Dear Shareholder,

Continued Fed tightening and the potential end of the rate hike cycle have been a primary focus of markets this year. Inflation is abating but remains fairly elevated relative to history. Domestically, the concentration of returns has been a story throughout the year, with 7-8 individual stocks driving the bulk of the gains in the S&P 500. This dynamic has started to unwind a bit, but is still pronounced. The Israel-Palestine conflict, which erupted in October, has not yet resulted in any major concerns for global equity markets, but the conflict is ongoing and volatile.

Here in the U.S., the economic data has been relatively strong of late. Consumer Spending and Real GDP have come in above expectations and further pushed out calls for a recession into 2024 and beyond. The labor market remains solid and above-average growth appears to have quelled stagflation fears as well. As the Fed rate hike cycle has continued, rates have risen in response. The 10yr Treasury Yield has gone from 3.88% at the end of 2022 to 4.88% at the end of October. The yield curve has started to un-invert which has renewed calls for a recession, but there are some arguments that ‘this time is different’ (arguably the 4 most dangerous words in the financial industry). For 2023, through the end of October, the S&P 500 is up 10.7%, far ahead of the MSCI EAFE (Developed Markets), which is up +3.2%, and the MSCI EM (Emerging Markets) Index which is down -1.8%. Rising rates have adversely affected the Bloomberg US Aggregate Bond Index, which is down -2.8% so far this year, after being down roughly -12% last year.

As we look to the final months of 2023, the rhetoric around the end of the rate hike cycle remains at the forefront. Central Banks around the globe have been tightening in response to inflation and they have seen some success, for the most part. As a result, the question shifts from “How much more will they hike?” to “When will they pause and/or start cutting rates?” The data will likely play a big role in these decisions but is feels safe to say we appear to be closing in on the end of the rate hike cycle, both here in the U.S. and abroad.

Main Sector Rotation ETF’s performance was +6.16% for the trailing year ended October 31, 2023. The S&P 500 returned +10.14% and the Morningstar US Large Blend Category returned +7.56% for the same period. The strongest positive contributions to the Fund’s performance came from its positions in Semiconductors (SMH), Information Technology (XLK), and the NASDAQ (QQQ), while its positions in Regional Banks (KRE), and Biotechnology (XBI) have dragged on performance. As we head into the next year, the Fund remains positioned with a barbell approach between value & cyclicals on one side and growth at a reasonable price on the other.

Main Thematic Innovation ETF’S performance was +3.88 % for the trailing year ended October 31, 2023. The MSCI All Country World Index returned +10.50% and the Morningstar US Fund Mid-Cap Growth Category returned -0.49%. For some perspective, the ARK Innovation ETF (ARKK), which is a well-known thematic fund, is down -8.37% over that time period as well. The strongest positive contributions to the Fund’s performance have come from its positions in China Internet (KWEB) and Video Gaming & eSports (ESPO), while its positions in Genomics (ARKG) and Solar (TAN) have weighed on performance. As we head into the next year, the Fund remains positioned with a variety of themes that we feel have strong growth prospects at a reasonable price, large total addressable markets, and prospects for significant further market penetration.

Main International ETF’s performance was -0.53% from the fund’s 12/1/22 inception through October 31, 2023 (note this is not for the trailing 1-year period). The MSCI All Country World ex-USA Index returned -1.71% and the Morningstar US Fund Foreign Large Blend Category returned +2.28% for the same period. The strongest positive contributions to the Fund’s performance have come from its positions in Poland (EPOL) and China Internet (KWEB), while its positions in Israel (EIS) and South Korea (FLKR) have weighed on performance.

We at Main Management ETF Advisors, LLC, would like to thank you for being an investor and look forward to working with you in the coming year.

Stocks in the top 70% of the capitalization of the US equity market are defined as large cap. The blend style is assigned to portfolios where neither growth nor value characteristics predominate.

Growth is defined based on fast growth (high growth rates for earnings, sales, book value, and cash flow) and high valuations (high price ratios and low dividend yields).

* The Fund’s past performance does not guarantee future results. The investment return and principal value of an investment in the Fund will fluctuate so that an investor’s shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. The returns shown do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on Fund distributions or on the sales of Fund shares. Current performance of the Fund may be lower or higher than the performance quoted. Performance data current to the most recent month end may be obtained by visiting www.mainmgtetfs.com or by calling 1-866-383-9778. The Fund’s per share net asset value (“NAV”) is the value of one share of the Fund as calculated in accordance with the standard formula for valuing fund shares. The NAV return is based on the NAV of the Fund and the market return is based on the market price per share of the Fund. Since November 2, 2020, market price returns are calculated using the closing price and account for distributions from the Fund. Prior to November 2, 2020, market price returns were calculated using the midpoint price and accounted for distributions from the Fund. The midpoint is the average of the bid-ask prices at 4:00 PM ET (when NAV is normally determined for most funds). Market and NAV returns assume that dividends and capital gain distributions have been reinvested in the Fund at Market Price and NAV, respectively. The Fund’s adviser has contractually agreed to reduce its fees and/or absorb expenses of the Fund, until at least February 28, 2031, to ensure that total annual fund operating expenses after fee waiver and/or reimbursement (exclusive of any front-end or contingent deferred loads, taxes, brokerage fees and commissions, borrowing costs (such as interest and dividend expense on securities sold short), acquired fund fees and expenses, fees and expenses associated with investments in other collective investment vehicles or derivative instruments (including for example option and swap fees and expenses), or extraordinary expenses such as litigation (which may include indemnification of Fund officers and Trustees, contractual indemnification of Fund service providers (other than the adviser))) will not exceed 0.65% of the Fund’s average daily net assets. These fee waivers and expense reimbursements are subject to possible recoupment by the adviser from the Fund in future years (within the three years from the time the fees were waived or reimbursed), if such recoupment can be achieved within the lesser of the foregoing expense limits or those in place at the time of recapture. This agreement may be terminated by the Board of Trustees only on 60 days’ written notice to the adviser. The Fund’s total annual operating expenses are 0.75%, including acquired fund fees and expenses, per the February 28, 2023 Prospectus.

Index returns assume reinvestment of dividends. Investors may not invest in the Index directly; unlike the Fund’s returns, the Index does not reflect any fees or expenses.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

October 31, 2023

1. ORGANIZATION

The Main Sector Rotation ETF, the Main Thematic Innovation ETF and the Main International ETF (the “Funds”) are each a diversified series of Northern Lights Fund Trust IV (the “Trust”), a Trust organized under the laws of the State of Delaware on June 2, 2015, and registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”), as open-end management investment companies. The Main Sector Rotation ETF commenced operations on September 5, 2017. The Main Thematic Innovation ETF commenced operations on January 28, 2021. The Main International ETF commenced operations on December 1, 2022. The Funds are “fund of funds” in that each Fund will generally invest in other investment companies.

The Funds’ investment objectives are as follows:

Main Sector Rotation ETF – seeks to outperform the S&P 500 Total Return Index in rising markets while limiting losses during periods of decline.

Main Thematic Innovation ETF – seeks to outperform the MSCI ACWI Index in rising markets while limiting losses during periods of decline.

Main International ETF – seeks to outperform the MSCI All Country World ex-USA Index® over a full market cycle while maintaining below-benchmark risk.

2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The following is a summary of significant accounting policies followed by the Funds in preparation of their financial statements. These policies are in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”). The preparation of financial statements 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 increase and decrease in net assets from operations during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. 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 Topic 946 “Financial Services – Investment Companies”.

Security Valuation – Securities listed on an exchange are valued at the last reported sale price at the close of the regular trading session of the exchange on the business day the value is being determined, or in the case of securities listed on NASDAQ at the NASDAQ Official Closing Price (“NOCP”). In the absence of a sale, such securities shall be valued at the mean between the current bid and ask prices on the day of valuation. Options contracts listed on a securities exchange or board of trade for which market quotations are readily available shall be valued at the last quoted sales price or, in the absence of a sale, at the mean between the current bid and ask prices on the day of valuation. Equity option contracts not listed on a securities exchange or board of trade for which over-the-counter market quotations are readily available shall be valued at the mean between the current bid and ask prices on the day of valuation. Index options shall be valued at the mean between the current bid and ask prices on the day of valuation. Investments in open-end investment companies are valued at net asset value, including the short-term investment currently held. Debt securities (other than short-term obligations) are valued each day by an independent pricing service approved by the Board of Trustees (the “Board”) based on methods which include consideration of: yields or prices of securities of comparable quality, coupon, maturity and type, indications as to values from dealers, and general market conditions or market quotations from a major market maker in the securities. Short-term debt obligations, having 60 days or less remaining until maturity at time of purchase, may be valued at amortized cost.

The Fund may hold investments, such as private investments, interests in commodity pools, other non-traded securities or temporarily illiquid securities, for which market quotations are not readily available or are determined to be unreliable. These securities will be valued using the “fair value” procedures approved by the Board. The Board has delegated execution of these procedures to the adviser as its valuation designee (the “Valuation

MAIN ETFS

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)

October 31, 2023

Designee”) . The Board may also enlist third party consultants such as a valuation specialist at a public accounting firm, valuation consultant or financial officer of a security issuer on an as-needed basis to assist the Valuation Designee in determining a security-specific fair value. The Board is responsible for reviewing and approving fair value methodologies utilized by the Valuation Designee, which approval shall be based upon whether the Valuation Designee followed the valuation procedures established by the Board.

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

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

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

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

19

MAIN ETFS

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)

October 31, 2023

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

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

The inputs or methodology used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities. The following tables summarize the inputs used as of October 31, 2023 for the Funds’ investments measured at fair value:

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

Option Transactions – When a Fund writes a call option, an amount equal to the premium received is included in the Statements of Assets and Liabilities as a liability. The amount of the liability is subsequently marked-to-market to reflect the current market value of the option. If an option expires on its stipulated expiration date or if a Fund enters into a closing purchase transaction, a gain or loss is realized. If a written call option is exercised, a gain or loss is realized for the sale of the underlying security and the proceeds from the sale are increased by the premium originally received. As writer of an option, a Fund has no control over whether the option will be

20

MAIN ETFS

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)

October 31, 2023

exercised and, as a result, retains the market risk of an unfavorable change in the price of the security underlying the written option.

The Funds may purchase put and call options. A call option on a security is a contract that gives the holder of the option, in return for a premium, the right, but not the obligation, to buy from the writer of the option the security underlying the option at a specified exercise or “strike” price by or before the contract’s expiration. Put options are purchased to hedge against a decline in the value of securities held in the Funds’ portfolios. If such a decline occurs, the put options will permit the Funds to sell the securities underlying such options at the exercise price, or to close out the options at a profit. The premium paid for a put or call option plus any transaction costs will reduce the benefit, if any, realized by the Funds upon exercise of the option, and, unless the price of the underlying security rises or declines sufficiently, the option may expire worthless to the Funds. In addition, in the event that the price of the security in connection with which an option was purchased moves in a direction favorable to the Funds, the benefits realized by the Funds as a result of such favorable movement will be reduced by the amount of the premium paid for the option and related transaction costs. Written and purchased options are non-income producing securities. With purchased options, there is minimal counterparty risk to the Funds since these options are exchange traded and the exchange’s clearinghouse, as counterparty to all exchange traded options, guarantees against a possible default.

Exchange Traded Funds – The Funds may invest in ETFs. ETFs are a type of fund bought and sold on a securities exchange. An ETF trades like common stock and represents a portfolio of securities. The Funds may purchase an ETF to gain exposure to a portion of the U.S. or a foreign market. The risks of owning an ETF generally reflect the risks of owning the underlying securities they are designed to track, although the lack of liquidity on an ETF could result in it being more volatile. Additionally, ETFs have fees and expenses that reduce their value.

Derivatives Risk – The Funds’ use of derivative instruments involves risks different from, or possibly greater than, the risks associated with investing directly in securities and other traditional investments. These risks include (i) the risk that the counterparty to a derivative transaction may not fulfill its contractual obligations; (ii) risk of mispricing or improper valuation; and (iii) the risk that changes in the value of the derivative may not correlate perfectly with the underlying asset, rate or index. Derivative prices are highly volatile and may fluctuate substantially during a short period of time. Such prices are influenced by numerous factors that affect the markets, including, but not limited to: changing supply and demand relationships; government programs and policies; national and international political and economic events, changes in interest rates, inflation and deflation and changes in supply and demand relationships. Trading derivative instruments involves risks different from, or possibly greater than, the risks associated with investing directly in securities including:

Leverage and Volatility Risk: Derivative contracts ordinarily have leverage inherent in their terms. The low margin deposits normally required in trading derivatives, including options, permit a high degree of leverage. Accordingly, a relatively small price movement may result in an immediate and substantial loss to the Funds. The use of leverage may also cause the Funds to liquidate portfolio positions when it would not be advantageous to do so in order to satisfy its obligations or to meet collateral segregation requirements. The use of leveraged derivatives can magnify the Funds’ potential for gain or loss and, therefore, amplify the effects of market volatility on the Funds’ share price.

Options Risk: There are risks associated with the sale and purchase of call and put options. As a seller (writer) of a put option, the Funds will tend to lose money if the value of the reference index or security falls below the strike price. As the seller (writer) of a call option, the Funds may experience lower returns if the value of the reference index or security rises above the strike price.

Index Call Option Risk: Because the exercise of index options is settled in cash, sellers of index call options, such as the Funds, cannot provide in advance for their potential settlement obligations by acquiring and holding the underlying securities. The Funds bear a risk that the value of the securities held by the Funds will vary from the value of the index and relative to the written index call option positions.

21

October 31, 2023

Accordingly, the Funds may incur losses on the index call options that it has sold that exceed gains on other securities in its portfolio. The value of index options written by the Funds, which will be priced daily, will be affected by changes in the value of and dividend rates of the underlying common stocks in the index, changes in the actual or perceived volatility of the stock market and the remaining time to the options’ expiration. The value of the index options also may be adversely affected if the market for the index options becomes less liquid or smaller.

As a writer of an index call option, a Fund forgoes, during the option’s life, the opportunity to profit from increases in the market value of the index underlying the call option above the sum of the premium and the strike price of the option, but will retain the risk of loss should the market value of the index underlying the call option decline. The purchaser of the index call option has the right to any appreciation in the value of the underlying index over the exercise price upon the exercise of the call option or the expiration date.

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

Distributions to Shareholders – Dividends from net investment income, if any, are declared and paid quarterly. Distributable net realized capital gains, if any, are declared and distributed annually. Dividends from net investment income and distributions from net realized gains are determined in accordance with federal income tax regulations, which may differ from GAAP. These “book/tax” differences are considered either temporary (e.g., deferred losses, capital loss carryforwards, etc.) or permanent in nature. To the extent these differences are permanent in nature, such amounts are reclassified within the composition of net assets based on their federal tax-basis treatment; temporary differences do not require reclassification. Any such reclassifications will have no effect on net assets, results of operations, or net asset values per share of the Funds. Dividends that represent long term capital gain distributions from underlying investments are reclassified out of dividend income and presented separately for financial reporting purposes. The Funds hold certain investments which pay dividends to their shareholders based upon available funds from operations. Distributions received from investments in securities that represent a return of capital or long-term capital gains are recorded as a reduction of the cost of investments or as a realized gain, respectively.

Federal Income Taxes – The Funds intend to continue to comply with the requirements of the Internal Revenue Code applicable to regulated investment companies and to distribute all of its taxable income to its shareholders. Therefore, no provision for federal income tax is required.

The Funds recognize the tax benefits of uncertain tax positions only where the position is “more likely than not” to be sustained assuming examination by tax authorities. Management has analyzed the Fund’s tax positions and has concluded that no liability for unrecognized tax benefits should be recorded related to uncertain tax positions taken on returns filed for open tax years ended May 31, 2020, to May 31, 2021 and the period ended October 31, 2022, or expected to be taken in the Fund’s October 31, 2023 year-end tax returns. The Funds identify their major tax jurisdictions as U.S. Federal, Ohio and foreign jurisdictions where the Funds make significant investments. The Funds recognize interest and penalties, if any, related to unrecognized tax benefits as income tax expense in the Statements of Operations. For the year ended October 31, 2023, the Funds did not incur any interest or penalties. The Funds are not aware of any tax positions for which it is reasonably possible that the total amounts of unrecognized tax benefits will change materially in the next twelve months.

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

22

MAIN ETFS

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)

October 31, 2023

Indemnification – The Trust indemnifies its officers and trustees for certain liabilities that may arise from the performance of their duties to the Trust. Additionally, in the normal course of business, the Funds enter into contracts that contain a variety of representations and warranties and which provide general indemnities. 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. However, based on experience, the risk of loss due to these warranties and indemnities appears to be remote.

Cash and Cash Equivalents – Cash and cash equivalents are held with a financial institution and include demand deposits and short-term, liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less. The assets of the Funds may be placed in deposit accounts at U.S. banks and such deposits generally exceed Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”) insurance limits. The FDIC insures deposit accounts up to $250,000 for each accountholder. The counterparty is generally a single bank rather than a group of financial institutions; thus there may be a greater counterparty credit risk. The Funds place deposits only with those counterparties which are believed to be creditworthy and there has been no history of loss.

Securities Lending Risk – The Funds may lend portfolio securities to institutions, such as banks and certain broker-dealers. The Funds may experience a loss or delay in the recovery of its securities if the borrowing institution breaches its agreement with the Funds (see additional information at Note 8).

6. DISTRIBUTIONS TO SHAREHOLDERS AND TAX COMPONENTS OF CAPITAL

The tax character of Funds’ distributions for the period ended October 31, 2023, and October 31,2022 was as follows:

	For the period ended October 31, 2023:

The difference between book basis and tax basis accumulated net investment income, unrealized appreciation (depreciation) and accumulated net realized loss from investments is primarily attributable to the tax deferral of losses on wash sales and straddles. In addition, the amount listed under other book/tax differences for the Funds is primarily attributable to the tax deferral of losses on straddles.

Late year losses incurred after December 31 within the fiscal year are deemed to arise on the first business day of the following fiscal year for tax purposes. The Main Thematic Innovation ETF incurred and elected to defer such late year losses of $52,883.

7. CAPITAL SHARE TRANSACTIONS

Shares are not individually redeemable and may be redeemed by the Funds at net asset value only in large blocks known as “Creation Units.” Shares are created and redeemed by the Main Sector Rotation ETF only in Creation Unit size aggregations of 50,000 shares. Shares are created and redeemed by the Main Thematic Innovation ETF and Main International ETF only in Creation Unit size aggregations of 10,000 shares. Only Authorized Participants are permitted to purchase or redeem Creation Units from the Funds. 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 DTC participant and, in each case, must have executed a Participant Agreement with the Distributor. Such transactions are generally permitted on an in-kind basis, with a balancing cash component to equate the transaction to the net asset value per share of the Funds on the transaction date. Cash may be substituted equivalent to the value of certain securities generally when they are not available in sufficient quantity for delivery, not eligible for trading by the Authorized Participant or as a result of other market circumstances. In addition, the Funds may impose transaction fees on purchases and redemptions of Funds shares to cover the custodial and other costs incurred by the Funds in effecting trades. A fixed fee payable to the custodian may be imposed on each creation and redemption transaction regardless of the number of Creation Units involved in the transaction (“Fixed Fee”). Purchases and redemptions of Creation Units for cash or involving cash-in-lieu are required to pay an additional variable charge to compensate the Funds and its ongoing shareholders for brokerage and market impact expenses relating to Creation Unit transactions (“Variable Charge,” and together with the Fixed Fee, the “Transaction Fees”). Transactions in capital shares for the Funds are disclosed in the Statements of Changes in Net Assets. For the year ended October 31, 2023, the fixed and variable fees were as follows:

	Fixed Fees		Variable Fees
Main Sector Rotation ETF	$	21,200	$	—
Main Thematic Innovation ETF	$	15,200	$	—
Main International ETF	$	7,200	$	—

8. SECURITIES LENDING

Under an agreement (the “Securities Lending Agreement”) with Brown Brothers Harriman (“BBH”), each Fund can lend its portfolio securities to brokers, dealers and other financial institutions approved by the Board to earn additional income. The securities lending agreement requires that loans are collateralized at all times in an amount equal to at least 100% of the value of any loaned securities at the time of the loan. Each Fund receives compensation in the form of fees. The amount of fees depends on a number of factors including the type of security and length of the loan. Each Fund continues to receive interest payments or dividends on the securities loaned during the borrowing period. Gain or loss in the fair value of securities loaned that may occur during the term of the loan will be for the account of each Fund. Each Fund has the right under the terms of the securities lending agreement to recall the securities from the borrower on demand. The cash collateral is held by the custodian in accordance with the custody agreement. Each Fund could experience delays in recovering their securities and possible loss of income or value if the borrower fails to return the borrowed securities, although the Funds are indemnified from this risk by contract with the securities lending agent.

The following table breaks out the Funds’ securities lending transactions accounted for as secured borrowings with cash collateral of overnight and continuous maturities as of October 31, 2023:

		Overnight and		Up to				Greater than
	Collateral	Continuous		30 Days		30-90 days		90 days		Total

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 laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

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

Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of October 31, 2023, by correspondence with the custodian and brokers; when replies were not received from brokers, we performed other auditing procedures. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

We have served as the auditor of one or more investment companies with a related advisor since 2015.

EXPENSE EXAMPLE (Unaudited)

October 31, 2023

ETFs have operating expenses. As a shareholder of the Funds you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including brokerage commissions on purchases and sales of Fund shares; and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees 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 funds. A shareholder may incur brokerage commissions on their purchase and sales of Fund shares, which are not reflected in the examples below.

The example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period as disclosed in the table below.

Actual Expenses

The “Actual” lines in the table below provide information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information below, 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 table under the heading entitled “Expenses Paid During Period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.

Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes

The “Hypothetical” lines in the table below provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Funds’ actual expense ratios and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which are not the Funds’ actual returns. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balances or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to 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 and do not reflect any transactional costs, such as brokerage commissions paid. Therefore, the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transactional costs were included, your costs would have been higher.

		Ending	Annualized
	Beginning	Account	Expense	Expenses Paid
	Account Value	Value	Ratio	During Period
Actual	5/1/23	10/31/23		5/1/23-10/31/23*
Main Sector Rotation ETF	$1,000.00	$1,010.80	0.57%	$2.89
Main Thematic Innovation ETF	$1,000.00	$959.60	0.96%	$4.74
Main International ETF	$1,000.00	$940.00	0.64%	$3.13
Hypothetical**
(5% return before expenses)	5/1/23	10/31/23		5/1/23-10/31/23*
Main Sector Rotation ETF	$1,000.00	$1,022.33	0.57%	$2.91
Main Thematic Innovation ETF	$1,000.00	$1,020.37	0.96%	$4.89
Main International ETF	$1,000.00	$1,021.98	0.64%	$3.26

* Expenses are equal to the average account value over the period, multiplied by the Fund’s annualized expense ratio, multiplied by the number of days in the period (184) divided by the number of days in the fiscal year (365).

** The hypothetical example assumes that the Fund was in operation for the full six months ended October 31, 2023.

LIQUIDITY RISK MANAGEMENT PROGRAM

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

During the year ended October 31, 2023, the Trust’s Liquidity Risk Management Program Committee (the “Committee”) reviewed the Funds’ investments and determined that the Funds held adequate levels of cash and highly liquid investments to meet shareholder redemption activities in accordance with applicable requirements. Accordingly, the Committee concluded that (i) the Funds’ liquidity risk management program is reasonably designed to prevent violations of the Liquidity Rule and (ii) the Funds’ liquidity risk management program has been effectively implemented.

FOREIGN TAX CREDIT

The following Funds intend to elect to pass through to shareholders the income tax credit for taxes paid to foreign countries. Foreign source income and foreign tax expense per outstanding share as of fiscal year ended October 31, 2023, were as follows:

Renewal of the Investment Advisory Agreement with Main Management ETF Advisors, LLC

In connection with the meeting of the Board of Trustees (the “Board”) of Northern Lights Fund Trust IV (the “Trust”) held on July 24, 2023 (the “Meeting”), the Board, including a majority of the Trustees who are not “interested persons” as that term is defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, discussed the renewal of an investment advisory agreement (the “Main Advisory Agreement”) between Main Management ETF Advisors, LLC (“MMEA”) and the Trust, with respect to Main Sector Rotation ETF (“Main SR”) and Main Thematic Innovation ETF (“Main TI” and collectively, the “Main ETFs”). In considering the renewal of the Main Advisory Agreement, the Board received materials specifically relating to the Main Advisory Agreement.

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

Nature, Extent and Quality of Services. The Board reviewed the responsibilities and business experience of the key professionals at MMEA that were providing advisory services to the Main ETFs and noted that each had been with MMEA since 2017 and with MMEA’s parent company for at least a decade if not longer. The Board recognized that each were seasoned industry professionals with extensive experience in research, operations and trading. The Board acknowledged that MMEA provided research, analysis, compliance and operations services to the Main ETFs. The Board discussed that MMEA engaged an outside compliance consultant to assist the chief compliance officer in his oversight duties. The Board reviewed MMEA’s description of the manner in which its traders and portfolio managers monitored strategy positions daily to ensure ongoing compliance with investment limitations. The Board noted that MMEA reported no cybersecurity incidents or compliance issues since the advisory agreement’s most recent renewal. The Board noted that MMEA chose broker-dealers on the basis of best execution and that it monitored bid/ask spreads, differences between share price and net asset value per share, volume, creates and redeems, rebalancing and tracking error. The Board discussed that MMEA reported no material litigation or regulatory examinations since the most recent renewal of the advisory agreement. The Board concluded that it could expect MMEA to continue providing high quality services to each of the Main ETFs and its shareholders.

Performance.

Main SR—The Board discussed that Main SR’s 5.37% net return over the 1-year period was the second highest return of its peer group and was higher than the 2.66% net return of the S&P 500 Total Return Index and 1.76% median net return of the Morningstar category. The Board noted that Main SR’s 16.70% net return over the 3- year period was the highest of its peer group and higher than the 14.52% net return of the S&P 500 Total Return Index and 13.51% median net return of the Morningstar category. The Board observed that the Main SR’s 5-year net return of 9.44% slightly trailed the 9.58% median return of the Morningstar category and exceeded the 7.91% median net return of the peer group. The Board reviewed that Main SR’s 9.71% net return over the since inception period outperformed the 9.62% median net return of the Morningstar category and the 8.04% median net return of the peer group. The Board concluded that Main SR’s performance was acceptable.

Main TI—The Board observed that Main TI had underperformed its benchmark, Morningstar category and peer group over all periods. The Board noted MMEA’s explanation that the end of the interest rate hike cycle could provide a more favorable backdrop for the thematic space which was large comprised of growth industries. The Board reviewed that MMEA reported that the relative slowdown in interest rate increases corresponded to a 14% performance increase for the first quarter of the year. The Board determined that

33

MAIN ETFs

SUPPLEMENTAL INFORMATION (Unaudited) (Continued)

October 31, 2023

MMEA has yet to manage Main TI over a full market cycle. The Board concluded that Main TI’s performance was acceptable.

Fees and Expenses.

Main SR—The Board noted that Main SR’s 0.50% advisory fee was lower than the 0.52% average advisory fee of the Morningstar category and the 0.59% average advisory fee of the peer group. The Board discussed that Main SR’s 0.58% net expense ratio was lower than the 0.64% average net expense ratio of the peer group and well below the 1.38% high of the Morningstar category. The Board determined that MMEA’s fees for Main SR were not unreasonable.

Main TI—The Board observed that the 0.65% advisory fee for Main TI was on par with the median of the peer group and only slightly higher than the 0.63% average of the Morningstar category. The Board noted that the 0.96% net expense ratio for Main TI was lower than the 1.00% high of the Morningstar category and slightly lower than the 0.97% high of the peer group. The Board determined that MMEA’s fees for Main TI were not unreasonable.

Profitability . The Board reviewed the profitability analysis provided by MMEA for each of the Main ETFs. The Board observed that MMEA was earning a reasonable profit from each of Main SR and Main TI. The Board determined that excessive profitability was not an issue for MMEA with respect to either Main ETF as this time.

Economies of Scale. The Board considered whether economies of scale had been reached with respect to the management of the Main ETFs. The Board noted that MMEA had indicated a willingness to evaluate the appropriateness of breakpoints when at higher asset levels. The Board agreed to monitor and revisit the issue at the appropriate time.

Conclusion. Having requested such information from MMEA as the Board believed to be reasonably necessary to evaluate the terms of the Main Advisory Agreement, and with the advice of independent counsel, the Board determined that renewal of the Main Advisory Agreement with MMEA on behalf of the Main ETFs was in the best interests of each Main ETF and its shareholders.
