OAKHURST STRATEGIC DEFINED RISK FUND



June 6, 2023
 
Dear Shareholders:
 
From November 1, 2022, through April 30, 2023, Oakhurst Strategic Defined Risk Fund, (the “Fund” or “OASDX”) posted a gain of 5.40% compared to a gain of 7.68% for the S&P 500 Index, representing an upside capture of 63%. This upside capture of returns is consistent with the risk and reward objective of the Fund. For the 1-year period ending April 30, 2023, the Fund posted a gain of 1.58% compared to a gain of 0.91% for the S&P 500 Index. The outperformance of the Fund versus its index during this period is attributed to a combination of opportunistic positioning and continued benefit from the interest earned of the collateral assets in the Fund.
 
The Fund’s Objective: Capital appreciation while attempting to limit short term risk

Continuing through 2023, we are focused on the following economic themes:
 
Macro Economics: Uncertainties around the medium-term implications for growth from tighter credit conditions remain elevated.
 
Jobs: While the overall details of April’s jobs report were positive, both February and March had downward revisions, with February being revised down by 78,000 jobs and March by 71,000. The last time we saw this big of a downward revision was 2008, and before that it was the recession of ‘81-’82. To sum up, though, it looks like the labor market continues to steadily cool, which lends evidence to the argument of a soft-landing for the U.S. economy.
 
Inflation: Headline and Core CPI have been trending downward since the peak in 2022. Recent increases in core inflation were due to shelter inflation but data suggests that we could see shelter coming down by year end.
 
Going Forward
 
We believe the Fund is well positioned with a mix of short, intermediate, and longer-term trades with significant levels of hedging against downside risk. Compared to years past, the current higher interest rate environment and high-moderate volatility environment continue to make both capped and uncapped trades attractive from a risk versus reward perspective. This situation bodes well for finding suitable replacements for expiring portfolio positions as they occur.

Definitions
 
S&P 500 (Price):
 
The S&P 500® is widely regarded as the best single gauge of large-cap U.S. equities. There is over USD 9.9 trillion indexed or benchmarked to the index, with indexed assets comprising approximately USD 3.4 trillion of this total. The index includes 500 leading companies and covers approximately 80% of available market capitalization.
 
Headline CPI:
 
Headline CPI refers to the raw inflation figure reported through the Consumer Price Index (CPI), released monthly by the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS). The CPI calculates the cost to purchase a fixed basket of goods to determine how much inflation is occurring in the broad economy. The CPI uses a base year and indexes the current year's prices, according to the base year's values.
 
Core CPI:
 
Core CPI removes the CPI components that can exhibit large amounts of volatility from month to month, specifically food and energy prices.
 
The outlook, views, and opinions presented are those of the Adviser as of April 30, 2023. These are not intended to be a forecast of future events, a guarantee of future results, or investment advice.
 
Must be preceded or accompanied by a prospectus.
 
Fund’s investments in other investment companies, including ETFs, will be subject to substantially the same risks as those associated with the direct ownership of the securities comprising the portfolio of such investment companies and the value of the Fund’s investment will fluctuate in response to the performance of such portfolio. These risks apply to the Fund, as well as the Underlying Funds, which may themselves invest in other investment companies. Investments in debt securities typically decrease in value when interest rates rise. This risk is usually greater for longer-term debt securities. Investment by the Fund in lower- rated and non-rated securities presents a greater risk of loss to principal and interest than higher-rated securities. The Fund may invest in derivative securities, which derive their performance from the performance of an underlying asset, index, interest rate or currency exchange rate. Derivatives can be volatile and involve various types and degrees of risks. Depending on the characteristics of the particular derivative, it could become illiquid.
 
An index is unmanaged. Investors cannot invest directly in an index.
 
Fund holdings are subject to change and should not be considered a recommendation to buy or sell any security. For a complete list of portfolio holdings, please refer the Schedule of Investments provided in this report.

Value of $25,000 Investment (Unaudited)

 

 
The chart assumes an initial investment of $25,000. Performance reflects waivers of fees and operating expenses in effect. In the absence of such waivers, total return would be reduced. Past performance is not predictive of future performance. Investment return and principal value will fluctuate, so that your shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. To obtain performance information current to the most recent month-end without charge, please call 1-844-625-4778. Performance assumes the reinvestment of capital gains and income distributions. The performance does not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on Fund distributions or the redemption of Fund shares.

The Standard & Poor’s 500 Index (“S&P”) is a capitalization-weighted index, representing the aggregate market value of the common equity of 500 stocks primarily traded on the New York Stock Exchange. Investors cannot invest directly in an index or benchmark.

The Fund’s gross expense ratio is 1.68% and the net expense ratio is 1.68% (as of the most recent prospectus dated August 28, 2022). The expense ratios stated here may differ from that of the expense ratios provided in the Fund’s financial highlights herewithin due to the timing of financial information and the inclusion of acquired fund fees and expenses (“AFFE”) in the prospectus only. The Fund’s investment advisor has contractually agreed to waive a portion or all of its management fees and reimburse Fund expenses excluding front-end or contingent deferred sales loads, Rule 12b-1 fees, shareholder servicing plan fees, AFFE, taxes, leverage/borrowing interest, interest expense, dividends on securities sold short, brokerage and other transactional expenses, expenses incurred in connection with any merger or reorganization, or extraordinary expenses) in order to limit the Total Annual Fund Operating Expenses to 1.50% of the average daily net assets of the Fund or by the Fund’s investment advisor. The advisor may request recoupment of previously waived fees and reimbursed expenses from the Fund for three years from the date they were waived or reimbursed, provided that after payment of the recoupment, the Total Annual Fund Operating Expenses do not exceed the lesser of the Expense Cap: (i) in effect at the time of the waiver or reimbursement; or (ii) in effect at the time of recoupment.

Expense Example (Unaudited)
April 30, 2023

As a shareholder of the Fund, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees and other Fund specific expenses. The expense example is intended to help the shareholder understand ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds. The example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the most recent six-month period.
 
The Actual Expenses comparison provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. A shareholder may use the information in this line, together with the amount invested, to estimate the expenses paid over the period. A shareholder may divide his/her account value by $1,000 (e.g., 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 paid on his/her account during this period.
 
The Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes 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 the Fund’s actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses paid for the period. A shareholder may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Fund and other funds. To do so, a shareholder would compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of other funds.
 
The expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transactional costs, such as sales charges (loads), redemptions fees or exchange fees. Therefore, the Hypothetical Example for Comparisons Purposes is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help to determine the relevant total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transactional costs were included, shareholder costs would have been higher.

OAKHURST STRATEGIC DEFINED RISK FUND


Notes to the Financial Statements
April 30, 2023

1.  ORGANIZATION
 
Series Portfolios Trust (the “Trust”) was organized as a Delaware statutory trust under a Declaration of Trust dated July 27, 2015. The Trust is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”), as an open-end management investment company. The Oakhurst Strategic Defined Risk Fund (the “Fund”) is a diversified series with its own investment objectives and policies within the Trust. The primary investment objective of the Fund is to seek capital appreciation while seeking to limit short-term risk. The Fund commenced operations on May 10, 2017. The Fund is an investment company and accordingly follows the investment company accounting and reporting guidance of the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (the “Codification”) Topic 946 Financial Services – Investment Companies. The Fund does not hold itself out as related to any other series of the Trust for purposes of investment and investor services, nor does it share the same investment adviser with any other series of the Trust.
 
The Fund offers two share classes, Institutional Class and Advisor Class. Institutional Class shares have no front end sales load, no deferred sales charge, and no redemption fee. Advisor Class shares have a front end sales load of 5.75%, a deferred sales charge of 1.00%, and no redemption fee. Advisor Class shares are subject to a 0.25% distribution fee and a shareholder servicing fee of up to 0.10% of average daily net assets. As of April 30, 2023, Advisor Class shares are not available. Institutional Class shares are not subject to a distribution fee, and are subject to a shareholder servicing fee of up to 0.10% of average daily net assets.
 
The Fund may issue an unlimited number of shares of beneficial interest, with no par value. All shares of the Fund have equal rights and privileges except with respect to distribution fees and voting rights on matters affecting a single share class.
 
Effective May 20, 2019, the Fund changed its principal investment strategy. Under this new strategy, the Fund invests in a portfolio of equity securities of companies that are representative of the S&P 500 Index (the “Index”) or ETFs that are designed to replicate the performance of the Index or whose holdings are representative of the Index. The Fund will simultaneously use options on ETFs in which the Fund may invest and will invest in U.S. Treasury securities to enhance the Fund’s potential returns during up markets while seeking to limit losses during down markets. The performance of the Fund is not intended to match the performance of the Index.
 
2.  SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
 
The following is a summary of significant accounting policies consistently followed by the Fund in the preparation of its financial statements. These policies are in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“GAAP”).
 
A.    Investment Valuation – The following is a summary of the Fund’s pricing procedures. It is intended to be a general discussion and may not necessarily reflect all the pricing procedures followed by the Fund. Equity securities, including common stocks, preferred stocks, and real estate investment trusts (“REITS”) that are traded on a national securities exchange, except those listed on the Nasdaq Global Market®, Nasdaq Global Select Market® and the Nasdaq Capital Market® exchanges (collectively “Nasdaq”), are valued at the last reported sale price on that exchange on which the security is principally traded. Securities traded on Nasdaq will be valued at the Nasdaq Official Closing Price (“NOCP”). If, on a particular day, an exchange traded or Nasdaq security does not trade, then the mean between the most recent quoted bid and asked prices will be used. All equity securities that are not traded on a listed exchange are valued at the last sale price in the over-the-counter market. If a non-exchange traded equity security does not trade

OAKHURST STRATEGIC DEFINED RISK FUND

 
Notes to the Financial Statements – Continued
April 30, 2023

on a particular day, then the mean between the last quoted closing bid and asked price will be used. To the extent these securities are actively traded and valuation adjustments are not applied, they are categorized in Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy.
 
Investments in registered open-end investment companies (including money market funds) are typically valued at their reported net asset value (“NAV”) per share. To the extent these securities are valued at their NAV per share, they are categorized in Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy.
 
Exchange traded funds are valued at the last reported sale price on the exchange on which the security is principally traded. If, on a particular day, an exchange-traded fund does not trade, then the mean between the most recent quoted bid and asked prices will be used. To the extent these securities are actively traded and valuation adjustments are not applied, they are categorized in Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy.
 
Exchange traded options are valued at the composite mean price, which calculates the mean of the highest bid price and lowest ask prices across the exchanges where the options are principally traded. If the composite mean price is not available, last sale or settlement price may be used. For non-exchange traded options, models such as Black- Scholes can be used to value the options. On the last trading day prior to expiration, expiring options may be priced at intrinsic value. These securities are categorized in Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.
 
Fixed income securities, including short-term debt instruments having a maturity less than 60 days, are valued at the evaluated mean price supplied by an approved independent third-party pricing service (“Pricing Service”). These securities are categorized in Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.
 
The Board of Trustees (the “Board”) has adopted a pricing and valuation policy for use by the Fund and its Valuation Designee (as defined below) in calculating the Fund’s NAV. Pursuant to Rule 2a-5 under the 1940 Act, the Fund has designated the Adviser as its “Valuation Designee” to perform all of the fair value determinations as well as to perform all of the responsibilities that may be performed by the Valuation Designee in accordance with Rule 2a-5. The Valuation Designee is authorized to make all necessary determinations of the fair values of the portfolio securities and other assets for which market quotations are not readily available or if it is deemed that the prices obtained from brokers and dealers or independent pricing services are unreliable.
 
The Fund has adopted authoritative fair value accounting standards which establish an authoritative definition of fair value and set out a hierarchy for measuring fair value. These standards require additional disclosures about the various inputs and valuation techniques used to develop the measurements of fair value, a discussion in changes in valuation techniques and related inputs during the period and expanded disclosure of valuation levels for major security types. These inputs are summarized in the three broad levels listed below:
 
Level 1 –
Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the Fund has the ability to access.
   
Level 2 –
Observable inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly. These inputs may include quoted prices for the identical instrument on an inactive market, prices for similar instruments, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, yield curves, default rates and similar data.
   
Level 3 –
Unobservable inputs for the asset or liability, to the extent relevant observable inputs are not available, representing the Fund’s own assumptions about the assumptions a market participant would use in valuing the asset or liability, and would be based on the best information available.

As of April 30, 2023, the Fund did not hold any Level 3 securities, nor were there any transfers into or out of Level 3.
 
B.    Transactions with Brokers – The Fund’s written options contracts’ cash deposits are monitored daily by the Adviser and counterparty. Cash deposits by the Fund are presented as deposits at broker for written option contracts on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. These transactions may involve market risk in excess of the assets or liabilities reflected on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities.
 
C.    Written Option Contracts – The Fund is subject to equity price risk in the normal course of pursuing its investment objectives. The Fund will write call or put options. Under normal circumstances, the Fund will write or purchase options on ETFs that are designed to replicate the performance of the Index or whose holdings are representative of the Index. The use of options may give rise to leverage. Leverage is investment exposure which exceeds the initial amount invested. Leverage can cause the Fund to lose more than the principal amount invested. When a Fund writes (sells) an option, an amount equal to the premium received by the Fund is included in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities as an asset and an equivalent liability. The amount of the liability is subsequently priced daily to reflect the current value of the option written. Refer to Note 2 A. for a pricing description. By writing an option, a Fund may become obligated during the term of the option to deliver or purchase the securities underlying the option at the exercise price if the option is exercised. These contracts may involve market risk in excess of the amounts receivable or payable reflected on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Refer to Note 2 M. for further derivative disclosures and Note 2 J. for further counterparty risk disclosure.
 
When an option expires on its stipulated expiration date or the Fund enters into a closing purchase transaction, the Fund realizes gains or losses if the cost of the closing purchase transaction differs from the premium received when the option was sold without regard to any unrealized appreciation or depreciation on the underlying security, and the liability related to such an option is eliminated. When a written call option is exercised, the premium originally received decreases the cost basis of the security and the Fund realizes gains or losses from the sale of the underlying security. When a written put option is exercised, the cost of the security acquired is decreased by the premium received for the put.

Notes to the Financial Statements – Continued
April 30, 2023

D.    Purchased Option Contracts – The Fund is subject to equity price risk in the normal course of pursuing its investment objectives. The Fund will purchase call or put options. In connection with the Fund’s written option contracts, the Fund will simultaneously use options on ETFs. When the Fund purchases an option contract, an amount equal to the premiums paid is included in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities as Investments at value, and is subsequently priced daily to reflect the value of the purchased option contract. Refer to Note 2 A. for a pricing description. Refer to Note 2 M. for further derivative disclosures and Note 2 J. for further counterparty risk disclosure. When option contracts expire or are closed, realized gains or losses are recognized without regard to any unrealized appreciation or depreciation on the underlying securities that may be held by the Fund. If the Fund exercises a call option, the cost of the security acquired is increased by the premium paid for the call. If the Fund exercises a put option, the premium paid for the put option increases the cost of the underlying security and a gain or loss is realized from the sale of the underlying security.
 
E.    Cash and Cash Equivalents – The Fund considers highly liquid short-term fixed income investments purchased with an original maturity of less than three months to be cash equivalents. Cash equivalents are included in short- term investments on the Schedule of Investments as well as in investments on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Temporary cash overdrafts are reported as payable to custodian.
 
F.    Guarantees and Indemnifications – In the normal course of business, the Fund enters into contracts with service providers that contain general indemnification clauses. The Fund’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown, as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Fund that have not yet occurred.
 
G.    Security Transactions, Income and Expenses – The Fund follows industry practice and records security transactions on the trade date. Realized gains and losses on sales of securities are calculated on the basis of identified cost. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date and interest income and expense is recorded on an accrual basis. Withholding taxes on foreign dividends have been provided for in accordance with the Fund’s understanding of the applicable country’s tax rules and regulations. Discounts and premiums on securities purchased are amortized over the expected life of the respective securities. Interest income is accounted for on the accrual basis and includes amortization of premiums and accretion of discounts on the effective interest method.
 
H.    Allocation of Income, Expenses and Gains/Losses – Income, expenses (other than those deemed attributable to a specific share class), and gains and losses of the Fund are allocated daily to each class of shares based upon the ratio of net assets represented by each class as a percentage of the net assets of the Fund. Expenses deemed directly attributable to a class of shares are recorded by the specific class. Most Fund expenses are allocated by class based on relative net assets. 12b-1 fees are expensed at 0.25% of average daily net assets of Advisor Class shares (See Note 5). Shareholder servicing fees are expensed at an annual rate of up to 0.10% of average daily net assets of each class of shares (See Note 5). Trust Expenses associated with a specific fund in the Trust are charged to that fund. Common Trust expenses are typically allocated evenly between the funds of the Trust, or by other equitable means.
 
I.    Share Valuation – The NAV per share of the Fund is calculated by dividing the sum of the value of the securities held by the Fund, plus cash or other assets, minus all liabilities (including estimated accrued expenses) by the total number of shares outstanding for the Fund, rounded to the nearest cent. The Fund’s shares will not be priced on days which the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) is closed for trading.
 
J.    Counterparty Risk – The Fund helps manage counterparty credit risk by entering into agreements only with counterparties the Adviser believes have the financial resources to honor its obligations. The Adviser considers the credit worthiness of each counterparty to a contract in evaluating potential credit risk. All of the Fund’s written and

purchased options are held with one counterparty. Written and purchased option contracts sold on an exchange have minimal counterparty risk; the exchange’s clearinghouse guarantees the options against counterparty nonperformance. Over-the-counter options counterparty risk includes the risk of loss of the full amount of any net unrealized appreciation.
 
K.    Use of Estimates – The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of income and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
 
L.    Statement of Cash Flows – Pursuant to the Cash Flows topic of the Codification, the Fund qualifies for an exemption from the requirement to provide a statement of cash flows and have elected not to provide a statement of cash flows.
 
M.    Derivatives – The Fund may utilize derivative instruments such as options and other instruments with similar characteristics to the extent that they are consistent with the Fund’s respective investment objectives and limitations. The use of these instruments may involve additional investment risks, including the possibility of illiquid markets or imperfect correlation between the value of the instruments and the underlying securities. Derivatives also may create leverage which will amplify the effect of their performance on the Fund and may produce significant losses. Refer to Note 8 for further derivative disclosure.
 
The Fund writes call options with strike prices and expiration dates designed to reduce the volatility of the Fund’s investment portfolio and to earn premiums. A call option gives the holder (buyer) the right to purchase a security at a specified price (the exercise price) at any time until a certain date (the expiration date). The Fund will use cash or U.S. Treasury securities to cover the written call options. The Fund may utilize put options to lower the overall volatility of the Fund’s investment portfolio, to “hedge” or limit the exposure of the Fund’s position. The Fund will also invest in U.S. Treasury securities.
 
The Fund has adopted authoritative standards regarding disclosure about derivatives and hedging activities and how they affect the Fund’s Statement of Assets and Liabilities and Statement of Operations. For the year ended April 30, 2023, the Fund’s monthly average quantity and notional value are described below:

Effective August 23, 2022, the Trust has an agreement with Lido Advisors, LLC (the “Adviser”) to furnish investment advisory services to the Fund. Pursuant to an Investment Advisory Agreement between the Trust and the Adviser, the Adviser is entitled to receive, on a monthly basis, an annual advisory fee equal to 1.00% of the Fund’s average daily net assets.

expenses) do not exceed 1.50% of each class’ average daily net asset value. The Adviser may request recoupment of previously waived fees and reimbursed Fund expenses from the Fund for three years from the date they were waived or reimbursed, provided that, after payment of the recoupment, the Total Annual Fund Operating Expenses do not exceed the lesser of the Expense Cap: (i) in effect at the time of the waiver or reimbursement; or (ii) in effect at the time of recoupment. The Operating Expenses Limitation Agreement is intended to be continual in nature and cannot be terminated within a year after the effective date of the Fund’s prospectus and subject thereafter to termination at any time upon 60 days written notice and approval by the Trust’s Board or the Adviser, with consent of the Board.
 
Prior to August 23, 2022, Oakhurst Advisors, LLC served as investment adviser to the Fund. The Investment Advisory Agreement between the Trust and Oakhurst Advisors, LLC was substantially similar in terms and services to the current agreement. During the year ended April 30, 2023, all previously waived expenses of $35,779 were recouped while the Fund was advised by Oakhurst Advisors, LLC.
 
U.S. Bancorp Fund Services, LLC, doing business as U.S. Bank Global Fund Services (“Fund Services” or the “Administrator”) acts as the Fund’s Administrator, transfer agent, and fund accountant. U.S. Bank N.A. (the “Custodian”) serves as the custodian to the Fund. The Custodian is an affiliate of the Administrator. The Administrator performs various administrative and accounting services for the Fund. The Administrator prepares various federal and state regulatory filings, reports and returns for the Fund; prepares reports and materials to be supplied to the Trustees; monitors the activities of the Fund’s custodian; coordinates the payment of the Fund’s expenses and reviews the Fund’s expense accruals. The officers of the Trust, including the Chief Compliance Officer, are employees of the Administrator. A trustee of the Trust is an officer of the Administrator. As compensation for its services, the Administrator is entitled to a monthly fee at an annual rate based upon the average daily net assets of the Fund, subject to annual minimums. Fees paid by the Fund for administration and accounting, transfer agency, custody and compliance services for the year ended April 30, 2023 are disclosed in the Statement of Operations.
 
Quasar Distributors, LLC is the Fund’s distributor (the “Distributor”). The Distributor is not affiliated with the Adviser, Fund Services, or its affiliated companies.
 
4.  TAX FOOTNOTE
 
Federal Income Taxes – The Fund intends to comply with the requirements of Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, necessary to qualify as a regulated investment company and distributes substantially all net taxable investment income and net realized gains to shareholders in a manner which results in no tax cost to the Fund. Therefore, no federal income or excise tax provision is required. As of and during the year ended April 30, 2023, the Fund did not have any tax positions that did not meet the “more-likely-than-not” threshold of being sustained by the applicable tax authority and did not have liabilities for any unrecognized tax benefits. The Fund recognizes interest and penalties, if any, related to unrecognized tax benefits on uncertain tax positions as income tax expense in the Statement of Operations. The Fund is subject to examination by taxing authorities for the tax period since April 30, 2019.

Straddle loss deferral is a temporary book to tax difference.

As of April 30, 2023, the Fund had short-term capital loss carryovers of $1,644,022 and long-term carryovers of $63,572 which will be permitted to be carried over for an unlimited period of time.
 
A regulated investment company may elect for any taxable year to treat any portion of any qualified late year loss as arising on the first day of the next taxable year. Qualified late year losses are certain capital, and ordinary losses which occur during the portion of the Fund’s taxable period subsequent to October 31 and December 31, respectively. For the taxable year ended April 30, 2023, the Fund does not plan to defer any qualified late year losses.
 
Distributions to Shareholders – The Fund distributes substantially all net investment income, if any, and net realized capital gains, if any, annually. Distributions to shareholders are recorded on the ex-dividend date. The treatment for financial reporting purposes of distributions made to shareholders during the period from net investment income or net realized capital gains may differ from their treatment for federal income tax purposes. These differences are caused primarily by differences in the timing of the recognition of certain components of income, expense or realized capital gain for federal income tax purposes. Where such differences are permanent in nature, GAAP requires that they be reclassified in the components of the net assets based on their ultimate characterization for federal income tax purposes. Any such reclassifications will have no effect on net assets, results of operations or net asset values per share of the Fund.
 
For the year ended April 30, 2023, the Fund did not have any reclassifications to the components of net assets for federal income tax purposes.
 
The tax character of distributions paid for the years ended April 30, 2023 and April 30, 2022, are as follows:
 
 
Ordinary Income Total*
 
Long-Term Capital Gain
 
Total Distributions Paid
4/30/2023
$4,372,306
 
$   262,448
 
$4,634,754
4/30/2022
$4,354,133
 
$1,409,420
 
$5,763,553
 
*
For federal income tax purposes, distributions of short-term capital gains are treated as ordinary income distributions.
 
5.  DISTRIBUTION & SHAREHOLDER SERVICING FEES
 
The Fund has adopted a Distribution Plan pursuant to Rule 12b-1 (the “Plan”) for the Advisor Class. The Plan permits the Fund to pay for distribution and related expenses at an annual rate of 0.25% average daily net assets of the Advisor Class. The expenses covered by the Plan may include the cost of preparing and distributing prospectuses and
 
21

 
OAKHURST STRATEGIC DEFINED RISK FUND

 
Notes to the Financial Statements – Continued
April 30, 2023

other sales material, advertising and public relations expenses, payments to financial intermediaries and compensation of personnel involved in selling shares of the Fund. Payments made pursuant to the Plan will represent reimbursement for distribution and service activities.
 
In addition, pursuant to a Shareholder Service Plan (the “Shareholder Servicing Plan”) adopted by the Trust on behalf of the Fund, the Advisor is authorized to engage financial institutions, securities dealers and other industry professionals (“Shareholder Servicing Agent”) to provide personal shareholder services relating to the servicing and maintenance of shareholder accounts not otherwise provided to the Fund. Payments made pursuant to the Shareholder Servicing Plan shall not exceed 0.10% of the average daily net asset value of the Institutional Class or the Advisor Class. For the year ended April 30, 2023, the Institutional Class incurred expenses of $92,301 to the plan. As of April 30, 2023, the Advisor Class were not available for purchase. Payments made under the Shareholder Servicing Plan shall be used to compensate Shareholder Servicing Agents for providing general shareholder liaison services, including, but not limited to: (i) answering inquiries from shareholders regarding account status and history, the manner in which purchases and redemptions of the Fund shares may be effected, and other matters pertaining to the Fund; (ii) assisting shareholders in designating and changing dividend options, account designations and addresses; (iii) arranging for wiring of funds and transmitting and receiving funds in connection with orders to purchase or redeem Fund shares; (iv) verifying and guaranteeing shareholder signatures in connection with orders to purchase or redeem Fund shares; (v) providing such other similar services related to the maintenance of shareholder accounts; and (vi) providing necessary personnel and facilities to conduct the activities described above.
 
6.  INVESTMENT TRANSACTIONS

Purchases
Sales
 
U.S. Government
$16,288,906
$15,796,653
 
Other

$39,896,056
 
 
7.  BENEFICIAL OWNERSHIP
 
The beneficial ownership, either directly or indirectly, of more than 25% of the voting securities of a fund creates a presumption of control of the fund, under Section 2(a)(9) of the Investment Company Act of 1940. As of April 30, 2023, National Financial Services, for the benefit of its customers, owned 85.33% of the outstanding shares of the Fund.
 
8.  OFFSETTING ASSETS AND LIABILITIES
 
The Fund is subject to various Master Netting Arrangements, which govern the terms of certain transactions with select counterparties. The Master Netting Arrangements allow the Fund to close out and net its total exposure to a counterparty in the event of a default with respect to all the transactions governed under a single agreement with a counterparty. The Master Netting Arrangements also specify collateral posting arrangements at pre-arranged exposure levels. Under the Master Netting Arrangements, collateral is routinely transferred if the total net exposure to certain transactions (net of existing collateral already in place) governed under the relevant Master Netting Arrangement with a counterparty in a given account exceeds a specified threshold depending on the counterparty and the type of Master Netting Arrangement. Interactive Brokers is the prime broker for the Fund’s exchange traded derivatives. Refer to Note 2 M. for further derivative disclosure.

9.  RECENT MARKET EVENTS RISK
 
One or more markets in which the Fund invests may go down in value, including the possibility that the markets will go down sharply and unpredictably. This may be due to numerous factors, including interest rates, the outlook for corporate profits, the health of the national and world economies, national and world social and political events, and the fluctuation of other stock markets around the world. The global pandemic outbreak of an infectious respiratory illness caused by a novel coronavirus known as COVID-19 and subsequent efforts to contain its spread have resulted and may continue to result in, among other things, substantial market volatility and reduced liquidity in financial markets; exchange trading suspensions and closures; higher default rates; travel restrictions and disruptions; significant global disruptions to business operations and supply chains; lower consumer demand for goods and services; significant job losses and increasing unemployment; event and service cancellations and restrictions; significant challenges in healthcare service preparation and delivery; prolonged quarantines; and general concern and uncertainty. The impact of this pandemic and any other public health emergencies (such as any other epidemics or pandemics) that may arise in the future could adversely affect the economies of many nations or the entire global economy and the financial performance of the individual issuers, sectors, industries, asset classes, and markets in significant and unforeseen ways.
 
10.  SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
 
Management has evaluated events and transactions for potential recognition or disclosure through the date the financial statements were issued and has determined that no additional items require recognition or disclosure.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

To the Shareholders of Oakhurst Strategic Defined Risk Fund and
Board of Trustees of Series Portfolios Trust
 
Opinion on the Financial Statements
 
We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities, including the schedules of investments and written options, of Oakhurst Strategic Defined Risk Fund (the “Fund”), a series of Series Portfolios Trust, as of April 30, 2023, the related statement of operations for the year then ended, the statements of changes in net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended, the related notes, and the financial highlights for each of the five years in the period then ended (collectively referred to as the “financial statements”). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Fund as of April 30, 2023, the results of its operations for the year then ended, the changes in net assets for each of the two years in period then ended, and the financial highlights for each of the five years in the period then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
 
Basis for Opinion
 
These financial statements are the responsibility of the Fund’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Fund’s financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (“PCAOB”) and are required to be independent with respect to the Fund in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
 
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud.
 
Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures include examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of April 30, 2023, by correspondence with the custodian and brokers. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
 
We have served as the Fund’s auditor since 2017.

Item 3. Audit Committee Financial Expert.

The registrant’s board of trustees has determined that there is at least one audit committee financial expert serving on its audit committee.  Debra McGinty-Poteet is the “audit committee financial expert” and is considered to be “independent” as each term is defined in Item 3 of Form N CSR.

Item 4. Principal Accountant Fees and Services.

The registrant has engaged its principal accountant to perform audit services, audit-related services, tax services and other services during the past two fiscal years.  “Audit services” refer to performing an audit of the registrant's annual financial statements or services that are normally provided by the accountant in connection with statutory and regulatory filings or engagements for the past fiscal year.  “Audit-related services” refer to the assurance and related services by the principal accountant that are reasonably related to the performance of the audit.  “Tax services” refer to professional services rendered by the principal accountant for tax compliance, tax advice, and tax planning; including reviewing the Fund’s tax returns and distribution calculations. There were no “other services” provided by the principal accountant.  For the fiscal years ended April 30, 2023 and April 30, 2022, the Fund’s principal accountant was Cohen & Company, Ltd.  The following table details the aggregate fees billed or expected to be billed for the last two fiscal years for audit fees, audit-related fees, tax fees and other fees by the principal accountant.

The audit committee has adopted pre-approval policies and procedures that require the audit committee to pre‑approve all audit and non‑audit services of the registrant, including services provided to any entity affiliated with the registrant.

The percentage of fees billed by Cohen & Company, Ltd. applicable to non-audit services pursuant to waiver of pre-approval requirement were as follows:

All of the principal accountant’s hours spent on auditing the registrant’s financial statements were attributed to work performed by full‑time permanent employees of the principal accountant.

The following table indicates the non-audit fees billed or expected to be billed by the registrant’s accountant for services to the registrant and to the registrant’s investment adviser (and any other controlling entity, etc.—not sub-adviser) for the last fiscal year.  The audit committee of the board of trustees has considered whether the provision of non-audit services that were rendered to the registrant's investment adviser is compatible with maintaining the principal accountant's independence and has concluded that the provision of such non-audit services by the accountant has not compromised the accountant’s independence.
