Beginning on January 1, 2021, as permitted by regulations adopted by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, paper copies of the Fund’s shareholder reports will no longer be sent by mail, unless you specifically request paper copies of the reports from the Fund (or from your financial intermediary, such as a broker-dealer or bank). Instead, the reports will be made available on the Fund’s website www.northcapital.com/northcapitalfunds. You will be notified by mail each time a report is posted and provided with a website link to access the report.

 

If you already elected to receive shareholder reports electronically, you will not be affected by this change and you need not take any action. You may elect to receive shareholder reports and other communications from the Fund electronically anytime by contacting the financial intermediary (such as a broker-dealer or bank) through which you hold your Fund shares or, if you are a direct shareholder, by calling 1-833-262-3863.

 

You may elect to receive all future reports in paper free of charge. If you invest through a financial intermediary, you can contact your financial intermediary to request that you continue to receive paper copies of your shareholder reports. If you invest directly with the Fund, you can call 1-833-262-3863 to let the Fund know you wish to continue receiving paper copies of your shareholder reports. Your election to receive reports in paper will apply to all Funds held in your account if you invest through your financial intermediary or all Funds held with the fund complex if you invest directly with the Fund.

Expense Example (unaudited)

 

As a shareholder of the North Capital Treasury Money Market Fund, you incur ongoing costs including investment advisory fees and other expenses. The example is intended to help you understand your 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 in a fund at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period from November 1, 2019 to April 30, 2020.

 

Actual Expenses

 

Two lines are presented in the table below - the first line provides information about the actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this table, 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” for your fund to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.

 

Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes

 

The second line provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the fund’s actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the fund’s actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the fund and other mutual funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other mutual funds.

 

Please note that the expenses shown in the tables are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transactional costs, as described above. Therefore, the second line of the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transactional costs were included, your costs would have been higher.

1 Expenses are equal to the fund’s annualized expense ratio for the period November 1, 2019 through April 30, 2020 of 0.39%, multiplied by the average account value over the period, multiplied by 182/366 (to reflect the six-month period).

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

 

To the Board of Trustees and

 

Shareholders of North Capital Treasury Money Market Fund

 

Opinion on the Financial Statements

 

We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities, including the schedule of investments, of North Capital Treasury Money Market Fund (the “Fund”) as of April 30, 2020, and the related statement of operations, statement of changes in net assets, and financial highlights for the period from July 17, 2019 (commencement of operations) through April 30, 2020, and the related notes (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, 2020, and the results of its operations for the period from July 17, 2019 (commencement of operations) through April 30, 2020, 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. The Fund is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audits, we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Fund’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.

 

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 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.

 

Critical Audit Matters

 

Critical audit matters are matters arising from the current period audit of the financial statements that were communicated or required to be communicated to the audit committee and that (1) relate to accounts or disclosures that are material to the financial statements and (2) involved our especially challenging, subjective, or complex judgments. We determined that there were no critical audit matters.

 

 

 

We have served as the Fund’s auditor since 2019.

North Capital Funds Trust – North Capital Treasury Money Market Fund

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

April 30, 2020

 


1. Organization

 

The North Capital Treasury Money Market Fund (the “Fund”), is a series of North Capital Funds Trust, a Delaware statutory trust organized on December 10, 2018 (the “Trust”). The Fund commenced operations on July 17, 2019. The Fund offers Institutional Class Shares. The Fund operates as a “diversified” fund, as such term is defined under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”). The investment objective of the Fund is to maximize current income to the extent consistent with the preservation of capital and the maintenance of liquidity. The Trust is registered as an open-end management investment company. The Trust is governed by its Board of Trustees (the “Board” or “Trustees”). The investment adviser to the Fund is North Capital, Inc. (the “Adviser”).

 

Each share of the Fund represents an equal proportionate interest in the assets and liabilities belonging to the Fund with each other share of the Fund and is entitled to such dividends and distributions out of income belonging to the Fund as are declared by the Trustees. All shares of the Fund have equal voting rights and liquidation rights.

 


2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

 

The following is a summary of significant accounting policies consistently followed by the Fund in the preparation of its financial statements. The accompanying financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) and are stated in U.S. dollars. 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 Topic 946 “Financial Services – Investment Companies and Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2013-08.

 

(a)    Calculation of Net Asset Value Per Share

 

The net asset value per share (“NAV”) is calculated by dividing the Fund’s net assets (assets minus liabilities) by the number of shares outstanding.

 

(b) Investment Valuation

 

Investments are valued using the amortized cost method of valuation in an effort to maintain a constant net asset value of $1.00 per share, which the Board has determined to be in the best interest of the Fund and its shareholders. This method involves valuing a security at cost on the date of acquisition and thereafter assuming a constant accretion of a discount or amortization of a premium to maturity, regardless of the impact of fluctuating interest rates and other factors on the market value of the instrument. While this method provides certainty in valuation, it may result in periods during which value, as determined by amortized cost, is higher or lower than the price the Fund would receive if it sold the instrument. During such periods, the yield to an investor in the Fund may differ somewhat from that obtained in a similar investment company which uses available market quotations to value all its portfolio securities.

 

GAAP requires disclosures regarding the inputs and valuation techniques used to measure fair value and any changes in valuation inputs or technique. These principles establish a three-tier fair value hierarchy for inputs used in measuring fair value. Fair value inputs are summarized in the three broad levels listed below:

 

Level 1 – Quoted prices in active markets for identical securities.

 

Level 2 – Other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar securities with similar interest rates, credit risk, etc.). Also includes securities valued at amortized cost.

 

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

 

The availability of observable inputs can vary from security to security and its effected 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 judgement. Accordingly, the degree of judgement 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 fair value levels are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in these securities. As of April 30, 2020, the Fund’s investments were classified as follows:

 

                            Total  
    Level 1     Level 2           Level 3     Fair Value  
U.S. Treasury Debt   $     $ 53,990     $           $ 53,990  
Total Investments   $     $ 53,990     $           $ 53,990  

 

Refer to the Fund’s Schedule of Investments for further security classification.

 

9

 

During the period from July 17, 2019 (commencement of operations) through April 30, 2020, there were no transfers between fair value levels, and the Fund’s portfolio did not hold any securities deemed to be Level 3.

 

(c) Use of Estimates

 

The preparation of the 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 increases and decreases in net assets from operations during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

 

(d) Security Transactions and Investment Income

 

For financial statement purposes, the Fund records security transactions on the trade date of the security purchase or sale. Interest income, including amortization, is recorded on an accrual basis. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date, or as soon as information is available to the Fund. Distributions to shareholders, which are determined in accordance with income tax regulations, are also recorded on the ex-dividend date.

 

(e) Cash and Cash Equivalents

 

The Funds consider 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 Schedules of Investments as well as in investments of the Statements of Assets and Liabilities.

 

(f) Federal Income Taxes

 

The Fund intends to qualify as a “regulated investment company” under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended. If so qualified, the Fund will not be subject to federal income tax to the extent it distributes substantially all of its net investment income and capital gains to shareholders. Therefore, no federal income tax provision is required.

 

As of April 30, 2020 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. Generally, tax authorities can examine all tax returns filed for the last three years.

 

Net investment income and net realized gains (losses) may differ for financial statement and tax purposes because of temporary or permanent book-to-tax differences. To the extent these differences are permanent, reclassifications are made to the appropriate equity accounts in the period in which the differences arise.

 

As of and during the period from July 17, 2020 (commencement of operations) through April 30, 2020, the Fund did not have a liability for any unrecognized tax benefits in the accompanying financial statements. The Fund files income tax returns in the U.S. federal jurisdiction and Delaware.

 

The Fund follows ACS 740 “Income Taxes”, which requires that the financial statements effects of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return be recognized in the financial statements when it is more likely than not, based on the technical merits, that the position will be sustained upon examination. Management has concluded that the Fund has taken no uncertain tax positions that require adjustment to the financial statements.

 

(g) Distribution to Shareholders

 

As a government money market fund, the Fund’s distributions are expected to consist primarily of income dividends, and income dividends will be declared daily and distributed monthly.

 

The character of distributions made during the year from net investment income or net realized gains may differ from its ultimate characterization for federal income tax purposes. In addition, due to the timing of dividend distributions, the fiscal period in which the amounts are distributed may differ from the period that the income or realized gains were recorded by the Fund.

 

The distributions paid during the fiscal period from July 17, 2019 (commencement of operations) through April 30, 2020 (adjusted by dividends payable as of April 30, 2020) were as follows:

 

Ordinary Income                                   $472

 

The Fund also designates as distributions of long-term gains, to the extent necessary to fully distribute such capital gains, earnings and profits distributed to shareholders on the redemption of shares. There were no long-term gains for the period from July 17, 2019 (commencement of operations) through April 30, 2020.

 

(h) Indemnifications

 

The Fund enters into contracts that contain a variety of indemnifications. The Fund’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as it would be dependent upon future claims that may be made against the Fund. However, the Fund has not had prior claims or losses pursuant to these contracts and expects the risk of loss to be remote.

3. Agreements

 

(a)        Management Agreement, Operating Expenses Limitation Agreement and Transactions with Related Parties

 

Under the terms of the Management Agreement between the Trust, on behalf of the Fund, and the Adviser (the “Management Agreement”), the Adviser, subject to the supervision of the Board, provides or arranges to be provided to the Fund such investment advice as its deems advisable and will furnish or arrange to be furnished a continuous investment program for the Fund consistent with the Fund’s investment objective and policies. The monthly compensation paid to the Adviser is accrued daily at an annual rate of 0.25% on the average daily net assets of the Fund.

 

Effective April 6, 2020, the Adviser voluntarily agreed to further waive or reimburse certain fees and expenses as needed in order to maintain a zero or positive yield for the Fund.

 

As of April 30, 2020, the Adviser beneficially owned 94.36% of the outstanding shares of the Fund.

 

In the interest of limiting the expenses of the Fund, the Adviser has entered into a contractual operating expense limitation agreement. Pursuant to the Operating Expenses Limitation Agreement, the Adviser has agreed to waive or limit its fees and assume other expenses of the Fund (excluding (i) any front-end or contingent deferred loads; (ii) brokerage fees and commissions; (iii) acquired fund fees and expenses; (iv) fees and expenses associated with investments in other collective investment vehicles or derivative instruments (including for example option and swap fees and expenses); (v) borrowing costs (such as interest and dividend expense on securities sold short); (vi) taxes; (vii) extraordinary expenses such as litigation expenses (which may include indemnification of Fund officers and Trustees, and contractual indemnification of Fund service providers, including the Adviser)) not incurred in the ordinary course of business so that the Fund’s ratio of total annual operating expenses, expresses as a percentage of a share classes’ average daily net assets, is limited to 0.45% (the “Operating Expense Limitation”). The Adviser retains its right to receive reimbursement of any excess expense payments paid by it pursuant to the Operating Expenses Limitation Agreement for 3 years from the date on which the waiver or reimbursement occurs if such reimbursement can be achieved within the lesser of the Operating Expense Limitation or the expense limits in place at the time of recoupment. The Adviser’s right to receive such reimbursement shall survive the termination of either the Operating Expenses Limitation Agreement or the Management Agreement.

 

The following table shows the remaining waived expenses subject to potential recovery expiring:

 

April 2023                 $177,109

 

(b)        Administrator, Custodian and Transfer Agent

 

The custodian to the Trust is U.S. Bank, N.A. The administrator and transfer agent to the Trust is U.S. Bancorp Fund Services, LLC, an affiliate of U.S. Bank, N.A.

 


4. Organization and Offering Costs

 

Organization costs consist of costs incurred to establish the Fund and enable it legally to do business. The Fund expenses organization costs as incurred. Offering costs include state registration fees and legal fees regarding the preparation of the initial registration statement. Offering costs are accounted for as deferred costs until operations begin. Offering costs are then amortized to expense over twelve months on a straight-line basis. These organization and offering expenses will be advanced by the Adviser and the Adviser has agreed to reimburse the Fund for these expenses, subject to potential recovery (see Note 3). Organization costs which are subject to reimbursement by the Adviser are presented in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities as a receivable from Adviser. The total amount of the organization costs and offering costs incurred by the Fund for the period from July 17, 2019 (commencement of operations) through April 30, 2020 was $19,131 and $7,187, respectively.

 


5. Principal Risks

 

The Fund in the normal course of business make investments in financial instruments where there is risk of potential loss. There can be no assurance that the Fund will achieve its investment objective.

 


6. Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

 

In August 2018, FASB issued ASU 2018-13, Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820): Disclosure Framework—Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurement (“ASU 2018-13”). The primary focus of ASU 2018-13 is to improve the effectiveness of the disclosure requirements for fair value measurements. The changes affect all companies that are required to include fair value measurement disclosures. In general, the amendments in ASU 2018-13 are effective for all entities for fiscal years and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2019. An entity is permitted to early adopt the removed or modified disclosures upon the issuance of ASU 2018-13 and may delay adoption of the additional disclosures, which are required for public companies only, until their effective date. Management has implemented these changes on the North Capital Funds Trust financial statements and disclosures.

 


7. Subsequent Events

 

Management has evaluated Fund related events and transactions that occurred subsequent to April 30, 2020, through the date of issuance of the Fund’s financial statements. There were no events or transactions that occurred during this period that materially impacted the amounts or disclosures in the Fund’s financial statements.

 

11

 

The Adviser is currently evaluating the recent introduction of the COVID-19 virus and its impact on the financial services industry and has concluded that while it is reasonably possible that the virus could have a negative effect on the fair value of the Fund’s investments and results of its operations, the specific impact is not readily determinable as of the date of these financial statements. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

Notice to Shareholders - April 30, 2020 (unaudited)

 

Tax Information
