ANNUAL REPORT TO SHAREHOLDERS
January 26, 2022
Dear Shareholder:
We are pleased to provide you with this annual report on the investment strategies and performance of the funds in the James Alpha Funds Trust d/b/a Easterly Funds Trust (the “Trust”). This report covers the twelve months from December 1, 2020 through November 30, 2021.
We believe that successful investing requires discipline and patience. Try to stay focused on your long-term investment goals. Don’t let short-term stock and bond market fluctuations or investment manias change your long-term investment strategy. In our opinion, the Easterly Funds are managed by some of the world’s leading institutional investment advisory firms. It is our belief that combining the strength of the Trust’s performance with a well-designed asset allocation plan can help you to achieve your long-term investment goals.
ECONOMIC OVERVIEW
As measured by Real Gross Domestic Product (GDP), the value of the production of goods and services in the United States increased by an annualized growth rate (AGR) of 4.9% during the third quarter of 2021, a significant growth rate driven by technical ‘base effects’ from Q3 2020. The primary driver of strong performance in the markets in the past 12 months has been the continued recovery in the post-Covid world. Successful vaccination programs, continued support from both monetary and fiscal sources, and consumers who are ready to spend have all supported a robust recovery. New Home Sales were down from their cycle high (around 1 million) to an annualized 744 thousand units in November 2021, still far above average from the past decade. The auto industry suffered a massive decline in sales during the first half of 2020, experienced a cycle high in April 2021 (where an annualized 18.5 million auto sales occurred; a five year high), but has been on a decline each month since. The unemployment rate declined from 14.7% in April 2020 to 4.2% in November 2021. The unemployment claims is an important leading indicator in our work, specifically the 4-week sum of weekly Initial Claims data. That number has dropped to 879 thousand from a pandemic peak of over 21 million claims. For perspective, the historic average from 1967 to present is about 1.5 million. The overall economy in 2021 could be characterized as a ‘boom’ economy, with expanding equity valuations, rising interest rates, and shortages of good and services across the economy driven by robust consumer demand and lingering supply chain issues that have been morphing since the beginning of the pandemic. This market has been largely controlled by the Federal Reserve, who have signaled their commitment to support economic demand through extremely easy monetary policy and continued massive liquidity injections. The Fed’s language around inflation in the past year has meaningfully changed from an absolute target to an inflation averaging target where they have let inflation run hot (above target) in order to achieve a long-term average of their target of 2%. The Fed continues to sustain historic emergency measures even with the strong economic backdrop.
Monetary Policy: The Federal Reserve has remained extraordinarily accommodative since the beginning of the pandemic, but with falling unemployment, strong demand, and persistently high inflation, the tone at the Fed has begun to shift towards reining in their emergency measures. In its most recent FOMC statement, the Committee stated that they “should be prepared to adjust the pace of asset purchases and raise the target range of the federal funds rate sooner than participants currently anticipated if inflation continued to run higher than levels consistent with the Committee’s objectives”. They also said they would “not hesitate to take appropriate actions to address inflation pressures that posed risks to its longer-run price stability and employment objectives”. This constitutes a major pivot as the median forecast now shows balance sheet tapering finishing in March 2022 (previous forecast was for summer of 2022). In
1
terms of the benchmark Fed Funds rate, the Committee’s updated projection (i.e., the Dot Plot) signaled that rate hikes may come sooner than expected with the median forecast showing one rate hike in 2022 and three more hikes in 2023. Market participants / traders are pricing in three rate hikes over the next twelve months.
Interest Rates: Treasury yields bottomed in August 2020 and have generally increased ever since, although the rise has been volatile. In the twelve months since the end of November 2020, the yield curve has steepened with the 5-year treasury rate moving from 0.36% to 1.16%, the 10-year rate going from 0.84% to 1.44%, and the 30-year rate going from 1.57% to 1.79%. Ultra-short-term rates are largely unchanged; however, there has been a sizeable tick up in the 2-year rate (from 0.15% to 0.57%). With the Fed setting the stage for tapering their asset purchases (and raising the Fed Funds rate soon thereafter), we believe the environment is supportive of rates and yields will remain steady to higher over the next 12 months.
Equity Valuations: Equity markets have rebounded strongly off the pandemic lows with the S&P 500 up 27.9% since the end of November 2020. During 2021, the S&P 500 achieved a new record high close on 67 separate trading sessions with a maximum drawdown of only 5.2%. Depending on the metric, valuations range anywhere from fairly valued to strongly overvalued. As an example, Warren Buffett’s favorite indicator is the ratio of total equity market cap to GDP (termed “the Buffett Indicator”) is near a record high level of 202% with the previous record high of 143% set in March 2000, indicating the market is strongly overvalued. However, the S&P 500 is currently trading at a forward P/E ratio of approximately 22.2 times, which is only modestly above its 30-year average of 21.2 times.
Inflation: Inflation, as measured by the consumer price index (CPI) was up 6.81% y-o-y in November 2021, a rate not seen since the early 1980’s. For the last year and a half, the Fed’s objective has been to run the economy hot through ultra-easy monetary policy with the intention of spurring inflation above their target to achieve a long-term average of 2%. Inflation data has come in much higher than forecast throughout 2021, which the Fed has called ‘transitory’ due to shortages and supply chain issues. Recently, they have stopped using the term ‘transitory’ with Powell now calling inflation pressures ‘frustrating’, a possible signal of future monetary tightening if inflation persists above forecast into next year.
COMPARING THE FUND PERFORMANCE TO BENCHMARKS
When reviewing the performance of the funds against their benchmarks, it is important to note that the Trust is designed to help investors to implement an asset allocation strategy to meet their individual needs as well as select individual investments within each asset category among the myriad of choices available. Each Easterly Fund was formed to represent an asset class, and each portfolio’s institutional money manager was selected based on their experience managing money within that class.
Therefore, we believe that Easterly Funds may be able to help investors to properly implement their asset allocation decisions and keep their investments within the risk parameters that they establish with their investment consultants. We feel that without the intended asset class consistency of the Easterly Funds, even the most carefully crafted allocation strategy could be negated. Furthermore, we believe the benchmarks do not necessarily provide precise standards against which to measure the portfolios, in that the characteristics of the benchmarks can vary widely at different points in time from the Easterly Funds (e.g., characteristics such as: average market capitalizations, price-to-earnings and price-to-book ratios, bond quality ratings and maturities, etc.). In addition, the benchmarks can potentially have a survivor bias built into them (i.e., the performance of only funds that are still in existence may remain part of the benchmark’s performance while funds that do not exist anymore may be removed from the benchmark’s performance).

The Goldman Sachs Intraday Momentum ES Series 1 Excess Return Strategy aims to capture intraday trend risk premium on the S&P 500. There is empirical evidence that the returns in the earlier part of the day tend to continue in the same direction in the subsequent part of the day, across several markets, including equities. The strategy attempts to monetize this historical tendency for intraday trends from the previous close to extend unto the following close: 1) Every day after the open, the strategy buys futures if markets are rising since the previous close; conversely, it sells futures if markets are falling since previous close. 2) The strategy monitors market moves every 30-minutes to reactively modify its positioning if a new trend appears. 3) All positions are exited at the close. The number of shares is 8,295 and requires the fund to pay interest at the rate of 0.20% on the Notional Value outstanding. The swap became effective on August 2, 2021 and expires on February 4, 2022. (Notional Value $941,817) | $ | (1,285 | ) | |

The strategy sells 3m 15d puts and buys 3m 40d calls (delta and gamma hedged) that target a constant exposure to skew, with performance driven by Vanna. The strategy also buys 5d tail puts for added risk management. The number of shares is 6,979 and requires the fund to pay interest at the rate of 0.20% on the Notional Value outstanding. The swap became effective on August 30, 2021 and expires on February 4, 2022. (Notional Value $995,792) | $ | — | ||

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS |
Year Ended November 30, 2021 |
1. | ORGANIZATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES |
James Alpha Fund Trust dba Easterly Funds Trust (the “Trust”) was organized in 2020, as a Delaware Statutory Trust and is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, as an open-end management investment company. The Trust currently consists of nine series. These financial statements include the following three series:
New Fund Name Effective August 23, 2021 | Formerly Known As Prior to August 23, 2021 | |
Easterly EHS Fund | James Alpha EHS Fund | |
Easterly Total Hedge Portfolio | James Alpha Total Hedge Portfolio | |
Easterly Structured Credit Value Fund | James Alpha Structured Credit Value Fund |
The Easterly EHS Fund, Easterly Total Hedge Portfolio and Easterly Structured Credit Value Fund are diversified funds.
Easterly Funds LLC serves as the Funds’ Advisor. Orange Investment Advisors LLC serves as Easterly Structured Credit Value Fund’s Sub-Advisor.
The James Alpha EHS Portfolio, the James Alpha Total Hedge Portfolio and the James Alpha Structured Credit Value Portfolio (each an “Existing Fund”) were reorganized on March 19, 2021, from a series of The Saratoga Advantage Trust, a Delaware statutory trust, to a series of the Trust, into the Easterly EHS Fund, Easterly Total Hedge Portfolio and Easterly Structured Credit Value Fund (each a “Survivor Fund”). As a series of the Trust, Class I and Class S of the Existing Funds converted to Class I and Class R6 of the Surviving Funds, respectively. Class A and Class C for all Existing Funds except James Alpha Structured Credit Value Portfolio converted to Class I of the Surviving Fund. Easterly Structured Credit Value Fund is a continuation of the predecessor for Class A and Class C. Each Existing Fund and its corresponding Survivor Fund have the same investment objective, principal investment strategies. The details of this re-organization are shown below.
