2 Management Discussion of Fund Performance Investment Objective and Strategies The investment objective of the Sprott Short-Term Bond Fund (the Fund ) is to provide regular income while preserving capital and maintaining liquidity through investing primarily in short-term debt securities issued by Canadian federal, provincial and municipal governments as well as corporate issuers. To achieve the Fund s investment objective, the Fund will employ investment strategies based upon economic research, quantitative and technical analysis, the analysis of credit quality pertaining to prospective investments and establishing an evolving asset allocation containing government and corporate bonds. The Fund may invest a portion of its assets in short-term debt securities of foreign issuers. As part of its investment strategy, the Fund may engage in short selling as permitted by applicable securities legislation. Risk The risks of investing in the Fund are described in the Fund s simplified prospectus. The Fund is suitable for those investors who seek exposure to short-term high quality fixed income securities issued primarily by Canadian governments and companies. The Fund is suitable for investors with a low risk tolerance and a short-term investment horizon. There were no significant changes to the investment objective and strategies that affected the Fund s overall level of risk during the reporting period. Results of Operations and Recent Developments The Fund, Series A, returned 0.3% during the first six months of, compared to a 0.3% return for the Government of Canada 12 Month T- Bill index for the same period. The U.S. Federal Reserve Board raised interest rates in March and June, establishing an acceleration in the normalization of monetary policy. The Bank of Canada's ("BoC") speeches in June signaled a more aggressive attitude towards monetary policy. The Fund's structure remained steady through the volatility, with an overweight exposure to short-term corporate investment grade bonds compared to government bonds. Duration was the main contributor to the Fund's performance. An increase in short-term rates at the end of June, influenced by BoC speeches, also contributed to the Fund's performance, and credit spreads remained positive. Individual contributors included Bruce Power L.P. (2.844%, 06/23/21), Bank of Montreal (3.40%, 04/23/21) and Canadian Western Bank (2.788%, 09/13/21). Individual detractors from the Fund's performance included Canadian Natural Resources Ltd. (2.05%, 06/01/20), Canadian Imperial Bank of Commerce (2.35%, 06/24/19) and Loblaw Companies Limited (3.748%, 03/12/19). The Fund s net asset value decreased by 11.2% during the period, from 20.4 million as of December 31, to 18.1 million as of June 30,. This change was primarily due to net share redemption of 2.2 million. The management expense decreased compared to the prior period.

3 Related Party Transactions MANAGEMENT FEES The Fund pays a management fee to the Manager, at an annual rate of up to 0.75% for Series A units, up to 0.5% for Series F units and is negotiated by the unitholders for Series I. The management fee is calculated and accrued daily based on daily net asset value of the applicable series of the Fund, and is paid monthly. For the six-month period ended June 30,, the Fund incurred management fees of 34,350 (including taxes).

OPERATING EXPENSES The Fund pays its own operating expenses, which include, but are not limited to, audit, legal, custodial, trustee, filing and administrative expenses as well as unitholder reporting costs. The Manager pays certain of these expenses on behalf of the Fund and then is reimbursed by the Fund.

Waivers and absorption can be terminated at any time. 4 The trading expense ratio ( TER ) represents total commissions and other portfolio transaction costs expressed as an annualized percentage of daily average net asset value during the period. The TER includes dividend expense and securities borrowing expense paid by the Fund in connection with securities sold short. 5 The Fund s portfolio turnover rate indicates how actively the Fund s portfolio adviser trades its portfolio investments. A portfolio turnover rate of 100% is equivalent to the Fund buying and selling all of the securities in its portfolio once in the course of the year. The higher the Fund s portfolio turnover rate in a year, the greater the chance of an investor receiving taxable capital gains in the year. There is not necessarily a relationship between a high turnover rate and the performance of the Fund. The portfolio turnover is expressed as a non-annualized percentage.
