Re: Northern Lights Fund Trust IV, File Nos. 333-204808 and 811-23066 (“Registrant”)

Dear Mr. Lee:

On October 5, 2022, the Registrant, on behalf of its
proposed series, Inverse Cramer ETF and Long Cramer ETF (each a “Fund” and collectively, the “Funds”), filed amendments
to its registration statement under the Securities Act of 1933 on Form N-1A. In a telephone conversation on November 23, 2022, you provided
comments to the amendment. Below, please find your comments and the Registrant’s responses, which the Registrant has authorized
Thompson Hine LLP to make on its behalf. Please note that added language is in italics and deleted language appears struck through.

Prospectus

Comment 1: For each Fund, please disclose the
benchmark index supplementally.

Response: The Registrant is informed that each
Fund will use the NASDAQ-100 Total Return Index as its benchmark.

Comment 2: The Staff believes that, in light
of Jim Cramer’s lack of involvement with the Funds, the use of “Cramer” in the Funds’ names is misleading. Similarly,
the Staff believes the Funds’ ticker symbols, SJIM and LJIM, are misleading. Please revise the Funds’ names and choose other
ticker symbols. See generally, Rule 35d-1 of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”).

Response: The Registrant has given the Staff’s
position careful consideration and respectfully disagrees that the Funds’ names and ticker symbols are misleading for purposes of
the broader securities laws and, specifically, Rule 35d-1 of the 1940 Act.

The Registrant believes that the Funds’ names
are not misleading by invoking the word “Cramer.” Each Fund’s investment decisions directly depend on recommendations
made by Jim Cramer. Accordingly, it has adopted an appropriate 80% test and expects, with the exception of holding cash, to be fully invested
in securities solely discussed by Mr. Cramer. The cover page of the

prospectus
has been revised to state that Mr. Cramer is not involved in the management or operations of the Funds. Since the Funds’ portfolios
are dependent on and derive their respective portfolios from Mr. Cramer’s recommendations, including “Cramer” in the
Funds’ names clearly and unequivocally informs investors that each Fund's investments are related to Mr. Cramer’s public
statements. Moreover, its exclusion would obfuscate this critical fact. Therefore, the Registrant respectfully disagrees that a name
that indicates the single relevant factor resulting in each Fund’s investment portfolio misleads or potentially misleads investors
in the shares of either Fund.

Furthermore, Rule 35d-1(a)
identifies four categories of names that may be materially deceptive and misleading: (1) names suggesting guarantee or approval by the
United States government, (2) names suggesting investment in certain investments or industries, (3) names suggesting investment in certain
countries or geographic regions and (4) tax-exempt funds. The Funds’ investment objectives and strategies do not fall into any
of these categories.

Lastly, there are examples of registered investment
companies with names including an entity that has no affiliation with the registered investment company or its investment adviser. For
example, numerous single-stock ETFs use the name of company whose stock they are tracking even though the company has no affiliation with
the ETF and, to date, such fund names have not been found to be misleading when their prospectuses disclose that no affiliation exists.
As noted, the Registrant has enhanced the disclosure in each Fund’s prospectus to state that no such affiliation exists.

Comment 3: Please advise what, if any, approval
the Funds obtained from CNBC or Jim Cramer in connection with the Funds. Please advise whether either Fund has entered into any contractual
agreements with CNBC or Jim Cramer. If so, please attached such contracts to the Registration Statement and summarize the material terms
of such contracts in each Fund’s prospectus, including who is responsible for paying any fees under the agreements.

If no approval or agreement exists between the Funds
and either CNBC or Jim Cramer, please explain supplementally how each Fund’s strategy and disclosure comply with applicable intellectual
property laws. Please also explain why the Funds do not have any risk disclosure regarding the potential liability they face from not
having obtained permission from CNBC or Jim Cramer.

Response: The Registrant has no licensing or
other agreement between itself, on behalf of the Funds, with either CNBC or Jim Cramer and knows of no reason that such an agreement should
exist. Based on statements Mr. Cramer has publicly made, it is the Registrant’s understanding that he has knowledge of the filings
of the two Funds and he, CNBC nor any other persons or entities have informed Tuttle Capital Management LLC, each Fund’s investment
adviser (the “Adviser”), that they object to the Funds or to the Funds’ names.

To the Registrant’s knowledge, the “Cramer”
moniker is not subject to any known trademark or copyright and the Funds are fully transparent that the investment decisions are made
based on the recommendations by Cramer with full attribution to Cramer. The Registrant therefore believes that the Funds do not need permission
from either CNBC or Cramer to use the name of “Cramer”. Similarly, the Registrant does not believe that the Funds and their
shareholders are subject to any material litigation risk or potential liability from the fact that “Cramer” is in their names.
Therefore, litigation risk has not been included as a principal investment risk.

Inverse Cramer ETF

Comment 4: In the first paragraph under the
heading “Principal Investment Strategies,” (a) given the Fund’s intended inverse strategy and use of derivatives, please
confirm supplementally that the Fund will comply with Rule 18f-4 and (b) disclose in what the remaining 20% of the Fund’s portfolio
will be invested.

Response: The Registrant confirms that the
Fund will comply with Rule 18f-4. The Registrant has amended its disclosures to state the following:

Under normal circumstances, at least
80% of the Fund’s investments is invested in the inverse of securities mentioned by Cramer based on the market value of such
securities at the time of investment with the remainder of the Fund’s holdings in cash or cash equivalents.

Comment 5: In the “Principal Investment
Strategies” section of the Prospectus, please disclose the involvement, if any, of Jim Cramer in the creation, management or operations
of the Fund.

Response: The Registrant has amended its disclosures
to state the following:

The Trust, the Fund
and the adviser are not affiliated with Cramer or any of the media by which his recommendations are communicated. Cramer is not involved
in the creation, management or operations of the Fund. The adviser will not in all cases perform fundamental investment analysis of
securities bought, sold and held by the Fund as the primary factor for engaging in such transacting in such securities or related securities
is the fact that they are mentioned by Cramer.

As noted, similar
disclosure has been added to the cover page of the prospectus.

Comment 6: Please revise the statement “at
least 80% of the Fund’s investments is invested in the inverse of securities mentioned by Cramer” to state “at least
80% of the Fund’s net assets are

  Scott Lee, Esq.

invested
in the inverse of securities mentioned by Cramer” in both the summary and statutory prospectus.

Response: The Registrant refers to its response
to Comment 4.

Comment 7: Please explain whether the Fund’s
80% test is based on notional or market value of the securities mentioned by Jim Cramer. Please confirm that the Fund will be able to
comply with the 80% test given the changing nature of Jim Cramer’s picks.

Response: The Registrant refers to its response
to Comment 4. The Registrant notes that the Adviser expects all of the assets of each Fund to consist of securities mentioned by Cramer,
except for cash or short-term investments, so that each Fund would comply with its 80% test.

Comment 8: “Mad Money” airs at
6 pm Eastern and “Squawk on the Street” airs at 9 am Eastern when markets are not open. Will the portfolio manager place trades
after market hours or will the portfolio manager wait until the market opens? If the latter, will the Fund be disadvantaged by first market
movers?

Response: The Adviser has represented to the
Registrant that Cramer does not comment on foreign companies. The Registrant has further confirmed that, as noted in the Fund’s
principal investment strategy disclosures, the portfolio manager will focus primarily on Cramer’s recommendation made during the
trading day and that the timing of the trades will be at the Adviser’s discretion. The Registrant is informed that the Adviser intends
to engage in transactions as soon as reasonably practicable.

Comment 9: In connection with the disclosure
regarding the Fund’s composition of 20-25 securities, please (a) include corresponding risk disclosure for concentration risk; (b)
clarify how derivatives and ETF holdings fit into this composition; and (c) describe how many recommendations Jim Cramer makes in a typical
week. Additionally, please add corresponding risk disclosure that addresses what will happen, and what the impact to the Fund will be,
when Jim Cramer is on vacation and there are no picks for a week or longer. Separately, please disclose risk related to Cramer himself,
i.e., if he is absent for a prolonged period of time due to illness or if he loses one of his shows.

Response: The Registrant has amended its disclosures
to state the following:

The Fund’s adviser monitors
Cramer’s stock selection and overall market recommendations throughout the trading day as publicly announced on Twitter or his television
programs broadcast on CNBC, and sells those recommendations short or enters into derivatives transactions such as futures, options or
swaps that produce a negative correlation to those recommendations. The Fund goes long on stocks or

  Scott Lee, Esq.

ETFs
that represent sectors that Cramer is negative on. The Fund uses Index ETFs and inverse Index ETFs to take the opposite side of Cramer’s
announced market view. The Fund’s portfolio is comprised generally of 20 to 25 equally weighted equity securities of any market
capitalization of domestic and foreign issuers and/or ETFs if Cramer makes market or sector recommendations. The Fund’s
use of derivatives is not included in this tally. If Cramer does not take any view on any of the securities holdings in the
Fund’s portfolio, including when he is absent from CNBC or Twitter for any reason, the adviser retains discretion to sell
positions once profit or loss targets are met, or market conditions such as large swings in either direction necessitate a sale and replace
them with securities that meet the criteria of the Fund’s initial portfolio. Under normal circumstances, the Fund will hold positions
no longer than a 5-day trading week but could hold a position longer if Cramer continues to have a contrary opinion.

The Registrant respectfully declines to add concentration
risk as a principal investment risk. Each Fund has adopted an investment policy not to invest 25% or more of its total assets in a particular
industry or group of industries. The Registrant further declines to estimate how many recommendations Cramer typically makes in a week.
The number of Cramer’s recommendations varies from week to week such that attempting to estimate the number of recommendations would
be unhelpful, if not misleading, to investors.

The Registrant is informed by the Adviser that Cramer’s
absence from CNBC or Twitter is unlikely and therefore is not a principal risk of the investing in the Funds. Moreover, the Registrant
notes that the Funds’ principal investment strategy disclosures make clear that the Adviser retains discretion to sell positions
once profit or loss targets are met, or market conditions so warrant. Nevertheless, the Registrant has enhanced its Item 9 disclosure
of Portfolio Turnover Risk to address the possibility of Cramer being absent for a prolonged period of time or if he loses one of his
shows as follows:

Portfolio Turnover Risk:  It is expected that the Fund will often buys and sells
investments frequently. Such a strategy often involves higher transaction costs, including brokerage commissions, and may increase the
amount of capital gains (in particular, short-term gains) realized by the Fund. Shareholders may pay tax on such capital gains. Conversely,
there may be times where there is little or no portfolio turnover if Cramer is absent for a prolonged period of time from CNBC or Twitter.

Comment 10: Because the Fund can invest in
securities of any market capitalization, please include risk disclosure for “Large Capitalization Stock Risk.”

  Scott Lee, Esq.

  December 13, 2022

  Page 6

Response: The Registrant has added the following
disclosure to the Fund’s Principal Investment Risks:

Large Capitalization Risk:  The
value of investments in larger companies may not rise as much as smaller companies, or larger companies may be unable to respond quickly
to competitive challenges, such as changes in technology and consumer tastes.

Comment 11: Please clarify what is meant by
a “week” as used in the last sentence of the second paragraph under the heading “Principal Investment Strategies.”
For example, Is this 5 business days or 7 calendar days? When does a “week” begin, i.e., can week straddle a two calendar-week
period?

Response: The Registrant refers to its response
to Comment 9.

Comment 12: Please clarify how the Fund will
ensure it complies with its concentration and diversification policies given the ever changing and unpredictable nature of the Fund’s
holdings.

Response: As disclosed in the Prospectus, the
Fund’s advisor retains discretion not to transact in equity securities or engage in related transactions if doing so would negatively
impact the Fund’s investment restrictions or its ability to meet the diversification requirement

Comment 13: Please redraft the last sentence
of the Fund’s disclosures under the heading “Principal Investment Strategies.”

Response: The Registrant has amended its disclosures
to state the following:

The adviser does not in all cases
perform fundamental investment analysis of securities bought, sold and held by the Fund.  as The primary
factor for engaging in such transacting in such securities or related securities is the fact that they are mentioned
by Cramer.

Comment 14: The Staff’s position on
risk disclosures for the past several years has been to disclose risks in the order of significance or prominence to the fund’s
strategy. Disclosing risks in alphabetical order suggests that each are equally imminent, whereas the risk disclosures should give shareholders
which risks are of greater concern or salient to the fund. Pursuant to remarks from Dalia Blass, the former Director of the Division
of Investment Management, please re-order the Fund’s principal risk disclosures so that the risks with the greatest potential impact
to the Fund’s net asset value, yield or total return are listed first. The remaining risks can be listed alphabetically. See
ADI 2019-08, “Improving Principal Risks Disclosure” at www.sec.gov.
