Wasmer Schroeder High Yield Municipal Fund
Notes to the Schedule of Investments
November 30, 2014 (Unaudited)

Note 1 – Securities Valuation

The Wasmer Schroeder High Yield Municipal Fund’s (the “Fund”) investments in securities are carried at their fair value.

The Fund determines the fair value of its investments and computes its net asset value per share as of the close of regular trading on the New York Stock Exchange (4:00 pm EST).

Debt securities are valued at their bid prices furnished by an independent pricing service using valuation methods that are designed to represent fair value.  These valuation methods can include matrix pricing and other analytical pricing models, market transactions, and dealer-supplied valuations.  The pricing service may consider recently executed transactions in securities of the issuer or comparable issuers, market price quotations (where observable), bond spreads, and fundamental data relating to the issuer.  Most debt securities are categorized in level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.

Short-term securities having a maturity of 60 days or less are valued at their amortized cost, which approximates market value.  Short-term securities which mature after 60 days are valued at market.  To the extent the inputs are observable and timely, these securities would be classified in level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.

Investments in open-end mutual funds are valued at their net asset value per share and are typically categorized in level 1 of the fair value hierarchy.

Illiquid Securities - A security may be considered illiquid if it lacks a readily available market.  Securities are generally considered liquid if they can be sold or disposed of in the ordinary course of business within seven days at approximately the price at which the security is valued by the Fund.  Illiquid securities may be valued under methods approved by the Fund’s Board of Trustees as reflecting fair value.  The Fund intends to hold no more than 15% of its net assets in illiquid securities.  As of November 30, 2014, the Fund held illiquid securities with a value of $3,555,801 or 4.97% of total net assets.
 
The Board of Trustees (“Board”) has delegated day-to-day valuation issues to a Valuation Committee of Advisors Series Trust which is comprised of representatives from U.S. Bancorp Fund Services, LLC, the Fund’s administrator.  The function of the Valuation Committee is to value securities where current and reliable market quotations are not readily available or the closing price does not represent fair value by following procedures approved by the Board.  These procedures consider many factors, including the type of security, size of holding, trading volume and news events.  All actions taken by the Valuation Committee are subsequently reviewed and ratified by the Board.

Depending on the relative significance of the valuation inputs, fair valued securities may be classified in either level 2 or level 3 of the fair value hierarchy.

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 majority 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 Funds have 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 Funds’ 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.

The inputs or methodology used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities.  The following is a summary of the inputs used to value the Fund’s securities as of November 30, 2014:

   
Level 1
   
Level 2
   
Level 3

Refer to the Fund’s Schedule of Investments for additional information. Transfers between levels are recognized at November 30, 2014, the end of the reporting period.  The Fund recognized no transfers to/from Level 1 or Level 2. There were no Level 3 securities held in the Fund during the period ended November 30, 2014.
