Notes to the Schedule of Investments
February 28, 2017 (Unaudited)

Note 1 – Securities Valuation

The Semper Funds’ (the “Funds”) investments in securities are carried at their fair value.  Each Fund computes its net asset value per share as of the close of regular trading on the New York Stock Exchange (4:00 pm EST).

Mortgage- and Asset-Backed Securities: Mortgage- and asset-backed securities are usually issued as separate tranches, or classes, of securities within each deal.  These securities are also normally valued by pricing service providers that use broker-dealer quotations or valuation estimates from their internal pricing models.  The pricing models for these securities usually consider tranche-level attributes, estimated cash flows and market-based yield spreads for each tranche, current market data and incorporate deal collateral performance, as available.  Mortgage- and asset-backed securities that use similar valuation techniques and inputs as described above are categorized as level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.

U.S. Government Securities: U.S. Government securities are normally valued using a model that incorporates market observable data such as reported sales of similar securities, broker quotes, yields, bids, offers, and reference data.  Certain securities are valued principally using dealer quotations.  U.S. Government securities are typically categorized in level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.

U.S. Government Agency Securities: U.S. Government agency securities are comprised of two main categories consisting of agency issued debt and mortgage pass-throughs.  Agency issued debt securities are generally valued in a manner similar to U.S. Government securities.  Mortgage pass-throughs include to-be-announced (“TBAs”) securities and mortgage pass-through certificates.  TBA securities and mortgage pass-throughs are generally valued using dealer quotations.  These securities are typically categorized in level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.

Other Debt Securities:  Other debt securities, including corporate and municipal bonds, are valued at their mean 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 yields or recently executed transactions of investments with comparable quality, type of issue, coupon maturity and rating, 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.
 
Investment Companies: 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.

Short-Term Securities: Short-term debt securities, including those securities having a maturity of 60 days or less, are valued at the evaluated mean between the bid and asked prices.  To the extent the inputs are observable and timely, these securities would be classified in level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.

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 Funds’ 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 Funds have 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 Funds’ securities as of February 28, 2017:

The change in unrealized appreciation/(depreciation) for level 3 securities still held at February 28, 2017, and still classified as level 3 was $28,484.

Transfers from level 3 to level 2 are a result of the availability of current market data provided by the Funds’ primary pricing services which utilize observable inputs.  The Funds’ primary pricing services were unable to provide a valuation for 22 other securities held on February 28, 2017.  The Valuation Committee utilized indicative market quotations or broker quotes received from a broker-dealer considered by the Funds’ adviser to be a market participant.  The underlying inputs which support the broker quotes utilized by the Valuation Committee are not observable.  In addition, a primary pricing service provided a valuation for one security held in the MBS Total Return Fund and two securities held in the Short Duration Fund which were based on a single broker quote.

Significant unobservable valuation inputs for the private placement participation agreements categorized as level 3 securities in the MBS Total Return Fund as of February 28, 2017, are as follows:

Fixed loan participation valued at par based on deal cash flow, illiquidity and short maturity.
This loan participation has an expected 10% yield for a 3 year term (2 years remaining), appropriate given the asset’s strong credit quality offset by illiquidity.  This loan participation is part of a senior secured credit facility backed by a series of pools of unsecured consumer loan receivables, originated by LoanMe, Inc., a specialty finance company that directly originates and services high interestbearing unsecured consumer loans and unsecured small business loans.  Repayment of principal at par is ahead of schedule with another 15% paid down in Q1 2017. Overcollateralization, strong fundamentals of loan cash flows support a continued price of par.

Note 2 – 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 a Fund.  Illiquid securities may be valued under methods approved by the Funds’ Board of Trustees as reflecting fair value.  Each Fund intends to hold no more than 15% of its net assets in illiquid securities.  At February 28, 2017, the MBS Total Return Fund had investments in illiquid securities with a total value of $933,757 or 0.1% of total net assets and the Short Duration Fund had investments in illiquid securities with a total value of $948,911 or 2.1% of total net assets.
