Huber Capital Management, LLC (the “Adviser”) has voluntarily agreed to reduce the Fund’s management fee, from 1.00% to 0.00%, through at least February 27, 2021. The Adviser cannot recoup these amounts.
2 
The Mid Cap Value Fund may accrue up to 0.25% in “Distribution and Service (Rule 12b-1) Fees” of the average daily net assets of the Institutional Class shares; however, the Fund’s accrual of the fee is currently set at 0.00% through at least February 27, 2021, and any accrual increase must first be approved by the Advisors Series Trust’s (the “Trust”) Board of Trustees (the “Board”).

The Adviser has contractually agreed to waive a portion or all of its management fees and pay expenses of the Mid Cap Value Fund to ensure that Total Annual Fund Operating Expenses (excluding AFFE, interest expense, taxes, extraordinary expenses, Rule 12b-1 fees, shareholder servicing fees, and any other class-specific expenses) do not exceed 1.00% of average daily net assets of the Fund (the “Expense Cap”). The Expense Cap will remain in effect through at least February 27, 2021, and may be terminated only by the Trust’s Board of Trustees (the “Board”). The Adviser may request recoupment of previously waived fees and paid expenses pursuant to the contract from the Fund for 36 months from the date they were waived and paid, subject to the Expense Cap.

Example. This Example is intended to help you compare the cost of investing in the Mid Cap Value Fund with the cost of investing in other mutual funds. The Example assumes that you invest $10,000 in the Fund for the time periods indicated and then redeem all of your shares at the end of those periods. The Example also assumes that your investment has a 5% return each year and that the Fund’s operating expenses remain the same (taking into account the Expense Cap only in the first year). Although your actual costs may be higher or lower, based on these assumptions your costs would be:
 
1 Year
3 Years
5 Years
10 Years

Portfolio Turnover. The Mid Cap Value Fund pays transaction costs, such as commissions, when it buys and sells securities (or “turns over” its portfolio). A higher portfolio turnover rate may indicate higher transaction costs and may result in higher taxes when Fund shares are held in a taxable account. These costs, which are not reflected in annual fund operating expenses or in the example, affect the Fund’s performance. During the most recent fiscal year, the Fund’s portfolio turnover rate was 90.36% of the average value of its portfolio.
Principal Investment Strategies
The Mid Cap Value Fund normally invests at least 80% of its net assets (plus borrowings for investment purposes) in common stocks of mid-sized capitalization U.S. companies (“mid cap companies”) whose stocks are considered by the Adviser to be undervalued.  The Adviser currently considers mid cap companies to be those with a market capitalization range that is consistent with the market capitalization range of the Russell Midcap® Index. The market capitalization range of the index changes constantly, but as of January 31, 2020, the market capitalization range of the Russell Midcap® Index was between $355.9 million and $66.9 billion. The Fund also normally invests in stocks with high cash dividends or payout yields relative to the market.  
The Mid Cap Value Fund may make significant investments in securities of non-U.S. issuers (“foreign securities”), including issuers in emerging markets.  The Fund invests primarily in domestic U.S. securities but reserves the right to invest up to 20% of its net assets in American Depositary Receipts (“ADRs”), dollar-denominated foreign securities, or directly in foreign securities.  Should appropriate investment opportunities be available, the Fund may invest in initial public offerings (“IPOs”) without limitation.  Additionally, the Fund may invest in Rule 144A and other restricted equity securities but not in an amount that exceeds 15% of the Fund’s total assets.  From time to time, the Fund may be invested in securities of companies in the same economic sector.
The Adviser employs a value investing style, investing in stocks which, in the Adviser’s opinion, trade at a significant discount to the present value of future cash flows.  The Adviser attempts to identify out-of-favor stocks that represent solid fundamental value.  The Adviser identifies these investment opportunities by employing a disciplined; bottom-up investment process that emphasizes internally generated fundamental research.  The process includes an initial review, in-depth analysis, and employment of the Adviser’s proprietary valuation methodology.
Principal Risks
Losing all or a portion of your investment is a risk of investing in the Mid Cap Value Fund. The following additional risks could affect the value of your investment:
Market and Regulatory Risk.  Events in the financial markets and economy may cause volatility and uncertainty and adversely impact the Fund’s performance. Market events may affect a single issuer, industry, sector, or the market as a whole. Traditionally liquid investments may experience periods of diminished liquidity. Governmental and regulatory actions, including tax law changes, may also impair portfolio management and have unexpected or adverse consequences on particular markets, strategies, or investments.
Management Risk. The Mid Cap Value Fund is an actively managed investment portfolio and the Fund relies on the Adviser’s ability to pursue the Fund’s goal. The Adviser applies its investment techniques and risk analyses in making investment decisions for the Fund, but there can be no guarantee that its decisions will produce the desired results.
Equity Securities Risk. The price of equity securities may rise or fall because of economic or political changes or changes in a company’s financial condition, sometimes rapidly or unpredictably. These price movements may result from factors affecting individual companies, sectors or industries selected for the Mid Cap Value Fund’s portfolio or the securities market as a whole, such as changes in economic or political conditions.

2



Mid-Sized Company Risk. A mid-sized company may be more vulnerable to adverse business or economic events than stocks of larger companies. These stocks present greater risks than securities of larger, more diversified companies.
Value Style Investing Risk. The Mid Cap Value Fund emphasizes a “value” style of investing, which targets undervalued companies with characteristics for improved valuations. This style of investing is subject to the risk that the valuations never improve or that the returns on “value” securities may not move in tandem with the returns on other styles of investing or the stock market in general.
Sector Emphasis Risk. The securities of companies in the same or related businesses, if comprising a significant portion of the Mid Cap Value Fund’s portfolio, could react in some circumstances negatively to market conditions, interest rates and economic, regulatory or fiscal developments and adversely affect the value of the portfolio to a greater extent than if such business comprised a lesser portion of the Fund’s portfolio.

Foreign and Emerging Market Securities Risk. Investments in foreign currencies and foreign issuers are subject to additional risks, including political and economic risks, greater volatility, civil conflicts and war, sanctions or other measures by the United States or other governments, liquidity risks, currency fluctuations, higher transaction costs, delayed settlement, possible foreign controls on investment, expropriation and nationalization risks, and less stringent investor protection and disclosure standards of foreign markets. Events and evolving conditions in certain economies or markets may alter the risks associated with investments tied to countries or regions that historically were perceived as comparatively stable becoming riskier and more volatile. These risks are magnified in countries in “emerging markets.” Emerging market countries typically have less-established market economies than developed countries and may face greater social, economic, regulatory and political uncertainties. In addition, emerging markets typically present greater illiquidity and price volatility concerns due to smaller or limited local capital markets and greater difficulty in determining market valuations of securities due to limited public information on issuers.
ADR Risk. Investments in ADRs are subject to many of the same risks that are associated with direct investments in foreign securities. In addition, ADRs may not track the price of the underlying foreign securities, and their value may change materially at times when the U.S. markets are not open for trading.
Initial Public Offering Risk.  The risk exists that the market value of IPO shares will fluctuate considerably due to factors such as the absence of a prior public market, unseasoned trading, the small number of shares available for trading and limited information about the issuer.  The purchase of IPO shares may involve high transaction costs.  IPO shares are subject to market risk and liquidity risk.  When the Mid Cap Value Fund’s asset base is small, a significant portion of the Fund’s performance could be attributable to investments in IPOs, because such investments would have a magnified impact on the Fund.  As the Fund’s assets grow, the effect of the Fund’s investments in IPOs on the Fund’s performance probably will decline, which could reduce the Fund’s performance.
Rule 144A Securities Risk. The market for Rule 144A securities typically is less active than the market for publicly-traded securities. Rule 144A securities carry the risk that the liquidity of these securities may become impaired, making it more difficult for the Mid Cap Value Fund to sell these securities.
Who May Want to Invest in the Fund?
The Mid Cap Value Fund may be appropriate for investors who:
Have a long-term investment horizon;
Want to add an investment with potential for capital appreciation to diversify their investment portfolio; and
Can accept greater risks of investing in a portfolio with common stock holdings.
