Annual Report

October 31, 2012

Dear Fellow Shareholder:

We are pleased to report that the Edgar Lomax Value Fund completed another successful year on this past October 31 (its 15th year of operation), growing to nearly $36 million in net assets as a result of new shareholders and strong investment returns.  However, our stocks experienced a more subdued performance than their wide outperformance in 2011.

Specifically, the past year saw two distinct rallies on the part of lower-quality stocks which rarely appear in a Lomax portfolio.  These stocks generally trade at low dividend yields or high price-to-earnings ratios, and/or operate with a strong reliance on government support.  First, we informed you in this past April’s report that beaten down names had experienced an early-year snapback from their sharp declines in 2011.  Then, in the year’s waning months, the Federal Reserve yielded in mid-September to a rising volume of urgent calls for more monetary easing with a third round of money printing (officially called “Quantitative Easing”).  Low-quality stocks again took wing.  Even in this environment, the Fund’s “blue-chip” stock portfolio put in a solid gain.  Following is a summary of average annual total returns through October 31, 2012:

	Fund	S&P 500/Citigroup Value	S&P 500
1-year	10.95%	16.72%	15.21%
5-year	-0.38%	-1.90%	0.36%
10-year	6.50%	6.94%	6.91%
Since-inception (12/12/97)	4.53%	4.38%	4.52%
30-day SEC yield:  2.17% (subsidized) and 1.69% (unsubsidized)

Please note that the Fund outpaced its value index over the 5-year period, and it bested both indexes since inception of the Fund.

Performance data quoted represents past performance and does not guarantee future results.  The investment return and principal value of an investment will fluctuate so that an investor’s shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost.  Current performance of the Fund may be lower or higher than the performance quoted.  Performance data current to the most recent month end may be obtained by calling (866) 205-0524 or visiting www.edgarlomax.com.  Before deducting fees that the Advisor contractually waived or expenses of the Fund that the Advisor absorbed, the gross expense ratio is 1.52%*; however, after such waivers or absorptions by the Advisor, the Fund’s net expense ratio is 0.99%.

As we have said before, tolerating brief periods of underperformance like the past year is precisely what we believe has helped us to produce good long-term performance.  As the financial press has regularly reported, the indexes’ strong recent performance resulted primarily from the price increases of low-quality stocks.  Our returns, however, have been achieved with what, in our view, are high-quality companies—for example, those with solid

* Figures are from the Fund’s prospectus dated 2/28/12.  The Advisor has contractually agreed to waive its fees and/or absorb expenses of the Fund to ensure that Net Annual Fund Operating Expenses do not exceed 0.99% through at least 2/28/13.  In addition, the Advisor has voluntarily agreed to waive a portion of its investment advisory fee contingent upon the Fund’s performance versus the S&P 500/Citigroup Value.  While the Advisor may discontinue its voluntary waiver at any time, it has no intention of doing so.

balance sheets, long histories of consistent profitability and a superior current dividend yield, on average, of 3.2% (versus only 2.2% and 2.5%, respectively, for the S&P 500 and Citigroup Value).  Consequently, our portfolio is designed with a primary goal to continually build value, on an internal basis, which we are convinced that the market will ultimately recognize.

In addition, we believe the characteristics of the companies in which we invest make their stocks attractive holdings for both “up” and “down” markets.  Please see the “Schedule of Investments” in this report for a detailed list of our investments.  Now, let’s review how some of our larger positions performed during the year ended October 31, 2012.  There is a good reason Wal-Mart has become a regular destination for many of us.  It is a top-notch, ever-improving business and, last year, delivered just under a 36% return to its stockholders (and still has a price-to-earnings ratio, or p/e,  of just 14).  Another household name is Pfizer, which sells a host of products that quite literally provide life to a growing portion of the world’s population.  Its gain of nearly 35% supports our belief that it has the management talent and resources to address any business challenge, including its often cited patent expirations.  Another favorite of ours is Intel, though it declined a little over 8% last year.  We believe this was a knee-jerk reaction to its strong connection with a declining personal computer market.  In our view, this longtime competitor will not likely just fade away.  Rather, we expect Intel to adapt and innovate.  With a current dividend yield of 4.4% and a very low p/e of 9, we believe it’s a good value worthy of our patience.

Once again, we greatly appreciate your investment in the Fund and trust that you are pleased with our service to date.  Meanwhile, you can be sure that we will continue to extend our best efforts on your behalf.

Cordially,

Randall R. Eley	Phillip A. Titzer
Chief Investment Officer	Portfolio Manager

Mutual fund investing involves risk; principal loss is possible.  Growth stocks typically are more volatile than value stocks; however, value stocks have a lower expected growth rate in sales and earnings.

Investment performance reflects expense waivers in effect.  In the absence of such waivers, total return would be reduced.

The opinions expressed are those of the investment advisor, are subject to change, and forecasts made cannot be guaranteed.  Fund holdings and sector allocations are subject to change and should not be considered recommendations to buy or sell any security.  Please see the Schedule of Investments in this report for current Fund holdings information.

The current dividend yield of the Fund and its benchmark indexes represents the asset-weighted average dividend yield of the underlying equity positions as of October 31, 2012.

The Price-to-Earnings (P/E) Ratio is calculated by dividing the current price of a stock by the company’s trailing 12 months’ earnings per share.

The S&P 500®/Citigroup Value Index is a market-value-weighted index of stocks in the S&P 500® Index which score highest based on an average of book-to-price ratio, sales-to-price ratio and earnings-to-price ratio, representing 50% of the total market value of the S&P 500® Index.

The Lipper Large-Cap Value Funds Index consists of the largest funds as tracked by Lipper, Inc.  Large Cap Value Funds seek long-term growth of capital by investing in companies that are considered to be undervalued relative to a major unmanaged stock index based on price-to-current earnings, book value, asset value, or other factors. Lipper rankings are based on total returns, including reinvestment of dividends and capital gains for the stated period; this calculation does not include sales charges.

EXPENSE EXAMPLE at October 31, 2012 (Unaudited)

Shareholders in mutual funds generally incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including sales charges (loads) on purchase payments, reinvested dividends, or other distributions; redemption fees; and exchange fees; and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees; distribution and/or service fees; and other Fund expenses. The Edgar Lomax Value Fund is a no-load mutual fund and has no shareholder transaction expenses. This Example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds. The Example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period (5/1/12 – 10/31/12).

Actual Expenses

The first line of the table below provides information about actual account values and actual expenses, with actual net expenses being limited to 0.99% per the advisory agreement. The Advisor has voluntarily agreed to waive a portion of its advisory fee contingent upon the Fund’s performance versus the S&P 500® Value Index (see Note 4 of the Notes to Financial Statements). The amount of the voluntary waiver will depend upon the size of the Fund’s assets as of the end of each month. If the Advisor waives advisory fees under this arrangement, it has also agreed to absorb all expenses, other than advisory fees. For the six months ended October 31, 2012, the Fund’s aggregate annual operating expenses were 0.99%. Although the Fund charges no sales load or transaction fees, you will be assessed fees for outgoing wire transfers, returned checks, and stop payment orders at prevailing rates charged by U.S. Bancorp Fund Services, LLC, the Fund’s transfer agent. The Example below includes, but is not limited to, management fees, fund accounting, custody and transfer agent fees. You may use the information in the first line of the table, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the first line under the heading entitled “Expenses Paid During Period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.

Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes

The second line of the table below provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Fund’s actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Fund’s actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Fund and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds. Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds, as they may charge transactional costs, such as sales charges (loads), redemption fees, or exchange fees.

	Beginning	Ending	Expenses Paid
	Account Value	Account Value	During Period*
	5/1/12	10/31/12	5/1/12 – 10/31/12
Actual	$1,000.00	$1,012.60	$5.01
Hypothetical (5% return before expenses)	$1,000.00	$1,020.16	$5.03

*  Expenses are equal to the Fund’s annualized expense ratio of 0.99%, multiplied by the average account value over the period, multiplied by 184 (days in most recent fiscal half-year)/366 days to reflect the one-half year expense.

EDGAR LOMAX VALUE FUND

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS at October 31, 2012

NOTE 1 – ORGANIZATION

The Edgar Lomax Value Fund (the “Fund”) is a diversified series of Advisors Series Trust (the “Trust”), which is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940 as an open-end management investment company.  The Fund’s investment objective is to seek long-term capital growth while providing some income.  The Fund began operations on December 12, 1997.

NOTE 2 – SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The following is a summary of significant accounting policies consistently followed by the Fund. These policies are in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

A. Security Valuation:  All investments in securities are recorded at their estimated fair value, as described in note 3.

B. Federal Income Taxes:  It is the Fund’s policy to comply with the requirements of Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code applicable to regulated investment companies and to distribute substantially all of its taxable income to its shareholders. Therefore, no Federal income or excise tax provision is required.

The Fund recognizes the tax benefits of uncertain tax positions only where the position is “more likely than not” to be sustained assuming examination by tax authorities.  Management has analyzed the Fund’s tax positions, and has concluded that no liability for unrecognized tax benefits should be recorded related to uncertain tax positions taken on returns filed for open tax years 2009 – 2011, or expected to be taken in the Fund’s 2012 tax returns.  The Fund identifies its major tax jurisdictions as U.S. Federal and the state of Arizona; however, the Fund is not aware of any tax positions for which it is reasonably possible that the total amounts of unrecognized tax benefits will change materially in the next twelve months.

C. Securities Transactions, Income and Distributions:  Securities transactions are accounted for on the trade date. Realized gains and losses on securities sold are determined on a first-in, first-out basis.  Interest income is recorded on an accrual basis.  Dividend income and distributions to shareholders are recorded on the ex-dividend date.

The Fund distributes substantially all net investment income, if any, and net realized capital gains, if any, annually.  The amount of dividends and distributions to shareholders from net investment income and net realized capital gains is determined in accordance with Federal income tax regulations, which differs from accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.  To the extent these book/tax differences are permanent, such amounts are reclassified within the capital accounts based on their Federal tax treatment.

D. Reclassification of Capital Accounts: Accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America require that certain components of net assets relating to permanent differences be reclassified between financial and tax reporting. These reclassifications have no effect on net assets or net asset value per share.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS at October 31, 2012, continued

E. Use of Estimates:  The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of increases and decreases in net assets during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

F. Events Subsequent to the Fiscal Year End:  In preparing the financial statements as of October 31, 2012, management considered the impact of subsequent events for potential recognition or disclosure in the financial statements.

NOTE 3 – SECURITIES VALUATION

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 major 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 Fund has 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 Fund’s 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.

Following is a description of the valuation techniques applied to the Fund’s major categories of assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis.

Equity Securities – The Fund’s investments are carried at fair value. Securities that are primarily traded on a national securities exchange shall be valued at the last sale price on the exchange on which they are primarily traded on the day of valuation or, if there has been no sale on such day, at the mean between the bid and asked prices.  Securities primarily traded in the NASDAQ Global Market System for which market quotations are readily available shall be valued using the NASDAQ Official Closing Price (“NOCP”).  If the NOCP is not available, such securities shall be valued at the last sale price on the day of valuation, or if there has been no sale on such day, at the mean between the bid and asked prices.  Over-the-counter securities which are not traded in the NASDAQ Global Market System shall be valued at the most recent sales price.  Investments in open-end funds are valued at their net asset value per share.  To the extent, these securities are actively traded and valuation adjustments are not applied, they are categorized in level 1 of the fair value hierarchy.

15

EDGAR LOMAX VALUE FUND

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS at October 31, 2012, continued

Securities for which market quotations are not readily available or if the closing price does not represent fair value, are valued following procedures approved by the Board of Trustees (“Board”).  These procedures consider many factors, including the type of security, size of holding, trading volume and news events.  Depending on the relative significance of the valuation inputs, these securities may be classified in either level 2 or level 3 of the fair value hierarchy.

The Board has delegated day-to-day valuation issues to a Valuation Committee which is comprised of one or more trustees and 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. All actions taken by the Valuation Committee are reviewed and ratified by the Board.

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

The inputs or methodology used for valuing securities are not 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 October 31, 2012:

	Level 1		Level 2		Level 3		Total
Common Stocks
Agriculture, Forestry,
Fishing, and Hunting	$	249,210	$	—	$	—	$	249,210

Total Investments in Securities	$	35,584,857	$	—	$	—	$	35,584,857

Refer to the Fund’s Schedule of Investments for a detailed break-out of common stocks by industry classification. Transfers between levels are recognized at October 31, 2012, 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 year ended October 31, 2012.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS at October 31, 2012, continued

In December 2011, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standard Update (“ASU”) No. 2011-11 related to disclosures about offsetting assets and liabilities. The amendments in this ASU require an entity to disclose information about offsetting and related arrangements to enable users of its financial statements to understand the effect of those arrangements on its financial position. The ASU is effective for annual reporting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2013, and interim periods within those annual periods. The guidance requires retrospective application for all comparative periods presented. The Fund is currently evaluating the impact ASU 2011-11 will have on the financial statement disclosures.

NOTE 4 – INVESTMENT ADVISORY FEE AND OTHER TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES

For the year ended October 31, 2012, The Edgar Lomax Company (the “Advisor”) provided the Fund with investment management services under an Investment Advisory Agreement. The Advisor furnished all investment advice, office space, facilities, and provides most of the personnel needed by the Fund. As compensation for its services, the Advisor is entitled to a monthly fee at the annual rate of 0.80% based upon the average daily net assets of the Fund. Effective March 31, 2004, the Advisor has agreed to voluntarily waive a portion of its advisory fees due from the Fund based upon the Fund’s performance versus the “S&P 500 Value Index.”  Through February 28, 2006, the performance of the S&P 500 Value Index was that of the S&P/Barra Value Index. Thereafter, it is the performance of the S&P 500/Citigroup Value Index (which Standard & Poor’s chose to replace the S&P 500/Barra Value Index). The Advisor intends to waive a portion of its advisory fee whenever, as of the end of each month, the Fund’s 3-year or 5-year average annual total return is less than that of the S&P 500 Value Index. The amount of the voluntary waiver will depend upon the size of the Fund’s assets as of the end of each month. While this voluntary fee waiver can be discontinued at any time, the Advisor has no intention of doing so. For the year ended October 31, 2012, the Fund incurred $272,013 in advisory fees, of which the Advisor voluntarily waived $0.

The Fund is responsible for its own operating expenses. The Advisor has contractually agreed to reduce fees payable to it by the Fund and to pay Fund operating expenses to the extent necessary to limit the Fund’s aggregate annual operating expenses to 0.99% of average daily net assets. If the Advisor waives advisory fees under the arrangement described above, it has also agreed to absorb all expenses, other than advisory fees. Any such reduction made by the Advisor in its fees or payment of expenses which are the Fund’s obligation are subject to reimbursement by the Fund to the Advisor, if so requested by the Advisor, in subsequent fiscal years if the aggregate amount actually paid by the Fund toward the operating expenses for such fiscal year (taking into account the reimbursement) does not exceed the applicable limitation on Fund expenses. The Advisor is permitted to be reimbursed only for fee reductions and expense payments made in the previous three fiscal years.  Any such reimbursement is also contingent upon Board of Trustees review and approval at the time the reimbursement is made. Such reimbursement may not be paid prior to the Fund’s payment of current ordinary operating expenses.  For the year ended October 31, 2012, the Advisor reduced its fees and absorbed Fund expenses in the amount of $150,035; no amounts were reimbursed to the Advisor.  Cumulative expenses subject to recapture pursuant to the aforementioned conditions expire as follows:

NOTE 6 – INCOME TAXES

Net investment income/(loss) and net realized gains/(losses) differ for financial statement and tax purposes due to differing treatments of wash sale losses deferred.

The tax character of distributions paid during the years ended October 31, 2012 and October 31, 2011 was as follows:

	Year Ended	Year Ended
	October 31, 2012	October 31, 2011
Net investment income	$634,243	$506,979

Total distributable earnings		648,748
Other accumulated gains/(losses)		(1,168,537	)
Total accumulated earnings/(losses)	$	2,879,476

(a)  The difference between book-basis and tax-basis unrealized appreciation is attributable primarily to the tax deferral of losses on wash sales.

Capital Loss
Carryover	Expires
$1,168,537	2017

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States).  Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements and financial highlights are free of material misstatement.  The Trust is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting.  Our audits included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Trust’s internal control over financial reporting.  Accordingly, we express no such opinion.  An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.  Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of October 31, 2012, by correspondence with the custodian.  We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements and financial highlights referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Edgar Lomax Value Fund as of October 31, 2012, the results of its operations for the year then ended, the changes in its net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended and the financial highlights for each of the five years in the period then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

The audit committee has adopted pre-approval policies and procedures that require the audit committee to pre-approve all audit and non-audit services of the registrant, including services provided to any entity affiliated with the registrant.

The percentage of fees billed by Tait, Weller, & Baker LLP applicable to non-audit services pursuant to waiver of pre-approval requirement were as follows:

All of the principal accountant’s hours spent on auditing the registrant’s financial statements were attributed to work performed by full-time permanent employees of the principal accountant.

The following table indicates the non-audit fees billedor expected to be billed by the registrant’s accountant for services to the registrant and to the registrant’s investment adviser (and any other controlling entity, etc.—not sub-adviser) for the last two years.  The audit committee of the Board of Trustees has considered whether the provision of non-audit services that were rendered to the registrant's investment adviser is compatible with maintaining the principal accountant's independence and has concluded that the provision of such non-audit services by the accountant has not compromised the accountant’s independence.

Exhibit A

ADVISORS SERIES TRUST

Code of Ethics

For Principal Executive Officer & Principal Financial Officer

This Code of Ethics is designed to comply with Section 406 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 and the rules promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) thereunder.  This Code of Ethics is in addition to, not in replacement of, the Advisors Series Trust (the “Trust”) Code of Ethics for access persons (the “Investment Company Code of Ethics”), adopted pursuant to Rule 17j-1 under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “Investment Company Act”). The persons covered by this Code of Ethics may also be subject to the Investment Company Code of Ethics.

The Trust requires its Principal Executive Officer, Principal Financial Officer, or other Trust officers performing similar functions (the “Principal Officers”), to maintain the highest ethical and legal standards while performing their duties and responsibilities to the Trust and each of its series (each a “Fund,” collectively the “Funds”), with particular emphasis on those duties that relate to the preparation and reporting of the financial information of the Funds.  The following principles and responsibilities shall govern the professional conduct of the Principal Officers:

1.   HONEST AND ETHICAL CONDUCT.

The Principal Officers shall act with honesty and integrity, avoiding actual or apparent conflicts of interest in personal and professional relationships, and shall report any material transaction or relationship that reasonably could be expected to give rise to such conflict between their interests and those of a Fund to the Audit Committee, the full Board of Trustees of the Trust, and, in addition, to any other appropriate person or entity that may reasonably be expected to deal with any conflict of interest in timely and expeditious manner.

The Principal Officers shall act in good faith, responsibly, with due care, competence and diligence, without misrepresenting material facts or allowing their independent judgment to be subordinated or compromised.

2.   FINANCIAL RECORDS AND REPORTING

The Principal Officers shall provide full, fair, accurate, timely and understandable disclosure in the reports and/or other documents to be filed with or submitted to the SEC or other applicable body by a Fund, or that is otherwise publicly disclosed or communicated.  The Principal Officers shall comply with applicable rules and regulations of federal, state, and local governments, and other appropriate private and public regulatory agencies.

The Principal Officers shall respect the confidentiality of information acquired in the course of their work and shall not disclose such information except when authorized or legally obligated to disclose.  The Principal Officers will not use confidential information acquired in the course of their duties as Principal Officers.

The Principal Officers shall share knowledge and maintain skills important and relevant to the Trust’s needs; shall proactively promote ethical behavior of the Trust’s employees and as a partner with industry peers and associates; and shall maintain control over and responsibly manage assets and resources employed or entrusted to them by the Trust.

3.   COMPLIANCE WITH LAWS, RULES AND REGULATIONS

The Principal Officers shall establish and maintain mechanisms to oversee the compliance of the Funds with applicable federal, state or local law, regulation or administrative rule, and to identify, report and correct in a swift and certain manner, any detected deviations from applicable federal, state or local law regulation or rule.

4.   COMPLIANCE WITH THIS CODE OF ETHICS

The Principal Officers shall promptly report any violations of this Code of Ethics to the Audit Committee as well as the full Board of Trustees of the Trust and shall be held accountable for strict adherence to this Code of Ethics.  A proven failure to uphold the standards stated herein shall be grounds for such sanctions as shall be reasonably imposed by the Board of Trustees of the Trust.

5.   AMENDMENT AND WAIVER

This Code of Ethics may only be amended or modified by approval of the Board of Trustees.  Any substantive amendment that is not technical or administrative in nature or any material waiver, implicit or otherwise, of any provision of this Code of Ethics, shall be communicated publicly in accordance with Item 2 of Form N-CSR under the Investment Company Act.

Adopted by the Board of Trustees on March 18, 2010
