O’Shaughnessy Mutual Funds


All Cap Core Fund
 
Equity markets performed very well during the six month period ended January 31, 2013.  During this period, volatility remained low and the market shrugged off the fiscal cliff and sequestration – two issues many predicted could derail the market rally.  However, the Class A shares of the All Cap Core Fund underperformed the Fund’s benchmarks, returning 7.79% (without the effect of sales charges) while the Russell 3000® Index returned 11.24% and the S&P 500® Index returned 9.91% during the six months ended January 31, 2013.
 
During the period, several stocks in the Consumer Discretionary and Information Technology sectors were the worst drags on performance, including Dollar Tree Inc. and Intel Corp.  Performance was boosted, however, by several over weights to stocks such as Wynn Resorts Ltd., Home Depot Inc., and Tesoro Corp., which all did very well during the period.
 
Based on our key factors of high yield, attractive valuation, and high momentum, the Fund was hurt by stock selection in the Consumer Discretionary, Industrials, and Information Technology sectors. The Fund was helped by stock selection in the Energy and Consumer Staples sectors.
 
Based on our historical research, the factors that we emphasize in the Fund should outperform over longer holding periods, but have shorter periods of time when they do not work. We believe the key to success with this type of strategy is patience, and we expect stocks with attractive yields, valuations and momentum to outperform in the years to come.
 


Enhanced Dividend Fund
 
Equity markets performed very well during the six month period ended January 31, 2013.  During this period, volatility remained low and the market shrugged off the fiscal cliff and continued concerns over the health of the Eurozone economy – two issues many predicted could derail the market rally.  The Class A shares of the Enhanced Dividend Fund performed in line with the Russell 1000 Value® Index but outperformed the MSCI All Country World Index.  The Fund returned 13.95% (without the effect of sales charges) while the Russell 1000® Value Index returned 13.97% and the MSCI All Country World Index returned 13.43% during the six months ended January 31, 2013.
 
During the period, market leading global stocks with high dividend yields did well on an absolute and relative basis.  During the period, several stocks in the Energy and Information Technology sectors were the largest positive contributors to performance, including ENI S.p.A, Total S.A. and STMicroelectronics N.V.  Performance was hurt, however, by several over weights to stocks such as France Telecom, Verizon Communications Inc., and Lockheed Martin Corp.
 
Selecting securities based on high yield led to a very substantial overweight in the Telecommunications sector, with an average weight of 33.2% versus an average benchmark weight of just 4.5%.  We were also overweight the Energy sector with an average weight of 22.9% versus an average benchmark weight of 10.9%.  We believe these sectors will continue to be crucial drivers of performance because of the outstanding dividend yields which have been available in these sectors.
 
Based on our historical research back to 1926, large cap, market-leading stocks with high dividend yields have been very strong performers relative to the overall market in the long run. We believe the key to success with this type of strategy is patience, and we expect stocks with attractive yields to outperform in the years to come.
 

 
Small/Mid Cap Growth Fund
 
Equity markets performed very well during the six month period ended January 31, 2013.  During this period, volatility remained low and the market shrugged off the fiscal cliff and sequestration – two issues many predicted could derail the market rally.  However,  the Class A shares of the Small/Mid Cap Growth Fund underperformed the Fund’s benchmark, returning 13.92% (without the effect of sales charges) while the Russell 2500 Growth® Index returned 15.59% during the six months ended January 31, 2013.

During the period, stocks in the Consumer Discretionary and Industrial sectors were the worst drags on performance, including PetSmart Inc. and several machinery stocks.  Performance was boosted, however, by several over weights to stocks such as Tyler Technologies Inc., Altisource Portfolio Solutions, and American Vanguard Corp., which all did very well during the period.
 
Based on our key factors of reasonable valuation, strong earnings growth and strong momentum, the Fund was particularly hurt in the Consumer Discretionary sector, where stock selection was very weak and was responsible for a large part of the Fund’s underperformance relative to the Russell 2500 Growth® Index for the period.  In particular, positions in Specialty Retail and Internet & Catalog Retail stocks dragged on performance.
 
Based on our historical research, the factors that we emphasize in the Fund should outperform over longer holding periods, but have shorter periods of time when they do not work. We believe the key to success with this type of strategy is patience, and we expect stocks with attractive valuations and strong earnings and price momentum to outperform in the years to come.
 


Outlook
 
Markets performed very well in the six months ended January 31, 2013 - climbing a wall of worry in the process.  Investor uncertainty was largely based on the failure to address long-term fiscal imbalances in the U.S.  During the year, Congress’ highest approval rating was 21% due to its inability to reach compromises on several major economic and political issues. The fiscal cliff was averted thanks to a last minute deal, which will mitigate the near-term investor concerns about rising tax rates, broad spending cuts, and their potentially negative effect on the economy.
 
Political ineffectiveness aside, we remain bullish on stocks as an investment class.  The long-term returns of bonds are expected to be low, and we believe stocks should be preferred for total return potential and a possible buffer from inflation.  For individual stock selection, our research indicates that macroeconomic variables and outcomes are less effective for predicting stock returns than key factors included in our stock selection process.  We believe that stocks with cheaper valuations, higher quality balance sheets and earnings, and high yields could provide an opportunity to  outperform the market by significant margins over time.
 
By mid-November 2012, fund flows out of U.S. focus equity funds surpassed $111B, more than the 2011 total outflow of $107B.  In contrast, bond funds saw inflows near $300B, up from inflows of $105B in 2011. Clearly, investors want income and the perceived safety of bonds. We believe this exaggerated trade out of equities and into bonds is mistimed and dangerous for investors.  Yields available on most income producing investments are at or near all time lows.  This is a bad sign for both the raw income available through those instruments and their valuations.  This indicates that investors are piling into bonds while they are around their most expensive prices in recorded history.
 
While equity indices overall are not as cheap as they periodically were over the past 3-4 years, we think there remain many individual stocks available at discount prices with which investors have an opportunity to form very strong portfolios. We believe that portfolios with attractive valuations and higher yields represent a superior long term investment option.

Opinions expressed are subject to change at any time, are not guaranteed and should not be considered investment advice.
 
Investments in foreign securities involve political, economic and currency risks, greater volatility, and differences in accounting methods. REITS and foreign real estate companies may be less diversified than other pools of securities, may have lower trading volumes and may be subject to more abrupt and erratic price movements than the overall securities markets. Investments in small-and medium-capitalization companies tend to have limited liquidity and greater price volatility than large-capitalization companies. Risks of derivatives include the possible imperfect correlation between the value of instruments and the underlying assets; risks of default by the other party to the transaction; risks that the transactions may result in losses that partially or completely offset gains in portfolio positions; and risks that instruments may not be liquid.

Expense Example
at January 31, 2013 (Unaudited)

Shareholders in mutual funds generally incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including sales charges (loads) on purchase payments, redemption fees, and exchange fees, and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees, distribution and/or service fees, and other fund expenses. This Example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Funds 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 (8/1/12 – 1/31/13).
 
Actual Expenses
For each class of each fund, two lines are presented in the tables below – the first line for each class provides information about actual account values and actual expenses, with actual net expenses being limited to 1.24% for Class A shares of the All Cap Core Fund and the Enhanced Dividend Fund, 1.44% for Class A shares of the Small/Mid Cap Growth Fund, 1.99% for Class C shares of the All Cap Core Fund and the Enhanced Dividend Fund, 0.99% for Class I shares of the All Cap Core Fund and the Enhanced Dividend Fund, and 1.19% for Class I shares of the Small/Mid Cap Growth Fund, per the operating expenses limitation agreement. In addition, you may be assessed a fee for outgoing wire transfers, returned checks, and stop payment orders at prevailing rates charged by U.S. Bancorp Fund Services, LLC, the Funds’ 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 this line, 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” for your fund and class to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.
 
Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes
For each class of each fund, the second line for each class provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the respective 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 Funds 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 do not reflect any transaction costs, such as sales charges (loads), redemption fees, or exchange fees. Therefore, the second line of the tables for each class of each fund is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transaction costs were included, your costs would have been higher.

O’Shaughnessy Mutual Funds


Notes to Financial Statements
at January 31, 2013 (Unaudited)

NOTE 1 – ORGANIZATION
 
The O’Shaughnessy All Cap Core Fund (the “All Cap Core Fund”), O’Shaughnessy Enhanced Dividend Fund (the “Enhanced Dividend Fund”), and the O’Shaughnessy Small/Mid Cap Growth Fund (the “Small/Mid Cap Growth Fund”) (together, the “Funds”) are each a series of Advisors Series Trust (the “Trust”), which is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the “1940 Act”), as amended, as an open-end management investment company. The Funds, which are all diversified funds, began operations on August 16, 2010. The investment objectives of the All Cap Core and Small/Mid Cap Growth Funds are to seek long-term capital appreciation and the investment objective of the Enhanced Dividend Fund is to seek long-term capital appreciation and income.
 
The All Cap Core Fund and the Enhanced Dividend Fund currently offer Class A shares, Class C shares and Class I shares. The Small/Mid Cap Growth Fund currently offers Class A shares and Class I shares. Class A shares may be subject to a 5.25% front-end sales load.  Class A shares do not have a contingent deferred sales charge (“CDSC”) except that a charge of 1% applies to certain redemptions made within twelve months, following purchases of $1 million or more without an initial sales charge.  Class C shares may be subject to a CDSC of 1% on redemptions held for one year or less after purchase.
 
NOTE 2 – SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
 
The following is a summary of significant accounting policies consistently followed by the Funds. 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 Funds’ 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 Funds recognize 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 Funds’ tax positions, and has concluded that no liability for unrecognized tax benefits should be recorded related to uncertain tax positions taken on the Funds’ returns filed for open tax years 2011-2012, or expected to be taken in the Funds’ 2013 tax returns. The Funds identify their major tax jurisdictions as U.S. Federal and the state of Wisconsin; however the Funds are 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.
Security Transactions, Income and Distributions:  Security transactions are accounted for on the trade date.  Realized gains and losses on securities sold are determined on the basis of identified cost. Interest income is recorded on an accrual basis. Dividend income and distributions to shareholders are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Withholding taxes on foreign dividends have been provided for in accordance with the Funds’ understanding of the applicable country’s tax rules and rates.
   
 
The All Cap Core Fund and the Small/Mid Cap Growth Fund distribute substantially all net investment income, if any, and net realized gains, if any, annually.  The Enhanced Dividend Fund distributes substantially all net investment income, if any, monthly, and net realized 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 differ 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.
   
 
Investment income, expenses (other than those specific to the class of shares), and realized and unrealized gains and losses on investments are allocated to the separate classes of a Fund based upon their relative net assets on the date income is earned or expensed and realized and unrealized gains and losses are incurred.
   
 
Each Fund is charged for those expenses that are directly attributable to the Fund, such as investment advisory, custody, and transfer agent fees. Expenses that are not attributable to a Fund are typically allocated among the Funds in proportion to their respective net assets.

NOTE 2 – SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)
 
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.
   
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.
Redemption Fee:  The Funds charge a 2.00% redemption fee to shareholders who redeem shares held 90 days or less. Such fees are retained by the Funds and accounted for as an addition to paid-in capital.
   
 
During the six months ended January 31, 2013, the Funds retained redemption fees as follows:
 
     
Class A
   
Class C
   
Class I
 
 
All Cap Core Fund
  $ 1,112     $ 117     $ 1,746  
 
Enhanced Dividend Fund
    153             24  
 
Small/Mid Cap Growth Fund
    128       N/A        
 
G.
Events Subsequent to the Fiscal Period End:  In preparing the financial statements as of January 31, 2013, management considered the impact of subsequent events for potential recognition or disclosure in the financial statements.
 
NOTE 3 – SECURITIES VALUATION
 
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 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 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 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 Funds’ major categories of assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis.
 
Equity Securities:  The Funds’ investments are carried at fair value. Equity securities, including common stocks, convertible securities and preferred stocks, 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

NOTE 3 – SECURITIES VALUATION (Continued)
 
valued at the most recent sales price. Investments in open-end mutual 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.
 
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.
 
Securities for which market quotations are not readily available, or if the closing price doesn’t 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 Funds’ 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.
 
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 Funds’ securities as of January 31, 2013:

Refer to the Funds’ Schedule of Investments for a detailed break-out of common stocks and preferred stocks by industry classification. Transfers between levels are recognized at January 31, 2013, the end of the reporting period. The Funds recognized no transfers to/from level 1 or level 2.  There were no level 3 securities held in the Funds during the six months ended January 31, 2013.
 
New Accounting Pronouncement:  In December 2011, FASB issued 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 Funds are 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 six months ended January 31, 2013, O’Shaughnessy Asset Management, LLC (the “Advisor”) provided the Funds 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 Funds. As compensation for its services, the Advisor is entitled to a fee, computed daily and payable monthly. The All Cap Core Fund, Enhanced Dividend Fund, and Small/Mid Cap Growth Fund pay fees calculated at an annual rate of 0.55%, 0.65%, and 0.60%, respectively, based upon the average daily net assets of each Fund.  For the six months ended January 31, 2013, the All Cap Core Fund, Enhanced Dividend Fund, and Small/Mid Cap Growth Fund incurred $239,202, $133,602, and $24,067 in advisory fees, respectively.
 
Each Fund is responsible for its own operating expenses. The Advisor has contractually agreed to reduce fees payable to it by the Funds and to pay Fund operating expenses to the extent necessary to limit the aggregate annual operating expenses as follows:
 
 
Class A
Class C
Class I
All Cap Core Fund
1.24%
1.99%
0.99%
Enhanced Dividend Fund

1.99%
0.99%
Small/Mid Cap Growth Fund
1.44%
N/A
1.19%
   
    percent of average daily net assets
 
Any such reduction made by the Advisor in its fees or payment of expenses which are the Funds’ obligation are subject to reimbursement by the Funds to the Advisor, if so requested by the Advisor, in subsequent fiscal years if the aggregate amount actually paid by the Funds toward the operating expenses for such fiscal year (taking into account the reimbursement) does not exceed the applicable limitation on Funds’ 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 Funds’ payment of current ordinary operating expenses.  For the six months ended January 31, 2013, the Advisor recouped $58,372 in previously waived expenses for the All Cap Core Fund.  For the six months ended January 31, 2013, the Advisor reduced its fees in the amount of $56,481 and $76,486 for the Enhanced Dividend Fund and Small/Mid Cap Growth Fund, respectively.
 
Cumulative expenses subject to recapture pursuant to the aforementioned conditions and the year of expiration are as follows:

U.S. Bancorp Fund Services, LLC (the “Administrator” or the “transfer agent”) acts as the Funds’ Administrator under an Administration Agreement. The Administrator prepares various federal and state regulatory filings, reports and returns for the Funds; prepares reports and materials to be supplied to the Trustees; monitors the activities of the Funds’ custodian, transfer agent and accountants; coordinates the preparation and payment of the Funds’ expenses and reviews the Funds’ expense accruals.
 
U.S. Bancorp Fund Services, LLC (“USBFS”) also serves as the fund accountant and transfer agent to the Funds. U.S. Bank N.A., an affiliate of USBFS, serves as the Funds’ custodian.
 
Quasar Distributors, LLC (the “Distributor”) acts as the Funds’ principal underwriter in a continuous public offering of the Funds’ shares. The Distributor is an affiliate of the Administrator. Certain officers of the Funds are also employees of the Administrator.

The Funds have adopted a Distribution Plan pursuant to Rule 12b-1 (the “Plan”). The Plan permits the Funds to pay for distribution and related expenses at an annual rate of up to 0.25% of the average daily net assets of each Fund’s Class A shares and up to 1.00% of the All Cap Core Fund’s and Enhanced Dividend Fund’s Class C shares. The expenses covered by the Plan may include the cost in connection with the promotion and distribution of shares and the provision of personal services to shareholders, including, but not necessarily limited to, advertising, compensation to underwriters, dealers and selling personnel, the printing and mailing of prospectuses to other than current Fund shareholders, and the printing and mailing of sales literature. Payments made pursuant to the Plan will represent compensation for distribution and service activities, not reimbursements for specific expenses incurred. For the six months ended January 31, 2013, the Funds paid the Distributor as follows:
 
   
Class A
     
Class C
   
All Cap Core Fund
  $ 4,478       $ 34,785

NOTE 6 – SHAREHOLDER SERVICING FEE
 
The Funds have entered into a shareholder servicing agreement (the “Agreement”) with the Advisor, under which the Funds may pay servicing fees at an annual rate of 0.25% of the average daily net assets of each class. Payments to the Advisor under the Agreement may reimburse the Advisor for payments it makes to selected brokers, dealers and administrators which have entered into service agreements with the Advisor for services provided to shareholders of the Funds. The services provided by such intermediaries are primarily designed to assist shareholders of the Funds and include the furnishing of office space and equipment, telephone facilities, personnel and assistance to the Funds in servicing such shareholders.

As a transition rule, the Act requires that postenactment net capital losses be used before pre-enactment net capital losses.

Approval of Investment Advisory Agreement
(Unaudited)

At a meeting held on December 4-6, 2012, the Board, including all the persons who are Independent Trustees as defined under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, considered and approved the continuance of the Advisory Agreement for the O’Shaughnessy All Cap Core Fund, O’Shaughnessy Enhanced Dividend Fund and O’Shaughnessy Small/Mid Cap Growth Fund, each of which recently commenced operations , and the O’Shaughnessy Global Equity Fund, O’Shaughnessy International Equity Fund and O’Shaughnessy Tactical Asset Allocation Fund, each of which had not yet commenced operations at the time of this meeting (the “Funds”), with O’Shaughnessy Asset Management, LLC (the “Advisor”) for another annual term.  At this meeting, and at a prior meeting held on October 24-25, 2012, the Board received and reviewed substantial information regarding the Funds, the Advisor and the services provided by the Advisor to the Funds under the Advisory Agreement.  This information, together with the information provided to the Board throughout the course of the year, formed the primary (but not exclusive) basis for the Board’s determinations.  Below is a summary of the factors considered by the Board and the conclusions that formed the basis for the Board’s continuance of the Advisory Agreement:
 
1.
THE NATURE, EXTENT AND QUALITY OF THE SERVICES PROVIDED AND TO BE PROVIDED BY THE ADVISOR UNDER THE ADVISORY AGREEMENT.  The Board considered the Advisor’s specific responsibilities in all aspects of day-to-day investment management of the Funds. The Board considered the qualifications, experience and responsibilities of the portfolio managers, as well as the responsibilities of other key personnel of the Advisor involved in the day-to-day activities of the Funds.  The Board also considered the resources and compliance structure of the Advisor, including information regarding its compliance program, its chief compliance officer and the Advisor’s compliance record, and the Advisor’s business continuity plan.  The Board also considered its knowledge of the Advisor’s operations, and noted that during the course of the prior year they had met with the Advisor to discuss various marketing and compliance topics, including the Advisor’s diligence in risk oversight.  The Board concluded that the Advisor had the quality and depth of personnel, resources, investment methods and compliance policies and procedures essential to performing its duties under the Advisory Agreements and that the nature, overall quality, cost and extent of such management services are satisfactory.
   
2.
THE FUNDS’ HISTORICAL PERFORMANCE AND THE OVERALL PERFORMANCE OF THE ADVISOR.  In assessing the quality of the portfolio management delivered by the Advisor, the Board reviewed the performance of the Funds as of August 31, 2012 on both an absolute basis, and in comparison to both benchmarks and their peer funds as classified by Lipper and Morningstar.  While the Board considered performance over both short and long term periods, it placed less emphasis on very short term performance and greater emphasis on longer term performance.  When reviewing performance against the comparative peer group universe, the Board took into account that the investment objective and strategies of the Funds, as well as their level of risk tolerance, may differ significantly from funds in the peer universe.  In reviewing the performance of the Funds, the Board took into account that the O’Shaughnessy All Cap Core Fund, O’Shaughnessy Enhanced Dividend Fund and O’Shaughnessy Small/Mid Cap Growth Fund were each newer, with less than three full years of performance history, and that the O’Shaughnessy Global Equity Fund, O’Shaughnessy International Equity Fund and O’Shaughnessy Tactical Asset Allocation Fund had each not yet commenced operations.
   
 
O’Shaughnessy All Cap Core Fund:  The Board noted that the O’Shaughnessy All Cap Core Fund’s performance, with regard to its Lipper and Morningstar comparative universes, was above its peer group median and Lipper Index (with respect to the Lipper comparative universe) or average (with respect to the Morningstar comparative universe) for the year-to-date, one-year and since inception periods, and below its peer group median and Lipper Index or average for the three-month period.
   
 
The Board also considered any differences in performance between similarly managed accounts and the performance of the O’Shaughnessy All Cap Core Fund and reviewed the performance of the Fund against broad-based securities market benchmarks.
   
 
O’Shaughnessy Enhanced Dividend Fund:  The Board noted that the O’Shaughnessy Enhanced Dividend Fund’s performance, with regard to its Lipper comparative universe, was above its peer group median and
 

 
54

 
 
O’Shaughnessy Mutual Funds


Approval of Investment Advisory Agreement (Continued)
(Unaudited)
 
 
Lipper Index for the three-month period, above its Lipper Index but below its peer group median for the since inception period, and below its peer group median and Lipper Index for the year-to-date and one-year periods.  The Board noted that the Fund’s performance, with regard to its Morningstar comparative universe, was above its peer group median and average for the three-month and since inception periods, and below its peer group median and average for the year-to-date and one-year periods.
   
 
The Board also considered any differences in performance between similarly managed accounts and the performance of the O’Shaughnessy Enhanced Dividend Fund and reviewed the performance of the Fund against broad-based securities market benchmarks.
   
 
O’Shaughnessy Small/Mid Cap Growth Fund:  The Board noted that the O’Shaughnessy Small/Mid Cap Growth Fund’s performance, with regard to its Lipper and Morningstar comparative universes, was above its peer group median and Lipper Index (with respect to the Lipper comparative universe) or average (with respect to the Morningstar comparative universe) for the three-month and year-to-date periods, and below its peer group median and Lipper Index or average for the one-year and since inception periods.
   
 
The Board also considered any differences in performance between similarly managed accounts and the performance of the O’Shaughnessy Small/Mid Cap Growth Fund and reviewed the performance of the Fund against a broad-based securities market benchmark.
   
3.
THE COSTS OF THE SERVICES TO BE PROVIDED BY THE ADVISOR AND THE STRUCTURE OF THE ADVISOR’S FEE UNDER THE ADVISORY AGREEMENT.  In considering the appropriateness of the advisory fee, the Board considered the level of the fee itself as well as the total fees and expenses of the Funds.  The Board reviewed information as to fees and expenses of advisers and funds within the relevant Lipper peer funds as well as fees charged by the Advisor to other similarly managed accounts.  When reviewing fees charged to other similarly managed accounts, the Board took into account the type of account and the differences in the management of that account that might be germane to the difference, if any, in the fees charged to such accounts.
   
 
O’Shaughnessy All Cap Core Fund:  The Board noted that the Advisor had contractually agreed to maintain an expense limitation for the Fund of 1.24% for the Class A shares, 1.99% for the Class C shares and 0.99% for the Class I shares (respectively, the “Expense Caps”).  The Board noted that the Fund’s total expense ratio was above its peer group median and average for Class A and Class C shares, but below its peer group median and average for Class I shares.  Additionally, the Board considered that when the Fund’s peer group was adjusted to include only funds with similar asset sizes, the total expense ratio for the Class A and Class I shares was below the average, and the total expense ratio for the Class C shares was above the average, of this segment of its peer group.  The Board also noted that the Fund’s contractual advisory fee was below its peer group median and average, and that after advisory fee waivers and the reimbursement of Fund expenses necessary to maintain the Expense Caps, the net advisory fees received by the Advisor from the Fund during the most recent fiscal period were substantially less than the peer group median and average.  The Board also took into consideration the services the Advisor provided to its separately managed account clients, comparing the fees charged for those management services to the management fees charged to the Fund.  The Board found that the management fees charged to the Fund were in line with the fees charged to the Advisor’s separately managed account clients.  As a result, the Trustees noted that the Fund’s expenses and advisory fee were not outside the range of its peer group.
   
 
O’Shaughnessy Enhanced Dividend Fund:  The Board noted that the Advisor had contractually agreed to maintain an expense limitation for the Fund of 1.24% for the Class A shares, 1.99% for the Class C shares and 0.99% for the Class I shares (respectively, the “Expense Caps”).  The Board noted that the Fund’s total expense ratio was above its peer group median and average for Class C shares, as well as the average of the Fund’s peer group when adjusted to include only funds with similar asset sizes, but below its peer group median and average for Class A and Class I shares, as well as the average of the Fund’s peer group when adjusted to include only funds with similar asset sizes.  The Board also noted that the Fund’s contractual advisory fee was below its peer group median and average and that after advisory fee waivers and the

(Unaudited)
 
 
reimbursement of Fund expenses necessary to maintain the Expense Caps, the Advisor received no contractual advisory fee from the Fund during the most recent fiscal period.  The Board also took into consideration the services the Advisor provided to its separately managed account clients, comparing the fees charged for those management services to the management fees charged to the Fund.  The Board found that the management fees charged to the Fund were in line with the fees charged to the Advisor’s separately managed account clients.  As a result, the Trustees noted that the Fund’s expenses and advisory fee were not outside the range of its peer group.
   
 
O’Shaughnessy Small/Mid Cap Growth Fund:  The Board noted that the Advisor had contractually agreed to maintain an expense limitation for the Fund of 1.44% for the Class A shares and 1.19% for the Class I shares (respectively, the “Expense Caps”).  The Board noted that the Fund’s total expense ratio was above its peer group median and average for Class A shares, but below its peer group median and average for Class I shares.  Additionally, the Board considered that when the Fund’s peer group was adjusted to include only funds with similar asset sizes, the total expense ratio for the Class A and Class I shares was below the average of this segment of its peer group.  The Board also noted that the Fund’s contractual advisory fee was below its peer group median and average, and that after advisory fee waivers and the reimbursement of Fund expenses necessary to maintain the Expense Caps, the Advisor received no contractual advisory fee from the Fund during the most recent fiscal period.  The Board also took into consideration the services the Advisor provided to its separately managed account clients, comparing the fees charged for those management services to the management fees charged to the Fund.  The Board found that the management fees charged to the Fund were in line with the fees charged to the Advisor’s separately managed account clients.  As a result, the Trustees noted that the Fund’s expenses and advisory fee were not outside the range of its peer group.
   
 
O’Shaughnessy Global Equity Fund:  The Board noted that the Advisor had contractually agreed to maintain an expense limitation for the Fund of 1.44% for the Class A shares and 1.19% for the Class I shares (respectively, the “Expense Caps”).  The Board noted that the Fund’s estimated total expense ratio was above its peer group median and average for Class A shares, but below its peer group median and average for Class I shares.  The Board also noted that the Fund’s contractual advisory fee was above its peer group average but below its peer group median.  The Board also took into consideration the services the Advisor provided to its separately managed account clients, comparing the fees charged for those management services to the management fees to be charged to the Fund.  The Board found that the management fees to be charged to the Fund were in line with the fees charged to the Advisor’s separately managed account clients.  As a result, the Trustees noted that the Fund’s expenses and advisory fee were not outside the range of its peer group.
   
 
O’Shaughnessy International Equity Fund:  The Board noted that the Advisor had contractually agreed to maintain an expense limitation for the Fund of 1.44% for the Class A shares and 1.19% for the Class I shares (respectively, the “Expense Caps”).  The Board noted that the Fund’s estimated total expense ratio was above its peer group median and average for Class A shares, and below its peer group median and average for Class I shares.  The Board also noted that the Fund’s contractual advisory fee was below its peer group median and average.  The Board also took into consideration the services the Advisor provided to its separately managed account clients, comparing the fees charged for those management services to the management fees to be charged to the Fund.  The Board found that the management fees to be charged to the Fund were in line with the fees charged to the Advisor’s separately managed account clients.  As a result, the Trustees noted that the Fund’s expenses and advisory fee were not outside the range of its peer group.
   
 
O’Shaughnessy Tactical Asset Allocation Fund:  The Board noted that the Advisor had contractually agreed to maintain an expense limitation for the Fund of 1.44% for the Class A shares, 2.19% for the Class C shares and 1.19% for the Class I shares (respectively, the “Expense Caps”).  The Board noted that the Fund’s estimated total expense ratio was above its peer group median and average for Class A and Class C shares, but below its peer group median and average for Class I shares.  The Board also noted that the Fund’s contractual advisory fee was above its peer group median and average.  The Board also took into consideration the services the Advisor provided to its separately managed account clients, comparing the fees

charged for those management services to the management fees to be charged to the Fund.  The Board found that the management fees to be charged to the Fund were in line with the fees charged to the Advisor’s separately managed account clients.  As a result, the Trustees noted that the Fund’s expenses and advisory fee were not outside the range of its peer group.
   
4.
ECONOMIES OF SCALE.  The Board also considered that economies of scale would be expected to be realized by the Advisor as the assets of the Funds grow.  In this regard, the Board noted that the Advisor has agreed to reduce its advisory fees or reimburse Fund expenses so that the Funds do not exceed the Expense Caps.  The Board concluded that there were no effective economies of scale to be shared with the Funds at current asset levels, but considered revisiting this issue in the future as circumstances changed and asset levels increased.
   
5.
THE PROFITS TO BE REALIZED BY THE ADVISOR AND ITS AFFILIATES FROM THEIR RELATIONSHIP WITH THE FUND. The Board reviewed the Advisor’s financial information and took into account both the direct benefits and the indirect benefits to the Advisor from advising the Funds, such as benefits received in the form of Rule 12b-1 fees. The Board also considered that the Funds do not utilize “soft dollars.”  The Board considered the profitability to the Advisor from its relationship with the Funds and considered any additional benefits derived by the Advisor from its relationship with the Funds.  After such review, the Board determined that the profitability to the Advisor with respect to the Advisory Agreement was not excessive, and that the Advisor had maintained adequate resources and profit levels to support the services it provides to the Funds.
 
No single factor was determinative of the Board’s decision to approve the continuance of the Advisory Agreement for the Funds, but rather the Board based its determination on the total mix of information available to them.  Based on a consideration of all the factors in their totality, the Board determined that the advisory arrangement with the Advisor, including the advisory fees, were fair and reasonable.  The Board therefore determined that the continuance of the Advisory Agreement for the Funds would be in the best interest of the Funds and their shareholders.
