All Cap Core Fund
 
For the fiscal year ended July 31, 2013, the All Cap Core Fund had an historically average year, with Class A shares returning 26.74% (without the effect of sales charges), Class C shares returning 25.77% and Class I shares returning 26.93%, while the Russell 3000® Index returned 26.86% and the S&P 500® Index returned 25.00% for the same period.
 
Over the course of the fiscal year, growth stocks led value stocks and small cap stocks beat large cap stocks – and the Fund performed in line with its benchmarks.  Several positions were detractors from performance, including Intel Corporation and Hewlett-Packard Co., whose returns were negative for the year.  Performance was boosted, however, by several overweights to specialty retail stocks such as Home Depot, Inc. and Gap, Inc., which both did extremely well over the course of the year. Performance was also boosted by positions in Wynn Resorts Ltd., Pfizer, Inc. and Assurant, Inc.
 
Based on our key factors of high yield, attractive valuation, and high momentum, the Fund was hurt by stock selection in the Industrials and Information Technology sectors. The Fund was helped by stock selection in the Consumer Discretionary 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 are less successful. 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
 
For the fiscal year ended July 31, 2013, the Enhanced Dividend Fund underperformed its benchmarks, with Class A shares returning 15.11% (without the effect of sales charges), Class C shares returning 14.23% and Class I shares returning 15.52%, while the MSCI All Country World Index returned 20.50% and the Russell 1000 Value® Index returned 30.73% for the same period.
 
Over the course of the fiscal year, small cap stocks beat large stocks and U.S. stocks did much better than international stocks.  High yielding stocks had a weak year.  Because the Enhanced Dividend Fund emphasizes value stocks with high yields, the Fund underperformed the MSCI All Country World Index during the period.  Because of its underweight to the U.S. and emphasis on international high yielding stocks, the Fund significantly underperformed the Russell 1000 Value® Index.
 
The Fund was helped by allocations to Telstra Corporation in Australia, Total SA in France, and Sun Life Financial, Inc., all of which did well for the year. The main detractors from return were holdings in Yanzhou Coal Mining Co., Orange SA, Cliffs Natural Resources, Inc., and Telefonica Brasil.
 
Selecting securities based on high yield led to a very substantial overweight in the Telecommunications sector, with an average weight of 35.4% versus an average benchmark weight of just 4.7%.  Our allocation to the sector did help returns for the year and we continue to see strong opportunities in the sector.
 
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
 
For the fiscal year ended July 31, 2013, the Small/Mid Cap Growth Fund underperformed slightly with Class A shares returning 32.48% (without the effect of sales charges) and Class I shares returning 32.75%, while the Russell 2500 Growth® Index returned 34.55% for the same period.
 
Over the course of the fiscal year, growth stocks led value stocks and small cap stocks beat large cap stocks.  The Small/Mid Cap Growth Fund has a high exposure to smaller cap stocks with high momentum, and it underperformed its benchmark, the Russell 2500 Growth® Index.

O’Shaughnessy Mutual Funds

  
Based on the our key factors of reasonable valuation, strong earnings growth and strong momentum, the Fund was particularly hurt in the Industrial and Health Care sectors, where stock selection was weak and caused the majority of the Fund’s underperformance relative to the benchmark for the period.  In particular, positions in Dollar Tree, Inc. and Monster Beverage Corporation dragged on performance.  The main positive contribution to return came from holdings such as Charter Communications, Inc., Landec Corporation, and Eagle Materials, Inc.
 
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 lead to underperformance versus the benchmark. 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
 
Stock returns for the fiscal quarter ended July 31, 2013 were very strong in the U.S. and strong in the rest of the world.  The U.S. has continued its economic recovery, with GDP (Gross Domestic Product) growing and unemployment following.  Sequestration has been forgotten, home prices are rising, and the Dow Jones Economic Sentiment Indicator is at its highest level since July 2007. The news that the Federal Reserve may wind down its quantitative easing efforts finally trigger the “great rotation” trade that had been expected for nearly a year.  In June alone, as the U.S. Government Daily Treasury Yield Curve 10-year rate rose from 2.13 to 2.52, roughly $80 billion left bond mutual funds and ETFs1.  That is a monthly outflow of nearly twice the previous monthly record at the height of the crisis in 2008. We expect this aggressive trade out of bonds to continue as rates stabilize to more normal historical levels, and as a result equity flows will likely be significantly positive.
 
Equity market valuations are not exciting for most broad market indices, including the S&P 500® Index, due in large part to the positive sentiment that has driven the market up. But opportunities remain for us to pick high quality stocks trading at discounts to their peers and the overall market. It is vitally important to have portfolios different from the market as it becomes more expensive, so we believe high active share portfolios that emphasize proven characteristics like quality, valuation, momentum and yield stand to do very well in the year to come.
 
We believe that incrementally using any cash to buy stocks with cheap valuations, high yields, and/or strong momentum is the best course of action for the O’Shaughnessy All Cap Core Fund, the O’Shaughnessy Enhanced Dividend Fund, and the O’Shaughnessy Small/Mid Cap Growth Fund.

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.
 
Fund holdings and sector allocations are subject to change at any time and are not recommendations to buy or sell any security. Please read the Schedules of Investments for a complete list of fund holdings.

Expense Example
at July 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 (2/1/13 – 7/31/13).
 
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 July 31, 2013

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.
 
 
For the year ended July 31, 2013, the Funds made the following permanent tax adjustments on the statements of assets and liabilities:
 
    Undistributed   Accumulated          
    Net Investment   Net Realized          
    Income/(Loss)   Gain/(Loss)   Paid-in Capital  
 
All Cap Core Fund
  $       $       $    
 
Enhanced Dividend Fund
    19,348         2,821         (22,169 )  
 
Small/Mid Cap Growth Fund
    4,125         (4,125 )          
 
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 year ended July 31, 2013, the Funds retained redemption fees as follows:
 
    Class A   Class C   Class I  
 
All Cap Core Fund
  $ 1,112       $ 117       $ 4,498    
 
Enhanced Dividend Fund
    3,036         109         3,061    
 
Small/Mid Cap Growth Fund
    168         N/A         31    
 
G.
REITs:  The Small/Mid Cap Growth Fund has made certain investments in real estate investment trusts (“REITs”) which pay dividends to their shareholders based upon funds available from operations.  It is quite common for these dividends to exceed the REIT’s taxable earnings and profits resulting in the excess portion of such dividends being designated as a return of capital.  The Fund intends to include the gross dividends from such REITs in their annual distributions to its shareholders and, accordingly, a portion of the Fund’s distributions may also be designated as a return of capital.
 
H.
Events Subsequent to the Fiscal Year End:  In preparing the financial statements as of July 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.

Notes to Financial Statements (Continued)
at July 31, 2013

NOTE 3 – SECURITIES VALUATION (Continued)
 
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 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 July 31, 2013:

New Accounting Pronouncement:  In January 2013, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standard Update (“ASU”) No. 2013-01 Clarifying the Scope of Disclosures about Offsetting Assets and Liabilities. This update gives additional clarification to the FASB ASU No. 2011-11 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 2013-01 will have on the financial statement disclosures.

NOTE 4 – INVESTMENT ADVISORY FEE AND OTHER TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES
 
For the year ended July 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 year ended July 31, 2013, the All Cap Core Fund, Enhanced Dividend Fund, and Small/Mid Cap Growth Fund incurred $555,645, $368,426, and $51,793 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
    1.24 %     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 year ended July 31, 2013, the Advisor recouped $173,536 in previously waived expenses for the All Cap Core Fund. For the year ended July 31, 2013, the Advisor reduced its fees in the amount of $58,134 and $146,974 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:
 
   
2014
     
2015
     
2016
     
Total
   
All Cap Core Fund

Small/Mid Cap Growth Fund
    215,195         188,615         146,974         550,784    
 
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.

Payments made pursuant to the Plan will represent compensation for distribution and service activities, not reimbursements for specific expenses incurred. For the year ended July 31, 2013, the Funds paid the Distributor as follows:
 
   
Class A
     
Class C
   
All Cap Core Fund

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. Services provided by such intermediaries also include the provision of support services to the Funds and include establishing and maintaining shareholders’ accounts and record processing, purchase and redemption transactions, answering routine client inquiries regarding the Funds, and providing such other personal services to shareholders as the Funds may reasonably request. For the year ended July 31, 2013, the All Cap Core Fund, Enhanced Dividend Fund, and Small/Mid Cap Growth did not accrue shareholder servicing fees.

Total accumulated earnings/(losses)
  $ 27,287,506     $ 2,972,949     $ 2,807,369  
 
(a)
The difference between book-basis and tax-basis cost and net unrealized appreciation is attributable primarily to the tax deferral of losses on wash sales adjustments.
 
At July 31, 2013, the Enhanced Dividend Fund had short-term capital loss carryforwards of $386,589, which may be carried forward indefinitely to offset future gains.
 
Under the Regulated Investment Company Modernization Act of 2010 (the “Act”), net capital losses recognized after December 31, 2010, may be carried forward indefinitely, and their character is retained as short-term and/or long-term losses. Under the law in effect prior to the Act, preenactment net capital losses were carried forward for eight years and treated as short-term losses. As a transition rule, the Act requires that postenactment net capital losses be used before pre-enactment net capital losses.

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 July 31, 2013, by correspondence with the custodian and brokers.  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 O’Shaughnessy All Cap Core Fund, O’Shaughnessy Enhanced Dividend Fund, and O’Shaughnessy Small/Mid Cap Fund as of July 31, 2013, the results of their operations for the year then ended, the change in their net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended and their financial highlights for each of the two years in the period then ended  and for the period August 16, 2010 to July 31, 2011, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Item 2. Code of Ethics.

The registrant has adopted a code of ethics that applies to the registrant’s principal executive officer and principal financial officer.  The registrant has not made any amendments to its code of ethics during the period covered by this report.  The registrant has not granted any waivers from any provisions of the code of ethics during the period covered by this report.

A copy of the registrant’s Code of Ethics is filed herewith.

Item 3. Audit Committee Financial Expert.

The registrant’s Board of Trustees has determined that it does not have an audit committee financial expert serving on its audit committee.  At this time, the registrant believes that the business experience and financial literacy provided by each member of the audit committee collectively offers the registrant adequate oversight given the registrant’s level of financial complexity.

Item 4. Principal Accountant Fees and Services.

The registrant has engaged its principal accountant to perform audit services, audit-related services, tax services and other services during the past two fiscal years.  “Audit services” refer to performing an audit of the registrant's annual financial statements or services that are normally provided by the accountant in connection with statutory and regulatory filings or engagements for those fiscal years.  “Audit-related services” refer to the assurance and related services by the principal accountant that are reasonably related to the performance of the audit.  “Tax services” refer to professional services rendered by the principal accountant for tax compliance, tax advice, and tax planning.  There were no “other services” provided by the principal accountant.  The following table details the aggregate fees billed or expected to be billed for each of the last two fiscal years for audit fees, audit-related fees, tax fees and other fees by the principal accountant.

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 billed or 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.
