MARKET COMMENTARY

Never a Dull Moment: 2015 and the first quarter of 2016 were "full of sound and fury signifying nothing." The Dow Jones Industrial Average Index ended 2015 down 2.23%, losing ground for the first time since 2008 while the S&P 500 (excluding dividends) fell less than 1% to break its own three-year winning streak. Despite going essentially nowhere on the year, the S&P 500 proved to be volatile as it moved up or down one percent or more in 72 sessions. That’s the largest number of one percent moves since 2011.

A similar story played out in the first quarter of 2016. Despite modest gains for the quarter, 2016 started off with the worst first two weeks in market history. By early February, the S&P 500 declined more than 10% with the smaller cap Russell 2000^¨ Index down over 16%.

Throughout this rocky ride existed a starker than usual contrast between the "haves" and the "have nots." The S&P 500 Growth Index crushed the S&P 500 Value Index in 2015 by a whopping 9.34%. Momentum names were investor darlings with the affectionately named FANG stocks (Facebook, Inc., Amazon.com, Inc., Netflix, Inc., and Google, Inc., now known as Alphabet Inc.) up an average of nearly 83%. By comparison, the Dow Jones Transportation Average, often a leading economic indicator, was down nearly 18%, the Value Line Geometric Rails Index was down nearly 29%, and the average stock in the S&P 500 was down more than 3%. In fact, more than one fifth of the stocks in the S&P 500 lost more than 20% in 2015 with over half of these losing more than 30%. When stocks with cute nicknames trading at over 300 times earnings leap higher while most stocks are negative, it is not a healthy market. For our part, we ignored the hype and instead used the opportunity to add high quality companies to our portfolios.

Flight to perceived "Safety": With interest rates held near zero since 2009, investors continue to favor bond proxies found in the Utilities and Consumer Staples sectors. This has resulted in significant outperformance for these sectors over the past several years.

Sector Performance – Five Year Annualized

(3/31/2011 – 3/31/2016)

This flight to perceived "safety" coupled with the ongoing hunt for yield has pushed valuations for Utilities and Consumer Staples to numbers rarely seen. Utilities have been cheaper 88% of the time since 1990 while Consumer Staples have been cheaper a staggering 99% of the time.

Current P/E vs. History (Since 1990)		Earnings Growth (1990-2015)

Data as of 2/12/2016

While utility companies may be considered "safe" given their historically highly predictable, recurring revenues, utility stocks are not necessarily safe at these valuation levels. These stocks have a history of dropping precipitously when the markets think rates are about to rise or when investors develop an appetite for more risk. For example, in early 2015 when 10-year treasury yields went from 1.7% to 2.5%, Utilities

SCHARF FUNDS

fell over 12% while the S&P 500 gained over 5%. This sensitivity to rates combined with current valuations could put Utilities at risk for future sharp declines.

We believe that similar risks exist for Consumer Staples stocks which are currently trading above their historical median high price to earnings ("P/E"). While we look for stocks that have a 3-to-1 favorability ratio (i.e. 30% upside to the median high P/E compared to 10% downside to the median low P/E), as of March 31, 2016, the S&P 500 Consumer Staples Index was priced such that it had 4% downside to its median high and 22% downside to its median low.

Finding Opportunities in a Stretched Market: Despite historically high valuations for many sectors, there are several pockets where we have been finding opportunities. Health Care, one of the top 3 represented sectors in our portfolios, has only been less expensive 25% of the time since 1990. Despite this discounted valuation, the Health Care sector has enjoyed EPS growth of 10% compounded annually over the last 25 years, compared to only 2% for Utilities and 7% for Consumer Staples. Stocks in the Consumer Discretionary and Information Technology sectors have also been trading at below average multiples. When looking at data back to 1990, Consumer Discretionary stocks have only been cheaper 25% of the time and Information Technology stocks have only been cheaper 30% of the time. The Scharf Fund, Scharf Balanced Opportunity Fund, Scharf Global Opportunity Fund, and Scharf Alpha Opportunity Fund are all positioned to potentially take advantage of these opportunities, with over 60% of each Fund’s common stock portfolios allocated across these three sectors.

INVESTMENT STRATEGY

Several pundits have recently predicted the next recession (and bear market) is just around the corner. Will 2016 bring the U.S. its first recession since 2008? Based on historical economic cycles we are approximately 2 years overdue. The recent dip in industrial production, oil prices under pressure, and ongoing weakness in exports coupled with global economic problems signal a potential impending recession. The Dow Transports recently falling into bear market territory is another bad omen. On the other hand, the service sector continues to grow, vehicle and housing sales remain robust, and jobless claims remain near multi-year lows. While the chances of recession are higher than they have been in a while, a recession in 2016 is far from guaranteed.

As for the markets, the current bull market has lasted twice as long as average with a return of nearly twice the average as well. We have been cautious for some time. In our 2014 semi-annual letter, we noted that "current valuations may leave limited room for future appreciation." With the Value Line appreciation potential near 30-year lows, we warned that returns for the Value Line Arithmetic Index would likely be negative over the next twelve months and subpar over the next five years. Hence, we told investors "to be fearful when others are being greedy."

SCHARF FUNDS

Now, approximately two years later, valuations have improved. At 17 times earnings throughout much of the first quarter the Value Line median has come down from 19 times. It does however remain above its average of roughly 15 times since 1980 and well above the 10 times multiple reached in March 2009. Thus, while we have been finding more opportunities, it is not yet time to "be greedy when others are fearful."

While we are always mindful of how economic conditions and current events impact companies, macroeconomic forecasts are not the primary consideration in our decision-making process. We focus the bulk of our energies on fundamental research and independent company analysis to identify securities which we believe are trading at significant discounts to fair value. We use a bottom-up, valuation-oriented strategy because stocks with low valuation ratios have historically outperformed stocks with higher valuation ratios over the long term. By purchasing securities when they appear to be at a discount to fair value, we also hope to mitigate potential downside risk. In addition, the firm maintains a limited number of portfolios, favoring quality over quantity. We focus only on our best ideas as we believe owning too many stocks is counterproductive to enhancing risk/reward. Finally, we are style box agnostic and search for compelling investments in companies large and small, foreign and domestic. To that end, we are optimistic about the current portfolios and believe the Funds are well positioned for long-term investors.

Recent Health Care purchase McKesson Corporation ("McKesson") represents one such example. As the largest of only 3 main drug distributors, McKesson holds a dominant market position in a critical industry. Recent customer consolidation led to isolated contract losses which triggered a 30% decline from the stock’s 52-week high, allowing us to enter the position at what we consider a very attractive favorability ratio. As shown below, McKesson recently traded below its median low with 54% upside to its median high. The company’s scale and increasingly diversified revenue base underpin a stable growth profile helped by increasing drug demand and an acceleration in the specialty pharmaceutical market. McKesson has strong cash flow with a history of share buybacks that have helped propel 10-year earnings per share ("EPS") growth of 18%.

Mutual fund investing involves risk. Principal loss is possible. The Scharf Global Opportunity Fund and the Scharf Alpha Opportunity Fund are non-diversified, meaning they may concentrate their assets in fewer individual holdings than a diversified fund. Therefore, the Funds are more

SCHARF FUNDS

exposed to volatility than a diversified fund. Diversification does not assure a profit, nor does it protect against a loss in a declining market. The Funds may invest in securities representing equity or debt. These securities may be issued by small- and medium-sized companies, which involve additional risks such as limited liquidity and greater volatility. The Funds may invest in foreign securities which involve greater volatility, political, economic and currency risks, and differences in accounting methods. These risks are greater for emerging markets. The Funds may invest in exchange-traded fund ("ETFs") or mutual funds, the risks of owning either generally reflecting the risks of owning the underlying securities held by the ETF or mutual fund. The Funds follow an investment style that favors relatively low valuations. Investment in debt securities typically decrease in value when interest rates rise. This risk is usually greater for longer-term debt securities. Investment in lower-rated, non-rated and distressed securities presents a greater risk of loss to principal and interest than higher-rated securities. The Scharf Alpha Opportunity Fund may make short sales of securities, which involves the risk that losses may exceed the original amount invested. The Scharf Alpha Opportunity Fund may use leverage which may exaggerate the effect of any increase or decrease in the value of portfolio securities or the net asset value of the Fund, and money borrowed will be subject to interest costs.

EXPENSE EXAMPLES at March 31, 2016 (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. The Scharf Fund, Scharf Balanced Opportunity Fund, Scharf Global Opportunity Fund, and the Scharf Alpha Opportunity Fund are no-load mutual funds. These Examples are 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 in the Scharf Fund, the Scharf Balanced Opportunity Fund Institutional Class, and the Scharf Global Opportunity Fund (10/1/15-3/31/16). The Scharf Balanced Opportunity Fund Retail Class and the Scharf Alpha Opportunity Fund Examples are based on an investment of $1,000 invested at their inception on January 21, 2016 and December 31, 2015, respectively, and held through March 31, 2016.

Actual Expenses

The first line of each table below provides information about actual account values and actual expenses, with actual net expenses being limited. Per the operating expense limitation agreement, the actual net expenses are being limited to 1.09% and 1.34% for the Scharf Fund Institutional Class and Retail Class, respectively, and 1.00% for the Scharf Alpha Opportunity Fund. Effective January 21, 2016, the actual net expenses are being limited to 1.05% and 1.30% for the Scharf Balanced Opportunity Fund Institutional Class and Retail Class, respectively, and 0.65% for the Scharf Global Opportunity Fund. Prior to January 21, 2016, the Scharf Balanced Opportunity Fund Institutional Class and the Scharf Global Opportunity Fund actual net expenses were limited to 1.20% and 0.50%, respectively. Although the Funds charge 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 Funds’ transfer agent. The Examples below include, but are not limited to, management fees, fund accounting, custody and transfer agent fees. You may use the information in the first line of the tables, 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 each table below provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Funds’ actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Funds’ actual

SCHARF FUNDS

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 tables 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 transaction costs, such as sales charges (loads), redemption fees, or exchange fees.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS at March 31, 2016 (Unaudited)

NOTE 1 – ORGANIZATION

The Scharf Fund, the Scharf Balanced Opportunity Fund, the Scharf Global Opportunity Fund, and the Scharf Alpha Opportunity Fund (each a "Fund" and collectively, the "Funds") are each a series of Advisors Series Trust (the "Trust"), which is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, (the "1940 Act") as an open-end management investment company. The Scharf Fund and the Scharf Balanced Opportunity Fund are diversified, while the Scharf Global Opportunity Fund and the Scharf Alpha Opportunity Fund are non-diversified. The Funds follow the investment company accounting and reporting guidance of the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") Accounting Standard Codification Topic 946 "Financial Services – Investment Companies".

The investment objective of the Scharf Fund and the Scharf Global Opportunity Fund is to seek long-term capital appreciation. The investment objective of the Scharf Balanced Opportunity Fund is to seek long-term capital appreciation and income. The investment objective of the Scharf Alpha Opportunity Fund is to seek long-term capital appreciation and to provide returns above inflation while exposing investors to less volatility than typical equity investments. The Scharf Fund Institutional Class and Retail Class commenced operations on December 30, 2011 and January 28, 2015, respectively. The Scharf Balanced Opportunity Fund Institutional Class (formerly Investor Class) and Retail Class commenced operations on December 31, 2012 and January 21, 2016, respectively.

The Scharf Global Opportunity Fund commenced operations on October 14, 2014. The initial purchase into the Fund included a transfer in-kind of securities and cash. The transfer in-kind was nontaxable. The Fund issued 419,054 shares on October 14, 2014. The fair value and cost of securities received by the Fund was $7,814,245 and $6,536,468, respectively. In addition, the Fund received $2,243,043 of cash. For financial reporting purposes, assets received and shares issued by the Fund were recorded at fair value; however, the cost basis of the investments received was carried forward to align ongoing reporting of the Fund’s realized and unrealized gains and losses with amounts distributable to shareholders for tax purposes.

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 tax positions of the Scharf Fund and the Scharf Balanced Opportunity Fund and has concluded that no liability for unrecognized tax benefits should be recorded related to uncertain tax positions taken on returns filed for the open tax years 2013-2015, or expected to be taken in the Funds’ 2016 tax returns. Management has analyzed the Scharf Global Opportunity 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 the open tax year 2015, or expected to be taken in the Fund’s 2016 tax returns. Management has analyzed the Scharf Alpha Opportunity Fund’s tax positions, and has concluded that no liability for unrecognized tax benefits should be recorded related to uncertain tax positions expected to be taken in the Fund’s 2016 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.	Securities Transactions, Income and Distributions: Securities transactions are accounted for on the trade date. Realized gains and losses on securities sold are calculated on the basis of specified cost. Interest income is recorded on an accrual basis. Discounts and premiums on securities purchased are accreted/amortized over the life of the respective security using the effective interest method. 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 each Fund’s understanding of the applicable country’s tax rules and rates.

	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

SCHARF FUNDS

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS at March 31, 2016 (Unaudited), Continued

	classes of each 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. Common expenses of the Trust are typically allocated among the funds in the Trust based on a fund’s respective net assets, or by other equitable means.

	The Funds distribute substantially all net investment income, if any, and net realized capital gains, if any, annually. Distributions from net realized gains for book purposes may include short-term capital gains. All short-term capital gains are included in ordinary income for tax purposes.

	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.

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 Fees: The Scharf Fund charges a 2.00% redemption fee to shareholders who redeem shares held for 60 days or less. The Scharf Balanced Opportunity Fund, the Scharf Global Opportunity Fund, and the Scharf Alpha Opportunity Fund each charge a 2.00% redemption fee to shareholders who redeem shares held for 15 days or less. Such fees are retained by the Funds and accounted for as an addition to paid-in capital. During the period ended March 31, 2016, the Scharf Fund and the Scharf Balanced Opportunity Fund retained $12,845 and $1, respectively, in redemption fees.

G.	Foreign Securities: The Funds may invest in securities of foreign companies. Foreign economies may differ from the U.S. economy and individual foreign

SCHARF FUNDS

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS at March 31, 2016 (Unaudited), Continued

	companies may differ from domestic companies in the same industry. Foreign companies or entities are frequently not subject to accounting and financial reporting standards applicable to domestic companies, and there may be less information available about foreign issuers. Securities of foreign issuers are generally less liquid and more volatile than those of comparable domestic issuers. There is frequently less government regulation of broker-dealers and issuers than in the United States. In addition, investments in foreign countries are subject to the possibility of expropriation, confiscatory taxation, political or social instability or diplomatic developments that could adversely affect the value of those investments.

H.	Leverage and Short Sales: The Scharf Alpha Opportunity Fund may use leverage in connection with its investment activities and may affect short sales of securities. Leverage can increase the investment returns of the Fund if the securities purchased increase in value in an amount exceeding the cost of the borrowing. However, if the securities decrease in value, the Fund will suffer a greater loss than would have resulted without the use of leverage. A short sale is the sale by the Fund of a security which it does not own in anticipation of purchasing the same security in the future at a lower price to close the short position. A short sale will be successful if the price of the shorted security decreases. However, if the underlying security goes up in price during the period in which the short position is outstanding, the Fund will realize a loss. The risk on a short sale is unlimited because the Fund must buy the shorted security at the higher price to complete the transaction. Therefore, short sales may be subject to greater risks than investments in long positions.

	With a long position, the maximum sustainable loss is limited to the amount paid for the security plus the transaction costs, whereas there is no maximum attainable price of the shorted security. The Fund would also incur increased transaction costs associated with selling securities short. In addition, if the Fund sells securities short, it must maintain a segregated account with its custodian containing cash or high-grade securities equal to (i) the greater of the current market value of the securities sold short or the market value of such securities at the time they were sold short, less (ii) any collateral deposited with the Fund’s broker (not including the proceeds from the short sales). The Fund may be required to add to the segregated account as the market price of a shorted security increases. As a result of maintaining and adding to its segregated account, the Fund may maintain higher levels of cash or liquid assets (for example, U.S. Treasury bills, repurchase agreements, high quality commercial paper and long equity positions) for collateral needs thus reducing its overall managed assets available for trading purposes. In lieu of maintaining cash or

SCHARF FUNDS

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS at March 31, 2016 (Unaudited), Continued

	high-grade securities in a segregated account to cover the Fund’s short sale obligations, the Fund may earmark cash or high-grade securities on the Fund’s records or hold offsetting positions.

I.	Derivatives: The Funds have adopted the financial accounting reporting rules as required by the Derivatives and Hedging Topic of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification. The Funds are required to include enhanced disclosure that enables investors to understand how and why an entity uses derivatives, how derivatives are accounted for, and how derivative instruments affect an entity’s results of operations and financial position.

	The Funds may utilize options for hedging purposes as well as direct investment. Some options strategies, including buying puts, tend to hedge the Funds’ investments against price fluctuations. Other strategies, such as writing puts and calls and buying calls, tend to increase market exposure. Options contracts may be combined with each other in order to adjust the risk and return characteristics of each Fund’s overall strategy in a manner deemed appropriate to the Adviser and consistent with each Fund’s investment objective and policies. When a call or put option is written, an amount equal to the premium received is recorded as a liability. The liability is marked-to-market daily to reflect the current fair value of the written option. When a written option expires, a gain is realized in the amount of the premium originally received. If a closing purchase contract is entered into, a gain or loss is realized in the amount of the original premium less the cost of the closing transaction. If a written call option is exercised, a gain or loss is realized from the sale of the underlying security, and the proceeds from such sale are increased by the premium originally received. If a written put option is exercised, the amount of the premium originally received reduces the cost of the security which is purchased upon the exercise of the option.

	With options, there is minimal counterparty credit risk to the Funds since the options are covered or secured, which means that the Funds will own the underlying security or, to the extent they do not hold the security, will maintain liquid assets consisting of cash, short-term securities, or equity or debt securities equal to the market value of the security underlying the option, marked to market daily.

	Options purchased are recorded as investments and marked-to-market daily to reflect the current fair value of the option contract. If an option purchased expires, a loss is realized in the amount of the cost of the option contract. If a closing transaction is entered into, a gain or loss is realized to the extent that the proceeds from the sale are greater or less than the cost of the option. If a purchase put option is exercised, a gain or loss is realized from the sale of the underlying

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS at March 31, 2016 (Unaudited), Continued

	security by adjusting the proceeds from such sale by the amount of the premium originally paid. If a purchased call option is exercised, the cost of the security purchased upon exercise is increased by the premium originally paid.

	The Funds did not invest in derivative instruments during the period ended March 31, 2016.

J.	Events Subsequent to the Fiscal Period End: In preparing the financial statements as of March 31, 2016, 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 Funds’ own assumptions about the assumptions a market participant would use in valuing the asset or liability, and would be based on the best information available.

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.

Each Fund determines the fair value of its investments and computes its net asset value per share as of the close of regular trading on the New York Stock Exchange (4:00 pm EST).

Equity Securities: The Funds’ investments are carried at fair value. Equity securities, including common stocks, preferred stocks and exchange-traded funds, that are primarily traded on a national securities exchange shall be valued at the last sale price

SCHARF FUNDS

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS at March 31, 2016 (Unaudited), Continued

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.

Fixed Income Securities: Debt securities, such as corporate bonds, asset-backed securities, municipal bonds, and U.S. Government agency issues are valued at market on the basis of valuations furnished by an independent pricing service which utilizes both dealer-supplied valuations and formula-based techniques. The pricing service may consider recently executed transactions in securities of the issuer or comparable issuers, market price quotations (where observable), bond spreads, and fundamental data relating to the issuer. In addition, the model may incorporate market observable data such as reported sales of similar securities, broker quotes, yields, bids, offers, and reference data. Certain securities are valued principally using dealer quotations. These securities will generally be classified in level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.

Options: Exchange-traded options are valued at the composite price, using the National Best Bid and Offer quotes. Specifically, composite pricing looks at the last trades on the exchanges where the options are traded. If there are no trades for the option on a given business day, composite option pricing calculates the mean of the highest bid price and the lowest ask price across the exchanges where the option is traded. Exchange-traded options that are actively traded are categorized in level 1 of the fair value hierarchy.

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

The Board of Trustees (the "Board") has delegated day-to-day valuation issues to a Valuation Committee of the Trust which is comprised of representatives from U.S. Bancorp Fund Services, LLC, the Funds’ administrator. The function of the Valuation Committee is to value securities where current and reliable market quotations are not readily available or the closing price does not represent fair value by following procedures approved by the Board. These procedures consider many factors,

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS at March 31, 2016 (Unaudited), Continued

including the type of security, size of holding, trading volume and news events. All actions taken by the Valuation Committee are reviewed and ratified by the Board.

Depending on the relative significance of the valuation inputs, fair valued securities may be classified in either level 2 or level 3 of the fair value hierarchy.

The 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 March 31, 2016:

In May 2015, FASB issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") No. 2015-07 "Disclosure for Investments in Certain Entities that Calculate Net Asset Value ("NAV") per Share (or its equivalent)." The amendments in ASU No. 2015-07 remove the requirement to categorize within the fair value hierarchy investments measured using the NAV practical expedient. The ASU also removes certain disclosure requirements for investments that qualify, but do not utilize, the NAV practical expedient. The amendments in the ASU are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2015, and interim periods within those fiscal years. Management is currently evaluating the impact these changes will have on the Funds’ financial statements and related disclosures.

NOTE 4 – INVESTMENT ADVISORY FEE AND OTHER TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES

The Funds have an investment advisory agreement with Scharf Investments, LLC (the "Adviser") pursuant to which the Adviser is responsible for providing investment management services to the Funds. The Adviser furnished all investment advice, office space and facilities, and provides most of the personnel needed by each Fund. As compensation for its services, the Adviser is entitled to a fee, computed daily and payable monthly. The Funds pay fees calculated at an annual rate of 0.99% based upon the average daily net assets of each Fund. For the period ended March 31, 2016, Funds incurred the following in advisory fees:

	Advisory Fees
Scharf Fund	$	2,428,750
Scharf Balanced Opportunity Fund		248,006
Scharf Global Opportunity Fund		104,027
Scharf Alpha Opportunity Fund		20,310

The Funds are responsible for their own operating expenses. The Adviser has agreed to reduce fees payable to it by the Funds and to pay Fund operating expenses to the extent necessary to limit the Fund’s aggregate annual operating expenses (excluding acquired fund fees and expenses, interest expense, dividends on securities sold short, taxes and extraordinary expenses) to 1.09% and 1.34% per the operating expenses limitation agreement for the Institutional Class and Retail Class, respectively, of the Scharf Fund and 1.00% for the Scharf Alpha Opportunity Fund. Effective January 21, 2016, the actual net expenses are being limited to 1.05% and 1.30% for the Institutional Class and Retail Class, respectively, of the Scharf Balanced Opportunity Fund and 0.65% of the Scharf Global Opportunity Fund. Prior to January 21, 2016, the Scharf Balanced Opportunity Fund Institutional Class and the Scharf Global Opportunity Fund actual net expenses were limited to 1.20% and 0.50%, respectively. Any such reduction made by the Adviser in its fees or payment of expenses which are the Funds’ obligation are subject to reimbursement by the Funds to the Adviser, if so requested by the Adviser, 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 Fund expenses. The Adviser 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 period ended March 31, 2016, the Adviser reduced its fees in the amount of $348,682, $83,923, $167,295, and $47,857, for the Scharf Fund, the Scharf Balanced Opportunity Fund, the Scharf Global Opportunity Fund, and the Scharf Alpha Opportunity Fund, respectively.

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, pre-enactment net capital losses were carried forward for eight years and treated as short-term losses. As a transition rule, the Act requires that post-enactment net capital losses be used before pre-enactment net capital losses.

The tax character of distributions paid during the period ended March 31, 2016 and the year ended September 30, 2015 was as follows:

NOTE 11 – PRINCIPAL RISKS

Below is a summary of some, but not all, of the principal risks of investing in the Funds, each of which may adversely affect a Fund’s net asset value and total return. The Funds’ most recent prospectus provides further descriptions of each Fund’s investment objective, principal investment strategies and principal risks.

•	Non-Diversification Risk (Scharf Global Opportunity Fund and Scharf Alpha Opportunity Fund). To the extent that the Funds invest their assets in fewer securities, the Funds are subject to a greater risk of loss if any of those securities become permanently impaired than a fund that invests more widely.

•	Foreign and Emerging Market Securities Risk. The risks of investing in the securities of foreign issuers can include fluctuations in foreign currencies, foreign currency exchange controls, political and economic instability, differences in securities regulation and trading, and foreign taxation issues. These risks are greater in emerging markets.

•	Investment Style Risk. The Adviser follows an investing style that favors relatively low valuations. At times when this style is out of favor, the Funds may underperform funds that use different investing styles.

•	Small- and Medium-Sized Company Risk. Small- and medium-sized companies often have less predictable earnings, more limited product lines, markets, distribution channels or financial resources and the management of such companies may be dependent upon one or few key people. The market movements of equity securities of small- and medium-sized companies may be more abrupt and volatile than the market movements of equity securities of larger, more established companies or the stock market in general and small-sized companies in particular, are generally less liquid than the equity securities of larger companies.

•	Special Situations Risk. There is a risk that the special situation (i.e., spin-off, liquidation, merger, etc.) might not occur, which could have a negative impact on the price of the issuer’s securities and fail to produce gains or produce a loss for the Funds. In addition, investments in special situation companies may be illiquid and difficult to value, which will require a Fund to employ fair value procedures to value its holdings in such investments.

•	Short Sales Risk (Scharf Alpha Opportunity Fund). A short sale is the sale by the Alpha Opportunity Fund of a security which it does not own in anticipation of purchasing the same security in the future at a lower price to close the short position. A short sale will be successful if the price of the shorted security decreases. However, if the underlying security goes up in price during the

SCHARF FUNDS

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS at March 31, 2016 (Unaudited), Continued

	period in which the short position is outstanding, the Fund will realize a loss. The risk on a short sale is unlimited because the Fund must buy the shorted security at the higher price to complete the transaction. Therefore, short sales may be subject to greater risks than investments in long positions.

•	Leverage Risk (Scharf Alpha Opportunity Fund). Leverage is investment exposure which exceeds the initial amount invested. Leverage can cause the portfolio to lose more than the principal amount invested. Leverage can magnify the portfolio’s gains and losses and therefore increase its volatility.

HOUSEHOLDING

In an effort to decrease costs, the Funds intend to reduce the number of duplicate prospectuses, annual and semi-annual reports, proxy statement and other similar documents you receive by sending only one copy of each to those addresses shared by two or more accounts and to shareholders the Transfer Agent reasonably believes are from the same family or household. Once implemented, if you would like to discontinue householding for your accounts, please call toll-free at 1-866-572-4273 (1-866-5SCHARF) to request individual copies of these documents. Once the Transfer Agent receives notice to stop householding, the Transfer Agent will begin sending individual copies thirty days after receiving your request. This policy does not apply to account statements.

APPROVAL OF INVESTMENT ADVISORY AGREEMENT (Unaudited)

Scharf Alpha Opportunity Fund

At a meeting held on December 2-3, 2015, the Board (which is comprised of five persons, four of whom are Independent Trustees as defined under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended), considered and approved the initial investment advisory agreement (the "Advisory Agreement") between Advisors Series Trust (the "Trust") and Scharf Investments, LLC (the "Adviser") for the Scharf Alpha Opportunity Fund (the "Fund") for a period not to exceed two years. Prior to this meeting, the Board received and reviewed substantial information regarding the Fund, the Adviser and the services provided by the Adviser to the Fund under the Advisory Agreement. This information 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 approval of the Advisory Agreement.

A majority of the Board, which includes a majority of Independent Trustees, took into consideration, among other things, the nature, extent and quality of the services to be provided by the Adviser under the Advisory Agreement. The Board considered the Adviser’s specific responsibilities in all aspects of day-to-day management of the Fund. The Board considered the qualifications, experience and responsibilities of the portfolio manager, as well as the responsibilities of other key personnel of the Adviser that would be involved in the day-to-day activities of the Fund, noting that the Adviser currently serves as investment adviser to three other mutual funds within the Trust. The Board also considered the resources and compliance structure of the Adviser, including information regarding its compliance program, its chief compliance officer, the Adviser’s compliance record and the Adviser’s disaster recovery/business continuity plan. The Board also considered the Adviser’s business plan, noting that the Adviser currently manages other accounts with substantially similar objectives, policies, strategies and risks as the Fund. After discussion, the Board concluded that the Adviser has the quality and depth of personnel, resources, investment methods and compliance policies and procedures essential to performing its duties under the Advisory Agreement and that the nature, overall quality and extent of such management services will be satisfactory.

The Trustees then discussed the expected costs of the services to be provided by the Adviser and the structure of the Adviser’s fees under the Advisory Agreement. In considering the advisory fee and anticipated total fees and expenses of the Funds, the Board reviewed and compared the Fund’s anticipated fees and expenses to those funds in its Lipper peer group, as well as the fees and expenses for similar types of accounts managed by the Adviser. The Board viewed such information as a whole as useful in assessing whether the Adviser would be able to provide services at a cost that was competitive with other similar funds and consistent with an arm’s length bargaining process. The Trustees also took into account the proposed expense waivers.

APPROVAL OF INVESTMENT ADVISORY AGREEMENT (Unaudited), Continued

The Board noted that the Adviser was agreeing to waive its advisory fees and reimburse the Fund for certain of its expenses to the extent necessary to maintain an annual expense ratio, excluding acquired fund fees and expenses, of 1.00% of average daily net assets of the Retail Class shares and 0.75% of average daily net assets of the Institutional Class shares through January 27, 2017, and then of 1.50% of average daily net assets of the Retail Class shares and 1.25% of average daily net assets of the Institutional Class shares through at least January 27, 2018 (the "Expense Caps"). The Board also considered the purpose of the tiered Expense Cap structure.

The Board noted that the Fund’s expected total operating expenses were below the peer group median and average for both the first and second tiers of the Expense Cap. The Board also noted that the Fund’s expected contractual advisory fee was below the peer group median and average. The Board considered that the expected contractual advisory fee of the Fund was lower than the fees charged by the Adviser to its other accounts with substantially similar objectives, policies, strategies and risks as the Fund.

The Board determined that it would continue to monitor the appropriateness of the advisory fee and concluded that, at this time, the fees to be paid to the Adviser were fair and reasonable.

The Board also considered economies of scale that would be expected to be realized by the Adviser as the assets of the Fund grew. The Board noted that the Adviser would be contractually agreeing to reduce its advisory fees or reimburse Fund expenses indefinitely, but in no event for less than two years, so that the Fund does not exceed the tiered Expense Cap. The Board concluded that there were no effective economies of scale to be shared by the Adviser at this time, but indicated that this issue would be revisited in the future as circumstances changed and asset levels increased.

The Board then considered the expected profitability to the Adviser from its relationship with the Fund. The Board reviewed the Adviser’s financial information and took into account both the expected direct benefits and the indirect benefits to the Adviser from advising the Fund, such as benefits received in exchange for Rule 12b-1 fees and the use of soft dollars. The Board considered the estimated profitability to the Adviser from its relationship with the Fund and considered any additional benefits that may be derived by the Adviser from its relationship with the Fund. After such review, the Board determined that the expected profitability to the Adviser with respect to the Advisory Agreement was not excessive, and that the Adviser should be able to obtain adequate funding to support the services it provides to the Fund.

APPROVAL OF INVESTMENT ADVISORY AGREEMENT (Unaudited), Continued

No single factor was determinative of the Board’s decision to approve the Advisory Agreement; rather, the Trustees based their determination on the total mix of information available to them. Based on a consideration of all the factors in their totality, the Trustees determined that the advisory arrangement with the Adviser, including advisory fees, was fair and reasonable to the Fund. The Board, including a majority of Independent Trustees, therefore determined that the approval of the Advisory Agreement was in the best interests of the Fund and its shareholders.
