Fort Pitt Capital Total Return Fund

Dear Fellow Shareholders,

As of April 30, 2016, the net asset value (“NAV”) of the Fort Pitt Capital Total Return Fund (the “Fund”) was $19.62 per share.  Total return (including a $1.0265 per share dividend) for the semi-annual fiscal period ended April 30, 2016 was 0.30%.  This compares with a total return of -0.07% for the unmanaged Wilshire 5000 Total Market Index^SM (“Wilshire 5000”) and 0.43% for the S&P 500^® Index (“S&P 500”) for the same period.

Performance during the first half of the fiscal year was boosted by two recent purchases, RPM International, Inc., a specialty chemical manufacturer, and Inter Parfums, Inc, a specialty fragrance company. Other leaders in the first half of the fiscal period included Verizon Communications, Inc., AT&T, Inc. and Arthur J. Gallagher and Company. All three helped returns for the period, and benefited from above-average dividend yields during a volatile time for U.S. stocks. The biggest  detractors to performance in the first half of the fiscal year were Allergan PLC (“Allergan”), Kinder Morgan, Inc. and NetScout Systems, Inc. (“NetScout”).  Allergan shares reversed prior period gains when their tax-inversion merger with Pfizer, Inc. was nixed by the U.S. Treasury. NetScout reported a minor earnings miss in late January 2016 after closing on the acquisition of a large competitor. NetScout shares took a 12% hit on the news, but we think the deal will benefit the company materially over time, so we added to our holdings after the decline.

The Fund’s annualized total return for the one-year period ended April 30, 2016, was -2.08%, compared to -0.83% for the Wilshire 5000 and 1.21% for the S&P 500.  The Fund’s annualized total return for the three-year period ended April 30, 2016, was 7.34%, compared to 10.42% for the Wilshire 5000 and 11.26% for the S&P 500.  Over the five-year period ended April 30, 2016, the Fund’s annualized total return was 8.26%, while the Wilshire 5000’s annualized return was 10.28% and the S&P 500’s annualized return was 11.02%.  Over the ten-year period ended April 30, 2016, the Fund’s annualized total return was 4.60%, while the Wilshire 5000’s annualized return was 6.93% and the S&P 500’s annualized return was 6.91%.  Since inception on December 31, 2001 through April 30, 2016, the Fund has produced a total return of 7.22% annualized (171.52% cumulative), compared to 6.89% annualized (159.97% cumulative) for the Wilshire 5000 and 6.31% annualized (140.16% cumulative) for the S&P 500.  The total annual gross operating expense ratio for the Fund is 1.43%.

Performance data quoted represents past performance and does not guarantee future results.  The investment return and principal value of an investment will fluctuate so that an investor’s shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost.  Current performance of the Fund may be lower or higher than the performance quoted.  Performance data current to the most recent month end may be obtained by calling 1-866-688-8775.  The Fund imposes a 2.00% redemption fee on shares held for 180 days or less.  Performance data quoted does not reflect the redemption fee.  If reflected, total returns would be reduced.  Performance figures reflect fee waivers in effect.  In the absence of waivers, total returns would be lower.

We commented in our last letter that U.S. hiring and wage statistics had become robust enough to encourage the U.S. Federal Reserve Board (the “Fed”) to consider pushing up short-term interest rates. Conjecture on this front became fact last December 2015, as the Fed finally pushed short-term borrowing rates off the “emergency” zero level. One additional increase appears likely in calendar 2016, though the Fed appears to be paying much more attention to (generally weak) foreign economic trends than previous in its decision making process. Continued fundamental weakness overseas could delay further tightening, as could any reversal in domestic employment trends.

Fort Pitt Capital Total Return Fund

Much of what happens on the interest rate front also depends upon psychological factors. Financial markets appear to be caught in a “negative anticipation loop” of sorts. Traders drive interest rates up (and stock prices down) in anticipation of a Fed tightening move, and this has enough of a depressing effect on financial conditions that the Fed feels it cannot go ahead and raise rates. It signals this sentiment to the market, causing stock prices to rise (interest rates to fall), and the cycle starts all over again.

Financial market effects notwithstanding, Janet Yellen and others on the Federal Open Market Committee appear to recognize the diminishing economic returns from a wide open monetary spigot. Exhibits A and B on this topic are Japan and Europe, where ongoing experiments with Quantitative Easing and negative interest rates have produced very little in terms of economic growth. Negative rates are a tax on saving, and force people to save even more to reach their long-term financial goals. This is the exact opposite effect from what policymakers desire – increased borrowing and spending. This tax, enacted in a period when economies worldwide are already struggling, therefore appears a less and less desirable option, and several Fed Board members have hinted to this effect. In summary, we think negative interest rates are unlikely in the U.S., and over time short-term interest rates will move gradually higher.

In practical terms, modestly higher short-term interest rates over the next 2 or 3 years should not have a hugely depressing effect on the U.S. economy. Zero interest rate policy (“ZIRP”) was put in place in 2008 to address a financial panic. These emergency conditions passed years ago. It’s time to move on, and continue the process of normalizing interest rates.

Thank you for your continued support of our Fund.

Charlie Smith

Portfolio Manager

Mutual fund investing involves risk; principal loss is possible. Investments in debt securities typically decrease in value when interest rates rise. This risk is usually greater for longer-term debt securities. Small and medium-capitalization companies tend to have limited liquidity and greater price volatility than large capitalization companies. The Fund invests in foreign securities which involve greater volatility and political, economic and currency risks and differences in accounting methods.

The opinions expressed are those of Charles A. Smith through the end of the period for this report, are subject to change, and are not intended to be a forecast of future events, a guarantee of future results, nor investment advice.

Diversification does not assure a profit nor protect against loss in a declining market.

ALLOCATION OF PORTFOLIO INVESTMENTS

at April 30, 2016 (Unaudited)

Percentages represent market value as a percentage of total investments.

EXPENSE EXAMPLE

at April 30, 2016 (Unaudited)

As a shareholder of a mutual fund, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including 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 Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds. The Example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period (11/1/15 – 4/30/16).

Actual Expenses

The first line of the following table provides information about actual account values and actual expenses, with actual net expenses being limited to 1.24% per the operating expenses limitation agreement. Although the Fund charges no sales loads, you will be assessed fees for outgoing wire transfers, returned checks, and stop payment orders at prevailing rates charged by U.S. Bancorp Fund Services, LLC, the Fund’s transfer agent. To the extent the Fund invests in shares of other investment companies as part of its investment strategy, you will indirectly bear your proportionate share of any fees and expenses charged by the underlying funds in which the Fund invests in addition to the expenses of the Fund. Actual expenses of the underlying funds are expected to vary among the various underlying funds. These expenses are not included in the example below.  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’’ to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.

EXPENSE EXAMPLE (Continued)

at April 30, 2016 (Unaudited)

Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes

The second line of the table below provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Fund’s actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Fund’s actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Fund and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds.  Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transactional costs, such as redemption fees or exchange fees. Therefore, the second line of the table 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 transactional costs were included, your costs would have been higher.

	Beginning	Ending	Expenses Paid
	Account Value	Account Value	During Period*
	11/1/15	4/30/16	11/1/15 – 4/30/16
Actual	$1,000.00	$1,003.00	$6.18
Hypothetical	$1,000.00	$1,018.70	$6.22
(5% return before expenses)

* Expenses are equal to the Fund’s annualized expense ratio of 1.24%, multiplied by the average account value over the period, multiplied by 182 (days in most recent fiscal half-year)/366 days to reflect the one-half year expense.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

at April 30, 2016 (Unaudited)

NOTE 1 – ORGANIZATION

The Fort Pitt Capital Total Return Fund (the “Fund”) is a diversified 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 Fund follows the investment company accounting and reporting guidance of the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standard Codification Topic 946 “Financial Services – Investment Companies”. The Fund began operations on December 31, 2001.

The investment goal of the Fund is to seek to realize a combination of long-term capital appreciation and income that will produce maximum total return. The Fund seeks to achieve its goal by investing primarily in a diversified portfolio of common stocks of domestic (U.S.) companies and fixed income investments.

NOTE 2 – SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

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

A.	Security Valuation: All investments in securities are recorded at their estimated fair value, as described in note 3.
B.	Federal Income Taxes: It is the Fund’s policy to comply with the requirements of Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code applicable to regulated investment companies and to distribute substantially all of its taxable income to its shareholders. Therefore, no Federal income or excise tax provision is required.
	The Fund recognizes the tax benefits of uncertain tax positions only where the position is “more-likely-than-not” to be sustained assuming examination by tax authorities. Management has analyzed the Fund’s tax positions, and has concluded that no liability for unrecognized tax benefits should be recorded related to uncertain tax positions taken on returns filed for open tax years 2013-2015, or expected to be taken in the Fund’s 2016 tax returns. The Fund identifies its major tax jurisdictions as U.S. Federal and the state of Wisconsin; however the Fund is not aware of any tax positions for which it is reasonably possible that the total amounts of unrecognized tax benefits will change materially in the next twelve months.
C.	Securities Transactions, Income and Distributions: Securities transactions are accounted for on the trade date. Realized gains and losses on securities sold are determined on the basis of identified cost. Interest income, including amortization of bond premium and discount, is recorded on an accrual basis. Dividend income and distributions to shareholders are recorded on the ex-dividend date.
	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 Fund distributes 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 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 with 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

13

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)

	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 Fund charges a 2.00% redemption fee to shareholders who redeem shares held 180 days or less. Such fees are retained by the Fund and accounted for as an addition to paid-in capital.
	During the six months ended April 30, 2016, the Fund retained $64 in redemption fees.
G.	Events Subsequent to the Fiscal Period End: In preparing the financial statements as of April 30, 2016, management considered the impact of subsequent events for potential recognition or disclosure in the financial statements.

NOTE 3 – SECURITIES VALUATION

The Fund has adopted authoritative fair value accounting standards which establish an authoritative definition of fair value and set out a hierarchy for measuring fair value. These standards require additional disclosures about the various inputs and valuation techniques used to develop the measurements of fair value, a discussion in changes in valuation techniques and related inputs during the period and expanded disclosure of valuation levels for major security types. These inputs are summarized in the three broad levels listed below:

Level 1 –	Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the Fund has the ability to access.
Level 2 –	Observable inputs other than quoted prices included in level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly.  These inputs may include quoted prices for the identical instrument on an inactive market, prices for similar instruments, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, yield curves, default rates and similar data.
Level 3 –	Unobservable inputs for the asset or liability, to the extent relevant observable inputs are not available, representing the Fund’s own assumptions about the assumptions a market participant would use in valuing the asset or liability, and would be based on the best information available.

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

The 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 Fund’s investments are carried at fair value. Equity securities, including common stocks and exchange-traded funds, 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

Fort Pitt Capital Total Return Fund

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)

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 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 (“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 Fund’s 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, including the type of security, size of holding, trading volume and news events.  All actions taken by the Valuation Committee are subsequently 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 is not an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities.  The following is a summary of the inputs used to value the Fund’s securities as of April 30, 2016:

	Level 1		Level 2		Level 3		Total
Common Stocks

Waste Management	$	1,222,800	$	—	$	—	$	1,222,800

Total Investments	$	54,678,275	$	—	$	—	$	54,678,275

Refer to the Fund’s schedule of investments for a detailed break-out of common stocks by industry classification. Transfers between levels are recognized at April 30, 2016, the end of the reporting period. The Fund recognized no transfers to/from level 1 or level 2. There were no level 3 securities held in the Fund during the six months ended April 30, 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

For the six months ended April 30, 2016, Fort Pitt Capital Group, LLC (the “Advisor”) provided the Fund with investment management services under an investment advisory agreement. The Advisor furnished all investment advice, office space, facilities, and provides most of the personnel needed by the Fund. As compensation for its services, the Advisor is entitled to a monthly fee at the annual rate of 1.00%  based upon the average daily net assets of the Fund up to $100 million, 0.90% on assets between $100 million and $1 billion, and 0.80% on assets over $1 billion.  For the six months ended April 30, 2016, the Fund incurred $277,435 in advisory fees.

The Fund is responsible for its own operating expenses. The Advisor has agreed to reduce fees payable to it by the Fund and to pay Fund operating expenses to the extent necessary to limit the Fund’s aggregate annual operating expenses (excluding acquired fund fees and expenses, interest, taxes, brokerage commissions, and extraordinary expenses) to 1.24% of average daily net assets. Any such reduction made by the Advisor in its fees or payment of expenses which are the Fund’s obligation are subject to reimbursement by the Fund to the Advisor, if so requested by the Advisor, in subsequent fiscal years if the aggregate amount actually paid by the Fund toward the operating expenses for such fiscal year (taking into account the reimbursement) does not exceed the applicable limitation on Fund expenses. The Advisor is permitted to be reimbursed only for fee reductions and expense payments made in the previous three fiscal years. Any such reimbursement is also contingent upon Board of Trustees review and approval at the time the reimbursement is made. Such reimbursement may not be paid prior to the Fund’s payment of current ordinary operating expenses. For the six months ended April 30, 2016, the Advisor reduced its fees in the amount of $48,733; no amounts were reimbursed to the Advisor. Cumulative expenses subject to recapture pursuant to the aforementioned conditions amounted to $351,600 at April 30, 2016. Cumulative expenses subject to recapture expire as follows:

Year	Amount
2016	$	108,439
2017		100,067
2018		94,361
2019		48,733
	$	351,600

U.S. Bancorp Fund Services, LLC (the “Administrator”) acts as the Fund’s Administrator under an administration agreement. The Administrator prepares various federal and state regulatory filings, reports and returns for the Fund; prepares reports and materials to be supplied to the Trustees; monitors the activities of the Fund’s custodian, transfer agent and accountants; coordinates the preparation and payment of the Fund’s expenses and reviews the Fund’s expense accruals.

U.S. Bancorp Fund Services, LLC (“USBFS”) also serves as the fund accountant and transfer agent to the Fund. U.S. Bank N.A., an affiliate of USBFS, serves as the Fund’s custodian.

For the six months ended April 30, 2016, the Fund incurred the following expenses for administration, fund accounting, transfer agency, custody, and Chief Compliance Officer fees:

Administration and Fund Accounting	$	34,562
Transfer Agency (a)		10,053

Fort Pitt Capital Total Return Fund

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)

At April 30, 2016, the Fund had payables due to USBFS for administration, fund accounting, transfer agency and Chief Compliance Officer fees and to U.S. Bank N.A. for custody fees in the following amounts:

Administration and Fund Accounting	$	16,454
Transfer Agency (a)		5,007
Custody		1,783
Chief Compliance Officer		2,226
(a) Does not include out-of-pocket expenses

Quasar Distributors, LLC (the “Distributor”) acts as the Fund’s principal underwriter in a continuous public offering of the Fund’s shares. The Distributor is an affiliate of the Administrator.

Certain officers of the Fund are also employees of the Administrator.  The Trust’s Chief Compliance Officer is also an employee of USBFS.  A Trustee of the Trust is affiliated with USBFS and U.S. Bank N.A.  This same Trustee is an interested person of the Distributor.

NOTE 5 – PURCHASES AND SALES OF SECURITIES

For the six months ended April 30, 2016, the cost of purchases and the proceeds from sales of securities, excluding short-term securities, were $6,364,191 and $1,024,371, respectively.

NOTE 6 – INCOME TAXES AND DISTRIBUTIONS TO SHAREHOLDERS

The tax character of distributions paid during the six months ended April 30, 2016 and the year ended October 31, 2015 was as follows:

	April 30, 2016	October 31, 2015
Ordinary income	$ 478,529	$ 418,890
Long-term capital gains	2,405,748	1,359,234

As of October 31, 2015, the Fund’s most recent fiscal year end, the components of accumulated earnings/(losses) on a tax basis were as follows:

Cost of investments	$	38,849,494
Gross tax unrealized appreciation		18,027,035
Gross tax unrealized depreciation		(844,124	)
Net tax unrealized appreciation		17,182,911
Undistributed ordinary income		413,653
Undistributed long-term capital gain		2,405,742
Total distributable earnings		2,819,395
Other accumulated gains/(losses)		—
Total accumulated earnings/(losses)	$	20,002,306

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

NOTE 7 – PRINCIPAL RISKS

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

• Stock Market Risks: The value of the Fund’s shares will go up or down based on the movement of the overall stock market and the value of the individual securities held by the Fund, both of which can sometimes be volatile.

17

Fort Pitt Capital Total Return Fund

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)

• Interest Rate Risks: Fixed income securities may decline in value because of changes in interest rates. It is likely there will be less governmental action in the near future to maintain low interest rates. The negative impact on fixed income securities from the resulting rate increases for that and other reasons could be swift and significant.

• Credit Risk: An issuer may not make timely payments of principal and interest.

• Foreign Securities Risk: Foreign securities are subject to special risks. Foreign securities can be more volatile than domestic (U.S.) securities. Securities markets of other countries are generally smaller than U.S. securities markets. Many foreign securities may be less liquid and more volatile than U.S. securities, which could affect the Fund’s investments.

• American Depositary Receipts Risks: Investing in ADRs may involve risks in addition to the risks in domestic investments, including less regulatory oversight and less publicly-available information, less stable governments and economies, and non-uniform accounting, auditing and financial reporting standards.

• Small- and Medium-Capitalization Company Risks: The risks associated with investing in small- and medium-capitalization companies, which have securities that may trade less frequently and in smaller volumes than securities of larger companies.

NOTE 8 – REPORT OF THE FUND’S SPECIAL SHAREHOLDER MEETING (Unaudited)

A Special Meeting of Shareholders of the Fund took place on January 15, 2016, to approve an investment advisory agreement between the Advisor and Advisors Series Trust on behalf of the Fund (the “Proposal”).

All Fund shareholders of record at the close of business on October 21, 2015 (the “Record Date”), were entitled to vote. As of the Record Date, the Fund had 2,819,256 shares outstanding. Of the 1,503,928 shares present in person or by proxy, 1,495,709 or 99.5% voted in favor of the proposal (representing 53.1% of total outstanding shares), 7,899 or 0.5% voted against the Proposal, and 320 or 0.02% withheld from voting on the Proposal.  Accordingly, the Proposal was approved.
