O’Shaughnessy Mutual Funds


All Cap Core Fund
 
For the fiscal year ended July 31, 2016, the O’Shaughnessy All Cap Core Fund (the “All Cap Core Fund”) underperformed, with Class A shares returning -3.87% (with the effect of sales charges), 1.45% (without the effect of sales charges), Class C shares returning 0.45%, and Class I shares returning 1.46%, while the Russell 3000® Index returned 4.44% and the S&P 500® Index returned 5.61% for the same period.
 
Several positions detracted from performance, including Discovery Communications Inc., CF Industries Holdings Inc., and Mosaic Company.  Performance was boosted, however, by several over-weights to stocks such as Travelers Companies Inc., The Home Depot Inc., and Caterpillar Inc.
 
Based on our key factors of high yield, attractive valuation, and high momentum, the All Cap Core Fund was hurt by overweight allocations to Materials and Consumer Discretionary.  Stock selection within Materials and Consumer Discretionary also detracted from returns.  The Fund benefited from an underweight allocation to, and stock selection within, the Financial sector.  An underweight allocation to Health Care also contributed to performance.
 
Based on our key selection criteria, we believe the All Cap Core Fund is well positioned versus its benchmark, the Russell 3000® Index, and relative to the overall market. The Fund invests in companies with stronger momentum, lower debt ratios, and companies that trade at deep discounts across a number of valuation factors. These companies are also returning capital to shareholders at three times the rate of the Russell 3000® Index.
 
Enhanced Dividend Fund
 
For the fiscal year ended July 31, 2016, the O’Shaughnessy Enhanced Dividend Fund (the “Enhanced Dividend Fund”) Class I shares returned 2.74%, while the MSCI All Country World Index returned -0.44% and the Russell 1000® Value Index returned 5.38% for the same period.
 
The Enhanced Dividend Fund benefited from allocations to CenturyLink Inc., Bank of Montreal, and Coach Inc.  The main detractors from return were holdings in BHP Billiton Plc., Rio Tinto Plc., and Telefonica.
 
Over the past fiscal year, the allocation effect detracted from returns, by -1.19%, while security selection contributed to returns, by 4.89%. An underweight allocation to Consumer Staples and security selection within Materials detracted from returns. Underweight allocations and security selection within Consumer Discretionary and Financials aided returns.
 
Based on our historical research back to 1926, dividend yield goes through cyclical periods of outperformance and underperformance. Dividend yield recently suffered from a series of rare events. In prior years, allocations to global dividend yield favored foreign stocks due to their discounted valuations and strong yields relative to U.S. counterparts. By virtue of the foreign exposure, currency exposure also existed. Finally, as oil prices rose to their recent 2014 highs, persistently increasing earnings and yields made Energy stocks appealing. The culmination of a massive U.S. Dollar (“USD”) strengthening in 2014, U.S. stock outperformance, and a deterioration in energy markets plagued dividend-oriented allocations.
 
Market Leaders Value Fund
 
The O’Shaughnessy Market Leaders Value Fund (the “Market Leaders Value Fund”) was incepted on February 26th, 2016. Since inception through the fiscal year end, the Market Leaders Value Fund underperformed with Class I shares returning 8.70%, while the Fund’s benchmark, the Russell 1000® Value Index, returned 14.47% for the same period.
 
The Market Leaders Value Fund benefitted from holdings in Illinois Tool Works Inc., Northrop Grumman Corp., and National OilWell Varco Inc. Holdings that detracted from returns were Macy’s Inc., H & R Block Inc., and Bed Bath & Beyond Inc.
 
Security selection within the Industrials and Consumer Staples sectors contributed to returns, while security selection within Consumer Discretionary and Information Technology sectors detracted from returns. Allocation effect slightly detracted from overall returns, returning -0.16%, but was overshadowed by security selection which detracted from returns, returning -6.29%.

O’Shaughnessy Mutual Funds


Based on our key themes, we believe the Market Leaders Value Fund is very well positioned versus its benchmark and relative to the overall market. The Fund invests in companies that have higher levels of return on capital, lower reliance on external financing, and trade at deep discounts across a number of valuation factors. These companies are also returning capital to shareholders at almost four times the rate of the Russell 1000® Value benchmark.
 
Small Cap Value Fund
 
The O’Shaughnessy Small Cap Value Fund (the “Small Cap Value Fund”) was incepted on February 26th, 2016. Since inception through the fiscal year end, the Small Cap Value Fund underperformed with Class I shares returning 9.00%, while the Fund’s benchmark, the Russell 2000® Value Index, returned 18.93% for the same period.
 
The Small Cap Value Fund benefitted from holdings in ACCO Brands Corp., American Public Education Inc., and Rex American Resources Corp. Holdings in Altiscource Portfolio Solutions, Dillard’s Inc. and HCI Group Inc. detracted from returns.
 
Since inception of the Small Cap Value Fund, allocation effect slightly detracted from returns and security selection greatly detracted from returns, returning -0.12% and -10.45%, respectively. Security selection within Financials and Consumer Discretionary sectors hurt returns while security selection within Utilities aided returns. Additionally, an overweight allocation to Industrials aided returns, while an underweight allocation to Health Care detracted from returns.
 
Based on our key themes of value, momentum, and quality, we believe the Small Cap Value Fund is very well positioned versus its benchmark and relative to the overall market. The portfolio’s companies have extremely attractive valuations, lower reliance on external financing, and trade at deep discounts across a number of valuation factors. In our opinion these combined advantages can only be delivered by a portfolio which is distinct from the benchmark.
 
Small/Mid Cap Growth Fund
 
For the fiscal year ended July 31, 2016, the O’Shaughnessy Small/Mid Cap Growth Fund (the “Small/Mid Cap Growth Fund”) outperformed with Class I shares returning 0.89%, while the Fund’s benchmark, the Russell 2500® Growth Index, returned -3.35% for the same period.
 
Several positions including MarketAxess Holdings Inc., Ingredion Inc., and BWX Technologies Inc. contributed to returns. The main detractors from performance were VCA Inc., Jack in the Box Inc., and Graham Holdings Company.
 
Security selection and allocation effects in Health Care, Industrials and Consumer Staples contributed to returns. While security selection and underweight allocation to Information Technology and Materials detracted from returns.
 
Above all else, we believe long-term success comes from building a fund around proven stock selection factors—measured using key selection criteria like quality, valuation, and momentum. Based on our key themes, we believe the Fund is very well positioned versus its benchmark and relative to the overall market. The Fund invests in companies that have higher momentum, lower debt ratios, and trade at deep discounts across a number of valuation factors.
 
Outlook
 
U.S. equity markets continued to remain more richly valued than their international and emerging counterparts, yet, have continued to outperform by a wide margin.  Brexit concerns largely abated after the historic June vote, and markets have generally moved to new highs as interest rates have moved lower. Even though high valuations can be a cause for concern on a long-term basis, we have found them to be poor market timing mechanisms. The popular wisdom that bear markets occur at expensive valuations is unsubstantiated.  Since 1900 in the U.S., there were 14 bear markets with declines of 20% or greater, and many more pullbacks of at least 10%. 11 have commenced at price-earnings ratio (“P/E”) levels BELOW the current P/E valuation of 20.6x (Source: Global Financial Data).

O’Shaughnessy Mutual Funds


We believe valuation is an incredibly effective individual stock selection factor, if you have a three to five-year time horizon.  Over the last five decades, our research suggests that the least expensive stocks have outperformed by an average of 4-6% annualized depending on the capitalization range you are researching. Following a peculiar period of stock leadership in 2015 and early 2016, driven by richly priced Mega Cap firms with poor earnings growth, we believe a focus on core fundamentals, like earnings, cash flows, and strength of balance sheet, is in order.
 
We believe that maintaining a portfolio of stocks, as we do in our strategies, that have reasonable valuation, superior quality, strong momentum, and high yields is the best defense against the herculean task of market timing.
 
 
Past performance does not guarantee future results.
 
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. Emerging markets countries involve greater risks, such as immature economic structures, national policies restricting investments by foreigners, and different legal systems. Such risks may be magnified with respect to securities of issuers in frontier emerging markets. Real estate investment trusts 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. The Market Leaders Value Fund and Small Cap Value Fund may experience higher fees and is subject to additional risks due to investments in other investment companies (including ETFs).
 
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 schedule of investments for a complete list of Fund holdings.

O’Shaughnessy Mutual Funds


Expense Example
at July 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. 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 All Cap Core Fund, Enhanced Dividend Fund, and Small/Mid Cap Growth Fund Example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period (2/1/16 – 7/31/16). The Market Leaders Value Fund and Small Cap Value Fund Example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested on February 26, 2016, the Funds’ inception date, and held through the end of the period (2/26/16 – 7/31/16).
 
Actual Expenses
For each class of each fund, two lines are presented in the tables below, with the first line providing information about actual account values and actual expenses. Actual net expenses are limited to 0.85%, 1.60%, and 0.60% for Class A shares, Class C shares, and Class I shares, respectively, of the All Cap Core Fund. Actual net expenses are limited to 0.99% for Class I shares of the Enhanced Dividend Fund, 0.65% for Class I shares of the Marker Leaders Value Fund, 0.99% for Class I shares of the Small Cap Value 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 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.

Notes to Financial Statements
at July 31, 2016

NOTE 1 – ORGANIZATION
 
The O’Shaughnessy All Cap Core Fund (the “All Cap Core Fund”), the O’Shaughnessy Enhanced Dividend Fund (the “Enhanced Dividend Fund”), the O’Shaughnessy Market Leaders Value Fund (the “Market Leaders Value Fund”), the O’Shaughnessy Small Cap Value Fund (the “Small Cap Value 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 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 All Cap Core Fund, Enhanced Dividend Fund and Small/Mid Cap Growth Fund, which are each diversified funds, began operations on August 16, 2010. The Market Leaders Value Fund and Small Cap Value Fund, which are each diversified funds, began operations on February 26, 2016. The investment objectives of the All Cap Core, Market Leaders Value, Small Cap Value 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 currently offers Class A shares, Class C shares and Class I shares. The Enhanced Dividend Fund, Market Leaders Value Fund, Small Cap Value Fund and the Small/Mid Cap Growth Fund currently offer only 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 1.00% 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 1.00% 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 All Cap Core Fund’s, Enhanced Dividend Fund’s, and Small/Mid Cap Growth Fund’s returns filed for open tax years 2013-2015, or expected to be taken in the Funds’ 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.
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, Market Leaders Value Fund, Small Cap Value Fund and 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. 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

Notes to Financial Statements (Continued)
at July 31, 2016
 
NOTE 2 – SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)
 
 
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. 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.
 
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 period ended July 31, 2016, the Funds made the following permanent tax adjustments on the statements of assets and liabilities:

     
Undistributed
   
Accumulated
       
     
Net Investment
   
Net Realized
       
     
Income/(Loss)

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 period ended July 31, 2016, the Funds retained redemption fees as follows:

G.
Foreign Securities: The Funds may invest in securities of foreign companies. Foreign economies may differ from the U.S. economy and individual foreign 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.
REITs: The Funds may invest 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 Funds intend to include the gross dividends from such REITs in their annual distributions to its shareholders and, accordingly, a portion of the Funds’ distributions may also be designated as a return of capital.
 
I.
Events Subsequent to the Fiscal Period End: In preparing the financial statements as of July 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 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.
 
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 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 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 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, 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.

NOTE 3 – SECURITIES VALUATION (Continued)
 
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 July 31, 2016:

based upon the average daily net assets of each Fund.  For the period ended July 31, 2016, the All Cap Core Fund, Enhanced Dividend Fund, Market Leaders Value Fund, Small Cap Value Fund and Small/Mid Cap Growth Fund incurred $476,635, $154,840, $17,881, $6,891 and $87,593 in advisory fees, respectively.
 
Each Fund is responsible for its own operating expenses. The Advisor has agreed to temporarily reduce, through at least November 27, 2016, fees payable to it by the All Cap Core Fund and to pay Fund operating expenses (excluding acquired fund fees and expenses, taxes, interest expense and extraordinary expenses) to the extent necessary to limit the Fund’s aggregate annual operating expenses as follows:
 
 
Class A
Class C
Class I
All Cap Core Fund
0.85%
1.60%
0.60%
   
 
percent of average daily net assets
 
The Advisor has contractually agreed to reduce fees payable to it by the Enhanced Dividend Fund, Market Leaders Value Fund, Small Cap Value Fund and the Small/Mid Cap Growth Fund and to pay Fund operating expenses (excluding acquired fund fees and expenses, taxes, interest expense and extraordinary expenses) to the extent necessary to limit the Funds’ aggregate annual operating expenses to as follows:
 
 
Class I
Enhanced Dividend Fund
0.99%
Market Leaders Value Fund
0.65%
Small Cap Value Fund
0.99%
Small/Mid Cap Growth Fund
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 period ended July 31, 2016, the Advisor reduced its fees and/or made expense payments in the amount of $256,014, $98,030, $75,732, $77,846 and $93,949 for the All Cap Core Fund, Enhanced Dividend Fund, Market Leaders Value Fund, Small Cap Value Fund and the Small/Mid Cap Growth Fund, respectively.
 
The Advisor is not able to recoup the fees waived of $256,014 in the All Cap Core Fund which are subject to the temporary expense limitation.
 
Cumulative expenses subject to recapture pursuant to the aforementioned conditions and the year of expiration are as follows:

NOTE 5 – DISTRIBUTION AGREEMENT AND PLAN
 
The All Cap Core Fund has adopted a Distribution Plan pursuant to Rule 12b-1 (the “Plan”). The Plan permits the All Cap Core Fund to pay for distribution and related expenses at an annual rate of up to 0.25% of the average daily net assets of the All Cap Core Fund’s Class A shares and up to 1.00% of the All Cap Core Fund’s Class C shares. The expenses covered by the Plan may include the cost in connection with the promotion and distribution of shares and the provision of personal services to shareholders, including, but not necessarily limited to, advertising, compensation to underwriters, dealers and selling personnel, the printing and mailing of prospectuses to other than current Fund shareholders, and the printing and mailing of sales literature. Payments made pursuant to the Plan will represent compensation for distribution and service activities, not reimbursements for specific expenses incurred. For the period ended July 31, 2016, the All Cap Core Fund paid the Distributor $4,960 and $89,862 for Class A and Class C shares, respectively.
 
NOTE 6 – SHAREHOLDER SERVICING FEE

NOTE 10 – 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.

O’Shaughnessy Mutual Funds

 
Notes to Financial Statements (Continued)
at July 31, 2016
 
NOTE 10 – PRINCIPAL RISKS (Continued)
 
Sector Risk. To the extent a Fund invests a significant portion of its assets in the securities of companies in the same sector of the market, the Fund is more susceptible to economic, political, regulatory and other occurrences influencing those sectors.
 
Foreign Securities Risk. The risks of investing in the securities of foreign issuers, including emerging market issuers and depositary receipts, 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.
 
Small- and Medium-Sized Companies 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.
 
REITs and Foreign Real Estate Company Risk. Investing in REITs and foreign real estate companies makes a Fund more susceptible to risks associated with the ownership of real estate and with the real estate industry in general, as well as tax compliance risks, and may involve duplication of management fees and other expenses. 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 or erratic price movements than the overall securities markets.
 
Emerging Markets Risk. There is an increased risk of price volatility associated with emerging market countries, which may be magnified by currency fluctuations relative to the U.S. dollar.
 
Frontier Markets Risk. There is an additional increased risk of price volatility associated with frontier market countries (pre-emerging markets), which may be further magnified by currency fluctuations relative to the U.S. dollar. Frontier market countries generally have smaller economies or less developed capital markets than in more advanced emerging markets and, as a result, the risks of investing in emerging market countries may be magnified in frontier market countries.
 
Depositary Receipt Risk. The Fund’s equity investments may take the form of sponsored or unsponsored depositary receipts. Holders of unsponsored depositary receipts generally bear all the costs of such facilities and the depositary of an unsponsored facility frequently is under no obligation to distribute shareholder communications received from the issuer of the deposited security or to pass through voting rights to the holders of such receipts of the deposited securities.
 
Value Style Investing Risk. At times when the value investing style is out of favor, the Fund may underperform other funds that use different investing styles. Value stocks may be purchased based upon the belief that a given security may be out of favor; that belief may be misplaced or the security may stay out of favor for an extended period of time.
 
New Fund Risk. The Fund is new with no operating history and there can be no assurance that the Fund will grow to or maintain an economically viable size, in which case the Board may determine to liquidate the Fund.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

To the Board of Trustees
Advisors Series Trust and
Shareholders of
O’Shaughnessy Mutual Funds
 
We have audited the accompanying statements of assets and liabilities of the O’Shaughnessy All Cap Core Fund, O’Shaughnessy Enhanced Dividend Fund, O’Shaughnessy Market Leaders Value Fund, O’Shaughnessy Small Cap Value Fund, and O’Shaughnessy Small/Mid Cap Growth Fund, each a series of Advisors Series Trust (the “Trust”), including the schedules of investments, as of July 31, 2016, and with respect to the O’Shaughnessy All Cap Core Fund, O’Shaughnessy Enhanced Dividend Fund, and O’Shaughnessy Small/Mid Cap Growth Fund, the related statements of operations for the year then ended, the statements of changes in net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended and the financial highlights for each of the five years in the period then ended, with respect to the O’Shaughnessy Market Leaders Value Fund and O’Shaughnessy Small Cap Value Fund, the related statements of operations, the statements of changes in net assets, and the financial highlights for the period February 26, 2016 (commencement of operations) to July 31, 2016.  These financial statements and financial highlights are the responsibility of the Trust’s management.  Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and financial highlights based on our audits.
 
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, 2016, 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 the O’Shaughnessy All Cap Core Fund, O’Shaughnessy Enhanced Dividend Fund, O’Shaughnessy Market Leaders Value Fund, O’Shaughnessy Small Cap Value Fund, and O’Shaughnessy Small/Mid Cap Growth Fund as of July 31, 2016, the results of their operations, the changes in their net assets, and their financial highlights for the periods referred to above, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Item 3. Audit Committee Financial Expert.

The registrant’s Board of Trustees has determined that there is at least one audit committee financial expert serving on its audit committee.  Ms. Gail S. Duree is the “audit committee financial expert” and is considered to be “independent” as each term is defined in Item 3 of Form N‑CSR.

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.
