Dear Shareholder:
 
For the fiscal year ended October 31, 2016, the Huber Capital Diversified Large Cap Value Fund (“Diversified Large Cap Value Fund”), Huber Capital Equity Income Fund (“Equity Income Fund”) and Huber Capital Small Cap Value Fund (“Small Cap Value Fund”) underperformed their respective benchmarks. Our Huber Capital Mid Cap Value Fund (“Mid Cap Value Fund”) was launched on December 31, 2015. For the calendar year-to-date ended October 31, 2016, the Huber Capital Mid Cap Value Fund underperformed the Russell Midcap® Value Index.
 
Although value ostensibly outperformed growth during the fiscal year ended October 31, 2016, seemingly reversing the price momentum-driven market that had been firmly in place since the beginning of 2014, this trend was somewhat inconsistent over the period and, at times, not broadly based. Stocks that exhibited either growth or defensive characteristics experienced the majority of the benefit, particularly during the first half of the 2016 calendar year.  A sharp uptick in volatility in January 2016 and February 2016 which resulted in the disproportionate sell-off of value equities and, in particular, deep cyclical stocks gave way to a rotation into the more defensive areas of the value universe as the dramatic decline in share prices became too compelling for investors to ignore.  A period of lower volatility followed mid-year’s sell off in financial markets sparked by the United Kingdom’s decision to exit the European Union as a reduction in uncertainty increased investors’ confidence for an extended period of sustainable economic growth.  Despite continued ambiguity with respect to style leadership, the lower level of volatility during the final three months of the fiscal year allowed for an appreciation in the share prices of many of the Funds’ holdings reflecting, at least partially, recognition of an improvement in those companies’ operating prospects.  Accordingly, all of the Huber Funds, with the exception of the Equity Income Fund, outperformed their respective benchmarks during the final three months of the fiscal year, as the share prices of many of the Funds’ holdings within the pro-cyclical areas of the economy such as financial services, energy and commodities rallied alongside their less economically sensitive counterparts.
 
Diversified Large Cap Value Fund Review
 
For the fiscal year ended October 31, 2016, the Diversified Large Cap Value Fund, Investor Class and Institutional Class, returned 2.23% and 2.47%, respectively, underperforming the 6.37% total return of the Russell 1000® Value Index and the 4.51% total return of the S&P 500® Index. Relative to the Russell 1000® Value Index, the largest positive contributor to the Fund’s relative performance was Consumer Staples while the largest sector detractors were Financial Services, Producer Durables and Health Care.
 
Within the Consumer Staples sector, the share price of portfolio holdings Tyson Foods, Inc. (TSN) (“Tyson Foods”), a company engaged in the production of processed food, and Philip Morris International, Inc. (PM) (“Philip Morris”), a
1

company engaged in the manufacture and sale of tobacco products, gained as both companies demonstrated solid operating performance in the previous calendar quarter.
 
Within Financial Services, insurance holding company CNO Financial Group, Inc. (CNO) (“CNO Financial Group”) the sector’s principle detractor from performance, experienced share price weakness on news that it would have to re-assume full responsibility for the portion of its long term care business it had reinsured.  We believe this to be an immaterial impact on the company’s fair value, and it is our view that CNO Financial Group remains highly attractive from a valuation perspective as management continues to reposition the company’s portfolio of businesses.
 
Within Producer Durables, shares of construction and engineering company KBR, Inc. (KBR) (“KBR”) declined on news of disappointing performance related to legacy government contracts.  We believe the company continues to demonstrate solid operational performance in general, and has used its under-levered balance sheet to generate additional shareholder value.
 
Within Health Care, pharmaceutical manufacturer Eli Lilly & Co. (LLY) shares declined on concerns over drug, and particularly insulin, pricing.
 
Equity Income Fund Review
 
For the fiscal year ended October 31, 2016, the Equity Income Fund, Investor Class and Institutional Class, returned -0.47% and -0.06%, respectively, underperforming the 6.37% total return of the Russell 1000® Value Index and the 4.51% total return of the S&P 500® Index.  Relative to the Russell 1000® Value Index, the largest positive contributor to the Fund’s relative performance was Consumer Staples while the largest sector detractors were Energy, Financial Services and Producer Durables.
 
Within the Consumer Staples sector, Tyson Foods and Philip Morris were the largest contributors to the Fund’s relative performance; both companies are discussed in the Diversified Large Cap Value Fund section of this letter.
 
Within Financial Services and Producer Durables, CNO Financial Group and KBR were the principle detractors from the Fund’s relative performance; both companies are discussed in the Diversified Large Cap Value Fund section of this letter.
 
Within Energy, deep water driller Ensco plc (ESV) (“Ensco”) and seaborne oil transportation provider Euronav SA (EURN) (“Euronav”) were the largest detractors from the Fund’s relative performance as uncertainty continued over industry fundamentals, particularly in the first half of the fiscal year.  Despite a protracted period of underperformance, it remains our view that both companies represent attractive investments from a valuation perspective.
 
Small Cap Value Fund Review
 
For the fiscal year ended October 31, 2016, the Small Cap Value Fund, Investor Class and Institutional Class, returned -5.13% and -4.94%, respectively,
2

underperforming the Russell 2000® Value Index and the Russell 2000® Index, which generated total returns of 8.81% and 4.11%, respectively.  Relative to the Russell 2000® Value Index, the largest positive contributor to the Fund’s relative performance was Financial Services while the largest sector detractors were Producer Durables, Materials & Processing and Consumer Discretionary.
 
Within the Financial Services sector, government property Real Estate Investment Trust (“REIT”) holding Government Properties Income Trust (GOV) and pawn loan provider EZCORP, Inc. (EZPW) (“EZCorp”) were the largest contributors to the Fund’s relative performance.  The share price of Government Properties Income Trust benefited early in the year from its defensive characteristics and attractive yield while the share price of EZCorp gained as the company rationalized its portfolio coincident with an improvement in demand.
 
Within the Producer Durables sector, construction and engineering company KBR and seaborne oil transportation provider Teekay Tankers Ltd. (TNK) (“Teekay Tankers”), were the primary detractors from the Fund’s relative performance.  The share price of Teekay Tankers declined throughout the year on short-term weakness in tanker rates and a dividend cut by its parent.  We would expect the company’s share price to improve from these levels as tanker rates normalize to reflect better supply/demand fundamentals.  KBR is discussed in the Diversified Large Cap Value Fund section of this letter.
 
Within the Materials & Processing sector, Uranium Participation Corp. (U CN), a company that invests primarily in uranium, was the largest detractor from the Fund’s relative performance in sympathy with a weak commodity price environment. We continue to find the industry and company attractive and expect uranium prices to stabilize in the near-to-medium term.
 
Within Consumer Discretionary, the share price of brand licenser Iconix Brand Group, Inc. (ICON) (“Iconix Brand Group”) declined as the company issued equity to retire a portion of its debt.  We believe the company continues to appear attractive based on current cash flow expectations, an outlook which could improve with better operational and capital allocation performance.
 
Mid Cap Value Fund Review
 
The Mid Cap Value Fund’s inception date was December 31, 2015; therefore, the review does not reflect the fiscal year to date for the Fund. For the fiscal period ended October 31, 2016, the Mid Cap Value Fund, Investor Class and Institutional Class, returned 4.10% and 4.40%, respectively, underperforming the Russell Midcap® Value Index, which generated a total return of 10.96%.  Relative to the Russell Midcap® Value Index, the largest positive contributor to the Fund’s relative performance was Consumer Discretionary while the largest sector detractors were Producer Durables, Materials & Processing and Financial Services.
 
Within the Consumer Discretionary sector, nutritional supplement distributor Herbalife Ltd. (HLF) (“Herbalife”) and Iconix Brand Group were the largest contributors to the Fund’s relative performance. Herbalife’s share price gained
3

following a better-than-expected resolution to the Federal Trade Commission’s investigation.  Iconix Brand Group is discussed in the Small Cap Value Fund section of this letter.
 
Within the Producer Durables sector, Teekay Tankers was the primary detractor from the Fund’s relative performance. Teekay Tankers is discussed in the Small Cap Value Fund section of this letter.
 
Within the Materials & Processing sector, Uranium Participation Corp. was the principal detractor from the Fund’s relative performance. Uranium Participation Corp. is discussed in the Small Cap Value Fund section of this letter.
 
Within the Financial Services sector, EZCorp and CNO Financial Group were the principle detractors from the Fund’s relative performance. EZCorp is discussed in the Small Cap Value Fund section of this letter and CNO Financial Group is discussed in the Diversified Large Cap Value Fund section of this letter.
 
Outlook
 
Despite an apparent improvement in the market’s tone in recent months, a level of uncertainty remains regarding the pace and sustainability of economic growth and implications for global financial markets.  As an independent firm, we have remained disciplined with respect to our philosophy and process irrespective of the market environment, and have attempted to take advantage of market dislocations by adding to high conviction Fund holdings.  Accordingly, we continue to maintain a high degree of optimism with respect to the outlook for our Funds, believing that, in general, any improvement in the valuations of our Funds’ holdings has not kept pace with the underlying improvements in our portfolio companies’ operations.  We remain convinced that value investing, which is rooted in the belief that a company’s valuation is a reflection of its normal cash generation capability, should ultimately return to favor and that a broad-based return to value should benefit Fund companies characterized by strong fundamentals and valuation support.
 
As part of our effort to mitigate risk, we seek to ensure diversification within our Funds, aiming for neutrality relative to the weight of important factors in the macro-economy, a policy also consistent with 100% bottom-up investment management.  With the massive shift of assets from active to passive management in recent years, benchmarks have themselves become price momentum strategies, with flows into index funds and exchange-traded funds resulting in the bidding up of underlying securities and, accordingly, the distortion of sector and industry weights relative to the weight of the related factor in the macro-economy.  An additional issue associated with using index weights in diversification efforts is that frequently used classification schema such as Global Industry Classification Standard and FTSE Russell may assign companies to sectors which, in our view, don’t accurately reflect the company’s primary exposure.  Accordingly, Huber Capital Management utilizes a GDP (gross domestic product)-based factor analysis to assess factor exposure and
4

may, therefore, at times appear meaningfully out of line with respect to corresponding benchmark weights despite being adequately diversified.
 
Nevertheless, as of October 31, 2016, the Funds were positioned as follows with respect to the sector weights in their corresponding benchmarks: the Diversified Large Cap Value Fund was overweight Consumer Discretionary, Consumer Staples, Health Care, Producer Durables and Technology and underweight Energy, Financial Services, Materials & Processing and Utilities. The Equity Income Fund was overweight Consumer Discretionary, Health Care, Materials & Processing, Producer Durables and Technology and underweight Consumer Staples, Energy, Financial Services and Utilities.  The Small Cap Value Fund was overweight Consumer Discretionary, Materials & Processing and Producer Durables and underweight Energy, Financial Services, Health Care, Technology and Utilities.  The Mid Cap Value Fund was overweight Materials & Processing, Producer Durables and Technology and underweight Consumer Discretionary, Consumer Staples, Energy, Financial Services, Health Care and Utilities.
 
As always, we would like to thank you for your continued support and for entrusting us with your investment dollars.
 
Sincerely,
 
The Huber Capital Management Team

Past performance is not a guarantee of future results.
 
Mutual fund investing involves risk. Principal loss is possible. The Funds may invest in foreign securities which involve greater volatility and political, economic and currency risks and differences in accounting methods. The risks are greater for investments in emerging markets.  Additionally, the Funds are subject to sector emphasis risk meaning that companies in the same or related businesses may comprise a significant portion of a Fund’s portfolio and adversely affect the value of the portfolio to a greater extent than if such business comprised a lesser portion of a portfolio. Investments in initial public offerings (“IPOs”) carry additional risk such as market and liquidity risk and can fluctuate considerably. When a Fund’s asset base is small, the impact of IPOs on the Fund’s performance could be magnified. Investments in smaller and medium cap companies involve additional risks such as limited liquidity and greater price volatility than large-capitalization companies. Growth stocks typically are more volatile than value stocks; however, value stocks have a lower expected growth rate in earnings and sales.
 
Fund holdings and sector allocations are subject to change at any time and should not be considered a recommendation to buy or sell any security.  Please see the schedule of investments in this report for complete fund holdings. Current and future portfolio holdings are subject to risk.

EXPENSE EXAMPLE – October 31, 2016 (Unaudited)
As a shareholder of a mutual fund, you 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. 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 Huber Capital Equity Income Fund (“Equity Income Fund”), Huber Capital Small Cap Value Fund (“Small Cap Value Fund”), Huber Capital Diversified Large Cap Value Fund (“Diversified Large Cap Value Fund”), and Huber Capital Mid Cap Value Fund (“Mid Cap Value Fund”) Examples are based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period (5/1/16 – 10/31/16).
 
Actual Expenses
For each class of the Equity Income Fund, the Small Cap Value Fund, the Diversified Large Cap Value Fund and the Mid Cap Value Fund two lines are presented in the tables below – the first line for each class provides information about actual account values and actual expenses.  As of April 1, 2016, actual net expenses are limited to 1.39% for Investor Class shares and 0.99% for Institutional Class shares of the Equity Income Fund, 1.75% for Investor Class shares and 1.35% for Institutional Class shares of the Small Cap Value Fund, 1.15% for Investor Class shares and 0.75% for Institutional Class shares of the Diversified Large Cap Value Fund, and 1.40% for Investor Class shares and 1.10% for Institutional Class shares of the Mid Cap Value Fund per the operating expenses limitation agreement.  Prior to April 1, 2016, actual net expenses per the operating expenses limitation agreement were limited to 1.49% for Investor Class shares of the Equity Income Fund, 1.85% for Investor Class shares of the Small Cap Value Fund, 1.25% for Investor Class shares of the Diversified Large Cap Value Fund and 1.50% for Investor Class shares of the Mid Cap Value Fund. There have been no changes to the Institutional Class expense caps.  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 Examples below include, but are 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.

EXPENSE EXAMPLE – October 31, 2016 (Unaudited), Continued
Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes
For each class of each Fund, the second line for each class provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the respective Fund’s actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Fund’s actual return.  The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Funds and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds.  Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transaction costs, such as sales charges (loads), redemption fees, or exchange fees. Therefore, the second line of the 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 transaction costs were included, your costs would have been higher.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS at October 31, 2016

NOTE 1 – ORGANIZATION
 
The Huber Capital Equity Income Fund, the Huber Capital Small Cap Value Fund, the Huber Capital Diversified Large Cap Value Fund, and the Huber Capital Mid Cap Value Fund (each a “Fund” and collectively, the “Funds”) are each a diversified series of Advisors Series Trust (the “Trust”), which is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, as an open-end management investment company.  Each of the Funds has separate assets and liabilities and differing investment objectives.  The investment objective of the Huber Capital Equity Income Fund (the “Equity Income Fund”), the Huber Capital Mid Cap Value Fund (the “Mid Cap Value Fund”), and the Huber Capital Diversified Large Cap Value Fund (the “Diversified Large Cap Value Fund”) is current income and capital appreciation.  The investment objective of the Huber Capital Small Cap Value Fund (the “Small Cap Value Fund”) is capital appreciation.  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 Investor Class of the Equity Income Fund and the Small Cap Value Fund commenced operations on June 29, 2007.  As of October 25, 2011, the former Institutional shares were re-designated as Investor Class shares.  The Equity Income Fund and the Small Cap Value Fund Institutional Classes subsequently commenced operations on October 25, 2011. The Diversified Large Cap Value Fund commenced operations on December 31, 2012.  The Mid Cap Value Fund commenced operations on December 31, 2015.
 
NOTE 2 – SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
 
The following is a summary of significant accounting policies consistently followed by the Funds in the preparation of their financial statements. 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 the Internal Revenue Code applicable to regulated investment companies and to distribute substantially all of its taxable income to shareholders.  Therefore, no provision for Federal income taxes has been recorded.
 
   
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

Huber Funds
 
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS at October 31, 2016, Continued

   
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 Funds’ 2016 tax returns.  Management has analyzed the Mid Cap Value 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:  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.
 
   
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 the Funds 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 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, annually 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 and character of income and net realized gains to be distributed are determined in accordance with Federal income tax rules and regulations which may 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.

 
51

Huber Funds
 
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS at October 31, 2016, Continued

 
D.
Reclassification of Capital Accounts:  Accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America require that certain components of net assets relating to permanent differences be reclassified between financial and tax reporting.  These reclassifications have no effect on net assets or net asset value per share.
 
   
For the year ended October 31, 2016, the Funds made the following permanent tax adjustments on the statements of assets and liabilities:

     
Undistributed
   
Accumulated
       
     
Net Investment
   
Net Realized
       
     
Income

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 and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of increases and decreases in net assets from operation during the reporting period.  Actual results could differ from those estimates.
 
 
F.
Redemption Fees:  The Funds charge a 1.00% redemption fee to shareholders who redeem shares held for 60 days or less.  Such fees are retained by the Funds and accounted for as an addition to paid-in capital.  The Equity Income Fund, the Small Cap Value Fund, the Diversified Large Cap Value Fund, and the Mid Cap Value Fund retained redemption fees of $123, $1,466, $0, and $0, respectively, during the year ended October 31, 2016.
 
 
G.
REITs:  The Funds have made certain investments in real estate investment trusts (“REITs”) which pay dividends to their shareholders based upon funds available from operations.  It is quite common for these dividends to exceed the REIT’s taxable earnings and profits resulting in the excess portion of such dividends being designated as a return of capital.  The 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.
 
 
H.
Illiquid Securities:  A security may be considered illiquid if it lacks a readily available market.  Securities are generally considered liquid if they can be sold or disposed of in the ordinary course of business within seven

 
52

Huber Funds
 
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS at October 31, 2016, Continued

   
days at approximately the price at which the security is valued by a Fund.  Illiquid securities may be valued under methods approved by the Funds’ Board of Trustees as reflecting fair value.  Each Fund intends to hold no more than 15% of its net assets in illiquid securities.  At October 31, 2016, the Funds had no investments in illiquid securities.
 
 
I.
Events Subsequent to the Fiscal Year End:  In preparing the financial statements as of October 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 speed, credit risk, yield curves, default rates, and similar data.
 
 
Level 3 –
Unobservable inputs for the asset or liability, to the extent relevant observable inputs are not available, representing the Fund’s own assumptions about the assumptions a market participant would use in valuing the asset or liability, and would be based on the best information available.
 
Following is a description of the valuation techniques applied to the Funds’ major categories of assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis.
 
Equity Securities – The Funds’ investments are carried at fair value. Securities 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
 

 
53

Huber Funds
 
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS at October 31, 2016, Continued

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.  The values for foreign securities are reported in local currency and converted to U.S. dollars using currency exchange rates.  Exchange rates are provided daily by a recognized independent pricing agent.  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. 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 October 31, 2016:

NOTE 4 – INVESTMENT ADVISORY FEE AND OTHER TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES
 
The Funds have an investment advisory agreement with Huber Capital Management, 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 the Funds.  As compensation for its services, the Adviser is entitled to a fee, computed daily and payable monthly.  The Equity Income Fund pays fees calculated at an annual rate of 0.99% based upon the Fund’s average daily net assets for the first $10 billion, 0.75% based upon the Fund’s average daily net assets for the next $10 billion, and 0.50% based upon the Fund’s average daily net assets in excess of $20 billion.  The Small Cap Value Fund pays fees calculated at an annual rate of 1.35% based upon the Fund’s average daily net assets for the first $5 billion and 1.00% based upon the Fund’s average daily net assets in excess of $5 billion. The Diversified Large Cap Value Fund pays fees calculated at an annual rate of 0.75% based upon the Fund’s average daily net assets for the first $10 billion and 0.50% based upon the Fund’s average daily net assets in excess of $10 billion.  The Mid Cap Value Fund pays fees calculated at an annual rate of 1.00% based upon the Fund’s average daily net assets.  For the year ended October 31, 2016, the Equity Income Fund, the Small Cap Value Fund, the Diversified Large Cap Value Fund, and the Mid Cap Value Fund incurred $931,528, $2,001,746, $49,582, and $10,246, respectively, in investment advisory fees.
 
The Funds are responsible for their own operating expenses.  As of April 1, 2016, 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 aggregate annual operating expenses to 1.39% and 0.99% of average daily net assets of the Investor Class and Institutional Class of the Equity Income Fund, respectively, to 1.75% and 1.35% of average daily net assets of the Investor Class and Institutional class of the Small Cap Value Fund, respectively, to 1.15% and
 
57

Huber Funds
 
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS at October 31, 2016, Continued

0.75% of average daily net assets of the Investor Class and Institutional Class of the Diversified Large Cap Value Fund, respectively, and to 1.40% and 1.10% of average daily net assets of the Investor Class and Institutional Class of the Mid Cap Value Fund, respectively.  Prior to April 1, 2016, actual net expenses per the operating expenses limitation agreement were limited to 1.49% and 0.99% for the Investor Class and Institutional Class of the Equity Income Fund, 1.85% and 1.35% for the Investor Class and Institutional Class of the Small Cap Value Fund, 1.25% and 0.75% for the Investor Class and Institutional Class of the Diversified Large Cap Value Fund and 1.50% and 1.10% for the Investor Class and Institutional Class of the Mid Cap Value Fund.  Any such reduction made by the Adviser in its fees or payment of expenses which are the Fund’s obligation are subject to reimbursement by the Fund to the Adviser, if so requested by the Adviser, 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 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 Fund’s payment of current ordinary operating expenses.  For the year ended October 31, 2016, the Adviser reduced its fees and absorbed Fund expenses in the amount of $303,526 for the Equity Income Fund, $430,061 for the Small Cap Value Fund, $189,156 for the Diversified Large Cap Value Fund, and $169,269 for the Mid Cap Value Fund.

NOTE 9 – 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.
 
 
Foreign Securities and Emerging Markets Risk – Investments in foreign securities and emerging markets 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 each Fund’s investments. In addition, the Funds may invest in emerging markets which are more volatile than the markets of developed countries.
 
 
Initial Public Offering (“IPO”) Risk – The risk exists that the market value of IPO shares will fluctuate considerably due to factors such as the absence of a prior public market, unseasoned trading, the small number of shares available for trading and limited information about the issuer. The purchase of IPO shares may involve high transaction costs. IPO shares are subject to market risk and liquidity risk. When a Fund’s asset base is small, a significant portion of the Fund’s performance could be attributable to investments in IPOs, because such investments would have a magnified impact on the Fund. As the Fund’s assets grow, the effect of the Fund’s investments in IPOs on the Fund’s performance probably will decline, which could reduce the Fund’s performance.
 
 
Value Style Investing Risk – The value investing style may over time go in and out of favor. At times when the value investing style is out of favor, the Funds may underperform other funds that use different investing styles.
 
 
Sector Emphasis Risk – Securities of companies in the same or related businesses, if comprising a significant portion of each Fund’s portfolio, could react in some circumstances negatively to market conditions, interest rates and economic, regulatory or financial developments and adversely affect the value of the portfolio to a greater extent than if such business comprised a lesser portion of the Fund’s portfolio.
 
 
Small Companies Risk (Small Cap Value Fund only) – Investing in securities of small-sized companies may involve greater volatility than investing in larger and more established companies because companies with small market capitalizations can be subject to more abrupt or erratic share price changes than larger, more established companies.

 
63

Huber Funds
 
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS at October 31, 2016, Continued

 
Mid Cap Company Risk (Mid Cap Value Fund only) – A mid cap company may be more vulnerable to adverse business or economic events than stocks of larger companies. These stocks present greater risks than securities of larger, more diversified companies.
 
NOTE 10 – SUBSEQUENT EVENT – SMALL CAP VALUE FUND (Unaudited)
 
Effective December 1, 2016, the Adviser has temporarily reduced the advisory fee paid by the Small Cap Value Fund from 1.35% to 0.98% of the Fund’s average daily net assets.  This voluntary waiver of advisory fees will remain in effect until November 30, 2017.  The Adviser is not able to recoup the voluntarily waived advisory fees.

We have audited the accompanying statements of assets and liabilities of the Huber Capital Equity Income Fund, Huber Capital Small Cap Value Fund, Huber Capital Diversified Large Cap Value Fund and Huber Capital Mid Cap Value Fund (the “Funds”), each a series of Advisors Series Trust, including the schedules of investments, as of October 31, 2016, and 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, in regards to the Huber Capital Diversified Large Cap Value Fund,  financial highlights for the three years in the period then ended and for the period December 31, 2012 (commencement of operations) to October 31, 2013, in regards to the Huber Capital Mid Cap Value Fund, the statements of changes in net assets and the financial highlights for the period December 31, 2015 (commencement of operations) to October 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 Funds are not required to have, nor were we been engaged to perform, an audit of their 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 Fund’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 October 31, 2016, by correspondence with the custodian and brokers or by other appropriate auditing procedures where replies from brokers were not received. 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 Huber Capital Equity Income Fund,  Huber Capital Small Cap Value Fund, Huber Capital Diversified Large Cap Value Fund and the Huber Capital Mid Cap Value Fund, as of October 31, 2016, and the results of their operations for the year then ended, and the changes in their net assets, and the financial highlights for the periods indicated above, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

HOUSEHOLDING (Unaudited

In an effort to decrease costs, the Funds intend to reduce the number of duplicate prospectuses, annual and semi-annual reports, proxy statements and other regulatory 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 1-888-482-3726 (888-HUBERCM) to request individual copies of these documents.  Once the Funds receive 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.

Item 2. Code of Ethics.

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

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

Item 3. Audit Committee Financial Expert.

The registrant’s Board of Trustees has determined that 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.
