May 31, 2017
 
Dear Shareholder:
 
The fiscal six-month period ended April 30, 2017, was marked by sustained oil price weakness, declining unemployment, a slight uptick in interest rates and a seemingly unlikely republican victory in the U.S. presidential election.  Following the U.S. election, the market experienced a strong rotation into highly cyclical sectors, buoyed by indications that the new administration would use tax reform and deregulation to stimulate economic growth. Treasury yields rose and equity markets gained as investors abandoned safer investments in favor of riskier assets that could benefit from rapid economic growth. Equity markets moved up sharply, led by financials, small caps, industrials, and materials.  As measured by Russell indices, growth outperformed value, and small capitalization stocks outperformed large ones.
 
During the six-months ended April 30, 2017, the Huber Capital Equity Income Fund (“Equity Income Fund”) and Huber Capital Diversified Large Cap Value Fund (“Diversified Large Cap Value Fund”) both outperformed the Russell 1000® Value Index, their primary benchmark. The Huber Capital Small Cap Value Fund (“Small Cap Value Fund”) underperformed the Russell 2000® Value Index, the Fund’s primary benchmark.  Results of the Huber Capital Mid Cap Value Fund (“Mid Cap Value Fund”) were mixed, as Institutional Class shares modestly outperformed their benchmark, the Russell Midcap® Value Index, and Investor Class shares modestly trailed.
 
Equity Income Fund Review
 
For the fiscal six-month period ended April 30, 2017, the Equity Income Fund Investor Class and Institutional Class returned 13.42% and 13.66%, respectively, outperforming the 11.69% total return of the Russell 1000® Value Index and the 13.32% total return of the S&P 500® Index.  The sectors that contributed most positively to the Fund’s performance relative to the benchmark Russell 1000® Value Index were financial services and energy, while producer durables were the largest detractor. Cash was also a detractor due to the market’s double-digit upswing during the period. Stocks that were most additive to relative performance were CNO Financial Group, Inc. (CNO) (“CNO Financial Group”), Bank of America Corp. (BAC) (“Bank of America”) and Voya Financial Inc. (VOYA) (“Voya Financial”). Most notable detractors were KBR, Inc. (KBR) (“KBR”), Herbalife Ltd. (HLF) (“Herbalife”) and Tyson Foods, Inc. (TSN) (“Tyson Foods”).
 
CNO Financial Group experienced a strong rebound in the period, as the market realized that accounting concerns surrounding a previously divested business were overblown.  Bank of America, along with other financials, rose sharply after the election due to expectations of a steeper yield curve and more relaxed regulatory environment.  Voya Financial also contributed strongly for reasons similar to Bank of America, as well as improvements in their variable rate annuity business.
 
1

The Equity Income Fund was most negatively impacted by its ownership in KBR, an engineering and construction company, which saw share price weakness due to disappointing quarterly results. In its earnings conference call, the company disclosed a charge on several fixed priced projects due to cost overruns.  Herbalife, a global nutritional supplements marketer, saw share price weakness on concerns over a senior management change and the ability of the company to comply with upcoming FTC guidelines. Tyson Foods underperformed during the period due to flattening earnings trends after a period of strong growth, as well as some legal uncertainties related to industry pricing.
 
Small Cap Value Fund Review
 
For the fiscal six-month period ended April 30, 2017, the Small Cap Value Fund Investor Class and Institutional Class returned 13.49% and 13.67%, respectively. The Fund underperformed the 18.26% total return of the Russell 2000® Value Index benchmark and the 18.37% total return of the Russell 2000® Index.  Sectors that contributed most positively to the Fund’s performance relative to the benchmark Russell 2000® Value Index were energy and financial services, while the most notable detractors were producer durables and technology. Cash was a detractor due to the market’s strong double-digit gains. Strongest contributors to performance were CNO Financial Group, Comtech Telecommunications Corp. (CMTL) (“Comtech Telecommunications”) and Park Sterling Corp. (PSTB) (“Park Sterling”).  Stocks that detracted the most from relative performance were KBR, Virtus Investment Partners, Inc. (VRTS) (“Virtus Investment Partners”) and ARRIS International plc (ARRS) (“ARRIS International”).
 
The Fund was most positively impacted by its ownership of CNO Financial Group, Comtech Telecommunications and Park Sterling. CNO Financial Group was discussed earlier in this letter.  Comtech Telecommunications, a communication solutions provider, benefited from positive earnings and sentiment improvement in their business prospects, including two potential projects that could materially strengthen their book of business.  Park Sterling, a bank holding company, benefited from expectations of a steeper yield curve and a more relaxed regulatory environment.  The company was acquired at a premium during the period.
 
The Fund was negatively impacted the most by its ownership in KBR, Virtus Investment Partners, and ARRIS International. KBR was discussed earlier in this letter. The share price of Virtus Investment Partners, a company that provides investment products to individuals and institutions, experienced a decline following their earnings report.  While asset flows and revenues were favorable, higher than expected operating costs negatively impacted results.  ARRIS International, a supplier of equipment and network infrastructure to broadband internet service providers, experienced share price weakness due to disappointing earnings guidance.  Though orders from their core customers in the first quarter fell short of guidance, they are expected to improve in the long term.

Diversified Large Cap Value Fund Review
 
For the fiscal six-month period ended April 30, 2017, the Diversified Large Cap Value Fund Investor Class and Institutional Class returned 13.08% and 13.28%, respectively, outperforming the 11.69% total return of the Russell 1000® Value Index, and underperforming the 13.32% total return of the broader S&P 500® Index.  Sectors that contributed most positively to the Fund’s performance relative to the benchmark Russell 1000® Value Index were financial services and energy, while producer durables was the most notable detractor. Cash was a detractor due to positive market performance during the period.  Stocks that were most accretive to relative performance were CNO Financial Group, Bank of America, and Arconic, Inc. (ARNC) (“Arconic”).  Most notable detractors to relative performance were KBR, Herbalife, and Tyson Foods.
 
The Fund’s largest positive contributors, CNO Financial Group and Bank of America, were discussed earlier in this letter. Arconic, a spinoff from Alcoa Corp. that is engaged in lightweight metals engineering and manufacturing, benefitted from an activist campaign which has the potential to push the company to cut costs and improve margins.
 
The Fund’s largest negative contributors, KBR, Herbalife, and Tyson Foods, were discussed earlier in this letter.
 
Mid Cap Value Fund Review
 
For the fiscal six-month period ended April 30, 2017, the Mid Cap Value Fund Investor Class and Institutional Class returned 12.41% and 12.52%, respectively, versus the 12.42% total return of the Russell Midcap® Value Index.  The sectors that contributed most positively to the Fund’s performance relative to the benchmark Russell Midcap® Value Index were financial services and energy, while the sectors that detracted the most from relative performance were technology and producer durables. Stocks that were most additive to relative performance were CNO Financial Group, Arconic, and Mercer International, Inc. (MERC) (“Mercer International”). Most notable detractors from relative performance were KBR, Virtus Investment Partners, and Iconix Brand Group, Inc. (ICON) (“Iconix Brand Group”).
 
The Fund’s largest positive contributors, CNO Financial Group and Arconic, were discussed earlier in this letter, as were its largest detractors, KBR and Virtus Investment Partners.
 
Mercer International, a producer of pulp, made an accretive acquisition which the market viewed as a good use of cash on their balance sheet.
 
Iconix Brand Group, a company engaged in the licensing and marketing of consumer brands, saw share price reduction due to concerns regarding balance sheet leverage and weak underlying business fundamentals. The company has new management in place and we believe they can improve operations and
 
3

maximize the value of the company’s brands.  Additionally, management seeks to de-lever the balance sheet through asset sales and by utilizing cash flow to pay down debt.
 
Outlook
 
In contrast to the strong rally in deep value and small capitalization stocks at the end of 2016, the first 4 months of 2017 have seen a renewed interest in large capitalization growth stocks.  This is partially due to narrowing of the valuation gap between growth and value stocks, as well as small and large cap stocks.  Additionally, anticipation of drastic overhauls by the Trump administration in areas such as healthcare policy, tax reform, and infrastructure spending, appear to have abated somewhat, further contributing to renewed interest in large cap stocks.  In our view, the interest in growth stocks may be overdone, favoring a disciplined and long-term contrarian value approach.
 
In general, Huber Capital Management, LLC (“HCM”) maintains a high degree of optimism with respect to its portfolios.  Despite adverse market conditions that provided significant challenges for active value managers over the past three years, HCM has remained disciplined to its philosophy and process, populating its portfolios with companies we believe have tangible valuation support and meaningful potential upside. It continues to be HCM’s view that a company’s valuation should ultimately revert to reflect its normalized cash generation capabilities and that populating a portfolio with companies which trade at a discount to normalized earnings should produce superior risk-adjusted returns over time.
 
With respect to portfolio positioning, we strive to maintain neutrality with respect to the weight of important factors in the macro-economy, consistent with being a 100% bottom-up manager.  In our view, benchmarks have become price momentum strategies, particularly with the focus of investment flows recently into passive strategies.  As such, sector weights within indices may not be reflective of the weight of the underlying factor in the macro-economy.  Further, frequently used classification schema (e.g. GICS) may assign companies to sectors which, in our view, don’t accurately reflect the company’s primary exposure.  For this reason, although we maintain factor neutrality with respect to the macro-economy, we may at times appear to be over- or under-weight relative to the sector weights of the Funds’ corresponding benchmarks.
 
Currently, relative to the Russell 2000 Value Index, the Small Cap Value Fund is overweight materials & processing, consumer discretionary and producer durables and underweight energy, financial services, utilities, health care and technology. Relative to the Russell 1000 Value Index, the Equity Income Fund is overweight consumer discretionary, technology, producer durables and health care and underweight financial services, utilities, energy, material and processing and consumer staples.  Relative to the Russell 1000 Value Index, the Diversified Large Cap Value Fund is overweight consumer discretionary,
 
4

technology, producer durables and health care and underweight financial services, utilities, energy, materials and processing and consumer staples.  Relative to the Russell Midcap Value Index, the Mid Cap Value Fund is overweight materials and processing, consumer discretionary, financial services, producer durables and technology and underweight utilities, energy, health care and consumer staples.
 
Thank you for your support and for entrusting us with your investment dollars.  We continue to work hard to earn your trust and aim to meet your investment needs in the years to come.
 
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 companies involve additional risks such as limited liquidity and greater volatility. Small- and medium-capitalization companies tend to have 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.
 
The information provided herein represents the opinion of Huber Capital Management, LLC and is not intended to be a forecast of future events, a guarantee of future results, nor investment advice.
 
The S&P 500® Index, an unmanaged index, consists of 500 stocks chosen for market size, liquidity, and industry group representation.  It is a market-value weighted index (stock price times number of shares outstanding), with each stock’s weight in the Index proportionate to its market value.
 
The Russell 1000® Value Index measures the performance of those Russell 1000® companies with lower price-to-book ratios and lower forecasted growth values.
 
The Russell 2000® Index, an unmanaged index, is comprised of the 2,000 smallest companies in the Russell 3000® Index.
 
The Russell 2000® Value Index measures the performance of those Russell 2000® companies with lower price-to-book ratios and lower forecasted growth values.

 
5

The Russell Midcap® Value Index (“RMV”), an unmanaged index, measures the performance of the mid-cap value segment of the U.S. equity universe. It is a market capitalization weighted index representing the smallest 800 companies of the Russell 1000® Index.  It includes those Russell Midcap companies with lower price-to-book ratios and lower expected growth values.
 
The indexes do not reflect the payment of transaction costs, fees and expenses associated with an investment in the Funds.  The Funds’ value disciplines may prevent or restrict investment in major stocks in the benchmark indices.  It is not possible to invest directly in an index.  The Funds’ returns may not correlate with the returns of their benchmark indexes.
 
Diversification does not assure a profit, nor does it protect against a loss in a declining market.

EXPENSE EXAMPLE – April 30, 2017 (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 (11/1/16 – 4/30/17).
 
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.  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. 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.

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 April 30, 2017 (Unaudited)

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 tax

Huber Funds

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS at April 30, 2017 (Unaudited), Continued

   
positions of the Equity Income Fund, the Small Cap Value Fund, and the Diversified Large Cap Value Fund, 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 2014 – 2016, or expected to be taken in the Funds’ 2017 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 taken on returns filed for the open tax year 2016, or expected to be taken in the Fund’s 2017 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

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS at April 30, 2017 (Unaudited), Continued

   
differences are permanent, such amounts are reclassified within the capital accounts based on their Federal tax treatment.
 
 
D.
Reclassification of Capital Accounts:  Accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America require that certain components of net assets relating to permanent differences be reclassified between financial and tax reporting.  These reclassifications have no effect on net assets or net asset value per share.
 
 
E.
Use of Estimates:  The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities 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 operations 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 $13, $66, $0, and $0, respectively, during the six months ended April 30, 2017.
 
 
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 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 April 30, 2017, the Funds had no investments in illiquid securities.
 
 
I.
New Accounting Pronouncement:  In October 2016, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission adopted new rules and amended existing rules (together, “final rules”) intended to modernize the reporting and disclosure

of information by registered investment companies. In part, the final rules amend Regulation S-X and require standardized, enhanced disclosure about derivatives in investment company financial statements, as well as other amendments. The compliance date for the amendments to Regulation S-X is August 1, 2017. Management is currently evaluating the impact that the adoption of the amendments to Regulation S-X will have on the financial statements and related disclosures.
 
 
J.
Events Subsequent to the Fiscal Period End:  In preparing the financial statements as of April 30, 2017, 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 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 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 securities having a maturity of 60 days or less are valued at amortized cost, which approximates market value.  To the extent the inputs are observable and timely, these securities would be classified in level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.
 
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 April 30, 2017:

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. For the period December 1, 2016 through November 30, 2017, the Adviser has agreed to voluntarily reduce its contractual management fee from 1.35% to 0.98%.  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 six months ended April 30, 2017, the Equity Income Fund, the Small Cap Value Fund, the Diversified Large Cap Value Fund, and the Mid Cap Value Fund incurred $470,964, $567,231, $24,935, and $7,500, respectively, in investment advisory fees.
 
The Funds are responsible for their own operating expenses.  The Adviser has agreed to reduce fees payable to it by the Funds and to pay Fund operating expenses to the extent necessary to limit the Fund’s aggregate annual operating expenses as follows:

Institutional
   
Class

Percent of average daily net assets of the Funds.
   
 
Any such reduction made by the Adviser in its fees or payment of expenses which are the Funds’ obligation are subject to reimbursement by the Funds to the Adviser, if so requested by the Adviser, in subsequent fiscal years if the aggregate
 


55

Huber Funds

amount actually paid by the Funds toward the operating expenses for such fiscal year (taking into account the reimbursement) does not exceed the applicable limitation on Fund expenses.  The Adviser is permitted to be reimbursed only for fee reductions and expense payments made in the previous three fiscal years.  Any such reimbursement is also contingent upon Board of Trustees review and approval at the time the reimbursement is made. Such reimbursement may not be paid prior to the Fund’s payment of current ordinary operating expenses.  The Adviser cannot recoup previously waived fees or expenses paid during the period of time it has agreed to voluntarily reduce its management fee.  The Adviser is also not able to recoup the voluntarily waived advisory fees.
 
For the six months ended April 30, 2017, the Adviser reduced its fees and absorbed Fund expenses in the amount of $153,526 for the Equity Income Fund, $31,960 for the Small Cap Value Fund, $98,913 for the Diversified Large Cap Value Fund, and $102,575 for the Mid Cap Value Fund.

NOTE 10 – ADVISOR REIMBURSEMENT FOR LOSS
 
On March 28, 2017, the Fund received a reimbursement of $93.68 from the Adviser related to net losses incurred on the disposal of investments that were purchased in violation of the Fund’s investment restrictions during the six months ended April 30, 2017.  The net reimbursement comprises the “net increase from payment by affiliate on the disposal of investments in violation of investment restrictions” in the statement of operations.
 
NOTE 11 – PRINCIPAL RISKS
 
Below is a summary of some, but not all, of the principal risks of investing in the Funds, each of which may adversely affect a Fund’s net asset value and total return. The Funds’ most recent prospectus provides further descriptions of each Fund’s investment objective, principal investment strategies and principal risks.
 
 
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,


61

Huber Funds

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS at April 30, 2017 (Unaudited), Continued

   
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.
 
 
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.

APPROVAL OF INVESTMENT ADVISORY AGREEMENT (Unaudited)

Huber Capital Equity Income Fund
Huber Capital Small Cap Value Fund
Huber Capital Diversified Large Cap Value Fund
 
The following investment advisory agreement approval language pertains only to the Huber Capital Equity Income Fund, the Huber Capital Small Cap Value Fund and the Huber Capital Diversified Large Cap Value Fund.  For the investment advisory agreement approval language that pertains to the Huber Capital Mid Cap Value Fund, please refer to the Funds’ semi-annual report dated April 30, 2016.
 
At a meeting held on December 7-8, 2016, the Board (which is comprised of five persons, four of whom are Independent Trustees as defined under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended), considered and approved the continuance of the investment advisory agreement (the “Advisory Agreement”) between Advisors Series Trust (the “Trust”) and Huber Capital Management, LLC (the “Adviser”) for another annual term for the Huber Capital Equity Income Fund (the “Equity Income Fund”), Huber Capital Small Cap Value Fund (the “Small Cap Value Fund”), and the Huber Capital Diversified Large Cap Value Fund (the “Diversified Large Cap Value Fund”) (collectively, the “Funds”).  At this meeting, and at a prior meeting held on October 11-12, 2016, the Board received and reviewed substantial information regarding the Funds, the Adviser and the services provided by the Adviser to the Funds under the Advisory Agreement.  This information, together with the information provided to the Board throughout the course of the year, formed the primary (but not exclusive) basis for the Board’s determination.  Below is a summary of the factors considered by the Board and the conclusions that formed the basis for the Board’s approval of the continuance of the Advisory Agreement:
 
 
1.
THE NATURE, EXTENT AND QUALITY OF THE SERVICES PROVIDED AND TO BE PROVIDED BY THE ADVISER UNDER THE ADVISORY AGREEMENT.  The Board considered the nature, extent and quality of the Adviser’s overall services provided to the Funds as well as its specific responsibilities in all aspects of day-to-day investment management of the Funds. The Board considered the qualifications, experience and responsibilities of the portfolio manager, as well as the responsibilities of other key personnel of the Adviser involved in the day-to-day activities of the Funds.  The Board also considered the resources and compliance structure of the Adviser, including information regarding its compliance program, its chief compliance officer, the Adviser’s compliance record, and the Adviser’s disaster recovery/business continuity plan.  The Board also considered the prior relationship between the Adviser and the Trust, as well as the Board’s knowledge of the Adviser’s operations, and noted that during the course of the prior year they had met with the Adviser in person to discuss the Funds’ performance and


64

Huber Funds

APPROVAL OF INVESTMENT ADVISORY AGREEMENT (Unaudited), Continued

   
investment outlook as well as various marketing and compliance topics, including the Adviser’s risk management process.  The Board concluded that the Adviser had the quality and depth of personnel, resources, investment methods and compliance policies and procedures essential to performing its duties under the Advisory Agreement and that the nature, overall quality and extent of such management services are satisfactory.
 
 
2.
THE FUNDS’ HISTORICAL PERFORMANCE AND THE OVERALL PERFORMANCE OF THE ADVISER.  In assessing the quality of the portfolio management delivered by the Adviser, the Board reviewed the short-term and long-term performance of the Funds as of June 30, 2016 on both an absolute basis and in comparison to its peer funds utilizing Lipper and Morningstar classifications and appropriate securities benchmarks.  While the Board considered both short-term and long-term performance, it placed greater emphasis on longer term performance.  When reviewing performance against the comparative peer group universe, the Board took into account that the investment objectives and strategies of the Funds, as well as each Fund’s level of risk tolerance, may differ significantly from funds in the peer universe. In considering each Fund’s performance, the Trustees placed greater emphasis on performance against peers as opposed to the unmanaged benchmark indices.
 
   
Equity Income Fund: The Board noted that the Fund’s performance, with regard to its Lipper comparative universe, was below its peer group median for the one-year, three-year and five-year periods and above the peer group median for the since inception period.
 
   
The Board noted that the Fund’s performance, with regard to its Morningstar comparative universe, was below its peer group median for all relevant periods.
 
   
The Board also considered any differences in performance between the Adviser’s similarly managed accounts and the performance of the Fund, noting the Adviser’s explanation for the differences, including that the Fund is managed for tax efficiency, differences in cash flow and client-specific restrictions. The Board also reviewed the performance of the Fund against broad-based securities market benchmarks.
 
   
The Board noted that the Fund had underperformed in more recent periods and that the Board would continue to monitor the Fund’s performance.
 
   
Small Cap Value Fund: The Board noted that the Fund’s performance, with regard to its Lipper comparative universe, was significantly below its peer group median for the one-year and three-year periods and below its peer group median for the five-year and since inception periods.


65

Huber Funds

APPROVAL OF INVESTMENT ADVISORY AGREEMENT (Unaudited), Continued

   
The Board noted that the Fund’s performance, with regard to its Morningstar comparative universe, was significantly below its peer group median for the one-year and three-year periods and below its peer group median for the five-year and since inception periods.
 
   
The Board also considered any differences in performance between the Adviser’s similarly managed accounts and the performance of the Fund, noting the Adviser’s explanation for the differences, including that the Fund is managed for tax efficiency, differences in cash flow and client-specific restrictions. The Board also reviewed the performance of the Fund against broad-based securities market benchmarks.
 
   
The Board noted that the Fund had underperformed in more recent periods but that relative performance was better over longer periods of time and that the Board would continue to monitor the Fund’s performance.  The Board also considered that the Adviser had agreed to reduce its advisory fee as discussed below.
 
   
Diversified Large Cap Value Fund: The Board noted that the Fund’s performance, with regard to its Lipper comparative universe, was below its peer group median for all relevant periods.
 
   
The Board noted that the Fund’s performance, with regard to its Morningstar comparative universe, was below its peer group median for all relevant periods.
 
   
The Board also considered any differences in performance between similarly managed accounts and the performance of the Fund, noting the Adviser’s explanation for the differences, including that the Fund is managed for tax efficiency, differences in cash flow and client-specific restrictions. The Board also reviewed the performance of the Fund against broad-based securities market benchmarks.
 
   
The Board noted that the Fund had underperformed and that the Board would continue to monitor the Fund’s performance.
 
 
3.
THE COSTS OF THE SERVICES TO BE PROVIDED BY THE ADVISER AND THE STRUCTURE OF THE ADVISER’S FEE UNDER THE ADVISORY AGREEMENT.  In considering the advisory fee and total fees and expenses of each of the Funds, the Board reviewed comparisons to the peer funds and the Adviser’s similarly managed separate accounts for other types of clients, as well as all expense waivers and reimbursements.  When reviewing fees charged to other similarly managed accounts, the Board took into account the type of account and the differences in the management of that account that might be germane to the difference, if any, in the fees charged to such accounts.  The Board


66

Huber Funds

APPROVAL OF INVESTMENT ADVISORY AGREEMENT (Unaudited), Continued

   
found that the fees charged to the Funds were generally higher than the fees charged by the Adviser to its similarly managed separate account clients due to the nature of the separate account clients and the greater costs to the Adviser of managing the Funds.
 
   
Equity Income Fund: The Board noted that the Adviser had contractually agreed to maintain an annual expense ratio for the Fund of 1.39% for Investor Class shares and 0.99% for Institutional Class shares (the “Expense Caps”).  The Board noted that the Fund’s total expense ratio for Investor Class shares was above the peer group median and average, as well as above the peer group median and average when the Fund’s peer group was adjusted to include only funds with similar asset sizes. The Board also noted that the total expense ratio for Institutional Class shares was below the peer group median and average, as well as below the peer group median and average when the Fund’s peer group was adjusted to include only funds with similar asset sizes.  The Board noted that the contractual advisory fee was significantly above the peer group median and average, as well as above the peer group median and average when the Fund’s peer group was adjusted to include only funds with similar asset sizes.  The Board also considered that after advisory fee waivers and the reimbursement of Fund expenses necessary to maintain the Expense Caps, the net advisory fee received by the Adviser from the Fund during the most recent fiscal period was slightly above the peer group median and average, as well as slightly above the peer group median and average when the Fund’s peer group was adjusted to include only funds with similar asset sizes.  The Board also took into consideration the services the Adviser provided to its institutional separate account clients, comparing the fees charged for those management services to the management fees charged to the Fund.  The Board found that the contractual management fees charged to the Fund were above the fees charged to its institutional separate account clients except at very high asset levels, noting the Adviser represented that there are higher costs associated with managing the Fund and that the minimum investment amount for the separate account clients is much higher than that of the Fund.  As a result, the Board noted that the Fund’s expenses and contractual advisory fee were generally above the range of its peer group but that they were not unreasonable.
 
   
Small Cap Value Fund: The Board noted that the Adviser had contractually agreed to maintain Expense Caps for the Fund of 1.75% for Investor Class shares and 1.35% for Institutional Class shares.  The Board noted that the Fund’s total expense ratio for Investor Class shares was above the peer group


67

Huber Funds

APPROVAL OF INVESTMENT ADVISORY AGREEMENT (Unaudited), Continued

   
median and average, as well as above the peer group median and average when the Fund’s peer group was adjusted to include only funds with similar asset sizes.  The Board also noted that the total expense ratio for Institutional Class shares was above the peer group median and the same as the peer group average. The Board noted that the Fund’s total expense ratio for the Institutional Class when the Fund’s peer group was adjusted to include only funds with similar asset sizes was above both the peer group median and average.  The Board also noted that the contractual advisory fee was significantly above the peer group median and average, as well as above the peer group median and average when the Fund’s peer group was adjusted to include only funds with similar asset sizes.  The Board also considered that after advisory fee waivers and the reimbursement of Fund expenses necessary to maintain the Expense Caps, the advisory fees from the Fund during the most recent fiscal period were above the peer group median and average, as well as above the peer group median and average when the Fund’s peer group was adjusted to include only funds with similar asset sizes.  The Board also took into consideration the services the Adviser provided to its institutional separate account clients, comparing the fees charged for those management services to the management fees charged to the Fund.  The Board found that the management fees charged to the Fund were above the fees charged to its institutional separate account clients except at very high asset levels, noting the Adviser represented that there are higher costs associated with managing the Fund.  After discussion, and considering the performance difficulties experienced by the Fund in recent periods, the Board and the Adviser agreed that the Adviser would voluntarily reduce its contractual management fee from 1.35% to 0.98% for a period of one year, which would result in a decrease in the net advisory fee, after waivers and reimbursement, of 0.05%.  The Board noted that the Fund’s expenses and contractual advisory fee were generally above the range of its peer group but that they were not unreasonable.
 
   
Diversified Large Cap Value Fund: The Board noted that the Adviser had contractually agreed to maintain Expense Caps for the Fund of 1.15% for Investor Class shares and 0.75% for Institutional Class shares.  The Board noted that the Fund’s total expense ratio for Investor Class shares was above the peer group median and average. The Board also noted that the Fund’s total expense ratio for Investor Class shares when the Fund’s peer group was adjusted to include only funds with similar asset sizes was below the peer group median and average.  The Board noted that the total expense ratio for Institutional Class shares was below the peer group median and average, as well as below the peer group median and average when the Fund’s peer group was adjusted to include only funds with


68

Huber Funds

APPROVAL OF INVESTMENT ADVISORY AGREEMENT (Unaudited), Continued

   
similar asset sizes.  The Board also noted that the contractual advisory fee was above the peer group median and average. The Board noted that the contractual advisory fee when the Fund’s peer group was adjusted to include only funds with similar size was below the peer group median and above the peer group average.  The Board also considered that after advisory fee waivers and the reimbursement of Fund expenses necessary to maintain the Expense Caps, the Adviser did not receive any advisory fees from the Fund during the most recent fiscal period.  The Board also took into consideration the services the Adviser provided to its institutional separate account clients, comparing the fees charged for those management services to the management fees charged to the Fund.  The Board found that the management fees charged to the Fund were above the fees charged to its institutional separate account clients except at very high asset levels, noting the Adviser represented that there are higher costs associated with managing the Fund.  As a result, the Board noted that the Fund’s expenses and contractual advisory fee were not outside the range of its peer group.
 
 
4.
ECONOMIES OF SCALE.  The Board also considered whether economies of scale were being realized by the Adviser that should be shared with shareholders, noting that the Advisory Agreement provides for breakpoints when the Funds reach certain asset levels (beginning at $10 billion for the Equity Income Fund, $5 billion for the Small Cap Value Fund and $10 billion for the Diversified Large Cap Value Fund).  The Board noted that these breakpoint levels were significantly above current asset levels and that they would continue to review economies of scale at asset levels that were significantly below these breakpoint levels. The Board noted that the Adviser has contractually agreed to reduce its advisory fees or reimburse Fund expenses so that the Funds do not exceed the specified Expense Caps and also considered that each Fund’s advisory fees contained breakpoints at very high asset levels.  The Board noted that since the Adviser continued to waive all or a portion of its advisory fee to maintain the Expense Caps, at current asset levels, it did not appear that there were additional significant economies of scale being realized by the Adviser that should be shared with shareholders. As a result, the Board concluded that it would continue to monitor economies of scale in the future as circumstances changed and assuming asset levels continue to increase.  The Board noted that the current breakpoint schedules in the Advisory Agreement may be adjusted if additional significant economies of scale are realized as Fund assets grow such that their economies may be shared with shareholders at lower asset levels than currently provided in the Advisory Agreement.

5.
THE PROFITS TO BE REALIZED BY THE ADVISER AND ITS AFFILIATES FROM THEIR RELATIONSHIP WITH THE FUNDS.  The Board reviewed the Adviser’s financial information and took into account both the direct benefits and the indirect benefits to the Adviser from advising the Funds.  The Board considered the profitability to the Adviser from its relationship with the Funds and considered any additional benefits, including benefits received in the form of Rule 12b-1 fees received by the Adviser, “soft dollars” benefits that may be received by the Adviser in exchange for Fund brokerage, and shareholder servicing plan fees received by the Adviser.  The Board also reviewed information from the Adviser indicating that clients do not invest in the Funds through separately managed accounts, and as a result the Adviser was not receiving additional fall-out benefits from any such relationships.  After such review, the Board determined that the profitability to the Adviser with respect to the Advisory Agreement was not excessive, and that the Adviser had maintained sufficient resources and profit levels to support the services it provides to the Funds.
 
No single factor was determinative of the Board’s decision to approve the continuance of the Advisory Agreement for the Equity Income Fund, Small Cap Value Fund and Diversified Large Cap Value Fund, but rather the Board based its determination on the total combination of information available to them.  Based on a consideration of all the factors in their totality, the Board determined that the advisory arrangements with the Adviser, including the advisory fees, were fair and reasonable.  The Board therefore determined that the continuance of the Advisory Agreement for the Equity Income Fund, Small Cap Value Fund and the Diversified Large Cap Value Fund would be in the best interests of the Funds and their shareholders.
