December 9, 2019
 
Dear Shareholder:
 
For the 10/31/19 fiscal year, the Huber Capital Diversified Large Cap Value Fund1 (“Diversified Large Cap Fund”) underperformed both the Russell 1000® Value Index and the S&P 500® Index.  The Huber Capital Equity Income Fund2 (“Equity Income Fund”) outperformed the Russell 1000® Value Index but underperformed the S&P 500® Index.  The Huber Capital Small Cap Value Fund3 (“Small Cap Value Fund”) outperformed its benchmarks, the Russell 2000® Value Index and the Russell 2000® Index.  The Huber Capital Mid Cap Value Fund4 (“Mid Cap Value Fund”) underperformed its benchmark, the Russell Midcap® Value Index.
 
Equity markets performed solidly during the fiscal year.  Growth once again outpaced value and large caps outperformed small caps.  While headlines have produced volatility, particularly surrounding international trade, economic indicators broadly suggest the U.S. economy is healthy.
 
Diversified Large Cap Value Fund Review
 
The Investor Class and Institutional Class of the Diversified Large Cap Value Fund returned 9.17% and 9.25%, respectively, underperforming the 11.21% total return of the Russell 1000® Value Index and the 14.33% total return of the S&P 500® Index for the fiscal year ending October 31, 2019.  Relative to the Russell 1000® Value Index, the largest positive contributors to the Fund’s relative performance were producer durables and technology, while the largest detractors were energy and health care.
 
Within producer durables, shares of KBR, Inc. (“KBR”), an energy-focused engineering and construction company, posted better than expected growth driven by a pickup in E&P expenditure and government services markets, as well as progress on the Ichthys LNG project.
 
Within technology, Microsoft Corp. (“Microsoft”) was the largest contributor to relative performance. Shares of Microsoft performed well due to their intelligent cloud segment, Azure, gaining market share, as well as growth in LinkedIn and Office 365 Commercial.
 
In terms of detractors, Chesapeake Energy (“Chesapeake”) and Golar LNG Partners LP (“Golar”) were the largest detractors from relative performance within energy. Shares of Chesapeake, an exploration and production company, were impacted by declines in crude oil prices coupled with a challenged balance

sheet.  We believe the operating environment should improve, which could ultimately reduce balance sheet leverage and improve equity value.  Golar was negatively impacted by weaker than expected LNG (liquified natural gas) carrier pricing.  Our long-term outlook for the business remains intact, and we continue to expect carrier pricing improvement along with contract extensions and an upsizing of the Hilli, as well as on time delivery of Golar Power.
 
Lastly, within health care, Pfizer, Inc. (“Pfizer”) and Mylan N.V. (“Mylan”) were the largest detractors from relative performance.  Pfizer underperformed due to boxed warnings on the highest dose of Xeljanz, indicating increased blood clot risk on its highest dose, as well as investor hesitance over execution risk surrounding separation of the company into 3 entities (Upjohn, consumer healthcare, and the legacy innovative business).  Mylan underperformed due to greater than anticipated declines in generic drug price and volume trends, driven by a combination of manufacturing missteps and heightened competition.  Mylan also delayed several new product launches.
 
Equity Income Fund Review
 
The Investor and Institutional Classes of the Equity Income Fund returned 12.03% and 12.43%, respectively, outperforming the 11.21% total return of the Russell 1000® Value Index and underperforming the 14.33% total return of the S&P 500® Index during the fiscal year ending October 31, 2019.  Relative to the Russell 1000® Value Index, the largest positive contributors to the Fund’s performance were producer durables and technology, while the largest sector detractor was energy.
 
Within producer durables, KBR was the largest contributor to relative performance. KBR was discussed in the Diversified Large Cap Value Fund section of this letter.
 
Within technology, Microsoft was the largest contributor to relative performance.  Microsoft was discussed in the Diversified Large Cap Value Fund section of this letter.
 
In terms of detractors, Chesapeake and Golar were the largest detractors from relative performance within energy.  Both companies were discussed in the Diversified Large Cap Value Fund section of this letter.
 
Within health care, Pfizer and Mylan were the largest detractors from relative performance. Both companies were discussed in the Diversified Large Cap Value Fund section of this letter.
 
Small Cap Value Fund Review
 
The Investor and Institutional Classes of the Small Cap Value Fund returned 7.97% and 8.16%, respectively, outperforming the Russell 2000® Value Index and the Russell 2000® Index, which generated total returns of 3.22% and 4.90%, respectively, in the fiscal year ending October 31, 2019.  Relative to the Russell 2000® Value Index, the largest positive contributors to the Fund’s performance were producer durables, materials & processing, and health care, while the largest sector detractors were energy and financial services.  Additionally, Comtech Telecommunications Corp. (“Comtech”) was a positive contributor.

 
2

Within producer durables, KBR and Miller Industries (“Miller”) were the largest contributors to relative performance.  Shares of Miller, the world’s largest manufacturer of towing and recovery equipment, enjoyed solid results as robust economic conditions boosted both their domestic and international end markets.  KBR was discussed in the Diversified Large Cap Value Fund section of this letter.
 
Within materials & processing, Innospec, Inc. (“Innospec”) was the largest contributor to the Fund’s relative performance.  Shares of Innospec, a manufacturer of fuel additives and other specialty chemicals, predominately benefitted from growth in their oilfield services segment, and to a lesser extent, performance chemicals, as the company continues to shift away from their legacy leaded fuel additives business.
 
Within health care, CONMED Corp. (“CONMED”) was the largest contributor to relative performance. CONMED, a producer of medical devices, displayed solid momentum across their business lines, driven by better than anticipated performance of the Buffalo Filter acquisition, domestic orthopedic segment growth exceeding its end market, and another year of strong AirSeal sales.
 
Comtech, a provider of communications technology for commercial and defense markets, contributed favorably to returns, with its outperformance largely driven by success in their wireless 911 and troposcatter products.
 
In terms of detractors, Chesapeake and Golar were the largest detractors from relative performance within energy. Both companies were discussed in the Diversified Large Cap Value Fund section of this letter.
 
Lastly, EZCORP, Inc. – Class A (“EZCORP”) was the largest detractor from relative performance. Shares of EZCORP, a provider of pawn loans, were negatively impacted by changes to the board of directors as well as modest underlying business results.  Controlling shareholder Phil Cohen was appointed Executive Chairman, leading to a sharp selloff.  Additionally, underlying business trends were a little weaker than expected, with mid-single digit growth falling a few percentage points short of Street expectations.
 
Mid Cap Value Fund Review
 
The Investor and Institutional Classes of the Mid Cap Value Fund returned 1.32% and 1.35%, respectively, underperforming the Russell Midcap® Value Index, which generated a total return of 10.08% in the fiscal year ending October 31, 2019.  Relative to the Russell Midcap® Value Index, the largest positive contributors to the Fund’s performance were technology and producer durables, while the largest sector detractor was energy.
 
Within technology, Comtech and NXP Semiconductors NV (“NXP Semiconductors”) were the largest contributors to relative performance.  Comtech was discussed in the Small Cap Value Fund section of this letter.  NXP Semiconductors, a provider of semiconductor components, benefitted from better than expected results in their automotive and mobile segments. The company generates strong cash flow and is a leader in multiple high growth markets.
 
Within producer durables, KBR was the largest contributor to relative performance. KBR was discussed in the Diversified Large Cap Value Fund section of this letter.

 
3

In terms of detractors, Superior Energy Services Inc. (“Superior Energy”), Chesapeake, HighPoint Resources Corp. (“HighPoint”) and Valaris plc - Class A (“Valaris”) were the largest detractors from relative performance.  Shares of Superior Energy, an oil field services provider, declined due to balance sheet concerns amidst a difficult operating environment, which is making the company’s plan of divesting assets to pay down debt more challenging than originally anticipated. Shares of HighPoint, an oil and gas exploration and production company, and Valaris, a provider of offshore drilling services, were negatively impacted by the price of oil. Chesapeake was discussed in the Diversified Large Cap Value Fund section of this letter.
 
Outlook
 
Huber Capital Management maintains a high degree of optimism.  We remain disciplined with respect to our philosophy and process, populating the Funds with companies we believe embody meaningful upside potential and possess tangible valuation support.  It continues to be our view that in the long run a company’s valuation should ultimately reflect its normalized cash generation capabilities.  By investing in out-of-favor companies that trade at a discount to our estimate of normalized earnings, we seek to provide superior risk-adjusted returns over time.
 
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, we believe benchmarks have become price momentum strategies.  Flows into index funds and exchange-traded funds have resulted 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.  Additionally, frequently used classification schema 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 may, therefore, at times appear meaningfully out-of-line with respect to corresponding benchmark weights, despite being adequately diversified.
 
Nevertheless, as of October 31, 2019, the Funds were positioned as follows with respect to the sector weights in their corresponding benchmarks: the Diversified Large Cap Value Fund was overweight producer durables, technology and energy, and underweight utilities, materials & processing, financial services, consumer discretionary, consumer staples and health care. The Equity Income Fund was overweight producer durables, technology and health care, and underweight consumer discretionary, consumer staples, materials & processing, financial services, utilities, and energy. The Small Cap Value Fund was overweight producer durables, materials & processing, health care, technology and energy, and underweight utilities, consumer discretionary and financial services. The Mid Cap Value Fund was overweight technology, producer durables, health care, materials & processing and energy, and underweight utilities, consumer staples, consumer discretionary and financial services.

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 small- and medium-capitalization companies involve additional risks such as limited liquidity and greater price volatility than large-capitalization companies. Value stocks have a lower expected growth rate in earnings and sales versus growth stocks.
 
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.
 
The Russell Midcap® Value Index, 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 in the Russell 1000® Index.  It includes those Russell Midcap companies with lower price-to-book ratios and lower expected growth values.
 
The price to book (P/B) ratio is a fundamental measure used to determine if an investment is valued appropriately.  It is the price of a share of stock divided by book value per share.
 
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.
 
Cash flow measures the cash generating capability of a company by adding non-cash charges (e.g., depreciation) and interest expense to pretax income.
 
Diversification does not assure a profit, nor does it protect against a loss in a declining market.

EXPENSE EXAMPLE – October 31, 2019 (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 (5/1/19 – 10/31/19).
 
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.

EXPENSE EXAMPLE – October 31, 2019 (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, 2019

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 Diversified Large Cap Value Fund (the “Diversified Large Cap Value Fund”) and the Huber Capital Mid Cap Value Fund (the “Mid 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 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 Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code applicable to regulated investment companies and to distribute substantially all of its taxable income to shareholders.  Therefore, no Federal income or excise tax provision is required.
     
   
The Funds recognize the tax benefits of uncertain tax positions only where the position is “more likely than not” to be sustained assuming examination by tax authorities.  Management has analyzed the tax positions of the Funds and has concluded that no liability for unrecognized

Huber Funds

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS at October 31, 2019, Continued

   
tax benefits should be recorded related to uncertain tax positions taken on returns filed for open tax years 2016 – 2018, or expected to be taken in the Funds’ 2019 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.
     
 
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.

Huber Funds

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS at October 31, 2019, Continued

   
For the year ended October 31, 2019, the Funds made the following permanent tax adjustments on the statements of assets and liabilities:

(1,058
)

 
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 redemption fees retained by each Fund are disclosed in the statement of changes.
     
 
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.
Foreign Currency:  Investment securities and other assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollar amounts at the date of valuation. Purchases and sales of investment securities and income and expense items denominated in foreign currencies are translated to U.S. dollar amounts on the respective dates of such transactions.
     
   
The Funds do not isolate those portions of the results of operations resulting from changes in foreign exchange rates on investments from the fluctuations arising from changes in market prices of securities held. Such fluctuations are included with the net realized and unrealized gain or loss from investments.

 
50

Huber Funds

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS at October 31, 2019, Continued

   
Reported net realized foreign exchange gains or losses arise from sales of foreign currencies, currency gains or losses realized between the trade and settlement dates on securities transactions, and the difference between the amounts of dividends, interest, and foreign withholding taxes recorded on the Fund’s books and the U.S. dollar equivalent of the amounts actually received or paid. Net unrealized foreign exchange gains and losses arise from changes in the fair values of assets and liabilities, other than investments in securities at fiscal period-end, resulting from changes in exchange rates.
     
 
I.
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 invest no more than 15% of its net assets in illiquid securities.  At October 31, 2019, the Funds had no investments in illiquid securities.
     
 
J.
Events Subsequent to the Fiscal Year End:  In preparing the financial statements as of October 31, 2019, management considered the impact of subsequent events for potential recognition or disclosure in the financial statements.  Refer to Note 9 for more information about subsequent events.
 
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.

 
51

Huber Funds

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS at October 31, 2019, Continued

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.  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.
 
Investment Companies – Investments in open-end mutual funds, including money market funds, are generally priced at their net asset value per share provided by the service agent of the funds and will be classified 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 the Funds’ administrator, U.S. Bancorp Fund Services, LLC, doing business as U.S. Bank Global Fund Services (“Fund Services”). 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.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS at October 31, 2019, Continued

Refer to the Funds’ schedule of investments for a detailed break-out of common stocks by industry classification.  Transfers between levels are recognized at October 31, 2019, the end of the reporting period. There were no transfers between levels during the year ended October 31, 2019.
 
In August 2018, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Accounting Standard Update (“ASU”) 2018-13, Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820): Disclosure Framework—Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurement (“ASU 2018-13”). The primary focus of ASU 2018-13 is to improve the effectiveness of the disclosure requirements for fair value measurements. The changes affect all companies that are required to include fair value measurement disclosures. In general, the amendments in ASU 2018-13 are effective for all entities for fiscal years and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2019. An entity is permitted to early adopt the removed or modified disclosures upon the issuance of ASU 2018-13 and may delay adoption of the additional disclosures, which are required for public companies only, until their effective date. Management is currently evaluating the impact these changes will have on the Funds’ financial statements and disclosures.
 
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 furnishes 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.  For the period February 28, 2019 through February 27, 2020, the Adviser has agreed to voluntarily reduce the Equity Income Fund’s contractual management fees from 0.99% to 0.75%.  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 February 28, 2019 through February 27, 2020, the Adviser has agreed to voluntarily reduce the Small Cap Value Fund’s contractual management fees from 1.35% to 0.99%.  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.  For the period February 28, 2019 through February 27, 2020, the Adviser has agreed to voluntarily reduce the Diversified Large Cap Value Fund’s contractual

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS at October 31, 2019, Continued

management fees from 0.75% to 0.00%.  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 period February 28, 2019 through February 27, 2020, the Adviser has agreed to voluntarily reduce the Mid Cap Value Fund’s contractual management fees from 1.00% to 0.00%. For the year ended October 31, 2019, the advisory fees incurred by the Funds are disclosed in the statement of operations.
 
The Funds are responsible for their own operating expenses.  The Adviser has contractually agreed to reduce fees payable to it by the Funds and to pay Fund operating expenses (excluding acquired fund fees and expenses, interest, taxes and extraordinary expenses) to the extent necessary to limit the Fund’s aggregate annual operating expenses as follows:
 
   
Investor Class
Institutional Class
 
Equity Income Fund
1.39%
0.99%
 
Small Cap Value Fund
1.75%
1.35%
 
Diversified Large Cap Value Fund
1.15%
0.75%
 
Mid Cap Value Fund
1.40%
1.10%

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 any subsequent month in the 36-month period from the date of the management fee reduction and expense payment if the aggregate amount actually paid by the Funds toward the operating expenses for such fiscal year (taking into account the reimbursement) will not cause the Fund to exceed the lesser of: (1) the expense limitation in place at the time of the management fee reduction and expense payment; or (2) the expense limitation in place at the time of the reimbursement.  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, 2019, the Adviser reduced its fees and absorbed Fund expenses in the amount of $132,238 for the Equity Income Fund, $104,752 for the Small Cap Value Fund, $174,622 for the Diversified Large Cap Value Fund, and $191,202 for the Mid Cap Value Fund.

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

 
60

Huber Funds

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS at October 31, 2019, Continued

   
U.S. securities, which could affect each Fund’s investments. In addition, the Fund may invest in emerging markets which are more volatile than the markets of developed countries.
     
 
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.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

To the Board of Trustees Advisors Series Trust and Shareholders of Huber Capital Equity Income Fund Huber Capital Small Cap Value Fund Huber Capital Diversified Large Cap Value Fund Huber Capital Mid Cap Value Fund
 
Opinion on the Financial Statements
 
We have audited the accompanying statements of assets and liabilities of 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 (the “Trust”), including the schedules of investments, as of October 31, 2019, 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 financial highlights for each of the five years in the period then ended, with respect to Huber Capital Mid Cap Value Fund the financial highlights for each of the three years in the period then ended and for the period December 31, 2015 (commencement of operations) to October 31, 2016, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the “financial statements”).  In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Funds as of October 31, 2019, the results of their operations for the year then ended, the changes in their net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended, and their financial highlights for periods indicated above, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
 
Basis for Opinion
 
These financial statements are the responsibility of the Funds’ management.  Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Funds’ financial statements based on our audits.  We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (“PCAOB”) and are required to be independent with respect to the Funds in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.  We have served as the auditor of one or more of the funds in the Trust since 2003.
 
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB.  Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud.  The Funds are not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of the Funds’ internal control over financial reporting.  As part of our audits we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Funds’ internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.
 
Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks.  Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements.  Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of October 31, 2019 by correspondence with the custodian and broker.  We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

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 substantive 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.
