June 1, 2020
 
Dear Shareholder:
 
The six-month period ended April 30, 2020 was one of the most turbulent chapters in stock market history due to the rapid spread of the COVID-19 pandemic, which forced large sections of the global economy to close down sparking fears that a deep recession would ensue.  In the span of a few short weeks, the global economy came to a halt as governments issued stay-at-home orders and braced for the worst. Babies were seemingly thrown out with the bath water, presenting opportunities to purchase shares in attractive businesses at discounted prices.  Fast forward to April, risk assets moved higher as governments and central banks stepped in with stimulus packages and programs to help mitigate fallout from the pandemic.  This could provide a tailwind for global risk assets to move higher, but it is not clear how the rest of 2020 will look given record unemployment and the possibility of a second coronavirus wave either in the fall or when the economy reopens.
 
During the six-months ended April 30, 2020, the Huber Capital Equity Income Fund (“Equity Income Fund”) outperformed the Russell 1000® Value Index, while the Huber Capital Diversified Large Cap Value Fund (“Diversified Large Cap Value Fund”) underperformed the Russell 1000® Value Index, their respective primary benchmarks. The Huber Capital Small Cap Value Fund (“Small Cap Value Fund”) and the Huber Capital Mid Cap Value Fund (“Mid Cap Value Fund”) underperformed their primary benchmarks, the Russell 2000® Value Index and the Russell Midcap® Value Index, respectively.
 
Equity Income Fund Review
 
For the fiscal six-month period ended April 30, 2020, the Equity Income Fund Investor Class and Institutional Class returned -8.79% and -8.67%, respectively, outperforming the -13.66% total return of the Russell 1000® Value Index and underperforming the -3.16% 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 technology and health care, while consumer staples and energy were the largest detractors.  On an individual stock basis, our top contributors to performance were Microsoft Corp. (“Microsoft”) and Eli Lilly & Co. (“Eli Lilly”), while the bottom contributors to performance were Truist Financial Corp (“Truist Financial”), KBR, Inc. (“KBR”) and JPMorgan Chase & Co. (“JPMorgan Chase”).
 
The Equity Income Fund was most positively impacted by its ownership of software giant Microsoft.  Microsoft benefitted from increased work from home habits, which are driving demand for Office 365 and their Azure cloud computing segment.  Eli Lilly experienced strong demand for their diabetes medications, along with relatively little negative impact from the pandemic.
 
The Equity Income Fund was negatively impacted by its ownership of large cap banks Truist Financial and JPMorgan Chase.  Both of these companies, along with financial services peers, declined more than the Fund’s indices due to fears of a recession, which could impact financial institutions more negatively than other index constituents.
 
 
1

KBR, an energy-focused engineering and construction company, declined due to a sharp drop in oil prices, driving down expectations of capital expenditures in the oil and gas industry.
 
Small Cap Value Fund Review
 
For the fiscal six-month period ended April 30, 2020, the Small Cap Value Fund Investor Class and Institutional Class returned -24.86% and -24.73%, respectively. The Fund underperformed the Russell 2000® Value Index total return of -23.44% and the -15.47% 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 financial services and producer durables, while the most notable detractors were technology and health care. On an individual stock basis, the most notable contributors to relative performance were Hoegh LNG Partners LP (“Hoegh”) and Teekay Tankers Ltd. (“Teekay Tankers”).  The Fund’s most notable detractors from performance were Comtech Telecommunications Corp. (“Comtech Telecommunications”, “Comtech”), First Citizens BancShares, Inc. – Class A (“First Citizens”) and Golar LNG Ltd.
 
The Fund was most positively impacted by its ownership of Hoegh, an operator of Liquified Natural Gas (“LNG”) vessels, and Teekay Tankers, the largest operator of mid-sized tankers.  Hoegh benefitted from relatively consistent demand for their FSRU (Floating Storage Regasification Units) vessels, as the outlook for LNG held up fairly well despite the pandemic related economic slowdown.  Teekay Tankers benefitted from a tightening of supply and demand dynamics, driving up day rates during the period.
 
The Fund was most negatively impacted by its ownership of Comtech Telecommunications, a provider of communications services to military and civilian applications.  Shares of Comtech were pressured due to tightening of the credit markets, casting some doubt on their ability to finance the Gilat Satellite Networks Ltd. acquisition.  As credit markets have since thawed, we believe the company will be able to finance the transaction, which should add robust technological capability to their portfolio.
 
Other notable detractors included First Citizens, a regional bank, and Golar LNG Ltd., an operator of LNG vessels.  First Citizens was largely impacted by the selloff in banks, due to concerns that a recession may develop in the aftermath of the COVID-19 pandemic.  Shares of Golar LNG Ltd. declined because the company was unable to get an extension on their bond maturities by April 2020; however, they have been able to extend maturities since.  We believe credit markets should normalize which should allow the company to fully refinance their unsecured and secured debt facilities and hopefully transition attention back to free cash flow generation.
 
Diversified Large Cap Value Fund Review
 
For the fiscal six-month period ended April 30, 2020, the Diversified Large Cap Value Fund Investor Class and Institutional Class returned -15.00% and -14.85%, respectively, underperforming the Russell 1000® Value Index total return of -13.66%, and underperforming the -3.16% total return of the broader
 

2

S&P 500® Index.  Sectors that contributed most positively to the Fund’s performance relative to the benchmark Russell 1000® Value Index were technology and financial services, while energy and materials & processing were the most notable detractors.  Stocks that were most accretive to relative performance were Microsoft and Eli Lilly. The most notable detractors were KBR, Golar LNG Partners LP, Citigroup, Inc. (“Citigroup”) and Carpenter Technology Corporation (“Carpenter Technology”).
 
The Fund’s strongest positive contributors Microsoft and Eli Lilly were discussed previously.
 
KBR, the Fund’s largest detractor was discussed above.  Golar LNG Partners LP, an operator of liquified natural gas carriers, declined due to difficulty extending maturity on a bond issue due April 2020, however, they eventually succeeded in obtaining an extension.  Citigroup, a multinational bank, was impacted by fears that a global recession could develop in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic.  Carpenter Technology, a producer of specialty metal parts, declined due to a reduction in air travel driven by the pandemic, as well as ongoing issues with the Boeing 737 Max.
 
Mid Cap Value Fund Review
 
For the fiscal six-month period ended April 30, 2020, the Mid Cap Value Fund Investor Class and Institutional Class returned -24.43% and -24.25%, respectively, versus the -18.11% 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 materials & processing, while the largest sector detractors were technology and energy.  Stocks contributing the most to relative performance were Hoegh, Uranium Participation Corp., and Teekay Tankers. The largest detractors were Comtech, Golar LNG Partners LP, and Golar LNG Ltd.
 
The Fund’s largest positive contributor, Hoegh, was discussed previously.  Uranium Participation Corp. largely benefitted from rising uranium prices.  Uranium commodity prices rose in the period due to lower supply, driven by COVID-19 related mine closures, coupled with relatively flat demand for electricity.
 
The Fund’s largest detractors Comtech, Golar LNG Partners LP, and Golar LNG Ltd. were discussed above in this letter.
 
Outlook
 
Markets remain volatile due to uncertainty created by rising unemployment, no clear timeline for the COVID-19 pandemic, geopolitical tensions, and U.S. presidential elections later this year; however, we believe volatility can create buying opportunities as stocks can fall well below our view of fair value in the midst of panic selling.
 
The Huber Capital team remains committed to our philosophy and process, populating its Funds with companies we believe embody meaningful upside potential and tangible valuation support.  It continues to be our view that a

 
3

company’s valuation ultimately reverts to reflect its normalized cash generation capabilities and that investing in companies trading at a discount to normalized earnings can produce superior risk-adjusted returns over time.
 
Consistent with our value philosophy, we strive to generate outperformance through fundamental bottom-up investing, rather than betting on macroeconomic factors.  In our view, benchmarks have become price momentum strategies, a trend exacerbated by the shift to passive investing, and index sector weights often fail to reflect factor weights in the broader economy.  Furthermore, frequently used classification schema (i.e. GICS) may assign companies to sectors which, we believe, may not accurately reflect a company’s primary exposure.  For this reason, although we maintain macroeconomic factor neutrality, we may at certain times appear over- or under-weight relative to the sector weights of the Funds’ corresponding benchmarks.
 
Currently, relative to the Russell 1000® Value Index, the Equity Income Fund is overweight producer durables, technology and healthcare, and underweight utilities, material & processing, financial services, energy, consumer discretionary and consumer staples. Relative to the Russell 2000® Value Index, the Small Cap Value Fund is overweight materials & processing, producer durables, energy, health care and technology, and underweight utilities, financial services and consumer discretionary.  Relative to the Russell 1000® Value Index, the Diversified Large Cap Value Fund is overweight technology, producer durables, utilities and energy, and underweight consumer staples, consumer discretionary, materials & processing, health care and financial services. Relative to the Russell Midcap® Value Index, the Mid Cap Value Fund is overweight energy, technology, producer durables and consumer staples, and underweight consumer discretionary, materials & processing and financial services.
 
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 small- and medium-capitalization companies involve additional risks such as limited liquidity and greater 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 schedules 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 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, 2020 (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 (11/1/19 – 4/30/20).
 
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.  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, 2020 (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”), 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 tax benefits should be

recorded related to uncertain tax positions taken on returns filed for open tax years 2017 – 2019, or expected to be taken in the Funds’ 2020 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.

45

Huber Funds

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS at April 30, 2020 (Unaudited), Continued

 
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 statements 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.
     
   
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 Funds’ 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.

Huber Funds

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS at April 30, 2020 (Unaudited), Continued

 
I.
Events Subsequent to the Fiscal Period End:  In preparing the financial statements as of April 30, 2020, management considered the impact of subsequent events for potential recognition or disclosure in the financial statements.  Management has determined that there were no subsequent events that would need to be disclosed in the Funds’ 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.
 
Each Fund determines the fair value of its investments and computes its net asset value per share as of the close of regular trading on the New York Stock Exchange (4:00 EST).
 
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
 

47

Huber Funds

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS at April 30, 2020 (Unaudited), Continued

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 April 30, 2020 (Unaudited), Continued

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.
 
The global outbreak of COVID-19 (commonly referred to as “coronavirus”) has disrupted economic markets and the prolonged economic impact is uncertain.  The ultimate economic fallout from the pandemic, and the long-term impact on economies, markets, industries and individual issuers, are not known.  The operational and financial performance of the issuers of securities in which the Funds invest depends on future developments, including the duration and spread of the outbreak, and such uncertainty may in turn adversely affect the value and liquidity of the Funds’ investments, impair the Funds’ ability to satisfy redemption requests, and negatively impact the Funds’ performance.
 
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, 2020 through February 27, 2021, the Adviser has agreed to voluntarily reduce the Equity Income Fund’s contractual management fee 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, 2020 through February 27, 2021, the Adviser has agreed to voluntarily reduce the Small Cap Value Fund’s contractual

Huber Funds

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS at April 30, 2020 (Unaudited), Continued

management fee 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, 2020 through February 27, 2021, the Adviser has agreed to voluntarily reduce the Diversified Large Cap Value Fund’s contractual management fee 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, 2020 through February 27, 2021, the Adviser has agreed to voluntarily reduce the Mid Cap Value Fund’s contractual management fee from 1.00% to 0.00%.  For the six months ended April 30, 2020, the advisory fees incurred by the Funds are disclosed in the statements 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 class specific expenses such as the 0.25% 12b-1 fees applied to the Investor Class, 0.15% shareholder servicing fees applied to the Investor Class and 0.10% applied to the Institutional Class of the Mid Cap Value Fund, acquired fund fees and expenses, interest expense, taxes and extraordinary expenses) to the extent necessary to limit the Funds’ aggregate annual operating expenses as follows:
 
   
Expense Caps
 
Equity Income Fund
0.99%
 
Small Cap Value Fund
1.35%
 
Diversified Large Cap Value Fund
0.75%
 
Mid Cap Value Fund
1.00%

  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 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 six months ended April 30, 2020, the Adviser reduced its fees and absorbed Fund expenses in the amount of $77,205 for the Equity Income Fund, $66,113 for the Small Cap Value Fund, $85,647 for the Diversified Large Cap Value Fund, and $95,043 for the Mid Cap Value Fund.

Fund Services serves as the Funds’ administrator, fund accountant and transfer agent. In those capacities Fund Services maintains the Funds’ books and records, calculates the Funds’ NAV, prepares various federal and state regulatory filings, coordinates the payment of Fund expenses, reviews expense accruals and prepares materials supplied to the Board of Trustees.  The officers of the Trust and the Chief Compliance Officer are also employees of Fund Services.  Fees paid by the Funds to Fund Services for these services for the six months ended April 30, 2020 are disclosed in the statements of operations.

The Board of Trustees has approved a new distribution agreement to enable Quasar to continue serving as the Funds’ Distributor.
 
NOTE 5 – SHAREHOLDER SERVICING FEE
 
The Funds have entered into a shareholder servicing agreement (the “Agreement”) with the Adviser, under which the Investor Class of the Funds may pay servicing fees at an annual rate of up to 0.15% of the average daily net assets of each Investor Class and at an annual rate of up to 0.10% of the average daily net assets of the Institutional Class of the Mid Cap Value Fund.  Payments to the Adviser under the Agreement may reimburse the Adviser for payments it makes to selected brokers, dealers and administrators which have entered into service agreements with the Adviser for services provided to shareholders of the Funds.  The services provided by such intermediaries are primarily designed to assist shareholders of the Funds and include the furnishing of office space and equipment, telephone facilities, personnel and assistance to the Funds in servicing such shareholders.  Services provided by such intermediaries also include the provision of support services to the Funds and include establishing and maintaining shareholders’ accounts and record processing, purchase and

NOTE 6 – 12B-1 DISTRIBUTION AGREEMENT AND PLAN
 
The Funds have adopted a Distribution Plan pursuant to Rule 12b-1 (the “Plan”). The Plan permits the Funds to pay Quasar Distributors, LLC (the “Distributor”) for distribution and related expenses at an annual rate of up to 0.25% of each Fund’s Investor Class’ average daily net assets. The expenses covered by the Plan may include the cost of preparing and distributing prospectuses and other sales material, advertising and public relations expenses, payments to financial intermediaries and compensation of personnel involved in selling shares of the Funds. Payments made pursuant to the Plan will represent reimbursement for specific expenses incurred in connection with the promotion and distribution of shares.  For the six months ended April 30, 2020, the 12b-1 fees accrued by each Fund’s Investor Class are disclosed in the statements 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.
 

56

Huber Funds

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS at April 30, 2020 (Unaudited), Continued

 
Foreign Securities and Emerging Markets Risk – Investments in foreign currencies and foreign issuers are subject to additional risks, including political and economic risks, greater volatility, civil conflicts and war, sanctions or other measures by the United States or other governments, liquidity risks, currency fluctuations, higher transaction costs, delayed settlement, possible foreign controls on investment, expropriation and nationalization risks, and less stringent investor protection and disclosure standards of foreign markets. Events and evolving conditions in certain economies or markets may alter the risks associated with investments tied to countries or regions that historically were perceived as comparatively stable becoming riskier and more volatile. These risks are magnified in countries in “emerging markets.” Emerging market countries typically have less-established market economies than developed countries and may face greater social, economic, regulatory and political uncertainties. In addition, emerging markets typically present greater illiquidity and price volatility concerns due to smaller or limited local capital markets and greater difficulty in determining market valuations of securities due to limited public information on issuers.
     
 
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 an 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 – A style of investing which targets undervalued companies with characteristics for improved valuations. This style of investing is subject to the risk that the valuations never improve or that the returns on “value” securities may not move in tandem with the returns on other styles of investing or the stock market in general.
     
 
Sector Emphasis Risk – Securities of companies in the same or related businesses, if comprising a significant portion of each portfolio, could react in some circumstances negatively to market conditions, interest rates and economic, regulatory or fiscal 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.

57

Huber Funds

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS at April 30, 2020 (Unaudited), Continued

 
Market and Regulatory Risk – Events in the financial markets and economy may cause volatility and uncertainty and adversely impact the Fund’s performance. Market events may affect a single issuer, industry, sector, or the market as a whole.  Traditionally liquid investments may experience periods of diminished liquidity. Governmental and regulatory actions, including tax law changes, may also impair portfolio management and have unexpected or adverse consequences on particular markets, strategies, or investments. The Fund’s investments may decline in value due to factors affecting individual issuers (such as the results of supply and demand), or sectors within the securities markets.  The value of a security or other investment also may go up or down due to general market conditions that are not specifically related to a particular issuer, such as real or perceived adverse economic conditions, changes in interest rates or exchange rates, or adverse investor sentiment generally.  In addition, unexpected events and their aftermaths, such as the spread of deadly diseases; natural, environmental or man-made disasters; financial, political or social disruptions; terrorism and war; and other tragedies or catastrophes, can cause investor fear and panic, which can adversely affect the economies of many companies, sectors, nations, regions and the market in general, in ways that cannot necessarily be foreseen.
     
 
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-Sized 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
Huber Capital Mid Cap Value Fund
 
At meetings held on October 23-24 and December 4-5, 2019, the Board (which at the time was comprised of five persons, all of whom were Independent Trustees as defined under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended), considered and approved, for another annual term, the continuance of the investment advisory agreement (the “Advisory Agreement”) between Advisors Series Trust (the “Trust”) and Huber Capital Management, LLC (the “Adviser”) on behalf of the Huber Capital Equity Income Fund (the “Equity Income Fund”), Huber Capital Small Cap Value Fund (the “Small Cap Value Fund”), Huber Capital Diversified Large Cap Value Fund (the “Diversified Large Cap Value Fund”) and Huber Capital Mid Cap Value Fund (the “Mid Cap Fund”) (collectively, the “Funds”).  At both meetings, 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 and the Adviser’s compliance record, as well as the Adviser’s cybersecurity program and business continuity plan, and risk management process.  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 certain personnel of the Adviser in person to discuss the Funds’ performance and investment outlook as well as various marketing and compliance topics.

APPROVAL OF INVESTMENT ADVISORY AGREEMENT (Unaudited), Continued

   
The Board concluded that the Adviser had the quality and depth of personnel, resources, investment processes and compliance policies and procedures essential to performing its duties under the Advisory Agreement and that they were satisfied with the nature, overall quality and extent of such management services.
     
 
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 each Fund as of June 30, 2019, on both an absolute basis and in comparison to its peer funds utilizing Morningstar classifications and appropriate securities market 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 each Fund, as well as its level of risk tolerance, may differ significantly from funds in the peer universe.
     
   
Equity Income Fund: The Board noted that the Fund outperformed the peer group median of its Morningstar comparative universe for the one-, three- and ten-year periods, and underperformed for the five-year period.  The Board also reviewed the performance of the Fund against a broad-based securities market benchmark, noting that it had underperformed its primary and secondary benchmark indices for the one-, three-, five-, and ten-year periods.
     
   
The Board also considered any differences in performance between the Adviser’s similarly managed accounts and the performance of the Fund, noting that the Fund outperformed its similarly managed account composite for the one-, three-, five-, and ten-year periods.
     
   
Small Cap Value Fund: The Board noted that the Fund outperformed the peer group median of its Morningstar comparative universe for the three-and ten-year periods and underperformed for the one- and five-year periods.  The Board also reviewed the performance of the Fund against a broad-based securities market benchmark, noting that it had underperformed its primary and secondary benchmark indices for the one-, three-, five-, and ten-year periods.
     
   
The Board also considered any differences in performance between the Adviser’s similarly managed accounts and the performance of the Fund, noting that the Fund underperformed its similarly managed account composite for the one-, three-, five-, and ten-year periods.

Huber Funds

APPROVAL OF INVESTMENT ADVISORY AGREEMENT (Unaudited), Continued

   
Diversified Large Cap Value Fund: The Board noted that the Fund outperformed the peer group median of its Morningstar comparative universe for the three-year period and underperformed for the one- and five-year periods.  The Board also reviewed the performance of the Fund against a broad-based securities market benchmark, noting that it had underperformed its primary benchmark index for the one-, three-, and five-year periods.  The Board also noted that the Fund underperformed its secondary benchmark index for the one- and five-year periods and outperformed for the three-year period.
     
   
The Board also considered any differences in performance between similarly managed accounts and the performance of the Fund, noting that the Fund underperformed its similarly managed account composite for the one-, three-, and five-year periods.
     
   
Mid Cap Value Fund: The Board noted that the Fund underperformed the peer group median of its Morningstar comparative universe for the one-year period and outperformed for the three-year period. The Board also reviewed the performance of the Fund against a broad-based securities market benchmark, noting that it had underperformed its primary benchmark index for the one- and three-year periods.
     
   
The Board noted that the Adviser represented it does not have any similarly managed accounts to the Fund.
     
 
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.
     
   
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


62

Huber Funds

APPROVAL OF INVESTMENT ADVISORY AGREEMENT (Unaudited), Continued

   
was above the peer group median and average, and 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 noted that the Adviser had agreed to voluntarily reduce its contractual management fee from 0.99% to 0.75% through at least February 27, 2020 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 and that the voluntarily reduced advisory fee was also 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 year ended June 30, 2019 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 found that the contractual management fees charged to the Fund were generally above the fees charged to its institutional separate account clients, 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.  The Board also took into consideration the services the Adviser provides to its institutional separate account clients, comparing the fees charged for those management services to the management fees charged to the Fund.  The Board noted that the Adviser was considering implementing another voluntary advisory fee reduction and that while the Fund’s expenses and contractual advisory fee were generally above the range of its peer group, 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 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 average, and 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 noted that the Adviser had agreed to voluntarily reduce its contractual

management fee from 1.35% to 0.99% through at least February 27, 2020. The Board also noted that the contractual advisory fee and voluntarily reduced advisory fee were both 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 year ended June 30, 2019 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 found that the management fees charged to the Fund were generally above the fees charged to its institutional separate account clients, noting the Adviser represented that there are higher costs associated with managing the Fund.  The Board also took into consideration the services the Adviser provides to its institutional separate account clients, comparing the fees charged for those management services to the management fees charged to the Fund.  The Board noted that the Adviser was considering implementing another voluntary advisory fee reduction and that while the Fund’s expenses and contractual advisory fee were generally above the range of its peer group, 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 above the peer group median and below the peer group average.  The Board noted that the total expense ratio for Institutional Class shares was equal to the peer group median and slightly below the 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 Adviser had agreed to voluntarily reduce its contractual management fee from 0.75% to 0.00% through at least February 27, 2020. 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 asset sizes was above the peer group median and average.  The Board also noted that the voluntarily reduced advisory fee was below the

APPROVAL OF INVESTMENT ADVISORY AGREEMENT (Unaudited), Continued

   
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 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 year ended June 30, 2019.  The Board found that the management fees charged to the Fund were generally above the fees charged to its institutional separate account clients, noting the Adviser represented that there are higher costs associated with managing the Fund.  The Board also took into consideration the services the Adviser provides to its institutional separate account clients, comparing the fees charged for those management services to the management fees charged to the Fund. The Board noted that the Adviser was considering implementing another voluntary advisory fee reduction. As a result, the Board noted that the Fund’s expenses and contractual advisory fee were not outside the range of its peer group.
     
   
Mid Cap Value Fund: The Board noted that the Adviser had contractually agreed to maintain Expense Caps for the Fund of 1.40% for Investor Class shares and 1.10% 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 above the peer group median and average.  The Board noted that the total expense ratio for Institutional Class shares was equal to the peer group median and slightly below the peer group average, and was also 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 Adviser had agreed to voluntarily reduce its contractual management fee from 1.00% to 0.00% through at least February 27, 2020. 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 asset sizes was above the peer group median and average.  The Board also noted that the voluntarily reduced advisory fee 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 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

year ended June 30, 2019.  The Board noted that the Adviser represented it does not have any similarly managed accounts to the Fund.  The Board noted that the Adviser was considering implementing another voluntary advisory fee reduction. 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 each respective Fund’s current asset level and that they would continue to review economies of scale at asset levels that were below these breakpoint levels. The Board also noted that the Mid Cap Value Fund does not have breakpoints in its advisory fee schedule. 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 of the Equity Income Fund’s, Small Cap Value Fund’s and Diversified Large Cap Value Fund’s advisory fees contained breakpoints at very high asset levels.  The Board also noted that the Adviser had voluntarily reduced each Fund’s advisory fee and continued to waive all or a portion of each Fund’s advisory fee to maintain the expense caps, and therefore, 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


66

Huber Funds

APPROVAL OF INVESTMENT ADVISORY AGREEMENT (Unaudited), Continued

   
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, Diversified Large Cap Value Fund and Mid Cap Value Fund, but rather the Trustees based their determination on the total mix of information available to them.  Based on a consideration of all the factors in their totality, the Trustees determined that the advisory arrangements with the Adviser, including the advisory fees, were fair and reasonable to the Funds.  The Board, including a majority of the Independent Trustees, therefore determined that the continuance of the Advisory Agreement for the Funds would be in the best interests of the Funds and their shareholders.
