Factors Affecting Performance [Text Block]
HOW DID THE FUND PERFORM LAST YEAR AND WHAT AFFECTED ITS PERFORMANCE?
For the 12-month period ended November 30, 2024, the Fund outperformed its broad-based benchmark, the Bloomberg U.S. Aggregate Bond Index and underperformed its secondary benchmark, the Bloomberg U.S. Credit Baa Index.
WHAT FACTORS INFLUENCED PERFORMANCE
We are pleased to provide you with this annual report for the twelve-month period from December 1, 2023, through November 30, 2024, regarding the PIA BBB Bond Fund for which Pacific Income Advisers, Inc. (“PIA”) is the investment adviser.
The PIA BBB Bond Fund returned 9.04% for the twelve-month period ended November 30, 2024, versus the Bloomberg U.S. Credit Baa Bond Index return of 9.37%. The Fund has a strategy of using a broad diversification of BBB-rated issuers, industry sectors and range of maturities. The Fund is structured so as to approximate the returns of its benchmark, while holding a smaller number of issuers. In order to achieve this objective, the overall duration, the partial durations, as well as the sector allocations of the Fund approximate those of its benchmark. While the top 20 issuers in the Bloomberg U.S. Credit Baa Bond Index are represented in the Fund, for the remaining issuers in the benchmark, only a subset is represented in the Fund, based on market conditions. This will cause some variability in the returns of the Fund relative to those of the benchmark.
The Bloomberg U.S. Aggregate Index returned 6.88% during the reporting period. The Fund’s weighting in primarily Baa rated credit securities is the primary factor attributable to the difference in returns between the Fund and the Bloomberg U.S. Aggregate Index during the reporting period.
Bond Market in Review - The yields on 2-year, 5-year, 10-year and 30-year Treasuries decreased by 53, 22, 16 and 13 basis points, respectively, during the reporting period. The average credit spread on investment grade corporate bonds decreased from 104 to 78 basis points. The average option-adjusted spread on fixed rate agency MBS decreased from 56 to 41 basis points, and the average life decreased from 8.0 to 7.4 years.
We believe that the PIA BBB Bond Fund provides our clients with a means of efficiently investing in a broadly diversified portfolio of BBB-rated bonds.
Please take a moment to review the Funds’ statements of assets and liabilities and the results of operations for the twelve-month period ended November 30, 2024. We look forward to reporting to you again with the semi-annual report dated May 31, 2025.

Factors Affecting Performance [Text Block]
HOW DID THE FUND PERFORM LAST YEAR AND WHAT AFFECTED ITS PERFORMANCE?
For the 12-month period ended November 30, 2024, the Fund outperformed its broad-based benchmark, the Bloomberg U.S. Aggregate Bond Index and underperformed its secondary benchmark Bloomberg U.S. MBS Fixed Rate Index.
WHAT FACTORS INFLUENCED PERFORMANCE
The PIA MBS Bond Fund returned 7.04% for the twelve-month period ended December 1, 2024, while the Bloomberg U.S. MBS Fixed Rate Index returned 7.33%. 15-year MBS performed well during the period, and the Fund’s underweight in 15-year MBS was the main detractor from performance. Ginnie Mae 30-year MBS underperformed conventional 30-year MBS (Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac), and the Fund’s underweight in Ginnie Mae mortgages was a positive. Higher coupon mortgage pools generally underperformed lower coupon mortgages, and the underweight in higher coupon pools was a positive.
The Bloomberg U.S. Aggregate Index returned 6.88% during the period. Relative to this index, the Fund’s overweight to securitized sectors and the underweight in treasuries were positives. The Fund doesn’t have any exposure to the corporate credit sector, and this was a negative.
Bond Market in Review - The yields on 2-year, 5-year, 10-year and 30-year Treasuries decreased by 53, 22, 16 and 13 basis points, respectively, during the reporting period. The average credit spread on investment grade corporate bonds decreased from 104 to 78 basis points. The average option-adjusted spread on fixed rate agency MBS decreased from 56 to 41 basis points, and the average life decreased from 8.0 to 7.4 years.
We believe that the PIA MBS Bond Fund provides our clients with a means of efficiently investing in a broadly diversified portfolio of agency mortgage-backed securities.
Please take a moment to review the Funds’ statements of assets and liabilities and the results of operations for the fiscal ended November 30, 2024. We look forward to reporting to you again with the semi-annual report dated May 31, 2025.

WHAT FACTORS INFLUENCED PERFORMANCE
We are pleased to provide you with this report for the period from December 1, 2023 through November 30, 2024, regarding the PIA High Yield (MACS) Fund (the “Fund”) for which Pacific Income Advisers, Inc. (“PIA”), is the investment adviser.
The Fund outperformed its benchmark, the Bloomberg U.S. Corporate High-Yield Index (the “Index”), returning 14.45%, after fees and expenses, for the twelve months ended November 30, 2024, versus 12.71% for the Index.
The Bloomberg U.S. Aggregate Index returned 6.88% during the reporting period. The Fund’s weighting in primarily high yield rated credit securities is the primary factor attributable to the difference in returns between the Fund and the Bloomberg U.S. Aggregate Index during the reporting period.
The primary factors contributing to the outperformance of the Fund were the distribution of returns by credit rating and individual credit selection. With regards to ratings, during the period, the Fund was significantly underweight Ba(s), the worst performing ratings cohort, while overweight B(s) and Caa(s), the superior performing ratings cohorts.
The Fund’s primary objective is to seek a high level of current income. The Fund’s secondary objective is to seek capital growth when that is consistent with its primary objective.

HOW DID THE FUND PERFORM LAST YEAR AND WHAT AFFECTED ITS PERFORMANCE?
For the 12-month period ended November 30, 2024, the Fund underperformed its broad-based benchmark, the Bloomberg U.S. Aggregate Bond Index and outperformed its secondary benchmark, the ICE BofA 1-Year US Treasury Note Index.  
WHAT FACTORS INFLUENCED PERFORMANCE
We are pleased to provide you with this annual report for the twelve-month period from December 1, 2023 through November 30, 2024, regarding the PIA Short-Term Securities Fund (the “Fund”) for which Pacific Income Advisers, Inc. (“PIA”), is the investment adviser.
For the twelve months ended November 30, 2024, the Fund generated a total return, including the reinvestment of dividends and capital gains, of 5.95%, versus a total return of 5.01% for the Fund’s secondary benchmark, the ICE BofA 1-Year U.S. Treasury Note Index.
The Fund’s outperformance versus the ICE BofA 1-Year U.S. Treasury Note Index during the reporting period can be primarily attributed to an overweight in investment grade corporate debt securities, with financial, utility and industrial credits all outperforming equivalent duration U.S. Treasuries based on excess returns. The Fund also benefited from its weighting in commercial mortgage-backed securities and asset-backed securities.
The Bloomberg U.S. Aggregate Index returned 6.88% during the reporting period. The Fund’s substantially shorter duration is the primary factor attributable to the difference in returns between the Fund and the Bloomberg U.S. Aggregate Index during the reporting period.
The Fund’s investment objective is to seek a high level of current income, consistent with low volatility of principal through investing in short-term investment grade debt securities.
Bond Market in Review - The yields on 1-year, 2-year and 3-year Treasuries decreased by 84, 53 and 35 basis points, respectively, and the yields on 5-year, 10-year and 30-year Treasuries decreased by 22, 16 and 13 basis points, respectively, during the reporting period. The average credit spread on investment grade corporate bonds decreased from 104 to 78 basis points and the average option-adjusted spread on fixed rate agency mortgage-backed securities decreased from 56 to 41 basis points.
Please take a moment to review the Funds’ statements of assets and liabilities and the results of operations for the twelve-month period ended November 30, 2024. We look forward to reporting to you again with the semi-annual report dated May 31, 2025.
