AdvisorOne Funds Semi-Annual Report

 

 

Letter From The Portfolio Management Team

 

Dear Shareholders,

 

The bull market continues. The six months ending on October 31, 2014 witnessed more strong gains in the global stock markets, with the United States leading the way. The overall U.S. market, as defined by the Russell 3000, gained nearly 8% during this time frame. The S&P 500 (a benchmark of mostly larger companies) gained 8% and the Russell 2000 (a benchmark for small cap stocks) was up 5%. As mentioned in our last letter, this bull market ranks among the strongest ever in U.S. market history.

 

The AdvisorOne Funds continue to participate in these gains. Though globally balanced, portfolios have not had the same level of absolute returns as the S&P 500. For instance, international stocks, led by losses in Europe, lost 3% over the last six months (though emerging market stocks did gain 4%). Fixed income, as defined by the Barclays Aggregate Bond Index (a benchmark for the overall domestic bond market), gained 2%.

 

Performance in the AdvisorOne Funds was impacted by a few key factors. First, the positives: our emphasis on larger companies over small companies added value. In addition, our overall sector positioning added value, led by our emphasis on technology.

 

The leading negative, however, was our emphasis on international equities. We continue to build our international position on relative market weakness due to our belief that expected returns in the international markets - both developed and emerging - appear superior to the U.S. in the years ahead. Given the outperformance of the U.S. in recent years, valuations are simply more attractive overseas. Secondarily, the AdvisorOne Funds have been slightly defensive due to concerns regarding the overall valuation of the U.S. market. Again, this is a by-product of a mature bull market.

 

We continue to build the various portfolios around the CLS Investment Themes:

 

International: We are adding international securities. Strategically, we believe that incorporating international securities alongside domestic should enhance portfolio returns and reduce risks over time. Tactically, we believe the international markets may offer strong returns moving forward.

 

High-Quality: Tactically, we believe this is a time to emphasize high-quality companies. The economic expansion and equity bull market are both mature, and high-quality companies tend to do better in this environment. Historically, high-quality companies have outperformed when the expansion and bull market ends.

 

Technology: Technology stocks continue to sport attractive valuations. We are maintaining this position.

 

Creative diversification: Given the low level of interest rates, we continue to be creative in how to diversify our equity-dominated portfolios. We can do this in two ways. First, we have been tactical in our fixed income exposures. We have been actively managing our duration (i.e., interest rate sensitivity), credit, and sector exposures. Currently, our portfolios are less interest-rate sensitive than the over-all bond market, are tilted toward credit, and have notable exposure in corporate bonds. Second, we use alternative asset class segments and strategies.

AdvisorOne Funds Semi-Annual Report

 

 

The portfolio turnover rates have been lower than usual this year. This, however, has been mostly the function of fund flows, where inflows have made it easier to reshape our holdings without incurring official portfolio turnover. It has also made it easy for most of the funds to remain tax-friendly, with most funds anticipated to have minimal capital gain distributions.

 

Sincerely,

 

Portfolio Management Team

AdvisorOne Funds Semi-Annual Report Amerigo Fund - Portfolio Summary
Portfolio Commentary  
   
Amerigo generated a 3.1% total return for the six months ending October 31, 2014. The Fund has a Risk Budget of 100 (i.e., over time is approximately as risky as a diversified equity portfolio consisting of 80% domestic equities and 20% international equities). The Fund trailed its benchmark during this time frame, primarily due to its exposure to international securities.  
   
Moving forward, the Fund’s notable positions include tilts towards international equities, with an emphasis in emerging markets, Europe, and Asia. Relative valuations, accommodative monetary policy and improving growth prospects drive this positioning.  
   
Regarding overall equity positioning, we remain slightly defensive on the market due to valuations concerns. This positioning helped during the two months that the market posted losses. Digging deeper into our equity positioning among domestic sectors, the largest sector tilt is towards the technology sector. Technology stocks are trading at or near their most attractive relative valuations in some time. This is dominated by large cap tech stocks, which is also helping the Fund’s emphasis on high-quality stocks (i.e., companies with stronger balance sheets and more consistent profitability). The Fund also has a slight emphasis in energy and consumer staples stocks. There has been much less emphasis in consumer discretionary stocks, which are overvalued according to historical relative valuations.  
   
Trades in recent months have been to emphasize CLS’s Investment Themes, including tilts to high-quality equities and international stocks. Turnover for the Fund over the last six months was 7%.  
   
   
*Based on total net asset value as of October 31, 2014. Portfolio holdings are subject to change and should not be a recommendation to buy individual securities. Concentrating in a small number of investments increases the Fund’s risk because each investment has a greater effect on the Fund’s performance.

AdvisorOne Funds Semi-Annual Report Clermont Fund - Portfolio Summary
Portfolio Commentary  
   

Clermont generated a 1.5% total return for the six months ending October 31, 2014. The Fund has a Risk Budget of 55 (i.e., over time, the Fund is 55% as risky as a diversified stock portfolio consisting of 80% domestic equities and 20% international equities). The Fund trailed its benchmark during this time frame, primarily due to its exposure to international securities.

 

Moving forward, the Fund’s notable positions include tilts towards international equities, with an emphasis in emerging markets, Europe, and Asia. Relative valuations, accommodative monetary policy, and improving growth prospects drive this positioning.

 
   
Regarding overall equity positioning, we remain slightly defensive on the market due to valuations concerns. This positioning helped during the two months that the market posted losses. Digging deeper into our equity positioning among domestic sectors, the largest sector tilt is towards the technology sector. Technology stocks are trading at or near their most attractive relative valuations in some time. This is dominated by large cap tech stocks, which is also helping the Fund’s emphasis on high-quality stocks (i.e., companies with stronger balance sheets and more consistent profitability). The Fund also has a tilt towards consumer staples stocks.  
   
The duration for the Fund’s fixed income assets is slightly lower (less interest-rate sensitive) than the overall bond market. We still want high-quality duration in the portfolio to diversify equity exposure, but want to maintain below benchmark weights due to the overall low level of interest rates.  
   
In terms of credit exposure, the Fund is currently positioned to perform better if credit outperforms. That said, fixed income trades in recent months have been made to improve the credit quality of the Fund.  
   
Turnover for the Fund over the last six months was 16%.

AdvisorOne Funds Semi-Annual Report Select Allocation Fund - Portfolio Summary
Portfolio Commentary  
   
Select Allocation generated a 2.9% total return for the six months ending October 31, 2014. The Fund has a Risk Budget of 80 (i.e., over time is approximately 80% as risky as a diversified stock portfolio consisting of 80% domestic equities and 20% international equities). The Fund slightly trailed its benchmark during this time frame, primarily due to its allocation to international securities.  
   
The Fund has an emphasis in the following sectors: technology, health care, and energy. Internationally, the Fund is focused on emerging market countries, such as those in Latin America, Asia, Africa, and the Middle East. The overall allocation is focused on high-quality, low value areas of the market that offer consistent growth opportunities.  
   
Trading in recent months has focused on taking profits from the heavy allocation to technology, and redistributing funds toward energy and health care. International opportunities have also been a focus, with funds deployed toward international areas we feel offer relative value and stability, such as Japan, Asia, and Canada.  
   
Turnover for the Fund over the last six months was 19%.

AdvisorOne Funds Semi-Annual Report Descartes Fund - Portfolio Summary
Portfolio Commentary  
 

Descartes returned 4.8% over the prior six months. The Fund has a Risk Budget of 90 (i.e., over time is approximately 90% as risky as a diversified stock portfolio consisting of 80% domestic equities and 20% international equities). The Fund slightly trailed its benchmark during this time frame, primarily due to its allocation to international securities.

 

The Fund’s largest portfolio tilts are focused in technology and healthcare, both of which correspond to CLS’s Investment Themes. These tilts emphasize undervalued, high- quality sectors, which focus on innovative companies.

 

The Fund is also tilted towards domestic large cap securities, and as a result, has lower allocations to domestic small caps. Large cap securities are more attractively valued and have a better risk/return proposition than smaller companies.

 

Trading in recent months was focused on repositioning fixed income and commodity exposure, as well as increasing the allocation to domestic large cap securities.

 

Turnover for the Fund over the last six months was 10%.

 

 
 

*Based on total net asset value as of October 31, 2014. Portfolio holdings are subject to change and should not be a recommendation to buy individual securities.

AdvisorOne Funds Semi-Annual Report Liahona Fund - Portfolio Summary
Portfolio Commentary  
   
Liahona generated a 3.8% total return for the six months ending October 31, 2014. The Fund has a Risk Budget of 70 (i.e., over time is approximately 70% as risky as a diversified stock portfolio consisting of 80% domestic equities and 20% international equities). The Fund barely trailed its benchmark during this time frame, primarily due to its allocation to international securities.  
   
During the six months ending October 31, 2014, the Fund emphasized equity allocations to technology, growth, healthcare, Asia, and Europe. In order to accommodate these positions small caps, consumer discretionary, and Latin America received allocations below the benchmark. The Fund’s bond positioning emphasized short-term bonds over intermediate and long-term bonds.  
   
Redemptions from the Fund contributed to high levels of trading in September and October, eliminating most of the Fund’s positions. Prior to these two months, trading changes were moderate. New positions in dividend-paying technology stocks and currency-hedged international were established over the period, although the technology position was later sold.  
   
Turnover for the Fund over the last six months was 33%.  
   
 
*Based on total net asset value as of October 31, 2014. Portfolio holdings are subject to change and should not be a recommendation to buy individual securities. Concentrating in a small number of investments increases the Fund’s risk because each investment has a greater effect on the Fund’s performance.

AdvisorOne Funds Semi-Annual Report Enhanced Income Fund - Portfolio Summary
Portfolio Commentary  
   
Enhanced Income generated a total return of 1.2% for the six months ending October 31, 2014. The Fund trailed its benchmark during this time frame, primarily driven by weakness in international holdings versus U.S. equities. Sector positioning was positive, with an emphasis to technology.  
   
Covered call income was positive for the six months ending in October. Volatility picked up August through October offering a stronger opportunity for generating covered call income. Covered call writing was especially beneficial during the month of October, when volatility spiked and the equity market declined.  
   
Allocations were increased to energy, health care and industrials. Also our emphasis on technology continues. U.S. exposure was distributed further toward international stocks with an emphasis on Canada, Latin America, and Asia Emerging.  
   
Turnover for the Fund over the last six months was 19%.  
   
   
*Based on total net asset value as of October 31, 2014. Portfolio holdings are subject to change and should not be a recommendation to buy individual securities.

AdvisorOne Funds Semi-Annual Report Flexible Income Fund - Portfolio Summary
Portfolio Commentary  
   
Flexible Income generated a total return of 0.98% for the six months ending October 31, 2014. While Flexible Income’s portfolio continues to accept credit risk, we slightly reduced our exposure to high credit bonds in favor of higher quality securities. Further, we increased our exposure to floating rate securities in anticipation of the Federal Reserve raising short term interest rates at some point in 2015.  
   
Although the economic landscape in the U.S. was favorable over the past six months, long-term interest rates fell as growth in other countries continued to weaken and there were no signs of imminent inflation to prompt the Fed to think about raising rates sooner than anticipated. Duration in the Fund remained steady throughout the period, but remains shorter than the benchmark.  
   
Although we continue to expect somewhat subpar growth, we believe it will still allow for short-term rates to grind higher and bond returns to be consistent with the income they generate going forward. Additionally, we continue to maintain a modest equity exposure in the Fund to help drive performance relative to the benchmark.  
   
Turnover for the Fund over the last six months was 1%.

AdvisorOne Funds Semi-Annual Report Select Appreciation Fund - Portfolio Summary
Portfolio Commentary  
   
Select Appreciation returned 1.9% over the prior six months. The Fund has a Risk Budget of 110 (i.e., over time has 110% of the risk of a diversified stock portfolio consisting of 80% domestic equities and 20% international equities). The Fund trailed its benchmark during this time frame, primarily due to its allocation to international securities and smaller companies.  
   
Moving forward, the Fund’s notable positions include a tilt towards international equities, with a focus on developed European and Asian equities. With expectations and valuations low for European equities, and improving economic growth, this is the Fund’s largest portfolio tilt. Low valuations, improving economic momentum, and increasing liquidity in both developed and emerging Asian economies has warranted an increased allocation by the Fund.  
   
Among domestic sectors, the largest portfolio tilts are focused on technology and healthcare. Both of which correspond to CLS’s Investment Themes. These tilts emphasize undervalued, high-quality sectors that focus on innovative companies. To maintain the Fund’s diversified nature, specific subsectors such as medical devices, pharmaceuticals, and semiconductors were emphasized.  
   
Recent trades increased the allocation to the attractive international regions, reduced domestic sectors with higher valuations, and increased the Fund’s weight towards larger companies.  
   
Turnover for the Fund over the last six months was 12%

AdvisorOne Funds Semi-Annual Report Shelter Fund - Portfolio Summary
Portfolio Commentary  
   
Shelter generated a 4.8% total return for the six months ending October 31, 2014. The Fund beat its benchmark by 0.7%, primarily due to its above benchmark stock allocation during a period of positive market performance. The Fund also benefited from positive performance from the lower risk stock allocations used when the portfolio becomes more defensive.  
   
During the six months ending October 31, 2014, markets were fairly calm and there were only two moves designed to add protection to the portfolio. The first one, in late July, was short-lived and had a minimal effect on the portfolio. The second one, beginning in early October, triggered a greater shift towards protected assets. As of October 31st the portfolio is 25% invested in low and minimum volatility positions in order to reduce risk.  
   
Over the period, the Fund emphasized growth stocks relative to value stocks. The Fund also reduced its position in small and mid-cap stocks in favor of large cap stocks and international stocks.  
   
Turnover for the Fund over the last six months was 39%.

CLS Investments, LLC (the “Adviser”) has elected to change the benchmark for the Fund. Going forward, the Russell 3000 Index will replace the S&P 500 Index as the Fund’s primary broad-based index. The S&P 500 Index will continue to be shown with the risk budget benchmark information for a period of one year.

 

The MSCI ACWI (ex-US) is a market-capitalization weighted index that provides a broad measure of stock performance throughout the world, with the exception of U.S.-based equities. The index includes both developed and emerging markets.

 

*Performance of the risk budget benchmark shows how the Fund’s performance compares to an index with similar investment strategies and underlying holdings as the Fund. The risk budget benchmark consists of (i) 75% of a blended benchmark consisting of 80% of the Russell 3000® Index and 20% of the MSCI ACWI (ex-US), and (ii) 25% of the 1-3 month Treasury Bill index.

2.Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

 

The following is a summary of significant accounting policies 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 (“GAAP”). The preparation of financial statements 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 income and expenses for the period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Security Valuation – Securities listed on an exchange are valued at the last reported sale price at the close of the regular trading session of the exchange on the business day the value is being determined, or in the case of securities listed on NASDAQ at the NASDAQ Official Closing Price (“NOCP”). In the absence of a sale such securities shall be valued at the mean between the current bid and ask prices on the day of valuation. Exchange traded options, futures and options on futures are valued at the settlement price determined by the exchange. Short-term investments that mature in 60 days or less may be valued at amortized cost, provided such valuations represent fair value. Debt securities (other than short-term obligations) are valued each day by an independent pricing service approved by the Trust’s Board of Trustees (the “Board”) based on methods which include consideration of: yields or prices of securities of comparable quality, coupon, maturity and type, indications as to values from dealers, and general market conditions or market quotations from a major market maker in the securities.

 

The Funds may hold securities, such as private placements, interests in commodity pools, other non-traded securities or temporarily illiquid securities, for which market quotations are not readily available or are determined to be unreliable. These securities will be valued at their fair market value as determined using the “fair value” procedures approved by the Board. The Board has delegated execution of these procedures to a fair value team composed of one or more representatives from each of the (i) Trust, (ii) administrator, and (iii) advisor. The team may also enlist third party consultants such as an audit firm or valuation consultant on an as-needed basis to assist in determining a security-specific fair value. The Board reviews and ratifies the execution of this process and the resultant fair value prices at least quarterly to assure the process produces reliable results.

 

Fair Valuation Process – This team is composed of one or more representatives from each of the (i) Trust, (ii) administrator, and (iii) advisor. The applicable investments are valued collectively via inputs from each of these groups. For example, fair value determinations are required for the following securities: (i) securities for which market quotations are insufficient or not readily available on a particular business day (including securities for which there is a short and temporary lapse in the provision of a price by the regular pricing source), (ii) securities for which, in the judgment of the advisor, the prices or values available do not represent the fair value of the instrument. Factors which may cause the advisor to make such a judgment include, but are not limited to, the following: only a bid price or an asked price is available; the spread between bid and asked prices is substantial; the frequency of sales; the thinness of the market; the size of reported trades; and actions of the securities markets, such as the suspension or limitation of trading; (iii) securities determined to be illiquid; (iv) securities with respect to which an event that will affect the value thereof has occurred (a “significant event”) since the closing prices were established on the principal exchange on which they are traded, but prior to a Fund’s calculation of its net asset value. Specifically, interests in commodity pools or managed futures pools are valued on a daily basis by reference to the closing market prices of each futures contract or other asset held by a pool, as adjusted for pool expenses. Restricted or illiquid securities, such as private placements or non-traded securities are valued via inputs from the advisor based upon the current bid for the security

65
 
AdvisorOne Funds Semi-Annual Report
 
Notes to Financial Statements (Unaudited)(Continued)

from two or more independent dealers or other parties reasonably familiar with the facts and circumstances of the security (who should take into consideration all relevant factors as may be appropriate under the circumstances). If the advisor is unable to obtain a current bid from such independent dealers or other independent parties, the fair value team shall determine the fair value of such security using the following factors: (i) the type of security; (ii) the cost at date of purchase; (iii) the size and nature of a Fund’s holdings; (iv) the discount from market value of unrestricted securities of the same class at the time of purchase and subsequent thereto; (v) information as to any transactions or offers with respect to the security; (vi) the nature and duration of restrictions on disposition of the security and the existence of any registration rights; (vii) how the yield of the security compares to similar securities of companies of similar or equal creditworthiness; (viii) the level of recent trades of similar or comparable securities; (ix) the liquidity characteristics of the security; (x) current market conditions; and (xi) the market value of any securities into which the security is convertible or exchangeable.

 

Valuation of Fund of Funds – The Funds may invest in portfolios of open-end or closed-end investment companies (the “Underlying Funds”). The Underlying Funds value securities in their portfolios for which market quotations are readily available at their market values (generally the last reported sale price) and all other securities and assets at their fair value to the methods established by the board of directors of the Underlying Funds.

 

Open-ended investment companies are valued at their respective net asset values as reported by such investment companies. The shares of many closed-end investment companies, after their initial public offering, frequently trade at a price per share, which is different than the net asset value per share. The difference represents a market premium or market discount of such shares. There can be no assurances that the market discount or market premium on shares of any closed-end investment company purchased by the Funds will not change.

 

The Funds utilize various methods to measure the fair value of all of its investments on a recurring basis. GAAP establishes a hierarchy that prioritizes inputs to valuation methods. The three levels of input are:

 

Level 1 – Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities that a Fund has the ability to access.

 

Level 2 – Observable inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly. These inputs may include quoted prices for the identical instrument in an inactive market, prices for similar instruments, interest rates, prepayment speeds, 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 a 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.

 

The availability of observable inputs can vary from security to security and is affected by a wide variety of factors, including, for example, the type of security, whether the security is new and not yet established in the marketplace, the liquidity of markets, and other characteristics particular to the

66
 
AdvisorOne Funds Semi-Annual Report
 
Notes to Financial Statements (Unaudited)(Continued)

security. To the extent that valuation is based on models or inputs that are less observable or unobservable in the market, the determination of fair value requires more judgment.

 

Accordingly, the degree of judgment exercised in determining fair value is greatest for instruments categorized in Level 3.

 

The inputs used to measure fair value may fall into different levels of the fair value hierarchy. In such cases, for disclosure purposes, the level in the fair value hierarchy within which the fair value measurement falls in its entirety, is determined based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety.

 

The inputs or methodology used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities. The following table summarizes the inputs used as of October 31, 2014 for the Funds’ investments measured at fair value:

Refer to the Schedules of Investments for security classifications.

 

Foreign Currency Translations

 

The accounting records of the Funds are maintained in U.S. dollars. Investment securities and other assets and liabilities denominated in a foreign currency, and income receipts and expense payments are translated into U.S. dollars at the prevailing exchange rate on the respective dates of the transactions. Purchases and sales of securities are translated into U.S. dollars at the contractual currency rates established at the approximate time of the trade.

 

Net realized gains and losses on foreign currency transactions represent net gains and losses from currency realized between the trade and settlement dates on securities transactions and the difference between income accrued versus income received. The effects of changes in foreign currency exchange rates on investments in securities are included with the net realized and unrealized gain or loss on investment securities.

Exchange Traded Funds

 

The Funds may invest in exchange traded funds (“ETFs”). ETFs are a type of index fund bought and sold on a securities exchange. An ETF trades like common stock and represents a fixed portfolio of securities designed to track the performance and dividend yield of a particular domestic or foreign market index. A Fund may purchase an ETF to temporarily gain exposure to a portion of the U.S. or a foreign market while awaiting purchase of underlying securities. The risks of owning an ETF generally reflect the risks of owning the underlying securities they are designed to track, although the lack of liquidity on an ETF could result in it being more volatile. Additionally, ETFs have fees and expenses that reduce their value.

 

Exchange Traded Notes

 

The Funds may invest in exchange traded notes (“ETNs”). ETNs are a type of debt security that is linked to the performance of underlying securities. The risks of owning ETNs generally reflect the risks of owning the underlying securities they are designed to track. In addition, ETNs are subject to credit risk generally to the same extent as debt securities.

 

Options Transactions

 

The Funds are subject to equity price risk in the normal course of pursuing their investment objectives and may purchase or sell options to help hedge against this risk.

 

The Funds may write call options only if they (i) own an offsetting position in the underlying security or (ii) have an absolute or immediate right to acquire that security without additional cash consideration or exchange of other securities held in its portfolio.

 

When a Fund writes a call option, an amount equal to the premium received is included in the statement of assets and liabilities as a liability. The amount of the liability is subsequently marked-to-market to reflect the current market value of the option. If an option expires on its stipulated expiration date or if a Fund enters into a closing purchase transaction, a gain or loss is realized. If a written call option is exercised, a gain or loss is realized for the sale of the underlying security and the proceeds from the sale are increased by the premium originally received. As writer of an option, a Fund has no control over whether the option will be exercised and, as a result, retains the market risk of an unfavorable change in the price of the security underlying the written option.

 

The Funds may purchase put and call options. Put options are purchased to hedge against a decline in the value of securities held in a Fund’s portfolio. If such a decline occurs, the put options will permit the Fund to sell the securities underlying such options at the exercise price, or to close out the options at a profit. The premium paid for a put or call option plus any transaction costs will reduce the benefit, if any, realized by the Fund upon exercise of the option, and, unless the price of the underlying security rises or declines sufficiently, the option may expire worthless to the Fund. In addition, in the event that the price of the security in connection with which an option was purchased moves in a direction favorable to the Fund, the benefits realized by the Fund as a result of such favorable movement will be reduced by the amount of the premium paid for the option and related transaction costs. Written and purchased options are non-income producing securities. With

purchased options, there is minimal counterparty credit risk to the Fund since these options are exchange traded and the exchange’s clearinghouse, as counterparty to all exchange traded options, guarantees against a possible default.

 

For the six months ended October 31, 2014, the Enhanced Income Fund had options written located on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities in the liabilities section in the amount of $434,618.

 

For the six months ended October 31, 2014, the Fund’s net realized gains, stated in the table below, on options subject to equity price risk are included in the line item marked “Net realized gain (loss) on options written” and the Fund’s net unrealized appreciation/depreciation, stated below, on options subject to equity price risk included in the line item marked “Net change in unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on written options” on the Statements of Operations in this shareholder report and serve as an indicator of the volume of derivative activity for the Fund.

Offsetting of Financial Assets and Derivative Assets

 

The following table presents the Fund’s liability derivatives available for offset under a master netting arrangement net of collateral pledged as of October 31, 2014.

(1)Written options at value as presented in the Schedule of Investments.

 

(2)The amount is limited to the derivative liability balance and accordingly, does not include excess collateral pledged.

 

Securities Sold Short

 

A “short sale” is a transaction in which a Fund sells a security it does not own but has borrowed in anticipation that the market price of that security will decline. The Funds are obligated to replace the security borrowed by purchasing it on the open market at a later date. If the price of the security sold short increases between the time of the short sale and the time a Fund replaces the borrowed security, a Fund will incur a loss, unlimited in size. Conversely, if the price declines, a Fund will realize a gain, limited to the price at which a Fund sold the security short.

 

Income Taxes

 

It is each Fund’s policy to comply with all sections of the Internal Revenue Code applicable to regulated investment companies and to distribute all of its taxable income and gains to its shareholders and therefore, no provision for federal income tax has been made. Each Fund is treated as a separate taxpayer for federal income tax purposes.

 

The Funds recognize the tax benefits of uncertain tax positions only where the position is “more likely than not” to be sustained assuming examination by tax authorities. Management has analyzed the Funds’ tax positions, and has concluded that no liability for unrecognized tax benefits should be recorded related to uncertain tax positions taken on returns filed for open tax years (2011-2013), or expected to be taken in the Funds’ 2014 tax returns. The Funds identified their major tax jurisdictions as U.S. Federal, Nebraska and foreign jurisdictions where the Funds make significant investments; however, the Funds are not aware of any tax positions for which it is reasonably

72
 
AdvisorOne Funds Semi-Annual Report
 
Notes to Financial Statements (Unaudited)(Continued)
October 31, 2014

 

possible that the total amounts of unrecognized tax benefits will change materially in the next twelve months.

 

Security Transactions and Related Income

 

Investment security transactions are accounted for on a trade date basis. Cost is determined and gains and losses are based upon the specific identification method for both financial statement and Federal income tax purposes. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date and interest income is recorded on the accrual basis. Purchase discounts and premiums on securities are accreted and amortized over the life of the respective securities.

 

Expenses

 

Expenses of the Trust that are directly identifiable to a specific Fund, are charged to that Fund. Expenses, which are not readily identifiable to a specific Fund, are allocated in such a manner as deemed equitable, taking into consideration the nature and type of expense and the relative sizes of the Funds. Each Fund’s income, expenses (other than the class specific distribution fees) and realized and unrealized gains and losses are allocated proportionally each day between the classes based upon the relative net assets of each class.

 

Distributions to Shareholders

 

Income will normally be declared and distributed annually for all of the Funds with exception of Enhanced Income and Flexible Income. Income will normally be declared and distributed quarterly for Enhanced Income and monthly for Flexible Income. The Funds declare and pay net realized capital gains, if any, annually. The character of income and gains to be distributed is determined in accordance with income tax regulations which may differ from accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. These differences are primarily due to the treatment of wash sale losses, grantor trust and partnership income.

 

Indemnification

 

The Trust indemnifies its officers and trustees for certain liabilities that may arise from the performance of their duties to the Trust. Additionally, in the normal course of business, the Funds enter into contracts that contain a variety of representations and warranties and which provide general indemnities. A Fund’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown, as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Funds that have not yet occurred. However, based on experience, the Trust expects the risk of loss due to these warranties and indemnities to be remote.

 

3.Fees and Compensation Paid to Affiliates and Other Parties

 

Advisory Fees

 

The Trust has entered into an Investment Advisory Agreement with CLS Investments, LLC (the “Advisor”, formerly Clarke Lanzen Skalla Investment Firm, LLC), a subsidiary of NorthStar Financial Services Group, LLC. As compensation for the services rendered, facilities furnished, and expenses borne by the Advisor, the Funds will pay the Advisor a fee accrued daily and paid monthly, at the annualized rate of 1.00% of net assets for all funds with the exception of Enhanced Income

73

and Flexible Income. The rates these Funds will pay are as follows: Enhanced Income, 0.90%; and Flexible Income, 0.65%.

 

The Adviser has contractually agreed to waive or limit its management fees and to reimburse expenses, other than expenses relating to dividends on short sales, interest expense, indirect fees and expenses of underlying funds, and extraordinary or non-recurring expenses, through December 31, 2015, so that the annual operating expenses of the Funds do not exceed the percentage of the average daily net assets as indicated below:

 

     Expense Limitation 
Class C (Amerigo Only)   2.15%
Class N (Amerigo, Clermont, Select Allocation, Descartes, Liahona, Select Appreciation and Shelter)   1.15%
Class N (Enhanced)   1.05%
Class N (Flexible Income)   0.80%

 

The waivers and reimbursements, if any, of the Advisor’s fees for the six months ended October 31, 2014, were as follows:

 

Fund    Waiver/Reimbursement
    
Amerigo Fund  $68,101

Fees waived or expenses reimbursed may be recouped by the Advisor from a Fund for a period up to three years from the date the fee or expense was waived or reimbursed. However, no recoupment payment will be made by a Fund if it would result in the Fund exceeding the contractual expense limitation described above. During the six months ended October 31, 2014, the Advisor recaptured no fees for prior period expense waivers/reimbursements from the Funds. The table below contains the amounts of fee waivers and expense reimbursements subject to recapture by the Advisor through April 30 of the years indicated.

7.Securities Lending

 

Amerigo Fund, Clermont Fund, Select Allocation Fund, Descartes Fund, Liahona Fund, Flexible Income Fund and the Select Appreciation Fund have entered into a securities lending arrangement with The Bank of New York Mellon (the “Borrower”). Under the terms of the agreement, the Funds are authorized to loan securities to the Borrower. In exchange, the Fund receives cash collateral in the amount of at least 102% of the value of the securities loaned. The value of securities loaned is disclosed in a Foot Note on the statement of Assets & Liabilities and on the Schedule of Investments. Securities lending income is disclosed in the Funds’ Statements of Operations. Although risk is mitigated by the collateral, the Funds could experience a delay in recovering their securities and possible loss of income or value if the Borrower fails to return them.

As of April 30, 2014, the components of accumulated earnings/ (deficit) on a tax basis were as follows:

 

   Undistributed   Undistributed   Post October   Capital Loss   Other   Unrealized   Total 
   Ordinary   Long-Term   Loss and   Carry   Book/Tax   Appreciation/   Accumulated 
Portfolio  Income   Capital Gains   Late Year Loss   Forwards   Differences   (Depreciation)   Earnings/(Deficits) 
Amerigo Fund  $3,643,853   $   $   $(9,101,571)  $   $97,435,085   $91,977,367 
Clermont Fund       2,485,785                31,180,807    33,666,592 
Select Allocation Fund       1,143,819                34,641,912    35,785,731 
Descartes Fund       933,424                32,914,201    33,847,625 
Liahona Fund   48,243    5,367,154                28,024,981    33,440,378 
Enhanced Income Fund           (38,685)       (314,891)   (1,803,047)   (2,156,623)
Flexible Income Fund   349,146        (75,299)   (81,169)       2,024,398    2,217,076 
Select Appreciation Fund   104,212    1,459,128                17,538,321    19,101,661 
Shelter Fund   388,855            (9,442)       6,154,056    6,533,469 

 

The difference between book basis and tax basis undistributed net investment income/(loss), accumulated net realized gain/(loss), and unrealized appreciation/(depreciation) from investments is primarily attributable to the tax deferral of losses on wash sales and straddles, and adjustments for partnerships.

 

Capital losses incurred after October 31 within the fiscal year are deemed to arise on the first business day of the following fiscal year for tax purposes. The Funds incurred and elected to defer such capital losses as follows:

 

   Post October 
Portfolio      Losses 
Enhanced Income Fund  $38,685 
Flexible Income Fund   75,299 

 

The Regulated Investment Company Modernization Act of 2010 which was enacted on December 22, 2010 requires the Funds to utilize post-enactment (non-expiring) capital losses prior to pre-enactment capital loss carryovers for fiscal year ends beginning after the date of enactment. As a result, there may be greater likelihood that all or a portion of the Funds’ pre-enactment capital loss carryovers may expire without being utilized. At April 30, 2014, the Funds had capital loss carry forwards for federal income tax purposes available to offset future capital gains as follows:

 

       Non-Expiring   Non-Expiring     
Portfolio  2018   Short-Term   Long-Term   Total 
Amerigo Fund  $9,101,571   $   $   $9,101,571 
Flexible Income Fund       81,169        81,169 
Shelter Fund       9,442        9,442

Notes to Financial Statements (Unaudited)(Continued)
October 31, 2014

 

Permanent book and tax differences, primarily attributable to the reclass of net operating losses and ordinary income distributions, adjustments for paydowns, real estate investment trusts, grantor trusts, partnerships and the capitalization of in lieu dividend payments, resulted in reclassifications for the following the Funds for the year ended April 30, 2014 as follows:

 

   Undistributed   Undistributed 
   Ordinary   Long-Term 
Portfolio    Income (Loss)     Gains (Loss) 
Amerigo Fund  $102,087   $(102,087)
Clermont Fund   3,126,807    (3,126,807)
Select Allocation Fund   2,559,053    (2,559,053)
Descartes Fund   1,037,824    (1,037,824)
Liahona Fund   (25,958)   25,958 
Enhanced Income Fund   101,861    (101,861)
Flexible Income Fund   275,898    (275,898)
Select Appreciation Fund   540,199    (540,199)
Shelter Fund   (1,436)   1,436

Shareholder Expense Example (Unaudited)

 

As a shareholder of the Funds you may incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including contingent deferred sales charges on redemptions and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees; distribution and/or service (12b-1 fees) fees; and other Fund expenses. This Example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in each Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds.

 

This Example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period as indicated below.

 

Actual Expenses: The first section of the table provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. 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 applicable number under the heading entitled “Expenses Paid During the Period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during the period.

 

Hypothetical Examples for Comparison Purposes: The second section of the table below provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on each 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 Fund 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 transactional costs, such as sales charges (loads), or contingent deferred sales charges on redemptions. Therefore, the second section 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 transactional costs were included, your costs would have been higher.
