The Trust has performed an analysis of all existing investments to determine the significance and character of all inputs to their fair value determination.
 
Various inputs are used in determining the value of the Fund's investments. These inputs are summarized in the three broad levels listed below:
 
                         
Level 1 - Quoted prices in active markets for identical securities.
                   
Level 2 - Other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.)
 
Level 3 - Significant unobservable inputs (including the Fund’s own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments).
In addition to the fair-valued securities, the other securities designated as level 3 included securities where prices are obtained from a broker quote in an illiquid market.
     
                         
The following is a summary of the inputs used to value the Fund’s assets and liabilities as of September 30, 2015:

The Trust has performed an analysis of all existing investments to determine the significance and character of all inputs to their fair value determination.
Various inputs are used in determining the value of the Fund's investments. These inputs are summarized in the three broad levels listed below:
 
Level 1 - Quoted prices in active markets for identical securities.
Level 2 - Other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.)
Level 3 - Significant unobservable inputs (including the Fund's own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments). In addition
to the fair-valued securities, the other securities designated as level 3 included securities where prices are obtained from a broker quote in an illiquid market.
 
The following is a summary of the inputs used to value the Fund's net assets as of September 30, 2015 (Unaudited) :

The significant unobservable inputs used in the fair value measurement of the Fund's escrowed securities are the likelihood that cash
flows or shares will be received in the future.  Significant increases in the probability of default for these securities would result in
a lower fair value measurement.  The significant unobservable inputs used in the fair value measurement of the Fund's common stock are
generally the financial results of privately held entities.  If the financial condition of these companies was to deteriorate, or if market comparables
were to fall, the value of common stock in private companies held by the Trust would be lower.
 
The standard inputs typically considered by third party pricing vendors and broker-dealers when generating broker quotes may include reported trade data,
broker-dealer price quotations, and information obtained from market participants.
 
The Trust's valuation procedures have been adopted by the Trust's Board of Trustees, which has established a Valuation Committee to oversee the
implementation of these procedures.  The valuation procedures are implemented by the Advisor and the Fund's third party administrator, which
report to the Valuation Committee.  For third-party information, the Advisor monitors and reviews the methodologies of the various
pricing services employed by the Trust.  The Advisor develops valuation techniques for shares of private companies held by the Trust,
which include discounted cash flow methods and market comparables.

HATTERAS ALTERNATIVE MUTUAL FUNDS TRUST
HATTERAS MARKET NEUTRAL FUND
                         
The Trust has performed an analysis of all existing investments to determine the significance and character of all inputs to their fair value determination.
       
Various inputs are used in determining the value of the Fund's investments. These inputs are summarized in the three broad levels listed below:
       
                         
Level 1 - Quoted prices in active markets for identical securities.
                       
Level 2 - Other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.)
       
Level 3 - Significant unobservable inputs (including the Fund's own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments). In addition
       
to the fair-valued securities, the other securities designated as level 3 included securities where prices are obtained from a broker quote in an illiquid market.
       
                         
The following is a summary of the inputs used to value the Fund's net assets as of September 30, 2015 (Unaudited):

Hatteras Alternative Mutual Funds Trust
Notes to Schedule of Investments
September 30, 2015 (Unaudited)

1. Security Valuation
 
Hatteras Alternative Mutual Funds Trust consists of the following eight series: the Hatteras Alpha Hedged Strategies Fund (“Alpha”), the Hatteras Alternative Multi-Manager Fund (“Alt. Multi-Manager”), the Hatteras Disciplined Opportunity Fund (“Disciplined Opportunity”), the Hatteras Event Driven Fund (“Event Driven”), the Hatteras Long/Short Debt Fund (“Long/Short Debt”), the Hatteras Long/Short Equity Fund (“Long/Short Equity”), the Hatteras Managed Futures Strategies Fund (“Managed Futures”) and the Hatteras Market Neutral Fund (“Market Neutral”), (individually a “Fund,” collectively, the “Funds”).

Alpha, Alt. Multi-Manager, Long/Short Debt, Long/Short Equity, and Managed Futures generally do not make direct investments in securities or financial instruments, and invest substantially all of their assets in Event Driven, Market Neutral, and the series of the Underlying Funds Trust (“the UFT Portfolios”). Alpha, Alt. Multi-Manager, Long/Short Debt, Long/Short Equity, and Managed Futures record their investment in Event Driven, Market Neutral and the UFT Portfolios at the stated net asset value, which equals fair value.

Investments in Disciplined Opportunity, Event Driven, Market Neutral, and the UFT Portfolios are valued in the following manner:

Exchange-traded and over-the-counter securities are valued at the closing price of the applicable exchange on the day the valuation is made. Listed securities and put and call options for which no sale was reported on a particular day and securities traded over-the-counter are valued at the mean between the last bid and ask prices. Fixed income securities (other than obligations having a maturity of 60 days or less from date of purchase) are valued on the basis of values obtained from pricing services or from brokers, which take into account appropriate factors such as institutional sized trading in similar groups of securities, yield, quality, coupon rate, maturity, type of issue, trading characteristics and other market data. Fixed income securities purchased with remaining maturities of 60 days or less are valued at amortized cost, which approximates fair value.
  
Options are valued daily at the last reported sale price at the close of the exchange on which the security is primarily traded. If no sales are reported for exchange-traded options, or the options are not exchange-traded, then they are valued at the mean of the most recent quoted bid and asked prices. Futures are valued at the last reported sale price on the exchange on which they are traded or at the mean of the last bid and asked prices. Foreign securities are valued in their local currencies as of the close of the primary exchange or as of the close of the domestic markets, whichever is earlier. Foreign securities are then converted into U.S. dollars using the applicable currency exchange rates as of the close of the domestic markets.

Securities and other assets for which market quotations are not readily available (including restricted securities) will be valued in good faith at fair value under the supervision of the Board. In determining the fair value of a security, Hatteras Funds, LLC (the "Advisor") and the Board shall take into account the relevant factors and surrounding circumstances, which may include: (i) the nature and pricing history (if any) of the security; (ii) whether any dealer quotations for the security are available; (iii) possible valuation methodologies that could be used to determine the fair value of the security; (iv) the recommendation of the portfolio managers with respect to the valuation of the security; (v) whether the same or similar securities are held by other funds managed by the Advisor or other funds and the method used to price the security in those funds; (vi) the extent to which the fair value to be determined for the security will result from the use of data or formula produced by third parties independent of the Advisor; and (vii) the liquidity or illiquidity of the market for the security. When a furnished price is significantly different from the previous day's price, the Advisor will review the price to determine if it is appropriate. When prices are not readily available, or are determined to not reflect fair value, such as when the value of a security has been significantly affected by events after the close of the exchange or market on which the security is principally traded, but before the funds calculate their net asset value, the Funds may value their securities or fair value as determined in accordance with procedures approved by the Board of Trustees. The financial statements may include adjustments made subsequent to year-end related to subsequent valuation information obtained. Therefore, the net assets reflected in these financial statements may differ from the reported NAV's of the Portfolios as of September 30, 2015.

Security Transactions, Investment Income and Realized Gain and Loss
Investment and shareholder transactions are recorded on trade date. Realized gains and losses on the sale of investments are calculated on the identified cost basis. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date and interest income is recognized on an accrual basis. All premiums and discounts, including original issue discounts, are amortized/accreted using the interest method. All significant accounting policies are in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.
 
Repurchase Agreements
Disciplined Opportunity, Event Driven and Market Neutral may enter into repurchase agreements with a member bank of the Federal Reserve System or recognized securities dealer. Each repurchase agreement is recorded at cost, which approximates fair value. The Fund will receive, as collateral securities whose fair value, including accrued interest, at all times will be at least equal to 100% of the amount invested  in each repurchase agreement. If the seller defaults and the value of the collateral declines, realization of the collateral may be delayed or limited.
 
Foreign Currency Translations and Transactions
Disciplined Opportunity, Event Driven and Market Neutral may engage in foreign currency transactions. Foreign currency transactions are translated into U.S. dollars on the following basis (i) market value of investment securities, assets and liabilities at the daily rates of exchange, and (ii) purchases and sales of investment securities, dividend and interest income and certain expenses at the rates of exchange prevailing on the respective dates of such transactions. For financial reporting purposes, each Fund does not isolate changes in the exchange rate of investment securities from the fluctuations arising from changes in the market prices of securities for unrealized gains and losses. However, for federal income tax purposes, each Fund does isolate and treat as ordinary income the effect of changes in foreign exchange rates on realized gain or loss from the sale of investment securities and payables and receivables arising from trade-date and settlement-date differences.
 
Disciplined Opportunity, Event Driven and Market Neutral may enter into forward currency exchange contracts obligating each Fund to deliver and receive a currency at a specified future date. Each Fund is subject to foreign currency exchange rate risk in the normal course of pursuing its investment objectives. Each Fund may use forward currency exchange contracts to gain exposure to, and to hedge against changes in the value of foreign currencies. With forward currency exchange contracts, there is minimal counter-party credit risk since forward currency exchange contracts are exchange traded and the exchange's clearinghouse, as counterparty to all exchange traded forward currency exchange contracts, guarantees the forward currency exchange contracts against default. Unrealized appreciation or depreciation is recorded daily as the difference between the contract exchange rate and the closing forward rate applied to the face amount of the contract. A realized gain or loss is recorded at the time the forward contract is closed.
 
Convertible Securities
Disciplined Opportunity, Event Driven and Market Neutral may invest in convertible securities. A convertible security is a fixed-income security (a debt instrument or a preferred stock), which may be converted at a stated price within a specified period of time into a certain quantity of the common stock of the same or a different issuer. Convertible securities are senior to common stocks in an issuer's capital structure, but are usually subordinated to similar non-convertible securities. While providing a fixed income stream (generally higher in yield than the income derivable from common stock but lower than that afforded by a similar nonconvertible security), a convertible security also gives an investor the opportunity, through its conversion feature, to participate in the capital appreciation of the issuing company depending upon a market price advance in the convertible security's underlying common stock.
 
Warrants
Disciplined Opportunity, Event Driven and Market Neutral may invest a portion of their assets in warrants. A warrant gives the holder a right to purchase at any time during a specified period a predetermined number of shares of common stock at a fixed price. Unlike convertible debt securities or preferred stock, warrants do not pay a fixed coupon or dividend. Investments in warrants involve certain risks, including the possible lack of a liquid market for resale of the warrants, potential price fluctuations as a result of speculation or other factors, and failure of the price of the underlying security to reach or have reasonable prospects of reaching a level at which the warrant can be prudently exercised (in which event the warrant may expire without being exercised, resulting in a loss of the entire investment therein).

Short Sales
Disciplined Opportunity, Event Driven and Market Neutral may engage in short sale transactions. Short sales are transactions in which the Fund sells a security it does not own in anticipation of a decline in the market value of that security. This typically is done for economic hedging purposes to protect the Fund under circumstances when the stock price of a portfolio holding is deteriorating. For financial statement purposes, an amount equal to the required amount of collateral to be segregated for short positions is included in the Statements of Assets and Liabilities as an asset. The amount of the securities sold short, shown as a liability, subsequently is marked-to-market to reflect the current value of the short position. Subsequent fluctuations in the market prices of securities sold, but not yet purchased, may require purchasing the securities at prices that could differ from the amount reflected in the Statements of Assets and Liabilities. The Fund is liable for any dividends or interest payable on securities while those securities are in a short position. Dividends received on short positions are categorized as dividend expense in the Statement of Operations. As collateral for its short positions, each Fund is required to maintain segregated assets consisting of cash, cash equivalents, or liquid securities. The amount of segregated assets is required to be adjusted daily to reflect changes in the market value of the securities sold short. The Fund will incur a loss as a result of the short sale if the price of the security sold short increases between the date of the short sale and the date on which the Portfolio replaces the borrowed security. The Fund will realize a gain if the security sold short declines in price between those dates. The potential loss of investing in a short position is unlimited.
 
Restricted Securities
Disciplined Opportunity, Event Driven and Market Neutral are permitted to invest in securities that are subject to legal or contractual restrictions on resales ("restricted securities"). Restricted securities may be resold in transactions that are exempt from registration under Federal securities laws or if the securities are publically registered. Restricted securities may be deemed illiquid, whereby the prompt sale of these securities at their stated value may be difficult. Information regarding restricted securities held by each Fund is included in the Schedule of Investments.
 
To Be Announced ("TBA") Transactions
Disciplined Opportunity, Event Driven and Market Neutral may purchase securities on a forward commitment or on a "To Be Announced" basis. The Fund records TBA transactions on the trade date and segregates with the custodian qualifying assets that have sufficient value to make payment for the securities purchased. TBA securities are marked-to-market daily and the Fund begins earning interest on the settlement date. Losses may arise due to changes in the market value of the underlying securities or if the counterparty does not perform under the contract. During the nine months ended September 30, 2015, Disciplined Opportunity, Event Driven and Market Neutral did not engage in any TBA transactions.
 
Bank Loans — Event Driven may purchase senior secured floating rate loans or senior secured floating rate debt securities (collectively "Bank Loans"). Bank Loans are valued using an evaluated quote provided by an independent pricing service. Evaluated quotes provided by the pricing service may reflect appropriate factors such as ratings, tranche type, industry, company performance, spread, individual trading characteristics, institution-size trading in similar groups of securities and other market data.
 
Investments in Bank Loans are subject to interest rate risk and credit risk. Interest rate risk refers to fluctuations in the value of a loan resulting from changes in the general level of interest rates. Credit risk refers to the possibility that the borrower of a loan will be unable and/or unwilling to make timely interest payments and/or repay the principal on its obligation. Default in the payment of interest or principal on a loan will result in a reduction in the value of the loan and consequently a reduction in the value of Event Driven's investments and a potential decrease in the NAV of Event Driven. Some of the Bank Loans in which Event Driven will invest may be secured by specific collateral, however there can be no assurance that such collateral would satisfy the borrower's obligation in the event of non-payment of scheduled interest or principal or that such collateral could be readily liquidated. In the event of the bankruptcy of a borrower, Event Driven's access to the collateral may be limited by bankruptcy or other insolvency loans and, therefore, Event Driven could experience delays or limitations with respect to its ability to realize the benefits of the collateral securing a Bank Loan.

Notes to Schedule of Investments

There is no organized exchange on which Bank Loans are traded and reliable market quotations may not be readily available. Therefore, elements of judgment may play a greater role in valuation of Bank Loans than for securities with a more developed secondary market and Event Driven may not realize full value in the event of the need to sell a Bank Loan. To the extent that a secondary market does exist for certain loans, the market may be subject to volatility, irregular trading activity, wide bid/ask spreads, decreased liquidity and extended trade settlement periods. Some Bank Loans are subject to the risk that a court, pursuant to fraudulent conveyance or other similar laws, could subordinate the Bank Loans to presently existing or future indebtedness of the borrower or take other action detrimental to lenders, including Event Driven, such as invalidation of the Bank Loans or causing interest previously paid to be refunded to the borrower. Investments in Bank Loans also are subject to the risk of changes in legislation or state or federal regulations. If such legislation or regulations impose additional requirements or restrictions on the ability of financial institutions to make loans, the availability of Bank Loans for investment by Event Driven may be adversely affected. Many Bank Loans are not registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission or any state securities commission and often are not rated by any nationally recognized rating service. Generally, there is less readily available, reliable information about most Bank Loans than is the case for many other types of securities. Although a Bank Loan may be senior to equity and other debt securities in a borrower's capital structure, such obligations may be structurally subordinated to obligations of the borrower's subsidiaries.
 
2. Derivative Transactions

Disciplined Opportunity, Event Driven and Market Neutral utilized derivative instruments during the nine months ended September 30, 2015.
 
Disciplined Opportunity – Disciplined Opportunity uses long options to create broad market exposure while utilizing put options and short strategies to enhance market returns and reduce market losses. Specifically, the Fund uses FLEX options, whose customized exercise prices and expiration dates, allow the Fund to more precisely implement its investment strategy than through what could be achieved through the use of standardized option contracts.
 
Event Driven — Event Driven uses credit defaults swaps, options, and currency forward contracts to implement its strategy of achieving capital appreciation in securities whose prices are or will be impacted by a corporate event. The credit default swaps used during the period were for hedging purposes, while the currency forward contracts were used to hedge against any potential foreign exchange fluctuation when the portfolio invests in foreign securities. The portfolio uses purchased options in order to provide protection against adverse price effects from anticipated changes in prevailing prices of securities. In addition, the portfolio uses written options to earn premium income and to assure a definite price for a security that the portfolio has considered selling.
 
Market Neutral - Market Neutral uses options to implement its strategy of achieving capital appreciation. During the period, the Portfolio used written options to earn premium income and to assure a definite price for a security that the Portfolio has considered selling.
 
The use of derivatives presents risks different from, and possibly greater than, the risks associated with investing directly in traditional securities. The use of derivatives can lead to losses because of adverse movements in the price or value of the underlying asset, index or rate, which may be magnified by certain features of the derivatives. These risks are heightened when derivatives are used to enhance return or as a substitute for a position or security, rather than solely to hedge the risk of a position or security held by an account. The success of derivatives strategies will also be affected by the advisor's or sub-advisor's ability to assess and predict the impact of market or economic developments on the underlying asset, index or rate and the derivative itself, without the benefit of observing the performance of the derivative under all possible market conditions.
 
The following are descriptions of each type of derivatives used during the period:

 
 

 
 
Hatteras Alternative Mutual Funds Trust
Notes to Schedule of Investments

Credit Default Swaps
A credit default swap (CDS) is a financial contract between two parties, where the seller of the CDS will compensate the buyer in the event of a loan default or other credit event. The buyer of the CDS makes a series of payments (the CDS "fee" or "spread") to the seller and, in exchange, receives a payoff if the loan defaults.
 
Credit default swaps have two primary risks: counterparty risk and liquidity risk. Counterparty risk is the risk that the other party to the transaction will not honor its contractual obligation. Liquidity risk is the risk that buyers and sellers may become scarcer in periods of market volatility, making it difficult to close the position.
 
Options
Call options give the owner of the option the right, but not the obligation, to buy a stock at a specific price (also called the strike price) over a given period of time. Put options give the owner the right, but not the obligation, to sell a stock at a specific price over a given period of time. A purchaser (holder) of an option pays a non-refundable premium to the seller (writer) of an option to obtain the right to buy/sell a specified amount of a security at a fixed price (the exercise price) during a specified period (exercise period). Conversely, the seller (writer) of an option, upon payment by the holder of the premium, has the obligation to sell/buy the security from the holder of the option at the exercise price during the exercise period. When an option is exercised, the premium originally received decreases the cost basis of the underlying security (or increases the proceeds on the security sold short) and the portfolios realize a gain or loss from the sale of the security (or closing of the short sale).
 
Although option techniques can increase investment return, they can also involve a relatively higher level of risk. The writing (selling) of uncovered options involves a theoretically unlimited risk of a price increase or decline, as the case may be, in the underlying security. The expiration of unexercised long option positions effectively results in loss of the entire cost or premium paid for the option. Option premium costs, as well as the cost of covering options written by the portfolios, can reduce or eliminate position profits or create losses as well.
 
With options, there is minimal counterparty credit risk to the portfolios since options are exchange traded and the exchange's clearinghouse, as counterparty to all exchange traded options, guarantees the options against defaults.
 
FLEX Options are customized option contracts available through the CBOE that are guaranteed for settlement by The Options Clearing Corporation ("OCC" or the "Clearinghouse"). FLEX Options provide investors with the ability to customize exercise prices and expiration dates, while achieving price discovery in competitive, transparent auctions markets and avoiding the counterparty exposure of over-the-counter ("OTC") options positions. The Disciplined Opportunity Fund bears the risk that the Clearinghouse will be unable or unwilling to perform its obligations under the FLEX Options contracts. Additionally, FLEX Options may be illiquid, and in such cases, the Disciplined Opportunity Fund may have difficulty closing out certain FLEX Options positions at desired times and prices.
 
Forwards
Similar to a futures contract, a forward contract specifies the exchange of goods (generally a pre-determined amount of a foreign currency) for a specified price at a specified future date. However, forward contracts are not standardized nor traded on an exchange. Therefore, forward contracts are subject to counterparty risk, or the risk that the other party to the transaction will not honor its contractual obligation.
 
In addition, as the principals who deal in the forward markets are not required to continue to make markets in the currencies or commodities they trade these markets can experience periods of illiquidity, sometimes of significant duration. Disruptions can occur in any currency market traded by a portfolio due to unusually high trading volume, political intervention or other factors. The imposition of controls by governmental authorities might also limit such forward trading, to the possible detriment of a portfolio. Market illiquidity or disruption could result in significant losses.
 
Various inputs are used in determining the value of the Funds' investments. A summary of the inputs used to value Event Driven and Market Neutral’s net assets as of September 30, 2015 is located in a table following their Schedule of Investments in these financial statements. The inputs or methodology used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities.

Valuation adjustments may be applied to certain common and preferred stocks that are solely traded on a foreign exchange to account for the market movement between the close of the foreign market and the close of the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”). These securities are generally valued using pricing service providers that consider the correlation of the trading patterns of the foreign securities to the intraday trading in the U.S. markets for investments. Securities using these valuation adjustments are categorized as Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy. As of September 30, 2015, Event Driven had securities with a market value of $28,578,583, that represents 4.9% of Event Driven’s net assets that were fair valued using these valuation adjustments.
 
● 
Level 1 — Quoted prices in active markets for identical securities.

● 
Level 2 — Other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.)

● 
Level 3 — Significant unobservable inputs (including the Fund’s own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments)

5. Subsequent Events

On November 9, 2015, it was announced that certain principals of the Investment Advisor (the “Company”) had entered into an agreement to purchase the Company from RCS Capital Corporation.  When completed, the purchase will result in a change in control of the Investment Advisor and, therefore, constitute an "assignment" within the meaning of i) the 1940 Act of the existing Advisory Agreement between the Investment Advisor and the HAMF Trust, and ii) for the Hatteras Disciplined Opportunities Fund, the existing Sub-Advisory Agreement among the Advisor, Beacon Trust and the Fund.  The purchase is expected to be consummated in the first quarter of 2016.

The UFT has performed an analysis of all existing investments to determine the significance and character of all inputs to their fair value determination.
Various inputs are used in determining the value of the Portfolio's investments. These inputs are summarized in the three broad levels listed below:
 
Level 1 - Quoted prices in active markets for identical securities.
Level 2 - Other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.)
Level 3 - Significant unobservable inputs (including the Portfolio's own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments). In addition
to the fair-valued securities, the other securities designated as level 3 included securities where prices are obtained from a broker quote in an illiquid market.
 
The following is a summary of the inputs used to value the Portfolio's net assets as of September 30, 2015 (unaudited):

The UFT has performed an analysis of all existing investments to determine the significance and character of all inputs to their fair value determination.
Various inputs are used in determining the value of the Portfolio's investments. These inputs are summarized in the three broad levels listed below:
                 
Level 1 - Quoted prices in active markets for identical securities.
             
Level 2 - Other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.)
Level 3 - Significant unobservable inputs (including the Portfolio's own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments). In addition
to the fair-valued securities, the other securities designated as level 3 included securities where prices are obtained from a broker quote in an illiquid market.
                 
The following is a summary of the inputs used to value the Portfolio's net assets as of September 30, 2015 (Unaudited):

RELATIVE VALUE - LONG/SHORT DEBT
 
The UFT has performed an analysis of all existing investments to determine the significance and character of all inputs to their fair value determination.
Various inputs are used in determining the value of the Portfolio's investments. These inputs are summarized in the three broad levels listed below:
 
Level 1 - Quoted prices in active markets for identical securities.
Level 2 - Other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.)
Level 3 - Significant unobservable inputs (including the Portfolio's own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments). In addition
to the fair-valued securities, the other securities designated as level 3 included securities where prices are obtained from a broker quote in an illiquid market.
 
The following is a summary of the inputs used to value the Portfolio's net assets as of September 30, 2015 (Unaudited):

The significant unobservable inputs used in the fair value measurement of the Portfolio’s rights are the likelihood that cash flows or shares will be received in the future. Significant increases in the probability of default for these securities would result in a lower fair value measurement. The significant unobservable inputs used in the fair value measurement of the Portfolio’s common and preferred stock are generally the financial results of privately held entities. If the financial condition of these companies was to deteriorate, or if market comparables were to fall, the value of common stock in private companies held by the Trust would be lower.
 
The standard inputs typically considered by third party pricing vendors and broker-dealers when generating broker quotes may include reported trade data, broker-dealer price quotations, and information obtained from market participants.
 
The Trust’s valuation procedures have been adopted by the Trust’s Board of Trustees, which has established a Valuation Committee to oversee the implementation of these procedures. The valuation procedures are implemented by the Advisor and the Portfolio’s third party administrator, which report to the Valuation Committee. For third-party information, the Advisor monitors and reviews the methodologies of the various pricing services employed by the Trust. The Advisor develops valuation techniques for shares of private companies held by the Trust, which include discounted cash flow methods and market comparables.

In connection with transactions in reverse repurchase agreements, the Portfolio’s custodian maintains a segregated account containing securities from its portfolio having a value not less than the repurchase price (including accrued interest). Reverse repurchase agreements involve the risk that the market value of the securities retained in lieu of sale by the Portfolio may decline below the price of the securities the Portfolio has sold but is obligated to repurchase. In the event the buyer of securities under a reverse repurchase agreement files for bankruptcy or becomes insolvent, such buyer or its trustee or receiver may receive an extension of time to determine whether to enforce the Portfolio’s obligation to repurchase the securities, and the Portfolio’s use of the proceeds of the reverse repurchase agreement may effectively be restricted pending such decision. Also, the Portfolio would bear the risk of loss to the extent that the proceeds of the reverse repurchase agreement are less than the value of the securities subject to such agreements.

1. Security Valuation

Investments in the Long/Short Equity, Managed Futures Strategies and Relative Value – Long/Short Debt Portfolios (individually a “Portfolio,” and collectively the “Portfolios”) of the Underlying Funds Trust (“UFT”) are valued in the following manner:

Exchange-traded and over-the-counter securities are valued at the closing price of the applicable exchange on the day the valuation is made. Listed securities and put and call options for which no sale was reported on a particular day and securities traded over-the-counter are valued at the mean between the last bid and ask prices. Fixed income securities (other than obligations having a maturity of 60 days or less) are valued on the basis of values obtained from pricing services or from brokers, which take into account appropriate factors such as institutional sized trading in similar groups of securities, yield, quality, coupon rate, maturity, type of issue, trading characteristics and other market data. Fixed income securities purchased with remaining maturities of 60 days or less are valued at amortized cost, which approximates fair value.

Options are valued daily at the last reported sale price at the close of the exchange on which the security is primarily traded. If no sales are reported for exchange-traded options, or the options are not exchange-traded, then they are valued at the mean of the most recent quoted bid and asked prices. Futures are valued at the last reported sale price on the exchange on which they are traded or at the mean of the last bid and asked prices. Foreign securities are valued in their local currencies as of the close of the primary exchange or as of the close of the domestic markets, whichever is earlier. Foreign securities are then converted into U.S. dollars using the applicable currency exchange rates as of the close of the domestic markets.
 
Securities and other assets for which market quotations are not readily available (including restricted securities) will be valued in good faith at fair value under the supervision of the Board. In determining the fair value of a security, the Advisor and the Board shall take into account the relevant factors and surrounding circumstances, which may include: (i) the nature and pricing history (if any) of the security; (ii) whether any dealer quotations for the security are available; (iii) possible valuation methodologies that could be used to determine the fair value of the security; (iv) the recommendation of the portfolio manager of the Portfolios with respect to the valuation of the security; (v) whether the same or similar securities are held by other funds managed by the Advisor or other funds and the method used to price the security in those funds; (vi) the extent to which the fair value to be determined for the security will result from the use of data or formula produced by third parties independent of the Advisor; and (vii) the liquidity or illiquidity of the market for the security. When a furnished price is significantly different from the previous day's price, the Advisor will review the price to determine if it is appropriate. When prices are not readily available, or are determined to not reflect fair value, such as when the value of a security has been significantly affected by events after the close of the exchange or market on which the security is principally traded, but before the Portfolios calculate their net asset value, the Portfolios may value their securities or fair value as determined in accordance with procedures approved by the Board of Trustees. The financial statements may include adjustments made subsequent to September 30, 2015 related to subsequent valuation information obtained. There were no such adjustments made to the value of investments as of September 30, 2015.
 
Various inputs are used in determining the value of the Portfolios' investments. A summary of the inputs used to value the Portfolio's net assets as of September 30, 2015 is located in a table following each Portfolio's Schedule of Investments in these financial statements. The inputs or methodology used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities.

Valuation adjustments may be applied to certain common and preferred stocks that are solely traded on a foreign exchange to account for the market movement between the close of the foreign market and the close of the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”). These securities are generally valued using pricing service providers that consider the correlation of the trading patterns of the foreign securities to the intraday trading in the U.S. markets for investments. Securities using these valuation adjustments are categorized as Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy. As of September 30, 2015, Long/Short Equity, Managed Futures Strategies, and Relative Value – Long/Short Debt Portfolios had securities with market values of $28,578,583, $0, and $267,985, that represents 11.4%, 0.0%, and 0.1% of each Portfolio’s net assets, respectively, that were fair valued using these valuation adjustments.
 
 
 

 
 
Underlying Funds Trust
Notes to Schedule of Investments
September 30, 2015 (Unaudited)
 
Security Transactions, Investment Income and Realized Gain and Loss -- Investment and shareholder transactions in the Portfolios are recorded on trade date. Realized gains and losses on the sale of investments are calculated on the identified cost basis. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date and interest income is recognized on an accrual basis. All premiums and discounts, including original issue discounts, are amortized/accreted using the interest method. Capital gain distributions received are recorded as capital gains.
 
Repurchase Agreements -- The Portfolios may enter into repurchase agreements with a member bank of the Federal Reserve System or recognized securities dealer. Each repurchase agreement is recorded at cost, which approximates value. The Portfolios will receive, as collateral; securities whose market value, including accrued interest, at all times will be at least equal to 100% of the amount invested by the Portfolios in each repurchase agreement. If the seller defaults and the value of the collateral declines, realization of the collateral by the Portfolios may be delayed or limited.

Reverse Repurchase Agreements — The Portfolios may enter into reverse repurchase agreements. In a reverse repurchase agreement, the Portfolio sells to a financial institution a security that it holds with an agreement to repurchase the same security at an agreed-upon price and date. A reverse repurchase agreement involves the risk that the market value of the security may decline below the repurchase price of the security. The Portfolio will segregate assets determined to be liquid by the Advisor or otherwise cover its obligations under reverse repurchase agreements.
 
Foreign Currency Translations and Transactions -- The Portfolios may engage in foreign currency transactions. Foreign currency transactions are translated into U.S. dollars on the following basis: (i) market value of investment securities, assets and liabilities at the daily rates of exchange, and (ii) purchases and sales of investment securities, dividend and interest income and certain expenses at the rates of exchange prevailing on the respective dates of such transactions. For financial reporting purposes, the Portfolios do not isolate changes in the exchange rate of investment securities from the fluctuations arising from changes in the market prices of securities for unrealized gains and losses. However, for federal income tax purposes, the Portfolios do isolate and treat as ordinary income the effect of changes in foreign exchange rates on realized gain or loss from the sale of investment securities and payables and receivables arising from trade-date and settlement-date differences.
 
The Portfolios may enter into forward currency exchange contracts obligating a Portfolio to deliver and receive a currency at a specified future date. The Portfolios are subject to foreign currency exchange rate risk in the normal course of pursuing its investment objectives. The Portfolios use forward currency exchange contracts to gain exposure to, and to hedge against changes in the value of foreign currencies. With forward currency exchange contracts, there is minimal counter-party credit risk to the Portfolio since forward currency exchange contracts are exchange traded and the exchange's clearinghouse, as counterparty to all exchange traded forward currency exchange contracts, guarantees the forward currency exchange contracts against default. Unrealized appreciation or depreciation is recorded daily as the difference between the contract exchange rate and the closing forward rate applied to the face amount of the contract. A realized gain or loss is recorded at the time the forward contract is closed.
 
Convertible Securities -- The Portfolios may invest in convertible securities. A convertible security is a fixed-income security (a debt instrument or a preferred stock), which may be converted at a stated price within a specified period of time into a certain quantity of the common stock of the same or a different issuer. Convertible securities are senior to common stocks in an issuer's capital structure, but are usually subordinated to similar non-convertible securities. While providing a fixed income stream (generally higher in yield than the income derivable from common stock but lower than that afforded by a similar nonconvertible security), a convertible security also gives an investor the opportunity, through its conversion feature, to participate in the capital appreciation of the issuing company depending upon a market price advance in the convertible security's underlying common stock.
 
 
 

 
 
Underlying Funds Trust
Notes to Schedule of Investments
September 30, 2015 (Unaudited)

Warrants -- The Portfolios may invest a portion of their assets in warrants. A warrant gives the holder a right to purchase at any time during a specified period a predetermined number of shares of common stock at a fixed price. Unlike convertible debt securities or preferred stock, warrants do not pay a fixed coupon or dividend. Investments in warrants involve certain risks, including the possible lack of a liquid market for resale of the warrants, potential price fluctuations as a result of speculation or other factors, and failure of the price of the underlying security to reach or have reasonable prospects of reaching a level at which the warrant can be prudently exercised (in which event the warrant may expire without being exercised, resulting in a loss of the Portfolios' entire investment therein).
 
Short Sales -- The Portfolios may engage in short sale transactions. Short sales are transactions in which a Portfolio sells a security it does not own in anticipation of a decline in the market value of that security. This typically is done for economic hedging purposes to protect the Portfolios under circumstances when the stock price of a portfolio holding is deteriorating. For financial statement purposes, an amount equal to the required amount of collateral to be segregated for short positions is included in the Statements of Assets and Liabilities as an asset. The amount of the securities sold short, shown as a liability, subsequently is marked-to-market to reflect the current value of the short position. Subsequent fluctuations in the market prices of securities sold, but not yet purchased, may require purchasing the securities at prices that could differ from the amount reflected in the Statements of Assets and Liabilities. The Portfolios are liable for any dividends or interest payable on securities while those securities are in a short position. Dividends received on short positions are categorized as dividend expense in the Statement of Operations. As collateral for its short positions, the Portfolios are required to maintain segregated assets consisting of cash, cash equivalents, or liquid securities. The amount of segregated assets is required to be adjusted daily to reflect changes in the market value of the securities sold short. A Portfolio will incur a loss as a result of the short sale if the price of the security sold short increases between the date of the short sale and the date on which the Portfolio replaces the borrowed security. A Portfolio will realize a gain if the security sold short declines in price between those dates. The potential loss of investing in a short position is unlimited.

Restricted Securities – The Portfolios are permitted to invest in securities that are subject to legal or contractual restrictions on resale ("restricted securities"). Restricted securities may be resold in transactions that are exempt from registration under Federal securities laws or if the securities are publically registered. Restricted securities may be illiquid, whereby the prompt sale of these securities at their stated value may be difficult. Information regarding restricted securities held by each Portfolio is included in the Schedule of Investments of the UFT.
 
To Be Announced (“TBA”) Transactions – The Portfolios may purchase securities on a forward commitment or on a 'To Be Announced" basis. The Portfolios record TBA transactions on the trade date and segregate with the custodian qualifying assets that have sufficient value to make payment for the securities purchased. TBA securities are marked-to-market daily and the Portfolio begins earning interest on the settlement date. Losses may arise due to changes in the market value of the underlying securities or if the counterparty does not perform under the contract. During the nine months ended September 30, 2015, the Portfolios did not engage in any TBA transactions.
 
Bank Loans – The Portfolios may purchase senior secured floating rate loans or senior secured floating rate debt securities (collectively "Bank Loans"). Bank Loans are valued using an evaluated quote provided by an independent pricing service. Evaluated quotes provided by the pricing service may reflect appropriate factors such as ratings, tranche type, industry, company performance, spread, individual trading characteristics, institution-size trading in similar groups of securities and other market data.

Investments in Bank Loans are subject to interest rate risk and credit risk. Interest rate risk refers to fluctuations in the value of a loan resulting from changes in the general level of interest rates. Credit risk refers to the possibility that the borrower of a loan will be unable and/or unwilling to make timely interest payments and/or repay the principal on its obligation. Default in the payment of interest or principal on a loan will result in a reduction in the value of the loan and consequently a reduction in the value of a Portfolio's investments and a potential decrease in the NAV of the Portfolio. Some of the Bank Loans in which the Portfolios will invest may be secured by specific collateral, however there can be no assurance that such collateral would satisfy the borrower's obligation in the event of non-payment of scheduled interest or principal or that such collateral could be readily liquidated. In the event of the bankruptcy of a borrower, a Portfolio's access to the collateral may be limited by bankruptcy or other insolvency loans and, therefore, the Portfolio could experience delays or limitations with respect to its ability to realize the benefits of the collateral securing a Bank Loan.
 
 
 

 
 
Underlying Funds Trust
Notes to Schedule of Investments
September 30, 2015 (Unaudited)

There is no organized exchange on which Bank Loans are traded and reliable market quotations may not be readily available. Therefore, elements of judgment may play a greater role in valuation of Bank Loans than for securities with a more developed secondary market and the Portfolios may not realize full value in the event of the need to sell a Bank Loan. To the extent that a secondary market does exist for certain loans, the market may be subject to volatility, irregular trading activity, wide bid/ask spreads, decreased liquidity and extended trade settlement periods. Some Bank Loans are subject to the risk that a court, pursuant to fraudulent conveyance or other similar laws, could subordinate the Bank Loans to presently existing or future indebtedness of the borrower or take other action detrimental to lenders, including the Portfolios, such as invalidation of the Bank Loans or causing interest previously paid to be refunded to the borrower. Investments in Bank Loans also are subject to the risk of changes in legislation or state or federal regulations. If such legislation or regulations impose additional requirements or restrictions on the ability of financial institutions to make loans, the availability of Bank Loans for investment by the Portfolios may be adversely affected. Many Bank Loans are not registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission or any state securities commission and often are not rated by any nationally recognized rating service. Generally, there is less readily available, reliable information about most Bank Loans than is the case for many other types of securities. Although a Bank Loan may be senior to equity and other debt securities in a borrower's capital structure, such obligations may be structurally subordinated to obligations of the borrower's subsidiaries.

Consolidation of Subsidiary – The financial statements of Managed Futures Strategies include the accounts of the Subsidiary. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. Managed Futures may invest up to 25% of its total assets in its Subsidiary. The Subsidiary acts as an investment vehicle in order to invest in commodity-linked derivative instruments consistent with the Managed Futures' investment objectives and policies.

The Subsidiary is an exempted Cayman investment company and as such is not subject to Cayman Islands taxes at the present time. For U.S. income tax purposes, the Subsidiary is a Controlled Foreign Corporation ("CFC") not subject to U.S. income taxes. As a wholly-owned CFC, however, the Subsidiary's net income and capital gains, if any, will be included each year in Managed Futures' investment company taxable income.

2. Derivative Transactions

The Portfolios utilized derivative instruments during the nine months ended September 30, 2015. The Portfolios' use of derivatives included credit defaults swaps, interest rate swaps, total return swaps, futures, options, and currency forward contracts. The Portfolios utilize derivatives for risk management, hedging activities, risk-taking, and speculative purposes.

Long/Short Equity — The Long/Short Equity Portfolio uses options to implement its strategy of achieving returns moderately correlated to equity markets with a lower level of volatility. The Portfolio uses purchased options in order to provide protection against adverse price effects from anticipated changes in prevailing prices of securities. In addition, the Portfolio uses written options to earn premium income and to assure a definite price for a security that the Portfolio has considered selling.

Managed Futures Strategies — As of March 26, 2014, the Managed Futures Portfolio uses total return swaps, instead of investing directly in a portfolio consisting of futures contracts, to achieve its investment objective of positive returns in rising and falling equity markets with lower levels of volatility.
 
 
 

 
 
Underlying Funds Trust
Notes to Schedule of Investments
September 30, 2015 (Unaudited)
 
Relative Value – Long/Short Debt – The Relative Value — Long/Short Debt Portfolio uses credit default swaps, interest rate swaps, futures, options, and currency forward contracts to implement its strategy of achieving total return through current income, capital preservation, and capital appreciation. The credit default swaps are used as a more effective, and liquid, method to take risk positions, rather than investing in the cash markets. Currency forward contacts were used to hedge against any potential foreign exchange fluctuation when the Portfolio invests in foreign securities. The Portfolio used futures for hedging purposes and to maintain appropriate levels of duration and convexity in the strategies fixed income portfolios. The Portfolio uses long options to take speculative positions, while also writing options to provide an additional source of revenue to the Portfolio.

The use of derivatives presents risks different from, and possibly greater than, the risks associated with investing directly in traditional securities. The use of derivatives can lead to losses because of adverse movements in the price or value of the underlying asset, index or rate, which may be magnified by certain features of the derivatives. These risks are heightened when derivatives are used to enhance return or as a substitute for a position or security, rather than solely to hedge the risk of a position or security held by an account. The success of derivatives strategies will also be affected by the Advisor's or Sub-Advisor's ability to assess and predict the impact of market or economic developments on the underlying asset, index or rate and the derivative itself, without the benefit of observing the performance of the derivative under all possible market conditions.

The following are descriptions of each type of derivative used during the period in the Portfolios:

Credit Default Swaps
 
A credit default swap (CDS) is a financial contract between two parties, where the seller of the CDS will compensate the buyer in the event of a loan default or other credit event. The buyer of the CDS makes a series of payments (the CDS "fee" or "spread") to the seller and, in exchange, receives a payoff if the loan defaults.
 
Credit default swaps have two primary risks: counterparty risk and liquidity risk. Counterparty risk is the risk that the other party to the transaction will not honor its contractual obligation. Liquidity risk is the risk that buyers and sellers may become scarcer in periods of market volatility, making it difficult to close the position.
 
Total Return Swaps
 
A total return swap agreement (TRS) is a financial contract between two parties, where one party makes payments based on a set rate, either fixed or variable, while the other party makes payments based on the return of an underlying asset, which includes both the income it generates and any capital gains. In total return swaps, the underlying asset, referred to as the reference asset, is usually an equity index, loans, or bonds. This is owned by the party receiving the set rate payment.
 
Similar to CDS, total return swaps involve counterparty and liquidity risk.
 
Interest Rate Swaps
An interest rate swap is a financial contract between two parties, where one party agrees to make regular payments equal to a floating interest rate times a "notional principal amount," in return for payments equal to a fixed rate times the same notional amount, for a specified period of time. The exchange commitment can involve payments to be made in the same currency or in different currencies.

Under the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act Title VII ("Dodd-Frank"), certain swap instruments are required to be centrally cleared. Currently, the Portfolios centrally clear Interest Rate Swaps and certain CDS. Through central clearing, counterparty and liquidity risk are mitigated through the use of swap execution facilities and registered swap clearinghouses.

Futures
 
A futures contract is a standardized contract between two parties to buy or sell a specified asset of standardized quantity and quality for a price agreed upon today (the futures price or strike price) with delivery and payment occurring at a specified future date, the delivery date. The contracts are bought and sold on a futures exchange, which acts as an intermediary between the two parties. In many cases, the underlying asset to a futures contract may be any financial instrument (also including currency, bonds, and stocks); they can be also based on intangible assets or referenced items, such as stock indexes and interest rates.
 
Futures contracts are subject to equity price risk, interest rate risk, and foreign currency exchange rate risk. In addition, unlike option contracts, where the buyer of the option can lose no more than the cost of the premium, both the buyer and the seller of a futures contract face potentially unlimited losses. The futures contract is a legally binding agreement to buy or sell the underlying index at the agreed price, no matter what the level of the index is at maturity of the contract.
 
Futures have minimal counterparty credit risk to the Portfolios since futures are exchange traded and the exchange's clearinghouse serves as the counterparty to all exchange traded futures, thereby guaranteeing the buyer or seller against default by the counterparty.
 
Options
 
Call options give the owner the option to buy a stock at a specific price (also called the strike price) over a given period of time. Put options give the owner the right, but not the obligation, to sell a stock at a specific price over a given period of time. A purchaser (holder) of an option pays a non-refundable premium to the seller (writer) of an option to obtain the right to buy/sell a specified amount of a security at a fixed price (the exercise price) during a specified period (exercise period). Conversely, the seller (writer) of an option, upon payment by the holder of the premium, has the obligation to sell/buy the security from the holder of the option at the exercise price during the exercise period. When an option is exercised, the premium originally received decreases the cost basis of the underlying security (or increases the proceeds on the security sold short) and the Portfolios realize a gain or loss from the sale of the security (or closing of the short sale).
 
Although option techniques can increase investment return, they can also involve a relatively higher level of risk. The writing (selling) of uncovered options involves a theoretically unlimited risk of a price increase or decline, as the case may be, in the underlying security. The expiration of unexercised long option positions effectively results in loss of the entire cost or premium paid for the option. Option premium costs, as well as the cost of covering options written by the Portfolios, can reduce or eliminate position profits or create losses as well.
 
With options, there is minimal counterparty credit risk to the Portfolios since options are exchange traded and the exchange's clearinghouse, as counterparty to all exchange traded options, guarantees the options against default.
