1919 Financial Services Fund
Letter to Shareholders
(unaudited)

Dear Shareholder,

Investors confronted dramatic changes to monetary policy, growth expectations, and discount rates during 2022. Global central banks adjusted overnight lending rates at a pace not seen since the 1980s — with the US Federal Reserve increasing its target-funding rate seven times in nine months or +425 bps during 2022. The aggressive monetary policy abruptly followed an equally unprecedented period of "war-time finance," that is zero interest rates and a dramatic increase in the money supply, which helped fund the stimulus needed to combat the pandemic's economic hardships on consumers and businesses. The impacts of the rising cost of money and a reduction in money supply will remain in place during 2023, as inflation, Fed rate hikes, and recession concerns continue to dominate the headlines and investor attention.

While the US real GDP growth slowed to +2.1% in 2022 from the +5.9% in 2021, the unemployment rate actually declined further to 3.5% from 3.9% at the end 2021. Strong employment in the face of slowing growth is a great example of how the markets and central banks underestimated the stickiness of the forces that have kept inflation readings high. Thus, the central banks had to raise the "cost of money" faster than ever, and the rate of change largely drove the stock price declines in 2022. The rise in interest rates reduced the valuation of most assets, including stocks and bonds. The bellwether 10-year US Treasury began the year yielding 1.63%, then rose to a peak of 4.25%, before ending the year at 3.83%. In addition, six-month LIBOR increased to 5.14% at year end after starting at 0.34%.

For the full year ending December 31, 2022, the 1919 Financial Services Fund I Shares returned -13.71%. The Fund's unmanaged benchmarks, the S&P 500 Index returned -18.11% and the S&P 500 Financial Index returned -10.53%.

How did we respond to these changing market conditions?

During the year, the fund added a few new positions and opportunistically added to a number of existing holdings in the regional and large cap banks, insurance, capital markets, and fin-tech sub-sectors. The fund exited out of several positions that were more fully valued and better positioned the portfolio

for a continued higher interest rate environment and a hard insurance pricing market.

What were the leading contributors to performance?

Our selections within the insurance industry contributed the most to performance. The top contributors to were Chubb Limited, Heritage Financial Corp., Banner Corp., Stock Yards Bancorp Inc. and American Financial Group Inc. These companies benefitted from strong underlying growth and recovery from depressed 2021 revenues.

What were the leading detractors to performance?

The largest detractors to performance were SVB Financial Group, Bank of America Corp., Western Alliance Bancorp, First Republic Bank and First Foundation Inc. These companies faced sub-optimal capital allocation and greater than average deposit and funding cost increases.

Thank you for your investment in 1919 Financial Services Fund. As always, we appreciate that you have chosen us to manage your assets and we remain focused on achieving the Fund's investment goals.

Sincerely,

Charles C. King, CFA

Mutual fund investing involves risk. Principal loss is possible. The Fund may invest in small and medium-capitalization companies which tend to have limited liquidity and greater price volatility than larger-capitalization companies. The Fund may invest in foreign and emerging market securities which will involve greater volatility and political, economic and currency risks and differences in accounting methods. The risks are particularly significant for funds that invest in emerging markets. The Fund may make short sales of securities, which involves the risk that losses may exceed the original amount invested.

Fund performance (unaudited)

Value of $10,000 Investment

This chart illustrates the performance of a hypothetical $10,000 investment in the Fund's Class A shares over ten years, and assumes the deduction of the maximum initial sales charge of 5.75% at the time of investment and the reinvestment of dividends and capital gains, but does not reflect the effect of any other applicable sales charge or redemption fees. This chart does not imply any future performance. The performance of the Fund's other classes may be greater or less than the Class A shares' performance indicated on this chart, depending on whether greater or lesser sales charges and fees were incurred by shareholders investing in the other classes.

*  Returns over one year are annualized.

†  Class A Shares have a maximum initial sales charge of 5.75% and Class C Shares have a contingent deferred sales charge (CDSC) of 1.00% for shares redeemed within one year of purchase.

As of the Fund's current prospectus dated April 30, 2022, the total annual operating expense ratios for Class A, Class C and Class I were 1.36%, 2.07% and 1.09% respectively. Actual expenses may be higher. For example, expenses may be higher than those shown if average net assets decrease. Net assets are more likely to decrease, and Fund expense ratios are more likely to increase when markets are volatile.

All figures represent past performance and are not a guarantee of future results. Investment return and principal value of an investment will fluctuate so that an investor's shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. Fund returns assume the reinvestment of all distributions, at net asset value and the deduction of all Fund expenses. Total returns do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on Fund distributions or the redemption of Fund shares. Performance figures may reflect fee waivers and/or expense reimbursements. In the absence of fee waivers and/or expense reimbursements, the total return would have been lower. Current performance of the Fund may be lower or higher than the performance quoted. Performance data current to the most recent month end may be obtained by calling 1-844-828-1919.

(i)  The S&P 500 Index is an unmanaged index of 500 stocks and is generally representative of the performance of larger companies in the U.S.

(ii)  The S&P 500 Financials Index is a capitalization-weighted index representing nine financial groups and fifty-three financial companies, calculated monthly with dividends reinvested at month-end.

The Indices are unmanaged and are not subject to the same management and trading expenses as a mutual fund. Please note that an investor cannot invest directly in an index.

Fund expenses (unaudited)

Example

As a shareholder of the Fund, you may incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including front-end and back-end sales charges (loads) on purchase payments; and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees; service and/or distribution (12b-1) fees; and other Fund expenses. This example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the 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 on July 1, 2022 and held for the six months ended December 31, 2022.

Actual expenses

The table below titled "Based on Actual Total Return" provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information provided in this table, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. To estimate the expenses you paid on your account, divide your ending account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 ending account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number under the heading entitled "Expenses Paid During the Period".

Hypothetical example for comparison purposes

The table below titled "Based on Hypothetical Total Return" provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5.00% 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 the information provided in this table to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Fund and other funds. To do so, compare the 5.00% hypothetical example relating to the Fund with the 5.00% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds.

Please note that the expenses shown in the table below are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transactional costs. Therefore, the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transaction costs were included, your costs would have been higher.

Total return is not annualized, as it may not be representative of the total return for the year. Performance figures may reflect fee waivers and/or expense reimbursements. In the absence of fee waivers and/or expense reimbursements, the total return would have been lower.

3  Expenses (net of fee waivers and/or expense reimbursements) are equal to each class' annualized expense ratio multiplied by the average account value over the period, multiplied by the number of days in the most recent fiscal half-year (184), then divided by 365.

1919 Maryland Tax-Free Income Fund
Letter to Shareholders
(unaudited)

Dear Shareholder,

Calendar year 2022 was a historically difficult one for the municipal bond market. The Bloomberg Municipal Bond Index, the 1919 Maryland Tax-Free Income Fund's primary benchmark, lost a record 8.53% for the year, as interest rates rose sharply from the record low levels seen in 2021. Supply chains struggled to keep up with a surge in pent-up demand from consumers flush with federal stimulus payments as the economy reopened post-pandemic, fueling a surge in inflation to the highest levels in over forty years. The Federal Reserve responded with an aggressive tightening campaign, raising overnight yields from the near-zero emergency level set at the height of the pandemic to 4.5% as of year-end in hopes of slowing the economy enough to bring inflation readings back down to their 2% target. In spite of the Fed's efforts, the tight labor market underpinned heady wage gains and an increase in consumer inflation expectations, keeping inflation stubbornly high. Longer term interest rates spiked accordingly, generating huge losses for all fixed income sectors. As we have communicated for some time, we saw little value in the tax-free market while yields resided at record lows, and structured the portfolio defensively to cushion shareholder principal when yields inevitably rose.

Despite the difficult year, trends in the municipal market actually helped the results from being even worse. While the economy was in disarray during the pandemic shutdown and immediate aftermath, the generous emergency stimulus payments to the states and local governments, as well as hospitals, airports and mass transit systems helped solidify credit quality within the tax-free market. The CARES Act and American Rescue Plan provided billions of dollars in direct fiscal relief to local governments, with much of the funds yet to be fully deployed. In addition to supporting education spending and COVID-related expenditures, these dollars bolstered rainy day funds and reserves, in sharp contrast to the Great Recession of 2008 where rainy day funds were run down and credit quality deteriorated significantly. Specific to Maryland, the Board of Revenue Estimates projects the rainy day fund to be $1.5 billion at the end of the 2022 fiscal year, an upward revision from $1.1 billion from the previous estimate. Ironically,

1919 Funds 2022 Annual Report

high inflation, to the extent it does not cause consumer spending to collapse, is helpful to growing tax revenues, which likewise have come in above estimates. Higher goods prices result in higher sales tax revenues, and the surge in assessed values on real estate generates higher property tax revenues. While real estate and consumer spending are likely to slow in sympathy with higher borrowing costs, municipalities are in excellent position to weather a downshift in economic activity.

In addition to supporting municipal credit quality and the tax-free market in general, stimulus dollars also reduced local governments' borrowing requirements for capital projects, resulting in a huge drop in new issue volume in calendar year 2022. Aggregate municipal new issue volume came in 20.5% lower versus 2021 levels as refunding volume collapsed despite record low borrowing costs. Maryland issuance was down an incredible 40.8% versus last year, which likewise was 8.2% below the 2020 level of issuance. Therefore, this year's supply of new bonds was nearly half the level we saw prior to the pandemic. Although tax-free mutual funds saw persistent outflows for the bulk of the year, demand from coupon and maturity reinvestment still exceeded the amount of new bonds being issued, which helped stem losses in the municipal market compared to what was seen in the Treasury and corporate bond markets. With muni yields now competitive on a risk-adjusted basis to other asset classes following the sharp rise in yields, we expect demand to be somewhat stronger this coming year. We also

expect municipal issuance to pick up moderately despite higher borrowing costs, although probably not to the degree to bring the market back into a healthy balance. Therefore, we expect municipal bonds to remain somewhat rich to taxable bonds as the opportunity set of tax-free securities remains scarce.

Given the more attractive interest rate environment and our expectation that attractively priced bonds will be hard to find early in 2023, we took steps to increase the Fund's duration during the latter part of 2022. Yields on bonds maturing in the 15 to 20-year range approached 4% in the fourth quarter (levels not seen since before the credit crisis in 2008), and we softened our cautious posture to take advantage of an opportunity to augment the Fund's yield. The Fund's duration at year-end now resides at a more neutral 5.5, compared to an extremely defensive 3.22 at the beginning of the reporting period. We accomplished this restructuring by drawing down the Fund's cash balance but continue to have ample liquidity for additional purchases when opportunities arise. A longer duration versus our recent positioning will allow for greater price appreciation on current holdings should interest rates fall in 2023, which we expect as inflation slowly falls in response to the Fed's tighter monetary policy. That being said, we will be mindful of adding risk to the portfolio given the global uncertainties that remain, and only deploy funds when we believe we are adding meaningful incremental return on our investments.

Past performance is not a guarantee of future results.

Opinions expressed herein are as of 12/31/22 and are subject to change at any time, are not a guaranteed and should not be considered investment advice.

Fund holdings and sector allocations are subject to change and are not a recommendation to buy or sell any security. Please refer to the Schedule of Investments for a complete list of Fund holdings.

This report has been prepared for shareholders and may be distributed to others if preceded or accompanied by a current prospectus.

Mutual fund investing involves risk; Principal loss is possible. Bonds are subject to a variety of risks, including interest rate, credit and inflation risks. As interest rates rise, bond prices fall, reducing the value of a fixed-income investment. Municipal securities purchased by the Fund may be adversely affected by changes in the financial condition of municipal issuers and insurers, regulatory and political developments, uncertainties

and public perceptions, and other factors. The Fund is non-diversified, meaning it concentrates its assets in fewer individual holdings than a diversified fund, specifically in the State of Maryland issues. The Fund is susceptible to adverse economic, political, tax, or regulatory changes specific to Maryland, which may magnify other risks and make the Fund more volatile than a municipal bond fund that invests in more than one state. Income from tax-exempt funds may become subject to state and local taxes and a portion of income may be subject to the Federal Alternative minimum tax for certain investors. Please see the Fund's prospectus for a more complete discussion of these and other risks, and the Fund's investment strategies.

Nothing contained in this communication constitutes tax or investment advice.

Investors must consult their tax advisor for advice and information concerning their particular situation.

Bloomberg Municipal Bond Index is an unmanaged index that is considered representative of the broad market for investment grade, tax-exempt bonds with a maturity of at least one year. One cannot invest in an index.

Investment grade is a rating that indicates that a municipal or corporate bond has a relatively low risk of default.

Value of $10,000 Investment

This chart illustrates the performance of a hypothetical $10,000 investment in the Fund's Class A shares over ten years, and assumes the deduction of the maximum initial sales charge of 4.25% at the time of investment and the reinvestment of dividends and capital gains, but does not reflect the effect of any other applicable sales charge or redemption fees. This chart does not imply any future performance. The performance of the Fund's other classes may be greater or less than the Class A shares' performance indicated on this chart, depending on whether greater or lesser sales charges and fees were incurred by shareholders investing in the other classes.

*  Returns over one year are annualized.

†  Class A Shares have a maximum initial sales charge of 4.25% and Class C Shares have a contingent deferred sales charge (CDSC) of 1.00% for shares redeemed within one year of purchase.

As of the Fund's current prospectus dated April 30, 2022, the total gross annual operating expense ratios for Class A, Class C and Class I were 1.08%, 1.61% and 0.94%, respectively. The total net annual operating expense ratios for Class A, Class C and Class I were 0.75%(ii), 1.30%(ii) and 0.60%(ii), respectively. Actual expenses may be higher. For example, expenses may be higher than those shown if average net assets decrease. Net assets are more likely to decrease and Fund expense ratios are more likely to increase when markets are volatile.

All figures represent past performance and are not a guarantee of future results. Investment return and principal value of an investment will fluctuate so that an investor's shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. Fund returns assume the reinvestment of all distributions, at net asset value and the deduction of all Fund expenses. Total returns do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on Fund distributions or the redemption of Fund shares. Performance figures may reflect fee waivers and/or expense reimbursements. In the absence of fee waivers and/or expense reimbursements, the total return would have been lower. Current performance of the Fund may be lower or higher than the performance quoted. Performance data current to the most recent month end may be obtained by calling 1-844-828-1919.

(i)  The Bloomberg Municipal Bond Index is a market value weighted index of investment grade municipal bonds with maturities of one year or more. The Index was previously named the Barclays Municipal Bond Index.

(ii)  The Adviser has contractually agreed to waive fees and reimburse operating expenses through April 30, 2024.

The Indices are unmanaged and are not subject to the same management and trading expenses as a mutual fund. Please note that an investor cannot invest directly in an index.

Fund expenses (unaudited)

Example

As a shareholder of the Fund, you may incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including front-end and back-end sales charges (loads) on purchase payments; and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees; service and/or distribution (12b-1) fees; and other Fund expenses. This example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the 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 on July 1, 2022 and held for the six months ended December 31, 2022.

Actual expenses

The table below titled "Based on Actual Total Return" provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information provided in this table, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. To estimate the expenses you paid on your account, divide your ending account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 ending account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number under the heading entitled "Expenses Paid During the Period".

Hypothetical example for comparison purposes

The table below titled "Based on Hypothetical Total Return" provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5.00% 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 the information provided in this table to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Fund and other funds. To do so, compare the 5.00% hypothetical example relating to the Fund with the 5.00% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds.

Please note that the expenses shown in the table below are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transactional costs. Therefore, the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transaction costs were included, your costs would have been higher.

1  The six months ended December 31, 2022.

2  Assumes the reinvestment of all distributions at net asset value and does not reflect the deduction of the applicable sales charge with respect to Class A shares or the applicable contingent deferred sales charge ("CDSC") with respect to Class C shares. Total return is not annualized, as it may not be representative of the total return for the year. Performance figures may reflect fee waivers and/or expense reimbursements. In the absence of fee waivers and/or expense reimbursements, the total return would have been lower.

3  Expenses (net of fee waivers and/or expense reimbursements) are equal to each class' annualized expense ratio multiplied by the average account value over the period, multiplied by the number of days in the most recent fiscal half-year (184), then divided by 365.

1919 Socially Responsive Balanced Fund
Letter to Shareholders
(unaudited)

Dear Shareholder,

We are pleased to bring you the annual report on the 1919 Socially Responsive Balanced Fund ("the Fund") through December 31, 2022.

Throughout the year, the Fund took a variety of measures to respond to changing market conditions. During the first half of the year we increased exposure to Health Care, Real Estate, and Utilities and decreased exposure to Information Technology, Communication Services, and Consumer Discretionary sectors. During the second half of the year we added to the Materials sectors and decreased exposure to the Information Technology, Industrials, and Consumer Staples sectors.

Throughout the year, we remained overweight in the Health Care, Financials, and Industrials sectors and maintained our underweight positioning in the Energy, Real Estate, and Utilities sectors.

In the fixed-income portion of the Fund, we purchased Treasuries and Corporates including six green or sustainable bonds in the 3-10 year maturity range. Going forward, as the Fed draws closer to the end of the hiking cycle and the economy slows down, we will look to strategically extend the duration of the portfolio in defensive securities.

In the equity portion of the Fund, our stock selection in the Consumer Discretionary and Materials sectors contributed to relative performance in 2022. In terms of sector positioning, our underweighting of Consumer Discretionary and overweighting of Health Care and Industrials sectors also enhanced results. On an individual stock basis, the largest contributors to performance for the year were Eli Lilly & Co., TJX Cos. Inc., Chubb Limited, UnitedHealth Group Inc., and Steel Dynamics Inc.

The leading contributor to performance in the fixed-income portion of the Fund was a duration shorter than the benchmark. On an individual security basis, the largest contributors to return were Target Corp. 4.5% 9/15/32, QUALCOMM Inc. FRN 1/30/23, Goldman Sachs Group Inc. 0.481% 1/27/23, U.S. Treasury 4.125% 11/15/32 and Apple Inc. 2.85% 2/23/23.

In the equity portion of the Fund, our stock selection in the Industrials, Consumer Staples, and Communication Services sectors detracted from relative results for the year. In terms of

1919 Funds 2022 Annual Report
33


1919 Socially Responsive Balanced Fund
Letter to Shareholders
(unaudited) (cont'd)

sector positioning, our underweighting of the Energy and Utilities sectors detracted from performance. On an individual stock basis, the largest detractors from performance were Amazon.com Inc., Apple Inc., Microsoft Corp., NVIDIA Corp., and Meta Platforms Inc.

In the fixed-income portion of the Fund, the leading detractor to performance was our overweight to the 7-10 year part of the curve in the A-rated corporate sector. On an individual security basis, the largest detractors from performance were FNMA 0.875% 8/5/30, Mastercard Inc. 1.9% 3/15/31, U.S. Treasury 1.5% 2/15/30, Autodesk Inc. 2.4% 12/15/31 and U.S. Treasury 2.125% 5/31/26.

Thank you for your investment in the 1919 Socially Responsive Balanced Fund. As always, we appreciate that you have chosen us to manage your assets and we remain focused on achieving the Fund's investment and social goals.

Sincerely,

Past performance is not a guarantee of future results.

Opinions expressed herein are as of 12/31/2022 and are subject to change at any time, are not a guaranteed and should not be considered investment advice.

Fund holdings and sector allocations are subject to change and are not a recommendation to buy or sell any security. Please refer to the Schedule of Investments for a complete list of Fund holdings.

This report has been prepared for shareholders and may be distributed to other if preceded or accompanied by a current prospectus.

Mutual fund investing involves risk. Principal loss is possible. The Fund's social policy may cause it to make or avoid investments for social reasons when it is otherwise disadvantageous to do so. The Fund may invest in foreign and emerging market securities which will involve greater volatility and political, economic and currency risks and differences in

1919 Funds 2022 Annual Report
34


accounting methods. The risks are particularly significant for funds that invest in emerging markets. The Fund may make short sales of securities, which involves the risk that losses may exceed the original amount invested. Fixed income securities involve interest rate, credit, inflation and reinvestment risks; and possible loss of principal. As interest rates rise, the value of fixed income securities falls. The Fund may focus its investments in certain regions or industries, increasing its vulnerability to market volatility. The manager's investment style may become out of favor and/or the manager's selection process may prove incorrect; which may have a negative impact on the Fund's performance.

Value of $10,000 Investment

(Assumes reinvestment of dividends and capital gains)

This chart illustrates the performance of a hypothetical $10,000 investment in the Fund's Class A shares over ten years, and assumes the deduction of the maximum initial sales charge of 5.75% at the time of investment and the reinvestment of dividends and capital gains, but does not reflect the effect of any other applicable sales charge or redemption fees. This chart does not imply any future performance. The performance of the Fund's other classes may be greater or less than the Class A shares' performance indicated on this chart, depending on whether greater or lesser sales charges and fees were incurred by shareholders investing in the other classes.

*  Returns over one year are annualized.

†  Class A Shares have a maximum initial sales charge of 5.75%. Class C Shares have a CDSC of 1.00% for shares redeemed within one year of purchase.

As of the Fund's current prospectus dated April 30, 2022, the total annual operating expense ratios for Class A, Class C and Class I were 0.97%, 1.69% and 0.72%, respectively. Actual expenses may be higher. For example, expenses may be higher than those shown if average net assets decrease. Net assets are more likely to decrease and Fund expense ratios are more likely to increase when markets are volatile.

All figures represent past performance and are not a guarantee of future results. Investment return and principal value of an investment will fluctuate so that an investor's shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. Fund returns assume the reinvestment of all distributions, at net asset value and the deduction of all Fund expenses. Total returns do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on Fund distributions or the redemption of Fund shares. Performance figures may reflect fee waivers and/or expense reimbursements. In the absence of fee waivers and/or expense reimbursements, the total return would have been lower. Current performance of the Fund may be lower or higher than the performance quoted. Performance data current to the most recent month end may be obtained by calling 1-844-828-1919.

(i)  The S&P 500 Index is an unmanaged index of 500 stocks and is generally representative of the performance of larger companies in the U.S.

(ii)  The Bloomberg U.S. Aggregate Bond Index is a broad-based bond index comprised of government, corporate, mortgage and asset-backed issues, rated investment grade or higher, and having at least one year to maturity. The Index was previously named the Barclays Aggregate Bond Index.

(iii)  The Blended S&P 500 Index (70%) and Bloomberg U.S. Aggregate Index (30%) has been prepared to parallel the targeted allocation of investments between equity and fixed-income securities. It consists of 70% of the performance of the S&P 500 Index and 30% of the Bloomberg Barclays U.S. Aggregate Index.

The Indices are unmanaged and are not subject to the same management and trading expenses as a mutual fund. Please note that an investor cannot invest directly in an index.

Fund expenses (unaudited)

Example

As a shareholder of the Fund, you may incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including front-end and back-end sales charges (loads) on purchase payments; and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees; service and/or distribution (12b-1) fees; and other Fund expenses. This example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the 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 on July 1, 2022 and held for the six months ended December 31, 2022.

Actual expenses

The table below titled "Based on Actual Total Return" provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information provided in this table, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. To estimate the expenses you paid on your account, divide your ending account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 ending account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number under the heading entitled "Expenses Paid During the Period".

Hypothetical example for comparison purposes

The table below titled "Based on Hypothetical Total Return" provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5.00% 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 the information provided in this table to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Fund and other funds. To do so, compare the 5.00% hypothetical example relating to the Fund with the 5.00% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds.

Please note that the expenses shown in the table below are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transactional costs. Therefore, the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transaction costs were included, your costs would have been higher.

1  For the six months ended December 31, 2022.

2  Assumes the reinvestment of all distributions at net asset value and does not reflect the deduction of the applicable sales charge with respect to Class A shares or the applicable contingent deferred sales charge ("CDSC") with respect to Class C shares. Total return is not annualized, as it may not be representative of the total return for the year. Performance figures may reflect fee waivers and/or expense reimbursements. In the absence of fee waivers and/or expense reimbursements, the total return would have been lower.

3  Expenses (net of fee waivers and/or expense reimbursements) are equal to each class' annualized expense ratio multiplied by the average account value over the period, multiplied by the number of days in the most recent fiscal half-year (184), then divided by 365.

Notes to financial statements

Note 1. Organization

The 1919 Financial Services Fund (the "Financial Services Fund"), 1919 Maryland Tax-Free Income Fund (the "Maryland Fund") and 1919 Socially Responsive Balanced Fund (the "Socially Responsive Fund", each a Fund and together, the "Funds") are separate series of the Trust for Advised Portfolios (the "Trust"), a Delaware Statutory Trust registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the "1940 Act") as an open-end investment management company. The Financial Services Fund and Socially Responsive Fund are registered as a diversified series; the Maryland Fund is registered as non-diversified investment series.

The Financial Services Fund seeks long-term capital appreciation by investing primarily in common stocks. The Maryland Fund seeks a high level of current income exempt from federal and Maryland state and local income taxes, consistent with prudent investment risk and preservation of capital. The Socially Responsive Fund seeks to provide high total return consisting of capital appreciation and current income.

Note 2. Significant accounting policies

The following is a summary of significant accounting policies consistently followed by the Funds in the preparation of their financial statements. These policies are in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("GAAP") for investment companies. The Funds are each considered an investment company under GAAP and follow the accounting and reporting guidance applicable to investment companies in the Financial Accounting Standards Board Accounting Standards Codification Topic 946. The presentation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP 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. Actual results may differ from those estimates.

(a) Securities valuation. Investments in securities traded on a national securities exchange are valued at the last reported sales price on the exchange on which the security is principally traded. Securities traded on the NASDAQ exchanges are valued at the NASDAQ Official Closing Price ("NOCP"). Exchange-traded securities for which no sale was reported and NASDAQ securities for which there is no NOCP are valued at the mean of the most recent quoted bid and ask prices. Unlisted securities held by the Funds are valued at the last sale price in the over-the-counter ("OTC") market. If there is no trading on a particular day, the mean between the last quoted bid and ask price is used.

Long-term fixed income securities are valued using prices provided by an independent pricing service approved by the Board. Pricing services may use various valuation methodologies, including matrix pricing and other analytical models as well as market transactions and dealer quotations. Securities for which market quotations are not readily available are valued at their estimated fair value as determined in good faith by 1919 Investment Counsel, LLC (the "Adviser") under procedures established by and under the general supervision and responsibility of the Trust's Board of Trustees.

1919 Funds 2022 Annual Report
54


When reliable market quotations are not readily available or a pricing service does not provide a valuation (or provides a valuation that in the judgment of the Adviser does not represent the security's fair value) or when, in the judgment of the Adviser, events have rendered the market value unreliable, a security is fair valued in good faith by the Adviser under procedures approved by the Board. Valuing securities at fair value is intended to ensure that the Funds are accurately priced and involves reliance on judgment. There can be no assurance that the Funds will obtain the fair value assigned to a security if it were to sell the security at approximately the time at which the Funds determine its NAV per share.

Various inputs are used in determining the value of the Funds' investments. These inputs are summarized into three broad levels and described below:

•  Level 1 — quoted prices in active markets for identical investments

•  Level 2 — other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar investments, 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.

The inputs or methodologies used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities. The following is a summary of the inputs used in valuing the Funds' assets carried at value:

(b) Foreign currency translation. Investment securities and other assets and liabilities in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollar amounts based upon prevailing exchange rates on the date of valuation. Purchases and sales of investment securities and income and expense items denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollar amounts based upon prevailing exchange rates on the respective dates of such transactions.

The Funds do not isolate the portion of the results of operations resulting from fluctuations in foreign exchange rates on investments from the fluctuations arising from changes in market prices of securities held. Such fluctuations are included with the net realized and unrealized gain or loss on investments.

Net realized foreign exchange gains or losses arise from sales of foreign currencies, including gains and losses on forward foreign currency contracts, currency gains or losses realized between the trade and settlement dates on securities transactions, and the difference between the amounts of dividends, interest, and foreign withholding taxes recorded on the Funds' books and the U.S. dollar equivalent of the amounts actually received or paid. Net unrealized foreign exchange gains and losses arise from changes in the values of assets and liabilities, other than investments in securities, on the date of valuation, resulting from changes in exchange rates.

Foreign security and currency transactions may involve certain considerations and risks not typically associated with those of U.S. dollar denominated transactions as a result of, among other factors, the possibility of lower levels of governmental supervision and regulation of foreign securities markets and the possibility of political or economic instability. As of December 31, 2022 the Financial Services Fund held foreign currency and securities.

(c) REIT distributions. The character of distributions received from Real Estate Investment Trusts (''REITs'') held by the Financial Services Fund and Socially Responsive Fund are generally comprised of net investment income, capital gains, and return of capital. It is the policy of the Funds to estimate the character of distributions received from underlying REITs based on historical data provided by the REITs. After each calendar year end, REITs report the actual tax character of these distributions. Differences between the estimated and actual amounts reported by the REITs are reflected in the Funds' records in the year in which they are reported by the REITs by adjusting related investment cost basis, capital gains and income, as necessary.

(d) Concentration risk. The Financial Services Fund normally invests at least 80% of its assets in financial services related investments. As a result of this investment policy, an investment in the Fund may be subject to greater risk and market fluctuation than an investment in a fund that invests in securities representing a broader range of investment alternatives.

The Maryland Fund invests substantially all of its assets in securities issued by or on behalf of the State of Maryland, its political subdivisions, municipalities, agencies, instrumentalities, and public authorities. Changes in economic conditions in, or governmental

policies of, the State of Maryland could have a significant impact on the performance of the Fund.

The Maryland Fund may focus a significant amount of its investments in a single sector of the municipal securities market. In doing so, the Fund is more susceptible to factors adversely affecting that sector than a fund not following that practice.

The Maryland Fund may invest a significant portion of assets in securities issued by local governments or public authorities that are rated according to their particular creditworthiness, which may vary significantly from the state's general obligations. The value of the Fund's shares will be more susceptible to being materially impacted by a single economic, political or regulatory event affecting those issuers or their securities than shares of a diversified fund.

(e) Foreign investment risk. The Financial Services Fund's investments in foreign securities may involve risks not present in domestic investments. Since securities may be denominated in foreign currencies, may require settlement in foreign currencies or pay interest or dividends in foreign currencies, changes in the relationship of these foreign currencies to the U.S. dollar can significantly affect the value of the investments and earnings of the Fund. Foreign investments may also subject the Fund to foreign government exchange restrictions, expropriation, taxation or other political, social or economic developments, all of which affect the market and/or credit risk of the investments.

(f) Security transactions and investment income. Security transactions are accounted for on a trade date basis. Interest income, adjusted for amortization of premium and accretion of discount, is recorded on the accrual basis. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date. The cost of investments sold is determined by use of the specific identification method. To the extent any issuer defaults or a credit event occurs that impacts the issuer, the Maryland Fund and Socially Responsive Fund may halt any additional interest income accruals and consider the realizability of interest accrued up to the date of default or credit event.

(g) Distribution to shareholders. The Financial Services Fund makes distributions from net investment income, if any, at least annually. The Maryland Fund declares income distributions each business day to shareholders of record, which are paid monthly. The Maryland Fund intends to satisfy conditions that will enable interest from municipal securities, which is exempt from federal and certain state income taxes, to retain such tax-exempt status when distributed to the shareholders of the Fund. The Socially Responsive Fund makes distributions from net investment income on a quarterly basis. Distributions of net realized gains, if any, are declared at least annually for each of the Funds (these are taxable for shareholders of the Maryland Fund). Distributions to shareholders of the Funds are recorded on the ex-dividend date and are determined in accordance with income tax regulations, which may differ from GAAP.

Notes to financial statements (cont'd)

(h) Indemnifications. In the normal course of business, the Funds enter into contracts that contain a variety of representations, which provide general indemnifications. The Funds' maximum exposure under these arrangements are unknown as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Funds that have not yet occurred. However, based on experience, the Funds expect the risk of loss to be remote.

(i) Share class accounting. Investment income, common expenses and realized/unrealized gains (losses) on investments are allocated to the various classes of the Funds on the basis of daily net assets of each class. Fees relating to a specific class are charged directly to that share class.

(j) Federal and other taxes. It is the Funds' policy to comply with the federal income and excise tax requirements of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 (the "Code"), as amended, applicable to regulated investment companies. Accordingly, the Funds intend to distribute their taxable income and net realized gains, if any, to shareholders in accordance with timing requirements imposed by the Code. Therefore, no federal or state income tax provision is required in the Funds' financial statements.

Management has analyzed the Funds' tax positions taken on income tax returns for all open tax years (prior three fiscal years) and has concluded that as of December 31, 2022, no provision for income tax is required in the Funds' financial statements. The Funds' federal and state income and federal excise tax returns for tax years for which the applicable statutes of limitations have not expired are subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service and state departments of revenue. The Funds have no examination in progress and are not aware of any tax positions for which it is reasonably possible that the total amounts of unrecognized tax benefits will significantly change in the next twelve months.

Under the applicable foreign tax laws, a withholding tax may be imposed on interest, dividends and capital gains at various rates.

Note 3. Investment management agreement and other transactions with affiliates

The Funds are required, in order to meet certain excise tax requirements, to measure and distribute annually, net capital gains realized during the twelve month period ending October 31. In connection with this requirement, the Funds are permitted, for tax purposes, to defer in to their next fiscal year any net capital losses incurred from November 1 through the end of the fiscal year. Late year losses incurred after December 31 within the fiscal year are deemed to arise on the first business day of the following fiscal year for tax purposes. As of December 31, 2022, the Funds did not have any late year or post October losses.

As of December 31, 2022, the Funds have capital loss carry forward amounts ("CLCFs") as summarized in the following table. Under the provision of the Regulated Investment Company Modernization Act of 2010, CLCFs can be carried forward indefinitely, and applied to offset future capital gains. CLCFs are applied consistent with the character in which they originated as a new loss on the first day of the immediately succeeding tax year.

There is a maximum initial sales charge of 5.75% for Class A shares of the Financial Services Fund and Socially Responsive Fund; the maximum initial sales charge for Class A shares of the Maryland Fund is 4.25%. There is a contingent deferred sales charge ("CDSC") of 1.00% on Class C shares for the Funds, which applies if redemption occurs within 12 months from purchase. In certain cases, Class A shares have a 1.00% CDSC,

1919 Funds 2022 Annual Report

Notes to financial statements (cont'd)

which applies if redemption occurs within 18 months from purchase. This CDSC only applies to those purchases of Class A shares, which, when combined with other purchases in the Funds, equal or exceed $1,000,000 in the aggregate. These purchases do not incur an initial sales charge.

For Class A shares sold by the Distributor, the Distributor will receive the sales charge imposed on purchases of Class A shares (or any contingent deferred sales charge paid on redemptions) and will retain the full amount of such sales charge.

For the year ended December 31, 2022, Quasar, did not retain sales charges on sales of the Class A shares of the Financial Services Fund, Maryland Fund, and Socially Responsive Fund. In addition, for the year ended December 31, 2022, CDSCs paid to Quasar were:

Note 8. Control Ownership

The beneficial ownership, either directly or indirectly, of more than 25% of the voting securities of a fund creates presumption of control of the fund under 2(a)(9) of the 1940 Act. As of December 31, 2022, Morgan Stanley, LLC. held approximately 41%, in aggregate for the benefit of others, of the outstanding shares of the Maryland Fund.

Note 9. LIBOR

The London Interbank Offered Rate ("LIBOR") is an interest-rate average calculated from estimates submitted by the leading banks in London. LIBOR represents the rate which banks may obtain short-term borrowings from each other. It is the primary interest rate benchmark for short-term interest rates around the world. The regulator of the LIBOR administrator phased out the use of LIBOR on December 30, 2021 such that the one-week and 2-month USD LIBOR settings ceased to be published or will no longer be representative. The remaining USD LIBOR settings will cease to be published or will no longer be representative after June 30, 2023. Because the usefulness of LIBOR as a reference rate could deteriorate during the transition from LIBOR to an alternative reference rate, these effects could occur prior to June 30, 2023. The expected discontinuation of LIBOR could have a significant impact on the financial markets, and may present a risk for certain market participants, including the risk that the transition from LIBOR to an alternative interest rate will not be orderly, will occur over various time periods or will have unintended consequences.

Report of independent registered public accounting firm

To the Board of Trustees of Trust for Advised Portfolios
and the Shareholders of 1919 Financial Services Fund,
1919 Maryland Tax-Free Income Fund, and
1919 Socially Responsive Balanced Fund

Opinion on the Financial Statements

We have audited the accompanying statements of assets and liabilities of 1919 Financial Services Fund, 1919 Maryland Tax-Free Income Fund, and 1919 Socially Responsive Balanced Fund, each a series of shares of beneficial interest in Trust for Advised Portfolios (the "Funds"), including the schedules of investments, as of December 31, 2022, and the related statements of operations for the year then ended, the statements of changes in net assets for each of the years in the two-year period then ended, the financial highlights for each of the years in the five-year period then ended, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the "financial statements"). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Funds as of December 31, 2022, and the results of their operations for the year then ended, the changes in their net assets for each of the years in the two-year period then ended and their financial highlights for each of the years in the five-year period then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Basis for Opinion

These financial statements are the responsibility of the Funds' management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Funds' financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) ("PCAOB") and are required to be independent with respect to the Funds in accordance with the U.S. federal securities law and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Funds are not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of their internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audits we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Funds' internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.

Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risk of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of December 31, 2022 by correspondence with the

1919 Funds 2022 Annual Report
68


custodian, brokers, or by other appropriate auditing procedures where replies from brokers were not received. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

BBD, LLP

We have served as the auditor of one or more of the Funds in the Trust for Advised Portfolios since 2010.

Statement Regarding Liquidity Risk Management Program

The Funds have adopted a liquidity risk management program (the "program"). The Board has designated a Liquidity Risk Committee ("Committee") of the Adviser to serve as the administrator of the program. The Committee conducts the day-to-day operation of the program pursuant to policies and procedures administered by the Committee.

Under the program, the Committee manages the Funds' liquidity risk, which is the risk that a fund could not meet shareholder redemption requests without significant dilution of remaining shareholders' interests in a fund. This risk is managed by monitoring the degree of liquidity of the Funds' investments, limiting the amount of the Funds' illiquid investments, and utilizing various risk management tools and facilities available to the Fund for meeting shareholder redemptions, among other means. The Committee's process of determining the degree of liquidity of the Funds' investments is supported by one or more third-party liquidity assessment vendors.

The Funds' Board reviewed a report prepared by the Committee regarding the operation and effectiveness of the program for the period January 1, 2022 through December 31, 2022. No significant liquidity events impacting the Funds were noted in the report. In addition, the Committee provided its assessment that the program had been effective in managing the Funds' liquidity risk.

Approval of Investment Advisory Agreements
1919 Financial Services Fund
1919 Socially Responsive Balanced Fund
1919 Maryland Tax-Free Income Fund
(unaudited)

At a meeting held on August 25 and 26, 2022, the Board of Trustees (the "Board") of Trust for Advised Portfolios (the "Trust"), including all Trustees who are not "interested persons" of the Trust ("Independent Trustees"), as that term is defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940, considered and approved the continuance of the investment advisory agreements ("Advisory Agreements") with 1919 Investment Counsel, LLC ("Adviser"), for the 1919 Financial Services Fund (the "Financial Services Fund"), 1919 Socially Responsive Balanced Fund (the "Socially Responsive Fund"), 1919 Maryland Tax-Free Income Fund (the "Maryland Fund") (each a "Fund" and together, the "Funds").

Ahead of the August meeting, the Board received and reviewed substantial information regarding the Funds, the Adviser and the services provided by the Adviser to the Funds under the Advisory Agreements. This information formed the primary (but not exclusive) basis for the Board's determinations. The information prepared specifically for the annual review of the Advisory Agreements supplemented the information provided to the Board and its committees throughout the year. The Board and its committees met regularly during the year and the information provided and topics discussed at such meetings were relevant to the review of the Advisory Agreements. Some of these reports and other data included, among other things, materials that outlined the investment performance of the Funds; compliance, regulatory, and risk management matters; the trading practices of the Adviser; valuation of investments; fund expenses; and overall market and regulatory developments. The Trustees considered the review of the Advisory Agreements to be an ongoing process and employed the accumulated information, knowledge, and experience they had gained during their tenure on the Board governing the Funds and working with the Adviser in their review of the Advisory Agreements. The Independent Trustees were advised by independent legal counsel during the annual review process as well as throughout the year, including meeting in executive sessions with such counsel without representatives from the Adviser present. In connection with their annual review, the Independent Trustees also received a memorandum from independent legal counsel outlining their fiduciary duties and legal standards in reviewing the Advisory Agreements.

In considering the continuance of the Advisory Agreements, the Board considered the following factors and made the following determinations. In its deliberations, the Board did not identify any single factor or piece of information as all important, controlling, or determinative of its decision, and each Trustee may have attributed different weights to the various factors and information.

•  In considering the nature, extent and quality of the services provided by the Adviser, the Trustees considered the Adviser's specific responsibilities in all aspects of the day-to-day management of the Funds, as well as the qualifications, experience and responsibilities of the portfolio managers and other key personnel involved in the day-to-day

1919 Funds 2022 Annual Report
72


activities of the Funds. The Board also considered the resources and compliance structure of the Adviser, including information regarding its compliance program, chief compliance officer, and compliance record, and its disaster recovery/business continuity plan. The Board also considered the existing relationship between the Adviser and the Trust, as well as the Board's knowledge of the Adviser's operations, and noted that during the course of the year it met with the Adviser to discuss fund performance and investment outlook, as well as various marketing and compliance topics, including the Adviser's risk management process. The Board concluded that the Adviser had sufficient quality and depth of personnel, resources, investment methods and compliance policies and procedures essential to performing its duties under the Advisory Agreements and that, in the Board's view, the nature, overall quality, and extent of the management services provided were and would continue to be satisfactory and reliable.

•  In assessing the quality of the portfolio management delivered by the Adviser, the Board reviewed the performance of the Funds on both an absolute basis and in comparison to each Fund's peer group and relevant benchmark index.

°  For the Financial Services Fund, the Board considered that the Financial Services Fund underperformed relative to its benchmark index for the 1-, 3-, 5-, and 10-year periods as of June 30, 2022. The Board also considered that the Fund outperformed relative to its peer median and average for the 1-, 3-, 5-, and 10-year periods as of June 30, 2022. The Board noted that the Financial Services Fund had achieved more than twenty calendar years of performance results.

°  For the Socially Responsive Fund, the Board considered that the Socially Responsive Fund underperformed relative to its benchmark index for the 1-, 3-, and 10-year periods and outperformed relative to its benchmark index for the 5-year period as of June 30, 2022. The Board also considered that the Fund outperformed relative to its peer group median/average for the 3-, 5-, and 10- year periods and underperformed relative to its peer group median/average for the 1-year period as of June 30, 2022. The Board noted that the Socially Responsive Fund had achieved nearly thirty calendar years of performance results.

°  For the Maryland Fund, the Board considered that the Maryland Fund outperformed relative to its benchmark index for the 1- and 3-year periods and underperformed relative to its benchmark index for the 5- and 10-year periods. The Board also considered that the Fund underperformed relative to its peer group median/average for the 10-year period, underperformed relative to its peer group average for the 3-year period, outperformed relative to its peer group median for the 3-year period, and outperformed relative to its peer group median and average for the 1- and 5-year

periods as of June 30, 2022. The Board noted that the Maryland Fund had achieved nearly thirty calendar years of performance results.

•  The Trustees also reviewed the cost of the Adviser's services, and the structure and level of the advisory fees payable by each Fund, including a comparison of the fees to fees payable by a peer group of funds. The Board noted that the Adviser had contractually agreed to maintain an annual expense cap for each Fund and that the Financial Services Fund and Socially Responsive Fund are operating below their expense caps. After reviewing the materials that were provided, the Trustees noted that the fee to be received by the Adviser for each Fund was within the range of advisory fees charged to comparable funds and concluded that each fee was fair and reasonable.

°  For the Financial Services Fund, the Board noted that the advisory fee and net expense ratio were higher than its peer group median and average, but were well within the peer group range.

°  For the Socially Responsive Fund, the Board noted that the advisory fee was lower than its peer group median/average and that the net expense ratio was lower than its peer group median/average.

°  For the Maryland Fund, the Board noted that the advisory fee was higher than its peer group median/average and that the net expense ratio was higher than its peer group median/average, but well within the peer group range.

•  The Trustees considered whether, based on the asset size of each Fund, economies of scale had been achieved. The Board considered that, in addition to the Adviser's commitment to maintain its cap on each Fund's expense ratio, the Adviser's advisory fee schedule for the Socially Responsive Fund includes breakpoints, which allow for economies of scale to be shared through reductions in the advisory fee as that Fund's assets grow. The Trustees concluded that they will have the opportunity to periodically reexamine whether economies of scale have been achieved.

•  The Trustees considered the profitability of the Adviser from managing each Fund. In assessing the Adviser's profitability, the Trustees reviewed the Adviser's financial information that was provided in the materials and took into account both the direct and indirect benefits to the Adviser from managing each Fund. The Trustees concluded that the Adviser's profits from managing each Fund were not excessive and, after a review of the relevant financial information, that the Adviser appeared to have adequate capitalization and/or would maintain adequate profit levels to support the Funds.

Letter to Shareholders (unaudited)

Dear Shareholder,

We are pleased to bring you the annual report on the 1919 Variable Socially Responsive Balanced Fund ("the Fund") through December 31, 2022.

Throughout the year, the Fund took a variety of measures to respond to changing market conditions. During the first half of the year we increased exposure to Health Care, Real Estate, and Utilities and decreased exposure to Information Technology, Communication Services, and Consumer Discretionary sectors. During the second half of the year we added to the Materials sectors and decreased exposure to the Information Technology, Industrials, and Consumer Staples sectors.

Throughout the year, we remained overweight in the Health Care, Financials, and Industrials sectors and maintained our underweight positioning in the Energy, Real Estate and Utilities sectors.

In the fixed-income portion of the Fund, we purchased Treasuries and Corporates including six green or sustainable bonds in the 3-10 year maturity range. Going forward, as the Fed draws closer to the end of the hiking cycle and the economy slows down, we will look to strategically extend the duration of the portfolio in defensive securities.

In the equity portion of the Fund, our stock selection in the Consumer Discretionary and Materials sectors contributed to relative performance in 2022. In terms of sector positioning, our underweighting of Consumer Discretionary and overweighting of Health Care and Industrials sectors also enhanced results. On an individual stock basis, the largest contributors to performance for the year were Eli Lilly & Co., TJX Cos. Inc., Chubb Limited, UnitedHealth Group Inc., and Steel Dynamics Inc.

The leading contributor to performance in the fixed-income portion of the Fund was a duration shorter than the benchmark. On an individual security basis, the largest contributors to return were Target Corp. 4.5% 9/15/32, QUALCOMM Inc. FRN 1/30/23, Goldman Sachs Group Inc. 0.481% 1/27/23, U.S. Treasury 4.125% 11/15/32 and Apple Inc. 2.85% 2/23/23.

In the equity portion of the Fund, our stock selection in the Industrials, Consumer Staples and Communication Services sectors detracted from relative results for the year. In terms of

sector positioning, our underweighting of the Energy and Utilities sectors detracted from performance. On an individual stock basis, the largest detractors from performance were Amazon.com Inc., Apple Inc., Microsoft Corp., NVIDIA Corp., and Meta Platforms Inc.

In the fixed-income portion of the Fund, the leading detractor to performance was our overweight to the 7-10 year part of the curve in the A-rated corporate sector. Ratings received from S&P®, Moody's, and/or Fitch and measured on a scale that generally ranges from AAA (highest) to D (lowest) and may change over time. Obligations rated A are considered upper-medium-grade and are subject to low credit risk. On an individual security basis, the largest detractors from performance were FNMA 0.875% 8/5/30, Mastercard Inc. 1.9% 3/15/31, U.S. Treasury 1.5% 2/15/30, Autodesk Inc. 2.4% 12/15/31 and U.S. Treasury 2.125% 5/31/26.

Thank you for your investment in the 1919 Variable Socially Responsive Balanced Fund. As always, we appreciate that you have chosen us to manage your assets and we remain focused on achieving the Fund's investment and social goals.

Sincerely,

Past performance is not a guarantee of future results.

Duration — commonly used measure of the potential volatility of the price of a debt security, or the aggregate market value of a portfolio of debt securities, prior to maturity. Securities with a longer duration generally have more volatile prices than securities of a comparable quality with a shorter duration.

Opinions expressed herein are as of 12/31/22 and are subject to change at any time, are not a guarantee and should not be considered investment advice.

Fund holdings and sector allocations are subject to change and are not a recommendation to buy or sell any security. Please refer to the Schedule of Investments for a complete list of Fund holdings.

only if preceded or accompanied by a current prospectus.

Mutual fund investing involves risk. Principal loss is possible. The Fund's social policy may cause it to make or avoid investments for social reasons when it is otherwise disadvantageous to do so. The Fund may invest in foreign and emerging market securities which will involve greater volatility and political, economic and currency risks and differences in accounting methods. The risks are particularly significant for funds that invest in emerging markets. Fixed income securities involve interest rate, credit, inflation and reinvestment risks; and possible loss of principal. As interest rates rise, the value of fixed income securities falls. The manager's investment style may become out of favor and/or the manager's selection process may prove incorrect, which may have a negative impact on the Fund's performance. Investments in asset-backed and mortgage-backed securities include additional risks that investors should be aware of such as credit risk, prepayment risk, possible illiquidity and default, as well as increased susceptibility to adverse economic developments.

*  Average annualized returns

As of the Fund's current prospectus dated April 30, 2022, the gross total and net annual operating expense ratios were 1.29% and 0.89%(iv), respectively. Actual expenses may be higher. For example, expenses may be higher than those shown if average net assets decrease. Net assets are more likely to decrease and Fund expense ratios are more likely to increase when markets are volatile.

All figures represent past performance and are not a guarantee of future results. Investment return and principal value of an investment will fluctuate so that an investor's shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. Fund returns assume the reinvestment of all distributions, at net asset value and the deduction of all Fund expenses. The returns shown do not reflect expenses associated with separate accounts such as administrative fees, account charges and surrender charges, which, if reflected, would reduce the total returns. Performance figures may reflect compensating balance arrangements, fee waivers and/or expense reimbursements. In the absence of compensating balance arrangements, fee waivers and/or expense reimbursements, the total return would have been lower. Current performance of the Fund may be lower or higher than the performance quoted. Performance data current to the most recent month end may be obtained by calling 1-844-828-1919.

(i)  The S&P 500 Index is an unmanaged index of 500 stocks and is generally representative of the performance of larger companies in the U.S.

(ii)  The Bloomberg U.S. Aggregate Index is a broad-based bond index comprised of government, corporate, mortgage and asset-backed issues, rated investment grade or higher, and having at least one year to maturity.

(iv)  The Adviser has contractually agreed to waive fees and reimburse operating expenses through April 30, 2024.

The Indices are unmanaged and are not subject to the same management and trading expenses as a mutual fund. Please note that an investor cannot invest directly in an index.

Fund expenses (unaudited)

Example

As a shareholder of the Fund, you may incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees; and other Fund expenses. This example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the 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 on July 1, 2022 and held for the six months ended December 31, 2022.

Actual expenses

The table below titled "Based on Actual Total Return" provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information provided in this table, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. To estimate the expenses you paid on your account, divide your ending account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 ending account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number under the heading entitled "Expenses Paid During the Period".

Hypothetical example for comparison purposes

The table below titled "Based on Hypothetical Total Return" provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5.00% 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 the information provided in this table to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Fund and other funds. To do so, compare the 5.00% hypothetical example relating to the Fund with the 5.00% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds.

Please note that the expenses shown in the table below are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transactional costs. Therefore, the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transaction costs were included, your costs would have been higher.

1  For the six months ended December 31, 2022.

2  Assumes the reinvestment of all distributions, including returns of capital, if any, at net asset value. Total return is not annualized, as it may not be representative of the total return for the year. Total returns do not reflect expenses associated with separate accounts such as administrative fees, account charges and surrender charges, which, if reflected, would reduce the total returns. Performance figures reflect fee waivers and/or expense reimbursements. In the absence of fee waivers and/or expense reimbursements, the total return would have been lower. Past performance is no guarantee of future results.

3  Expenses (net of fee waivers and/or expense reimbursements) are equal to the Fund's annualized expense ratio multiplied by the average account value over the period, multiplied by the number of days in the most recent fiscal half-year (184), then divided by 365.

Notes to financial statements

Note 1. Organization

1919 Variable Socially Responsive Balanced Fund (the "Fund") is a diversified series of Trust for Advised Portfolios (the "Trust"). The Trust, a Delaware Statutory Trust, is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the "1940 Act") as an open-end investment management company.

Shares of the Fund may only be purchased or redeemed through variable annuity contracts and variable life insurance policies offered by the separate accounts of participating insurance companies or through eligible pension or other qualified plans.

The Fund seeks capital appreciation and retention of net investment income.

Note 2. Significant accounting policies

The following is a summary of significant accounting policies consistently followed by the Fund in the preparation of its financial statements. These policies are in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("GAAP") for investment companies. The Fund is considered an investment company under GAAP and follows the accounting and reporting guidance applicable to investment companies in the Financial Accounting Standards Board Accounting Standards Codification Topic 946. The presentation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP 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 during the period. Actual results may differ from those estimates.

(a) Securities valuation. Investments in securities traded on a national securities exchange are valued at the last reported sales price on the exchange on which the security is principally traded. Securities traded on the NASDAQ exchanges are valued at the NASDAQ Official Closing Price ("NOCP"). Exchange-traded securities for which no sale was reported and NASDAQ securities for which there is no NOCP are valued at the mean of the most recent quoted bid and ask prices. Unlisted securities held by the Fund are valued at the last sale price in the over-the-counter ("OTC") market. If there is no trading on a particular day, the mean between the last quoted bid and ask price is used.

Long-term fixed income securities are valued using prices provided by an independent pricing service approved by the Board of Trustees. Pricing services may use various valuation methodologies, including matrix pricing and other analytical models as well as market transactions and dealer quotations. Securities for which market quotations are not readily available are valued at their estimated fair value as determined in good faith by 1919 Investment Counsel, LLC (the "Adviser" or "1919") under procedures established by and under the general supervision and responsibility of the Trust's Board of Trustees.

Notes to financial statements (cont'd)

Various inputs are used in determining the value of the Fund's investments. These inputs are summarized into three broad levels and described below:

•  Level 1 — quoted prices in active markets for identical investments

•  Level 2 — other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar investments, 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.

The inputs or methodologies used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities. The following is a summary of the inputs used in valuing the Fund's assets carried at value:

(b) Foreign currency translation. Investment securities and other assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollar amounts based upon prevailing exchange rates on the date of valuation. Purchases and sales of investment securities and income and expense items denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollar amounts based upon prevailing exchange rates on the respective dates of such transactions.

The Fund does not isolate that portion of the results of operations resulting from fluctuations in foreign exchange rates on investments from the fluctuations arising from changes in market prices of securities held. Such fluctuations are included with the net realized and unrealized gain or loss on investments.

Net realized foreign exchange gains or losses arise from sales of foreign currencies, including gains and losses on forward foreign currency contracts, currency gains or losses realized between the trade and settlement dates on securities transactions, and the difference between the amounts of dividends, interest, and foreign withholding taxes recorded

1919 Variable Socially Responsive Balanced Fund 2022 Annual Report
16


on the Fund's books and the U.S. dollar equivalent of the amounts actually received or paid. Net unrealized foreign exchange gains and losses arise from changes in the values of assets and liabilities, other than investments in securities, on the date of valuation, resulting from changes in exchange rates.

Foreign security and currency transactions may involve certain considerations and risks not typically associated with those of U.S. dollar denominated transactions as a result of, among other factors, the possibility of lower levels of governmental supervision and regulation of foreign securities markets and the possibility of political or economic instability.

(c) Foreign investment risk. The Fund's investments in foreign securities may involve risks not present in domestic investments. Since securities may be denominated in foreign currencies, may require settlement in foreign currencies or pay interest or dividends in foreign currencies, changes in the relationship of these foreign currencies to the U.S. dollar can significantly affect the value of the investments and earnings of the Fund. Foreign investments may also subject the Fund to foreign government exchange restrictions, expropriation, taxation or other political, social or economic developments, all of which affect the market and/or credit risk of the investments.

(d) Credit and market risk. Investments in securities that are collateralized by residential real estate mortgages are subject to certain credit and liquidity risks. When market conditions result in an increase in default rates of the underlying mortgages and the foreclosure values of underlying real estate properties are materially below the outstanding amount of these underlying mortgages, collection of the full amount of accrued interest and principal on these investments may be doubtful. Such market conditions may significantly impair the value and liquidity of these investments and may result in a lack of correlation between their credit ratings and values.

(e) Security transactions and investment income. Security transactions are accounted for on a trade date basis. Interest income, adjusted for amortization of premium and accretion of discount, is recorded on the accrual basis. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date. Foreign dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date or as soon as practicable after the Fund determines the existence of a dividend declaration after exercising reasonable due diligence. The cost of investments sold is determined by use of the specific identification method. To the extent any issuer defaults or a credit event occurs that impacts the issuer, the Fund may halt any additional interest income accruals and consider the realizability of interest accrued up to the date of default or credit event.

(f) Distribution to shareholders. Distributions from net investment income and distributions of net realized gains, if any, are declared at least annually. Distributions to shareholders of the Fund are recorded on the ex-dividend date and are determined in accordance with income tax regulations, which may differ from GAAP.

1919 Variable Socially Responsive Balanced Fund 2022 Annual Report
17


Notes to financial statements (cont'd)

(g) REIT distributions. The character of distributions received from Real Estate Investment Trusts (''REITs'') held by the Fund is generally comprised of net investment income, capital gains, and return of capital. It is the policy of the Fund to estimate the character of distributions received from underlying REITs based on historical data provided by the REITs. After each calendar year end, REITs report the actual tax character of these distributions. Differences between the estimated and actual amounts reported by the REITs are reflected in the Fund's records in the year in which they are reported by the REITs by adjusting related investment cost basis, capital gains and income, as necessary.

(h) Federal and other taxes. It is the Fund's policy to comply with the federal income and excise tax requirements of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 (the "Code"), as amended, applicable to regulated investment companies. Accordingly, the Fund intends to distribute its taxable income and net realized gains, if any, to shareholders in accordance with timing requirements imposed by the Code. Therefore, no federal or state income tax provision is required in the Fund's financial statements.

Management has analyzed the Fund's tax positions taken on income tax returns for all open tax years (prior three fiscal years) and has concluded that as of December 31, 2022, no provision for income tax is required in the Fund's financial statements. The Fund's federal and state income and federal excise tax returns for tax years for which the applicable statutes of limitations have not expired are subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service and state departments of revenue. The Fund has no examination in progress and is not aware of any tax position for which it is reasonably possible that the total amount of unrecognized tax benefits will significantly change in the next twelve months.

Under the applicable foreign tax laws, a withholding tax may be imposed on interest, dividends and capital gains at various rates.

Note 3. Investment management agreement and other transactions with affiliates

The Trust has an agreement with the Adviser to furnish investment advisory services to the Fund. Under the terms of this agreement, the Fund pays an investment management fee, calculated daily and paid monthly, in accordance with the following breakpoint schedule:

Report of independent registered public accounting firm

To the Board of Trustees of Trust for Advised Portfolios
and the Shareholders of 1919 Variable Socially Responsive Balanced Fund

Opinion on the Financial Statements

We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities of 1919 Variable Socially Responsive Balanced Fund (the "Fund"), including the schedule of investments, as of December 31, 2022, and the related statement of operations for the year then ended, the statements of changes in net assets for each of the years in the two-year period then ended and the financial highlights for each of the years in the five-year period then ended, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the "financial statements"). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Fund as of December 31, 2022, and the results of its operations for the year then ended, the changes in its net assets for each of the years in the two-year period then ended and its financial highlights for each of the years in the five-year period then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Basis for Opinion

These financial statements are the responsibility of the Fund's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Fund's financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) ("PCAOB") and are required to be independent with respect to the Fund in accordance with the U.S. federal securities law and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Fund is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audits we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Fund's internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.

Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risk of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of December 31, 2022 by correspondence with the custodian. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of

the financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

Statement Regarding Liquidity Risk Management Program

The Fund has adopted a liquidity risk management program (the "program"). The Board has designated a Liquidity Risk Committee ("Committee") of the Adviser to serve as the administrator of the program. The Committee conducts the day-to-day operation of the program pursuant to policies and procedures administered by the Committee.

Under the program, the Committee manages the Fund's liquidity risk, which is the risk that a fund could not meet shareholder redemption requests without significant dilution of remaining shareholders' interests in a fund. This risk is managed by monitoring the degree of liquidity of the Fund's investments, limiting the amount of the Fund's illiquid investments, and utilizing various risk management tools and facilities available to the Fund for

meeting shareholder redemptions, among other means. The Committee's process of determining the degree of liquidity of the Fund's investments is supported by one or more third-party liquidity assessment vendors.

The Fund's Board reviewed a report prepared by the Committee regarding the operation and effectiveness of the program for the period January 1, 2022 through December 31, 2022. No significant liquidity events impacting the Fund was noted in the report. In addition, the Committee provided its assessment that the program had been effective in managing the Fund's liquidity risk.

Approval of Investment Advisory Agreement (unaudited)
1919 Variable Socially Responsive Balanced Fund
Annual Report — Period Ended December 31, 2022

At a meeting held on August 25 and 26, 2022, the Board of Trustees (the "Board") of Trust for Advised Portfolios (the "Trust"), including all Trustees who are not "interested persons" of the Trust ("Independent Trustees"), as that term is defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940, considered and approved the continuance of the investment advisory agreement ("Advisory Agreement") with 1919 Investment Counsel, LLC ("Adviser"), for the 1919 Variable Socially Responsive Balanced Fund (the "Fund").

Ahead of the August meeting, the Board received and reviewed substantial information regarding the Fund, the Adviser and the services provided by the Adviser to the Fund under the Advisory Agreement. This information formed the primary (but not exclusive) basis for the Board's determinations. The information prepared specifically for the annual review of the Advisory Agreement supplemented the information provided to the Board and its committees throughout the year. The Board and its committees met regularly during the year and the information provided and topics discussed at such meetings were relevant to the review of the Advisory Agreement. Some of these reports and other data included, among other things, materials that outlined the investment performance of the Fund; compliance, regulatory, and risk management matters; the trading practices of the Adviser; valuation of investments; fund expenses; and overall market and regulatory developments. The Trustees considered the review of the Advisory Agreement to be an ongoing process and employed the accumulated information, knowledge, and experience they had gained during their tenure on the Board governing the Fund and working with the Adviser in their review of the Advisory Agreement. The Independent Trustees were advised by independent legal counsel during the annual review process as well as throughout the year, including meeting in executive sessions with such counsel without representatives from the Adviser present. In connection with their annual review, the Independent Trustees also received a memorandum from independent legal counsel outlining their fiduciary duties and legal standards in reviewing the Advisory Agreement.

In considering the continuance of the Advisory Agreement, the Board considered the following factors and made the following determinations. In its deliberations, the Board did not identify any single factor or piece of information as all important, controlling, or determinative of its decision, and each Trustee may have attributed different weights to the various factors and information.

•  In considering the nature, extent and quality of the services provided by the Adviser, the Trustees considered the Adviser's specific responsibilities in all aspects of the day-to-day management of the Fund, as well as the qualifications, experience and responsibilities of the portfolio managers and other key personnel involved in the day-to-day activities of the Fund. The Board also considered the resources and compliance structure of the Adviser, including information regarding its compliance program, chief compliance officer, and compliance record, and its disaster recovery/business continuity plan. The

Approval of Investment Advisory Agreement (unaudited) (cont'd)
1919 Variable Socially Responsive Balanced Fund
Annual Report — Period Ended December 31, 2022

Board also considered the existing relationship between the Adviser and the Trust, as well as the Board's knowledge of the Adviser's operations, and noted that during the course of the year it met with the Adviser to discuss fund performance and investment outlook, as well as various marketing and compliance topics, including the Adviser's risk management process. The Board concluded that the Adviser had sufficient quality and depth of personnel, resources, investment methods and compliance policies and procedures essential to performing its duties under the Advisory Agreement and that, in the Board's view, the nature, overall quality, and extent of the management services provided were and would continue to be satisfactory and reliable.

•  In assessing the quality of the portfolio management delivered by the Adviser, the Board reviewed the performance of the Fund on both an absolute basis and in comparison to its peer group and relevant benchmark index. The Board considered that the Fund outperformed relative to its benchmark index for the 3- and 5-year periods and underperformed relative to its benchmark index for the 1- and 10-year periods as of June 30, 2022. The Board also noted that the Fund outperformed relative to its peer group median/average for the 3-, 5-, and 10-year periods and underperformed relative to its peer group median/average for the 1-year period as of June 30, 2022. The Board noted that the Fund had achieved more than ten calendar years of performance results.

•  The Trustees also reviewed the cost of the Adviser's services, and the structure and level of the advisory fee payable by the Fund, including a comparison of the fee to fees payable by a peer group of funds. The Board noted that the Adviser had contractually agreed to maintain an annual expense cap for the Fund. The Board noted that the Fund's advisory fee was lower than its peer group median/average and that the Fund's net expense ratio was higher than its peer group median/average, but was well within the peer group range. After reviewing the materials that were provided, the Trustees noted that the fee to be received by the Adviser was within the range of advisory fees charged to comparable funds and concluded that such fee was fair and reasonable.

•  The Trustees considered whether, based on the asset size of the Fund, economies of scale had been achieved. The Board considered that, in addition to the Adviser's commitment to maintain its cap on the Fund's expense ratio, the Adviser's advisory fee schedule includes breakpoints, which allow for economies of scale to be shared through reductions in the advisory fee as Fund assets grow.

•  The Trustees considered the profitability of the Adviser from managing the Fund. In assessing the Adviser's profitability, the Trustees reviewed the Adviser's financial information that was provided in the materials and took into account both the direct and indirect benefits to the Adviser from managing the Fund. The Trustees concluded that the Adviser's profits from managing the Fund were not excessive and, after a review of the relevant financial information, that the Adviser appeared to have adequate capitalization and/or would maintain adequate profit levels to support the Fund.
