A. Portfolio Valuation

Portfolio Valuation — Bradesco Latin American Equity Fund and Bradesco Latin American Hard Currency Bond Fund (each a “Fund” and together the “Funds”) net asset value (“NAV”) is calculated once daily at the close of regular trading hours on the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) (typically 4:00 p.m. Eastern time) on each day the NYSE is open. Securities held by each Fund are valued using the closing price or the last sale price on a national securities exchange or the National Association of Securities Dealers Automatic Quotation System (“NASDAQ”) market system where they are primarily traded. Equity securities listed on any national or foreign exchange market system will be valued at the last sale price. Equity securities traded in the over-the-counter market are valued at their closing price. If there were no transactions on that day, securities traded principally on an exchange will be valued at the mean of the last bid and ask prices prior to the market close. Prices for equity securities normally are supplied by an independent pricing service approved by the FundVantage Trust’s Board of Trustees (“Board of Trustees”). Fixed income securities are valued based on market quotations, which are furnished by an independent pricing service. Fixed income securities having remaining maturities of 60 days or less are generally valued at amortized cost, provided such amount approximates fair value. Debt securities are valued on the basis of broker quotations or valuations provided by a pricing service, which utilizes information with respect to recent sales, market transactions in comparable securities, quotations from dealers, and various relationships between securities in determining value. Futures contracts are generally valued using the settlement price determined by the relevant exchange. Valuations developed through pricing techniques may materially vary from the actual amounts realized upon sale of the securities. Any assets held by the Funds that are denominated in foreign currencies are valued daily in U.S. dollars at the foreign currency exchange rates that are prevailing at the time that the Funds determine the daily NAV per share. Foreign securities may trade on weekends or other days when the Funds do not calculate NAV. As a result, the market value of these investments may change on days when you cannot buy or sell shares of the Funds. Foreign securities are valued based on prices from the primary market in which they are traded and are translated from the local currency into U.S. dollars using current exchange rates. Investments in any mutual fund are valued at their respective NAVs as determined by those mutual funds each business day (which may use fair value pricing as disclosed in their prospectuses). Securities that do not have a readily available current market value are valued in accordance with procedure adopted by the Trust’s Board of Trustees. The Board of Trustees has adopted methods for valuing securities and other assets in circumstances where market quotes are not readily available and has delegated to the Adviser the responsibility for applying the valuation methods. Relying on prices supplied by pricing services or dealers or using fair valuation may result in values that are higher or lower than the values used by other investment companies and investors to price the same investments. In the event that market quotes are not readily available, and the security or asset cannot be valued pursuant to one of the valuation methods, the value of the security or asset will be determined in good faith by the Adviser. The Trust has established a Valuation Committee which performs certain functions including the oversight of the Adviser’s fair valuation determinations.

Fair Value Measurements — The inputs and valuation techniques used to measure fair value of each Fund’s investments are summarized into three levels as described in the hierarchy below:

 

•    Level 1 —  

quoted prices in active markets for identical securities;

•    Level 2 —  

other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.); and

•    Level 3 —  

significant unobservable inputs (including the Funds’ own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments).

The fair value of a Fund’s bonds is generally based on quotes received from brokers of independent pricing services. Bonds with quotes that are based on actual trades with a sufficient level of activity on or near the measurement date are classified as Level 2 assets.

The inputs or methodology used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities. Transfers in and out are recognized at the value at the end of the period.

Significant events (such as movement in the U.S. securities market, or other regional and local developments) may occur between the time that foreign markets close (where the security is principally traded) and the time that each Fund calculates its NAV (generally, the close of the NYSE) that may impact the value of securities traded in these foreign markets. As a result, each Fund fair values foreign securities using an independent pricing service which considers the correlation of the trading patterns of the foreign security to the intraday trading in the U.S. markets for investments such as American Depositary Receipts, financial futures, exchange traded funds and certain indexes as well as prices for similar securities. Such fair valuations are categorized as Level 2 in the hierarchy.

At the end of each quarter, management evaluates the classification of Levels 1, 2 and 3 assets and liabilities. Various factors are considered, such as changes in liquidity from the prior reporting period; whether or not a broker is willing to execute at the quoted price; the depth and consistency of prices from third party pricing services; and the existence of contemporaneous, observable trades in the market. Additionally, management evaluates the classification of Level 1 and Level 2 assets and liabilities on a quarterly basis for changes in listings or delistings on national exchanges.

Notes to the Quarterly Portfolio of Investments (Continued)

(Unaudited)

 

Due to the inherent uncertainty of determining the fair value of investments that do not have a readily available market value, the fair value of the Funds’ investments may fluctuate from period to period. Additionally, the fair value of investments may differ significantly from the values that would have been used had a ready market existed for such investments and may differ materially from the values the Funds may ultimately realize. Further, such investments may be subject to legal and other restrictions on resale or otherwise less liquid than publicly traded securities.

For fair valuations using significant unobservable inputs, U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”) require the Funds to present a reconciliation of the beginning to ending balances for reported market values that presents changes attributable to total realized and unrealized gains or losses, purchase and sales, and transfers in and out of Level 3 during the period. Transfers in and out between Levels are based on values at the end of the period. U.S. GAAP also requires the Funds to disclose amounts and reasons for all transfers in and out of Level 1 and Level 2 fair value measurements. A reconciliation of Level 3 investments is presented only when the Funds had an amount of Level 3 investments at the end of the reporting period that was meaningful in relation to its net assets. The amounts and reasons for all transfers in and out of each Level within the three-tier hierarchy are disclosed when the Funds had an amount of total transfers during the reporting period that was meaningful in relation to its net assets as of the end of the reporting period.

For the period ended January 31, 2017, there were no transfers between Levels 1, 2 and 3 for the Funds.

Forward Foreign Currency Contracts — A forward foreign currency contract (“Forward Contract”) is a commitment to buy or sell a specific amount of a foreign currency at a negotiated price on a specified future date. Forward Contracts can help a fund manage the risk of changes in currency exchange rates. These contracts are marked-to-market daily at the applicable forward currency translation rates. A fund records realized gains or losses at the time the Forward Contract is closed. A Forward Contract is extinguished through a closing transaction or upon delivery of the currency or entering an offsetting contract. The fund’s maximum risk of loss from counterparty credit risk related to Forward Contracts is the fair value of the contract.

Futures Contracts — The Funds may use futures contracts for hedging or speculative purposes consistent with its investment objective. Upon entering into a futures contract, the Funds must deposit initial margin in addition to segregating cash or liquid assets sufficient to meet its obligation to purchase or provide securities, or to pay the amount owed at the expiration of an index-based futures contract. Such liquid assets may consist of cash, cash equivalents, liquid debt or equity securities or other acceptable assets. Pursuant to the futures contract, the Funds agree to receive from, or pay to the broker, an amount of cash equal to the daily fluctuation in value of the contract. Such a receipt of payment is known as “variation margin” and is recorded by the Funds as an unrealized gain or loss. When the contract is closed, the Funds record a realized gain or loss equal to the difference between the proceeds from (or cost of)

the closing transactions and the Funds’ basis in the contract. Futures contracts have market risks, including the risk that the change in the value of the contract may not correlate with changes in the value of the underlying securities. Use of short futures contracts subjects the Funds to unlimited risk of loss. As of January 31, 2017, the Funds had no open futures contracts.

Purchased Options — The Funds may purchase option contracts. They are subject to interest rate and other risk exposure in the normal course of pursuing their investment objectives. The risk associated with purchasing an option is that the Funds pay a premium whether or not the option is exercised. Additionally, the Funds bear the risk of loss of premium and change in market value should the counterparty not perform under the contract. Put and call options are accounted for in the same manner as other securities owned. The cost of securities acquired through the exercise of call options is increased by the premiums paid. The proceeds from securities sold through the exercise of put options are decreased by the premiums paid.

For the period ended January 31, 2017, the Bradesco Latin American Hard Currency Bond Fund’s quarterly average volume of derivatives was as follows:

 

Purchased

(Cost)

$32,551

Options Written — The Funds are subject to equity and other risk exposure in the normal course of pursuing its investment objectives and may enter into options written to hedge the values of equities. Such options may relate to particular securities or domestic stock indices, and may or may not be listed on a domestic securities exchange or issued by the Options Clearing Corporation. An option contract is a commitment that gives the purchaser of the contract the right, but not the obligation, to buy or sell an underlying asset at a specific price on or before a specified future date. On the other hand, the writer of an option contract is obligated, upon the exercise of the option, to buy or sell an underlying asset at a specific price on or before a specified future date. The maximum risk of loss associated with writing put options is limited to the exercised fair value of the option contract. The maximum risk of loss associated with writing call options is potentially unlimited. The Funds also has the additional risk of being unable to enter into a closing transaction at an acceptable price if a liquid secondary market does not exist. The Funds also may write over-the-counter options where completing the obligation depends upon the credit standing of the other party. Option contracts also involve the risk that they may result in loss due to unanticipated developments in market conditions or other causes. Written options are initially recorded as liabilities to the extent of premiums received and subsequently marked to market to reflect the current value of the option written. Gains or losses are realized when the option transaction expires or closes. When an option is exercised, the proceeds on sales for a written call option or the purchase cost for a written put option is adjusted by the amount of the premium received. Listed option contracts present minimal counterparty credit risk since they are exchange traded and the exchange’s clearinghouse, as counterparty to all

exchange-traded options, guarantees the options against default. A Fund’s maximum risk of loss from counterparty credit risk related to OTC option contracts is limited to the premium paid. As of January 31, 2017, the Funds had no written options.

The Bradesco Latin American Hard Currency Bond Fund had transactions in options written during the nine month period ended January 31, 2017 as follows:

Currency Risk — Each Fund invests in securities of foreign issuers, including American Depositary Receipts. These markets are subject to special risks associated with foreign investments not typically associated with investing in U.S. markets. Because the foreign securities in which each Fund may invest generally trade in currencies other than the U.S. dollar, changes in currency exchange rates will affect each Fund’s NAV, the value of dividends and interest earned and gains and losses realized on the sale of securities. Because the NAV for each Fund is determined on the basis of U.S. dollars, each Fund may lose money by investing in a foreign security if the local currency of a foreign market depreciates against the U.S. dollar, even if the local currency value of each Fund’s holdings goes up. Generally, a strong U.S. dollar relative to these other currencies will adversely affect the value of each Fund’s holdings in foreign securities.

Foreign Securities Market Risk — Securities of many non-U.S. companies may be less liquid and their prices more volatile than securities of comparable U.S. companies. Securities of companies traded in many countries outside the U.S., particularly emerging markets countries, may be subject to further risks due to the inexperience of local investment professionals and financial institutions, the possibility of permanent or temporary termination of trading and greater spreads between bid and asked prices of securities. In addition, non-U.S. stock exchanges and investment professionals are subject to less governmental regulation, and commissions may be higher than in the United States. Also, there may be delays in the settlement of non-U.S. stock exchange transactions.

Emerging Markets Risk — The Bradesco Latin American Equity Fund and the Bradesco Latin American Hard Currency Bond Fund invests in emerging market instruments which are subject to certain credit and market risks. The securities and currency markets of emerging market countries are generally smaller, less developed, less liquid and more volatile than the securities and currency markets of the United States and other developed markets. Disclosure and regulatory standards in many respects are less stringent than in other developed markets. There also may be a lower level of monitoring and regulation of securities markets in emerging market countries and the activities of investors in such markets and

enforcement of existing regulations may be extremely limited. Political and economic structures in many of these countries may be in their infancy and developing rapidly, and such countries may lack the social, political and economic stability characteristics of more developed countries.

Debt Investment Risk — Debt investments are affected primarily by the financial condition of the companies or other entities that have issued them and by changes in interest rates. There is a risk that an issuer of a Fund’s debt investments may not be able to meet its financial obligations (e.g., may not be able to make principal and/or interest payments when they are due or otherwise default on other financial terms) and/or go bankrupt. Securities such as high-yield/high-risk bonds, e.g., bonds with low credit ratings by Moody’s (Ba or lower) or Standard & Poor’s (BB and lower) or if unrated are of comparable quality as determined by the manager, are especially subject to credit risk during periods of economic uncertainty or during economic downturns and are more likely to default on their interest and/or principal payments than higher rated securities. Debt investments may be affected by changes in interest rates. Debt investments with longer durations tend to be more sensitive to changes in interest rates, making them more volatile than debt investments with shorter durations or floating or adjustable interest rates. The value of debt investments may fall when interest rates rise.

A. Portfolio Valuation

Portfolio Valuation — DuPont Capital Emerging Markets Fund and DuPont Capital Emerging Markets Debt Funds’ (each a “Fund” and together the “Funds”) net asset value (“NAV”) is calculated once daily at the close of regular trading hours on the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) (typically 4:00 p.m. Eastern time) on each day the NYSE is open. Securities held by each Fund are valued using the closing price or the last sale price on a national securities exchange or the National Association of Securities Dealers Automatic Quotation System (“NASDAQ”) market system where they are primarily traded. Equity securities listed on any national or foreign exchange market system will be valued at the last sale price. Equity securities traded in the over-the-counter market are valued at their closing price. If there were no transactions on that day, securities traded principally on an exchange will be valued at the mean of the last bid and ask prices prior to the market close. Prices for equity securities normally are supplied by an independent pricing service approved by the FundVantage Trust’s Board of Trustees (“Board of Trustees”). Fixed income securities are valued based on market quotations, which are furnished by an independent pricing service approved by the Board of Trustees. Fixed income securities having remaining maturities of 60 days or less are generally valued at amortized cost, provided such amount approximates market value. Debt securities are valued on the basis of broker quotations or valuations provided by a pricing service, which utilizes information with respect to recent sales, market transactions in comparable securities, quotations from dealers, and various relationships between securities in determining value. Due to continued volatility in the current market, valuations developed through pricing techniques may materially vary from the actual amounts realized upon sale of the securities. Any assets held by the Funds that are denominated in foreign currencies are valued daily in U.S. dollars at the foreign currency exchange rates that are prevailing at the time that the Funds determine the daily NAV per share. Foreign securities may trade on weekends or other days when the Funds do not calculate NAV. As a result, the market value of these investments may change on days when you cannot buy or sell shares of the Funds. Foreign securities are valued based on prices from the primary market in which they are traded and are translated from the local currency into U.S. dollars using current exchange rates. Forward exchange contracts are valued at the forward rate. Investments in any mutual fund are valued at their respective NAVs as determined by those mutual funds each business day (which may use fair value pricing as disclosed in their prospectuses). Securities that do not have a readily available current market value are valued in accordance with the procedure adopted by the Trust’s Board of Trustees. The Board of Trustees has adopted methods for valuing securities and other assets in circumstances where market quotes are not readily available and has delegated to the Adviser the responsibility for applying the valuation methods. Relying on prices supplied by pricing services or dealers or using fair valuation may result in values that are higher or lower than the values used by other investment companies and investors to price the same investments. In the event that market quotes are not readily available, and the security or asset cannot be valued pursuant to one of the valuation methods, the value of the security or asset will be determined in good faith by the Adviser. The Trust has established a Valuation Committee which performs certain functions including the oversight of the Adviser’s fair valuation determinations.

Fair Value Measurements — The inputs and valuation techniques used to measure fair value of the Funds’ investments are summarized into three levels as described in the hierarchy below:

 

•    Level 1 —  

quoted prices in active markets for identical securities;

•    Level 2 —  

other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.); and

•    Level 3 —  

significant unobservable inputs (including the Funds’ own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments).

The fair value of a Fund’s bonds is generally based on quotes received from brokers of independent pricing services. Bonds with quotes that are based on actual trades with a sufficient level of activity on or near the measurement date are classified as Level 2 assets.

The inputs or methodology used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities. Transfers in and out are recognized at the value at the end of the period.

Significant events (such as movement in the U.S. securities market, or other regional and local developments) may occur between the time that foreign markets close (where the security is principally traded) and the time that each Fund calculates its NAV (generally, the close of the NYSE) that may impact the value of securities traded in these foreign markets. As a result, each Fund fair values foreign securities using an independent pricing service which considers the correlation of the trading patterns of the foreign security to the intraday trading in the U.S. markets for investments such as American Depositary Receipts, financial futures, exchange traded funds and certain indexes as well as prices for similar securities. Such fair valuations are categorized as Level 2 in the hierarchy.

Securities listed on a non-U.S. exchange are generally fair valued daily by an independent fair value pricing service approved by the Board of Trustees and categorized as Level 2 investments within the hierarchy. The fair valuations for these securities may not be the same as quoted or published prices of the securities on their primary markets. Securities for which daily fair value prices from the independent fair value pricing service are not available are generally valued at the last quoted sale price at the close of an exchange on which the security is traded and categorized as Level 1 investments within the hierarchy. Values of foreign securities, currencies, and other assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollars at the exchange rate of said currencies against the U.S. dollar, as of Valuation Time, as provided by an independent pricing service approved by the Board of Trustees.

At the end of each quarter, management evaluates the classification of Levels 1, 2 and 3 assets and liabilities. Various factors are considered, such as changes in liquidity from the prior reporting period; whether or not a broker is willing to execute at the quoted price; the depth and consistency of prices from third party pricing services; and the existence of contemporaneous, observable trades in the market. Additionally, management evaluates the classification of Level 1 and Level 2 assets and liabilities on a quarterly basis for changes in listings or delistings on national exchanges.

Due to the inherent uncertainty of determining the fair value of investments that do not have a readily available market value, the fair value of the Funds’ investments may fluctuate from period to period. Additionally, the fair value of investments may differ significantly from the values that would have been used had a ready market existed for such investments and may differ materially from the values the Funds may ultimately realize. Further, such investments may be subject to legal and other restrictions on resale or otherwise less liquid than publicly traded securities.

For fair valuations using significant unobservable inputs, U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”) require each Fund to present a reconciliation of the beginning to ending balances for reported market values that presents changes attributable to total realized and unrealized gains or losses, purchase and sales, and transfers in and out of Level 3 during the period. Transfers in and out between Levels are based on values at the end of the period. U.S. GAAP also requires each Fund to disclose amounts and reasons for all transfers in and out of Level 1 and Level 2 fair value measurements. A reconciliation of Level 3 investments is presented only when each Fund had an amount of Level 3 investments at the end of the reporting period that was meaningful in relation to its net assets. The amounts and reasons for all transfers in and out of each Level within the three-tier hierarchy are disclosed when each Fund had an amount of total transfers during the reporting period that was meaningful in relation to its net assets as of the end of the reporting period.

For the period ended January 31, 2017, The DuPont Capital Emerging Markets Fund had transfers from Level 1 to Level 2 of $2,064,687. There were no transfers between Levels 1, 2, and 3 in the DuPont Capital Emerging Markets Debt Fund.

Forward Foreign Currency Contracts — A forward foreign currency contract (“Forward Contract”) is a commitment to buy or sell a specific amount of a foreign currency at a negotiated price on a specified future date. Forward Contracts can help a fund manage the risk of changes in currency exchange rates. These contracts are marked-to-market daily at the applicable forward currency translation rates. A fund records realized gains or losses at the time the Forward Contract is closed. A Forward Contract is extinguished through a closing transaction or upon delivery of the currency or entering an offsetting contract. The Fund’s maximum risk of loss from counterparty credit risk related to Forward Contracts is the fair value of the contract.

For the period ended January 31, 2017, the DuPont Capital Emerging Markets Debt Fund’s average monthly volume of forward foreign currency contracts was as follows:

 

Forward Foreign
Currency
Contracts - Payable
(Value At Trade Date)

   Forward Foreign
Currency
Contracts - Receivable
(Value At Trade Date)

$(114,468)

A. Portfolio Valuation:

Portfolio Valuation – The EIC Value Fund’s (the “Fund”) net asset value (“NAV”) is calculated once daily at the close of regular trading hours on the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) (typically 4:00 p.m. Eastern time) on each day the NYSE is open. Securities held by the Fund are valued using the closing price or the last sale price on a national securities exchange or the National Association of Securities Dealers Automatic Quotation System (“NASDAQ”) market system where they are primarily traded. Equity securities traded in the over-the-counter market are valued at their closing prices. If there were no transactions on that day, securities traded principally on an exchange or on NASDAQ will be valued at the mean of the last bid and ask prices prior to the market close. Fixed income securities having a remaining maturity of greater than 60 days are valued using an independent pricing service. Fixed income securities having a remaining maturity of 60 days or less are valued at amortized cost, provided such amount approximates market value. Investments in other open-end investment companies are valued based on the NAV of the investment companies (which may use fair value pricing as discussed in their prospectuses). If market quotations are unavailable or deemed unreliable, securities will be valued in accordance with procedures adopted by the FundVantage Trust’s Board of Trustees. Relying on prices supplied by pricing services or dealers or using fair valuation may result in values that are higher or lower than the values used by other investment companies and investors to price the same investments. In the event that market quotes are not readily available, and the security or asset cannot be valued pursuant to one of the valuation methods, the value of the security or asset will be determined in good faith by the Adviser. The Trust has established a Valuation Committee which performs certain functions including the oversight of the Adviser’s fair valuation determinations.

Fair Value Measurements – The inputs and valuations techniques used to measure fair value of the Fund’s investments are summarized into three levels as described in the hierarchy below:

 

 

Level 1 — quoted prices in active markets for identical securities;

 

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

 

Level 3 — significant unobservable inputs (including the Funds’ own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments).

The inputs or methodology used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities.

At the end of each quarter, management evaluates the classification of Levels 1, 2 and 3 assets and liabilities. Various factors are considered, such as changes in liquidity from the prior reporting period; whether or not a broker is willing to execute at the quoted price; the depth and consistency of prices from third party pricing services; and the existence of contemporaneous, observable trades in the market. Additionally, management evaluates the classification of Level 1 and Level 2 assets and liabilities on a quarterly basis for changes in listings or delistings on national exchanges.

Due to the inherent uncertainty of determining the fair value of investments that do not have a readily available market value, the fair value of the Fund’s investments may fluctuate from period to period. Additionally, the fair value of investments may differ significantly from the values that would have been used had a ready market existed for such investments and may differ materially from the values the Fund may ultimately realize. Further, such investments may be subject to legal and other restrictions on resale or are otherwise less liquid than publicly traded securities.

For fair valuations using significant unobservable inputs, U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”) require the Fund to present a reconciliation of the beginning to ending balances for reported market values that presents changes attributable to total realized and unrealized gains or losses, purchase and sales, and transfers in and out of Level 3 during the period. Transfers in and out between Levels are based on values at the end of the period. U.S. GAAP also requires the Fund to disclose amounts and reasons for all transfers in and out of Level 1 and Level 2 fair value measurements. A reconciliation of Level 3 investments is presented only when the Fund had an amount of Level 3 investments at the end of the reporting period that was meaningful in relation to its net assets. The amounts and reasons for all transfers in and out of each Level within the three-tier hierarchy are disclosed when the Fund had an amount of total transfers during the reporting period that was meaningful in relation to its net assets as of the end of the reporting period.

Notes to the Quarterly Portfolio of Investments

A. Portfolio Valuation:

Portfolio Valuation – The Estabrook Investment Grade Fixed Income Fund’s (the “Fund”) net asset value (“NAV”) is calculated once daily at the close of regular trading hours on the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) (typically 4:00 p.m. Eastern time) on each day the NYSE is open. Securities held by the Fund are valued at their last sale price on the NYSE on the day the security is valued. Lacking any sales on such day, the security will be valued at the mean between the last asked price and the last bid price prior to the market close. Securities listed on other exchanges (and not subject to restriction against sale by the Fund on such exchanges) will be similarly valued, using quotations on the exchange on which the security is traded most extensively. Unlisted securities that are quoted on the National Association of Securities Dealers National Market System, for which there have been sales of such securities on such day, shall be valued at the official closing price on such system on the day the security is valued. If there are no such sales on such day, the value shall be the mean between the last asked price and the last bid price prior to market close. The value of such securities quoted on the National Association of Securities Dealers Automatic Quotation System (“NASDAQ”) market system, but not listed on the National Market System, shall be valued at the mean between closing asked price and the closing bid price. Unlisted securities that are not quoted on the NASDAQ and for which over-the-counter market quotations are readily available will be valued at the mean between the current bid and asked prices for such security in the over-the-counter market. Fixed income and preferred securities are valued based on market quotations, which are furnished by an independent pricing service. Fixed income securities having a remaining maturity of 60 days or less are generally valued at amortized cost, provided such amount approximates fair value. Debt securities are valued on the basis of broker quotations or valuations provided by a pricing service, which utilizes information with respect to recent sales, market transactions in comparable securities, quotations from dealers, and various relationships between securities in determining value. Due to continued volatility in the current market, valuations developed through pricing techniques may materially vary from the actual amounts realized upon sale of the securities. Investments in other open-end investment companies are valued based on the NAV of the investment companies (which may use fair value pricing as discussed in their prospectuses). If market quotations are unavailable or deemed unreliable, securities will be valued in accordance with procedures adopted by the FundVantage Trust’s Board of Trustees. Relying on prices supplied by pricing services or dealers or using fair valuation may result in values that are higher or lower than the values used by other investment companies and investors to price the same investments. In the event that market quotes are not readily available, and the security or asset cannot be valued pursuant to one of the valuation methods, the value of the security or asset will be determined in good faith by the Adviser. The Trust has established a Valuation Committee which performs certain functions including the oversight of the Adviser’s fair valuation determinations.

Fair Value Measurements – The inputs and valuations techniques used to measure fair value of the Fund’s investments are summarized into three levels as described in the hierarchy below:

 

•    Level 1 —  

quoted prices in active markets for identical securities;

 

6


ESTABROOK INVESTMENT GRADE FIXED INCOME FUND

Notes to the Quarterly Portfolio of Investments (Continued)

January 31, 2017

(Unaudited)

•    Level 2 —  

other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.); and

•    Level 3 —  

significant unobservable inputs (including the Funds’ own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments).

The fair value of the Fund’s bonds are generally based on quotes received from brokers of independent pricing services. Bonds with quotes that are based on actual trades with a sufficient level of activity on or near the measurement date are classified as Level 2 assets.

The inputs or methodology 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, as of January 31, 2017, in valuing the Fund’s investments carried at fair value:

At the end of each quarter, management evaluates the classification of Levels 1, 2 and 3 assets and liabilities. Various factors are considered, such as changes in liquidity from the prior reporting period; whether or not a broker is willing to execute at the quoted price; the depth and consistency of prices from third party pricing services; and the existence of contemporaneous, observable trades in the market. Additionally, management evaluates the classification of Level 1 and Level 2 assets and liabilities on a quarterly basis for changes in listings or delistings on national exchanges.

Due to the inherent uncertainty of determining the fair value of investments that do not have a readily available market value, the fair value of the Fund’s investments may fluctuate from period to period. Additionally, the fair value of investments may differ significantly from the values that would have been used had a ready market existed for such investments and may differ materially from the values the Fund may ultimately realize. Further, such investments may be subject to legal and other restrictions on resale or otherwise less liquid than publicly traded securities.

For fair valuations using significant unobservable inputs, U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”) require the Fund to present a reconciliation of the beginning to ending balances for reported market values that presents changes attributable to total realized and unrealized gains or losses, purchase

and sales, and transfers in and out of Level 3 during the period. Transfers in and out between Levels are based on values at the end of the period. U.S. GAAP also requires the Fund to disclose amounts and reasons for all transfers in and out of Level 1 and Level 2 fair value measurements. A reconciliation of Level 3 investments is presented only when the Fund had an amount of Level 3 investments at the end of the reporting period that was meaningful in relation to its net assets. The amounts and reasons for all transfers in and out of each Level within the three-tier hierarchy are disclosed when the Fund had an amount of total transfers during the reporting period that was meaningful in relation to its net assets as of the end of the reporting period.

For the period ended January 31, 2017, there were no transfers between Levels 1, 2 and 3 for the Fund.

For more information with regard to significant accounting policies, see the most recent semi-annual or annual report filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

INSIGHT INVESTMENT GRADE BOND FUND

Notes to the Quarterly Portfolio of Investments

A. Portfolio Valuation

Portfolio Valuation — The Insight Investment Grade Bond Fund’s (the “Fund”), net asset value (“NAV”) is calculated once daily at the close of regular trading hours on the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) (typically 4:00 p.m. Eastern time) on each business day the NYSE is open. Securities held by the Fund are valued at their last sale price on the NYSE on the day the security is valued. Lacking any sales on such day, the security will be valued at the mean between the last asked price and the last bid price prior to the market close. Securities listed on other exchanges (and not subject to restriction against sale by the Fund on such exchanges) will be similarly valued, using quotations on the exchange on which the security is traded most extensively. Unlisted securities that are quoted on the National Association of Securities Dealers Market System, for which there have been sales of such securities on such day, shall be valued at the official closing price on such system on the day the security is valued. If there are no such sales on such day, the value shall be the mean between the last asked price and the last bid price prior to market close. The value of such securities quoted on the National Association of Securities Dealers Automatic Quotation System (“NASDAQ”) markets system, but not listed on the National Market System, shall be valued at the mean between closing asked price and the closing bid price. Unlisted securities that are not quoted on the NASDAQ and for which over-the-counter market quotations are readily available will be valued at the mean between the current bid and the asked prices for such security in the over-the-counter market. Fixed income securities are valued based on the market quotations, which are furnished by an independent pricing service. Fixed income securities having a remaining maturity of 60 days or less are generally valued at amortized cost, provided such amount approximates market value. Debt securities are valued on the basis of broker quotations or valuations provided by a pricing service, which utilizes information with respect to recent sales, market transactions in comparable securities, quotations from dealers, and various relationships between securities in determining value. Valuations developed through pricing techniques may materially vary from the actual amounts realized upon sale of the securities. Investments in other open-end investment companies are valued based on the NAV of the investment companies (which may use fair value pricing as discussed in their prospectuses). If market quotations are unavailable or deemed unreliable, securities will be valued in accordance with procedures adopted by the Trust’s Board of Trustees. Relying on prices supplied by pricing services or dealers or using fair valuation may result in values that are higher or lower than the values used by other investment companies and investors to price the same investments. In the event that market quotes are not readily available, and the security or asset cannot be valued pursuant to one of the valuation methods, the value of the security or asset will be determined in good faith by the Adviser. The Trust has established a Valuation Committee which performs certain functions including the oversight of the Adviser’s fair valuation determinations.

Fair Value Measurements — The inputs and valuations techniques used to measure fair value of the Fund’s investments are summarized into three levels as described in the hierarchy below:

 

•    Level 1 —  

quoted prices in active markets for identical securities;

•    Level 2 —  

other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.); and

•    Level 3 —  

significant unobservable inputs (including the Fund’s own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments).

The fair value of the Fund’s bonds are generally based on the quotes received from brokers or independent pricing services. Bonds with quotes that are based on actual trades with a sufficient level of activity on or near the measurement date are classified as Level 2 assets.

The inputs or methodology used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities.

At the end of each quarter, management evaluates the classification of Levels 1, 2 and 3 assets and liabilities. Various factors are considered, such as changes in liquidity from the prior reporting period; whether or not a broker is willing to execute at the quoted price; the depth and consistency of prices from third party pricing services; and the existence of contemporaneous, observable trades in the market. Additionally, management evaluates the classification of Level 1 and Level 2 assets and liabilities on a quarterly basis for changes in listings or delistings on national exchanges.

Due to the inherent uncertainty of determining the fair value of investments that do not have a readily available market value, the fair value of the Fund’s investments may fluctuate from period to period. Additionally, the fair value of investments may differ significantly from the values that would have been used had a ready market existed for such investments and may differ materially from the values the Fund may ultimately realize. Further, such investments may be subject to legal and other restrictions on resale or are otherwise may be less liquid than publicly traded securities.

For fair valuations using significant unobservable inputs, U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”) require the Fund to present a reconciliation of the beginning to ending balances for reported market values that presents changes attributable to total realized and unrealized gains or losses, purchase and sales, and transfers in and out of Level 3 during the period. Transfers in and out between Levels are based on values at the end of the period. U.S. GAAP also requires the Fund to disclose amounts and reasons for all transfers in and out of Level 1 and Level 2 fair value measurements. A reconciliation of Level 3 investments is presented only when the Fund had an amount of Level 3 investments at the end of the reporting period that was meaningful in relation to its net assets. The amounts and reasons for all transfers in and out of each Level within the three-tier hierarchy are disclosed when the Fund had an amount of total transfers during the reporting period that was meaningful in relation to its net assets as of the end of the reporting period.

For the period ended January 31, 2017, there were no transfers between Levels 1, 2 and 3 for the Fund.

For more information with regard to significant accounting policies, see the most recent semi-annual or annual report filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

Portfolio Valuation – The Lateef Fund’s (the “Fund”) net asset value (“NAV”) is calculated once daily at the close of regular trading hours on the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) (typically 4:00 p.m. Eastern time) on each day the NYSE is open. Securities held by the Fund are valued using the closing price or the last sale price on a national securities exchange or the National Association of Securities Dealers Automatic Quotation System (“NASDAQ”) market system where they are primarily traded. Equity securities traded in the over-the-counter market are valued at their closing prices. If there were no transactions on that day, securities traded principally on an exchange or on NASDAQ will be valued at the mean of the last bid and ask prices prior to the market close. Fixed income securities having a remaining maturity of greater than 60 days are valued using an independent pricing service. Fixed income securities having a remaining maturity of 60 days or less are generally valued at amortized cost, provided such amount approximates fair value. Foreign securities are valued based on prices from the primary market in which they are traded and are translated from the local currency into U.S. dollars using current exchange rates. Investments in other open-end investment companies are valued based on the NAV of the investment companies (which may use fair value pricing as discussed in their prospectuses). If market quotations are unavailable or deemed unreliable, securities will be valued in accordance with procedures adopted by the FundVantage Trust’s Board of Trustees. Options are valued at last sale price. Relying on prices supplied by pricing services or dealers or using fair valuation may result in values that are higher or lower than the values used by other investment companies and investors to price the same investments. In the event that market quotes are not readily available, and the security or asset cannot be valued pursuant to one of the valuation methods, the value of the security or asset will be determined in good faith by the Adviser. The Trust has established a Valuation Committee which performs certain functions including the oversight of the Adviser’s fair valuation determinations.

Additionally, management evaluates the classification of Level 1 and Level 2 assets and liabilities on a quarterly basis for changes in listings or delistings on national exchanges.

For fair valuations using significant unobservable inputs, U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”) require the Fund to present a reconciliation of the beginning to ending balances for reported market values that presents changes attributable to total realized and unrealized gains or losses, purchase and sales, and transfers in and out of Level 3 during the period. Transfers in and out between Levels are based on values at the end of the period. U.S. GAAP also requires the Fund to disclose amounts and reasons for all transfers in and out of Level 1 and Level 2 fair value measurements. A reconciliation of Level 3 investments is presented only when the Fund had an amount of Level 3 investments at the end of the reporting period that was meaningful in relation to its net assets. The amounts and reasons for all transfers in and out of each Level within the three-tier hierarchy are disclosed when the Fund had an amount of total transfers during the reporting period that was meaningful in relation to its net assets as of the end of the reporting period.

For the period ended January 31, 2017, there were no transfers between Levels 1, 2 and 3 for the Fund.

For more information with regard to significant accounting policies, see the most recent semi-annual or annual report filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

Notes to the Quarterly Portfolio of Investments

(Unaudited)

A. Portfolio Valuation:

Portfolio Valuation – Pacific Capital Tax-Free Securities Fund and Pacific Capital Tax-Free Short Intermediate Securities Fund’s (each a “Fund” and together the “Funds”) net asset value (“NAV”) is calculated once daily at the close of regular trading hours on the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) (typically 4:00 p.m. Eastern time) on each day the NYSE is open. Securities held by each Fund are valued using the closing price or the last sale price on a national securities exchange or the National Association of Securities Dealers Automatic Quotation System (“NASDAQ”) market system where they are primarily traded. Equity securities traded in the over-the-counter market are valued at their closing prices. If there were no transactions on that day, securities traded principally on an exchange or on NASDAQ will be valued at the mean of the last bid and ask prices prior to the market close. Fixed income securities having a remaining maturity of greater than 60 days are valued using an independent pricing service. Fixed income securities having a remaining maturity of 60 days or less are generally valued at amortized cost, provided such amount approximates fair value. Debt securities are valued on the basis of broker quotations or valuations provided by a pricing service, which utilizes information with respect to recent sales, market transactions in comparable securities, quotations from dealers, and various relationships between securities in determining value. Valuations developed through pricing techniques may materially vary from the actual amounts realized upon sale of the securities. Foreign securities are valued based on prices from the primary market in which they are traded and are translated from the local currency into U.S. dollars using current exchange rates. Investments in other open-end investment companies are valued based on the NAV of such investment companies (which may use fair value pricing as discussed in their prospectuses). If market quotations are unavailable or deemed unreliable, securities will be valued in accordance with procedures adopted by the Trust’s Board of Trustees. Relying on prices supplied by pricing services or dealers or using fair valuation may result in values that are higher or lower than the values used by other investment companies and investors to price the same investments. In the event that market quotes are not readily available, and the security or asset cannot be valued pursuant to one of the valuation methods, the value of the security or asset will be determined in good faith by the Adviser. The Trust has established a Valuation Committee which performs certain functions including the oversight of the Adviser’s fair valuation determinations.

Fair Value Measurements – the inputs and valuation techniques used to measure fair value of the Funds’ investments are summarized into three levels as described in the hierarchy below:

 

   

Level 1 — quoted prices in active markets for identical securities;

 

   

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

 

   

Level 3 — significant unobservable inputs (including the Funds’ own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments).

PACIFIC CAPITAL FUNDS

Notes to the Quarterly Portfolio of Investments (Continued)

The fair value of a Fund’s bonds is generally based on quotes received from brokers of independent pricing services. Bonds with quotes that are based on actual trades with a sufficient level of activity on or near the measurement date are classified as Level 2 assets.

The inputs or methodology 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, as of January 31, 2017, in valuing each Fund’s investments carried at fair value:

 

                   Level 2         
                   Other      Level 3

At the end of each quarter, management evaluates the classification of Levels 1, 2 and 3 assets and liabilities. Various factors are considered, such as changes in liquidity from the prior reporting period; whether or not a broker is willing to execute at the quoted price; the depth and consistency of prices from third party pricing services; and the existence of contemporaneous, observable trades in the market. Additionally, management evaluates the classification of Level 1 and Level 2 assets and liabilities on a quarterly basis for changes in listings or delistings on national exchanges.

Due to the inherent uncertainty of determining the fair value of investments that do not have a readily available market value, the fair value of a Fund’s investments may fluctuate from period to period. Additionally, the fair value of investments may differ significantly from the values that would have been used had a ready market existed for such investments and may differ materially from the values a Fund may ultimately realize. Further, such investments may be subject to legal and other restrictions on resale or otherwise less liquid than publicly traded securities.

PACIFIC CAPITAL FUNDS

Notes to the Quarterly Portfolio of Investments (Continued)

January 31, 2017

(Unaudited)

 

For fair valuations using significant unobservable inputs, U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”) require the Funds to present a reconciliation of the beginning to ending balances for reported market values that presents changes attributable to total realized and unrealized gains or losses, purchase and sales, and transfers in and out of Level 3 during the period. Transfers in and out between Levels are based on values at the end of the period. U.S. GAAP also requires the Funds to disclose amounts and reasons for all transfers in and out of Level 1 and Level 2 fair value measurements. A reconciliation of Level 3 investments is presented only when the Funds have an amount of Level 3 investments at the end of the reporting period that was meaningful in relation to its net assets. The amounts and reasons for all transfers in and out of each Level within the three-tier hierarchy are disclosed when the Funds have an amount of total transfers during the reporting period that was meaningful in relation to its net assets as of the end of the reporting period.

A. Portfolio Valuation:

Portfolio Valuation – The Polen Growth Fund, Polen Global Growth Fund and Polen International Growth Fund (each a “Fund” and together the “Funds”) net asset value (“NAV”) is calculated once daily at the close of regular trading hours on the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) (typically 4:00 p.m. Eastern time) on each day the NYSE is open. Securities held by the Funds are valued using the closing price or the last sale price on a national securities exchange or the National Association of Securities Dealers Automatic Quotation System (“NASDAQ”) market system where they are primarily traded. The Funds’ equity securities listed on any national exchange market system will be valued at the last sale price. Equity securities traded in the over-the-counter market are valued at their closing prices. If there were no transactions on that day, securities traded principally on an exchange or on NASDAQ will be valued at the mean of the last bid and ask prices prior to the market close. Prices for equity securities normally are supplied by an independent pricing service approved by the FundVantage Trust’s Board of Trustees (“Board of Trustees”). Fixed income securities are valued based on market quotations, which are furnished by an independent pricing service. Fixed income securities having a remaining maturity of 60 days or less are generally valued at amortized cost, provided such amount approximates fair value. Any assets held by the Fund that are denominated in foreign currencies are valued daily in U.S. dollars at the foreign currency exchange rates that are prevailing at the time that the Fund determines the daily NAV per share. Foreign securities may trade on weekends or other days when the Fund does not calculate NAV. As a result, the market value of these investments may change on days when you cannot buy or sell shares of each Fund. Foreign securities are valued based on prices from the primary market in which they are traded and are translated from the local currency into U.S. dollars using current exchange rates. Forward exchange contracts are valued at the forward rate. Investments in any mutual fund are valued at their respective NAVs as determined by those mutual funds each business day (which may use fair value pricing as disclosed in their prospectuses). Securities that do not have a readily available current market value or that have been subject to a significant event occurring between the time of the last sales price and the close of the NYSE are valued in good faith under the direction of the Board of Trustees. The Board of Trustees has adopted methods for valuing securities and other assets in circumstances where market quotes are not readily available and has delegated to the Adviser the responsibility for applying the valuation methods. Relying on prices supplied by pricing services or dealers or using fair valuation may result in values that are higher or lower than the values used by other investment companies and investors to price the same investments. In the event that market quotes are not readily available, and the security or asset cannot be valued pursuant to one of the valuation methods, the value of the security or asset will be determined in good faith by the Adviser. The Trust has established a Valuation Committee which performs certain functions including the oversight of the Adviser’s fair valuation determinations.

Securities listed on certain non-U.S. exchanges that close at a substantially earlier time than the NYSE (such as most European or Asian exchanges) are fair valued daily by an independent fair value pricing service approved by the Board of Trustees. The fair valuations for these securities may not be the same as quoted or published prices of the securities on their primary markets. Securities for which

POLEN GROWTH FUNDS

Notes to the Quarterly Portfolio of Investments (Continued)

January 31, 2017

(Unaudited)

 

daily fair value prices from the independent fair value pricing service are not available are generally valued at the last quoted sale price at the close of an exchange on which the security is traded. Values of foreign securities, currencies, and other assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollars at the exchange rate of said currencies against the U.S. dollar, as of the time of valuation, as provided by an independent pricing service approved by the Board of Trustees.

Fair Value Measurements The inputs and valuations techniques used to measure fair value of the Funds’ investments are summarized into three levels as described in the hierarchy below:

 

•    Level 1 —  

quoted prices in active markets for identical securities;

•    Level 2 —  

other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.); and

•    Level 3 —  

significant unobservable inputs (including the Funds’ 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.

Significant events (such as movement in the U.S. securities market, or other regional and local developments) may occur between the time that foreign markets close (where the security is principally traded) and the time that the Polen Global Growth Fund and Polen International Growth Fund each calculates its NAV (generally, the close of the NYSE) that may impact the value of securities traded in these foreign markets. As a result, the Polen Global Growth Fund and Polen International Growth Fund each fair values foreign securities using an independent pricing service which considers the correlation of the trading patterns of the foreign security to the intraday trading in the U.S. markets for investments such as American Depositary Receipts, financial futures, exchange traded funds and certain indexes as well as prices for similar securities. Such fair valuations are categorized as Level 2 in the hierarchy.

The following is a summary of the inputs used, as of January 31, 2017, in valuing the Funds’ investments carried at fair value:

Various factors are considered, such as changes in liquidity from the prior reporting period; whether or not a broker is willing to execute at the quoted price; the depth and consistency of prices from third party pricing services; and the existence of contemporaneous, observable trades in the market. Additionally, management evaluates the classification of Level 1 and Level 2 assets and liabilities on a quarterly basis for changes in listings or delistings on national exchanges.

Due to the inherent uncertainty of determining the fair value of investments that do not have a readily available market value, the fair value of the Funds’ investments may fluctuate from period to period. Additionally, the fair value of investments may differ significantly from the values that would have been used had a ready market existed for such investments and may differ materially from the values each Fund may ultimately realize. Further, such investments may be subject to legal and other restrictions on resale or otherwise less liquid than publicly traded securities.

For fair valuations using significant unobservable inputs, U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”) require each Fund to present a reconciliation of the beginning to ending balances for reported market values that presents changes attributable to total realized and unrealized gains or losses, purchase and sales, and transfers in and out of Level 3 during the period. Transfers in and out between Levels are based on values at the end of the period. U.S. GAAP also requires each Fund to disclose amounts and reasons for all transfers in and out of Level 1 and Level 2 fair value measurements. A reconciliation of Level 3 investments is presented only when each Fund had an amount of Level 3 investments at the end of the reporting period that was meaningful in relation to its net assets. The amounts and reasons for all transfers in and out of each Level within the three-tier hierarchy are disclosed when each Fund had an amount of total transfers during the reporting period that was meaningful in relation to its net assets as of the end of the reporting period.

For the period ended January 31, 2017, there were no transfers between Levels 1, 2 and 3 for the Funds.

A. Portfolio Valuation:

Portfolio Valuation – The Private Capital Management Value Fund’s (the “Fund”) net asset value (“NAV”) is calculated once daily at the close of regular trading hours on the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) (typically 4:00 p.m. Eastern time) on each day the NYSE is open. Securities held by the Fund are valued using the closing price or the last sale price on a national securities exchange or the National Association of Securities Dealers Automatic Quotation System (“NASDAQ”) market system where they are primarily traded. Equity securities traded in the over-the-counter market are valued at their closing prices. If there were no transactions on that day, securities traded principally on an exchange or on NASDAQ will be valued at the mean of the last bid and ask prices prior to the market close. Fixed income securities having a remaining maturity of greater than 60 days are valued using an independent pricing service. Fixed income securities having a remaining maturity of 60 days or less are generally valued at amortized cost, provided such amount approximates fair value. Foreign securities are valued based on prices from the primary market in which they are traded and are translated from the local currency into U.S. dollars using current exchange rates. Investments in other open-end investment companies are valued based on the NAV of the investment companies (which may use fair value pricing as discussed in their prospectuses). If market quotations are unavailable or deemed unreliable, securities will be valued in accordance with procedures adopted by the FundVantage Trust’s Board of Trustees. Relying on prices supplied by pricing services or dealers or using fair valuation may result in values that are higher or lower than the values used by other investment companies and investors to price the same investments. In the event that market quotes are not readily available, and the security or asset cannot be valued pursuant to one of the valuation methods, the value of the security or asset will be determined in good faith by the Adviser. The Trust has established a Valuation Committee which performs certain functions including the oversight of the Adviser’s fair valuation determinations.

Fair Value Measurements – The inputs and valuations techniques used to measure fair value of the Fund’s investments are summarized into three levels as described in the hierarchy below:

 

•  Level 1 —

 

quoted prices in active markets for identical securities;

•  Level 2 —

 

other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.); and

•  Level 3 —

 

significant unobservable inputs (including the Fund’s own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments).

The inputs or methodology used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities.

A reconciliation of Level 3 investments is presented only when the Fund had an amount of Level 3 investments at the end of the reporting period that was meaningful in relation to its net assets. The amounts and reasons for all transfers in and out of each Level within the three-tier hierarchy are disclosed when the Fund had an amount of total transfers during the reporting period that was meaningful in relation to its net assets as of the end of the reporting period.

For the period ended January 31, 2017, there were no transfers between Levels 1, 2 and 3 for the Fund.

A. Portfolio Valuation

Portfolio Valuation — The Shelton International Select Equity Fund, (formerly WHV International Equity Fund’s), (the “Fund”) net asset value (“NAV”) is calculated once daily at the close of regular trading hours on the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) (typically 4:00 p.m. Eastern time) on each day the NYSE is open. Securities held by the Fund are valued using the closing price or the last sale price on a national securities exchange or the National Association of Securities Dealers Automatic Quotation System (“NASDAQ”) market system where they are primarily traded. The Fund’s equity securities listed on any national or foreign exchange market system will be valued at the last sale price. Equity securities traded in the over-the-counter market are valued at their closing sale or official closing price. If there were no transactions on that day, securities traded principally on an exchange will be valued at the mean of the last bid and ask prices prior to the market close. Prices for equity securities normally are supplied by an independent pricing service approved by the FundVantage Trust’s Board of Trustees. Fixed income securities are valued based on market quotations, which are furnished by an independent pricing service. Fixed income securities having remaining maturities of 60 days or less are generally valued at amortized cost, provided such amount approximates fair value. Any assets held by the Fund that are denominated in foreign currencies are valued daily in U.S. dollars at the foreign currency exchange rates that are prevailing at the time that the Fund determines the daily NAV per share. Foreign securities may trade on weekends or other days when the Fund does not calculate NAV. As a result, the market value of these investments may change on days when you cannot buy or sell shares of the Fund. Investments in other open-end investment companies are valued based on the NAV of such investment companies (which may use fair value pricing as disclosed in their prospectuses). Securities that do not have a readily available current market value are valued in accordance with procedures adopted by the Trust’s Board of Trustees. The Board of Trustees has adopted methods for valuing securities and other assets in circumstances where market quotes are not readily available and has delegated to Shelton Capital Management (“Shelton” or the “Adviser”) the responsibility for applying the valuation methods. Relying on prices supplied by pricing services or dealers or using fair valuation may result in values that are higher or lower than the values used by other investment companies and investors to price the same investments. In the event that market quotes are not readily available, and the security or asset cannot be valued pursuant to one of the valuation methods, the value of the security or asset will be determined in good faith by the Adviser. The Trust has established a Valuation Committee which performs certain functions including the oversight of the Adviser’s fair valuation determinations.

Fair Value Measurements — The inputs and valuations techniques used to measure fair value of the Fund’s investments are summarized into three levels as described in the hierarchy below:

 

•    Level 1 —  

quoted prices in active markets for identical securities;

•    Level 2 —  

other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.); and

•    Level 3 —  

significant unobservable inputs (including the Fund’s own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments).

(Unaudited)

The inputs or methodology used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities.

Securities listed on a non-U.S. exchange are generally fair valued daily by an independent fair value pricing service approved by the Board of Trustees and categorized as Level 2 investments within the hierarchy. The fair valuations for these securities may not be the same as quoted or published prices of the securities on their primary markets. Securities for which daily fair value prices from the independent fair value pricing service are not available are generally valued at the last quoted sale price at the close of an exchange on which the security is traded and categorized as Level 1 investments within the hierarchy. Values of foreign securities, currencies, and other assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollars at the exchange rate of said currencies against the U.S. dollar, as of Valuation Time, as provided by an independent pricing service approved by the Board of Trustees.

At the end of each quarter, management evaluates the classification of Levels 1, 2 and 3 assets and liabilities. Various factors are considered, such as changes in liquidity from the prior reporting period; whether or not a broker is willing to execute at the quoted price; the depth and consistency of prices from third party pricing services; and the existence of contemporaneous, observable trades in the market. Additionally, management evaluates the classification of Level 1 and Level 2 assets and liabilities on a quarterly basis for changes in listings or delistings on national exchanges.

Due to the inherent uncertainty of determining the fair value of investments that do not have a readily available market value, the fair value of the Fund’s investments may fluctuate from period to period. Additionally, the fair value of investments may differ significantly from the values that would have been used had a ready market existed for such investments and may differ materially from the values the Fund may ultimately realize. Further, such investments may be subject to legal and other restrictions on resale or otherwise less liquid than publicly traded securities.

 For fair valuations using significant unobservable inputs, accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) require the Fund to present a reconciliation of the beginning to ending balances for reported market values that presents changes attributable to total realized and unrealized gains or losses, purchase and sales, and transfers in and out of Level 3 during the period. Transfers in and out between Levels are based on values at the end of the period. U.S. GAAP also requires the Fund to disclose amounts and reasons for all transfers in and out of Level 1 and Level 2 fair value measurements. A reconciliation of Level 3 investments is presented only when the Fund had an amount of Level 3 investments at the end of the reporting period that was meaningful in relation to its net assets. The amounts and reasons for all transfers in and out of each Level within the three-tier hierarchy are disclosed when the Fund had an amount of total transfers during the reporting period that was meaningful in relation to its net assets as of the end of the reporting period.

SHELTON TACTICAL CREDIT FUND

(formerly WHV/Acuity Tactical Credit Long/Short Fund)

Notes to the Quarterly Portfolio of Investments

January 31, 2017

(Unaudited)

A. Portfolio Valuation

Portfolio Valuation — The Shelton Tactical Credit Fund, (formerly WHV/Acuity Tactical Credit Long/Short Fund’s) (the “Fund”) net asset value (“NAV”) is calculated once daily at the close of regular trading hours on the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) (typically 4:00 p.m. Eastern time) on each business day the NYSE is open. Securities held by the Fund are valued at their last sale price on the NYSE on the day the security is valued. Lacking any sales on such day, the security will be valued at the mean between the last asked price and the last bid price prior to the market close. Securities listed on other exchanges (and not subject to restriction against sale by the Fund on such exchanges) will be similarly valued, using quotations on the exchange on which the security is traded most extensively. Unlisted securities that are quoted on the National Association of Securities Dealers National Market System, for which there have been sales of such securities on such day, shall be valued at the official closing price on such system on the day the security is valued. If there are no such sales on such day, the value shall be the mean between the last asked price and the last bid price prior to market close. The value of such securities quoted on the National Association of Securities Dealers Automatic Quotation System (“NASDAQ”) market system, but not listed on the National Market System, shall be valued at the mean between closing asked price and the closing bid price. Unlisted securities that are not quoted on NASDAQ and for which over-the-counter market quotations are readily available will be valued at the mean between the current bid and asked prices for such security in the over-the-counter market. Fixed income securities are valued based on market quotations, which are furnished by an independent pricing service. Fixed income securities having a remaining maturity of 60 days or less are generally valued at amortized cost, provided such amount approximates market value. Debt securities are valued on the basis of broker quotations or valuations provided by a pricing service, which utilizes information with respect to recent sales, market transactions in comparable securities, quotations from dealers, and various relationships between securities in determining value. Valuations developed through pricing techniques may materially vary from the actual amounts realized upon sale of the securities. Investments in other open-end investment companies are valued based on the NAV of the investment companies (which may use fair value pricing as discussed in their prospectuses). If market quotations are unavailable or deemed unreliable, securities will be valued in accordance with procedures adopted by the FundVantage Trust’s Board of Trustees. Options are valued at last sale price. Relying on prices supplied by pricing services or dealers or using fair valuation may result in values that are higher or lower than the values used by other investment companies and investors to price the same investments. In the event that market quotes are not readily available, and the security or asset cannot be valued pursuant to one of the valuation methods, the value of the security or asset will be determined in good faith by the Adviser. The Trust has established a Valuation Committee which performs certain functions including the oversight of the Adviser’s fair valuation determinations.

Fair Value Measurements — The inputs and valuations techniques used to measure fair value of the Fund’s investments are summarized into three levels as described in the hierarchy below:

 

•    Level 1 —  

quoted prices in active markets for identical securities;

•    Level 2 —  

other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.); and

•    Level 3 —  

significant unobservable inputs (including the Fund’s own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments).

The fair value of the Fund’s bonds are generally based on quotes received from brokers of independent pricing services. Bonds with quotes that are based on actual trades with a sufficient level of activity on or near the measurement date are classified as Level 2 assets.

The inputs or methodology used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities.

At the end of each quarter, management evaluates the classification of Levels 1, 2 and 3 assets and liabilities. Various factors are considered, such as changes in liquidity from the prior reporting period; whether or not a broker is willing to execute at the quoted price; the depth and consistency of prices from third party pricing services; and the existence of contemporaneous, observable trades in the market. Additionally, management evaluates the classification of Level 1 and Level 2 assets and liabilities on a quarterly basis for changes in listings or delistings on national exchanges.

Due to the inherent uncertainty of determining the fair value of investments that do not have a readily available market value, the fair value of the Fund’s investments may fluctuate from period to period. Additionally, the fair value of investments may differ significantly from the values that would have been used had a ready market existed for such investments and may differ materially from the values the Fund may ultimately realize. Further, such investments may be subject to legal and other restrictions on resale or are otherwise less liquid than publicly traded securities.

For fair valuations using significant unobservable inputs, U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”) require the Fund to present a reconciliation of the beginning to ending balances for reported market values that presents changes attributable to total realized and unrealized gains or losses, purchase and sales, and transfers in and out of Level 3 during the period. Transfers in and out between Levels are based on values at the end of the period. U.S. GAAP also requires the Fund to disclose amounts and reasons for all transfers in and out of Level 1 and Level 2 fair value measurements. A reconciliation of Level 3 investments is presented only when the Fund had an amount of Level 3 investments at the end of the reporting period that was meaningful in relation to its net assets. The amounts and reasons for all transfers in and out of each Level within the three-tier hierarchy are disclosed when the Fund had an amount of total transfers during the reporting period that was meaningful in relation to its net assets as of the end of the reporting period.

For the period ended January 31, 2017, there were no transfers between Levels 1, 2 and 3 for the Funds.

Short Sales — A Fund’s short sales are subject to special risks. A short sale involves the sale by the Fund of a security that it does not own with the hope of purchasing the same security at a later date at a lower price. If the price of the security has increased during this time, then the Fund will incur a loss equal to the increase in price from the time that the short sale was entered into plus any premiums and interest paid to the third party. Therefore, short sales involve the risk that losses may be exaggerated, potentially losing more money than the actual cost of the investment. Also, there is the risk that the third party to the short sale may fail to honor its contract terms, causing a loss to the Fund. There can be no assurance that the Fund will be able to close out a short position at any particular time or at an acceptable price.

Notes to the Quarterly Portfolio of Investments (Continued)

January 31, 2017

(Unaudited)

Although a Fund’s gain is limited to the amount at which it sold a security short, its potential loss is unlimited. The Fund will comply with guidelines established by the Security and Exchange Commission and other applicable regulatory bodies with respect to coverage of short sales.

Options Purchased — The Fund is subject to equity and other risk exposure in the normal course of pursuing its investment objectives. The Fund purchases option contracts. This transaction is used to hedge against the values of equities. The risk associated with purchasing an option is that the Fund pays a premium whether or not the option is exercised. Additionally, the Fund bears the risk of loss of premium and change in market value should the counterparty not perform under the contract. Put and call options are accounted for in the same manner as other securities owned. The cost of securities acquired through the exercise of call options is increased by the premiums paid. The proceeds from securities sold through the exercise of put options are decreased by the premiums paid.

Options Written — The Fund is subject to equity and other risk exposure in the normal course of pursuing its investment objectives and may enter into options written to hedge the values of equities. Such options may relate to particular securities or domestic stock indices, and may or may not be listed on a domestic securities exchange or issued by the Options Clearing Corporation. An option contract is a commitment that gives the purchaser of the contract the right, but not the obligation, to buy or sell an underlying asset at a specific price on or before a specified future date. On the other hand, the writer of an option contract is obligated, upon the exercise of the option, to buy or sell an underlying asset at a specific price on or before a specified future date. The maximum risk of loss associated with writing put options is limited to the exercised fair value of the option contract. The maximum risk of loss associated with writing call options is potentially unlimited. The Fund also has the additional risk of being unable to enter into a closing transaction at an acceptable price if a liquid secondary market does not exist. The Fund also may write over-the-counter (“OTC”) options where completing the obligation depends upon the credit standing of the other party. Option contracts also involve the risk that they may result in loss due to unanticipated developments in market conditions or other causes. Written options are initially recorded as liabilities to the extent of premiums received and subsequently marked to market to reflect the current value of the option written. Gains or losses are realized when the option transaction expires or closes. When an option is exercised, the proceeds on sales for a written call option or the purchase cost for a written put option is adjusted by the amount of the premium received. Listed option contracts present minimal counterparty credit risk since they are exchange traded and the exchange’s clearinghouse, as counterparty to all exchange-traded options, guarantees the options against default. The Fund’s maximum risk of loss from counterparty credit risk related to OTC option contracts is limited to the premium paid. As of January 31, 2017, all of the Fund’s written options are exchange-traded options.

The Fund had transactions in written options for the period ended January 31, 2017 as follows:

     Number of Contracts     Premium  

Outstanding, April 30, 2016

     350                $  16,785

Notes to the Quarterly Portfolio of Investments (Concluded)

January 31, 2017

(Unaudited)

Payment-In-Kind Securities — The Fund may invest in payment-in-kind securities (“PIK”). PIKs give the issuer the option at each interest payment date of making interest payments in either cash or additional debt securities. Those additional debt securities usually have the same terms, including maturity dates, interest rates, and associated risks as the original bonds. For the period ended January 31, 2017, there were no in-kind payments received by the Fund with respect to PIK securities.

Debt Investment Risk — Debt investments are affected primarily by the financial condition of the companies or other entities that have issued them and by changes in interest rates. There is a risk that an issuer of a Fund’s debt investments may not be able to meet its financial obligations (e.g., may not be able to make principal and/or interest payments when they are due or otherwise default on other financial terms) and/or go bankrupt. Securities such as high-yield/high-risk bonds, e.g., bonds with low credit ratings by Moody’s (Ba or lower) or Standard & Poor’s (BB and lower) or if unrated are of comparable quality as determined by the manager, are especially subject to credit risk during periods of economic uncertainty or during economic downturns and are more likely to default on their interest and/or principal payments than higher rated securities. Debt investments may be affected by changes in interest rates. Debt investments with longer durations tend to be more sensitive to changes in interest rates, making them more volatile than debt investments with shorter durations or floating or adjustable interest rates. The value of debt investments may fall when interest rates rise.

For more information with regard to significant accounting policies, see the most recent semi-annual or annual report filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

(Unaudited)

A. Portfolio Valuation:

Portfolio Valuation – The SkyBridge Dividend Value Fund’s (the “Fund”) net asset value (“NAV”) is calculated once daily at the close of regular trading hours on the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) (typically 4:00 p.m. Eastern time) on each day the NYSE is open. Securities held by the Fund are valued using the closing price or the last sale price on a national securities exchange or the National Association of Securities Dealers Automatic Quotation System (“NASDAQ”) market system where they are primarily traded. Equity securities traded in the over-the-counter market are valued at their closing prices. If there were no transactions on that day, securities traded principally on an exchange or on NASDAQ will be valued at the mean of the last bid and ask prices prior to the market close. Fixed income securities having a remaining maturity of greater than 60 days are valued using an independent pricing service. Fixed income securities having a remaining maturity of 60 days or less are generally valued at amortized cost, provided such amount approximates fair value. Investments in other open-end investment companies are valued based on the NAV of the investment companies (which may use fair value pricing as discussed in their prospectuses). If market quotations are unavailable or deemed unreliable, securities will be valued in accordance with procedures adopted by the FundVantage Trust’s Board of Trustees. Relying on prices supplied by pricing services or dealers or using fair valuation may result in values that are higher or lower than the values used by other investment companies and investors to price the same investments. In the event that market quotes are not readily available, and the security or asset cannot be valued pursuant to one of the valuation methods, the value of the security or asset will be determined in good faith by the Adviser. The Trust has established a Valuation Committee which performs certain functions including the oversight of the Adviser’s fair valuation determinations.

Fair Value Measurements – The inputs and valuation techniques used to measure fair value of the Fund’s investments are summarized into three levels as described in the hierarchy below:

  

Level 1 — quoted prices in active markets for identical securities;

  

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

At the end of each quarter, management evaluates the classification of Levels 1, 2 and 3 assets and liabilities. Various factors are considered, such as changes in liquidity from the prior reporting period; whether or not a broker is willing to execute at the quoted price; the depth and consistency of prices from third party pricing services; and the existence of contemporaneous, observable trades in the market. Additionally, management evaluates the classification of Level 1 and Level 2 assets and liabilities on a quarterly basis for changes in listings or delistings on national exchanges.

Due to the inherent uncertainty of determining the fair value of investments that do not have a readily available market value, the fair value of the Fund’s investments may fluctuate from period to period. Additionally, the fair value of investments may differ significantly from the values that would have been used had a ready market existed for such investments and may differ materially from the values the Fund may ultimately realize. Further, such investments may be subject to legal and other restrictions on resale or otherwise less liquid than publicly traded securities.

For fair valuations using significant unobservable inputs, U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”) require the Fund to present a reconciliation of the beginning to ending balances for reported market values that presents changes attributable to total realized and unrealized gains or losses, purchase and sales, and transfers in and out of Level 3 during the period. Transfers in and out between Levels are based on values at the end of the period. U.S. GAAP also requires the Fund to disclose amounts and reasons for all transfers in and out of Level 1 and Level 2 fair value measurements. A reconciliation of Level 3 investments is presented only when the Fund had an amount of Level 3 investments at the end of the reporting period that was meaningful in relation to its net assets. The amounts and reasons for all transfers in and out of each Level within the three-tier hierarchy are disclosed when the Fund had an amount of total transfers during the reporting period that was meaningful in relation to its net assets as of the end of the reporting period.

For the period ended January 31, 2017, there were no transfers between Levels 1, 2 and 3 for the Fund.

For more information with regard to significant accounting policies, see the most recent semi-annual or annual report filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

  (b)

There were no changes in the registrant’s internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 30a-3(d) under the 1940 Act (17 CFR 270.30a-3(d))) that occurred during the registrant’s last fiscal quarter that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the registrant’s internal control over financial reporting.
