LETTER TO SHAREHOLDERS (Unaudited)   

 

Dear Shareholders:

The rollercoaster that has impacted the markets, both fixed income and equity, over these past several months has proven to be quite a challenge, both during the downturn and the subsequent recovery. Just reflecting back on the number of “100-year” events that have roiled our lives, the world economies and the markets over this short time span is daunting. Add in the year-to-date jobless numbers, the on-again off-again quarantines and the daily reports of the COVID-19 caseload and deaths, and the past several months have blunted our perspective when it comes to analyzing today’s headlines.

As a new normal has evolved, most companies were caught off guard, especially those tied to “brick and mortar” storefronts. Commerce continued but reflected a change from commuting downtown and shopping at the mall to living, vacationing, shopping and working from home. Air travel was grounded, as was dining out and quick trips to the store, while people accelerated or began home deliveries, web-based meetings and live streaming. This sudden social transition wasn’t immediately understood by investors until after the March 23 lows, but early into the second quarter the equity markets began rallying around the companies that were the beneficiaries of a new industrial revolution—the newly decentralized workforce. These trends were and continue to be the primary drivers providing underlying support for the markets to date.

Whether these trends continue over the balance of the year remains to be seen, creating uncertainty which adds to investor stress and market volatility. The primary unknown, with a global impact, is the potential for and timing of a successful vaccine, which could allow some normalcy to return to lives, economies and markets. There are daily headlines on vaccine trials amid growing case counts, with the latter adding to concerns of another shutdown. Overseas there are similar virus spikes, but economies in Asia and Europe are slowly showing evidence of a recovery. At home, the “green shoots” that are providing some reassurance today now include a bounce-back in housing, auto manufacturing, on-line retail sales and technology-centric corporate earnings.

Over the next several months, we expect to gain more clarity in terms of the economic recovery, the longer term impact of changes in behavior and the advent of what appears to be a low interest rate environment here and across the developed economies of the world. As economic data stabilize and policy changes take root, we will also be weighing the impact of the rapidly approaching elections. The political narrative will most likely heat up, as will the opinions on which administration should be leading the country out of the economic shutdown As I’ve mentioned in past shareholder letters, Frost Investment Advisors will continue to provide a steady hand during these periods of uncertainty, with the knowledge that opportunity is presented at times like these.

We appreciate your continued support and confidence in our team.

MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND FUND PERFORMANCE (Unaudited)    FROST GROWTH EQUITY FUND

 

Market Review

Equity markets completed a volatile twelve month period with surprisingly solid overall gains underpinned by accommodative monetary and fiscal policy initiatives which helped to partially offset the economic disruption caused by Covid-19. Growth stocks significantly outperformed value stocks, as many companies in the growth index have seen strengthening business trends as a result of the pandemic. For example, within the Fund, Amazon and Netflix are the two most obvious beneficiaries. But also companies like PayPal, Home Depot, Costco, and Electronic Arts have all seen underlying growth rates accelerate over the past several months.

Turning to the Fiscal Year 2020 period, the Frost Growth Equity Fund (Institutional share class) returned 27.91%. The Fund did well relatively to its large cap growth peers but underperformed its benchmark, the Russell 1000 Growth Index, which returned 29.84% over the same time period. Most actively managed, diversified growth funds underperformed the Russell 1000 Growth Index given how concentrated the benchmark has become with its top holdings, amid rules that prevent diversified mutual funds from holding a similarly concentrated portfolio.

The relative underperformance during the fiscal year was primarily driven by stock selection in the Technology sector, as well as the drag from cash holdings in the Fund. During such a strong absolute return period even modest amounts of cash can be a significant detractor to relative performance. The underperformance in the Technology sector was largely the result of our underweight to Apple, which increased 101.9% during our fiscal year period. More specifically, the underweight in Apple represented a 281 basis point headwind to the Fund’s return relative to the benchmark’s return. Apple’s weighting in the Russell Growth Index at the end of July was 11.1%, whereas the weighting in the Fund was 6.3%. We admire Apple a great deal, having held the stock for 14+ years in the Fund, and have the name as one of our top 5 holdings. But we have don’t think the growth profile of the company relative to the valuation on the stock justifies carrying the position at 11% in order to match the benchmark.

Positive contributors to performance during the fiscal year were an underweight allocation to the poorly performing Industrials and Consumer Staples sectors, an overweight allocation to the Consumer Discretionary sector, and strong stock selection in the Communication Services, Consumer Staples, and Real Estate sectors.

Looking forward, we believe the pandemic is likely to have a lasting impact on business and consumer behavior going forward. Many of these trends were already in place, but have accelerated and/or been pulled forward as a result of Covid-19. Many growth companies entered this environment already advantaged, and have only become more so. We think the next expansion will be profoundly impacted by the role of technology in a post-pandemic world. Our focus on structurally attractive, competitively differentiated businesses led by strong management teams should serve us well in this time of change and uncertainty.

MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND FUND PERFORMANCE (Unaudited)    FROST VALUE EQUITY FUND

 

The investment objective of the Frost Value Equity Fund (the “Fund”) is to deliver a total return above that of its benchmark, and secondarily to outperform other actively managed large cap value funds in the Fund’s peer group. The Fund attempts to achieve these objectives by identifying and investing in high-quality companies which offer underappreciated earnings and free cash flow growth. Over time we expect other investors will recognize the long-term potential of the portfolio’s individual investments which will result in enhanced return for the Fund.

Market Overview:

Fiscal 2020 proved to be an epic year for investors in terms of return volatility. The year began with the Russell 1000 Value index rising approximately 10% to reach an all-time high in January, followed by a near 40% retreat in 2 months – one of the most intense bear markets in history. The fear of the economic fallout from the Covid-19 pandemic caused sector after sector to implode, until the market bottomed on March 23, 2020. From the March bottom through July 31, 2020 the market recovered 35%, as global central banks and politicians around the world unleashed a tsunami of monetary and fiscal policies in an effort to calm financial markets and provide economic stimulus.

The technology, financial services, industrials and utilities sectors outdistanced the Russell 1000 Value benchmark during the first six months of the fiscal year. Improving macroeconomic data and declining 10-year Treasury yields were the key factors driving this outperformance. All of the index sectors retreated during the panic sell off in March, with energy experiencing the most severe deterioration. There was a change in sector leadership in the four months following the March bottom. Healthcare, technology, materials and consumer staples were the best performing sectors during this time period. Not surprising, the Covid and work-from-home related sectors were the largest beneficiaries, as pharmaceutical and medical equipment companies accelerated their efforts to develop a vaccine, and consumers migrated to online versus in-person shopping to restock their pantries. Value stocks underperformed growth stocks as investors shunned economically sensitive stocks like banks and energy companies, in favor of mega cap technology and hyper growth stocks. Additionally, the largest market cap stocks garnered an increasing percentage of ETF inflows creating a virtuous feedback loop. While the underperformance of value stocks at times feels eternal, we continue to believe that valuation will matter to investors again at some point.

Performance and Highlights:

For the one-year period ending July 31, 2020, the Frost Value Equity Fund (Institutional Share Class) saw a performance decline of 8.36% versus the Russell 1000 Value benchmark return of -6.01%. The communication services, technology and real estate sectors were positive contributors to the Fund’s total return. This was more than offset by weak performance within the remaining sectors. While the Fund continued to broaden sector exposure, stock selection proved challenging as several portfolio holdings were unduly punished as a result of company specific issues.

To reduce portfolio concentration, the Fund expanded its holdings to 57 positions. This past year we added 19 new companies and eliminated 14. The new additions included Activision Blizzard, Applied Materials, Berkshire Hathaway, Bristol-Myers Squibb, Constellation Brands, CVS, Elanco, Entergy, Evergy, Expedia, Healthpeak Properties, L3Harris, Philip Morris, P&G, Progressive, Qualcomm, State Street, Sysco, and Union Pacific. The 14 positions eliminated from the portfolio were the result of the stock either achieving our targeted valuation or experiencing an investment thesis impairment.

Over the past year the contribution from new portfolio holdings was additive to the Fund’s total return. On average, the 19 new portfolio holdings outperformed the fund’s benchmark by roughly 8%. We are encouraged by these results. As usual, we remain vigilant to any thesis degradation, and will adjust our positions when prudent.

The fund begins fiscal 2021 with securities offering what we believe is the potential for attractive future returns. We understand that market volatility can result in periods of relative underperformance, yet, we are optimistic about the long-term potential of our current holdings. Our process systematically invests in businesses with improving earnings and cash flow at levels not reflected by current market valuations. We concentrate our holdings into those companies we expect will increase in value as other investors recognize their enhanced earnings power.

MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND FUND PERFORMANCE (Unaudited)    FIXED INCOME FUNDS

 

Market Review

US Bond Market

The US bond market turned in one of its best overall total return performances in some time over the past year. While market volatility spiked early in 2020 during the onset of the Covid-19 pandemic, the bond market recovered quickly and subsequently generated significant returns as a result of a material decline in yields and relatively stable credit spreads. The Bloomberg Barclays US Universal Bond Index generated a return of 9.45% for the year, with the smaller but better known Bloomberg Barclays US Aggregate Bond Index generating an even better 10.12%. Volatility in the credit markets spiked as the US economy entered recession in the first quarter and into the second, but both the rates and credit sectors delivered positive returns. It did, however, require rather unprecedented levels of monetary action by the major central banks, including the US Federal Reserve, to support the credit markets. But, while returns were clearly not a straight line up, this past year has delivered large, and largely unexpected, gains.

US Treasury Securities

The US Treasury market produced one of its best twelve-month periods in many years over the 2019 fiscal year. With yields across the intermediate and long-end of the yield curve beginning this fiscal year at close to record lows, the year began with poor prospects for expected returns in the Treasury sector for 2020. With this as a starting point it should be of little surprise that during the first few months of the year (from approximately August through December of 2019) the US Treasury market saw yields rise across the yield curve, and as a result the sector produced the worst performance across the entire US bond market. However, as the Covid-19 pandemic began to take hold and the global recession followed, US Treasury yields quickly plummeted and returns reversed course in a positive direction. When it all was said and done, at year-end the overall US Treasury sector produced returns of approximately 12% over the Fund’s fiscal year, and the long-end of the yield curve saw returns in excess of 30%. The year finished with the ten-year US Treasury Note yield at an unprecedented, and all-time low, level of 0.50%.

US Agency Unsecured Securities

For the twelve-month period of the Fund’s fiscal year, the US Agency sector underperformed both the US Treasury and the US Aggregate Bond Index with a return of approximately 5.82%. The US Agency sector underperformed due primarily to the callable portion of the market which underperformed, as overall market volatility spiked and the level of interest rates fell to a point where the entire callable market had moved into callable territory.

Residential Mortgage-Backed Securities (“RMBS”)

The RMBS sector underperformed the US Aggregate Bond index over the fiscal year, proving to be one of the worst performing sectors, even though overall returns were solidly in positive territory. The Bloomberg Barclays RMBS index produced a return of 5.45% for the period, a level that is quite respectable considering the overall interest rate environment, but nonetheless a return which fell below that of the other large US bond market sectors. Within the US Agency RMBS space generally higher coupon pools underperformed as a result of prepayment concerns, as mortgage rates finished at all-time low levels. In the Non-Agency RMBS space returns were very dispersed across sector types and credit tiers, but generally were lower than the returns in the US Agency sector. Overall, RMBS underperformed due to the poor convexity profile of the sector due to loan prepayment increases, as mortgage rates declined materially over the year in correlation with Treasury yields falling.

Asset-Backed Securities (“ABS”)

The Bloomberg Barclays US ABS Sub-Index returned 5.13%, generally outperforming US government securities on a duration adjusted basis for the twelve-month period ending on July 31, 2020. The sector continued to benefit from a steady, but manageable, new issuance supply and solid credit fundamentals. The sector continues to demonstrate meaningfully lower volatility when compared to the larger IG Corporate sector, even though the sector did see outsized levels of volatility, consistent generally with all other risk assets, during the March/April period of the Covid-19 crisis. The primary reason for the sector’s relatively low total return results over the past year is the much lower interest rate risk character, as the sector is almost exclusively a 1 to 6 year maturity profile sector.

MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND FUND PERFORMANCE (Unaudited)    FIXED INCOME FUNDS

 

Commercial Mortgage-Backed Securities (“CMBS”)

CMBS turned in a mixed performance over the twelve-month period ending July 31, 2020 on , driven by the meaningfully decline in Treasury yields and the credit fundamentals across the CRE industry. The higher quality end of CMBS delivered returns of between 7% and 8%, depending on the collateral type. However, the lower quality end of CMBS produced much lower returns, and in some cases nominally negative returns for the year, in correlation with the general risk off moves brought on by the pandemic and rising macroeconomic uncertainty.

Collateralized Loan Obligation (“CLO”)

The CLO sector delivered positive total returns for the twelve-month period ending July 31, 2020, but generally underperformed every other major sector of the US bond market. The sector saw poor returns relative to the US Aggregate Index, primarily due to meaningfully weaker investor demand for floating rate coupon securities as macroeconomic concerns increased over the period and expectations grew that the Federal Reserve would modify monetary policy from a raising rates environment to a decreasing rates scenario. Broadly speaking, spreads over LIBOR increased across the entire credit sector during the year, with the lower rated areas of “BBB” and “BB” widening the most. The CLO sector did outperform the highly correlated syndicated loan market, as the loan sector was negatively affected by the same factors as CLOs, and then on top of that saw significant outflows from ETF investors, which can often be a very volatile investor type.

Investment Grade Corporate Securities (“IG”)

The Bloomberg Barclays US IG Index saw an astonishing 12.44% total return, including a return of 19.41% in the longer maturity portion of the index, for the twelve-month period ending July 31, 2020. IG was the best performing asset sector across the entire US bond market over the period, as it benefited from both the rally in the US Treasury market, and steady credit spreads. The IG sector did come under significant stress during the March/April timeframe in conjunction with all other risk assets, however, the sector quickly began a rather impressive turnaround on the heels of Federal Reserve actions, and a subsequent overall market rally in risk assets. When the year came to an end the IG sector turned in the best sector performance, even better than US Treasuries.

High Yield Corporate Securities (“HY”)

The Bloomberg Barclays US HY index returned just over 4% over the twelve-months ending July 31, 2019. The sector underperformed materially in the March to April timeframe, as market stresses played out as the Covid-19 pandemic developed. Unlike the IG sector, the HY market did see a sizable performance differential based on the degree of credit risk, with the higher risk assets underperforming, along with issuers that are generally associated with high correlations to the current macroeconomic circumstances. For example, HY companies in the travel, commercial real estate and consumer cyclicals like gaming and leisure each underperformed. The higher end of HY such as the “BB” rating area delivered sizable outperformance, with returns of close to 10%. The “CCC” rated segment however, delivered returns of approximately -7%, with some of the deep cyclical industries such as energy producing negative returns for the year.

Money Market Securities

Money markets had a rather entertaining year. The Federal Reserve reduced the federal funds rate target from approximately 2% at the start of the year, to back down to near zero in reaction to poor market functioning in the REPO, US T-Bill and other related cash sectors, and then later in the year due to the onset of the Covd-19 pandemic and economic recession. As the fiscal-year came to an end, money market rates across every sector finished at or close to their all-time lows, which were previously set in the 2014 period.

MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND FUND PERFORMANCE (Unaudited)    FROST TOTAL RETURN BOND FUND

 

Fund Results

For the twelve-month period ending July 31, 2020, the Fund produced a return of 0.60% for the institutional share class, which lagged the benchmark for the fund, the Bloomberg Barclays US Aggregate Bond Index, which returned 10.12% over the same time period. This result was due to a combination of factors, with the most important being an underweight to interest rate risk, some sector allocation underperformance and generally poor individual security selection. The Fund’s overall duration position was meaningfully less than the benchmark, maintaining its effective duration in a range of 2.75% to 3.50% over the fiscal year, which was lower than the benchmark’s duration which spent the year ran closer to 6.0%. This allocation position detracted from performance relative to the benchmark, as interest rates materially declined over the year. This attribution represented a little over half of the Fund’s relative underperformance. The Fund also lost relative performance due to the following allocations decisions: an overweight position to the high yield (HY) corporate sector, an overweight to the Collateralized Loan Obligation (CLO) sector, and to a lesser extent an overweight to both the Asset Backed Securities (ABS) and Collateralized Mortgage Backed Securities (CMBS) sector. The Fund as of its July 31, 2020 fiscal year-end finished with an allocation of approximately 20% allocation to the HY Corporates, a 17% CLO allocation, a 17% ABS allocation and an 11% CMBS allocation. Finally, the Fund felt the effects of poor security selection, in particular with its energy corporate exposure, as several of the Fund’s off-shore oil drilling holdings became impaired with the stress that industry has seen of late, and one additional holding in the telecommunication industry.

Fund Results

For the twelve-month period ending July 31, 2020, the Fund underperformed its benchmark, a 50/50 weight of the Bloomberg Barclays US Credit and US High Yield indexes, due to both a defensive interest rate allocation and asset sector allocation decisions. The Fund maintained its effective duration between 2% to 2.50% for the fiscal year, which proved to be meaningfully lower than its benchmark. This represented the majority of the Fund’s relative underperformance to its benchmark for the year. In terms of asset sector allocations, the Fund was overweight the CLO sector which delivered negative returns of approximately -3.75% but which were significantly less than the returns of other sectors; most notably Corporates and ABS, which produced year over year returns of approximately 7.50% and 5% respectively. The Fund held on average a 30% allocation to CLO’s over the fiscal year. The Fund’s best performing sector for the year was its Corporate allocation, which ranged from a weight of between 30% to 38% over the year, finished the year at a weight of 33%.

Fund Results

For the twelve-month period, the Fund underperformed its benchmark, the Bloomberg Barclays 1 to 5 year US Government Credit Bond Index, due primarily to its duration position, as well as the Fund’s relatively defensive allocation to interest rate risk throughout the year. The Fund maintained its effective duration in a range of 1.0% to 1.75% during the fiscal year, which was lower than the benchmark which spent the year with a duration closer to 2.75%. This allocation position detracted from performance relative to the benchmark, as interest rates generally declined significantly during the year. As an example, the yield on the three-year maturity US Treasury Note fell over the year from approximately 1.50% to an astonishing 0.15%.

MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND FUND PERFORMANCE (Unaudited)    FROST MUNICIPAL BOND FUND

 

Fund Results

For the twelve-month period, the Fund underperformed its benchmark, the Bloomberg Barclays Municipal Bond Index, due primarily to duration position and the Fund’s relatively defensive allocation to interest rate risk throughout the year. The Fund maintained its effective duration in a range of 3.25% to 3.75% for the year, which was lower than the benchmark, which spent the year closer to a range of 5% to 5.5%. This allocation position detracted from performance relative to the benchmark, as interest rates declined materially over the year. As an example, the yield on the ten-year maturity tax-exempt “AAA” rated national municipal bond yield curve declined over the year from approximately 1.50% to less than 0.75%.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1. Organization:

The Frost Family of Funds (the “Trust”) is an open-end investment management company established under Delaware law as a Delaware statutory trust under a Declaration of Trust dated December 11, 2018. The Frost Family of Funds include the Frost Growth Equity Fund (the “Growth Equity Fund”), Frost Value Equity Fund (the “Value Equity Fund”), Frost Total Return Bond Fund (the “Total Return Bond Fund”), Frost Credit Fund (the “Credit Fund”), Frost Low Duration Bond Fund (the “Low Duration Bond Fund”), and Frost Municipal Bond Fund (the “Municipal Bond Fund”) (each a “Fund” and, collectively, the “Funds”). Each Fund is classified as a “diversified” investment company under the 1940 Act. The Growth Equity Fund seeks to achieve long-term capital appreciation. The Value Equity Fund seeks to achieve long-term capital appreciation and current income. The Total Return Bond Fund, Credit Fund and Low Duration Bond Fund seek to maximize total return, consisting of income and capital appreciation, consistent with the preservation of principal. The Municipal Bond Fund seeks to provide a consistent level of current income exempt from federal income tax with a secondary emphasis on maximizing total return through capital appreciation. The Funds may change their investment objective without shareholder approval. The assets of each Fund of the Trust are segregated, and a shareholder’s interest is limited to the Fund in which shares are held. Certain of the Funds currently offer Institutional Class Shares, Investor Class Shares and A Class Shares.

Each Fund is a successor to a corresponding predecessor mutual fund of the same name that was a series of The Advisors’ Inner Circle Fund II (each, a “Predecessor Fund” and, collectively, the “Predecessor Funds”). Each Predecessor Fund was managed by Frost Investment Advisors, LLC (the “Adviser” or “Frost”) using substantially the same investment objectives, strategies, policies and restrictions as those used by its corresponding Fund. Each Predecessor Fund was reorganized into its corresponding Fund on June 24, 2019 in connection with each Fund’s commencement of operations (each, a “Reorganization”). Each Predecessor Fund is treated as the survivor of the relevant Reorganization for accounting and performance reporting purposes. Accordingly, all performance and other information shown for the Funds for periods prior to June 24, 2019 is that of the Predecessor Funds.

2. Significant Accounting Policies:

The following are significant accounting policies, which are consistently followed in preparation of the financial statements of the Funds. The Funds are investment companies that apply the accounting and reporting guidance issued in Topic 946 by the U.S. Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”).

Use of Estimates — The preparation of financial statements, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”), requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of increases and decreases in net assets from operations during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates and such differences could be material.

Security Valuation — Securities listed on a securities exchange, market or automated quotation system for which quotations are readily available (except for securities traded on NASDAQ), including securities traded over the counter, are valued at the last quoted sale price on an exchange or market (foreign or domestic) on which they are traded on the valuation date (or at approximately 4:00 p.m. Eastern Time if such exchange is normally open at that time), or, if there is no such reported sale on the valuation date, at the most recent quoted bid price. For securities traded on NASDAQ, the NASDAQ Official Closing Price will be used. Debt securities are priced based upon valuations provided by independent, third-party pricing agents, if avail- able. Such values generally reflect the last reported sales price if the security is actively traded. The third-party pricing agents may also value debt securities at an evaluated bid price by employing methodologies that utilize actual market transactions, broker-supplied valuations, or other methodologies designed to identify the market value for such securities. Such methodologies generally consider such factors as security prices, yields, maturities, call features, ratings and developments relating to specific securities in arriving at valuations. On the first day a new debt security purchase is recorded, if a price is not avail- able on the automated pricing feeds from the primary and secondary pricing vendors nor is it available from an independent broker, the security may be valued at its purchase price. Each day thereafter, the debt security will be valued according to the Trust’s fair value procedures until an independent source can be secured. Debt obligations with remaining maturities of sixty days or less may be valued at their amortized cost, which approximates market value provided that it is determined the amortized cost continues to approximate fair value. Should existing credit, liquidity or interest rate conditions in the relevant markets and issuer specific circumstances suggest that amortized cost does not approximate fair value, then the amortized cost method may not be used. The prices for foreign securities are reported in local currency and converted to U.S. dollars using currency exchange rates.

Exchange-traded registered investment companies are valued at the closing price from the primary exchange.

Open-end investment companies held in the Funds’ portfolios are valued at the published net asset value.

Securities for which market prices are not “readily available” are valued in accordance with fair value procedures established by the Funds’ Board of Trustees (the “Board”). The Funds’ fair value procedures are implemented through a fair value pricing committee (the “Committee”) designated by the Board. Some of the more common reasons that may necessitate that a security be valued using fair value procedures include: the security’s trading has been halted or suspended; the security has been de-listed from a national exchange; the security’s primary trading market is temporarily closed at a time when under normal conditions it would be open; the security has not been traded for an extended period of time; the security’s primary pricing source is not able or willing to provide a price; or trading of the security is subject to local government-imposed restrictions. When a security is valued in accordance with the fair value procedures, the Committee will determine its value after taking into consideration relevant information reasonably available to the Committee.

For securities that principally trade on a foreign market or exchange, a significant gap in time can exist between the time of a particular security’s last trade and the time at which a Fund calculates its net asset value. The closing prices of such securities may no longer reflect their market value at the time a Fund calculates net asset value if an event that could materially affect the value of those securities (a “Significant Event”) has occurred between the time of the security’s last close and the time that a Fund calculates net asset value. A Significant Event may relate to a single issuer or to an entire market sector. If the Adviser becomes aware of a Significant Event that has occurred with respect to a security or group of securities after the closing of the exchange or market on which the security or securities principally trade, but before the time at which a Fund calculates net asset value, it may request that a Committee meeting be called. In addition, SEI Investments Global Funds Services (the “Administrator”), a wholly owned subsidiary of SEI Investments Company, monitors price movements among certain selected indices, securities and/or baskets of securities that may be an indicator that the closing prices received earlier from foreign exchanges or markets may not reflect market value at the time a Fund calculates net asset value. If price movements in a monitored index or security exceed levels established by the Administrator, the Administrator notifies the Adviser if a Fund is holding a relevant security that such limits have been exceeded. In such event, the Adviser makes the determination whether a Committee meeting should be called based on the information provided.

In accordance with the authoritative guidance on fair value measurements and disclosure under U.S. GAAP, the Funds dis- close fair value of their investments in a hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure the fair value. The objective of a fair value measurement is to determine the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date (an exit price). Accordingly, the fair value hierarchy gives the highest priority to quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3).

The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are described below:

 

   

Level 1 — Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical, unrestricted assets or liabilities that the Funds have the ability to access at the measurement date;

 

   

Level 2 — Quoted prices which are not active, or inputs that are observable (either directly or indirectly) for substantially the full term of the asset or liability; and

 

   

Level 3 — Prices, inputs or exotic modeling techniques which are both significant to the fair value measurement and unobservable (supported by little or no market activity).

Investments are classified within the level of the lowest significant input considered in determining fair value. Investments classified within Level 3 whose fair value measurement considers several inputs may include Level 1 or Level 2 inputs as components of the overall fair value measurement.

For the year ended July 31, 2020, there have been no changes to the Funds’ fair value methodologies.

Federal Income Taxes — It is each Fund’s intention to continue to qualify as a regulated investment company under Sub- chapter M of the Internal Revenue Code and to distribute substantially all of its taxable income. Accordingly, no provision for Federal income taxes has been made in the financial statements.

The Funds evaluate tax positions taken or expected to be taken in the course of preparing the Funds’ tax returns to determine whether it is “more-likely-than-not” (i.e., greater than 50-percent) that each tax position will be sustained upon examination by a taxing authority based on the technical merits of the position. Tax positions not deemed to meet the more- likely-than-not threshold are recorded as a tax benefit or expense in the current year. The Funds did not record any tax

 

68


FROST FAMILY OF FUNDS    F R O S T   F U N D S   |   J U L Y   3 1,   2 0 2 0

 

 

 

 

  

 

provision in the current period. However, management’s conclusions regarding tax positions taken may be subject to review and adjustment at a later date based on factors including, but not limited to, examination by tax authorities (i.e., the last 3 tax year ends, as applicable), on-going analysis of and changes to tax laws, regulations and interpretations thereof.

As of and during the year ended July 31, 2020, the Funds did not have liabilities for any unrecognized tax benefits. The Funds recognize interest and penalties, if any, related to unrecognized tax benefits as income tax expense on the Statement of Operations. During the year ended July 31, 2020, the Funds did not incur any interest or penalties.

The Funds may also be subject to taxes imposed by governments of countries in which they invest. Such taxes are generally based on either income or gains earned or repatriated. The Funds accrue and apply such taxes to net investment income, net realized gains and net unrealized gains as income and/or capital gains are earned. In some cases, the Funds may be entitled to reclaim all or a portion of such taxes, and such reclaim amounts, if any, are reflected as an asset on the Funds’ books. In many cases, however, the Funds may not receive such amounts for an extended period of time, depending on the country of investment. Upon the Fund’s receipt of reclaims, the reclaims are recorded as a reduction to foreign taxes withheld.

Security Transactions and Investment Income — Security transactions are accounted for on trade date for financial reporting purposes. Costs used in determining realized gains and losses on the sales of investment securities are based on the specific identification method. Dividend income is recognized on the ex-dividend date, interest income is recognized on an accrual basis and includes the amortization of premiums and the accretion of discount. During the year ended July 31, 2020, Frost Value Fund recorded a reduction to dividend income and an increase in unrealized gains of $44,250 based on the timing of tax characteristics of dividends received in prior periods. Realized gains (losses) on paydowns of mortgage-backed and asset-backed securities are recorded as an adjustment to interest income. Litigation income received during the year is recorded as realized gains by the Fund when such information becomes known. Gains of this type are infrequent to the Fund and are not expected to reoccur on a consistent basis. Class action litigation income received by the Value Equity Fund for the year ended July 31, 2020 amounted to $32,603 and is reflected on the Statement of Operations within Net realized gain from investments.

Repurchase Agreements — In connection with transactions involving repurchase agreements, a third party custodian bank takes possession of the underlying securities (“collateral”), the value of which exceeds the principal amount of the repurchase transaction, including accrued interest. Such collateral will be cash, debt securities issued or guaranteed by the U.S. Government, securities that at the time the repurchase agreement is entered into are rated in the highest category by a nationally recognized statistical rating organization (“NRSRO”) or unrated category by an NRSRO, as determined by the Adviser. In the event of default on the obligation to repurchase, the Funds have the right to liquidate the collateral and apply the proceeds in satisfaction of the obligation. In the event of default or bankruptcy by the counterparty to the agreement, realization and/or retention of the collateral or proceeds may be subject to legal proceedings.

Futures Contracts — To the extent consistent with its investment objective and strategies, the Fund may use futures contracts for tactical hedging purposes as well as to enhance the Fund’s returns. The Fund’s investments in futures contracts are designed to enable the Fund to more closely approximate the performance of its benchmark indices. Initial margin deposits of cash or securities are made upon entering into futures contracts. The contracts are marked-to-market daily and the resulting changes in value are accounted for as unrealized gains and losses. Variation margin payments are paid or received, depending upon whether unrealized gains or losses are incurred. When contracts are closed, the Fund records a realized gain or loss equal to the difference between the proceeds from (or cost of) the closing transaction and the amount invested in the contract. Risks of entering into futures contracts include the possibility that there will be an imperfect price correlation between the futures and the underlying securities. Second, it is possible that a lack of liquidity for futures contracts could exist in the secondary market, resulting in an inability to close a position prior to its maturity date. Finally, futures contracts involve the risk that a Fund could lose more than the original margin deposit required to initiate a futures transaction.

For the year ended July 31, 2020, the Funds did not hold any Futures Contracts.

Expenses — Expenses of the Trust that can be directly attributed to a particular fund are borne by that fund. Expenses which cannot be directly attributed to a fund are apportioned among the funds of the Trust based on the number of funds and/or relative net assets.

Classes — Class specific expenses are borne by the specific class of shares. Income, realized and unrealized gain (loss), and non-class specific expenses are allocated to the respective class on the basis of relative daily net assets.

Dividends and Distributions to Shareholders — The Growth Equity Fund distributes its net investment income and makes distributions of its net realized capital gains, if any, at least annually. The Value Equity Fund, Total Return Bond Fund, Credit Fund, Low Duration Bond Fund, and Municipal Bond Fund each distribute their net investment income monthly, as available, and make distributions of their net realized capital gains, if any, at least annually.

Line of Credit — The Funds entered into an agreement which enables them to participate in a $50 million unsecured committed revolving line of credit on a first come, first serve basis, with MUFG Union Bank, N.A. (the “Custodian”) which expires

3. Transactions with Affiliates:

Certain officers and a trustee of the Trust are also employees of the Administrator, and/or SEI Investments Distribution Co. (the “Distributor”). Such officers and the trustee are paid no fees by the Trust for serving as officers and trustee of the Trust. A portion of the services provided by the Chief Compliance Officer (“CCO”) and his staff, whom are the employees of the Administrator, are paid for by the Trust as incurred. The services include regulatory oversight of the Trust’s advisers and service providers as required by SEC regulations. The CCO’s services have been approved by and are reviewed by the Board.

4. Administration, Distribution, Shareholder Servicing, Transfer Agent and Custodian Agreements:

The Funds and the Administrator are parties to an Administration Agreement under which the Administrator provides administrative services to the Fund. For these services, the Administrator is paid an asset-based fee, which will vary depending on the number of share classes and the average daily net assets of the Funds. For the year ended July 31, 2020, the Funds were charged as follows for these services: $250,211 in the Growth Equity Fund, $11,164 in the Value Equity Fund, $2,669,759 in the Total Return Bond Fund, $153,050 in the Credit Fund, $270,248 in the Low Duration Bond Fund, and $83,438 in the Municipal Bond Fund.

The Funds have adopted a Distribution Plan (the “Plan”) for the Investor Class Shares and A Class Shares. Under the Plan, the Distributor, or third parties that enter into agreements with the Distributor, may receive up to 0.25% of each Fund’s average net assets attributable to the Investor Class Shares and A Class Shares as compensation for distribution services.

The Funds have adopted a shareholder servicing plan that provides that the Funds may pay financial intermediaries for share- holder services in an annual amount not to exceed 0.15% based on the average daily net assets of the Funds’ A Class Shares. The services for which financial intermediaries are compensated may include record-keeping, transaction processing for share- holders’ accounts and other shareholder services.

DST Systems, Inc. serves as the transfer agent and dividend disbursing agent for the Funds under a transfer agency agreement with the Trust. The Funds may earn cash management credits which can be used to offset transfer agent expenses. These credit amounts are listed as “Fees Paid Indirectly” on the Statements of Operations.

MUFG Union Bank, N.A. serves as Custodian for the Funds. The Custodian plays no role in determining the investment policies of the Funds or which securities are to be purchased or sold by the Funds.

5. Investment Advisory Agreement:

The Adviser serves as the investment adviser to the Funds. The Adviser is a wholly owned non-banking subsidiary of Cullen/ Frost Bankers, Inc. (“Frost Bank”). For its services, the Adviser is entitled to a fee, which is calculated daily and paid monthly, at the following annual rates based on the average daily net assets of each Fund. The Adviser has contractually agreed to reduce its fees and/or reimburse expenses for certain Funds to the extent necessary to keep total annual Fund operating expenses from exceeding certain levels as set forth below until June 24, 2021 (the “Contractual Expense Limitation”) for the Growth Equity Fund, Value Equity Fund, Total Return Bond Fund, Credit Fund and Low Duration Bond Fund. The Adviser is entitled to the same fee for its services to each Predecessor Fund as it is for each Predecessor Fund’s corresponding Fund. In addition, the Adviser agreed to the same Contractual Expense Limitation and Voluntary Expense Limitation, as applicable, for each Predecessor Fund as with its corresponding Fund.

If at any point it becomes unnecessary for the Adviser to make Expense Limitation reimbursements, the Adviser may retain the difference between the “Total Annual Fund Operating Expenses” and the aforementioned Expense Limitations to recapture all or a portion of its prior Expense Limitation reimbursements made during the preceding three year period up to the expense cap in place at the time the expenses were waived. The Adviser, however, will not be permitted to recapture any amount that is attributable to its Voluntary Fee Reduction. During the year ended July 31, 2020, the Adviser did not recapture previously waived/reimbursed fees for the Funds.

7. Federal Tax Information:

The timing and characterization of certain income and capital gains distributions are determined annually in accordance with federal tax regulations which may differ from U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. As a result, net investment income (loss) and net realized gain (loss) on investment transactions for a reporting period may differ significantly from distributions during such period. These book/tax differences may be temporary or permanent in nature. To the extent these differences are permanent, they are charged or credited to distributable earnings or paid-in capital, as appropriate, in the period that the differences arise. The permanent differences primarily consist of reclassification of long term capital gain distribution on REITs, market discount adjustment, amortization adjustment on premium bond sold, gains and losses on paydowns of mortgage and asset-backed securities for tax purposes, and distribution reclassification. There were no permanent difference that is credited or charged to Paid-in Capital and Distributable Earnings as of July 31, 2020.

The tax character of dividends and distributions declared during the years ended July 31, 2020 and July 31, 2019 was as follows:

8. Risks:

Asset-Backed and Mortgage-Backed Securities Risk (Total Return Bond Fund, Credit Fund, Low Duration Bond Fund): Payment of principal and interest on asset-backed securities is dependent largely on the cash flows generated by the assets backing the securities, and asset-backed securities may not have the benefit of any security interest in the related assets, which raises the possibility that recoveries on repossessed collateral may not be available to support payments on these securities. Asset-backed securities are also subject to the risk that underlying borrowers will be unable to meet their obligations. To lessen the effect of failures by obligors on underlying assets to make payments, the entity administering the pool of assets may agree to ensure the receipt of payments on the underlying pool occurs in a timely fashion (“liquidity protection”). In addition, asset-backed securities may obtain insurance, such as guarantees, policies or letters of credit obtained by the issuer or sponsor from third parties, for some or all of the assets in the pool (“credit support”). Delinquency or loss more than that anticipated or failure of the credit support could adversely affect the return on an investment in such a security.

Mortgage-backed securities are affected by, among other things, interest rate changes and the possibility of prepayment of the underlying mortgage loans. Mortgage-backed securities are also subject to the risk that underlying borrowers will be unable to meet their obligations. In addition, a variety of economic, geographic, social and other factors, such as the sale of the under- lying property, refinancing or foreclosure, can cause investors to repay the loans underlying a mortgage-backed security sooner than expected. If the prepayment rates increase, the Fund may have to reinvest its principal at a rate of interest that is lower than the rate on existing mortgage-backed securities.

Collateralized Loan Obligations Risk (Credit Fund, Low Duration Bond Fund, Total Return Bond Fund): Collateralized loan obligations are investment vehicles typically collateralized by a pool of loans, which may include, among others, senior secured loans, senior unsecured loans, and subordinate corporate loans, including loans that may be rated below investment grade or equivalent unrated loans. Collateralized loan obligations are subject to the risks of substantial losses due to actual defaults by borrowers of the loans underlying the collateralized loan obligations, which will be greater during periods of economic or financial stress. Collateralized loan obligations may also lose value due to collateral defaults and disappearance of subordinate tranches, market anticipation of defaults, and investor aversion to collateralized loan obligation securities as a class. The Fund may invest in collateralized loan obligations that hold loans of uncreditworthy borrowers or in subordinate tranches of a collateralized loan obligation, which may absorb losses from underlying borrower defaults before senior tranches. Investments in such collateralized loan obligations present a greater risk of loss. In addition, collateralized loan obligations are subject to interest rate risk and credit risk.

Credit Risk (Total Return Bond Fund, Credit Fund, Low Duration Bond Fund, Municipal Bond Fund): The credit rating or financial condition of an issuer may affect the value of a debt security. Generally, the lower the quality rating of a security, the greater the risk that the issuer will fail to pay interest fully and return principal in a timely manner. If an issuer defaults or becomes unable to honor its financial obligations, the security may lose some or all of its value. The issuer of an investment-grade security is more likely to pay interest and repay principal than an issuer of a lower rated bond. Adverse economic conditions or changing circumstances, however, may weaken the capacity of the issuer to pay interest and repay principal.

U.S. government securities are not guaranteed against price movements due to changing interest rates. Obligations issued by some U.S. government agencies are backed by the U.S. Treasury, while others are backed solely by the ability of the agency to borrow from the U.S. Treasury or by the government sponsored agency’s own resources. As a result, investments in securities issued by government sponsored agencies that are not backed by the U.S. Treasury are subject to higher credit risk than those that are.

High yield, or “junk,” bonds are highly speculative securities that are usually issued by smaller less credit worthy and/or highly leveraged (indebted) companies. Compared with investment-grade bonds, high yield bonds carry a greater degree of risk and are less likely to make payments of interest and principal. Market developments and the financial and business conditions of the corporation issuing these securities influences their price and liquidity more than changes in interest rates, when compared to investment-grade debt securities. Insufficient liquidity in the junk bond market may make it more difficult to dispose of junk bonds and may cause the Fund to experience sudden and substantial price declines. A lack of reliable, objective data or market quotations may make it more difficult to value junk bonds accurately.

Equity Risk (Growth Equity Fund, Value Equity Fund): Since they purchase equity securities, the Funds are subject to the risk that stock prices will fall over short or extended periods of time. Historically, the equity markets have moved in cycles, and the value of each Fund’s equity securities may fluctuate drastically from day to day. Individual companies may report poor results or be negatively affected by industry and/or economic trends and developments. The prices of securities issued by such companies may suffer a decline in response. These factors contribute to price volatility, which is the principal risk of investing in each Fund.

Foreign Company Risk (Growth Equity Fund, Value Equity Fund, Credit Fund): Investing in foreign companies, whether through investments made in foreign markets or made through the purchase of ADRs, which are traded on U.S. exchanges and represent an ownership in a foreign security, poses additional risks since political and economic events unique to a country or region will affect those markets and their issuers. These risks will not necessarily affect the U.S. economy or similar issuers located in the United States. In addition, investments in foreign companies are generally denominated in a foreign currency. As a result, changes in the value of those currencies compared to the U.S. dollar may affect (positively or negatively) the value of a Fund’s investments. These currency movements may occur separately from, and in response to, events that do not otherwise affect the value of the security in the issuer’s home country. Securities of foreign companies may not be registered with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) and foreign companies are generally not subject to the regulatory controls imposed on U.S. issuers and, as a consequence, there is generally less publically available information about foreign securities than is available about domestic securities. Income from foreign securities owned by a Fund may be reduced by a withholding tax at the source, which tax would reduce income received from the securities comprising the Fund’s portfolio. Foreign securities may also be more difficult to value than securities of U.S. issuers. While ADRs provide an alternative to directly purchasing the underlying foreign securities in their respective national markets and currencies, investments in ADRs continue to be subject to many of the risks associated with investing directly in foreign securities.

Growth Style Risk (Growth Equity Fund): The price of equity securities rises and falls in response to many factors, including the historical and prospective earnings of the issuer of the stock, the value of its assets, general economic conditions, interest rates, investor perceptions, and market liquidity. The Fund may invest in securities of companies that the Adviser believes have superior prospects for robust and sustainable growth of revenues and earnings. These may be companies with new, limited or cyclical product lines, markets or financial resources, and the management of such companies may be dependent upon one or a few key people. The stocks of such companies can therefore be subject to more abrupt or erratic market movements than stocks of larger, more established companies or the stock market in general.

High Yield Bond Risk (Municipal Bond Fund, Credit Fund, Low Duration Bond Fund, Total Return Bond Fund): High yield, or “junk,” bonds are highly speculative securities that are usually issued by smaller less credit worthy and/or highly leveraged (indebted) companies. Compared with investment-grade bonds, high yield bonds carry a greater degree of risk and are less likely to make payments of interest and principal. Market developments and the financial and business conditions of the corporation issuing these securities influences their price and liquidity more than changes in interest rates, when compared to investment-grade debt securities. Insufficient liquidity in the junk bond market may make it more difficult to dispose of junk bonds and may cause the Fund to experience sudden and substantial price declines. A lack of reliable, objective data or market quotations may make it more difficult to value junk bonds accurately.

Interest Rate Risk (Total Return Bond Fund, Credit Fund, Low Duration Bond Fund, Municipal Bond Fund): As with most funds that invest in debt securities, changes in interest rates are one of the most important factors that could affect the value of your investment. Rising interest rates tend to cause the prices of debt securities (especially those with longer maturities) and the Fund’s share price to fall. Risks associated with rising interest rates are heightened given that interest rates in the U.S. are at, or near, historic lows.

The concept of duration is useful in assessing the sensitivity of a fixed income fund to interest rate movements, which are usually the main source of risk for most fixed income funds. Duration measures price volatility by estimating the change in price of a debt security for a 1% change in its yield. For example, a duration of five years means the price of a debt security will change about 5% for every 1% change in its yield. Thus, the higher the duration, the more volatile the security.

Debt securities have a stated maturity date when the issuer must repay the principal amount of the bond. Some debt securities, known as callable bonds, may repay the principal earlier than the stated maturity date. Debt securities are most likely to be called when interest rates are falling because the issuer can refinance at a lower rate.

Rising interest rates may also cause investors to pay off mortgage-backed and asset-backed securities later than anticipated, forcing the Fund to keep its money invested at lower rates. Falling interest rates, however, generally cause investors to pay off mortgage-backed and asset-backed securities earlier than expected, forcing the Fund to reinvest the money at a lower interest rate.

Mutual funds that invest in debt securities have no real maturity. Instead, they calculate their weighted average maturity. This number is an average of the effective or anticipated maturity of each debt security held by the mutual fund, with the maturity of each security weighted by the percentage of its assets of the mutual fund it represents.

Issuer Risk (Total Return Bond Fund, Credit Fund, Low Duration Bond Fund): The risk that the value of a security may decline for a reason directly related to the issuer, such as management performance, financial leverage and reduced demand for the issuer’s goods or services.

Leverage Risk (Credit Fund): The use of leverage can amplify the effects of market volatility on the Fund’s share price and may also cause the Fund to liquidate portfolio positions when it would not be advantageous to do so in order to satisfy its obligations.

LIBOR Replacement Risk (Total Return Bond Fund, Credit Fund, Low Duration Bond Fund, Municipal Bond Fund): The elimination of the London Inter-Bank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) may adversely affect the interest rates on, and value of, certain Fund investments for which the value is tied to LIBOR. The U.K. Financial Conduct Authority has announced that it intends to stop compelling or inducing banks to submit LIBOR rates after 2021. However, it remains unclear if LIBOR will continue to exist in its current, or a modified, form. Alternatives to LIBOR are established or in development in most major currencies, including the Secured Overnight Financing Rate (“SOFR”), which is intended to replace U.S. dollar LIBOR. Markets are slowly developing in response to these new rates. Questions around liquidity impacted by these rates, and how to appropriately adjust these rates at the time of transition, remain a concern for the Fund. Accordingly, it is difficult to predict the full impact of the transition away from LIBOR on the Fund until new reference rates and fallbacks for both legacy and new products, instruments and contracts are commercially accepted.

Liquidity Risk (Total Return Bond Fund, Credit Fund, Low Duration Bond Fund): The risk that certain securities may be difficult or impossible to sell at the time and the price that the Fund would like. The Fund may have to accept a lower price to sell a security, sell other securities to raise cash, or give up an investment opportunity, any of which could have a negative effect on Fund management or performance.

Management Risk (Each Fund): The risk that the investment techniques and risk analyses applied by the Adviser will not pro- duce the desired results and that legislative, regulatory, or tax developments may affect the investment techniques available to the Adviser and the individual portfolio manager in connection with managing each Fund. There is no guarantee that the investment objective of a Fund will be achieved.

Market Risk (Each Fund): The risk that the value of securities owned by the Fund may go up or down, sometimes rapidly or unpredictably, due to factors affecting securities markets generally or particular industries. In addition, the impact of any epidemic, pandemic or natural disaster, or widespread fear that such events may occur, could negatively affect the global economy, as well as the economies of individual countries, the financial performance of individual companies and sectors, and the markets in general in significant and unforeseen ways. Any such impact could adversely affect the prices and liquidity of the securities and other instruments in which the Fund invests, which in turn could negatively impact the Fund’s performance and cause losses on your investment in the Fund. In addition, the impact of any epidemic, pandemic or natural disaster, or widespread fear that such events may occur, could negatively affect the global economy, as well as the economies of individual countries, the financial performance of individual companies and sectors, and the markets in general in significant and unforeseen ways. Any such impact could adversely affect the prices and liquidity of the securities and other instruments in which a Fund invests, which in turn could negatively impact the Fund’s performance and cause losses on your investment in the Fund. Global health events and pandemics, such as COVID-19, have the ability to affect --quickly, drastically and substantially the economies of many nations, states, individual companies and the markets in general and can cause disruptions that cannot necessarily be foreseen. The spread of COVID-19 around the world in 2020 resulted in a substantial number of nations implementing social distancing measures, quarantines, and the shutdown of non-essential businesses and governmental services. Further, it has caused significant volatility in U.S. and international markets. The impact of the outbreak may be short term or may last for an extended period of time.

Municipal Issuers Risk (Low Duration Bond Fund, Municipal Bond Fund, Total Return Bond Fund): There may be economic or political changes that impact the ability of municipal issuers to repay principal and to make interest payments on municipal securities. Changes in the financial condition or credit rating of municipal issuers also may adversely affect the value of each Fund’s municipal

securities. Constitutional or legislative limits on borrowing by municipal issuers may result in reduced supplies of municipal securities. Moreover, certain municipal securities are backed only by a municipal issuer’s ability to levy and collect taxes.

Prepayment and Extension Risk (Total Return Bond Fund, Credit Fund, Low Duration Bond Fund, Municipal Bond Fund): Prepayment and extension risk is the risk that a loan, bond or other security might be called or otherwise converted, prepaid or redeemed before maturity. This risk is primarily associated with corporate-backed, mortgage-backed and asset-backed securities. If a security is converted, prepaid or redeemed before maturity, particularly during a time of declining interest rates or spreads, the Fund may not be able to invest the proceeds in securities providing as high a level of income, resulting in a reduced yield to the Fund. Conversely, as interest rates rise or spreads widen, the likelihood of prepayment decreases. The Fund may be unable to capitalize on securities with higher interest rates or wider spreads because the Fund’s investments are locked in at a lower rate for a longer period of time.

Repurchase Agreement Risk (Credit Bond Fund, Low Duration Bond Fund, Total Return Bond Fund): Under a repurchase agreement, the seller of a security to the Fund agrees to repurchase the security at a mutually agreed-upon time and price. If the seller in a repurchase agreement transaction defaults on its obligation under the agreement, the Fund may suffer delays and incur costs or lose money in exercising its rights under the agreement.

Sector Focus Risk (Growth Equity Fund, Value Equity Fund, Credit Fund, Low Duration Bond Fund, Total Return Bond Fund): Because the Fund may, from time to time, be more heavily invested in particular sectors, the value of its shares may be especially sensitive to factors and economic risks that specifically affect those sectors. As a result, the Fund’s share price may fluctuate more widely than the value of shares of a mutual fund that invests in a broader range of sectors.

Small- and Mid-Capitalization Company Risk (Growth Equity Fund, Value Equity Fund): The small- and mid-capitalization companies in which these Funds may invest may be more vulnerable to adverse business or economic events than larger, more established companies. In particular, investments in these small- and mid-sized companies may pose additional risks, including liquidity risk, because these companies tend to have limited product lines, markets and financial resources, and may depend upon a relatively small management group. Therefore, small- and mid-capitalization stocks may be more volatile than those of larger companies. These securities may be traded over-the-counter or listed on an exchange.

State-Specific Risk (Municipal Bond Fund): The Fund is subject to the risk that the economy of the states in which it invests, and the revenues underlying state municipal bonds, may decline. Investing primarily in a single state means that the Fund is more exposed to negative political or economic factors in that state than a fund that invests more widely.

Structured Note Risk (Credit Fund): The Fund may invest in fixed income linked structured notes. Structured notes are typically privately negotiated transactions between two or more parties. The fees associated with a structured note may lead to increased tracking error. The Fund also bears the risk that the issuer of the structured note will default. The Fund bears the risk of loss of its principal investment and periodic payments expected to be received for the duration of its investment. In addition, a liquid market may not exist for the structured notes. The lack of a liquid market may make it difficult to sell the structured notes at an acceptable price or to accurately value them.

Value Style Risk (Value Equity Fund): The Fund pursues a “value style” of investing. Value investing focuses on companies with stocks that appear undervalued in light of factors such as the company’s earnings, book value, revenues or cash flow. If the Adviser’s assessment of market conditions or a company’s value or prospects for exceeding earnings expectations is inaccurate, the Fund could suffer losses or produce poor performance relative to other funds. In addition, “value stocks” can continue to be undervalued by the market for long periods of time.

Zero Coupon, Deferred Interest and Pay-In-Kind Bond Risk (Credit Fund): These bonds are issued at a discount from their face value because interest payments are typically postponed until maturity. Pay-in-kind securities are securities that have interest payable by the delivery of additional securities. The market prices of these securities generally are more volatile than the market prices of interest-bearing securities and are likely to respond to a greater degree to changes in interest rates than interest- bearing securities having similar maturities and credit quality.

In the normal course of business, the Funds enter into contracts that provide general indemnifications. The Funds’ maximum exposure under these arrangements is dependent on future claims that may be made against the Funds and, therefore, cannot be established; however, based on experience, the risk of loss from such claims is considered remote.

10. New Accounting Pronouncement:

In March 2017, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued an Accounting Standards Update, ASU 2017-08, Receivables — Nonrefundable Fees and Other Costs (Subtopic 310-20), Premium Amortization on Purchased Callable Debt Securities (the “ASU”) which amends the amortization period for certain purchased callable debt securities held at a premium, shortening such period to the earliest call date. The ASU does not require any accounting change for debt securities held at a discount; the discount continues to be amortized to maturity. The ASU is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2018. Under the new standard, the Total Return Bond Fund, Credit Fund, and Municipal Bond Fund have changed the amortization period for the premium on certain purchased callable debt securities with non-contingent call features to the earliest call date. In accordance with the transition provisions of the standard, the Funds applied the amendments on a modified retrospective basis beginning with the fiscal period ended July 31, 2020. The adjustments to the cost basis of securities at the beginning of the period are as follows:

 

Total Return Bond Fund

   $ 5,755,424  

Credit Fund

     197,083  

Municipal Bond Fund

     186,081  

This change in accounting policy has been made to comply with the newly issued accounting standard and had no impact on accumulated earnings (loss) or the net asset value of the Funds.

In August 2018, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update 2018-13, Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820). The new guidance includes additions and modifications to disclosures requirements for fair value measurements. For public entities, the amendments are effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, and interim periods within those fiscal years. Management elected to early adopt the removal and modifications of certain disclosures and delay the adoption of additional disclosures until the effective date.

11. Subsequent Events:

The Funds have evaluated the need for additional disclosures and/or adjustments resulting from subsequent events through the date the financial statements were issued. Based on this evaluation, no additional disclosures and/or adjustments were required to the financial statements as of July 31, 2020, except as follows:

On September 28, 2020, the Board of Trustees of the Trust, at the recommendation of Frost Investment Advisors, LLC (the “Adviser”), the investment adviser of the Funds, has approved a plan of liquidation providing for the liquidation of the Frost Value Equity Fund’s assets and the distribution of the net proceeds pro rata to the Fund’s shareholders. In connection therewith, the Fund is closed to investments by new and existing shareholders effective as of the Fund’s close of business on October 1, 2020. The Fund is expected to cease operations and liquidate on or about November 27, 2020 (the “Liquidation Date”). The Liquidation Date may be changed without notice at the discretion of the Trust’s officers.

We have audited the accompanying statements of assets and liabilities of Frost Family of Funds (the “Trust”) (comprising the Frost Credit Fund, Frost Growth Equity Fund, Frost Low Duration Bond Fund, Frost Municipal Bond Fund, Frost Total Return Bond Fund, and Frost Value Equity Fund (collectively referred to as the “Funds”)) including the schedules of investments, as of July 31, 2020, and the related statements of operations for the year then ended, the statements of changes in net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended, the financial highlights for each of the five years in the period then ended, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the “financial statements”). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of each of the Funds comprising the Frost Family of Funds at July 31, 2020, the results of their operations for the year then ended, the changes in their net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended, and their financial highlights for each of the five years in the period then ended, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

Basis for Opinion

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

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

Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of July 31, 2020, by correspondence with the custodian and brokers or by other appropriate auditing procedures where replies from brokers were not received. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

DISCLOSURE OF FUND EXPENSES (Unaudited)

 

All mutual funds have operating expenses. As a shareholder of a fund, your investment is affected by these ongoing costs, which include (among others) costs for portfolio management, administrative services, and shareholder reports like this one. It is important for you to understand the impact of these costs on your investment returns.

Operating expenses such as these are deducted from a fund’s gross income and directly reduce its final investment return. These expenses are expressed as a percentage of a fund’s average net assets; this percentage is known as a fund’s expense ratio.

The following examples use the expense ratio and are intended to help you understand the ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in your Fund and to compare these costs with those of other mutual funds. The examples are based on an investment of $1,000 made at the beginning of the period shown and held for the entire period (February 1, 2020 to July 31, 2020).

The table on the next page illustrates your Fund’s costs in two ways:

Actual fund return. This section helps you to estimate the actual expenses after fee waivers that your Fund incurred over the period. The “Expenses Paid During Period” column shows the actual dollar expense cost incurred by a $1,000 investment in the Fund, and the “Ending Account Value” number is derived from deducting that expense cost from the Fund’s gross investment return.

You can use this information, together with the actual amount you invested in the Fund, to estimate the expenses you paid over that period. Simply divide your actual starting account value by $1,000 to arrive at a ratio (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply that ratio by the number shown for your Fund under “Expenses Paid During Period.”

Hypothetical 5% return. This section helps you compare your Fund’s costs with those of other mutual funds. It assumes that the Fund had an annual 5% return before expenses during the year, but that the expense ratio (Column 3) is unchanged. This example is useful in making comparisons because the Securities and Exchange Commission requires all mutual funds to make this 5% calculation. You can assess your Fund’s comparative cost by comparing the hypothetical result for your Fund in the “Expenses Paid During Period” column with those that appear in the same charts in the shareholder reports for other funds.

NOTE: Because the return is set at 5% for comparison purposes — NOT your Fund’s actual return — the account values shown do not apply to your specific investment.

REVIEW OF LIQUIDITY RISK MANAGEMENT PROGRAM (Unaudited)

 

Pursuant to Rule 22e-4 under the 1940 Act, the Funds’ investment adviser has adopted, and the Board has approved, a liquidity risk management program (the “Program”) to govern the Funds’ approach to managing liquidity risk. The Program is overseen by the Funds’ Liquidity Risk Management Program Administrator (the “Program Administrator”), and the Program’s principal objectives include assessing, managing and periodically reviewing each Fund’s liquidity risk, based on factors specific to the circumstances of the Funds.

At a meeting of the Board held on May 20, 2020, the Trustees received a report from the Program Administrator addressing the operations of the Program and assessing its adequacy and effectiveness of implementation. The Board acknowledged that (i) the report covered the period from December 1, 2018 through December 31, 2019 and thus did not cover the recent period of market volatility, and (ii) the Board held a call with the Trust’s officers on March 25, 2020 where the officers discussed the operations and effectiveness of the Program during the then-current market volatility. The Board requested that the Program Administrator provide an update of the operation of the Program during the then-current market volatility at its next meeting. The Program Administrator’s report noted that the Program Administrator had determined that the Program is reasonably designed to assess and manage each Fund’s liquidity risk and has operated adequately and effectively to manage each Fund’s liquidity risk since the Program was implemented on December 1, 2018. The Program Administrator’s report noted that during the period covered by the report, there were no liquidity events that impacted the Funds or their ability to timely meet redemptions without dilution to existing shareholders. The Program Administrator’s report further noted that no material changes have been made to the Program since its implementation. The Program Administrator also noted that the Board approved a change to the membership of the committee serving as Program Administrator.

There can be no assurance that the Program will achieve its objectives in the future. Please refer to the prospectus for more information regarding a Fund’s exposure to liquidity risk and other principal risks to which an investment in the Funds may be subject.

Qualifying dividends represent dividends which qualify for the corporate dividends received deduction and is reflected as a percentage of ordinary income distributions (the total of short-term capital gain and net investment income distributions).

 

(2)

The percentage in this column represents the amount of “Qualifying Dividend Income” as created by the Jobs and Growth Tax Relief Reconciliation Act of 2003 and is reflected as a percentage of ordinary income distributions (the total of short-term capital gain and net investment income distributions). It is the intention of each of the aforementioned funds to designate the maximum amount permitted by law.

 

(3)

“U.S. Government Interest” represents the amount of interest that was derived from direct U.S. Government obligations and distributed during the fiscal year. This amount is reflected as a percentage of ordinary income. Generally, interest from direct U.S. Government obligations is exempt from state income tax. However, for shareholders who are residents of California, Connecticut and New York, the statutory threshold requirements were not satisfied to permit exemption of these amounts from state income.

 

(4)

The percentage in this column represents the amount of “Qualifying Interest Income” and is reflected as a percentage of net investment income distributions that is exempt from U.S withholding tax when paid to foreign investors.

 

(5)

The percentage in this column represents the amount of “Qualifying Short-Term Capital Gain” and is reflected as a percentage of short-term capital gain distributions that is exempt from U.S withholding tax when paid to foreign investors.

Notes:

  (1)

Audit fees include amounts related to the audit of the Trust’s annual financial statements and services normally provided by the accountant in connection with statutory and regulatory filings.

  (2)

The series of the Trust reorganized, effective as of June 24, 2019, from series of The Advisors’ Inner Circle Fund II into series of the Frost Family of Funds.

(e)(1)    The Trust’s Audit Committee has adopted and the Board of Trustees has ratified an Audit and Non-Audit Services Pre-Approval Policy (the “Policy”), which sets forth the procedures and the conditions pursuant to which services proposed to be performed by the independent auditor of the Funds may be pre-approved.

The Policy provides that all requests or applications for proposed services to be provided by the independent auditor must be submitted to the Registrant’s Chief Financial Officer (“CFO”) and must include a detailed description of the services proposed to be rendered. The CFO will determine whether these services:


  1.

require specific pre-approval;

 

  2.

are included within the list of services that have received the general pre-approval of the Audit Committee pursuant to the Policy; or

 

  3.

have been previously pre-approved in connection with the independent auditor’s annual engagement letter for the applicable year or otherwise. In any instance where services require pre-approval, the Audit Committee will consider whether these services are consistent with SEC’s rules and whether the provision of these services would impair the auditor’s independence.

Requests or applications to provide services that require specific pre-approval by the Audit Committee will be submitted to the Audit Committee by the CFO. The Audit Committee will be informed by the CFO on a quarterly basis of all services rendered by the independent auditor. The Audit Committee has delegated specific pre-approval authority to either the Audit Committee Chair or financial expert, provided that the estimated fee for any said proposed pre-approved service does not exceed $100,000 and any pre-approval decisions are reported to the Audit Committee at the Audit Committee’s next regularly-scheduled meeting.

Services that have received the general pre-approval of the Audit Committee are identified and described in the Policy. In addition, the Policy sets forth a maximum fee per engagement with respect to each identified service that has received general pre-approval.

All services to be provided by the independent auditor shall be provided pursuant to a signed written engagement letter with the Registrant, the investment adviser, or applicable control affiliate (except that matters as to which an engagement letter would be impractical because of timing issues or because the matter is small may not be the subject of an engagement letter) that sets forth both the services to be provided by the independent auditor and the total fees to be paid to the independent auditor for those services.

In addition, the Audit Committee has determined to take additional measures on an annual basis to meet the audit Committee’s responsibility to oversee the work of the independent auditor and to assure the auditor’s independence from the Registrant, such as (a) reviewing a formal written statement from the independent auditor delineating all relationships between the independent auditor and the Registrant, and (b) discussing with the independent auditor the independent auditor’s methods and procedures for ensuring independence.

(e)(2) Percentage of fees billed by E&Y applicable to non-audit services pursuant to the “de minimis” exception of Rule 2-01(c)(7)(i)(C) were as follows:

 

     FYE July 31, 2020    FYE July 31, 2019

Audit-Related Fees

   None    None

Tax Fees

   None    None

All Other Fees

   None    None

(f)    Not applicable.

(g)    The aggregate non-audit fees and services billed by E&Y for services rendered to the Registrant, and rendered to the Registrant’s investment adviser (not including any sub-adviser whose role is primarily portfolio management and is subcontracted with or overseen by another investment adviser), and any entity controlling, controlled by, or under common control with the adviser that provides ongoing services to the Registrant for the last two fiscal-years-ended July 31st were $12,500 and $12,250 for 2020 and 2019, respectively.

(h)    During the past fiscal year, all non-audit services provided by Registrant’s principal accountant to either Registrant’s investment adviser or to any entity controlling, controlled by, or under common control with


Registrant’s investment adviser that provides ongoing services to Registrant were pre-approved by the Audit Committee of Registrant’s Board of Trustees. Included in the Audit Committee’s pre-approval of these non-audit service were the review and consideration as to whether the provision of these non-audit services is compatible with maintaining the principal accountant’s independence.
