How did the Fund perform in the last year? 

During the period from July 2023 to June 2024, the DF Dent Premier Growth Fund underperformed its benchmark, the S&P 500. This underperformance was influenced by both sector allocation and stock selection. Notably, the Consumer Discretionary sector contributed positively to the portfolio's performance while the Health Care sector and Information Technology sector detracted significantly from performance.

 

The Fund experienced fluctuating performance relative to the S&P 500, starting with a decline in the third quarter of 2023, followed by a gain in the fourth quarter of 2023, and then facing consecutive declines in the first and second quarters of 2024. Initially, the underperformance in the third quarter of 2023 was driven by negative stock selection and sector allocation effects, but the Fund rebounded in the fourth quarter with positive contributions from both stock selection and sector allocation. However, this recovery was short-lived as both stock selection and sector allocation continued to detract from performance in 2024.

 

The Communication Services sector and Information Technology sector were the largest contributors to the benchmark’s return. In the Fund, the Communication Services sector underperformed driven by a negative sector allocation impact partially offset by positive stock selection in the sector. Similarly, the Information Technology sector also underperformed in the portfolio, where both sector allocation and stock selection negatively impacted the performance. Despite all sectors contributing positively to the benchmark's performance, Real Estate and Utilities were the relative laggards.

How did the Fund perform in the last year? 

During the period from July 2023 to June 2024, the DF Dent Midcap Growth Fund underperformed both of its benchmarks, the Russell 2500 Index and the Russell Midcap Growth Index.

 

The underperformance relative to the Russell 2500 Index was primarily driven by a negative sector allocation effect and to a lesser extent, a negative stock selection effect. Notably, the Information Technology sector and Materials sector positively contributed to the portfolio's performance. This was offset by performance in the Consumer Discretionary sector, Financials sector, and Health Care sector.

 

Energy was the top performing sector for the Russell 2500 benchmark. The Fund's lack of exposure to the Energy sector, resulted in a negative total effect on the portfolio. The sectors that detracted most from the benchmark's performance were Communication Services and Health Care. In contrast, the Fund's allocation to Communication Services positively contributed to the portfolio, unlike the Fund's exposure to the Health Care sector, a laggard in the benchmark, which adversely affected its performance, both with negative allocation and stock selection effects.

 

The underperformance relative to the Russell Midcap Growth Index was primarily driven by both stock selection and sector allocation. The largest detractors from performance were the Financials sector and Consumer Discretionary sector.

 

Utilities and Financials were the top performing sectors of the Russell Midcap Growth Index. The Fund's lack of exposure to the Utilities sector was a minor detractor, while stock selection in the Financials sector had a more significant impact on performance. Consumer Staples and Health Care sectors were the worst performing sectors for the benchmark. While the Fund had positive returns in Consumer Staples, both Consumer Staples and Health Care also detracted from the Fund’s performance.

The above chart represents historical performance of a hypothetical $10,000 investment over the past 10 years.   Effective June 1, 2024, the Fund changed its primary benchmark index from the Russell Midcap Growth Index to the Russell 2500 Index due to regulatory requirements. The Fund retained the Russell Midcap Growth Index as a secondary benchmark because the Russell Midcap Growth Index more closely reflects the market sectors in which the Fund invests.

How did the Fund perform in the last year? 

During the period from July 2023 to June 2024, the DF Dent Midcap Growth Fund underperformed both of its benchmarks, the Russell 2500 Index and the Russell Midcap Growth Index.

 

The underperformance relative to the Russell 2500 Index was primarily driven by a negative sector allocation effect and to a lesser extent, a negative stock selection effect. Notably, the Information Technology sector and Materials sector positively contributed to the portfolio's performance. This was offset by performance in the Consumer Discretionary sector, Financials sector, and Health Care sector.

 

Energy was the top performing sector for the Russell 2500 benchmark. The Fund's lack of exposure to the Energy sector, resulted in a negative total effect on the portfolio. The sectors that detracted most from the benchmark's performance were Communication Services and Health Care. In contrast, the Fund's allocation to Communication Services positively contributed to the portfolio, unlike the Fund's exposure to the Health Care sector, a laggard in the benchmark, which adversely affected its performance, both with negative allocation and stock selection effects.

 

The underperformance relative to the Russell Midcap Growth Index was primarily driven by both stock selection and sector allocation. The largest detractors from performance were the Financials sector and Consumer Discretionary sector.

 

Utilities and Financials were the top performing sectors of the Russell Midcap Growth Index. The Fund's lack of exposure to the Utilities sector was a minor detractor, while stock selection in the Financials sector had a more significant impact on performance. Consumer Staples and Health Care sectors were the worst performing sectors for the benchmark. While the Fund had positive returns in Consumer Staples, both Consumer Staples and Health Care also detracted from the Fund’s performance.

How did the Fund perform in the last year? 

During the period from July 2023 to June 2024, the DF Dent Small Cap Growth Fund underperformed both of its benchmarks, the Russell 2000 Index and the Russell 2000 Growth Index.

 

This underperformance relative to the Russell 2000 Index was primarily driven by a negative stock selection effect. Notably, the Health Care sector positively influenced the portfolio's performance while the Industrials sector was the largest detractor from performance.

 

The portfolio's performance relative to the Russell 2000 Growth Index was negatively impacted by stock selection, but was partially offset by a positive sector allocation. Notably stock selection and allocation to the Health Care sector, the Financials sector, and the Materials sector contributed positively to the portfolio's performance while stock selection in both the Industrials sector and the Information Technology sector were significant detractors from performance.

 

Energy, Financials, and Consumer Staples were the top performing sectors in the Russell 2000 benchmark. The Fund’s lack of exposure to the Energy sector, an underweight allocation in the Financials sector, and stock selection in the Consumer Staples sector detracted from performance. The benchmark sectors that notably detracted from performance included Utilities and Health Care. In the Fund, the Utilities sector showed an unexpected positive total effect due to lack of exposure. The Fund’s stock selection in the Health Care sector contributed to performance, but was partially offset by sector allocation.

 

Consumer Staples, Energy, and Information Technology were the top performing sectors in the Russell 2000 Growth benchmark. The Fund’s stock selection in Consumer Staples and Information Technology were headwinds to performance in addition to being underweight to the Energy sector. The sectors that detracted most from the benchmark's performance were Utilities and Health Care. In the Fund’s portfolio, Utilities had a positive total effect benefiting from the absence of portfolio allocation in this underperforming sector. Health Care, on the other hand, contributed positively to returns both in stock selection and favorable sector allocation.

How did the Fund perform in the last year? 

During the period from July 2023 to June 2024, the DF Dent Small Cap Growth Fund underperformed both of its benchmarks, the Russell 2000 Index and the Russell 2000 Growth Index.

 

This underperformance relative to the Russell 2000 Index was primarily driven by a negative stock selection effect. Notably, the Health Care sector positively influenced the portfolio's performance while the Industrials sector was the largest detractor from performance.

 

The portfolio's performance relative to the Russell 2000 Growth Index was negatively impacted by stock selection, but was partially offset by a positive sector allocation. Notably stock selection and allocation to the Health Care sector, the Financials sector, and the Materials sector contributed positively to the portfolio's performance while stock selection in both the Industrials sector and the Information Technology sector were significant detractors from performance.

 

Energy, Financials, and Consumer Staples were the top performing sectors in the Russell 2000 benchmark. The Fund’s lack of exposure to the Energy sector, an underweight allocation in the Financials sector, and stock selection in the Consumer Staples sector detracted from performance. The benchmark sectors that notably detracted from performance included Utilities and Health Care. In the Fund, the Utilities sector showed an unexpected positive total effect due to lack of exposure. The Fund’s stock selection in the Health Care sector contributed to performance, but was partially offset by sector allocation.

 

Consumer Staples, Energy, and Information Technology were the top performing sectors in the Russell 2000 Growth benchmark. The Fund’s stock selection in Consumer Staples and Information Technology were headwinds to performance in addition to being underweight to the Energy sector. The sectors that detracted most from the benchmark's performance were Utilities and Health Care. In the Fund’s portfolio, Utilities had a positive total effect benefiting from the absence of portfolio allocation in this underperforming sector. Health Care, on the other hand, contributed positively to returns both in stock selection and favorable sector allocation.

Institutional Shares commenced operations on November 20, 2017. Performance for the periods prior to November 20, 2017 are a blended average annual return which includes the returns of Investor Shares prior to the commencement of operations of Institutional Shares.

The above chart represents historical performance of a hypothetical $500,000 investment over the past 10 years. Effective June 1, 2024, the Fund changed its primary benchmark index from the Russell 2000 Growth Index to the Russell 2000 Index due to regulatory requirements. The Fund retained the Russell 2000 Growth Index as a secondary benchmark because the Russell 2000 Growth Index more closely reflects the market sectors in which the Fund invests.

Summary
of
Significant
Accounting
Policies
The
Funds
are
investment
companies
and
follow
accounting
and
reporting
guidance
under
Financial
Accounting
Standards
Board
Accounting
Standards
Codification
Topic
946,
“Financial
Services
Investment
Companies.”
These
financial
statements
are
prepared
in
accordance
with
accounting
principles
generally
accepted
in
the
United
States
of
America
(“GAAP”),
which
require
management
to
make
estimates
and
assumptions
that
affect
the
reported
amounts
of
assets
and
liabilities,
the
disclosure
of
contingent
liabilities
at
the
date
of
the
financial
statements,
and
the
reported
amounts
of
increases
and
decreases
in
net
assets
from
operations
during
the
fiscal
year.
Actual
amounts
could
differ
from
those
estimates.
The
following
summarizes
the
significant
accounting
policies
of
each
Fund:
Security
Valuation
Securities
are
valued
at
market
prices
using
the
last
quoted
trade
or
official
closing
price
from
the
principal
exchange
where
the
security
is
traded,
as
provided
by
independent
pricing
services
on
each
Fund
business
day.
In
the
absence
of
a
last
trade,
securities
are
valued
at
the
mean
of
the
last
bid
and
ask
price
provided
by
the
pricing
service.
Shares
of
non-exchange
traded
open-end
mutual
funds
are
valued
at
net
asset
value
per
share
(“NAV”).
Short-term
investments
that
mature
in
sixty
days
or
less
may
be
valued
at
amortized
cost.
Pursuant
to
Rule
2a-5
under
the
Investment
Company
Act,
the
Trust’s
Board
of
Trustees
(the
“Board”)
has
designated
the
Adviser,
as
defined
in
Note
3,
as
each
Fund’s
valuation
designee
to
perform
any
fair
value
determinations
for
securities
and
other
assets
held
by
each
Fund.
The
Adviser
is
subject
to
the
oversight
of
the
Board
and
certain
reporting
and
other
requirements
intended
to
provide
the
Board
the
information
needed
to
oversee
the
Adviser’s
fair
value
determinations.
The
Adviser
is
responsible
for
determining
the
fair
value
of
investments
for
which
market
quotations
are
not
readily
available
in
accordance
with
policies
and
procedures
that
have
been
approved
by
the
Board.
Under
these
procedures,
the
Adviser
convenes
on
a
regular
and
ad
hoc
basis
to
review
such
investments
and
considers
a
number
of
factors,
including
valuation
methodologies
and
significant
unobservable
inputs,
when
arriving
at
fair
value.
The
Board
has
approved
the
Adviser’s
fair
valuation
procedures
as
a
part
of
each
Fund’s
compliance
program
and
will
review
any
changes
made
to
the
procedures.

The
Adviser
provides
fair
valuation
inputs.
In
determining
fair
valuations,
inputs
may
include
market-based
analytics
that
may
consider
related
or
comparable
assets
or
liabilities,
recent
transactions,
market
multiples,
book
values
and
other
relevant
investment
information.
Adviser
inputs
may
include
an
income-based
approach
in
which
the
anticipated
future
cash
flows
of
the
investment
are
discounted
in
determining
fair
value.
Discounts
may
also
be
applied
based
on
the
nature
or
duration
of
any
restrictions
on
the
disposition
of
the
investments.
The
Adviser
performs
regular
reviews
of
valuation
methodologies,
key
inputs
and
assumptions,
disposition
analysis
and
market
activity.
Fair
valuation
is
based
on
subjective
factors
and,
as
a
result,
the
fair
value
price
of
an
investment
may
differ
from
the
security’s
market
price
and
may
not
be
the
price
at
which
the
asset
may
be
sold.
Fair
valuation
could
result
in
a
different
NAV
than
a
NAV
determined
by
using
market
quotes.
GAAP
has
a
three-tier
fair
value
hierarchy.
The
basis
of
the
tiers
is
dependent
upon
the
various
“inputs”
used
to
determine
the
value
of
each
Fund’s
investments.
These
inputs
are
summarized
in
the
three
broad
levels
listed
below:
Level
1
-
Quoted
prices
in
active
markets
for
identical
assets
and
liabilities.
Level
2
-
Prices
determined
using
significant
other
observable
inputs
(including
quoted
prices
for
similar
securities,
interest
rates,
prepayment
speeds,
credit
risk,
etc.).
Short-term
securities
with
maturities
of
sixty
days
or
less
are
valued
at
amortized
cost,
which
approximates
market
value,
and
are
categorized
as
Level
2
in
the
hierarchy.
Municipal
securities,
long-term
U.S.
government
obligations
and
corporate
debt
securities
are
valued
in
accordance
with
the
evaluated
price
supplied
by
a
pricing
service
and
generally
categorized
as
Level
2
in
the
hierarchy.
Other
securities
that
are
categorized
as
Level
2
in
the
hierarchy
include,
but
are
not
limited
to,
warrants
that
do
not
trade
on
an
exchange,
securities
valued
at
the
mean
between
the
last
reported
bid
and
ask
quotation
and
international
equity
securities
valued
by
an
independent
third
party
with
adjustments
for
changes
in
value
between
the
time
of
the
securities’
respective
local
market
closes
and
the
close
of
the
U.S.
market.
Level
3
-
Significant
unobservable
inputs
(including
each
Fund’s
own
assumptions
in
determining
the
fair
value
of
investments).
The
aggregate
value
by
input
level,
as
of
June
30,
2024,
for
each
Fund’s
investments
is
included
at
the
end
of
each
Fund’s
Schedule
of
Investments.
Security
Transactions,
Investment
Income
and
Realized
Gain
and
Loss
Investment
transactions
are
accounted
for
on
the
trade
date.
Dividend
income
is
recorded
on
the
ex-dividend
date.
Foreign
dividend
income
is
recorded
on
the
ex-dividend
date
or
as
soon
as
possible
after
determining
the
existence
of
a
dividend
declaration
after
exercising
reasonable
due
diligence.
Income
and
capital
gains
on
some
foreign
securities
may
be
subject
to
foreign
withholding
taxes,
which
are
accrued
as
applicable.
Interest
income
is
recorded
on
an
accrual
basis.
Premium
is
amortized
to
the
next
call
date
above
par,
and
discount
is
accreted
to
maturity
using
the
effective
interest
method.
Identified
cost
of
investments
sold
is
used
to
determine
the
gain
and
loss
for
both
financial
statement
and
federal
income
tax
purposes.

Distributions
to
Shareholders
Each
Fund
declares
any
dividends
from
net
investment
income
and
pays
them
annually.
Any
net
capital
gains
realized
by
the
Funds
are
distributed
at
least
annually.
Distributions
to
shareholders
are
recorded
on
the
ex-dividend
date.
Distributions
are
based
on
amounts
calculated
in
accordance
with
applicable
federal
income
tax
regulations,
which
may
differ
from
GAAP.
These
differences
are
due
primarily
to
differing
treatments
of
income
and
gain
on
various
investment
securities
held
by
each
Fund,
timing
differences
and
differing
characterizations
of
distributions
made
by
each
Fund.
Federal
Taxes
Each
Fund
intends
to
continue
to
qualify
each
year
as
a
regulated
investment
company
under
Subchapter
M
of
Chapter
1,
Subtitle
A,
of
the
Internal
Revenue
Code
of
1986,
as
amended
(“Code”),
and
to
distribute
all
of
its
taxable
income
to
shareholders.
In
addition,
by
distributing
in
each
calendar
year
substantially
all
of
their
net
investment
income
and
capital
gains,
if
any,
the
Funds
will
not
be
subject
to
a
federal
excise
tax.
Therefore,
no
federal
income
or
excise
tax
provision
is
required.
Each
Fund
recognizes
interest
and
penalties,
if
any,
related
to
unrecognized
tax
benefits
as
income
tax
expense
in
the
Statements
of
Operations.
During
the
year,
each
Fund
did
not
incur
any
interest
or
penalties.
Each
Fund
files
a
U.S.
federal
income
and
excise
tax
return
as
required.
Each
Fund’s
federal
income
tax
returns
are
subject
to
examination
by
the
Internal
Revenue
Service
for
a
period
of
three
fiscal
years
after
they
are
filed.
As
of
June
30,
2024,
there
are
no
uncertain
tax
positions
that
would
require
financial
statement
recognition,
de-recognition
or
disclosure.
Income
and
Expense
Allocation
The
Trust
accounts
separately
for
the
assets,
liabilities
and
operations
of
each
of
its
investment
portfolios.
Expenses
that
are
directly
attributable
to
more
than
one
investment
portfolio
are
allocated
among
the
respective
investment
portfolios
in
an
equitable
manner.
The
DF
Dent
Midcap
Growth
Fund's
and
DF
Dent
Small
Cap
Growth
Fund's
class-specific
expenses
are
charged
to
the
operations
of
that
class
of
shares.
Income
and
expenses
(other
than
expenses
attributable
to
a
specific
class)
and
realized
and
unrealized
gains
or
losses
on
investments
are
allocated
to
each
class
of
shares
based
on
the
class’
respective
net
assets
to
the
total
net
assets
of
each
Fund.
Commitments
and
Contingencies
In
the
normal
course
of
business,
each
Fund
enters
into
contracts
that
provide
general
indemnifications
by
each
Fund
to
the
counterparty
to
the
contract.
Each
Fund’s
maximum
exposure
under
these
arrangements
is
dependent
on
future
claims
that
may
be
made
against
each
Fund
and,
therefore,
cannot
be
estimated;
however,
based
on
experience,
the
risk
of
loss
from
such
claims
is
considered
remote.
Each
Fund
has
determined
that
none
of
these
arrangements
requires
disclosure
on
each
Fund’s
statement
of
assets
and
liabilities.

Opinion
on
the
Financial
Statements
We
have
audited
the
accompanying
statements
of
assets
and
liabilities,
including
the
schedules
of
investments,
of
DF
Dent
Premier
Growth
Fund,
DF
Dent

Growth
Fund,
and
DF
Dent
Small
Cap
Growth
Fund
(the
“Funds”),
each
a

of
Forum
Funds,
as
of
June
30,
2024,
the
related
statements
of
operations
for
the
year
then
ended,
the
statements
of
changes
in
net
assets
and
financial
highlights
for
each
of
the
two
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
the
Funds
as
of
June
30,
2024,
the
results
of
their
operations
for
the
year
then
ended,
and
changes
in
net
assets
and
the
financial
highlights
for
each
of
the
two
years
in
the
period
then
ended,
in
conformity
with
accounting
principles
generally
accepted
in
the
United
States
of
America.
The
Funds’
financial
highlights
for
the
years
ended
June
30,
2022,
and
prior,
were
audited
by
other
auditors
whose
report
dated
August
24,
2022,
expressed
an
unqualified
opinion
on
those
financial
highlights.
Basis
for
Opinion
These
financial
statements
are
the
responsibility
of
the
Funds’
management.
Our
responsibility
is
to
express
an
opinion
on
the
Funds’
financial
statements
based
on
our
audits.
We
are
a
public
accounting
firm
registered
with
the
Public
Company
Accounting
Oversight
Board
(United
States)
(“PCAOB”)
and
are
required
to
be
independent
with
respect
to
the
Funds
in
accordance
with
the
U.S.
federal
securities
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
audits
to
obtain
reasonable
assurance
about
whether
the
financial
statements
are
free
of
material
misstatement
whether
due
to
error
or
fraud.
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
June
30,
2024,
by
correspondence
with
the
custodian
and
brokers;
when
replies
were
not
received
from
brokers,
we
performed
other
auditing
procedures.
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.
We
have
served
as
the
Funds’
auditor
since
2023.

Statement
Regarding
the
Basis
for
the
Board’s
Approval
of
Investment
Advisory
Contract
(Item
11
of
Form
N-CSR)
At
the
June
14,
2024
Board
Meeting,
the
Board,
including
the
Independent
Trustees,
considered
the
approval
of
the
continuance
of
the
investment
advisory
agreement
between
the
Adviser
and
the
Trust
pertaining
to
the
Funds
(the
“Advisory
Agreement”).
In
preparation
for
its
deliberations,
the
Board
requested
written
responses
from
the
Adviser
to
a
due
diligence
questionnaire
circulated
on
the
Board's
behalf
concerning
the
services
provided
by
the
Adviser.
The
Board
also
discussed
the
materials
with
Fund
counsel
and,
as
necessary,
with
the
Trust's
administrator.
During
its
deliberations,
the
Board
received
an
oral
presentation
from
the
Adviser
and
was
advised
by
independent
Trustee
counsel.
At
the
meeting,
the
Board
reviewed,
among
other
matters:
(1)
the
nature,
extent
and
quality
of
the
services
provided
to
the
Funds
by
the
Adviser,
including
information
on
the
investment
performance
of
the
Funds;
(2)
the
costs
of
the
services
provided
and
profitability
to
the
Adviser
with
respect
to
its
relationship
with
each
Fund;
(3)
information
concerning
the
advisory
fee
and
total
expense
ratio
of
each
Fund,
including
a
comparison
to
the
fees
and
expenses
of
a
relevant
peer
group
of
funds;
(4)
the
extent
to
which
economies
of
scale
may
be
realized
as
each
Fund
grows
and
whether
the
advisory
fee
enables
investors
to
share
in
the
benefits
of
economies
of
scale;
and
(5)
other
benefits
received
by
the
Adviser
from
its
relationship
with
the
Funds.
The
Board
recognized
that
the
evaluation
process
with
respect
to
the
Adviser
was
an
ongoing
one
and,
in
this
regard,
the
Board
considered
information
provided
by
the
Adviser
at
regularly
scheduled
meetings
during
the
past
year.
Nature,
Extent
and
Quality
of
Services
Based
on
written
materials
received,
a
presentation
from
senior
representatives
of
the
Adviser
and
a
discussion
with
the
Adviser
about
the
Adviser’s
personnel,
operations
and
financial
condition,
the
Board
considered
the
quality
of
services
provided
by
the
Adviser
under
the
Advisory
Agreement.
In
this
regard,
the
Board
considered
information
regarding
the
experience,
qualifications
and
professional
background
of
the
portfolio
managers
and
other
personnel
at
the
Adviser
with
principal
responsibility
for
the
Funds,
as
well
as
the
investment
philosophy
and
decision-making
process
of
the
Adviser
and
the
capability
and
integrity
of
the
Adviser’s
senior
management
and
staff.

The
Board
considered
also
the
adequacy
of
the
Adviser’s
resources.
The
Board
noted
the
Adviser’s
representation
that
the
firm
is
in
stable
financial
condition,
that
the
firm
is
able
to
meet
its
expense
reimbursement
obligations
to
the
Funds,
and
that
the
firm
has
the
operational
capability
and
necessary
staffing
and
experience
to
continue
providing
high-quality
investment
advisory
services
to
the
Funds.
Based
on
the
presentation
and
the
materials
provided
by
the
Adviser
in
connection
with
the
Board’s
consideration
of
the
renewal
of
the
Advisory
Agreement,
the
Board
concluded
that,
overall,
it
was
satisfied
with
the
nature,
extent
and
quality
of
services
provided
to
the
Funds
under
the
Advisory
Agreement.
Performance
In
connection
with
a
presentation
by
the
Adviser
regarding
its
approach
to
managing
the
Funds,
the
Board
reviewed
the
performance
of
each
Fund
compared
to
its
respective
benchmark
and
to
a
peer
group
of
funds.
The
Board
observed
that
the
DF
Dent
Premier
Growth
Fund
underperformed
its
primary
benchmark
index,
the
S&P
500
Index,
for
the
one-,
three-,
five-,
and
10-year
periods
ended
March
31,
2024,
and
outperformed
the
S&P
500
Index
for
the
period
since
the
DF
Dent
Premier
Growth
Fund’s
inception
on
July
16,
2001.
The
Board
also
considered
the
DF
Dent
Premier
Growth
Fund’s
performance
relative
to
an
independent
peer
group
of
funds
identified
by

Inc.
(“Strategic

as
having
characteristics
similar
to
those
of
the

The
Board
observed
that,
based
on
information
provided
by
Strategic

the
DF
Dent

Growth
Fund
underperformed
the
average
of
its
Strategic
Insight
peer
group
for
the
one-,
three-,
five-,
and
10-year
periods
ended
March
31,
2024.
The
Board
observed
that
the
DF
Dent
Midcap
Growth
Fund
underperformed
its
primary
benchmark
index,
the
Russell
Midcap
Growth
Index,
for
the
one-,
three-,
five-,
and
10-year
periods
ended
March
31,
2024,
and
outperformed
the
Russell
Midcap
Growth
Index
for
the
period
since
the
DF
Dent
Midcap
Growth
Fund’s
inception
on
July
1,
2011.
The
Board
observed
that
the
DF
Dent
Midcap
Growth
Fund
underperformed
the
average
of
its
Strategic
Insight
peer
group
for
the
one-
and
five-year
periods
ended
March
31,
2024,
and
outperformed
the
average
of
its
Strategic

peer
group
for
the
three-year
period
ended

The
Board
observed
that
the
DF
Dent
Small
Cap
Growth
Fund
outperformed
its
primary
benchmark
index,
the
Russell
2000
Growth
Index,
for
the
one-,
three-,
five-,
and
10-year
periods
ended
March
31,
2024,
and
for
the
period
since
the
DF
Dent
Small
Cap
Growth
Fund’s
inception
on
November
1,
2013.
The
Board
observed
that
the
DF
Dent
Small
Cap
Growth
Fund
outperformed
the
average
of
its
Strategic
Insight
peer
group
for
the
one-,
three-,
and
five-year
periods
ended
March
31,
2024.
The
Board
considered
the
Adviser’s
representation
that
the
relative
underperformance
over
the
one-
and
three-
year
periods
for
each
of
the
DF
Dent
Premier
Growth
Fund
and
DF
Dent
Midcap
Growth
Fund
could
be
attributed,
in
part,
to
stock
selection
within
the
health
care
sector
and,
in
particular,
life
sciences
companies
that
benefitted
from
the
COVID-19
pandemic
but
had
begun
to
underperform
in
the
years
since
the
pandemic
subsided.
With
respect
to
the
DF
Dent
Premier
Growth
Fund,
the
Board
considered
further
the
Adviser’s
representation
that
the
DF
Dent
Premier
Growth
Fund’s
performance
was
also
negatively
impacted
by
underexposure
to
certain
mega-cap
stocks,
including
certain
of
the
“Magnificent
Seven”
stocks,
within
the
technology
sector

the
index,
noting
that
such
mega-cap
stocks
drove
a
significant
portion
of
the
index’s
performance
over
recent
years.
The
Board
also
considered
the
Adviser’s
representation
that
each
of
the
Funds
is
designed
to
provide
long-term
capital
appreciation,
and
that
the
Funds
continued
to
show
the
ability
to
outperform
their
respective
benchmark
indices
over
the
long
term.
In
consideration
of
the
Adviser’s
investment
strategies
and
the
foregoing
performance
information,
among
other
considerations,
the
Board
determined
that
each
Fund
could
benefit
from
the
Adviser’s
continued
management
of
the
Funds.
Compensation
The
Board
evaluated
the
Adviser’s
compensation
for
providing
advisory
services
to
each
of
the
Funds
and
analyzed
comparative
information
on
actual
advisory
fee
rates
and
actual
total
expenses
of
the
Funds’
respective
Strategic
Insight
peer
groups.
The
Board
noted
that
the
net
advisory
fee
rate
for
each
Fund
was
higher
than
the
median
of
its
respective
Strategic
Insight
peer
group,
but
the
net
total
expense
ratio
for
each
Fund
was
less
than
the
median
of
its
respective
Strategic
Insight
peer
group.
The
Board
noted
that
the
Adviser’s
net
advisory
fee
rates
and
net
total
expense
ratios
for
each
Fund
were
within
a
reasonable
range
of
the
median
of
their
respective
peer
groups.
The
Board
also
noted
that
the
Adviser
had
in
place
a
contractual
expense
waiver
for
each
of
the
Funds,
pursuant
to
which
the
Adviser
continued
to
waive
a
portion
of
its
investment
advisory
fees
in
order
to
subsidize
the
Funds’
expenses.
Based
on
the
foregoing
and
other
relevant
factors,
the
Board
concluded
that
the
Adviser’s
current
advisory
fee
rates
charged
to
each
of
the
Funds
were
reasonable.
Cost
of
Services
and
Profitability
The
Board
considered
information
provided
by
the
Adviser
regarding
the
costs
of
services
and
its
profitability
with
respect
to
the
Funds.
In
this
regard,
the
Board
considered
the
Adviser’s
operating
expenses
and
other
resources
devoted
to
the
Funds,
as
well
as
the
information
provided
by
the
Adviser
regarding
costs
and
overall
profitability.
The
Board
noted
that
the
Adviser
had
in
place
a
contractual
expense
waiver
to
ensure
the
expense
ratios
for
the
Funds
remained
at
competitive
levels.
The
Board
also
noted
that
the
Adviser
had
committed
to
extending
the
expense
cap
arrangements
for
all
of
the
Funds
through
at
least
the
duration
of
the
current
Advisory
Agreement
renewal
period.
The
Board
further
noted
the
Adviser’s
representation
that
the
Funds
were
less
profitable
to
the
Adviser
than
the
Adviser’s
overall
investment
management
business
because,
although
the
Funds
represented
a
relatively
small
percentage
of
the
Adviser’s
total
assets
under
management,
the
Funds
represented
a
relatively
high
percentage
of
the
Adviser’s
overall
administrative,
reporting,
and
compliance
expenses.
Based
on
these
and
other
applicable
considerations,
the
Board
concluded
that
the
Adviser’s
profits
attributable
to
management
of
the
Funds
were
reasonable.
Economies
of
Scale
The
Board
evaluated
whether
the
Funds
would
benefit
from
any
economies
of
scale.
In
this
respect,
the
Board
considered
each
Fund’s
fee
structure,
asset
size,
and
net
expense
ratio,
giving
effect
to
each
Fund’s
expense

waiver
agreement.
The
Board
reviewed
relevant
materials
and
discussed
whether
the
use
of
breakpoints
would
be
appropriate
at
this
time,
recognizing
that
an
analysis
of
economies
of
scale
is
most
relevant
when
a
fund
has
achieved
a
substantial
size
and
has
growing
assets
and
that,
if
a
fund’s
assets
are
stable
or
decreasing,
the
significance
of
economies
of
scale
may
be
reduced.
The
Board
observed
that,
although
the
DF
Dent
Midcap
Growth
Fund
experienced
periods
of
substantial
asset
growth
in
prior
periods,
the
DF
Dent
Midcap
Growth
Fund’s
assets
were
not
at
a
level
that
reflected
meaningful
economies
of
scale,
in
part,
due
to
a
recent
decline
in
assets.
Noting
the
relatively
low
asset
levels
for
the
DF
Dent
Premier
Growth
Fund
and
DF
Dent
Small
Cap
Growth
Fund,
the
decrease
in
the
DF
Dent
Premier
Growth
Fund’s
asset
levels
over
the
past
year,
the
existence
of
the
Adviser’s
ongoing
expense
limitation
arrangements,
as
well
as
the
Adviser’s
representation
that
the
level
of
the
Funds’
assets
had
not
provided
meaningful
economies
of
scale,
among
other
relevant
considerations,
the
Board
concluded
that
any
existing
economies
of
scale
were
captured
by
the
expense
cap
structures
of
the
Funds
and
that
the
advisory
fees
for
each
Fund
remained
reasonable
in
light
of
the
current
information
provided
to
the
Board
with
respect
to
economies
of
scale.
Other
Benefits
The
Board
noted
the
Adviser’s
representation
that,
aside
from
its
contractual
advisory
fees,
it
does
not
benefit
in
a
material
way
from
its
relationship
with
the
Funds.
Based
on
the
foregoing
representation,
the
Board
concluded
that
other
benefits
received
by
the
Adviser
from
its
relationship
with
the
Funds
were
not
a
material
factor
to
consider
in
approving
the
continuation
of
the
Advisory
Agreement.
Conclusion
The
Board
did
not
identify
any
single
factor
as
being
of
paramount
importance,
and
different
Trustees
may
have
given
different
weight
to
different
factors.
The
Board
reviewed
a
memorandum
from
Fund
counsel
discussing
the
legal
standards
applicable
to
its
consideration
of
the
Advisory
Agreement.
Based
on
its
review,
including
consideration
of
each
of
the
factors
referenced
above,
and
its
consideration
of
information
received
throughout
the
year
from
the
Adviser,
the
Board
determined,
in
the
exercise
of
its
business
judgment,
that
the
advisory
arrangement,
as
outlined
in
the
Advisory
Agreement,
was
fair
and
reasonable
in
light
of
the
services
performed
or
to
be
performed,
expenses
incurred
or
to
be
incurred
and
such
other
matters
as
the
Board
considered
relevant.
