  NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

1. Organization:

The Advisors’ Inner Circle Fund (the “Trust”) is organized as a Massachusetts business trust under an Amended and Restated Agreement and Declaration of Trust dated February 18, 1997. The Trust is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”), as an open-end management investment company with 43 funds. The financial statements herein are those of the CIBC Atlas Disciplined Equity Fund (the “Disciplined Equity Fund”), CIBC Atlas Mid Cap Equity Fund (the “Mid Cap Equity Fund”), CIBC Atlas Income Opportunities Fund (the “Income Opportunities Fund”), CIBC Atlas All Cap Growth Fund (the “All Cap Growth Fund”), CIBC Atlas Equity Income Fund (the “Equity Income Fund”), and the CIBC Atlas International Growth Fund (the “International Growth Fund”), (each a “Fund” and collectively the “Funds”). Each Fund is classified as a “diversified” investment company under the 1940 Act. The investment objective of the Disciplined Equity Fund is to seek long-term capital appreciation and, secondarily, current income by investing primarily in equity securities of U.S. and foreign issuers. The investment objective of the Mid Cap Equity Fund is to seek long-term capital appreciation by investing primarily (at least 80% of its net assets) in equity securities of mid-capitalization companies. The investment objective of the Income Opportunities Fund is to seek current income and long-term capital appreciation by investing primarily (at least 80% of its net assets) in income producing securities. The investment objective of the All Cap Growth Fund is to seek long-term capital appreciation by investing primarily in equity securities of U.S. companies. The investment objective of the Equity Income Fund is to seek current income, and secondarily, modest capital appreciation by investing primarily (at least 80% of its net assets) in equity securities. The investment objective of the International Growth Fund is to seek long-term capital appreciation by investing primarily in common stocks of U.S. issuers and common stocks and American Depositary Receipts (“ADRs”) of foreign issuers. The financial statements of the remaining funds of the Trust are presented separately. The assets of each fund are segregated, and a shareholder’s interest is limited to the fund in which shares are held.

On January 26, 2018, the shareholders of the Geneva Advisors All Cap Growth Fund (the “All Cap Growth Predecessor Fund”) and Geneva Advisors Equity Income Fund (the “Equity Income Predecessor Fund” and, together with the All Cap Growth Predecessor Fund, the “Predecessor Funds”) approved a proposed agreement and plan of reorganization (the “Reorganization”) that provided for

the acquisition of all the assets and assumption of all the liabilities of the Predecessor Funds in exchange for Institutional Class Shares of the Funds on February 12, 2018 in a tax-free transaction. The All Cap Growth Fund and the Equity Income Fund had no operations prior to the Reorganization. The Predecessor Funds were managed by Geneva Advisors, LLC prior to its acquisition by AT Investment Advisers, Inc. The Predecessor Funds had substantially similar investment objectives, investment strategies, policies and restrictions as those of the All Cap Growth Fund and the Equity Income Fund. The financial statements and financial highlights reflect the financial information of the Predecessor Funds prior to February 12, 2018.

Effective June 25, 2018, the name of the AT Disciplined Equity Fund, AT Mid Cap Equity Fund, AT Income Opportunities Fund, AT All Cap Growth Fund and AT Equity Income Fund changed to CIBC Atlas Disciplined Equity Fund, CIBC Atlas Mid Cap Equity Fund, CIBC Atlas Income Opportunities Fund, CIBC Atlas All Cap Growth Fund and CIBC Atlas Equity Income Fund, respectively. Each Fund’s name change had no impact on the Funds’ operations or investment objectives.

Effective June 25, 2018, AT Investment Advisers, Inc. changed its name to CIBC Private Wealth Advisors, Inc. The name change had no impact to the management or operations of the Funds.

At a meeting held on February 27, 2018, the Board of Trustees of The Advisors’ Inner Circle Fund approved a change in the fiscal year end from August 31st to October 31st for the CIBC Atlas All Cap Growth Fund and CIBC Atlas Equity Income Fund. The change in fiscal year end was effective on October 31, 2018.

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 fair value of assets, the reported amount of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during

 

47


THE ADVISORS’ INNER CIRCLE FUND

     

CIBC ATLAS FUNDS

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 pm ET if a security’s primary 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. If available, debt securities are priced based upon valuations provided by independent, third-party pricing agents. 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 available on the automated pricing feeds from our 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, 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.

Investment companies held in the Funds’ portfolios are valued at the published net asset value.

Options for which the primary market is a national securities exchange are valued at the last quoted sale price on the primary exchange or market (foreign or domestic) on which they are traded, or, if there is no such reported sale, at the most recent quoted bid price for long options

THE ADVISORS’ INNER CIRCLE FUND

     

CIBC ATLAS FUNDS

and at the most recent ask price for written options. Options not traded on a national securities exchange are valued in accordance with Fair Value Procedures established by the Funds’ Board of Trustees (the “Board”).

Securities for which market prices are not “readily available” are valued in accordance with Fair Value Procedures established by the Funds’ 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 the value after taking into consideration relevant information reasonably available to the Committee. As of April 30, 2021, there were no securities which were fair valued by the Committee.

In accordance with the authoritative guidance on fair value measurements and disclosure under U.S. GAAP, the Funds disclose the 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 — Other significant observable inputs (includes quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, referenced indices, quoted prices in inactive markets, adjusted quoted prices in active markets, adjusted quoted prices on foreign equity securities that were adjusted in accordance with pricing procedures approved by the Board, etc.); and

 

49


THE ADVISORS’ INNER CIRCLE FUND

     

CIBC ATLAS FUNDS

APRIL 30, 2021

(Unaudited)

           

 

   

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 six months ended April 30, 2021, there have been no significant changes to the Funds’ fair valuation methodology.

Federal Income Taxes — It is each Fund’s intention to continue to qualify as a regulated investment company for Federal income tax purposes by complying with the appropriate provisions of Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended. 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 provision in the current period or year. 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 three tax year ends), on-going analysis of and changes to tax laws, regulations and interpretations thereof.

As of and during the six months ended April 30, 2021, the Funds did not have a liability for any unrecognized tax benefits. The Funds recognize interest and penalties, if any, related to unrecognized tax benefits as income tax expense in the Statements of Operations. During the six months ended April 30, 2021, the Funds did not incur any interest or penalties.

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 sale of investment securities are based on the specific identification method. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date. Interest income is recognized on the

 

50


THE ADVISORS’ INNER CIRCLE FUND

     

CIBC ATLAS FUNDS

APRIL 30, 2021

(Unaudited)

           

 

accrual basis. Interest income is recognized on the accrual basis from settlement date. Purchase discounts and premiums on debt securities are accreted and amortized to maturity and included in interest income.

Investments in Real Estate Investment Trusts (“REITs”) — Dividend income from REITs is recorded based on the income included in distributions received from the REIT investments using published REIT reclassifications, including some management estimates when actual amounts are not available. Distributions received in excess of this estimated amount are recorded as a reduction of the cost of investments or reclassified to capital gains. The actual amounts of income, return of capital, and capital gains are only determined by each REIT after its fiscal year-end, and may differ from the estimated amounts.

Foreign Currency Translation — The books and records of the Funds are maintained in U.S. dollars. Investment securities and other assets and liabilities denominated in a foreign currency are translated into U.S. dollars on the date of valuation. The Funds do not isolate that portion of realized or unrealized gains and losses resulting from changes in the foreign exchange rate from fluctuations arising from changes in the market prices of the securities. These gains and losses are included in net realized and gains and losses on investments and net change in unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on investments on the Statement of Operations. Net realized and unrealized gains and losses on foreign currency transactions represent net foreign exchange gains or losses from foreign currency exchange contracts, disposition of foreign currencies, currency gains or losses realized between trade and settlement dates on securities transactions and the difference between the amount of the investment income and foreign withholding taxes recorded on the Funds’ books and the U.S. dollar equivalent amounts actually received or paid.

Options Written/Purchased — The Income Opportunities Fund invests in financial options contracts to add return or to economically hedge its existing portfolio securities, or securities that the Fund intends to purchase, against fluctuations in fair value caused by changes in prevailing market interest rates. The option techniques utilized are to hedge against changes in interest rates, foreign currency exchange rates or securities’ prices in order to establish more definitely the effective return on securities or currencies held or intended to be acquired by the Fund, to reduce the volatility of the currency exposure associated with an investment in non-U.S. securities, or as an efficient means of adjusting exposure to the bond, equity and currency markets and not for

speculation. When the Fund writes or purchases an option, an amount equal to the premium received or paid by the Fund is recorded as a liability or an asset and is subsequently adjusted to the current market value of the option written or purchased. Premiums received from writing or paid for purchasing options which expire unexercised are treated by the Fund on the expiration date as realized gains or losses. The difference between the premium and the amount paid or received on effecting a closing purchase or sale transaction, including brokerage commissions, is also treated as a realized gain or loss. If an option is exercised, the premium paid or received is added to the cost of the purchase or proceeds from the sale in determining whether the Fund has realized a gain or a loss.

For the six months ended April 30, 2021, the average quarterly balances for written options were as follows:

Average Market Value Balance Short for Written Options:             $148,429

The risk in writing a call option is that the Fund gives up the opportunity for profit if the market price of the security increases. The risk in writing a put option is that the Fund may incur a loss if the market price of the security decreases and the option is exercised. The risk in purchasing an option is that the Fund pays a premium whether or not the option is exercised. The Fund also has the additional risk of being unable to enter into a closing transaction at an acceptable price if a liquid secondary market does not exist. Option contracts also involve the risk that they may not work as intended due to unanticipated developments in market conditions or other causes.

Finally, for written options, the risk exists that losses could exceed amounts disclosed on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Net realized and unrealized gains or losses associated with written equity options are reported on the Statement of Operations as net realized gain or loss on written equity options and net change in unrealized depreciation or appreciation on written equity options. Written options transactions entered into during the six months ended April 30, 2021, are subject to equity risk.

Master Limited Partnerships (“MLPs”) — The Funds may invest in MLPs. MLPs are limited partnerships or limited liability companies, whose partnership units or limited liability interests are listed and traded on a U.S. securities exchange, and are treated as publicly traded partnerships for federal income tax purposes. To qualify to be treated as a partnership for tax purposes, an MLP must receive at least 90% of its income from

THE ADVISORS’ INNER CIRCLE FUND

qualifying sources as set forth in Section 7704(d) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”). These qualifying sources include activities such as the exploration, development, mining, production, processing, refining, transportation, storage and marketing of mineral or natural resources. MLPs generally have two classes of owners, the general partner and limited partners. MLPs that are formed as limited liability companies generally have two analogous classes of owners, the managing member and the members. For purposes of this section, references to general partners also apply to managing members and references to limited partners also apply to members. The general partner is typically owned by a major energy company, an investment fund, the direct management of the MLP or is an entity owned by one or more of such parties. The general partner may be structured as a private or publicly traded corporation or other entity. The general partner typically controls the operations and management of the MLP through an equity interest of as much as 2% in the MLP plus, in many cases, ownership of common units and subordinated units. Limited partners own the remainder of the MLP through ownership of common units and have a limited role in the MLP’s operations and management.

Expenses — Expenses that are directly related to the Funds are charged to the Funds. Other operating expenses of the Trust are prorated to the funds based on the number of funds and/or relative daily net assets.

Dividends and Distributions to Shareholders — The Funds distribute substantially all of their net investment income, if any, at least annually. For each Fund, any net realized capital gains, if any, are distributed annually. All distributions are recorded on ex-dividend date.

Redemption Fees — Prior to February 12, 2018, the All Cap Growth Fund and Equity Income Fund imposed a 2.00% redemption fee on the current value of shares redeemed less than 60 days from the date of purchase. After February 12, 2018, no redemption fee was charged. The redemption fee was recorded as an increase to paid-in capital. The redemption fees retained by the Funds are reported on the Statements of Changes in Net Assets.

3. Transactions with Affiliates:

Certain officers of the Trust are also employees of SEI Investments Global Funds Services (the “Administrator”), a wholly owned subsidiary of SEI Investments Company, and/or SEI Investments Distribution Co. (the “Distributor”). Such officers are paid no fees by the Trust, other than the Chief Compliance Officer

(“CCO”) as described below, for serving as officers of the Trust.

A portion of the services provided by the CCO and his staff, whom are employees of the Administrator, are paid for by the Trust as incurred. The services include regulatory oversight of the Trust’s advisors and service providers, as required by SEC regulations. The CCO’s services and fees 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 management and administrative services to the Funds. For these services, the Administrator is paid an asset-based fee, subject to certain minimums, which will vary depending on the number of share classes and the average daily net assets of the Funds. For the six months ended April 30, 2021, the Disciplined Equity Fund, Mid Cap Equity Fund, Income Opportunities Fund, All Cap Growth Fund, Equity Income Fund and International Growth Fund paid $360,244, $200,121, $135,645, $56,782, $37,734 and $66,972, respectively, for these 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. During the six months ended April 30, 2021, the Disciplined Equity Fund, Mid Cap Equity Fund, Income Opportunities, All Cap Growth Fund, Equity Income Fund and International Growth Fund earned credits of $29, $10, $7, $33, $25 and $7, respectively, which were used to offset transfer agent expenses. These amounts are labeled as “Fees Paid Indirectly” on the Statements of Operations.

MUFG Union Bank, N.A. acts as custodian (the “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:

Under the terms of an investment advisory agreement, CIBC Private Wealth Advisors, Inc. (the “Adviser”) provides investment advisory services to the Disciplined Equity Fund at a fee, which is calculated daily and paid monthly at the following rates based on the average daily net assets of the Disciplined Equity Fund: 0.695% of the first $250 million, 0.670% of the next $250 million,

 

54


THE ADVISORS’ INNER CIRCLE FUND

     

CIBC ATLAS FUNDS

APRIL 30, 2021

(Unaudited)

           

 

0.645% of the next $500 million, 0.620% of the next $1.5 billion, 0.595% of the next $2.5 billion, 0.570% of the next $2.5 billion, 0.545% of the next $2.5 billion and 0.520% of any amount above $10 billion.

Under the terms of an investment advisory agreement, the Adviser provides investment advisory services to the Mid Cap Equity Fund, Income Opportunities Fund, All Cap Growth Fund, Equity Income Fund, and International Growth Fund at a fee, which is calculated daily and paid monthly, at an annual rate of 0.75% of the average daily net assets of the Mid Cap Equity Fund, 0.60% of the average daily net assets of the Income Opportunities Fund, 0.82% of the average daily net assets of the All Cap Growth Fund, 0.80% of the average daily net assets of the Equity Income Fund and 0.82% of the average daily net assets of the International Growth Fund.

The Adviser contractually agreed to reduce fees and reimburse expenses to the extent necessary to keep the total annual Fund operating expenses (excluding 12b-1 fees, shareholder servicing fees, interest, taxes, brokerage commissions, acquired fund fees and expenses, and extraordinary expenses, collectively “excluded expenses”) from exceeding 0.80%, 1.00%, 0.85%, 1.10%, 1.10%, and 1.21% of the average daily net assets of the Disciplined Equity Fund, Mid Cap Equity Fund, Income Opportunities Fund, All Cap Growth Fund, Equity Income Fund, and International Growth Fund, respectively, until February 28, 2022. Refer to waiver of investment advisory fees on the Statements of Operations for fees waived for the six months ended April 30, 2021. In addition, if at any point total annual Fund operating expenses (not including excluded expenses) are below a Fund’s expense cap, the Adviser may receive from the Fund the difference between total annual operating expenses (not including excluded expenses) and the expense cap to recover all or a portion of its (or, with respect to the All Cap Growth Fund and Equity Income Fund) prior fee reductions or expense reimbursements made during the preceding three-year period during which this agreement was in place. This agreement may be terminated at any time. As of April 30, 2021, there are no previously waived fees that are eligible to be recaptured from the Disciplined Equity Fund, Mid Cap Equity Fund, Income Opportunities Fund and International Growth Fund. During the six months ended April 30, 2021, the All Cap Growth Fund and the Equity Income Fund completed the recapture of previously waived fees and had no previously waived fees eligible for recapture as of period end.

8. Federal Tax Information:

The amount and character of income and capital gain distributions to be paid, if any, are determined in accordance with Federal income tax regulations, which may differ from U.S. GAAP. 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. The permanent differences are primarily related to foreign currency gain/(loss), REITs capital gain, paydown gain/(loss), partnership investments, and perpetual bonds.

The tax character of dividends and distributions paid during the years ended October 31, 2020 and October 31, 2019 were as follows:

Late-year loss deferrals represent ordinary losses realized on investment transactions from January 1, 2020 through October 31, 2020. The funds can elect to treat them as arising in the first date of the following fiscal year.

The difference between book-basis and tax-basis unrealized appreciation (depreciation) is due to differences in the timing of recognition of gains and losses on investments for tax and book purposes. The Funds’ net unrealized

9. Concentration of Risk:

Equity Risk (Disciplined Equity Fund, Mid Cap Equity Fund, Income Opportunities Fund, All Cap Growth Fund, Equity Income Fund, International Growth 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 the Funds’ equity securities may fluctuate drastically from day to day. Individual

 

60


THE ADVISORS’ INNER CIRCLE FUND

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 the Funds.

Foreign Securities Risk (Disciplined Equity Fund) — Investments in securities of foreign issuers (including direct investments as well as investments through ADRs) can be more volatile than investments in U.S. companies. Diplomatic, political, or economic developments, including nationalization or appropriation, could affect investments in foreign companies. Foreign securities markets generally have less trading volume and less liquidity than U.S. markets. In addition, the value of securities denominated in foreign currencies, and of dividends from such securities, can change significantly when foreign currencies strengthen or weaken relative to the U.S. dollar. Financial statements of foreign issuers are governed by different accounting, auditing, and financial reporting standards than the financial statements of U.S. issuers and may be less transparent and uniform than in the United States. Thus, there may be less information publicly available about foreign issuers than about most U.S. issuers. Transaction costs are generally higher than those in the United States and expenses for custodial arrangements of foreign securities may be somewhat greater than typical expenses for custodial arrangements of similar U.S. securities. Some foreign governments levy withholding taxes against dividend and interest income. Although in some countries a portion of these taxes are recoverable, the non-recovered portion will reduce the income received from the securities comprising the portfolio.

Foreign Currency Risk (Mid Cap Equity Fund, Income Opportunities Fund, All Cap Growth Fund, Equity Income Fund, International Growth Fund) — Because non-U.S. securities are usually denominated in currencies other than the dollar, the value of a Fund’s portfolio may be influenced by currency exchange rates and exchange control regulations. The currencies of emerging market countries may experience significant declines against the U.S. dollar, and devaluation may occur subsequent to investments in these currencies by a Fund. Inflation and rapid fluctuations in inflation rates have had, and may continue to have, negative effects on the economies and securities markets of certain emerging market countries.

Micro-, Small- and Medium-Capitalization Company Risk (Mid Cap Equity Fund, All Cap Growth Fund, Equity Income Fund, International Growth Fund) — Investing in equity securities of micro-, small- and medium-capitalization companies often involves greater risk than is customarily associated with

 

61


THE ADVISORS’ INNER CIRCLE FUND

     

CIBC ATLAS FUNDS

APRIL 30, 2021

(Unaudited)

           

 

investments in larger capitalization companies. This increased risk may be due to the greater business risks of smaller size companies, limited markets and financial resources, narrow product lines and the frequent lack of depth of management. Stock prices of smaller companies may be based in substantial part on future expectations rather than current achievements. The securities of smaller companies are often traded over-the-counter and, even if listed on a national securities exchange, may not be traded in volumes typical for that exchange. Consequently, the securities of smaller companies may be less liquid, may have limited market stability and may be subject to more severe, abrupt or erratic market movements than securities of larger, more established companies or the market averages in general. Further, smaller companies may have less publicly available information and, when available, it may be inaccurate or incomplete.

Preferred Stock Risk (Mid Cap Equity Fund, Income Opportunities Fund, All Cap Growth Fund, Equity Income Fund) — Preferred stocks are sensitive to interest rate changes, and are also subject to equity risk, which is the risk that stock prices will fall over short or extended periods of time. The rights of preferred stocks on the distribution of a company’s assets in the event of a liquidation are generally subordinate to the rights associated with a company’s debt securities.

Interest Rate Risk (Income Opportunities Fund) — The risk that the value of fixed income securities will fall due to rising interest rates. Risks associated with rising interest rates are heightened given that interest rates in the U.S. are at, or near, historic lows.

Credit Risk (Income Opportunities Fund) — The risk that the issuer of a security or the counterparty to a contract will default or otherwise become unable to honor a financial obligation.

Corporate Fixed Income Securities Risk (Income Opportunities Fund) — The prices of the Fund’s corporate fixed income securities respond to economic developments, particularly interest rate changes, as well as to perceptions about the creditworthiness and business prospects of individual issuers.

U.S. Government Securities Risk (Income Opportunities Fund) — The Fund’s investment in U.S. government obligations may include securities issued or guaranteed as to principal and interest by the U.S. government, or its agencies or instrumentalities. Payment of principal and interest on U.S. government obligations may be backed by the full faith and credit of the United States or may be backed solely by the issuing or guaranteeing agency or instrumentality

itself. There can be no assurance that the U.S. government would provide financial support to its agencies or instrumentalities (including government-sponsored enterprises) where it is not obligated to do so. In addition, U.S. government securities are not guaranteed against price movements due to changing interest rates.

Management Risk (Disciplined Equity Fund, All Cap Growth Fund, Equity Income Fund, International Growth Fund) — The investment techniques and risk analysis used by the Fund’s portfolio managers may not produce the desired results.

Market Risk (Disciplined Equity Fund, All Cap Growth Fund, Equity Income Fund, International Growth Fund) — The prices of and the income generated by the Fund’s securities may decline in response to, among other things, investor sentiment, general economic and market conditions, regional or global instability, and currency and interest rate fluctuations.

Similarly, 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.

Convertible Securities Risk (Mid Cap Equity Fund, Income Opportunities Fund, Equity Income Fund) — The value of a convertible security is influenced by changes in interest rates (with investment value declining as interest rates increase and increasing as interest rates decline) and the credit standing of the issuer. The price of a convertible security will also normally vary in some proportion to changes in the price of underlying common stock because of the conversion or exercise feature.

Investment Style Risk (Mid Cap Equity Fund, All Cap Growth Fund, Equity Income Fund, International Growth Fund) — The Fund pursues a “growth style” of investing, meaning that the Fund invests in equity securities of companies that the Adviser believes will increase their earnings at a certain rate that is generally higher than the rate expected for non-growth companies. If a growth company does not meet these expectations, the price of its stock may decline significantly, even if it has increased earnings. Many growth companies do not pay dividends. Companies that do not pay dividends often have greater

THE ADVISORS’ INNER CIRCLE FUND

stock price declines during market downturns. Over time, a growth investing style may go in and out of favor, and when out of favor, may cause the Fund to underperform other equity funds that use differing investing styles.

Fixed Income Market Risk (Income Opportunities Fund) — The prices of the Fund’s fixed income securities respond to economic developments, particularly interest rate changes, as well as to perceptions about the creditworthiness of individual issuers, including governments and their agencies. In the case of foreign securities, price fluctuations will reflect international economic and political events, as well as changes in currency valuations relative to the U.S. dollar.

Mortgage-Backed Securities Risk (Income Opportunities Fund) — 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.

Asset-Backed Securities Risk (Income Opportunities 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.

High Yield Bond Risk (Income Opportunities Fund) — High yield, or “junk,” bonds are highly speculative securities that are usually issued by smaller, less creditworthy and/or highly leveraged (indebted) companies. Compared with investment-grade bonds, high yield bonds are considered to carry a greater degree of risk and are considered to be less likely to make payments of interest and principal. In particular, lower-quality high yield bonds (rated CCC, CC, C, or unrated securities judged to be of comparable quality) are subject to a greater degree of credit risk than higher-quality high yield bonds and may be near default. High yield bonds rated D are in default. Market developments and the financial and business conditions of the corporation issuing these securities generally influence their price and liquidity more than changes in interest rates, when compared to investment-grade debt securities.

Derivatives Risk (Income Opportunities Fund) — The Fund’s use of put and call options is subject to market risk, leverage risk, correlation risk, liquidity risk, credit risk and valuation risk. Credit risk is described above. Leverage risk and liquidity risk are described below. Market risk is the risk that the market value of an investment may move up and down, sometimes rapidly

THE ADVISORS’ INNER CIRCLE FUND

and unpredictably. Correlation risk is the risk that changes in the value of the derivative may not correlate perfectly with the underlying asset, rate or index. Valuation risk is the risk that the derivative may be difficult to value. Each of these risks could cause the Fund to lose more than the principal amount invested in a derivative instrument.

Leverage Risk (Income Opportunities 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.

Liquidity Risk (Income Opportunities 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.

Risks of Investing in Other Investment Companies (Income Opportunities Fund) — To the extent the Fund invests in other investment companies, such as ETFs and closed-end funds, the Fund will be subject to substantially the same risks as those associated with the direct ownership of the securities held by such other investment companies. As a shareholder of another investment company, the Fund relies on that investment company to achieve its investment objective. If the investment company fails to achieve its objective, the value of the Fund’s investment could decline, which could adversely affect the Fund’s performance. By investing in another investment company, Fund shareholders indirectly bear the Fund’s proportionate share of the fees and expenses of the other investment company, in addition to the fees and expenses that Fund shareholders directly bear in connection with the Fund’s own operations.

Because closed-end funds and ETFs are listed on national stock exchanges and are traded like stocks listed on an exchange, their shares potentially may trade at a discount or premium to their net asset value. Investments in closed-end funds and ETFs are also subject to brokerage and other trading costs, which could result in greater expenses to the Fund. In addition, because the value of closed-end funds and ETF shares depends on the demand in the market, the Adviser may not be able to liquidate the Fund’s holdings at the most optimal time, which could adversely affect Fund performance.

Depositary Receipts Risk (All Cap Growth Fund, Equity Income Fund, International Growth Fund) — Depositary receipts, including ADRs, are

 

65


THE ADVISORS’ INNER CIRCLE FUND

     

CIBC ATLAS FUNDS

APRIL 30, 2021

(Unaudited)

           

 

certificates evidencing ownership of shares of a foreign issuer that are issued by depositary banks and generally trade on an established market. ADRs are subject to many of the risks associated with investing directly in foreign securities, including, among other things, political, social and economic developments abroad, currency movements, and different legal, regulatory and tax environments.

The Fund may invest in unsponsored ADRs, which are issued by one or more depositaries without a formal agreement with the company that issues the underlying securities. Holders of unsponsored ADRs generally bear all the costs thereof, and the depositaries of unsponsored ADRs frequently are under no obligation to distribute shareholder communications received from the issuers of the underlying securities or to pass through voting rights with respect to the underlying securities. In addition, the issuers of the securities underlying unsponsored ADRs are not obligated to disclose material information in the United States and, therefore, there may be less information available regarding such issuers and there may not be a correlation between such information and the market value of the ADRs.

Emerging Markets Securities Risk (All Cap Growth Fund, Equity Income Fund, International Growth Fund) — The Fund’s investments in emerging markets securities are considered speculative and subject to heightened risks in addition to the general risks of investing in foreign securities. Unlike more established markets, emerging markets may have governments that are less stable, markets that are less liquid and economies that are less developed. In addition, the securities markets of emerging market countries may consist of companies with smaller market capitalizations and may suffer periods of relative illiquidity; significant price volatility; restrictions on foreign investment; and possible restrictions on repatriation of investment income and capital. Furthermore, foreign investors may be required to register the proceeds of sales, and future economic or political crises could lead to price controls, forced mergers, expropriation or confiscatory taxation, seizure, nationalization or creation of government monopolies. In addition, periodic U.S. Government restrictions on investments in issuers from certain foreign countries may require the Fund to sell such investments at inopportune times, which could result in losses to the Fund.

Large-Capitalization Company Risk (Disciplined Equity, All Cap Growth Fund, Equity Income Fund, International Growth Fund) — The large capitalization companies in which the Fund may invest may lag the performance of smaller capitalization companies because large capitalization companies may

experience slower rates of growth than smaller capitalization companies and may not respond as quickly to market changes and opportunities.

MLPs Risk (Equity Income Fund) — To the extent that an MLP’s interests are all in a particular industry, the MLP will be negatively impacted by economic events adversely impacting that industry. Additional risks of investing in a MLP also include those involved in investing in a partnership as opposed to a corporation, such as limited control of management, limited voting rights and tax risks. MLPs may be subject to state taxation in certain jurisdictions, which will have the effect of reducing the amount of income paid by the MLP to its investors.

REIT Risk (Equity Income Fund, International Growth Fund) — REITs are susceptible to the risks associated with direct ownership of real estate, such as the following: declines in property values; increases in property taxes, operating expenses, interest rates or competition; overbuilding; zoning changes; and losses from casualty or condemnation.

Foreign Issuer Risk (All Cap Growth Fund, Equity Income Fund, International Growth Fund) — Investing in foreign issuers, including direct investments and investments through ADRs, poses additional risks since political, social, regulatory, currency 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 U.S. Securities of foreign companies may not be registered with the SEC and foreign issuers are generally not subject to the regulatory controls imposed on U.S. issuers and, as a consequence, there is generally less publicly available information about foreign securities than is available about domestic securities. Income from foreign securities owned by the Fund may be reduced by a withholding tax at the source, which would reduce income received from the securities comprising the portfolio. Foreign securities may also be more difficult to value than securities of U.S. issuers.

Foreign Company Risk (Mid Cap Equity Fund, Income Opportunities Fund) — Investing in foreign companies, including direct investments and through 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 generally are denominated in a foreign currency. Changes in the value of a

currency compared to the U.S. dollar may affect (positively or negatively) the value of the 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 (the “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 publicly available information about foreign securities than is available about domestic securities. Income from foreign securities owned by the Fund may be reduced by a withholding tax at the source, which would reduce income received from the securities comprising the portfolio. Foreign securities may also be more difficult to value than securities of U.S. issuers. In addition, periodic U.S. Government restrictions on investments in issuers from certain foreign countries may require the Fund to sell such investments at inopportune times, which could result in losses to the Fund. 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.

10. Line of Credit:

The Funds entered into an agreement on July 24, 2020, which enables them to participate in an $30 million uncommitted revolving line of credit with the Custodian. The agreement is set to expire on July 23, 2021. The proceeds from the borrowings shall be used to finance the Funds’ short-term general working capital requirements, including the funding of shareholder redemptions. Interest is charged to the Funds based on borrowings during the period at the Custodian’s current reference rate. As of April 30, 2021, there were no borrowings outstanding in the Funds.

11. Other:

At April 30, 2021, the percentage of total shares outstanding held by a limited number of shareholders for each Fund, which were comprised of omnibus accounts that were held on behalf of various individual shareholders, was as follows:

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 claim is considered remote.

12. 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 adjustments were required to the financial statements as of April 30, 2021.

  DISCLOSURE OF FUND EXPENSES (Unaudited)

 

All mutual funds have operating expenses. As a shareholder of a mutual fund, your investment is affected by these ongoing costs, which include (among others) costs for fund 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 the mutual fund’s gross income and directly reduce its final investment return. These expenses are expressed as a percentage of the mutual fund’s average net assets; this percentage is known as the mutual 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 from November 1, 2020 to April 30, 2021.

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 ending 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) for the period 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 mutual funds.
