THE ADVISORS’ INNER CIRCLE FUND   

CAMBIAR FUNDS

APRIL 30, 2023 (UNAUDITED)

 

 

 

 

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS   

1. Organization:

The Advisors’ Inner Circle Fund (the “Trust”) was 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, as an open-end management investment company with 28 portfolios. The financial statements herein are those of the Cambiar Opportunity Fund, Cambiar SMID Fund, Cambiar Small Cap Fund, Cambiar International Equity Fund and Cambiar International Small Cap Fund (collectively the “Funds,” individually a “Fund”). The Opportunity Fund and International Equity Fund seek total return and capital preservation. The SMID Fund, Small Cap Fund and International Small Cap Fund seek long-term capital appreciation. The goal of each of the Funds is to provide above-average performance in both rising and falling market periods by investing in stocks that have limited downside risk and positive upside potential. 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.

Effective August 15, 2017, the Funds changed their fiscal year end to October 31. The previous fiscal year end was April 30.

The Global Value Fund liquidated on April 8, 2022.

2. Significant Accounting Policies:

The following are significant accounting policies, which are consistently followed in the 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 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. 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.

Securities for which market prices are not “readily available” are required to be fair valued under the 1940 Act.

In December 2020, the SEC adopted Rule 2a-5 under the 1940 Act, establishing requirements to determine fair value in good faith for purposes of the 1940 Act. The rule permits fund boards to designate a fund’s investment adviser to perform fair-value determinations, subject to board oversight and certain other conditions. The rule also defines when market quotations are “readily available” for purposes of the 1940 Act and requires a fund to fair value a portfolio investment when a market quotation is not readily available. The SEC also adopted new Rule 31a-4 under the 1940 Act, which sets forth recordkeeping requirements associated with fair-value determinations. The compliance date for Rule 2a-5 and Rule 31a-4 was September 8, 2022.

Effective September 8, 2022, and pursuant to the requirements of Rule 2a-5, the Trust’s Board of Trustees (the “Board”) designated the Adviser as the Board’s valuation designee to perform fair-value determinations for the Funds through a Fair Value Committee (the “Committee”) established by the Adviser and approved new Adviser Fair Value Procedures for the Funds. Prior to September 8, 2022, fair-value determinations were performed in accordance with the Trust’s Fair Value Procedures established by the Board and were implemented through a Fair Value Committee designated by the Board.

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 Funds’ 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, the Funds’ Administrator 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 the 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.

The Cambiar International Equity Fund and Cambiar International Small Cap Fund use Intercontinental Exchange Data Pricing & Reference Data, LLC. (“ICE”) as a third party fair valuation vendor. ICE provides a fair value for foreign securities held by the Fund based on certain factors and methodologies (involving, generally, tracking valuation correlations between the U.S. market and each non-U.S. security) applied by ICE in the event that there is a movement in the U.S. market that exceeds a specific threshold that has been established by the Committee. The Committee has also established a “confidence interval” which is used to determine the level of correlation between the value of a foreign security and movements in the U.S. market before a particular security is fair valued when the threshold is exceeded. In the event that the threshold established by the Committee is exceeded on a specific day, the Cambiar International Equity Fund and Cambiar International Small Cap Fund value the non-U.S. securities in its portfolio that exceed the applicable “confidence interval” based upon the fair values provided by ICE. In such event, it is not necessary to hold a Committee meeting. In the event that the Adviser believes that the fair values provided by ICE are not reliable, the Adviser contacts the Fund’s Administrator and requests that a meeting of the Committee be held. As of April 30, 2023, none of the investments held by the Funds were fair valued.

If a local market in which the Fund owns securities is closed for one or more days, the Cambiar International Equity Fund and Cambiar International Small Cap Fund shall value all securities held in the corresponding currency based on the fair value prices provided by ICE using the predetermined confidence interval discussed above.

In accordance with the authoritative guidance on fair value measurements and disclosure under 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 under ASC 820 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 the Adviser’s pricing procedure, etc.)

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.

Federal Income Taxes — It is each Fund’s intention to qualify or 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, and to distribute substantially all of its income to share-holders. 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. 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.

The Cambiar International Equity Fund and Cambiar International Small Cap Fund may be subject to taxes imposed by 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.

As of April 30, 2023, 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 period ended April 30, 2023, 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. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date and interest income is recognized on the accrual basis. Costs used in determining realized gains and losses on the sales of investment securities are based on specific identification.

Cash Equivalents — Idle cash and currency balances may be swept into various overnight sweep accounts and are classified as cash equivalents on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Funds maintain cash in bank deposit accounts which, at times, may exceed United States federally insured limits. Amounts swept are available on the next business day.

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 Statements 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.

Swap Contracts — The Funds are authorized to enter into various contracts, including total return swaps and equity swap contracts, for the purposes of capitalizing on valuation anomalies that exist in the market. Swaps are a two-party contract in which the seller (buyer) will pay to the buyer (seller) the difference between the current value of a security and its value at the time the contract was entered.

In a long position, the Funds will receive or pay an amount based upon the amount, if any, by which the notional amount of the swap would have increased or decreased in value had it been invested in the particular stocks, plus the dividends that would have been received on those stocks, less a floating rate of interest on the notional amount of the swap. In a short position, the Fund will receive or pay an amount based upon the amount, if any, by which the notional amount of the swap would have decreased or increased in value had it sold the particular stocks short, less the dividends that would have been paid on those stocks, plus a floating rate of interest on the notional amount of the swap. All of these components are reflected in the market value of the swaps.

Periodic payments made or received are recorded as realized gains or losses. At year end, the Statements of Assets and Liabilities reflect, if any, unrealized appreciation or depreciation and accrued periodic payments for swap contracts the Funds may have open at year end.

Entering into swap contracts involves, to varying degrees, elements of credit and market risk in excess of the amounts recognized on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Such risks involve the possibility that there will be no liquid market for these contracts, that the counterparty to the contract may default on its obligation to perform and that there may be unfavorable changes in market conditions. Swaps outstanding at year end, if any, are listed on the Schedules of Investments. In connection with swap contracts, cash or securities may be segregated as collateral by the Funds’ custodian.

As of April 30, 2023, the Funds did not hold swap contracts.

There is the risk that the counterparty refuses to continue to enter into swap agreements with the Funds’ in the future, or requires increased fees, which could impair the Funds’ ability to achieve its investment objective. A counterparty may also increase its collateral requirements, which may limit the Funds ability to use leverage and reduce investment returns. In addition, if the Funds cannot locate a counterparty willing to enter into transactions with the Funds, they will not be able to implement their investment strategy.

To reduce counterparty risk with respect to OTC transactions, the Funds have entered into master netting arrangements, established within the Fund’s International Swap and Derivatives Association, Inc. (“ISDA”) master agreements, which allow the Funds to make (or to have an entitlement to receive) a single net payment in the event of default (close-out

CAMBIAR FUNDS

netting) for outstanding payables and receivables with respect to certain OTC positions in purchased equity options and swaps for each individual counterparty. In addition, the Funds may require that certain counterparties post cash and/or securities in collateral accounts to cover their net payment obligations for those derivative contracts subject to ISDA master agreements. If the counterparty fails to perform under these contracts and agreements, the cash and/or securities will be made available to the Funds.

For financial reporting purposes, the Funds do not offset derivative assets and derivative liabilities that are subject to netting arrangements in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Bankruptcy or insolvency laws of a particular jurisdiction may impose restrictions on or prohibitions against the right of offset in bankruptcy, insolvency or other events.

Collateral terms are contract specific for OTC derivatives. For derivatives traded under an ISDA master agreement, the collateral requirements are typically calculated by netting the mark to market amount of each transaction under such agreement and comparing that amount to the value of any collateral currently pledged by the Funds or the counterparty.

For financial reporting purposes, cash collateral that has been pledged to cover obligations of the Funds, if any, is reported separately on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities as cash pledged as collateral. Non-cash collateral pledged by the Funds, if any, is noted in the Schedules of Investments. Generally, the amount of collateral due from or to a party must exceed a minimum transfer amount threshold before a transfer has to be made. To the extent amounts due to the Funds from its counterparties are not fully collateralized, contractually or otherwise, the Funds bear the risk of loss from counterparty nonperformance.

As of April 30, 2023, the Funds did not hold any collateral.

Expenses — Expenses of the Trust which 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 that class of shares. Income, realized and unrealized gains and losses 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 Funds will distribute substantially all of their net investment income and net realized capital gains, if any, at least annually. All distributions are recorded on ex-dividend date.

Redemption Fees — The Cambiar Opportunity Fund, The Cambiar SMID Fund, Cambiar Small Cap Fund, Cambiar International Equity Fund and Cambiar International Small Cap Fund retain a redemption fee of 2.00% on redemptions of capital shares held for less than ninety days. For the period ended April 30, 2023, the Funds retained fees of $–, $9,428, $11,718, $– and $–, respectively. Such fees are retained by the Funds for the benefit of the remaining shareholders and are recorded as additions to fund capital.

3. Administration, Distribution, Shareholder Servicing, Transfer Agent and Custody Agreements:

The Funds and SEI Investments Global Fund Services (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, which will vary depending on the number of share classes and the average daily net assets of the Funds. For the period ended April 30, 2023, the Funds incurred the following fees for these services: $88,173, $35,877, $25,806, $82,483 and $7,973 for the Cambiar Opportunity Fund, Cambiar SMID Fund, Cambiar Small Cap Fund, Cambiar International Equity Fund and Cambiar International Small Cap Fund respectively.

The Funds have adopted a shareholder servicing fee plan under which a shareholder servicing fee up to 0.25% of average daily net assets attributable to the Investor Class Shares of the Funds and the Institutional Share Class of the Cambiar International Small Cap Fund will be paid to the Distributor. The Distributor may perform, or may compensate other service providers for providing, certain shareholder and administrative services. Shareholder servicing fees in excess of 0.25% of average daily net assets are paid by Cambiar Investors, LLC (the “Adviser”).

Certain officers of the Trust are also officers of the Administrator, which is a wholly-owned subsidiary of SEI Investments Company and/or the Distributor. Such officers are paid no fees by the Trust for serving as officers of the Trust.

A portion of the services provided by the Chief Compliance Officer (“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 have been approved by and are reviewed by the Board.

DST Systems, Inc. serves as the Transfer Agent and dividend disbursing agent for the Funds under a transfer agency agreement.

The Funds earn cash management credits which are used to offset transfer agent expenses. During the period ended April 30, 2023, the Cambiar Opportunity, Cambiar SMID, Cambiar Small Cap, Cambiar International Equity and Cambiar International

Small Cap Funds earned credits of $8,668, $531, $1,800, $3,850 and $76, respectively, which were used to offset transfer agent expenses. These amounts are listed as “Fees Paid Indirectly” on the Statements of Operations.

U.S. Bank, N.A. serves 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 and sold by the Fund’s.

4. Investment Advisory Agreements:

Under the terms of the investment advisory agreement, the advisory fees for each Fund are as follows:

 

         Advisory Fee

6. 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. GAAP. These book/tax differences may be temporary or permanent in nature. The permanent differences are primarily attributable to investments in partnerships, reclassification of long term capital gain distributions on REITs, foreign currency translations and reclassifications of distributions. The permanent differences that are credited or charged to Paid-in Capital and Distributable Earnings as of October 31, 2022 is primarily related to deemed distribution due to shareholder redemptions

Accordingly, the following reclassifications (primarily attributable to deemed income and capital gain distribution) that have been made to/from the following accounts:

 

     Distributable

During the year ended October 31, 2022, the Funds did not utilize capital loss carryforwards, to offset capital gains.

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 appreciation/(depreciation) difference is attributable primarily to wash sales and partnerships.

The Federal tax cost and aggregate gross unrealized appreciation and depreciation on investments for Federal income tax purposes at April 30, 2023, were as follows:

7. Concentrated Risks:

At April 30, 2023, the net assets of the Cambiar International Equity Fund and the Cambiar International Small Cap Fund were substantially comprised of foreign denominated securities and/or currency. Changes in currency exchange rates will affect the value of, and investment income from, such securities and currency.

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

The Funds’ use of derivatives, including options and swaps, is subject to market risk, leverage risk, correlation risk, liquidity risk, counterparty risk, valuation risk and hedging risk. Market risk is the risk that the market value of an investment may move up and down, sometimes rapidly and unpredictably. Markets for securities in which the Fund invests may decline significantly in response to adverse issuer, political, regulatory, market, economic or other developments that may cause broad changes in market value, public perceptions concerning these developments, and adverse investor sentiment or publicity. 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. Leverage risk is the risk that the use of leverage may 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. Correlation risk is the risk that changes in the value of the derivative may not correlate closely or at all with the underlying asset, rate or index. Liquidity risk is the risk that the derivative may be difficult or impossible to sell at the time and the price that the Fund would like, which may result in the Fund accepting a lower price to sell a security, selling other securities to raise cash or giving up another investment opportunity, any of which could have a negative effect on the Fund’s management or performance. Counterparty risk is the risk that the counterparty to a derivative contract will default or otherwise fail to honor a financial obligation. Valuation risk is the risk that the derivative may be difficult to value. Hedging risk is the risk that derivatives instruments used for hedging purposes may also limit any potential gain that may result from the increase in value of the hedged asset. To the extent that the Fund engages in hedging strategies, there can be no assurance that such strategy will be effective or that there will be a hedge in place at any given time. Each of these risks could cause a Fund to lose more than the principal amount invested in a derivative instrument.

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.

  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 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 mutual fund’s gross income and directly reduce your investment return. These expenses are expressed as a percentage of a mutual fund’s average net assets; this percentage is known as a 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 (November 1, 2022 to April 30, 2023).

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 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 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 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 period, 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.

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.
