 NOTES TO 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 26 portfolios. The financial statements herein are those of the Cambiar Opportunity Fund, Cambiar SMID Fund, Cambiar Small Cap Fund and Cambiar International Equity Fund (collectively the “Funds,” individually a “Fund”) each of which are diversified Funds. The Opportunity Fund and International Equity Fund seek total return and capital preservation. The SMID Fund and 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.

The Cambiar International Small Cap Fund ceased operations and Liquidated on December 29, 2023.

2. Significant Accounting Policies:

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”) and are presented in U.S. dollars which is the functional currency of the Funds. The Funds are an investment company and therefore applies the accounting and reporting guidance issued by the U.S. Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) in Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 946, Financial Services — Investment Companies. The following are significant accounting policies which are consistently followed in the preparation of the financial statements.

Use of Estimates — The preparation of financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the fair value 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 valued in accordance with fair value procedures (the “Fair Value Procedures”) established by the Adviser and approved by the Trust’s Board of Trustees (the “Board”). Pursuant to Rule 2a-5 under the 1940 Act, the Board has designated the Adviser as the “valuation designee” to determine the fair value of securities and other instruments for which no readily available market quotations are available. The Fair Value Procedures are implemented through a Fair Value Committee (the “Committee”) of the Adviser. No securities were fair valued by the committee as of April 30, 2024.

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 uses 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 values 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, 2024, the Cambiar International Equity Fund total market value of securities that were fair valued by the Committee were $118,158,996 or 82.9% of Net Assets.

If a local market in which the Fund owns securities is closed for one or more days, the Cambiar International Equity 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 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, 2024, 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, 2024, 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.

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 SMID Fund, Cambiar Small Cap Fund and Cambiar International Equity 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, 2024, the Funds retained fees of $1,948, $280 and $238, 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 six months ended April 30, 2024, the Funds incurred the following fees for these services: $99,043, $50,794, $26,760 and $45,439 for the Cambiar Opportunity Fund, Cambiar SMID Fund, Cambiar Small Cap Fund and Cambiar International Equity 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 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.

SS&C Global Investor & Distribution Solutions, Inc. serves as transfer agent for the Funds under the transfer agency agreement with the Trust.

The Funds earn cash management credits which are used to offset transfer agent expenses. During the period ended April 30, 2024, the Cambiar Opportunity, Cambiar SMID, Cambiar Small Cap and Cambiar International Equity earned credits of $9,736, $1,358, $1,850 and $3,818, 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 Funds.

4. Investment Advisory Agreements:

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

 

      Advisory Fee 

Cambiar Opportunity Fund

   0.60%

Cambiar SMID Fund

   0.80%

Cambiar Small Cap Fund

   0.85%

Cambiar International Equity Fund

   0.90%*

 

*

The Fund pays the Adviser a fee at an annual rate of 0.90% on the first $2 billion in assets, 0.80% for assets between $2 billion and $10 billion, and 0.70% for assets over $10 billion.

The Adviser has contractually agreed, through March 1, 2025, to waive a portion of its advisory fees and to assume expenses, which are calculated based on each Fund’s average daily net assets, in order to keep net operating expenses (excluding interest, taxes, brokerage commissions, acquired fund fees and expenses, non-routine expenses, and shareholder servicing fees) of each Fund from exceeding certain contractual expense limitations. Accordingly, the contractual expense limitations for each Fund are as follows:

 

     Contractual
Expense
 Limitations 

Cambiar Opportunity Fund

   0.65%

Cambiar SMID Fund

   0.85%

Cambiar Small Cap Fund

   0.90%

Cambiar International Equity Fund

   0.90%

Refer to waiver of investment advisory fees on the Statements of Operations for fees waived for the period ended April 30, 2024. In addition, if at any point it becomes unnecessary for the Adviser to reduce fees or make expense reimbursements, the Board may permit the Adviser to retain the difference between the total annual fund operating expenses and the expense caps listed above to recapture all or a portion of its prior fee reductions or reimbursements made during the preceding three-year period. During the period ended April 30, 2024, the Funds did not recoup any previously waived fees.

At April 30, 2024, the amount the Adviser may seek as reimbursement of previously waived fees and reimbursed expenses is as follows:

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 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, 2023 is primarily related to merger adjustments with the Great Lakes Funds.

7. Concentrated Risks:

At April 30, 2024, the net assets of the Cambiar International Equity 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, 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.

8. Indemnification

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.

The foregoing is not intended to be a complete discussion of the risks associated with investing in a Fund. Please review each Fund’s current prospectus for additional disclosures regarding the principal risks associated with investing in a Fund.

9. Line of Credit:

The Funds entered into an agreement on August 1, 2023, which enables them to participate in a $100 million uncommitted, secured, revolving line of credit with the Custodian. The agreement expires on July 29, 2024. The proceeds from the borrowings shall be used to provide temporary liquidity to the Funds as necessary in order to meet shareholder redemption needs. Interest is charged to the Funds based on the outstanding principal balance of the borrowings at an annual rate equal to the Custodian’s then current prime-lending rate. The Funds’ holdings serve as collateral against any borrowings under the line of credit.

11. Fund Merger

At a meeting held on May 23, 2022, the Trust’s Board considered a proposal for the reorganization three series of the Managed Portfolio Series trust (the “Acquired Funds”) into two series of the Trust managed by Cambiar (the “Acquiring Funds”). Specifically, the Board approved the reorganization of the Great Lakes Large Cap Value Fund and the Great Lakes Disciplined Equity Fund into the Cambiar Opportunity Fund, and the Great Lakes Small Cap Opportunity Fund into the Cambiar Small Cap Fund (together, the “Reorganization”). The investment objectives of the Acquired Funds were to seek total return, while the Cambiar Opportunity Fund’s investment objective is to seek total return and capital preservation, and the Cambiar Small Cap Fund seeks long-term appreciation. The principal investment strategies of the Acquired Funds and Acquiring Funds shared a number of similarities.

The Board of Trustees of the Managed Portfolio Series trust determined that the Reorganization was in the best interest of the Acquired Funds’ shareholders and approved an Agreement and Plan of Reorganization (the “Plan of Reorganization”), which was subsequently approved by the Trust’s Board on May 23, 2022. The transfer of shareholder assets under the Reorganization was tax-free, meaning that neither the shareholders of the Acquired Funds nor the Acquiring Funds realized any gains or losses for federal income tax purposes as a result of the transaction. The Reorganization occurred following the close of business on December 9, 2022, whereby the assets and the stated liabilities of the Acquired Funds were transferred to the corresponding Acquiring Funds.

 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, 2023 to April 30, 2024).

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.
