Notes to Investment Portfolios
(UNAUDITED) | 07.31.2017
 
Valuation of securities | The price of each Fund's shares is based on the NAV per share of each class of a Fund. The NAV of each Fund's shares is normally calculated each business day as of the scheduled close of regular trading on the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) and the Nasdaq, typically 4:00 p.m., Eastern time. A Fund will not treat an intraday unscheduled disruption in trading on either the NYSE or Nasdaq as a closure of that particular market, and will price its shares as of the normally scheduled close of the NYSE and Nasdaq if the disruption directly affects only one of those markets. If the NYSE or other securities exchange modifies the published closing price of securities traded on that exchange after the NAV is calculated, the Funds are not required to recalculate their NAV.

Generally, the Funds value portfolio securities for which market quotations are readily available at market value; however, a Fund may adjust the market quotation price to reflect events that occur between the close of those markets and the time of the Fund's determination of the NAV.

A market quotation may be considered unreliable or unavailable for various reasons, such as:

·
The quotation may be stale;

·
The security is not actively traded;

·
Trading on the security halted before the close of the trading market;

·
The security is newly issued;

·
Issuer-specific or vendor specific events occurred after the security halted trading; or

·
Due to the passage of time between the close of the market on which the security trades and the close of the NYSE and the Nasdaq.

Issuer-specific events may cause the last market quotation to be unreliable. Such events may include:

·
A merger or insolvency;

·
Events which affect a geographical area or an industry segment, such as political events or natural disasters; or

·
Market events, such as a significant movement in the U.S. markets.

For most securities, both the latest transaction prices and adjustments are furnished by independent pricing services approved by the Board of Trustees of the Fund ("Board"). The Funds value all other securities and assets for which market quotations are unavailable or unreliable at their fair value in good faith using Pricing and Valuation Procedures ("Procedures") approved by the Board. A Fund may fair value small-cap securities, for example, that are thinly traded or illiquid. Fair value is the amount that the owner might reasonably expect to receive for the security upon its current sale. Fair value requires consideration of all appropriate factors, including indications of fair value available from independent pricing services. A fair value price is an estimated price and may vary from the prices used by other mutual funds to calculate their NAV.
 
Pursuant to the Procedures, the Board has delegated the day-to-day responsibility for applying and administering the Procedures to a valuation committee ("Valuation Committee") comprised of certain officers of the Fund and other employees of Carillon Tower Advisers, Inc. ("Carillon Tower"), the Funds' investment adviser. The composition of this Valuation Committee may change from time to time. The Valuation Committee follows fair valuation guidelines as set forth in the Procedures to make fair value determinations on all securities and assets for which market quotations are unavailable or unreliable. For portfolio securities fair valued by the Valuation Committee, Carillon Tower checks fair value prices by comparing the fair value of the security with values that are available from other sources (if any). Carillon Tower compares the fair value of the security to the next-day opening price or next actual sale price, when applicable. Carillon Tower documents and reports to the Valuation Committee such comparisons when they are made. The Valuation Committee reports such comparisons to the Board at their regularly scheduled meetings. The Board retains the responsibility for periodic review and consideration of the appropriateness of any fair value pricing methodology established or implemented for a Fund. Fair value pricing methods, the Procedures and independent pricing services can change from time to time as approved by the Board, and may occur as a result of look-back testing results or changes in industry best practices.

There can be no assurance, however, that a fair value price used by a Fund on any given day will more accurately reflect the market value of a security than the market price of such security on that day, as fair valuation determinations may involve subjective judgments made by the Valuation Committee. Fair value pricing may deter shareholders from trading a Fund's shares on a frequent basis in an attempt to take advantage of arbitrage opportunities resulting from potentially stale prices of portfolio holdings. However, it cannot eliminate the possibility of frequent trading. Specific types of securities are valued as follows:

·
Domestic exchange-traded equity securities | Market quotations are generally available and reliable for domestic exchange-traded equity securities. If the prices provided by the independent pricing service and independent quoted prices are unavailable or unreliable, the Valuation Committee will fair value the security using the Procedures.

·
Foreign exchange-traded equity securities | If market quotations are available and reliable for foreign exchange-traded equity securities, the securities will be valued at the market quotations. Because trading hours for certain foreign securities end before the close of the NYSE and the Nasdaq, closing market quotations may become unreliable. Consequently, fair valuation of portfolio securities may occur on a daily basis. The Valuation Committee, using the Procedures, may fair value a security if certain events occur between the time trading ends in a foreign market on a particular security and a Fund's NAV calculation. The Valuation Committee, using the Procedures, may also fair value a particular security if the events are significant and make the closing price unavailable or unreliable. If an issuer-specific event has occurred that Carillon Tower determines, in its judgment, is likely to have affected the closing price of a foreign security, the security will be priced at fair value. Carillon Tower also utilizes a screening process from a pricing vendor to indicate the degree of certainty, based on historical data, that the closing price in the principal market where a foreign security trades is not the current market value as of the NYSE close. Securities and other assets quoted in foreign currencies are valued in U.S. dollars based on exchange rates provided by an independent pricing service. The pricing vendor, pricing methodology or degree of certainty may change from time to time. Securities primarily traded on foreign markets may trade on days that are not business days of the Funds. Because the NAV of a Fund's shares is determined only on business days of the Fund, the value of the securities of a Fund that invests in foreign securities may change on days when shareholders would not be able to purchase or redeem shares of a Fund.


·
Fixed income securities | Government bonds, corporate bonds, asset-backed bonds, municipal bonds, short-term securities (investments that have a maturity date of 60 days or less) and convertible securities, including high yield or junk bonds, normally are valued on the basis of evaluated prices provided by independent pricing services. Evaluated prices provided by the independent pricing services may be determined without exclusive reliance on quoted prices, and may reflect appropriate factors such as institution-size trading in similar groups of securities, developments related to special securities, dividend rate, maturity and other market data. If the evaluated prices provided by the independent pricing service and independent quoted prices are unavailable or unreliable, the Valuation Committee will fair value the security using the Procedures.

·
Futures and Options | Futures and options are valued on the basis of market quotations, if available and reliable. If prices provided by independent pricing services and independent quoted prices are unavailable or unreliable, the Valuation Committee will fair value the security using the Procedures. During the period from November 1, 2016 to July 31, 2017, none of the Funds held futures or options.

·
Investment companies and exchange-traded funds (ETFs) | Investments in other open-end investment companies are valued at their reported NAV. The prospectuses for these companies explain the circumstances under which these companies will use fair value pricing and the effect of the fair value pricing.  In addition, investments in closed-end funds and ETFs are valued on the basis of market quotations, if available and reliable. If the prices provided by independent pricing services and independent quoted prices are unavailable or unreliable, the Valuation Committee will fair value the security using the Procedures.
 
Fair value measurements | Each Fund utilizes a three-level hierarchy of inputs to establish a classification of fair value measurements. The three levels are defined as:
 
Level 1—Valuations based on unadjusted quoted prices for identical securities in active markets;
 
Level 2—Valuations based on inputs other than quoted prices that are observable, either directly or indirectly, including inputs in markets that are not considered active; and

Level 3—Valuations based on inputs that are unobservable and significant to the fair value measurement, and may include the Valuation Committee's own assumptions on determining fair value of investments.

Inputs that are used in determining fair value of an investment may include price information, credit data, volatility statistics, and other factors. These inputs can be either observable or unobservable. The availability of observable inputs can vary between investments and is affected by various factors such as the type of investment and the volume and/or level of activity for that investment or similar investments in the marketplace. The inputs will be considered by the Valuation Committee, along with any other relevant factors, in the calculation of an investment's fair value. Each Fund uses prices and inputs that are current as of the valuation date, which may include periods of market dislocations. During these periods, the availability of prices and inputs may be reduced for many investments. This condition could cause an investment to be reclassified between the various levels within the hierarchy.
 
Investments falling into the Level 3 category may be classified as such due to a lack of market transparency and corroboration to support the quoted prices. Additionally, valuation models may be used as the pricing source for any remaining investments classified as Level 3. These models may rely on one or more significant unobservable inputs and/or significant assumptions by the Valuation Committee. Inputs used in valuations may include, but are not limited to, financial statement analysis, capital account balances, discount rates and estimated cash flows, and comparable entity data.
 
The following is a summary of the inputs used to value each Fund's investments as of July 31, 2017.

Each Fund recognizes transfers between levels at the end of the reporting period. During the period from November 1, 2016 to July 31, 2017, there were no transfers in or out of Levels 1, 2, or 3.
 
The following is a reconciliation of Level 3 securities held by the Small Cap Growth Fund as of July 31, 2017 for which significant unobservable inputs were used to determine fair value:
Small Cap Growth Fund
 
Balance as of October 31, 2016
 
$ 242,594
Purchases
 
Change in unrealized appreciation (depreciation)
 
Balance as of July 31, 2017
 
 $ 242,594
 
The Funds' policy for disclosing the valuation techniques and significant unobservable inputs for Level 3 assets and liabilities is to provide such disclosures when aggregate exposure to Level 3 investments exceeds 1% of net asset value. At July 31, 2017, the Level 3 investments within the Fund did not exceed such threshold and therefore have not been disclosed.
 
The contingent value rights ("CVR") were acquired as a result of Dyax Corp. (which was a portfolio holding of the Fund) being acquired by Shire PLC. In exchange for the Fund's shares in Dyax Corp., the Fund received cash considerations from Shire PLC as well as the CVR.
