1. ORGANIZATION
Financial Investors Trust (the “Trust”), a Delaware statutory trust, is an open‐end management investment company registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (“1940 Act”). As of January 31, 2016, the Trust had 33 registered funds. This quarterly report describes the following 14 funds: ALPS | Alerian MLP Infrastructure Index Fund, ALPS | CoreCommodity Management CompleteCommodities® Strategy Fund, ALPS | Kotak India Growth Fund, ALPS | Metis Global Micro Cap Fund, ALPS | Red Rocks Listed Private Equity Fund, ALPS | Sterling ETF Tactical Rotation Fund, ALPS | Westport Resources Hedged High Income Fund, ALPS| WMC Research Value Fund, Clough China Fund, RiverFront Conservative Income Builder Fund, RiverFront Dynamic Equity Income Fund, RiverFront Global Allocation Fund, RiverFront Global Growth Fund and RiverFront Moderate Growth & Income Fund (each, a “Fund” and collectively, the “Funds”).

ALPS | Alerian MLP Infrastructure Index Fund seeks investment results that correspond (before fees and expenses) generally to the price and yield performance of its underlying index, the Alerian MLP Infrastructure Index. The ALPS | CoreCommodity Management CompleteCommodities® Strategy Fund seeks to maximize real returns (returns after inflation), consistent with prudent investment management. ALPS | Kotak India Growth Fund’s investment goal is long‐term capital appreciation. ALPS | Metis Global Micro Cap Fund seeks long-term growth of capital. ALPS | Red Rocks Listed Private Equity Fund seeks to maximize total return, which consists of appreciation on its investments and a variable income stream. ALPS | Sterling ETF Tactical Rotation Fund seeks investment results that correspond (before fees and expenses) generally to the performance of the Sterling Tactical Rotation Index. ALPS | Westport Resources Hedged High Income Fund seeks to provide high current income. The Fund’s secondary investment objective is to seek capital preservation, with the potential for capital appreciation. ALPS | WMC Research Value Fund seeks long‐term capital appreciation: dividend income may be a factor in portfolio selection but is secondary to the Fund’s principal objective. The Clough China Fund seeks to provide investors with long‐term capital appreciation. The RiverFront Conservative Income Builder Fund seeks to provide current income and potential for that income to grow over time. The RiverFront Dynamic Equity Income Fund seeks to achieve long‐term growth and income through a combination of capital appreciation and rising dividend payments that exceed the average yield on global stocks generally. The RiverFront Global Allocation Fund seeks to provide high total investment return through a fully managed investment policy utilizing United States and foreign equity securities, debt and money market securities, the combination of which will be varied from time to time both with respect to types of securities and markets in response to changing market and economic trends. Total investment return means the combination of capital appreciation and investment income. The RiverFront Global Growth Fund seeks to achieve long‐term capital appreciation through a fully managed investment policy utilizing United States and foreign equity securities, debt and money market securities, the combination of which will be varied from time to time both with respect to types of securities and markets in response to changing market and economic trends. The RiverFront Moderate Growth & Income Fund has two primary investment objectives: (1) seeks to provide a level of current income that exceeds the average yield on U.S. stocks in general and (2) to provide a growing stream of income over the years. The Funds secondary objective is to provide growth of capital.

The classes of each Fund differ principally in the applicable distribution and shareholder service fees. Shareholders of each class also bear certain expenses that pertain to that particular class. All shareholders bear the common expenses of the Fund and earn income and realized gains/losses from the Fund pro rata based on the average daily net assets of each class, without distinction between share classes. Dividends to shareholders are determined separately for each class based on income and expenses allocable to each class. Realized gain distributions to shareholders are allocated to each class pro rata based on the shares outstanding of each class on the date of distribution. Differences in per share dividend rates generally result from differences in separate class expenses, including distribution and shareholder service fees, if applicable.

Basis of Consolidation for the ALPS | CoreCommodity Management CompleteCommodities®Strategy Fund
CoreCommodity Management Cayman Commodity Fund Ltd. (the “Subsidiary”), a Cayman Islands exempted company, was incorporated on April 23, 2010 and is a wholly owned subsidiary of the ALPS | CoreCommodity Management CompleteCommodities® Strategy Fund (the “CoreCommodity Fund”). The Subsidiary acts as an investment vehicle for the CoreCommodity Fund in order to effect certain commodity‐related investments on behalf of the CoreCommodity Fund. CoreCommodity Fund is the sole shareholder of the Subsidiary pursuant to a subscription agreement dated as of June 14, 2010, and it is intended that the CoreCommodity Fund will remain the sole shareholder and will continue to wholly own and control the Subsidiary. Under the Articles of Association of the Subsidiary, shares issued by the Subsidiary confer upon a shareholder the right to vote at general meetings of the Subsidiary and certain rights in connection with any winding‐up or repayment of capital, as well as the right to participate in the profits or assets of the Subsidiary. The CoreCommodity Fund may invest up to 25% of its total assets in shares of the Subsidiary. As a wholly owned subsidiary of the CoreCommodity Fund, the financial statements of the Subsidiary are included in the consolidated financial statements of the CoreCommodity Fund. All investments held by the Subsidiary are disclosed in the accounts of the CoreCommodity Fund. As of January 31, 2016, net assets of the CoreCommodity Fund were $356,592,552, of which $73,050,940 or 20.49%, represented the CoreCommodity Fund’s ownership of all issued shares and voting rights of the Subsidiary.

Basis of Consolidation for the ALPS | Kotak India Growth Fund
ALPS | Kotak India Growth Fund, (the “Kotak Fund”) invests in the equity securities of Indian companies through its wholly owned, collective investment vehicle, the India Premier Equity Portfolio (the “Portfolio”). The Portfolio is registered with and regulated by the Mauritius Financial Services Commission. The Portfolio was formed for the purpose of facilitating the Kotak Fund’s purchase of securities of a wide selection of Indian companies, consistent with the Kotak Fund’s investment strategies. The Portfolio is a private company limited by shares incorporated under the Mauritius Companies Act 2001. As a wholly owned subsidiary of the Kotak Fund, financial statements of the Portfolio are included in the consolidated financial statements of the Kotak Fund. All investments held by the Portfolio are disclosed in the accounts of the Kotak Fund.

The Portfolio established residency in Mauritius allowing the Kotak Fund to receive the beneficial tax treatment under the Treaty between India and Mauritius. If the benefits of the Treaty are denied or if the Portfolio is held to have a permanent establishment in India, gains derived by the Portfolio due to the sale of securities may be subject to taxation in India. India’s Finance Act had introduced legislation on General Anti‐ Avoidance Rules (“GAAR”) which contains treaty override provisions. The GAAR, which is now expected to come into effect from April 1, 2017, may be used by the Indian tax authorities to declare any arrangement whose main purpose or one of the main purposes is to obtain a tax benefit, as an “impermissible avoidance arrangement”.

2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The following is a summary of significant accounting policies consistently followed by each Fund in the preparation of its financial statements. Each Fund is considered an investment company for financial reporting purposes, the following policies are in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for investment companies (“U.S. GAAP”).The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make certain estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. The following is a summary of significant accounting policies consistently followed by the Funds and subsidiaries, as applicable, in preparation of their financial statements.

Investment Valuation: The Funds generally value their securities based on market prices determined at the close of regular trading on the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”), normally 4:00 p.m. Eastern Time, on each day the NYSE is open for trading. For equity securities and mutual funds that are traded on an exchange, the market price is usually the closing sale or official closing price on that exchange.

The market price for debt obligations is generally the price supplied by an independent third‐party pricing service approved by the Board, which may use a matrix, formula or other objective method that takes into consideration quotations from dealers, market transactions in comparable investments, market indices and yield curves. If vendors are unable to supply a price, or if the price supplied is deemed to be unreliable, the market price may be determined using quotations received from one or more brokers‐dealers that make a market in the security. Short‐term debt obligations that will mature in 60 days or less are valued at amortized cost; unless it is determined that using this method would not reflect an investment’s fair value. Investments in non‐exchange traded funds are fair valued at their respective net asset values.

Futures contracts that are listed or traded on a national securities exchange, commodities exchange, contract market or comparable over the counter market, and that are freely transferable, are valued at their closing settlement price on the exchange on which they are primarily traded or based upon the current settlement price for a like instrument acquired on the day on which the instrument is being valued. A settlement price may not be used if the market makes a limit move with respect to a particular commodity. Over‐the‐counter swap contracts for which market quotations are readily available are valued based on quotes received from independent pricing services or one or more dealers that make markets in such securities.

Equity securities that are primarily traded on foreign securities exchanges are valued at the closing values of such securities on their respective foreign exchanges, except when an event occurs subsequent to the close of the foreign exchange and the close of the NYSE that was likely to have changed such value. In such an event, the fair value of those securities are determined in good faith through consideration of other factors in accordance with procedures established by and under the general supervision of the Board. The Funds will use a fair valuation model provided by an independent pricing service, which is intended to reflect fair value when a security’s value or a meaningful portion of the Fund’s portfolio is believed to have been materially affected by an valuation event that has occurred between the close of the exchange or market on which the security is traded and the close of the regular trading day on the NYSE.

Forward currency exchange contracts have a market value determined by the prevailing foreign currency exchange daily rates and current foreign currency exchange forward rates. The foreign currency exchange forward rates are calculated using an automated system that estimates rates on the basis of the current day foreign currency exchange rates and forward foreign currency exchange rates supplied by a pricing service. Foreign exchange rates and forward foreign currency exchange rates may generally be obtained at the close of the NYSE, normally 4:00 p.m. Eastern Time.

When such prices or quotations are not available, or when the Fair Value Committee appointed by the Board believes that they are unreliable, securities may be priced using fair value procedures approved by the Board.

Fair Value Measurements: The Funds disclose the classification of their fair value measurements following a three‐tier hierarchy based on the inputs used to measure fair value. Inputs refer broadly to the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability, including assumptions about risk. Inputs may be observable or unobservable. Observable inputs reflect the assumptions market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability that are developed based on market data obtained from sources independent of the reporting entity. Unobservable inputs reflect the reporting entity’s own assumptions about the assumptions market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability that are developed based on the best information available.


Various inputs are used in determining the value of each Fund’s investments as of the end of the reporting period. When inputs used fall into different levels of the fair value hierarchy, the level in the hierarchy within which the fair value measurement falls is determined based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety. The designated input levels are not necessarily an indication of the risk or liquidity associated with these investments. These inputs are categorized in the following hierarchy under applicable financial accounting standards:
 
Level 1
Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical investments, unrestricted assets or liabilities that a Fund has the ability to access at the measurement date;
     
Level 2
Quoted prices which are not active, quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets or inputs other than quoted prices that are observable (either directly or indirectly) for substantially the full term of the asset or liability; and
     
Level 3
Significant unobservable prices or inputs (including the Fund’s own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments) where there is little or no market activity for the asset or liability at the measurement date.

The following is a summary of each Fund’s investments/financial instruments in the fair value hierarchy as of January 31, 2016:

The Funds recognize transfers between levels as of the end of the period. For the period ended January 31, 2016, the Funds did not have any transfers between Level 1 and Level 2 securities, except the ALPS | Kotak India Growth Fund. The ALPS | Kotak India Growth Fund utilizes a fair value evaluation service with respect to international securities with an earlier market closing than the Fund’s net asset value computation cutoff. When events trigger the use of the fair value evaluation service on a reporting period date, it results in certain securities transferring from a Level 1 to a Level 2 classification. The transfer amounts disclosed in the table below represents the value of the securities as of January 31, 2016 transferred in/(out) of Level 1 and Level 2 during the reporting period that were also held at October 31, 2015.

The ALPS | Kotak India Growth Fund had the following transfers between Levels 1 and 2 at January 31, 2016:

Fund and Class Expenses: Some expenses of the Trust can be directly attributed to a Fund or a specific share class of a Fund. Expenses which cannot be directly attributed are apportioned among all Funds in the Trust based on average net assets of each share class within a Fund.

Distributions to Shareholders: Each Fund, except the ALPS | Alerian MLP Infrastructure Index Fund, ALPS | Westport Resources Hedged High Income Fund, RiverFront Conservative Income Builder Fund, RiverFront Dynamic Equity Income Fund, and RiverFront Moderate Growth & Income Fund normally pays dividends and distributes capital gains, if any, on an annual basis. The ALPS | Alerian MLP Infrastructure Index Fund, RiverFront Conservative Income Builder Fund, RiverFront Dynamic Equity Income Fund, and RiverFront Moderate Growth & Income Fund normally pay dividends, if any, on a quarterly basis and distribute capital gains annually. The ALPS | Westport Resources Hedged High Income Fund normally pays dividends, if any, on a monthly basis and distributes capital gains annually. Income dividend distributions are derived from interest and other income the Fund receives from its investments, including distributions of short‐term capital gains. Capital gain distributions are derived from gains realized when the Fund sells a security it has owned for more than a year. Each Fund may make additional distributions and dividends at other times if its portfolio manager or managers believe doing so may be necessary for the Fund to avoid or reduce taxes.


Distributions received from the ALPS | Alerian MLP Infrastructure Index Fund’s investments in MLPs generally are comprised of income and return of capital. The Fund records investment income and return of capital based on estimates made at the time such distributions are received. Such estimates are based on historical information available from each MLP and other industry sources. These estimates may subsequently be revised based on information received from MLPs after their tax reporting periods are concluded. Return of capital distributions are not taxable income to the shareholder, but reduce the investor’s tax basis in the investor’s Fund shares. Such a reduction in tax basis will result in larger taxable gains and/or lower tax losses on a subsequent sale of Fund shares. Shareholders who periodically receive the payment of dividends or other distributions consisting of a return of capital may be under the impression that they are receiving net profits from the Fund when, in fact, they are not. Shareholders should not assume that the source of the distributions is from the net profits of the Fund.

Commodity-Linked Notes: The ALPS | CoreCommodity Management CompleteCommodities® Strategy Fund may invest in commodity-linked notes which are derivative instruments that have characteristics of a debt security and of a commodity-linked derivative. A commodity-linked note typically provides for interest payments and a principal payment at maturity linked to the price movement of the underlying commodity, commodity index or commodity futures or option contract. Commodity-linked notes may be principal protected, partially protected, or offer no principal protection. The value of these notes will rise and fall in response to changes in the underlying commodity or related index or investment. These notes are often leveraged, increasing the volatility of each note’s value relative to the change in the underlying linked index. Commodity index-linked investments may be more volatile and less liquid than the underlying index and their value may be affected by the performance of the commodities as well as other factors, including liquidity, quality, maturity and other economic variables. Commodity-linked notes are typically issued by a bank or other financial institution and are sometimes referred to as structured notes because the terms of the notes may be structured by the issuer and the purchaser of the notes to accommodate the specific investment requirements of the purchaser.

Investment Transactions and Investment Income: Investment transactions are accounted for on the date the investments are purchased or sold (trade date basis). Net realized gains and losses from investment transactions are reported on an identified cost basis. Interest income, which includes accretion of discounts and amortization of premiums, is accrued and recorded as earned. Dividend income is recognized on the ex‐dividend date or for certain foreign securities, as soon as information is available to each Fund.

Foreign Securities: Each Fund may directly purchase securities of foreign issuers. Investing in securities of foreign issuers involves special risks not typically associated with investing in securities of U.S. issuers. The risks include possible reevaluation of currencies, the inability to repatriate foreign currency, less complete financial information about companies and possible future adverse political and economic developments.

Moreover, securities of many foreign issuers and their markets may be less liquid and their prices more volatile than those of securities of comparable U.S. issuers.

Foreign Currency Translation: The books and records of the Funds are maintained in U.S. dollars. Investment valuations and other assets and liabilities initially expressed in foreign currencies are converted each business day into U.S. dollars based upon current exchange rates. The portion of realized and unrealized gains or losses on investments due to fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates is not separately disclosed and is included in realized and unrealized gains or losses on investments, when applicable.

Foreign Currency Spot Contracts: The Funds may enter into foreign currency spot contracts to facilitate transactions in foreign securities or to convert foreign currency receipts into U.S. dollars. A foreign currency spot contract is an agreement between two parties to buy and sell currencies at the current market rate, for settlement generally within two business days. The U.S. dollar value of the contracts is determined using current currency exchange rates supplied by a pricing service. The contract is marked‐to‐market daily for settlements beyond one day and any change in market value is recorded as an unrealized gain or loss. When the contract is closed, the Fund records a realized gain or loss equal to the difference between the value on the open and close date. Losses may arise from changes in the value of the foreign currency, or if the counterparties do not perform under the contract’s terms. The maximum potential loss from such contracts is the aggregate face value in U.S. dollars at the time the contract was opened.

Real Estate Investment Trusts (“REITs”): The Funds may invest a portion of their assets in REITs and are subject to certain risks associated with direct investment in REITs. REITs may be affected by changes in the value of their underlying properties and by defaults by borrowers or tenants. REITs depend generally on their ability to generate cash flow to make distributions to shareowners, and certain REITs have self‐liquidation provisions by which mortgages held may be paid in full and distributions of capital returns may be made at any time. In addition, the performance of a REIT may be affected by its failure to qualify for tax‐free pass‐through of income under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), or its failure to maintain exemption from registration under the 1940 Act.


Treasury Inflation Protected-Securities: The Funds may invest in treasury inflation protected securities (“TIPS”), including structured bonds in which the principal amount is adjusted daily to keep pace with inflation, as measured by the U.S. Consumer Pricing Index for Urban Consumers. The adjustments to principal due to inflation/deflation are reflected as increases/decreases to interest income with a corresponding adjustment to cost. Such adjustments may have a significant impact on a Fund’s distributions and may result in a return of capital to shareholders. The repayment of the original bond principal upon maturity is guaranteed by the full faith and credit of the U.S. Government.

Loan Participations and Assignments: Certain Funds may invest in loan participations and assignments. The Fund considers loan participations and assignments to be investments in debt securities. Loan participations typically will result in the Fund having a contractual relationship only with the lender, not with the borrower. The Fund will have the right to receive payments of principal, interest and any fees to which it is entitled only from the lender selling the participation and only upon receipt by the lender of the payments from the borrower. Under a loan participation, the Fund generally will have no right to enforce compliance by the borrower with the terms of the loan agreement relating to the loan, nor any rights of set‐off against the borrower, and the Fund may not benefit directly from any collateral supporting the loan in which it has purchased the participation. As a result, the Fund will assume the credit risk of both the borrower and the lender that is selling the participation. In the event of the insolvency of the lender selling a participation, the Fund may be treated as a general creditor of the lender and may not benefit from any set‐off between the lender and the borrower. When the Fund purchases assignments of loans from lenders, the Fund will acquire direct rights against the borrower on the loan, except that under certain circumstances such rights may be more limited than those held by the assigning lender.

Master Limited Partnerships: MLPs are publicly traded partnerships engaged in the transportation, storage and processing of minerals and natural resources. By confining their operations to these specific activities, their interests, or units, are able to trade on public securities exchanges exactly like the shares of a corporation, without entity level taxation. To qualify as a MLP and to not be taxed as a corporation, a partnership must receive at least 90% of its income from qualifying sources as set forth in Section 7704(d) of the Code. These qualifying sources include natural resource based activities such as the processing, transportation and storage of mineral or natural resources. MLPs generally have two classes of owners, the general partner and limited partners. The general partner of an MLP 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 up to 2% equity interest in the MLP plus, in many cases, ownership of common units and subordinated units. Limited partners typically own the remainder of the partnership, through ownership of common units, and have a limited role in the partnership’s operations and management. MLPs are typically structured such that common units and general partner interests have first priority to receive quarterly cash distributions up to an established minimum amount (“minimum quarterly distributions” or “MQD”). Common and general partner interests also accrue arrearages in distributions to the extent the MQD is not paid. Once common and general partner interests have been paid, subordinated units receive distributions of up to the MQD; however, subordinated units do not accrue arrearages. Distributable cash in excess of the MQD is paid to both common and subordinated units and is distributed to both common and subordinated units generally on a pro rata basis. The general partner is also eligible to receive incentive distributions if the general partner operates the business in a manner which results in distributions paid per common unit surpassing specified target levels. As the general partner increases cash distributions to the limited partners, the general partner receives an increasingly higher percentage of the incremental cash distributions.

Unrealized Appreciation and Depreciation on Investments: As of January 31, 2016, the costs of investments for federal income tax purposes and accumulated net unrealized appreciation/(depreciation) on investments were as follows:

3. DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS
As a part of their investment strategy, the ALPS | CoreCommodity Management CompleteCommodities® Strategy Fund, ALPS | Kotak India Growth Fund and ALPS | Westport Resources Hedged High Income Fund are permitted to enter in various types of derivatives contracts. The other funds including ALPS | Alerian MLP Infrastructure Index Fund, ALPS | Metis Global Micro Cap Fund, ALPS | Red Rocks Listed Private Equity Fund, ALPS | Sterling ETF Tactical Rotation Fund, ALPS | WMC Research Value Fund, Clough China Fund, RiverFront Conservative Income Builder Fund, RiverFront Dynamic Equity Income Fund, RiverFront Global Allocation Fund, RiverFront Global Growth Fund and RiverFront Moderate Growth & Income Fund may invest to a lesser extent in derivatives contracts. In doing so, the Funds will employ strategies in differing combinations to permit them to increase, decrease, or change the level or types of exposure to market factors. Central to those strategies are features inherent in derivatives that make them more attractive for this purpose than equity or debt securities; they require little or no initial cash investment, they can focus exposure on only certain selected risk factors, and they may not require the ultimate receipt or delivery of the underlying security (or securities) to the contract. This may allow the Funds to pursue their objectives more quickly and efficiently than if they were to make direct purchases or sales of securities capable of affecting a similar response to market factors.

Risk of Investing in Derivatives: The Funds’ use of derivatives can result in losses due to unanticipated changes in the market risk factors and the overall market. In instances where the Funds are using derivatives to decrease, or hedge, exposures to market risk factors for securities held by the Funds, there are also risks that those derivatives may not perform as expected resulting in losses for the combined or hedged positions.

Derivatives may have little or no initial cash investment relative to their market value exposure and therefore can produce significant gains or losses in excess of their cost. This use of embedded leverage allows the Fund to increase its market value exposure relative to its net assets and can substantially increase the volatility of the Funds’ performance.

Additional associated risks from investing in derivatives also exist and potentially could have significant effects on the valuation of the derivative and the Funds. Typically, the associated risks are not the risks that the Funds are attempting to increase or decrease exposure to, per their investment objectives, but are the additional risks from investing in derivatives.

Examples of these associated risks are liquidity risk, which is the risk that the Funds will not be able to sell or close out the derivative in a timely manner, and counterparty credit risk, which is the risk that the counterparty will not fulfill its obligation to the Funds. In addition, use of derivatives may increase or decrease exposure to the following risk factors:

Equity Risk: Equity risk relates to the change in value of equity securities as they relate to increases or decreases in the general market. Associated risks can be different for each type of derivative and are discussed by each derivative type in the notes that follow.

Commodity Risk: Exposure to the commodities markets may subject the Funds to greater volatility than investments in traditional securities. Prices of various commodities may also be affected by factors, such as drought, floods, weather, livestock disease, embargoes, tariffs and other regulatory developments, which are unpredictable. The prices of commodities can also fluctuate widely due to supply and demand disruptions in major producing or consuming regions.

Foreign Currency Risk: Currency trading involves significant risks, including market risk, interest rate risk, country risk, counterparty credit risk and short sale risk. Market risk results from the price movement of foreign currency values in response to shifting market supply and demand. Interest rate risk arises whenever a country changes its stated interest rate target associated with its currency. Country risk arises because virtually every country has interfered with international transactions in its currency.

Interest Rate Risk: Interest rate risk is the risk that fixed income securities will decline in value because of changes in interest rates. As nominal interest rates rise, the value of fixed income securities held by the Funds are likely to decrease. Securities with longer durations tend to be more sensitive to changes in interest rates, and are usually more volatile than securities.

Swap Contracts: Each Fund may enter into swap transactions for hedging purposes or to seek to increase total return. At the present time, the CoreCommodity Fund primarily enters into swap transactions for the purpose of increasing total return and the ALPS Westport Hedged High Income Fund for hedging purposes. Swap agreements may be executed in a multilateral or other trade facility program, such as a registered exchange (“centrally cleared swaps”) or may be privately negotiated in the over‐the counter market. The duration of a swap agreement typically ranges from a few weeks to more than one year. In a centrally cleared swap, immediately following execution of the swap agreement, the swap agreement is novated to a central counterparty (the “CCP”) and the Fund’s counterparty on the swap agreement becomes the CCP. Risks may arise as a result of the failure of the counterparty to the swap contract to comply with the terms of the swap contract. The loss incurred by the failure of a counterparty is generally limited to the net payment to be received by the Funds and/or the termination value at the end of the contract. Therefore, the Funds consider the creditworthiness of each counterparty to a contract in evaluating potential credit risk. Although centrally cleared swaps typically present less counterparty risk than non‐centrally cleared swaps, a Fund that has entered into centrally cleared swaps is subject to the risk of the failure of the CCP.

Additionally, risks may arise from unanticipated movements in interest rates or in the value of the underlying reference asset or index. Entering into these agreements involves, to varying degrees, market risk, liquidity risk and elements of credit, legal and documentation risk.

The Funds may pay or receive cash as collateral on these contracts which may be recorded as an asset and/or liability. The Funds must set aside liquid assets, or engage in other appropriate measures, to cover its obligations under these contracts. Swaps are marked to market daily using either pricing vendor quotations, counterparty prices or model prices and the change in value, if any, is recorded as an unrealized gain or loss. Upfront payments made and/or received by the Funds are recorded as an asset and/or liability and realized gains or losses are recognized ratably over the contract’s term/event, with the exception of forward starting interest rate swaps, whose realized gains or losses are recognized ratably from the effective start date. Periodic payments received or made on swap contracts are recorded as realized gains or losses. Gains or losses are realized upon termination of a swap contract.

Total return swaps are agreements in which there is an exchange of cash flows whereby one party commits to make payments based on the total return (coupons plus capital gains/losses) of an underlying instrument in exchange for fixed or floating rate interest payments. To the extent the total return of the instrument or index underlying the transaction exceeds or falls short of the offsetting interest rate obligation, the Fund will receive a payment from or make a payment to the counterparty. Credit default swaps are a type of swap agreement in which the protection “buyer” is generally obligated to pay the protection “seller” an upfront and/ or a periodic stream of payments over the term of the contract provided that no credit event, such as a default, on a reference obligation has occurred. Credit default swaps (“CDS”) are typically two‐party financial contracts that transfer credit exposure between the two parties. Under a typical CDS, one party (the “seller”) receives pre‐determined periodic payments from the other party (the “buyer”). The seller agrees to make compensating specific payments to the buyer if a negative credit event occurs, such as the bankruptcy or default by the issuer of the underlying debt instrument. Swap agreements held at January 31, 2016 are disclosed after the Statement of Investments.

Futures: Each Fund may invest in futures contracts in accordance with their investment objectives. Each Fund does so for a variety of reasons including for cash management, hedging or non‐hedging purposes in an attempt to achieve the Fund’s investment objective. A futures contract provides for the future sale by one party and purchase by another party of a specified quantity of the security or other financial instrument at a specified price and time. A futures contract on an index is an agreement pursuant to which two parties agree to take or make delivery of an amount of cash equal to the difference between the value of the index at the close of the last trading day of the contract and the price at which the index contract was originally written. Futures transactions may result in losses in excess of the amount invested in the futures contract. There can be no guarantee that there will be a correlation between price movements in the hedging vehicle and in the portfolio securities being hedged. An incorrect correlation could result in a loss on both the hedged securities in a Fund and the hedging vehicle so that the portfolio return might have been greater had hedging not been attempted. There can be no assurance that a liquid market will exist at a time when a Fund seeks to close out a futures contract or a futures option position. Lack of a liquid market for any reason may prevent a Fund from liquidating an unfavorable position, and the Fund would remain obligated to meet margin requirements until the position is closed. In addition, a Fund could be exposed to risk if the counterparties to the contracts are unable to meet the terms of their contracts. With exchange traded futures, there is minimal counterparty credit risk to the Funds since futures are exchange traded and the exchange’s clearinghouse, as counterparty to all exchange traded futures, guarantees the futures against default.

When a purchase or sale of a futures contract is made by a Fund, the Fund is required to deposit with its custodian (or broker, if legally permitted) a specified amount of liquid assets (“initial margin”). The margin required for a futures contract is set by the exchange on which the contract is traded and may be modified during the term of the contract. The initial margin is in the nature of a performance bond or good faith deposit on the futures contract that is returned to a Fund upon termination of the contract, assuming all contractual obligations have been satisfied. Each day a Fund may pay or receive cash, called “variation margin,” equal to the daily change in value of the futures contract. Such payments or receipts are recorded for financial statement purposes as unrealized gains or losses by a Fund. Variation margin does not represent a borrowing or loan by a Fund but is instead a settlement between a Fund and the broker of the amount one would owe the other if the futures contract expired. When the contract is closed, a Fund records a realized gain or loss equal to the difference between the value of the contract at the time it was opened and the value at the time it was closed.

Forward Foreign Currency Contracts: The ALPS | Westport Resources Hedged High Income Fund (the “Fund”) invests in foreign currency exchange contracts to reduce the risks of fluctuating exchange rates and to generate returns uncorrelated to the other strategies employed. A forward foreign currency exchange contract involves an obligation to purchase or sell a specific currency at a future date, which may be a fixed number of days from the date of the contract agreed upon by the parties, at a price set at the time of the contract. By entering into a forward foreign currency exchange contract, the Fund “locks in” the exchange rate between the currency it will deliver and the currency it will receive for the duration of the contract. As a result, the Fund reduces its exposure to changes in the value of the currency it will deliver and increases its exposure to changes in the value of the currency it will exchange into. The Fund may enter into these contracts for the purpose of hedging against foreign exchange risk arising from the Fund’s investment or anticipated investment in securities denominated in foreign currencies. The Fund also may enter into these contracts for purposes of increasing exposure to a foreign currency or to shift exposure to foreign currency fluctuations from one country to another. The Fund may use one currency (or a basket of currencies) to hedge against adverse changes in the value of another currency (or a basket of currencies) when exchange rates between the two currencies are positively correlated. As of January 31, 2016, the Fund held forward foreign currency contracts with net unrealized appreciation of $1,677.

Option Contracts: Each Fund may enter into options transactions for hedging purposes and for non‐hedging purposes such as seeking to enhance return. Each Fund may write covered put and call options on any stocks or stock indices, currencies traded on domestic and foreign securities exchanges, or futures contracts on stock indices, interest rates and currencies traded on domestic and, to the extent permitted by the CFTC, foreign exchanges. A call option on an asset written by a Fund obligates the Fund to sell the specified asset to the holder (purchaser) at a stated price (the exercise price) if the option is exercised before a specified date (the expiration date). A put option on an asset written by a Fund obligates the Fund to buy the specified asset from the purchaser at the exercise price if the option is exercised before the expiration date. Premiums received when writing options are recorded as liabilities and are subsequently adjusted to the current value of the options written. Premiums received from writing options that expire are treated as realized gains. Premiums received from writing options, which are either exercised or closed, are offset against the proceeds received or amount paid on the transaction to determine realized gains or losses.

The Funds had the following transactions in written covered call/put options during the period ended January 31, 2016:
