Disclosure of Fund Expenses

October 31, 2023 (Unaudited)

Example. As a shareholder of the Funds, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including applicable sales charges (loads) and redemption fees; and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees, distribution and service (12b-1) fees, shareholder service fees and other Fund expenses. The following examples are intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Funds and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds. The examples are based on an investment of $1,000 invested on May 1, 2023 and held until October 31, 2023.

Actual Expenses. The first line under each class in the table below provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this line, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the first line under the heading “Expenses Paid During Period May 1, 2023 - October 31, 2023” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.

Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes. The second line under each class in the table below provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Funds’ actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Funds’ actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Funds and other mutual funds. To do so, compare these 5% hypothetical examples with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds.

Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transactional costs, such as sales charges or redemption fees. Therefore, the second line under each class in the table below is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transactional costs were included, your costs would have been higher.

CompleteCommodities^® Strategy Fund

Management Commentary October 31, 2023 (Unaudited)

The twelve-month period ending on October 31, 2023 produced negative returns for commodities as measured by the diversified Bloomberg Commodity Total Return Index (“BCOM”), down 2.97%. The ALPS|CoreCommodity Management Complete Commodities^® Strategy Fund (“I” Shares – “JCRIX” or the “Fund”) delivered a net negative return of -4.87% (JCRAX was down 5.01%, JCCSX was down 10.08% at MOP, and JCRCX was down 6.45% with CDSC).

The Fund underperformed its benchmark, the Bloomberg Commodity Total Return Index, by 190 basis points during the period. The Fund employs a strategy that combines an actively managed portfolio of commodity futures (collateralized by nominal and inflation-adjusted Treasuries), commodity equities, and physical commodity ETFs. On average, for the past twelve months, the Fund allocated approximately 79% of its assets toward commodity futures-related investments and approximately 21% of its assets toward commodity equities. The Fund was more than 99% invested at the end of the period.

The past twelve months ending in October 2023 was a period of two distinct halves for commodity prices. The first seven months or so through the end of May witnessed a significant retracement. Prices were led lower by a lackluster Chinese reopening, a banking crisis in the U.S., resilient energy supplies, and broad calls for a U.S. recession. The last several months however experienced a modest recovery, bolstered by falling inflation, severe weather, ongoing supply challenges among key commodity producers, and steady Chinese stimulus. From a geopolitical standpoint, the environment was tense for most of the year, only to get worse with the Israel- Hamas conflict in October 2023. In general, poor performance in the first half of the period seems to have stabilized. Certain macroeconomic factors that posed serious headwinds in the past are now shifting towards a more neutral or supportive phase for commodity prices.

During the timeframe under review, the Fund was underweight agriculture relative to the BCOM by 2.0% on average. The Fund’s agriculture sector underperformed the respective BCOM sub-index by 1.5%, -2.1% versus -0.6%. A higher concentration of certain soft commodities such as orange juice, which advanced 108.3%, cocoa, which advanced 81.8%, and cotton, which advanced 24.1%, added to performance. Equatorial crops benefited the most from extreme weather and the advent of a new El Nino weather pattern. In contrast, certain staple crops including wheat, down 40.7%, and corn, down 16.2%, were brought lower as concerns over disruption in the Black Sea dissipated and U.S. exports became less competitive in a high-dollar environment. The inclusion of agriculture equities was detractive, underperforming the BCOM sub-index by more than 12%. On a weighted basis, the sector detracted 0.5% from alpha, gross of fees.

The Fund was underweight livestock relative to the BCOM by -1.5% on average. The Fund’s livestock holdings underperformed the respective BCOM sub-index by 9.7%, -1.0% versus 8.7%. Livestock producers were down -10.8%, constrained by rising production costs and extreme heat. Deferred positioning was negative in cattle

futures but proved beneficial in hog futures. On a weighted basis, the sector detracted 0.5% from alpha, gross of fees.

The Fund was overweight energy relative to the BCOM by 4.0% on average during the period. The Fund’s energy holdings outperformed the respective BCOM sub-index by 4.2%, -14.7% versus -18.9%. The inclusion of energy equities was beneficial, outpacing the benchmark by nearly 20%. The Fund’s energy futures also managed to outpace the benchmark, largely due to curve positioning in WTI Crude Oil, which advanced 3.5%. High levels of backwardation within the petroleum complex contributed to total return, as did self-imposed supply restrictions by the OPEC+ cartel. Natural gas, down 63.3% for the period, was a leading detractor. Gas prices were damaged by an unusually warm winter season, resilient associated gas production out of the Permian basin, and poor European industrial demand. On a weighted basis, the sector as a whole contributed 0.6% to alpha, gross of fees.

The Fund was overweight industrial metals relative to the BCOM by 2.2% on average. The Fund’s industrial metal holdings outperformed the respective BCOM sub-index by 2.4%, 4.3% versus 1.9%. Despite an initial surge on the back of relaxed Chinese zero-Covid restrictions, the sector faced a number of severe headwinds over the past year including rampant dollar appreciation and a widescale inventory destocking campaign. Higher interest rates and their impact on construction/manufacturing activity were also detrimental. Nonetheless, the inclusion of industrial metal equities was particularly beneficial, rising 13.7%. Curve positioning in lead, down 4.4% for the period, and an overweight to copper, up 12.2% for the period, were also supportive. On a weighted basis, the sector contributed 0.5% to alpha, gross of fees.

The Fund was underweight precious metals relative to the BCOM by 2.8% on average. The Fund’s precious metal holdings underperformed the respective BCOM sub-index by 0.7%, 20.2% versus 20.9%. An underweight to gold, which advanced 20.9% for the period, detracted from performance; however, overweights to silver, up 20.2% for the period, and platinum, up 3.9% for the period, helped to offset any negative effect. Despite a general rise in real interest rates, gold benefitted from safe-haven demand as well as near-record central bank purchases. Silver was lifted by deficit conditions and growing end-use from various renewable applications. Precious metal equities reduced overall performance, underperforming the BCOM sub-index by 6.6%. On a weighted basis, the sector detracted 1.0% from alpha, gross of fees.

The Fund’s top equity holdings at the end of October 2023 included Cal-Maine Foods Inc (CALM US) -9.6% YTD, Archer-Daniels-Midland Co (ADM US) -21.6% YTD, Gold Fields Ltd (GFI US) 30.4% YTD, Northern Star Resources Ltd (NST AU) 9.7% YTD, K+S AG (SDF GR) -8.5% YTD, Ingredion Inc (INGR US) -2.3% YTD, Kinross Gold Corp (KGC US) 30.1% YTD, B2Gold Corp (BTG US) -6.3% YTD, Alamos Gold Inc (AGI US) 23.2% YTD, West Fraser Timber Co Ltd (WFG CN) -3.1% YTD.

Management Commentary October 31, 2023 (Unaudited)

U.S. Treasury Inflation Protected Securities (“TIPS”) and nominal U.S. Treasuries are held by the Fund to invest excess cash and are used as collateral for commodity futures-related investments held in the Cayman Island subsidiary. Over the previous year, rates rose significantly to combat widespread inflation. The yield on U.S. 10- year notes rose from roughly 4.0% to 4.9% in twelve months’ time. At the end of the period, the average maturity of the Fund’s collateral was approximately 0.3 years.

The previous year marked what we believe to be a brief pause within a larger multi-year uptrend for the commodity asset class. These gyrations are normal (at times, healthy) within the context of a longer capital cycle which usually takes many years to transition between shortage and abundance. As it stands, shortages are pervasive at a time when demand for everything from natural gas to corn to copper is growing rapidly. Unfortunately, supplies are failing to catch up, partially due to a decade of underinvestment and partially due to other market forces that are making the production environment so difficult (i.e., higher costs of production, labor tightness, regulatory and environmental restrictions, etc.). Altogether, we believe the fundamental data is relaying several important truths: production costs have risen alongside general inflation, suppliers are prevented or unwilling to invest the capital that is needed, and price has retraced to attractive valuations.

Investments in securities of Master Limited Partnerships (MLPs) involve risks that differ from an investment in common stock. MLPs are controlled by their general partners, which generally have conflicts of interest and limited fiduciary duties to the MLP, which may permit the general partner to favor its own interests over the MLPs. The benefit you are expected to derive from the Fund’s investment in MLPs depends largely on the MLPs being treated as partnerships for federal income tax purposes. As a partnership, an MLP has no federal income tax liability at the entity level. Therefore, treatment of one or more MLPs as a corporation for federal income tax purposes could affect the Fund’s ability to meet its investment objective and would reduce the amount of cash available to pay or distribute to you. Legislative, judicial, or administrative changes and differing interpretations, possibly on a retroactive basis, could negatively impact the value of an investment in MLPs and therefore the value of your investment in the Fund.

Investing in commodity-related securities involves risk and considerations not present when investing in more conventional securities. The Fund may be more susceptible to high volatility of commodity markets.

Derivatives generally are more sensitive to changes in economic or market conditions than other types of investments; this could result in losses that significantly exceed the Fund's original investment.

The table does not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on Fund distributions or the redemption of Fund shares.

This Fund is not suitable for all investors, and is subject to investment risks, including possible loss of the principal amount invested.

There is no guarantee that the Fund will continue to hold any one particular security or stay invested in any one particular company. The composition of the Fund's top holdings is subject to change. Performance figures are historical and reflect the change in share price, reinvested distributions, changes in net asset value, sales charges and capital gains distributions, if any.

ALPS | Kotak India ESG Fund

Management Commentary October 31, 2023 (Unaudited)

Performance

For the 1-year period ending October 31, 2023, the ALPS/Kotak India ESG Fund returned 5.43% for Class I compared to its benchmark, the Nifty 500 Index, which returned 9.88% over the same period (total return, all in USD terms).

The past fiscal year was a year of uncertainties and heightened risk, the failure of a few regional US banks and the Credit Suisse merger with UBS at the start of the year to the recent Israel-Hamas conflict. The Indian market has done fairly well amidst these challenges though the markets have been very polarized. The Indian market is concurrently in the bear, bull and bubble phase. Several top large-cap stocks (and quality mid-cap stocks) have hardly given any returns in the past 2-3 years, other large- and mid-cap stocks have delivered decent returns, while several mid- and small-cap stocks have given fantastic returns in the past 6-9 months. INR remained fairly resilient amidst headwinds due to the dollar strength, high crude prices and uncertainty on global growth and rates.

While the frontline Nifty 50 Index returned 6.94% during the period, the Nifty Midcap 100 Index returned 24.59% during the period (total return, all in USD terms as per Bloomberg reference rate).

Looking at some of the global policies: The US Federal Reserve hiked the Fed Funds Rate by 6 times for the past one year by a total of 225bps to bring the Federal Funds Rate to 5.50%, while maintaining status quo with the policy rate target range at 5.25-5.5%. The Federal Open Markets Committee (FOMC) noted the strong pace of economic growth in 3QCY23, moderating but strong job gains, low unemployment rate, and elevated inflation. They also pointed to tighter financial and credit conditions likely to weigh on economic activity, hiring, and inflation. The Bank of England (BOE) had been hiking rates since December 2021, the last hike by 25 bps to 5.25% in August 2023. BOE’s latest projections show CY2023 real GDP growth at 0.5% (unchanged), 0% in CY2024 (0.5% earlier), and 0.25% in CY2025 (unchanged). The BOE projects inflation moderating from 4.75% in CY2023 to 2% in CY2025. The Bank of Japan (BOJ), in line with expectations, maintained status quo on its policy rate at -0.1%. However, it tweaked its yield curve control policy, setting an upper bound of +1% for the 10-year bond yield. The BOJ projects real GDP growth at 2% in FY2023 (1.3% earlier), 1% in FY2024 (1.2% earlier), and 1% in FY2025 (unchanged).

Looking back at India, the FY2024 Union Budget in Feb 2023, did a fine balancing act between (1) fiscal consolidation, (2) increasing attractiveness of the new personal income tax regime and (3) continued higher capital expenditure. The government has rationalized the high subsidies on food and fertilizer and the elevated rural spending seen during the pandemic. Gross borrowing has been maintained at a comfortable level, which we believe should keep interest rates in check.

On the macro side, the World Bank maintained its FY2024 GDP growth forecast for India at 6.3% and IMF raised India's FY24 GDP growth forecast to 6.3% from 6.1% earlier due to stronger demand.

The Reserve Bank of India (RBI) MPC in total had hiked the repo rate by a total of 250bps to 6.5% since May 2020 while continuing to remain focused on the withdrawal of accommodation. Business momentum in India’s manufacturing activity indicated a slowdown in growth - Manufacturing Purchase Money Index (PMI) softened to 55.5 in October vs 57.5 in September but still above the 50-mark (A PMI index greater than 50 represents growth or expansion while reading below 50 indicates contraction). PMI has remained in expansion zone for the entire year.

There was a favorable mix of sound macro and microeconomic conditions, including moderating inflation, declining commodity prices, expectations of peaking global interest rates, for example. Also, JP Morgan announced that it will include Indian government bonds in its emerging market debt index, which is a positive for India in the coming near term. Investment stocks delivered strong returns over the past 6- 12 months on expectations of strong recovery in the domestic capex cycle. Strong government capex for the period April to August 2023 supported this narrative. However, we note two potential risks with this narrative—(1) possible front-loading of government capex in FY2024 and (2) financing of capital expenditure by large fiscal deficits, which may not be sustainable given high fiscal deficit. In our view, private corporate capex appears to be sluggish given (1) weakening GFCF/GDP, despite strong government and household capex, and (2) tepid recovery in sanctioning of long-term loans for projects.

All in all, risks to India’s macro-economic outlook increased within the last few months of the fiscal year compared to a sufficiently comfortable position a few months back. Exiting the fiscal year, growth remains stable but some weakness in the formal jobs segment could add to the recent consumption headwinds. Inflation, while coming off recent highs, is likely to remain well above the 4% mark for the foreseeable future. Amid the cheers of India being included in the JP Morgan emerging market debt index, the fiscal situation remains under some stress at fiscal year end, especially given the uncertainty regarding spending needs over the next few months as well as consolidation pressures over the medium-term. In our view, the larger worry will be from the external sector. We believe that elevated crude oil prices, coupled with sustained high global rates, will impinge on the external balance. A cautious RBI would likely prefer to keep rates elevated for longer and keep liquidity close to neutral.

Market Outlook and Valuation

We believe political risk, geo-political and local elections, are the near term headwinds for the otherwise reasonably strong Indian economy and corporate earnings cycle in a troubled world.

The unfortunate situation in Israel – Gaza is still evolving and has a risk to blow up into a full blown Middle Eastern crisis. Ukraine-Russia war continues to wage on and troubles on US China relations continue to simmer. We hope that we see resolutions on these sooner rather than

Management Commentary October 31, 2023 (Unaudited)

later. Global growth is clearly impacted by these ongoing geo-political risk and if the Middle East situation worsens, there is a serious chance of one more energy crisis as happened in 2022 led by Ukraine-Russia conflict.

Locally, India has elections in 5 states in the month of November, the results of which will be announced in the first week of December. While the outcome of these elections is no indicator of the big federal elections in May 2024 when Prime Minister Modi will seek a third term, it may create some volatility and uncertainty.

One interesting facet of Indian economy is the de-risking of the Indian macro risk in the past one decade. We ran into a year of high oil prices last year and our current account deficit was less than 2% of GDP and inflation though above the central bank target range was still manageable. Currency reserves were adequate to manage the widening current account deficit and in 2023 YTD, INR has been a resilient currency when global currencies have seen large volatility. We believe that the corporate balance sheet and profitability cycle is in good shape, and bank balance sheet on asset quality as well as Tier 1 capital and profitability are strong. In our view, the overall capex story continues on a strong foot driven by governments and import substitution and there are some initial signs of revival of general corporate capex.

We believe the recent inclusion of India in JPM Emerging Market Bond Index will further blunt the macro risk as this will likely bring in large passive and active flows, and if other index providers also include India, the flows might be meaningful. In our view, the only macro risk which has increased is the size of government’s balance sheet which expanded during Covid, but we see a trajectory of consolidation on the back of fiscal prudence and rising taxes.

In the near term, despite a strong earnings delivery, we see markets moving in a narrow range as they absorb political risks. We see some risks from the continued weakness in the rural economy of the aggregate demand but, in our view this was already factored in by the market to a large extent. The festive season may hopefully bring in some cheer and with soft raw material basket (WPI Inflation still in negative territory), we believe we would likely see another round of strong earnings in the Oct – Dec quarter. Entering fiscal year 2024, we expect the mid-market to report even stronger earnings as these businesses are mostly domestically oriented, and as they are mostly commodity consumers, earnings are more leveraged to soft commodity inflation barring oil. Oil also has moderated a bit after a swift move almost to 3 digits and does not seem to be settling in the mid-80s.

In our view, the market seems to have now taken a view that the Fed Cycle has come to an end and we witnessed swift correction in bond yields post the recent pause by the Fed. Whether this could fuel a rally in risk assets is a bit uncertain as higher for longer and the risk of bond supply will keep the yields elevated. On the domestic flow side, the monthly retail Systematic Investment Plans (SIP) flows touched an all-time high of ~$2bn in the month of September 2023, translating into an annualised run rate of around 3% of gross household savings. On the back of sustained inflows in mutual funds in the past few years, the nature of institutional holding of Indian markets have seen a big shift.

After the recent correction in the markets, Nifty valuations have moderated to 17.8X, a 12% discount to the last 10 year market multiples of 20.1X (source: Motilal Oswal). It is also worth noting that contrary to popular perception, Indian markets have seen negative aggregate flows ($0.9bn outflow) in the last three calendar years, with inflows of $3.76bn in CY21, outflows of $17.02bn in CY22 and inflows of $12.36bn in CY23 YTD as of October 31, 2023. While we do expect the consolidation phase to continue, any further correction from here may be seen as an opportunity for investors to add exposure to India.

ALPS Global Opportunity Fund

Management Commentary October 31, 2023 (Unaudited)

Annual Commentary and Outlook

Stocks were surprisingly calm during the fiscal year despite ominous headwinds building. We believe that inflation, interest rates, corporate profitability, geopolitical tensions, impending market liquidity strains and credit cycle are all trending the wrong direction. These stress points have been looming for several quarters. However, not all is doom and gloom. At fiscal year-end, massive spending by the U.S. government seems to be the glue holding everything together. The positive result is a slow and orderly downward pressure on valuations with the passage of time.

At fiscal year-end, inflation remains stubborn which has led to longer dated interest rates rising to levels not seen since 2007. The ten year treasury is approaching 5%. The Consumer Price Index (CPI) bottomed at 3% then bounced to 3.7% for two months. Leading indicators suggest the future CPI trend is flat to higher from here.

Entering fiscal year 2024, consensus has been firming around the concept of an end to monetary tightening around the globe. In our view, the Federal Reserve is in a bind as market interest rates are becoming restrictive as they rise to a point of concern. We believe that returning to tightening would send a bleak message that inflation cannot be controlled without serious damage to financial markets.

Stocks were resilient over the past year to the end of October despite persistent inflation. The S&P 500 Index was higher 10.1%, primarily driven by large capitalization technology companies. The S&P 500 Technology Index increased 31% from strong earnings. However, small companies represented by the Russell 2000 Index were down 8.6%. S&P 500 Financial stocks were hurt 2.7% from the looming credit cycle and weak earnings from an inverted yield curve.

Portfolio Review

For the fiscal year ending October 31, 2023, the ALPS Global Opportunity Fund (LPEFX) increased 10.8%. The fund’s primary benchmark index of Morningstar Developed Markets Index-net of fees finished up 9.7% for the same period.

The benchmark return was driven by strength in bellwether names such as Microsoft, Nvidia, Meta, and Alphabet. Whereas, the fund benefited from a relatively high exposure to financial services stocks. Also, currency contributed 1% more than the benchmark from the relatively high exposure to foreign stocks as the U.S. dollar declined 4.4% from a year ago.

Strong performance by positions in 3i Group and Mutares helped absorb the loss in the spring from a small position in SVB Financial.

Net contributors to performance included:

• 3i Group Plc

• Ares Management Corp-A

• Mutares SE & Co KGAA

Net detractors from performance included:

• SVB Financial Group

• IAC Inc.

• Cannae Holdings Inc.

Exiting the fiscal year, positioning continues to favor broadening diversification with a higher number of positions. During the fiscal year through October 2023 the fund added fourteen new positions and sold twelve names, ending the period with 50 positions.

Outlook (as of October 31, 2023)

Focus remains on inflation and interest rates. The Federal Reserve (Fed) will likely keep rates high as inflation persists from exceptional fiscal spending. We believe that volatile markets are likely as the political mess continued through the end of the fiscal year in Washington D.C., which is delaying fiscal restraint. Deficit spending over 6% of the annual budget is forecast for the next several years, according to the Congressional Budget Office. This level of spending is traditionally temporary following times of crisis like 2008-2009. We believe this spending is not sustainable and will likely to lead to ratings downgrades and subsequent bond liquidity risk if spending is not controlled.

The stock market outlook isn’t as bleak at the moment with strong corporate earnings due in part to government spending. Also, in our view, valuations have come off to appropriate levels given long-term interest rates. Forward price to earnings (P/E) within the S&P 500 have gradually declined from 2020 to levels last seen in 2007 when 10-year treasuries were also around 5%. Pandemic stimulus catapulted valuations to over 25x. Forward P/E estimates are now more modest around 15x.

Given expected volatility, we believe a conservative approach with high diversification and relatively stable earnings streams will be favored. Our view is that growth companies with high valuations will be avoided along with potential credit cycle victims and those firms desperate for investors such as venture capital.

Thank you for your continued support.

Performance data quoted represents past performance. Past performance does not guarantee future results. Investment return and principal value of an investment will fluctuate so that an investor’s shares, when sold or redeemed, may be worth more or less than the original cost. Current performance data may be higher or lower than actual data quoted. For the most current month-end performance data, please call 1-866-759-5679.

Maximum Offering Price (MOP) for Class A shares includes the Fund’s maximum sales charge of 5.50%. Performance shown at NAV does not include these sales charges and would have been lower had it been taken into account.

A Contingent Deferred Sales Charge (“CDSC”) of 1.00% may apply to Class C shares redeemed within the first 12 months after a purchase, and on Class A shares redeemed within the first 18 months after a purchase in excess of $1 million.

¹ The Morningstar Developed Market Index measures the performance of developed regional markets targeting the top 97% of stocks by market capitalization. The index is not actively managed and does not reflect any deduction for fees, expenses or taxes. An investor may not invest directly in an index.

The table does not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on Fund distributions or the redemption of Fund shares.

This Fund is not suitable for all investors and is subject to investment risks, including possible loss of the principal amount invested.

Listed Private Equity Companies are subject to various risks depending on their underlying investments, which could include, but are not limited to, additional liquidity risk, industry risk, non-U.S. security risk, currency risk, credit risk, managed portfolio risk and derivatives risk (derivatives risk is the risk that the value of the Listed Private Equity Companies’ derivative investments will fall because of pricing difficulties or lack of correlation with the underlying investment).

There are inherent risks in investing in private equity companies, which encompass financial institutions or vehicles whose principal business is to invest in and lend capital to privately held companies. Generally, little public information exists for private and thinly traded companies, and there is a risk that investors may not be able to make a fully informed investment decision.

Listed Private Equity Companies may have relatively concentrated investment portfolios, consisting of a relatively small number of holdings. A consequence of this limited number of investments is that the aggregate returns realized may be adversely impacted by the poor performance of a small number of investments, or even a single investment, particularly if a company experiences the need to write down the value of an investment.

Certain of the Fund’s investments may be exposed to liquidity risk due to low trading volume, lack of a market maker or legal restrictions limiting the ability of the Fund to sell particular securities at an advantageous price and/or time. As a result, these securities may be more difficult to value. Foreign investing involves special risks, such as currency fluctuations and political uncertainty. The Fund invests in derivatives and is subject to the risk that the value of those derivative investments will fall because of pricing difficulties or lack of correlation with the underlying investment.

There is no guarantee that the Fund will continue to hold any one particular security or stay invested in any one particular company. The composition of the Fund's top holdings is subject to change. Performance figures are historical and reflect the change in share price, reinvested distributions, changes in net asset value, sales charges and capital gains distributions, if any.

RiverFront Asset Allocation Growth & Income

Management Commentary October 31, 2023 (Unaudited)

Year in Review (November 2022 – October 2023):

The fiscal year from 11/01/2022 to 10/31/2023 presented an environment where broad equity indices generally outperformed broad bond indices with the Bloomberg US Aggregate Index being about flat over the period and with both the All-Country World Index (ACWI) and the S&P 500 Index up approximately 10% for the period. Inflation abated during the period but remains elevated at fiscal year end as year over year CPI in November 2022 was 7.1% vs. 3.7% in September 2023. The Fed Funds rate went from 3.08% at the beginning of the period to 5.33% at the end of the period with the Fed leaning towards pausing rather than raising interest rates moving forward. As one would expect, 10-year treasury rates also increased substantially over the period. The VIX index (an index designed to measure constant, 30- day expected volatility of the U.S. stock market) moved down during the period from the mid-twenties to the mid-teens with some intra-period volatility, but no major spikes.

This market dynamic contributed to a moderate absolute performance year for balanced portfolios in general. Portfolios with more equity risk were generally rewarded given that broad fixed income markets were flat. Moreover, long-duration fixed income assets faired relatively poorly over the period. Developed international equities generally outperformed their US counterparts (by about 5%) with emerging international equities performing in line with US equities during this period.

Outlook:

As we begin to look at the next twelve months, we believe that there will be an asset allocation shift between equities and fixed income. Now that the equity risk premium has eroded to near zero, the bond market is getting to levels where investors must begin to rethink the equity/fixed income asset allocation decision, as fixed income is becoming more attractive than equities. With the 10-year Treasury yielding 4.56% and the S&P500’s dividend yield at 1.58%, the spread differential is compelling. Additionally, with yields this high, even the earnings yield on stocks is less compelling when compared to high quality corporate bonds yields. At fiscal year end, the equity risk premium is currently -138 basis points (4.93 earnings yield – 6.31 BBB corporate bond yield).

In lieu of the market performance over the last year, investors have begun to add exposure to international markets. However, we believe that the economic headwinds internationally such as war, inflation, and recession will continue a US bias in the fund as it has a stronger economic backdrop.

Performance data quoted represents past performance. Past performance does not guarantee future results. Investment return and principal value of an investment will fluctuate so that an investor's shares, when sold or redeemed, may be worth more or less than the original cost. Current performance data may be higher or lower than actual data quoted. For the most current month-end performance data, please call 1-866-759-5679.

Maximum Offering Price (MOP) for Class A shares includes the Fund’s maximum sales charge of 5.50%. Performance shown at NAV does not include these sales charges and would have been lower had it been taken into account.

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”). The Trust consists of multiple separate portfolios or series. This annual report includes the financial statements and financial highlights of the following 4 funds: ALPS | CoreCommodity Management CompleteCommodities^® Strategy Fund, ALPS | Kotak India ESG Fund (formerly ALPS | Kotak India Growth Fund), ALPS Global Opportunity Fund (formerly ALPS | Red Rocks Global Opportunity Fund), and RiverFront Asset Allocation Growth & Income (each, a “Fund” and collectively, the “Funds”).

The ALPS | CoreCommodity Management CompleteCommodities^® Strategy Fund seeks to maximize real returns, consistent with prudent investment management. ALPS | Kotak India ESG Fund seeks to achieve long-term capital appreciation. The ALPS Global Opportunity Fund seeks to maximize total return, which consists of appreciation on its investments and a variable income stream. RiverFront Asset Allocation Growth & Income seeks to achieve long-term growth and income.

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”). All intercompany transactions have been eliminated upon consolidation. 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 and financial highlights of the CoreCommodity Fund. All investments held by the Subsidiary are disclosed in the accounts of the CoreCommodity Fund. As of October 31, 2023, net assets of the CoreCommodity Fund were $1,653,621,164 of which $344,329,509 or 20.82%, represented the CoreCommodity Fund’s ownership of all issued shares and voting rights of the Subsidiary.

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, and follows accounting policies in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”), including policies specific to investment companies. 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 increases and decreases in net assets during the reporting 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. The Funds are an investment company and accordingly follows the investment company accounting and reporting guidance of the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") Accounting Standard Codification ("ASC") Topic 946 "Financial Services – Investment Companies”.

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 utilized by ALPS Advisors, Inc. (the "Adviser") as the the valuation designee (the "Valuation Designee"), 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. Investments in non-exchange traded funds are fair valued at their respective net asset values.

Notes to Financial Statements

October 31, 2023

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 limited move with respect to a particular commodity. Over-the-counter swap contracts are valued based on quotes received from independent pricing services or one or more dealers that make markets in such investments.

Option contracts are valued using the National Best Bid and Offer price (“NBBO”). In the event there is no NBBO price available, option contracts are valued at the mean between the last bid and ask.

For ALPS | Kotak India ESG Fund and ALPS Global Opportunity Fund, who hold equity securities that are primarily traded on foreign securities exchanges, such securities 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 the Valuation Designee. 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 Funds' portfolio is believed to have been materially affected by a 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 value determined by the 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.

Pursuant to Rule 2a-5 under the Investment Company Act of 1940, the Trust’s Board of Trustees (the “Board” or "Trustees") has appointed the Adviser to serve as the Valuation Designee to perform fair value determinations for investments in the Funds. When such prices or quotations are not available, or when the Valuation Designee appointed by the Board believes that they are unreliable, securities may be priced using fair value procedures approved by the Board. The fair valuation policies and procedures (“FV Procedures”) have been adopted by the Board for the fair valuation of portfolio assets held by the Funds in the event that (1) market quotations for the current price of a portfolio security or asset are not readily available, or (2) available market quotations that would otherwise be used to value a portfolio security or asset in accordance with the Fund’s Pricing Procedures appear to be unreliable. The Pricing Procedures reflect certain pricing methodologies (or “logics”) that are not “readily available market quotations” and thus are viewed and treated as fair valuations. The Valuation Designee routinely meets to discuss fair valuations of portfolio securities and other instruments held by the Funds.

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.

^(a) For detailed descriptions of country, sector and/or industry, see the accompanying Consolidated Statement of Investments.

The Funds, except for the ALPS | CoreCommodity Management CompleteCommodities^® Strategy, did not have any securities that used significant unobservable inputs (Level 3) in determining fair value and there were no transfers into or out of Level 3 during the year ended October 31, 2023. As of October 31, 2023, ALPS | CoreCommodity Management CompleteCommodities^® Strategy held securities classified as Level 3 in the fair value hierarchy valued at $1,118, which represents less than 0.005% of net assets.

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.

Federal Income Taxes: The Funds comply with the requirements under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”) applicable to regulated investment companies and intend to distribute substantially all of their net taxable income and net capital gains, if any, each year. The Funds are not subject to income taxes to the extent such distributions are made.

As of and during the year ended October 31, 2023, the Funds did not have a liability for any unrecognized tax benefits. The Funds recognize interest and penalties, if any, related to tax liabilities as income tax expense in the Statements of Operations or Consolidated Statement of Operation. The Funds file U.S. federal, state, and local tax returns as required. The Funds’ tax returns are subject to examination by the relevant tax authorities until expiration of the applicable statute of limitations which is generally three years after the filing of the tax return, but may extend to four years in certain jurisdictions. Tax returns for open years have incorporated no uncertain tax positions that require a provision for income taxes. For tax purposes, the Subsidiary is an exempt Cayman Islands investment company and has received an undertaking from the Government of the Cayman Islands exempting it from all local income, profits, and capital gains taxes. No such taxes are levied in the Cayman Islands at the present time. For U.S. income tax purposes, the Subsidiary is a controlled foreign corporation ("CFC") and as such is not subject to U.S. income tax. However, as a wholly-owned CFC, the net income and capital gain of the CFC, to the extent of its earnings and profits, will be included each year in the ALPS | CoreCommodity Management CompleteCommodities^® Strategy Fund's taxable income.

Distributions to Shareholders: Each Fund, except RiverFront Asset Allocation Growth & Income, normally pays dividends and distributes capital gains, if any, on an annual basis. RiverFront Asset Allocation Growth & Income normally pays dividends, if any, on a quarterly basis and distributes capital gains, if any, annually. Income dividend distributions are derived from interest, dividends, and other income a Fund receives from its investments, including distributions of short-term capital gains, if any. Capital gain distributions are derived from gains realized when a Fund sells a security it has owned for more than a year or from long-term capital gain distributions from underlying investments. 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.

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.

Notes to Financial Statements

October 31, 2023

Exchange Traded Funds (ETFs): Each Fund may invest in shares of ETFs and other similar instruments if the investment manager chooses to adjust a Fund’s exposure to the general market or industry sectors and to manage a Fund’s risk exposure. ETFs differ from traditional index funds in that their shares are listed on a securities exchange and can be traded intraday. ETF shares are shares of exchange traded investment companies that are registered under the 1940 Act and hold a portfolio of common stocks designed to track the performance of a particular index. Limitations of the 1940 Act may prohibit a Fund from acquiring more than 3% of the outstanding shares of certain ETFs. Instruments that are similar to ETFs represent beneficial ownership interests in specific “baskets” of stocks of companies within a particular industry sector or group. These securities may also be exchange traded, but unlike ETFs, the issuers of these securities are not registered as investment companies.

The portfolio manager may decide to purchase or sell short ETF shares or options on ETF shares for the same reasons it would purchase or sell (and as an alternative to purchasing or selling) futures contracts – to obtain exposure to the stock market or a particular segment of the stock market, or to hedge a Fund’s portfolio against such exposures. Depending on the market, the holding period and other factors, the use of ETF shares and options thereon can be less costly than the use of index options or stock index futures. In addition, ETF shares and options thereon can typically be purchased in smaller amounts than are available for futures contracts and can offer exposure to market sectors and styles for which there is no suitable or liquid futures contract.

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 withholding taxes or certain foreign securities, as soon as information is available to each Fund. Withholding taxes on foreign dividends are paid (a portion of which may be reclaimable) or provided for in accordance with the applicable country's tax rules and rates and are disclosed in the Statement of Operations or Consolidated Statement of Operations.

Cash Management Transactions: ALPS/ Kotak India ESG Fund subscribes to the Brown Brothers Harriman & Co. (“BBH”) Cash Management Service (“CMS”), whereby cash balances are automatically swept into overnight offshore demand deposits with either the BBH Grand Cayman branch or a branch of a pre-approved commercial bank. This fully automated program allows the Fund to earn interest on cash balances. Excess cash with deposit institutions domiciled outside of the U.S. are subject to sovereign actions in the jurisdiction of the deposit institution including, but not limited to, freeze, seizure or diminution. Cash balances in the BBH CMS are included on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities under Cash and Foreign currency, at value. As of October 31, 2023, the ALPS/ Kotak India ESG Fund had $2,721,930 cash balance participating in the BBH CMS. As of October 31, 2023, the ALPS/ Kotak India ESG Fund did not have any foreign cash balances participating in the BBH CMS.

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: Values of investments denominated in foreign currencies are converted into U.S. dollars using the current exchange rates each business day (generally 4:00 p.m. Eastern Time). Purchases and sales of investments and dividend income are translated into U.S. dollars using the current prevailing exchange rate on the transaction date. The effect of changes in foreign exchange rates on realized and unrealized gains or losses on securities is reflected as a component of such gains or losses. Transactions in foreign denominated assets may involve greater risks than domestic transactions. The Fund does not isolate that portion of the results of operations resulting from changes in foreign exchange rates on investments from the fluctuations arising from changes in market prices of securities held. Such fluctuations are included with the net realized and unrealized gain or loss from investments. Reported net realized foreign exchange gains or losses arise from sales of foreign currencies, currency gains or losses realized between the trade and settlement dates on securities transactions, and the difference between the amounts of dividends, interest, and foreign withholding taxes recorded on the Fund's books and the U.S. dollar equivalent of the amounts actually received or paid. Net unrealized foreign exchange gains and losses arise from changes in the fair values of assets and liabilities, other than investments in securities at fiscal period end, resulting from changes in exchange rates.

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 Code, or its failure to maintain exemption from registration under the 1940 Act. Distributions that the Fund receives from REITs can be classified as ordinary income, capital gain income or return of capital by the REITs that make these distributions to the Fund. However, it is not possible for the Fund to characterize distributions received from REITs during interim periods because the REIT issuers do not report their tax characterizations until subsequent to year end. During interim periods, the REIT distributions are accounted for as ordinary income until the re characterizations are made subsequent to year end.

Master Limited Partnerships (“MLPs”): Certain Funds may invest in MLPs, which 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.

3. DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS

As a part of their investment strategy, the Funds are permitted to enter in various types of derivatives contracts. In doing so, the Funds 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 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.

Cash collateral is being pledged to cover derivative obligations of the Funds and cash collateral received from the counterparty, if any, is reported separately on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities as cash pledged as collateral and cash received as collateral, respectively. Non-cash collateral pledged by the Funds, if any, is noted in the Statements of Investments or Consolidated Statement of Investments.

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 Funds to increase their market value exposure relative to their 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.

Notes to Financial Statements

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. 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 that are not directly reflected in the amounts recognized in the Statements of Assets and Liabilities or Consolidated Statement of Assets and Liabilities.

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 and are recorded on the Statement of Operations or Consolidated Statement of Operations.

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 Funds 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 October 31, 2023 are disclosed after the Statement of Investments or Consolidated Statement of Investments.

The average notional amount of the swap positions held in the ALPS | CoreCommodity Management CompleteCommodities^® Strategy Fund for the year ended October 31, 2023 was $1,246,268,590. Only the ALPS | CoreCommodity Management CompleteCommodities^® Strategy Fund held swap positions as of October 31, 2023.

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. These amounts are included in Deposit with broker for futures contracts on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. 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.

The average value of futures contracts held in the ALPS | CoreCommodity Management CompleteCommodities^® Strategy Fund for the year ended October 31, 2023 was $745,645,220 for long futures and $572,907,800 for short futures. Only the ALPS | CoreCommodity Management CompleteCommodities^® Strategy Fund invested in futures contracts as of October 31, 2023.

Forward Foreign Currency Contracts: Each Fund may engage in currency transactions with counterparties to hedge the value of portfolio securities denominated in particular currencies against fluctuations in relative value, to gain or reduce exposure to certain currencies, or to generate income or gains. A forward foreign currency contract is an agreement between two parties to buy and sell a currency at a set price on a future date. The contract is marked-to-market daily and the change in value is recorded by the Fund as an unrealized gain or loss. When a forward foreign currency contract is extinguished, through delivery, the 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 of the contract at the time it was extinguished. The average value of forward foreign currency contracts held in the ALPS Global Opportunity Fund for the year ended October 31, 2023 was $2,105,720. Only the ALPS Global Opportunity Fund invested in forward foreign currency contracts as of October 31, 2023.

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 which are recorded on the Statement of Operations or Consolidated Statement of Operations. As of October 31, 2023, the Funds were not invested in option contracts.

4. TAX BASIS INFORMATION

Tax Basis of Distributions to Shareholders: The character of distributions made during the year from net investment income or net realized gains may differ from its ultimate characterization for federal income tax purposes.

In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of each of the Funds as of October 31, 2023, the results of their operations for the year then ended, and the changes in net assets and the financial highlights for each of the two years in the period then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

The Funds’ financial highlights for the years or periods ended October 31, 2021, and prior, were audited by other auditors whose report dated December 30, 2021, expressed an unqualified opinion on those financial highlights.

Basis for Opinion

These financial statements are the responsibility of the Funds’ management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Funds’ financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (“PCAOB”) and are required to be independent with respect to the Funds in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement whether due to error or fraud.

Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of October 31, 2023, by correspondence with the custodians and brokers; when replies were not received from brokers, we performed other auditing procedures. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

We have served as the auditor of one or more investment companies advised by ALPS Advisors, Inc. since 2013.

In anticipation of and as part of the process to consider the renewal of the investment advisory agreement with AAI with respect to each Fund and the sub-advisory agreements with each Sub- Adviser with respect to the applicable Fund (the “Advisory Agreements”), legal counsel to the Independent Trustees requested certain information from AAI and each Sub-Adviser. In response to these requests, the Trustees received reports from AAI and each Sub-Adviser that addressed specific factors to be considered by the Board. The Board also received from independent legal counsel memoranda regarding the Board’s responsibilities pertaining to the approval of advisory contracts. Further, the Board met on June 13, 2023 with representatives of AAI and each Sub-Adviser and discussed the services the firms provided pursuant to the agreements, as well as the information they provided.

During the review process, the Board noted certain instances where clarification or follow-up was appropriate and others where the Board determined that further clarification or follow-up was not necessary. In those instances where clarification or follow-up was requested, the Board determined that in each case either information responsive to its requests had been provided, or where any request was outstanding in whole or in part, given the totality of the information provided with respect to the agreements, the Board had received sufficient information to renew and approve the agreements.

In approving AAI as the Funds’ investment adviser and each Sub-Adviser as the relevant Fund’s sub-adviser, and the fees to be charged under the Advisory Agreements, the Trustees concluded that no single factor reviewed by the Trustees was identified by the Trustees to be determinative as the principal factor in whether to approve such agreements. Further, the Independent Trustees were advised by independent legal counsel throughout the process. The following summary does not identify all the matters considered by the Board, but provides a summary of the principal matters the Board considered.

Global Opportunity Fund

In renewing and approving the Investment Advisory Agreement with AAI, the Trustees, including the Independent Trustees, considered the following factors with respect to the Global Opportunity Fund:

Investment Advisory Fee Rates: The Trustees reviewed and considered the contractual annual advisory fee rate paid by the Trust, on behalf of the Global Opportunity Fund, to AAI, of 0.85% of the Global Opportunity Fund’s daily average net assets, in light of the extent and quality of the advisory services provided by AAI to the Global Opportunity Fund. The Trustees also considered information regarding compensation paid to affiliates of AAI under other agreements, such as the Fund Accounting and Administration Agreement with ALPS.

The Board received and considered information including a comparison of the Global Opportunity Fund’s contractual advisory fee rate with those of funds in the peer group as selected by an independent provider of investment company data (the “Data Provider”). The Trustees noted that the contractual advisory fee rate for the Global Opportunity Fund was lower than the Data Provider peer group median rate for each class of the Fund, except for Class R, which was higher than the Data Provider peer group median rate.

Total Net Expense Ratios: The Trustees further reviewed and considered the total net expense ratios of 1.49%, 2.23%, 1.22%, 1.46%, and 1.68% for the Class A, Class C, Class I, Investor Class, and Class R shares, respectively, of the Global Opportunity Fund. The Trustees noted that the total net expense ratio for each class of the Global Opportunity Fund was higher than the Data Provider peer group median ratio.

Nature, Extent, and Quality of the Services under the Investment Advisory and Sub- Advisory Agreements: The Trustees received and considered information regarding the nature, extent, and quality of services provided to the Global Opportunity Fund under the Investment Advisory Agreement. The Trustees reviewed certain background materials supplied by AAI in its presentation, including its Form ADV.

The Trustees reviewed and considered AAI’s investment advisory personnel, its history as an asset manager and its performance and the amount of assets currently under management by AAI and its affiliated entities. The Trustees also reviewed the research and decision-making processes utilized by AAI, including the methods adopted to seek to achieve compliance with the investment objectives, policies, and restrictions of the Global Opportunity Fund.

The Trustees considered the background and experience of AAI’s management in connection with the Global Opportunity Fund, including reviewing the qualifications, backgrounds, and responsibilities of the management team primarily responsible for the day-to-day portfolio management of the Global Opportunity Fund and the extent of the resources devoted to research and analysis of actual and potential investments.

The Trustees also reviewed, among other things, AAI’s Codes of Ethics.

Performance: The Trustees reviewed performance information for the Global Opportunity Fund, which included a comparison of the Global Opportunity Fund’s performance to the performance of a peer group selected by the Data Provider for the three-month, one-year, three-year, five-

year, ten-year, and since inception periods ended March 31, 2023, as applicable. The Trustees noted that for the three-month and one-year periods, each class of the Fund underperformed the peer group median; for the three-year period, Class C and Class R had performance equal to the peer group median and each other class underperformed the peer group median; for the five year period, Investor Class had performance equal to the peer group median, Class R underperformed the peer group median, and Class C and Class I outperformed the peer group median; for the ten-year period, Class R had performance equal to the peer group median, and Class C, Class I, and Investor Class outperformed the peer group median; and for the since inception period, each class outperformed the peer group median except for Investor Class and Class R, which underperformed the peer group median. The Trustees also considered AAI’s investment performance and reputation generally and its investment techniques, risk management controls, and decision-making processes.

Comparable Accounts: The Trustees noted certain information provided by AAI regarding fees charged to its other clients utilizing a strategy similar to that employed by the Global Opportunity Fund.

Profitability: The Trustees received and considered a combined profitability analysis prepared by AAI based on the fees payable under the Investment Advisory Agreement with AAI, with respect to the Global Opportunity Fund.

Economies of Scale: The Trustees considered whether economies of scale in the provision of services to the Global Opportunity Fund will be passed along to the shareholders under the agreements.

Other Benefits to the Adviser and Sub-Adviser: The Trustees reviewed and considered any other incidental benefits derived or to be derived by AAI and Red Rocks from their relationship with the Global Opportunity Fund, including whether soft dollar arrangements were used.

The Trustees, including all of the Independent Trustees, concluded that:

● the contractual advisory fee rate for the Global Opportunity Fund was lower than the Data Provider peer group median rate for each class of the Global Opportunity Fund, except for Class R, which was higher than the Data provider peer group median rate;

● the total net expense ratio for each class of the Global Opportunity Fund was higher than the Data Provider peer group median ratio;

● the nature, extent, and quality of services rendered by AAI under the Investment Advisory Agreement with respect to the Global Opportunity Fund were adequate;

● for the three-month, one-year, three-year, five-year, ten-year, and since inception periods ended March 31, 2023, as applicable, the Trustees noted that for the three- month and one-year periods, each class of the Fund underperformed the peer group median; for the three-year period, Class C and Class R had performance equal to the peer group median and each other class underperformed the peer group median; for the five year period, Investor Class had performance equal to the peer group median, Class R underperformed the peer group median, and Class C and Class I outperformed the peer group median; for the ten-year period, Class R had performance equal to the peer group median, and Class C, Class I, and Investor Class outperformed the peer group median; and for the since inception period, each class outperformed the peer group median except for Investor Class and Class R, which underperformed the peer group median. ;

● bearing in mind the limitations of comparing different types of managed accounts and the different levels of service typically associated with such accounts, the fee structures applicable to AAI’s other clients employing a comparable strategy to the Global Opportunity Fund was not indicative of any unreasonableness with respect to the advisory fees payable by the Global Opportunity Fund;

● the profit, if any, realized by AAI in connection with the operation of the Global Opportunity Fund is not unreasonable to the Global Opportunity Fund; and

● at this time, there were no material economies of scale or other incidental benefits accruing to AAI in connection with their relationship with the Global Opportunity Fund.

Based on the Trustees’ deliberations and their evaluation of the information described above, the Trustees, including all of the Independent Trustees, concluded that AAI’s compensation for investment advisory services is consistent with the best interests of the Global Opportunity Fund and its shareholders.

Liquidity Risk Management Program

October 31, 2023 (Unaudited)

The Financial Investors Trust (the “Trust”) has established a liquidity risk management program (the “Program”) to govern the Trust’s approach to managing liquidity risk for each fund in the Trust (each a “Fund”). The Program is overseen by the Liquidity Committee (the “Committee”), a committee comprised of representatives of the Trust’s investment advisers, sub-advisers, and Officers of the Trust. The Trust’s Board of Trustees (the “Board”) has approved the designation of the Committee to oversee the Program.

The Program’s principal objectives include supporting each Fund’s compliance with limits on investments in illiquid assets and mitigating the risk that a Fund will be unable to meet its redemption obligations in a timely manner. The Program also includes a number of elements that support the management and assessment of liquidity risk, including a periodic assessment of factors that influence a Fund’s liquidity and the periodic classification and re-classification of the Fund’s investments into groupings that reflect the Committee’s assessment of their relative liquidity under current market conditions.

At a meeting of the Board held on June 13, 2023, the Trustees received a report from the Committee regarding the design and operational effectiveness of the Program during the calendar year 2022. The Committee determined, and reported to the Board, that the Program is reasonably designed to assess and manage each Fund’s liquidity risk and has operated adequately and effectively to manage each Fund’s liquidity risk since implementation.

The Committee reported that during the period covered by the report, there were no liquidity events that impacted the Funds or their ability to timely meet redemptions without dilution to existing shareholders. Among other things, the Board noted that the Funds are not required to have a highly liquid investment minimum based on their liquidity classifications. The Board further noted that no material changes have been made to the Program since its implementation.

Disclosure of Fund Expenses

Example. As a shareholder of the Funds, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including applicable sales charges (loads) and redemption fees; and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees, distribution and service (12b-1) fees, shareholder service fees and other Fund expenses. The following examples are intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Funds and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds. The examples are based on an investment of $1,000 invested on May 1, 2023 and held until October 31, 2023.

Actual Expenses. The first line under each class in the table below provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this line, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the first line under the heading “Expenses Paid During Period May 1, 2023 – October 31, 2023” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.

Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes. The second line under each class in the table below provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Fund’s actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Fund’s actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Funds and other mutual funds. To do so, compare these 5% hypothetical examples with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds.

Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transactional costs, such as sales charges or redemption fees. Therefore, the second line under each class in the table below is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transactional costs were included, your costs would have been higher.

ALPS | Smith Funds

Management Commentary October 31, 2023 (Unaudited)

Dear Shareholder,

The ALPS | Smith Total Return Bond Fund and ALPS | Smith Short Duration Bond Fund were launched on June 29, 2018. We followed with the launch of the ALPS | Smith Balanced Opportunity Fund and ALPS | Smith Credit Opportunities Fund on September 15, 2020. We welcome you as a shareholder to the Funds and thank you for your trust. Our process is centered on performance, relationships and investing excellence. Our goal is to provide shareholders with consistent, risk-adjusted returns with a keen focus on capital preservation.

Total Return

The ALPS | Smith Total Return Bond Fund Class I marked a positive return of 40 basis points (bps) in the twelve months ending October 31, 2023, while outperforming its benchmark, the Bloomberg US Aggregate Index, by 4 bps. The Fund outperformed the benchmark index by 712 bps since the inception of the Fund on June 29, 2018. The outperformance during the twelve-month period ending October 31, 2023, was attributed to security selection; primarily within corporate credit but also from the mortgage allocation in the Fund as the Fund’s positioning was less sensitive to the impact of increased interest rate volatility on mortgage-backed securities (MBS) performance. Sector allocation also contributed to the Fund’s outperformance for the period to a smaller extent. Yield curve positioning was a slight detractor to Fund performance for the period as the Fund’s US Treasury allocation and curve positioning were driven by risk management focused on offsetting some of the risk, yield curve and durations contribution impacts resulting for the MBS, and corporate positioning. The Fund’s overall performance since inception through October 31, 2023, was achieved by focusing on active sector rotation, duration management, security selection, and bottom-up fundamental credit analysis.

Short Duration

The ALPS | Smith Short Duration Bond Fund Class I marked a positive return of 369 bps in the twelve months ending October 31, 2023, outperforming its benchmark, the Bloomberg 1-3 Year US Government/Credit Index, by 46 bps. The Fund outperformed the benchmark index by 592 bps since the inception of the Fund on June 29, 2018. As a continuing theme, the Fund’s allocation to corporate bonds and a much smaller allocation to securitized assets allowed the Fund to out-yield the benchmark index during the period. The Fund’s allocation to floating rate securities helped performance on a calendar year-to-date (YTD) basis as rates trended higher. Additionally, individual security selection within corporate credit was a large component of the excess returns generated in the period. Duration management was an important contributor to performance for the period given the volatile moves in the front end. It was also important due to the cross currents resulting from the regional banking crisis earlier in the year, combined with the continued adjustment of the market to reflect a longer and higher than expected interest rate policy communicated by the Federal Reserve (Fed). The Fund continued to maintain its focus on capital preservation. While being overweight credit on a percentage basis vs. the benchmark, the Fund maintained a shorter credit duration positioning as valuations continued to compress and aimed to shield

investors from losses given moves higher in US Treasury (UST) yields and widening credit spreads.

Credit Opportunities

The ALPS | Smith Credit Opportunities Fund Class I marked a positive return of 155 bps in the twelve-month period ending October 31, 2023, underperforming its benchmark, a 50/50 blend of the Bloomberg US Aggregate Index and the Bloomberg US Corporate High Yield Index, by 172 bps. The Fund outperformed the Index by 320 bps since the inception of the Fund on September 15, 2020. The underperformance of the Fund over this annual period was predominately driven by security selection and duration/yield curve, partially offset by active asset allocation. Since inception, a dynamic several years, positive security selection along with asset allocation and active duration/yield curve management have aided the overall outperformance of the Fund. These pillars of returns, over a multi-year period, are the backbones from which the Fund seeks to generate its outperformance for fundholders.

Balanced Opportunity

The ALPS | Smith Balanced Opportunity Fund Class I marked a positive return of 537 bps in the twelve months ending October 31, 2023, while underperforming its benchmark, a blend of 55% Bloomberg 1000 / 45% Bloomberg Barclays US Aggregate Bond Index, by 3 bps. The Fund outperformed the Index by 419 bps since the inception of the Fund on September 15, 2020. The performance within the Fixed Income sleeve during the period was attributed to the Fund’s relative defensive duration positioning and an overweight in corporate credit assets, as well as corporate and securitized security selection. The Equity sleeve outperformed the Bloomberg 1000 equity index with broadly positive stock selection during the period. Overweights in strong performing industries like Software & Services, Semiconductors, and Media drove performance. Overall performance was also aided by the active asset reallocations between Equities and Fixed Income positions within the Fund’s portfolio. The Fund’s overall performance since inception was achieved by focusing on active portfolio positioning, duration management, security selection, bottom-up fundamental credit analysis and active asset allocation between the Fixed Income and Equity sleeves.

Macro Commentary

Throughout the twelve-month period, the market moved through three stages: 1) fear that the Federal Reserve was not slowing demand fast enough and the market pushing rate hike expectations materially higher. This quickly flipped to 2) pricing in well over 100 bps of rate cuts and an imminent recession due to the banking crisis. And finally, 3) accepting that the Fed may be able to facilitate a soft landing and adjusting the market to the Fed’s view of reaching the terminal level and pausing for an extended period. As the dust settled on what was a volatile twelve-month period, we saw the Fed raise rates to a range of 5.25-5.5% and pause, indicating that they are potentially nearing the terminal level while the data supports continued growth, albeit at a slower pace going forward. While the banking crisis unearthed the unintended consequences of tightening policy at a rapid pace, we can acknowledge both that the economy continues to have a strong foundation, yet event risk is likely in our future. As we ended the reporting period, views within the market

ALPS | Smith Funds

Management Commentary October 31, 2023 (Unaudited)

started to converge and accept the Fed’s stance and the underlying strength of the economy. This unfortunately did not ease the market volatility from both risk and risk-free assets.

The overall theme for this period was a disconnect between the Fed and the market. The Fed held constant in its messaging and action, the economy—much to the market’s surprise—continued to show resilience and the market flipped between extremes before finally accepting both the Fed’s stance and the economy’s strong foundation.

We’ve sounded like a broken record for the past twelve months, but once again the consumer proved to remain resilient. Throughout the reporting period, we saw an average of 249k jobs created, over 9M jobs were still available and wages reported above 4% year-over-year (YoY) throughout the entire reporting period. Gross domestic product (GDP) for the reporting period marked 2.9% YoY and a pace of 4.9% seasonally adjusted annual rate (SAAR) in 3Q2023 with consumption reporting 2.4% YoY at the end of the reporting period. Confidence remains weak, reminding us that the consumer may not “feel” as healthy as the data suggests plus the consumer still believes inflation remains too high. While we believe there is a higher likelihood of event driven risk in the future, the consumer’s resilience remains a source of strength and continues to be underpinned by a strong foundation.

Housing and manufacturing continued to have a difficult time recovering from the recent low levels as noted within the economic data. As a reminder, the COVID-19 pandemic and recovery created massive imbalances for both sectors, and this was further disrupted by the Fed’s rapid rate hikes. Housing was aided in the initial stages of the pandemic by work- from-home and low-interest rates. As rates moved up, affordability became out of reach for many, and the pace of sales declined. The next stage of recovery saw limited supply hindering home sales. After rising nearly 45% YoY during the height of the crises, existing home sales are now down 15% YoY. Manufacturing was negatively impacted by supply chain disruptions as well as labor issues and pricing throughout the pandemic and recovery. As time passed, the tightening of financial conditions due to higher rates as well as shifting consumer trends weighed on the manufacturing sector. The ISM Manufacturing index remained below 50 - the point of expansion vs. contraction – for the entire reporting period. Comments continued to point to slowing demand, soaring borrowing costs and ongoing labor issues. Employment within the ISM report started to shift from a labor shortage issue to layoffs over the reporting period and after pricing fell for most of 2022, prices paid within the ISM report hovered around the recent low levels.

GDP came in at 2.9% YoY as of 3Q2023 vs. 1.7% YoY in the previous twelve-month reporting period. Final sales to domestic purchasers marked a 2.5% YoY pace at the end of the reporting period vs. 1.3% in the previous period. As mentioned above, the consumer registered 2.4% YoY at the end of the reporting period vs. 1.9% YoY previously and continued to remain a pillar of strength. Gross Private Investment marked 1.8% YoY and Government Consumption rose 4.5% YoY. The strong foundation of the economy and robust labor market undermined the Fed’s attempt to slow demand.

Inflation moved lower but still not as quickly as the Fed preferred and started to show possible signs of stickiness towards the end of

the reporting period. The Fed continued to have the luxury of focusing on the inflation side of the mandate as employment remained stable throughout the period. Core Consumer Price Index (CPI) reported a high of 6.6% YoY in September 2022 and is now down to 4.1% YoY. Core personal consumption expenditures (PCE) rose to 5.4% YoY in February 2022 and now sits at 3.7% YoY.

The Fed increased rates from a range of 3-3.25% to a range of 5.25- 5.5% over the twelve-month period. They paused at the current level and are willing to hold rates for an extended period or resume hiking if necessary to ensure that inflation moves back to their 2% mandate over time. As previously mentioned, the overall theme for this period was a disconnect between the Fed’s projections and the market’s desires for rate policy. We started 2023 with the market believing the Fed was behind the curve. Post the banking crisis in March, the market narrative flipped to an expectation that the Fed would cut rates well over 100 bps by January 2024. As of the end of October 2023, the market expected the terminal level to hold near 5.4% before easing to 4.56% by January 2025.

Exiting the fiscal year, the Issues that have plagued us for the past year remain - high inflation but a strong foundation and a resilient consumer. The Fed is fiercely focused on fighting inflation at the expense of growth and a recovery that is walking a very fine line between sub-potential and event driven risk. We believe there are many unintended consequences that have yet to be uncovered due to the Fed’s aggressive tightening policy and the ability to weather future events is wearing thin. In the meantime, volatility likely will remain with us for some time.

Portfolio Positioning (as of October 31, 2023)

Throughout the annual period ending October 2023, Smith Capital Investors (SCI) remained more defensive across most major Fixed Income asset classes. The market has undergone a substantial period of repricing as monetary policy turned restrictive in response to higher inflation.

Total Return: Asset allocation changes throughout the period were more nuanced than previous years given a focus on gradually increasing the MBS weighting of the Fund and skewing the corporate sector allocation towards more defensive sectors. As part of this, both the High Yield and Preferred security allocations within the Fund were near the lows since the Fund’s inception. Additionally, the Fund’s duration contribution across investment grade and high-yield credit continues to remain towards the lower end of the historical range at fiscal year end given moves in valuations and further increased uncertainty in the future macroeconomic environment. The Fed’s continued rate hikes and “Quantitative Tightening” (QT) served to reverse the “crowding out” effect the Fed targeted, post the Great Financial Crisis. We believe that this drain of liquidity across the investing universe will continue to increase the volatility of asset prices as markets seek to adjust to this new dynamic. Elevated volatility, combined with increased geopolitical uncertainty and concerns about corporate fundamentals, made us less constructive on corporate credit exiting the fiscal year. However, we have been encouraged by the resiliency of both the domestic consumer and corporate fundamentals through October 31, 2023. Meanwhile, there is a continued generic theme from management teams focusing on proactively addressing underlying

Management Commentary October 31, 2023 (Unaudited)

business weaknesses and fortifying capital structures. Within the Fund’s corporate credit exposure, there has been a focus on utilizing the significant move higher in both short-duration interest rates and credit spreads to add to higher-yielding opportunities with short maturities. On the flip side, longer duration positioning within the Fund’s corporate credit exposure during the period was focused on what we see as more defensive, higher quality, less economically sensitive sectors that demonstrate less fundamental cyclicality in the event of an economic slowdown. At a high level, the Fund’s lower corporate credit duration profile helped reduce the Fund’s realized volatility from changing credit valuations during the fiscal year.

Exiting the period, we continue to seek investments in companies whose management interests are aligned with debtholders, either via reducing leverage or outright debt levels. Additionally, we look for a focus on managing through a variety of scenarios as we believe this provides optionality and downside protection. As mentioned previously, corporate fundamentals remained resilient during the period despite the economic weakness that has transpired due to the quantitative tightening cycle. Entering the next fiscal year, we intend to seek to maintain a close focus on how this impacts earnings reports going forward; however, thus far through October 31, 2023 the declines in earnings and forecasts have been much more impactful to equity valuations vs. the underlying creditworthiness of corporations.

As during most market conditions, short-duration high yield remains a focus for us. This area of the market historically has less forecasting error embedded in its analysis as it is a liquidity evaluation over a short period vs. a longer-term projection of industries, commodity prices and competitive dynamics facing a sector/company. We believe that positioning here allows the Fund to realize higher yield profiles vs. recent years while doing so at a more limited risk addition to the overall portfolio.

In addition, we are watching the market transition from a negative real rate environment (driven by Fed policy) to a positive real rate environment (more conscious of inflation). While this transition has created great volatility and significant markdowns on Fixed Income securities, we view this as healthy. In a world of negative real yields, and in some cases, negative absolute yields, valuations can exhibit a lack of common sense. We believe the transition back to a positive real rate will provide new and more attractive opportunities for investors within the Fixed Income space. At fiscal year end, duration and yield curve management continue to be of critical importance as we work through the next cycle.

Short Duration: While the Fund’s overall elevated credit exposure was maintained during the period, as of October 31, 2023, the exposure remains short with a focus on seeking to generate enhanced yield for shareholders due to the inverted shape of the interest rate curve. We believe this is a key part of the portfolio construction process as this high amount of “roll-off” allows for natural portfolio repositioning as economic and market conditions change. While corporate fundamentals have remained resilient, and the yield pickup is material vs. other asset classes, the increased uncertainty of the macro and corporate outlooks have argued for these proceeds to largely be reinvested in other asset classes, primarily US Treasuries. Given the material change in short-duration

US Treasury yields over the course of the Fed’s tightening, there was a shift in the Fund during the period towards allocating some exposure to more duration within the US Treasury bucket, which we believe would benefit from an economic slowdown and a pause or reversal in Fed policy direction.

Credit Opportunities: This annual period has been hallmarked by resilient consumer and corporate fundamentals which despite rates continuing to move higher has contributed to spreads tightening across both investment grade and high-yield bonds. With the move higher in rates and coupons resetting higher as companies come to the market to refinance existing bonds, or otherwise issue new financing, we believe the argument regarding the attractiveness of yield profiles (particularly current yield) and therefore income potential has become stronger.

Building into this yield environment, the Fund incrementally increased its exposure to corporate credit during the period, particularly seeking to take advantage of companies coming to the market and doing so with historically elevated coupons. Additionally, the Fund added to its securitized exposure as opportunities surfaced through the period, though the total exposure to this sleeve remains modest at fiscal year end.

Unique to this environment has been the shape of both the yield and the spread curves of corporate credit; both being historically flat. In this vein we have sought to take advantage of the presented opportunity to add the yield of high-quality companies and move in on the curve while sacrificing little to no give in yield to do so. We find that shorter maturity credit provides higher transparency and fewer required assumptions around future cash flows of the business, and when funds have the option to rely on fewer assumptions and receive similar yield that is an investment, we often find this attractive.

At fiscal year end, the Fund continues to maintain and actively manage around holding an elevated allocation to more liquid securities such as treasuries and low-volatility, shorter duration securities. We believe this allocation decision allows the Fund optionality around new opportunities as well as any future volatility and/or dislocations across asset classes that may develop in the future.

As always, the Fund continues to be built from the bottom-up, seeking to take advantage of predominately fundamentally improving businesses, capital structures and credit profiles. Understanding a company’s entire capital structure and how its management team is driving value creation across that structure continues to be a decisive focus of the Fund. Opportunities, like the broad flatness in yield and spread curves, as well as elevated new issue coupons are executed within the context of our fundamental view on an individual credit and the risk-adjusted return potential of the security targeted within its capital structure.

Balanced: The Fixed Income sleeve was run largely in line with the Total Return Fund, reallocating the Fund’s credit exposure throughout the period—most notably reducing the Fund’s high yield and preferred exposure and shifting the Fund’s investment grade exposure towards more defensive sectors and issuers. Overall

ALPS | Smith Funds

Management Commentary October 31, 2023 (Unaudited)

portfolio duration was actively managed with continued market fears around sticky inflation and the potential forward path of the Fed. Notably, compared to the Total Return Fund, at period end the Fund continues to run a lower relative credit risk profile given the current asset allocation between Fixed Income and Equities. The Fund was ~67% invested in the Equity sleeve and ~33% in the Fixed Income sleeve due to the market opportunity at the end of the period. Most of the active risk in the Fund is attributable to stock selection.

The Equity sleeve maintained a balanced style approach through the period. As Growth outperformed in the first half of the period the fund gradually too profits and reallocated to more Value exposed sectors such as Financials and Industrials. Throughout, the fund maintained it’s preference for higher Quality businesses with lower leverage and higer Return on Invested Capital than the index. At the end of the period the Equity Sleeve’s largest overweights versus the Bloomberg 1000 Index were Energy and Industrials, reflecting a belief that equity markets begin to look toward cyclical reacceleration over the next 12 to 18 months. The Equity Sleeve is underweight Technolgy and Utilities reflecting generally high valuations in those two sectors. Most of the active risk in the Fund is attributable to stock selection.

Within the Funds’ US Treasury allocations, we remained active in duration management throughout the period given the disconnect between the Fed and the market but ended the period near duration neutral to the Funds’ respective indices, specifically in Total Return. The Short Duration Fund mostly remained underweight vs. each of its benchmark indices due to the repricing of Fed expectations throughout the period. The market swung from believing the Fed was behind the curve, to pricing in a 100 bps cut during the banking crisis, to finally accepting the Fed’s view as we ended the period. The economic foundation remained stable throughout, and the Fed reconfirmed their commitment to the 2% inflation mandate. The 2- yr moved in a range of 3.77-5.22% over the year. February reacted to expectations that the Fed was behind the curve, while the lows were reached in March with the banking crisis. As we moved into October, new yield highs were set as the market accepted the strength of the economy. During the same period, the 30-yr moved between 3.43-5.11%, shifting between a flight to quality move and reacting to strong growth and sticky inflation. Attractive outright yield levels at the end of the period, coupled with geopolitical fears and the unintended risk associated with the Fed’s tightening policy, allowed the Fund to utilize Treasuries when the opportunity presented itself. Additionally, we remained proactive in using the longer duration US Treasury position as an insurance policy and believe that we are nearing peak yields for this cycle as the Fed is close to the terminal level and inflation is showing signs of easing.

Within the Funds’ securitized allocations, we continued to increase the Funds’ allocations to Agency-backed mortgage-backed securities via specific mortgage pools, collateralized mortgage obligations (CMOs) and Agency guaranteed commercial mortgage-backed securities (CMBS). Valuations for these asset classes had been very repressed following the direct Fed investment in this area of the market as part of its COVID-19 Quantitative Easing (QE) response. Overall, elevated interest rate volatility, the increase in mortgage

rates, slowdown in prepayments and the ongoing reduction in the Federal Reserve’s MBS holdings were headwinds for this area of the market during the period. Over the previous year, valuations adjusted to these new realities to a point that we believe mortgages are now offered, finally, at an attractive risk-adjusted return profile to compete with other major asset classes. As such, we continued to add to the space while acknowledging that the headwinds for the asset class are unlikely to abate. At fiscal year end, we continue to believe that select CMOs and Agency CMBS provide better convexity, exhibit less change in duration given changes in interest rates and prepayment speeds, and provide higher option-adjusted spreads and yield compared to the broader market. Throughout the year, we were aided in navigating volatility by our continued focus on seeking to select securities that perform well through a wide band of underlying economic and interest rate assumptions rather than a specific directional view.

Fixed Income Themes

Credit – The collapse of Silicon Valley Bank (SVB) brought the market to grips with the lagged effects of much tighter rate policy in the US and across the globe. While the extremity and perceived speed is not the same as that during in the whirlwind period around the downfall of SVB, at fiscal year end we are still seeing the effects of tightening on both corporates (particularly those with high amounts of floating rate debt) and consumers.

One thing we certainly walked away with was that income is back in fixed income, which we believe to be important for several reasons. Namely, where yields are the contractual return (interest income), absent a default (importance of security selection), yields acts as both a tailwind for forward return profiles as well as a buffer against downside volatility. Said another way, yields act as both a sail and ballast for fixed income returns, giving the structural propensity for positive forward returns and acting as the protection or absorption mechanism by which to weather stormy seas.

With this in mind, we do not put a lot of emphasis on precisely forecasting what tomorrow will look like, rather we have found focusing on things that are likely to prevail important and steadfast in numerous, though uncertain, economic environments to be more fruitful over a longer period for security selection. Some of these factors include resiliency of free cash flow profiles, defensible capital allocation favoring creditors and management intentions towards balance sheet positioning.

On management intentions, this year we saw many company management teams be proactive in addressing and strengthening capital structures with calls, tenders and outright debt reduction. We find this type of behavior encouraging and often exemplary of actions we want to allocate capital alongside.

Lastly, given the likely widening range of outcomes on the horizon at fiscal year end, we fall back on not only the above but also place elevated prominence on the following:

Security Selection – No matter the inning of the credit cycle or the outlook, there will always be differences in performance created by changing corporate credit risk profiles and influencing catalysts. In addition to focusing on securities with strong risk-adjusted returns,

7 | October 31, 2023

ALPS | Smith Funds

Management Commentary October 31, 2023 (Unaudited)

we look to overweight issuers that we believe display higher probabilities for improving credit strength, regardless of the macroeconomic backdrop.

Security Avoidance – Active management can purposefully choose to avoid owning certain credits or securities and should do so. In our view, a credit that has a higher probability of going through a phase of deteriorating credit strength would be a prime example of a name to avoid. On the security side, there may be fundamental, structural, or technical factors that create a lower estimated ratio of potential upside relative to the downside.

Risk-Adjusted Carry – Highlighted above, carry (yield income) is of elevated importance. This said, not all carry is the same. Fundamental analysis can unearth risk profiles that may be viewed more or less favorably when compared to their commensurate carry profiles. We believe the amplifying nature of duration and the continued general flatness of all-in-yield credit curves only increase the importance of focusing on risk-adjusted return profiles.

MBS – After the poor relative performance the previous year, despite the continued headwinds for the asset class, MBS marginally outperformed during this fiscal year. As of October 31, 2023, the Bloomberg US MBS Index (MBS Index) had nominal returns of positive 22 bps for the last fiscal year driven largely by the improved yield profile of these securities post the massive change in valuations marked in 2022. Year to date through the end of the period, despite intra-period volatility, nominal MBS spreads finished the last fiscal year essentially unchanged at 178 bps compared to 174 bps as of October 31, 2022. However, this does not tell the entire story as the option adjusted spread (OAS) of the MBS Index ranged between 35 and 85 bps for the period. From an excess return perspective, which adjusts for duration differentials, the MBS Index outperformed the Bloomberg US Aggregate Bond Index by 20 bps. Looking forward, we believe there is real potential for MBS outperformance on the horizon. At fiscal year end, MBS nominal spreads and option-adjusted spreads remain elevated compared to historical ranges and yield profiles of securities are vastly improved compared to the last ten years. We believe this should help to offset some of the impacts of the Fed’s MBS runoff, making the risk-adjusted return outlook from MBS much more balanced than it has been for the last couple of years.

Interest Rates – The Treasury landscape changed dramatically throughout the period. Volatility was high, marking both extremes. After believing the Fed was behind the curve, markets flipped to event driven risks, specifically the collapse of SVB and Signature Bank followed by First Republic Bank. The front-end moved up rapidly in February, reaching a recent high yield of 5.07 as Fed expectations repriced on fears of sticky inflation. This quickly reversed, falling to 3.77 due to fears that the Fed’s ~500 bps of rate hikes would have unintended consequences for the economy. Both the 10-yr and 30-yr moved within ~90 bps range throughout as the market flipped between the sticky inflation narrative and a flight-to-quality rally. After the economy marked strength after strength, the market finally came around to the view that the Fed would be able to facilitate a soft landing. The period ended with 2’s and 30’s flat to each other at 5.09% as the market expected the Fed to hold at the

terminal level while growth continued, and inflation slowly moving back towards the Fed’s target.

The Fed continued the rate hiking path through the market volatility, raising rates from 3.25 to 5.5% (upper bound range) over the reporting period, clearly stating that they had more work to do to bring inflation down. The 10 year-3 month curve inverted further, suggesting impending recession before starting to unwind the extreme inversions midway through the period. The 2 year/30 year, 5 year/10 year, 5 year/30 year and 10 year/30 year curves moved back to a positive curve relationship. As of the end of the reporting period, markets expect the Fed to pause rates at the 5.25-5.5% level before cutting rates to 4.56% by January 2025. We were once again reminded throughout the market volatility that the long-end remains a safe haven asset in a flight-to-quality move.

The Fed appears to be nearing the end of the aggressive rate hiking cycle, but they remain committed to slowing demand to bring inflation back to the 2% mandate. This suggests that the Fed will be on hold at the terminal level, likely 5.5%, for longer than the market desires. Given the strong data we received at the end of the reporting period, the market’s hand was forced to concede to the Fed’s soft-landing narrative. While we are happy with the strength of the economy, specifically the consumer, we are closely watching for the next event driven risk. Additionally, inflation data is showing early signs of stickiness after the vast improvement we made this past year. The first quarter of the calendar year reminded us that warning signs are flashing, and recession probability was elevated. The second quarter proved why we remain productive on the strength of the labor market and the resilience of the consumer. And the third quarter reinforced that this is a new era and both businesses and consumers have adjusted to higher rates relatively well. We are very much still in an adjustment phase which is and will continue to be painful, but if the COVID-19 pandemic has taught us anything, it is to expect the unexpected. There will be winners and losers, similar to the heart of the pandemic. Given the strong foundation of both businesses and consumers, we believe there is a reasonable chance that the economy can continue to grow at sub-potential levels, but the margin of error is increasing. The Fed is walking a thin line between making sure that inflation is completely under control and creating a recession. Thus far, even with the market risk and volatility we registered in 2023, the Fed is committed to fighting inflation. The push/pull between the market’s view and the Fed’s desires has been a consistent theme for many years and will continue going forward.

At fiscal year end, we are opportunistic in this market both in credit and US Treasury exposure given the recent large-scale moves in valuations. At a high level, we expect that Treasuries will become more appreciated by the market as we get closer to the end of the Fed’s hiking cycle, allowing Treasuries to once again be utilized as an off set in a risk off market as a flight-to-quality move.

Conclusion

We have once again been reminded that cycles are shorter, and the market reprices much faster than in previous periods. While we spent the annual period living between extreme market events and opposing views, when we cut through the short-term noise, we remain constructive on the foundation of the economy.

We continue to live in a push/pull between the Fed and the market and while it briefly looked like the market won the first round in 2023, the Fed is still in the game and ended 2023 strong. With the increased market volatility, we believe in defensiveness and incrementalism and remain excited for the market opportunities ahead in Fixed Income. Exiting the period, we not only have heightened levels of liquidity across the Funds’ portfolios, but we are also focused on seeking to make smart but aggressive moves while leaning on the math behind the market as our keys to success.

In our view, the risks are rising, and the outlook is less straight-forward as we near the end of the current cycle. While the Fed will continue to fight inflation, in our view they are closer to the terminal level than previous periods. We are encouraged by both consumers and businesses but recognize that the economy remains uneven. We believe there is still a small chance that the Fed can facilitate a soft landing, maintain the terminal level, and allow the economy to grow at sub-potential levels. As time progresses, this view is becoming more likely, and a range bound market may be ahead of us in 2024.

It is our view as of fiscal year end that the Funds’ portfolios over the next six- to-twelve months may look different as we enter the next phase in the cycle. Our job is to seek to recognize changes in sentiment and direction in markets. With current outright levels on yields, at fiscal year end our view is that the market looks more attractive—even considering the uncertainty on the horizon - than at many points over the last five years. To say we are excited about the opportunity in the Fixed Income space is an understatement. It is our belief that portfolios should change and evolve as we move through cycles is reinforced in this environment. There will be a time in the future when opportunistic positioning will be rewarded.

At our core, we are active managers, and both security selection and avoidance are always at the front of our mind. Our three pillars continue to drive our actions—Investment Excellence, Relationships/ People, and Intentional Culture.

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”). The Trust consists of multiple separate portfolios or series. This annual report includes the financial statements and financial highlights of the ALPS | Smith Short Duration Bond Fund, ALPS | Smith Total Return Bond Fund, ALPS | Smith Credit Opportunities Fund and ALPS |Smith Balanced Opportunity Fund (each, a “Fund” and collectively, the “Funds”).

The ALPS | Smith Total Return Bond Fund seeks to obtain maximum total return, consistent with preservation of capital. The ALPS | Smith Short Duration Bond Fund seeks as high a level of current income as is consistent with preservation of capital. The ALPS | Smith Balanced Opportunity Fund seeks long-term capital growth, consistent with preservation of capital and balanced by current income. The ALPS | Smith Credit Opportunities Fund seeks to obtain maximum risk-adjusted return with a secondary focus on high current income.

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.

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, and follows accounting policies in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”), including policies specific to investment companies. 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 increases and decreases in net assets from operations during the reporting 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. The Funds are considered investment companies under U.S. GAAP and follow the accounting and reporting guidance applicable to investment companies in the Financial Accounting Standards Board Accounting Standards Codification Topic 946 "Financial Services -Investment Companies".

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 utilized by ALPS Advisors, Inc. (the "Adviser") as the valuation designee (the "Valuation Designee"), 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. Investments in non-exchange traded funds are fair valued at their respective net asset values. Bonds may be purchased and held as odd lots. Pricing vendors generally value securities assuming orderly transactions of institutional round lot sizes, but a Fund may hold or transact in such securities in smaller, odd lot sizes. Special valuation considerations may apply with respect to a Fund’s odd-lot positions, as the Fund may receive different prices when it sells such positions than it would receive for sales of institutional round lot positions. The Funds have odd lot pricing policies they employ to value odd lot securities.

Pursuant to Rule 2a-5 under the Investment Company Act of 1940, the Trust’s Board of Trustees (the “Board” or "Trustees") has appointed the Adviser to serve as the Valuation Designee to perform fair value determinations for investments in the Funds. When such prices or quotations are not available, or when the Valuation Designee believes that they are unreliable, securities may be priced using fair value procedures approved by the Board. The fair valuation policies and procedures (“FV Procedures”) have been adopted by the Board for the fair valuation of portfolio assets held by the Funds in the event that (1) market quotations for the current price of a portfolio security or asset are not readily available, or (2) available market quotations that would otherwise be used to value a portfolio security or asset in accordance with the Funds' Pricing Procedures appear to be unreliable. The Pricing Procedures reflect certain pricing methodologies (or “logics”) that are not “readily available market quotations” and thus are viewed and treated as fair valuations. The Valuation Designee routinely meets to discuss fair valuations of portfolio securities and other instruments held by the Funds.

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 October 31, 2023:

^(a) For detailed descriptions of sector and/or industry, see the accompanying Statement of Investments.

For the year ended October 31, 2023, the Funds did not have any securities that used significant unobservable inputs (Level 3) in determining fair value.

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.

Federal Income Taxes: The Funds comply with the requirements under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”) applicable to regulated investment companies and intend to distribute substantially all of their net taxable income and net capital gains, if any, each year. The Funds are not subject to income taxes to the extent such distributions are made.

As of and during the fiscal year ended October 31, 2023, the Funds did not have a liability for any unrecognized tax benefits. The Funds recognize interest and penalties, if any, related to tax liabilities as income tax expense in the Statements of Operations. The Funds file U.S. federal, state, and local tax returns as required. The Funds’ tax returns are subject to examination by the relevant tax authorities until expiration of the applicable statute of limitations which is generally three years after the filing of the tax return, but may extend to four years in certain jurisdictions. Tax returns for open years have incorporated no uncertain tax positions that require a provision for income taxes.

Distributions to Shareholders: Each Fund normally pays dividends, if any, on a monthly basis and distributes capital gains, if any, annually. Income dividend distributions are derived from interest, dividends, and other income a Fund receives from its investments, including distributions of short-term capital gains. Capital gain distributions are derived from gains realized when a Fund sells a security it has owned for more than a year or from long-term capital gain distributions from underlying investments. 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.

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. Withholding taxes on foreign dividends are paid (a

portion of which may be reclaimable) or provided for in accordance with the applicable country's tax rules and rates and are disclosed in the Statements of Operations.

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 Code, or its failure to maintain exemption from registration under the 1940 Act. Distributions that the Fund receives from REITs can be classified as ordinary income, capital gain income or return of capital by the REITs that make these distributions to the Fund. However, it is not possible for the Fund to characterize distributions received from REITs during interim periods because the REIT issuers do not report their tax characterizations until subsequent to year end. During interim periods, the REIT distributions are accounted for as ordinary income until the re characterizations are made subsequent to year end.

Treasury Inflation Protected-Securities (“TIPS”): The Funds may invest in 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.

3. TAX BASIS INFORMATION

Tax Basis of Distributions to Shareholders: The character of distributions made during the year from net investment income or net realized gains may differ from its ultimate characterization for federal income tax purposes. Also, due to the timing of dividend distributions, the fiscal year in which amounts are distributed may differ from the fiscal year in which the income or realized gain were recorded by a Fund. The amounts and characteristics of tax basis distributions and composition of distributable earnings/(accumulated losses) are finalized at fiscal year-end.

The tax character of distributions paid by the Funds for the fiscal year ended October 31, 2023 were as follows:

Fund	Ordinary Income		Long-Term Capital Gain
ALPS | Smith Short Duration Bond Fund	$	25,706,335	$	–
ALPS | Smith Total Return Bond Fund		82,393,989		–
ALPS | Smith Credit Opportunities Fund		12,125,733		–
ALPS | Smith Balanced Opportunity Fund		433,359		–

The tax character of distributions paid by the Funds for the fiscal year ended October 31, 2022 were as follows:

Fund	Ordinary Income		Long-Term Capital Gain		Return of Capital
ALPS | Smith Short Duration Bond Fund	$	10,319,191	$	461,598		–
ALPS | Smith Total Return Bond Fund		48,395,387		–		164,536
ALPS | Smith Credit Opportunities Fund		11,785,660		15,464		150,396
ALPS | Smith Balanced Opportunity Fund		446,229		14,205		902

Notes to Financial Statements

October 31, 2023

Components of Distributable Earnings on a Tax Basis: At October 31, 2023, permanent differences in book and tax accounting were reclassified. These differences had no effect on net assets and were primarily attributed to net operating losses and taxable overdistributions.

For the fiscal year ended October 31, 2023, the following reclassifications, which had no impact on results of operations or net assets, were recorded to reflect tax character:

Fund	Paid-in Capital			Distributable earnings
ALPS | Smith Short Duration Bond Fund	$	(1,026	)	$	1,026
ALPS | Smith Total Return Bond Fund		(111,540	)		111,540
ALPS | Smith Credit Opportunities Fund		97,354			(97,354	)
ALPS | Smith Balanced Opportunity Fund		(1,103	)		1,103

As of October 31, 2023, the components of distributable earnings/(accumulated losses) on a tax basis were as follows:

	Undistributed net investment income		Accumulated net realized gain/(loss) on investments			Other cumulative effect of timing differences		Net unrealized appreciation/ (depreciation) on investments			Total
ALPS | Smith Short Duration Bond Fund	$	–	$	(24,976,227	)	$	–	$	(10,353,506	)	$	(35,329,733	)
ALPS | Smith Total Return Bond Fund		–		(216,815,567	)		–		(193,326,665	)		(410,142,232	)
ALPS | Smith Credit Opportunities Fund		18,104		(40,988,901	)		–		(13,634,183	)		(54,604,980	)
ALPS | Smith Balanced Opportunity Fund		–		(1,552,321	)		–		1,093,499			(458,822	)

Capital Losses: Under current law, capital losses maintain their character as short-term or long-term and are carried forward to the next tax year without expiration. As of October 31, 2023 the following amounts are available as carry forwards to the next tax year:

Fund	Short-Term		Long-Term
ALPS | Smith Short Duration Bond Fund	$	19,265,259	$	5,710,968
ALPS | Smith Total Return Bond Fund		136,969,631		79,845,937
ALPS | Smith Credit Opportunities Fund		20,672,760		20,316,141
ALPS | Smith Balanced Opportunity Fund		1,345,611		206,710

Unrealized Appreciation and Depreciation on Investments: As of October 31, 2023, the costs of investments for federal income tax purposes and accumulated net unrealized appreciation/(depreciation) on investments were as follows:

Fund	Gross Appreciation (excess of value over tax cost)		Gross Depreciation (excess of tax cost over value)			Net Unrealized Appreciation/ (Depreciation)			Cost of Investments for Income Tax Purposes
ALPS | Smith Short Duration Bond Fund	$	96,390	$	(10,449,896	)	$	(10,353,506	)	$	610,536,633
ALPS | Smith Total Return Bond Fund		1,621,634		(194,948,299	)		(193,326,665	)		2,523,998,930
ALPS | Smith Credit Opportunities Fund		430,470		(14,064,653	)		(13,634,183	)		226,593,133
ALPS | Smith Balanced Opportunity Fund		2,488,052		(1,394,553	)		1,093,499			19,041,321

The differences between book cost and tax cost of investments and unrealized appreciation/depreciation are primarily attributed to the tax deferral of losses on wash sales and trust preferred basis adjustments.

The Plans allows each Fund to use Investor Class, Class A and Class C assets to pay fees in connection with the distribution and marketing of Investor Class, Class A and Class C shares and/or the provision of shareholder services to Investor Class, Class A and Class C shareholders. The Plans permit payment for services in connection with the administration of plans or programs that use Investor Class, Class A and Class C shares of a Fund, if any, as their funding medium and for related expenses. The Plans permit a Fund to make total payments at an annual rate of up to 0.25% of a Fund’s average daily net assets attributable to its Investor Class and Class A shares and 0.75% of a Fund’s average daily net assets attributable to its Class C shares.

Under the terms of the Plans, the Trust is authorized to make payments to the Distributor for remittance to financial intermediaries, as compensation for distribution and/or shareholder ongoing services performed by such entities for beneficial shareholders of the Fund. The Distributor is entitled to retain some or all fees payable under the Plans in certain circumstances, including when there is no broker of record or when certain qualification standards have not been met by the broker of record.

Shareholder Services Plans

The Funds have adopted a shareholder services plan with respect to the Investor Class shares and Class A shares (the “Investor Class Shareholder Services Plan” and the “Class A Shareholder Services Plan”). Under the Investor Class Shareholder Services Plan and Class A Shareholder Services Plan, the Funds are authorized to compensate certain financial intermediaries, including broker dealers and Fund affiliates (“Participating Organizations”), an aggregate fee in an amount not to exceed on an annual basis 0.15% of the average daily net asset value of Investor Class and Class A shares of the Funds attributable to or held in the name of the Participating Organizations pursuant to an agreement with a such Participating Organizations (the “Agreement”). Each Agreement will set forth the non-distribution related shareholder services to be performed by the Participating Organizations for the benefit of a Fund’s shareholders who have elected to have such Participating Organizations service their accounts. Any amount of such payment not paid to Participating Organizations during a Fund’s fiscal year for such service activities shall be reimbursed to the Fund as soon as practicable. Shareholder Services Plan fees are included with distribution and service fees in the Statements of Operations. Investor Class Shareholder Services Plan fees recaptured pursuant to the Services Plan for the year ended October 31, 2023 are included as an offset to distribution and service fees as disclosed in the Statements of Operations.

Under the Class C Shareholder Services Plan, the Funds are authorized to pay banks and their affiliates and other institutions, including broker-dealers and Fund affiliates (“Participating Organizations”), an aggregate fee in an amount not to exceed on an annual basis 0.25% for Class C shares of the average daily net asset value of the Class C shares attributable to or held in the name of a Participating Organization for its clients as compensation for providing shareholder service activities, which do not include distribution services, pursuant to an agreement with a Participating Organization. Any amount of such payment not paid to Participating Organizations during a Fund’s fiscal year for such service activities shall be reimbursed to the Fund as soon as practicable after the end of the fiscal year. Class C Shareholder Services Plan fees are included with distribution and service fees on the Statements of Operations.

Certain intermediaries may charge networking, omnibus account or other administrative fees with respect to transactions in shares of each Fund. Transactions may be processed through the National Securities Clearing Corporation or similar systems or processed on a manual basis. These fees generally are paid by the Fund to the Distributor, which uses such fees to reimburse intermediaries. In the event an intermediary receiving payments from the Distributor on behalf of the Fund converts from a networking structure to an omnibus account structure or otherwise experiences increased costs, fees borne by the Fund may increase. Networking fees are shown in the Statements of Operations, if applicable to the Funds.

7. INDEMNIFICATIONS

Under the Trust’s organizational documents, its officers and Trustees are indemnified against certain liability arising out of the performance of their duties to the Trust. Additionally, in the normal course of business, the Trust enters into contracts with service providers that may contain general indemnification clauses which may permit indemnification to the extent permissible under applicable law.

Opinion on the Financial Statements

We have audited the accompanying statements of assets and liabilities, including the statements of investments, of ALPS | Smith Short Duration Bond Fund, ALPS | Smith Total Return Bond Fund, ALPS | Smith Credit Opportunities Fund, and ALPS | Smith Balanced Opportunity Fund (the “Funds”), each a series of Financial Investors Trust, as of October 31, 2023, the related statements of operations for the year then ended, and the statements of changes in net assets, the related notes, and the financial highlights for each of the two years in the period then ended (collectively referred to as the “financial statements”). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of each of the Funds as of October 31, 2023, the results of their operations for the year then ended, and the changes in net assets and the financial highlights for each of the two years in the period then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

The Funds’ financial highlights for the years or periods ended October 31, 2021, and prior, were audited by other auditors whose report dated December 30, 2021, expressed an unqualified opinion on those financial highlights.

Basis for Opinion

These financial statements are the responsibility of the Funds’ management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Funds’ financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (“PCAOB”) and are required to be independent with respect to the Funds in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement whether due to error or fraud.

Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of October 31, 2023, by correspondence with the custodian, agent banks and brokers; when replies were not received from brokers, we performed other auditing procedures. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

We have served as the auditor of one or more investment companies advised by ALPS Advisors, Inc. since 2013.

Board Considerations Regarding Approval of Investment

Advisory Agreement and Investment Sub-Advisory Agreements

October 31, 2023 (Unaudited)

In anticipation of and as part of the process to consider the renewal of the investment advisory agreement with AAI with respect to each Fund and the sub-advisory agreement with the Sub- Adviser with respect to the applicable Fund (the “Advisory Agreements”), legal counsel to the Independent Trustees requested certain information from AAI and the Sub-Adviser. In response to these requests, the Trustees received reports from AAI and the Sub-Adviser that addressed specific factors to be considered by the Board. The Board also received from independent legal counsel memoranda regarding the Board’s responsibilities pertaining to the approval of advisory contracts. Further, the Board met on June 13, 2023 with representatives of AAI and the Sub-Adviser and discussed the services the firms provided pursuant to the agreements, as well as the information they provided.

During the review process, the Board noted certain instances where clarification or follow-up was appropriate and others where the Board determined that further clarification or follow-up was not necessary. In those instances where clarification or follow-up was requested, the Board determined that in each case either information responsive to its requests had been provided, or where any request was outstanding in whole or in part, given the totality of the information provided with respect to the agreements, the Board had received sufficient information to renew and approve the agreements.

In approving AAI as the Funds’ investment adviser and the Sub-Adviser as the Fund’s sub-adviser, and the fees to be charged under the Advisory Agreements, the Trustees concluded that no single factor reviewed by the Trustees was identified by the Trustees to be determinative as the principal factor in whether to approve such agreements. Further, the Independent Trustees were advised by independent legal counsel throughout the process. The following summary does not identify all the matters considered by the Board, but provides a summary of the principal matters the Board considered.

In renewing and approving the Investment Advisory Agreement with AAI and the Investment Sub- Advisory Agreement with Smith Capital Investors, LLC, the Trustees, including the Independent Trustees, considered the following factors with respect to the Smith Funds:

Investment Advisory and Sub-Advisory Fee Rates: The Trustees reviewed and considered the contractual annual advisory fee rates paid by the Trust, on behalf of the Funds, to AAI, of 0.365% of the Short Duration Bond Fund’s daily average net assets, 0.545% of the Total Return Bond Fund’s daily average daily net assets, 0.75% of the Credit Opportunities Fund’s average daily net assets, and 0.70% of the Balanced Opportunity Fund’s average daily net assets, in light of the extent and quality of the advisory services provided by AAI to the Funds. The Trustees also reviewed and considered the contractual annual sub- advisory fee rates paid by AAI to Smith Capital Investors, LLC of 0.29% of the Short Duration Bond Fund’s daily average net assets, 0.42% of the Total Return Bond Fund’s daily average daily net assets, 0.50% of the Credit Opportunities Fund average daily net assets, and 0.37% of the Balanced Opportunity Fund’s average daily net assets, in light of the extent and quality of the advisory services provided by Smith Capital Investors, LLC to the Smith Funds. The Trustees also considered information regarding compensation to be paid to affiliates of AAI under other agreements, such as the Fund Accounting and Administration Agreement with ALPS.

The Board received and considered information including a comparison of each Smith Fund’s contractual and gross advisory fee rates with those of funds in the peer group as selected by an independent provider of investment company data (the “Data Provider”). The Trustees noted that the contractual advisory fee for each class of the Total Return Bond Fund and Credit Opportunities Fund was higher than the Data Provider peer group median; the contractual advisory fee for each class of the Short Duration Bond Fund was lower than the Data Provider peer group median; the contractual advisory fee for Class A of the Balanced Opportunities Fund was higher than the Data provider peer group median; the contractual advisory fee for the Investor Class of the Balanced Opportunities Fund was equal to the Data Provider peer group median; and the contractual advisory fees for the Class C and Class I of the Balanced Opportunities Fund were each lower than their Data Provider peer group median.

Total Net Expense Ratios: The Trustees further reviewed and considered the total net expense ratios of 0.92%, 1.64%, 0.64%, and 0.93% for the Class A, Class C, Class I, and Investor Class shares, respectively, of the Total Return Bond Fund; 0.74%, 1.49%, 0.49%, and 0.78% for the Class A, Class C, Class I, and Investor Class shares, respectively, of the Short Duration Bond Fund; 1.16%, 1.90%, 0.90%, and 1.17% for the Class A, Class C, Class I, and Investor Class shares of the Credit Opportunities Fund, respectively; and 1.11%, 1.85%, 0.85%, 1.12% for the Class A, Class C, Class I, and Investor Class shares of the Balanced Opportunity Fund, respectively. The Trustees noted that the total net expense ratio of each class of Total Return Bond Fund and Credit Opportunities Fund was higher than the Data Provider peer group median ratio; the total net expense ratio for each class of the Balanced Opportunities Fund was lower than the Data Provider peer group median ratio; the total net expense ratio of Class A and Class I of the Short Duration Bond Fund was lower than the Data Provider peer group median; and the total net expense ratio for each other class of the Short Duration Bond Fund was higher than the Data Provider peer group median.

Nature, Extent, and Quality of the Services under the Investment Advisory and Sub-Advisory Agreements: The Trustees received and considered information regarding the nature, extent, and quality of services to be provided to the Smith Funds under the Investment Advisory and Sub-Advisory Agreements. The Trustees reviewed certain background materials supplied by AAI and Smith Capital Investors, LLC in their presentations, including their Forms ADV.

The Trustees reviewed and considered AAI’s and Smith Capital Investors, LLC's investment advisory personnel, their history as asset managers and their performance and the amount of assets currently under management by AAI and Smith Capital Investors, LLC and their affiliated entities. The Trustees also reviewed the research and decision-making processes utilized by AAI and Smith Capital Investors, LLC, including the methods adopted to seek to achieve compliance with the investment objectives, policies and restrictions of the Smith Funds.

The Trustees also reviewed, among other things, AAI’s and Smith Capital Investors, LLC's Codes of Ethics.

Performance: The Trustees reviewed performance information for the Smith Funds, which included a comparison of each Fund’s performance to the performance of a group of comparable funds selected by the Data Provider for the three-month, one-year, three-year, and since inception periods ended March 31, 2023, as applicable. The Trustees noted that for the three month period, each class of the Balanced Opportunity Fund outperformed the Data Provider peer group median and each class of each other Fund underperformed the Data Provider peer group median; for the one-year period, each class of the Short Duration Fund and Total Return Fund outperformed the Data Provider peer group median and each class of the Credit Opportunities Fund and Balanced Opportunity Fund underperformed the Data Provider peer group median; for the three-year period, each class of the Short Duration Fund outperformed the Data Provider peer group median and each Class of the Total Return Fund underperformed the Data Provider peer group median; and for the since inception period, each class of the Short Duration Fund and Total Return Fund outperformed the Data Provider peer group median and each class of the Credit Opportunities Fund and Balanced Opportunity Fund underperformed the Data Provider peer group median. The Trustees also considered Smith Capital Investors, LLC's investment performance and reputation generally and its investment techniques, risk management controls, and decision-making processes.

Comparable Accounts: The Trustees noted that neither Smith Capital Investors, LLC nor AAI currently manages any other accounts with similar strategies to the Smith Funds.

Profitability: The Trustees received and considered the profitability analyses prepared by AAI and Smith Capital Investors, LLC based on the fees payable under the Investment Advisory Agreement with AAI and the Investment Sub-Advisory Agreement with Smith Capital Investors, LLC, with respect to the Smith Funds, respectively. The Trustees considered the profits, if any, realized by AAI and Smith Capital Investors, LLC in connection with the operation of the Smith Funds.

Economies of Scale: The Trustees considered whether economies of scale in the provision of services to the Smith Funds will be passed along to the shareholders under the agreements.

Other Benefits to the Adviser and Sub-Adviser: The Trustees reviewed and considered any other incidental benefits derived or to be derived by AAI and Smith Capital Investors, LLC from their relationship with the Smith Funds, including whether soft dollar arrangements were used.

Liquidity Risk Management Program

October 31, 2023 (Unaudited)

The Financial Investors Trust (the “Trust”) has established a liquidity risk management program (the “Program”) to govern the Trust’s approach to managing liquidity risk for each fund in the Trust (each a “Fund”). The Program is overseen by the Liquidity Committee (the “Committee”), a committee comprised of representatives of the Trust’s investment advisers, sub-advisers, and Officers of the Trust. The Trust’s Board of Trustees (the “Board”) has approved the designation of the Committee to oversee the Program.

The Program’s principal objectives include supporting each Fund’s compliance with limits on investments in illiquid assets and mitigating the risk that a Fund will be unable to meet its redemption obligations in a timely manner. The Program also includes a number of elements that support the management and assessment of liquidity risk, including a periodic assessment of factors that influence a Fund’s liquidity and the periodic classification and re-classification of the Fund’s investments into groupings that reflect the Committee’s assessment of their relative liquidity under current market conditions.

At a meeting of the Board held on June 13, 2023, the Trustees received a report from the Committee regarding the design and operational effectiveness of the Program during the calendar year 2022. The Committee determined, and reported to the Board, that the Program is reasonably designed to assess and manage each Fund’s liquidity risk and has operated adequately and effectively to manage each Fund’s liquidity risk since implementation.

The Committee reported that during the period covered by the report, there were no liquidity events that impacted the Funds or their ability to timely meet redemptions without dilution to existing shareholders. Among other things, the Board noted that the Funds are not required to have a highly liquid investment minimum based on their liquidity classifications. The Board further noted that no material changes have been made to the Program since its implementation.
