Brandes International Equity Fund

Dear Fellow Investor,

The net asset value of the Brandes International Equity Fund (Class I Shares) declined 5.03% in the six months ending March 31, 2019. For the same period, the MSCI EAFE Index fell 3.81%.

Portfolio holdings in the Diversified Telecommunication Services, Equity Real Estate Investment Trusts and Oil, Gas & Consumable Fuels industries were contributors to performance, while holdings in Capital Markets, Banks and Food & Staples Retailing detracted from returns.

Holdings in Brazil, Russia and Finland contributed to performance, while results were hampered by holdings in the United Kingdom, Switzerland and Japan.

Three of the largest individual contributors to performance were Fibra Uno Administracion SA de CV (Mexico — Equity Real Estate Investment Trusts), Telefonica Brasil SA (Brazil — Diversified Telecommunication Services) and Petroleo Brasileiro SA (Brazil — Oil, Gas & Consumable Fuels). Conversely, WPP Plc (United Kingdom — Media), Cemex SAB de CV (Mexico — Construction Materials) and UBS Group AG (Switzerland — Capital Markets) were three of the largest detractors from performance.

At the close of the period, the Fund’s largest country weights were in the United Kingdom and France, and the Fund’s largest industry weights were in Pharmaceuticals and Oil, Gas & Consumable Fuels. Please note that while macro conditions are considered when we determine valuation estimates for individual companies, our country and industry weightings are a by-product of bottom-up stock selection, not the result of top-down observations.

For 45 years, Brandes Investment Partners has had the same goal: Seek better-than-market returns to help you pursue your long-term investment goals. We believe steadfast adherence to our value investing approach can help us achieve this aim because it compels us to invest in companies we view as strong yet appealingly priced. We thank you for your confidence and for investing with us.

Sincerely yours,

The Brandes International Large-Cap Investment Committee

Because the values of the Fund’s investments will fluctuate with market conditions, so will the value of your investment in the Fund. You could lose money on your investment in the Fund, or the Fund could underperform other investments. The values of the Fund’s investments fluctuate in response to the activities of individual companies and general stock market and economic conditions. In addition, the performance of foreign securities depends on the political and economic environments and other overall economic conditions in the countries where the Fund invests. Emerging

country markets involve greater risk and volatility than more developed markets. Some emerging markets countries may have fixed or managed currencies that are not free-floating against the U.S. dollar. Certain of these currencies have experienced, and may experience in the future, substantial fluctuations or a steady devaluation relative to the U.S. dollar. Value stocks typically are less volatile than growth stocks; however, issues of value stocks typically have a lower expected growth rate in earnings and sales than issues of growth stocks.

Brandes International Small Cap Equity Fund

Dear Fellow Investor,

The net asset value of the Brandes International Small Cap Equity Fund (Class I Shares) fell 7.93% in the six months ending March 31, 2019. For the same period, the S&P Developed Ex-U.S. SmallCap Index declined 8.04%.

Portfolio holdings in the Electric Utilities, Trading Companies & Distributors and Diversified Telecommunication Services industries were contributors to performance, while holdings in Household Durables, Food & Staples Retailing and Pharmaceuticals detracted from returns.

Holdings in Brazil, Hungary and Slovenia contributed to performance, while results were hampered by holdings in the United Kingdom, Canada and Japan.

Three of the largest individual contributors to performance were Companhia Paranaense de Energia (Brazil — Electric Utilities), Mills Estruturas e Servicos de Engenharia SA (Brazil — Trading Companies & Distributors) and Fibra Uno Administracion SA de CV (Brazil — Equity Real Estate Investment Trusts). Conversely, Dorel Industries, Inc. (Canada — Household Durables), J Sainsbury Plc (United Kingdom — Food & Staples Retailing) and Sierra Wireless, Inc. (Canada — Communications Equipment) were three of the largest detractors from performance.

At the close of the period, the Fund’s largest country weights were in Japan and the United Kingdom, and the Fund’s largest industry weights were in Food & Staples Retailing and Food Products. Please note that while macro conditions are considered when we determine valuation estimates for individual companies, our country and industry weightings are a by-product of bottom-up stock selection, not the result of top-down observations.

Brandes Investment Partners has had the same goal since we started 45 years ago: Realize above-market gains to help you pursue your long-term investment objectives. We aim to do so by staying true to our value approach, which seeks fundamentally sound but potentially undervalued companies for the Fund. Thank you for investing with us.

Sincerely yours,

The Brandes Small-Cap Investment Committee

Because the values of the Fund’s investments will fluctuate with market conditions, so will the value of your investment in the Fund. You could lose money on your investment in the Fund, or the Fund could underperform other investments. The values of the Fund’s investments fluctuate in response to the activities of individual companies and general stock market and economic conditions. In addition, the performance of foreign securities depends on the political and economic environments and other overall

Brandes International Small Cap Equity Fund

economic conditions in the countries where the Fund invests. Emerging country markets involve greater risk and volatility than more developed markets. Some emerging markets countries may have fixed or managed currencies that are not free-floating against the U.S. dollar. Certain of these currencies have experienced, and may experience in the future, substantial fluctuations or a steady devaluation relative to the U.S. dollar. Investments in small and medium capitalization companies tend to have limited liquidity and greater price volatility than investments in larger capitalization companies. Value stocks typically are less volatile than growth stocks; however, issues of value stocks typically have a lower expected growth rate in earnings and sales than issues of growth stocks.

Brandes Core Plus Fixed Income Fund

Dear Fellow Investor,

The net asset value of the Brandes Core Plus Fixed Income Fund (Class I Shares) gained 3.34% in the six months ending March 31, 2019. For the same period, the Bloomberg Barclays Aggregate Bond Index increased 4.63%.

Portfolio holdings in select corporate bonds detracted from performance.

Within corporate bonds holdings in Metals & Mining (Cloud Peak Energy), Telecommunications (Frontier Communications Corp.) and Banks & Thrifts (USB Capital IX) detracted from performance.

An underweight to U.S. agency mortgage-backed securities (MBS) was a positive performance factor, while duration positioning detracted from returns.

At the close of the period, the Fund continues to favor short maturity corporate bonds and those that we believe exhibit strong, tangible asset coverage. The Fund is underweight agency MBS. The duration is positioned toward the shorter end of our duration-controlled range. The Fund has a high allocation, relative to the benchmark, to U.S. Treasuries that we will look to redeploy thoughtfully and efficiently — if and when market uncertainty and volatility cause credit fundamentals to become mispriced from our estimates of intrinsic value.

In the 45-plus years since Brandes Investment Partners was founded, our goal has remained the same: pursue above-market gains to help you move closer to your long-term investment objectives. We believe that our unwavering commitment to value investing will lead us to attractively priced, fundamentally sound companies worthy of inclusion in the fund.

Sincerely Yours,

The Brandes Fixed Income Investment Committee

Brandes Investment Trust

Because the values of the Fund’s investments will fluctuate with market conditions, so will the value of your investment in the Fund. You could lose money on your investment in the Fund, or the Fund could underperform other investments. The values of the Fund’s investments fluctuate in response to the activities of individual companies and general stock market and economic conditions. In addition, the performance of foreign securities depends on the political and economic environments and other overall economic conditions in the countries where the Fund invests. Emerging country markets involve greater risk and volatility than more developed markets. Some emerging markets countries may have fixed or managed currencies that are not free-floating against the U.S. dollar. Certain of these currencies have experienced, and may experience in the future, substantial fluctuations or a steady devaluation relative to the U.S. dollar. It is not possible to invest directly in an index.

30

Brandes Core Plus Fixed Income Fund

As with most fixed income funds, the income on and value of your shares in the Fund will fluctuate along with interest rates. When interest rates rise, the market prices of the debt securities the Fund owns usually decline. When interest rates fall, the prices of these securities usually increase. Generally, the longer the Fund’s average portfolio maturity and the lower the average quality of its portfolio, the greater the price fluctuation. The price of any security owned by the Fund may also fall in response to events affecting the issuer of the security, such as its ability to continue to make principal and interest payments or its credit rating. Below investment grade debt securities are speculative and involve a greater risk of default and price change due to changes in the issuer’s creditworthiness. The market prices of these debt securities may fluctuate more than the market prices of investment grade debt securities and may decline significantly in periods of general economic difficulty.

Asset coverage: Assets available to cover debt obligations after all other liabilities have been satisfied.

Duration: The weighted maturity of a fixed-income investment’s cash flows, used in the estimation of the price sensitivity of fixed-income securities for a given change in interest rates.

Please refer to the Schedule of Investments in the report for complete holdings information. Fund holdings, geographic allocations and/or sector allocations are subject to change at any time and are not a recommendation to buy or sell any security.

Expense Example (Unaudited)

As a shareholder of a Fund, you incur ongoing costs, including investment advisory and administrative fees and other fund expenses. The examples below are intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Funds and to compare these costs with ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds.

The examples are based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period from October 1, 2018 to March 31, 2019 (the “Period”).

Actual Expenses

This section provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. The “Ending Account Value” shown is derived from each Fund’s actual return. You may use the information in this section, 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 given for the Fund under the heading “Expenses Paid During Period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.

* Expenses are equal to the Fund’s expense ratio for the period, multiplied by the average account value over the period, multiplied by 182/365 (to reflect the one-half year period).

Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes

This section provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Funds’ actual expense ratios and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which are not the Funds’ actual returns. 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 this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other mutual funds.

Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transaction costs, such as brokerage commissions on purchase and sales of Fund shares. Therefore, the last column of the table 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.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

NOTE 1 – ORGANIZATION

The Brandes International Equity Fund (the “International Fund”), the Brandes Global Equity Fund (the “Global Fund”), the Brandes Global Equity Income Fund (the “Global Income Fund”), the Brandes Global Opportunities Value Fund (the “Global Opportunities Fund”), the Brandes Emerging Markets Value Fund (the “Emerging Markets Fund”), the Brandes International Small Cap Equity Fund (the “International Small Cap Fund”), the Brandes Small Cap Value Fund (the “Small Cap Value Fund”) and the Brandes Core Plus Fixed Income Fund (the “Core Plus Fund”) (each a “Fund” and collectively the “Funds”) are series of Brandes Investment Trust (the “Trust”). The Trust is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the “1940 Act”) as a diversified, open-end management investment company.

The International Fund, Global Fund, Global Income Fund, Global Opportunities Fund, Emerging Markets Fund, International Small Cap Fund, Small Cap Value Fund and Core Plus Fund began operations on January 2, 1997, October 6, 2008, December 31, 2014, December 31, 2014, January 31, 2011, February 1, 2012, January 2, 2018 and December 28, 2007, respectively. Prior to January 31, 2011 for the Emerging Markets Fund, February 1, 2012 for the International Small Cap and January 2, 2018 for the Small Cap Value Fund, these Funds’ portfolios were managed as private investment funds with investment objectives, investment policies and strategies that were, in all material respects, equivalent to those of the Emerging Markets Fund, International Small Cap Fund and Small Cap Value Fund, respectively.

NOTE 2 – SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Each Fund is an investment company that applies the accounting and reporting guidance issued in Topic 946, “Financial Services-Investment Companies”, by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”). The following is a summary of significant accounting policies consistently followed by the Funds. These policies are in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) in the United States of America.

A. Repurchase Agreements.  Each Fund may enter into repurchase agreements with government securities dealers recognized by the Federal Reserve Board, with member banks of the Federal Reserve System or with other brokers or dealers that meet the credit guidelines established by the Board of Trustees. Each Fund will always receive and maintain, as collateral, U.S. Government securities whose market value, including accrued interest (which is recorded in the Schedules of Investments), will be at least equal to 100% of the dollar amount invested by the Fund in each agreement, and the Fund will make payment for such securities only upon physical delivery or upon evidence of book entry transfer to the account of the Fund’s custodian. If the term of any repurchase transaction exceeds one business day, the value of the collateral is marked-to-market on a daily basis to ensure the adequacy of the collateral. Before causing a Fund to enter into a repurchase agreement with any other party, the investment advisor will determine that such party does not have any apparent risk of becoming involved in bankruptcy proceedings within the time frame contemplated by the repurchase agreement. If the seller defaults and the value of the collateral declines, or if bankruptcy proceedings are commenced with respect to the seller of the security, realization of the collateral by the Fund may be delayed or limited. At March 31, 2019, the Funds’ ongoing exposure to the economic return on repurchase agreements is shown on the Schedules of Investments.

B. Foreign Currency Translation and Transactions.  Values of investments denominated in foreign currencies are converted into U.S. dollars using the spot market rates of exchange at the time of valuation. Purchases and sales of investments and dividend and interest income are translated into U.S. dollars using the spot market rates of exchange prevailing on the respective dates of such translations. The gain or loss resulting from changes in foreign exchange rates is included with net realized and unrealized gain or loss from investments, as appropriate. Foreign securities and currency transactions may involve certain considerations and risks not typically associated with those of domestic origin.

Foreign securities are recorded in the financial statements after translation to U.S. dollars based on the applicable exchange rate at the end of the period. The Funds report certain foreign currency-related transactions as

95

Brandes Investment Trust

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — (continued)

components of realized gains or losses for financial reporting purposes, whereas such components are treated as ordinary income for federal income tax purposes.

C. Delayed Delivery Securities.  The Funds may purchase securities on a when issued or delayed delivery basis. “When-issued” or delayed delivery refers to securities whose terms are available and for which a market exists, but that have not been issued. For a when-issued or delayed delivery transaction, no payment is made until delivery date, which is typically longer than the normal course of settlement. When a Fund enters into an agreement to purchase securities on a when-issued or delayed delivery basis, the Fund segregates cash or liquid securities, of any type or maturity, equal in value to the Fund’s commitment. Losses may arise if the market value of the underlying securities change, if the counterparty does not perform under the contract, or if the issuer does not issue the securities due to political, economic, or other factors. The Funds did not have any open commitments on delayed delivery securities as of March 31, 2019.

D. Participatory Notes.  The International, Global, Global Income, Global Opportunities, Emerging Markets, International Small Cap and Small Cap Value Funds may invest in participatory notes. Participatory notes are derivative securities which are designed to provide synthetic exposure to one or more underlying securities, subject to the credit risk of the issuing financial institution.

Investments in participatory notes involve risks normally associated with a direct investment in the underlying securities. In addition, participatory notes are subject to counterparty risk, which is the risk that the broker-dealer or bank that issues the notes will not fulfill its contractual obligation to complete the transaction with the Trust. Participatory notes constitute general unsecured, unsubordinated contractual obligations of the banks or broker-dealers that issue them and generally are issued as an actual note from the financial intermediary or an equity linked warrant (commonly known as a low exercise price option). The Trust is relying on the creditworthiness of such banks or broker-dealers and has no rights under a participatory note against the issuer of the securities underlying such participatory note. The investment advisor has established guidelines for monitoring participatory note exposure for the Funds. Prior to investment in a participatory note, the investment advisor will complete an analysis of the prospective counterparties and once purchased, will continue to monitor creditworthiness on a quarterly basis. The investment advisor requires a minimum credit rating for such counterparties (as determined by rating agencies such as Moody’s, Fitch and S&P) of A.

96

Brandes Investment Trust

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — (continued)

The Funds record counterparty credit risk valuation adjustments, if material, on the participatory notes in order to appropriately reflect the credit quality of the counterparty.

The International, Global, Global Income, Global Opportunities, International Small Cap and Small Cap Value Funds did not invest in any participatory notes at March 31, 2019. The Emerging Markets Fund invested in one participatory note with HSBC Bank Plc in which HSBC Bank Plc is an investment vehicle used to gain exposure to the underlying security of China South Publishing & Media Group Co. Ltd. China South Publishing & Media Group Co. Ltd. was held from the beginning of the fiscal year through the end of the period. The average monthly market value of this security was $14,623,693 during the period. As a result of the investment in the participatory note, the Emerging Markets Fund did not recognize a realized gain (loss). The market value of China South Publishing & Media Group Co. Ltd. on March 31, 2019 was $15,221,587 and can be found in the Emerging Market Fund’s Schedule of Investments.

E. Investment Transactions, Dividends and Distributions.  Investment transactions are accounted for on the trade dates. Realized gains and losses are evaluated on the basis of identified costs. Dividend income and distributions to shareholders are recorded on the ex-dividend dates. Interest is recorded on an accrual basis. Withholding taxes on foreign dividends and capital gains, which are included as a component of net investment income and realized gain (loss) on investments, respectively, have been provided for in accordance with the Trust’s understanding of the applicable country’s tax rules and rates. Each Fund’s investment income, expenses, other than class specific expenses, and realized and unrealized gains and losses are allocated daily to each class of the Fund’s shares based upon the relative net asset values of outstanding shares of each class of shares at the beginning of the day (after adjusting for the current capital shares activity of the respective class). Expenses common to the Funds’ portfolios are allocated among the Funds based upon their relative net asset values or other appropriate allocation methods. The Funds amortize premiums and accrete discounts using the constant yield method.

F. Concentration of Risk.  As of March 31, 2019, the International, Global, Global Income, Global Opportunities, Emerging Markets and International Small Cap Funds held significant portions of their assets in foreign securities. Certain price and foreign exchange fluctuations as well as economic and political situations in the foreign jurisdictions could have an impact on the International, Global, Global Income, Global Opportunities, Emerging Markets and International Small Cap Funds’ net assets. The investment advisor monitors these off-balance sheet risks.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — (continued)

G. Use of Estimates.  The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and reported amounts of income and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates and assumptions.

H. Securities Lending.  The Funds may lend their portfolio securities to banks, brokers and dealers. Lending Fund securities exposes the Fund to risks such as the following: (i) the borrower may fail to return the loaned securities, (ii) the borrower may not be able to provide additional collateral, or (iii) the Funds may experience delays in recovery of the loaned securities or loss of rights in the collateral if the borrower fails financially.

To minimize these risks, the borrower must agree to maintain collateral with the Fund’s custodian, marked to market daily, in the form of U.S. Government obligations, in an amount at least equal to 102% (105% in the case of loans of foreign securities not denominated in U.S. dollars) of the market value of the loaned securities. As of March 31, 2019, the International Fund, Global Fund, Global Income Fund, Global Opportunities Fund, Emerging Markets Fund, Small Cap Value Fund and Core Plus Fund did not have any securities on loan. The International Small Cap Fund had a market value of a security loaned of $1,516,541 and received non-cash collateral for the loan of $1,563,750. Non-cash collateral received by the Fund may not be sold or re-pledged except to satisfy a borrower default. Therefore, non-cash collateral is not included on the Fund’s Schedules of Investments or Statements of Assets and Liabilities.

I. Indemnification Obligations.  Under the Trust’s organizational documents, its current and former officers and trustees are indemnified against certain liabilities arising out of the performance of their duties to the Trust. The Trust has indemnified its trustees against any expenses actually and reasonably incurred by the trustees in any proceeding arising out of or in connection with the trustees’ service to the Trust. In addition, in the normal course of business, the Trust enters into contracts that contain a variety of representations and warranties and provide general indemnifications. The Funds’ maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Funds that have not yet occurred or that would be covered by other parties.

J. Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes.  Each Fund has elected to be taxed as a “regulated investment company” and intends to distribute substantially all its taxable income to its shareholders and otherwise comply with the provisions of the Internal Revenue Code applicable to regulated investment companies. The Funds may be subject to a nondeductible excise

98

Brandes Investment Trust

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — (continued)

tax calculated as a percentage of certain undistributed amounts of net investment income and net capital gains. The Funds intend to distribute their net investment income and capital gains as necessary to avoid this excise tax. Therefore, no provision for federal income taxes or excise taxes has been made.

The Trust analyzes all open tax years, as defined by the applicable statute of limitations, for all major jurisdictions. Open tax years for the Funds are those that are open for exam by taxing authorities (2015 through 2018). As of March 31, 2019 the Trust has no examinations in progress.

Management has analyzed the Trust’s tax positions, and has concluded that no liability should be recorded related to uncertain tax positions expected to be taken on the tax return for the fiscal year-ended September 30, 2018.

The Trust identifies its major tax jurisdictions as the U.S. Government and the State of California. The Funds are not aware of any tax positions for which it is reasonably possible that the total amounts of unrecognized tax benefits will significantly change in the next twelve months.

K. Fair Value Measurements.  The Trust has adopted GAAP accounting principles related to fair value accounting standards which establish a definition of fair value and set out a hierarchy for measuring fair value. These standards require additional disclosures about the various inputs and valuation techniques used to develop the measurements of fair value and a discussion of changes in valuation techniques and related inputs during the period. These inputs are summarized in the three broad levels listed below:

Level 1 — Fair value measurement within Level 1 should be based on an unadjusted quoted price in an active market that the Funds have the ability to access for the asset or liability at the measurement date. Because a quoted price alone forms the basis for the measurement, the access requirement within Level 1 limits discretion in pricing the asset or liability, including in situations in which there are multiple markets for the asset or liability with different prices and no single market represents a principal market for the asset or liability. Importantly, the Financial Accounting Standards Board has indicated that when a quoted price in an active market for a security is available, that price should be used to measure fair value without regard to an entity’s intent to transact at that price.

Level 2 — Fair value measurement within Level 2 should be based on all inputs other than unadjusted quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability. Other significant observable market inputs include quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets, quoted adjusted prices in active markets, quoted prices for

identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active, and model-derived valuations in which the majority of significant inputs and significant value drivers are observable in active markets.

Level 3 — Fair value measurement within Level 3 should be based on unobservable inputs in such cases where markets do not exist or are illiquid. Significant unobservable inputs include model derived valuations in which the majority of significant inputs or significant value drivers are unobservable. Unobservable inputs are those inputs that reflect the Fund’s own assumptions that market participants would use to price the asset or liability based on the best available information.

L. Security Valuation.  Common and preferred stocks, exchange-traded funds and financial derivative instruments, such as futures contracts and options contracts that are traded on a national securities or commodities exchange, are valued at the last reported sales price at the close of regular trading on each day the exchange is open for trading, in the case of common stocks and exchange-traded funds, or, in the case of futures contracts or options contracts, the settlement price determined by the relevant exchange. Securities listed on the NASDAQ National Market System for which market quotations are readily available are valued using the NASDAQ Official Closing Price. To the extent these securities are actively traded and valuation adjustments are not applied, they are categorized as Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy.

Equity securities traded on an exchange for which there have been no sales on the valuation date are generally valued at the mean between last bid and ask price on such day and are categorized as Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy, or are fair valued by the Valuation Committee.

Investments in registered open-end management investment companies are valued based upon the Net Asset Values (“NAVs”) of such investments and are categorized as Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy.

Valuation adjustments may be applied to certain common and preferred stocks that are solely traded on a foreign exchange to account for the market movement between the close of the foreign market and the close of the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”). These securities are generally valued using pricing service providers that consider the correlation of the trading patterns of the foreign securities to the intraday trading in the U.S. markets for investments. Securities using these valuation adjustments are categorized as Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy. As of March 31, 2019, the International Fund, Global Fund, Global Income Fund, Global Opportunities Fund, Emerging Markets Fund and International Small Cap Fund had securities with market values of $616,170,423, $27,004,200, $749,526, $4,863,168, $673,688,789 and $325,804,004 that represent

76.95%, 57.47%, 56.20%, 47.40%, 45.83% and 49.11% of each Fund’s net assets, respectively, that were fair valued using these valuation adjustments.

Fixed income securities (other than repurchase agreements and demand notes) including corporate, convertible and municipal bonds and notes, U.S. government agencies, U.S. Treasury obligations, sovereign issues, bank loans, convertible preferred securities, fixed income securities purchased on a delayed delivery basis and non-U.S. bonds are normally valued on the basis of quotes obtained from brokers and dealers or independent pricing services or sources. Independent pricing services typically use information provided by market makers or estimates of market values obtained from yield data relating to investments or securities with similar characteristics. The service providers’ internal models use inputs that are observable such as, among other things, issuer details, interest rates, yield curves, prepayment speeds, credit risks/spreads, default rates and quoted prices for similar assets. Securities that use similar valuation techniques and inputs as described above are categorized as Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.

Rights that are traded on a national securities exchange are valued at the last reported sales price at the close of regular trading on each day the exchange is open. A right is a privilege offered by a corporation to its shareholders pro rata to subscribe to a certain security at a specified price, often for a short period. Rights may or may not be transferable.

The Funds may enter into mortgage dollar roll transactions in which the Funds sell a mortgage-backed security to a counterparty and simultaneously enter into an agreement with the same counterparty to buy back a similar security on a specific future date at a predetermined price. Risks may arise due to the delayed payment date and the potential inability of counterparties to complete the transaction. Mortgage dollar rolls are accounted for as purchase and sale transactions, which may increase a Fund’s portfolio turnover rate.

Mortgage and asset-backed securities are usually issued as separate tranches, or classes, of securities within each package of underlying securities. These securities are also normally valued by pricing service providers that use broker-dealer quotations or valuation estimates from their internal pricing models. The pricing models for these securities usually consider tranche level attributes, estimated cash flows and market-based yield spreads for each tranche, and current market data and incorporate packaged collateral performance, as available. Mortgage and asset-backed securities that use such valuation techniques and inputs are categorized as Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.

101

Brandes Investment Trust

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — (continued)

Repurchase agreements and demand notes, for which neither vendor pricing nor market maker prices are available, are valued at amortized cost on the day of valuation, unless Brandes Investment Partners, L.P. (the “Advisor”) determines that the use of amortized cost valuation on such day is not appropriate (in which case such instrument is fair valued in accordance with the fair value procedures of the Trust).

Certain securities may be fair valued in accordance with the fair valuation procedures approved by the Board of Trustees. The Valuation Committee is generally responsible for overseeing the day-to-day valuation processes and reports periodically to the Board. The Valuation Committee is authorized to make all necessary determinations of the fair value of portfolio securities and other assets for which market quotations are not readily available or if it is deemed that the prices obtained from brokers and dealers or independent pricing services are unreliable. The securities fair valued by the Valuation Committee are indicated in the Schedules of Investments and are categorized as Level 2 or Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy. Certain vendor priced securities may also be considered Level 3 if significant unobservable inputs are used by the vendors.

In using fair value pricing, each Fund attempts to establish the price that it might reasonably have expected to receive upon a sale of the security at 4:00 p.m. Eastern time. Valuing securities at fair value involves greater reliance on judgment than valuation of securities based on readily available market quotations. A Fund using fair value to price securities may value those securities higher or lower than another fund using market quotations or fair value to price the same securities. Further, there can be no assurance that the Fund could obtain the fair value assigned to a security if it were to sell the security at approximately the time at which the Fund determines its net asset value.

The following is a summary of the level inputs used, as of March 31, 2019, involving the Funds’ assets carried at fair value. The inputs used for valuing securities may not be an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities.

Brandes Investment Trust

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — (continued)

$5.0 billion, and 0.70% of the average daily net assets greater than $5.0 billion, of the International Fund. The Advisor received a monthly fee at the annual rate of 0.95% of the first $2.5 billion of average daily net assets, 0.90% on average daily net assets from $2.5 billion to $5.0 billion, and 0.85% of the amount of average daily net assets greater than $5.0 billion, of the Emerging Markets Fund. The Advisor received a monthly fee at the annual rate of 0.95% of the first $1.0 billion of average daily net assets, and 0.90% of the average daily net assets greater than $1.0 billion, of the International Small Cap Fund. The Global Fund, Global Income Fund, Global Opportunities Fund, Small Cap Value Fund and Core Plus Fund incurred a monthly fee at the annual rate of 0.80%, 0.80%, 0.95%, 0.70% and 0.35% based upon their average daily net assets, respectively. For the six months ended March 31, 2019, the International Fund, the Global Fund, the Global Income Fund, the Global Opportunities Fund, the Emerging Markets Fund, the International Small Cap Fund, the Small Cap Value Fund and the Core Plus Fund incurred $2,928,827, $223,006, $5,229, $95,026, $6,764,107, $3,814,585, $32,244 and $148,616 in advisory fees, respectively.

Certain officers and trustees of the Trust are also officers of the Advisor.

The Funds are responsible for their own operating expenses. The Advisor has contractually agreed to limit each Fund’s annual operating expenses, including repayment of previous waivers, to the following percentages of the Fund’s average daily net assets attributable to the specific classes through January 31, 2020 (the “Expense Cap Agreement”):

Fund	Class A			Class C			Class I			Class R6
International Fund		1.20	%		1.95	%		1.00	%		0.82	%
Global Fund		1.25	%		2.00	%		1.00	%		0.82	%*
Global Income Fund		1.25	%		2.00	%		1.00	%		0.82	%*
Global Opportunities Fund		1.40	%		2.15	%		1.15	%		0.97	%*
Emerging Markets Fund		1.37	%		2.12	%		1.12	%		0.97	%
International Small Cap Fund		1.40	%		2.15	%		1.15	%		1.00	%
Small Cap Value Fund		1.15	%		N/A			0.90	%		0.72	%
Core Plus Fund		0.70	%		N/A			0.50	%		0.35	%

* These classes are not active

The Funds may incur additional expenses not covered under the Expense Cap Agreement. These expenses include acquired fund fees and expenses, taxes, interest, broker commissions, and proxy expenses or other extraordinary expenses.

Any reimbursements of fee waivers made by the Advisor to a Fund are subject to repayment by the Fund, to the extent that the Fund is able to make the repayment within the expense limit specified in its Expense Cap Agreement. Under the Expense Cap Agreement that was in place during the period covered by this report, any such repayment must be made

Brandes Investment Trust

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — (continued)

before the end of the thirty-six months after the month in which the related reimbursement or waiver occurred. The Trust has agreed to repay the expense reimbursement to the Adviser. However, the repayment of previously waived expenses is limited to amounts that do not cause the aggregate operating expenses of the Fund to exceed the current expense cap or the expense cap in place at the time the waiver was generated. For the six months ended March 31, 2019, the Advisor waived expenses and/or reimbursed the Funds $12,041, $83,490, $81,880, $107,050, $175,367, $60,862, $102,161 and $100,703 for the International Fund, Global Fund, Global Income Fund, Global Opportunities Fund, Emerging Markets Fund, International Small Cap Fund, Small Cap Value Fund and Core Plus Fund, respectively. Potential recovery amounts expire through the following periods:

NOTE 6 – FEDERAL INCOME TAX MATTERS

GAAP requires that certain components of net assets be reclassified between financial and tax reporting. Temporary differences do not require reclassification. Temporary and permanent differences have no effect on net assets or net asset value per share. For the year ended September 30, 2018, the Funds made the following permanent book-to-tax reclassifications primarily related to the treatment of foreign currency transactions, passive foreign investment companies, paydowns and difference between book and tax accretion methods for market premium:

	Undistributed Net Investment Income/(Loss)			Accumulated Net Realized Gain/(Loss)			Paid-In Capital

NOTE 7 – OFFERING PRICE PER SHARE

The public offering price for Class A shares is the net asset value per share plus a sales charge, which varies in accordance with the amount of the purchase up to a maximum of 5.75% for the International, Global, Global Income, Global Opportunities, Emerging Markets, International Small Cap and Small Cap Value Funds, and 3.75% for the Core Plus Fund. A contingent deferred sales charge (“CDSC”) of 1.00% will be deducted with respect to Class A shares purchased without a sales load and redeemed within 12 months of purchase, unless waived, as discussed in the Prospectus. Any applicable CDSC will be 1.00% of the lesser of the original purchase price or the redemption value of the Class A shares redeemed. Class C shares include a 1.00% CDSC paid by redeeming shareholders within 12 months of purchase. As a result the redemption price may differ from the net asset value per share. The public offering prices for I shares are the respective net asset values. Sales charges are not an expense of the Funds and are not reflected in the financial statements of the Funds.

NOTE 10 – IN-KIND TRANSACTIONS

Affiliated Transactions

On January 2, 2018, the Advisor transferred all securities, through a reorganization, from an affiliated private investment fund to create the Small Cap Value Fund. The Fund received securities with a value of $4,432,969. Prior to January 2, 2018, the Advisor managed the affiliated private investment fund which had an investment objective and investment policies and strategies that were, in all material respects, equivalent to those of the Small Cap Value Fund. Through this transfer, the affiliated private investment fund was closed.

On March 15, 2018, a shareholder transferred securities from an affiliated separately managed account into the Small Cap Value Fund through an in-kind purchase. The Fund received securities with a value of $3,699,813.

The total value of these two transactions was $8,132,782, which is shown on the Statement of Changes in Net Assets. Of the $8,132,782 transferred, $8,051,136 were considered long-term purchases.

NOTE 11 – NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

In August 2018, FASB issued ASU 2018-13, Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820): Disclosure Framework – Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurement (“ASU 2018-13”). The primary focus of ASU 2018-13 is to improve the effectiveness of the disclosure requirements for fair value measurements. The changes affect all companies that are required to include fair value measurement disclosures. In general, the amendments in ASU 2018-13 are effective for all entities for fiscal years and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2019. An entity is permitted to early adopt the removed or modified disclosures upon the issuance of ASU 2018-13 and may delay adoption of the additional disclosures, which are required for public companies only, until their effective date. Management has chosen to adopt this disclosure in this report.

In August 2018, the Securities and Exchange Commission issued Final Rule Release No. 33-10532, Disclosure Update and Simplification, which in part amends certain disclosure requirements of Regulation S-X that have become redundant, duplicative, overlapping, outdated, or superseded, in light of other

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — (continued)

Commission disclosure requirements, U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles, or changes in the information environment. The amendments are intended to facilitate the disclosure of information to investors and simplify compliance without significantly altering the total mix of information provided to investors. Management has chosen to adopt this disclosure in this report.

NOTE 12 – SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

In preparing these financial statements, the Trust has evaluated events and transactions for potential recognition or disclosure through the date the financial statements were available to be issued. The Board of Trustees, based on the recommendation of the Advisor, approved a plan of liquidation of the Global Opportunities Fund providing for liquidation of the Fund on or around June 28, 2019.

BOARD CONSIDERATION AND CONTINUATION OF INVESTMENT ADVISORY AGREEMENT

In November 2018, the Board of Trustees of the Trust, including the independent Trustees, unanimously approved renewal of the Investment Advisory Agreement (the “Agreement”) between the Trust and Brandes Investment Partners, L.P. (the “Advisor”) for an additional one-year term with respect to the Brandes International Equity Fund, the Brandes Global Equity Fund, the Brandes Global Equity Income Fund, the Brandes Global Opportunities Value Fund, the Brandes Emerging Markets Value Fund, the Brandes International Small Cap Equity Fund, the Brandes Core Plus Fixed Income Fund and the Brandes Small Cap Value Fund. Each of these is referred to below as a “Fund” and they are collectively referred to as the “Funds.”

Information Reviewed

During the course of each year, Board members review a wide variety of materials relating to the nature, extent and quality of the services provided by the Advisor to the Funds, including reports on each Fund’s investment results, portfolio composition, portfolio trading practices, and other matters. In addition, in connection with its annual review of the Agreement with respect to the Funds, the Board requested and reviewed supplementary information that included materials regarding the Funds’ investment results, advisory fees and expense comparisons for peer groups and categories of similar funds identified by Morningstar Associates (“Morningstar”); financial and profitability information regarding the Advisor; the methods used by the Advisor to evaluate and compensate its professional investment personnel; descriptions of various functions performed by the Advisor on behalf of the Trust such as compliance monitoring and portfolio trading practices; and information about^- the personnel providing investment management and administrative services to the Funds.

In connection with its reviews, the Board received assistance and advice regarding legal and industry standards from counsel to the Trust and the independent Trustees. The independent Trustees discussed the approval of the Agreement with respect to each Fund with representatives of the Advisor at two Board meetings and in private sessions with counsel at which no representatives of the Advisor were present. In deciding to recommend approval of the Agreement with respect to each Fund, the Board and the independent Trustees did not identify any single or particular piece of information that, in isolation, was the controlling factor, and each Trustee did not necessarily attribute the same weight to each factor. This summary describes the most important, but not all, of the factors considered by the Board and the independent Trustees.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION — (Unaudited) (continued)

Nature, Extent and Quality of Services

With respect to the nature, extent and quality of services provided by the Advisor to the Funds, the Trustees reviewed among other things the quality and depth of the Advisor’s investment management staff, its regulatory compliance resources and program, its business continuity and cyber-security programs, the day-to-day administrative services provided by the Advisor to the Funds, and the investment results of the Funds.

With respect to each Fund’s investment results, the Trustees reviewed detailed information regarding a peer group of similarly managed funds selected by Morningstar, all of the funds in the larger Morningstar category of funds managed with the same general style, and the Fund’s benchmark index. The Trustees also discussed with representatives of Morningstar the principles used in determining the Funds’ peer groups and categories, and differences in those groups from those presented by Morningstar in connection with the Trustees’ 2017 review of the Agreement. In addition, they reviewed the results of certain funds considered by the Advisor to be the most direct competitors to the Funds in the Funds’ marketing channels.

The independent Trustees noted that for the one-year, three-year, five-year and ten-year periods ended September 30, 2018, the investment results of the I Class shares of all of the Funds were mixed versus the funds in their respective peer groups and categories, as well as versus their benchmarks. In addition, the Trustees noted the following:

• The International Equity Fund’s results were in the first quartile versus Morningstar Foreign Large Value peers for all periods; in the first quartile versus the category for the one-year and five-year periods, the second quartile for the three-year period and the third quartile for the ten-year period; and ahead of its benchmark for the one-year and five-year periods and behind for the three-year and ten-year periods.

• The Global Equity Fund’s results were in the third quartile versus Morningstar World Large Stock peers for the one-year period and in the fourth quartile for the three-year and five-year periods; in the fourth quartile versus the category for all periods; and behind the benchmark for all periods.

• The Global Equity Income Fund’s results were in the fourth quartile versus Morningstar World Large Stock peers for the one-year period and in the first quartile for the three-year period; in the fourth quartile versus the category for the one-year period and the third quartile for the three-year period; and behind the benchmark for all periods.

• The Global Opportunities Value Fund’s results were in the fourth quartile versus Morningstar Foreign Large Value peers for the one-year period and

119

Brandes Investment Trust

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION — (Unaudited) (continued)

in the third quartile for the three-year period; in the fourth quartile versus the category for the one-year period and the second quartile for the three-year period; and behind the benchmark for all periods.

• The Emerging Markets Value Fund’s results were in the fourth quartile versus Morningstar Diversified Emerging Markets peers for the one-year and five-year periods and in the second quartile for the three-year period; in the fourth quartile versus the category for the one-year and five-year periods and the first quartile for the three-year period; and behind the benchmark for the one-year and five-year periods and ahead for the three-year period.

• The International Small Cap Equity Fund’s results were in the fourth quartile versus Morningstar Foreign Small/Mid Value peers for the one-year, three-year and five-year periods; in the fourth quartile versus the category for all periods; and behind the benchmark for all periods. The independent Trustees noted the impact of the Fund’s investment results of its significant cash position, which related to the Advisor’s assessment of available investment opportunities meeting its value investment criteria.

• The Core Plus Fixed Income Fund’s results were in the second quartile versus Morningstar Intermediate-Term Bond peers for the one-year period and in the third quartile for all other periods; in the second quartile versus the category for the one-year and ten-year periods and in the third quartile for the three-year and five-year periods; and ahead of the benchmark for all periods.

• The Small Cap Value Fund had less than a full year of investment results as a registered investment company.

In evaluating the Funds’ performance, the independent Trustees generally considered long-term results to be more important than short-term results; noted the brief operating histories of the Global Equity Income Fund, the Global Opportunities Value Fund and the Small Cap Value Fund; noted the Advisor’s continued commitment to the Graham and Dodd value strategy of investment management and its lack of style drift compared to other value managers; considered that it is not unusual for the performance of funds managed with the long-term Graham and Dodd value strategy to fall below the performance of measurement indices for some periods; noted the Advisor’s observations regarding the unfavorable market for value investments in recent years; and further noted that the Funds investment approach is fully described in its prospectus and the Fund’s shareholders likely were willing to accept the long-term outlook associated with the Advisor’s approach.

Based on these discussions and reviews, the Trustees determined that under all the circumstances the investment results of the Funds were sufficient for renewal of the Agreement.

Advisory Fees, Total Expenses, Profitability and Ancillary Benefits

With respect to advisory fees and total expenses of the Funds, the independent Trustees noted that:

• The advisory fees for all of the Funds were at or near the median fees in their respective Morningstar peer groups. They also observed that the total fees and expenses actually paid by all of the Funds, after waivers by the Advisor of expenses above stated expense caps, were below or near the median fees and expenses paid by the funds in their respective Morningstar peer groups. The independent Trustees noted that the Advisor continues to waive any expenses over stated expense caps for the Funds.

• Although the Advisor’s management fee is higher for the Funds than for its comparable institutional accounts, the independent Trustees noted information provided by the Advisor regarding the additional responsibilities and expenses that the Advisor incurs in sponsoring and operating the Funds.

• The independent Trustees acknowledged the Advisor’s agreement to add a breakpoint to the advisory fee schedule for the International Small Cap Fund, which agreement had resulted from discussions with the Advisor last year.

• The independent Trustees noted that the Advisor’s fees for the Funds other than the International Equity, International Small Cap and Emerging Markets Funds do not have breakpoints as those Funds’ assets increase. They noted that the Advisor believes that it is premature to discuss economies of scale when it is subsidizing the other Funds’ expenses, but had agreed to review the nature and extent of’ any economies of scale that it may realize as the Funds’ assets increase in the future and how such economies would be shared with the Funds’ shareholders.

In addition, the independent Trustees reviewed an analysis of the profitability to the Advisor of its relationship with the Funds and information regarding the Advisor’s financial capability to continue to provide services to the Funds in the future. They also reviewed the methods used by the Advisor to evaluate and compensate its professional investment personnel. Finally, they considered ancillary benefits to the Advisor as a result of its relationships with the Funds. They noted that these were primarily related to the benefit of proprietary and third-party research provided by broker-dealers executing portfolio transactions on behalf of the Funds.

Conclusions

Based on their review, including consideration of each of the factors referred to above, the Board and the independent Trustees concluded that the Agreement is fair and reasonable to the Funds and their respective shareholders, that each of the factors discussed above supported renewal of the Agreement with respect to each of the Funds, and that renewal of the Agreement was in the best interests of each Fund and its shareholders.

Brandes Separately Managed Account Reserve Trust

Dear Fellow Investor,

The net asset value of the Brandes Separately Managed Account Reserve Trust Fund gained 2.26% in the six months ending March 31, 2019. For the same period, the Bloomberg Barclays Aggregate Bond Index increased 4.63%.

Portfolio holdings in select corporate bonds detracted from performance.

Within corporate bonds holdings in Metals & Mining (Cloud Peak Energy), Telecommunications (Frontier Communications Corp.) and Banks & Thrifts (USB Capital IX) detracted from performance.

An underweight to U.S. agency mortgage-backed securities (MBS) was a positive performance factor, while duration positioning detracted from returns.

At the close of the period, the Fund continues to favor short maturity corporate bonds and those that we believe exhibit strong, tangible asset coverage. The Fund is underweight agency MBS. The duration is positioned toward the shorter end of our duration-controlled range. The Fund has a high allocation, relative to the benchmark, to U.S. Treasuries that we will look to redeploy thoughtfully and efficiently — if and when market uncertainty and volatility cause credit fundamentals to become mispriced from our estimates of intrinsic value.

In the 45-plus years since Brandes Investment Partners was founded, our goal has remained the same: pursue above-market gains to help you move closer to your long-term investment objectives. We believe that our unwavering commitment to value investing will lead us to attractively priced, fundamentally sound companies worthy of inclusion in the fund.

Sincerely Yours,

The Brandes Fixed Income Investment Committee

Brandes Investment Trust

Because the values of the Fund’s investments will fluctuate with market conditions, so will the value of your investment in the Fund. You could lose money on your investment in the Fund, or the Fund could underperform other investments. The values of the Fund’s investments fluctuate in response to the activities of individual companies and general stock market and economic conditions. In addition, the performance of foreign securities depends on the political and economic environments and other overall economic conditions in the countries where the Fund invests. Emerging country markets involve greater risk and volatility than more developed markets. Some emerging markets countries may have fixed or managed currencies that are not free-floating against the U.S. dollar. Certain of these currencies have experienced, and may experience in the future, substantial fluctuations or a steady devaluation relative to the U.S. dollar. It is not possible to invest directly in an index.

2

Brandes Separately Managed Account Reserve Trust

As with most fixed income funds, the income on and value of your shares in the Fund will fluctuate along with interest rates. When interest rates rise, the market prices of the debt securities the Fund owns usually decline. When interest rates fall, the prices of these securities usually increase. Generally, the longer the Fund’s average portfolio maturity and the lower the average quality of its portfolio, the greater the price fluctuation. The price of any security owned by the Fund may also fall in response to events affecting the issuer of the security, such as its ability to continue to make principal and interest payments or its credit rating. Below investment grade debt securities are speculative and involve a greater risk of default and price change due to changes in the issuer’s creditworthiness. The market prices of these debt securities may fluctuate more than the market prices of investment grade debt securities and may decline significantly in periods of general economic difficulty.

Asset coverage:  Assets available to cover debt obligations after all other liabilities have been satisfied.

Duration:  The weighted maturity of a fixed-income investment’s cash flows, used in the estimation of the price sensitivity of fixed-income securities for a given change in interest rates.

Please refer to the Schedule of Investments in the report for complete holdings information. Fund holdings, geographic allocations and/or sector allocations are subject to change at any time and are not a recommendation to buy or sell any security.

Expense Example (Unaudited)

As a shareholder of the Fund, you incur ongoing costs, including investment advisory and administrative fees and other Fund expenses. The example below is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds. Note that for this Fund, which is used in wrap-fee programs, fees and expenses are paid at the wrap account level rather than the Fund level.

The example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period from October 1, 2018 to March 31, 2019 (the “Period”).

Actual Expenses

This section provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. The “Ending Account Value” shown is derived from the Fund’s actual returns. You may use the information in this section, 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 given for the Fund under the heading “Expenses Paid During Period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.

Fund	Beginning Account Value		Ending Account Value		Annual Expense Ratio		Expenses Paid During the Period*
Separately Managed Account Reserve Trust**	$	1,000.00	$	1,022.60		0.00%	$	0.00

* The Fund’s expenses are equal to the Fund’s expense ratio for the period, multiplied by the average account value over the period, multiplied by 182/365 (to reflect the one half-year period).

** No expenses have been charged to the Brandes Separately Managed Account Reserve Trust (“SMART Fund”) over the period, as the SMART Fund participates in a wrap-fee program sponsored by investment advisors unaffiliated with the SMART Fund. See Note 3 to the Financial Statements. Fees and expenses are charged at the wrap account level.

Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes

This section 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 Fund and other mutual funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other mutual funds.

Brandes Separately Managed Account Reserve Trust

Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transaction costs, such as brokerage commissions on purchase and sales of Fund shares. Therefore, the last column of the table 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.

Fund	Beginning Account Value		Ending Account Value		Annual Expense Ratio		Expenses Paid During the Period*
Separately Managed Account Reserve Trust**	$	1,000.00	$	1,024.93		0.00%	$	0.00

* The Fund’s expenses are equal to the Fund’s expense ratio for the period, multiplied by the average account value over the period, multiplied by 182/365 (to reflect the one half-year period).

** No expenses have been charged to the Brandes Separately Managed Account Reserve Trust (“SMART Fund”) over the period, as the SMART Fund participates in a wrap-fee program sponsored by investment advisors unaffiliated with the SMART Fund. See Note 3 to the Financial Statements. Fees and expenses are charged at the wrap account level.

Brandes Separately Managed Account Reserve Trust

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

NOTE 1 – ORGANIZATION

The Separately Managed Account Reserve Trust (the “Fund”) is a series of Brandes Investment Trust (the “Trust”). The Trust is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”), as a diversified, open-end management investment company. The Fund began operations on October 3, 2005. The Fund invests its assets primarily in debt securities and seeks to maximize total return.

NOTE 2 – SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The Fund is an investment company that applies the accounting and reporting guidance issued in Topic 946, “Financial Services-Investment Companies”, by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”). The following is a summary of significant accounting policies consistently followed by the Fund. These policies are in conformity with accounting principles (“GAAP”) generally accepted in the United States of America.

A. Repurchase Agreements.  The Fund may enter into repurchase agreements with government securities dealers recognized by the Federal Reserve Board, with member banks of the Federal Reserve System or with other brokers or dealers that meet the credit guidelines established by the Board of Trustees. The Fund will always receive and maintain, as collateral, securities whose market value, including accrued interest (which is recorded in the Schedule of Investments), will be at least equal to 100% of the dollar amount invested by the Fund in each agreement, and the Fund will make payment for such securities only upon physical delivery or upon evidence of book entry transfer to the account of the Fund’s custodian. If the term of any repurchase transaction exceeds one business day, the value of the Fund’s collateral is marked-to-market on a daily basis to ensure the adequacy of the collateral. Before causing the Fund to enter into a repurchase agreement with any other party, the investment advisor will determine that such party does not have any apparent risk of becoming involved in bankruptcy proceedings within the time frame contemplated by the repurchase agreement. If the seller defaults and the value of the collateral declines, or if bankruptcy proceedings are commenced with respect to the seller of the security, realization of the collateral by the Fund may be delayed or limited. At March 31, 2019, the Fund’s ongoing exposure to the economic return on repurchase agreements is shown on the Schedule of Investments.

B. Foreign Currency Translation and Transactions.  Values of investments denominated in foreign currencies are converted into U.S. dollars using the spot market rates of exchange at the time of valuation. Purchases and sales of investments and dividend and interest income are translated into U.S. dollars using the spot market rates of exchange prevailing on the

16

Brandes Separately Managed Account Reserve Trust

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)

respective dates of such translations. The gain or loss resulting from changes in foreign exchange rates is included with net realized and unrealized gain or loss from investments, as appropriate. Foreign securities and currency transactions may involve certain considerations and risks not typically associated with those of domestic origin.

Foreign securities are recorded in the financial statements after translation to U.S. dollars based on the applicable exchange rate at the end of the period. The Fund reports certain foreign currency-related transactions as components of realized gains or losses for financial reporting purposes, whereas such components are treated as ordinary income for federal income tax purposes.

C. Delayed Delivery Securities.  The Fund may purchase securities on a when-issued or delayed delivery basis. “When-issued” or delayed delivery refers to securities whose terms are available and for which a market exists, but that have not been issued. For a when-issued or delayed delivery transaction, no payment is made until delivery date, which is typically longer than the normal course of settlement. When the Fund enters into an agreement to purchase securities on a when-issued or delayed delivery basis, the Fund segregates cash or liquid securities, of any type or maturity, equal in value to the Fund’s commitment. Losses may arise if the market values of the underlying securities change, if the counterparty does not perform under the contract, or if the issuer does not issue the securities due to political, economic or other factors. The Fund did not have any open commitments on delayed delivery securities as of March 31, 2019.

D. Security Transactions, Dividends and Distributions.  Security transactions are accounted for on the trade dates. Realized gains and losses are evaluated on the basis of identified costs. Distributions from net investment income are declared daily and paid monthly. Distributions of net realized gains, if any, are declared at least annually. Dividend income and distributions to shareholders are recorded on the ex-dividend dates. Interest is recorded on an accrual basis. The Fund amortizes premiums and accretes discounts using the constant yield method.

E. Use of Estimates.  The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and reported amounts of income and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

F. Indemnification Obligations.  Under the Trust’s organizational documents, its current and former officers and trustees are indemnified against certain liabilities arising out of the performance of their duties to the Trust. The

17

Brandes Separately Managed Account Reserve Trust

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)

Trust has indemnified its trustees against any expenses actually and reasonably incurred by the trustees in any proceeding arising out of or in connection with the trustees’ service to the Trust. In addition, in the normal course of business, the Trust enters into contracts that contain a variety of representations and warranties and provide general indemnifications. The Fund’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Fund that have not yet occurred or that would be covered by other parties.

G. Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes.  The Fund has elected to be taxed as a “regulated investment company” and intends to distribute substantially all its taxable income to its shareholders and otherwise comply with the provisions of the Internal Revenue Code applicable to regulated investment companies. The Fund may be subject to a nondeductible excise tax calculated as a percentage of certain undistributed amounts of net investment income and net capital gains. The Fund intends to distribute its net investment income and capital gains as necessary to avoid this excise tax. Therefore, no provision for federal income taxes or excise taxes has been made.

The Trust analyzes all open tax years, as defined by the applicable statute of limitations, for all major jurisdictions. Open tax years for the Fund are those that are open for exam by taxing authorities (2015 through 2018). As of March 31, 2019, the Trust has no examinations in progress.

Management has analyzed the Trust’s tax positions, and has concluded that no liability should be recorded related to uncertain tax positions expected to be taken on the tax return for the fiscal year-end September 30, 2018.

The Trust identifies its major tax jurisdictions as the U.S. Government and the State of California. The Trust is not aware of any tax positions for which it is reasonably possible that the total amounts of unrecognized tax benefits will significantly change in the next twelve months.

H. Fair Value Measurements.  The Trust has adopted GAAP accounting principles related to fair value accounting standards which establish a definition of fair value and set out a hierarchy for measuring fair value. These standards require additional disclosures about the various inputs and valuation techniques used to develop the measurements of fair value and a discussion of changes in valuation techniques and related inputs during the period. These inputs are summarized in the three broad levels listed below:

Level 1 — Fair value measurement within Level 1 should be based on an unadjusted quoted price in an active market that the Fund has the ability to access for the asset or liability at the measurement date. Because a quoted price alone forms the basis for the measurement, the access

18

Brandes Separately Managed Account Reserve Trust

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)

requirement within Level 1 limits discretion in pricing the asset or liability, including in situations in which there are multiple markets for the asset or liability with different prices and no single market represents a principal market for the asset or liability. Importantly, the Financial Accounting Standards Board has indicated that when a quoted price in an active market for a security is available, that price should be used to measure fair value without regard to an entity’s intent to transact at that price.

Level 2 — Fair value measurement within Level 2 should be based on all inputs other than unadjusted quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability. Other significant observable market inputs include quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets, quoted adjusted prices in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active, and model-derived valuations in which the majority of significant inputs and significant value drivers are observable in active markets.

Level 3 — Fair value measurement within Level 3 should be based on unobservable inputs in such cases where markets do not exist or are illiquid. Significant unobservable inputs include model derived valuations in which the majority of significant inputs or significant value drivers are unobservable. Unobservable inputs are those inputs that reflect the Fund’s own assumptions that market participants would use to price the asset or liability based on the best available information.

I. Security Valuation.  Bonds and other fixed-income securities (other than repurchase agreements and demand notes) are valued using the bid price on the day of the valuation provided by an independent pricing service.

Securities traded on a national securities exchange are valued at the last reported sale price at the close of regular trading on each day the exchange is open for trading. Securities listed on the NASDAQ National Market System for which market quotations are readily available are valued using the NASDAQ Official Closing Price. Securities traded on an exchange for which there has been no sales on the valuation date are valued at the mean between last bid and ask price on such day. Securities for which quotations are not readily available are valued at their respective fair values as determined in good faith pursuant to procedures adopted by the Board of Trustees.

Repurchase agreements and demand notes, for which neither vendor pricing nor market maker prices are available, are valued at amortized cost on the day of valuation, unless Brandes Investment Partners, L.P. (the “Advisor”) determines that the use of amortized cost valuation on such day is not appropriate (in which case such instrument is fair valued in accordance with the fair value procedures of the Trust).

19

Brandes Separately Managed Account Reserve Trust

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)

The Trust has adopted valuation procedures that allow for fair value pricing for use in appropriate circumstances. For example, such circumstances may arise when trading in a security has been halted or suspended or a security has been delisted from a national exchange, a security has not been traded for an extended period of time, or a significant event with respect to a security occurs after the close of the market or exchange on which the security principally trades and before the time the Fund calculates its own share price. If no price, or in the Advisor’s determination no price representing fair value, is provided for a security held by the Fund by an independent pricing agent, then the security will be fair valued. Thinly traded securities and certain foreign securities may be impacted more by the use of fair valuations than other securities.

In using fair value pricing, the Fund attempts to establish the price that it might reasonably have expected to receive upon a sale of the security at 4:00 p.m. Eastern time. Valuing securities at fair value involves greater reliance on judgment than valuation of securities based on readily available market quotations. When using fair value to price securities, the Fund may value those securities higher or lower than another fund using market quotations or fair value to price the same securities. Further, there can be no assurance that the Fund could obtain the fair value assigned to a security if it were to sell the security at approximately the time at which the Fund determines its net asset value.

Foreign securities are recorded in the financial statements after translation to U.S. dollars based on the applicable exchange rate at the end of the period. The Fund reports certain foreign currency-related transactions as components of realized gains or losses for financial reporting purposes, whereas such components are treated as ordinary income for federal income tax purposes.

Fixed income securities including corporate, convertible and municipal bonds and notes, U.S. government agencies, U.S. Treasury obligations, sovereign issues, bank loans, convertible preferred securities and non-U.S. bonds are normally valued on the basis of quotes obtained from brokers and dealers or independent pricing services or sources. Independent pricing services typically use information provided by market makers or estimates of market values obtained from yield data relating to investments or securities with similar characteristics. The service providers’ internal models use inputs that are observable such as, among other things, issuer details, interest rates, yield curves, prepayment speeds, credit risks/spreads, default rates and quoted prices for similar assets. Securities that use similar valuation techniques and inputs as described above are categorized as Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.

20

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)

Fixed income securities purchased on a delayed-delivery basis are typically marked to market daily until settlement at the forward settlement date.

The Fund may enter into mortgage dollar roll transactions in which the Fund sells a mortgage-backed security to a counterparty and simultaneously enters into an agreement with the same counterparty to buy back a similar security on a specific future date at a predetermined price. Risks may arise due to the delayed payment date and the potential inability of counterparties to complete the transaction. Mortgage dollar rolls are accounted for as purchase and sale transactions, which may increase the Fund’s portfolio turnover rate.

Mortgage and asset-backed securities are usually issued as separate tranches, or classes, of securities within each package of underlying securities. These securities are also normally valued by pricing service providers that use broker-dealer quotations or valuation estimates from their internal pricing models. The pricing models for these securities usually consider tranche level attributes, estimated cash flows and market-based yield spreads for each tranche, current market data and packaged collateral performance, as available. Mortgage and asset-backed securities that use such valuation techniques and inputs are categorized as Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy only if there are significant observable inputs used.

Common stocks, exchange-traded fund shares and financial derivative instruments, such as futures contracts or options contracts that are traded on a national securities or commodities exchange, are valued at the last reported sales price, in the case of common stocks and exchange-traded fund shares, or, in the case of futures contracts or options contracts, the settlement price determined by the relevant exchange. To the extent these securities are actively traded and valuation adjustments are not applied, they are categorized as Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy.

Valuation adjustments may be applied to certain securities that are solely traded on a foreign exchange to account for the market movement between the close of the foreign market and the close of the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”). These securities are generally valued using pricing service providers that consider the correlation of the trading patterns of the foreign security to the intraday trading in the U.S. markets for investments. Securities using these valuation adjustments are categorized as Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy. None of the Fund’s securities were fair valued utilizing this method as of March 31, 2019.

Investments in registered open-end management investment companies are valued based upon the Net Asset Values (“NAVs”) of such investments and are categorized as Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy. If, on a particular day, a share price of an investment company is not readily

21

Brandes Separately Managed Account Reserve Trust

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)

available, such securities are fair valued in accordance with the fair value procedures of the Trust.

Certain securities may be fair valued in accordance with the fair valuation procedures approved by the Board of Trustees. The Valuation Committee is generally responsible for overseeing the day to day valuation processes and reports periodically to the Board. The Valuation Committee is authorized to make all necessary determinations of the fair value of portfolio securities and other assets for which market quotations are not readily available or if it is deemed that the prices obtained from brokers and dealers or independent pricing services are unreliable.

The following is a summary of the inputs used, as of March 31, 2019, involving the Fund’s assets carried at fair value. The inputs of methodology used for valuing securities may not be an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities.

NOTE 3 – INVESTMENT ADVISORY FEE AND OTHER TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES

A. Advisor Fee.  The Advisor provides the Fund with investment management services under an Investment Advisory Agreement. The Advisor receives no advisory fee or other fee from the Fund. The financial statements of the Fund reflect the fact that no fees or expenses are incurred by the Fund. It should be understood, however, that the Fund is an integral part of “wrap-fee” programs sponsored by investment advisors unaffiliated with the Fund and the Advisor. Typically, participants in these programs pay a “wrap-fee” to their investment advisors. Although the Fund does not compensate the Advisor directly for its service under the Investment Advisory Agreement, the Advisor benefits from its relationships with the sponsors of wrap-fee programs for which the Fund is an investment option. Certain officers and Trustees of the Trust are also officers of the Advisor.

22

Brandes Separately Managed Account Reserve Trust

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)

B. Administration Fee.  U.S. Bancorp Fund Services, LLC, doing business as U.S. Bank Global Fund Services, (the “Administrator”) acts as administrator for the Fund. The Administrator prepares various federal and state regulatory filings; prepares reports and materials to be supplied to the Trustees; monitors the activities of the Fund’s custodian, transfer agent and accountant; coordinates the preparation and payment of Fund expenses; and prepares several Fund reports. The Advisor compensates the Administrator on behalf of the Fund for the services the Administrator performs for the Fund.

C. Distribution Fees.  ALPS Distributors, Inc. (the “Distributor”), a registered broker-dealer, acts as the Fund’s principal underwriter in a continuous public offering of the Fund’s shares. All of the Fund’s distribution fees are paid by the Advisor.

NOTE 4 – PURCHASES AND SALES OF SECURITIES

The cost of purchases and the proceeds from sales of securities of the Fund, excluding short-term investments, were as follows for the six months ended March 31, 2019:

U.S. Government				Other
Purchases		Sales		Purchases		Sales
$	17,741,992	$	11,678,086	$	11,437,556	$	23,759,487

NOTE 5 – CAPITAL STOCK TRANSACTIONS

The Fund’s capital stock activity in shares and dollars during the six months ended March 31, 2019 and year ended September 30, 2018, was as follows (shares and dollar amounts in thousands):

	Six Months Ended 3/31/2019						Year Ended 9/30/2018
	Shares			Amount			Shares			Amount
Shares Sold		2,535		$	21,602			3,693		$	32,407

Net Increase/(Decrease) Resulting from Fund Share Transactions		(173	)	$	(1,448	)		650		$	5,767

NOTE 6 – FEDERAL INCOME TAX MATTERS

GAAP requires that certain components of net assets be reclassified between financial and tax reporting. Temporary differences do not require reclassification. Temporary and permanent differences have no effect on net assets or net asset value per share. For the year ended September 30, 2018, the Fund made the following permanent book-to-tax reclassifications primarily related to the treatment

of paydowns, the difference between book and tax accretion methods for market premium and the expiration of capital loss carryforwards:

Undistributed Net Investment Income		Accumulated Net Realized Gain		Paid-In Capital
$	22,654	$	6,062,094	$	(6,084,748	)

As of September 30, 2018, the Fund’s components of distributable earnings on a tax basis were as follows:

Cost of investments for tax purposes	$	182,729,582
Gross tax unrealized appreciation		4,113,287
Gross tax unrealized depreciation		(5,666,441	)
Net unrealized depreciation on investments		(1,553,154	)
Distributable ordinary income		50,508
Distributable long-term capital gains		—
Total distributable earnings		50,508
Other accumulated losses		(8,909,807	)
Total accumulated losses	$	(10,412,453	)

The differences between book and tax basis distributable earnings are primarily related to the differences in classification of paydown gains and losses for tax purposes compared to book purposes. The difference between book and tax basis unrealized depreciation on investments is due primarily to timing differences resulting from wash sale transactions. These differences are temporary.

As of September 30, 2018, the Fund had a capital loss expiring on September 30, 2019 in the amount of $6,501,831. As of September 30, 2018, the Fund had a capital loss with an indefinite expiration in the amount of $2,407,976. At September 30, 2018, the Fund utilized $1,069,670 of capital loss carryforwards. At September 30, 2018, the Fund had $6,084,748 of capital loss carryforwards expire.

The tax compositions of dividends for the years ended September 30, 2018 and September 30, 2017 for the Fund were as follows:

Ordinary Income			Long Term Capital Gains				Return of Capital
2018	2017		2018		2017		2018		2017

NOTE 7 – NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

In August 2018, FASB issued ASU 2018-13, Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820): Disclosure Framework — Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurement (“ASU 2018-13”). The primary focus of ASU 2018-13 is to improve the effectiveness of the disclosure requirements for fair value measurements. The changes affect all companies that are required to include fair value measurement disclosures. In general, the amendments in ASU 2018-13 are effective for all entities for fiscal years and interim periods within those fiscal years,

beginning after December 15, 2019. An entity is permitted to early adopt the removed or modified disclosures upon the issuance of ASU 2018-13 and may delay adoption of the additional disclosures, which are required for public companies only, until their effective date. Management has chosen to adopt this disclosure in this report.

In August 2018, the Securities and Exchange Commission issued Final Rule Release No. 33-10532, Disclosure Update and Simplification, which in part amends certain disclosure requirements of Regulation S-X that have become redundant, duplicative, overlapping, outdated, or superseded, in light of other Commission disclosure requirements, U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles, or changes in the information environment. The amendments are intended to facilitate the disclosure of information to investors and simplify compliance without significantly altering the total mix of information provided to investors. Management has chosen to adopt this disclosure in this report.

NOTE 8 – SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION — (Unaudited)

BOARD CONSIDERATION AND CONTINUATION OF INVESTMENT ADVISORY AGREEMENT

In November 2018 the Board of Trustees of Brandes Investment Trust (the “Trust”), including the independent Trustees, unanimously approved renewal of the Investment Advisory Agreement (the “Agreement”) between the Trust and Brandes Investment Partners, L.P. (the “Advisor”) with respect to the SMART Fund (the “Fund”) for an additional one-year term.

Information Reviewed

During the course of each year, Board members review a wide variety of materials relating to the nature, extent and quality of the services provided to the Fund by the Advisor, including reports on the Fund’s investment results, portfolio composition, portfolio trading practices, and other matters. In addition, in connection with its annual review of the Agreement with respect to the Fund, the Board requested and reviewed supplementary information that included materials regarding the Fund’s investment results, advisory fee and expense comparisons for peer groups and categories of similar funds identified by Morningstar Associates (“Morningstar”); financial and profitability information regarding the Advisor, the methods used by the Advisor to evaluate and compensate its professional investment personnel; descriptions of various functions performed by the Advisor on behalf of the Trust such as compliance monitoring and portfolio trading practices; and information about the personnel providing investment management and administrative services to the Fund.

In connection with its reviews, the Board received assistance and advice regarding legal and industry standards from counsel to the Trust and the independent Trustees. The independent Trustees discussed the approval of the Agreement with respect to the Fund with representatives of the Advisor at two Board meetings and in private sessions with counsel at which no representatives of the Advisor were present. In deciding to recommend approval of the Agreement with respect to the Fund, the Board and the independent Trustees did not identify any single or particular piece of information that, in isolation, was the controlling factor, and each Trustee did not necessarily attribute the same weight to each factor. This summary describes the most important, but not all, of the factors considered by the Board and the independent Trustees.

Nature, Extent and Quality of Services

With respect to the nature, extent and quality of services provided by the Advisor to the Fund, the Trustees reviewed among other things the quality and depth of the Advisor’s investment management staff, its regulatory compliance resources and program, its business continuity and cyber-security programs, the day-to-day administrative services provided by the Advisor to the Fund and the investment results of the Fund.

26

Brandes Separately Managed Account Reserve Trust

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION — (Unaudited) (continued)

With respect to the Fund’s investment results, the Trustees reviewed detailed information regarding a peer group of similarly managed funds selected by Morningstar, all of the funds in the larger Morningstar category of funds managed with the same general style, and the Fund’s benchmark index. The Trustees also discussed with representatives of Morningstar the principles used in determining the Fund’s peer groups and categories, and differences in those groups from those presented by Morningstar in connection with the Trustees’ 2017 review of the Agreement. In addition, they reviewed the results of certain funds considered by the Advisor to be the most direct competitors to the Fund in the Fund’s marketing channels.

The Trustees noted that the Fund’s investment results gross of fees (which are paid by the Advisor) were in the first quartile of the results of a peer group of funds identified by Morningstar for the one-year, three-year, five-year and ten-year periods ended September 30, 2018; were in the same quartile of the larger group of funds in its Morningstar Intermediate-Term Bond Fund category for each of those periods; and were above the Fund’s benchmark index for all such periods. They concluded that the Fund’s performance was sufficient for renewal of the Agreement.

Advisory Fees, Total Expenses, Profitability and Ancillary Benefits

The Trustees noted that the Fund does not incur any advisory fees or other expenses, all of which are paid by the Advisor, and as a result the Advisor’s relationship with the Fund alone is not profitable. The Board also considered ancillary benefits to the Advisor as a result of its relationship with the Fund. They noted that these were primarily related to the Advisor’s receipt of wrap account fees from Fund shareholders through various broker-dealer sponsors that are not affiliated with either the Fund or the Advisor, and the benefit of proprietary and third-party research provided by broker-dealers executing portfolio transactions on behalf of the Fund.

Conclusions

Based on their review, including consideration of each of the factors referred to above, the Board and the independent Trustees concluded that the Agreement is fair and reasonable to the Fund and its shareholders, that each of the factors discussed above supported renewal of the Agreement with respect to the Fund, and that renewal of the Agreement was in the best interests of the Fund and its shareholders.

Brandes Value NextShares

Dear Fellow Investor,

The net asset value of the Brandes Value NextShares declined 2.67% in the six months ending March 31, 2019. For the same period, the S&P 500 Index fell 1.72% while the Russell 1000 Value Index declined 1.19%.

Portfolio holdings in the Pharmaceuticals, Electrical Equipment, Instruments & Components and Media industries were contributors to performance, while holdings in Health Care Providers & Services, Banks and Machinery detracted from returns.

Three of the largest individual contributors to performance were Merck & Co., Inc. (Pharmaceuticals), Flex Ltd. (Electrical Equipment, Instruments & Components) and Comcast Corp. (Media). Briggs & Stratton Corp. (Machinery), Cigna Corp. (Health Care Providers & Services) and CVS Health Corp. (Health Care Providers & Services) were three of the largest detractors from performance.

At the close of the period, the Fund’s largest industry weights were in Banks and Health Care Providers & Services. Please note that while macro conditions are considered when we determine valuation estimates for individual companies, our country and industry weightings are a by-product of bottom-up stock selection, not the result of top-down observations.

In the 45-plus years since Brandes Investment Partners was founded, our goal has remained the same: pursue above-market gains to help you move closer to your long-term investment objectives. We believe that our unwavering commitment to value investing will lead us to attractively priced, fundamentally sound companies worthy of inclusion in the Fund. Thank you for your business and continued trust.

Sincerely yours,

The Brandes Global Large-Cap Investment Committee

Brandes Investment Trust

Because the values of the Fund’s investments will fluctuate with market conditions, so will the value of your investment in the Fund. You could lose money on your investment in the Fund, or the Fund could underperform other investments. The values of the Fund’s investments fluctuate in response to the activities of individual companies and general stock market and economic conditions. Investments in small and medium capitalization companies tend to have limited liquidity and greater price volatility than investments in larger capitalization companies. Value stocks typically are less volatile than growth stocks; however, issues of value stocks typically have a lower expected growth rate in earnings and sales than issues of growth stocks.

Expense Example (Unaudited)

As a shareholder of the Fund, you incur ongoing costs, including investment advisory and administrative fees and other Fund expenses. The example below is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds.

The example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period from October 1, 2018 to March 31, 2019 (the “Period”).

Actual Expenses

This section provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. The “Ending Account Value” shown is derived from the Fund’s actual returns. You may use the information in this section, 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 given for the Fund under the heading “Expenses Paid During Period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.

Fund	Beginning Account Value		Ending Account Value		Annual Expense Ratio		Expenses Paid During the Period*
Value NextShares	$	1,000.00	$	973.30		0.40%	$	1.97

* The Fund’s expenses are equal to the Fund’s expense ratio for the period, multiplied by the average account value over the period, multiplied by 182/365 (to reflect the one half-year period).

Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes

This section 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 Fund and other mutual funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other mutual funds.

Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transaction costs, such as brokerage commissions on purchase and sales of Fund shares. Therefore, the last column of the table 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.

* The Fund’s expenses are equal to the Fund’s expense ratio for the period, multiplied by the average account value over the period, multiplied by 182/365 (to reflect the one half-year period).

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — (Unaudited)

NOTE 1 – ORGANIZATION

Brandes Value NextShares (the “Fund”) is a series of Brandes Investment Trust (the “Trust”). The Trust is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”), as a diversified, open-end management investment company. The Fund is an exchange-traded product actively managed pursuant to an order issued by the Securities and Exchange Commission granting an exemption from certain provisions of the 1940 Act. Individual shares of the Fund may be purchased and sold only on a national securities exchange or alternative trading system through a broker-dealer that offers NextShares, and may not be directly purchased or redeemed from the Fund. Trading prices of shares of the Fund are directly linked to the Fund’s next-computed net asset values per share (“NAVs”) and vary from the NAV by a market-determined trading premium or discount, which may be zero. The Fund began operations on February 15, 2018.

NOTE 2 – SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The Fund is an investment company that applies the accounting and reporting guidance issued in Topic 946, “Financial Services-Investment Companies”, by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”). The following is a summary of significant accounting policies consistently followed by the Fund. These policies are in conformity with accounting principles (“GAAP”) generally accepted in the United States of America.

A. Short-Term Investments.  The Fund may invest from time to time in cash or short-term cash equivalent securities either as part of its overall investment strategy or for temporary defensive purposes in response to adverse market, economic, political or other conditions which in the discretion of Brandes Investment Partners L.P. (the “Advisor”) require investments inconsistent with the Fund’s principal investment strategies. The amount of such holdings will vary and will depend on the Advisor’s assessment of the quantity and quality of investment opportunities that exist at any given time, and may at times be relatively high. Short-term cash equivalent securities include U.S. government securities, certificates of deposit, bankers’ acceptances, repurchase agreements, demand notes and commercial paper. As a result of taking such temporary defensive positions, the Fund may not achieve its investment objectives.

B. Foreign Currency Translation and Transactions.  Values of investments denominated in foreign currencies are converted into U.S. dollars using the spot market rates of exchange at the time of valuation. Purchases and sales of investments and dividend and interest income are translated into U.S. dollars using the spot market rates of exchange prevailing on the respective dates of such translations. The gain or loss resulting from changes in foreign exchange rates is included with net realized and unrealized gain or loss from

16

Brandes Value NextShares

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — (Unaudited) (continued)

investments, as appropriate. Foreign securities and currency transactions may involve certain considerations and risks not typically associated with those of domestic origin.

Foreign securities are recorded in the financial statements after translation to U.S. dollars based on the applicable exchange rate at the end of the period. The Fund reports certain foreign currency-related transactions as components of realized gains or losses for financial reporting purposes, whereas such components are treated as ordinary income for federal income tax purposes.

C. Delayed Delivery Securities.  The Fund may purchase securities on a when- issued or delayed delivery basis. “When-issued” or delayed delivery refers to securities whose terms are available and for which a market exists, but that have not been issued. For a when-issued or delayed delivery transaction, no payment is made until delivery date, which is typically longer than the normal course of settlement. When the Fund enters into an agreement to purchase securities on a when-issued or delayed delivery basis, the Fund segregates cash or liquid securities, of any type or maturity, equal in value to the Fund’s commitment. Losses may arise if the market values of the underlying securities change, if the counterparty does not perform under the contract, or if the issuer does not issue the securities due to political, economic or other factors. The Fund did not have any open commitments on delayed delivery securities as of March 31, 2019.

D. Participatory Notes.  The Fund may invest in participatory notes. Participatory notes are derivative securities which are designed to provide synthetic exposure to one or more underlying securities, subject to the credit risk of the issuing financial institution.

Investments in participatory notes involve risks normally associated with a direct investment in the underlying securities. In addition, participatory notes are subject to counterparty risk, which is the risk that the broker-dealer or bank that issues the notes will not fulfill its contractual obligation to complete the transaction with the Trust. Participatory notes constitute general unsecured, unsubordinated contractual obligations of the banks or broker-dealers that issue them and generally are issued as an actual note from the financial intermediary or an equity linked warrant (commonly known as a low exercise price option). The Trust is relying on the creditworthiness of such banks or broker-dealers and has no rights under a participatory note against the issuer of the securities underlying such participatory note. The investment advisor has established guidelines for monitoring participatory note exposure for the Fund. Prior to investment in a participatory note, the investment advisor will complete an analysis of the prospective counterparties and once purchased, will continue to

17

Brandes Value NextShares

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — (Unaudited) (continued)

monitor creditworthiness on a quarterly basis. The investment advisor requires a minimum credit rating for such counterparties (as determined by rating agencies such as Moody’s, Fitch and S&P) of A.

The Fund records counterparty credit risk valuation adjustments, if material, on the participatory notes in order to appropriately reflect the credit quality of the counterparty.

The Fund did not invest in any participatory notes at March 31, 2019.

E. Investment Transactions, Dividends and Distributions.  Investment transactions are accounted for on the trade dates. Realized gains and losses are evaluated on the basis of identified costs. Dividend income and distributions to shareholders are recorded on the ex-dividend dates. Interest is recorded on an accrual basis. Withholding taxes on foreign dividends and capital gains, which are included as a component of net investment income and realized gain (loss) on investments, respectively, have been provided for in accordance with the Trust’s understanding of the applicable country’s tax rules and rates. Expenses common to the Trust are allocated based upon the Fund’s relative net asset values or other appropriate allocation methods. The Fund amortizes premiums and accretes discounts using the constant yield method.

F. Use of Estimates.  The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and reported amounts of income and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates and assumptions.

G. Securities Lending.  The Fund may lend its portfolio securities to banks, brokers and dealers. Lending Fund securities exposes the Fund to risks such as the following: (i) the borrower may fail to return the loaned securities, (ii) the borrower may not be able to provide additional collateral, or (iii) the Fund may experience delays in recovery of the loaned securities or loss of rights in the collateral if the borrower fails financially.

To minimize these risks, the borrower must agree to maintain collateral with the Fund’s custodian, marked to market daily, in the form of U.S. Government obligations, in an amount at least equal to 102% (105% in the case of loans of foreign securities not denominated in U.S. dollars) of the market value of the loaned securities. As of March 31, 2019, the Fund did not have any securities on loan. Non-cash collateral received by the Fund may not be sold or re-pledged except to satisfy a borrower default. Therefore, non-cash collateral is not included on the Fund’s Schedule of Investments or Statement of Assets and Liabilities.

18

Brandes Value NextShares

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — (Unaudited) (continued)

H. Indemnification Obligations.  Under the Trust’s organizational documents, its current and former officers and trustees are indemnified against certain liabilities arising out of the performance of their duties to the Trust. The Trust has indemnified its trustees against any expenses actually and reasonably incurred by the trustees in any proceeding arising out of or in connection with the trustees’ service to the Trust. In addition, in the normal course of business, the Trust enters into contracts that contain a variety of representations and warranties and provide general indemnifications. The Fund’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Fund that have not yet occurred or that would be covered by other parties.

I. Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes.  The Fund has elected to be taxed as a “regulated investment company” and intends to distribute substantially all its taxable income to its shareholders and otherwise comply with the provisions of the Internal Revenue Code applicable to regulated investment companies. The Fund may be subject to a nondeductible excise tax calculated as a percentage of certain undistributed amounts of net investment income and net capital gains. The Fund intends to distribute its net investment income and capital gains as necessary to avoid this excise tax. Therefore, no provision for federal income taxes or excise taxes has been made.

The Trust analyzes all open tax years, as defined by the applicable statute of limitations, for all major jurisdictions. Open tax years for the Fund are those that are open for exam by taxing authorities (2015 through 2018). The Fund was in existence during the applicable tax year of 2018. As of March 31, 2019, the Trust has no examinations in progress.

Management has analyzed the Trust’s tax positions, and has concluded that no liability should be recorded related to uncertain tax positions expected to be taken on the tax return for the fiscal year-end September 30, 2018.

The Trust identifies its major tax jurisdictions as the U.S. Government and the State of California. The Fund is not aware of any tax positions for which it is reasonably possible that the total amounts of unrecognized tax benefits will significantly change in the next twelve months.

J. Fair Value Measurements.  The Trust has adopted GAAP accounting principles related to fair value accounting standards which establish a definition of fair value and set out a hierarchy for measuring fair value. These standards require additional disclosures about the various inputs and valuation techniques used to develop the measurements of fair value and a

19

Brandes Value NextShares

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — (Unaudited) (continued)

discussion of changes in valuation techniques and related inputs during the period. These inputs are summarized in the three broad levels listed below:

Level 1 — Fair value measurement within Level 1 should be based on an unadjusted quoted price in an active market that the Fund has the ability to access for the asset or liability at the measurement date. Because a quoted price alone forms the basis for the measurement, the access requirement within Level 1 limits discretion in pricing the asset or liability, including in situations in which there are multiple markets for the asset or liability with different prices and no single market represents a principal market for the asset or liability. Importantly, the Financial Accounting Standards Board has indicated that when a quoted price in an active market for a security is available, that price should be used to measure fair value without regard to an entity’s intent to transact at that price.

Level 2 — Fair value measurement within Level 2 should be based on all inputs other than unadjusted quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability. Other significant observable market inputs include quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets, quoted adjusted prices in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active, and model-derived valuations in which the majority of significant inputs and significant value drivers are observable in active markets.

Level 3 — Fair value measurement within Level 3 should be based on unobservable inputs in such cases where markets do not exist or are illiquid. Significant unobservable inputs include model derived valuations in which the majority of significant inputs or significant value drivers are unobservable. Unobservable inputs are those inputs that reflect the Fund’s own assumptions that market participants would use to price the asset or liability based on the best available information.

K. Security Valuation.  Common and preferred stocks, exchange-traded funds and financial derivative instruments, such as futures contracts and options contracts that are traded on a national securities or commodities exchange, are valued at the last reported sales price at the close of regular trading on each day the exchange is open for trading, in the case of common stocks and exchange-traded funds, or, in the case of futures contracts or options contracts, the settlement price determined by the relevant exchange. Securities listed on the NASDAQ National Market System for which market quotations are readily available are valued using the NASDAQ Official Closing Price. To the extent these securities are actively traded and valuation adjustments are not applied, they are categorized as Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy.

Equity securities traded on an exchange for which there have been no sales on the valuation date are generally valued at the mean between last

bid and ask price on such day and are categorized as Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy, or are fair valued by the Valuation Committee.

Investments in registered open-end management investment companies will be valued based upon the NAVs of such investments and are categorized as Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy.

Valuation adjustments may be applied to certain common and preferred stocks that are solely traded on a foreign exchange to account for the market movement between the close of the foreign market and the close of the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”). These securities are generally valued using pricing service providers that consider the correlation of the trading patterns of the foreign securities to the intraday trading in the U.S. markets for investments. Securities using these valuation adjustments are categorized as Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy. None of the Fund’s securities were fair valued utilizing this method as of March 31, 2019.

Fixed income securities (other than repurchase agreements and demand notes) including corporate, convertible and municipal bonds and notes, U.S. government agencies, U.S. Treasury obligations, sovereign issues, bank loans, convertible preferred securities, fixed income securities purchased on a delayed delivery basis and non-U.S. bonds are normally valued on the basis of quotes obtained from brokers and dealers or independent pricing services or sources. Independent pricing services typically use information provided by market makers or estimates of market values obtained from yield data relating to investments or securities with similar characteristics. The service providers’ internal models use inputs that are observable such as, among other things, issuer details, interest rates, yield curves, prepayment speeds, credit risks/ spreads, default rates and quoted prices for similar assets. Securities that use similar valuation techniques and inputs as described above are categorized as Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.

Rights that are traded on a national securities exchange are valued at the last reported sales price at the close of regular trading on each day the exchange is open. A right is a privilege offered by a corporation to its shareholders pro rata to subscribe to a certain security at a specified price, often for a short period. Rights may or may not be transferable.

The Fund may enter into mortgage dollar roll transactions in which the Fund sells a mortgage-backed security to a counterparty and simultaneously enters into an agreement with the same counterparty to buy back a similar security on a specific future date at a predetermined price. Risks may arise due to the delayed payment date and the potential inability of counterparties to complete the transaction. Mortgage dollar rolls are accounted for as purchase and sale transactions, which may increase the Fund’s portfolio turnover rate.

21

Brandes Value NextShares

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — (Unaudited) (continued)

Mortgage and asset-backed securities are usually issued as separate tranches, or classes, of securities within each package of underlying securities. These securities are also normally valued by pricing service providers that use broker-dealer quotations or valuation estimates from their internal pricing models. The pricing models for these securities usually consider tranche level attributes, estimated cash flows and market-based yield spreads for each tranche, and current market data and incorporate packaged collateral performance, as available. Mortgage and asset-backed securities that use such valuation techniques and inputs are categorized as Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.

Repurchase agreements and demand notes, for which neither vendor pricing nor market maker prices are available, are valued at amortized cost on the day of valuation, unless the Advisor determines that the use of amortized cost valuation on such day is not appropriate (in which case such instrument is fair valued in accordance with the fair value procedures of the Trust).

Certain securities may be fair valued in accordance with the fair valuation procedures approved by the Board of Trustees. The Valuation Committee is generally responsible for overseeing the day-to-day valuation processes and reports periodically to the Board. The Valuation Committee is authorized to make all necessary determinations of the fair value of portfolio securities and other assets for which market quotations are not readily available or if it is deemed that the prices obtained from brokers and dealers or independent pricing services are unreliable. The securities fair valued by the Valuation Committee are indicated in the Schedule of Investments and are categorized as Level 2 or Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy. Certain vendor priced securities may also be considered Level 3 if significant unobservable inputs are used by the vendors.

In using fair value pricing, the Fund attempts to establish the price that it might reasonably have expected to receive upon a sale of the security at 4:00 p.m. Eastern time. Valuing securities at fair value involves greater reliance on judgment than valuation of securities based on readily available market quotations. A Fund using fair value to price securities may value those securities higher or lower than another fund using market quotations or fair value to price the same securities. Further, there can be no assurance that the Fund could obtain the fair value assigned to a security if it were to sell the security at approximately the time at which the Fund determines its net asset value.

NOTE 3 – INVESTMENT ADVISORY FEE AND OTHER TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES

A. Advisor Fee.  The Advisor provides the Fund with investment management services under an Investment Advisory Agreement. The Advisor furnishes all investment advice, office space and certain administrative services, and provides certain personnel, needed by the Fund. As compensation for its services, the Advisor is entitled to a monthly fee. The Advisor received a monthly fee at the annual rate of 0.30% based upon the Fund’s average daily net assets. For the six months ended March 31, 2019, the Fund incurred $5,083 in advisory fees.

Certain officers and trustees of the Trust are also officers of the Advisor.

The Fund is responsible for its own operating expenses. The Advisor has contractually agreed to limit the Fund’s annual operating expenses, including repayment of previous waivers, to 0.40% of the Fund’s average daily net assets through January 31, 2020 (the “Expense Cap Agreement”).

23

Brandes Value NextShares

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — (Unaudited) (continued)

The Fund may incur additional expenses not covered under the Expense Cap Agreement. These expenses include acquired fund fees and expenses, taxes, interest, broker commissions, and proxy expenses or other extraordinary expenses.

Any reimbursements of fee waivers made by the Advisor to the Fund are subject to repayment by the Fund, to the extent that the Fund is able to make the repayment within the expense limit specified in its Expense Cap Agreement. Under the Expense Cap Agreement that was in place during the period covered by this report, any such repayment must be made before the end of the thirty-six months after the month in which the related reimbursement or waiver occurred. For the six months ended March 31, 2019, the Advisor waived expenses and/or reimbursed the Fund $88,633. Potential recovery amounts expire through the following periods:

Period Ended September 30, 2021	Six Months Ended March 31, 2022
$134,544	$88,633

B. Administration Fee.  U.S. Bancorp Fund Services, LLC, doing business as U.S. Bank Global Fund Services, (the “Administrator”) acts as administrator for the Fund. The Administrator prepares various federal and state regulatory filings; prepares reports and materials to be supplied to the Trustees; monitors the activities of the Fund’s custodian, transfer agent and accountant; coordinates the preparation and payment of Fund expenses; and reviews the Fund’s expense accruals. For these services, the Fund pays the administrator monthly a fee accrued daily and based on the Fund’s average daily net assets. The Fund may also reimburse the Administrator for such out-of-pocket expenses as incurred by the Administrator in performance of its duties. The amounts paid directly to the Administrator by the Fund for administrative services are included in the Administration fees in the Statement of Operations.

C. Distribution Fee.  ALPS Distributors, LLC (the “Distributor”), a registered broker-dealer, acts as the Fund’s principal underwriter in a continuous public offering of the Fund’s shares. All of the Fund’s distribution expenses are paid by the Advisor.

The Fund has adopted a Distribution Plan (the “Plan”) pursuant to the Rule 12b-1 under the Investment Company Act of 1940. The Plan is designed to reimburse the Distributor or dealers for certain promotional and other sales related costs associated with sales of Fund shares. Unreimbursed amounts may be carried forward and paid in a subsequent year, to the extent that total expenses under the Plan does not exceed 0.25% of the average daily net assets of the Fund. As of March 31, 2019, the Plan had not been activated for the Fund.

NOTE 4 – PURCHASE AND SALES OF SECURITIES

The cost of purchases and the proceeds from sales of securities of the Fund, excluding short-term investments, were as follows for the six months ended March 31, 2019:

U.S. Government				Other
Purchases		Sales		Purchases		Sales
$	—	$	—	$	2,923,057	$	164,523

NOTE 5 – CAPITAL STOCK TRANSACTIONS

The Fund issues and redeems shares only in blocks of 25,000 shares or multiples thereof (“Creation Units”). Creation Units may be purchased or redeemed only by or through broker-dealers or institutional investors that have entered into agreements with the Fund’s Distributor (“Authorized Participants”). The Fund issues and redeems Creation Units in return for the securities, instruments and/or cash (the “Basket”) that the Fund specifies each business day. The Fund imposes transaction fees on Creation Units issued and redeemed to offset the estimated cost to the Fund of processing the transaction and converting the Basket to or from the desired portfolio composition.

NOTE 6 – FEDERAL INCOME TAX MATTERS

GAAP requires that certain components of net assets be reclassified between financial and tax reporting. Temporary differences do not require reclassification. Temporary and permanent differences have no effect on net assets or net asset value per share. For the period ended September 30, 2018, the Fund made the following permanent book-to-tax reclassifications primarily related to the organizational costs that occured:

Undistributed Net Investment Income		Net Realized Gain		Paid-In Capital
$	26	$	—	$	(26	)

As of September 30, 2018, the Fund’s components of distributable earnings on a tax basis were as follows:

Cost of investments for tax purposes	$	2,036,608
Gross tax unrealized appreciation		90,285
Gross tax unrealized depreciation		(66,720	)
Net unrealized appreciation on investments		23,565
Distributable ordinary income		7,009
Distributable long-term capital gains		—
Total distributable earnings		7,009
Other accumulated gains		—
Total accumulated gains	$	30,574

25

Brandes Value NextShares

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — (Unaudited) (continued)

The differences between book and tax basis distributable earnings are primarily related to the differences in classification of paydown gains and losses for tax purposes compared to book purposes. The difference between book and tax basis unrealized depreciation on investments is due primarily to timing differences resulting from wash sale transactions. These differences are temporary.

The tax compositions of dividends for the period ended September 30, 2018 for the Fund were as follows:

Ordinary Income		Long Term Capital Gains
$	10,658	$	—

For the period ended September 30, 2018, the Fund did not have any capital loss carryforwards.

NOTE 7 – NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

In August 2018, FASB issued ASU 2018-13, Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820): Disclosure Framework – Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurement (“ASU 2018-13”). The primary focus of ASU 2018-13 is to improve the effectiveness of the disclosure requirements for fair value measurements. The changes affect all companies that are required to include fair value measurement disclosures. In general, the amendments in ASU 2018-13 are effective for all entities for fiscal years and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2019. An entity is permitted to early adopt the removed or modified disclosures upon the issuance of ASU 2018-13 and may delay adoption of the additional disclosures, which are required for public companies only, until their effective date. Management has chosen to adopt this disclosure in this report.

In August 2018, the Securities and Exchange Commission issued Final Rule Release No. 33-10532, Disclosure Update and Simplification, which in part amends certain disclosure requirements of Regulation S-X that have become redundant, duplicative, overlapping, outdated, or superseded, in light of other Commission disclosure requirements, U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles, or changes in the information environment. The amendments are intended to facilitate the disclosure of information to investors and simplify compliance without significantly altering the total mix of information provided to investors. Management has chosen to adopt this disclosure in this report.

NOTE 8 – SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

In preparing these financial statements, the Trust has evaluated events and transactions for potential recognition or disclosure through the date the financial statements were available to be issued. The Trust has concluded that there are no subsequent events to note.

BOARD CONSIDERATION AND CONTINUATION OF INVESTMENT ADVISORY AGREEMENT

In November 2018 the Board of Trustees of Brandes Investment Trust (the “Trust”), including the independent Trustees, unanimously approved renewal of the Investment Advisory Agreement (the “Agreement”) between the Trust and Brandes Investment Partners, L.P. (the “Advisor”) with respect to Brandes Value NextShares (the “Fund”) for an additional one-year term.

Information Reviewed

During the course of each year, Board members review a wide variety of materials relating to the nature, extent and quality of the services provided to the Fund by the Advisor, including reports on the Fund’s investment results, portfolio composition, portfolio trading practices, and other matters. In addition, in connection with its annual review of the Agreement with respect to the Fund, the Board requested and reviewed supplementary information that included materials regarding the Fund’s investment results and advisory fee and expense comparisons for peer groups and categories of similar funds identified by Morningstar Associates (“Morningstar”); financial and profitability information regarding the Advisor; the methods used by the Advisor to evaluate and compensate its professional investment personnel; descriptions of various functions performed by the Advisor on behalf of the Trust such as compliance monitoring and portfolio trading practices; and information about the personnel providing investment management and administrative services to the Fund.

In connection with its reviews, the Board received assistance and advice regarding legal and industry standards from counsel to the Trust and the independent Trustees. The independent Trustees discussed the approval of the Agreement with respect to the Fund with representatives of the Advisor at two Board meetings and in private sessions with counsel at which no representatives of the Advisor were present. In deciding to recommend approval of the Agreement with respect to the Fund, the Board and the independent Trustees did not identify any single or particular piece of information that, in isolation, was the controlling factor, and each Trustee did not necessarily attribute the same weight to each factor. This summary describes the most important, but not all, of the factors considered by the Board and the independent Trustees.

Nature, Extent and Quality of Services

With respect to the nature, extent and quality of services provided by the Advisor to the Fund, the Trustees reviewed among other things the quality and depth of the Advisor’s investment management staff, its regulatory compliance resources and program, its business continuity and cyber-security programs, the investment results of the Fund and the day-to-day administrative services provided by the Advisor to the Fund.

27

Brandes Value NextShares

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION — (Unaudited) (continued)

With respect to the Fund’s investment results, the Trustees reviewed detailed information regarding a peer group of similarly managed funds selected by Morningstar Associates, all of the funds in the larger Morningstar category of funds managed with the same general style, and the Fund’s benchmark index. The Trustees also discussed with representatives of Morningstar the principles used in determining the Funds’ peer groups and categories. In addition, they reviewed the results of certain Funds considered by the Advisor to be the most direct competitors to the Fund in the Fund’s marketing channels. They noted the brief operating history of the Fund (less than one year) and concluded that the Fund’s performance was sufficient for renewal of the Agreement.

Advisory Fees, Total Expenses, Profitability and Ancillary Benefits

With respect to the advisory fee and total expenses of the Fund, the independent Trustees noted that the Fund’s advisory fee was the same as the median fee of a peer group of similar funds identified by Morningstar and the net expense ratio of the Fund was near the Morningstar peer group median. They also noted that in the Fund’s brief period of operations, the Advisor was subsidizing the Fund’s expenses, the Fund was not profitable to the Advisor and any ancillary benefits to the Advisor were minimal.

Conclusion

Based on their review, including consideration of each of the factors referred to above, the Board and the independent Trustees concluded that the Agreement is fair and reasonable to the Fund and its shareholders, that each of the factors discussed above supported renewal of the Agreement with respect to the Fund, and that renewal of the Agreement was in the best interests of the Fund and its shareholders.
