Semi-Annual Report to Shareholders
June 30, 2017
Investment Philosophy:
The Adviser seeks to achieve superior investment returns primarily by investing in global companies that are currently demonstrating rapid growth in their sales and earnings and which, in its judgment, have the ability to continue or accelerate their growth rates in the future. The Adviser manages the portfolios actively (above average turnover) to ensure that the Funds are fully invested, under appropriate market conditions, in companies that meet these criteria. Investors should note that investments in overseas markets can pose more risks than U.S. investments, and the international Funds’ share prices are expected to be more volatile than those of the U.S.-only Funds. In addition, the Funds’ returns will fluctuate with changes in stock market conditions, currency values, interest rates, government regulations, and economic and political conditions in countries in which the Funds invest. These risks are generally greater when investing in emerging markets.

Performance Overview (unaudited)
The performance summarized below is historical and does not represent future results. Investment returns and principal value vary, and you may have a gain or loss when you sell shares. Performance data presented measures the change in the value of an investment in the Fund, assuming reinvestment of all dividends and capital gains. Average annual total return reflects annualized change.
The table does not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on Fund distributions or the redemption of Fund shares. The graph compares the results of a $10,000 investment in the Fund over the last 10 fiscal year periods, with all dividends and capital gains reinvested, with the indicated indices (and dividends reinvested) for the same period.

Data is in U.S. dollars and is calculated with net dividend reinvestment. The benchmark has changed from the Morgan Stanley Capital International Emerging Markets Index-Gross (MSCI Emerging Markets Index-G) to the MSCI Emerging Markets Index-N because the net index is more commonly used industry wide and is a more representative comparison versus the fund because it is presented net of foreign withholding taxes.

Driehaus Emerging Markets Small Cap Growth Fund
Performance Overview (unaudited)
The performance summarized below is historical and does not represent future results. Investment returns and principal value vary, and you may have a gain or loss when you sell shares. Performance data presented measures the change in the value of an investment in the Fund, assuming reinvestment of all dividends and capital gains. Average annual total return reflects annualized change.
The table does not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on Fund distributions or the redemption of Fund shares. The graph compares the results of a $10,000 investment in the Fund since December 1, 2008 (the date of the Predecessor Limited Partnership’s inception), with all dividends and capital gains reinvested, with the indicated indices (and dividends reinvested) for the same period.

1 | The Driehaus Emerging Markets Small Cap Growth Fund (the “Fund”) performance shown above includes the performance of the Driehaus Emerging Markets Small Cap Growth Fund, L.P. (the “Predecessor Limited Partnership”), the Fund’s predecessor, for the periods before the Fund’s registration statement became effective. The Predecessor Limited Partnership, which was established on December 1, 2008, was managed with substantially the same investment objective, policies and philosophies as are followed by the Fund. The Fund succeeded to the Predecessor Limited Partnership’s assets on August 22, 2011. The Predecessor Limited Partnership was not registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (“1940 Act”), and thus was not subject to certain investment and operational restrictions that are imposed by the 1940 Act. If the Predecessor Limited Partnership had been registered under the 1940 Act, its performance may have been adversely affected. The Predecessor Limited Partnership’s performance has been restated to reflect estimated expenses of the Fund. The returns for the periods prior to August 21, 2014, reflect fee waivers and/or reimbursements without which performance would have been lower. |

(1) | If the Fund is a buyer of protection and a credit event occurs, as defined under the terms of that particular swap agreement, the Fund will either (i) receive from the seller of protection an amount equal to the notional amount of the swap and deliver the referenced obligation or underlying investments comprising the referenced index or (ii) receive a net settlement amount in the form of cash or investments equal to the notional amount of the swap less the recovery value of the referenced obligation or underlying investments comprising the referenced index. |
(2) | If the Fund is a seller of protection and a credit event occurs, as defined under the terms of that particular swap agreement, the Fund will either (i) pay to the buyer of protection an amount equal to the notional amount of the swap and take delivery of the referenced obligation or underlying investments comprising the referenced index or (ii) pay a net settlement amount in the form of cash or investments equal to the notional amount of the swap less the recovery value of the referenced obligation or underlying investments comprising the referenced index. |
(3) | An implied credit spread is the spread in yield between a U.S. Treasury security and the referenced obligation or underlying investment that are identical in all respects except for the quality rating. Implied credit spreads, represented in absolute terms, utilized in determining the value of credit default swap agreements on corporate and sovereign issues as of period end serve as an indicator of the current status of the payment/performance risk and represent the likelihood of risk of default for the credit derivative. The implied credit spread of a particular referenced entity reflects the cost of buying/selling protection and may include upfront payments required to be made to enter into the agreement. Wider credit spreads, in comparison to narrower credit spreads, represent a deterioration of the referenced entity’s credit soundness and a greater likelihood of risk of default or other credit event occurring as defined under the terms of the agreement. A credit spread identified as “Defaulted” indicates a credit event has occurred for the referenced entity or obligation. |
(4) | The maximum potential amount the Fund could be required to pay as a seller of credit protection or receive as a buyer of credit protection if a credit event occurs as defined under the terms of that particular swap agreement. |

Driehaus Frontier Emerging Markets Fund
Performance Overview (unaudited)
The performance summarized below is historical and does not represent future results. Investment returns and principal value vary, and you may have a gain or loss when you sell shares. Performance data presented measures the change in the value of an investment in the Fund, assuming reinvestment of all dividends and capital gains. Average annual total return reflects annualized change.
The table does not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on Fund distributions or the redemption of Fund shares. The graph compares the results of a $250,000 investment (minimum investment) in the Fund since May 4, 2015 (the date of the Fund’s inception), with all dividends and capital gains reinvested, with the indicated index (and dividends reinvested) for the same period.

2 | The Morgan Stanley Capital International Frontier Markets Index-Net (MSCI Frontier Markets Index-N) provides broad representation of the equity opportunity set in frontier markets while taking investability requirements into consideration within each market. Data is in U.S. dollars and is calculated with net dividend reinvestment. The benchmark has changed from the Morgan Stanley Capital International Frontier Markets Index-Gross (MSCI Frontier Markets Index-G) to the MSCI Frontier Markets Index-N because the net index is more commonly used industry wide and is a more representative comparison versus the fund because it is presented net of foreign withholding taxes.

1 | The Driehaus International Small Cap Growth Fund (the “Fund”) performance shown above includes the performance of the Driehaus International Opportunities Fund, L.P. (the “Predecessor Limited Partnership”), the Fund’s predecessor, for the periods before the Fund’s registration statement became effective. The Predecessor Limited Partnership, which was established on August 1, 2002, was managed with substantially the same investment objective, policies and philosophies as are followed by the Fund. The Fund succeeded to the Predecessor Limited Partnership’s assets on September 17, 2007. The Predecessor Limited Partnership was not registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (“1940 Act”), and thus was not subject to certain investment and operational restrictions that are imposed by the 1940 Act. If the Predecessor Limited Partnership had been registered under the 1940 Act, its performance may have been adversely affected. The Predecessor Limited Partnership’s performance has been restated to reflect estimated expenses of the Fund. The returns for the periods prior to January 1, 2010, reflect fee waivers and/or reimbursements without which performance would have been lower. |

The benchmark has changed from the Morgan Stanley Capital International All Country World ex USA Small Cap Growth Index-Gross (MSCI AC World ex USA Small Cap Growth Index-G) to the MSCI AC World ex USA Small Cap Growth Index-N because the net index is more commonly used industry wide and is a more representative comparison versus the fund because it is presented net of foreign withholding taxes.

Driehaus Micro Cap Growth Fund
Performance Overview (unaudited)
The performance summarized below is historical and does not represent future results. Investment returns and principal value vary, and you may have a gain or loss when you sell shares. Performance data presented measures the change in the value of an investment in the Fund, assuming reinvestment of all dividends and capital gains. Average annual total return reflects annualized change.
The table does not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on Fund distributions or the redemption of Fund shares. The graph compares the results of a $10,000 investment in the Fund over the last 10 fiscal year periods (which includes performance of the Predecessor Limited Partnership), with all dividends and capital gains reinvested, with the indicated index (and dividends reinvested) for the same period.
Fund Only | Including Predecessor Limited Partnership | |||||||||||||||||||
Average Annual Total Returns as of 6/30/17 | 1 Year | 3 Years | Since Inception (11/18/13 - 6/30/17) | 5 Years | 10 Years | |||||||||||||||

1 | The Driehaus Micro Cap Growth Fund (the “Fund”) performance shown above includes the performance of the Driehaus Micro Cap Fund, L.P. (the “Predecessor Limited Partnership”), one of the Fund’s predecessors, for the periods before the Fund’s registration statement became effective. The Predecessor Limited Partnership, which was established on July 1, 1996, was managed with substantially the same investment objective, policies and philosophies as are followed by the Fund. The Fund succeeded to the Predecessor Limited Partnership’s assets together with the assets of the Driehaus Institutional Micro Cap Fund, L.P. on November 18, 2013. The Predecessor Limited Partnership was not registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (“1940 Act”), and thus was not subject to certain investment and operational restrictions that are imposed by the 1940 Act. If the Predecessor Limited Partnership had been registered under the 1940 Act, its performance may have been adversely affected. The Predecessor Limited Partnership’s performance has been restated to reflect estimated expenses of the Fund. The returns reflect fee waivers and/or reimbursements without which performance would have been lower. |
2 | The Russell Microcap® Growth Index is constructed to provide a comprehensive and unbiased barometer of the micro cap growth market. Based on ongoing empirical research of investment manager behavior, the methodology used to determine growth probability approximates the aggregate microcap growth manager's opportunity set. |

The five series (“Funds” or each a “Fund”) included in this report are as follows:
Fund | Commencement of Operations | |||
Driehaus Emerging Markets Growth Fund | 12/31/97 | |||
Driehaus Emerging Markets Small Cap Growth Fund | 08/22/11 | |||
Driehaus Frontier Emerging Markets Fund | 05/04/15 | |||
Driehaus International Small Cap Growth Fund* | 09/17/07 | |||

Securities Valuation and Transactions
Equity securities and exchange-traded options are valued at the last sale price as of the close of the primary exchange or other designated time. Equity certificates are valued at the last sale price of the underlying security as of the close of the primary exchange. Swaps, forward foreign currency contracts and other financial derivatives are valued daily, primarily by an independent pricing service using pricing models, and are generally classified as level 2. The pricing models use inputs that are observed from actively quoted markets such as issuer details, indices, spreads, interest rates, yield curves, dividends and exchange rates. If valuations are not available from the independent pricing service or values received are deemed not representative of market value, values will be obtained from a third party broker-dealer or counterparty. Investments initially valued in currencies other than the U.S. dollar are converted to the U.S. dollar using exchange rates obtained from an independent pricing service. In addition, if quotations are not readily available, if the values have been materially affected by events occurring after the closing of a foreign market, or if there has been a movement in the U.S. market that exceeds a certain threshold, assets may be valued at fair value as determined in good faith by or under the direction of the Trust’s Board of Trustees. Events that may materially affect asset values that could cause a fair value determination include, but are not limited to: corporate announcements relating to a specific security; natural and other disasters which may impact an entire market or region; and political and other events which may be global or impact a particular country or

region. The frequency with which these procedures are used cannot be predicted and may be utilized to a significant extent. To the extent utilized, securities would be considered level 2 in the hierarchy described below. Substantially all transfers between level 1 and level 2 relate to the use of these procedures.
Each Fund is subject to fair value accounting standards that define fair value, establish the framework for measuring fair value and provide a three-level hierarchy for fair valuation based upon the inputs to the valuation as of the measurement date. The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are as follows:
Level 1 — quoted prices in active markets for identical securities
Level 2 — significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.)
Level 3 — significant unobservable inputs (including the Funds’ own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments)
The inputs or methodology used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities.
The summary of the Funds’ investments that are measured at fair value by level within the fair value hierarchy as of June 30, 2017 is as follows:
Fund | Total Value at June 30, 2017 | Level 1 Quoted Price | Level 2 Significant Observable Inputs | Level 3 Significant Unobservable Inputs | ||||||||||||

Transfers between levels, if any, are recognized as of the last day in the fiscal quarter of the period in which the event or change in circumstances that caused the reclassification occurred. The Funds used observable inputs in their valuation methodologies whenever they were available and deemed reliable.
When fair value pricing is employed, the prices of securities used by a Fund to calculate its net asset value may differ from closing prices for the same securities, which means that a Fund may value those securities higher or lower than another fund that does not employ fair value. In addition, the fair value price may differ materially from the value a Fund may ultimately realize.
For the period ended June 30, 2017, securities with end of period values of $1,659,216 held by Driehaus Frontier Emerging Markets Fund were transferred from level 1 to level 2.
Securities transactions are accounted for on trade date. The cost of investments sold is determined by the use of the specific identification method for both financial reporting and income tax purposes. Interest income is recorded on an accrual basis. Dividend income, net of non-reclaimable foreign taxes withheld, is recorded on the ex-dividend date or as soon as the information is available. Income and expenses are accrued daily.
Options Contracts
The Funds are subject to equity and other risk exposures in the normal course of pursuing their investment objective. The Funds may use options contracts to hedge their portfolio or a portion thereof or speculatively for the purpose of profiting from a decline in the market value of a security. The Driehaus Emerging Markets Small Cap Growth Fund used both purchased and written options during the period January 1, 2017 through June 30, 2017 to hedge exposure to certain countries, sectors or currencies.
The Funds may write covered call and put options on futures, securities or currencies the Funds own or in which they may invest. Writing put options tends to increase a Fund’s exposure to the underlying instrument. Writing call options tends to decrease a Fund’s exposure to the underlying instrument. When a Fund writes a call or put option, an amount equal to the premium received is recorded as a liability and subsequently marked-to-market to reflect the current value of the option written. These liabilities are reflected as written options outstanding in the Schedule of Investments. Payments received or made, if any, from writing options with premiums to be determined on a future date are reflected as such in the Schedule of Investments. Premiums received from writing options that expire are treated as realized gains. Premiums received from writing options that are exercised or closed are added to the proceeds or offset against amounts
43
Driehaus Mutual Funds
Notes to Financial Statements (unaudited) — (Continued)
paid on the underlying future, security or currency transaction to determine the realized gain or loss. A Fund, as a writer of an option, has no control over whether the underlying future, security or currency may be sold (call) or purchased (put) and, as a result, bears the market risk of an unfavorable change in the price of the future, security or currency underlying the written option. The risk exists that a Fund may not be able to enter into a closing transaction because of an illiquid market.
For the period ended June 30, 2017, the average monthly volume of purchased and written options for Driehaus Emerging Markets Small Cap Growth Fund were $1,429,523 and $264,731, respectively.
The premiums received and the number of option contracts written during the period ended June 30, 2017 were as follows:
Driehaus Emerging Markets Small Cap Growth Fund | Number of Contracts | Premiums Received | ||||||
Options outstanding at December 31, 2016 | 17,500 | $ | 419,278 | |||||
Options written | 115,000 | 1,801,915 | ||||||

|
| |||||
Options outstanding at June 30, 2017 | 20,000 | $ | 205,351 | |||||
|
|
|
|
The Funds may also purchase put and call options. Purchasing call options tends to increase a Fund’s exposure to the underlying instrument. Purchasing put options tends to decrease a Fund’s exposure to the underlying instrument. A Fund pays a premium which is included in its Schedule of Investments as an investment and subsequently marked-to-market to reflect the current value of the option. Premiums paid for purchasing options that expire are treated as realized losses. Premiums paid for purchasing options that are exercised or closed are added to the amounts paid or offset against the proceeds on the underlying future, security or currency transaction to determine the realized gain or loss. When entering into purchased option contracts, a Fund bears the risk of securities prices moving unexpectedly, in which case, a Fund may not achieve the anticipated benefits of the purchased option contracts; however, the risk of loss is limited to the premium paid. As of June 30, 2017, Funds with outstanding options are as listed on the Schedules of Investments.
Swap Contracts
The Driehaus Emerging Markets Small Cap Growth Fund may engage in various swap transactions, including forward rate agreements and interest rate, currency, volatility, index and total return swaps, primarily to manage risk, or as alternatives to direct investments. The Fund may also engage in credit default swaps, which involve the exchange of a periodic premium for protection against a defined credit event (such as payment default, refinancing or bankruptcy). The Fund engaged in credit default swaps during the period January 1, 2017 through June 30, 2017 to protect against credit events and interest rate swaps to hedge currency risks.
Under the terms of a credit default swap contract, one party acts as a guarantor receiving a periodic payment that is a fixed percentage applied to a notional amount. In return, the party agrees to purchase the notional amount of the underlying instrument, at par, if a credit event occurs during the term of the contract. The Fund may enter into credit default swaps in which the Fund acts as guarantor (a seller of protection), and may enter into credit default swaps in which the counterparty acts as guarantor (a buyer of protection). Premiums paid to or by the Fund are accrued daily and included in realized gain (loss) on swaps. The contracts are marked-to-market daily using fair value estimates provided by an independent pricing service. Changes in value are recorded as unrealized appreciation (depreciation). Unrealized gains are reported as an asset and unrealized losses are reported as a liability. The change in value of swaps, including accruals of periodic amounts of interest to be paid or received on swaps is reported as unrealized gains or losses. Gains or losses are realized upon termination of the contracts. The risk of loss under a swap contract may exceed the amount recorded as an asset or a liability. The notional amount of a swap contract is the reference amount pursuant to which the counterparties make payments. For swaps in which the referenced obligation is an index, in the event of default of any debt security included in the corresponding index, the Fund pays or receives the percentage of the corresponding index that the defaulted security comprises (1) multiplied by the
44
Driehaus Mutual Funds
Notes to Financial Statements (unaudited) — (Continued)
notional value and (2) multiplied by the ratio of one minus the ratio of the market value of the defaulted debt security to its par value. The maximum exposure to loss of the notional value as a seller of credit default swaps outstanding at June 30, 2017, for the Driehaus Emerging Markets Small Cap Growth Fund was $0.
Interest rate swaps are agreements between two parties to exchange cash flows based on a notional principal amount. The Fund may elect to pay a fixed rate and receive a floating rate or receive a fixed rate and pay a floating rate on a notional principal amount. The net interest received or paid on interest rate swap agreements is accrued daily as interest income/expense. Interest rate swaps are marked-to-market daily using fair value estimates provided by an independent pricing service. Changes in value, including accrued interest, are recorded as unrealized appreciation (depreciation). Unrealized gains are reported as an asset and unrealized losses are reported as a liability. The change in value of swaps, including accruals of periodic amounts of interest to be paid or received on swaps, is reported as unrealized gains or losses. Gains or losses are realized upon termination of the contracts. The risk of loss under a swap contract may exceed the amount recorded as an asset or a liability.
Risks associated with swap contracts include changes in the returns of underlying instruments, failure of the counterparties to perform under the contracts’ terms and the possible lack of liquidity with respect to the contracts. Credit default swaps can involve greater risks than if an investor had invested in the reference obligation directly since, in addition to general market risks, credit default swaps are subject to counterparty credit risk, leverage risk, hedging risk, correlation risk and liquidity risk. The Fund discloses swap contracts on a gross basis, with no netting of contracts held with the same counterparty. As of June 30, 2017, the Driehaus Emerging Markets Small Cap Growth Fund had outstanding swap contracts as listed on the Schedule of Investments.
Forward Foreign Currency Contracts
The Driehaus Emerging Markets Small Cap Growth Fund used forward foreign currency contracts during the period January 1, 2017 through June 30, 2017 to hedge foreign currency exposure in the portfolio. A forward foreign currency contract involves an obligation to purchase or sell a specific currency at a future date, which may be any fixed number of days from the date of the contract agreed upon by the parties, at a price set at the time of the contract. These contracts are principally traded in the inter-bank market conducted directly between currency traders (usually large commercial banks) and their customers.
The market value of a forward foreign currency contract fluctuates with changes in currency exchange rates. Outstanding forward foreign currency contracts are valued daily at current market rates and the resulting change in market value is recorded as unrealized appreciation or depreciation. When a forward foreign currency contract is settled, the Fund records a realized gain or loss equal to the difference between the value at the time the forward foreign currency contract was opened and the value at the time it was settled. A forward foreign currency contract may involve market risk in excess of the unrealized gain or loss reflected on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities. In addition, the Fund could be exposed to credit risk if the counterparties are unable or unwilling to meet the terms of the contracts or market risk if the value of the foreign currency changes unfavorably. As of June 30, 2017, the Driehaus Emerging Markets Small Cap Growth Fund did not have any open forward foreign currency contracts.
Foreign Currency Spot Contracts
The Funds enter into foreign currency spot contracts to facilitate transactions in foreign currency denominated securities. These spot contracts are typically open for 2 to 5 days, depending on the settlement terms of the underlying security transaction. On June 30, 2017, the Funds had foreign currency spot contracts outstanding under which they are obligated to exchange currencies at specified future dates. The net unrealized appreciation or depreciation on spot contracts is reflected as Net unrealized appreciation or depreciation on unsettled foreign currency transactions in the Statements of Assets and Liabilities.
Equity Certificates
The Funds may invest in equity certificates, which allow the Funds to participate in the appreciation (depreciation) of the underlying security without actually owning the underlying security. These derivative
45
Driehaus Mutual Funds
Notes to Financial Statements (unaudited) — (Continued)
instruments are purchased pursuant to an agreement with a financial institution and are valued at a calculated market price based on the value of the underlying security in accordance with the agreement. These equity certificates are subject to the credit risk of the issuing financial institution. There is no off-balance sheet risk associated with equity certificates and the Funds’ potential loss is limited to the purchase price of the securities. The Funds are exposed to credit risk associated with the counterparty to the transaction, which is monitored by the Funds’ management on a periodic basis. A Fund’s equity certificates are not subject to any master netting agreement.
On June 30, 2017, Driehaus Frontier Emerging Markets Fund had unrealized appreciation (depreciation) of $64,974 as a result of its investments in these financial instruments. The aggregate market values of these certificates for Driehaus Frontier Emerging Markets Funds represented 0.4% of its total market value of investments at June 30, 2017.
Derivative Investment Holdings Categorized by Risk Exposure
Each Fund is subject to the FASB’s “Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities” (the “Derivatives Statement”). The Derivatives Statement amends and expands disclosures about derivative instruments and hedging activities. The Derivatives Statement is intended to improve financial reporting about derivative instruments requiring enhanced disclosures to enable investors to better understand how and why the Funds use derivative instruments, how these derivative instruments are accounted for and their effects on the Funds’ financial position and results of operations.

Disclosures about Offsetting Assets and Liabilities
The Driehaus Emerging Markets Small Cap Growth Fund is party to various agreements, including International Swaps and Derivatives Association Inc. master agreements and related Credit Support Annexes (“Master Netting Agreements” or “MNA”), which govern the terms of certain transactions with select counterparties. MNAs are designed to reduce counterparty risk associated with the relevant transactions by establishing credit protection mechanisms and providing standardization as a means of improving legal certainty. As MNAs are specific to the unique operations of different asset types, they allow the Fund to close out and net its total exposure to a counterparty in the event of default with respect to all of the transactions governed under a single agreement with that counterparty. MNAs can also help reduce counterparty risk by specifying collateral posting requirements at pre-arranged exposure levels. Securities and cash pledged as collateral are reflected as assets on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities as either a component of Investments at market value or Collateral held at custodian for the benefit of brokers.
The Funds’ derivative contracts held at June 30, 2017, are not accounted for as hedging instruments under U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”). For financial reporting purposes, the Funds do not offset financial assets and financial liabilities that are subject to MNAs or similar arrangements on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities. The settlement of exchange-traded options is guaranteed by the exchange the option is traded on and is not subject to arrangements with particular counterparties. For that reason, these options are excluded from the below disclosure.

Federal Income Taxes
No provision is made for Federal income taxes since each Fund has elected to be taxed as a “regulated investment company” under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code (the “Code”) and has made and declared all the required distributions to its shareholders in amounts sufficient to relieve each Fund from all or substantially all Federal income and excise taxes under provisions of current Federal tax law.
Each Fund is subject to accounting standards that establish a minimum threshold for recognizing, and a system for measuring, the benefits of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. Taxable years ending 2016, 2015, 2014 and 2013 remain open to Federal and state audit. As of December 31, 2016, management has evaluated the application of these standards to each Fund, and has determined that no provision for income tax is required in each Fund’s financial statements for uncertain tax provisions. The Funds recognize interest and penalties, if any, related to unrecognized tax benefits as income tax expense in the Statements of Operations. During the year, the Funds did not incur any interest or penalties. The Funds may be subject to foreign taxes on income, gains on investments or currency repatriation, a portion of which may be recoverable. Foreign taxes are provided for based on the Funds’ understanding of the tax rules and regulations that exist in the foreign markets in which they invest.
The amount of dividends and distributions from net investment income and net realized capital gains are determined in accordance with Federal income tax regulations, which may differ from U.S. GAAP.
For the year ended December 31, 2016, reclassifications were recorded to undistributed net investment income, undistributed net realized gain and paid-in capital for any permanent tax differences. These reclassifications relate primarily to foreign currency losses, sales of passive foreign investment companies, net operating losses and foreign capital gain taxes paid. Results of operations and net assets were not affected by these reclassifications.
For Federal income tax purposes, capital loss carryforwards represent net capital losses of a Fund that may be carried forward for a maximum period of eight years and applied against future net realized gains. On December 22, 2010, the Regulated Investment Company Modernization Act of 2010 was enacted to modernize several of the Federal income and excise tax provisions related to regulated investment companies. Under pre-enactment law, capital losses could be carried forward for up to eight years, and carried forward as short-term capital losses, irrespective of the character of the original loss. New net capital losses (those earned in
48
Driehaus Mutual Funds
Notes to Financial Statements (unaudited) — (Continued)
taxable years beginning after December 22, 2010) may be carried forward indefinitely and must retain the character of the original loss. Such new net capital losses generally must be used by a regulated investment company before it uses any net capital losses incurred in taxable years beginning before December 22, 2010. This increases the likelihood that net capital losses incurred in taxable years beginning before December 22, 2010 will expire unused. The following table shows the amounts of capital loss carryover, if any, by each of the applicable Funds as of December 31, 2016:

Pursuant to Federal income tax rules applicable to regulated investment companies, the Funds may elect to treat certain capital losses between November 1 and December 31 as occurring on the first day of the following tax year.

The differences between book-basis and tax-basis unrealized appreciation are attributable primarily to the tax deferral of losses on wash sales and passive foreign investment company (PFIC) mark-to-market.
Foreign Currency Translation
Foreign currency and equity securities not denominated in U.S. dollars are translated into U.S. dollar values based upon the current rates of exchange on the date of the Funds’ valuations.
Net realized foreign exchange gains or losses which are reported by the Funds result from currency gains and losses on transaction hedges arising from changes in exchange rates between the trade and settlement dates on spot contracts underlying securities transactions and the difference between the amounts accrued for dividends, interest, and foreign taxes and the amounts actually received or paid in U.S. dollars for these items. Net unrealized foreign exchange gains and losses result from changes in the U.S. dollar value of assets and liabilities (other than investments in securities), which are denominated in foreign currencies, as a result of changes in exchange rates.
The Funds do not isolate that portion of the results of operations which results from fluctuations in foreign exchange rates on investments. These fluctuations are included with the net realized gain (loss) from security transactions and the net change in unrealized appreciation (depreciation) of investments.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements, in conformity with U.S. GAAP, requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amount of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of net increases or decreases in net assets from operations during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Indemnifications
Under the Trust’s organizational documents, the officers and Trustees are indemnified against certain liabilities arising out of the performance of their duties to the Trust. In addition, in the normal course of business, the Trust enters into contracts that provide general indemnifications to other parties. The Funds’ maximum exposure under these agreements is unknown as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Funds that have not yet occurred. However, the Funds have not had prior claims or losses pursuant to these contracts and expect the risk of loss to be remote.

B. INVESTMENT ADVISORY FEES, TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES, AND ADMINISTRATIVE FEES
Richard H. Driehaus, an Interested Trustee of the Trust, is also the Chairman of the Board of Driehaus Capital Management LLC (“DCM” or the “Adviser”), a registered investment adviser, and of Driehaus Securities LLC (“DS LLC” or the “Distributor”), a registered broker-dealer.
DCM serves as the Funds’ investment adviser. In return for its services to the Funds, DCM receives monthly fees. Driehaus Micro Cap Growth Fund pays the Adviser a monthly fee computed and accrued daily at an annual rate of 1.25% of the Fund’s average daily net assets. Driehaus Emerging Markets Small Cap Growth Fund, Driehaus Frontier Emerging Markets Fund and Driehaus International Small Cap Growth Fund each pay the Adviser a monthly fee computed and accrued daily at an annual rate of 1.50% of each Fund’s average daily net assets. Driehaus Emerging Markets Growth Fund pays the Adviser a monthly fee computed and accrued daily at an annual rate of 1.50% on the first $1.5 billion, 1.00% on the next $500 million and 0.75% in excess of $2 billion of the Fund’s average daily net assets.

For a period of three years subsequent to the Fund’s commencement of operations, DCM was entitled to reimbursement for previously waived fees and reimbursed expenses to the extent that the Fund’s expense ratio remained below the operating expense cap in place at the time of the waiver and the current operating expense cap. There are no amounts still subject to recapture under this agreement.

In compensation for these services, BNY Mellon earns the greater of a monthly minimum fee or a monthly fee based upon average daily net assets. BNY Mellon also acts as the transfer agent and dividend disbursing agent for the Funds. For these services, BNY Mellon earns a monthly fee based on shareholder processing activity during the month.

D. LINE OF CREDIT
Driehaus Emerging Markets Growth Fund, Driehaus Emerging Markets Small Cap Growth Fund, Driehaus Frontier Emerging Markets Fund, Driehaus International Small Cap Growth Fund and Driehaus Micro Cap Growth Fund have, with certain other funds in the Trust, together obtained a committed line of credit in the amount of $50,000,000. This line of credit is available primarily to meet large, unexpected shareholder withdrawals subject to certain restrictions. Interest is charged at a rate per annum equal to the Federal Funds Rate in effect at the time of the borrowings plus 1.5%, or 1.75%, whichever is greater. There is a commitment fee of 0.10% of the excess of the $50,000,000 committed amount over the sum of the average daily balance of any loans, which is allocated amongst all funds that have access to the line. At June 30, 2017, the Funds had no outstanding borrowings under the line of credit.
E. FOREIGN INVESTMENT RISKS
To the extent a Fund invests in foreign securities, it may entail risks due to the potential for political and economic instability in the countries where the issuers of these securities are located. In addition, foreign exchange fluctuations could affect the value of positions held. These risks are generally intensified in emerging markets.
F. REDEMPTION FEES
The Funds may charge a redemption fee of 2.00% of the redemption amount for shares redeemed within 60 days of purchase. The redemption fees are recorded in paid-in capital and reflected in the Statements of Changes in Net Assets.
G. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
Events or transactions that occurred after the date of this report through the date the report was issued have been evaluated for potential impact to the financial statements. There are no subsequent events that require recognition or disclosure in the financial statements.

As a mutual fund shareholder, you may incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including sales charges; redemption fees; and exchange fees and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees; distribution (12b-1) fees; and other fund expenses. This example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in each 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 six months ended June 30, 2017.
Actual Expenses
The first line of the tables below (“Actual”) provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this line, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the first line under the heading entitled “Expenses Paid During Period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.
Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes
The second line of the tables below (“Hypothetical”) 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. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Funds versus other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds.
Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transactional costs, such as sales charges, redemption fees or exchange fees. Therefore, the second line 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.

Board Considerations in Connection with the Review of an Amendment to the Investment Advisory Agreement for Driehaus Emerging Markets Growth Fund
The Board of Trustees of Driehaus Mutual Funds (the “Trust”), including a majority of the Trustees who are not “interested persons” (as defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended) (the “Independent Trustees”), approved an amendment to the investment advisory agreement (the “Agreement”) with Driehaus Capital Management LLC (the “Adviser”) for the Driehaus Emerging Markets Growth Fund (the “Fund”) on June 8, 2017. As part of its consideration, the Board reviewed materials received from the Adviser. The Board also considered materials previously provided by legal counsel, and the Independent Trustees met with their independent legal counsel to review the proposal presented and the materials provided. After their consideration of the information received, the Independent Trustees presented their findings and their recommendation to approve the Agreement to the full Board.
In connection with the review process, the Board considered that, at its September 2016 meeting, the Board considered information regarding, among other things, the nature, extent and quality of services provided by the Adviser and the advisory fee rates, operating expenses and total expense ratio of the Fund, along with performance information for the Fund. The Board also compared the advisory fee rates and expense ratio of the Fund to fees and expense ratios of a peer group of funds based on data compiled from Lipper Analytical Services, Inc., an independent provider of mutual fund data that is a service of Broadridge Financial Solutions (“Lipper”). The Board noted that, pursuant to the Agreement, the advisory fee schedule would be reduced and would include two breakpoints. The Board also noted that the Fund’s advisory fee of 1.05% (at the current asset level) would rank in the 13th percentile of the Lipper peer group as of March 31, 2017 (1st percentile would be the highest advisory fee). The Board considered that the Fund’s expense ratio would be in the 74th percentile for the Institutional Share Class and in the 51st percentile for the Investor Share Class (1st percentile being the highest expense ratio) based on information the Adviser obtained from Lipper. The Board further considered the Fund’s asset size and the Adviser’s representation that the change in fees would not diminish the quality or quantity of services the Adviser provides to the Fund.
Based on all of the information considered, in particular the information received and considered at its September meeting, as supplemented at the June 2017 meeting, the Board determined that the terms of the Agreement are fair and reasonable and that the approval of the Agreement is in the best interests of the Fund. No single factor was determinative in the Board’s analysis.

Performance Overview (unaudited)
The performance summarized below is historical and does not represent future results. Investment returns and principal value vary, and you may have a gain or loss when you sell shares. Performance data presented measures the change in the value of an investment in the Fund, assuming reinvestment of all dividends and capital gains. Average annual total return reflects annualized change.
The table does not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on Fund distributions or the redemption of Fund shares. The graph compares the results of a $25,000 investment (minimum investment) in the Fund over the last 10 fiscal year periods (which includes performance of the Predecessor Fund), with all dividends and capital gains reinvested, with the indicated indices (and dividends reinvested) for the same period.

1 | The Driehaus Active Income Fund (the “Fund”) performance shown above includes the performance of the Lotsoff Capital Management Active Income Fund (the “Predecessor Fund”) for the periods before the Fund’s registration statement became effective. The Fund received the assets and liabilities of the Predecessor Fund on June 1, 2009 through a reorganization of the Predecessor Fund into the Fund. The Predecessor Fund was a nondiversified fund that was a series of another management investment company registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended. The Fund had no prior operating history prior to succeeding to the assets of the Predecessor Fund. The Fund has substantially similar investment objectives, strategies, and policies as the Predecessor Fund. Financial and performance information of the Fund includes the Predecessor Fund information. |
2 | The Citigroup 3-Month T-Bill Index is designed to mirror the performance of the 3-month U.S. Treasury Bill. The Citigroup 3-Month T-Bill Index is unmanaged and its returns reflect reinvestment of all distributions and changes in market prices. |
3 | The Bloomberg Barclays U.S. Aggregate Bond Index, an unmanaged index, represents securities that are SEC-registered, taxable and dollar denominated. This index covers the U.S. investment grade fixed rate bond market, with index components for government and corporate securities, mortgage pass-through securities and asset-backed securities. These major sectors are subdivided into more specific indices that are calculated and reported on a regular basis. |

Certain bank loans are subject to a LIBOR floor that establishes a minimum LIBOR rate. The interest rate shown reflects the rate in effect at June 30, 2017. Bank loans generally are subject to mandatory and/or optional repayment. As a result, the actual remaining maturity may be substantially less than the stated maturities shown. |

1 | If the Fund is a buyer of protection and a credit event occurs, as defined under the terms of that particular swap agreement, the Fund will either (i) receive from the seller of protection an amount equal to the notional amount of the swap and deliver the referenced obligation or underlying investments comprising the referenced index or (ii) receive a net settlement amount in the form of cash or investments equal to the notional amount of the swap less the recovery value of the referenced obligation or underlying investments comprising the referenced index. |
2 | If the Fund is a seller of protection and a credit event occurs, as defined under the terms of that particular swap agreement, the Fund will either (i) pay to the buyer of protection an amount equal to the notional amount of the swap and take delivery of the referenced obligation or underlying investments comprising the referenced index or (ii) pay a net settlement amount in the form of cash or investments equal to the notional amount of the swap less the recovery value of the referenced obligation or underlying investments comprising the referenced index. |
3 | An implied credit spread is the spread in yield between a U.S. Treasury security and the referenced obligation or underlying investment that are identical in all respects except for the quality rating. Implied credit spreads, represented in absolute terms, utilized in determining the value of credit default swap agreements on corporate and sovereign issues as of period end serve as an indicator of the current status of the payment/performance risk and represent the likelihood of risk of default for the credit derivative. The implied credit spread of a particular referenced entity reflects the cost of buying/selling protection and may include upfront payments required to be made to enter into the agreement. Wider credit spreads, in comparison to narrower credit spreads, represent a deterioration of the referenced entity’s credit soundness and a greater likelihood of risk of default or other credit event occurring as defined under the terms of the agreement. A credit spread identified as “Defaulted” indicates a credit event has occurred for the referenced entity or obligation. |
4 | The maximum potential amount the Fund could be required to pay as a seller of credit protection or receive as a buyer of credit protection if a credit event occurs as defined under the terms of that particular swap agreement. |

A. ORGANIZATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Organization
The Driehaus Mutual Funds (the “Trust”) is an open-end registered management investment company under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, organized as a Delaware statutory trust, with nine separate series currently in operation. The Trust was organized under an Agreement and Declaration of Trust dated May 31, 1996, as subsequently amended and restated as of June 6, 2013 and amended as of June 4, 2015, and may issue an unlimited number of full and fractional units of beneficial interest (shares) without par value. The Driehaus Active Income Fund (the “Active Income Fund”) commenced operations on June 1, 2009 following the receipt of the assets and liabilities of the Lotsoff Capital Management Active Income Fund (the “Acquired Fund”) pursuant to a plan of reorganization approved by the shareholders of the Acquired Fund. The reorganization was accomplished by a tax-free exchange of Acquired Fund shares for an equal number of shares of the Active Income Fund as of June 1, 2009. The Active Income Fund seeks to provide current income and capital appreciation. The Driehaus Select Credit Fund (the “Select Credit Fund”) commenced operations on September 30, 2010. The Select Credit Fund seeks to provide positive returns under a variety of market conditions. Effective as of the close of business on July 27, 2017, the Select Credit Fund was liquidated and dissolved. The Driehaus Event Driven Fund (the “Event Driven Fund”) commenced operations on August 26, 2013, following the receipt of the assets and liabilities of the Driehaus Credit Opportunities Fund, L.P. The Event Driven Fund seeks to provide positive returns over full market cycles. The Driehaus Multi-Asset Growth Economies Fund (the “Multi-Asset Growth Economies Fund” and together with the Active Income Fund, Select Credit Fund and Event Driven Fund, the “Funds”) commenced operations on April 10, 2017, following the receipt of the assets and liabilities of the Driehaus Emerging Markets Dividend Growth Fund, L.P. The Multi-Asset Growth Economies Fund seeks to maximize total return.
Significant Accounting Policies
The presentation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. 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 the reported amounts of income and expenses. Actual results may differ from those estimates.
The Funds, which are investment companies within the scope of Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Update 2013-08, follow accounting and reporting guidance under FASB Accounting Standards Codification Topic 946, Financial Services-Investment Companies.
Securities Valuation
Investments in securities traded on a national securities exchange, including exchange-traded futures and options, are valued at the last reported sales or settlement price on the day of valuation and are generally classified as level 1. Exchange-traded securities for which no sale was reported are valued at the mean of the closing bid and ask prices from the exchange the security is primarily traded on and are generally classified as level 1. Equity certificates are valued at the last sale price of the underlying security as of the close of the primary exchange. Long-term fixed income securities are valued at the representative quoted bid price when held long or the representative quoted ask price if sold short or, if such prices are not available, at prices for securities of comparable maturity, quality and type or as determined by an independent pricing service. The pricing service provider may employ methodologies that utilize actual market transactions, broker-dealer supplied valuations or other techniques. Such techniques generally consider factors such as composite security prices, yields, maturities, call features, credit ratings and developments relating to specific securities, in arriving at valuations. Fixed income securities are generally classified as level 2. Short-term investments with remaining maturities of 60 days or less at the time of purchase are stated at amortized cost, which approximates fair value. If amortized cost does not approximate fair value, short-term securities are reported at fair value. These securities are generally classified as level 2. Swaps, forward foreign currency contracts and other financial derivatives are valued daily, primarily by an independent pricing service using pricing models and are generally classified as level 2. The pricing models use inputs that are observed from actively quoted markets such as issuer details, indices, spreads, interest rates, yield curves, dividends and exchange rates. If valuations are not available from the independent pricing service or values received are deemed not representative of

Notes to Financial Statements (unaudited) — (Continued)
market value, values will be obtained from a third party broker-dealer or counterparty. Investments initially valued in currencies other than the U.S. dollar are converted to the U.S. dollar using exchange rates obtained from an independent pricing service. In addition, for Multi-Asset Growth Economies Fund, if quotations are not readily available, if the values have been materially affected by events occurring after the closing of a foreign market, or if there has been a movement in the U.S. market that exceeds a certain threshold, assets may be valued at fair value as determined in good faith by or under the direction of the Trust’s Board of Trustees. Events that may materially affect asset values that could cause a fair value determination include, but are not limited to: corporate announcements relating to a specific security; natural and other disasters which may impact an entire market or region; and political and other events which may be global or impact a particular country or region. The frequency with which these procedures are used cannot be predicted and may be utilized to a significant extent. To the extent utilized, securities would be considered level 2 in the hierarchy described below. Securities for which market quotations are not readily available are valued at fair value as determined in good faith in accordance with procedures established by or under the direction of the Trust’s Board of Trustees and are generally classified as level 3. Under these procedures, the Funds primarily employ a market-based approach, which may use related or comparable assets or liabilities, recent transactions, market multiples, book values and other relevant information for the investment to determine the fair value of the investment. It is possible that the estimated values may differ significantly from the values that would have been used had a ready market existed for the investments, and such differences could be material.
Each Fund is subject to fair value accounting standards that define fair value, establish the framework for measuring fair value and provide a three-level hierarchy for fair valuation based upon the inputs to the valuation as of the measurement date. The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are as follows:
Level 1 — quoted prices for active markets for identical securities
Level 2 — significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.)
Level 3 — significant unobservable inputs (including the Fund’s own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments).
The Funds adopted the FASB amendments to authoritative guidance which require the Funds to disclose details of transfers in and out of Level 1 and Level 2 measurements and Level 2 and Level 3 measurements and the reasons for the transfers. During the period ended June 30, 2017, there were no transfers between levels for the Active Income Fund, Select Credit Fund, Event Driven Fund and Multi-Asset Growth Economies Fund. It is the Funds’ policy to recognize transfers into and out of all levels at the end of the reporting period.
The inputs or methodology used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities. The following is a summary of the inputs used to value the Active Income Fund’s investments as of June 30, 2017:

As of June 30, 2017, the Active Income Fund held Level 3 investments in General Motors Corp. senior convertible preferred stock, valued at fair value as determined in good faith in accordance with procedures established by or under the direction of the Trust’s Board of Trustees. As a part of the ongoing restructuring of General Motors, any value previously ascribed to these holdings has been transferred to the General Motors Co. Motors Liquidation Co. GUC Trust common stock, which is freely and actively traded, and therefore the senior convertible preferred stock was fair valued at $0.

Securities Sold Short
The Funds are engaged in selling securities short, which obligates them to replace a borrowed security by purchasing it at market price at the time of replacement. Each Fund incurs a loss if the price of the security increases between the date of the short sale and the date on which the Fund replaces the borrowed security. Each Fund realizes a gain if the price of the security declines between those dates. Gains are limited to the price at which the Fund sold the security short, while losses are potentially unlimited in size.
The Funds are required to establish a margin account with the broker lending the security sold short. While the short sale is outstanding, the broker retains the proceeds of the short sale and the Fund must maintain a deposit with the broker consisting of cash and securities having a value equal to a specified percentage of the value of the securities sold short. Such deposit is included in “Collateral held at custodian for the benefit of brokers” on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities. Each Fund is obligated to pay any

dividends or interest due on securities sold short. Such dividends and interest are recorded as an expense to the Funds on the Statements of Operations.
Federal Income Taxes
The Funds’ policy is to comply with the requirements of Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code that are applicable to regulated investment companies and to distribute substantially all their taxable income to their shareholders. Therefore, no Federal income tax provision is required.
The FASB’s “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes” (“Tax Statement”) requires the evaluation of tax positions taken or expected to be taken in the course of preparing the Funds’ tax returns to determine whether the tax positions are “more-likely-than-not” of being sustained by the applicable tax authority. Tax positions not deemed to meet the more-likely-than-not threshold would be recorded as a tax benefit or expense in the current year. Management has evaluated the implications of the Tax Statement and all of the uncertain tax positions and has determined that no liability is required to be recorded in the financial statements as of June 30, 2017. The Funds file tax returns with the U.S. Internal Revenue Service and various states. Taxable years ending 2016, 2015, 2014 and 2013 remain subject to examination by taxing authorities.
For Federal income tax purposes, capital loss carryforwards represent net capital losses of a fund that may be carried forward and applied against future net realized gains. On December 22, 2010, the Regulated Investment Company Modernization Act of 2010 was enacted to modernize several of the Federal income and excise tax provisions related to regulated investment companies. Under pre-enactment law, capital losses could be carried forward for up to eight years, and were required to be carried forward as short-term capital losses, irrespective of the character of the original loss. New net capital losses (those earned in taxable years beginning after December 22, 2010) may be carried forward indefinitely and must retain the character of the original loss.
At June 30, 2017, gross unrealized appreciation and depreciation on investments, based on cost for Federal income tax purposes, were as follows:
Active Income Fund | Select Credit Fund | Event Driven Fund | Multi-Asset Growth Economies Fund | |||||||||||||
Cost of investments | $ | 1,769,859,350 | $ | — | $ | 129,120,154 | $ | 19,372,382 | ||||||||

|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The difference between cost amounts for financial statement and Federal income tax purposes is due primarily to the tax deferral of losses on wash sales.
The amount of dividends and distributions from net investment income and net realized capital gains are determined in accordance with Federal income tax regulations, which may differ from U.S. GAAP.
The tax character of distributions paid were as follows:

Foreign Currency Translation
The value of securities, currencies and other assets and liabilities not denominated in U.S. dollars are translated into U.S. dollar values based upon the current rates of exchange on the date of the Funds’ valuations.
Net realized foreign exchange gains or losses which are reported by the Funds result from currency gains and losses on transaction hedges arising from changes in exchange rates between the trade and settlement dates on forward contract transactions, and the difference between the amounts accrued for dividends, interest, and foreign taxes and the amounts actually received or paid in U.S. dollars for these items. Net unrealized foreign exchange gains and losses result from changes in the U.S. dollar value of assets and liabilities (other than investments in securities), which are denominated in foreign currencies, as a result of changes in exchange rates.
Net realized foreign exchange gains or losses on portfolio hedges result from the use of forward contracts to hedge portfolio positions denominated or quoted in a particular currency in order to reduce or limit exposure in that currency. The Active Income Fund, Event Driven Fund and Multi-Asset Growth Economies Fund held portfolio hedges as of June 30, 2017 as disclosed in the Schedule of Investments.
37
Driehaus Mutual Funds
Notes to Financial Statements (unaudited) — (Continued)
The Funds do not isolate that portion of the results of operations which results from fluctuations in foreign exchange rates on investments. These fluctuations are included with the net realized gain (loss) on investments and the net change in unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on investments.
Indemnifications
Under the Trust’s organizational documents, the officers and Trustees are indemnified against certain liabilities arising out of the performance of their duties to the Trust. In addition, in the normal course of business, the Trust enters into contracts that provide general indemnifications to other parties. A Fund’s maximum exposure under these agreements is unknown as this would involve future claims that may be made against a Fund that have not yet occurred. However, the Funds have not had prior claims or losses pursuant to these contracts and expect the risk of loss to be remote.
Other
The Trust records security transactions based on trade date. Dividend income is recognized on the ex-dividend date, and interest income is recognized on an accrual basis. Discounts and premiums on securities purchased are accreted and amortized over the lives of the respective securities using the effective yield method. Withholding taxes on foreign dividends and interest have been provided for in accordance with the Trust’s understanding of the applicable country’s tax rules and rates.
Pursuant to the terms of certain of the senior unsecured loan agreements, the Funds may have unfunded loan commitments, which are callable on demand. Each Fund will have available with its custodian, cash and/or liquid securities having an aggregate value at least equal to the amount of the unfunded senior loan commitments. At June 30, 2017, the Active Income Fund, Select Credit Fund, Event Driven Fund and Multi-Asset Growth Economies Fund had no unfunded senior loan commitments.
With respect to the senior loans held in each Fund’s portfolio, the Funds may: 1) invest in assignments; 2) act as a participant in primary lending syndicates; or 3) invest in participations. If a Fund purchases a participation of a senior loan interest, the Fund would typically enter into a contractual agreement with the lender or other third party selling the participation, rather than directly with the borrower. As such, the Fund not only assumes the credit risk of the borrower, but also that of the selling participant or other persons interpositioned between the Fund and the borrower. At June 30, 2017, the Funds had no such outstanding senior loan participation commitments.
B. INVESTMENTS IN DERIVATIVES
Each Fund uses derivative instruments such as swaps, futures, options, swaptions and forward foreign currency contracts in connection with their respective investment strategies. During the period January 1, 2017 through June 30, 2017, the Active Income Fund and Select Credit Fund primarily utilized: 1) credit default swaps as alternatives to direct investments to manage exposure to specific sectors/markets/industries and/or credit events and manage volatility; 2) total return swaps to gain exposure to certain sectors and manage volatility; 3) futures to hedge their interest rate and/or commodity risk and manage volatility; 4) options to hedge downside risk and manage volatility; and 5) forward foreign currency contracts to manage currency risk in portfolio holdings. During the period January 1, 2017 through June 30, 2017, the Event Driven Fund primarily utilized: 1) total return swaps to manage exposure to certain sectors; 2) options to both hedge exposure and provide exposure to certain market segments or specific securities; and 3) forward foreign currency contracts to manage currency risk in portfolio holdings. During the period April 10, 2017 through June 30, 2017, the Multi-Asset Growth Economies Fund primarily utilized: 1) interest rate swaps to hedge against interest rate fluctuation and enable the parties involved to exchange fixed and floating cash flows; 2) options to both hedge exposure and provide exposure to certain market segments or specific securities; and 3) forward foreign currency contracts to manage currency risk in portfolio holdings. Detail regarding each derivative type is included below.

Swap Contracts
The Funds are subject to credit risk, volatility risk and interest rate risk exposure in the normal course of pursuing their investment objectives. The Funds engage in various swap transactions, including forward rate agreements and interest rate, currency, volatility, index and total return swaps, primarily to manage duration and yield curve risk, or as alternatives to direct investments.
Interest rate swaps are agreements between two parties to exchange cash flows based on a notional principal amount. The Funds may elect to pay a fixed rate and receive a floating rate or receive a fixed rate and pay a floating rate on a notional principal amount. The net interest received or paid on interest rate swap agreements is accrued daily as interest income/expense. Interest rate swaps are marked-to-market daily using fair value estimates provided by an independent pricing service. Changes in value, including accrued interest, are recorded as unrealized appreciation (depreciation). Unrealized appreciation is reported as an asset and unrealized depreciation is reported as a liability. The change in value of swaps, including accruals of periodic amounts of interest to be paid or received on swaps, is reported as unrealized gains or losses. Gains or losses are realized upon termination of the contracts. The risk of loss under a swap contract may exceed the amount recorded as an asset or a liability.
Total return swap contracts are arrangements to exchange a market linked return for a periodic payment, both based on a notional principal amount, to hedge sector exposure and to manage exposure to specific sectors or industries and/or to gain exposure to specific markets/countries and to specific sectors/industries. To the extent that the total return of the security, index or other financial measure underlying the transaction exceeds or falls short of the offsetting interest rate obligation, the Fund will receive a payment from or make a payment to the counterparty. Total return swap contracts are marked to market daily based upon quotations from market makers and the change, if any, is recorded as an unrealized gain or loss. Payments received or made are recorded as realized gains or losses. Gains or losses are realized upon termination of the contracts. Each Fund’s maximum risk of loss from counterparty risk is the fair value of the contract.
Volatility swaps are forward contracts on the future realized volatility of an underlying instrument. Volatility swaps are generally used to speculate on future volatility levels, trade the spread between realized and implied volatility or hedge volatility exposure of other positions. Changes in value are recorded as unrealized appreciation (depreciation). Unrealized gains are reported as an asset and unrealized losses are reported as a liability. The change in value of swaps is reported as unrealized gains or losses. Gains or losses are realized upon termination of the contracts. The risk of loss under a volatility swap contract is dependent upon the volatility of the underlying instrument.
Under the terms of a credit default swap contract, one party acts as a guarantor receiving a periodic payment that is a fixed percentage applied to a notional amount. In return, the party agrees to purchase the notional amount of the underlying instrument, at par, if a credit event occurs during the term of the contract. Each Fund may enter into credit default swaps in which the Fund acts as guarantor (a seller of protection), and may enter into credit default swaps in which the counterparty acts as guarantor (a buyer of protection). Premiums paid to or by the Funds are accrued daily and included in realized gain (loss) on swaps. The contracts are marked-to-market daily using fair value estimates provided by an independent pricing service. Changes in value are recorded as unrealized appreciation (depreciation). Unrealized gains are reported as an asset and unrealized losses are reported as a liability. The change in value of swaps, including accruals of periodic amounts of interest to be paid or received on swaps is reported as unrealized gains or losses. Gains or losses are realized upon termination of the contracts. The risk of loss under a swap contract may exceed the amount recorded as an asset or a liability. The notional amount of a swap contract is the reference amount pursuant to which the counterparties make payments. For swaps in which the referenced obligation is an index, in the event of default of any debt security included in the corresponding index, the Fund pays or receives the percentage of the corresponding index that the defaulted security comprises (1) multiplied by the notional value and (2) multiplied by the ratio of one minus the ratio of the market value of the defaulted debt security to its par value. The maximum exposure to loss of the notional value as a seller of credit default swaps outstanding at June 30, 2017 for the Active Income Fund, Select Credit Fund, Event Driven Fund and Multi-Asset Growth Economies Fund was 80,000,000 Euros, $0, $0 and $0, respectively.
39
Driehaus Mutual Funds
Notes to Financial Statements (unaudited) — (Continued)
Risks associated with swap contracts include changes in the returns of underlying instruments and/or interest rates, failure of the counterparties to perform under the contracts’ terms and the possible lack of liquidity with respect to the contracts. Credit default swaps can involve greater risks than if an investor had invested in the reference obligation directly since, in addition to general market risks, credit default swaps are subject to counterparty credit risk, leverage risk, hedging risk, correlation risk and liquidity risk. The Funds disclose swap contracts on a gross basis, with no netting of contracts held with the same counterparty. As of June 30, 2017, the Funds had outstanding swap contracts as listed on the Schedule of Investments and the required collateral is included in the Statements of Assets and Liabilities.
Futures Contracts
The Funds may enter into futures contracts to produce incremental earnings, hedge existing positions or protect against market changes in the value of equities or interest rates. Upon entering into a futures contract with a broker, a Fund is required to deposit in a segregated account a specified amount of cash or U.S. government securities. Futures contracts are valued daily and unrealized gains or losses are recorded in a “variation margin” account. Daily, the Fund receives from or pays to the broker a specified amount of cash based upon changes in the variation margin account. When a contract is closed, the Fund recognizes a realized gain or loss. Futures contracts have market risks, including the risk that the change in the value of the contract may not correlate with changes in the value of the underlying securities. With futures contracts, there is minimal counterparty credit risk to the Funds since futures contracts are exchange-traded and the exchange’s clearinghouse, as counterparty to all exchange-traded futures contracts, guarantees the futures contract against default. As of June 30, 2017, the Active Income Fund had outstanding futures contracts as listed in the Schedule of Investments and the required collateral is included in the Statements of Assets and Liabilities. The Select Credit Fund, Event Driven Fund and Multi-Asset Growth Economies Fund had no outstanding futures contracts at June 30, 2017.
Options Contracts
The Funds may use options contracts to hedge downside risk, produce incremental earnings or protect against market changes in the value of equities or interest rates. The Funds may write covered call and put options on futures, swaps, securities or currencies the Funds own or in which they may invest. Writing put options tends to increase a Fund’s exposure to the underlying instrument. Writing call options tends to decrease a Fund’s exposure to the underlying instrument. When a Fund writes a call or put option, an amount equal to the premium received is recorded as a liability and subsequently marked to market to reflect the current value of the option written. These liabilities are reflected as written options outstanding in the Schedule of Investments. Premiums received from writing options that expire are treated as realized gains. Premiums received from writing options that are exercised or closed are added to the proceeds or offset against amounts paid on the underlying future, swap, security or currency transaction to determine the realized gain or loss. A Fund, as a writer of an option, has no control over whether the underlying future, swap, security or currency may be sold (call) or purchased (put) and, as a result, bears the market risk of an unfavorable change in the price of the future, swap, security or currency underlying the written option. The risk exists that a Fund may not be able to enter into a closing transaction because of an illiquid market. In addition, to the extent a Fund purchases an over-the-counter (“OTC”) option, it is subject to credit risk that the counterparty to the trade does not perform under the contract’s terms. The Funds are not subject to credit risk on OTC options written as the counterparty has already performed its obligation by paying the premium at the inception of the contract.
The premium amount and the number of option contracts written by the Multi-Asset Growth Economies Fund during the period from inception through June 30, 2017, were as follows:
Multi-Asset Growth Economies Fund | Number of Contracts | Premium Amount | ||||||
Options outstanding at inception on April 10, 2017 | — | $ | — | |||||
Options written | 1,150 | 17,556 | ||||||

The Funds may also purchase put and call options. Purchasing call options tends to increase a Fund’s exposure to the underlying instrument. Purchasing put options tends to decrease a Fund’s exposure to the underlying instrument. A Fund pays a premium, which is included in its Schedule of Investments as an investment and subsequently marked-to-market to reflect the current value of the option. Premiums paid for purchasing options that expire are treated as realized losses. The risk associated with purchasing put and call options is limited to the premium paid. Premiums paid for purchasing options that are exercised or closed are added to the amounts paid or offset against the proceeds on the underlying future, swap, security or currency transaction to determine the realized gain or loss. When entering into purchased option contracts, a Fund bears the risk of securities prices moving unexpectedly, in which case, a Fund may not achieve the anticipated benefits of the purchased option contracts; however, the risk of loss is limited to the premium paid. As of June 30, 2017, the Funds only held purchased options as listed on the Schedule of Investments and the required collateral is included in the Statements of Assets and Liabilities.

An option on a swap contract, also called a “swaption,” is an option that gives the buyer the right, but not the obligation, to enter into a swap on a future date in exchange for paying a market-based “premium.” A call or receiver swaption gives the owner the right to receive the total return of a specified asset, reference rate, or index swap. A put or payer swaption gives the owner the right to pay the total return of a specified asset, reference rate, or index swap. Swaptions also include options that allow an existing swap to be terminated or extended by one of the counterparties. As of June 30, 2017, the Active Income Fund had outstanding swaptions as listed on the Schedule of Investments. The Select Credit Fund, Event Driven Fund and Multi-Asset Growth Economies Fund had no outstanding swaptions at June 30, 2017.
Forward Foreign Currency Contracts
The Funds use forward foreign currency contracts to manage foreign currency, to produce incremental earnings or to hedge existing positions. A forward foreign currency contract involves an obligation to purchase or sell a specific currency at a future date, which may be any fixed number of days from the date of the contract agreed upon by the parties, at a price set at the time of the contract. These contracts are principally traded in the inter-bank market conducted directly between currency traders (usually large commercial banks) and their customers.
The market value of a forward foreign currency contract fluctuates with changes in currency exchange rates. Outstanding forward foreign currency contracts are valued daily at current market rates and the resulting change in market value is recorded as unrealized appreciation or depreciation. When a forward foreign currency contract is settled, the Fund records a realized gain or loss equal to the difference between the value at the time the forward foreign currency contract was opened and the value at the time it was settled. A forward foreign currency contract may involve market risk in excess of the unrealized gain or loss reflected on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities. In addition, the Funds could be exposed to credit risk if the counterparties are unable or unwilling to meet the terms of the contracts or market risk if the value of the foreign currency changes unfavorably. As of June 30, 2017, the Funds had forward foreign currency contracts as listed in the Schedule of Investments.
Equity Certificates
The Funds may invest in equity certificates, which allow the Funds to participate in the appreciation (depreciation) of the underlying security without actually owning the underlying security. These derivative instruments are purchased pursuant to an agreement with a financial institution and are valued at a calculated market price based on the value of the underlying security in accordance with the agreement. These equity certificates are subject to the credit risk of the issuing financial institution. There is no off-balance sheet risk associated with equity certificates and the Funds’ potential loss is limited to the purchase price of the securities. The Funds are exposed to credit risk associated with the counterparty to the transaction, which is monitored by the Funds’ management on a periodic basis. A Fund’s equity certificates are not subject to any master netting agreement.

Derivative Investment Holdings Categorized by Risk Exposure
Each Fund is subject to the FASB’s “Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities” (the “Derivatives Statement”). The Derivatives Statement amends and expands disclosures about derivative instruments and hedging activities. The Derivatives Statement is intended to improve financial reporting about derivative instruments by requiring enhanced disclosures to enable investors to better understand how and why the Fund uses derivative instruments, how these derivative instruments are accounted for and their effects on the Funds’ financial position and results of operations.

Disclosures about Offsetting Assets and Liabilities
The Funds are party to various agreements, including International Swaps and Derivatives Association Agreements and related Credit Support Annexes (“Master Netting Agreements” or “MNA”), which govern the terms of certain transactions with select counterparties. MNAs are designed to reduce counterparty risk associated with the relevant transactions by establishing credit protection mechanisms and providing standardization as a means of improving legal certainty. As MNAs are specific to the unique operations of different asset types, they allow each Fund to close out and net its total exposure to a counterparty in the event of default with respect to all of the transactions governed under a single agreement with that counterparty. MNAs can also help reduce counterparty risk by specifying collateral posting requirements at pre-arranged exposure levels. Securities and cash pledged as collateral are reflected as assets in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities as either a component of Investment securities at fair value or Collateral held at custodian for the benefit of brokers.
The Funds’ derivative contracts held at June 30, 2017, are not accounted for as hedging instruments under GAAP. For financial reporting purposes, the Funds do not offset financial assets and financial liabilities that are subject to MNAs or similar arrangements on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities. The settlement of futures contracts and exchange-traded purchased options is guaranteed by the clearinghouse or exchange the instrument is traded on and is not subject to arrangements with particular counterparties. For that reason, these instruments are excluded from the below disclosure.

C. INVESTMENT ADVISORY FEES, TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES, AND ADMINISTRATIVE FEES
Richard H. Driehaus, an Interested Trustee of the Trust, is also the Chairman of the Board of Driehaus Capital Management LLC (“DCM” or the “Adviser”), a registered investment adviser, and of Driehaus Securities LLC (“DS LLC” or the “Distributor”), a registered broker-dealer.
DCM serves as the Funds’ investment adviser. In return for its services to the Funds, the Funds pay the Adviser an annual management fee on a monthly basis of 0.55%, 0.80%, 1.00% and 1.00% of average daily net assets, respectively, for the Active Income Fund, Select Credit Fund, Event Driven Fund and Multi-Asset Growth Economies Fund.

For this same time period, DCM is entitled to reimbursement for previously waived fees and reimbursed expenses to the extent that the Multi-Asset Growth Economies Fund’s expense ratio remains below the operating expense cap in place at the time of the waiver and the current operating expense cap. During the period from inception through June 30, 2017, the Multi-Asset Growth Economies Fund had fees waived by DCM in the amount of $33,986 and as of June 30, 2017, this entire amount is subject to recapture.
The Active Income Fund incurred $5,876,487 for investment advisory fees during the period January 1, 2017 through June 30, 2017, of which $935,674 was payable to DCM at June 30, 2017. The Select Credit Fund incurred $206,103 for investment advisory fees during the period January 1, 2017 through June 30, 2017, and $22,055 was payable to DCM at June 30, 2017. The Event Driven Fund incurred $1,067,874 for investment advisory fees during the period January 1, 2017 through June 30, 2017, and $140,659 was payable to DCM at June 30, 2017.

The Funds are permitted to purchase or sell securities from or to certain affiliated funds under specified conditions outlined in procedures adopted by the Board. The procedures have been designed to ensure that any purchase or sale of securities by a Fund from or to another fund or portfolio that is or could be considered an affiliate by virtue of having a common investment adviser (or affiliated investment advisers), common trustees and/or common officers complies with Rule 17a-7 of the 1940 Act. Further, as defined under these procedures, each transaction is affected at the current market price to minimize trading costs, where permissible. For the six months ended June 30, 2017, the Funds engaged in purchases and sales of securities, pursuant to Rule 17a-7 of the 1940 Act, as follows:
Fund | Purchases | Sales | Net Realized Gain (Loss) | |||||||||

An affiliated issuer is an entity in which the Fund has ownership of at least 5% of the voting securities or any investment in a Driehaus Mutual Fund. Issuers that are affiliates of the Fund at period-end are noted in the Fund’s Schedule of Investments. Additional security purchases and the reduction of certain securities shares outstanding of existing portfolio holdings that were not considered affiliated in prior years may result in the Fund owning in excess of 5% of the outstanding shares at period-end. The table below reflects transactions during the period with entities that are affiliates as of June 30, 2017:

1.75%, whichever is greater. There is a commitment fee of 0.10% of the excess of the $50,000,000 committed amount over the sum of the average daily balance of any loans, which is allocated amongst all funds that have access to the line. At June 30, 2017, the Funds had no outstanding borrowings under the line of credit.
G. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
Events or transactions that occurred after the date of this report through the date the report was issued have been evaluated for potential impact to the financial statements. There are no subsequent events that require recognition or disclosure in the financial statements, other than as noted below.

As a mutual fund shareholder, you may incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including sales charges; redemption fees; and exchange fees and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees; distribution (12b-1) and/or service fees; and other fund expenses. This example 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 six month period ended June 30, 2017.
Actual Expenses
The first line of the table below (“Actual”) provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this line, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expense that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the first line under the heading entitled “Expenses Paid During Period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.
Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes
The second line of the tables below (“Hypothetical”) 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. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Fund versus other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds.
Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transactional costs, such as sales charges, redemption fees or exchange fees. Therefore, the second line 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.

Board Considerations in Connection with the Initial Approval of the Investment Advisory
Agreement for Driehaus Multi-Asset Growth Economies Fund
The Board of Trustees of the Driehaus Mutual Funds (the “Trust”), including a majority of the Trustees who are not “interested persons” (as defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended) (the “Independent Trustees”) approved the investment advisory agreement (the “Agreement”) with Driehaus Capital Management LLC (the “Adviser”) for the Driehaus Multi-Asset Growth Economies Fund (the “Fund”) on November 29, 2016. As part of its review process, the Board requested and evaluated all information it deemed reasonably necessary to evaluate the Agreement. The Board reviewed comprehensive materials received from the Adviser and from independent legal counsel. After their review of the information received, the Independent Trustees presented their findings and their recommendation to approve the Agreement to the full Board. In connection with the review, the Board considered the factors discussed below, among others.
Nature, Quality and Extent of Services. The Board considered the nature, extent and quality of services to be provided under the Agreement, including portfolio management services and administrative services. The Board considered the experience and skills of senior management and investment personnel, the resources made available to such personnel, the ability of the Adviser to attract and retain high-quality personnel, and the organizational depth of the Adviser. The Board also considered the Trust’s compliance with legal and regulatory requirements as well as the Adviser’s risk management processes developed for analyzing, reviewing and assessing risk exposure for the Fund. In particular, the Board considered the management team’s experience relevant to managing other products with a multi-asset total return investment strategy of investing in emerging markets, including the performance of the predecessor partnership as compared to the MSCI Emerging Markets Index, the predecessor partnership’s primary benchmark, for the period from July 1, 2015 to October 31, 2016. The Board noted that the predecessor partnership outperformed its primary benchmark for the 15-month period, annualized. The Board also noted that the predecessor partnership outperformed its secondary benchmark, a 50/50 blend of the MSCI Emerging Markets Index and the JP Morgan Global Diversified Unhedged Index, for the 15-month period, annualized. Because the predecessor limited partnership did not operate as a mutual fund and was not subject to certain investment and operational restrictions, the Board factored those differences into its evaluation of the performance information.
On the basis of this evaluation and the Board’s experience with the Adviser in managing other series of the Trust, the Board concluded that the nature, quality and extent of services to be provided by the Adviser are expected to be satisfactory.
Fees. The Board considered the Fund’s proposed advisory fee, estimated operating expenses and total expense ratio in light of the complex skill sets required to manage the Fund. The Board also compared the advisory fee and expense ratio to fees and expense ratios of a peer group of funds based on data compiled from Lipper Analytical Services, Inc., an independent provider of mutual fund data that is a service of Broadridge Financial Solutions (“Lipper”), as of the fiscal year end of each fund in the peer group. The Board considered the Adviser’s statement that the peer group is a long-only investment universe and the broadest possible peer group for the Fund because Lipper does not have an emerging markets long/short or multi-asset peer universe. The Board noted that the Fund’s proposed advisory fee of 1.00% would rank in the 41st percentile of the Lipper peer group actual management fees as of September 30, 2016 (1st percentile would be the highest advisory fee). The Board considered that the Adviser will reimburse the Fund for annual expenses in excess of 1.75% of average daily net assets (excluding interest, taxes, brokerage commissions, dividends and interest on short sales, other investment-related costs and extraordinary expenses) for a three-year period, which would rank the Fund’s expense ratio in the 29th percentile (1st percentile would be the highest expense ratio). In addition, the Board considered that the proposed advisory fee was lower than the advisory fee charged by the Adviser to other “equity” mutual funds that the Adviser manages.
On the basis of the information provided, the Board concluded that the proposed advisory fee was reasonable and appropriate in light of the nature and quality of services expected to be provided by the Adviser.
Profitability and Economies of Scale. In considering the reasonableness of the proposed advisory fee, the Board considered the undertaking by the Adviser to assume the Fund’s organizational expenses as well as to reimburse Fund expenses exceeding a 1.75% cap (other than interest, taxes, brokerage commissions, dividends and interest on short sales, other investment-related costs and extraordinary expenses) for a three-year period.
54
The Board also considered potential economies of scale with respect to the management of the Fund and whether the Fund will benefit from any economies of scale. The Board noted the Adviser’s estimation that it will not earn its full fee until net assets reach approximately $40 million.
Other Benefits to the Adviser and its Affiliates. The Board also considered the character and amount of other incidental benefits to be received by the Adviser and its affiliates. The Board noted that the Adviser expects to earn fall-out benefits in the form of soft dollar credits from its relationship with the Fund. The Board concluded that the proposed advisory fee was reasonable in light of any anticipated fall-out benefits.
Based on all of the information considered and the conclusions reached, the Board determined that the terms of the Agreement for the Fund were fair and reasonable and that the approval of the Agreement is in the best interests of the Fund. No single factor was determinative in the Board’s analysis.
