Dear Shareholder:
The following investment review relates to the performance of the Huber Funds for the six months ended April 30th, 2024:
Market Overview
During the six months ended April 30th, 2024, the S&P 500 Index reached new highs as inflation began to normalize following the conclusion of Federal Reserve rate hikes in July of 2023. Value stocks struggled to keep pace with their growth counterparts, led by AI darling Nvidia which returned +112% over the period.
Select Large Cap Value Fund
The Fund’s Institutional Class shares returned +21.22% over the six months ended April 30th, 2024, compared to the Bloomberg US 1000 Value Index return of +17.73%.
Stock selection drove the majority of the Fund’s outperformance during the period. The largest positive contributors to performance were Eli Lilly, Citigroup, United Rentals, Enova, and Select Medical. The largest detractors were KBR, Herbalife, Northrop Grumman, New Fortress Energy, and Oracle.
Small Cap Value Fund
The Fund’s Institutional Class shares returned +10.89% over the six months ended April 30th, 2024, compared to the Bloomberg US 2000 Value Index return of +17.34%.
Stock selection drove the majority of the Fund’s underperformance during the period. The largest positive contributors to performance were Cipher Pharmaceuticals, JAKKS Pacific, Lyft, Enova, and CSI Compressco. The largest detractors were Comtech, W&T Offshore, Commercial Vehicle Group, C&F Financial, and Herbalife.
Large Cap Value Fund
The Fund’s Institutional Class shares returned +19.91% over the six months ended April 30th, 2024, compared to the Bloomberg US 1000 Value Index return of +17.73%.
Stock selection drove the majority of the Fund’s outperformance during the period. The largest positive contributors to performance were Eli Lilly, Citigroup, Lionsgate, United Rentals, and First Horizon. The largest detractors were KBR, Northrop Grumman, New Fortress Energy, Commercial Vehicle Group, and Oracle.
Mid Cap Value Fund
The Fund’s Institutional Class shares returned +11.86% over the six months ended April 30th, 2024, compared to the Bloomberg US 2500 Value Index return of +17.61%.

Stock selection drove the majority of the Fund’s underperformance during the period. The largest positive contributors to performance were Tenet Healthcare, Citigroup, Enova, United Rentals, and Lyft. The largest detractors were Comtech, Commercial Vehicle Group, Herbalife, W&T Offshore, and Tetra Technologies.
Conclusion
A passive holder of the S&P 500 today has a nearly 35% allocation to the top 10 stocks. We cannot recall a time when the index was more concentrated, as at the peak of the .com bubble the top 10 stocks accounted for roughly 25% of the index. With history as a guide we continue to believe that the price momentum strategy followed by the indices will prove a losing one, and that outperformance will accrue to those committed to a disciplined and detailed bottom-up value strategy. We appreciate your continued trust in us.
Sincerely,
The Huber Capital Management Team
Past performance is not a guarantee of future results.
Mutual fund investing involves risk. Principal loss is possible. The Funds may invest in foreign securities which involve greater volatility and political, economic and currency risks and differences in accounting methods. The risks are greater for investments in emerging markets. Additionally, the Funds are subject to sector emphasis risk meaning that companies in the same or related businesses may comprise a significant portion of a Fund’s portfolio and adversely affect the value of the portfolio to a greater extent than if such business comprised a lesser portion of a portfolio. Investments in initial public offerings (“IPOs”) carry additional risk such as market and liquidity risk and can fluctuate considerably. When a Fund’s asset base is small, the impact of IPOs on the Fund’s performance could be magnified. Investments in smaller companies involve additional risks such as limited liquidity and greater volatility. Small- and medium-capitalization companies tend to have limited liquidity and greater price volatility than large-capitalization companies. Value stocks have a lower expected growth rate in earnings and sales, versus growth stocks.
Fund holdings and sector allocations are subject to change at any time and should not be considered a recommendation to buy or sell any security. Please see the schedule of investments in this report for complete Fund holdings.
Current and future portfolio holdings are subject to risk.
The information provided herein represents the opinion of Huber Capital Management, LLC and is not intended to be a forecast of future events, a guarantee of future results, nor investment advice.
The Bloomberg US 1000 Value Index is screened from the Bloomberg US 1000 Index and is constructed based on a linear combination of risk factors. The four factors are: 1) Earnings Yield, 2) Valuation, 3) Dividend Yield and 4) Growth. The factors are equally weighted when forming a composite signal where Growth is considered to be a negative indicator and thus flipped to be a negative. The Index is market-capitalization-weighted.

The S&P 500® Index, an unmanaged index, consists of 500 stocks chosen for market size, liquidity, and industry group representation. It is a market-value weighted index (stock price times number of shares outstanding), with each stock’s weight in the Index proportionate to its market value.
Indices in general do not reflect the payment of transaction costs, fees and expenses associated with actual investment in the Funds. The Funds’ value disciplines may prevent or restrict investment in major stocks in the benchmark indices. It is not possible to invest directly in an index. The Funds’ returns may not correlate with the returns of their benchmark indexes.
Short term performance may reflect conditions that are unsustainable and thus are unlikely to be repeated in the future.
Diversification does not assure a profit, nor does it protect against a loss in a declining market.

EXPENSE EXAMPLE – April 30, 2024 (Unaudited)
As a shareholder of a mutual fund, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including sales charges (loads) on purchase payments, redemption fees, and exchange fees, and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees, distribution and/or service fees, and other Fund expenses. These Examples are intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Funds and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds. The Example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested in each Fund at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period (11/1/23 – 4/30/24).
Actual Expenses
For each class of the Select Large Cap Value Fund, the Small Cap Value Fund, the Large Cap Value Fund and the Mid Cap Value Fund, two lines are presented in the tables below – the first line for each class provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may be assessed a fee for outgoing wire transfers, returned checks, and stop payment orders at prevailing rates charged by U.S. Bank Global Fund Services, the Funds’ transfer agent. The Examples below include, but are not limited to, management fees, fund accounting, custody and transfer agent fees. 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” for your Fund and class to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.
Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes
For each class of each Fund, the second line for each class provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the respective Fund’s actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Fund’s actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Funds and other 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 transaction costs, such as sales charges (loads), 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 transaction costs were included, your costs would have been higher.

NOTE 1 – ORGANIZATION
The Huber Select Large Cap Value Fund, the Huber Small Cap Value Fund, the Huber Large Cap Value Fund, and the Huber Mid Cap Value Fund (each a “Fund” and collectively, the “Funds”) are each a diversified series of Advisors Series Trust (the “Trust”), which is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, as an open-end management investment company. Each of the Funds has separate assets and liabilities and differing investment objectives. The investment objective of the Huber Select Large Cap Value Fund (the “Select Large Cap Value Fund”), Huber Large Cap Value Fund (the “Large Cap Value Fund”), and the Huber Mid Cap Value Fund (the “Mid Cap Value Fund”) is current income and capital appreciation. The investment objective of the Huber Small Cap Value Fund (the “Small Cap Value Fund”) is capital appreciation. The Funds follow the investment company accounting and reporting guidance of the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standard Codification Topic 946 “Financial Services – Investment Companies”.
The Investor Class of the Select Large Cap Value Fund and the Small Cap Value Fund commenced operations on June 29, 2007. As of October 25, 2011, the former Institutional shares were re-designated as Investor Class shares. The Select Large Cap Value Fund and the Small Cap Value Institutional Classes subsequently commenced operations on October 25, 2011. The Large Cap Value Fund commenced operations on December 31, 2012. The Mid Cap Value Fund commenced operations on December 31, 2015.
NOTE 2 – SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The following is a summary of significant accounting policies consistently followed by the Funds in the preparation of their financial statements. These policies are in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
A. | Security Valuation: All investments in securities are recorded at their estimated fair value, as described in Note 3. | |
B. | Federal Income Taxes: It is the Funds’ policy to comply with the requirements of Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code applicable to regulated investment companies and to distribute substantially all of its taxable income to shareholders. Therefore, no Federal income or excise tax provision is required. | |
The Funds recognize the tax benefits of uncertain tax positions only where the position is “more likely than not” to be sustained assuming examination by tax authorities. The tax returns of the Funds’ prior three fiscal years are open for examination. Management has reviewed all open tax years in major jurisdictions and concluded that there is no impact on the Funds’ net |

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS at April 30, 2024 (Unaudited), Continued
assets and no tax liability resulting from unrecognized tax events relating to uncertain income tax positions taken or expected to be taken on a tax return. The Funds identify their major tax jurisdictions as U.S. Federal and the state of Wisconsin; however, the Funds are not aware of any tax positions for which it is reasonably possible that the total amounts of unrecognized tax benefits will change materially in the next twelve months. | ||
C. | Securities Transactions, Income and Distributions: Security transactions are accounted for on the trade date. Realized gains and losses on securities sold are calculated on the basis of specified cost. Interest income is recorded on an accrual basis. Dividend income and distributions to shareholders are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Withholding taxes on foreign dividends have been provided for in accordance with the Funds’ understanding of the applicable country’s tax rules and rates. | |
Investment income, expenses (other than those specific to the class of shares), and realized and unrealized gains and losses on investments are allocated to the separate classes of each Fund based upon their relative net assets on the date income is earned or expensed and realized and unrealized gains and losses are incurred. | ||
Each Fund is charged for those expenses that are directly attributable to the Fund, such as investment advisory, custody and transfer agent fees. Expenses that are not attributable to a Fund are typically allocated among the Funds in proportion to their respective net assets. Common expenses of the Trust are typically allocated among funds in the Trust based on a fund’s respective net assets, or by other equitable means. | ||
The Funds distribute substantially all net investment income, if any, annually and net realized capital gains, if any, annually. Distributions from net realized gains for book purposes may include short-term capital gains. All short-term capital gains are included in ordinary income for tax purposes. | ||
The amount and character of income and net realized gains to be distributed are determined in accordance with Federal income tax rules and regulations which may differ from accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. To the extent these book/tax differences are permanent, such amounts are reclassified within the capital accounts based on their Federal tax treatment. | ||
D. | Reclassification of Capital Accounts: Accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America require that certain components of net assets relating to permanent differences be reclassified between financial and tax reporting. These reclassifications have no effect on net assets or net asset value per share. |

E. | Use of Estimates: The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of increases and decreases in net assets from operation during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. | |
F. | Redemption Fees: The Funds charge a 1.00% redemption fee to shareholders who redeem shares held for 60 days or less. Such fees are retained by the Funds and accounted for as an addition to paid-in capital. The redemption fees retained by each Fund are disclosed in the statements of changes. | |
G. | REITs: The Funds have made certain investments in real estate investment trusts (“REITs”) which pay dividends to their shareholders based upon funds available from operations. It is quite common for these dividends to exceed the REIT’s taxable earnings and profits resulting in the excess portion of such dividends being designated as a return of capital. The Funds intend to include the gross dividends from such REITs in their annual distributions to its shareholders and, accordingly, a portion of the Funds’ distributions may also be designated as a return of capital. | |
H. | Foreign Currency: Investment securities and other assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollar amounts at the date of valuation. Purchases and sales of investment securities and income and expense items denominated in foreign currencies are translated to U.S. dollar amounts on the respective dates of such transactions. | |
The Funds do not isolate those portions of the results of operations resulting from changes in foreign exchange rates on investments from the fluctuations arising from changes in market prices of securities held. Such fluctuations are included with the net realized and unrealized gain or loss from investments. | ||
Reported net realized foreign exchange gains or losses arise from sales of foreign currencies, currency gains or losses realized between the trade and settlement dates on securities transactions, and the difference between the amounts of dividends, interest, and foreign withholding taxes recorded on the Funds’ books and the U.S. dollar equivalent of the amounts actually received or paid. Net unrealized foreign exchange gains and losses arise from changes in the fair values of assets and liabilities, other than investments in securities at fiscal period-end, resulting from changes in exchange rates. |

I. | Events Subsequent to the Fiscal Period End: In preparing the financial statements as of April 30, 2024, management considered the impact of subsequent events for potential recognition or disclosure in the financial statements. Management has determined there were no subsequent events that would need to be disclosed in the Funds’ financial statements. |
NOTE 3 – SECURITIES VALUATION
The Funds have adopted authoritative fair value accounting standards which establish an authoritative definition of fair value and set out a hierarchy for measuring fair value. These standards require additional disclosures about the various inputs and valuation techniques used to develop the measurements of fair value, a discussion in changes in valuation techniques and related inputs during the period and expanded disclosure of valuation levels for major security types. These inputs are summarized in the three broad levels listed below:
Level 1 – | Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the Funds have the ability to access. | |
Level 2 – | Observable inputs other than quoted prices included in level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly. These inputs may include quoted prices for identical instrument on an inactive market, prices for similar instruments, interest rates, prepayment speed, credit risk, yield curves, default rates, and similar data. | |
Level 3 – | Unobservable inputs for the asset or liability, to the extent relevant observable inputs are not available, representing the Fund’s own assumptions about the assumptions a market participant would use in valuing the asset or liability, and would be based on the best information available. |
Following is a description of the valuation techniques applied to the Funds’ major categories of assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis.
Each Fund determines the fair value of its investments and computes its net asset value per share as of the close of regular trading on the New York Stock Exchange (4:00 EST).
Equity Securities: The Funds’ investments are carried at fair value. Securities that are primarily traded on a national securities exchange shall be valued at the last sale price on the exchange on which they are primarily traded on the day of valuation or, if there has been no sale on such day, at the mean between the bid and asked prices. Securities primarily traded in the NASDAQ Global Market System for which market quotations are readily available shall be valued using the NASDAQ Official Closing Price (“NOCP”). If the NOCP is not available,
47
Huber Funds
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS at April 30, 2024 (Unaudited), Continued
such securities shall be valued at the last sale price on the day of valuation, or if there has been no sale on such day, at the mean between the bid and asked prices. Over-the-counter securities which are not traded in the NASDAQ Global Market System shall be valued at the most recent sales price. The values for foreign securities are reported in local currency and converted to U.S. dollars using currency exchange rates. Exchange rates are provided daily by a recognized independent pricing agent. To the extent, these securities are actively traded, and valuation adjustments are not applied, they are categorized in level 1 of the fair value hierarchy.
Investment Companies: Investments in open-end mutual funds, including money market funds, are generally priced at their net asset value per share provided by the service agent of the funds and will be classified in level 1 of the fair value hierarchy.
Short-Term Securities: Short-term debt securities, including those securities having a maturity of 60 days or less, are valued at the evaluated mean between the bid and asked prices. To the extent the inputs are observable and timely, these securities would be classified in level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.
The Board of Trustees (the “Board”) has adopted a valuation policy for use by the Funds and their Valuation Designee (as defined below) in calculating each Fund’s net asset value (“NAV”). Pursuant to Rule 2a-5 under the 1940 Act, the Board has designated the Fund’s investment adviser, Huber Capital Management, LLC (“Adviser”), as the “Valuation Designee” to perform all of the fair value determinations as well as to perform all of the responsibilities that may be performed by the Valuation Designee in accordance with Rule 2a-5, subject to the Board’s oversight. The Adviser, as Valuation Designee is, authorized to make all necessary determinations of the fair values of portfolio securities and other assets for which market quotations are not readily available or if it is deemed that the prices obtained from brokers and dealers or independent pricing services are unreliable.
Depending on the relative significance of the valuation inputs, fair valued securities may be classified in either level 2 or level 3 of the fair value hierarchy.

beginning after December 15, 2023 and for interim periods within those fiscal years, with early adoption permitted. Management is currently evaluating the impact of these amendments on the Funds’ financial statements.
In October 2022, the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) adopted a final rule relating to Tailored Shareholder Reports for Mutual Funds and Exchange-Traded Funds; Fee Information in Investment Company Advertisements. The rule and form amendments will, among other things, require the Funds to transmit concise and visually engaging shareholder reports that highlight key information. The amendments will require that funds tag information in a structured data format and that certain more in-depth information be made available online and available for delivery free of charge to investors on request. The amendments became effective January 24, 2023. There is an 18-month transition period after the effective date of the amendment.
NOTE 4 – INVESTMENT ADVISORY FEE AND OTHER TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES
The Funds have an investment advisory agreement with the Adviser pursuant to which the Adviser is responsible for providing investment management services to the Funds.

The Select Large Cap Value Fund pays fees calculated at an annual rate of 0.99% based upon the Fund’s average daily net assets for the first $10 billion, 0.75% based upon the Fund’s average daily net assets for the next $10 billion, and 0.50% based upon the Fund’s average daily net assets in excess of $20 billion. The Adviser has agreed to voluntarily reduce the Select Large Cap Value Fund’s contractual management fee from 0.99% to 0.75% through February 28, 2025. The Small Cap Value Fund pays fees calculated at an annual rate of 1.35% based upon the Fund’s average daily net assets for the first $5 billion and 1.00% based upon the Fund’s average daily net assets in excess of $5 billion.

The Funds are responsible for their own operating expenses. The Adviser has contractually agreed to reduce fees payable to it by the Funds and to pay Fund operating expenses (excluding class specific expenses such as the 0.25% 12b-1 fees applied to the Investor Class, 0.15% shareholder servicing fees applied to the Investor Class and 0.10% applied to the Institutional Class of the Mid Cap Value Fund, acquired fund fees and expenses, interest expense, taxes and extraordinary expenses) to the extent necessary to limit the Funds’ aggregate annual operating expenses as follows:
Expense Caps | |||
Select Large Cap Value Fund | 0.99% | ||
Small Cap Value Fund (a) | 1.28% | ||
Large Cap Value Fund | 0.75% | ||
Mid Cap Value Fund | 1.00% | ||
Percent of average daily net assets of the Funds. |
(a) | Effective December 1, 2023, the Advisor has contractually agreed to waive a portion or all of its management fees and pay Huber Small Cap Value Fund expenses in order to limit total annual fund operating expenses (excluding, if applicable, acquired fund fees and expenses, interest, taxes, extraordinary expenses and class specific expenses, such as distribution (12b-1) fees or shareholder servicing plan fees) to 1.28% of average daily net assets of the Fund. Prior to December 1, 2023, the expense cap for the Huber Small Cap Value Fund was 1.35%. |
Any such reduction made by the Adviser in its fees or payment of expenses which are the Funds’ obligation are subject to reimbursement by the Funds to the Adviser, if so requested by the Adviser, in any subsequent month in the 36-month period from the date of the management fee reduction and expense payment if the aggregate amount actually paid by the Funds toward the operating expenses for such fiscal year (taking into account the reimbursement) will not cause the Fund to exceed the lesser of: (1) the expense limitation in place at the time of the management fee reduction and expense payment; or (2) the expense limitation in place at the time of the reimbursement. Any such reimbursement is also contingent upon Board of Trustees review and approval. Such reimbursement may not be paid prior to the Funds’ payment of current ordinary operating expenses. For the six months ended April 30, 2024, the Adviser reduced its fees and absorbed Fund expenses in the amount of $4,630 for the Select Large Cap Value Fund, $45,903 for the Small Cap Value Fund, $68,009 for the Large Cap Value Fund, and $60,884 for the Mid Cap Value Fund.

NOTE 10 – PRINCIPAL RISKS
Below is a summary of some, but not all, of the principal risks of investing in the Funds, each of which may adversely affect a Fund’s net asset value and total return. The Funds’ most recent prospectus provides further descriptions of each Fund’s investment objective, principal investment strategies and principal risks.
• | General Market Risk – Economies and financial markets throughout the world are becoming increasingly interconnected, which increases the likelihood that events or conditions in one country or region will adversely impact markets or issuers in other countries or regions. Securities in the Fund’s portfolio may underperform in comparison to securities in general financial markets, a particular financial market or other asset classes due to a number of factors, including: inflation (or expectations for inflation); interest rates; global demand for particular products or resources; natural |
55
Huber Funds
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS at April 30, 2024 (Unaudited), Continued
disasters or events; pandemic diseases; terrorism; regulatory events; and government controls. U.S. and international markets have experienced significant periods of volatility in recent years and months due to a number of economic, political and global macro factors, which has resulted in disruptions to business operations and supply chains, stress on the global healthcare system, growth concerns in the U.S. and overseas, staffing shortages and the inability to meet consumer demand, and widespread concern and uncertainty. Continuing uncertainties regarding interest rates, rising inflation, political events, rising government debt in the U.S. and trade tensions also contribute to market volatility. Conflict, loss of life and disaster connected to ongoing armed conflict between Ukraine and Russia in Europe and Israel and Hamas in the Middle East could have severe adverse effects on the region, including significant adverse effects on the regional or global economies and the markets for certain securities. The U.S. and the European Union imposed sanctions on certain Russian individuals and companies, including certain financial institutions, and have limited certain exports and imports to and from Russia. The war has contributed to recent market volatility and may continue to do so. | ||
• | Foreign Securities and Emerging Markets Risk – Investments in foreign currencies and foreign issuers are subject to additional risks, including political and economic risks, greater volatility, civil conflicts and war, sanctions or other measures by the United States or other governments, liquidity risks, currency fluctuations, higher transaction costs, delayed settlement, possible foreign controls on investment, expropriation and nationalization risks, and less stringent investor protection and disclosure standards of foreign markets. Events and evolving conditions in certain economies or markets may alter the risks associated with investments tied to countries or regions that historically were perceived as comparatively stable becoming riskier and more volatile. These risks are magnified in countries in “emerging markets.” Emerging market countries typically have less-established market economies than developed countries and may face greater social, economic, regulatory and political uncertainties. In addition, emerging markets typically present greater illiquidity and price volatility concerns due to smaller or limited local capital markets and greater difficulty in determining market valuations of securities due to limited public information on issuers. | |
• | Initial Public Offering Risk – The risk exists that the market value of IPO shares will fluctuate considerably due to factors such as the absence of a prior public market, unseasoned trading, the small number of shares available for trading and limited information about the issuer. The purchase of IPO shares may involve high transaction costs. IPO shares are subject to |

Huber Funds
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS at April 30, 2024 (Unaudited), Continued
market risk and liquidity risk. When the Select Large Cap Value Fund’s asset base is small, a significant portion of the Fund’s performance could be attributable to investments in IPOs, because such investments would have a magnified impact on the Fund. As the Fund’s assets grow, the effect of the Fund’s investments in IPOs on the Fund’s performance probably will decline, which could reduce the Fund’s performance. | ||
• | Value Style Investing Risk – Certain equity securities (generally referred to as value securities) are purchased primarily because they are selling at prices below what an Adviser believes to be their fundamental value and not necessarily because the issuing companies are expected to experience significant earnings growth. The Funds bear the risk that the companies that issued these securities may not overcome the adverse business developments or other factors causing their securities to be perceived by the Adviser to be under-priced or that the market may never come to recognize their fundamental value. A value stock may not increase in price, as anticipated by the Adviser investing in such securities, if other investors fail to recognize the company’s value and bid up the price or invest in markets favoring faster growing companies. A Fund’s strategy of investing in value stocks also carries the risk that in certain markets value stocks will under-perform growth stocks. | |
• | Sector Emphasis Risk – The Adviser’s value investment strategy of identifying investment opportunities through a bottom-up process emphasizing internally generated fundamental research, may from time to time result in the Funds investing significant amounts of their portfolios in securities of issuers principally engaged in the same or related businesses. Market conditions, interest rates and economic, regulatory or financial developments could significantly affect a single business or a group of related businesses. Sector emphasis risk is the risk that the securities of companies in such business or businesses, if comprising a significant portion of the Funds’ portfolios, could react in some circumstances negatively to these or other developments and adversely affect the value of the portfolio to a greater extent than if such business or businesses comprised a lesser portion of a Fund’s portfolio. | |
• | Small-Cap Companies Risk (Small Cap Value Fund only) – Investing in securities of small-sized companies may involve greater volatility than investing in larger and more established companies because companies with small market capitalizations can be subject to more abrupt or erratic share price changes than larger, more established companies. | |
• | Mid-Sized Companies Risk (Mid Cap Value Fund only) – Investing in securities of mid cap companies may involve greater risk than investing in larger, more established companies because they can be subject to more |

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS at April 30, 2024 (Unaudited), Continued
abrupt or erratic share price changes. Smaller companies may have limited product lines, or limited market or financial resources and their management may be dependent on a limited number of key individuals. Securities of these companies may have limited market liquidity and their prices may be more volatile. These stocks present greater risks than securities of larger, more diversified companies. | ||
• | Large-Sized Company Risk (Select Large Cap Value Fund) – The stocks of larger companies may underperform relative to those of small and mid-sized companies. Larger, more established companies may be unable to respond quickly to new competitive challenges like changes in consumer tastes or innovative smaller competitors. In addition, large-cap companies are sometimes unable to attain the high growth rates of successful, smaller companies, especially during extended periods of economic expansion. |

Huber Select Large Cap Value Fund

Huber Large Cap Value Fund
Huber Mid Cap Value Fund
At meetings held on October 18, 2023 and December 14-15, 2023, the Board (which is comprised of three persons, all of whom are Independent Trustees as defined under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended), considered and approved, for another annual term, the continuance of the investment advisory agreement (the “Advisory Agreement”) between Advisors Series Trust (the “Trust”) and Huber Capital Management, LLC (the “Adviser”) on behalf of the Huber Select Large Cap Value Fund (the “Select Large Cap Value Fund”), Huber Small Cap Value Fund (the “Small Cap Value Fund”), Huber Large Cap Value Fund (the “Large Cap Value Fund”) and Huber Mid Cap Value Fund (the “Mid Cap Value Fund”) (collectively, the “Funds”). At both meetings, the Board received and reviewed substantial information regarding the Funds, the Adviser and the services provided by the Adviser to the Funds under the Advisory Agreement. This information, together with the information provided to the Board throughout the course of the year, formed the primary (but not exclusive) basis for the Board’s determination. Below is a summary of the factors considered by the Board and the conclusions that formed the basis for the Board’s approval of the continuance of the Advisory Agreement:
1. | THE NATURE, EXTENT AND QUALITY OF THE SERVICES PROVIDED AND TO BE PROVIDED BY THE ADVISER UNDER THE ADVISORY AGREEMENT. The Board considered the nature, extent and quality of the Adviser’s overall services provided to the Funds, as well as its specific responsibilities in all aspects of day-to-day investment management of the Funds. The Board considered the qualifications, experience and responsibilities of the portfolio manager, as well as the responsibilities of other key personnel of the Adviser involved in the day-to-day activities of the Funds. The Board also considered the resources and compliance structure of the Adviser, including information regarding its compliance program, its chief compliance officer and the Adviser’s compliance record, as well as the Adviser’s cybersecurity program, liquidity risk management program, business continuity plan, valuation procedures, and risk management process. The Board also noted that the Adviser was working towards implementation of newly adopted Securities and Exchange Commission rules applicable to the Fund, including the new tailored shareholder reports. The Board further considered the prior relationship between the Adviser and the Trust, as well as the Board’s knowledge of the Adviser’s operations, and noted that during the course of |
61
Huber Funds
APPROVAL OF INVESTMENT ADVISORY AGREEMENT (Unaudited), Continued
the prior year they had met with certain personnel of the Adviser to discuss the Funds’ performance and investment outlook as well as various marketing and compliance topics. The Board concluded that the Adviser had the quality and depth of personnel, resources, investment processes and compliance policies and procedures essential to performing its duties under the Advisory Agreement and that they were satisfied with the nature, overall quality and extent of such management services. | ||
2. | THE FUNDS’ HISTORICAL PERFORMANCE AND THE OVERALL PERFORMANCE OF THE ADVISER. In assessing the quality of the portfolio management delivered by the Adviser, the Board reviewed the short-term and long-term performance of each Fund as of June 30, 2023, on both an absolute basis and a relative basis in comparison to its peer funds utilizing Morningstar classifications, appropriate securities market benchmarks, a cohort that is comprised of similarly managed funds selected by an independent third-party consulting firm engaged by the Board to assist it in its 15(c) review (the “Cohort”), and the Adviser’s similarly managed accounts, if applicable. While the Board considered both short-term and long-term performance, it placed greater emphasis on longer term performance. When reviewing performance against the comparative Morningstar peer group universe, the Board took into account that the investment objectives and strategies of each Fund, its focus on tax efficiency as well as its level of risk tolerance, may differ significantly from funds in the peer universe. When reviewing the Fund’s performance against broad market benchmarks, the Board took into account the differences in portfolio construction between the Fund and such benchmarks as well as other differences between actively managed funds and passive benchmarks, such as objectives and risks. In assessing periods of relative underperformance or outperformance, the Board took into account that relative performance can be significantly impacted by performance measurement periods and that some periods of underperformance may be transitory in nature while others may reflect more significant underlying issues. | |
Select Large Cap Value Fund: The Board noted that the Fund outperformed the Morningstar peer group average for the one-, three-, five-, and ten-year periods ended June 30, 2023. The Fund underperformed its Cohort average for the one- and ten-year periods, and outperformed for the three- and five-year periods ended June 30, 2023. The Board also reviewed the performance of the Fund against broad-based securities market benchmark, noting that it had outperformed its primary benchmark index for the one-, three- and five-year periods, but underperformed during the ten-year period, all periods ended June 30, 2023. |

Huber Funds
APPROVAL OF INVESTMENT ADVISORY AGREEMENT (Unaudited), Continued
The Board also considered the Fund’s performance compared to the Adviser’s similarly managed composite, noting it outperformed for the one-, three-, five- and ten-year periods ended June 30, 2023. | ||
Small Cap Value Fund: The Board noted that the Fund outperformed the Morningstar peer group average for the one- and three-year periods, but underperformed for the five- and ten-year periods ended June 30, 2023. During this same time the Fund outperformed its Cohort average for the one-year period, performed at the average for the three-year period and underperformed for the five- and ten-year periods. The Board also reviewed the performance of the Fund against broad-based securities market benchmarks, noting that it had outperformed its primary benchmark index for the one- and three-year periods, but underperformed over the five- and ten-year periods ended June 30, 2023. | ||
The Board also considered the Fund’s performance compared to the Adviser’s similarly managed composite, noting it underperformed the similarly managed composite for the one-, three-, five- and ten-year periods ended June 30, 2023. | ||
Large Cap Value Fund: The Board noted that the Fund underperformed the Morningstar peer group average and its Cohort average for the one-, three-, five-, and ten-year periods ended June 30, 2023. The Board also reviewed the performance of the Fund against a broad-based securities market benchmark, noting that it had outperformed its primary benchmark for the one-year period and underperformed for the three-, five-, and ten-year periods ended June 30, 2023. | ||
The Board also considered the Fund’s performance compared to the Adviser’s similarly managed composite, noting it outperformed the similarly managed composite for the one-year period and underperformed for the three-,five-, and ten-year periods ended June 30, 2023. | ||
Mid Cap Value Fund: The Board noted that the Fund underperformed its primary benchmark, the Morningstar peer group average, and its Cohort average for the one-, three-, and five-year periods ended June 30, 2023. | ||
The Board noted that the Adviser represented it had no similarly managed accounts. | ||
3. | THE COSTS OF THE SERVICES TO BE PROVIDED BY THE ADVISER AND THE STRUCTURE OF THE ADVISER’S FEE UNDER THE ADVISORY AGREEMENT. In considering the advisory fee and total expenses of the Funds, the Board reviewed comparisons to the applicable Morningstar peer funds, the Cohort, and the Adviser’s similarly managed |
63
Huber Funds
APPROVAL OF INVESTMENT ADVISORY AGREEMENT (Unaudited), Continued
accounts for other types of clients, as well as all expense waivers and reimbursements, if any, for each Fund. When reviewing fees charged to other similarly managed accounts, the Board took into account the type of account and the differences in the management of that account that might be germane to the difference, if any, in the fees charged to such accounts. | ||
Select Large Cap Value Fund: The Board noted that the contractual advisory fee is 0.99%, but the Adviser has voluntarily lowered this to 0.75%. The Board noted that the Adviser had contractually agreed to maintain an annual expense ratio for the Fund of 0.99% (excluding certain operating expenses and class-level expenses, the “Expense Cap”). The Board noted that the Fund’s management fee (with the voluntary waiver) and net expense ratio were above the median and average of the Cohort. The Board also noted that the net expense ratio was above the average of its Morningstar peer group. The Board found that the contractual management fees charged to the Fund were generally above the fees charged to its institutional separate account clients, noting the Adviser represented that there are higher costs associated with managing the Fund and that the minimum investment amount for the separate account clients is much higher than that of the Fund. | ||
Small Cap Value Fund: The Board noted that the contractual advisory fee is 1.35%, but the Adviser has voluntarily lowered this to 0.99%. The Board noted that the Adviser had contractually agreed to maintain an annual expense ratio for the Fund of 1.35% (excluding certain operating expenses and class-level expenses, the “Expense Cap”). The Board also noted that the Fund’s management fee (with the voluntary waiver) and net expense ratio was above the Cohort average and median. The Board also noted that the net expense ratio was above the average of its Morningstar peer group. The Board found that the management fees charged to the Fund were generally above the fees charged to its institutional separate account clients, noting the Adviser represented that there are higher costs associated with managing the Fund. | ||
Large Cap Value Fund: The Board noted that the contractual advisory fee is 0.75%, but the Adviser has voluntarily lowered this to 0.00%. The Board noted that the Adviser had contractually agreed to maintain an annual expense ratio for the Fund of 0.75% (excluding certain operating expenses and class-level expenses, the “Expense Cap”). The Board noted that the Fund’s net expense ratio was below the Morningstar peer group average. The Board also noted that the Fund’s management fee (with the voluntary waiver) was below the Cohort average and median, while the net expense |

Huber Funds
APPROVAL OF INVESTMENT ADVISORY AGREEMENT (Unaudited), Continued
ratio was at the median and above the average of its Cohort. The Board also considered that after advisory fee waivers and the reimbursement of Fund expenses necessary to maintain the Expense Caps, the Adviser did not receive any advisory fees from the Fund during the year ended June 30, 2023. The Board found that the contractual management fees charged to the Fund were generally above the fees charged to its institutional separate account clients, noting the Adviser represented that there are higher costs associated with managing the Fund. | ||
Mid Cap Value Fund: The Board noted that the contractual advisory fee is 1.00%, but the Adviser has voluntarily lowered this to 0.00%. The Board noted that the Adviser had contractually agreed to maintain an annual expense ratio for the Fund of 1.00% (excluding certain operating expenses and class-level expenses, the “Expense Cap”). The Board noted that the Fund’s management fee (with the voluntary waiver) was below the Cohort average and median. The Board also noted that the Fund’s net expense ratio was above the median and average of the Cohort. The Board also noted that the Fund’s net expense ratio was below the average of its Morningstar peer group. The Board also considered that after advisory fee waivers and the reimbursement of Fund expenses necessary to maintain the Expense Caps, the Adviser did not receive any advisory fees from the Fund during the year ended June 30, 2023. | ||
4. | ECONOMIES OF SCALE. The Board also considered whether economies of scale were being realized by the Adviser that should be shared with shareholders, noting that the Advisory Agreement provides for breakpoints when the Funds reach certain asset levels (beginning at $10 billion for the Select Large Cap Value Fund, $5 billion for the Small Cap Value Fund and $10 billion for the Large Cap Value Fund). The Board noted that these breakpoint levels were significantly above each respective Fund’s current asset level and that they would continue to review economies of scale at asset levels that were below these breakpoint levels. The Board also noted that the Mid Cap Value Fund does not have breakpoints in its advisory fee schedule. The Board noted that the Adviser has contractually agreed to reduce its advisory fees or reimburse Fund expenses so that the Funds do not exceed the specified Expense Caps. The Board also noted that the Adviser had voluntarily reduced each Fund’s advisory fee and continued to waive all or a portion of each Fund’s advisory fee to maintain the Expense Caps, and therefore, at current asset levels, it did not appear that there were additional significant economies of scale being realized by the Adviser that should be shared with shareholders. As a result, the Board concluded that it would continue to monitor economies of scale in the future as circumstances |
65
Huber Funds
APPROVAL OF INVESTMENT ADVISORY AGREEMENT (Unaudited), Continued
changed and assuming asset levels increase. The Board noted that the current breakpoint schedules in the Advisory Agreement may be adjusted if additional significant economies of scale are realized as Fund assets grow such that their economies may be shared with shareholders at lower asset levels than currently provided in the Advisory Agreement. | ||
5. | THE PROFITS TO BE REALIZED BY THE ADVISER AND ITS AFFILIATES FROM THEIR RELATIONSHIP WITH THE FUNDS. The Board reviewed the Adviser’s financial information and took into account both the direct benefits and the indirect benefits to the Adviser from advising the Funds. The Board considered the profitability to the Adviser from its relationship with the Funds and considered any additional material benefits, including benefits received in the form of Rule 12b-1 fees received by the Adviser, “soft dollars” benefits that may be received by the Adviser in exchange for Fund brokerage, and shareholder servicing plan fees received by the Adviser. The Board considered the financial condition of the parent company of the Adviser. The Board considered the parent company’s representations that it would financially support the Adviser when necessary. After such review, the Board determined that the profitability to the Adviser with respect to the Advisory Agreement for each Fund was negative, and that the Adviser had maintained sufficient resources and profit levels to support the services it provides to the Funds. |
No single factor was determinative of the Board’s decision to approve the continuance of the Advisory Agreement for the Select Large Cap Value Fund, Small Cap Value Fund, Large Cap Value Fund and Mid Cap Value Fund, but rather the Trustees based their determination on the total mix of information available to them. Based on a consideration of all the factors in their totality, the Trustees determined that the advisory arrangements with the Adviser, including the advisory fees, were fair and reasonable to the Funds. The Board, including a majority of the Independent Trustees, therefore determined that the continuance of the Advisory Agreement for the Funds would be in the best interests of each Fund and its shareholders.
