Dear Shareholder,
Enclosed is the Annual Report to shareholders of the TFS Market Neutral Fund (ticker: TFSMX), the TFS Small Cap Fund (ticker: TFSSX) and the TFS Hedged Futures Fund (ticker: TFSHX) for the year ended October 31, 2013. On behalf of the investment manager, TFS Capital LLC (“TFS Capital”), I would like to thank you for your continued investment.
In October, TFS Capital announced that there will be a reduction in the advisory fee paid to TFS Capital for all three funds effective January 1, 2014. In addition, the maximum expense ratio of each fund will be reduced. TFS Capital believes these reductions (which are detailed in Note 9 to the financial statements) are in the best interests of the funds’ shareholders and consistent with industry demand for lower fees. TFS Capital believes the fee reductions strengthen the firm’s long-term value proposition.
TFS Market Neutral Fund (ticker: TFSMX)
| | | | Since Inception (9/7/2004) |
TFS Market Neutral Fund | 6.30% | 4.69% | 7.04% | 7.57% |
S&P 500® Index | 27.18% | 16.56% | 15.17% | 7.24% |
Average annual total returns for periods ended October 31, 2013
TFSMX did not produce positive alpha (i.e., the return that cannot be explained by market exposure) in the current fiscal year. While the fund, with a beta in the 0.2-0.3 range, should not be expected to outperform the equity markets when they rise significantly, its return of 6.30% for the fiscal year is below expectations. The shortfall occurred primarily during the months of April and May; excluding those months, TFSMX produced small, but positive, alpha during the remainder of the period. During April and May, TFSMX lost more than 4% of its value, while the S&P 500® Index appreciated by more than 4%. Many of the fund’s short positions rose significantly more than the market, leading to the substantial loss. TFS Capital believes this period of underperformance in TFSMX may have been driven by a “short-squeeze” affecting the portfolio (i.e., a price dislocation that occurs when short positions in thinly traded securities are exited quickly resulting in a rise in price). While TFS Capital believes the impact from this market action may be temporary and could represent a buying opportunity, it is impossible to determine whether prices on certain short positions will improve (i.e., return to pre-short-squeeze levels). Since the end of May, TFSMX has recovered a small portion of the loss in alpha.
TFSMX’s performance over longer periods of time compares more favorably to the overall U.S. equity market as measured by the S&P 500® Index. From inception through October 31, 2013, TFSMX generated a 7.57% average annual return and had an annualized standard deviation of 7.98%, whereas the S&P 500® Index generated a 7.24% average annual return and had an annualized standard deviation of 21.07%. Therefore, during this time period, TFSMX produced an average annual return that was slightly ahead of the S&P 500® Index while subjecting investors to only 35.9% of the S&P 500® Index’s volatility. Based on its trailing 5-year return through October 31, 2013, TFSMX was ranked #5 among 41 funds in the Lipper “Equity Market Neutral” category.1
The strategies used in managing TFSMX have resulted in its returns having a low correlation to other asset classes. According to Modern Portfolio Theory, portfolios may benefit by combining non-correlated investments. For your reference, below are the TFS Market Neutral Fund’s correlations to several other asset classes since inception. It is notable that TFSMX’s correlation to the equity indices has increased in recent years.
| Correlation Since Inception |
S&P 500® Index | 0.61 |
Russell 2000® Index | 0.60 |
MSCI EAFE Index | 0.50 |
Barclays U.S. Aggregate Bond Index | -0.17 |
Dow Jones REIT ETF Index | 0.43 |
Dow Jones Commodity Futures | 0.44 |
The TFS Market Neutral Fund continues to operate under a subscription policy that limits additional shareholder investments. Given its investment strategies’ capacity limitations, this policy allows the TFS Market Neutral Fund to seek stability in its net assets and maintain control of its growth.
TFS Small Cap Fund (ticker: TFSSX)
| | | | Since Inception (3/7/2006) |
TFS Small Cap Fund | 44.15% | 20.09% | 25.03% | 12.37% |
Russell 2000® Index | 36.28% | 17.69% | 17.04% | 7.13% |
Average annual total returns for periods ended October 31, 2013
During the fiscal year, TFSSX outperformed its benchmark, the Russell 2000® Index. Given its “long-only” mandate, TFSSX is expected to have a high correlation to U.S. small-cap equity market movements with most of the performance deviation attributable to TFS Capital’s equity selection. All strategies contributed to the outperformance, and we are pleased that the fund added such significant alpha.
TFSSX also achieved its objective of outperforming the Russell 2000® Index over longer periods of time. In fact, it now has over a 7-year track record and has achieved an average annual return since inception that is 524 basis points higher than that of the Russell 2000® Index. Based on its trailing 5-year return through October 31, 2013, TFSSX was ranked #9 among 578 funds in the Lipper Small Cap Core category.2
TFS Hedged Futures Fund (ticker: TFSHX)
| | Since Inception (12/29/2011) |
TFS Hedged Futures Fund | -8.14% | 0.76% |
S&P Diversified Trends Indicator | 4.53% | -4.95% |
S&P 500® Index | 27.18% | 22.24% |
Average annual total return for the periods ended October 31, 2013
TFSHX, a hedged futures fund, was down 8.14% during the fiscal year. This loss was due primarily to losses in its commodities investments, as well as a smaller loss from financial futures. We are disappointed in this performance. We made some changes to the investment models in the fund in an effort to capture more of the opportunities we see in the market and realize greater risk-adjusted returns.
Like the TFS Market Neutral Fund, the TFS Hedged Futures Fund has demonstrated a low correlation to many market indices. This low correlation suggests the addition of the TFS Hedged Futures Fund may improve the risk-adjusted performance of many investment portfolios. The TFS Hedged Futures Fund has had a slightly negative correlation to the S&P Diversified Trends Indicator, which suggests that it may also have a low correlation to other managed-futures mutual funds that track this index. The TFS Hedged Futures Fund also has a low correlation to the TFS Market Neutral Fund which suggests that these two investments may complement each other in an investment portfolio. For your reference, below are the TFS Hedged Futures Fund’s correlations since inception to several other asset classes including the TFS Market Neutral Fund.
| Correlation Since Inception |
TFS Market Neutral Fund (ticker: TFSMX) | 0.29 |
S&P Diversified Trends Indicator | -0.09 |
S&P 500® Index | 0.24 |
Russell 2000® Index | 0.27 |

As always, we do not recommend allocating a high percentage of one’s assets to any one investment fund managed by TFS Capital given the risks inherent in each product. Rather, we believe that they are best used as a component of a diversified portfolio of investments. If you have any questions regarding this material, please contact us.
Best regards,
Larry S. Eiben

The performance data quoted represents past performance, which is not a guarantee of future results. Current performance may be lower or higher than the performance data quoted. The investment return and principal value of an investment in the mutual funds discussed in this report (the “Funds”) will fluctuate so that an investor’s shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. During the reporting period, the Funds charged a 2% redemption penalty on shares invested for less than 90 days. If shares were redeemed within the 90 day period, investment returns would have been reduced from those shown above. Fee reductions and/or expense reimbursements by the Adviser have positively impacted the Funds’ performance. Without such reductions and/or reimbursements, performance would have been lower. An investor should consider the investment objectives, risks, charges and expenses of the Funds carefully before investing.

2. Significant Accounting Policies
The following is a summary of the Funds’ significant accounting policies. The policies are in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”).
Securities, options and futures valuation – The Funds’ portfolio securities are valued as of the close of regular trading on the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) (generally 4:00 p.m., Eastern time) on each business day the NYSE is open. Securities listed on the NYSE or other exchanges are valued on the basis of their last sale prices on the exchanges on which they are primarily traded. If there are no sales on that day, the securities are valued at the closing bid price on the NYSE or other primary exchange for long positions and at the closing ask price for short positions for that day. Securities which are quoted by NASDAQ are valued at the NASDAQ Official Closing Price. If there are no sales on that day, the securities are valued at the mean between the closing bid and ask prices as reported by NASDAQ. Option contracts are valued at the closing price as quoted on the exchanges on which they are primarily traded. If no closing price is readily available at the time of valuation, the option will be valued at the closing bid price for that day. Futures contracts are generally valued at the last quoted sales price on the applicable valuation date. Futures contracts that trade on exchanges that close before 4:00 p.m. Eastern time
TFS CAPITAL INVESTMENT TRUST
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)
are valued at the official settlement price of the primary exchange on which it is traded. Prices for these futures contracts are monitored daily by the Adviser until 4:00 p.m. Eastern time to determine if fair valuation is required. Other assets and securities for which no quotations are readily available are valued at fair value as determined in good faith under the supervision of the Board of Trustees of the Trust (the “Board”) and will be classified as Level 3 within the fair value hierarchy (see below).
GAAP establishes a single authoritative definition of fair value, sets out a framework for measuring fair value and requires additional disclosures about fair value measurements.
The Funds’ investments, securities sold short, and option and futures contracts have been categorized based upon a fair value hierarchy in accordance with the Financial Accounting Standards Board’s guidance on fair value measurement. The levels of the fair value hierarchy and their applicability to the Funds are described below:
• | Level 1 inputs utilize quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities at the reporting date. Level 1 assets and liabilities may include most common stocks, preferred stocks, closed-end funds, exchange-traded funds and notes, warrants, option contracts, futures contracts and money market funds. |
• | Level 2 inputs utilize inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly. Level 2 inputs may include quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets and quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities that are not active. Assets and liabilities included in this category may include common stocks and warrants that trade infrequently or their trading has been temporarily halted and U.S. treasury obligations and corporate bonds with values that are based on prices provided by an independent pricing service that utilizes various “other significant observable inputs” including bid and ask quotations, prices of similar securities and interest rates, among other factors. |
• | Level 3 inputs are unobservable inputs for the asset or liability and include situations where there is little, if any, market activity for the asset or liability. |
The inputs or methodologies used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risks associated with investing in those securities. The inputs used to measure fair value may fall into different levels of the fair value hierarchy. In such cases, for disclosure purposes, the level in the fair value hierarchy within which the fair value measurement falls in its entirety is determined based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement. The Funds’ assessment of the significance of a particular input to the fair value measurement in its entirety requires judgment and considers factors specific to the asset or liability.
The availability of observable inputs can vary from product to product and is affected by a wide variety of factors, including, for example, the type of product, whether the product is new and not yet established in the marketplace, and other characteristics particular to the transaction. To the extent that valuation is based on models or inputs that are less observable or unobservable in the market, the determination of fair value requires more judgment. Accordingly, the degree of judgment exercised by the Funds in determining fair value is greatest for instruments categorized as Level 3.

Share valuation – The net asset value per share of each Fund is calculated daily by dividing the total value of its assets, less liabilities, by the number of shares outstanding. The offering price and redemption price per share of each Fund is equal to the net asset value per share, except that shares are subject to a redemption fee of 2% if redeemed within 90 days of the date of purchase.
During the years ended October 31, 2013 and October 31, 2012, proceeds from redemption fees totaled $170,982 and $131,452, respectively, for TFS Market Neutral Fund, $7,160 and $7,846, respectively, for TFS Small Cap Fund and $48,752 and $5,865, respectively, for TFS Hedged Futures Fund.

Investment income (expense) – Dividend income (expense) is recorded on the ex-dividend date. Interest income is accrued as earned. Discounts and premiums on fixed income securities are amortized using the interest method.
Security transactions – Security transactions are accounted for on the trade date. Gains and losses on securities sold are determined on a specific identification basis.
Distributions to shareholders – Distributions to shareholders arising from net investment income and net realized capital gains, if any, are distributed at least once each year. The amount of distributions from net investment income and net realized gains are determined in accordance with federal income tax regulations, which may differ from GAAP. These “book/tax” differences are permanent in nature and are primarily due to differing treatments of net short-term gains. The tax character of distributions paid by the Funds during the periods ended October 31, 2013 and October 31, 2012 was as follows:

| 10/31/2012 | | $ | — | | | $ | — | | | $ | — | |
Short positions – The Funds may sell securities short. For financial statement purposes, an amount equal to the settlement amount is included in the Statements of Assets and Liabilities as an asset and an equivalent liability is then subsequently marked-to-market daily to reflect the current value of the short position. Subsequent fluctuations in the market prices of securities sold, but not yet purchased, may require purchasing the securities at prices which may differ from the market value reflected on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities. The Funds are liable for any dividends payable on securities while those securities are in a short position and will also bear other costs, such as charges for the prime brokerage accounts, in connection with the short positions. These costs are reported as brokerage expense on securities sold short in the Statements of Operations. As collateral for its short positions, the Funds are required under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (“1940 Act”) to maintain assets consisting of cash, cash equivalents or liquid securities equal to the market value of the securities sold short. The deposits with brokers for securities sold short are reported on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities. The amount of the collateral is required to be adjusted daily to reflect changes in the value of the securities sold short. TFS Market Neutral Fund and TFS Hedged Futures Fund both engage in short selling as a principal investment strategy while TFS Small Cap Fund does not. TFS Small Cap Fund currently intends to limit its exposure to short positions, if any, to 5% of its net assets.
TFS CAPITAL INVESTMENT TRUST
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)
Option contracts – The Funds may use option contracts in any manner consistent with their investment objectives and as long as their use is consistent with relevant provisions of the 1940 Act. The Funds may use options for speculative investment purposes as well as for the purpose of seeking to reduce the overall investment risk that would otherwise be associated with the securities in which a Fund invests. When a Fund writes an option, an amount equal to the net premium (the premium less the commission) received by the Fund is recorded as a liability in the Fund’s Statement of Assets and Liabilities and is subsequently marked-to-market daily. Premiums received from writing options which expire are treated as realized gains. Premiums received from writing call options which are exercised increase the proceeds used to calculate the realized gain or loss on the sale of the security. Premiums received from writing put options which are exercised increase the basis of the security purchased. If a closing purchase transaction is used to terminate a Fund’s obligation on an option, a gain or loss will be realized, depending upon whether the price of the closing purchase transaction is more or less than the premium previously received on the option written.
Futures contracts – TFS Market Neutral Fund and TFS Hedged Futures Fund are subject to equity price risk, interest rate risk, foreign currency exchange rate risk, and commodity risk in the normal course of pursuing their investment objectives. The Funds may use futures contracts to gain exposure or to hedge against changes in the value of equities, interest rates, foreign currencies or commodities. A futures contract represents a commitment for the future purchase or sale of an asset at a specified price on a specified date. When the Fund purchases or sells a futures contract, no price is paid to or received by the Fund upon the purchase or sale of the futures contract. Instead, the Fund is required to deposit in a segregated asset account an amount of cash or qualifying securities currently ranging from 5% to 15% of the contract amount. This is called the “initial margin deposit.” Subsequent payments, known as “variation margin,” are made or received by the Fund each day, depending on the daily fluctuations in the fair value of the underlying asset. The Fund recognizes an unrealized gain or loss equal to the daily variation margin. If market conditions move unexpectedly, the Fund may not achieve the anticipated benefits of the futures contracts and may realize a loss. The margin deposits for futures contracts and the variation margin receivable and/or payable are reported on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities.
Estimates – The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities as of the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of income and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Common expenses – Common expenses of the Trust are allocated between the Funds based on the relative net assets of each Fund or the nature of the services performed and the relative applicability to each Fund.
Foreign Currency Translation – Amounts denominated in or expected to settle in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollars based on exchange rates on the following basis:
| A. | The value of investment securities and other assets and liabilities are translated at exchange rates as of the NYSE close each day. |
TFS CAPITAL INVESTMENT TRUST
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)
| B. | Purchases and sales of investment securities and income and expenses are translated at the rate of exchange prevailing on the respective date of such transactions. |
| C. | The Funds do not isolate that portion of the results of operations caused by changes in foreign exchange rates on investments from those caused by changes in market prices of securities held. Such fluctuations are included with the net realized and unrealized gains or losses on investments. |
Reported net realized foreign exchange gains or losses arise from 1) purchases and sales of foreign currencies, 2) currency gains or losses realized between the trade and settlement dates on securities transactions and 3) the difference between the amounts of dividends, interest and foreign withholding taxes recorded on a Fund’s books and the U.S. dollar equivalent of the amounts actually received or paid. Reported net unrealized foreign exchange gains and losses arise from changes in the value of assets and liabilities that result from changes in exchange rates.
Forward Foreign Currency Exchange Contracts – TFS Market Neutral Fund may use forward foreign currency exchange contracts to hedge exposure to foreign currency. TFS Hedged Futures Fund may invest in currency forwards for speculative purposes. When the Adviser believes that the currency of a particular country may produce positive returns against the currency of another country, the Funds may purchase or sell currency forward contracts to gain exposure to the differential in currency returns. All foreign currency exchange contracts are “marked-to-market” daily at the applicable translation rates resulting in unrealized gains or losses. Realized and unrealized gains or losses from transactions in foreign currency exchange contracts will be included in the Fund’s Statement of Assets and Liabilities and Statement of Operations. Risks associated with these contracts include the potential inability of counterparties to meet the terms of their contracts and unanticipated movements in the value of a foreign currency relative to the U.S. dollar.
Federal income tax – The tax year end is October 31st for TFS Market Neutral Fund and TFS Small Cap Fund and December 31st for TFS Hedged Futures Fund. It is each Fund’s intention to qualify as a regulated investment company under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 (the “Code”). Qualification generally will relieve the Funds of liability for federal income taxes to the extent 100% of their net investment income and net realized gains are distributed in accordance with the Code.
In order to avoid imposition of the excise tax applicable to regulated investment companies, it is also each Fund’s intention to declare as dividends in each calendar year at least 98% of its ordinary income (net investment income and specified gains and losses) and 98.2% of its net realized capital gains plus undistributed amounts from prior years.

The difference between the federal income tax cost of portfolio investments and securities sold short and the financial statement cost for TFS Market Neutral Fund and TFS Small Cap Fund is due to certain timing differences in the recognition of capital gains or losses under GAAP. These “book/tax” differences are temporary in nature and are primarily due to the tax deferral of losses on wash sales. The tax cost of portfolio investments for TFS Hedged Futures Fund is equal to the financial statement cost disclosed.
For the year ended October 31, 2013, TFS Market Neutral Fund reclassified $26,798 of net realized gains from foreign currency transactions against accumulated net investment income, $135,379,964 of net investment loss against accumulated net realized gains from security transactions and $1,395 of accumulated net realized losses against paid-in capital on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. For the year ended October 31, 2013, TFS Small Cap Fund reclassified $228,951 of accumulated net investment losses against accumulated net realized gains from security transactions on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. For the tax year ended December 31, 2012, TFS Hedged Futures Fund reclassified $1,402,106 of accumulated net investment losses and $589,817 of accumulated net realized capital losses against paid-in capital on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. For the year ended October 31, 2013, TFS Hedged Futures Fund reclassified $1,151,993 of net realized losses from foreign currency transactions against accumulated net investment loss on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Such reclassifications, the result of permanent differences between the financial statement and income tax reporting requirements, have no effect on the Funds’ net assets or net asset value per share.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)
The Funds recognize tax benefits or expenses of uncertain tax positions only when the position is “more likely than not” to be sustained assuming examination by tax authorities. Management has reviewed the tax positions taken on federal income tax returns for all open tax periods (October 31, 2010 through October 31, 2013) of each Fund, as applicable, and has concluded that no provision for unrecognized tax benefits or expenses is required in these financial statements and does not expect this to change over the next twelve months. Each Fund identifies its major tax jurisdiction as U.S. Federal.

Advisory fee reductions and expense reimbursements by the Adviser are subject to repayment by the applicable Fund for a period of three years after such fees and expenses were incurred, provided that such repayments do not cause ordinary operating expenses to exceed the expense caps of 2.50%, 1.75% and 2.30%, respectively, for TFS Market Neutral Fund, TFS Small Cap Fund and TFS Hedged Futures Fund.

6. Investments in Other Investment Companies
In order to maintain sufficient liquidity to implement investment strategies, or for temporary defensive purposes, each Fund may invest a significant portion of its assets in shares of one or more money market mutual funds. An investment in a money market mutual fund is not insured or guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or any other governmental agency, entity or person. While investor losses in money market mutual funds have been rare, they have occurred. In addition, additional indirect expenses will be incurred due to acquired fund fees and other costs to the extent of the investment in shares of money market mutual funds. As of October 31, 2013, TFS Hedged Futures Fund had 64.1% of the value of its net assets invested in money market mutual funds registered under the 1940 Act. As of October 31, 2013, TFS Market Neutral Fund and TFS Small Cap Fund did not have a significant portion of their assets in shares of money market mutual funds.
7. Contingencies and Commitments
The Funds indemnify the Trust’s officers and Trustees for certain liabilities that might arise from their performance of their duties to the Funds. Additionally, in the normal course of business the Funds enter into contracts that contain a variety of representations and warranties and which provide general indemnifications. The Funds’ maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown, as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Funds that have not yet occurred. However, based on experience, the Funds expect the risk of loss to be remote.
8. Recent Accounting Pronouncement
In December 2011, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2011-11, Balance Sheet (Topic 210): Disclosures about Offsetting Assets and Liabilities. The amendments in ASU No. 2011-11 enhance disclosures about offsetting
TFS CAPITAL INVESTMENT TRUST
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)
of financial assets and liabilities to enable investors to understand the effect of these arrangements on a fund’s financial position. In January 2013, FASB issued ASU No. 2013-01, Balance Sheet (Topic 210): Clarifying the Scope of Disclosures about Offsetting Assets and Liabilities. The amendments in ASU No. 2013-01 clarify the intended scope of disclosures required by ASU No. 2011-11. These ASUs are effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2013. Management believes the adoption of these ASUs will not have a material impact on the financial statements.
9. Subsequent Events
The Funds are required to recognize in the financial statements the effects of all subsequent events that provide additional evidence about conditions that existed as of the date of the Statements of Assets and Liabilities. For non-recognized subsequent events that must be disclosed to keep the financial statements from being misleading, the Funds are required to disclose the nature of the event as well as an estimate of its financial effect, or a statement that such an estimate cannot be made. Management has evaluated subsequent events through the issuance of these financial statements and has noted no such events except as reflected in the following paragraphs:
The Board of Trustees of the Trust approved the discontinuance of the redemption fee for the Funds, effective January 1, 2014.
The Board of Trustees also approved the following reductions of each Fund’s investment advisory fees (hereafter referred to as “Management Fees”) and contractual annual fund operating expenses limitations, effective January 1, 2014:
|
Current Management Fees: | 2.25% per annum |

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED
PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
The Board of Trustees and Shareholders of
TFS Capital Investment Trust:
We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities of TFS Market Neutral Fund, TFS Small Cap Fund and TFS Hedged Futures Fund (collectively the “Funds”) each a series of the TFS Capital Investment Trust (the “Trust”), including the summary schedule of investments and summary of securities sold short for TFS Market Neutral Fund, the summary schedule of investments for TFS Small Cap Fund, and the schedule of investments, schedule of futures contracts, and schedule of futures contracts sold short for TFS Hedged Futures Fund, as of October 31, 2013, and the related statement of operations, the statement of changes in net assets, and the financial highlights for the year then ended. These financial statements and financial highlights are the responsibility of the Funds’ management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and financial highlights based on our audits. The statements of changes in net assets and financial highlights presented herein for the years ended October 31, 2012 and prior were audited by another registered public accounting firm whose report dated December 24, 2012 expressed an unqualified opinion on those financial statements.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements and financial highlights are free of material misstatement. We were not engaged to perform an audit of the Funds’ internal control over financial reporting. Our audits included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Funds’ internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements and financial highlights, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of October 31, 2013, by correspondence with the custodian and brokers or by other appropriate auditing procedures where replies from brokers were not received. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements and financial highlights referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial positions of each of the Funds constituting TFS Capital Investment Trust at October 31, 2013, the results of their operations, the changes in their net assets, and the financial highlights for the year then ended, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

ABOUT YOUR FUNDS’ EXPENSES (Unaudited)
We believe it is important for you to understand the impact of costs on your investment. As a shareholder of the Funds, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including redemption fees; and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees and other Fund expenses. The following examples are intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Funds and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds.
A mutual fund’s ongoing costs are expressed as a percentage of its average net assets. This figure is known as the expense ratio. The ongoing costs reflected in the table are based on an investment of $1,000 made at the beginning of the most recent semi-annual period (May 1, 2013) and held until the end of the period (October 31, 2013).
The table below illustrates each Fund’s ongoing costs in two ways:
Actual fund return – This section helps you to estimate the actual expenses that you paid over the period. The “Ending Account Value” shown is derived from each Fund’s actual return, and the third column shows the dollar amount of operating expenses that would have been paid by an investor who started with $1,000 in the Funds. You may use the information here, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period.
To do so, simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number given for the Funds under the heading “Expenses Paid During Period.”
Hypothetical 5% return – This section is intended to help you compare each Fund’s ongoing costs with those of other mutual funds. It assumes that each Fund had an annual return of 5% before expenses during the period shown, but that the expense ratio is unchanged. In this case, because the return used is not each Fund’s actual return, the results do not apply to your investment. The example is useful in making comparisons because the SEC requires all mutual funds to calculate expenses based on a 5% return. You can assess each Fund’s ongoing costs by comparing this hypothetical example with the hypothetical examples that appear in shareholder reports of other funds.
Note that expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight and help you compare ongoing costs only. The calculations below assume no shares were bought or sold during the period. Your actual costs may have been higher or lower, depending on the amount of your investment and the timing of any purchases or redemptions.
More information about each Fund’s expenses, including annualized expense ratios, can be found in this report. For additional information on operating expenses and other shareholder costs, please refer to each Fund’s summary prospectus.

BOARD OF TRUSTEES AND OFFICERS (Unaudited)

CHANGE IN INDEPENDENT AUDITOR
On December 18, 2012, Deloitte & Touche LLP (“D&T”) was replaced as independent auditor of the Funds, and Ernst & Young LLP (“EY”) was selected as the Funds’ new independent auditor. The Funds’ selection of EY as its independent auditor was recommended and approved by the Trust’s Audit Committee and was ratified by the Trust’s Board of Trustees.
D&T’s reports on the Funds’ financial statements for the prior two fiscal years did not contain an adverse opinion or a disclaimer of opinion, and were not qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope or accounting principles. During such fiscal years, and through the date of D&T’s replacement, there were no disagreements between the Trust and D&T on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedures, which disagreements, if not resolved to the satisfaction of D&T, would have caused it to make reference to the subject matter of the disagreements in connection with its reports on the financial statements for such years. Prior to December 18, 2012, EY was not contacted during the prior two fiscal years regarding the application of accounting principles to any particular financial matter.

APPROVAL OF INVESTMENT ADVISORY AGREEMENTS
(Unaudited)
The Board of Trustees, including the Independent Trustees voting separately, have reviewed and approved the continuance of the Investment Advisory Agreements (the “Advisory Agreements”) with the Adviser for TFS Market Neutral Fund, TFS Small Cap Fund and TFS Hedged Futures Fund. These approvals took place at a Board meeting held on June 17-18, 2013, at which all of the Independent Trustees were present in person.
The Trustees were advised by independent counsel of their fiduciary obligations in approving the Advisory Agreements and the Trustees requested such information from the Adviser as they deemed reasonably necessary to evaluate the terms of the Agreements and whether the Agreements continue to be in the best interests of the Funds and their shareholders. The Trustees reviewed: (i) the nature, extent and quality of the services provided by the Adviser; (ii) the investment performance of each Fund and the Adviser; (iii) the cost of the services provided and the profits realized by the Adviser and its affiliates from their relationships with the Funds and the financial strength of the Adviser; (iv) the extent to which economies of scale would be realized as the Funds grow larger; (v) whether advisory fee levels reflect these economies of scale for the benefit of Fund shareholders; (vi) comparisons of services rendered to and fees paid by the Funds with the services provided by and the fees paid to other investment advisers or the services provided to and the fees paid by other clients of the Adviser; and (vii) any ancillary benefits derived or to be derived by the Adviser from its relationship with the Funds. The Trustees reviewed the background, qualifications, education and experience of the Adviser’s investment and operational personnel, as well as staffing levels of the Adviser. The Trustees also discussed and considered the quality of administrative and other services provided to the Trust, the Adviser’s compliance program, and the Adviser’s role in coordinating such services and programs. The Independent Trustees were provided with a list of intermediaries who are authorized to sell shares of the Funds and the fees paid by the Adviser to such intermediaries since inception of each agreement. The Independent Trustees were advised by experienced independent counsel throughout the process. Prior to voting on the Advisory Agreements, the Independent Trustees reviewed the Agreements with management and also met in a private session with counsel at which no representatives of the Adviser were present.
Below is a summary of the discussions and findings of the Trustees in regard to the approvals of the Advisory Agreements.
(i) | The nature, extent, and quality of the services provided by the Adviser. In this regard, the Independent Trustees reviewed the services being provided to the Funds by the Adviser. They discussed the responsibilities of the Adviser under the Advisory Agreements and the Adviser’s compensation under the Advisory Agreements. The Independent Trustees reviewed the background and experience of the Adviser’s key investment and operating personnel. They considered the Adviser’s ongoing commitment to retain experienced personnel and noted that longevity of employment may facilitate consistency in the Funds’ performance and investment process. The Independent Trustees considered the Adviser’s ongoing commitment to expand its research capabilities and were mindful that continual analysis of investment opportunities and optimization of procedures is important to the Funds’ long-term success. They discussed the Adviser’s registration with the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (“CFTC”) as a commodity pool operator and considered the contributions of the Adviser’s chief compliance officer in the CFTC registration process |

and her overall contributions to the operations of the Trust. After reviewing the foregoing information, the Independent Trustees concluded that the quality, extent and nature of the services provided by the Adviser to each Fund were satisfactory.
(ii) | The investment performance of the Funds and Adviser. In this regard, the Independent Trustees compared the performance of the Market Neutral Fund with the performance of the S&P 500 Index, the Fund’s primary benchmark, over various periods. It was noted by the Independent Trustees that the Market Neutral Fund underperformed the S&P 500 Index for the one, three year and five year periods ended March 31, 2013. They discussed the Fund’s underperformance for those periods, finding that the Fund’s investment strategies are not designed to keep pace or outperform the S&P 500 Index during a period when the market enjoys a broad-based rally and/or when the market is favoring large capitalization companies. The Independent Trustees considered the Adviser’s comments regarding the Market Neutral Fund’s recent underperformance, noting that the Adviser believes the Fund’s short portfolio was impacted by a short squeeze in the market. The Independent Trustees also considered the Market Neutral Fund’s longer-term performance record, noting that the Market Neutral Fund has outperformed the S&P 500 Index over the since inception period ended March 31, 2013. They discussed the Market Neutral Fund’s average beta and compared it to the S&P 500 Index, noting that the Fund’s beta indicates that the Fund is generating returns with considerably less risk exposure than the S&P 500 Index. The Independent Trustees were also provided with comparative performance statistics of the universe of funds categorized by Morningstar as “market neutral” funds. The Independent Trustees noted that for the one year period ended March 31, 2013, the Market Neutral Fund’s return of 7.33% was considerably higher than the average return for the funds in Morningstar’s market neutral category (-0.37%) They also considered that for the three and five year periods ended March 31, 2013, the Market Neutral Fund’s total returns (5.15% and 5.34%, respectively) were better than the returns of the average fund in Morningstar’s market neutral category (0.65% and 0.46%, respectively). The Independent Trustees also considered the Adviser’s comments regarding the Market Neutral Fund’s underperformance relative to the benchmark for the year-to-date period ended May 31, 2013. They noted that the Market Neutral Fund’s recent underperformance has had a negative impact on its comparative statistics. The Independent Trustees further considered that as of May 31, 2013, the Fund had a 4-star Morningstar overall rating. The Independent Trustees reviewed performance information with respect to the Adviser’s other managed accounts, which indicated that the Market Neutral Fund trailed the performance of such other accounts for the one year period ended March 31, 2013. They considered that, based on representations by the Adviser, those performance differences can be attributed mainly to the Market Neutral Fund being subject to stricter investment limitations and being managed more conservatively than such other accounts in order to achieve a less volatile return. The Independent Trustees also considered the consistency of the Adviser’s management of the Market Neutral Fund with the Fund’s investment objective and policies. After considerable discussion, the Independent Trustees concluded that the overall investment performance of the Market Neutral Fund has been satisfactory. |
| The Independent Trustees next reviewed the performance of the Small Cap Fund, which was compared to the performance of the Russell 2000 Index, the Fund’s primary benchmark, over various periods ended March 31, 2013. It was noted by the Independent Trustees that |

APPROVAL OF INVESTMENT ADVISORY AGREEMENTS
(Unaudited) (Continued)
the Small Cap Fund outperformed the Russell 2000 Index for the one year, three year, five year and since inception periods ended March 31, 2013. The Independent Trustees were also provided with comparative performance statistics of the universe of funds categorized by Morningstar as “small cap blend” funds, which is the category to which the Small Cap Fund has been assigned. The Independent Trustees noted that for the one year, three year and five year periods ended March 31, 2013, the Small Cap Fund’s 20.10%, 14.83% and 13.83% returns, respectively, were higher than the performance of the average fund in the small cap blend category (15.66%, 13.28% and 7.69%, respectively) over the same periods. The Independent Trustees further considered that as of May 31, 2013, the Fund has a 4-star Morningstar overall rating. They also reviewed performance information with respect to the Adviser’s other managed accounts but concluded that none of these other accounts provided a good comparison due to differences in investment objectives. The Independent Trustees considered the consistency of the Adviser’s management of the Small Cap Fund with the Fund’s investment objective and policies. After further discussion, the Independent Trustees concluded that the investment performance of the Small Cap Fund has been above average.
| The Independent Trustees next reviewed the performance of the Hedged Futures Fund, which was compared to the performance of the S&P DTI Index, the Fund’s primary benchmark, over various periods ended March 31, 2013. It was noted by the Independent Trustees that the Hedged Futures Fund outperformed the S&P DTI Index for the one year and since inception periods ended March 31, 2013. The Independent Trustees were also provided with comparative performance statistics of the universe of funds categorized by Morningstar as “managed futures” funds, which is the category to which the Hedged Futures Fund has been assigned. The Independent Trustees noted that for the one year period ended March 31, 2013, the Hedged Futures Fund’s -1.64% return was higher than the performance of the average fund in the managed futures category (-6.17%) over the same period. They also considered the Adviser’s comments regarding the Hedged Futures Fund’s underperformance relative to the benchmark and its peer group for the year-to-date period ended May 31, 2013. The Independent Trustees also reviewed performance information with respect to the Adviser’s other managed accounts but concluded that none of these other accounts provided a good comparison due to differences in investment objectives and policies. The Independent Trustees considered the consistency of the Adviser’s management of the Hedged Futures Fund with the Fund’s investment objective and policies. They also discussed the Hedged Futures Fund’s lack of correlation to the other funds in the managed futures category along with other broad based securities indices. After further discussion, the Independent Trustees concluded that the investment performance of the Hedged Futures Fund has been above average. |
(iii) | The costs of the services to be provided and profits to be realized by the Adviser from its relationship with the Funds. In this regard, the Independent Trustees considered the Adviser’s staffing, personnel and operations; the financial condition of the Adviser and the level of commitment to the Funds by the principals of the Adviser; the asset levels of each Fund; and the overall expenses of each Fund. The Independent Trustees reviewed the rate of the advisory fees paid by the Funds under the Advisory Agreements and compared them to average advisory fee ratios of similar mutual funds compiled from statistics reported by Morningstar. They also compared the total operating expense ratios of the Funds with |
TFS CAPITAL INVESTMENT TRUST
APPROVAL OF INVESTMENT ADVISORY AGREEMENTS
(Unaudited) (Continued)
average expense ratios of representative funds in their respective Morningstar categories. It was noted by the Independent Trustees that the Market Neutral Fund’s advisory fee (2.25% on the first $1.75 billion in net assets and 2.15% on net assets above $1.75 billion) and its overall expense ratio of 2.50% (which excludes dividend expenses, borrowing costs and brokerage expenses on securities sold short) were each higher than the average advisory fee (1.21%) and average expense ratio (1.79%) for Morningstar’s market neutral category. The Independent Trustees also considered the Adviser’s commitment to cap the Market Neutral Fund’s ordinary operating expenses at 2.50% per annum for the life of the Fund. The Independent Trustees performed a similar comparison for the Small Cap Fund, finding that the Small Cap Fund’s advisory fee of 1.25% and its overall expense ratio of 1.75% were each higher than the average advisory fee (0.77%) and average expense ratio (1.32%) for Morningstar’s small cap blend category. They took into account the Adviser’s commitment to cap the Small Cap Fund’s ordinary operating expenses at 1.75% per annum for the life of the Fund. The Independent Trustees performed a similar comparison for the Hedged Futures Fund, finding that the Hedged Futures Fund’s advisory fee of 2.00% was higher than the average advisory fee (1.27%) for Morningstar’s managed futures category and that the Hedged Futures Fund’s overall expense ratio of 2.30% was lower than the average expense ratio (2.58%) for the managed futures category. They took into account the Adviser’s commitment to cap the Hedged Futures Fund’s ordinary operating expenses at 2.30% per annum for the life of the Fund. The Independent Trustees next considered the Adviser’s analysis of its revenues and expenses with respect to its services provided to each Fund for periods ended March 31, 2013. It was noted by the Independent Trustees that the Adviser’s overall revenues from managing the Funds have continued to increase. They discussed the profitability of the Adviser and noted the costs associated with managing the Funds, especially in the areas of research and development and retention of its investment professionals and hiring new personnel. The Independent Trustees also reviewed the revenue and expense information with respect to the Small Cap Fund. It was noted that since the inception of the Small Cap Fund through March 31, 2009, the Adviser had not received any of its advisory fees and had also reimbursed a significant amount of other operating expenses of the Fund. They noted that during the 12 month period ended March 31, 2010 the Adviser began to receive a portion of its advisory fees and that has continued to do so for last three annual periods ended March 31. The Independent Trustees considered that the Adviser still is not receiving its full advisory fee from the Small Cap Fund. The Independent Trustees reviewed the revenue and expense information with respect to the Hedged Futures Fund. It was noted that the Adviser has had to reduce its advisory fees to maintain the Hedged Futures Fund’s agreed upon expense ratio. The Independent Trustees considered that the amount of fee reductions required of the Adviser has fluctuated over the life of the Hedged Futures Fund. They noted that the Hedged Futures Fund’s net assets have been decreasing and as a result the Adviser’s fee reductions have increased. The Independent Trustees next reviewed the balance sheet of the Adviser as of March 31, 2013, and considered that the Adviser is entitled to receive a reasonable entrepreneurial profit, in light of the high quality and scope of services that are provided to the Funds. The Independent Trustees further considered that the investment and research process utilized by the Adviser is broader and more sophisticated than the process used by most other investment advisers as it involves frequent position rebalancing, the development of proprietary multiple trading models and the use of a team

APPROVAL OF INVESTMENT ADVISORY AGREEMENTS
(Unaudited) (Continued)
approach that involves many participants. They also considered the Adviser’s efforts to improve economies of scale for the Funds as they grow in assets. The Independent Trustees considered the Market Neutral Fund’s continued operation under a subscription policy that is designed to control asset growth. The Independent Trustees considered the “fallout benefits” to the Adviser, including the additional exposure the Adviser has received as a result of managing the Funds, including the Adviser being named the 2012 Alternatives Fund Manager of the Year by Morningstar. After a thorough discussion and consideration of the foregoing, the Independent Trustees concluded that the fees to be paid by each Fund to the Adviser are reasonable in light of the quality of the services received.
(iv) | The extent to which economies of scale would be realized as a Fund grows and whether advisory fee levels reflect these economies of scale for the benefit of a Fund’s investors. The Independent Trustees considered the current net assets for each Fund and discussed the expense cap arrangements between the Trust and the Adviser. They noted that the Market Neutral Fund’s assets continue to remain at a level where the Adviser collects its full advisory fee and that a breakpoint has been added to the advisory fee resulting in shareholders enjoying economies of scale. The Independent Trustees further noted that with respect to the Small Cap Fund, assets have grown to the point where the Adviser is currently receiving 1.08% as compared to its 1.25% advisory fee. They considered the Hedged Futures Fund’s advisory fees, noting that the Fund’s assets have grown to the point where the Adviser is currently receiving 1.96% as compared to its 2.00% advisory fee. The Independent Trustees also considered the increase in fee reductions required of the Adviser in 2013 due to the decline in net assets for the Hedged Futures Fund. The Independent Trustees also considered the Market Neutral Fund’s investment capacity limitations along with the Trust’s implementation of a subscription policy that controls the growth of the Fund. The Trustees discussed the Market Neutral Fund’s projected asset growth during the current annual period, concluding that the current fee breakpoint structure remains reasonable. The Independent Trustees concluded that, given the current asset levels in the Small Cap Fund and the Hedged Futures Fund, it would not be relevant to consider the extent to which economies of scale are being realized by each Fund and that it is not necessary or appropriate at this time to consider adding fee breakpoints to the advisory fee schedule for the Small Cap Fund or for the Hedged Futures Fund. |
In conclusion, the Trustees did not identify any single factor as all-important or controlling in their determination to approve the Advisory Agreements. The Trustees, including all of the Independent Trustees, concluded that the terms of each Advisory Agreement were fair and reasonable, that the Adviser’s fees were reasonable in light of the services provided to the Funds and the benefits received by the Adviser, and that continuance of the Advisory Agreements is in the best interests of each Fund and its shareholders.
