LETTER TO SHAREHOLDERS
June 15, 2016
Dear Shareholder,
Enclosed is the Semi-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 six months ended April 30, 2016. On behalf of the investment manager, TFS Capital LLC (“TFS Capital”), I would like to thank you for your continued investment.
Below you will find performance updates on each of the mutual funds.
TFS Market Neutral Fund (ticker: TFSMX)
| 1-year return | 3-year return | 5-year return | 10-year return | Since Inception (9/7/2004) |
TFS Market Neutral Fund | -8.56% | -1.03% | -0.04% | 4.31% | 5.36% |
S&P 500® Index | 1.21% | 11.26% | 11.02% | 6.91% | 7.61% |
Average annual total returns for periods ended April 30, 2016. Past performance is not a guarantee of future results.
TFSMX produced significantly negative alpha (i.e., the return that cannot be explained by a fund’s market exposure) overall during the first half of the fiscal year, and returned negative alpha for 4 out of the 6 months of the period. The loss of alpha was broadly spread across most strategies and most sectors in our small cap models. Strategies outside of small cap stocks generally performed well, but the Fund’s focus on small cap stocks limited their impact on performance.
Since inception, TFSMX has produced positive alpha, with lower volatility and market exposure than the S&P 500® Index. From inception through April 30, 2016, TFSMX has had an average annual return of 5.36%, as compared to S&P 500® Index performance during the same period of 7.61%. During this period, the Fund’s beta was 23%. This means that the Fund performed as if 23% of it was allocated to the market. In addition, during this time period, the Fund’s average annual volatility measure was 7.51%, compared to S&P 500® Index volatility of 19.65%.
Since inception, 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 correlation to the equity indices in recent years has risen, as compared to historical averages.
Index | Correlation Since Inception |
S&P 500® Index | 0.60 |
Russell 2000® Index | 0.58 |
MSCI EAFE Index | 0.46 |
Barclays U.S. Aggregate Bond Index | (0.16) |
Dow Jones Equity REIT Total Index | 0.42 |
Bloomberg Commodity Index | 0.39 |

TFS Small Cap Fund (ticker: TFSSX)
| 1-year return | 3-year return | 5-year return | 10-year return | Since Inception (3/7/2006) |
TFS Small Cap Fund | -8.04% | 8.78% | 8.12% | 9.36% | 9.98% |
Russell 2000® Index | -5.94% | 7.53% | 6.98% | 5.42% | 5.97% |
Average annual total returns for periods ended April 30, 2016. Past performance is not a guarantee of future results.
During the six month period ended April 30, 2016, TFSSX underperformed its benchmark, the Russell 2000® Index. TFSSX’s returns were heavily impacted by the movement of the U.S. “small-cap” equity sector as evidenced by comparing the return of TFSSX and its benchmark return (i.e., -2.28% versus -1.90%. respectively) during this period. Given its “long-only” mandate, TFSSX is expected to have a high correlation to U.S. small-cap equity market movements with any performance deviation generally attributable to TFS Capital’s equity selection.
However, TFSSX achieved its objective of outperforming the Russell 2000® Index over longer periods of time. In fact, it now has over a 10-year track record and has achieved an average annual return since inception that is four percentage points higher than that of the Russell 2000® Index.
TFS Hedged Futures Fund (ticker: TFSHX)
| 1-year return | 3-year return | Since Inception (12/29/2011) |
TFS Hedged Futures Fund | 6.34% | 0.67% | 1.85% |
Diversified Trends Indicator® | -1.42% | 2.23% | -1.96% |
S&P 500® Index | 1.21% | 11.02% | 14.42% |
Average annual returns for periods ended April 30, 2016. Past performance is not a guarantee of future results.
During the 6-month period ended April 30, 2016, TFSHX appreciated by 6.34%. Performance during the six month period exceeded the Diversified Trends Indicator® (the “DTI®”), a commonly-used benchmark for managed-futures funds. Returns in the Fund’s volatility carry strategies were positive, helping performance; these strategies are not employed by the DTI®. Since inception, TFSHX has produced a positive return, while the DTI® has produced a negative return over the same period. Though the S&P 500® Index is not generally considered an appropriate benchmark for managed-futures funds, it is provided above for your reference.

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 Diversified Trends Indicator®, which suggests that it may also have a low correlation to other managed-futures funds that employ trend-following strategies. For your reference, below are the TFS Hedged Futures Fund’s correlations to several other asset classes.
Index | Correlation Since Inception |
Diversified Trends Indicator® | (0.02) |
S&P 500® Index | 0.12 |
Russell 2000® Index | 0.15 |
S&P GSCI Index | (0.02) |
Barclays U.S. Aggregate Bond Index | (0.04) |
Bloomberg Commodity Index | 0.02 |
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,
Eric Newman

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. 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”). As an investment company, as defined in Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Update 2013-08, the Funds follow accounting and reporting guidance under FASB Accounting Standards Codification Topic 946, “Financial Services – Investment Companies.”
Securities 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 mean between the closing bid and ask prices on the NYSE or other primary exchange 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.
Fixed income securities are generally valued using prices provided by an independent pricing service approved by the Trust’s Board of Trustees (the “Board”). The independent pricing service will employ methodologies that they believe are appropriate, including actual market transactions,

TFS CAPITAL INVESTMENT TRUST
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)
broker-dealer supplied valuations, matrix pricing, or other electronic data processing techniques. These techniques generally consider such factors as security prices, yields, maturities, call features, ratings, and developments relating to specific securities in arriving at valuations.
Futures contracts that trade on exchanges that close at 4:00 p.m. Eastern time are valued at their closing price as quoted on their primary exchange. Futures contracts that trade on exchanges that close before 4:00 p.m. Eastern time are valued at their last sale price as of the close of regular trading on their primary exchange. Futures contracts that trade on exchanges that close after 4:00 p.m. Eastern time are valued at their last sale price on their primary exchange as of the close of the NYSE. If no closing price is readily available at the time of valuation, the futures contract will be valued at the closing bid price for that day as reported by the primary exchange. 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 and will be classified as Level 2 or 3 within the fair value hierarchy (see below), depending on the inputs used.
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 and other financial instruments have been categorized based upon a fair value hierarchy in accordance with the FASB’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, investment companies, rights, warrants, 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 warrants that are not actively traded on an exchange, and U.S. Treasury obligations 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. Assets and liabilities included in this category may include common stocks and other securities that trade infrequently or their trading has been halted for an extended period of time. |
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.

TFS CAPITAL INVESTMENT TRUST
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)
The availability of observable inputs can vary from security to security and is affected by a wide variety of factors, including, for example, the type of security, whether the security 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 investments and other financial instruments categorized as Level 3.
The following is a summary of the inputs used to value the Funds’ investments, securities sold short and other financial instruments as of April 30, 2016:

Refer to each Fund’s Summary Schedule of Investments, Schedule of Securities Sold Short, Schedule of Futures Contracts and Schedule of Futures Contracts Sold Short, as applicable, for a listing of the securities by security type and sector or industry type.
It is the Funds’ policy to recognize transfers into and out of any Level at the end of the reporting period. As of April 30, 2016, the Funds did not have any transfers between any Levels.
There were no Level 3 securities held by TFS Small Cap Fund or TFS Hedged Futures Fund as of April 30, 2016.
The following is a reconciliation of Level 3 other financial instruments of TFS Market Neutral Fund for which significant unobservable inputs were used to determine fair value between October 31, 2015 and April 30, 2016.

* | TFS Market Neutral Fund held Common Stocks – Sold Short as of October 31, 2015 and April 30, 2016, which have been determined to be Level 3 other financial instruments. |
The total amount of unrealized appreciation on TFS Market Neutral Fund’s Level 3 other financial instruments was $5,536,684 as of April 30, 2016.
The following table summarizes the valuation techniques used and unobservable inputs developed by the Board to determine the fair value of TFS Market Neutral Fund’s Level 3 other financial instruments as of April 30, 2016:
| Fair Value at April 30, 2016 | Valuation Technique | Unobservable Input | Range | Impact to Valuation from an Increase in Input** |
Common Stocks - Sold Short | $ 0* | Discount from last sale price | Discount Percentage | 100% | Increase |
* | TFS Market Neutral Fund holds Common Stocks – Sold Short which have been determined to be Level 3 investments and have been fair valued at $0. |
** | This column represents the directional change in the fair value of the Level 3 investments that would result in an increase from the corresponding input. A decrease to the unobservable input would have the opposite effect. Significant increases and decreases in these inputs in isolation could result in significantly higher or lower fair value measurements. |
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. Prior to January 1, 2014, shares of each Fund were subject to a redemption fee of 2% if redeemed within 90 days of the date of purchase.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)
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. Withholding taxes on foreign dividends have been recorded in accordance with the Funds’ understanding of the appropriate country’s tax rules and tax rates.
Borrowing costs – From time to time, a Fund may have an overdrawn cash balance at the custodian due to redemptions or market movements. When this occurs, the Fund will incur borrowing costs charged by the custodian.
Security transactions – Security transactions are accounted for on the trade date. Realized 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 paid at least once each year. The amount of distributions from net investment income and net realized capital 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 April 30, 2016 and October 31, 2015 was as follows:
| Periods Ended | Ordinary Income | Long-Term Capital Gains | Total Distributions |
TFS Market Neutral Fund | 4/30/2016 | $ 1,668,052 | $ 26,779,117 | $ 28,447,169 |
| 10/31/2015 | $ — | $ 28,360,770 | $ 28,360,770 |
TFS Small Cap Fund | 4/30/2016 | $ 2,778,851 | $ 1,678,412 | $ 4,457,263 |
| 10/31/2015 | $ 4,947,085 | $ 1,615,377 | $ 6,562,462 |
There were no distributions paid to shareholders by TFS Hedged Futures Fund during the periods ended April 30, 2016 and October 31, 2015.
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. Short selling subjects a Fund to the potential for unlimited losses.
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. These Funds may use futures contracts to gain exposure to 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 a 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 accumulated in a receivable or payable account by the Fund each day, depending on the daily fluctuations in the fair value of the underlying asset. The total of this account is received or paid by the Fund when the position is closed. The Fund recognizes an unrealized gain or loss equal to the daily variation margin. If market conditions change 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 among 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. |
| 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 forward foreign currency exchange contracts for speculative purposes. When the Adviser believes that the currency of a particular country may produce positive returns against the currency of another country, each of those Funds may purchase or sell forward foreign currency exchange 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 a 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 – Each Fund has qualified and intends to continue 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 capital 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.

As of April 30, 2016, the tax proceeds from securities sold short is $435,324,474 for TFS Market Neutral Fund.
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 difference between the federal income tax cost of investments and the financial statement cost for TFS Hedged Futures Fund is due to the tax treatment of the Fund’s wholly owned subsidiary as a controlled foreign corporation (CFC).
For the six months ended April 30, 2016, the following reclassifications were made as a result of permanent differences between financial statement and income tax reporting requirements:

Capital loss carryforward – short-term | | $ | 368,976 | |
Capital loss carryforward – long-term | | | 567,975 | |
Total capital loss carryforwards | | $ | 936,951 | |

TFS CAPITAL INVESTMENT TRUST
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)
These capital loss carryforwards, which do not expire, may be utilized in the current and future years to offset net realized capital gains of TFS Hedged Futures Fund, if any, prior to distributing such gains to shareholders.
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 the current and all open tax periods of each Fund (October 31, 2012 through October 31, 2015 for TFS Market Neutral Fund and TFS Small Cap Fund and December 31, 2012 through October 31, 2015 for TFS Hedged Futures Fund) 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.

During the six months ended April 30, 2016, cost of purchases and proceeds from sales of portfolio securities, other than short-term investments, U.S. government securities and short positions, amounted to $2,566,888,001 and $2,780,844,460, respectively, for TFS Market Neutral Fund; $349,846,819 and $361,046,500, respectively, for TFS Small Cap Fund; and $0 and $0, respectively, for TFS Hedged Futures Fund.

INVESTMENT ADVISORY AGREEMENT
Each Fund’s investments are managed by the Adviser pursuant to the terms of an Investment Advisory Agreement. TFS Market Neutral Fund, TFS Small Cap Fund and TFS Hedged Futures Fund pay the Adviser an investment advisory fee, computed and accrued daily and paid monthly, at an annual rate of 1.65%, 1.15% and 1.50%, respectively, of average daily net assets.

6. Investments in Money Market Mutual Funds
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 April 30, 2016, TFS Hedged Futures Fund had 57.9% of the value of its net assets invested in shares of money market mutual funds registered under the 1940 Act. As of April 30, 2016, TFS Market Neutral Fund and TFS Small Cap Fund did not have a significant portion of their net assets invested 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. 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.

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 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 (November 1, 2015) and held until the end of the period (April 30, 2016).
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 fourth 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 annual 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.

APPROVAL OF INVESTMENT ADVISORY AGREEMENTS (Unaudited)
At an in-person meeting held on February 17, 2016, the Board of Trustees considered whether to approve new Investment Advisory Agreements (“New Advisory Agreements”), on behalf of TFS Market Neutral Fund (the “Market Neutral Fund”), the TFS Small Cap Fund (the “Small Cap Fund”), the TFS Hedged Futures Fund and the TFS Hedged Futures Strategy Offshore Fund Ltd (together the “Hedged Futures Fund”, and together with the Market Neutral Fund and the Small Cap Fund, the “Funds”) with TFS Capital LLC (the “Adviser”). The New Advisory Agreements are required because a controlling person of the Adviser entered into an agreement to sell his interest in the Adviser to the remaining shareholders of the Adviser, effective June 30, 2016 (the “Transaction”). The person owned 25.3% of the Adviser and under applicable law, a person who owns 25% or more of the voting securities of a company is presumed to control such company. Because of this presumption the Transaction will result in a change of control of the Adviser. Under the 1940 Act and the terms of each present advisory agreement, those agreements will automatically terminate upon the consummation of the Transaction. Consequently the New Advisory Agreements are required. Each New Advisory Agreement is substantially identical to the present advisory agreement and differs only with respect to the following changes: (i) a change to the effective and termination date; (ii) incorporating into the body of the New Advisory Agreements the January 1, 2014 amendment to the present advisory agreements which lowered the advisory fee rates; and (iii) the addition of a forum selection clause. To assist the Board in considering the New Advisory Agreements, the Adviser provided the Board with various written materials in advance of the meeting, including updated financial and performance information.
The Independent Trustees discussed the proposed approval of the New Advisory Agreements with management and also met in Executive Session where the Independent Trustees were advised by independent counsel of their legal and fiduciary obligations in approving the New Advisory Agreements. The Board determined that the overall arrangement between each Fund and the Adviser, as provided in the New Advisory Agreements, was fair and reasonable and that approval of the New Advisory Agreements was in the best interests of each Fund and its shareholders. The Board of Trustees, with the Independent Trustees voting separately, unanimously approved each of the New Advisory Agreements and recommended approval of the New Advisory Agreements to each Fund’s shareholders to become effective upon consummation of the change of control at the Adviser.
Throughout this process, the Independent Trustees were advised and supported by independent counsel having experience in the 1940 Act and other federal securities law matters. The following describes the Trustees’ considerations at the February 17, 2016 meeting:
Nature, extent and quality of services
The Trustees received and considered information on the responsibilities of the Adviser under the New Advisory Agreements, noting that the Adviser is responsible for providing each Fund with investment research and advice, and determining the securities to be purchased and sold in accordance with the investment objective and policies of each Fund. The Trustees gave weight to the Adviser’s representations that (i) the responsibilities of the Adviser under the New Advisory Agreements are substantially the same in all material respects as under each Fund’s current Investment Advisory Agreement (the “Present Advisory Agreements”); (ii) the operations of the Adviser and the level or quality of advisory services provided to the Funds will not be materially affected as a result of the New Advisory Agreements; (iii) the same personnel of the Adviser who
76
TFS CAPITAL INVESTMENT TRUST
APPROVAL OF INVESTMENT ADVISORY AGREEMENTS (Unaudited) (Continued)
currently provide investment advisory services to the Funds will continue to do so upon approval of the New Advisory Agreements. The Trustees reviewed the qualifications, backgrounds and responsibilities of the advisory personnel primarily responsible for the day-to-day management of the Funds and were mindful that no changes to the personnel responsible for the daily portfolio management of the Funds are contemplated as a result of the Transaction. The Trustees 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 services and programs for the purpose of mitigating compliance risks. The Trustees considered the operational changes of the Adviser over the past year, which included a reallocation of resources and responsibilities among the Adviser’s existing senior personnel and the hiring of additional personnel. They noted that Eric Newman was named Chief Investment Officer of the Adviser in July 2014, managing the analysis and technology teams of the Adviser and continuing his service as a portfolio manager of the Funds. The Trustees considered that all of the operational and personnel changes at the Adviser noted herein have taken place seamlessly with no negative impact to the Funds and their respective shareholders.
The Trustees considered the Adviser’s responsibilities with regards to brokerage selection and best execution. The Trustees also considered that the Adviser does not participate in “soft dollar” arrangements.
After reviewing the foregoing information, the Trustees concluded that the quality, extent and nature of the services provided by the Adviser to each Fund were satisfactory.
Investment Performance of the Funds
The Trustees compared the performance of the TFS Market Neutral Fund with the performance of the Standard & Poor’s 500 Index (“S&P 500 Index”), the Fund’s primary benchmark, for the one year periods ended October 31, 2013, 2014 and 2015 and the since inception period ended October 31, 2015. They discussed the TFS Market Neutral Fund’s underperformance for the stated periods, finding that the Fund’s investment strategies are not designed to keep pace or outperform the S&P 500 Index during periods when the market is experiencing a broad-based rally and/or when the market is favoring large capitalization companies. The Trustees were also provided with comparative performance statistics of the universe of funds categorized by Morningstar as “market neutral” funds. The Trustees noted that the TFS Market Neutral Fund’s returns were higher than the average fund in the market neutral category over the five and ten year periods ended December 31, 2015 but trailed the performance of the average fund in the category for the one and three year periods ended December 31, 2015. The Trustees reviewed performance information with respect to the Adviser’s other managed accounts, concluding that due to the differences in how these accounts are managed, the comparison is not particularly relevant. The Trustees also considered the consistency of the Adviser’s management of the TFS Market Neutral Fund with the Fund’s investment objective and policies. After considerable discussion, the Trustees concluded that the overall investment performance of the TFS Market Neutral Fund has been above average.
The Trustees compared the performance of the TFS Small Cap Fund with the performance of the Russell 2000 Index, the Fund’s primary benchmark, for the one year periods ended October 31, 2013, 2014 and 2015 and the since inception period ended October 31, 2015. It was noted by the
77
TFS CAPITAL INVESTMENT TRUST
APPROVAL OF INVESTMENT ADVISORY AGREEMENTS (Unaudited) (Continued)
Trustees that the TFS Small Cap Fund outperformed the Russell 2000 Index for each of the stated periods. 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 TFS Small Cap Fund has been assigned. The Independent Trustees noted that the TFS Small Cap Fund’s returns were higher than the returns of the average fund in the small cap blend category for the three and five year periods ended December 31, 2015 but trailed the performance of the average fund in the category for the one year period ended December 31, 2015. They also reviewed performance information with respect to the Adviser’s other clients but concluded that none of these clients provided a good comparison due to differences in investment objectives. The Trustees considered the consistency of the Adviser’s management of the TFS Small Cap Fund with the Fund’s investment objective and policies. After further discussion, the Trustees concluded that the investment performance of the TFS Small Cap Fund has been above average.
The Trustees next compared the performance of the TFS Hedged Futures Fund to the performance of the Standard & Poor’s Diversified Trends Indicator (“S&P DTI”), the Fund’s primary benchmark, for the one year periods ended October 31, 2013, 2014 and 2015 and the since inception period ended October 31, 2015. It was noted by the Trustees that the TFS Hedged Futures Fund outperformed the S&P DTI for the most recent one year period ended October 31, 2015 and the since inception period ended October 31, 2015, but trailed the performance of the S&P DTI for the one year periods ended October 31, 2013 and 2014. The 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 TFS Hedged Futures Fund has been assigned. The Trustees noted that the TFS Hedged Futures Fund outperformed the average returns for the funds in the managed futures category for the one year period ended December 31, 2015 but trailed the performance of the average fund in the category for the three period ended December 31, 2015. The Trustees also reviewed performance information with respect to the Adviser’s other clients but concluded that none of these other clients provided a good comparison due to differences in investment objectives. The Trustees considered the consistency of the Adviser’s management of the TFS Hedged Futures Fund with the Fund’s investment objective and policies. They also discussed the TFS 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 Trustees concluded that the investment performance of the TFS Hedged Futures Fund has been satisfactory.
Cost of Services and Profits to be Realized by the Adviser
The Trustees compared the rate of advisory fees that will be paid by the Funds under the New Advisory Agreements with 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 during the most recent fiscal year with average expense ratios of representative funds in their respective Morningstar categories. The Trustees found that each Fund’s current advisory fee rate was higher than the average advisory fee rate and the overall expense ratios were higher than the average expense ratios in its comparative Morningstar category, except the overall expense ratio for the TFS Hedged Futures Fund was lower than the average expense ratio for the Morningstar managed futures category. The Independent Trustees noted that the Adviser
78
TFS CAPITAL INVESTMENT TRUST
APPROVAL OF INVESTMENT ADVISORY AGREEMENTS (Unaudited) (Continued)
has agreed to continue the expense limitation agreements for each Fund for the life of the Fund (assuming the Adviser continues to serve as investment adviser) following the approval by shareholders of the New Advisory Agreements.
The Independent Trustees next considered the Adviser’s analysis of its revenues and expenses with respect to the services provided to each Fund for the one-year period ended December 31, 2015. They discussed the impact the advisory fee reductions and lower expense cap arrangements have had on the revenues of the Adviser and noted that overall revenues derived by the Adviser from its management of the Funds has decreased over the past two years. They noted that, although the Adviser continues to receive significant revenue from the TFS Market Neutral Fund, there are significant costs associated with managing the TFS Market Neutral Fund, especially in the areas of research and development, retention of its investment professionals and hiring new personnel. The Independent Trustees further considered that the investment and research process utilized by Adviser is broader and more sophisticated than the process used by most other investment advisers as it involves frequent position rebalancing, trading in small capitalization companies, the development of proprietary multiple trading models and the use of a team approach that involves many participants. The Independent Trustees next reviewed the balance sheet of the Adviser as of December 31, 2015, noting that the Adviser is financially stable and has assets sufficient to satisfy its commitments to the Funds. The Independent Trustees also discussed the structure of the Transaction, concluding that the Transaction will not directly impact the financial condition of the Adviser. 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. After a thorough discussion and consideration of the foregoing, the 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.
Economies of Scale
The Independent Trustees noted that each Fund’s New Advisory Agreement does not contain breakpoints. They further noted that the Adviser has agreed to continue its contractual fee reductions and expense reimbursement arrangements with each Fund. The Independent Trustees noted that the Adviser has waived a portion of its advisory fee and absorbed operating expenses for each Fund during the October 31, 2015 fiscal year to the extent necessary to limit the Fund’s annual operating expenses to the contractual amounts. The Independent Trustee concluded that due to the Adviser’s commitment to maintain the advisory fees and expense limitations at their current levels, it is not necessary or appropriate at this time to consider adding fee breakpoints to the advisory fee schedule for the Funds.
