AVAILABILITY OF PORTFOLIO SCHEDULE – (Unaudited)
Each Fund files its complete schedule of portfolio holdings with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) for the first and third quarters of each fiscal year on Form N-Q. The Funds’ Forms N-Q are available at the SEC’s website at www.sec.gov. The Forms N-Q may be reviewed and copied at the Public Reference Room in Washington DC. Information on the operation of the Public Reference Room may be obtained by calling 1-800-SEC-0330.
ABOUT THE FUND’S EXPENSES – (Unaudited)
As a shareholder of the Fund, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs (such as short-term redemption fees); and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees; and other Fund expenses. This Example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds. The Example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period, and held for the entire period from June 29, 2011 to November 30, 2011.
Actual Expenses
The first line of the table below provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this line, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.60), then multiply the result by the number in the first line under the heading entitled “Expenses Paid During Period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.
Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes
The second line of the table below provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Fund’s actual expense ratios and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Fund’s actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Fund and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds.

ABOUT THE FUND’S EXPENSES – (Unaudited) (Continued)
Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transactional costs, such as sales charges (loads), redemption fees, or exchange fees. Therefore, the second line of the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transactional costs were included, your costs would have been higher.

The Cloud Capital Strategic Large Cap Fund (the “Large Cap Fund”) and the Cloud Capital Strategic Mid Cap Fund (the “Mid Cap Fund”) (collectively the “Funds”) were organized as open-end diversified series of the Valued Advisers Trust (the “Trust”). The Trust is a management investment company established under the laws of Delaware by an Agreement and Declaration of Trust dated June 13, 2008 (the “Trust Agreement”). The Trust Agreement permits the Trustees to issue an unlimited number of shares of beneficial interest of separate series without par value. The Funds are two of a series of funds authorized by the Trustees. The Funds each offer two share classes, Class A Shares and Institutional Class Shares. The Funds’ Institutional Class Shares commenced operations on June 29, 2011, Class A Shares have not yet commenced operations. The Fund’s investment adviser is Cloud Capital LLC (the “Adviser”). The investment objective of the Large Cap Fund is to consistently deliver excess returns relative to the S&P 500® Index over three- to five-year time horizons. The investment objective of the Mid Cap Fund is to consistently deliver excess returns relative to the S&P Mid Cap 400® Index over three- to five-year time horizons.
Each Fund’s prospectus provides a description of the investment objective, policies and strategies, along with information on the classes of shares currently being offered.
NOTE 2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The following is a summary of significant accounting policies consistently followed by each Fund in the preparation of its financial statements.
Securities Valuation – All investments in securities are recorded at their estimated fair value as described in Note 3.
Federal Income Taxes – The Funds makes no provision for federal income or excise tax. Each Fund intends to qualify each year as a regulated investment company (“RIC”) under subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, by complying with the requirements applicable to RICs and by distributing substantially all of its taxable income. Each Fund also intends to distribute sufficient net investment income and net capital gains, if any, so that it will not be subject to excise tax on undistributed income and gains. If the required amount of net investment income or gains is not distributed, the Fund could incur a tax expense.
As of and during the period ended November 30, 2011, the Funds did not have a liability for any unrecognized tax benefits. The Funds recognize interest and penalties,

if any, related to unrecognized tax benefits as income tax expense in the statement of operations. During the year, the Funds did not incur any interest or penalties. The Funds are subject to examination by U.S. federal tax authorities for all tax years since inception.
Expenses – Expenses incurred by the Trust that do not relate to a specific fund of the Trust are allocated to the individual funds based on each fund’s relative net assets or another appropriate basis (as determined by the Trustees).
Security Transactions and Related Income – The Fund follows industry practice and records security transactions on the trade date. The first in, first out (“FIFO”) method is used for determining gains or losses for financial statements and income tax purposes. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date and interest income is recorded on an accrual basis. Discounts and premiums on securities purchased are amortized or accreted using the effective interest method. Withholding taxes on foreign dividends have been provided for in accordance with the Fund’s understanding of the applicable country’s tax rules and rates. The ability of issuers of debt securities held by the Fund to meet their obligations may be affected by economic and political developments in a specific country or region.
Dividends and Distributions – Each Fund intends to distribute substantially all of its net investment income, if any, as dividends to its shareholders on at least an annual basis. Each Fund intends to distribute its net realized long term capital gains and its net realized short term capital gains, if any, at least once a year. Dividends to shareholders, which are determined in accordance with income tax regulations, are recorded on the ex-dividend date. The treatment for financial reporting purposes of distributions made to shareholders during the period from net investment income or net realized capital gains may differ from their ultimate treatment for federal income tax purposes. These differences are caused primarily by differences in the timing of the recognition of certain components of income, expense or realized capital gains for federal income tax purposes. Where such differences are permanent in nature, they are reclassified in the components of the net assets based on their ultimate characterization for federal income tax purposes. Any such reclassifications will have no effect on net assets, results of operations or net asset values per share of the Fund.
New Accounting Pronouncements – In May 2011, the FASB issued ASU No. 2011-04 “Amendments to Achieve Common Fair Value Measurement And Disclosure Requirements in U.S. GAAP and IFRSs” (“ASU 2011-04”). ASU 2011-04 includes
40

NOTE 2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES - (continued)
common Requirements for measurement of and disclosure about fair value between U.S. GAAP and International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”). ASU 2011-04 will require reporting entities to disclose quantitative information about the unobservable inputs used in the fair value measurements categorized within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy. In addition, ASU 2011-04 will require reporting entities to make disclosures about amounts and reasons for all transfers in and out of Level 1 and Level 2 fair value measurements. The new and revised disclosures are effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2011. At this time, management is evaluating the implications of ASU No. 2011-04 and its impact on the financial statements has not been determined.
NOTE 3. SECURITIES VALUATION AND FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS
Fair value is defined as the price that a Fund would receive upon selling an investment in a timely transaction to an independent buyer in the principal or most advantageous market of the investment. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles in the United States of America (“GAAP”) establishes a three-tier hierarchy to maximize the use of observable market data and minimize the use of unobservable inputs and to establish classification of fair value measurements for disclosure purposes.
Inputs refer broadly to the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability, including assumptions about risk (the risk inherent in a particular valuation technique used to measure fair value such as pricing model and/or the risk inherent in the inputs to the valuation technique). Inputs may be observable or unobservable. Observable inputs are inputs that reflect the assumptions market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability developed based on market data obtained from sources independent of the reporting entity. Unobservable inputs are inputs that reflect the reporting entity’s own assumptions about the assumptions market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability developed based on the best information available in the circumstances.
Various inputs are used in determining the value of each Fund’s investments. These inputs are summarized in the three broad levels listed below.
• | Level 1 – quoted prices in active markets for identical securities |
• | Level 2 – other significant observable inputs (including, but not limited to, quoted prices for an identical security in an inactive market, quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.) |
41

(unaudited)
NOTE 3. SECURITIES VALUATION AND FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS - (continued)
• | Level 3 – significant unobservable inputs (including the Fund’s own assumptions in determining fair value of investments based on the best information available) |
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 in its entirety.
Equity securities, including common stock and exchanged-traded funds, are generally valued by using market quotations, but may be valued on the basis of prices furnished by a pricing service when the Fund believes such prices more accurately reflect the fair value of such securities. Securities that are traded on any stock exchange are generally valued by the pricing service at the last quoted sale price. Lacking a last sale price, an exchange traded security is generally valued by the pricing service at its last bid price. Securities traded in the NASDAQ over-the-counter market are generally valued by the pricing service at the NASDAQ Official Closing Price. When using the market quotations or close prices provided by the pricing service and when the market is considered active, the security will be classified as a Level 1 security. Sometimes, an equity security owned by the Fund will be valued by the pricing service with factors other than market quotations or when the market is considered inactive. When this happens, the security will be classified as a Level 2 security. When market quotations are not readily available, when the Fund determines that the market quotation or the price provided by the pricing service does not accurately reflect the current fair value, or when certain restricted or illiquid securities are being valued, such securities are valued as determined in good faith by the Fund, in conformity with guidelines adopted by and subject to review by the Board of Trustees (the “Board”). These securities will be categorized as Level 3 securities.
Investments in mutual funds, including money market mutual funds, are generally priced at the ending net asset value (NAV) provided by the service agent of the funds. These securities will be categorized as Level 1 securities.
Short-term investments in fixed income securities, (those with maturities of less than 60 days when acquired, or which subsequently are within 60 days of maturity), are valued by using the amortized cost method of valuation, which the Board has determined will represent fair value. These securities will be classified as Level 2 securities.

NOTE 3. SECURITIES VALUATION AND FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS - (continued)
In accordance with the Trust’s good faith pricing guidelines, each Fund is required to consider all appropriate factors relevant to the value of securities for which it has determined other pricing sources are not available or reliable as described above. No single standard exists for determining fair value, because fair value depends upon the circumstances of each individual case. As a general principle, the current fair value of an issue of securities being valued by the Fund would appear to be the amount which the owner might reasonably expect to receive for them upon their current sale. Methods which are in accordance with this principle may, for example, be based on (i) a multiple of earnings; (ii) a discount from market of a similar freely traded security (including a derivative security or a basket of securities traded on other markets, exchanges or among dealers); or (iii) yield to maturity with respect to debt issues, or a combination of these and other methods. Good faith pricing is permitted if, in the Fund’s opinion, the validity of market quotations appears to be questionable based on factors such as evidence of a thin market in the security based on a small number of quotations, a significant event occurs after the close of a market but before a Fund’s NAV calculation that may affect a security’s value, or the Fund is aware of any other data that calls into question the reliability of market quotations. Good faith pricing may also be used in instances when the bonds the Fund invests in may default or otherwise cease to have market quotations readily available. Any fair valuation pricing done outside the Fund’s approved pricing methods must be approved by the Pricing Committee of the Board.

NOTE 4. FEES AND OTHER TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES - (continued)
(commencement of operations) to November 30, 2011, the Adviser earned fees of $83,588 from the Large Cap Fund and $76,223 from the Mid Cap Fund before the waivers described below. At November 30, 2011, the Funds owed the Adviser $6,415 and $3,934, respectively, for the excess of management fees earned over expenses waived during the period.
The Adviser has contractually agreed to waive or limit its fees and to assume other expenses of each Fund until September 30, 2012, so that total annual fund operating expenses do not exceed 1.40%. This operating expense limitation does not apply to brokerage fees and commissions, borrowing costs (such as interest and dividend expenses on securities sold short), taxes, 12b-1 fees; extraordinary expenses and indirect expenses (such as “acquired funds fees and expenses”). For the period from June 29, 2011 (commencement of operations) to November 30, 2011, the Adviser waived fees of $60,281 to the Large Cap Fund and $63,298 to the Mid Cap Fund.
The waiver and/or reimbursement by the Adviser with respect to the Funds are subject to repayment by the Funds within the three fiscal years following the fiscal year in which that particular waiver and/or reimbursement occurred, provided that the Funds are able to make the repayment without exceeding the expense limitations described above. Fees waived during the period from June 29, 2011 (commencement of operations) to November 30, 2011, totaling $60,281 for the Large Cap Fund and $63,298 for the Mid Cap Fund. These amounts may be subject to potential recoupment by the Adviser.
The Trust retains Huntington Asset Services, Inc. (“HASI”) to manage each Fund’s business affairs and provide each Fund with administrative services, including all regulatory reporting and necessary office equipment and personnel. For the period from June 29, 2011 (commencement of operations) to November 30, 2011, HASI earned fees of $14,812 for the Large Cap Fund and $14,812 for the Mid Cap Fund. At November 30, 2011, HASI was owed $5,125 from the Large Cap Fund and $5,125 from the Mid Cap Fund for administrative services.
Certain officers of the Trust are members of management and/or employees of HASI. HASI is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Huntington Bancshares, Inc., the parent company of Unified Financial Securities, Inc. (the “Distributor”).
FOLIOfn Investments, Inc., (the “Custodian”) serves as the Fund’s custodian. For the period from June 29, 2011 (commencement of operations) to November 30, 2011, the

custodian earned fees of $5,688 for the Large Cap Fund and $5,688 for the Mid Cap Fund. At November 30, 2011, the custodian was owed $2,934 from the Large Cap Fund and $2,973 from the Mid Cap Fund.
The Trust also retains HASI to act as the Fund’s transfer agent and to provide fund accounting services. For the period from June 29, 2011 (commencement of operations) to November 30, 2011, HASI earned fees of $17,653 for the Large Cap Fund and $17,653 for the Mid Cap Fund for transfer agent services and reimbursement for out-of-pocket expenses incurred in providing transfer agent services. At November 30, 2011, HASI was owed $9,455 from the Large Cap Fund and $9,455 from the Mid Cap Fund for transfer agent services and out-of-pocket expenses.
For the period from June 29, 2011 (commencement of operations) to November 30, 2011, HASI earned fees of $9,875 from the Large Cap Fund and $9,875 from the Mid Cap Fund for fund accounting services. At November 30, 2011, HASI was owed $3,416 from the Large Cap Fund and $3,416 from the Mid Cap Fund for fund accounting services.
The Fund has adopted a Distribution Plan (the “Plan”) pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act. The Plan provides that the Fund will pay the Distributor and/or any registered securities dealer, financial institution or any other person (the “Recipient”) a fee of 0.40% of the average daily net assets of the Class A Shares of each Fund in connection with the promotion and distribution of the Fund’s shares or the provision of personal services to shareholders, including, but not necessarily limited to, advertising, compensation to underwriters, dealers and selling personnel, the printing and mailing of prospectuses to other than current Fund shareholders, the printing and mailing of sales literature and servicing shareholder accounts. The Funds or Adviser may pay all or a portion of these fees to any Recipient who renders assistance in distributing or promoting the sale of shares, or who provides certain shareholder services, pursuant to a written agreement. The Plan is a compensation plan, which means that compensation is provided regardless of 12b-1 expenses actually incurred. It is anticipated that the Plan will benefit shareholders because an effective sales program typically is necessary in order for the Fund to reach and maintain a sufficient size to achieve efficiently its investment objectives and to realize economies of scale. There were no 12b-1 fees for the period ended November 30, 2011, as the Class A Shares of each Fund have yet to commence operations.
Unified Financial Securities, Inc. (“Unified”) acts as the principal distributor of the Funds’ shares. An officer of the Trust is an officer of the Distributor and such person

may be deemed to be an affiliate of the Distributor. For the period ended November 30, 2011, there were no sales charges deducted from the proceeds of sales of capital shares, and there were no CDSC fees deducted from the redemption of capital shares.
The Law Offices of John H. Lively and Associates, Inc., a member firm of The 1940 Act Law GroupTM, serves as legal counsel to the Trust. John H. Lively, Interim Secretary of the Trust, is the owner of The Law Offices of John H. Lively & Associates, Inc., but he receives no direct compensation from the Trust or the Fund for serving as an officer of the Trust.
NOTE 5. PURCHASES AND SALES OF SECURITIES
For the period ended November 30, 2011, purchases and sales of investment securities, other than short-term investments and short-term U.S. government obligations, were as follows:
Fund | Purchases | Sales | ||||||
Large Cap Fund | $ | 47,528,182 | $ | 25,582,168 | ||||
Mid Cap Fund | 41,333,555 | 21,675,257 |
At November 30, 2011, the net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) of investments for tax purposes was as follows:
Fund | Tax Cost of Securities | Unrealized Appreciation | Unrealized Depreciation | Net Unrealized Appreciation | ||||||||||||
Large Cap Fund | $ | 20,772,191 | $ | 2,427,179 | $ | (583,945 | ) | $ | 1,843,234 | |||||||
Mid Cap Fund | 18,626,705 | 2,238,164 | (837,653 | ) | 1,400,511 |
The difference between book basis and tax basis unrealized appreciation was attributable primarily to the tax deferral of losses on wash sales of $1,257,016 for the Large Cap Fund and $1,126,984 for the Mid Cap Fund.
NOTE 6. 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 disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of increases and decreases in net assets from operations during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Approval of Investment Advisory Agreement – (Unaudited)
At a meeting held on March 9-10, 2011, the Board of Trustees (the “Board”) considered the initial approval of the Investment Advisory Agreement between the Trust and Cloud Capital LLC (the “Adviser”). Legal counsel noted that the 1940 Act requires the approval of the investment advisory and distribution agreements between the Trust and its service providers by a majority of the Independent Trustees. The Board discussed the arrangements between the Adviser and the Trust with respect to the Cloud Capital Strategic Large Cap and the Cloud Capital Strategic Mid Cap Fund (the “Funds”). The Board reflected on its discussions with members of the Adviser regarding the proposed Advisory Agreement, the Expense Limitation Agreement and the manner in which the Funds were to be managed.
Legal counsel referred the Board to the Board materials, which included, among other things, a memorandum from Counsel addressing the duties of Trustees regarding the approval of the proposed Advisory Agreement, a letter from Counsel to the Adviser and the Adviser’s responses to that letter, a copy of the Adviser’s financial related information, a copy of the Adviser’s Form ADV, a fee comparison analysis for the Funds and comparable mutual funds, and the Advisory Agreement and Expense Limitation Agreement. Legal Counsel reviewed with the Board the memorandum from Counsel and the proposed Advisory Agreement and Expense Limitation Agreement, and outlined the various factors the Board should consider in deciding whether to approve the Advisory Agreement.
In deciding whether to approve the agreement, the Trustees considered numerous factors, including:
1. | The nature, extent, and quality of the services to be provided by the Adviser. In this regard, the Board considered the responsibilities the Adviser would have under the Advisory Agreement. The Board reviewed the services to be provided by the Adviser to the Funds including, without limitation: The Adviser’s procedures for formulating investment recommendations and assuring compliance with the Funds’ investment objectives and limitations; the efforts of the Adviser during the Funds’ start-up phase, its coordination of services for the Funds among the Funds’ service providers, and the anticipated efforts to promote the Funds, grow their assets, and assist in the distribution of the Funds’ shares. The Board considered: the Adviser’s staffing, personnel, and methods of operating; the education and experience of the Adviser’s personnel; and the Adviser’s |
49
compliance program, policies, and procedures. After reviewing the foregoing and further information from the Adviser, the Board concluded that the quality, extent, and nature of the services to be provided by the Adviser were satisfactory and adequate for the Fund. |
2. | Investment Performance of the Fund and the Adviser. The Board noted that while the Funds had not commenced operations and thus did not have investment performance information to review, that the Board could consider the investment performance of separate accounts managed by the Adviser. The Board concluded that such performance was satisfactory. |
3. | The costs of the services to be provided and profits to be realized by the Adviser from the relationship with the Funds. In this regard, the Board considered: the financial condition of the Adviser and the level of commitment to the Funds and the Adviser by the principals of the Adviser and its financial support arrangements; the projected asset levels of the Funds; the Adviser’s payment of startup costs for the Funds; and the overall anticipated expenses of the Funds, including the expected nature and frequency of advisory fee payments. The Board also considered potential benefits for the Adviser in managing the Funds. The Board compared the expected fees and expenses of the Funds (including the management fee) to other funds comparable to the Funds in terms of the type of fund, the style of investment management, the anticipated size of fund and the nature of the investment strategy and markets invested in, among other factors. The Board determined that the Funds’ anticipated expense ratio, in light of the contractual Expense Limitation Agreement, and the management fees were generally comparable to those of similar funds. Following this comparison and upon further consideration and discussion of the foregoing, the Board concluded that the fees to be paid to the Adviser by the Funds were fair and reasonable. |
4. | The extent to which economies of scale would be realized as the Funds grow and whether advisory fee levels reflect these economies of scale for the benefit of the Funds’ investors. In this regard, the Board considered the Funds’ fee arrangements with the Adviser. The Board noted that the management fee would stay the same as asset levels increased, although it also noted that the shareholders of the Funds would benefit from the Expense Limitation Agreement until the Adviser’s expenses fell below the expense cap. The Board also noted that the Funds would benefit from economies of scale under its agreements with service providers other than the Adviser. Following further discussion of the Funds’ projected asset levels, expectations for growth, and levels of fees, the Board determined that the Funds’ fee arrangements with the Adviser were fair and reasonable and reasonable in relation to the nature and quality of the services to be provided by the Adviser. |
5. | Possible conflicts of interest. In evaluating the possibility for conflicts of interest, the Board considered such matters as: the experience and ability of the advisory |
50
personnel assigned to the Funds; the basis of decisions to buy or sell securities for the Funds and/or the Adviser’s other accounts; the method for bunching of portfolio securities transactions and other relevant policies described by the Adviser. Following further consideration and discussion, the Board indicated that the Adviser’s standards and practices relating to the identification and mitigation of potential conflicts of interest were satisfactory. |
Having considered these factors and additional information provided to the Board in advance of the meeting, the Board determined that the Advisory Agreement is fair and in the best interests of the Funds and its shareholders and unanimously approved the appointment of the Adviser to serve as the investment Adviser to the Funds under the terms and conditions set forth in the Advisory Agreement.

Dear Longview Shareholder,
Enclosed for your review is the semi-annual report for the period from June 27, 2011 (commencement of operations) to November 30, 2011 (“fiscal period”) for the Longview Global Allocation Fund (“Fund”), which is a series of the Valued Adviser Trust. As explained below, the fiscal period ending November 30, 2011 was challenging; the reporting period was dominated by extreme volatility and headline risk rather than fundamentals.
MARKET AND FUNDS PERFORMANCE OVERVIEW
During the fiscal period ended November 30, 2011, the equity market averages experienced negative returns. The S&P 500® Index1 was down 1.61%, the NASDAQ Composite Index1 was down 2.02%, the Russell 2000® Index1 was down 6.99%, MSCI EAFE Index1 was down 11.56%, and the Dow Jones Global Moderate Portfolio Index2 was down 2.71%. During this same period, the Fund was down 12.90% (excluding the impact of sales charges).
During the reporting period, we participated in the significant up trends and avoided most of the down trends. Sharp market gyrations had investors uncertain as to where to focus their attention. The Fund has the flexibility to invest in any asset class, anywhere, and even amid today’s heightened volatility, found no shortage of opportunities.
MARKET OUTLOOK
The past fiscal period has been chaotic and complex for investors. Volatility was extreme, headlines and macro narratives drove the market and governments around the world continue to avoid dealing with their debt issues. We continue to search for clarity, waiting patiently for the cross currents to resolve themselves. Currently, we believe domestic equities appear to be set up for further strength, however we continue to face headwinds, headline shocks can turn violent in the blink of an eye. Being nimble and disciplined will be the keys to success in the coming months.
We do not forecast the market; in fact, we strongly believe no one can. We react to the market using our rules-based, trend-following model. That keeps the subjectivity and human emotion out of our process.
LONGVIEW INVESTMENT PHILOSOPHY
Our Fund is managed using an active or tactical management strategy. Our investment process is driven by a single-minded focus: to add value for our clients. This focus requires us to produce investment solutions that aim to consistently generate competitive risk-adjusted returns over full market cycles. It compels us to maintain a long-term perspective and provide innovative investment management solutions that add value for our clients. It also requires us to place an emphasis on risk management, because understanding and managing risk is critical to our clients’ investment success. In this uncertain world we recognize the need to overweight, underweight or simply avoid specific areas of the market based on the environment. We do this to seek to achieve excess returns or to avoid excess volatility.
1
At Longview, we employ a strict sell discipline with the goal of minimizing risk and maximizing capital preservation. The Fund invests across markets, classes, sectors and styles with the goal to produce absolute returns with reduced volatility. In addition, the Fund will also attempt to hedge against extreme market outcomes. Finally and most importantly, the Fund can move fully into cash, if need be.
Our overall goal is to win by not losing; we have a flexible investment mandate, focusing on capital appreciation when the markets are performing well, and capital preservation when they are not.
LONGVIEW GLOBAL ALLOCATION PORTFOLIO
The Fund is a multi-asset, professionally managed fund. The Longview investment process is driven by relative strength, enabling us to identify fundamental trends and changes in the economic environment. Our process allows us to be properly allocated across multiple asset classes, sectors, capitalizations and styles. Our mandate allows us to change our fund’s construction, based on the changing realities of the global markets. Longview Global Allocation Fund seeks to preserve and grow capital by producing absolute returns with reduced volatility.
Thank you for your continued support and allowing us to serve you and the Fund. Please feel free to contact us with any questions or concerns.
Sincerely,
Christian M. Wagner

AVAILABILITY OF PORTFOLIO SCHEDULE – (Unaudited)
The Fund files its complete schedule of portfolio holdings with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) for the first and third quarters of each fiscal year on Form N-Q. The Fund’s Forms N-Q are available at the SEC’s website at www.sec.gov. The Forms N-Q may be reviewed and copied at the Public Reference Room in Washington DC.

ABOUT THE FUND’S EXPENSES – (Unaudited)
As a shareholder of the Fund, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs (such as short-term redemption fees); and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees; and other Fund expenses. This Example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds. The Example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period, and held for the entire period from June 27, 2011 to November 30, 2011.

ABOUT THE FUND’S EXPENSES – (Unaudited) (Continued)
Actual Expenses
The first line of the table below provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this line, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.60), then multiply the result by the number in the first line under the heading entitled “Expenses Paid During Period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.
Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes
The second line of the table below provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Fund’s actual expense ratios and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Fund’s actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Fund and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds.
Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transactional costs, such as sales charges (loads), redemption fees, or exchange fees. Therefore, the second line of the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transactional costs were included, your costs would have been higher.

* Expenses are equal to the Fund’s annualized expense ratio of 2.25%, multiplied by the average account value over the period, multiplied by 157/366 (to reflect the period since commencement of Fund operations on June 27, 2011).
** Assumes a 5% return before expenses. The hypothetical example is calculated based on a six month period from June 1, 2011 to November 30, 2011. Accordingly, expenses are equal to the Fund’s annualized expense ratio of 2.25% multiplied by the average account value over the six month period, multiplied by 183/366 (to reflect the partial year period).

Notes to the Financial Statements
November 30, 2011
(unaudited)
NOTE 1. ORGANIZATION
The Longview Global Allocation Fund (the “Fund”) is an open-end non-diversified series of the Valued Advisers Trust (the “Trust”). The Trust is a management investment company established under the laws of Delaware by an Agreement and Declaration of Trust dated June 13, 2008 (the “Trust Agreement”). The Trust Agreement permits the Trustees to issue an unlimited number of shares of beneficial interest of separate series without par value. The Fund is one of a series of funds authorized by the Board of Trustees (the “Board”). The Fund’s investment adviser is Longview Capital Management, LLC (the “Adviser”). The investment objective of the Fund is long-term capital appreciation with capital preservation as a secondary objective.
The Fund’s prospectus provides a description of the Fund’s investment objective, policies and strategies, along with information on the class of shares currently being offered. The Fund currently offers one share class that has a maximum sales charge on purchases of 5.75% as a percentage of the original purchase price. There is no initial sales charge on purchases of shares of $1 million or more, or purchases by qualified retirement plans with at least 200 employees; however, a contingent deferred sales charge (“CDSC”) of 1.00% will be imposed if such shares are redeemed within eighteen (18) months of their purchase, based on the lower of the shares’ cost or current net asset value. Any shares acquired by reinvestment of distributions will be redeemed without a CDSC. The Fund charges a 2.00% redemption fee for shares redeemed within 30 days. These fees are deducted from the redemption proceeds otherwise payable to the shareholder. The Fund will retain the fee charged as an increase in paid-in capital and such fees become part of the Fund’s daily NAV calculation.
NOTE 2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The following is a summary of significant accounting policies consistently followed by the Fund in the preparation of its financial statements.
Securities Valuation – All investments in securities are recorded at their estimated fair value as described in Note 3.
Federal Income Taxes – The Fund makes no provision for federal income or excise tax. The Fund intends to qualify each year as a regulated investment company (“RIC”) under subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, by complying with the requirements applicable to RICs and by distributing substantially all of its
12
Longview Global Allocation Fund
Notes to the Financial Statements - (continued)

(unaudited)
NOTE 2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES - (continued)
taxable income. The Fund also intends to distribute sufficient net investment income and net capital gains, if any, so that it will not be subject to excise tax on undistributed income and gains. If the required amount of net investment income or gains is not distributed, the Fund could incur a tax expense.
As of and during the period ended November 30, 2011, the Fund did not have a liability for any unrecognized tax benefits. The Fund recognizes interest and penalties, if any, related to unrecognized tax benefits as income tax expense in the statement of operations. During the period, the Fund did not incur any interest or penalties. The Fund is subject to examination by U.S. federal tax authorities for all tax years since inception.
Expenses – Expenses incurred by the Trust that do not relate to a specific fund of the Trust are allocated to the individual funds based on each fund’s relative net assets or another appropriate basis (as determined by the Board).
Security Transactions and Related Income – The Fund follows industry practice and records security transactions on the trade date. The first in, first out (“FIFO”) method is used for determining gains or losses for financial statements and income tax purposes. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date and interest income is recorded on an accrual basis. Discounts and premiums on securities purchased are amortized or accreted using the effective interest method. Withholding taxes on foreign dividends have been provided for in accordance with the Fund’s understanding of the applicable country’s tax rules and rates. The ability of issuers of debt securities held by the Fund to meet their obligations may be affected by economic and political developments in a specific country or region.
Dividends and Distributions – The Fund intends to distribute substantially all of its net investment income, if any, as dividends to its shareholders on at least an annual basis. The Fund intends to distribute its net realized long term capital gains and its net realized short term capital gains, if any, at least once a year. Dividends to shareholders, which are determined in accordance with income tax regulations, are recorded on the ex-dividend date. The treatment for financial reporting purposes of distributions made to shareholders during the period from net investment income or net realized capital gains may differ from their ultimate treatment for federal income tax purposes. These differences are caused primarily by differences in the timing of the recognition of certain components of income, expense or realized capital gains for federal income tax purposes. Where such differences are permanent in nature, they are reclassified in the
13

components of the net assets based on their ultimate characterization for federal income tax purposes. Any such reclassifications will have no effect on net assets, results of operations or net asset values per share of the Fund.
New Accounting Pronouncements – In May 2011, the FASB issued ASU No. 2011-04 “Amendments to Achieve Common Fair Value Measurement And Disclosure Requirements in U.S. GAAP and IFRSs” (“ASU 2011-04”). ASU 2011-04 includes common Requirements for measurement of and disclosure about fair value between U.S. GAAP and International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”). ASU 2011-04 will require reporting entities to disclose quantitative information about the unobservable inputs used in the fair value measurements categorized within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy. In addition, ASU 2011-04 will require reporting entities to make disclosures about amounts and reasons for all transfers in and out of Level 1 and Level 2 fair value measurements. The new and revised disclosures are effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2011. At this time, management is evaluating the implications of ASU No. 2011-04 and its impact on the financial statements has not been determined.
NOTE 3. SECURITIES VALUATION AND FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS
Fair value is defined as the price that a Fund would receive upon selling an investment in a timely transaction to an independent buyer in the principal or most advantageous market of the investment. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles in the United States of America (“GAAP”) establishes a three-tier hierarchy to maximize the use of observable market data and minimize the use of unobservable inputs and to establish classification of fair value measurements for disclosure purposes.
Inputs refer broadly to the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability, including assumptions about risk (the risk inherent in a particular valuation technique used to measure fair value such as pricing model and/or the risk inherent in the inputs to the valuation technique). Inputs may be observable or unobservable. Observable inputs are inputs that reflect the assumptions market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability developed based on market data obtained from sources independent of the reporting entity. Unobservable inputs are inputs that reflect the reporting entity’s own assumptions about the assumptions market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability developed based on the best information available in the circumstances.

NOTE 3. SECURITIES VALUATION AND FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS – (continued)
Various inputs are used in determining the value of the Fund’s investments. These inputs are summarized in the three broad levels listed below.
• | Level 1 – quoted prices in active markets for identical securities |
• | Level 2 – other significant observable inputs (including, but not limited to, quoted prices for an identical security in an inactive market, quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.) |
• | Level 3 – significant unobservable inputs (including the Fund’s own assumptions in determining fair value of investments based on the best information available) |
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 in its entirety.
Equity securities, including exchanged-traded funds and exchanged-traded notes, are generally valued by using market quotations, but may be valued on the basis of prices furnished by a pricing service when the Fund believes such prices more accurately reflect the fair value of such securities. Securities that are traded on any stock exchange are generally valued by the pricing service at the last quoted sale price. Lacking a last sale price, an exchange traded security is generally valued by the pricing service at its last bid price. Securities traded in the NASDAQ over-the-counter market are generally valued by the pricing service at the NASDAQ Official Closing Price. When using the market quotations or close prices provided by the pricing service and when the market is considered active, the security will be classified as a Level 1 security. Sometimes, an equity security owned by the Fund will be valued by the pricing service with factors other than market quotations or when the market is considered inactive. When this happens, the security will be classified as a Level 2 security. When market quotations are not readily available, when the Fund determines that the market quotation or the price provided by the pricing service does not accurately reflect the current fair value, or when certain restricted or illiquid securities are being valued, such securities are valued as determined in good faith by the Fund, in conformity with guidelines adopted by and subject to review by the Board of Trustees (the “Board”). These securities will be categorized as Level 3 securities.
Investments in mutual funds, including money market mutual funds, are generally priced at the ending net asset value (NAV) provided by the service agent of the funds. These securities will be categorized as Level 1 securities.

NOTE 3. SECURITIES VALUATION AND FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS – (continued)
Short-term investments in fixed income securities, (those with maturities of less than 60 days when acquired, or which subsequently are within 60 days of maturity), are valued by using the amortized cost method of valuation, which the Board has determined will represent fair value. These securities will be classified as Level 2 securities.
In accordance with the Trust’s good faith pricing guidelines, the Fund is required to consider all appropriate factors relevant to the value of securities for which it has determined other pricing sources are not available or reliable as described above. No single standard exists for determining fair value, because fair value depends upon the circumstances of each individual case. As a general principle, the current fair value of an issue of securities being valued by the Fund would appear to be the amount which the owner might reasonably expect to receive for them upon their current sale. Methods which are in accordance with this principle may, for example, be based on (i) a multiple of earnings; (ii) a discount from market of a similar freely traded security (including a derivative security or a basket of securities traded on other markets, exchanges or among dealers); or (iii) yield to maturity with respect to debt issues, or a combination of these and other methods. Good faith pricing is permitted if, in the Fund’s opinion, the validity of market quotations appears to be questionable based on factors such as evidence of a thin market in the security based on a small number of quotations, a significant event occurs after the close of a market but before a Fund’s NAV calculation that may affect a security’s value, or the Fund is aware of any other data that calls into question the reliability of market quotations. Good faith pricing may also be used in instances when the bonds the Fund invests in may default or otherwise cease to have market quotations readily available. Any fair valuation pricing done outside the Fund’s approved pricing methods must be approved by the Pricing Committee of the Board.
The following is a summary of the inputs used to value the Fund’s investments as of November 30, 2011:

NOTE 3. SECURITIES VALUATION AND FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS – (continued)
The Fund did not hold any investments at any time during the reporting period in which significant unobservable inputs were used in determining fair value; therefore, no reconciliation of Level 3 securities is included for this reporting period. The Fund did not hold any derivative instruments during the reporting period.
The Trust recognizes significant transfers between fair value hierarchy levels at the end of the reporting period. There were no significant transfers between any levels for the period ended November 30, 2011.
NOTE 4. FEES AND OTHER TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES
Under the terms of the management agreement, on behalf of the Fund (the “Agreement”), the Adviser manages the Fund’s investments subject to oversight of the Trustees. As compensation for its management services, the Fund is obligated to pay the Adviser a fee computed and accrued daily and paid monthly at an annual rate of 1.15% of the average daily net assets of the Fund.

At November 30, 2011, the Fund owed the Adviser $27,834 for advisory fees.
The Adviser has contractually agreed to waive or limit its fees and to assume other expenses of the Fund until September 30, 2012, so that Total Annual Fund Operating Expenses does not exceed 2.20%. This operating expense limitation does not apply to brokerage fees and commissions, borrowing costs (such as interest and dividend expenses on securities sold short), taxes, 12b-1 fees; extraordinary expenses and indirect expenses (such as “acquired funds fees and expenses”). There were no waived or reimbursed advisory fees for the period from June 27, 2011 (commencement of operations) to November 30, 2011.
The waiver and/or reimbursement by the Adviser with respect to the Fund is subject to repayment by the Fund within the three fiscal years following the fiscal year in which that particular waiver and/or reimbursement occurred, provided that the Fund is able to make the repayment without exceeding the expense limitations described above.
The Trust retains Huntington Asset Services, Inc. (“HASI”) to manage the Fund’s business affairs and provide the Fund with administrative services, including all regulatory reporting and necessary office equipment and personnel.

The Fund has adopted a Distribution Plan (the “Plan”) pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act. The Plan provides that the Fund will pay the Distributor and/or any registered securities dealer, financial institution or any other person (the “Recipient”) a shareholder servicing fee of 0.25% of the average daily net assets of the Fund in connection with the promotion and distribution of the Fund’s shares or the provision of personal services to shareholders, including, but not necessarily limited to, advertising, compensation to underwriters, dealers and selling personnel, the printing and mailing of prospectuses to other than current Fund shareholders, the printing and mailing of sales literature and servicing shareholder accounts. The Fund or Adviser may pay all or a portion of these fees to any Recipient who renders assistance in distributing or promoting the sale of shares, or who provides certain shareholder services, pursuant to a written agreement.

Approval of Investment Advisory Agreement – (Unaudited)
At a meeting held on March 10, 2011, the Board of Trustees (the “Board”) considered the initial approval of the Investment Advisory Agreement between the Trust and Longview Capital Management, LLC (the “Adviser”). Legal counsel noted that the 1940 Act requires the approval of the investment advisory and distribution agreements between the Trust and its service providers by a majority of the Independent Trustees. The Board discussed the arrangements between the Adviser and the Trust with respect to the Longview Global Allocation Fund (the “Fund”). The Board reflected on its discussions with members of the Adviser regarding the proposed Advisory Agreement, the Expense Limitation Agreement and the manner in which the Fund was to be managed.
Legal counsel referred the Board to the Board materials, which included, among other things, a memorandum from Counsel addressing the duties of Trustees regarding the approval of the proposed Advisory Agreement, a letter from Counsel to the Adviser and the Adviser’s responses to that letter, a copy of the Adviser’s financial statements, a copy of the Adviser’s Form ADV, a fee comparison analysis for the Fund and comparable mutual funds, and the Advisory Agreement and Expense Limitation Agreement. Legal Counsel reviewed with the Board the memorandum from Counsel and the proposed Advisory Agreement and Expense Limitation Agreement. He outlined the various factors the Board should consider in deciding whether to approve the Advisory Agreement.
In deciding whether to approve the agreement, the Trustees considered numerous factors, including:
1. | The nature, extent, and quality of the services to be provided by the Adviser. In this regard, the Board considered the responsibilities the Adviser would have under the Advisory Agreement. The Board reviewed the services to be provided by the Adviser to the Fund including, without limitation: the Adviser’s procedures for formulating investment recommendations and assuring compliance with the Fund’s investment objectives and limitations; the efforts of the Adviser during the Fund’s start-up phase, its coordination of services for the Fund among the Fund’s service providers, and the anticipated efforts to promote the Fund, grow its assets, and assist in the distribution of the Fund shares. The Board considered: the Adviser’s staffing, personnel, and methods of operating; the education and experience of the Adviser’s personnel; and the Adviser’s compliance program, policies, and procedures. After reviewing the foregoing and further information from the Adviser (e.g., the Adviser’s compliance programs and Form ADV), the Board concluded that the quality, extent, and nature of the services to be provided by the Adviser were satisfactory and adequate for the Fund. |
21
2. | Investment Performance of the Fund and the Adviser. The Board noted that while the Fund had not commenced operations and thus did not have investment performance information to review, that the Board could consider the investment performance of the Adviser. The Board concluded, in light of the foregoing factors, that the investment performance of the Adviser was satisfactory. |
3. | The costs of the services to be provided and profits to be realized by the Adviser from the relationship with the Fund. In this regard, the Board considered: the financial condition of the Adviser and the level of commitment to the Fund and the Adviser by the principals of the Adviser; the projected asset levels of the Fund; the Adviser’s payment of startup costs for the Fund; and the overall anticipated expenses of the Fund, including the expected nature and frequency of advisory fee payments. The Board also considered potential benefits for the Adviser in managing the Fund. The Board compared the expected fees and expenses of the Fund (including the management fee) to other funds comparable to the Fund in terms of the type of fund, the style of investment management, the anticipated size of fund and the nature of the investment strategy and markets invested in, among other factors. The Board determined that the Fund’s anticipated expense ratio, in light of the contractual Expense Limitation Agreement, and the management fee were generally comparable to those of similar funds. Following this comparison and upon further consideration and discussion of the foregoing, the Board concluded that the fees to be paid to the Adviser by the Fund were fair and reasonable. |
4. | The extent to which economies of scale would be realized as the Fund grows and whether advisory fee levels reflect these economies of scale for the benefit of the Fund’s investors. In this regard, the Board considered the Fund’s fee arrangements with the Adviser. The Board noted that the management fee had break points that would come into effect as asset levels increased and thus the Fund’s shareholders would realize the effect of economies of scales as the Fund grows. Moreover, the Board noted that at the Adviser’s inception, the shareholders of the Fund would benefit from the Expense Limitation Agreement until the Fund’s expenses fell below the expense cap. The Board also noted that the Fund would benefit from economies of scale under its agreements with service providers other than the Adviser. Following further discussion of the Fund’s projected asset levels, expectations for growth, and levels of fees, the Board determined that the Fund’s fee arrangements with the Adviser were fair and reasonable and reasonable in relation to the nature and quality of the services to be provided by the Adviser. |
5. | Possible conflicts of interest. In evaluating the possibility for conflicts of interest, the Board considered such matters as: the experience and ability of the advisory personnel assigned to the Fund; the basis of decisions to buy or sell securities for the Fund and/or the Adviser’s other accounts; the method for bunching of portfolio securities transactions; the substance and administration of the Adviser’s code of ethics and other relevant policies described in the Adviser’s Form ADV. Following |
22
further consideration and discussion, the Board indicated that the Adviser’s standards and practices relating to the identification and mitigation of potential conflicts of interest were satisfactory. |
Having considered these factors and additional information provided to the Board in advance of the meeting, the Board determined that the Advisory Agreement is fair and in the best interests of the Fund and its shareholders and unanimously approved the appointment of the Adviser to serve as the investment Adviser to the Fund under the terms and conditions set forth in the Advisory Agreement.

To Shareholders of the LS Opportunity Fund,
The LS Opportunity Fund (The “Fund”) launched on September 30, 2010 with the goal of protecting capital and delivering strong returns with reduced volatility by taking both long (i.e., to profit from an increase in price) and short (i.e., to profit from a decline in price) positions in a portfolio of publicly-traded common stocks. Relying on a fundamental, research-driven process, the Fund strives to build a diverse portfolio with approximately 35 to 50 long positions and 35 to 50 short positions in at least 10 industries. The Fund looks for industries and individual companies that either will benefit from or be hurt by larger trends. The Fund also looks for companies that are uniquely positioned within their industries and favor those that have inherent advantages over their competition.
The Fund was established by the advisory firm, Long Short Advisors, LLC. Independence Capital Asset Partners (“ICAP”), which is responsible for all day-to-day investment decisions, is the sub-advisor to the Fund. The Fund was created to offer access to the sub-advisor’s investment strategy in a mutual fund format.
As the sub-advisor of a long-short equity strategy, ICAP focuses on performance and risk management. ICAP endeavors to do what a successful investment manager should do: protect capital and deliver strong returns with managed volatility.
ICAP, founded in 2004, has an experienced investment team, which seeks to always have “more good ideas than capital.” ICAP currently has ten investment professionals managing a fundamentally driven long-short equity portfolio across separate accounts, limited partnerships and the LS Opportunity Fund. ICAP’s focus on a strong operational and compliance culture allows the investment team to maintain a sole focus on investing. For more detail on the investment and operational team, please visit our website at www.longshortadvisors.com.
The Investment Process
On the long side, the Fund invests primarily in companies whose fundamentals (e.g., growth prospects), combined with attractive valuations, indicate significant upside opportunity relative to downside risk. There will be an emphasis on companies we believe are able to generate and sustain high returns on capital, to self-finance growth, and to generate excess cash in order to enhance shareholder value. Attractive investments include established franchises that are undergoing significant positive change and “emerging growth” companies with solid fundamentals that are addressing unmet, “open-ended” business opportunities with innovative products or services.
On the short side, the Fund takes positions in companies we believe have weak or deteriorating fundamentals, which, combined with unattractive valuations, indicate significant downside risk. In addition, the Fund may use short positions in a “pair-trade” format (i.e., a strategy that matches a long position with a short position in two stocks in the same sector) to exploit valuation anomalies and dampen portfolio volatility.
The Fund generally reduces or eliminates a position in the portfolio if it (i) has reached an intrinsic value that reflects its current market value, (ii) has been revalued as new research uncovers challenges to assumptions underlying the investment case, or (iii) can be replaced by a better idea.
Management’s Discussion of Fund Performance
Given our general concerns with the overall economic environment, we ran the portfolio at a reduced net exposure for most of the trailing six-month period. While we were correct in reducing the Fund’s net equity exposure, certain long positions declined considerably more than the overall market and thus the performance for the period was disappointing.
We entered this period believing that the financial stresses in both Europe and the U.S. would result in further central bank action, which ultimately proved correct. We further believed that the oligopolistic structure of the crude oil and agriculture industries would underpin certain commodity sectors where supply and demand were favorable, which is why we maintained positions in the energy and agricultural complex. While we recognize that earnings in both of these sectors remain somewhat subject to the weakening global economy, we still believe that the businesses remain sound, cash generative, and of great value.
1
Our largest position, Liberty Capital Group (LCAPA1), struggled across the period, in some part due to investors’ reduced appetite for risk but mostly the result of price declines in Liberty Capital’s underlying holdings, most notably its interest in Sirius XM Radio Inc. (SIRI). While Sirius announced improving fundamentals during the period, investors exhibited a fair degree of skepticism toward management’s financial forecast given the darkening global economic clouds. To the Fund’s advantage, we maintained a short position in Sirius through the end of the third quarter, which mitigated the decline of our long position in LCAPA.
The Fund’s net long position in energy was also a detractor for the period. Despite our generally negative view on crude oil prices, we believed that company fundamentals and reasonable valuations would insulate our investments from a decline in the underlying commodity. That view proved mostly incorrect across this six-month stretch. We still maintain positions in Anadarko Petroleum (APC), Schlumberger (SLB), and Equitable Resources (EQT) at period end.
We also sustained losses in the agricultural sector. Our investment case was based on continued inflation in the grain markets, low grain inventories, high grain prices, and a favorable export market. These strong fundamentals were not enough to offset the pressures of a secondary offering by Mosaic (MOS) and a slight weakening of the grain markets, not to mention the market’s general aversion to risk.
With regard to the Fund’s short book, beyond our hedge positions, the Fund was primarily concentrated around the Consumer Discretionary space, which includes our short position in Sirius, and the Information Technology, Materials, and Health Care sectors. While these positions made a positive impact on performance, those gains were overwhelmed by the Fund’s overall net long position and the sharp decline in a number of our long positions.
Management Outlook
It’s our opinion that Europe’s sovereign debt crisis is the next leg of this decade’s easy money credit run. If the continent’s leaders do not restore credibility to their banking system soon, the probability of a second recession or, worse yet, a global depression rises.
In the meantime, the U.S. faces the same issues as Europe—we are just not aggressively facing them today. A move toward greater economic competitiveness, a recalibration of the U.S. tax code, and the development of a long-term solution for our insolvent entitlement systems are the most important economic issues before us this 2012 election cycle.
While the investing environment over the next several months and years will surely be difficult, our economy is vibrant and entrepreneurs and corporations will continue to push forward despite the hostile economic conditions. We need to look no further than Steve Jobs, whose genius and drive produced Apple, Inc. and created enormous opportunity for hundreds of thousands of Americans.
At ICAP, having founded our firm in 2004, we are accustomed to managing client capital during challenging periods when global markets have not simply gone up but have been flat to down. As we move forward. we will manage the Fund with the philosophy that the next seven years will be just as challenging. Challenging periods and short-term disappointments notwithstanding, we will continually strive to make the LS Opportunity Fund a success.
Thank you for choosing the LS Opportunity Fund as a place to invest your assets.

The LS Opportunity Fund seeks to generate long term capital appreciation by investing in both long and short positions within a portfolio consisting of primarily publicly-traded common stock, with less risk than that of the stock market in general.
Availability of Portfolio Schedule – (Unaudited)
The Fund files its complete schedule of portfolio holdings with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) for the first and third quarters of each fiscal year on Form N-Q. The Fund’s Forms N-Q are available at the SEC’s website at www.sec.gov. The Forms N-Q may be reviewed and copied at the Public Reference Room in Washington DC. Information on the operation of the Public Reference Room may be obtained by calling 1-800-SEC-0330.
About The Fund’s Expenses – (Unaudited)
As a shareholder of the Fund, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs (such as short-term redemption fees); and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees; and other Fund expenses. This Example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds. The Example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period, and held for the entire period from June 1, 2011 to November 30, 2011.
Actual Expenses
The first line of the table below provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this line, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.60), then multiply the result by the number in the first line under the heading entitled “Expenses Paid During the Period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.
5
Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes
The second line of the table below provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Fund’s actual expense ratios and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Fund’s actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Fund and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds.
Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transactional costs, such as sales charges (loads), redemption fees, or exchange fees. Therefore, the second line of the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transactional costs were included, your costs would have been higher.

Notes to the Financial Statements
November 30, 2011
(Unaudited)
NOTE 1. ORGANIZATION
The LS Opportunity Fund (the “Fund”) is an open-end, non-diversified series of the Valued Advisers Trust (the “Trust”). The Trust is a management investment company established under the laws of Delaware by an Agreement and Declaration of Trust dated June 13, 2008 (the “Trust Agreement”). The Trust Agreement permits the Trustees to issue an unlimited number of shares of beneficial interest of separate series without par value. The Fund is one of a series of funds authorized by the Board of Trustees (the “Board”). The Fund’s investment Advisor is Long Short Advisors, LLC (the “Advisor”). The Advisor has retained Independence Capital Asset Partners, LLC (the “Sub-Advisor”) to serve as Sub-Advisor to provide portfolio management and related services to the Fund. The Sub-Advisor receives a fee from the Advisor (not the Fund) for these services. The investment objective of the Fund is to generate long term capital appreciation by investing in both long and short positions within a portfolio consisting of primarily publicly-traded common stock, with less risk than that of the stock market in general.
NOTE 2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The following is a summary of significant accounting policies followed by the Fund in the preparation of its financial statements.
Securities Valuation – All investments in securities are recorded at their estimated fair value as described in Note 3.
Federal Income Taxes – The Fund makes no provision for federal income or excise tax. The Fund intends to qualify each year as a “regulated investment company” (“RIC”) under subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, by complying with the requirements applicable to RICs and by distributing substantially all of its taxable income. The Fund also intends to distribute sufficient net investment income and net capital gains, if any, so that it will not be subject to excise tax on undistributed income and gains. If the required amount of net investment income or gains is not distributed, the Fund could incur a tax expense.
As of and during the six months ended November 30, 2011, the Fund did not have a liability for any unrecognized tax benefits. The Fund recognizes interest and penalties, if any, related to unrecognized tax benefits as income tax expense in the Statement of Operations. During the year, the Fund did not incur any interest or penalties. The Fund is subject to examination by U.S. federal tax authorities for all open tax years.
Expenses – Expenses incurred by the Trust that do not relate to a specific fund of the Trust are allocated to the individual funds based on each fund’s relative net assets or other appropriate basis (as determined by the Board).
Security Transactions and Related Income – The Fund follows industry practice and records security transactions on the trade date. The Last In First Out (“LIFO”) method is used for determining gains or losses for financial statements and income tax purposes. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date and interest income is recorded on an accrual basis. Distributions from Limited Partnerships are recognized on the ex-date. Income or loss from Limited Partnerships is reclassified in the components of net assets upon receipt of K-1’s. Discounts and premiums on securities purchased are amortized or accreted using the effective interest method. Withholding taxes on foreign dividends have been provided for in accordance with the Fund’s understanding of the applicable country’s tax rules and rates.
Redemption Fees – The Fund charges a 2.00% redemption fee for shares redeemed within 60 days. These fees are deducted from the redemption proceeds otherwise payable to the shareholder. The Fund will retain the fee charged as an increase in paid-in capital and such fees become part of the Fund’s daily NAV calculation.

NOTE 2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES - continued
Foreign Currency Translations – Foreign currency amounts are translated into U.S. dollars as follows: (i) assets and liabilities at the rate of exchange at the end of the respective period; and (ii) purchases and sales of securities and income and expenses at the rate of exchange prevailing on the dates of such transactions. The portion of the results of operations arising from changes in the exchange rates and the portion due to fluctuations arising from changes in the market prices of securities are not isolated. Such fluctuations are included with the net realized and unrealized gain or loss on investments.
The Fund may enter into transactions to purchase or sell foreign currencies to protect the U.S. dollar value of its underlying portfolio securities against the effect of possible adverse movements in foreign exchange rates. Principal risks associated with such transactions include the movement in value of the foreign currency relative to the U.S. dollar and the ability of the counterparty to perform. Fluctuations in the value of such forward currency transactions are recorded daily as unrealized gain or loss; realized gain or loss includes net gain or loss on transactions that have terminated by settlement or by a fund entering into offsetting commitments. These instruments involve market risk, credit risk, or both kinds of risks, in excess of the amount recognized in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Risks arise from the possible inability of counterparties to meet the terms of their contracts and from movement in currency and securities values and interest rates.
Dividends and Distributions - The Fund intends to distribute substantially all of its net investment income, net realized long-term capital gains and its net realized short-term capital gains, if any, to its shareholders on at least an annual basis. Dividends to shareholders, which are determined in accordance with income tax regulations, are recorded on the ex-dividend date. The treatment for financial reporting purposes of distributions made to shareholders during the year from net investment income or net realized capital gains may differ from their ultimate treatment for federal income tax purposes. These differences are caused primarily by differences in the timing of the recognition of certain components of income, expense or realized capital gain for federal income tax purposes. Where such differences are permanent in nature, they are reclassified in the components of net assets based on their ultimate characterization for federal income tax purposes. Any such reclassifications will have no effect on net assets, results of operations or net asset values per share of the Fund.
Short Sales - The Fund may make short sales as part of its overall portfolio management strategies or to offset a potential decline in value of a security. The Fund may engage in short sales with respect to various types of securities, including ETFs. A short sale involves the sale of a security that is borrowed from a broker or other institution to complete the sale. The Fund may engage in short sales with respect to securities it owns, as well as securities that it does not own. Short sales expose the Fund to the risk that it will be required to acquire, convert or exchange securities to replace the borrowed securities (also known as “covering” the short position) at a time when the securities sold short have appreciated in value, thus resulting in a loss to the Fund. The Fund’s investment performance may also suffer if the Fund is required to close out a short position earlier than it had intended. The Fund must segregate assets determined to be liquid in accordance with procedures established by the Board of Trustees, or otherwise cover its position in a permissible manner. The Fund will be required to pledge its liquid assets to the broker in order to secure its performance on short sales. As a result, the assets pledged may not be available to meet the Fund’s needs for immediate cash or other liquidity. In addition, the Fund may be subject to expenses related to short sales that are not typically associated with investing in securities directly, such as costs of borrowing and margin account maintenance costs associated with the Fund’s open short positions. These types of short sales expenses are sometimes referred to as the “negative cost of carry,” and will tend to cause the Fund to lose money on a short sale even in instances where the price of the underlying security sold short does not change over the duration of the short sale. Dividend expenses on securities sold short are not covered under the Advisor’s expense limitation agreement with the Fund and, therefore, these expenses will be borne by the shareholders of the Fund.

NOTE 3. SECURITIES VALUATION AND FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS
Fair value is defined as the price that a Fund would receive upon selling an investment in a timely transaction to an independent buyer in the principal or most advantageous market of the investment. GAAP establishes a three-tier hierarchy to maximize the use of observable market data and minimize the use of unobservable inputs and to establish classification of fair value measurements for disclosure purposes.
Inputs refer broadly to the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability, including assumptions about risk (the risk inherent in a particular valuation technique used to measure fair value such as pricing model and/or the risk inherent in the inputs to the valuation technique). Inputs may be observable or unobservable. Observable inputs are inputs that reflect the assumptions market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability developed based on market data obtained from sources independent of the reporting entity. Unobservable inputs are inputs that reflect the reporting entity’s own assumptions about the assumptions market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability developed based on the best information available in the circumstances.
Various inputs are used in determining the value of the Fund’s investments. These inputs are summarized in the three broad levels listed below.
• | Level 1 – quoted prices in active markets for identical securities |
• | Level 2 – other significant observable inputs (including, but not limited to, quoted prices for an identical security in an inactive market, quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.) |
• | Level 3 – significant unobservable inputs (including the Fund’s own assumptions in determining fair value of investments based on the best information available) |
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 in its entirety.
Equity securities, including common stock, exchange-traded funds, American Depositary Receipts, and limited partnerships are generally valued by using market quotations, furnished by a pricing service. Securities that are traded on any stock exchange are generally valued at the last quoted sale price. Lacking a last sale price, an exchange traded security is generally valued at its last bid price. Securities traded in the NASDAQ over-the-counter market are generally valued at the NASDAQ Official Closing Price. When using the market quotations or close prices provided by the pricing service and when the market is considered active, the security is classified as a Level 1 security. Sometimes, an equity security owned by the Fund will be valued by the pricing service with factors other than market quotations or when the market is considered inactive. When this happens, the security is classified as a Level 2 security. When market quotations are not readily available, when the Fund determines that the market quotation or the price provided by the pricing service does not accurately reflect the current fair value, or when restricted or illiquid securities are being valued, such securities are valued as determined in good faith by the Fund, in conformity with guidelines adopted by and subject to review by the Board. These securities are categorized as Level 3 securities.
Investments in mutual funds, including money market mutual funds, are generally priced at the ending net asset value (NAV) provided by the service agent of the funds. These securities are categorized as Level 1 securities.

NOTE 3. SECURITIES VALUATION AND FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS – continued
Call and put options that the Fund invests in are generally traded on an exchange. The options in which the Fund invests are generally valued at the last trade price as provided by a pricing service. If the last sale price is not available, the options will be valued using the last bid price. The options will generally be categorized as Level 1 securities.
If the Fund decides that a price provided by the pricing service does not accurately reflect the fair value of the securities, when prices are not readily available from a pricing service, or when restricted or illiquid securities are being valued, securities are valued at fair value as determined in good faith by the Fund, in conformity with guidelines adopted by and subject to review of the Board. These securities will be categorized as Level 3 securities.

The Fund did not hold any investments at any time during the reporting period in which significant unobservable inputs were used in determining fair value; therefore, no reconciliation of Level 3 securities is included for this reporting period. The Fund did not hold any derivative instruments during the reporting period.
The Trust recognizes significant transfers between fair value hierarchy levels at the reporting period end. There were no significant transfers between Levels as of November 30, 2011.

NOTE 4. FEES AND OTHER TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES
The Advisor, under the terms of the management agreement (the “Agreement”), manages the Fund’s investments. As compensation for its management services, the Fund is obligated to pay the Advisor a fee computed and accrued daily and paid monthly at an annual rate of 1.75% of the Fund’s average net assets. For the six months ended November 30, 2011, the Advisor earned a fee of $313,476 from the Fund before the reimbursement described below.
The Advisor has contractually agreed to waive its management fee and/or reimburse certain Fund operating expenses (excluding interest, taxes, brokerage commissions, other expenditures which are capitalized in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, other extraordinary expenses not incurred in the ordinary course of the Fund’s business, dividend expense on short sales, and expenses that the Fund has incurred but did not actually pay because of an expense offset arrangement) so that total expenses do not exceed 2.50% of net assets. For the six months ended November 30, 2011, the Advisor recouped fees of $1,045. At November 30, 2011, the Advisor was owed $69,915 from the Fund for advisory services. The waiver and/or reimbursement by the Advisor with respect to the Fund is subject to repayment by the Fund within the three fiscal years following the fiscal year in which that particular waiver and/or reimbursement occurred, provided that the Fund is able to make the repayment without exceeding the expense limitations described above. The amount subject to repayment by the Fund pursuant to the aforementioned conditions at May 31, 2011 was:
Amount | Recoverable through May 31, | |
$114,870 | 2014 |
The Advisor has retained Independence Capital Asset Partners, LLC (the “Sub-Advisor”) to serve as Sub-Advisor to provide portfolio management and related services to the Fund. The Sub-Advisor receives a fee from the Advisor (not the Fund) for these services. The Trust retains Huntington Asset Services, Inc. (“HASI”), to manage the Fund’s business affairs and to provide the Fund with administrative services, including all regulatory reporting and necessary office equipment and personnel. For the six months ended November 30, 2011, HASI earned fees of $18,775 for administrative services provided to the Fund. At November 30, 2011, the Fund owed HASI $2,829 for administrative services. Certain officers of the Trust are members of management and/or employees of HASI. A trustee of the Trust is a member of management of HASI. HASI operates as a wholly-owned subsidiary of Huntington Bancshares, Inc., the parent company of Unified Financial Securities, Inc. (the “Distributor”).
The Trust retains HASI to act as the Fund’s transfer agent and to provide fund accounting services. For the six months ended November 30, 2011, HASI earned fees of $22,782 from the Fund for transfer agent services. For the six months ended November 30, 2011, HASI earned fees of $25,627 from the Fund for fund accounting services. At November 30, 2011, the Fund owed HASI $4,705 for transfer agent services and $6,567 for fund accounting services.
The Distributor acts as the principal distributor of the Fund’s shares. There were no payments made to the Distributor by the Fund for the six months ended November 30, 2011. An officer of the Trust is an officer of the Distributor and such person may be deemed to be an affiliate of the Distributor.

Net Appreciation | $ | 2,254,870 | ||
|
|
At November 30, 2011, the aggregate cost of securities for federal income tax purposes, was $16,781,551.
NOTE 6. 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 disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of increases and decreases in net assets from operations during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
NOTE 7. BENEFICIAL OWNERSHIP
The Trust does not know whether Charles Schwab, National Financial Services, Inc., or any of the accounts having a beneficial interest in accounts held of record by Charles Schwab or National Financial Services, Inc. (the “Underlying Accounts”) hold beneficially 25% or more of the outstanding voting securities of the Fund. Accordingly, it is not known whether either Charles Schwab, National Financial Services, Inc., or any of the Underlying Accounts could be deemed to control the Fund.
NOTE 8. DISTRIBUTIONS TO SHAREHOLDERS
The Fund did not make any distributions during the six months ended November 30, 2011.

NOTE 9. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
The Fund indemnifies its officers and trustees for certain liabilities that may arise from their performance of their duties to the Fund. Additionally, in the normal course of business, the Fund enters into contracts that contain a variety of representations and warranties which provide general indemnifications. The Fund’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown, as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Fund that have not yet occurred.
NOTE 10. TAX COMPONENTS OF CAPITAL
At May 31, 2011, the components of distributable earnings on a tax basis were as follows:
Undistributed ordinary income | $ | 104,483 | ||
Unrealized appreciation (depreciation) | 1,373,511 | |||
Capital losses and other | (13,490 | ) | ||
|
| |||
$ | 1,464,504 | |||
|
|
The differences between the federal income tax cost of investments and the financial statements is due to certain differences in the recognition of capital gains or losses under income tax reporting regulations and GAAP. For tax purposes, the current year post-October loss was $4,208 (realized during the period November 1, 2010 through May 31, 2011). This loss will be recognized for tax purposes on the first business day of the Fund’s next fiscal year, June 1, 2011.
The difference between components of distributable earnings on a tax basis and the amounts reflected in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities are primarily due to wash sales, post-October losses, partnerships, and grantor trusts.
