An Owner’s Manual | IVA Funds |
An Atypical Investment Strategy
We manage both the IVA Worldwide and IVA International Funds with a dual attempt that is unusual in the mutual fund world: in the short-term (12-18 months), our attempt is to try to preserve capital, while in the longer-term (5-10 years, i.e., over a full economic cycle), we attempt to perform better than the MSCI All Country World Index, in the case of your IVA Worldwide Fund, and the MSCI All Country World Ex-U.S. Index, in the case of your IVA International Fund.
The Worldwide Fund is typically used by investors who are looking for an “all weather fund” where we are given the latitude to decide how much we should have in the U.S. versus outside the U.S. The International Fund is typically used by investors who practice asset allocation and want to decide for themselves how much should be allocated to a domestic manager and how much should be allocated to a pure “international” (i.e., non-U.S.) manager, yet at the same time are looking for a lower risk – and lower volatility – exposure to international markets than may be obtained from a more traditional international fund.
We believe our investment approach is very different from the traditional approach of most mutual funds. We are trying to deliver returns that are as absolute as possible, i.e., returns that try to be as resilient as possible in down markets, while many of our competitors try to deliver good relative performance, i.e., try to beat an index, and thus would be fine with being down 15% if their benchmark is down 20%.
Why do we have such an unusual strategy (which, incidentally, is not easy to carry out)? Because we believe this strategy makes sense for many investors. We are fond of the quote by Mark Twain: “There are two times in a man’s life when he should not speculate: the first time is when he cannot afford to; the second time is when he can.” We realize that many investors cannot tolerate high volatility and appreciate that “life’s bills do not always come at market tops.” This strategy also appeals to us at International Value Advisers since we “eat our own cooking” for a significant part of our savings (invested in IVA products) and we have an extreme aversion to losing money.
An Eclectic Investment Approach
Here is how we try to implement our strategy:
![]() | We don’t hug benchmarks. In practical terms, this means we are willing to make big “negative bets,” i.e., having nothing or little in what has become big in the benchmark. Conversely, we will generally seek to avoid overly large positive bets. | |
![]() | We prefer having diversified portfolios (100 to 150 names). Because we invest on a global basis, we believe that diversification helps protect against weak corporate governance or insufficient disclosure, or simply against “unknown unknowns.” | |
![]() | We like the flexibility to invest in small, medium and large companies, depending on where we see value. | |
![]() | We attempt to capture equity-type returns through fixed income securities but predominantly when credit markets (or sub-sets of them) are depressed and offer this potential. | |
![]() | We hold some gold, either in bullion form or via gold mining securities, as we feel it provides a good hedge in either an inflationary or deflationary period. | |
![]() | We are willing to hold cash when we cannot find enough cheap securities that we like or when we find some, yet the broader market (Mr. Market) seems fully priced. We will seek to use that cash as ammunition for future bargains. | |
![]() | At the individual security level, we ask a lot of questions about “what can go wrong?” and will establish not only a “base case intrinsic value” but also a “worst case scenario” (What could prove us wrong? If we were wrong, are we likely to lose 25%, 30%, or even more of the money invested?). As a result, we will miss some opportunities, yet hopefully, we will also avoid instances where we experience a permanent impairment of value. |

Letter from the President | IVA Funds |
![]() | Dear Shareholder, Your two mutual funds, the IVA Worldwide Fund and the IVA International Fund (“the Funds”), recently completed the first six months of their fifth year of operation. The very difficult markets of 2008 and early 2009 are in the past (but not forgotten) as many major global equity indices reached new highs in early 2013. These new market highs are partially being propelled by government and central bankers’ aggressive assault on interest rates (downward), exchange rates and asset prices. In light of this manipulation we read more and more about the equity market’s strength and less and less about the cumulative risks associated with these policies, the tepid global GDP growth, the still destructive rate of unemployment in this country and abroad, and the need for most European financial institutions to inject additional equity capital into their balance sheets (Germany’s largest bank by assets announced an equity sale as I began writing this letter). It is important to keep in mind that Charles de Vaulx and Chuck de Lardemelle have navigated market environments like this before and IVA remains committed to attempting to deliver returns that are as absolute as possible; returns that are as resilient as possible in down markets. While Charles, Chuck and their team of investment analysts calculate intrinsic values in search of return, we will not pursue investments while ignoring their risks. Even though markets, television pundits, and newspapers are focusing less on historically high margins, central bank assistance in propelling interest rates lower and asset prices higher, and the waning commitment to austerity across Italy, Spain, Ireland and Portugal, we are acutely aware that risks abound in today’s financial markets. While these risks are widespread, the most troubling conclusion for IVA is that most stocks appear to be fully priced. When investing at IVA, the price of a stock, which equates to a percentage ownership of a company at a known set of valuation metrics, is the most important principle. Today, as risks appear abundant and as equity markets are hitting new highs, we remain committed to only making investments on our clients’ behalf when the price of a security affords us a sufficient discount to our estimate of intrinsic value and will divorce emotion from the construction of our portfolios. |
Strengthening IVA continues to be a rewarding experience. We hope that in the process, we are shaping a culture where everyone associated with IVA respects the work we are doing for our clients.
I want to offer thanks to all of my colleagues and to our shareholders for their continued support.
Sincerely,
Michael W. Malafronte, President
Effective February 22, 2011, the IVA Worldwide Fund and IVA International Fund are closed to new investors.

Letter from the Portfolio Managers | IVA Funds |
![]() | May 1, 2013 Dear Shareholder, Over the period under review, October 1, 2012 to March 31, 2013, central bankers around the world have continued to drown markets in liquidity and manipulate government debt prices. In Japan, in particular, political changes led to the nomination of three new Bank of Japan (BoJ) board members. The BoJ then announced a very aggressive printing exercise, buying long-term Japanese government bonds as well as other assets. The short-term consequences of these moves were a sharp Japanese yen devaluation (from ¥78 per USD on October 1, 2012, to ¥94 on March 31, 2013 and ¥99 currently) and a strong rally in Japanese equities. Both the IVA International and IVA Worldwide Funds have a sizeable portion of their assets invested in Japan; despite the fact that these investments were mostly in shares of local companies with few exports and very strong balance sheets, this rally, coupled with partial hedges in place on the currency, helped deliver a solid absolute return for this period. While valuations in Japan were severely depressed before these events (the market as a whole was selling below book value), corporate governance and capital allocation in general remain dreadful in that country. Valuations are still reasonable today even after a 55% rally on the Nikkei 225 Index (which is comprised of Japan’s top 225 blue-chip companies on the Tokyo Stock Exchange) from October 1, 2012 to May 1, 2013. For the rally to continue and prove sustainable however, some pick up in consumption and the economy in Japan would be beneficial, as well as structural reforms in a number of areas; there are signs that this could be happening on the consumption side, none on the reform side so far. While potentially boosting consumption and GDP growth in the short-term, these policies may have negative consequences longer term in Japan. For instance, if consumption picks up, this would lead to less saving and therefore Japan may find itself in a situation where it needs to borrow from foreigners to fund very large budget deficits. Given the amount of Japanese government bonds (JGBs) currently outstanding (over 200% of GDP), the stated goal of 2% inflation and 10-year JGB yields currently below 0.6%, attracting foreign capital to fund budget deficits may not be so easy... We have trimmed and continue to reduce our exposure to Japan, holding on to the higher quality companies we already own as long as valuations remain reasonable while selling less liquid investments or stakes in companies where management has not demonstrated an ability to allocate capital properly over the last few years. While the current policy may help in the short-term in Japan, it may carry the seeds of severe wealth destruction through inflation or hyperinflation five to 10 years down the road. A large current account deficit, over 3% of GDP, would be, in our opinion, highly problematic for Japan and could potentially trigger a crisis. Time will tell; it is possible that the negative side effects of global quantitative easing (read printing money hand over fist, market manipulation and financial repression) will show up in Japan first. In the meantime, we continue to enjoy this rally, taking some profits along the way. |

Letter from the Portfolio Managers | IVA Funds |
Europe continues to be a source of frustration for us at IVA. In the midst of a double dip recession with difficult, if not intractable political issues, you’d think this part of the world would be a fertile hunting ground for value investors. What we find, however, is a tale of two markets: banks, utilities and telecom companies have suffered tremendous and very fundamental setbacks since 2007 and are therefore down substantially, dragging indices down; while high quality, global companies headquartered in Europe tend to trade at all-time highs and be very pricey. In the middle you’ll find a number of cyclical companies with debt, usually not that cheap, and where balance sheets are far from pristine; the somewhat deflationary setup in Europe (the European Central Bank is now shrinking its balance sheet while loans to the private sector in Europe are contracting modestly) warrants caution on indebted cyclical companies.
We have done well recently with a number of small and mid-caps in Europe that were misunderstood. We continue to look for opportunities in the Old Continent but without much success over the period.
For the IVA Worldwide Fund, in the U.S., we have emphasized quality of capital allocation and management. In a world of anemic global growth constrained by too much debt, reinvesting free cash flow properly will make even more of a difference than in the past. While we found a number of opportunities in the second half of last year, they are now few and far between, given the continued appreciation of U.S. stock indices.
Emerging markets have performed poorly on a relative basis for a while now; we had almost no direct investment in the BRIC countries (Brazil, Russia, India and China) in recent time. However, we made our first investment in Brazil over the period; we are also currently adding a name listed in Hong Kong doing business exclusively in China. But these markets are not cheap enough for us to make large commitments. In China in particular, we worry about massive misallocation of capital and a potentially moribund banking sector.
No opportunities to report in high yield debt either! In fact, we are witnessing the mirror image of 2008-2009. At that time high yield bonds were offering very attractive opportunities, more than equity-like returns with less risk than equities. Not the case today. We view equity-like returns currently at roughly 6%, versus 8-10% in the past; despite our lowering the bar, we cannot find decent credits today yielding 6%. Our remaining high yield exposure is of short duration overall (less than 3 years) and comprised mostly of remnants of investments made in previous years.
A word on gold: the yellow metal has acted poorly since September 2011 – it topped around $1900/oz, and did not go up when the Swiss Central Bank decided to peg the Swiss franc to the euro at the time. Since then, Bernanke announced more printing and so has the BoJ. Yet gold has continued to drift down, finally capitulating a few weeks ago, mid-April, when gold fell from $1560/oz to $1322/oz, the intraday low price of gold, in two days.
We look at gold as a currency that central bankers cannot debase. The gold price remains reasonable in our opinion vis-à-vis U.S. dollars in circulation (physical dollars printed by the U.S. Federal Reserve). On the other hand gold, at over $1800/oz was expensive vis-a-vis housing in the U.S. (as measured by the number of ounces of gold necessary to buy a median-priced house in the U.S.) or the median wage in the U.S. We have, for the most part, avoided miners and continue to do so. So far we have not taken advantage of the weak price of gold to add to our position; partly because the price was not cheap enough, partly because we have fewer equities in the portfolio, so less gold was required. We believe

Letter from the Portfolio Managers | IVA Funds |
that gold remains a reasonably priced hedge worth having in a portfolio, especially in this age of “quantitative easing.”
In conclusion, while equities may look attractive relative to government paper, we prefer to err on the side of caution. The argument in favor of equities is a relative one, and markets are being manipulated very heavily these days. Only time will reveal the extent of asset misallocations triggered by these policies. The recent track record of central bankers (1995 to today) does not inspire confidence. We also note the unusual divergence between commodity prices and equity indices of late: from October 1, 2012 to May 1, 2013, the Commodity Research Bureau Index (CRB) was down 9% while the MSCI All Country World Index (Net) was up 12%.
Diversification, strong franchises, capable management teams, solid balance sheets, and discipline when it comes to price; these simple characteristics and principles shall see us through this treacherous investment landscape.
We appreciate your continued confidence and thank you for your support.

Management’s Discussion of Fund Performance (unaudited) | IVA Funds |
Global equity markets delivered strong returns over this six month period ending March 31, 2013, with the Dow Jones Industrial Average closing at a record high in March. U.S. equity markets continued to react positively to money printing by the Federal Reserve as well as some signs (housing, job creation) that the economic recovery is gaining some traction. Japanese equity markets surged over the period as Japan’s new Prime Minister pledged aggressive monetary policies and urged the central bank to commit to a 2% annual inflation target by 2015 or early 2016. Also, worldwide and despite a recession in the euro zone, corporate profits appeared to be holding up nicely.
As global equity markets rose, we trimmed or sold a few stocks that were close to or met our intrinsic value estimate. In the IVA Worldwide Fund, our total equity exposure declined to 58.0% on March 31, 2013 from 63.0% on September 30, 2012, while our total cash exposure increased to 21.1% from 15.8% over the same period. In the IVA International Fund, our total equity exposure fell to 55.3% on March 31, 2013 from 57.1% on September 30, 2012, while our total cash exposure rose to 23.5% from 22.2% over the same period.
Japanese equities were a large contributor to both Funds’ return this period following the election of a new Prime Minister, Shinzo Abe, in December 2012. Over this six month period, while the Japanese yen weakened -20.8% versus the U.S. dollar, the TOPIX Total Return Index rose about 41.8% in JPY (17.3% in USD), making it one of the best performing global equity markets. As we acknowledged that this new Prime Minister was eager to weaken the yen, we increased our hedge against the yen by about 10 percentage points in both Funds in January 2013 and as of March 31, 2013, our hedge was 40.8% in the IVA Worldwide Fund and 50.9% in the IVA International Fund.
Over the reporting period gold bullion averaged a return of about -9.9% and was the largest individual detractor from both Funds’ return. Because we were net sellers of equities over the period, we simultaneously reduced our exposure to gold by trimming our gold mining stocks. As of March 31, 2013, our gold exposure represented 4.9% of the IVA Worldwide Fund and 4.8% of the IVA International Fund, with gold mining stocks being 0.1% of that total in both Funds.
IVA Worldwide Fund
The IVA Worldwide Fund Class A shares, at net asset value, returned 7.46% for the six month period ending March 31, 2013. The MSCI All Country World Index (Net) (the “Index”) returned 9.57% over the same period.
Our equities (ex-gold mining stocks) averaged gains of 13.3% versus the Index at 9.6% over the period, due to good security selection among technology stocks, as well as U.S. and French equities. Our technology stocks averaged a return of 16.9% versus those in the Index at 2.3% and added 2.2% to the return, led by Dell Inc. (technology, U.S.) and Applied Materials, Inc. (technology, U.S.). We trimmed our exposure to this sector over the period, from 15.0% to 12.4%, and sold securities such as JDA Software Group, Inc. (the Company was the target of a tender offer for cash) and Symantec Corp. The consumer discretionary and industrials sectors delivered solid returns over the period, and together added 3.2% to our return versus the benchmark adding 3.0%, led by Teleperformance (industrials, France) and the Washington Post Co. Class “B” (consumer discretionary, U.S.), which were among our top individual contributors to return. The only equity sector to detract from our return was utilities, -0.2%, due to poor performance from GDF Suez SA (utilities, France). Our underweight exposure to financials was among the largest detractors from relative results, as this sector added 3.2% to the benchmark’s return versus 0.7% to our return.

Management’s Discussion of Fund Performance (unaudited) | IVA Funds |
By country, our equities in the U.S. performed well, averaging gains of 15.4% versus the Index at 10.1%, and contributed 4.6% to our return, led by Berkshire Hathaway Inc., Class “A” and Class “B” (holding company, U.S.). Additionally, our equities in France performed well, averaging a return of 16.5% versus the Index at 11.1% and added 1.6% to our return. Our Japanese equities also added 0.6% to the return. The only country to detract from our return over the period was South Africa, -0.1%, as Net 1 U.E.P.S. Technologies Inc. (technology, South Africa) was among our worst individual contributors to return since its share price fell following news it was subject to an investigation by the U.S. Department of Justice.
Over the period, our fixed income holdings collectively averaged a return of 2.7% and added 0.5% to the return, with our corporate bonds averaging a positive return of 5.0%, while our sovereign bonds averaged a negative return of -0.8%.
Our forward foreign currency contracts, which are used to hedge currency risk, contributed about 0.6% to return over the period. Individually, our Japanese yen hedge added 0.7% to the return, while our euro and South Korean won hedges collectively detracted approximately -0.1% from the return.
Other individual detractors from return this period included: IAMGOLD Corp. (gold mining, Canada) and Devon Energy Corp. (energy, U.S.).
IVA International Fund
The IVA International Fund Class A shares, at net asset value, returned 7.73% for the six month period ending March 31, 2013. The MSCI All Country World (ex-U.S.) Index (Net) (the “Index”) returned 9.20% over the same period.
Our equities (ex-gold mining stocks) averaged a return of 13.7% versus the Index at 9.2%, due to solid returns from consumer discretionary and industrials stocks, as well as our French equities. Our consumer discretionary stocks averaged gains of 19.3% versus those in the Index at 16.4% and added 2.5% to our return, led by Sodexo SA (consumer discretionary, France) and Lagardère SCA (consumer discretionary, France). Additionally, our industrials stocks performed well and added 2.3% to the return, led by gains from Teleperformance (industrials, France), Temp Holdings Co., Ltd. (industrials, Japan), and Bolloré (industrials, France). These three companies were among our top individual contributors to return and together added 1.6% to the return. The only equity sector to detract from our return was utilities, -0.3%, as GDF Suez SA (utilities, France) was among our worst individual contributors to return. Our underweight exposure to financials was among the largest detractors from relative results as this sector added 3.7% to the benchmark’s return versus 0.7% to our return.
By country, our equities in France led gains by averaging a return of 17.1% versus those in the Index at 11.1% and added 3.1% to our return. Additionally, our Japanese equities added 1.7% to the return. The only country to detract from our return over the period was South Africa, -0.2%, as Net 1 U.E.P.S. Technologies Inc. (technology, South Africa) was among our worst individual contributors to return since its share price fell following news it was subject to an investigation by the U.S. Department of Justice.
Over the period, our fixed income holdings collectively averaged a return of 2.2% and added 0.4% to the return, with our corporate bonds averaging a positive return of 5.4%, while our sovereign bonds averaged a negative return of -0.4%.
8 |
Management’s Discussion of Fund Performance (unaudited) | IVA Funds |
Our forward foreign currency contracts, which are used to hedge currency risk, contributed about 1.5% to return over the period. Individually, our Japanese yen hedge added 1.6% to the return, while our Australian dollar, euro, and South Korean won hedges collectively detracted approximately -0.1% from the return.
Other individual detractors from return this period included: IAMGOLD Corp. (gold mining, Canada) and Newcrest Mining Ltd. (gold mining, Australia).
Investment Risks: There are risks associated with investing in funds that invest in securities of foreign countries, such as erratic market conditions, economic and political instability and fluctuations in currency exchange rates. Value-based investments are subject to the risk that the broad market may not recognize their intrinsic value.

(a) | The Fund commenced investment operations on October 1, 2008. Total returns for periods of less than one year are not annualized. | |
(b) | The MSCI All Country World (ex-U.S.) Index (Net) is an unmanaged, free float-adjusted, market capitalization weighted index composed of stocks of companies located in countries throughout the world, excluding the United States. It is designed to measure equity market performance in global, developed and emerging markets outside the United States. The Index includes reinvestment of dividends, net of foreign withholding taxes. Please note that an investor cannot invest directly in an index. | |
(c) | The Consumer Price Index examines the weighted average of prices of a basket of consumer goods and services, such as transportation, food and medical care. Please note that an investor cannot invest directly in an index. | |
(d) | Hypothetical illustration of $10,000 invested in Class A shares on October 1, 2008, assuming the deduction of the maximum initial sales charge of 5% at the time of investment for Class A shares and the reinvestment of all distributions, including returns of capital, if any, at net asset value through March 31, 2013. The performance of the Fund’s other classes may be greater or less than the Class A shares’ performance indicated on this chart depending on whether greater or lesser sales charges and fees were incurred by shareholders investing in the other classes. |
Past performance is no guarantee of future results. The performance data quoted represents past performance and current returns may be lower or higher. The investment return and principal value will fluctuate so that an investor’s shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than the original cost. The returns do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on Fund distributions or the redemption of Fund shares. To obtain performance information current to the most recent month-end, please call 866-941-4482. |
The maximum sales charge for Class A shares is 5.00%. Class C shares may include a 1.00% contingent deferred sales charge for the first year only. The gross and net expense ratios for the Fund are as follows: 1.27% (Class A shares); 2.02% (Class C shares); and 1.02% (Class I shares). These expense ratios are as stated in the most recent Prospectus dated January 31, 2013. More recent expense ratios can be found in the Financial Highlights section of this Semi-Annual Report. |

Note 1 – Organization and Significant Accounting Policies
IVA Fiduciary Trust (the “Trust”) consists of the IVA Worldwide Fund (the “Worldwide Fund”) and IVA International Fund (the “International Fund”) (each, a “Fund” and, together, the “Funds”). The Worldwide Fund and the International Fund are each an investment portfolio of the Trust, an open-end series management investment company registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”), and organized as a Massachusetts business trust. The Funds commenced investment operations on October 1, 2008. The Worldwide Fund seeks long-term growth of capital by investing in a range of securities and asset classes from markets around the world, including U.S. markets. The International Fund seeks long-term growth of capital by investing in a range of securities and asset classes from markets around the world.
The following are significant accounting policies followed by the Funds in the preparation of their financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”). The financial statements have been prepared as of March 28, 2013, the final dealing date for the period ended March 31, 2013.
Use of Estimates. Preparation of these financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires the Funds’ management to make estimates and assumptions that may affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and related notes. Actual results could differ from these estimates.
Valuation of the Funds. The net asset value per share (“NAV”) of a Fund’s shares of a particular class is calculated each day that the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) is open.
Listed equity securities are generally valued at the last sale price on the exchange that is the primary market for such securities. Equity securities listed on the NASDAQ Stock Exchange (“NASDAQ”) are generally valued using the NASDAQ Official Closing Price. If no sales or closing prices are reported during the day, equity securities are generally valued at the mean of the last available bid and asked quotations on the exchange or market on which the security is primarily traded, or using other market information obtained from a quotation reporting system, established market makers, or pricing services. If there is only a bid or only an asked price on such date, valuation will be at such bid or asked price for long and short positions, respectively. Over-the-counter (“OTC”) equity securities not listed on NASDAQ are generally valued at the mean of the last available bid and asked quotations on the market on which the security is primarily traded, or using other market information obtained from a quotation reporting system, established market makers or pricing services. If there is only a bid or only an asked price on such date, valuation will be at such bid or asked price for long or short positions, respectively.
Exchange-traded options are generally valued at the mean of the bid and asked quotations on the exchange at closing. Exchange-traded options may also be valued at the NBBO (National Best Bid and Offer from participant exchanges) reported by the Options Price Reporting Authority. OTC options not traded on an exchange are valued at the mean of the bid and asked quotations. If there is only a bid or only an asked price on such date, valuation will be at such bid or asked price for long or short options, respectively.
Precious metals, including gold bullion, are valued at the spot price at the time trading on the NYSE closes (normally 4:00 p.m. E.S.T.).
Debt securities (except for short-term investments as described below) for which market quotations are readily available are valued at the mean between the last bid and asked prices received from dealers in the OTC market in the U.S. or abroad, except that when no asked price is available, debt securities are valued at the last bid price alone. Short-term investments having a maturity of 60 days or less are generally valued at amortized cost, which approximates fair value.
Forward foreign currency contracts are valued at the current cost of offsetting such contracts.
The value of any investment that is listed or traded on more than one exchange or market is based on the exchange or market determined by International Value Advisers, LLC (the “Adviser”) to be the primary trading venue for that investment. A quotation from the exchange or market deemed by the Adviser to be the secondary trading venue for a particular investment may be relied upon in instances where a quotation is not available on the primary exchange or market.
The Board of Trustees of the Trust (the “Board”) has established a Pricing and Fair Valuation Committee (the “Committee”) comprised of officers of the Adviser to which it has delegated the responsibility for overseeing the implementation of the Funds’ valuation procedures and fair value determinations made on behalf of the Board. The Committee may determine that market quotations are not readily available due to events relating to a single issuer (e.g., corporate actions or announcements) or events relating to multiple issuers (e.g., governmental actions or natural disasters). The Committee may determine that there has been a significant decrease in the volume and level of activity for an asset or liability whereby transactions or quoted prices may not be determinative of fair value. The Committee may determine the fair value of investments based on information provided by pricing services and other third parties, including broker-dealers and other market intermediaries, which may recommend fair value prices

or adjustments with reference to other securities, indices or assets. For securities that do not trade during NYSE hours or securities for which there is a foreign market holiday when the NYSE is open, fair valuation determinations are based on analyses of market movements after the close of those securities’ primary markets, and include reviews of developments in foreign markets, the performance of U.S. securities markets, and the performance of instruments trading in U.S. markets that represent foreign securities or baskets of foreign securities. Fair value pricing may require subjective determinations about the value of an asset or liability. Fair values used to determine the Funds’ NAVs may differ from quoted or published prices, or from prices that are used by others, for the same investments. The use of fair value pricing may not always result in adjustments to the prices of securities or other assets or liabilities held by the Funds.
Fair Value Measurement. The Funds adhere to Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification 820-10-65 (“ASC 820-10-65”),Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures and Accounting Standards Update No. 2011-04,Fair Value Measurement and Disclosures – Amendments to Achieve Common Fair Value Measurement Disclosure Requirements in U.S. GAAP and International Financial Reporting Standards (ASU 2011 – 04). ASC 820-10-65 establishes a single definition of fair value, creates a three-tier hierarchy as a framework for measuring fair value based on inputs used to value the Funds’ assets and liabilities, and requires additional disclosure about fair value. ASU 2011-04 provides for the disclosure of any transfers between Level 1 and Level 2 investments. The hierarchy of inputs is summarized below:
• | Level 1 – | quoted prices in active markets for identical investments |
• | Level 2 – | other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar or identical investments, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, other observable market data, etc.) |
• | Level 3 – | significant unobservable inputs (including the Funds’ own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments) |

The Fund’s policy is to recognize transfers between levels as of the end of the reporting period. At March 31, 2013, securities valued at $52,673,670 were transferred from Level 1 to Level 2 within the fair value hierarchy as a result of significant market movements between the time at which foreign markets closed and the International Fund valued its securities. For the six months ended March 31, 2013 and for the year ended September 30, 2012, there were no Level 3 assets or liabilities held in the International Fund.
Foreign Currency Translation. Portfolio securities and other assets and liabilities initially valued in currencies other than the U.S. dollar are converted to U.S. dollars using exchange rates obtained from pricing services.
The Funds do not isolate that portion of the results of operations resulting from changes in foreign exchange rates on investments from the fluctuations arising from changes in market prices of investments held. Such fluctuations are included with the net realized and change in unrealized gain or loss on investments.
Net realized foreign exchange gains or losses arise from sales of foreign currencies, including gains and losses on forward foreign currency contracts, currency gains or losses realized between the trade and settlement dates on securities transactions, and the difference between the amounts of dividends, interest, and foreign withholding taxes recorded on each Fund’s books and the U.S. dollar equivalent of the amounts actually received or paid. Net change in unrealized foreign exchange gains and losses arise from changes in the fair values of assets and liabilities, other than investments, at the date of valuation, resulting from changes in exchange rates.
Portfolio Transactions and Investment Income. Portfolio transactions are recorded on a trade date basis. Interest income, adjusted for amortization of premium and accretion of discount, is recorded on the accrual basis. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date. Realized gains and losses on investment transactions are determined by the specific identification method.
Class Allocation. Investment income, realized and unrealized gains and losses, and Fund expenses and expense reductions, if any, are allocated daily to the various classes of each Fund pro rata on the basis of relative net assets. Each class bears certain expenses unique to that class. Differences in class-level expenses may result in payment of different per share dividends by each share class.
Distributions to Shareholders. Distributions are recorded on the ex-dividend date and are determined in accordance with federal income tax regulations, which may differ from U.S. GAAP. Accordingly, the nature of distributions and composition of net assets for tax purposes differ from those reflected in the accompanying financial statements.
Federal and Other Taxes. It is each Fund’s policy to comply with the federal income and excise tax requirements of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, applicable to regulated investment companies. Accordingly, each Fund intends to distribute substantially all of its taxable income and net realized gains, if any, to shareholders each year. Therefore, no federal income tax provision is required in the Funds’ financial statements.

Notes to Financial Statements (unaudited) | IVA Funds |
The Funds adhere to the provisions of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification 740-10 (“ASC 740-10”), Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes. This standard defines the threshold for recognizing tax positions in the financial statements as “more-likely-than-not” to be sustained by the applicable taxing authority and requires measurement of a tax position meeting the “more-likely-than-not” criterion, based on the largest benefit that is more than fifty percent realized. Management has analyzed each Fund’s tax positions taken on federal and state tax returns for all open tax years (current, 2012, 2011, and 2010) and determined that no provision for income tax would be required in the Funds’ financial statements. For the six months ended March 31, 2013, the Funds did not incur any tax-related interest or penalties.
Under the applicable foreign tax laws, a withholding tax may be imposed on interest, dividends and capital gains at various rates.
Forward Foreign Currency Contracts. Each Fund engages in buying and selling forward foreign currency contracts to seek to manage the exposure of investments denominated in non-U.S. currencies against fluctuations in relative value. A forward foreign currency contract involves a privately negotiated obligation to purchase or sell (with delivery generally required) a specific currency at a future date, at a price set at the time of the contract.
Options Transactions. During the six months ended March 31, 2013, the Worldwide Fund wrote covered puts on equity securities. Each Fund may write call options to seek to enhance investment return or to hedge against declines in the prices of portfolio securities or may write put options to hedge against increases in the prices of securities which it intends to purchase. A call option is covered if a Fund holds, on a share-for-share basis, either the underlying shares or a call on the same security as the call written where the exercise price of the call held is equal to or less than the exercise price of the call written (or greater than the exercise price of the call written if the difference is maintained by a Fund in cash, treasury bills or other high grade short-term obligations in a segregated account with its custodian). A put option is covered if a Fund maintains cash, treasury bills or other high grade short-term obligations with a value equal to the exercise price in a segregated account with its custodian, or holds on a share-for-share basis a put on the same equity security as the put written where the exercise price of the put held is equal to or greater than the exercise price of the put written, or lower than the exercise price of the put written if the difference is maintained in a segregated account with its custodian.
Premiums received for writing options that expire unexercised are recognized on the expiration date as realized gains. If an option is exercised, the premium received is subtracted from the cost of the purchase or added to the proceeds of the sale to determine whether the Fund has realized a gain or loss on the put or call. When a Fund enters into a closing transaction, the Fund will realize a gain or loss depending upon whether the amount from the closing transaction is greater or less than the premium received.
Foreign Investment Risk. Each Fund invests in foreign investments. Foreign investments can involve additional risks relating to political, economic or regulatory conditions in foreign countries. These risks include fluctuations in foreign currencies; withholding or other taxes; trading, settlement, custodial, and other operational risks; and the less stringent investor protection and disclosure standards of some foreign markets. Since foreign exchanges may be open on days when a Fund does not price its shares, the value of the investments in such Fund’s portfolio may change on days when shareholders will not be able to purchase or sell the Fund’s shares.
Custodian Risk. Cash is held at the Funds’ custodian, State Street Bank and Trust Company (the “Custodian”). The Funds are subject to credit risk on any cash balance that exceeds the amount insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation to the extent that the Custodian may be unable to return cash held.
Indemnification. Under the Trust’s organizational documents, its officers and trustees are indemnified against certain liability arising out of the performance of their duties to the Funds. The Funds have a variety of indemnification obligations under contracts with their service providers. The Funds’ maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown. However, the Funds have not had prior claims or losses pursuant to these contracts and expects the risk of loss to be remote.
Note 2 – Investment Advisory Agreement and Distribution Agreement
International Value Advisers, LLC is the investment adviser of the Funds. The Adviser’s primary business is to provide investment management services to a variety of investment vehicles, including the Funds. The Adviser is responsible for all business activities and oversight of the investment decisions made for the Funds.
In return for providing investment advisory services to the Funds, each Fund pays the Adviser an investment advisory fee, calculated daily and paid monthly, at an annual rate of 0.90% of each Fund’s average daily net assets.
41 |
Notes to Financial Statements (unaudited) | IVA Funds |
The Funds have adopted Distribution and Services Plans (“12b-1 Plans”), pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act. Under those 12b-1 Plans, the Funds pay a distribution fee with respect to Class A and C shares calculated at the annual rate of 0.25% and 0.75%, respectively, of the average daily net assets of each respective class. The Funds also pay a service fee with respect to Class C shares calculated at the annual rate of 0.25% of the average daily net assets. Class I shares do not participate in 12b-1 Plans. Fees paid under the 12b-1 Plans for the six months ended March 31, 2013 are disclosed in the Statements of Operations.
IVA Funds Distributors, LLC, a direct subsidiary of Foreside Distributors, LLC, serves as the Funds’ sole and exclusive distributor.
There is a maximum initial sales charge of 5.00% for Class A shares. Class A shares may be subject to a contingent deferred sales charge (“CDSC”) of 0.75% if $1,000,000 or more of Class A shares were initially purchased, a “finder’s fee” was paid to the dealer of record, and the Class A shares were subsequently redeemed within 18 months.
Class C shares may be subject to a CDSC of 1.00% if shares are redeemed within the first 12 months after purchase.
Note 3 – Investments
For the six months ended March 31, 2013, the aggregate cost of purchases and proceeds from sales of investments (excluding short-term investments) were as follows:
Worldwide | International | |||||||

Note 4 – Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities
The Funds enter into transactions involving derivative financial instruments in connection with their investing activities. During the six months ended March 31, 2013, these instruments included written put options and forward foreign currency contracts. These instruments are subject to various risks similar to non-derivative instruments including market, credit and liquidity risks.
The use of derivative instruments may involve risks different from, or potentially greater than, the risks associated with investing directly in investments. Specifically, derivative instruments expose a Fund to the risk that the counterparty to an OTC derivatives contract will be unable or unwilling to make timely settlement payments or otherwise to honor its obligations. OTC derivatives transactions typically can only be closed out with the other party to the transaction. If the counterparty defaults, a Fund will have contractual remedies, but there is no assurance that the counterparty will meet its contractual obligations or that, in the event of default, a Fund will succeed in enforcing them. During the six months ended March 31, 2013, the Funds had exposure to OTC derivatives in the form of forward foreign currency contracts.
42 |
Notes to Financial Statements (unaudited) | IVA Funds |
Forward foreign currency contracts involve elements of market risk in excess of the amounts reflected in the Statements of Assets and Liabilities. The Funds bear the risk of an unfavorable change in the foreign exchange rate underlying the forward foreign currency contract, movements in foreign investment security values and changes in interest rates. Credit risks may also arise upon entering into these contracts from the potential inability of counterparties to meet the terms of their contracts.
Options transactions involve elements of market risk in excess of the amounts reflected in the Statements of Assets and Liabilities. Price fluctuation on underlying equity or debt securities and on market indices may cause the written put or call options to be assigned on unfavorable terms to the Funds. Written put options involve elements of liquidity risk if a Fund is unable to enter into a closing transaction due to there being a lack of market makers for a particular equity or debt security. Counterparty risk associated with pledged collateral to the executing counterparty is limited to the extent that the pledged collateral is held at the Funds’ custodian. Pledged cash collateral is subject to counterparty risk at the Funds’ custodian.
The Funds adhere to FASB Accounting Standards Codification 815-10-50 (“ASC 815-10-50”), Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities. ASC 815-10-50 requires enhanced disclosure about a Fund’s derivative and hedging activities, including how such activities are accounted for and their effect on a Fund’s financial positions, performance and cash flow.

Redemption Fees. The Funds impose a redemption fee of 2% of the total redemption amount on the Funds’ shares redeemed within 30 days of buying them or acquiring them by exchange. The purpose of the redemption fee is to deter excessive, short-term trading and other abusive trading practices, and to help offset the costs associated with the sale of portfolio securities to satisfy redemption and exchange requests made by “market timers” and other short-term shareholders, thereby insulating longer-term shareholders from such costs.

Fund Expenses (unaudited) | IVA Funds |
As a shareholder of the Funds, you may incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including initial sales charges and/or redemption fees; and (2) ongoing costs, including investment advisory fees, distribution and/or service (12b-1) fees and other operating fund expenses. The information on this page is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs of investing in the Funds and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds.
This example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested on October 1, 2012 and held for the six months ended March 31, 2013.
ACTUAL EXPENSES
The table below titled “Based on Actual Total Return” provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information provided in this table, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. To estimate the expenses you paid on your account, divide your ending account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 ending account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number under the heading titled “Expenses Paid During the Period.”

HYPOTHETICAL EXAMPLE FOR COMPARISON PURPOSES
The table below titled “Based on Hypothetical Total Return” provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which are not the Funds’ actual returns. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account values and expenses you paid for the period. You may use the information provided in this table to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Funds and other funds. To do so, compare the 5% hypothetical example relating to the Funds with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of other funds.
Please note that expenses shown in the table below are meant to highlight your ongoing costs and do not reflect any transactional costs, such as initial sales charges (loads) or redemption fees, if any. Therefore, the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only and will not help you determine your relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transactional costs were included, your costs would have been higher.
