| | 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 seek 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 believe gold provides a good hedge in either an inflationary or deflationary period, and it can help mitigate currency debasement over time. |
| | | | |
| | | | 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:
This report covers the six month period ended March 31, 2017. The IVA Worldwide Fund and IVA International Fund (the “Funds”) are now in their ninth year and the Funds’ investment adviser, International Value Advisers, LLC, remains pleased with the Funds’ performance since their inception on October 1, 2008.
The investing environment and the factors influencing our investment decisions have not changed significantly over the last six months. Nor has our investment approach, which emphasizes capital preservation over the short-term while still providing the capacity to outperform equity indices over the long-term. Since inception, we have been, and will continue to be, absolute return oriented investors. We are willing to have a high “active share” and deviate significantly from our benchmarks. We believe that our investment approach represents one of the best ways to invest one’s money, in fact, almost everyone employed by IVA is a shareholder.
Looking back over letters I have written in the past, I wanted to emphasize some points after what has been a relatively quiet six month period: |
| 1. | | Our investment strategy does not give us any room for excuses. The Funds are fortunate to be managed by Charles de Vaulx and Chuck de Lardemelle. |
| | | |
| 2. | | We do not pay attention to benchmark performance over a month, a quarter or a year and we are willing to endure short-term underperformance and let cash build when we cannot find enough attractive investment opportunities. |
| | | |
| 3. | | The responsibility we have to our clients spans many different departments at IVA. The investment team and the marketing and client service group are the most visible to our shareholders. IVA is also supported by excellent people in operations and accounting. It is extremely rewarding for me to observe the continued development, commitment, and strong work ethic of all my colleagues. |
| | | |
| 4. | | We manage our firm and our clients’ assets with a simple philosophy that establishes an order of priority for everything that we do. Our work begins with the client, proceeds to the firm, then to our colleagues, and finally, to the partners. This is and always will be the progression. If our clients are taken care of, the rest falls into place. At IVA, every working component is structured to benefit the client. |
| | | I want to offer my thanks to all my colleagues and to our shareholders for their continued support. |
| | | |
| | |  |
| | | |
| | | 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, 2017
Dear Fellow Shareholders,
During the period under review, October 1, 2016 to March 31, 2017, markets continued their upward journey. While equities owned by both Funds outperformed their indices of reference, the large cash position detracted from performance. The absolute performance over the period was satisfactory, in our opinion.
We believe that the sizeable cash position in both Funds is warranted given elevated valuations in all asset classes in the United States, substantial and unsustainable credit growth in China, political risks in relation to the eurozone, and rising short-term interest rates in the United States. These issues would be surmountable as investors if valuations were commensurate with these risks. We do not believe this is the case today.
We are however stock pickers at heart, and with the help of our analysts, we’ve been able to unearth a number of attractive investments over the period, in particular in Europe during the last quarter of 2016, and in Korea and emerging markets in the first quarter of 2017.
For the International Fund in particular, we were able to put a sizeable chunk of cash to work over the period, with cash moving from 34.1% to 28.1% over the period while the International Fund equity allocation moved from 53.9% to 61.3%. This is not a function of some macro views on economies outside the United States; rather this is the result of finding what we believe are a few undervalued businesses around the world, which led to sizeable investments in Airbus, Bureau Veritas, Kangwon Land and Korea Tobacco & Ginseng for both Funds, as well as a few South American names in Mexico, Chile, and Brazil for the International Fund.
The rally in European equities in the first quarter of 2017 cut our European buying spree short. The names available in emerging markets tend to be small, constraining the size of the positions we establish there. Valuations in emerging markets are at substantial discounts to the United States; likewise, European markets have underperformed the U.S. market massively over the last few years, albeit for a good reason: European markets are heavily weighted towards financials, with the underlying issue of the sustainability of the euro, and therefore suspicious balance sheets; while U.S. indices are loaded with expensive, yet fast growing internet related names, such as Facebook or Amazon. Striking how absent these types of investments are from European or Japanese indices. |
| For the Worldwide Fund, sizeable European investments over the period were offset by sales in the U.S. of substantially all of our mortgage real estate investment trust (REIT) preferred shares as well as selling out of a few U.S. equity names. |
| |
| We continue to carry a sizeable gold bullion position in both Funds. We view gold bullion as a currency that central bankers cannot debase, and as a useful hedge in both portfolios against extreme outcomes. While gold bullion historically has gone up in price during most bear markets in the United States, obviously past performance is no guarantee of future performance... In particular, if the next bear market in the U.S. is triggered by higher real interest rates, rather than by a recession, it is possible that gold may not perform as we anticipate. It is interesting to note however that in both Venezuela, where hyperinflation wiped out investors, as well as in Greece, where deflation led to financial ruin for most, gold protected wealth well. |
Letter from the Portfolio Managers | IVA Funds |
| We remain concerned by the large and growing amounts of worldwide debt outstanding as a percentage of global GDP, by the derelict global monetary system, as well as the furious credit growth in China and the volatile political situation in Europe, which eventually could result in a breakup of the eurozone (We believe Italy might be the weakest link there). Rising short-term interest rates in the U.S., in the context of one of the longest bull markets in history, coupled with an advanced economic cycle in the U.S. and very high valuations by historical standards, warrant a conservative and prudent capital allocation in our opinion, and explain why an allocation to gold bullion is warranted in your Funds, and why the cash (invested in commercial paper of our choosing) remains at high levels. | |
| | |
| We continue to work hard to find suitable investments, to avoid speculations, and to compound your hard-earned savings at a reasonable rate, while doing our utmost to preserve capital. We appreciate your continued confidence and thank you for your support. | |

Management’s Discussion of Fund Performance (unaudited) | IVA Funds |
| The election of Donald Trump as President of the United States stunned the world and was by far the defining event of the period under review. The news, for the most part, was calmly digested by markets. Immediately following the election, bonds were struck with the reality that inflation and higher interest rates may become a byproduct of any fiscal stimulus package initiated by President Trump and a Republican-controlled Congress. Equities fared better, especially in the U.S., as markets embraced an optimistic view of a “pro-business” Trump administration that would cut taxes, engage in deficit spending and roll back regulations. The global equity markets continued their “Trump-Trade” driven rally into the New Year and through most of the first quarter of 2017. There was an interruption in this rally following President Trump’s setback in healthcare reform at the end of March, as investors began to question his ability to accomplish his other goals such as corporate tax cuts, infrastructure spending and deregulation. However, these doubts seem to have been fleeting, as the market rebounded after only a few days of volatility. Helping to buoy markets at the end of the period, the U.S. Federal Reserve signaled in March that although they intend to gradually increase rates, they still want to proceed cautiously. | |
| | |
| Over the period, our equity exposure decreased from 52.1% to 50.8% in the Worldwide Fund and increased from 53.9% to 61.3% in the International Fund. Cash increased from 37.3% to 40.7% in the Worldwide Fund and decreased from 34.1% to 28.2% in the International Fund. We found new equity opportunities over the period. In both Funds, we initiated a new position in BMW AG (Germany, consumer discretionary), Airbus Group SE (Netherlands, industrials) and KT&G Corp. (South Korea, consumer staples). We also added to our position in Bureau Veritas SA (France, industrials), which is now a top 10 name in both Funds. In the International Fund only, we added multiple new names, including TOTVS SA (Brazil, technology), Doshisha Co., Ltd. (Japan, consumer discretionary) and DONGKOOK Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd. (South Korea, health care). In the Worldwide Fund only, we added Ralph Lauren Corp. (U.S., consumer discretionary). | |
| | |
| While we were able to find new names, some of our existing names approached our intrinsic value estimates and in those cases we trimmed and even eliminated positions entirely. Yokogawa Electric Corp. (Japan, technology) was sold by both Funds. In the Worldwide Fund only, names that we eliminated included Raymond James Financial Inc. (U.S., financials) and Hewlett Packard Enterprise Co. (U.S., technology). | |
| | |
| Fixed income exposure decreased in both Funds as we trimmed corporate bond positions and reduced our exposure to short-dated bonds denominated in Singapore dollars over the period. In the Worldwide Fund, fixed income decreased from 3.3% to 2.5% and in the International Fund, it decreased from 4.1% to 3.2%. | |
| | |
| Our gold exposure through gold bullion decreased from 6.4% to 5.8% in the Worldwide Fund and from 7.6% to 7.1% in the International Fund. | |
| | |
| IVA Worldwide Fund | |
| | |
| The IVA Worldwide Fund Class A, at net asset value, returned 5.26% over the six-month period ended March 31, 2017 compared to the MSCI All Country World Index (Net) (the “Index”) return of 8.18% over the same period. | |
| | |
| The IVA Worldwide Fund lagged the Index for the period, mostly due to the dilutive effect of our elevated cash position. Our equities outperformed, up 11.1%, compared to those in the Index* which were up 8.3%. Our U.S. names contributed 3.1%, led by a rally in financials and strong performance by some of our top 10 names, including DeVry Education Group Inc. (consumer discretionary) and Berkshire Hathaway Inc., Class ‘A’ and ‘B’ (holding company). Continental Europe contributed 0.9% and the United Kingdom added 0.7%, led by Antofagasta Plc (materials), which benefited from a rise in copper prices over the period. With markets robust around the globe, the only countries that detracted from return this period were Japan (taking away -0.3%) and Thailand (taking away -0.01%). In Japan, performance was hurt by Astellas Pharma Inc. (health care). | |
Management’s Discussion of Fund Performance (unaudited) | IVA Funds |
| The top five individual contributors to return this period were: DeVry Education Group Inc. (U.S., consumer discretionary), Berkshire Hathaway Inc. Class ‘A’ and ‘B’ (U.S., holding company), Bank of America Corp. (U.S., financials), Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd. (South Korea, technology), Antofagasta Plc (U.K., materials). The top five individual detractors were: Astellas Pharma Inc. (Japan, health care), Hyundai Mobis Co., Ltd (South Korea, consumer discretionary), News Corp. Class ‘A’ and ‘B’ (U.S., consumer discretionary), CVS Health Corp. (U.S., consumer staples), Nestlé S.A. (Switzerland, consumer staples). | |
| | |
| Collectively, fixed income contributed 0.3%. Gold was down -5.3% and detracted -0.4%. | |
| | |
| In an effort to neutralize part of our foreign exchange risk, we were partially hedged against several currencies over the period – the euro, Japanese yen, South Korean won and Australian dollar. Our currency hedges added 0.3%, helped the most by our hedge on the Japanese yen as it depreciated against the U.S. dollar over the period. At the end of the period, our currency hedges were: 39% Australian dollar, 9% euro, 25% Japanese yen, and 30% South Korean won. | |
| | |
| IVA International Fund | |
| | |
| The IVA International Fund Class A, at net asset value, returned 4.25% over the six-month period ended March 31, 2017 compared to the MSCI All Country World Index (ex-U.S.)(Net)(the “Index”) return of 6.51% over the same period. | |
| | |
| The IVA International Fund lagged the Index for the period, mostly due to the dilutive effect of our elevated cash position. Our equities outperformed, up 7.4%, compared to those in the Index* which were up 6.6%. Our names in Continental Europe contributed the most to return, adding 1.5%. The United Kingdom added 1.0%, led by Antofagasta Plc (materials), which benefited from a rise in copper prices over the period. South Korea added 0.9%, led by Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd (technology). News Corp. Class ‘A’ and ‘B’ (U.S., consumer discretionary) detracted -0.2%. We hold News Corp. in our International portfolio due to its meaningful Australian exposure. With markets robust around the globe this period, the only countries that detracted from return were Hong Kong and Thailand, taking away a total of -0.03%. | |
| | |
| The top five individual equity contributors to return this period were: Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd. (South Korea, technology), Antofagasta Plc (U.K., materials), Jardine Strategic Holdings Ltd. (Bermuda, holding company), Clear Media Ltd. (China, consumer discretionary), Hongkong & Shanghai Hotels Ltd. (Hong Kong, consumer discretionary). The top five individual detractors were: Astellas Pharma Inc. (Japan, health care), News Corp. Class ‘A’ and ‘B’ (U.S., consumer discretionary), Hyundai Mobis Co., Ltd (South Korea, consumer discretionary), APT Satellite Holdings Ltd. (Hong Kong, telecommunications services), Toho Co., Ltd. (Japan, consumer discretionary). | |
| | |
| Collectively, fixed income contributed 0.2%. Gold was down -5.3% and detracted -0.5%. | |
| | |
| In an effort to neutralize part of our foreign exchange risk, we were partially hedged against several currencies over the period – the euro, Japanese yen, South Korean won and Australian dollar. Our currency hedges added 0.7%, helped the most by our hedge on the Japanese yen as it depreciated against the U.S. dollar over the period. At the end of the period, our currency hedges were: 39% Australian dollar, 9% euro, 36% Japanese yen, and 30% South Korean won. | |

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.

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 a diversified 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”). In accordance with U.S. GAAP, each Fund has been defined as an investment company and as such complies with investment company and reporting guidance of the Financial Accounting Standards Board. As of result, there are no changes to measurement or disclosure required in the Funds’ financial statements.
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 (“NOCP”). If no sales or NOCPs 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.
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, other than commercial paper, for which market quotations are readily available are generally valued at the evaluated mean primarily based on the last bid and asked prices received from an independent pricing service. When no asked price is available, debt securities are valued at the evaluated bid price alone. Commercial paper is generally valued at the evaluated bid price provided by an independent pricing service. An evaluated price may include a variety of factors including the issue’s coupon rate, maturity, credit rating, yield, trade data, quoted prices of similar debt securities, and any other relevant market or security specific information.
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
Notes to Financial Statements (unaudited) | | IVA Funds |
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 U.S. GAAP fair value accounting standards that establish a single definition of fair value, create a three-tier hierarchy as a framework for measuring fair value based on inputs used to value the Funds’ assets and liabilities, and require additional disclosure about fair value. The hierarchy of inputs is summarized below:
| • | | Level 1 – | last traded/quoted prices in active markets for identical unrestricted investments |
| | | | |
| • | | Level 2 – | other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar or identical investments, amortized cost, 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, 2017, the International Fund had transfers of $21,708,580 from Level 2 to Level 1 as a result of the Fund using last traded prices. At March 31, 2017, the International Fund had transfers of $12,778,683 from Level 1 to Level 2 as result of the use of quoted prices in absence of last traded prices.
Foreign Currency Translation. Portfolio securities and other assets and liabilities initially valued in currencies other than the U.S. dollar are translated 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 gains or losses on foreign currency transactions 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 gains and losses from foreign currency translation 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 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.
Notes to Financial Statements (unaudited) | | IVA Funds |
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.
The Funds follow the Financial Accounting Standards Board accounting standard for 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 (generally the current and the prior three tax years) and determined that no provision for income tax would be required in the Funds’ financial statements. Tax-related interest or penalties, if applicable, are to be disclosed in the Statements of Operations. For the six months ended March 31, 2017, 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. Dividend and interest withholding taxes and capital gains taxes incurred, for the six months ended March 31, 2017, can be found in the Statements of Operations.
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.
Transactions with Affiliates. The Funds are permitted to purchase and sell securities (“cross-trade”) from and to other entities managed by the Adviser pursuant to procedures approved by the Board in compliance with Rule 17a-7 under the 1940 Act. In compliance with these provisions of Rule 17a-7, each cross-trade is executed at the current market price with no remuneration paid in connection with the transaction.
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 expect 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. Investment advisory fees paid for the six months ended March 31, 2017 are disclosed in the Statements of Operations.
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
Notes to Financial Statements (unaudited) | | IVA Funds |
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, 2017 are disclosed in the Statements of Operations.
IVA Funds 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, 2017, the aggregate cost of purchases and proceeds from sales of investments (excluding short-term investments) were as follows:
| | Worldwide | | International |

Sales | | $ | 1,164,038,878 | | | $ | 384,143,292 | |
|
| | | | | | | | |
The cost basis of investments for federal income tax purposes is substantially similar to the cost basis under U.S. GAAP. The following information is as of March 31, 2017. |

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, 2017, these instruments included 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, 2017, the Funds had exposure to OTC derivatives in the form of forward foreign currency contracts.
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.
The following summary of derivative instruments and hedging activity for each Fund is grouped by risk-type and provides information about the fair value and location of derivatives within the Statements of Assets and Liabilities at March 31, 2017.

The following tables present, by counterparty, gross amounts of derivatives eligible for offsetting, gross amounts offset in the Statements of Assets and Liabilities and related collateral received and/or pledged, if any, that the Funds have elected to offset under their legally enforceable ISDA Master Netting Agreement with such counterparty. An ISDA Master Netting Agreement is an agreement between the Fund and the counterparty that governs the terms of certain transactions and reduces the counterparty risk associated with relevant transactions by specifying offsetting mechanisms and collateral arrangements, if any. Offsetting mechanisms allow the Funds to pay or receive the net amount of all forward foreign currency contracts outstanding on a given settlement date. At March 31, 2017, the Funds elected to offset forward foreign currency contracts on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities.

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 redemption fee is credited to the applicable Fund. 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.

Proxy Voting. Information on how the Funds voted proxies relating to portfolio securities during the prior 12-month period ended June 30th of each year and a description of the policies and procedures that the Funds use to determine how to vote proxies relating to portfolio transactions are available (1)without charge, upon request, by calling 866-941-4482, and (2) on the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) website at www.sec.gov by accessing the Funds’ Form N-PX and Statement of Additional Information in the Funds’ registration statement on Form N-1A.
Schedules of Portfolio Holdings. The Funds file their complete schedules of portfolio holdings with the SEC for the first and third quarters of each fiscal year on Form N-Q. The Funds’ Form N-Q is available on the SEC’s website at www.sec.gov. The Funds’ Form N-Q may be reviewed and copied at the SEC’s Public Reference Room in Washington, D.C., and information on the operation of the Public Reference Room may be obtained by calling 800-SEC-0330. To obtain the Funds’ Form N-Q, shareholders can call 866-941-4482.
Trustees and Officers of the Funds. Additional information about Trustees and officers of the Funds is included in the Statement of Additional Information which is available, without charge, upon request, by calling 866-941-4482.
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, 2016 and held for the six months ended March 31, 2017.
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.
