companies with lower price-to-book ratios and lower expected growth values. The Russell 1000 Value Index is constructed to provide a comprehensive and unbiased barometer for the large-cap value segment of the US economy. The Index is completely reconstituted annually to ensure new and growing equities are included and that the represented companies continue to reflect value characteristics. Benchmark returns are calculated with dividends reinvested gross of withholding tax. The index reflects the returns of approximately 1000 holdings. The secondary benchmark is the S&P 500 Index. The S&P 500 Index is a capitalisation-weighted index of 500 US stocks. The benchmark is designed to measure the return of the broad domestic US economy through changes in the aggregate market value of 500 stocks representing all major industries. Sources of foreign exchange rates may be different between composites and the benchmark. Benchmark returns are calculated with dividends reinvested gross of withholding tax. The impact of transaction costs and the deduction of expenses associated with a mutual fund, such as investment management and administration fees, are not reflected in the Index calculations. It is not possible to invest directly in an index. Please refer to the Fund’s Prospectus for further information.

Capacity Status
Client assets in the US Franchise strategy are $3.3bn at September 30, 2022. We have capacity available in the strategy for existing or new clients.
Portfolio Commentary
In the year to September 30, 2022, the Fund declined 15.93% (assuming no redemption fee), falling more than the Russell 1000 Value Index which fell 11.36%, and broadly in line with the S&P 500 Index, which declined 15.47%. It is unusual for the US Franchise strategy to decline more than broader equity markets, but not unprecedented. We are confident that the Fund retains the right balance of quality and value to seek to help compound clients’ capital over the longer term.
The Fund benefitted from exposure to certain stocks that possess durable intangible assets, notably Bristol Myers Squibb in the health care sector, Corteva in the materials sector, World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE) in the communication services sector, CME Group in the financials sector, and Ritchie Bros. Auctioneers in the industrials sector.
The Fund’s weaker return relative to the Russell 1000 Value Index for the period was mainly driven by its lack of exposure to the energy sector. Weaker returns from some of the Fund’s real estate and consumer discretionary stocks – particularly Zillow, Booking Holdings and eBay – also detracted from relative returns.
Energy was the strongest sector in the Russell 1000 Value Index, returning 46%. The Fund had no exposure to the energy sector. Companies in this sector tend to be highly capital intensive and operate in an environment in which it is hard to exercise pricing power. Further, they tend to be highly cyclical. These attributes do not fit our long-term, buy and hold investment approach.
We encourage clients to assess returns over longer intervals, like a full market cycle, in line with our investment horizon. We caution that Franchise returns will likely continue to lag if markets are led by sectors where we do not find Franchise opportunities. As always, we continue to design Franchise portfolios with the dual goals of earning an attractive long-term rate of return while insulating clients from the worst of equity market drawdowns.

Significant Contributors to the Fund’s Return
Among the top contributors to the Fund’s return were Bristol Myers Squibb, Corteva and WWE.
Bristol’s full year and first quarter results were broadly in line with market expectations. The company also received approval for its new immuno-oncology drug, Opdualag, to treat melanoma, as well as approval for Camzyos, an important first-in-class medicine to treat symptomatic obstructive hypertrophic cardiomyopathy. Camzyos is forecast by Bristol to achieve over $4bn in peak sales. These approvals were followed by a number of positive data releases in June.
Bristol faces sizable and well-understood patent headwinds. However, we continue to think it is one of the better-invested pharmaceutical companies and that the continued progression of its pipeline of new drugs leaves it well placed to offset these patent expirations. Bristol’s shares trade on an 8.5% estimated free cash flow yield, adjusting for the upcoming patent expiry of its largest drug, Revlimid.
Corteva released better-than-expected results for the third and fourth quarters of 2021, and for the first quarter of 2022. Strong revenue and earnings growth was supported by a combination of strong pricing, contributions from newly launched products from its Crop Protection Pipeline, and increased penetration of its Enlist seed traits platform.
We continue to believe that Corteva has the opportunity to significantly improve its margins over the long term, primarily through the development and commercialisation of its in-house seed traits pipeline. This should help to materially reduce its trait licensing payments to Bayer and provide the company with the opportunity to create a high margin revenue stream from its own traits. Corteva’s shares trade on a 5.3% estimated free cash flow yield.
WWE reported strong 2021 full year and second quarter 2022 results, and increased 2022 annual guidance by approx. 3% despite the challenging macro-economic environment. This highlights the robustness of the contracted media rights driven business model. The company also announced a number of international agreements. The global market for live sports rights remains robust and appears likely to be bolstered by the entry of streaming companies like Netflix into the advertising market. This is important as WWE is set to renew its critical U.S. Raw and Smackdown rights next year.
Founder, Chairman and CEO Vince McMahon retired in July following a board investigation into executive misconduct. His daughter Stephanie McMahon is now Chairwoman as well as co-CEO alongside Nick Khan. Paul Levesque has also returned to the company as Chief Content Officer. The initial audience response to his creative direction is promising with a 15% increase in Monday Night Raw viewership and a double-digit increase in social media engagement. We engaged with the company during the misconduct investigation and have met with the new management team. We were encouraged by the swift handling of the investigation and are pleased with the management appointments. WWE’s shares trade on an estimated 4.5% free cash flow yield. We think this is an attractive valuation given the potential for improved compounding from the company’s upcoming media rights negotiations.
Notable Detractors from the Fund’s Return
Among the largest detractors from the Fund’s return were Zillow, News Corp and Booking.
Zillow’s share price weakness since we initiated the position in November 2021 has been driven by market concerns that the sharp rise in U.S. mortgage rates will weigh on U.S. housing transactions and prices. While near-term cyclical pressures are acute, we continue to believe Zillow has a substantial opportunity to monetise its dominant position in U.S. property search. The company is investing in new product roll outs and improvements across home viewing, mortgage, and seller services to unlock this opportunity.
Zillow’s shares trade on an 8.5% estimated free cash flow yield. While attractive on a standalone basis, we think this valuation meaningfully understates the long-term free cash flow potential for the business. Rightmove and

REA Group, which have similar leading portal market shares in the U.K. and Australia respectively, boast earnings before interest and taxes (EBIT) margins of around 75% and 60%, more than double Zillow’s. We think this highlights the potential opportunity for Zillow. The company also has a much stronger balance sheet now that it has almost completely unwound its home buying operations. We also expect the board to continue to buy back shares given the share price weakness.
News Corp released quarterly results in May that were in line with consensus estimates. However, it appears the market was disappointed that the results did not significantly exceed expectations, as they had in recent quarters. Underlying revenues increased 6%, with continued strong growth in both Dow Jones and Digital Real Estate. Underlying earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA) grew 25%, as increased digitization continues to improve profitability.
We expect increased digitization to lead to stickier and higher margin revenues across its business units. We think the quality of the company is significantly underappreciated by the market and that there remains substantial potential on a sum-of-the-parts basis as management continues to simplify its corporate and operational structure. News’ shares trade on an estimated free cash flow yield of 10.0%.
Booking’s shares declined in November due to concerns that the Omicron COVID-19 variant would impede the recovery in leisure travel. Further share price weakness followed management guidance that 2022 EBITDA margins will be lower than anticipated due to increased marketing investment. We think it makes sense to increase investment as travel re-opening accelerates and it is an opportunity to meaningfully grow market share from a position of commercial and financial strength. Nonetheless, we shall monitor the company’s market share progress in the context of this additional investment.
Booking’s shares again declined in June, driven by the sharp fall in consumer confidence indicators, and compounded by flight disruption at a number of major European airports. These are cyclical rather than structural factors and we continue to think Booking is a well-invested company with attractive medium-term growth prospects. Third-party data suggests Booking is increasing market share across most of its major markets. We think this market share growth should be further supported by rising travel costs, with price comparison websites such as Booking.com likely to benefit from increased consumer sensitivity to price. The company’s shares trade on a 9.2% estimated free cash flow yield, which we think helps compensate for these cyclical risks.
Significant Portfolio Changes During the Year
During the year, we initiated positions in Richemont, Salesforce, TransUnion and Zillow. We sold the positions in Alcon, Altria, Apple, CME Group and Terminix.
Initial Purchases
We initiated a position in Richemont in September. Richemont is a leading luxury goods company and the global market leader in the branded jewelry category. The company’s two key brands, Cartier and Van Cleef & Arpels, have deep-rooted provenance and are well managed. They account for 96% of operating profit. Revenues have grown at around 9% per annum over the last decade.
Branded jewelry benefits from high barriers to entry and durable pricing power. We believe the category is well placed to continue to benefit from secular growth trends including increasing upper middle-class prosperity in emerging markets, an increase in direct purchases by female customers due to an ever-greater number of women in the workplace, and a growing shift from unbranded to branded jewelry.
The primary risk to the investment thesis is the potential for a deterioration in the brand strength of Cartier or Van Cleef & Arpels. The company also faces the risk of short-term cyclicality in its end markets, especially given its large presence in China.
We took the opportunity to initiate the position following a near 40% drop in the share price since early December 2021. This was primarily driven by ongoing lockdowns in China, one of the company’s key end markets, and increasing concerns over consumer sentiment driven by the war in Ukraine. We purchased the shares at a 6.9% estimated free cash flow yield. We think this valuation helps to compensate for any short-term cyclical risks, particularly given the strength and durability of Richemont’s jewelry brands.

September 30, 2022 (Unaudited)
We completed the initial purchase of Salesforce in March. Salesforce is the leading cloud software vendor in the fast-growing Client Relationship Management (CRM) category. It has a dominant position in public cloud sales automation and customer service software, and leading positions in the more fragmented categories for public cloud marketing and ecommerce software. The company has a track record of solid innovation and customer success, underpinned by an excellent strategic vision and clear focus on the long-term category opportunity.
The key intangible asset is the switching costs customers face if they want to migrate to a competing product. This has led to customer retention in excess of 90%. Customer switching costs increase as more data is stored within Salesforce’s applications, and as customers use more of Salesforce’s suite of CRM products.
The key risk to our thesis is the potential for poor strategy execution over the next few years. This could lead to a material slowdown in growth. Some market participants also have concerns about the company’s capital allocation strategy.
Salesforce has an ambitious FY2024 revenue target, which implies strong double digit revenue growth in the next few years. However, we think this is an achievable medium-term target given the company’s track record, the market share opportunity, and underlying category growth.
Salesforce has spent heavily on mergers and acquisitions in the last decade, especially given its limited historic free cash flow generation. All five of its large deals have been strategically sound and delivered strong financial outcomes. ExactTarget, Demandware and Mulesoft have all increased customer switching costs and provided the foundational pillars for important parts of its CRM horizontal suite, like marketing and ecommerce. Revenue growth and operating margins have also accelerated after each acquisition. We think Salesforce’s acquisition of Slack in 2021 also makes good sense: Slack’s tools increase customer workforce productivity and engagement when bundled with Salesforce’s CRM suite and its revenue growth should accelerate due to Salesforce’s strong customer relationships.
The opportunity to initiate the position followed the sharp share price fall in late 2021 and early 2022. This was caused in part by the indiscriminate underperformance of many of the faster growing application software stocks, and in part by market concerns about the Slack acquisition. We purchased the shares at a 5.3% estimated free cash flow yield, based on what we believe are reasonable margin assumptions.
We began building a position in TransUnion, the U.S. credit bureau, in February and completed the purchase in March. We know the U.S. credit bureaus well and have previously held TransUnion in the Fund. In our view, the company is well-diversified and well-invested, with strong positions in a number of fast-growing U.S. categories and international markets. The company has a good track record of innovation and capital allocation.
TransUnion’s core intangible asset is a combination of contributory and proprietary consumer credit data that allows it to deliver differentiated products to its business customers.
The company’s operating profit is diversified across four key areas: traditional business-to-business U.S. consumer credit products sold to financial services customers; products in faster-growing U.S. categories that leverage proprietary data to prevent fraud, improve insurance underwriting, or optimize enterprise marketing budgets; market-leading credit bureaus in India, the U.K. and Colombia; and credit information sold to U.S. consumers directly under the TransUnion brand or indirectly through partners. Underlying revenue and EBITDA compounding has been in the high-single-digits and low-double-digits respectively.
In December 2021, the company completed the acquisition of Neustar, the identity resolution company, which now accounts for around 15-20% of group EBITDA. Neustar brings close to real-time identity data as well as additional analytical and data science capabilities. Management is targeting low-double-digit revenue growth at Neustar and for margins to double to around 40% by 2026.
TransUnion’s shares had declined 27% since the announcement of the Neustar deal in mid-September 2021. The market appeared to have concerns about execution risks around both the Neustar acquisition and the subsequent Argus acquisition from Verisk. However, TransUnion has a track record of purchasing high-quality assets at reasonable prices and of integrating them well. We took advantage of the fall in the share price to purchase the position at a 5.0% estimated free cash flow yield.

We initiated a position in Zillow in November. Zillow.com is the leading U.S. property website as measured by search activity and revenues, with an estimated 80% share of U.S. property portal searches. The key intangible assets are Zillow’s brand, proprietary data, and agent switching costs.
We believe Zillow has the potential for strong long-term free cash flow compounding. We think low to mid-teens revenue growth should be sustainable over the medium term if the company is able to improve its market share. There is also a significant long-term margin opportunity. Zillow’s 2021 EBIT margin is less than half that of the equivalent leading UK and Australian property portals.
The main risk to Zillow’s revenue growth is a weaker housing market. A prolonged slowdown would weigh on Zillow’s revenues and profitability. As mentioned in the discussion on largest detractors, since we initiated the position, Zillow’s share price has been weak in part due to rising U.S. mortgage rates and its potential impact on housing transactions. While we recognise the likely short-term impact, we think that it will be more than offset by the structural trend of digitization in the U.S. property market over the longer term.
The opportunity to purchase the shares came when Zillow surprised the market and announced it was exiting its home buying operation. The home buying business was an untested and capital-intensive business model that produced uncertain and risky cashflows. We were not fans of that part of the business and were pleased by the move. At the time we initiated the position, the shares had fallen almost 70% from their February 2021 peak and offered a 5.1% estimated free cash flow yield.
Final Sales
We completed the final sale of Alcon in May, having acquired the position in April 2019 following its spin-off from Novartis. Our initial investment thesis focused on the opportunity to improve margins and innovation. We think this has largely been achieved. Organic revenue growth has improved from the low single digits to mid-to-high single digits. Margins have also improved materially and are expected to increase by nearly 900 basis points (bps) within the next few years relative to 2019 margins. We felt Alcon’s strong market share, attractive growth rates and improved profitability were fully reflected in the estimated 3.3% free cash flow yield. Consistent with our valuation discipline, we sold the position.
We completed the final sale of Altria in February. We have become increasingly concerned about Altria’s lack of a strong next generation product (“NGP”) portfolio. Philip Morris International and British American Tobacco are both further along in the development and execution of their NGP strategies than Altria. Following the approximate 20% increase in Altria’s share price from the end of November 2021 to February 2022 and the commensurate reduction in the free cash flow yield, we felt that the valuation no longer compensated us for the risks associated with the company’s traditional cigarette business. We sold the position at an 8.5% estimated free cash flow yield.
We sold the position in Apple in November. The company has improved the durability of its revenue, profit and cashflow, largely thanks to better client retention because of the ecosystem between its integrated hardware, software, and service offerings. The company has also grown services including AppStore, subscriptions and advertising. Finally, the company has managed its capital extremely well, returning most of its substantial free cash flow to shareholders.
We initiated the position in 2012 at an estimated free cash flow yield of nearly 13%, including its cash on the balance sheet. Despite the significant free cash flow growth, the share price increase over the last decade has resulted in the estimated free cash flow yield declining to 2.7%. This valuation no longer provides adequate compensation for risks such as moderating smartphone adoption and the possibility of business disruption from alternative/virtual reality forms of hardware.
We sold the position in CME Group in February, having initiated the position in October 2020. We established the position at an estimated 4.7% free cash flow yield, which we felt was an attractive valuation for a high-quality company. Since then, the combination of an increase in volatility, which is positive for CME’s trading and hedging volumes, and changes in the level and shape of the U.S. yield curve, have helped to deliver strong operational performance and share price appreciation. This is a relatively short holding period for a Franchise investment but,

given the commensurate decline in the estimated free cash flow yield to 2.9%, we felt that the valuation no longer provided adequate compensation for the risks the company faces and exited the position.
We completed the final sale of Terminix, previously named ServiceMaster, in July. Our initial investment thesis focused on the company improving operating performance in its key pest control business. This would lead to increased margins and free cash flow compounding. There were initial positive signs that the turnaround was working. During 2020, the company divested its non-core assets, leaving it as a pure-play pest control company. Management’s focus then turned to improving operating performance. We were encouraged by the steps being taken and the investments being made in areas such as its Customer Experience Platform and digital marketing.
However, in December 2021, Terminix and Rentokil announced they had entered into an agreement for Rentokil to acquire Terminix for cash and stock. From the outset, we did not think the value or the structure of the proposed offer was attractive. We thought it significantly undervalued Terminix as a pure play, strategically important pest control company. Despite our engagements to improve the terms of the deal with the management teams of both Terminix and Rentokil, as well as other shareholders, the acquisition looks set to proceed as originally proposed. We therefore took the opportunity to sell the position at a 4.8% estimated free cash flow yield ahead of the transaction closing later this year.
We remain completely dedicated to investing our clients’ portfolios in keeping with the rigors of the Franchise quality and value criteria. As ever, we measure our success through long-term investment results and enduring client relationships. We thank you for your support and look forward to serving you in the coming years.

ADVISERS INVESTMENT TRUST
INDEPENDENT FRANCHISE PARTNERS US EQUITY FUND
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
September 30, 2022
Advisers Investment Trust (the “Trust”) is a Delaware statutory trust operating under a Fourth Amended and Restated Agreement and Declaration of Trust (the “Trust Agreement”) dated March 10, 2022. The Trust was formerly an Ohio business trust, which commenced operations on December 20, 2011. On March 31, 2017, the Trust was converted to a Delaware statutory trust. As an open-end registered investment company, as defined in Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2013-08, the Trust follows accounting and reporting guidance under FASB Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 946, “Financial Services-Investment Companies”. The Trust Agreement permits the Board of Trustees (the “Trustees” or “Board”) to authorize and issue an unlimited number of shares of beneficial interest, at no par value, in separate series of the Trust. The Independent Franchise Partners US Equity Fund (the “IFP US Equity Fund” or “Fund”) is a series of the Trust. These financial statements and notes only relate to the IFP US Equity Fund.
The Fund is a non-diversified fund, meaning it may invest in a smaller number of companies than a diversified fund, and seeks to achieve an attractive long-term rate of return.
Under the Trust’s organizational documents, its officers and Trustees are indemnified against certain liabilities arising out of the performance of their duties to the Trust and Fund. In addition, in the normal course of business, the Trust enters into contracts with its vendors and others that provide for general indemnifications. The Fund’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown, as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Fund.
A. | Significant accounting policies are as follows: |
INVESTMENT VALUATION
Investments are recorded at fair value. Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The valuation techniques employed by the Fund, as described below, maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs in determining fair value. These inputs are summarized in the following three broad levels:
Level 1 — quoted prices in active markets for identical assets
Level 2 — other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices of similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.)
Level 3 — significant unobservable inputs (including the Fund’s own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments)
The inputs or methodology used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities. For example, certain short-term debt securities may be valued using amortized cost. Generally, amortized cost approximates the current value of a security, but since this valuation is not obtained from a quoted price in an active market, such securities would be reflected as Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy.
Security prices are generally provided by an approved independent third party pricing service as of the close of the New York Stock Exchange, normally at 4:00 p.m. Eastern Time, each business day on which the share price of the Fund is calculated. Equity securities listed or traded on a primary exchange are valued at the closing price, if available, or the last sales price on the primary exchange. If no sale occurred on the valuation date, the securities will be valued at the latest quotations as of the close of the primary exchange. Investments in other open-end registered investment companies are valued at their respective net asset value as reported by such companies. In these types of situations, valuations are typically categorized as Level 1 in the fair value hierarchy.
Debt and other fixed income securities, if any, are generally valued at an evaluated price provided by an approved independent pricing source. To value debt securities, pricing services may use various pricing techniques, which take into account appropriate factors such as market activity, yield, quality, coupon rate, maturity, type of issue, trading characteristics, call features, credit ratings and other data, as well as broker quotes. Short-term debt securities of sufficient credit quality that mature within sixty days may be valued at amortized cost, which approximates fair value. In each of these situations, valuations are typically categorized as Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
September 30, 2022
Prior to September 8, 2022, when the price of a security was not readily available or deemed unreliable (e.g., an approved pricing service does not provide a price, a furnished price is in error, certain stale prices, or an event occurs that materially affects the furnished price), the Fund’s Fair Value Committee would in good faith establish a fair value for that security in accordance with procedures established by and under the general supervision of the Trustees. Since September 8, 2022, the Trustees designated Independent Franchise Partners, LLP, as investment adviser to the Fund, as the Fund’s Valuation Designee with responsibility for establishing fair value when the price of a security is not readily available or deemed unreliable. In addition, fair value pricing may be used if events materially affecting the value of foreign securities occur between the time when the exchange on which they are traded closes and the time when the Fund’s net asset value is calculated. The Fund identifies possible fluctuations in international securities by monitoring the increase or decrease in the value of a designated benchmark index. In the event of an increase or decrease greater than predetermined levels, the Fund may use a systematic valuation model provided by an approved independent third party pricing service to fair value its international equity securities.
In the fair value situations noted above, while the Trust’s valuation policy is intended to result in a calculation of the Fund’s net asset value that fairly reflects security values as of the time of pricing, the Trust cannot ensure that fair values determined pursuant to these guidelines would accurately reflect the price that the Fund could obtain for a security if it were to dispose of that security as of the time of pricing (for instance, in a forced or distressed sale). The prices used by the Fund may differ from the value that would be realized if the securities were sold, and these differences could be material to the financial statements. Depending on the source and relative significance of the valuation inputs in these instances, the instruments may be classified as Level 2 or Level 3 in the fair value hierarchy.
The following is a summary of the valuation inputs used as of September 30, 2022 in valuing the Fund’s investments based upon the three fair value levels defined above:
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
Fund | | Level 1 - Quoted Prices | | | | | Level 2 - Other Significant Observable Inputs | | | | | Level 3 - Significant Unobservable Inputs | | | | | Total | |

As of September 30, 2022, there were no Level 2 or Level 3 securities held by the Fund. There were no transfers to or from Level 3 during the year ended September 30, 2022.
CURRENCY TRANSACTIONS
The Fund may engage in spot currency transactions for the purpose of foreign security settlement and operational processes. Changes in foreign currency exchange rates will affect the value of the Fund’s securities and the price of the Fund’s shares. Generally, when the value of the U.S. dollar rises in value relative to a foreign currency, an investment in that country loses value because that currency is worth fewer U.S. dollars. Devaluation of a currency by a country’s government or banking authority also may have a significant impact on the value of any investments denominated in that currency. Currency markets generally are not as regulated as securities markets.
INVESTMENT TRANSACTIONS AND INCOME
Investment transactions are accounted for no later than one business day after trade date. At financial reporting period ends, investments are reported as of the trade date. The Fund determines the gain or loss realized from investment transactions by using an identified cost basis method. Dividend income is recognized on the ex-dividend date. Dividends from foreign securities are recorded on the ex-dividend date, or as soon as the information is available.

EXPENSE ALLOCATIONS
Expenses directly attributable to a fund in the Trust are charged to that fund, while expenses that are attributable to more than one fund in the Trust are allocated among the applicable funds on a pro-rata basis to each adviser’s series of funds based on relative net assets or another reasonable basis.
DIVIDENDS AND DISTRIBUTIONS
The Fund intends to distribute substantially all of its net investment income as dividends to shareholders on an annual basis. The Fund intends to distribute its net realized long-term capital gains and its net realized short-term capital gains at least once a year.
Distributions from net investment income and from net realized capital gain are determined in accordance with Federal income tax regulations, which may differ from accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”). These “book/tax” differences are either considered temporary or permanent in nature. To the extent these differences are permanent in nature (e.g. treatment of certain dividend distributions, gains/losses, return of capital, redemption in-kind, etc.), such amounts are reclassified within the composition of net assets based on their federal tax-basis treatment; temporary differences do not require reclassification. Distributions to shareholders that exceed net investment income and net realized capital gains for tax purposes are reported as return of capital.
REDEMPTION FEES
The Fund will charge a redemption fee of up to 0.25% of the total redemption amount if you sell your shares, regardless of the length of time you have held your shares and subject to certain exceptions and limitations described in the prospectus. The redemption fee is paid directly to the Fund and is intended to encourage long-term investment in the Fund, to facilitate portfolio management and to avoid (or compensate the Fund for the impact of) transaction and other Fund expenses incurred as a result of shareholder redemptions. Redemption fees charged for the years ended September 30, 2022 and September 30, 2021 were $450,889 and $247,154, respectively, and are reflected within the value of shares redeemed on the Statements of Changes in Net Assets.
FEDERAL INCOME TAX INFORMATION
No provision is made for Federal income taxes as the Fund intends to qualify each year as a “regulated investment company” under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), and distribute substantially all of its net investment income and net realized capital gain in accordance with the Code.
As of September 30, 2022, the Fund did not have material uncertain tax positions that would require financial statement recognition or disclosure based on an evaluation of all open tax years for all major tax jurisdictions. The Fund’s Federal tax returns for the tax years ended September 30, 2019, 2020, 2021 and 2022 remain subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service. Interest or penalties incurred, if any, on future unknown, uncertain tax positions taken by the Fund will be recorded as interest expense on the Statement of Operations.
Management is not aware of any tax positions for which it is reasonably possible that the total amounts of unrecognized tax benefits will change materially in the next 12 months.
USE OF ESTIMATES
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from these estimates.

B. | Fees and Transactions with Affiliates and Other Parties |
The Trust, on behalf of the Fund, has entered into an Investment Advisory Agreement (the “Agreement”) with Independent Franchise Partners, LLP (the “Adviser”) to provide investment management services to the Fund. Total fees incurred pursuant to the Agreement are reflected as “Investment advisory” fees on the Statement of Operations. Under the terms of the Agreement, and for the year ended September 30, 2022, the Fund paid the Adviser a monthly fee based on the Fund’s daily net assets at the following annualized rates:
| | | | | | |
Adviser’s Assets Under Management(1) | | Scale Discount for Assets in each Range(1) | | Annualized Rate(1) | | Effective Overall Annual Fee(1) |

$4 - 5 billion | | 0.40% | | 0.40% | | at $5 billion 0.60% |
Above $5 billion | | — | | — | | 0.60% |
(1) | The Adviser’s total assets under management at the end of each calendar quarter are used to calculate the effective annual fee to be applied during the next calendar quarter. During the year ended September 30, 2022, the effective annualized rate was 0.60% given the Adviser’s total assets under management were in excess of $5 billion during the year. |
Foreside Financial Services, LLC (the “Distributor”) provides distribution services to the Fund pursuant to a distribution agreement with the Trust, on behalf of the Fund. Under its agreement with the Trust, the Distributor acts as an agent of the Trust in connection with the offering of the shares of the Fund on a continuous basis. The Adviser, at its own expense, pays the Distributor an annual $5,000 fee for these services and reimbursement for certain expenses incurred on behalf of the Fund.
The Northern Trust Company (“Northern Trust”) serves as the administrator, transfer agent, custodian and fund accounting agent for the Fund pursuant to written agreements between the Trust, on behalf of the Fund, and Northern Trust. The Fund has agreed to pay Northern Trust certain annual and transaction-based fees, a tiered basis-point fee based on the Fund’s daily net assets, subject to a minimum annual fee of $175,000 relating to these services, and reimburse for certain expenses incurred on behalf of the Fund as well as other charges for additional service activities. Total fees paid to Northern Trust pursuant to these agreements are reflected as “Accounting and Administration” fees on the Statement of Operations.
Foreside Fund Officer Services, LLC (“Foreside”) provides compliance and financial control services for the Fund pursuant to a written agreement with the Trust, on behalf of the Fund, including providing certain officers to the Fund. The Fund pays Foreside an annual base fee, a basis-point fee based on the Fund’s daily net assets and reimburses for certain expenses incurred on behalf of the Fund. Total fees paid to Foreside pursuant to these agreements are reflected as “Regulatory and Compliance” fees on the Statement of Operations.
Carne Global Financial Services (US) LLC (“Carne”) provides risk management and oversight services for the Fund pursuant to a written agreement between the Trust, on behalf of the Fund, and Carne, including providing the Risk Officer to the Fund to administer the Fund’s risk program and oversee the analysis of investment performance and performance of service providers. The Fund has agreed to pay Carne an annual fee of $30,000 for these services, and reimburse for certain expenses incurred on behalf of the Fund. Total fees paid to Carne pursuant to this agreement are reflected as “Risk Officer” fees on the Statement of Operations.
The officers of the Trust are affiliated with Foreside, Northern Trust, Carne or the Distributor and receive no compensation directly from the Fund for serving in their respective roles. The Trust paid each Trustee who is not an “interested person,” as that term is defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”) (each, an “Independent Trustee” and, collectively, the “Independent Trustees”) compensation for their services based on an annual retainer of $125,000 and reimbursement for certain expenses. If there are more than six meetings in a year, additional meeting fees may apply. For the year ended September 30, 2022, the aggregate Trustee compensation paid by the Trust was $472,750. The amount of total Trustee compensation and reimbursement of out-of-pocket expenses allocated from the Trust to the Fund is reflected as “Trustees” expenses on the Statement of Operations.

F. | Concentration of Ownership Risk |
A significant portion of the Fund’s shares may be held in a limited number of shareholder accounts. To the extent that a shareholder or group of shareholders redeem a significant portion of the shares issued by the Fund, this could have a disruptive impact on the efficient implementation of the Fund’s investment strategy.
The Fund is subject to market risk, which is the risk related to investments in securities in general and the daily fluctuations in the securities markets. The Fund’s investment return per share will change daily based on many factors, including fluctuation in interest rates, the quality of the instruments in the Fund’s investment portfolio, national and international economic conditions and general market conditions. The increasing interconnectivity between global economies and financial markets increases the likelihood that events or conditions in one region or financial market may adversely impact issuers in a different country, region or financial market. Securities in the Fund’s portfolio may be impacted by inflation (or expectations for inflation), interest rates, global demand for particular products or resources, natural disasters, pandemics (including COVID-19), epidemics, terrorism, regulatory events and governmental or quasi-governmental actions. These events can have a significant impact on the Fund’s operations and performance.

In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Fund as of September 30, 2022, the results of its operations for the year then ended, the changes in its net assets for each of the two years in the period ended September 30, 2022 and the financial highlights for each of the five years in the period ended September 30, 2022 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
Basis for Opinion
These financial statements are the responsibility of the Fund’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Fund’s financial statements based on our audit. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB) and are required to be independent with respect to the Fund in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our audit of these financial statements in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud.
Our audit included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audit also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of September 30, 2022 by correspondence with the custodian and brokers. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

As a Fund shareholder, you may incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including redemption fees; and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees and other Fund expenses. The examples below are intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds. Please note that the expenses
23
ADVISERS INVESTMENT TRUST
INDEPENDENT FRANCHISE PARTNERS US EQUITY FUND
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
September 30, 2022 (Unaudited)
shown in the tables are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transactional costs. Therefore, the examples are useful in comparing ongoing costs only and will not help you determine the relative total cost of owning different funds. In addition, if these transactional costs were included, your costs would have been higher.
The examples below are based on an investment of $1,000 invested at April 1, 2022 and held for the entire period through September 30, 2022.
The Actual Expense Example below provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use this information, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the table under the heading entitled “Expenses Paid” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.
The Hypothetical Expense Example below provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Fund’s actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Fund’s actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Fund and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds.
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |

Hypothetical | | | 0.68% | | | | $ 1,000.00 | | | $ | 1,021.66 | | | $ | 3.45 | |
* | Expenses are calculated using the annualized expense ratio (as disclosed in the table), multiplied by the average account value for the period, multiplied by the number of days in the most recent half fiscal year (183), and divided by the number of days in the current year (365). |
D. | Board Approval of Investment Advisory Agreement |
Section 15 of the 1940 Act requires that the Agreement be approved by a majority of the Board, including a majority of the Independent Trustees. It is the duty of the Board to request as much information as is reasonably necessary to evaluate the terms of the Agreement to determine whether the Agreement is fair to the Fund and its shareholders. The Board conducted its annual consideration and approval of the Agreement for the Fund at an in-person meeting held on June 9, 2022.
Additionally, the Adviser has proposed to undergo a change of control which, under the 1940 Act, will result in a termination of the Agreement. In order for the Adviser to continue to provide investment management services to the Fund, shareholders are required by the 1940 Act to approve a new investment advisory agreement (the “New Advisory Agreement”). Because the Adviser is an investment adviser organized in the United Kingdom and carries on an investment management business in both the United States and the United Kingdom, the Adviser is regulated by both the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission and the United Kingdom’s Financial Conduct Authority (“FCA”). Consequently, the change in control of the Adviser is subject to prior approval by the FCA. At an in-person meeting of the Board held on September 15, 2022, the Board unanimously approved the New Advisory Agreement for the Fund, subject to shareholder approval. The New Advisory Agreement, if approved by shareholders, will take effect only after the Adviser receives approval from the FCA.
At each of the meetings held on June 9, 2022 and September 15, 2022, the Board requested, and the Adviser provided, both written and oral reports containing information and data related to the following: (i) the nature, extent, and quality of the services provided by the Adviser to the Fund; (ii) the investment performance of the Fund and the Adviser; (iii) the costs of the services to be provided and the profits to be realized by the Adviser from the relationship with the Fund; (iv) the extent to which economies of scale will be realized as the Fund grows; and (v) whether the fee level reflects these economies of scale to the benefit of the Fund’s shareholders.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
September 30, 2022 (Unaudited)
The Board examined the nature, extent, and quality of the advisory services provided by the Adviser. The Board considered the terms of the Agreement and the New Advisory Agreement (collectively, the “Agreements”), information and reports provided by the Adviser on its business, personnel and operations, and advisory services provided to the Fund. The Board reviewed the Adviser’s investment philosophy and portfolio construction processes, the Adviser’s compliance program, pending material litigation (or lack thereof), insurance coverage, business continuity program, and information security practices. The Board noted that, as set forth in the reports provided by the Adviser, there had been no material compliance issues or concerns raised or encountered since the last renewal of the Agreement that impacted the Fund and that there had been no material compliance issues in the past 36 months with respect to the Fund. The Board then considered key risks associated with the Fund and ways in which those risks are mitigated. Taking into account the personnel involved in servicing the Fund as well as the materials provided by the Adviser, the Board expressed satisfaction with the quality, extent, and nature of the services expected from the Adviser.
The Board reviewed the investment performance of the Fund and examined the selected peer groups and benchmark for the Fund. The Board reviewed the Fund’s performance compared to a peer selection based on the eVestment US Large Cap Value universe and the eVestment US Large Cap Equity universe for various periods from one to ten years through March 31, 2022 and June 30, 2022. The Board also reviewed the performance of another fund advised by the Adviser with a similar investment mandate for one-month, three-month, one-year, three-year, five-year, and since inception periods through March 31, 2022 and June 30, 2022. After considering the information presented, the Board expressed satisfaction with the performance of the Fund and the Adviser.
The Board reviewed the cost of services provided and the profits realized by the Adviser, including assertions related to compensation and profitability. The Board discussed the advisory fee paid by the Fund and the total operating expenses of the Fund. The Board noted that the Adviser received a management fee of 0.60% of the Fund’s average daily net assets. The Board reviewed the investment advisory fee paid by the Fund in comparison to the investment advisory fees paid by the funds within the appropriate peer group, noting that the fee was competitive with the fees paid by its peers. The Board then reviewed the advisory fees paid by the other fund and accounts managed by the Adviser with similar investment mandates and noted that the Fund paid the same investment advisory fee as the fund and accounts. The Board then considered the expense cap for the Fund noting that the Adviser had contractually agreed to waive fees and/or reimburse expenses to limit total annual fund operating expenses to 0.85% of the Fund’s average daily net assets. The Board also considered that the management fee rates at which the Adviser will be compensated by the Fund pursuant to the New Advisory Agreement would not increase. After considering the comparative data provided by the Adviser, the Board concluded that the advisory fee under the Agreements and the expense ratio were reasonable.
The Board considered the profitability of the Adviser’s relationship with the Fund and considered the information provided by the Adviser. Among other things, the Board considered the overall financial condition of the Adviser and representations made thereto and to the overall importance of the Fund’s relationship to the Adviser’s business strategy. The Board examined the Fund’s profit margin and the Adviser’s overall profitability. The Board concluded that, based on both the written and oral reports provided by the Adviser, the profit margin was reasonable.
In considering the economies of scale for the Fund, the Board considered the marketing and distribution plans for the Fund, its capacity, and breakeven point. The Board noted that, other than the investment advisory fee, the Adviser derived no other fees or monetary benefits from the Fund. The Board also noted that the Fund does not assess and the Adviser does not receive Rule 12b-1 fees, that soft dollars are not a consideration for broker selection, and that the Adviser paid all third-party research expenses directly.
In its deliberations, the Board did not identify any particular factor or factors that were all-important or controlling; and each Trustee assigned different weights to various factors considered.

NTAM TREASURY ASSETS FUND
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
September 30, 2022
Advisers Investment Trust (the “Trust”) is a Delaware statutory trust operating under a Fourth Amended and Restated Agreement and Declaration of Trust (the “Trust Agreement”) dated March 10, 2022. The Trust was formerly an Ohio business trust, which commenced operations on December 20, 2011. On March 31, 2017, the Trust was converted to a Delaware statutory trust. As an open-end registered investment company, as defined in Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2013-08, the Trust follows accounting and reporting guidance under FASB Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 946, “Financial Services-Investment Companies”. The Trust Agreement permits the Board of Trustees (the “Trustees” or “Board”) to authorize and issue an unlimited number of shares of beneficial interest, at no par value, in separate series of the Trust. The NTAM Treasury Assets Fund (the “Fund”) is a series of the Trust, and commenced operations on April 4, 2018. Shares of the Fund are not registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “1933 Act”). Investments in the Fund may be made only by individuals or entities that are “accredited investors” within the meaning of Regulation D under the 1933 Act.
The Fund is a diversified fund. The investment objective of the Fund is to seek to maximize current income to the extent consistent with the preservation of capital and maintenance of liquidity by investing its net assets, under normal market conditions, exclusively in United States (“U.S.”) Treasury securities and related repurchase agreements and other securities that limit their investments to, or are backed by, U.S. Treasury securities.
The Fund operates as a “government money market fund” under Rule 2a-7 of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”).
Under the Trust’s organizational documents, its officers and Trustees are indemnified against certain liabilities arising out of the performance of their duties to the Trust and Fund. In addition, in the normal course of business, the Trust enters into contracts with its vendors and others that provide for general indemnifications. The Fund’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown, as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Fund.
A. Significant accounting policies are as follows:
INVESTMENT VALUATION
Investments are recorded at amortized cost, which approximates fair value. Under this method, investments purchased at a discount or premium are valued by accruing or amortizing the difference between the original purchase price and maturity value of the issue over the period to effective maturity. Prior to September 8, 2022, if amortized cost did not approximate fair value, such securities would be fair valued in good faith by the Fund’s Fair Value Committee in accordance with procedures established by and under the general supervision of the Trustees. Since September 8, 2022, the Trustees designated Northern Trust Investments, Inc., as investment adviser to the Fund, as the Fund’s Valuation Designee with responsibility for establishing fair value when amortized cost does not approximate fair value.
The following is a summary of the valuation inputs used as of September 30, 2022 in valuing the Fund’s investments based upon the three fair value levels as follows:
• Level 1 —quoted prices in active markets for identical assets
• Level 2 —other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices of similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.)
• Level 3 —significant unobservable inputs (including the Fund’s own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments)

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
September 30, 2022
As of September 30, 2022, there were no Level 1 or Level 3 securities held by the Fund. There were no transfers to or from Level 3 during the year ended September 30, 2022.
REPURCHASE AGREEMENTS
The Fund may enter into repurchase agreements under the terms of a master repurchase agreement by which it purchases securities for cash from a seller and agrees to resell those securities to the same seller at a specific price within a specified time or with an indefinite life and a liquidity feature which allows the Fund to resell the security quarterly. The interest rate on such repurchase agreements resets daily. During the term of a repurchase agreement, the fair value of the underlying collateral, including accrued interest, is required to equal or exceed the fair value of the repurchase agreement. The Fund is subject to credit risk on repurchase agreements to the extent that the counterparty fails to perform under the agreement and the value of the collateral received falls below the agreed repurchase price. If the seller defaults and the value of the collateral declines or if bankruptcy proceedings are commenced with respect to the seller of the security, realization of collateral by the Fund may be delayed or limited. The Fund has entered into such repurchase agreements at September 30, 2022, as reflected in the accompanying Schedule of Investments.

*Collateral received is reflected up to the fair market value of the repurchase agreement.
INVESTMENT TRANSACTIONS AND INCOME
Investment transactions are accounted for no later than one business day after trade date. For financial reporting purposes, investments are reported as of the trade date. The Fund determines the gain or loss realized from investment transactions by using an identified cost basis method. Interest income is recognized on an accrual basis and includes, where applicable, the amortization of premium or accretion of discount.
EXPENSE ALLOCATIONS
Expenses directly attributable to a fund in the Trust are charged to that fund, while expenses that are attributable to more than one fund in the Trust are allocated among the applicable funds on a pro-rata basis to each adviser’s series of funds based on relative net assets or another reasonable basis.
DIVIDENDS AND DISTRIBUTIONS
Dividends from net income are declared daily and paid monthly by the Fund to its shareholders. Net income includes the interest accrued on the Fund’s assets less estimated expenses. The Fund’s net realized short-term capital gains, if any, are distributed at least annually.
Distributions from net investment income and from net realized capital gain are determined in accordance with Federal income tax regulations, which may differ from accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”). These “book/tax” differences are either considered temporary or permanent in nature. To the extent these differences are permanent in nature (e.g. treatment of certain dividend distributions, gains/losses, return of capital etc.), such amounts are reclassified within the composition of net assets based on their federal tax-basis treatment; temporary differences do not require reclassification. Distributions to shareholders that exceed net investment income and net realized capital gains for tax purposes are reported as return of capital.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
September 30, 2022
FEDERAL INCOME TAX INFORMATION
No provision is made for Federal income taxes as the Fund intends to qualify each year as a “regulated investment company” under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), and distribute substantially all of its net investment income and net realized capital gain in accordance with the Code.
As of September 30, 2022, the Fund did not have uncertain tax positions that would require financial statement recognition or disclosure based on an evaluation of all open tax years for all major tax jurisdictions. The Fund’s Federal tax returns for the tax years ended September 30, 2022, 2021, 2020, and 2019 remain subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service. Interest or penalties incurred, if any, on future unknown or uncertain tax positions taken by the Fund will be recorded as interest expense on the Statement of Operations.
Management is not aware of any tax positions for which it is reasonably possible that the total amounts of unrecognized tax benefits will change materially in the next 12 months.
USE OF ESTIMATES
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from these estimates.
B. Fees and Transactions with Affiliates and Other Parties
The Trust, on behalf of the Fund, has entered into an Investment Advisory Agreement (the “Agreement”) with Northern Trust Investments, Inc. (the “Adviser” or “NTI”) to provide investment management services to the Fund. Total fees incurred pursuant to the Agreement are reflected as “Investment advisory” fees on the Statement of Operations. Under the terms of the Agreement, the Fund pays the Adviser a monthly fee based on the Fund’s daily net assets at the annualized rate of 0.11%.
Foreside Financial Services, LLC (the “Placement Agent”) provides private placement services to the Fund pursuant to a placement agent agreement with the Trust, on behalf of the Fund. Under its agreement with the Trust, the Placement Agent acts as an agent of the Trust in connection with the offering of the shares of the Fund on a private placement basis to eligible investors only. The Adviser, at its own expense, pays the Placement Agent an asset-based fee, which is calculated and billed monthly, for these services and reimbursement for certain expenses incurred on behalf of the Fund.
The Northern Trust Company (“Northern Trust”), an affiliate to NTI, serves as the administrator, transfer agent, custodian, and fund accounting agent for the Fund pursuant to written agreements between the Trust, on behalf of the Fund, and Northern Trust. The Fund agreed to pay Northern Trust certain annual and transaction-based fees, a tiered basis-point fee based on the Fund’s daily net assets, and reimburse for certain expenses incurred on behalf of the Fund. Total fees paid to Northern Trust pursuant to these agreements are reflected as “Accounting and Administration” fees on the Statement of Operations.
Foreside Fund Officer Services, LLC (“Foreside”) provides compliance and financial control services for the Fund pursuant to a written agreement with the Trust, on behalf of the Fund, including providing certain officers to the Fund. The Fund pays Foreside an annual base fee, a basis-point fee based on the Fund’s daily net assets and reimburses for certain expenses incurred on behalf of the Fund. Total fees paid to Foreside pursuant to these agreements are reflected as “Regulatory and Compliance” fees on the Statement of Operations.
The officers of the Trust are affiliated with Foreside, Northern Trust, or the Placement Agent and receive no compensation directly from the Fund for serving in their respective roles. The Trust paid each Trustee who is not an “interested person,” as that term is defined in the 1940 Act (each, an “Independent Trustee” and, collectively, the “Independent Trustees”) compensation for their services based on an annual retainer of $125,000 and reimbursement for certain expenses. If there are more than six meetings in a year, additional meeting fees may apply. For the year ended September 30, 2022, the aggregate Trustee compensation paid by the Trust was $472,750. The amount of total Trustee compensation and reimbursement of out-of-pocket expenses allocated from the Trust to the Fund is reflected as “Trustees” expenses on the Statement of Operations.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
September 30, 2022
The Adviser has contractually agreed to waive fees and/or reimburse expenses to the extent necessary to limit total annual fund operating expenses (exclusive of the compensation paid to each Independent Trustee, expenses associated with an Independent Trustee’s attendance at Board meetings and other Trust related travel, expenses of third party consultants engaged by the Board, any membership dues paid to the Investment Company Institute and Mutual Fund Directors Forum, brokerage costs, interest, taxes, dividends, litigation and indemnification expenses, expenses associated with the investments in underlying investment companies and extraordinary expenses) to 0.10% of the average daily net assets of the Fund until January 28, 2023. If it becomes unnecessary for the Adviser to waive fees or make reimbursements, the Adviser may recapture any of its prior waivers or reimbursements for a period not to exceed three years from the date on which the waiver or reimbursement was made to the extent that such a recapture does not cause the Total Annual Fund Operating Expenses (exclusive of the compensation paid to each Independent Trustee, expenses associated with an Independent Trustee’s attendance at Board meetings and other Trust related travel, expenses of third party consultants engaged by the Board, any membership dues paid to the Investment Company Institute and Mutual Fund Directors Forum, brokerage costs, interest, taxes, dividends, litigation and indemnification expenses, expenses associated with the investments in underlying investment companies and extraordinary expenses) to exceed the applicable expense limitation in effect at the time of repayment or the applicable expense limitation that was in effect at the time of the waiver or reimbursement. The agreement to waive fees and/or reimburse expenses automatically renews annually from year to year on the effective date of each subsequent annual update to the Fund’s registration statement, until such time as the Adviser provide written notice of non-renewal.
The Adviser may reimburse additional expenses or waive all or a portion of the management fee of the Fund from time to time, including to avoid a negative yield, and such amounts are not subject to recoupment in future periods. Any such additional expense reimbursement or waiver would be voluntary and could be implemented, increased or decreased or discontinued at any time. During the year ended September 30, 2022, the Adviser reimbursed additional expenses of $975,477 in order to avoid a negative yield. This amount is included in “Expenses Reduced by the Adviser” in the Statement of Operations.
For the year ended September 30, 2022, the Fund incurred advisory fees payable to NTI, contractual expense waivers and/or reimbursements from NTI, and paid expense recoupments to NTI, as follows:

C. Other Risks
General market conditions, such as real or perceived adverse economic or political conditions, inflation, changes in interest rates, lack of liquidity in the bond markets, or adverse investor sentiment may impact the value of an investment in the Fund or its yield. The market value of the securities in which the Fund invests may be impacted in response to the prospects of particular sectors or governments, general economic conditions, and/or other events (such as pandemics, terrorism, etc.) throughout the world due to increasingly interconnected global economies and financial markets. These events can have a significant impact on the Fund’s operations and performance.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the shareholders of the NTAM Treasury Assets Fund and the Board of Trustees of Advisers Investment Trust
Opinion on the Financial Statements and Financial Highlights
We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities of the NTAM Treasury Assets Fund (the “Fund”), one of the portfolios constituting Advisers Investment Trust (the “Trust”), including the schedule of investments, as of September 30, 2022, the related statement of operations for the year then ended, the statements of changes in net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended, the financial highlights for each of the four years in the period then ended and for the period April 4, 2018 (commencement of operations) through September 30, 2018, and the related notes.
In our opinion, the financial statements and financial highlights present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the NTAM Treasury Assets Fund of the Trust as of September 30, 2022, and the results of its operations for the year then ended, the changes in its net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended, and the financial highlights for each of the four years in the period then ended and for the period from April 4, 2018 (commencement of operations) through September 30, 2018, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
Basis for Opinion
These financial statements and financial highlights are the responsibility of the Fund’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Fund’s financial statements and financial highlights based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB) and are required to be independent with respect to the Fund in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements and financial highlights are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Fund is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audits we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Fund’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.
Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements and financial highlights, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements and financial highlights. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as
12
evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements and financial highlights. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of September 30, 2022, by correspondence with the custodian and brokers; when replies were not received from brokers, we performed other auditing procedures. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
November 21, 2022
We have served as the auditor of one or more Northern Trust investment companies since 2002.

A. Expense Examples
As a Fund shareholder, you may incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees and other Fund expenses. The examples below are intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds. Please note that the expenses shown in the tables are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transactional costs. Therefore, the examples are useful in comparing ongoing costs only and will not help you determine the relative total cost of owning different funds. In addition, if these transactional costs were included, your costs would have been higher.
The examples below are based on an investment of $1,000 invested at April 1, 2022 and held for the entire period through September 30, 2022.
The Actual Expense Example below provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use this information, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the table under the heading entitled “Expenses Paid” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.
The Hypothetical Expense Example below provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Fund’s actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Fund’s actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Fund and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds.
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
| | Expense Ratio | | Beginning Account Value 4/1/2022 | | | Ending Account Value 9/30/2022 | | | Expenses Paid 4/1/22–9/30/22* | |
Actual | | 0.10% | | $ | 1,000.00 | | | $ | 1,006.40 | | | $ | 0.50 | |
Hypothetical | | 0.10% | | $ | 1,000.00 | | | $ | 1,024.57 | | | $ | 0.51 | |
* | Expenses are calculated using the annualized expense ratio (as disclosed in the table), multiplied by the average account value for the period, multiplied by the number of days in the most recent half fiscal year (183), and divided by the number of days in the current year (365). |

| | | | | | | | | | |
| | 1-Year Return | | 5-Year Return | | Since Inception Return | | Gross Expense Ratio * | | Net Expense Ratio * |
River Canyon Total Return Bond Fund – Institutional Shares | | -5.60% | | 4.02% | | 4.65% | | 0.89% | | 0.67% |
Bloomberg U.S. Aggregate Bond Index | | -14.60% | | -0.27% | | 0.64% | | - | | - |
*The Institutional Shares Gross and Net Annual Operating Expense Ratio are 89% and 0.67%, respectively, as per the most recent Prospectus. The Adviser has entered into a contractual expense limitation agreement with respect to the Fund to limit expenses to 0.65% until January 28, 2023, which is exclusive of the Acquired Fund Fees and Expenses reflected in the Prospectus.
Data as of September 30, 2022. The Inception date of the Fund is December 30, 2014. The Fund’s performance reflects the reinvestment of dividends as well as the impact of any transaction costs and the deduction of fees and expenses. The performance does not reflect taxes that a shareholder would pay on Fund distributions or on the redemption of Fund shares.
The performance data quoted represents past performance; past performance does not guarantee future results. The investment return and principal value of an investment will fluctuate so that an investor’s shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. The Fund’s current performance may be lower or higher than the performance data quoted. Investors may obtain performance information current to the most recent month-end, within 7 business days, by calling 800-245-0371 or 312-557-0164.
The Fund’s benchmark for performance comparison purposes is the Bloomberg U.S. Aggregate Bond Index. The index is an unmanaged index that measures the investment grade, US dollar-denominated, fixed-rate taxable bond market. The index includes Treasuries, government-related and corporate securities, MBS (agency fixed-rate and hybrid ARM pass-throughs), ABS and CMBS (agency and non-agency). The table reflects the theoretical reinvestment of dividends on securities in the index. The impact of any transaction costs and the deduction of expenses associated with a mutual fund, such as investment management and administration fees, are not reflected in the index calculations. It is not possible to invest directly in an index.

PORTFOLIO COMMENTARY

Market Commentary (for fiscal year ended September 30, 2022)
The fiscal year has been a tale of two halves. Expectations for robust economic growth and inflation as the Covid re-opening gathered momentum characterized the year’s first half. In contrast, realized persistent inflation and tight labor markets pushed the Fed and other central banks to raise rates more aggressively than initially anticipated in the year’s second half, creating substantial market volatility. Challenges to restoring and ramping up supply chains to meet demand, and wage pressures, put significant upward pressure on consumer prices as the CPI ended 2021 at 6.8% year-over-year (YoY). Russia’s invasion of Ukraine in February 2022 exacerbated energy price pressures, and by July 2022, the US reported the highest CPI since the 1980s at 9.1% YoY. The Fed began to pivot early in the fiscal year, forecasting three 25bps rate hikes in 2022 and an end to QE purchases. After the Fed hiked 25bps in March 2022, they were forced to make a significant upward shift in their rate increases and hiked 75bps at four consecutive meetings in May, June, July, and September.
Additionally, the Fed began to let their Treasury and RMBS holdings roll off their balance sheet. After hitting record highs in March 2022, markets have been on a downward path as investors have recalibrated asset valuations after a decade of highly accommodative monetary policy. Fixed income market performance has been significantly challenged by rising rates, widening credit spreads, and recession fears, while the stock market is back to pre-Covid levels.
Toward the end of the fiscal year, we saw some signs of higher interest rates getting traction as US CPI moderated to 8.3%, but still well above the Fed’s 2% target, justifying their ongoing hawkish stance. 30yr mortgage rates have climbed to 6.70% as of September 30, 2022 impacting home affordability and slowing the significant increases in house prices over the past couple of years.
The world continues to adjust to the new inflation-fighting regime of global central banks. Notably, the Fed appears to be resolved not to come to the rescue, and consequently, this dislocation in markets is likely to linger for the foreseeable future.
Fund Insights
The Fund navigated the volatility during the fiscal year outperforming its benchmark. The Fund’s shorter duration profile and exposure to floating rate securities were the primary fiscal year performance drivers. The Fund’s allocation to floating rate coupons, shorter duration, and resilient securities during the fiscal year positioned it well as interest rates increased and credit spreads widened. The Fund entered the fiscal year broadly diversified across the structured credit markets but steadily increased its cash allocation in early 2022, which positioned it well to redeploy capital into corporate and structured credit markets as the year progressed. The Fund has been challenged by outflows, as fixed-income mutual funds have seen record outflows. The Fund remains opportunistic in its security selection and its current liquidity to play offense.
Looking Forward
The Fund’s new portfolio management team of Sam Reid and Todd Lemkin continue to manage the portfolio with a focus on delivering strong relative and absolute returns across various interest rate and economic environments while continuing to manage credit and duration risks. We believe the Fund is well-positioned to earn a defensive real return in the near-term. At the same time, the cash and endogenous liquidity created in the portfolio allow us to be in a position to capitalize on dislocations as they appear, providing good entry points to capture long-term returns. The Fund’s fiscal year performance supports momentum in the Fund’s growth as fixed-income investors reassess traditional bond allocations, which have delivered near-record negative returns this past fiscal year. We believe our research process, security level analysis, size, and experience in the corporate and structured product markets position us favorably in managing the Fund’s prospects.

Disclaimer
Any investment in the Fund involves significant risk, including the risk of loss of all or a portion of your investment. The results indicated herein include both realized and unrealized gains and losses, and actual results when realized may differ materially from those set forth herein. Total returns include reinvestment of dividends and distributions. Current performance may be lower or higher than the performance data presented. Investment returns and principal value will fluctuate with market conditions. The value of an investment in the Fund, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than its original purchase cost. You should consider the investment objectives, risks, charges and expenses of a mutual fund carefully before investing.
Certain information contained herein constitutes “forward-looking statements”, which can be identified by the use of forward-looking terminology such as “may,” “will,” “should,” “expect,” “anticipate,” “target,” “project,” “estimate,” “intend,” “continue” or “believe” or the negatives thereof or other variations thereon or comparable terminology. Due to various risks and uncertainties, actual events or results or the actual performance of an individual investment, an asset class or the Fund may differ materially from those reflected or contemplated in such forward-looking statements. Past performance is not indicative of future results.
Certain Investment Risks
It is important to note that the Fund is not guaranteed by the U.S. Government. Fixed income investments involve interest rate risk, issuer credit risk and risk of default, prepayment risk, duration, risk and price volatility risk. Funds investing in bonds can lose their value as interest rates rise, and investors participating in such Funds can suffer a partial or total loss of their principal.
Mortgage-backed and other asset-backed securities involve risks that are different from or more acute than risks associated with other types of debt instruments. For example, rising interest rates tend to extend the duration of fixed-rate MBS, making them more sensitive to changes in interest rates and causing funds investing in such securities (such as the Fund) to exhibit additional volatility. Conversely, declining interest rates may cause borrowers to pay off their mortgages sooner than expected, thereby reducing returns because the Fund may be required to reinvest the return of borrower principal at the lower prevailing interest rate. MBS related to floating rate loans may exhibit greater price volatility than a fixed rate obligation of similar credit quality. With respect to non-agency MBS, there are no direct or indirect government or agency guarantees of payments in pools created by non-governmental issuers. Non-agency MBS also are not subject to the same underwriting requirements for the underlying mortgages that are applicable to those mortgage-related securities that have a government or government-sponsored entity guarantee.
For a more complete list of Fund risks, please see the Prospectus.
MBS: Mortgage-Backed Securities
CMBS: Commercial Mortgage-Backed Securities
RMBS: Residential Mortgage-Backed Securities
ABS: Asset Backed Securities
CLO: Collateralized Loan Obligation
Bps: Basis Points (bps) are a unit of measure used in finance to describe the percentage change in the value of a financial instrument. One basis point is equivalent to 0.01% (1/100th of a percent).
QE: Quantitative easing (QE) is a form of monetary policy in which a central bank, like the U.S. Federal Reserve, purchases securities from the open market to reduce interest rates and increase the money supply.
*River Canyon Fund Management LLC (the “Adviser”) has contractually agreed to waive fees and reimburse expenses to the extent that Total Annual Fund Operating Expenses (excluding brokerage costs, interest, taxes, dividend expense on short positions, litigation and indemnification expenses, expenses associated with investments in underlying investment companies, and extraordinary expenses) exceed 0.65% until January 28, 2023.

As an open-end registered investment company, as defined in Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2013-08, the Trust follows accounting and reporting guidance under FASB Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 946, “Financial Services-Investment Companies”. The Trust Agreement permits the Board of Trustees (the “Trustees” or “Board”) to authorize and issue an unlimited number of shares of beneficial interest, at no par value, in separate series of the Trust. The River Canyon Total Return Bond Fund (the “Fund”) is a series of the Trust, and the Fund’s Institutional Shares class commenced operations on December 30, 2014. Prior to April 6, 2015 shares of the Fund were not registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “1933 Act”). During that time, investments in the Fund were made only by individuals or entities that were “accredited investors” within the meaning of Regulation D under the 1933 Act, and shares were issued solely in private placement transactions that did not involve any “public offering” within the meaning of Section 4(a)(2) of the 1933 Act. Effective April 6, 2015, the Fund became publicly available for investment.
The investment objective of the Fund is to seek to maximize total return. The Fund has been managed as a diversified fund pursuant to Section 5(b) of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, (the “1940 Act”) since July 2018. Effective April 26, 2021, the Fund determined to continue to be managed as a diversified fund.
Under the Trust’s organizational documents, its officers and Trustees are indemnified against certain liabilities arising out of the performance of their duties to the Trust and Fund. In addition, in the normal course of business, the Trust enters into contracts with its vendors and others that provide for general indemnifications. The Fund’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown, as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Fund.
A. Significant accounting policies are as follows:
INVESTMENT VALUATION
Investments are recorded at fair value. Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The valuation techniques employed by the Fund, as described below, maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs in determining fair value. These inputs are summarized in the following three broad levels:
• Level 1 —quoted prices in active markets for identical assets
• Level 2 —other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices of similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.)
• Level 3 —significant unobservable inputs (including the Fund’s own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments)
The inputs or methodology used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities. For example, certain short-term debt securities may be valued using amortized cost. Generally, amortized cost approximates the current value of a security, but since this valuation is not obtained from a quoted price in an active market, such securities would be reflected as Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy.
Security prices are generally provided by an approved independent third party pricing service as of the close of the New York Stock Exchange, normally at 4:00 p.m. Eastern Time, each business day on which the share price of the Fund is calculated.
Debt and other fixed income securities, if any, are generally valued at an evaluated price provided by an approved independent pricing source. To value debt securities, pricing services may use various pricing techniques, which take into account appropriate factors such as market activity, yield, quality, coupon rate, maturity, type of issue, trading characteristics, call features, credit ratings and other data, as well as broker quotes. Short-term debt securities of sufficient credit quality that mature within sixty days may be valued at amortized cost, which approximates fair value. In each of these situations, valuations are typically categorized as Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
September 30, 2022
Equity securities listed or traded on a primary exchange are valued at the closing price, if available, or the last sales price on the primary exchange. If no sale occurred on the valuation date, the securities will be valued at the latest quotations as of the close of the primary exchange. Investments in other open-end registered investment companies are valued at their respective net asset value as reported by such companies. In these types of situations, valuations are typically categorized as a Level 1 in the fair value hierarchy.
Prior to September 8, 2022, when the price of a security was not readily available or deemed unreliable (e.g., an approved pricing service does not provide a price, a furnished price is in error, certain stale prices, or an event occurs that materially affects the furnished price), the Fund’s Fair Value Committee would in good faith establish a fair value for that security in accordance with procedures established by and under the general supervision of the Trustees. Since September 8, 2022, the Trustees designated River Canyon Fund Management LLC, as investment adviser to the Fund, as the Fund’s Valuation Designee with responsibility for establishing fair value when the price of a security is not readily available or deemed unreliable.
In the fair value situations noted above, while the Trust’s valuation policy is intended to result in a calculation of the Fund’s net asset value that fairly reflects security values as of the time of pricing, the Trust cannot ensure that fair values determined pursuant to these guidelines would accurately reflect the price that the Fund could obtain for a security if it were to dispose of that security as of the time of pricing (for instance, in a forced or distressed sale). The prices used by the Fund may differ from the value that would be realized if the securities were sold, and these differences could be material to the financial statements. Depending on the source and relative significance of the valuation inputs in these instances, the instruments may be classified as Level 2 or Level 3 in the fair value hierarchy.
The following is a summary of the valuation inputs used as of September 30, 2022 in valuing the Fund’s investments based upon the three fair value levels defined above:
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
| | Level 1 - Quoted Prices | | | Level 2 - Other Significant Observable Inputs | | | Level 3 - Significant Unobservable Inputs | | | Total | |

The Level 3 securities noted above were held at the prior year end or transferred into Level 3 during the current year ended September 30, 2022. The value of these securities compared to the total Fund net assets is not material and, therefore, the reconciliation of Level 3 securities and related valuation techniques are not disclosed.
FORWARD COMMITMENTS
The Fund may contract to purchase securities for a fixed price at a transaction date beyond the customary settlement period (i.e., “when issued,” “delayed delivery,” “forward commitment,” or “TBA transaction”) consistent with the Fund’s ability to manage its investment portfolio. No interest will be earned by the Fund on such purchases until the securities are delivered, however the market value may change prior to delivery. When the Fund makes a commitment to purchase a security on a forward commitment basis, cash or liquid securities equal to the amount of such Fund’s commitments will be reserved for payment of the commitment.

ADVISERS INVESTMENT TRUST
RIVER CANYON TOTAL RETURN BOND FUND
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
September 30, 2022
The Fund may enter into TBA sale commitments to help manage portfolio duration, hedge its positions or to sell mortgage-backed securities it owns under delayed delivery arrangements. Proceeds of TBA sale commitments are not received until the contractual settlement date. During the time a TBA sale commitment is outstanding, equivalent deliverable securities, or an offsetting TBA purchase commitment deliverable on or before the sale commitment date, are held as “cover” for the transaction.
Unsettled TBA sale (purchase) commitments are valued at the current market value of the underlying securities. The contract is adjusted to market value daily and the change in market value is recorded by the Fund as an unrealized gain or loss. If the TBA sale (purchase) commitment is closed through the acquisition of an offsetting purchase (sale) commitment, the Fund realizes a gain or loss from the sale of the securities based upon the unit price established at the date the commitment was entered.
REVERSE REPURCHASE AGREEMENTS
The Fund may enter into reverse repurchase agreements. In a reverse repurchase agreement, the Fund delivers securities in exchange for cash to a counterparty, with a simultaneous agreement to repurchase the same or substantially same securities at an agreed upon price and date. The Fund is entitled to receive principal and interest payments, if any, made on the securities delivered to the counterparty during the term of the agreement. Cash received in exchange for the securities delivered will accrue interest to be paid by the Fund to the counterparty and is recorded as a component of interest expense on the Statement of Operations. The Fund will earmark and reserve Fund assets, in cash or liquid securities, in an amount at least equal to its purchase obligations under the agreements. As of September 30, 2022, there were no reverse repurchase agreements held by the Fund.
INVESTMENT TRANSACTIONS AND INCOME
Investment transactions are accounted for no later than one business day after trade date. For financial reporting purposes, investments are reported as of the trade date. The Fund determines the gain or loss realized from investment transactions by using an identified cost basis method. Interest income is recognized on an accrual basis and includes, where applicable, the amortization of premium or accretion of discount. Dividend income is recognized on the ex-dividend date.
EXPENSE ALLOCATIONS
Expenses directly attributable to a fund in the Trust are charged to that fund, while expenses that are attributable to more than one fund in the Trust are allocated among the applicable funds on a pro-rata basis to each adviser’s series of funds based on relative net assets or another reasonable basis.
DIVIDENDS AND DISTRIBUTIONS
The Fund intends to distribute substantially all of its net investment income as dividends to shareholders on a monthly basis. The Fund intends to distribute its net realized long-term capital gains and its net realized short-term capital gains at least once a year.
Distributions from net investment income and from net realized capital gain are determined in accordance with Federal income tax regulations, which may differ from accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”). These “book/tax” differences are either considered temporary or permanent in nature. To the extent these differences are permanent in nature (e.g. treatment of certain dividend distributions, gains/losses, return of capital, redemption in-kind, etc.), such amounts are reclassified within the composition of net assets based on their federal tax-basis treatment; temporary differences do not require reclassification. Distributions to shareholders that exceed net investment income and net realized capital gains for tax purposes are reported as return of capital.
FEDERAL INCOME TAX INFORMATION
No provision is made for Federal income taxes as the Fund intends to qualify each year as a “regulated investment company” under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), and distribute substantially all of its net investment income and net realized capital gain in accordance with the Code.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
September 30, 2022
As of September 30, 2022, the Fund did not have uncertain tax positions that would require financial statement recognition or disclosure based on an evaluation of all open tax years for all major tax jurisdictions. The Fund’s tax return for the tax years ended September 30, 2022, 2021, 2020 and 2019 remain subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service. Interest or penalties incurred, if any, on future unknown, uncertain tax positions taken by the Fund will be recorded as interest expense on the Statement of Operations.
Management is not aware of any tax positions for which it is reasonably possible that the total amounts of unrecognized tax benefits will change materially in the next 12 months.
USE OF ESTIMATES
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from these estimates.
B. Fees and Transactions with Affiliates and Other Parties
River Canyon Fund Management LLC (the “Adviser” or “River Canyon”) serves as the investment adviser to the Fund. Under the terms of the Trust’s Second Amended and Restated Investment Advisory Agreement (the “Agreement”) with the Adviser, the Fund pays the Adviser a fee computed and accrued daily and paid monthly at the annual rate of 0.65% of average daily net assets. Total fees incurred pursuant to the Agreement are reflected as “Investment advisory” fees on the Statement of Operations.
Foreside Financial Services, LLC (the “Distributor”) provides distribution services to the Fund pursuant to a distribution agreement with the Trust, on behalf of the Fund. Under its agreement with the Trust, the Distributor acts as an agent of the Trust in connection with the offering of the shares of the Fund on a continuous basis. The Adviser, at its own expense, pays the Distributor an annual $25,000 fee for these services and reimbursement for certain expenses incurred on behalf of the Fund.
The Northern Trust Company (“Northern Trust”) serves as the administrator, transfer agent, custodian and fund accounting agent for the Fund pursuant to written agreements between the Trust, on behalf of the Fund, and Northern Trust. The Fund has agreed to pay Northern Trust a tiered basis-point fee based on the Fund’s daily net assets, subject to a minimum annual fee of $150,000 relating to these services, as well as other charges for additional service activities. Total fees paid to Northern Trust pursuant to these agreements are reflected as “Accounting and Administration” fees on the Statement of Operations.
Foreside Fund Officer Services, LLC (“Foreside”) provides compliance and financial control services for the Fund pursuant to a written agreement with the Trust, on behalf of the Fund, including providing certain officers to the Fund. The Fund pays Foreside an annual asset-based fee, a basis-point fee based on the Fund’s daily net assets, subject to an overall annual minimum fee of $125,000 for these services, and reimburses for certain expenses incurred on behalf of the Fund. Total fees paid to Foreside pursuant to these agreements are reflected as “Regulatory and Compliance” fees on the Statement of Operations.
The officers of the Trust are affiliated with Foreside, Northern Trust, or the Distributor and receive no compensation directly from the Fund for serving in their respective roles. The Trust paid each Trustee who is not an “interested person,” as that term is defined in the 1940 Act (each, an “Independent Trustee” and, collectively, the “Independent Trustees”) compensation for their services based on an annual retainer of $125,000 and reimbursement for certain expenses. If there are more than six meetings in a year, additional meeting fees may apply. For the year ended September 30, 2022, the aggregate Trustee compensation paid by the Trust was $472,750. The amount of total Trustee compensation and reimbursement of out-of-pocket expenses allocated from the Trust to the Fund is reflected as “Trustees” expenses on the Statement of Operations.
The Adviser has contractually agreed to waive fees or reimburse expenses to the extent necessary to limit total annual fund operating expenses (exclusive of brokerage costs, interest, taxes, dividend expense on short positions, litigation and indemnification expenses, expenses associated with investments in underlying investment companies and extraordinary expenses) to 0.65% of the average daily net assets of the Fund until January 28, 2023. If it becomes unnecessary for the Adviser to waive fees or make reimbursements, the Adviser may recapture any of its prior waivers or reimbursements for a period not to exceed three years from the date in which the waiver or
18

reimbursement was made to the extent that such a recapture does not cause the Total Annual Fund Operating Expenses (exclusive of brokerage costs, interest, taxes, dividend expense on short positions, litigation and indemnification expenses, expenses associated with investments in underlying investment companies and extraordinary expenses) to exceed the applicable expense limitation in effect at the time of repayment or the applicable expense limitation that was in effect at the time of the waiver or reimbursement. The agreement to waive fees and reimburse expenses may be terminated by the Board at any time and will terminate automatically upon termination of the Agreement.
For the year ended September 30, 2022, the Fund incurred advisory fees payable to River Canyon, expense waivers/reimbursements from River Canyon, and paid expense recoupments to River Canyon as follows:

E. Concentration of Ownership
A significant portion of the Fund’s shares may be held in a limited number of shareholder accounts. To the extent that a shareholder or group of shareholders redeem a significant portion of the shares issued by the Fund, this could have a disruptive impact on the efficient implementation of the Fund’s investment strategy.
F. Other Risks
The Fund is subject to market risk, which is the risk related to investments in securities in general and the daily fluctuations in the securities markets. The Fund’s investment return per share will change daily based on many factors, including fluctuation in interest rates, the quality of the instruments in the Fund’s investment portfolio, national and international economic conditions and general market conditions. The increasing interconnectivity between global economies and financial markets increases the likelihood that events or conditions in one region or financial market may adversely impact issuers in a different country, region or financial market. Securities in the Fund’s portfolio may be impacted by inflation (or expectations for inflation), interest rates, global demand for particular products or resources, natural disasters, pandemics (including COVID-19), epidemics, terrorism, regulatory events and governmental or quasi-governmental actions. These events can have a significant impact on the Fund’s operations and performance.
Instruments in which the Fund invest may pay interest at floating rates based on the London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) or may be subject to interest caps or floors based on LIBOR. In 2017, the head of the United Kingdom’s Financial Conduct Authority announced a desire to phase out the use of LIBOR by the end of 2021. The phase out of the three-, six- and twelve-month U.S. dollar LIBOR settings has been delayed until mid-2023, but all other LIBOR settings, including the one-week and two-month U.S. dollar LIBOR settings were phased out on December 31, 2021. The Fund may have investments linked to other interbank offered rates, such as the Euro Overnight Index Average (“EONIA”), which may also cease to be published. Various financial industry groups have begun planning for the transition away from LIBOR, but there are challenges to converting certain securities and transactions to a new reference rate (e.g., the Secured Overnight Financing Rate (“SOFR”), which is intended to replace the U.S. dollar LIBOR). Neither the effect of the LIBOR transition process nor its ultimate success can yet be known. Abandonment of LIBOR and the transition of a new reference rate could have adverse impacts on newly issued financial instruments and existing financial instruments which reference LIBOR and lead to significant short-term and long-term uncertainty, market instability and illiquidity in markets for instruments whose terms currently include LIBOR. While some existing LIBOR-based instruments may contemplate a scenario where LIBOR is no longer available by providing for an alternative rate-setting methodology, there may be significant uncertainty regarding the effectiveness of any such alternative methodologies to replicate LIBOR. Not all existing LIBOR-based instruments may have alternative rate-setting provisions and there remains uncertainty regarding the willingness and ability of issuers to add alternative rate-setting provisions in certain existing instruments. In addition, a liquid market for newly-issued instruments that use a reference rate other than LIBOR still may be developing. All of the aforementioned may adversely affect the Fund’s performance or net asset value.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the shareholders of the River Canyon Total Return Bond Fund and the Board of Trustees of Advisers Investment Trust
Opinion on the Financial Statements and Financial Highlights
We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities of the River Canyon Total Return Bond Fund (the “Fund”), one of the portfolios constituting Advisers Investment Trust (the “Trust”), including the schedule of investments, as of September 30, 2022, the related statement of operations for the year then ended, the statements of changes in net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended, the financial highlights for each of the five years in the period then ended, and the related notes. In our opinion, the financial statements and financial highlights present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the River Canyon Total Return Bond Fund of the Trust as of September 30, 2022, and the results of its operations, the changes in its net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended, and the financial highlights for each of the five years in the period then ended in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
Basis for Opinion
These financial statements and financial highlights are the responsibility of the Fund’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Fund’s financial statements and financial highlights based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB) and are required to be independent with respect to the Fund in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements and financial highlights are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Fund is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audits we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Fund’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.
Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements and financial highlights, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements and financial highlights. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements and financial highlights. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of September 30, 2022, by correspondence with the
21
custodian and brokers; when replies were not received from brokers, we performed other auditing procedures. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

As a Fund shareholder, you may incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees and other Fund expenses. The examples below are intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds. Please note that the expenses shown in the tables are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transactional costs. Therefore, the examples are useful in comparing ongoing costs only and will not help you determine the relative total cost of owning different funds. In addition, if these transactional costs were included, your costs would have been higher.
The examples below are based on an investment of $1,000 invested at April 1, 2022 and held for the entire period through September 30, 2022.
The Actual Expense Example below provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use this information, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the table under the heading entitled “Expenses Paid” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.
The Hypothetical Expense Example below provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Fund’s actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Fund’s actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Fund and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds.

Enclosed is the Annual Report for the 12-month period ended September 30, 2022, for the State Farm Growth Fund, the State Farm Balanced Fund, the State Farm Interim Fund, and the State Farm Municipal Bond Fund (the “State Farm Funds” or the “Funds”), each a series of Advisers Investment Trust (“the Trust”).

The State Farm Funds are advised by State Farm Investment Management Corp. with Northern Trust Investments, Inc. providing day-to-day portfolio management as the sub-adviser. The Northern Trust Company serves as the Funds’ administrator, fund accountant, custodian, and transfer agent.

STATE FARM GROWTH FUND
MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION OF FUND PERFORMANCE
September 30, 2022 (Unaudited)
Overview
Describe the Fund’s investment objective and philosophy.
The State Farm Growth Fund is managed with a long-term investment orientation. State Farm Investment Management Corp., investment adviser to the Fund, has selected Northern Trust Investments, Inc. (the “Sub-Adviser”) as sub-adviser to the Fund. In general, the Sub-Adviser employs a long-term ownership strategy, which emphasizes buying securities as long-term investments. While the Fund seeks to maintain sector weights consistent within 3% to 5% of each sector’s weight in the S&P 500 Index (the “Index”), the Fund’s benchmark index, in making investment decisions on specific securities, the Sub-Adviser uses statistical modeling and research to look for companies with strong profitability and cash flows within their sector and strong management efficiency.
Describe the relevant market environment as it related to the Fund for the reporting period.
After starting the fourth quarter of 2021 strong, equity and fixed income markets faltered in late November due to the Omicron COVID-19 variant. However, investor sentiment proved to be resilient, as the value of assets improved from their intra-quarter lows. The quarter was particularly strong for the S&P 500, which returned 11.02%. The West Texas Intermediate (WTI), an oil benchmark, ended the quarter at roughly $75 a barrel, returning less than 1% during the quarter. The U.S. labor market continued to improve, with an increase in the labor force participation rate. Inflation dominated the financial press as it recorded some of the highest levels in decades. Ultimately, the abnormally high inflation readings forced the Federal Reserve (Fed) to announce asset purchase tapering, followed by an increase in the speed of tapering, and to retire the word “transitory” from their communications regarding inflation. The language and actions of the Fed encouraged market participants to forecast rate hikes sooner rather than later. The final quarter of 2021 proved to be another positive one for the U.S. economy, despite frequent headwinds.
It was a challenging start to 2022 for equity and fixed income markets. COVID-19 moved away from the forefront of investors’ minds, as inflation and the path of monetary policy took precedence. The Treasury curve flattened, as front-end interest rates rose more than long-end rates and sent yields to multi-year highs. Additionally, the war in Ukraine pushed oil prices significantly higher, further adding to inflationary pressures. WTI crude oil ended the first quarter at $100 a barrel, after reaching a peak of roughly $124 a barrel during the quarter. The labor market saw continuous improvement with an improving labor force participation rate. Sustained high inflation coupled with the economic backdrop encouraged the Federal Open Markets Committee (FOMC) to raise interest rates by 25 basis points (0.25%) at their March meeting. The FOMC continuously reiterated their commitment to maintain price stability and implied that rate hikes may be faster and more frequent than previously expected to achieve this.
After a difficult start to 2022, equities and fixed income markets fared no better in the second quarter. Inflation and interest rate hikes were top of mind for investors. The Fed moved at speeds previously unanticipated, raising interest rates 50 basis points and 75 basis points in May and June, respectively. The June move was the first of its size since 1994, in an attempt to crush inflation. Additionally, the Fed announced that it would allow securities to roll off its balance sheet. As market participants grappled with the path of inflation, monetary policy, and future economic growth, the Treasury curve moved higher with several parts of the curve inverting. The labor market remained tight, underscoring the difficulty employers have finding workers. The geopolitical backdrop was virtually unchanged with a long-term solution to Ukraine-Russia appearing unlikely.
Equity markets continued their slide in volatile fashion in the third quarter of 2022 as investors grappled with persistent inflation, the rising risk of recession and a very hawkish Fed. The Fed raised the federal funds target range by 75 basis points twice, ending the quarter at a range of 3.00-3.25%. By quarter end, the 2022 year end dot plot projected a federal funds rate of 4.4% up from 3.4% in June further signaling the resolve to reduce inflation. The Treasury curve moved higher and further inverted as short rates reacted to monetary policy and the long end anchored to future economic growth. Labor market conditions remained tight with an increase in the labor force participation rate, which gave way to a slight increase in the unemployment rate from 3.6% to 3.7%. WTI oil fell 25% during the third quarter of 2022 as recession fears and Chinese lockdowns contributed to downward pressure on oil prices.
How did the Fund perform during the reporting period?
For the 12-month period ended September 30, 2022, the State Farm Growth Fund experienced a total return of -8.99% after expenses, compared to a -15.47% total return for the S&P 500 Index. The S&P 500 Index posted a strong finish to 2021, ending the year near all-time highs, and the Growth Fund outperformed the Index by a small margin in the fourth quarter. While the Growth Fund posted a negative return in the first three quarters of 2022, it considerably outperformed the Index over the same period. The Growth Fund’s tilt to high quality and low volatility served the portfolio well as uncertainty roiled the financial markets, and the portfolio’s exposure to quality dividend yield also contributed to out performance by providing a relatively stable source of returns.

STATE FARM BALANCED FUND
MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION OF FUND PERFORMANCE
September 30, 2022 (Unaudited)
Overview
Describe the Fund’s investment objective and philosophy.
The State Farm Balanced Fund is invested in a combination of stocks and bonds in pursuit of long-term growth of principal while providing some current income. State Farm Investment Management Corp., investment adviser to the Fund, has selected Northern Trust Investments, Inc. (the “Sub-Adviser”) as sub-adviser to the Fund. The Balanced Fund seeks to achieve its objective by investing under normal market conditions approximately 65% of its total assets in common stocks, and ordinarily limits its common stock investments to no more than 75% of its total assets. The Sub-Adviser chooses stocks for the Fund’s portfolio for their long-term potential to generate capital gains, but may also consider a stock’s long-term potential to generate income. Under normal market conditions, the Fund invests approximately 35% and at least 25% of its total assets in a representative sample of fixed income securities in the Bloomberg Intermediate U.S. Government/Credit Bond Index (the “Index”). The Fund will buy and sell fixed income securities with the goal of achieving overall duration and total return similar to that of the Index.

The fixed income portion of the Fund outperformed the Fund’s fixed income benchmark due to the Fund’s security selection.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION OF FUND PERFORMANCE

Overview
Describe the Fund’s investment objective and philosophy.
The State Farm Interim Fund is managed in a manner that seeks to provide investment results approximating the performance of the Bloomberg 1-5 Year U.S. Treasury Index. State Farm Investment Management Corp., investment adviser to the Fund, has selected Northern Trust Investments, Inc. (the “Sub-Adviser”) as sub-adviser to the Fund. Under normal circumstances, the Fund invests substantially all its net assets in a representative sample of the U.S. Treasury obligations included in the Bloomberg 1-5 Year U.S. Treasury Index (the “Index”). The Sub-Adviser tries to replicate the investment composition and performance of the Index using computer programs and statistical procedures. The Fund will buy and sell securities with the goal of achieving an overall duration and total return for the Fund similar to that of the Index.
Describe the relevant market environment as it related to the Fund for the reporting period.
After starting the fourth quarter of 2021 strong, equity and fixed income markets faltered in late November due to the Omicron COVID-19 variant. However, investor sentiment proved to be resilient, as the value of assets improved from their intra-quarter lows. The quarter was particularly strong for the S&P 500, which returned 11.02%. The West Texas Intermediate (WTI), an oil benchmark, ended the quarter at roughly $75 a barrel, returning less than 1% during the quarter. The U.S. labor market continued to improve, with an increase in the labor force participation rate. Inflation dominated the financial press as it recorded some of the highest levels in decades. Ultimately, the abnormally high inflation readings forced the Federal Reserve (Fed) to announce asset purchase tapering, followed by an increase in the speed of tapering, and to retire the word “transitory” from their communications regarding inflation. The language and actions of the Fed encouraged market participants to forecast rate hikes sooner rather than later. The final quarter of 2021 proved to be another positive one for the U.S. economy, despite frequent headwinds.
It was a challenging start to 2022 for equity and fixed income markets. COVID-19 moved away from the forefront of investors’ minds, as inflation and the path of monetary policy took precedence. The Treasury curve flattened, as front-end interest rates rose more than long-end rates and sent yields to multi-year highs. Additionally, the war in Ukraine pushed oil prices significantly higher, further adding to inflationary pressures. WTI crude oil ended the first quarter at $100 a barrel, after reaching a peak of roughly $124 a barrel during the quarter. The labor market saw continuous improvement with an improving labor force participation rate. Sustained high inflation coupled with the economic backdrop encouraged the Federal Open Markets Committee (FOMC) to raise interest rates by 25 basis points (0.25%) at their March meeting. The FOMC continuously reiterated their commitment to maintain price stability and implied that rate hikes may be faster and more frequent than previously expected to achieve this.
After a difficult start to 2022, equities and fixed income markets fared no better in the second quarter. Inflation and interest rate hikes were top of mind for investors. The Fed moved at speeds previously unanticipated, raising interest rates 50 basis points and 75 basis points in May and June, respectively. The June move was the first of its size since 1994, in an attempt to crush inflation. Additionally, the Fed announced that it would allow securities to roll off its balance sheet. As market participants grappled with the path of inflation, monetary policy, and future economic growth, the Treasury curve moved higher with several parts of the curve inverting. The labor market remained tight, underscoring the difficulty employers have finding workers. The geopolitical backdrop was virtually unchanged with a long-term solution to Ukraine-Russia appearing unlikely.
Equity and fixed income markets continued their slide in volatile fashion in the third quarter of 2022 as investors grappled with persistent inflation, the rising risk of recession and a very hawkish Fed. The Fed raised the federal funds target range by 75 basis points twice, ending the quarter at a range of 3.00-3.25%. By quarter end, the 2022 year end dot plot projected a federal funds rate of 4.4% up from 3.4% in June further signaling the resolve to reduce inflation. The Treasury curve moved higher and further inverted as short rates reacted to monetary policy and the long end anchored to future economic growth. Labor market conditions remained tight with an increase in the labor force participation rate, which gave way to a slight increase in the unemployment rate from 3.6% to 3.7%. WTI oil fell 25% during the third quarter as recession fears and Chinese lockdowns contributed to downward pressure on oil prices.
How did the Fund perform during the reporting period?
For the 12-month period ended September 30, 2022, the State Farm Interim Fund experienced a total return of -7.17% after expenses, compared to a -7.04% return for the Bloomberg 1-5 Year U.S. Treasury. The Fund closely tracked its benchmark for the period.

STATE FARM MUNICIPAL BOND FUND
MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION OF FUND PERFORMANCE
September 30, 2022 (Unaudited)
Overview
Describe the Fund’s investment objective and philosophy.
The State Farm Municipal Bond Fund seeks as high a rate of income exempt from federal income taxes as is consistent with prudent investment management. Under normal circumstances, the Fund invests so that either (1) at least 80% of the Fund’s net investment is exempt from regular federal income tax or (2) at least 80% of the Fund’s net assets are invested in securities that produce income exempt from federal income tax. State Farm Investment Management Corp., investment adviser to the Fund, has selected Northern Trust Investments, Inc. (the “Sub-Adviser”) as sub-adviser to the Fund. The Sub-Adviser will invest the Fund’s assets primarily in a diversified selection of municipal bonds with maturities of one to 17 years, although from time to time the Sub-Adviser may purchase issues with longer maturities. A majority of the Fund’s investments are in issues with maturities longer than five years.
Describe the relevant market environment as it related to the Fund for the reporting period.
The municipal bond market was under pressure throughout much of the fiscal year, in one of the worst years for municipals on record as interest rates rose dramatically and the market environment turned negative. Treasury yields rose throughout 2022 and the Fed turned hawkish in their policy stance as inflation rose to levels not seen in 40 years, raising rates slowly before ramping up the pace of fed fund rate hikes into the second and third quarters of 2022, while moving forward on the reduction of its balance sheet. Starting from a level of low yields and volatility at the end of 2021, municipal yields rose in tandem with treasury yields and volatility in the municipal bond market increased meaningfully to begin 2022. Municipal bond mutual fund outflows accelerated throughout the year, with total outflows of $91.5B at the end of the reporting period, representing a record since the data series began in 1992. The new issuance of municipal bonds started the year at a steady pace, but slowed into the second half, as rates rose and municipal bond re-financings were priced out of the market and became less attractive.
There were periods of stronger demand and two months of positive performance in the fiscal year ending September 30, 2022, and while the increase in yields affected longer duration portfolios to a greater extent, the steep increase in short maturity yields negatively impacted even the shortest duration portfolios. The overall yield curve flattened, but remained steep compared to the negatively-sloped treasury curve. Overall municipal bond credit spreads widened, with lower-rated credits and sectors underperforming their higher-rated counterparts, but spreads generally remained tight versus historical comparisons, following the tightening of credit spreads in the second half of 2021 and 2022.
How did the Fund perform during the reporting period?
For the 12-month period ended September 30, 2022, the State Farm Municipal Bond Fund experienced a total return of -9.51% after expenses, compared to a -9.11% return for the Bloomberg 7-Year Municipal Bond Index. In addition to expenses, the difference in coupon structure, with the Fund holding a much lower average coupon than the index, contributed directly to the under performance of the Fund versus the index for the period. The Fund’s overall yield curve positioning, which consisted of longer and shorter maturities than the Bloomberg 7-Year Municipal Bond Index, contributed positively to performance of the Fund as the yield curve flattened, as did the higher credit quality positioning of the Fund versus the index as credit spreads widened.

FINANCIAL HIGHLIGHTS
The financial highlights table is intended to help you understand the financial performance of each Fund for the past five years. Because each Fund is a continuation of its respective Predecessor Fund, each of which was a series of State Farm Associates’ Funds Trust, the following financial information includes results of each Fund’s respective Predecessor Fund for periods prior to August 23, 2021, the date each Predecessor Fund reorganized into each Fund. Certain information reflects financial results for a single Fund share. The total returns within each table represent the rate that an investor would have earned (or lost) on an investment in the Fund (assuming reinvestment of all dividends and distributions).

STATE FARM FUNDS
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
September 30, 2022
Advisers Investment Trust (the “Trust” or “AIT”) is a Delaware statutory trust operating under a Fourth Amended and Restated Agreement and Declaration of Trust (the “Trust Agreement”) dated March 10, 2022. The Trust was formerly an Ohio business trust, which commenced operations on December 20, 2011. On March 31, 2017, the Trust was converted to a Delaware statutory trust. As an open-end registered investment company, as defined in Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2013-08, the Trust follows accounting and reporting guidance under FASB Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 946, “Financial Services-Investment Companies.” The Trust Agreement permits the Board of Trustees (the “Trustees” or “Board”) to authorize and issue an unlimited number of shares of beneficial interest, at no par value, in separate series of the Trust. The State Farm Growth Fund, the State Farm Balanced Fund, the State Farm Interim Fund, and the State Farm Municipal Bond Fund (referred to individually as a “Fund” and collectively as the “Funds” or the “State Farm Funds”) are each a diversified fund and are each a series of the Trust. These financial statements and notes only relate to the State Farm Funds.
Under the Trust’s organizational documents, its officers and Trustees are indemnified against certain liabilities arising out of the performance of their duties to the Trust and Funds. In addition, in the normal course of business, the Trust enters into contracts with its vendors and others that provide for general indemnifications. The Funds’ maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown, as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Funds.
Prior to August 23, 2021, each State Farm Fund operated as a series of State Farm Associates’ Funds Trust (each a “Predecessor Fund” and together the “Predecessor Funds”). On August 23, 2021, the Predecessor Funds were reorganized into the Trust, pursuant to an Agreement and Plan of Reorganization approved by the State Farm Associates’ Funds’ Board of Trustees on March 11, 2021 and by the Predecessor Funds’ shareholders on June 17, 2021 (each a “Reorganization” and collectively, the “Reorganizations”).
At the time of the Reorganizations, each Predecessor Fund transferred all of its assets to its corresponding State Farm Fund in exchange for shares of the corresponding State Farm Fund and the assumption of all of the liabilities of the Predecessor Fund by the corresponding State Farm Fund. Upon closing of the Reorganizations, holders of a Predecessor Fund’s shares received shares of the corresponding State Farm Fund’s shares. The Reorganizations were tax-free for U.S federal income tax purposes.
Prior to the Reorganizations, the State Farm Funds had no net assets or operations in the Trust, and therefore, activity shown in the Statements of Changes in Net Assets and Financial Highlights prior to the Reorganization represents the operations and changes in net assets of each Predecessor Fund. The cost basis of the investments transferred from each Predecessor Fund was carried forward to the corresponding Fund for accounting and tax purposes.
As part of each Reorganization, the Board approved a September 30 fiscal year end for each State Farm Fund. Prior to each Reorganizations, each Predecessor Fund had a November 30 fiscal year end.
1. Investment Objective
The State Farm Growth Fund (the “Growth Fund”) seeks long-term growth of capital, which may be supplemented by income. For information on the specific strategies of the Growth Fund, please refer to the Fund’s Prospectus.
The State Farm Balanced Fund (the “Balanced Fund”) seeks long-term growth of capital while providing some current income. For information on the specific strategies of the Balanced Fund, please refer to the Fund’s Prospectus.
The State Farm Interim Fund (the “Interim Fund”) seeks to provide investment results approximating the performance of the Bloomberg 1-5 Year U.S. Treasury Index. For information on the specific strategies of the Interim Fund, please refer to the Fund’s Prospectus.
The State Farm Municipal Bond Fund (the “Municipal Bond Fund”) seeks as high rate of income exempt from federal income taxes as is consistent with prudent investment management. For information on the specific strategies of the Municipal Bond Fund, please refer to the Fund’s Prospectus.
2. Significant Accounting Policies
Investment Valuation
All investments in securities are recorded at their fair value. For more information see Note 3 Investment Valuation.
When-Issued Securities
The Municipal Bond Fund may purchase municipal bonds on a “when-issued” basis. Delivery and payment for these securities may be a month or more after the purchase date, during which time such securities are subject to market fluctuations. The Municipal Bond Fund identifies and holds specific liquid assets with a market value at least equal to the amount of the when-issued purchase commitments in order to ensure that it can meet those commitments. It is possible that the securities will never be issued and the commitment cancelled. At September 30, 2022, the Municipal Bond
ADVISERS INVESTMENT TRUST
STATE FARM FUNDS
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)
September 30, 2022
Fund had commitments of $2,938,420 (representing 0.51% of net assets) for when-issued securities. These commitments are included within the Payable for Securities Purchased line on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities.
Futures Contracts
Certain Funds invest in stock index futures contracts for hedging purposes, to increase total return (i.e., for speculative purposes) or to maintain liquidity to meet potential shareholder redemptions, to invest cash balances or dividends or to minimize trading costs. When used as a hedge, a Fund may sell a futures contract in order to offset a decrease in the fair value of its portfolio securities that might otherwise result from a market decline.A Fund may do so either to hedge the value of its portfolio securities as a whole, or to protect against declines occurring prior to sales of securities in the value of the securities to be sold. Conversely, a Fund may purchase a futures contract as a hedge in anticipation of purchases of securities. In addition, a Fund may utilize futures contracts in anticipation of changes in the composition of its portfolio holdings. A Fund bears the market risk arising from changes in the value of these financial instruments. At the time a Fund enters into a futures contract, it is generally required to make a margin deposit with the custodian of a specified amount of liquid assets. Futures are marked-to-market each day with the change in value reflected in the unrealized gains or losses. Risk may arise as a result of the potential inability of the counterparties to meet the terms of their contracts. Credit risk is mitigated to the extent that the exchange on which a particular futures contract is traded assumes the risk of a counterparty defaulting on its obligations under the contract. The Statements of Operations include any realized gains or losses on closed futures contracts in Net realized gain (loss) on futures contracts, and any unrealized gains or losses on open futures contracts in Change in net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on futures contracts.
Further information on the impact of these positions on the Funds’ financial statements can be found in Note 7.
Currency Transactions
The functional and reporting currency for the Funds is the U.S. dollar. The market values of foreign securities, currency holdings and other assets and liabilities are translated into U.S. dollars based on the current exchange rates each business day. Purchases and sales of securities and income and expense items denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollars at the exchange rate in effect on the transaction date. The Funds do not separately report the effects of changes in foreign exchange rates from changes in market prices on securities held. Such changes are included in Net realized and unrealized gains (losses) from investment activities on the Statements of Operations.
Investment Transactions and Income
Investment transactions are accounted for no later than one business day after trade date. For financial reporting purposes, investments are reported as of the trade date. The Funds determine the gain or loss realized from investment transactions by using an identified cost basis method. Interest income is recognized on an accrual basis and includes, where applicable, the amortization of premium or accretion of discount. Dividend income is recognized on the ex-dividend date. Dividends from foreign securities are recorded on the ex-dividend date, or as soon as the information is available.
Expense Allocations
Expenses directly attributable to a fund in the Trust are charged to that fund, while expenses that are attributable to more than one fund in the Trust are allocated among the applicable funds on a pro-rata basis, based on relative net assets, or another reasonable basis.
Dividends and Distributions
Each Fund intends to distribute substantially all of its net investment income as dividends to its shareholders on an annual basis. The Growth Fund and Balanced Fund declare and pay dividends, and capital gain distributions, if any, at least annually. The Interim Fund and Municipal Bond Fund declare dividends daily and pay them monthly on the last business day of the month. Shares of the Interim Fund and Municipal Bond Fund begin to earn dividends on the day after they are purchased. The Interim Fund and Municipal Bond Fund distribute net realized capital gain, if any, at least annually.
The Funds intend to distribute their net realized long-term capital gains and their net realized short-term capital gains at least once a year.
Distributions from net investment income and from net realized capital gain are determined in accordance with Federal income tax regulations, which may differ from accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”).These “book/tax” differences are either considered temporary or permanent in nature. To the extent these differences are permanent in nature (e.g. treatment of certain dividend distributions, gains/losses, return of capital, etc.), such amounts are reclassified within the composition of net assets based on their federal tax-basis treatment; temporary differences do not require reclassification. Distributions to shareholders that exceed net investment income and net realized capital gains for tax purposes are reported as return of capital.
Federal Income Tax Information
No provision is made for Federal income taxes as the Fund intends to qualify each year as a “regulated investment company” under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), and distribute substantially all of its net investment income and net realized capital gain in accordance with the Code.
ADVISERS INVESTMENT TRUST
STATE FARM FUNDS
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)
September 30, 2022
The Funds analyzed all open tax years, as defined by the Statute of Limitations, for all major jurisdictions that remain subject to examination. The Funds’ Federal tax returns for the tax years ended November 30, 2019 through November 30, 2020 and September 30, 2021 and 2022, as applicable, remain subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service. Interest or penalties incurred, if any, on future unknown or uncertain tax positions taken by the Funds will be recorded as interest expense on the Statements of Operations.
Management is not aware of any tax positions for which it is reasonably possible that the total amounts of unrecognized tax benefits will significantly change in the next twelve months.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from these estimates.
3. Investment Valuation
Investments are recorded at fair value. Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The valuation techniques employed by the Funds, as described below, maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs in determining fair value. These inputs are summarized in the following three broad levels:
| ● | | Level 1 - quoted prices in active markets for identical assets |
| ● | | Level 2 - other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices of similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.) |
| ● | | Level 3 - significant unobservable inputs (including the Fund’s own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments) |
The inputs or methodology used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities. For example, certain short-term debt securities may be valued using amortized cost. Generally, amortized cost approximates the current value of a security, but since this valuation is not obtained from a quoted price in an active market, such securities would be reflected as Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy.
Security prices are generally provided by an approved independent third party pricing service as of the close of the New York Stock Exchange, normally at 4:00 p.m. Eastern Time, each business day on which the share price of the Fund is calculated. Equity securities listed or traded on a primary exchange are valued at the closing price, if available, or the last sales price on the primary exchange. If no sale occurred on the valuation date, the securities will be valued at the latest quotations as of the close of the primary exchange. Investments in other open-end registered investment companies are valued at their respective net asset value as reported by such companies. In these types of situations, valuations are typically categorized as Level 1 in the fair value hierarchy.
Debt and other fixed income securities, if any, are generally valued at an evaluated price provided by an approved independent pricing source. To value debt securities, pricing services may use various pricing techniques, which take into account appropriate factors such as market activity, yield, quality, coupon rate, maturity, type of issue, trading characteristics, call features, credit ratings and other data, as well as broker quotes. Short-term debt securities of sufficient credit quality that mature within sixty days may be valued at amortized cost, which approximates fair value. In each of these situations, valuations are typically categorized as Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy.
Prior to September 8, 2022, when the price of a security was not readily available or deemed unreliable (e.g., an approved pricing service does not provide a price, a furnished price is in error, certain stale prices, or an event occurs that materially affects the furnished price), the Fund’s Fair Value Committee would in good faith establish a fair value for that security in accordance with procedures established by and under the general supervision of the Trustees. Since September 8, 2022, the Trustees designated State Farm Investment Management Corp., as investment adviser to the Funds, as the Funds’ Valuation Designee with responsibility for establishing fair value when the price of a security is not readily available or deemed unreliable. In addition, fair value pricing may be used if events materially affecting the value of foreign securities occur between the time when the exchange on which they are traded closes and the time when the Fund’s net asset value is calculated.
In the fair value situations noted above, while the Trust’s valuation policy is intended to result in a calculation of the Fund’s net asset value that fairly reflects security values as of the time of pricing, the Trust cannot ensure that fair values determined pursuant to these guidelines would accurately reflect the price that the Fund could obtain for a security if it were to dispose of that security as of the time of pricing (for instance, in a forced or distressed sale). The prices used by the Fund may differ from the value that would be realized if the securities were sold, and these differences could be material to the financial statements. Depending on the source and relative significance of the valuation inputs in these instances, the instruments may be classified as Level 2 or Level 3 in the fair value hierarchy.

5. Fees and Transactions with Affiliates and Other Parties
Investment Adviser
The Trust, on behalf of the Funds, has entered into an Investment Advisory Agreement (the “Advisory Agreement”) with State Farm Investment Management Corp. (the “Adviser” or “State Farm”) to provide investment advisory services to the Funds, including oversight of Northern Trust Investments, Inc. (the “Sub-Adviser” or “NTI”). Total fees incurred pursuant to the Advisory Agreement are reflected as “Investment advisory” fees on the Statements of Operations. Under the terms of the Advisory Agreement, the Funds pay the Adviser a monthly fee based on each Fund’s daily net assets at the following annualized rates:
| | | | |
Fund | | Management Fee (as percentage of average daily net assets) | |
State Farm Growth Fund | | | 0.10% | |
State Farm Balanced Fund | | | 0.11% | |
State Farm Interim Fund | | | 0.12% | |
State Farm Municipal Bond Fund | | | 0.11% | |
The Advisory Agreement continues for an initial term of two years, and on a year-to-year basis thereafter, provided that continuance is approved at least annually by specific approval of the Board or by vote of the holders of a majority of the outstanding voting securities of each Fund. In either event, it must also be approved by a majority of the Trustees who are neither parties to the Advisory Agreement nor interested persons, as defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”), at a meeting called for the purpose of voting on such approval. The Advisory Agreement may be terminated as to a particular Fund at any time on 60 days’ written notice, without the payment of any penalty, by the Trust (by vote of the Board or by vote of a majority of the outstanding voting securities of such Fund) or by the Adviser. In the event of its assignment, the Advisory Agreement will terminate automatically.
Expense Limitation Agreement
The Adviser has contractually agreed to waive fees and reimburse expenses to the extent that total annual operating expenses (excluding brokerage costs, interest, taxes, dividends and other expenses in connection with the short sale of securities, litigation and indemnification expenses, expenses associated with investments in underlying investment companies, and extraordinary expenses) exceed the rates specified in the table below:
| | | | |
Fund | | Expense Limitation | |
State Farm Growth Fund | | | 0.12% | |
State Farm Balanced Fund | | | 0.14% | |
State Farm Interim Fund | | | 0.16% | |
State Farm Municipal Bond Fund | | | 0.16% | |
The expense limitation agreement is effective until January 28, 2025 for the Funds at which time it will be subject to automatic renewal upon the effective date of the Funds’ registration statement. If it becomes unnecessary for the Adviser to waive fees or make reimbursements, the Adviser may recapture any of its prior waivers or reimbursements for a period not to exceed three years from the date on which the waiver or reimbursement was made to the extent that such a recapture does not cause the total annual fund operating expenses (excluding brokerage costs, interest, taxes, dividends and other expenses in connection with the short sale of securities, litigation and indemnification expenses, expenses associated with investments in underlying investment companies, and extraordinary expenses) to exceed the lesser of the current expense limitation or the applicable expense limitation that was in effect at the time of the waiver or reimbursement. The agreement to waive fees and reimburse expenses may be terminated by the Board at any time and will terminate automatically upon termination of the Advisory Agreement.

8. Principal Investment Risks
Investing in a Fund may involve certain risks including, but not limited to, those described below. Please refer to the Funds’ prospectus and statement of additional information for more information on risks associated with investing in the Funds.
Management Risk
The assessment by the Sub-Adviser of the securities to be purchased or sold by the Funds may prove incorrect, resulting in losses or poor performance, even in a rising market. This may be as a result of the factors used by the Sub-Adviser in building a multifactor quantitative model. Whenever a model is used, there is also a risk that the model will not work as planned. In addition, there may be periods when quality investing is out of favor and during which time the Funds’ performance may suffer.
Market Risk
The risk that the value of the Funds’ investments may increase or decrease in response to expected, real or perceived economic, political or financial events in the U.S. or global markets. The frequency and magnitude of such changes in value cannot be predicted. The increasing interconnectivity between global economies and financial markets increases the likelihood that events or conditions in one region or financial market may adversely impact issuers in a different country, region or financial market. Securities in the Funds’ portfolio may underperform due to inflation (or expectations for inflation), interest rates, global demand for particular products or resources, natural disasters, pandemics (including COVID-19), epidemics, terrorism, regulatory events and governmental or quasi-governmental actions.
Tracking Risk
The Sub-Adviser invests in fixed income securities to try to duplicate the investment composition and performance of the Bloomberg Index. There is a risk that the Funds’ performance may vary substantially from the performance of the Bloomberg Index as a result of share purchases and redemptions, transaction costs, expenses and other factors.
Liquidity Risk
The Sub-Adviser may have difficulty selling securities the Funds hold at the time it would like to sell, and at the value the Funds have placed on those securities.
High Yield Risk
High yield securities and unrated securities of similar credit quality (securities rated below investment grade, commonly known as “junk bonds”) are subject to greater levels of credit, call, and liquidity risks. High yield securities are considered primarily speculative with respect to the issuer’s continuing ability to make principal and interest payments and may be more volatile than higher-rated securities of similar maturity.
Long-term Ownership Strategy Risk
The Funds’ investment approach generally emphasizes buying and holding securities over long periods. As such, the Funds could continue to hold certain securities through adverse cycles for those securities rather than selling them, which could cause the Funds to underperform compared to a fund that has invested in similar securities but actively shifts its portfolio assets to take advantage of market opportunities and that does not seek reduced portfolio turnover.
Tax Risk
The Funds’ long-term ownership strategy historically has resulted in a low rate of turnover in its portfolio. Therefore, the Funds have accumulated a large amount of unrealized capital gains, and distribution of such gains to shareholders may be larger than the capital gain distributions made by other similar mutual funds. As a result, unless you are purchasing shares of the Funds through a tax-advantaged account (such as an IRA), buying shares at a time when the Funds have unrealized gains might eventually cost you money in taxes.
Large Cap Risk
The risk that returns on investments in stocks of large companies could trail the returns on investments in stocks of smaller and mid-sized companies.
Mid Cap Stock Risk
The risk that stocks of mid-sized companies may be subject to more abrupt or erratic market movements than stocks of larger, more established companies, and may lack sufficient market liquidity. Generally, the smaller the company size, the greater the risk.
56
ADVISERS INVESTMENT TRUST
STATE FARM FUNDS
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)
September 30, 2022
Interest Rate Risk
The risk that during periods of rising interest rates, the Funds’ yield (and the market value of its securities) will tend to be lower than prevailing market rates; in periods of falling interest rates, the Funds’ yield (and the market value of its securities) will tend to be higher. Securities with longer maturities tend to be more sensitive to changes in interest rates, causing them to be more volatile than securities with shorter maturities. Securities with shorter maturities tend to provide lower returns and be less volatile than securities with longer maturities.
Prepayment (or Call) Risk
The risk that an issuer could exercise its right to pay principal on an obligation held by the Funds (such as an asset-backed security) earlier than expected. The exercise of such right may result in a decreased rate of return and a decline in value of those obligations and, accordingly, a decline in the Funds’ net asset value.
U.S. Government Securities Risk
The risk that the U.S. government will not provide financial support to its agencies, instrumentalities or sponsored enterprises if it is not obligated to do so by law. Certain U.S. government securities purchased by the Funds are neither issued nor guaranteed by the U.S. Treasury and, therefore, may not be backed by the full faith and credit of the United States.
Municipal Securities Risks
The municipal market can be significantly affected by adverse tax, legislative, political or public health changes and the financial condition of issuers of municipal securities. In recent years an increasing number of municipal issuers have defaulted on obligations, been downgraded or commenced insolvency proceedings. The Funds may be more sensitive to adverse economic, business, political or public health developments if it invests more than 25% of its assets in the debt securities of similar projects (such as those relating to education, health care, housing, transportation, and utilities), industrial development bonds, or in particular types of municipal securities (such as general obligation bonds, private activity bonds and moral obligation bonds). While interest earned on municipal securities is generally not subject to federal tax, any interest earned on taxable municipal securities is fully taxable at the federal level and may be subject to tax at the state level. Municipal securities may be fully or partially backed or enhanced by the taxing authority of a local government, by the current or anticipated revenues from a specific project or specific assets, or by the credit of, or liquidity enhancement provided by, a private issuer. Special factors, such as legislative changes, and state and local economic and business developments, may adversely affect the yield and/or value of the Fund’s investments in municipal securities. For example, the novel coronavirus (COVID-19) has significantly stressed the financial resources of many municipal issuers, which may impair a municipal issuer’s ability to meet its financial obligations and could adversely impact the value of its bonds, which in turn could negatively impact the performance of the Funds. The secondary market for municipal obligations also tends to be less well developed and less liquid than many other securities markets, which may limit the Funds’ ability to sell its municipal obligations at attractive prices.
Credit (or Default) Risk
The risk that the inability or unwillingness of an issuer or a counterparty to meet its principal or interest payments or other financial obligations will adversely affect the value of the Funds’ investments and their returns. The credit quality of a debt security or of the issuer of a debt security held by the Funds could deteriorate rapidly, which may impair the Funds’ liquidity or cause a deterioration in the Funds’ net asset value.
Debt Extension Risk
The risk that an issuer will exercise its right to pay principal on an obligation held by the Funds later than expected. Under these circumstances, the value of the obligation will decrease.
Inflation Risk
The risk that the value of the assets or income from an investment will be worth less in the future as inflation decreases the value of money.
Income Risk
The risk that the income from the bonds the Funds holds will decline. This risk applies when the Funds invest the proceeds from new share sales, or from matured or called bonds, at market interest rates that are below the portfolio’s current earnings rate.
Valuation Risk
The risk that the sale price the Funds could receive for a portfolio security may differ from the Funds’ valuation of the security, particularly for securities that trade in low volume or volatile markets or that are valued using a fair value methodology. Fair valuation of the Funds’ investments involves subjective judgment. The Funds’ ability to value their investments may be impacted by technological issues and/or errors by pricing services
57

September 30, 2022
or other third-party service providers. In addition, the value of the securities in the Funds’ portfolios may change on days when shareholders will not be able to purchase or sell the Funds’ shares.
Stock Index Futures Risk
The risk arising from the Funds’ use of futures and includes: the risk that there will be imperfect correlation between the change in market value of the Funds’ securities and the price of futures contracts; the possible inability of the Funds to close a futures contract when desired; losses due to unanticipated market movements, which potentially are unlimited; and the possible inability of the Funds’ investment sub-adviser to correctly predict the direction of securities prices, interest rates, currency exchange rates and other economic factors.
Geographic and Sector Risk
The risk that if a Fund invests a significant portion of its total assets in certain issuers within the same state, geographic region or economic sector,an adverse economic, business or political development affecting that state, region or sector may affect the value of the Fund’s investments more, and the Fund’s investments may be more volatile, than if its investments were not so concentrated in such geographic region or economic sector.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
To the Board of Trustees of Advisers Investment Trust and Shareholders of State Farm Growth Fund, State Farm Balanced Fund, State Farm Interim Fund, and State Farm Municipal Bond Fund
Opinions on the Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying statements of assets and liabilities, including the schedules of investments, of State Farm Growth Fund, State Farm Balanced Fund, State Farm Interim Fund, and State Farm Municipal Bond Fund (four of the funds constituting Advisers Investment Trust, hereafter collectively referred to as the “Funds”) as of September 30, 2022, the related statements of operations for the year ended September 30, 2022, the statements of changes in net assets for the year ended September 30, 2022, for the period December 1, 2020 through September 30, 2021 and for the year ended November 30, 2020, including the related notes, and the financial highlights for each of the periods indicated therein (collectively referred to as the “financial statements”). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of each of the Funds as of September 30, 2022, the results of each of their operations for the year then ended, the changes in each of their net assets for the year ended September 30, 2022, for the period December 1, 2020 through September 30, 2021 and for the year ended November 30, 2020 and each of the financial highlights for each of the periods indicated therein in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
Basis for Opinions
These financial statements are the responsibility of the Funds’ management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Funds’ financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB) and are required to be independent with respect to the Funds in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our audits of these financial statements in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud.
Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of September 30, 2022 by correspondence with the custodian and brokers; when replies were not received from brokers, we performed other auditing procedures. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinions.

EXPENSE EXAMPLES
September 30, 2022 (Unaudited)
As a Fund shareholder, you may incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees and other Fund expenses. The examples below are intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Funds and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds. Please note that the expenses shown in the tables are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transactional costs. Therefore, the examples are useful in comparing ongoing costs only and will not help you determine the relative total cost of owning different funds. In addition, if these transactional costs were included, your costs would have been higher.
The examples below are based on an investment of $1,000 invested at April 1, 2022 and held for the entire period through September 30, 2022.
The Actual Expense Example below provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use this information, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the table under the heading entitled “Expenses Paid” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.
The Hypothetical Expense Example below provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on a Fund’s actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not a Fund’s actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Funds and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds.

Data as of September 30, 2022. The Fund’s performance reflects the reinvestment of dividends as well as the impact of transaction costs and the deduction of fees and expenses. The performance does not reflect taxes that a shareholder would pay on Fund distributions or on the redemption of Fund shares.
The Fund commenced operations on March 27, 2018.
* Expense ratios are per the most recent Fund Prospectus dated January 28, 2022. The Adviser has entered into a contractual expense limitation agreement with respect to the Fund until January 28, 2023.

dividends reinvested, but does not reflect fees, brokerage commissions, or other investment expenses, and is expressed in U.S. Dollars. The table reflects the theoretical reinvestment of dividends on securities in the index. The impact of transaction costs and the deduction of expenses associated with a mutual fund, such as investment management and administration fees, are not reflected in the index calculations. It is not possible to invest directly in an index.
Portfolio Commentary
For the 12 months ended September 30, 2022, the Vontobel U.S. Equity Institutional Fund delivered a net return of -15.76%, slightly underperforming the S&P 500 benchmark return of -15.47%. An overweight in the consumer staples sector, combined with positive stock selection were the largest contributors to relative performance, followed by positive stock selection combined with an overweight to health care. However stock selection in the information technology sector was the largest detractor to relative returns, followed by our zero allocation to energy.
Leading contributors to the Fund’s absolute performance during the period were UnitedHealth Group Inc, Progressive Corp., and Humana Inc.
UnitedHealth Group Inc.
United Health outperformed as the company’s business was rightly seen as less economically sensitive than most. This led to the stock being more defensive as the market sold off on fears of coming economic weakness. United Health Group, established in 1977, is a diversified health care company based in Minnesota. It operates through two distinct platforms: United Healthcare, which provides health care coverage and benefits services; and Optum, which provides information and technology-enabled health services.
Progressive Corp.
Progressive outperformed over the past 12 months as the company has been raising premium rates (in responses to elevated claims). Also, Progressive’s business is less cyclical and thus the stock tends to hold up better when recession risk rises. Progressive is a leader in non-standard, high-risk personal auto insurance.
Humana Inc.
Humana outperformed over the past 12 months as the business we believe is recession resilient. Also, this year the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services announced a higher-than-expected 2023 rate increase for Medicare Advantage plans (the core business of Humana). Humana is a US health insurance company. Its core business is providing coverage for seniors (over 65 years old) under a program called Medicare Advantage. We believe Humana can benefit from a long-term growth tailwind of more seniors signing up for Medicare Advantage (because for most seniors it is a superior alternative to traditional Medicare).
Leading detractors from the Fund’s absolute performance were Paypal Holdings Inc., Comcast Inc., and Amazon.com Inc.
Paypal Holdings Inc. (PYPL)
After reporting weaker-than-expected results in 2H21, PYPL rescinded their mid-term guidance and announced a strategic pivot that shifts away from account growth to ARPA (average revenue per account) growth, with a focus on engaging high-quality users while scaling down campaigns solely aimed at increasing total number of users. The company had mistakenly extrapolated that the outsized e-commerce growth of recent years would sustain post-pandemic and invested aggressively to acquire customers, many of whom ended up with low levels of engagement. Going forward, the company plans to be more disciplined in user acquisition and focus on driving stronger uptake from existing users who have already shown potential to be highly engaged. Our independent due diligence re-affirmed our view that PYPL was still far and away the most recognized and frequently used digital wallet, that

the company’s merchant footprint continued to increase throughout COVID thus strengthening their two-sided network, and that its share gain had sustained through the pandemic. As a result, we concluded that the new strategy was sensible and that the company was well positioned to execute the strategy. We believe despite the strategic adjustments, PYPL continued to be a growing, profitable and cash-generative business with a compelling competitive advantage. We did revise down the earnings per share growth forecast to account for more moderate industry growth expectations as well as near-term headwind from slower user growth while recognizing lowered visibility from the strategic pivot, which in turn were reflected in smaller position sizing for PYPL. PayPal has established itself as the dominant on-line digital payments business, operating in a space where many competitors have come and gone over the years. There is a long, highly visible secular tailwind of businesses moving from off-line to on-line, and PayPal is participating in that growth with a strong competitive advantage driven by its two-sided network. PayPal has successfully created closer partnerships with networks and issuers and built a more platform-based business model to get more deeply entrenched with clients and improve its value proposition. The company has also made savvy acquisitions to further bolster its product offerings and competitive position.
Comcast Corp.
Comcast was weak as the slowdown in subscriber additions hit during the second and third quarters. Comcast Corporation (CMCSA) is a Philadelphia-based cable TV conglomerate operating with two main divisions: Xfinity brand for cable/internet/phone service and NBCUniversal for TV/movie/theme park content and production. The cable company also owns the Philadelphia Flyers NHL team and arena. CMCSA has proven to be a strong compounder on its record of earnings (double-digit) and returns, and we believe the company has a superior business/network mix. Management has a solid track record in cable and shareholder value creation. CMCSA also has the optional scope to drive further national consolidation of industry and new areas of growth (home security, commercial apps, Internet of Things).
Amazon.com Inc. (AMZN)
Amazon missed expectations earlier this year mainly due to higher-than-expected costs driven by wage, logistics and fuel costs as well as lower productivity of labour and fulfillment. Two thirds of the incremental costs relate to lower productivity which the company is confident they can control and as utilization improves will see operating leverage. Despite a strong rebound in July, the stock gave back some performance in September due to the rotation away from growth stocks. Operationally AMZN reported strong Q2 numbers with operating profit coming in around 84% ahead of expectations and revenue guidance for 3Q an acceleration from 2Q with foreign exchange neutral growth of 17%-21%. Amazon is the leading player in ecommerce in North America, and has leading positions in several markets in Europe, as well as India and Japan. Amazon was able to do this by offering very competitive pricing, free shipping for Prime members, and convenience. Amazon also has the leading position globally in Cloud services with AWS.
Opinions expressed are subject to change at any time, are not guaranteed and should not be considered investment advice.
Investing involves risk, including the possible loss of principal. The market price of equity securities may be affected by financial market, industry, or issuer-specific events. Focus on a particular style or on small or medium sized companies may enhance that risk. Larger companies value may not rise as much as smaller companies and larger companies may be unable to respond quickly to competitive challenges. A fund that focuses its investments in a particular industry or sector will be more sensitive to conditions that affect that industry or sector than a non-concentrated fund. Investing internationally, especially in emerging markets, involves additional risks such as currency, political, accounting, economic, and market risk.
Fund holdings and sector allocations are subject to change at any time and should not be considered a recommendation to buy or sell any security. Please refer to the Schedule of Investments in this report for a complete list of Fund holdings.

ADVISERS INVESTMENT TRUST
VONTOBEL U.S. EQUITY INSTITUTIONAL FUND
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
September 30, 2022
Advisers Investment Trust (the “Trust”) is a Delaware statutory trust operating under a Fourth Amended and Restated Agreement and Declaration of Trust (the “Trust Agreement”) dated March 10, 2022. The Trust was formerly an Ohio business trust, which commenced operations on December 20, 2011. On March 31, 2017, the Trust was converted to a Delaware statutory trust. As an open-end registered investment company, as defined in Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2013-08, the Trust follows accounting and reporting guidance under FASB Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 946, “Financial Services – Investment Companies”. The Trust Agreement permits the Board of Trustees (the “Trustees” or “Board”) to authorize and issue an unlimited number of shares of beneficial interest, at no par value, in separate series of the Trust. The Vontobel U.S. Equity Institutional Fund (the “Fund”) is a series of the Trust and commenced operations on March 27, 2018. These financial statements and notes only relate to the Fund.
The Fund is a diversified fund. The investment objective of the Fund is to provide long-term capital appreciation.
Under the Trust’s organizational documents, its officers and Trustees are indemnified against certain liabilities arising out of the performance of their duties to the Trust and Fund. In addition, in the normal course of business, the Trust enters into contracts with its vendors and others that provide for general indemnifications. The Fund’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown, as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Fund.
A. | Significant accounting policies are as follows: |
INVESTMENT VALUATION
Investments are recorded at fair value. Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The valuation techniques employed by the Fund, as described below, maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs in determining fair value. These inputs are summarized in the following three broad levels:
Level 1 —quoted prices in active markets for identical assets
Level 2 — other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices of similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.)
Level 3 — significant unobservable inputs (including the Fund’s own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments)
The inputs or methodology used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities. For example, certain short-term debt securities may be valued using amortized cost. Generally, amortized cost approximates the current value of a security, but since this valuation is not obtained from a quoted price in an active market, such securities would be reflected as Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy.
Security prices are generally provided by an approved independent third party pricing service as of the close of the New York Stock Exchange, normally at 4:00 p.m. Eastern Time, each business day on which the share price of the Fund is calculated. Equity securities listed or traded on a primary exchange are valued at the closing price, if available, or the last sales price on the primary exchange. If no sale occurred on the valuation date, the securities will be valued at the latest quotations as of the close of the primary exchange. Investments in other open-end registered investment companies are valued at their respective net asset value as reported by such companies. In these types of situations, valuations are typically categorized as Level 1 in the fair value hierarchy.
Debt and other fixed income securities, if any, are generally valued at an evaluated price provided by an approved independent pricing source. To value debt securities, pricing services may use various pricing techniques, which take into account appropriate factors such as market activity, yield, quality, coupon rate, maturity, type of issue, trading characteristics, call features, credit ratings and other data, as well as broker quotes. Short-term debt securities of sufficient credit quality that mature within sixty days may be valued at amortized cost, which approximates fair value. In each of these situations, valuations are typically categorized as Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy.

ADVISERS INVESTMENT TRUST
VONTOBEL U.S. EQUITY INSTITUTIONAL FUND
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
September 30, 2022
Prior to September 8, 2022, when the price of a security was not readily available or deemed unreliable (e.g., an approved pricing service does not provide a price, a furnished price is in error, certain stale prices, or an event occurs that materially affects the furnished price), the Fund’s Fair Value Committee would in good faith establish a fair value for that security in accordance with procedures established by and under the general supervision of the Trustees. Since September 8, 2022, the Trustees designated Vontobel Asset Management, Inc., as investment adviser to the Fund, as the Fund’s Valuation Designee with responsibility for establishing fair value when the price of a security is not readily available or deemed unreliable. In addition, fair value pricing may be used if events materially affecting the value of foreign securities occur between the time when the exchange on which they are traded closes and the time when the Fund’s net asset value is calculated. The Fund identifies possible fluctuations in international securities by monitoring the increase or decrease in the value of a designated benchmark index. In the event of an increase or decrease greater than predetermined levels, the Fund may use a systematic valuation model provided by an approved independent third party pricing service to fair value its international equity securities.
In the fair value situations noted above, while the Trust’s valuation policy is intended to result in a calculation of the Fund’s net asset value that fairly reflects security values as of the time of pricing, the Trust cannot ensure that fair values determined pursuant to these guidelines would accurately reflect the price that the Fund could obtain for a security if it were to dispose of that security as of the time of pricing (for instance, in a forced or distressed sale). The prices used by the Fund may differ from the value that would be realized if the securities were sold, and these differences could be material to the financial statements. Depending on the source and relative significance of the valuation inputs in these instances, the instruments may be classified as Level 2 or Level 3 in the fair value hierarchy.
The following is a summary of the valuation inputs used as of September 30, 2022 in valuing the Fund’s investments based upon the three fair value levels defined above:
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
Fund | | Level 1 - Quoted Prices | | | Level 2 - Other Significant Observable Inputs | | | Level 3 - Significant Unobservable Inputs | | | Total | |

As of September 30, 2022 there were no Level 2 or Level 3 securities held by the Fund. There were no transfers to or from Level 3 during the year ended September 30, 2022.
CURRENCY TRANSACTIONS
The functional and reporting currency for the Fund is the U.S. dollar. The market values of foreign securities, currency holdings and other assets and liabilities are translated into U.S. dollars based on the current exchange rates each business day. Purchases and sales of securities and income and expense items denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollars at the exchange rate in effect on the transaction date. The Fund does not separately report the effects of changes in foreign exchange rates from changes in market prices on securities held. Such changes are included in Net Realized and Unrealized Gains (and Losses) from Investment Activities on the Statements of Operations. The Fund may invest in foreign currency-denominated securities and may engage in foreign currency transactions either on a spot (cash) basis at the rate prevailing in the currency exchange market at the time or through a forward foreign currency contract. Realized foreign exchange gains or losses arising from sales of spot foreign currencies, currency gains or losses realized between the trade and settlement dates on securities transactions and the difference between the recorded amounts of dividends, interest, and foreign withholding taxes and the U.S. dollar equivalent of the amounts actually received or paid are included in Net realized gains (losses) from foreign currency transactions on the Statements of Operations. Net unrealized foreign exchange gains (losses) arising from changes in foreign exchange rates on foreign denominated assets and liabilities other than investments in securities held at the end of the reporting period are included in Change in unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on foreign currency on the Statement of Operations.

ADVISERS INVESTMENT TRUST
VONTOBEL U.S. EQUITY INSTITUTIONAL FUND
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
September 30, 2022
The Fund may engage in spot currency transactions for the purpose of foreign security settlement and operational processes. Changes in foreign currency exchange rates will affect the value of the Fund’s securities and the price of the Fund’s shares. Generally, when the value of the U.S. dollar rises in value relative to a foreign currency, an investment in that country loses value because that currency is worth fewer U.S. dollars. Devaluation of a currency by a country’s government or banking authority also may have a significant impact on the value of any investments denominated in that currency. Currency markets generally are not as regulated as securities markets.
INVESTMENT TRANSACTIONS AND INCOME
Investment transactions are accounted for no later than one business day after trade date. For financial reporting purposes, investments are reported as of the trade date. The Fund determines the gain or loss realized from investment transactions by using an identified cost basis method. Interest income is recognized on an accrual basis and includes, where applicable, the amortization of premium or accretion of discount. Dividend income is recognized on the ex-dividend date. Dividends from foreign securities are recorded on the ex-dividend date, or as soon as the information is available.
EXPENSE ALLOCATIONS
Expenses directly attributable to a fund in the Trust are charged to that fund, while expenses that are attributable to more than one fund in the Trust are allocated among the applicable funds on a pro-rata basis to each adviser’s series of funds based on relative net assets or another reasonable basis.
DIVIDENDS AND DISTRIBUTIONS
The Fund intends to distribute substantially all of its net investment income as dividends to shareholders on an annual basis. The Fund intends to distribute its net realized long-term capital gains and its net realized short-term capital gains at least once a year.
Distributions from net investment income and from net realized capital gain are determined in accordance with Federal income tax regulations, which may differ from accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”). These “book/tax” differences are either considered temporary or permanent in nature. To the extent these differences are permanent in nature (e.g. treatment of certain dividend distributions, gains/losses, return of capital, redemption in-kind, etc.), such amounts are reclassified within the composition of net assets based on their federal tax-basis treatment; temporary differences do not require reclassification. Distributions to shareholders that exceed net investment income and net realized capital gains for tax purposes are reported as return of capital.
FEDERAL INCOME TAX INFORMATION
No provision is made for Federal income taxes as the Fund intends to qualify each year as a “regulated investment company” under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), and distribute substantially all of its net investment income and net realized capital gain in accordance with the Code.
As of September 30, 2022, the Fund did not have uncertain tax positions that would require financial statement recognition or disclosure based on an evaluation of all open tax years for all major tax jurisdictions. The Fund’s tax return for the tax years ended September 30, 2022, 2021, 2020 and 2019 remain subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service. Interest or penalties incurred, if any, on future unknown, uncertain tax positions taken by the Fund will be recorded as interest expense on the Statement of Operations.
Management is not aware of any tax positions for which it is reasonably possible that the total amounts of unrecognized tax benefits will change materially in the next 12 months.
USE OF ESTIMATES
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from these estimates.

OTHER RISKS
The Fund is subject to market risk, which is the risk related to investments in securities in general and the daily fluctuations in the securities markets. The Fund’s investment return per share will change daily based on many factors, including fluctuation in interest rates, the quality of the instruments in the Fund’s investment portfolio, national and international economic conditions and general market conditions. The increasing interconnectivity between global economies and financial markets increases the likelihood that events or conditions in one region or financial market may adversely impact issuers in a different country, region or financial market. Securities in the Fund’s portfolio may be impacted by inflation (or expectations for inflation), interest rates, global demand for particular products or resources, natural disasters, pandemics (including COVID-19), epidemics, terrorism, regulatory events and governmental or quasi-governmental actions. These events can have a significant impact on the Fund’s operations and performance.
B. | Fees and Transactions with Affiliates and Other Parties |
The Trust, on behalf of the Fund, has entered into an Amended and Restated Investment Advisory Agreement (the “Agreement”) with Vontobel Asset Management, Inc. (the “Adviser” or “Vontobel”) to provide investment advisory services to the Fund. Under the terms of the Agreement, the Fund pays the Adviser an annual fee based on the Fund’s daily net assets as set forth in the following table. The total fees incurred by the Fund pursuant to the Agreement is reflected as “Investment advisory” fees on the Statement of Operations. In addition, the Adviser has contractually agreed to waive fees and/or reimburse expenses to the extent that Total Annual Operating Expenses (exclusive of brokerage and other transaction expenses relating to the purchase or sale of portfolio investments, interest, taxes, short sale dividends and financing costs associated with the use of the cash proceeds on securities sold short, litigation and indemnification expenses, expenses associated with the investments in underlying investment companies and extraordinary expenses) exceed the rate in the table below.

Vontobel U.S. Equity Institutional Fund | | Class I | | 0.50% on first $500 million 0.45% on assets over $500 million | |
| | 0.65% |
The expense limitation agreement is effective until January 28, 2023 for the Fund at which time it will be subject to automatic renewal upon the effective date of the annual update to the the Fund’s registration statement. If it becomes unnecessary for the Adviser to waive fees or make reimbursements, the Adviser may recapture any of its prior waivers or reimbursements for a period not to exceed three years from the date on which the waiver or reimbursement was made to the extent that such a recapture does not cause the Total Annual Fund Operating Expenses (exclusive of brokerage and other transaction expenses relating to the purchase or sale of portfolio investments, interest, taxes, short sale dividends and financing costs associated with the use of the cash proceeds on securities sold short, litigation and indemnification expenses, expenses associated with the investments in underlying investment companies and extraordinary expenses) to exceed the current expense limitation at the time of repayment or the applicable expense limitation that was in effect at the time of the waiver or reimbursement. The agreement to waive fees and/or reimburse expenses automatically renews annually from year to year on the effective date of each subsequent annual update to the Fund’s registration statement, until such time as the Adviser provides written notice of non-renewal, and will terminate automatically upon termination of the Agreement.

A significant portion of the Fund’s shares may be held in a limited number of shareholder accounts including in certain omnibus or institutional accounts which typically hold shares for the benefit of other underlying investors. To the extent that a shareholder or group of shareholders redeem a significant portion of the shares issued by the Fund, this could have a disruptive impact on the efficient implementation of the Fund’s investment strategy.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
To the Shareholders and the Board of Trustees of Vontobel U.S. Equity Institutional Fund
Opinion on the Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities of Vontobel U.S. Equity Institutional Fund (the “Fund”) (one of the funds constituting Advisers Investment Trust (the “Trust”)), including the schedule of investments, as of September 30, 2022, and the related statement of operations for the year then ended, the statements of changes in net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended, the financial highlights for each of the four years in the period then ended and the period from March 27, 2018 (commencement of operations) through September 30, 2018 and the related notes (collectively referred to as the “financial statements”).
In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Fund (one of the funds constituting Advisers Investment Trust) at September 30, 2022, the results of its operations for the year then ended, the changes in its net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended, and its financial highlights for each of the four years in the period then ended and the period from March 27, 2018 (commencement of operations) through September 30, 2018, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.
Basis for Opinion
These financial statements are the responsibility of the Fund’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Fund’s financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (“PCAOB”) and are required to be independent with respect to the Trust in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Fund is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of the Fund’s internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audits, we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Fund’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.
Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of September 30, 2022, by correspondence with the custodian. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
We have served as the auditor on one or more investment companies in the Trust since 2013

As a Fund shareholder, you may incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees and other Fund expenses. The examples below are intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds. Please note that the expenses shown in the tables are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transactional costs. Therefore, the examples are useful in comparing ongoing costs only and will not help you determine the relative total cost of owning different funds. In addition, if these transactional costs were included, your costs would have been higher.
The examples below are based on an investment of $1,000 invested at April 1, 2022 and held for the entire period through September 30, 2022.

The Actual Expense Example below provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use this information, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the table under the heading entitled “Expenses Paid” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.
The Hypothetical Expense Example below provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Fund’s actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Fund’s actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Fund and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds.
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
| | Expense Ratio | | Beginning Account Value 4/1/2022 | | | Ending Account Value 9/30/2022 | | | Expenses Paid 4/1/22–9/30/22* | |

Hypothetical | | 0.65% | | $ | 1,000.00 | | | $ | 1,021.80 | | | $ | 3.29 | |
*Actual expenses are calculated using each Fund’s annualized expense ratio (as disclosed in the table), multiplied by the average account value for the period, multiplied by the actual number of operational days in the most recent half fiscal year (183), and divided by the number of days in the current year (365).
