LETTER TO SHAREHOLDERS
September 30, 2017 (Unaudited)
Dear Shareholders,
We are pleased to present the enclosed annual report for the Vericimetry U.S. Small Cap Value Fund (the “Fund”) for the year ended September 30, 2017.
Vericimetry Advisors, LLC (the “Adviser”) is an academically based, quantitatively structured investment adviser. We provide a selected group of elite financial advisors access to an enhanced index strategy for a well-defined asset class with a predetermined benchmark. The Fund’s objective is to achieve long-term capital appreciation through its principal investment strategy of investing in U.S. small capitalization and value securities.
The Fund invests in a wide and diverse universe of U.S. small capitalization value stocks using a structured quantitative investment approach based on a set of well-defined fundamental characteristics that historically has shown to deliver the risk-premiums in U.S. small and value equities. Given our capacity advantage, we employ a multi-factor approach to identify value securities. To this end, securities considered for the Fund must pass a “value screen” which combines factors such as book-to-market, price-to-earnings, price to-sales or price-to-operating cash flow.1
In an effort to enhance net returns to the investor, we implement disciplined and patient trading strategies. The Fund is managed with the intent of maintaining competitive management fees and low transaction costs, expenses and turnover in an effort to enhance net returns to the investor. We are committed to limiting the growth of the Fund’s assets under management once it reaches its optimal capacity.
We thank you for your investment in the Vericimetry U.S. Small Cap Value Fund and for the confidence and trust you place in the Adviser’s investment team.
Sincerely,
Dr. Mendel Fygenson
Chief Executive Officer
Economic, political, and issuer specific events may cause the value of securities to rise or fall. Because the value of your investment in the Fund will fluctuate, there is the risk that you will lose money. Securities of small and microcap companies are often less liquid, more volatile and they may have more limited resources. Value stocks may perform differently from the market as a whole and may underperform equity funds that use other investment strategies. The investment strategies, practices and risk analysis used by the Adviser may not produce the desired results.
1 | Book-to-market is the value ratio of a company’s book value to its market value. Price-to-earnings, price-to-sales and price-to-operating cash flow ratios are the value of a company’s share price compared to its previous twelve months earnings per share, sales per share or operating cash flow per share, respectively. |

MANAGER’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
September 30, 2017 (Unaudited)
The following overview summarizes the results of the Vericimetry U.S. Small Cap Value Fund for the fiscal year ended on September 30, 2017. In general, the Fund seeks to deliver the long side of the size-value risk premiums in U.S. securities through a well diversified portfolio. The outcomes of this fiscal year demonstrate management’s commitment to the Fund’s mandated strategy and its stated investment philosophy. Please note that returns mentioned in the summary below, for both the Fund and for the indices, are total returns.
For the fiscal year ended on September 30, 2017, the Fund had positive returns, but it underperformed its benchmark – the Russell 2000® Value Index (the “Benchmark”). Overall, the Fund’s fiscal-year annual return was a positive 19.06% versus the Benchmark’s positive return of 20.55%. For most of the year, the Fund was almost fully invested and had a well-diversified portfolio, with well over 1,000 equity holdings.
Examining the returns of different segments of the U.S. equity markets over this fiscal year provides additional information (shown below). The broad market had a large positive return, as illustrated by the Russell 3000® Index. Small cap stocks, represented by the Russell 2000® Indices, had higher returns than large cap stocks, represented by the Russell 1000® Indices. Given the Fund’s greater exposure to the smaller cap segment of the market, this size differential had a positive impact on the Fund’s returns. In general, Value stocks have underperformed Growth stocks within most of the sizes, as illustrated by the various Russell indices. Thus, the value differential, which the Fund seeks to deliver through a multifactor approach, had a small negative impact on the Fund’s returns.
For the entire fiscal year, the Fund underperformed the Benchmark by a total of 1.49%. This deficit can be entirely attributed to the performance differentials during the historic fourth quarter of 2016 (the “Quarter”). For that entire Quarter, the Fund’s return was a positive 12.49% versus the Benchmark’s positive return of 14.07%. The Benchmark’s return was greatly propelled by its large exposure to regional banks, which as a group rose more than 30% during the Quarter. As in all other quarters since the Fund’s inception, the Benchmark held, on average, 5% more weight in regional banks than the Fund, causing the Fund’s underperformance for the entire fiscal year.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
As of September 30, 2017
1. Organization
Vericimetry Funds (the “Trust”), a Delaware statutory trust, is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, as an open-end management investment company. The Trust consists of one diversified series of shares: the Vericimetry U.S. Small Cap Value Fund (the “Fund”). The Fund’s primary investment objective is to achieve long-term capital appreciation. The Fund commenced operations on December 27, 2011.
2. Significant Accounting Policies
The Fund is an investment company and accordingly follows the investment company accounting and reporting guidance of the Financial Accounting Standards Board, Accounting Standards Codification Topic 946, Financial Services – Investment Companies including FASB Accounting Standard Update ASU 2013-08.
The following is a summary of significant accounting policies consistently followed by the Trust in the preparation of its financial statements. These policies are in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) for investment companies. The presentation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of income and expenses. Actual results may differ from those estimates and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities.
(a) | Investment Valuation – Investments in securities traded on a national securities exchange, including common stocks, exchange-traded funds and rights, are valued at the last reported sales price on the day of valuation. Securities traded on the Nasdaq National Market are valued at the Nasdaq Official Closing Price (“NOCP”). If there is no last reported sale or NOCP, the value of such securities will be at the mean between the most recent quoted bid and ask prices. Debt securities are valued on the basis of bid-side prices. Money market investments are valued at their traded net asset value. Short-term investments may be valued at amortized cost, when it approximates fair value. If amortized cost does not approximate fair value, short-term securities are reported at fair value. Securities for which market quotations are not readily available are valued at their estimated fair value as determined in good faith by Vericimetry Advisors LLC (the “Adviser”) under procedures established by and under the general supervision and responsibility of the Trust’s Board of Trustees (the “Board”). |
Under GAAP, various inputs are used in determining the value of the Fund’s investments. These inputs are summarized into three broad levels and described below:
| Level 1 – | quoted prices for active markets for identical securities. An active market for the security is a market in which transactions occur with sufficient frequency and volume to provide pricing information on an ongoing basis. A quoted price in an active market provides the most reliable evidence of fair value. |
| Level 2 – | other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.). Quoted prices for identical or similar assets in markets that are not active. Inputs that are derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data. An adjustment to any observable input that is significant to the fair value may render the measurement to a Level 3 measurement. |
| Level 3 – | significant unobservable inputs, including the Fund’s own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments. |

| * | The Fund held a security classified as Level 2 security at period end because this security did not have any trading activity on September 29, 2017, the last business day of the fiscal year and thus did not have a last reported sales price of the day. As a result, this security was valued in accordance with procedures established by and under the general supervision and responsibility of the Board. This Level 2 security which was held on September 30, 2016 was classified as a Level 1 security at that time. The Fund recognizes transfers between levels at the end of the reporting period. The amount of such transfers out of Level 1 and into Level 2 was $142,760. |
| | Certain Level 1 securities at September 30, 2017 which were held at September 30, 2016, were classified as Level 2 securities at September 30, 2016 because they did not have any trading activity on September 30, 2016 and were valued at the mean between the most recent bid and ask prices. The amount of such transfers out of Level 2 into Level 1 at September 30, 2017 was $50,040. There were no other transfers between Levels. |
| ** | All corporate bonds held in the Fund are classified as Level 2 securities. |
| *** | There were no Level 3 securities as of September 30, 2017. There were no transfers into or out of Level 3 as of period end. |
(b) | Investment Transactions, Investment Income and Expenses – Investment transactions are recorded on trade date for financial reporting purposes. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date. Non-cash dividends included in dividend income, if any, are recorded at fair market value. Securities gains and losses are calculated based on highest cost, long-term holdings. Interest income is recognized on accrual basis and includes, where applicable, the amortization or accretion of premium or discount over the life of the security. Withholding taxes on foreign dividends have been provided for in accordance with the Fund’s understanding of the applicable country’s tax rules and rates. |
(c) | Federal Income Taxes – The Fund intends to comply with the requirements of Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code applicable to regulated investment companies and to distribute substantially all of its net investment income and any net realized gains to its shareholders. Therefore, no provision is made for federal income or excise taxes. Due to the timing of dividend distributions and the differences in accounting for income and realized gains and losses for financial statement and federal income tax purposes, the fiscal year in which amounts are distributed may differ from the year in which the income and realized gains and losses are recorded by the Fund. The Fund may utilize earnings and profits on redemption of shares as part of the dividends paid deduction. |

Vericimetry Funds
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)
As of September 30, 2017
GAAP requires an evaluation of tax positions taken (or expected to be taken) in the course of preparing a Fund’s tax returns to determine whether these positions meet a “more-likely-than-not” standard that, based on the technical merits, have a more than fifty percent likelihood of being sustained by a taxing authority upon examination. A tax position that meets the “more-likely-than-not” recognition threshold is measured to determine the amount of benefit to recognize in the financial statements. The Fund recognizes interest and penalties, if any, related to unrecognized tax benefits as income tax expense in the Statement of Operations.
GAAP requires management of the Fund to analyze all open tax years (for the Fund, tax years 2014-2017), as defined by IRS statute of limitations for all major jurisdictions, including federal tax authorities and certain state tax authorities. As of and during the year ended September 30, 2017, the Fund did not have a liability for any unrecognized tax benefits. The Fund has no examination in progress and 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.
(d) | Distributions to Shareholders – The Fund declares and pays dividends at least annually from net investment income and from net realized gains, if any. Distributions to shareholders are recorded on ex-dividend date. The amount and timing of distributions are determined in accordance with federal income tax regulations, which may differ from GAAP. |
(e) | Securities Lending – The Fund is authorized to lend a portion of its portfolio securities (up to a maximum value of one-third of the Fund’s total asset value) for the purpose of seeking to earn additional income net of fees. The Fund may pay reasonable administrative and custodial fees in connection with the loan. A principal risk in lending portfolio securities, as with other extensions of credit, is the possible loss of rights in the collateral should the borrower fail financially. In addition, the Fund may be exposed to the risk that the sale of any collateral realized will not yield proceeds sufficient to replace the loaned securities. In determining whether to lend securities to a particular borrower, the Adviser (subject to oversight by the Board) will consider all relevant facts and circumstances, including the creditworthiness of the borrower. The loans would be made only to firms deemed by the Adviser to be of good standing, and when, in the judgment of the Adviser, the consideration that can be earned from securities' loans of this type justifies the attendant risk. All loans are required to be secured continuously by collateral in cash, cash equivalents (negotiable certificates of deposit, bankers acceptances or letters of credit), or securities of the U.S. Government or its agencies maintained on a current basis at an amount at least equal to 102% of the current value of the securities loaned for domestic U.S. securities, (excluding Government Securities as defined below), and 105% of the current value of foreign equity loaned securities. Securities issued or guaranteed by the United States Government or its federal agencies or instrumentalities (“Government Securities”) may be maintained at 100% of current value. Collateral is received and maintained by the Fund’s securities lending agent concurrent with delivery of the loaned securities and kept in a segregated account or designated on the records of the custodian for the benefit of the Fund. The Fund will have the right to call a loan and obtain the securities loaned at any time on five days’ notice. While securities are on loan, the borrower will pay the Fund any income from the securities. Gain or loss in the value of securities loaned that may occur while the securities are on loan will be for the account of the Fund. |
The Fund may invest any cash collateral in portfolio securities and earn additional income or receive an agreed-upon amount of income from a borrower who has delivered equivalent collateral. Any such investment of cash collateral will subject the Fund to the related investment risks. The Fund will not have the right to vote on any securities having voting rights during the existence of the loan. The Fund will have the right to regain record ownership of loaned securities in order to exercise ownership rights such as voting rights, subscription rights and rights to dividends, interest or distributions.
At September 30, 2017, the value of securities loaned by the Fund was $24,050,882 and the Fund received cash collateral of $24,894,857. Securities purchased via reinvestment of cash collateral received as part of the securities lending program consisted of institutional money market funds with overnight and continuous maturities.
(f) | Disclosures about Offsetting Assets and Liabilities requires an entity to disclose information about offsetting and related arrangements to enable users of its financial statements to understand the effect of those arrangements on its financial position. The guidance requires retrospective application for all comparative periods presented. Management has evaluated the impact on the financial statement disclosures and determined that there is no effect. As there are no master netting arrangements relating to the Fund’s participation in securities lending, and all amounts related to securities lending are presented gross on the Fund’s Statement of Assets and Liabilities, no additional disclosures have been made on behalf of the Fund. Please reference Note 2(e) for additional disclosures related to securities lending, including collateral related to securities on loan. |

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)
As of September 30, 2017
3. Investment Advisory and Other Agreements
The Fund has entered into an Investment Advisory Agreement with the Adviser, pursuant to which the Adviser provides general investment advisory services for the Fund. For providing these services, the Adviser receives a fee from the Fund, accrued daily and paid monthly, at an annual rate equal to 0.50% of the Fund’s average daily net assets. However, the Adviser has contractually agreed through an Expense Limitation Agreement to waive its management fee or reimburse the Fund so that its total annual operating expenses (excluding non-operating costs, which includes but is not limited to taxes, interest, acquired fund fees and expenses, litigation, extraordinary expenses, brokerage and other transaction expenses relating to the purchase or sale of portfolio investments) do not exceed 0.60% of the Fund’s average daily net assets until January 31, 2018. For the year ended September 30, 2017, the Fund accrued $1,408,626 in advisory fees under the Investment Advisory Agreement.
Under the terms of the Expense Limitation Agreement, if at any time the expenses of the Fund are less than the expense limitation, the Adviser retains the right to seek reimbursement for any fees previously waived and/or expenses previously assumed within the prior three fiscal years, to the extent that such reimbursement will not cause the Fund’s annualized expenses to exceed 0.60% of its average net assets on an annualized basis, or the expense limitation in place at time of waiver. The Fund is not obligated to reimburse the Adviser for fees previously waived or expenses previously assumed by the Adviser more than three fiscal years before the date of such reimbursement. All such reimbursements are contingent upon Board review and approval. As of September 30, 2017, reimbursements that may potentially be made by the Fund to the Adviser total $500,448, which expire as follows:
September 30, 2018 | | $ | 162,276 | |
September 30, 2019 | | $ | 178,371 | |
September 30, 2020 | | $ | 159,801 | |
Certain officers and a Trustee of the Trust are also officers of the Adviser. Such persons are not compensated by the Fund for the services they provide to the Fund.
4. Federal Income Tax Information
At September 30, 2017, gross unrealized appreciation and depreciation on investments owned by the Fund, based on cost for federal income tax purposes were as follows:
Cost of Investments | | $ | 239,612,076 | |
Gross Unrealized Appreciation | | $ | 92,601,097 | |
Gross Unrealized Depreciation | | | (4,572,914 | ) |
Net Unrealized Appreciation | | $ | 88,028,183 | |
The difference between cost amounts for financial statement and federal income tax purposes is due primarily to timing differences in recognizing certain gains and losses in security transactions.
GAAP requires that certain components of net assets be reclassified between financial and tax reporting. These reclassifications have no effect on net assets or net asset value per share. For the year ended September 30, 2017, permanent differences in book and tax accounting have been reclassified between paid-in-capital, accumulated undistributed net investment income (loss) and accumulated net realized gain (loss) as follows:
Increase (Decrease) |
Paid-in- Capital | Accumulated Undistributed Net Investment Income | Accumulated Undistributed Net Realized Gain on Investments |
$ 1 | $ (141,514) | $ 141,513 |
25
Vericimetry Funds
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)
As of September 30, 2017
As of September 30, 2017, the components of accumulated earnings on a tax basis were as follows:
Undistributed Ordinary Income | | $ | 213,878 | |
Undistributed Long-term Gains | | | 1,199,559 | |
Tax Accumulated Earnings | | | 1,413,437 | |
Accumulated Capital and Other Losses | | $ | — | |
Unrealized Appreciation on Investments | | | 88,028,183 | |
Total Accumulated Earnings | | $ | 89,441,620 | |
Capital loss carryovers are available to offset future realized capital gains and thereby reduce further taxable gain distributions. During the year ended September 30, 2017, the Fund utilized $5,481,824 of short-term and $1,272,780 of long-term non-expiring capital loss carryovers.
The tax character of distributions paid during the fiscal years ended September 30, 2017 and September 30, 2016 were as follows:
| | September 30, 2017 | | | September 30, 2016 | |
Distributions Paid From: | | | | | | |
Ordinary Income | | $ | 1,770,699 | | | $ | 1,892,275 | |
Long-term Capital Gains | | | — | | | | — | |
Total Distributions | | $ | 1,770,699 | | | $ | 1,892,275 | |
5. Investment Transactions
For the year ended September 30, 2017, the Fund’s purchases and sales of investments, excluding short-term investments, were as follows:
Purchases | Sales |
$ 115,339,736 | $ 126,984,715 |
6. Concentration Risk
The Fund may invest a significant portion (27.0% as of September 30, 2017) of its assets in securities of companies in the financial services industry, developments affecting the financial services industry will have a disproportionate impact on the Fund. If the Fund invests more heavily in the financial sector, the value of its shares may be especially sensitive to factors and economic risks that specifically affect that sector, such as interest rate risk and credit risk. As a result, the Fund's share price may fluctuate more widely than the value of shares of a mutual fund that invests in a broader range of sectors.
7. Indemnifications
In the normal course of business, the Fund enters into contracts that contain a variety of representations, which provide general indemnifications. The Fund’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown, as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Fund that have not yet occurred. However, the Fund expects the risk of loss to be remote.
8. Events Subsequent to the Fiscal Year End
The Fund has adopted financial reporting rules regarding subsequent events which require an entity to recognize in the financial statements the effects of all subsequent events that provide additional evidence about conditions that existed at the date of the balance sheet. There were no subsequent events or transactions that occurred that materially impacted the amounts or disclosures in the Fund’s financial statements, through the date of issuance of these financial statements.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the Shareholders of Vericimetry U.S. Small Cap Value Fund and
Board of Trustees of Vericimetry Funds
We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities, including the schedule of investments, of Vericimetry Funds comprising Vericimetry U.S. Small Cap Value (the “Fund”) as of September 30, 2017, 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, and the financial highlights for each of the five years in the period then ended. These financial statements and financial highlights are the responsibility of the Fund’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and financial highlights based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). 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. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of September 30, 2017, by correspondence with the custodian and brokers. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements and financial highlights referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Vericimetry U.S. Small Cap Value Fund as of September 30, 2017, 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 five years in the period then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

EXPENSE EXAMPLE
For the Six Months Ended September 30, 2017 (Unaudited)
As a shareholder of the Fund, you incur ongoing costs, including management fees and other Fund expenses. This Example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds.
The Example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period from April 1, 2017 through September 30, 2017 (the “period”).
Actual Expenses
The first line of the table below provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this line, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 equals 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the first line under the heading entitled “Expenses Paid During the Period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during the period.
Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes
The second line of the table below provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Fund’s actual expense 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 other funds.
Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transactional costs. Therefore, the second line of the table is useful in comparing the ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transactional costs were included, your costs could have been higher.
Expenses Paid During the Period
| Beginning account value April 1, 2017 | Ending account value September 30, 2017 | Expenses paid during the period ended September 30, 2017* |
Actual Example | $ 1,000.00 | $ 1,061.70 | $ 3.10 |
Hypothetical Example, assuming a 5% return before expenses | 1,000.00 | 1,021.99 | 3.04 |
* | Expenses are equal to the Fund’s annualized expense ratio of 0.60% multiplied by the average account value over the period, multiplied by 183/365 (to reflect the six month period). |

Risk Disclosures
Economic, political, and issuer specific events may cause the value of securities to rise or fall. Because the value of your investment in the Fund will fluctuate, there is the risk that you will lose money. Securities of small and microcap companies are often less liquid, more volatile and they may have more limited resources. Value stocks may perform differently from the market as a whole and may underperform equity funds that use other investment strategies. The investment strategies, practices and risk analysis used by the Adviser may not produce the desired results.
