(APSGX)
Semi-Annual Report
November 30, 2015
(Unaudited)
APEXcm SMALL/MID-CAP GROWTH FUND LETTER TO SHAREHOLDERS | November 30, 2015 |
Dear APEXcm Small/Mid-Cap Growth Fund Shareholder:
For the six month semi-annual period ended November 30, 2015, the APEX Small/Mid-Cap Growth Fund (the “Fund”) returned -6.37% (net of fees). For the same period the benchmark, Russell 2500 Growth index returned -4.59%. During this period, equity markets were generally weak while exhibiting higher than normal volatility.
APEX PHILOSOPHY
We believe that the best way to provide value-added returns is to identify companies that exhibit certain favorable fundamental advantages and benefit from secular growth trends, allowing us to structure the portfolio in high-conviction areas of longer-term sustainable growth. Embedded in our portfolio construction is the recognition of companies at different stages of their growth cycle, which we designate as “stable” and “emerging” growth stocks. We believe that having the spectrum of growth companies that are truly innovative and growing rapidly, combined with established growth companies, can provide relative stability while allowing the opportunity to drive outperformance versus our benchmark and peers over time. In addition, we believe the SMID style provides the opportunity to invest in higher growth companies and capture a longer period of growth as these companies mature.
MARKET ENVIRONMENT
Macroeconomic events have caused volatility in financial markets to increase. For instance, there was a five-day stretch in August when the S&P 500 Index dropped 11%, which was the first greater than 10% correction in U.S. equity markets since 2011. The reasons for the increased volatility are diverse and complex. Stubborn weakness in the worldwide commodity complex, a slowdown in the Chinese economy, potential interest rate hikes in the U.S., and the resulting policy divergence of the Federal Reserve and other central banks throughout the world are some of the reasons (not necessarily in order of importance) for the heightened volatility. Actions by Japan, China, and others to devalue their currencies in an effort to increase the competitiveness of their economies have made the U.S. dollar stronger. Recently the strength of the U.S. dollar has stoked fears about the fate of emerging market countries, which had issued enormous debt denominated in U.S. dollars. We live in a global economy and U.S. dollar strength has impacted the competitiveness of U.S. exporters while depressing reported earnings of U.S. companies (since dollar strength depresses the growth rate of profits earned abroad).
FUND PERFORMANCE
Relative to the benchmark, the Russell 2500 Growth Index, the Fund benefited from the exposure to Information Technology and Consumer Discretionary and was negatively affected by its weightings in Financials and Health Care. Stock
1
selection in Energy and Information Technology contributed to performance while stock selection in Healthcare and Industrials hurt performance. During the period, Healthcare and Industrials were especially weak.
SECTOR OBSERVATIONS
Information Technology: The expected capital expenditure recovery has not come through as corporate America is still digesting the overall macroeconomic environment after the financial crisis. Relative to the benchmark, we have maintained an overweight in Information Technology with our investments in payments and processing companies, which exhibit steady cash flows and less economic cyclicality, providing strong returns from Global Payments, Heartland Payments and Total Systems Services. A major detractor from performance included cybersecurity-focused FireEye where management changes, competition, and valuations priced for perfect execution put downward pressure on the stock.
Financials: The low interest rates and continued regulatory burden have dampened earnings growth within the Financials sector. Banks have been forced to fortify their capital levels by the Federal Reserve. At the same time, valuation levels are reasonable and the U.S. banking system seems to be in pretty good shape to withstand any future stresses. Although the Fund was underweight in this positive-performing sector, performance benefitted from First Republic Bank, which continues to grow at a level that is multiples above peer banks while maintaining a stronger credit profile.
Energy and Materials: These sectors’ stocks have been hurt by oversupply. Oil supply has been driven by the Saudis refusing to be swing producers, in part due to new supply from the U.S. The surplus in Materials has resulted from overbuilding within China or for the Chinese market, which doesn’t need as much as the world can produce. The oil situation may resolve itself quickly if the Saudis decide to revert to their traditional role, but the materials glut is likely to exist for awhile. Although our slight overweight in Energy detracted from performance, stock selection in Core Labs, with its reservoir management platform, held up much better than the production companies during the volatile time.
Health Care: The biotech portion of Health Care had been especially strong the past few years. We have maintained a slight overweight in the Health Care sector with weakness resulting from political risk related to drug pricing, potential for setbacks in drug pipelines, and overvaluation of nascent biotech companies. A biotech company in our portfolio, Receptos, was acquired at a healthy premium and returned 40% during the period. The Specialty Pharmaceuticals portion of Health Care has come under pressure because of the heightened awareness of Valeant Pharmaceutical-like business models. (i.e., acquire older drugs, cut R&D, and raise prices). This hurt our investments in drug companies Horizon Pharmaceutical and AMAG Pharmaceutical. Also, we were successful with our investment in DexCom, a leader in continuous glucose monitoring systems used in diabetes care; however several successes were offset by quality businesses such as Medivation and Akorn exhibiting harsh pullbacks from their successful advances.
2
Consumer Discretionary: In spite of low oil prices, Consumer Discretionary had disappointing earnings because of an unusually warm winter, thanks to El Nino. Department stores continued to perform poorly, but the Entertainment industry did well due to a slew of new movie releases. The Auto industry also continued to show resilience. Although slightly underweight the Consumer Discretionary sector, our continued focus on the strategic advantages of e-commerce platforms once again provided positive contribution to the Fund’s portfolio, as Expedia performed very well during the fiscal period. With its continued success and acquisition spree, Expedia reached our capitalization limit, and we sold it during the period.
Consumer Staples: Although a big beneficiary of lower oil prices, we have maintained an underweight position as this traditionally defensive sector has been weak due to a combination of low growth and stretched valuation metrics relative to growth. Hain Celestial continues to grow its natural/organic footprint world-wide, but it had disappointing results during the fiscal period.
Industrials: Weakness in Industrials was driven by the economic malaise throughout the world, the lack of pricing power, and the lack of demand in a slow growth environment. We have maintained an underweight in Industrials given the sector’s sensitivity to declining GDP growth, the declining energy markets, and the slowdown in China. We have focused on more service-oriented opportunities (e.g., Robert Half, Proto Labs, and Towers Watson) as well as the Aerospace and Defense industries. We continue to evaluate areas that may benefit from the global recovery, such as Europe and Japan, but remain cautious given the slow capital expenditure recovery, and subdued signs of a reacceleration in global growth. During the reporting period, Westinghouse Air Brake underperformed as the slowdown in passenger and freight rails, as well as delay in the implementation of positive train control, impacted the Company’s projected guidance. Also, Avis Budget Group performed poorly as the consolidating industry continues to put turf war pressure on rental pricing. As we evaluate moving forward, the risk-reward calculus (attractive valuations) has improved dramatically, but any additional commitment is dependent on a bottoming in oil and reacceleration of global growth.
OUTLOOK
At Apex, one of the foundations of our firm is focusing on the long-term sustainability of secular growth trends. During challenging times, we remain committed to the opportunities provided in such areas as payments and processing, consumer mobility, big data and cloud computing, the U.S. manufacturing renaissance, personalized medicine and genomics, and energy independence. As we navigate through the early stages of the self-sustaining U.S. economy, coupled with global growth concerns and the divergence of global monetary policies, our emphasis will continue to be on selective opportunities that could benefit from these trends. We are monitoring the strength of the employment markets and the service economy with its notable wage pressures and corresponding margin impact as well as the current deterioration in the credit markets. In our stable growth names, we will continue to focus on balance sheet flexibility (as depicted by accelerating cash flow) along with organic revenue and earnings growth. These companies should also be more levered to U.S. growth, with
3
identified catalysts and capital deployment strategies. While maintaining our emphasis on the long-term, emerging growth companies in key strategic areas will be highly scrutinized in order to determine their viability in this more volatile environment.
Thank you for your continued confidence in the APEXcm Small/Mid Cap Growth Fund.
Sincerely,
Nitin N. Kumbhani
President and Chief Investment Officer

APEXcm SMALL/MID-CAP GROWTH FUND
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
November 30, 2015 (Unaudited)
1. Organization
APEXcm Small/Mid-Cap Growth Fund (the “Fund”) is a diversified series of Ultimus Managers Trust (the “Trust”), an open-end investment company established as an Ohio business trust under a Declaration of Trust dated February 28, 2012. Other series of the Trust are not incorporated in this report. The Fund commenced operations on June 29, 2012.
The investment objective of the Fund is long-term capital growth.
2. Significant Accounting Policies
The following is a summary of the Fund’s significant accounting policies. The policies are in conformity with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles in the United States of America (“GAAP”). As an investment company, as defined in Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Update 2013-08, the Fund follows accounting and reporting guidance under FASB Accounting Standards Codification Topic 946, “Financial Services – Investment Companies.”
Securities valuation – The Fund values its portfolio securities at market value as of the close of regular trading on the New York Stock Exchange (the “NYSE”) (normally 4:00 p.m. Eastern time) on each business day the NYSE is open for business. The Fund values its listed securities on the basis of the security’s last sale price on the security’s primary exchange, if available, otherwise at the exchange’s most recently quoted bid price. NASDAQ-listed securities are valued at the NASDAQ Official Closing Price. In the event that market quotations are not readily available or are considered unreliable due to market or other events, the Fund values its securities and other assets at fair value in accordance with procedures established by and under the general supervision of the Board of Trustees (the “Board”). Under these procedures, the securities will be classified as Level 2 or 3 within the fair value hierarchy (see below), depending on the inputs used. Unavailable or unreliable market quotes may be due to the following factors: a substantial bid-ask spread; infrequent sales resulting in stale prices; insufficient trading volume; small trade sizes; a temporary lapse in any reliable pricing source; and actions of the securities or futures markets, such as the suspension or limitation of trading. As a result, the prices of securities used to calculate the Fund’s net asset value may differ from quoted or published prices for the same securities.
GAAP establishes a single authoritative definition of fair value, sets out a framework for measuring fair value, and requires additional disclosures about fair value measurements.
14
APEXcm SMALL/MID-CAP GROWTH FUND
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)
Various inputs are used in determining the value of the Fund’s investments. These inputs are summarized in the three broad levels listed below:
● Level 1 – quoted prices in active markets for identical securities
● Level 2 – other significant observable inputs
● Level 3 – significant unobservable inputs
The inputs or methods used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risks associated with investing in those securities. The inputs used to measure fair value may fall into different levels of the fair value hierarchy. In such cases, for disclosure purposes, the level in the fair value hierarchy within which the fair value measurement falls in its entirety is determined based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement.
The following is a summary of the inputs used to value the Fund’s investments as of November 30, 2015:
| | Level 1 | | | Level 2 | | | Level 3 | | | Total | |
Common Stocks | | $ | 270,605,241 | | | $ | — | | | $ | — | | | $ | 270,605,241 | |
Money Market Funds | | | 11,239,141 | | | | — | | | | — | | | | 11,239,141 | |
Total | | $ | 281,844,382 | | | $ | — | | | $ | — | | | $ | 281,844,382 | |
Refer to the Fund’s Schedule of Investments for a listing of the common stocks by industry type. As of November 30, 2015, the Fund did not have any transfers into and out of any Level. In addition, the Fund did not hold derivative instruments or any assets or liabilities that were measured at fair value on a recurring basis using significant unobservable inputs (Level 3) as of November 30, 2015. It is the Fund’s policy to recognize transfers into and out of any Level at the end of the reporting period.
Share valuation – The net asset value per share of the Fund is calculated daily by dividing the total value of the Fund’s assets, less liabilities, by the number of shares outstanding. The offering price and redemption price per share of the Fund is equal to the net asset value per share.
Investment income – Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date. Interest income is accrued as earned.
Security transactions – Security transactions are accounted for on the trade date. Gains and losses on securities sold are determined on a specific identification basis.
Common expenses – Common expenses of the Trust are allocated among the Fund and the other series of the Trust based on the relative net assets of each series or the nature of the services performed and the relative applicability to each series.
15
APEXcm SMALL/MID-CAP GROWTH FUND
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)
Distributions to shareholders – The Fund will distribute to shareholders any net investment income and net realized capital gains at least once each year. The amount of such dividends and distributions are determined in accordance with federal income tax regulations, which may differ from GAAP. Dividends and distributions are recorded on the ex-dividend date. There were no distributions paid to shareholders during the periods ended November 30, 2015 or May 31, 2015.
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 as of the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of income and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Federal income tax – The Fund has qualified and intends to continue to qualify as a regulated investment company under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 (the “Code”). Qualification generally will relieve the Fund of liability for federal income taxes to the extent 100% of its net investment income and net realized capital gains are distributed in accordance with the Code. Accordingly, no provision for income tax has been made.
In order to avoid imposition of the excise tax applicable to regulated investment companies, it is also the Fund’s intention to declare as dividends in each calendar year at least 98% of its net investment income (earned during the calendar year) and 98.2% of its net realized capital gains (earned during the twelve months ended October 31) plus undistributed amounts from prior years.
The following information is computed on a tax basis for each item as of November 30, 2015:
Tax cost of portfolio investments | | $ | 271,232,232 | |
Gross unrealized appreciation | | $ | 32,453,671 | |
Gross unrealized depreciation | | | (21,841,521 | ) |
Net unrealized appreciation | | | 10,612,150 | |
Accumulated net investment loss | | | (1,161,445 | ) |
Undistributed long term gains | | | 385,173 | |
Other gains | | | 4,852,122 | |
Accumulated earnings | | $ | 14,688,000 | |
16
APEXcm SMALL/MID-CAP GROWTH FUND
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)
The federal income tax cost of portfolio investments and the tax components of accumulated earnings may temporarily differ from the financial statement cost of portfolio investments and components of net assets (“book/tax difference”). These book/tax differences are due to the recognition of capital gains or losses under income tax regulations and GAAP, primarily due to the tax deferral of losses on wash sales.
The Fund recognizes the tax benefits or expenses of uncertain tax positions only when the position is “more likely than not” to be sustained assuming examination by tax authorities. Management has reviewed the Fund’s tax positions for the current and all open tax periods (periods ended May 31, 2013 through May 31, 2015) and has concluded that no provision for unrecognized tax benefits or expenses is required in these financial statements. The Fund identifies its major tax jurisdiction as U.S. Federal.
3. Investment Transactions
During the six months ended November 30, 2015, cost of purchases and proceeds from sales of investment securities, other than short-term investments, were $76,573,686 and $22,357,425, respectively.
4. Transactions with Related Parties
INVESTMENT ADVISORY AGREEMENT
The Fund’s investments are managed by Apex Capital Management, Inc. (the “Adviser”) pursuant to the terms of an Investment Advisory Agreement. Under the Investment Advisory Agreement, the Fund pays the Adviser an advisory fee, computed and accrued daily and paid monthly, at the annual rate of 1.00% of its average daily net assets.
Pursuant to an Expense Limitation Agreement (“ELA”) between the Fund and the Adviser, the Adviser has contractually agreed, until October 1, 2017, to reduce investment advisory fees and reimburse other operating expenses to limit total annual operating expenses of the Fund (exclusive of brokerage costs, taxes, interest, acquired fund fees and expenses, extraordinary expenses such as litigation and merger or reorganization costs, and other expenses not incurred in the ordinary course of the Fund’s business) to an amount not exceeding 1.05% of the Fund’s average daily net assets. Accordingly, during the six months ended November 30, 2015, the Adviser reduced its advisory fees in the amount of $206,265.
17
APEXcm SMALL/MID-CAP GROWTH FUND
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)
Under the terms of the ELA, investment advisory fee reductions and expense reimbursements by the Adviser are subject to recoupment by the Adviser for a period of three years after such fees and expenses were incurred, provided the recoupments do not cause total annual operating expenses of the Fund to exceed 1.05% of average daily net assets. As of November 30, 2015, the Adviser may seek recoupment of investment advisory fee reductions and expense reimbursements no later than the dates as stated below:
May 31, 2016 | | $ | 77,487 | |
May 31, 2017 | | | 223,293 | |
May 31, 2018 | | | 317,860 | |
November 30, 2018 | | | 206,265 | |
Certain officers of the Fund are also officers of the Adviser.
OTHER SERVICE PROVIDERS
Ultimus Fund Solutions, LLC (“Ultimus”) provides fund administration, fund accounting, compliance and transfer agency services to the Fund. The Fund pays Ultimus fees in accordance with the agreements for such services. In addition, the Fund pays out-of-pocket expenses including but not limited to postage, supplies and costs of pricing the Fund’s portfolio securities.
Under the terms of a Distribution Agreement with the Trust, Ultimus Fund Distributors, LLC (the “Distributor”) serves as principal underwriter to the Fund. The Distributor is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Ultimus. The Distributor is compensated by the Adviser (not the Fund) for acting as principal underwriter.
Certain officers and a Trustee of the Trust are also officers of Ultimus and the Distributor.
TRUSTEE COMPENSATION
Each Trustee who is not an “interested person” of the Trust (“Independent Trustee”) receives from the Fund a fee of $500 for each Board meeting attended plus reimbursement of travel and other meeting-related expenses. In addition, each Independent Trustee receives a $500 annual retainer from the Fund. Trustees affiliated with the Adviser or Ultimus are not compensated by the Fund for their services.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)
PRINICIPAL HOLDERS OF FUND SHARES
As of November 30, 2015, the following shareholders owned of record 5% or more of the outstanding shares of the Fund:
Name of Record Owner | % Ownership |
UBS Financial Services, Inc. (for the benefit of its customers) | 37% |
Charles Schwab & Company, Inc. (for the benefit of its customers) | 26% |
A beneficial owner of 25% or more of the Fund’s outstanding shares may be considered a controlling person. That shareholder’s vote could have a more significant effect on matters presented at a shareholder’s meeting.
5. Sector Risk
If the Fund has significant investments in the securities of issuers within a particular sector, any development affecting that sector will have a greater impact on the value of the net assets of the Fund than would be the case if the Fund did not have significant investments in that sector. In addition, this may increase the risk of loss in the Fund and increase the volatility of the Fund’s net asset value per share. For instance, economic or market factors, regulatory changes or other developments may negatively impact all companies in a particular sector, and therefore the value of the Fund’s portfolio will be adversely affected. As of November 30, 2015, the Fund had 33.0% of the value of its net assets invested in stocks within the Information Technology sector.
6. Contingencies and Commitments
The Fund indemnifies the Trust’s officers and Trustees for certain liabilities that might arise from their performance of their duties to the Fund. Additionally, in the normal course of business the Fund enters into contracts that contain a variety of representations and warranties and 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, based on experience, the Fund expects the risk of loss to be remote.
7. Subsequent Events
The Fund is required to recognize in the financial statements the effects of all subsequent events that provide additional evidence about conditions that existed as of the date of the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. For non-recognized subsequent events that must be disclosed to keep the financial statements from being misleading, the Fund is required to disclose the nature of the event as well as an estimate of its financial effect, or a statement that such an estimate cannot be made. Management has evaluated subsequent events through the issuance of these financial statements and has noted no such events.

APEXcm SMALL/MID-CAP GROWTH FUND
ABOUT YOUR FUND’S EXPENSES (Unaudited)
We believe it is important for you to understand the impact of costs on your investment. As a shareholder of the Fund, you incur ongoing costs, including management fees and other operating expenses. The following examples 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.
A mutual fund’s ongoing costs are expressed as a percentage of its average net assets. This figure is known as the expense ratio. The expenses in the table below are based on an investment of $1,000 made at the beginning of the most recent period (June 1, 2015) and held until the end of the period (November 30, 2015).
The table below illustrates the Fund’s ongoing costs in two ways:
Actual fund return – This section helps you to estimate the actual expenses that you paid over the period. The “Ending Account Value” shown is derived from the Fund’s actual return, and the third column shows the dollar amount of operating expenses that would have been paid by an investor who started with $1,000 in the Fund. You may use the information here, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period.
To do so, 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 given for the Fund under the heading “Expenses Paid During Period.”
Hypothetical 5% return – This section is intended to help you compare the Fund’s ongoing costs with those of other mutual funds. It assumes that the Fund had an annual return of 5% before expenses during the period shown, but that the expense ratio is unchanged. In this case, because the return used is not the Fund’s actual return, the results do not apply to your investment. The example is useful in making comparisons because the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) requires all mutual funds to calculate expenses based on a 5% return. You can assess the Fund’s ongoing costs by comparing this hypothetical example with the hypothetical examples that appear in shareholder reports of other funds.
Note that expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight and help you compare ongoing costs only. The Fund does not charge transaction fees, such as purchase or redemption fees, nor does it carry a “sales load.”
The calculations assume no shares were bought or sold during the period. Your actual costs may have been higher or lower, depending on the amount of your investment and the timing of any purchases or redemptions.

BARROW VALUE OPPORTUNITY FUND LETTER TO SHAREHOLDERS | December 22, 2015 |
Dear Shareholder,
We are pleased to report on the status and performance of the Barrow Value Opportunity Fund (“the Fund”) for the six months ended November 30, 2015.
We believe that the Fund owns a well-positioned portfolio of equity interests in excellent businesses at attractive valuations. This portfolio is highly diversified by market capitalization segments (large, middle, small), industry sectors, and issuers. In selecting investments for the Fund, we search for businesses that feature high returns on capital, wide operating margins, and low debt loads. Based on our estimates of intrinsic value, we believe our portfolio’s valuation is attractively low on an absolute basis and less expensive than the U.S. stock market as represented by the S&P 500® Index (the “S&P 500”).
On August 30, 2013, the Fund was reorganized as a mutual fund from a private limited partnership, which had commenced operations on December 31, 2008. Please refer to the Performance Information on pages 4 and 5 for a summary of Fund performance versus the S&P 500 over various periods since the Fund’s inception.
The Fund’s long-term performance has been excellent relative to the S&P 500. The Fund has exceeded the total return of the S&P 500 in five of the past six calendar years1. During the most recent six months ended November 30, 2015, the Fund returned -1.47% net of all fees and expenses, which underperformed the S&P 500 by 1.26%. This underperformance is primarily attributable to the Fund’s mid-cap and small-cap positions.
Barrow Street Advisors, LLC (the “Adviser”) continues to use its proprietary private-equity approach to uncover companies that exhibit its Quality-meets-Value criteria. Based on extensive research by the Adviser, the Fund seeks to generate long-term capital appreciation by investing in companies with fundamental operating and financial attributes representative of both quality and value. To increase the Fund’s chances for success, we invest in a variety of positions that are diversified across market capitalization and industry sectors.
Over the past six months, we uncovered 44 new investment opportunities, composed of 20 small-caps, 12 mid-caps, and 12 large-caps, and representing seven different industry sectors. We believe all of these new additions to the Fund’s portfolio are excellent companies with strong balance sheets. These companies are generally using their ample free cash flow to: a) re-invest in growth opportunities at high rates of return on investment; b) pay dividends; c) repurchase stock at attractive valuations; and/or d) retire outstanding debt.
In keeping with our practice since the beginning of 2009, over the past six months the Fund’s investments were sourced by taking account of the opportunity set of all companies in our broad investment universe each time we committed capital to a new position. We think this approach allows us to uncover excellent investment
1
opportunities that arise from temporary market inefficiencies and to gather up the most compelling investments across a wide array of industries and market capitalizations, while avoiding the destructive behavioral biases inherent in concentrated-stock and sector-specialized investing.
Seven of the Fund’s holdings were announced as take-over targets over the past six months, which was approximately twice the market average. The Fund has had investments in 74 take-overs since December 31, 20081, or roughly quadruple the market average2. The control premiums we have captured by virtue of holding stocks that end up being merger targets has made repeated and meaningful contributions to the Fund’s total returns, and we expect continued benefits from this effect going forward. We typically sell companies from the Fund’s portfolio soon after they are announced as take-over targets and re-invest that capital.
Over the past six months, the Fund’s portfolio generated total returns, before fees and expenses, of -0.97%, including +5.44% for large-caps, -2.86% for mid-caps and -1.91% for small-caps. This compares to -0.21% for the S&P 500 (for large-caps), -3.32% for the S&P 400 Midcap (for mid-caps), and -3.21% for the Russell 2000 (for small-caps) over the same period. The Fund’s sectors with the best absolute performance were Consumer Staples and Health Care, which generated total returns of +10.89% and +4.99%, respectively. The Fund’s sectors with the worst absolute performance were Materials and Industrials, which returned -9.28% and -8.83%, respectively.
You can find additional commentary and reports about the Adviser’s management of the Fund’s portfolio on the Barrow Funds’ website (www.barrowfunds.com), including our unique “consolidated look-through” report in which we compare the portfolio of the Fund with the S&P 500 as if they were both public holding companies like Berkshire Hathaway. The consolidated look-through analysis is another example of how we look at the Fund’s portfolio through a private-equity lens. We focus on the key characteristics of good business, such as total enterprise value (not just equity market capitalization), unleveraged cash flow, return on capital, leverage, growth, and insider ownership. We believe this unique approach has served our investors well, and we remain confident in the future.

The Predecessor Private Fund was reorganized into the Institutional Class shares of the Barrow Value Opportunity Fund on August 30, 2013, the date that the Fund commenced operations (the “Reorganization”). Barrow Value Opportunity Fund has been managed in the same style and by the same portfolio managers since the Predecessor Private Fund’s inception on December 31, 2008. The performance information shows the Predecessor Private Fund’s returns calculated using the actual fees and expenses charged by the Predecessor Private Fund. This prior performance is net of management fees and other expenses, but does not include the effect of the Predecessor Private Fund’s performance fee, which was in place until October 7, 2012. Prior to the Reorganization, the Predecessor Private Fund was not subject to certain investment restrictions, diversification requirements, and other restrictions of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, or Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, which, if they had been applicable, might have adversely affected Barrow Value Opportunity Fund’s performance. |

BARROW LONG/SHORT OPPORTUNITY FUND LETTER TO SHAREHOLDERS | December 22, 2015 |
Dear Shareholder,
We are pleased to report on the status and performance of the Barrow Long/Short Opportunity Fund (“the Fund”) for the six months ended November 30, 2015.
We believe the Fund owns a well-positioned long portfolio of equity positions in excellent businesses at attractive valuations that feature high returns on capital, wide operating margins, and low debt load. The Fund also maintains short positions the common stock of companies that we believe represent poor business characteristics and are trading at high prices. The Fund’s long and short portfolios are highly diversified by market cap segments (large, mid, small), industry sectors, and issuers.
We believe the Fund is well positioned to do well in most future market conditions, especially a bear market. In our opinion, the Fund’s long and short portfolios are cheap and expensive, respectively, on an absolute basis and in relation to the U.S. stock market as represented by the S&P 500® Index (“S&P 500”). We believe the Fund’s short portfolio provides a meaningful hedge against the market’s potential downside volatility.
For the six months ended November 30, 2015, the Fund posted a total return of +3.39%, which compares to -0.21% for the S&P 500 and -4.44% for the HFRI Equity Hedge Index. The Fund outperformed the S&P 500 due primarily to the significant negative return of its short portfolio, which generated a positive return for the Fund.
The Fund maintains a target gross exposure of approximately 220% of its net assets, with long exposure of 130%, short exposure of 90%, and net exposure of 40%. For the six months ended November 30, 2015, the Fund’s long portfolio generated an unleveraged total return before fees and expenses of -0.97%, which underperformed the S&P 500 by 0.76%. This underperformance is primarily attributable to the Fund’s mid-cap and small-cap long positions. With respect to its short portfolio, the Fund experienced attractive performance as the companies that the Fund sold short had a negative overall return (positive for the Fund). The Fund’s short portfolio generated an unleveraged total return, before fees and expenses, of -5.98%, or 5.77% less than the S&P 500, with strong contributions from all three market cap segments.
Barrow Street Advisors, LLC (the “Adviser”) continues to use its proprietary private equity approach to uncover companies that exhibit its Quality-meets-Value criteria. Based on extensive research by the Adviser, the Fund seeks to generate above-average returns through capital appreciation by investing long in companies with fundamental operating and financial attributes representative of both quality and value and selling short companies of both lower quality and high price. Using this approach the Fund continued to uncover potential opportunities to: 1) purchase quality companies trading at temporary discounts to their intrinsic values; and 2) sell short the stock of lower
6
quality companies trading at prices well above their intrinsic values. To increase the Fund’s chances for success, we invest in a variety of positions diversified across market capitalization and industry sectors.
Over the past six months, we uncovered 44 new long opportunities in seven industry sectors, including 20 small-caps, 12 mid-caps, and 12 large-caps. We believe all of these new additions to the Fund’s portfolio are excellent companies with strong balance sheets. They are generally using their ample free cash flow to: a) re-invest in growth opportunities at high rates of return on investment; b) pay dividends; c) repurchase stock at attractive valuations; and/or d) retire outstanding debt. In tandem, we initiated 228 new short positions, including 113 small-caps, 57 mid-caps and 58 large-caps. We believe these companies are overpriced and exhibit weak quality characteristics.
In keeping with our past practice, over the past six months the Fund’s investments were sourced by taking account of the opportunity set of all companies in our broad investment universe each time we committed capital to a new position. We think this approach allows us to uncover excellent investment opportunities that arise from temporary market inefficiencies and to gather up the most compelling investments across a wide array of industries and market capitalizations while avoiding the destructive behavioral biases inherent in concentrated-stock and sector-specialized investing.
Seven of the Fund’s long positions were announced as take-over targets over the past six months, which was approximately twice the market average. On the short side, 28 of the Fund’s positions were announced as take-over targets over the past six months, which was approximately twice the market average1. The control premiums we have captured by virtue of holding stocks that end up being merger targets has made repeated and meaningful contributions to the Fund’s total returns, and we expect continued benefits from this effect going forward. We typically sell companies from the Fund’s portfolio soon after they are announced as take-over targets and re-invest that capital.
Over the past six months, the Fund’s long portfolio generated unleveraged total returns before fees and expenses of -0.97%, including +5.44% for large-caps, -2.86% for mid-caps and -1.91% for small-caps. This compares to -0.21% for the S&P 500 (for large-caps), -3.32% for the S&P 400 Midcap (for mid-caps), and -3.21% for the Russell 2000 (for small-caps). The Fund’s sectors with the best absolute performance were Consumer Staples and Health Care, which generated total returns of +10.89% and +4.99%, respectively. The Fund’s sectors with the worst absolute performance were Materials and Industrials, which returned -9.28% and -8.83%, respectively.
Over the same period, the Fund’s short portfolio generated total returns before fees and expenses of -2.23% for large-caps, -8.61% for mid-caps and -5.17% for small-caps. The Fund’s sectors with the best absolute performance were Energy and Materials, which returned -20.80% and -18.71%, respectively. The Fund’s sectors that did least well were Consumer Staples and Health Care, which generated total returns of +3.35% and -3.60%, respectively.

BARROW FUNDS
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
November 30, 2015 (Unaudited)
1. Organization
Barrow Value Opportunity Fund (formerly Barrow All-Cap Core Fund) and Barrow Long/Short Opportunity Fund (formerly Barrow All-Cap Long/Short Fund) (individually, a “Fund” and collectively, the “Funds”) are each a diversified series of Ultimus Managers Trust (the “Trust”), an open-end investment company established as an Ohio business trust under a Declaration of Trust dated February 28, 2012. Other series of the Trust are not incorporated in this report. The Funds commenced operations at the close of business on August 30, 2013.
The investment objective of Barrow Value Opportunity Fund is to seek to generate long-term capital appreciation. The investment objective of Barrow Long/Short Opportunity Fund is to seek to generate above-average returns through capital appreciation, while also attempting to reduce volatility and preserve capital during market downturns.
The Funds currently offer one class of shares which is sold without any sales loads or distribution fees. Prior to July 1, 2015, each Fund offered two classes of shares: Institutional Class shares (sold without any sales loads or distribution fees and required a $250,000 initial investment) and Investor Class shares (sold without any sales loads, but subject to a distribution fee of up to 0.25% of the average daily net assets attributable to Investor Class shares, and required a $2,500 initial investment). Each class of shares represented an ownership interest in the same investment portfolio. On June 30, 2015, all existing Investor Class shares of each Fund were converted into Institutional Class shares and the initial minimum investment was reduced to $2,500 (the “Conversion”). After the Conversion, the Institutional Class designation no longer applied to shares of the Fund.
2. Significant Accounting Policies
The following is a summary of the Funds’ significant accounting policies. The policies are in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”). As an investment company, as defined in Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Update 2013-08, the Funds follow accounting and reporting guidance under FASB Accounting Standards Codification Topic 946, “Financial Services – Investment Companies.”

BARROW FUNDS NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued) |
Securities valuation – Each Fund values its portfolio securities at market value as of the close of regular trading on the New York Stock Exchange (the “NYSE”) (normally 4:00 p.m. Eastern time) on each business day the NYSE is open for business. The Funds value their listed securities on the basis of the security’s last sale price on the security’s primary exchange, if available, otherwise at the exchange’s most recently quoted bid price. NASDAQ-listed securities are valued at the NASDAQ Official Closing Price. In the event that market quotations are not readily available or are considered unreliable due to market or other events, the Funds value their securities and other assets at fair value in accordance with procedures established by and under the general supervision of the Trust’s Board of Trustees (the “Board”). Under these procedures, the securities will be classified as Level 2 or 3 within the fair value hierarchy (see below), depending on the inputs used. Unavailable or unreliable market quotes may be due to the following factors: a substantial bid-ask spread; infrequent sales resulting in stale prices; insufficient trading volume; small trade sizes; a temporary lapse in any reliable pricing source; and actions of the securities or futures markets, such as the suspension or limitation of trading. As a result, the prices of securities used to calculate each Fund’s net asset value may differ from quoted or published prices for the same securities.
GAAP establishes a single authoritative definition of fair value, sets out a framework for measuring fair value, and requires additional disclosures about fair value measurements.
Various inputs are used in determining the value of each Fund’s investments and other financial instruments. These inputs are summarized in the three broad levels listed below:
● | Level 1 – quoted prices in active markets for identical securities |
● | Level 2 – other significant observable inputs |
● | Level 3 – significant unobservable inputs |
The inputs or methods used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risks associated with investing in those securities. The inputs used to measure fair value may fall into different levels of the fair value hierarchy. In such cases, for disclosure purposes, the level in the fair value hierarchy within which the fair value measurement falls in its entirety is determined based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement.

Refer to each Fund’s Schedule of Investments and Schedule of Securities Sold Short, as applicable, for a listing of securities by industry type. As of November 30, 2015, the Funds did not have any transfers into and out of any Level. There were no Level 3 securities or derivative instruments held by the Funds as of November 30, 2015. It is the Funds’ policy to recognize transfers into and out of any Level at the end of the reporting period.
Share valuation – The net asset value per share of each Fund is calculated daily by dividing the total value of its assets, less liabilities, by the number of shares outstanding. The offering price and redemption price per share of each Fund is equal to the net asset value per share.
Investment income/expense – Dividend income and expense are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Interest income is accrued as earned.
Security transactions – Security transactions are accounted for on the trade date. Gains and losses on securities sold are determined on a specific identification basis.

BARROW FUNDS NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued) |
Common expenses – Common expenses of the Trust are allocated among the Funds and the other series of the Trust based on the relative net assets of each series or the nature of the services performed and the relative applicability to each series.
Distributions to shareholders – The Funds distribute to shareholders any net investment income dividends and net realized capital gains distributions at least once each year. The amount of such dividends and distributions are determined in accordance with federal income tax regulations, which may differ from GAAP. Dividends and distributions to shareholders are recorded on the ex-dividend date. The tax character of distributions paid to shareholders during the periods ended November 30, 2015 and May 31, 2015 was as follows:

BARROW FUNDS NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued) |
Short Sales – Barrow Long/Short Opportunity Fund may sell securities short. For financial statement purposes, an amount equal to the settlement amount is included in the Statements of Assets and Liabilities as an asset and an equivalent liability is then subsequently marked-to-market daily to reflect the current value of the short position. Subsequent fluctuations in the market prices of securities sold, but not yet purchased, may require purchasing the securities at prices which may differ from the market value reflected on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities. The Fund is liable for any dividends payable on securities while those securities are in a short position and will also bear other costs, such as charges for the prime brokerage accounts, in connection with the short positions. These costs are reported as dividend expense and brokerage expense on securities sold short, respectively, in the Statements of Operations. As collateral for its short positions, the Fund is required under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the “1940 Act”) to maintain assets consisting of cash, cash equivalents or other liquid securities equal to the market value of the securities sold short. The cash deposits with brokers for securities sold short are reported on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities. The amount of collateral is required to be adjusted daily to reflect changes in the value of the securities sold short. To the extent Barrow Long/Short Opportunity Fund invests the proceeds received from selling securities short, the Fund is engaging in a form of leverage. The use of leverage by the Fund may make any change in the Fund’s net asset value greater than it would be without the use of leverage. Short sales are speculative transactions and involve special risks, including greater reliance on the ability of Barrow Street Advisers, LLC (the “Adviser”) to accurately anticipate the future value of a security.
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 as of the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of income and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Federal income tax – Each Fund has qualified and intends to continue to qualify each year as a regulated investment company under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”). Qualification generally will relieve each Fund of liability for federal income taxes to the extent 100% of its net investment income and net realized capital gains are distributed in accordance with the Code. Accordingly, no provision for income tax has been made.
In order to avoid imposition of the excise tax applicable to regulated investment companies, it is also each Fund’s intention to declare as dividends in each calendar year at least 98% of its net investment income (earned during the calendar year) and 98.2% of its net realized capital gains (earned during the twelve months ended October 31) plus undistributed amounts from prior years.

The following information is computed on a tax basis for each item as of November 30, 2015:
| | Barrow Value Opportunity Fund | | | Barrow Long/Short Opportunity Fund | |
Cost of portfolio investments | | $ | 30,605,452 | | | $ | 23,279,235 | |

Net unrealized depreciation on securities sold short | | | — | | | | (324,824 | ) |
Accumulated ordinary income (loss) | | | 226,396 | | | | (60,090 | ) |
Undistributed long-term gains | | | 281,634 | | | | — | |
Capital loss carryforward | | | — | | | | (218,049 | ) |
Other losses | | | (210,973 | ) | | | (98,183 | ) |
Accumulated earnings | | $ | 4,446,996 | | | $ | 984,177 | |
As of November 30, 2015, the proceeds of securities sold short on a tax basis is $16,463,534 for Barrow Long/Short Opportunity Fund.
The value of the federal income tax cost of portfolio investments, securities sold short and tax components of accumulated earnings may temporarily differ from the financial statement cost of portfolio investments and securities sold short and components of net assets (“book/tax differences”). These book/tax differences are due to the recognition of capital gains or losses under income tax regulations and GAAP, primarily the tax deferral of losses on wash sales and the tax treatment of income and capital gains on publicly-traded partnerships held by the Funds.
As of May 31, 2015, Barrow Long/Short Opportunity Fund had a short-term capital loss carryforward of $218,049 for federal income tax purposes. This capital loss carryforward, which does not expire, may be utilized in the current and future years to offset net realized capital gains, if any, prior to distributing such gains to shareholders.
The Funds recognize tax benefits or expenses of uncertain tax positions only when the position is “more likely than not” of being sustained assuming examination by tax authorities. Management has reviewed the tax positions taken on Federal income tax returns for the current and all open tax years (tax years ended May 31, 2014 and May 31, 2015) and has concluded that no provision for unrecognized tax benefits or expenses is required in these financial statements. The Funds identify their major tax jurisdiction as U.S. Federal.

INVESTMENT ADVISORY AGREEMENT
Each Fund’s investments are managed by the Adviser pursuant to the terms of an Investment Advisory Agreement. Barrow Value Opportunity Fund pays the Adviser an investment advisory fee, computed and accrued daily and paid monthly, at the annual rate of 0.99% of its average daily net assets. Barrow Long/Short Opportunity Fund pays the Adviser an investment advisory fee, computed and accrued daily and paid monthly, at the annual rate of 1.50% of its average daily net assets.
Pursuant to an Expense Limitation Agreement (“ELA”) between the Funds and the Adviser, the Adviser has contractually agreed, until October 1, 2016, to reduce investment advisory fees and reimburse other operating expenses to limit total annual operating expenses of the Funds (exclusive of brokerage costs, taxes, borrowing costs such as interest and dividend expenses on securities sold short, interest, acquired fund fees and expenses, extraordinary expenses such as litigation and merger or reorganization costs, and other expenses not incurred in the ordinary course of the Funds’ business) to an amount not exceeding the following percentages of each Fund’s average daily net assets:
Barrow Value Opportunity Fund | 1.15% |
Barrow Long/Short Opportunity Fund | 1.74% |
Accordingly, during the six months ended November 30, 2015, the Adviser reduced its investment advisory fees and reimbursed other operating expenses as follows:
| | Investment Advisory Fee Reductions | | | Expense Reimbursements | | | Total | |
Barrow Value Opportunity Fund | | | $ 63,200 | | | | $ 17,840 | | | | $ 81,040 | |
Barrow Long/Short Opportunity Fund | | | $ 90,852 | | | | $ 15,757 | | | | $ 106,609 | |
71
BARROW FUNDS NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued) |
Under the terms of the ELA, investment advisory fee reductions and expense reimbursements by the Adviser are subject to recoupment by the Adviser for a period of three years after such fees and expenses were incurred, provided that the recoupments do not cause total annual operating expenses of the Funds to exceed the foregoing expense limitations. As of November 30, 2015, the Adviser may seek recoupment of investment advisory fee reductions and expense reimbursements no later than the dates as stated below:
| May 31, 2017 | May 31, 2018 | November 30, 2018 | Total |
Barrow Value Opportunity Fund | $ 118,161 | $180,140 | $ 81,040 | $ 379,341 |
Barrow Long/Short Opportunity Fund | $ 156,927 | $ 212,647 | $ 106,609 | $ 476,183 |
The Principle Executive Officer of the Funds is also an officer of the Adviser.
OTHER SERVICE PROVIDERS
Ultimus Fund Solutions, LLC (“Ultimus”) provides fund administration, fund accounting, compliance, and transfer agency services to the Funds. Each Fund pays Ultimus fees in accordance with the agreements for such services. In addition, each Fund pays out-of-pocket expenses including, but not limited to, postage, supplies, and costs of pricing its portfolio securities.
Under the terms of a Distribution Agreement with the Trust, Ultimus Fund Distributors, LLC (the “Distributor”) serves as principal underwriter to each Fund. The Distributor is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Ultimus.
Certain Trustees and officers of the Trust are also officers of Ultimus and the Distributor.
DISTRIBUTION PLAN
Prior to July 1, 2015, each Fund had adopted a distribution plan under Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act (the “Plan”) pursuant to which each Fund could pay intermediaries and other persons for rendering distribution and shareholder services and for bearing any related expenses with respect to the Investor Class of each Fund. These distribution and shareholder service fees could not exceed the annual rate of 0.25% of each Fund’s average daily net assets allocable to Investor Class Shares. During the six months ended November 30, 2015, the Investor Class of Barrow Value Opportunity Fund and Barrow Long/Short Opportunity Fund incurred $57 and $39, respectively, of distribution fees under the Plan.

TRUSTEE COMPENSATION
Each Trustee who is not an “interested person” of the Trust (“Independent Trustee”) receives from each Fund a fee of $500 for each Board meeting attended plus reimbursement of travel and other meeting-related expenses. Each Independent Trustee also receives a $500 annual retainer from each Fund. Trustees affiliated with the Adviser or Ultimus are not compensated by the Funds for their services.
PRINCIPAL HOLDERS OF FUND SHARES
As of November 30, 2015, the following shareholders owned of record 5% or more of the outstanding shares of each Fund:
Name of Record Owner | % Ownership |
Barrow Value Opportunity Fund: | |
Socatean Partners | 45% |
Charles Schwab & Company, Inc. (for the benefit of its customers) | 34% |
Robert F. Greenhill, Jr. (a principal of the Adviser) | 13% |
Barrow Long/Short Opportunity Fund: | |
Charles Schwab & Company, Inc. (for the benefit of its customers) | 52% |
Socatean Partners | 28% |
Robert F. Greenhill, Jr. | 13% |
A beneficial owner of 25% or more of either Fund’s outstanding shares may be considered a controlling person. That shareholder’s vote could have a more significant effect on matters presented at a shareholder’s meeting.
5. Borrowing Costs
Barrow Value Opportunity Fund has a secured bank line of credit with BNP Paribas that provides a maximum borrowing of up to one-third of its net assets. The line of credit may be used to maintain necessary liquidity to make payments for redemptions of Fund shares or for temporary emergency purposes. Borrowings under this arrangement bear interest at an annual rate equal to the one-month LIBOR at the time of borrowing plus 0.85%. During the six months ended November 30, 2015, Barrow Value Opportunity Fund incurred $363 of borrowing costs. As of November 30, 2015, Barrow Value Opportunity Fund did not have any outstanding borrowings. The average outstanding borrowings and average interest rate on such borrowings by Barrow Value Opportunity Fund during the six months ended November 30, 2015 were $71,296 and 1.03%, respectively. Barrow Long/Short Opportunity Fund does not have a bank line of credit.

6. Contingencies and Commitments
The Funds indemnify the Trust’s officers and Trustees for certain liabilities that might arise from their performance of their duties to the Funds. Additionally, in the normal course of business the Funds enter into contracts that contain a variety of representations and warranties and which provide general indemnifications. The Funds’ maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown, as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Funds that have not yet occurred. However, based on experience, the Funds expect the risk of loss to be remote.
7. Sector Risk
If a Fund has significant investments in the securities of issuers within a particular sector, any development affecting that sector will have a greater impact on the value of the net assets of the Fund than would be the case if the Fund did not have significant investments in that sector. In addition, this may increase the risk of loss in the Fund and increase the volatility of the Fund’s net asset value per share. Occasionally, market conditions, regulatory changes, or other developments may negatively impact a particular sector, and therefore the value of the Fund’s portfolio will be adversely affected. As of November 30, 2015, Barrow Long/Short Opportunity Fund had the following percentages of the value of its net assets invested or sold short in stocks within the following sectors:
Sector | Long Positions | Short Positions | Net Exposure |
Consumer Staples | 26.7% | (17.6%) | 9.1% |
As shown above, although the Fund has greater than 25% of the Fund’s net assets invested in long positions in the sector noted, the sector exposure is mitigated by short positions. As part of the Fund’s principal investment strategies, the Adviser monitors the Fund’s sector exposure to ensure the Fund’s portfolio is significantly diversified.
8. Subsequent Events
The Funds are required to recognize in the financial statements the effects of all subsequent events that provide additional evidence about conditions that existed as of the date of the Statements of Assets and Liabilities. For non-recognized subsequent events that must be disclosed to keep the financial statements from being misleading, the Funds are required to disclose the nature of the event as well as an estimate of its financial effect, or a statement that such an estimate cannot be made. Management has evaluated subsequent events through the issuance of these financial statements and has noted the following:
● | The subsequent payment of ordinary income dividends and long-term capital gain distributions for Barrow Value Opportunity Fund as disclosed in Note 2. |
● | The secured bank line of credit that Barrow Value Opportunity Fund had with BNP Paribas was closed on December 30, 2015. |

BARROW FUNDS ABOUT YOUR FUNDS’ EXPENSES (Unaudited) |
We believe it is important for you to understand the impact of costs on your investment. As a shareholder of the Funds, you incur ongoing costs, including management fees and other operating expenses. The following examples 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.
A mutual fund’s ongoing costs are expressed as a percentage of its average net assets. This figure is known as the expense ratio. The expenses in the table below are based on an investment of $1,000 made at the beginning of the most recent period (June 1, 2015) and held until the end of the period (November 30, 2015).
The table below illustrates each Fund’s ongoing costs in two ways:
Actual fund return – This section helps you to estimate the actual expenses that you paid over the period. The “Ending Account Value” shown is derived from each Fund’s actual return, and the fourth column shows the dollar amount of operating expenses that would have been paid by an investor who started with $1,000 in the Funds. You may use the information here, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period.
To do so, 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 given for the Funds under the heading “Expenses Paid During Period.”
Hypothetical 5% return – This section is intended to help you compare the Funds’ ongoing costs with those of other mutual funds. It assumes that each Fund had an annual return of 5% before expenses during the period shown, but that the expense ratio is unchanged. In this case, because the return used is not the Funds’ actual return, the results do not apply to your investment. The example is useful in making comparisons because the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) requires all mutual funds to calculate expenses based on a 5% return. You can assess each Fund’s ongoing costs by comparing this hypothetical example with the hypothetical examples that appear in shareholder reports of other funds.
Note that expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight and help you compare ongoing costs only. The Funds do not charge transaction fees, such as purchase or redemption fees, nor do they carry a “sales load.”
The calculations assume no shares were bought or sold during the period. Your actual costs may have been higher or lower, depending on the amount of your investment and the timing of any purchases or redemptions.

CINCINNATI ASSET MANAGEMENT FUNDS:
BROAD MARKET STRATEGIC INCOME FUND
Semi-Annual Report
November 30, 2015
(Unaudited)
CINCINNATI ASSET MANAGEMENT FUNDS: BROAD MARKET STRATEGIC INCOME FUND LETTER TO SHAREHOLDERS | January 5, 2015 |
Dear Shareholders,
Our Semi-Annual report for the Cincinnati Asset Management Funds: Broad Market Strategic Income Fund (the “Fund”) presents data and performance for the 6 months ended November 30, 2015. All of us at Cincinnati Asset Management, Inc. want to thank you for your investment with us, and we appreciate your confidence in our investment management.
The Fund invests primarily in a broad market of investment-grade and high-yield corporate bonds that we consider undervalued. We believe that our proprietary analysis enhances our ability to identify such opportunities and enables us to sell securities when opportunities that are more attractive present themselves. These investment decisions are made with the important discipline of maintaining portfolio diversification and with the dual objectives of achieving a high level of income while preserving capital. Our goal is to improve quality, increase yield, and shorten maturity in the Fund’s portfolio.
Our disciplined investing strategy resulted in the Fund holding 80 positions in the bonds of 75 different corporations on November 30, 2015. The Fund continues to be fully invested. The Fund’s performance matched the Barclays U.S. Corporate BAA Index (the “Benchmark”) for the 6-month fiscal period ended November 30, with a total return of -2.48% for both the Fund and the Benchmark. The difficult environment in the high-yield market resulted in the negative returns for both the Fund and Benchmark.
During the past 6 months, interest rates increased. On June 1, 2015, the yield on the 10-year Treasury Bond was 2.12%, and on November 30, 2015 it was 2.21%. Moreover, the premium yield on A-rated corporate bonds versus Treasuries increased from 1.09% to 1.17%, and on BBB-rated corporate bonds the premium rose from 1.78% to 2.14%. Bond prices decline as rates increase, and the lower net asset value of the Fund reflects the higher interest rates. The Federal Reserve Board (the “Fed”) increased the Federal Funds Target Rate by 0.25% during December 2015, a move that had been generally anticipated for several months. Typically, changes in the Target Rate don’t significantly influence the 10-year Treasury rate, which is 2.24% as of the date of this letter (almost the same as it was on November 30, 2015). At this time, the timing of additional rate increases is less critical than the questions of “how high” and “how fast”. As of November 30, 2015, bonds that the Fund owns were yielding 4.54% to average maturity, around 2.3% more than U.S. Treasury yields. We believe that the Fund’s positions will continue to provide excellent value relative to other investment-grade, fixed-income alternatives.
During the first half of the Fund’s fiscal year, revised gross domestic product (“GDP”) for the third calendar quarter of 2015 was +2.1%, while revised second calendar quarter of 2015 was +3.9%. Current consensus forecast for GDP growth in the fourth calendar quarter is 2.2%. Unemployment settled at 5.0% on November 30, 2015 while continuing jobless claims and initial jobless claims showed improvement. The Fed’s measure of inflation was approximately +1.5%, well below its target of 2.0%. Although interest rates will be impacted by “headline” news and the so-called “risk-off/risk-on” trades that cause short-term volatility, we intend to focus on the relative value of corporate and high-yield bonds
1
and on the intermediate-term maturity of the portfolio; it is the underlying credit quality of the companies whose bonds we purchase that influences our investment decisions, not short-term interest rate fluctuations.
Additionally, a predominant theme for the last 6 to 12 months has been the rapid decline of oil prices falling from over $100 per barrel to less than $50 per barrel, rebounding to the $60 range, and then declining to the $35 to $37 range. Many corporations engaged in exploration and production of oil, as well as many corporations providing services to the Energy sector, have experienced a significant negative impact on their revenue, and their bonds have underperformed market averages. The Fund holds several positions in these companies as well as issues of coal companies that have been adversely impacted by the pressures of a struggling coal market. We continue to actively monitor these positions to determine how they may perform over a full market cycle, always seeking to be rewarded for the risks we assume.
We expect increased volatility in fixed-income markets as some participants continually readjust positioning. High-yield bond funds saw significant liquidations in the first half of December 2015 though many experienced inflows later in the month. Although many market observers expect positive returns for high–yield debt for 2016, this will not be without volatility, in our opinion. As always, we will continue to search for value and adjust positions as we uncover compelling situations.
Thank you again for your confidence in our Fund. Our investors are very important to us and if you have any questions regarding market conditions or the Fund, please don’t hesitate to call us (513.554.8500).
Sincerely,
Cincinnati Asset Management Funds:

CINCINNATI ASSET MANAGEMENT FUNDS:
BROAD MARKET STRATEGIC INCOME FUND
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
November 30, 2015 (Unaudited)
1. Organization
Cincinnati Asset Management Funds: Broad Market Strategic Income Fund (the “Fund”) is a diversified series of Ultimus Managers Trust (the “Trust”), an open-end investment company established as an Ohio business trust under a Declaration of Trust dated February 28, 2012. Other series of the Trust are not incorporated in this report. The Fund commenced operations on October 26, 2012.
The investment objective of the Fund is to achieve a high level of income consistent with a secondary goal of capital preservation.
2. Significant Accounting Policies
The following is a summary of the Fund’s significant accounting policies. The policies are in conformity with Generally Accepted Accounting Principals in the United States of America (“GAAP”). As an investment company, as defined in Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Update 2013-08, the Fund follows accounting and reporting guidance under FASB Accounting Standards Codification Topic 946, “Financial Services – Investment Companies.”
Securities valuation – The Fund’s fixed income securities are generally valued using prices provided by an independent pricing service approved by the Trust’s Board of Trustees (the “Board”). The independent pricing service uses information with respect to transactions in bonds, quotations from bond dealers, market transactions in comparable securities, and various relationships between securities in determining these prices. The methods used by the independent pricing service and the quality of valuations so established are reviewed by Cincinnati Asset Management, Inc. (the “Adviser”), under the general supervision of the Board. Securities for which market quotations are not readily available are valued at fair value as determined in good faith under procedures adopted by the Board.
GAAP establishes a single authoritative definition of fair value, sets out a framework for measuring fair value, and requires additional disclosures about fair value measurements.
Various inputs are used in determining the value of the Fund’s investments. These inputs are summarized in the three broad levels listed below:
● | Level 1 – quoted prices in active markets for identical securities |
● | Level 2 – other significant observable inputs |
● | Level 3 – significant unobservable inputs |
Corporate bonds are classified as Level 2 since values are based on prices provided by an independent pricing service that utilizes various “other significant observable inputs” including bid and ask quotations, prices of similar securities, and interest rates, among other factors. The inputs or methods used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risks associated with investing in those securities. The inputs used to measure fair
12
CINCINNATI ASSET MANAGEMENT FUNDS: BROAD MARKET STRATEGIC INCOME FUND NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued) |
value may fall into different levels of the fair value hierarchy. In such cases, for disclosure purposes, the level in the fair value hierarchy within which the fair value measurement falls in its entirety is determined based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement.
The following is a summary of the inputs used to value the Fund’s investments as of November 30, 2015:
| | Level 1 | | | Level 2 | | | Level 3 | | | Total | |
Corporate Bonds | | $ | — | | | $ | 6,725,628 | | | $ | — | | | $ | 6,725,628 | |
Refer to the Fund’s Schedule of Investments for a listing of the securities by sector type. As of November 30, 2015, the Fund did not have any transfers into and out of any Level. In addition, the Fund did not have derivative instruments or any assets or liabilities that were measured at fair value on a recurring basis using significant unobservable inputs (Level 3) as of November 30, 2015. It is the Fund’s policy to recognize transfers into and out of any Level at the end of the reporting period.
Share valuation – The net asset value per share of the Fund is calculated daily by dividing the total value of the Fund’s assets, less liabilities, by the number of shares outstanding. The offering price and redemption price per share of the Fund is equal to the net asset value per share.
Investment income – Interest income is accrued as earned. Discounts and premiums on fixed income securities purchased are accreted or amortized using the effective interest method. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date.
Security transactions – Security transactions are accounted for on the trade date. Gains and losses on securities sold are determined on a specific identification basis.
Common expenses – Common expenses of the Trust are allocated among the Fund and other series of the Trust based on the relative net assets of each series or the nature of the services performed and the relative applicability to each series.
Distributions to shareholders – Dividends from net investment income are declared and paid quarterly to shareholders. Net realized capital gains, if any, are distributed at least once each year. The amount of distributions from net investment income and net realized capital gains are determined in accordance with federal income tax regulations, which may differ from GAAP. Dividends and distributions to shareholders are recorded on the ex-dividend date. The tax character of the Fund’s distributions during the periods ended November 30, 2015 and May 31, 2015 was ordinary income. On December 31, 2015, the Fund paid an ordinary income dividend of $0.0820 per share to shareholders of record on December 30, 2015.
13
CINCINNATI ASSET MANAGEMENT FUNDS: BROAD MARKET STRATEGIC INCOME FUND NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued) |
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 as of the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of income and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Federal income tax – The Fund has qualified and intends to continue to qualify as a regulated investment company under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 (the “Code”). Qualification generally will relieve the Fund of liability for federal income taxes to the extent 100% of its net investment income and net realized capital gains are distributed in accordance with the Code. Accordingly, no provision for income tax has been made.
In order to avoid imposition of the excise tax applicable to regulated investment companies, it is also the Fund’s intention to declare as dividends in each calendar year at least 98% of its net investment income (earned during the calendar year) and 98.2% of its net realized capital gains (earned during the twelve months ended October 31) plus undistributed amounts from prior years.
The following information is computed on a tax basis for each item as of November 30, 2015:
Tax cost of portfolio investments | | $ | 6,956,166 | |
Gross unrealized appreciation | | $ | 53,567 | |
Gross unrealized depreciation | | | (284,105 | ) |
Net unrealized depreciation on investments | | | (230,538 | ) |
Accumulated ordinary income | | | 39,701 | |
Capital loss carryforwards | | | (1,838 | ) |
Other losses | | | (80,005 | ) |
Accumulated deficit | | $ | (272,680 | ) |
As of May 31, 2015, the Fund had a short-term capital loss carryforward of $1,838. This capital loss carryforward, which does not expire, may be utilized in the current and future years to offset net realized capital gains, if any, prior to distributing such gains to shareholders.
The Fund recognizes the tax benefits or expenses of uncertain tax positions only when the position is “more likely than not” to be sustained assuming examination by tax authorities. Management has reviewed the Fund’s tax positions for the current and all open tax periods (periods ended May 31, 2013 through May 31, 2015) and has concluded that no provision for unrecognized tax benefits or expenses is required in these financial statements. The Fund identifies its major tax jurisdiction as U.S. Federal.

TRUSTEE COMPENSATION
Each Trustee who is not an “interested person” of the Trust (“Independent Trustee”) receives from the Fund a fee of $500 for each Board meeting attended plus reimbursement of travel and other meeting-related expenses. In addition, each Independent Trustee receives a $500 annual retainer from the Fund. Trustees affiliated with the Adviser or Ultimus are not compensated by the Fund for their services.
PRINCIPAL HOLDERS OF FUND SHARES
As of November 30, 2015, the following shareholders owned of record 5% or more of the outstanding shares of the Fund:
Name of Record Owner | % Ownership |
Mary S. Sloneker | 43% |
Cincinnati Asset Management, Inc. | 26% |
William S. Sloneker | 19% |
Charles Schwab & Co., Inc. (for the benefit of its customers) | 6% |
A beneficial owner of 25% or more of the Fund’s outstanding shares may be considered a controlling person. That shareholder’s vote could have a more significant effect on matters presented at a shareholder’s meeting.
5. Contingencies and Commitments
The Fund indemnifies the Trust’s officers and Trustees for certain liabilities that might arise from their performance of their duties to the Fund. Additionally, in the normal course of business, the Fund enters into contracts that contain a variety of representations and warranties and 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, based on experience, the Fund expects the risk of loss to be remote.
6. Subsequent Events
The Fund is required to recognize in the financial statements the effects of all subsequent events that provide additional evidence about conditions that existed as of the date of the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. For non-recognized subsequent events that must be disclosed to keep the financial statements from being misleading, the Fund is required to disclose the nature of the event as well as an estimate of its financial effect, or a statement that such an estimate cannot be made. Management has evaluated subsequent events through the issuance of these financial statements and has noted no such events.

CINCINNATI ASSET MANAGEMENT FUNDS: BROAD MARKET STRATEGIC INCOME FUND ABOUT YOUR FUND’S EXPENSES (Unaudited) |
We believe it is important for you to understand the impact of costs on your investment. As a shareholder of the Fund, you incur ongoing costs, including management fees, distribution (12b-1) fees and other operating expenses. The following examples 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.
A mutual fund’s ongoing costs are expressed as a percentage of its average net assets. This figure is known as the expense ratio. The expenses in the table below are based on an investment of $1,000 made at the beginning of the most recent period (June 1, 2015) and held until the end of the period (November 30, 2015).
The table below illustrates the Fund’s ongoing costs in two ways:
Actual fund return – This section helps you to estimate the actual expenses that you paid over the period. The “Ending Account Value” shown is derived from the Fund’s actual return, and the third column shows the dollar amount of operating expenses that would have been paid by an investor who started with $1,000 in the Fund. You may use the information here, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period.
To do so, 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 given for the Fund under the heading “Expenses Paid During Period.”
Hypothetical 5% return – This section is intended to help you compare the Fund’s ongoing costs with those of other mutual funds. It assumes that the Fund had an annual return of 5% before expenses during the period shown, but that the expense ratio is unchanged. In this case, because the return used is not the Fund’s actual return, the results do not apply to your investment. The example is useful in making comparisons because the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) requires all mutual funds to calculate expenses based on a 5% return. You can assess the Fund’s ongoing costs by comparing this hypothetical example with the hypothetical examples that appear in shareholder reports of other funds.
Note that expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight and help you compare ongoing costs only. The Fund does not charge transaction fees, such as purchase or redemption fees, nor does it carry a “sales load.” The calculations assume no shares were bought or sold during the period. Your actual costs may have been higher or lower, depending on the amount of your investment and the timing of any purchases or redemptions.

WAVELENGTH INTEREST RATE NEUTRAL FUND LETTER TO SHAREHOLDERS | January 6, 2016 |
Dear Fellow Shareholders:
The market environment has varied widely in the months since our last letter, based in large part on expectations for Federal Reserve (“Fed”) policy. Market pricing exhibited an unstable relationship with economic conditions as short-term fears frequently outweighed long-term fundamentals on a day-to-day basis. The resulting price volatility introduced meaningful downside risk across markets, particularly in credit and energy-related instruments. In the face of challenging conditions, we maintained a disciplined balance to growth and inflation in line with our investment mandate over the long-term.
What follows is designed to provide context around returns in a way that builds a deeper understanding of the investment process that supports them. Through this we hope to build on the partnership your investment creates.
PERFORMANCE SUMMARY
For the six months ended November 30, 2015, the Wavelength Interest Rate Neutral Fund (the “Fund”) delivered a return of -5.56% versus a benchmark return of +0.01% for the S&P / BGCantor 0-3 Month US Treasury Bill Index (which seeks to represent the return from not taking risk in financial markets). Performance over the period remained within targeted risk parameters, and the Fund has maintained its portfolio balance in line with investment objectives.
WAVELENGTH PHILOSOPHY
We believe that macroeconomic conditions drive asset prices and central banks use interest rates to manage macroeconomic conditions. Based on this fundamental logic, we seek to build a portfolio that is hedged to changes in interest rates by balancing investment exposure between instruments we expect to outperform in rising and falling macroeconomic conditions.
INVESTMENT ENVIRONMENT
As an extension of our investment philosophy we believe that changing expectations for these conditions drive investment decisions, which in turn drive market prices. While markets periodically reconnected with their macroeconomic drivers, long-term fundamental linkages were less stable due to short-term fears as uncertainty continued to drive investors in and out of cash.
Over the six months from June through November of 2015, US economic output recovered modestly from negative surprises earlier in the year, yet still lagged behind consensus expectations. Inflation similarly remained at subdued levels and was consistently below what had been forecast by economists. Downside surprises amidst prospects of rising rates resulted in conflicting signals for many asset classes.
Rising growth assets experienced one of their most challenging periods since the crisis, while falling growth assets failed to respond meaningfully to changing expectations. In line with this, rising inflation assets underperformed as energy prices continued to fall, and falling inflation assets delivered modestly positive returns.
1
Lower energy prices impacted corporate credit most intensely due to default risk concerns in the oil and gas sector. This resulted in a disconnect between high yield bonds and other rising growth assets, such as equities and convertibles. While equities bounced back from a late September sell-off, credit’s recovery was short-lived as corporate spreads remained under pressure throughout November.
Amidst uncertainty around Fed policy, US government bonds were volatile, dropping in June then recovering through mid-August, only to fall again towards the end of the period. Despite wide-ranging price moves, there was little difference in total returns between Treasuries with short, medium, and long-term maturities.
In inflation-related markets, commodities and TIPS underperformed, as expectations remained subdued throughout the period. Sovereign and corporate emerging market debt produced mixed results over the period due to a broad-based sell-off through August followed by a strong rebound when spreads to Treasuries became sufficiently attractive.
PERFORMANCE DISCUSSION
During the period from May 31, 2015 through November 30, 2015, short-term fear in markets outweighed the Fund’s long-term hedge to growth and inflation, producing negative returns overall. In the face of widespread volatility, however, this balance limited the impact of any individual market and effectively hedged away idiosyncratic risks experienced over the period.
In this context, June brought the first notable headwinds, as financial assets became correlated and investors moved to cash. Losses were suffered across the portfolio’s sub-sectors, led by rising growth assets including convertible bonds, credit and emerging market debt. The Fund recovered in July based on the rebound of many holdings that came back from relatively stressed levels.
July’s rebound proved temporary and selling pressure returned, sinking markets to levels experienced in June. The portfolio’s targeted balance, however, was more effective in this scenario, as profits from 10-year Treasuries and gold helped mitigate impacts of selling experienced elsewhere.
In October the Fund produced strong positive returns based on performance across a robust set of assets. Holdings such as corporate credit which had previously suffered most were among the portfolio’s top contributors. While government bonds and TIPS limited upside, negative returns were only modest and diversification benefits were seen more substantially in risk-adjusted results.
Assets became correlated once again in November as uncertainty around rate hikes drove investors into cash. Negative performance came from both corporate and government assets as energy prices put pressure on high yield credit and increased volatility overall. A rebound in US Treasuries, however, drove positive returns heading into month-end which helped minimize downside risk and reconnect markets with fundamental drivers.
OUTLOOK
Following the Fed’s December 16th decision to increase interest rates, further clarity around policy decisions has been provided to investors. We expect transparency to reduce uncertainty built up within the financial system and for investors to recalibrate their expectations
2
accordingly. In line with this, we believe financial markets will reconnect with their economic drivers and re-establish relationships with growth and inflation conditions maintained over the long-term.
Based on the logic detailed above and consistent with our investment process, we are positioned with a targeted balance to economic outcomes. We believe the supporting investment process remains a prudent approach that will deliver value to our investors through absolute returns.
Thank you for your trust and commitment through investment.
Sincerely,

Andrew Dassori

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
November 30, 2015 (Unaudited)
1. Organization
Wavelength Interest Rate Neutral Fund (the “Fund”) is a non-diversified series of Ultimus Managers Trust (the “Trust”), an open-end investment company established as an Ohio business trust under a Declaration of Trust dated February 28, 2012. Other series of the Trust are not incorporated in this report. The Fund commenced operations on September 30, 2013.
The investment objective of the Fund is total return.
2. Significant Accounting Policies
The following is a summary of the Fund’s significant accounting policies. The policies are in conformity with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles in the United States of America (“GAAP”). As an investment company, as defined in Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Update 2013-08, the Fund follows accounting and reporting guidance under FASB Accounting Standards Codification Topic 946, “Financial Services – Investment Companies.”
Securities and futures valuation – The Fund values its portfolio securities at market value as of the close of regular trading on the New York Stock Exchange (the “NYSE”) (normally 4:00 p.m. Eastern time) on each business day the NYSE is open. The Fund values its listed securities on the basis of the security’s last sale price on the security’s primary exchange, if available, otherwise at the exchange’s most recently quoted bid price. NASDAQ-listed securities are valued at the NASDAQ Official Closing Price. Option contracts are valued at the closing price as quoted on the exchanges in which they are primarily traded. If no closing price is readily available at the time of valuation, the option will be valued at the closing bid price for that day. The Fund values its exchange-traded futures contracts at their last sale price as of the close of regular trading on the NYSE. Prices for these futures contracts are monitored daily by the Adviser until the close of regular trading to determine if fair valuation is required.
In the event that market quotations are not readily available or are considered unreliable due to market or other events, the Fund values its securities and other assets at fair value pursuant to the procedures adopted by the Trust’s Board of Trustees (the “Board”). Under these procedures, the securities will be classified as Level 2 or 3 within the fair value hierarchy (see below), depending on the inputs used. Unavailable or unreliable market quotes may be due to the following factors: a substantial bid-ask spread; infrequent sales resulting in stale prices; insufficient trading volume; small trade sizes; a temporary lapse in any reliable pricing source; and actions of the securities or futures markets, such as the suspension or limitation of trading.
GAAP establishes a single authoritative definition of fair value, sets out a framework for measuring fair value, and requires additional disclosures about fair value measurements.
14
WAVELENGTH INTEREST RATE NEUTRAL FUND
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)
Various inputs are used in determining the value of the Fund’s investments. These inputs are summarized in the three broad levels listed below:
● | Level 1 – quoted prices in active markets for identical securities |
● | Level 2 – other significant observable inputs |
● | Level 3 – significant unobservable inputs |
The inputs or methods used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risks associated with investing in those securities. The inputs used to measure fair value may fall into different levels of the fair value hierarchy. In such cases, for disclosure purposes, the level in the fair value hierarchy within which the fair value measurement falls in its entirety is determined based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement.
The following is a summary of the inputs used to value the Fund’s investments and other financial instruments as of November 30, 2015:
| | Level 1 | | | Level 2 | | | Level 3 | | | Total | |
Investments in Securities | | | | | | | | | | | | |
Exchange-Traded Funds | | $ | 15,565,641 | | | $ | — | | | $ | — | | | $ | 15,565,641 | |
Money Market Funds | | | 250,597 | | | | — | | | | — | | | | 250,597 | |
Total | | $ | 15,816,238 | | | $ | — | | | $ | — | | | $ | 15,816,238 | |

Futures Contracts | | $ | 17,705 | | | $ | — | | | $ | — | | | $ | 17,705 | |
Futures Contracts Sold Short | | | 517 | | | | — | | | | — | | | | 517 | |
Total | | $ | 18,222 | | | $ | — | | | $ | — | | | $ | 18,222 | |
As of November 30, 2015, the Fund did not have any transfers into and out of any Level. In addition, the Fund did not have any assets or liabilities that were measured at fair value on a recurring basis using significant unobservable inputs (Level 3) as of November 30, 2015. It is the Fund’s policy to recognize transfers into and out of any Level at the end of the reporting period.
Share valuation – The net asset value per share of the Fund is calculated daily by dividing the total value of the Fund’s assets, less liabilities, by the number of shares outstanding. The offering price and redemption price per share of the Fund is equal to the net asset value per share.
Investment income – Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date. Interest income is accrued as earned.
Security transactions – Security transactions are accounted for on the trade date. Gains and losses on securities sold are determined on a specific identification basis.
Common expenses – Common expenses of the Trust are allocated among the Fund and the other series of the Trust based on the relative net assets of each series or the nature of the services performed and the relative applicability to each series.

WAVELENGTH INTEREST RATE NEUTRAL FUND
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)
Distributions to shareholders – The Fund will distribute to shareholders any net investment income on a quarterly basis and any net realized capital gains at least annually. The amount of such dividends and distributions are determined in accordance with federal income tax regulations, which may differ from GAAP. Dividends and distributions to shareholders are recorded on the ex-dividend date. The tax character of distributions paid during the periods ended November 30, 2015 and May 31, 2015 was as follows:
Periods Ended | | Ordinary Income | | | Long-Term Capital Gains | | | Total Distributions | |
November 30, 2015 | | $ | 173,245 | | | $ | — | | | $ | 173,245 | |
May 31, 2015 | | $ | 328,122 | | | $ | 13,956 | | | $ | 342,078 | |
Option contracts – The Fund may use option contracts in any manner consistent with its investment objective and as long as the use is consistent with relevant provisions of the Investment Company Act of 1940. The Fund may use options for speculative investment purposes as well as for the purpose of seeking to reduce the overall investment risk that would otherwise be associated with the securities in which the Fund invests. When the Fund purchases an option, an amount equal to the total premium (the premium plus the commission) paid by the Fund is recorded as an asset in the Fund’s Statement of Assets and Liabilities and is subsequently marked-to-market daily. Premiums paid in the purchase of options which expire are treated as realized losses. Premiums paid in the purchase of call options which are exercised increase the cost of the security purchased. If a closing sale transaction is used to terminate the Fund’s obligation on an option, a gain or loss will be realized depending upon whether the price of the closing sale transaction is more or less than the premium previously paid on the option purchased.
Futures contracts – The Fund may use futures contracts to gain exposure to or to hedge against changes in the value of equities, real estate, interest rates or commodities. A futures contract represents a commitment for the future purchase or sale of an asset at a specified price on a specified date. When the Fund purchases or sells a futures contract, no price is paid to or received by the Fund. Instead, the Fund is required to deposit in a segregated asset account an amount of cash or qualifying securities currently ranging from 2% to 10% of the contract amount. This is called the “initial margin deposit.” Subsequent payments, known as “variation margin,” are made or received by the Fund each day, depending on the daily fluctuations in the fair value of the underlying asset. The Fund recognizes an unrealized gain or loss equal to the daily variation margin. If market conditions move unexpectedly, the Fund may not achieve the anticipated benefits of the futures contracts and may realize a loss. The margin deposits for futures contracts and the variation margin payable are reported on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities.
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 as of the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of income and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
16
WAVELENGTH INTEREST RATE NEUTRAL FUND
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)
Federal income tax – The Fund has qualified and intends to continue to qualify as a regulated investment company under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 (the “Code”). Qualification generally will relieve the Fund of liability for federal income taxes to the extent 100% of its net investment income and net realized captial gains are distributed in accordance with the Code. Accordingly, no provision for income tax has been made.
In order to avoid imposition of the excise tax applicable to regulated investment companies, it is also the Fund’s intention to declare as dividends in each calendar year at least 98% of its net investment income (earned during the calendar year) and 98.2% of its net realized capital gains (earned during the twelve months ended October 31) plus undistributed amounts from prior years.
The following information is computed on a tax basis for each item as of November 30, 2015:
Tax cost of portfolio investments | | $ | 16,571,857 | |
Gross unrealized appreciation | | $ | 11,697 | |
Gross unrealized depreciation | | | (767,316 | ) |
Net unrealized depreciation | | | (755,619 | ) |
Accumulated ordinary income | | | 65,045 | |
Capital loss carryforward | | | (38,753 | ) |
Other losses | | | (607,225 | ) |
Total accumulated deficit | | $ | (1,336,552 | ) |
The value of the federal income tax cost of portfolio investments and the tax components of the accumulated deficit may temporarily differ from the financial statement cost and components of net assets (“book/tax difference”). These book/tax differences are due to the recognition of capital gains or losses under income tax regulations and GAAP, primarily the tax deferral of losses on wash sales and the tax treatment of realized and unrealized gains and losses on futures contracts.
As of May 31, 2015, the Fund had a short-term capital loss carryforward of $38,753 for federal income tax purposes. This capital loss carryforward, which does not expire, may be utilized in the current and future years to offset net realized capital gains, if any, prior to distributing such gains to shareholders.
The Fund recognizes the tax benefits or expenses of uncertain tax positions only when the position is “more likely than not” to be sustained assuming examination by tax authorities. Management has reviewed the Fund’s tax positions for the current and all open tax periods (periods ended May 31, 2014 and May 31, 2015) and has concluded that no provision for unrecognized tax benefits or expenses is required in these financial statements. The Fund identifies its major tax jurisdiction as U.S. Federal.

3. Investment Transactions
During the six months ended November 30, 2015, cost of purchases and proceeds from sales of investment securities, other than short-term investments, were $12,891,134 and $11,667,391, respectively.
4. Transactions with Related Parties
INVESTMENT ADVISORY AGREEMENT
The Fund’s investments are managed by Wavelength Capital Management, LLC (the “Adviser”) pursuant to the terms of an Investment Advisory Agreement. Under the Investment Advisory Agreement, the Fund pays the Adviser an advisory fee, computed and accrued daily and paid monthly, at the annual rate of 0.95% of its average daily net assets.
Pursuant to an Expense Limitation Agreement (“ELA”) between the Fund and the Adviser, the Adviser has contractually agreed, until October 1, 2016, to reduce investment advisory fees and reimburse other operating expenses in order to limit total annual operating expenses of the Fund (exclusive of brokerage costs; taxes; interest; borrowing costs such as interest and dividend expenses on securities sold short; acquired fund fees and expenses; extraordinary expenses such as litigation and merger or reorganization costs; and other expenses not incurred in the ordinary course of the Fund’s business) to an amount not exceeding 0.99% of the Fund’s average daily net assets. During the six months ended November 30, 2015, the Adviser did not collect any of its investment advisory fees and, in addition, reimbursed the Fund for other operating expenses totaling $4,516.
Under the terms of the ELA, investment advisory fee reductions and expense reimbursements by the Adviser are subject to recoupment by the Adviser for a period of three years after such fees and expenses were incurred, provided that the recoupments do not cause total annual operating expenses of the Fund to exceed 0.99% of the Fund’s average daily net assets. As of November 30, 2015, the Adviser may seek recoupment of investment advisory fee reductions and expense reimbursements no later than the dates as stated below:
May 31, 2017 | May 31, 2018 | November 30, 2018 | Total |
$91,664 | $157,675 | $85,031 | $334,370 |
The principal executive officer of the Fund is also an officer of the Adviser.

In the ordinary course of business, the Fund may enter into transactions subject to enforceable netting agreements or other similar arrangements (“netting agreements”). Generally, the right to offset in netting agreements allows the Fund to offset any exposure to a specific counterparty with any collateral received or delivered to that counterparty based on the terms of the agreements. Generally, the Fund manages its cash collateral securities and securities collateral on a counterparty basis.
As of November 30 2015, the offsetting of financial assets and derivative assets is as follows:

6. Certain Investments and Risks
The securities in which the Fund invests, as well as the risks associated with these securities, are described in the Fund’s prospectus. Among these risks are those associated with investments in exchange-traded funds (“ETFs”). ETFs issue their shares to authorized participants in return for a specific basket of securities. The authorized participants then sell the ETF’s shares on the secondary market. In other words, ETF shares are traded on a securities exchange based on their market value. Investments in ETFs are subject to the risk that the ETF’s shares may trade at a premium (creating the risk that the Fund pays more than net asset value (“NAV”) for an ETF when making a purchase) or discount (creating the risk that the Fund receives less than NAV when selling an ETF) to the ETF’s NAV. Investments in ETFs are also subject to index-tracking risk because the total return generated by the securities will be reduced by transaction costs and expenses not incurred by the indices. Certain securities comprising the index tracked by an ETF may, from time to time, temporarily be unavailable, which may further impede the ETF’s ability to track its applicable index or match the index’s performance. To the extent that the Fund invests in an ETF, the Fund incurs additional expenses because the Fund bears its pro-rata portion of such ETF’s advisory fees and operational expenses. Finally, ETF shares are also subject to the risks applicable to the underlying basket of securities. As of November 30, 2015, the Fund had 94.5% of the value of its net assets invested in ETFs.
7. Contingencies and Commitments
The Fund indemnifies the Trust’s officers and Trustees for certain liabilities that might arise from their performance of their duties to the Fund. Additionally, in the normal course of business, the Fund enters into contracts that contain a variety of representations and warranties and 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, based on experience, the Fund expects the risk of loss to be remote.
8. Subsequent Events
The Fund is required to recognize in the financial statements the effects of all subsequent events that provide additional evidence about conditions that existed as of the date of the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. For non-recognized subsequent events that must be disclosed to keep the financial statements from being misleading, the Fund is required to disclose the nature of the event as well as an estimate of its financial effect, or a statement that such an estimate cannot be made. Management has evaluated subsequent events through the issuance of these financial statements and has noted no such events.

ABOUT YOUR FUND’S EXPENSES (Unaudited)
We believe it is important for you to understand the impact of costs on your investment. As a shareholder of the Fund, you incur ongoing costs, including management fees and other operating expenses. The following examples 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.
A mutual fund’s ongoing costs are expressed as a percentage of its average net assets. This figure is known as the expense ratio. The expenses in the table below are based on an investment of $1,000 made at the beginning of the most recent period (June 1, 2015) and held until the end of the period (November 30, 2015).
The table below illustrates the Fund’s ongoing costs in two ways:
Actual fund return – This section helps you to estimate the actual expenses that you paid over the period. The “Ending Account Value” shown is derived from the Fund’s actual return, and the third column shows the dollar amount of operating expenses that would have been paid by an investor who started with $1,000 in the Fund. You may use the information here, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period.
To do so, 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 given for the Fund under the heading “Expenses Paid During Period.”
Hypothetical 5% return – This section is intended to help you compare the Fund’s ongoing costs with those of other mutual funds. It assumes that the Fund had an annual return of 5% before expenses during the period shown, but that the expense ratio is unchanged. In this case, because the return used is not the Fund’s actual return, the results do not apply to your investment. The example is useful in making comparisons because the SEC requires all mutual funds to calculate expenses based on a 5% return. You can assess the Fund’s ongoing costs by comparing this hypothetical example with the hypothetical examples that appear in shareholder reports of other funds.
Note that expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight and help you compare ongoing costs only. The Fund does not charge transaction fees, such as purchase or redemption fees, nor does it carry a “sales load.”
The calculations assume no shares were bought or sold during the period. Your actual costs may have been higher or lower, depending on the amount of your investment and the timing of any purchases or redemptions.
