How did the Fund perform last year and what affected its performance?
For the 12-month period ended June 30, 2024, the Fund underperformed its benchmark, the Russell 1000 Index.
WHAT FACTORS INFLUENCED PERFORMANCE
Underperformance in the Fund was driven primarily by health care. Sentiment within health care was weak during the 3rd quarter of 2023, as investors continued to deliberate any potential impacts from GLP-1s. Information Technology was the best performing sector both in absolute terms and from a relative perspective, driven by NVIDIA Corporation, a market leader in advanced graphic processing units. The stock traded up sharply over the period following robust financial results and investor excitement for Artificial Intelligence, broadly.
The Fund’s allocation to Information Technology increased during the period, primarily from strong absolute performance and the additions of Cadence Design Systems, Marvell Technology and Workday. Our exposure to health care also decreased during the period due to the exit of DexCom. While DexCom executed on penetrating several patient populations during our 7-year ownership period, there are fewer unserved patient population into which the company can expand.
The Fund delivered strong absolute performance during the period, underperforming the benchmark.

How did the Fund perform last year and what affected its performance?
For the 12-month period ended June 30, 2024, the Fund outperformed its benchmark, the S&P 500 Index.
The largest market capitalization companies continue to dominate investors’ interest and have led the returns in the marketplace. Fund holdings Microsoft and Apple each surpassed a $3 trillion market valuation, a feat unimaginable just a few years ago. Within the larger capitalization category, growth stocks have significantly outperformed value stocks.
WHAT FACTORS INFLUENCED PERFORMANCE
Security selection had a larger effect on the portfolio than sector allocation. The outperformance of the Fund was driven by Communication Services, Consumer Discretionary and Industrials sectors. These sectors had a significantly higher return than the sectors in the Index. Within these sectors, Alphabet, Meta Platforms, Amazon, GE Aerospace and United Rentals were top contributors to the Fund’s return. Interestingly, the Information Technology sector was the Fund’s second biggest contributor to return but the largest detractor as compared to the Index. The sector in the Fund had a lower weighting and lower return than the Index.
The sector weightings did not change meaningfully during the twelve-month period. We focus on individual company selection and seek to incorporate a reasonable balance of sector exposure as part of our risk management process. We believe that companies in the same sectors can vary as greatly in their business economics and profiles as companies in completely different sectors.
The portfolio return exceeded the S&P 500 Index. Security selection had a larger effect on the portfolio than sector allocation.

How did the Fund perform last year and what affected its performance?
For the 12-month period ended June 30, 2024, the Fund outperformed its benchmark, the S&P 500 Index.
The largest market capitalization companies continue to dominate investors’ interest and have led the returns in the marketplace. Fund holdings Microsoft and Apple each surpassed a $3 trillion market valuation, a feat unimaginable just a few years ago. Within the larger capitalization category, growth stocks have significantly outperformed value stocks.
WHAT FACTORS INFLUENCED PERFORMANCE
Security selection had a larger effect on the portfolio than sector allocation. The outperformance of the Fund was driven by Communication Services, Consumer Discretionary and Industrials sectors. These sectors had a significantly higher return than the sectors in the Index. Within these sectors, Alphabet, Meta Platforms, Amazon, GE Aerospace and United Rentals were top contributors to the Fund’s return. Interestingly, the Information Technology sector was the Fund’s second biggest contributor to return but the largest detractor as compared to the Index. The sector in the Fund had a lower weighting and lower return than the Index.
The sector weightings did not change meaningfully during the twelve-month period. We focus on individual company selection and seek to incorporate a reasonable balance of sector exposure as part of our risk management process. We believe that companies in the same sectors can vary as greatly in their business economics and profiles as companies in completely different sectors.
The portfolio return exceeded the S&P 500 Index. Security selection had a larger effect on the portfolio than sector allocation.

How did the Fund perform last year and what affected its performance?
For the 12-month period ended June 30, 2024, the Fund outperformed its benchmark, the Russell 1000 Index.
WHAT FACTORS INFLUENCED PERFORMANCE
Sector positioning and stock selection positively impacted relative returns against the Russell 1000 Index. The strategy benefited from its overweight in information technology and lack of exposure to consumer staples, outweighing the negative effects of underweighting communication services and overweighting health care. Inclusive of stock selection and interaction, strong performance in information technology, industrials, and consumer discretionary overshadowed underperformance in health care and financials. Semiconductor holdings, such as NVDA, MPWR, CDNS, and KLAC, performed well due to investor enthusiasm for artificial intelligence and demand for data center technologies. The strategy’s sector exposures result from bottom-up stock-picking, not sector preferences or macro inputs.
Adhering to the strategy’s portfolio construction philosophy, we balanced durable and rapid growth companies while ensuring diversification by business model, end market exposure, and growth theme. Trading activity increased slightly, with nine name swaps and strategic position re-sizing trades to optimize the upside potential to downside risk ratio at the security and portfolio levels. These actions are seen as upgrades that position the strategy for future success.
The Fund’s outperformance was driven by strong stock selection, beneficial sector positioning, and favorable exposure to the emerging artificial intelligence megatrend.

| Annual Shareholder Report | June 30, 2024 |

What were the Fund costs for the past year?
(based on a hypothetical $10,000 investment)
| | |
Class Name | Costs of a $10,000 investment | Costs paid as a percentage of a $10,000 investment |
| Institutional Shares | $88 | 0.82% |
How did the Fund perform last year and what affected its performance?
For the 12-month period ended June 30, 2024, the Fund underperformed its benchmark, the Russell 1000 Index.
WHAT FACTORS INFLUENCED PERFORMANCE
The main factor influencing performance is our style and area of focus. Our strategy tends to look for small-capitalization equities that have an opportunity to grow at an above average rate over the long-term. Due to our focus on smaller companies, we do not purchase mid-cap or large-cap stocks. Thus, we never considered some of the most prolific gainers in the large-cap space such as Microsoft, Nvidia, Alphabet and other mega-cap technology names along with a number of the best performers in Healthcare.
Our philosophy harnesses the power of compounding, focusing on “3G” businesses (durable Growth, sound Governance, scalable Go-to-market strategies) that have a higher than average probability of making the journey from small-cap to mid-cap (and perhaps large-cap) than most companies. Since we are more closely aligned with the smaller capitalization universe, we are massively underweight Information Technology and considerably overweight Healthcare.
The 12-month period ending June 30, 2024 was challenging due to our lack of ownership of any of the large-cap stocks that drove the Russell 1000 Index over this period. This produced a massive underweight to strong performing sectors such as Information Technology, Communication Services and Financials.

The 12-month period ending June 30, 2024 was challenging due to our lack of ownership of any of the large-cap stocks that drove the Russell 1000 Index over this period. This produced a massive underweight to strong performing sectors such as Information Technology, Communication Services and Financials.

How did the Fund perform last year and what affected its performance?
For the 12-month period ended June 30, 2024, the Fund underperformed its regulatory benchmark, the Russell 1000 Index.
WHAT FACTORS INFLUENCED PERFORMANCE
Positive contribution to Fund performance was mainly driven by the consumer discretionary sector while the communication services sector was the biggest detractor. The largest individual contributor to performance was Modine Manufacturing Company (MOD) and the largest individual detractor to performance was Cable One, Inc. (CABO).
We were active during the period and invested in 16 new companies and exited from 15 companies. Most of the activity during the 12-month period was within the financials sector. A notable addition to the financials sector in the second quarter of 2024 was Old National Bancorp (ONB). ONB is a high-performing bank that operates across the Midwest and the Southeast. We believe the company’s stock is undervalued – trading below nine times next year’s earnings.
The Fund posted positive returns and underperformed its regulatory benchmark, the Russell 1000 Index, during the period.

How did the Fund perform last year and what affected its performance?
For the 12-month period ended June 30, 2024, the Fund underperformed its regulatory benchmark, the Russell 1000 Index.
WHAT FACTORS INFLUENCED PERFORMANCE
Positive contribution to Fund performance was primarily driven by stock selection in the industrials sector, while communication services sector was the biggest detractor. The largest individual contributor to performance was SPX Technologies (SPXC) and the largest individual detractor to performance was Cable One, Inc. (CABO).
We were active during the 12-month period and invested in 16 new companies and exited from 17 companies. Activity was broad based across sectors, but most heavily focused within the industrials, financials, and health care sectors. A notable addition to the industrials sector during the period was Kadant, a manufacturer of equipment for process industries. The company’s solutions have long focused on helping customers reduce waste and generate more yield with fewer inputs, particularly fiber, energy, and water. We believe Kadant should be able to continue to grow due to its exposure to many sustainability-linked secular drivers, such as the shift towards recycled and renewable materials, and waste reduction trends.
Small cap indices faced unprecedented underperformance relative to large cap indices during the 12-month period, resulting in the fund underperforming compared to its regulatory benchmark the Russell 1000 Index.

How did the Fund perform last year and what affected its performance?
For the 12-month period ended June 30, 2024, the Fund underperformed its regulatory benchmark, the Russell 1000 Index.
WHAT FACTORS INFLUENCED PERFORMANCE
Positive contribution to Fund performance was primarily driven by stock selection in the industrials sector, while communication services sector was the biggest detractor. The largest individual contributor to performance was SPX Technologies (SPXC) and the largest individual detractor to performance was Cable One, Inc. (CABO).
We were active during the 12-month period and invested in 16 new companies and exited from 17 companies. Activity was broad based across sectors, but most heavily focused within the industrials, financials, and health care sectors. A notable addition to the industrials sector during the period was Kadant, a manufacturer of equipment for process industries. The company’s solutions have long focused on helping customers reduce waste and generate more yield with fewer inputs, particularly fiber, energy, and water. We believe Kadant should be able to continue to grow due to its exposure to many sustainability-linked secular drivers, such as the shift towards recycled and renewable materials, and waste reduction trends.
Small cap indices faced unprecedented underperformance relative to large cap indices during the 12-month period, resulting in the fund underperforming compared to its regulatory benchmark the Russell 1000 Index.

How did the Fund perform last year and what affected its performance?
For the 12-month period ended June 30, 2024, the Fund underperformed its benchmark, the Russell 1000 Index.
WHAT FACTORS INFLUENCED PERFORMANCE
Performance was driven primarily by Utilities, Industrials, Financials, and Materials. Technology performed the well in absolute terms but was a detractor given our underweight position relative to the benchmark. Health Care was also a detractor to performance during the time period as our exposure to managed care and healthcare equipment underperformed other areas of health care like biotechnology. We were pleased to see that the majority of our performance was driven by stock selection as opposed to sector allocation.
We look for high quality businesses that generate consistent high levels of free cash flow, possess a Sustainable Free Cash Flow Advantage, exhibit capital discipline and trade at attractive valuations. We believe a portfolio of companies with these characteristics will lead to compelling risk adjusted returns over the long term while providing a margin of safety to investors. Over the lasts year we have increased our exposure to Financials, energy, and materials and reduced our exposure to consumer discretionary and communication services.
The Fund posted positive absolute returns during the period as the markets recovered from the regional banking crisis during the spring of 2023.

How did the Fund perform last year and what affected its performance?
For the 12-month period ended June 30, 2024, the Fund underperformed its benchmark, the MSCI All Country World Index (ACWI).
WHAT FACTORS INFLUENCED PERFORMANCE
Underperformance was driven primarily by financials, particularly emerging markets financials. Technology performed the best in absolute terms and in line with the benchmark while industrials contributed most meaningfully to outperformance. Over the last year we have experienced concerns over the merger between HDFC Bank and HDFC Ltd., changes to subsidies of microloans at Bank Rakyat in Indonesia and ongoing concerns over growth in China at AIA Group. We believe these are all temporary issues. Aerospace leaders GE Aerospace and Safran were the largest positive contributors within industrials. Both companies benefit from a favorable period of strong performance, continued recovery of flight activity post-Covid and limited investment requirements.
The Fund’s largest exposures were to Financials and Technology with no exposure to Utilities, Real Estate or Energy. The largest geographic exposure was to the U.S. During the year we added Zoetis and AutoZone and exited Otis and GE Vernova.
The portfolio delivered strong absolute performance throughout the reporting period, underperforming the benchmark. We believe the strategy is well positioned to benefit from our differentiated positioning in some of the leading technology franchises globally and further invest in a portfolio of diversified business models across sectors and regions.

How did the Fund perform last year and what affected its performance?
For the 12-month period ended June 30, 2024, the Fund underperformed its benchmark, the MSCI ACWI ex USA Index.
WHAT FACTORS INFLUENCED PERFORMANCE
Underperformance was driven primarily by financials, particularly emerging markets financials. Technology performed the best in absolute terms albeit trailing the benchmark. Industrials, the largest portfolio exposure contributed positively to relative performance. Over the last year we have experienced concerns over the merger between HDFC Bank and HDFC Ltd., changes to subsidies of microloans at Bank Rakyat in Indonesia and ongoing concerns over growth in China at AIA Group. We view the concerns around these businesses as temporary and have taken advantage of share price weakness to increase the position size of our holdings.
We look for competitively advantaged businesses that earn high returns on invested capital (ROIC), are run by capable management teams, are attractively valuedand have the ability to generate attractive through-the-cycle shareholder returns. The largest geographic exposure was to Europe while the Fund was underweight Japan. During the year we added Shimano, Diageo ConvaTec Group, Canadian National Railway and Airbus. We exited Adyen, Grupo Aeroportuario del Pacifico, Unilever and Sika. Sector and country diversification is an output of stock picking,
The portfolio delivered absolute performance during the reporting period, underperforming the benchmark.

How did the Fund perform last year and what affected its performance?
For the 12-month period ending June 30, 2024, the Fund outperformed its regulatory benchmark, the Bloomberg U.S. Aggregate Bond Index.
WHAT FACTORS INFLUENCED PERFORMANCE
The Fund benefited from not owning Treasuries longer than ten years, as interest rates moved markedly higher, especially in bonds maturing twenty years and longer. Higher rates pressured mortgage-backed bonds due to duration extension. The Fund had strong security selection in corporate bonds and a mild overweight. Asset-backed bonds also contributed positively due to their attractive yields and short average maturities, benefiting from the inverted yield curve.
We tactically added duration in the portfolio during the first half of the period but later lowered duration as interest rates moved higher in the face of ongoing elevated inflation data. In addition, the Fund moved to a mild overweight allocation to corporate bonds based on elevated yields and ongoing strong corporate fundamentals. We also moved to a mildly overweight position in agency-backed mortgage bonds as interest volatility began to subside and spreads remain elevated.
The Fund posted positive returns for the reported period based in part on strong corporate bond performance as corporate fundamentals remained strong and credit spread tightened markedly over the period and to a lesser degree exposure to asset-backed bonds with shorter average maturity profiles that had elevated yields as the Federal Reserve’s policy continued to result in an inverted yield curve.

How did the Fund perform last year and what affected its performance?
For the 12-month period ended June 30, 2024, the Fund underperformed its benchmark, the Bloomberg U.S. Aggregate Bond Index.
WHAT FACTORS INFLUENCED PERFORMANCE
Exposure to intermediate maturity Treasuries weighed on the Fund’s performance as the market priced out an aggressive monetary easing cycle as inflation data turned higher after a period of sustained declines. Exposure to mortgage-backed bonds also detracted from performance as these bonds experienced duration extension as interest rates rose. Positive contributors to relative performance were led by strong security selection in corporate bonds and the mild overweight held over the period. Asset-backed bonds also positively contributed to performance due to their attractive yields and short average maturities which benefited from the inverted yield curve.
We tactically added duration in the portfolio during the first half of the period but moved back to a neutral position as interest rates moved higher in the face of ongoing elevated inflation data. In addition, the Fund moved to an overweight allocation to corporate bonds and agency MBS based on elevated yields and ongoing strong fundamentals.
The Fund underperformed for the reported period. The Fund’s mild overweight to mortgages was a detractor, this was partially offset by strong corporate bond performance as fundamentals remained strong and credit spread tightened markedly over the period and to a lesser degree exposure to asset-backed bonds with shorter average maturity profiles that had elevated yields as the Federal Reserve’s policy continued to result in an inverted yield curve.

How did the Fund perform last year and what affected its performance?
For the 12-month period ended June 30, 2024, the Fund underperformed its benchmark, the Bloomberg U.S. Aggregate Bond Index.
WHAT FACTORS INFLUENCED PERFORMANCE
Exposure to intermediate maturity Treasuries weighed on the Fund’s performance as the market priced out an aggressive monetary easing cycle as inflation data turned higher after a period of sustained declines. Exposure to mortgage-backed bonds also detracted from performance as these bonds experienced duration extension as interest rates rose. Positive contributors to relative performance were led by strong security selection in corporate bonds and the mild overweight held over the period. Asset-backed bonds also positively contributed to performance due to their attractive yields and short average maturities which benefited from the inverted yield curve.
We tactically added duration in the portfolio during the first half of the period but moved back to a neutral position as interest rates moved higher in the face of ongoing elevated inflation data. In addition, the Fund moved to an overweight allocation to corporate bonds and agency MBS based on elevated yields and ongoing strong fundamentals.
The Fund underperformed for the reported period. The Fund’s mild overweight to mortgages was a detractor, this was partially offset by strong corporate bond performance as fundamentals remained strong and credit spread tightened markedly over the period and to a lesser degree exposure to asset-backed bonds with shorter average maturity profiles that had elevated yields as the Federal Reserve’s policy continued to result in an inverted yield curve.

How did the Fund perform last year and what affected its performance?
For the 12-month period ended June 30, 2024, the Fund outperformed its regulatory benchmark, the Bloomberg Municipal Bond Index.
WHAT FACTORS INFLUENCED PERFORMANCE
Positive contributions to relative performance were led by active yield curve positioning and individual security selection, during a period of elevated interest rate volatility. The municipal yield curve became severely inverted over the past year, with intermediate-maturity bonds yielding dramatically less than both short-term and longer-term bonds. These dynamics led us to actively position the portfolio in a duration barbell, which benefitted relative and absolute returns as the curve began to normalize by mid-2024. Bond selection was also additive to performance as many of our active sector and individual credit overweights outperformed the broad market.
We tactically added to a duration barbell with a dramatic overweight to ultra-short duration bonds, and large weightings to longer duration bonds. We maintained an overweight in revenue-backed municipal sectors and added tactically to Prepaid Gas, Airports, and Tax Revenue, while trimming our positions in Higher Education and Healthcare.
The Fund outperformed its benchmark in a volatile market. Much of our outperformance was driven by downside protection, particularly during the second half of 2023 as interest rates rose sharply. This performance was further bolstered by solid credit selection and active duration management for the entire period.

How did the Fund perform last year and what affected its performance?
For the 12-month period ended June 30, 2024, the Fund underperformed its regulatory benchmark, the Bloomberg U.S. Aggregate Bond Index.
WHAT FACTORS INFLUENCED PERFORMANCE
The rate environment over the past 12 months continued to be extraordinarily volatile and was a dominant driver of mortgage market returns. The Fund’s positioning along the coupon stack and a higher overall allocation to agency MBS basis detracted from overall performance relative to the benchmark. Exposure to securitized credit benefited performance over the period as spreads generally tightened over the year. Our security selection within the MBS sector also contributed positively to performance.
We added to MBS basis over the past year as we believe that agency-backed mortgages continue to offer compelling value relative to riskier assets. We also added to high quality, short ABS which complement the mortgage exposure of the fund. We maintain a slight duration overweight, but continue to hold a relatively neutral duration stance as we prefer to add risk through our bottom-up selection and allocation decisions given the uncertainty of the current interest rate environment and reliance on near-term central bank policy decisions and posture.
The Fund posted positive returns as moderating rate volatility and tighter spreads were offset by higher yields across most of the curve. While the fund generally outperformed its benchmark in weaker market periods with elevated market volatility, it lagged during times of strong market momentum due to our conservative positioning over the period.
How did the Fund perform over the past 10 years?*

How did the Fund perform last year and what affected its performance?
For the 12-month period ended June 30, 2024, the Fund outperformed its benchmark, the MSCI Europe Index.
WHAT FACTORS INFLUENCED PERFORMANCE
Strong security selection was the key driver of relative outperformance. Particularly, the positive stock selection results in Industrials, Communication Services, and Consumer Staples contributed to relative returns. Weaker stock selection in Information Technology somewhat detracted from performance. Sector allocation, a result of our bottom-up stock selection process, also added to relative returns. Positive allocation effects driven by our overweight in Industrials and underweight in Consumer Discretionary was partially offset by our underweight position in Information Technology. At the issuer level, our top two relative contributors were our overweight position in Rheinmetall AG and UCB SA, while our top two relative detractors were not holding Novo Nordisk and our overweight position in Prudential PLC.
We remain overweight in Industrials and Consumer Staples as we continue to find a lot of good investment ideas within this sector that fit our investment process and philosophy. We remain underweight Health Care and Information Technology as a result of our bottom-up stock selection process, as we struggle to find attractive ideas in these sectors that fit our investment criteria, with some companies (e.g. ASML and Novo Nordisk) trading at elevated valuation levels relative to their fundamentals in our view.
The Fund posted positive returns for the reported period driven by positive bottom-up stock selection and positive allocation effects.

How did the Fund perform last year and what affected its performance?
For the 12-month period ended June 30, 2024, the Fund outperformed its benchmark, the MSCI Emerging Markets Index.
WHAT FACTORS INFLUENCED PERFORMANCE
Stock selection was the primary driver of outperformance. The biggest contributors to relative performance were the Fund’s holdings in the information technology, real estate, and consumer discretionary sectors. Holdings within the industrial and consumer sectors in Korea and China detracted from relative performance.
The Fund’s sub-advisers reacted differently to the opportunity set presented to them. Pzena’s valuation-sensitive approach led them to trim strongly performing technology exposure in Taiwan while increasing the Fund’s exposure to China and Hong Kong. Wellington increased exposure to India, Taiwan, and South Korea, while rotating capital away from China and Hong Kong. The Fund’s biggest geographic overweight is Singapore, while its biggest underweight is Africa and the Middle East. Over the period, the Fund’s combined China and Hong Kong overweight shrunk from 7.9% to 1.7% relative to the benchmark. The Fund’s biggest sector overweight was real estate while the biggest underweight was energy.
The Fund posted positive returns for the period. A positive economic backdrop in India drove strong results for that market while Taiwan and South Korea benefitted from robust spending on technology hardware related to AI. This offset macroeconomic concerns in China and Brazil.

How did the Fund perform last year and what affected its performance?
For the 12-month period ended June 30, 2024, the Fund underperformed its benchmark, the Russell 1000 Index.
WHAT FACTORS INFLUENCED PERFORMANCE
Relative underperformance was driven by stock selection in the Communications Services and Consumer Discretionary sectors, as well as an underweight in the outperforming Information Technology sector. The main contributor to relative performance during the period was stock selection in the Industrials sector.
During the period, we exited from positions in WK Kellogg Co. and Parker-Hannifin Corp.
The Fund posted positive returns during the period as markets responded positively to different themes, including the continued strength of the U.S. economy; expectations for AI’s expansion; as well as rate cuts on the horizon from the U.S. Federal Reserve.

How did the Fund perform last year and what affected its performance?
For the 12-month period ended June 30, 2024, the Fund underperformed its benchmark, the Russell 1000 Index.
WHAT FACTORS INFLUENCED PERFORMANCE
Relative underperformance was driven by stock selection in the Communications Services and Consumer Discretionary sectors, as well as an underweight in the outperforming Information Technology sector. The main contributor to relative performance during the period was stock selection in the Industrials sector.
During the period, we exited from positions in WK Kellogg Co. and Parker-Hannifin Corp.
The Fund posted positive returns during the period as markets responded positively to different themes, including the continued strength of the U.S. economy; expectations for AI’s expansion; as well as rate cuts on the horizon from the U.S. Federal Reserve.

There were no “Other services” provided by the principal accountant. The following table details the aggregate fees billed or expected to be billed for each of the last two fiscal years for audit fees, audit-related fees, tax fees and other fees by the principal accountant.

Note 2. Significant Accounting Policies
The following is a summary of significant accounting policies consistently followed by the Funds. These policies are in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”). The Funds are investment companies and follow the investment company accounting and reporting guidance of the Financial Accounting Standards Board Accounting Standards Codification Topic 946 Financial Services – Investment Companies, which is part of U.S. GAAP.
A. Security Valuation – The Funds have adopted pricing and valuation procedures pursuant to Rule 2a-5 under the 1940 Act. Under these procedures, the Adviser serves as the Funds Valuation Designee. The Valuation Designee performs all fair value determinations along with all other responsibilities in accordance with Rule 2a-5. As Valuation Designee, the Adviser is authorized to make all necessary determinations of fair values of portfolio securities and other assets for which market quotations are not readily available or if it is deemed that the prices obtained from independent pricing services are inaccurate or unreliable.
The Funds have adopted US GAAP fair value accounting standards which establish an authoritative definition of fair value and set out a hierarchy for measuring fair value. These standards require additional disclosures about the various inputs and valuation techniques used to develop the measurements of fair value and a discussion of changes in valuation techniques and related inputs, if any, during the period. These inputs are summarized in the three broad levels listed below:
Level 1 –
| Quoted prices in active markets for identical securities. |
Level 2 –
| Evaluated price based on other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment spreads, credit risk, etc). |
TABLE OF CONTENTS
Notes to Financial Statements
June 30, 2024(Continued)
Level 3 –
| Significant unobservable inputs (including the Fund’s own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments). |
The inputs or methodology used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities.
Domestic Equity Securities – Domestic equity securities that are traded on a national securities exchange, except those listed on the NASDAQ Global Market® (“NASDAQ”), are valued at the last reported sale price on the exchange on which the security is principally traded. Securities traded on NASDAQ will be valued at the NASDAQ Official Closing Price (“NOCP”). If, on a particular day, an exchange-traded or NASDAQ security does not trade, then the mean between the most recent quoted bid and asked prices will be used. All equity securities that are not traded on a listed exchange are valued at the last sale price in the over- the counter market. If a non-exchange traded security does not trade on a particular day, then the mean between the last quoted closing bid and asked price will be used. Such domestic equity securities are typically categorized as Level 1 securities. Investments in other domestic open-ended mutual funds are valued at their reported Net Asset Value (“NAV”) and are typically categorized as Level 1 securities. Investments in Exchange Traded Funds (“ETFs”) and Closed-End Funds are valued at their last reported sale price and are typically categorized as Level 1 securities.
Foreign Equity Securities – For foreign equity securities that are traded on foreign exchanges, the Funds have selected ICE Data Services (“ICE”) to provide pricing data. The use of ICE’s pricing services with respect to these foreign exchange traded securities is designed to capture events occurring after a foreign exchange closes that may affect the value of certain holdings of the Funds that are traded on those foreign exchanges. The Funds utilize a confidence interval when determining whether or not to utilize these prices provided by ICE. The confidence interval is a measure of the relationship that each foreign exchange traded security has to movements in various indices and the price of the foreign exchange traded security’s corresponding American Depositary Receipt, if one exists. ICE provides a confidence interval for each foreign exchange traded security for which it provides a price. If the confidence interval provided by ICE is equal to or greater than a predefined level utilized by the Funds, the Funds will value that foreign exchange traded security at that price. If the confidence interval provided by ICE is less than the predefined level utilized by the Funds, the Funds will value that foreign exchange traded security at the preceding closing price on its respective foreign exchange, or, if there were no transactions on the preceding day, at the mean between the bid and the asked prices. Such foreign securities are typically categorized as Level 2 securities. Foreign securities for which the local market closing prices are utilized are typically categorized as Level 1 securities.
Debt Securities – Debt securities are valued by using the mean between the closing bid and asked prices provided by an independent pricing service. If the closing bid and asked prices are not readily available, the independent pricing service may provide a price determined by a matrix pricing method. These techniques generally consider such factors as yields or prices of bonds of comparable quality, type of issue, coupon, maturity, ratings and general market conditions. Fixed income debt instruments, such as commercial paper, banker’s acceptances and U.S. Treasury Bills, having a maturity of less than 60 days are valued at amortized cost when the amortized cost value is determined to approximate fair value established using market-based and issuer-specific factors. Such debt securities are typically categorized as Level 2.
Exchange Traded Options – Exchange traded options are valued at the composite price, using the National Best Bid and Offer quotes (NBBO). NBBO consists of the highest bid price and lowest ask price across any of the exchanges on which an option is quoted, thus providing a view across the entire U.S. options marketplace. Specifically, composite pricing calculates the mean of the highest bid price and lowest ask price across the exchanges where the option is traded. Such options are typically categorized as Level 2.
Futures Contracts – Futures contracts are generally valued at the settlement prices established each day on the exchange on which they are traded and are categorized as Level 1 securities.
Forward Foreign Currency Contracts – Forward foreign currency contracts are valued at the prevailing forward exchange rates of the underlying currencies and are categorized as Level 2 securities.
Securities for which quotations are not readily available, or for which quotations are deemed to be inaccurate or unreliable, are valued at their respective fair values as determined in good faith under guidelines and procedures adopted by the Board of Trustees. These are generally considered Level 3 securities when significant unobservable

inputs are utilized in the determination of the fair value. When a security is “fair valued,” consideration is given to the facts and circumstances relevant to the particular situation, including a review of various factors set forth in the guidelines and procedures adopted by the Board of Trustees. Fair value pricing is an inherently subjective process, and no single standard exists for determining fair value. Different funds could reasonably arrive at different values for the same security. The use of fair value pricing by a fund may cause the net asset value of its shares to differ significantly from the net asset value that would be calculated without regard to such considerations. As of the date of this report, the Small-Cap Growth Fund and Emerging Markets Select Fund held Level 3 securities for which significant and unobservable inputs or assumptions were used in the determination of fair value. The total value of such securities held as of the date of this report was $1,119,657 or 0.1% of Small-Cap Growth Fund’s net assets and $1,848 or 0.0% of Emerging Market Select Fund’s net assets. The following is a summary of inputs used to value the Funds’ investments as of June 30, 2024:

| A reconciliation of Level 3 investments is presented when the Fund has a significant amount of Level 3 investments at the beginning and/or end of the period in relation to net assets. |
B. Securities Transactions and Investment Income – Investment securities transactions are accounted for on trade date. Discounts/premiums on debt securities purchased are accreted/amortized to contractual maturity, estimated maturity, or next call date, as applicable. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date. Interest income is recorded on an accrual basis. Income and capital gains on some foreign securities may be subject to foreign withholding or capital gains taxes. Identified cost of investments sold is used to determine the gain and loss for both financial statement and Federal income tax purposes. Distributions deemed to be a return of capital are recorded as a reduction of the cost of the related investments or as realized capital gains when there is no remaining cost basis on the investments.
C. Expenses and Share Class Allocations – Expenses directly attributable to a Fund are charged to that Fund. Expenses attributable to more than one Fund are allocated to the respective Funds on the basis of relative net assets or other appropriate methods. In Funds with multiple share classes, each share class has equal rights to earnings and assets except that each share class bears different shareholder servicing and/or Rule 12b-1 distribution expenses. Each share class has exclusive voting rights with respect to matters that affect just that share class. Income, expenses (other than expenses attributable to a specific share class), and realized and unrealized capital gains or losses on investments are allocated to each share class on the basis of relative net assets.

D.Foreign Currency – Investment securities and other assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. Dollar amounts at the date of valuation. Purchases and sales of investment securities and income and expense items denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. Dollar amounts on the respective dates of such transactions.
The Funds do not isolate the portion of the results of operations resulting from changes in foreign exchange rates on investments from the fluctuations arising from changes in market prices of securities held. Such fluctuations are included with the net realized and unrealized gain or loss from investments. Some of the Funds may invest in forward foreign currency contracts. These amounts are presented separately from realized and unrealized gains and losses from investments in the financial statements.
E. Options – The Funds may invest in options. When a Fund writes an option, an amount equal to the premium received by a Fund is recorded as a liability and is subsequently adjusted to the current value of the option written. Premiums received from writing options that expire unexercised are treated by a Fund on the expiration date as realized gain from investments. The difference between the premium and the amount paid on effecting a closing purchase transaction, including brokerage commissions, is also treated as a realized gain, or if the premium is less than the amount paid for closing purchase transaction, as a realized loss. If a call option is exercised, the premium is added to the proceeds from the sale of the underlying security or currency determining whether a Fund has a realized gain or loss. If a put option is exercised, the premium reduces the cost basis of the securities purchase by a Fund. A Fund, as a writer of an option, bears the market risk of an unfavorable change in the price of the security underlying the written option.
When a Fund purchases an option, an amount equal to the premium paid by a Fund is recorded as an investment and is subsequently adjusted to the current value of the option purchased. If an option expires on the stipulated expiration date or if a Fund enters into a closing sale transaction, a gain or loss is realized. If a call option is exercised, the cost of the security acquired is increased by the premium paid for the call. If a put option is exercised, a gain or loss is realized from the sale of the underlying security, and the proceeds from such sale are decreased by the premium originally paid. Written and purchased options are non- income producing securities. None of the Funds purchased, sold or wrote any options during the year ended June 30, 2024.
F. To-Be-Announced Securities – Some of the Funds may invest in to-be-announced securities (“TBAs”). TBAs is a term that is generally used to describe forward-settling mortgage-backed securities. These TBAs are generally issued by U.S. Government Agencies or U.S. Government Sponsored Entities such as Freddie Mac, Fannie Mae and Ginnie Mae. The actual mortgage-backed security that will be delivered to the buyer at the time TBAs trades are entered into is not known, however, the terms of the acceptable pools of loans that will comprise the mortgage-backed security are determined at the time the trade is entered into (coupon rate, maturity, credit quality, etc.). Investment in TBAs will generally increase a Fund’s exposure to interest rate risk and could also expose a Fund to counterparty default risk. In order to mitigate counterparty default risk, the Funds only enter into TBAs with counterparties for which the risk of default is determined to be remote. As a purchaser or seller of TBAs, the Funds segregate cash or cash equivalents as collateral as required in accordance with applicable industry regulations.
G. Tender Option Bonds – Maryland Bond Fund, Tax-Exempt Bond Fund and Tax-Exempt Sustainable Bond Fund may engage in tender option bond (“TOB”) transactions up to 5% of its net assets which are accounted for by the funds as a secured borrowing. In a typical TOB transaction, a Fund or another party deposits fixed-rate municipal bonds or other securities into a special purposes entity, referred to as a tender option bond trust (a “TOB Trust”). The TOB Trust generally issues short-term floating rate interests (“Floaters”), which are generally sold to third party investors (often money market funds) and residual interests (“Residual Interests”), which are generally held by the Fund or party that contributed the securities to the TOB Trust. The interest rates payable on the Residual Interests bear an inverse relationship to the interest rate on the Floaters. The interest rate on the Floaters is reset by a remarketing process typically every 7 to 35 days. After income is paid on the Floaters at current, short- term rates, the residual income from the underlying bond held by the TOB Trust goes to the Residual Interests. If a Fund is the depositor of the municipal bonds or other securities to the TOB Trust, the Fund will receive the proceeds from the TOB Trust’s sale of the Floaters, less certain transaction costs. These proceeds may be used by the Fund to invest in other securities, which would have a leveraging effect on the Fund.
Residual Interests may be more volatile and less liquid than other municipal bonds of comparable maturity. In most circumstances, the holder of the Residual Interests bears substantially all of the underlying bond’s downside investment

risk and also benefits from any appreciation in the value of the underlying bond. Investments in Residual Interests typically will involve greater risk than investments in the underlying municipal bond, including the risk of loss of principal. Because changes in the interest rate on the Floaters inversely affect the residual interest paid on the Residual Interests, the value of the Residual Interests is generally more volatile than that of a fixed-rate municipal bond. Floaters and Residual Interests are subject to interest rate adjustment formulas which generally reduce or, in the extreme, eliminate the interest received by the Residual Interests when short-term interest rates rise, and increase the interest received when short-term interest rates fall.
The Residual Interests held by a Fund provide the Fund with the right to: (1) cause the holders of the Floaters to tender their notes at par, and (2) cause the sale of the underlying bond held by the TOB Trust, thereby collapsing the TOB Trust. A Fund may invest in a TOB Trust on either a non-recourse and recourse basis. Each Fund does not currently intend to invest in a TOB Trust on a recourse basis, although each Fund reserves the right to do so in the future. TOB Trusts are typically supported by a liquidity facility provided by a third-party bank or other financial institution (the “Liquidity Provider”) that allows the holders of the Floaters to tender their Floaters in exchange for payment of par plus accrued interest on any business day (subject to the non- occurrence of a TOTE, as such term is defined below). Depending on the structure of the TOB Trust, the Liquidity Provider may purchase the tendered Floaters, or the TOB Trust may draw upon a loan from the Liquidity Provider to purchase the tendered Floaters.
The TOB Trust may also be collapsed without the consent of a Fund, as the holder of the Residual Interest, upon the occurrence of certain “tender option termination events” (or “TOTEs”) as defined in the TOB Trust agreements. Such termination events typically include the bankruptcy or default of the municipal bond, a substantial downgrade in credit quality of the municipal bond, or a judgment or ruling that interest on the underlying municipal bond is subject to federal income taxation. Upon the occurrence of a TOTE, the TOB Trust would generally be liquidated in full with the proceeds typically applied first to any accrued fees owed to the trustee, remarketing agent and liquidity provider, and then to the holders of the Floaters up to par plus accrued interest owed on the Floaters and a portion of gain share, if any, with the balance paid out to the holder of the Residual Interests. In the case of a mandatory termination event, as defined in the TOB Trust agreements, after the payment of fees, the holders of the Floaters would be paid before the holders of the Residual Interests (i.e., the Fund). In contrast, in the case of a TOTE, after payment of fees, the holders of the Floaters and the holders of the Residual Interests would be paid pro rata in proportion to the respective face values of their certificates.
Under GAAP, securities of a Fund that are deposited into a TOB Trust continue to be treated as investments of the Fund and are presented on the Fund’s Schedule of Investments and outstanding Floaters issued by a TOB Trust are presented as “Floating rate note obligations, interest and fees” in the liabilities section of the Fund’s Statement of Assets and Liabilities and also includes interest and fees associated with the floating rate obligations. Interest income from the underlying security is recorded by the Fund on an accrual basis and included as part of “Interest Income” on the Statements of Operations. Interest expense and other fees incurred on the Floaters is included on the Statement of Operations as “Interest expense and fees on floating rate note obligations”. During the year ended June 30, 2024, none of the Funds engaged in TOB transactions.
H.Distributions to Shareholders – For Maryland Bond Fund, Tax-Exempt Bond Fund and Tax-Exempt Sustainable Bond Fund, distributions of net investment income, if any, are declared daily and paid monthly. Distributions to shareholders of net investment income, if any, are declared and paid monthly for the Intermediate Income Fund, Sustainable Bond Fund and Mortgage Securities Fund. The remaining Funds declare and pay net investment income, if any, at least annually. Distributions to shareholders of net capital gains, if any, are declared and paid at least annually. Distributions are recorded on the ex-dividend date. If a Fund is involved in a reorganization in which it acquires, or is being acquired by another fund, an additional distribution of net investment income and/or capital gains may be made prior to such reorganization.
I. Use of Estimates – The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amount of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
TABLE OF CONTENTS

J. Federal Taxes – Each Fund has elected to be taxed as a “regulated investment company” and intends to distribute substantially all taxable income to its shareholders and otherwise comply with the provisions of the Internal Revenue Code applicable to regulated investment companies. Therefore, no provision for federal income taxes or excise taxes has been made.
The Funds recognize tax benefits of uncertain tax positions only where the position is “more likely than not” to be sustained assuming examination by tax authorities.
The Funds have analyzed their tax positions and have concluded that no liability for unrecognized tax benefits should be recorded related to uncertain income tax positions taken on returns filed for open tax years (2021-2023) as of June 30, 2024 or are expected to be taken in the Funds’ 2024 tax returns. The Funds identify their major tax jurisdictions as U.S. Federal and Delaware State; however, the Funds are not aware of any tax position for which it is reasonably possible that the total amounts of unrecognized tax benefits will change materially in the next year.
K. Redemption Fees – A shareholder who redeems or exchanges shares of the Funds within fourteen days of purchase will incur a redemption fee of 1.00% of the current net asset value of shares redeemed or exchanged, subject to certain exceptions. The fee is charged for the benefit of the remaining shareholders and will be paid to the Fund to help offset transaction costs. The fee is accounted for as an addition to paid-in capital. Each Fund reserves the right to modify the terms of or terminate the fee at any time.
L. Guarantees and Indemnifications – In the normal course of business, the Funds enter into contracts with service providers that contain general indemnification clauses. 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.
Note 3. Commitments and Other Affiliated Party Transactions

For example, if the Intermediate Income Fund owned $10,000,000 worth of the Mortgage Securities Fund for an entire year, it would waive, on an annual basis, $30,000 in Advisory Fees ($10,000,000 multiplied by 0.30%, the annual Advisory Fee ratio for the Mortgage Securities Fund). For the year ended June 30, 2024, the Intermediate Income Fund waived $44,580 in Advisory Fees per the terms of the Agreement.

U.S GAAP requires that certain components of net assets (presented on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities) be reclassified forpermanent differences between financial reporting and tax reporting. These reclassifications are primarily the result of net operating losses, investments in real estate investment trusts, foreign currency transactions, distribution reclassifications, equalization, and income adjustments to asset-backed security transactions. These reclassifications have no impact on the net assets of the Funds or the Funds’ NAV’s. For the year ended June 30, 2024, the following reclassifications were made:

Growth Equity | | | $291,482,902 | | | $(291,482,902) |

Note 6. Futures Contracts
The Intermediate Income Fund, Sustainable Bond Fund, and Mortgage Securities Fund invested in futures contracts during the year ended June 30, 2024. At the time a Fund purchases or enters into a futures contract, the Fund deposits and maintains as collateral an initial margin with the broker, as required by the terms of the contract. This collateral may consist of cash and/or securities (generally U.S. Treasury Bills). Thereafter, in connection with changes in the value of the futures contracts, the Funds may send or receive collateral to or from the broker. Such amounts are included on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities as “Cash deposit at broker – futures contracts” or “Cash collateral from broker – futures contracts”. Securities pledged as collateral, ifthere are any, are included on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities as part of “Total investments, at value”. These securities are also tickmarked on the Schedules of Investments as being pledged in connection with open futures contracts.
Pursuant to the contract, the Fund agrees to receive from or pay to the broker an amount of cash equal to the fluctuation in the value of the contract. These daily fluctuations are known as variation margin and are recorded by the Fund as unrealized gains or losses on futures contracts. When these futures contracts are closed, realized gains or losses on futures contracts are recorded by the Fund. The realized gains or losses are reported in the Statement of Operations as net realized gains or losses from futures contracts. Depending upon the agreement with the broker, the Funds may or may not settle variation margin daily. The Funds attempt to mitigate counterparty credit risk by only entering into futures contracts with brokers that the Funds believe have the financial resources to honor their obligations and by monitoring the financial stability of these brokers. The “Notional Amount” of futures contracts shown on the Schedule of Investments represents the notional value of the futures contracts on the day they were opened. The “Notional Value” of futures contracts shown on the Schedule of Investments represents the notional value of the futures contracts as of the date of this report. For long futures contracts, an excess of Notional Value over Notional Amount results in unrealized appreciation on the futures contract (and an excess of Notional Amount over Notional Value results in unrealized depreciation on the futures contract). The opposite is true for short futures contracts. For futures contracts denominated in foreign currencies, both the Notional Amount and Notional Value have been translated into U.S. Dollars as of the date of this report. These unrealized appreciation (depreciation) amounts represent the net impact on a Fund’s net assets as a result of open futures contracts as of the date of this report. The use of long futures contracts by the Funds subjects them to a risk of loss in excess of the gross unrealized appreciation and/or gross unrealized depreciation amounts shown on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities and up to the total Notional Amount of the futures contract as shown on the Schedule of Investments. The use of short futures contracts by the Funds subjects them to a risk of loss in excess of the gross unrealized appreciation and/or gross unrealized depreciation amounts shown on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities and, hypothetically, up to an unlimited amount of loss that could exceed the Notional Amount of the futures contracts as shown on the Schedules of Investments.

Notes to Financial Statements
June 30, 2024(Continued)
During the year ended June 30, 2024, investments in futures contracts were as follows:
| | | | | | | |
Intermediate Income | | | Interest Rate | | | $24,830,485 | | | $(8,052,226) |
Sustainable Bond | | | Interest Rate | | | 100,141,527 | | | (46,606,634) |
Mortgage Securities | | | Interest Rate | | | 21,038,583 | | | (13,328,054) |
| | | | | | | | | | |
Investment in long futures contracts increases a Fund’s exposure to interest rate risk, while investment in short futures contracts serves to reduce a Fund’s exposure to interest rate risk. Assets and/or liabilities related to futures contracts were not subject to an arrangement wherein those assets and/or liabilities were, or could have been, settled on a net basis with any other derivative related obligations.

Basis for Opinion
These financial statements are the responsibility of the Funds’ management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Funds’ financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (“PCAOB”) and are required to be independent with respect to the Funds in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB. We have served as the auditor of one or more of the funds in the Trust since 2008.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Funds are not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of the Funds’ internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audits we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Funds’ internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.
Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of June 30, 2024 by correspondence with the custodian and brokers; when replies were not received from brokers, we performed other auditing procedures. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
