Dear Shareholder,
We are pleased to provide the Gallery Trust’s annual report regarding the Mondrian Funds for the fiscal year ending October 31, 2021.
Events over the past twelve months have remained greatly influenced by factors related to the COVID- 19 virus. Global markets performed strongly, continuing their recovery from the prior year’s initial sharp pandemic decline. Markets were significantly supported by continued economic stimulus and improving corp-orate earnings, as well as the approval and subsequent roll-out of multiple COVID vaccines. Geopolitically, the resolution of a tight US presidential election along with the UK and European Union agreeing to a Brexit deal also contributed to positive markets. The Fund family’s commentaries on the following pages will examine these market behaviors in greater detail.
Please also note that Mondrian is celebrating 30 years a firm. This provides an opportunity to remind shareholders of our long-standing competitive advantages as an asset manager:
A successful, Well-Managed Company
Mondrian was initially founded in 1990 and has experienced 30 years of stable, consistent leadership in growing to more than $60 billion in total assets under management.
Independent and Employee-Owned
We are employee owned by a dedicated, focused, and well-resourced team. This supports long term stability and continuity.
A Time-Tested Investment Philosophy and Process
All Mondrian strategies and mutual funds utilize an income-oriented value discipline that has been consistently and successfully applied since our company’s founding.
A Value Approach
All Mondrian Funds focus on long-term, real returns for shareholders. By consis-tently applying our philosophy and process we have historically produced defensive characteristics and low volatility of returns.

Mondrian International Value Equity Fund
(all returns in U.S. dollars)
Twelve months ended October 31, 2021
International equity markets continued to rebound strongly in the past twelve months from the initial sharp pandemic-induced decline. Despite widespread shutdowns and ongoing geopolitical tensions, equities were supported by improving corporate earnings, continued economic stimulus, and the approval and distribution of multiple COVID-19 vaccines, which enabled many economies to substantially re-open in 2021. Economically sensitive sectors outperformed, led by the energy and financials sectors, which were buoyed by an uptick in economic activity from the initial trough in the first half of 2020.
The Fund generated strong absolute returns which exceeded index returns, driven by strong stock selection.
Country allocation to Netherlands and Hong Kong held back relative returns
The positive impact of the underweight position in the relatively weak Australian equity market was more than offset by the overweight position in the relatively weak Hong Kong market and the underweight position in the strong Dutch equity market.
The Dutch market benefitted from its high weighting to the strong IT sector. The Hong Kong market generated the lowest returns, as the region suffered from contagion from the Chinese government’s increasing regulatory crackdowns and concerns over fallout from the Evergrande debt crisis.
Stock selection in the UK, Spain and Japan added to relative returns
In Europe, strong stock selection in the UK and Spain added to relative returns. Banco Santander and Lloyds Bank were supported by rising bond yields and a rebound in economic activity, which supported a fall in impairments.
In Asia-Pacific, strong stock selection in Japan was driven by Fujifilm, the diversified imaging company, which rose 54% as it continued to benefit from its increased focus on healthcare. Increased disclosures about, and investment in, its high growth, high margin bio-pharmaceutical manufacturing business were rewarded by the market. However, stock selection in Hong Kong weighed on relative returns.
Relative returns were supported by the overweight position in the strong energy sector
The overweight position in the strong energy sector and the underweight position in the relatively weak consumer staples sector added to relative returns. The energy sector was the standout performer, rising 80%, as gas prices rose sharply and oil

PORTFOLIO PERFORMANCE REVIEW (continued)
prices rallied back up to 2018 levels due to growing demand from COVID re-openings and continued supply discipline from OPEC+.
Stock selection also added to relative returns, led by strong stock selection in the financials and utilities sectors.
Currency allocation held back relative returns
The positive impact of the overweight position in the strong British pound and was more than offset by the underweight position in the strong Australian dollar and the overweight position in the weak Japanese yen. The British pound was strong after a Brexit deal was eventually reached in December 2020.

PORTFOLIO PERFORMANCE REVIEW
Mondrian Emerging Markets Value Equity Fund
(all returns in U.S. dollars)
Twelve months ended October 31, 2021
The MSCI Emerging Markets index gained 17.0% over the past twelve months ended October 31, 2021 as global stock markets rebounded from the weakness experienced as the COVID-19 pandemic first took hold. Asia underperformed, as weakness in China in the most recent quarter outweighed the strong performance from India, Taiwan and Korea, where a high weighting to the IT sector helped to boost returns over the year. Latin America outperformed, led by a strong rebound from Mexico while political instability contributed to the underperformance of Peru. The EMEA region performed very strongly, up 50.6%, with widespread gains across the region but particularly focused in markets most exposed to rising energy prices such as Russia and Saudi Arabia.
At the sector level, energy and materials performed well as commodity prices rebounded, while the IT sector continued to benefit from strong demand. Meanwhile, the influence of heavyweight Chinese stocks held back the performance of the real estate, communication services and consumer discretionary sectors.
The Fund underperformed the positive return of the MSCI Emerging Markets Index over the last twelve months.
Top-down allocation was the primary detractor from relative returns
Investment performance has been negatively impacted by the Fund’s underweight allocation to the outperformance of EMEA. In particular, the lack of exposure to the heavily energy-linked markets of Saudi Arabia and Russia held back investment performance. While an overweight allocation to the underperforming Chinese market has also been a detractor. These negatives were partially offset by the overweight positioning to the outperforming Taiwanese market.
Sector allocation positive but more than offset by negative stock selection
At the sector level performance was aided by the underweight allocation to the weak consumer discretionary sector as well as relative outperformance from our holdings in the IT sector. However, this was more than offset by the negative impact of underweight allocations to the materials and industrials sectors which have benefitted from a cyclical recovery, along with negative stock selection within the consumer discretionary, financials and communication services sectors.
Stock selection positive; led by China, Taiwan and South Korea
Stock selection in China was positive overall; although the Fund experienced some large headwinds from holdings in life insurer Ping An Insurance, Autohome, Alibaba and Gree Electric over the course of the year, these were offset by very strong performances from China Merchants Bank, LONGi Green Energy and Baidu. Elsewhere in Asia, continued strong demand for semiconductors drove

large gains for the positions in TSMC and ASE Technology in Taiwan and Samsung Electronics in Korea. In India, IT service group HCL Technologies continued to benefit from rising demand as their clients adapt their IT infrastructure to cope with the challenges illuminated by the COVID-19 pandemic. Meanwhile, a falling gold price caused Barrick Gold to underperform, while sharply lower oil prices contributed to poor returns from energy provider Gazprom during our holding period.
Investment Strategy
A long-term approach underpinned by a clear valuation discipline. Amongst undervalued companies, the Fund has a focus on strong companies within their sectors and markets, and those that generate sustainable free cash flow with a healthy balance sheet.
• | Overweight China and Taiwan as we believe both markets have attractive long-term dynamics and a high proportion of robust, world-leading, and stable companies. Underweight India given less attractive valuations. |
• | Underweight in EMEA given unattractive risk adjusted valuations. Zero exposure to Saudi Arabia and Central Eastern Europe, underweight to South Africa |
• | Overweight exposure to IT where attractive valuations should be supported by a combination of strong balance sheets, long term structural growth drivers, and increased penetration of products and services. Overweight financials given many deeply undervalued stock opportunities |
• | Underweight consumer discretionary given high valuations, and in more cyclical areas such as industrials and real estate where risk adjusted valuations mostly remain challenged |

Mondrian International Government Fixed Income Fund
(all returns in U.S. dollars)
Twelve months ended October 31, 2021
The FTSE Non-U.S. Dollar World Government Bond Index was down 4.3% in U.S. dollar unhedged terms over the 12 months to October 31, 2021. The strongest performing markets were Norway (+8.6%) and Mexico (+3.0%). The Norwegian krone was strong, helped by rising commodity prices, which benefited the currency of this oil exporting country. The weakest performing markets were Japan (-8.3%) and Poland (-6.5%). Whilst the Japanese market performed well in local market terms, the Japanese yen was relatively weak over the 12-month period.
The Fund lagged the performance of the benchmark by 0.6% over the 12-month period. The overweight position to Singapore detracted from performance over the 12-month period, as did the underweight to the Canadian dollar. These positions were offset by the overweight to the Norwegian krone and the British pound, and the overweight to the Japanese market.
The Fund maintains exposure to those countries where Prospective Real Yields are highest, such as Malaysia, Singapore and Mexico. We continue to believe that selected currencies are extremely undervalued – particularly the Norwegian krone, the Polish zloty and the Japanese yen. We also deem international currencies to be undervalued versus the U.S. dollar on average, based on our Purchasing Power Parity analysis.

Mondrian U.S. Small Cap Equity Fund
(all returns in U.S. dollars)
Twelve months ended October 31, 2021
The Russell 2000 Index registered strong gains in the twelve months to October 31, 2021, adding 50.8%. Two key events accompanied and probably influenced this outturn. First, Democrats took control of the legislative agenda after President Biden and the Democrats won the respective presidential and congressional elections. Secondly, positive clinical trial data and subsequent regulatory approval for multiple COVID-19 vaccines initiated a so-called reopening rally. The market recorded further monthly gains through June as vaccination rates picked up and restrictions were rolled back. Attention then turned to a long-awaited infrastructure spending bill, as well as signs of inflationary pressures building within the domestic economy. Non-linear progress on the former and bouts of concern over the latter’s persistence resulted in the index struggling for direction.
After placing at the bottom of all sectors in the prior period, Energy considerably outperformed the benchmark and other sectors with a whopping 188.6% return. Emphasis on profitability and cash generation at energy producers has limited supply, pushing oil and gas prices higher as demand continued to recover. Oil price benchmark West Texas Intermediate more than doubled during the period, closing at $83.57. Materials and Communication Services each achieved strong gains, rising 70.2% and 69.9% respectively. Rebounding commodity prices assisted returns within Materials, while the Media and Entertainment sub-sector led Communication Services as normal operations resumed after the pandemic. Utilities, often considered a bond proxy, fared least well as a pickup in yields of longer dated fixed income securities dented its overall attractiveness. Health Care also trailed the broader index, possibly highlighting regulatory uncertainty following the change in administration.
In the context of robust and sustained market strength, the defensively positioned Fund underperformed the Russell 2000 by 6.1%. Positive sector allocation was more than offset by stock selection. Industrials contributed notably to overall underperformance as a result of stock picking, albeit offset in part by the Fund’s overweight exposure. Relative performance was held back by Energy due to stock selection and an underweight position. Health Care contributed positively, both from a sector allocation and bottom-up perspective.

PORTFOLIO PERFORMANCE REVIEW
Mondrian Global Listed Infrastructure Fund
(all returns in U.S. dollars)
Twelve months ended October 31, 2021
Global markets rallied very strongly over the last year. The initial driver was approval of COVID-19 vaccines, which were subsequently rolled-out rapidly in the US and Europe. The political situation was helped by Joe Biden winning a tight presidential election and the UK and EU agreeing a Brexit deal. Crucially, economies were well supported by huge fiscal and monetary stimulus. The MSCI ACWI index returned 37.3%.
The MSCI ACWI Core Infrastructure index trailed the broader index with a return of 24.1% given the more defensive nature of infrastructure companies in a period of recovery and the general rise in bond yields, which can act as a headwind to valuations. The fund outperformed this index thanks to stock selection.
HCA Healthcare, which owns hospitals in the US, was the biggest contributor to return. It has managed well through the pandemic and benefited from strong pricing thanks to high patient acuity and a shift in payor mix away from government, towards commercial. Shares in Veolia Environment, the French water utility, also rose strongly as the company reached an agreement on the takeover of rival Suez, ending an eight-month battle and giving shareholders greater visibility on future earnings. The rally in oil and gas prices meant the fund profited from investments in two pipeline companies: Enbridge and Williams Companies. Power Grid Corporation of India was also a strong contributor to performance, announcing new transmission projects, mostly linked to renewable power, and good results. Indian equities more broadly did well over the last year as COVID-19 was brought under control; emerging market investors reallocating away from a weak Chinese market may also have helped.
Utilities were generally weak relative to the market given their defensive nature and the headwind to valuation of rising bond yields. Pinnacle West, a US electric utility, presented the largest drag to performance. Towards the end of the period the Arizona state regulator cut their allowed return far more significantly than expected. Enel Americas, the Latin American electric utility, saw its shares perform poorly after they announced the results of a partial tender offer. With a larger number of shares tendered than could be bought under the offer, it is likely that selling by those unsuccessful put downward pressure on the share price in subsequent days. Elections in Chile in mid-May, which radically changed the political landscape in the country, are also likely to have weighed on the stock, which is listed in Chile although it has no operations there. Westports, the Malaysia port operator, was another drag on the portfolio’s return. It has been suffering from congestion linked to the global recovery in consumption and has been cautious on guidance for container volumes. Jiangsu Expressway, a toll-road operator in China, was weak in part due to COVID-19 infection outbreaks and resultant road closures.

Mondrian Global Equity Value Fund
(all returns in U.S. dollars)
Twelve months ended October 31, 2021
In the 12 months ending October 2021, global markets rallied strongly as economies made significant progress on reopening from lockdowns. The Fund returned 28.1%, but lagged MSCI AC World Index’s return of 37.3%. The Fund’s defensive positioning impacted relative returns, with growth and cyclical areas of the market outperforming.
Global stocks recorded one of the largest monthly rallies on record in November 2020 as a series of COVID-19 vaccine breakthroughs were reported. Markets received a further boost as Joe Biden won a tight presidential election, reducing near-term political uncertainty. December provided more positive news with the UK and EU agreeing to a Brexit deal, marking the end of months of negotiations, and the US Congress agreeing a $900 billion economic stimulus packaging.
2021 got off to a turbulent start as two Democrats won the Senate runoff election in Georgia. This result provided the Democratic Party a slim technical control of the Senate, giving Joe Biden’s party sway over both houses of Congress. The first quarter ended with President Biden unveiling a new $2 trillion infrastructure and economic recovery package that looks to build on his campaign promise to “build back better”.
Global equities continued to move higher in the second quarter of 2021 and most of the third quarter despite rising concerns about inflation. Markets were supported by a continuation of the global vaccine rollout, strong corporate earnings, improving macroeconomic data, and the Federal Reserve maintaining its dovish stance. Signs that US economic growth might be slowing and building expectations that the Federal Reserve was getting closer to announcing a tapering of its stimulus measures weighed on investor sentiment in September, although this was reversed in October.
Country allocation detracted from performance
Overweight exposure to the Chinese/Hong Kong and Japanese markets and underweight exposure to the US market detracted from returns in the period. These negative effects were partly counterbalanced by the overweight to the French market, and by having no exposure to the Swiss and Australian markets.
Sector allocation had a negative impact on returns
The Fund benefited from its underweight exposure to the consumer discretionary and communications services sectors, which underperformed over the period. However traditionally defensive sectors also lagged, and the portfolio’s overweight

October 31, 2021 (Unaudited) |
PORTFOLIO PERFORMANCE REVIEW (continued)
exposure to attractively valued defensive sectors such as consumer staples, utilities and health care pulled back relative returns.
Stock selection detracted from performance in the period
Strong stock selection was seen in the health care sector, where hospital operator HCA outperformed strongly on a rebound in elective surgeries, and in utilities. This was more than offset by weaker selections in the consumer discretionary and consumer staples sectors. Within consumer discretionary, Alibaba, the largest consumer business in China, continued to be weak in the period as concerns over the Chinese economy and increasing regulation weighed on the stock. Within consumer staples, Japanese drugstore operator Sundrug was weak as sales were held back by ongoing lockdowns in Japan and operating profit margins underwhelmed. On a regional basis, strong stock selection in the US was more than offset by weaker selection in China/Hong Kong, France and Japan.
Currency allocation was a headwind
The Fund’s overweight exposure to the UK sterling and Brazilian real, which offset local market weakness, were positive for performance. These positive effects were outweighed by the overweight to the Japanese yen and the lack of exposure to the Canadian dollar.

* The fund commenced operations on June 30, 2020.
The performance data quoted herein represents past performance and the return and value of an investment in the Fund will fluctuate so that, when redeemed, it may be worth less than its original cost. Past performance is no guarantee of future performance and should not be considered as a representation of the future results of the Fund. The Fund’s performance assumes the reinvestment of dividends and capital gains. Index returns assume reinvestment of dividends and, unlike a fund’s returns, do not reflect any fees or expenses. If such fees and expenses were included in the index returns, the performance would have been lower. Please note that one cannot invest directly in an unmanaged index.
There are no assurances that the Fund will meet its stated objectives. The Fund’s holdings and allocations are subject to change because it is actively managed and should not be considered recommendations to buy individual securities.
Returns shown do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on Fund distributions or the redemption of Fund shares. If the Adviser had not limited certain expenses, the Fund’s total return would have been lower.

Gallery Trust | October 31, 2021 | |
1. | Organization |
Gallery Trust (the “Trust”), is organized as a Delaware statutory trust under an Agreement and Declaration of Trust dated August 25, 2015. The Trust is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the “1940 Act”), as amended, as an open-end investment management company with six funds. The financial statements herein are those of the Mondrian International Value Equity Fund (formerly, Mondrian International Equity Fund) (the “International Fund”), Mondrian Emerging Markets Value Equity Fund (formerly, the Mondrian Emerging Markets Equity Fund) (the “Emerging Markets Fund”) the Mondrian International Government Fixed Income Fund (the “International Government Fixed Income Fund”), the Mondrian U.S. Small Cap Equity Fund (the “U.S. Small Cap Equity Fund”), the Mondrian Global Listed Infrastructure Fund (the “Global Listed Infrastructure Fund”), and the Mondrian Global Equity Value Fund (the “Global Equity Value Fund”) (each a “Fund” and collectively the “Funds”). The International Fund, Emerging Markets Fund, U.S. Small Cap Equity Fund, and Global Listed Infrastructure Fund are classified as diversified, and the Fixed Income Fund and Global Equity Value Fund are classified as “non-diversified” under the 1940 Act. The investment objective of the International Fund is to seek long-term total return by investing at least 80% of its net assets, plus any borrowings for investment purposes, in equity securities. The investment objective of the Emerging Markets Fund is to seek long-term capital appreciation. The investment objective of the Fixed Income Fund is to seek long-term total return consistent with its value-oriented investment approach. The investment objective of the U.S. Small Cap Equity Fund is to seek long-term total return by investing at least 80% of its net assets, plus any borrowings for investment purposes, in equity securities of U.S. small-capitalization companies. The investment objective of the Global Listed Infrastructure Fund is to seek long-term total return by investing at least 80% of its net assets, plus any borrowings for investment purposes, in equity securities of infrastructure companies listed on a domestic or foreign exchange. The investment objective of the Global Equity Value Fund is to seek long-term total return. Mondrian Investment Partners Limited, a limited company organized under the laws of England and Wales in 1990, serves as the Funds’ investment adviser (“Mondrian” or the “Adviser”). The Adviser makes investment decisions for the Funds and reviews, supervises and administers the investment program of the Funds, subject to the supervision of, and policies established by, the Trustees of the Trust.
The International Fund operated as The International Equity Portfolio, a series of Delaware Pooled Trust (the “International Predecessor Fund”), prior to the International Fund’s acquisition of the assets and assumption of the liabilities

Gallery Trust | October 31, 2021 | |
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)
of the International Predecessor Fund (the “Reorganization”) on March 14, 2016 in a tax-free transaction. The International Fund had no operations prior to the Reorganization. The International Predecessor Fund was managed by Delaware Management Company, a series of Delaware Management Business Trust (the “Delaware Predecessor Adviser”), and sub-advised by Mondrian Investment Partners Limited. The International Predecessor Fund had substantially similar investment objectives and strategies as those of the International Fund. The financial statements and financial highlights reflect the financial information of the International Predecessor Fund for periods prior to March 14, 2016.
The Emerging Markets Fund and Fixed Income Fund operated as Laudus Mondrian Emerging Markets Fund (the “Emerging Markets Predecessor Fund”) and Laudus Mondrian International Government Fixed Income Fund (the “Fixed Income Predecessor Fund”) and, together, were a series of Laudus Trust. Each Predecessor Fund was managed by Charles Schwab Investment Management, Inc. (the “Predecessor Adviser”), and sub-advised by Mondrian. Each Fund has the same objective and substantially similar investment strategies as those of its Predecessor Fund. Each Fund acquired the assets and assumed all of the liabilities of its Predecessor Fund (the “Reorganization”) on September 24, 2018 in a tax-free transaction. The Funds had no operations prior to the Reorganization. The financial statements and financial highlights reflect the financial information of the Predecessor Funds for periods prior to September 24, 2018.
Effective October 31, 2018, the Emerging Markets Fund and International Government Fixed Income Fund changed their fiscal year end from March 31 to October 31.
The U.S. Small Cap Equity Fund and Global Listed Infrastructure Fund commenced operations on December 17, 2018.
The Global Equity Value Fund commenced operations on June 30, 2020.
2. | Significant accounting policies |
The following are significant accounting policies, which are consistently followed in the preparation of the financial statements of the Funds. The Funds are investment companies that apply the accounting and reporting guidance issued in Topic 946 by the U.S. Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”).
Use of estimates — The preparation of financial statements, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”), requires
63
Gallery Trust | October 31, 2021 | |
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)
management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the fair value of assets, the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amount of increases and decreases in net assets from operations during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates and such differences could be material.
Valuation of investments — Securities listed on a securities exchange, market or automated quotation system for which quotations are readily available (except for securities traded on NASDAQ), including securities traded over the counter, are valued at the last quoted sale price on an exchange or market (foreign or domestic) on which they are traded on valuation date (or at approximately 4:00 pm ET if a security’s primary exchange is normally open at that time), or, if there is no such reported sale on the valuation date, at the most recent quoted bid price. For securities traded on NASDAQ, the NASDAQ Official Closing Price will be used. If available, debt securities are priced based upon valuations provided by recognized independent, third-party pricing agents. Such values generally reflect the last reported sales price if the security is actively traded. The third-party pricing agents may also value debt securities by employing methodologies that utilize actual market transactions, broker-supplied valuations, or other methodologies designed to identify the market value for such securities. Such methodologies generally consider such factors as security prices, yields, maturities, call features, ratings and developments relating to specific securities in arriving at valuations. Debt securities with remaining maturities of sixty days or less may be valued at their amortized cost, which approximates market value. If such prices are not available or determined to not represent the fair value of the security as of each Fund’s pricing time, the security will be valued at fair value as determined in good faith using methods approved by the Board of Trustees (the “Board”). The prices for foreign securities will be reported in local currency and converted to U.S. dollars using currency exchange rates.
Securities for which market prices are not “readily available” are valued in accordance with fair value procedures established by the Funds’ Board. The Funds’ fair value procedures are implemented through a fair value pricing committee (the “Committee”) designated by the Board. Some of the more common reasons that may necessitate that a security be valued using fair value procedures include: the security’s trading has been halted or suspended; the security has been de-listed from a national exchange; the security’s primary trading market is temporarily closed at a time when
64
Gallery Trust | October 31, 2021 | |
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)
For securities that principally trade on a foreign market or exchange, a significant gap in time can exist between the time of a particular security’s last trade and the time at which the Fund calculates its net asset value. The closing prices of such securities may no longer reflect their market value at the time the Fund calculates net asset value if an event that could materially affect the value of those securities (a “Significant Event”) has occurred between the time of the security’s last close and the time that the Fund calculates net asset value. A Significant Event may relate to a single issuer or to an entire market sector. If the Funds’ Adviser becomes aware of a Significant Event that has occurred with respect to a security or group of securities after the closing of the exchange or market on which the security or securities principally trade, but before the time at which the Fund calculates net asset value, it may request that a Committee meeting be called.
The Funds use Markit Fair Value (“Markit”) as a third party fair valuation vendor. Markit provides a fair value for foreign securities held by the Funds based on certain factors and methodologies (involving, generally, tracking valuation correlations between the U.S. market and each non-U.S. security) applied by Markit in the event that there is a movement in the U.S. market that exceeds a specific threshold that has been established by the Committee. The Committee has also established a “confidence interval” which is used to determine the level of correlation between the value of a foreign security and movements in the U.S. market before a particular security is fair valued when the threshold is exceeded. In the event that the threshold established by the Committee is exceeded on a specific day, the Funds value the non-U.S. securities in their portfolios that exceed the applicable “confidence interval” based upon the fair values provided by Markit. In such event, it is not necessary to hold a Committee meeting. In the event that the Adviser believes that the fair values provided by Markit are not reliable, the Adviser contacts the Funds’ Administrator and requests that a meeting of the Committee be held.
If a local market in which the Funds own securities is closed for one or more days, the Funds shall value all securities held in the corresponding currency based on the fair value prices provided by Markit using the predetermined confidence interval discussed above.

Gallery Trust | October 31, 2021 | |
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)
In accordance with the authoritative guidance on fair value measurements and disclosure under U.S. GAAP, the Funds disclose the fair value of their investments in a hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure the fair value. The objective of a fair value measurement is to determine the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date (an exit price). Accordingly, the fair value hierarchy gives the highest priority to quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3). The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are described below:
Level 1 — Inputs are unadjusted, quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities at the measurement date.
Level 2 — Inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly. Level 2 inputs include quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets, and inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability.
Level 3 — Inputs are unobservable inputs for the asset or liability, and include situations where there is little, if any, market activity for the asset or liability.
Investments are classified within the level of the lowest significant input considered in determining fair value. Investments classified within Level 3 whose fair value measurement considers several inputs may include Level 1 or Level 2 inputs as components of the overall fair value measurement.
Fair value measurement classifications are summarized in the Funds’ Schedule of Investments.
For the year ended October 31, 2021, there have been no significant changes to the Funds’ fair valuation methodology.
Federal income taxes — It is each Fund’s intention to continue to qualify as a regulated investment company for Federal income tax purposes by complying with the appropriate provisions of Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986. Accordingly, no provision for Federal income taxes has been made in the financial statements.
The Funds evaluate tax positions taken or expected to be taken in the course of preparing the Funds’ tax returns to determine whether it is “more-likely-than-not” (i.e., greater than 50-percent) that each tax position
66
Gallery Trust | October 31, 2021 | |
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)
will be sustained upon examination by a taxing authority based on the technical merits of the position. Tax positions not deemed to meet the more-likely-than-not threshold are recorded as a tax benefit or expense in the current year. The Funds did not record any tax provision in the current period. However, management’s conclusions regarding tax positions taken may be subject to review and adjustment at a later date based on factors including, but not limited to, examination by tax authorities (i.e., the last three tax year ends, as applicable), on-going analysis of and changes to tax laws, regulations and interpretations thereof.
As of and during the year ended October 31, 2021, the Funds did not have a liability for any unrecognized tax benefits. The Funds recognize interest and penalties, if any, related to unrecognized tax benefits as income tax expense in the Statement of Operations. During the year ended October 31, 2021, the Funds did not incur any interest or penalties.
Security transactions, dividend and investment income — Security transactions are accounted for on trade date basis for financial reporting purposes. Costs used in determining realized gains and losses on the sale of investment securities are based on the specific identification method. Dividend income is recognized on the ex-dividend date. Interest income is recognized on the accrual basis from settlement date. Purchase discounts and premiums on debt securities are accreted and amortized to maturity and included in interest income. Certain dividends from foreign securities will be recorded as soon as the Funds are informed of the dividend, net of withholding taxes, if such information is obtained subsequent to the ex-dividend date.
Foreign currency translation — The books and records of the Funds are maintained in U.S. dollars. Investment securities and other assets and liabilities denominated in a foreign currency are translated into U.S. dollars on the date of valuation. The Funds do not isolate that portion of realized or unrealized gains and losses resulting from changes in the foreign exchange rate from fluctuations arising from changes in the market prices of the securities. These gains and losses are included in net realized and unrealized gains and losses on investments on the Statement of Operations.
Net realized and unrealized gains and losses on foreign currency transactions represent net foreign exchange gains or losses from foreign currency exchange contracts, disposition of foreign currencies, currency gains or losses realized between trade and settlement dates on securities transactions and the difference between the amount of the investment income and
67
Gallery Trust | October 31, 2021 | |
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)
foreign withholding taxes recorded on the Funds’ books and the U.S. dollar equivalent of the amounts actually received or paid.
Forward Foreign Currency Contracts — The Funds may enter into forward foreign currency contracts as hedges against either specific transactions, fund positions or anticipated fund positions. The Funds may also engage in currency transactions to enhance the Funds’ returns. All commitments are “marked-to-market” daily at the applicable foreign exchange rate, and any resulting unrealized gains or losses are recorded currently. The Funds realize gains and losses at the time forward contracts are closed. Unrealized gains or losses on outstanding positions in forward foreign currency contracts held at the close of the period are recognized as ordinary income or loss for Federal income tax purposes. The Funds could be exposed to risk if the counterparties to the contracts are unable to meet the terms of the contract and from unanticipated movements in the value of a foreign currency relative to the U.S. dollar. Finally, the risk exists that losses could exceed amounts disclosed on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Refer to each Fund’s Schedule of Investments for details regarding open forward foreign currency contracts as of October 31, 2021 if applicable.
For the year ended October 31, 2021, the average balances of forward foreign currency exchange contracts for the International Government Fixed Income Fund were as follows:
Average Monthly Notional Contracts Purchased | $ | (2,549,339 | ) | |
Average Monthly Notional Contracts Sold | 2,438,928 |
To reduce counterparty risk with respect to Over-the-Counter (“OTC”) transactions, the Funds have entered into netting arrangements, established within the Funds’ International Swap and Derivatives Association, Inc. (“ISDA”) master agreements, which allow the Funds to make (or to have an entitlement to receive) a single net payment in the event of default (close-out netting) for outstanding payables and receivables with respect to certain OTC positions in forward foreign currency contracts for each individual counterparty. In addition, the Funds may require that certain counterparties post cash and/or securities in collateral accounts to cover their net payment obligations for those derivative contracts subject to ISDA master agreements. If the counterparty fails to perform under these contracts and agreements, the cash and/or securities will be made available to the Funds.
For financial reporting purposes, the Funds do not offset derivative assets and derivative liabilities that are subject to netting arrangements in the
68
Gallery Trust | October 31, 2021 | |
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)
Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Bankruptcy or insolvency laws of a particular jurisdiction may impose restrictions on or prohibitions against the right of offset in bankruptcy, insolvency or other events.
Collateral terms are contract specific for OTC derivatives. For derivatives traded under an ISDA master agreement, the collateral requirements are typically calculated by netting the mark to market amount of each transaction under such agreement and comparing that amount to the value of any collateral currently pledged by the Funds or the counterparty.
For financial reporting purposes, cash collateral that has been pledged to cover obligations of the Funds, if any, is reported separately on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities as cash pledged as collateral. Non-cash collateral pledged by the Funds, if any, is noted in the Schedule of Investments. Generally, the amount of collateral due from or to a party must exceed a minimum transfer amount threshold before a transfer has to be made. To the extent amounts due to the Funds from their counterparties are not fully collateralized, contractually or otherwise, the Funds bear the risk of loss from counterparty nonperformance.
The following is a summary by counterparty of the market value of OTC financial derivative instruments and collateral (received)/pledged for the International Government Fixed Income Fund as of October 31, 2021:
Counterparty | Gross Assets Recognized in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities | Gross Liabilities Recognized in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities | Net Amount Available to be Offset | Cash Collateral Pledged or (Received) | Net Amount† | |||||||||||||||

† Represents the net receivable/(payable) that would be due from/to the counterparty in the event of default. Exposure from OTC financial derivative instruments can only be netted across transactions governed under the same master agreement with the same legal entity.
Dividends and distributions to shareholders — The International Fund, Emerging Markets Fund, U.S. Small Cap Equity Fund and Global Listed Infrastructure Fund distribute their net investment income at least annually. The Fixed Income Fund distributes its net investment income quarterly. For each Fund, net realized capital gains, if any, are distributed at least annually. All distributions are recorded on ex-dividend date.

Offering Costs — During the year ended October 31, 2020, the Global Equity Value Fund incurred offering costs which were being amortized to expense over a twelve month period. As of October 31, 2021, the offering costs have been fully amortized by the Fund.
Expenses — Expenses that are directly related to the Fund are charged to the Fund. Other operating expenses of the Trust are prorated to the funds based on the number of funds and/or relative daily net assets.
Investments in REITs — Dividend income from Real Estate Investment Trusts (“REIT”) is recorded based on the income included in distributions received from the REIT investments using published REIT reclassifications, including some management estimates when actual amounts are not available. Distributions received in excess of this estimated amount are recorded as a reduction of the cost of investments or reclassified to capital gains. The actual amounts of income, return of capital, and capital gains are determined by each REIT only after its fiscal year-end, and may differ from the estimated amounts.

7. | Federal tax information |
The amount and character of income and capital gain distributions to be paid, if any, are determined in accordance with Federal income tax regulations, which may differ from U.S. GAAP. As a result, net investment income/(loss) and net realized gain/(loss) on investment transactions for a reporting period may differ significantly from distributions during such period. These book/tax differences may be temporary or permanent. To the extent these differences are permanent in nature, they are charged or credited to distributable earnings or paid-in capital, as appropriate, in the period that the differences arise.
The permanent differences primarily consist of foreign currency translations, reclassification of long term capital gain distribution on REITs, investments in publicly traded partnerships, investments in PFICs, net operating losses offset to short-term capital gain and distribution reclassification. The permanent difference that is credited or charged to Paid-in Capital and Distributable Earnings as of October 31, 2021 is primarily related to distribution in excess:
Distributable Earnings | Paid-in Capital | |||||||
International Government Fixed Income Fund | $ | 863,144 | $ | (863,144 | ) |
These reclassifications have no impact on net assets or net asset value per share.
73
Gallery Trust | October 31, 2021 | |
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)
The character of distributions made during the year from net investment income or net realized gains may differ from their ultimate characterization for federal income tax purposes. Also, due to the timing of dividend distributions, the fiscal year in which amounts are distributed may differ from the year that the income or realized gains (losses) were recorded by the Funds. Income dividends and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance with federal income tax regulations, which may differ from U.S. GAAP. These differences are primarily due to differing treatments for forwards, foreign currency transactions, wash sale loss deferrals, investments in REIT’s and investments in PFICs. Distributions during the years ended October 31, 2021 and October 31, 2020, unless otherwise noted, were as follows:

9. | Risks associated with financial instruments |
As with all mutual funds, a shareholder of a Fund is subject to the risk that his or her investment could lose money. The Funds are subject to the principal risks noted below, any of which may adversely affect the Funds’ net asset value and ability to meet its investment objective. A more complete description of risks associated with each Fund is included in the prospectus.
78
Gallery Trust | October 31, 2021 | |
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)
Active management risk
The Funds are subject to the risk that the Adviser’s judgments about the attractiveness, value, or potential appreciation of the Funds’ investments may prove to be incorrect. If the investments selected and strategies employed by the Funds fail to produce the intended results, the Funds could underperform in comparison to its benchmark index or other funds with similar objectives and investment strategies.
Equity risk
Since it purchases equity securities, the Funds are subject to the risk that stock prices may fall over short or extended periods of time. Historically, the equity markets have moved in cycles, and the value of the Funds’ equity securities may fluctuate from day to day. Individual companies may report poor results or be negatively affected by industry and/or economic trends and developments. The prices of securities issued by such companies may suffer a decline in response. These factors contribute to price volatility, which is the principal risk of investing in the Funds.
Convertible securities risk
The value of a convertible security is influenced by changes in interest rates (with investment value declining as interest rates increase and increasing as interest rates decline) and the credit standing of the issuer. The price of a convertible security will also normally vary in some proportion to changes in the price of the underlying common stock because of the conversion or exercise feature.
Large capitalization company risk
The large capitalization companies in which the Funds may invest may lag the performance of smaller capitalization companies because large capitalization companies may experience slower rates of growth than smaller capitalization companies and may not respond as quickly to market changes and opportunities.
Preferred stocks risk
Preferred stocks are sensitive to interest rate changes, and are also subject to equity risk, which is the risk that stock prices will fall over short or extended periods of time. The rights of preferred stocks on the distribution of a company’s assets in the event of a liquidation are generally subordinate to the rights associated with a company’s debt securities.
79
Gallery Trust | October 31, 2021 | |
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)
Foreign company risk
Investing in foreign companies, including direct investments and investments through depositary receipts, poses additional risks since political and economic events unique to a country or region will affect those markets and their issuers. These risks will not necessarily affect the U.S. economy or similar issuers located in the U.S. Securities of foreign companies may not be registered with the SEC and foreign companies are generally not subject to the regulatory controls imposed on U.S. issuers and, as a consequence, there is generally less publically available information about foreign securities than is available about domestic securities. Income from foreign securities owned by the Funds may be reduced by a withholding tax at the source, which tax would reduce income received from the securities comprising the portfolio. Foreign securities may also be more difficult to value than securities of U.S. issuers. While depositary receipts provide an alternative to directly purchasing the underlying foreign securities in their respective national markets and currencies, investments in depositary receipts continue to be subject to many of the risks associated with investing directly in foreign securities.
Emerging markets securities risk
The Funds’ investments in emerging markets securities are considered speculative and subject to heightened risks in addition to the general risks of investing in foreign securities. Unlike more established markets, emerging markets may have governments that are less stable, markets that are less liquid and economies that are less developed. In addition, the securities markets of emerging market countries may consist of companies with smaller market capitalizations and may suffer periods of relative illiquidity; significant price volatility; restrictions on foreign investment; and possible restrictions on repatriation of investment income and capital. Furthermore, foreign investors may be required to register the proceeds of sales, and future economic or political crises could lead to price controls, forced mergers, expropriation or confiscatory taxation, seizure, nationalization or creation of government monopolies.
Foreign currency risk
As a result of the Funds’ investments in securities denominated in, and/or receiving revenues in, foreign currencies, the Funds will be subject to currency risk. Currency risk is the risk that foreign currencies will decline in value relative to the U.S. dollar or, in the case of hedging positions, that the U.S. dollar will decline in value relative to the currency hedged. In either event, the dollar value of an investment in the Funds would be adversely affected.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)
Depositary receipts risk
Investments in depositary receipts may be less liquid and more volatile than the underlying securities in their primary trading market. If a depositary receipt is denominated in a different currency than its underlying securities, the Funds will be subject to the currency risk of both the investment in the depositary receipt and the underlying security. Holders of depositary receipts may have limited or no rights to take action with respect to the underlying securities or to compel the issuer of the receipts to take action. The prices of depositary receipts may differ from the prices of securities upon which they are based. Certain of the depositary receipts in which the Fund invests may be unsponsored depositary receipts. Unsponsored depositary receipts may not provide as much information about the underlying issuer and may not carry the same voting privileges as sponsored depositary receipts. Unsponsored depositary receipts are issued by one or more depositaries in response to market demand, but without a formal agreement with the company that issues the underlying securities.
Derivatives risk
The Funds’ use of forward contracts and participatory notes is subject to market risk, correlation risk, credit risk, valuation risk and liquidity risk. Market risk is the risk that the market value of an investment may move up and down, sometimes rapidly and unpredictably. Correlation risk is the risk that changes in the value of the derivative may not correlate perfectly or at all with the underlying asset, rate or index. Credit risk is the risk that the counterparty to a derivative contract will default or otherwise become unable to honor a financial obligation. Valuation risk is the risk that the derivative may be difficult to value. Liquidity risk is described below. The Funds’ use of forwards is also subject to leverage risk and hedging risk. Leverage risk is the risk that the use of leverage may amplify the effects of market volatility on the Fund’s share price and may also cause the Fund to liquidate portfolio positions when it would not be advantageous to do so in order to satisfy its obligations. Hedging risk is the risk that derivatives instruments used for hedging purposes may also limit any potential gain that may result from the increase in value of the hedged asset. To the extent that the Funds engage in hedging strategies, there can be no assurance that such strategy will be effective or that there will be a hedge in place at any given time. Each of these risks could cause the Funds to lose more than the principal amount invested in a derivative instrument.

Gallery Trust | October 31, 2021 | |
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)
Liquidity risk
Certain securities may be difficult or impossible to sell at the time and the price that the Funds would like. The Funds may have to lower the price, sell other securities instead or forgo an investment opportunity, any of which could have a negative effect on Fund management or performance.
Portfolio turnover risk
Due to their investment strategies, the Funds may buy and sell securities frequently. This may result in higher transaction costs and additional capital gains tax liabilities.
Large purchase and redemption risk
Large purchases or redemptions of the Fund’s shares may force the Fund to purchase or sell securities at times when it would not otherwise do so, and may cause the Fund’s portfolio turnover rate and transaction costs to rise, which may negatively affect the Fund’s performance and have adverse tax consequences for Fund shareholders.
Fixed income risk
Fixed income securities are subject to a number of risks, including credit and interest rate risks. Credit risk is the risk that the issuer or obligor will not make timely payments of principal and interest. Changes in an issuer’s credit rating or the market’s perception of an issuer’s creditworthiness may also affect the value of the Fund’s investment in that issuer. Interest rate risk is the risk that the value of a fixed income security will fall when interest rates rise. In general, the longer the maturity of a fixed income security, the more likely its value will decline when interest rates rise. Risks associated with rising interest rates are heightened given that interest rates in the U.S. are at, or near, historic lows.
Zero-coupon bond risk
The market value of a zero-coupon bond is generally more volatile than the market value of other fixed income securities with similar maturities that pay interest periodically. In addition, federal income tax law requires that the holder of a zero coupon bond accrue a portion of the discount at which the bond was purchased as taxable income each year. The Fund may consequently have to dispose of portfolio securities under disadvantageous circumstances to generate cash to satisfy its requirement as a regulated investment company to distribute all of its net income (including non-cash income attributable to zero-coupon securities). These actions may reduce the assets to which the Fund’s expenses could otherwise be allocated and may reduce the Fund’s rate of return.

Gallery Trust | October 31, 2021 | |
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)
Foreign sovereign debt securities risk
The Funds’ investments in foreign sovereign debt securities are subject to the risks that: (i) the governmental entity that controls the repayment of sovereign debt may not be willing or able to repay the principal and/or interest when it becomes due, due to factors such as debt service burden, political constraints, cash flow problems and other national economic factors; (ii) governments may default on their debt securities, which may require holders of such securities to participate in debt rescheduling or additional lending to defaulting governments; and (iii) there is no bankruptcy proceeding by which defaulted sovereign debt may be collected in whole or in part.
Foreign government agencies risk
Bonds issued by government agencies, subdivisions or instrumentalities of foreign governments are generally backed only by the general creditworthiness and reputation of the entity issuing the bonds and may not be backed by the full faith and credit of the foreign government. Moreover, a foreign government that explicitly provides its full faith and credit to a particular entity may be, due to changed circumstances, unable or unwilling to provide that support. A foreign government agency’s operations and financial condition are influenced by the foreign government’s economic and other policies.
Supranational entities risk
Government members, or “stockholders,” usually make initial capital contribu-tions to a supranational entity and in many cases are committed to make additional capital contributions if the supranational entity is unable to repay its borrowings. There is no guarantee, however, that one or more stockholders of the supranational entity will continue to make any necessary additional capital contributions. If such contributions are not made, the entity may be unable to pay interest or repay principal on its debt securities, and the Funds may lose money on such investments.
Corporate fixed income securities risk
Corporate fixed income securities respond to economic developments, especially changes in interest rates, as well as perceptions of the creditworthiness and business prospects of individual issuers.
Investment Style Risk
The Mondrian Global Equity Value Fund pursues a “value style” of investing. Value investing focuses on companies with stocks that appear undervalued to the Adviser in light of factors such as the company’s earnings, book value,
83
Gallery Trust | October 31, 2021 | |
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)
revenues or cash flow. The Adviser’s methodology for analyzing value may differ from other market approaches. If the Adviser’s assessment of market conditions, or a company’s value or its prospects for exceeding earnings expectations is inaccurate, the Fund could suffer losses or produce poor performance relative to other funds. In addition, “value stocks” can continue to be undervalued by the market for long periods of time.
Small- and Mid-Capitalization Company Risk
The small- and mid-capitalization companies in which a Fund may invest may be more vulnerable to adverse business or economic events than larger, more established companies. In particular, investments in these small- and mid-sized companies may pose additional risks, including liquidity risk, because these companies tend to have limited product lines, markets and financial resources, and may depend upon a relatively small management group. Therefore, small- and mid-cap stocks may be more volatile than those of larger companies. These securities may be traded over-the-counter or listed on an exchange.
Rights and Warrants Risk
Investments in rights or warrants involve the risk of loss of the purchase value of a right or warrant if the right to subscribe to additional shares is not exercised prior to the right’s or warrant’s expiration. Also, the purchase of rights and/or warrants involves the risk that the effective price paid for the right and/or warrant added to the subscription price of the underlying security may exceed the market price of the underlying security in instances such as those where there is no movement in the price of the underlying security.
Private Placements Risk
Investment in privately placed securities may be less liquid than in publicly traded securities. Although these securities may be resold in privately negotiated transactions, the prices realized from these sales could be less than those originally paid by the Fund or less than what may be considered the fair value of such securities. Further, companies whose securities are not publicly traded may not be subject to the disclosure and other investor protection requirements that might be applicable if their securities were publicly traded.
Risks of Investing in Other Investment Companies
To the extent a Fund invests in other investment companies, such as open-end funds, closed-end funds and ETFs, the Fund will be subject to substantially the same risks as those associated with the direct ownership of the securities held by such other investment companies. As a shareholder of another investment
84
Gallery Trust | October 31, 2021 | |
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)
company, the Fund relies on that investment company to achieve its investment objective. If the investment company fails to achieve its objective, the value of the Fund’s investment could decline, which could adversely affect the Fund’s performance. By investing in another investment company, Fund shareholders indirectly bear the Fund’s proportionate share of the fees and expenses of the other investment company, in addition to the fees and expenses that Fund shareholders directly bear in connection with the Fund’s own operations.
Because ETFs and certain closed-end funds are listed on national stock exchanges and are traded like stocks listed on an exchange, their shares potentially may trade at a discount or premium. Investments in ETFs and certain closed-end funds are also subject to brokerage and other trading costs, which could result in greater expenses to the Fund. In addition, because the value of ETF and certain closed-end fund shares depends on the demand in the market, the Adviser may not be able to liquidate the Fund’s holdings at the most optimal time, which could adversely affect Fund performance.
REITs Risk
REITs are pooled investment vehicles that own, and usually operate, income- producing real estate. REITs are susceptible to the risks associated with direct ownership of real estate, such as the following: declines in property values; increases in property taxes, operating expenses, interest rates or competition; overbuilding; zoning changes; and losses from casualty or condemnation. REITs typically incur fees that are separate from those of the Fund. Accordingly, the Fund’s investments in REITs will result in the layering of expenses such that shareholders will indirectly bear a proportionate share of the REITs’ operating expenses, in addition to paying Fund expenses. REIT operating expenses are not reflected in the fee table and example in this prospectus.
MLPs Risk
MLPs are limited partnerships in which the ownership units are publicly traded. MLPs often own several properties or businesses (or own interests) that are related to oil and gas industries or other natural resources, but they also may finance other projects. To the extent that an MLP’s interests are all in a particular industry, such as the energy industry, the MLP will be negatively impacted by economic events adversely impacting that industry. Additional risks of investing in an MLP also include those involved in investing in a partnership as opposed to a corporation. For example, state law governing partnerships is often less restrictive than state law governing corporations. Accordingly, there may be fewer protections afforded to investors in an MLP
85
Gallery Trust | October 31, 2021 | |
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)
than investors in a corporation; for example, investors in MLPs may have limited voting rights or be liable under certain circumstances for amounts greater than the amount of their investment. In addition, MLPs may be subject to state taxation in certain jurisdictions which will have the effect of reducing the amount of income paid by the MLP to its investors. A Fund’s investment in MLPs may result in the layering of expenses, such that shareholders will indirectly bear a proportionate share of the MLPs’ operating expenses, in addition to paying Fund expenses. MLP operating expenses are not reflected in the fee table and example in this prospectus.
Energy companies are affected by worldwide energy prices and costs related to energy production. These companies may have significant operations in areas at risk for natural disasters, social unrest and environmental damage. These companies may also be at risk for increased government regulation and intervention, energy conservation efforts, litigation and negative publicity and perception.
Geographic Focus Risk
To the extent that a Fund focuses its investments in a particular country or geographic region, the Fund may be more susceptible to economic, political, regulatory or other events or conditions affecting issuers and countries within that country or geographic region. As a result, the Fund may be subject to greater price volatility and risk of loss than a fund holding more geographically diverse investments.
Stock Connect Investing Risk
Trading through Stock Connect is subject to a number of restrictions that may affect a Fund’s investments and returns, including a daily quota that limits the maximum net purchases under Stock Connect each day. In addition, investments made through Stock Connect are subject to relatively untested trading, clearance and settlement procedures. Moreover, A-Shares purchased through Stock Connect generally may only be sold or otherwise transferred through Stock Connect. The Fund’s investments in A-Shares purchased through Stock Connect are generally subject to Chinese securities regulations and listing rules. While overseas investors currently are exempt from paying capital gains or value added taxes on income and gains from investments in A-Shares purchased through Stock Connect, these tax rules could be changed, which could result in unexpected tax liabilities for the Fund. Stock Connect operates only on days when both the Chinese and Hong Kong markets are open for trading and when banks in both markets are open on the corresponding
86
Gallery Trust | October 31, 2021 | |
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)
settlement days. Therefore, the Fund may be subject to the risk of price fluctuations of A-Shares when Stock Connect is not trading.
U.S. Government Securities Risk
A Fund’s investment in U.S. government obligations may include securities issued or guaranteed as to principal and interest by the U.S. government, or its agencies or instrumentalities. Payment of principal and interest on U.S. government obligations may be backed by the full faith and credit of the United States or may be backed solely by the issuing or guaranteeing agency or instrumentality itself. There can be no assurance that the U.S. government would provide financial support to its agencies or instrumentalities (including government-sponsored enterprises) where it is not obligated to do so. In addi-tion, U.S. government securities are not guaranteed against price movements due to changing interest rates.
High Yield Bond Risk
High yield, or “junk”, bonds are debt securities rated below investment grade. High yield bonds are speculative, involve greater risks of default, downgrade, or price declines and are more volatile and tend to be less liquid than investment-grade securities. Companies issuing high yield bonds are less financially strong, are more likely to encounter financial difficulties, and are more vulnerable to adverse market events and negative sentiments than companies with higher credit ratings.
Non-diversification risk
The Fixed Income Fund and Global Equity Value Fund are classified as “non-diversified,” which means they may invest a larger percentage of their assets in a smaller number of issuers than diversified funds. To the extent the Funds invest their assets in a smaller number of issuers, the Funds will be more susceptible to negative events affecting those issuers than diversified funds.
Market Risk
The prices of and the income generated by a Fund’s securities may decline in response to, among other things, investor sentiment, general economic and market conditions, regional or global instability, and currency and interest rate fluctuations. In addition, the impact of any epidemic, pandemic or natural disaster, or widespread fear that such events may occur, could negatively affect the global economy, as well as the economies of individual countries, the financial performance of individual companies and sectors, and the markets in
87

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)
10. | Indemnifications |
In the normal course of business, the Funds enter into contracts that provide general indemnifications. The Funds’ maximum exposure under these arrangements is dependent on future claims that may be made against the Funds and, therefore, cannot be established; however, based on experience, the risk of loss from such claims is considered remote.
11. | Borrowing from banks |
The Funds have access to custodian overdraft facilities. A Fund may have utilized the overdraft facility and incurred an interest expense, which is disclosed on the fund’s Statement of Operations, if any. The interest expense is determined based on a negotiated rate above the current Federal Funds Rate. For the year ended October 31, 2021, the Funds utilized the overdraft facilities but none of the Funds incurred any interest expense.
12. | Other |
At October 31, 2021, the percentage of total shares outstanding held by a limited number of shareholders for each Fund, which were comprised of omnibus accounts that were held on behalf of various individual shareholders was as follows:

On September 7, 2021, Brown Brothers Harriman & Co. (“BBH”), the Funds’ custodian, announced that it had entered into an agreement with State Street Bank and Trust Company (“State Street”) to sell BBH’s Investor Services business to State Street (the “Transaction”). The Transaction is subject to certain closing conditions, including regulatory and customary approvals, and it is expected to be consummated in the first quarter of 2022 (the “Closing Date”). Consequently, as a result of the Transaction, it is expected that State Street will replace BBH as the Funds’ custodian effective as of the Closing Date.
The Funds have evaluated the need for disclosures (other than what is disclosed in the preceding paragraph) and/or adjustments resulting from subsequent events through the date the financials were issued. Based on this evaluation, no disclosures and/or adjustments were required to the financial statements as of October 31, 2021.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
Basis for Opinions
These financial statements are the responsibility of the Funds’ management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Funds’ financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB) and are required to be independent with respect to the Funds in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our audits of these financial statements in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud.
Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of October 31, 2021 by correspondence with the custodian and brokers; when replies were not received from brokers, we performed other auditing procedures. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinions.

All mutual funds have operating expenses. As a shareholder of a mutual fund, your investment is affected by these ongoing costs, which include (among others) costs for fund management, administrative services, and shareholder reports like this one. It is important for you to understand the impact of these costs on your investment returns.
Operating expenses such as these are deducted from the mutual fund’s gross income and directly reduce its final investment return. These expenses are expressed as a percentage of the mutual fund’s average net assets; this percentage is known as the mutual fund’s expense ratio.
The following examples use the expense ratio and are intended to help you understand the ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in your Fund and to compare these costs with those of other mutual funds. The examples are based on an investment of $1,000 made at the beginning of the period shown and held for the entire period from May 1, 2021 to October 31, 2021.
The table on the next page illustrates your Fund’s costs in two ways:
Actual Fund Return. This section helps you to estimate the actual expenses after fee waivers that your Fund incurred over the period. The “Expenses Paid During Period” column shows the actual dollar expense cost incurred by a $1,000 investment in the Fund, and the “Ending Account Value” number is derived from deducting that expense cost from the Fund’s gross investment return.
You can use this information, together with the actual amount you invested in the Fund, to estimate the expenses you paid over that period. Simply divide your ending starting account value by $1,000 to arrive at a ratio (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply that ratio by the number shown for your Fund under “Expenses Paid During Period.”
Hypothetical 5% Return. This section helps you compare your Fund’s costs with those of other mutual funds. It assumes that the Fund had an annual 5% return before expenses during the year, but that the expense ratio (Column 3) for the period is unchanged. This example is useful in making comparisons because the Securities and Exchange Commission requires all mutual funds to make this 5% calculation. You can assess your Fund’s comparative cost by comparing the hypothetical result for your Fund in the “Expenses Paid During Period” column with those that appear in the same charts in the shareholder reports for other mutual funds.

There have been no amendments to or waivers granted to this code of ethics.
Item 3. Audit Committee Financial Expert.
(a)(1) The Registrant’s board of trustees has determined that the Registrant has at least one audit committee financial expert serving on the audit committee.
(a) (2) The audit committee financial experts are Thomas Lemke and Jay Nadel, and each of Mr. Lemke and Mr. Nadel is considered to be “independent,” as that term is defined in Form N-CSR Item 3(a)(2).
Item 4. Principal Accountant Fees and Services.
Fees billed by PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP (“PwC”) relate to the Gallery Trust (the “Trust”).
PwC billed the Trust aggregate fees for services rendered to the Trust for the last two fiscal years as follows:
2021 | 2020 | ||||||
All fees and services to the Trust that were pre-approved | All fees and services to service affiliates that were pre-approved | All other fees and services to service affiliates that did not require pre-approval | All fees and services to the Trust that were pre-approved | All fees and services to service affiliates that were pre-approved | All other fees and services to service affiliates that did not require pre-approval | ||
(a) | Audit Fees(1) | $151,100 | None | None | $151,100 | None | None |
(b) | Audit-Related Fees | None | None | None | None | None | $165,403 |
(c) | Tax Fees | $13,090(2) | None | $132,398(3) | $19,040 | None | $75,000 (3) |
(d) | All Other Fees | None | None | None | None | None | None |
Notes:
(1) | Audit fees include amounts related to the audit of the Trust’s annual financial statements and services normally provided by the accountant in connection with statutory and regulatory filings. |
(2) | Contains tax compliance services for Mondrian International Value Equity Fund. |
(3) | Contains tax compliance services provided to service affiliates of the Funds. |
(e)(1) The Trust’s Audit Committee has adopted and the Board of Trustees has ratified an Audit and Non-Audit Services Pre-Approval Policy (the “Policy”), which sets forth the procedures and the conditions pursuant to which services proposed to be performed by the independent auditor of the Funds may be pre-approved.
The Policy provides that all requests or applications for proposed services to be provided by the independent auditor must be submitted to the Registrant’s Chief Financial Officer (“CFO”) and must include a detailed description of the services proposed to be rendered. The CFO will determine whether such services:
1. require specific pre-approval;
2. are included within the list of services that have received the general pre-approval of the Audit Committee pursuant to the Policy; or
3. have been previously pre-approved in connection with the independent auditor’s annual engagement letter for the applicable year or otherwise. In any instance where services require pre-approval, the Audit Committee will consider whether these services are consistent with SEC’s rules and whether the provision of these services would impair the auditor’s independence.
Requests or applications to provide services that require specific pre-approval by the Audit Committee will be submitted to the Audit Committee by the CFO. The Audit Committee will be informed by the CFO on a quarterly basis of all services rendered by the independent auditor. The Audit Committee has delegated specific pre-approval authority to either the Audit Committee Chair or financial expert, provided that the estimated fee for any said proposed pre-approved service does not exceed $100,000 and any pre-approval decisions are reported to the Audit Committee at the Audit Committee’s next regularly-scheduled meeting.
Services that have received the general pre-approval of the Audit Committee are identified and described in the Policy. In addition, the Policy sets forth a maximum fee per engagement with respect to each identified service that has received general pre-approval.
All services to be provided by the independent auditor shall be provided pursuant to a signed written engagement letter with the Registrant, the investment adviser or applicable control affiliate (except that matters as to which an engagement letter would be impractical because of timing issues or because the matter is small may not be the subject of an engagement letter) that sets forth both the services to be provided by the independent auditor and the total fees to be paid to the independent auditor for those services.
In addition, the Audit Committee has determined to take additional measures on an annual basis to meet the Audit Committee’s responsibility to oversee the work of the independent auditor and to assure the auditor's independence from the Registrant, such as (a) reviewing a formal written statement from the independent auditor delineating all relationships between the independent auditor and the Registrant, and (b) discussing with the independent auditor the independent auditor’s methods and procedures for ensuring independence.
(e)(2) | Percentage of fees billed by PwC applicable to non-audit services pursuant to the “de minimis” exception of Rule 2-01(c)(7)(i)(C) were as follows: |
2021 | 2020 | |
Audit-Related Fees | None | None |
Tax Fees | None | None |
All Other Fees | None | None |
(f) Not applicable.
(g) The aggregate non-audit fees and services billed by PwC for services rendered to the Registrant, and rendered to the Registrant’s investment adviser (not including any sub-adviser whose role is primarily portfolio management and is subcontracted with or overseen by another investment adviser), and any entity controlling, controlled by, or under common control with the adviser that provides ongoing services to the Registrant for the last fiscal-years-ended October 31st were $132,398 and $240,403 for 2021 and 2020, respectively.
(h) During the past fiscal year, all non-audit services provided by Registrant’s principal accountant to either Registrant’s investment adviser or to any entity controlling, controlled by, or under common control with Registrant’s investment adviser that provides ongoing services to Registrant were pre-approved by the Audit Committee of Registrant’s Board of Trustees. Included in the Audit Committee’s pre-approval of these non-audit services was the review and consideration as to whether the provision of these non-audit services is compatible with maintaining the principal accountant’s independence.
Item 5. Audit Committee of Listed Registrants.
Not applicable to open-end management investment companies.
Item 6. Schedule of Investments.
Schedule of Investments is included as part of the Report to Shareholders filed under Item 1 of this form.
Item 7. Disclosure of Proxy Voting Policies and Procedures for Closed-End Management Investment Companies.

Item 10. Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders.
