ANNUAL REPORT
SEPTEMBER 30, 2023
The Securities and Exchange Comission (“SEC”) recently adopted a rule requiring mutual funds to produce “concise and visually engaging” annual and semi-annual reports to shareholders. This streamlined format is intended to highlight key information for retail shareholders to permit them to assess and monitor their fund investments. More detailed information that has historically been part of shareholder reports, such as the shareholder letter, financial statements and financial highlights, will not appear in the new streamlined shareholder reports, but will be available free of charge upon request to the Fund or via the Fund’s Form N-CSR filed with the SEC on its EDGAR database. The compliance date for funds to implement streamlined shareholder reports is July 24, 2024; therefore, the Funds will issue its first streamlined shareholder reports beginning with its September 30, 2024 annual report. The new rule requires that each series and class of a mutual fund issue a separate streamlined shareholder report. For example, if you are a shareholder of two (2) share classes of four (4) series of the JOHCM Funds Trust, you will receive eight (8) separate streamlined shareholder reports, one for each share class of each Fund, upon implementation of the new rule. In addition, the new rule requires that a hard copy of a Fund’s streamlined shareholder report be mailed to each shareholder, unless the shareholder elects to receive such reports electronically. If you wish to `opt-in’ for electronic delivery of the Funds’ annual and semi-annual shareholder reports, please contact your financial advisor (or for direct shareholders, please contact the Funds at 866-260-9549 (toll free) or 312-557-5913) for assistance in enrolling your account in paperless (i.e., electronic) delivery of shareholder materials.
This report is submitted for the general information of the shareholders of the Funds. It is not authorized for the distribution to prospective investors unless preceded or accompanied by an effective prospectus.

DEAR SHAREHOLDER:
I am pleased to present the Annual Report for the 12-months ended September 30, 2023, for each series of JOHCM Funds Trust (the “Trust”).
On January 23, 2023, Perpetual Limited completed the acquisition of Pendal Group Limited (“Pendal”), the parent of JOHCM (USA) Inc (“JOHCM”) and Thompson, Siegel & Walmsley LLC (“TSW”). The acquisition created a global leader in multi-boutique asset management with significant scale, diversified investment strategies, world-class environment, social and governance “ESG” capabilities and a stronger global distribution capability, complemented by high-quality wealth management and trustee businesses. Perpetual’s total assets under management as of September 30, 2023, were approximately $136.6 billion.
In the U.S., the acquisition brings the investment expertise of Trillium Asset Management (“Trillium”) and Barrow, Hanley, Mewhinney & Strauss under the same ownership as JOHCM and TSW. The combined Perpetual Limited U.S. business represents $77.5 billion in assets under management across 52 strategies available in the U.S. as of September 30, 2023.
Trillium, based in Boston, is a leading specialist ESG investment firm with assets under management of $4.5 billion dollars, across eight key strategies as of September 30, 2023. Trillium has a team of 61 staff, including 24 investment professionals with an investment process that integrates ESG factors to identify the companies best positioned to deliver strong long-term performance.
On October 30, 2023, the Trillium ESG Global Equity Fund and the Trillium ESG Small/Mid Cap Fund were reorganized as new series of the Trust. The reorganizations add a third affiliate of Perpetual in the U.S. to the Trust platform and expand the Trust’s product offering for clients.
It is anticipated that the Trust will be rebranded as “Perpetual Americas Funds Trust” in Q1 2024 to strategically align with Perpetual Limited and acknowledge the evolution into a multi-affiliate, investment management structure.
We thank you for the continued trust and confidence that you have placed in us.
Respectfully submitted,

PORTFOLIO COMMENTARY
September 30, 2023 (Unaudited)
The performance data quoted represents past performance; past performance does not guarantee future results. The investment return and principal value of an investment will fluctuate so that an investor’s shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. The Fund’s current performance may be lower or higher than the performance data quoted. Investors may obtain performance information current to the most recent month-end, within 7 business days, by calling 866-260-9549 or 312-557-5913.
The Fund’s benchmark for performance comparison purposes is the Morgan Stanley Capital International (“MSCI”) Emerging Markets Index. The Index is a free float-adjusted market capitalization index that is designed to measure equity market performance in the global emerging markets. The table reflects the theoretical reinvestment of dividends on securities in the Index. The impact of transaction costs and the deduction of expenses associated with a mutual fund, such as investment management and administration fees, are not reflected in the Index calculations. It is not possible to invest directly in an index.
Investment Philosophy and Process
The Fund seeks long-term capital appreciation by investing, under normal circumstances, at least 80% of its net assets (plus the amount of any borrowings for investment purposes) in equity securities of companies located in emerging market countries. Emerging market countries are those countries included in the MSCI Emerging Markets Index and MSCI Frontier Markets Index, countries with low to middle-income economies according to the International Bank for Reconstruction and Development (more commonly referred to as the World Bank) and other countries with similar emerging market characteristics. The Fund may invest in companies of any size, including small- and mid-capitalization companies. The Fund may also invest up to 5% of its assets in frontier markets, which are generally smaller, less liquid, and less developed than emerging markets.
Performance
The 12-month period ended September 30, 2023 was a positive one for global equity markets, including emerging markets, although most of the gains came in the early part of the period. An end to lockdowns in China, a period of stable bond yields, a weaker U.S. dollar and lower energy prices drove a powerful recovery in equity markets from October 2022 to January 2023. However, the later part of the period saw a return to rising bond yields, a stronger dollar and a higher oil price. Overall, the MSCI Emerging Markets Index returned 11.7% for the 12 months ended September 30, 2023.
At the start of the period, Chinese authorities began a controlled re-opening of the economy. The Chinese economy then began a weak and asymmetric recovery. Parts of the consumer and services economy benefited from re-opening, but data from the manufacturing and real estate sectors largely reflected weak economic conditions. In the financial system, money supply growth failed to stimulate loan growth, reflecting the continuing build-up of deposits by cautious households and companies. MSCI China returned 5.2% for the 12 months ended September 30, 2023. The Fund’s portfolio remained underweight in China during the period, which positively contributed to performance.
The markets more exposed to technology and manufacturing recovered from weak prior performance. MSCI Korea returned 26.2% and MSCI Taiwan 21.8% for the 12 months ended September 30, 2023, despite ongoing challenges from weak exports and growth. Noting the ongoing slowdown in global trade relative to industrial production, we remained underweight in these two markets, which detracted from performance.
Despite a difficult external macroeconomic environment, healthy trade dynamics enabled domestic demand growth in traditionally high-beta, weaker current account economies. We held overweight positions in Indonesia, India and Mexico in the period. We also held an overweight position in Brazil, where growth has been slower to recover, but where large interest rate cuts are being delivered by the central bank. The equity markets in this group of countries had varied performance in the period. MSCI Mexico returned 33.6%, MSCI Brazil 15.2%, MSCI India 10.1% and MSCI Indonesia 1.5% for the 12 months ended September 30, 2023. Within this group, we increased our allocation to Indonesia and rotated our holdings in Brazil away from commodity exporters and towards interest-rate-sensitive companies.

The Fund’s benchmark for performance comparison purposes is the Morgan Stanley Capital International (“MSCI”) Emerging Markets Small Cap Index. The Index includes small cap representation across 24 Emerging Markets countries and covers approximately 14% of the free float-adjusted market capitalization in each country. The table reflects the theoretical reinvestment of dividends on securities in the Index. The impact of transaction costs and the deduction of expenses associated with a mutual fund, such as investment management and administration fees, are not reflected in the Index calculations. It is not possible to invest directly in an index.
Investment Philosophy and Process
The Fund seeks long-term capital appreciation by investing, under normal circumstances, at least 80% of its net assets (plus the amount of any borrowings for investment purposes) in equity securities issued by companies located in emerging markets, including frontier markets. Equity securities include common and preferred stocks, and include rights and warrants to subscribe to common stock or other equity securities. The Fund may achieve its equity exposure either directly or indirectly, such as through depositary receipts, exchange-traded funds and participatory notes (commonly known as “P-notes”). Emerging market countries are those countries included in the MSCI Emerging Markets Index and MSCI Frontier Markets Index, countries with low to middle-income economies according to the International Bank for Reconstruction and Development (more commonly referred to as the World Bank), and other countries with similar emerging market characteristics.
Performance
In a challenging and volatile year for most asset classes, emerging markets experienced an equally, if not even more chaotic period partially reflective of the developments in developed markets. In addition to the uncertainties surrounding the rate environment in the U.S., the slowdown in the Chinese domestic economy and the balance sheet challenges hovering over the country’s property sector created strong headwinds for emerging markets equities. Furthermore, the continuation of the war in Ukraine has exacerbated issues with higher commodity prices and disrupted supply chains, intensifying the magnitude of market moves. The positive countries for the Fund were Taiwan, Greece, and Indonesia (relatively speaking). In particular, the Fund benefited meaningfully from its exposure to the rise in the artificial intelligence (AI) sector. Taiwan’s technology supply chain is the backbone of AI servers and the Fund’s fast action and timely exposure to the AI supply chain at the beginning of the year drove significant alpha generation.
For the 12-month period ended September 30, 2023 the Fund underperformed in South Korea and Mexico. In South Korea, Ray Co Ltd and Hyundai Mipo drove negative attribution as both companies missed earnings expectations. In Mexico, Volaris, a low-cost airline based in the country, came under pressure during the period as a result of higher jet fuel cost and unforeseen problems with its fleet’s engine performance.

The Fund’s benchmark for performance comparison purposes is the Morgan Stanley Capital International (“MSCI”) All Country World Index (ACWI). The Index is a free float-adjusted market capitalization weighted index that is designed to measure the equity market performance of developed and emerging markets. The table reflects the theoretical reinvestment of dividends on securities in the Index. The impact of transaction costs and the deduction of expenses associated with a mutual fund, such as investment management and administration fees, are not reflected in the Index calculations. It is not possible to invest directly in an index.
Investment Philosophy and Process
The Fund seeks long-term capital appreciation by investing primarily in common stocks and other equity securities of U.S. and non-U.S. companies, including direct and indirect investments in common and preferred stock, rights, and warrants. The Fund may obtain its exposure to equity securities indirectly through participatory notes, depositary receipts and exchange-traded funds. The Fund can invest without limit in non-U.S. securities and can invest in any country, including emerging market countries. The Fund normally invests at least 40% of its assets in companies located in countries other than the U.S., provided that the Fund reserves the flexibility to invest as little as 30% of its assets in companies located outside the U.S. when market conditions are unfavorable. Notwithstanding the previous sentence, the Fund may invest a percentage lower than 40% in such non-U.S. securities if the weighting of non-U.S. securities in the Fund’s performance benchmark (currently, the MSCI ACWI) drops below 45%, in which case the minimum level for investments in non-U.S. securities must remain within 5% of the benchmark’s weighting (e.g. if the weighting of non-U.S. securities in the Fund’s performance benchmark is 38%, the minimum level for investing in non-U.S. securities for the Fund would be 33%). Typically, the Fund invests in a number of different countries. The Fund is not required to allocate its investments in any set percentages in any particular countries. The Fund may invest in companies of any size, including small- and mid-capitalization companies, in order to achieve its objective.
Performance
The Fund underperformed its benchmark, the MSCI ACWI Index for the 12 months ended September 30, 2023. The past year was a wild ride for the markets. Firstly, turmoil in the U.S. and European banking sector (e.g., Silicon Valley Bank, Signature Bank, and Credit Suisse crises) initially weighed on equity returns, then quick central bank and regulatory intervention prompted an equity bounce. Secondly, the S&P 500 shows a notable dispersion when compared to the top 10 largest stocks in the index, with the latter significantly outperforming the former. This is the widest dispersion between the top 10 and the rest of the index since records began, and it is a major reason why the Fund underperformed the benchmark. We believe this dispersion is unsustainable, and the second half of the year will see a mean reversion, with the 10 largest stocks starting to underperform and other stocks/sectors/regions starting to outperform. We are particularly interested in defensive sectors, such as staples, healthcare, utilities, and telecoms. These sectors have been beaten down in recent months but are now trading at attractive valuations.
The Fund underperformed the benchmark in the period mainly due to the negative effect of stock selection in the information technology, financial and healthcare sectors, which was not offset by the positive effect of stock selection in the materials sector. In the technology sector, not owning Apple, Nvidia and other U.S. mega-cap technology stocks that rallied on the AI theme/bubble.
The main positive contributors in the period included Novo Nordisk (health care), Linde (materials), ANSYS (information technology), United Rentals (industrials) and Fortescue Metals Group (materials). The main negative contributors in the period included Epam Systems (information technology), Orsted (utilities), Keysight Technologies (information technology), Morningstar (financials) and Estée Lauder (consumer staples).
We made the following thematic and stock-specific changes to the Fund’s portfolio during the period. Following earnings downgrades, we sold the Fund’s Epam and Morningstar holdings, as we do not believe the downgrades will be one-offs. The team worries that the slowdown in China may be more structural than cyclical due to the 4Ds of Demographics, Demand, Debt and Decoupling. The Fund owns zero China direct stocks and sold stocks with a high percentage of revenue risk from China, such as Agilent, Estée Lauder, Infineon, Keyence and Keysight. Japan is experiencing a regime shift from “sell the rallies” to “buy the dips”, due to corporate restructuring and the potential end of unconventional monetary policy. The Fund purchased Daifuku (supply chain automation). The team missed the first order AI winners like Nvidia, which do not fit our process. The Fund bought the second order winners that do fit our process such as Adobe, Amazon, Dynatrace and Hynix. We have added European/UK-based companies with a substantial valuation gap compared to their U.S. counterparts. We have identified that such companies’ valuation gap closes when they pursue a listing in the U.S. For instance, we added CRH, a company trading at a 40% discount relative to its U.S. industry peers, which has plans for a U.S. listing.

dividends on securities in the Index. The impact of transaction costs and the deduction of expenses associated with a mutual fund, such as investment management and administration fees, are not reflected in the Index calculations. It is not possible to invest directly in an index.
Investment Philosophy and Process
The Fund seeks to achieve long-term total return by investing, under normal market conditions, primarily in equity securities of companies located outside the United States, including those located in emerging market countries. The Fund may invest in non-U.S. companies of any size, including small- and mid-capitalization companies, in order to achieve its objective. Equity securities include common and preferred stocks, and include rights and warrants to subscribe to common stock or other equity securities. The Fund may achieve its equity exposure either directly or indirectly, such as through participatory notes, though it does not use such indirect instruments as a means of achieving leverage.
Performance
Following a very challenging nine months, equity markets rallied strongly between October 2022 and January 2023, with the MSCI EAFE index increasing by 25% during those four months. This was led by optimism around China’s post-Covid reopening and Europe’s mild winter averting an energy crisis. Cyclical sectors led the way, with industrials and materials up around 30%, along with technology (especially semiconductors) and consumer discretionary. In contrast to the ‘magnificent seven’ in the U.S., the EAFE index then flat-lined until September, before fading a little into the end of the period in the face of rising bond yields, energy prices and the U.S. dollar. Nevertheless, the 12-month period ended September 30, 2023 saw strong returns for equity investors in non-U.S. equities.
The Fund outperformed strongly during the year, particularly in the first quarter’s rally and the last quarter’s fall. A lot of the positive contributors were found in the aforementioned cyclical sectors, although in most cases, the share price strength was driven more by idiosyncratic factors and cheap starting valuations than purely macroeconomic tailwinds. For example, Cameco in energy, CRH in materials, Wartsila in industrials, B&M in consumer discretionary and publications, and Informa in media.
The Fund added nine new names during the year and sold seven. Purchases were biased towards Asia and included four Japanese companies: two industrials (Komatsu and Daifuku), an insurer (Tokio Marine) and Dentsu, the advertising agency. In the context of increasing competition for capital, our sales were generally names where we lost conviction in either the business model or the balance sheet, including ENEL, Proximus and Galp.

The performance data quoted represents past performance; past performance does not guarantee future results. The investment return and principal value of an investment will fluctuate so that an investor’s shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. The Fund’s current performance may be lower or higher than the performance data quoted. Investors may obtain performance information current to the most recent month-end, within 7 business days, by calling 866-260-9549 or 312-557-5913.
The Fund’s benchmark for performance comparison purposes is the Morgan Stanley Capital International (“MSCI”) Europe, Australasia and Far East (“EAFE”) Index. The Index is a free float-adjusted market capitalization index that is designed to measure the equity market performance of developed markets, excluding the US & Canada. The table reflects the theoretical reinvestment of dividends on securities in the Index. The impact of transaction costs and the deduction of expenses associated with a mutual fund, such as investment management and administration fees, are not reflected in the Index calculations. It is not possible to invest directly in an index.
Investment Philosophy and Process
The Fund seeks long-term capital appreciation by investing primarily in common stocks and other equity securities of companies located outside the United States, including those located in emerging market countries. The Fund’s equity securities include direct and indirect investments in common and preferred stocks, and rights and warrants to subscribe for common stock or other equity securities. The Fund may obtain its exposure to equity securities indirectly through participatory notes, depositary receipts and exchange-traded funds. The Fund may invest in companies of any size, including small- and mid-capitalization companies, in order to achieve its objective.
Performance
The Fund underperformed its benchmark, the MSCI EAFE Index for the 12 months ended September 30, 2023. After experiencing gains for international equities in the first half of 2023, the MSCI EAFE index posted a negative return in the third quarter of 2023 as markets worried about rising oil prices, rising U.S. interest rates, and geopolitical concerns.
After a good first half of the year, the Fund underperformed the benchmark. This was due to being underweight in the energy sector and the negative effect of stock selections in the consumer, financial and utilities sectors, which was not offset by the positive effect of stock selection in the health care sector.
The main positive contributors in the period were Advantest (information technology), B&M European Value (consumer discretionary) and Ferguson (industrials). In the information technology sector, Advantest, the Japanese semiconductor testing company, benefitted from AI’s need for more complex chip testing. In the consumer discretionary sector, B&M Bargains, the leading UK discount retailer, expanding into Europe, and Compass, the UK based global catering services company, were also positive contributors. In the industrials sector, Ferguson, the UK’s leading industrial supplies company, is benefitting from global expansion. The main negative contributors in the period included European stocks Orsted (utilities), Ono Pharmaceutical (health care) and Lonza Group (health care). Ono Pharmaceutical and Lonza were all weak during the 12-month period ended September 30, 2023 after strong relative share prices last year.
The team made certain thematic and stock-specific changes to the Fund’s portfolio during the period. In the second quarter of 2023, the Fund sold ICON on concerns over deteriorating future earnings and bought Danone on expectations of improving future earnings growth. The team worries that the slowdown in China is more structural than cyclical due to the 4Ds - Demographics, Demand, Debt and Decoupling. The Fund owns zero China direct stocks and sold stocks with a high percentage of revenue risk from China, such as Fanuc, Keyence, L’Oreal and Richemont. Japan is experiencing a regime shift from “sell the rallies” to “buy the dips” due to corporate restructuring and the potential end of unconventional monetary policy. The team purchased Daifuku (supply chain automation), Hitachi (energy transition), Komatsu (construction equipment). The Fund benefited from investments in AI names, trimmed its first order winners like Advantest, and bought second order winners whose earnings are positively inflecting, such as Hynix (High Bandwidth Memory). We have added European/UK-based companies with a substantial valuation gap compared to their U.S. counterparts. We have identified that such companies’ valuation gap closes when they pursue a listing in the U.S. For instance, we added CRH, a company trading at a 40% discount relative to its U.S. industry peers, which has plans for a U.S. listing.

September 30, 2023 (Unaudited)
Investment Philosophy and Process
The Fund seeks to achieve long-term capital appreciation by investing in companies that contribute solutions to addressing the world’s major social and environmental challenges. The Fund seeks to achieve this objective by investing primarily in a high-conviction global equity portfolio of companies the portfolio managers believe have the potential to contribute solutions to the world’s major social and environmental challenges. The Fund invests, under normal circumstances, at least 80% of its assets (net assets plus the amount of borrowings for investment purposes) in equity securities of companies that the portfolio managers believe satisfy their criteria for positive social or environmental impact. The portfolio managers currently measure this impact by applying the Regnan Taxonomy and a proprietary impact assessment based upon objective criteria, including the measurement of the activities that currently constitute, or that the portfolio managers expect over the long term will constitute, a significant portion (i.e., at least 30%) of a company’s business (using metrics that may include, without limitation, any of the following: revenues, earnings, capital expenditures, research and development investment, or book value). The Fund gains exposure to equity securities either directly or indirectly, including through equity-linked instruments such as participatory notes or index exchange-traded funds, and may invest in preferred stocks.
Performance
The Fund returned 13.98% for the 12-month period ended September 30, 2023. The Fund’s top contributors were Novo Nordisk, Abcam and ATS. Novo Nordisk, the global leader in diabetes and obesity care, was the largest positive contributor, driven by strong growth in Wegovy, its flagship obesity drug, as well as the outcome of its SELECT study demonstrating benefits beyond weight, specifically in cardiovascular health. Abcam also performed strongly during the period, following reports of takeover interest from multiple players, with a takeover bid from Danaher, which is now expected to be approved and close in 2024. ATS is an automation equipment and service company specialising in applications in industries such as life sciences, electric vehicle battery production and food processing, where precision and reliability are mission-critical to ensure product quality and safety, and where the cost of failure is high. The company has seen accelerating traction for its services, in particular in life sciences, where diabetes drugs and devices are a key end market with strong growth momentum, and in transportation, where ATS provides battery assembly automation as the U.S. electric vehicle industry ramps up capacity.
The Fund’s top detractors were Alfen, Orsted and Sartorius Stedim Biotech. Alfen, the Dutch energy transition specialist, fell on the back of destocking by clients, which remains ongoing in its EV Charging business. We believe that Alfen remains well-positioned to benefit from growth in EV adoption, which is still at an early stage and will require substantial further investment in charging infrastructure, due to its strong position in the European market. Orsted, the global leader in offshore wind construction and operation, fell following the announcement of a potential impairment of up to DKK16bn due to supply chain delays, U.S. tax credit delays and further interest rate rises. Sartorius Stedim Biotech detracted following a significant cut to its 2023 targets, which was also driven by customer destocking.

economically to emerging market countries, including frontier markets. Emerging market countries are those countries included in the MSCI Emerging Markets Index and MSCI Frontier Markets Index and other countries with similar emerging or frontier market characteristics. The Fund may invest in emerging market companies of any size, including small- and mid-capitalization companies in order to achieve its objective.
Performance
The TSW Emerging Markets Fund has returned 23.63% for the twelve months ending September 30, 2023 (Total Return-Net). The benchmark returned 11.70% over the same period. On a sector basis, Financials were the top contributor to performance. Kaspi.kz (Kazahstan) and Georgia Capital (Georgia) were leaders within the group. Both businesses were relatively insulated from the nearby Russia-Ukraine conflict. The Energy sector was a laggard with Reliance Industries (India) as a notable underperformer. The company used its strong balance sheet to further invest in its clean energy and retail businesses, but its core refining division saw margins decline in recent months as crude oil prices rose. We view this as a temporary issue and expect refining margins to stabilize over the long term as Reliance grows the size and profitability of its other segments.
China was the top contributor at the country level with NetEase as the best performing position. NetEase is a video game developer that has grown revenue and earnings with a slate of successful game releases. While its near-term prospects are somewhat dependent on government approval of its games, NetEase has deep experience developing titles appropriate for the Chinese market and has expanded its global market share substantially over the last decade. The Fund’s portfolio holdings in Taiwan were a drag on performance with E Ink Holdings as the largest detractor. E Ink’s innovative products are used to write on “digital paper” such as the Amazon Kindle tablet. The company is investing in capacity expansion as its technology is used in a growing number of applications including hospital and supermarket displays. Having completed the research and development of its proprietary products over the last decade, we believe the company has a long runway for earnings and cash flow growth as more customers adopt E Ink.

The Fund evaluates both qualitative (industry attractiveness, competitive positioning, management’s transparency and philosophy toward bondholders) and quantitative (asset/interest coverage, leverage, financial flexibility, and cash-flow) factors and attempts to reduce risk through diversification and credit analysis.

JOHCM FUNDS TRUST
PORTFOLIO COMMENTARY
September 30, 2023 (Unaudited)
Investment Philosophy and Process
The Fund seeks maximum long-term total return, consistent with reasonable risk to principal by investing, under normal circumstances, at least 80% of its net assets (plus the amount of any borrowings for investment purposes) in equity securities of companies with large market capitalizations. The Fund considers a company’s market capitalization to be large if it equals or exceeds that of the smallest company in the Russell 1000 Index. The Fund will invest primarily in a diversified portfolio of common stocks. Although the Fund will primarily draw its holdings from larger, more seasoned or established companies, it may also invest in companies of varying size as measured by assets, sales or market capitalization. The Fund may invest up to 20% of its total assets in American Depositary Receipts, which are certificates evidencing ownership of shares of a non-U.S. issuer that are issued by depositary banks and traded on U.S. exchanges.
Performance
The Fund underperformed the 14.44% return of the Russell 1000 Value Index. While favoritism in the marketplace shifted in significant ways during the 12-month period ended September 30, 2023 in aggregate it could be characterized as a generally lower quality environment (e.g., outperformance by companies with lower net profit margins and higher beta postures) where value underperformed growth. This market posture appeared more notable in large cap stocks given the significant demand for anything related to Artificial Intelligence, which was concentrated in mega cap tech stocks, many of which were in the value index over the past year but have since migrated out. Specifically, not owning Meta Platforms alone accounted for almost the entire detraction in the year.
The leading industries in terms of relative contribution to Large Cap Value portfolio’s relative return were Financials, Health Care and Real Estate. Within Financials, the portfolio’s overweight to the insurance sector, along with positive stock selection across the industry were the primary drivers of excess return, and further complemented by the Fund’s underweight exposure to banks. At the stock level, Arch Capital, a provider of property and casualty insurance and reinsurance, and Progressive Corporation, an auto insurer, were the top relative contributors. Arch moved higher, driven by continued strength in both their mortgage and specialty insurance segments, along with promising rate increases in the new year. Progressive shares recovered from an earlier sell-off in the year due to improving fundamentals and robust premium growth.
Within Health Care, stock selection drove results, primarily driven by positions in Merck and Regeneron, both pharmaceutical manufacturers. Both benefited from strong fundamental performance and extension of key blockbuster drugs. Lastly, Real Estate outperformance was purely driven by our underweight allocation to the industry.
The primary detractors from relative performance were Energy, Basic Materials and Consumer Staples. Within Energy, the Fund’s underweight to oil beta, and positions in Kinder Morgan, a midstream energy company, and Chesapeake, a natural gas producer, were the primary sources of detraction given their exposure to natural gas.
Within Basic Materials, the only detractor was Mosaic, a fertilizer producer. The stock struggled during the year because of a sharp decline in fertilizer prices. While we see a positive skew in the stock from potential for earnings to revert to mid-cycle norms, we sold the position into strength during the third quarter of 2023 to focus on higher risk/reward opportunities.
Lastly, within Consumer Staples, our detraction was attributable to CVS, a pharmacy operator and provider of various healthcare solutions, and Post Holdings, a diversified consumer packaged goods holding company. CVS sold off after management retreated on its medium-term earnings guidance and legislation was introduced targeting pharmacy benefit managers. Post had a positive return over the year but lagged the index. Post’s exposure to cereal, which is perceived as a secularly challenged category, may have been a contributing factor. The Fund continues to hold both stocks.

A. | Significant accounting policies related to Investments are as follows: |
INVESTMENT VALUATION
Investments are recorded at fair value. Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The valuation techniques employed by the Funds, as described below, maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs in determining fair value. These inputs are summarized in the following three broad levels:
• | | Level 1 — quoted prices in active markets for identical assets |
• | | Level 2 — other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices of similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.) |
• | | Level 3 — significant unobservable inputs (including the Fund’s own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments) |
The inputs or methodology used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities. For example, certain short-term debt securities may be valued using amortized cost. Generally, amortized cost approximates the current value of a security, but since this valuation is not obtained from a quoted price in an active market, such securities would be reflected as Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy.
Security prices are generally provided by a third party pricing service approved by the Trustees as of the close of the New York Stock Exchange, normally at 4:00 p.m. Eastern Time, each business day on which the share price of the Funds are calculated. Equity securities listed or traded on a primary exchange are valued at the closing price, if available, or the last sales price on the primary exchange. If no sale occurred on the valuation date, the securities will be valued at the latest quotations as of the close of the primary exchange. Closed-end investment companies, are valued at the last quoted sales prices or official closing prices taken from the primary market, or composite in which each security trades. Investments in other open-end registered investment companies, including money market funds, are valued at their respective net asset value as reported by such companies. In these types of situations, valuations are typically categorized as Level 1 in the fair value hierarchy.
Debt and other fixed income securities, if any, are generally valued at an evaluated price provided by an independent pricing source approved by the Trustees. To value debt securities, pricing services may use various pricing techniques, which take into account appropriate factors such as market activity, yield, quality, coupon rate, maturity, type of issue, trading characteristics, call features, credit ratings and other data, as well as broker quotes. Short-term debt securities of sufficient credit quality that mature within sixty days may be valued at amortized cost, which approximates fair value. In each of these situations, valuations are typically categorized as Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy.
The Trustees have designated JOHCM (USA) Inc, investment adviser to the Funds, as the Funds’Valuation Designee with responsibility for establishing fair value, in accordance with the Trust’s valuation policy, when the price of a security is not readily available or deemed unreliable (e.g., an approved pricing service did not provide a price, a furnished price was in error, certain stale prices, or an event occurred that materially affected the furnished price). In addition, fair value pricing may be used if events materially affecting the value of non-U.S. securities occur between the time when the exchange on which they are traded closes and the time when a Fund’s net asset value is

calculated. The Funds identify possible fluctuations in international securities by monitoring the increase or decrease in the value of a designated benchmark index. In the event of an increase or decrease greater than predetermined levels, the Funds generally use a systematic valuation model provided by an approved independent third party pricing service to fair value their international equity securities.
In the fair value situations noted above, while the Trust’s valuation policy is intended to result in a calculation of each Fund’s net asset value that fairly reflects security values as of the time of pricing, the Trust cannot ensure that fair values determined pursuant to these guidelines would accurately reflect the price that the Fund could obtain for a security if it were to dispose of that security as of the time of pricing (for instance, in a forced or distressed sale). The prices used by the Funds may differ from the value that would be realized if the securities were sold, and these differences could be material to the financial statements. Depending on the source and relative significance of the valuation inputs in these instances, the instruments may be classified as Level 2 or Level 3 in the fair value hierarchy.
The following is a summary of the valuation inputs used as of September 30, 2023 in valuing each Fund’s investments based upon the three fair value levels defined above:
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
| | | | | | | | Level 3 - | | | | |
| | | | | Level 2 - | | | Significant | | | | |
| | Level 1 - | | | Other Significant | | | Unobservable | | | | |

* | See additional categories in the Schedule of Investments. |
As of September 30, 2023, there were Level 3 investments held in certain Funds as noted above and in the corresponding Schedules of Investments. These investments relate to Russian securities held in certain Funds that halted from trading in 2022 when United States (“U.S.”) sanctions were imposed after the Russian invasion of Ukraine. There was no other Level 3 activity during the year. The value of these securities compared to each Fund’s total net assets is not material and, therefore, the reconciliation of Level 3 securities and related valuation techniques are not disclosed.
EQUITY-LINKED SECURITIES
The Funds may invest in equity-linked securities, also known as participation notes. The Funds may use these instruments as an alternate means to gain exposure to what is generally an emerging securities market, such as countries in which it does not have local accounts. These instruments represent interests in securities listed on certain foreign exchanges, and thus present similar risks to investing directly in such equity securities. These instruments are generally issued by the associates of foreign-based foreign brokerages and domestic institutional brokerages. Accordingly, the equity-linked securities also expose investors to counterparty risk, which is the risk that the entity issuing the note may not be able to honor its financial commitments.
At September 30, 2023, the Funds held equity-linked securities issued by counterparties as follows:

CURRENCY TRANSACTIONS
The functional and reporting currency for the Funds is the U.S. dollar. The market values of foreign securities, currency holdings and other assets and liabilities are translated into U.S. dollars based on the current exchange rates each business day. Purchases and sales of securities and income and expense items denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollars at the exchange rate in effect on the transaction date. The Funds do not separately report the effects of changes in foreign exchange rates from changes in market prices on securities held. Such changes are included in net realized and unrealized gains (losses) from investment activities on the Statements of Operations. The Funds may invest in foreign currency-denominated securities and may engage in foreign currency transactions either on a spot (cash) basis at the rate prevailing in the currency exchange market at the time or through a forward foreign currency contract. Realized foreign exchange gains or losses arising from sales of spot foreign currencies, currency gains or losses realized between the trade and settlement dates on securities transactions and the difference between the recorded amounts of dividends, interest, and foreign withholding taxes and the U.S. dollar equivalent of the amounts actually received or paid are included in net realized gains (losses) from foreign currency transactions on the Statements of Operations. Net unrealized foreign exchange gains (losses) arising from changes in foreign exchange rates on foreign denominated assets and liabilities other than investments in securities held at the end of the reporting period are included in Change in unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on foreign currency on the Statements of Operations.
The Funds may engage in spot currency transactions for the purpose of foreign security settlement and operational processes. Certain Funds are authorized to enter into forward foreign currency exchange contracts, for the purchase or sale of a specific foreign currency at a specified exchange rate on a future date as a hedge against either specific transactions or portfolio positions, or as a cross-hedge transaction or for speculative purposes. The objective of a Fund’s foreign currency hedging transactions is to reduce the risk that the U.S. dollar value of a Fund’s foreign currency denominated securities will decline in value due to change in foreign currency exchange rates. Changes in foreign currency exchange rates will affect the value of a Funds’ securities and the price of a Funds’ shares. Generally, when the value of the U.S. dollar rises in value relative to a foreign currency, an investment in that country loses value because that currency is worth fewer U.S. dollars. Devaluation of a currency by a country’s government or banking authority also may have a significant impact on the value of any investments denominated in that currency. Currency markets generally are not as regulated as securities markets.
All forward foreign currency exchange contracts are marked-to-market daily at the applicable exchange rates. Any unrealized gains or losses are recorded in Net change in unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on forward foreign currency exchange contracts in the Statements of Operations. Gains or losses are recorded for financial statement purposes as unrealized until settlement date. Realized gains or losses, if any, are included in Net realized gains (losses) on forward foreign exchange contracts in the Statements of Operations.
Risks may arise upon entering into these contracts from the potential inability of counterparties to meet the terms of their contracts and from unanticipated movements in the value of a foreign currency relative to the U.S. dollar. The contractual amounts of forward foreign currency exchange contracts do not necessarily represent the amounts potentially subject to risk. The Funds bear the market risk from changes in forward foreign currency exchange rates and the credit risk if the counterparty to the contract fails to perform. The institutions that deal in forward foreign currency exchange contracts are not required to continue to make markets in the currencies they trade and these markets can experience periods of illiquidity.
There were no forward currency exchange contracts as of or for the year ended September 30, 2023.
INVESTMENT TRANSACTIONS AND INCOME
Investment transactions are accounted for no later than one business day after trade date. For financial reporting purposes, investments are reported as of the trade date. The Funds determine the gain or loss realized from investment transactions by using an identified cost basis method. Interest income is recognized on an accrual basis and includes, where applicable, the amortization of premium or accretion of discount. Dividend income is recognized on the ex-dividend date. Dividends from foreign securities are recorded on the ex-dividend date, or as soon as the information is available, and reflect applicable foreign withholdings taxes and any related reclaim amounts. Non-cash dividends are recognized as investment income at the fair value of the asset received.

EXPENSE ALLOCATIONS
Expenses directly attributable to a Fund are charged to that Fund, while expenses that are attributable to more than one Fund are allocated among the applicable Funds on a pro-rata basis based on relative net assets or another reasonable basis. Certain expenses that arise in connection with a class of shares are charged to that class of shares.
The investment income, expenses (other than class-specific expenses charged to a class), and realized/unrealized gains/losses on investments are allocated to each class of shares based upon relative net assets on the date income is earned or expenses and realized/unrealized gains/losses are incurred.
DIVIDENDS AND DISTRIBUTIONS
Distributions of dividends from net investment income, if any, are declared and paid by the Funds as follows:
| | | | |
| | Declaration and Payment Frequency | |
JOHCM Emerging Markets Discovery Fund | | | Annually | |
JOHCM Emerging Markets Opportunities Fund | | | Annually | |
JOHCM Global Select Fund | | | Annually | |
JOHCM International Opportunities Fund | | | Annually | |

Regnan Global Equity Impact Solutions | | | Annually | |
TSW Emerging Markets Fund | | | Annually | |
TSW High Yield Bond Fund | | | Daily/Monthly | |
TSW Large Cap Value Fund | | | Quarterly | |
The Funds intend to distribute their net realized long-term capital gains and their net realized short-term capital gains at least once a year.
Distributions from net investment income and from net realized capital gain are determined in accordance with U.S. federal income tax regulations, which may differ from accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”). These “book/tax” differences are either considered temporary or permanent in nature. To the extent these differences are permanent in nature (e.g. treatment of certain dividend distributions, gains/losses, return of capital, etc.), such amounts are reclassified within the composition of net assets based on their U.S. federal tax-basis treatment; temporary differences do not require reclassification. Distributions to shareholders that exceed net investment income and net realized capital gains for tax purposes are reported as return of capital.
U.S. FEDERAL INCOME TAX INFORMATION
No provision is made for U.S. federal income taxes as each Fund intends to qualify each year as a “regulated investment company” under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), and distribute substantially all of its net investment income and net realized capital gain in accordance with the Code.
The Funds analyzed all open tax years, as defined by the applicable statute of limitations, for all major jurisdictions that remain subject to examination. The Funds’, excluding the TSW Large Cap Value Fund, U.S. federal income tax returns for the tax years ended September 30, 2020 through September 30, 2023, as applicable, remain subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service. The TSW Large Cap Value Fund’s U.S. federal income tax returns for the tax years ended October 31, 2020 through October 31, 2021, and for the tax years ended September 30, 2022 through September 30, 2023, remain subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service. Interest or penalties incurred, if any, on future unknown or uncertain tax positions taken by the Funds will be recorded as interest expense on the Statements of Operations.
Management is not aware of any tax positions for which it is reasonably possible that the total amounts of unrecognized tax benefits will significantly change in the next twelve months.

USE OF ESTIMATES
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from these estimates.
CAPITAL GAIN TAXES
Investments in certain foreign securities may subject the Funds to capital gain taxes on the disposal of those securities. Any capital gains assessed will reduce the proceeds received on the sale and be reflected in net realized gain/loss on the transaction. The Funds estimate and accrue foreign capital gain taxes on certain investments held which impact the amount of unrealized appreciation/depreciation on such investments. The JOHCM Emerging Markets Discovery Fund and JOHCM Emerging Markets Opportunities Fund paid $20,439 and $483,311, respectively, in capital gain taxes which are netted with any refunds received during the year. This amount is included in the net realized gains (losses) from investment transactions on the Statement of Operations.
OTHER RISKS
Securities markets outside the U.S., while growing in volume, have for the most part substantially less volume than U.S. markets, and many securities traded on these foreign markets are less liquid and their prices are more volatile than securities of comparable U.S. companies. In addition, settlement of trades in some non-U.S. markets is much slower and more subject to failure than in U.S. markets. Other risks associated with investing in foreign securities include, among other things, imposition of exchange control regulation by the U.S. or foreign governments, U.S. and foreign withholding taxes, limitations on the removal of funds or other assets, policies of governments with respect to possible nationalization of their industries, and economic or political instability in foreign nations. There may be less publicly available information about certain foreign companies than would be the case for comparable companies in the U.S., and certain foreign companies may not be subject to accounting, auditing and financial reporting standards and requirements comparable to or as uniform as those of U.S. companies.
Certain Funds may invest in emerging market securities. Investing in emerging market securities involves risks which are in addition to the usual risks inherent in foreign investments. These countries generally are located in the Asia and Pacific regions, the Middle East, Eastern Europe, Central America, South America and Africa. Some countries with emerging securities markets have experienced substantial, and in some periods extremely high, rates of inflation for many years. Inflation and rapid fluctuations in inflation rates have had and may continue to have negative effects on the economies and securities markets of certain countries. Moreover, the economies of some countries may differ favorably or unfavorably from the U.S. economy in such respects as rate of growth of gross domestic product, rate of inflation, capital reinvestment, resource self-sufficiency, number and depth of industries forming the economy’s base, condition and stability of financial institutions, governmental controls and investment restrictions that are subject to political change and balance of payments position. Further, a Fund may face greater difficulties or restrictions with respect to investments made in emerging markets countries than in the U.S. Satisfactory custodial services may not be available in some emerging markets countries, which may result in a Fund incurring additional costs and delays in the trading and custody of such securities.
Natural or environmental disasters, such as earthquakes, fires, floods, hurricanes, tsunamis and other severe weather-related phenomena generally, and widespread disease, including pandemics and epidemics, have been and may be highly disruptive to economies and markets, adversely impacting individual companies, sectors, industries, markets, currencies, interest and inflation rates, credit ratings, investor sentiment, and other factors affecting the value of a Fund’s investments. Given the increasing interdependence among global economies and markets, conditions in one country, market, or region are increasingly likely to adversely affect markets, issuers, and/or foreign exchange rates in other countries, for example, an epidemic or pandemic can result in travel restrictions, closed international borders, enhanced health screenings at ports of entry and elsewhere, disruption of and delays in healthcare service preparation and delivery, prolonged quarantines, cancellations, supply chain disruptions, and lower consumer demand, as well as general concern and uncertainty. All of these disruptive effects were present, for example, in the global pandemic linked to the outbreak of respiratory disease caused by a novel coronavirus designated as COVID-19 that was first reported in China in December 2019. The effects of any disease outbreak may be greater in countries with less developed disease prevention and control programs and may also exacerbate other pre-existing political, social, economic, market and financial risks. A pandemic and its effects may be short term or may last for an extended period of time, and

in either case can result in significant market volatility, exchange trading suspensions and closures, declines in global financial markets, higher default rates, and a substantial economic downturn or recession. Infectious illness outbreaks can adversely affect the economies of many nations or the entire global economy, individual issuers and capital markets in ways that cannot necessarily be foreseen. Any such events could have a significant adverse impact on the value of a Fund’s investments.
Specific risks vary greatly between the various Eastern European markets, but they include, among others, corporate governance, fiscal stability, banking regulations, European Union accession and continued membership, global commodity prices, political stability and market liquidity.
For example, in February 2022, Russia commenced a military invasion of Ukraine. This outbreak of hostilities could result in more widespread conflict and have a severe adverse effect on the region and the markets for securities and commodities. Russia’s invasion of Ukraine has led to, and may lead to, additional sanctions being levied by the United States, European Union and other countries and organizations against Russia and Belarus. Russia’s invasion and the resulting sanctions could adversely affect global energy, commodity and financial markets, and thus could affect the value of the Funds’ investments and broader global markets and economies, even beyond any direct exposure the Funds may have to Russian or Ukrainian issuers or the adjoining geographic regions. The extent and duration of the military action, sanctions and resulting market disruptions are impossible to predict, but could be substantial, and may put significant pressure on global financial systems, including on banks and custodians. The market capitalizations of many Russian companies have already experienced significant declines, and Russia closed its securities markets for an extended period of time, before reopening with limited trading. These market disruptions may result in the decline in the value and liquidity of Russian securities, devaluation of Russian currency, a downgrade in Russia’s credit rating, the inability to freely trade sanctioned companies (either due to the sanctions imposed or related operational issues) and/or other adverse consequences to the Russian economy, any of which could negatively impact a Fund’s investments in Russian securities. Sanctions could result in the immediate freeze of Russian securities, impairing the ability of a Fund to buy, sell, receive or deliver those securities. Both the current and potential future sanctions and other government actions against Russia also could result in Russia taking counter measures or retaliatory actions, which may impair further the value or liquidity of Russian securities and negatively impact a Fund or the broader global markets. Any or all of these potential results could lead Russian and other economic regions into a recession.

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

Basis for Opinions
These financial statements are the responsibility of the Funds’ management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Funds’ financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB) and are required to be independent with respect to the Funds in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our audits of these financial statements in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud.
Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of September 30, 2023 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.

As a Fund shareholder, you may incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees; distribution (12b-1) fees; and other Fund expenses. The examples below are intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Funds and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds. Please note that the expenses shown in the tables are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transactional costs. Therefore, the examples are useful in comparing ongoing costs only and will not help you determine the relative total cost of owning different funds. In addition, if these transactional costs were included, your costs would have been higher.
The examples below are based on an investment of $1,000 invested at April 1, 2023 and held for the entire period through September 30, 2023.
The Actual Expense Example below provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use this information, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the table under the heading entitled “Expenses Paid” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.
The Hypothetical Expense Example below provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on a Fund’s actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not a Fund’s actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Funds and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds.
