Dear Fellow Shareholders,
High-Level Thoughts
| ● | Interest rates have been near a two-decade high, and the market is forecasting rates to remain high for an extended period. |
| ● | Global debt levels have reached a record high, increasing over $50 trillion in the past three years alone. |
| ● | High-quality companies (i.e., companies with high Return on Assets (ROA)1 and low leverage) have outperformed the broader market consistently over time. |
| ● | Historically, the outperformance of high-quality companies over the broader market has been prominent during periods when interest rates are relatively high. |
| ● | The Grandeur portfolios have significantly better fundamentals than their respective benchmarks. |
The Burger Bill Comes Due
E.C. Segar’s early 20th century comic strip, Popeye the Sailor, features a character named J. Wellington Wimpy. Wimpy, as he is known, is a stout man with a serious hamburger addiction and no money. As a result, he is commonly found trying to entice others into buying him a hamburger today for payment on Tuesday. Fortunately for Wimpy, “Tuesday”, or the day of repayment never comes thus allowing him to run up what seems like an endless burger tab.
Segar leaves readers with many questions when it comes to Wimpy and his “pull forward” burger consumption tactics. For example, what are the financing terms of Wimpy’s arrangement? Surely, his cost of burger capital isn’t free. His credit worthiness must be abysmal. How do his lenders get comfortable with extending his credit line to consume more burgers when he already has a lot of burger leverage on his balance sheet? We must assume that at some point Wimpy’s burger bill will come due. When it does, it won’t be pretty for him or his creditors. He will have to do a burger detox and find another, less expensive, source of sustenance. Perhaps a steady diet of spinach is in Wimpy’s future?
Over the past 15 years, many of the world’s largest central banks have implemented monetary policies that have kept the cost of capital exceptionally low. These policies have incentivized governments, corporations, and households to employ a “buy now, pay later” consumption strategy that would give even someone like Wimpy great pause. As of June 30, 2023, the Institute of International Finance reported that total global debt was $307 trillion dollars, an increase of 19.36% or $53 trillion dollars in the past 3 years alone2.

FIGURE 1
Low interest rates combined with the aggressive stimulus pumped into the global economy by many fiscal and monetary policy makers at the onset of Covid resulted in a meaningful inflation increase that did not recede nearly as much as was initially expected. This prompted policy makers to rapidly increase interest rates to stem the inflationary pressures. Interest rates have now reached two-decade highs in many economies3.

FIGURE 2
While inflationary pressures have abated somewhat, inflation continues to trend well above central bank targets. As a result, consensus expectations are that short-term lending rates will stay elevated for an extended period. If they do remain high, it will present serious long-term problems for borrowers at every level that have large outstanding “burger bills”. When their bills come due, and some already have, the consequences will likely be much more severe than Wimpy’s burger detox.
Historically, high-quality companies, those with attributes such as high return on assets (ROA) and lower leverage, have significantly outperformed in markets where the cost of capital is high. Why? Because companies with high leverage experience a material increase in debt service costs which erodes company earnings. Furthermore, companies with lower ROAs that finance growth with debt are less incentivized to do so, which can also negatively impact earnings growth potential and ultimately stock price performance.
As illustrated in Figure 3 below, high-quality stocks, represented by the ACWI Quality index, have consistently outperformed the broad market over time. However, the level of outperformance has been three times higher during periods when the cost of capital is high, defined here as periods where the Fed Fund’s rate exceeds 2.5%4.

FIGURE 3
As seen in Figure 4, when interest rates are low, high-quality stocks realize or “capture” an average of 95% of the broader market’s monthly return when the return is positive. When the broader market’s monthly return is negative, high-quality stocks capture an average of 87% of the return. The differential between the upside capture percentage and the downside capture percentage, or the spread, is favorable at +8% when interest rates are low.
On the other hand, when interest rates are high, high-quality stocks capture an average of 114% of the market’s monthly return when it is positive and 88% when it is negative. So, the spread increases to +26%, a much more favorable outcome, with high-quality stocks capturing +19% more market upside without really sacrificing their lower downside capture5.
Grandeur Peak Funds® | Shareholder Letter |
| October 31, 2023 (Unaudited) |
FIGURE 4
The sizable increase observed historically in the upside/downside capture spread when interest rates are high suggests that balance sheet fundamentals matter much more in high-rate environments. During these periods, it is not nearly as easy for companies with lower returns on assets, which rely on debt financing, to grow their earnings. Put differently, when rates are high, the size of a company’s burger tab and its reliance on debt to sustain its burger habit (i.e., growth plan) are much more significant factors in its future success. As a result, lower quality companies can’t keep up with more fundamentally stable, high-quality companies and high-quality companies tend to outperform.
As the market adapts to a “higher for longer” interest rate environment, where the cost of borrowed capital is no longer cheap, there will be much more performance dispersion across markets. Sound fundamentals will likely be a more significant determinant of success than they have been in the “lower for longer” interest rate world we have invested in over most of the past 15 years. As a result, we believe actively managed, fundamentally driven investment strategies, such as the Grandeur Peak portfolios, should have a clear advantage over strategies that disregard the fundamentals.

Portfolio Thoughts
| ● | Quality: We believe our portfolios are sound, on an absolute and relative basis. Technical market turbulence continues to offer us opportunities to gain exposure to high-quality companies that have historically been too expensive to own. |
| ● | Value: Despite disappointing 2022 and YTD price performance, our portfolios’ captured earnings growth continues to be resilient. |
| ● | Momentum: Business momentum within our portfolios has slowed but not as much as the broader market and global economy. Our portfolios’ earnings growth has been positive year-to-date, in contrast to the MSCI ACWI Small Index, where earnings have fallen 10% over the same period. We expect momentum for our portfolio companies to pick up in 2024. |
| ● | Given our high-quality bias, we are positioned for a return to quality growth being rewarded, but we also believe our portfolios should perform well on a relative basis should we realize a pronounced slowdown in global economic growth. |
QUALITY
As illustrated in Figure 5, our portfolios consistently display stronger fundamentals than their respective benchmarks, namely higher ROA and lower debt. Last year’s sell-off in quality stocks allowed us to upgrade our portfolios’ overall quality. This has resulted in a more concentrated portfolio, with increased exposure to higher conviction names. In addition, we have been able to add some stocks on our “Watch-A” list to the portfolio. These are stocks with very high quality that we felt were previously too expensive to buy.

While quality is paramount throughout our portfolio, it may prove to be a more important risk factor in some sectors versus others given the current economic climate. For example, within the Financial sector broadly, we see a credit maturity wall coming, which could be painful for many small businesses and commercial real estate companies. We believe that numerous businesses previously had access to capital that they were likely not qualified for. Stricter lending standards and/or significantly higher borrowing costs will likely inflict pain on lower-quality companies. However, in our Financials portfolio, we are cautiously optimistic. We have shifted more risk-off over the course of the year, and we feel good about positioning for an economic slow-down. We’re avoiding investments with significant balance sheet risk, and we’re being careful to not overpay for our more growthy companies. Also, we believe our exposure is balanced enough so that we’ll keep up if the environment turns out to be better than expected.
The Consumer sector is another area where we remain very focused on owning high-quality names. Continued rate hikes and the combination of savings and aid programs drying up in the US and around the world have put many consumer businesses in more vulnerable positions. In building out the Consumer tranche within our portfolios, we have been very focused on understanding the sensitivities that each of our companies has to various potential economic environments, factoring in inflation, rates, consumer appetites, etc. With that understanding, we
Grandeur Peak Funds® | Shareholder Letter |
| October 31, 2023 (Unaudited) |
have tried to strike the right balance of exposure across Consumer Staple and Discretionary names so that our portfolio will hold up amid various economic outcomes. Furthermore, we currently feel that it is more defensive to own more Consumer names outside of the US vs. inside. The basis for this view is that we believe the worst parts of the late economic cycle are mostly behind international markets, while things feel more uncertain in the US. Regardless of shorter-term positioning, we have confidence in our Consumer portfolio due to the attractive valuations and captured earnings growth in our companies.
VALUE
As shown in Figure 6, small cap stocks have most recently been trading at a price-earnings multiple6 that is 25-30% less than the long-term historical average (27-28x). The modest increase we’ve seen in the MSCI ACWI Small Cap Index multiple from the end of 2022, from 17.4x to 19.9x, is the result of a -10.13% decline in the index’s earnings relative to only a -0.26% drop in its price.
FIGURE 6
The depressed multiples and market turbulence continue to allow us to find stocks that offer attractive relative value. For example, our team is currently very excited about opportunities to invest in the Japanese market, where small cap growth stocks have underperformed on the year. As a result, the country has become a major focus of screening and travel for our team. Over the last year, we’ve had more company touches in Japan than any other country except for the US. We feel that captured earnings growth there has not been properly rewarded as it should, but that it’s only a matter of time before it will be.

Some of the attractive investment opportunities we see within Health Care have come as a result of volatility stemming from impact GLP-1 drugs (e.g., Ozempic), Large swaths of the sector, particularly those areas tied to obesity and Type-2 diabetes, have been significantly impacted. It will take years to grasp the full extent to which these drugs may reshape the industry, but the current uncertainty is producing large stock price fluctuations. We believe that much of our exposure will likely benefit from the shifting dynamics within Health Care.
MOMENTUM
As previously noted, business momentum has slowed throughout the market this year, with earnings turning broadly negative year-to-date. We have seen the business momentum decline in our portfolio companies as well, however the slowdown has been much less pronounced. As illustrated in Figure 7, our portfolios continue to generate relatively strong, positive earnings growth amid slow market business momentum. Furthermore, we anticipate that momentum will pick back up in 2024 for our portfolio companies. As the momentum improves, we expect our portfolios to further distinguish their collective earnings strength.
FIGURE 7
One area within our portfolio where we have seen a significant decline in business momentum this year is in our Technology - Semiconductor names, which have detracted from performance. Business momentum within the space remains weak given excess inventories, but we believe we are getting close to an inflection point where things will turn favorably. In addition, we are starting to see some improvement in the monthly revenue numbers from some of our Taiwan-
Grandeur Peak Funds® | Shareholder Letter |
| October 31, 2023 (Unaudited) |
based semiconductor companies. While this is a welcome sign, the recovery has come quite a bit later than we initially expected.
Many companies within Industrials that were able to increase their prices over the last several years are now experiencing some margin compression off high-priced inventory while their pricing power weakens. While they have generally worked through much of their backlogs, new orders haven’t quite kept up. Purchasing Managers’ Index (PMI) numbers across the world are weakening, which is hurting investment and capital expenditure-driven companies. However, our focus on higher-quality names within the sector has allowed us to avoid much of the cyclical earnings downturn.
To summarize, within our Quality, Valuation, and Momentum (QVM) Framework, our current portfolios exhibit high Quality, attractive Valuation, and lower but relatively resilient Business Momentum. In an environment of heightened macroeconomic and geopolitical uncertainty, we believe we are positioned to lessen downside risks should market conditions deteriorate further without giving up significant upside potetnial. As Business Momentum improves, we believe our portfolio companies will further strengthen their businesses and deliver attractive earnings growth. Furthermore, as favorable price momentum returns to the market, we believe our portfolios will be in position to reward shareholders for their patience.
Notes from the Road
Mark Madsen, Portfolio Manager – Global Contrarian, Tyler Glauser, Portfolio Manager – Global Reach, Lead Analyst – Consumer, and Karson Schrader, Lead Analyst – Financials, met with 26 companies in Sau Paulo, Brazil. In addition to meeting with several companies on our Owned list, they also visited every Watch A company in the country. Our Watch A names are what we consider to be high-quality companies we would like to own but are currently too expensive.
Here are some key thoughts from Mark Madsen about the visit:
Tyler, Karson, and I took another trip to Brazil recently as the market has experienced several favorable macro trends recently.
Inflation has come down meaningfully to 5% after peaking out at 10.1% in 2021 and is expected to trend even lower in coming years. Also, the currency has been relatively stable and interest rates have come down from 13% to 9%. Many of the companies we met with were cautiously optimistic about the future.
The Brazilian equity market realized double digit declines in 2020 and 2021 but has bounced back in 2022 and YTD in 2023. So, while we see signs of positive price momentum, net returns are flat to slightly negative over the past four years.
Most companies we met with have business plans that are very dependent on the Brazilian economy for success. Few were focused on exports or expanding sales efforts outside of the country.
Grandeur Peak Funds® | Shareholder Letter |
| October 31, 2023 (Unaudited) |
Of the companies we visited, those that scored the highest were mostly service-oriented (e.g., investment management, payment processing, internet, etc.). A third of our visits felt like easy passes as we left – where neither the numbers nor the stories felt very compelling. The remaining two-thirds had a fairly balanced list of pluses and minuses, and we committed to follow them more closely in case the QVM profiles become more favorable.
It’s interesting to look at the differences and similarities between Brazil to India. Both countries have young populations and have had issues with corruption. Brazil is smaller geographically and GDP growth is slower, but it has more natural resources than India. Also, valuations on the ground level in Brazil seem much more reasonable than what we currently see in India.
In sum, we came back from the trip with heightened confidence in the companies we own in our portfolios and better understanding and appreciation for some of our Watch A names. While there are some great high-quality companies in Brazil that have real growth potential, Brazil continues to be a wildcard in our minds because of the challenge in assessing the currency risk. Will the Brazilian Real continue to be stable, or will it revert to being a volatile currency that has the potential to depreciate meaningfully and eat up solid investment returns? If the Brazilian government can maintain a stable currency for an extended period, it may eventually allow us to lower the currency risk premium we demand for investing in the Brazilian market and make the country a much more attractive area of our investment opportunity set.
Business Update
We completed the back-office provider transition for our mutual funds to Ultimus Fund Solutions. As a reminder, the reorganization of the Funds were non-taxable transactions for federal income tax purposes. The transition did not impact the ownership of Grandeur Peak Global Advisors, the composition of our team, or our investment research process.
We are happy to welcome Dane Nielson back to Salt Lake City after completing his MBA at Cambridge University in the UK. Dane continues his role as part of the Global Contrarian Fund team and as a member of the Resource Rich geography team. We appreciate the additional insights and expertise he brings to the firm from his educational experience.
As always, please feel free to reach out anytime with any questions, requests, or comments. We appreciate the opportunity to work on your behalf.

Grandeur Peak Funds® | Disclosure of Fund Expenses |
| October 31, 2023 (Unaudited) |
As a shareholder of a Fund, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including sales charges (loads) on purchases of Class A shares; and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees, distribution and/or service (12b-1) fees, and other Fund expenses. This example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in a Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds.
The example for Grandeur Peak Emerging Markets Opportunities Fund, Grandeur Peak Global Contrarian Fund, Grandeur Peak Global Explorer Fund, Grandeur Peak Global Micro Cap Fund, Grandeur Peak Global Opportunities Fund, Grandeur Peak Global Reach Fund, Grandeur Peak Global Stalwarts Fund, Grandeur Peak International Opportunities Fund, Grandeur Peak International Stalwarts Fund, and Grandeur Peak US Stalwarts Fund is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period from May 1, 2023 through October 31, 2023.
Actual Expenses
The “Actual” columns in the table below provide information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information below, 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 During Period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.
Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes
The “Hypothetical” columns in the table below provide information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the actual expense ratio of each of Grandeur Peak Emerging Markets Opportunities Fund, Grandeur Peak Global Contrarian Fund, Grandeur Peak Global Explorer Fund, Grandeur Peak Global Micro Cap Fund, Grandeur Peak Global Opportunities Fund, Grandeur Peak Global Reach Fund, Grandeur Peak Global Stalwarts Fund, Grandeur Peak International Opportunities Fund, Grandeur Peak International Stalwarts Fund, and Grandeur Peak US Stalwarts Fund and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Funds’ actual returns. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balances or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of other funds.
Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transactional costs, such as sales charges (loads), or redemption fees. Therefore, the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds.

| 2. | SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES |
The following is a summary of significant accounting policies followed by the Funds in preparation of their financial statements. The policies are in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”). The preparation of the financial statements 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 income and expenses for the year then ended. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Each Fund is an investment company and accordingly follows the investment company accounting and reporting guidance of the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification Topic 946 “Financial Services Investment Companies” including Accounting Standards Update 2013-08.
a. Investment Valuation – The Funds record their investments at fair value. In determining each Fund’s Net Asset Value (“NAV”) per share as of the close of the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”), currently 4:00 pm Eastern Time (“ET”) (the “Valuation Time”), securities traded on one or more securities exchanges. for which market quotations are readily available are valued at current market value using the last reported sales price. NASDAQ traded securities are valued using the NASDAQ Official Closing Price (“NOCP”). If no sale price is reported, the mean between the current bid and ask is used. Securities not traded or dealt in on any securities exchange and for which over-the-counter market (whether domestic or foreign) quotations are readily available generally shall be valued at the last sale price or, in the absence of a sale, at the current mean price on such over-the-counter market, (and if there is only a bid or only an ask price on such date, valuation will be at such bid or ask price for long or short positions, respectively).
The value of foreign currencies and of foreign securities whose value is quoted or calculated in a foreign currency shall be converted into US dollars based on foreign exchange rates provided by a major banking institution(s) or currency dealer(s) selected by the pricing agent providing such price, or by the Advisor in the case of securities for which the Advisor provides a fair value determination, at 4:00 pm ET or the nearest time prior to the Valuation Time, at which such foreign currency quotations are available.
The Funds may invest in warrants to participate in an anticipated increase in the market value of the security. A warrant entitles the holder to buy a security at a set price during a set period of time. If such market value increases, the warrant may be exercised and sold at a gain. A loss will be incurred if the market value decreases or if the term of the warrant expires before it is exercised. Warrants convey no rights to dividends or voting. An implied pricing method is used to value the rights.
When such prices or quotations are not available, or when Grandeur Peak Global Advisers, LLC (the “Advisor” or “Grandeur Park”) believes that they are unreliable, securities may be priced using the Trust’s fair value procedures.
Grandeur Peak Funds® | Notes to Financial Statements |
| October 31, 2023 (Unaudited) |
Money market-type instruments that have a remaining maturity of 60 days or less are valued at bid prices from a pricing vendor, unless the Advisor believes another valuation is more appropriate.
Forward currency contracts shall be valued at the forward currency contract rates, determined at 4:00 pm ET or the nearest time prior to the Valuation Time, provided by a bank or dealer that the pricing agent or, if applicable, the Advisor believes to be reliable.
The Funds may hold investments, such as private investments, interests in commodity pools, other non-traded securities or temporarily illiquid securities, for which market quotations are not readily available or are determined to be unreliable. These securities will be valued using the “fair value” procedures approved by the Board. The Board has delegated execution of these procedures to the Adviser as its valuation designee (the “Valuation Designee”). The Board may also enlist third party consultants such a valuation specialist at a public accounting firm, valuation consultant or financial officer of a security issuer on an as-needed basis to assist the Valuation Designee in determining a security-specific fair value. The Board is responsible for reviewing and approving fair value methodologies utilized by the Valuation Designee, which approval shall be based upon whether the Valuation Designee followed the valuation procedures established by the Board.
Fair Valuation Process – The applicable investments are valued by the Valuation Designee pursuant to valuation procedures established by the Board. For example, fair value determinations are required for the following securities: (i) securities for which market quotations are insufficient or not readily available on a particular business day (including securities for which there is a short and temporary lapse in the provision of a price by the regular pricing source); (ii) securities for which, in the judgment of the Valuation Designee, the prices or values available do not represent the fair value of the instrument; factors which may cause the Valuation Designee to make such a judgment include, but are not limited to, the following: only a bid price or an asked price is available; the spread between bid and asked prices is substantial; the frequency of sales; the thinness of the market; the size of reported trades; and actions of the securities markets, such as the suspension or limitation of trading; (iii) securities determined to be illiquid; and (iv) securities with respect to which an event that will affect the value thereof has occurred (a “significant event”) since the closing prices were established on the principal exchange on which they are traded, but prior to a Fund’s calculation of its net asset value. Specifically, interests in commodity pools or managed futures pools are valued on a daily basis by reference to the closing market prices of each futures contract or other asset held by a pool, as adjusted for pool expenses. Restricted or illiquid investments, such as private investments or non-traded securities are valued based upon the current bid for the security from two or more independent dealers or other parties reasonably familiar with the facts and circumstances of the security (who should take into consideration all relevant factors as may be appropriate under the circumstances). If a current bid from such independent dealers or other independent parties is unavailable, the Valuation Designee shall determine, the fair value of such security using the following factors: (i) the type of security; (ii) the cost at date of purchase; (iii) the size and nature of the Fund’s holdings; (iv) the discount from market value of unrestricted securities of the same class at the time of purchase and subsequent thereto; (v) information as to any transactions or offers with respect to the security; (vi) the nature and duration of restrictions on disposition of the security and the existence of any registration rights; (vii) how the yield of the security compares to similar securities of companies of similar or equal creditworthiness; (viii) the level of recent trades of similar or comparable securities; (ix) the liquidity characteristics of the security; (x) current market conditions; and (xi) the market value of any securities into which the security is convertible or exchangeable.
The Funds utilize various methods to measure the fair value of most of their investments on a recurring basis. GAAP establishes a hierarchy that prioritizes inputs to valuation methods. The three levels of input are:
Level 1 – Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities.
Level 2 – Observable inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly. These inputs may include quoted prices for the identical instrument on an inactive market, prices for similar instruments, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, yield curves, default rates and similar data.
Level 3 – Unobservable inputs for the asset or liability, to the extent relevant observable inputs are not available, representing the Funds’ own assumptions about the assumptions a market participant would use in valuing the asset or liability, and would be based on the best information available.
The availability of observable inputs can vary from security to security and is affected by a wide variety of factors, including, for example, the type of security, whether the security is new and not yet established in the marketplace, the liquidity of markets and other characteristics particular to the security. To the extent that valuation is based on models or inputs that are less observable or unobservable in the market, the determination of fair value requires more judgment. Accordingly, the degree of judgment exercised in determining fair value is greatest for instruments categorized in Level 3.

The inputs used to measure fair value may fall into different levels of the fair value hierarchy. In such cases, for disclosure purposes, the level in the fair value hierarchy within which the fair value measurement falls in its entirety, is determined based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety. The inputs or methodology used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities.
The inputs or methodology used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities. The following tables summarize the inputs used for the six months ended as of October 31, 2023, for the Funds’ assets and liabilities measured at fair value:

b. Exchange Traded Funds – The Funds may invest in exchange traded funds (“ETFs”). ETFs are a type of fund bought and sold on a securities exchange. An ETF trades like common stock and represents a fixed portfolio of securities. The risks of owning an ETF generally reflect the risks of owning the underlying securities they are designed to track, although the lack of liquidity in an ETF could result in it being more volatile. Additionally, ETFs have fees and expenses that reduce their value.
c. Security Transactions and Related Income – Security transactions are accounted for on a trade date basis. Interest income is recognized on an accrual basis. Discounts are accreted and premiums are amortized on securities purchased over the lives of the respective securities using the effective interest method. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date. Realized gains or losses from sales of securities are determined by comparing the identified cost of the security lot sold with the net sales proceeds.

d. Foreign Securities Risk - Investing in securities of foreign issuers and currency transactions may involve certain considerations and risks not typically associated with investments in the United States. These risks include revaluation of currencies, adverse fluctuations in foreign currency values and possible adverse political, social and economic developments, including those particular to a specific industry, country or region. These conditions could cause the securities and their markets to be less liquid and prices more volatile than those of comparable US companies and US government securities.
e. Foreign Currency Translations – The books and records of the Funds are maintained in US dollars. The market values of securities which are not traded in US currency are recorded in the financial statements after translation to US dollars based on the applicable exchange rates at the end of the period. The costs of such securities are translated at exchange rates prevailing when acquired. Related interest, dividends and withholding taxes are accrued at the rates of exchange prevailing on the respective dates of such transactions.
Net realized gains and losses on foreign currency transactions represent net gains and losses from currency realized between the trade and settlement dates on securities transactions and the difference between income accrued versus income received. The effect of changes in foreign currency exchange rates on investments in securities are included with the net realized and unrealized gain or loss on investment securities.
f. Forward Foreign Currency Contracts – As foreign securities are purchased and sold, the Funds may enter into forward foreign currency contracts in order to hedge against foreign currency exchange rate risks. The market value of the contracts fluctuate with changes in currency exchange rates. The contract is marked-to-market daily and the change in market value is recorded by the Funds as an unrealized gain or loss. As foreign securities are sold, a portion of the contract is generally closed and the Funds record a realized gain or loss equal to the difference between the value of the contract at the time it was opened and the value at the time it was closed.
A Fund investing in forward foreign currency contracts is exposed to risk if the value of the currency changes unfavorably, if the counterparties to the contracts are unable to meet the terms of their contracts or if the Fund is unable to enter into a closing position. There were no forward foreign currency contracts outstanding, as of October 31, 2023.
g. Special Purpose Vehicle - The Funds may invest in a Special Purpose Vehicle (a “SPV”). A SPV is a separate legal entity created by an organization. The SPV is a distinct company with its own assets and liabilities, as well as its own legal status. Usually, they are created for a specific objective, often to isolate financial risk. As it is a separate legal entity, if the parent company goes bankrupt, the special purpose vehicle can carry on.
h. Cash Management Transactions – The Funds subscribe to the Brown Brothers Harriman & Co. (“BBH”) Cash Management Service (“CMS”), whereby cash balances are automatically swept into overnight offshore demand deposits with either the BBH Grand Cayman branch or a branch of a pre-approved commercial bank. This fully automated program allows the Funds to earn interest on cash balances. Excess cash with deposit institutions domiciled outside of the U.S. are subject to sovereign actions in the jurisdiction of the deposit institution including, but not limited to, freeze, seizure or diminution. Cash balances in the BBH CMS are included on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities under Cash and Foreign Cash, at Value. As of October 31, 2023, the Funds had the following cash balances participating in the BBH CMS:
Fund | | | | |
Grandeur Peak Emerging Markets Opportunities Fund | | $ | 62,717 | |

i. Federal Income Taxes – It is each Fund’s policy to continue to comply with all sections of the Internal Revenue Code applicable to regulated investment companies and to distribute all of its taxable income and gains, if any, to its shareholders and therefore, no provision for federal income tax has been made. Each Fund is treated as a separate taxpayer for federal income tax purposes. The Funds recognize the tax benefits of uncertain tax positions only when the position is “more likely than not” to be sustained assuming examination by tax authorities. Management has analyzed the Funds’ tax positions and has concluded that no liability for unrecognized tax benefits should be recorded related to uncertain tax positions taken on returns filed for open tax years of 2021 through 2023, or expected to be taken in the Funds’ April 30, 2024 year-end tax returns. The Funds identify their major tax jurisdiction as US federal, Ohio and foreign jurisdictions where a Fund makes significant investments. No Fund is aware of any tax positions for which it is reasonably possible that the total amounts of unrecognized tax benefits will change materially in the next twelve months. The Funds recognize interest and penalties, if any, related to unrecognized tax benefits as income tax expense in the Statements of Operations. During the six months ended October 31, 2023, the Funds did not incur any interest or penalties.
j. Distributions to Shareholders – It is each Fund’s policy to distribute its respective net investment income and net capital gains, if any, annually. Distributions of net investment income and net capital gains are determined in accordance with income tax regulations which may differ from GAAP. Differences in dividends from net investment income per share between the classes are due to service and distribution related expenses. Dividends and distributions to shareholders are recorded on the ex-date.
k. Class Accounting – Each class represents an interest in the same assets of the Fund and classes are identical except for differences in their sales charge structures, ongoing service fees and distribution charges. All classes of shares of a Fund have equal voting privileges with respect to such Fund except that each class has exclusive voting rights with respect to its service and/or distribution plans. A Fund’s income, expenses (other than class specific distribution and service fees) and realized and unrealized gains and losses are allocated proportionately each day based upon the relative net assets of each class of such Fund.
l. Foreign Taxes – Withholding taxes on foreign dividends have been provided for in accordance with the Trust’s understanding of the applicable country’s tax rules and rates. Each Fund may be subject to foreign taxes (a portion of which may be reclaimable) on income.
m. Indemnification – The Trust indemnifies its officers and the Board for certain liabilities that may arise from the performance of their duties to the Trust. Additionally, in the normal course of business, the Funds enter into contracts that contain a variety of representations and warranties and which provide general indemnities. The Funds’ maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown, as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Funds that have not yet occurred. However, based on experience, the risk of loss due to these warranties and indemnities appears to be remote.
n. Expenses – Expenses of the Trust that are directly identifiable to a specific fund are charged to that fund. Expenses which are not readily identifiable to a specific fund, are allocated in such a manner as deemed equitable, taking into consideration the nature and type of expense and the relative sizes of the funds in the Trust.
o. Market Risk – The value of each Fund’s portfolio holdings may fluctuate in response to events specific to the companies or markets in which the Fund invests, as well as economic, political, or social events in the United States or abroad. Each Fund is subject to the risk that the securities markets will move down, sometimes rapidly and unpredictably, based on overall economic conditions and other factors, which may negatively affect the Fund’s performance. Securities markets may experience long periods of decline in value.

Local, state, regional, national or global events such as war, acts of terrorism, the spread of infectious illness or other public health issues, recessions, or other events could have a significant impact on a Fund and its investments and could result in decreases to the Fund’s net asset value. Political, geopolitical, natural and other events, including war, terrorism, trade disputes, government shutdowns, market closures, natural and environmental disasters, climate change and climate-related events, epidemics, pandemics and other public health crises and related events and governments’ reactions to such events have led, and in the future may lead, to economic uncertainty, decreased economic activity, increased market volatility and other disruptive effects on U.S. and global economies and markets. Such events may have significant adverse direct or indirect effects on a Fund and its investments. For example, a widespread health crisis such as a global pandemic could cause substantial market volatility, exchange trading suspensions and closures, impact the ability to complete redemptions, and affect Fund performance. A health crisis may exacerbate other preexisting political, social and economic risks. In addition, the increasing interconnectedness of markets around the world may result in many markets being affected by events or conditions in a single country or region or events affecting a single or small number of issuers.
| 3. | INVESTMENT ADVISORY AGREEMENT AND TRANSACTIONS WITH RELATED PARTIES |
a. Management Fees – The Advisor serves as each Fund’s investment advisor. Pursuant to an investment advisory agreement with the Trust, on behalf of the Funds, the Advisor, subject to the oversight of the Board and in conformity with the stated policies of the Funds, manages all business activities of the Funds. As compensation for its services, each Fund pays the Advisor an annual management fee based on each Fund’s average daily net assets, accrued daily and paid monthly.

Economies of Scale. The Board discussed the anticipated size of each Fund and their respective prospects for growth. The Board noted the Adviser’s position that it had competitively priced its management fee at inception in order to effectively provide the benefits of economies to shareholders prior to achieving scale.

Profitability.

The Board recognized that the Adviser expected to realize a reasonable profit over the initial term of the Advisory Agreement with respect to each Fund except that the Adviser expected to manage Global Explorer at a loss over the initial term of the Advisory Agreement. The Board acknowledged the overhead and expenses required to manage each Fund and the capacity constraints of each Fund. After further discussion, the Board concluded that the Adviser’s estimated profits for each Fund, both in terms of actual dollars and as a percent of total revenue, would not be excessive.
Conclusion. Having requested and received such information from the Adviser as the Board believed to be reasonably necessary to evaluate the terms of the Advisory Agreement, and as assisted by the advice of counsel, the Board concluded that approval of the Advisory Agreement was in the best interest of future shareholders of each Fund.
