Westcore Funds | Shareholder Letter |
June 30, 2017 (Unaudited)
Dear Fellow Shareholders,
Equity markets showed strength across the board in the first six months of 2017. The S&P 500® Index and the Dow Jones Industrial Average each rose more than 9%, the Nasdaq Composite Index gained 14.07%, and international stocks, as represented by the MSCI ACWI Index, gained 11.48%. Various factors contributed to the strong first half, including improving economies, strengthening corporate earnings, and low volatility in the U.S., European, and Asian stock markets.
Many sectors performed well on the domestic front. The health care, industrials, and financials sectors produced positive returns. Financial stocks in the S&P 500® Index have led all sectors since the Presidential election. Another positive sector was information technology, which fueled the Nasdaq. On the downside, energy and telecommunication services posted negative returns for both the second quarter and year‐to‐date. In the first half, stocks of larger companies performed better than stocks of smaller companies, and growth outperformed value.
U.S. bond yields declined even as the Federal Reserve increased the short‐term federal‐funds target rate two times this year. The second increase, which occurred in June, pushed the rate up another 0.25% and marked the fourth rate hike since the end of 2015. These rate increases reflect the Fed’s apparent view that economic growth will continue and inflation is likely to rise. However, skepticism remains in the markets. U.S. inflation measures dropped from 1.8% in February to 1.4% in June, both of which are short of the Federal Reserve’s desired goal of 2%. Weaker measures of inflation, such as these, can cause bond yields to decline, and when that occurs, bond prices rise. Given this environment in the first half of the year, U.S. bonds generally produced stable to slightly positive returns.
The municipal bond market saw yields decrease during the second quarter. The 10‐year AAA rated municipal bond yield fell from 2.25% to 1.96%.
As noted above, international markets performed well in the first six months of the year. Investors focused on signs of global economic recovery while keeping a watchful eye on the intentions signaled by central banks. Increased demand strengthened foreign currencies and as they grew stronger, the U.S. dollar weakened.
For more information on the first half of the year and how your Westcore Funds performed, please see the following pages. In addition, the Westcore Fund family is very proud of recent awards received by our value and fixed income funds. To learn more about these awards, please visit our website at www.westcore.com.
As we navigate these ever‐changing markets, you, our shareholders, are our priority.
Thank you for investing in the Westcore Funds.

Performance data quoted represents past performance and does not guarantee future results. Current performance may be lower or higher than the performance quoted. To obtain current performance as of the most recent month-end, visit www.westcore.com. Average annual total returns reflect the reinvestment of dividends, capital gains distributions, all fee waivers and expense reimbursements. Without the fee waivers and expense reimbursements, total return figures would have been lower. Investment return and principal value will vary, and shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. Westcore fund shares are not insured by the FDIC, the Federal Reserve Board or any other agency and are subject to investment risk.
Denver Investments (the “Adviser”) has contractually agreed to waive certain investment advisory and/or administration fees and/or to reimburse other expenses from April 30, 2017 until at least April 30, 2018. The first waiver/reimbursement applies so that the ratio of expenses to average net assets, as reported in the Fund’s Financial Highlights, will be no more than 1.24% for the Fund’s Retail Class for such period. The second waiver/ reimbursement applies so that Fund level Other Expenses for the Institutional Class will be in the same proportion as the Retail Class waivers/ reimbursements. The third waiver/reimbursement applies so that the institutional class-specific Other Expenses are reimbursed. The Adviser has contractually agreed to waive/ reimburse all of these class-specific Other Expenses, but only to the extent that the difference between the net Institutional Class and net Retail Class expense ratios, after applying the waiver/reimbursement, does not exceed 25 basis points. These agreements may not be terminated or modified by the Adviser prior to April 30, 2018 without the approval of the Board of Trustees.
Investing in small-cap funds generally will be more volatile and loss of principal could be greater than investing in larger-cap funds.

Westcore Small-Cap Growth Fund | Fund Overview |
June 30, 2017 (Unaudited)
Manager Commentary
Market Overview
For the first six months of 2017, the Russell 2000® Growth Index returned 9.97%, while the Russell 2000® Value Index returned 0.54%. Looking back, the last twelve months have been quite a stylistic roller coaster and, interestingly, after the Russell 2000® Value Index’s post-election rally in the fourth quarter of 2016, followed by the Russell 2000® Growth Index’s rally in 2017, the two indexes have performed nearly identically for the last twelve months, returning approximately 25% each. Taking a step back, this has been a remarkable bull market for equities.
Fund Performance
For the first half of 2017, the Westcore Small-Cap Growth Fund outperformed its benchmark, returning 15.89% (retail class) compared to the Russell 2000® Growth Index’s 9.97% return for the same period.
Contributors to Return
The three sectors that contributed most to the Fund’s performance relative to its benchmark in the first half of 2017 were information technology, health care, and industrials. The Fund’s best-performing stock in the period was Advisory Board Co., which provides performance improvement software and solutions to the health care and higher education industries. The stock outperformed largely based on speculation that the company would be acquired. Regardless of whether a transaction comes to fruition in the near term, we believe in the company’s long-term growth opportunities and its competitive positioning. Also outperforming in the first half of the year was Intersect ENT, Inc., a medical device company focused on therapies for patients suffering from chronic sinusitis. The stock outperformed during the first half as near-term reimbursement concerns abated. As the market for chronic sinusitis therapies continues to expand, we are excited about the potential for Intersect’s currently available and pipeline products. Another top contributor was LendingTree, Inc., the premier lead-generation company for the lending industry. LendingTree continued to gain market share in the industry and expand its product set.
Detractors from Return
The three sectors that detracted most from the Fund’s performance relative to its benchmark in the first half of 2017 were energy,
telecommunication services, and real estate. The Fund’s worst-performing stock in the period was PDC Energy, Inc., an exploration and production company focused on operations in the Niobrara Formation and Permian Basin. Regulatory concerns in Colorado drove the stock’s underperformance. We believe, however, that the issues will prove transitory and have limited impact on the company’s long-term growth prospects. PDC has, in our opinion, continued to execute well and grow production. IMAX Corp., a leader in film technologies, was also a significant drag on the Fund’s performance in the first half of 2017. Despite a strong growth rate for new IMAX installations, the company suffered as global box office sales for films have been consistently weak. We believe the growth opportunity for IMAX screens remains robust, especially in China. Recent cost reductions and stock buyback authorization should, in our opinion, help support the stock at its current valuation. Microsemi Corp., a provider of semiconductors to the aerospace and defense, communications, data center, and industrial markets, was also weak in the first half of the year. In particular, concerns regarding optical equipment spending in China hampered the stock. In our opinion, Microsemi remains attractive due to its robust growth profile, tailwinds across nearly all segments of its business, and significant cash-flow generation.
Outlook and Positioning
As of the end of the first half of 2017, the Fund was overweighted in the consumer discretionary and financials sectors and underweighted primarily in the health care and industrials sectors.
The current economic recovery remains one of the longest on record, now sitting at 96 months. We still believe that we are in the later innings of an economic cycle. Despite this, the economy has continued to chug along at a relatively low-growth rate and we believe this favors strong growth companies that are less dependent on economic growth or cyclical trends. However, in our opinion, valuations have become increasingly difficult to justify in some of the higher-growth areas of the market. As a result, we have been actively executing our risk management disciplines by trimming or exiting positions in some of the more expensive areas of the market as they achieve our price targets.

At the end of the period, the Westcore Small-Cap Growth Fund II received a settlement payment from a stock that was held in the Fund several years ago, prior to its change in investment strategy on December 27, 2016.

Performance data quoted represents past performance and does not guarantee future results. Performance information for the institutional class shares prior to their inception is based on the performance of the retail class. Current performance may be lower or higher than the performance quoted. To obtain current performance as of the most recent month-end, visit www.westcore.com. Average annual total returns reflect the reinvestment of dividends, capital gains distributions, all fee waivers and expense reimbursements. Without the fee waivers and expense reimbursements, total return figures would have been lower. Investment return and principal value will vary, and shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. Westcore fund shares are not insured by the FDIC, the Federal Reserve Board or any other agency and are subject to investment risk.
Denver Investments (the “Adviser”) has contractually agreed to waive the investment advisory and/or administration fees and/or to reimburse other expenses from April 30, 2017 until at least April 30, 2018, so that the ratio of expenses to average net assets as reported in the Fund’s Financial Highlights will be no more than 1.15% for the Fund’s Retail Class for such period. The second waiver/reimbursement applies so that Fund level Other Expenses for the Institutional Class will be in the same proportion as the Retail Class waivers/reimbursements. The third waiver/reimbursement applies so that the institutional class-specific Other Expenses are reimbursed. The Adviser has contractually agreed to waive/reimburse all of these class-specific Other Expenses, but only to the extent that the difference between the net Institutional Class and net Retail Class expense ratios, after applying the waiver/ reimbursement, does not exceed 25 basis points. This agreement may not be terminated or modified by the Adviser prior to April 30, 2018 without the approval of the Board of Trustees.
Investing in mid-cap funds generally will be more volatile and loss of principal could be greater than investing in large-cap funds.
Dividends are not guaranteed. A company’s future abilities to pay dividends may be limited and a company may cease paying dividends at any time.

Westcore Mid-Cap Value Dividend Fund | Fund Overview |
June 30, 2017 (Unaudited)
Manager Commentary
Market Overview
U.S. equity markets experienced a strong start to the year, driven by expectations of accelerated economic growth, but value stocks took a pause in the second quarter as reality did not meet those lofty near-term expectations. Excitement around the pro-business policies of the new administration took a back seat following the failure to pass the American Health Care Act of 2017 and the announced investigation into ties between President Trump’s campaign and Russian officials. These issues drove market fears that the new administration would be unable to implement policy changes. At the same time, the outlook for inflation dimmed and other economic indicators began to signal the potential for a slowdown, despite the Federal Reserve’s apparent optimism as it raised rates for the fourth time since December 2015. As a result of a more subdued outlook for U.S. economic growth, growth stocks (which have historically been less economically sensitive than value stocks) outperformed value stocks year-to-date. Additionally, investors shifted assets to larger capitalization companies and to more defensive sectors, such as health care and utilities, and away from more cyclical sectors, such as energy and basic materials.
Fund Performance
The Westcore Mid-Cap Value Dividend Fund returned 0.95% (retail class) for the six months ended June 30, 2017, underperforming its benchmark, the Russell Midcap® Value Index, which returned 5.18% for the same period. The Fund was positioned more heavily in the smaller capitalization portion of the mid-cap universe where we have found more value over the past few years. As investors’ preferences shifted toward larger capitalization companies, this created a headwind for the Fund. However, the primary driver of underperformance year-to-date was stock selection.
Contributors to Return
The sectors that contributed most to the Fund’s performance relative to its benchmark were medical/healthcare and REITs. The Fund’s individual top performers were led by CyrusOne, Inc., a provider of mission-critical data center facilities. As it logged one of its strongest leasing quarters on record, the company announced solid financial results, which included increased full-year guidance for earnings estimates. Lam Research Corp. was also among the Fund’s strongest contributors. This semiconductor equipment company, benefited from robust demand for its 3D NAND flash storage technology, which helped drive strong financial results. Grifols SA, is a pharmaceutical company that primarily provides plasma-based therapeutics. The company reported continued improvement in the financial
performance of its bioscience division and improving margins following a period of significant capacity expansion investment. Pharmaceutical distribution company AmerisourceBergen Corp. was a solid contributor due to better-than-expected industry pricing dynamics. PVH Corp., a designer and marketer of branded dress shirts, produced strong financial results despite the backdrop of a difficult retail environment. The company revised guidance for earnings estimates up given the strength of its global brands and corresponding business momentum.
Detractors from Return
The Fund’s weakest sectors relative to its benchmark were interest rate sensitive, consumer, and technology. AmTrust Financial Services, Inc., a provider of insurance services primarily to small businesses, was the Fund’s largest individual detractor. During the second quarter, the Wall Street Journal published a story involving alleged accounting issues at AmTrust in 2013 and 2014. Although this information had been revealed previously, investors reacted anew and the stock underperformed. Noble Energy, Inc., an oil and gas exploration and production company, succumbed to market uncertainty about oil prices. This was coupled with a competitor incident in Colorado that heightened sensitivity to regulatory risk. Another energy holding, oil and gas producer SM Energy Co., also faced continued pressure from the uncertain oil price environment. We believe the market is overly penalizing the company and we are optimistic given its recent Permian Basin asset purchase. Foot Locker, Inc., a global retailer of athletic shoes and apparel, was the Fund’s largest detractor in the consumer sector. The retail environment continued to be challenging and Foot Locker was no exception. After missing quarterly financial estimates, news that Nike had decided to go direct through Amazon further pressured Footlocker’s shares. Avnet, Inc. was the Fund’s weakest performer in the technology sector. This electronics and components distributor posted sales shortfalls that were caused by consolidation of its suppliers. Additionally, increased costs associated with implementation of its process management software system contributed to the company’s disappointing financial results.
Outlook and Positioning
Looking ahead, we are excited about the opportunities that market and sector volatility may produce. As political, economic and market uncertainty continue, we will remain focused on finding dividend-paying stocks that we believe have sound fundamentals and are currently mispriced by the markets.

Westcore Smid-Cap Value Dividend Fund | Fund Overview |
June 30, 2017 (Unaudited)

U.S. equity markets experienced a strong start to the year, driven by expectations of accelerated economic growth, but value stocks took a pause in the second quarter as reality did not meet those lofty near-term expectations.

Additionally, investors shifted assets to larger capitalization companies and to more defensive sectors, such as health care and utilities, and away from more cyclical sectors, such as energy and basic materials.
Fund Performance
The Westcore Smid-Cap Value Dividend Fund returned -0.70% (retail class) for the six months ended June 30, 2017, underperforming its benchmark, the Russell 2500TM Value Index, which returned 1.95% over the same period.
Contributors to Return
The sectors that contributed most to the Fund’s performance relative to its benchmark were energy, REITs, and medical/healthcare. The Fund’s individual top performers were led by CyrusOne, Inc., a provider of mission-critical data center facilities. The company logged one of its strongest leasing quarters on record and announced solid financial results, which included increased full-year guidance for earnings estimates. Animal health and mineral nutrition company Phibro Animal Health Corp. posted better-than-expected results, driven by strong performance in its nutritional products and vaccines business units. GEO Group, Inc., a developer, owner, and operator of prisons and post-release services, was another strong contributor. Its solid performance was driven by a favorable outlook for Federal use of private prisons and by solid financial results. Realogy Holdings Corp.
is a residential real estate and brokerage company. It posted strong financial results due to recent improvements in technology solutions and talent retention, which resulted in share price appreciation. Lam Research Corp. was also among the Fund’s strongest performers. This semiconductor equipment company benefited from robust demand for its 3D NAND flash storage technology, which helped drive strong financial results.
Detractors from Return
The Fund’s weakest sectors relative to its benchmark were consumer, interest rate sensitive, and technology. AmTrust Financial Services, Inc., a provider of insurance services primarily to small businesses, was the Fund’s largest individual detractor. During the second quarter, the Wall Street Journal published a story involving alleged accounting issues at AmTrust in 2013 and 2014. Although this information had been revealed previously, investors reacted anew and the stock underperformed. Oil and gas producer SM Energy Co. continued to face pressure from the uncertain oil price environment. We believe the market is overly penalizing the company and are optimistic given its recent Permian Basin asset purchase. Specialty fashion retailer Cato Corp. was another detractor. It experienced share price weakness as the company continued its effort to fix past merchandising missteps against the backdrop of a difficult retail environment. Dairy processor and distributor Dean Foods Co. also detracted from performance. Its financial results missed consensus expectations and concerns around potential competitive industry pricing with new retail grocery entrants into the U.S. market pressured the stock. AMC Entertainment Holdings, Inc., an owner and operator of movie theaters, was another drag on the Fund’s performance. Difficult box office sales and ongoing negotiations around Premium Video on Demand (PVOD) pricing led to its underperformance.

Westcore Small-Cap Value Dividend Fund | Fund Overview |
June 30, 2017 (Unaudited)
Manager Commentary
Market Overview
U.S. equity markets experienced a strong start to the year, driven by expectations of accelerated economic growth, but value stocks took a pause in the second quarter as reality did not meet those lofty near-term expectations. Excitement around the pro-business policies of the new administration took a back seat following the failure to pass the American Health Care Act of 2017 and the announced investigation into ties between President Trump’s campaign and Russian officials. These issues drove market fears that the new administration would be unable to implement policy changes. At the same time, the outlook for inflation dimmed and other economic indicators began to signal the potential for a slowdown, despite the Federal Reserve’s apparent optimism as it raised rates for the fourth time since December 2015. As a result of a more subdued outlook for U.S. economic growth, growth stocks (which have historically been less economically sensitive than value stocks) outperformed value stocks year-to-date. Additionally, investors shifted assets to larger capitalization companies and to more defensive sectors, such as health care and utilities, and away from more cyclical sectors, such as energy and basic materials.
Fund Performance
The Westcore Small-Cap Value Dividend Fund returned -2.56% (retail class) for the six months ended June 30, 2017, underperforming its benchmark, the Russell 2000® Value Index, which returned 0.54% for the same period.
Contributors to Return
The sectors that contributed most to the Fund’s performance relative to its benchmark were REITs, energy, and utilities. The Fund’s individual top performers were led by REIT sector holdings CyrusOne, Inc. and GEO Group, Inc. CyrusOne is a provider of mission-critical data center facilities. The company logged one of its strongest leasing quarters on record and announced solid financial results, which included increased full-year guidance for earnings estimates. GEO Group is a developer, owner, and operator of prisons and post-release services. Its strong performance was driven by a favorable outlook for Federal use of private prisons and by solid financial results. National food supplier AdvancePierre Foods Holdings, Inc. is a producer of ready-to-eat sandwiches, sandwich components, and other entrees and snacks. The company’s strong return and cash-flow improvement potential caught the attention of Tyson Foods, Inc. and in the second quarter
it was announced that Tyson would acquire AdvancePierre. Animal health and mineral nutrition company Phibro Animal Health Corp. posted better-than-expected results, driven by strong performance in its nutritional products and vaccines business units. Realogy Holdings Corp. is a residential real estate and brokerage company. It posted strong financial results due to recent improvements in technology solutions and talent retention, which resulted in share price appreciation.
Detractors from Return
The Fund’s weakest sectors relative to its benchmark were capital goods, interest rate sensitive, and consumer. From an individual stock perspective, SM Energy Co. detracted most from the Fund’s performance. This oil and gas producer continued to face pressure from the uncertain oil price environment. We believe the market is overly penalizing the company and are optimistic given its recent Permian Basin asset purchase. The Fund’s largest detractor within the interest rate sensitive sector was AmTrust Financial Services, Inc., a provider of insurance services primarily to small businesses. During the second quarter, the Wall Street Journal published a story involving alleged accounting issues at AmTrust in 2013 and 2014. Although this information had been revealed previously, investors reacted anew and the stock underperformed. Dairy processor and distributor Dean Foods Co. also detracted from performance. Its financial results missed consensus expectations and concerns around potential competitive industry pricing with new retail grocery entrants into the U.S. market pressured the stock. Engineering and construction company Chicago Bridge & Iron Co. was another drag on performance. A continuation of project cost overruns resulted in disappointing quarterly results. This, coupled with a dearth of new project awards, led to share price weakness. AMC Entertainment Holdings, Inc., an owner and operator of movie theaters, was another detractor in the period. Difficult box office sales and ongoing negotiations around Premium Video on Demand (PVOD) pricing led to its underperformance.
Outlook and Positioning
Looking ahead, we are excited about the opportunities that market and sector volatility may produce. As political, economic, and market uncertainty continue, we will remain focused on finding dividend-paying stocks that we believe have sound fundamentals and are currently mispriced by the markets.

Westcore Global Large-Cap Dividend Fund | Fund Overview |
June 30, 2017 (Unaudited)
Manager Commentary
Market Overview
U.S. equity markets experienced a strong start to the year, driven by expectations of accelerated economic growth, while other global markets played catch-up in the second quarter. In the United States, excitement around the pro-business policies of the new administration took a backseat following the failure to pass the American Health Care Act of 2017 and the announced investigation into ties between President Trump’s campaign and Russian officials. These issues drove market fears that the new administration would be unable to implement policy changes. At the same time, European markets began to see greater policy certainty through the arrival of long-anticipated election results in France and the United Kingdom.
Fund Performance
The Westcore Global Large-Cap Dividend Fund returned 10.16% (retail class) for the six months ended June 30, 2017, underperforming its benchmark, the Russell Developed Large-Cap Index, which returned 10.63% for the same period.
Contributors to Return
The sectors that contributed most to the Fund’s performance relative to the benchmark were consumer staples, industrials, and health care. The Fund’s top performers were led by CSX Corp., a provider of rail-based transportation services in the United States and Canada. The company generated strong network and customer performance metrics and management raised its outlook on productivity objectives. Mobile device and personal computer manufacturer Apple, Inc. posted solid financial results supported by robust demand for iPhone 7 models and strength in its services business. This, coupled with growing excitement around the iPhone 8 launch, led to the stock’s outperformance. Global health and nutrition manufacturer Bayer AG contributed to performance as the company announced strong results that were driven by each of its business segments. McDonald’s Corp., a global fast food retailer, posted solid financial results that highlighted market share gains in key markets and underscored its global footprint. Also among the Fund’s top contributors was global
tobacco company, British American Tobacco PLC. The company posted steady sales and earnings results, coupled with the announced acquisition of Reynolds American Inc., which should provide plenty of opportunities for synergy.
Detractors from Return
The Fund’s weakest sectors relative to the benchmark were information technology, consumer discretionary and telecommunication services. The Fund’s largest detractor was Brambles, Ltd. a global provider of pallet and other container solutions for companies to transport goods. Performance was weighed down by pricing pressure and higher costs resulting from network inefficiencies. Mattel, Inc., a manufacturer and marketer of a broad variety of toy products, was another significant detractor. After two consecutive quarters of weak results driven by too much inventory, new management updated forward earnings expectations and reduced its dividend payout to fund growth initiatives. Digital telecommunications company QUALCOMM, Inc. was negatively impacted by legal issues with two large customers. Although risk remains as QUALCOMM navigates remaining litigation with one customer, we believe the company retains a defendable intellectual property portfolio, with a durable royalty base. BT Group PLC, a British telecommunications provider, weighed on performance as increased pension liabilities created by a change in accounting methodology and a decrease in its dividend growth outlook pressured the share price. Exploration and production company Occidental Petroleum Corp. was another headwind to performance in the period. The outlook for oil prices remained uncertain as a recent recovery of supply output from Africa and unrelenting growth of supply from U.S. shale undermined OPEC-orchestrated output reductions.
Outlook and Positioning
Looking ahead, we are excited about the opportunities that market and sector volatility may produce. As political, economic, and market uncertainty continue, we will remain focused on finding dividend-paying stocks that we believe have sound fundamentals and are currently mispriced by the markets.

Westcore Large-Cap Dividend Fund | Fund Overview |
| June 30, 2017 (Unaudited) |
Manager Commentary
Market Overview
U.S. equity markets experienced a strong start to the year, driven by expectations of accelerated economic growth, but value stocks took a pause in the second quarter as reality did not meet those lofty near-term expectations. Excitement around the pro-business policies of the new administration took a back seat following the failure to pass the American Health Care Act of 2017, and the announced investigation into ties between President Trump’s campaign and Russian officials. These issues drove market fears that the new administration would be unable to implement policy changes. At the same time, the outlook for inflation dimmed and other economic indicators began to signal the potential for a slowdown, despite the Federal Reserve’s apparent optimism as it raised rates for the fourth time since December 2015. As a result of a more subdued outlook for U.S. economic growth, growth stocks (which have historically been less economically sensitive than value stocks) outperformed value stocks. Additionally, investors shifted assets to larger capitalization companies and to more defensive sectors, such as health care and utilities, and away from more cyclical sectors, such as energy and basic materials.
Fund Performance
The Westcore Large-Cap Dividend Fund returned 5.90% (retail class) for the six months ended June 30, 2017, underperforming its benchmark, the Russell 1000® Index, which returned 9.27% over the same period.
Contributors to Return
The sectors that contributed most to the Fund’s performance relative to its benchmark were industrials, energy, and telecommunications services. The Fund’s top performers were led by CSX Corp., a provider of rail-based transportation services in the United States and Canada. The company generated strong network and customer performance metrics and management raised its outlook on productivity objectives. McDonald’s Corp., a global fast food retailer, posted solid financial results that highlighted market share gains in key markets and underscored its strong global footprint. Mobile device and personal computer manufacturer Apple, Inc. posted solid financial results supported by robust demand for iPhone 7 models and strength in its services business. This, coupled with growing excitement around the iPhone 8 launch, led to the stock’s outperformance. Global consumer goods company Nestle SA was another strong performer
in the period. The company announced slightly better-than-expected financial results under the leadership of a new CEO. These results were driven by improved growth, and the continued recovery in Asia and Europe. Global biopharmaceutical company AbbVie, Inc. added to the Fund’s performance with solid financial results that exhibited continued strong growth from its lead product, Humira.
Detractors from Return
The Fund’s weakest sectors relative to its benchmark were consumer discretionary, information technology, and health care. The Fund’s three largest detractors in the period were consumer discretionary sector holdings Target Corp., Mattel, Inc., and Ralph Lauren Corp. Target, owner and operator Target stores, is in the early stages of a transformation strategy that requires significant investment across all areas of the business. This had a downward effect on earnings. Mattel, a manufacturer and marketer of a broad variety of toy products, reported two consecutive quarters of weak results attributable to too much inventory. New management updated forward earnings expectations and reduced its dividend payout to fund growth initiatives. Ralph Lauren, a designer, marketer, and distributor of premium lifestyle products, also detracted from performance in the period. The surprise departure of its CEO, Stefan Larsson, who was the architect behind recent turnaround plans presented by the company led to share price weakness. Digital telecommunications company QUALCOMM, Inc. was negatively impacted by legal issues with two large customers. Although risk remains as QUALCOMM navigates remaining litigation with one customer, we believe the company retains a defendable intellectual property portfolio, with a durable royalty base. Exploration and production company, Occidental Petroleum Corp. was another headwind to performance in the period. The outlook for oil prices remained uncertain as a recent recovery of supply output from Africa and unrelenting growth of supply from U.S. shale undermining OPEC-orchestrated output reductions.
Outlook and Positioning
Looking ahead, we are excited about the opportunities that market and sector volatility may produce. As political, economic, and market uncertainty continue, we will remain focused on finding dividend-paying stocks that we believe have sound fundamentals and are currently mispriced by the markets.

Westcore Micro-Cap Opportunity Fund | Fund Overview |
| June 30, 2017 (Unaudited) |
Manager Commentary
Market Overview
Micro-cap stocks got off to a rocky start in 2017 as the post-election euphoria that drove performance at the end of 2016 wavered a bit. For the first three months of 2017, the Russell Microcap® Index returned a meager 0.38%. In the second quarter, however, micro-cap stocks rebounded with the Russell Microcap® Index returning 3.83% for the three months ended June 30. In the first half of the year, stocks that we view as expensive generally outperformed, while companies with high cash flow to price and other positive valuation metrics underperformed. Stocks with high return on equity also underperformed. From a trading standpoint, stocks with higher volatility and higher historical trading volume outperformed less-volatile and less-liquid stocks. Additionally, companies that have historically grown revenues, or are forecasted to do so over the next two years, outperformed slower-growth companies.
Fund Performance
The Westcore Micro-Cap Opportunity Fund returned 0.11% for the first half of the year, underperforming the 4.23% return over the same period of its benchmark, the Russell Microcap® Index. The models used to help manage and select stocks for the Fund provided mixed results for the first six months of 2017. On an absolute basis only 3 of the 11 sectors in the Fund provided positive returns for the period. The Fund outperformed the benchmark in 4 out of 11 sectors.
Contributors to Return
The Fund’s best-performing sectors relative to the benchmark were energy, health care, and materials. Pennsylvania-based OraSure Technologies, Inc. was the Fund’s top contributor in the period. This medical device company landed a major new customer, Helix, which allowed the firm to gain additional traction in its DNA Genotek, Inc. business. Also among the Fund’s best-performing holdings was Fortress Biotech, Inc., a biopharmaceutical company dedicated to creating a portfolio of novel pharmaceutical and biotechnology products. The company reported better-than-expected annual results for 2016. MiMedx Group, Inc., a biopharmaceutical company that
delivers innovative bioactive healing products for tissue regeneration, was another strong performer. The company reported better-than-expected results for the first quarter.
Detractors from Return
The Fund’s weakest sectors relative to the benchmark were information technology, financials, and telecommunications services. The Fund’s largest individual detractor in the first half of 2017 was Bristow Group, Inc. Bristow is a provider of industrial aviation services, including helicopter transportation, search and rescue, and aircraft support services, primarily to the offshore oil and gas industry. The company reported disappointing earnings for its fiscal fourth quarter and, with oil prices down and the offshore market showing few signs of near-term recovery, management forecast little improvement for fiscal year 2018. Another holding impacted by low oil prices was Atwood Oceanics, Inc. This offshore drilling contractor headquartered in Houston, Texas struggled in the first half of the year as offshore drillers continued to be hampered by low oil prices. DHI Group, Inc., a leading provider of data, insights, and employment connections to specialized professional communities also underperformed during the first half of the year. The stock struggled after the company announced that it had concluded its exploration of alternative ownership options and would continue to operate independently.
Outlook and Positioning
Despite the uncertainty around the timing of pro-growth policy changes proposed by the new administration, stock market volatility remains at extremely low levels. Additionally, we see continued signs of optimism for small companies. Non-residential fixed investment spending increased by 11% in the second quarter of 2017. This suggests that increased optimism among CEOs and CFOs is translating into actual activity. U.S. consumer confidence also remains high. While it certainly does not appear to be a low-risk environment for stocks, particularly as valuations have increased in recent years, we are still finding some micro-cap stocks that we believe are reasonably priced.

The second and third sentences of footnote (2) above otherwise remain in full force and effect. The Adviser may discontinue this voluntary waiver at any time upon notice to the Trust.
Investing in small-cap funds generally will be more volatile and loss of principal could be greater than investing in larger-cap funds.
Investing in foreign securities entails special risks, such as currency fluctuations and political uncertainties, which are described in more detail in the prospectus.

Westcore International Small-Cap Fund | Fund Overview |
June 30, 2017 (Unaudited)
Manager Commentary
Market Overview
Global equity markets, both developed and emerging, were generally strong in the first half of 2017. Despite headwinds created by geopolitical uncertainty in specific regions, earnings growth appeared to be leading stocks higher. Interestingly, volatility remained low, even as the risk of media coverage having an adverse impact on markets was highlighted on an almost daily basis. Generally, stocks were exceptionally strong at the beginning of the second quarter but were showing weakness by quarter-end. This may be an indication that global geopolitical headlines are beginning to factor into investors’ appetite for global equities.
Fund Performance
The Westcore International Small-Cap Fund participated in the favorable global equity environment and returned 15.19% (retail class) for the first half of the year. This, however, underperformed its benchmark, the MSCI ACWI ex USA Index, which was up 15.56% over the same period. From a geographic perspective, companies in Japan and Sweden were the strongest contributors to the Fund’s performance for the half, while stocks in the United Kingdom and Israel were its most significant detractors.
Contributors to Return
At the company level, Arcland Service Holdings Co., Ltd. and Qualicorp SA were among the Fund’s largest contributors relative to its benchmark. Arcland is a Japan-based operator of mostly fast casual deep-fried tonkatsu (pork cutlet) restaurants. Profits have been growing at a double-digit rate as it offers quality meals at a reasonable price through its low-cost operating structure. Using state-of-the-art deep fryers, Arcland can produce consistent quality tonkatsu at a fast rate with fewer employees than its competitors. We anticipate that store openings, same-store sales growth, and new restaurant formats should continue to drive growth. Brazil-based Qualicorp, an intermediary between health and dental insurers and companies offering these benefits to employees, was another contributor to performance. It benefited from being one of the first companies to serve the affinity market, which are companies or organizations
that have common interests and have partnered to create a larger consumer base. This has given Qualicorp scale that can benefit its clients when negotiating with insurers. We believe that the company will continue to prosper from the growing affinity market.
Detractors from Return
Stocks that detracted from the Fund’s performance for the period include Sapiens International Corp. and Utilitywise PLC. Sapiens, headquartered in Israel, is a global provider of software solutions for the insurance industry. In addition to software development, Sapiens has distinguished itself from major competitors by also managing the delivery and implementation of its software. During the half, Sapiens trimmed its guidance for 2017 earnings estimates following the loss of a major client. We have spoken to management about this client loss and have conducted additional research. The company’s business model remains intact and we believe demand for its software and services should continue to grow over the medium to long term. Utilitywise is a United Kingdom-based consultant to businesses regarding energy and water consumption. It focuses on helping small and medium-sizes enterprise businesses procure better utility rates as its negotiating power with the utility companies is often stronger than these companies could get on their own. Recently, shares have been under pressure due to management changes and the prospect of weakening consumption by some clients. The management changes, along with deteriorating working capital, led us to exit the position.
Outlook and Positioning
Despite the negative news from a couple of detractors, we are quite optimistic about the Fund’s positioning based on the number of holdings that have grown revenue and earnings over the past quarter. In our experience, companies rarely grow consistently quarter after quarter or year after year. We monitor the revenue and earnings evolution of all of the Fund’s holdings and are encouraged that the majority are experiencing meaningful growth in both areas. Our hope is that the Fund’s holdings will continue to post operational strength, which we expect will translate into performance success.

Westcore Flexible Income Fund | Fund Overview |
June 30, 2017 (Unaudited)
Manager Commentary
Market Overview
The rally in higher risk securities that began in the fourth quarter of 2016 continued in the first six months of 2017. The stock market, as measured by the Russell 3000® Index, generated a solid return of 8.93%. The Federal Reserve increased the Fed Funds rate twice in the first half of the year. The first was a 0.25% increase in March and was followed by another widely anticipated 0.25% increase in June. The interest rate market was seemingly less bullish than the Federal Reserve and equity investors. This was evidenced by the yield curve continuing to flatten as short-term rates (i.e. the Fed Funds rate) moved higher and long-term rates moved lower. For example, the 10-year U.S. Treasury was down from 2.44% on December 31, 2016, to 2.30% on June 30, 2017. Oil prices, which continued to be a barometer of the high-yield market, fell another 14.3% during the first half of 2017. The trailing twelve-month high-yield default rate continued to move lower from 6.90% at December 31, 2016, to 4.43% as of June 30, 2017, indicative of improving issuer fundamentals and a supportive market for new high-yield issues. Against this backdrop, the Bloomberg Barclays U.S. Corporate High Yield Index posted positive returns in five of the first six months of the year and outperformed investment grade corporate bonds. At the sector level, health care and financials outperformed. Underperforming sectors included retail, which had a particularly challenging first quarter in which high-yield retailer bonds fell 1.27%, and energy, which fell 1.16% in the second quarter. From a quality perspective, risk was in vogue as the Bloomberg Barclays U.S. Corporate High Yield Caa Index posted a 6.59% return for the first half, while the Bloomberg Barclays U.S. Corporate High Yield Ba Index was up 4.79%.
Fund Performance
The Westcore Flexible Income Fund’s 4.09% (retail class) return for the first half lagged the 4.79% return recorded by its benchmark, the Bloomberg Barclays U.S. Corporate High Yield Ba Index, over the same period. The Fund benefited as several of its holdings received upgrades from high-yield credit ratings to investment-grade credit
ratings in the first half. Unfortunately, these benefits were more than offset by the Fund’s shorter duration and its energy sector positions, which ultimately led to its underperformance.
Outlook and Positioning
High-yield credit spreads (the additional yield over Treasuries offered by high-yield bonds) continued to tighten during the first half of 2017 and again approached the post-2008 lows established in mid-2014. Issuer fundamentals showed improvement when first quarter results were finalized, but overall leverage levels in the high-yield market currently remain elevated. In our view, we’ve passed the peak in balance sheet improvement for high-yield securities, except for a few commodity sectors and one-off situations. Increased political uncertainty has had a mild positive impact on bond markets as corporate America has started to take a “wait and see” approach while awaiting details regarding tax reform, regulatory reform, etc. We believe the key drivers of market valuations will likely be (1) the speed with which the Federal Reserve normalizes policy, (2) global investor appetite for fixed income assets, (3) results out of Washington D.C, and (4) the pace at which corporate America re-leverages balance sheets. We generally expect moderate outcomes on each of these fronts, but believe we have positioned the Fund appropriately if dislocations occur and the situation warrants.
We position the Fund with a longer-term investment orientation and an emphasis on higher-quality high-yield bonds. The goal of which is reducing the Fund’s volatility while providing solid risk-adjusted returns over time. Our process entails intensive credit analysis by which we evaluate yield versus risk through business cycles, and it follows that a larger weighting of higher-rated, high-yield issues is a logical result. Most importantly, we believe this strategy is suitable over the long term for shareholders who want comparative yield from a high-yield fund, but who are also more sensitive to volatility and more focused on capital preservation.

Westcore Plus Bond Fund | Fund Overview |
June 30, 2017 (Unaudited)
Manager Commentary
Market Overview
While the Federal Reserve was busy raising short-term interest rates in both March and June of this year, the market was equally busy lowering long-term interest rates. The result was a much flatter yield curve and a new emerging bond market conundrum. While we are not yet close to the dreaded inverted yield curve, which would signal an impending recession, it is quite remarkable that long-term rates continued to fall during the initial stages of a Federal Reserve rate-hiking cycle. The Federal Reserve appeared focused on a strengthening economy and the likelihood of rising inflation. Markets, however, remained skeptical as hopes faded that the new administration would produce imminent and meaningful tax reform or the anticipated fiscal stimulus from infrastructure spending. Meanwhile, stocks continued to reach new all-time highs and corporate bonds performed very well as investors embraced additional risk in anticipation of better returns and higher income levels. To us, it is a bit of a conundrum that optimism has led stocks to all-time highs and tighter spreads for high-yield corporate bonds (spreads are the additional yield over Treasuries offered by bonds) while, at the same time, the interest rate market seems to be forecasting slowing growth and continued low inflation. Investors seem more and more comfortable accepting the longevity of the current low-rate environment, with its minimal volatility that rewards risk takers of all forms. Perhaps we really are in the Goldilocks days where all indicators are “just right” and there is nothing to worry about.
Fund Performance
The Westcore Plus Bond Fund’s return of 3.04% (retail class) for the first six months of 2017, outperformed its benchmark, the Bloomberg Barclays U.S. Aggregate Bond Index, which generated 2.27% for the same period. The excess return was a result of the enhanced income-oriented positioning of the Fund relative to the benchmark. The Fund continued to benefit from its overweighted exposure to corporate and taxable municipal bonds through the accompanying yield advantage, as well as the spread tightening throughout the first half of the year. The strong relative performance of the Fund’s high-yield holdings, while limited in allocation, also augmented performance.
Outlook and Positioning
The prevailing economic outlook is for modest, but positive growth, and slowly rising inflation. At June 30, unemployment remained at cycle lows even as the labor force increased, with displaced workers
slowly returning to the workforce. The lack of strong wage increases remains a mystery as a scarcity of skilled workers in specific industries becomes more pronounced and unfilled positions accumulate. The Federal Reserve appears to believe that tight labor markets will imminently lead to rising real wages and then quickly into rising inflation as those cost pressures are pushed through to consumers. This strength in the U.S. economy is also evident in European, Asian and emerging markets, in what many are calling a synchronized global expansion. The appearance of tranquility and calm pervading the markets has us on high alert for the inflection point that would alter this outlook. Much will depend on the actions of central banks as they reduce their support of financial conditions through the unwinding of the unprecedented quantitative easing and bond buying of recent years. U.S. fixed income securities continue to look attractive versus those available elsewhere in today’s global marketplace, particularly the significantly lower and even negative rates offered in European and Japanese bond markets.
We believe the Fund is positioned to perform well over time and within the volatile environments that often arise across financial markets. The Fund is constructed with overweighted positions in shorter maturity “spread” sectors and a duration that is slightly shorter than the benchmark. This positioning is intended to capture higher income levels, while also being slightly more protective if we do see modest interest rate increases. We are also cognizant that a fall in interest rates is plausible if the pendulum of economic data swings back to the weaker side, a flight to quality is caused by another global crisis, or there is a sudden decline in stock prices. Recognizing that we are late in an already extended positive credit cycle, we have positioned the Fund with overweighted positions in carefully selected income-producing securities, including mortgage-backed securities as well as corporate and municipal bonds. These tactics are designed to enable performance over multiple interest rate and economic scenarios. We have increased our focus on quality and liquidity in an effort to mitigate negative credit events and market dislocations that could adversely impact portfolios. We believe our rigorous credit selection process is particularly valuable at this point in the credit cycle when it is critically important to assess valuations, as well as differentiate creditworthiness and long-term stability of each of our holdings. While we are concerned about the volatility and the recent spike in short-term rates, we are not convinced the market is quickly headed to significantly higher long-term interest rates.

Westcore Municipal Opportunities Fund | Fund Overview |
June 30, 2017 (Unaudited)
Manager Commentary
Market Overview
Apart from a couple of starts and stops, the 10-year AAA municipal rate moved steadily lower over the first half of the year. Perhaps the most startling takeaway from the last six months was the disappearance of volatility within the municipal markets. One likely reason for the relative calm was a lack of supply of municipal bonds as issuance of new bonds has not kept up with the quantity of maturing and called bonds. Additionally, it is becoming apparent that many of the large initiatives that were anticipated after the November elections will come to fruition only slowly and in more diluted forms, if at all. This lack of political initiatives also supported lower volatility.
Rates and Ratios: The 10-year AAA rated municipal bond yield fell to 1.96% as of June 30, 2017. The low for the first half of the year was 1.82% and would likely have finished there if not for a bit of a selloff in the final days of June.
Municipal Bond Fund Flows: Flows into the municipal market were strong as political initiatives were delayed and performance was positive. Thomson Reuters Lipper reported inflows of $5.3 billion into municipal bond funds for the year-to-date through June 30. This represents an increase of approximately 0.78% in total assets in municipal bond funds in the United States.
Municipal Credit Events: Illinois’ credit rating was downgraded to within one notch of “junk” bond status by Moody’s Investors Service and S&P Global Ratings. We could be entering uncharted waters. If Illinois’ credit rating is further downgraded, it would be the first instance in which the credit of a U.S. state was junk rated. Currently
states, unlike nearly all other municipal entities, do not have the ability to enter bankruptcy. Illinois, however, may be the first to challenge this, as the state certainly appears to be in need of relief.
Connecticut’s credit rating was also downgraded by multiple credit agencies in the quarter. This may come as a surprise to many as the state has one of the highest earnings per capita in the United States. It is another example of how years and years of underfunding pensions and other long-term liabilities can stack up.
Fund Performance
The Westcore Municipal Opportunities Fund returned 4.91% (retail class) for the first half of the year. This compares to a return of 3.21% by its benchmark, the Bloomberg Barclays U.S. 1-15 Year Municipal Bond Index, over the same period.
Outlook and Positioning
Credit Positioning: Our outlook for municipal bonds remains positive as slow, steady growth since the 2008 recession has made its way into municipal revenues. We remain more bullish on revenue bonds and issuers who have limited exposure to long-term liabilities.
Duration: The Fund’s effective duration as of June 30, 2017 was 6.5 years and its average maturity was 13.5 years. This is a longer effective duration and maturity than the benchmark had as of June 30, 2017.
As of June 30, 2017, no individual holdings within the Fund were taxable to those shareholders subject to the Alternative Minimum Tax (AMT).

One likely reason for the relative calm was a lack of supply of municipal bonds as issuance of new bonds has not kept up with the quantity of maturing and called bonds. Additionally, it is becoming apparent that many of the large initiatives that were anticipated after the November elections will come to fruition only slowly and in more diluted forms, if at all. This lack of political initiatives also supported lower volatility.
Rates and Ratios: The 10-year AAA rated municipal bond yield fell to 1.96% as of June 30, 2017. The low for the first half of the year was 1.82% and would likely have finished there if not for a bit of a selloff in the final days of June.
Municipal Bond Fund Flows: Flows into the municipal market were strong as political initiatives were delayed and performance was positive. Thomson Reuters Lipper reported inflows of $5.3 billion into municipal bond funds for the year-to-date through June 30. This represents an increase of approximately 0.78% in total assets in municipal bond funds in the United States.
Colorado Issuance: Through the second quarter of 2017, issuance of new Colorado municipal bonds totaled approximately $1.6 billion across 59 offerings. The largest of which was a $188 million offering for further development and expansion of the Centerra Metropolitan
District between Greely and Loveland. The second largest offering was by the Colorado Highway Performance Transportation Authority. This $162 million issuance will finance the building of managed lanes along C-470 where it connects with I-25. As many of us living in metro Denver can attest, this is an area of major congestion, so we will be interested to see the project develop.
Fund Performance
The Westcore Colorado Tax-Exempt Fund returned 3.06% (retail class) for the six months ended June 30, 2017. This compares to a return of 4.18% by its benchmark, the Bloomberg Barclays U.S. 10-Year Municipal Bond Index for the same period.
Outlook & Positioning
Credit Positioning: Our outlook for municipal bonds remains positive as slow, steady growth since the 2008 recession has made its way into municipal revenues. We remain more bullish on revenue bonds and issuers who have limited exposure to long-term liabilities.
Duration: The Fund’s effective duration as of June 30, 2017 was 5.7 years and its average maturity was 11.4 years. This is a shorter effective duration and maturity than the benchmark as of June 30, 2017.
As of June 30, 2017, no individual holdings within the Fund were taxable to those shareholders subject to the Alternative Minimum Tax (AMT).

Disclosure of Fund Expenses
As a shareholder of a Fund, you may incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs; and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees and other Fund expenses. The examples on the next page are 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 examples are based on an investment of $1,000 invested on January 1, 2017 and held until June 30, 2017.
Actual Expenses. The first line of the table on the next page provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this line, 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 first line under the heading “Expenses Paid During Period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.
Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes. The second line of the table on the next page provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Fund’s actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the 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 a Fund and other mutual funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of other funds.
Expenses shown in the table on the next page are meant to highlight ongoing Fund costs only and do not reflect transaction costs, such as redemption fees. Therefore, the second line of the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and may not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transactional costs were included, your costs would have been higher.

TOP 5/BOTTOM 5 STOCK PERFORMANCE CALCULATION METHODOLOGY
The Calculation methodology used to construct this chart took into account consistently the weighting of every holding in the Fund that contributed to the Fund’s performance during the Measurement Period, and the Chart reflects consistently the results of the Calculation. The Calculation determined the contribution of each Fund holding by calculating the weight (i.e., percentage of the Total Investments) of each holding multiplied by the rate of return for that holding during the first six months of 2017.
DEFINITION OF TERMS

| • | AA+: An obligation rated “AA+” differs from the highest rated obligations only in small degree. The obligor’s capacity to meet its financial commitment on the obligation is very strong. |
| • | AA: An obligation rated “AA” differs from the highest rated obligations only in small degree. The obligor’s capacity to meet its financial commitment on the obligation is very strong. |
| • | A: An obligation rated “A” is somewhat more susceptible to the adverse effects of changes in circumstances and economic conditions than obligations in higher-rated categories. However, the obligor’s capacity to meet its financial commitment on the obligation is still strong. |
| • | BBB: An obligation rated “BBB” exhibits adequate protection parameters. However, adverse economic conditions or changing circumstances are more likely to lead to a weakened capacity of the obligor to meet its financial commitment on the obligation. |
| • | Below BBB: Obligations rated “BB,” “B,” “CCC,” “CC” and “C” are regarded as having significant speculative characteristics. “BB” indicates the least degree of speculation and “C” the highest. While such obligations will likely have some quality and protective characteristics, these may be outweighed by large uncertainties or major exposures to adverse conditions. Bonds rated “BB” or below are commonly referred to as “junk” bonds. |
| • | Non-Rated: These bonds are not rated. |
Credit Quality Rating: A rating of an individual bond as determined by a nationally recognized statistical rating organization (NRSRO) such as Standard & Poor’s or Moody’s.

For more information regarding rating methodologies for Standard & Poor’s, visit www.standardandpoors.com and for Moody’s, visit www.moodys.com.

Price to Book Value (P/B) Ratio: The P/B ratio is used to compare a company’s book value to its current market price. This ratio compares the market’s valuation of a company to the value of that company as indicated on its financial statements. The higher the ratio, the higher the premium the market is willing to pay for the company above its hard assets.
Price to Cash (P/C) Flow Ratio: The P/C flow ratio is a measure of a firm’s stock price relative to its financial performance. For a fund, the P/C flow ratio is the weighted average of all stocks held in the fund.

Westcore Funds | Notes to Financial Statements |
June 30, 2017 (Unaudited)
1. ORGANIZATION

Interests in the Westcore Small-Cap Growth Fund, Westcore Small-Cap Growth Fund II, , Westcore Mid-Cap Value Dividend Fund, Westcore Mid-Cap Value Dividend Fund II, Westcore Smid-Cap Value Dividend Fund, Westcore Small-Cap Value Dividend Fund, Westcore Global Large-Cap Dividend Fund, Westcore Large-Cap Dividend Fund, Westcore Micro-Cap Opportunity Fund, Westcore International Small-Cap Fund, Westcore Flexible Income Fund, Westcore Plus Bond Fund, Westcore Municipal Opportunities Fund and Westcore Colorado Tax-Exempt Fund (the “Funds”) are represented by separate classes of beneficial interest of the Trust, which is organized as a Massachusetts business trust.

All classes of shares have identical rights to earnings, assets and voting privileges, except for class specific expenses and exclusive rights to vote on matters solely affecting such class.
2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The following is a summary of significant accounting policies consistently followed by each Fund in the preparation of its financial statements. Each Fund is considered an investment company for financial reporting purposes, the following policies are in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for investment companies.
Use of Estimates – The preparation of financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. The actual results could differ from those estimates.
Investment Valuation – All securities of the Funds are valued as of the close of regular trading on the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”), currently 4:00 p.m. (Eastern Time), on each day that the NYSE is open, subject to provisions in the prospectus and/or Statement of Additional Information regarding pricing at other times in case of an emergency and optional pricing of the Funds in the event that the NYSE does not open for business because of an emergency.
Securities that are traded on a recognized domestic stock exchange are generally valued at the last sales price as of the valuation time on the principal stock exchange on which they are traded. Securities that are principally traded on the National Association of Securities Dealers Automated Quotation (“NASDAQ”) exchange are generally valued at the NASDAQ Official Closing Price (“NOCP”). Unlisted securities that are traded on the domestic over-the-counter market for which last sales prices are available, are generally valued at the last sales price as of the valuation time. In the absence of sales and NOCP, such securities are valued at the mean of the bid and asked prices.
Securities that are traded on a foreign stock exchange (and that are not listed on a recognized domestic stock exchange or traded on the NASDAQ exchange or the domestic over the counter market) are generally valued at the official closing price on the principal stock exchange on which they are traded. When an event occurs subsequent to the close of the foreign exchange and the close of the NYSE that was likely to have changed such value, the fair value of those securities are determined in good faith in accordance with procedures established by and under the general supervision of the Board of Trustees. The Funds will use a fair valuation model provided by an independent pricing service, which is intended to reflect fair value when a security’s value is believed to have been materially affected by an valuation event that has occurred between the close of the exchange or market on which the security is traded and the close of the regular trading day on the NYSE. In the event that closing prices are not available for such foreign securities, such securities are generally valued at the last sales price occurring prior to the closing of its principal exchange.
Forward foreign currency contracts have a fair value determined by an automated system that estimates rates on the basis of the current day foreign currency exchange rates and forward foreign currency exchange rates supplied by a pricing vendor. Foreign currency exchange rates and foreign currency exchange forward rates may generally be obtained at the close of the NYSE.
Redeemable securities issued by open-end registered investment companies are valued at the investment company’s applicable net asset value.
Fixed-income obligations, excluding municipal securities, having a remaining maturity of greater than 60 days, are typically valued at the mean between the evaluated bid and ask prices formulated by an independent pricing service. Municipal securities having a remaining maturity of greater than 60 days, are typically valued at the evaluated bid price formulated by an independent pricing service.
Semi-Annual Report | June 30, 2017 | ![](https://capedge.com/proxy/N-CSRS/0001398344-17-011794/fp0027842_03.jpg) | 123 |
Westcore Funds | Notes to Financial Statements |
June 30, 2017 (Unaudited)
When market quotations are not readily available or when events occur that make established valuation methods unreliable, securities of the Fund may be valued in good faith by or under the direction of the Board of Trustees. Factors which may be considered when determining the value of a security include (a) the fundamental data relating to the investment; (b) an evaluation of the forces which influence the market in which the security is sold, including the liquidity and depth of the market; (c) the market value at date of purchase; (d) information as to any transactions or offers with respect to the security or comparable securities; and (e) any other relevant matters.
Market, Credit and Counterparty Risk – In the normal course of business, the Funds invest in securities and enter into transactions where risks exist due to fluctuations in the market (market risk) or failure of the issuer of a security to meet all its obligations (issuer credit risk). The value of securities held by the Funds may decline in response to certain events, including those directly involving the issuers whose securities are owned by the Funds; conditions affecting the general economy; overall market changes; local, regional, national or global political, social or economic instability; and currency and interest rate and price fluctuations. Similar to issuer credit risk, the Funds may be exposed to counterparty credit risk, or the risk that an entity with which the Funds have unsettled or open transactions may fail to or be unable to perform on its commitments. The Funds manage counterparty credit risk by entering into transactions only with counterparties that they believe have the financial resources to honor their obligations and by monitoring the financial stability of those counterparties.
Securities Traded on Foreign Exchanges – All of the Funds, except the Westcore Colorado Tax-Exempt Fund, may invest at least a portion of their assets in foreign securities. As of June 30, 2017, all Funds were primarily invested in securities traded on U.S. exchanges, except Westcore International Small-Cap Fund and Westcore Global Large-Cap Dividend Fund. In the event that a Fund executes a security transaction on a foreign exchange, the Fund will generally enter into a foreign currency contract to settle the foreign security transaction. Foreign securities may carry more risk than U.S. securities, such as political, market and currency risks. The accounting records of the Funds are maintained in U.S. dollars. Prices of securities denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollars at the closing rates of exchange at period end. Amounts related to the purchase and sale of foreign securities and investment income are translated at the rates of exchange prevailing on the respective dates of such transactions.
The portion of realized and unrealized gains or losses on investments due to fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates is not separately disclosed and is included in realized and unrealized gains or losses on investments, when applicable.
Country Risk – As of June 30, 2017, the Westcore Global Large-Cap Dividend Fund invested a significant percentage of its assets in Switzerland and the United Kingdom and the Westcore International Small-Cap Fund invested a significant percentage of its assets in Japan, the United Kingdom, Australia, and Canada. Therefore, they may be more affected by economic developments and currency fluctuations in these countries.
Sector Concentration Risk – The Funds may concentrate investments in companies that are in a single sector or related sector. Concentrating investments in a single sector may make the Fund more susceptible to adverse economic, business, regulatory or other developments affecting that sector. If an economic downturn occurs in a sector in which the Fund’s investments are concentrated, the Fund may perform poorly during
that period.
Federal Income Taxes – No provision for income taxes is included in the accompanying financial statements, as the Funds intend to distribute to shareholders all taxable investment income and realized gains and otherwise comply with Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, applicable to regulated investment companies.
As of and during the six months ended June 30, 2017, the Funds did not have a liability for any unrecognized tax benefits. The Funds file U.S. federal, state, and local tax returns as required. Each Fund’s tax returns are subject to examination by the relevant tax authorities until expiration of the applicable statute of limitations which is generally three years after the filing of the tax return. Tax returns for open years have incorporated no uncertain tax positions that require a provision for income taxes.
Redemption Fee – Effective September 15, 2016, the Funds no longer impose a redemption fee. Prior to September 15, 2016, the Westcore Small-Cap Growth, Westcore Micro-Cap Opportunity and Westcore Flexible Income Funds imposed a two percent (2%) redemption fee (the “Redemption Fee”) on Fund shares if such Fund shares are redeemed (including in connection with an exchange) within ninety (90) calendar days from their date of purchase. The Redemption Fees, which are reflected in the Statement of Changes in Net Assets, were intended to encourage long-term investment in the Funds and, to the extent that frequent trading persists, to offset brokerage commissions, market impact, transaction costs and other expenses associated with frequent trading.

Westcore Funds | Notes to Financial Statements |
June 30, 2017 (Unaudited)
Offering Costs – The Westcore Mid-Cap Value Dividend Fund-Institutional Class, Westcore International Small-Cap Fund-Institutional Class and Westcore Colorado Tax-Exempt Fund-Institutional Class incurred offering costs which are being amortized over the first twelve months from the commencement date of the Institutional share class, April 29, 2016. The Westcore Smid-Cap Value Dividend and Westcore Municipal Opportunities Funds incurred offering costs which are being amortized over the first twelve months from the commencement date of the Funds, December 19, 2016. Offering costs include fees for preparing and printing initial prospectuses, legal and registration fees. Amounts amortized in the six months ended June 30, 2017 are shown on the Funds’ Statement of Operations.
When-Issued/Forward Commitment Securities – Each Fund may purchase or sell securities on a “when issued” or “forward commitment” basis which involves a commitment by the Fund to purchase or sell particular securities with payment and delivery taking place at a future date. During this period, such securities do not earn interest, are subject to market fluctuation and may increase or decrease in value prior to their delivery. In accordance with SEC guidance, each Fund segregates liquid assets in an amount sufficient to satisfy the purchase price. The purchase of securities on a when-issued or forward commitment basis may increase the volatility of the Fund’s net asset value to the extent each Fund makes such purchases while remaining substantially fully invested. Settlements in the ordinary course of business, which may take substantially more than three business days for non-U.S. securities, are not treated by the Funds as “when-issued” or “forward commitment” transactions. As of June 30, 2017, none of the Funds held when-issued or forward commitment securities.
Other – For financial reporting purposes, the Funds’ investment transactions and shareholder transactions are recorded on trade date. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date. Foreign dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date or as soon as practical after the Funds determine the existence of a dividend declaration after exercising reasonable due diligence. Interest income, which includes amortization of premiums, accretion of discounts and income earned on money market funds, is accrued and recorded daily. Realized gains and losses from investment transactions and unrealized appreciation and depreciation of investments are reported on an identified cost basis.

* | Prior to April 30, 2017, the advisory fee was 0.75%. |
ALPS Fund Services, Inc. (“ALPS”) and Denver Investments serve as the Funds’ co-administrators (“Co-Administrators”). ALPS and Denver Investments are entitled to receive a total fee from each Fund for its administrative services computed daily and paid monthly based on the average daily net assets of the Trust. Denver Investments receives 0.10% on the first $3.5 billion in average daily net assets of the Trust and 0.05% for net assets greater than $3.5 billion. The administrative fees are allocated to each Fund based upon the Fund’s relative proportion of the Trust’s Net Assets and are disclosed in the Statement of Operations.
Each Fund has agreed to reimburse the Adviser for a portion of the payments it makes to certain Service Organizations for providing recordkeeping and sub-accounting services to persons who own Fund Retail Class shares through omnibus accounts (“Omnibus Accounts”). The amount reimbursed by the Fund, presented on the Statements of Operations as Shareholder servicing reimbursement - Retail Class, is intended to not exceed the estimated cost that would be incurred by the Fund if the shares held in the Omnibus Accounts were serviced directly by the Fund’s transfer agent.
To determine the Periodic Reimbursement Amount, each Fund’s effective cost for servicing shares directly by the Fund’s transfer agent is calculated on a periodic basis but no later than quarterly as follows (“Effective Rate”):
Fund Retail Class Transfer Agency Costs divided by Fund Retail Class Assets serviced directly by the Fund’s Transfer Agent.
This Effective Rate is then multiplied by the Retail Class assets in the Omnibus Accounts as of the most recent practical date (typically quarter end) to calculate the Periodic Reimbursement Amount.
Denver Investments as Adviser and Co-Administrator has contractually agreed, during the period ended June 30, 2017 and until at least April 30, 2018, that the Net Annual Fund Operating Expenses for the following shares of the Funds will not exceed the amounts shown in the table below.

* | Prior to April 30, 2017, the expense caps for Westcore Small-Cap Growth Fund Retail Class, Westcore Large-Cap Dividend Fund Retail Class and Westcore Mid-Cap Value Dividend Fund Retail Class were 1.30%, 1.15% and 1.25%, respectively. |
** | The Adviser has also agreed to voluntarily waive a portion of the investment advisory and/or administration fees and/or reimburse additional Trust expenses so that the ratio of expenses to average net assets of the Westcore International Small-Cap Fund (the “Fund”) Retail Class of the Trust as reported in the Funds’ Financial Highlights do not exceed 1.44%. The Adviser may discontinue this voluntary waiver at any time upon notice to the Trust. |
Denver Investments has contractually agreed to waive certain investment advisory and/or administration fees and/or to reimburse other expenses from April 30, 2017 until at least April 30, 2018. Adviser reimbursements are paid monthly in arrears. The first waiver/reimbursement applies so that the ratio of expenses to average net assets, as reported in the Fund’s Financial Highlights, will be no more than the amount reported in the table above, for the Fund’s Retail Class for such period. The second waiver/reimbursement applies so that Fund level Other Expenses for the Institutional Class will be in the same proportion as the Retail Class waivers/reimbursements. The third waiver/reimbursement applies so that the institutional class-specific Other Expenses are reimbursed. The Adviser has contractually agreed to waive/reimburse all of these class-specific Other Expenses, but only to the extent that the difference between the net Institutional Class and net Retail Class expense ratios after applying the waiver/reimbursement does not exceed 25 basis points. Without such fee waivers, for the six months ended June 30, 2017, the Total Annualized Operating Expenses for the Institutional Class shares of the Funds are as follows:

Under the Transfer Agency Agreement, ALPS receives from the Trust an annual minimum fee per Fund, a fee based upon each shareholder account and is reimbursed for out-of-pocket expenses.
An officer of the Funds is also an officer of Denver Investments. All access persons of the Trust, as defined in the 1940 Act, and members, officers and employees of the Adviser, follow strict guidelines and policies on personal trading as outlined in the Trust’s and the Adviser’s respective Code of Ethics.
The Trustees have appointed a Chief Compliance Officer who is also the Treasurer of the Trust and a partner of the Adviser. The Trustees agreed to have the Funds pay the portion of his compensation attributable for services rendered as the Trust’s Chief Compliance Officer. The Trustees have also appointed a President of the Trust who is also a Trustee. In addition to Trustee compensation, the President receives a fee per each regularly scheduled Board meeting.
The Trust has a Trustee Deferred Compensation Plan (the “Deferral Plan”) which allows the Trustees to defer the receipt of all or a portion of Trustees fees. Under the Deferral Plan, Trustee fees are paid and invested directly into shares of the Funds elected by the Trustees in the Deferral Plan. There is no future liability related to the balance in the Deferral Plan as such amounts are paid directly out of the respective capital accounts of the elected Funds. The amount paid to the Trustees under the Deferral Plan will be determined based upon the performance of the elected funds. The balance in the Deferral Plan as of June 30, 2017 is $587,665.

6. FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS
A three-tier hierarchy has been established to measure fair value based on the extent of use of “observable inputs” as compared to “unobservable inputs” for disclosure purposes and requires additional disclosures about these valuation measurements. Inputs refer broadly to the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing a security. Observable inputs are inputs that reflect the assumptions market participants would use in pricing the security developed based on market data obtained from sources independent of the reporting entity. Unobservable inputs are inputs that reflect the reporting entity’s own assumptions about the assumptions market participants would use in pricing the security developed based on the best information available in the circumstances.
The three-tier hierarchy is summarized as follows:
1) | Level 1 – Quoted & Unadjusted Prices in active markets for identical investments |
2) | Level 2 – Other Significant Observable Inputs (including quoted prices for similar investments, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.) |
3) | Level 3 – Significant Unobservable Inputs (including the Fund’s own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments). |
The following is a summary of the inputs used as of June 30, 2017 in valuing the Funds’ assets:

It is the Funds’ policy to recognize transfers into and out of all levels at the end of the reporting period.
The Westcore International Small-Cap Fund utilizes a fair value evaluation service with respect to international securities with an earlier market closing than the Fund’s net asset value computation cutoff. When events trigger the use of the fair value evaluation service on a reporting period date, it results in certain securities transferring from a Level 1 to a Level 2 classification. When the trigger is not met at a period end, it could result

The inputs or methodologies used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities.
For fair value measurements using significant other observable inputs (Level 2), the Funds generally utilize an independent pricing service which utilizes evaluated pricing models that vary by asset class and incorporate available trade, bid and other market information, and for structured securities also incorporate cash flow and, when available, loan performance data. The independent pricing service’s evaluated pricing models apply available market information through processes such as benchmark curves, benchmarking of similar securities, and sector groupings. For certain securities, the independent pricing service uses model processes, such as the Option Adjusted Spread (benchmark driven) model, to assess interest rate impact and develop prepayment scenarios. With respect to trades and bids, the independent pricing service reviews the lot size to determine

Westcore Funds | Notes to Financial Statements |
June 30, 2017 (Unaudited)
whether the information is representative of an orderly trading market. If the independent pricing service determines that trade or bid information is not consistent with other information available, the trade or bid will not be reflected in the evaluated price.
Corporate bonds, Municipal bonds, U.S. Government & Agency Obligations, and U.S. Treasury bonds & Notes are valued using market models that consider trade data, quotations from dealers and active market makers, relevant yield curve and spread data, creditworthiness, trade data or market information on comparable securities, and other relevant security specific information. Mortgage-related and asset-backed securities are valued based on models that consider trade data, prepayment and default projections, benchmark yield and spread data and estimated cash flows of each tranche of the issuer. Forward foreign currency contracts are normally valued on the basis of quotes obtained from brokers and dealers or independent pricing services.
In the event the independent pricing service is unable to provide an evaluated price for a security or Denver Investments believes the price provided is not reliable, securities of the Funds may be valued in good faith as described above in Note 2. In these instances, the compliance department will typically seek input from the investment team of the Fund since they are typically the most knowledgeable of the relevant factors in valuing the securities. Denver Investments may seek to find an alternative independent source, such as a broker/dealer to provide a price quote, or by using evaluated pricing models similar to the techniques and models used by the independent pricing service. These fair value measurement techniques may utilize unobservable inputs (Level 3).
At least quarterly, Denver Investments receives a report on the pricing for all fair valued securities during the period along with any actual sales prices, broker quotes and/or pricing from the independent pricing service. Denver Investments uses this information to analyze changes in fair value measurements over the period and as a back test of pricing methods.
Then on at least a quarterly basis, Denver Investments presents the factors considered in determining the fair value measurements and presents that information to the Audit Committee of the Board of Trustees which meets at least quarterly. The Audit Committee of the Board of Trustees then will provide a recommendation to the Board of Trustees for approval of the fair value measurements.
The table below provides additional information about the Level 3 Fair Value Measurements as of June 30, 2017:

7. FORWARD FOREIGN CURRENCY EXCHANGE CONTRACTS
The Westcore International Small-Cap Fund may purchase or sell foreign currencies on a “spot” or cash basis at the prevailing rate in the foreign currency exchange market to settle investment transactions in the proper currency. In addition, this Fund may purchase or sell forward currency contracts to adjust the portfolio’s exposure to different currencies consistent with the investment team’s targets, which consider the currency weightings within the Fund’s benchmark index.
When entering into a spot or forward foreign currency contract, the Fund agrees to receive or deliver a fixed quantity of foreign currency for an agreed upon price on an agreed future date. These contracts are valued at each portfolio valuation, and the Fund’s net equity therein, representing unrealized gain or loss on the contracts as measured by the difference between the contractual rates at the dates of entry into the contracts and the spot or forward rates at the reporting date, is included in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Realized gains and losses and change in unrealized appreciation and depreciation are included in the Statement of Operations. These instruments involve credit risk and market risk in excess of the amount recognized in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Risks arise from the possible inability of counterparties to meet the terms of their contracts and from movement in currency exchange rates.
The Fund must segregate assets determined to be liquid in accordance with procedures established by the Board of Trustees, or otherwise cover its position in a permissible manner.
During the six months ended June 30, 2017, the Fund had average forward foreign currency contract values to buy and sell of $26,365,583 and $21,878,292, respectively.
The effect of derivative instruments on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities as of June 30, 2017 is as follows:
