A Few Words on Closed-End Funds

Royce & Associates, LLC manages three closed-end funds: Royce Value Trust, which invests primarily in small-cap securities; Royce Micro-Cap Trust, which invests primarily in micro-cap securities; and Royce Global Value Trust, which invests in both U.S. and non-U.S. small-cap stocks. A closed-end fund is an investment company whose shares are listed and traded on a stock exchange. Like all investment companies, including open-end mutual funds, the assets of a closed-end fund are professionally managed in accordance with the investment objectives and policies approved by the fund’s Board of Directors. A closed-end fund raises cash for investment by issuing a fixed number of shares through initial and other public offerings that may include shelf offerings and periodic rights offerings. Proceeds from the offerings are invested in an actively managed portfolio of securities. Investors wanting to buy or sell shares of a publicly traded closed-end fund after the offerings must do so on a stock exchange, as with any publicly traded stock. Shares of closed-end funds frequently trade at a discount to their net asset value. This is in contrast to open-end mutual funds, which sell and redeem their shares at net asset value on a continuous basis.

A Closed-End Fund Can Offer Several Distinct Advantages

•		A closed-end fund does not issue redeemable securities or offer its securities on a continuous basis, so it does not need to liquidate securities or hold uninvested assets to meet investor demands for cash redemptions.

•		In a closed-end fund, not having to meet investor redemption requests or invest at inopportune times can be effective for value managers who attempt to buy stocks when prices are depressed and sell securities when prices are high.

•		A closed-end fund may invest in less liquid portfolio securities because it is not subject to potential stockholder redemption demands. This is potentially beneficial for Royce-managed closed-end funds, which invest primarily in small- and micro-cap securities.

•		The fixed capital structure allows permanent leverage to be employed as a means to enhance capital appreciation potential.

•		Royce Value Trust and Royce Micro-Cap Trust distribute capital gains on a quarterly basis. Each of these Funds has adopted a quarterly distribution policy for its common stock.

We believe that the closed-end fund structure can be an appropriate investment for a long-term investor who understands the benefits of a more stable pool of capital.

Why Dividend Reinvestment Is Important

A very important component of an investor’s total return comes from the reinvestment of distributions. By reinvesting distributions, our investors can maintain an undiluted investment in a Fund. To get a fair idea of the impact of reinvested distributions, please see the charts on pages 12 and 13. For additional information on the Funds’ Distribution Reinvestment and Cash Purchase Options and the benefits for stockholders, please see page 14 or visit our website at www.roycefunds.com.

Managed Distribution Policy

The Board of Directors of each of Royce Value Trust and Royce Micro-Cap Trust has authorized a managed distribution policy (“MDP”). Under the MDP, Royce Value Trust and Royce Micro-Cap Trust pay quarterly distributions at an annual rate of 7% of the average of the prior four quarter-end net asset values, with the fourth quarter being the greater of these annualized rates or the distribution required by IRS regulations. With each distribution, the Fund will issue a notice to its stockholders and an accompanying press release that provides detailed information regarding the amount and composition of the distribution (including whether any portion of the distribution represents a return of capital) and other information required by a Fund’s MDP. You should not draw any conclusions about a Fund’s investment performance from the amount of distributions or from the terms of a Fund’s MDP. A Fund’s Board of Directors may amend or terminate the MDP at any time without prior notice to stockholders; however, at this time there are no reasonably foreseeable circumstances that might cause the termination of any of the MDPs.

Letter to Our Stockholders

“THE TIME IS OUT OF JOINT”

Anyone reestablishing contact with the wider world at the end of June would no doubt be pleased by the numbers that guide the financial and economic parts of our lives. The economy, following a first-quarter stumble in which GDP is estimated to have grown by 0.6%, appears once again to be growing at a faster clip. One could argue that its pace could be livelier, but healthy employment numbers, improving wages, and robust housing and auto markets would seem to promise a quickening in the coming months. Inflation is, for now, not a matter of great concern. Interest rates remain low—and will remain that way on an absolute basis, even with an increase (or two) in short-term rates likely before the end of 2015. And a Fed-led increase in short rates may cause long-term rates to back up as well, which would be bad news for the bond markets, though perhaps not for stocks.

One could find positive developments in the equity markets through the first half of the year—or so it would seem. Returns for each of the major domestic indexes were in the black through the end of June, while a welcome recovery finally arrived for many non-U.S. stocks in the year’s first six months. Three- and five-year average annualized returns for the small-cap Russell 2000 Index, the Nasdaq Composite, and the large-cap Russell 1000 and S&P 500 Indexes all topped 17%, well above the rolling three- and five-year historical averages for each index. It would appear that we are living through good times for the economy and possibly great ones for equities.

Why, then, have we purloined a line from Hamlet to introduce our own take on stocks in the first half, one in which the titular protagonist warns of a troubling dislocation in the world around him? Some of the reasons are clear enough: Positive results for the first half notwithstanding, global equities were rocked by the highly publicized Greek default late in June. On the second-to-last trading day of the first half, many stocks gave away most, if not all, of their second-quarter gains. Markets in China faced arguably even more significant problems, considering how much larger and more important that nation’s economy is to the world compared to that of Greece. Chinese stocks plummeted 30% in the three weeks leading up to our Independence Day, making what seemed like a typical correction in June far more worrisome. A cut in interest rates and more relaxed rules for margin trading—both hastily put in place late in June—did little to stem the tide of selling.

Closer to home, there is the matter of how thoroughly disjointed results were for domestic equities. Large-cap returns, for example, were paltry—as can be seen from the table on page 3—brought even lower by the Greek drama that ushered out the month of June. Performance for small-caps and the Nasdaq looked appreciably better, but in each case looks are almost assuredly deceiving. Health Care was by far the dominant sector in every market cap range, from micro to large, that Russell Investments tracks. Yet the rule in the first half seemed to be the smaller—and more growth-driven—the company, the loftier the results, especially if it was involved in biotech, the industry that has reigned supreme within the Russell 2000 over much of the last two years. This has had the

LETTER TO OUR STOCKHOLDERS


effect of creating decidedly narrow market leadership within the small-cap space. Outside of biotech, strong first-half performances were mostly limited to a handful of other Health Care industries, software companies, and a few outliers such as construction materials and tobacco. The small-cap market has thus moved from the tightly correlated markets of 2011-2013 into a new phase of wide divergence and constricted leadership. From our perspective, then, the market is indeed out of joint. “MORE THINGS IN HEAVEN AND EARTH…” We have actually been arguing that the market has been disjointed for some time now. Fed policies designed to keep the economy and capital markets above water, which included multiple rounds of QE and keeping interest rates at or near zero, had other, unintended consequences that had an outsized effect on the small-cap market. For example, it became both easy and affordable for businesses to add debt, essentially eroding the risk differential between lower- and higher-quality businesses. Lower-quality and more highly levered companies then began a historically atypical period of outperformance in which our funds mostly did not participate. The Fed’s zero-interest-rate policy (“ZIRP”) also stoked an intense hunger for yield, which drove up values for bond-proxy equities such as REITs and Utilities, regardless of their underlying quality or profitability, that have only recently begun to correct. These actions also boosted stock correlations and reduced volatility, making it harder to find the kind of mispriced opportunities that have always been our stock in trade.		Finally, there were significant runs for high-growth, non-earning, and more speculative businesses, many with negative EBIT. This continues into the present day with the recent contraction of small-cap leadership, which represents more of a bet on long-duration assets than current profitability. In each of these cases, our more qualitative, risk-conscious approaches have in general kept us away from these areas. While we are confident that this trend will fade and that speculative bubbles will burst, we also understand the frustrations that have built over the last few years as active managers such as ourselves have continued to lag our respective benchmarks.

		So do these challenges mean that something is rotten in the state of small-cap, if only in some of its actively managed precincts? That is the question, more or less, that we have been wrestling with of late. To be sure, we ran the gamut in the first half from disappointment to optimism to frustration as investor preferences moved around. They first showed favor to long-duration assets, then looked, if only briefly, toward consistently profitable and/or conservatively capitalized companies before shifting back again. However, we have seen enough signs, both economically and in the market, which suggest that stocks are slowly moving back to what we would call their historical norm—lower overall returns, higher volatility, and long-term advantages for companies with consistent profits and high returns on invested capital. Most notably, there was a positive directional trend dating from the first-half low for the 10-year Treasury on January 30

Equity Indexes As of June 30, 2015 (%)

•		Greek Drama Creates Underwhelming Results—The Greek default late in June eroded gains—giving equities second-quarter results that more closely hugged the flat line. The tech-oriented Nasdaq Composite was the leader, up 1.8%, followed by the small-cap Russell 2000 Index, which finished the quarter with a gain of 0.4%. The large-cap S&P 500 and Russell 1000 Indexes rose 0.3% and 0.1%, respectively.

•		Long-Term Returns in Excess—Both large-cap and small-cap indexes’ three- and five-year average annual total returns for the periods ended 6/30/15 were above 17%, well in excess of each index’s historical average.

•		Healthy and Informed—Health Care and Information Technology were the best performing sectors in the Russell 2000 year-to-date through 6/30/15—the former led by a wide margin—while Utilities and Materials were the worst performers in the year’s first half.

LETTER TO OUR STOCKHOLDERS

through the end of the first half. During this period, which included the bearish month of April, we were pleased with the way many of our portfolios either outperformed their benchmarks or began to narrow the gap. This was very clear during the growth scare engendered by (at the time) negative first-quarter GDP numbers, which led many companies to begin revising their earnings expectations downward. Of course, when it became clear that much of what put a drag on first-quarter numbers was temporary, including such factors as the awful winter weather, the West Coast port strike, and the plunge in oil prices, things began to pick up again fairly quickly, at least for the more speculative areas within Health Care and a few other narrow equity locales.

“THE READINESS IS ALL”
Yet this period also offered a potential preview of how the landscape for stocks will look when short-term interest rates begin to rise—which is likely to be later this year. We see higher rates breeding more uncertainty, be it about inflation, the cost of capital, or a number of other issues. This in turn typically leads to more mispricing in the short run, which creates precisely the opportunities that we crave as risk-conscious bargain hunters. To us, high rates are synonymous with higher risk. A higher-risk environment also tends to benefit quality companies (by which we mean conservatively capitalized, profitable businesses with high returns on invested capital and effective, shareholder-friendly management). So we have no worries about rising rates or greater volatility in the markets. In fact, we welcome both.

We see quality differentiating itself when risk premiums rise because quality businesses are better businesses—as profitable, financially sound enterprises, they are purpose-built and run to survive periods of higher risk and/or greater uncertainty, which helps to explain why the market of the last several years has seen many of these companies disadvantaged in the easy-money,

ZIRP environment. In a phase in which few if any of the traditional penalties were paid for larding leverage onto corporate balance sheets, there were also scant advantages that have historically accrued to higher-quality, more conservatively capitalized companies.

We feel confident that this era is over. Our expectation is for lower returns for stocks as a whole, but relatively better returns for both high-quality companies and more cyclical, less defensive sectors. We suspect that in a few years market observers will look back at 2015—and perhaps the longer span covering 2013-2015—as a hinge period in which the gradual sun-setting of interventionist Fed policies, coupled with the steady growth of the economy, restored the capital markets to something closer to more familiar historical patterns of performance and volatility. This is why we have been patiently holding so many companies in cyclical sectors, such as Industrials, Materials, and, more recently, Energy—they boast many attractive characteristics that the market has not yet fully recognized, a phenomenon we expect will change as the economy heats up. In our estimation their profitability, growth prospects, and reasonable to attractive valuations make them coiled springs. Until then, we wait.

To be sure, it has been a cycle of, at times, seemingly endless challenges for our active and risk-conscious approaches. Our collective patience has been sorely tested as we have waited (and waited) for many of our highest-confidence holdings to turn around. Of course, transitions are never easy, and the turn we have been anticipating has taken longer, after a few false starts, than any of us initially anticipated. Change, however, can take time—and we are often aware that a dramatic turn has occurred only in retrospect. We are content, then, to continue investing in the same way that we have for more than four decades—with a close eye on risk as we look for the intersection of attractive valuation and organic growth potential.

Sincerely,

Royce Value Trust (RVT)

FUND PERFORMANCE

Royce Value Trust (NYSE: RVT) gained 1.7% on an NAV (net asset value) basis and 0.3% on a market price basis for the year-to-date period ended June 30, 2015, lagging each of its unleveraged small-cap benchmarks. For the same period, the Russell 2000 Index rose 4.8% while the S&P SmallCap 600 climbed 4.2%. Equities got off to a slow start in 2015 but soon righted themselves, with a bearish January giving way to solid first-quarter gains that were driven mostly by a strong rebound in February. RVT was up 1.0% on an NAV basis and 2.0% on a market price basis during the first quarter, trailing the Russell 2000, which gained 4.3%, and the S&P SmallCap 600, which advanced 4.0%.

A similar pattern could be seen in the second quarter, as small-cap share prices stumbled through a downturn in April (when RVT lost less than both small-cap indexes on an NAV and market price basis) before rallying in May. June wound up being a volatile month, though this was not fully felt until its second-to-last day when the Greek default sent global stock prices into a tailspin. On an NAV basis, the Fund felt the brunt less than its benchmarks, which helped to make the second quarter a relatively strong one. RVT was up 0.7% based on NAV but fell 1.7% based on market price, while the Russell 2000 was up 0.4% and the S&P Small Cap 600 rose 0.2%. This was not enough, however, to overcome the portfolio’s first-quarter disadvantage. On an NAV and market price basis, the Fund outperformed the Russell 2000 for the 15-, 20-, 25-year, and since inception (11/26/86) periods ended June 30, 2015 while trailing the S&P SmallCap 600. RVT’s average annual NAV total return for the since inception period was 10.6%.

WHAT WORKED… AND WHAT DIDN’T
On a relative basis versus the Russell 2000, two sectors made a significant negative impact for the semiannual period. Health Care was the clear leader within the small-cap market as a whole, driven by highly impressive results for biotech stocks. The Fund was significantly underweight this sector and had very limited exposure to biotech companies, which hurt relative performance. RVT was slightly overweight in Information Technology during the first half but was also meaningfully underweight in software companies, which dominated overall small-cap returns in a fashion similar to what biotech did in Health Care.

RVT’s first-half results were also affected by net losses in the Energy and Materials sectors. In the former, the energy equipment & services group had a sizable negative impact while the metals & mining group in Materials detracted most out of all the Fund’s industry groups. Net losses at the position level were relatively modest. ADTRAN manufactures telecommunications networking equipment and internetworking products. We began reducing our position in the first half, primarily due to our frustration with waiting several quarters for revenues from a telecom equipment deal with AT&T to produce revenue. ADTRAN then announced that this project had been effectively scrapped because AT&T was rethinking its capital spending plans. Absent this business, which we thought would be a key revenue driver going forward, ADTRAN’s outlook looked far less attractive relative to other opportunities. We chose to hold our shares of Anixter International as its stock slipped. The company provides security systems and solutions, makes enterprise cabling, and also distributes electrical and electronic wire. Its stock was hurt when the company reduced its organic growth outlook for the year in two of its core distribution businesses—the enterprise cabling and security solutions line and its electronic wire and cable segment. Still, we like its prospects for recovery. We also held shares of another detractor, Qalaa Holdings (formerly Citadel Capital), a leading investment company in Africa and the Middle East. Its stock suffered from fears that lower oil prices would result in a reduction in Egyptian investment by the oil-producing countries of the Persian Gulf.

Turning to those areas that contributed to first-half returns, Industrials topped all of RVT’s 10 equity sectors and was positive relative to the Russell 2000. Top-contributing positions included The Hackett Group, which offers business consulting and technology implementation services. The firm’s shares moved higher in mid-May following the announcement of sterling results for its fiscal first quarter. Value Partners Group is a Hong Kong-based asset manager. Its stock rose sharply into May before correcting with the decline in Chinese stocks. We were pleased to see growth in its assets under management and improved performance and management fees, all of which helped its earnings. Nautilus, like The Hackett Group a top-10 holding at the end of June, makes branded health and fitness products such as Schwinn, Bowflex, and Nautilus itself. Its stock grew stronger after the firm reported double-digit earnings growth for its fiscal first quarter.

For the year-to-date period ended June 30, 2015, Royce Micro-Cap Trust (NYSE: RMT) was down 0.5% on an NAV (net asset value) basis and fell 4.2% on a market price basis, trailing both of its unleveraged benchmarks. The small-cap Russell 2000 Index gained 4.8% while the Russell Microcap Index increased 6.0% for the same period. The Fund got off to a difficult start, losing more than each benchmark during the bearish January and underperforming for the first quarter as a whole—RMT lost 0.8% on an NAV basis and was down 0.6% on a market price basis compared to a gain of 4.3% for the Russell 2000 and an increase of 3.1% for the Russell Microcap in the opening quarter of 2015.

The second quarter was similarly underwhelming. RMT was up 0.3% on an NAV basis but slipped 3.6% based on market price versus respective second-quarter gains of 0.4% and 2.8% for the small-cap and micro-cap indexes. Long-term results offered more encouragement. The Fund outperformed the Russell 2000 on an NAV basis for the three-, 15-, 20-year, and since inception (12/14/93) periods ended June 30, 2015 while also beating the Russell Microcap for the 10- and 15-year periods ended June 30, 2015. (Returns for the Russell Microcap only go back to 2000.) RMT’s average annual NAV total return since inception was 11.2%.

WHAT WORKED... AND WHAT DIDN’T

When comparing the Fund’s results for the semiannual period to those of its benchmarks, three sectors stand out as problem areas—Consumer Discretionary, Health Care, and Information Technology. Only the first of these sectors, however, posted a net loss in the portfolio, mostly due to dismal results for five industries: the diversified consumer services, media, specialty retail, household durables, and textile, apparel & luxury goods groups. Health Care cut both ways in the first half. It led all of the portfolio’s 10 equity sectors by a good-sized margin, yet its performance paled before that area’s results within the Russell 2000 and Microcap indexes. Much of this can be traced to the Fund being significantly underweight the sector as a whole as well as having very little exposure to biotech stocks, which dominated first-half results for both of RMT’s benchmarks. Most biotech companies, however, lack the fundamental attributes we seek in our holdings. While Information Technology showed a net gain in the Fund for the first half, it also came up short versus that same sector’s results in the small-cap and micro-cap indexes. Two industry groups—Internet software & services and software—fared poorly versus the indexes. As was the case with Consumer Discretionary, we were overweight Information Technology at the end of June and believed that many holdings in both sectors can continue to rebound in concert with a more robustly recovering economy.

The Industrials sector posted respectable net gains on both an absolute and relative basis, keyed by a terrific performance from the Fund’s top contributor, Frontier Services Group. The Hong Kong-based company provides logistical services in Africa and benefited from a large capital gain on a portfolio investment and investor perception that its enhanced liquidity position will help fund FSG’s plan to expand its logistics network. Two of RMT’s top-10 holdings also made solid contributions. Shares of Ohio-based investment management firm Diamond Hill Investment Group climbed over much of the last few years, boosted most recently by strong earnings and growing revenues. Nautilus offers branded health and fitness products such as Schwinn, Bowflex, and Nautilus itself. Its stock gained strength after the firm reported double-digit earnings growth for its fiscal first quarter, part of a multi-year turnaround that kicked off when new management came on board four years ago. New products and operational discipline helped to improve profitability.

As for those positions that detracted from results, we added shares of LeapFrog Enterprises early in the year when its stock was falling. The company makes technology-based educational platforms with curriculum interactive software content and standalone products. Around the same time the firm reported a fiscal third-quarter loss (caused primarily by poor sales and late product shipments), a class action suit was announced. We like its solid brand and think its business has value. EZCORP owns and operates pawn shops. Its stock fell sharply in the first quarter as the firm revised earnings downward before it declined further on news in April that it would delay its fiscal second-quarter earnings release because of an ongoing review of a loan portfolio. We reduced our position in March. Value Line produces investment-related periodical publications and also provides investment advisory services to mutual funds, institutions, and individuals. While the company remained solidly profitable and pays a dividend, its shares trended downward through much of the first half. We were happy to hold shares at the end of June.

CURRENT POSITIONING AND OUTLOOK

The Fund had a significant overweight in Industrials and was also overweight in Consumer Discretionary, Information Technology, and Materials at the end of the semiannual period. We continue to believe that economic growth will accelerate, which should help portfolio holdings in these more cyclical sectors.

Important Performance and Risk Information

All performance information reflects past performance, is presented on a total return basis, and reflects the reinvestment of distributions. Past performance is no guarantee of future results. Current performance may be higher or lower than performance quoted. Returns as of the most recent month-end may be obtained at www.roycefunds.com. Certain immaterial adjustments were made to the net assets of Royce Micro-Cap Trust at 12/31/12 and 12/31/14 for financial reporting purposes, and as a result the net asset value originally calculated on that date and the total return based on that net asset value differs from the adjusted net asset value and total return reported in the Financial Highlights. The market price of the Fund’s shares will fluctuate, so that shares may be worth more or less than their original cost when sold. The Fund normally invests in micro-cap companies, which may involve considerably more risk than investments in securities of larger-cap companies. The Fund’s broadly diversified portfolio does not ensure a profit or guarantee against loss. From time to time, the Fund may invest a significant portion of its net assets in foreign securities, which may involve political, economic, currency and other risks not encountered in U.S. investments. Regarding the “Top Contributors” and “Top Detractors” tables shown on page 8, the sum of all contributors to, and all detractors from, performance for all securities in the portfolio would approximate the Fund’s year-to-date performance for 2015.

		MANAGER’S DISCUSSION

Royce Global Value Trust (RGT)

Chuck Royce

FUND PERFORMANCE

Royce Global Value Trust gained 5.6% on an NAV (net asset value) basis and 3.4% on a market price basis for the year-to-date period ended June 30, 2015, lagging its benchmark, the Russell Global Small Cap Index, which advanced 6.4% for the same period. For most U.S. stocks, 2015 started on a discouraging note while non-U.S. equities had more mixed results. We were disappointed to see the Fund shed more value than the benchmark in January, lag in the bullish February, in which results were driven largely by U.S. and European equities, and fall back into the red in March. In the first quarter, Global Value Trust was up 0.6% on an NAV basis and 0.1% on a market price basis versus 3.9% for the index.

The Fund’s fortunes shifted in the opening month of the second quarter, when it held a generous lead over the global small-cap index on an NAV basis (+5.7% versus +2.3%). Unfortunately, this advantage did not last, and the Fund fell behind during May, when returns were lower though positive, and June, which turned decidedly bearish late in the month thanks to the Greek default and the quickening pace of decline for Chinese stocks. Global Value Trust, however, hung on to its relative edge thanks to its terrific April. For the second quarter, the Fund rose 4.9% on an NAV basis and 3.2% on a market price basis, outpacing the benchmark, which advanced 2.4% for the same period. While the Fund’s initial results have been underwhelming on both an absolute and relative basis, we remain confident that our disciplined, bottom-up approach can be successful.

WHAT WORKED... AND WHAT DIDN’T

Of the Fund’s eight equity sectors, Financials and Industrials—followed by Consumer Discretionary—led performance in the semiannual period. We were pleased that the first of these groups also achieved better results than the sector did within the portfolio’s benchmark while the second had a modestly negative impact relative to the benchmark. Three other sectors—Information Technology, Materials, and Health Care—had a more pronounced adverse effect on relative results. The first two were the largest detractors on an absolute basis as well. The Fund’s two biggest net losses at the position level came from Information Technology and are based in Germany. Aixtron engineers and manufactures metal organic chemical vapor deposition (MOVD) systems used to produce compound semiconductor layer structures for use in LED, laser, solar cell, and other applications. Its stock has been mostly trending downward over the last couple of years and began to fall more steadily late in 2014 and into 2015 as growth in revenues and earnings remained poor. We sold our position in mid-March. LPKF Laser & Electronics develops specialized mechanical engineering products for electronics production, the automotive industry, and in the manufacture of solar cells. After a disappointing 2014, its shares rallied briefly in February only to begin falling again in March after a disappointing first-quarter report led to a wave of selling. We reduced our position in the first half.

At the country level, holdings in the U.S. and Brazil had the largest negative impact on results in the first half. Net losses were somewhat mitigated, however, by holdings in Japan, the U.K., and Hong Kong. The advantage for the third of those nations was largely due to a position in the capital markets industry. Also a top-10 position at the end of June, Value Partners Group is a Hong Kong-based asset manager with a value orientation similar to our own. Its shares benefited from the meteoric rise in the Hong Kong and Shanghai markets in early May before cooling off with the bear market for Chinese stocks in June. We were pleased to see growth in its assets under management and improved performance and management fees, all of which helped its earnings. We trimmed our position before the correction. London-based Clarkson was the Fund’s biggest position at the end of June and second-largest contributor to performance in the first six months of 2015. An investment holding company whose subsidiaries provide integrated shipping services worldwide, its stock began to rise in February and did well through the remainder of 2015’s first half. Strong results for fiscal 2014, which were well ahead of market expectations, and a double-digit growth outlook helped drive performance. The company’s entrance into the FTSE 250 index on the London Stock Exchange in mid-April, a move which mandates that U.K. index funds invest in the stock, also played a part.

CURRENT POSITIONING AND OUTLOOK

As the global economy continues to recover, we continue to look for opportunities in several sectors and regions. At the end of the semiannual period Global Value Trust had substantial overweights in Industrials and Materials while also having greater exposure than its benchmark to Consumer Discretionary and Financials. At the country level the portfolio had far less exposure to the U.S. while having significantly greater exposure to the U.K., Canada, France, Hong Kong, Switzerland, Germany, and Brazil.

Distribution Reinvestment and Cash Purchase Options

Why should I reinvest my distributions?
By reinvesting distributions, a stockholder can maintain an undiluted investment in the Fund. The regular reinvestment of distributions has a significant impact on stockholder returns. In contrast, the stockholder who takes distributions in cash is penalized when shares are issued below net asset value to other stockholders.

How does the reinvestment of distributions from the Royce closed-end funds work?
The Funds automatically issue shares in payment of distributions unless you indicate otherwise. The shares are generally issued at the lower of the market price or net asset value on the valuation date.

How does this apply to registered stockholders?
If your shares are registered directly with a Fund, your distributions are automatically reinvested unless you have otherwise instructed the Funds’ transfer agent, Computershare, in writing, in which case you will receive your distribution in cash. A registered stockholder also may have the option to receive the distribution in the form of a stock certificate.

What if my shares are held by a brokerage firm or a bank?
If your shares are held by a brokerage firm, bank, or other intermediary as the stockholder of record, you should contact your brokerage firm or bank to be certain that it is automatically reinvesting distributions on your behalf. If they are unable to reinvest distributions on behalf, you should have your shares registered in your name in order to participate.

What other features are available for registered stockholders?
The Distribution Reinvestment and Cash Purchase Plans also allow registered stockholders to make optional cash purchases of shares of a Fund’s common stock directly through Computershare on a monthly basis, and to deposit certificates representing your RVT and RMT shares with Computershare for safekeeping. (RGT does not issue shares in certificated form). Plan participants are subject to a $0.75 service fee for each voluntary cash purchase under the Plans. The Funds’ investment adviser absorbed all commissions on optional cash purchases under the Plans through December 31, 2014.

How do the Plans work for registered stockholders?
Computershare maintains the accounts for registered stockholders in the Plans and sends written confirmation of all transactions in the account. Shares in the account of each participant will be held by Computershare in non-certificated form in the name of the participant, and each participant will be able to vote those shares at a stockholder meeting or by proxy. A participant may also send stock certificates for RVT and RMT held by them to Computershare to be held in non-certificated form. RGT does not issue shares in certificated form. There is no service fee charged to participants for reinvesting distributions. If a participant elects to sell shares from a Plan account, Computershare will deduct a $2.50 service fee from the sale transaction. The Funds’ investment adviser absorbed all commissions on optional sales under the Plans through December 31, 2014. If a nominee is the registered owner of your shares, the nominee will maintain the accounts on your behalf.

How can I get more information on the Plans?
You can call an Investor Services Representative at (800) 221-4268 or you can request a copy of the Plan for your Fund from Computershare. All correspondence (including notifications) should be directed to: [Name of Fund] Distribution Reinvestment and Cash Purchase Plan, c/o Computershare, PO Box 43078, Providence, RI 02940-3078, telephone (800) 426-5523 (from 9:00 A.M. to 5:00 P.M.).

Royce Value Trust

Notes to Financial Statements (unaudited)

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies:

Royce Value Trust, Inc. (the "Fund"), is a diversified closed-end investment company that was incorporated under the laws of the State of Maryland on July 1, 1986. The Fund commenced operations on November 26, 1986.

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of income and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

The Fund is an investment company and accordingly follows the investment company accounting and reporting guidance of the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Accounting Standard Codification Topic 946 “Financial Services-Investment Companies”.

VALUATION OF INVESTMENTS:

Securities are valued as of the close of trading on the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) (generally 4:00 p.m. Eastern time) on the valuation date. Securities that trade on an exchange, and securities traded on Nasdaq’s Electronic Bulletin Board, are valued at their last reported sales price or Nasdaq official closing price taken from the primary market in which each security trades or, if no sale is reported for such day, at their highest bid price. Other over-the-counter securities for which market quotations are readily available are valued at their highest bid price, except in the case of some bonds and other fixed income securities which may be valued by reference to other securities with comparable ratings, interest rates and maturities, using established independent pricing services. The Fund values its non-U.S. dollar denominated securities in U.S. dollars daily at the prevailing foreign currency exchange rates as quoted by a major bank. Securities for which market quotations are not readily available are valued at their fair value in accordance with the provisions of the 1940 Act, under procedures approved by the Fund’s Board of Directors, and are reported as Level 3 securities. As a general principle, the fair value of a security is the amount which the Fund might reasonably expect to receive for the security upon its current sale. However, in light of the judgment involved in fair valuations, there can be no assurance that a fair value assigned to a particular security will be the amount which the Fund might be able to receive upon its current sale. In addition, if, between the time trading ends on a particular security and the close of the customary trading session on the NYSE, events occur that are significant and may make the closing price unreliable, the Fund may fair value the security. The Fund uses an independent pricing service to provide fair value estimates for relevant non-U.S. equity securities on days when the U.S. market volatility exceeds a certain threshold. This pricing service uses proprietary correlations it has developed between the movement of prices of non-U.S. equity securities and indices of U.S.-traded securities, futures contracts and other indications to estimate the fair value of relevant non-U.S. securities. When fair value pricing is employed, the prices of securities used by the Fund may differ from quoted or published prices for the same security. Investments in money market funds are valued at net asset value per share.

Various inputs are used in determining the value of the Fund’s investments, as noted above. These inputs are summarized in the three broad levels below:

	Level 1 –	quoted prices in active markets for identical securities.
	Level 2 –	other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar securities, foreign securities that may be fair valued and repurchase agreements). The table below includes all Level 2 securities. Level 2 securities with values based on quoted prices for similar securities are noted in the Schedule of Investments.
	Level 3 –	significant unobservable inputs (including last trade price before trading was suspended, or at a discount thereto for lack of marketability or otherwise, market price information regarding other securities, information received from the company and/or published documents, including SEC filings and financial statements, or other publicly available information).

The inputs or methodology used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities.

The following is a summary of the inputs used to value the Fund’s investments as of June 30, 2015. For a detailed breakout of common stocks by sector classification, please refer to the Schedule of Investments.

	LEVEL 1	LEVEL 2	LEVEL 3	TOTAL

Common Stocks	$1,186,155,432	$23,237,468	$227,497	$1,209,620,397

Cash Equivalents	–	89,420,000	–	89,420,000

For the six months ended June 30, 2015, certain securities have transferred in and out of Level 1 and Level 2 measurements. The Fund recognizes transfers between levels as of the end of the reporting period. At June 30, 2015, securities valued at $79,743,661 were transferred from Level 2 to Level 1 within the fair value hierarchy.

VALUATION OF INVESTMENTS (continued):

Level 3 Reconciliation:

	BALANCE AS OF 12/31/14	PURCHASES	SALES	REALIZED AND UNREALIZED GAIN (LOSS) ¹	BALANCE AS OF 6/30/15

Common Stocks	$ 270,001	$ 0	$ 1	$ (42,503)	$227,497

Preferred Stocks	1,216,350	–	724,062	(492,288)	–

The net change in unrealized appreciation (depreciation) is included in the accompanying Statement of Operations. Change in unrealized appreciation (depreciation) includes net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) resulting from changes in investment values during the reporting period and the reversal of previously recorded unrealized appreciation (depreciation) when gains or losses are realized. Net realized gain (loss) from investments and foreign currency transactions is included in the accompanying Statement of Operations.

REPURCHASE AGREEMENTS:

The Fund may enter into repurchase agreements with institutions that the Fund’s investment adviser has determined are creditworthy. The Fund restricts repurchase agreements to maturities of no more than seven days. Securities pledged as collateral for repurchase agreements, which are held until maturity of the repurchase agreements, are marked-to-market daily and maintained at a value at least equal to the principal amount of the repurchase agreement (including accrued interest). Repurchase agreements could involve certain risks in the event of default or insolvency of the counter-party, including possible delays or restrictions upon the ability of the Fund to dispose of its underlying securities.

FOREIGN CURRENCY:

Net realized foreign exchange gains or losses arise from sales and maturities of short-term securities, sales of foreign currencies, expiration of currency forward contracts, currency gains or losses realized between the trade and settlement dates on securities transactions, and the difference between the amounts of dividends, interest, and foreign withholding taxes recorded on the Fund’s books and the U.S. dollar equivalent of the amounts actually received or paid. Net unrealized foreign exchange gains and losses arise from changes in the value of assets and liabilities, including investments in securities at the end of the reporting period, as a result of changes in foreign currency exchange rates.

SECURITIES LENDING:

The Fund loans securities through a lending agent to qualified institutional investors for the purpose of realizing additional income. Collateral for the Fund on all securities loaned is accepted in cash and cash equivalents and invested temporarily by the custodian. The collateral maintained is at least 100% of the current market value of the loaned securities. The market value of the loaned securities is determined at the close of business of the Fund and any additional required collateral is delivered to the Fund on the next business day. The Fund retains the risk of any loss on the securities on loan as well as incurring the potential loss on investments purchased with cash collateral received for securities lending. The Fund’s securities lending income consists of the income earned on investing cash collateral, plus any premium payments received for lending certain securities, less any rebates paid to borrowers and lending agent fees associated with the loan. The lending agent is not affiliated with Royce.

TAXES:

As a qualified regulated investment company under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code, the Fund is not subject to income taxes to the extent that it distributes substantially all of its taxable income for its fiscal year. The Schedule of Investments includes information regarding income taxes under the caption “Tax Information”.

CAPITAL GAINS TAXES:

The Fund is subject to a tax imposed on short-term capital gains on securities of issuers domiciled in certain countries. The Fund records an estimated deferred tax liability for these securities that have been held for less than one year. This amount, if any, is reported as deferred capital gains tax in the accompanying Statement of Assets and Liabilities, assuming those positions were disposed of at the end of the period, and accounted for as a reduction in the market value of the security.

DISTRIBUTIONS:

The Fund pays quarterly distributions on the Fund’s Common Stock at the annual rate of 7% of the rolling average of the prior four calendar quarter-end NAVs of the Fund’s Common Stock, with the fourth quarter distribution being the greater of 1.75% of the rolling average or the distribution required by IRS regulations. Prior to November 15, 2012, distributions to Preferred Stockholders were accrued daily and paid quarterly. Distributions to Common Stockholders are recorded on ex-dividend date. Distributable capital gains and/or net investment income were first allocated to Preferred Stockholder distributions, with any excess allocable to Common Stockholders. If capital gains and/or net investment income were allocated to both Preferred and Common Stockholders, the tax character of such allocations was proportional. To the extent that distributions are not paid from long-term capital gains, net investment income or net short-term capital gains, they will represent a return of capital. Distributions are determined in accordance with income tax regulations that may

2015 Semiannual Report to Stockholders | 27

Royce Value Trust

Notes to Financial Statements (unaudited) (continued)

DISTRIBUTIONS (continued):

differ from accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Permanent book and tax differences relating to stockholder distributions will result in reclassifications within the capital accounts. Undistributed net investment income may include temporary book and tax basis differences, which will reverse in a subsequent period. Any taxable income or gain remaining undistributed at fiscal year end is distributed in the following year.

INVESTMENT TRANSACTIONS AND RELATED INVESTMENT INCOME:

Investment transactions are accounted for on the trade date. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date. Non-cash dividend income is recorded at the fair market value of the securities received. Interest income is recorded on an accrual basis. Premium and discounts on debt securities are amortized using the effective yield-to-maturity method. Realized gains and losses from investment transactions are determined on the basis of identified cost for book and tax purposes.

EXPENSES:

The Fund incurs direct and indirect expenses. Expenses directly attributable to the Fund are charged to the Fund’s operations, while expenses applicable to more than one of the Royce Funds are allocated equitably. Certain personnel, occupancy costs and other administrative expenses related to the Funds are allocated by Royce & Associates, LLC (“Royce”) under an administration agreement and are included in administrative and office facilities and professional fees. The Fund has adopted a deferred fee agreement that allows the Directors to defer the receipt of all or a portion of directors’ fees otherwise payable. The deferred fees are invested in certain Royce Funds until distributed in accordance with the agreement.

COMPENSATING BALANCE CREDITS:

The Fund has an arrangement with its custodian bank, whereby a portion of the custodian’s fee is paid indirectly by credits earned on the Fund’s cash on deposit with the bank. This deposit arrangement is an alternative to purchasing overnight investments. Conversely, the Fund pays interest to the custodian on any cash overdrafts, to the extent they are not offset by credits earned on positive cash balances.

Capital Stock:

The Fund issued 1,382,488 and 3,894,284 shares of Common Stock as reinvestment of distributions for the six months ended June 30, 2015 and the year ended December 31, 2014, respectively.

Borrowings:

The Fund has entered into a revolving credit agreement (the credit agreement) with BNP Paribas Prime Brokerage Inc. (BNPP). The Fund pays a commitment fee of 0.50% per annum on the unused portion of the credit agreement. The credit agreement has a 360-day rolling term that resets daily; however, if the Fund exceeds certain net asset value triggers, the credit agreement may convert to a 60-day rolling term that resets daily. The Fund is required to pledge portfolio securities as collateral in an amount up to two times the loan balance outstanding and has granted a security interest in the securities pledged to, and in favor of, BNPP as security for the loan balance outstanding. If the Fund fails to meet certain requirements, or maintain other financial covenants required under the credit agreement, the Fund may be required to repay immediately, in part or in full, the loan balance outstanding under the credit agreement necessitating the sale of portfolio securities at potentially inopportune times. The credit agreement also permits, subject to certain conditions, BNPP to rehypothecate portfolio securities pledged by the Fund up to the amount of the loan balance outstanding. The Fund continues to receive payments in lieu of dividends and interest on rehypothecated securities. The Fund also has the right under the credit agreement to recall the rehypothecated securities from BNPP on demand. If BNPP fails to deliver the recalled security in a timely manner, the Fund is compensated by BNPP for any fees or losses related to the failed delivery or, in the event a recalled security is not returned by BNPP, the Fund, upon notice to BNPP, may reduce the loan balance outstanding by the amount of the recalled security failed to be returned. The Fund receives a portion of the fees earned by BNPP in connection with the rehypothecation of portfolio securities.

As of June 30, 2015, the Fund has outstanding borrowings of $70,000,000. During the six months ended June 30, 2015, the Fund borrowed an average daily balance of $70,000,000 at a weighted average borrowing cost of 1.22%. The maximum amount outstanding during the six months ended June 30, 2015 was $70,000,000. As of June 30, 2015, the aggregate value of rehypothecated securities was $65,665,298. During the six months ended June 30, 2015, the Fund earned $265,265 in fees from rehypothecated securities.

Investment Advisory Agreement:

As compensation for its services under the Investment Advisory Agreement, Royce receives a fee comprised of a Basic Fee (“Basic Fee”) and an adjustment to the Basic Fee based on the investment performance of the Fund in relation to the investment record of the S&P SmallCap 600 Index (“S&P 600").

28 | 2015 Semiannual Report to Stockholders

Royce Value Trust

Notes to Financial Statements (unaudited) (continued)

Investment Advisory Agreement (continued):

The Basic Fee is a monthly fee equal to 1/12 of 1% (1% on an annualized basis) of the average of the Fund’s month-end net assets applicable to Common Stockholders, plus the liquidation value of outstanding Preferred Stock, for the rolling 60-month period ending with such month (the "performance period"). The Basic Fee for each month is increased or decreased at the rate of 1/12 of .05% for each percentage point that the investment performance of the Fund exceeds, or is exceeded by, the percentage change in the investment record of the S&P 600 for the performance period by more than two percentage points. The performance period for each such month is a rolling 60-month period ending with such month. The maximum increase or decrease in the Basic Fee for any month may not exceed 1/12 of .5%. Accordingly, for each month, the maximum monthly fee rate as adjusted for performance is 1/12 of 1.5% and is payable if the investment performance of the Fund exceeds the percentage change in the investment record of the S&P 600 by 12 or more percentage points for the performance period, and the minimum monthly fee rate as adjusted for performance is 1/12 of .5% and is payable if the percentage change in the investment record of the S&P 600 exceeds the investment performance of the Fund by 12 or more percentage points for the performance period.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, Royce is not entitled to receive any fee for any month when the investment performance of the Fund for the rolling 36-month period ending with such month is negative. In the event that the Fund’s investment performance for such a performance period is less than zero, Royce will not be required to refund to the Fund any fee earned in respect of any prior performance period.

For the six rolling 60-month periods ended June 2015, the Fund’s investment performance ranged from 37% to 45% below the investment performance of the S&P 600. Accordingly, the net investment advisory fee consisted of a Basic Fee of $5,855,318 and a net downward adjustment of $2,927,659 for the performance of the Fund relative to that of the S&P 600. For the six months ended June 30, 2015, the Fund accrued and paid Royce investment advisory fees totaling $2,927,659.

Purchases and Sales of Investment Securities:

For the six months ended June 30, 2015, the costs of purchases and proceeds from sales of investment securities, other than short-term securities, amounted to $207,153,233 and $277,887,228, respectively.

Transactions in Affiliated Companies:

An “Affiliated Company” as defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940, is a company in which a fund owns 5% or more of the company’s outstanding voting securities at any time during the period. The Fund effected the following transactions in shares of such companies for the six months ended June 30, 2015:

Royce Micro-Cap Trust, Inc. (the “Fund”), is a diversified closed-end investment company that was incorporated under the laws of the State of Maryland on September 9, 1993. The Fund commenced operations on December 14, 1993.

The inputs or methodology used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities.

COMPENSATING BALANCE CREDITS:

Capital Stock:

The Fund issued 686,578 and 3,505,620 shares of Common Stock as reinvestment of distributions for the six months ended June 30, 2015 and year ended December 31, 2014, respectively.

Borrowings:

As of June 30, 2015, the Fund has outstanding borrowings of $60,000,000. During the six months ended June 30, 2015, the Fund borrowed an average daily balance of $60,000,000 at a weighted average borrowing cost of 1.22%. The maximum amount outstanding during the six months ended June 30, 2015 was $60,000,000. As of June 30, 2015, the aggregate value of rehypothecated securities was $57,832,231. During the six months ended June 30, 2015, the Fund earned $115,684 in fees from rehypothecated securities.

Investment Advisory Agreement:

The Basic Fee is a monthly fee equal to 1/12 of 1% (1% on an annualized basis) of the average of the Fund’s month-end net assets applicable to Common Stockholders, plus the liquidation value of outstanding Preferred Stock, for the rolling 36-month period ending with such month (the “performance period”). The Basic Fee for each month is increased or decreased at the rate of 1/12 of .05% for each percentage point that the investment performance of the Fund exceeds, or is exceeded by, the percentage change in the investment record of the Russell 2000 for the performance period by more than two percentage points. The performance period for each such month is a rolling 36-month period ending with such month. The maximum increase or decrease in the Basic Fee for any month may not exceed 1/12 of .5%. Accordingly, for each month, the maximum monthly fee rate as adjusted for performance is 1/12 of 1.5% and is payable if the investment performance of the Fund exceeds the percentage change in the investment record of the Russell 2000 by 12 or more percentage points for the performance period, and the minimum monthly fee rate as adjusted for performance is 1/12 of .5% and is payable if the percentage change in the investment record of the Russell 2000 exceeds the investment performance of the Fund by 12 or more percentage points for the performance period.

For the six rolling 36-month periods ended June 2015, the Fund’s investment performance ranged from 1% to 2% below the investment performance of the Russell 2000. Accordingly, the net investment advisory fee consisted of a Basic Fee of $1,922,807 and no adjustment for the performance of the Fund relative to that of the Russell 2000. For the six months ended June 30, 2015, the Fund accrued and paid Royce investment advisory fees totaling $1,922,807.

Purchases and Sales of Investment Securities:

For the six months ended June 30, 2015, the costs of purchases and proceeds from sales of investment securities, other than short-term securities, amounted to $67,772,993 and $90,086,737, respectively.

VALUATION OF INVESTMENTS:

Various inputs are used in determining the value of the Fund’s investments, as noted above. These inputs are summarized in the three broad levels below:

	Level 1 –	quoted prices in active markets for identical securities.
	Level 2 –	other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar securities, foreign securities that may be fair valued and repurchase agreements). The table below includes all Level 2 securities. Any Level 2 securities with values based on quoted prices for similar securities would be noted in the Schedule of Investments.
	Level 3 –	significant unobservable inputs (including last trade price before trading was suspended, or at a discount thereto for lack of marketability or otherwise, market price information regarding other securities, information received from the company and/or published documents, including SEC filings and financial statements, or other publicly available information).

The inputs or methodology used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities.

The following is a summary of the inputs used to value the Fund’s investments as of June 30, 2015. For a detailed breakout of common stocks by country, please refer to the Schedule of Investments.

DISTRIBUTIONS AND TAXES:

The Fund pays any dividends and capital gain distributions annually in December. Because federal income tax regulations differ from generally accepted accounting principles, income and capital gain distributions determined in accordance with tax regulations may differ from net investment income and realized gains recognized for financial reporting purposes. Accordingly, the character of distributions and composition of net assets for tax purposes differ from those reflected in the accompanying financial statements.

Board Approval of Investment Advisory Agreements

At meetings held on June 3-4, 2015, the Funds’ respective Boards of Directors, including all of the non-interested directors, approved the continuance of the Investment Advisory Agreements between Royce & Associates, LLC (“R&A”) and each of Royce Value Trust, Inc., Royce Micro-Cap Trust, Inc., and Royce Global Value Trust, Inc. (each, a “Fund” and collectively, the “Funds”). In reaching these decisions, each Board reviewed the materials provided by R&A, which included, among other things, information prepared internally by R&A and independently by Morningstar Associates, LLC (“Morningstar”) containing detailed expense ratio and investment performance comparisons for the Funds with other funds in their respective “peer groups”, information regarding the past performance of the Funds and other registered investment companies managed by R&A and a memorandum outlining the legal duties of each Board prepared by independent counsel to the non-interested directors. R&A also provided the directors with an analysis of its profitability with respect to providing investment advisory services to each of the Funds. In addition, each Board took into account information furnished throughout the year at regular Board meetings, including reports on investment performance, stockholder services, regulatory compliance, brokerage commissions and research, and brokerage and execution products and services provided to the Funds. Each Board also considered other matters it deemed important to the approval process, such as allocation of Fund brokerage commissions, “soft dollar” research services R&A receives and other direct and indirect benefits to R&A and its affiliates, from their relationship with the relevant Fund. The directors also met throughout the year with investment advisory personnel from R&A. Each Board, in its deliberations, recognized that, for many of the Funds’ stockholders, the decision to purchase Fund shares included a decision to select R&A as the investment adviser and that there was a strong association in the minds of Fund stockholders between R&A and each Fund. In considering factors relating to the approval of the continuance of the Investment Advisory Agreements, the non-interested directors received assistance and advice from, and met separately with, their independent counsel. While the Investment Advisory Agreements were considered at the same Board meetings, the Boards dealt with each agreement separately. Among other factors, the directors considered the following:

The nature, extent and quality of services provided by R&A: Each Board considered the following factors to be of fundamental importance to its consideration of whether to approve the continuance of the relevant Fund’s Investment Advisory Agreement: (i) R&A’s more than 40 years of value investing experience and track record; (ii) the history of long-tenured R&A portfolio managers managing the Funds; (iii) R&A’s focus on mid-cap, small-cap and micro-cap value investing; (iv) the consistency of R&A’s approach to managing the Funds and open-end mutual funds over more than 40 years; (v) the integrity and high ethical standards adhered to at R&A; (vi) R&A’s specialized experience in the area of trading small- and micro-cap securities; (vii) R&A’s historical ability to attract and retain portfolio management talent and (viii) R&A’s focus on stockholder interests as exemplified by expansive stockholder reporting and communications. Each Board reviewed the services that R&A provides to each Fund, including, but not limited to, managing each Fund’s investments in accordance with the stated policies of each Fund. Each Board considered the fact that R&A provided certain administrative services to the Funds at cost pursuant to the Administration Agreement between the Funds and R&A. Each Board determined that the services to be provided to each Fund by R&A would be the same as those that it previously provided to the relevant Fund. The Boards also took into consideration the histories, reputations and backgrounds of R&A’s portfolio managers for the Funds, finding that these would likely have an impact on the continued success of the Funds. Lastly, each Board noted R&A’s ability to attract and retain qualified and experienced personnel. The directors concluded that the investment advisory services provided by R&A to each Fund compared favorably to services provided by R&A to other R&A client accounts, including other funds, in both nature and quality, and that the scope of services provided by R&A would continue to be suitable for the Funds.

Investment performance of the Funds and R&A: In light of R&A’s risk-averse approach to investing, each Board believes that risk-adjusted performance continues to be the most appropriate measure of each Fund’s investment performance. One measure of risk-adjusted performance the Boards use in their review of the Funds’ performance is the Sharpe Ratio. The Sharpe Ratio is a risk-adjusted measure of performance developed by Nobel Laureate William Sharpe. It is calculated by dividing a fund’s annualized excess returns by its annualized standard deviation to determine reward per unit of risk. The higher the Sharpe Ratio, the better a fund’s historical risk-adjusted performance. The Boards attach primary importance to risk-adjusted performance over relatively long periods of time, typically 3 to 10 years. It was noted, however, that Royce Global Value Trust, Inc. (“RGT”) only commenced operations in October 2013. Using Morningstar data, the Sharpe Ratio for Royce Value Trust, Inc. (“RVT”) placed in the 4th quartile within the Small Blend category assigned by Morningstar for the 3-year, 5-year, and 10-year periods ended December 31, 2014 while the Sharpe Ratio for Royce Micro-Cap Trust, Inc. (“RMT”) placed in the 3rd quartile within the same Morningstar category for those same periods. It was noted that each of RVT and RMT focuses on high quality companies (e.g., those with solid balance sheets, low leverage, the ability to generate and effectively allocate free cash flow, and strong returns on invested capital), which hurt their relative performance during the recent market period that has been marked by historically low interest rates and U.S. Federal Reserve market intervention. In addition, the past use of leverage by each of RVT and RMT through preferred stock created higher volatility and worse down market performance. The Sharpe Ratio for RGT placed in the third quartile within the Foreign Small/Mid Value category assigned by Morningstar for the 1-year period ended December 31, 2014. The Board noted the inherent limitations of a one-year Sharpe Ratio in evaluating RGT’s investment performance.

In addition to each Fund’s risk–adjusted performance, each Board also reviewed and considered each Fund’s absolute total returns, down market performance, and long-term performance records for periods of 10 years and longer for RVT and RMT. Each Board also considered it important to look beyond the current snapshot of performance as of December 31, 2014 and therefore examined extended performance histories for each Fund using monthly rolling average return periods through March 31, 2015.

Each Board noted that R&A manages a number of funds that invest in micro-cap, small-cap, and mid-cap issuers, many of which had outperformed their benchmark indexes and their competitors during preceding periods. Although each Board recognized that past performance is not necessarily an indicator of future results, it found that R&A had the necessary qualifications, experience and track record in managing micro-cap, small-cap, and mid-cap securities to manage the relevant Fund. The directors determined that R&A continued to be an appropriate investment adviser for the Funds and concluded that each Fund’s performance supported the renewal of its Investment Advisory Agreement.

Cost of the services provided and profits realized by R&A from its relationship with the Funds: Each Board considered the cost of the services provided by R&A and profits realized by R&A from its relationship with each Fund. As part of the analysis, each Board

56 | 2015 Semiannual Report to Stockholders

Board Approval of Investment Advisory Agreements (continued)

discussed with R&A its methodology in allocating its costs to each Fund and concluded that its allocations were reasonable. Each Board concluded that R&A’s profits were reasonable in relation to the nature and quality of services provided.

    The extent to which economies of scale would be realized as the Funds grow and whether fee levels would reflect such economies of scale: Each Board considered whether there have been economies of scale in respect of the management of each Fund, whether each Fund has appropriately benefited from any economies of scale and whether there is potential for realization of any further economies of scale. Each Board noted the time and effort involved in managing portfolios of micro-, small- and mid-cap stocks and that they did not involve the same efficiencies as do portfolios of large-cap stocks. Each Board concluded that the current fee structure for each Fund was reasonable, that stockholders sufficiently participated in economies of scale and that no changes were currently necessary.

    Comparison of services to be rendered and fees to be paid to those under other investment advisory contracts, such as contracts of the same and other investment advisers or other clients: Each Board reviewed the investment advisory fee paid by each Fund and compared both the services to be rendered and the fees to be paid under the Investment Advisory Agreements to other contracts of R&A and to contracts of other investment advisers to registered investment companies investing in small- and micro-cap stocks, as provided by Morningstar. In the case of RVT, its Board noted that it had a 1.00% basic fee that is subject to adjustment up or down (up to 0.50% in either direction) based on its performance versus the S&P 600 SmallCap Index over a rolling period of 60 months. The fee is charged on average net assets over that rolling period. As a result, in a rising market, the fee will be smaller than a fee calculated on the current year’s average net assets, and vice versa. The Board determined that the performance adjustment feature continued to serve as an appropriate incentive to R&A to manage RVT for the benefit of its long-term common stockholders. The Board also noted that the fee arrangement, which also includes a provision for no fee in periods where RVT’s trailing three-year performance is negative, requires R&A to measure RVT’s performance monthly against the S&P 600, an unmanaged index. Instead of receiving a set fee regardless of its performance, R&A is penalized for poor performance. The Board noted that RVT’s net expense ratio placed it in the 1st percentile within its Morningstar peer group for 2014. In the case of RMT, the Board noted that it also had a 1.00% basic fee subject to adjustment up or down based on its performance versus the Russell 2000 Index over a rolling 36 month period. The fee is charged on average net assets over that rolling period. As a result, in a rising market, the fee will be smaller than a fee calculated on the current year’s average net assets, and vice versa. The Board determined that the performance adjustment feature continued to serve as an incentive to R&A to manage RMT for the benefit of its long-term common stockholders. The Board noted that RMT’s net expense ratio placed it in the 1st quartile when compared against its Morningstar peer group for 2014. Finally, in the case of RGT, the Board noted that its net expense ratio based on average net assets fell within the 75th percentile of its Morningstar-assigned open-end peer group, 15 basis points above the Morningstar peer group median.

    Each Board also noted that R&A manages the relevant Fund in an active fashion. The industry accepted metric for measuring how actively an equity portfolio is managed is called “active share.” In particular, active share measures how much the holdings of an equity portfolio differ from the holdings of its appropriate passive benchmark index. At the extremes, a portfolio with no holdings in common with the benchmark would have 100% active share, while a portfolio that is identical to the benchmark would have 0% active share. R&A presented a chart to the Boards which demonstrated that funds with high active share scores had higher expense ratios than funds with lower active share scores due to the resources required for the active management of those funds.

    Each Board also considered fees charged by R&A to institutional and other clients and noted that, given the greater levels of services that R&A provides to registered investment companies such as the Funds as compared to other accounts, the base investment advisory fee for RVT and RMT and the advisory fee for RGT compared favorably to the investment advisory fees charged to those other accounts.

    It was noted that no single factor was cited as determinative to the decision of the directors. Rather, after weighing all of the considerations and conclusions discussed above, each entire Board, including all of the non-interested directors, approved the continuation of the existing Investment Advisory Agreement, concluding that a contract continuation on the existing terms was in the best interest of the stockholders of each Fund and that each investment advisory fee rate was reasonable in relation to the services provided.

    The Price-Earnings, or P/E, Ratio is calculated by dividing a company’s share price by its trailing 12-month earnings-per share (EPS). The Price-to-Book, or P/B, Ratio is calculated by dividing a company’s share price by its book value per share. The Morningstar Style Map uses proprietary scores of a stock’s value and growth characteristics to determine its placement in one of the five categories listed on the horizontal axis. These characteristics are then compared to those of other stocks within the same market capitalization band. Each is scored from zero to 100 for both value and growth attributes. The value score is subtracted from the growth score to determine the overall style score. For the vertical, market cap axis, Morningstar subdivides into size groups. Giant-cap stocks are defined as those that account for the top 40% of the capitalization of each style zone; large-cap stocks represent the next 30%; mid-cap stocks the next 20%; small-cap stocks the next 7%; micro-cap stocks the smallest 3%.
