DIsclosure oF FunD expenses (unauDITeD)

As a shareholder of the U.S. Treasury Money Market Fund (the “Fund”), you will not incur any transaction costs, including sales charges (loads) on purchases, on reinvested dividends, or on other distributions. There are also no redemption fees or exchange fees. However, the Fund does incur ongoing costs, including management fees and other Fund expenses. The following example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds. The example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested on November 1, 2007 and held until April 30, 2008.

Actual Return. 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 “Expense Paid During Period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.

Hypothetical 5% Return. 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 the 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 the other funds.

The expenses shown in the table on the next page are meant to highlight ongoing Fund costs. 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.

(1)	Prior to April 25, 2008, Financial Investors Trust included U.S. Treasury and Prime Money Market Funds. As previously disclosed to shareholders, on March 11, 2008, the Board of Trustees of the Financial Investors Trust authorized an orderly liquidation of the Prime Money Market Fund (the “Prime Fund”), subject to shareholder approval. Effective March 11, 2008, the Prime Fund was closed to new investors in preparation for the liquidation. As of April 25, 2008, no shareholders remained in the Prime Fund, and operations had ceased.

*	Expenses are equal to the annualized expense ratio of .33% multiplied by the average account value over the period, multiplied by the number of days in the first half-year divided by 366 days in the current year (to reflect the one-half year period).

To the Shareholders and Board of Directors of U.S. Treasury Money Market Fund of Financial Investors Trust:

We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities of U.S. Treasury Money Market Fund of Financial Investors Trust (the”Fund”), including the statement of investments, as of April 30, 2008, and the related statement of operations for the year then ended, the statements of changes in net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended, and the financial highlights for each of the five years the period then ended. These financial statements and financial highlights are the responsibility of the Fund’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and financial highlights based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements and financial highlights are free of material misstatement. The Fund is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audits included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Fund’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of April 30, 2008, by correspondence with the custodian and brokers. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements and financial highlights referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of U.S. Treasury Money Market Fund of Financial Investors Trust as of April 30, 2008, the results of its operations for the year then ended, the changes in its net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended, and the financial highlights for each of the five years the period then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Financial Investors Trust, a Delaware statutory trust (the”Trust”), is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, as an open-end management investment company. The financial statements included herein relate to the Trust’s U.S. Treasury Money Market Fund (the “Fund”). Prior to April 25, 2008, the Trust included U.S. Treasury and Prime Money Market Funds. On March 11, 2008, the Board of Trustees of the Trust authorized a liquidation of the Prime Money Market Fund (the “Prime Fund”), subject to shareholder approval. Effective March 11, 2008, the Prime Fund was closed to new investors. As of April 25, 2008, no shareholders remained in the Prime Fund, and operations had ceased. The financial statements for the remaining operational funds of the Trust, American Freedom U.S. Government Money Market Fund (formerly known as U.S. Government Money Market Fund) and Listed Private Equity Fund, are stated separately.

The following is a summary of significant accounting policies consistently followed by the Fund in the preparation of its financial statements. The policies are in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Investment Valuation: The Fund values securities utilizing the amortized cost method of valuation under Rule 2a-7 of the 1940 Act, pursuant to which the Fund must adhere to certain conditions. Under this method, investments are valued initially at cost and thereafter assume a constant amortization to maturity of any discount or premium.

Fair Value Measurements: The Fund adopted the provisions of Financial Accounting Standards Board Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 157 (“FAS 157”),”FairValue Measurements,” on January 1, 2008. FAS 157 established a three-tier hierarchy to establish classification of fair value measurements for disclosure purposes. Inputs refer broadly to the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability, including assumptions about risk. Inputs may be observable or unobservable. Observable inputs are inputs that reflect the assumptions market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability that are 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 asset or liability that are developed based on the best information available.

Various inputs are used in determining the value of the Fund’s investments as of the reporting period end. These inputs are categorized in the following hierarchy under applicable financial accounting standards:

Level 1 – Quoted prices in active markets for identical investments

Level 2 – Other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar investments, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.)

Level 3 – Significant unobservable inputs (including the Fund’s own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments)

noTes To FInancIal sTaTemenTs

The following is a summary of the inputs used to value the Fund’s investments as of April 30, 2008.

	Investments in		Other Financial
Valuation Inputs	Securities		Instruments(a)
Level 1-Quoted Prices	$	36,652,000	—
Level 2-Other Significant Observable Inputs	—		—
Level 3-Significant Unobservable Inputs	—		—
Total	$	36,652,000	—

(a) Other financial instruments are derivative instruments not reflected in the Schedule of Investments, such as written options, short sales, currency contracts, futures, forward contracts and swap contracts.

For the year ended April 30, 2008, the Fund did not have significant unobservable inputs (Level 3) used in determining fair value. Therefore, a reconciliation of assets in which significant unobservable inputs (Level 3) were used in determining fair value is not applicable.

Investment Transactions and Investment Income: Investment transactions are accounted for on the date the investments are purchased or sold (trade date). Realized gains and losses from investment transactions are reported on an identified cost basis, which is the same basis the Fund uses for federal income tax purposes. Interest income, which includes accretion of discounts, is accrued and recorded as earned.

Repurchase Agreements: In some cases, the Fund’s custodian takes possession of the collateral pledged for investments in repurchase agreements, unless it is a tri-party repurchase agreement. The underlying collateral is valued daily on a mark-to-market basis to ensure that value, including accrued interest, is at least equal to the repurchase price. In the event of default on the obligation to repurchase, the Fund has the right to liquidate the collateral and apply the proceeds in satisfaction of the obligation. Under certain circumstances, in the event of default by or bankruptcy of the other party to the agreement, realization and/or retention of the collateral may be subject to legal proceedings.

Federal Income Taxes: It is the Fund’s policy to continue to comply with provisions of the Internal Revenue Code applicable to regulated investment companies and to distribute all of their taxable income to shareholders. Therefore, no provision for federal income tax is included in the accompanying financial statements.

At April 30, 2008, the Fund had available for federal income tax purposes unused capital loss carryovers of:

	Capital Loss	Year of
Fund	Carryovers	Expiration
U.S.Treasury Money Market Fund	668	2013

noTes To FInancIal sTaTemenTs

Classification of Distributions to Shareholders: Dividends from net investment income are declared daily and paid monthly. Distributions of accumulated net realized gains, if any, are declared at least once a year. Net investment income (loss) and net realized gain (loss) may differ for financial statement and tax purposes. The character of distributions made during the year from net investment income or net realized gains may differ from its ultimate characterization for federal income tax purposes. Also, due to the timing of dividend distributions, the fiscal year in which amounts are distributed may differ from the fiscal year in which the income or realized gain was recorded by the Fund.

The tax character of the distributions paid by the Fund during the years ended April 30, 2008 and 2007, respectively, were as follows:

	U.S Treasury Money Market
Distributions paid from	2008		2007
Ordinary Income	$	1,590,752	$	1,706,222
Total	$	1,590,752	$	1,706,222

As of April 30, 2008, the components of distributable earnings on a tax basis were as follows:

	U.S Treasury Money Market
Undistributed ordinary income	$	464
Accumulated net realized loss	(668		)
Total	$	204

Accounting Standards: In June 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued FASB Interpretation No. 48, “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes,” that requires the tax effects of certain tax positions to be recognized. These tax positions must meet a”more likely than not” standard that, based on their technical merits, have a more than 50 percent likelihood of being sustained upon examination. FASB Interpretation No. 48 is effective for fiscal periods beginning after December 15, 2006. At adoption, the financial statements must be adjusted to reflect only those tax positions that are more likely than not of being sustained. As of October 31, 2007 management of the Funds has evaluated the application of FASB Interpretation No. 48 to the Funds and has determined that there is no material impact resulting from the adoption of this interpretation on the Funds’ financial statements. The Fund files income tax returns in the U.S. federal jurisdiction and the State of Colorado. The statute of limitations on the Fund’s federal tax return filings remains open for the years ended April 30, 2005 through April 30, 2008. The Fund’s Colorado tax return filings remain open for the years ended April 30, 2004 through April 30, 2008. To our knowledge there are no federal or Colorado income tax returns currently under examination.

Expenses: Some expenses of the Trust can be directly attributed to a fund or a fund specific share class. Expenses which cannot be directly attributed are apportioned among all funds in the Trust based on average net assets.

noTes To FInancIal sTaTemenTs

Use of Estimates: 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 disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from these estimates.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements: In February 2007, the FASB issued FASB Statement No. 159, “The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities including an amendment of FASB Statement No. 115” (“SFAS No. 159”), which permits entities to choose to measure many financial instruments and certain other items at fair value. This Statement is expected to expand the use of fair value measurement, which is consistent with the FASB’s long-term measurement objectives for accounting for financial instruments. This Statement is effective as of the beginning of an entity’s first fiscal year that begins after November 15, 2007. Management of the Funds is currently evaluating the potential impact the adoption of SFAS No. 159 will have on the Funds’ financial statements.

INVESTMENT ADVISORY FEES, ADMINISTRATION FEES AND OTHER RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

On September 4, 2007, the Trust’s Board of Trustees renewed and approved the Investment Advisory Agreement between the Trust and SSgA Funds Management, Inc. (“SSgA FM” or the “Adviser”). Pursuant to this advisory agreement, SSgA FM is entitled to an advisory fee at the annual rate of 0.105% of the Fund’s average net assets. SSgA FM has voluntarily agreed to waive 0.035% of their advisory fee until assets for the Fund reaches $1 billion.

ALPS Fund Services, Inc. (“ALPS”) serves as the Funds’ administrator. ALPS is entitled to receive a fee from the Fund for its administrative services, computed daily and payable monthly based on the following fee schedule:

Average Net Assets*
First $500 million	.26	%
Next $500 million	.24	%
In excess of $1 billion	.22	%

* Subject to a minimum monthly fee of $50,000

AMERICAN FREEDOM

U.S. GOVERNMENT

MONEY MARKET FUND

Annual Report

April 30, 2008

	Formerly Known as the U.S. Government Money Market Fund

	FINANCIAL INVESTORS TRUST

DISCLOSURE OF FUND EXPENSES (UNAUDITED)

As a shareholder of the American Freedom U.S. Government Money Market Fund (the “Fund”), you will not incur any transaction costs, including sales charges (loads) on purchases, on reinvested dividends, or on other distributions. There are also no redemption fees or exchange fees. However, the Fund does incur ongoing costs, including management fees and other Fund expenses. The following example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds. The example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested on November 1, 2007 and held until April 30, 2008.

Actual Return. The first line of the table below 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 “Expense Paid During Period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.

Hypothetical 5% Return. The second line of the table below 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 the 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 the other funds.

The expenses shown in the table below are meant to highlight ongoing Fund costs. 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.

	Beginning Account Value 11/1/07		Ending Account Value 4/30/08		Expense Paid During Period 11/1/07-4/30/08*
Actual Fund Return	$	1,000.00	$	1,043.09	$	1.07
Hypothetical 5% Return	$	1,000.00	$	1,023.82	$	1.06

Prior to November 30, 2006, the American Freedom U.S. Government Money Market Fund, a series of Financial Investors Trust, was known as the Financial Investors Trust U.S. Government Money Market Fund.

* Expenses are equal to the annualized expense ratio of .20%, multiplied by the average account value over the period, multiplied by the number of days in the first half-year divided by 366 days in the cur- rent year (to reflect the one-half year period).

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Financial Investors Trust (the “Trust”) was organized as a Delaware statutory trust and registered as an open-end management investment company under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (“1940 Act”). Prior to November 30, 2006, the American Freedom U.S. Government Money Market Fund (the “Fund”) was known as the Financial Investors Trust U.S. Government Money Market Fund which is one of three separate series offered to the public under the Trust. The financial statements included herein relate solely to the Trust’s American Freedom Family of Funds which includes only the U.S. Government Money Market Fund. The financial statements of the remaining funds of the Trust are presented separately. The Fund historically offered two classes of shares (Class I and Class II). On September 27, 2006, shareholders were informed that Class II was closed to new investors. As of October 12, 2006, no shareholders remained in Class II of the Fund and therefore Class II ceased operations on October 25, 2006. The Fund has one share class, Class I, which incurs ongoing fees, but is not subject to sales and redemption charges along with other types of shareholder fees. The Fund’s principal investment policy is to invest in direct obligations of the U.S. Treasury , and other direct obligations of the U.S government or its agencies, and repurchase agreements collateralized by the U.S Treasury obligations.

Fair Value Measurements: The Fund adopted the provisions of Financial Accounting Standards Board Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 157 (“FAS 157”), “Fair Value Measurements,” on January 1, 2008. FAS 157 established a three-tier hierarchy to establish classification of fair value measurements for disclosure purposes. Inputs refer broadly to the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability, including assumptions about risk. Inputs may be observable or unobservable. Observable inputs are inputs that reflect the assumptions market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability that are 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 asset or liability that are developed based on the best information available.

Various inputs are used in determining the value of each Fund’s investments as of the reporting period end. These inputs are categorized in the following hierarchy under applicable financial accounting standards:

Level 1 – Quoted prices in active markets for identical investments

Level 2 – Other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar investments, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.)

Level 3 – Significant unobservable inputs (including the Fund’s own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments)

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

The following is a summary of the inputs used to value the Fund’s investments as of April 30, 2008.

Valuation Inputs	Investments in Securities		Other Financial Instruments(1)
Level 1-Quoted Prices	$	434,910,231	—
Level 2-Other Significant Observable Inputs	—		—
Level 3-Significant Unobservable Inputs	—		—
Total	$	434,910,231	—

(1) Other financial instruments are derivative instruments not reflected in the Schedule of Investments, such as written options, short sales, currency contracts, futures, forward contracts and swap contracts.

Federal Income Taxes: It is the Fund’s policy to continue to comply with provisions of the Internal Revenue Code applicable to regulated investment companies and to distribute all of its taxable income to shareholders. Therefore, no provision for federal income tax is included in the accompanying financial statements.

Accounting Standards: In June 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued FASB Interpretation No. 48, (“FIN 48”) “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes”, that requires the tax effects of certain tax positions to be recognized. These tax positions must meet a “more likely than not” standard that, based on their technical merits, have a more than 50 percent likelihood of being sustained upon examination. FASB Interpretation No. 48 is effective for fiscal periods beginning after December 15, 2006. As of April 30, 2008, the Fund reviewed the tax positions and determined the implementation of FIN 48 resulted in no liability for unrecognized tax benefits and no change to the beginning net asset value of the Funds. The Fund files income tax returns in the U.S. federal jurisdiction and the State of Colorado. The statute of limitations on the Fund’s federal tax return filings remains open for the years ended April 30, 2005 through April 30, 2008. The Fund’s Colorado tax return filings remain open for the years ended April 30, 2004 through April 30, 2008. To our knowledge there are no federal or Colorado income tax returns currently under examination.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

The tax character of the distributions paid by the Funds during the years ended April 30, 2008 and 2007, respectively, were as follows:

	2008		2007
Distributions paid from:
Ordinary Income	$	20,563,282	$	16,517,563
Total	$	20,563,282	$	16,517,563

As of April 30, 2008, the components of distributable earnings on a tax basis were as follows:

Undistributed ordinary income	$	1,490
Accumulated net realized gain	24,302
Total	$	25,792

Recent Accounting Pronouncements: In February 2007, the FASB issued FASB Statement No. 159, “The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities Including an amendment of FASB Statement No. 115” (“SFAS No. 159”), which permits entities to choose to measure many financial instruments and certain other items at fair value. This Statement is expected to expand the use of fair value measurement, which is consistent with the FASB’s long-term measurement objectives for accounting for financial instruments. This Statement is effective as of the beginning of an entity’s first fiscal year that begins after November 15, 2007. Management of the Fund is currently evaluating the potential impact the adoption of SFAS No. 159 will have on the Fund’s financial statements.

SHAREHOLDER LETTER (UNAUDITED)

We welcome you as the first shareholders in the Listed Private Equity Fund. We appreciate your confidence in Red Rocks as the investment manager. Our goal is simple: to provide investors with a globally diversified portfolio of quality publicly-listed private equity companies.*

Private Equity is a long term investment strategy that can reward those who are patient. Many of the world’s most sophisticated investors have long embraced private equity in their asset allocation models and have been amply rewarded with their long term view of the asset class. This fund will be managed with a similar approach; identifying and investing in long term, high quality publicly-listed private equity companies.

The past 9-12 months have posed some significant challenges for the investment world. The credit and equity markets have been shaken by the de-levering within the financial system. This has led to disruptions and uncertain valuations for a large number of companies worldwide. Within the private equity sector, we believe the market has overstated the impact that such events will have on transactions and valuations of businesses, especially those involving leverage. Large, well-publicized, international, leveraged buyouts are only one example of the many successful private equity strategies that have worked well over the past few years. While there are exceptions to the rule, the majority of private equity firms are not highly dependent on large amounts of debt to consummate their deals and make their investments work. Smaller private equity investments, those that we would define as less than $1 billion, require modest amounts of debt. Such examples include mezzanine debt, recapitalizations, mid-market trade sales, management buy-outs, venture capital and seed investing. While the prevailing view of the relationship between private equity and the global capital markets, especially the credit and debt markets, detracted from performance during the period, current market conditions have traditionally produced bargain valuations.

The current market provides investors with opportunities as well as value traps. In our opinion, names such as KKR Private Equity Investors LP and Conversus Capital LP, two of our larger holdings, provide good long term values. We are optimistic about our current portfolio allocations, both domestic and international. To date, our diversified style focus has been on the companies invested in the smaller end of the buy-out world and the larger end of mid-market transactions, with a heavier weighting toward mid-to-late stage investments. Our portfolio remains indirectly diversified in terms of industry and geography, with the largest positions in the UK, Europe, Russia and North America. We expect to selectively expand our exposure in Asia, Latin America and Eastern Europe throughout 2008, as we find new opportunities.

* Publicly-listed private equity companies means securities of U.S. and non-U.S. companies listed on a national securities exchange, or foreign equivalent, that have a majority of their assets invested in or exposed to private companies or have as its stated intention to have a majority of its assets invested in or exposed to private companies.

LISTED PRIVATE EQUITY FUND DIVERSIFICATION**

Stage of Investment		Geographic Diversification

Industry Diversification

**Provided by Red Rocks Capital LLC. Reflects the percentages of the underlying investments of the listed private equity companies owned by the Fund as of 4/30/08.

April 30, 2008 marked the Fund’s first four months of existence. During that period, the Fund was down - -5.30% compared with
- -6.02% and -4.28% for the S&P Listed Private Equity Index(2) and the MSCI World Index(3), respectively.

The performance of our top holdings was mixed during the period. KKR Private Equity Investors LP and Conversus Capital LP were detractors during the period. KKR Private Equity Investors LP is an example of a firm that was hurt by negative press and mis-perception. We believe that both KKR Private Equity Investors LP and Conversus Capital LP are currently undervalued and we are optimistic about the future prospects for both firms because their underlying investments are sound, well managed and diversified.

Ratos AB and Babcock & Brown Infrastructure Group had strong performance during the period and are good examples of high quality mid-size firms that we like. Ratos’ performance was aided by the recent acquisition of a top quality Swiss medical device company.

Our nearer-term outlook for the private equity market is conservative. We expect to see overall returns in the asset class moderate when compared to the above-trend performance that was shown during the last few years. However, we expect that the recent credit upheaval will have a limited impact on the long-term value of many of our holdings. Low interest rates and falling business valuations should bode well for private equity returns in the future. As 2008 matures, it should be an active year for private equity, as many firms have large amounts of cash waiting to be deployed. We are comfortable with the positioning of the Fund and believe that our focus on smaller, high-quality firms located outside the U.S. will benefit over the longer-term.

Thank you again for your investment in the Listed Private Equity Fund. We believe that your long-term growth of capital will be rewarding.

Sincerely,

Adam Goldman

DISCLOSURE OF FUND EXPENSES (UNAUDITED)

As a shareholder of Listed Private Equity Fund (the “Fund”), you will incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including applicable sales charges (loads) and redemption fees; and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees, distribution and service (12b-1) fees, shareholder service fees and other Fund expenses. The following examples are intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the 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 December 31, 2007 and held until April 30, 2008.

Actual Return. 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.

The expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight ongoing Fund costs only and do not reflect transaction fees, such as sales charges, redemption fees, or exchange fees. Therefore, the second line of the table on the next page 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.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

To the Shareholders and Board of Directors of Listed Private Equity Fund of Financial Investors Trust:

We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities of Listed Private Equity Fund of Financial Investors Trust (the “Fund”), including the statement of investments, as of April 30, 2008, and the related statement of operations, the statement of changes in net assets, and the financial highlights for the period from December 31, 2007 (inception) to April 30, 2008. These financial statements and financial highlights are the responsibility of the Fund’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and financial highlights based on our audit.

We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements and financial highlights are free of material misstatement. The Fund is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audit included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Fund’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of April 30, 2008, by correspondence with the custodian and brokers. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1. ORGANIZATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Financial Investors Trust (the “Trust”) was organized as a Delaware statutory trust on November 30, 1993, and registered as an open-end management investment company under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (“1940 Act”). The Listed Private Equity Fund (the “Fund”) is one of three separate series offered to the public under the Trust. This Fund commenced operations on December 31, 2007. The Fund has three classes of shares authorized: Class A, Class I and Class R. Each class differs as to sales and redemption charges and ongoing fees. 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 affecting only individual classes. The Fund’s investment objective is to achieve maximum total return consisting of appreciation on its investment and a variable income stream.

Investment Valuation: For the purpose of pricing purchase and redemption orders, the net asset value per share of each class of the Fund is calculated separately and is determined once daily as of the close of regularly scheduled trading on the NYSE (normally, 4 p.m. Eastern time). With respect to the Fund, such calculation is determined on each day that the NYSE is open for trading, i.e., Monday through Friday, except for New Year’s Day, Martin Luther King, Jr. Day, Presidents’ Day, Good Friday, Memorial Day, Independence Day, Labor Day, Thanksgiving Day and Christmas Day, and the preceding Friday or subsequent Monday when one of those holidays falls on a Saturday or Sunday, respectively.

In calculating net asset value, equity securities listed or traded on national securities exchanges are valued at the last sale price or, if there have been no sales on that day, at the mean of the current bid and ask price which represents the current value of the security. Over-the-counter securities are valued at the mean of the current bid and ask price.

Portfolio securities listed on the NASDAQ National Market System for which market quotations are available are valued at the official closing price. If there is no official closing price, the securities are valued at the last sale price or, if there have been no sales that day, at the mean of the current bid and ask price which represents the current value of the security.

Securities that are primarily traded on foreign exchanges generally are valued at the preceding closing values of such securities on their respective exchanges, except that when an occurrence subsequent to the time a value was so established

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

is likely to have changed such value, then the fair value of those securities will be determined by consideration of other factors by or under the direction of the Fund’s Board of Trustees or its delegates. In valuing assets, prices denominated in foreign currencies are converted to U.S. dollar equivalents at the current exchange rate. Securities may be valued by independent pricing services which use prices provided by market-makers or estimates of market values obtained from yield data relating to instruments or securities with similar characteristics. Short-term obligations with maturities of 60 days or less are valued at amortized cost, which constitutes fair value as determined by the Board of Trustees. Amortized cost involves valuing an instrument at its original cost to a Fund and thereafter assuming a constant amortization to maturity of any discount or premium, regardless of the impact of fluctuating interest rates on the market value of the instrument. All other securities and other assets of a Fund will be valued at fair value as determined in good faith pursuant to procedures adopted by the Board of Trustees of the applicable Fund.

All other securities and other assets are carried at their fair value as determined in good faith by or under the direction of the Board of Trustees. The Fund generally values their holdings, including fixed income securities, through the use of independent pricing agents, except for securities for which a readily available market does not exist, which are valued under the direction of the Board of Trustees or by the Sub-Advisors using methodologies approved by the Board of Trustees. The valuation methodologies include, but are not limited to, the analysis of the effect of any restrictions on the sale of the security, product development and trends of the security’s issuer, changes in the industry and other competing companies, significant changes in the issuer’s financial position and any other event that could have a significant impact on the value of the security.

Fair Value Measurements: The Fund adopted the provisions of Financial Accounting Standards Board Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 157 (“FAS 157”), “Fair Value Measurements,” on December 31, 2007. FAS 157 established a three-tier hierarchy to establish classification of fair value measurements for disclosure purposes. Inputs refer broadly to the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability, including assumptions about risk. Inputs may be observable or unobservable. Observable inputs are inputs that reflect the assumptions market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability that are 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 asset or liability that are developed based on the best information available.

Various inputs are used in determining the value of the Fund investments as of the reporting period end. These inputs are categorized in the following hierarchy

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

under applicable financial accounting standards:

· Level 1 – Quoted prices in active markets for identical investments

· Level 2 – Other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar investments, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.)

· Level 3 – Significant unobservable inputs (including the Fund’s own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments)

The following is a summary of the inputs used to value the Fund’s investments as of April 30, 2008.

	Investments		Other Financial
Valuation Inputs	in Securities		Instruments(a)
Level 1-Quoted Prices	$	863,591	—
Level 2-Other Significant Observable Inputs	—		—
Level 3-Significant Unobservable Inputs	—		—
Total	$	863,591	—

(a)

Other financial instruments are derivative instruments not reflected in the Schedule of Investments, such as written options, short sales, currency contracts, futures, forward contracts and swap contracts.

For the period ended April 30, 2008, the Fund did not have significant unobservable inputs (Level 3) used in determining fair value. Therefore, a reconciliation of assets in which significant unobservable inputs (Level 3) were used in determining fair value is not applicable.

In February 2007, the FASB issued FASB Statement No. 159, “The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities including an amendment of FASB Statement No. 115” (“SFAS No. 159”), which permits entities to choose to measure many financial instruments and certain other items at fair value. This Statement is expected to expand the use of fair value measurement, which is consistent with the FASB’s long-term measurement objectives for accounting for financial instruments. This Statement is effective as of the beginning of an entity’s first fiscal year that begins after November 15, 2007. Management has concluded there is no impact on the adoption of SFAS No. 159 on the Fund’s financial statements.

Foreign Securities: The Fund may directly purchase securities of foreign issuers.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Investing in securities of foreign issuers involves special risks not typically associated with investing in securities of U.S. issuers. The risks include possible revaluation of currencies, the inability to repatriate the Fund, less complete financial information about companies and possible future adverse political and economic developments. Moreover, securities of many foreign issuers and their markets may be less liquid and their prices more volatile than those of securities of comparable U.S. issuers.

Foreign Currency Translation: The books and records of the Fund are maintained in U.S. dollars. Investment valuations and other assets and liabilities initially expressed in foreign currencies are converted each business day into U.S. dollars based upon current exchange rates. Prevailing foreign exchange rates may generally be obtained at the close of the NYSE, normally 4:00 p.m. Eastern Time. As available and as provided by an appropriate pricing service, translation of foreign security and currency market values may also occur with the use of foreign exchange rates obtained at approximately 11:00 a.m. Eastern Time, which approximates the close of the London Exchange. The portion of unrealized gains or losses on investments due to fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates is not separately disclosed.

Forward Foreign Currency Transactions: The Fund may engage in currency transactions with counterparties to hedge the value of portfolio securities denominated in particular currencies against fluctuations in relative value, to gain or reduce exposure to certain currencies, or to generate income or gains. All commitments are marked to market daily at the applicable exchange rates and any resulting unrealized gains or losses are recorded in the Fund’s financial statements. The Fund records realized gains or losses at the time a forward contract is offset by entry into a closing transaction or extinguished by delivery of the currency. The Fund did not have forward foreign currency contracts at April 30, 2008.

Expenses: Some expenses of the Trust can be directly attributed to a fund for a fund specific share class. Expenses which cannot be directly attributed are apportioned among all funds in the Trust based on average net assets.

Use of Estimates: The Fund’s financial statements are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. This requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of increases and decreases in net assets from operations during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from these estimates.

Federal Income Taxes: The Fund complies with the requirements under Sub-chapter M of the Internal Revenue Code applicable to regulated investment

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

companies and intends to distribute substantially all of its net taxable income and net capital gains, if any, each year. The Fund is not subject to income taxes to the extent such distributions are made.

Distributions to Shareholders: The Fund normally pays dividends and distributes capital gains, if any, on an annual basis. Income dividend distributions are derived from interest and other income the Fund receives from its investments and include distributions of short-term capital gains. Capital gain distributions are derived from gains realized when the Fund sells a security it has owned for more than a year. The Fund may make additional distributions and dividends at other times if the manager believes doing so may be necessary for a Fund to avoid or reduce taxes. Net investment income (loss) and net realized gain (loss) may differ for financial statement and tax purposes. The character of distributions made during the year from net investment income or net realized gains may differ from its ultimate characterization for federal income tax purposes. Also, due to the timing of dividend distributions, the fiscal year in which amounts are distributed may differ from the fiscal year in which the income or realized gain was recorded by a Fund.

Components of Earnings: At April 30, 2008, permanent differences in book and tax accounting were reclassified. These differences had no effect on net assets and were primarily attributed to differences in book and tax distributions, differing tax treatment of foreign currency and certain other investments and treatment of net investment loss. The reclassifications were as follows:

	Increase/(Decrease)	Increase/(Decrease)
	Accumulated Net	Accumulated
Increase/(Decrease)	Investment	Net Realized
Paid in-capital	Income/(Loss)	Gain/(Loss)
(1,747)	938	809

As of April 30, 2008, the components of distributable earnings on a tax basis were as follows:

	2008
Undistributed ordinary income	$	18,078
Accumulated net realized gain	115
Unrealized Depreciation	(31,290		)
Other Cumulative Effect of Timing Differences	(1,072		)
Total	$	(14,169	)

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

technical merits, have a more than 50 percent likelihood of being sustained upon examination. FASB Interpretation No. 48 is effective for fiscal periods beginning after December 15, 2006. As of April 30, 2008, the Fund reviewed the tax positions and determined the implementation of FIN 48 resulted in no liability for unrecognized tax benefits and no change to the beginning net asset value of the Funds. The Fund files income tax returns in the U.S. federal jurisdiction and the State of Colorado. The statute of limitations on the Fund’s federal tax return filings remains open for the years ended April 30, 2008. The Fund’s Colorado tax return filings remain open for the years ended April 30, 2008. To our knowledge there are no federal or Colorado income tax returns currently under examination.

Net Unrealized Appreciation/Depreciation of investments based on Federal tax cost as of April 30, 2008 were as follows:

	2008
Gross Appreciation (excess of value over tax cost)	$	34,815
Gross Depreciation (excess of tax cost over value)	(66,100		)
Net Appreciation (excess of value over tax cost) of Foreign Securities and derivatives	15
	$	(31,290	)

Cost of Investments for income tax purposes	$	894,876

Post October Loss: Under current tax law, capital and currency losses realized after October 31 may be deferred and treated as occurring on the first day of the following fiscal year. For the Fiscal year ended April 30, 2008, the Fund elected to defer currency losses occurring between December 31, 2007 (inception date) and April 30th, 2008 in the amount of $272.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements: In March 2008, FASB issued FASB Statement No. 161, (“SFAS No. 161”) “Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities”, which is intended to improve financial reporting about derivative instruments and hedging activities. It is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after November 15, 2008. The Fund is currently evaluating the potential impact, if any, the adoption of SFAS No. 161 will have on the Fund’s financial statements.

3. MANAGEMENT AND RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

ALPS Advisers, Inc. (“AAI” or “Adviser”), subject to the authority of the Board of Trustees (“Trustees”), is responsible for the overall management and administration of the Fund’s business affairs. AAI has delegated daily management of Fund assets to Red Rocks Capital LLC (“RRC”) as investment sub-adviser to the fund, who is paid by AAI and not the Fund. RRC manages the investments of the Fund in accordance with its investment objective, policies and limitations and investment guidelines established by the Adviser and the Trustees. Pursuant to the Investment Advisory Agreement (the “Advisory Agreement”), the Fund pays AAI an annual management fee of 0.85% based on the Fund’s average daily net assets. Pursuant to an Investment Subadvisory Agreement, AAI pays RRC an annual sub-advisory management fee of 0.57% based on the Fund’s average daily net assets. AAI is required to pay all fees due to RRC out of the management fee AAI receives from the Fund. For the period ended April 30, 2008, the Fund incurred $1,739 of management fees, before the waiver and reimbursement described below, with $0 remaining payable at April 30, 2008.

AAI and RRC have contractually agreed with the Listed Private Equity Fund to limit the amount of the Fund’s total annual expenses (exclusive of distribution and service (12b-1) fees, acquired fund fees and expenses, brokerage expenses, interest expense, taxes and extraordinary expenses) to 1.00 % of the Fund’s average daily net assets. This agreement is in effect through April 30, 2009 and is reevaluated on an annual basis. Without this agreement, expenses

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

could be higher. In addition, the Fund’s organizational expenses have been borne by AAI. The Adviser will be permitted to recover, on a class by class basis, expenses it has borne through the agreement described above to the extent that the Fund’s expenses in later periods fall below the annual rates set forth in the relevant agreement. The Fund will not be obligated to pay any such deferred fees and expenses more than one year after the end of the fiscal year in which the fee and expense was deferred. For the period ended April 30, 2008, AAI waived management fees of $1,739 and reimbursed $75,520 of Fund expenses.

ALPS Distributors, Inc. (an affiliate of ALPS) (“ADI” or the “Distributor”) acts as the distributor of the Fund’s shares pursuant to a Distribution Agreement with the Trust. Shares are sold on a continuous basis by ADI as agent for the Fund, and ADI has agreed to use its best efforts to solicit orders for the sale of Fund shares, although it is not obliged to sell any particular amount of shares. ADI is not entitled to any compensation for its services as Distributor. ADI is registered as a broker-dealer with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

The Fund has adopted a Distribution and Services Plan (the “Plan”) pursuant to rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act for each share class. The Plan allows the Fund to use its Class A and Class R assets to pay fees in connection with the distribution, marketing and/or the provision of shareholder services to Class A and R shareholders. The Plan permits payment for services in connection with the administration of plans or programs that use Class A and R shares of the Fund as their funding medium and for related expenses. The Plan permits the Fund to make total payments at an annual rate of up to 0.25% and 0.50% of the Fund’s average daily net assets attributable to its Class A and Class R shares, respectively. Because these fees are paid out of a Fund’s share class assets on an ongoing basis, over time they will increase the cost of an investment in Class A and Class R shares, and Plan fees may cost an investor more than other types of sales charges.

ALPS Fund Services, Inc. (“ALPS” or “Administrator”) serves as administrator to the Fund and has agreed to pay expenses incurred in connection with its administrative activities. Pursuant to an Administrative Agreement, ALPS will provide operational services to the Fund including, but not limited to fund accounting, fund administration, and generally assist in the Fund’s operations. The Annual Administrative Fee will be billed monthly, in the amount of: (i) 8 basis points of Fund’s average net assets between $0 - $500 million; and (ii) 6 basis points of Fund’s average net assets between $500 million - $1billion; and (iii) 4 basis points of Fund’s average net assets over $1 billion.

3. DISCLOSURE REGARDING APPROVAL OF INVESTMENT ADVISORY AND SUB-ADVISORY AGREEMENTS

On September 4, 2007, the Trustees met in person to discuss, among other things, the approval of the Advisory Agreement between the Listed Private Equity Fund and AAI, and the Sub-Advisory Agreement between AAI and RRC in accordance with Section 15(c) of the Investment Company Act of 1940. In approving the Advisory and Sub-Advisory Agreements, the Trustees, including the Independent Trustees, considered the following factors with respect to the Fund:

Investment Advisory Fee Rate

The Trustees reviewed and considered the contractual advisory fee annual rate of 0.85% of the Fund’s average daily total assets paid by the Trust to the Adviser in light of the extent and quality of the advisory services provided by the Adviser. The Trustees also reviewed and considered the contractual sub-advisory fee annual rate of 0.57% of the Fund’s average daily total assets paid by the Adviser to RRC in light of the extent and quality of the sub-advisory services provided by RRC. The Board received and considered information comparing the Fund’s contractual advisory fee and overall expenses with those of funds in both the relevant expense group and universe of funds provided by an independent provider of investment company data. Based on such information, the Trustees further determined that the total expense ratio of 1.00% for the Listed Private Equity Fund, net of any fee waivers in place, is comparable to others within such Fund’s peer universe.

Nature, Extent and Quality of the Services under the Advisory Agreement and Sub-Advisory Agreement

The Trustees received and considered information regarding the nature, extent and quality of services provided to the Fund under the Advisory Agreement and Sub-

Advisory Agreement. The Trustees reviewed certain background materials supplied by the Adviser and RRC in response to the questionnaires and supplemental questionnaire provided by the Trust, including each of their Forms ADV.

The Trustees considered the background and experience of the Adviser’s and RRC’s management in connection with the Fund, including reviewing the qualifications, backgrounds and responsibilities of the management team primarily responsible for the day-to-day portfolio management of the Fund and the extent of the resources devoted to research and analysis of actual and potential investments.

The Trustees also reviewed, among other things, the Adviser’s and RRC’s client transactions, insider trading policies and procedures and a description of each of the Adviser’s and RRC’s respective code of ethics.

Performance

The Trustees noted that since the Fund has not yet begun operations, there was no performance to be reviewed or analyzed at this time.

Adviser’s and RRC’s Profitability

The Trustees received and considered a profitability analysis of the Adviser and RRC based on the fees payable under the Advisory and Sub-Advisory Agreements. The Trustees considered the profits, if any, anticipated to be realized by the Adviser and RRC in connection with the operation of the Fund.

Economies of Scale

The Trustees considered whether economies of scale in the provision of services to the Fund were being passed along to the shareholders. The Trustees considered whether any economies of scale, fall out benefits or any other direct or indirect benefits would result from the relationship with the Adviser and RRC.

Other Benefits to the Adviser and RRC

The Trustees reviewed and considered any other benefits derived or to be derived by the Adviser and RRC from their relationship with the Fund.

Conclusions

In selecting the Adviser and RRC and approving the Advisory and Sub-Advisory Agreements and the fees charged under such agreements, the Trustees concluded that no single factor reviewed by the Trustees was identified by the Trustees to be determinative as the principal factor in whether to approve the Advisory and Sub-Advisory Agreements. Further, the Independent Trustees were advised by separate independent legal counsel throughout the process.

The Trustees, including a majority of Independent Trustees, concluded that:

· the investment advisory and sub-advisory fees received by the Adviser and RRC with respect to the Fund were comparable to others within such Fund’s peer universe;

· �� the nature, extent and quality of services rendered by the Adviser under the Advisory Agreement and by RRC under the Sub-Advisory Agreement was adequate;

· the Fund had no performance record at this time;

· the profit, if any, anticipated to be realized by the Adviser and RRC in connection with the operation of the Fund was fair to the Trust, especially in light of the fee waiver agreement between the Trust, the Adviser and RRC;

· the relatively small size of the Fund did not permit for economies of scale in the Adviser’s and RRC’s provision of services to the Fund; and

· there were no material other benefits accruing to the Adviser and RRC in connection with the Adviser’s and RRC’s relationship with the Fund.

Based on the Trustees’ deliberations and their evaluation of the information described above, the Trustees, including all of the Independent Trustees, concluded that the Adviser’s and RRC’s compensation for investment advisory and sub-advisory services is consistent with the best interests of the Fund and its shareholders.
