There wasn't a unifying theme that drove performance in the last year. In the previous twelve months, Crescent's top five performers contributed 6.19% to its return, while its bottom five detracted 1.54%.

Of the contributors and detractors listed, we haven't recently addressed Open Text and Broadcom. We have discussed most of the other positions in the last year, which you can find in our archived commentaries.
Open Text was a relatively short-lived holding in comparison to our typical time frame. We were attracted to this Canadian-based provider of enterprise software due to its stable revenue stream. More than 80% of Open Text's revenue was recurring, which helped deliver attractive mid-30s EBITDA margins. We considered the business to have a sticky customer base that included 97 of the 100 largest companies in the world. Purchased at a low double-digit multiple to after-tax free cash flow, we expected to own the company for years, with capital deployment going towards dividends, buybacks, and small bolt-on acquisitions, as it had in the past. Unfortunately, to our surprise, while we owned the stock, Open Text announced a relatively large acquisition in the form of UK-based Micro Focus. Familiar with the target, we were unenthused about both the asset and increased debt on the balance sheet from funding the purchase, so we chose to exit stage left rather than try to re-write our investment thesis.5​

In contrast to our short-lived ownership of Open Text, Broadcom has been a holding for just short of five years. At the time of our original purchase, the company was primarily focused on driving organic growth in its existing semiconductor franchises and acquiring new ones when the opportunity presented itself. As potential acquisition candidates in the industry became scarce, management, led by highly regarded Hock Tan, pivoted to set their sights on the software industry, culminating in several acquisitions. Unlike Open Text, in this instance, after multiple discussions with senior management, we found ourselves comfortable with the company's new strategy after re-examining the investment implications. We are glad we did, as it would be an understatement to say that Broadcom has gone from strength to strength over the past five years, improving operating margins, aggressively repurchasing shares, and increasing the dividend, all the while continuing to execute its M&A strategy flawlessly.
"Risk on" in 2023 has replaced the fear that drove markets lower in 2022. How much of this rebound will ultimately be supported by corporate earnings has yet to be seen. While there is always something to fear, we prefer to focus on the future prospects of the businesses we own. Focusing on the destination makes the big potholes in the road feel more like small speed bumps and prevents us from executing panicked driving maneuvers.
Looking back at the past 18 months, there was certainly no shortage of opportunities to take down risk exposure as macro concerns, from interest rates to war, seemed to grow by the day. But as in prior market declines, we attempted to lean into the market and add to either new or existing names where our estimates of the risk/reward improved with each leg down. While we will never get it perfectly right, using the MSCI ACWI as a proxy, in the downturn from January 5, 2022 through the market low of October 12, 2022, Crescent experienced a drop in value of 16.96%. While not ideal, this was more palatable than the ACWI's 26.36% decline in the same period. Including the decline, the Fund's recovery also puts us in the plus column (+1.00%), as compared to the ACWI, which is still in the red (-7.44%).6​
Looking forward, we do not offer a market forecast or make predictions about interest rates, the economy, or other significant macro issues because we don't know anyone who can do so consistently (ourselves included). We submit the following to show the futility of forecasting. In the last eighteen years, the consensus view only expected the market to increase, yet it declined 22% of the time. Further, the Wall Street consensus estimate of how the S&P 500 will perform (ex-dividends) in the next twelve months, from 2005 to 2022, usually missed the mark, often by quite a lot — 53.6% and 28.9% too high in 2008 and 2022; and 16.9% and 21.0% too low in 2013 and 2021. On average, the "experts" missed by 11.4%, quite a lot, particularly when compared to the S&P's 6.6% annualized return (before dividends) over the same period. We, therefore, direct our efforts from the bottom up rather than the top down.

S&P 500 Actual vs Wall Street Analysts' Forecasted Returns Ex-Dividends7​
FPA Crescent — The First 30 years
The FPA Crescent Fund celebrated its 30th​ anniversary in June. We are pleased the Fund has met its goal of generating equity-like returns over the long-term through multiple market cycles over its thirty-year history, achieving this favorable track record by focusing on a margin of safety, which meant shunning, at times, investments that may have been temporarily in favor.
More specifically, since inception, Crescent has exposed investor capital to less risk than the equity market, on average, generating 95% of the S&P 500's wealth creation while "risking" just 65% of the dollars invested in the Fund, with 53% invested in common stocks and 12% in more senior instruments such as corporate bonds.8​ Reducing risk further, the Fund has avoided any meaningful interest rate exposure and has eschewed the use of leverage.
7​  Source: Bloomberg; Chart shows actual S&P 500 price returns excluding dividends minus Wall Street analyst estimates. Chart period is 2005-2022.
8​  Note: The performance noted is since inception, but the average net risk exposure of 65% and portfolio allocations reflect the period March 1, 1996 — June 30, 2023, and is shown for the Institutional Class shares. Data prior to March 1, 1996 is not available. If included, these statistics may differ materially, depending upon the time period.

For those who prefer less up and down, especially when price moves precipitate an often-inappropriate action — buy or sell, Crescent's mandate is as relevant to investors today as when the Fund launched in 1993. Though we don't know what the next thirty years hold, we strive to continue to offer a similar investor experience. These last three decades have given us surprises and market excess; the recent pandemic, the internet bubble, September 11, millennia-low interest rates, and the Great Financial Crisis, to name a few. We will be surprised, but probably not astonished, in the future. We promise to remain thoughtful and calm as we continue to steward your capital, traits that allow us to lean in when there's the opportunity and tilt away when there is none, like when we increased risk exposure during the Great Financial Crisis and Covid, but reduced it in the preceding periods.
While Steven founded the Fund, Brian and Mark have been around for about half its existence. During this period, we would like to think we have pushed each other to evolve and stay relevant, and fingers crossed, our continuing education is far from over. However regardless of the times, we think sensible optimism mixed with a dash of prudence will never go out of fashion, even if our haircuts may.
Closing
Steven reflected on his last thirty-eight years in a recent speech at the Morningstar Conference titled "Evolution of a Value Investor," available on our website, www.fpa.com. He also wrote a chapter introduction for the new 7th​ Edition of Graham & Dodd's Security Analysis. We will have copies available for those joining us in Boston on September 12 for our 30th​-anniversary celebration and investor update (details are available by emailing crm@fpa.com).
Thank you for entrusting us with your capital since 1993, but as we say goodbye to the past, we look forward to what the future holds.
Respectfully submitted,

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
June 30, 2023
(Unaudited)
NOTE 1 — Significant Accounting Policies
FPA Crescent Fund (the "Fund"), a series of the FPA Funds Trust, is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940 as an open-end, diversified, management investment company. The Fund's investment objective is to seek to generate equity-like returns over the long-term, take less risk than the market and avoid permanent impairment of capital. The Fund qualifies as an investment company pursuant to Financial Accounting Standard Board (FASB) Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) No. 946, Financial Services — Investment Companies.
The following is a summary of significant accounting policies consistently followed by the Fund in the preparation of its financial statements.
A.  Security Valuation
The Fund's investments are reported at fair value as defined by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, ("U.S. GAAP"). The Fund generally determines its net asset value as of approximately 4:00 p.m. New York time each day the New York Stock Exchange is open. Further discussion of valuation methods, inputs and classifications can be found under Disclosure of Fair Value Measurements.
B.  Securities Transactions and Related Investment Income
Securities transactions are accounted for on the date the securities are purchased or sold. Dividend income and distributions to shareholders are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Interest income and expenses are recorded on an accrual basis. Market discounts and premiums on fixed income securities are amortized over the expected life of the securities using effective interest rate method. Realized gains or losses are based on the specific identification method. The books and records of the Fund are maintained in U.S. dollars as follows: (1) the foreign currency fair value of investment securities, and other assets and liabilities stated in foreign currencies, are translated using the daily spot rate; and (2) purchases, sales, income and expenses are translated at the rate of exchange prevailing on the respective dates of such transactions. The resultant exchange gains and losses are included in net realized or net unrealized gain (loss) in the statement of operations.
C.  Use of Estimates
The preparation of the financial statements in accordance with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
D.  Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In March 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-04, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848) Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting, which provides optional expedients and exceptions for applying U.S. GAAP to contracts, hedging relationships, and other transactions to ease the potential burden in accounting for (or recognizing the effects of) reference rate reform on financial reporting if certain criteria are met. The guidance is effective from March 12, 2020 through December 31, 2024. The Adviser is currently evaluating the impact of this new guidance on the Fund's financial statements.
In June 2022, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2022-03, Fair Value Measurement of Equity Securities Subject to Contractual Sale Restrictions ("ASU 2022-03"). ASU 2022-03 clarifies the guidance in ASC 820, related to the measurement of the fair value of an equity security subject to contractual sale restrictions, where it eliminates the ability to apply a discount to fair value of these securities, and introduces disclosure requirements related to such equity securities. The guidance is effective for fiscal years,
25
FPA CRESCENT FUND
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)
(Unaudited)
and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2023, and allows for early adoption. Management is currently evaluating the impact of applying this update.
Effective January 24, 2023, the SEC adopted rule and form amendments to require mutual funds and ETFs to transmit concise and visually engaging streamlined annual and semiannual reports to shareholders that highlight key information deemed important for retail investors to assess and monitor their fund investments. Other information, including financial statements, will no longer appear in the funds' streamlined shareholder reports but must be available online, delivered free of charge upon request, and filed on a semiannual basis on Form N-CSR. The rule and form amendments have a compliance date of July 24, 2024. At this time, management is evaluating the impact of these rule and form amendment changes on the content of the current shareholder report and the newly created annual and semiannual streamlined shareholder reports.
NOTE 2 — Risk Considerations
Investing in the Fund may involve certain risks including, but not limited to, those described below.
Market Risk: Because the values of the Fund's investments will fluctuate with market conditions, so will the value of your investment in the Fund. You could lose money on your investment in the Fund or the Fund could underperform other investments.
Common Stocks and Other Securities (Long): The prices of common stocks and other securities held by the Fund may decline in response to certain events taking place around the world, including; those directly involving companies whose securities are owned by the Fund; conditions affecting the general economy; overall market changes; local, regional or global political, social or economic instability; and currency, interest rate and commodity price fluctuations.
Common Stocks and Other Securities (Short): The prices of common stocks and other securities sold short rise between the date of the short sale and the date on which the Fund replaces the borrowed security. In addition, the Fund repays the person that lent it the security for any interest or dividends that may have accrued.
Interest Rate and Credit Risk: The values of, and the income generated by, most debt securities held by the Fund may be affected by changing interest rates and by changes in the effective maturities and credit rating of these securities. For example, the value of debt securities in the Fund's portfolio generally will decline when interest rates rise and increase when interest rates fall. In addition, falling interest rates may cause an issuer to redeem, call or refinance a security before its stated maturity, which may result in the Fund having to reinvest the proceeds in lower yielding securities. Debt securities are subject to credit risk, meaning that the issuer of the debt security may default or fail to make timely payments of principal or interest. The values of any of the Fund's investments may also decline in response to events affecting the issuer or its credit rating. The lower rated debt securities in which the Fund may invest are considered speculative and are generally subject to greater volatility and risk of loss than investment grade securities, particularly in deteriorating economic conditions.
Repurchase Agreements: Repurchase agreements permit the Fund to maintain liquidity and earn income over periods of time as short as overnight. Repurchase agreements held by the Fund are fully collateralized by U.S. Government securities, or securities issued by U.S. Government agencies, or securities that are within the three highest credit categories assigned by established rating agencies (Aaa, Aa, or A by Moody's or AAA, AA or A by Standard & Poor's) or, if not rated by Moody's or Standard & Poor's, are of equivalent investment quality as determined by the Adviser. Such collateral is in the possession of the Fund's custodian. The collateral is
26
FPA CRESCENT FUND
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)
(Unaudited)
evaluated daily to ensure its fair value equals or exceeds the current fair value of the repurchase agreements including accrued interest. 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.
The Fund may enter into repurchase agreements, under the terms of a Master Repurchase Agreement ("MRA"). The MRA permits the Fund, under certain circumstances including an event of default (such as bankruptcy or insolvency), to offset payables and/or receivables under the MRA with collateral held and/or posted to the counterparty and create one single net payment due to or from the Fund. However, bankruptcy or insolvency laws of a particular jurisdiction may impose restrictions on or prohibitions against such a right of offset in the event of a MRA counterparty's bankruptcy or insolvency. Pursuant to the terms of the MRA, the Fund receives securities as collateral with a fair value in excess of the repurchase price to be received by the Fund upon the maturity of the repurchase transaction. Upon a bankruptcy or insolvency of the MRA counterparty, the Fund recognizes a liability with respect to such excess collateral to reflect the Fund's obligation under bankruptcy law to return the excess to the counterparty. Repurchase agreements outstanding at the end of the period are listed in the Fund's Portfolio of Investments.
Special Purpose Acquisition Companies Risk — The Fund may invest in stock, warrants, and other securities of special purpose acquisition companies ("SPACs") or similar special purpose entities that pool funds to seek potential acquisition opportunities. Because SPACs and similar entities are in essence blank check companies without operating history or ongoing business other than seeking acquisitions, the value of their securities is particularly dependent on the ability of the entity's management to identify and complete a profitable acquisition. An investment in a SPAC is subject to a variety of risks, including that (i) a portion of the monies raised by the SPAC for the purpose of effecting an acquisition or merger may be expended prior to the transaction for payment of taxes and other purposes; (ii) prior to any acquisition or merger, a SPAC's assets are typically invested in government securities, money market funds and similar investments whose returns or yields may be significantly lower than those of the Fund's other investments; (iii) the Fund generally will not receive significant income from its investments in SPACs (both prior to and after any acquisition or merger) and, therefore, the Fund's investments in SPACs will not significantly contribute to the Fund's distributions to shareholders; (iv) an attractive acquisition or merger target may not be identified at all, in which case the SPAC will be required to return any remaining monies to shareholders; (v) if an acquisition or merger target is identified, the Fund may elect not to participate in the proposed transaction or the Fund may be required to divest its interests in the SPAC due to regulatory or other considerations, in which case the warrants or other rights with respect to the SPAC held by the Fund may expire worthless or may be repurchased or retired by the SPAC at an unfavorable price; (vi) any proposed merger or acquisition may be unable to obtain the requisite approval, if any, of SPAC shareholders; (vii) under any circumstances in which the Fund receives a refund of all or a portion of its original investment (which typically represents a pro rata share of the proceeds of the SPAC's assets, less any applicable taxes), the returns on that investment may be negligible, and the Fund may be subject to opportunity costs to the extent that alternative investments would have produced higher returns; (viii) to the extent an acquisition or merger is announced or completed, shareholders who redeem their shares prior to that time may not reap any resulting benefits; (ix) the Fund may be delayed in receiving any redemption or liquidation proceeds from a SPAC to which it is entitled; (x) an acquisition or merger once effected may prove unsuccessful and an investment in the SPAC may lose value; (xi) an investment in a SPAC may be diluted by additional later offerings of interests in the SPAC or by other investors exercising existing rights to purchase shares of the SPAC; (xii) only a thinly traded market for shares of or interests in a SPAC may develop, or there may be no market at all, leaving the Fund
27
FPA CRESCENT FUND
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)
(Unaudited)
unable to sell its interest in a SPAC or to sell its interest only at a price below what the Fund believes is the SPAC interest's intrinsic value; and (xiii) the values of investments in SPACs may be highly volatile and may depreciate significantly over time.
NOTE 3 — Purchases and Sales of Investment Securities
Cost of purchases of investment securities (excluding short-term investments) aggregated $271,939,152 for the period ended June 30, 2023. The proceeds and cost of securities sold resulting in net realized gains of $239,586,244 aggregated $593,590,357 and $354,004,113, respectively, for the period ended June 30, 2023.
NOTE 4 — Federal Income Tax
No provision for federal income tax is required because the Fund has elected to be taxed as a "regulated investment company" under the Internal Revenue Code (the "Code") and intends to maintain this qualification and to distribute each year to its shareholders, in accordance with the minimum distribution requirements of the Code, its taxable net investment income and taxable net realized gains on investments.
The cost of investment securities held at June 30, 2023 was $5,422,876,272 for federal income tax purposes. Gross unrealized appreciation and depreciation for all investment at June 30, 2023, for federal income tax purposes was $2,562,903,405 and $356,946,991, respectively resulting in net unrealized appreciation of $2,205,956,414.
As of and during the period ended June 30, 2023, the Fund did not have any liability for unrecognized tax benefits. The Fund recognizes interest and penalties, if any, related to unrecognized tax benefits as income tax expense in the Statement of Operations. During the year, the Fund did not incur any interest or penalties. The statute of limitations remains open for the last 3 years, once a return is filed. No examinations are in progress at this time.
NOTE 5 — Advisory Fees and Other Affiliated Transactions
Pursuant to an Investment Advisory Agreement (the "Agreement"), advisory fees were paid by the Fund to First Pacific Advisors, LP (the "Adviser").
Effective September 4, 2020, the Board approved the addition of the Supra Institutional Class shares and the reduction in the annual advisory fee rate paid by the Fund to 0.93%. The current management fee rate paid by Institutional Class shares is 1.00% and Supra Institutional Class shares is 0.94%, which includes both the advisory fee of 0.93% and a class-specific administrative service fee of 0.07% for Institutional Class and 0.01% for Supra Institutional Class. In addition, the Adviser has contractually agreed to reimburse operating expenses in excess of 0.05% of the average daily net assets of the Fund, excluding management fees, administrative service fees, short sale dividend expenses and interest expenses on cash deposits relating to short sales, brokerage fees and commissions, redemption liquidity service expense, interest, taxes, fees and expenses of other funds in which the Fund invests, and extraordinary expenses, including litigation expenses not incurred in the Fund's ordinary course of business, through April 30, 2024. The Adviser has also contractually agreed to reimburse the Fund for redemption liquidity service expenses in excess of 0.0044% of the average net assets of the Fund through April 30, 2024. This agreement may only be terminated earlier by the Fund's Board of Trustees (the "Board") or upon termination of the Advisory Agreement. The reductions and reimbursements are in amounts that maintain total operating expenses at or below certain limits. The limit is expressed as a percentage of average daily net assets attributable to the Fund on an annualized basis during the reporting period. The expenses borne by the Adviser are subject to reimbursement by the Fund through the fiscal year end, provided no reimbursement will be made
28
FPA CRESCENT FUND
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)
(Unaudited)
if it would result in the Fund exceeding the total operating expense limits. Any amounts outstanding at the end of the period are shown as an expense reimbursement from Adviser or expense reimbursement to Adviser on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities.
For the period ended June 30, 2023, the Fund paid aggregate fees and expenses of $114,739 to all Trustees who are not affiliated persons of the Adviser. Certain officers of the Fund are also officers of the Adviser.
NOTE 6 — Securities Sold Short
The Fund maintains cash deposits and segregates marketable securities in amounts equal to the current fair value of the securities sold short or the fair value of the securities at the time they were sold short, whichever is greater. The Fund considers cash deposits held in connection with securities sold short to be restricted cash. The restriction will lapse when the related short positions are terminated. Possible losses from short sales may be unlimited, whereas losses from purchases cannot exceed the total amount invested. The dividends on securities sold short are reflected as short sale dividend expense.
NOTE 7 — Redemption Fees
A redemption fee of 2% applies to redemptions within 90 days of purchase. For the period ended June 30, 2023, the Fund collected $424 in redemption fees. The impact of these fees is less than $0.01 per share. Subsequent to December 31, 2021, the Board unanimously approved the elimination of the Fund's 2% redemption fee effective February 18, 2022.
The Funds may participate in the ReFlow Fund, LLC ("ReFlow") liquidity program, which is designed to provide an alternative liquidity source on days when redemptions of Fund shares exceed purchases. Under the program, ReFlow is available to provide cash to the Funds to meet all, or a portion, of daily net shareowner redemptions. Following purchases of Fund shares, ReFlow then generally redeems those shares when the Fund experiences net sales, at the end of a maximum holding period determined by ReFlow (currently 14 days) or at other times at ReFlow's discretion. For use of the ReFlow service, a participating Fund pays a fee to ReFlow each time it purchases Fund shares, calculated by applying to the purchase amount a fee rate determined through an automated daily "Dutch auction" among other participating mutual funds seeking liquidity that day. The current minimum fee rate is 0.20% of the value of the Fund shares purchased by ReFlow, although the Fund may submit a bid at a higher fee rate if it determines that doing so is in the best interest of Fund shareowners. In accordance with federal securities laws, ReFlow is prohibited from acquiring more than 3% of the outstanding voting securities of a Fund. ReFlow will periodically redeem its entire share position in the Fund and request that such redemption be met in kind in accordance with the Fund's in-kind redemption policies. There is no assurance that ReFlow will have sufficient funds available to meet the Funds' liquidity needs on a particular day. During the period ended June 30, 2023, only FPA Crescent Fund participated in ReFlow. Fees associated with ReFlow are disclosed in the Statements of Operations within redemption liquidity service fees.
NOTE 8 — Disclosure of Fair Value Measurements
The Fund uses the following methods and inputs to establish the fair value of its assets and liabilities. Use of particular methods and inputs may vary over time based on availability and relevance as market and economic conditions evolve.
Equity securities are generally valued each day at the official closing price of, or the last reported sale price on, the exchange or market on which such securities principally are traded, as of the close of business on that day. If there have been no sales that day, equity securities are generally valued at the last available bid price.

Securities that are unlisted and fixed-income and convertible securities listed on a national securities exchange for which the over-the-counter ("OTC") market more accurately reflects the securities' value in the judgment of the Fund's officers, are valued at the most recent bid price. Events occurring after the close of trading on non-U.S. exchanges may result in adjustments to the valuation of foreign securities to reflect their fair value as of the close of regular trading on the NYSE. The Fund may utilize an independent fair valuation service in adjusting the valuations of foreign securities. However, most fixed income securities are generally valued at prices obtained from pricing vendors and brokers. Vendors value such securities based on one or more of the following inputs: transactions, bids, offers quotations from dealers and trading systems, spreads and other relationships observed in the markets among comparable securities, benchmarks, underlying equity of the issuer, and proprietary pricing models such as cash flows, financial or collateral performance and other reference data (includes prepayments, defaults, collateral, credit enhancements, and interest rate volatility). Currency forwards are valued at the closing currency exchange rate which is not materially different from the forward rate. Short-term corporate notes with maturities of 60 days or less at the time of purchase are valued at amortized cost.
Securities for which representative market quotations are not readily available or are considered unreliable by the Adviser are valued as determined in good faith under procedures adopted by the authority of the Fund's Board of Trustees. Various inputs may be reviewed in order to make a good faith determination of a security's value. These inputs include, but are not limited to, the type and cost of the security; contractual or legal restrictions on resale of the security; relevant financial or business developments of the issuer; actively traded similar or related securities; conversion or exchange rights on the security; related corporate actions; significant events occurring after the close of trading in the security; and changes in overall market conditions. Investments in limited partnerships are valued, as a practical expedient, utilizing the net asset valuations provided by the underlying limited partnerships in a manner consistent with U.S. GAAP for investment companies. The Fund applies the practical expedient to its investments in limited partnerships on an investment-by-investment basis, and consistently with the Fund's entire position in a particular investment, unless it is probable that the Fund will sell a portion of an investment at an amount different from the net asset valuation. Investments in limited partnerships are included in Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy based on the limited rights of withdrawal by the Fund as specified in the respective agreements. Fair valuations and valuations of investments that are not actively trading involve judgment and may differ materially from valuations of investments that would have been used had greater market activity occurred.
Investments in open-end investment companies are valued at their net asset value each business day and are categorized as Level 1. The investments in limited partnerships represent investments in private funds which are valued at their net asset value as a practical expedient. The Fund applies the practical expedient to limited partnerships on an investment-by-investment basis unless it is probable that the Fund could sell a portion of an investment at an amount different from the NAY of the investment. The management agreements of the limited partnerships provide for compensation to the managers in the form of fees ranging from 0% to 2% annually of net assets and performance incentive allocations or fees ranging from 0% to 20% of the net profits earned. The net asset value of the limited partnerships has been estimated primarily based upon the pro-rata ownership of the fair value of the limited partnerships as reported by the management of the limited partnerships. Investments in private funds can never be redeemed. Instead, the nature of the investments in this category is that distributions are received through the liquidation of the underlying assets of the limited partnerships.
The Fund classifies its assets based on three valuation methodologies. Level 1 values are based on quoted market prices in active markets for identical assets. Level 2 values are based on significant observable market

inputs, such as quoted prices for similar assets and quoted prices in inactive markets or other market observable inputs as noted above including spreads, cash flows, financial performance, prepayments, defaults, collateral, credit enhancements, and interest rate volatility. Level 3 values are based on significant unobservable inputs that reflect the Fund's determination of assumptions that market participants might reasonably use in valuing the assets. The valuation levels are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities.
The following table presents the valuation levels of the Fund's investments as of June 30, 2023 (see Portfolio of Investments for industry categories):

(f)Â Â No adjustments were made to the NAV provided by the administrator of the Limited Partnerships. Adjustments to the NAV would be considered if the practical expedient NAV was not as of the Fund's measurement date; it was probable that the Limited Partnerships would be sold at a value materially different than the reported expedient NAV; or it was determined in accordance with the Fund's valuation procedures than the Limited Partnerships are not being reported at fair value.

Options Contracts: An option contract is a commitment that gives the purchaser of the contract the right, but not the obligation, to buy or sell an underlying asset at a specific price on or before a specified future date. On the other hand, the writer of an option contract is obligated, upon the exercise of the option, to buy or sell an underlying asset at a specific price on or before a specified future date. A swaption is an option contract granting the owner the right to enter into an underlying swap. Inflation-capped options are options on U.S. inflation rates at a stated strike price. The seller of an inflation-capped option receives an upfront premium and in return the buyer receives the right to receive a payment at the expiration of the option if the cumulative annualized inflation rate over the life of the option is above (for caps) or below (for floors) the stated strike price. The purpose of inflation-capped options is to protect the buyer from inflation erosion above a certain rate on a given notional exposure. A floor can be used to give downside protection to investments in inflation-linked products below a certain rate on a given notional exposure. Writing put options or purchasing call options tends to increase a Fund's exposure to the underlying instrument. Writing call options or purchasing put options tends to decrease a Fund's exposure to the underlying instrument. When a Fund writes or purchases a call, put, or inflation-capped option, an amount equal to the premium received or paid by the Fund is recorded as a liability or an investment, respectively, and subsequently adjusted to the current market value, based on the quoted daily settlement price of the option written or purchased. Certain options may be written or purchased with premiums to be determined on a future date. The premiums for these options are based upon implied volatility parameters at specified terms. Premiums received or paid from writing or purchasing options, which expire unexercised, are treated by a Fund on the expiration date as realized gains or losses. The difference between the premium and the amount paid or received on a closing purchase or sale transaction, including brokerage commissions, is also treated as a realized gain or loss. If an option is exercised, the premium paid or realized is added to the cost of the purchase or proceeds from the sale in determining whether the Fund has realized a gain or loss on investment transactions. A Fund, as a writer of an option, may have no control over whether the underlying instrument may be sold (call) or purchased (put) and as a result bears the market risk of an unfavorable change in the price of the underlying written option. In addition, an illiquid market may make it difficult for a Fund to close out an option contract. The maximum risk of loss associated with writing put options is limited to the exercised fair value of the option contract. The maximum risk of loss associated with writing call options is potentially unlimited. Listed option contracts present minimal counterparty credit risk since they are exchange traded and the exchange's clearinghouse, as counterparty to all exchange-traded options, guarantees the options against default. A Fund's maximum risk of loss from counterparty credit risk related to OTC option contracts is limited to the premiums paid.
Forward foreign currency contracts: Forward foreign currency contracts are agreements to exchange one currency for another at a future date and at a specified price. The Funds' transactions in forward foreign currency contracts are limited to transaction and portfolio hedging. The contractual amounts of forward foreign currency contracts do not necessarily represent the amounts potentially subject to risk. The measurement of the risks associated with these instruments is meaningful only when all related and offsetting transactions are considered and could exceed the net unrealized value shown in the tables below. Risks arise from the possible inability of counterparties to meet the terms of their contracts and from movements in currency values. Forward foreign currency contracts are valued daily at the foreign exchange rates as of the close of the New York Stock Exchange. Unrealized appreciation or depreciation on the contracts as measured by the difference between the forward foreign exchange rates at the dates of entry into the contracts and the foreign exchange rates at the end of the period is included in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities under the caption "Forward Foreign Currency Contracts." Realized gains and losses and the net change in unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on forward

foreign currency contracts for the year are included in the Statement of Operations under the caption "Forward Foreign Currency Contracts."
Credit Default Swaps: The Fund enters into credit default swap contracts for investment purposes and to manage its credit risk. Credit default swap agreements involve one party making a stream of payments (referred to as the buyer of protection) to another party (the seller of protection) in exchange for the right to receive a specified return in the event of a default or other credit event for the referenced entity, obligation or index. The Fund may purchase or sell protection. A seller of protection generally receives an upfront payment or periodic payments throughout the term of the swap provided there is no credit event. Such periodic payments received are accrued daily and accounted for as realized gains. If a credit event occurs, as defined under the terms of the swap agreement, the Fund will either (i) pay to the buyer of protection an amount equal to the notional amount of the swap and take delivery of the referenced obligation or underlying securities comprising the referenced index or (ii) pay a net settlement amount in the form of cash or securities equal to the notional amount of the swap less the recovery value of the referenced obligation or underlying securities comprising the referenced index. The buyer of protection generally pays an upfront premium or periodic payments throughout the term of the swap provided there is no credit event. Such periodic payments paid are accrued daily and accounted for as realized losses.
Entering into credit default swaps involves, to varying degrees, elements of credit, market and documentation risk in excess of the related amounts recognized in the Consolidated Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Such risks involve the possibility that there will be no liquid market for these agreements, that the counterparty to the agreements may default on its obligations to perform or disagree as to the meaning of the contractual terms in the agreements, and that there will be unfavorable changes in net interest rates.
Total Return Swaps: A Fund investing in total return swaps is subject to the risk that there is no liquid market for these agreements, that the counterparties may default on their obligations to perform or that there may be unfavorable changes in the value of the underlying index or reference instrument(generally caused by changes in interest rates or declines in credit quality). A total return swap agreement is one in which one party makes payments based on a set rate, either fixed or variable, while the other party makes payments based on the return of an underlying index or reference instrument, which includes both the income it generates and any capital gains. To the extent the total return of the index or reference instrument underlying the transaction exceeds or falls short of the offsetting interest rate obligation, a Fund will receive a payment from or make a payment to the counterparty. A Fund's maximum risk of loss from counterparty credit risk related to total return swaps is the discounted net value of the cash flows to be received from or paid to the counterparty over the contract's remaining life, to the extent that the amount is positive. The risk may be mitigated to some extent if a master netting arrangement between a Fund and the counterparty is in place and to the extent a Fund obtains collateral to cover a Fund's exposure to the counterparty.
A Fund may enter into fully funded total return swaps which involves one party making an initial payment equal to the estimated value of the reference instrument. The parties to the swap then exchange respective commitments to pay or receive a net amount based on the change in the fair value of a reference instrument and a specified notional amount.

NOTE 10 — Collateral Requirements
For derivatives traded under an ISDA Master Agreement, the collateral requirements are typically calculated by netting the mark to market amount for each transaction under such agreement and comparing that amount to the value of any collateral currently pledged by a Fund and the counterparty. Cash collateral that has been pledged to cover obligations of a Fund and cash collateral received from the counterparty, if any, is reported separately on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities as cash pledged as collateral and cash received as collateral, respectively. Non-cash collateral pledged by a Fund, if any, is noted in the Portfolio of Investments. Generally, the amount of collateral due from or to a party is delivered to/pledged by the Fund on the next business day. Typically, the Fund and counterparties are not permitted to sell, repledge or use the collateral they receive. To the extent amounts due to the Fund from its counterparties are not fully collateralized, contractually or otherwise, the Fund bears the risk of loss from counterparty non-performance. The Fund attempts to mitigate counterparty risk by entering into agreements only with counterparties that it believes have the financial resources to honor their obligations and by monitoring the financial stability of those counterparties.
For financial reporting purposes, the Fund does not offset derivative assets and derivative liabilities that are subject to netting arrangements in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities.
FASB Accounting Standards Update No. 2011-11, Disclosures about Offsetting Assets and Liabilities, requires disclosures to make financial statements that are prepared under U.S. GAAP more comparable to those prepared under International Financial Reporting Standards. Under this guidance the Fund discloses both gross and net information about instruments and transactions eligible for offset such as instruments and transactions subject to an agreement similar to a master netting arrangement. The following table presents the Fund's OTC derivative assets, liabilities and master repurchase agreements by counterparty net of amounts available for the offset under an ISDA Master agreement or similar agreements and net of the related collateral received or pledged by the Fund as of June 30, 2023:
Counterparty |  | Product |  | Gross Assets (Liabilities) in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities |  | Cash Collateral (Received) Pledged |  | Financial Instruments (Received) Pledged |  | Assets (Liabilities) Available for Offset |  | Net Amount of Asset and (Liabilities)(a)​ |  | ||||||||||||||

(a)Â Â Collateral with a value of $15,725,352 has been received in connection with a master repurchase agreement. Excess of collateral received from the individual master repurchase agreement is not shown for financial reporting purposes.
NOTE 11 — Commitments and Contingencies
In the normal course of business, the Fund's investment activities involve executions, settlement and financing of various transactions resulting in receivables from, and payables to, brokers, dealers and the Fund's custodian. These activities may expose the Fund to risk in the event that such parties are unable to fulfill contractual obligations. Management does not anticipate any material losses from counterparties with whom it conducts business. Consistent with standard business practice, the Fund enters into contracts that contain a variety of indemnifications. The maximum exposure of the Fund under these arrangements and activities is unknown.
Commitments to extend credit or invest capital include loan or debt-related proceeds the Fund is obligated to advance, such as delayed draws or revolving credit arrangements, or delayed draws of investments in limited

Unrealized gains or losses associated with unfunded commitments are recorded in the consolidated financial statements and reflected as an adjustment to the fair value of the related security in the Consolidated Schedule of Investments. The par amount of the unfunded commitments is not recognized by the Fund until it becomes funded. As of June 30, 2023, the Fund was liable for the following unfunded commitments:

SHAREHOLDER EXPENSE EXAMPLE
June 30, 2023 (Unaudited)
Fund Expenses
Mutual fund shareholders generally incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, and (2) ongoing costs, including advisory and administrative fees; shareholder service fees; and other Fund expenses. The 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 at the beginning of the year and held for the entire year.
Actual Expenses
The information in the table under the heading "Actual Performance" provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this column, 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 column in the row entitled "Expenses Paid During Period" to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.
Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes
The information in the table under the heading "Hypothetical Performance (5% return before expenses)" 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 funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of other funds.
Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transactional costs. Therefore, the information under the heading "Hypothetical Performance (5% return before expenses)" is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will 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. Even though the Fund does not charge transaction fees, if you purchase shares through a broker, the broker may charge you a fee. You should evaluate other mutual funds' transaction fees and any applicable broker fees to assess the total cost of ownership for comparison purposes.

FPA Flexible Fixed Income Fund
FPA FLEXIBLE FIXED INCOME FUND
LETTER TO SHAREHOLDERS
Dear Fellow Shareholders,
FPA Flexible Fixed Income Fund (the "Fund") returned 1.20% in the second quarter of 2023 and 3.48% year-to-date through June 30, 2023.
Sector | Â | As of 6/30/2023 | Â | ||||
Yield-to-worst1​ |  | 7.60% |  | ||||
Effective Duration | Â | 1.83 years | Â | ||||
High Quality Exposure2​ |  | 72.3% |  | ||||
Credit Exposure3​ |  | 27.7% |  |
As inflation abated during the quarter, the Federal Reserve raised the Fed Funds rate by 25 basis points in May before pausing its tightening and leaving the Fed Funds rate unchanged in June.4​ However, the Fed's commentary and guidance for additional Fed Funds rate increases, coupled with uneven macroeconomic data, drove risk-free rates higher during the quarter. Yields on Treasury bonds with one-to-five- year maturities increased by approximately 60-80 basis points during the quarter, while yields on longer-maturity Treasury bonds increased by approximately 20-50 basis points. In general during the quarter, spreads decreased across investment-grade and high-yield bond markets, and bond yields increased.5​ These lower spreads have limited our investment opportunities in Credit (investments rated BBB or lower, or "Credit"). Nevertheless, we continue to search for Credit investments that we believe adequately compensate us for the risk of permanent impairment of capital. Beyond Credit, on an absolute basis, we continue to see an attractive opportunity to buy longer-duration, high-quality bonds (rated single-A or higher — "High Quality"), which we believe will enhance the Fund's long-term returns and short-term upside-versus-downside return profile. The Fund's Credit exposure decreased to 27.7% at June 30, 2023 from 29.4% at March 31, 2023. Cash and equivalents represented 6.6% of the portfolio at June 30, 2023 versus 10.3% at March 31, 2023.
1​  Yield-to-worst ("YTW") is presented gross of fees and reflects the lowest potential yield that can be received on a debt investment without the issuer defaulting. YTW considers the impact of expected prepayments, calls and/or sinking funds, among other things. Average YTW is based on the weighted average YTW of the investments held in the Fund's portfolio. YTW may not represent the yield an investor should expect to receive. As of June 30, 2023, the Fund's subsidized/unsubsidized 30-day SEC standardized yield ("SEC Yield") was 5.22%/5.13% respectively. The SEC Yield calculation is an annualized measure of the Fund's dividend and interest payments for the last 30 days, less the Fund expenses. Subsidized yield reflects fee waivers and/or expense reimbursements during the period. Without waivers and/or reimbursements, yields would be reduced. Unsubsidized yield does not adjust for any fee waivers and/or expense reimbursements in effect. The SEC Yield calculation shows investors what they would earn in yield over the course of a 12-month period if the Fund continued earning the same rate for the rest of the year.
2​  High Quality is defined as investments rated A or higher, Treasuries, and cash and equivalents.
3​  Credit is defined as investments rated BBB or lower, including non-rated investments.

Portfolio Attribution6​
Corporate holdings, collateralized loan obligations (CLOs) backed by corporate loans, and asset-backed securities (ABS) backed by loans to late-stage companies (mostly software-related) were the largest, second-largest, and third-largest contributors to the Fund's performance during the quarter, respectively. In each case, the return was driven mostly by income, with some additional benefit from higher prices due to lower spreads. Of note, the vast majority of the Fund's CLOs are floating rate and have benefited from increases in their coupons as rates have risen.
Treasury bonds and agency-guaranteed commercial mortgage-backed securities (CMBS) were the largest and second-largest detractors from performance, respectively, driven by lower prices resulting from higher risk-free rates. ABS backed by wireless towers or data centers were the third-largest detractors from performance due to lower prices resulting from higher risk-free rates and lower spreads.

Credit is generally not attractively priced and has become less attractive over the past few months because of lower spreads. However, as always, we remain opportunistic investors in that part of the market and will selectively invest when we believe prices compensate for risk. Within the universe of investments rated BBB or lower, during the quarter we bought a BBB-rated corporate bond that we partially paid for by selling an existing shorter-duration and lower-yielding investment from the same issuer. We also replaced an existing leveraged loan investment with an investment in a pari passu high-yield bond from the same issuer that we believe has a more attractive return profile. Finally, we bought a BBB-rated CLO backed by middle-market loans.
Beyond Credit, we continue to take advantage of higher yields by actively buying longer-duration, High Quality bonds. Most of our investment activity this quarter was focused on those types of investments. The duration of these High Quality investments is guided by our duration test, which seeks to identify the longest-duration bonds expected to produce at least a breakeven return over a 12-month period if we assume that a bond's yield will increase by 100 bps during that period. During the second quarter we bought Treasuries, ABS backed by equipment, agency-guaranteed CMBS, ABS backed by auto loans, utility cost-recovery bonds, ABS backed by cellular towers or fiber networks, and ABS backed by prime-quality credit card receivables. On average, these High Quality, fixed-rate investments had a duration of 4.3 years. We also bought AAA-rated, floating-rate CLOs backed by middle-market loans.
In addition to the corporate bond and leveraged loan sales referenced above, both of which were part of rotations out of existing investments into ones with more attractive risk-versus-reward profiles, we sold certain bank loans and high-yield bonds because their risk-versus-reward profiles became unattractive. To fund investments in longer-duration High Quality bonds, we sold existing short-duration holdings including not only High Quality ABS with an average duration of less than one year but also corporate loan CLOs. We also sold Treasuries to buy other similar- or longer-duration bonds.

Market Commentary
By many measures, such as the index shown below, inflation is declining, although it still remains meaningfully above the Federal Reserve's target of 2%:
CPI Urban Consumers less Food and Energy year/year change
Source: US Department of Labor. As of May 31, 2023. The Consumer Price Index, or CPI, reflects the average change over time in prices paid by urban consumers for a market basket of consumer goods and services. The Federal Reserve seeks to achieve an average of 2% inflation rate (https://www.federalreserve.gov/newsevents/pressreleases/monetary20221102a.htm). Dotted line represents the Federal Reserve target.
After raising interest rates since March 2022 (while simultaneously implementing quantitative tightening, or a reduction in the size of the Federal Reserve's balance sheet) and having made some progress in reducing inflation, the Federal Reserve raised the Fed Funds rate by 25 bps in May before opting to "pause" and leave that key monetary policy rate unchanged in June. The rationale for this pause was to provide time to see how Fed policy implemented thus far is affecting the economy. At the same time, however, most Federal Reserve

policymakers believe higher interest rates will be necessary to push inflation closer to its 2% target. Therefore, the Fed's most recent projections showed a higher terminal Fed Funds rate, which was also reflected in the Fed Funds futures market. The bottom line is that, as of June 30, the market expected the Fed Funds rate to peak at approximately 5.4% in November 2023 before the Fed begins cutting rates:

Note, however, and as shown above, the path of rates is not set in stone. For example, following the March 2023 bank failures, the market expected the Fed to begin cutting rates in June. But since March, the macroeconomic data has not painted a clear picture of the economy's trajectory: while inflation has declined slightly, the job market and economic growth have remained resilient. Consequently, the Fed did not cut rates in June, the expected future Fed Funds rate nearly recovered to its pre-March level, and Treasury yields have risen since March, as shown below.

U.S. Treasury Yield Curve
Source: Bloomberg; June 30, 2023
Lack of clarity in the macroeconomic picture is why we do not pretend to know either what the Fed will do over time or how interest rates will change. We place interest rate forecasting in the "too hard" pile. There are too many variables to predict. Further, it's difficult to have conviction in any of those variables, because macroeconomic data are extremely challenging to measure in real-time and are subject to revision. Imagine investing in a company and believing it had huge earnings growth only to find out later that its earnings had significantly declined. Such a revision would likely affect your investment thesis and the returns on the investment you'd already made. Such is the challenge we face with macro-driven investing and, specifically, trying to predict the direction and magnitude of interest rate moves. To borrow an analogy from our colleagues: with macro investing we are driving with not only a windshield that's cracked, dusty, and hard to see through, but also a dusty rear window.
What we can see clearly, though, is that yields are still near decade-plus highs, as shown by the following charts. The first chart shows the Aggregate Bond Index; the second chart shows the BB component of the high-yield index, excluding energy, an index we believe is a better indicator of high-yield bond pricing because it excludes both "noise" related to the more volatile energy sector and changes in ratings composition in the overall high-yield index over time.

While the market vacillates about the direction of the economy, yields remain higher than they have been in over a decade. On an absolute basis, we find longer-duration, High Quality bonds attractive for two reasons:
First, we believe that over the long term, investors will benefit from growing their capital at today's yields for multiple years. One might wonder whether it makes more sense to hold cash or very short-duration bonds instead of longer-duration bonds. If we knew rates will rise further and the timing and magnitude of that increase, then certainly holding onto cash or very short-duration bonds would make a lot of sense. However, we don't believe we can know such things with a high level of conviction. Therefore, we believe it makes sense to take advantage of yields available today. Thinking about the opportunity cost of this decision helps elucidate the rationale: if yields were to decline by 25 basis points (or 50 basis points, or some other large amount) we believe investors would regret not buying bonds at today's yields when they had the chance.
9
FPA FLEXIBLE FIXED INCOME FUND
LETTER TO SHAREHOLDERS
(Continued)
Second, we believe longer-duration High Quality bonds offer a more attractive short-term return profile. Bond prices can, of course, move between today and a bond's maturity so we want to be mindful of duration risk and short-term returns. Employing the duration test described earlier, if yields in the short term were to increase by 100 bps over the next 12 months, we believe these longer-duration investments would produce at least a breakeven return, limit short-term drawdowns, and preserve capital we could then seek to redeploy into higher-yielding investments. Alternatively, if yields were to decline for any reason, longer-duration investments would meaningfully improve the Fund's short-term total return. For example, at June 30, the Fund held a Treasury bond that matures in June 2028. As of June 30, that bond had a maturity of five years, a duration of 4.5 years, and a yield-to-worst and yield-to-maturity of 4.12%. If that bond's yield increases by 100 bps over the next twelve months, one would expect a positive total return of 0.54% for that period. On the other hand, if that bond's yield were to decline by 100 bps over the next twelve months, one would expect a total return of 7.72% for that period. 18 months ago, when yields were close to zero, one could only buy a Treasury that was slightly longer than one year in maturity and still expect to make money in a rising rate environment (assuming that rates rise by 100 bps over twelve months). Of course, such a short Treasury bond has very little upside over the course of a year if yields decline, because that bond will be close to maturity and be worth near par. In comparison to shorter-duration bonds in a low-yield environment, we believe longer-duration bonds at today's yields have a more attractive asymmetry in their short-term upside versus downside return while also locking in an attractive yield (on an absolute basis) for the long term.
As yields increased over the past 18 months, we purposely extended the duration of the bonds we bought — guided by the 100 bps duration test described above — and, in the process, extended the Fund's duration. Since the end of 2021, we have increased the duration of the Fund by 0.9 years from 0.98 years to 1.83 years today. Such a portfolio adjustment is what we believe active management is supposed to do: position defensively and preserve capital when the market is expensive and then go on offense when the market gets cheaper. With respect to duration risk, our strategy results in the Fund buying shorter-duration bonds when yields are low and then adding duration when yields are higher.
In contrast to the market for High Quality debt which we think is attractive, we do not generally view this type of debt as attractive for the Fund, particularly as spreads have recently decreased. We continue to search for attractive opportunities in Credit, but we often find that potential absolute returns are insufficient compared to the potential for permanent impairment of capital. We also often find that the extra return over highly rated debt that lower rated debt offers is insufficient in comparison to the incremental risk of permanent impairment of capital borne by lower rated debt.
In summary, broadly speaking, we believe today's bond market attractively priced and among the most attractive we have seen in at least a decade. We are excited about the opportunities to enhance our investors' long-term returns while continuing to limit their short-term drawdowns.
Thank you for your confidence and continued support.

This information and data has been prepared from sources believed reliable, but the accuracy and completeness of the information cannot be guaranteed and is not a complete summary or statement of all available data. You should not construe the contents of this document as legal, tax, accounting, investment or other advice or recommendations.
Abhijeet Patwardhan has been portfolio manager for the Fund since November 2015. Thomas Atteberry managed/co-managed the Fund from November 2004 through June 2022. Effective July 1, 2022, Mr. Atteberry transitioned to a Senior Advisory role. There were no material changes to the investment process due to this transition.
Portfolio composition will change due to ongoing management of the Fund. References to individual securities or sectors are for informational purposes only and should not be construed as recommendations by the Fund, the portfolio manager, the Adviser, or the distributor. It should not be assumed that future investments will be profitable or will equal the performance of the security or sector examples discussed. The portfolio holdings as of the most recent quarter-end may be obtained at www.fpa.com.
The statements made herein may be forward-looking and/or based on current expectations, projections, and/or information currently available. Actual results may differ from those anticipated. The portfolio manager and/or FPA cannot assure future results and disclaims any obligation to update or alter any statistical data and/or references thereto, as well as any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events, or otherwise. Such statements may or may not be accurate over the long-term.
Investments, including investments in mutual funds, carry risks and investors may lose principal value. Capital markets are volatile and can decline significantly in response to adverse issuer, political, regulatory, market, or economic developments. The Fund may purchase foreign securities, including depository receipts, which are subject to interest rate, currency exchange rate, economic and political risks; these risks may be elevated when investing in emerging markets. Foreign investments, especially those of companies in emerging markets, can be riskier, less liquid, harder to value, and more volatile than investments in the United States. The securities of smaller, less well-known companies can be more volatile than those of larger companies.
The return of principal in a bond fund is not guaranteed. Bond funds have the same issuer, interest rate, inflation and credit risks that are associated with underlying bonds owned by the Fund. Lower rated bonds, convertible securities and other types of debt obligations involve greater risks than higher rated bonds.
Interest rate risk is the risk that when interest rates go up, the value of fixed income instruments, such as bonds, typically go down and investors may lose principal value. Credit risk is the risk of loss of principal due to the issuer's failure to repay a loan. Generally, the lower the quality rating of a fixed income instrument, the greater the risk that the issuer will fail to pay interest fully and return principal in a timely manner. If an issuer defaults the fixed income instrument may lose some or all of its value.

Mortgage securities and collateralized mortgage obligations (CMOs) are subject to prepayment risk and the risk of default on the underlying mortgages or other assets; such derivatives may increase volatility. Convertible securities are generally not investment grade and are subject to greater credit risk than higher-rated investments. High yield securities can be volatile and subject to much higher instances of default.
Collateralized debt obligations ("CDOs"), which include collateralized loan obligations ("CLOs"), collateralized bond obligations ("CBOs"), and other similarly structured securities, carry additional risks in addition to interest rate risk and default risk. This includes, but is not limited to: (i) distributions from the underlying collateral may not be adequate to make interest or other payments; (ii) the quality of the collateral may decline in value or default; and (iii) the complex structure of the security may not be fully understood at the time of investment and may produce disputes with the issuer or unexpected investment results. Investments in CDOs are also more difficult to value than other investments.
Value style investing presents the risk that the holdings or securities may never reach their full market value because the market fails to recognize what the portfolio management team considers the true business value or because the portfolio management team has misjudged those values. In addition, value style investing may fall out of favor and underperform growth or other styles of investing during given periods.
The ratings agencies that provide ratings are the Nationally Recognized Statistical Ratings Organizations (NRSROs) DBRS, Inc., Fitch Ratings, Inc., Kroll Bond Rating Agency, Inc., Moody's Investors Service, Inc., and S&P Global Ratings. Credit ratings range from AAA (highest) to D (lowest). Bonds rated BBB or above are considered investment grade. Credit ratings of BB and below are lower-rated securities (junk bonds). High-yielding, non-investment grade bonds (junk bonds) involve higher risks than investment grade bonds. Bonds with credit ratings of CCC or below have higher default risk.

Bloomberg U.S. Universal Bond Index represents the union of the following Bloomberg Barclay's indices: U.S. Aggregate Index, the U.S. Corporate High-Yield Index, the 144A Index, the Eurodollar Index, the Emerging Markets Index, and the non-ERISA portion of the CMBS Index. Municipal debt, private placements, and non-dollar-denominated issues are excluded from the Universal Index. The only constituent of the index that includes floating-rate debt is the Emerging Markets Index.
The Consumer Price Index (CPI) is an unmanaged index representing the rate of the inflation of U.S. consumer prices as determined by the U.S. Department of Labor Statistics. There can be no guarantee that the CPI will reflect the exact level of inflation at any given time. This index reflects non-seasonally adjusted returns.
The CPI + 200 bps is created by adding 200 basis points to the annual percentage change in the CPI.
Morningstar Nontraditional Bond Category contains funds that pursue strategies divergent in one or more ways from conventional practice in the broader bond fund universe. Many funds in this group describe themselves as "absolute return" portfolios, which seek to avoid losses and produce returns uncorrelated with the overall bond market; they employ a variety of methods to achieve those aims. Another large subset are self described "unconstrained" portfolios that have more flexibility to invest tactically across a wide swath of individual sectors, including high yield and foreign debt, and typically with very large allocations. Funds in the latter group typically have broad freedom to manage interest rate sensitivity, but attempt to tactically manage those exposures in order to minimize volatility. The category is also home to a subset of portfolios that attempt to minimize volatility by maintaining short or ultra short duration portfolios, but explicitly court significant credit and foreign bond market risk in order to generate high returns. Funds within this category often will use credit default swaps and other fixed income derivatives to a significant level within their portfolios. There were 350 funds in the category at 3/31/2023.
Other Definitions
Basis Point (bps) is equal to one hundredth of one percent, or 0.01%. 100 basis points = 1%.
Corporate holdings include bank debt, corporate bonds and common stock.
Coupon or coupon payment is the annual interest rate paid on a bond, expressed as a percentage of the face value and paid from issue date until maturity.
Credit Spread or Spread is the difference in yield between a U.S. Treasury bond and another debt security of the same maturity but different credit quality.
Effective Duration (years) is the duration calculation for bonds with embedded options. Effective duration takes into account that expected cash flows will fluctuate as interest rates change.

Mark-to-market is a method of recording the price or value of a security, portfolio, or account to reflect the current market value rather than book value.
A bond premium occurs when the price of the bond has increased in the secondary market. A bond might trade at a premium because its interest rate is higher than current rates in the market.
Weighted Average Life (years) is the average length of time that each dollar of unpaid principal on a loan, a mortgage or an amortizing bond remains outstanding.
Yield-to-Maturity (YTM) is the expected rate of return anticipated on a bond if held until it matures. YTM is considered a long-term bond yield expressed as an annual rate. The YTM calculation takes into account the bond's current market price, par value, coupon interest rate and time to maturity. It is also assumed that all coupon payments are reinvested at the same rate as the bond's current yield.

The discussions of Fund investments represent the views of the Fund's managers at the time of this report and are subject to change without notice. References to individual securities are for informational purposes only and should not be construed as recommendations to purchase or sell individual securities.
FUND RISKS
Investments in mutual funds carry risks and investors may lose principal value. Stock markets are volatile and can decline significantly in response to adverse issuer, political, regulatory, market, or economic developments. The funds may purchase foreign securities which are subject to interest rate, currency exchange rate, economic and political risks: this may be enhanced when investing in emerging markets. The securities of smaller, less well-known companies can be more volatile than those of larger companies. The return of principal in a bond fund is not guaranteed. Bond funds have the same issuer, interest rate, inflation and credit risks that are associated with underlying bonds owned by the fund. Lower rated bonds, convertible securities and other types of debt obligations involve greater risks than higher rated bonds. Mortgage securities and collateralized mortgage obligations (CMOs) are subject to prepayment risk and the risk of default on the underlying mortgages or other assets; derivatives may increase volatility. High yield securities can be volatile and subject to much higher instances of default.
FORWARD LOOKING STATEMENT DISCLOSURE
As mutual fund managers, one of our responsibilities is to communicate with shareholders in an open and direct manner. Insofar as some of our opinions and comments in our letters to shareholders are based on our current expectations, they are considered "forward-looking statements" which may or may not prove to be accurate over the long term. While we believe we have a reasonable basis for our comments and we have confidence in our opinions, actual results may differ materially from those we anticipate. You can identify forward-looking statements by words such as "believe," "expect," "may," "anticipate," and other similar expressions when discussing prospects for particular portfolio holdings and/or the markets, generally. We cannot, however, assure future results and disclaim any obligation to update or alter any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events, or otherwise. Further, information provided in this report should not be construed as a recommendation to purchase or sell any particular security.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
June 30, 2023
(Unaudited)
NOTE 1 — Significant Accounting Policies
FPA Flexible Fixed Income Fund (the "Fund") is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as a diversified, open-end, management investment company. The Fund's primary investment objective is to seek current income and long-term total return. Capital preservation is also a consideration. The Fund qualifies as an investment company pursuant to Financial Accounting Standard Board (FASB) Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) No. 946, Financial Services — Investment Companies. The following is a summary of significant accounting policies consistently followed by the Fund in the preparation of its financial statements.
A.  Security Valuation
The Fund's investments are reported at fair value as defined by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, ("U.S. GAAP"). The Fund generally determines its net asset value as of approximately 4:00 p.m. New York time each day the New York Stock Exchange is open. Further discussion of valuation methods, inputs and classifications can be found under Disclosure of Fair Value Measurements.
B.  Securities Transactions and Related Investment Income
Securities transactions are accounted for on the date the securities are purchased or sold. Dividend income and distributions to shareholders are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Interest income and expenses are recorded on an accrual basis. Market discounts and premiums on fixed income securities are amortized over the expected life of the securities using effective interest rate method. Realized gains or losses are based on the specific identification method.
C.  Use of Estimates
The preparation of the financial statements in accordance with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
D.  Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In March 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-04, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848) Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting, which provides optional expedients and exceptions for applying U.S. GAAP to contracts, hedging relationships, and other transactions to ease the potential burden in accounting for (or recognizing the effects of) reference rate reform on financial reporting if certain criteria are met. The guidance is effective from March 12, 2020 through December 31, 2024. The Adviser is currently evaluating the impact of this new guidance on the Fund's financial statements.
In June 2022, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2022-03, Fair Value Measurement of Equity Securities Subject to Contractual Sale Restrictions ("ASU 2022-03"). ASU 2022-03 clarifies the guidance in ASC 820, related to the measurement of the fair value of an equity security subject to contractual sale restrictions, where it eliminates the ability to apply a discount to fair value of these securities, and introduces disclosure requirements related to such equity securities. The guidance is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2023, and allows for early adoption. Management is currently evaluating the impact of applying this update.
Effective January 24, 2023, the SEC adopted rule and form amendments to require mutual funds and ETFs to transmit concise and visually engaging streamlined annual and semiannual reports to shareholders that highlight key information deemed important for retail investors to assess and monitor their fund investments. Other information, including financial statements, will no longer appear in the funds' streamlined shareholder reports but must be available online, delivered free of charge upon request, and filed on a semiannual basis on Form N-CSR. The rule and form amendments have a compliance date of July 24, 2024.

At this time, management is evaluating the impact of these rule and form amendment changes on the content of the current shareholder report and the newly created annual and semiannual streamlined shareholder reports.
NOTE 2 — Risk Considerations
Investing in the Fund may involve certain risks including, but not limited to, those described below.
Market Risk: Because the values of the Fund's investments will fluctuate with market conditions, so will the value of your investment in the Fund. You could lose money on your investment in the Fund or the Fund could underperform other investments.
Interest Rate and Credit Risk: The values of, and the income generated by, most debt securities held by the Fund may be affected by changing interest rates and by changes in the effective maturities and credit rating of these securities. For example, the value of debt securities in the Fund's portfolio generally will decline when interest rates rise and increase when interest rates fall. In addition, falling interest rates may cause an issuer to redeem, call or refinance a security before its stated maturity, which may result in the Fund having to reinvest the proceeds in lower yielding securities.
Mortgage-Backed and Other Asset-Backed Securities Risk: The values of some mortgage-backed and other asset-backed securities may expose the Fund to a lower rate of return upon reinvestment of principal. When interest rates rise, the value of mortgage-related securities generally will decline; however, when interest rates are declining, the value of mortgage related-securities with prepayment features may not increase as much as other fixed income securities. The rate of prepayments on underlying mortgages will affect the price and volatility of a mortgage-related security, and may shorten or extend the effective maturity of the security beyond what was anticipated at the time of purchase. If an unanticipated rate of prepayment on underlying mortgages increases the effective maturity of a mortgage-related security, the volatility of the security can be expected to increase. The value of these securities may also fluctuate in response to the market's perception of the creditworthiness of the issuers. Additionally, although mortgages and mortgage-related securities are generally supported by some form of government or private guarantee and/or insurance, there is no assurance that private guarantors or insurers will meet their obligations.
Stripped Mortgage-Backed Interest Only ("I/O") and Principal Only ("P/O") Securities: Stripped mortgage backed securities are usually structured with two classes that receive different proportions of the interest and principal distributions on a pool of mortgage assets. In certain cases, one class will receive all of the interest payments on the underlying mortgages (the I/O class), while the other class will receive all of the principal payments (the P/O class). The Fund currently has investments in I/O securities. The yield to maturity on I/Os is sensitive to the rate of principal repayments (including prepayments) on the related underlying mortgage assets, and principal payments may have a material effect on yield-to-maturity. If the underlying mortgage assets experience greater than anticipated prepayments of principal, a Fund may not fully recoup its initial investment in I/Os.
Credit Risk: Debt securities are subject to credit risk, meaning that the issuer of the debt security may default or fail to make timely payments of principal or interest. The values of any of the Fund's investments may also decline in response to events affecting the issuer or its credit rating. The lower rated debt securities in which the Fund may invest are considered speculative and are generally subject to greater volatility and risk of loss than investment grade securities, particularly in deteriorating economic conditions. The Fund invests a significant portion of its assets in securities of issuers that hold mortgage-and asset-backed securities and direct investments in securities backed by commercial and residential mortgage loans and other financial assets. The value and related income of these securities is sensitive to changes in economic conditions, including delinquencies and/or defaults. Continuing shifts in the market's perception of credit quality on securities backed by commercial and residential mortgage loans and other financial assets may result in increased volatility of market price and periods of illiquidity that can negatively impact the valuation of certain securities held by the Fund.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)

Repurchase Agreements: Repurchase agreements permit the Fund to maintain liquidity and earn income over periods of time as short as overnight. Repurchase agreements held by the Fund are fully collateralized by U.S. Government securities, or securities issued by U.S. Government agencies, or securities that are within the three highest credit categories assigned by established rating agencies (Aaa, Aa, or A by Moody's or AAA, AA or A by Standard & Poor's) or, if not rated by Moody's or Standard & Poor's, are of equivalent investment quality as determined by the Adviser. Such collateral is in the possession of the Fund's custodian. The collateral is evaluated daily to ensure its fair value equals or exceeds the current fair value of the repurchase agreements including accrued interest. 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.
The Fund may enter into repurchase agreements, under the terms of a Master Repurchase Agreement ("MRA"). The MRA permits the Fund, under certain circumstances including an event of default (such as bankruptcy or insolvency), to offset payables and/or receivables under the MRA with collateral held and/or posted to the counterparty and create one single net payment due to or from the Fund. However, bankruptcy or insolvency laws of a particular jurisdiction may impose restrictions on or prohibitions against such a right of offset in the event of a MRA counterparty's bankruptcy or insolvency. Pursuant to the terms of the MRA, the Fund receives securities as collateral with a fair value in excess of the repurchase price to be received by the Fund upon the maturity of the repurchase transaction. Upon a bankruptcy or insolvency of the MRA counterparty, the Fund recognizes a liability with respect to such excess collateral to reflect the Fund's obligation under bankruptcy law to return the excess to the counterparty. Repurchase agreements outstanding at the end of the period are listed in the Fund's Portfolio of Investments.
NOTE 3 — Purchases and Sales of Investment Securities
Cost of purchases of investment securities (excluding short-term investments) aggregated $268,533,256 for the period ended June 30, 2023. The proceeds and cost of securities sold resulting in net realized losses of $3,273,048 aggregated $104,641,120 and $107,914,168, respectively, for the period ended June 30, 2023.
NOTE 4 — Advisory Fees and Other Affiliated Transactions
Pursuant to an Investment Advisory Agreement (the "Agreement"), advisory fees were paid by the Fund to First Pacific Advisors, LP (the "Adviser"). Under the terms of this Agreement, the Fund pays the Adviser a monthly fee calculated at the annual rate of 0.50% of the Fund's average daily net assets. In addition, the Adviser has contractually agreed to reimburse the Fund for Total Annual Fund Operating Expenses (excluding interest, taxes, brokerage fees and commissions payable by the Fund in connection with the purchase or sale of portfolio securities, redemption liquidity service expenses, and extraordinary expenses, including litigation expenses not incurred in the Fund's ordinary course of business) in excess of 0.57% of the average net assets of the Fund attributable to the Advisor Class and 0.52% of the average net assets of the Fund attributable to the Institutional Class for the period ending April 30, 2023, and in excess of 0.60% of the average net assets of the Fund attributable to the Advisor Class and 0.55% of the average net assets of the Fund attributable to the Institutional Class for the one-year period ending April 30, 2024. During the term of the current expense limit agreement, beginning May 1, 2023 and ending April 30, 2024, any expenses reimbursed to the Fund by the Adviser during any of the previous 36 months may be recouped by the Adviser, provided the Fund's Total Annual Fund Operating Expenses do not exceed the then-applicable expense limit. Beginning May 1, 2023, any expenses reimbursed to the Fund by the Adviser during any of the previous 36 months may be recouped by the Adviser, provided the Fund's Total Annual Fund Operating Expenses do not exceed 0.74% of the average net assets of the Fund attributable to the Advisor Class and 0.64% of the average net assets of the Fund attributable to the Institutional Class for any subsequent calendar year, regardless of whether there is a then-effective higher expense limit. This agreement may only be terminated earlier by the Fund's Board of Trustees (the "Board") or upon termination of the Agreement. As of

FPA FLEXIBLE FIXED INCOME FUND
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)
(Unaudited)
June 30, 2023, the Adviser may seek recoupment of expense reimbursements in the amounts of $825,067, $1,079,162 $1,171,116 and $458,272 no later than December 31, 2023, December 31, 2024, December 31, 2025 and December 31, 2026, respectively.
For the period ended June 30, 2023, the Fund paid aggregate fees and expenses of $51,771 to all Trustees who are not affiliated persons of the Adviser. Certain officers of the Fund are also officers of the Adviser.
NOTE 5 — Federal Income Tax
No provision for federal income tax is required because the Fund has elected to be taxed as a "regulated investment company" under the Internal Revenue Code (the "Code") and intends to maintain this qualification and to distribute each year to its shareholders, in accordance with the minimum distribution requirements of the Code, its taxable net investment income and taxable net realized gains on investments.
The cost of investment securities held at June 30, 2023 was $828,301,974 for federal income tax purposes. Gross unrealized appreciation and depreciation for all investment at June 30, 2023, for federal income tax purposes was $2,035,126 and $30,201,340, respectively resulting in net unrealized depreciation of $28,166,214.
As of and during the period ended June 30, 2023, the Fund did not have any liability for unrecognized tax benefits. The Fund recognizes interest and penalties, if any, related to unrecognized tax benefits as income tax expense in the Statement of Operations. During the year, the Fund did not incur any interest or penalties. The statute of limitations remains open for the last 3 years, once a return is filed. No examinations are in progress at this time.
NOTE 6 — Disclosure of Fair Value Measurements
The Fund uses the following methods and inputs to establish the fair value of its assets and liabilities. Use of particular methods and inputs may vary over time based on availability and relevance as market and economic conditions evolve.
Equity securities are generally valued each day at the official closing price of, or the last reported sale price on, the exchange or market on which such securities principally are traded, as of the close of business on that day.
If there have been no sales that day, equity securities are generally valued at the last available bid price. Securities that are unlisted and fixed-income and convertible securities listed on a national securities exchange for which the over-the-counter ("OTC") market more accurately reflects the securities' value in the judgment of the Fund's officers, are valued at the most recent bid price. However, most fixed income securities are generally valued at prices obtained from pricing vendors and brokers. Vendors value such securities based on one or more of the following inputs: transactions, bids, offers quotations from dealers and trading systems, spreads and other relationships observed in the markets among comparable securities, benchmarks, underlying equity of the issuer, and proprietary pricing models such as cash flows, financial or collateral performance and other reference data (includes prepayments, defaults, collateral, credit enhancements, and interest rate volatility). Short-term corporate notes with maturities of 60 days or less at the time of purchase are valued at amortized cost.
Securities for which representative market quotations are not readily available or are considered unreliable by the Adviser are valued as determined in good faith under procedures adopted by the authority of the Fund's Board of Trustees. Various inputs may be reviewed in order to make a good faith determination of a security's value. These inputs include, but are not limited to, the type and cost of the security; contractual or legal restrictions on resale of the security; relevant financial or business developments of the issuer; actively traded similar or related securities; conversion or exchange rights on the security; related corporate actions; significant events occurring after the close of trading in the security; and changes in overall market conditions. Fair valuations and valuations of investments that are not actively trading involve judgment and may differ materially from valuations of investments that would have been used had greater market activity occurred.

FPA FLEXIBLE FIXED INCOME FUND
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)
(Unaudited)
The Fund classifies its assets based on three valuation methodologies. Level 1 values are based on quoted market prices in active markets for identical assets. Level 2 values are based on significant observable market inputs, such as quoted prices for similar assets and quoted prices in inactive markets or other market observable inputs as noted above including spreads, cash flows, financial performance, prepayments, defaults, collateral, credit enhancements, and interest rate volatility. Level 3 values are based on significant unobservable inputs that reflect the Fund's determination of assumptions that market participants might reasonably use in valuing the assets. The valuation levels are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities. The following table presents the valuation levels of the Fund's investments as of June 30, 2023: (see Portfolio of Investments for industry categories):

NOTE 8 — Collateral Requirements
FASB Accounting Standards Update No. 2011-11, Disclosures about Offsetting Assets and Liabilities, requires disclosures to make financial statements that are prepared under U.S. GAAP more comparable to those prepared under International Financial Reporting Standards. Under this guidance the Fund discloses both gross and net information about instruments and transactions eligible for offset such as instruments and transactions subject to an agreement similar to a master netting arrangement. In addition, the Fund discloses collateral received and posted in connection with master netting agreements or similar arrangements.
The following table presents the Fund's OTC derivative assets, liabilities and master repurchase agreements by counterparty net of amounts available for offset under an ISDA Master agreement or similar agreements and net of the related collateral received or pledged by the Fund as of June 30, 2023:

NOTE 9 — Commitments and Contingencies
In the normal course of business, the Fund's investment activities involve executions, settlement and financing of various transactions resulting in receivables from, and payables to, brokers, dealers and the Fund's custodian. These activities may expose the Fund to risk in the event that such parties are unable to fulfill contractual obligations. Management does not anticipate any material losses from counterparties with whom it conducts business. Consistent with standard business practice, the Fund enters into contracts that contain a variety of indemnifications. The maximum exposure of the Fund under these arrangements and activities is unknown.
Commitments to extend credit or invest capital include loan or debt-related proceeds the Fund is obligated to advance, such as delayed draws or revolving credit arrangements, or delayed draws of investments in limited partnerships. Commitments generally have fixed expiration dates or other termination clauses. Unrealized gains or losses associated with unfunded commitments are recorded in the consolidated financial statements and reflected as an adjustment to the fair value of the related security in the Consolidated Schedule of Investments. The par amount of the unfunded commitments is not recognized by the Fund until it becomes funded. As of June 30, 2023, the Fund was liable for the following unfunded commitments:
Asset Class | Â | Unfunded Commitment | Â | ||||
Corporate Bank Debt | Â | $ | 640,000 | Â | Â |

SHAREHOLDER EXPENSE EXAMPLE
June 30, 2023 (Unaudited)
Fund Expenses
Mutual fund shareholders generally incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, and (2) ongoing costs, including advisory and administrative fees; shareholder service fees; and other Fund expenses. The 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 at the beginning of the year and held for the entire year.
Actual Expenses
The information in the table under the heading "Actual Performance" provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this column, 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 column in the row entitled "Expenses Paid During Period" to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.
Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes
The information in the table under the heading "Hypothetical Performance (5% return before expenses)" 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 funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of other funds.
Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transactional costs. Therefore, the information under the heading "Hypothetical Performance (5% return before expenses)" is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will 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. Even though the Fund does not charge transaction fees, if you purchase shares through a broker, the broker may charge you a fee. You should evaluate other mutual funds' transaction fees and any applicable broker fees to assess the total cost of ownership for comparison purposes.
