NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
NOTE 1–ORGANIZATION
The Brandes International Equity Fund (the “International Fund”), the Brandes Global Equity Fund (the “Global Fund”), the Brandes Emerging Markets Value Fund (the “Emerging Markets Fund”), the Brandes International Small Cap Equity Fund (the “International Small Cap Fund”), the Brandes Small Cap Value Fund (the “Small Cap Value Fund”) and the Brandes Core Plus Fixed Income Fund (the “Core Plus Fund”) (each a “Fund” and collectively the “Funds”) are series of Brandes Investment Trust (the “Trust”). The Trust is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the “1940 Act”) as a diversified, open-end management investment company.
The International Fund, Global Fund, Emerging Markets Fund, International Small Cap Fund, Small Cap Value Fund and Core Plus Fund began operations on January 2, 1997, October 6, 2008, January 31, 2011, February 1, 2012, January 2, 2018 and December 28, 2007, respectively. Prior to January 31, 2011 for the Emerging Markets Fund, February 1, 2012 for the International Small Cap and January 2, 2018 for the Small Cap Value Fund, these Funds’ portfolios were managed as private investment funds with investment objectives, investment policies and strategies that were, in all material respects, equivalent to those of the Emerging Markets Fund, International Small Cap Fund and Small Cap Value Fund, respectively.
The International Fund, Emerging Markets Fund and International Small Cap Fund have four classes of shares: Class A, Class C, Class I and Class R6. The Global Fund has three classes of shares: Class A, Class C and Class I. The Small Cap Value Fund and Core Plus Fund have three classes of shares: Class A, Class I and Class R6.
The International Fund and Global Fund invest their assets primarily in equity securities of issuers with market capitalizations greater than $5 billion. The International, International Small Cap and Emerging Markets Funds invest their assets in securities of foreign companies, while the Global Fund invests its assets in securities of foreign and domestic companies. The Small Cap Value Fund invests primarily in U.S. equity securities of issuers with market capitalizations less than $5 billion. The Core Plus Fund invests predominantly in debt securities issued by U.S. and foreign companies and debt obligations issued or guaranteed by the U.S. Government and foreign governments and their agencies and instrumentalities.
NOTE 2–SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Each Fund is an investment company that applies the accounting and reporting guidance issued in Topic 946, “Financial Services-Investment Companies”, by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”). The following is a summary of
26
Brandes Investment Trust
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — (continued)
significant accounting policies consistently followed by the Funds. These policies are in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) in the United States of America.
A. | Fair Value Measurements. The Trust has adopted GAAP accounting principles related to fair value accounting standards which establish a definition of fair value and set out a hierarchy for measuring fair value. These standards require additional disclosures about the various inputs and valuation techniques used to develop the measurements of fair value and a discussion of changes in valuation techniques and related inputs during the period. These inputs are summarized in the three broad levels listed below: |
Level 1—Fair value measurement within Level 1 should be based on an unadjusted quoted price in an active market that the Funds have the ability to access for the asset or liability at the measurement date. Because a quoted price alone forms the basis for the measurement, the access requirement within Level 1 limits discretion in pricing the asset or liability, including in situations in which there are multiple markets for the asset or liability with different prices and no single market represents a principal market for the asset or liability. Importantly, the FASB has indicated that when a quoted price in an active market for a security is available, that price should be used to measure fair value without regard to an entity’s intent to transact at that price. | |
Level 2—Fair value measurement within Level 2 should be based on all inputs other than unadjusted quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability. Other significant observable market inputs include quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets, quoted adjusted prices in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active, and model derived valuations in which the majority of significant inputs and significant value drivers are observable in active markets. | |
Level 3—Fair value measurement within Level 3 should be based on unobservable inputs in such cases where markets do not exist or are illiquid. Significant unobservable inputs include model derived valuations in which the majority of significant inputs or significant value drivers are unobservable. Unobservable inputs are those inputs that reflect the Fund’s own assumptions that market participants would use to price the asset or liability based on the best available information. | |
B. | Security Valuation. Common and preferred stocks, exchange-traded funds and financial derivative instruments, such as futures contracts and options contracts that are traded on a national securities or commodities exchange, are valued at the last reported sales price at the close of regular trading on |
27
Brandes Investment Trust
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — (continued)
each day the exchange is open for trading, in the case of common stocks and exchange-traded funds, or, in the case of futures contracts or options contracts, the settlement price determined by the relevant exchange. Securities listed on the NASDAQ National Market System for which market quotations are readily available are valued using the NASDAQ Official Closing Price. To the extent these securities are actively traded and valuation adjustments are not applied, they are categorized as Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy. | |
Equity securities traded on an exchange for which there have been no sales on the valuation date are generally valued at the mean between last bid and ask price on such day and are categorized as Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy, or are fair valued by the Fair Valuation Committee. | |
Investments in registered open-end management investment companies are valued based upon the Net Asset Values (“NAVs”) of such investments and are categorized as Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy. | |
Valuation adjustments may be applied to certain common and preferred stocks that are solely traded on a foreign exchange to account for the market movement between the close of the foreign market and the close of the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”). These securities are generally valued using pricing service providers that consider the correlation of the trading patterns of the foreign securities to the intraday trading in the U.S. markets for investments. Securities using these valuation adjustments are categorized as Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy. As of June 30, 2021, the International Fund, Global Fund, Emerging Markets Fund and International Small Cap Fund had securities with market values of $543,563,871, $21,471,711, $845,460,841 and $182,060,292 that represent 82.07%, 46.06%, 58.70%, and 43.94% of each Fund’s net assets, respectively, that were fair valued using these valuation adjustments. | |
Fixed income securities (other than repurchase agreements and demand notes) including corporate, convertible and municipal bonds and notes, U.S. government agencies, U.S. Treasury obligations, sovereign issues, bank loans, convertible preferred securities, fixed income securities purchased on a delayed delivery basis and non-U.S. bonds are normally valued on the basis of quotes obtained from brokers and dealers or independent pricing services or sources. Independent pricing services typically use information provided by market makers or estimates of market values obtained from yield data relating to investments or securities with similar characteristics. The service providers’ internal models use inputs that are observable such as, among other things, issuer details, interest rates, yield curves, prepayment speeds, credit risks/ |

spreads, default rates and quoted prices for similar assets. Securities that use similar valuation techniques and inputs as described above are categorized as Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy. | |
Rights that are traded on a national securities exchange are valued at the last reported sales price at the close of regular trading on each day the exchange is open. A right is a privilege offered by a corporation to its shareholders pro rata to subscribe to a certain security at a specified price, often for a short period. Rights may or may not be transferable. | |
Mortgage and asset-backed securities are usually issued as separate tranches, or classes, of securities within each package of underlying securities. These securities are also normally valued by pricing service providers that use broker-dealer quotations or valuation estimates from their internal pricing models. The pricing models for these securities usually consider tranche level attributes, estimated cash flows and market based yield spreads for each tranche, and current market data and incorporate packaged collateral performance, as available. Mortgage and asset-backed securities that use such valuation techniques and inputs are categorized as Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy. | |
Repurchase agreements and demand notes, for which neither vendor pricing nor market maker prices are available, are valued at amortized cost on the day of valuation, unless Brandes Investment Partners, L.P. (the “Advisor”) determines that the use of amortized cost valuation on such day is not appropriate (in which case such instrument is fair valued in accordance with the fair value procedures of the Trust). | |
Certain securities may be fair valued in accordance with the fair valuation procedures approved by the Board of Trustees. The Fair Valuation Committee is generally responsible for overseeing the day-to-day valuation processes and reports periodically to the Board. The Fair Valuation Committee is authorized to make all necessary determinations of the fair value of portfolio securities and other assets for which market quotations are not readily available or if it is deemed that the prices obtained from brokers and dealers or independent pricing services are unreliable. The securities fair valued by the Fair Valuation Committee are indicated in the Schedules of Investments and are categorized as Level 2 or Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy. Certain vendor priced securities may also be considered Level 3 if significant unobservable inputs are used by the vendors. | |
In using fair value pricing, each Fund attempts to establish the price that it might reasonably have expected to receive upon a sale of the security at 4:00 p.m. Eastern time. Valuing securities at fair value involves greater reliance on judgment than valuation of securities based on readily available |

market quotations. A Fund using fair value to price securities may value those securities higher or lower than another fund using market quotations or fair value to price the same securities. Further, there can be no assurance that the Fund could obtain the fair value assigned to a security if it were to sell the security at approximately the time at which the Fund determines its net asset value. |
The following is a summary of the level inputs used, as of June 30, 2021, involving the Funds' assets carried at fair value. The inputs used for valuing securities may not be an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities.
