*    A shareholder may be required to pay a commission to their financial intermediary.

**    “Other Expenses” are estimated for the current year because the Fund does not expect to commence operations until August 21, 2017.

***    Driehaus Capital Management LLC, the Fund’s investment adviser (the “Adviser”), has entered into a contractual agreement to cap the Fund’s ordinary annual operating expenses (excluding interest, taxes, brokerage commissions, other investment-related expenses, acquired fund fees and expenses, and extraordinary expenses, such as litigation and other expenses not incurred in the ordinary course of the Fund’s business) at 1.20% of average daily net assets for the Investor Shares and 0.95% of average daily net assets for the Institutional Shares until the earlier of the termination of the investment advisory agreement, by the Board of Trustees or the Fund’s shareholders, or August 20, 2020. Pursuant to the agreement, and so long as the investment advisory agreement is in place, for a period of three years subsequent to the Fund’s commencement of operations on August 21, 2017, the Adviser is entitled to reimbursement for previously waived fees and reimbursed expenses to the extent that the Fund’s expense ratio remains below the operating expense cap that was in place at the time of the waiver / expense reimbursement as well as the current operating expense cap.

Expense Example: This Example is intended to help you compare the cost of investing in the Fund with the cost of investing in other mutual funds. The Example assumes that you invest $10,000 in the Fund for the time periods indicated and then redeem all of your shares at the end of those periods. The Example also assumes that your investment has a 5% return each year and that the Fund’s operating expenses remain the same. The expense reimbursement shown in the Annual Fund Operating Expenses table is reflected for each of the three years in the Example. Although your actual costs may be higher or lower, based on these assumptions your costs would be:

 

       1 Year      3 Years

Investor

     $122      $381

Institutional

     $ 97      $303

Portfolio Turnover

The Fund pays transaction costs, such as commissions, when it buys and sells securities (or “turns over” its portfolio). A higher portfolio turnover rate may indicate higher transaction costs and may result in higher taxes when Fund shares are held in a taxable account. These costs, which are not reflected in Annual Fund Operating Expenses or in the Example, affect the Fund’s performance. Portfolio turnover information is not included since the Fund has not commenced operations as of the date of this Prospectus.

Principal Investment Strategy

The Fund uses a growth style of investment in equity securities, including common and preferred stocks. Under normal market conditions, the Fund invests at least 80% of its net assets (plus the amount of borrowings for investment purposes) in the equity securities of U.S. small-capitalization (“small cap”) companies. For purposes of the Fund, the investment adviser currently considers a company to be a small cap company if it is within the same market capitalization range at the time of investment as those included in the Russell 2000® Growth Index. As of the date of this Prospectus, approximately 96% of the Russell 2000® Growth Index consisted of companies with a market capitalization of less than $6.0 billion. Securities of companies whose market capitalization no longer meets this definition after purchase may continue to be held by the Fund. In addition, while the Fund will invest primarily in the equity securities of U.S. small cap companies, the Fund may also from time to time invest up to a maximum of 20% of its assets in the equity securities of non-U.S. companies that trade in the U.S. or in securities of companies above the capitalization range of the Russell 2000® Growth Index. The Fund may invest in companies with limited operating histories.

The Fund expects to frequently and actively trade its portfolio securities. Investment decisions for the Fund’s growth style of investing are based on the belief that fundamentally strong companies are more likely to generate superior earnings growth on a sustained basis and are more likely to experience positive earnings revisions. This decision involves evaluating a company’s competitive position, evaluating industry dynamics, identifying potential growth catalysts and assessing the financial position of the company. The decision is also based on the evaluation of relative valuation, macroeconomic and behavioral factors affecting the company and its stock price. The Fund sells holdings for a variety of reasons, including to take profits, changes to the fundamental investment thesis, changes in the risk/reward assessment of the holding, an assessment that the holding is efficiently priced, to make room for more attractive ideas or for other portfolio or risk management considerations.

Principal Risks

All investments, including those in mutual funds, have risks. No investment is suitable for all investors. The Fund is intended for long-term investors who can accept the risks involved in investing in small cap companies. Of course, there can be no assurance that the Fund will achieve its objective. You may lose money by investing in the Fund. Below are the main risks of investing in the Fund:

Market Risk. The Fund is subject to market risk, which is the possibility that stock prices overall will decline over short or long periods. Stock markets tend to move in cycles, with periods of rising prices and periods of falling prices. These fluctuations are expected to have a substantial influence on the value of the Fund’s shares.

Growth Stock Risk. Growth stocks are typically priced higher than other stocks, in relation to earnings and other measures, because investors believe they have more growth potential. This potential may or may not be realized and, if it is not realized, may result in a loss to the Fund. Growth stock prices also tend to be more volatile than the overall market.

Small-Cap Company Risk. The Fund invests in companies that are smaller, less established, with limited operating histories and less liquid markets for their stock, and therefore may be riskier investments. While small-sized companies generally have the potential for rapid growth, the securities of these companies often involve greater risks than investments in larger, more established companies because small-sized companies may lack the management experience, financial resources, product diversification and competitive strengths of larger companies. In addition, in many instances the securities of small-sized companies are traded only over-the-counter or on a regional securities exchange, and the frequency and volume of their trading is substantially less than is typical of larger companies. The value of securities of smaller, less well known issuers can be more volatile than that of larger issuers.

Micro-Cap Company Risk. The Fund may also invest in the securities of micro-cap companies, which may be more volatile in price, have wider spreads between their bid and ask prices, and have significantly lower trading volumes than the securities of larger capitalization companies. As a result, the purchase or sale of more than a limited number of shares of the securities of a smaller company may affect its market price. The Fund may need a considerable amount of time to purchase or sell its positions in these securities. Some U.S. micro-cap companies are followed by few, if any, securities analysts, and there tends to be less publicly available information about such companies. Their securities generally have even more limited trading volumes and are subject to even more abrupt or erratic market price

Table of Contents

movements than are small-cap and mid-cap securities, and the Fund may be able to deal with only a few market-makers when purchasing and selling micro-cap securities. Such companies also may have limited markets, financial resources or product lines, may lack management depth, and may be more vulnerable to adverse business or market developments. These conditions, which create greater opportunities to find securities trading well below the investment adviser’s estimate of the company’s current worth, also involve increased risk.

Allocation Risk. The Fund’s overall risk level will depend on the market sectors in which the Fund is invested. Because the Fund may have significant weightings in a particular company, industry or market sector, the value of Fund shares may be affected by events that adversely affect that company, industry or market sector and may fluctuate more than that of a less focused fund.

Health Care Securities Risk. Because the Fund has a significant allocation to the health care sector, it may be vulnerable to setbacks in the industries in that sector. Health care companies may be negatively affected by scientific or technological developments, research and development costs, increased competition within the health care sector, rapid product obsolescence and patent expirations. The price of securities of health care companies may fluctuate widely due to changes in legislation or other government regulations, including uncertainty regarding health care reform and its long term impact, reductions in government funding and the unpredictability of winning government approvals.

Information Technology Securities Risk. Because the Fund has a significant allocation to the information technology sector, it may be vulnerable to setbacks in the industries in that sector. Generally, the companies in this sector develop, produce or distribute products or services related to computer hardware, software, semi-conductors and electronics. Technology companies may be vulnerable to market saturation and rapid product obsolescence. Many technology companies operate in a constantly changing environment and have limited business lines and limited financial resources, making them highly vulnerable to business and economic risks. In addition, technology company securities may be subject to abrupt or erratic market movements, management that is dependent on a limited number of people, short product cycles, changing consumer preferences, aggressive pricing of products and services, new market entrants and dependency on patent protection.

High Rates of Turnover. It is anticipated that the Fund will experience high rates of portfolio turnover, which may result in payment by the Fund of above-average transaction costs and could result in the payment by shareholders of taxes on above-average amounts of realized investment gains, including net short-term capital gains, which are taxed as ordinary income for federal income tax purposes.

Manager Risk. How the Fund’s investment adviser manages the Fund will impact the Fund’s performance. The Fund may lose money if the investment adviser’s investment strategy does not achieve the Fund’s objective or the investment adviser does not implement the strategy successfully.

Performance

The bar chart and table provide some indication of the risks of investing in the Fund. The bar chart shows the volatility — or variability — of the Fund’s Investor shares annual total returns over time, and shows that Fund performance can change from year to year. The table shows the Fund’s average annual total returns for certain time periods compared to the returns of two broad-based securities indices. Of course, the Fund’s past performance (before and after taxes) is not necessarily an indication of its future performance. Updated performance information is available by visiting www.driehaus.com or by calling 1-800-560-6111.

The Fund expects to commence operations as a series of the Driehaus Mutual Funds on August 21, 2017, when it succeeds to the assets of the Driehaus Institutional Small Cap, L.P. (the “Predecessor Partnership”), Driehaus Small Cap Investors, L.P., Driehaus Institutional Small Cap Recovery Fund, L.P. and Driehaus Small Cap Recovery Fund, L.P., (together, the “Limited Partnerships”), which were managed by the same investment team with substantially the same investment objective, policies and philosophies as the Fund. The investment portfolios of the Limited Partnerships were identical and therefore had similar performance. The performance of the Predecessor Partnership is shown here because it has been in operation the longest. The Predecessor Partnership was not registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (“1940 Act”), and thus was not subject to certain investment and operational restrictions that are imposed by the 1940 Act. If the Predecessor Partnership had been registered under

Table of Contents

the 1940 Act, its performance may have been adversely affected. The Predecessor Partnership’s performance has not been restated to reflect estimated expenses applicable to each class of shares of the Fund. Accordingly, future Fund performance may be different than the Predecessor Partnership’s past performance. After-tax performance returns are not included for the Predecessor Partnership. The Predecessor Partnership was not a regulated investment company under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and therefore did not distribute current or accumulated earnings and profits and was not subject to the diversification and source of income requirements applicable to regulated investment companies. The Limited Partnerships’ financial information is included in the Fund’s Statement of Additional Information.

Tax Information

The Fund’s distributions may be taxable as ordinary income or capital gains, unless you are investing through a tax-advantaged arrangement, such as a 401(k) or an IRA. If you are investing through a tax-advantaged arrangement, assets held through such arrangement may be taxable upon withdrawal.

Payments to Broker-Dealers and Other Financial Intermediaries

If you purchase Investor Shares of the Fund through a broker-dealer or other financial intermediary (such as a bank), the Fund and its related companies may pay the intermediary for the sale of Fund shares and related services. These payments may create a conflict of interest by influencing the broker-dealer or other intermediary and your salesperson to recommend the Fund over another investment. Ask your salesperson or visit your financial intermediary’s web site for more information.

Additional Information About the Fund

 

 

 

Goal of the Fund

Driehaus Small Cap Growth Fund (the “Fund”) strives to increase the value of your investment (capital appreciation). In other words, the Fund tries to buy equity securities with a potential to appreciate in price. Because stock markets in general, and the individual securities purchased by the Fund, go down in price as well as up, you may lose money by investing in the Fund. The Fund is a specialized investment vehicle and should be used as part of your overall investment strategy to diversify your holdings. The Fund is a series of the Driehaus Mutual Funds (the “Trust”), an open-end management investment company. Please review all the disclosure information carefully.

Who May Want to Invest in the Fund

The Fund may be an appropriate investment if you:

    Are not looking for current income
    Are prepared to receive taxable capital gains
    Are willing to accept higher risk in exchange for potentially higher returns
    Can tolerate the increased price volatility, and other risks associated with growth style investing
    Are investing with long-term goals in mind (such as retirement or funding a child’s education, which may be many years in the future) and, therefore, are willing to hold this investment long term

Investment Adviser

The Fund is managed by Driehaus Capital Management LLC (the “Adviser”), a registered investment adviser founded in 1982. As of June 30, 2017, the Adviser managed approximately $8.8 billion in assets.

Investment Philosophy

The Adviser employs an active, growth equity investment philosophy that focuses on identifying company-specific growth inflection points and exploiting how stocks trade during subsequent periods. The Adviser believes markets tend to misprice stocks of companies following positive growth inflections and that these inefficiencies often follow predictable and exploitable patterns. Specifically, following a positive trend change in a company’s potential or expected earnings growth trajectory, the Adviser believes investors often underestimate the future magnitude, acceleration and/or duration of earnings growth as they anchor their views to past information about the company. Additionally, the Adviser believes investors may underestimate the multiple expansions that follow growth inflections. The Adviser looks to exploit these inefficiencies by using fundamental and macro research to capitalize on the behavioral dynamics of the market. The Adviser will sell a holding based on a number of factors including to take profits, changes to the fundamental investment thesis, changes in the risk/reward assessment of the holding, an assessment that the holding is efficiently priced, to make room for more attractive ideas or for other portfolio or risk management considerations. This investment philosophy trades actively and may result in high portfolio turnover. High portfolio turnover in any year may result in payment by the Fund of above-average amounts of transaction costs and could result in the payment by shareholders of above-average amounts of taxes on realized investment gains.

Fund Distributions

The Fund intends to pay dividends, if any, at least annually. Such distributions can consist of both ordinary income and any realized capital gains. Unless you are purchasing Fund shares through a tax-advantaged account (such as an IRA), buying Fund shares at a time when the Fund has substantial undistributed income or gains can cost you money in taxes. Contact the Fund for information concerning when distributions will be paid. On a continuing basis, due to high portfolio turnover of the Fund, a greater percentage of capital gains may be paid each year by the Fund with a significant percentage of those capital gains constituting short-term capital gains, which are taxed at ordinary income tax rates for federal income tax purposes. You should consult your tax advisor regarding your tax situation.

Investment Objectives and Principal Investment Strategies

The investment objective of the Driehaus Small Cap Growth Fund is to maximize capital appreciation. This investment objective is fundamental and cannot be changed without the approval of shareholders. The Fund invests primarily in equity securities of small cap U.S. companies exhibiting strong growth characteristics. Under normal market conditions, the Fund invests at least 80% of its net assets (plus the amount of borrowings for investment purposes) in the equity securities of U.S. small cap companies. The Fund will provide shareholders 60 days’ prior written notice of a change in the Fund’s non-fundamental policy of investing at least 80% of its net assets in the equity securities of U.S. small cap companies. For purposes of the Fund, the Adviser currently considers a company to be a small cap company if it is within the same market capitalization range at the time of investment as those included in the Russell 2000® Growth Index. As of the date of this Prospectus, approximately 96% of the Russell 2000® Growth Index consisted of companies with a market capitalization of less than $6 billion. Securities of companies whose market capitalization no longer meets this definition after purchase may continue to be held by the Fund. Current dividend income is not an investment consideration, and dividend income is incidental to the Fund’s overall investment objective. The Fund may also invest in securities of issuers with limited operating histories.

Equity securities include common and preferred stocks, bearer and registered shares, warrants or rights or options that are convertible into common stock, debt securities that are convertible into common stock, depositary receipts for those securities, and other classes of stock that may exist. The Fund may invest in cash, money market mutual funds or similar cash equivalents. While the Fund will invest primarily in the securities of U.S. companies, the Fund may also invest in American Depositary Receipts and American Depositary Shares, but generally in an amount no greater than 20% of the assets of the Fund (measured as of the date of investment).

The Adviser generally intends to remain fully invested. However, the Fund may, from time to time, take temporary defensive positions that are inconsistent with the Fund’s principal investment strategy in attempting to respond to adverse market, economic, political or other conditions. As a temporary defensive measure, the Fund may hold some or all of its assets in cash, money market mutual funds or similar cash equivalents. The Fund may also purchase such securities if the Adviser believes they may be necessary to meet the Fund’s liquidity needs. During periods of time when the Fund is invested defensively, the Fund may not achieve its investment objective.

Principal Risks

This section contains greater detail on the risks an investor would face as a shareholder in the Fund based on the Fund’s investment objectives and strategies.

Market Risk. The Fund is subject to market risk, which is the possibility that stock prices overall will decline over short or long periods. Stock markets tend to move in cycles, with periods of rising prices and periods of falling prices. These fluctuations are expected to have a substantial influence on the value of the Fund’s shares.

Growth Stock Risk. Growth stocks are typically priced higher than other stocks, in relation to earnings and other measures, because investors believe they have more growth potential. This potential may or may not be realized and, if it is not realized, may result in a loss to the Fund. Growth stock prices also tend to be more volatile than the overall market.

of time to purchase or sell its positions in these securities. Some U.S. micro-cap companies are followed by few, if any, securities analysts, and there tends to be less publicly available information about such companies. Their securities generally have even more limited trading volumes and are subject to even more abrupt or erratic market price movements than are small-cap and mid-cap securities, and the Fund may be able to deal with only a few market-makers when purchasing and selling micro-cap securities. Such companies also may have limited markets, financial resources or product lines, may lack management depth, and may be more vulnerable to adverse business or market developments.

Because the Fund may have significant weightings in a particular company, industry or market sector, the value of Fund shares may be affected by events that adversely affect that company, industry or market sector and may fluctuate more than that of a less focused fund.

Health Care Securities Risk. Because the Fund has a significant allocation to the health care sector, it may be vulnerable to setbacks in the industries in that sector. Health care companies may be negatively affected by scientific or technological developments, research and development costs, increased competition within the health care sector, rapid product obsolescence and patent expirations. The price of securities of health care companies may fluctuate widely due to changes in legislation or other government regulations, including uncertainty regarding health care reform and its long term impact, reductions in government funding and the unpredictability of winning government approvals.

Many technology companies operate in a constantly changing environment and have limited business lines and limited financial resources, making them highly vulnerable to business and economic risks. In addition, technology company securities may be subject to abrupt or erratic market movements, management that is dependent on a limited number of people, short product cycles, changing consumer preferences, aggressive pricing of products and services, new market entrants and dependency on patent protection.

High Rates of Turnover. The Fund’s annual turnover rate indicates changes in its portfolio investments. The Adviser will not consider portfolio turnover rate a limiting factor in making investment decisions consistent with the Fund’s investment objective and policies. It is anticipated that the Fund will experience high rates of portfolio turnover. High portfolio turnover in any year will result in payment by the Fund of above-average amounts of transaction costs and could result in the payment by shareholders of taxes on above-average amounts of realized investment gains, including net short-term capital gains, which are taxed as ordinary income for federal income tax purposes. Under normal market conditions, only securities that increase in value shortly after purchase and that generally continue to increase in value (although they may experience temporary stagnant or declining periods) will be retained by the Fund. Securities sold by the Fund may be purchased again at a later date if the Adviser perceives that the securities are again “timely.” In addition, portfolio adjustments will be made when conditions affecting relevant markets, particular industries or individual issues warrant such action. In light of these factors and the historical volatility of growth stocks, the Fund is likely to experience high portfolio turnover rates, but portfolio turnover rates may vary significantly from year to year. Portfolio turnover may also be affected by sales of portfolio securities necessary to meet cash requirements for redemptions of shares.

Manager Risk. How the Adviser manages the Fund will impact the Fund’s performance. The Fund may lose money if the Adviser’s investment strategy does not achieve the Fund’s objective or the Adviser does not implement the strategy successfully.

Other Investment Strategies and Risks

All investments, including those in mutual funds, have risks. No investment is suitable for all investors. The Fund is intended for long-term investors. Of course, there can be no assurance that the Fund will achieve its investment objective. There are specific restrictions on the Fund’s investments. Such restrictions are detailed in the Statement of

Additional Information (“SAI”). In addition to the principal risks discussed in the Fund Summary, the Fund’s investments involve additional potential risks which are summarized below. The SAI also contains more detailed or additional information about certain of these practices, the potential risks and/or the limitations adopted by the Fund to help manage such risks. The Fund may not use all of these techniques or strategies or might only use them from time-to-time.

Recent Market Events Risk. The domestic and foreign equity and debt capital markets have experienced unprecedented volatility in the past several years. This financial crisis has caused a significant decline in the value and liquidity of many securities and may create a higher degree of volatility in the net asset values of many mutual funds, including the Fund. Because these events are unprecedented, it is difficult to predict their magnitude or duration. Changes in market conditions will not have the same impact on all types of securities. In response to the crisis, the U.S. government, the Federal Reserve and certain foreign banks have taken steps to support financial markets, including by keeping interest rates at historically low levels. More recently, the Federal Reserve has reduced its market support activities. Further reduction or withdrawal of this support could negatively impact financial markets generally as well as result in higher interest rates, increased market volatility and reduce the value and liquidity of certain securities.

Impact of Certain Investments. The Fund may invest in a variety of securities, including those sold in initial public offerings and derivatives. Such investments may have a magnified performance impact on the Fund depending on the Fund’s size. The Fund may not experience similar performance as its assets grow or its investments change.

Depositary Receipts. The Fund may invest in foreign securities in the form of depositary receipts and/or securities traded directly on U.S. exchanges. Depositary receipts represent ownership of securities in foreign companies and are held in banks and trust companies. They include American Depositary Receipts (“ADRs”), which are traded on U.S. exchanges and are U.S. dollar-denominated.

Although ADRs do not eliminate the risks inherent in investing in the securities of foreign issuers, which include market, political, currency and regulatory risk, by investing in ADRs rather than directly in securities of foreign issuers, the Fund may avoid currency risks during the settlement period for purchases or sales. In general, there is a large, liquid market in the United States for many ADRs. The information available for ADRs is subject to the accounting, auditing and financial reporting standards of the domestic market exchange on which they are traded, in which standards are more uniform and more exacting than those to which many foreign issuers may be subject. The Fund may invest in ADRs sponsored or unsponsored by the issuer of the underlying security. In the case of an unsponsored ADR, the Fund may bear higher expenses and encounter greater difficulty in receiving shareholder communications than they would have with a sponsored ADR.

Illiquid Securities. The Fund may invest up to 15% of its net assets in illiquid securities. Not readily marketable, illiquid securities include restricted securities and repurchase obligations maturing in more than seven days. Certain restricted securities that may be resold to institutional investors under Rule 144A under the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 4(2) commercial paper may be deemed liquid under guidelines adopted by the Board of Trustees. The absence of a trading market can make it difficult to ascertain a market value for illiquid or restricted securities. Disposing of illiquid or restricted securities may involve time-consuming negotiations and legal expenses, and it may be difficult or impossible for a Fund to sell them promptly at an acceptable price.

The Fund’s Board has adopted liquidity determination procedures (“Liquidity Procedures”) for the Fund that delegate the responsibility for determining the liquidity status of all securities and other instruments held by the Fund to the Fund’s investment adviser consistent with applicable guidance. The Liquidity Procedures provide for active monitoring of portfolio liquidity by the Fund’s investment adviser with quarterly reporting to the Board.

Convertible Securities. While convertible securities purchased by the Fund are frequently rated investment grade, the Fund also may purchase unrated convertible securities or convertible securities rated below investment grade if the securities meet the Adviser’s other investment criteria. The Fund does not currently intend to invest more than 5% of its total assets in below investment grade convertible securities. Convertible securities rated below investment grade (a) tend to be more sensitive to interest rate and economic changes, (b) may be obligations of issuers who are less creditworthy than issuers of higher quality convertible securities, and (c) may be more thinly traded due to such securities being less well known to investors than either common stock or conventional debt securities. As a result, the Adviser’s own investment research and analysis tends to be more important in the purchase of such securities than other factors.

Debt Securities Risks. The Fund may invest up to 20% of its total assets in nonconvertible debt securities. Investments in such debt securities are limited to those that are rated within the four highest grades (generally referred to as “investment grade”) assigned by a nationally or internationally recognized statistical rating organization. Investments in unrated debt securities are limited to those deemed to be of comparable quality as analyzed by the Adviser under its own procedures. Securities in the fourth-highest grade may possess speculative characteristics. If the rating of a security held by the Fund is lost or reduced below investment grade, the Fund is not required to dispose of the security. The Adviser will, however, consider that fact in determining whether the Fund should continue to hold the security. The risks inherent in a debt security depend primarily on its term and quality, as well as on market conditions. A decline in the prevailing levels of interest rates generally increases the value of debt securities. Conversely, an increase in rates usually reduces the value of debt securities.

Debt securities may be subject to credit risk, interest rate risk, prepayment and extension risk as well as call risk. Credit risk is the failure of an issuer or borrower to make timely interest or principal payments, or a decline or perception of a decline in the credit quality of a bond or creditworthiness of a borrower, which can cause the security’s price to fall, potentially lowering the Fund’s share price. Prices of bonds tend to move inversely with changes in interest rates. Typically, a rise in rates will adversely affect bond prices and, accordingly, the Fund’s share price. The longer a debt security’s effective maturity and duration, the more its price is likely to react to interest rates. Interest rate changes normally have different effects on variable or floating rate securities than they do on securities with fixed interest rates. When interest rates fall, debt securities may be repaid more quickly than expected and the Fund may be required to reinvest the proceeds at a lower interest rate. This is referred to as “prepayment risk.” When interest rates rise, debt securities may be repaid more slowly than expected and the value of the Fund’s holdings may fall sharply. This is referred to as “extension risk.” If an issuer “calls” its bond before its maturity date during a time of declining interest rates, the Fund might have to reinvest the proceeds in an investment offering a lower yield.

Repurchase Agreements. The Fund may invest in repurchase agreements, provided that it will not invest more than 15% of its net assets in repurchase agreements maturing in more than seven days and any other illiquid securities. A repurchase agreement involves the sale of securities to the Fund, with the concurrent agreement of the seller to repurchase the securities at the same price plus an amount representing interest at an agreed-upon interest rate within a specified period of time, usually less than one week, but, on occasion, at a later time. Repurchase agreements entered into by the Fund will be fully collateralized and will be marked-to-market daily. In the event of a bankruptcy or other default of a seller of a repurchase agreement, the Fund could experience both delays in liquidating the underlying securities and losses, including: (a) possible decline in the value of the collateral during the period while the Fund seeks to enforce its rights thereto; (b) possible subnormal levels of income and lack of access to income during this period; and (c) expenses of enforcing its rights.

When-Issued and Delayed-Delivery Securities; Reverse Repurchase Agreements. The Fund may purchase or sell securities on a when-issued or delayed-delivery basis. Although the payment and interest terms of these securities are established at the time the Fund enters into the commitment, the securities may be delivered and paid for a month or more after the date of purchase, when their value may have changed. The Fund makes such purchase commitments only with the intention of actually acquiring the securities, but may sell the securities before the settlement date if the Adviser deems it advisable for investment reasons. The Fund may utilize spot and forward foreign currency exchange transactions to reduce the risk inherent in fluctuations in the exchange rate between one currency and another when securities are purchased or sold on a when-issued or delayed-delivery basis.

The Fund may enter into reverse repurchase agreements with banks and securities dealers. A reverse repurchase agreement is a repurchase agreement in which the Fund is the seller of, rather than the investor in, securities and agrees to repurchase them at an agreed-upon time and price. Use of a reverse repurchase agreement may be preferable to a regular sale and later repurchase of securities because it avoids certain market risks and transaction costs.

At the time the Fund enters into a binding obligation to purchase securities on a when-issued basis or enters into a reverse repurchase agreement, liquid assets (cash, U.S. government securities or other “high-grade” debt obligations) of the Fund having a value at least as great as the purchase price of the securities to be purchased will be earmarked or segregated on the books of the Fund and held by the custodian throughout the period of the obligation. The use of these investment strategies, as well as borrowing under a line of credit, may increase net asset value fluctuation.

Lending Portfolio Securities. The Fund may lend its portfolio securities to broker-dealers and banks, provided that it may not lend securities if, as a result, the aggregate value of all securities loaned would exceed 33 1/3% of its total assets. Any such loan must be continuously secured by collateral (cash or U.S. government securities). In the event of bankruptcy or other default of the borrower, the Fund could experience delays in both liquidating the loan collateral and recovering the loaned securities and losses.

Disclosure of Portfolio Holdings. A description of the Fund’s policies and procedures with respect to the disclosure of the Fund’s portfolio securities is available in the SAI. The Fund’s portfolio holdings information is available at www.driehaus.com.

Management of the Fund

 

 

 

Trustees and Adviser. The Board of Trustees of the Trust has overall management responsibility. See the SAI for the names of and additional information about the Trustees and officers. The Adviser, Driehaus Capital Management LLC, 25 East Erie Street, Chicago, Illinois 60611, is responsible for providing investment advisory and management services to the Fund, subject to the direction of the Board of Trustees. The Adviser is registered as an investment adviser under the Investment Advisers Act of 1940, as amended. The Adviser was organized in 1982 and as of June 30, 2017, managed approximately $8.8 billion in assets.

The Fund will pay the Adviser an annual investment management fee on a monthly basis as follows:

 

Fund

   As a percentage of
average daily net assets
 

Driehaus Small Cap Growth Fund

     0.60 %1 

 

1     The Adviser has entered into a contractual agreement to waive a portion of its management fee and to reimburse operating expenses to the extent necessary to cap the Fund’s ordinary annual operating expenses (excluding interest, taxes, brokerage commissions, and other investment-related costs, acquired fund fees and expenses and extraordinary expenses, such as litigation and other expenses not incurred in the ordinary course of the Fund’s business) at 1.20% of average daily net assets for the Investor Class and 0.95% of average daily net assets for the Institutional Class until the earlier of the termination of the investment advisory agreement or August 20, 2020. Pursuant to this agreement, and so long as the investment advisory agreement is in place, for a period of three years subsequent to the Fund’s commencement of operations on August 21, 2017, the Adviser is entitled to reimbursement for previously waived fees and reimbursed expenses to the extent that the Fund’s expense ratio remains below the operating expense cap that was in place at the time of the waiver. Because of this agreement, the Fund may pay the Adviser less than the contractual management fee.

Disclosure relating to the material factors and the conclusions with respect to those factors that formed the basis for the Board of Trustees’ approval of the investment advisory agreement for the Fund may be reviewed in the Fund’s annual report to shareholders for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2017. Shareholder reports may be obtained by calling 1-800-560-6111, or by visiting www.driehaus.com or the SEC’s web site at www.sec.gov.

The Fund enters into contractual arrangements with various parties, including, among others, the Fund’s investment adviser, who provide services to the Fund. Shareholders are not parties to, or intended (or “third-party”) beneficiaries of those contractual arrangements.

Shareholder Information

 

 

 

Net Asset Value

The Fund’s net asset value is determined as of the close of the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) (normally 3:00 p.m., Central time) on each day the NYSE is open for trading. Purchases and redemptions are made at the Fund’s net asset value per share next calculated after receipt of your purchase or redemption order in good form. Net asset value per share of each class is determined by dividing the value of the Fund’s assets attributable to that class, less its liabilities attributable to that class, by the number of outstanding shares of that class of the Fund. The Fund’s holdings are typically valued using readily available market quotations provided by an independent pricing service. Securities may be valued by the Adviser’s Pricing Committee using methods approved by the Board of Trustees when securities cannot be priced through a readily available market quotation provided by a pricing service and no broker-dealer quotations are available or are determined not to be reasonable.

Financial Intermediaries and Shareholder Servicing

Financial institutions that enter into a sales agreement with DS LLC or the Trust (“Intermediaries”) may accept purchase and redemption orders on behalf of the Fund. If communicated in accordance with the terms of the sales agreement, a purchase or redemption order will be deemed to have been received by the Fund when the Intermediary accepts the order. In certain instances, an Intermediary may designate other third-party financial institutions (“Sub-Designees”) to receive orders from their customers on the Fund’s behalf. The Intermediary is liable to the Fund for its compliance with the terms of the sales agreement and the compliance of each Sub-Designee. All orders will be priced at the Fund’s net asset value next computed after they are accepted by the Intermediary or Sub-Designee, provided that such orders are communicated in accordance with the terms of the applicable sales agreement.

Certain Intermediaries may enter purchase orders on behalf of their customers by telephone, with payments to follow within several days as specified in their sales agreement. Such purchase orders will be effected at the net asset value next determined after receipt of the telephone purchase order. It is the responsibility of the Intermediary to place the order on a timely basis. If payment is not received within the time specified in the agreement, the Intermediary could be held liable for any fees or losses resulting from the cancellation of the order.

An investor transacting in Fund shares may be required to pay their Intermediary a commission for executing such transactions.

Some Intermediaries charge a fee for shareholder administrative and/or sub-transfer agency services that they provide to Fund shareholders on the Fund’s behalf. These services may include recordkeeping, transaction processing for shareholders’ accounts and other services. This fee may be based on the number of accounts or may be a percentage, currently up to 0.40% annually for Investor shares, of the average value of accounts for which the Intermediary provides services. The Investor shares of the Fund pays all or a portion of this fee at an annual rate of up to 0.25% of the Investor class average daily net assets, which is intended to compensate the Intermediary for its provision of services of the type that would be provided by the Funds’ transfer agent or other service providers if the shares were registered on the books of the Fund. These shareholder services fees are reflected in the “Other Expenses” line that appears in the Fund’s fee table in the Fund Summary section.

DS LLC makes payments, and the Adviser reimburses DS LLC for such payments, out of its own resources to Intermediaries for providing shareholder servicing or distribution related activities. The Fund’s Investor shares may reimburse DS LLC for payments it makes to Intermediaries for shareholder services at a rate not to exceed 0.25% of the Fund’s Investor class average daily net assets. No payments are made by the Fund for distribution related activities of the Fund.

Institutional and fiduciary account holders, such as corporations, custodians, executors, administrators, trustees or guardians, must submit, with each request, a completed certificate of authorization in a form of resolution acceptable to the Funds. The request must include other supporting legal documents as required from organizations, executors, administrators, trustees or others acting on accounts not registered in their names. For more information, please contact Shareholder Services at 1-800-560-6111.

Cancellation. A shareholder may not cancel or revoke a redemption order once instructions have been received and accepted. The Funds cannot accept a redemption request that specifies a particular date or price for redemption or any special conditions.

Redemptions by the Fund. The Fund reserves the right to redeem shares in any account and send the proceeds to the owner if, immediately after a redemption, the shares in the account do not have the Minimum Account Value as shown below:

 

Class

   Minimum
Account Value
     Minimum IRA
Account Value
 

Investor

   $ 5,000      $ 1,500  

Institutional

   $ 250,000      $ 250,000  

A shareholder would be notified that the account is below the minimum and would have 30 days to increase the account before the account is redeemed. For Institutional Shares purchased directly from the Fund, the Fund reserves the right to automatically convert Institutional Shares in your account to Investor Shares rather than redeem those shares if your account falls below $250,000. The Fund would notify you if it intends to convert your shares and you would have 30 days to increase the account before the shares are converted. If your shares are converted, the conversion will have no effect on the value of your investment in Institutional Shares of the Fund at the time of conversion. However, the number of shares you own after the conversion may be greater or less than the number of shares you owned before the conversion, depending on the net asset value of the Investor share class compared to the Institutional share class. Shareholders generally will not recognize gain or loss for federal income tax purposes on the conversion of their Institutional Shares to Investor Shares of the Fund.

In-Kind Redemptions. The Fund generally intends to pay all redemptions in cash. However, the Fund may elect to pay you for shares you sell by “redeeming in kind,” that is, by giving you marketable securities, if your requests over a 90-day period total more than $250,000 or 1% of the net assets of the Fund, whichever is less, during normal and stressed market conditions. An in-kind redemption is taxable for federal income tax purposes in the same manner as a redemption for cash.

Execution of Requests. If an order is placed prior to the close of regular trading on the NYSE (normally 3:00 p.m., Central time) on any business day, the purchase of shares is executed at the net asset value determined as of the closing time that day. If the order is placed after that time, it will be effected on the next business day.

A redemption order will be executed at the price which is the net asset value determined after proper redemption instructions are received, minus the redemption fee, if applicable. The redemption price received depends upon the Fund’s net asset value per share at the time of redemption and any applicable redemption fee. Therefore, it may be more or less than the price originally paid for the shares and may result in a realized capital gain or loss for federal income tax purposes.

Table of Contents

The Fund will deduct a redemption fee of 2.00% from the redemption amount for shareholders who sell their shares within 60 days of purchase. This fee is paid to the Fund and is designed to offset the commission costs, market impact costs, tax consequences to the Fund, and other costs associated with fluctuations in Fund asset levels and cash flow caused by short-term shareholder trading. Redemption fees may be waived in certain circumstances (see “Policies and Procedures Regarding Frequent Purchases and Redemptions” below).

For shareholders who purchased shares on different days, the shares held the longest will be redeemed first for purposes of determining whether the redemption fee applies. The redemption fee does not apply to shares that were acquired through reinvestment of distributions.

The Funds typically expects to pay redemption proceeds, less any applicable fees (including redemption fees), as follows:

 

1) PAYMENT BY CHECK — Normally mailed within seven days of redemption to the address of record.

 

2) PAYMENT BY WIRE — Normally sent via the Federal Wire System on the next business day after redemption ($15 wire fee applies) to your pre-designated bank account.

 

3) PAYMENT BY ACH — Normally sent by ACH on or about the date of your redemption to your pre-designated bank account. Please consult your financial institution for additional information.

If it is in the best interest of the Fund to do so, the Fund may take up to seven days to pay proceeds from shares redeemed. The redemption price will be determined as of the time proper redemption instructions are received, in the manner described above, even if the Fund delays payment of the proceeds. For payments sent by wire or ACH, the Fund is not responsible for the efficiency of the federal wire or ACH systems or the shareholder’s financial services firm or bank. The shareholder is responsible for any charges imposed by the shareholder’s financial services firm or bank. Payment for shares redeemed within 10 business days after purchase by personal check or 5 business days after purchase by ACH will be delayed until the applicable escrow period has expired. Shares purchased by certified check or wire are not subject to the escrow period.

The Fund typically expects to effect sales of portfolio assets and use cash or cash equivalents to meet its redemption requests. In normal and stressed market conditions, the Fund may also access amounts available to it under its line of credit to meet redemption requests, if necessary, and the Fund may effect an “in-kind redemption” under the circumstances described above. The Fund may use redemption fees to help mitigate dilution and address transaction costs associated with shareholder activity.

Policies and Procedures Regarding Frequent Purchases and Redemptions

Frequent and short-term trading in shares of the Fund, known as “market timing,” can harm long-term Fund shareholders. Such short-term trading activity can result in increased costs to the Fund for buying and selling portfolio securities and also can disrupt portfolio management strategies when the Fund needs to maintain cash or liquidate portfolio holdings to meet redemptions. The Fund may be particularly susceptible to risks of short-term trading because it invests in foreign securities. Time zone differences among international stock markets may motivate investors to attempt to exploit the use of prices based on closing prices of foreign securities exchanges (“time zone arbitrage”). The Fund’s valuation procedures seek to minimize investors’ ability to engage in time zone arbitrage in the Fund. See “Net Asset Value” above.

The Trust’s Board of Trustees has adopted policies and procedures in an effort to discourage and prevent market timing, which do not accommodate frequent purchases and redemptions of shares. The Trust imposes a 2% redemption fee on redemptions (including exchanges) of Fund shares made within 60 days of their purchase. This redemption fee was imposed to reduce the impact of costs resulting from short-term trading and to deter market timing activity. The Fund waives the redemption fee in certain circumstances, including for certain retirement plan investors, for certain omnibus accounts when the Intermediary collects the fee at the sub-account level and remits it to the Fund, for investors in certain wrap programs and otherwise, at the Fund’s discretion. The Fund reserves the right to modify or terminate these waivers at any time.

The Fund’s Adviser receives trading activity information from the Transfer Agent and monitors Fund inflows and outflows for suspected market timing activity using certain activity thresholds. The Adviser monitors the trading activity of direct shareholders and trading activity through Intermediaries, as well as instances in which the Fund

 

19


Table of Contents

receives a redemption fee from a direct shareholder or Intermediary account. This monitoring may result in the Fund’s rejection or cancellation of future purchase or exchange transactions in that shareholder’s account(s) without prior notice to the shareholder. Under current procedures, such rejection or cancellation would occur within one business day after the Adviser identifies the suspected market timing activity. The Fund also may limit the number of exchanges a shareholder can make between the Fund and other series of the Trust.

Shares of the Fund may be purchased directly from the Fund (through the Transfer Agent) or through omnibus arrangements with broker-dealers or other Intermediaries that aggregate shareholder transactions. The Fund does not know the identity of the beneficial owners of many of the accounts opened through Intermediaries and consequently rely on the Intermediaries to comply with the Fund’s policies and procedures on frequent purchases and redemptions. In some instances, the Fund allows an Intermediary to impose frequent trading restrictions that differ from those of the Fund. Investors who purchase shares through an Intermediary should review any disclosures provided by the Intermediary with which they have an account to determine what frequent trading restrictions may apply to their account. The Fund may direct any Intermediary to block any shareholder account from future trading in the Fund if market timing is suspected or discovered.

Shareholders seeking to engage in market timing activities may use a variety of strategies to avoid detection and, despite the efforts of the Fund to prevent such trading, there is no guarantee that the Fund or Intermediaries will be able to identify these shareholders or curtail their market timing activity.

Shareholder Services and Policies

Exchanging Shares. Any shares of the Fund that you have held for the applicable escrow period may be exchanged for shares of any other Driehaus Mutual Fund in an identically registered account, provided the Fund(s) has (have) the same transfer agent, is (are) available for purchase, the Fund(s) to be acquired is (are) registered for sale in your state of residence and you have met the minimum initial investment requirements. Procedures applicable to the purchase and redemption of the Fund’s shares are also applicable to exchanging shares, including the prices that you receive and pay for the shares you exchange. You will automatically have the ability to exchange shares of any Driehaus Mutual Fund, subject to the qualifications noted above, by telephone unless you indicate on your application that you do not want this privilege. The Fund reserves the right to limit the number of exchanges between Funds and to reject any exchange order. The Fund reserves the right to modify or discontinue the exchange privilege at any time upon 60 days’ written notice. For federal income tax purposes, an exchange is treated the same as a sale and you may recognize a capital gain or loss upon an exchange, depending upon the cost or other basis of the shares exchanged. The 2.00% redemption fee also applies to shareholders who exchange their shares for any other Driehaus Mutual Fund shares within 60 days of purchase.

You may also exchange shares of the Fund for a different class of shares offered by the Fund, provided that you meet the eligibility requirements for that class, including the minimum investment requirements. For federal income tax purposes, an exchange of shares of the Fund directly for shares of a different class of the Fund generally will not result in recognition of a gain or loss by the exchanging shareholder.

Medallion Signature Guarantees. A medallion signature guarantee assures that a signature is genuine and protects shareholders from unauthorized account activity. In addition to certain signature requirements, a medallion signature guarantee is required in any of the following circumstances:

 

    A redemption request is over $100,000.

 

    A redemption check is to be made payable to anyone other than the shareholder(s) of record or the name has been changed within 30 days of the request.

 

    A redemption check is to be mailed to an address other than the address of record or the address has been changed within 30 days of the request.

 

    A redemption amount is to be wired to a bank other than one previously authorized.

 

    To add or change bank information for wire or ACH transactions on an existing account.

At the Fund’s discretion, medallion signature guarantees also may be required for other transactions or changes to your account. A medallion signature guarantee may be obtained from a domestic bank or trust company, broker, dealer, clearing agency or savings association who is a participant in a medallion program recognized by the Securities

 

20


Table of Contents

Transfer Association. The three recognized medallion programs are the Securities Transfer Agents Medallion Program (STAMP), the Stock Exchanges Medallion Program (SEMP), and the New York Stock Exchange, Inc. Medallion Signature Program (MSP). Signature guarantees which are not part of these programs will not be accepted.

Telephone Transactions. Shareholders will automatically have telephone redemption by check and exchange privileges unless they indicate on their account application that they do not want these privileges. Shareholders may initially purchase shares by telephone via bank wire. Shareholders engaging in telephone transactions should be aware of the risks associated with these types of transactions as compared to written requests. Although the Fund employs reasonable procedures to confirm that instructions received by telephone are genuine, a shareholder authorizing a transaction by telephone bears the risk of any resulting losses, unless the Fund or its service providers fail to employ these measures. In such cases, the Fund or its service providers may be liable for losses arising from unauthorized or fraudulent instructions. In addition, the Fund reserves the right to record all telephone conversations. Confirmation statements for telephone transactions should be reviewed for accuracy immediately upon receipt by the shareholder.

Delivery of Written Requests. Neither the U.S. Postal Service nor other independent delivery services are agents of the Fund. Therefore, deposits in the mail or with such services or receipt at the Fund’s post office box of purchase orders and redemption requests do not constitute receipt by the Transfer Agent.

Unusual Circumstances. During times of unusual economic or market changes, telephone redemption and exchange privileges may be difficult to implement. In addition, in unusual circumstances, the Fund may temporarily suspend the processing of redemption requests, or may postpone payment of proceeds for up to seven days or longer as allowed by federal securities laws. In the event that you are unable to reach the Fund by telephone, requests may be mailed to the Fund at the address listed in “How to Redeem Shares.”

A Note on Mailing Procedures. In order to provide greater convenience to our shareholders and cost savings to the Fund by reducing the number of duplicate shareholder mailings, only one copy of most proxy statements, financial reports and prospectuses will be mailed to households, even if more than one person in a household holds shares of the Fund. Separate shareholder statements will continue to be mailed for each Fund account. If you want additional copies or do not want your mailings to be “householded,” please call Shareholder Services at 1-800-560-6111 or write to Driehaus Mutual Funds, P.O. Box 9817, Providence, RI 02940.

Dividend Policies

Reinvestment of Distributions. Dividends and distributions payable by the Fund are automatically reinvested in additional shares of the Fund unless the investor indicates otherwise on the application or subsequently notifies the Fund, in writing, of the desire to not have dividends automatically reinvested. Reinvested dividends and distributions are treated the same for federal income tax purposes as dividends and distributions received in cash. If the U.S. Postal Service cannot deliver your check or if your check remains uncashed for six months, the Fund reserves the right to reinvest your distribution check in your account at the net asset value on the day of the reinvestment and to reinvest all subsequent distributions in shares of the Fund. Interest will not accrue on amounts represented by uncashed distribution or redemption checks.

Distributions and Taxes

Payment of Dividends and Other Distributions. The Fund pays its shareholders dividends from its investment company taxable income (determined without regard to the deduction for dividends paid), and distributions from any realized net capital gains (i.e., the excess of net long-term capital gains over the sum of net short-term capital losses and capital loss carryforwards available from prior years). Dividends and distributions are generally paid once a year. The Fund intends to distribute at least 98% of any ordinary income for the calendar year (not taking into account any capital gains or losses), plus 98.2% of capital gain net income realized during the 12-month period ended October 31 in that year, if any. The Fund intends to distribute any undistributed ordinary income and capital gain net income in the following year. Because the Fund succeeded to the tax basis of the assets of the predecessor limited partnerships, shareholders should be aware that, as portfolio securities that were received from the limited partnerships are sold, any capital gain that existed at the time the Fund acquired the securities from the limited partnerships, along with any appreciation that occurred while the Fund held the securities, may be recognized by the Fund, and such recognized gain, if any, will be distributed to Fund shareholders as dividends or distributions and will be taxable to them for federal income tax purposes.

Table of Contents

Federal Income Tax Status of Dividends and Other Distributions. Distributions by the Fund of investment company taxable income (determined without regard to the deduction for dividends paid) are generally subject to federal income tax at ordinary income tax rates. However, a portion of such distributions that were derived from certain corporate dividends may qualify for either the 70% dividends received deduction available to corporate shareholders under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), or the reduced rates of federal income taxation for “qualified dividend income” currently available to individual and other noncorporate shareholders under the Code, provided certain holding period and other requirements are satisfied. However, dividends received by the Fund from foreign corporations are not expected to qualify for the dividends received deduction and dividends received from certain foreign corporations may not qualify for treatment as qualified dividend income. Distributions of net capital gains, if any, are generally taxable as long-term capital gains for federal income tax purposes regardless of how long a shareholder has held shares of the Fund. The U.S. federal income tax status of all distributions will be designated by the Fund and reported to its shareholders annually. Distributions are taxable in the year they are paid, whether they are taken in cash or reinvested in additional shares, except that certain distributions declared to shareholders of record in the last three months of the calendar year and paid in the following January are taxable as if paid on December 31 of the year declared.

Taxability of Distributions to Individuals and Other Noncorporate Shareholders

(taxable years beginning in 2017)

 

Type of Distribution

 

Federal Income Tax Rate
for 15% Bracket or lower

 

Federal Income Tax Rate
for 25%, 28%, 33%
and 35% Bracket

 

Federal Income Tax Rate
for 39.6% Bracket

Income Dividends

  ordinary income rate   ordinary income rate   ordinary income rate

Short-term Capital Gains

  ordinary income rate   ordinary income rate   ordinary income rate

Long-term Capital Gains

  0%   15%   20%

Qualified Dividend Income

  0%   15%   20%

In addition, an additional 3.8% Medicare tax is imposed on certain net investment income (including dividends and capital gain distributions received from the Fund and net gains from redemptions or other taxable dispositions of Fund shares) of U.S. individuals, estates and trusts to the extent that such person’s “modified adjusted gross income” (in the case of an individual) or “adjusted gross income” (in the case of an estate or trust) exceeds a threshold amount.

Investment income received by the Fund from sources within foreign countries may be subject to foreign income taxes withheld at the source. The U.S. has entered into tax treaties with many foreign countries that generally entitle the Fund to a reduced rate of tax or exemption from tax on such income. It is impossible to determine the effective rate of foreign tax in advance since the amount of the Fund’s assets to be invested within various countries will fluctuate and the extent to which tax refunds will be recovered is uncertain. The Fund intends to operate so as to qualify for treaty-reduced tax rates where applicable. The Fund does not expect to qualify to make an election to “pass through” to the Fund’s shareholders foreign income taxes paid by the Fund. As a result, the foreign taxes paid by the Fund will reduce the Fund’s net investment income. In addition, shareholders will not be able to claim either a credit or a deduction for their pro rata portion of such taxes paid by the Fund, nor will shareholders be required to treat as part of the amounts distributed to them their pro rata portion of such taxes paid.

Buying a Distribution. If you buy shares before the Fund deducts a distribution from its net asset value, you will pay the full price for the shares and then receive a portion of the price back in the form of a distribution, which may be subject to federal income tax as described above. In addition, the Fund’s share price may, at any time, reflect undistributed capital gains or income and unrealized appreciation, which may result in future taxable distributions. Such distributions can occur even in a year when the Fund has a negative return.

Redemption of Fund Shares. Unless a shareholder is a tax-exempt investor or investing through a tax-advantaged account, a redemption or exchange of Fund shares is generally considered a taxable event for federal income tax purposes. Depending on the purchase price and the sale price of the shares redeemed or exchanged, the shareholder may have a gain or loss on the transaction. The gain or loss will generally be treated as a long-term capital gain or loss if the shareholder held the shares for more than one year. If the shareholder held the shares for one year or less, the

 

22


Table of Contents

gain or loss will generally be treated as a short-term capital gain or loss. Short-term capital gain is taxable at ordinary income tax rates for federal income tax purposes. Shareholders may be limited in their ability to utilize capital losses. Any loss realized on sales or exchanges of Fund shares held six months or less will be treated as a long-term capital loss to the extent of any long-term capital gain distributions received by the shareholder with respect to such shares. For federal income tax purposes, an exchange of shares of the Fund directly for shares of a different class of the Fund generally will not result in recognition of a gain or loss by the exchanging shareholder.

Backup Withholding. The Fund may be required to withhold federal income tax (“backup withholding”) at a 28% rate from dividends, distributions and redemption proceeds paid to certain shareholders. Backup withholding may be required if:

 

    An investor fails to furnish the Fund with the investor’s properly certified social security or other taxpayer identification number;

 

    An investor fails to properly certify that the investor’s taxpayer identification number is correct or that the investor is not subject to backup withholding due to the underreporting of certain income; or

 

    The Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) informs the Fund that the investor’s taxpayer identification number is incorrect or that the investor is subject to backup withholding.

Cost Basis Reporting. The Fund is required to report to the IRS, and to furnish to Fund shareholders, detailed cost basis and holding period information for Fund shares acquired on or after January 1, 2012 (“covered shares”), that are redeemed on or after that date. These requirements do not apply to investments through a tax-advantaged arrangement, such as a 401(k) or an IRA. If you redeem covered shares during any year, the Fund will report the following information to the IRS and to you on Form 1099-B: (i) the cost basis of such shares, (ii) the gross proceeds you received on the redemption, and (iii) the holding period for the redeemed shares. The Fund’s default method for calculating the cost basis of covered shares is the average cost basis. You should contact your tax or other advisor about the application of the cost basis reporting rules to you, particularly whether you should elect a cost basis calculation method other than the default average cost basis. If you wish to change your cost basis methodology, please see the Cost Basis Election Form at www.driehaus.com or call 1-800-560-6111. If you hold your Fund shares through a financial intermediary, please contact your representative regarding the reporting of cost basis and available elections for your account.

Taxation of Non-U.S. Shareholders. Non-U.S. shareholders, including shareholders who, with respect to the U.S., are nonresident aliens, may be subject to U.S. withholding tax on certain distributions at a rate of 30% or such lower rates as may be prescribed by an applicable treaty.

Certifications of federal income tax status are contained in the account application that should be completed and returned when opening an account. The Fund must promptly pay to the IRS all amounts withheld. Therefore, it is usually not possible for the Fund to reimburse a shareholder for amounts withheld. A shareholder may, however, claim the amount withheld as a credit on the shareholder’s federal income tax return, provided certain information is provided to the IRS.

The foregoing discussion of U.S. federal income taxation is only a general summary as of July 31, 2017. It is not intended to be a full discussion of all federal income tax laws and their effect on shareholders. Shareholders should consult their tax advisors as to the federal, state, local and foreign tax consequences of ownership of any Fund shares before making an investment in the Fund.

GENERAL INFORMATION AND HISTORY

Driehaus Small Cap Growth Fund (the “Fund”) is a series of Driehaus Mutual Funds (the “Trust”), an open-end management investment company. Driehaus Capital Management LLC (“DCM” or the “Adviser”) provides management and investment advisory services to the Fund. The Trust is a Delaware statutory trust organized under an Agreement and Declaration of Trust (“Declaration of Trust”) dated May 31, 1996, as subsequently amended and restated as of June 6, 2013, and as of the date of this SAI has ten series, including the Fund. The Trust or the Fund may be terminated (i) by the affirmative vote of at least two-thirds of the outstanding shares of the Trust (or Fund) at any meeting of shareholders, or (ii) by an instrument in writing, without a meeting, signed by a majority of the Trustees and consented to by at least two-thirds of the outstanding shares, or (iii) by the Trustees by written notice to shareholders. The Trust may issue an unlimited number of shares, in one or more series or classes as its Board of Trustees (the “Board”) may authorize. The Fund commenced operations on December 31, 1997.

The Fund offers two classes of shares: Investor Shares and Institutional Shares. The classes of the Fund pay pro rata the costs of management of the Fund’s portfolio, including the advisory fee. Each class of the Fund bears the cost of its own transfer agency and shareholder servicing arrangements, and any other class-specific expenses, which may result in differing expenses by class. Because of the different expenses, the Institutional Shares of the Fund generally may have a lower expense ratio and correspondingly higher total return than the Investor Shares.

Each share of the Fund is entitled to participate pro rata in any dividends and other distributions declared by the Board with respect to the applicable class of shares, and all shares of a class have equal rights to the residual assets of that class in the event of liquidation of the Fund.

As a Delaware statutory trust, the Trust is not required to hold annual shareholder meetings. However, special meetings may be called for purposes such as electing or removing Trustees, changing fundamental policies, or approving an investment advisory contract. If requested to do so by the holders of at least 10% of the Trust’s outstanding shares, the Trust will call a special meeting for the purpose of voting upon the question of removal of a Trustee or Trustees and will assist in the communication with other shareholders as if the Trust were subject to Section 16(c) of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”). All shares of all series of the Trust are voted together in the election of Trustees. On any other matter submitted to a vote of shareholders, shares are voted in the aggregate and not by an individual Fund, except that shares are voted by an individual Fund or an individual class of a Fund when required by the 1940 Act or other applicable law, or when the Board determines that the matter affects only the interests of one Fund or one class of a Fund, in which case shareholders of the unaffected Funds or class are not entitled to vote on such matters.

The Fund expects to commence operations on August 21, 2017 after succeeding to the assets of Driehaus Institutional Small Cap, L.P., Driehaus Small Cap Investors, L.P., Driehaus Institutional Small Cap Recovery Fund, L.P. and Driehaus Small Cap Recovery Fund, L.P. (the “Predecessor Limited Partnerships”).

Forum for Adjudication of Disputes. The Trust’s Amended and Restated By-Laws (the “By-Laws”) provide that, unless the Trust consents in writing to the selection of an alternative forum, the sole and exclusive forum for (i) any derivative action or proceeding brought on behalf of the Trust, (ii) any action asserting a claim of breach of a fiduciary duty owed by any Trustee, officer or other employee of the Trust to the Trust or the Trust’s shareholders, (iii) any action asserting a claim arising pursuant to any provision of the Delaware Statutory Trust Act (the “Delaware Act”) or the Declaration of Trust or these By-Laws, (iv) any action to interpret, apply, enforce or determine the validity of the Declaration of Trust or these By-Laws or (v) any action asserting a claim governed by the internal affairs doctrine shall be either (a) the U.S. District Court for the District of Delaware or the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware, or, if the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware does not have jurisdiction, the Superior

Table of Contents

Court of the State of Delaware; or (b) the U.S. District Court for the District of Illinois or the Circuit Court of the State of Illinois (each, a “Covered Action”). The By-Laws further provide that if any Covered Action is filed in a court other than either (a) the U.S. District Court for the District of Delaware or the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware or the Superior Court of the State of Delaware; or (b) the U.S. District Court for the District of Illinois or the Circuit Court of the State of Illinois (a “Foreign Action”) in the name of any shareholder, such shareholder shall be deemed to have consented to (i) the personal jurisdiction of the U.S. District Court for the District of Delaware or the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware and the Superior Court of the State of Delaware or (ii) the U.S. District Court for the District of Illinois or the Circuit Court of the State of Illinois in connection with any action brought in any such courts to enforce the preceding sentence (an “Enforcement Action”) and (ii) having service of process made upon such shareholder in any such Enforcement Action by service upon such shareholder’s counsel in the Foreign Action as agent for such shareholder.

The By-Laws provide that any person purchasing or otherwise acquiring or holding any interest in shares of beneficial interest of the Trust shall be (i) deemed to have notice of and consented to the provisions of the foregoing paragraph and (ii) deemed to have waived any argument relating to the inconvenience of the forums referenced above in connection with any action or proceeding described in the foregoing paragraph.

This forum selection provision may limit a shareholder’s ability to bring a claim in a judicial forum that it finds favorable for disputes with Trustees, officers or other agents of the Trust and its service providers, which may discourage such lawsuits with respect to such claims. If a court were to find the forum selection provision contained in the By-Laws to be inapplicable or unenforceable in an action, the Trust may incur additional costs associated with resolving such action in other jurisdictions.

PORTFOLIO INVESTMENTS AND RISK CONSIDERATIONS

General Investment Risks

As with all investments, at any given time the value of your shares in the Fund may be worth more or less than the price you paid. The value of your shares depends on the value of the individual securities owned by the Fund which will go up and down depending on the performance of the company that issued the security, general market and economic conditions, and investor confidence. In addition, the market for securities generally rises and falls over time, usually in cycles. During any particular cycle, an investment style may be in or out of favor. If the market is not favoring the Fund’s style, the Fund’s gains may not be as big as, or its losses may be larger than, those of other equity funds using different investment styles.

Cyber Security Risk

With the increased use of technologies such as the Internet and the use of electronic data, the Fund and its third-party service providers are susceptible to operational and information security risks. In general, cyber incidents can result from deliberate attacks or unintentional events. Cyber attacks include, but are not limited to, gaining unauthorized access to digital systems for purposes of misappropriating assets or sensitive information, corrupting data, or causing operational disruption. Cyber attacks may also be carried out in a manner that does not require gaining unauthorized access, such as causing denial-of-service attacks on websites. Cyber security failures or breaches of the Fund’s third-party service provider (including, but not limited to, the Adviser, administrator, custodian and transfer agent) or the issuers of securities in which the Fund invests, have the ability to cause disruptions and impact business operations, potentially resulting in financial losses, the inability of Fund shareholders to transact business, violations of applicable privacy and other laws, regulatory fines, penalties, reputational damage, reimbursement or

other compensation costs, and/or additional compliance costs. In addition, substantial costs may be incurred in order to prevent any cyber incidents in the future. The Fund and its shareholders could be negatively impacted as a result. Although the Fund and its service providers have business continuity plans and other safeguards in place, there are inherent limitations in such plans and systems, including the possibility that certain risks have not been identified.

American Depository Receipts

The Fund may purchase foreign securities in the form of American Depositary Receipts (“ADRs”). Positions in these securities are not necessarily denominated in the same currency as the common stocks into which they may be converted. ADRs are receipts typically issued by an American bank or trust company evidencing ownership of the underlying securities. Generally, ADRs are designed for the U.S. securities markets. The Fund may invest in sponsored or unsponsored ADRs. In the case of an unsponsored ADR, the Fund is likely to bear its proportionate share of the expenses of the depository and it may have greater difficulty in receiving shareholder communications than it would have with a sponsored ADR.

Lending of Portfolio Securities

Subject to restriction (3) under “Investment Restrictions” in this SAI, the Fund may lend its portfolio securities to broker-dealers and banks. Any such loan must be continuously secured by collateral in cash or cash equivalents maintained on a current basis in an amount at least equal to the market value of the securities loaned by the Fund. The Fund would continue to receive the equivalent of the interest or dividends paid by the issuer on the securities loaned, and would also receive an additional return that may be in the form of a fixed fee or a percentage of the collateral. The Fund would have the right to call the loan and obtain the securities loaned at any time on notice of not more than five business days. The Fund would not have the right to vote the securities during the existence of the loan, but would call the loan to permit voting of the securities if, in the Adviser’s judgment, a material event requiring a shareholder vote would otherwise occur before the loan was repaid. In the event of bankruptcy or other default of the borrower, the Fund could experience both delays in liquidating the loan collateral or recovering the loaned securities and losses, including (a) possible decline in the value of the collateral or in the value of the securities loaned during the period while the Fund seeks to enforce its rights thereto, (b) possible subnormal levels of income and lack of access to income during this period, and (c) expenses of enforcing its rights.

Repurchase Agreements

The Fund may invest in repurchase agreements, provided that it will not invest more than 15% of net assets in repurchase agreements maturing in more than seven days as well as any other illiquid securities. A repurchase agreement is a sale of securities to the Fund in which the seller agrees to repurchase the securities at a higher price, which includes an amount representing interest on the purchase price within a specified time. In the event of bankruptcy of the seller, the Fund could experience both losses and delays in liquidating its collateral.

Warrants

The Fund may purchase warrants, which are instruments that give holders the right, but not the obligation, to buy shares of a company at a given price during a specified period. Warrants are generally sold by companies intending to issue stock in the future, or by those seeking to raise cash by selling shares held in reserve.

Table of Contents

Short Sales

The Fund may make short sales “against the box.” In a short sale, the Fund sells a borrowed security and is required to return the identical security to the lender. A short sale “against the box” involves the sale of a security with respect to which the Fund already owns an equivalent security in kind and amount. A short sale “against the box” enables the Fund to obtain the current market price of a security that it desires to sell but is unavailable for settlement.

Rule 144A Securities

The Fund may purchase securities that have been privately placed but are eligible for purchase and sale under Rule 144A under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “1933 Act”). Rule 144A permits certain qualified institutional buyers, such as the Fund, to trade in privately placed securities that have not been registered for sale under the 1933 Act. The Adviser, under the supervision of the Board, will consider whether securities purchased under Rule 144A are illiquid and thus subject to the Fund’s restriction of investing no more than 15% of its net assets in illiquid securities. In determining whether a Rule 144A security is liquid or not, the Adviser will consider the trading markets for the specific security, taking into account the unregistered nature of a Rule 144A security. In addition, the Adviser will consider the (1) frequency of trades and quotes, (2) number of dealers and potential purchasers, (3) dealer undertakings to make a market, and (4) nature of the security and of marketplace trades (e.g., the time needed to dispose of the security, the method of soliciting offers, and the mechanics of transfer). The liquidity of Rule 144A securities will be monitored. Investing in Rule 144A securities could have the effect of increasing the amount of the Fund’s assets invested in illiquid securities if qualified institutional buyers are unwilling to purchase such securities.

Line of Credit

Subject to restriction (4) under “Investment Restrictions” in this SAI, the Trust has established a line of credit with a major bank in order to permit borrowing on a temporary basis to meet share redemption requests in circumstances in which temporary borrowing may be preferable to liquidation of portfolio securities. Currently the line of credit is not available to the Fund.

Portfolio Turnover

Portfolio turnover rate is commonly measured by dividing the lesser of total purchases or sales for the period under consideration by the average portfolio value (i.e., the cumulative total investment in the account at the end of each month, divided by the number of months under consideration).

Derivatives

The U.S. government and foreign governments are in the process of adopting and implementing regulations governing derivatives markets, including mandatory clearing or certain derivatives, margin and reporting requirements. The ultimate impact of the regulations remains unclear. Additional regulation of derivatives may make derivatives more costly, limit their availability or utility, otherwise adversely affect their performance or disrupt markets. In addition, the SEC has proposed a new rule that would change the regulation of the use of derivatives by registered investment companies, such as the Fund. If the proposed rule takes effect, it could limit the ability of mutual funds to invest in derivatives.

Consistent with its objective, the Fund may invest in a broad array of financial instruments and securities, commonly known as derivatives. (For these purposes, forward currency contracts are not considered “derivatives.”) The Fund may enter into conventional exchange-traded and non exchange-traded options, futures contracts, futures options, swaps and similar transactions, such as caps, floors and collars, involving or relating to currencies, securities, interest rates, prices or other items. In each case, the value of the instrument or security is “derived” from the performance of an underlying asset or a “benchmark,” such as a security, an index, an interest rate or a currency.

Table of Contents

Derivatives are most often used to manage investment risk or to create an investment position indirectly because they are more efficient or less costly than direct investment that cannot be readily established directly due to portfolio size, cash availability or other factors. They also may be used in an effort to enhance portfolio returns.

The successful use of derivatives may depend on the Adviser’s ability to correctly forecast changes in the levels and directions of movements in currency exchange rates, security prices, interest rates and other market factors affecting the derivative itself or the value of the underlying asset or benchmark. If the Adviser incorrectly forecasts such factors and has taken positions in derivative instruments contrary to prevailing market trends, the Fund could be exposed to the risk of loss. No assurance can be given that any strategy used will succeed. In addition, correlations in the performance of an underlying asset to a derivative may not be well established. Privately negotiated and over-the-counter derivatives may not be as well regulated and may be less marketable than exchange-traded derivatives.

The Fund may use equity linked certificates/notes/swaps (all derivatives) to further its investment objectives. In buying such derivatives, the Fund could be purchasing bank debt instruments, swaps or certificates that vary in value based on the value of the underlying benchmark security. If the Fund buys such derivative instruments, it is subject to the risk of the inability or refusal to perform of the counterparties to the transaction.

A swap transaction is an individually negotiated, nonstandardized agreement between two parties to exchange cash flows (and sometimes principal amounts) measured by different interest rates, exchange rates, indices or prices, with payments generally calculated by reference to a principal (“notional”) amount or quantity. In general, swaps are agreements pursuant to which the Fund contracts with a bank or a broker/dealer to receive a return based on or indexed to the performance of an individual security or a basket of securities. The Fund usually will enter into swaps on a net basis, i.e., the two payment streams are netted out in a cash settlement on the payment date or dates specified in the instrument, with the Fund receiving or paying, as the case may be, only the net amount of the two payments. The Adviser and the Fund believe such obligations do not constitute senior securities under the 1940 Act, and, accordingly, will not treat them as being subject to the Fund’s borrowing restrictions. Swap contracts are not traded on exchanges; rather, banks and dealers act as principals in these markets. As a result, the Fund will be subject to the risk of the inability or refusal to perform with respect to such contracts on the part of the counterparties with which the Fund trades. If there is a default by a counterparty, the Fund may have contractual remedies pursuant to the agreements related to the transaction. The swap market is generally not regulated by any government authority. Participants in the swap markets are not required to make continuous markets in the swap contracts they trade.

As a result of the Dodd-Frank Act, certain swap agreements may be cleared through a clearinghouse and traded on an exchange or swap execution facility. New regulations could, among other things, increase the costs of such transactions, affect the ability of the Fund to enter into swap agreements or limit the ability of the Fund to terminate existing swap agreements or to realize amounts to be received under such agreements. The Adviser will continue to monitor developments in this area, particularly to the extent regulatory changes affect the Fund’s ability to enter into swap agreements.

To the extent the Fund uses interest rate, currency and index swaps, it intends to use them as hedges and not as speculative investments and will not sell interest rate caps or floors where it does not own securities or other instruments providing the income stream the Fund may be obligated to pay. Interest rate swaps involve the exchange by the Fund with another party of their respective commitments to pay or receive interest, e.g., an exchange of floating rate payments for fixed rate payments with respect to a notional amount of principal. A currency swap is an agreement to exchange cash flows on a notional amount of two or more currencies based on the relative value differential among them. An index swap is an agreement to swap cash flows on a notional amount based on changes in the values of the reference indices. The purchase of a cap entitles the purchaser to receive payments on a notional principal amount

Table of Contents

from the party selling such cap to the extent that a specified index exceeds a predetermined interest rate or amount. The purchase of a floor entitles the purchaser to receive payments on a notional principal amount from the party selling such floor to the extent that a specified index falls below a predetermined interest rate or amount. A collar is a combination of a cap and a floor that preserves a certain return within a predetermined range of interest rates or values.

With respect to swaps, the Fund will accrue the net amount of the excess, if any, of its obligations over its entitlements with respect to each swap on a daily basis and will earmark or segregate an amount of cash or liquid securities having a value equal to the accrued excess. Caps, floors and collars require segregation of assets with a value equal to the Fund’s net obligation, if any.

Options on Securities and Indexes. The Fund may purchase and sell put options and call options on securities, indexes or foreign currencies. The Fund may purchase agreements, sometimes called cash puts, that may accompany the purchase of a new issue of bonds from a dealer.

An option on a security (or index) is a contract that gives the purchaser (holder) of the option, in return for a premium, the right to buy from (call) or sell to (put) the seller (writer) of the option the security underlying the option (or the cash value of the index) at a specified exercise price at any time during the term of the option (normally not exceeding nine months). The writer of an option on an individual security or on a foreign currency has the obligation upon exercise of the option to deliver the underlying security or foreign currency upon payment of the exercise price or to pay the exercise price upon delivery of the underlying security or foreign currency. Upon exercise, the writer of an option on an index is obligated to pay the difference between the cash value of the index and the exercise price multiplied by the specified multiplier for the index option. (An index is designed to reflect specified facets of a particular financial or securities market, a specific group of financial instruments or securities, or certain economic indicators.)

The Fund will write call options and put options only if they are “covered.” For example, in the case of a call option on a security, the option is “covered” if the Fund owns the security underlying the call or has an absolute and immediate right to acquire that security without additional cash consideration (or, if additional cash consideration is required, cash or cash equivalents in such amount are earmarked or held in a segregated account by its custodian) upon conversion or exchange of other securities held in its portfolio.

If an option written by the Fund expires, the Fund realizes a capital gain equal to the premium received at the time the option was written. If an option purchased by the Fund expires, the Fund realizes a capital loss equal to the premium paid.

Prior to the earlier of exercise or expiration, an option may be closed out by an offsetting purchase or sale of an option of the same series (type, exchange, underlying security or index, exercise price, and expiration). There can be no assurance, however, that a closing purchase or sale transaction can be effected when the Fund desires.

The Fund will realize a capital gain from a closing purchase transaction if the cost of the closing option is less than the premium received from writing the option, or, if it is more, the Fund will realize a capital loss. If the premium received from a closing sale transaction is more than the premium paid to purchase the option, the Fund will realize a capital gain, or, if it is less, the Fund will realize a capital loss. The principal factors affecting the market value of a put or a call option include supply and demand, interest rates, the current market price of the underlying security or index in relation to the exercise price of the option, the volatility of the underlying security or index and the time remaining until the expiration date.

A put or call option purchased by the Fund is an asset of the Fund, valued initially at the premium paid for the option. The premium received for an option written by the Fund is recorded as a deferred credit. The value of an option purchased or written is marked-to-market daily and is valued at the closing price

on the exchange on which it is traded or, if not traded on an exchange or no closing price is available, at the mean between the last bid and asked prices.

There are several risks associated with transactions in options. For example, there are significant differences between the securities markets, the currency markets, and the options markets that could result in an imperfect correlation between these markets, causing a given transaction not to achieve its objectives. A decision as to whether, when and how to use options involves the exercise of skill and judgment, and even a well-conceived transaction may be unsuccessful to some degree because of market behavior or unexpected events.

There can be no assurance that a liquid market will exist when the Fund seeks to close out an option position. If a Fund were unable to close out an option that it had purchased on a security, it would have to exercise the option in order to realize any profit or the option would expire and become worthless. If the Fund were unable to close out a covered call option that it had written on a security, it would not be able to sell the underlying security until the option expired. As the writer of a covered call option on a security, the Fund foregoes, during the option’s life, the opportunity to profit from increases in the market value of the security covering the call option above the sum of the premium and the exercise price of the call.

If trading were suspended in an option purchased or written by the Fund, the Fund would not be able to close out the option. If restrictions on exercise were imposed, the Fund might be unable to exercise an option it has purchased.

Futures Contracts and Options on Futures Contracts. The Fund may use interest rate futures contracts, index futures contracts, and foreign currency futures contracts. An interest rate, index or foreign currency futures contract provides for the future sale by one party and purchase by another party of a specified quantity of a financial instrument or the cash value of an index1 at a specified price and time. A public market exists in futures contracts covering a number of indexes (including, but not limited to, the Standard & Poor’s 500® Index, the Value Line Composite Index, and the New York Stock Exchange Composite Index), as well as financial instruments (including, but not limited to, U.S. Treasury bonds, U.S. Treasury notes, Eurodollar certificates of deposit, and foreign currencies). Other index and financial instrument futures contracts are available and it is expected that additional futures contracts will be developed and traded.

The Fund may purchase and write call and put futures options. Futures options possess many of the same characteristics as options on securities, indexes and foreign currencies (discussed above). A futures option gives the holder the right, in return for the premium paid, to assume a long position (call) or short position (put) in a futures contract at a specified exercise price at any time during the period of the option. Upon exercise of a call option, the holder acquires a long position in the futures contract and the writer is assigned the opposite short position. In the case of a put option, the opposite is true. the Fund might, for example, use futures contracts to hedge against or gain exposure to fluctuations in the general level of stock prices, anticipated changes in interest rates or currency fluctuations that might adversely affect either the value of the Fund’s securities or the price of the securities that the Fund intends to purchase. Although other techniques could be used to reduce or increase the Fund’s exposure to stock price, interest rate and currency fluctuations, the Fund may be able to achieve its exposure more effectively and perhaps at a lower cost by using futures contracts and futures options.

The success of any futures transaction may depend on the Adviser correctly predicting changes in the level and direction of stock prices, interest rates, currency exchange rates and other factors. Should those predictions be incorrect, the Fund’s return might have been better had the transaction not been attempted;

A futures contract on an index is an agreement pursuant to which two parties agree to take or make delivery of an amount of cash equal to the difference between the value of the index at the close of the last trading day of the contract and the price at which the index contract was originally written. Although the value of a securities index is a function of the value of certain specified securities, no physical delivery of those securities is made.

Table of Contents

however, in the absence of the ability to use futures contracts, the Adviser might have taken portfolio actions in anticipation of the same market movements with similar investment results but, presumably, at greater transaction costs.

When a purchase or sale of a futures contract is made by the Fund, the Fund is required to deposit with its custodian (or broker, if legally permitted) a specified amount of cash or U.S. government securities or other securities acceptable to the broker (“initial margin”). The margin required for a futures contract is set by the exchange on which the contract is traded and may be modified during the term of the contract. The initial margin is in the nature of a performance bond or good faith deposit on the futures contract, which is returned to the Fund upon termination of the contract, assuming all contractual obligations have been satisfied. The Fund expects to earn interest income on its initial margin deposits. A futures contract held by the Fund is valued daily at the official settlement price of the exchange on which it is traded. Each day the Fund pays or receives cash, called “variation margin,” equal to the daily change in value of the futures contract. This process is known as “marking-to-market.” Variation margin paid or received by the Fund does not represent a borrowing or loan by the Fund but is instead settlement between the Fund and the broker of the amount one would owe the other if the futures contract had expired at the close of the previous day. In computing daily net asset value, the Fund will mark-to-market its open futures positions.

The Fund is also required to deposit and maintain margin with respect to put and call options on futures contracts written by it. Such margin deposits will vary depending on the nature of the underlying futures contract (and the related initial margin requirements), the current market value of the option and other futures positions held by the Fund.

Although some futures contracts call for making or taking delivery of the underlying securities, usually these obligations are closed out prior to delivery by offsetting purchases or sales of matching futures contracts (same exchange, underlying security or index and delivery month). If an offsetting purchase price is less than the original sale price, the Fund realizes a capital gain, or if it is more, the Fund realizes a capital loss. Conversely, if an offsetting sale price is more than the original purchase price, the Fund realizes a capital gain, or if it is less, the Fund realizes a capital loss. The transaction costs must also be included in these calculations.

There are several risks associated with the use of futures contracts and futures options. A purchase or sale of a futures contract may result in losses in excess of the amount invested in the futures contract. In trying to increase or reduce market exposure, there can be no guarantee that there will be a correlation between price movements in the futures contract and in the portfolio exposure sought. In addition, there are significant differences between the securities and futures markets that could result in an imperfect correlation between the markets, causing a given transaction not to achieve its objectives. The degree of imperfection of correlation depends on circumstances such as variations in speculative market demand for futures, futures options and the related securities, including technical influences in futures and futures options trading and differences between the securities markets and the securities underlying the standard contracts available for trading. For example, in the case of index futures contracts, the composition of the index, including the issuers and the weighting of each issue, may differ from the composition of the Fund’s portfolio, and, in the case of interest rate futures contracts, the interest rate levels, maturities and creditworthiness of the issues underlying the futures contract may differ from the financial instruments held in the Fund’s portfolio. A decision as to whether, when and how to use futures contracts involves the exercise of skill and judgment, and even a well-conceived transaction may be unsuccessful to some degree because of market behavior or unexpected stock price or interest rate trends.

Futures exchanges may limit the amount of fluctuation permitted in certain futures contract prices during a single trading day. The daily limit establishes the maximum amount that the price of a futures contract may vary either up or down from the previous day’s settlement price at the end of the current trading session. Once the daily limit has been reached in a futures contract subject to the limit, no more trades may be made on that day at a price beyond that limit. The daily limit governs only price movements

Table of Contents

during a particular trading day and therefore does not limit potential losses because the limit may work to prevent the liquidation of unfavorable positions. For example, futures prices have occasionally moved to the daily limit for several consecutive trading days with little or no trading, thereby preventing prompt liquidation of positions and subjecting some holders of futures contracts to substantial losses. Stock index futures contracts are not normally subject to such daily price change limitations.

There can be no assurance that a liquid market will exist at a time when the Fund seeks to close out a futures or futures option position. The Fund would be exposed to possible loss on the position during the interval of inability to close and would continue to be required to meet margin requirements until the position is closed. In addition, many of the contracts discussed above are relatively new instruments without a significant trading history. As a result, there can be no assurance that an active secondary market will develop or continue to exist.

Limitations on Options and Futures. If other options, futures contracts or futures options of types other than those described herein are traded in the future, the Fund may also use those investment vehicles, provided that the Board determines that their use is consistent with the Fund’s investment objective.

When purchasing a futures contract or writing a put option on a futures contract, a Fund must maintain with its custodian (or broker, if legally permitted) cash or cash equivalents (including any margin) equal to the market value of such contract. When writing a call option on a futures contract, the Fund similarly will maintain with its custodian cash or cash equivalents (including any margin) equal to the amount by which such option is in-the-money until the option expires or is closed out by the Fund.

The Fund may not maintain open short positions in futures contracts, call options written on futures contracts or call options written on indexes if, in the aggregate, the market value of all such open positions exceeds the current value of the securities in its portfolio, plus or minus unrealized gains and losses on the open positions, adjusted for the historical relative volatility of the relationship between the portfolio and the positions. For this purpose, to the extent the Fund has written call options on specific securities in its portfolio, the value of those securities will be deducted from the current market value of the securities portfolio.

A notice of eligibility for exclusion from the definition of the term “commodity pool operator” has been filed with the National Futures Association with respect to the Fund. The Fund intends to limit its use of futures and options on futures or commodities or engage in swap transactions so as to remain eligible for the exclusion. If the Fund were no longer able to claim the exemption, the Adviser would be required to register as a “commodity pool operator,” and the Adviser and the Fund would be subject to regulation under the Commodity Exchange Act.

Exchange-Traded Funds

The Fund may purchase shares of exchange-traded funds (“ETFs”). All ETFs are investment companies whose shares are bought and sold on a securities exchange. An ETF generally represents a portfolio of securities designed to track a particular market index. The risks of owning shares of an ETF generally reflect the risks of owning the underlying securities the index is designed to track, although lack of liquidity in a particular ETF could result in it being more volatile than the underlying portfolio of securities and trading at a discount to its net asset value. ETFs also have management fees that are part of their costs, and the Fund will indirectly bear its proportionate share of these costs.

The Fund’s investment in ETFs, subject to the exception specified in the next sentence, currently is limited to (a) 3% of the total voting stock of any one ETF, (b) 5% of the Fund’s total assets with respect to any one ETF and (c) 10% of the Fund’s total assets in the aggregate. An exception to these limitations is found in Section 12(d)(1)(F) of the 1940 Act, which provides that the above limitations do not apply to securities purchased or otherwise acquired by the Fund if (a) immediately after such purchase or

Table of Contents

acquisition not more than 3% of the total outstanding securities of such ETF is owned by the Fund and all affiliated persons of the Fund; and (b) the Fund has not offered or sold, and is not proposing to offer or sell, any security issued by it through a principal underwriter or otherwise at a public or offering price which includes a sales load of more than 1 1/2%. In any event, the Fund will not invest more than 10% of its total assets in ETFs.

INVESTMENT RESTRICTIONS

The Fund operates under the following fundamental investment restrictions, which, together with the investment objective and fundamental policies, cannot be changed without the approval of a “majority of the outstanding voting securities,” which is defined in the 1940 Act to mean the lesser of (i) 67% of the Fund’s shares present at a meeting where more than 50% of the outstanding shares are present in person or by proxy or (ii) more than 50% of the Fund’s outstanding shares. The Fund may not:

 

(1) act as an underwriter of securities, except insofar as it may be deemed an underwriter for purposes of the 1933 Act on disposition of securities acquired subject to legal or contractual restrictions on resale;

 

(2) purchase or sell real estate (although it may purchase securities secured by real estate or interests therein, or securities issued by companies which invest in real estate or interests therein), commodities or commodity contracts, except that it may enter into (a) futures and options on futures and (b) forward currency contracts;

 

(3) make loans, but this restriction shall not prevent the Fund from (a) buying a part of an issue of bonds, debentures, or other obligations, (b) investing in repurchase agreements, or (c) lending portfolio securities, provided that it may not lend securities if, as a result, the aggregate value of all securities loaned would exceed 33 1/3% of its total assets (taken at market value at the time of such loan);

 

(4) borrow, except that it may (a) borrow up to 33 1/3% of its total assets, taken at market value at the time of such borrowing, as a temporary measure for extraordinary or emergency purposes, but not to increase portfolio income (the total of reverse repurchase agreements and such borrowings will not exceed 33 1/3% of its total assets, and the Fund will not purchase additional securities when its borrowings, less proceeds receivable from sales of portfolio securities, exceed 5% of its total assets) and (b) enter into transactions in options, futures and options on futures;

 

(5) invest in a security if 25% or more of its net assets (taken at market value at the time of a particular purchase) would be invested in the securities of issuers in any particular industry,2 except that this restriction does not apply to securities issued or guaranteed by the U.S. government or its agencies or instrumentalities; or

 

(6) issue any senior security except to the extent permitted under the 1940 Act.

The Fund is diversified and will seek shareholder approval if it elects to become non-diversified in the future.

All swap agreements and other derivative instruments that were not classified as commodities or commodity contracts prior to July 21, 2010 are not deemed to be commodities or commodity contracts for

For purposes of this investment restriction, the Fund uses industry classifications contained in Morgan Stanley Capital International and Standard & Poor’s Global Industry Classification Standard (“GICS”). To the extent that categorization in GICS is “Miscellaneous” or “Other” for an industry, the portfolio manager may change the GICS industry classification to a more appropriate or specific industry.

purposes of restriction number 2 above. The deposit or payment by the Fund of initial, maintenance or variation margin in connection with all types of short sales, options and futures contact transactions is not considered to be borrowing for purposes of restriction number 4 above or the issuance of a senior security for purposes of restriction number 6 above.

The Fund is also subject to the following nonfundamental restrictions and policies, which may be changed by the Board without shareholder approval. The Fund may not:

 

(1) invest in companies for the purpose of exercising control or management;

 

(2) purchase, except for securities acquired as part of a merger, consolidation or acquisition of assets, more than 3% of the stock of another investment company (valued at time of purchase);

 

(3) mortgage, pledge or hypothecate its assets, except as may be necessary in connection with permitted borrowings or in connection with options, futures and options on futures;

 

(4) purchase securities on margin (except for use of short-term credits as are necessary for the clearance of transactions), or sell securities short unless (i) the Fund owns or has the right to obtain securities equivalent in kind and amount to those sold short at no added cost or (ii) the securities sold are “when issued” or “when distributed” securities which the Fund expects to receive in a recapitalization, reorganization or other exchange for securities the Fund contemporaneously owns or has the right to obtain and provided that transactions in options, futures and options on futures are not treated as short sales;

 

(5) invest more than 15% of its net assets (taken at market value at the time of a particular investment) in illiquid securities, including repurchase agreements maturing in more than seven days; and

 

(6) under normal market conditions, invest less than 80% of its net assets (plus the amount of borrowings for investment purposes) in the equity securities of U.S. small cap companies.

The Fund will notify its shareholders at least 60 days prior to any change in the policies described in (6) above.

For purposes of these investment restrictions, with the exception of the restriction on borrowing, subsequent changes in the Fund’s holdings as a result of changing market conditions or changes in the amount of the Fund’s total assets does not require the Fund to sell or dispose of an investment or to take any other action, except that if illiquid securities exceed 15% of the Fund’s net assets after the time of purchase, the Fund will take steps to reduce in an orderly fashion its holdings of illiquid securities. Because illiquid securities may not be readily marketable, the portfolio managers may not be able to dispose of them in a timely manner. As a result, the Fund may be forced to hold illiquid securities while their price depreciates. Depreciation in the price of illiquid securities may cause the net asset value of a Fund to decline. With respect to the investment restriction related to borrowing, the Fund may only borrow from banks and in the event that such asset coverage shall at any time fall below 33 1/3% of its total assets, the Fund shall, within three days thereafter (not including Sundays and holidays), reduce the amount of its borrowings to an extent that the asset coverage of such borrowings shall be at least 33 1/3% of its total assets.

DISCLOSURE OF THE FUND’S PORTFOLIO HOLDINGS

It is the policy of the Fund, DCM and Driehaus Securities LLC (“DS LLC” or the “Distributor”) that non-public information about the Fund’s portfolio holdings (“Portfolio Holdings”) may not be selectively disclosed to any person, unless the disclosure (a) is made for a legitimate business purpose, (b) is made to a recipient who is subject to a duty to keep the information confidential, including a duty not to trade on

the basis of the Fund’s Portfolio Holdings (“Authorized Recipients”), (c) is consistent with DCM’s fiduciary duties as an investment adviser, the duties owed by DS LLC as a broker-dealer or the duties owed by the Fund to its shareholders and (d) will not violate the antifraud provisions of the federal securities laws (“Disclosure Conditions”). The purpose of this policy is to prevent abusive trading in shares of the Fund, such as market timing, and not other fraudulent practices, e.g., trading on “inside information,” that are addressed in the Trust’s, DCM’s and DS LLC’s Code of Ethics.

Authorized Recipients of Portfolio Holdings information are: (a) the Trust’s officers and Trustees in their capacity as such; (b) officers, directors or employees of DCM and DS LLC who need the information to perform their duties; (c) outside counsel to the Trust, DCM or DS LLC and independent counsel to the Trust’s Trustees who are not affiliates of the Adviser (each an “Independent Trustee” and collectively, the “Independent Trustees”) in their capacity as such; (d) the independent registered public accounting firm (the “auditors”) for the Fund, DCM or DS LLC; (e) the auditors conducting the performance verifications for DCM, DS LLC and/or their affiliates; (f) third-party broker-dealers in connection with the provision of brokerage, research or analytical services to the Trust, DCM or DS LLC; (g) third-party service providers to the Fund, DCM or DS LLC, such as the Fund’s custodian; the Fund’s administrator and transfer agent; DCM’s proxy-voting service; the Fund’s pricing service; and “best execution” analysts retained to evaluate the quality of executions obtained for the Fund, provided their contracts with the Fund, DCM and DS LLC contain appropriate provisions protecting the confidentiality, and limiting the use, of the information; (h) consultants and rating and ranking organizations that have entered into written confidentiality agreements with the Trust, DCM or DS LLC appropriately limiting their use of the information; and (i) such other Authorized Recipients as may be pre-approved from time to time by DCM’s Chief Executive Officer, President or General Counsel.

Authorized Recipients do not include, for example, members of the press or other communications media, institutional investors and persons that are engaged in selling shares of the Fund to customers, such as financial planners, broker-dealers or other intermediaries unless the Disclosure Conditions are satisfied. However, the Fund, DCM or DS LLC may make disclosure of a limited number of Portfolio Holdings, provided the Fund is not disadvantaged by such disclosure and the disclosure is made for a legitimate business purpose. For example, in the normal course of business, in discussions about the Fund with current and prospective institutional shareholders and/or their advisors conducting due diligence about the Fund, the Adviser may occasionally and incidentally mention specific Portfolio Holdings that have not been previously disclosed. The Fund and the Adviser do not believe that these disclosures will disadvantage the Fund.

The Fund will post performance figures on its web site within seven business days after month-end. The Fund will post Portfolio Holdings, including top five holdings, on its web site 30 days after month-end. Sector and country weightings and performance attribution will be posted as soon as information is available after calendar quarter-end. All Portfolio Holdings information is available at www.driehaus.com. Portfolio Holdings information is also available upon request after the web site posting and quarterly on Form N-Q or Form N-CSR. These filings are described below.

The Fund’s Portfolio Holdings posted on the web site and in these filings may not represent current or future portfolio composition and are subject to change without notice. Information on particular Portfolio Holdings may be withheld if it is in the Fund’s best interest to do so.

DCM and DS LLC shall not agree to give or receive from any person or entity any compensation or consideration of any kind (including an agreement to maintain assets in any portfolio or enter into or maintain any other relationship with DCM or DS LLC) in connection with the release of the Fund’s Portfolio Holdings.

DCM’s General Counsel is responsible for reviewing the agreements between the Trust, DCM or DS LLC and the third-party service providers, consultants, rating and ranking organizations and any pre-

approved Authorized Recipients, to seek to ensure that these agreements contain appropriate confidentiality and limitations on use provisions. DCM’s Chief Compliance Officer is responsible for monitoring compliance with the Fund’s pre-approval and disclosure restrictions. The Trust’s Treasurer, Chief Legal Officer and Chief Compliance Officer, working with the Trust’s counsel, are responsible for ensuring the accuracy and completeness of the Prospectus and SAI disclosure related to the Fund’s disclosure of portfolio holdings. The Trust’s Chief Compliance Officer will report to the Trust’s Board at least annually on compliance by the Fund, DCM and DS LLC with the policies and procedures on selective disclosure of the Fund’s Portfolio Holdings to enable the Board to exercise its oversight of these policies and procedures.

The Fund’s Portfolio Holdings must be filed with the SEC within 60 days of quarter-end. The Portfolio Holdings are available on the Fund’s web site at www.driehaus.com within five business days after filing with the SEC and are available on the web site for at least six months from the posting date.

PURCHASES AND REDEMPTIONS

How to purchase and redeem Fund shares is discussed in the Prospectus. The Prospectus discloses that you may purchase (or redeem) shares through investment dealers or other institutions. It is the responsibility of any such institution to establish procedures insuring the prompt transmission to the Fund of any such purchase order.

The Fund’s net asset value is determined on days on which the New York Stock Exchange (the “NYSE”) is open for trading. The NYSE is regularly closed on Saturdays and Sundays and on New Year’s Day, Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Day, Presidents’ Day, Good Friday, Memorial Day, Independence Day (observed), Labor Day, Thanksgiving Day and Christmas Day (observed). If one of these holidays falls on a Saturday or Sunday, the NYSE will be closed on the preceding Friday or the following Monday, respectively.

The Trust intends to pay all redemptions in cash and will pay cash for all redemption orders, limited in amount with respect to each shareholder of record during any ninety-day period to the lesser of $250,000 or one percent of the net assets of the Fund, as measured at the beginning of such period. However, redemptions in excess of such limit may be paid wholly or partly by a distribution in kind of exchange-traded securities. If redemptions are made in kind, the proceeds are taxable for federal income tax purposes in the same manner as a redemption for cash and the redeeming shareholder might incur transaction costs in selling the securities received in the redemption.

The Trust reserves the right to suspend or postpone redemptions of shares of the Fund during any period when: (a) trading on the NYSE is restricted, as determined by the SEC, or the NYSE is closed for other than customary weekend and holiday closings; (b) the SEC has by order permitted such suspension; or (c) an emergency, as determined by the SEC, exists, making disposal of portfolio securities or valuation of net assets of the Fund not reasonably practicable.

NET ASSET VALUE

The net asset value per share of each class of the Fund is calculated by dividing (i) the value of the securities held by the Fund (i.e., the value of its investments) attributable to such class, plus any cash or other assets attributable to such class, minus all liabilities (including accrued estimated expenses on an annual basis) attributable to such class, by (ii) the total number of outstanding shares of such class of the Fund. Investment securities, including ADRs, that are traded on a stock exchange are valued at the last sale price as of the regular close of business on the NYSE (normally 3:00 p.m. Central time) on the day the securities are being valued, or lacking any sales, at either (a) the last bid prices or (b) the mean between the closing bid and asked prices. Securities traded on Nasdaq will be valued at the Nasdaq

 

13


Table of Contents

official closing price or if there were no sales, at the mean between the closing bid and asked prices. Other over-the-counter securities are valued at the mean between the closing bid and asked prices. Net asset value will not be determined on days when the NYSE is closed, unless, in the judgment of the Board, the net asset value of a Fund should be determined on any such day, in which case the determination will be made at 3:00 p.m. Central time.

In the event that the NYSE or the relevant national securities exchange adopts different trading hours on a temporary basis, a Fund’s net asset value will be computed at the close of the exchange.

Trading in securities on most over-the-counter markets is normally completed well before the close of the NYSE. Such securities are valued at the last sale price as of the regular close of the relevant exchange. For securities that trade primarily on an exchange that closes after the NYSE, the price of the security will be determined at 3:00 p.m. Central time.

Securities and assets for which market quotations are not readily available are valued at fair value determined by the Adviser’s Pricing Committee pursuant to methodologies established in good faith by the Board. If the Adviser’s Pricing Committee determines that the foregoing methods do not accurately reflect current market value, securities and assets are valued at fair value as determined in good faith by or under direction of the Board.

The Fund uses independent pricing services approved by the Board. Unless priced in accordance with the provisions of the prior paragraph, prices of equity securities provided by such services represent the last quoted sale price on the exchange where the security is primarily traded. Prices of bonds by such services represent evaluations of the mean between current bid and asked market prices, may be determined without exclusive reliance on quoted prices and may reflect appropriate factors such as institution-size trading in similar groups of securities, yield, quality, coupon rate, maturity, type of issue, individual trading characteristics, indications of values from dealers and other market data. Such services may use electronic data processing techniques and/or a matrix system to determine valuations.

Long-term debt obligations held long are valued at the representative quoted bid prices for such securities. Long-term debt obligations sold short will be valued at the representative quoted asked price for such securities. When the Adviser deems it appropriate, prices obtained for the day of valuation from a bond pricing service will be used, as discussed above. Debt securities with maturities of 60 days or less are valued at amortized cost. Repurchase agreements are valued at cost plus accrued interest.

U.S. government securities are traded in the over-the-counter market and are valued at the last available bid price. Securities with a demand feature exercisable within one to seven days are valued at par. U.S. government securities that are sold short are valued at the last available asked price. Such valuations are based on quotations of one or more dealers that make markets in the securities as obtained from such dealers, or on the evaluation of a pricing service.

Options, futures contracts and options thereon, which are traded on exchanges, are valued at their last sale or settlement price as of the close of such exchanges or, if no sales are reported, at the mean between the last reported bid and asked prices. If an options or futures exchange closes later than 3:00 p.m. Central time, the options or futures traded on it are valued based on the sale price, or on the mean between the bid and ask prices, as the case may be, as of 3:00 p.m. Central time.

Leadership Structure and Board of Trustees

The Board has general oversight responsibility with respect to the business and affairs of the Trust. The Board is responsible for overseeing the operations of the Funds in accordance with the provisions of the 1940 Act, other applicable laws and the Trust’s Declaration of Trust. The Board is composed of five Independent Trustees who are not affiliates of the Adviser (each an “Independent Trustee” and collectively, the “Independent Trustees”) and one Interested Trustee. The Board has appointed an Independent Trustee to serve as Chairperson of the Board. Generally, the Board acts by majority vote of all of the Trustees, including a majority vote of the Independent Trustees if required by applicable law. The Trust’s day-to-day operations are managed by the Adviser and other service providers who have been approved by the Board. The Board meets periodically throughout the year to oversee the Trust’s activities, review contractual arrangements with service providers, oversee compliance with regulatory requirements, and review performance. The Board has determined that its leadership structure is appropriate given the size of the Board, the experience of each Trustee with the Trust and the number and nature of funds (including the Fund) within the Trust.

The Trustees were selected to serve and continue on the Board based upon their skills, experience, judgment, analytical ability, diligence, ability to work effectively with other Trustees and a commitment to the interests of shareholders and with respect to the Independent Trustees, a demonstrated willingness to take an independent and questioning view of management. Each Trustee currently also has familiarity with the Fund, the Adviser and the Distributor, and their operations, as well as the special regulatory requirements governing regulated investment companies and the special responsibilities of investment company directors as a result of his or her prior service as a Trustee of the Trust or as an Advisory Board Member. In addition to those qualifications, the following is a brief summary of the specific experience, qualifications or skills that led to the conclusion, as of the date of this SAI, that each person identified below should serve as a Trustee for the Trust. References to the qualifications, attributes and skills of the Trustees are pursuant to requirements of the SEC, and do not constitute a holding out of the Board or any Trustee as having any special expertise and shall not impose any greater responsibility or liability on any such person or on the Board by reason thereof. As required by rules the SEC has adopted under the 1940 Act, the Trust’s Independent Trustees select and nominate all candidates for Independent Trustee positions.

Richard H. Driehaus. Mr. Driehaus has served as Trustee of the Trust since 1996 and served as President of the Trust from 1996 to 2011. He is Chairman of the Board and founder of the Adviser, the Distributor and USVI. In addition to his business experience as a chief executive officer, Mr. Driehaus has managed investments for over 40 years and currently serves as Chief Investment Officer of the Adviser. He serves on the Boards of Driehaus Capital Holdings LLLP, Driehaus Enterprise Management, Inc., Driehaus Trust Company, LLC, The Richard H. Driehaus Foundation and The Richard H. Driehaus Museum. Mr. Driehaus’s role as Chief Investment Officer is structured to be compatible with the information barriers that apply to his investment and trading activity under the code of ethics adopted by the Adviser, the Distributor and the Trust. As the CIO, Mr. Driehaus sets the Adviser’s equity investment philosophy. However, he is prohibited on an on-going basis from engaging in stock-specific discussions with the investment personnel.

Daniel F. Zemanek. Mr. Zemanek has served as Trustee of the Trust since 1996 and Chairperson of the Board since June 2014. From 2008 through 2014, he served as President of Ludan, Inc., a real estate development services company specializing in senior housing. Mr. Zemanek has held senior management positions with various real estate development companies, including serving as Senior Vice President of Sunrise Development, Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of Sunrise Senior Living, Inc., a NYSE company (SRZ), from 2003 to 2007. Mr. Zemanek has also served as a consultant for real estate development.

He also serves or has served on the Boards of the President’s Advisory Council on Financial Capability for Young Americans, President’s Advisory Council on Financial Capability, Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation Advisory Committee on Economic Inclusion and Jump$tart Coalition for Personal Financial Literacy.

Francis J. Harmon. Mr. Harmon has served as Trustee of the Trust since 1998. He has served as Relationship Manager of Great Lakes Advisors, Inc. since 2008. From 1989 to 2008, Mr. Harmon was a Principal Account Executive-Labor Affairs with Blue Cross and Blue Shield of Illinois and prior to 1989 was Director of Workers Compensation/Health and Welfare Benefits for the City of Chicago.

Christopher J. Towle. Mr. Towle has served as Trustee of the Trust since 2016. From 1987 to 2014, Mr. Towle was with Lord Abbett & Co., most recently as Partner, Portfolio Manager and Director of High Yield and Convertible Securities. He is a CFA® charterholder.

Dawn M. Vroegop. Ms. Vroegop has served as Trustee of the Trust since 2012 and served as an Advisory Board member from 2011 to 2012. From 1999 to 2003, she was a Managing Director with Dresdner RCM Global Investors. She also serves on the Boards of Met Investor Series Trust, Metropolitan Series Fund, Inc. and City College of San Francisco Foundation. The Board of the Trust has determined that Ms. Vroegop is qualified as an “audit committee financial expert” as defined by the SEC.

Risk Oversight

Risk oversight forms part of the Board’s general oversight of the Fund and is addressed as part of various Board and Committee activities. As part of its regular oversight of the Fund, the Board, directly or through a Committee, interacts with and reviews reports from, among others, the Adviser, the Chief Compliance Officer and the independent registered public accounting firm, as appropriate, regarding risks faced by the Fund. The Board, with the assistance of the Adviser, reviews investment policies and risks in connection with its review of the Fund’s performance. The Board has appointed a Chief Compliance Officer who oversees the implementation and testing of the Fund’s compliance program and reports to the Board regarding compliance matters for the Fund and its service providers. In addition, as part of the Board’s oversight of the Fund’s advisory and other service provider agreements, the Board may periodically consider risk management aspects of their operations and the functions for which they are responsible. With respect to valuation, the Board has approved Pricing Procedures intended to address valuation issues.

The Board has established the following Committees and the membership of each Committee to assist in its oversight functions, including its oversight of the risks the Fund face. Committee membership is identified below. Each Committee must report its activities to the Board on a regular basis.

Audit Committee

The primary purpose of the Committee is to assist the Board in fulfilling certain of its responsibilities. The Audit Committee serves as an independent and objective party to monitor the Fund’s accounting policies, financial reporting and internal control system, as well as the work of the independent registered public accounting firm. The Audit Committee assists Board oversight of (1) the quality and integrity of

 

19


Table of Contents

the Fund’s financial statements and the independent audit thereof; (2) the Fund’s accounting and financial reporting processes and internal control over financial reporting; (iii) the Fund’s compliance with legal and regulatory requirements that relate to the Fund’s accounting and financial reporting, internal control over financial reporting and independent audits; and (iv) the qualifications, independence and performance of the Fund’s independent registered public accounting firm. The Audit Committee also serves to provide an open avenue of communication among the independent registered public accounting firm, Fund management and the Board. All Independent Trustees serve as members of the Audit Committee. The Audit Committee held three meetings during the Trust’s last fiscal year.

Executive Committee

The Committee’s primary purpose is to exercise certain powers of the Board when the Board is not in session. When the Board is not in session, the Committee may exercise all powers of the Board subject to certain statutory exceptions. The members of the Executive Committee are Richard H. Driehaus and Daniel F. Zemanek. The Executive Committee held no meetings during the Trust’s last fiscal year.

Nominating and Governance Committee

The Committee’s primary purpose is (1) to identify and recommend individuals for membership on the Board and (2) to oversee the administration of the Board Governance Guidelines and Procedures. The Committee’s responsibilities include evaluating Board membership and functions, committee membership and functions, insurance coverage, and legal and compliance matters. All Independent Trustees serve as members of the Nominating and Governance Committee. The Nominating and Governance Committee held one meeting during the Trust’s last fiscal year.

The nominating functions of the Nominating and Governance Committee include selecting and nominating all candidates who are not “interested persons” of the Trust (as defined in the 1940 Act) for election to the Board. Suggestions for candidates may be submitted to the Committee by other Trustees, by shareholders or by the Adviser. Shareholders may submit suggestions for candidates by sending a resume of the candidate to the Secretary of the Trust for the attention of the Chairperson of the Nominating and Governance Committee to 25 East Erie Street, Chicago, Illinois 60611. With regard to candidates for interested Trustee positions, the Nominating and Governance Committee and the Board shall give reasonable deference to the Adviser’s suggestions of candidates.

When evaluating a person as a potential nominee to serve as an independent Trustee, the Committee will generally consider, among other factors: age; education; relevant business experience; geographical factors; whether the person is “independent” and otherwise qualified under applicable laws and regulations to serve as a Trustee; and whether the person is willing to serve, and willing and able to commit the time necessary for attendance at meetings and the performance of the duties of an independent Trustee. The Committee also meets personally with the nominees and conducts a reference check. The final decision is based on a combination of factors, including the strengths and the experience an individual may bring to the Board. The Committee believes the Board generally benefits from diversity of background, experience and views among its members, and considers this a factor in evaluating the composition of the Board, but has not adopted any specific policy in this regard.

PRINCIPAL SHAREHOLDERS

As of the date hereof, no persons were known to the Trust to be beneficial or record owners (having sole voting and dispositive power) of 5% or more of the shares of beneficial interest of the Fund.

HOLDINGS IN CERTAIN AFFILIATES OF THE ADVISER

More than 75 percent of the Board members are classified under the 1940 Act as not being “interested persons” of the Trust and are often referred to as “Independent Trustees.” In addition to investing in the Fund and various other funds of the Trust, Independent Trustees may invest in limited partnerships that are managed by the Adviser and an affiliate of the Adviser. The Independent Trustees may also, from time to time, invest in other investment ventures in which affiliates and employees of the Adviser also invest.

As of December 31, 2016, no Independent Trustee or his or her immediate family members held the beneficial or record ownership of the securities of any entity other than another registered investment company, controlling, controlled by or under common control with the Adviser.

INVESTMENT ADVISORY SERVICES

The Adviser is controlled by Richard H. Driehaus. The principal nature of Mr. Driehaus’ business is investment advisory and distribution services. The Adviser provides office space and executive and other personnel to the Trust. The Trust pays all expenses other than those paid by the Adviser, including but not limited to printing and postage charges and securities registration and custodian fees and expenses incidental to its organization.

The advisory agreement provides that neither the Adviser nor any of its directors, officers, stockholders, agents or employees shall have any liability to the Fund or any shareholder of the Fund for any error of judgment, mistake of law or any loss arising out of any investment, or for any other act or omission in the performance by the Adviser of its duties under the agreement, except for liability resulting from willful misfeasance, bad faith or gross negligence on its part in the performance of its duties or from reckless disregard by it of its obligations and duties under the agreement.

Any expenses that are attributable solely to the organization, operation or business of the Fund shall be paid solely out of the Fund’s assets. Any expenses incurred by the Trust that are not solely attributable to a particular series are apportioned in such manner as the Adviser determines is fair and appropriate, unless otherwise specified by the Board. In return for its services, the Adviser receives a monthly fee from the Fund, computed and accrued daily, at an annual rate of 0.60% of the average daily net assets of the Fund. The Adviser has entered into a contractual agreement to waive a portion of its management fee and/or reimburse operating expenses to the extent necessary to cap the Fund’s ordinary operating expenses, excluding interest, taxes, brokerage commissions, dividends and interest on short sales, other investment-related expenses and extraordinary expenses, such as litigation and other expenses not incurred in the ordinary course of the Fund’s business at 1.20% of average daily net assets for the Investor Class and 0.95% of the average daily net assets for the Institutional Class of the Fund for a period of three years from the Fund’s commencement of operations on August 21, 2017. Pursuant to the agreement, and so long as the investment advisory agreement is in place, for a period of three years from the Fund’s commencement of operations, the Adviser is entitled to reimbursement for previously waived fees and reimbursed expenses to the extent that the Fund’s ordinary annual operating expenses remain below the respective cap for each class.

Table of Contents

Code of Ethics. The Adviser, the Trust and the Distributor have adopted a code of ethics pursuant to Rule 17j-1 under the 1940 Act. Access persons (as defined in the code of ethics) are permitted to make personal securities transactions, including transactions in securities that may be purchased or held by the Fund, subject to requirements and restrictions set forth in such code of ethics. The code of ethics contains provisions and requirements designed to identify and address certain conflicts of interest between personal investment activities and the interests of the Fund. The code of ethics also prohibits certain types of transactions absent prior approval, imposes time periods during which personal transactions may not be made in certain securities unless there is a permitted code exception, and requires the submission of broker confirmations and reporting of securities transactions. Exceptions to these and other provisions of the code of ethics may be granted in particular circumstances in accordance with stated criteria after review by appropriate personnel.

Proxy Voting. The Board has delegated to the Adviser the responsibility for determining how to vote proxies relating to the Fund’s portfolio securities, and the Adviser retains the final authority and responsibility for such voting. The Adviser has provided the Fund with a copy of its written proxy voting policy, and it documents the reasons for voting, maintains records of the Fund’s voting activities and monitors voting activity for potential conflicts of interest.

In order to facilitate this proxy voting process, the Adviser has retained a proxy voting service to assist the firm with in-depth proxy research, vote execution, and the necessary record keeping. The proxy voting service is an investment adviser that specializes in providing a variety of fiduciary-level services related to proxy voting. In addition to analyses, the proxy voting service delivers to the Adviser voting reports that reflect the Fund’s voting activities, enabling the Fund to monitor voting activities performed by the Adviser.

The Adviser’s proxy voting policy sets forth the general voting guidelines that the proxy voting service follows on various types of issues when there are no company-specific reasons for voting to the contrary. In making the proxy voting decision, there are two overriding considerations: first, the economic impact of the proposal; and second, whether it would be in the best interests of the Fund for the proposal to pass or not pass. The proxy voting service performs company-by-company analyses, which means that all votes are reviewed on a case-by-case basis and no issues are considered routine. Each issue is considered in the context of the company under review. The Adviser generally follows the proxy voting service’s recommendations and does not use its discretion in the proxy voting decision. For this reason, proxies are voted in the Fund’s best interests, in accordance with a predetermined policy based upon recommendations of an independent third party, and are not affected by any potential or actual conflict of interest of the Adviser.

Information regarding how the Fund voted proxies during the 12-month period ended June 30th is available without charge, upon request, by calling 1-800-560-6111. This information is also available on the Fund’s web site at www.driehaus.com and on the SEC’s web site at www.sec.gov.

Trade Allocation. The Adviser manages not only the Fund but other investment accounts, including accounts of affiliated persons of the Adviser. Simultaneous transactions may occur when the Fund and investment accounts are managed by the same investment adviser and the same security is suitable for the investment objective of more than one Fund or investment account. When two or more investment accounts are simultaneously engaged in the purchase or sale of the same security, including initial public offerings (“IPOs”), the prices and amounts are allocated in accordance with procedures, established by the Adviser, and believed to be appropriate and equitable for each investment account. In some cases, this process could have a detrimental effect on the price or value of the security as far as the Fund is concerned. In other cases, however, the ability of the Fund to participate in volume transactions may produce better executions and prices for the Fund.

Portfolio Managers

Description of Compensation. The portfolio manager and assistant portfolio manager are each paid a fixed salary plus a bonus. They each receive bonuses which are based on a percentage of management fees paid by the registered investment companies and other accounts managed, as applicable. In addition, if the performance of the Fund exceeds certain percentile benchmarks when compared to its peer group (primarily using Lipper rankings) and/or certain risk adjusted return formulas, they each earn a specified additional percentage of the management fees paid by the registered investment companies and other accounts managed. They also each receive a bonus based on a percentage of any performance-based fees paid by the registered investment companies and other accounts managed, if applicable. Mr. Buck also receives a bonus based on a percentage of his salary, which has both subjective and objective components.

If the Adviser declares a profit sharing plan contribution, the portfolio manager and assistant portfolio manager also would receive such contribution. They are both eligible to participate in an equity purchase plan available to certain key employees of the Adviser. Mr. James is also a participant in a deferred compensation plan.

Other Accounts. The table below discloses other accounts for which the portfolio manager and assistant portfolio manager are primarily responsible for the day-to-day portfolio management as of December 31, 2016.

As shown in the table above, the portfolio managers may manage the assets of more than one registered investment company (each a “Fund”), other pooled investment vehicles and/or other accounts (collectively, the “Accounts”) for the Adviser. Both clients and affiliated persons of the Adviser, including the portfolio managers, may own interests in these Accounts. The same or related securities may be appropriate and desirable investments for both the Fund and the Accounts (including another fund) and they may compete in the marketplace for the same investment opportunities, which may be limited. In addition, transactions by the Accounts in securities held by the Fund or that the Fund is seeking to buy or sell (or transactions in related securities) may have an adverse impact on the prices that the Fund pays for those securities or can realize upon sale, or on the ability of the Adviser to buy or sell the desired amount of such securities for the Fund at favorable prices. This is particularly true when the Accounts’ transactions occur at a point in time close to when trades in the same or related securities are effected for the Fund. This presents a conflict between the interests of the Fund and the interests of the Accounts as well as the affiliates of the Adviser who invest in the Accounts.

Conflicts also may arise between the interests of the Fund and the interests of the Adviser and its

 

24


Table of Contents

affiliates, including the portfolio managers. These conflicts can occur as one or more of the Accounts pay advisory fees to the Adviser, including performance-based compensation, at a higher rate than the rate of fees paid by the Fund. In addition, the Adviser’s affiliates, including the Fund’s portfolio managers, may personally own interests in the Accounts or have other financial incentives (including that a portfolio manager’s compensation is based, in part, on assets under management). For example, portfolio managers could favor an Account over the Fund when dividing their time and attention between them or when presented with limited investment opportunities that would be desirable and suitable for both the Fund and the Accounts or when making trading decisions.

The Adviser, through trade allocation and other policies and procedures, seeks to manage these conflicts of interest to reduce any adverse effects on either the Fund or the Accounts. These policies and procedures include requirements that transactions by the Fund and the Accounts in the same securities that occur on the same day are average priced when feasible and allocated on a fair and equitable basis. In addition, the Adviser conducts periodic reviews of transactions in and holdings of the same or related securities by the Fund and the Accounts for compliance with the Adviser’s policies and procedures.

Securities Ownership. As of the date of this SAI, Messrs. James and Buck did not own any shares of the Fund since the Fund had not yet commenced operations.

DISTRIBUTOR

The shares of the Fund are distributed by DS LLC, 25 East Erie Street, Chicago, Illinois 60611, under a Distribution Agreement with the Trust. DS LLC is an affiliate of the Adviser because both entities are controlled by Richard H. Driehaus. The Distribution Agreement had an initial period of two years and continues in effect thereafter from year to year, provided such continuance is approved annually (i) by a majority of the Trustees or by a majority of the outstanding voting securities of the Trust, and (ii) by a majority of the Trustees who are not parties to the agreement or interested persons of any such party. The Trust has agreed to pay all expenses in connection with registration of its shares with the SEC and auditing and filing fees in connection with registration of its shares under the various state blue sky laws and assumes the cost of preparation of prospectuses and other expenses.

As agent, DS LLC will offer shares of the Fund on a continuous basis to investors in states where the shares are qualified for sale, at net asset value, without sales commissions or other sales load to the investor. In addition, no sales commission or “12b-1 fees” are paid by the Fund. As principal underwriter to the Trust, DS LLC enters into arrangements with selected dealers or other third parties for the sale and redemption of Fund shares and makes payments to such entities for distribution related activities as well as shareholder and administrative services to customers who purchase Fund shares, including sub-accounting and sub-transfer agency services. DS LLC will offer the Fund’s shares only on a best-efforts basis.

ADMINISTRATOR

BNY Mellon Investment Servicing (US) Inc. (“BNY Mellon”), with corporate offices at 301 Bellevue Parkway, Wilmington, Delaware 19809, is the administrator for the Fund. The asset-based fee for administration and accounting services for the Fund is calculated as follows:

0.07% of the first $200 million of average net assets;

0.06% of the next $200 million of average net assets;

0.05% of the next $200 million of average net assets; and

0.04% of average net assets in excess of $600 million;

and a base annual fee of $30,000.

In addition, BNY Mellon is also reimbursed for out-of-pocket expenses.

The Custodian is responsible for holding all securities and cash of the Fund, receiving and paying for securities purchased, delivering against payment securities sold, receiving and collecting income from investments and performing other administrative duties, all as directed by authorized persons. The Custodian does not exercise any supervisory function in such matters as purchase and sale of portfolio securities, payment of dividends or payment of expenses of the Fund.

Portfolio securities purchased in the U.S. are maintained in the custody of the Custodian or of other domestic banks or depositories. The Fund may invest in obligations of the Custodian and may purchase or sell securities from or to the Custodian.

TRANSFER AGENT

BNY Mellon, 760 Moore Road, King of Prussia, Pennsylvania 19406, is the Fund’s transfer agent, registrar, dividend-disbursing agent and shareholder servicing agent. As such, BNY Mellon provides certain bookkeeping and data processing services and services pertaining to the maintenance of shareholder accounts.

OTHER SHAREHOLDER SERVICES

The Fund has adopted a Shareholder Services Plan for the Investor Shares that authorizes the Fund to make payments for services provided on behalf of the Fund. Payments may be made to banks, other institutions and service professionals (including investment advisers and broker-dealers) and other entities for certain services to investors in the Fund. Such services may include, but shall not be limited to: transfer agent and sub-transfer agent services; aggregating and processing purchase and redemption orders; providing periodic statements; receiving and transmitting funds; processing dividend payments; providing sub-accounting services; forwarding shareholder communications; receiving, tabulating and transmitting proxies; responding to inquiries and performing such other related services as the Fund may request. The Plan allows for annual payments not to exceed 0.25% of the Fund’s Investor class average daily net assets.

FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

As of the date of this SAI, the Fund has not yet commenced operations and, therefore, it does not have any financial statements. The Fund’s financial statements will be available beginning with the annual report dated December 31, 2017.

Simultaneous with the commencement of the Fund’s operations, the Fund succeeded to the assets of the Predecessor Limited Partnerships, which were managed by the same portfolio management team as the Fund. The Predecessor Limited Partnerships were managed by the Adviser with substantially the same investment objective, policies and philosophies as are followed by the Fund. The Predecessor Limited Partnerships’ audited financial information for the years ended December 31, 2016 and December 31,

2015 is included at Appendix B.

PORTFOLIO TRANSACTIONS

The Adviser’s overriding objective in effecting portfolio transactions is to seek to obtain the best combination of price and execution with a view to providing the Fund the most favorable terms reasonably available under the circumstances. The best price, giving effect to brokerage commissions, if any, and other transaction costs, normally is an important factor in this decision, but a number of other judgmental factors may also enter into the decision. These factors include the Adviser’s knowledge of: negotiated commission rates currently available and other current transaction costs; the nature of the security being traded; the size of the transaction; the desired timing of the trade; the activity existing and expected in the market for the particular security; confidentiality; the execution, clearance and settlement capabilities of the broker or dealer selected and others which are considered; the financial stability of the broker or dealer selected and such other brokers or dealers; and actual or apparent operational problems of any broker or dealer. Recognizing the value of these factors, the Adviser may cause a Fund to pay a brokerage commission in excess of that which another broker or dealer may have charged for effecting the same transaction, provided that the Adviser determines in good faith that the commission is reasonable in relation to the services received. Evaluations of the reasonableness of brokerage commissions, based on the foregoing factors, are made on an ongoing basis by the Adviser’s staff while effecting portfolio transactions.

To the extent directed by management of the Fund, the Adviser will execute purchases and sales of portfolio securities for the Fund through brokers or dealers for the purpose of providing direct benefits to the Fund, subject to the Adviser seeking best execution. However, brokerage commissions or transaction costs in such transactions may be higher, and the Fund may receive less favorable prices than those which the Adviser could obtain from another broker or dealer, in order to obtain such benefits for the Fund.

With respect to issues of securities involving brokerage commissions, when more than one broker or dealer is believed to be capable of providing the best combination of price and execution with respect to a particular portfolio transaction for the Fund, the Adviser may select a broker or dealer that furnishes it with brokerage or research services such as research reports, subscriptions to financial publications and research compilations, compilations of securities prices, earnings, dividends and similar data, computer data bases, quotation equipment and services, research-oriented computer software and services, monitoring and reporting services, and services of economic and other consultants consistent with Section 28(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. As a result of such research, the Adviser may cause the Fund to pay commissions that are higher than otherwise obtainable from other brokers, provided that the Adviser determines in good faith that the commissions are reasonable in relation to the brokerage or research services provided by the broker. Selection of brokers or dealers is not made pursuant to an agreement or understanding with any of the brokers or dealers; however, the Adviser uses an internal allocation procedure to identify those brokers or dealers who provide it with research products or services

 

27


Table of Contents

and the amount of research products or services they provide, and endeavors to direct sufficient commissions generated by its clients’ accounts in the aggregate, including the Fund, to ensure the continued receipt of research products or services the Adviser feels are useful. In certain instances, the Adviser may receive from brokers and dealers products or services that are used both as investment research and for administrative, marketing or other nonresearch purposes. In such instances, the Adviser will make a good faith effort to determine the relative proportions of such products or services which may be considered as investment research, and this allocation process poses a potential conflict of interest to the Adviser. The portion of the costs of such products or services attributable to research usage may be defrayed by the Adviser (without prior agreement or understanding, as noted above) through brokerage commissions generated by transactions by clients (including the Fund), while the portions of the costs attributable to nonresearch usage of such products or services is paid by the Adviser in cash. Research products or services furnished by brokers and dealers may be used in servicing any or all of the clients of the Adviser, and not all such research products or services are used in connection with the management of the Fund. Information received from brokers by the Adviser will be in addition to, and not in lieu of, the services required to be performed under the advisory agreement. Any advisory or other fees paid to the Adviser are not reduced as a result of the receipt of research services.

ADDITIONAL U.S. FEDERAL INCOME TAX CONSIDERATIONS

The following is intended to be a general summary of certain U.S. federal income tax consequences of investing in the Fund. It is not intended to be a complete discussion of all such consequences, nor does it purport to deal with all categories of investors. This discussion reflects the applicable federal income tax laws of the United States as of the date of this SAI, which tax laws may change or be subject to new interpretation by the courts or the Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”), possibly with retroactive effect.

The Fund is treated as a separate entity for federal income tax purposes and intends to comply with the provisions of Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), to permit it to be treated as a regulated investment company. Such provisions generally relieve the Fund of federal income tax to the extent its investment company taxable income (determined without regard to the deduction for dividends paid by the Fund) and net capital gains (i.e., the excess of net long-term capital gains over the sum of net short-term capital losses and capital loss carryforwards available from prior years) are currently distributed to shareholders. In order to qualify for such provisions, the Fund must, among other things, maintain a diversified portfolio, which requires that at the close of each quarter of the taxable year (i) at least 50% of the market value of its total assets is represented by cash or cash items, U.S. government securities, securities of other regulated investment companies and securities of other issuers with such other securities limited, in respect of any one issuer, to an amount not greater in value than 5% of the value of the Fund’s total assets and not more than 10% of the outstanding voting securities of such issuer; and (ii) not more than 25% of the market value of the total assets of the Fund are invested in the securities (other than government securities or the securities of other regulated investment companies) of any one issuer or of two or more issuers which the Fund controls and which are determined to be engaged in the same, similar or related trades or business, or the securities of one or more qualified publicly traded partnerships. The requirements for qualification as a regulated investment company may limit the extent to which the Fund may invest in some investments.

If for any taxable year the Fund does not qualify as a regulated investment company for U.S. federal income tax purposes, it would be treated as a regular corporation subject to federal income tax and distributions to its shareholders would not be deductible by the Fund in computing its taxable income. In addition, the Fund’s distributions, to the extent derived from its current or accumulated earnings and profits, would generally constitute ordinary dividends, which would generally be eligible for the dividends received deduction available to corporate shareholders under Section 243 of the Code, and individual and other noncorporate shareholders of the Fund generally would be able to treat such distributions as “qualified

dividend income” under Section 1(h)(11) of the Code, as discussed below, provided certain holding period and other requirements are satisfied.

Distributions of investment company taxable income, which includes net investment income, net short-term capital gain in excess of net long-term capital loss and certain net foreign exchange gains, are generally taxable as ordinary income to the extent of the Fund’s current and accumulated earnings and profits. Under Section 1(h)(11) of the Code, qualified dividend income received by individual and other noncorporate shareholders is taxed for federal income tax purposes at rates equivalent to long-term capital gain tax rates, which currently reach a maximum of 20%. Qualified dividend income generally includes dividends from certain domestic corporations and dividends from “qualified foreign corporations.” For these purposes, a qualified foreign corporation is a foreign corporation (i) that is incorporated in a possession of the United States or is eligible for benefits under a qualifying income tax treaty with the United States, or (ii) whose stock with respect to which such dividend is paid is readily tradable on an established securities market in the United States. A qualified foreign corporation does not include a foreign corporation which for the taxable year of the corporation in which the dividend was paid, or the preceding taxable year, is a “passive foreign investment company,” as defined in the Code.

The Fund generally can pass the federal income tax treatment of qualified dividend income it receives through to its shareholders to the extent of the aggregate qualified dividends received by the Fund. For the Fund to receive qualified dividend income, the Fund must meet certain holding period and other requirements with respect to the stock on which the otherwise qualified dividend is paid. In addition, the Fund cannot be obligated to make payments (pursuant to a short sale or otherwise) with respect to substantially similar or related property. If the Fund lends portfolio securities, amounts received by the Fund that are the equivalent of the dividends paid by the issuer on the securities loaned will not be eligible for qualified dividend income treatment. The same provisions, including the holding period requirements, apply to each shareholder’s investment in the Fund. If the Fund receives dividends from another fund that qualifies as a regulated investment company and the other fund designates such dividends as qualified dividend income, then the Fund may in turn designate that portion of its distributions derived from those dividends as qualified dividend income as well, provided the Fund meets the holding period and other requirements with respect to its shares of the other fund. Distributions of net capital gain, if any, are taxable as long-term capital gains for U.S. federal income tax purposes without regard to the length of time the shareholder has held shares of the Fund. A distribution of an amount in excess of the Fund’s current and accumulated earnings and profits, if any, will be treated by a shareholder as a tax-free return of capital which is applied against and reduces the shareholder’s basis in his, her or its shares. To the extent that the amount of any such distribution exceeds the shareholder’s basis in his, her or its shares, the excess will be treated by the shareholder as gain from the sale or exchange of shares. The U.S. federal income tax status of all distributions will be designated by the Fund and reported to shareholders annually.

Dividends declared in October, November or December to shareholders of record as of a date in such month and paid during the following January are treated as if received on December 31 of the calendar year declared.

Because dividend and capital gain distributions reduce net asset value, a shareholder who purchases shares shortly before the Fund pays a dividend or distribution will, in effect, receive a return of a portion of his, her or its investment in such dividend or distribution. The dividend or distribution would nonetheless be taxable to the shareholder (if shares are held in a taxable account), even if the net asset value of shares was reduced below such shareholder’s cost. However, for federal income tax purposes, the shareholder’s original cost would continue as his, her or its tax basis, except as set forth above with respect to returns of capital.

The Fund may engage in certain options, futures, forwards, swaps, short sales, foreign currency and other transactions. These transactions may be subject to special provisions under the Code that may accelerate or defer recognition of certain gains or losses, change the character of certain gains or losses or alter the

 

29


Table of Contents

holding periods of certain of the Fund’s portfolio securities. These rules could therefore affect the character, amount and timing of distributions made to shareholders.

For federal income tax purposes, the Fund generally is required to recognize as income for each taxable year its net unrealized capital gains and losses as of the end of the year on certain futures, futures options, non-equity options positions and certain foreign currency contracts (“year-end mark-to-market”). Generally, any gain or loss recognized with respect to such positions is considered to be 60% long-term capital gain or loss and 40% short-term capital gain or loss, without regard to the holding periods of the positions. However, in the case of positions classified as part of a “mixed straddle,” in which an election is properly made, the recognition of losses on certain positions (including options, futures and futures options positions, the related securities and certain successor positions thereto) may be deferred to a later taxable year. Sale of futures contracts or writing of call options (or futures call options) or buying put options (or futures put options) that are intended to hedge against a change in the value of securities held by the Fund: (i) will generally affect the holding period of the hedged securities; and (ii) may cause unrealized gain or loss on such securities to be recognized upon entry into the hedge.

The Fund’s entry into a short sale transaction, an option or certain other contracts could be treated as the constructive sale of an appreciated financial position, causing the Fund to realize gain, but not loss, on the position.

The Fund may enter into swaps or other notional principal contracts. Payments made or received pursuant to the terms of a notional principal contract are divided into three categories, (i) a “periodic” payment; (ii) a “nonperiodic” payment; and (iii) a “termination” payment. Periodic payments are payments made or received pursuant to a notional principal contract that are payable at intervals of one year or less during the entire term of the contract, that are based on certain types of specified indexes (which include indexes based on objective financial information), and that are based on either a single notional principal amount or a notional principal amount that varies over the term of the contract in the same proportion as the notional principal amount that measures the other party’s payments. A nonperiodic payment is any payment made or received with respect to a notional principal contract that is not a periodic payment or a “termination payment.” All taxpayers, regardless of their method of accounting, must generally recognize for federal income tax purposes the ratable daily portion of a periodic and a nonperiodic payment for the taxable year to which that payment relates.

The application of certain requirements for qualification as a regulated investment company and the application of certain other federal income tax rules may be unclear in some respects in connection with investments in certain derivatives and other investments. As a result, the Fund may be required to limit the extent to which it invests in such investments and it is also possible that the IRS may not agree with the Fund’s treatment of such investments. In addition, the tax treatment of derivatives and certain other investments may be affected by future legislation, Treasury Regulations and guidance issued by the IRS (which could apply retroactively) that could affect the timing, character and amount of a Fund’s income and gains and distributions to shareholders, affect whether the Fund has made sufficient distributions and otherwise satisfied the requirements to maintain its qualification as a regulated investment company and avoid federal income and excise taxes or limit the extent to which the Fund may invest in certain derivatives and other investments in the future.

If the Fund invests in certain pay-in-kind securities, zero coupon securities, deferred interest securities or, in general, any other securities with original issue discount (or with market discount if the Fund elects to include market discount in income currently), the Fund must accrue income on such investments for each taxable year, which generally will be prior to the receipt of the corresponding cash payments. However, the Fund must distribute to shareholders, at least annually, all or substantially all of its investment company taxable income (determined without regard to the deduction for dividends paid), including such accrued income, to avoid federal income and excise taxes. Therefore, the Fund may have to dispose of its

 

30


Table of Contents

portfolio securities under disadvantageous circumstances to generate cash, or may have to leverage itself by borrowing the cash, to satisfy these distribution requirements.

The Fund may also acquire market discount bonds. A market discount bond is a security acquired in the secondary market at a price below its redemption value (or its adjusted issue price if it is also an original issue discount bond). If the Fund invests in a market discount bond, it will be required to treat any gain recognized on the disposition of such market discount bond as ordinary income (instead of capital gain) to the extent of the accrued market discount unless the Fund elects to include the market discount in income as it accrues.

The Fund’s investment in lower-rated or unrated debt securities may present issues for the Fund if the issuers of these securities default on their obligations because the federal income tax consequences to a holder of such securities are not certain.

Generally, the character of the income or capital gains that the Fund receives from another investment company will pass through to the Fund’s shareholders as long as the Fund and the other investment company each qualify as regulated investment companies. However, to the extent that another investment company that qualifies as a regulated investment company realizes net losses on its investments for a given taxable year, the Fund will not be able to recognize its share of those losses until it disposes of shares of such investment company. Moreover, even when the Fund does make such a disposition, a portion of its loss may be recognized as a long-term capital loss, which will not be treated as favorably for federal income tax purposes. As a result of the foregoing rules, and certain other special rules, it is possible that the amounts of net investment income and net capital gains that the Fund will be required to distribute to shareholders will be greater than such amounts would have been had the Fund invested directly in the securities held by the investment companies in which it invests, rather than investing in shares of the investment companies. For similar reasons, the character of distributions from the Fund (e.g., long-term capital gain, qualified dividend income, etc.) will not necessarily be the same as it would have been had the Fund invested directly in the securities held by the investment companies in which it invests.

The Fund anticipates distributing to shareholders annually all net capital gains, if any, that have been recognized for federal income tax purposes including year-end mark-to-market gains. Shareholders will be advised of the nature of these payments.

To the extent the Fund invests in foreign securities, it may be subject to withholding and other taxes imposed by foreign countries. Tax treaties between certain countries and the United States may reduce or eliminate such taxes. Because the amount of the Fund’s investments in various countries will change from time to time, it is not possible to determine the effective rate of such taxes in advance. The Fund does not expect to qualify to make an election to pass such taxes through to shareholders. As a result, the net investment income of the Fund will be reduced by the foreign taxes paid by the Fund and shareholders will not be required to include in their gross income and will not be able to claim a credit or deduction for their pro rata share of foreign taxes paid by the Fund.

The Fund is subject to a nondeductible 4% federal excise tax on the excess of the required distribution for a calendar year over the distributed amount for such calendar year. The required distribution is the sum of 98% of the Fund’s ordinary income for the calendar year plus 98.2% of its capital gain net income for the one-year period ending October 31, plus any undistributed amounts from prior calendar years, minus any overdistribution from prior calendar years. For purposes of calculating the required distribution, foreign currency gains or losses occurring after October 31 are taken into account in the following calendar year. The Fund intends to declare or distribute dividends during the appropriate periods of an amount sufficient to prevent imposition of this 4% excise tax.

Table of Contents

A shareholder who redeems or exchanges shares of the Fund will generally recognize capital gain or loss for federal income tax purposes measured by the difference between the value of the shares redeemed or exchanged and the basis of such shares. If a shareholder held such shares for more than one year, the gain, if any, will be a long-term capital gain. Long-term capital gain is taxable to individual and other non-corporate shareholders at a maximum federal income tax rate of 20%. The gain or loss on shares held for one year or less will generally be treated as short-term capital gain or loss.    If a shareholder realizes a loss on the redemption of the Fund’s shares and reinvests in substantially identical shares of the Fund (including through dividend reinvestment) or other substantially identical stock or securities within 30 days before or after the redemption, the transactions may be subject to the “wash sale” rules resulting in a postponement of the recognition of such loss for federal income tax purposes. In such a case, the basis of the shares acquired will be adjusted to reflect the disallowed loss. Any loss realized on the redemption of Fund shares held for six months or less will be treated as long-term capital loss to the extent of any long-term capital gain distributions received by the shareholder with respect to such shares. Capital losses may be subject to limitations on their use by a shareholder.

An additional 3.8% Medicare tax is imposed on certain net investment income (including ordinary dividends and capital gain distributions received from the Fund and net gains from redemptions or other taxable dispositions of Fund shares) of U.S. individuals, estates and trusts to the extent that such person’s “modified adjusted gross income” (in the case of an individual) or “adjusted gross income” (in the case of an estate or trust) exceeds a threshold amount.

Withholding. The Fund may be required to withhold, for U.S. federal income tax purposes, a portion of all distributions and redemption proceeds payable to a shareholder who fails to provide the Fund with his or her correct taxpayer identification number or who fails to make required certifications or if the Fund or a shareholder has been notified by the IRS that the shareholder is subject to backup withholding. Certain corporate and other shareholders specified in the Code and the regulations thereunder are exempt from backup withholding. Backup withholding is not an additional tax. Any amounts withheld may be credited against the shareholder’s U.S. federal income tax liability on such shareholder’s federal income tax return.

Cost Basis Information. The Fund is required to report to you and the IRS annually on Form 1099-B the cost basis of shares purchased or acquired on or after January 1, 2012 (referred to as “covered shares”) and which are disposed of after that date. However, cost basis reporting is not required for certain shareholders, including shareholders investing in the Funds through a tax-advantaged arrangement, such as a 401(k) or an IRA.

When required to report cost basis, the Fund will calculate it using the Fund’s default method, which is the average cost basis, unless you instruct the Fund to use a different calculation method. For additional information regarding the Fund’s available cost basis reporting methods, including the default method, please contact the Fund. If you hold your Fund shares through a financial intermediary, please contact that intermediary with respect to reporting of cost basis and available elections for your account.

The IRS permits the use of several methods to determine the cost basis of mutual fund shares. The method used will determine which specific shares are deemed to be sold when there are multiple purchases on different dates at differing share prices, and the entire position is not sold at one time. The Fund does not recommend any particular method of determining cost basis, and the use of other methods may result in more favorable tax consequences for some shareholders. It is important that you consult with your tax advisor to determine which method is best for you and then notify the Fund if you intend to utilize a method other than the Fund’s default method for covered shares.

The Fund will compute and report the cost basis of your Fund shares sold or exchanged by taking into account all of the applicable adjustments to cost basis and holding periods as required by the Code and Treasury regulations for purposes of reporting these amounts to you and the IRS. However, the Fund is

 

32


Table of Contents

not required to, and in many cases the Fund does not possess the information to, take all possible basis, holding period or other adjustments into account in reporting cost basis information to you. Therefore, shareholders should carefully review the cost basis information provided by the Fund.

Non-U.S. shareholders, including shareholders who, with respect to the U.S., are nonresident alien individuals, may be subject to U.S. withholding tax on certain distributions (whether received in cash or shares) at a rate of 30% or such lower rate as prescribed by an applicable tax treaty. However, the Fund will generally not be required to withhold tax on any amounts paid to a non-U.S. investor with respect to dividends attributed to qualified short-term gain (i.e., the excess of net short-term capital gain over net long-term capital loss) designated as such by the Fund and dividends attributed to certain U.S. source interest income that would not be subject to federal withholding tax if earned directly by a non-U.S. person, provided such amounts are properly designated by the Fund. The Fund may choose not to designate such amounts.

Sections 1471-1474 of the Code and the U.S. Treasury and IRS guidance issued thereunder (collectively, “FATCA”) generally require the Fund to obtain information sufficient to identify the status of each of its shareholders. If a shareholder fails to provide this information or otherwise fails to comply with FATCA, the Fund may be required to withhold under FATCA at a rate of 30% with respect to that shareholder on Fund dividends and distributions and on the proceeds of the sale, redemption, or exchange of Fund shares. The Fund may disclose the information that it receives from (or concerning) its shareholders to the IRS, non-U.S. taxing authorities or other parties as necessary to comply with FATCA, related intergovernmental agreements or other applicable law or regulation. Each investor is urged to consult its tax advisor regarding the applicability of FATCA and any other reporting requirements with respect to the investor’s own situation, including investments through an intermediary.

Investors are advised to consult their own tax advisors with respect to the application to their own circumstances of the above-described general federal income taxation rules and with respect to other federal, state, local or foreign tax consequences to them before investing in the Fund’s shares.

APPENDIX A – RATINGS

Ratings in General

A rating of a rating service represents the service’s opinion as to the credit quality of the security being rated. However, the ratings are general and are not absolute standards of quality or guarantees as to the creditworthiness of an issuer. Consequently, the Adviser believes that the quality of debt securities in which the Fund may invest should be continuously reviewed and that individual analysts give different weights to the various factors involved in credit analysis. A rating is not a recommendation to purchase, sell or hold a security because it does not take into account market value or suitability for a particular investor. When a security has received a rating from more than one service, each rating should be evaluated independently. Ratings are based on current information furnished by the issuer or obtained by the rating services from other sources which they consider reliable. Ratings may be changed, suspended or withdrawn as a result of changes in or unavailability of such information, or for other reasons.

The following is a description of the characteristics of ratings of long-term corporate debt securities used by Moody’s Investors Service, Inc. (“Moody’s”) and Standard & Poor’s Corporation (“S&P”).

Ratings by Moody’s

Aaa. Obligations rated Aaa are judged to be of the highest quality, subject to the lowest level of credit risk.

Aa. Obligations rated Aa are judged to be of high quality and are subject to very low credit risk.

A. Obligations rated A are considered upper-medium grade and are subject to low credit risk.

Baa. Obligations rated Baa are judged to be medium-grade and subject to moderate credit risk and as such may possess certain speculative characteristics.

Ba. Obligations rated Ba are judged to be speculative and are subject to substantial credit risk.

B. Obligations rated B are considered speculative and are subject to high credit risk.

Caa. Obligations rated Caa are judged to be speculative of poor standing and are subject to very high credit risk.

Ca. Obligations rated Ca are highly speculative and are likely in, or very near, default, with some prospect of recovery of principal and interest.

C. Obligations rated C are the lowest rated and are typically in default, with little prospect for recovery of principal or interest.

Note: Moody’s applies numerical modifiers 1, 2 and 3 in each generic rating classification from Aa through Caa. The modifier 1 indicates that the obligation ranks in the higher end of its generic rating category; the modifier 2 indicates a mid-range ranking; and the modifier 3 indicates a ranking in the lower end of that generic rating category.

 

A-1


Table of Contents

Ratings by S&P

AAA. An obligation rated ‘AAA’ has the highest rating assigned by Standard & Poor’s. The obligor’s capacity to meet its financial commitment on the obligation is extremely strong.

AA. An obligation rated ‘AA’ differs from the highest-rated obligations only to a small degree. The obligor’s capacity to meet its financial commitment on the obligation is very strong.

A. An obligation rated ‘A’ is somewhat more susceptible to the adverse effects of changes in circumstances and economic conditions than obligations in higher-rated categories. However, the obligor’s capacity to meet its financial commitment on the obligation is still strong.

BBB. An obligation rated ‘BBB’ exhibits adequate protection parameters. However, adverse economic conditions or changing circumstances are more likely to lead to a weakened capacity of the obligor to meet its financial commitment on the obligation.

BB, B, CCC, CC, and C

Obligations rated ‘BB’, ‘B’, ‘CCC’, ‘CC’, and ‘C’ are regarded as having significant speculative characteristics. ‘BB’ indicates the least degree of speculation and ‘C’ the highest. While such obligations will likely have some quality and protective characteristics, these may be outweighed by large uncertainties or major exposures to adverse conditions.

BB. An obligation rated ‘BB’ is less vulnerable to nonpayment than other speculative issues. However, it faces major ongoing uncertainties or exposure to adverse business, financial, or economic conditions which could lead to the obligor’s inadequate capacity to meet its financial commitment on the obligation.

B. An obligation rated ‘B’ is more vulnerable to nonpayment than obligations rated ‘BB’, but the obligor currently has the capacity to meet its financial commitment on the obligation. Adverse business, financial, or economic conditions will likely impair the obligor’s capacity or willingness to meet its financial commitment on the obligation.

CCC. An obligation rated ‘CCC’ is currently vulnerable to nonpayment, and is dependent upon favorable business, financial, and economic conditions for the obligor to meet its financial commitment on the obligation. In the event of adverse business, financial, or economic conditions, the obligor is not likely to have the capacity to meet its financial commitment on the obligation.

CC. An obligation rated ‘CC’ is currently highly vulnerable to nonpayment. The ‘CC’ rating is used when a default has not yet occurred, but Standard & Poor’s expects default to be a virtual certainty, regardless of the anticipated time to default.

C. An obligation rated ‘C’ is currently highly vulnerable to nonpayment, and the obligation is expected to have lower relative seniority or lower ultimate recovery compared to obligations that are rated higher.

D. An obligation rated ‘D’ is in default or in breach of an imputed promise. The ‘D’ rating category is used when payments on an obligation are not made on the date due, unless Standard & Poor’s believes that such payments will be made within five business days in the absence of a stated grace period or within the earlier of the stated grace period or 30 calendar days. The ‘D’ rating also will be used upon the filing of a bankruptcy petition or the taking of a similar action and where default on an obligation is a virtual certainty, for example due to automatic stay provisions. An obligation’s rating is lowered to ‘D’ if it is

 

A-2

subject to a distressed exchange offer.

Plus (+) or minus (-)

The ratings from ‘AA’ to ‘CCC’ may be modified by the addition of a plus (+) or minus (-) sign to show relative standing within the major rating categories.

NR

This indicates that no rating has been requested, that there is insufficient information on which to base a rating, or that Standard & Poor’s does not rate a particular obligation as a matter of policy.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

The General Partner of Driehaus Institutional Small Cap, L.P.

We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities of Driehaus Institutional Small Cap, L.P. (the Fund), including the schedule of investments, as of December 31, 2016, and the related statements of operations and changes in partners’ capital for the year then ended. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Fund’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audit.

We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. We were not engaged to perform an audit of the Fund’s internal control over financial reporting. Our audit included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Fund’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of December 31, 2016, by correspondence with the custodian. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Driehaus Institutional Small Cap, L.P. at December 31, 2016, and the results of its operations and changes in its partners’ capital for the year then ended in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

Notes to Financial Statements

December 31, 2016

 

 

1. Organization and Business

Driehaus Institutional Small Cap, L.P. (the “Fund”) is a limited partnership, which commenced operations on January 1, 1990. The primary purpose of the Fund is to generate capital appreciation by investing, trading, and otherwise dealing in domestic small capitalization equity securities of high-growth companies. The Fund generally invests in U.S. companies with market capitalizations similar to companies included in the Russell 2000 Growth Index or other small cap indices at the time of purchase. However, a material portion of the portfolio of the Fund may be invested in companies with market capitalizations that preclude their inclusion in such indices. At December 31, 2016, 94.21% of the Fund’s partners’ capital was invested in U.S. companies and 6.77% of the Fund’s partners’ capital was invested in U.S. listed securities of companies located in Cayman Islands, Great Britain, Israel, Isle of Man, Netherlands, Panama, and Taiwan.

 

2. Summary of Significant Account Policies

The following is a summary of significant accounting policies followed by the Fund in preparation of its financial statements in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”).

Securities Transactions and Investment Income

Securities transactions are recorded on a trade-date basis. Payable for securities purchased and receivable for securities sold represent unsettled security transactions. Brokerage commissions and related costs of executing transactions are included in the cost of securities. Realized gains and losses on investment transactions are recorded using the specific-identification method.

Investment Valuation

Equity securities are valued at fair value based upon the last reported sale as of the last day of the accounting period. Securities for which a market quotation is not available are valued at the last quoted sale price or by obtaining broker-dealer quotations, which may be the last bid price or the mean between the last bid and ask price. Securities, which are not actively traded, are valued on a case-by-case basis at fair value based on methodology set forth by the general partner of the Fund, Driehaus Capital Management (USVI) LLC (“DCM (USVI) LLC” or the “General Partner”). The resulting realized gain/loss and unrealized appreciation/depreciation is reflected in the statement of operations.

The Fund is subject to fair value accounting standards that define fair value, establish the framework for measuring fair value, and provide a three-level hierarchy for fair valuation based upon the inputs to the valuation as of the measurement date. The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are as follows:

 

    Level 1 – Quoted prices in active markets for identical securities.

 

    Level 2 – Significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, and credit risk).

 

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

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

The Fund held no Level 3 assets during the year ended December 31, 2016.

Investment Income and Operating Expenses

Dividends from equity securities are recognized as income on the ex-dividend date, net of non-reclaimable foreign withholding taxes. Interest income, as applicable, and operating expenses are recorded on the accrual basis.

Allocation of Partners’ Capital

Any net increase or decrease in partners’ capital resulting from operations (exclusive of management fees – see Note 6) for any given accounting period, as defined, is allocated among the General Partner and limited partners, in accordance with the terms of the Limited Partnership Agreement, based on the proportionate share of each partner’s capital to aggregate partners’ capital at the beginning of such accounting period.

Short Term Investments

Short term investments include money market mutual funds, which are priced at net asset value and categorized in level 1 of the fair value hierarchy.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of increases and decreases in partners’ capital from operations during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Investment Company

Management has evaluated the structure, objectives, and activities of the Fund and has determined that they meet the characteristics of an investment company. As such, the Fund’s financial statements apply the guidance set forth in Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 946, Financial Services – Investment Companies.

3. Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In August 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-15, Presentation of Financial Statements - Going Concern (Subtopic 205-40) (“ASU 2014-15”). The pronouncement outlines management’s responsibility regarding assessment of the Fund’s ability to continue as a going concern, even if the Fund’s liquidation is not imminent. Under this guidance, during each period in which financial statements are prepared, management needs to evaluate whether there are conditions or events that, in the aggregate, raise substantial doubt about the entity’s ability to continue as a going concern within one year after the date the financial statements are available for issuance. Substantial doubt exists if these conditions or events indicate that the entity will be unable to meet its obligations as they become due. If such conditions or events exist, management should develop a plan to mitigate or alleviate these conditions or events. Regardless of management’s plan to mitigate, certain disclosures must be made in the financial statements. The Fund has adopted the provisions of ASU 2014-15 for the period ended December 31, 2016. There is not a material impact on the Fund’s financial statements.

 

4. Financial Highlights

 

Total return

     10.38

Ratios to average limited partners’ capital:

  

Net investment loss

     (0.94 )% 

Expenses

     1.46

Portfolio turnover rate

     234.98

Total return is calculated as the change in a theoretical limited partner’s account, subject to the management fee and excluding the effects of contributions or withdrawals for the entire year. The above ratios are computed based upon the weighted average of limited partners’ capital for the Fund for the year ended December 31, 2016.

An investor’s total return and ratios to average net assets may vary from these amounts and ratios based on the timing and amount of capital transactions and fee structure.

 

5. Income Taxes

No provision for federal income taxes has been made because the taxable income or loss of the Fund is not taxable for federal income tax purposes and is included in the income tax returns of the individual partners.

The FASB’s Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes (“Tax Statement”) requires the evaluation of tax positions taken or expected to be taken in the course of preparing the Fund’s tax returns to determine whether the tax positions are “more-likely-than-not” of being sustained by the applicable tax authority. Tax positions not deemed to meet the more-likely-than-not threshold would be recorded as a tax expense in the current year. The Fund has evaluated the implications of the Tax Statement and all tax positions and has determined that no liability for tax or related interest and penalties is required to be recorded in the financial statements as of December 31, 2016. Additionally, no such liabilities are expected in the next 12 months. The Fund files tax returns with the U.S. Internal Revenue Service and various states. Each of the tax years in the four-year period ended December 31, 2016, remains subject to examination by taxing authorities.

6. Related Parties

Richard H. Driehaus is the chairman of DCM (USVI) LLC. Richard H. Driehaus is also chairman of Driehaus Capital Management LLC (“DCM LLC”), a registered investment adviser.

DCM LLC serves as investment adviser to the Fund. DCM LLC advises other investment partnerships and various other accounts with similar investment objectives, and trades are allocated accordingly. The Limited Partnership Agreement permits the adviser to charge a monthly management fee for these services equal to 1/12 of 1.5% (1.5% annualized) of partners’ capital of the Fund, valued as of the last business day of each calendar month. The management fee is lowered to 1/12 of 1% (1% annualized) of the portion of individual partners’ capital balances in excess of $3,000,000. DCM LLC, in its sole and absolute discretion, has and may elect to reduce, waive, or calculate differently the management fee with respect to certain limited partners, including, without limitation, limited partners that are affiliates or employees of DCM LLC and companies controlled by Richard H. Driehaus. The total management fee for the year ended December 31, 2016, was $245,276, of which $63,003 was payable as of year-end and is included in payable to affiliate in the statement of assets and liabilities. This fee is allocated proportionately only to those partners subject to management fees.

As of December 31, 2016, the General Partner’s capital balance represents 2.7% of partners’ capital. Also, as of December 31, 2016, capital balances of limited partners who are affiliates of the General Partner represent 14.0% of partners’ capital.

 

7. Indemnifications

Consistent with standard business practices, the Fund has provided general indemnification to the General Partner, DCM LLC, and any of their respective affiliates, associates, employees, or agents when it acts, in good faith, in the best interest of the Fund. The Fund expects the risk of having to make any payments under these general business indemnifications to be remote.

 

8. Capital Contributions and Withdrawals

The Fund accepts partner contributions on the first business day of each month subject to the Fund’s Limited Partnership Agreement. The General Partner, in its sole discretion, may reject any subscription in whole or in part for any reason. The minimum initial contribution amount for each limited partner is $500,000, subject to the discretion of the General Partner to accept smaller contributions.

Generally, upon timely written notification to the General Partner, partners may redeem all or any portion of their capital account as of the end of any calendar month. Redemptions are subject to certain restrictions and charges as outlined in the Fund’s Limited Partnership Agreement. The General Partner may suspend a limited partner’s redemption rights, in its sole discretion.

 

9. Investment Transactions

The aggregate purchases and sales of investment securities, other than short-term obligations, for the year ended December 31, 2016 were $47,765,730 and $50,942,561, respectively.

10. Subsequent Events

From January 1, 2017 through April 20, 2017, a capital contribution of $36,000 was received from a partner and capital withdrawals of $23,000 were disbursed to partners.

The Fund has evaluated events or transactions through April 20, 2017, the date the financial statements were available to be issued, and has determined that there are no subsequent events that require recognition or disclosure in the financial statements, other than as disclosed above.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

The General Partner of Driehaus Small Cap Investors, L.P.

We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities of Driehaus Small Cap Investors, L.P. (the Fund), including the schedule of investments, as of December 31, 2016, and the related statements of operations and changes in partners’ capital for the year then ended. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Fund’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audit.

We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. We were not engaged to perform an audit of the Fund’s internal control over financial reporting. Our audit included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Fund’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of December 31, 2016, by correspondence with the custodian. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Driehaus Small Cap Investors, L.P. at December 31, 2016, and the results of its operations and changes in its partners’ capital for the year then ended in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

Notes to Financial Statements

December 31, 2016

 

 

1. Organization and Business

Driehaus Small Cap Investors, L.P. (the “Fund”) is a limited partnership, which commenced operations on August 1, 1999. The primary purpose of the Fund is to generate capital appreciation by investing, trading, and otherwise dealing in domestic small capitalization equity securities of high-growth companies. The Fund generally invests in U.S. companies with market capitalizations similar to companies included in the Russell 2000 Growth Index or other small cap indices at the time of purchase. However, a material portion of the portfolio of the Fund may be invested in companies with market capitalizations that preclude their inclusion in such indices. At December 31, 2016, 93.75% of the Fund’s partners’ capital was invested in U.S. companies and 6.74% of the Fund’s partners’ capital was invested in U.S. listed securities of companies located in Cayman Islands, Great Britain, Isle of Man, Israel, Netherlands, Panama, and Taiwan.

 

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

The following is a summary of significant accounting policies followed by the Fund in preparation of its financial statements in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”).

Securities Transactions and Investment Income

Securities transactions are recorded on a trade-date basis. Payables for securities purchased and receivables for securities sold represent unsettled security transactions. Brokerage commissions and related costs of executing transactions are included in the cost of securities. Realized gains and losses on investment transactions are recorded using the specific-identification method.

Investment Valuation

Equity securities are valued at fair value based upon the last reported sale as of the last day of the accounting period. Securities for which a market quotation is not available are valued at the last quoted sale price or by obtaining broker-dealer quotations, which may be the last bid price or the mean between the last bid and ask price. Securities, which are not actively traded, are valued on a case-by-case basis at fair value based on methodology set forth by the general partner of the Fund, Driehaus Capital Management (USVI) LLC (“DCM (USVI) LLC” or the “General Partner”). The resulting realized gain/loss and change in net unrealized appreciation/depreciation is reflected in the statement of operations.

The Fund is subject to fair value accounting standards that define fair value, establish the framework for measuring fair value, and provide a three-level hierarchy for fair valuation based upon the inputs to the valuation as of the measurement date. The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are as follows:

 

    Level 1 – Quoted prices in active markets for identical securities.

 

    Level 2 – Significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, and credit risk).

 

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

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

The Fund held no Level 3 assets during the year ended December 31, 2016.

Investment Income and Operating Expenses

Dividends from equity securities are recognized as income on the ex-dividend date, net of non-reclaimable foreign withholding taxes. Interest income, as applicable, and operating expenses are recorded on the accrual basis.

Allocation of Partners’ Capital

Any net increase or decrease in partners’ capital resulting from operations (exclusive of management fees – see Note 6) for any given accounting period, as defined, is allocated among the General Partner and limited partners, in accordance with the terms of the Limited Partnership Agreement, based on the proportionate share of each partner’s capital to aggregate partners’ capital at the beginning of such accounting period.

Short Term Investments

Short term investments include money market mutual funds, which are priced at net asset value and categorized in level 1 of the fair value hierarchy.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of increases and decreases in partners’ capital from operations during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Investment Company

Management has evaluated the structure, objectives, and activities of the Fund and has determined that they meet the characteristics of an investment company. As such, the Fund’s financial statements apply the guidance set forth in Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 946, Financial Services – Investment Companies.

3. Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In August 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-15, Presentation of Financial Statements - Going Concern (Subtopic 205-40) (“ASU 2014-15”). The pronouncement outlines management’s responsibility regarding assessment of the Fund’s ability to continue as a going concern, even if the Fund’s liquidation is not imminent. Under this guidance, during each period in which financial statements are prepared, management needs to evaluate whether there are conditions or events that, in the aggregate, raise substantial doubt about the entity’s ability to continue as a going concern within one year after the date the financial statements are available for issuance. Substantial doubt exists if these conditions or events indicate that the entity will be unable to meet its obligations as they become due. If such conditions or events exist, management should develop a plan to mitigate or alleviate these conditions or events. Regardless of management’s plan to mitigate, certain disclosures must be made in the financial statements. The Fund has adopted the provisions of ASU 2014-15 for the period ended December 31, 2016. There is not a material impact on the Fund’s financial statements.    

 

4. Financial Highlights

 

Total return

     8.15

Ratios to average limited partners’ capital:

  

Net investment loss

     (2.82 )% 

Expenses

     3.37

Portfolio turnover rate

     234.57

Total return is calculated as the change in a theoretical limited partner’s account, subject to the management fee and excluding the effects of contributions or withdrawals for the entire year. The above ratios are computed based upon the weighted average of limited partners’ capital for the Fund for the year ended December 31, 2016.

An investor’s total return and ratios to average net assets may vary from these amounts and ratios based on the timing and amount of capital transactions and fee structure.

 

5. Income Taxes

No provision for federal income taxes has been made because the taxable income or loss of the Fund is not taxable for federal income tax purposes and is included in the income tax returns of the individual partners.

The FASB’s Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes (“Tax Statement”) requires the evaluation of tax positions taken or expected to be taken in the course of preparing the Fund’s tax returns to determine whether the tax positions are “more-likely-than-not” of being sustained by the applicable tax authority. Tax positions not deemed to meet the more-likely-than-not threshold would be recorded as a tax expense in the current year. The Fund has evaluated the implications of the Tax Statement and all tax positions and has determined that no liability for tax or related interest and penalties is required to be recorded in the financial statements as of December 31, 2016. Additionally, no such liabilities are expected in the next 12 months. The Fund files tax returns with the U.S. Internal Revenue Service and various states. Each of the tax years in the four-year period ended December 31, 2016, remains subject to examination by taxing authorities.

6. Related Parties

Richard H. Driehaus is the chairman of DCM (USVI) LLC. Richard H. Driehaus is also chairman of Driehaus Capital Management LLC (“DCM LLC”), a registered investment adviser.

DCM LLC serves as investment adviser to the Fund. DCM LLC advises other investment partnerships and various other accounts with similar investment objectives, and trades are allocated accordingly. The Limited Partnership Agreement permits the adviser to charge a monthly management fee for these services equal to 1/12 of 2% (2% annualized) of partners’ capital of the Fund, valued as of the last business day of each calendar month. DCM LLC, in its sole and absolute discretion, has and may elect to reduce, waive, or calculate differently the management fee with respect to certain limited partners, including, without limitation, limited partners that are affiliates or employees of DCM LLC or companies controlled by Richard H. Driehaus. The total management fee for the year ended December 31, 2016, was $35,143 of which $9,874 was payable at year-end and is included in payable to affiliate in the statement of assets and liabilities. This fee is allocated proportionately only to those partners subject to management fees.

As of December 31, 2016, the General Partner’s capital balance represents 16.9% of partners’ capital. Also, as of December 31, 2016, capital balances of limited partners who are affiliates of the General Partner represent 11.3% of partners’ capital.

 

7. Indemnifications

Consistent with standard business practices, the Fund has provided general indemnification to the General Partner, DCM LLC, and any of their respective affiliates, associates, employees, or agents when it acts, in good faith, in the best interest of the Fund. The Fund expects the risk of having to make any payments under these general business indemnifications to be remote.

 

8. Capital Contributions and Withdrawals

The Fund accepts partner contributions on the first business day of each month subject to the Fund’s Limited Partnership Agreement. The General Partner, in its sole discretion, may reject any subscription in whole or in part for any reason. The minimum initial contribution amount for each limited partner is $150,000, subject to the discretion of the General Partner to accept smaller contributions.

Generally, upon timely written notification to the General Partner, partners may redeem all or any portion of their capital account as of the end of any calendar month. Redemptions are subject to certain restrictions and charges as outlined in the Fund’s Limited Partnership Agreement. The General Partner may suspend a limited partner’s redemption rights, in its sole discretion.

 

9. Investment Transactions

The aggregate purchases and sales of investment securities, other than short-term obligations, for the year ended December 31, 2016 were $6,392,717 and $6,775,136, respectively.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

The General Partner of Driehaus Small Cap Recovery Fund, L.P.

We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities of Driehaus Small Cap Recovery Fund, L.P. (the Fund), including the schedule of investments, as of December 31, 2016, and the related statements of operations and changes in partners’ capital for the year then ended. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Fund’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audit.

We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. We were not engaged to perform an audit of the Fund’s internal control over financial reporting. Our audit included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Fund’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of December 31, 2016, by correspondence with the custodian. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Driehaus Small Cap Recovery Fund, L.P. at December 31, 2016, and the results of its operations and the changes in its partners’ capital for the year then ended in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

Notes to Financial Statements

December 31, 2016

 

 

 

1. Organization and Business

Driehaus Small Cap Recovery Fund, L.P. (the “Fund”) is a limited partnership, which commenced operations on January 1, 1997. The primary purpose of the Fund is to generate capital appreciation by investing in domestic small capitalization common stocks of high-growth companies with market capitalizations similar to companies included in the Russell 2000 Growth Index or other small cap indices at the time of purchase. However, a material portion of the portfolio of the Fund may be invested in companies with market capitalizations that preclude their inclusion in such indices. At December 31, 2016, 93.30% of the Fund’s partners’ capital was invested in U.S. companies and 6.70% of the Fund’s partners’ capital was invested in U.S. listed securities of companies located in Cayman Islands, Great Britain, Israel, Isle of Man, Netherlands, Panama, and Taiwan.

 

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

The following is a summary of significant accounting policies followed by the Fund in preparation of its financial statements in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”).

Securities Transactions and Investment Income

Securities transactions are recorded on a trade-date basis. Payable for securities purchased and receivable for securities sold represent unsettled security transactions. Brokerage commissions and related costs of executing transactions are included in the cost of securities. Realized gains and losses on investment transactions are recorded using the specific-identification method.

Investment Valuation

Equity securities are valued at fair value based upon the last reported sale as of the last day of the accounting period. Securities for which a market quotation is not available are valued at the last quoted sale price or by obtaining broker-dealer quotations, which may be the last bid price or the mean between the last bid and ask price. Securities, which are not actively traded, are valued on a case-by-case basis at fair value based on methodology set forth by the general partner of the Fund, Driehaus Capital Management (USVI) LLC (“DCM (USVI) LLC” or the “General Partner”). The resulting realized gain/loss and unrealized appreciation/depreciation is reflected in the statement of operations.

The Fund is subject to fair value accounting standards that define fair value, establish the framework for measuring fair value, and provide a three-level hierarchy for fair valuation based upon the inputs to the valuation as of the measurement date. The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are as follows:

 

    Level 1 – Quoted prices in active markets for identical securities.

 

    Level 2 – Significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, and credit risk).

 

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

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

The Fund held no Level 3 assets during the year ended December 31, 2016.

Investment Income and Operating Expenses

Dividends from equity securities are recognized as income on the ex-dividend date, net of non-reclaimable foreign withholding taxes. Interest income, as applicable, and operating expenses are recorded on the accrual basis.

Allocation of Partners’ Capital

Any net increase or decrease in partners’ capital resulting from operations (exclusive of management fees – see Note 6) for any given accounting period, as defined, is allocated among the General Partner and limited partners, in accordance with the terms of the Limited Partnership Agreement, based on the proportionate share of each partner’s capital to aggregate partners’ capital at the beginning of such accounting period.

Short Term Investments

Short term investments include money market mutual funds, which are priced at net asset value and categorized in level 1 of the fair value hierarchy.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of increases and decreases in partners’ capital from operations during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Investment Company

Management has evaluated the structure, objectives, and activities of the Fund and has determined that they meet the characteristics of an investment company. As such, the Fund’s financial statements apply the guidance set forth in Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 946, Financial Services – Investment Companies.

3. Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In August 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-15, Presentation of Financial Statements - Going Concern (Subtopic 205-40) (“ASU 2014-15”). The pronouncement outlines management’s responsibility regarding assessment of the Fund’s ability to continue as a going concern, even if the Fund’s liquidation is not imminent. Under this guidance, during each period in which financial statements are prepared, management needs to evaluate whether there are conditions or events that, in the aggregate, raise substantial doubt about the entity’s ability to continue as a going concern within one year after the date the financial statements are available for issuance. Substantial doubt exists if these conditions or events indicate that the entity will be unable to meet its obligations as they become due. If such conditions or events exist, management should develop a plan to mitigate or alleviate these conditions or events. Regardless of management’s plan to mitigate, certain disclosures must be made in the financial statements. The Fund has adopted the provisions of ASU 2014-15 for the period ended December 31, 2016. There is not a material impact on the Fund’s financial statements.

 

4. Financial Highlights

 

Total return

     9.92

Ratios to average limited partners’ capital:

  

Net investment loss

     (1.35 )% 

Expenses

     1.88

Portfolio turnover rate

     235.18

Total return is calculated as the change in a theoretical limited partner’s account, subject to the management fee and excluding the effects of contributions or withdrawals for the entire year. The above ratios are computed based upon the weighted average of limited partners’ capital for the Fund for the year ended December 31, 2016.

An investor’s total return and ratios to average net assets may vary from these amounts and ratios based on the timing and amount of capital transactions and fee structure.

 

5. Income Taxes

No provision for federal income taxes has been made because the taxable income or loss of the Fund is not taxable for federal income tax purposes and is included in the income tax returns of the individual partners.

The FASB’s Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes (“Tax Statement”) requires the evaluation of tax positions taken or expected to be taken in the course of preparing the Fund’s tax returns to determine whether the tax positions are “more-likely-than-not” of being sustained by the applicable tax authority. Tax positions not deemed to meet the more-likely-than-not threshold would be recorded as a tax expense in the current year. The Fund has evaluated the implications of the Tax Statement and all tax positions and has determined that no liability for tax or related interest and penalties is required to be recorded in the financial statements as of December 31, 2016. Additionally, no such liabilities are expected in the next 12 months. The Fund files tax returns with the U.S. Internal Revenue Service and various states. Each of the tax years in the four-year period ended December 31, 2016, remains subject to examination by taxing authorities.

6. Related Parties

Richard H. Driehaus is the chairman of DCM (USVI) LLC. Richard H. Driehaus is also chairman of Driehaus Capital Management LLC (“DCM LLC”), a registered investment adviser.

DCM LLC serves as investment adviser to the Fund. DCM LLC advises other investment partnerships and various other accounts with similar investment objectives, and trades are allocated accordingly. The Limited Partnership Agreement permits the adviser to charge a monthly management fee for these services equal to 1/12 of 1.5% (1.5% annualized) of partners’ capital of the Fund, valued as of the last business day of each calendar month. The management fee is lowered to 1/12 of 1% (1% annualized) for the portion of individual partners’ capital balances in excess of $3,000,000. DCM LLC, in its sole and absolute discretion, has and may elect to reduce, waive, or calculate differently the management fee with respect to certain limited partners, including, without limitation, limited partners that are affiliates or employees of DCM LLC or companies controlled by Richard H. Driehaus. The total management fee for the year ended December 31, 2016, was $104,211, of which $26,614 was payable at year-end and is included in payable to affiliate in the statement of assets and liabilities. This fee is allocated proportionately only to those partners subject to management fees.

As of December 31, 2016, the General Partner’s capital balance represents 6.0% of partners’ capital. Also, as of December 31, 2016, capital balances of limited partners who are affiliates of the General Partner represent 2.8% of partners’ capital.

 

7. Indemnifications

Consistent with standard business practices, the Fund has provided general indemnification to the General Partner, DCM LLC, and any of their respective affiliates, associates, employees, or agents when it acts, in good faith, in the best interest of the Fund. The Fund expects the risk of having to make any payments under these general business indemnifications to be remote.

 

8. Capital Contributions and Withdrawals

The Fund accepts partner contributions on the first business day of each month subject to the Fund’s Limited Partnership Agreement. The General Partner, in its sole discretion, may reject any subscription in whole or in part for any reason. The minimum initial contribution amount for each limited partner is $250,000, subject to the discretion of the General Partner to accept smaller contributions.

Generally, upon timely written notification to the General Partner, partners may redeem all or any portion of their capital account as of the end of any calendar month. Redemptions are subject to certain restrictions and charges as outlined in the Fund’s Limited Partnership Agreement. The General Partner may suspend a limited partner’s redemption rights, in its sole discretion.

 

9. Investment Transactions

The aggregate purchases and sales of investment securities, other than short-term obligations, for the year ended December 31, 2016 were $19,755,934 and $21,443,115, respectively.

 

10. Subsequent Events

The Fund has evaluated events or transactions through April 20, 2017, the date the financial statements were available to be issued, and has determined that there are no subsequent events that require recognition or disclosure in the financial statements.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

The General Partner of Driehaus Institutional Small Cap Recovery Fund, L.P.

We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities of Driehaus Institutional Small Cap Recovery Fund, L.P. (the Fund), including the schedule of investments, as of December 31, 2016, and the related statements of operations and changes in partners’ capital for the year then ended. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Fund’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audit.

We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. We were not engaged to perform an audit of the Fund’s internal control over financial reporting. Our audit included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Fund’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of December 31, 2016, by correspondence with the custodian. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Driehaus Institutional Small Cap Recovery Fund, L.P. at December 31, 2016, and the results of its operations and changes in its partners’ capital for the year then ended in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

Notes of Financial Statements

December 31, 2016

 

 

1. Organization and Business

Driehaus Institutional Small Cap Recovery Fund, L.P. (the “Fund”) is a limited partnership, which commenced operations on November 1, 2001. The primary purpose of the Fund is to generate capital appreciation by investing in domestic small capitalization equity securities of high-growth companies with market capitalizations similar to companies included in the Russell 2000 Growth Index or other small cap indices at the time of purchase. However, a material portion of the portfolio of the Fund may be invested in companies with market capitalizations that preclude their inclusion in such indices. At December 31, 2016, 93.32% of the Fund’s partners’ capital was invested in U.S. companies and 6.71% of the Fund’s partners’ capital was invested in U.S. listed securities of companies located in Cayman Islands, Great Britain, Israel, Isle of Man, Netherlands, Panama, and Taiwan.

 

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

The following is a summary of significant accounting policies followed by the Fund in preparation of its financial statements in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”).

Securities Transactions and Investment Income

Securities transactions are recorded on a trade-date basis. Payable for securities purchased and receivable for securities sold represent unsettled security transactions. Brokerage commissions and related costs of executing transactions are included in the cost of securities. Realized gains and losses on investment transactions are recorded using the specific-identification method.

Investment Valuation

Equity securities are valued at fair value based upon the last reported sale as of the last day of the accounting period. Securities for which a market quotation is not available are valued at the last quoted sale price or by obtaining broker-dealer quotations, which may be the last bid price or the mean between the last bid and ask price. Securities, which are not actively traded, are valued on a case-by-case basis at fair value based on methodology set forth by the general partner of the Fund, Driehaus Capital Management (USVI) LLC (“DCM (USVI) LLC” or the “General Partner”). The resulting realized gain/loss and unrealized appreciation/depreciation is reflected in the statement of operations.

The Fund is subject to fair value accounting standards that define fair value, establish the framework for measuring fair value, and provide a three-level hierarchy for fair valuation based upon the inputs to the valuation as of the measurement date. The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are as follows:

 

    Level 1 – Quoted prices in active markets for identical securities.

 

    Level 2 – Significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, and credit risk).

 

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

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

The Fund held no Level 3 assets during the year ended December 31, 2016.

Investment Income and Operating Expenses

Dividends from equity securities are recognized as income on the ex-dividend date, net of non-reclaimable foreign withholding taxes. Interest income, as applicable, and operating expenses are recorded on the accrual basis.

Allocation of Partners’ Capital

Any net increase or decrease in partners’ capital resulting from operations (exclusive of management fees – see Note 6) for any given accounting period, as defined, is allocated among the General Partner and limited partners, in accordance with the terms of the Limited Partnership Agreement, based on the proportionate share of each partner’s capital to aggregate partners’ capital at the beginning of such accounting period.

Short Term Investments

Short term investments include money market mutual funds, which are priced at net asset value and categorized in level 1 of the fair value hierarchy.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of increases and decreases in partners’ capital from operations during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Investment Company

Management has evaluated the structure, objectives, and activities of the Fund and has determined that they meet the characteristics of an investment company. As such, the Fund’s financial statements apply the guidance set forth in Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 946, Financial Services – Investment Companies.

3. Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In August 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-15, Presentation of Financial Statements - Going Concern (Subtopic 205-40) (“ASU 2014-15”). The pronouncement outlines management’s responsibility regarding assessment of the Fund’s ability to continue as a going concern, even if the Fund’s liquidation is not imminent. Under this guidance, during each period in which financial statements are prepared, management needs to evaluate whether there are conditions or events that, in the aggregate, raise substantial doubt about the entity’s ability to continue as a going concern within one year after the date the financial statements are available for issuance. Substantial doubt exists if these conditions or events indicate that the entity will be unable to meet its obligations as they become due. If such conditions or events exist, management should develop a plan to mitigate or alleviate these conditions or events. Regardless of management’s plan to mitigate, certain disclosures must be made in the financial statements. The Fund has adopted the provisions of ASU 2014-15 for the period ended December 31, 2016. There is not a material impact on the Fund’s financial statements.

 

4. Financial Highlights

 

Total return

     9.72

Ratios to average limited partners’ capital:

  

Net investment loss

     (1.37 )% 

Expenses

     1.90

Portfolio turnover rate

     234.00

Total return is calculated as the change in a theoretical limited partner’s account, subject to the management fee and excluding the effects of contributions or withdrawals for the entire year. The above ratios are computed based upon the weighted average of limited partners’ capital for the Fund for the year ended December 31, 2016.

An investor’s total return and ratios to average net assets may vary from these amounts and ratios based on the timing and amount of capital transactions and fee structure.

 

5. Income Taxes

No provision for federal income taxes has been made because the taxable income or loss of the Fund is not taxable for federal income tax purposes and is included in the income tax returns of the individual partners.

The FASB’s Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes (“Tax Statement”) requires the evaluation of tax positions taken or expected to be taken in the course of preparing the Fund’s tax returns to determine whether the tax positions are “more-likely-than-not” of being sustained by the applicable tax authority. Tax positions not deemed to meet the more-likely-than-not threshold would be recorded as a tax expense in the current year. The Fund has evaluated the implications of the Tax Statement and all tax positions and has determined that no liability for tax or related interest and penalties is required to be recorded in the financial statements as of December 31, 2016. Additionally, no such liabilities are expected in the next 12 months. The Fund files tax returns with the U.S. Internal Revenue Service and various states. Each of the tax years in the four-year period ended December 31, 2016, remains subject to examination by taxing authorities.

6. Related Parties

Richard H. Driehaus is the chairman of DCM (USVI) LLC. Richard H. Driehaus is also chairman of Driehaus Capital Management LLC (“DCM LLC”), a registered investment adviser.

DCM LLC serves as investment adviser to the Fund. DCM LLC advises other investment partnerships and various other accounts with similar investment objectives, and trades are allocated accordingly. The Limited Partnership Agreement permits the adviser to charge a monthly management fee for these services equal to 1/12 of 1.5% (1.5% annualized) of partners’ capital of the Fund, valued as of the last business day of each calendar month. The management fee is lowered to 1/12 of 1% (1% annualized) for the portion of individual partners’ capital balances in excess of $3,000,000. DCM LLC, in its sole and absolute discretion, has and may elect to reduce, waive, or calculate differently the management fee with respect to certain limited partners, including, without limitation, limited partners that are affiliates or employees of DCM LLC or companies controlled by Richard H. Driehaus. The total management fee for the year ended December 31, 2016, was $56,286, of which $14,933 was payable at year-end and is included in payable to affiliate in the statement of assets and liabilities. This fee is allocated proportionately only to those partners subject to management fees.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

The General Partner of Driehaus Institutional Small Cap, L.P.

We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities of Driehaus Institutional Small Cap, L.P. (the Fund), including the schedule of investments, as of December 31, 2015, and the related statements of operations and changes in partners’ capital for the year then ended. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Fund’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audit.

We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. We were not engaged to perform an audit of the Fund’s internal control over financial reporting. Our audit included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Fund’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of December 31, 2015, by correspondence with the custodian and brokers or by other appropriate auditing procedures where replies from brokers were not received. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Driehaus Institutional Small Cap, L.P. at December 31, 2015, and the results of its operations and changes in its partners’ capital for the year then ended in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

Notes to Financial Statements

December 31, 2015

 

 

1. Organization and Business

Driehaus Institutional Small Cap, L.P. (the “Fund”) is a limited partnership, which commenced operations on January 1, 1990. The primary purpose of the Fund is to generate capital appreciation by investing, trading, and otherwise dealing in domestic small capitalization equity securities of high-growth companies. The Fund generally invests in U.S. companies with market capitalizations similar to companies included in the Russell 2000 Growth Index or other small cap indices at the time of purchase. However, a material portion of the portfolio of the Fund may be invested in companies with market capitalizations that preclude their inclusion in such indices. At December 31, 2015, 86.56% of the Fund’s partners’ capital was invested in U.S. companies and 12.87% of the Fund’s partners’ capital was invested in American Depository Receipts of companies located in Argentina, Beligum, Canada, France, Great Britain, Hong Kong, Israel, and India.

 

2. Summary of Significant Account Policies

The following is a summary of significant accounting policies followed by the Fund in preparation of its financial statements in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”).

Securities Transactions and Investment Income

Securities transactions are recorded on a trade-date basis. Payable for securities purchased and receivable for securities sold represent unsettled security transactions. Brokerage commissions and related costs of executing transactions are included in the cost of securities. Realized gains and losses on investment transactions are recorded using the specific-identification method.

Investment Valuation

Equity securities are valued at fair value based upon the last reported sale as of the last day of the accounting period. Securities for which a market quotation is not available are valued at the last quoted sale price or by obtaining broker-dealer quotations, which may be the last bid price or the mean between the last bid and ask price. Securities, which are not actively traded, are valued on a case-by-case basis at fair value based on methodology set forth by the general partner of the Fund, Driehaus Capital Management (USVI) LLC (“DCM (USVI) LLC” or the “General Partner”). The resulting realized and change in net unrealized gain and loss is reflected in the statement of operations.

The Fund is subject to fair value accounting standards that define fair value, establish the framework for measuring fair value, and provide a three-level hierarchy for fair valuation based upon the inputs to the valuation as of the measurement date. The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are as follows:

 

    Level 1 – Quoted prices in active markets for identical securities.

 

    Level 2 – Significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, and credit risk).

 

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

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

  * See schedule of investments for industry breakdown.

During the year ended December 31, 2015, there were no transfers between levels. It is the Fund’s policy to recognize transfers into and out of all levels at the end of the reporting period. The Fund held no Level 3 assets during the year ended December 31, 2015.

Short Term Investments

Short term investments include money market mutual funds, which are priced at net asset value and categorized in Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy.

Investment Income and Operating Expenses

Dividends from equity securities are recognized as income on the ex-dividend date, net of non-reclaimable foreign withholding taxes. Interest income, as applicable, and operating expenses are recorded on the accrual basis.

Allocation of Partners’ Capital

Any net increase or decrease in partners’ capital resulting from operations (exclusive of management fees – see Note 6) for any given accounting period, as defined, is allocated among the General Partner and limited partners, in accordance with the terms of the Limited Partnership Agreement, based on the proportionate share of each partner’s capital to aggregate partners’ capital at the beginning of such accounting period.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of increases and decreases in partners’ capital from operations during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Investment Company

Management has evaluated the structure, objectives, and activities of the Fund and has determined that they meet the characteristics of an investment company. As such, the Fund’s financial statements apply the guidance set forth in Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 946, Financial Services – Investment Companies.

3. Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In May 2015, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2015-07, Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820): Disclosures for Investments in Certain Entities That Calculate Net Asset Value per Share (or Its Equivalent). The amendments remove the requirement to categorize within the fair value hierarchy all investments for which fair value is measured using the net asset value per share practical expedient. The amendments also remove the requirement to make certain disclosures for all investments that are eligible to be measured at fair value using the net asset value per share practical expedient. The guidance is effective for financial statements with fiscal years beginning on or after December 15, 2016, and interim periods within those fiscal years and early adoption is permitted. The Fund adopted ASU 2015-07 effective December 31, 2015.

 

4. Financial Highlights

 

Total return

     0.70

Ratios to average limited partners’ capital:

  

Net investment loss

     (0.99 )% 

Expenses

     1.42

Total return is calculated as the change in a theoretical limited partner’s account, subject to the management fee and excluding the effects of contributions or withdrawals for the entire year. The above ratios are computed based upon the weighted average of limited partners’ capital for the Fund for the year ended December 31, 2015.

An investor’s total return and ratios to average net assets may vary from these amounts and ratios based on the timing and amount of capital transactions and fee structure.

 

5. Income Taxes

No provision for federal income taxes has been made because the taxable income or loss of the Fund is not taxable for federal income tax purposes and is included in the income tax returns of the individual partners.

The FASB’s Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes (“Tax Statement”) requires the evaluation of tax positions taken or expected to be taken in the course of preparing the Fund’s tax returns to determine whether the tax positions are “more-likely-than-not” of being sustained by the applicable tax authority. Tax positions not deemed to meet the more-likely-than-not threshold would be recorded as a tax expense in the current year. The Fund has evaluated the implications of the Tax Statement and all tax positions and has determined that no liability for tax or related interest and penalties is required to be recorded in the financial statements as of December 31, 2015. Additionally, no such liabilities are expected in the next 12 months. The Fund files tax returns with the U.S. Internal Revenue Service and various states. Each of the tax years in the four-year period ended December 31, 2015, remains subject to examination by taxing authorities.

6. Related Parties

Richard H. Driehaus is the chairman of DCM (USVI) LLC. Richard H. Driehaus is also chairman of Driehaus Capital Management LLC (“DCM LLC”), a registered investment adviser.

DCM LLC serves as investment adviser to the Fund. DCM LLC advises other investment partnerships and various other accounts with similar investment objectives, and trades are allocated accordingly. The Limited Partnership Agreement permits the adviser to charge a monthly management fee for these services equal to 1/12 of 1.5% (1.5% annualized) of partners’ capital of the Fund, valued as of the last business day of each calendar month. The management fee is lowered to 1/12 of 1% (1% annualized) of the portion of individual partners’ capital balances in excess of $3,000,000. DCM LLC, in its sole and absolute discretion, has and may elect to reduce, waive, or calculate differently the management fee with respect to certain limited partners, including, without limitation, limited partners that are affiliates or employees of DCM LLC and companies controlled by Richard H. Driehaus. The total management fee for the year ended December 31, 2015, was $288,335, of which $66,073 was payable as of year-end and is included in payable to affiliate in the statement of assets and liabilities. This fee is allocated proportionately only to those partners subject to management fees.

As of December 31, 2015, the General Partner’s capital balance represents 5.1% of partners’ capital. Also, as of December 31, 2015, capital balances of limited partners who are affiliates of the General Partner represent 14.9% of partners’ capital.

 

7. Indemnifications

Consistent with standard business practices, the Fund has provided general indemnification to the General Partner, DCM LLC, and any of their respective affiliates, associates, employees, or agents when it acts, in good faith, in the best interest of the Fund. The Fund expects the risk of having to make any payments under these general business indemnifications to be remote.

 

8. Capital Contributions and Withdrawals

The Fund accepts partner contributions on the first business day of each month subject to the Fund’s Limited Partnership Agreement. The General Partner, in its sole discretion, may reject any subscription in whole or in part for any reason. The minimum initial contribution amount for each limited partner is $500,000, subject to the discretion of the General Partner to accept smaller contributions.

Generally, upon timely written notification to the General Partner, partners may redeem all or any portion of their capital account as of the end of any calendar month. Redemptions are subject to certain restrictions and charges as outlined in the Fund’s Limited Partnership Agreement. The General Partner may suspend a limited partner’s redemption rights, in its sole discretion.

 

9. Investment Transactions

The aggregate purchases and sales of investment securities, other than short-term obligations, for the year ended December 31, 2015 were $52,746,422 and $56,949,787, respectively.

Report of Independent Auditors

The General Partner

Driehaus Small Cap Investors, L.P.

We have audited the accompanying financial statements of Driehaus Small Cap Investors, L.P., which comprise the statement of assets and liabilities, including the condensed schedule of investments, as of December 31, 2015, and the related statements of operations and changes in partners’ capital for the year then ended, and the related notes to the financial statements.

Management’s Responsibility for the Financial Statements

Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of these financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles; this includes the design, implementation and maintenance of internal control relevant to the preparation and fair presentation of financial statements that are free of material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

Auditor’s Responsibility

Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audit. We conducted our audit in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement.

An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. The procedures selected depend on the auditor’s judgment, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, the auditor considers internal control relevant to the entity’s preparation and fair presentation of the financial statements in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the entity’s internal control. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of significant accounting estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements.

We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion.

1. Organization and Business

Driehaus Small Cap Investors, L.P. (the “Fund”) is a limited partnership, which commenced operations on August 1, 1999. The primary purpose of the Fund is to generate capital appreciation by investing, trading, and otherwise dealing in domestic small capitalization equity securities of high-growth companies. The Fund generally invests in U.S. companies with market capitalizations similar to companies included in the Russell 2000 Growth Index or other small cap indices at the time of purchase. However, a material portion of the portfolio of the Fund may be invested in companies with market capitalizations that preclude their inclusion in such indices. At December 31, 2015, 87.84% of the Fund’s partners’ capital was invested in U.S. companies and 13.04% of the Fund’s partners’ capital was invested in American Depository Receipts of companies located in Argentina, Belgium, Canada, France, Great Britain, Hong Kong, Israel, and India.

 

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

The fiscal year-end of the Fund is December 31. The following is a summary of significant accounting policies followed by the Fund in preparation of its financial statements in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”).

Securities Transactions and Investment Income

Securities transactions are recorded on a trade-date basis. Payables for securities purchased and receivables for securities sold represent unsettled security transactions. Brokerage commissions and related costs of executing transactions are included in the cost of securities. Realized gains and losses on investment transactions are recorded using the specific-identification method.

Investment Valuation

Equity securities are valued at fair value based upon the last reported sale as of the last day of the accounting period. Securities for which a market quotation is not available are valued at the last quoted sale price or by obtaining broker-dealer quotations, which may be the last bid price or the mean between the last bid and ask price. Securities, which are not actively traded, are valued on a case-by-case basis at fair value based on methodology set forth by the general partner of the Fund, Driehaus Capital Management (USVI) LLC (“DCM (USVI) LLC” or the “General Partner”). The resulting realized and change in net unrealized gain and loss is reflected in the statement of operations.

The Fund is subject to fair value accounting standards that define fair value, establish the framework for measuring fair value, and provide a three-level hierarchy for fair valuation based upon the inputs to the valuation as of the measurement date. The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are as follows:

 

    Level 1 – Quoted prices in active markets for identical securities.

 

    Level 2 – Significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, and credit risk).

Investment Income and Operating Expenses

Dividends from equity securities are recognized as income on the ex-dividend date, net of non-reclaimable foreign withholding taxes. Interest income, as applicable, and operating expenses are recorded on the accrual basis.

Allocation of Partners’ Capital

Any net increase or decrease in partners’ capital resulting from operations (exclusive of management fees – see Note 6) for any given accounting period, as defined, is allocated among the General Partner and limited partners, in accordance with the terms of the Limited Partnership Agreement, based on the proportionate share of each partner’s capital to aggregate partners’ capital at the beginning of such accounting period.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents include cash and money market mutual funds, which are reported at quoted net asset value, with banks and brokers. Cash equivalents have an original or remaining maturity of 90 days or less.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of increases and decreases in partners’ capital from operations during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Management has evaluated the structure, objectives, and activities of the Fund and has determined that they meet the characteristics of an investment company.

The total management fee for the year ended December 31, 2015, was $38,205 of which $8,915 was payable at year-end and is included in payable to affiliate in the statement of assets and liabilities. This fee is allocated proportionately only to those partners subject to management fees.

As of December 31, 2015, the General Partner’s capital balance represents 29.1% of partners’ capital. Also, as of December 31, 2015, capital balances of limited partners who are affiliates of the General Partner represent 10.8% of partners’ capital.

 

7. Indemnifications

Consistent with standard business practices, the Fund has provided general indemnification to the General Partner, DCM LLC, and any of their respective affiliates, associates, employees, or agents when it acts, in good faith, in the best interest of the Fund. The Fund expects the risk of having to make any payments under these general business indemnifications to be remote.

 

8. Capital Contributions and Withdrawals

The Fund accepts partner contributions on the first business day of each month subject to the Fund’s Limited Partnership Agreement. The General Partner, in its sole discretion, may reject any subscription in whole or in part for any reason. The minimum initial contribution amount for each limited partner is $150,000, subject to the discretion of the General Partner to accept smaller contributions.

Generally, upon timely written notification to the General Partner, partners may redeem all or any portion of their capital account as of the end of any calendar month. Redemptions are subject to certain restrictions and charges as outlined in the Fund’s Limited Partnership Agreement. The General Partner may suspend a limited partner’s redemption rights, in its sole discretion.

Report of Independent Auditors

The General Partner

Driehaus Small Cap Recovery Fund, L.P.

We have audited the accompanying financial statements of Driehaus Small Cap Recovery Fund, L.P., which comprise the statement of assets and liabilities, including the condensed schedule of investments, as of December 31, 2015, and the related statements of operations and changes in partners’ capital for the year then ended, and the related notes to the financial statements.

Management’s Responsibility for the Financial Statements

Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of these financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles; this includes the design, implementation and maintenance of internal control relevant to the preparation and fair presentation of financial statements that are free of material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

Auditor’s Responsibility

Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audit. We conducted our audit in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement.

An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. The procedures selected depend on the auditor’s judgment, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, the auditor considers internal control relevant to the entity’s preparation and fair presentation of the financial statements in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the entity’s internal control. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of significant accounting estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements.

We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion.

Notes to Financial Statements

December 31, 2015

 

 

 

1. Organization and Business

Driehaus Small Cap Recovery Fund, L.P. (the “Fund”) is a limited partnership, which commenced operations on January 1, 1997. The primary purpose of the Fund is to generate capital appreciation by investing in domestic small capitalization common stocks of high-growth companies with market capitalizations similar to companies included in the Russell 2000 Growth Index or other small cap indices at the time of purchase. However, a material portion of the portfolio of the Fund may be invested in companies with market capitalizations that preclude their inclusion in such indices. At December 31, 2015, 86.84% of the Fund’s partners’ capital was invested in U.S. companies and 12.93% of the Fund’s partners’ capital was invested in American Depository Receipts of companies located in Argentina, Belgium, Canada, France, Great Britain, Hong Kong, Israel, and India.

 

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

The fiscal year-end of the Fund is December 31. The following is a summary of significant accounting policies followed by the Fund in preparation of its financial statements in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”).

Securities Transactions and Investment Income

Securities transactions are recorded on a trade-date basis. Payable for securities purchased and receivable for securities sold represent unsettled security transactions. Brokerage commissions and related costs of executing transactions are included in the cost of securities. Realized gains and losses on investment transactions are recorded using the specific-identification method.

Investment Valuation

Equity securities are valued at fair value based upon the last reported sale as of the last day of the accounting period. Securities for which a market quotation is not available are valued at the last quoted sale price or by obtaining broker-dealer quotations, which may be the last bid price or the mean between the last bid and ask price. Securities, which are not actively traded, are valued on a case-by-case basis at fair value based on methodology set forth by the general partner of the Fund, Driehaus Capital Management (USVI) LLC (“DCM (USVI) LLC” or the “General Partner”). The resulting realized and change in net unrealized gain and loss is reflected in the statement of operations.

The Fund is subject to fair value accounting standards that define fair value, establish the framework for measuring fair value, and provide a three-level hierarchy for fair valuation based upon the inputs to the valuation as of the measurement date. The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are as follows:

 

    Level 1 – Quoted prices in active markets for identical securities.

 

    Level 2 – Significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, and credit risk).

 

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

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

  * See condensed schedule of investments for industry breakdown.

The Fund held no Level 3 assets during the year ended December 31, 2015.

Investment Income and Operating Expenses

Dividends from equity securities are recognized as income on the ex-dividend date, net of non-reclaimable foreign withholding taxes. Interest income, as applicable, and operating expenses are recorded on the accrual basis.

Allocation of Partners’ Capital

Any net increase or decrease in partners’ capital resulting from operations (exclusive of management fees – see Note 6) for any given accounting period, as defined, is allocated among the General Partner and limited partners, in accordance with the terms of the Limited Partnership Agreement, based on the proportionate share of each partner’s capital to aggregate partners’ capital at the beginning of such accounting period.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents include cash and money market mutual funds, which are reported at quoted net asset value, with banks and brokers. Cash equivalents have an original or remaining maturity of 90 days or less.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of increases and decreases in partners’ capital from operations during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Investment Company

Management has evaluated the structure, objectives, and activities of the Fund and has determined that they meet the characteristics of an investment company. As such, the Fund’s financial statements apply the guidance set forth in Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 946, Financial Services – Investment Companies.

3. Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In May 2015, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2015-07, Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820): Disclosures for Investments in Certain Entities That Calculate Net Asset Value per Share (or Its Equivalent). The amendments remove the requirement to categorize within the fair value hierarchy all investments for which fair value is measured using the net asset value per share practical expedient. The amendments also remove the requirement to make certain disclosures for all investments that are eligible to be measured at fair value using the net asset value per share practical expedient. The guidance is effective for financial statements with fiscal years beginning on or after December 15, 2016, and interim periods within those fiscal years and early adoption is permitted. The Fund adopted ASU 2015-07 effective December 31, 2015.

 

4. Financial Highlights

 

Total return

     0.34

Ratios to average limited partners’ capital:

  

Net investment loss

     (1.34 )% 

Expenses

     1.75

Total return is calculated as the change in a theoretical limited partner’s account, subject to the management fee and excluding the effects of contributions or withdrawals for the entire year. The above ratios are computed based upon the weighted average of limited partners’ capital for the Fund for the year ended December 31, 2015.

An investor’s total return and ratios to average net assets may vary from these amounts and ratios based on the timing and amount of capital transactions and fee structure.

 

5. Income Taxes

No provision for federal income taxes has been made because the taxable income or loss of the Fund is not taxable for federal income tax purposes and is included in the income tax returns of the individual partners.

The FASB’s Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes (“Tax Statement”) requires the evaluation of tax positions taken or expected to be taken in the course of preparing the Fund’s tax returns to determine whether the tax positions are “more-likely-than-not” of being sustained by the applicable tax authority. Tax positions not deemed to meet the more-likely-than-not threshold would be recorded as a tax expense in the current year. The Fund has evaluated the implications of the Tax Statement and all tax positions and has determined that no liability for tax or related interest and penalties is required to be recorded in the financial statements as of December 31, 2015. Additionally, no such liabilities are expected in the next 12 months. The Fund files tax returns with the U.S. Internal Revenue Service and various states. Each of the tax years in the four-year period ended December 31, 2015, remains subject to examination by taxing authorities.

6. Related Parties

Richard H. Driehaus is the chairman of DCM (USVI) LLC. Richard H. Driehaus is also chairman of Driehaus Capital Management LLC (“DCM LLC”), a registered investment adviser.

DCM LLC serves as investment adviser to the Fund. DCM LLC advises other investment partnerships and various other accounts with similar investment objectives, and trades are allocated accordingly. The Limited Partnership Agreement permits the adviser to charge a monthly management fee for these services equal to 1/12 of 1.5% (1.5% annualized) of partners’ capital of the Fund, valued as of the last business day of each calendar month. The management fee is lowered to 1/12 of 1% (1% annualized) for the portion of individual partners’ capital balances in excess of $3,000,000. DCM LLC, in its sole and absolute discretion, has and may elect to reduce, waive, or calculate differently the management fee with respect to certain limited partners, including, without limitation, limited partners that are affiliates or employees of DCM LLC or companies controlled by Richard H. Driehaus. The total management fee for the year ended December 31, 2015, was $119,395, of which $28,814 was payable at year-end and is included in payable to affiliate in the statement of assets and liabilities. This fee is allocated proportionately only to those partners subject to management fees.

As of December 31, 2015, the General Partner’s capital balance represents 12.5% of partners’ capital. Also, as of December 31, 2015, capital balances of limited partners who are affiliates of the General Partner represent 2.9% of partners’ capital.

 

7. Indemnifications

Consistent with standard business practices, the Fund has provided general indemnification to the General Partner, DCM LLC, and any of their respective affiliates, associates, employees, or agents when it acts, in good faith, in the best interest of the Fund. The Fund expects the risk of having to make any payments under these general business indemnifications to be remote.

 

8. Capital Contributions and Withdrawals

The Fund accepts partner contributions on the first business day of each month subject to the Fund’s Limited Partnership Agreement. The General Partner, in its sole discretion, may reject any subscription in whole or in part for any reason. The minimum initial contribution amount for each limited partner is $250,000, subject to the discretion of the General Partner to accept smaller contributions.

Generally, upon timely written notification to the General Partner, partners may redeem all or any portion of their capital account as of the end of any calendar month. Redemptions are subject to certain restrictions and charges as outlined in the Fund’s Limited Partnership Agreement. The General Partner may suspend a limited partner’s redemption rights, in its sole discretion.

 

9. Investment Transactions

The aggregate purchases and sales of investment securities, other than short-term obligations, for the year ended December 31, 2015 were $21,891,889 and $23,367,914, respectively.

The General Partner

Driehaus Institutional Small Cap Recovery Fund, L.P.

Management’s Responsibility for the Financial Statements

Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of these financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles; this includes the design, implementation and maintenance of internal control relevant to the preparation and fair presentation of financial statements that are free of material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

Auditor’s Responsibility

Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audit. We conducted our audit in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement.

An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. The procedures selected depend on the auditor’s judgment, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, the auditor considers internal control relevant to the entity’s preparation and fair presentation of the financial statements in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the entity’s internal control. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of significant accounting estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements.

We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion.

Notes to Financial Statements

December 31, 2015

 

 

1. Organization and Business

Driehaus Institutional Small Cap Recovery Fund, L.P. (the “Fund”) is a limited partnership, which commenced operations on November 1, 2001. The primary purpose of the Fund is to generate capital appreciation by investing in domestic small capitalization equity securities of high-growth companies with market capitalizations similar to companies included in the Russell 2000 Growth Index or other small cap indices at the time of purchase. However, a material portion of the portfolio of the Fund may be invested in companies with market capitalizations that preclude their inclusion in such indices. At December 31, 2015, 86.91% of the Fund’s partners’ capital was invested in U.S. companies and 12.91% of the Fund’s partners’ capital was invested in American Depository Receipts of companies located in Argentina, Belgium, Canada, France, Great Britain, Hong Kong, Israel, and India.

 

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

The fiscal year-end of the Fund is December 31. The following is a summary of significant accounting policies followed by the Fund in preparation of its financial statements in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”).

Securities Transactions and Investment Income

Securities transactions are recorded on a trade-date basis. Payable for securities purchased and receivable for securities sold represent unsettled security transactions. Brokerage commissions and related costs of executing transactions are included in the cost of securities. Realized gains and losses on investment transactions are recorded using the specific-identification method.

Investment Valuation

Equity securities are valued at fair value based upon the last reported sale as of the last day of the accounting period. Securities for which a market quotation is not available are valued at the last quoted sale price or by obtaining broker-dealer quotations, which may be the last bid price or the mean between the last bid and ask price. Securities, which are not actively traded, are valued on a case-by-case basis at fair value based on methodology set forth by the general partner of the Fund, Driehaus Capital Management (USVI) LLC (“DCM (USVI) LLC” or the “General Partner”). The resulting realized and change in net unrealized gain and loss is reflected in the statement of operations.

The Fund is subject to fair value accounting standards that define fair value, establish the framework for measuring fair value, and provide a three-level hierarchy for fair valuation based upon the inputs to the valuation as of the measurement date. The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are as follows:

 

    Level 1 – Quoted prices in active markets for identical securities.

 

    Level 2 – Significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, and credit risk).

 

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

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

The Fund held no Level 3 assets during the year ended December 31, 2015.

Investment Income and Operating Expenses

Dividends from equity securities are recognized as income on the ex-dividend date, net of non-reclaimable foreign withholding taxes. Interest income, as applicable, and operating expenses are recorded on the accrual basis.

Allocation of Partners’ Capital

Any net increase or decrease in partners’ capital resulting from operations (exclusive of management fees – see Note 6) for any given accounting period, as defined, is allocated among the General Partner and limited partners, in accordance with the terms of the Limited Partnership Agreement, based on the proportionate share of each partner’s capital to aggregate partners’ capital at the beginning of such accounting period.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents include cash and money market mutual funds, which are reported at quoted net asset value, with banks and brokers. Cash equivalents have an original or remaining maturity of 90 days or less.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of increases and decreases in partners’ capital from operations during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Investment Company

Management has evaluated the structure, objectives, and activities of the Fund and has determined that they meet the characteristics of an investment company. As such, the Fund’s financial statements apply the guidance set forth in Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 946, Financial Services – Investment Companies.

3. Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In May 2015, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2015-07, Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820): Disclosures for Investments in Certain Entities That Calculate Net Asset Value per Share (or Its Equivalent). The amendments remove the requirement to categorize within the fair value hierarchy all investments for which fair value is measured using the net asset value per share practical expedient. The amendments also remove the requirement to make certain disclosures for all investments that are eligible to be measured at fair value using the net asset value per share practical expedient. The guidance is effective for financial statements with fiscal years beginning on or after December 15, 2016, and interim periods within those fiscal years and early adoption is permitted. The Fund adopted ASU 2015-07 effective December 31, 2015.

 

4. Financial Highlights

 

Total return

     0.61

Ratios to average limited partners’ capital:

  

Net investment loss

     (1.13 )% 

Expenses

     1.62

Total return is calculated as the change in a theoretical limited partner’s account, subject to the management fee and excluding the effects of contributions or withdrawals for the entire year. The above ratios are computed based upon the weighted average of limited partners’ capital for the Fund for the year ended December 31, 2015.

An investor’s total return and ratios to average net assets may vary from these amounts and ratios based on the timing and amount of capital transactions and fee structure.

 

5. Income Taxes

No provision for federal income taxes has been made because the taxable income or loss of the Fund is not taxable for federal income tax purposes and is included in the income tax returns of the individual partners.

The FASB’s Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes (“Tax Statement”) requires the evaluation of tax positions taken or expected to be taken in the course of preparing the Fund’s tax returns to determine whether the tax positions are “more-likely-than-not” of being sustained by the applicable tax authority. Tax positions not deemed to meet the more-likely-than-not threshold would be recorded as a tax expense in the current year. The Fund has evaluated the implications of the Tax Statement and all tax positions and has determined that no liability for tax or related interest and penalties is required to be recorded in the financial statements as of December 31, 2015. Additionally, no such liabilities are expected in the next 12 months. The Fund files tax returns with the U.S. Internal Revenue Service and various states. Each of the tax years in the four-year period ended December 31, 2015, remains subject to examination by taxing authorities.

6. Related Parties

Richard H. Driehaus is the chairman of DCM (USVI) LLC. Richard H. Driehaus is also chairman of Driehaus Capital Management LLC (“DCM LLC”), a registered investment adviser.

DCM LLC serves as investment adviser to the Fund. DCM LLC advises other investment partnerships and various other accounts with similar investment objectives, and trades are allocated accordingly. The Limited Partnership Agreement permits the adviser to charge a monthly management fee for these services equal to 1/12 of 1.5% (1.5% annualized) of partners’ capital of the Fund, valued as of the last business day of each calendar month. The management fee is lowered to 1/12 of 1% (1% annualized) for the portion of individual partners’ capital balances in excess of $3,000,000. DCM LLC, in its sole and absolute discretion, has and may elect to reduce, waive, or calculate differently the management fee with respect to certain limited partners, including, without limitation, limited partners that are affiliates or employees of DCM LLC or companies controlled by Richard H. Driehaus. The total management fee for the year ended December 31, 2015, was $75,755, of which $14,632 was payable at year-end and is included in payable to affiliate in the statement of assets and liabilities. This fee is allocated proportionately only to those partners subject to management fees.

As of December 31, 2015, the General Partner’s capital balance represents 20.1% of partners’ capital. Also, as of December 31, 2015, capital balances of limited partners who are affiliates of the General Partner represent 31.6% of partners’ capital.

 

7. Indemnifications

Consistent with standard business practices, the Fund has provided general indemnification to the General Partner, DCM LLC, and any of their respective affiliates, associates, employees, or agents when it acts, in good faith, in the best interest of the Fund. The Fund expects the risk of having to make any payments under these general business indemnifications to be remote.

 

8. Capital Contributions and Withdrawals

The Fund accepts partner contributions on the first business day of each month subject to the Fund’s Limited Partnership Agreement. The General Partner, in its sole discretion, may reject any subscription in whole or in part for any reason. The minimum initial contribution amount for each limited partner is $500,000, subject to the discretion of the General Partner to accept smaller contributions.

Generally, upon timely written notification to the General Partner, partners may redeem all or any portion of their capital account as of the end of any calendar month. Redemptions are subject to certain restrictions and charges as outlined in the Fund’s Limited Partnership Agreement. The General Partner may suspend a limited partner’s redemption rights, in its sole discretion.

 

9. Investment Transactions

The aggregate purchases and sales of investment securities, other than short-term obligations, for the year ended December 31, 2015 were $16,918,561 and $20,245,953, respectively.

AGREEMENT AND PLAN OF EXCHANGE

AGREEMENT AND PLAN OF EXCHANGE, dated June 8, 2017 (the “Agreement”), among Driehaus Institutional Small Cap, L.P. and Driehaus Institutional Small Cap Recovery Fund, L.P., each a Delaware limited partnership, and Driehaus Small Cap Investors, L.P., and Driehaus Small Cap Recovery Fund, L.P., each an Illinois limited partnership (each a “Partnership,” together the “Partnerships”), Driehaus Mutual Funds, a Delaware statutory trust (the “Trust”), on behalf of Driehaus Small Cap Growth Fund (the “Fund”), Driehaus Capital Management (USVI) LLC, a Delaware limited liability company, as the sole general partner of each Partnership (the “General Partner”), and Driehaus Capital Management LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (the “Adviser”).

R E C I T A L S

1. The Trust is a no-load, open-end management investment company organized as a “series mutual fund.” The Trust currently has nine series: Driehaus Emerging Markets Growth Fund, Driehaus International Small Cap Growth Fund, Driehaus Emerging Markets Small Cap Growth Fund, Driehaus Active Income Fund, Driehaus Select Credit Fund, Driehaus Micro Cap Growth Fund, Driehaus Event Driven Fund, Driehaus Frontier Emerging Markets Fund and Driehaus Multi-Asset Growth Economies Fund, and one newly created series, the Fund. The Fund has a substantially similar investment objective and substantially similar investment policies as those of each of the Partnerships.

2. The General Partner and the Board of Trustees of the Trust (the “Board”) have determined that it is in the best interests of each Partnership and the Fund, respectively, that substantially all of the assets of each Partnership be acquired by the Fund pursuant to this Agreement and in accordance with applicable law.

3. Each Partnership and the Trust desire to enter into this Agreement and Plan of Exchange.

4. The Adviser, as the investment adviser to the Fund, and the General Partner and the Adviser, as the general partner and investment adviser to each Partnership, respectively, have agreed to certain terms and conditions set forth below.

In consideration of the covenants and agreements contained in this Agreement, the parties agree as follows:

PLAN OF EXCHANGE

The exchange will be comprised of the acquisition by the Fund of substantially all of the properties and assets of each Partnership (the “Assets”), including without limitation all cash, cash equivalents, securities, receivables (including interest and dividend receivables), claims and rights of action, rights to register shares under applicable securities laws, books and records, prepaid expenses shown as assets on each Partnership’s books and other property or assets owned by each Partnership at the Exchange Time (as defined in Section 6 below), in exchange for voting Institutional class common shares of beneficial interest of the Trust relating to the


Fund (the “Fund Shares”), and the immediate liquidating distribution to the partners of each Partnership (the “Partners”), of all of the Fund Shares received by such Partnership in exchange for their interests in such Partnership (“Interests”), all upon and subject to the terms set forth in this Agreement (the “Exchange”). The Fund will not assume any of a Partnership’s liabilities, debts, obligations or duties of any kind, whether absolute, accrued, contingent, known, unknown or otherwise (the “Liabilities”), except for accounts payable for securities purchased. In each Partnership’s distribution of its Fund Shares, each Partner in such Partnership will be entitled to receive Fund Shares in accordance with the Interests owned by such Partner immediately prior to such distribution and pursuant to the terms of the Limited Partnership Agreement of the respective Partnership (each an “LP Agreement”). As soon as practicable following the Exchange, any assets retained by a Partnership in excess of amounts needed to pay or provide for accrued Liabilities of such Partnership will be distributed to its Partners in accordance with their Interests in such Partnership pursuant to the terms of the LP Agreement of such Partnership, in complete liquidation of all such Interests. After the distribution of any such excess amounts and the Fund Shares, each Partnership will be completely liquidated and dissolved as soon as reasonably possible in accordance with applicable law and the LP Agreement of such Partnership. Each distribution by a Partnership of Fund Shares and Assets in excess of amounts needed to pay or provide for accrued Liabilities will be treated as a distribution, or one of a series of distributions, in complete liquidation of such Partnership.

AGREEMENT

In consideration of the following covenants and agreements, the Partnerships, the Trust, the General Partner and the Adviser agree as follows:

1. Representations and Warranties of the Partnerships. Each Partnership represents and warrants with respect to itself to the Trust and the other Partnerships and agrees that:

(a) Each of Driehaus Institutional Small Cap, L.P. and Driehaus Institutional Small Cap Recovery Fund, L.P. is a limited partnership duly formed and validly existing under the laws of the State of Delaware and each of Driehaus Small Cap Investors, L.P., and Driehaus Small Cap Recovery Fund, L.P. is a limited partnership duly formed and validly existing under the laws of the State of Illinois and has power to own all of its Assets and to carry out, execute, deliver and perform its obligations under this Agreement.

(b) This Agreement and the transactions contemplated by it hereunder, including the liquidation and dissolution of the Partnership have been duly authorized as of the date hereof by all necessary action on the part of the General Partner and this Agreement constitutes a valid and legally binding obligation of the Partnership and the General Partner, enforceable in accordance with its terms, except as the same may be limited by bankruptcy insolvency, fraudulent transfer, reorganization, moratorium, and similar laws relating to or affecting creditors’ rights.

(c) The Partnership’s financial statements as of and for the period ended December 31, 2016 (the “Financial Statements”) fairly present the Partnership’s financial

 

2


position and results of operations for the period covered thereby in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles applied on a consistent basis.

(d) Since December 31, 2016, there has not been any material adverse change in the Partnership’s financial position.

(e) Except as disclosed in the Financial Statements of the Partnership, and as incurred in the ordinary course of the Partnership’s business and disclosed in writing to and accepted by the Trust since the date of those Financial Statements, the Partnership has no known Liabilities, and there are no legal, administrative or other proceedings pending or, to the knowledge of the Partnership, threatened against the Partnership that have had or could reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect on the Partnership or the Assets.

(f) At both the Valuation Time (as defined in Section 3(e) below) and the Exchange Time (if different), the Partnership will have full right, power and authority to sell, assign, transfer and deliver the Assets to be transferred by it under this Agreement. Upon such transfer, the Fund will acquire those Assets subject to no encumbrances, liens or security interests and without any transfer restrictions (other than encumbrances, liens, security interests or restrictions created by the Fund).

(g) The Partnership has filed on a timely basis or will file on a timely basis all federal, state, local and foreign tax returns that are or will be required to be filed by the Partnership and has paid on a timely basis or will pay on a timely basis all federal, state, local and foreign taxes, payable by it, whether or not shown to be due on said returns or on any assessments received by the Partnership or otherwise payable by the Partnership. No tax deficiency or liability of the Partnership has been asserted, and no question with respect thereto has been raised, by the Internal Revenue Service or by any state, local or foreign tax authority, for taxes in excess of those already paid and, to the best of the Partnership’s knowledge, there is no basis for such assertion to be made or question to be raised. The Partnership has timely withheld and timely paid all taxes required to have been withheld and paid in connection with any amounts paid, owing, or allocable to any partner, employee, independent contractor, creditor or other third party and all information statements, tax returns, forms and schedules required with respect thereto have been properly completed and timely filed or delivered, as applicable.

(h) No consent, approval, authorization, filing or order of any court or governmental authority is required for the consummation by the Partnership of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, except (i) for the filing of a post-effective amendment to the Trust’s registration statement on Form N-1A and (ii) such as may otherwise be required under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”).

(i) All of the issued and outstanding Interests of the Partnership have been offered for sale and sold in conformity with all applicable federal and state securities laws and when sold were duly and validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable.

 

3


(j) There are no material contracts outstanding or other commitments or understandings (other than this Agreement and the Partnership’s LP Agreement) to which the Partnership is a party, other than those disclosed in writing to and accepted by the Trust.

(k) As of the Valuation Time, the Partnership will have the same procedures as the Fund for determining its net asset value.

2. Representations and Warranties of the Trust. The Trust, on behalf of the Fund, represents and warrants to each Partnership and agrees that:

(a) The Trust is a statutory trust duly formed and validly existing under the laws of Delaware and has power to carry on its business as it is now being conducted and to carry out, execute, deliver and perform its obligations under this Agreement. Each series of the Trust, including without limitation the Fund with respect to its first taxable year which will include the Exchange Time, is or will be treated as a separate corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes. There is no plan or intention for the Trust to change such federal income tax classification for any such series.

(b) The Trust has filed a post-effective amendment to its registration statement on Form N-1A relating to the Fund (the “Registration Statement”) with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “1933 Act”), and the 1940 Act.

(c) At the Exchange Time, all Fund Shares to be issued to the Partnerships will have been duly authorized and, when issued and delivered pursuant to this Agreement, will be legally and validly issued and will be fully paid and nonassessable; and no person, including without limitation any shareholder of the Trust, will have any preemptive right of subscription or purchase with respect to any Fund Shares. The Fund has no outstanding or authorized options, warrants, purchase rights, subscription rights, conversion rights, exchange rights or similar contracts or commitments.

(d) No consent, approval, authorization, or order of any governmental authority is required for the consummation by the Trust of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, except (i) for the filing of a post-effective amendment to the Trust’s Registration Statement and (ii) such as may otherwise be required under the 1940 Act.

(e) The issuance of Fund Shares pursuant to this Agreement will be in compliance with all applicable federal and state securities laws.

(f) Immediately after the Exchange, the Partners of the Partnerships will own all of the issued and outstanding shares of the Fund and will own such shares solely as a result of the Exchange.

(g) As of the Valuation Time, the Fund will have the same procedures as the Partnerships for determining its net asset value.

 

4


(h) The Fund is a newly created separate series of the Trust that was formed solely for the purpose of participating in the Exchange. The Fund has not commenced operations or engaged in any business activity, other than such activities as are necessary for the organization of a new series of an investment company prior to its commencement of operations. There shall be no issued and outstanding shares of the Fund prior to the Exchange Time other than one initial share of each class of the Fund that will be issued to the Adviser to permit it to approve certain matters to facilitate the organization of the Fund (the “Initial Shares”). The Fund will redeem and cancel such Initial Shares prior to the Exchange Time in exchange for an amount equal to the consideration received by the Fund for such Initial Shares so that the Fund will own no assets at the time of the Exchange. Except with respect to the consideration received in exchange for the issuance of the Initial Shares, the Fund has not owned any assets and will not own any assets prior to the Exchange Time.

3. Transfer of Assets.

(a) Subject to the terms and conditions contained in this Agreement, the Trust, on behalf of the Fund, agrees to acquire from each Partnership, and each Partnership agrees to transfer to the Fund, simultaneously, at the Exchange Time all the Assets of the respective Partnership (subject to the retention by each Partnership of assets sufficient, in the reasonable judgment of the General Partner, to pay such Partnership’s accrued Liabilities that will not be assumed by the Fund and any assets that the Fund is not permitted, or that it has reasonably determined to be inappropriate, in type or amount, for investment by the Fund) in exchange for the number of Fund Shares determined in accordance with Section 4 below. Immediately after the Exchange Time, each Partnership shall make a liquidating distribution of all the Fund Shares received by it to its Partners in accordance with their respective Interests in the Partnership immediately prior to such distribution pursuant to the terms of such Partnership’s LP Agreement. Any Assets retained by a Partnership, after paying or providing for the payment of all of its Liabilities that were not assumed by the Fund, shall be distributed by the Partnership or its agent within 60 days of the date of the Exchange to its Partners of record in accordance with their respective Interests in the Partnership as of such time, pursuant to the terms of such Partnership’s LP Agreement.

(b) Each Partnership shall pay or cause to be paid to the Trust for the account of the Fund within 15 days of receipt any interest, dividends or other income or proceeds received after the Exchange Time with respect to securities transferred to the Fund under this Agreement. Each Partnership shall transfer to the Fund within 15 days of receipt any distributions, rights, stock dividends or other securities received by such Partnership after the Exchange Time as distributions on or with respect to the securities transferred. Any such distribution shall be deemed included in the Assets transferred to the Fund at the Exchange Time and shall not be separately valued unless the securities in respect of which such distribution is made shall have gone “ex” such distribution prior to the Valuation Time (as defined in Section 3(e) below), in which case any such distribution that remains unpaid at the Exchange Time shall be included in the determination of the value of the Assets acquired by the Fund. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Fund shall

 

5


not be entitled to receive any interest, dividends, other distributions or other income or proceeds with respect to assets not transferred to it under this Agreement.

(c) All of each Partnership’s accrued expenses will be paid out of such Partnership’s retained assets and all known Liabilities of each Partnership will be paid or reserved for by such Partnership prior to the Exchange. No Liabilities of any Partnership will be transferred to, or assumed by, the Fund or the Trust, except for accounts payable for securities purchased.

(d) Each Partnership and the General Partner will be responsible for all Liabilities of such Partnership, other than Liabilities for accounts payable for securities purchased that are assumed by the Fund.

(e) The “Valuation Time” shall be 3:00 p.m., Central time, on the last business day of the month during which the conditions of Sections 8, 9 and 10 are satisfied (the “Valuation Date”), or such other date and time as may be mutually agreed upon in writing by each of the Partnerships and the Trust.

4. Shares Issued in Exchange for Assets and Valuation. Full Fund Shares and, to the extent necessary, fractional Fund Shares, of an aggregate net asset value equal to the value of the Assets of a Partnership acquired by the Fund (less any liabilities of such Partnership that are assumed by the Fund) shall be issued by the Trust, on behalf of the Fund, in exchange for such Assets of such Partnership. Value in all cases shall be determined as of the Valuation Time. The net value of the Assets of each Partnership to be acquired by the Fund shall be determined in accordance with the procedures for determining the value of the Fund’s assets described under the caption “Shareholder Information — Net Asset Value” in the preliminary prospectus for the Fund that forms part of the Registration Statement filed by the Trust. The Trust, on behalf of the Fund, shall issue Fund Shares to each Partnership and each Partnership will receive an aggregate number of Fund Shares (including fractional Fund Shares) equal to the total net value of the Assets of such Partnership transferred to the Fund at the Exchange Time, divided by $10.00 (or such other value as shall be otherwise mutually determined at a later date by the Trust and the Partnership), which for the purposes of this Section 4 shall be the initial net asset value of one Fund Share. In lieu of delivering certificates for Fund Shares, the Trust will credit the Fund Shares to each Partnership’s account on the share record books of the Trust and shall deliver a confirmation of that credit to each Partnership. Each Partnership shall then deliver written instructions to the Trust’s transfer agent to set up accounts for its Partners on the share record books of the Trust relating to the Fund.

5. Notice. Each Partnership has provided or will provide to its Partners a memorandum with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby, which includes a copy of the preliminary prospectus for the Fund included in the Registration Statement for the Trust.

6. Delivery of Assets; Exchange Time. With respect to the Exchange, delivery of the Assets to be transferred and Fund Shares to be issued shall be made as of the Valuation Time, or such other date and time mutually agreed to by the Partnerships and the Trust. The date and time upon which such delivery is to take place is referred to in this Agreement as the “Exchange Time.” The Assets to be transferred shall be delivered at the Exchange Time to the Trust’s

 

6


custodian or relevant subcustodian (in either case, the “Custodian”), as directed by the Trust prior to the Exchange Time, for the account of the Fund, with all securities not in bearer form duly endorsed, or accompanied by duly endorsed separate assignments or stock powers, in proper form for transfer, with signatures guaranteed, and with all necessary stock transfer stamps or other authorizations, if any, sufficient to transfer good and marketable title thereto (including all accrued interest and dividends and rights pertaining thereto) to the Custodian for the account of the Fund free and clear of all liens, encumbrances, rights, restrictions and claims. All cash delivered by the Partnerships shall be in the form of immediately available funds payable to the order of the Fund.

7. Covenants of the Trust and the Partnerships.

(a) The Trust and each Partnership each covenants to operate its business in the ordinary course from the date hereof through the Exchange Time.

EX-99.28(h)(xxxii)

DRIEHAUS MUTUAL FUNDS

DRIEHAUS SMALL CAP GROWTH FUND

Shareholder Services Plan

(Effective as of August 21, 2017)

This Plan (the “Plan”), as amended from time to time, constitutes the Shareholder Services Plan with respect to the Investor Class shares of beneficial interest of the Driehaus Small Cap Growth Fund (the “Fund”) of the DRIEHAUS MUTUAL FUNDS, a Delaware statutory trust (the “Trust”).

The Trust, on behalf of the Fund, may pay a fee (the “Shareholder Services Fee”) for services rendered and expenses borne in connection with the provision of certain services to investors in the Fund (“Investors”), at an annual rate specified by the Board of Trustees of the Trust, but not to exceed 0.25% of the average daily net assets attributable to Investor Class shares representing such Investors’ interests in the Fund. Such services may include, to the extent applicable, but shall not be limited to the following: (i) transfer agent and sub-transfer agent services for beneficial owners of Fund shares, (ii) aggregating and processing purchase and redemption orders for Fund shares, (iii) providing beneficial owners of shares who are not record owners with statements showing their positions in the Fund, (iv) receiving and transmitting funds representing the purchase price or redemption proceeds of Fund shares, (v) processing dividend payments for Fund shares, (vi) providing sub-accounting services for Fund shares held beneficially, (vii) forwarding shareholder communications, such as proxies, shareholder reports, dividend and tax notices, and updating prospectuses to beneficial owners of Fund shares who are not record owners, (viii) receiving, tabulating and transmitting proxies executed by beneficial owners of Fund shares who are not record owners, (ix) responding to Investors’ inquiries regarding their interests in the Fund and (x) performing such other related services as the Fund may request (collectively, the “Shareholder Services”).

The Shareholder Services Fee may be paid by the Trust directly to the entity providing the Shareholder Services for the Fund (each a “Servicing Agent”) pursuant to a contract with the Trust. Such Servicing Agents may include banks and their affiliates, other institutions and service professionals (including investment advisers and broker-dealers) and other entities. The Trust may also reimburse Driehaus Securities LLC and Driehaus Capital Management LLC for Shareholder Services Fees they pay to Servicing Agents, up to the annual rate specified by the Board of Trustees. However, no payments shall be made under this Plan for services that constitute distribution services, which includes any activity that is primarily intended to result in the sale of shares (which may be paid only pursuant to a plan adopted under Rule 12b-1 of the Investment Company Act of 1940) and no payments shall be made under this Plan that would constitute “service fees” as defined in FINRA Conduct Rule 2341, which covers payment for personal services and/or maintenance of shareholder accounts.

The Board of Trustees shall approve the form of contract for use by the Trust for payment of Shareholder Services Fees to Servicing Agents for Shareholder Services. No reimbursement shall be made for distribution services. The contracts may be executed by the officers of the Trust, with subsequent notice to the Board.

 

1


EX-99.28(h)(xxxii)

 

The Board shall periodically receive reports on the entities providing Shareholder Services to the Fund and the amounts paid to each of them.

The Board shall periodically review this Shareholder Services Plan and the Shareholder Services Fee paid thereunder.

Ladies and Gentlemen:

We have acted as counsel to Driehaus Mutual Funds, a Delaware statutory trust (the “Trust”), in connection with the filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) of Post-Effective Amendment No. 124 under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “1933 Act”), to the Trust’s Registration Statement on Form N-1A (the “Post-Effective Amendment”) registering an indefinite number of units of beneficial interest in the Driehaus Small Cap Growth Fund, a series of the Trust, which have been classified and designated as Investor Class and Institutional Class (the “Shares”).

You have requested our opinion as to the matters set forth below in connection with the filing of the Post-Effective Amendment. In connection with rendering this opinion, we have examined the Post-Effective Amendment, the Certificate of Trust of the Trust, the Trust’s Amended and Restated Declaration of Trust, as amended, the Trust’s Amended and Restated By-Laws, as amended, the actions of the Trustees of the Trust that authorized the approval of the foregoing documents and the issuance of the Shares, and such other documents as we, in our professional opinion, have deemed necessary or appropriate as a basis for the opinion set forth below. In examining the documents referred to above, we have assumed the genuineness of all signatures, the legal capacity of all natural persons, the authenticity of documents purporting to be originals and the conformity to originals of all documents submitted to us as copies. As to questions of fact material to our opinion, we have relied (without investigation or independent confirmation) upon the representations contained in the above-described documents and on certificates and other communications from public officials, and officers and Trustees of the Trust.

Our opinion, as set forth herein, is based on the facts in existence on the date hereof, and is limited to the Delaware Statutory Trust Act as in effect on the date hereof. We express no opinion with respect to any other laws or regulations.

Based upon and subject to the foregoing and the qualifications set forth below, we are of the opinion that (a) the Shares to be issued pursuant to the Post-Effective Amendment have been duly authorized for issuance by the Trust; and (b) when issued and paid for upon the terms provided in the Post-Effective Amendment, such Shares will be validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable.

This opinion is rendered for your use in connection with the filing of the Post-Effective Amendment and supersedes any previous opinions of this firm in connection with the issuance of the Shares. We hereby consent to the filing of this opinion with the SEC in connection with the Post-Effective Amendment. In giving our consent, we do not thereby admit that we are in the category of persons whose consent is required under Section 7 of the 1933 Act or the rules and regulations of the SEC thereunder. Except as specifically authorized above in this paragraph, this opinion is not to be quoted in whole or in part or otherwise referred to, nor is it to be filed with any government agency or any other person, without, in each case, our prior written consent. This opinion is given to you as of the date hereof, and we assume no obligation to advise you of any change that may hereafter be brought to our attention. The opinions expressed herein are matters of professional judgment and are not a guarantee of result.
