AMBRUS CORE BOND FUND
Annual Investment Adviser's Report
September 30, 2023
(Unaudited)
Dear Shareholder:
Market Review
U.S. Economy & Fixed Income Market
Ending almost forty years of a secular bull market in bonds, interest rates continued their upward trajectory over the last twelve months, as the short-term Federal Funds rate rose from 3.25% to 5.50% and the benchmark 10-year U.S. treasury yield rose from 3.83% to 4.57%. However, unlike the prior year’s period of rising interest rates, inflation continued to moderate over the trailing year, as the Consumer Price Index decreased from 8.2% year-over-year ("y/y") to 3.7% y/y and the Personal Consumption Expenditure Index decreased from 6.6% y/y to 3.4% y/y. Rather than the bond selloff being driven by rising inflation as with previous years, the increase in real interest rates (as measured by treasury inflation-protected securities (TIPS)) drove almost all of the increase in treasury yields over the last twelve months. While 10-year breakeven rates rose modestly from 2.15% to 2.34%, 10-year real yields rose from 1.67% to 2.23%. The rise in real yields was primarily driven by ongoing strength in the U.S. economy.
Despite repeated predictions of an imminent recession, U.S. economic growth continued across almost all fronts, with year-over-year GDP growth increasing from a low of 0.7% y/y in December 2022 to 2.9% y/y by the end of September 2023. Most leading measures of economic activity repeatedly exceeded expectations throughout the year. Initial jobless claims averaged 223,500, essentially on par with the pre-COVID 2019 economy. The unemployment rate rose to just 3.8%, near the lowest levels since the 1960s. Year-over-year growth in inflation-adjusted average hourly earnings increased from -2.9% y/y to +0.5% y/y, and the labor force participation rate rose from 62.3% to 62.8%. The month-over-month increase in retail sales rose to 0.7% at the end of the quarter, above the ten-year pre-COVID average of 0.3%. The overall ongoing economic strength led to a rally in risk assets, with investment-grade credit spreads tightening from +188 basis points ("bps") to +151 bps, high yield credit spreads tightening from +539 bps to +433 bps, and equities (as measured by the S&P 500) returning 21.6%.
However, despite the strength of the consumer and the overall rally in risk assets, the rise in yields caused intermittent shocks throughout the trailing twelve months. The decline in prices was most pronounced for markets with significant duration, including long bonds and real estate. Illustrating an extreme example, the price of 30-year zero coupon U.S. treasuries have declined by over 60% since their peak in 2020, a selloff greater in magnitude than the S&P 500 during the Global Financial Crisis.
The rise in yields rippled throughout the real estate market, as residential 30-year average fixed rate mortgage rates rose from 7.1% to 7.7%. In response, existing home sales plummeted to the lowest levels in over a decade. Despite the increase in mortgage rates and decline in sales, overall home prices remained buoyed by a lack of available inventory, with the existing home sales inventory nearing the lowest levels on record. In the residential mortgage-backed security (MBS) market, the decline in mortgage prepayments caused the duration of the Bloomberg MBS Index to increase more than five fold, from a low of 1.24 in 2020 to 6.36 in September 2023. Agency MBS spreads widened from a one-year low of 36 bps in January 2023 to 66 bps at the end of the quarter.
The rise in yields most significantly impacted the commercial real estate (CRE) sector, especially the office CRE market. Within the public market, the compensation that investors demanded to own commercial mortgage-backed securities (CMBS) soared, as the spread on the Bloomberg BBB-Rated Non-Agency CMBS index rose from 548 bps to 1,068 bps and the yield to worst rose from 9.8% to 16.1%. Stress in the private markets was more pronounced, as a handful of large office and hospitality properties in major metropolitan areas sold for prices less than when they were purchased over a decade ago.
The combination of declining prices of duration-sensitive bonds and concerns over commercial real estate exposure came to a head in the March 2023 regional banking crisis. Silicon Valley Bank (SVB), despite its conservative lending and low credit losses, succumbed to a historic bank run on March 10th following a failed liquidity-raising attempt, marking it the second largest U.S. bank failure in history. Primarily serving the tech sector, SVB managed over $100 billion in deposits, which it invested heavily in U.S. treasuries and mortgage-backed securities. However, rising interest rates led to significant mark-to-market losses, nearly depleting its $16.2 billion in equity. As venture capital funding dwindled and startups' cash burn rates surged, deposits decreased, exacerbated by higher yields from money market funds and Federal Reserve rate hikes. With a concentrated depositor base and over 85% of deposits uninsured, SVB's capital struggles triggered a bank run, resulting in $42 billion in withdrawals, the largest in history.
Simultaneously, First Republic Bank's conservative underwriting was overshadowed by a slow collapse, driven by unrealized mark-to-market losses and liquidity issues. Despite a cumulative net loan loss ratio of less than 0.1% on over $240 billion in loans, rising interest rates impacted its securities portfolio, shaking depositor and investor confidence. Efforts to stabilize the bank, including

(Unaudited)
$30 billion in deposits from major U.S. banks and extensive borrowing from various Federal Reserve facilities, were insufficient. Hindered by a large portion of its liquid assets that did not qualify for the Fed’s emergency liquidity facility and facing potential collateral eligibility downgrades, First Republic's liquidity options dwindled, leading to the FDIC's eventual takeover. This financial turmoil further impacted regional banks, especially those with large unrealized losses in their securities portfolios and outsized exposure to commercial real estate lending.
Outlook and Strategy
Turmoil in the bond markets has begun to present compelling opportunities for long-term investors focused on quality debt securities. For the first time in many years, investor compensation for owning fixed income assets has steadily begun to rise. Yields across most fixed income asset classes, including inflation-protected yields, have increased dramatically over the last 12 months, with many yields touching levels not seen since the Great Financial Crisis.
Corporate interest coverage ratios remain near all-time highs, yet investment-grade U.S. corporate bonds now yield over 6.0%. High-yield bonds now present equity-like returns, yielding near 8.9% at quarter-end. Although corporate bond yields have increased, credit spreads have tightened into quarter-end, despite a backdrop of slowing economic growth and rising risk within the real estate and banking sectors. As a result, we prudently reduced allocation to corporate credit following the tightening of spreads, and await a more favorable entry point to re-increase credit exposure. Over the last year, we have maintained an overall underweight to duration within the Ambrus Core Bond Fund (the “Fund”). However, given the recent increase in yields, steepening of the yield curve, and decline in economic growth, we have increased the overall fund duration to become neutral versus the index. In particular, we recently increased the duration of treasury holdings to be slightly overweight versus the index, yet we seek to reduce volatility and downside risk within the fund by maintaining an underweight to duration within corporate bonds.
We currently have a significant allocation to U.S. treasury bonds, providing principal preservation along with future optionality to provide liquidity into liquidity-starved markets. We also continue to maintain our position in floating rate U.S. treasury and corporate bonds, in anticipation of the Federal Reserve keeping short-term interest rates higher for longer. Within corporate bonds, we favor issuers with both strong, countercyclical cash flows as well as real assets on the balance sheet to lend against.
We have recently found attractive double-digit yield opportunities in high-quality bank preferreds and other bank capital securities, and have ample liquidity available to capitalize on any future stress in the asset class. The widening of agency MBS spreads and rise of TIPS yields has also begun to present compelling opportunities within each asset class. As of quarter-end, we have not found taxable municipal bonds to offer compelling relative value to corporate bonds, but continue to monitor across asset classes for relative value opportunities.
Overall, we remain conservatively positioned and patiently wait for potential opportunities to invest in high quality issuers against a backdrop of both higher yields and higher spreads.
Fund Performance
The Fund commenced operations on September 6, 2022. Since inception, the Fund returned 0.78%, while the Bloomberg U.S. Intermediate Government/Credit Bond Index (the “Index”) returned -0.06% (on an annualized basis). Over the trailing one-year time period, the Fund returned 3.29%, while the Index returned 2.20%. On a year-to-date basis, the Fund returned 1.38%, while the Index returned 0.65%.
Over the trailing twelve months, outperformance was driven primarily by an overweight to U.S. investment grade corporate bonds and bank preferred stocks, as investment grade bond spreads compressed from 182 bps to 151 bps. Over the time period, the overweight to corporate bonds was approximately 10% versus the index, and the overweight to preferreds was approximately 8%. In addition to being overweight the asset class, superior security selection also drove outperformance, as the corporate bond holdings within the Fund outperformed corporate bond holdings within the Index by approximately 0.9%. In particular, asset allocation and security selection within the financials sector contributed to outperformance, as the fund opportunistically purchased the debt of high quality banks trading at distressed levels following the March 2023 regional banking crisis. Outperformance was also driven by an underweight to duration versus the index as interest rates increased across the curve, with 1-year treasury yields increasing by 147 bps, 5-year yields increasing by 52 bps, 10-year yields increasing by 74 bps, and 30-year yields increasing by 92 bps. Negative performance attribution was primarily driven by exposure to Silicon Valley Bank in March 2023. The Fund had a position weight of approximately 46 bps to Silicon Valley Bank, which was significantly impaired during the regional banking crisis when the issuer was

acquired by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC). Negative performance attribution was also driven by an overweight to the long end of the treasury curve, as 20- and 30-year yields increased by approximately 30 basis points more than 3- and 5-year yields.
Fund Details
Investment Style
Aggregate Short/Intermediate-Term Bond.
Investment Objectives
The Ambrus Core Bond Fund seeks to maximize total return and current income, consistent with preservation of capital and prudent investment management. The Fund’s benchmark is the Bloomberg U.S. Intermediate Government/Credit Bond Index.

Dear Shareholder:
Market Review
U.S. Economy & Fixed Income Market
Ending almost forty years of a secular bull market in bonds, interest rates continued their upward trajectory over the last twelve months, as the short-term Federal Funds rate rose from 3.25% to 5.50% and the benchmark 10-year U.S. treasury yield rose from 3.83% to 4.57%. However, unlike the prior year’s period of rising interest rates, inflation continued to moderate over the trailing year, as the Consumer Price Index decreased from 8.2% year-over-year (y/y) to 3.7% y/y and the Personal Consumption Expenditure Index decreased from 6.6% y/y to 3.4% y/y. Rather than the bond selloff being driven by rising inflation as with previous years, the increase in real interest rates (as measured by treasury inflation-protected securities (TIPS)) drove almost all of the increase in treasury yields over the last twelve months. While 10-year breakeven rates rose modestly from 2.15% to 2.34%, 10-year real yields rose from 1.67% to 2.23%. The rise in real yields was primarily driven by ongoing strength in the U.S. economy.
Despite repeated predictions of an imminent recession, U.S. economic growth continued across almost all fronts, with year-over-year GDP growth increasing from a low of 0.7% y/y in December 2022 to 2.9% y/y by the end of September 2023. Most leading measures of economic activity repeatedly exceeded expectations throughout the year. Initial jobless claims averaged 223,500, essentially on par with the pre-COVID 2019 economy. The unemployment rate rose to just 3.8%, near the lowest levels since the 1960s. Year-over-year growth in inflation-adjusted average hourly earnings increased from -2.9% y/y to +0.5% y/y, and the labor force participation rate rose from 62.3% to 62.8%. The month-over-month increase in retail sales rose to 0.7% at the end of the quarter, above the ten-year pre-COVID average of 0.3%. The overall ongoing economic strength led to a rally in risk assets, with investment-grade credit spreads tightening from +188 basis points (bps) to +151 bps, high yield credit spreads tightening from +539 bps to +433 bps, and equities (as measured by the S&P 500) returning 21.6%.
However, despite the strength of the consumer and the overall rally in risk assets, the rise in yields caused intermittent shocks throughout the trailing twelve months. The decline in prices was most pronounced for markets with significant duration, including long bonds and real estate. Illustrating an extreme example, the price of 30-year zero coupon U.S. treasuries have declined by over 60% since their peak in 2020, a selloff greater in magnitude than the S&P 500 during the Global Financial Crisis.
The rise in yields rippled throughout the real estate market, as residential 30-year average fixed rate mortgage rates rose from 7.1% to 7.7%. In response, existing home sales plummeted to the lowest levels in over a decade. Despite the increase in mortgage rates and decline in sales, overall home prices remained buoyed by a lack of available inventory, with the existing home sales inventory nearing the lowest levels on record. In the residential mortgage-backed security (MBS) market, the decline in mortgage prepayments caused the duration of the Bloomberg MBS Index to increase more than five fold, from a low of 1.24 in 2020 to 6.36 in September 2023. Agency MBS spreads widened from a one-year low of 36 bps in January 2023 to 66 bps at the end of the quarter.
The rise in yields most significantly impacted the commercial real estate (CRE) sector, especially the office CRE market. Within the public market, the compensation that investors demanded to own commercial mortgage-backed securities (CMBS) soared, as the spread on the Bloomberg BBB-Rated Non-Agency CMBS index rose from 548 bps to 1,068 bps and the yield to worst rose from 9.8% to 16.1%. Stress in the private markets was more pronounced, as a handful of large office and hospitality properties in major metropolitan areas sold for prices less than when they were purchased over a decade ago.
The combination of declining prices of duration-sensitive bonds and concerns over commercial real estate exposure came to a head in the March 2023 regional banking crisis. Silicon Valley Bank (SVB), despite its conservative lending and low credit losses, succumbed to a historic bank run on March 10th following a failed liquidity-raising attempt, marking it the second largest U.S. bank failure in history. Primarily serving the tech sector, SVB managed over $100 billion in deposits, which it invested heavily in U.S. treasuries and mortgage-backed securities. However, rising interest rates led to significant mark-to-market losses, nearly depleting its $16.2 billion in equity. As venture capital funding dwindled and startups' cash burn rates surged, deposits decreased, exacerbated by higher yields from money market funds and Federal Reserve rate hikes. With a concentrated depositor base and over 85% of deposits uninsured, SVB's capital struggles triggered a bank run, resulting in $42 billion in withdrawals, the largest in history.

Simultaneously, First Republic Bank's conservative underwriting was overshadowed by a slow collapse, driven by unrealized mark-to-market losses and liquidity issues. Despite a cumulative net loan loss ratio of less than 0.1% on over $240 billion in loans, rising interest rates impacted its securities portfolio, shaking depositor and investor confidence. Efforts to stabilize the bank, including $30 billion in deposits from major U.S. banks and extensive borrowing from various Federal Reserve facilities, were insufficient. Hindered by a large portion of its liquid assets that did not qualify for the Fed’s emergency liquidity facility and facing potential collateral eligibility downgrades, First Republic's liquidity options dwindled, leading to the FDIC's eventual takeover. This financial turmoil further impacted regional banks, especially those with large unrealized losses in their securities portfolios and outsized exposure to commercial real estate lending.
Outlook and Strategy
Turmoil in the bond markets has begun to present compelling opportunities for long-term investors focused on quality debt securities. For the first time in many years, investor compensation for owning fixed income assets has steadily begun to rise. Yields across most fixed income asset classes, including inflation-protected yields, have increased dramatically over the last 12 months, with many yields touching levels not seen since the Great Financial Crisis.
Municipal bond yields have been no exception. Since inception of the Ambrus Tax-Conscious California Bond Fund (the “Fund”), yields across the municipal curve (as indicated by the AAA municipal yield curve) have risen substantially. The 2-year yield rose 0.62% over the period, but not before touching a low of 2.1% in February, then rising over 1.5% to a high of 3.66% in September. 5-year, 10-year, and 30-year municipal yields saw similar volatility over the same period, each rising over the period, but increasing substantially into year-end from annual lows in the spring (5-year and 10-year yields increasing 1.4% off the lows, with the 30-year yield increasing 1.3%). As a ratio to US treasuries, municipal bond yields have widened significantly, as 7-year tax-exempt AA-rated general obligation municipal bond yields widened from a low of 63% of comparable maturity treasuries to over 85% of comparable maturity treasuries.
Corporate interest coverage ratios remain near all-time highs, yet investment-grade U.S. corporate bonds now yield over 6.0%. High-yield bonds now present equity-like returns, yielding nearly 9% at quarter-end. Although corporate bond yields have increased, credit spreads have tightened into quarter-end, despite a backdrop of slowing economic growth and rising risk within the real estate and banking sectors. As a result, we reduced allocation to corporate credit in the Fund following the tightening of spreads, and await a more favorable entry point to re-increase credit exposure.
Earlier in the year, the opposite was true. Following the volatility in the regional banking system, corporate bond spreads widened to more than +180 bps, reaching a yield advantage of over 80 bps relative to the taxable-equivalent yield (at the highest marginal federal tax rate of 40.8%) of comparable duration tax-exempt municipal bonds. As the credit markets recovered, corporate bond spreads narrowed, eventually reaching the tightest levels in over a year by the end of the quarter.
As a result of widening municipal bond spreads and tightening corporate bond spreads, the taxable-equivalent yield of municipal bonds is now over 60 bps higher than similar duration corporate bonds, with the taxable equivalent yield of the Bloomberg Municipal Bond Index reaching 6.6% as of quarter end. From the perspective of California taxpayers (at the highest marginal state tax rate of 12.3% and federal tax rate of 40.8%), the yield advantage is even more significant, with the taxable-equivalent yield of the Bloomberg California Municipal Bond Index reaching 8.70% at quarter end. As a result of this shifting valuation dynamic, we have recently increased the allocation to tax-exempt municipal bonds within the Fund.
Earlier in the year, we maintained an overall underweight to duration within the Fund. However, given the recent rise in yields, steepening of the yield curve, and decline in economic growth, we have steadily increased the overall fund duration by adding high quality municipal bonds to the portfolio, particularly at the longer end of the curve, while at the same time increasing the fund’s overall cash position to take advantage of potentially further increased volatility going into calendar year end. We have also increased our exposure to short-term U.S. treasuries, to take advantage of elevated short-term and floating rate yields. Within corporate bonds, we continue to favor issuers with both strong, countercyclical cash flows as well as real assets on the balance sheet to potentially lend against.

Annual Investment Adviser’s Report (Continued)

(Unaudited)
Fund Performance
The Fund commenced operations on October 3, 2022. Since inception, the Fund returned 1.90%, while the Bloomberg California Municipal Inter-Short (1-10 Year) Index (the “Index”) returned 1.99%. On a year-to-date basis, the Fund returned 0.16%, while the Index returned -0.75%.
Since inception, underperformance was primarily driven by exposure to Silicon Valley Bank in March 2023. The Fund had a position weight of approximately 61 bps to Silicon Valley Bank, which was significantly adversely impacted during the regional banking crisis when the issuer was acquired by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC). Underperformance was also driven by a cash drag relative to the index during the first few months of the Fund’s operation, as ongoing cash contributions to the fund occurred during a time period of positive index performance (five-year California tax-exempt municipal bond yields rallied from 3.35% at the end of October 2022 to 2.04% by the beginning of January 2023). However, on a year-to-date basis, the Fund’s strategic overweight to cash relative to the index has proven to be a positive contributor to performance as yields rose across asset classes during the last four months of the year. Negative performance attribution was also driven by an overweight to the long end of the curve, as 20- and 30-year yields increased by approximately 100 bps from 10/03/2022 to 09/30/2023.
On the other hand, year-to-date outperformance was driven primarily by an overweight to U.S. investment-grade corporate bonds and bank preferreds, as investment grade bond spreads compressed from a year-to-date wide of 182 bps to 151 bps. In particular, asset allocation and security selection within the financials sector contributed to outperformance, as the fund opportunistically purchased the debt of high quality banks trading at distressed levels following the March 2023 regional banking crisis. Year-to-date outperformance was also driven by an overall underweight to duration in the Fund relative to the index, as interest rates increased across the curve.

AMBRUS TAX-CONSCIOUS NATIONAL BOND FUND
Annual Investment Adviser's Report
September 30, 2023
(Unaudited)
Dear Shareholder:
Market Review
U.S. Economy & Fixed Income Market
Ending almost forty years of a secular bull market in bonds, interest rates continued their upward trajectory over the last twelve months, as the short-term Federal Funds rate rose from 3.25% to 5.50% and the benchmark 10-year U.S. treasury yield rose from 3.83% to 4.57%. However, unlike the prior year’s period of rising interest rates, inflation continued to moderate over the trailing year, as the Consumer Price Index decreased from 8.2% year-over-year (y/y) to 3.7% y/y and the Personal Consumption Expenditure Index decreased from 6.6% y/y to 3.4% y/y. Rather than the bond selloff being driven by rising inflation as with previous years, the increase in real interest rates (as measured by treasury inflation-protected securities (TIPS)) drove almost all of the increase in treasury yields over the last twelve months. While 10-year breakeven rates rose modestly from 2.15% to 2.34%, 10-year real yields rose from 1.67% to 2.23%. The rise in real yields was primarily driven by ongoing strength in the U.S. economy.
Despite repeated predictions of an imminent recession, U.S. economic growth continued across almost all fronts, with year-over-year GDP growth increasing from a low of 0.7% y/y in December 2022 to 2.9% y/y by the end of September 2023. Most leading measures of economic activity repeatedly exceeded expectations throughout the year. Initial jobless claims averaged 223,500, essentially on par with the pre-COVID 2019 economy. The unemployment rate rose to just 3.8%, near the lowest levels since the 1960s. Year-over-year growth in inflation-adjusted average hourly earnings increased from -2.9% y/y to +0.5% y/y, and the labor force participation rate rose from 62.3% to 62.8%. The month-over-month increase in retail sales rose to 0.7% at the end of the quarter, above the ten-year pre-COVID average of 0.3%. The overall ongoing economic strength led to a rally in risk assets, with investment-grade credit spreads tightening from +188 basis points (bps) to +151 bps, high yield credit spreads tightening from +539 bps to +433 bps, and equities (as measured by the S&P 500) returning 21.6%.
However, despite the strength of the consumer and the overall rally in risk assets, the rise in yields caused intermittent shocks throughout the trailing twelve months. The decline in prices was most pronounced for markets with significant duration, including long bonds and real estate. Illustrating an extreme example, the price of 30-year zero coupon U.S. treasuries have declined by over 60% since their peak in 2020, a selloff greater in magnitude than the S&P 500 during the Global Financial Crisis.
The rise in yields rippled throughout the real estate market, as residential 30-year average fixed rate mortgage rates rose from 7.1% to 7.7%. In response, existing home sales plummeted to the lowest levels in over a decade. Despite the increase in mortgage rates and decline in sales, overall home prices remained buoyed by a lack of available inventory, with the existing home sales inventory nearing the lowest levels on record. In the residential mortgage-backed security (MBS) market, the decline in mortgage prepayments caused the duration of the Bloomberg MBS Index to increase more than five fold, from a low of 1.24 in 2020 to 6.36 in September 2023. Agency MBS spreads widened from a one-year low of 36 bps in January 2023 to 66 bps at the end of the quarter.
The rise in yields most significantly impacted the commercial real estate (CRE) sector, especially the office CRE market. Within the public market, the compensation that investors demanded to own commercial mortgage-backed securities (CMBS) soared, as the spread on the Bloomberg BBB-Rated Non-Agency CMBS index rose from 548 bps to 1,068 bps and the yield to worst rose from 9.8% to 16.1%. Stress in the private markets was more pronounced, as a handful of large office and hospitality properties in major metropolitan areas sold for prices less than when they were purchased over a decade ago.
The combination of declining prices of duration-sensitive bonds and concerns over commercial real estate exposure came to a head in the March 2023 regional banking crisis. Silicon Valley Bank (SVB), despite its conservative lending and low credit losses, succumbed to a historic bank run on March 10th following a failed liquidity-raising attempt, marking it the second largest U.S. bank failure in history. Primarily serving the tech sector, SVB managed over $100 billion in deposits, which it invested heavily in U.S. treasuries and mortgage-backed securities. However, rising interest rates led to significant mark-to-market losses, nearly depleting its $16.2 billion in equity. As venture capital funding dwindled and startups' cash burn rates surged, deposits decreased, exacerbated by higher yields from money market funds and Federal Reserve rate hikes. With a concentrated depositor base and over 85% of deposits uninsured, SVB's capital struggles triggered a bank run, resulting in $42 billion in withdrawals, the largest in history.

Simultaneously, First Republic Bank's conservative underwriting was overshadowed by a slow collapse, driven by unrealized mark-to-market losses and liquidity issues. Despite a cumulative net loan loss ratio of less than 0.1% on over $240 billion in loans, rising interest rates impacted its securities portfolio, shaking depositor and investor confidence. Efforts to stabilize the bank, including $30 billion in deposits from major U.S. banks and extensive borrowing from various Federal Reserve facilities, were insufficient. Hindered by a large portion of its liquid assets that did not qualify for the Fed’s emergency liquidity facility and facing potential collateral eligibility downgrades, First Republic's liquidity options dwindled, leading to the FDIC's eventual takeover. This financial turmoil further impacted regional banks, especially those with large unrealized losses in their securities portfolios and outsized exposure to commercial real estate lending.
Outlook and Strategy
Turmoil in the bond markets has begun to present compelling opportunities for long-term investors focused on quality debt securities. For the first time in many years, investor compensation for owning fixed income assets has steadily begun to rise. Yields across most fixed income asset classes, including inflation-protected yields, have increased dramatically over the last 12 months, with many yields touching levels not seen since the Great Financial Crisis.
Municipal bond yields have been no exception. Since inception of the Ambrus Tax-Conscious National Bond Fund (the “Fund”), yields across the municipal curve (as indicated by the AAA municipal yield curve) have risen substantially. The 2-year yield rose 0.62% over the period, but not before touching a low of 2.1% in February, then rising over 1.5% to a high of 3.66% in September. 5-year, 10-year, and 30-year municipal yields saw similar volatility over the same period, each rising over the period, but increasing substantially into year-end from annual lows in the spring (5-year and 10-year yields increasing 1.4% off the lows, with the 30-year yield increasing 1.3%). As a ratio to US treasuries, municipal bond yields have widened significantly, as 7-year tax-exempt AA-rated general obligation municipal bond yields widened from a low of 63% of comparable maturity treasuries to over 85% of comparable maturity treasuries.
Corporate interest coverage ratios remain near all-time highs, yet investment-grade U.S. corporate bonds now yield over 6.0%. High-yield bonds now present equity-like returns, yielding nearly 9% at quarter-end. Although corporate bond yields have increased, credit spreads have tightened into quarter-end, despite a backdrop of slowing economic growth and rising risk within the real estate and banking sectors. As a result, we reduced allocation to corporate credit in the Ambrus Tax-Conscious California Bond Fund (the “Fund”) following the tightening of spreads, and await a more favorable entry point to re-increase credit exposure.
Earlier in the year, the opposite was true. Following the volatility in the regional banking system, corporate bond spreads widened to more than +180 bps, reaching a yield advantage of over 80 bps relative to the taxable-equivalent yield (at the highest marginal tax rate of 40.8%) of comparable duration tax-exempt municipal bonds. As the credit markets recovered, corporate bond spreads narrowed, eventually reaching the tightest levels in over a year by the end of the quarter.
As a result of widening municipal bond spreads and tightening corporate bond spreads, the taxable-equivalent yield of municipal bonds is now over 60 bps higher than similar duration corporate bonds, with the taxable equivalent yield of the Bloomberg Municipal Bond Index reaching 6.6% as of quarter end. As a result of this shifting valuation dynamic, we have recently increased the allocation to tax-exempt municipal bonds within the Fund. Within municipal bonds, we maintain underweight California, New York, New Jersey, and Illinois versus the index.
Over the last year, we have maintained an overall underweight to duration. However, given the recent increase in yields, steepening of the yield curve, decline in economic growth, and attractive valuation of longer-dated municipal bonds (especially longer-dated callable municipal bonds), we have increased duration exposure to become overweight versus the index.
Fund Performance
The Fund commenced operations on October 3, 2022. Since inception, the Fund returned 1.80%, while the Bloomberg Municipal Inter-Short (1-10 Year) Bond Index (the “Index”) returned 1.98%. On a year-to-date basis, the Fund returned 0.00%, while the Index returned -0.69%.

AMBRUS TAX-CONSCIOUS NATIONAL BOND FUND

(Unaudited)
Over the trailing twelve months, underperformance versus the benchmark was primarily driven by exposure to Silicon Valley Bank in March 2023. The Fund had a position weight of approximately 59 bps to Silicon Valley Bank, which was significantly impaired during the regional banking crisis when the issuer was acquired by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC). Negative performance attribution was also driven by cash drag relative to the index during the first few months of the Fund’s operation, as daily cash contributions to the fund occurred during a time period of positive index performance (five-year AA-rated general obligation municipal bond yields rallied from 3.47% at the end of October 2022 to 2.26% by the mid-January 2023). Negative attribution was also driven by an exposure to the long end of the treasury curve, as 20- and 30-year treasury yields increased by approximately 100 bps from 10/3/2022 to 9/30/2023.
On the other hand, year-to-date outperformance versus the index was driven primarily by an overweight to U.S. investment grade corporate bonds and bank preferred stocks, as investment grade bond spreads compressed from a year-to-date wide of 182 bps to 151 bps. In particular, asset allocation and security selection within the financials sector contributed to outperformance, as the fund opportunistically purchased the debt of high quality banks trading at distressed levels following the March 2023 regional banking crisis. Year-to-date outperformance was also driven by an overall underweight to duration in the Fund relative to the index, as interest rates increased across the curve.

Comparison of Change in Value of $10,000 (investment minimum) Investment in Ambrus Tax-Conscious National Bond Institutional Class vs. Bloomberg Municipal Inter-Short (1-10 Year) Index
Total Returns for the Period Ended September 30, 2023
  Since
Inception
Institutional Class 1.80% *
Bloomberg Municipal Inter-Short (1-10 Year) Index 1.98% **

Not Annualized.
* The Ambrus Tax-Conscious National Bond Fund (the “Fund”) commenced operations on October 3, 2022.
** Benchmark performance is from the commencement date of the Fund Class only and is not the commencement date of the benchmark itself.
The performance data quoted represents past performance and does not guarantee future results. Current performance may be lower or higher. Performance data current to the most recent month-end may be obtained by calling (833) 996-2101. The investment return and principal value of an investment will fluctuate so that shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. The graph and table do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on Fund distributions or the redemption of Fund shares.
The Fund’s “Total Annual Fund Operating Expenses” and “Total Annual Fund Operating Expenses After Fee Waiver and/or Expense Reimbursement”, as stated in the current prospectus dated February 1, 2023, as revised on May 23, 2023, are 0.72% and 0.50%, respectively, for the Institutional Class shares of the Fund’s average daily net assets, which may differ from the actual expenses incurred by the Fund for the period covered by this report. Whittier Advisors, LLC (“Whittier” or the “Adviser”) has contractually agreed to reduce its investment advisory fee and/or reimburse certain expenses of the Fund to the extent necessary to ensure that the Fund’s total operating expenses (excluding taxes, fees and expenses attributable to a distribution or service plan adopted by FundVantage Trust (the “Trust” ), interest, extraordinary items, “Acquired Fund Fees and Expenses” and brokerage commissions) do not exceed 0.50% (on an annual basis) of the Fund’s average daily net assets until January 31, 2025, and do not exceed 0.60% (on an annual basis) of the Fund's average daily net assets until January 31, 2026 (the “Expense Limitation”). The Expense Limitation will remain in place until January 31, 2026 unless the Board of Trustees (“Board of Trustees”) of the Trust approves its earlier termination. Prior to May 23, 2023, the Expense Limitation was 0.60%. The Adviser is entitled to recover, subject to approval by the Board of Trustees, such amounts reduced or reimbursed for a period of up to three (3) years from the date on which the Adviser reduced its compensation and/or assumed expenses for the Fund. The Adviser is permitted to seek reimbursement from the Fund, subject to certain limitations, for fees it waived and Fund expenses it paid to the extent the total annual fund operating expenses do not exceed the limits described above or any lesser limits in effect at the time of reimbursement. No reimbursement will occur unless the Fund’s expenses are below the Expense Limitation. Total returns would be lower had such fees and expenses not been waived and/or reimbursed.

Fund Expense Disclosure
September 30, 2023
(Unaudited)
As a shareholder of the Funds, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees, distribution and/or service (Rule 12b-1) fees (if any) and other Fund expenses. These examples are intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Fund(s) and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds.
These examples are based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the six-month period from April 1, 2023 through September 30, 2023 and held for the entire period.
Actual Expenses
The first line of each accompanying table provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this line, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the first line under the heading entitled "Expenses Paid During Period" to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.
Hypothetical Examples for Comparison Purposes
The second line of each accompanying table provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Fund's actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not your Fund's actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Fund(s) and other funds. To do so, compare these 5% hypothetical examples with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of other funds.
Please note that the expenses shown in the accompanying table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transactional costs, such as sales charges (loads) on purchase payments (if any) or redemption fees. Therefore, the second line of each accompanying table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transactional costs were included, your costs would have been higher.

1. Organization and Significant Accounting Policies
The Ambrus Core Bond Fund, Ambrus Tax-Conscious California Bond Fund and Ambrus Tax-Conscious National Bond Fund (each a "Fund" and together the “Funds”) are diversified, open-end management investment companies registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, (the “1940 Act”), which commenced investment operations on September 6, 2022, October 3, 2022 and October 3, 2022, respectively. The Funds are separate series of FundVantage Trust (the “Trust”) which was organized as a Delaware statutory trust on August 28, 2006. The Trust is a “series trust” authorized to issue an unlimited number of separate series or classes of shares of beneficial interest. Each series is treated as a separate entity for certain matters under the 1940 Act, and for other purposes, and a shareholder of one series is not deemed to be a shareholder of any other series. Two separate classes of shares, Investor Class and Institutional Class, are offered for the Ambrus Core Bond Fund, Ambrus Tax-Conscious California Bond Fund and Ambrus Tax-Conscious National Bond Fund. As of September 30, 2023, Investor Class shares have not been issued on the Funds.
The Funds are investment companies and follow accounting and reporting guidance in the Financial Accounting Standards Board Accounting Standards Codification Topic 946.
Portfolio Valuation – Each Fund's net asset value (“NAV”) is calculated once daily at the close of regular trading hours on the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) (typically 4:00 p.m. Eastern time) on each day the NYSE is open. Securities held by the Funds are valued using the closing price or the last sale price on a national securities exchange or the National Association of Securities Dealers Automatic Quotation System (“NASDAQ”) market system where they are primarily traded. The Funds' equity securities listed on any national exchange market system will be valued at the last sale price. Equity securities traded in the over-the-counter ("OTC") market are valued at their closing sale or official closing price. If there were no transactions on that day, securities traded principally on an exchange will be valued at the mean of the last bid and ask prices prior to the market close. Fixed income securities are valued based on market quotations, which are furnished by an independent pricing service. Fixed income securities having remaining maturities of 60 days or less are generally valued at amortized cost, provided such amount approximates fair value. Securities that do not have a readily available current market value are valued in good faith by the Adviser as "valuation designee" under the oversight of the Trust's Board of Trustees. Relying on prices supplied by pricing services or dealers or using fair valuation may result in values that are higher or lower than the values used by other investment companies and investors to price the same investments. The Adviser has adopted written policies and procedures for valuing securities and other assets in circumstances where market quotes are not readily available. In the event that market quotes are not readily available, and the security or asset cannot be valued pursuant to one of the valuation methods, the value of the security or asset will be determined in good faith by the Adviser pursuant to its policies and procedures. On a quarterly basis, the Adviser's fair valuation determinations will be reviewed by the Trust's Board of Trustees. Prices for equity securities normally are supplied by an independent pricing service approved by the Trust’s Board of Trustees. Investments in other open-end investment companies are valued based on the NAV of such investment companies (which may use fair value pricing as disclosed in their prospectuses).
Fair Value Measurements The inputs and valuation techniques used to measure fair value of the Funds’ investments are summarized into three levels as described in the hierarchy below:
•  Level 1 — quoted prices in active markets for identical securities;
•  Level 2 — other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.); and
•  Level 3 — significant unobservable inputs (including the Funds’ own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments).
The fair value of a Fund’s bonds are generally based on quotes received from brokers or independent pricing services. Bonds with quotes that are based on actual trades with a sufficient level of activity on or near the measurement date are classified as Level 2 assets.
The inputs or methodology used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities. Transfers in and out are recognized at the value at the end of the period.

September 30, 2023
Significant events (such as movement in the U.S. securities market, or other regional and local developments) may occur between the time that foreign markets close (where the security is principally traded) and the time that each Fund calculates its NAV (generally, the close of the NYSE) that may impact the value of securities traded in these foreign markets. As a result, each Fund fair values foreign securities using an independent pricing service which considers the correlation of the trading patterns of the foreign security to the intraday trading in the U.S. markets for investments such as American Depositary Receipts, financial futures, exchange traded funds and certain indexes as well as prices for similar securities. Such fair valuations are categorized as Level 2 in the hierarchy.
Securities listed on a non-U.S. exchange are generally fair valued daily by an independent fair value pricing service approved by the Board of Trustees and categorized as Level 2 investments within the hierarchy. The fair valuations for these securities may not be the same as quoted or published prices of the securities on their primary markets. Securities for which daily fair value prices from the independent fair value pricing service are not available are generally valued at the last quoted sale price at the close of an exchange on which the security is traded and categorized as Level 1 investments within the hierarchy. Values of foreign securities, currencies, and other assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollars at the exchange rate of said currencies against the U.S. dollar, as of valuation time, as provided by an independent pricing service approved by the Board of Trustees.
The valuations for fixed income securities are typically the prices supplied by independent third party pricing services, which may use market prices or broker/dealer quotations or a variety of valuation techniques and methodologies. The independent third party pricing services use inputs that are observable such as issuer details, interest rates, yield curves, prepayment speeds, credit risks/spreads, default rates and quoted prices for similar securities. To the extent that these inputs are observable, the fair value of fixed income securities would be categorized as Level 2; otherwise the fair values would be categorized as Level 3.
The following is a summary of the inputs used, as of September 30, 2023, in valuing each Fund's investments carried at fair value:

At the end of each quarter, management evaluates the classification of Levels 1, 2 and 3 assets and liabilities. Various factors are considered, such as changes in liquidity from the prior reporting period; whether or not a broker is willing to execute at the quoted price; the depth and consistency of prices from third-party pricing services; and the existence of contemporaneous, observable trades in the market. Additionally, management evaluates the classification of Level 1 and Level 2 assets and liabilities on a quarterly basis for changes in listings or delistings on national exchanges.
Due to the inherent uncertainty of determining the fair value of investments that do not have a readily available market value, the fair value of the Funds’ investments may fluctuate from period to period. Additionally, the fair value of investments may differ significantly from the values that would have been used had a ready market existed for such investments and may differ materially from the values the Funds may ultimately realize. Further, such investments may be subject to legal and other restrictions on resale or otherwise less liquid than publicly traded securities.
For fair valuations using significant unobservable inputs, U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”) require the Funds to present a reconciliation of the beginning to ending balances for reported market values that present changes attributable to total realized and unrealized gains or losses, purchase and sales, and transfers in and out of Level 3 during the period. A reconciliation of Level 3 investments is presented only when the Funds had an amount of Level 3 investments at the end of the reporting period that was meaningful in relation to its net assets. The amounts and reasons for all transfers in and out of Level 3 are disclosed when the Funds had an amount of transfers during the reporting period that was meaningful in relation to its net assets as of the end of the reporting period.
For the year/period ended September 30, 2023, there were no transfers in or out of Level 3.
Use of EstimatesThe preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the period. Actual results could differ from those estimates and those differences could be material.
Investment Transactions, Investment Income and ExpensesInvestment transactions are recorded on trade date for financial statement preparation purposes. Realized gains and losses on investments sold are recorded on the identified cost basis. Gains and losses on principal paydowns from mortgage-backed securities are recorded as interest income on the Statements of Operations. Interest income is recorded on the accrual basis. Accretion of discounts and amortization of premiums are recorded on a daily basis using the effective yield method except for short term securities, which records discounts and premiums on a straight-line basis. Dividends are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Estimated components of distributions received from real estate investment trusts may be considered income, return of capital distributions or capital gain distributions. Return of capital distributions are recorded as a reduction of cost of the related investments. General expenses of the Trust are generally allocated to each Fund under methodologies approved by the Board of Trustees. Expenses directly attributable to a particular Fund in the Trust are charged directly

to that Fund. The Funds’ investment income, expenses (other than class-specific expenses) and unrealized and realized gains and losses are allocated daily to each class of shares based upon the relative proportion of net assets of each class at the beginning of the day.
Cash and Cash Equivalents — Cash and cash equivalents include cash and overnight investments in interest-bearing demand deposits with a financial institution with original maturities of three months or less. Each Fund maintains deposits with a high quality financial institution in an amount that is in excess of federally insured limits.
Dividends and Distributions to Shareholders Dividends from net investment income are declared daily and paid monthly to shareholders. Distributions, if any, of net short-term capital gain and net capital gain (the excess of net long-term capital gain over the short-term capital loss) realized by each Fund, after deducting any available capital loss carryovers are declared and paid to its shareholders annually. Income dividends and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance with U.S. federal income tax regulations, which may differ from U.S. GAAP. These differences include the treatment of non-taxable dividends, expiring capital loss carryforwards and losses deferred due to wash sales and excise tax regulations. Permanent book and tax basis differences relating to shareholder distributions will result in reclassifications within the components of net assets.
U.S. Tax Status — No provision is made for U.S. income taxes as it is each Fund's intention to continue to qualify for and elect the tax treatment applicable to regulated investment companies under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (“Internal Revenue Code”), and make the requisite distributions to its shareholders which will be sufficient to relieve it from U.S. income and excise taxes.
Other In the normal course of business, the Funds may enter into contracts that provide general indemnifications. The Funds’ maximum exposure under these arrangements is dependent on claims that may be made against the Funds in the future, and therefore, cannot be estimated; however, based on experience, the risk of material loss for such claims is considered remote.
Debt Investment Risk Debt investments are affected primarily by the financial condition of the companies or other entities that have issued them and by changes in interest rates. There is a risk that an issuer of each Fund's debt investments may not be able to meet its financial obligations (e. g., may not be able to make principal and/or interest payments when they are due or otherwise default on other financial terms) and/or seek bankruptcy protection. Securities such as high-yield bonds, e.g., bonds with low credit ratings by Moody's (Ba or lower) or Standard & Poor's (BB and lower) or if unrated are of comparable quality as determined by the Adviser, are especially subject to credit risk during periods of economic uncertainty or during economic downturns and are more likely to default on their interest and/or principal payments than higher rated securities. Debt investments may be affected by changes in interest rates. With fixed rate securities, a rise in interest rates typically causes a fall in values. The yield earned by the Fund will vary with changes in interest rates. Debt investments with longer durations tend to be more sensitive to changes in interest rates, making them more volatile than debt investments with shorter durations or floating or adjustable interest rates. The value of debt investments may fall when interest rates rise.
Concentration of Credit Risk — The Ambrus Tax-Conscious California Bond Fund primarily invests in debt obligations issued by the state of California and its political subdivisions, agencies, and public authorities to obtain funds for various public purposes. The Fund is more susceptible to factors adversely affecting issues of California municipal securities than is a municipal bond fund that is not concentrated in these issuers.

5. Federal Tax Information
The Funds have followed the authoritative guidance on accounting for and disclosure of uncertainty in tax positions, which requires the Funds to determine whether a tax position is more likely than not to be sustained upon examination, including resolution of any related appeals or litigation processes, based on the technical merits of the position. Tax positions not deemed to meet the more-likely-than-not threshold would be recorded as tax benefit or expense in the current year. Each Fund has determined that there was no effect on the financial statements from following this authoritative guidance. In the normal course of business, the Funds are subject to examination by federal, state and local jurisdictions, where applicable, for tax years for which applicable statutes of limitations have not expired.
Distributions are determined in accordance with federal income tax regulations, which may differ in amount or character from net investment income and realized gains for financial reporting purposes. Accordingly, the character of distributions and composition of net assets for tax purposes may differ from those reflected in the accompanying financial statements. To the extent these differences are permanent, such amounts are reclassified within the components of net assets based on the tax treatment; temporary differences do not require reclassifications. Net assets were not affected by these adjustments.
There were no reclassifications for the Ambrus Core Bond Fund, Ambrus Tax-Conscious California Bond Fund and Ambrus Tax-Conscious National Bond Fund.
For the year/period ended September 30, 2023, the tax character of distributions paid by the Ambrus Core Bond Fund, Ambrus Tax-Conscious California Bond Fund and Ambrus Tax-Conscious National Bond Fund were $3,645,709, $1,123,002 and $1,697,384 of ordinary income dividends and $0, $1,688,430 and $2,261,755 of tax-exempt income, respectively. For the period ended September 30, 2022, the tax character of distributions paid by the Ambrus Core Bond Fund was $11,222 of ordinary income dividends. Distributions from net investment income and short-term capital gains are treated as ordinary income for federal income tax purposes.

Basis for Opinion
These financial statements are the responsibility of the Trust’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on each of the Funds’ financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) ("PCAOB") and are required to be independent with respect to the Trust in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Trust is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of the Trust’s internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audits, we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Trust’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.
Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of September 30, 2023, by correspondence with the custodian and brokers; when replies were not received from brokers, we performed other auditing procedures. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
We have served as the auditor of one or more Ambrus investment companies since 2022.

AMBRUS FUNDS
Shareholder Tax Information
(Unaudited)
The Fund is required by Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, to advise their shareholders of the U.S. federal tax status of distributions received by the Fund's shareholders in respect of such fiscal year. During the year ended September 30, 2023, the Ambrus Core Bond Fund, Ambrus Tax-Conscious California Bond Fund and Ambrus Tax-Conscious National Bond Fund paid $3,645,709, $1,123,002 and $1,697,384 of ordinary income dividends and $0, $1,688,430 and $2,261,755 of tax-exempt income, respectively to its shareholders.
The percentage of qualified interest income related dividends not subject to withholding tax for non-resident aliens and foreign corporations received for the Ambrus Core Bond Fund, Ambrus Tax-Conscious California Bond Fund and Ambrus Tax-Conscious National Bond Fund is 97.68%, 36.11% and 39.66%, respectively.
The Ambrus Core Bond Fund, Ambrus Tax-Conscious California Bond Fund and Ambrus Tax-Conscious National Bond Fund designate 2.57%, 8.91% and 8.48%, respectively, of the ordinary income distribution as qualified dividend income pursuant to the Jobs and Growth Tax Relief Reconciliation Act of 2003.
The percentage of ordinary income dividends qualifying for the corporate dividends received deduction for the Ambrus Core Bond Fund, Ambrus Tax-Conscious California Bond Fund and Ambrus Tax-Conscious National Bond Fund are 2.57%, 11.63% and 10.50%, respectively.
A total of 29.89%. 20.96% and 16.26% of the dividends distributed during the fiscal year for the Ambrus Core Bond Fund, Ambrus Tax-Conscious California Bond Fund and Ambrus Tax-Conscious National Bond Fund, respectively, was derived from interest on U.S. government securities, which is generally exempt from state income tax.
All designations are based on financial information available as of the date of this annual report and, accordingly, are subject to change. For each item, it is the intention of the Fund to designate the maximum amount permitted under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and the regulations thereunder.
Because the Fund's fiscal year is not the calendar year, another notification will be sent with respect to calendar year 2023. The second notification, which will reflect the amount, if any, to be used by calendar year taxpayers on their U.S. federal income tax returns, will be made in conjunction with Form 1099-DIV and will be mailed in January 2024.
Foreign shareholders will generally be subject to U.S. withholding tax on the amount of their ordinary income dividends. They will generally not be entitled to a foreign tax credit or deduction for the withholding taxes paid by the Fund, if any.
In general, dividends received by tax-exempt recipients (e.g., IRAs and Keoghs) need not be reported as taxable income for U.S. federal income tax purposes. However, some retirement trusts (e.g., corporate, Keogh and 403(b)(7) plans) may need this information for their annual information reporting.
Shareholders are advised to consult their own tax advisers with respect to the tax consequences of their investment in the Fund.

AMBRUS FUNDS
Statement Regarding Liquidity Risk Management Program
(Unaudited)
The Securities and Exchange Commission adopted Rule 22e-4 under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “Liquidity Rule”) to promote effective liquidity risk management throughout the open-end investment company industry, thereby reducing the risk that funds will be unable to meet their redemption obligations and mitigating dilution of the interests of fund shareholders.
The Board of Trustees (the “Board”) of FundVantage Trust, on behalf of the Ambrus Core Bond Fund. Ambrus Tax-Conscious California Bond Fund and Ambrus Tax-Conscious National Bond Fund (each a “Fund” and, collectively, the “Funds”), met on September 18-19, 2023 (the “Meeting”) to review the liquidity risk management program (the “Program”) applicable to the Funds, pursuant to the Liquidity Rule. The Board has appointed a committee of individuals to serve as the program administrator for the Funds’ Program (the “Program Committee”). At the Meeting, the Program Committee provided the Board with a report that addressed the operation of the Program and assessed its adequacy and effectiveness of implementation and any material changes to the Program as of June 30, 2023 (the “Report”).
The Report described the Program’s liquidity classification methodology. It also described the Program Committee’s methodology in determining whether a Highly Liquid Investment Minimum (a “HLIM”) is necessary and noted that, given the composition of each Fund’s portfolio holdings, a HLIM was not currently required for any of the Funds.
The Report noted that the Program complied with the key factors for consideration under the Liquidity Rule for assessing, managing and periodically reviewing liquidity risk, as follows:
A. Each Fund’s investment strategy and liquidity of Fund investments during both normal and reasonably foreseeable stressed conditions: As part of the Report, the Program Committee reviewed each Fund’s strategy and its determination that the strategy remains appropriate for an open-end fund structure. This determination was based on each Fund’s holdings of Highly Liquid Investments, the diversification of holdings and the related average position size of the holdings.
B. Short-term and long-term cash flow projections during both normal and reasonably foreseeable stressed conditions: As part of the Report, the Program Committee reviewed historical net redemption activity and noted that it used this information as a component to establish each Fund’s reasonably anticipated trading size. Each Fund has adopted an in-kind redemption policy which may be utilized to meet larger redemption requests. The Program Committee also took into consideration each Fund’s shareholder ownership concentration and the fact that shares of the Funds are offered through intermediaries. The intermediary agreements increase the likelihood of large unanticipated redemptions, meaning a Fund may not have the ability to conduct an orderly sale of portfolio securities. The amount of assets a Fund has on these platforms is a significant factor in the ability of the Fund to meet redemption expectations. In light of each Fund’s holdings, it was noted that each Fund maintains a high level of liquidity to meet shareholder redemptions under both normal and stressed market conditions.
C. Holdings of cash and cash equivalents, as well as borrowing arrangements: As part of the Report, the Program Committee reviewed any changes in each Fund’s cash and cash equivalents positions in response to current/anticipated redemption activity or market conditions. It was noted that the Funds do not currently have a borrowing or other credit funding arrangement.

ANNUAL REPORT

This report is submitted for the general information of shareholders and is not authorized for distribution to prospective investors unless preceded or accompanied by a current prospectus.

 



 


C WORLDWIDE INTERNATIONAL EQUITIES FUND
Annual Investment Adviser's Report
September 30, 2023
(Unaudited)
Dear Shareholders,
Thank you for reviewing the annual report. We hope you and your family are well.
The last 12 months were dominated by geopolitical turbulence and macroeconomic events where the short-term narrative has been very much directed by the stance of the U.S. Federal Reserve. In this report, we will discuss our view on the markets and how the fund is currently positioned.
Looking Back
The C WorldWide International Equities Fund returned 22.92% versus the MSCI® ACWI ex USA Index which rose 20.39% during the period from September 30, 2022 to September 30, 2023.
In 2022, we navigated a year filled with considerable downturns in both equity and bond markets. However, there was a noteworthy recovery in the international equity markets during the fourth quarter of the year. 2022 was dominated by two major events; the terrible Russian invasion of Ukraine, which fueled fears of persistent higher inflation and brought energy security to the forefront. The second big event was the significant interest rate increases driven by the Fed. Fed increased the federal funds rate to 4.25% during 2022 in one of the fastest interest rate hike cycles ever. These events resulted in the worst year for global equity investors since 2008, and one of the worst years ever for bond investors.
In the first quarter of 2023, the hope was that the Chinese reopening would boost global growth and that the Fed would soon halt rate hikes. However, investors were concerned about strong labor markets leading to further tightening. This changed with the collapse of Silicon Valley Bank, Signature Bank and the rescue of Credit Suisse. Nevertheless, equity markets proved surprisingly resilient. Bond markets rallied as inflation numbers improved and a perception that a banking crisis could force central banks to stop raising rates.
In the second quarter of 2023, investor optimism was supported by stronger-than-anticipated US economic data. US labor markets continue to be resilient which led to a relatively strong consumer supporting economic growth while falling inflation pressures led the Federal Reserve to leave interest rates unchanged for the first time since last March. Elsewhere, economic news was less rosy. Both the ECB and BoE increased interest rates due to persistently high inflation, in both cases the hikes were followed by a relatively hawkish outlook. Meanwhile, in China, the reopening recovery which started earlier this year, continued to lose momentum as a consumption increase has been more than offset by a sluggish property and export sector. In Europe, several chemical companies warned of weaker than expected results. These profit warnings seem broad-based in nature as companies with exposure to both the industrial sector and the consumer expect weaker demand primarily due to end-market destocking.
While the third quarter of 2023 began with strong equity markets, the rapid rise in bond yields proved too much of a headwind, resulting in September being the worst month for equities so far this year. The 10-year US T-bill ended the quarter at 4.6%, a level last seen in 2007, and German rates are at a 12-year high. Rising bond yields have hurt the valuation of our long-duration companies and is the primary factor behind the relative underperformance in the third quarter of 2023.
We firmly believe that the long-term trend in company earnings with high cash conversion determines the generation of returns and that finding compounders is the holy grail of investing. The mindset of constantly searching for compounders is a better use of time than exhausting one’s intellectual capital and time on trading in and out of stocks and segments of the market in a desire to look good in the short term. We have had a mindset of compounding at C WorldWide Asset Management for three decades and it continues to be our mindset for tomorrow.
Our objective is to construct a long-term, focused portfolio of high-conviction stocks offering a high alpha-generating potential while maintaining a balanced risk profile. It is the long-term optimist who triumphs in the equity market, with the winner being the patient investor.

C WORLDWIDE INTERNATIONAL EQUITIES FUND
Annual Investment Adviser’s Report (Concluded)
September 30, 2023
(Unaudited)
Outlook
We are strong believers that, over the longer term, earnings drive share prices. During the past fifty years, we have seen seven global earnings recessions whereby global earnings per share have fallen by more than twenty percentage points from their peak. While every cycle has had its differences, one consistent observation has been that while you may have an earnings recession without an economic recession, you never have the reverse. With this in mind, the key questions for investors today are: will we have a recession? if so, how deep? and how deep will the ensuing earnings recession be? While we do not claim to be great economic forecasters, our observations from the recent corporate reporting season would be that irrespective of whether we get an economic recession, an earnings decline is now underway.
The portfolio is tilted towards high-quality, leading companies with strong balance sheets, and sustainable business models. The strategy invests with a long-term time horizon. Our portfolio companies are exposed to long-term growth trends and strong addressable markets and tend to have leading market positions. The strategy has a long duration and therefore tends to be more vulnerable to periods of multiple compression and sharp interest rate increases. Longer term, while our portfolio companies are not immune from cyclicality, in the event of a global recession, we would expect earnings growth for the overall portfolio to continue to remain relatively robust, given our strong exposure to secular growth trends.
History shows that high-quality companies typically perform well when global economic growth slows. Even recessions come to an end, and then it’s good to be in a position that has a longer-term perspective. Our philosophy and approach to investing continues to be that time in the market is more important than timing the market. Therefore, identify quality companies, and be patient over the longer-term.

Fund Expense Disclosure
September 30, 2023
(Unaudited)
As a shareholder of the Fund, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including redemption fees (if any), and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees, distribution and/or service (Rule 12b-1) fees (if any) and other Fund expenses. This example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Fund(s) and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds.
This example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the six-month period from April 1, 2023 through September 30, 2023 and held for the entire period.
Actual Expenses
The first line of the accompanying table provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this line, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the first line under the heading entitled "Expenses Paid During Period" to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.
Hypothetical Examples for Comparison Purposes
The second line of the accompanying table provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Fund's actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not your Fund's actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Fund(s) and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical examples with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of other funds.
Please note that the expenses shown in the accompanying table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transactional costs, such as sales charges (loads) on purchase payments (if any) or redemption fees. Therefore, the second line of each accompanying table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transactional costs were included, your costs would have been higher.

C WORLDWIDE INTERNATIONAL EQUITIES FUND
Notes to Financial Statements
September 30, 2023
1. Organization and Significant Accounting Policies
The C WorldWide International Equities Fund (the “Fund”) is a diversified, open-end management investment company registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, (the “1940 Act”), and commenced investment operations on February 28, 2022. The Fund is a separate series of FundVantage Trust (the “Trust”) which was organized as a Delaware statutory trust on August 28, 2006. The Trust is a “series trust” authorized to issue an unlimited number of separate series or classes of shares of beneficial interest. Each series is treated as a separate entity for certain matters under the 1940 Act, and for other purposes, and a shareholder of one series is not deemed to be a shareholder of any other series. The Fund offers separate classes of shares: Class A and Class I Shares. As of September 30, 2023, Class A shares have not been issued.
The Fund is an investment company and follows accounting and reporting guidance in the Financial Accounting Standards Board Accounting Standards Codification Topic 946.
Portfolio ValuationThe Fund's net asset value (“NAV”) is calculated once daily at the close of regular trading hours on the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) (typically 4:00 p.m. Eastern time) on each day the NYSE is open. Securities held by the Fund are valued using the closing price or the last sale price on a national securities exchange or the National Association of Securities Dealers Automatic Quotation System (“NASDAQ”) market system where they are primarily traded. The Fund’s equity securities listed on any national exchange market system will be valued at the last sale price. Equity securities traded in the over-the-counter ("OTC") market are valued at their closing sale or official closing price. If there were no transactions on that day, securities traded principally on an exchange will be valued at the mean of the last bid and ask prices prior to the market close. Securities that do not have a readily available current market value are valued in good faith by the Adviser as "valuation designee" under the oversight of the Trust's Board of Trustees. Relying on prices supplied by pricing services or dealers or using fair valuation may result in values that are higher or lower than the values used by other investment companies and investors to price the same investments. The Adviser has adopted written policies and procedures for valuing securities and other assets in circumstances where market quotes are not readily available. In the event that market quotes are not readily available, and the security or asset cannot be valued pursuant to one of the valuation methods, the value of the security or asset will be determined in good faith by the Adviser pursuant to its policies and procedures. On a quarterly basis, the Adviser's fair valuation determinations will be reviewed by the Trust's Board of Trustees. Prices for equity securities normally are supplied by an independent pricing service approved by the Trust’s Board of Trustees. Fixed income securities are valued based on market quotations, which are furnished by an independent pricing service. Fixed income securities having remaining maturities of 60 days or less are generally valued at amortized cost, provided such amount approximates fair value. Any assets held by the Fund that are denominated in foreign currencies are valued daily in U.S. dollars at the foreign currency exchange rates that are prevailing at the time that the Fund determines the daily NAV per share. Foreign securities may trade on weekends or other days when the Fund does not calculate NAV. As a result, the market value of these investments may change on days when you cannot buy or sell shares of the Fund. Investments in other open-end investment companies are valued based on the NAV of such investment companies (which may use fair value pricing as disclosed in their prospectuses). Exchange traded futures contracts are generally valued using the settlement price determined by the relevant exchange. Exchange traded futures contracts for which no settlement price is reported, are generally valued at the mean between the most recent bid and ask prices obtained from approved pricing services, established market makers, or from broker-dealers.
Fair Value Measurements The inputs and valuation techniques used to measure fair value of the Fund’s investments are summarized into three levels as described in the hierarchy below:
•  Level 1 — quoted prices in active markets for identical securities;
•  Level 2 — other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.); and
•  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. Transfers in and out are recognized at the value at the end of the period.

C WORLDWIDE INTERNATIONAL EQUITIES FUND
Notes to Financial Statements (Continued)
September 30, 2023
Securities listed on a non-U.S. exchange are generally fair valued daily by an independent fair value pricing service approved by the Board of Trustees and categorized as Level 2 investments within the hierarchy. The fair valuations for these securities may not be the same as quoted or published prices of the securities on their primary markets. Securities for which daily fair value prices from the independent fair value pricing service are not available are generally valued at the last quoted sale price at the close of an exchange on which the security is traded and categorized as Level 1 investments within the hierarchy. Values of foreign securities, currencies, and other assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollars at the exchange rate of said currencies against the U.S. dollar, as of valuation time, as provided by an independent pricing service approved by the Board of Trustees.
The following is a summary of the inputs used, as of September 30, 2023, in valuing the Fund's investments carried at fair value:

At the end of each quarter, management evaluates the classification of Levels 1, 2 and 3 assets and liabilities. Various factors are considered, such as changes in liquidity from the prior reporting period; whether or not a broker is willing to execute at the quoted price; the depth and consistency of prices from third-party pricing services; and the existence of contemporaneous, observable trades in the market. Additionally, management evaluates the classification of Level 1 and Level 2 assets and liabilities on a quarterly basis for changes in listings or delistings on national exchanges.
Due to the inherent uncertainty of determining the fair value of investments that do not have a readily available market value, the fair value of the Fund’s investments may fluctuate from period to period. Additionally, the fair value of investments may differ significantly from the values that would have been used had a ready market existed for such investments and may differ materially from the values the Fund may ultimately realize. Further, such investments may be subject to legal and other restrictions on resale or otherwise less liquid than publicly traded securities.
For fair valuations using significant unobservable inputs, U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”) require the Fund to present a reconciliation of the beginning to ending balances for reported market values that present changes attributable to total realized and unrealized gains or losses, purchase and sales, and transfers in and out of Level 3 during the period. A reconciliation of Level 3 investments is presented only when the Fund had an amount of Level 3 investments at the end of the reporting period that
12

 


C WORLDWIDE INTERNATIONAL EQUITIES FUND

was meaningful in relation to net assets. The amounts and reasons for all transfers in and out of Level 3 are disclosed when the Fund had an amount of transfers during the reporting period that was meaningful in relation to net assets as of the end of the reporting period.
Use of EstimatesThe preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the period. Actual results could differ from those estimates and those differences could be material.
Investment Transactions, Investment Income and Expenses — Investment transactions are recorded on trade date for financial statement preparation purposes. Realized gains and losses on investments sold are recorded on the identified cost basis. Interest income is recorded on the accrual basis. Dividends are recorded on the ex-dividend date. The Fund may be subject to foreign taxes on unrealized and realized gains on certain foreign investments. The Fund may also be subject to foreign taxes on income, a portion of which may be recoverable. The Fund applies for refunds where available. The Fund will accrue such taxes and reclaims, as applicable, based upon the current interpretation of tax rules and regulations that exist in the market in which the Fund invests. General expenses of the Trust are generally allocated to each fund under methodologies approved by the Board of Trustees. Expenses directly attributable to a particular fund in the Trust are charged directly to that fund.
Cash and Cash Equivalents — Cash and cash equivalents include cash and overnight investments in interest-bearing demand deposits with a financial institution with original maturities of three months or less. The Fund maintains deposits with a high quality financial institution in an amount that is in excess of federally insured limits.
Foreign Currency Translation — Assets and liabilities initially expressed in non-U.S. currencies are translated into U.S. dollars based on the applicable exchange rates at the date of the last business day of the financial statement period. Purchases and sales of securities, interest income, dividends, variation margin received and expenses denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollars at the exchange rates in effect on the transaction date.
The Fund does not separately report the effect of changes in foreign exchange rates from changes in market prices of securities held. Such changes are included with the net realized gain or loss and change in unrealized appreciation or depreciation on investments in the Statement of Operations. Other foreign currency transactions resulting in realized and unrealized gain or loss are reported separately as net realized gain or loss and change in unrealized appreciation or depreciation on foreign currency transactions in the Statement of Operations.
Dividends and Distributions to Shareholders — Dividends from net investment income and distributions from net realized capital gains, if any, are declared, recorded on ex-date and paid at least annually to shareholders. Income dividends and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance with U.S. federal income tax regulations, which may differ from U.S. GAAP.
U.S. Tax Status — No provision is made for U.S. income taxes as it is the Fund’s intention to continue to qualify for and elect the tax treatment applicable to regulated investment companies under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (“Internal Revenue Code”), and make the requisite distributions to its shareholder which will be sufficient to relieve it from U.S. income and excise taxes.
Other In the normal course of business, the Fund may enter into contracts that provide general indemnifications. The Fund’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is dependent on claims that may be made against the Fund in the future, and therefore, cannot be estimated; however, based on experience, the risk of material loss for such claims is considered remote.
On February 24, 2022, Russia engaged in military actions in the sovereign territory of Ukraine. The current political and financial uncertainty surrounding Russia and Ukraine may increase market volatility and the economic risk of investing in securities in these countries and may also cause uncertainty for the global economy and broader financial markets. The ultimate fallout and long-term impact from these events are not known. The Fund will continue to assess the impact on valuations and liquidity and will take any potential actions needed in accordance with procedures approved by the Board of Trustees.

C WORLDWIDE INTERNATIONAL EQUITIES FUND
Notes to Financial Statements (Continued)
September 30, 2023
Currency Risk The Fund invests in securities of foreign issuers, including American Depositary Receipts. These markets are subject to special risks associated with foreign investments not typically associated with investing in U.S. markets. Because the foreign securities in which the Fund may invest generally trade in currencies other than the U.S. dollar, changes in currency exchange rates will affect the Fund's NAV, the value of dividends and interest earned and gains and losses realized on the sale of securities. Because the NAV for the Fund is determined on the basis of U.S. dollars, the Fund may lose money by investing in a foreign security if the local currency of a foreign market depreciates against the U.S. dollar, even if the local currency value of the Fund's holdings goes up. Generally, a strong U.S. dollar relative to these other currencies will adversely affect the value of the Fund's holdings in foreign securities.
Foreign Securities Market Risk Securities of many non-U.S. companies may be less liquid and their prices more volatile than securities of comparable U.S. companies. Securities of companies traded in many countries outside the U.S., particularly emerging markets countries, may be subject to further risks due to the inexperience of local investment professionals and financial institutions, the possibility of permanent or temporary termination of trading and greater spreads between bid and asked prices of securities. In addition, non-U.S. stock exchanges and investment professionals are subject to less governmental regulation, and commissions may be higher than in the United States. Also, there may be delays in the settlement of non-U.S. stock exchange transactions.
Emerging Markets RiskThe securities of issuers located or doing substantial business in emerging market countries tend to be more volatile and less liquid than the securities of issuers located in countries with more mature economies. Emerging markets generally have less diverse and less mature economic structures and less stable political systems than those of developed countries. Investments in these countries may be subject to political, economic, legal, market and currency risks. The risks may include less protection of property rights and uncertain political and economic policies, the imposition of capital controls and/or foreign investment limitations by a country, nationalization of businesses and the imposition of sanctions by other countries, such as the United States. Recent statements by U.S. securities and accounting regulatory agencies have expressed concern regarding information access and audit quality regarding issuers in China and other emerging market countries, which could present heightened risks associated with
investments in these markets.
2. Transactions with Related Parties and Other Service Providers
C WorldWide Asset Management Fondsmaeglerselskab A/S (“C WorldWide” or the “Adviser”) serves as investment adviser to the Fund. For its services, the Adviser is paid a monthly fee at the annual rate of 0.80% of the Fund’s average daily net assets. The Adviser has contractually agreed to waive fees and/or reimburse certain expenses of the Fund to the extent necessary to ensure that the Fund’s total operating expenses (excluding taxes, fees and expenses attributable to a distribution or service plan adopted by the Trust, interest, extraordinary items, “Acquired Fund Fees and Expenses” and brokerage commissions) do not exceed 0.55% (on an annual basis) of the Fund's average daily net assets (the “Expense Limitation”). The Expense Limitation will remain in effect for an indefinite period of time, unless the Board of Trustees of the Trust approves its termination.
For the year ended September 30, 2023, the Adviser earned advisory fees of $8,005 and waived fees of $282,684.
Other Service Providers
The Bank of New York Mellon ("BNY Mellon") serves as administrator and custodian for the Fund. For providing administrative and accounting services, BNY Mellon is entitled to receive a monthly fee equal to an annual percentage rate of the Fund’s average daily net assets and is subject to certain minimum monthly fees. For providing certain custodial services, BNY Mellon is entitled to receive a monthly fee, subject to certain minimum, and out of pocket expenses.
BNY Mellon Investment Servicing (US) Inc. (the “Transfer Agent”) provides transfer agent services to the Fund. The Transfer Agent is entitled to receive a monthly fee, subject to certain minimum, and out of pocket expenses.
BNY Mellon and the Transfer Agent have the ability to recover fees waived in the prior fiscal year if the Fund terminates its agreements with BNY Mellon and the Transfer Agent within three years of commencing operations. As of September 30, 2023, the amount of potential recovery was $27,649. The ability to recover such amounts previously waived expires on February 28, 2025.

C WORLDWIDE INTERNATIONAL EQUITIES FUND
Notes to Financial Statements (Continued)
September 30, 2023
The Trust, on behalf of the Fund, has entered into agreements with financial intermediaries to provide recordkeeping, processing, shareholder communications and other services to customers of the intermediaries investing in the Fund and has agreed to compensate the intermediaries for providing those services. The fees incurred by the Fund for these services are included in Transfer agent fees in the Statements of Operations.
Foreside Funds Distributors LLC (the "Underwriter") provides principal underwriting services to the Fund pursuant to an underwriting agreement between the Trust and the Underwriter.
Trustees and Officers
The Trust is governed by its Board of Trustees. The Trustees receive compensation in the form of an annual retainer and per meeting fees for their services to the Trust. An employee of BNY Mellon serves as the Secretary of the Trust and is not compensated by the Fund or the Trust.
JW Fund Management LLC ("JWFM") provides a Principal Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer, to the Trust. Chenery Compliance Group, LLC ("Chenery") provides the Trust with a Chief Compliance Officer and an Anti-Money Laundering Officer. Prior to December 1, 2022, ACA Group ("ACA"), operating through its subsidiary, Foreside Fund Officer Services LLC, provided the Trust with a Chief Compliance Officer and an Anti-Money Laundering Officer. JWFM and Chenery are compensated for their services provided to the Trust. ACA was compensated for its services provided to the Trust through November 30, 2022.
3. Investment in Securities
For the year ended September 30, 2023, aggregated purchases and sales of investment securities (excluding short-term investments) of the Fund were as follows:
  Purchases   Sales
Investment Securities $249,974   $187,232
4. Capital Share Transactions
For the year ended September 30, 2023 and for the period from February 28, 2022 (commencement of operations) to September 30, 2022, transactions in capital shares (authorized shares unlimited) were as follows:
  For the Year Ended
September 30, 2023
  For the Period Ended
September 30, 2022
  Shares   Amount   Shares   Amount
Class I              
Sales 4,660   $ 50,000   100,001   $1,000,005
Reinvestments 887   8,587    
Redemptions (4,625)   (50,000)   (1)   (5)
Net increase 922   $ 8,587   100,000   $1,000,000
As of September 30, 2023, the Adviser is the sole shareholder. If the Adviser were to request a redemption from the Fund, the Fund would likely commence an orderly liquidation upon approval from the Board of Trustees.
5. Federal Tax Information
The Fund has followed the authoritative guidance on accounting for and disclosure of uncertainty in tax positions, which requires the Fund to determine whether a tax position is more likely than not to be sustained upon examination, including resolution of any
15

 


C WORLDWIDE INTERNATIONAL EQUITIES FUND
Notes to Financial Statements (Concluded)
September 30, 2023
related appeals or litigation processes, based on the technical merits of the position. Tax positions not deemed to meet the more-likely-than-not threshold would be recorded as tax benefit or expense in the current year. The Fund has determined that there was no effect on the financial statements from following this authoritative guidance. In the normal course of business, the Fund is subject to examination by federal, state and local jurisdictions, where applicable, for tax years for which applicable statutes of limitations have not expired.
Distributions are determined in accordance with federal income tax regulations, which may differ in amount or character from net investment income and realized gains for financial reporting purposes. Accordingly, the character of distributions and composition of net assets for tax purposes may differ from those reflected in the accompanying financial statements. To the extent these differences are permanent, such amounts are reclassified within the components of net assets based on the tax treatment; temporary differences do not require reclassifications. For the year ended September 30, 2023, there were reclassifications between components of total distributable earnings. These permanent differences were primarily attributable to reclasses from capital gain to ordinary income. Net assets were not affected by these adjustments. For the year ended September 30, 2023, there were no permanent differences reclassified between distributable earnings and paid in capital.
As of September 30, 2023, the components of distributable earnings on a tax basis were as follows:
Capital Loss
Carryforward
  Undistributed
Ordinary
Income
  Unrealized
Appreciation/
(Depreciation)
$(8,545)   $7,774   $(33,881)
         
As of September 30, 2023, the federal tax cost, aggregate gross unrealized appreciation and depreciation of securities held by the Fund was as follows:
Federal Tax Cost $1,028,370
Unrealized Appreciation 88,049
Unrealized Depreciation (121,863)
Net Unrealized Depreciation $ (33,814)
Pursuant to federal income tax rules applicable to regulated investment companies, the Fund may elect to treat certain net capital losses between November 1 and September 30 and late year ordinary losses ((i) ordinary losses between January 1 and September 30, and (ii) specified ordinary and currency losses between November 1 and September 30) as occurring on the first day of the following tax year. For the year ended September 30, 2023, any amount of losses elected within the tax return will not be recognized for federal income tax purposes until October 1, 2023. As of September 30, 2023, the Fund had no capital loss deferrals and no late year ordinary loss deferrals.
Accumulated capital losses represent net capital loss carryforwards as of September 30, 2023 that may be available to offset
future realized capital gains and thereby reduce future capital gains distributions. As of September 30, 2023, the Fund had capital loss
carryforward of $8,545, all of which are long-term losses and have an unlimited period of capital loss carryforward.
6. Subsequent Events
Management has evaluated the impact of all subsequent events on the Fund through the date the financial statements were issued, and has determined that there are no subsequent events requiring recognition or disclosure in the financial statements.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
Board of Trustees and Shareholders of FundVantage Trust
Opinion on the financial statements
We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities of the C WorldWide International Equities Fund (the “Fund”), including the portfolio of investments, as of September 30, 2023, the related statements of operations for the year then ended, and the statement of changes in net assets and financial highlights for the year then ended and for the period from February 28, 2022 (commencement of operations) to September 30, 2022, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the “financial statements”). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Fund as of September 30, 2023, the results of its operations for the year then ended, and change in its net assets and the financial highlights for the year then ended and for the period from February 28, 2022 (commencement of operations) through September 30, 2022, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
Basis for opinion
These financial statements are the responsibility of the Fund’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Fund’s financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (“PCAOB”) and are required to be independent with respect to the Fund in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Fund is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audits, we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting 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.
Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of September 30, 2023 by correspondence with the custodian. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

Shareholder Tax Information
(Unaudited)
The Fund is required by Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code to advise its shareholders of the U.S. federal tax status of distributions received by the Fund’s shareholders in respect of such fiscal year. During the year ended September 30, 2023, the Fund paid $12,267 of ordinary income dividends to its shareholders. Dividends from net investment income and short-term capital gains are treated as ordinary income dividends for federal income tax purposes.
The Fund designates 99.59% of the ordinary income distribution as qualified dividend income pursuant to the Jobs and Growth Tax Relief Reconciliation Act of 2003.
The C WorldWide International Equities Fund paid foreign taxes and recognized foreign source income as follows:
  Foreign Taxes Paid   Foreign Source Income
  $2,502   $18,897
All designations are based on financial information available as of the date of this annual report and, accordingly, are subject to change. For each item, it is the intention of the Fund to designate the maximum amount permitted under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and the regulations thereunder.
Because the Fund's fiscal year is not the calendar year, another notification will be sent with respect to calendar year 2023. The second notification, which will reflect the amount, if any, to be used by calendar year taxpayers on their U.S. federal income tax returns will be made in conjunction with Form 1099-DIV and will be mailed in January 2024.
Foreign shareholders will generally be subject to U.S. withholding tax on the amount of their ordinary income dividends. They will generally not be entitled to a foreign tax credit or deduction for the withholding taxes paid by a Fund, if any.
In general, dividends received by tax-exempt recipients (e.g., IRAs and Keoghs) need not be reported as taxable income for U.S. federal income tax purposes. However, some retirement trusts (e.g., corporate, Keogh and 403(b)(7) plans) may need this information for their annual information reporting.
Shareholders are advised to consult their own tax advisers with respect to the tax consequences of their investment in a Fund.

C WORLDWIDE INTERNATIONAL EQUITIES FUND
Statement Regarding Liquidity Risk Management Program
(Unaudited)
The Securities and Exchange Commission adopted Rule 22e-4 under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “Liquidity Rule”) to promote effective liquidity risk management throughout the open-end investment company industry, thereby reducing the risk that funds will be unable to meet their redemption obligations and mitigating dilution of the interests of fund shareholders.
The Board of Trustees (the “Board”) of FundVantage Trust, on behalf of the C WorldWide International Equities Fund (the “Fund”), met on September 18-19, 2023 (the “Meeting”) to review the liquidity risk management program (the “Program”) applicable to the Fund, pursuant to the Liquidity Rule. The Board has appointed a committee of individuals to serve as the program administrator for the Fund’s Program (the “Program Committee”). At the Meeting, the Program Committee provided the Board with a report that addressed the operation of the Program and assessed its adequacy and effectiveness of implementation and any material changes to the Program as of June 30, 2023 (the “Report”).
The Report described the Program’s liquidity classification methodology. It also described the Program Committee’s methodology in determining whether a Highly Liquid Investment Minimum (a “HLIM”) is necessary and noted that, given the composition of the Fund’s portfolio holdings, a HLIM was not currently required for the Fund.
The Report noted that the Program complied with the key factors for consideration under the Liquidity Rule for assessing, managing and periodically reviewing liquidity risk, as follow:
A. The Fund’s investment strategy and liquidity of Fund investments during both normal and reasonably foreseeable stressed conditions: As part of the Report, the Program Committee reviewed the Fund’s strategy and its determination that the strategy remains appropriate for an open-end fund structure. This determination was based on the Fund’s holdings of Highly Liquid Investments, the diversification of holdings and the related average position size of the holdings.
B. Short-term and long-term cash flow projections during both normal and reasonably foreseeable stressed conditions: As part of the Report, the Program Committee reviewed historical net redemption activity and noted that it used this information as a component to establish the Fund’s reasonably anticipated trading size. The Fund has adopted an in-kind redemption policy which may be utilized to meet larger redemption requests. The Program Committee also took into consideration the Fund’s shareholder ownership concentration and the fact that the shares of the Fund are offered through intermediaries. The intermediary agreements increase the likelihood of large unanticipated redemptions, meaning a Fund may not have the ability to conduct an orderly sale of portfolio securities. The amount of assets a Fund has on these platforms is a significant factor in the ability of the Fund to meet redemption expectations. In light of the Fund’s holdings, it was noted that the Fund maintains a high level of liquidity to meet shareholder redemptions under both normal and stressed market conditions.
C. Holdings of cash and cash equivalents, as well as borrowing arrangements: As part of the Report, the Program Committee reviewed any changes in the Fund’s cash and cash equivalents positions in response to current/anticipated redemption activity or market conditions. It was noted that the Fund does not currently have a borrowing or other credit funding arrangement.

Important Information
The performance data quoted in this report represents past performance and does not guarantee future results. The investment return and principal value of an investment in a Gotham Fund will fluctuate so that an investor's shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. Current performance may be lower or higher. Performance data current to the most recent month-end may be obtained by calling (877) 974-6852.
Each Gotham Fund covered by this report (each a "Fund") compares its performance to an unmanaged index. An index does not reflect operational and transactional costs which apply to a mutual fund. It is not possible to invest directly in an index.
Mutual fund investing involves risks, including possible loss of principal. Each Fund except Gotham Large Value Fund and Gotham Enhanced S&P 500 Index Fund will short securities. Short sales theoretically involve unlimited loss potential since the market price of securities sold short may continuously increase. Each Fund, except Gotham Large Value Fund and Gotham Enhanced S&P 500 Index Fund, will also use leverage to make additional investments which could result in greater losses than if the Fund were not leveraged. Gotham Absolute Return Fund, Gotham Enhanced Return Fund, Gotham Neutral Fund, Gotham Index Plus Fund, Gotham Defensive Long 500 Fund and Gotham Short Strategies Fund utilize one or more swap agreements in their investment programs. The use of derivatives, such as swaps, exposes a Fund to additional risks including increased volatility, lack of liquidity and possible losses greater than a Fund’s initial investments. Gotham Total Return Fund will primarily engage in short sales, leverage and swaps through its investments in underlying funds. Certain Funds may invest in securities of large-, mid- and small-cap companies. The securities issued by small-cap and mid-cap companies tend to be more volatile and less liquid than those of large-cap issuers. Each Fund may have a high turnover of its portfolio securities. High turnover rates generally result in higher brokerage costs to a Fund. There can be no guarantee that a Fund will achieve its objectives.
A prospective investor should consider the investment objectives, risks, charges and expenses of a Fund carefully before investing. The prospectus and summary prospectus contains this and other information about the Funds, and should be read carefully before investing. A copy of the prospectus or summary prospectus is available at www.GothamFunds.com or by calling (877) 974-6852.

Dear Shareholder,
US equity markets rebounded off October 2022 lows over the course of the fiscal year ending September 30, 2023. The S&P 500 Index and Russell 1000 Index returned 21.6% and 21.1% respectively for the fiscal year. The Russell 2000 Index, a small-cap benchmark, returned 8.9%. Much of the appreciation for large-cap benchmarks was driven by seven mega-cap technology stocks. This is clearly reflected in the discrepancy in returns between equally-weighted and market-cap weighted indices. The Russell 1000 Equal Weight benchmark returned 10.0% for the fiscal year, underperforming the Russell 1000 significantly. The Russell 1000 Growth benchmark returned 27.7% compared to 14.4% for the Russell 1000 Value benchmark. Despite these market-level headwinds, many of our strategies were able to generate positive long/short spreads during the fiscal year. The Gotham Index Plus Fund (+25.6%) outperformed the S&P 500, the Gotham Absolute Return Fund (+18.5%) outperformed the HFRI Equity Hedge Index, and the Gotham Neutral Fund returned 11.3%. These results are generally consistent across our strategies.
The S&P 500 currently trades at a 4.3% cash flow yield based on Gotham’s proprietary metrics ("Gotham Yield")1. This puts the S&P 500 at the 13th percentile towards expensive over our research history of the last 30 years. Cumulative two-year forward returns for the index from these valuation levels in the past have averaged 10%-12%. The Russell 2000 currently trades at a 2.3% Gotham Yield, a level corresponding to the 4th percentile over the last 30 years. Two-year forward returns for the Russell 2000 have averaged 5% - 7% from these levels in the past.2
Looking forward, we make no predictions regarding market-level returns, the relative performance of equal-weighted vs market cap-weighted benchmarks, or value vs. growth style indices. Objectively, the Russell 1000 is outperforming the Russell 1000 Equal Weight by the largest margin since 1990. The Value/Growth divergence is run rating at levels on par with the peak of the Tech Bubble. US equity markets may have entered a new paradigm where these trends persist indefinitely. Many investors felt this way in 1973, 2000, and even a few years ago in 2020. We note that each time, there was significant reversion that provided a tailwind to disciplined, valuation-driven investment strategies.
In summary, we are pleased with our results for the fiscal year, particularly considering overall market dynamics. We are equally enthusiastic about our opportunity set going forward.
1 Gotham Yield is a proprietary free cash flow yield metric based on Gotham's methodology and is used to compare companies in a consistently meaningful way. Gotham Yield is defined as recurring, pre-tax operational free cashflow divided by adjusted enterprise value. Gotham's analyst team uses some discretion in calculating a company's pre-tax cashflow and enterprise value. Companies for which there is not applicable data to calculate Gotham Yield, primarily balance sheet financial companies, have been excluded.
2 Valuation levels are as of November 15, 2023.

Past performance does not guarantee future results. The graph and table do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on Fund distributions or redemption of Fund shares; nor a 1.00% fee applied by the Fund’s Institutional Class to the value of shares redeemed within 30 days of purchase.
As stated in the current prospectus dated February 1, 2023, the “Total Annual Fund Operating Expenses” are 1.74% and the “Total Annual Fund Operating Expenses After Fee Waivers and/or Expense Reimbursements” are 1.50% for Institutional Class Shares of the Fund’s average daily net assets. These ratios may differ from the actual expense incurred by the Fund for the period covered by this report. Gotham Asset Management, LLC (“Gotham” or the “Adviser”) has contractually agreed to reduce its investment advisory fee and/or reimburse certain expenses of the Fund to the extent necessary to ensure that the Fund’s "Other Expenses" (exclusive of taxes, dividend and interest expense on securities sold short, interest, extraordinary items, and brokerage commissions) do not exceed 0.00% (on an annual basis) of average daily net assets of the Fund (the “Expense Limitation”). The Expense Limitation will remain in place until January 31, 2024, unless the Board of Trustees of FundVantage Trust (the “Trust”) approves its earlier termination. Additionally, Gotham has contractually agreed to reduce the Fund's annual investment advisory fee by the dollar amount of "total annual fund operating expenses after fee waivers" attributable to any Fund assets invested in other investment companies advised or sub-advised by Gotham (each an "underlying fund" and collectively, the "underlying funds"), and the amount of such reduction is calculated based on the Fund's average daily assets invested in an underlying fund and the "total annual fund operating expenses after fee waivers" disclosed in such underlying fund's "Annual Fund Operating Expenses" table in the summary section of an underlying fund's currently effective prospectus. The effect of the reduction is intended to provide that Gotham's aggregate direct and indirect compensation from the Fund and any underlying fund, respectively, does not exceed the 1.50% annual investment advisory fee paid by the Fund.

The graph and table do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on Fund distributions or redemption of Fund shares; nor a 1.00% fee applied by the Fund’s Institutional Class to the value of shares redeemed within 30 days of purchase.
As stated in the current prospectus dated February 1, 2023, the “Total Annual Fund Operating Expenses” are 4.44% and the “Total Annual Fund Operating Expenses After Fee Waivers and/or Expense Reimbursements” are 2.12% for Institutional Class Shares of the Fund’s average daily net assets. These ratios may differ from the actual expense incurred by the Fund for the period covered by this report. Gotham Asset Management, LLC (“Gotham” or the “Adviser”) has contractually agreed to reduce its investment advisory fee and/or reimburse certain expenses of the Fund to the extent necessary to ensure that the Fund’s total operating expenses (exclusive of taxes, “Acquired Fund Fees and Expenses”, dividend and interest expense on securities sold short, interest, extraordinary items, and brokerage commissions) do not exceed 1.15% (on an annual basis) of average daily net assets of the Fund (the “Expense Limitation”). The Expense Limitation will remain in place until January 31, 2024, unless the Board of Trustees of FundVantage Trust (the “Trust”) approves its earlier termination. The Adviser is entitled to recover, subject to approval by the Board of Trustees, such amounts reduced or reimbursed for a period of up to three (3) years from the date on which the Adviser reduced its compensation and/or assumed expenses for the Fund. The Adviser is permitted to seek reimbursement from the Fund, subject to certain limitations, for fees it waived and Fund expenses it paid to the extent the total annual fund operating expenses do not exceed the limits described above or any lesser limits in effect at the time of reimbursement. No recoupment will occur unless the Fund’s expenses are below the Expense Limitation.
The Fund evaluates its performance as compared to that of the S&P 500® Total Return Index. The S&P 500® Total Return Index is a market capitalization weighted index of 500 large-capitalization stocks commonly used to represent the U.S. equity market. Its returns reflect reinvested dividends.

Comparison of Change in Value of $100,000 Investment in Gotham Short Strategies Fund Institutional Class Shares
vs. the 50% Inverse of the Standard & Poor’s 500® Total Return Index (“50% Inverse of the S&P 500®”)
Average Annual Total Returns for the Years Ended September 30, 2023
  1 Year   3 Years   5 Years   10 Years
Institutional Class Shares* -7.98%   4.50%   -0.85%   -2.29%
50% Inverse of the S&P 500® -8.94%   -6.58%   -6.34%   -6.85%

* A privately offered fund (the “Predecessor Fund”) managed by Gotham Asset Management, LLC was reorganized into the Gotham Short Strategies Fund (the “Fund” or “GSSFX”) on July 31, 2017, the date GSSFX commenced operations. The Predecessor Fund was organized and commenced operations in February 2008 and had an investment objective, investment policies and restrictions that were, in all material respects, equivalent to those of GSSFX. However, the Predecessor Fund was not registered as an investment company under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”). In addition, this Predecessor Fund was not subject to certain investment limitations, diversification requirements, liquidity requirements, and other restrictions imposed by the 1940 Act and the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, which, if applicable, might have adversely affected its performance. GSSFX’s performance for periods prior to the commencement of operations on July 31, 2017 is that of the Predecessor Fund adjusted to reflect GSSFX’s fee structure.
Past performance does not guarantee future results. The graph and table do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on Fund distributions or redemption of Fund shares; nor a 1.00% fee applied by the Fund’s Institutional Class to the value of shares redeemed within 30 days of purchase.
As stated in the current prospectus dated February 1, 2023, the “Total Annual Fund Operating Expenses” are 3.52% and the “Total Annual Fund Operating Expenses After Fee Waivers and/or Expense Reimbursements” are 1.35% for Institutional Class Shares of the Fund’s average daily net assets. These ratios may differ from the actual expense incurred by the Fund for the period covered by this report. Gotham Asset Management, LLC (“Gotham” or the “Adviser”) has contractually agreed to reduce its investment advisory fee and/or reimburse certain expenses of the Fund to the extent necessary to ensure that the Fund’s total operating expenses (exclusive of taxes, “Acquired Fund Fees and Expenses”, dividend and interest expense on securities sold short, interest, extraordinary items, and brokerage commissions) do not exceed 1.35% (on an annual basis) of average daily net assets of the Fund (the “Expense Limitation”). The Expense Limitation will remain in place until January 31, 2024, unless the Board of Trustees of FundVantage Trust (the “Trust”) approves its earlier termination.
The Fund evaluates its performance as compared to that of the 50% Inverse of the S&P 500®. The 50% Inverse of the S&P 500® reflects the return of the S&P 500® adjusted to show the negative 50% targeted net short exposure of the Predecessor Fund. Its returns reflect reinvested dividends.

Fund Expense Disclosure
September 30, 2023
(Unaudited)
As a shareholder of the Funds, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including redemption fees; and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees, distribution and/or service (Rule 12b-1) fees (if any) and other Fund expenses. These examples are intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Fund(s) and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds.
These examples are based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the six-month period from April 1, 2023 through September 30, 2023.
Actual Expenses
The first line for each Fund in the accompanying table provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this line, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000= 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the first line under the heading entitled "Expenses Paid During Period" to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.
Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes
The second line for each Fund in the accompanying table provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Fund's actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not your Fund's actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Fund and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of other funds.
Please note that the expenses shown in the accompanying table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transactional costs, such as redemption fees. Therefore, the second line of the accompanying table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transactional costs were included, your costs would have been higher.

1. Organization and Significant Accounting Policies
The Gotham Absolute Return Fund, the Gotham Enhanced Return Fund, the Gotham Neutral Fund, the Gotham Index Plus Fund, the Gotham Large Value Fund, the Gotham Enhanced S&P 500 Index Fund, the Gotham Hedged Core Fund, the Gotham Defensive Long 500 Fund, the Gotham Total Return Fund, the Gotham Enhanced 500 Plus Fund and the Gotham Short Strategies Fund (each a “Fund” and together, the “Funds”) are each a diversified, open-end management investment company registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”). The Funds are each a separate series of FundVantage Trust (the “Trust”) which was organized as a Delaware statutory trust on August 28, 2006. The Trust is a “series trust” authorized to issue an unlimited number of separate series or classes of shares of beneficial interest. Each series is treated as a separate entity for certain matters under the 1940 Act, and for other purposes, and a shareholder of one series is not deemed to be a shareholder of any other series. Each of the Funds, except for the Gotham Index Plus Fund, offers one class of shares, Institutional Class. The Gotham Index Plus Fund offers two classes of shares, Institutional Class and Investor Class. The Funds’ commencement of operations are as follows:
Gotham Absolute Return Fund ("Absolute Return") August 31, 2012
Gotham Enhanced Return Fund ("Enhanced Return") May 31, 2013
Gotham Neutral Fund ("Neutral") August 30, 2013
Gotham Index Plus Fund ("Index Plus") March 31, 2015
Gotham Large Value Fund ("Large Value") December 31, 2015
Gotham Enhanced S&P 500 Index Fund ("Enhanced S&P 500 Index") December 30, 2016
Gotham Hedged Core Fund ("Hedged Core") September 30, 2016
Gotham Defensive Long 500 Fund ("Defensive Long 500") September 30, 2016
Gotham Total Return Fund ("Total Return")
(operates as a "Fund of Funds")
March 31, 2015
Gotham Enhanced 500 Plus Fund ("Enhanced 500 Plus") September 30, 2016
Gotham Short Strategies Fund ("Short Strategies") July 31, 2017
All the Funds, except for Large Value, Enhanced S&P 500 Index and Total Return, seek to achieve their investment objectives by primarily investing in long and short positions of U.S. equity securities. Equity securities include common and preferred stocks. Large Value seeks to achieve its investment objective by primarily investing in long positions of U.S. large capitalization equity securities with market capitalization similar to companies in the S&P 500® Index or Russell 1000® Index, but may invest in other large capitalization companies. Enhanced S&P 500 Index seeks to achieve its investment objective by generally investing at least 80% of its assets in U.S. equity securities listed in the S&P 500® Index. Total Return seeks to achieve its investment objective by primarily investing in other investment companies advised or sub-advised by Gotham.
The Funds are investment companies and follow accounting and reporting guidance in the Financial Accounting Standards Board Accounting Standards Codification Topic 946.
Portfolio Valuation — Each Fund’s net asset value (“NAV”) is calculated once daily at the close of regular trading hours on the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) (typically 4:00 p.m. Eastern time) on each business day the NYSE is open. Each Fund’s equity securities, including exchange-traded funds, listed on any national or foreign exchange market system will be valued at the last sale price. Equity securities traded in the over-the-counter ("OTC") market are valued at their closing sale or official closing price. If there were no transactions on that day, securities traded principally on an exchange will be valued at the mean of the last bid and ask prices prior to the market close. Securities that do not have a readily available current market value are valued in good faith by Gotham Asset Management, LLC ("Gotham" or "the Adviser") as "valuation designee" under the oversight of the Trust's Board of Trustees. Relying on prices supplied by pricing services or dealers or using fair valuation may result in values that are higher or lower than the values used by other investment companies and investors to price the same investments. The Adviser has adopted written policies and procedures for valuing securities and other assets in circumstances where market quotes are not readily available. In the event that market quotes are not readily available, and the security or asset cannot be valued pursuant to one of the valuation methods, the value of the security or asset will be determined in good faith by the Adviser pursuant to its policies and procedures. On a quarterly basis, the Adviser's fair valuation determinations will be reviewed by the Trust's Board of Trustees. Prices for equity securities normally are supplied by an independent pricing service approved by the Board of Trustees (the “Board”). Any assets held by a Fund that are denominated in foreign currencies are valued daily in U.S. dollars at the foreign currency exchange rates that are prevailing at the time that a Fund
303

 


GOTHAM FUNDS

determines the daily NAV per share. Foreign securities may trade on weekends or other days when a Fund does not calculate NAV. As a result, the market value of these investments may change on days when you cannot buy or sell shares of a Fund. Certain Funds invest in securities of other investment companies, which are valued at their respective NAVs as determined by those investment companies each business day. OTC investments (including swap agreements) are generally valued by approved pricing services that use evaluated prices from various observable market factors.
Fair Value Measurements The inputs and valuation techniques used to measure fair value of the Funds’ investments are summarized into three levels as described in the hierarchy below:
•  Level 1 — quoted prices in active markets for identical securities;
•  Level 2 — other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.); and
•  Level 3 — significant unobservable inputs (including the Funds’ 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. Transfers in and out are recognized at the value at the end of the period.
All financial instruments listed in the Portfolio of Investments are considered Level 1, measured at fair value on a recurring basis based on quoted prices for identical assets in active markets, except for the following: one long security was fair valued with an end of period value of $0, $0, and $0 held by the Absolute Return, Enhanced Return and Neutral, respectively; and total return swaps with an end of period unrealized appreciation of $71,933,140, $35,410,618, $11,753,080, $115,635,248, $4,496,484 and $2,008,793 held by Absolute Return, Enhanced Return, Neutral, Index Plus, Defensive Long 500 and Short Strategies, respectively. These securities are considered Level 2 as of and for the year ended September 30, 2023.
At the end of each quarter, management evaluates the classification of Levels 1, 2 and 3 assets and liabilities. Various factors are considered, such as changes in liquidity from the prior reporting period; whether or not a broker is willing to execute at the quoted price; the depth and consistency of prices from third-party pricing services; and the existence of contemporaneous, observable trades in the market. Additionally, management evaluates the classification of Level 1 and Level 2 assets and liabilities on a quarterly basis for changes in listings or delistings on national exchanges.
Due to the inherent uncertainty of determining the fair value of investments that do not have a readily available market value, the fair value of a Funds’ investments may fluctuate from period to period. Additionally, the fair value of investments may differ significantly from the values that would have been used had a ready market existed for such investments and may differ materially from the values the Funds may ultimately realize. Further, such investments may be subject to legal and other restrictions on resale or otherwise less liquid than publicly traded securities.
For fair valuations using significant unobservable inputs, U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”) require the Funds to present a reconciliation of the beginning to ending balances for reported market values that present changes attributable to total realized and unrealized gains or losses, purchase and sales, and transfers in and out of Level 3 during the period. A reconciliation of Level 3 investments is presented only when the Funds had an amount of Level 3 investments at the end of the reporting period that was meaningful in relation to net assets. The amounts and reasons for all transfers in and out of Level 3 are disclosed when the Funds had an amount of transfers during the reporting period that was meaningful in relation to net assets as of the end of the reporting period.
For the year ended September 30, 2023, there were no transfers in or out of Level 3.
Use of EstimatesThe preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the period. Actual results could differ from those estimates and those differences could be material.

Cash and Cash Equivalents — Cash and cash equivalents include cash and overnight investments in interest-bearing demand deposits with a financial institution with original maturities of three months or less. Each Fund maintains deposits with a high quality financial institution in an amount that is in excess of federally insured limits.
Due to/from Brokers Due to/from brokers represents cash balances on deposit with, or cash balances owed to, the Funds’ prime brokers and counterparties. The Funds are subject to credit risk should the prime brokers and counterparties be unable to meet their obligations to the Funds.
Investment Transactions, Investment Income and Expenses — Investment transactions are recorded on trade date for financial statement preparation purposes. Realized gains and losses on investments sold are recorded on the identified cost basis. Interest income is recorded on the accrual basis. Dividends are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Distribution (12b-1) fees and shareholder services fees relating to a specific class are charged directly to that class. The Fund records as dividend income the amount characterized as ordinary income and records as realized gain the amount characterized by a REIT as long-term capital gain in the Statements of Operations. The amount characterized as return of capital is a reduction to the cost of investments in the Statements of Assets and Liabilities if the security is still held; otherwise it is recorded as an adjustment to realized gain/(loss) from investment transactions in the Statements of Operations. These characterizations are reflected in the accompanying financial statements. General expenses of the Trust are generally allocated to each Fund under methodologies approved by the Board of Trustees. Expenses directly attributable to a particular Fund in the Trust are charged directly to that Fund.
Dividends and Distributions to Shareholders Dividends from net investment income and distributions from net realized capital gains, if any, are declared, recorded on ex-date and paid at least annually to shareholders. Income dividends and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance with U.S. federal income tax regulations, which may differ from U.S. GAAP. These differences include the treatment of non-taxable dividends, capitalized dividends on short sales, losses deferred due to wash sales and excise tax regulations. Permanent book and tax basis differences relating to shareholder distributions will result in reclassifications within the components of net assets.
U.S. Tax Status — No provision is made for U.S. income taxes as it is each Fund's intention to continue to qualify for and elect the tax treatment applicable to regulated investment companies under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (“Internal Revenue Code”), and make the requisite distributions to such Fund's shareholders, which will be sufficient to relieve it from U.S. income and excise taxes.
Other In the normal course of business, the Funds may enter into contracts that provide general indemnifications. The Funds’ maximum exposure under these arrangements is dependent on claims that may be made against the Funds in the future, and therefore, cannot be estimated; however, based on experience, the risk of material loss for such claims is considered remote.
The SEC adopted Rule 18f-4 (the “Derivatives Rule”) under the 1940 Act. The Derivatives Rule generally requires a fund to adopt a written derivatives risk management program with risk guidelines that must cover certain elements, but that will otherwise be tailored based on how a fund’s use of derivatives may affect its investment portfolio and overall risk profile. A fund’s derivatives risk management program must also include provisions for stress testing, backtesting, internal reporting and escalation, and program review elements.
The Derivatives Rule requires funds engaging in derivatives transactions to comply with an outer limit on fund leverage risk based on a fund’s value at risk (“VaR”). This outer limit is based on a relative VaR test that compares the fund’s VaR to the VaR of a designated reference portfolio for that fund, or, in the absence of an appropriate reference portfolio, to 20% of the value of the fund’s net assets.
The Derivatives Rule requires that a Fund’s Board of Directors approve the appointment of a person or persons to oversee the administration of a Fund’s derivatives risk management program (“Derivatives Risk Manager” or “DRM”). The Board has appointed a person or persons from the Fund’s investment adviser to serve as the DRM for the Program pursuant to Rule 18f-4. The DRM responsibilities include:
•       Regular communication with the Investment Adviser with respect to the implementation of the Program;
305

•       Completion and monitoring of a risk assessment for each Fund; and
•       Periodic reporting to the Board.
Short SalesAll Funds except for Large Value and Enhanced S&P 500 Index may sell securities short. Total Return indirectly invests in short sales through its underlying securities. A short sale involves the sale by a Fund of a security that it does not own with the anticipation of purchasing the same security at a later date at a lower price. If the price of the security has increased during this time, then the Fund will incur a loss equal to the increase in price from the time that the short sale was entered into plus any premiums and interest paid to the third party. Therefore, short sales involve the risk that losses may be exaggerated, potentially losing more money than the actual cost of the investment. Also, there is the risk that the third party to the short sale may fail to honor its contract terms, causing a loss to the Fund. There can be no assurance that a Fund will be able to close out a short position at any particular time or at an acceptable price. Although a Fund’s gain is limited to the amount at which it sold a security short, its potential loss is unlimited. The Funds will comply with guidelines established by the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") and other applicable regulatory bodies with respect to coverage of short sales.
As of September 30, 2023, the following Funds had securities sold short, securities pledged as collateral and deposits with brokers for securities sold short:
  Value of
Securities
Sold Short
  Securities
Pledged
as Collateral
  Deposits with
Brokers for
Securities Sold Short
Hedged Core $2,632,648   $4,222,525   $99,547
Enhanced 500 Plus 1,476,986   2,920,046   37,323
In accordance with the terms of its prime brokerage agreements, the Funds may receive rebate income or be charged fees on securities sold short. Such income or fee is calculated on a daily basis based upon the market value of securities sold short and a variable rate that is dependent upon the availability of such security. These amounts are included in dividends and fees on securities sold short on the Statements of Operations. In those instances where rebate income is in excess of dividends on securities sold short and finance charges, the net amount is shown in the Investment Income section on the Statements of Operations. On the ex-dividend date, dividends on short sales are recorded as an expense to the Fund. The following Funds had net charges as shown in the table below for the year ended September 30, 2023:
  Dividends on
Securities Sold Short
  Rebate
(Income)/Fees
Hedged Core $43,263   $(117,187)
Enhanced 500 Plus 25,883   (61,644)
The following Funds utilized short sales proceeds and incurred financing charges to finance purchases of long securities in order to accomplish the Funds' respective investment objectives. A financing fee is charged to the Funds based on the Federal Funds rate plus an agreed upon spread. These fees are included in dividends and fees on securities sold short on the Statements of Operations and are as follows for the year ended September 30, 2023:
  Short Sales

Charges
Hedged Core $2,563,649   $135,025
Enhanced 500 Plus 1,438,685   70,073
Swap Agreements — A swap agreement is a bilateral financial instrument that involves the exchange of cash flows between two parties on specified dates (settlement dates), where the cash flows are based on valuation changes to market referenced securities. The nominal amount on which the cash flows are calculated is called the notional amount.
Swap agreements may increase or decrease the overall volatility of the investments of a Fund and its share price. The performance of swap agreements will be affected by a change in the market value of the referenced underlying securities that
306

 


GOTHAM FUNDS

determine the amounts of payments due to and from a Fund. If a swap agreement calls for payments by a Fund, the Fund must be prepared to make such payments when due. In addition, if the counterparty’s creditworthiness declined, the value of a swap agreement would be likely to decline, potentially resulting in losses.
Generally, swap agreements have a fixed maturity date that will be agreed upon by the parties. The agreement can be terminated before the maturity date, in whole or part, under certain circumstances, such as default by one of the parties or insolvency, among others, and can be transferred by a party only with the prior written consent of the other party. A Fund may be able to eliminate its exposure under a swap agreement either by assignment or by other disposition, or by entering into an offsetting swap agreement with the same party or a similarly creditworthy party. If the counterparty is unable to meet its obligations under the contract, declares bankruptcy, defaults or becomes insolvent, a Fund may not be able to recover the money it expected to receive under the swap agreement. A Fund will not enter into any swap agreement unless the Adviser believes that the counterparty to the transaction is creditworthy.
A swap agreement can be a form of leverage, which can magnify a Fund’s gains or losses. In order to reduce the risk associated with leveraging, a Fund may cover its current obligations under swap agreements according to guidelines established by the SEC. If a Fund enters into a swap agreement on a net basis, it will segregate assets with a daily value at least equal to the excess, if any, of a Fund’s accrued obligations under the swap agreement over the accrued amount a Fund is entitled to receive under the agreement. If a Fund enters into a swap agreement on other than a net basis, it will segregate assets with a value equal to the full amount of a Fund’s accrued obligations under the swap agreement.
Total Return Swaps: Total return swaps are contracts in which both parties agree to make payments of the total return from a reference instrument during a specified period. The total return includes appreciation or depreciation on the underlying asset, plus any interest or dividend accruals or payments. The unrealized appreciation or depreciation also includes interest charges and credits (“financing fees”) related to the notional values of the long and short positions and cash balances within the swap. These interest charges and credits are based on a specified benchmark rate, such as the U.S. effective federal funds rate (“EFFR”). Payments under the swap are based upon an agreed upon principal amount but, since the principal amount is not exchanged, it represents neither an asset nor a liability to either counterparty, and is referred to as notional. Total return swaps are marked to market daily using different sources, including quotations from counterparties, pricing services, brokers or market makers. The unrealized appreciation or depreciation related to the change in the valuation of the notional amount of the swap is combined with the amount due to or from the Fund at termination or settlement. The primary risks associated with total return swaps are credit risks (if the counterparty fails to meet its obligations) and market risk (if there is no liquid market for the swap or unfavorable changes occur to the underlying reference instrument). As of and for the year ended September 30, 2023, only Absolute Return, Enhanced Return, Neutral, Index Plus, Defensive Long 500 and Short Strategies held total return swaps.
For the year ended September 30, 2023, the quarterly average notional value of the total return swaps for each Fund was as follows:
  Notional Amount
Absolute Return $(275,564,801)
Enhanced Return (31,763,327)
Neutral (58,313,949)
Index Plus (72,152,691)
Defensive Long 500 (3,740,063)
Short Strategies (27,899,037)
Counterparty Risk — During the year ended September 30, 2023, Absolute Return, Enhanced Return, Neutral, Index Plus, Defensive Long 500 and Short Strategies were subject to counterparty risk. Certain of the derivatives entered into by the Funds may not be traded on an exchange but instead will be privately negotiated in the over-the-counter market. This means that these instruments are traded between counterparties based on contractual relationships. Relying on a counterparty exposes the Funds to the risk that a counterparty will not settle a transaction in accordance with its terms and conditions because of a dispute over the terms of the contract (whether or not bona fide) or because of a credit or liquidity problem, thus causing the Funds to suffer a loss. If a counterparty defaults on its payment obligations to the Funds, this default will cause the value of an investment in the Funds to decrease. In addition, to the extent the Funds deal with a limited number of counterparties, it will be more susceptible to the credit risks

associated with those counterparties. The Funds are neither restricted from dealing with any particular counterparty nor from concentrating any or all of its transactions with one counterparty. The ability of the Funds to transact business with any one or number of counterparties and the absence of a regulated market to facilitate settlement may increase the potential for losses by the Funds.
The Funds are subject to the risk that issuers of the instruments in which it invests and trades may default on their obligations, and that certain events may occur that have an immediate and significant adverse effect on the value of those instruments. There can be no assurance that an issuer will not default, or that an event that has an immediate and significant adverse effect on the value of an instrument will not occur, and that the Funds will not sustain a loss on a transaction as a result.
For both Hedged Core and Enhanced 500 Plus, the Funds may use prime brokers with respect to its shorting strategy, which involves counterparty risk, including the risk that a prime broker may default on its obligation or become insolvent and that the Funds may lose its collateral deposit or short sale proceeds.
Liquidity Risk — During the year ended September 30, 2023, Absolute Return, Enhanced Return, Neutral, Index Plus, Defensive Long 500 and Short Strategies were subject to liquidity risk. The Funds may be subject to liquidity risk primarily due to investments in derivatives. The Funds may invest up to 15% of its net assets in illiquid securities or instruments. Certain derivatives, such as swaps, forward contracts and options may not be readily marketable and, therefore, may be deemed to be illiquid. An asset is not readily marketable if it cannot be sold within seven business days in the ordinary course of business for approximately the amount at which it is valued. Investments in illiquid assets involve the risk that the Funds may be unable to sell the asset or sell it at a reasonable price. In addition, the Funds may be required to liquidate positions or close out derivatives on unfavorable terms at a time contrary to the interests of the Funds in order to raise cash to pay redemptions.
An investment in derivatives is also subject to the risk that the Funds may not be able to terminate the derivatives effective on whatever date it chooses, or that the settlement of any early termination may depend on subsequent market movements. As a result, the Funds may be exposed to the risk of additional losses due to such delays.
Master Netting Agreement — During the year ended September 30, 2023, Absolute Return, Enhanced Return, Neutral, Index Plus, Defensive Long 500 and Short Strategies were subject to a Master Netting agreement. In order to define their contractual rights and to secure rights that will help mitigate their counterparty risk, the Funds have entered into an International Swaps and Derivatives Association, Inc. Master Agreement (“ISDA Master Agreement”). An ISDA Master Agreement is a bilateral agreement between the Funds and the counterparty that governs certain OTC derivatives and typically contains, among other things, collateral posting terms and netting provisions in the event of a default and/or termination event. Under an ISDA Master Agreement, the Funds may, under certain circumstances, offset with the counterparty certain derivative financial instruments’ payables and/or receivables with collateral held and/or posted and create one single net payment. The provisions of the ISDA Master Agreement typically permit a single net payment in the event of default including the bankruptcy or insolvency of the counterparty. Bankruptcy or insolvency laws of a particular jurisdiction may restrict or prohibit the right of offset in bankruptcy, insolvency or other events. In addition, certain ISDA Master Agreements allow counterparties to terminate derivative contracts prior to maturity in the event the Funds' net assets decline by a stated percentage or the Funds fails to meet the terms of its ISDA Master Agreements. The result would cause the Funds to accelerate payment of any net liability owed to the counterparty.
Collateral Requirements — During the year ended September 30, 2023, Absolute Return, Enhanced Return, Neutral, Index Plus, Defensive Long 500 and Short Strategies were subject to collateral requirements. For derivatives traded under an ISDA Master Agreement, the collateral requirements are typically calculated by netting the mark-to-market amount for each transaction under such agreement and comparing that amount to the value of any collateral currently pledged by the Funds and the counterparty. Cash collateral that has been pledged to cover obligations of the Funds and cash collateral received from the counterparty, if any, is reported separately on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities as cash pledged as collateral and cash received as collateral, respectively. Non-cash collateral pledged by the Funds, if any, is noted in the Portfolio of Investments. Generally, the amount of collateral due from or to a counterparty is subject to a certain minimum transfer amount threshold before a transfer is required, which is determined at the close of business of the Funds. Any additional required collateral is delivered to/pledged by the Funds on the next business day. Typically, the counterparty is not permitted to sell, re-pledge or use cash and non-cash collateral it receives. The Funds generally agree not to use non-cash collateral that they receive but may, absent default or certain other circumstances defined in the underlying ISDA Master Agreement, be permitted to use cash collateral received. In such cases, interest may be paid pursuant to the collateral

arrangement with the counterparty. To the extent amounts due to the Funds from their counterparties are not fully collateralized, they bear the risk of loss from counterparty non-performance. Likewise, to the extent the Funds have delivered collateral to a counterparty and stands ready to perform under the terms of its agreement with such counterparty, they bear the risk of loss from a counterparty in the amount of the value of the collateral in the event the counterparty fails to return such collateral. Based on the terms of agreements, collateral may not be required for all derivative contracts. For financial reporting purposes, the Funds do not offset derivative assets and derivative liabilities that are subject to netting arrangements, if any, in the Statements of Assets and Liabilities.

Gotham Asset Management, LLC (“Gotham” or the “Adviser”) serves as investment adviser to the Funds pursuant to an investment advisory agreement with the Trust (the “Advisory Agreement”). For its services as the investment adviser, each Fund pays the Adviser a fee, which is computed and accrued daily and paid monthly, at an annual rate based on average daily net assets of each Fund as shown in the table below:
Absolute Return(1) 1.50%
Enhanced Return(1) 1.50%
Neutral 1.50%
Index Plus(1) 1.00%
Large Value 0.75%
Enhanced S&P 500 Index(2) 0.50%
Hedged Core(2) 0.70%
Defensive Long 500 1.35%
Total Return(3)
Enhanced 500 Plus 1.00%
Short Strategies 1.35%

(1) Gotham has contractually agreed to reduce the Fund's annual investment advisory fee by the dollar amount of "total annual fund operating expenses after fee waivers" attributable to any Fund assets invested in other investment companies advised or sub-advised by Gotham (each an "underlying fund" and collectively, the "underlying funds"), and the amount of such reduction is calculated based on the Fund's average daily assets invested in an underlying fund and the "total annual fund operating expenses after fee waivers" disclosed in such underlying fund's "Annual Fund Operating Expenses" table in the summary section of an underlying fund's currently effective prospectus. The effect of the reduction is intended to provide that Gotham's aggregate direct and indirect compensation from the Fund and any underlying fund, respectively, does not exceed the annual investment advisory fee paid by the Fund, as shown in the table.

(2) Enhanced S&P 500 Index and Hedged Core, respectively, entered into a Support, Service and Fee Assumption Agreement (“Agreement”) with Gotham, whereby Gotham will assume and undertake to pay substantially all Fund expenses, except investment advisory fees. Under the Agreement, Gotham is entitled to a fee, computed daily and payable monthly, equal to the lesser of (i) the annualized rate of 0.15% of the Fund’s average daily net assets, or (ii) the actual amount of Gotham’s payment obligation under the Agreement.
(3) For Total Return (the “Fund”), Gotham is not entitled to receive an investment advisory fee on assets invested in investment companies advised or sub-advised by Gotham (each an “underlying fund” and collectively, the “underlying funds”), but is entitled to receive an investment advisory fee of 1.00% of the Fund’s average net assets invested in investments other than an underlying fund. Gotham does not receive an investment advisory fee from the Fund on assets invested in an underlying fund, but does receive an investment advisory fee from each underlying fund as investment adviser to such funds. The Fund does not currently expect to invest in assets other than underlying funds; however, to the extent it does, the Fund will pay an investment advisory fee on such assets.
For all Funds, except for Absolute Return, Enhanced Return, Index Plus and Enhanced S&P 500 Index, the Adviser contractually agreed to reduce its investment advisory fee and/or reimburse certain expenses of each Fund to the extent necessary to ensure that the Fund’s total operating expenses (exclusive of taxes, “Acquired Fund Fees and Expenses,” dividend and interest expense on securities sold short, interest, extraordinary items, and brokerage commissions) do not exceed the percentages set forth in the table below (on an annual basis) of each Fund’s average daily net assets (the “Expense Limitation”). For Absolute Return, Enhanced Return, Index Plus and Enhanced S&P 500 Index, the Adviser contractually agreed to reduce its investment advisory fee and/or reimburse certain expenses of each Fund to the extent necessary to ensure that the Fund’s “Other Expenses” (exclusive of taxes, dividend and interest expense on securities sold short, interest, extraordinary items, and brokerage commissions) do not exceed the percentages set forth in the table below (on an annual basis) of each Fund’s average daily net assets (the “Other Expense Limitation”). Both the Expense Limitation and the Other Expense Limitation will remain in place until the termination date set forth below, unless the Board approves its earlier termination. The table below reflects the Expense Limitation and Other Expense Limitation amounts, respectively, as a percentage of average daily net assets, in effect during the year ended September 30, 2023.

5. Federal Tax Information
The Funds have followed the authoritative guidance on accounting for and disclosure of uncertainty in tax positions, which requires the Funds to determine whether a tax position is more likely than not to be sustained upon examination, including resolution of any related appeals or litigation processes, based on the technical merits of the position. Tax positions not deemed to meet the more-likely-than-not threshold would be recorded as tax benefit or expense in the current year. Each Fund has determined that there was no effect on the financial statements from following this authoritative guidance. In the normal course of business, the Funds are subject to examination by federal, state and local jurisdictions, where applicable, for tax years for which applicable statutes of limitations have not expired.
Distributions are determined in accordance with federal income tax regulations, which may differ in amount or character from net investment income and realized gains for financial reporting purposes. Accordingly, the character of distributions and composition of net assets for tax purposes may differ from those reflected in the accompanying financial statements. To the extent these differences are permanent, such amounts are reclassified within the components of net assets based on the tax treatment; temporary differences do not require reclassifications. Net assets were not affected by these adjustments. Permanent differences as of September 30, 2023, were primarily attributed to capitalized dividends on short sales, net operating loss write-off, non-deductible excise taxes paid, PFICs sold, redesignation of dividends paid and equalization utilized which were reclassified among the following accounts:
  Total

The differences between the book and tax basis components of distributable earnings relate primarily to the timing and recognition of income and gains for federal income tax purposes. The temporary differences as of September 30, 2023, were primarily attributed to wash sales, capital loss carryforward not yet utilized, deferral of loss on unsettled short sale transactions, straddle losses outstanding and amortization of organizational costs. Foreign currency and short-term capital gains are reported as ordinary income for federal income tax purposes.

Foreign shareholders will generally be subject to U.S. withholding tax on the amount of their ordinary income dividends. They will generally not be entitled to a foreign tax credit or deduction for the withholding taxes paid by a Fund, if any.
In general, dividends received by tax-exempt recipients (e.g., IRAs and Keoghs) need not be reported as taxable income for U.S. federal income tax purposes. However, some retirement trusts (e.g., corporate, Keogh and 403(b)(7) plans) may need this information for their annual information reporting.
Shareholders are advised to consult their own tax advisers with respect to the tax consequences of their investment in a Fund.

Board Considerations with Respect to the Approval of the Continuation of the Investment Advisory Agreement with Gotham
At an in-person meeting held on June 20-21, 2023 (the “Meeting”), the Board of Trustees (the “Board” or “Trustees”) of FundVantage Trust (the “Trust”), including a majority of the Trustees who are not “interested persons” within the meaning of Section 2(a)(19) of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”) (the “Independent Trustees”), unanimously approved the continuation of the Investment Advisory Agreement between the Gotham Asset Management, LLC (“Gotham” or the “Adviser”) and the Trust (the “Gotham Agreement”) on behalf of the Gotham Absolute Return Fund, Gotham Enhanced Return Fund, Gotham Neutral Fund, Gotham Total Return Fund, Gotham Index Plus Fund, Gotham Large Value Fund, Gotham Enhanced 500 Plus Fund, Gotham Hedged Core Fund, Gotham Defensive Long 500 Fund, Gotham Enhanced S&P 500 Index Fund and Gotham Short Strategies Fund (together the “Gotham Funds”).

In determining whether to approve the Agreement, the Trustees, including the Independent Trustees, considered information provided by Gotham in response to a request for information in accordance with Section 15(c) of the 1940 Act (the “Gotham 15(c) Response”) regarding (i) the services performed and to be performed by Gotham for the Gotham Funds, (ii) the composition and qualifications of Gotham’s portfolio management staff, (iii) any potential or actual material conflicts of interest which may arise in connection with the management of the Gotham Funds, (iv) investment performance, (v) the financial condition of Gotham, (vi) brokerage selection procedures (including soft dollar arrangements, if any), (vii) the procedures for allocating investment opportunities between the Gotham Funds and other clients, (viii) results of any independent audit or regulatory examination, including any recommendations or deficiencies noted, (ix) any litigation, investigation or administrative proceeding which may have a material effect on Gotham’s ability to service the Gotham Funds, and (x) compliance with the Gotham Funds’ investment objectives, policies

and practices (including codes of ethics and proxy voting policies), federal securities laws and other regulatory requirements. In addition to the information in the Gotham 15(c) Response, the Trustees received additional information at Board meetings throughout the year covering matters such as the performance of each Gotham Fund compared against its Lipper Index and its benchmark; compliance with the Gotham Funds’ investment objectives, policies, strategy and limitations; the compliance of portfolio management personnel with applicable codes of ethics; and the adherence to pricing procedures as established by the Board.
The Board considered additional information provided by representatives from Gotham invited to participate in the Meeting regarding Gotham’s history, performance, investment strategy, and compliance program. Representatives of Gotham responded to questions from the Board. In addition to the foregoing information, the Trustees also considered other factors they believed to be relevant to considering the approval of the Agreement, including the specific matters discussed below. In their deliberations, the Trustees did not identify any particular information as controlling, and different Trustees may have attributed different weights to various factors. After deliberating, the Trustees determined that the overall arrangement between the Gotham Funds and Gotham, as provided by the terms of the Gotham Agreement, including the advisory fees under the Gotham Agreement, were fair and reasonable in light of the services provided, expenses incurred and such other matters as the Trustees considered relevant.
Based on the Gotham 15(c) Response, the Trustees concluded that (i) the nature, extent and quality of the services provided (or to be provided) by Gotham are appropriate and consistent with the terms of the Agreement, (ii) that the quality of those services has been, and continues to be, consistent with industry norms, (iii) the Gotham Funds are likely to benefit from the provision of those services, (iv) Gotham has sufficient personnel, with the appropriate skills and experience, to serve the Gotham Funds effectively and has demonstrated its continuing ability to attract and retain qualified personnel, and (v) the satisfactory nature, extent, and quality of services currently provided to the Gotham Funds is likely to continue under the Agreement.
The Trustees considered the investment performance for the Gotham Funds (as applicable) and Gotham.

period ended March 31, 2023 and underperformed the Lipper Alternative Long/Short Equity Funds Classification for the year-to-date, one year, three year and five year periods ended March 31, 2023.
The Trustees concluded that the performance of each of the Gotham Funds was within an acceptable range of performance relative to other mutual funds with similar investment objectives, strategies and policies based on the information provided at the Meeting.
The Trustees also reviewed information regarding the fees Gotham charges to certain other clients and evaluated explanations provided by Gotham as to differences in fees charged to the Funds and other similarly managed accounts, where applicable.
The Trustees also reviewed a peer comparison of advisory fees and total expenses for each Gotham Fund versus those funds in the Fund’s applicable Lipper category (the “Peer Group”). The Trustees concluded that the advisory fees and services provided by Gotham are consistent with those of other advisers that manage mutual funds with investment objectives, strategies and policies similar to those of the Funds as measured by the information provided by Gotham. The Board considered, among other data, the specific factors and related conclusions set forth below with respect to each Fund:
Gotham Absolute Return Fund. The contractual advisory fee and net total expense ratio for the Gotham Absolute Return Fund’s Institutional Class shares were higher than the median contractual advisory fee and net total expense ratio for those funds in the Gotham Absolute Return Fund’s Peer Group.
Gotham Defensive Long 500 Fund. The contractual advisory fee and net total expense ratio for the Gotham Defensive Long 500 Fund’s Institutional Class shares were higher and lower than, respectively, the median contractual advisory fee and net total expense ratio for those funds in the Gotham Defensive Long 500 Fund’s Peer Group.
Gotham Enhanced 500 Plus Fund. The contractual advisory fee and net total expense ratio for the Gotham Enhanced 500 Plus Fund’s Institutional Class shares were lower than the median contractual advisory fee and net total expense ratio for those funds in the Gotham Enhanced 500 Plus Fund’s Peer Group.
Gotham Enhanced Return Fund. The contractual advisory fee and net total expense ratio for the Gotham Enhanced Return Fund’s Institutional Class shares were higher than the median contractual advisory fee and net total expense ratio for those funds in the Gotham Enhanced Return Fund’s Peer Group.
Gotham Enhanced S&P 500 Index Fund. The contractual advisory fee and net total expense ratio for the Gotham Enhanced S&P 500 Index Fund’s Institutional Class shares were equal to and lower than, respectively, the median contractual advisory fee and net total expense ratio for those funds in the Gotham Enhanced S&P 500 Index Fund’s Peer Group.
Gotham Hedged Core Fund. The contractual advisory fee and net total expense ratio for the Gotham Hedged Core Fund’s Institutional Class shares were lower than the median contractual advisory fee and net total expense ratio for those funds in the Gotham Hedged Core Fund’s Peer Group.
Gotham Index Plus Fund. The contractual advisory fee and net total expense ratio for the Gotham Index Plus Fund’s Institutional Class shares were higher than the median contractual advisory fee and net total expense ratio for those funds in the Gotham Index Plus Fund’s Peer Group.
Gotham Large Value Fund. The contractual advisory fee and net total expense ratio for the Gotham Large Value Fund’s Institutional Class shares were higher and lower than, respectively, the median contractual advisory fee and net total expense ratio for those funds in the Gotham Large Value Fund’s Peer Group.

Gotham Short Strategies Fund. The contractual advisory fee and net total expense ratio for the Gotham Short Strategies Fund’s Institutional Class shares were higher and lower than, respectively, the median contractual advisory fee and net total expense ratio for those funds in the Gotham Short Strategies Fund’s Peer Group.
Gotham Total Return Fund. The Trustees noted that the Gotham Total Return Fund is a “fund of funds,” and that there is no advisory fee in respect of assets invested in other funds advised by Gotham. The Trustees noted that the Gotham Total Return Fund does not collect an advisory fee because it invests only in other series of the Trust advised by Gotham.
The Trustees also discussed the limitations of the comparative expense information provided with respect to each Gotham Fund’s Peer Group, given the potential varying nature, extent and quality of the services provided by the advisors of other portfolios included in each of the Peer Groups. Based upon their review, the Trustees concluded that the respective advisory fees for the Gotham Funds were reasonable in light of the high quality of services received by the Funds from Gotham.
The Trustees considered the services provided by or to be provided by Gotham to the Gotham Funds. The Trustees considered Gotham’s personnel and the depth of Gotham’s personnel who provide investment management services to the Gotham Funds and their experience. The Trustees considered the costs of the services provided by Gotham, the compensation and benefits received by Gotham in providing services to the Gotham Funds, its profitability and certain additional information related to Gotham’s financial condition. In addition, the Trustees considered any direct or indirect revenues received by affiliates of Gotham.
The Trustees considered the extent to which economies of scale may be realized relative to the fee levels as the Funds grow, and whether the advisory fee levels reflect those economies of scale for the benefit of shareholders. The Trustees considered and determined that economies of scale for the benefit of shareholders should be achieved if assets of the Funds increase because fixed expenses will be spread across a larger asset base. The Trustees also noted that the Funds' advisory fees do not include "breakpoint" reductions in the advisory fee rates at specific asset levels but that Gotham has contractually agreed to waive fees and/or reimburse certain expenses of the Funds for the benefit of shareholders.
After consideration of all the factors, taking into consideration the information presented at the Board Meeting, the entire Board, including the Independent Trustees, unanimously approved the continuation of the Gotham Agreement for an additional one-year period. In arriving at their decision, the Trustees did not identify any single matter as controlling, but made their determination in light of all the circumstances.

POLEN OPPORTUNISTIC HIGH YIELD FUND
(formerly, Polen DDJ Opportunistic High Yield Fund)
Annual Investment Adviser's Report
September 30, 2023
(Unaudited)
Letter to Shareholders – Message from Portfolio Managers David Breazzano, John Sherman, and Ben Santonelli: Covering – October 1, 2022, through September 30, 2023.
Entering the fourth quarter of 2022, many investors believed that tighter monetary policy would lead to a recession in the U.S. in 2023. However, expectations shifted as the economy remained resilient, with an economic soft landing now viewed as likely by many market participants. During the period, the U.S Federal Reserve (the "Fed") continued to increase short term interest rates to combat inflation, which remains elevated though it has declined over the past year. Further, the relatively strong economy and stubborn inflation have caused longer-term interest rates to rise as investors factored in the likelihood of a ‘higher for longer’ interest rate environment.
The improving outlook for the economy helped drive strong performance in the high yield bond and bank loan markets over the twelve-month period ending September 30, 2023. In addition, relatively healthy issuer fundamentals and a favorable maturity profile helped to keep defaults below historical averages, further contributing to the rally in both asset classes. Within the high yield market, rising interest rates were a headwind that disproportionately impacted higher-rated credits, which tend to be more sensitive to interest rate moves. As a result, higher-rated bonds underperformed their lower-rated peers during the period. Not surprisingly, bank loans, which are less exposed to rising rates given the floating rate nature of their coupons, outperformed high yield bonds during the period.
For the fiscal year ended September 30, 2023, the Polen Opportunistic High Yield Fund’s (the “Fund”) institutional share class returned 9.97% net of fees versus the ICE BofA U.S. High Yield Index, which returned 10.19%. Since inception on July 16, 2015 to September 30, 2023, the Fund’s institutional share class returned 3.84% net of fees versus 3.98% for the ICE BofA U.S. High Yield Index. Turning our attention to the Fund's performance, during the twelve months ending September 30, 2023, the Fund slightly underperformed its benchmark, the ICE BofA U.S. High Yield Index. Given the increase in U.S. Treasury yields during the period, the Fund’s structurally shorter duration relative to the benchmark contributed to relative performance, as the price of higher duration instruments is negatively impacted by rising interest rates to a greater extent than shorter duration instruments, all else being equal. The Fund’s duration positioning is due in large part to the Fund’s strategic allocation to bank loans, which are generally floating rate in nature and thus have a lower duration than fixed rate high yield bonds. Furthermore, the Fund’s income advantage relative to the benchmark, a characteristic that the Fund will typically exhibit as a result of its higher-than-average coupon, also contributed to relative returns during the period.
The Fund’s allocation effect by credit quality detracted from returns relative to the benchmark. Specifically, the Fund’s underweight to B+ rated credits and overweight to CCC+ rated credits were the primary drivers of the negative quality allocation effect. The Fund’s security selection effect by credit quality was also negative as the Fund’s holdings across the CCC-rated spectrum underperformed those of the benchmark. These negative effects were partially offset by the positive security selection effect produced by the Fund’s B-rated holdings, which outperformed those of the benchmark.
From a sector perspective, the Fund’s underweight to the Telecommunications sector and overweight to the Capital Goods and Basic Industry sectors contributed to relative returns. Conversely, sector security selection detracted from relative returns, driven primarily by negative security selection in the Healthcare and Leisure sectors. Such negative effects were partially offset by positive security selection in the Capital Goods and Services sectors.
The lack of significant maturities facing the leveraged credit market has been a positive factor supporting the strong performance over the past year. Primary market activity in 2023 has increased relative to last year. As a result, since the start of the year, the percentage of high yield bonds and leveraged loans maturing through the end of 2025 has been halved due to refinancing activity. That said, much of the new issue refinancing activity to date has been among higher-rated credits, leaving lower-rated credits with a disproportionate percentage of debt maturing over the next two years.
Nonetheless, the relatively strong fundamental health of the high yield bond market has aided issuers seeking to refinance their debt, albeit at much higher rates. Many of these issuers locked in fixed rate coupons on their existing bonds before the Fed’s rate hiking cycle began. However, the higher coupon payments on newly-issued high yield bonds could pressure the cash flow profile of certain companies. Issuers of floating rate leveraged loans are already grappling with higher interest costs. With inflation above that of the Fed’s preferred 2% target, we believe that it is likely that rates and floating coupons will remain higher for longer. Therefore, issuers would be well advised to de-lever their balance sheets, an action which we have started to observe.
While default rates rose during the period, high yield bond and bank loan default rates remain below long-term averages. Although we expect defaults to continue to increase, most estimates predict average conditions in the coming quarters. At Polen

Annual Investment Adviser’s Report (Concluded)
September 30, 2023
(Unaudited)
Capital, we are cautiously optimistic that default rates, particularly for high yield bonds, will not rise to levels experienced during past downturns should the economy fall into a recession. In the aggregate, we believe that the fundamental health of the high yield bond market is better than has typically been the case in instances where the economy has begun to slow. In addition, the maturity profile of the market is still favorable, although certain issuers will have to continue to address their upcoming maturities.
Although each credit cycle is different, it is often the case that an exogenous factor spurs the end of the cycle. We continue to see the risk of an exogenous factor influencing this credit cycle. Renewed angst about the banking sector or an increase in default activity among Commercial Real Estate borrowers could be the exogenous factor that causes spillover effects into corporate debt markets. Further, growing domestic and geopolitical angst could also weigh on investor sentiment.
Despite the uncertain environment, we still maintain a constructive view of the market. Although we anticipate defaults to increase as the maturity schedule shifts, we believe that current yield levels are very attractive and more than compensate investors for the increased risk. In addition, aggregate leveraged credit market fundamentals remain healthy. However, careful credit selection remains paramount. We continue to identify attractive opportunities amongst issuers across each segment of the leveraged credit market. Accordingly, we view the current environment as favorable for an active manager like Polen Capital to potentially generate significant alpha for the Fund.

The Fund’s “Total Annual Fund Operating Expenses” and “Total Annual Fund Operating Expenses After Fee Waiver and/or Expense Reimbursement”, as stated in the current prospectus dated July 24, 2023, as revised on November 22, 2023, are 0.91% and 0.89%, respectively, for the Institutional Class shares, 1.16% and 1.14%, respectively, for the Investor Class shares and 0.81% and 0.79%, respectively, for the Class Y shares of the Fund’s average daily net assets, which may differ from the actual expenses incurred by the Fund for the period covered by this report. Polen Capital Credit, LLC (“Polen Credit” or the “Adviser”) has contractually agreed to reduce its investment advisory fee and/or reimburse certain expenses of the Fund to the extent necessary to ensure that the Fund’s total operating expenses (excluding taxes, fees and expenses attributable to a distribution or service plan adopted by FundVantage Trust (the "Trust"), interest, extraordinary items, “Acquired Fund Fees and Expenses” and brokerage commissions) do not exceed 0.89% (on an annual basis) with respect to Institutional Class shares and Investor Class shares and 0.79% with respect to Class Y shares' average daily net assets (the “Expense Limitation”). The Expense Limitation will remain in place until August 31, 2024 unless the Board of Trustees ("Board of Trustees") of the Trust approves its earlier termination. The Adviser is entitled to recover, subject to approval by the Board of Trustees, such amounts reduced or reimbursed for a period of up to three (3) years from the date on which the Adviser reduced its compensation and/or assumed expenses for the Fund. The Adviser is permitted to seek reimbursement from the Fund, for fees it waived and Fund expenses it paid to the extent the total annual fund operating expenses do not exceed the limits

described above or any lesser limits in effect at the time of the reimbursement. No reimbursement will occur unless the Fund’s expenses are below the Expense Limitation amount. Total returns would be lower had such fees and expenses not been waived and/or reimbursed.
The Fund evaluates its performance as compared to that of the ICE BofA U.S. High Yield Index, maintained by ICE BofA and comprised of U.S. dollar denominated below investment grade corporate debt publicly issued in the U.S. domestic market. Indexes are unmanaged and it is not possible to invest directly in an index.
The Fund intends to invest its assets primarily in credit instruments that are rated below investment grade by some or all relevant independent rating agencies, including Moody’s Investors Service, Standard and Poor’s Rating Services and Fitch Ratings (including a significant portion of such assets in credit instruments in the lower tier of the high yield market that are rated B and below). Additionally, certain other high yield securities may be unrated by rating agencies, but determined by the Adviser to be of similar quality as other below investment grade bonds and credit instruments and accordingly purchased for investment by the Fund. The Fund does not have a percentage limitation on investing in securities that are rated below investment grade.
Credit ratings are measured on a scale that generally ranges from AAA (highest) to D (lowest). All Fund securities except for those labeled “Not Rated” and “Other” have been rated by Moody’s, S&P or Fitch, which are each a Nationally Recognized Statistical Rating Organization (“NRSRO”). All Index securities except for those labeled “Not Rated” have been rated by Moody’s or S&P. Credit ratings are subject to change.
Mutual fund investing involves risk, including possible loss of principal. It is possible to lose money on an investment in the Fund. Fixed-income investments are subject to interest rate risk; as interest rates rise, their value will decline. Lower-rated securities are subject to additional credit and default risks. Investments in bank loans, which are made by banks or other financial intermediaries to borrowers, will depend primarily upon the creditworthiness of the borrower for payment of principal and interest. Trading in Rule 144A securities may be less active than trading in publicly traded securities. Investments with low trading volumes may be difficult to sell at quoted market prices.

As a shareholder of the Fund, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including applicable redemption fees; and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees, distribution and/or service (Rule 12b-1) fees (if any) and other Fund expenses. These examples are intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds.
These examples are based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the six-month period from April 1, 2023 through September 30, 2023 and held for the entire period.
Actual Expenses
The first line of each accompanying table provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this line, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the first line under the heading entitled "Expenses Paid During Period" to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.
Hypothetical Examples for Comparison Purposes
The second line of each accompanying table provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Fund's actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not your Fund's actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Fund and other funds. To do so, compare these 5% hypothetical examples with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of other funds.
Please note that the expenses shown in the accompanying table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transactional costs, such as sales charges (loads) on purchase payments (if any) or redemption fees. Therefore, the second line of each accompanying table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transactional costs were included, your costs would have been higher.

The Fund's ending account values on the first line of each table are based on the actual six-month total returns for the Fund of 4.86%, 4.70% and 4.90% for Institutional Class, Investor Class and Class Y, respectively.

1. Organization and Significant Accounting Policies
The Polen Opportunistic High Yield Fund (formerly, Polen DDJ Opportunistic High Yield Fund) (the "Fund") is a diversified, open-end management investment company registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, (the “1940 Act”), which commenced investment operations on July 16, 2015. The Fund is a separate series of FundVantage Trust (the “Trust”) which was organized as a Delaware statutory trust on August 28, 2006. The Trust is a “series trust” authorized to issue an unlimited number of separate series or classes of shares of beneficial interest. Each series is treated as a separate entity for certain matters under the 1940 Act, and for other purposes, and a shareholder of one series is not deemed to be a shareholder of any other series. The Fund offers three separate classes of shares, Institutional Class, Investor Class and Class Y shares. Polen Capital Credit, LLC ("Polen Credit" or the "Adviser") serves as investment adviser to the Polen Opportunistic High Yield Fund pursuant to an investment advisory agreement with the Trust.
The Fund commenced investment operations on July 24, 2023. Prior to that date, the Fund acquired the assets and assumed the liabilities of the Polen DDJ Opportunistic High Yield Fund (the "Predecessor Fund"), a series of ALPS Series Trust ("ALPS"), in a tax-free reorganization as set out in an Agreement and Plan of Reorganization, dated as of April 17, 2023 (the "Plan"). The Plan was approved by the Trust's Board of Trustees on February 27, 2023, by the Board of Trustees of ALPS on February 16, 2023, and by the beneficial owners of the Predecessor Fund on July 5, 2023. The tax-free reorganization was accomplished on July 24, 2023. Financial information included for the dates prior to the reorganization is that of the Predecessor Fund. As a result of the reorganization, the Fund assumed the performance and accounting history of the Predecessor Fund listed in the table below:

The Fund is an investment company and follows accounting and reporting guidance in the Financial Accounting Standards Board Accounting Standards Codification Topic 946.
Portfolio Valuation – The Fund's net asset value (“NAV”) is calculated once daily at the close of regular trading hours on the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) (typically 4:00 p.m. Eastern time) on each day the NYSE is open. Securities held by the Fund are valued using the closing price or the last sale price on a national securities exchange or the National Association of Securities Dealers Automatic Quotation System (“NASDAQ”) market system where they are primarily traded. Equity securities traded in the over-the-counter (“OTC”) market are valued at their closing prices. If there were no transactions on that day, securities traded principally on an exchange or on NASDAQ will be valued at the mean of the last bid and ask prices prior to the market close. Fixed income securities having a remaining maturity of greater than 60 days are valued using an independent pricing service. Fixed income securities having a remaining maturity of 60 days or less are generally valued at amortized cost, provided such amount approximates fair value. Fixed income securities are valued on the basis of broker quotations or valuations provided by a pricing service, which utilizes information with respect to recent sales, market transactions in comparable securities, quotations from dealers, and various relationships between securities in determining value. Valuations developed through pricing techniques may materially vary from the actual amounts realized upon sale of the securities. Investments in other open-end investment companies are valued based on the NAV of the investment companies (which may use fair value pricing as discussed in their prospectuses). Securities that do not have a readily available current market value are valued in good faith by the Adviser as "valuation designee" under the oversight of the Trust’s Board of Trustees. Relying on prices supplied by pricing services or dealers or using fair valuation may result in values that are higher or lower than the values used by other investment companies and investors to price the same investments. The Adviser has adopted written policies and procedures for valuing securities and other assets in circumstances where market quotes are not readily available. In the event that market quotes are not readily available, and the security or asset cannot be valued pursuant to one of the valuation methods, the value of the security or asset will be determined in good faith by the Adviser pursuant to its policies and procedures. On a quarterly basis, the Adviser’s fair valuation determinations will be reviewed by the Trust’s Board of Trustees.
The Fund has a fundamental policy with respect to industry concentration that it will not invest 25% or more of the value of the Fund's assets in securities of issuers in any one industry. Since inception the Fund has utilized BICS at the sub-industry level for defining industries for purposes of monitoring compliance with its industry concentration policy. However, at times, the Fund may utilize

Notes to Financial Statements (Continued)
September 30, 2023
other industry classification systems such as Morningstar Global Equity Classification Structure ("MGECS") or Global Industry Classification Standard ("GICS"), as applicable, for purposes other than compliance monitoring.
Fair Value Measurements The inputs and valuation techniques used to measure fair value of the Fund’s investments are summarized into three levels as described in the hierarchy below:
•  Level 1 — quoted prices in active markets for identical securities;
•  Level 2 — other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.); and
•  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. Transfers in and out are recognized at the value at the end of the period.
The valuations for fixed income securities are typically the prices supplied by independent third party pricing services, which may use market prices or broker/dealer quotations or a variety of valuation techniques and methodologies. The independent third party pricing services use inputs that are observable such as issuer details, interest rates, yield curves, prepayment speeds, credit risks/spreads, default rates and quoted prices for similar securities. To the extent that these inputs are observable, the fair value of fixed income securities would be categorized as Level 2; otherwise the fair values would be categorized as Level 3.
Floating rate senior loan notes (“Senior Loans”) are fair valued based on a quoted price received from a single broker-dealer or an average of quoted prices received from multiple broker-dealers or valued relative to other benchmark securities when broker-dealer quotes are unavailable. To the extent that these inputs are observable, the fair values of Senior Loans would be categorized as Level 2; otherwise the fair values would be categorized as Level 3.

At the end of each quarter, management evaluates the classification of Levels 1, 2 and 3 assets and liabilities. Various factors are considered, such as changes in liquidity from the prior reporting period; whether or not a broker is willing to execute at the quoted

Notes to Financial Statements (Continued)

price; the depth and consistency of prices from third-party pricing services; and the existence of contemporaneous, observable trades in the market. Additionally, management evaluates the classification of Level 1 and Level 2 assets and liabilities on a quarterly basis for changes in listings or delistings on national exchanges, where applicable.
Due to the inherent uncertainty of determining the fair value of investments that do not have a readily available market value, the fair value of the Fund’s investments may fluctuate from period to period. Additionally, the fair value of investments may differ significantly from the values that would have been used had a ready market existed for such investments and may differ materially from the values the Fund may ultimately realize. Further, such investments may be subject to legal and other restrictions on resale or otherwise less liquid than publicly traded securities.
Use of EstimatesThe preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the period. Actual results could differ from those estimates and those differences could be material.
Investment Transactions, Investment Income and ExpensesInvestment transactions are recorded on trade date for financial statement preparation purposes. Realized gains and losses on investments sold are recorded on the identified cost basis. Interest income, which includes accretion of discounts and amortization of premiums, is recorded on the accrual basis, using the effective yield method. Dividends are recorded on the ex-dividend date. The Fund may be subject to foreign taxes on income, a portion of which may be recoverable. The Fund applies for refunds where available. Distribution (12b-1) fees relating to a specific class are charged directly to that class. Fund level expenses common to all classes, investment income and realized and unrealized gains and losses on investments are generally allocated to each class based upon the relative daily net assets of each class. The Fund may also enter into unfunded loan commitments, which are contractual obligations for future funding. Unfunded loan commitments may include revolving credit facilities, which may obligate the Fund to supply additional cash to the borrower on demand. Unfunded loan commitments represent a future obligation in full. A Fund may receive a commitment fee based on the undrawn portion of the underlying line of credit portion of a senior floating rate interest. In certain circumstances, a Fund may receive various fees upon the restructure of a senior floating rate interest by a borrower. Fees earned/paid may be recorded as a component of income or realized gain/loss in the Statement of Operations. General expenses of the Trust are generally allocated to the Fund under methodologies approved by the Board of Trustees. Expenses directly attributable to a particular fund in the Trust are charged directly to that fund. The Fund's investment income, expenses (other than class-specific expenses) and unrealized and realized gains and losses are allocated daily to each class of shares based upon the relative proportion of net assets of each class at the beginning of the day.
Cash and Cash Equivalents — Cash and cash equivalents include cash and overnight investments in interest-bearing demand deposits with a financial institution with original maturities of three months or less. The Fund maintains deposits with a high quality financial institution in an amount that is in excess of federally insured limits.
Dividends and Distributions to Shareholders — Dividends from net investment income and distributions from net realized capital gains, if any, are declared and paid to shareholders and are recorded on ex-date. Income dividends and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance with U.S. federal income tax regulations, which may differ from U.S. GAAP.
U.S. Tax Status — No provision is made for U.S. income taxes as it is the Fund’s intention to continue to qualify for and elect the tax treatment applicable to regulated investment companies under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (“Internal Revenue Code”), and make the requisite distributions to its shareholders which will be sufficient to relieve it from U.S. income and excise taxes.
Other In the normal course of business, the Fund may enter into contracts that provide general indemnifications. The Fund’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is dependent on claims that may be made against the Fund in the future, and therefore, cannot be estimated; however, based on experience, the risk of material loss for such claims is considered remote.
Debt Investment Risk Debt investments are affected primarily by the financial condition of the companies or other entities that have issued them and by changes in interest rates. There is a risk that an issuer of a Fund's debt investments may not be able to meet its financial obligations (e. g., may not be able to make principal and/or interest payments when they are due or otherwise default

on other financial terms) and/or seek bankruptcy protection. Securities such as high-yield bonds, e.g., bonds with low credit ratings by Moody's (Ba or lower) or Standard & Poor's (BB and lower) or if unrated are of comparable quality as determined by the Adviser, are especially subject to credit risk during periods of economic uncertainty or during economic downturns and are more likely to default on their interest and/or principal payments than higher rated securities. Debt investments may be affected by changes in interest rates. Debt investments with longer durations tend to be more sensitive to changes in interest rates, making them more volatile than debt investments with shorter durations or floating or adjustable interest rates. The value of debt investments may fall when interest rates rise.
Senior Loans The Fund invests primarily in senior loans and other floating rate investments. Senior loans typically are rated below investment grade. Below investment grade securities, including senior loans, involve greater risk of loss, are subject to greater price volatility, and may be less liquid and more difficult to value, especially during periods of economic uncertainty or change, than higher rated debt securities. Market quotations for these securities may be volatile and/or subject to large spreads between bid and ask prices. These securities once sold, may not settle for an extended period (for example, several weeks or even longer). A Fund will not receive its sale proceeds until that time, which may constrain a Fund’s ability to meet its obligations. A Fund may invest in securities of issuers that are in default or that are in bankruptcy. The value of collateral, if any, securing a senior loan can decline or may be insufficient to meet the issuer’s obligations or may be difficult to liquidate. No active trading market may exist for many senior loans, and many loans are subject to restrictions on resale. Any secondary market may be subject to irregular trading activity and extended settlement periods. There is less readily available, reliable information about most senior loans than is the case for many other types of securities. Loans may not be considered “securities,” and purchasers, such as a Fund, therefore may not be entitled to rely on the anti-fraud protections afforded by federal securities laws.
LIBOR Phase-out Risk The FCA and ICE Benchmark Administrator have since announced that most LIBOR settings will no longer be published after December 31, 2021 and a majority of U.S. dollar LIBOR settings have ceased publication as of June 30, 2023. It is possible that a subset of LIBOR settings will be published after these dates on a “synthetic” basis, but any such publications would be considered non-representative of the underlying market.
In December 2022, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued ASU 2022-06, Deferral of the Sunset Date of Topic 848. ASU 2022-06 is an update of 2022-04, Reference Rate Reform, providing additional financial reporting relief. This is effective for certain reference rate-related contract modifications that occur during the extended period of March 12, 2020 through December 31, 2024. Management does not expect this update to have a material impact on these financial statements.
Equity Securities Risk Stock markets are volatile. The price of equity securities fluctuates based on changes in a company's financial condition, historical and prospective earnings of the company, interest rates, investor perceptions and overall market and economic conditions. The prices of securities change in response to many factors including the value of its assets.
Unfunded Loan CommitmentsThe Fund may enter into unfunded loan commitments. Unfunded loan commitments may be partially or wholly unfunded. During the contractual period, the Fund is obliged to provide funding to the borrower upon demand. A fee is earned by a Fund on the unfunded loan commitment and is recorded as interest income on the Statement of Operations. Unfunded loan commitments on senior loan participations and assignments, if any, are marked to market daily and valued according to the Trust’s valuation policies and procedures. Any applicable net unrealized appreciation or depreciation at the end of the reporting period is recorded as an asset and any change in net unrealized appreciation or depreciation for the reporting period is recorded within the change in net unrealized appreciation or depreciation on investments. A corresponding payable for investments purchased has also been recorded, which represents the actual unfunded amount on the balance sheet date. Unfunded loan commitments are included in the Portfolio of Investments. At September 30, 2023, there were no unfunded loan commitments.
Restricted Securities — Restricted securities are securities that may only be resold upon registration under federal securities laws or in transactions exempt from such registration. In some cases, the issuer of restricted securities has agreed to register such securities for resale, at the issuer's expense, either upon demand by a fund or in connection with another registered offering of the securities. Many restricted securities may be resold in the secondary market in transactions exempt from registration. Such restricted securities may be determined to be liquid. The Fund will not incur any registration costs upon such resale. The Fund's restricted securities are valued at the price provided by pricing services or dealers in the secondary market or, if no market prices are available, at the fair value price as determined by the Fund's adviser or pursuant to the Fund's fair value policy, subject to oversight by the Board.

For its services, the Adviser is paid a monthly fee at the annual rate of 0.70% of the Fund's average daily net assets. The Adviser served as the investment adviser to the Predecessor Fund. For its services, the Predecessor Fund paid the Advisor the same fee aforementioned.

The Expense Limitation will remain in place until August 31, 2024, unless the Board of Trustees of the Trust approves its earlier termination. The Adviser had contractually agreed to limit the amount of the Predecessor Fund's total operating expenses (excluding Distribution and Service (12b-1) Fees, Shareholder Servicing fees, "acquired fund fees and expenses", brokerage expenses, interest expenses, taxes and extraordinary expenses) to an annual rate of 0.79% of the Fund's average daily net assets of each of the Institutional Class, Class I and Class II shares. The Adviser is entitled to recover, subject to approval by the Board of Trustees, such amounts reduced or reimbursed for a period of up to three (3) years from the date on which each Adviser reduced its compensation and/or assumed expenses for the Fund and the Predecessor Fund. The Adviser is permitted to seek reimbursement from the Fund, subject to certain limitations, for fees it waived and Fund expenses it paid to the extent the total annual fund operating expenses do not exceed the limits described above or any lesser limits in effect at the time of reimbursement. No recoupment will occur unless the Fund’s expenses are below the Expense Limitation amount.
As of September 30, 2023, the amount of potential recovery was as follows:

Notes to Financial Statements (Concluded)
September 30, 2023
Distributions are determined in accordance with federal income tax regulations, which may differ in amount or character from net investment income and realized gains for financial reporting purposes. Accordingly, the character of distributions and composition of net assets for tax purposes may differ from those reflected in the accompanying financial statements. To the extent these differences are permanent, such amounts are reclassified within the components of net assets based on the tax treatment; temporary differences do not require reclassifications. For the year ended September 30, 2023, there were reclassifications between components of total distributable earnings. These permanent differences are primarily attributable to reclassification of capital gains to ordinary income, premium sold adjustment and defaulted bonds. Net assets were not affected by these adjustments.
For the year ended September 30, 2023, the tax character of distributions paid by the Fund was $24,598,505 of ordinary income dividends. For the year ended September 30, 2022, the tax character of distributions paid by the Fund was $17,058,464 of ordinary income dividends. Distributions from net investment income and short-term gains are treated as ordinary income for federal income tax purposes.
As of September 30, 2023, the components of distributable earnings on a tax basis were as follows:
  Capital Loss
Carryforward
  Undistributed
Ordinary
Income
  Unrealized
Appreciation/
(Depreciation)
  $(26,383,120)   $132,674   $(19,955,661)
           
The differences between the book and tax basis components of distributable earnings relate primarily to the timing and recognition of income and gains for federal income tax purposes.
As of September 30, 2023, the federal tax cost, aggregate gross unrealized appreciation and depreciation of securities held by the Fund were as follows:
    Federal
Tax Cost
  Unrealized
Appreciation
  Unrealized
(Depreciation)
  Net Unrealized
(Depreciation)
    $303,294,718   $2,614,375   $(22,570,036)   $(19,955,661)
Pursuant to federal income tax rules applicable to regulated investment companies, the Fund may elect to treat certain capital losses between November 1 and September 30 and late year ordinary losses ((i) ordinary losses between January 1 and September 30, and (ii) specified ordinary and currency losses between November 1 and September 30) as occurring on the first day of the following tax year. For the year ended September 30, 2023, any amount of losses elected within the tax return will not be recognized for federal income tax purposes until November 1, 2023. For the year ended September 30, 2023, the Fund had no post October capital loss deferrals or late year ordinary loss deferrals.
Accumulated capital losses represent net capital loss carryforwards as of September 30, 2023 that may be available to offset future realized capital gains and thereby reduce future capital gains distributions. As of September 30, 2023, the Fund had capital loss carryforward of $26,383,120, of which $7,513,427 are short-term losses and $18,869,693 are long-term losses and have an unlimited period of capital loss carryforward.
6. Subsequent Events
Management has evaluated the impact of all subsequent events on the Fund through the date the financial statements were issued, and has determined that there are no subsequent events requiring recognition or disclosure in the financial statements.

Basis for Opinion
These financial statements are the responsibility of the Fund’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Fund’s financial statements based on our audit. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB) and are required to be independent with respect to the Fund in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our audit of these financial statements in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud.

Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audit also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of September 30, 2023 by correspondence with the custodian, transfer agents, agent banks and brokers; when replies were not received from agent banks or brokers, we performed other auditing procedures. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

Shareholder Tax Information
(Unaudited)
The Fund is required by Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, to advise their shareholders of the U.S. federal tax status of distributions received by the Fund's shareholders in respect of such fiscal year. During the year ended September 30, 2023, the Polen Opportunistic High Yield Fund paid $24,598,505 of ordinary income dividends to its shareholders.
All designations are based on financial information available as of the date of this annual report and, accordingly, are subject to change. For each item, it is the intention of the Fund to designate the maximum amount permitted under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and the regulations thereunder.
Because the Fund’s fiscal year is not the calendar year, another notification will be sent with respect to calendar year 2023. The second notification, which will reflect the amount, if any, to be used by calendar year taxpayers on their U.S. federal income tax returns, will be made in conjunction with Form 1099-DIV and will be mailed in January 2024.
Foreign shareholders will generally be subject to U.S. withholding tax on the amount of their ordinary income dividends. They will generally not be entitled to a foreign tax credit or deduction for the withholding taxes paid by the Fund, if any.
In general, dividends received by tax-exempt recipients (e.g., IRAs and Keoghs) need not be reported as taxable income for U.S. federal income tax purposes. However, some retirement trusts (e.g., corporate, Keogh and 403(b)(7) plans) may need this information for their annual information reporting.
Shareholders are advised to consult their own tax advisers with respect to the tax consequences of their investment in the Fund.

Change in Independent Public Accountant
On March 13, 2023, the Audit Committee of the Board of Trustees of FundVantage Trust (the “Trust”) appointed PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP (“PwC”) as the Polen Opportunistic High Yield Fund’s independent registered public accounting firm upon the reorganization of the Predecessor Fund for the fiscal period ended September 30, 2023. Previously, Cohen & Company, Ltd. (“Cohen”) served as the independent registered public accounting firm to the Predecessor Fund.
Cohen’s reports on the Predecessor Fund’s financial statements for the fiscal years ended September 30, 2022 and September 30, 2021 did not contain an adverse opinion or a disclaimer of opinion, nor were such reports qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope or accounting principles. During such fiscal years and the interim period of October 1, 2022 through March 13, 2023 (the “Interim Period”) there were no (i) disagreements with Cohen on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedure, which disagreements, if not resolved to the satisfaction of Cohen, would have caused it to make reference to the subject matter of the disagreements in connection with its reports on the Predecessor Fund’s financial statements for such years, nor (ii) “reportable events” of the kinds described in Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.
During the fiscal years ended September 30, 2022 and September 30, 2021 and the Interim Period, neither the Predecessor Fund nor anyone on its behalf has consulted with PwC regarding; (i) the application of accounting principles to a specified transaction, either completed or proposed; or the type of audit opinion that might be rendered on the Predecessor Fund’s financial statements, and neither a written report was provided to the Predecessor Fund nor oral advice was provided that PwC concluded was an important factor considered by the Predecessor Fund in reaching a decision as to any accounting, auditing or financial reporting issue; or (ii) any matter that was the subject of a disagreement (as that term is defined in Item 304 (a)(1)(iv) of Regulation S-K and the related instructions to Item 304 of Regulation S-K) or a reportable event (as that term is defined in Item 304 (a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K).
Board Consideration of Investment Advisory Agreement
At an in-person meeting held on June 20-21, 2023 (the “Meeting”), the Board of Trustees (the “Board” or the “Trustees”) of FundVantage Trust (the “Trust”), including a majority of the Trustees who are not “interested persons” within the meaning of Section 2(a)(19) of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”) (the “Independent Trustees”), unanimously approved a new Investment Advisory Agreement between Polen Capital Credit, LLC (“Polen Credit” or the “Adviser”) and the Trust (the “Polen Credit Agreement”) on behalf of the Polen Opportunistic High Yield Fund (the "Fund”) for an initial two year period.
In determining whether to approve the Polen Credit Agreement, the Trustees, including the Independent Trustees, considered information provided by Polen Credit in response to a request for information in accordance with Section 15(c) of the 1940 Act (the “Polen Credit 15(c) Response”) regarding (i) the services to be performed by Polen Credit for the Fund, (ii) the composition and qualifications of Polen Credit’s portfolio management staff, (iii) any potential or actual material conflicts of interest which may arise in connection with the management of the Fund, (iv) investment performance of the Fund’s respective strategies, as applicable, (v) the financial condition of Polen Credit, (vi) brokerage selection procedures (including soft dollar arrangements, if any), (vii) the procedures for allocating investment opportunities between the Fund and other clients, (viii) results of any independent audit or regulatory examination, including any recommendations or deficiencies noted, and (ix) any litigation, investigation or administrative proceeding which may have a material impact on Polen Credit’s ability to service the Fund.

Other Information (Concluded)
(Unaudited)
The Board considered additional information provided by representatives from Polen Credit invited to participate in the Meeting regarding Polen Credit’s history, performance, investment strategy, and compliance program. Representatives of Polen Credit responded to questions from the Board. In addition to the foregoing information, the Trustees also considered other factors they believed to be relevant to considering the approval of the Polen Credit Agreement, including the specific matters discussed below. In their deliberations, the Trustees did not identify any particular information that was controlling, and different Trustees may have attributed different weights to the various factors. After deliberating, the Trustees determined that the overall arrangement between the Fund and Polen Credit, as provided by the terms of the Polen Credit Agreement, including the advisory fees under the Polen Credit Agreement, were fair and reasonable in light of the services provided, expenses incurred and such other matters as the Trustees considered relevant.
Based on the Polen Credit 15(c) Response, the Trustees concluded that (i) the nature, extent and quality of the services provided (or to be provided) by Polen Credit are appropriate and consistent with the terms of the Polen Credit Agreement, (ii) that the quality of those services has been, and continues to be, consistent with industry norms, (iii) the Fund is likely to benefit from the provision of those services, (iv) Polen Credit has sufficient personnel, with the appropriate skills and experience, to serve the Fund effectively and has demonstrated its continuing ability to attract and retain qualified personnel, and (v) the satisfactory nature, extent, and quality of services currently provided to the other series of the Trust currently advised by Polen Credit and expected to be provided to the Fund is likely to continue under the Polen Credit Agreement.
The Trustees considered the investment performance for the Fund. The Trustees noted that the Fund (by virtue of its predecessor fund) returned -5.47% net of fees versus the ICE BofA U.S. High Yield Index, which returned -3.56% for the twelve-month period ended March 31, 2023. The Trustees considered the short-term and long-term performance of the Fund.
The Trustees also considered information regarding Polen Credit’s proposed advisory fees and an analysis of the fees in relation to the delivery of services to the Fund and any other ancillary benefit resulting from Polen Credit’s relationship with the Fund. The Trustees considered the fees that Polen Credit charges to its separately managed accounts, as applicable, and evaluated the explanations provided by Polen Credit as to differences in fees charged to the Fund and separately managed accounts. The Trustees considered the fees that Polen Credit charges to the other series of the Trust advised by Polen Credit, and evaluated the explanations provided by Polen Credit as to differences in the fees charged to the Fund and the other series of the Trust advised by Polen Credit. The Trustees evaluated information provided by Polen Credit indicating the proposed advisory fee for the Fund is within the normal range of fees and expenses for a fund of similar size, composition and type of investment product. The Trustees concluded that the advisory fee and services to be provided by Polen Credit are consistent with those of other advisers which manage mutual funds with investment objectives, strategies and policies similar to those of the Fund based on the information provided at the Meeting.
The Trustees considered the costs of the services provided by Polen Credit, the compensation and benefits to be received by Polen Credit in providing services to the Fund, Polen Credit’s projected profitability in the first year of operation of the Fund and certain additional information related to the financial condition of Polen Credit. In addition, the Trustees considered any direct or indirect revenues anticipated to be received by affiliates of Polen Credit.
The Trustees considered the extent to which economies of scale would be realized relative to the fee level as the Fund is expected to grow, and whether the advisory fee level reflects those economies of scale for the benefit of shareholders. The Trustees considered and determined that economies of scale for the benefit of shareholders should be achieved if assets of the Fund increase because fixed expenses will be spread across a larger asset base. Because the Fund had not yet commenced operations, and the Fund had a fee cap in place, the Board concluded that economies of scale were not a necessary consideration at the present time.
At the Meeting, after consideration of all the factors and taking into consideration the information presented, the Board, including the Independent Trustees, unanimously approved of the Polen Credit Agreement for an initial two-year period. In arriving at their decision, the Trustees did not identify any single matter as controlling, but made their determination in light of all the circumstances.

SIRIOS LONG/SHORT FUND
Annual Investment Adviser's Report
September 30, 2023
(Unaudited)
Dear Fellow Shareholder:
Sirios Long/Short Fund Class I shares (SLHIX) returned +12.26% net of expenses for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2023, while the HFRX Equity Hedge Index returned +4.93%.
The Sirios Long/Short Fund (the "Fund") is a liquid, long/short strategy that seeks to deliver long-term capital appreciation. The Fund’s long exposure is comprised of companies exhibiting earnings growth potential and attractive valuation. Meanwhile, short exposure includes sector and index hedges, as well as mega-capitalization, single-stock positions. Single-stock and index put options may also be utilized.
Portfolio Review
For the fiscal year, long common equity positions contributed 19.43% to gross performance, while short common equity positions detracted 6.34%. Other income, expenses, and currency hedges detracted 0.83%. Geographically, North America and Europe contributed 7.71% and 5.38%, respectively, to gross performance. The most significant individual positive long contributors (+7.38%) were Adobe, Alcon (Switzerland), Roper Technologies, London Stock Exchange (U.K.), and Airbus (France). The most significant long detractors (-1.70%) were Nabors Industries, PacWest Bancorp, Portillo’s, Keysight Technologies, and Ericsson (Sweden).
Exposure Analysis
Total net exposure as of fiscal year-end was 55%, as compared to 48% the prior fiscal year-end, as gross long exposure increased by 2% and gross short exposure decreased by 5%. Net exposure is balanced across the Health Care (+14%), Energy/Industrials (+13%), Technology/Communications (+13%), Financials/RE (+12%), and Consumer (+6%) sectors. During the fiscal year, net exposure increased in the Technology/Communications (+8%), Consumer (+3%), and Health Care (+3%) sectors, while net exposure decreased in the Financials/RE (-4%) and Energy/Industrials (-3%) sectors.
Net exposure remains primarily focused on North America (+36%), with positive net exposure to Europe (+19%) and no direct exposure to Asia as of fiscal year-end. During the fiscal year, net exposure to North America increased by 6%, driven by modestly higher gross long exposure and lower gross short exposure. Net exposure to Europe increased by 1%, driven by higher gross long exposure.
Market Overview
The U.S. economy experienced slowing growth over the last year due to the aggressive rate tightening policy of global central banks, geopolitical tensions, and continued fiscal policy stalemate. Equity markets rebounded throughout the first half of the year as investors anticipated an end to the tightening cycle of the Federal Reserve, peaking in July and consolidating as the lagged effects of the incredible move higher in interest rates took hold. U.S. GDP decreased from 2.6% in 4Q22 to 2.0% in 1Q23 followed by 2.1% in 2Q23, with forecasts expecting growth to stabilize at current levels through the balance of 2023. The housing market remained challenged as existing home sales, housing starts, and building permits were subdued with mortgage rates surging to levels not seen since 2007. Manufacturing continued to be weak with the Institute for Supply Management ("ISM") manufacturing remaining in contractionary territory as new orders faltered while demand for services persisted. The labor market decelerated throughout the year with an average of 270,000 jobs added monthly. In addition, the unemployment rate increased to 3.8% in September from 3.5% a year ago, with average hourly earnings elevated but pulling back to 4.2% from 5.0% on a year over year basis. Inflation moderated as the economy slowed and higher interest rates became established, which was reflected by core Consumer Price Index ("CPI") sliding to 4.3% from 6.6% last year. S&P 500 companies 2Q23 results yielded a -5.7% blended earnings growth rate with 79% of companies exceeding earnings estimates and 65% of companies exceeding topline estimates with sales in aggregate that were 1.6% above expectations.
The Federal Reserve raised the benchmark fed funds target rate to 5.25%-5.50% and continued asset sales to reduce the scope of the balance sheet, indicating that rates are at or near a sufficiently restrictive level which will likely be maintained until inflation

returns to their 2% long term objective. Fiscal policy continued to be hampered by the possibility of a government shutdown as disagreement on the spending outlook divided Congress and the Presidential election started to come into focus.
Outlook
The economy continues to defy recession expectations, although sustained tight Fed monetary policy increase the likelihood of a dip in 2024. Progress on inflation continued during the third quarter with the rate of wage growth decelerating closer to 4%, down from the peak of 6%. Surprisingly, this has occurred despite sustained record-low unemployment rates (under 4%).
While it will be difficult in the near-term for the Fed to achieve its 2% inflation target, several unique factors could help constrain inflation over the long-term: Aging demographics; China’s decline in growth; Resolution to the invasion of Ukraine; Artificial Intelligence; and Obesity drugs. As the baby boomer generation continues to retire from the workforce, their consumption expenditures, excluding healthcare, decline significantly on a per-capita basis. Given the disproportionate representation of the baby boomer cohort, this reduction in per-capita consumption should help to dampen demand-driven price pressure. China should have less marginal demand for raw material inputs and excess productive capacity as reshoring continues. Peace in Ukraine should bring about more productive uses of capital than the horrifying destruction witnessed over the past 18 months. AI should have a broad, global impact on labor. Early adopters have cited initial projects with 40-50% gains in productivity. Obesity drugs show dramatic reduction in weight (over 25 lbs. in many cases) and reduce food (and alcohol) cravings dramatically. Walmart has noted they have already seen an impact on food demand for those on obesity medication, with snack and soda categories down 15% or more. There could also be a reduction in surgical procedures, given the high comorbidity obesity has with many life-threatening diseases (e.g. cardiovascular disease, sleep apnea, kidney disease, and diabetes).
We are likely entering a period of more difficult economic conditions as the Fed will need to remain restrictive for an extended period to meet their 2% inflation target. Given the recent move in ten-year Treasury yields, valuation has become more challenging, with the bond market offering a more attractive alternative to stocks than we have seen in years. The concentration of market performance in a handful of stocks is also a concern and masks the weakness many stocks have seen over the past year. The combination of a weaker fundamental backdrop and less attractive valuations indicate a cautious approach remains warranted.
Thank you for your continued confidence in Sirios Capital Management.
Sincerely,
John F. Brennan, Jr.

(the “Adviser”) has contractually agreed to reduce its compensation and/or reimburse certain expenses of the Fund to the extent necessary to ensure that the Fund’s total operating expenses, excluding taxes, interest, extraordinary items, brokerage commissions, fees and expenses attributable to a distribution or service plan adopted by FundVantage Trust (the "Trust"), dividend and interest expense on short sales of securities, and “Acquired Fund Fees and Expenses,” as defined in Form N-1A, do not exceed 1.60% (on an annual basis) of the Fund’s average daily net assets (the “Expense Limitation”). The Expense Limitation will remain in place until April 30, 2024, unless the Board of Trustees of the Trust approves its earlier termination. This agreement may be terminated only by the Fund’s Board of Trustees. The Adviser is entitled to recover, subject to approval by the Board of Trustees, such amounts waived, reduced or reimbursed for a period of up to three (3) years from the date on which the Adviser reduced its compensation and/or assumed expenses for the Fund. The Adviser is permitted to seek recoupment from the Fund, for fees it waived and Fund expenses it paid to the extent the total annual fund operating expenses do not exceed the limits described above or any lesser limits in effect at the time of the reimbursement. No reimbursement will occur unless the Fund’s expenses are below the Expense Limitation.
The Fund evaluates its performance as compared to that of the HFRX Equity Hedge Index (“HFRX Index”). Hedge Fund Research, Inc. constructs the HFRX Index methodology. The HFRX Index is comprised of long/short equity hedge funds. The HFRX Index is unmanaged and its returns (i) do not include sales charges or fees, which would lower performance; and (ii) are subject to a variety of material distortions, as investments in hedge funds typically involve substantial risks, including the “risk of ruin.” It is impossible to invest directly in an index.

SIRIOS LONG/SHORT FUND
Annual Report
Performance Data (Concluded)
September 30, 2023
(Unaudited)
The Fund is non-diversified and invests in a limited number of securities. As a result, the Fund’s investment performance may be more volatile, as it may be more susceptible to risks associated with a single economic, political, or regulatory event than a fund that invests in a greater number of issuers.
Short sales theoretically involve unlimited loss potential since the market price of securities sold short may continuously increase. Mutual Fund investing involves risk, including loss of principal.

Fund Expense Disclosure
September 30, 2023
(Unaudited)
As a shareholder of the Fund, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including redemption fees (if any); and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees, distribution and/or service (Rule 12b-1) fees (if any) and other Fund expenses. This example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Fund(s) and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds.
This example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the six-month period from April 1, 2023 through September 30, 2023 and held for the entire period.
Actual Expenses
The first line of each Fund in the accompanying table provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this line, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the first line under the heading entitled "Expenses Paid During Period" to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.
Hypothetical Examples for Comparison Purposes
The second line of each Fund in the accompanying table provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Fund's actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not your Fund's actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Fund(s) and other funds. To do so, compare these 5% hypothetical examples with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of other funds.
Please note that the expenses shown in the accompanying table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transactional costs, such as redemption fees. Therefore, the second line of the accompanying table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transactional costs were included, your costs would have been higher.

* Expenses are equal to the annualized expense ratio for the six-month period ended September 30, 2023 of 1.62% for Institutional Class shares, multiplied by the average account value over the period, multiplied by the number of days in the most recent period (183), then divided by 365 to reflect the period. The Institutional Class shares ending account values on the first line of the table is based on the actual six-month total return of 4.01%.
** These amounts include dividends paid on securities which the Fund has sold short (“Short-sale dividends”). The amount of short-sale dividend expense was 0.02% of average net assets for the Institutional Class shares of the Fund.
*** Expenses are equal to the annualized expense ratio for the six-month period ended September 30, 2023of 1.60% for Institutional Class shares, multiplied by the average account value over the period, multiplied by the number of days in the most recent period (183), then divided by 365 to reflect the period. The Institutional Class shares ending account values on the first line of the table is based on the actual six-month total return of 4.60%.

SIRIOS FUNDS
Notes to Financial Statements
September 30, 2023
1. Organization and Significant Accounting Policies
The Sirios Long/Short Fund and the Sirios Focus Fund are non-diversified, open-end management investment companies registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”) (the Sirios Long/Short Fund and the Sirios Focus Fund are each a “Fund”, and together, the “Funds”). The Sirios Long/Short Fund commenced investment operations on May 3, 2018 and the Sirios Focus Fund commenced investment operations on December 16, 2020. The Funds are each a separate series of FundVantage Trust (the “Trust”) which was organized as a Delaware statutory trust on August 28, 2006. The Trust is a “series trust” authorized to issue an unlimited number of separate series or classes of shares of beneficial interest. Each series is treated as a separate entity for certain matters under the 1940 Act, and for other purposes, and a shareholder of one series is not deemed to be a shareholder of any other series. Each Fund offers Class A, Advisor Class, Institutional Class and Retail Class shares. As of September 30, 2023, Class A, Advisor Class and Retail Class shares have not been issued.
Each Fund is an investment company and follows accounting and reporting guidance in the Financial Accounting Standards Board Accounting Standards Codification Topic 946.
Portfolio Valuation — Each Fund’s net asset value (“NAV”) is calculated once daily at the close of regular trading hours on the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) (typically 4:00 p.m. Eastern time) on each day the NYSE is open. Securities held by each Fund are valued using the closing price or the last sale price on a national securities exchange or the National Association of Securities Dealers Automatic Quotation System (“NASDAQ”) market system where they are primarily traded. Each Fund’s equity securities listed on any national exchange market system will be valued at the last sale price. Equity securities traded in the over-the-counter (“OTC”) market are valued at their closing price. If there were no transactions on that day, securities traded principally on an exchange will be valued at the mean of the last bid and ask prices prior to the market close. Prices for equity securities normally are supplied by an independent pricing service approved by the Trust’s Board of Trustees (“Board of Trustees”). Fixed income securities are valued based on market quotations, which are furnished by an independent pricing service. Fixed income securities having remaining maturities of 60 days or less are generally valued at amortized cost, provided such amount approximates market value. Any assets held by the Funds that are denominated in foreign currencies are valued daily in U.S. dollars at the foreign currency exchange rates that are prevailing at the time that the Fund determines the daily NAV per share. Foreign securities may trade on weekends or other days when the Funds do not calculate NAV. As a result, the market value of these investments may change on days when you cannot buy or sell shares of the Funds. Foreign securities are valued based on prices from the primary market in which they are traded and are translated from the local currency into U.S. dollars using current exchange rates. Forward foreign currency contracts are valued at the forward rate. Investments in any mutual fund are valued at their respective NAVs as determined by those mutual funds each business day (which may use fair value pricing as disclosed in their prospectuses). OTC investments (including swap contracts) are generally valued by approved pricing services that use evaluated prices from various observable market factors. Securities that do not have a readily available current market value are valued in good faith by the Adviser as "valuation designee" under the oversight of the Trust’s Board of Trustees. Relying on prices supplied by pricing services or dealers or using fair valuation may result in values that are higher or lower than the values used by other investment companies and investors to price the same investments. The Adviser has adopted written policies and procedures for valuing securities and other assets in circumstances where market quotes are not readily available. In the event that market quotes are not readily available, and the security or asset cannot be valued pursuant to one of the valuation methods, the value of the security or asset will be determined in good faith by the Adviser pursuant to its policies and procedures. On a quarterly basis, the Adviser's fair valuation determinations will be reviewed by the Trust's Board of Trustees.

Fair Value Measurements The inputs and valuation techniques used to measure fair value of the Funds’ investments are summarized into three levels as described in the hierarchy below:
•  Level 1 — quoted prices in active markets for identical securities;
•  Level 2 — other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.); and
•  Level 3 — significant unobservable inputs (including the Funds’ 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. Transfers in and out are recognized at the value at the end of the period.
Securities listed on a non-U.S. exchange are generally fair valued daily by an independent fair value pricing service approved by the Board of Trustees and categorized as Level 2 investments within the hierarchy. The fair valuations for these securities may not be the same as quoted or published prices of the securities on their primary markets. Securities for which daily fair value prices from the independent fair value pricing service are not available are generally valued at the last quoted sale price at the close of an exchange on which the security is traded and categorized as Level 1 investments within the hierarchy. Values of foreign securities, currencies, and other assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollars at the exchange rate of said currencies against the U.S. dollar, as of valuation time, as provided by an independent pricing service approved by the Board of Trustees.
The following is a summary of the inputs used, as of September 30, 2023, in valuing each Fund's investments carried at fair value:

At the end of each quarter, management evaluates the classification of Levels 1, 2 and 3 assets and liabilities. Various factors are considered, such as changes in liquidity from the prior reporting period; whether or not a broker is willing to execute at the quoted price; the depth and consistency of prices from third-party pricing services; and the existence of contemporaneous, observable trades in the market. Additionally, management evaluates the classification of Level 1 and Level 2 assets and liabilities on a quarterly basis for changes in listings or delistings on national exchanges.
Due to the inherent uncertainty of determining the fair value of investments that do not have a readily available market value, the fair value of the Funds’ investments may fluctuate from period to period. Additionally, the fair value of investments may differ significantly from the values that would have been used had a ready market existed for such investments and may differ materially from the values the Funds may ultimately realize. Further, such investments may be subject to legal and other restrictions on resale or otherwise less liquid than publicly traded securities.
For fair valuations using significant unobservable inputs, U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”) require the Funds to present a reconciliation of the beginning to ending balances for reported market values that present changes attributable to total realized and unrealized gains or losses, purchase and sales, and transfers in and out of Level 3 during the period. A reconciliation of Level 3 investments is presented only when the Funds have an amount of Level 3 investments at the end of the reporting period that was meaningful in relation to net assets. The amounts and reasons for all transfers in and out of Level 3 are disclosed when the Funds had an amount of transfers during the reporting period that was meaningful in relation to net assets as of the end of the reporting period.
For the year ended September 30, 2023, there were no transfers in or out of Level 3.
Use of EstimatesThe preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the period. Actual results could differ from those estimates and those differences could be material.
Investment Transactions, Investment Income and Expenses — Investment transactions are recorded on trade date for financial statement preparation purposes. Realized gains and losses on investments sold are recorded on the identified cost basis.

Interest income is recorded on the accrual basis. Accretion of discounts and amortization of premiums are recorded on a daily basis using the effective yield method except for short-term securities, which records discounts and premiums on a straight-line basis. Dividends are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Estimated components of distributions received from real estate investment trusts may be considered income, return of capital distributions or capital gain distributions. Return of capital distributions are recorded as a reduction of cost of the related investments. The Funds may be subject to taxes imposed by countries in which it invests. Such taxes are generally based on income and/or capital gains earned or repatriated. Taxes are accrued and applied to net investment income, net realized gains and net unrealized appreciation/depreciation as such income and/or gains are earned. General expenses of the Trust are generally allocated to each fund under methodologies approved by the Board of Trustees. Expenses directly attributable to a particular fund in the Trust are charged directly to that fund.
Foreign Currency Translation — Assets and liabilities initially expressed in non-U.S. currencies are translated into U.S. dollars based on the applicable exchange rates at the date of the last business day of the financial statement period. Purchases and sales of securities, interest income, dividends, variation margin received and expenses denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollars at the exchange rates in effect on the transaction date. The Funds do not separately report the effect of changes in foreign exchange rates from changes in market prices of securities held. Such changes are included with the net realized gain or loss and change in unrealized appreciation or depreciation on investments in the Statements of Operations. Other foreign currency transactions resulting in realized and unrealized gain or loss are reported separately as net realized gain or loss and change in unrealized appreciation or depreciation on foreign currency transactions in the Statements of Operations.
Cash and Cash Equivalents — Cash and cash equivalents include cash and overnight investments in interest-bearing demand deposits with a financial institution with original maturities of three months or less. Each Fund maintains deposits with a high quality financial institution in an amount that is in excess of federally insured limits.
Dividends and Distributions to Shareholders — Dividends from net investment income and distributions from net realized capital gains, if any, are declared, recorded on ex-date and paid at least annually to shareholders. Income dividends and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance with U.S. federal income tax regulations, which may differ from U.S. GAAP.
U.S. Tax Status — No provision is made for U.S. income taxes as it is each Fund's intention to continue to qualify for and elect the tax treatment applicable to regulated investment companies under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (“Internal Revenue Code”), and make the requisite distributions to its shareholders which will be sufficient to relieve it from U.S. income and excise taxes.
Other In the normal course of business, each Fund may enter into contracts that provide general indemnifications. Each Fund's maximum exposure under these arrangements is dependent on claims that may be made against the Funds in the future, and therefore, cannot be estimated; however, based on experience, the risk of material loss for such claims is considered remote.
The SEC adopted Rule 18f-4 (the “Derivatives Rule”) under the 1940 Act. The Derivatives Rule generally requires a fund to adopt a written derivatives risk management program with risk guidelines that must cover certain elements, but that will otherwise be tailored based on how a fund’s use of derivatives may affect its investment portfolio and overall risk profile. A fund’s derivatives risk management program must also include provisions for stress testing, backtesting, internal reporting and escalation, and program review elements.
The Derivatives Rule requires funds engaging in derivatives transactions to comply with an outer limit on fund leverage risk based on a fund’s value at risk (“VaR”). This outer limit is based on a relative VaR test that compares the fund’s VaR to the VaR of a designated reference portfolio for that fund, or, in the absence of an appropriate reference portfolio, to 20% of the value of the fund’s net assets.

The Derivatives Rule requires that a Fund’s Board of Directors approve the appointment of a person or persons to oversee the administration of a Fund’s derivatives risk management program (“Derivatives Risk Manager” or “DRM”). The Board has appointed a person or persons from the Fund’s investment adviser to serve as the DRM for the Program pursuant to Rule 18f-4. The DRM responsibilities include:
•       Regular communication with the Investment Adviser with respect to the implementation of the Program;
•       Completion and monitoring of a risk assessment for each Fund; and
•       Periodic reporting to the Board.
Forward Foreign Currency ContractsA forward foreign currency contract ("Forward Contract") is a commitment to buy or sell a specific amount of a foreign currency at a negotiated price on a specified future date. Forward Contracts can help a fund manage the risk of changes in currency exchange rates. These contracts are marked-to-market daily at the applicable forward currency translation rates. Each Fund records realized gains or losses at the time the Forward Contract is closed. A Forward Contract is extinguished through a closing transaction or upon delivery of the currency or entering an offsetting contract. A Fund’s maximum risk of loss from counterparty credit risk related to Forward Contracts is the fair value of the contract. Each Fund utilized Forward Contracts for hedging purposes to protect each Fund's return against adverse currency movements.
For the year ended September 30, 2023, the Funds' average volume of forward foreign currency contracts, purchased and sold, were as follows:
  Forward Foreign
Currency
Contracts - Purchased
  Forward Foreign
Currency
Contracts - Sold
Sirios Long/Short Fund $973,391   $6,128,212
Sirios Focus Fund $377,579   $2,475,696
Purchased Options — The Funds may purchase option contracts. They are subject to interest rate and other risk exposure in the normal course of pursuing their investment objectives. The risk associated with purchasing an option is that the Funds pay a premium whether or not the option is exercised. Additionally, the Funds bear the risk of loss of premium and change in market value should the counterparty not perform under the contract. Put and call options are accounted for in the same manner as other securities owned. The cost of securities acquired through the exercise of call options is increased by the premiums paid. The proceeds from securities sold through the exercise of put options are decreased by the premiums paid.
Total Return Swaps — Total return swaps are contracts in which both parties agree to make payments of the total return from a reference instrument during a specified period. The total return includes appreciation or depreciation on the underlying asset, plus any interest or dividend payments. The unrealized appreciation or depreciation also includes interest charges and credits ("financing fees") related to the notional values of the long and short positions and cash balances within the swap. These interest charges and credits are based on a specified benchmark rate, such as the U.S. effective federal funds rate ("EFFR"). Payments under the swap are based upon an agreed upon principal amount but, since the principal amount is not exchanged, it represents neither an asset nor a liability to either counterparty, and is referred to as notional. Total return swaps are marked to market daily using different sources, including quotations from counterparties, pricing services, brokers or market makers. The unrealized appreciation or depreciation related to the change in the valuation of the notional amount of the swap is combined with the amount due to the Fund at termination or settlement. The primary risks associated with total return swaps are credit risks (if the counterparty fails to meet its obligations) and market risk (if there is no liquid market for the swap or unfavorable changes occur to the underlying reference instrument). The Funds used total return swaps to enhance returns, obtain short exposure as part of the Funds' strategy and for market exposure.
For the year ended September 30, 2023, the average notional volume of the total return swaps were as follows:
  Notional Amount - Long   Notional Amount - Short
Sirios Long/Short Fund $4,652,799   $9,192,017
Sirios Focus Fund 1,906,097

SIRIOS FUNDS
Notes to Financial Statements (Continued)
September 30, 2023
As of September 30, 2023, the Sirios Long/Short Fund and the Sirios Focus Fund had securities pledged as collateral for total return swaps and forward foreign currency contracts totaling $3,993,605 and $520,148, respectively.
Counterparty Risk — Certain of the derivatives entered into by each Fund may not be traded on an exchange but instead will be privately negotiated in the over-the-counter market. This means that these instruments are traded between counterparties based on contractual relationships. Relying on a counterparty exposes a Fund to the risk that a counterparty will not settle a transaction in accordance with its terms and conditions because of a dispute over the terms of the contract (whether or not bona fide) or because of a credit or liquidity problem, thus causing a Fund to suffer a loss. If a counterparty defaults on its payment obligations to a Fund, this default will cause the value of an investment in a Fund to decrease. In addition, to the extent a Fund deals with a limited number of counterparties, it will be more susceptible to the credit risks associated with those counterparties. Each Fund is neither restricted from dealing with any particular counterparty nor from concentrating any or all of its transactions with one counterparty. The ability of each Fund to transact business with any one or number of counterparties and the absence of a regulated market to facilitate settlement may increase the potential for losses by each Fund.
Each Fund is subject to the risk that issuers of the instruments in which it invests and trades may default on their obligations, and that certain events may occur that have an immediate and significant adverse effect on the value of those instruments. There can be no assurance that an issuer will not default, or that an event that has an immediate and significant adverse effect on the value of an instrument will not occur, and that each Fund will not sustain a loss on a transaction as a result.
Liquidity Risk — Each Fund may be subject to liquidity risk primarily due to investments in derivatives. Each Fund may invest up to 15% of its net assets in illiquid securities or instruments. Certain derivatives, such as swaps, forward contracts and options may not be readily marketable and, therefore, may be deemed to be illiquid. An asset is not readily marketable if it cannot be sold within seven business days in the ordinary course of business for approximately the amount at which it is valued. Investments in illiquid assets involve the risk that the Fund may be unable to sell the asset or sell it at a reasonable price. In addition, each Fund may be required to liquidate positions or close out derivatives on unfavorable terms at a time contrary to the interests of each Fund in order to raise cash to pay redemptions.
An investment in derivatives is also subject to the risk that the Fund may not be able to terminate the derivatives effective on whatever date it chooses, or that the settlement of any early termination may depend on subsequent market movements. As a result, each Fund may be exposed to the risk of additional losses due to such delays.
Master Netting Agreement — In order to define its contractual rights and to secure rights that will help mitigate its counterparty risk, each Fund has entered into an International Swaps and Derivatives Association, Inc. Master Agreement (“ISDA Master Agreement”). An ISDA Master Agreement is a bilateral agreement between the Fund and a counterparty that governs certain OTC derivatives and typically contains, among other things, collateral posting terms and netting provisions in the event of a default and/or termination event. Under an ISDA Master Agreement, each Fund may, under certain circumstances, offset with the counterparty certain derivative financial instruments’ payables and/or receivables with collateral held and/or posted and create one single net payment. The provisions of the ISDA Master Agreement typically permit a single net payment in the event of default including the bankruptcy or insolvency of the counterparty. Bankruptcy or insolvency laws of a particular jurisdiction may restrict or prohibit the right of offset in bankruptcy, insolvency or other events. In addition, certain ISDA Master Agreements allow counterparties to terminate derivative contracts prior to maturity in the event a Fund’s net assets decline by a stated percentage or a Fund fails to meet the terms of its ISDA Master Agreements. The result would cause a Fund to accelerate payment of any net liability owed to the counterparty.
Collateral Requirements — For derivatives traded under an ISDA Master Agreement, the collateral requirements are typically calculated by netting the mark-to-market amount for each transaction under such agreement and comparing that amount to the value of any collateral currently pledged by each Fund and the counterparty. Cash collateral that has been pledged to cover obligations of each Fund and cash collateral received from the counterparty, if any, is reported separately on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities as cash pledged as collateral and cash received as collateral, respectively. Non-cash collateral pledged by each Fund, if any, is noted in the Portfolio of Investments. Generally, the amount of collateral due from or to a counterparty is subject to a certain minimum transfer amount threshold before a transfer is required, which is determined at the close of business of each Fund. Any additional required collateral is delivered to/pledged by each Fund on the next business day. Typically, the counterparty is not permitted to sell, re-pledge or use cash and non-cash collateral it receives. A Fund generally agrees not to use non-cash collateral that it receives but may, absent default or certain other circumstances defined in the underlying ISDA Master Agreement, be permitted to use cash collateral received. In such cases, interest may be paid pursuant to the collateral arrangement with the counterparty. To the extent amounts due to each Fund from its counterparties are not fully collateralized, they bear the risk of loss from counterparty non-

performance. Likewise, to the extent each Fund has delivered collateral to a counterparty and stands ready to perform under the terms of its agreement with such counterparty, it bears the risk of loss from a counterparty in the amount of the value of the collateral in the event the counterparty fails to return such collateral. Based on the terms of agreements, collateral may not be required for all derivative contracts. For financial reporting purposes, each Fund does not offset derivative assets and derivative liabilities that are subject to netting arrangements, if any, in the Statements of Assets and Liabilities.
The following tables present derivative assets and liabilities net of amounts available for offset under a master netting agreement and any related collateral received or posted by each Fund for forward foreign currency contracts and total return swaps as of September 30, 2023:

** Net amount represents the net payable to the counterparty in the event of a default.
Currency Risk Each Fund invests in securities of foreign issuers, including American Depositary Receipts. These markets are subject to special risks associated with foreign investments not typically associated with investing in U.S. markets. Because the foreign securities in which each Fund may invest generally trade in currencies other than the U.S. dollar, changes in currency exchange rates will affect each Fund's NAV, the value of dividends and interest earned and gains and losses realized on the sale of securities. Because the NAV for each Fund is determined on the basis of U.S. dollars, each Fund may lose money by investing in a foreign security if the local currency of a foreign market depreciates against the U.S. dollar, even if the local currency value of each Fund's holdings goes up. Generally, a strong U.S. dollar relative to these other currencies will adversely affect the value of each Fund's holdings in foreign securities.
Foreign Securities Market Risk Securities of many non-U.S. companies may be less liquid and their prices more volatile than securities of comparable U.S. companies. Securities of companies traded in many countries outside the U.S., particularly emerging markets countries, may be subject to further risks due to the inexperience of local investment professionals and financial institutions, the possibility of permanent or temporary termination of trading and greater spreads between bid and asked prices of securities. In addition, non-U.S. stock exchanges and investment professionals are subject to less governmental regulation, and commissions may be higher than in the United States. Also, there may be delays in the settlement of non-U.S. stock exchange transactions.
Short Sales Each Fund may sell securities short. A short sale involves the sale by a Fund of a security that it does not own with the anticipation of purchasing the same security at a later date at a lower price. If the price of the security has increased during this time, then a Fund will incur a loss equal to the increase in price from the time that the short sale was entered into plus any premiums and interest paid to the third party. Therefore, short sales involve the risk that losses may be exaggerated, potentially losing more money than the actual cost of the investment. Also, there is the risk that the third party to the short sale may fail to honor its contract terms, causing a loss to a Fund. There can be no assurance that a Fund will be able to close out a short position at any

particular time or at an acceptable price. Although a Fund’s gain is limited to the amount at which it sold a security short, its potential loss is unlimited. The Funds comply with guidelines established by the Securities and Exchange Commission and other applicable regulatory bodies with respect to coverage of short sales.
As of September 30, 2023, the Sirios Long/Short Fund had securities sold short totaling $990,861, securities pledged as collateral totaling $1,028,033 and deposits with brokers for securities sold short totaling $1,070,794.
In accordance with the terms of its prime brokerage agreements, the Fund may receive rebate income or be charged fees on securities sold short. Such income or fee is calculated on a daily basis based upon the market value of securities sold short and a variable rate that is dependent upon the availability of such security.

2. Transactions with Related Parties and Other Service Providers
Sirios Capital Management, L.P. (“Sirios”) serves as the investment adviser to each Fund pursuant to an investment advisory agreement with the Trust. For its services, the Adviser earns a monthly fee at the annual rate of 1.35% of the Sirios Long/Short Fund’s average daily net assets; and 0.90% of the Sirios Focus Fund’s average daily net assets. The Adviser has contractually agreed to reduce its compensation and/or reimburse certain expenses of each Fund to the extent necessary to ensure that each Fund’s total operating expenses, excluding taxes, interest, extraordinary items, brokerage commissions, fees and expenses attributable to a distribution or service plan adopted by the Trust, dividend and interest expense on short sales of securities and “Acquired Fund Fees and Expenses,” as defined in Form N-1A, do not exceed 1.60% (on an annual basis) of each Fund’s average daily net assets (the “Expense Limitation”). The Expense Limitation will remain in place until April 30, 2024 for the Sirios Long/Short Fund and February 1, 2024 for the Sirios Focus Fund, unless the Board of Trustees approves its earlier termination. The Adviser is entitled to recover, subject to approval by the Board of Trustees, such amounts waived, reduced or reimbursed for a period of up to three (3) years from the date on which the Adviser reduced its compensation and/or assumed expenses for each Fund. The Adviser is permitted to seek recoupment from each Fund for fees it waived and Fund expenses it paid to the extent the total annual fund operating expenses do not exceed the limits described above or any lesser limits in effect at the time of the reimbursement. No reimbursement will occur unless each Fund’s expenses are below the Expense Limitation. As of September 30, 2023, the amount of potential recovery was as follows:
  09/30/2024   09/30/2025   09/30/2026   Total
Sirios Long/Short Fund $230,327   $238,000   $237,648   $705,975
Sirios Focus Fund 105,845   128,899   151,615   386,359
The Funds have not recorded a commitment or contingent liability at September 30, 2023.
For the year ended ended September 30, 2023, the Adviser earned advisory fees of $400,097 and $101,297 for the Sirios Long/Short Fund and the Sirios Focus Fund, respectively.

The Funds have followed the authoritative guidance on accounting for and disclosure of uncertainty in tax positions, which requires the Funds to determine whether a tax position is more likely than not to be sustained upon examination, including resolution

SIRIOS FUNDS

September 30, 2023
of any related appeals or litigation processes, based on the technical merits of the position. Tax positions not deemed to meet the more-likely-than-not threshold would be recorded as tax benefit or expense in the current year. Each Fund has determined that there was no effect on the financial statements from following this authoritative guidance. In the normal course of business, the Funds are subject to examination by federal, state and local jurisdictions, where applicable, for tax years for which applicable statutes of limitations have not expired.
Distributions are determined in accordance with federal income tax regulations, which may differ in amount or character from net investment income and realized gains for financial reporting purposes. Accordingly, the character of distributions and composition of net assets for tax purposes may differ from those reflected in the accompanying financial statements. To the extent these differences are permanent, such amounts are reclassified within the components of net assets based on the tax treatment; temporary differences do not require reclassifications. For the year ended September 30, 2023, these adjustments were to decrease paid-in capital by $43,788 and increase total distributable earnings by $43,788 for the Sirios Focus Fund. These permanent differences were primarily attributable to the write-off of current year net operating loss and a reclass from capital gains to ordinary income. Net investment income, net realized gains and net assets were not affected by these adjustments. For the year ended September 30, 2023, there were no permanent differences reclassified between distributable earnings and paid in capital for the Sirios Long/Short Fund.
For the year ended September 30, 2023, the tax character of distributions paid by the Sirios Long/Short Fund was $735,114 of ordinary income. The tax character of distributions paid by the Sirios Focus Fund was $298,700 of ordinary income dividends. For the year ended September 30, 2022, the tax character of distributions paid by the Sirios Long/Short Fund was $1,412,149 of long-term capital gains. The tax character of distributions paid by the Sirios Focus Fund was $883,100 of ordinary income dividends.
As of September 30, 2023, the components of distributable earnings on a tax basis were as follows:
  Capital Loss
Carryforward
  Unrealized
Appreciation/
(Depreciation)
  Qualified
Late-Year
Losses
Sirios Long/Short Fund $(329,378)   $3,251,097   $(218,918)
Sirios Focus Fund (478,133)   1,038,461   (103,613)
The differences between the book and tax basis components of distributable earnings relate primarily to the timing and recognition of income and gains for federal income tax purposes.
As of September 30, 2023, the federal tax cost, aggregate gross unrealized appreciation and depreciation of securities held by each Fund were as follows:
    Federal
Tax Cost
  Unrealized
Appreciation
  Unrealized
(Depreciation)
  Net Unrealized
Appreciation
Sirios Long/Short Fund   $27,438,806   $5,201,196   $(1,950,099)   $3,251,097
Sirios Focus Fund   10,668,884   1,392,687   (354,226)   1,038,461
Pursuant to federal income tax rules applicable to regulated investment companies, the Funds may elect to treat certain capital losses between November 1 and September 30 and late year ordinary losses ((i) ordinary losses between January 1 and September 30, and (ii) specified ordinary and currency losses between November 1 and September 30) as occurring on the first day of the following tax year. For the year ended September 30, 2023, any amount of losses elected within the tax return will not be recognized for federal income tax purposes until October 1, 2023. For the year ended September 30, 2023, the Sirios Long/Short Fund and the Sirios Focus Fund had late year ordinary loss deferrals of $218,918 and $103,613, respectively.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
To the Board of Trustees of FundVantage Trust and Shareholders of Sirios Long/Short Fund and Sirios Focus Fund
Opinion on the Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying statements of assets and liabilities of Sirios Long/Short Fund and Sirios Focus Fund (collectively referred to as the “Funds”), (two of the series constituting FundVantage Trust (the “Trust”)), including the portfolios of investments, as of September 30, 2023, and the related statements of operations and changes in net assets, and the financial highlights for each of the periods indicated in the table below and the related notes (collectively referred to as the “financial statements”). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of each of the Funds (two of the Funds constituting FundVantage Trust) at September 30, 2023, and the results of their operations, changes in net assets and financial highlights for each of the periods indicated in the table below, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

Basis for Opinion
These financial statements are the responsibility of the Trust’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on each of the Funds’ financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) ("PCAOB") and are required to be independent with respect to the Trust in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Trust is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of the Trust’s internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audits, we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Trust’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.
Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of September 30, 2023 by correspondence with the custodian and brokers; when replies were not received from brokers, we performed other auditing procedures. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
We have served as the auditor of one or more Sirios investment companies since 2018.

SIRIOS FUNDS
Shareholder Tax Information
(Unaudited)
Each Fund is required by Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code to advise its shareholders of the U.S. federal tax status of distributions received by the Fund’s shareholders in respect of such fiscal year. For the year ended September 30, 2023, the tax character of distributions paid by the Sirios Long/Short Fund was $735,114 of ordinary income. The Sirios Focus Fund paid $298,700 of ordinary income dividends for the year ended September 30, 2023. Dividends from net investment income and short-term capital gains are treated as ordinary income dividends for federal income tax purposes.
The Sirios Long/Short Fund and the Sirios Focus Fund designate 34.42% and 23.82%, respectively, of the ordinary income distribution as qualified dividend income pursuant to the Jobs and Growth Tax Relief Reconciliation Act of 2003.
The percentage of ordinary income dividends qualifying for the corporate dividends received deduction for the Sirios Long/Short Fund and the Sirios Focus Fund are 29.22% and 22.17%, respectively.
The percentage of qualified interest income related dividends not subject to withholding tax for non-resident aliens and foreign corporations received is 3.59% for the Sirios Long/Short Fund and 0.75% for the Sirios Focus Fund .
All designations are based on financial information available as of the date of this annual report and, accordingly, are subject to change. For each item, it is the intention of the Fund to designate the maximum amount permitted under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and the regulations thereunder.
Because the Fund’s fiscal year is not the calendar year, another notification will be sent with respect to calendar year 2023. The second notification, which will reflect the amount, if any, to be used by calendar year taxpayers on their U.S. federal income tax returns, will be made in conjunction with Form 1099-DIV and will be mailed in January 2024.
Foreign shareholders will generally be subject to U.S. withholding tax on the amount of their ordinary income dividends. They will generally not be entitled to a foreign tax credit or deduction for the withholding taxes paid by the Fund, if any.
In general, dividends received by tax-exempt recipients (e.g., IRAs and Keoghs) need not be reported as taxable income for U.S. federal income tax purposes. However, some retirement trusts (e.g., corporate, Keogh and 403(b)(7) plans) may need this information for their annual information reporting.
Shareholders are advised to consult their own tax advisers with respect to the tax consequences of their investment in the Fund.

SIRIOS FUNDS
Statement Regarding Liquidity Risk Management Program
(Unaudited)
The Securities and Exchange Commission adopted Rule 22e-4 under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “Liquidity Rule”) to promote effective liquidity risk management throughout the open-end investment company industry, thereby reducing the risk that funds will be unable to meet their redemption obligations and mitigating dilution of the interests of fund shareholders.
The Board of Trustees (the “Board”) of FundVantage Trust, on behalf of the Sirios Long/Short Fund and the Sirios Focus Fund (each a “Fund”, and together, the "Funds"), met on September 18-19, 2023 (the “Meeting”) to review the liquidity risk management program (the “Program”) applicable to the Funds, pursuant to the Liquidity Rule. The Board has appointed a committee of individuals to serve as each program administrator for each Fund's Program (the “Program Committee”). At the Meeting, the Program Committee provided the Board with a report that addressed the operation of each Program and assessed its adequacy and effectiveness of implementation and any material changes to the Program as of June 30, 2023 (the “Report”).
The Report described each Program’s liquidity classification methodology. It also described the Program Committee’s methodology in determining whether a Highly Liquid Investment Minimum (a “HLIM”) is necessary and noted that, given the composition of each Fund’s portfolio holdings, a HLIM was not currently required for each Fund.
The Report noted that the Program complied with the key factors for consideration under the Liquidity Rule for assessing, managing and periodically reviewing liquidity risk, as follow:
A. Each Fund's investment strategy and liquidity of Fund investments during both normal and reasonably foreseeable stressed conditions: As part of the Report, the Program Committee reviewed each Fund’s strategy and its determination that the strategy remains appropriate for an open-end fund structure. This determination was based on each Fund’s holdings of Highly Liquid Investments, the diversification of holdings and the related average position size of the holdings.
B. Short-term and long-term cash flow projections during both normal and reasonably foreseeable stressed conditions: As part of the Report, the Program Committee reviewed historical net redemption activity and noted that it used this information as a component to establish each Fund’s reasonably anticipated trading size. Each Fund has adopted an in-kind redemption policy which may be utilized to meet larger redemption requests. The Program Committee also took into consideration each Fund’s shareholder ownership concentration and the fact that the shares of each Fund are offered through intermediaries. The intermediary agreements increase the likelihood of large unanticipated redemptions, meaning a Fund may not have the ability to conduct an orderly sale of portfolio securities. The amount of assets a Fund has on these platforms is a significant factor in the ability of each Fund to meet redemption expectations. In light of each Fund’s holdings, it was noted that each Fund maintains a high level of liquidity to meet shareholder redemptions under both normal and stressed market conditions.
C. Holdings of cash and cash equivalents, as well as borrowing arrangements: As part of the Report, the Program Committee reviewed any changes in each Fund’s cash and cash equivalents positions in response to current/anticipated redemption activity or market conditions. It was noted that each Fund does not currently have a borrowing or other credit funding arrangement.
