  An Owner’s Manual   IVA Funds

    An Atypical Investment Strategy
     
   
We manage both the IVA Worldwide and IVA International Funds with a dual attempt that is unusual in the mutual fund world: in the short-term (12-18 months), our attempt is to try to preserve capital, while in the longer-term (5-10 years, i.e., over a full economic cycle), we seek to perform better than the MSCI All Country World Index, in the case of your IVA Worldwide Fund, and the MSCI All Country World Ex-U.S. Index, in the case of your IVA International Fund.
     
   
The Worldwide Fund is typically used by investors who are looking for an “all weather fund” where we are given the latitude to decide how much we should have in the U.S. versus outside the U.S. The International Fund is typically used by investors who practice asset allocation and want to decide for themselves how much should be allocated to a domestic manager and how much should be allocated to a pure “international” (i.e., non-U.S.) manager, yet at the same time are looking for a lower risk – and lower volatility – exposure to international markets than may be obtained from a more traditional international fund.
     
   
We believe our investment approach is very different from the traditional approach of most mutual funds. We are trying to deliver returns that are as absolute as possible, i.e., returns that try to be as resilient as possible in down markets, while many of our competitors try to deliver good relative performance, i.e., try to beat an index, and thus would be fine with being down 15% if their benchmark is down 20%.
     
   
Why do we have such an unusual strategy (which, incidentally, is not easy to carry out)? Because we believe this strategy makes sense for many investors. We are fond of the quote by Mark Twain: “There are two times in a man’s life when he should not speculate: the first time is when he cannot afford to; the second time is when he can.” We realize that many investors cannot tolerate high volatility and appreciate that “life’s bills do not always come at market tops.” This strategy also appeals to us at International Value Advisers since we “eat our own cooking” for a significant part of our savings (invested in IVA products) and we have an extreme aversion to losing money.
     
    An Eclectic Investment Approach
     
    Here is how we try to implement our strategy:
     
   
 
We don’t hug benchmarks. In practical terms, this means we are willing to make big “negative bets,” i.e., having nothing or little in what has become big in the benchmark. Conversely, we will generally seek to avoid overly large positive bets.
         
   
 
We prefer having diversified portfolios (100 to 150 names). Because we invest on a global basis, we believe that diversification helps protect against weak corporate governance or insufficient disclosure, or simply against “unknown unknowns.”
         
   
 
We like the flexibility to invest in small, medium and large companies, depending on where we see value.
         
   
 
We attempt to capture equity-type returns through fixed income securities but predominantly when credit markets (or sub-sets of them) are depressed and offer this potential.
         
   
 
We hold some gold, either in bullion form or via gold mining securities, as we feel it provides a good hedge in either an inflationary or deflationary period, and it can help mitigate currency debasement over time.
         
   
 
We are willing to hold cash when we cannot find enough cheap securities that we like or when we find some, yet the broader market (Mr. Market) seems fully priced. We will seek to use that cash as ammunition for future bargains.
         
   
 
At the individual security level, we ask a lot of questions about “what can go wrong?” and will establish not only a “base case intrinsic value” but also a “worst case scenario” (What could prove us wrong? If we were wrong, are we likely to lose 25%, 30%, or even more of the money invested?). As a result, we will miss some opportunities, yet hopefully, we will also avoid instances where we experience a permanent impairment of value.

Letter from the President IVA Funds

 
Dear Shareholder:

This report covers the first six months of our seventh year of managing the IVA Worldwide and the IVA International Fund (the “Funds”). We have acknowledged in the past, and will continue to in the future, that because of our investment strategy, our Funds may lag global equity indices (and the S&P 500, which is not a benchmark for our Funds since it is only comprised of U.S. companies, but is so omnipresent for our end clients) not only when they are rising but also when equities are valued too handsomely for our conservative taste.

In today’s era of “quantitative easing,” we continue to see money pouring into equity funds, especially index funds, as investors chase returns. Behavioral investing plays a powerful role in an individual’s actions and most people cannot bear sitting on cash yielding zero, losing purchasing power every day when global equity markets are steadily rising. But is a fully invested index fund really the right place to be? We understand that government manufactured low interest rates create an incentive to chase higher returns in risky assets. The temptation (for some, remember, behavior influences investing oftentimes more than valuation) to pay up for equities becomes alluring when cash or Treasury bills yield nothing (or in some parts of the world, less than nothing, for example, today in Switzerland investing in Swiss 10 year debt comes with the privilege of paying the government to lend them money! – the same holds in Denmark for government debt up to 5 years!). There is, in our opinion and evidenced by government debt pricing in Switzerland and Denmark, significant risk with how distorted asset prices are due to central bankers’ actions, and today one is likely not paid enough for the risk of investing in a basket of securities that is fully valued.
       
 
We are willing to hold cash and let it build up when we cannot find enough attractive investment opportunities. Cash has a few powerful advantages: it helps to mitigate overall portfolio volatility, it helps to protect the portfolio on the downside, and it also provides the dry powder necessary to take advantage of genuine bargains that may appear in the future. We believe the true return on our cash will be measured a few years from now, based on the bargains we hope to be able to buy with our cash.
       
 
It is important to know that not all active managers are created equal! Not every person sitting in my seat can write this letter with such confidence. So it is important to find an active manager with a disciplined investment strategy, a proven track record, reasonable fees, one who cares about fund size and recognizes capacity constraints, “eats their own cooking” and has a willingness to stand outside the herd. Few asset management firms set up today are willing to lose assets in an effort to protect their clients’ wealth. We, at IVA, are at peace with such a scenario, attempting to protect your money is the only thing that matters when measured against protecting the well-being of our Firm.
       
 
We strive to invest in a way where our clients do not have to worry about timing their entry into or exit from our Funds. We believe minimizing drawdowns is one of the best ways to compound wealth and if we can minimize drawdowns, compounding becomes a wonderful force and the timing issue fades away. We remain focused on delivering absolute returns over the long-term, preserving purchasing power, staying disciplined with our investment strategy and always focusing on buying businesses whose stock offers a meaningful margin of safety.
       
 
The Funds continue to be managed by Charles de Vaulx and Chuck de Lardemelle. Charles and Chuck both have incredible intellect and focus, a passion for investing, and are very risk conscious. In addition, they have worked together for over 18 years and we believe having these two lead our investment team (10 analysts and 4 traders) creates the best possible environment for managing our clients’ assets.

Letter from the President IVA Funds

 
It is tremendously fulfilling to build IVA and the Funds. We hope that in the process we are nurturing a culture where everyone at IVA respects the work we are doing for our clients.
   
 
I want to offer thanks to all of my colleagues and to our shareholders for their continued support.
   
  Sincerely,
   
 
   
  Michael W. Malafronte, President
   
  Effective February 22, 2011, the IVA Worldwide Fund and IVA International Fund are closed to new investors.
   
  Drawdown is the peak-to-trough decline during a specific record period of a fund. A drawdown is usually quoted as a percentage between the peak and the trough.

Letter from the Portfolio Managers IVA Funds

   
May 4, 2015

Dear Shareholder:

The period under review, October 1, 2014 to March 31, 2015, saw continued appreciation of both the Worldwide and International Funds, despite two major developments: the collapse in oil prices and a rapid appreciation of the U.S. dollar against the euro.

The International Fund had a negligible allocation to oil, and the appreciation of the U.S. dollar was mitigated by a large cash position in U.S. dollars, partial currency hedges on the yen and the euro, and the fact that a number of our investments in Europe are exporters, where the underlying businesses benefit from a higher U.S. dollar.

The turmoil in commodities, in general, allowed us to make an investment in what we consider a large, reasonably low cost, and well capitalized copper mining company, Antofagasta Plc, for both Funds, as well as First Resources Ltd., a producer of palm oil, for the International Fund.

The rout in oil prices however, did not yield opportunities (yet) in the U.S. exploration and production (“E&P”) businesses. The oil producers in the U.S. are high cost by global standards, and the low cost producers of oil are not listed (think Saudi Aramco and other national oil companies). Despite the price of oil in Texas falling from $90 per barrel at the beginning of October 2014 to less than $50 per barrel by the end of March 2015, the credit market and the equity market remained wide open even to poorly capitalized E&P companies.

The Worldwide Fund’s performance was impacted by roughly 1% due to the fall in oil prices during the period, versus 1.7% for the MSCI All Country World Index.

Our largest oil investment currently in the Worldwide Fund is Cimarex Energy Co., which we think is an extremely well run and very conservative company. Cimarex’s strong balance sheet allows the company to retire rigs and cut new drilling in these lean times for the industry. Less fortunate companies are often forced to continue to drill and produce oil at inadequate returns to placate their lenders.

This is a good illustration of the perverse effects of current monetary policies. Is it possible that the combination of too much debt and easy money, far from helping reflate the economy, might be deflationary, by forcing overcapacity in a number of industries, or keeping zombie companies alive? Do low interest rates force retirees to consume less because the capital they put aside for retirement is not providing much income?

 
Post World War II, 10-year interest rates peaked to over 15% in the U.S. in 1981, and have fallen to less than 2% today. This has been a powerful engine to the bull market in the U.S. for more than a generation, one that cannot be repeated in the next generation.
   
 
One thing is for sure: the years since The Great Financial Crisis have been marked by unprecedented manipulation of financial markets by central bankers around the globe. Quantitative easing, or the heavy printing of paper currency, started in the U.S. in late 2008, and spread to Japan and now Europe, where it will extend, we are told, at least until 2016. More importantly, the global imbalances existing in this derelict global monetary

system in 2007 have worsened: global debt to GDP has continued to go up, driven by emerging economies this time.
   
 
Today the situation has reached absurdity: investors pay some governments for the “privilege” to lend to them! Many hundreds of millions of dollars worth of government paper worldwide now carry negative yields, and some governments (Germany, Switzerland and Denmark, for example) have been able to borrow at negative rates.
   
 
Over the period, we added to our gold bullion position in both Funds. Gold is a currency that central bankers cannot debase, and its price is reasonable in our opinion. The other (few and far between) opportunities unearthed by our 10 talented analysts were in Asia ex-Japan over the period.
   
 
At IVA, we remain focused on understanding businesses and trying to acquire a stake in these businesses at attractive valuations: paying substantially less than what we believe a knowledgeable buyer would pay in cash for the whole business. We spend our time scrubbing the books; understanding previous transactions done for cash in the industry; assessing whether the balance sheet of investments under consideration is solid enough to weather a serious recession; and asking what the business may look like 10 years down the road. If our criteria is not met, we will let cash build up in our portfolios.
   
 
Far from burning a hole in our pockets, we view that cash as an option on future bargains. Roughly 37% of the Worldwide Fund and 29% of the International Fund sits in cash as of March 31, 2015. The cash is in the form of commercial paper of our choosing, with short maturities and no direct exposure to financial institutions.
   
 
We remain focused, more than ever, on preservation of capital. When it comes to that we believe IVA offers some rare characteristics: we are privately owned, we are not subject to the pressures of short-term relative performance or a necessity to grow assets through aggressive marketing, we eat our own cooking (partners and employees of the firm collectively have a very substantial amount invested in the Funds), and we have no desire to put the Funds’ shareholders’ capital at risk in the hope of making a quick buck to gather more assets. In fact, the Funds remain closed to new investors.
   
 
The world may be as complicated and fast paced as ever today. But the bottom line is simple: one is not being compensated adequately for risk currently. We shall wait for the fat pitch.
   
  We appreciate your continued confidence and thank you for your support.

Management’s Discussion of Fund Performance (unaudited) IVA Funds

 
Global equity markets were volatile over this six month period, falling in the first halves of October, December, January, and March, partly due to a number of major market developments. The Federal Reserve ended its quantitative easing (QE) program in October 2014, and over this period we saw the U.S. dollar strengthen significantly against all major currencies while the price of crude oil fell drastically due to excess supply, slowing demand and the U.S. shale oil fast-growing production. In January 2015, the Swiss National Bank announced it would abolish its peg between the Swiss franc and the euro, which resulted in the Swiss franc appreciating significantly against the euro. Additionally, the European Central Bank announced it would launch a QE program in March 2015 in order to boost the region’s inflation rate. This resulted in the euro falling significantly against the U.S. dollar, at one point to a 12 year low. Broadly speaking, the global economic recovery continues to be led by the U.S. while economic conditions in Japan and China have weakened.
   
 
We capitalized on the market volatility over this period by finding some new opportunities and adding to existing positions when their share prices fell. We added a small position in Bureau Veritas SA (industrials, France) in both Funds, which we consider a high quality company that provides a range of consulting services. We also added a small position in Antofogasta Plc (materials, United Kingdom) in both Funds, which we view as a well-capitalized, reasonably low cost copper producer. In the Worldwide Fund, we added two positions already in the International Fund: Hongkong & Shanghai Hotels Ltd. (consumer discretionary, Hong Kong) and Springland International Holdings Ltd. (consumer discretionary, China). In the International Fund, we added a position in Thaicom PCL (telecommunication services, Thailand), a satellite communications stock, a position in First Resources Ltd. (consumer staples, Singapore), a palm oil producer, and a very small position in Great Eagle Holdings Ltd. (financials, Hong Kong), a property developer, investor and hotel operator. We also took advantage of the share price weakness in News Corporation Class ‘A’ and Class ‘B’ (consumer discretionary, U.S.) and DeVry Education Group Inc. (consumer discretionary, U.S.) to add to those positions. Although we found some new opportunities this period, as markets continued appreciating, some of our holdings got closer to or reached their intrinsic value and we trimmed or sold them, especially in the U.S. in the Worldwide Fund and in the consumer sectors in the International Fund. As a result, our equity exposure declined to 50.6% from 51.9% six months ago in the Worldwide Fund, and to 56.1% from 60.0%, respectively, in the International Fund. Our cash exposure rose to 37.1% from 36.3% six months ago in the Worldwide Fund, and to 28.5% from 24.8%, respectively, in the International Fund.
   
 
Over the period we did not find any new opportunities in fixed income as it remains difficult to find bonds offering “equity-like returns” and we are concerned about the lack of liquidity and artificial pricing in the bond market. As of March 31, 2015, our fixed income exposure totaled 7.4% in Worldwide (4.2% corporate bonds and 3.2% sovereign bonds). In the International Fund, our fixed income exposure totaled 9.3% (4.9% corporate bonds and 4.4% sovereign bonds).
   
 
We increased our exposure to gold over the period in both Funds when the price of gold got close to $1,200/ounce, and as more countries are willing to utilize quantitative easing and let their rates get very low, even negative, either in real or nominal terms. Our exposure to gold rose to 4.3% from 2.8% in the Worldwide Fund, and to 5.1% from 3.3% in the International Fund. Gold averaged a return of -2.1% over the period and detracted -0.1% from both Funds’ returns.
   
 
As always, over the short-term we remain focused on capital preservation and attempting to deliver solid absolute returns.

Management’s Discussion of Fund Performance (unaudited) IVA Funds

  IVA Worldwide Fund
   
 
The IVA Worldwide Fund Class A, at net asset value, returned 0.67% over the six month period ending March 31, 2015 compared to the MSCI All Country World Index (Net)* (the “Index”) return of 2.73% over the same period. Our meaningful cash exposure, which averaged 36% over the period, and performance of our fixed income holdings weighed significantly on relative results.
   
 
Our corporate bonds averaged a return of -10.8%, as our Wendel bonds were hurt by a weak euro. Our sovereign bonds, mostly of Singapore, averaged a return of -7.2%, as our Singapore bonds were negatively impacted by the strength of the U.S. dollar. Collectively, fixed income detracted -0.8% from our return.
   
 
For some time now, we have neutralized part of our foreign exchange risk by being partially hedged against several currencies (the euro, Japanese yen, South Korean won, and Australian dollar). This has helped to offset recent losses from the strong U.S. dollar and over this period our currency hedges contributed 1.5% to the Worldwide Fund return.
   
 
Over the period our equities averaged a gain of 1.5% versus those in the Index gaining 2.8%. Our stock picking in the consumer discretionary sector and the U.S. weighed on relative results. Our consumer discretionary stocks detracted -0.2% from our return led by poor performance from DeVry Education Group Inc. (consumer discretionary, U.S.) and a number of stocks in Asia while those in the Index added 1.3% to its return. A few of our energy stocks in the U.S. were among our top individual detractors from return this period: Rosetta Resources Inc. (energy, U.S.), Laredo Petroleum Holdings, Inc. (energy, U.S.), and Occidental Petroleum Corp. (energy, U.S.). Collectively, our energy stocks detracted -1.1% from our return, however, we held up better than those in the Index, which detracted -1.7%. We had a concentrated position in U.S. oil and gas exploration and production companies, which experienced a loss as the price of crude oil declined substantially over the period. We trimmed our energy exposure to 2.1% from 5.3% six months ago. On the plus side, we benefited from good stock picking in technology as those stocks added 1.1% to our return, led by solid gains from Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd. (technology, South Korea) and Oracle Corp. (technology, U.S.). Additionally, our health care stocks added 0.4% to our return due to strong performance from Astellas Pharma Inc. (health care, Japan).
   
 
By country, our stocks in Japan added 0.5% to our return followed by our stocks in the U.S., which added 0.3% to our return. Although the U.S. was one of the largest detractors from relative results (due to stock picking and our underweight exposure), we benefited from double-digit returns from Expeditors International of Washington Inc. (industrials, U.S.) and Graham Holdings Co., Class ‘B’ (consumer discretionary, U.S.). Our stocks in France and Malaysia weighed on our return and collectively, these two countries detracted -0.3% from our return.
   
  IVA International Fund
   
 
The IVA International Fund Class A, at net asset value, returned 0.96% over the six month period ending March 31, 2015 compared to the MSCI All Country World (ex-U.S.) Index (Net)* (the “Index”) return of -0.51% over the same period.
   
 
Over the period our equities averaged a gain of 0.7%, while those in the Index averaged a return of -0.4% as we benefited from being significantly underweight Canada, the United Kingdom, and the energy sector. Energy stocks detracted -2.1% from the Index return while they only detracted -0.2% from our return. We benefited from good stock picking in the technology sector as our stocks there added 0.9% to our return led by solid performance

from Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd. (technology, South Korea) and Digital China Holdings Ltd. (technology, China). Additionally, our health care stocks added 0.2% to our return due to strong results from Astellas Pharma Inc. (health care, Japan). On the other hand, our consumer discretionary stocks detracted -0.4% from our return as a few stocks in Asia weighed on our return, such as Genting Malaysia Berhad (consumer discretionary, Malaysia) and Springland International Holdings Ltd. (consumer discretionary, China), however, Toho Co., Ltd. (consumer discretionary, Japan) was among our top contributors to return this period. Our industrials stocks also detracted -0.2% from our return.
   
 
By country, our stocks in Japan added the most to our return, 1.0%, followed by our stocks in Switzerland, which added 0.3% to our return. Conversely, our one holding in Malaysia detracted -0.3% from our return and our stocks in France detracted almost -0.2% from performance, led by poor returns from GDF Suez SA (utilities, France) and Total SA, ADR (energy, France), however, Financière Marc de Lacharriere SA (financials, France) was among our top contributors to return.
   
 
For some time now, we have neutralized part of our foreign exchange risk by being partially hedged against several currencies (the euro, Japanese yen, South Korean won, and Australian dollar). This has helped to offset recent losses from the strong U.S. dollar, and this period our currency hedges added 2.5% to the International Fund return.
   
 
Our corporate bonds averaged a return of -13.1%, as our Wendel bonds were hurt by a weak euro. Our sovereign bonds, mostly of Singapore, averaged a return of -7.3%, as our Singapore bonds were negatively impacted by the strength of the U.S. dollar. Collectively, fixed income detracted -1.2% from our return.
   
 
Investment Risks: There are risks associated with investing in securities of foreign countries, such as erratic market conditions, economic and political instability and fluctuations in currency exchange rates. Value-based investments are subject to the risk that the broad market may not recognize their intrinsic value.

The MSCI All Country World (ex-U.S.) Index (Net) is an unmanaged, free float-adjusted, market capitalization weighted index composed of stocks of companies located in countries throughout the world, excluding the United States.

Please note that an investor cannot invest directly in an index.

Hypothetical illustration of $10,000 invested in Class A shares on October 1, 2008, assuming the deduction of the maximum initial sales charge of 5% at the time of investment for Class A shares and the reinvestment of all distributions, including returns of capital, if any, at net asset value through March 31, 2015. The performance of the Fund’s other classes may be greater or less than the Class A shares’ performance indicated on this chart depending on whether greater or lesser sales charges and fees were incurred by shareholders investing in the other classes.

Past performance is no guarantee of future results.   The performance data quoted represents past performance and current returns may be lower or higher. The investment return and principal value will fluctuate so that an investor’s shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than the original cost. The returns do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on Fund distributions or the redemption of Fund shares. To obtain performance information current to the most recent month-end, please call 866-941-4482.

The maximum sales charge for Class A shares is 5.00%. Class C shares may include a 1.00% contingent deferred sales charge for the first year only. The expense ratios for the Fund are as follows: 1.26% (Class A shares); 2.01% (Class C shares); and 1.01% (Class I shares). These expense ratios are as stated in the most recent Prospectus dated January 31, 2015. More recent expense ratios can be found in the Financial Highlights section of this Semi-Annual Report.

Note 1 – Organization and Significant Accounting Policies

IVA Fiduciary Trust (the “Trust”) consists of the IVA Worldwide Fund (the “Worldwide Fund”) and IVA International Fund (the “International Fund”) (each, a “Fund” and, together, the “Funds”). The Worldwide Fund and the International Fund are each a diversified investment portfolio of the Trust, an open-end series management investment company registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”), and organized as a Massachusetts business trust. The Funds commenced investment operations on October 1, 2008. The Worldwide Fund seeks long-term growth of capital by investing in a range of securities and asset classes from markets around the world, including U.S. markets. The International Fund seeks long-term growth of capital by investing in a range of securities and asset classes from markets around the world.

The following are significant accounting policies followed by the Funds in the preparation of their financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”).

Use of Estimates. Preparation of these financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires the Funds’ management to make estimates and assumptions that may affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and related notes. Actual results could differ from these estimates.

Valuation of the Funds. The net asset value per share (“NAV”) of a Fund’s shares of a particular class is calculated each day that the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) is open.

Listed equity securities are generally valued at the last sale price on the exchange that is the primary market for such securities. Equity securities listed on the NASDAQ Stock Exchange (“NASDAQ”) are generally valued using the NASDAQ Official Closing Price (“NOCP”). If no sales or NOCPs are reported during the day, equity securities are generally valued at the mean of the last available bid and asked quotations on the exchange or market on which the security is primarily traded, or using other market information obtained from a quotation reporting system, established market makers, or pricing services. If there is only a bid or only an asked price on such date, valuation will be at such bid or asked price for long and short positions, respectively. Over-the-counter (“OTC”) equity securities not listed on NASDAQ are generally valued at the mean of the last available bid and asked quotations on the market on which the security is primarily traded, or using other market information obtained from a quotation reporting system, established market makers or pricing services. If there is only a bid or only an asked price on such date, valuation will be at such bid or asked price for long or short positions, respectively.

Exchange-traded options are generally valued at the NBBO (National Best Bid and Offer from participant exchanges) reported by the Options Price Reporting Authority. Exchange traded options may also be valued at the mean of the bid and asked quotations on an exchange at closing. OTC options not traded on an exchange are valued at the mean of the bid and asked quotations. If there is only a bid or only an asked price on such date, valuation will be at such bid or asked price for long or short options, respectively.

Precious metals, including gold bullion, are valued at the spot price at the time trading on the NYSE closes (normally 4:00 p.m. E.S.T.).

Debt securities (except for short-term investments having a maturity of 60 days or less as described below) for which market quotations are readily available are valued at the mean between the last bid and asked prices received from dealers in the OTC market in the U.S. or abroad, except that when no asked price is available, debt securities are valued at the last bid price alone. Short-term investments having a maturity of 60 days or less are generally valued at amortized cost, which approximates fair value.

Forward foreign currency contracts are valued at the current cost of offsetting such contracts.

The value of any investment that is listed or traded on more than one exchange or market is based on the exchange or market determined by International Value Advisers, LLC (the “Adviser”) to be the primary trading venue for that investment. A quotation from the exchange or market deemed by the Adviser to be the secondary trading venue for a particular investment may be relied upon in instances where a quotation is not available on the primary exchange or market.

  Notes to Financial Statements (unaudited) IVA Funds 

The Board of Trustees of the Trust (the “Board”) has established a Pricing and Fair Valuation Committee (the “Committee”) comprised of officers of the Adviser to which it has delegated the responsibility for overseeing the implementation of the Funds’ valuation procedures and fair value determinations made on behalf of the Board. The Committee may determine that market quotations are not readily available due to events relating to a single issuer (e.g., corporate actions or announcements) or events relating to multiple issuers (e.g., governmental actions or natural disasters). The Committee may determine that there has been a significant decrease in the volume and level of activity for an asset or liability whereby transactions or quoted prices may not be determinative of fair value. The Committee may determine the fair value of investments based on information provided by pricing services and other third parties, including broker-dealers and other market intermediaries, which may recommend fair value prices or adjustments with reference to other securities, indices or assets. For securities that do not trade during NYSE hours or securities for which there is a foreign market holiday when the NYSE is open, fair valuation determinations are based on analyses of market movements after the close of those securities’ primary markets, and include reviews of developments in foreign markets, the performance of U.S. securities markets, and the performance of instruments trading in U.S. markets that represent foreign securities or baskets of foreign securities. Fair value pricing may require subjective determinations about the value of an asset or liability. Fair values used to determine the Funds’ NAVs may differ from quoted or published prices, or from prices that are used by others, for the same investments. The use of fair value pricing may not always result in adjustments to the prices of securities or other assets or liabilities held by the Funds.

Fair Value Measurement. The Funds adhere to U.S. GAAP fair value accounting standards that establish a single definition of fair value, create a three-tier hierarchy as a framework for measuring fair value based on inputs used to value the Funds’ assets and liabilities, and require additional disclosure about fair value. The hierarchy of inputs is summarized below:

  Level   1 quoted prices in active markets for identical investments
         
  Level   2
other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar or identical investments, amortized cost, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, other observable market data, etc.)
         
  Level   3 significant unobservable inputs (including the Funds’ own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments)

The following is a summary of the inputs used in valuing the Worldwide Fund’s assets at fair value:

    Quoted Prices in   Other Significant   Significant

The Fund’s policy is to recognize transfers between levels as of the end of the reporting period. At March 31, 2015, the Worldwide Fund had no transfers between any levels. For the six months ended March 31, 2015 and the year ended September 30, 2014, there were no Level 3 assets or liabilities held in the Worldwide Fund.

The Fund’s policy is to recognize transfers between levels as of the end of the reporting period. At March 31, 2015, the International Fund had transfers of $697,837 from Level 2 to Level 1 as a result of the Fund using last sale prices. For the six months ended March 31, 2015 and the year ended September 30, 2014, there were no Level 3 assets or liabilities held in the International Fund.

Foreign Currency Translation. Portfolio securities and other assets and liabilities initially valued in currencies other than the U.S. dollar are converted to U.S. dollars using exchange rates obtained from pricing services.

The Funds do not isolate that portion of the results of operations resulting from changes in foreign exchange rates on investments from the fluctuations arising from changes in market prices of investments held. Such fluctuations are included with the net realized and change in unrealized gain or loss on investments.

Net realized foreign currency gains or losses arise from sales of foreign currencies, including gains and losses on forward foreign currency contracts, currency gains or losses realized between the trade and settlement dates on securities transactions, and the difference between the amounts of dividends, interest, and foreign withholding taxes recorded on each Fund’s books and the U.S. dollar equivalent of the amounts actually received or paid. Net change in unrealized foreign currency gains and losses arise from changes in the fair values of assets and liabilities, other than investments, at the date of valuation, resulting from changes in exchange rates.

Portfolio Transactions and Investment Income. Portfolio transactions are recorded on a trade date basis. Interest income, adjusted for amortization of premium and accretion of discount, is recorded on the accrual basis. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date. Realized gains and losses on investment transactions are determined by the specific identification method.

Class Allocation. Investment income, realized and unrealized gains and losses, and Fund expenses are allocated daily to the various classes of each Fund pro rata on the basis of relative net assets. Each class bears certain expenses unique to that class. Differences in class-level expenses may result in payment of different per share dividends by each share class.

Distributions to Shareholders. Distributions are recorded on the ex-dividend date and are determined in accordance with federal income tax regulations, which may differ from U.S. GAAP. Accordingly, the nature of distributions and composition of net assets for tax purposes differ from those reflected in the accompanying financial statements.

Federal and Other Taxes. It is each Fund’s policy to comply with the federal income and excise tax requirements of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, applicable to regulated investment companies. Accordingly, each Fund intends to distribute substantially all of its taxable income and net realized gains, if any, to shareholders each year. Therefore, no federal income tax provision is required in the Funds’ financial statements.

 Notes to Financial Statements (unaudited) IVA Funds 

The Funds adhere to U.S. GAAP accounting standards for accounting for uncertainty in income taxes. This standard defines the threshold for recognizing tax positions in the financial statements as “more-likely-than-not” to be sustained by the applicable taxing authority and requires measurement of a tax position meeting the “more-likely-than-not” criterion, based on the largest benefit that is more than fifty percent realized. Management has analyzed each Fund’s tax positions taken on federal and state tax returns for all open tax years (current, 2013, 2012 and 2011) and determined that no provision for income tax would be required in the Funds’ financial statements. Tax-related interest or penalties, if applicable, are to be disclosed in the Statements of Operations. For the six months ended March 31, 2015, the Funds did not incur any tax-related interest or penalties.

Under the applicable foreign tax laws, a withholding tax may be imposed on interest, dividends and capital gains at various rates. Dividend and interest withholding taxes incurred and capital gains taxes paid, for the six months ended March 31, 2015, can be found in the Statements of Operations.

Forward Foreign Currency Contracts. Each Fund engages in buying and selling forward foreign currency contracts to seek to manage the exposure of investments denominated in non-U.S. currencies against fluctuations in relative value. A forward foreign currency contract involves a privately negotiated obligation to purchase or sell (with delivery generally required) a specific currency at a future date, at a price set at the time of the contract.

Options Transactions. During the six months ended March 31, 2015, the Worldwide Fund had written covered puts and calls on equity securities. Each Fund may write call options to seek to enhance investment return or to hedge against declines in the prices of portfolio securities or may write put options to hedge against increases in the prices of securities which it intends to purchase. A call option is covered if a Fund holds, on a share-for-share basis, either the underlying shares or a call on the same security as the call written where the exercise price of the call held is equal to or less than the exercise price of the call written (or greater than the exercise price of the call written if the difference is maintained by a Fund in cash, treasury bills or other high grade short-term obligations in a segregated account with its custodian). A put option is covered if a Fund maintains cash, treasury bills or other high grade short-term obligations with a value equal to the exercise price in a segregated account with its custodian, or holds on a share-for-share basis a put on the same equity security as the put written where the exercise price of the put held is equal to or greater than the exercise price of the put written, or lower than the exercise price of the put written if the difference is maintained in a segregated account with its custodian.

Premiums received for writing options that expire unexercised are recognized on the expiration date as realized gains. If an option is exercised, the premium received is subtracted from the cost of the purchase or added to the proceeds of the sale to determine whether the Fund has realized a gain or loss on the put or call. When a Fund enters into a closing transaction, the Fund will realize a gain or loss depending upon whether the amount from the closing transaction is greater or less than the premium received.

Foreign Investment Risk. Each Fund invests in foreign investments. Foreign investments can involve additional risks relating to political, economic or regulatory conditions in foreign countries. These risks include fluctuations in foreign currencies; withholding or other taxes; trading, settlement, custodial, and other operational risks; and the less stringent investor protection and disclosure standards of some foreign markets. Since foreign exchanges may be open on days when a Fund does not price its shares, the value of the investments in such Fund’s portfolio may change on days when shareholders will not be able to purchase or sell the Fund’s shares.

Custodian Risk. Cash is held at the Funds’ custodian, State Street Bank and Trust Company (the “Custodian”). The Funds are subject to credit risk on any cash balance that exceeds the amount insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation to the extent that the Custodian may be unable to return cash held.

Indemnification. Under the Trust’s organizational documents, its officers and trustees are indemnified against certain liability arising out of the performance of their duties to the Funds. The Funds have a variety of indemnification obligations under contracts with their service providers. The Funds’ maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown. However, the Funds have not had prior claims or losses pursuant to these contracts and expect the risk of loss to be remote.

Note 2 – Investment Advisory Agreement and Distribution Agreement

International Value Advisers, LLC is the investment adviser of the Funds. The Adviser’s primary business is to provide investment management services to a variety of investment vehicles, including the Funds. The Adviser is responsible for all business activities and oversight of the investment decisions made for the Funds.


  43

Notes to Financial Statements (unaudited) IVA Funds

In return for providing investment advisory services to the Funds, each Fund pays the Adviser an investment advisory fee, calculated daily and paid monthly, at an annual rate of 0.90% of each Fund’s average daily net assets. Investment advisory fees paid for the six months ended March 31, 2015 are disclosed in the Statements of Operations.

The Funds have adopted Distribution and Services Plans (“12b-1 Plans”), pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act. Under those 12b-1 Plans, the Funds pay a distribution fee with respect to Class A and C shares calculated at the annual rate of 0.25% and 0.75%, respectively, of the average daily net assets of each respective class. The Funds also pay a service fee with respect to Class C shares calculated at the annual rate of 0.25% of the average daily net assets. Class I shares do not participate in 12b-1 Plans. Fees paid under the 12b-1 Plans for the six months ended March 31, 2015 are disclosed in the Statements of Operations.

IVA Funds Distributors, LLC serves as the Funds’ sole and exclusive distributor.

There is a maximum initial sales charge of 5.00% for Class A shares. Class A shares may be subject to a contingent deferred sales charge (“CDSC”) of 0.75% if $1,000,000 or more of Class A shares were initially purchased, a “finder’s fee” was paid to the dealer of record, and the Class A shares were subsequently redeemed within 18 months.

Class C shares may be subject to a CDSC of 1.00% if shares are redeemed within the first 12 months after purchase.

Note 3 – Investments

For the six months ended March 31, 2015, the aggregate cost of purchases and proceeds from sales of investments (excluding short-term investments) were as follows:

Note 4 – Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities

The Funds enter into transactions involving derivative financial instruments in connection with their investing activities. During the six months ended March 31, 2015, these instruments included written put and call options and forward foreign currency contracts. These instruments are subject to various risks similar to non-derivative instruments including market, credit and liquidity risks.


44  

Notes to Financial Statements (unaudited) IVA Funds

The use of derivative instruments may involve risks different from, or potentially greater than, the risks associated with investing directly in investments. Specifically, derivative instruments expose a Fund to the risk that the counterparty to an OTC derivatives contract will be unable or unwilling to make timely settlement payments or otherwise to honor its obligations. OTC derivatives transactions typically can only be closed out with the other party to the transaction. If the counterparty defaults, a Fund will have contractual remedies, but there is no assurance that the counterparty will meet its contractual obligations or that, in the event of default, a Fund will succeed in enforcing them. During the six months ended March 31, 2015, the Funds had exposure to OTC derivatives in the form of forward foreign currency contracts.

Forward foreign currency contracts involve elements of market risk in excess of the amounts reflected in the Statements of Assets and Liabilities. The Funds bear the risk of an unfavorable change in the foreign exchange rate underlying the forward foreign currency contract, movements in foreign investment security values and changes in interest rates. Credit risks may also arise upon entering into these contracts from the potential inability of counterparties to meet the terms of their contracts.

Options transactions involve elements of market risk in excess of the amounts reflected in the Statements of Assets and Liabilities. Price fluctuation on underlying equity or debt securities and on market indices may cause the written put or call options to be assigned on unfavorable terms to the Funds. Written put options involve elements of liquidity risk if a Fund is unable to enter into a closing transaction due to there being a lack of market makers for a particular equity or debt security. Counterparty risk associated with pledged collateral to the executing counterparty is limited to the extent that the pledged collateral is held at the Funds’ custodian. Pledged cash collateral is subject to counterparty risk at the Funds’ custodian.

The following summary of derivative instruments and hedging activity for each Fund is grouped by risk-type and provides information about the fair value and location of derivatives within the Statements of Assets and Liabilities at March 31, 2015.

Notes to Financial Statements (unaudited) IVA Funds

During the six months ended March 31, 2015, the Worldwide Fund had average notional values of $1,248,883,349 and $21,129,241 on forward foreign currency contracts to sell and written options, respectively.

During the six months ended March 31, 2015, the International Fund had average notional values of $815,722,487 on open forward foreign currency contracts to sell.

The following tables present, by counterparty, gross amounts of derivatives eligible for offsetting, gross amounts offset in the Statements of Assets and Liabilities and related collateral received and/or pledged, if any, that the Funds have elected to offset under their legally enforceable Master Netting Agreement with such counterparty. A Master Netting Agreement is an agreement between the Fund and the counterparty that governs the terms of certain transactions and reduces the counterparty risk associated with relevant transactions by specifying offsetting mechanisms and collateral arrangements, if any. Offsetting mechanisms allow the Funds to pay or receive the net amount of all forward foreign currency contracts outstanding on a given settlement date. At March 31, 2015, the Funds elected to offset forward foreign currency contracts on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities.

Note 5 – Shares of Beneficial Interest

At March 31, 2015, the Trust had an unlimited number of shares of beneficial interest authorized with a par value of $0.001 per share. The Funds have the ability to issue multiple classes of shares. Each share of a class represents an identical interest and has the same rights, except that each class bears certain direct expenses specifically related to the distribution of its shares.

Redemption Fees. The Funds impose a redemption fee of 2% of the total redemption amount on the Funds’ shares redeemed within 30 days of buying them or acquiring them by exchange. The purpose of the redemption fee is to deter excessive, short-term trading and other abusive trading practices, and to help offset the costs associated with the sale of portfolio securities to satisfy redemption and exchange requests made by “market timers” and other short-term shareholders, thereby insulating longer-term shareholders from such costs.

Fund Expenses (unaudited) IVA Funds

As a shareholder of the Funds, you may incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including initial sales charges and/or redemption fees; and (2) ongoing costs, including investment advisory fees, distribution and/or service (12b-1) fees and other operating fund expenses. The information on this page is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs of investing in the Funds 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 on October 1, 2014 and held for the six months ended March 31, 2015.

ACTUAL EXPENSES

The table below titled “Based on Actual Total Return” provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information provided in this table, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. To estimate the expenses you paid on your account, divide your ending account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 ending account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number under the heading titled “Expenses Paid During the Period.”

BASED ON ACTUAL TOTAL RETURN FOR THE SIX MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 2015(a)
    Actual                   Annualized   Expenses
    Total   Beginning   Ending   Expense   Paid During
    Return   Account Value   Account Value   Ratio   the Period(b)
Worldwide Fund                                        
Class A     0.67 %   $ 1,000.00     $ 1,006.70       1.25 %   $ 6.25  
Class C     0.29 %     1,000.00       1,002.90       2.00 %     9.99  
Class I     0.82 %     1,000.00       1,008.20       1.00 %     5.01  
International Fund                                        
Class A     0.96 %   $ 1,000.00     $ 1,009.60       1.25 %   $ 6.26  
Class C     0.59 %     1,000.00       1,005.90       2.00 %     10.00  
Class I     1.06 %     1,000.00       1,010.60       1.00 %     5.01  

HYPOTHETICAL EXAMPLE FOR COMPARISON PURPOSES

The table below titled “Based on Hypothetical Total Return” provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which are not the Funds’ actual returns. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account values and expenses you paid for the period. You may use the information provided in this table to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Funds and other funds. To do so, compare the 5% hypothetical example relating to the Funds with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of other funds.

Please note that expenses shown in the table below are meant to highlight your ongoing costs and do not reflect any transactional costs, such as initial sales charges (loads) or redemption fees, if any. Therefore, the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only and will not help you determine your relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transactional costs were included, your costs would have been higher.
