Householding

Rule 30e-1 of the Investment Company Act of 1940 permits funds to transmit only one copy of a proxy statement, annual report or semi-annual report to shareholders (who need not be related) with the same residential, commercial or electronic address, provided that the shareholders have consented in writing and the reports are addressed either to each shareholder individually or to the shareholders as a group. This process is known as “householding” and is designed to reduce the duplicate copies of materials that shareholders receive and to lower printing and mailing costs for funds.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

1. Organization:

 

The Advisors’ Inner Circle Fund III (the “Trust”) is organized as a Delaware statutory trust under a Declaration of Trust dated December 4, 2013. The Trust is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”), as an open-end management investment company with 58 funds. The financial statements herein are those of the FS Multi-Strategy Alternatives Fund (“Multi-Strategy Alternatives”), the FS Managed Futures Fund (“Managed Futures”) and the FS Chiron Real Development Fund (“Real Development”) (each a “Fund” and collectively the “Funds”). Each Fund represents two classes of shares of beneficial interest of the Trust in a separate portfolio of securities and other assets with their own investment objective and policies. Multi-Strategy Alternatives seeks to provide shareholders with positive absolute returns over a complete market cycle. Managed Futures seeks to provide positive absolute returns with low correlation to traditional investments. Real Development seeks to provide total returns consisting of capital appreciation and income. Each Fund is classified as a non-diversified, open-end management investment company registered under the 1940 Act. The financial statements of the remaining funds of the Trust are presented separately. The assets of each fund are segregated, and a shareholder’s interest is limited to the fund in which shares are held. Multi-Strategy Alternatives commenced investment operations on May 16, 2017. Managed Futures and Real Development commenced investment operations on December 31, 2018 and had no activity other than investing their cash in a money market fund.

 

As of June 30, 2024, Multi-Strategy Alternatives had one wholly-owned subsidiary, FS Alternatives Fund (Cayman), Managed Futures had one wholly-owned subsidiary, FS Managed Futures Fund (Cayman), and Real Development had one wholly-owned subsidiary FS Chiron Real Development Fund (Cayman) (collectively, the “Subsidiaries”), through which each of the Funds may gain exposure to commodities. The audited consolidated financial statements include both the Funds’ accounts and the accounts of the Subsidiaries. All intercompany balances have been eliminated in consolidation.

 

2. Significant Accounting Policies:

 

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”) and are presented in U.S. dollars which is the functional currency of the Funds. The Funds are investment companies and therefore applies the accounting and reporting guidance issued by the U.S. Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) in Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 946, Financial Services — Investment Companies. The following are significant accounting policies which are consistently followed in the preparation of the financial statements.

 

Use of Estimates —The preparation of financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the fair value of assets and

 

101

 

THE ADVISORS’ INNER CIRCLE FUND III

FS INVESTMENTS

JUNE 30, 2024

(Unaudited)

 

 

liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates and such differences could be material.

 

Security Valuation — Securities listed on a securities exchange, market or automated quotation system for which quotations are readily available (except for securities traded on NASDAQ), including securities traded over the counter, are valued at the last quoted sale price on an exchange or market (foreign or domestic) on which they are traded on valuation date (or at approximately 4:00 pm Eastern Standard Time if a security’s primary exchange is normally open at that time), or, if there is no such reported sale on the valuation date, at the most independent, third-party pricing agents. Such values generally reflect the last reported sales price if the security is actively traded. The third-party pricing agents may also value debt securities at an evaluated bid price by employing methodologies that utilize actual market transactions, broker-supplied valuations, or other methodologies designed to identify the market value for such securities. Such methodologies generally consider such factors as security prices, yields, maturities, call features, ratings and developments relating to specific securities in arriving at valuations. On the first day a new debt security purchase is recorded, if a price is not available on the automated pricing feeds from our primary and secondary pricing vendors nor is it available from an independent broker, the security may be valued at its purchase price. Each day thereafter, the debt security will be valued according to the Trust’s Fair Value Procedures until an independent source can be secured. Debt obligations with remaining maturities of sixty days or less may be valued at their amortized cost, which approximates market value provided that it is determined the amortized cost continues to approximate fair value. Should existing credit, liquidity or interest rate conditions in the relevant markets and issuer specific circumstances suggest that amortized cost does not approximate fair value, then the amortized cost method may not be used. The prices for foreign securities are reported in local currency and converted to U.S. dollars using currency exchange rates.

 

Securities for which market prices are not “readily available” are valued in accordance with fair value procedures (the "Fair Value Procedures") established by the Adviser and approved by the Trust's Board of Trustees (the “Board”). Pursuant to Rule 2a-5 under the 1940 Act, the Board has designated the Adviser as the "valuation designee" to determine the fair value of securities and other instruments for which no readily available market quotations are available. The Fair Value Procedures are implemented through a Fair Value Committee (the “Committee”) of the Adviser.

 

Options for which the primary market is a national securities exchange are valued at the last bid price on the exchange on which they are traded, or, in the absence of any sale, at the closing bid price for long positions and at the

 

102

 

THE ADVISORS’ INNER CIRCLE FUND III

FS INVESTMENTS

JUNE 30, 2024

(Unaudited)

 

 

closing ask price for written options. Options not traded on a national securities exchange are valued at the last quoted bid price.

 

Swaps are marked-to-market daily based upon quotations from market makers and the resulting changes in market values, are recorded as an unrealized gain or loss in the Consolidated Statements of Operations.

 

Futures contracts that are traded on an exchange are valued at their last reported sales price as of the valuation date.

 

For securities that principally trade on a foreign market or exchange, a significant gap in time can exist between the time of a particular security’s last trade and the time at which the Funds calculate their net asset value. The closing prices of such securities may no longer reflect their market value at the time the Funds calculate their net asset value if an event that could materially affect the value of those securities (a “Significant Event”) has occurred between the time of the security’s last close and the time that the Fund calculates net asset value. A Significant Event may relate to a single issuer or to an entire market sector. If FS Fund Advisor, LLC (the “Adviser”) becomes aware of a Significant Event that has occurred with respect to a security or group of securities after the closing of the exchange or market on which the security or securities principally trade, but before the time at which the Fund calculates its net asset value, it may request that a Committee meeting be called.

 

If a local market in which the Funds own securities is closed for one or more days, the Funds shall value all securities held in that corresponding currency based on the fair value prices determined by the Committee.

 

In accordance with the authoritative guidance on fair value measurements and disclosure under U.S. GAAP, the Funds disclose fair value of its investments in a hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure the fair value. The objective of a fair value measurement is to determine the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date (an exit price). Accordingly, the fair value hierarchy gives the highest priority to quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3). The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are described below:

 

 

Level 1 — Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical, unrestricted assets or liabilities that the Funds have the ability to access at the measurement date;

 

 

Level 2 – Other significant observable inputs (includes quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, referenced indices, quoted prices in inactive markets, adjusted quoted prices in active

 

103

 

THE ADVISORS’ INNER CIRCLE FUND III

FS INVESTMENTS

JUNE 30, 2024

(Unaudited)

 

 
 

markets, adjusted quoted prices on foreign equity securities that were adjusted in accordance with the Adviser’s pricing procedures, etc.); and

 

 

Level 3 — Prices, inputs or exotic modeling techniques which are both significant to the fair value measurement and unobservable (supported by little or no market activity).

 

Investments are classified within the level of the lowest significant input considered in determining fair value. Investments classified within Level 3 whose fair value measurement considers several inputs may include Level 1 or Level 2 inputs as components of the overall fair value measurement.

 

For the six months ended June 30, 2024, there have been no significant changes to the Funds’ fair valuation methodology.

 

Federal Income Taxes It is each Fund’s intention to continue to qualify as a regulated investment company for Federal income tax purposes by complying with the appropriate provisions of Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended. Accordingly, no provisions for Federal income taxes have been made in the financial statements.

 

The Funds evaluate tax positions taken or expected to be taken in the course of preparing the Funds’ tax returns to determine whether it is “more-likely-than-not” (i.e., greater than 50-percent) that each tax position will be sustained upon examination by a taxing authority based on the technical merits of the position. Tax positions deemed to meet the more-likely-than-not threshold are recorded as a tax benefit or expense in the current period. The Funds did not record any tax provision in the current period. However, management’s conclusions regarding tax positions taken may be subject to review and adjustment at a later date based on factors including, but not limited to, examination by tax authorities (i.e., from commencement of operations, as applicable), on-going analysis of and changes to tax laws, regulations and interpretations thereof.

 

As of and during the six months ended June 30, 2024, the Funds did not have any unrecognized tax benefits or liabilities. The Funds recognize interest and penalties, if any, related to unrecognized tax benefits as income tax expense in the Consolidated Statements of Operations. During the six months ended June 30, 2024, the Funds did not incur any interest or penalties.

 

Withholding taxes on foreign dividends have been provided for in accordance with the Funds’ understanding of the applicable country’s tax rules and rates. The Funds or their agent files withholding tax reclaims in certain jurisdictions to recover certain amounts previously withheld. The Funds may record a reclaim receivable based on collectability, which includes factors such as the jurisdiction’s applicable laws, payment history and market convention. Professional fees paid to those that provide assistance in receiving the tax reclaims, which generally are contingent upon successful receipt of reclaimed amounts, are recorded

 

104

 

THE ADVISORS’ INNER CIRCLE FUND III

FS INVESTMENTS

JUNE 30, 2024

(Unaudited)

 

 

in Professional Fees on the Consolidated Statements of Operations once the amounts are due. The professional fees related to pursuing these tax reclaims are not subject to the Adviser’s expense limitation agreement.

 

Security Transactions and Investment IncomeSecurity transactions are accounted for on trade date. Costs used in determining realized gains and losses on the sale of investment securities are based on the specific identification method. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date, interest income is recognized on the accrual basis from settlement date and includes the amortization of premiums and the accretion of discount. Discounts and premiums on securities purchased are accreted and amortized using the scientific interest method, which approximates the effective interest method. Certain dividends from foreign securities will be recorded as soon as the Fund is informed of the dividend if such information is obtained subsequent to the ex-dividend date. Realized gains (losses) on paydowns of mortgage-backed and asset-backed securities are recorded as an adjustment to interest income.

 

Foreign Currency TranslationThe books and records of the Funds are maintained in U.S. dollars. Investment securities and other assets and liabilities denominated in a foreign currency are translated into U.S. dollars on the date of valuation. The Funds do not isolate that portion of realized or unrealized gains and losses resulting from changes in the foreign exchange rate from fluctuations arising from changes in the market prices of the securities. These gains and losses are included in net realized and unrealized gains and losses on investments on the Consolidated Statements of Operations. Net realized and unrealized gains and losses on foreign currency transactions represent net foreign exchange gains or losses from foreign currency exchange contracts, disposition of foreign currencies, currency gains or losses realized between trade and settlement dates on securities transactions and the difference between the amount of the investment income and foreign withholding taxes recorded on the Funds’ books and the U.S. dollar equivalent of the amounts actually received or paid.

 

Forward Foreign Currency Exchange Contracts — The Funds may enter into forward foreign currency exchange contracts to protect the value of securities held and related receivables and payables against changes in future foreign exchange rates. A forward currency contract is an agreement between two parties to buy and sell currency at a set price on a future date. The market value of the contract will fluctuate with changes in currency exchange rates. The contract is marked-to-market daily using the current forward rate and the change in market value is recorded by the Funds as unrealized gain or loss. The Funds recognize realized gains or losses when the contract is closed, equal to the difference between the value of the contract at the time it was opened and the value at the time it was closed. Any realized or unrealized appreciation (depreciation) during the period is presented on the Consolidated Statements of Operations. Risks may arise from unanticipated movements in the value of a foreign currency relative to

 

105

 

THE ADVISORS’ INNER CIRCLE FUND III

FS INVESTMENTS

JUNE 30, 2024

(Unaudited)

 

 

the U.S. dollar. Risks may also arise upon entering into these contracts from the potential inability of counterparties to meet the terms of their contracts and are generally limited to the amount of unrealized gain on the contracts at the date of default. Refer to the Multi-Strategy Alternatives Schedule of Investments for details regarding open forward foreign currency contracts as of June 30, 2024. There were no forward foreign currency contracts held by Managed Futures and Real Development as of June 30, 2024.

 

Futures Contracts — The Funds utilized futures contracts during the six months ended June 30, 2024. To the extent consistent with its investment objective and strategies, the Funds may use futures contracts for tactical hedging purposes as well as to enhance the Funds’ returns. Initial margin deposits of cash or securities are made upon entering into futures contracts. Futures are collateralized by cash deposits with Bank of America, Goldman Sachs and Deutsche Bank. Futures contracts are valued at the settlement price established each day by the board of exchange on which they are traded. The futures contracts may be marked-to-market daily and the resulting changes in value are accounted for as unrealized gains and losses. Variation margin payments are paid or received, depending upon whether unrealized gains or losses are incurred. When the futures contract is closed, the Fund records a realized gain or loss equal to the difference between the proceeds from (or cost of) the closing transaction and the amount invested in the futures contract.

 

Risks of entering into futures contracts include the possibility that there will be an imperfect price correlation between the futures and the underlying securities. Second, it is possible that a lack of liquidity for futures contracts could exist in the secondary market, resulting in an inability to close a position prior to its maturity date. Third, the futures contract involves the risk that a Fund could lose more than the original margin deposit required to initiate a futures transaction.

 

Finally, the risk exists that losses could exceed amounts disclosed on the Consolidated Statements of Assets and Liabilities.

 

Swap Contracts — The Funds are authorized to enter into swap contracts, including total return swaps, interest rate swaps, equity swap contracts and credit default swaps. To the extent consistent with its investment objective and strategies, the Funds use swap contracts for tactical hedging purposes as well as to enhance the Funds’ returns. Swaps are a two-party contract in which the seller (buyer) will pay to the buyer (seller) the difference between the current value of a security and its value at the time the contract was entered.

 

In a typical equity swap, one party agrees to pay another party the return on a stock, stock index or basket of stocks in return for a specified interest rate. By entering into an equity index swap, for example, the index receiver can gain exposure to stocks making up the index of securities without actually purchasing those stocks. Equity index swaps involve not only the risk associated with

 

106

 

THE ADVISORS’ INNER CIRCLE FUND III

FS INVESTMENTS

JUNE 30, 2024

(Unaudited)

 

 

investment in the securities represented in the index, but also the risk that the performance of such securities, including dividends, will not exceed the return on the interest rate that the Fund will be committed to pay.

 

Interest rate swaps involve the exchange by a Fund with another party of their respective commitments to pay or receive interest (e.g., an exchange of floating rate payments for fixed rate payments) with respect to a notional amount of principal to manage a Fund’s exposure to interest rates. Payments received or made are recorded as realized gains or loss. As of June 30, 2024, Multi-Strategies Alternatives has entered into interest rate swap contracts as shown on the Consolidated Schedules of Investments.

 

Total return swaps are contracts in which one party agrees to make payments of the total return from a reference instrument—which may be a single asset, a pool of assets or an index of assets—during a specified period, in return for payments equal to a fixed or floating rate of interest or the total return from another underlying reference instrument. The total return includes appreciation or depreciation on the underlying asset, plus any interest or dividend payments. 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).

 

Periodic payments made or received are recorded as realized gains or losses. At year end, the Consolidated Statements of Assets and Liabilities reflect, if any, unrealized appreciation or depreciation and accrued periodic payments for swap contracts the Fund may have open at year end. Entering into swap contracts involve, to varying degrees, elements of credit, interest rate and market risk in excess of the amounts recognized on the Consolidated Statements of Assets and Liabilities. Such risks involve the possibility that there will be no liquid market for these contracts, that the counterparty to the contract may default on its obligation to perform and that there may be unfavorable changes in market conditions or fluctuations in interest rates. Swap contracts outstanding at period end, if any, are listed on the Consolidated Schedules of Investments. In connection with swap contracts, cash or securities may be segregated as collateral by the Funds’ custodian. As of June 30, 2024, the Funds have entered into total return swap contracts as shown on the Consolidated Schedules of Investments.

 

107

 

THE ADVISORS’ INNER CIRCLE FUND III

FS INVESTMENTS

JUNE 30, 2024

(Unaudited)

 

 

There is the risk that the counterparty refuses to continue to enter into swap agreements with the Funds in the future, or requires increased fees, which could impair the Funds’ ability to achieve its investment objective. A counterparty may also increase its collateral requirements, which may limit the Funds’ ability to use leverage and reduce investment returns. In addition, if the Funds cannot locate a counterparty willing to enter into transactions with the Funds, it will not be able to implement its investment strategy.

 

Centrally cleared swaps are valued at the settlement price established each day by the board of exchange on which they are traded. The daily settlement prices for centrally cleared swaps are provided by an independent source. Net payments of interest are recorded as realized gains or losses. Upfront premiums are recorded as realized gains or losses on the Consolidated Statements of Operations upon termination or maturity of the swap. A liquidation payment received or made at the termination of the swap is recorded as realized gain or loss on the Consolidated Statements of Operations. Net periodic payments received or paid by a Fund are included as part of realized gains or losses on the Consolidated Statements of Operations. Daily changes in valuation of Centrally Cleared swaps are recorded as a receivable or payable for the change in value as appropriate (“variation margin”) on the Consolidated Statements of Assets and Liabilities.

 

Options Written/Purchased — The Funds may purchase and write put and call options on indices and enter into related closing transactions. To the extent consistent with its investment objective and strategies, the Funds use options for tactical hedging purposes as well as to enhance the Funds’ returns. Additionally, the Funds use options to create long or short equity exposure without investing directly in equity securities. A put option on a security gives the purchaser of the option the right to sell, and the writer of the option the obligation to buy, the underlying security at any time during the option period for American options and only at the expiration date for European options. A call option on a security gives the purchaser of the option the right to buy, and the writer of the option the obligation to sell, the underlying security at any time during the option period for American options and only at the expiration date for European options. The premium paid to the writer is the consideration for undertaking the obligations under the option contract. The market value of an option generally reflects the market price of an underlying security. Other principal factors affecting market value include supply and demand, interest rates, the pricing volatility of the underlying security and the time remaining until the expiration date. Premiums received or paid from writing or purchasing options which expire unexercised are treated by the Funds on the expiration date as realized gains or losses. The difference between the premium and the amount paid or received on effecting a closing purchase or sale transaction, including brokerage commissions, is also treated as a realized gain or loss. If an option is exercised, the premium paid

or received is added to the cost of the purchase or proceeds from the sale in determining whether a Funds has realized a gain or a loss. Any realized or unrealized gains (loss) during the period are presented on the Consolidated Statements of Operations. Risks associated with options transactions include: (i) the success of a hedging strategy may depend on an ability to predict movements in the prices of individual securities, fluctuations in markets and movements in interest rates; (ii) there may be an imperfect correlation between the movement in prices of options and the securities underlying them; (iii) there may not be a liquid secondary market for options; and (iv) while a Fund will receive a premium when it writes covered call options, it may not participate fully in a rise in the market value of the underlying security.

 

The Multi-Strategy Alternatives held written/purchased options contracts as of and during the six months ended June 30, 2024.

 

The Managed Futures and Real Development did not hold any written/purchased options contracts as of and during the six months ended June 30, 2024.

 

Mortgage-Backed To-Be-Announced Securities — The Fund may enter into mortgage-backed to-be-announced securities (“TBAs”). These financial instruments are subject to varying degrees of market and credit risk. TBAs provide for the delayed delivery of the underlying instrument. The contractual or notional amounts related to these financial instruments adjusted for unrealized market valuation gains or losses are recorded on a trade date basis. The credit risk related to settlements is limited to the unrealized market valuation gains or losses recorded in the Consolidated Statement of Operations. Market risk is substantially dependent upon the value of the underlying financial instruments and is affected by market forces such as volatility and changes in interest rates.

 

Classes — Class specific expenses, such as distribution fees, are borne by that class of shares. Income, realized and unrealized gains/losses and non-class specific expenses are allocated to the respective class on the basis of relative net assets.

 

Cash — Idle cash may be swept into various time deposit accounts and is classified as cash on the Consolidated Statements of Assets and Liabilities. The Funds maintain cash in bank deposit accounts which, at times, may exceed United States federally insured limits. Amounts invested are available on the same business day.

 

Expenses — Most expenses of the Trust can be directly attributed to a particular fund. Expenses which cannot be directly attributed to a particular fund are apportioned among the funds of the Trust based on the number of funds and/or relative net assets.

Dividends and Distributions to Shareholders — Each Fund intends to distribute substantially all of its net investment income and net realized capital gains, if any, annually. All distributions are recorded on ex-dividend date.

 

3. Credit Derivatives:

 

The Funds may use credit default swaps to reduce risk where the Funds have exposure to the issuer, or to take an active long or short position with respect to the likelihood of an event of default. The reference obligation of the swap can be a single issuer, a “basket” of issuers, or an index.

 

The buyer of a credit default swap is generally obligated to pay the seller a periodic stream of payments over the term of the contract in return for a contingent payment upon the occurrence of a credit event with respect to an underlying reference obligation. Generally, a credit event for corporate or sovereign reference obligations means bankruptcy, failure to pay, obligation acceleration, repudiation/moratorium or restructuring. For credit default swaps on asset-backed securities, a credit event may be triggered by events such as failure to pay principal, maturity extension, rating downgrade or write-down.

 

If the Fund is a seller of protection, and a credit event occurs, as defined under the terms of that particular swap agreement, the Fund will generally either (i) pay to the buyer an amount equal to the notional amount of the swap and take delivery of the referenced obligation, other deliverable obligations, or underlying securities comprising a referenced index or (ii) pay a net settlement amount in the form of cash or securities equal to the notional amount of the swap less the recovery value of the referenced obligation or underlying securities comprising a referenced index.

 

If the Fund is a buyer of protection and a credit event occurs, as defined under the terms of that particular swap agreement, the Fund will either (i) receive from the seller of protection an amount equal to the notional amount of the swap and deliver the referenced obligation, other deliverable obligations or underlying securities comprising the referenced index or (ii) receive a net settlement amount in the form of cash or securities equal to the notional amount of the swap less the recovery value of the referenced obligation or underlying securities comprising the referenced index.

 

Recovery values are assumed by market makers considering either industry standard recovery rates or entity specific factors and considerations until a credit event occurs. If a credit event has occurred, the recovery value is determined by a facilitated auction whereby a minimum number of allowable broker bids, together with a specified valuation method, are used to calculate the settlement value.

5. Offsetting Assets and Liabilities:

 

Each Fund is subject to various netting arrangements with select counterparties (“Master Agreements”). Master Agreements govern the terms of certain transactions, and reduce the counterparty risk associated with relevant transactions by specifying credit protection mechanisms and providing standardization that improves legal certainty.

 

Since different types of transactions have different mechanics and are sometimes traded out of different legal entities of a particular counterparty organization, each type of transaction may be covered by a different Master Agreement, resulting in the need for multiple agreements with a single counterparty. As the Master Agreements are specific to unique operations of different asset types, they allow a Fund to close out and net its total exposure to a specific counterparty entity in the event of a default with respect to all the transactions governed under a single agreement with a specific counterparty entity.

 

Master Agreements can also help limit counterparty risk by specifying collateral posting arrangements at pre-arranged exposure levels. Under the Master Agreements, collateral is routinely transferred if the total net exposure to certain transactions (net of existing collateral already in place) governed under the relevant Master Agreement with a counterparty in a given account exceeds a specified threshold, which typically ranges from zero to $250,000 depending on the counterparty and the type of Master Agreement. United States Treasury Securities and U.S. dollar cash are generally the

 

115

 

THE ADVISORS’ INNER CIRCLE FUND III

FS INVESTMENTS

preferred forms of collateral. Securities and cash pledged as collateral are reflected as assets on the Consolidated Statements of Assets and Liabilities as either a component of investments at value (securities) or cash pledged as collateral for futures contracts and swap contracts (cash). The market value of any securities received as collateral is not reflected as a component of net asset value. A Fund’s overall exposure to counterparty risk can change substantially within a short period, as it is affected by each transaction subject to the relevant Master Agreement.

 

International Swaps and Derivatives Association, Inc. Master Agreements and Credit Support Annexes (“ISDA Master Agreements”) govern OTC financial derivative transactions entered into by a Fund and select counterparties. ISDA Master Agreements maintain provisions for general obligations, representations, agreements, collateral and events of default or termination. Events of termination include conditions that may entitle counterparties to elect to terminate early and cause settlement of all outstanding transactions under the applicable ISDA Master Agreement. Any election to terminate early could be material to the financial statements. In limited circumstances, the ISDA Master Agreement may contain additional provisions that add additional counterparty protection beyond coverage of existing daily exposure if the counterparty has a decline in credit quality below a predefined level. These amounts, if any, may be segregated with a third party custodian.

 

The following is a summary by counterparty of the value of over the counter (“OTC”) financial derivative instruments and collateral (received)/pledged by counterparty of the Funds as of June 30, 2024 ($ Thousands):

SS&C Global Investor & Distribution Solutions, Inc. serves as the transfer agent and dividend disbursing agent for the Funds under a transfer agency agreement with the Trust.

 

Pursuant to the Amended and Restated Distribution and Service Plan, each Fund’s Class A Shares bear 12b-1 fees at an annual rate of 0.25% of the average daily net assets of such Fund attributable to Class A Shares. Payments of the 12b-1 fee may be made without regard to expenses actually incurred. The Funds Class I shares are not subject to 12b-1 fees.

 

8. Investment Advisory Agreement, Co-Investment Management Agreement, and Investment Sub-Advisory Agreements:

 

Under the terms of an investment advisory agreement, the Adviser provides investment advisory services to the Funds. The Adviser is entitled to a fee, which is calculated daily and paid monthly, at the following annual rates based on average daily net assets of each Fund:

Multi-Strategy Alternatives

    1.25 %

Managed Futures

    1.15 %

Real Development

    0.95 %

 

               

 

The Adviser has contractually agreed to reduce fees and/or reimburse expenses to the extent necessary to keep total annual Fund operating expenses (excluding interest, taxes, brokerage commissions, acquired fund fees and expenses, and extraordinary expenses (collectively, “excluded expenses”)) from exceeding 0.25% of each Fund’s average daily net assets until April 30, 2025. Refer to waiver of investment advisory fees and reimbursement from Adviser on the Consolidated Statement of Operations for fees waived for the six months ended June 30, 2024. The Adviser may recover all or a portion of its fee reductions or expense limitations within a three-year period from the year in which it reduced its fee or reimbursed expenses if each Fund’s total annual Fund operating expenses are below the expense limitation. This agreement may be terminated: (i) by the Board for any reason at any time, or (ii) by the Adviser, upon ninety (90) days prior written notice to the Trust, effective as of the close of business on April 30, 2025.

 

If at any point total annual Fund operating expenses (not including excluded expenses) are below the levels as set forth above, the Adviser may receive from the Fund the difference between the total annual Fund operating expenses (not including excluded expenses) and the levels set forth above to recover all or a portion of its prior fee reductions or expense reimbursements made during the preceding three-year period up to the expense cap in place at the time the expenses were waived, during which this agreement was in place.

 

For the six months ended June 30, 2024, the Adviser recaptured previously waived fees of ($ Thousands) $537 for the Multi-Strategy Alternatives Fund.

Chiron Investment Management, LLC (“Chiron”) serves as investment co-adviser to Real Development. As compensation for its co-advisory services to the Fund, FS Fund Advisor, LLC pays Chiron a co-advisory fee that is accrued daily and payable quarterly. The co-advisory fee is calculated at an annual rate of 0.475% of the average daily net assets of the portion of the Fund allocated to Chiron.

 

Multi-Strategy Alternative seeks to achieve its investment objective through a multi-manager approach by which the Adviser allocates the assets of such Fund among a number of Underlying Managers and Alternative Beta Providers that employ a variety of alternative investment strategies. The Underlying Managers each serve as sub-advisers to Multi-Strategy Alternative. The Alternative Beta Providers provide Multi-Strategy Alternative with exposure to Alternative Investment Strategies but are not sub-advisers to Multi-Strategy Alternative.

 

The Adviser engages the following entities as Underlying Managers to provide investment management services to Multi-Strategy Alternatives: MidOcean Credit Fund Management, L.P., Mariner Investment Group LLC, Electron Capital Partners, LLC and Waterfall Asset Management, LLC.

10. Federal Tax Information:

 

The amount and character of income and capital gain distributions to be paid, if any, are determined in accordance with Federal income tax regulations, which may differ from U.S. GAAP. As a result, net investment income (loss) and net realized gain (loss) on investment transactions for a reporting period may differ significantly from distributions during such period. These book/tax differences may be temporary or permanent. To the extent these differences are permanent in nature, they are charged or credited to Distributable Earnings/(Loss) and Paid-in Capital, as appropriate, in the period that the differences arise.

 

The tax character of distributions declared during the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022, were as follows ($ Thousands):

11. Concentration of Risks:

 

Unless otherwise specified, references below to investments by a Fund refer to direct investments made or held by a Fund and/or indirect investments to which a Fund may have exposure through an Alternative Beta Strategy (i.e., a strategy that offers a Fund exposure to the “beta” portion -- or market-related portion -- of the returns of particular investment strategies).

 

Derivatives Risk (All Funds) The Fund may invest in Financial Instruments, including swap agreements, futures contracts, forwards and other derivative instruments, that may involve risks different from, or greater than, those associated with more traditional investments. Due to leverage, small changes in the value of the Financial Instruments’ reference assets, rates, or indexes may produce disproportionate losses to the Fund. The value of Financial Instruments may not move as expected relative to the value of the reference assets, rates or indexes. Financial Instruments used for hedging purposes may not hedge risks as expected, and Financial Instruments used for non-hedging purposes may not provide the anticipated investment exposure. Financial Instruments may be highly illiquid, and the Fund may not be able to close out or sell a Financial Instrument position at a particular time or at an anticipated price. Various legislative and regulatory initiatives may impact the availability, liquidity and cost of derivatives. Financial Instruments also may be subject to interest rate risk, currency risk and counterparty risk.

Equity Risk (Real Development Fund) — The prices of equity securities in which the Fund holds long and short positions may rise and fall daily. A variety of factors can negatively impact the value of equity securities, including factors affecting individual companies, industries, securities markets or economies.

 

Market Risk (All Funds) — Investments in securities, in general, are subject to market risks, including increased volatility, illiquidity, or other potentially adverse effects in response to changing market conditions, inflation, changes in interest rates, market disruptions caused by local or regional events such as war, acts of terrorism, the spread of infectious illness (including epidemics and pandemics) or other public health issues, recessions or other events or adverse investor sentiment that may cause their prices to fluctuate over time. An investment in the Fund may lose money.

 

Interest Rate Risk (Multi-Strategy Alternatives Fund and Managed Futures Funds) — Interest rate risk is the risk that prices of fixed income securities generally increase when interest rates decline and decrease when interest rates increase. The Fund may lose money if short-term or long-term interest rates rise sharply or otherwise change in a manner not anticipated by the Adviser or Wilshire. Changing interest rates may have unpredictable effects on the markets and may affect the value and liquidity of instruments held by the Fund.

 

Credit/Default Risk (Multi-Strategy Alternatives Fund) — An issuer or guarantor of fixed income securities or instruments held by the Fund may default on its obligation to pay interest and principal when due or default on any other obligation, which may impair the liquidity and value of the Fund’s investment. In addition, the Fund may incur expenses in an effort to protect the Fund’s interests or enforce its rights against an issuer, guarantor or counterparty or may be hindered or delayed in exercising these rights.

 

Foreign Investments and Emerging Markets Risk (All Funds) — The Fund may invest in the securities of non-U.S. issuers, including those located in developing countries, which securities involve risks beyond those associated with investments in U.S. securities. These risks may relate to foreign political, social and economic matters, less developed markets, political immobility and less developed legal and accounting practices.

 

Multi-Manager and Allocation Risk (All Funds) — The success of the Fund’s investment strategy depends on, among other things, the Adviser’s ability, based on recommendations from Wilshire, to select Underlying Managers, Alternative Beta Providers and Alternative Investment Strategies to implement the Fund’s investment objective and the Adviser’s success in allocating assets, based on recommendations from Wilshire, to those Underlying Managers and Alternative Beta Providers. The Fund’s Underlying Managers and/or Alternative Beta Strategies may underperform the market generally or underperform other investment managers that could have been selected for the Fund. In addition, some Underlying Managers may have little or no experience managing assets for an open-end fund, which is different from

 

122

 

THE ADVISORS’ INNER CIRCLE FUND III

FS INVESTMENTS

JUNE 30, 2024

(Unaudited)

 

 

the hedge funds and similar vehicles with which most Underlying Managers have expertise. Mutual funds, unlike hedge funds (with which the Underlying Managers are experienced), are subject to daily inflows and outflows of securities and cash and are subject to certain legal and tax-related restrictions on their investments and operations, including, for example, restrictions on illiquid investments and leverage. Accordingly, an Underlying Manager may not be able to achieve the level of returns for the Fund that the Underlying Manager would be able to achieve if it were managing the same strategy in a hedge fund or similar investment vehicle.

 

Loans and Other Direct Indebtedness Risk (All Funds) — Investments in loans (through both assignments and participations) are generally subject to the same risks as investments in other types of debt instruments, including, in many cases, investments in high yield bonds. There may be limited public information available regarding loans and loans may be difficult to value. If the Fund holds a loan through another financial institution, or relies on a financial institution to administer the loan, its receipt of principal and interest on the loan may be subject to the credit risk of that financial institution. It is possible that collateral securing a loan, if any, may be insufficient or unavailable to the Fund, and that the Fund’s rights to collateral may be limited by bankruptcy or insolvency laws. In addition, the secondary market for loans may be subject to irregular trading activity and wide bid/ask spreads, which may cause the Fund to be unable to realize the full value of its investment in a loan. Loans may have extended settlement periods that exceed seven days and, accordingly, may be considered illiquid. Purchases and sales of loans in the secondary market generally are subject to contractual restrictions that may delay the Fund’s ability to make timely redemptions.

 

Loans may not be considered “securities,” and purchasers, such as the Fund, therefore may not be entitled to rely on the anti-fraud protections of the federal securities laws.

 

Non-Investment Grade Fixed Income Securities Risk (All Funds) — Non-investment grade fixed income securities and unrated securities of comparable credit quality (commonly known as “junk bonds”) are considered speculative and are subject to the increased risk of an issuer’s inability to meet principal and interest payment obligations, increased risk of price volatility, increased risk of illiquidity and other risks.

 

Commodities Risk (All Funds) — To the extent that the Fund gains exposure to the commodities markets, such exposure may subject the Fund to greater volatility than investments in traditional securities. The value of commodity-linked investments may be affected by changes in overall market movements, commodity index volatility, changes in interest rates, or sectors affecting a particular industry or commodity, such as drought, floods, weather, embargoes, tariffs and international economic, political and regulatory developments. The prices of certain commodities may fluctuate widely due to factors such as changes in value, supply and demand and governmental regulatory policies. Some commodity-linked investments are issued by companies in

 

123

 

THE ADVISORS’ INNER CIRCLE FUND III

FS INVESTMENTS

JUNE 30, 2024

(Unaudited)

 

 

the financial services sector, including the banking, brokerage and insurance sectors. As a result, events affecting issuers in the financial services sector may cause the Fund’s share value to fluctuate.

 

Currency Risk (All Funds) — The Fund’s returns may be adversely impacted by changes in currency exchange rates.

 

Structured Products and Structured Notes Risk (All Funds) — A structured product may decline in value due to changes in the underlying instruments on which the product is based. The cash flow or rate of return on the underlying investments may be apportioned among the newly issued securities to create different investment characteristics, such as varying maturities, credit quality, payment priorities and interest rate provisions. The cash flow or rate of return on a structured investment may be determined by applying a multiplier to the rate of total return on the underlying investments or referenced indicator. Application of a multiplier is comparable to the use of financial leverage, a speculative technique.

 

Holders of structured products indirectly bear risks associated with the underlying investments, index or reference obligation, and are subject to counterparty risk. Structured products are generally privately offered and sold, and thus, are not registered under the securities laws. Certain structured products may be thinly traded or have a limited trading market and may have the effect of increasing the Fund’s illiquidity to the extent that the Fund, at a particular point in time, may be unable to find qualified buyers for these securities. Structured notes are derivative securities for which the amount of principal repayment and/or interest payments is based on the movement of one or more “factors.” Investments in structured notes involve risks including interest rate risk, credit risk and market risk. Where the Fund’s investments in structured notes are based upon the movement of one or more factors, depending on the factor used and the use of multipliers or deflators, changes in interest rates and movement of the factor may cause significant price fluctuations.

 

Fixed Income Risk (Multi-Strategy Alternatives Fund and Real Development Fund) — The price of fixed-income securities responds to economic developments, particularly interest rate changes, as well as to perceptions about the credit risk of individual issuers. Rising interest rates generally will cause the price of bonds and other fixed-income debt securities to fall. Falling interest rates may cause an issuer to redeem, call or refinance a security before its stated maturity, which may result in the Fund having to reinvest the proceeds in lower yielding securities. Bonds and other fixed-income debt securities are subject to credit risk, which is the possibility that the credit strength of an issuer will weaken and/or an issuer of a fixed-income security will fail to make timely payments of principal or interest and the security will go into default. Loans and other direct indebtedness involve the risk that the Fund will not receive payment of principal, interest and other amounts due in connection with these investments, which depend primarily on the financial condition of the borrower.

Mortgage-Backed and Other Asset-Backed Securities Risk (Multi-Strategy Alternatives Fund) — MBS and other ABS are subject to Credit/Default Risk, Interest Rate Risk, and Prepayment Risk, which are discussed elsewhere in this “Principal Risks” section, as well as the risk of declining values of underlying collateral assets. Small movements in interest rates may dramatically affect the value of certain mortgage- and asset-backed securities. The following provides additional information on certain of these and other risks associated with investments in MBS and ABS.

 

General MBS Risk. MBS may experience significantly greater price and yield volatility than traditional debt securities. In some cases, price and yield volatility in MBS can be substantial, including the potential for a complete loss of expected future cashflow based on the prepayment behavior of underlying borrowers. The price and yield sensitivity of IO and principal-only securities may be much greater than that of the underlying pass-through security with respect to unanticipated changes in prepayments, interest rates and other factors.

 

Prepayment rates for underlying borrowers are a key determinant of the cash flow behavior of MBS generally, and for IO bonds in particular, and are influenced by changes in current interest rates and a variety of other factors including but not limited to economic, geographic, social, and other factors, which cannot be predicted with certainty. Both adjustable-rate mortgage loans and fixed rate mortgage loans may be subject to a greater rate of principal prepayments in a declining interest rate environment and to a lower rate of principal prepayments in an increasing interest rate environment. Changes in prepayment behavior of underlying borrowers is often to the detriment of MBS. Prepayment volatility is an important risk factor for holders of MBS, and may materially impact the performance of the Fund including the potential for a complete loss of expected future cashflows on IO investments

 

Agency MBS Risk. Agency MBS are subject to all risks generally applicable to MBS, but protection from credit losses is generally subject to a guarantee from the issuing or guaranteeing U.S. government agency. There is no guarantee that such credit support will exist in the future. Further, this guarantee is not intended to protect against non-credit related investment losses, including but not limited to the impact of loan prepayment behavior, interest rate movements, reduction in interest proceeds, changes in the timing of principal repayment and other factors not explicitly related to a credit loss. No agency guarantee should be viewed as a complete protection against capital depreciation.

 

Non-Agency Residential MBS/Commercial MBS/ABS (“Non-Agency Assets”) Risk. Non-Agency Assets are not issued by U.S. government agencies or instrumentalities, but by private entities such as banks, savings and loans, mortgage bankers, securitization vehicles and other nongovernmental issuers, and are not guaranteed by the U.S. government or any agency. Accordingly,

 

125

 

THE ADVISORS’ INNER CIRCLE FUND III

FS INVESTMENTS

JUNE 30, 2024

(Unaudited)

 

 

Non-Agency Assets are subject to heightened risk of loss, including but not limited to the loss of principal or credit risk.

 

Swap Agreements Risk (All Funds) — In a typical swap transaction, two parties agree to exchange the return earned on a specified underlying reference for a fixed return or the return from another underlying reference during a specified period of time. Swaps may be difficult to value and may be illiquid. Swaps could result in Fund losses if the underlying asset or reference does not perform as anticipated. Swaps create significant investment leverage such that a relatively small price movement in a swap may result in immediate and substantial losses to the Fund. The Fund may only close out a swap with its particular counterparty, and may only transfer a position with the consent of that counterparty. Certain swaps, such as short swap transactions and total return swaps, have the potential for unlimited losses, regardless of the size of the initial investment. Swaps can increase the Fund’s risk exposure to underlying references and their attendant risks, such as credit risk, market risk, foreign currency risk and interest rate risk, while also exposing the Fund to correlation risk, counterparty risk, hedging risk, inflation risk, leverage risk, liquidity risk, pricing risk and volatility risk.

 

Prepayment Risk (Multi-Strategy Alternatives Fund) The Fund faces prepayment risk with respect to certain fixed-income investments. When interest rates fall, certain fixed income obligations will be paid off by the obligor more quickly than originally anticipated, and the Fund may have to invest the proceeds in securities with lower yields, potentially reducing overall Fund returns.

 

Model and Technology Risk (All Funds) — The Adviser, Underlying Managers, and Alternative Beta Providers may use investment programs that are fundamentally dependent on proprietary or licensed technology through such manager’s use of, among other things, certain hardware, software, model-based strategies, data gathering systems, order execution, and trade allocation systems, and/or risk management systems. These strategies may not be successful on an ongoing basis or could contain errors, omissions, imperfections, or malfunctions. These errors may result in, among other things, execution and allocation failures and failures to properly gather and organize large amounts of data from third parties and other external source.

 

Event-Driven Trading Risk (Multi-Strategy Alternatives Fund) — The Fund may seek to profit from the occurrence of specific corporate or other events. A delay in the timing of these events, or the failure of these events to occur at all, may have a significant negative effect on the Fund’s performance.

 

Arbitrage Strategies Risk (Multi-Strategy Alternatives Fund) — The Fund may purchase securities at prices only slightly below the anticipated value to be paid or exchanged for such securities in a merger, exchange offer or cash tender offer, and substantially above the prices at which such securities traded immediately prior to announcement of the transaction. If there is a perception that the proposed transaction will not be consummated or will be delayed, the market price of the security may decline sharply.

The Fund may also employ convertible arbitrage investing strategies, which involve investing in convertible securities that appear incorrectly valued relative to their theoretical value. Convertible arbitrage strategies generally involve spreads between two or more positions. To the extent the price relationships between such positions remain constant, no gain or loss on the position will occur. Such positions do, however, entail a substantial risk that the price differential could change unfavorably, causing a loss. The success of convertible arbitrage investing activities will depend on the Adviser’s and/or an Underlying Manager’s ability to identify and exploit price discrepancies in the market. Identification and exploitation of market opportunities involve uncertainty. No assurance can be given that the Adviser and/or an Underlying Manager will be able to locate investment opportunities or to correctly exploit price discrepancies.

 

High Portfolio Turnover Risk (All Funds) — Active and frequent trading of the Fund’s portfolio securities may result in increased transaction costs to the Fund, including brokerage commissions, dealer mark-ups and other transaction costs, which could reduce the Fund’s return.

 

Convertible Securities Risk (Multi-Strategy Alternatives Fund and Real Development Fund) — If market interest rates rise, the value of a convertible security usually falls. In addition, convertible securities are subject to the risk that the issuer will not be able to pay interest or dividends when due, and their market value may change based on changes in the issuer’s credit rating or the market’s perception of the issuer’s creditworthiness. Since it derives a portion of its value from the common stock into which it may be converted, a convertible security is also subject to the same types of market and issuer risks that apply to the underlying common stock. “Mandatory” convertible bonds, which must be converted into common stock by a certain date, may be more exposed to the risks of the underlying common stock.

 

Volatility Risk (All Funds) — The Fund may have investments that appreciate or decrease significantly in value over short periods of time. This may cause the Fund’s net asset value (“NAV”) per share to experience significant increases or declines in value over short periods of time, however, all investments long- or short-term are subject to risk of loss.

 

Counterparty Risk (All Funds) — The stability and liquidity of many derivative transactions depends in large part on the creditworthiness of the parties to the transactions. If a counterparty to such a transaction defaults, exercising contractual rights may involve delays or costs for the Fund. Furthermore, there is a risk that a counterparty could become the subject of insolvency proceedings, and that the recovery of securities and other assets from such counterparty will be delayed or be of a value less than the value of the securities or assets originally entrusted to such counterparty.

 

Market Capitalization Risk (Small-, Mid- and Large-Cap Stocks Risk) (Real Development Fund) — To the extent the Fund emphasizes small-, mid-, or large-cap stocks, it takes

 

127

 

THE ADVISORS’ INNER CIRCLE FUND III

FS INVESTMENTS

JUNE 30, 2024

(Unaudited)

 

 

on the associated risks. At any given time, any of these market capitalizations may be out of favor with investors. Small- or mid-cap capitalization stocks may be more volatile and more affected by sector or market events than larger-capitalization stocks.

 

Short Sales Risk (Multi-Strategy Alternatives Fund) — A short sale of a security involves the theoretical risk of unlimited loss because of increases in the market price of the security sold short. The Fund’s use of short sales, in certain circumstances, can result in significant losses.

 

Hedging Transactions Risk (All Funds) — The Fund may invest in securities and utilize financial instruments for a variety of hedging purposes. Hedging transactions may limit the opportunity for gain if the value of the portfolio position should increase. There can be no assurance that the Fund will engage in hedging transactions at any given time, even under volatile market conditions, or that any hedging transactions the Fund engages in will be successful. Moreover, it may not be possible for the Fund to enter into a hedging transaction at a price sufficient to protect its assets. The Fund may not anticipate a particular risk so as to hedge against it.

 

Investment Style Risk (All Funds) — Different investment styles (e.g., “growth”, “value” or “quantitative”) tend to shift in and out of favor depending upon market and economic conditions and investor sentiment. The Fund employs various non-traditional and alternative investment styles, and may outperform or underperform other funds that invest in similar asset classes but employ different investment styles. Risks also exist that Underlying Managers may fail to fully adhere to stated or agreed-upon investment strategies and goals. An Underlying Manager may make certain changes to the strategies that the manager has previously used, may not use such strategies at all, may use additional strategies or may lose a license permitting the use of a proprietary model. Such changes may not be fully disclosed to the Fund’s Board of Trustees or the Adviser. As a result, the Fund’s portfolio could correlate with broader securities markets more closely than anticipated, or may otherwise fail to achieve desired performance.

 

Alternative Beta Strategies seek to generate returns through exposure to portfolios of risky assets that are selected based on non-traditional criteria. These strategies may involve elevated risk insofar as they may not involve detailed, issuer-specific fundamental analysis. Alternative Beta Strategies may give the Fund exposure to individual issuers that face significant operational, financial, regulatory or other challenges.

 

Rule 144A and Other Exempted Securities Risk (Multi-Strategy Alternatives Fund and Real Development Fund) — The Fund may invest in privately placed and other securities or instruments exempt from Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) registration (collectively “private placements”), subject to liquidity and other regulatory restrictions. In the U.S. market, private placements are typically sold only to qualified institutional buyers, or qualified purchasers, as applicable. An insufficient number of buyers interested in purchasing private placements at a particular time could affect

 

128

 

THE ADVISORS’ INNER CIRCLE FUND III

FS INVESTMENTS

JUNE 30, 2024

(Unaudited)

 

 

adversely the marketability of such investments and the Fund might be unable to dispose of them promptly or at reasonable prices, subjecting the Fund to liquidity risk.

 

Valuation Risk (All Funds) — The sales price the Fund could receive for any particular portfolio investment may differ from the Fund’s valuation of the investment, particularly for securities that trade in thin or volatile markets or that are valued using a fair value methodology. Investors who purchase or redeem Fund shares on days when the Fund is holding fair-valued securities may receive fewer or more shares or lower or higher redemption proceeds than they would have received if the Fund had not fair-valued the security or had used a different valuation methodology.

 

Leverage Risk (All Funds) — Leverage occurs when the Fund directly or indirectly increases its assets available for investment using borrowings, short sales, Financial Instruments, or similar instruments or techniques. The use of leverage may make any change in the Fund’s NAV greater than it otherwise would be and thus result in increased volatility of returns and the risk that the Fund will lose more than it has invested or the margin it supplies to its counterparty on the instrument. Leverage can also create interest or other transactional expenses that may lower the Fund’s overall returns. The use of leverage may cause the Fund to liquidate portfolio positions at disadvantageous times in order to satisfy its obligations or to meet any asset segregation or position coverage requirements.

 

Cyber Security and Operational Risk (All Funds) — The Fund and its service providers may experience disruptions that arise from breaches in cyber security, human error, processing and communications errors, counterparty or third-party errors, technology or systems failures, any of which may have an adverse impact on the Fund. Failures or breaches of the electronic systems of the Fund, the Fund’s adviser, distributor, and other service providers, or the issuers of securities in which the Fund invests have the ability to cause disruptions and negatively impact the Fund’s operations, potentially resulting in financial losses to the Fund and its shareholders.

 

Issuer Risk (All Funds) — An issuer in which the Fund invests or to which it has exposure may perform poorly, and the value of its loans or securities may therefore decline, which would negatively affect the Fund’s performance. Poor performance may be caused by poor management decisions, competitive pressures, breakthroughs in technology, reliance on suppliers, labor problems or shortages, corporate restructurings, fraudulent disclosures, natural disasters, the spread of infectious illness (including epidemics and pandemics) or other events, conditions or factors.

 

Liquidity Risk (All Funds) — Although the Fund will invest primarily in liquid, publicly traded securities, the Fund may make investments that may be illiquid or that may become less liquid in response to market developments or adverse investor perceptions. Illiquid investments may be more difficult to value and more difficult to sell in response to redemption requests than liquid investments. If the Fund must sell illiquid or less liquid assets to meet redemption requests or other cash needs, it may be forced to sell at a loss.

Regulatory Risk (All Funds) — Legal, tax, and regulatory developments may adversely affect the Fund. The regulatory environment for the Fund is evolving, and changes in the regulation of investment funds, their managers, and their trading activities and capital markets, or a regulator’s disagreement with the Fund’s interpretation of the application of certain regulations, may adversely affect the ability of the Fund to pursue its investment strategy, its ability to obtain leverage and financing, and the value of investments held by the Fund.

 

Tax Risk (All Funds) — To comply with its asset diversification test applicable to a RIC, the Fund will limit its investments in the Subsidiary to 25% of the Fund’s total assets at the end of each quarter. The Fund intends to invest in complex derivatives for which there is not clear guidance from the Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) as to the calculation of such investments under the asset diversification test applicable to RICs. There are no assurances that the IRS will agree with the Fund’s calculation under the asset diversification test which could cause the Fund to fail to qualify as a RIC.

 

The tax treatment of certain commodity investments and derivative instruments in which the Fund may invest may be affected by future regulatory or legislative changes that could affect the character, timing and/or amount of the Fund’s taxable income or gains and distributions. If the Fund did not qualify as a RIC for any taxable year and certain relief provisions were not available, the Fund’s taxable income would be subject to tax at the Fund level and to a further tax at the shareholder level when such income is distributed. Failure to comply with the requirements for qualification as a RIC could cause the Fund to become subject to federal income tax, thereby diminishing the returns for shareholders.

 

Investment in Other Investment Companies Risk (Multi-Strategy Alternatives Fund and Real Development Fund) — As with other investments, investments in other investment companies, including ETFs, are subject to market and manager risk. In addition, if the Fund acquires shares of investment companies, shareholders bear both their proportionate share of expenses in the Fund (including management and advisory fees) and, indirectly, the expenses of the investment companies. The Fund may invest in money market mutual funds. An investment in a money market mutual fund is not insured or guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or any other government agency. Although money market mutual funds that invest in U.S. government securities seek to preserve the value of the Fund’s investment at $1.00 per share, it is possible to lose money by investing in a stable NAV money market mutual fund. Moreover, SEC rules require prime money market mutual funds to use floating NAVs that do not preserve the value of the Fund’s investment at $1.00 per share.

 

Custody Risk (All Funds) — The Fund invests in securities markets that are less developed than those in the U.S., which may expose the Fund to risks in the process of clearing and settling trades and the holding of securities by local banks, agents and depositories. The less developed a country’s securities market is, the greater the likelihood of custody problems.

Subsidiary Risk (All Funds) — By investing in a Subsidiary, the Fund is indirectly exposed to the risks associated with the Subsidiary’s investments. The derivatives and other investments held by the Subsidiary are generally similar to those that are permitted to be held by the Fund and are subject to the same risks that apply to similar investments if held directly by the Fund. The Subsidiary is not registered under the 1940 Act, and unless otherwise noted in this prospectus, is not subject to all the investor protections of the 1940 Act. Changes in the laws of the United States and/or the Cayman Islands could result in the inability of the Fund and/or Subsidiary to continue to operate as it does currently and could adversely affect the Fund.

 

Non-U.S. Government Securities Risk (Multi-Strategy Alternatives Fund and Real Development Fund) — Foreign sovereign debt securities are subject to the risks that: (i) the governmental entity that controls the repayment of sovereign debt may not be willing or able to repay the principal and/or interest when it becomes due, due to factors such as debt service burden, political constraints, cash flow problems and other national economic factors; (ii) governments may default on their debt securities, which may require holders of such securities to participate in debt rescheduling or additional lending to defaulting governments; and (iii) there is no bankruptcy proceeding by which defaulted sovereign debt may be collected in whole or in part.

 

Real Estate-Related Investment Risk (Real Development Fund) — Investments in REITs and in securities of other companies (wherever organized) principally engaged in the real estate industry subject the Fund to, among other things, risks similar to those of direct investments in real estate and the real estate industry in general. These include risks related to general and local economic conditions, possible lack of availability of financing and changes in interest rates or property values. REITs are entities that either own properties or make construction or mortgage loans, and also may include operating or finance companies. The value of interests in a REIT may be affected by, among other factors, changes in the value of the underlying properties owned by the REIT, changes in the prospect for earnings and/or cash flow growth of the REIT itself, defaults by borrowers or tenants, market saturation, decreases in market rates for rents, and other economic, political, or regulatory matters affecting the real estate industry, including REITs. REITs and similar non-U.S. entities depend upon specialized management skills, may have limited financial resources, may have less trading volume in their securities, and may be subject to more abrupt or erratic price movements than the overall securities markets. U.S. REITs are also subject to the risk of failing to qualify for favorable tax treatment under the Code. Some REITs (especially mortgage REITs) are affected by risks similar to those associated with investments in debt securities including changes in interest rates and the quality of credit extended.

 

Highly Leveraged Transactions Risk (Multi-Strategy Alternatives Fund and Real Development Fund) — The loans or other debt instruments in which the Fund invests may include highly leveraged transactions whereby the borrower assumes large amounts of debt in order to have the financial resources to attempt to achieve its business objectives. Loans or other debt instruments that are part of highly leveraged

THE ADVISORS’ INNER CIRCLE FUND III

FS INVESTMENTS

(Unaudited)

 

 

transactions involve a greater risk (including default and bankruptcy) than other investments.

 

Non-Diversification Risk (All Funds) — The Fund is classified as a “non-diversified” investment company, which means that the percentage of its assets that may be invested in the securities of a single issuer is not limited by the 1940 Act. As a result, the Fund’s investment portfolio may be subject to greater risk and volatility than if investments had been made in the securities of a broad range of issuers.

 

Activist Strategies Risk (All Funds) — The Fund may purchase securities of companies that are the subject of proxy contests or which activist investors are attempting to influence, in the expectation that new management or a change in business strategies will cause the price of such company’s securities to increase. There is a risk that the market price of the company’s securities will fall if the proxy contest, or the new management, is not successful.

 

Exchange-Traded Product Risk (Real Development Fund) — The Fund may invest in long (or short) positions in ETFs, ETVs and ETNs (collectively with ETFs and ETVs, “ETPs”). Through its positions in ETPs, the Fund will be subject to the risks associated with such vehicles’ investments, including the possibility that the value of the securities or instruments held by an ETP could decrease (or increase), and will bear its proportionate share of the ETP’s fees and expenses. In addition, certain of the ETPs may hold common portfolio positions, thereby reducing any diversification benefits.

 

Limited Capacity Risk (Multi-Strategy Alternatives Fund) — Alternative investment strategies utilized by the Fund may have limited capacity, and the Adviser may not be able to allocate as much of the Fund’s assets to one or more alternative investment strategies as it desires. This capacity limitation may negatively impact the performance and portfolio composition of the Fund.

 

Preferred Stock Risk (Multi-Strategy Alternatives Fund and Real Development Fund) — Preferred stock is a type of stock that generally pays dividends at a specified rate and that has preference over common stock in the payment of dividends and the liquidation of assets. Preferred stock does not ordinarily carry voting rights. The price of a preferred stock is generally determined by earnings, type of products or services, projected growth rates, experience of management, liquidity, and general market conditions of the markets on which the stock trades. The most significant risks associated with investments in preferred stock include issuer risk, market risk and interest rate risk (i.e., the risk of losses attributable to changes in interest rates).

 

U.S. Government Securities Risk (Multi-Strategy Alternatives Fund) The U.S. government may not provide financial support to U.S. government agencies, instrumentalities or sponsored enterprises that have issued debt securities that may be held by the Fund. Such issuers may not have the funds to meet their payment obligations in the future.

Contracts for Differences Risk (All Funds) — As is the case with owning any financial instrument, there is the risk of loss associated with buying a CFD. There may be liquidity risk if the underlying instrument is illiquid because the liquidity of a CFD is based on the liquidity of the underlying instrument. Adverse movements in the underlying security will require the buyer to post additional margin. CFDs also carry counterparty risk, i.e., the risk that the counterparty to the CFD transaction may be unable or unwilling to make payments or to otherwise honor its financial obligations under the terms of the contract. If the counterparty were to do so, the value of the contract may be reduced. To the extent that there is an imperfect correlation between the return on the Fund’s obligation to its counterparty under the CFDs and the return on related assets in its portfolio, the CFD transaction may increase the Fund’s financial risk.

 

Depositary Receipts Risk (Multi-Strategy Alternatives Fund and Real Development Fund) — Depositary receipts are certificates evidencing ownership of shares of a foreign issuer that are issued by depositary banks and generally trade on an established market. Depositary receipts are subject to many of the risks associated with investing directly in foreign securities, including, among other things, political, social and economic developments abroad, currency movements, and different legal, regulatory and tax environments.

 

Municipal Securities Risk (Multi-Strategy Alternatives Fund) — Municipal securities, like other fixed income securities, rise and fall in value in response to economic and market factors, primarily changes in interest rates, and actual or perceived credit quality. Rising interest rates will generally cause municipal securities to decline in value. Longer-term securities respond more sharply to interest rate changes than do shorter-term securities. A municipal security will also lose value if, due to rating downgrades or other factors, there are concerns about the issuer’s current or future ability to make principal or interest payments. State and local governments rely on taxes and, to some extent, revenues from private projects financed by municipal securities, to pay interest and principal on municipal debt. Poor statewide or local economic results or changing political sentiments may reduce tax revenues and increase the expenses of municipal issuers, making it more difficult for them to meet their obligations. Actual or perceived erosion of the creditworthiness of municipal issuers may reduce the value of the Fund’s holdings. As a result, the Fund will be more susceptible to factors that adversely affect issuers of municipal obligations than a mutual fund that does not have as great a concentration in municipal obligations.

 

Unregistered Fund Risk (All Funds) — Unlike the Fund, unregistered funds are not subject to the investor protections provided under the 1940 Act. Accordingly, (i) the relationship between the unregistered fund and its adviser will not be regulated by the 1940 Act; (ii) unregistered funds are not required to have a majority of disinterested directors; (iii) unregistered funds are not subject to the various custody and safekeeping provisions under the 1940 Act designed to protect fund assets; and (iv) unregistered funds are not subject to the various investment limitations under the

 

133

 

THE ADVISORS’ INNER CIRCLE FUND III

FS INVESTMENTS

(Unaudited)

 

 

1940 Act. The Fund’s performance is subject to the risks associated with the securities and other investments held by an unregistered fund in which the Fund may invest. The ability of the Fund to achieve its investment objective may depend upon the ability of an unregistered fund to achieve its investment objectives. When the Fund invests in an unregistered fund, in addition to directly bearing the expenses associated with its own operations, it will bear a pro rata portion of the unregistered fund’s expenses.

 

As part of the Fund’s investments in unregistered funds, the Fund may invest in limited partnership interests. There may be fewer protections afforded to investors in a limited partnership than investors in a corporation. In addition, limited partnerships may be subject to state taxation in certain jurisdictions which may reduce the amount of income paid by the limited partnership to its investors. In addition, investments in limited partnerships may be illiquid and may not have daily pricing information available for their investors, which will require a Fund to employ fair value procedures to value its holdings in such investments.

 

Warrants and Rights Risk — Warrants and rights do not carry with them the right to dividends or voting rights with respect to the securities that they entitle the holder to purchase, and they do not represent any rights in the assets of the issuer. As a result, warrants and rights may be considered more speculative than certain other types of equity-like securities. In addition, the values of warrants and rights do not necessarily change with the values of the underlying securities or commodities and these instruments cease to have value if they are not exercised prior to their expiration dates.

 

12. Concentration of Shareholders:

 

At June 30, 2024, the percentage of total shares outstanding held by shareholders for each Fund, which are comprised of affiliated omnibus accounts, unless otherwise indicated, that are held on behalf of various individual shareholders, was as follows:

 

   

No. of Shareholders

      % Ownership  

Multi-Strategy Alternatives

               

Class A

    2       76 %

Class I

    3       57 %

Managed Futures

Class I

Class A

    2       100 %

Class I

    1       36 %
                 
                 

 

13. Indemnifications:

 

In the normal course of business, the Fund enters into contracts that provide general indemnifications. The Fund’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is dependent on future claims that may be made against the Fund and, therefore, cannot

be established; however, based on experience, the risk of loss from such claim is considered remote.

 

14. Subsequent Events:

 

The Funds have evaluated the need for additional disclosures (other than what is disclosed in the preceding paragraphs) and/or adjustments resulting from subsequent events through the date the financial statements were issued. Based on this evaluation, no additional disclosures and/or adjustments were required to the financial statements as of June 30, 2024.

BOARD OF TRUSTEES CONSIDERATIONS IN APPROVING THE SUB-ADVISORY AGREEMENT (FORM N-CSRS ITEM 11)

FS Multi-Strategy Alternatives Fund

 
 

 

 

Pursuant to Section 15 of the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the “1940 Act”), the Fund’s sub-advisory agreement must be approved by the vote of a majority of the members of the Board of Trustees (the “Board” or the “Trustees”) of The Advisors’ Inner Circle Fund III (the “Trust”) who are not parties to the agreement or “interested persons” of any party thereto, as defined in the 1940 Act (the “Independent Trustees”), cast in person at a meeting called for the purpose of voting on such approval.

 

A Board meeting was held on June 17-18, 2024 to decide whether to approve the following agreement (the “New Sub-Advisory Agreement”) for an initial two-year term:

 

 

the Sub-Advisory Agreement between the Adviser and Magnetar Asset Management LLC (“Magnetar”) on behalf of the FS Multi-Strategy Alternatives Fund.

 

In preparation for the Meeting, the Trustees requested that the Adviser and Magnetar furnish information necessary to evaluate the terms of the New Sub-Advisory Agreement. The Trustees used this information, as well as other information that the Adviser, Magnetar and other service providers of the Fund presented or submitted to the Board at the Meeting, to help them decide whether to approve the New Sub-Advisory Agreement for an initial two-year term..

 

Specifically, the Board requested and received written materials from the Adviser, Magnetar and other service providers of the Fund regarding, among other things: (i) the nature, extent and quality of the services to be provided by Magnetar; (ii) Magnetar’s investment management personnel; (iii) Magnetar’s operations and financial condition; (iv) the proposed sub-advisory fee to be paid to Magnetar; (v) Magnetar’s compliance program, including a description of any material compliance matters; (vi) Magnetar’s policies on and compliance procedures for personal securities transactions; (vii) Magnetar’s investment experience; and (viii) the Adviser’s rationale for recommending Magnetar.

 

Representatives from the Adviser and Magnetar, along with other Fund service providers, presented additional information and participated in question-and-answer sessions at the Meeting to help the Trustees evaluate Magnetar’s services, fee and other aspects of the New Sub-Advisory Agreement. Based on their evaluation of the information provided by the Adviser and Magnetar, the Trustees, including all of the Trustees who are not parties to the New Sub-Advisory Agreement nor are considered “interested persons” (as such term is defined in the 1940 Act) of any party to the

 

136

 

THE ADVISORS’ INNER CIRCLE FUND III

FS INVESTMENTS

JUNE 30, 2024

(Unaudited)

 

 

New Sub-Advisory Agreement (the “Independent Trustees”) received advice from independent counsel and met in executive session outside the presence of Fund management, the Adviser, and Magnetar.

 

At the Meeting, the Board, including a majority of the Independent Trustees, voting separately, approved the New Sub-Advisory Agreement. In considering the approval of the New Sub-Advisory Agreement, the Board considered various factors that it determined were relevant, including: (i) the nature, extent and quality of the services to be provided by Magnetar; and (ii) the fee to be paid to Magnetar, as discussed in further detail below.

 

Nature, Extent and Quality of Services to be Provided by Magnetar

 

In considering the nature, extent and quality of the services to be provided by Magnetar, the Board reviewed the portfolio management services to be provided by Magnetar to the Fund, including the quality and continuity of Magnetar’s portfolio management personnel, the resources of Magnetar and Magnetar’s compliance history and compliance program. The Trustees reviewed the terms of the proposed New Sub-Advisory Agreement. The Trustees also reviewed Magnetar’s proposed investment and risk management approaches for the Fund. The Trustees considered that the Adviser would supervise and monitor the performance of Magnetar. The most recent investment adviser registration form (“Form ADV”) for Magnetar was available to the Board, as was the response of Magnetar to a detailed series of questions which included, among other things, information about the investment sub-advisory services to be provided by Magnetar to the Fund.

 

The Trustees also considered other services to be provided to the Fund by Magnetar such as monitoring adherence to the Fund’s investment restrictions, and monitoring compliance with various Fund policies and procedures. Based on the factors above, as well as those discussed below, the Board concluded, within the context of its full deliberations, that the nature, extent and quality of the services to be provided to the Fund by Magnetar would be satisfactory.

 

Costs of Advisory Services

 

In considering the sub-advisory fee payable by the Adviser to Magnetar, the Trustees reviewed, among other things, the proposed sub-advisory fee to be paid to Magnetar. The Trustees also considered that the Adviser, not the Fund, would pay Magnetar pursuant to the New Sub-Advisory Agreement, that the sub-advisory fee payable to Magnetar would thus not increase the overall management fee payable by the Fund, and that the fee payable to Magnetar would reflect an arms-length negotiation between the Adviser and Magnetar. The Board concluded, within the context of its full deliberations, that the sub-advisory fee was reasonable in light of the nature and quality of the services expected to be rendered by Magnetar.

Investment Performance, Profitability and Economies of Scale

 

Because Magnetar is new to the Fund, it did not yet have an investment performance record with respect to the Fund and it was not possible to determine the profitability that Magnetar might achieve with respect to the Fund or the extent to which economies of scale would be realized by Magnetar as the assets of the Fund grow. Accordingly, the Trustees did not make any conclusions regarding Magnetar’s investment performance with respect to the Fund, Magnetar’s profitability, or the extent to which economies of scale would be realized by Magnetar as the assets of the Fund grow, but will do so during future considerations of the New Sub-Advisory Agreement.

 

Approval of the New Sub-Advisory Agreement

 

Based on the Board’s deliberations and its evaluation of the information described above and other factors and information it believed relevant in the exercise of its reasonable business judgment, the Board, including all of the Independent Trustees, with the assistance of Fund counsel and Independent Trustees’ counsel, unanimously concluded that the terms of the New Sub-Advisory Agreement, including the fee to be paid thereunder, were fair and reasonable and agreed to approve the New Sub-Advisory Agreement for an initial term of two years. In its deliberations, the Board did not identify any absence of information as material to its decision, or any particular factor (or conclusion with respect thereto) or single piece of information that was all-important, controlling or determinative of its decision, but considered all of the factors together, and each Trustee may have attributed different weights to the various factors (and conclusions with respect thereto) and information.
