How did the Fund perform in the last year?

The Cambiar International Equity Fund posted a modest margin of excess return vs. the MSCI EAFE Index over the trailing year. Equity markets moved higher in response to falling inflation levels in the U.S. and Europe, and risk assets were further boosted by central banks’ embarking on an interest rate easing cycle. The equity rally lost some steam in August due to concerns about a possible recession in the U.S., only to quickly recover as the Federal Reserve surprised the market with a 50bps cut and unemployment levels remained relatively stable. All equity sectors with the exception of Energy closed higher – illustrating the broad-based nature of the rally. Cyclical sectors led to the upside, while defensives (e.g. Consumer Staples, Utilities) lagged. We were pleased with the Fund’s ability to add value in both up and down markets that transpired during the year, while doing so with below-benchmark risk (as measured by portfolio beta).

The Fund’s outperformance for the period was a result of positive stock selection, while sector over/underweight allocations also contributed positively to return. The Fund’s holdings within Healthcare, Technology and Materials were particularly strong for the period, and illustrative of the diverse sources of alpha that our team has been sought within the market. Individual outperformers included UCB (Healthcare), Taiwan Semi (Technology), SAP (Technology) and Agnico Eagle Mines (Materials).

From a regional perspective, Fund asset remain skewed to Europe and UK, while Japan remains an additional area of focus. In March, the Bank of Japan raised rates for the first time in 17 years – officially ending Japan's negative interest rate period. The Nikkei Index rallied to record highs before correcting sharply in late July in response to weaker US employment data and further tightening by the BOJ. The Cambiar team has been successful in identifying a number of high-quality Japanese businesses that we believe to offer an attractive risk/reward profile.

Buy/sell activity within the Fund remains a function of stock-by-stock fundamentals within the framework of constructing a diversified portfolio of high-quality businesses that are trading at reasonable valuations. With the macro environment likely to remain uncertain, we believe Cambiar’s Quality | Price | Discipline (QPD) approach should enable the Fund to generate superior risk-adjusted returns for our shareholders over a full market cycle.

How did the Fund perform in the last year?

Performance for the Cambiar Opportunity Fund was strong on an absolute basis for the trailing one-year period, while falling just short of the benchmark. Global stock markets (led by the US) have favored broad investment themes – Artificial Intelligence (AI) and anti-obesity drugs are two prominent examples. These themes happened to touch a high percentage of the largest stocks by capitalization in the overall market; for example, nine out of the largest ten S&P 500 stocks participated (directly or indirectly) in the AI trade. Functionally, this thematic bias leads to challenges in managing a more diversified portfolio. Stocks not participating in prevailing market themes can be easy to gloss over in comparison.

For most of 2023, the market focused on the narrative of an inbound recession, given restrictive monetary policy at the Fed to combat inflation. As inflation receded from troubling levels in 2024, the Fed has begun to reverse course, with weakness in various industrial categories but no outright statistical recession in view. This more supportive monetary backdrop led to broader market breadth in recent months.

The Fund benefited from positive stock selection in Information Technology, Communication Services and Financials. Leading edge semiconductors are necessary ingredients in AI datacenters and delivery. Within Financials, we have held positions in well capitalized banks, credit card payments and investment banks. After a period of relative underexposure to banks, we increased the Fund’s exposure in anticipation of expanding net interest margins, increasing capital markets activity, and an uptick in loan growth.

Although the 2020-21 COVID lockdown economy is receding into the past, distortions in consumer behaviors and global supply chains remain impacted by this historically unusual time. Our weakest performers include consumer products companies and industrial-materials companies where consumption patterns remain affected by outsized supply and demand shocks emanating from this unusual time period. We do expect to see more linear supply and demand dynamics in 2025 in these areas.

As we move into 2025 and beyond, equity markets are priced at elevated valuations versus history, while other coincident indicators such as cyclically-adjusted earnings, investment grade corporate bond spreads, and high yield spreads all reside near historically high and tight levels, respectively. We are proceeding with higher caution around ambient valuation to fund holdings.

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. Once implemented, if you would like to discontinue householding for your accounts, please call toll-free at 1-866-777-8227 to request individual copies of these documents. Once the Fund receives notice to stop householding, we will begin sending individual copies 30 days after receiving your request.

How did the Fund perform in the last year?

The Cambiar Small Cap Fund delivered a strong absolute return over the past fiscal year, while falling short of the more robust 31.8% return for the Russell 2000 Value Index. The performance lag vs. the benchmark can be attributed to a variety of factors.

The Fund benefited from exposure to a number of high-quality businesses that were successful in producing strong earnings and free cashflow. Examples included an industrial filtration business, home warranty provider, a semiconductor fabrication business, and a software business serving the wealth management industry that was subsequently taken private.

Several positions in the Fund experienced deteriorating fundamentals and ultimately valuation compression, despite the suggestion of a broadly robust economy belied by the broad multiple expansion in equities. The largest detractor from performance was nurse and doctor staffing company AMN Healthcare. Earnings and valuation have compressed, as hospitals and other medical professional employers reconsider how to staff their organizations after worker shortages during COVID. We believe AMN’s services are critical to the healthcare system and remain confident that the company will return to growth in the coming quarters. Outdoor recreation product retailer Johnson Outdoor was an additional detractor from Fund performance for the period. The post-COVID hangover from overconsumption of the outdoor durable goods that Johnson sells continues to represent a headwind to sales and earnings growth. Johnson remains a quality retailer with a clean balance sheet and a valuation level that is near the lowest over the past decade. Both of these positions declined on an absolute basis, representing a meaningful drag relative to the positive return for the benchmark. It is worth noting that the Fund continues to own all but one of the bottom ten performing holdings, as our research team continues to have confidence in the above average business quality, medium- to long-term earnings growth prospects, and low investor expectations as implied by a compressed valuation. While painful in the moment, these conditions have historically been helpful in driving attractive forward returns. We do not believe these businesses are value traps.

Relative performance experienced a further drag from the Fund’s historically consistent bias to high profitability companies with lower leverage and the lower beta – as these attributes trailed in the ‘risk on’ bias that permeated the equity markets. Finally, cash levels of just below 2% during the reporting periods also represented a drag on relative performance.

While disappointed in the performance relative to the benchmark Russell 2000 Value over the 2024 reporting period, we continue to feel confident in the ability of the team and the fund to deliver on our medium to long-term objectives of superior rolling 3- and 5-year returns while demonstrating better downside capture in times of market stress.

How did the Fund perform in the last year?

The Cambiar SMID Fund was not able to keep pace with the robust gain in the Russell 2500 Value Index over the trailing fiscal year. The performance lag vs. the benchmark can be attributed to a variety of factors.

The Fund benefited from holdings in energy pipeline company Targa Resources, regional bank BOK Financial, leading title insurer Fidelity National, home improvement company Masco, and Arizona Electric Utility Pinnacle West.

There were several positions in the Fund that experienced deteriorating fundamentals and ultimately valuation compression despite the suggestion of a broadly robust economy belied by the broad multiple expansion in equities. Dentsply Sirona, a dental product producer and distributor, was the weakest individual stock in the SMID Fund. The company continued to experience weak demand from dentist customers, resulting in a reduction in near-term forward earnings expectations and a severe compression in valuation (the lowest level in its history across a variety of metrics). EPAM, a leading high end IT services provider, also experienced a reduction in near-term forward earnings estimates amidst a retrenchment in technology spend by large corporate entities as they digest elevated spend in 2021 and 2022 and further reconsider spending plans in light of emerging investment in AI. EPAM’s valuation is also bouncing along the lowest levels it has seen over the last ten years. Both of these positions declined on an absolute basis, representing a meaningful drag against the strong benchmark return. It is worth noting that the Fund continues to own all but one of the bottom ten performing holdings, as our research team continues to have confidence in the above average business quality, medium- to long-term earnings growth prospects, and low investor expectations as implied by a compressed valuation. While painful in the moment, these conditions have historically been helpful in driving attractive forward returns. We do not believe these businesses are value traps.

Relative performance experienced a further drag from the Fund’s historically consistent bias to high profitability companies with lower leverage and the lower beta – as these attributes trailed in the ‘risk on’ bias that permeated the equity markets. Finally, cash levels of just below 3% during the reporting periods also represented a drag on relative performance.

While disappointed in the performance relative to the benchmark over the past year, we remain confident in the ability of the team and the Fund to deliver on our medium to long-term objectives of superior rolling 3- and 5-year returns while demonstrating better downside capture in times of market stress.

The company continued to experience weak demand from dentist customers, resulting in a reduction in near-term forward earnings expectations and a severe compression in valuation (the lowest level in its history across a variety of metrics). EPAM, a leading high end IT services provider, also experienced a reduction in near-term forward earnings estimates amidst a retrenchment in technology spend by large corporate entities as they digest elevated spend in 2021 and 2022 and further reconsider spending plans in light of emerging investment in AI. EPAM’s valuation is also bouncing along the lowest levels it has seen over the last ten years. Both of these positions declined on an absolute basis, representing a meaningful drag against the strong benchmark return. It is worth noting that the Fund continues to own all but one of the bottom ten performing holdings, as our research team continues to have confidence in the above average business quality, medium- to long-term earnings growth prospects, and low investor expectations as implied by a compressed valuation. While painful in the moment, these conditions have historically been helpful in driving attractive forward returns. We do not believe these businesses are value traps.

Relative performance experienced a further drag from the Fund’s historically consistent bias to high profitability companies with lower leverage and the lower beta – as these attributes trailed in the ‘risk on’ bias that permeated the equity markets. Finally, cash levels of just below 3% during the reporting periods also represented a drag on relative performance.

While disappointed in the performance relative to the benchmark over the past year, we remain confident in the ability of the team and the Fund to deliver on our medium to long-term objectives of superior rolling 3- and 5-year returns while demonstrating better downside capture in times of market stress.

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. Once implemented, if you would like to discontinue householding for your accounts, please call toll-free at 1-866-777-8227 to request individual copies of these documents. Once the Fund receives notice to stop householding, we will begin sending individual copies 30 days after receiving your request.

Notes:

 

(1) Audit fees include amounts related to the audit of the Trust’s annual financial statements and services normally provided by the accountant in connection with statutory and regulatory filings.

 

(2) Tax compliance services provided to service affiliates of the funds.

 

(3) Non-audit assurance engagements for service affiliates of the funds.

 

(e)(1) The Trust’s Audit Committee has adopted and the Board of Trustees has ratified an Audit and Non-Audit Services Pre-Approval Policy (the “Policy”), which sets forth the procedures and the conditions pursuant to which services proposed to be performed by the independent auditor of the Funds may be pre-approved.

 

The Policy provides that all requests or applications for proposed services to be provided by the independent auditor must be submitted to the Registrant’s Chief Financial Officer (“CFO”) and must include a detailed description of the services proposed to be rendered. The CFO will determine whether such services:

 

(1) require specific pre-approval;

 

(2) are included within the list of services that have received the general pre-approval of the Audit Committee pursuant to the Policy; or

 

(3) have been previously pre-approved in connection with the independent auditor’s annual engagement letter for the applicable year or otherwise. In any instance where services require pre-approval, the Audit Committee will consider whether such services are consistent with SEC’s rules and whether the provision of such services would impair the auditor’s independence.

 

Requests or applications to provide services that require specific pre-approval by the Audit Committee will be submitted to the Audit Committee by the CFO. The Audit Committee will be informed by the CFO on a quarterly basis of all services rendered by the independent auditor. The Audit Committee has delegated specific pre-approval authority to either the Audit Committee Chair or financial expert, provided that the estimated fee for any such proposed pre-approved service does not exceed $100,000 and any pre-approval decisions are reported to the Audit Committee at its next regularly-scheduled meeting.

 

Services that have received the general pre-approval of the Audit Committee are identified and described in the Policy. In addition, the Policy sets forth a maximum fee per engagement with respect to each identified service that has received general pre-approval.

 

All services to be provided by the independent auditor shall be provided pursuant to a signed written engagement letter with the Registrant, the investment adviser, or applicable control affiliate (except that matters as to which an engagement letter would be impractical because of timing issues or because the matter is small may not be the subject of an engagement letter) that sets forth both the services to be provided by the independent auditor and the total fees to be paid to the independent auditor for those services.

 

In addition, the Audit Committee has determined to take additional measures on an annual basis to meet the Audit Committee’s responsibility to oversee the work of the independent auditor and to assure the auditor's independence from the Registrant, such as (a) reviewing a formal written statement from the independent auditor delineating all relationships between the independent auditor and the Registrant, and (b) discussing with the independent auditor the independent auditor’s methods and procedures for ensuring independence.

Included in the Audit Committee’s pre-approval of these non-audit service were the review and consideration as to whether the provision of these non-audit services is compatible with maintaining the principal accountant’s independence.

 

(i)       Not Applicable.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

1. Organization:

 

The Advisors’ Inner Circle Fund (the “Trust”) was organized as a Massachusetts business trust under an Amended and Restated Agreement and Declaration of Trust dated February 18, 1997. The Trust is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, as an open-end management investment company with 26 portfolios. The financial statements herein are those of the Cambiar Opportunity Fund, Cambiar SMID Fund, Cambiar Small Cap Fund and Cambiar International Equity Fund (collectively the “Funds,” individually a “Fund”) each of which are diversified Funds. The Opportunity Fund and International Equity Fund seek total return and capital preservation. The SMID Fund and Small Cap Fund seek long-term capital appreciation. The goal of each of the Funds is to provide above-average performance in both rising and falling market periods by investing in stocks that have limited downside risk and positive upside potential. 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.

 

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 an investment company 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 liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of increases and decreases in net assets from operations 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 the valuation date (or at approximately 4:00 pm ET 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 recent quoted bid price. For securities traded on NASDAQ, the NASDAQ Official Closing Price will be used. 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. No securities were fair valued by the committee as of October 31, 2024.

 

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 a Fund calculates its net asset value. The closing prices of such securities may no longer reflect their market value at the time a Fund calculates 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 a Fund calculates net asset value. A Significant Event may relate to a single issuer or to an entire market sector. If the Funds’ 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 a Fund calculates net asset value, it may request that a Committee meeting be called. In addition, the Funds’ Administrator monitors price movements among certain selected indices, securities and/or baskets of securities that may be an indicator that the closing prices received earlier from foreign exchanges or markets may not reflect market value at the time a Fund calculates net asset value. If price movements in a monitored index or security exceed levels established by the Administrator, the Administrator notifies the Adviser if a Fund is holding the relevant security that such limits have been exceeded. In such event, the Adviser makes the determination whether a Committee meeting should be called based on the information provided.

 

The Cambiar International Equity Fund uses Intercontinental Exchange Data Pricing & Reference Data, LLC. (“ICE”) as a third party fair valuation vendor. ICE provides a fair value for foreign securities held by the Fund based on certain factors and methodologies (involving, generally, tracking valuation correlations between the U.S. market and each non-U.S. security)  applied by ICE in the event that there is a movement in the U.S. market that exceeds a specific threshold that has been established by the Committee. The Committee has also established a “confidence interval” which is used to determine the level of correlation between the value of a foreign security and movements in the U.S. market before a particular security is fair valued when the threshold is exceeded. In the event that the threshold established by the Committee is exceeded on a specific day, the Cambiar International Equity Fund values the non- U.S. securities in its portfolio that exceed the applicable “confidence interval” based upon the fair values provided by ICE. In such event, it is not necessary to hold a Committee meeting. In the event that the Adviser believes that the fair values provided by ICE are not reliable, the Adviser contacts the Fund’s Administrator and requests that a meeting of the Committee be held. As of October 31, 2024, the Cambiar International Equity Fund total market value of securities that were fair valued by the Committee were $116,186,548 or 87.7% of Net Assets.

If a local market in which the Fund owns securities is closed for one or more days, the Cambiar International Equity Fund shall value all securities held in the corresponding currency based on the fair value prices provided by ICE using the predetermined confidence interval discussed above.

 

In accordance with the authoritative guidance on fair value measurements and disclosure under GAAP, the Funds disclose the fair value of their 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 under ASC 820 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 markets, adjusted quoted prices on foreign equity securities that were adjusted in accordance with the Adviser’s pricing procedure, etc.)

 

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.

 

Federal Income Taxes — It is each Fund’s intention to qualify or 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, and to distribute substantially all of its income to share-holders. Accordingly, no provision for Federal income taxes has 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 not deemed to meet the more-likely-than-not threshold are recorded as a tax benefit or expense in the current year. 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., the last 3 tax year ends, as applicable), on-going analysis of and changes to tax laws, regulations and interpretations thereof.

 

The Cambiar International Equity Fund may be subject to taxes imposed by countries in which they invest. Such taxes are generally based on either income or gains earned or repatriated. The Funds accrue and apply such taxes to net investment income, net realized gains and net unrealized gains as income and/or capital gains are earned.

 

As of October 31 2024, the Funds did not have a liability for any unrecognized tax benefits. The Funds recognize interest and penalties, if any, related to unrecognized tax benefits as income tax expense in the Statements of Operations. During the year ended October 31, 2024, the Funds did not incur any interest or penalties.

 

Security Transactions and Investment Income — Security transactions are accounted for on trade date for financial reporting purposes. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date and interest income is recognized on the accrual basis. Costs used in determining realized gains and losses on the sales of investment securities are based on specific identification.

Cash Equivalents — Idle cash and currency balances may be swept into various overnight sweep accounts and are classified as cash equivalents on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Funds maintain cash in bank deposit accounts which, at times, may exceed United States federally insured limits. Amounts swept are available on the next business day.

 

Foreign Currency Translation — The 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 gains and losses on investments and net change in unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on investments on the 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 amounts actually received or paid.

 

Expenses — Expenses of the Trust which can be directly attributed to a particular Fund are borne by that Fund. Expenses which cannot be directly attributed to a Fund are apportioned among the Funds of the Trust based on the number of funds and/or relative net assets.

 

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

 

Dividends and Distributions to Shareholders — The Funds will distribute substantially all of their net investment income and net realized capital gains, if any, at least annually. All distributions are recorded on ex-dividend date.

 

Redemption Fees —The Cambiar Opportunity Fund, Cambiar SMID Fund, Cambiar Small Cap Fund and Cambiar International Equity Fund retain a redemption fee of 2.00% on redemptions of capital shares held for less than ninety days. For the year ended October 31, 2024, the Funds retained fees of $ 0, $2,807, $485 and $238, respectively. Such fees are retained by the Funds for the benefit of the remaining shareholders and are recorded as additions to fund capital.

 

3. Administration, Distribution, Shareholder Servicing, Transfer Agent and Custody Agreements:

 

The Funds and SEI Investments Global Fund Services (the “Administrator”) are parties to an Administration Agreement under which the Administrator provides management and administrative services to the Funds. For these services, the Administrator is paid an asset-based fee, which will vary depending on the number of share classes and the average daily net assets of the Funds. For the year ended October 31, 2024, the Funds incurred the following fees for these services: $208,060, $98,235, $52,550 and $84,436 for the Cambiar Opportunity Fund, Cambiar SMID Fund, Cambiar Small Cap Fund and Cambiar International Equity Fund, respectively.

 

The Funds have adopted a shareholder servicing fee plan under which a shareholder servicing fee up to 0.25% of average daily net assets attributable to the Investor Class Shares of the Funds will be paid to the Distributor. The Distributor may perform, or may compensate other service providers for providing, certain shareholder and administrative services. Shareholder servicing fees in excess of 0.25% of average daily net assets are paid by Cambiar Investors, LLC (the “Adviser”). During the year ended October 31, 2024, the Cambiar Opportunity, Cambiar SMID, Cambiar Small Cap and Cambiar International Equity paid $268,189, $133,267, $61,088 and $87,810, for the Investor Shares, respectively, for these services.

 

Certain officers of the Trust are also officers of the Administrator, which is a wholly-owned subsidiary of SEI Investments Company and/or the Distributor. Such officers are paid no fees by the Trust for serving as officers of the Trust.

 

A portion of the services provided by the Chief Compliance Officer (“CCO”) and his staff, whom are employees of the Administrator, are paid for by the Trust as incurred. The services include regulatory oversight of the Trust’s Advisors and service providers as required by SEC regulations. The CCO’s services have been approved by and are reviewed by the Board. During the year ended October 31, 2024, the Cambiar Opportunity, Cambiar SMID, Cambiar Small Cap and Cambiar International Equity were allocated CCO fees totaling $10,434, $5,264, $3,273 and $4,314, respectively.

 

SS&C Global Investor & Distribution Solutions, Inc. serves as transfer agent for the Funds under the transfer agency agreement with the Trust. The Funds earn cash management credits which are used to offset transfer agent expenses. During the year ended October 31, 2024, the Cambiar Opportunity, Cambiar SMID, Cambiar Small Cap and Cambiar International Equity earned credits of $18,346, $3,052, $3,417 and $6,885, respectively, which were used to offset transfer agent expenses. These amounts are listed as “Fees Paid Indirectly” on the Statements of Operations.

 

U.S. Bank, N.A. serves as custodian (the “Custodian”) for the Funds. The Custodian plays no role in determining the investment policies of the Funds or which securities are to be purchased and sold by the Funds.

6. Federal Tax Information:

 

The timing and characterization of certain income and capital gains distributions are determined annually in accordance with federal tax regulations which may differ from U.S. GAAP. These book/tax differences may be temporary or permanent in nature. The permanent differences are primarily attributable to reclassification of long term capital gain distributions on REITs, merger adjustments with Great Lakes funds and foreign currency translations. The permanent differences that are credited or charged to Paid-in Capital and Distributable Earnings as of October 31, 2024 is primarily related to merger adjustments with the Great Lakes Funds.

 

Accordingly, the following reclassifications that have been made to/from the following accounts:

The difference between book-basis and tax-basis unrealized appreciation (depreciation) is due to differences in the timing of recognition of gains and losses on investments for tax and book purposes. The Funds' net unrealized appreciation/(depreciation) difference is attributable primarily to wash sales.

 

The Federal tax cost and aggregate gross unrealized appreciation and depreciation on investments for Federal income tax purposes at October 31, 2024, were as follows:

7. Concentrated Risks:

 

At October 31, 2024, the net assets of the Cambiar International Equity Fund were substantially comprised of foreign denominated securities and/or currency. Changes in currency exchange rates will affect the value of, and investment income from, such securities and currency.

 

Foreign security and currency transactions may involve certain considerations and risks not typically associated with those of U.S. dollar denominated transactions as a result of, among other factors, the possibly lower level of governmental supervision and regulation of foreign securities markets and the possibility of political or economic instability.

 

The foregoing is not intended to be a complete discussion of the risks associated with investing in a Fund. Please review each Fund’s current prospectus for additional disclosures regarding the principal risks associated with investing in a Fund.

 

8. Indemnifications

 

In the normal course of business, the Funds enter into contracts that provide general indemnifications. The Funds’ maximum exposure under these arrangements is dependent on future claims that may be made against the Funds and, therefore, cannot be established; however, based on experience, the risk of loss from such claims is considered remote.

 

9. Line of Credit:

 

The Funds entered into an agreement on July 29, 2024, which enables them to participate in a $100 million uncommitted, secured, revolving line of credit with the Custodian. The agreement expires on July 28, 2025. The proceeds from the borrowings shall be used to provide temporary liquidity to the Funds as necessary in order to meet shareholder redemption needs. Interest is charged to the Funds based on the outstanding principal balance of the borrowings at an annual rate equal to the Custodian’s then current prime-lending rate. The Funds’ holdings serve as collateral against any borrowings under the line of credit.

11. Fund Merger:

 

At a meeting held on May 23, 2022, the Trust's Board considered a proposal for the reorganization three series of the Managed Portfolio Series trust (the “Acquired Funds”) into two series of the Trust managed by Cambiar (the “Acquiring Funds”). Specifically, the Board approved the reorganization of the Great Lakes Large Cap Value Fund and the Great Lakes Disciplined Equity Fund into the Cambiar Opportunity Fund, and the Great Lakes Small Cap Opportunity Fund into the Cambiar Small Cap Fund (together, the “Reorganization”). The investment objectives of the Acquired Funds were to seek total return, while the Cambiar Opportunity Fund's investment objective is to seek total return and capital preservation, and the Cambiar Small Cap Fund seeks long-term appreciation. The principal investment strategies of the Acquired Funds and Acquiring Funds shared a number of similarities.

 

The Board of Trustees of the Managed Portfolio Series trust determined that the Reorganization was in the best interest of the Acquired Funds' shareholders and approved an Agreement and Plan of Reorganization (the “Plan of Reorganization”), which was subsequently approved by the Trust's Board on May 23, 2022. The transfer of shareholder assets under the Reorganization was tax-free, meaning that neither the shareholders of the Acquired Funds nor the Acquiring Funds realized any gains or losses for federal income tax purposes as a result of the transaction. The Reorganization occurred following the close of business on December 9, 2022, whereby the assets and the stated liabilities of the Acquired Funds were transferred to the corresponding Acquiring Funds.

12. New Accounting Pronouncement:

 

In November 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2023-07 (“ASU 2023-07”), Segment Reporting (“Topic 280”). ASU 2023-07 clarifies the guidance in Topic 280, which requires public entities to provide disclosures of significant segment expenses and other segment items. The guidance requires public entities to provide in interim periods all disclosures about a reportable segment’s profit or loss and assets that are currently required annually and also applies to public entities with a single reportable segment. Entities are permitted to disclose more than one measure of a segment’s profit or loss if such measures are used by the Chief Operating Decision Maker to allocate resources and assess performance, as long as at least one of those measures is determined in a way that is most consistent with the measurement principles used to measure the corresponding amounts in the consolidated financial statements. The amendments in ASU 2023-07 are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024. Early adoption is permitted. Management is currently evaluating the implications, if any, of the additional requirements and their impact on a Fund’s financial statements.

 

13. 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.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

 

To the Board of Trustees of The Advisors’ Inner Circle Fund and the Shareholders of Cambiar Opportunity Fund, Cambiar SMID Fund, Cambiar Small Cap Fund, and Cambiar International Equity Fund

 

Opinion on the Financial Statements

 

We have audited the accompanying statements of assets and liabilities of Cambiar Opportunity Fund, Cambiar SMID Fund, Cambiar Small Cap Fund, and Cambiar International Equity Fund (collectively referred to as the “Funds”) (four of the funds constituting The Advisors’ Inner Circle Fund (the “Trust”)), including the schedules of investments, as of October 31, 2024, and the related statements of operations for the year then ended, the statements of changes in net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended, the financial highlights for each of the five years in the period then ended and the related notes (collectively referred to as the “financial statements”). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of each of the Funds (four of the funds constituting The Advisors’ Inner Circle Fund) at October 31, 2024, the results of their operations for the year then ended, the changes in their net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended and their financial highlights for each of the five years in the period then ended, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

 

Basis for Opinion

 

These financial statements are the responsibility of the Trust’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on each of the Funds’ financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) ("PCAOB") and are required to be independent with respect to the Trust in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

 

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Trust is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of the Trust’s internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audits, we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Trust’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.

 

Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of October 31, 2024, by correspondence with the custodians and brokers; when replies were not received from brokers, we performed other auditing procedures. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

 

 

 

We have served as the auditor of one or more Cambiar Investors investment companies since 2005.

APPROVAL OF INVESTMENT ADVISORY AGREEMENT (UNAUDITED) (FORM N-CSR ITEM 11)

 

Pursuant to Section 15 of the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the “1940 Act”), the Funds’ advisory agreement (the “Agreement”) must be renewed at least annually after its initial two-year term: (i) by the vote of the Board of Trustees (the “Board” or the “Trustees”) of The Advisors’ Inner Circle Fund (the “Trust”) or by a vote of a majority of the shareholders of the Funds; and (ii) by the vote of a majority of the Trustees 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 renewal.

 

A Board meeting was held on May 20–21, 2024 to decide whether to renew the Agreement for an additional one-year term. In preparation for the meeting, the Trustees requested that the Adviser furnish information necessary to evaluate the terms of the Agreement. Prior to the meeting, the Independent Trustees of the Funds met to review and discuss the information provided and submitted a request for additional information to the Adviser, and information was provided in response to this request. The Trustees used this information, as well as other information that the Adviser and other service providers of the Funds presented or submitted to the Board at the meeting and other meetings held during the prior year, to help them decide whether to renew the Agreement for an additional year.

 

Specifically, the Board requested and received written materials from the Adviser and other service providers of the Funds regarding: (i) the nature, extent and quality of the Adviser’s services; (ii) the Adviser’s investment management personnel; (iii) the Adviser’s operations and financial condition; (iv) the Adviser’s brokerage practices (including any soft dollar arrangements) and investment strategies; (v) the Funds’ advisory fees paid to the Adviser and overall fees and operating expenses compared with peer groups of mutual funds; (vi) the level of the Adviser’s profitability from its relationship with the Funds, including both direct and indirect benefits accruing to the Adviser and its affiliates; (vii) the Adviser’s potential economies of scale; (viii) the Adviser’s compliance program, including a description of material compliance matters and material compliance violations; (ix) the Adviser’s policies on and compliance procedures for personal securities transactions; and (x) the Funds’ performance compared with peer groups of mutual funds and the Funds’ benchmark indices.

 

Representatives from the Adviser, along with other Fund service providers, presented additional information and participated in question and answer sessions at the Board meeting to help the Trustees evaluate the Adviser’s services, fees and other aspects of the Agreement. The Independent Trustees received advice from independent counsel and met in executive sessions outside the presence of Fund management and the Adviser.

 

At the Board meeting, the Trustees, including all of the Independent Trustees, based on their evaluation of the information provided by the Adviser and other service providers of the Funds, renewed the Agreement. In considering the renewal of the Agreement, the Board considered various factors that they determined were relevant, including: (i) the nature, extent and quality of the services provided by the Adviser; (ii) the investment performance of the Funds and the Adviser; (iii) the costs of the services provided and profits realized by the Adviser from its relationship with the Funds, including both direct and indirect benefits accruing to the Adviser and its affiliates; (iv) the extent to which economies of scale are being realized by the Adviser; and (v) whether fee levels reflect such economies of scale for the benefit of Fund investors, as discussed in further detail below.

 

Nature, Extent and Quality of Services Provided by the Adviser

 

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

 

The Trustees also considered other services provided to the Funds by the Adviser such as selecting broker-dealers for executing portfolio transactions, monitoring adherence to the Funds’ investment restrictions, and monitoring compliance with various Fund policies and procedures and with applicable securities laws and regulations. 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 provided to the Funds by the Adviser were sufficient to support renewal of the Agreement.

 

Investment Performance of the Funds and the Adviser

 

The Board was provided with regular reports regarding the Funds’ performance over various time periods. The Trustees also reviewed reports prepared by the Funds’ administrator comparing the Funds’ performance to their benchmark indices and peer groups of mutual funds as classified by Lipper, an independent provider of investment company data, over various periods of time. Representatives from the Adviser provided information regarding and led discussions of factors impacting the performance of the Funds, outlining current market conditions and explaining their expectations and strategies for the future. The Trustees determined that the Funds’ performance was satisfactory, or, where the Funds’ performance was materially below their benchmarks and/or peer groups, the Trustees were satisfied by the reasons for the underperformance and/or the steps taken by the Adviser in an effort to improve the performance of the Funds. Based on this information, the Board concluded, within the context of its full deliberations, that the investment results that the Adviser had been able to achieve for the Funds were sufficient to support renewal of the Agreement.

Costs of Advisory Services, Profitability and Economies of Scale

 

In considering the advisory fees payable by the Funds to the Adviser, the Trustees reviewed, among other things, a report of the advisory fees paid to the Adviser. The Trustees also reviewed reports prepared by the Funds’ administrator comparing the Funds’ net and gross expense ratios and advisory fees to those paid by peer groups of mutual funds as classified by Lipper. The Trustees reviewed the management fees charged by the Adviser to other clients with comparable mandates to certain Funds. The Trustees considered any differences in management fees and took into account the respective demands, resources and complexity associated with such Funds and other client accounts as well as the extensive regulatory, compliance and tax regimes to which the Funds are subject. The Board concluded, within the context of its full deliberations, that the advisory fees were reasonable in light of the nature and quality of the services rendered by the Adviser.

 

The Trustees reviewed the costs of services provided by and the profits realized by the Adviser from its relationship with the Funds, including both direct benefits and indirect benefits, such as research and brokerage services received under soft dollar arrangements, accruing to the Adviser and its affiliates. The Trustees considered how the Adviser’s profitability was affected by factors such as its organizational structure and method for allocating expenses. The Trustees concluded that the profit margins of the Adviser with respect to the management of the Funds were not unreasonable. The Board also considered the Adviser’s commitment to managing the Funds and its willingness to continue its expense limitation and fee waiver arrangements with the Funds.

 

The Trustees considered the Adviser’s views relating to economies of scale in connection with the Funds as Fund assets grow and the extent to which the benefits of any such economies of scale are shared with the Funds and Fund shareholders. The Board considered the existence of any economies of scale and whether those were passed along to the Funds’ shareholders through a graduated advisory fee schedule or other means, including fee waivers. The Trustees recognized that economies of scale are difficult to identify and quantify and are rarely identifiable on a fund-by-fund basis. Based on this evaluation, the Board concluded that the advisory fee was reasonable in light of the information that was provided to the Trustees by the Adviser with respect to economies of scale.

 

Renewal of the 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 Agreement, including the fees payable thereunder, were fair and reasonable and agreed to renew the Agreement for another year. 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.
