LETTER TO SHAREHOLDERS

Dear Shareholders:

Global stock markets ended 2019 on a high note, with the global MSCI ACWI Index returning 8.95% and 26.60% for the fourth quarter and full year, respectively, and the domestic S&P 500 Index returning 9.06% and 31.49% for the same periods. It was a "risk on" year with even U.S. investment grade bonds delivering 14.23% for the year, approximately in line with the high yield bond market's 14.41% performance.¹ The FPA Crescent Fund, or the Fund, increased 5.69% and 20.02% for 2019's fourth quarter and full year, underperforming the average of its two comparative equity indices at 9.01% and 29.04% for the fourth quarter and full year, respectively.

Long equities held by the Fund returned 9.76% and 31.53% in the fourth quarter and for the full year, respectively, outperforming the MSCI ACWI and S&P 500 indices.² Including a small amount of other risk assets and cash it held, the Fund beat its own risk exposure by generating 68.9% of the market's return in 2019 ("market" is average of the 2019 returns for MSCI ACWI and S&P 500 indices) with 68.4% of its capital at risk, on average, during the year.³

Portfolio

The Fund has unusual breadth, having the ability to invest in more diverse regions, sectors and asset classes than almost any other mutual fund. Yet we will only commit capital when we have determined that upside opportunity exceeds downside risk. If we believe prices are attractive, we buy. If not, we hold or sell. Importantly, we don't (because we can't) try and pick market tops or bottoms.

Santa left coal in our stockings at Christmas 2018 as global markets swooned. Like good little children, we did the right thing and took advantage of lower prices, increasing the Fund's risk exposure by approximately ten percentage points in the second half of 2018. Then Christmas came early last year as markets rebounded, ultimately reaching new highs. We similarly took advantage of rising prices in 2019 and reduced or sold positions that we could no longer justify holding at given valuations, and therefore ended the year with 9.2% less risk exposure.

The U.S. continued to outperform international markets, which has made foreign domiciled companies marginally less expensive, all else being equal. At the end of the year, the S&P 500 trailing price-to-earnings ratio, or P/E, was 21.6x, higher than the 19.8x of the MSCI ACWI. The international component of the MSCI ACWI traded at a P/E of 17.4x at year end. This almost 20% discount to U.S. stocks helps to explain why the Fund's exposure to international companies has increased. At year-end, the Fund had 35.4% of net equity invested outside the U.S., six percentage points higher than at the end of 2018.

The Fund's shareholders have entrusted us to decide when upside opportunity surpasses downside risk. The Fund's investment exposure will therefore swing between more and less invested. While the Fund was less invested in 2019, we have no doubt that in the future we will deploy more of its capital.

We continue to focus on companies that have at least a small breeze at their backs and avoid those businesses with wind in their faces. Over time, we generally expect the companies we own to sell an increasing number of units as well as have at least enough pricing power to offset cost inflation.

Contributors to and detractors from the Fund's trailing 12-month returns are listed in the following table.

Exhibit A: Contributors and Detractors⁴

Contributors	Performance Contribution			Percent of Portfolio			Detractors	Performance Contribution			Percent of Portfolio

Our investment in the cable industry via Charter Communications (up approximately 70%) along with Comcast (up approximately 34%) were two notable contributors in 2019.⁵ We made these investments in mid-2018, when many investors were concerned that subscribers would cut the cord in favor of streaming and when wireless 5G threatened to damage these companies' dominant broadband franchise. Our belief remains that while video will continue to shrink, video is less profitable on a cash basis than many believe it to be. Thus, we think broadband should remain vibrant, as it is likely to take many years and many billions of dollars before

the potential impact of the competitive threats is known. The market has sidled over to our thinking on this, at least for the time being.

American International Group's (AIG) stock lost 32% in 2018, including dividends, negatively impacting the Fund's performance in that year. In 2019, however, it delivered a total return of 34%.⁵ The company's multi-year turnaround efforts are finally bearing fruit, and the market has begun to take notice. The Fund further benefited by increasing its stake to take advantage of price weakness in late 2018. If AIG's return on capital continues to improve, as we expect, the company should trade at a similar price-to-tangible book value multiple as its peers. Were that to be the case, we can see its stock trading at $70 to $80 in the next couple of years, a healthy premium to its closing price of $51.33 at the end of 2019. As value investors, AIG is emblematic of so many of our investments that underperform on their way to outperforming.

Glencore shares were under pressure on the back of commodity weakness and regulatory concerns. We continue to think the shares at a single-digit free cash multiple represent compelling value.

The other four detractors have all been discussed previously. Please refer to previous commentaries for additional information.

Investing

Value investing means investing with a margin of safety so if all doesn't go according to plan, whether ours or a company's, then investors may nonetheless come out close to whole. This may mean having the protection of business and/or balance sheet, but without that protection, the emperor wakes up one day to realize he's not wearing clothes.

Being a value investor in 2019 was like wearing a crew cut in Haight Ashbury in 1969 — not only do you stand-out, you invite a bit of ridicule. We value investors must not acquiesce to the fear of missing out, however, and instead make our peace with a different kind of FOMO, the fate of missing out. To do well over long periods of time means accepting that we won't do well for lengths of time in between. We realize that has made us appear both smart and dumb at different moments in time, but our goal is to deliver over the long run rather than at any one point in time.

When all appears easy, it generally isn't. What we won't do is redefine value. We believe we can help ourselves and you by staying the course and continuing to invest bottoms up.

Taking a look from the top down, though, helps explain why we find it more challenging to unearth suitable investments today. We end up struggling to find great risk/rewards against the following backdrop.

Low interest rates and a lack of investment alternatives have lifted the price of risk assets globally. Global stock markets trade at or near their highs as a percent of their respective economies, as shown in Exhibit B.

Exhibit B: Stock Market as Percent of GDP⁶

Looking at the stock market from a price-to-earnings basis, it becomes clear that when earnings are smoothed, valuations have only been this high once before. This is shown in Exhibit C, using the Shiller P/E methodology that divides current price by ten-year average earnings, adjusted for inflation.

Exhibit C: Shiller P/E⁷

However, current P/E ratios are not so outlandish in the context of low interest rates and a reasonably good economy. Should rates remain low and economies avoid weakening measurably, markets could reasonably remain at today's elevated levels.

The long outperformance of growth stocks compared to value stocks has left value much less expensive, trading at a relative P/E that's about as low as we have ever seen it in our careers. This does not make value stocks cheap, just less pricey than growth stocks.

Exhibit D: P/E Spread — S&P 500 Value vs S&P 500⁸

In fact, value stocks have performed reasonably well over the last decade. The S&P 500 Value Index has compounded at a rate of 12.14%. Value investments just haven't done as well as growth stocks, which have annualized at 14.76%.⁹ However, growth stocks have outperformed their fundamentals, which has led to P/E multiple expansion, while value stocks have not. (Side note: The S&P 500 Value index had better 10-year earnings growth than the S&P 500 Growth index, but that is because it started at a point that was at its earnings nadir.)

Exhibit E: S&P 500 Growth vs Value¹⁰

S&P 500		18.9	x		18.0	x		21.6	x		19.8	x		10.1	%

S&P 500 Growth		18.4	x		17.8	x		27.4	x		24.6	x		9.0	%

Judging what a company is worth and where its stock should trade requires a great deal of interpretation. Analyzing a bond's performance is generally easier, as the most you can get as a return is the contracted amount, though an appreciation for the underlying company's solvency will cause one to accept a higher or lower yield.

'Credit investors' current acceptance of historically low yields reflects their greater concern for return than for risk, whether it be in investment grade, high yield or levered loans.

The investment grade, or IG, bond market today has the lowest yield and lowest credit quality in its history. For instance, lowly BBB credits have more than quadrupled in value. Low yield and low credit quality don't generally go hand in hand. In addition, at 7.9 years, the IG market has the longest duration in its history.¹¹ Any increase in interest rates or spread will therefore have a larger impact than has been the case previously.

Exhibit F: BBB: Market Size and Percent of Investment Grade Market¹²

The levered loan market has trebled from $527 billion to $1.5 trillion over the last ten years and yields just 6.2%. Cracks are beginning to show. About 4% of the leveraged loan universe was trading below 80 cents on the dollar at the end of the year, versus just 2% in May 2019.¹³ We suspect that busted levered loans will be a future opportunity under the Fund's broad mandate.

The high yield segment of the credit market has been important to the Fund since its inception. Today, however, we are not getting paid anywhere near enough to invest broadly in high yield. We said the same thing a year ago — and the high yield market soared. But more than half of its 14% return came from tighter spreads and lower yields due to a decline in interest rates.¹⁴ We were under no illusion that just because we didn't think

the risk/reward then in high yield was attractive, the market would collapse, and we don't mean to suggest it will collapse now. We do want to make sure that a prospective return justifies the risk assumed. As much as that wasn't the case a year ago, we believe it is even less so now. We offer five good reasons why we believe that high yield should be avoided.

1.  Low yields: Trading at 5.4%, near its lowest all-time yield. (Exhibit G)

2.  Narrow spreads: Current spread over Treasuries is 3.7%, well below average. (Exhibit G)

3.  Lower credit quality: Leverage and interest coverage metrics of corporate America, using Bloomberg Barclays US Corporate High Yield Index as a proxy, are at a low which is particularly unusual because the economy is relatively robust. (Exhibit H)

4.  Weak covenants: About as weak as they've ever been. Weaker covenants give the advantage to the borrower. (Exhibit I)

5.  Larger credit market: The corporate bond market has grown from $4.3 trillion to $9.4 trillion in the last decade. The high yield and levered loan components of it have almost doubled from $1.5 trillion to $2.8 trillion. (Exhibit J)

It has recently been a tale of two high yield markets, in which the good credits have gotten better and the bad haven't seen much price movement. Spreads of better high-yield bonds have tightened, and at year-end almost one third of the stocks tracked in the ICE BofA U.S. High Yield Index trade at yields less than 4.0%. On the other hand, spreads of CCC-rated and riskier bonds have remained flattish over the last 12 months.¹⁹ When interest rates increase and/or the economy weakens, there will be lots of opportunity. Reaching for yield will have the usual consequence. This time, the fallout might be magnified further because of the five reasons for caution listed above. If there is a run on the bank, we wonder at what clearing price a buyer will step in.

Also, the rise of passive funds adds another concern: At the end of 2019, there was $253 billion in corporate bond exchange traded funds, or ETFs, including $56 billion in high yield and $10 billion in levered loans.

Exhibit K: AUM of Corporate Bond Passive ETFs²⁰

Passive funds that invest in less liquid securities, such as small-cap stocks, high yield bonds, and levered loans, only offer the illusion of liquidity. They give their shareholders the ability to buy and sell daily, but the underlying securities these funds own can be quite illiquid. Any significant selling of high yield ETFs could cause lower-rated corporate bonds to hit a pricing air pocket with bids dropping precipitously. In this world of immediate gratification, investors are foregoing future yield for current yield and unwittingly accepting de facto illiquidity in the process.

We have knowingly accepted some illiquidity for a very small portion of the Fund's portfolio, investing in private credits, including non-publicly traded loans to private companies.²¹ We expect a higher yield for the lower liquidity, and that has been the case since 2009, when such investments have delivered approximately 14% weighted average return to the portfolio. Importantly, all of these loans have had first liens, with collateral coverage well in excess of the loan amount. We believe the higher yields and better asset coverage have made these private loans far less risky than the broader high yield bond market. With 30 loans and more than $650 million invested since 2009, the Fund has yet to experience a loss on any. We will continue to make such

loans, but given that we manage a public fund with daily liquidity, we seek to mitigate the potential for forced selling by keeping these less liquid positions small.²²

Economy and Macro

We offer limited value when speaking of the larger global macro environment, so here we provide only a skeletal view to help explain the challenge in finding good investments today.

As David Rosenberg of Gluskin Sheff pointed out, "In a normal cycle, the stock market has a correlation of roughly 60% with the economy. The other 40% is explained by factors like valuations, sentiment, technicals and momentum. This cycle was literally off the charts in that respect — because only 7% of this entire bull market was due to the economy. And that's a good thing if you are long the stock market because this did go down as the weakest economic expansion on record and yet one of the most powerful bull markets ever." Mr. Gluskin concluded, "The fundamentals do win out in the end, but it could take time."²³

We don't think the stock market's link to the economy has been severed, but it has at least been largely suspended. When and how deep a future recession might be and how the market might react remain open questions. Risk does seem skewed to the downside today.

The show goes on as long as the government puppet masters allow, or when the audience leaves. The U.S. deficit climbed just over $1 trillion in 2019, despite a growing economy and the tightest labor market on record. Central banks have successfully inflated asset prices but failed to ignite real economic activity. Most Americans are not better off today than they were a decade ago.

Extremely low interest rates continue to pervert capital allocation decisions. Whether or not to buy a piece of equipment, repurchase shares, or make an acquisition, a lower cost of capital can improve an otherwise impractical or marginal decision. This doesn't seem likely to change anytime soon. The global monetization experiment took a pause but has since restarted, and a more expansive fiscal policy is under discussion.

Indebted governments, companies and individuals have recalibrated to this low level of rates. When or if rates eventually rise, many of these same parties may find their finances dangerously askew.

One only need to look east for a recent example of the failure of low interest rates to keep markets elevated. Japan cut interest rates throughout the 1990s and has kept them low ever since. Despite that, Japan's Nikkei stock index declined more than 40% four times between 1990 and 2009. Low interest rates are not a panacea and can present or mask other problems.

Debt accumulation at the sovereign, corporate, consumer and state and local levels has bought economic growth, but at an as-yet-to-be-determined cost. Debt has grown far faster than the gross domestic product ("GDP") in the U.S., a situation that can't mathematically endure unabated. Since 2009, U.S. federal debt has increased by $10.8 trillion, helping to buy $6.9 trillion in GDP growth. The EU and Japan have similarly been borrowing to buy GDP, as depicted below (Exhibit L).

Exhibit L: Growth in GDP and Government Debt Since 2009²⁴

At the end of 2019, the U.S. national debt stood at over $23 trillion, exceeding the country's estimated $21.4 trillion GDP. The chart below shows that, using GDP as a proxy for income, the return on investment for U.S. spending has declined for decades and is now as low as it has ever been. As a nation, we are getting less while paying more.

Corporate debt growth has been another contributor to U.S. GDP growth, almost trebling since 2008 without a commensurate increase in GDP. Relative to the size of our economy, we now have more debt on corporate books than at any point in time in history (Exhibits J and N). In good times, leverage enhances corporate earnings, but the opposite is true in an economic downturn.

Exhibit N: US Corporate Debt as Percent of GDP²⁶

Not wanting to be left out, households have joined the debt accumulation party. Consumer debt is now at an all-time high in dollars and as a percent of GDP. Superficially, household debt growth doesn't appear so terrible, but that perception is biased by the fact that non-housing debt has grown much faster than mortgage debt and only 64% of households own a home.

Increasing auto, student and credit card loans continue to propel the economy as they reach new heights. Non-housing debt balances have been increasing faster than income and now sit at $32,035 per household. Unlike governments, individuals must one day repay their debts.²⁷

Exhibit O: Non-Housing Debt Balance²⁸

Simply, the average American's finances are getting strained. Take auto loans as an example. Car buyers have stretched their auto loans over longer periods so that they can buy the car they want, or just to buy a car at all.

Experian reported in the first quarter of 2019 that the average term for a new car loan is 68.9 months, with the term of more than one third of new vehicle loans longer than 73 months and with a few as long as 96 months.²⁹ The credit rating agency also stated that the average initial term for a used car loan is 64.7 months — and that's for a car that's already a few years old. Some 20% of used car loans are for longer than 73 months. Thus, the average used car buyer will still be paying off a loan for a car that's more than eight years old — and Consumer Reports sets the average life of a new car at only about eight years.³⁰

Debt accumulation in the form of unfunded liabilities also will likely pose a problem in the future, but that problem might lie well beyond a typical investment horizon. Nevertheless, it's good to understand the current state of affairs.

Almost three quarters of state and local pensions in the U.S. are underfunded, despite optimistic assumptions about the expected return on plan assets.³¹ The state pension funding gap alone is arguably understated by $1.3 trillion or so.

Exhibit P: Funded Ratios for State Pension Plans³²

The U.S. also has an estimated $122 trillion of unfunded federal liabilities, including Social Security and Medicare.³³ Unfunded federal, state and local liabilities could be mitigated by higher taxes and changes to benefits. These politically painful options, if implemented, would likely prove an economic obstacle. We will inevitably come upon a time when we will be forced to live within our means, and the consequences, at least for a time, will not benefit the stock market.

³¹  Take our local CalPers (California Public Employee Retirement System) as an example. It reported its funded status as of its fiscal year end 6/30/2019 at about 70%, but that's with optimistic assumptions (6.7% expected net return; ~7% discount rate; expected life span, etc.). With plan assets at about $370bn at the end of their fiscal year, at 70% funding? $529bn Pension Benefit Obligations (PBO), which means $159bn underfunding. If its portfolio averages just 1% less in return, then its underfunding would grow to 38-39%, or ~$30bn.

Conclusion

We will continue to seek to capitalize when equities (both domestic and foreign) and credit (mostly public but some private) are ripe. If not, we shall maintain our more conservative posture. There are those who take liquidity and those who provide it. We prefer to be the latter, a function of temperament and having cash on hand for investment.

We look for shareholder partners of a like mind, those who also prefer an equity-like rate of return over time while trying to avoid a permanent impairment of capital.

We try to field a balanced team, playing both offense and defense. Since we believe that the stock market will generally rise over time, we do tilt more towards offense but not indiscriminately. If we are given lemons we will make lemonade, but we can't even do that if there's a drought.

It is generally psychologically easier to invest when a rising market validates an investor's purchases. We take greater comfort when choppier markets challenge an investor's conviction, even more so when a lower price follows each new purchase. For now anyway, it seems to be buy high and sell higher.

(1)  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 or underlying investments comprising the referenced index or (ii) receive a net settlement amount in the form of cash or investments equal to the notional amount of the swap less the recovery value of the referenced obligation or underlying investments comprising the referenced index.

(2)  The maximum potential amount the Fund could be required to pay as a seller of credit protection or receive as a buyer of credit protection if a credit event occurs as defined under the terms of that particular swap agreement.

(3)  The quoted market prices and resulting values for credit default swap agreements on credit indices serve as an indicator of the current status of the payment/performance risk and represent the expected amount paid or received for the credit derivative had the notional amount of the swap agreement been closed/sold as of year-end. Increasing values (buy protection) or decreasing values (sell protection), when compared to the notional amount of the swap, represent a deterioration of the referenced entity's credit soundness and a greater likelihood of risk of default or other credit event occurring as defined under the terms of the agreement.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

December 31, 2019

NOTE 1 — Significant Accounting Policies

FPA Crescent Fund (the "Fund"), a series of the FPA Funds Trust, is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940 as an open-end, diversified, management investment company. The Fund's investment objective is to seek to generate equity-like returns over the long-term, take less risk than the market and avoid permanent impairment of capital. The Fund qualifies as an investment company pursuant to Financial Accounting Standard Board (FASB) Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) No. 946, Financial Services — Investment Companies. The following is a summary of significant accounting policies consistently followed by the Fund in the preparation of its financial statements.

A.  Security Valuation

The Fund's investments are reported at fair value as defined by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, ("U.S. GAAP"). The Fund generally determines its net asset value as of approximately 4:00 p.m. New York time each day the New York Stock Exchange is open. Further discussion of valuation methods, inputs and classifications can be found under Disclosure of Fair Value Measurements.

B.  Securities Transactions and Related Investment Income

Securities transactions are accounted for on the date the securities are purchased or sold. Dividend income and distributions to shareholders are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Interest income and expenses are recorded on an accrual basis. The books and records of the Fund are maintained in U.S. dollars as follows: (1) the foreign currency fair value of investment securities, and other assets and liabilities stated in foreign currencies, are translated using the daily spot rate; and (2) purchases, sales, income and expenses are translated at the rate of exchange prevailing on the respective dates of such transactions. The resultant exchange gains and losses are included in net realized or net unrealized gain (loss) in the Statement of Operations. A detailed listing of outstanding currency transactions is included in the Portfolio of Investments, in Investment Securities in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities and in Disclosure of Fair Value Measurements.

C.  Use of Estimates

The preparation of the financial statements in accordance with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

D.  Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In August 2018, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2018-13, Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820) — Disclosure Framework — Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurement. The amendments eliminate certain disclosure requirements for fair value measurements for all entities, requires public entities to disclose certain new information and modifies some disclosure requirements. The new guidance is effective for all entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019 and for interim periods within those fiscal years. An entity is permitted to early adopt either the entire standard or only the provisions that eliminate or modify requirements. The Adviser is currently evaluating the impact of this new guidance on the Fund's financial statements.

NOTE 2 — Risk Considerations

Investing in the Fund may involve certain risks including, but not limited to, those described below.

Market Risk: Because the values of the Fund's investments will fluctuate with market conditions, so will the value of your investment in the Fund. You could lose money on your investment in the Fund or the Fund could underperform other investments.

44

FPA CRESCENT FUND

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)

Common Stocks and Other Securities (Long): The prices of common stocks and other securities held by the Fund may decline in response to certain events taking place around the world, including; those directly involving companies whose securities are owned by the Fund; conditions affecting the general economy; overall market changes; local, regional or global political, social or economic instability; and currency, interest rate and commodity price fluctuations.

Common Stocks and Other Securities (Short): The prices of common stocks and other securities sold short rise between the date of the short sale and the date on which the Fund replaces the borrowed security. In addition, the Fund repays the person that lent it the security for any interest or dividends that may have accrued.

Interest Rate and Credit Risk: The values of, and the income generated by, most debt securities held by the Fund may be affected by changing interest rates and by changes in the effective maturities and credit rating of these securities. For example, the value of debt securities in the Fund's portfolio generally will decline when interest rates rise and increase when interest rates fall. In addition, 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. The values of any of the Fund's investments may also decline in response to events affecting the issuer or its credit rating. The lower rated debt securities in which the Fund may invest are considered speculative and are generally subject to greater volatility and risk of loss than investment grade securities, particularly in deteriorating economic conditions.

Repurchase Agreements: Repurchase agreements permit the Fund to maintain liquidity and earn income over periods of time as short as overnight. Repurchase agreements held by the Fund are fully collateralized by U.S. Government securities, or securities issued by U.S. Government agencies, or securities that are within the three highest credit categories assigned by established rating agencies (Aaa, Aa, or A by Moody's or AAA, AA or A by Standard & Poor's) or, if not rated by Moody's or Standard & Poor's, are of equivalent investment quality as determined by the Adviser. Such collateral is in the possession of the Fund's custodian. The collateral is evaluated daily to ensure its fair value equals or exceeds the current fair value of the repurchase agreements including accrued interest. In the event of default on the obligation to repurchase, the Fund has the right to liquidate the collateral and apply the proceeds in satisfaction of the obligation.

The Fund may enter into repurchase agreements, under the terms of a Master Repurchase Agreement ("MRA"). The MRA permits the Fund, under certain circumstances including an event of default (such as bankruptcy or insolvency), to offset payables and/or receivables under the MRA with collateral held and/or posted to the counterparty and create one single net payment due to or from the Fund. However, bankruptcy or insolvency laws of a particular jurisdiction may impose restrictions on or prohibitions against such a right of offset in the event of a MRA counterparty's bankruptcy or insolvency. Pursuant to the terms of the MRA, the Fund receives securities as collateral with a fair value in excess of the repurchase price to be received by the Fund upon the maturity of the repurchase transaction. Upon a bankruptcy or insolvency of the MRA counterparty, the Fund recognizes a liability with respect to such excess collateral to reflect the Fund's obligation under bankruptcy law to return the excess to the counterparty. Repurchase agreements outstanding at the end of the period are listed in the Fund's Portfolio of Investments.

NOTE 3 — Purchases and Sales of Investment Securities

Cost of purchases of investment securities (excluding short-term investments) aggregated $2,704,200,553 for the year ended December 31, 2019. The proceeds and cost of securities sold resulting in net realized gains of $413,989,963 aggregated $3,966,779,746 and $3,552,789,783, respectively, for the year ended December 31, 2019. Realized gains or losses are based on the specific identification method.

NOTE 4 — Federal Income Tax

No provision for federal income tax is required because the Fund has elected to be taxed as a "regulated investment company" under the Internal Revenue Code (the "Code") and intends to maintain this qualification and to distribute each year to its shareholders, in accordance with the minimum distribution requirements of the Code, its taxable net investment income and taxable net realized gains on investments.

Distributions paid to shareholders are based on net investment income and net realized gains determined on a tax reporting basis, which may differ from financial reporting.

For federal income tax purposes, the Fund had the following components of distributable earnings at December 31, 2019:

Unrealized appreciation	$	2,837,448,278
Undistributed capital gains		264,706,494

The tax status of distributions paid during the fiscal years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018 were as follows:

	2019		2018
Dividends from ordinary income	$	328,363,999	$	74,618,157
Distributions from long-term capital gains		326,077,643		1,129,518,774

The cost of investment securities held at December 31, 2019, was $11,328,650,802 for federal income tax purposes. Gross unrealized appreciation and depreciation for all investments at December 31, 2019, for federal income tax purposes was $3,315,346,681 and $477,888,731, respectively resulting in net unrealized appreciation of $2,837,457,950. As of and during the year ended December 31, 2019, the Fund did not have any liability for unrecognized tax benefits. The Fund recognizes interest and penalties, if any, related to unrecognized tax benefits as income tax expense in the Statement of Operations. During the year, the Fund did not incur any interest or penalties. The statute of limitations remains open for the last 3 years, once a return is filed. No examinations are in progress at this time.

During the year ended December 31, 2019, the Fund reclassified $1,824 from Paid in Capital to Distributable Earnings to align financial reporting to tax reporting. These permanent differences rose principally from differing book and tax treatment of prior period adjustments.

As of December 31, 2019, the Fund had no short-term or long-term capital loss carryforwards.

NOTE 5 — Advisory Fees and Other Affiliated Transactions

Pursuant to an Investment Advisory Agreement (the "Agreement"), advisory fees were paid by the Fund to First Pacific Advisors, LP (the "Adviser"). Under the terms of this Agreement, the Fund pays the Adviser a monthly fee calculated at the annual rate of 1.00% of the Fund's average daily net assets.

For the year ended December 31, 2019, the Fund paid aggregate fees and expenses of $411,332 to all Trustees who are not affiliated persons of the Adviser. Certain officers of the Fund are also officers of the Adviser.

NOTE 6 — Securities Sold Short

The Fund considers cash deposits held in connection with securities sold short to be restricted cash. The restriction will lapse when the related short positions are terminated. The Fund maintains cash deposits and

46

FPA CRESCENT FUND

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)

segregates marketable securities in amounts equal to the current fair value of the securities sold short or the fair value of the securities at the time they were sold short, whichever is greater. The Fund considers cash deposits held in connection with securities sold short to be restricted cash. The restriction will lapse when the related short positions are terminated. Possible losses from short sales may be unlimited, whereas losses from purchases cannot exceed the total amount invested. The dividends on securities sold short are reflected as short sale dividend expense.

NOTE 7 — Redemption Fees

A redemption fee of 2% applies to redemptions within 90 days of purchase. For the year ended December 31, 2019, the Fund collected $481,210 in redemption fees. The impact of these fees is less than $0.01 per share.

NOTE 8 — Disclosure of Fair Value Measurements

The Fund uses the following methods and inputs to establish the fair value of its assets and liabilities. Use of particular methods and inputs may vary over time based on availability and relevance as market and economic conditions evolve.

Equity securities are generally valued each day at the official closing price of, or the last reported sale price on, the exchange or market on which such securities principally are traded, as of the close of business on that day. If there have been no sales that day, equity securities are generally valued at the last available bid price. Securities that are unlisted and fixed-income and convertible securities listed on a national securities exchange for which the over-the-counter ("OTC") market more accurately reflects the securities' value in the judgment of the Fund's officers, are valued at the most recent bid price. Events occurring after the close of trading on non-U.S. exchanges may result in adjustments to the valuation of foreign securities to reflect their fair value as of the close of regular trading on the NYSE. The Fund may utilize an independent fair valuation service in adjusting the valuations of foreign securities. However, most fixed income securities are generally valued at prices obtained from pricing vendors and brokers. Vendors value such securities based on one or more of the following inputs: transactions, bids, offers quotations from dealers and trading systems, spreads and other relationships observed in the markets among comparable securities, benchmarks, underlying equity of the issuer, and proprietary pricing models such as cash flows, financial or collateral performance and other reference data (includes prepayments, defaults, collateral, credit enhancements, and interest rate volatility). Currency forwards are valued at the closing currency exchange rate which is not materially different from the forward rate. Short-term corporate notes with maturities of 60 days or less at the time of purchase are valued at amortized cost.

Securities for which representative market quotations are not readily available or are considered unreliable by the Adviser are valued as determined in good faith under procedures adopted by the authority of the Fund's Board of Trustees. Various inputs may be reviewed in order to make a good faith determination of a security's value. These inputs include, but are not limited to, the type and cost of the security; contractual or legal restrictions on resale of the security; relevant financial or business developments of the issuer; actively traded similar or related securities; conversion or exchange rights on the security; related corporate actions; significant events occurring after the close of trading in the security; and changes in overall market conditions. Investments in limited partnerships are valued, as a practical expedient, utilizing the net asset valuations provided by the underlying limited partnerships in a manner consistent with U.S. GAAP for investment companies. The Fund applies the practical expedient to its investments in limited partnerships on an investment-by-investment basis, and consistently with the Fund's entire position in a particular investment, unless it is probable that the Fund will sell a portion of an investment at an amount different from the net asset valuation. Investments in limited partnerships are included in Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy based on the limited rights of withdrawal by the

47

FPA CRESCENT FUND

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)

Fund as specified in the respective agreements. Fair valuations and valuations of investments that are not actively trading involve judgment and may differ materially from valuations of investments that would have been used had greater market activity occurred.

The Fund classifies its assets based on three valuation methodologies. Level 1 values are based on quoted market prices in active markets for identical assets. Level 2 values are based on significant observable market inputs, such as quoted prices for similar assets and quoted prices in inactive markets or other market observable inputs as noted above including spreads, cash flows, financial performance, prepayments, defaults, collateral, credit enhancements, and interest rate volatility. Level 3 values are based on significant unobservable inputs that reflect the Fund's determination of assumptions that market participants might reasonably use in valuing the assets. The valuation levels are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities. The following table presents the valuation levels of the Fund's investments as of December 31, 2019: (see Portfolio of Investments for industry categories):

*  Net realized and unrealized gains (losses) are included in the related amounts in the statement of operations.

Level 3 Valuation Process: Investments classified within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy are valued by the Adviser in good faith under procedures adopted by authority of the Fund's Board of Trustees. The Adviser employs various methods to determine fair valuations including regular review of key inputs and assumptions, and review of related market activity, if any. However, there are generally no observable trade activities in these securities. The Adviser reports to the Board of Trustees at their regularly scheduled quarterly meetings, or more often if warranted. The report includes a summary of the results of the process, the key inputs and assumptions noted, and any changes to the inputs and assumptions used. When appropriate, the Adviser will recommend changes to the procedures and process employed. The value determined for an investment using the fair value procedures may differ significantly from the value realized upon the sale of such investment. Transfers of investments between different levels of the fair value hierarchy are recorded at fair value as of the end of the reporting period. There were transfers of $1,737,928,280 from Level 2 to Level 1 during the year ended December 31, 2019. The transfers between Level 2 and Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy during the year ended December 31, 2019, were due to changes in valuation of international equity securities from the fair value price

to the exchange closing price. The following table summarizes the quantitative inputs and assumptions used for items categorized within Level 3 within the fair value hierarchy as of December 31, 2019:

Financial Assets	Fair Value at December 31, 2019			Valuation Technique(s)	Unobservable Inputs	Price/Range
Asset-Backed Securities — Marine Shipping	$	6,847,315		Most Recent Capitlization (Funding) (c)	Cost	$100.00

		96,027,274		Restricted Security (g)	Quotes/Prices	$20.19
Limited Partnerships	$	140,100,670		NAV as Practical Expedient (f)	N/A	$57.13-$95.25
		42,077,094		Discounted NAV (e)	Discount	$81.75-$92.19

(a)  The NAV provided by the administrator of the LLC is reported at depreciated cost. To adjust to fair value, the Fund obtains independent appraisals of the underlying fixed assets and adjusts the NAV based on the difference between the two values.

(b)  The Pricing Model technique for Level 3 securities involves preparing a proprietary broker price opinion (BPO) model using valuation information provided by the loan servicer based on local market resources and sales trends published by the National Association of Realtors, and a broker, and then applying an appropriate discount to that valuation. The discount reflects market conditions such as lack of liquidity of the investment, the costs associated with foreclosure and liquidation, the historical performance of the loan pool and the characteristics of the remaining loans including whether or not the loans are performing.

(c)  The significant unobservable inputs used in the fair value measurement of the Fund's Private Investment shares are based on its most recent funding. If the financial condition of the underlying assets were to deteriorate, or if the market comparables were to fall, the value of this investment could be lower.

(d)  The Third Party Broker Quote technique involves obtaining third-party broker quote for the security.

(e)  The NAV provided by the general partner has been discounted for the possible impact from various long-term exit strategies under consideration by the general partner.

(f)  No adjustments were made to the NAV provided by the administrator of the Limited Partnerships. Adjustments to the NAV would be considered if the practical expedient NAV was not as of Fund's measurement date; it was probable that the Limited Partnerships would be sold at a value materially different than the reported expedient NAV; or it was determined in accordance with the Fund's valuation procedures that the Limited Partnerships are not being reported at fair value.

(g)  The fair value of the investment is based on the most recently available last executed trade.

Options Contracts: An option contract is a commitment that gives the purchaser of the contract the right, but not the obligation, to buy or sell an underlying asset at a specific price on or before a specified future date. On the other hand, the writer of an option contract is obligated, upon the exercise of the option, to buy or sell an underlying asset at a specific price on or before a specified future date. A swaption is an option contract granting the owner the right to enter into an underlying swap. Inflation-capped options are options on U.S. inflation rates

51

FPA CRESCENT FUND

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)

at a stated strike price. The seller of an inflation-capped option receives an upfront premium and in return the buyer receives the right to receive a payment at the expiration of the option if the cumulative annualized inflation rate over the life of the option is above (for caps) or below (for floors) the stated strike price. The purpose of inflation-capped options is to protect the buyer from inflation erosion above a certain rate on a given notional exposure. A floor can be used to give downside protection to investments in inflation-linked products below a certain rate on a given notional exposure. Writing put options or purchasing call options tends to increase a Fund's exposure to the underlying instrument. Writing call options or purchasing put options tends to decrease a Fund's exposure to the underlying instrument. When a Fund writes or purchases a call, put, or inflation-capped option, an amount equal to the premium received or paid by the Fund is recorded as a liability or an investment, respectively, and subsequently adjusted to the current market value, based on the quoted daily settlement price of the option written or purchased. Certain options may be written or purchased with premiums to be determined on a future date. The premiums for these options are based upon implied volatility parameters at specified terms. Premiums received or paid from writing or purchasing options, which expire unexercised, are treated by a Fund on the expiration date as realized gains or losses. The difference between the premium and the amount paid or received on 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 realized is added to the cost of the purchase or proceeds from the sale in determining whether the Fund has realized a gain or loss on investment transactions. A Fund, as a writer of an option, may have no control over whether the underlying instrument may be sold (call) or purchased (put) and as a result bears the market risk of an unfavorable change in the price of the underlying written option. In addition, an illiquid market may make it difficult for a Fund to close out an option contract. The maximum risk of loss associated with writing put options is limited to the exercised fair value of the option contract. The maximum risk of loss associated with writing call options is potentially unlimited. Listed option contracts present minimal counterparty credit risk since they are exchange traded and the exchange's clearinghouse, as counterparty to all exchange-traded options, guarantees the options against default. A Fund's maximum risk of loss from counterparty credit risk related to OTC option contracts is limited to the premiums paid.

Forward foreign currency contracts: Forward foreign currency contracts are agreements to exchange one currency for another at a future date and at a specified price. The Funds' transactions in forward foreign currency contracts are limited to transaction and portfolio hedging. The contractual amounts of forward foreign currency contracts do not necessarily represent the amounts potentially subject to risk. The measurement of the risks associated with these instruments is meaningful only when all related and offsetting transactions are considered and could exceed the net unrealized value shown in the tables below. Risks arise from the possible inability of counterparties to meet the terms of their contracts and from movements in currency values. Forward foreign currency contracts are valued daily at the foreign exchange rates as of the close of the New York Stock Exchange. Unrealized appreciation or depreciation on the contracts as measured by the difference between the forward foreign exchange rates at the dates of entry into the contracts and the foreign exchange rates at the end of the period is included in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities under the caption "Forward Foreign Currency Contracts." Realized gains and losses and the net change in unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on forward foreign currency contracts for the year are included in the Statement of Operations under the caption "Forward Foreign Currency Contracts."

Credit Default Swaps: The Fund enters into credit default swap contracts for investment purposes and to manage its credit risk. Credit default swap agreements involve one party making a stream of payments (referred to as the buyer of protection) to another party (the seller of protection) in exchange for the right to receive a specified return in the event of a default or other credit event for the referenced entity, obligation or index. The Fund may purchase or sell protection. A seller of protection generally receives an upfront payment or periodic

52

FPA CRESCENT FUND

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)

payments throughout the term of the swap provided there is no credit event. Such periodic payments received are accrued daily and accounted for as realized gains. If a credit event occurs, as defined under the terms of the swap agreement, the Fund will either (i) pay to the buyer of protection an amount equal to the notional amount of the swap and take delivery of the referenced obligation or underlying securities comprising the 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 the referenced index. The buyer of protection generally pays an upfront premium or periodic payments throughout the term of the swap provided there is no credit event. Such periodic payments paid are accrued daily and accounted for as realized losses.

Entering into credit default swaps involves, to varying degrees, elements of credit, market and documentation risk in excess of the related amounts recognized in the Consolidated Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Such risks involve the possibility that there will be no liquid market for these agreements, that the counterparty to the agreements may default on its obligations to perform or disagree as to the meaning of the contractual terms in the agreements, and that there will be unfavorable changes in net interest rates.

NOTE 9 — Collateral Requirements

For derivatives traded under an International Swaps and Derivatives Association, Inc. Master Agreement ("ISDA Master Agreement"), the collateral requirements are typically calculated by netting the mark to market amount for each transaction under such agreement and comparing that amount to the value of any collateral currently pledged by a Fund and the counterparty. Cash collateral that has been pledged to cover obligations of a Fund and cash collateral received from the counterparty, if any, is reported separately on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities as cash pledged as collateral and cash received as collateral, respectively. Non-cash collateral pledged by a Fund, if any, is noted in the Portfolio of Investments. Generally, the amount of collateral due from or to a party is delivered to/pledged by the Fund on the next business day. Typically, the Fund and counterparties are not permitted to sell, repledge or use the collateral they receive. To the extent amounts due to the Fund from its counterparties are not fully collateralized, contractually or otherwise, the Fund bears the risk of loss from counterparty non-performance. The Fund attempts to mitigate counterparty risk by entering into agreements only with counterparties that it believes have the financial resources to honor their obligations and by monitoring the financial stability of those counterparties.

For financial reporting purposes, the Fund does not offset derivative assets and derivative liabilities that are subject to netting arrangements in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities.

FASB ASU No. 2011-11, Disclosures about Offsetting Assets and Liabilities, requires disclosures to make financial statements that are prepared under U.S. GAAP more comparable to those prepared under International Financial Reporting Standards. Under this guidance the Fund discloses both gross and net information about instruments and transactions eligible for offset such as instruments and transactions subject to an agreement similar to a master netting arrangement. In addition, the Fund discloses collateral received and posted in connection with master netting agreements or similar arrangements.  The following table presents the Fund's OTC derivative assets, liabilities and master repurchase agreements by counterparty net of amounts available for offset under an ISDA Master agreement or similar agreements and net of the related collateral received or pledged by the Fund as of December 31, 2019:

FPA CRESCENT FUND
REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED
PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

TO THE SHAREHOLDERS AND
BOARD OF TRUSTEES OF FPA CRESCENT FUND

Opinion on the Financial Statements

We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities of FPA Crescent Fund (the "Fund") (one of the funds constituting the FPA Funds Trust (the "Trust")), including the portfolio of investments, as of December 31, 2019, the related statement of operations for the year then ended, the statement of changes in net assets and the financial highlights for each of the two years in the period then ended and the related notes (collectively referred to as the "financial statements"). The financial highlights for the years ended December 31, 2015, December 31, 2016, and December 31, 2017 were audited by another independent registered public accounting firm whose report, dated February 20, 2018, expressed an unqualified opinion on those financial highlights. In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Fund (one of the funds constituting the FPA Funds Trust) at December 31, 2019, the results of its operations for the year then ended, and the changes in its net assets and its financial highlights for each of the two 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 Fund's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Fund's financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) ("PCAOB") and are required to be independent with respect to the Fund in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

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

Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of December 31, 2019, by correspondence with the custodian and brokers or by other appropriate auditing procedures where replies from brokers were not received. 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 FPA investment companies since 2018.

FPA CRESCENT FUND
APPROVAL OF INVESTMENT ADVISORY AGREEMENT

(Unaudited)

Approval of the Advisory Agreement. At a meeting of the Board of Directors held on August 12, 2019, the Directors approved the continuation of the advisory agreement between the Fund and the Adviser (the "Advisory Agreement") for an additional one-year period through September 30, 2020, on the recommendation of the Independent Directors, who met in executive session on August 12, 2019 prior to the Board meeting to review and discuss the proposed continuation of the Advisory Agreement. The Board had also met on July 8, 2019, with the Independent Directors meeting separately prior to the Meeting in executive session with the management of the Adviser and then separately with independent counsel to evaluate the renewal of the Advisory Agreement. Prior to their July 8 meeting, the Independent Directors, through their independent counsel, had requested and received extensive materials prepared in connection with the review of the Advisory Agreements. The materials provided a broad range of information regarding the Fund, including a description of, among other matters, the terms of the Advisory Agreement; the services provided by the Adviser; the experience of the relevant investment personnel; the Fund's performance in absolute terms and as compared to the performance of peers and appropriate benchmark(s); the fees and expenses of the Fund in absolute terms and as compared to peers; and the profitability of the Adviser from serving as adviser to the Fund. Following their review at the July 8 meeting, the Independent Directors requested (through their independent counsel) and received supplemental information and responses to a number of questions relating to the materials provided by the Adviser.

In addition, the Board met regularly throughout the year and received information on a variety of topics that were relevant to its annual consideration of the renewal of the Advisory Agreement including, among other matters, Fund investment performance, compliance, risk management, liquidity, valuation, trade execution and other matters relating to Fund operations. The Independent Directors also had met with management of the Adviser (including key investment personnel) at their quarterly meetings as well as with management at other times between the quarterly meetings throughout the year. The materials specifically provided in connection with the annual review of the Advisory Agreement supplement the information received throughout the year.

At their regular Board meetings and executive sessions, the Independent Directors were also assisted by independent legal counsel. In addition to the materials provided by the Adviser, the Independent Directors received a legal memorandum from independent counsel that outlined, among other matters: the duties of the Independent Directors and relevant requirements under the 1940 Act; the general principles under state law relevant to considering the approval of advisory contracts; an adviser's fiduciary duty with respect to advisory agreements and compensation; the standards used by courts in determining whether investment advisers and investment company boards of trustees have fulfilled their duties; and factors to be considered by the Independent Directors when voting on advisory agreements. During executive session, independent legal counsel reviewed with the Independent Directors these duties, standards and factors summarized in the legal memorandum described above. The following paragraphs summarize the material information and factors considered by the Board and the Independent Directors, as well as the Directors' conclusions relative to such factors.

Nature, Extent and Quality of Services. The Board and the Independent Trustees considered information provided by the Adviser in response to their requests, as well as information provided throughout the year regarding: the Adviser and its staffing in connection with the Fund, including the Fund's portfolio managers and the number and quality of analysts the Adviser has hired who are under the direct supervision of the Fund's portfolio managers; the scope of services supervised and provided by the Adviser; and the absence of any significant service problems reported to the Board. The Independent Trustees especially noted the experience, length of service and the outstanding reputation of the Fund's portfolio managers: Steven Romick, who has managed the Fund since its inception in 1993, Mark Landecker, who joined the Adviser in 2009 and has served

59

FPA CRESCENT FUND
APPROVAL OF INVESTMENT ADVISORY AGREEMENT (Continued)

(Unaudited)

as portfolio manager since 2013 and Brian A. Selmo, who joined the Adviser in 2008 and has served as portfolio manager since 2013. The Board and the Independent Trustees concluded that the nature, extent and quality of services provided by the Adviser have benefitted and should continue to benefit the Fund and its shareholders.

Investment Performance. The Board and the Independent Trustees reviewed the overall investment performance of the Fund. They also received information from an independent consultant, Broadridge, regarding the Fund's performance relative to a peer group of flexible (domestic and international) funds selected by Broadridge (the "Peer Group"). The Board and the Independent Trustees considered the Adviser's representation that the Fund's investment strategy is significantly different from other funds in the Peer Group in that the Fund has a much broader universe of investment possibilities, which requires a greater degree of portfolio management effort on the part of the Adviser. The Board and the Independent Trustees also considered the Adviser's representation that no other Broadridge category or peer grouping adequately represents the breadth and style of investing performed by the Fund's portfolio managers on behalf of the Fund (as a report previously prepared for the Board by an independent consultant had concluded). The Board and the Independent Trustees also considered FPA's representation that the Fund's size did not impede its ability to manage the Fund. The Board and the Independent Trustees noted the Fund's strong long-term investment performance and low volatility of returns when compared to the Peer Group and concluded that the Fund's investment performance has been strong. The Board and the Independent Trustees noted the Fund outperformed its Peer Group median for the one- year period ending March 31, 2019, but underperformed its Peer Group median for the three-, five- and 10-year periods ending March 31, 2019. The Board and the Independent Trustees further noted the Fund underperformed the Fund's benchmark, S&P 500 Index, for the one-, three-, five- and 10-year periods ending March 31, 2019. They also noted that Broadridge has continued to give the Fund a "Gold" Analyst Rating. In addition, they considered a comparison of the Fund's performance to that of hedge funds managed by the Adviser in a similar style. The Board and the Independent Trustees concluded that the Adviser's continued management of the Fund's investments should benefit the Fund and its shareholders.

Advisory Fees and Fund Expenses; Comparison with Peer Group and Institutional Fees. The Board and the Independent Trustees considered information provided by the Adviser regarding the Fund's advisory fees and total expense levels. The Board and the Independent Trustees reviewed comparative information regarding fees and expenses for the mutual fund industry generally and for the Peer Group. The Board and the Independent Trustees noted that the Fund's current management fee rate and total expense ratio each ranked towards the higher end of those of the Peer Group. They considered the Adviser's representation that the Fund's broader investment strategy makes comparisons to the advisory fees of the funds in the Peer Group less relevant, noting the Adviser's representation that most of the funds in the Peer Group are traditional balanced funds with different investment objectives and strategies, generally encompassing bond components that traditionally have lower advisory fees. The Board and the Independent Trustees considered the fees charged by the Adviser for advising institutional accounts and hedge funds and for sub-advising other mutual funds and the Adviser's discussion of the differences between the services provided by the Adviser to the Fund and those provided by the Adviser to the sub-advised funds, institutional accounts, and hedge funds. The Board and the Independent Trustees concluded that the continued payment of advisory fees and expenses by the Fund to the Adviser was fair and reasonable and should continue to benefit the Fund and its shareholders.

Adviser Profitability and Costs. The Board and the Independent Trustees considered information provided by the Adviser regarding the Adviser's costs in providing services to the Fund, the profitability of the Adviser and the benefits to the Adviser from its relationship to the Fund. They reviewed and considered the Adviser's representations regarding its assumptions and methods of allocating certain costs, such as personnel costs, which constitute the Adviser's largest operating cost, overhead and trading costs with respect to the provision of

60

FPA CRESCENT FUND
APPROVAL OF INVESTMENT ADVISORY AGREEMENT (Continued)

(Unaudited)

investment advisory services. The Independent Trustees discussed with the Adviser the general process through which individuals' compensation is determined and then reviewed by the management committee of the Adviser, as well as the Adviser's methods for determining that its compensation levels are set at appropriate levels to attract and retain the personnel necessary to provide high quality professional investment advice. In evaluating the Adviser's profitability, they excluded certain distribution and marketing-related expenses. The Board and the Independent Trustees recognized that the Adviser is entitled under the law to earn a reasonable level of profits for the services that it provides to the Fund. The Board and the Independent Trustees concluded that the Adviser's level of profitability from its relationship with the Fund did not indicate that the Adviser's compensation was unreasonable or excessive.

Economies of Scale and Sharing of Economies of Scale. The Board and the Independent Trustees considered, and discussed at length with the Adviser, whether there have been economies of scale with respect to the management of the Fund, whether the Fund has appropriately benefited from any economies of scale, and whether the fee rate is reasonable in relation to the Fund's asset levels and any economies of scale that may exist. While the Independent Trustees noted that the Fund experienced significant increases in its net assets several years ago, in recent years asset levels have modestly declined. They also considered the Adviser's representation that its internal costs of providing investment management services to the Fund have also significantly increased in recent years as a result of a number of factors, including the ongoing and growing complexity of the Fund's investments, as well as the Adviser's substantial investment in additional professional resources and staffing. The Board and the Independent Trustees considered both quantitative and qualitative information regarding the Adviser's representation that it has also made significant investments in: (1) maintaining a portfolio management team of three and a team of analysts, traders and other investment personnel who assist with the management of the Fund; (2) new compliance, operations, and administrative personnel; (3) information technology, portfolio accounting and trading systems; and (4) office space, each of which enhances the quality of services provided to the Fund. The Board and Independent Trustees also considered the Adviser's representation that it would continue making such investments to maintain and increase the level and quality of services that it provides to the Fund. The Board and the Independent Trustees also considered that the Adviser had agreed to forgo the compensation for providing certain financial services that it had previously received from the Fund. The Board and the Independent Trustees also considered the Adviser's willingness to close funds to new investors when it believed that the Fund had limited capacity to grow or that it otherwise would benefit fund shareholders. The Board also noted that even though the Fund has experienced net outflows during the recent period, the Adviser has continued to make investments in the services it provides to the Fund. The Board noted that the Fund does not charge sales loads.

The Board and the Independent Trustees recognized that the advisory fee schedule for the Fund does not have breakpoints. They considered that many mutual funds have breakpoints in the advisory fee structure as a means by which to share in the benefits of potential economies of scale as a fund's assets grow. They also considered that not all funds have breakpoints in their fee structures and that breakpoints are not the exclusive means of sharing potential economies of scale. The Board and the Independent Trustees considered the Adviser's statement that it believes that breakpoints currently remain inappropriate for the Fund given the ongoing additional investments the Adviser is making in its business for the benefit of the Fund, uncertainties regarding the direction of the economy, and uncertainties regarding future growth or contraction in the Fund's assets, all of which could negatively impact the profitability of the Adviser. The Board and the Independent Trustees concluded that the Fund is benefitting from the ongoing investments made by the Adviser in its team of personnel serving the Fund and in the Adviser's service infrastructure, and that in light of these investments, the addition of breakpoints to the Fund's advisory fee structure was not warranted at current asset levels.

Ancillary Benefits. The Board and the Independent Trustees considered other actual and potential benefits to the Adviser from managing the Fund, including the acquisition and use of research services with commissions generated by the Fund, in concluding that the contractual advisory and other fees are fair and reasonable for the Funds. They noted that the Adviser does not have any affiliates that benefit from the Adviser's relationship to the Fund.

Conclusions. The Board and the Independent Trustees determined that the Fund continues to benefit from the services of the Adviser's highly experienced portfolio managers and portfolio management team, which has produced outstanding long-term returns with low relative volatility. In addition, the Board and the Independent Trustees agreed that the Fund continues to receive high quality services from the Adviser. The Board and the Independent Trustees concluded that the current advisory fee rate is reasonable and fair to the Fund and its shareholders in light of the nature and quality of the services provided by the Adviser and the Adviser's profitability and costs. In reaching their conclusions, the Independent Trustees also noted their intention to continue monitoring the factors relevant to the Adviser's compensation, such as changes in the Fund's asset levels, changes in portfolio management personnel and the cost and quality of the services provided by the Adviser to the Fund. On the basis of the foregoing, and without assigning particular weight to any single factor, none of which was dispositive, the Board and the Independent Trustees concluded that it would be in the best interests of the Fund to continue to be advised and managed by the Adviser and determined to approve the continuation of the current Advisory Agreement for another one-year period through September 30, 2020.

Fund Expenses

Mutual fund shareholders generally incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, and (2) ongoing costs, including advisory and administrative fees; shareholder service fees; and other Fund expenses. The Example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds. The Example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the year and held for the entire year.

Actual Expenses

The information in the table under the heading "Actual Performance" provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this column, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the first column in the row entitled "Expenses Paid During Period" to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.

Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes

The information in the table under the heading "Hypothetical Performance (5% return before expenses)" provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Fund's actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Fund's actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to

compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Fund and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of other funds.

Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transactional costs. Therefore, the information under the heading "Hypothetical Performance (5% return before expenses)" is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transactional costs were included, your costs would have been higher. Even though the Fund does not charge transaction fees, if you purchase shares through a broker, the broker may charge you a fee. You should evaluate other mutual funds' transaction fees and any applicable broker fees to assess the total cost of ownership for comparison purposes.

	Actual Performance		Hypothetical Performance (5% return before expenses)
Beginning Account Value June 30, 2019	$	1,000.00	$	1,000.00
Ending Account Value December 31, 2019	$	1,048.30	$	1,018.80
Expenses Paid During Period*	$	6.56	$	6.46

*  Expenses are equal to the Fund's annualized expense ratio of 1.27%, multiplied by the average account value over the period and prorated for the six-months ended December 31, 2019 (184/365 days).

FPA Flexible Fixed Income Fund

FPA FLEXIBLE FIXED INCOME FUND
LETTER TO SHAREHOLDERS

INTRODUCTION

Dear Fellow Shareholders,

FPA Flexible Fixed Income, Inc. (the "Fund") returned 0.42% in the fourth quarter of 2019 and 3.78% for the year ended December 31, 2019.

As of December 31, the portfolio had a yield-to-worst of 2.80% and an effective duration of 1.74 years.¹ After starting the quarter inverted, the yield curve² — as measured by the difference between 3-month and 10-year Treasuries — returned to a positive slope. The reversal stemmed from the combined impact of a decrease in yields on Treasuries maturing in less than two years, a rise in yields on Treasuries maturing beyond two years, and the third Federal Reserve interest rate cut of 2019. In addition, short maturity Treasury yields were driven lower by the Federal Reserve's efforts to manage funding costs in the repo market. The net result is that, in combination with lower spreads on investment grade bonds, yields on the portfolio's high-quality investments (defined as investments rated A- or higher) decreased slightly. Despite a significant compression in high-yield spreads, which made the market for credit investments (defined as investments rated BBB+ or lower) more expensive, we opportunistically added to existing investments and initiated a few new positions. Consequently, the portfolio's credit exposure increased to 9.6% as of December 31, up from 8.4% at September 30. Cash and equivalents were 12.5% of the portfolio as of December 31 versus 3.1% at September 30.

Portfolio Attribution³

Fourth Quarter 2019

During the fourth quarter, the largest, second-largest and third-largest contributors to performance were agency mortgage pools, collateralized loan obligations (CLO) and corporates (i.e., bank debt, high yield bonds and common stock). The return on all was predominantly driven by coupon payments. Within corporates, bank debt represents the vast majority of the exposure and was the source of the majority of the return.

¹  Yield-to-worst is the lowest possible yield that can be received on a bond without the issuer defaulting. It does not represent the yield that an investor should expect to receive, and is gross of management fees and expenses. As of December 31, 2019, the Fund's subsidized/unsubsidized 30-Day SEC Standardized Yield ("SEC Yield") was 2.72%/1.93% respectively. The SEC Yield calculation is an annualized measure of the Fund's dividend and interest payments for the last 30 days, less the Fund expenses. Subsidized yield reflects fee waivers and/or expense reimbursements during the period. Without waivers and/or reimbursements, yields would be reduced. Unsubsidized yield does not adjust for any fee waivers and/or expense reimbursements in effect. The SEC Yield calculation is based on the price of the Fund at the beginning of the month. The SEC Yield calculation shows investors what they would earn in yield over the course of a 12-month period if the fund continued earning the same rate for the rest of the year. Duration is a measure of the sensitivity of the price (the value of principal) of a fixed-income investment to a change in interest rates.

²  A yield curve is a line that plots the interest rates, at a set point in time, of bonds having equal credit quality but differing maturity dates. An inverted yield curve means that short-term yields were higher than long-term yields.

³  See the end of this commentary for additional information pertaining to attribution for the year ending December 31, 2019. Top contributors and detractors to the Fund's performance are based on contribution to return for the periods noted. This information is not a recommendation for a specific security or sector and these securities/sectors may not be in the Fund at the time you receive this report. The information provided does not reflect all positions purchased, sold or recommended by FPA during the quarter. A copy of the methodology used and a list of every sector's contribution to the overall Fund's performance during the quarter is available by contacting FPA at crm@fpa.com. The portfolio holdings as of the most recent quarter-end may be obtained at www.fpa.com.

Past performance is no guarantee, nor is it indicative, of future returns.

FPA FLEXIBLE FIXED INCOME FUND
LETTER TO SHAREHOLDERS

(Continued)

From a sector standpoint, there were no meaningful detractors from performance during the quarter. However, within the Fund's corporate holdings, the equity investment in PHI, Inc. detracted from performance.

Calendar Year 2019

During the year ended December 31, the largest, second-largest and third-largest contributors to performance were agency mortgage pools, equipment ABS and ABS backed by auto loans, respectively. For all of these investments, the return benefited from coupon payments and price appreciation, the latter resulting from the decrease in Treasury yields over the course of 2019 and lower spreads.

We actively manage the Fund's effective duration by targeting the longest duration investments that we expect will have a breakeven return in a rising interest rate environment. This approach seeks to limit the potential decline in value of the portfolio from rising interest rates while creating upside optionality in the form of higher prices in the event that interest rates decline. This past year was the realization of that upside optionality as the duration-extending investments we made early in 2019 when interest rates were higher generated greater than expected returns as prices rose due to lower interest rates later in 2019.

Portfolio Activity⁴

The table below shows the portfolio's exposures as of December 31, 2019 compared to September 30, 2019:

⁴  Portfolio composition will change due to ongoing management of the Fund.

⁵  Collateralized mortgage obligations ("CMO") are mortgage-backed bonds that separate mortgage pools into different maturity classes. Commercial mortgage-backed securities ("CMBS") are securities backed by commercial mortgages rather than residential mortgages.

⁶  Yield to Worst ("YTW") is presented gross of fees and reflects the lowest possible yield on a callable bond without the issuer defaulting. It does not represent the yield an investor should expect to receive. As of December 31, 2019, the Fund's subsidized/unsubsidized 30-day SEC standardized yield ("SEC Yield") was 2.72%/1.93% respectively. The SEC Yield calculation is an annualized measure of the Fund's dividend and interest payments for the last 30 days, less the Fund's expenses. Subsidized yield reflects fee waivers and/or expense reimbursements during the period. Without waivers and/or reimbursements, yields would be reduced. Unsubsidized yield does not adjust for any fee waivers and/or expense reimbursements in effect. The SEC Yield calculation is based on the price of the Fund at the beginning of the month. The SEC Yield calculation shows investors what they would earn in yield over the course of a 12-month period if the fund continued earning the same rate for the rest of the year.

⁷  The Average Life (years) is the average length of time that each dollar of unpaid principal on a loan, a mortgage or an amortizing bond remains outstanding.

Past performance is no guarantee, nor is it indicative, of future returns.

Charts 1 and 2 below tell the story of our year and this past quarter. The first chart shows 2- and 3-year Treasury yields and the yield on the Bloomberg Barclays 1-3 year Aggregate Bond Index. These data points serve as a proxy for our high-quality investment opportunity set as determined by our market-based duration target. Based on yields over the past year, we have focused on bonds with a duration of two to three years. As a reminder, we define high-quality bonds as bonds rated A- or higher.

The second chart shows the yield and spread on the Bloomberg Barclays High Yield Index and the spread on the Credit Suisse Leveraged Loan Index as proxies for our credit investment opportunity set. We define credit investments as investments rated BBB+ or lower.

Chart 2: Credit Opportunity Set

Source: High Yield data Bloomberg Barclays, Loan data Credit Suisse; Chart data covers the period 1/1/2019 through 12/31/2019.

In 2019 (and also in the past quarter), bonds of all sorts became more and more expensive. Chart 1 shows that yields on high-quality 2- to 4-year maturity bonds declined by 90 to 100 basis points (bps) during the year. Chart 2 shows that yields on high-yield bonds declined by over 275 basis points, ending the year at a not-so-high-yield of 5.2%! In the leveraged loan market, spreads compressed by nearly 80 basis points at one point before finishing the year approximately 30 basis points lower than where they started at the beginning of the year. What is an absolute value investor to do in a market like this? We wait and preserve capital for better investment opportunities, which is exactly what we did for the past year and, indeed, for the past quarter.

Much as we did during the first nine months of the year, during the fourth quarter most of the capital we deployed went to high-quality bonds that extend the portfolio's duration. Most of the Fund's high-quality investments came in the form of fixed rate equipment ABS, non-agency CMBS, auto ABS and agency and non-agency mortgages which, on average, had a duration of 2.30 years. We also meaningfully added to the Fund's exposure in high quality, floating rate CLOs. These investments were funded with a combination of existing cash, the proceeds of bond maturities and amortization, and sales of short duration bonds. Notably, we also sold longer-duration agency mortgage pools that had an average duration of approximately 2.9 years. These pools were purchased early in 2019 when there were higher yields. As yields declined in 2019, the price of these pools went up. Those higher prices contributed positively to the portfolio's return. However, those higher prices also meant that these pools were no longer attractive for us to own going forward because the yields no longer adequately compensated us for the duration risk. As disciplined investors, we look to sell investments like these when they cease to meet our investment criteria.

FPA FLEXIBLE FIXED INCOME FUND
LETTER TO SHAREHOLDERS

(Continued)

In credit, we exercised patience and waited for opportunities to deploy capital at attractive valuations. That paid off when we identified a few investment opportunities in the loan market that met our investment criteria. In addition to adding to existing positions at attractive prices, we invested in a few new loans this quarter, both public and private.⁸ Some of the new investments came from recent research and some from past research. Even in expensive markets like today, our team researches companies and investments in the hope that one day they will become cheap enough for us to own. In total, the Fund's credit exposure increased by 120 bps to 9.6% at December 31, 2019 versus 8.4% at September 30, 2019.

Lastly, cash and equivalents increased to 12.5% of the portfolio as of the end of the 2019 versus 3.1% at September 30, 2019, reflecting the impact of the aforementioned sales of agency pools close to the end of the year and inflows with little opportunity to invest the proceeds prior to year-end.

Market Commentary

In December, the inbox fills up with two types of very large research reports: reviews of 2019 and projections for the best and worst places to invest in 2020. For many investment managers, at the stroke of midnight on December 31, everything magically starts over. In our minds, the only thing that starts over is the 'calendar return' for the assets we manage. Since our long-term investment horizon is five years, the year-end reset is of limited value. What's more, the effects of actions taken by individuals and policy makers in one year aren't limited to that year but continue to influence future asset valuations without regard to the calendar.

An example of a policy that transcends calendar years is the Federal Reserve's program to increase the Fed Funds rate in a well-telegraphed fashion, with a target of being neutral to economic growth. This policy appeared correct when first implemented in December 2016, but it resulted in unintended consequences years later when it became toxic for the capital markets by the fourth quarter of 2018 and negatively impacted economic growth in 2019. Year-over-year real GDP growth declined from 2.7% to 2.1% during calendar year 2019. As a result, that policy was reversed. That reversal has thus far had little economic impact, but it may influence the economy in the future.

Another policy with long-term effects involved shrinking the Federal Reserve's balance sheet, or quantitative tightening (QT). For over a year, this balance sheet reduction was, to quote the Fed, 'like watching paint dry.' Then in September 2019, liquidity problems erupted in the repo market — partially as an indirect consequence of the balance sheet reduction. In our Q3 2019 letter and conference call, we talked about the repo market and its problems. The short-term solution from the Federal Reserve was to provide a repo facility and purchase Treasury Bills until the middle of 2020. As of the end of 2019, those two actions resulted in about a $400 billion increase in assets on the Federal Reserve's balance sheet, which was effectively a reversion to quantitative easing (QE). As Chart 3 makes clear, the $400 billion of new liquidity provided to the market reversed about 50% of the decline in the Federal Reserve's balance sheet from its high point at the end of 2016.

⁸  Illiquid investments represented approximately 3.27% of the portfolio as of December 31, 2019.

Chart 3: The Federal Reserve's Balance Sheet

Source: Bianco Research LLC, Federal Reserve and Bloomberg. Chart data from 1/1/2015-12/26/2019.

We do not yet know the ultimate consequences of this repo clean-up exercise, though we have gleaned some insight from our inbox. Amid the flood of commentary that arrived over the last quarter, three points about the repo market stood out. The first came from David Rosenberg at Rosenberg Research. He said that over the last 10 years, the correlation between the stock market and GDP was only 7%, while the correlation between the Federal Reserve's balance sheet and the equity market was 70%.⁹ We would define this comparison as fundamental versus technical.

The second comment was from Bianco Research, which showed a strong positive relationship between the return on the S&P 500 and the Fed's announcement of Fed Repo program and Treasury Bill purchases (shown in Chart 4). Additionally, Bianco showed a similar reaction in the high-yield credit market as is evident in Chart 5, which shows the appreciation in the high-yield index value.

Finally, the third comment relates to a graph from Steve Blitz, an economist with TS Lombard that illustrated the breakdown of household wealth by asset class. Equity holdings are now the largest component of U.S. household wealth, as shown in Chart 6.

These three items remind us of what then-Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke said was the objective of QE. The following is an excerpt from his Nov. 4, 2010 editorial published in the Washington Post, where he laid out the Federal Open Market Committee's (FOMC) reasoning for instituting the second QE program:

"The FOMC intends to buy an additional $600 billion of longer-term Treasury securities by mid-2011 and will continue to reinvest repayments of principal on its holdings of securities, as it has been doing since August. This approach eased financial conditions in the past and, so far, looks to be effective again. Stock prices rose and long-term interest rates fell when investors began to anticipate this additional action. Easier financial conditions will promote economic growth. For example, lower mortgage rates will make housing more affordable and allow more homeowners to refinance. Lower corporate bond rates will encourage investment. And higher stock prices will boost consumer wealth and help increase confidence, which can also spur spending. Increased spending will lead to higher incomes and profits that, in a virtuous circle, will further support economic expansion." (Our emphasis added).

We are nine years on, and the central bank policy still adheres to ideas put forth just after the end of a recession. Further, part of the objective is to be an activist in asset prices, calm volatility and, to borrow from Pink Floyd, make the market 'comfortably numb' to risk and proper valuations.

Over the past 10 years of this economic expansion, we have commented in detail as to why expensive valuations have made disciplined investing challenging for vast periods of time, whether it is in the high-quality or credit portion of the fixed income market. We don't and can't know how long this numbed environment will last, so we must decide how best to deploy capital to reach the Fund's short- and long-term investment objectives. Scattered among those year-end research reports are economic prognostications that a recession is coming soon and others saying the economy will improve. We have no valuable insight to this macroeconomic question, so instead, we ask whether we are being paid enough relative to the risk of a bad outcome. For the most part, in today's market, we think the answer is no. As such, 2020 starts out as one of those market environments where capital preservation is paramount, and the appropriate attitude appears to be patiently waiting for more attractive investment opportunities. We see value in pushing out the duration of the Fund's high-quality holdings as far as possible within the confines of our duration test. That test seeks to identify investments that we expect will have a positive or break-even return over 12 months, assuming that yields rise by 100 bps. Actively managing the duration in this manner creates an attractive upside versus downside with respect to interest rate duration. Further, we have moved toward investments that are less exposed to rising spreads and bear less credit risk until we are paid adequately to do otherwise. The yield spread over corresponding Treasury securities on a vast majority of fixed income securities are at or near multi-year lows. If the economy improves over the course of 2020, that good news is already baked into the price. If, on the other hand, the economy deteriorates, investors won't be compensated for that deteriorating environment. None of this is new to our shareholders, who expect us to be consistent and disciplined while patiently waiting for an attractive investing environment. Unlike the rest of the market, we are not 'comfortably numb.'

Thank you for your continued trust and support.

Such statements may or may not be accurate over the long-term.

Investments, including investments in mutual funds, carry risks and investors may lose principal value. Capital markets are volatile and can decline significantly in response to adverse issuer, political, regulatory, market, or economic developments. The Fund may purchase foreign securities, including American Depository Receipts (ADRs) and other depository receipts, which are subject to interest rate, currency exchange rate, economic and political risks; this may be enhanced when investing in emerging markets. Foreign investments, especially those of companies in emerging markets, can be riskier, less liquid, harder to value, and more volatile than investments in the United States. The securities of smaller, less well-known companies can be more volatile than those of larger companies.

The return of principal in a bond fund is not guaranteed. Bond funds have the same issuer, interest rate, inflation and credit risks that are associated with underlying bonds owned by the Fund. Lower rated bonds, convertible securities and other types of debt obligations involve greater risks than higher rated bonds.

Interest rate risk is the risk that when interest rates go up, the value of fixed income securities, such as bonds, typically go down and investors may lose principal value. Credit risk is the risk of loss of principal due to the issuer's failure to repay a loan. Generally, the lower the quality rating of a security, the greater the risk that the issuer will fail to pay interest fully and return principal in a timely manner. If an issuer defaults the security may lose some or all of its value.

Mortgage securities and collateralized mortgage obligations (CMOs) are subject to prepayment risk and the risk of default on the underlying mortgages or other assets; such derivatives may increase volatility. Convertible securities are generally not investment grade and are subject to greater credit risk than higher-rated investments. High yield securities can be volatile and subject to much higher instances of default.

Value style investing presents the risk that the holdings or securities may never reach their full market value because the market fails to recognize what the portfolio management team considers the true business value or because the portfolio management team has misjudged those values. In addition, value style investing may fall out of favor and underperform growth or other styles of investing during given periods.

The ratings agencies that provide ratings are Standard and Poor's, Moody's, and Fitch. Credit ratings range from AAA (highest) to D (lowest). Bonds rated BBB or above are considered investment grade. Credit ratings of BB and below are lower-rated securities (junk bonds). High-yielding, non-investment grade bonds (junk bonds) involve higher risks than investment grade bonds. Bonds with credit ratings of CCC or below have high default risk.

FPA FLEXIBLE FIXED INCOME FUND
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

December 31, 2019

NOTE 1 — Significant Accounting Policies

FPA Flexible Fixed Income Fund (the "Fund"), a series of the FPA Funds Trust, is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as a diversified, open-end, management investment company. The Fund's primary investment objective is to seek current income and long-term total return. Capital preservation is also a consideration. The Fund qualifies as an investment company pursuant to Financial Accounting Standard Board (FASB) Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) No. 946, Financial Services — Investment Companies. The following is a summary of significant accounting policies consistently followed by the Fund in the preparation of its financial statements.

A.  Security Valuation

The Fund's investments are reported at fair value as defined by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, ("U.S. GAAP"). The Fund generally determines its net asset value as of approximately 4:00 p.m. New York time each day the New York Stock Exchange is open. Further discussion of valuation methods, inputs and classifications can be found under Disclosure of Fair Value Measurements.

B.  Securities Transactions and Related Investment Income

Securities transactions are accounted for on the date the securities are purchased or sold. Dividend income and distributions to shareholders are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Interest income and expenses are recorded on an accrual basis. Market discounts and premiums on fixed income securities are amortized over the expected life of the securities. Realized gains or losses are based on the specific identification method.

C.  Use of Estimates

The preparation of the financial statements in accordance with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

D.  Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In August 2018, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2018-13, Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820) — Disclosure Framework — Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurement. The amendments eliminate certain disclosure requirements for fair value measurements for all entities, requires public entities to disclose certain new information and modifies some disclosure requirements. The new guidance is effective for all entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019 and for interim periods within those fiscal years. An entity is permitted to early adopt either the entire standard or only the provisions that eliminate or modify requirements. The Adviser is currently evaluating the impact of this new guidance on the Fund's financial statements.

NOTE 2 — Risk Considerations

Investing in the Fund may involve certain risks including, but not limited to, those described below.

Market Risk: Because the values of the Fund's investments will fluctuate with market conditions, so will the value of your investment in the Fund. You could lose money on your investment in the Fund or the Fund could underperform other investments.

Interest Rate and Credit Risk: The values of, and the income generated by, most debt securities held by the Fund may be affected by changing interest rates and by changes in the effective maturities and credit rating of

32

FPA FLEXIBLE FIXED INCOME FUND
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)

December 31, 2019

these securities. For example, the value of debt securities in the Fund's portfolio generally will decline when interest rates rise and increase when interest rates fall. In addition, 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.

Mortgage-Backed and Other Asset-Backed Securities Risk: The values of some mortgage-backed and other asset-backed securities may expose the Fund to a lower rate of return upon reinvestment of principal. When interest rates rise, the value of mortgage-related securities generally will decline; however, when interest rates are declining, the value of mortgage related-securities with prepayment features may not increase as much as other fixed income securities. The rate of prepayments on underlying mortgages will affect the price and volatility of a mortgage-related security, and may shorten or extend the effective maturity of the security beyond what was anticipated at the time of purchase. If an unanticipated rate of prepayment on underlying mortgages increases the effective maturity of a mortgage-related security, the volatility of the security can be expected to increase. The value of these securities may also fluctuate in response to the market's perception of the creditworthiness of the issuers. Additionally, although mortgages and mortgage-related securities are generally supported by some form of government or private guarantee and/or insurance, there is no assurance that private guarantors or insurers will meet their obligations.

Stripped Mortgage-Backed Interest Only ("I/O") and Principal Only ("P/O") Securities: Stripped mortgage backed securities are usually structured with two classes that receive different proportions of the interest and principal distributions on a pool of mortgage assets. In certain cases, one class will receive all of the interest payments on the underlying mortgages (the I/O class), while the other class will receive all of the principal payments (the P/O class). The Fund currently has investments in I/O securities. The yield to maturity on I/Os is sensitive to the rate of principal repayments (including prepayments) on the related underlying mortgage assets, and principal payments may have a material effect on yield-to-maturity. If the underlying mortgage assets experience greater than anticipated prepayments of principal, a Fund may not fully recoup its initial investment in I/Os.

Credit Risk: Debt securities are subject to credit risk, meaning that the issuer of the debt security may default or fail to make timely payments of principal or interest. The values of any of the Fund's investments may also decline in response to events affecting the issuer or its credit rating. The lower rated debt securities in which the Fund may invest are considered speculative and are generally subject to greater volatility and risk of loss than investment grade securities, particularly in deteriorating economic conditions. The Fund invests a significant portion of its assets in securities of issuers that hold mortgage-and asset-backed securities and direct investments in securities backed by commercial and residential mortgage loans and other financial assets. The value and related income of these securities is sensitive to changes in economic conditions, including delinquencies and/or defaults. Continuing shifts in the market's perception of credit quality on securities backed by commercial and residential mortgage loans and other financial assets may result in increased volatility of market price and periods of illiquidity that can negatively impact the valuation of certain securities held by the Fund.

Repurchase Agreements: Repurchase agreements permit the Fund to maintain liquidity and earn income over periods of time as short as overnight. Repurchase agreements held by the Fund are fully collateralized by U.S. Government securities, or securities issued by U.S. Government agencies, or securities that are within the three highest credit categories assigned by established rating agencies (Aaa, Aa, or A by Moody's or AAA, AA or A by Standard & Poor's) or, if not rated by Moody's or Standard & Poor's, are of equivalent investment quality as determined by the Adviser. Such collateral is in the possession of the Fund's custodian. The collateral is evaluated daily to ensure its fair value equals or exceeds the current fair value of the repurchase agreements

33

FPA FLEXIBLE FIXED INCOME FUND
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)

December 31, 2019

including accrued interest. In the event of default on the obligation to repurchase, the Fund has the right to liquidate the collateral and apply the proceeds in satisfaction of the obligation.

The Fund may enter into repurchase agreements, under the terms of a Master Repurchase Agreement ("MRA"). The MRA permits the Fund, under certain circumstances including an event of default (such as bankruptcy or insolvency), to offset payables and/or receivables under the MRA with collateral held and/or posted to the counterparty and create one single net payment due to or from the Fund. However, bankruptcy or insolvency laws of a particular jurisdiction may impose restrictions on or prohibitions against such a right of offset in the event of a MRA counterparty's bankruptcy or insolvency. Pursuant to the terms of the MRA, the Fund receives securities as collateral with a fair value in excess of the repurchase price to be received by the Fund upon the maturity of the repurchase transaction. Upon a bankruptcy or insolvency of the MRA counterparty, the Fund recognizes a liability with respect to such excess collateral to reflect the Fund's obligation under bankruptcy law to return the excess to the counterparty. Repurchase agreements outstanding at the end of the period are listed in the Fund's Portfolio of Investments.

NOTE 3 — Purchases and Sales of Investment Securities

Cost of purchases of investment securities (excluding short-term investments) aggregated $151,541,194 for the year ended December 31, 2019. The proceeds and cost of securities sold resulting in net realized losses of $67,175 aggregated $22,785,069 and $22,852,244, respectively, for the year ended December 31, 2019. Realized gains or losses are based on the specific identification method.

NOTE 4 — Advisory Fees and Other Affiliated Transactions

Pursuant to an Investment Advisory Agreement (the "Agreement"), advisory fees were paid by the Fund to First Pacific Advisors, LP (the "Adviser"). Under the terms of this Agreement, the Fund pays the Adviser a monthly fee calculated at the annual rate of 0.50% of the Fund's average daily net assets. In addition, the Adviser has contractually agreed to reimburse the Fund for Total Annual Fund Operating Expenses (excluding interest, taxes, brokerage fees and commissions payable by the Fund in connection with the purchase or sale of portfolio securities, and extraordinary expenses, including litigation expenses not incurred in the Fund's ordinary course of business) in excess of 0.39% of the average net assets of the Fund through December 31, 2019, in excess of 0.39% of net assets of the Fund for the year ended December 31, 2020, in excess of 0.49% of net assets of the Fund for the year ended December 31, 2021, and in excess of 0.59% of net assets of the Fund for the year ended December 31, 2022. During the term of the current expense limit agreement, beginning January 1, 2020 and ending December 31, 2022, any expenses reimbursed to the Fund by the Adviser during any of the previous 36 months may be recouped by the Adviser, provided the Fund's Total Annual Fund Operating Expenses do not exceed the then-applicable expense limit. Beginning January 1, 2023, any expenses reimbursed to the Fund by the Adviser during any of the previous 36 months may be recouped by the Adviser, provided the Fund's Total Annual Fund Operating Expenses do not exceed 0.64% of average net assets of the Fund for any subsequent calendar year, regardless of whether there is a then-effective higher expense limit. This agreement may only be terminated earlier by the Fund's Board of Trustees (the "Board") or upon termination of the Agreement

For the year ended December 31, 2019, the Fund paid aggregate fees and expenses of $83,500 to all Trustees who are not affiliated persons of the Adviser. Certain officers of the Fund are also officers of the Adviser. For the year ended December 31, 2019, $31,205 was due to the Fund from the Adviser for reimbursement of expenses over the Fund's 0.39% expense limit.

NOTE 5 — Federal Income Tax

No provision for federal income tax is required because the Fund has elected to be taxed as a "regulated investment company" under the Internal Revenue Code (the "Code") and intends to maintain this qualification

34

FPA FLEXIBLE FIXED INCOME FUND
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)

December 31, 2019

and to distribute each year to its shareholders, in accordance with the minimum distribution requirements of the Code, its taxable net investment income and taxable net realized gains on investments.

Distributions paid to shareholders are based on net investment income and net realized gains determined on a tax reporting basis, which may differ from financial reporting.

For federal income tax purposes, the Fund had the following components of distributable earnings at December 31, 2019:

Unrealized appreciation	$	778,318
Undistributed ordinary income		28,729
Capital loss carryover		(55,795	)

The tax status of distributions paid during the fiscal years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018 were as follows:

	2019		2018
Dividends from ordinary income	$	2,400,488		N/A
Distributions from long-term capital gains		—		N/A

The Fund utilizes the provisions of federal income tax laws that provide for the carryforward of capital losses for prior years, offsetting such losses against any future realized capital gains. Under the Regulated Investment Company Act of 2010 (the "Act"), net capital losses recognized for fiscal years beginning after December 22, 2010 may be carried forward indefinitely, and their character is retained as short-term and/or long-term losses. Previously, net capital losses were carried forward for eight years and treated as short-term losses.

As a transition rule, the Act requires that post-enactment net capital losses be used before pre-enactment net capital losses.

As of December 31, 2019, the fund had short-term and long-term capital loss carryforwards of $55,795 and $0, respectively, to offset future realized capital gains.

The cost of investment securities held at December 31, 2019, was $140,099,064 for federal income tax purposes. Gross unrealized appreciation and depreciation for all investments (excluding short-term investments) at December 31, 2019, for federal income tax purposes was $1,021,264 and $242,946, respectively resulting in net unrealized appreciation of $778,318. As of and during the year ended December 31, 2019, the Fund did not have any liability for unrecognized tax benefits. The Fund recognizes interest and penalties, if any, related to unrecognized tax benefits as income tax expense in the Statement of Operations. During the year, the Fund did not incur any interest or penalties. The statute of limitations remains open for the last 3 years, once a return is filed. No examinations are in progress at this time.

NOTE 6 — Disclosure of Fair Value Measurements

The Fund uses the following methods and inputs to establish the fair value of its assets and liabilities. Use of particular methods and inputs may vary over time based on availability and relevance as market and economic conditions evolve.

Equity securities are generally valued each day at the official closing price of, or the last reported sale price on, the exchange or market on which such securities principally are traded, as of the close of business on that day.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)

December 31, 2019

If there have been no sales that day, equity securities are generally valued at the last available bid price. Securities that are unlisted and fixed-income and convertible securities listed on a national securities exchange for which the over-the-counter ("OTC") market more accurately reflects the securities' value in the judgment of the Fund's officers, are valued at the most recent bid price. However, most fixed income securities are generally valued at prices obtained from pricing vendors and brokers. Vendors value such securities based on one or more of the following inputs: transactions, bids, offers quotations from dealers and trading systems, spreads and other relationships observed in the markets among comparable securities, benchmarks, underlying equity of the issuer, and proprietary pricing models such as cash flows, financial or collateral performance and other reference data (includes prepayments, defaults, collateral, credit enhancements, and interest rate volatility). Short-term corporate notes with maturities of 60 days or less at the time of purchase are valued at amortized cost.

Securities for which representative market quotations are not readily available or are considered unreliable by the Adviser are valued as determined in good faith under procedures adopted by the authority of the Fund's Board of Trustees. Various inputs may be reviewed in order to make a good faith determination of a security's value. These inputs include, but are not limited to, the type and cost of the security; contractual or legal restrictions on resale of the security; relevant financial or business developments of the issuer; actively traded similar or related securities; conversion or exchange rights on the security; related corporate actions; significant events occurring after the close of trading in the security; and changes in overall market conditions. Fair valuations and valuations of investments that are not actively trading involve judgment and may differ materially from valuations of investments that would have been used had greater market activity occurred.

The Fund classifies its assets based on three valuation methodologies. Level 1 values are based on quoted market prices in active markets for identical assets. Level 2 values are based on significant observable market inputs, such as quoted prices for similar assets and quoted prices in inactive markets or other market observable inputs as noted above including spreads, cash flows, financial performance, prepayments, defaults, collateral, credit enhancements, and interest rate volatility. Level 3 values are based on significant unobservable inputs that reflect the Fund's determination of assumptions that market participants might reasonably use in valuing the assets. These assumptions consider inputs such as proprietary pricing models, cash flows, prepayments, defaults, and collateral. The valuation levels are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities. The following table presents the valuation levels of the Fund's investments as of December 31, 2019:

*  Net realized and unrealized gains (losses) are included in the related amounts in the statement of operations.

Level 3 Valuation Process: Investments classified within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy are valued by the Adviser in good faith under procedures adopted by authority of the Fund's Board of Trustees. The Adviser employs various methods to determine fair valuations including regular review of key inputs and assumptions, and review of related market activity, if any. However, there are generally no observable trade activities in these securities. The Adviser reports to the Board of Trustees at their regularly scheduled quarterly meetings, or more often if warranted. The report includes a summary of the results of the process, the key inputs and assumptions noted, and any changes to the inputs and assumptions used. When appropriate, the Adviser will recommend changes to the procedures and process employed. The value determined for an investment using the fair value procedures may differ significantly from the value realized upon the sale of such investment. Transfers of

37

investments between different levels of the fair value hierarchy are recorded at fair value as of the end of the reporting period. There were no transfers between Level 1, Level 2 or Level 3

The following table summarizes the quantitative inputs and assumptions used for items categorized as Level 3 within the fair value hierarchy as of December 31, 2019:

Financial Asset	Fair Value at December 31, 2019		Valuation Technique(s)	Unobservable Inputs	Range
Common Stock	$	489,398	Restricted Assets (a)	Quotes/Prices	$	6.50
Residential Mortgage — Backed Securities Non-Agency Collateralized Mortgage Obligation	$	1,204,188	Third-Party Broker Quote (b)	Quotes/Prices	$	100.02

	$	238,785	Pricing Model (d)	Amortized Cost	$	99.24
	$	2,554,734

(a)  The fair value is based on the recent trade activity obtained from market makers in this security.

(b)  The Third Party Broker Quote technique involves obtaining an independent third-party broker quote for the security.

(c)  The significant unobservable inputs used in the fair value measurement are based on the most recent funding. If the financial condition of the underlying assets were to deteriorate, or if the market comparables were to fall, the value of this investment could be lower.

(d)  The Pricing Model technique for Level 3 securities involves amortized cost. If the financials condition of the underlying assets were to deteriorate, of if the market comparables were to fall, the value of this investment could be lower.

NOTE 7 — Collateral Requirements

FASB ASU No. 2011-11, Disclosures about Offsetting Assets and Liabilities, requires disclosures to make financial statements that are prepared under U.S. GAAP more comparable to those prepared under International Financial Reporting Standards. Under this guidance the Fund discloses both gross and net information about instruments and transactions eligible for offset such as instruments and transactions subject to an agreement similar to a master netting arrangement. In addition, the Fund discloses collateral received and posted in connection with master netting agreements or similar arrangements. The Fund did not hold derivative positions during the year ended December 31, 2019.

The following table presents the Fund's OTC derivative assets, liabilities and master repurchase agreements by counterparty net of amounts available for offset under an International Swaps Derivatives Associations, Inc. Master Agreement ("ISDA Master Agreement") or similar agreements and net of the related collateral received or pledged by the Fund as of December 31, 2019:

			Gross Amounts Not Offset in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED
PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

TO THE SHAREHOLDERS AND
BOARD OF TRUSTEES OF FPA FLEXIBLE FIXED INCOME FUND

Opinion on the Financial Statements

We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities of FPA Flexible Fixed Income Fund (the "Fund") (one of the funds constituting the FPA Funds Trust (the "Trust")), including the portfolio of investments, as of December 31, 2019, and the related statements of operations, changes in net assets and financial highlights for 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 the Fund (one of the funds constituting the FPA Funds Trust) at December 31, 2019 and the results of its operations, changes in its net assets and its financial highlights for the period then ended, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

Basis for Opinion

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

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

Our audit 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 December 31, 2019, by correspondence with the custodian and brokers or by other appropriate auditing procedures where replies from brokers were not received. Our audit also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

We have served as the auditor of one or more FPA investment companies since 2018.

FPA FLEXIBLE FIXED INCOME FUND
SHAREHOLDER EXPENSE EXAMPLE

December 31, 2019 (Unaudited)

Fund Expenses

Mutual fund shareholders generally incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, and (2) ongoing costs, including advisory and administrative fees; shareholder service fees; and other Fund expenses. The Example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds. The Example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the year and held for the entire year.

Actual Expenses

The information in the table under the heading "Actual Performance" provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this column, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the first column in the row entitled "Expenses Paid During Period" to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.

Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes

The information in the table under the heading "Hypothetical Performance (5% return before expenses)" provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Fund's actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Fund's actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid

for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Fund and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of other funds.

Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transactional costs. Therefore, the information under the heading "Hypothetical Performance (5% return before expenses)" is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transactional costs were included, your costs would have been higher. Even though the Fund does not charge transaction fees, if you purchase shares through a broker, the broker may charge you a fee. You should evaluate other mutual funds' transaction fees and any applicable broker fees to assess the total cost of ownership for comparison purposes.

	Actual Performance		Hypothetical Performance (5% return before expenses)
Beginning Account Value June 30, 2019	$	1,000.00	$	1,000.00
Ending Account Value December 31, 2019	$	1,011.30	$	1,023.24
Expenses Paid During Period*	$	1.98	$	1.99

*  Expenses are equal to the Fund's annualized expense ratio of 0.39%, multiplied by the average account value over the period and prorated for the six-months ended December 31, 2019 (184/365 days).

"Welcome to a world in which everything you learned about risk/return analysis (...) is not only worthless but detrimental to your career path. The Fed paying cash to dumb down an entire investment community."

"Businesses are worth more money if interest rates fall and stocks rise (...) And after a while, rising prices themselves alone will keep people excited and cause more people to enter the game (...) People tend to forget about the importance of the price they pay as the experience of a bull market just sort of dulls the senses."

Dear Fellow Shareholders,

In the fourth quarter of 2019, the FPA International Value Fund (the "Fund") returned 9.35% (in U.S. currency), net of fees and expenses (the Fund's most recent total expense ratio was 1.29%). This compared to 8.92% over the same period for the MSCI All Country World Index (ex-U.S.) (Net) (the "Index").

Over the full calendar year, the Fund returned 24.05%, net of fees and expenses (the Fund's most recent total expense ratio was 1.29%), versus 21.51% for the Index over the same period.

Most importantly, since its inception on Dec. 1, 2011, the Fund had an annualized return of 8.48% (in U.S. currency), net of fees and expenses (the Fund's net expense ratio averaged around 1.29% since inception). This compares to an annualized return of 6.58% for the Index over a similar period.¹

In addition, we note that cash and equivalent holdings on average accounted for 35% and 29% of the Fund's total assets in the fourth quarter and over the full calendar year, respectively. Since the Fund's inception, cash exposure has averaged 31% of assets, while fluctuating from less than 12% to more than 40%, depending on the availability of suitable investment opportunities.

Holdings performance

Portfolio holdings (i.e., excluding cash and cash equivalents) outperformed the Index in the quarter and over the full calendar year by an even larger margin, with returns of 15%, and close to 35%, respectively (in U.S. currency), compared to approximately 9% and 22% for the Index, respectively. Most importantly given our long-term focus, the annualized return on the Fund's investments since inception is 14% (in U.S. currency), compared to less than 7% for the Index.²

¹  The Index's annualized return of 6.58% is for the period from Nov. 30, 2011 to Dec. 31, 2019 in U.S. currency. From Dec. 1, 2011 to Dec. 31, 2019, the Index has produced an annualized return of 6.46%.

²  The performance of the portfolio holdings segment of the Fund is presented gross of investment management fees, transactions costs, and Fund operating expenses, which if included, would reduce the returns presented. Performance of the portfolio holdings also excludes the impact of cash and cash equivalents. An investor in the Fund cannot achieve these returns. Please refer to the first page for overall net performance of the Fund since inception. The long equity performance information shown is for illustrative purposes only and may not reflect the impact of material economic or market factors. No representation is being made that any account, product or strategy will or is likely to achieve profits, losses, or results similar to those shown.

Unsurprisingly given the Fund's performance, return contributions were positive across the board in the fourth quarter, with only two holdings negatively impacting performance in the period (though only modestly): Alcon and G8 Education (G8). Alcon is a recent addition to the portfolio (see Portfolio Activity for description). As is often the case with our value investment approach, Alcon's shares had been under pressure when we started purchasing the stock,³ and this negative momentum continued through most of the rest of the year, despite the rising market. G8 is a long standing holding of the Fund (see Worst Performer for description). However, as stated in the third quarter commentary, we had previously sold out of the stock almost completely, following a sharp increase in the share price (up 91% — in U.S. currency — from its low in October 2018 to its high in February 2019). When the stock experienced a sharp decline in the subsequent months, and reached new lows by the end of the year, we took advantage of the price weakness to buy back shares and rebuild our position in G8. That also negatively impacted the Fund's returns in the short-term.

In the third quarter, we also noted that the decline of the Fund's UK holdings had negatively impacted the Fund's performance. We inferred that this may have been a function of the recent change in government, uncertainty around plans for the country to exit the European Union (Brexit), and growing fears that Jeremy Corbyn (who planned to institute radical socialist policies) could become the next Prime Minister. Boris Johnson's (who vowed to follow through with Brexit) biggest Conservative Party's election win, the biggest Conservative Party win in over 20 years, helped ease many of these concerns and drove a rebound in the UK market. Together, the Fund's UK and Irish holdings accounted for about 60% of the total positive contribution in the fourth quarter.

However, we believe these short-term price developments say little about the underlying fundamentals and intrinsic value of our individual holdings. Focus should remain on their long-term business prospects rather than macro-economic fluctuations, political news flow, or headline noise. As always, we encourage shareholders to evaluate the stock performance of our investments over longer periods of time.

Worst performer

The largest detractor to performance this quarter, as noted above, was G8, with a contribution to return of -0.58%. It was also the Fund's worst-performing holding, with a share price that fell 23.54% (in U.S. currency).^4,5

Based in Australia, G8 is one of the country's largest operators of childcare centers. We commented on the G8 in past commentaries, in particular in the fourth quarter of 2018, after the stock price strongly recovered.

We first invested in G8 when the group started to experience material cyclical challenges.⁶ Too much capital desperate for yields had been flowing into properties used for early education. As supply overshot demand,

occupancy levels were negatively impacted. The resulting pressure triggered material changes at G8 in ownership, management, and strategic focus. The combination of all these disruptive forces presumably caused significant weakness in the company's share price, which we took advantage of to build the position.

While we expected G8's underlying business to remain under pressure in the short term, we believed that the aforementioned changes would be positives and that they presented opportunities for improvements after years of poorly managed growth. Furthermore, we expected long-term structural drivers to support growth in demand for early education, and we thought G8's business fundamentals were strong.

As the market started showing signs of improvement and some of the initiatives launched by G8's new CEO began having a positive impact on the business, market sentiment shifted and the company's shares rallied. Consistent with our investment discipline, we proceeded to take profits and sold most of the position by the first quarter of 2019.

More recently, however, further business updates disappointed, and confidence in continued improvements in market conditions faded, causing the stock price to fall sharply. The shares declined more than 20% (in U.S. currency) in the month of November alone and returned to their 2018 lows.

Patience continues to be required for supply and demand of early education properties in Australia to find an equilibrium. However, we have not seen any structural changes in these short few months that would require us to revise our underlying assessment of the fundamentals of the G8 business, its management team, or its balance sheet, and thus, our estimate of its intrinsic value. We therefore took advantage of the renewed weakness in the share price to rebuild the Fund's position in G8.

Best performer

The Fund's biggest contributor to performance this quarter was Ryanair, with a contribution to return of 1.94%. It was also the Fund's second-best-performing holding, with a share price that rose 42.71% (in U.S. currency). The Fund's best-performing holding was Volution, with a share price that increased 64.45% (in U.S. currency).⁷

Based in Ireland, Ryanair is one of Europe's leading passenger airlines. We have commented several times on this name in previous commentaries, most recently in the second quarter of 2019 (when we highlighted, in our view, the stock's particularly attractive valuation), as the company has experienced many difficulties that have weighed negatively on both its operating results and its share price in recent years. Problems have ranged from pilot roster-related flight cancellations, strike-ridden labor negotiations, and air traffic control disruptions, to increased fuel prices and the uncertainties associated with Brexit. We believe none of those were structural threats to Ryanair's long-term dominance in its market, and its seasoned management team has been able to manage most of them. Most recently, however, Ryanair has had to deal with the Boeing 737 Max issue. Following two deadly crashes, the Max came under intense scrutiny over several design flaws, and was grounded by authorities effectively until further notice. It is extremely difficult to determine what will become of the Max in the months to come. The aircraft plays an important part in Ryanair's plans to grow its business going forward, which means the group may have to rethink its mid-term strategy.

⁷  Based on the percentage of Ryanair and Volution's share prices change from Sept. 30 to Dec. 31, 2019 in U.S. currency. These share price changes may not equate with the performance of the holdings in the Fund. As of Dec. 31, 2019, Ryanair and Volution represented 4.85% and 2.11% of the Fund's net assets, respectively.

Past performance is no guarantee, nor is it indicative, of future results.

In the meantime, Ryanair's many competitive advantages and the sustained growth in demand for air travel have helped the company generate good operating performance. Most recently, the group raised its profit guidance for 2019 by an impressive 20%.⁸ Such momentum, combined with the high quality of the business and a debt-free balance sheet, was likely an important driver behind the recent share price increase.

Based in the UK, Volution is a leading manufacturer of ventilation systems. As noted in our third quarter commentary, we increased the Fund's holdings of Volution on share price weakness during that period. The negative momentum was presumably driven by the short-term disruption the business experienced amid the complex consolidation of its Slough and Reading facilities into a single modernized injection molding and fan assembly facility. However, operations subsequently returned to normal with the new site delivering the anticipated efficiency gains. This likely explains the recovery in the share price this quarter.

Despite the recent performance of these two holdings, we remain interested in being shareholders of both Ryanair and Volution so long as their stock prices continue to offer an appropriate margin of safety.

Portfolio activity⁹

As always, through the quarter we continued to add to holdings we believe offer compelling discounts to intrinsic value, and to trim positions that are becoming less attractively priced. We also rebalanced individual positions based on relative discounts to intrinsic value. While this helps ensure that our most compelling investments are more heavily weighted to drive performance, it is important to realize that it can also inflate portfolio turnover at times, particularly if short-term volatility rises.

Specifically, we increased the Fund's ownership of some portfolio companies whose stocks experienced material weakness. Those included G8 and Alcon (a leading manufacturer of eye care products and related surgical equipment), as per our previous comments. Among the Fund's largest existing holdings, we also increased the portfolio's investments in Cap Gemini (a global leading provider of consulting and technology services), which experienced some negative volatility on overblown fears of softer trading conditions, and in Ubisoft (one of the world's largest video game developers). We commented in the past on how challenging the year has been for game developers. We noted that it created an opportunity for us to increase the Fund's exposure to the industry, which we researched extensively prior to investments in companies like Keywords or Sumo (both leading providers of game development services). Ubisoft was particularly hard hit. It reported weak results and had to write-down the latest sequel of key game franchise Ghost Recon. It also postponed the release of three important new games originally expected by year-end.

During the period, we also made some new purchases, including shares of ISS A/S. Based in the Denmark, ISS is a global leading provider of cleaning, catering, support, security, and facility management services.

Because of positive performance, we trimmed several of the Fund's holdings. Those included Volution and Ryanair whose stocks experienced notable increases in price as previously discussed. We also reduced the size of several other holdings, including Naver (a leading Korean provider of internet-based services) and EssilorLuxottica (a global leading manufacturer of both ophthalmic lenses and eyeglass frames).

We first had the opportunity to build meaningful exposure to Essilor and Luxottica when their share prices fell amid fears that the European Commission wouldn't approve the merger of the two companies. A second opportunity came after the deal closed, when known internal tensions became public between senior executives on each side over the governance of the merged entity.¹⁰ More recently, however, the market appeared to shift its focus toward what we believe to be the unique quality of EssilorLuxottica's business and the potential large opportunities to extract synergies from the merger as well as the subsequent acquisition of GrandVision (see details below).

We mentioned Naver in our last commentary, as the operator of South Korea's dominant internet portal had announced in the third quarter of 2019 that it would spin off its mobile payment division, which helped lift the company's share price. Subsequently, the group reported that it plans to merge its Japanese messaging app operator, Line Corp, with SoftBank's internet subsidiary Yahoo! Japan (which recently acquired Japan's biggest online fashion retailer Zozo and changed its name to Z Holdings). The deal creates a new local tech powerhouse with leading positions across key strategic segments and strong shareholder backing. As such, it was received positively by the market and led to further improvement in Naver's stock price.

During the quarter, we also completed the sale of several holdings, including GrandVision, Avon Rubber (Avon), Melrose, and Totvs.

Based in the Netherlands, GrandVision is a leading global optical retailer. The group sells and distributes prescription eyeglasses, contacts, eye care products and sunglasses in Europe and Asia. As mentioned above, EssilorLuxottica acquired GrandVision in July. The sale price of 28 euros per share was effectively in line with our estimated intrinsic value per share.

Based in the UK, Avon has mainly operated two distinct businesses. In its Protection division, the group is a producer of gas masks for the U.S. military. In Dairy, it is a leading manufacturer of dairy liners. When we purchased the stock, Avon was transitioning away from its historical rubber-based commodity businesses and suffering from two issues. On the Protection side, it had to manage the conversion of a large contract with the U.S. Department of Defense from procurement to sustainment status (meaning lower volumes). On the Dairy side, Avon was experiencing weak performance driven by a downturn in milk prices. However, management successfully steered the business through these challenging times. More importantly, they subsequently expanded into new geographies, new end-markets, and successfully rolled out new products, which positively contributed to performance. Last quarter, Avon announced the acquisition of 3M's ballistic protection business. This appeared to give the market confidence in management's long-term plans to transform Avon into a leading manufacturer of respiratory protection systems for the military and law enforcement markets, which led to further increases in the stock price.

Based in the UK, Melrose is effectively a publicly traded private equity firm with a highly concentrated buy-and-improve strategy. Its most recent investment was the acquisition in early 2018 of GKN, a publicly listed industrial conglomerate also based in the UK. As mentioned last quarter, the stock has responded positively to reports that management is delivering the planned operating efficiencies at GKN and delivering robust performance amid cyclical and structural headwinds in its key automotive and aerospace markets.

We have written several times about Totvs in previous commentaries, and we noted in the third quarter that we were trimming the position. Based in Brazil, Totvs is the country's leading provider of enterprise software solutions. It typically targets small- and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs). We started investing in the company at a uniquely difficult time for Totvs. Given its domestic focus, large exposure to SMEs, and natural correlation with employment, the business was hit particularly hard by the multi-year economic downturn,¹¹ along with inflationary pressure on both tech wages and payroll taxes. During the period, Totvs also went through the integration of a sizable acquisition, along with a broader reorganization of its operations and management. Lastly, like many providers of software solutions, the group was shifting its business model from selling upfront licenses to offering subscriptions. We believe that while the long-term effect of this migration is an increase in the present value of the firm's customer relationships, the short-term impact is a decline in profitability. Even under normal economic conditions, such a transition can depress profits over multiple years. The confluence of so many challenges put significant pressure on the group's results, which in turn negatively impacted its share price and created what we believed to be a compelling opportunity to invest (notwithstanding the weak currency).

In typical fashion, the investment in Totvs was predicated on the combination of short-term headwinds for the stock price and compelling long-term prospects for the business. At the time, we recognized conditions could remain challenging for a few years, as we estimated that the company was only halfway through a four-year business transition that started in 2015. However, we believed the new subscription model would enhance the company's value, and that the macro environment would improve eventually. We also expected favorable results from the reorganization and the hiring of new talent. More fundamentally, we viewed Totvs as a high-quality business, with a dominant position in a market that is both difficult to penetrate and constantly changing. Its products are high value-added solutions and appear to be a must-have for users, thereby commanding renewal rates in excess of 90%.¹² Before the transition, the group had consistently generated double-digit annual revenue growth and margins above 20%. Even in the economic downturn, the business still generated returns north of 30% and strong free cash flows. The balance sheet was robust. Lastly, the chief executive had an impressive reputation in the industry, and we believed he could attract top industry talents. He was also a large shareholder in the group.

As several of the aforementioned long-term expectations became more immediate prospects, the market appeared to recognize Totvs' many compelling qualities, and the group's stock price improved significantly.

With Totvs now sold, there is little exposure left to Brazil in the portfolio. As some readers will remember, we highlighted the Brazilian opportunity several times in the earlier part of 2018. At the time, we reported that we were taking advantage of the combination of a material decline in the market and a depressed currency to invest a large portion of the portfolio's assets (over 20%) in a handful of local high-quality companies.

In each of the cases above, and consistent with our investment discipline, we sold the position as the stock price increased and the discount to intrinsic value unwound. While these companys' stocks no longer trade at what we would consider an appropriate margin of safety, we continue to view Avon, Melrose, and Totvs as high-quality, well-run businesses, and we would be interested in becoming shareholders again, subject to being able to buy their shares at a significant discount to intrinsic value.

Portfolio turnover

It is rewarding to see the prices of our holdings increase because it validates each underlying thesis and the intense research work needed to support them. It has created wealth for the Fund's shareholders (us included). Nonetheless, we find ourselves frustrated by the resulting portfolio turnover.

Based on historical experience, we would expect it could take three to five years for the market to understand the value of one of the Fund's holdings, and for its share price to converge toward our assessment of intrinsic value (itself accruing in the meantime). This means we would expect the average holding period to be three to five years and the portfolio turnover to be in the 20% to 30% range.

In practice, the discounts have unwound much faster than expected and triggered higher turnover in the portfolio. That was the case with the Fund's European investments during the sovereign-debt crisis, cyclical commodity-related investments in the economic downturn, UK holdings after Brexit, technology-driven opportunities, and most recently, the high exposure to Brazilian equities.

Part of this turnover is a function of our ability to rebalance the portfolio on an on-going basis to help ensure that our better ideas have greater weighting in the Fund. Nonetheless, even when measured in terms of names that have come in and out of the portfolio, turnover has been higher than we would want. A lower turnover means lower costs, reduced taxes, and less research work (which can mean fewer mistakes).

It is important to highlight and to understand that this higher turnover has been a product of two things: 1) the success of the Fund's investments, and 2) the flexibility to hold cash in the absence of opportunities that can satisfy all our investment criteria. In almost every case, decisions to sell were a function of the full unwinding of the discount, combined with not having the obligation to find a replacement when selling a holding. Unlike with a fully invested portfolio, we cannot justify hanging on to a stock that offers little or no upside based on the argument that no known tax-adjusted alternative could produce a better return. Embedded future losses are not an option for us. Cash is always a next-best alternative for us.

When looking at the Fund's portfolio holdings returns in years like 2012 (+37%), 2013 (+31%), 2017 (+43%), and 2019 (+34%), it is easy to see how this approach would have created high turnover. We invest in stocks that we believe trade at a discount to our estimates of intrinsic value in excess of 30%, yet in each of these years, the Fund's holdings together generated a return well in excess of 30%.¹³ That means many of the Fund's positions saw their expected upside realized in a short period (vs. only a limited increase in intrinsic value in the meantime) and had to be sold, which pushed the Fund's turnover higher.

Portfolio profile

Net of the aforementioned transactions, the Fund remained focused on our best ideas, with 24 disclosed positions at the end of the period. The top 10 positions accounted for 33% of the Fund's total assets, and 51% of

¹³  Note: The return of the Fund's portfolio holdings are gross of fees and expenses, and do not include the impact of cash and cash equivalents, which if included, would reduce the returns presented. The return of the Fund's portfolio holdings does not equate with the net performance of the Fund. An investor in the Fund would not have achieved these gross returns during these periods. The Fund's net returns during these periods were: 2012 (+24%), 2013 (+18%), 2017 (+27%), and 2019 (+24%). Please refer to the first page for overall net performance of the Fund since inception.

the invested portion. The top five accounted for 18% of total assets and 28% of the invested portion. The weighted average discount to fair value of these holdings was close to 22% at the end of the fourth quarter.¹⁴

The Fund's median capitalization size was $18 billion, and the weighted average was $55 billion at the end of the period. Sixty percent of the Fund's invested assets were in companies with a market capitalization of more than $10 billion. However, we do not consider a company's market capitalization to be a relevant criterion from an investment perspective. We are invested across a wide range of market capitalization sizes, from less than $400 million to more than $400 billion. That's been the case since the Fund's inception, and we have delivered positive returns across that market capitalization spectrum.

We are similarly indifferent to which sector a company operates in, or where it happens to be domiciled. Nonetheless, looking at the Fund's geographic profile at the end of the quarter, 44% of total assets were invested in companies domiciled in Europe (ex-UK). The Fund's exposure to the UK stood at 11% of total assets as of December 31. We were starting to see many possible compelling value opportunities in that market going into the fourth quarter, especially among high-quality cyclicals and industrials (which accounted for a meaningful portion of our idea pipeline at the time). We presumed those opportunities were driven by political uncertainties and concerns that industrial activity had entered a down-cycle. Much to our frustration, the combination of several central banks pumping more money into the markets (presumably to fight off the downturn), a favorable outcome in the elections, and a sudden shift toward so-called value stocks, caused most of these names to rally by 20% or more in the last few weeks of the year, along with some of the Fund's holdings (such as Volution and Melrose, as mentioned above).¹⁵

Due to the further reduction of the Fund's investments in Brazilian companies, emerging markets exposure fell to 8% of total assets. With the increased investment in G8, Australia rose to 3% of total assets. We still had no direct exposure to Japan as of the end of this quarter.

From a sector standpoint, we often migrate toward businesses that are cash generative and not very capital intensive. Those include service-type businesses and consumer goods companies. At the end of the quarter, discretionary and staples together accounted for 18% of total assets. The Fund had similarly meaningful exposure to industrials, which accounted for 19% of total assets. Healthcare accounted for 3% of total assets. The Fund's largest exposure, however, was to technology and communications, which accounted for 23% of total assets. We had 3% of assets invested in financials, which reflected the Fund's investment in AIB. Outside of that, we have had no exposure to banks since the Fund's inception. We noted in previous commentaries the challenges often

¹⁴  Weighted average discount to fair value refers to the weighted average discount to fair value of all securities in the Fund based on fundamental internal research fair value estimates (versus the discount to its actual market value).

¹⁵  In the United States, the Federal Reserve increased its balance sheet by about 10% between September and year-end through monthly purchases of T-bills of about $60 billion (which is expected to extend at least into the second quarter of 2020). In the meantime, the S&P 500 increased about 15% since its low in August, including the best fourth-quarter rally in six years. Since the Fed started buying T-bills, the index has gone up almost 1% for every 1% increase in the bank's balance sheet. In Europe, where members of the European Union are required to keep budget deficits below 3% of GDP, the central bank's president, Christine Lagarde, in November pointed to the 7% deficit in the United States in the past two years, and called on governments to increase spending. Even more fiscally conservative Germany announced plans for a $60 billion fiscal expansion. In the U.K., newly elected Mr. Johnson pledged to spend over $100 billion on infrastructure projects. In China, the central bank cut the amount of cash banks must hold in reserve, thus releasing an estimated $115 billion in funds for lending. The Chinese government has also been aggressively pushing for lower interest rates and further lending, in particular to SMEs, even though non-performing loans have become a more pressing issue. Companies in China are continuing to default despite having received bail-out funding as part of the 2018 rescue campaign, and corporate defaults are reaching record levels for their second year.

associated with these investments, which typically are a poor fit for our philosophy and process. Overall, the Fund had limited exposure to the credit cycle and financially levered companies.¹⁶

While we try to provide some perspective on the Fund's sector profile in these commentaries, the portfolio is simply the residual of our bottom-up approach. We also find that the Global Industry Classification Standard (GICS) classifications are of limited relevance. PageGroup, for instance, is a provider of recruitment services, yet it is classified as industrial. In our view, GICS's sector definitions are too broad to provide a meaningful picture of the Fund's underlying exposure.

More fundamentally, we think the Fund is exposed to a fairly diverse group of sectors and geographies, and is exposed to markets that we think have limited correlation. We also believe many of the Fund's holdings have particular secular dynamics that help make them more predictable and better-suited to work through potential short-term economic challenges. While it is impossible to anticipate how individual stocks will perform going forward, we would argue that the Fund's exposure to varying sectors and geographies, along with the quality of its holdings, positions it well to withstand market dislocation. To this, of course, we need to add the cash holding, which offers us the flexibility to buy when others are selling. It could also be a driver of performance through the cycle.

Investment prospects

As we review this letter, capital markets across the board continue to rally and look set to break new records. With that, our views on investment prospects can only be worse than what we laid out in recent commentaries, where we highlighted many of the significant geopolitical, macro-economic, and market-specific challenges that we see in the current environment. We would simply reiterate most of our previous concerns, with an emphasis on China risks (where the economy continues to show signs of weakness and excessive financial leverage, while recent MSCI index inclusions attract more capital).

In the later part of 2018, we also warned of signs of weakness in business activity around the world, which for the most part we continued to see through 2019. Government actions to stimulate economic activity appear to have temporarily helped in recent months. However, we believe many of the cyclical headwinds (along with some structural challenges) remain latent and they could raise concerns going forward, especially since investors took an excessive and ill-timed (on price) interest in cyclicals toward year-end.

Similarly, we mentioned in past commentaries that we believe a range of mechanisms are currently at play across capital markets that could not only be distorting prices but also restrict liquidity and amplify a potential market correction. We reiterate these concerns as well, and would suggest a healthy dose of skepticism toward the idea that passive and quantitative strategies are a panacea for positive returns going forward.

In particular, we noted the dangerous trend of seeking to subject capital and corporations to an arbitrary moral agenda, and the many challenges that it raises. Since then, the SEC reported that it sent examination letters to investment firms, as record amounts of money flow into funds that formally free themselves of the cumbersome obligation to do well (i.e., deliver positive, if not excess, returns) in order to hold themselves to the standard of doing good. There seem to be new efforts to solve associated problems such as how to measure and rank values, track moral performance, meet individual shareholder's preferences, and address conflicts with a manager's fiduciary obligations. While we are skeptical sound solutions can be articulated, we're always keen to learn from others and improve our investment approach in any way we can. We'll continue to follow this debate to see how we should be incorporating these ideas into our thinking.

(Continued)

To these distortive mechanisms, we would add the continuation of aggressive monetary and fiscal policies by many governments around the world in response to signs of economic weakness (as was our fear in the third quarter).¹⁷ This injection of even more money into the economy largely explains, in our view, the impressive performance of capital markets around the world in the past few months. We believe expectations of profit growth are unreasonably high across the board, and seem particularly unrealistic given how far this cycle has run. As such, most of the increase in market valuations appears to have come from further multiple expansion. As bottom-up investors, we are certainly unable to reconcile these price developments with the underlying fundamentals of many of the companies we follow. Instead, we believe continued ultra-low interest rates, macro themes and technical drivers are the main drivers behind the broad rally.

Concerns are being raised more openly, especially by financial institutions such as banks and insurance companies (whose long-term financial solvency is at risk) about the merits of these policies. Such concerns could translate into pressure for a change of course, and/or potentially limit central banks' ability to respond to an economic downturn. Either way, this could have a material impact on capital markets going forward.

As we explained in the past, these policies also disrupt the laws of economics, and undercut the value of fundamental analysis. With unlimited access to cheap capital, companies can buy their way into a market or a value chain by accepting uneconomical terms to replicate an existing business model. In the United States, the percentage of listed companies losing money in the previous 12 months has increased to 40%, the highest rate during non-recession periods since the late 1990s. The proportion of companies losing money for the previous three years also hit a new high according to data stretching back to the late 1990s. Furthermore, for the second year in a row, 80% of the firms that went public were loss-making (vs. less than 40% on average in the previous 40 years).¹⁸ Said otherwise, investors are likely putting high valuations on companies that exist because they could afford to destroy the economics of their own business model.

Generally speaking, we observe that investors are now paying little attention to business fundamentals. Even then, it seems few are considering whether stock prices adequately correlate with such fundamentals (which is equally critical). It appears as though investors, without any assessment of a business or what it may be worth, will buy into what they perceive to be a "good premise" (such as quality or growth) with the hope of taking advantage of a possible short-term price increase, only to drop the stock if anything in the company's next reporting cycle doesn't fully support this premise. Put another way, they appear to have traded "desirable because underpriced" for "desirable because growing/big/popular/transformative," no matter the price. By foregoing price discovery and valuation discipline, they must rely on the "greater fool theory," i.e., the hope that another investor will somehow be compelled to offer more for the stock. We have no interest in playing this game, even if it means missing out on speculative short-term paper gains.

Opportunities to deploy capital for us as long-term, fundamental, value investors are incredibly scarce. This is arguably one of the most unattractive environments we have ever seen. As we continue to re-assess what is needed for companies we follow to deliver the desired upside, we can see that most of them no longer offer even the unlikely prospect of a mediocre return, but rather the relative certainty of a permanent loss. A few years ago, our view was that many risks had materialized, so the future was likely to bring positive developments. Yet all we saw were highly discounted valuations. That was our time to invest. Today, our view is that many risks

seem likely to materialize in the months or years to come. Yet all we see are prices that aren't discounted for many risks (however probable and material). This isn't a market for us.

Despite this incredibly challenging backdrop, we will continue to put our time and efforts into finding and focusing on the few remaining value opportunities that may still exist in the market. With our broad mandate, and by consistently applying our investment philosophy and research process, we think we could identity these opportunities, and ultimately deliver long-term returns, while minimizing the risk of permanent losses. We will remain focused on high-quality companies that we believe have strong, sustainable fundamentals and compelling prospects to build shareholder value in the long run, as well as balance sheets that can withstand short-term disruption. They must also have management teams capable of steering the business through both good and bad times. And we will only put capital at risk when we think we can buy their stocks at significant discounts to our estimates of intrinsic value.

We thank you, as always, for your confidence, and we look forward to continuing to serve your interests as shareholders of the FPA International Value Fund.

economic and political risks. Foreign investments, especially those of companies in emerging markets, can be riskier, less liquid, harder to value, and more volatile than investments in the United States. Adverse political and economic developments or changes in the value of foreign currency can make it more difficult for the Fund to value the securities. Differences in tax and accounting standards, difficulties in obtaining information about foreign companies, restrictions on receiving investment proceeds from a foreign country, confiscatory foreign tax laws, and potential difficulties in enforcing contractual obligations, can all add to the risk and volatility of foreign investments.

Small and mid-cap stocks involve greater risks and they can fluctuate in price more than larger company stocks. Groups of stocks, such as value and growth, go in and out of favor which may cause certain funds to underperform other equity funds.

The Fund may invest a greater percentage of its assets in a smaller number of securities. Holding fewer securities increases the risk that the value of the Fund could go down because of the poor performance of a single investment.

Value style investing presents the risk that the holdings or securities may never reach their full market value because the market fails to recognize what the portfolio management team considers the true business value or because the portfolio management team has misjudged those values. In addition, value style investing may fall out of favor and underperform growth or other styles of investing during given periods.

securities or securities that are not comparable to those contained in an index. Indices will hold positions that are not within the Fund's investment strategy. Indices are unmanaged and do not reflect any commissions or fees which would be incurred by an investor purchasing the underlying securities. All indices include reinvestment of dividends and interest income unless otherwise noted. An investor cannot invest directly in an index.

The MSCI ACWI ex-USA Index (Net) is a float-adjusted market capitalization index that is designed to measure the combined equity market performance of developed and emerging market countries excluding the United States. Net index returns reinvest dividends after the deduction of withholding taxes, using (for international indexes) a tax rate applicable to non-resident institutional investors who do not benefit from double taxation treaties.

Other Definitions

Intrinsic value, in finance, is the "true, inherent, and essential value" of an asset independent of its market value. The portfolio manager defines the "intrinsic value" of a business to mean the discounted value of the cash that can be taken out of the business during its remaining life.

Market capitalization refers to the total value of all a company's shares of stock. It is calculated by multiplying the price of a stock by its total number of outstanding shares.

An asset's book value is equal to its carrying value on the balance sheet, and companies calculate it netting the asset against its accumulated depreciation.

Median market capitalization is the midpoint of market capitalization (market price multiplied by the number of shares outstanding) of the stocks in a portfolio. Half the stocks in the portfolio will have higher market capitalizations; half will have lower.

High-quality business — The portfolio manager believes a high quality business is one that is able to generate a return on capital in excess of its cost of capital for sustained periods of time.

Margin of safety — Buying with a "margin of safety" is when a security is purchased at a discount to the portfolio manager's estimate of its intrinsic value. Buying a security with a margin of safety is designed to protect against permanent capital loss in the case of an unexpected event or analytical mistake. A purchase made with a margin of safety does not guarantee the security will not decline in price.

Weighted average discount to intrinsic value — Refers to the weighted average discount to intrinsic value of all securities in the Fund based on fundamental research versus its actual market value

Weighted average market capitalization refers to a type of stock market index construction that is based on the market capitalization of the index's constituent stocks. Large companies would thus account for a greater portion of an index than small-cap stocks.

FPA INTERNATIONAL VALUE FUND
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

December 31, 2019

NOTE 1 — Significant Accounting Policies

FPA International Value Fund (the "Fund"), a series of the FPA Funds Trust, is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as a non-diversified, open-end management investment company. The Fund's primary investment objective is to seek above average capital appreciation over the long term while attempting to minimize the risk of capital loss. The Fund qualifies as an investment company pursuant to Financial Accounting Standard Board (FASB) Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) No. 946, Financial Services — Investment Companies. The following is a summary of significant accounting policies consistently followed by the Fund in the preparation of its financial statements.

A.  Security Valuation

The Fund's investments are reported at fair value as defined by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, ("U.S. GAAP"). The Fund generally determines its net asset value as of approximately 4:00 p.m. New York time each day the New York Stock Exchange is open. Further discussion of valuation methods, inputs and classifications can be found under Disclosure of Fair Value Measurements.

B.  Securities Transactions and Related Investment Income

Securities transactions are accounted for on the date the securities are purchased or sold. Dividend income and distributions to shareholders are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Interest income and expenses are recorded on an accrual basis. The books and records of the Fund are maintained in U.S. dollars as follows: (1) the foreign currency fair value of investment securities, and other assets and liabilities stated in foreign currencies, are translated using the daily spot rate; and (2) purchases, sales, income and expenses are translated at the rate of exchange prevailing on the respective dates of such transactions. The resultant exchange gains and losses are included in net realized or net unrealized gain (loss) in the Statement of Operations. A detailed listing of outstanding currency transactions is included in the Portfolio of Investments, in Investment Securities in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities and in Disclosure of Fair Value Measurements.

C.  Use of Estimates

The preparation of the financial statements in accordance with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

D.  Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In August 2018, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2018-13, Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820) — Disclosure Framework — Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurement. The amendments eliminate certain disclosure requirements for fair value measurements for all entities, requires public entities to disclose certain new information and modifies some disclosure requirements. The new guidance is effective for all entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019 and for interim periods within those fiscal years. An entity is permitted to early adopt either the entire standard or only the provisions that eliminate or modify requirements. The Adviser is currently evaluating the impact of this new guidance on the Fund's financial statements.

NOTE 2 — Risk Considerations

Investing in the Fund may involve certain risks including, but not limited to, those described below.

Market Risk: Because the values of the Fund's investments will fluctuate with market conditions, so will the value of your investment in the Fund. You could lose money on your investment in the Fund or the Fund could underperform other investments.

Common Stocks and Other Securities: The prices of common stocks and other securities held by the Fund may decline in response to certain events taking place around the world, including; those directly involving companies whose securities are owned by the Fund; conditions affecting the general economy; overall market changes; local, regional or global political, social or economic instability; and currency, interest rate and commodity price fluctuations. Since the Fund invests in foreign securities, it will be subject to risks not typically associated with domestic securities. Foreign investments, especially those of companies in emerging markets, can be riskier less liquid, harder to value, and more volatile than investments in the United States. Adverse political and economic developments or changes in the value of foreign currency can make it more difficult for the Fund to value the securities. Differences in tax and accounting standards, difficulties in obtaining information about foreign companies, restrictions on receiving investment proceeds from a foreign country, confiscatory foreign tax laws, and potential difficulties in enforcing contractual obligations, can all add to the risk and volatility of foreign investments. The financial problems in global economies over the past several years, including the European sovereign debt crisis, may continue to cause high volatility in global financial markets.

Risks Associated with Non-Diversification: The Fund is non-diversified, which generally means that it may invest a greater percentage of its total assets in the securities of fewer issuers than a "diversified" fund. This increases the risk that a change in the value of any one investment held by the Fund could affect the overall value of the Fund more than it would affect that of a diversified fund holding a greater number of investments. Accordingly, the Fund's value will likely be more volatile than the value of a more diversified fund.

Repurchase Agreements: Repurchase agreements permit the Fund to maintain liquidity and earn income over periods of time as short as overnight. Repurchase agreements held by the Fund are fully collateralized by U.S. Government securities, or securities issued by U.S. Government agencies, or securities that are within the three highest credit categories assigned by established rating agencies (Aaa, Aa, or A by Moody's or AAA, AA or A by Standard & Poor's) or, if not rated by Moody's or Standard & Poor's, are of equivalent investment quality as determined by the Adviser. Such collateral is in the possession of the Fund's custodian. The collateral is evaluated daily to ensure its fair value equals or exceeds the current fair value of the repurchase agreements including accrued interest. In the event of default on the obligation to repurchase, the Fund has the right to liquidate the collateral and apply the proceeds in satisfaction of the obligation.

The Fund may enter into repurchase agreements, under the terms of a Master Repurchase Agreement ("MRA"). The MRA permits the Fund, under certain circumstances including an event of default (such as bankruptcy or insolvency), to offset payables and/or receivables under the MRA with collateral held and/or posted to the counterparty and create one single net payment due to or from the Fund. However, bankruptcy or insolvency laws of a particular jurisdiction may impose restrictions on or prohibitions against such a right of offset in the event of a MRA counterparty's bankruptcy or insolvency. Pursuant to the terms of the MRA, the Fund receives securities as collateral with a fair value in excess of the repurchase price to be received by the Fund upon the maturity of the repurchase transaction. Upon a bankruptcy or insolvency of the MRA counterparty, the Fund recognizes a liability with respect to such excess collateral to reflect the Fund's obligation under bankruptcy law to return the excess to the counterparty. Repurchase agreements outstanding at the end of the period are listed in the Fund's Portfolio of Investments.

NOTE 3 — Purchases and Sales of Investment Securities

Cost of purchases of investment securities (excluding short-term investments) aggregated $153,201,239 for the year ended December 31, 2019. The proceeds and cost of securities sold resulting in net realized gains of $8,836,450 aggregated $198,069,848 and $189,233,398, respectively, for the year ended December 31, 2019. Realized gains or losses are based on the specific identification method.

NOTE 4 — Federal Income Tax

No provision for federal income tax is required because the Fund has elected to be taxed as a "regulated investment company" under the Internal Revenue Code (the "Code") and intends to maintain this qualification and to distribute each year to its shareholders, in accordance with the minimum distribution requirements of the Code, its taxable net investment income and taxable net realized gains on investments.

Distributions paid to shareholders are based on net investment income and net realized gains determined on a tax reporting basis, which may differ from financial reporting. For federal income tax purposes, the Fund had the following components of distributable earnings at December 31, 2019:

Undistributed Ordinary Income	$	2,398,981
Undistributed Capital Gains		1,423,133
Unrealized appreciation		4,851,887

The tax status of distributions paid during the fiscal years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018 were as follows:

	2019		2018
Dividends from ordinary income	$	11,600,003	$	3,871,469
Return of Capital		—		—

The cost of investment securities held at December 31, 2019, was $266,111,515 for federal income tax purposes. Gross unrealized appreciation and depreciation for all investments at December 31, 2019, for federal income tax purposes was $11,883,456 and $7,030,280, respectively resulting in net unrealized appreciation of $4,853,176. As of and during the year ended December 31, 2019, the Fund did not have any liability for unrecognized tax benefits. The Fund recognizes interest and penalties, if any, related to unrecognized tax benefits as income tax expense in the Statement of Operations. During the year, the Fund did not incur any interest or penalties. The statute of limitations remains open for the last 3 years, once a return is filed. No examinations are in progress at this time.

As of December 31, 2019, the Fund had no short-term capital or long-term capital loss carryforwards.

NOTE 5 — Advisory Fees and Other Affiliated Transactions

Pursuant to an Investment Advisory Agreement (the "Agreement"), advisory fees were paid by the Fund to First Pacific Advisors, LP (the "Adviser"). Under the terms of this Agreement, the Fund pays the Adviser a monthly fee calculated at the annual rate of 1.00% of the Fund's average daily net assets. The Adviser has contractually agreed to reimburse expenses in excess of 1.29% of the average net assets of the Fund (excluding brokerage fees and commissions, interest, taxes, shareholder service fees, fees and expenses of other funds in which the Fund invests, and extraordinary expenses) through April 30, 2020.

For the year ended December 31, 2019, the Fund paid aggregate fees and expenses of $153,332 to all Trustees who are not affiliated persons of the Adviser. Certain officers of the Fund are also officers of the Adviser.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)

NOTE 6 — Disclosure of Fair Value Measurements

The Fund uses the following methods and inputs to establish the fair value of its assets and liabilities. Use of particular methods and inputs may vary over time based on availability and relevance as market and economic conditions evolve.

Equity securities are generally valued each day at the official closing price of, or the last reported sale price on, the exchange or market on which such securities principally are traded, as of the close of business on that day. If there have been no sales that day, equity securities are generally valued at the last available bid price. Securities that are unlisted and fixed-income and convertible securities listed on a national securities exchange for which the over-the-counter ("OTC") market more accurately reflects the securities' value in the judgment of the Fund's officers, are valued at the most recent bid price. Events occurring after the close of trading on non-U.S. exchanges may result in adjustments to the valuation of foreign securities to reflect their fair value as of the close of regular trading on the NYSE. The Fund may utilize an independent fair valuation service in adjusting the valuations of foreign securities. Currency forwards are valued at the closing currency exchange rate which is not materially different from the forward rate. Short-term corporate notes with maturities of 60 days or less at the time of purchase are valued at amortized cost.

Securities for which representative market quotations are not readily available or are considered unreliable by the Adviser are valued as determined in good faith under procedures adopted by the authority of the Fund's Board of Trustees. Various inputs may be reviewed in order to make a good faith determination of a security's value. These inputs include, but are not limited to, the type and cost of the security; contractual or legal restrictions on resale of the security; relevant financial or business developments of the issuer; actively traded similar or related securities; conversion or exchange rights on the security; related corporate actions; significant events occurring after the close of trading in the security; and changes in overall market conditions. Fair valuations and valuations of investments that are not actively trading involve judgment and may differ materially from valuations of investments that would have been used had greater market activity occurred.

The Fund classifies its assets based on three valuation methodologies. Level 1 values are based on quoted market prices in active markets for identical assets. Level 2 values are based on significant observable market inputs, such as quoted prices for similar assets and quoted prices in inactive markets or other market observable inputs as noted above including spreads, cash flows, financial performance, prepayments, defaults, collateral, credit enhancements, and interest rate volatility. Level 3 values are based on significant unobservable inputs that reflect the Fund's determination of assumptions that market participants might reasonably use in valuing the assets. The valuation levels are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities. The following table presents the valuation levels of the Fund's investments as of December 31, 2019:

Investments	Level 1		Level 2		Level 3		Total
Common Stocks
Application Software	$	24,652,775		—		—	$	24,652,775

Forward Foreign Currency Contracts (currency risk)
Payable		—	$	(151,163	)		—	$	(151,163	)

Transfers of investments between different levels of the fair value hierarchy are recorded at fair value as of the end of the reporting period. There were transfers of $121,301,392 from Level 2 to Level 1 during the year ended December 31, 2019. The transfers between Level 2 and Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy during the year ended December 31, 2019, were due to changes in valuation of international equity securities from the fair value price to the exchange closing price.

Forward foreign currency contracts: Forward foreign currency contracts are agreements to exchange one currency for another at a future date and at a specified price. The Funds' transactions in forward foreign currency contracts are limited to transaction and portfolio hedging. The contractual amounts of forward foreign currency contracts do not necessarily represent the amounts potentially subject to risk. The measurement of the risks associated with these instruments is meaningful only when all related and offsetting transactions are considered and could exceed the net unrealized value shown in the tables below. Risks arise from the possible inability of counterparties to meet the terms of their contracts and from movements in currency values. Forward foreign currency contracts are valued daily at the foreign exchange rates as of the close of the New York Stock Exchange. Unrealized appreciation or depreciation on the contracts as measured by the difference between the forward foreign exchange rates at the dates of entry into the contracts and the foreign exchange rates at the end of the period is included in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities under the caption "Forward Foreign Currency Contracts." Realized gains and losses and the net change in unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on forward

foreign currency contracts for the year are included in the Statement of Operations under the caption "Forward Foreign Currency Contracts." During the year ended December 31, 2019 the Fund had average volume of forward foreign currency contracts (based on the open positions at each month end) for purchases and sales of $0 and $43,031,961, respectively.

During the year ended December 31, 2019 the Fund had entered into the following derivatives:

NOTE 7 — Line of Credit

The Fund, along with FPA Paramount, Inc. (another mutual fund managed by the Adviser), has collectively entered into an agreement that enables them to participate in a $50 million unsecured line of credit with State Street Bank and Trust. Borrowings will be made solely to temporarily finance the repurchase of Capital Stock. Interest is charged to each Fund based on its borrowings at a rate per annum equal to the Overnight LIBOR Rate plus 1.25%. In addition, the Fund and FPA Paramount, Inc. pay a combined commitment fee of 0.25% per annum on any unused portion of the line of credit.

For the year ended December 31, 2019, the Fund had no borrowings under the agreement.

NOTE 8 — Collateral Requirements

For derivatives traded under an International Swaps and Derivatives Association, Inc. Master Agreement ("ISDA Master Agreement"), the collateral requirements are typically calculated by netting the mark to market amount for each transaction under such agreement and comparing that amount to the value of any collateral currently pledged by a Fund and the counterparty. Cash collateral that has been pledged to cover obligations of a Fund and cash collateral received from the counterparty, if any, is reported separately on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities as cash pledged as collateral and cash received as collateral, respectively. Non-cash collateral pledged by a Fund, if any, is noted in the Portfolio of Investments. Generally, the amount of collateral due from or to a party is delivered to/pledged by the Fund on the next business day. Typically, the Fund and counterparties are not permitted to sell, repledge or use the collateral they receive. To the extent amounts due to the Fund from

29

FPA INTERNATIONAL VALUE FUND
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)

its counterparties are not fully collateralized, contractually or otherwise, the Fund bears the risk of loss from counterparty non-performance. The Fund attempts to mitigate counterparty risk by entering into agreements only with counterparties that it believes have the financial resources to honor their obligations and by monitoring the financial stability of those counterparties.

For financial reporting purposes, the Fund does not offset derivative assets and derivative liabilities that are subject to netting arrangements in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities.

FASB ASU No. 2011-11, Disclosures about Offsetting Assets and Liabilities, requires disclosures to make financial statements that are prepared under U.S. GAAP more comparable to those prepared under International Financial Reporting Standards. Under this guidance the Fund discloses both gross and net information about instruments and transactions eligible for offset such as instruments and transactions subject to an agreement similar to a master netting arrangement. In addition, the Fund discloses collateral received and posted in connection with master netting agreements or similar arrangements. The following table presents the Fund's OTC derivative assets, liabilities and master repurchase agreements by counterparty net of amounts available for offset under an ISDA Master Agreement or similar agreements and net of the related collateral received or pledged by the Fund as of December 31, 2019:

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED
PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

TO THE SHAREHOLDERS AND
BOARD OF TRUSTEES OF FPA INTERNATIONAL VALUE FUND

Opinion on the Financial Statements

We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities of FPA International Value Fund (the "Fund") (one of the funds constituting the FPA Funds Trust (the "Trust")), including the portfolio of investments, as of December 31, 2019, the related statement of operations for the year then ended, the statement of changes in net assets and the financial highlights for each of the two years in the period then ended and the related notes (collectively referred to as the "financial statements"). The financial highlights for the years ended December 31, 2015, December 31, 2016, and December 31, 2017 were audited by another independent registered public accounting firm whose report, dated February 20, 2018, expressed an unqualified opinion on those financial highlights. In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Fund (one of the funds constituting the FPA Funds Trust) at December 31, 2019, the results of its operations for the year then ended, and the changes in its net assets and its financial highlights for each of the two 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 Fund's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Fund's financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) ("PCAOB") and are required to be independent with respect to the Fund in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

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

Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of December 31, 2019, by correspondence with the custodian and brokers or by other appropriate auditing procedures where replies from brokers were not received. 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 FPA investment companies since 2018.

APPROVAL OF INVESTMENT ADVISORY AGREEMENT

(Unaudited)

Approval of the Advisory Agreement. At a meeting of the Board of Directors held on August 12, 2019, the Directors approved the continuation of the advisory agreement between the Fund and the Adviser (the "Advisory Agreement") for an additional one-year period through September 30, 2020, on the recommendation of the Independent Directors, who met in executive session on August 12, 2019 prior to the Board meeting to review and discuss the proposed continuation of the Advisory Agreement. The Board had also met on July 8, 2019, with the Independent Directors meeting separately prior to the Meeting in executive session with the management of the Adviser and then separately with independent counsel to evaluate the renewal of the Advisory Agreement. Prior to their July 8 meeting, the Independent Directors, through their independent counsel, had requested and received extensive materials prepared in connection with the review of the Advisory Agreements. The materials provided a broad range of information regarding the Fund, including a description of, among other matters, the terms of the Advisory Agreement; the services provided by the Adviser; the experience of the relevant investment personnel; the Fund's performance in absolute terms and as compared to the performance of peers and appropriate benchmark(s); the fees and expenses of the Fund in absolute terms and as compared to peers; and the profitability of the Adviser from serving as adviser to the Fund. Following their review at the July 8 meeting, the Independent Directors requested (through their independent counsel) and received supplemental information and responses to a number of questions relating to the materials provided by the Adviser.

In addition, the Board met regularly throughout the year and received information on a variety of topics that were relevant to its annual consideration of the renewal of the Advisory Agreement including, among other matters, Fund investment performance, compliance, risk management, liquidity, valuation, trade execution and other matters relating to Fund operations. The Independent Directors also had met with management of the Adviser (including key investment personnel) at their quarterly meetings as well as with management at other times between the quarterly meetings throughout the year. The materials specifically provided in connection with the annual review of the Advisory Agreement supplement the information received throughout the year.

At their regular Board meetings and executive sessions, the Independent Directors were also assisted by independent legal counsel. In addition to the materials provided by the Adviser, the Independent Directors received a legal memorandum from independent counsel that outlined, among other matters: the duties of the Independent Directors and relevant requirements under the 1940 Act; the general principles under state law relevant to considering the approval of advisory contracts; an adviser's fiduciary duty with respect to advisory agreements and compensation; the standards used by courts in determining whether investment advisers and investment company boards of trustees have fulfilled their duties; and factors to be considered by the Independent Directors when voting on advisory agreements. During executive session, independent legal counsel reviewed with the Independent Directors these duties, standards and factors summarized in the legal memorandum described above. The following paragraphs summarize the material information and factors considered by the Board and the Independent Directors, as well as the Directors' conclusions relative to such factors.

Nature, Extent and Quality of Services. The Board and the Independent Trustees considered information provided by the Adviser in response to their requests, as well as information provided throughout the year regarding: the Adviser and its staffing in connection with the Fund, including the Fund's portfolio manager and the number and quality of analysts the Adviser has hired who are under the direct supervision of the Fund's portfolio manager; the scope of services supervised and provided by the Adviser; and the absence of any significant service problems reported to the Board. The Board and the Independent Trustees noted the experience, length of service and the outstanding reputation of the Fund's portfolio manager, Pierre O. Py, who has managed the Fund since its inception in 2011. The Board and the Independent Trustees concluded that the nature, extent

APPROVAL OF INVESTMENT ADVISORY AGREEMENT (Continued)

(Unaudited)

and quality of services provided by the Adviser have benefitted and should continue to benefit the Fund and its shareholders.

Investment Performance. The Board and the Independent Trustees reviewed the overall investment performance of the Fund. They also received information from an independent consultant, Broadridge, regarding the Fund's performance relative to a peer group of international multi-cap core funds selected by Broadridge (the "Peer Group"). The Board and the Independent Trustees noted the Fund underperformed its Peer Group median for the five-year period ending March 31, 2019 and outperformed its Peer Group median for the one- and three-year periods ending March 31, 2019. The Board also noted that the Fund underperformed the Fund's benchmark, MSCI All Country World Ex US, for the five-year period ending March 31, 2019, and outperformed the Fund's benchmark for the one- and three-year periods ending March 31, 2019. They also noted that Broadridge had given the Fund a "Neutral" Analyst Rating. The Board and the Independent Trustees concluded that the Adviser's continued management of the Fund's investments should benefit the Fund and its shareholders.

Advisory Fees and Fund Expenses; Comparison with Peer Group and Institutional Fees. The Board and the Independent Trustees considered information provided by the Adviser regarding the Fund's advisory fees and total expense levels, noting that the Adviser had extended its waiver of a portion of the Fund's advisory fee in order to maintain a maximum limit of the Fund's expense ratio, although the Fund's current expense ratio is below that limit. The Board and the Independent Trustees reviewed comparative information regarding fees and expenses for the mutual fund industry generally and for the Peer Group. The Board and the Independent Trustees noted that the Fund's current management fee rate and total expense ratio each ranked above the average of those of the Peer Group. The Board and the Independent Trustees considered the fees charged by the Adviser for advising institutional accounts and the Adviser's discussion of the differences between the services provided by the Adviser to the Fund and those provided by the Adviser to the institutional accounts. The Board and the Independent Trustees concluded that the continued payment of advisory fees and expenses by the Fund to the Adviser was fair and reasonable and should continue to benefit the Fund and its shareholders.

Adviser Profitability and Costs. The Board and the Independent Trustees considered information provided by the Adviser regarding the Adviser's costs in providing services to the Fund, the profitability of the Adviser and the benefits to the Adviser from its relationship to the Fund. They reviewed and considered the Adviser's representations regarding its assumptions and methods of allocating certain costs, such as personnel costs, which constitute the Adviser's largest operating cost, over-head and trading costs with respect to the provision of investment advisory services. The Independent Trustees discussed with the Adviser the general process through which individuals' compensation is determined and then reviewed by the management committee of the Adviser, as well as the Adviser's methods for determining that its compensation levels are set at appropriate levels to attract and retain the personnel necessary to provide high quality professional investment advice. In evaluating the Adviser's profitability, they excluded certain distribution and marketing-related expenses. The Board and the Independent Trustees recognized that the Adviser is entitled under the law to earn a reasonable level of profits for the services that it provides to the Fund. The Board and the Independent Trustees concluded that the Adviser's level of profitability from its relationship with the Fund did not indicate that the Adviser's compensation was unreasonable or excessive.

Economies of Scale and Sharing of Economies of Scale. The Board and the Independent Trustees considered, and discussed at length with the Adviser, whether there have been economies of scale with respect to the management of the Fund, whether the Fund has appropriately benefited from any economies of scale, and whether the fee rate is reasonable in relation to the Fund's asset levels and any economies of scale that may exist.

34

APPROVAL OF INVESTMENT ADVISORY AGREEMENT (Continued)

(Unaudited)

While the Trustees noted that the Fund has experienced increases in its net assets since inception, they also considered the Adviser's representation that its internal costs of providing investment management services to the Fund have also significantly increased in recent years as a result of a number of factors, including the Adviser's substantial investment in additional professional resources and staffing. The Board and the Independent Trustees considered both quantitative and qualitative information regarding the Adviser's representation that it has also made significant investments in: (1) one analyst, traders and other investment personnel who assist with the management of the Fund; (2) new compliance, operations, and administrative personnel; (3) information technology, portfolio accounting and trading systems; and (4) office space, each of which enhances the quality of services provided to the Fund. The Board and the Independent Trustees also considered that the Adviser had agreed to forgo the compensation for providing certain financial services that it had previously received from the Fund. The Board and the Independent Trustees also considered the Adviser's willingness to close funds to new investors when it believed that a fund may have limited capacity to grow or that it otherwise would benefit fund shareholders. The Board also noted that even though the Fund has experienced net outflows during the recent period, the Adviser has continued to make investments in the services it provides to the Fund. The Board noted that the Fund does not charge sales loads.

The Board and the Independent Trustees recognized that the advisory fee schedule for the Fund does not have breakpoints. They considered that many mutual funds have breakpoints in the advisory fee structure as a means by which to share in the benefits of potential economies of scale as a fund's assets grow. They also considered that not all funds have breakpoints in their fee structures and that breakpoints are not the exclusive means of sharing potential economies of scale. The Board and the Independent Trustees considered the Adviser's statement that it believes that breakpoints currently remain inappropriate for the Fund given the ongoing additional investments the Adviser is making in its business for the benefit of the Fund, uncertainties regarding the direction of the economy, and uncertainties regarding future growth or contraction in the Fund's assets, all of which could negatively impact the profitability of the Adviser. The Board and the Independent Directors also noted that the Adviser has contractually agreed to reimburse the Fund for Total Annual Fund Operating Expenses in excess of 1.29% of the average daily net assets of the Fund (excluding brokerage fees and commissions, interest, taxes, shareholder service fees, fees and expenses of other funds in which the Fund invests, and extraordinary expenses) through April 30, 2020. The Board and the Independent Trustees concluded that the Fund is benefitting from the ongoing investments made by the Adviser in its team of personnel serving the Fund and in the Adviser's service infrastructure, and that in light of these investments, the addition of breakpoints to the Fund's advisory fee structure was not warranted at current asset levels.

Ancillary Benefits. The Board and the Independent Trustees considered other actual and potential benefits to the Adviser from managing the Fund, including the acquisition and use of research services with commissions generated by the Fund, in concluding that the contractual advisory and other fees are fair and reasonable for the Funds. They noted that the Adviser does not have any affiliates that benefit from the Adviser's relationship to the Fund.

Conclusions. The Board and the Independent Trustees determined that the Fund continues to benefit from the services of the Adviser's highly experienced portfolio manager and portfolio management team, which has produced outstanding returns since inception with low relative volatility. In addition, the Board and the Independent Trustees agreed that the Fund continues to receive high quality services from the Adviser. The Board and the Independent Trustees concluded that the current advisory fee rate is reasonable and fair to the Fund and its shareholders in light of the nature and quality of the services provided by the Adviser and the Adviser's

35

FPA INTERNATIONAL VALUE FUND
APPROVAL OF INVESTMENT ADVISORY AGREEMENT (Continued)

(Unaudited)

profitability and costs. In reaching their conclusions, the Independent Trustees also noted their intention to continue monitoring the factors relevant to the Adviser's compensation, such as changes in the Fund's asset levels, changes in portfolio management personnel and the cost and quality of the services provided by the Adviser to the Fund. On the basis of the foregoing, and without assigning particular weight to any single factor, none of which was dispositive, the Board and the Independent Trustees concluded that it would be in the best interests of the Fund to continue to be advised and managed by the Adviser and determined to approve the continuation of the current Advisory Agreement for a one-year period through September 30, 2020.

Fund Expenses

Mutual fund shareholders generally incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, and (2) ongoing costs, including advisory and administrative fees; shareholder service fees; and other Fund expenses. The Example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds. The Example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the year and held for the entire year.

Actual Expenses

The information in the table under the heading "Actual Performance" provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this column, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the first column in the row entitled "Expenses Paid During Period" to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.

Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes

The information in the table under the heading "Hypothetical Performance (5% return before expenses)" provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Fund's actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Fund's actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid

for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Fund and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of other funds.

Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transactional costs. Therefore, the information under the heading "Hypothetical Performance (5% return before expenses)" is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transactional costs were included, your costs would have been higher. Even though the Fund does not charge transaction fees, if you purchase shares through a broker, the broker may charge you a fee. You should evaluate other mutual funds' transaction fees and any applicable broker fees to assess the total cost of ownership for comparison purposes.

	Actual Performance		Hypothetical Performance (5% return before expenses)
Beginning Account Value June 30, 2019	$	1,000.00	$	1,000.00
Ending Account Value December 31, 2019	$	1,098.50	$	1,018.70
Expenses Paid During Period*	$	6.82	$	6.56

*  Expenses are equal to the Fund's annualized expense ratio of 1.29%, multiplied by the average account value over the period and prorated for the six-months ended December 31, 2019 (184/365 days).

(e)(2)0% of the services provided to the registrant described in paragraphs b-d of this Item were approved by the Audit Committee pursuant to paragraph (c)(7)(i)(C) of Rule 2-01 of Regulation S-X.  There were no services provided to the investment adviser or any entity controlling, controlled by or under common control with the adviser described in paragraphs (b) — (d) of this Item that were required to be pre-approved by the audit committee.

(f)            For the fiscal year ended December 31, 2019, if greater than 50%, specify the percentage of hours spent on the audit of the registrant’s financial statements for the most recent fiscal year that were attributed to work performed by persons who are not full-time, permanent employees of the principal accountant Ernst & Young LLP (“EY”). According to EY, such amount was below 50%; therefore disclosure item not applicable to this filing.

(g)           For the fiscal years ended December 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018, the aggregate non-audit fees billed by EY for services rendered to the investment advisor were $41,250 and $38,500, respectively.

(h)           The registrant’s Audit Committee has considered whether the provision of non-audit services that were rendered to the registrant’s investment advisor, which were not pre-approved (not requiring pre-approval), is compatible with maintaining EY’s independence.

CODE OF ETHICS FOR PRINCIPAL EXECUTIVE AND
SENIOR FINANCIAL OFFICERS

I.Covered Officers / Purpose of the Code

This Code of Ethics (the “Code”) shall apply to the Principal Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer (the “Covered Officers,” each of whom is named in Exhibit A attached hereto, as it may be amended from time to time to cover other officers performing similar functions) of FPA Funds Trust, with respect to its series, FPA Crescent Fund, FPA International Value Fund and FPA Flexible Fixed Income Fund, and FPA Capital Fund, Inc., FPA New Income, Inc., FPA Paramount Fund, Inc., FPA U.S. Value Fund, Inc. (formerly, FPA Perennial Fund, Inc.), and Source Capital, Inc. (each a “Fund” and collectively, the “Funds”), consistent with and in furtherance of their fiduciary duties, and for the purpose of promoting:

·honest and ethical conduct, including the ethical handling of actual or apparent conflicts of interest between personal and professional relationships;

·full, fair, accurate, timely and understandable disclosure in reports and documents that a registrant files with, or submits to, the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) and in other public communications made by the Company;

·compliance with applicable laws and governmental rules and regulations;

·the prompt internal reporting of violations of the Code to an appropriate person or persons identified in the Code; and

·accountability for adherence to the Code.

Each Covered Officer should adhere to a high standard of business ethics and should be sensitive to situations that may give rise to actual as well as apparent conflicts of interest.

II.Covered Officers Should Handle Ethically Actual and Apparent Conflicts of Interest

Overview.  A “conflict of interest” occurs when a Covered Officer’s private interest interferes with the interests of, or his service to, the Funds.  For example, a conflict of interest would arise if a Covered Officer, or a member of his family, receives improper personal benefits as a result of his position with the Funds.

Certain conflicts of interest arise out of the relationships between Covered Officers and the Funds and already are subject to conflict of interest provisions in the Investment Company Act of 1940 (“Investment Company Act”) and the Investment Advisers Act of 1940 (“Investment Advisers Act”).  For example, Covered Officers may not individually engage in certain transactions (such as the purchase or sale of securities or other property) with the Funds because of their status as “affiliated persons” of the Funds.  The Funds’ and the investment adviser’s compliance programs and procedures are designed to prevent, or identify and correct, violations of these provisions.  This Code does not, and is not intended to, repeat or replace these programs and procedures, and such conflicts fall outside of the parameters of this Code.

Although typically not presenting an opportunity for improper personal benefit, conflicts arise from, or as a result of, the contractual relationship between the Funds and the investment adviser of which the Covered Officers are also officers or employees.  As a result, this Code recognizes that the Covered Officers will, in the normal course of their duties (whether formally for the Funds or for the adviser, or for both), be involved in establishing policies and implementing decisions that will have different effects on the adviser and the Funds.  The participation of the Covered Officers in such activities is inherent in the contractual relationship between the Funds and the adviser and is consistent with the performance by the Covered Officers of their duties as officers of the Funds.  Thus, if performed in conformity with the provisions of the Investment Company Act and the Investment Advisers Act, such activities will be deemed to have been handled ethically.

Other conflicts of interest are covered by the Code, even if such conflicts of interest are not subject to provisions in the Investment Company Act and the Investment Advisers Act.  The following list provides examples of conflicts of interest under the Code, but Covered Officers should keep in mind that these examples are not exhaustive.  The overarching principle is that the personal interest of a Covered Officer should not be placed improperly before the interest of the Funds.

Each Covered Officer must:

·not use his personal influence or personal relationships improperly to influence investment decisions or financial reporting by the Funds whereby the Covered Officer would benefit personally to the detriment of the Funds;

·not cause the Funds to take action, or fail to take action, for the individual personal benefit of the Covered Officer rather than the benefit the Funds;

·not use material non-public knowledge of portfolio transactions made or contemplated for the Funds to trade personally or cause others to trade personally in contemplation of the market effect of such transactions;

Each Covered Officer must discuss certain material conflict of interest situations with the relevant FPA Fund’s Audit Committee.  Examples of such situations include:

·service as a director on the board of a public company;

·accepting directly or indirectly gifts and entertainment from individuals conducting or seeking to conduct business with the Funds or the Funds’ investment adviser as set forth

in the adviser’s Business Gifts and Entertainment Policy and Procedures.  For example, under the adviser’s policy and procedures, Covered Officers may accept gifts from a single giver in aggregate amounts not exceeding $100 per year, and may attend business meals and other entertainment events at the expense of a giver as long as such entertainment is business related, the expense is reasonable and both the giver(s) and the Covered Officer(s) are present, and not so frequent as to raise any question of impropriety;

·any ownership interest in, or any consulting or employment relationship with, any of the Funds’ service providers, other than its investment adviser, principal underwriter, administrator or any affiliated person thereof;

·a direct or indirect financial interest in commissions, transaction charges or spreads paid by the Funds for effecting portfolio transactions or for selling or redeeming shares other than an interest arising from the Covered Officer’s employment, such as compensation or equity ownership.

III.Disclosure and Compliance

·Each Covered Officer should familiarize himself with the disclosure requirements generally applicable to the Funds;

·each Covered Officer should not knowingly misrepresent, or cause others to misrepresent, facts about the Funds to others, whether within or outside the Funds, including to the Funds’ directors and auditors, and to governmental regulators and self-regulatory organizations;

·each Covered Officer should, to the extent appropriate within his area of responsibility, consult with other officers and employees of the Funds and the adviser with the goal of promoting full, fair, accurate, timely and understandable disclosure in the reports and documents the Funds file with, or submit to, the SEC and in other public communications made by the Funds; and

·it is the responsibility of each Covered Officer to promote compliance with the standards and restrictions imposed by applicable laws, rules and regulations.

IV.Reporting and Accountability

Each Covered Officer must:

·upon adoption of the Code (or thereafter as applicable, upon becoming a Covered Officer), affirm in writing to the Board that he has received, read, and understands the Code;

·annually thereafter affirm to the Board that he has complied with the requirements of the Code;

·not retaliate against any other Covered Officer or any employee of the Funds or their affiliated persons for reports of potential violations that are made in good faith; and

·notify the Audit Committee promptly if he knows of any violation of this Code.  Failure to do so is itself a violation of this Code.

The Audit Committee is responsible for applying this Code to specific situations in which questions are presented under it and has the authority to interpret this Code in any particular situation.

The Funds will follow these procedures in investigating and enforcing this Code:

·the Audit Committee and/or its designated representative(s) will take all appropriate action to investigate any reported potential violations;

·if the Audit Committee determines that a violation has occurred, it will inform and make a recommendation to the Board, which will consider appropriate action, which may include review of, and appropriate modifications to, applicable policies and procedures; a reprimand; a suspension; or a recommendation to dismiss the Covered Officer;

·the Audit Committee will be responsible for granting waivers, as appropriate; and

·any changes to or waivers of this Code will, to the extent required, be disclosed as provided by SEC rules.

V.Other Policies and Procedures

This Code shall be the sole code of ethics adopted by the Funds for purposes of Section 406 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act and the rules and forms applicable to registered investment companies thereunder.  Insofar as other policies or procedures of the Funds, the Funds’ adviser, principal underwriter, or other service providers govern or purport to govern the behavior or activities of the Covered Officers who are subject to this Code, they are superseded by this Code to the extent that they overlap or conflict with the provisions of this Code.  The Funds’ and their investment adviser’s Code of ethics under Rule 17j-1 under the Investment Company Act are separate requirements applying to the Covered Officers and others, and are not part of this Code.

VI.Amendments

Any amendments to this Code, other than amendments to Exhibit A, must be approved or ratified by a majority vote of the Board, including a majority of independent directors.

VII.Confidentiality

All reports and records prepared or maintained pursuant to this Code will be considered confidential and shall be maintained and protected accordingly.  Except as otherwise required by law or this Code, such matters shall not be disclosed to anyone other than the Funds’ Board, its counsel, and FPA’s Management Committee.

VIII.Internal Use

The Code is intended solely for the internal use by the Funds and does not constitute an admission, by or on behalf of any Fund, as to any fact, circumstance, or legal conclusion.
