Shareholders’ Letter
(Unaudited)

July 12, 2019

To the Shareholders of the Aegis Funds:

We are pleased to present the Aegis Value Fund’s Semi-Annual Report for the six months ended June 30, 2019.

If at any time you would like further information about the Fund, please go to our website at www.aegisfunds.com for a more detailed look at our market commentary and the Fund’s performance record. We will briefly review the objective and strategy of the Fund.

The Aegis Value Fund seeks to achieve long-term, capital appreciation. Our strategy is to invest in a well- researched portfolio of small-cap equities trading at a fraction of their intrinsic worth. We believe the equity markets are often inefficient, and we employ a contrarian, company-focused approach, selecting each stock individually on its own merit. We purchase shares in companies when we judge share prices to be significantly undervalued relative to our assessment of fundamental value, focusing on stocks trading at low price-to-book or price-to-future cash flow ratios, segments of the market where we believe academic research shows historical returns have significantly outpaced the overall market. We often invest in companies when they are misunderstood, out of favor, or neglected, and generally hold these companies until share prices reach our estimate of intrinsic value.

Performance

Performance data quoted represents past performance. Past performance does not guarantee future results. Investment return and principal value of an investment will fluctuate so that an investor’s shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. Current performance may be lower or higher than the performance data quoted. Please call 800-528-3780 to obtain performance data current to the most recent month-end. The Aegis Value Fund Class I and Class A have an annualized gross expense ratio of 1.52% and 1.53%, respectively per the Fund’s most recent Prospectus. The Aegis Value Fund Class I and Class A’s net annualized expense ratio, after fee waivers, is 1.50%, and 1.75%, respectively. Please refer to the Fund’s most recent financial highlights table in this Annual Report, which contains a more recent net expense ratio. Under the waiver, the Advisor has contractually agreed to limit certain fees and/or reimburse certain of the Fund’s expenses through April 30, 2020. Performance data for the AVFAX shares reflect the Class A maximum sales charge of 3.75%. Performance data shown for the Class A-at NAV does not reflect the maximum sales charge. If reflected, total return would be reduced.

From inception of the Aegis Value Fund’s Class I shares on May 15, 1998 through June 30, 2019, the Fund Class I shares have posted a cumulative gain of 544.84%, compared to a cumulative gain of 381.06% in our primary small-cap benchmark, the Russell 2000 Value Index. During the same period, the Russell 2000 Index of small-cap stocks posted a cumulative gain of 339.23%, and the S&P 500 Index of large cap stocks posted a cumulative gain of 295.87%.

From inception of the Aegis Value Fund’s Class A shares on February 26, 2014 through June 30, 2019, the Fund Class A shares have posted a cumulative gain of 4.40% at net asset value, compared to a cumulative gain of 35.71% in our primary small-cap benchmark, the Russell 2000 Value Index. During the same period, the Russell 2000 Index of small-cap stocks posted a cumulative gain of 42.76%, and the S&P 500 Index of large cap stocks posted a cumulative gain of 77.90%.

For the six-month period ending June 30, 2019 the Fund Class I shares gained 12.76%, underperforming the Russell 2000 Value Index, which increased 13.47%. The Russell 2000 Index gained 16.98% while the S&P 500 Index gained 18.54% over the same period. Fund performance was most positively impacted by one of its largest holdings, Fly Leasing (FLY). Shares of the global commercial passenger aircraft lessor soared nearly 65% in the first half of 2019 as both 2018 fourth quarter and 2019 first quarter results beat expectations. In total, Fly Leasing contributed an estimated 3.5% to Fund returns in the first half of 2019. The Fund’s investment in a portfolio of 13 precious metals mining companies generated strong overall returns, adding an estimated 7.0% to first half performance as gold rose nearly 10% over the period to a nearly six-year high above $1,400. Other investments with notable positive contributions to performance include Mercer Intl. (MERC), Strad, Inc. (SDY-TO) and Delta Apparel (DLA). As a group, investments in five energy exploration and production companies most negatively impacted first half performance detracting a combined 3.8%. Additionally, oil and gas frac-sand provider Source Energy (SHLE-TO) cost the Fund just over one percent. The Fund’s two base metal producer holdings, Amerigo Resources (ARG-TO) and Trevali Mining (TV-TO), also declined in the first half, with each detracting approximately one percent from returns.

A more in-depth review of the Fund’s performance, outlook and general market commentary can be found in the first half 2019 Manager’s Letter. For those of you who do not automatically receive our quarterly manager’s letters in the mail from your broker, they are available on our website at www.aegisfunds.com/library or by calling us at 800-528-3780.

Mutual fund investing involves risk. Principal loss is possible. Investments in foreign securities involve greater volatility and political, economic and currency risks and differences in accounting methods. Investments in small and mid-cap companies involve additional risks such as limited liquidity and greater volatility. Investment concentration in a particular sector involves risk of greater volatility and principal loss. Value stocks may fall out of favor with investors and underperform growth stocks during given periods.

About Your Fund’s Expenses
June 30, 2019

(Unaudited)

Important Note

As a shareholder of the Fund, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including sales charges (loads) on purchase payments and CDSC redemption fees, and (2) ongoing costs, including advisory fees, distribution (12b-1) fees (Class A only) and other Fund expenses. If you purchase Class A shares of the Fund you will pay an initial sales charge of 3.75% when you invest. Class I shares of the Fund charge no sales load.

This 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 period and held for the entire period, January 1, 2019 – June 30, 2019, for the Aegis Value Fund Class I and Class A.

Actual expenses

The table below provides information about actual account values and actual expenses.

Hypothetical example for comparison purposes

The below table also 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 the 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 cost, such as sales charges (loads), or redemption fees (if applicable). Therefore, the hypothetical section of the tables is useful in comparing ongoing cost only, and will not help you determine the relative total cost of owning different funds. In addition, if these transactional costs were included, your cost would have been higher.

Please see performance data disclosure on page 2.

For purposes of this report, the securities in the portfolio have been organized by their respective GICS code. The fund does not rely exclusively on GICS Industry classifications for purposes of its industry concentration policy. For example, within the Metals & Mining sector, the Fund utilizes the GICS Sub-Industry classifications, or aggregates thereof as shown above, for purposes of determining compliance with its industry concentration policy. In addition, in cases where a holding has been judged to be misclassified by GICS, or has not been classified by GICS, the Fund uses a Fund-determined GICS framework classification.

1. The Organization

The Aegis Funds (comprised of the Aegis Value Fund) (the “Fund”) is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the “1940 Act”) as a diversified open- end management investment company. The shares of the Aegis Funds are issued in multiple series, with each series, in effect, representing a separate fund.

The Fund’s principal investment goal is to seek long-term capital appreciation by investing primarily in common stocks that are believed to be significantly undervalued relative to the market based on a company’s book value, revenues, or cash flow.

The Fund currently offers Class A and Class I shares. The Fund’s Class A shares commenced operations February 26, 2014. The Fund’s Class I commenced operations May 15, 1998. Each share class represents an equal pro rata interest in the Fund and provides the shareholder equal voting rights regarding any matters relating solely to that particular class. The Fund’s Class A shares are subject to a 3.75% front end sales load and 1.00% contingent deferred sales charge for redemptions made within 2 years of purchase date.

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

As an investment company, as defined in Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Update 2013-08, the Fund follows accounting and reporting guidance under FASB Accounting Standards Codification Topic 946, “Financial Services – Investment Companies”.

Security valuation. Investments in securities are valued based on market quotations or on data furnished by an independent pricing service. Investments in securities traded on a national securities exchange (or reported on the NASDAQ National Market) are stated at the last reported sales price or a market’s official close price on the day of valuation; other securities traded in the over-the-counter market and listed securities for which no sale was reported on that date are stated at the last close price, or the average of bid and ask price for NASDAQ National Market securities. Short- term (less than 60 days maturity) notes are stated at amortized cost, which is equivalent to value. Restricted securities, securities for which market quotations are not readily available, and securities with market quotations that Aegis Financial Corporation (the “Advisor”) does not believe are reflective of market value are valued at fair value as determined by the Advisor under the supervision of the Board of Trustees (the “Board”). In determining fair value, the Board procedures consider all relevant qualitative and quantitative factors available. These factors are subject to change over time and are reviewed periodically. The values assigned to fair value investments are based on available information and do not necessarily represent amounts that might ultimately be realized, since such amounts depend on future developments inherent in

18

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies – (continued)

long-term investments. Further, because of the inherent uncertainty of valuation, those estimated values may differ significantly from the values that would have been used had a ready market for the investments existed, and the differences could be material. Where a security is traded in more than one market, which may include foreign markets, the securities are generally valued on the market considered by the Advisor to be the primary market. The Fund will value its foreign securities in U.S. dollars on the basis of the then-prevailing currency exchange rates.

In accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”), fair value is defined as the price that the Fund would receive to sell an investment or pay to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction with an independent buyer in the principal market, or in the absence of a principal market, the most advantageous market for the investment or liability. GAAP establishes a three-tier hierarchy to distinguish between (1) inputs that reflect the assumptions market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability developed based on market data obtained from sources independent of the reporting entity (observable inputs) and (2) inputs that reflect the reporting entity’s own assumptions about the assumptions market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability developed based on the best information available in the circumstances (unobservable inputs) and to establish classification of fair value measurements for disclosure purposes. Various inputs are used in determining the value of the Fund’s investments. The inputs are summarized in the three broad levels listed below:

Common stocks, preferred stocks and warrants. Securities traded or dealt in one or more domestic securities exchanges, excluding the National Association of Securities Dealers’ Automated Quotation System (“NASDAQ”), and not subject to restrictions

19

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies – (continued)

against resale shall be valued on the business day as of which such value is being determined at the close of the exchange representing the principal market for such securities at the last quoted sales price or in the absence of a sale, at the mean of the last bid and asked prices. Securities traded or dealt in the NASDAQ and not subject to restrictions against resale shall be valued in accordance with the NASDAQ Official Closing Price. Securities traded on the NASDAQ Stock Market for which there were no transactions on a particular day are valued at the mean of the last bid and asked prices. To the extent these securities are actively traded and valuation adjustments are not applied, they are categorized in Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy. Stocks traded on inactive markets or valued by reference to similar instruments are categorized in Level 2.

The inputs or methodology used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities. The following is a summary of the inputs used to value the Fund’s investments as of June 30, 2019:

When market quotations are not readily available, any security or other asset is valued at its fair value as determined in good faith under procedures approved by the Board. If events occur that will affect the value of the Fund’s portfolio securities before the net asset value (“NAV”) has been calculated (a “significant event”), the security will generally be priced using a fair value procedure. The Board has adopted specific procedures for valuing portfolio securities and delegated the responsibility of fair value determinations to the Valuation Committee. Some of the factors that may be considered by the Valuation Committee in determining fair value are fundamental analytical data relating to the investment; the nature and duration of any restriction on

disposition; trading in similar securities of the same issuer or comparable companies; information from broker-dealers; and an evaluation of the forces that influence the market in which the securities are purchased or sold.

The following is a summary of quantitative information about significant unobservable valuation inputs for the Fund approved by the Valuation Committee for Level 3 Fair Value Measurements for investments held as of June 30, 2019:

21

Notes to Financial Statements

June 30, 2019

(Unaudited)

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies – (continued)

The following is a reconciliation of the Fund’s Level 3 assets for which significant unobservable inputs were used to determine fair value for the period ended June 30, 2019:

During the period ended June 30, 2019, there were no transfers into or out of Level 3 for the Fund.

In August 2018, FASB issued ASU 2018-13, Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820): Disclosure Framework—Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurement (“ASU 2018-13”). The primary focus of ASU 2018-13 is to improve the effectiveness of the disclosure requirements for fair value measurements. The changes affect all companies that are required to include fair value measurement disclosures. In general, the amendments in ASU 2018-13 are effective for all entities for fiscal years and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2019. An entity is permitted to early adopt the removed or modified disclosures upon the issuance of ASU 2018-13 and may delay adoption of the additional disclosures, which are required for public companies only, until their effective date. Management is currently evaluating the impact these changes will have on the Fund’s financial statements and disclosures.

Foreign risk and currency translation. The Fund may invest directly in foreign securities. Financial market fluctuations in any country where the Fund has investments will likely affect the value of the securities that the Fund owns in that country. These movements will affect the Fund’s share price and investment performance. The political, economic, and social structures of some countries may be less stable and more volatile than those in the United States. The risks of foreign markets include currency fluctuations, possible nationalization or expropriation of assets, extraordinary taxation or exchange controls, political or social instability, unfavorable diplomatic developments, and certain custody and settlement risks. In addition to these risks, many foreign markets have less trading volume and less liquidity than the U.S. markets, and therefore prices in foreign markets can be highly volatile.

22

Notes to Financial Statements

June 30, 2019

(Unaudited)

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies – (continued)

Foreign markets may also have less protection for investors than the U.S. markets. Foreign issuers may be subject to less government supervision. It may also be difficult to enforce legal and shareholder/bondholder rights in foreign countries. There is no assurance that the Fund will be able to anticipate these risks or counter their effects.

The accounting records of the Fund are maintained in U.S. dollars. Foreign currency amounts are translated into U.S. dollars at the current rate of exchange to determine the value of investments, assets and liabilities. Purchases and sales of securities, and income and expenses are translated at the prevailing rate of exchange on the respective date of these transactions. The Fund does not isolate that portion of the results of operations resulting from changes in foreign exchange rates on investments from fluctuations arising from changes in market prices of securities held. These fluctuations are included with the net realized and unrealized gains or losses from investments.

Reported net realized foreign exchange gains or losses arise from sales and maturities of short-term securities, sales of foreign currencies, currency gains or losses realized between the trade and settlement dates on securities transactions and the difference between the amounts of dividends, interest and foreign withholding taxes recorded on the Fund’s books and the U.S. dollar equivalent of the amounts actually received or paid. Net unrealized foreign currency gains and losses arise from changes in the fair values of assets and liabilities, other than investments in securities at each reporting period, resulting from changes in the exchange rate. These fluctuations are included with the net realized and unrealized gains or losses from investments.

Federal income and excise taxes. The Fund’s policy is to comply with the requirements of Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code that are applicable to regulated investment companies and to distribute substantially all investment company taxable income and net capital gain to shareholders in a manner that results in no tax cost to the Fund. Therefore, no federal income tax provision is required.

Distributions to shareholders. Distributions to the Fund’s shareholders, which are determined in accordance with income tax regulations, are recorded on the ex- dividend date. Distributions of net investment income, if any, are made at least annually for the Fund. Net realized gains from investment transactions, if any, will be distributed to shareholders annually.

23

Notes to Financial Statements

June 30, 2019

(Unaudited)

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies – (continued)

The character of distributions made during the year from net investment income or net realized gain may differ from the characterization for federal income tax purposes due to differences in the recognition of income, expense and gain/(loss) items for financial statement and tax purposes. Where appropriate, reclassifications between net asset accounts are made for such differences that are permanent in nature.

Use of estimates. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Security Transactions, Income and Expenses. The Fund records security transactions based on the trade date. Interest income is recognized on the accrual basis and includes accretion of discounts and amortization of premiums. The specific identification method is used to determine book and tax cost basis when calculating realized gains and losses. Dividend income is recognized on the ex-dividend date, and interest income is recognized on the accrual basis and includes accretion of discounts and amortization of premiums. Withholding taxes on foreign dividends have been provided for in accordance with the Fund’s understanding of the applicable country’s tax rules and rates.

The Fund’s class-specific expense is charged to the operations of that class of shares. Income and expenses (other than expenses attributable to a specific class) and realized and unrealized gains and losses on investments are allocated to each class of shares based on the class respective net assets to the total net assets of the Fund.

Indemnifications. In the normal course of business, the Fund enters into contracts that contain a variety of representations, which provide general indemnifications. The Fund’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Fund that have not yet occurred. However, based on experience, the Fund expects the risk of loss to be remote.

Significant Concentrations. The Fund maintains a demand deposit in excess of Federal Deposit Insurance Company (“FDIC”) Insurance limits. As a result, the Fund is exposed to credit risk in the event of insolvency or other failure of the institution to meet its obligations. The Fund manages this risk by dealing with a major financial institution and monitoring its credit worthiness.

3. Advisory Fees and Other Transactions with Affiliates

The Fund entered into an investment management and advisory services agreement (the “Agreement”) with the Advisor that provides for fees to be computed at an annual rate of 1.20% of the Fund’s average daily net assets. The Agreement shall remain in force through December 31, 2019 and may be renewed for additional one-year periods thereafter if approved annually by a majority of the independent members of the Board. The Agreement may be terminated at any time, without penalty, by the Fund on sixty (60) days’ written notice or by the Advisor on ninety (90) days’ written notice. During the six months ended June 30, 2019, the Fund incurred $659,277 in investment advisory fees. The Fund and the Advisor have also entered into an expense limitation agreement which shall remain in force through April 30, 2020, that provides for an advisory fee waiver and expense reimbursement from the Advisor if the Fund’s expenses, exclusive of taxes, interest, fees incurred in acquiring or disposing of portfolio securities, and extraordinary expenses, exceed 1.75% for Class A and 1.50% for Class I, of the Fund’s average daily net assets. During the six months ended June 30, 2019, the Advisor waived fees in the amount of $74,374, Class A recouped $526 and Class I waived $74,900.

The Fund has agreed to repay the Advisor for amounts waived or reimbursed by the Advisor pursuant to the expense limitation agreement provided that such repayment does not cause the Fund’s expenses, exclusive of taxes, interest, fees incurred in acquiring or disposing of portfolio securities and extraordinary expenses, to exceed 1.75% for Class A and 1.50% for Class I and the repayment is made within three years from the month in which the Advisor incurred the expense. As of June 30, 2019, there was $172,341 of fees available to be recovered no later than June 30, 2022, of which, $24,395, $40,690 and $107,256 are recoverable no later than June 30, 2020, 2021 and 2022, respectively for the Fund.

Certain officers and Trustees of the Fund are also officers of the Advisor. The Fund pays each Trustee not an officer of the Advisor fees in cash or Fund shares of $1,000 for each attended board meeting for the Fund and $500 for each attended audit committee meeting for the Fund. In addition, the Fund reimburses the Advisor for chief compliance officer services, a yearly amount of $40,000 paid on a quarterly basis.

4. Distribution and Service Plan

The Fund has adopted a distribution and service plan (the “Plan”) pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act for its Class A Shares. Rule 12b-1 provides that an investment company that bears any direct or indirect expense of distributing its shares must do so only in accordance with the Plan permitted by Rule 12b-1. Pursuant to the Plan, the Fund makes payments to Quasar Distributors, LLC, the Fund’s distributor (the “Distributor”), the Advisor, financial intermediaries or others to reimburse such

25

(Unaudited)

4. Distribution and Service Plan – (continued)

parties for distribution and/or shareholder servicing activity in an amount not to exceed 0.25% of its Class A shares average daily net assets on an annual basis. The distribution fees are “asset based” sales charges and, therefore, long-term shareholders may pay more in total sales charges than the economic equivalent of the maximum front-end sales charge permitted by the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA). The Class A shares did not incur any expenses pursuant to the 12b-1 Plan for the six months ended June 30, 2019.

5. Investment Transactions

Purchases and sales of long-term investment securities (excluding short-term investments) for the Fund are presented below for the six months ended June 30, 2019.

6. Distributions to Shareholders and Tax Components of Net Assets

As of December 31, 2018, the components of accumulated earnings (losses) for income tax purposes were as follows:

The difference between cost amounts for financial statement and federal income tax purposes is due primarily to timing differences in recognizing certain gains and losses in security transactions.

The differences between book-basis and tax-basis unrealized appreciations are attributable primarily to the tax deferral of losses on wash sales and PFIC mark to market adjustments.

6. Distributions to Shareholders and Tax Components of Net Assets – (continued)

Other accumulated gain/(loss) is generally comprised of capital loss carryforwards, and qualified late-year loss deferrals.

As of December 31, 2018, the Fund did not have any capital loss carryforwards. The Fund utilized $5,795,788 in short-term capital loss carryovers and $2,151,396 in long-term capital loss carryovers during the year ended December 31, 2018.

At December 31, 2018, the Fund deferred, on a tax basis, $244,935 in qualified late year losses.

The tax components of dividends paid during the year ended December 31, 2018 and the year ended December 31, 2017 were as follows:

GAAP requires an evaluation of tax positions taken (or expected to be taken) in the course of preparing the Fund’s tax returns to determine whether these positions meet a “more-likely-than-not” standard that, based on technical merits, have a more than fifty percent likelihood of being sustained by a taxing authority upon examination. A tax position that meets the “more-likely-than-not” recognition threshold is measured to determine the amount of benefit to recognize in the financial statements. The Fund recognizes interest and penalties, if any, related to unrecognized tax benefits as an interest expense in the Statement of Operations.

GAAP requires management of the Fund to analyze all open tax years, as defined by IRS statute of limitations for all major jurisdictions, including federal tax authorities and certain state tax authorities. Open tax years include the tax years ended December 31, 2015 through December 31, 2018. As of and during the year ended December 31, 2018, the Fund did not have a liability for any unrecognized tax benefits. The Fund files U.S. Federal income and excise tax returns, as required. The Fund’s Federal income tax returns are subject to examination by the IRS for a period of three fiscal years after they are filed. The Fund has no examination in progress and are not aware of any tax positions for which it is reasonably possible that the total amounts of unrecognized tax benefits will significantly change in the next twelve months.

8. Regulatory Matters

In August 2018, the Securities and Exchange Commission issued Final Rule Release No. 33-10532, Disclosure Update and Simplification, which in part amends certain disclosure requirements of Regulation S-X that have become redundant, duplicative, overlapping, outdated, or superseded, in light of other Commission disclosure requirements, U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles, or changes in the information environment. The amendments are intended to facilitate the disclosure of information to investors and simplify compliance without significantly altering the total mix of information provided to investors. The effective date for these disclosures was November 5, 2018. Management has adopted these amendments as currently required and these are reflected in the Fund’s financial statements and related disclosures. Certain prior year information has been adjusted to conform with these amendments.

9. Subsequent Events

In connection with the preparation of the financial statements of the Fund as of and for the six months ended June 30, 2019, events and transactions subsequent to June 30, 2019 have been evaluated by management for possible adjustment and/or disclosure. Management has determined that there were no material events that would require disclosure in the Fund’s financial statements.

Basis for the Board’s Approval of Advisory Agreement

At a meeting held on February 6, 2019, the Board considered and approved the advisory agreement (the “Agreement”) between the Aegis Value Fund (“Fund”) and Aegis Financial Corporation (“AFC”). The Board based its approval of the Agreement on its review of information provided by AFC. Such information included information provided by AFC in response to a request for information made pursuant to Section 15(c) of the 1940 Act (the “Section 15(c) Information”). In its deliberations on the Agreement, the Board considered the Section 15(c) Information provided to it by AFC and contained in the Board materials. The Board did not identify any particular aspect of the Section 15(c) information that was all important or controlling, and evaluated all information available to it. The Board concluded that the terms of the Agreement are appropriate, that the fees to be paid by the Fund are reasonable in light of the services to be provided to the Fund and that the Agreement should be renewed.

(Unaudited)

In approving the renewal of the Agreement, the Board, including the Independent Trustees, considered and reached the following conclusions with respect to the following factors.

A. Nature, Extent and Quality of Services Provided by AFC

The Trustees reviewed and considered the scope of services provided by AFC to the Fund as well as the nature and quality of these services. The Trustees evaluated information concerning AFC’s discretionary investment advisory services and AFC’s compliance policies and procedures, including its trade allocation and brokerage allocation procedures. They considered information regarding AFC’s resources and compensation arrangements, including its in-house research and portfolio management support capabilities and recent changes to personnel. On the basis of these and other factors, the Trustees determined that the scope, nature and quality of the services provided by AFC to the Fund are consistent with its duties under the Agreement and appropriate and consistent with the investment program of the Fund, and concluded that the nature and quality of services provided by AFC to the Fund are appropriate.

B. The Investment Performance of the Fund

In connection with its review, the Trustees reviewed information prepared by AFC and USBFS comparing the Fund’s performance with the performance of its benchmark and the performance of comparable funds. The Trustees considered that some of the information provided to them was derived from information made available by Morningstar (an independent research service) and some of the information was derived from information provided by the Fund’s administrator (i.e., information regarding the performance of the Fund for the 1-year, 3-year, 5-year, 10-year and since inception periods ended December 31, 2018). The Trustees also considered the Fund’s active share analysis prepared by AFC and active share percentage comparison with comparable funds, as well as portfolio manager tenure and manager ownership level comparisons of the Fund and funds in the small cap value universe.

The Trustees noted that during the one-year period ending December 31, 2018, the Fund’s Class I shares returned -16.98%, and the Class A Share returned -17.20% without load, -20.30% with load. Its index benchmark, the Russell 2000 Value Index, returned -12.86% during the same period. For the three-year period ending December 31, 2018, the Class I Share had an average annual total return of 18.49%, and the Class A Share returned 18.24% without load, 16.73% with load. The average three-year annual total return for the Russell 2000 Value Index was 7.37%. For the five-year period, the Class I Share had an average annual total return of -1.29%, versus the average annual total return for the index of 3.61%. For the ten-year period, the Class I Share had an average annual total return of 14.20%, versus the average annual total

return for the index of 10.40%. From inception on May 15, 1998 through December 31, 2018, the Class I Share has returned an average annual total return of 8.82% versus 7.25% for the index. From inception on February 26, 2014 through December 31, 2018, the Class A share (without load) returned -1.55%, and the Class A shares (with load) returned -2.33%, compared to the Russell 2000 Value Index, which returned 3.77% for the same period.

Based on the Fund’s comparative performance information presented at the meeting, the Board concluded that the Fund’s performance was satisfactory.

C. AFC Profitability and Other Benefits

The Trustees reviewed AFC’s draft fiscal year 2018 income statement and balance sheet. They considered information provided by AFC with respect to (i) the profitability of managing the Fund to the Adviser, (ii) to the extent applicable, the level of the Fund’s net assets and expenses reimbursed by the Adviser under the Fund’s Expense Limitation Agreement, and (iii) other benefits accruing to AFC as a result of its relationship with the Fund, including the fact that the Fund’s public performance record may at times attract inquiries regarding AFC’s advisory services and may result in the acquisition of new advisory clients for AFC.

The Trustees determined that the Adviser’s profitability and other benefits, including soft dollars, to the Adviser from providing advisory services to the Fund are reasonable and would not preclude them from approving the renewal of the Agreement.

D. Economies of Scale

The Trustees reviewed information regarding economies of scale and other efficiencies resulting from increases, if any, in the Fund’s asset levels and whether the existing advisory fee arrangement might require adjustment or breakpoints. The Trustees noted that, from January 2018 to December 2018, the assets of the Fund decreased from $121 million to $102 million and that the Adviser continues to reimburse expenses to the Fund under the Expense Limitation Agreement.

The Trustees determined that the Fund would have to show substantial growth in assets before any material economies of scale would be achieved and that under the current circumstances changes to the advisory fee arrangement were not warranted at this time.

E. Comparisons of the Services to be Rendered and Fee Amounts

The Trustees reviewed the advisory fee paid to AFC and the Fund’s overall gross expense ratio and net expense ratio, and considered whether the fee was reasonable in light of the services provided and the fees charged by other advisers to the 393 small

32

(Unaudited)

cap value funds currently tracked by Morningstar (“Peer Group Funds”). In evaluating the Fund’s advisory fee, the Trustees took into account the demands, complexity and quality of the investment management of the Fund. They noted that it is not anticipated that the research process, portfolio composition methodology or general investment strategy will materially change.

The Trustees considered that the Fund paid AFC an advisory fee of 1.20% of average daily net assets for the year ended December 31, 2018 and that other expenses for Class I shares were capped at 0.30%, for a total net expense ratio of 1.50% for Class I shares. They considered information reflecting that the Class I shares’ actual gross expenses for the year ended December 31, 2018 were approximately 1.52%, and for the year ended December 31, 2017 were 1.53% of average daily net assets. They considered information reflecting that other expenses for Class A shares were capped at 0.55%, for a total net expense ratio of 1.75% for Class A shares. They considered information showing that the Class A shares’ actual gross expenses for the year ended December 31, 2018 were approximately 1.53% and for the year ended December 31, 2017 were 1.70%. During 2018, AFC was able to recoup some of the expenses waived from the Fund Class A shares as its gross expense ratio 1.53% was lower than the 1.75% expense limit. They noted that the expenses of the Class I and Class A shares above the respective caps are paid by AFC under the Expense Limitation Agreement between the Fund and AFC. AFC reimbursed the Fund $21,165, $39,941, and $6,001 in 2018, 2017, and 2016 respectively.

The Trustees considered information showing that the median gross expense ratio of the Peer Group Funds is 1.29%, and that the median net expense ratio of the Peer Group Funds is 1.19%. They reviewed information showing that the median management fee percentage of the Peer Group Funds is 0.80%, with an average size of the funds being $309.0 million. They also considered information showing that the range of net expense ratios (less 12b-1) for the Peer Group Funds was between 0.06% and 1.96%, and that the range of advisory fees for the Peer Group Funds was between 0.02% and 1.25%. They also considered information concerning the fees charged by the Adviser to its managed accounts and the strategies employed for those accounts. They also considered the differences between the services provided by the Adviser to those accounts and to the Fund.

The Trustees concluded that the Fund’s advisory fee was reasonable in light of the services provided by AFC, and concluded that the Fund’s overall expense ratio was reasonable.
