Performance data quoted represents past performance; past performance does not guarantee future results. The 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 of the Fund may be lower or higher than the performance quoted. Performance data current to the most recent month end may be obtained by calling 1-888-893-4491.
 
This chart illustrates the performance of a hypothetical $10,000 investment made in the Fund on February 1, 2010, the Fund’s inception date.  Returns reflect the reinvestment of income and capital gain distributions. The performance data shown reflects a voluntary waiver made by the Adviser.  In the absence of fee waivers, returns would be reduced. The performance data and graph do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder may pay on dividends, capital gain distributions, or redemption of Fund shares. This chart does not imply any future performance.
 
The Bloomberg Barclays 1-3 Year US Government/Credit Index is an unmanaged market index and should not be considered indicative of any Pemberwick investment.  One cannot invest directly in an index.

The Trust is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”), and was organized as a Delaware statutory trust on April 4, 2006. The Fund is an open-end investment management company and is a non-diversified series of the Trust. The Pemberwick Fund, a series of FundVantage Trust (the “Predecessor Fund”) was reorganized into a newly created series of the Trust (the “Reorganization”) pursuant to an Agreement and Plan of Reorganization dated November 1, 2016. The Reorganization was approved by the shareholders of the Predecessor Fund at a meeting held on November 17, 2016. The Predecessor Fund transferred all its assets to the Fund in exchange for shares of the Fund and the assumption by the Fund of all the known liabilities of the Predecessor Fund. The Predecessor Fund commenced operations on February 1, 2010. Pemberwick Investment Advisors LLC (“Pemberwick” or the “Advisor”) serves as the investment advisor to the Fund, and J.P. Morgan Investment Management Inc. (“J.P. Morgan” or the “Sub-Advisor”) serves as the sub-advisor to the Fund. Pemberwick and J.P. Morgan also served as the advisor and sub-advisor, respectively, to the Predecessor Fund. The Fund changed its fiscal year end from April 30 to March 31 in 2017. The investment objective of the Fund is to seek maximum current income that is consistent with liquidity and stability of principal.
 
NOTE 2 – SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
 
The following is a summary of significant accounting policies consistently followed by the Fund. These policies are in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”). The Fund is an investment company and accordingly follows the investment company accounting and reporting guidance of the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standard Codification Topic 946 Financial Services – Investment Companies.
 
 
A.
Security Valuation: All investments in securities are recorded at their estimated fair value, as described in Note 3.
     
 
B.
Federal Income Taxes: It is the Fund’s policy to comply with the requirements of Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code applicable to regulated investment companies and to distribute substantially all of its taxable income to its shareholders. Therefore, no federal income or excise tax provisions are required.
     
   
The Fund recognizes the tax benefits of uncertain tax positions only where the position is “more likely than not” to be sustained assuming examination by tax authorities. Management has analyzed the Fund’s tax positions, and has concluded that no liability for unrecognized tax benefits should be recorded related to uncertain tax positions taken or expected to be taken on a tax return. The tax returns for the Fund for the prior three fiscal years are open for examination. The Fund identifies its major tax jurisdictions as U.S. Federal and the state of Delaware.

C.
Securities Transactions, Income and Distributions: Securities transactions are accounted for on the trade date. Realized gains and losses on securities sold are determined on the basis of identified cost. Interest income is recorded on an accrual basis. Dividend income and distributions to shareholders are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Discounts and premiums on fixed income securities are amortized using the effective interest method.
     
   
The Fund distributes substantially all of its net investment income, if any, which is declared daily as a dividend and paid monthly. Any net capital gain realized by the Fund will be distributed annually. Distributions from net realized gains for book purposes may include short-term capital gains. All short-term capital gains are included in ordinary income for tax purposes. The amount of dividends and distributions to shareholders from net investment income and net realized capital gains is determined in accordance with federal income tax regulations, which differ from GAAP. To the extent these book/tax differences are permanent, such amounts are reclassified within the capital accounts based on their federal tax treatment.
     
   
The Fund is charged for those expenses that are directly attributable to it, such as investment advisory, custody and transfer agent fees. Expenses that are not attributable to a Fund are typically allocated among the funds in the Trust proportionately based on allocation methods approved by the Board of Trustees (the “Board”). Common expenses of the Trust are typically allocated among the funds in the Trust based on a fund’s respective net assets, or by other equitable means.
     
 
D.
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 at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of increases and decreases in net assets during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
     
 
E.
Redemption Fees: The Fund does not charge redemption fees to shareholders.
     
 
F.
Reclassification of Capital Accounts: GAAP requires that certain components of net assets relating to permanent differences be reclassified between financial and tax reporting. These reclassifications have no effect on net assets or net asset value per share.
     
 
G.
Events Subsequent to the Fiscal Year End: In preparing the financial statements as of September 30, 2023 and through the date the financial statements were available to be issued, management considered the impact of subsequent events for potential recognition or disclosure in the financial statements and concluded that no additional disclosures are necessary.
 
NOTE 3 – SECURITIES VALUATION
 
The Fund has adopted authoritative fair value accounting standards which establish an authoritative definition of fair value and set out a hierarchy for measuring fair value. These standards require additional disclosures about the various inputs and valuation

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)

techniques used to develop the measurements of fair value, a discussion of changes in valuation techniques and related inputs during the period, and expanded disclosure of valuation levels for major security types. These inputs are summarized in the three broad levels listed below:

 
Level 1 –
Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the Fund has the ability to access.
     
 
Level 2 –
Observable inputs other than quoted prices included in level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly. These inputs may include quoted prices for the identical instrument on an inactive market, prices for similar instruments, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, yield curves, default rates and similar data.
     
 
Level 3 –
Unobservable inputs for the asset or liability, to the extent relevant observable inputs are not available, representing the Fund’s own assumptions about the assumptions a market participant would use in valuing the asset or liability, and would be based on the best information available.

Following is a description of the valuation techniques applied to the Fund’s major categories of assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis.
 
Debt Securities: Debt securities, including corporate bonds, asset-backed securities, mortgage-backed securities, municipal bonds, U.S. Treasuries, and U.S. government agency issues, are generally valued at market on the basis of valuations furnished by an independent pricing service that utilizes both dealer-supplied valuations and formula-based techniques. The pricing service may consider recently executed transactions in securities of the issuer or comparable issuers, market price quotations (where observable), bond spreads, and fundamental data relating to the issuer. In addition, the model may incorporate market observable data, such as reported sales of similar securities, broker quotes, yields, bids, offers, and reference data. Certain securities are valued primarily using dealer quotations. To the extent these securities are actively traded and valuation adjustments are not applied, they are categorized in level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.
 
Registered Investment Companies: Investments in registered investment companies (e.g., mutual funds) are generally priced at the ending NAV provided by the applicable registered investment company’s service agent and will be classified in Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy.
 
Short-Term Debt Securities: Short-term debt instruments having a maturity of less than 60 days are valued at the evaluated mean price supplied by an approved pricing service. Pricing services may use various valuation methodologies including matrix pricing and other analytical pricing models as well as market transactions and dealer quotations. In the absence of prices from a pricing service, the securities will be priced in accordance with the procedures adopted by the Board. Short-term debt securities are generally classified in Level 1 or Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy depending on the inputs used and market activity levels for specific securities.

Pemberwick Fund

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)
September 30, 2023 (Unaudited)

In the absence of prices from a pricing service, or if market quotations are not readily available, fair value will be determined under the Fund’s valuation procedures adopted pursuant to Rule 2a-5.  Pursuant to those procedures, the Board has appointed the Advisor as the Fund’s valuation designee (the “Valuation Designee”) to perform all fair valuations of the Fund’s portfolio investments, subject to the Board’s oversight.  As the Valuation Designee, the Advisor has established procedures for its fair valuation of the Fund’s portfolio investments. These procedures address, among other things, determining when market quotations are not readily available or reliable and the methodologies to be used for determining the fair value of investments, as well as the use and oversight of third-party pricing services for fair valuation.
 
Depending on the relative significance of the valuation inputs, fair valued securities may be classified in either level 2 or level 3 of the fair value hierarchy.
 
The inputs or methodology used for valuing securities are not an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities. The following is a summary of the fair valuation hierarchy of the Fund’s securities as of September 30, 2023:

NOTE 4 – INVESTMENT ADVISORY FEE AND OTHER TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES
 
For the six months ended September 30, 2023, the Advisor provided the Fund with investment management services under an Investment Advisory Agreement. The Advisor furnishes all investment advice, office space, and facilities, and provides most of the personnel needed by the Fund. As compensation for its services, the Advisor is entitled to a monthly fee at an annual rate of 0.25% from the Fund based upon the average daily net assets of the Fund. For the six months ended September 30, 2023, the Fund incurred $319,788 in advisory fees. Advisory fees payable at September 30, 2023 for the Fund were $31,369. The Advisor has hired J.P. Morgan Investment Management Inc. as a sub-advisor to manage the U.S. Treasuries and agency debt portion of the Fund. The Advisor pays the Sub-Advisor fee for the Pemberwick Fund from its own assets and these fees are not an additional expense of the Fund.

NOTE 7 – PRINCIPAL RISKS
 
The following is a list of certain risks that may apply to your investment in the Fund. Further information about investment risks is available in the Fund’s Statement of Additional Information.
 
Credit Risk: Credit risk is the risk that an issuer will not make timely payments of principal and interest. A credit rating assigned to a particular debt security is essentially
 

 

 

 

 

 
26

 
Pemberwick Fund

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)
September 30, 2023 (Unaudited)

the opinion of a nationally recognized statistical rating organization (“NRSRO”) as to the credit quality of an issuer and may prove to be inaccurate. There is also the risk that a bond issuer may “call,” or repay, its high yielding bonds before their maturity dates.
 
Concentration Risk: By concentrating its assets in the banking industry, the Fund is subject to the risk that economic, business, political or other conditions that have a negative effect on the banking industry will negatively impact the Fund to a greater extent than if the Fund’s assets were diversified across different industries or sectors.
 
Deflation Risk: Deflation to the U.S. economy may cause principal to decline and inflation-linked securities could underperform securities whose interest payments are not adjusted for inflation or linked to a measure of inflation.
 
Fixed Income Market Risks: Fixed-income securities are or may be subject to interest rate, credit, liquidity, prepayment and extension risks. There is also the risk that an issuer may “call,” or repay, its high yielding bonds before their maturity dates. Fixed-income securities subject to prepayment can offer less potential for gains during a declining interest rate environment and similar or greater potential for loss in a rising interest rate environment. Limited trading opportunities for certain fixed-income securities may make it more difficult to sell or buy a security at a favorable price or time.
 
Interest Rate Risk: Interest rates may go up resulting in a decrease in the value of the securities held by the Fund. Interest rates have been historically low, so the Fund faces a heightened risk that interest rates may rise. Debt securities subject to prepayment can offer less potential for gains during a declining interest rate environment and similar or greater potential for loss in a rising interest rate environment.
 
Management Risk: The Advisor’s or Sub-Advisor’s judgments about the attractiveness, value and potential appreciation of the Fund’s investments may prove to be incorrect and the investment strategies employed by the Advisor and the Sub-Advisor in selecting investments for the Fund may not result in an increase in the value of your investment or in overall performance equal to other similar investment vehicles having similar investment strategies.
 
Market Risk: Certain investments selected for the Fund’s portfolio may be worth less than the price originally paid for them, or less than they were worth at an earlier time. The value of the Fund’s investments may go up or down, sometimes dramatically and unpredictably, based on current market conditions, such as real or perceived adverse political or economic conditions, inflation, changes in interest rates, lack of liquidity in the fixed income markets or adverse investor sentiment.
 
General Market Risk; Recent Market Events: The market value of a security may move up or down, sometimes rapidly and unpredictably. These fluctuations may cause a security to be worth less than the price originally paid for it, or less than it was worth at an earlier time. Market risk may affect a single issuer, industry, sector of the economy or the market as a whole. U.S. and international markets have experienced volatility in recent months and years due to a number of economic, political and global macro factors, including
 

 
 

 
27


Pemberwick Fund

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)
September 30, 2023 (Unaudited)

rising inflation, the war between Russia and Ukraine and the impact of the coronavirus (COVID-19) global pandemic. While U.S. and global economies are recovering from the effects of COVID-19, labor shortages and the inability to meet consumer demand have restricted growth. Uncertainties regarding the level of central banks’ interest rate increases, political events, the Russia-Ukraine conflict, trade tensions and the possibility of a national or global recession have also contributed to market volatility.
 
Global economies and financial markets are increasingly interconnected, which increases the possibility that conditions in one country or region might adversely impact issuers in a different country or region. Continuing market volatility as a result of recent market conditions or other events may have adverse effects on the Fund’s returns. The Adviser will monitor developments and seek to manage the Fund in a manner consistent with achieving the Fund’s investment objective, but there can be no assurance that they will be successful in doing so.
 
Non-Diversification Risk: Because the Fund is “non-diversified,” it may invest a greater percentage of its assets in the securities of a single issuer. As a result, a decline in the value of an investment in a single issuer could cause the Fund’s overall value to decline to a greater degree than if the Fund held a more diversified portfolio.
 
Prepayment Risk: In times of declining interest rates, some of the Fund’s higher yielding securities may be prepaid, and the Fund would have to replace them with securities having a lower yield.
 
U.S. Government Agencies and Instrumentalities Securities Risk: Securities issued by U.S. Government agencies and instrumentalities have different levels of U.S. Government credit support. Some are backed by the full faith and credit of the U.S. Government, while others are supported by only the discretionary authority of the U.S. Government or only by the credit of the agency or instrumentality. No assurance can be given that the U.S. Government will provide financial support to U.S. Government-sponsored instrumentalities because they are not obligated to do so by law. Guarantees of timely prepayment of principal and interest do not assure that the market prices and yields of the securities are guaranteed nor do they guarantee the net asset value or performance of the Fund, which will vary with changes in interest rates, the Advisor’s success and other market conditions.
 
NOTE 8 – GUARANTEES AND INDEMNIFICATION
 
In the normal course of business, the Fund may enter into contracts that contain a variety of representations and warranties and 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.

NOTE 9 – CONTROL OWNERSHIP
 
The beneficial ownership, either directly or indirectly of more than 25% of the voting securities of a Fund creates a presumption of control of the Fund, under Section 2(a)(9) of the Investment Company Act of 1940. While no individual shareholder has a position which exceeds 25% of the voting securities of the Fund, there are numerous shareholders who are affiliated with the Advisor. As of September 30, 2023, investors who are affiliated with the Advisor, when aggregated, owned 100% of the voting securities of the Fund.
 
NOTE 10 – TAILORED SHAREHOLDER REPORTS
 
In October 2022, the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) adopted a final rule relating to Tailored Shareholder Reports for Mutual Funds and Exchange-Traded Funds; Fee Information in Investment Company Advertisements. The rule and form amendments will, among other things, require the Fund to transmit concise and visually engaging shareholder reports that highlight key information. The amendments will require that funds tag information in a structured data format and that certain more in-depth information be made available online and available for delivery free of charge to investors on request. The amendments became effective January 24, 2023. There is an 18-month transition period after the effective date of the amendment.

EXPENSE EXAMPLE
September 30, 2023 (Unaudited)

As a shareholder of the Fund, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs including sales charges (loads) and redemption fees, if applicable; and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees; and other Fund expenses. 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 indicated and held for the entire period from April 1, 2023 to September 30, 2023.
 
Actual Expenses
 
The information in the table under the heading “Actual” provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in these columns 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 row entitled “Expenses Paid During Period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.  There are some account fees that are charged to certain types of accounts that would increase the amount of expenses paid on your account.  The example below does not include portfolio trading commissions and related expenses and other extraordinary expenses as determined under generally accepted accounting principles.
 
Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes
 
The information in the table under the heading “Hypothetical (5% return before expenses)” provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Fund’s actual expense ratio and 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.  As noted above, there are some account fees that are charged to certain types of accounts that would increase the amount of expense paid on your account.
 
Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transaction costs, such as sales charges (loads), redemption fees, or exchange fees. Therefore, the information under the heading “Hypothetical (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.
