1.  Organization
abrdn Funds (the "Trust") was organized as a statutory trust under the laws of the state of Delaware by a Certificate of Trust filed on September 27, 2007 and is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the "1940 Act"), as an open-end management investment company. As of April 30, 2025, the Trust had authorized an unlimited number of shares of beneficial interest ("shares") without par value. As of April 30, 2025, the Trust operated eighteen (18) separate series, each with its own investment objective(s) and strategies. This report contains the financial statements and financial highlights of the eleven (11) funds listed below (each, a "Fund"; collectively, the "Funds"):
abrdn China A Share Equity Fund ("China A Share Equity Fund")
abrdn Dynamic Dividend Fund (“Dynamic Dividend Fund”)
abrdn EM SMA Completion Fund* ("EM SMA Completion Fund")
abrdn Emerging Markets ex-China Fund (“Emerging Markets ex-China Fund”)
abrdn Emerging Markets Fund (“Emerging Markets Fund”)
abrdn Focused Emerging Markets ex-China Fund (formerly, abrdn Global Equity Impact Fund) (“Focused Emerging Markets ex-China Fund”)
abrdn Global Infrastructure Fund (“Global Infrastructure Fund”)
abrdn International Small Cap Fund (formerly, (“International Small Cap Fund”)
abrdn Real Estate Fund (formerly, abrdn Realty Income & Growth Fund) (“Real Estate Fund”)
abrdn U.S. Small Cap Equity Fund (“U.S. Small Cap Equity Fund”)
abrdn U.S. Sustainable Leaders Fund (“U.S. Sustainable Leaders Fund”)
*Not available to the General Public. Shares of the Fund may be purchased only by or on behalf of separately managed account clients where abrdn Inc. ("Aberdeen" or the "Adviser"), the Fund's Adviser or an affiliate of the Adviser has an agreement with the managed account program sponsor (the"Program Sponsor"), or directly with the client, to provide management or advisory services to the managed account or to the Program Sponsor for its use in managing such account. The Fund is a "completion fund," meaning that it is intended to be used as part of a broader investment program by certain separately managed account clients.
2.  Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
The Trust is an investment company and accordingly follows the investment company accounting and reporting guidance of the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") Accounting Standards Codification Topic 946 Financial Services-Investment Companies. The following is a summary of significant accounting policies followed by the Funds in the preparation of their financial statements. The policies conform to generally accepted accounting principles ("U.S. GAAP") in the United States of America. The preparation of financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of income and expenses for the period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. The accounting records of the Funds are maintained in U.S. Dollars.
a. 
Security Valuation:
  The Funds value their securities at fair value, consistent with regulatory requirements. "Fair value" is defined in the Funds' Valuation and Liquidity Procedures as the price that could be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between willing market participants without a compulsion to transact at the measurement date, also referred to as market value. Pursuant to Rule 2a-5 under the 1940 Act, the Board designated the Adviser as the valuation designee ("Valuation Designee") for the Funds to perform the fair value determinations relating to Fund investments for which market quotations are not readily available or deemed unreliable.
  Equity securities that are traded on an exchange are valued at the last quoted sale price or the official close price on the principal exchange on which the security is traded at the “Valuation Time” subject to application, when appropriate, of the valuation factors described in the paragraph below. Under normal circumstances, the Valuation Time is as of the close of regular trading on the New York Stock Exchange ("NYSE") (usually 4:00 p.m. Eastern Time). In the absence of a sale price, the security is valued at the mean of the bid/ask price quoted at the close on the principal exchange on which the security is traded. Securities traded on NASDAQ are valued at the NASDAQ official closing price.
  In accordance with the authoritative guidance on fair value measurements and disclosures under U.S. GAAP, the Funds disclose the fair value of their investments using a three-level hierarchy that classifies the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure the fair value. The hierarchy assigns Level 1, the highest level, measurements to valuations based upon unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets, Level 2 measurements to valuations based upon other significant observable inputs, including adjusted quoted prices in active markets for similar assets, and Level 3, the lowest level, measurements to valuations based upon unobservable inputs that are significant to the valuation. Inputs refer broadly to the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability, including assumptions about risk, for example, the risk inherent in a particular valuation technique used to measure fair value including a pricing model and/or the

  risk inherent in the inputs to the valuation technique. Inputs may be observable or unobservable. Observable inputs are inputs that reflect the assumptions market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability, which are based on market data obtained from sources independent of the reporting entity. Unobservable inputs are inputs that reflect the reporting entity’s own assumptions about the assumptions market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability developed based on the best information available in the circumstances. A financial instrument’s level within the fair value hierarchy is based upon the lowest level of any input that is significant to the fair value measurement.
  Open-end mutual funds are valued at the respective NAV as reported by such company. The prospectuses for the registered open-end management investment companies in which a Fund invests explain the circumstances under which those companies will use fair value pricing and the effects of using fair value pricing. Closed-end funds and exchange-traded funds ("ETFs") are valued at the market price of the security at the Valuation Time (defined above). A security using any of these pricing methodologies is generally determined to be a Level 1 investment.
  Foreign equity securities that are traded on foreign exchanges that close prior to the Valuation Time are valued by applying valuation factors to the last sale price or the mean price as noted above. Valuation factors are provided by an independent pricing service provider. These valuation factors are used when pricing a Fund's portfolio holdings to estimate market movements between the time foreign markets close and the time a Fund values such foreign securities. These valuation factors are based on inputs such as depositary receipts, indices, futures, sector indices/ETFs, exchange rates, and local exchange opening and closing prices of each security. When prices with the application of valuation factors are utilized, the value assigned to the foreign securities may not be the same as quoted or published prices of the securities on their primary markets. A security that applies a valuation factor is generally determined to be a Level 2 investment because the exchange-traded price has been adjusted. Valuation factors are not utilized if the independent pricing service provider is unable to provide a valuation factor or if the valuation factor falls below a predetermined threshold; in such case, the security is determined to be a Level 1 investment.
  Long-term debt and other fixed income securities are valued at the last quoted or evaluated bid price on the valuation date provided by an independent pricing service provider. If there are no current day bids, the security is valued at the previously applied bid. Pricing services generally price debt securities assuming orderly transactions of an institutional “round lot” size, and the strategies employed by the Adviser as Valuation Designee generally trade in round lot sizes. In certain circumstances, fixed income securities may be held or transactions may be conducted in smaller, “odd lot” sizes. Odd lots may trade at lower or occasionally higher prices than institutional round lot trades. Short-term debt securities (such as commercial paper and U.S. treasury bills) having a remaining maturity of 60 days or less are valued at the last quoted or evaluated bid price on the valuation date provided by an independent pricing service, or on the basis of amortized cost if it represents the best approximation for fair value. Debt and other fixed-income securities are generally determined to be Level 2 investments.
  Short-term investments are comprised of cash and cash equivalents invested in short-term investment funds which are redeemable daily. The Funds sweep available cash into the State Street Institutional U.S. Government Money Market Fund, which has elected to qualify as a “government money market fund” pursuant to Rule 2a-7 under the 1940 Act, and has an objective, which is not guaranteed, to maintain a $1.00 per share NAV. Generally, these investment types are categorized as Level 1 investments.
  Forward foreign currency contracts are generally valued based on the bid price of the forward rates and the current spot rate. Forward exchange rate quotations are available for scheduled settlement dates, such as 1-, 3-, 6-, 9- and 12-month periods. An interpolated valuation is derived based on the actual settlement dates of the forward contracts held. Futures contracts are valued at the settlement price or at the last bid price if no settlement price is available. Interest rate swaps agreements are generally valued by an approved pricing agent based on the terms of the swap agreement (including future cash flows).
  In the event that a security’s market quotations are not readily available or are deemed unreliable (for reasons other than because the foreign exchange on which it trades closes before the Valuation Time), the security is valued at fair value as determined by the Valuation Designee, taking into account the relevant factors and surrounding circumstances using valuation policies and procedures approved by the Board. Under normal circumstances the Valuation Time is as of the close of regular trading on the NYSE (usually 4:00 p.m. Eastern Time). A security that has been fair valued by the Adviser may be classified as Level 2 or Level 3 depending on the nature of the inputs.
  The three-level hierarchy of inputs is summarized below:
Level 1 - quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical investments;
Level 2 - other significant observable inputs (including valuation factors, quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, and credit risk, etc.); or
Level 3 - significant unobservable inputs (including a Fund’s own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments).

Level 3 investments held during and at the end of the six-month period ended April 30, 2025 in relation to net assets, of the China A Share Equity Fund and of the Emerging Markets Fund were not significant (0.0% of total net assets) and accordingly, a reconciliation of Level 3 assets for the six-month period ended April 30, 2025 is not presented. The valuation technique used at April 30, 2025 was fair valuation at zero pursuant to procedures approved by the Board.
b. 
Restricted Securities:
  Restricted securities are privately-placed securities whose resale is restricted under U.S. securities laws. The Funds may invest in restricted securities, including unregistered securities eligible for resale without registration pursuant to Rule 144A and privately-placed securities of U.S. and non-U.S. issuers offered outside the U.S. without registration pursuant to Regulation S under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "1933 Act"). Rule 144A securities may be freely traded among certain qualified institutional investors, such as the Funds, but resale of such securities in the U.S. is permitted only in limited circumstances.
c. 
Foreign Currency Translation:
  Foreign securities, currencies and other assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollars at the exchange rate of said currencies against the U.S. dollar, as of the Valuation Time, as provided by an independent pricing service. 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 Funds do 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 gain or loss from investments and foreign currencies within the Statements of Operations.

Rights Issues and Warrants:
  Rights issues give the right, normally to existing shareholders, to buy a proportional number of additional securities at a given price (generally at a discount) within a fixed period (generally a short-term period) and are offered at the company’s discretion. Warrants are securities that give the holder the right to buy common stock at a specified price for a specified period of time. Rights issues and warrants are speculative and have no value if they are not exercised before the expiration date. Rights issues and warrants are valued at the last sale price on the exchange on which they are traded.
e. 
Derivative Financial Instruments:
  Certain Funds are authorized to use derivatives to manage currency risk, credit risk, and interest rate risk and to replicate, or use as a substitute for, physical securities. Losses may arise due to changes in the value of the contract or if the counterparty does not perform under the contract. The use of derivative instruments involves, to varying degrees, elements of market risk in excess of the amount recognized in the Statements of Assets and Liabilities.
  Forward Foreign Currency Exchange Contracts:
  A forward foreign currency exchange contract ("forward contract") involves an obligation to purchase and sell a specific currency at a future date, which may be any fixed number of days from the date of the contract agreed upon by the parties, at a price set at the time of the contract. Forward contracts are used to manage a Fund's currency exposure in an efficient manner. They are used to sell unwanted currency exposure that comes with holding securities in a market, or to buy currency exposure where the exposure from holding securities is insufficient to give the desired currency exposure either in absolute terms or relative to a particular benchmark or index. The use of forward contracts allows for the separation of investment decision-making between foreign exchange holdings and their currencies.
  The forward contract is marked-to-market daily and the change in market value is recorded by a Fund as unrealized appreciation or depreciation. Forward contracts' prices are received daily from an independent pricing provider. When the forward contract is closed, a Fund records a realized gain or loss equal to the difference between the value at the time it was opened and the value at the time it was closed. These realized and unrealized gains and losses are reported on the Statement of Operations. A Fund could be exposed to risks if the counterparties to the contracts are unable to meet the terms of their contracts or from unanticipated movements in exchange rates.
  During the six-month period ended April 30, 2025, the Funds used forward contracts for the purposes of efficient portfolio management and managing active currency risk relative to the benchmark.
  While a Fund may enter into forward contracts to seek to reduce currency exchange rate risks, transactions in such contracts involve certain risks. A Fund could be exposed to risks if the counterparties to the contracts are unable to meet the terms of their contracts and from unanticipated movements in exchange rates. Thus, while a Fund may benefit from such transactions, unanticipated changes in currency prices may result in a poorer overall performance for a Fund than if it had not engaged in any such transactions. Moreover, there may be an imperfect correlation between a Fund’s portfolio holdings or securities quoted or denominated in a particular currency and forward contracts entered into by the Fund. Such imperfect correlation may prevent a Fund from achieving a complete hedge, which will expose the Fund to the risk of foreign exchange loss.
  Forward contracts are subject to the risk that the counterparties to such contracts may default on their obligations. Since a forward foreign currency exchange contract is not guaranteed by an exchange or clearing house, a default on the contract would deprive a Fund of unrealized profits, transaction costs or the benefits of a currency hedge or force a Fund to cover its purchase or sale commitments, if any, at the market price at the time of the default.
  Summary of Derivative Instruments
  Certain Funds may use derivatives for various purposes as noted above. The following is a summary of the fair value of derivative instruments, not accounted for as hedging instruments, as of April 30, 2025:

f. 
Security Transactions, Investment Income and Expenses:
  Security transactions are recorded on the trade date. Realized and unrealized gains/(losses) from security and currency transactions are calculated on the identified cost basis. Dividend income and corporate actions are recorded generally on the ex-date, except for certain dividends and corporate actions which may be recorded after the ex-date, as soon as a Fund acquires information regarding such dividends or corporate actions.
  Interest income and expenses are recorded on an accrual basis. The calendar year-end amounts of ordinary income, capital gains and return of capital included in distributions received from the Funds’ investments in real estate investment trusts (“REITs”) are reported to the Funds after the end of the fiscal year; accordingly, the Funds estimate these amounts for accounting purposes until the characterization of REIT distributions is reported to the Funds after the end of the fiscal year. Estimates are based on the most recent REIT distribution information available. Expenses directly attributable to a Fund are charged to that Fund. Expenses not directly attributable to a Fund are allocated proportionately among the relevant Funds based on net assets of each Fund as of month-end. For each of the Funds, the method for allocating income, fund level expenses, and realized and unrealized gains or losses to a class is based on the average net asset value of that class’ shares in proportion to the average net assets of the relevant Fund when incurred. Expenses specific to a class (such as Rule 12b-1 and administrative services fees) are charged to that class.
g. 
Distributions:
  Distributions from net investment income, if any, are declared and paid annually for all Funds except the Dynamic Dividend Fund, which declares and pays monthly, and the Global Infrastructure Fund and Real Estate Fund, which declare and pay quarterly. The Funds will also declare and pay distributions at least annually from net realized gains on investment transactions and net realized foreign exchange gains, if any. Dividends and distributions to shareholders are recorded on the ex-dividend date. The Funds will also declare and pay distributions at least annually from net realized gains on investment transactions and net realized foreign exchange gains, if any. Dividends and distributions to shareholders are determined in accordance with federal income tax regulations, which may differ from U.S. GAAP. These differences are primarily due to differing treatment for foreign currencies and loss deferrals.
h. 
Federal Income Taxes:
  Each Fund intends to continue to qualify as a “regulated investment company” by complying with the provisions available to certain investment companies, as defined in Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the"Code"), and to make distributions of net investment income and net realized capital gains sufficient to relieve the Funds from all federal income taxes. Therefore, no federal income tax provision is required. Management of the Funds has concluded that there are no significant uncertain tax positions that would

  require recognition in the financial statements. Since tax authorities can examine previously filed tax returns, the Funds' U.S. federal and state tax returns for each of the most recent four fiscal years up to the most recent fiscal year ended October 31, 2024 are subject to such review.
  Each Fund recognizes interest and penalties related to tax items, including uncertain tax positions, within interest expense and other expenses respectively. No interest expense or penalties related to taxation have been recognized as of and for the six-month period ended April 30, 2025.
i. 
Foreign Withholding Tax:
  Dividend and interest income from non-U.S. sources received by the Fund are generally subject to non-U.S. withholding taxes and are recorded on the Statement of Operations. The Funds file for tax reclaims for the refund of such withholdings taxes according to tax treaties. Tax reclaims that are deemed collectible are booked as tax reclaim receivable on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Foreign tax authorities can examine previously filed withholding tax reclaims for various periods of time, depending on the statute of limitations in each foreign jurisdiction. In some cases, amounts that have been refunded by foreign tax authorities and received by the Funds are still subject to such review.
  In addition, when the Funds sell securities within certain countries in which they invest, the capital gains realized may be subject to tax. Based on these market requirements and as required under U.S. GAAP, the Funds accrue deferred capital gains tax on securities currently held that have unrealized appreciation within these countries. The amount of deferred capital gains tax accrued is reported on the Statement of Operations as part of the Net Change in Unrealized Appreciation/Depreciation on Investments.
  abrdn Focused Emerging Markets ex-China Fund
  Consistent with U.S. GAAP accrual requirements, for uncertain tax positions, the Fund recognizes Article 63 EU Tax Reclaims when it is more likely than not that the Fund will sustain its position that it is due.
  As of April 30, 2025, the Fund has remaining Article 63 EU Tax Reclaims, primarily related to Germany and Spain. Certain of the outstanding Article 63 EU Tax Reclaims related to Germany and Spain are not deemed to meet the recognition criteria under U.S. GAAP as of April 30, 2025, and have not been recorded in the Fund’s respective net asset value. As of April 30, 2025, the total amount of outstanding reclaims (before the impact of interest, tax or additional costs incurred in the pursuit of such reclaims) filed with Germany and Spain represent approximately $1,751,631. The amount net of estimated taxes represent $1,007,188. Recognition by the Fund of these amounts would have a positive impact on the Fund's performance.
  The receipt of Article 63 EU reclaims from these jurisdictions also results in a tax liability to the shareholders to offset the tax benefits that shareholders received in the past. Such amounts are estimated based on a closing agreement template created by the IRS, which is applicable to all industry participants, in relation to the remittance by a fund of taxes due by its shareholders and paid on their behalf by the fund. The Fund accrues this tax liability which the Fund intends to settle on behalf of its shareholders in accordance with U.S. GAAP.
  As of April 30, 2025, an estimated tax amount has been accrued of $282,539 related to the reclaims received during the period from France. This amount is reflected as Payable to IRS on behalf of shareholders related to Article 63 EU Tax reclaims on the accompanying Statements of Assets and Liabilities.
  abrdn Emerging Markets ex-China Fund
  abrdn Emerging Markets ex-China Fund (inherited claims filed by the abrdn Emerging Markets Sustainable Leaders Fund) filed for Article 63 EU Tax Reclaims in France and Germany. During the period, the Emerging Markets ex-China Fund received a French EU reclaim payment for $192,570 related to claim years 2010-2011. The Fund accrued a net IRS tax liability of $9,827 at the time of recognition.
  As of April 30, 2025, the abrdn Emerging Markets ex-China Fund has remaining Article 63 EU Tax Reclaims, primarily related to Germany and France. Certain of the outstanding Article 63 EU Tax Reclaims related to Germany and France are not deemed to meet the recognition criteria under U.S. GAAP as of April 30, 2025, and have not been recorded in the Fund’s net asset value. Recognition by the abrdn Emerging Markets ex-China Fund of these amounts would have a positive impact on the Fund's performance.
j. 
Securities Lending:
  Through an agreement with Securities Finance Trust Company as the Lending Agent and State Street Bank and Trust Company (the Funds’ custodian) ("State Street"), the Funds may lend their portfolio securities to brokers, dealers and other financial institutions that pay a negotiated fee in order to generate additional income. The Funds receive non-cash collateral in the form of U.S. Government Securities, with respect to each loan of U.S. securities, typically equal to at least 102% of the value of the portfolio securities loaned, and, with respect to each loan of non-U.S. securities, typically equal to at least 105% of the value of the portfolio securities loaned, and at all times thereafter require

  the borrower to mark to market such collateral on a daily basis so that the fair value of such collateral does not fall below 100% of the fair value of the portfolio securities so loaned.
  Income generated from securities lending includes the difference between (i) the sum of income received from the investment of collateral received from the borrowers that are counterparties to loans, loan fees received from loans, and fees paid by borrower on loans collateralized with collateral other than cash collateral; and ii) any rebate paid to a borrower, and any other allocable fees and expenses in connection with loans of securities. All income is accrued daily and is apportioned 90% to the Funds and 10% to the Lending Agent.
  The Funds continue to own the loaned securities and continue to recognize unrealized gains and losses on the securities on loan. However, securities lending involves certain risks including the event of default or insolvency of the borrower and possible delays or restrictions upon a Fund’s ability to recover the loaned securities or dispose of the collateral for the loan. Securities on loan are noted within the Statement of Investments. Non-cash securities lending collateral held by the Lending Agent on behalf of the Funds cannot be sold or repledged by the Funds and, therefore, this amount is not presented on the Funds’ Statements of Investments.
  For the six-month period ended April 30, 2025, no lending activity took place.

Fund Administration:
  Under the terms of the Fund Administration Agreement, Aberdeen provides various administrative and accounting services, including daily valuation of the Funds' shares, preparation of financial statements, tax returns, regulatory reports, and presentation of quarterly reports to the Board. For services provided pursuant to the Fund Administration Agreement, the Trust pays Aberdeen an annual fee of 0.08% based on the Trust’s average daily net assets. The fee is then allocated proportionately among all funds within the Trust (including the Funds) in relation to the average daily net assets of each fund. This asset-based fee is subject to an annual minimum fee based on the number of funds served. Pursuant to a sub-administration agreement with Aberdeen, State Street provides sub-administration services with respect to the Funds. Aberdeen pays State Street for providing such services.
c. 
Distributor and Shareholder Servicing:
  The Trust and Aberdeen Fund Distributors, LLC (the “Distributor”) are parties to the current Underwriting Agreement (the “Underwriting Agreement”) whereby the Distributor acts as principal underwriter for the Trust’s shares.
  The Trust has adopted a Distribution Plan (the “Plan”) pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act with respect to certain classes of shares. The Plan permits the Funds to compensate the Distributor, for expenses associated with the distribution-related and/or shareholder services provided by such entities. These fees are paid to the Distributor and are either kept or paid to shareholders’ financial advisors or other intermediaries for distribution and shareholder services. Although actual distribution expenses may be more or less, under the Plan, the Funds pay the Distributor an annual fee of the following amounts, based on the total net assets of each, respective class:

Administrative Services Fees/Transfer Agent Out-of-Pocket Expenses:
  The Funds may pay and/or reimburse administrative services fees/sub-transfer agent expenses to certain broker-dealers and financial intermediaries who provide administrative support services to  beneficial shareholders on behalf of the Funds (sometimes referred to as “sub-transfer agency fees”), subject to certain limitations approved by the Board. These fees may be in addition to Rule 12b-1 fees. Sub-transfer agency fees generally include, but are not limited to, costs associated with recordkeeping, networking, sub-transfer agency or other administrative or shareholder services.
  Class A, Class R and Institutional Service Class shares of the Funds pay for such services pursuant to an Administrative Services Plan adopted by the Board. Under the Administrative Services Plan, a Fund may pay a broker-dealer or other intermediary a maximum annual administrative services fee of 0.25% for Class A, Class R and Institutional Service Class shares. Under an amendment to the Administrative Services Plan that is in effect until at least February 28, 2026, the administrative service fee for a Fund is limited to a maximum of 0.15% for contracts with fees that are calculated as a percentage of Fund assets and a maximum of $16 per account for contracts with fees that are calculated on a dollar per account basis; however, many intermediaries do not charge the maximum permitted fee or even a portion thereof. Class C and Institutional Class shares may also pay for the services described above directly, as these classes are not subject to an Administrative Services Plan. 
  The aggregate amount of sub-transfer agent and administrative service fees paid during the six-month period ended April 30, 2025 was as follows:

Purchase/Sale Transactions Between Affiliates
  The Funds are permitted to buy or sell securities with funds that have a common investment adviser (or investment advisers which are affiliates) under specific procedures which have been approved by the Board. The procedures are designed to satisfy the requirements of Rule 17a-7 of the Investment Company Act of 1940 (“Rule 17a-7”). During the six-month period ended April 30, 2025, the Funds did not engage in any of these trades.

5.  Portfolio Investment Risks
a. 
Active Management Risk
  Each Fund is subject to the risk that the Adviser or Subadviser (as applicable) may make poor security selections. The Adviser, Subadviser and their portfolio managers apply their own investment techniques and risk analyses in making investment decisions for a Fund and there can be no guarantee that these decisions will achieve the desired results for a Fund. In addition, the Adviser or Subadviser may select securities that underperform the relevant market or other funds with similar investment objectives and strategies.
b. 
Concentration Risk
  The Global Infrastructure Fund and Real Estate Fund are subject to concentration risk. Each Fund's strategy of concentrating in companies in a specific industry means that its performance will be closely tied to the performance of a particular market segment. Each Fund’s
2025 Semi-Annual Report 77

 

Table of Contents
Notes to  Financial Statements (unaudited)  (continued)
April 30, 2025

  concentration in these companies may present more risks than if it were broadly diversified over numerous industries and sectors of the economy. A downturn in these companies would have a larger impact on each Fund than on a mutual fund that does not concentrate in such companies. At times, the performance of these companies will lag the performance of other industries or the broader market as a whole.
c. 
Cybersecurity Risk
  Cybersecurity incidents may allow an unauthorized party to gain access to Fund assets, customer data (including private shareholder information), or proprietary information, or cause each Fund, the Adviser and/or their service providers (including, but not limited to, Fund accountants, custodians, sub-custodians, transfer agents and financial intermediaries) to suffer data breaches, data corruption or lose operational functionality.
d. 
Dividend Strategy Risk
  The Dynamic Dividend Fund and Real Estate Fund are subject to dividend strategy risk. There is no guarantee that the issuers of the stocks held by the Fund will declare dividends in the future or that, if dividends are declared, they will remain at their current levels or increase over time. The Fund’s emphasis on dividend paying stocks could cause the Fund to underperform similar funds that invest without consideration of a company’s track record of paying dividends or ability to pay dividends in the future. Dividend-paying stocks may not participate in a broad market advance to the same degree as other stocks, and a sharp rise in interest rates or economic downturn could cause a company to unexpectedly reduce or eliminate its dividend.
e. 
Emerging Markets Risk
  Emerging markets are countries generally considered to be relatively less developed or industrialized, and investments in emerging markets countries are subject to a magnification of the risks that apply to foreign investments. These risks are greater for securities of companies in emerging markets countries because of illiquidity, increased price volatility, smaller market capitalizations, less government regulation, less extensive and less frequent accounting, financial and other reporting requirements, loss resulting from problems in share registration and custody, substantial economic and political disruptions and the nationalization of foreign deposits or assets (see “Foreign Securities Risk” below).
  China Risk. Exposure to China and Hong Kong securities subjects the China A Shares Equity Fund to additional risks, and may make it significantly more volatile than more geographically diverse mutual funds. Additional risks associated with investments in China and Hong Kong include exposure to currency fluctuations, less liquidity, expropriation, confiscatory taxation, nationalization, exchange control regulations (including currency blockage), trading halts, imposition of tariffs, limitations on repatriation and differing legal standards. Any spread of an infectious illness, public health threat or similar issue could reduce consumer demand or economic output, result in market closures, travel restrictions or quarantines, and generally have a significant impact on the Chinese economy, which in turn could adversely affect the Fund’s investments.
  China A Shares Risk. Trading in China A Shares through Stock Connect and the QFII Programs involves additional risks. Stock Connect is subject to a daily quota (the “Daily Quota”), which limits the maximum net purchases under Stock Connect each day and, as such, buy orders for China A Shares would be rejected once the Daily Quota is exceeded (although the Fund will be permitted to sell China A Shares regardless of the Daily Quota balance). Further, Stock Connect, which relies on the connectivity of the Shanghai or Shenzhen markets with Hong Kong, is subject to operational risk, regulations that are relatively untested and are subject to change, and extended market closures for holidays or otherwise. During an extended market closure, the Fund’s ability to trade in China A Shares will be impacted which may affect the Fund’s performance. The QFII Programs are subject to the risk that the Adviser may have its QFII Programs license revoked or restricted with respect to the Fund or the Fund may be impacted by the rules, restrictions and quota limitations connected to reliance on a QFII Programs license.
  India Risk. The value of a Fund’s assets may be adversely affected by political, economic, social and religious factors, changes in Indian law or regulations and the status of India’s relations with other countries. In addition, the economy of India may differ favorably or unfavorably from the U.S. economy in such respects as the rate of growth of gross domestic product, the rate of inflation, capital reinvestment, resource self-sufficiency and balance of payments position. The Indian government has exercised and continues to exercise significant influence over many aspects of the economy, and the number of public sector enterprises in India is substantial. Accordingly, Indian government actions in the future could have a significant effect on the Indian economy, which could affect private sector companies and a Fund, market conditions, and prices and yields of securities in a Fund’s portfolio. Economic growth in India is constrained by inadequate infrastructure, a cumbersome bureaucracy, corruption, labor market rigidities, regulatory and foreign investment controls, the “reservation” of key products for small-scale industries and high fiscal deficits. Changes in economic policies, or lack of movement toward economic liberalization, could negatively affect the general business and economic conditions in India, which could in turn affect a Fund’s investments. The securities market in India is substantially smaller, less liquid and significantly more volatile than the securities market in the United States. The relatively small market
78 2025 Semi-Annual Report

 

Table of Contents
Notes to  Financial Statements (unaudited)  (continued)
April 30, 2025

  capitalizations of, and trading values on, Indian stock exchanges may cause a Fund’s investments in securities listed on these exchanges to be comparatively less liquid and subject to greater price volatility than comparable U.S. investments.
  Shanghai-Hong Kong and Shenzhen-Hong Kong Stock Connect Risk. Investing in China A shares through Stock Connect involves various considerations and risks, including, but not limited to, illiquidity risk; currency risk; greater price volatility; legal and regulatory uncertainty risk; execution risk; operational risk; tax risk; credit risk; and economic, social and political instability of the stock market in the People’s Republic of China.
  Taiwan Risk. Including risks associated with investing in emerging markets, a Fund’s investment in or exposure to Taiwan is also subject to risks associated with, among other things, currency fluctuations, commodity shortages, less liquidity, expropriation, confiscatory taxation, nationalization and exchange control regulations (including currency blockage). Inflation and rapid fluctuations in inflation and interest rates have had, and may continue to have, negative effects on the economy and securities markets of Taiwan. In addition, investments in Taiwan could be adversely affected by political and economic relationship with China.
f. 
Equity Linked Notes
  The China A Share Equity Fund may invest in equity-linked notes, which are generally subject to the same risks as the foreign equity securities or the basket of foreign securities they are linked to. If the linked security(ies) declines in value, the note may return a lower amount at maturity. The trading price of an equity-linked note also depends on the value of the linked security(ies).
g. 
ESG Integration Risk
  To the extent ESG (Environmental, Social and Governance) factors are used to evaluate investments, the consideration of such factors may adversely affect a Fund’s performance. Not every ESG factor may be identified or evaluated for every investment. ESG characteristics are not the only factors considered and, as a result, the issuers in which a Fund invests may not be issuers with favorable ESG characteristics or high ESG ratings. The application of ESG factors may result in a Fund performing differently than its benchmark index and other funds in its peer group that do not consider ESG factors or consider different ESG factors.
h. 
Equity Securities Risk
  The stock or other security of a company may not perform as well as expected, and may decrease in value, because of factors related to the company (such as poorer than expected earnings or certain management decisions), to the industry in which the company is engaged (such as a reduction in the demand for products or services in a particular industry), or to the market as a whole (such as periods of market volatility or instability, or general and prolonged periods of economic decline).
i. 
Exchange-Traded Fund Risk
  To the extent that each of the China A Share Equity Fund and Focused Emerging Markets ex-China Fund invests in ETFs, each Fund may be subject to, among other risks, tracking error risk and passive and, in some cases, active management investment risk. An active secondary market in ETF shares may not develop or be maintained and may be halted or interrupted due to actions by its listing exchange, unusual market conditions or other reasons. There can be no assurance that an ETF’s shares will continue to be listed on an active exchange. In addition, Fund shareholders bear both their proportionate share of the Fund’s expenses and similar expenses incurred through the Fund’s ownership of the ETF.
j. 
Focus Risk
  Funds that invest a greater proportion of their assets in the securities of a smaller number of issuers will be subject to greater volatility with respect to their investments than funds that invest in a larger number of securities.
k. 
Foreign Currency Exposure Risk
  The value of foreign currencies relative to the U.S. Dollar fluctuates in response to market, economic, political, regulatory, geopolitical or other conditions. A decline in the value of a foreign currency versus the U.S. Dollar reduces the value in U.S. Dollars of investments denominated in that foreign currency. This risk may impact a Fund more greatly to the extent the Fund does not hedge its currency risk, or hedging techniques used by the Adviser are unsuccessful.
2025 Semi-Annual Report 79

Notes to  Financial Statements (unaudited)  (continued)
April 30, 2025

l. 
Foreign Securities Risk
  Foreign countries in which a Fund may invest may have markets that are less liquid, less regulated and more volatile than U.S. markets. The value of a Fund’s investments may decline because of factors such as unfavorable or unsuccessful government actions, reduction of government or central bank support and political or financial instability. To the extent the Fund focuses its investments in a single country or only a few countries in a particular geographic region, economic, political, regulatory or other conditions affecting such country or region may have a greater impact on Fund performance relative to a more geographically diversified fund.
  Japan Risk. The Japanese economy is heavily dependent upon international trade and may be subject to considerable degrees of economic, political and social instability, which could negatively affect the International Small Cap Fund. The Japanese yen has fluctuated widely during recent periods and may be affected by currency volatility elsewhere in Asia, especially Southeast Asia. In addition, the yen has had a history of unpredictable and volatile movements against the U.S. dollar. The performance of the global economy could have a major impact upon equity returns in Japan. Since the mid-2000s, Japan's economic growth has remained relatively low. Any economic recession may be likely compounded by an unstable financial sector, low domestic consumption, and certain corporate structural weaknesses, which remain some of the major issues facing the Japanese economy. Japan has also experienced natural disasters, such as earthquakes and tidal waves, of varying degrees of severity, which could negatively affect the International Small Cap Fund.
  United Kingdom Risk. The United Kingdom (the “U.K.”) economy is heavily dependent on the services industries. Activity in the services industry is relatively stable, but decreases in new work available and inflation impact the services industry and economy as a whole. This is accompanied by difficulties in the European financial markets, governments, and central banks that may negatively impact the U.K. economy. Additionally, the U.K. economy may still be impacted by a process referred to as “Brexit,” which describes when the U.K. left the EU on January 31, 2020. On December 24, 2020, negotiators representing the U.K. and the EU came to a preliminary trade agreement, the EU-UK Trade and Cooperating Agreement (“TCA”), which is an agreement on the terms governing certain aspects of the EU’s and U.K,’s relationship. Despite the existence of the TCA, Certain aspects of the relationship between the U.K. and EU remain unresolved and subject to further negotiation and agreement. As such, there remains uncertainty as to the scope, nature and terms of the relationship between the U.K. and the EU and the long-term effect and implications of Brexit.
m. 
Illiquid Securities Risk
  Illiquid securities are assets that a Fund reasonably expects cannot be sold or disposed of in current market conditions in seven calendar days or less without the sale or disposition significantly changing the fair value of the asset. An inability to sell a portfolio position can adversely affect a Fund’s value or prevent the Fund from being able to take advantage of other investment opportunities. Illiquid securities and relatively less liquid securities may also be difficult to value.
  The Adviser employs procedures and tests using third-party and internal data inputs that seek to assess and manage the liquidity of a Fund’s portfolio holdings. These procedures and tests take into account a Fund’s investment strategy and liquidity of portfolio investments during both normal and foreseeable stressed conditions, cash-flow projections during both normal and reasonably foreseeable stressed conditions, relevant market, trading and other factors, and monitor whether liquidity should be adjusted based on changed market conditions. These procedures and tests are designed to assist a Fund in determining its ability to meet redemption requests in various market conditions. In light of the dynamic nature of markets, there can be no assurance that these procedures and tests will enable a Fund to ensure that it has sufficient liquidity to meet redemption requests.
n. 
Impact of Large Redemptions and Purchases of Fund Shares
  Occasionally, shareholders may make large redemptions or purchases of Fund shares, which may cause a Fund to have to sell securities or invest additional cash. These transactions may adversely affect the Fund’s performance and increase transaction costs. In addition, large redemption requests may exceed the cash balance of a Fund and result in credit line borrowing fees and/or overdraft charges to a Fund until the sales of portfolio securities necessary to cover the redemption request settle.
o. 
Infrastructure-Related Investment Risk
  Because the Global Infrastructure Fund concentrates its investments in infrastructure-related entities, the Fund has greater exposure to the potential adverse economic, regulatory, political and other changes affecting such entities. Infrastructure related entities are subject to a variety of factors that may adversely affect their business or operations, including high interest costs in connection with capital construction programs, costs associated with environmental and other regulations, the effects of economic slowdown and surplus capacity, increased competition from other providers of services, uncertainties concerning the availability of fuel at reasonable prices, the effects of energy conservation policies and other factors. Additionally, infrastructure-related entities may be subject to regulation by various governmental

April 30, 2025

  authorities and may also be affected by governmental regulation of rates charged to customers, service interruption due to environmental, operational or other mishaps and the imposition of special tariffs and changes in tax laws, regulatory policies and accounting standards.
p. 
Issuer Risk
  The value of a security may decline for reasons directly related to the issuer, such as management performance, financial leverage and reduced demand for the issuer's goods or services.
q. 
Market Risk
  Deteriorating market conditions might cause a general weakness in the market that reduces the prices, or yield, of securities in that market. Developments in a particular class of bonds or the stock market could also adversely affect a Fund by reducing the relative attractiveness of bonds or stocks as an investment. Also, to the extent that a Fund emphasizes bonds or stocks from any given industry, it could be hurt if that industry does not do well. Additionally, a Fund could lose value if the individual stocks in which it maintains long positions and/or the overall stock markets on which the stocks trade decline in price. In addition, a Fund that engages in short sales could lose value if the individual stocks which they sell short increase in price. Stocks and stock markets may experience short-term volatility (price fluctuation) as well as extended periods of price decline or increase. Individual stocks are affected by many factors, including:
corporate earnings;
production;
management;
sales; and
market trends, including investor demand for a particular type of stock, such as growth or value stocks, small or large stocks, or stocks within a particular industry.
Stock markets are affected by numerous factors, including interest rates, the outlook for corporate profits, the health of the national and world economies, the fluctuation of other stock markets around the world, and financial, economic and other global market developments and disruptions, such as those arising from war, terrorism, market manipulation, government interventions, defaults and shutdowns, political changes or diplomatic developments, public health emergencies and natural/environmental disasters. In addition, any spread of an infectious illness, public health threat or similar issue could reduce consumer demand or economic output, result in market closures, travel restrictions or quarantines, and generally have a significant impact on the world economy, which in turn could adversely affect the Fund’s investments.
Policy and legislative changes in the United States and in other countries are affecting many aspects of financial regulation, and governmental and quasi-governmental authorities and regulators throughout the world have responded to serious economic disruptions with a variety of significant fiscal and monetary policy changes, including but not limited to, direct capital infusions into companies, new monetary programs and interest rate hikes or reductions. The impact of these policies and legislative changes on the markets, and the practical implications for market participants, may not be fully known for some time. A reversal of these policies, or the ineffectiveness of these policies, could increase volatility in securities markets, which could adversely impact a Fund’s investments. The current market environment could make identifying investment risks and opportunities especially difficult for the Adviser.
Economies and financial markets throughout the world are becoming increasingly interconnected. As a result, whether or not a Fund invests in securities of issuers located in or with significant exposure to countries experiencing economic and financial difficulties, the value and liquidity of the Fund’s investments may be negatively affected by such events.
r. 
Mid-Cap Securities Risk
  Securities of medium-sized companies tend to be more volatile and less liquid than securities of larger companies.
s. 
Non-Diversified Fund Risk
  The EM SMA Completion Fund and the Real Estate Fund's performance may be more volatile than a diversified fund because these Funds may invest a greater percentage of their total assets in the securities of a single issuer.
t. 
Non-U.S. Taxation Risk
  Income, proceeds and gains received by a Fund from sources within foreign countries may be subject to withholding and other taxes imposed by such countries, which will reduce the return on those investments. Tax treaties between certain countries and the United States may reduce or eliminate such taxes.
2025 Semi-Annual Report 81

April 30, 2025

  If, at the close of its taxable year, more than 50% of the value of a Fund’s total assets consists of securities of foreign corporations, including for this purpose foreign governments, the Fund will be permitted to make an election under the Code that will allow shareholders a deduction or credit for foreign taxes paid by the Fund. In such a case, shareholders will include in gross income from foreign sources their pro rata shares of such taxes. A shareholder’s ability to claim an offsetting foreign tax credit or deduction in respect of such foreign taxes is subject to certain limitations imposed by the Code, which may result in the shareholder’s not receiving a full credit or deduction (if any) for the amount of such taxes. Shareholders who do not itemize on their U.S. federal income tax returns may claim a credit (but not a deduction) for such foreign taxes. If a Fund does not qualify for or chooses not to make such an election, shareholders will not be entitled separately to claim a credit or deduction for U.S. federal income tax purposes with respect to foreign taxes paid by the Fund; in that case the foreign tax will nonetheless reduce the Fund’s taxable income. Even if a Fund elects to pass through to its shareholders foreign tax credits or deductions, tax-exempt shareholders and those who invest in the Fund through tax-advantaged accounts such as IRAs will not benefit from any such tax credit or deduction.
u. 
Portfolio Turnover Risk
  The Dynamic Dividend Fund may engage in active and frequent trading of portfolio securities to achieve its investment objective. High portfolio turnover may result in greater transaction costs which may reduce Fund performance. The sale of Fund portfolio securities may also result in greater realization and/or distribution to shareholders of gains or losses as compared to a Fund with less active trading, which may include short-term gains taxable at ordinary income tax rates.
v. 
Qualified Dividend Income Tax Risk
  With respect to the Dynamic Dividend Fund, no assurance can be given as to what percentage of the distributions paid on shares, if any, will consist of tax-advantaged qualified dividend income or long-term capital gains or what the tax rates on various types of income will be in future years. The favorable U.S. federal tax treatment may be adversely affected, changed or repealed by future changes in tax laws at any time. In addition, it may be difficult to obtain information regarding whether distributions by non-U.S. entities in which a Fund invests should be regarded as qualified dividend income. Furthermore, to receive qualified dividend income treatment, a Fund must meet holding period and other requirements with respect to the dividend paying securities in its portfolio, and the shareholder must meet holding period and other requirements with respect to the common shares of a Fund.
w. 
REIT and Real Estate Risk
  Investment in real estate investment trusts ("REITs") and real estate involves the risks that are associated with direct ownership of real estate and with the real estate industry in general. These risks include: declines in the value of real estate; risks related to local economic conditions, overbuilding and increased competition; increases in property taxes and operating expenses; changes in zoning laws; casualty or condemnation losses; variations in rental income, neighborhood values or the appeal of properties to tenants; changes in interest rates and changes in general economic and market conditions. REITs’ share prices may decline because of adverse developments affecting the real estate industry including changes in interest rates. The returns from REITs may trail returns from the overall market. Additionally, there is always a risk that a given REIT will fail to qualify for favorable tax treatment. REITs may be leveraged, which increases risk. Certain REITs charge management fees, which may result in layering the management fee paid by the Fund.
x. 
Sector Risk
  To the extent that a Fund has a significant portion of its assets invested in securities of companies conducting business in a broadly related group of industries within an economic sector, the Fund may be more vulnerable to unfavorable developments in that economic sector than funds that invest more broadly.
  Financials Sector Risk. To the extent that the financials sector represents a significant portion of a Fund, the Fund will be sensitive to changes in, and its performance may depend to a greater extent on, factors impacting this sector. Performance of companies in the financials sector may be adversely impacted by many factors, including, among others, government regulations, economic conditions, credit rating downgrades, changes in interest rates, decreased liquidity in credit markets as well as cyber-attacks.
  Healthcare Sector Risk. To the extent that the healthcare sector represents a significant portion of a Fund, the Fund will be sensitive to changes in, and its performance may depend to a greater extent on, factors impacting this sector. Healthcare-related companies may be smaller and less seasoned than companies in other sectors, and performance of companies in the healthcare sector may be adversely impacted by many factors, including, among others, government regulation. restrictions on government reimbursement for medical expenses, changes to the costs of medical products and services, pricing pressure, increased emphasis on outpatient services, a limited number of
82 2025 Semi-Annual Report

  products, industry innovation, changes in technologies, and other market developments. Many healthcare-related companies are dependent on patent protection, and, therefore, the expiration of patents may adversely affect the profitability of healthcare-related companies.
  Industrials Sector Risk. To the extent that the industrial sector represents a significant portion of a Fund’s holdings, the Fund will be sensitive to changes in, and its performance may be adversely impacted by issues impacting this sector. The value of securities issued by companies in the industrials sector may be adversely affected by supply and demand related to their specific products or services and industrials sector products in general. The products of manufacturing companies may face obsolescence due to rapid technological developments and frequent new product introduction. Government regulations, world events, economic conditions and exchange rates may adversely affect the performance of companies in the industrials sector. Companies in the industrials sector may be adversely affected by liability for environmental damage and product liability claims. The industrials sector may also be adversely affected by changes or trends in commodity prices, which may be influenced by unpredictable factors. Companies in the industrials sector, particularly aerospace and defense companies, may also be adversely affected by government spending policies because companies involved in this sector rely to a significant extent on government demand for their products and services.
  Information Technology Sector Risk. To the extent that the information technology sector represents a significant portion of a Fund, the Fund will be sensitive to changes in, and its performance may depend to a greater extent on, factors impacting this sector. Information technology companies face intense competition, both domestically and internationally, which may have an adverse effect on their profit margins. Like other technology companies, information technology companies may have limited product lines, markets, financial resources or personnel. The products of information technology companies may face obsolescence due to rapid technological developments, frequent new product introduction, unpredictable changes in growth rates and competition for the services of qualified personnel. Companies in the information technology sector are heavily dependent on patent and intellectual property rights. The loss or impairment of these rights may adversely affect the profitability of these companies.
  Utilities Sector Risk. To the extent that the utilities sector represents a significant portion of the Fund’s portfolio, the Fund will be sensitive to changes in, and its performance may depend to a greater extent on, factors impacting this sector. Performance of companies in the utilities sector may be adversely impacted by many factors, including, among others, general economic conditions, supply and demand, financing and operating costs, rate caps, interest rates, liabilities arising from governmental or civil actions, consumer confidence and spending, competition, resource conservation and depletion, man-made or natural disasters, geopolitical events, and environmental, and other government regulations.
y. 
Small-Cap Securities Risk
  Securities of smaller companies are usually less stable in price and less liquid than those of larger, more established companies. Therefore, they generally involve greater risk.
z. 
Sustainable Investing Risk
  In implementing the U.S. Sustainable Leaders Fund's "Sustainable Leaders" investment strategy, the Adviser may select or exclude securities of issuers in certain industries, sectors, regions or countries for reasons other than the issuer’s investment performance. For this reason, the Fund’s Sustainable Leaders strategy could cause it to perform differently compared to funds that do not have such strategy. Sustainable Leaders investing is qualitative and subjective by nature. In addition, the Fund may be required to sell a security when it might otherwise be disadvantageous for it to do so. In evaluating an issuer, the Adviser utilizes, in part, information and data obtained through voluntary or third-party reporting that may be incomplete, inaccurate or unavailable, which could cause the Adviser to incorrectly assess an issuer’s business practices with respect to the environment, social responsibility and corporate governance. Securities of companies with ESG practices may shift into and out of favor depending on market and economic conditions and may be linked to long-term rather than short-term returns. In addition, there is a risk that the companies identified as sustainable leaders by the Adviser do not operate as expected when addressing ESG issues. There is no guarantee that the Adviser’s definition of security selection criteria or investment judgment will reflect the beliefs or values of any particular investor.
aa. 
Valuation Risk
  The price that a Fund could receive upon the sale of any particular portfolio investment may differ from the Fund’s valuation of the investment, particularly for securities that trade in thin or volatile markets or that are valued using a fair valuation methodology or a price provided by an independent pricing service. As a result, the price received upon the sale of an investment may be less than the value ascribed by a Fund, and the Fund could realize a greater than expected loss or lesser than expected gain upon the sale of the investment. The ability to value a Fund's investments may also be impacted by technological issues and/or errors by pricing services or other third-party service providers.

6.  Contingencies
In the normal course of business, the Funds may provide general indemnifications pursuant to certain contracts and organizational documents. The Funds' maximum exposure under these arrangements is dependent on future claims that may be made against the Funds, and therefore, cannot be estimated; however, the Funds expect the risk of loss from such claims to be remote.

9.  Line of Credit
The Trust, on behalf of each of the open-end mutual funds of the Trust (including the Funds) (the “Borrowers”), has entered into an agreement (the “Agreement”) with State Street Bank and Trust Company (the “Bank”), subject to annual renewal. As of April 30, 2025, the Agreement provides for a revolving credit facility (the “Credit Facility”) in the amount of $150,000,000 to be utilized for temporary or emergency purposes to fund shareholder redemptions or other short-term liquidity purposes.
As of April 30, 2025, the Emerging Markets ex-China Fund had $625,000 repayable to State Street.
Principal on each outstanding loan made under the Agreement bears interest at a variable rate per annum equal to (a) 10 basis points + (b) the higher of (i) the Federal Funds Rate on such date (not less than zero) plus one and one quarter of one percent (1.25%) or (ii) the Overnight Bank Funding Rate on such date plus one and one quarter of one percent (1.25%). In addition, the Borrowers shall pay to the Bank a commitment fee at the rate of 0.25% per annum on the daily unused portion of the Credit Facility, as applicable, which is allocated among the Borrowers in such manner as is determined by the Board to be reasonable. For each Fund that borrowed under the Credit Facility during the six-month period ended April 30, 2025, the following table shows the average outstanding daily balance of the days the Fund utilized the Credit Facility and the average weighted interest rate paid by the Fund during the  six-month period ended April 30, 2025.

The acquisition was accomplished by a tax-free exchange as follows:
6,229,012 shares of the Acquired Fund, fair valued at $70,710,559, were exchanged for 5,568,395 shares of the Acquiring Fund.
The investment portfolio and cash of the Acquired Fund, with a fair value of $70,515,326 and identified cost of $68,266,807, were the principal assets acquired by the Acquiring Fund.

1.  Organization
abrdn Funds (the “Trust”) was organized as a statutory trust under the laws of the state of Delaware by a Certificate of Trust filed on September 27, 2007 and is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”), as an open-end management investment company. As of April 30, 2025, the Trust had authorized an unlimited number of shares of beneficial interest (“shares”) without par value. As of April 30, 2025, the Trust operated eighteen (18) separate series, each with its own investment objective(s) and strategies. This report contains the financial statements and financial highlights of the five (5) funds listed below (each a “Fund”; collectively, the “Funds”):
abrdn High Income Opportunities Fund (“High Income Opportunities Fund”)
abrdn Infrastructure Debt Fund ("Infrastructure Debt Fund")
abrdn Intermediate Municipal Income Fund ("Intermediate Municipal Income Fund")
abrdn Short Duration High Yield Municipal Fund ("Short Duration High Yield Municipal Fund")
abrdn Ultra Short Municipal Income Fund ("Ultra Short Municipal Income Fund")
2.  Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
The Trust is an investment company and accordingly follows the investment company accounting and reporting guidance of the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") Accounting Standards Codification Topic 946 Financial Services-Investment Companies. The following is a summary of significant accounting policies followed by the Funds in the preparation of their financial statements. The policies conform to generally accepted accounting principles ("U.S. GAAP") in the United States of America. The preparation of financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of income and expenses for the period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. The accounting records of the Funds are maintained in U.S. Dollars.
a. 
Security Valuation:
  The Funds value their securities at fair value, consistent with regulatory requirements. "Fair value" is defined in the Funds' Valuation and Liquidity Procedures as the price that could be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between willing market participants without a compulsion to transact at the measurement date, also referred to as market value. Pursuant to Rule 2a-5 under the 1940 Act, the Board of Trustees (the "Board") designated abrdn Inc. ("abrdn" or the "Adviser") as the valuation designee ("Valuation Designee") for the Funds to perform the fair value determinations relating to Fund investments for which market quotations are not readily available or deemed unreliable.
  Equity securities that are traded on an exchange are valued at the last quoted sale price or the official close price on the principal exchange on which the security is traded at the “Valuation Time” subject to application, when appropriate, of the valuation factors described in the paragraph below. Under normal circumstances, the Valuation Time is as of the close of regular trading on the New York Stock Exchange ("NYSE") (usually 4:00 p.m. Eastern Time). In the absence of a sale price, the security is valued at the mean of the bid/ask price quoted at the close on the principal exchange on which the security is traded. Securities traded on NASDAQ are valued at the NASDAQ official closing price.
  In accordance with the authoritative guidance on fair value measurements and disclosures under U.S. GAAP, the Funds disclose the fair value of their investments using a three-level hierarchy that classifies the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure the fair value. The hierarchy assigns Level 1, the highest level, measurements to valuations based upon unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets, Level 2 measurements to valuations based upon other significant observable inputs, including adjusted quoted prices in active markets for similar assets, and Level 3, the lowest level, measurements to valuations based upon unobservable inputs that are significant to the valuation. Inputs refer broadly to the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability, including assumptions about risk, for example, the risk inherent in a particular valuation technique used to measure fair value including a pricing model and/or the risk inherent in the inputs to the valuation technique. Inputs may be observable or unobservable. Observable inputs are inputs that reflect the assumptions market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability, which are based on market data obtained from sources independent of the reporting entity. Unobservable inputs are inputs that reflect the reporting entity’s own assumptions about the assumptions market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability developed based on the best information available in the circumstances. A financial instrument’s level within the fair value hierarchy is based upon the lowest level of any input that is significant to the fair value measurement.
  Open-end mutual funds are valued at the respective net asset value (“NAV”) as reported by such company. The prospectuses for the registered open-end management investment companies in which a Fund invests explain the circumstances under which those companies will use fair value pricing and the effects of using fair value pricing. Closed-end funds and exchange-traded funds ("ETFs") are valued at the market price of the security at the Valuation Time (defined above). A security using any of these pricing methodologies is generally determined to be a Level 1 investment.

  Foreign equity securities that are traded on foreign exchanges that close prior to the Valuation Time are valued by applying valuation factors to the last sale price or the mean price as noted above. Valuation factors are provided by an independent pricing service provider. These valuation factors are used when pricing a Fund's portfolio holdings to estimate market movements between the time foreign markets close and the time a Fund values such foreign securities. These valuation factors are based on inputs such as depositary receipts, indices, futures, sector indices/ETFs, exchange rates, and local exchange opening and closing prices of each security. When prices with the application of valuation factors are utilized, the value assigned to the foreign securities may not be the same as quoted or published prices of the securities on their primary markets. A security that applies a valuation factor is generally determined to be a Level 2 investment because the exchange-traded price has been adjusted. Valuation factors are not utilized if the independent pricing service provider is unable to provide a valuation factor or if the valuation factor falls below a predetermined threshold; in such case, the security is determined to be a Level 1 investment.
  Long-term debt and other fixed income securities are valued at the last quoted or evaluated bid price on the valuation date provided by an independent pricing service provider. If there are no current day bids, the security is valued at the previously applied bid. Pricing services generally price debt securities assuming orderly transactions of an institutional “round lot” size, and the strategies employed by the Adviser as Valuation Designee generally trade in round lot sizes. In certain circumstances, fixed income securities may be held or transactions may be conducted in smaller, “odd lot” sizes. Odd lots may trade at lower or occasionally higher prices than institutional round lot trades. Short-term debt securities (such as commercial paper and U.S. treasury bills) having a remaining maturity of 60 days or less are valued at the last quoted or evaluated bid price on the valuation date provided by an independent pricing service, or on the basis of amortized cost if it represents the best approximation for fair value. Debt and other fixed-income securities are generally determined to be Level 2 investments.
  Short-term investments are comprised of cash and cash equivalents invested in short-term investment funds which are redeemable daily. The Funds sweep available cash into the State Street Institutional U.S. Government Money Market Fund, which has elected to qualify as a “government money market fund” pursuant to Rule 2a-7 under the 1940 Act, and has an objective, which is not guaranteed, to maintain a $1.00 per share NAV. Generally, these investment types are categorized as Level 1 investments.
  Derivative instruments are generally valued according to the following procedures. Exchange traded derivatives are generally Level 1 investments and over-the-counter and centrally cleared derivatives are generally Level 2 investments. Forward currency exchange contracts are generally valued based on the current spot exchange rates and the forward exchange rate points (ex. 1-month, 3-month) that are obtained from an approved pricing agent. Based on the actual settlement dates of the forward contracts held, an interpolated value of the forward points is combined with the spot exchange rate to derive the valuation. Futures contracts are generally valued at the most recent settlement price as of NAV determination. Swap agreements are generally valued by an approved pricing agent based on the terms of the swap agreement (including future cash flows). Exchange-traded options are valued at the last quoted sales price. In the absence of a sales price, options are valued at the mean of the bid/ask price quoted at the close on the exchange on which the options trade. When market quotations or exchange rates are not readily available, or if the Adviser concludes that such market quotations do not accurately reflect fair value, the fair value of a Fund’s assets are determined in good faith in accordance with the Valuation Procedures.
  In the event that a security’s market quotations are not readily available or are deemed unreliable (for reasons other than because the foreign exchange on which it trades closes before the Valuation Time), the security is valued at fair value as determined by the Valuation Designee, taking into account the relevant factors and surrounding circumstances using valuation policies and procedures approved by the Board. A security that has been fair valued by the Adviser may be classified as Level 2 or Level 3 depending on the nature of the inputs.
  The three-level hierarchy of inputs is summarized below:
Level 1 - quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical investments;
Level 2 - other significant observable inputs (including valuation factors, quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, and credit risk, etc.); or
Level 3 - significant unobservable inputs (including a Fund’s own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments).

Level 3 investments held during and at the end of the six-month period ended April 30, 2025 in relation to net assets of the High Income Opportunities Fund and Short Duration High Yield Municipal Fund were not significant (0.0% and 0.4% of total net assets, respectively) and accordingly, a reconciliation of Level 3 assets for the six-month period ended April 30, 2025 is not presented.
The valuation technique used to value the Level 3 security in the Short Duration High Yield Municipal Fund is the Fund’s current entitlement to monies held in a secure escrow account, which is only released when all of the terms of an agreement are met.
b. 
Restricted Securities:
  Restricted securities are privately-placed securities whose resale is restricted under U.S. securities laws. The Funds may invest in restricted securities, including unregistered securities eligible for resale without registration pursuant to Rule 144A and privately-placed securities of U.S. and non-U.S. issuers offered outside the U.S. without registration pursuant to Regulation S under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. Rule 144A securities may be freely traded among certain qualified institutional investors, such as the Funds, but resale of such securities in the U.S. is permitted only in limited circumstances.
c. 
Foreign Currency Translation:
  Foreign securities, currencies and other assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollars at the exchange rate of said currencies against the U.S. dollar, as of the Valuation Time, as provided by an independent pricing service. 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 Funds do 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 gain or loss from investments and foreign currencies within the Statements of Operations.

d. 
Derivative Financial Instruments:
  Certain Funds are authorized to use derivatives to manage currency risk, credit risk, and interest rate risk and to replicate, or use as a substitute for, physical securities. Losses may arise due to changes in the value of the contract or if the counterparty does not perform under the contract. The use of derivative instruments involves, to varying degrees, elements of market risk in excess of the amount recognized in the Statements of Assets and Liabilities.
  Forward Foreign Currency Exchange Contracts:
  A forward foreign currency exchange contract ("forward contract") involves an obligation to purchase and sell a specific currency at a future date, which may be any fixed number of days from the date of the contract agreed upon by the parties, at a price set at the time of the contract. Forward contracts are used to manage a Fund's currency exposure in an efficient manner. They are used to sell unwanted currency exposure that comes with holding securities in a market, or to buy currency exposure where the exposure from holding securities is insufficient to give the desired currency exposure either in absolute terms or relative to a particular benchmark or index. The use of forward contracts allows for the separation of investment decision-making between foreign exchange holdings and their currencies.
  The forward contract is marked-to-market daily and the change in market value is recorded by a Fund as unrealized appreciation or depreciation. Forward contracts' prices are received daily from an independent pricing provider. When the forward contract is closed, a Fund records a realized gain or loss equal to the difference between the value at the time it was opened and the value at the time it was closed. These realized and unrealized gains and losses are reported on the Statement of Operations. A Fund could be exposed to risks if the counterparties to the contracts are unable to meet the terms of their contracts or from unanticipated movements in exchange rates.
  While a Fund may enter into forward contracts to seek to reduce currency exchange rate risks, transactions in such contracts involve certain risks. A Fund could be exposed to risks if the counterparties to the contracts are unable to meet the terms of their contracts and from unanticipated movements in exchange rates. Thus, while a Fund may benefit from such transactions, unanticipated changes in currency prices may result in a poorer overall performance for a Fund than if it had not engaged in any such transactions. Moreover, there may be an imperfect correlation between a Fund’s portfolio holdings or securities quoted or denominated in a particular currency and forward contracts entered into by the Fund. Such imperfect correlation may prevent a Fund from achieving a complete hedge, which will expose the Fund to the risk of foreign exchange loss.
  Forward contracts are subject to the risk that the counterparties to such contracts may default on their obligations. Since a forward foreign currency exchange contract is not guaranteed by an exchange or clearing house, a default on the contract would deprive a Fund of unrealized profits, transaction costs or the benefits of a currency hedge or force a Fund to cover its purchase or sale commitments, if any, at the market price at the time of the default.
  Futures Contracts
  Certain Funds may invest in financial futures contracts (“futures contracts”) for the purpose of hedging their existing portfolio securities, or securities that a Fund intends to purchase, against fluctuations in value caused by changes in prevailing market interest rates or prices. Futures contracts may also be entered into for non-hedging purposes; however, in those instances, the aggregate initial margin and premiums required to establish a Fund’s positions may not exceed 5% of a Fund’s NAV after taking into account unrealized profits and unrealized losses on any such contract into which it has entered.
  Upon entering into a futures contract, a Fund is required to pledge to the broker an amount of cash and/or other assets equal to a certain percentage of the contract amount. This payment is known as initial margin. Subsequent payments, known as “variation margin,” are calculated each day, depending on the daily fluctuations in the fair value of the underlying assets. An unrealized gain/(loss) equal to the variation margin is recognized on a daily basis. When the contract expires or is closed, the gain/(loss) is realized and is presented in the Statement of Operations as a net realized gain/(loss) on futures contracts. Futures contracts are valued daily at their last quoted sale price on the exchange on which they are traded.
  A “sale” of a futures contract means a contractual obligation to deliver the securities or foreign currency called for by the contract at a fixed price at a specified time in the future. A “purchase” of a futures contract means a contractual obligation to acquire the securities or foreign currency at a fixed price at a specified time in the future.
  There are significant risks associated with a Fund's use of futures contracts, including the following: (1) the success of a hedging strategy may depend on the ability of a Fund's investment manager and/or sub-adviser to predict movements in the prices of individual securities, fluctuations in markets and movements in interest rates; (2) there may be an imperfect or no correlation between the movement in the price of futures contracts, interest rates and the fair value of the securities held by a Fund; (3) there may not be a liquid secondary market for a futures contract; (4) trading restrictions or limitations may be imposed by an exchange; and (5) government regulations may restrict trading

  in futures contracts. In addition, should market conditions change unexpectedly, a Fund may not achieve the anticipated benefits of the futures contracts and may realize a loss.
  Options
  Options are instruments that provide a right to buy (call) or sell (put) a particular security or an index of securities at a fixed price within a certain time period. Options differ from forward and futures contracts in that the buyer of the option has no obligation to perform under the contract. An option is out-of-the money if the exercise price of the option is above, in the case of a call option, or below, in the case of a put option, the current price (or interest rate or yield for certain options) of the referenced security or instrument. Use of put and call options may result in losses to a Fund, force the sale or purchase of portfolio securities at inopportune times or for prices higher than (in the case of put options) or lower than (in the case of call options) current fair values, limit the amount of appreciation a Fund can realize on its investments or cause a Fund to hold a security it might otherwise sell.
  Summary of Derivative Instruments

Security Transactions, Investment Income and Expenses:
  Security transactions are recorded on the trade date. Realized and unrealized gains/(losses) from security and currency transactions are calculated on the identified cost basis. Dividend income and corporate actions are recorded generally on the ex-date, except for certain dividends and corporate actions which may be recorded after the ex-date, as soon as a Fund acquires information regarding such dividends or corporate actions.
  Interest income and expenses are recorded on an accrual basis. Expenses directly attributable to a Fund are charged to that Fund. Expenses not directly attributable to a Fund are allocated proportionately among the relevant Funds based on net assets of each Fund as of the month end. For each of the Funds, the method for allocating income, fund level expenses, and realized and unrealized gains or losses to a class is
2025 Semi-Annual Report 47

 

Table of Contents
Notes to  Financial Statements (unaudited)  (continued)
April 30, 2025

  based on the total net asset value of that class’s shares in proportion to the total net assets of the relevant Fund. Expenses specific to a class (such as Rule 12b-1 and administrative services fees) are charged to that class.
f. 
Distributions:
  Distributions from net investment income, if any, are declared daily and paid monthly for the Intermediate Municipal Income Fund, Short Duration High Yield Municipal Fund and the Ultra Short Municipal Income Fund. Distributions from net investment income, if any, are declared and paid monthly for the High Income Opportunities Fund and the Infrastructure Debt Fund. The Funds will also declare and pay distributions at least annually from net realized gains on investment transactions and net realized foreign exchange gains, if any. Dividends and distributions to shareholders are recorded on the ex-dividend date.
  Dividends and distributions to shareholders are determined in accordance with federal income tax regulations, which may differ from U.S. GAAP. These differences are primarily due to differing treatment for foreign currencies and loss deferrals.
g. 
Federal Income Taxes:
  Each Fund intends to continue to qualify as a “regulated investment company” by complying with the provisions available to certain investment companies, as defined in Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and to make distributions of net investment income and net realized capital gains sufficient to relieve the Funds from all federal income taxes. Therefore, no federal income tax provision is required. Management of the Funds has concluded that there are no significant uncertain tax positions that would require recognition in the financial statements. Since tax authorities can examine previously filed tax returns, the Funds' U.S. federal and state tax returns for each of the most recent four fiscal years up to the most recent fiscal year ended October 31, 2024 are subject to such review.
  Each Fund may recognize interest and penalties related to tax items, including uncertain tax positions, within interest expense and other expenses respectively. No interest expense or penalties related to taxation have been recognized as of and for the six-month period ended April 30, 2025.
h. 
Foreign Withholding Tax:
  Interest income from non-U.S. sources received by the Funds are generally subject to non-U.S. withholding taxes and are recorded on the Statements of Operations. The Funds file for tax reclaims for the refund of such withholdings taxes according to tax treaties. Tax reclaims that are deemed collectible are booked as tax reclaim receivable on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities. Foreign tax authorities can examine previously filed withholding tax reclaims for various periods of time, depending on the statute of limitations in each foreign jurisdiction. In some cases, amounts that have been refunded by foreign tax authorities and received by the Funds are still subject to such review.
  In addition, the Funds may be subject to capital gains tax in certain countries in which they invest. The above taxes may be reduced or eliminated under the terms of applicable U.S. income tax treaties with some of these countries. The Funds accrue such taxes when the related income is earned.
  In addition, when the Funds sell securities within certain countries in which they invest, the capital gains realized may be subject to tax. Based on these market requirements and as required under U.S. GAAP, the Funds accrue deferred capital gains tax on securities currently held that have unrealized appreciation within these countries. The amount of deferred capital gains tax accrued is reported on the Statements of Operations as part of the Net Change in Unrealized Appreciation/Depreciation on Investments.
i. 
Securities Lending:
  Through an agreement with Securities Finance Trust Company as the Lending Agent and State Street Bank and Trust Company (the Funds’ custodian, "State Street"), the Funds may lend their portfolio securities to brokers, dealers and other financial institutions that pay a negotiated fee in order to generate additional income. The Funds receive non-cash collateral in the form of U.S. Government Securities, with respect to each loan of U.S. securities, typically equal to at least 102% of the value of the portfolio securities loaned, and, with respect to each loan of non-U.S. securities, typically equal to at least 105% of the value of the portfolio securities loaned, and at all times thereafter require the borrower to mark to market such collateral on a daily basis so that the fair value of such collateral does not fall below 100% of the fair value of the portfolio securities so loaned.
  Income generated from securities lending includes the difference between (i) the sum of income received from the investment of collateral received from the borrowers that are counterparties to loans, loan fees received from loans, and fees paid by borrower on loans collateralized with collateral other than cash collateral; and ii) any rebate paid to a borrower, and any other allocable fees and expenses in connection with loans of securities. All income is accrued daily and is apportioned 90% to the Funds and 10% to the Lending Agent.

  The Funds continue to own the loaned securities and continue to recognize unrealized gains and losses on the securities on loan. However, securities lending involves certain risks, including the event of default or insolvency of the borrower, and possible delays or restrictions upon a Fund’s ability to recover the loaned securities or dispose of the collateral for the loan. Securities on loan are noted within the Statement of Investments. Non-cash securities lending collateral held by the Lending Agent on behalf of the Funds cannot be sold or repledged by the Funds and therefore, this amount is not presented on the Funds’ Statements of Investments.
  For the six-month period ended April 30, 2025, no lending activity took place.

The Adviser has engaged the services of affiliate abrdn Investments Limited (on behalf of Infrastructure Debt Fund) as subadviser (the “Subadviser”) pursuant to sub-advisory agreements. The Subadviser manages a portion of the applicable Fund’s investments and has the responsibility for making all investment decisions for the portion of such Fund’s assets they manage. Pursuant to the subadvisory agreements, the Adviser pays fees to the Subadviser, if any.
The Trust and Aberdeen have entered into written contracts (“Expense Limitation Agreements”) limiting operating expenses for all classes of the Funds from exceeding the amounts listed in the tables below. For each Fund, this contractual limitation may not be terminated before February 28, 2026 without the approval of the Trustees who are not “interested persons” of the Trust, as such term is defined by the 1940 Act (the “Independent Trustees”). For the High Income Opportunities Fund, this contractual limitation may not be terminated before February 28, 2026. For the Intermediate Municipal Income Fund and the Infrastructure Debt Fund, this limit excludes certain expenses, including any taxes, interest, brokerage fees, short-sale dividend expenses, Acquired Fund Fees and Expenses, Rule 12b-1 fees, administrative services fees, transfer agent out-of-pocket expenses for Class A shares, Class R shares and Institutional Service Class shares and extraordinary expenses. For the High Income Opportunities Fund, this limit excludes certain expenses, including any taxes, interest, brokerage fees, short-sale dividend expenses, Acquired Fund Fees and Expenses, and Rule 12b-1 fees for Class A shares and extraordinary expenses. For the Short Duration High Yield Municipal Fund and Ultra Short Municipal Income Fund, this limit includes Rule 12b-1 Fees, but excludes certain expenses, including any interest, brokerage commissions, Acquired Fund Fees and Expenses, and extraordinary expenses.

Accordingly, at April 30, 2025, the Funds did not have liabilities payable to the Adviser for recapture of previously reimbursed expenses.
b. 
Fund Administration:
  Under the terms of the Fund Administration Agreement, Aberdeen provides various administrative and accounting services, including daily valuation of the Funds' shares, preparation of financial statements, tax returns, regulatory reports, and presentation of quarterly reports to the Board. For services provided pursuant to the Fund Administration Agreement, the Trust pays Aberdeen an annual fee of 0.08% based on the Trust’s average daily net assets. The fee is then allocated proportionately among all funds within the Trust (including the Funds) in relation to the average daily net assets of each fund. This asset-based fee is subject to an annual minimum fee based on the number of funds served. Pursuant to a sub-administration agreement with abrdn, State Street provides sub-administration services with respect to the Funds. Aberdeen pays State Street for providing such services.
c. 
Distributor and Shareholder Servicing:
  The Trust and Aberdeen Fund Distributors, LLC (the “Distributor”) are parties to the current Underwriting Agreement (the “Underwriting Agreement”) whereby the Distributor acts as principal underwriter for the Trust’s shares.
  The Trust has adopted a Distribution Plan (the “Plan”) pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act with respect to certain classes of shares. The Plan permits the Funds to compensate the Distributor, for expenses associated with the distribution-related and/or shareholder services provided by such entities. These fees are paid to the Distributor and are either kept or paid to shareholders’ financial advisors or other

Pursuant to the current Underwriting Agreement, the Distributor will also receive the proceeds of contingent deferred sales charges (“CDSCs”) of 1.00% imposed on certain redemptions of Class C (and up to 1.00% for certain Class A) shares.
The Distributor re-allows to dealer 2.50% of sales charges on Class A shares of the High Income Opportunities Fund and Infrastructure Debt Fund; 2.00% of sales charges on Class A shares of the Intermediate Municipal Income Fund and Short Duration High Yield Municipal Fund; and 0.50% of sales charges on Class A1 of the Ultra Short Municipal Income Fund. In addition, the Distributor or Adviser may compensate broker dealers or financial intermediaries for sales of Class C shares from its own resources at the rate of 1.00% on sales of Class C shares, which have a maximum CDSC of 1.00% (the CDSC assessed on sales within one year of purchase).

Administrative Services Fees/Transfer Agent Out-of-Pocket Expenses
  The Funds may pay and/or reimburse administrative services fees/sub-transfer agent expenses to certain broker-dealers and financial intermediaries who provide administrative support services to beneficial shareholders on behalf of the Funds (sometimes referred to as “sub-transfer agency fees”), subject to certain limitations approved by the Board. These fees may be in addition to Rule 12b-1 fees. Sub-transfer agency fees generally include, but are not limited to, costs associated with recordkeeping, networking, sub-transfer agency or other administrative or shareholder services.
  Class A, Class A1, Class R and Institutional Service Class shares of the Funds pay for such services pursuant to an Administrative Services Plan adopted by the Board. Under the Administrative Services Plan, a Fund may pay a broker-dealer or other intermediary a maximum annual sub-transfer agent and administrative services fee of 0.25%  for Class A, Class A1, Class R and Institutional Service Class shares. Under an amendment to the Administrative Services Plan that is in effect until at least February 28, 2026, the administrative service fee is limited to a maximum of 0.15% for contracts with fees that are calculated as a percentage of Fund assets and a maximum of $16 per account for contracts with fees that are calculated on a dollar per account basis; however, many intermediaries do not charge the maximum permitted

Purchase/Sale Transactions Between Affiliates
  The Funds are permitted to buy or sell securities with funds that have a common investment adviser (or investment advisers which are affiliates) under specific procedures which have been approved by the Board. The procedures are designed to satisfy the requirements of Rule 17a-7 of the Investment Company Act of 1940 (“Rule 17a-7”). During the six-month period ended April 30, 2025, the Funds did not engage in any of these trades.

5.  Portfolio Investment Risks
a. 
Active Management Risk
  Each Fund is subject to the risk that the Adviser or Subadviser (as applicable) may make poor security selections. The Adviser, Subadviser and their portfolio managers apply their own investment techniques and risk analyses in making investment decisions for a Fund and there can be no guarantee that these decisions will achieve the desired results for a Fund. In addition, the Adviser or Subadviser may select securities that underperform the relevant market or other funds with similar investment objectives and strategies.
b. 
Auction Rate Securities Risk
  The Intermediate Municipal Income Fund, Short Duration High Yield Municipal Fund and Ultra Short Municipal Income Fund (the “Municipal Funds”) may buy or sell auction rate securities. Auction rate securities are variable rate bonds whose interest rates are reset at specified intervals through a “Dutch” auction process. A “Dutch” auction is a competitive bidding process designed to determine a single uniform clearing rate that enables purchases and sales of the auction rate securities to take place at par. All accepted bids and holders of the auction rate securities receive the same rate. Auction rate securities holders rely on the liquidity generated by the auction. There is a risk that an auction will fail due to insufficient demand for the securities. If an auction fails, an auction rate security may become illiquid until a subsequent successful auction is conducted, the issuer redeems the issue, or a secondary market develops.

c. 
Bank Loan Risk
  The High Income Opportunities Fund and Infrastructure Debt Fund may buy or sell bank loans. There are some risks associated with an investment in bank loans including credit risk, interest rate risk, illiquid securities risk, and prepayment risk. There is also the possibility that the collateral securing a loan, if any, may be difficult to liquidate or be insufficient to cover the amount owed under the loan. Bank loans have significantly longer settlement periods (e.g., longer than seven days) than more traditional investments resulting in the proceeds from the sale of such loans not being readily available to make additional investments or to meet a Fund’s redemption obligations.  In addition, loans are not registered under the federal securities laws like stocks and bonds, so investors in loans have less protection against improper practices than investors in registered securities. These risks could cause a Fund to lose income or principal on a particular investment, which in turn could affect a Fund’s returns.
d. 
Cybersecurity Risk
  Cybersecurity incidents may allow an unauthorized party to gain access to Fund assets, customer data (including private shareholder information), or proprietary information, or cause each Fund, the Adviser and/or their service providers (including, but not limited to, Fund accountants, custodians, sub-custodians, transfer agents and financial intermediaries) to suffer data breaches, data corruption or lose operational functionality.
e. 
Derivatives Risk (including Options, Futures and Swaps)
  The High Income Opportunities Fund and Infrastructure Debt Fund are subject to Derivatives Risk. Derivatives are speculative and may hurt the Fund’s performance. The potential benefits to be derived from the Fund’s options, futures and derivatives strategy are dependent upon the portfolio managers’ ability to discern pricing inefficiencies and predict trends in these markets, which decisions could prove to be inaccurate.
  Speculative Exposure Risk. To the extent that a derivative or practice is not used as a hedge, the Fund is directly exposed to its risks. Gains or losses from speculative positions in a derivative may be much greater than the derivative’s original cost. For example, potential losses from writing uncovered call options and from speculative short sales are unlimited.
  Hedged Exposure Risk. Losses generated by a derivative or practice used by the Fund for hedging purposes should be substantially offset by gains on the hedged investment. However, while hedging can reduce or eliminate losses, it can also reduce or eliminate gains.
  Correlation Risk. The Fund is exposed to the risk that changes in the value of a hedging instrument will not match those of the investment being hedged.
  Counterparty Risk. Derivative transactions depend on the creditworthiness of the counterparty and the counterparty’s ability to fulfill its contractual obligations.
  Other Derivatives Risks. Fixed income derivatives are subject to interest rate risk. In addition, certain derivatives may be subject to illiquid securities risk, mispricing or valuation complexity, market risk and management risk. The Fund may need to sell portfolio securities at inopportune times to satisfy margin or payment obligations under derivatives investments. Changes in regulation relating to the Fund’s use of derivatives and related instruments could potentially limit or impact the Fund’s ability to invest in derivatives, limit the Fund’s ability to employ certain strategies that use derivatives and/or adversely affect the value of derivatives and the Fund’s performance.
f. 
Emerging Markets Risk
  Emerging markets are countries generally considered to be relatively less developed or industrialized, and investments in emerging markets countries are subject to a magnification of the risks that apply to foreign investments. These risks are greater for securities of companies in emerging markets countries because the countries may have less stable governments, more volatile currencies and less established markets (see “Foreign Securities Risk” below).
g. 
ESG Integration Risk
  To the extent ESG (Environmental, Social and Governance) factors are used to evaluate investments, the consideration of such factors may adversely affect a Fund’s performance. Not every ESG factor may be identified or evaluated for every investment. ESG characteristics are not the only factors considered and, as a result, the issuers in which a Fund invests may not be issuers with favorable ESG characteristics or high ESG ratings. The application of ESG factors may result in a Fund performing differently than its benchmark index and other funds in its peer group that do not consider ESG factors or consider different ESG factors.
2025 Semi-Annual Report 53

Notes to  Financial Statements (unaudited)  (continued)
April 30, 2025

h. 
Fixed Income Securities Risk
  Fixed income securities fluctuate in price based on changes in an issuer’s financial condition and overall market and economic conditions. The value of a fixed income security may also fall due to specific conditions that affect a particular sector of the securities market or a particular issuer. Fixed income securities are subject to, among other risks, credit risk, extension risk, issuer risk, interest rate risk, market risk and prepayment risk.
i. 
Foreign Currency Exposure Risk
  The value of foreign currencies relative to the U.S. Dollar fluctuates in response to market, economic, political, regulatory, geopolitical or other conditions. A decline in the value of a foreign currency versus the U.S. Dollar reduces the value in U.S. Dollars of investments denominated in that foreign currency. This risk may impact a Fund more greatly to the extent the Fund does not hedge its currency risk, or hedging techniques used by the Adviser are unsuccessful.
j. 
Foreign Securities Risk
  Foreign countries in which a Fund may invest may have markets that are less liquid, less regulated and more volatile than U.S. markets. The value of a Fund’s investments may decline because of factors such as unfavorable or unsuccessful government actions, reduction of government or central bank support and political or financial instability. To the extent the Fund focuses its investments in a single country or only a few countries in a particular geographic region, economic, political, regulatory or other conditions affecting such country or region may have a greater impact on Fund performance relative to a more geographically diversified fund.
k. 
Green, Social and Sustainability Bond Risk
  The Infrastructure Debt Fund’s performance may differ from the performance of other funds that do not invest green, social and sustainability bonds because the Fund’s investment strategy may select or exclude securities of certain issuers for reasons in addition to performance. Investing in green, social and sustainability bonds is qualitative and subjective by nature, and there is no guarantee that the factors utilized by the Adviser or any judgment exercised by the Adviser will reflect the opinions of any particular investor.
l. 
High-Yield Bonds and Other Lower-Rated Securities Risk
  A Fund’s investments in high-yield bonds (commonly referred to as “junk bonds”) and other lower-rated securities will subject the Fund to substantial risk of loss. Investments in high-yield bonds are speculative and issuers of these securities are generally considered to be less financially secure and less able to repay interest and principal than issuers of investment-grade securities. Prices of high-yield bonds tend to be very volatile. These securities are less liquid than investment-grade debt securities and may be difficult to price or sell, particularly in times of negative sentiment toward high-yield securities.
m. 
Illiquid Securities Risk
  Illiquid securities are assets that a Fund reasonably expects cannot be sold or disposed of in current market conditions in seven calendar days or less without the sale or disposition significantly changing the fair value of the asset. An inability to sell a portfolio position can adversely affect a Fund’s value or prevent the Fund from being able to take advantage of other investment opportunities. Illiquid securities and relatively less liquid securities may also be difficult to value.
  The Adviser employs procedures and tests using third-party and internal data inputs that seek to assess and manage the liquidity of a Fund’s portfolio holdings. These procedures and tests take into account a Fund’s investment strategy and liquidity of portfolio investments during both normal and foreseeable stressed conditions, cash-flow projections during both normal and reasonably foreseeable stressed conditions, relevant market, trading and other factors, and monitor whether liquidity should be adjusted based on changed market conditions. These procedures and tests are designed to assist a Fund in determining its ability to meet redemption requests in various market conditions. In light of the dynamic nature of markets, there can be no assurance that these procedures and tests will enable a Fund to ensure that it has sufficient liquidity to meet redemption requests.
n. 
Impact of Large Redemptions and Purchases of Fund Shares
  Occasionally, shareholders may make large redemptions or purchases of Fund shares, which may cause a Fund to have to sell securities or invest additional cash. These transactions may adversely affect the Fund’s performance and increase transaction costs. In addition, large redemption requests may exceed the cash balance of a Fund and result in credit line borrowing fees and/or overdraft charges to a Fund until the sales of portfolio securities necessary to cover the redemption request settle.

April 30, 2025

o. 
Infrastructure-Related Investments Risk
  Because the Infrastructure Debt Fund concentrates its investments in infrastructure-related entities, the Fund has greater exposure to the potential adverse economic, regulatory, political and other changes affecting such entities. Infrastructure related entities are subject to a variety of factors that may adversely affect their business or operations, including high interest costs in connection with capital construction programs, costs associated with environmental and other regulations, the effects of economic slowdown and surplus capacity, increased competition from other providers of services, uncertainties concerning the availability of fuel at reasonable prices, the effects of energy conservation policies and other factors. Additionally, infrastructure-related entities may be subject to regulation by various governmental authorities and may also be affected by governmental regulation of rates charged to customers, service interruption due to environmental, operational or other mishaps, the imposition of special tariffs and changes in tax laws, regulatory policies and accounting standards.
p. 
Interest Rate Risk
  Each Fund’s fixed income investments are subject to interest rate risk, which generally causes the value of a fixed income portfolio to decrease when interest rates rise resulting in a decrease in each Fund’s net assets. Interest rate fluctuations tend to have a greater impact on fixed income-securities with a greater time to maturity and/or lower coupon. A fund with a longer average portfolio duration will be more sensitive to changes in interest rates than a fund with a shorter average portfolio duration. In periods of market volatility, the fair values of fixed income securities may be more sensitive to changes in interest rates. The Fund may be subject to greater interest rate risk due to changing interest rate environment and the effect of potential government monetary and fiscal policy initiatives and resulting market reaction to those initiatives.
q. 
Investment-Grade Debt Securities
  Investment-grade debt securities are debt securities rated within the highest grades (AAA/Aaa through BBB-/Baa) by S&P or Moody’s rating services, and unrated securities of comparable quality. If a Fund invests, at the time of purchase, in a security that is investment-grade, it is possible that such security may be downgraded after its purchase so that it is no longer investment-grade.
r. 
Issuer Risk
  The value of a security may decline for reasons directly related to the issuer, such as management performance, financial leverage and reduced demand for the issuer's goods or services.
s. 
Market Risk
  Deteriorating market conditions might cause a general weakness in the market that reduces the prices, or yield, of securities in that market. Developments in a particular class of bonds or the stock market could also adversely affect a Fund by reducing the relative attractiveness of bonds or stocks as an investment. Also, to the extent that a Fund emphasizes bonds or stocks from any given industry, it could be hurt if that industry does not do well. Additionally, a Fund could lose value if the individual stocks in which it maintains long positions and/or the overall stock markets on which the stocks trade decline in price. In addition, a Fund that engages in short sales could lose value if the individual stocks which they sell short increase in price. Stocks and stock markets may experience short-term volatility (price fluctuation) as well as extended periods of price decline or increase. Individual stocks are affected by many factors, including:
corporate earnings;
production;
management;
sales; and
market trends, including investor demand for a particular type of stock, such as growth or value stocks, small or large stocks, or stocks within a particular industry.
Stock markets are affected by numerous factors, including interest rates, the outlook for corporate profits, the health of the national and world economies, the fluctuation of other stock markets around the world, and financial, economic and other global market developments and disruptions, such as those arising from war, terrorism, market manipulation, government interventions, defaults and shutdowns, political changes or diplomatic developments, public health emergencies and natural/environmental disasters. In addition, any spread of an infectious illness, public health threat or similar issue could reduce consumer demand or economic output, result in market closures, travel restrictions or quarantines, and generally have a significant impact on the world economy, which in turn could adversely affect the Fund’s investments.
Policy and legislative changes in the United States and in other countries are affecting many aspects of financial regulation, and governmental and quasi-governmental authorities and regulators throughout the world have responded to serious economic disruptions with a variety of significant fiscal and monetary policy changes, including but not limited to, direct capital infusions into companies, new monetary programs
2025 Semi-Annual Report 55

and interest rate hikes or reductions. The impact of these policies and legislative changes on the markets, and the practical implications for market participants, may not be fully known for some time. A reversal of these policies, or the ineffectiveness of these policies, could increase volatility in securities markets, which could adversely impact a Fund’s investments. The current market environment could make identifying investment risks and opportunities especially difficult for the Adviser.
Economies and financial markets throughout the world are becoming increasingly interconnected. As a result, whether or not a Fund invests in securities of issuers located in or with significant exposure to countries experiencing economic and financial difficulties, the value and liquidity of the Fund’s investments may be negatively affected by such events.
t. 
Municipal Securities Risk
  The Infrastructure Debt Fund and the Municipal Funds are subject to municipal securities risk. Municipal bonds can be significantly affected by political and economic changes, including inflation, as well as uncertainties in the municipal market related to taxation, legislative changes, or the rights of municipal security holders. Municipal bonds have varying levels of sensitivity to changes in interest rates. Interest rate risk is generally lower for shorter-term municipal bonds and higher for long term municipal bonds.
  Municipal Bond Tax Risk. A municipal bond that is issued as tax-exempt may later be declared to be taxable. In addition, if the federal income tax rate is reduced, the value of the tax exemption may be less valuable, causing the value of a municipal bond to decline.
  Municipal Market Volatility and Illiquidity Risk. The municipal bond market can be volatile, particularly for lower-rated and unrated securities. Liquidity can be reduced unpredictably in response to overall economic conditions or credit tightening. During times of reduced market liquidity, a Fund may not be able to readily sell bonds without the sale significantly changing the fair value of the bond. If the Fund needed to sell large blocks of bonds to meet shareholder redemption requests or to raise cash, those sales could further reduce the bonds’ prices.
  Municipal Sector Risk. From time to time, a Fund may invest a substantial amount of its assets in municipal securities whose interest is paid solely from revenues of similar projects. If a Fund concentrates its investments in this manner, it assumes the economic risks relating to such projects and any adverse changes to such projects  may have a significant negative impact on the Fund’s investment performance.
u. 
Portfolio Turnover Risk
  The High Income Opportunities Fund, Short Duration High Yield Municipal Fund and Ultra Short Municipal Income Fund may engage in active and frequent trading of portfolio securities to achieve their investment objectives. High portfolio turnover may result in greater transaction costs which may reduce Fund performance. The sale of Fund portfolio securities may also result in greater realization and/or distribution to shareholders of gains or losses as compared to a fund with less active trading, which may include short-term gains taxable at ordinary income tax rates.
v. 
Private Placements and Other Restricted Securities Risk
  The High Income Opportunities Fund and Short Duration High Yield Municipal Fund are subject to Private Placements Risk. Investments in private placements and other restricted securities, including Regulation S Securities and Rule 144A Securities, could have the effect of increasing the Fund’s level of illiquidity. Private placements and restricted securities may be less liquid than other investments because such securities may not always be readily sold in broad public markets and the Fund might be unable to dispose of such securities promptly or at prices reflecting their true value.
w. 
Sector Risk
  To the extent that a Fund has a significant portion of its assets invested in securities of companies conducting business in a broadly related group of industries within an economic sector, the Fund may be more vulnerable to unfavorable developments in that economic sector than funds that invest more broadly.
x. 
Sovereign Debt Risk
  The High Income Opportunities Fund is subject to Sovereign Debt Risk. Periods of economic and political uncertainty may result in the illiquidity and increased price volatility of a foreign government’s debt securities held by the Fund and impact an issuer’s ability and willingness to pay interest or repay principal when due. The Fund may have limited recourse to compel payment in the event of a default. A foreign government’s default on its debt securities may cause the value of securities held by the Fund to decline significantly.

y. 
Tender Option Bonds Risk
  The Municipal Funds are subject to Tender Option Bonds Risk. Tender option bonds are synthetic floating-rate or variable-rate securities issued when long-term bonds are purchased in the primary or secondary market and then deposited into a trust. Tender option bonds may be considered derivatives, and may expose the Fund to the same risks as investments in derivatives, as well as risks associated with leverage, especially the risk of increased volatility.
z. 
Tobacco Related Bonds Risk
  The Short Duration High Yield Municipal Fund is subject to Tobacco Related Bonds Risk. In 1998, the largest U.S. tobacco manufacturers reached an out of court agreement, the Master Service Agreement ("MSA"), to settle claims against them by 46 states and six other U.S. jurisdictions. The tobacco manufacturers agreed to make annual payments to the government entities in exchange for the release of all litigation claims. A number of the states have sold bonds that are backed by those future payments. The Funds may invest in two types of those bonds: (i) bonds that make payments only from a state’s interest in the MSA and (ii) bonds that make payments from both the MSA revenue and from an “appropriation pledge” by the state. An “appropriation pledge” requires the state to pass a specific periodic appropriation to make the payments and is generally not an unconditional guarantee of payment by a state. The MSA settlement payments are based on factors, including, but not limited to, annual domestic cigarette shipments, cigarette consumption, inflation and the financial capability of participating tobacco companies. Payments could be reduced if consumption decreases, if market share is lost to non-MSA manufacturers, or if there is a negative outcome in litigation regarding the MSA.
aa. 
U.S. Government Securities Risk
  Securities issued by U.S. Government agencies or government sponsored entities may not be guaranteed by the U.S. Treasury. The U.S. Government does not guarantee the net asset value of a Fund’s shares.
bb. 
Valuation Risk
  The price that a Fund could receive upon the sale of any particular portfolio investment may differ from the Fund’s valuation of the investment, particularly for securities that trade in thin or volatile markets or that are valued using a fair valuation methodology or a price provided by an independent pricing service. As a result, the price received upon the sale of an investment may be less than the value ascribed by a Fund, and the Fund could realize a greater than expected loss or lesser than expected gain upon the sale of the investment. The ability to value a Fund's investments may also be impacted by technological issues and/or errors by pricing services or other third-party service providers.
cc. 
Variable and Floating Rate Securities Risk
  Certain Funds are subject to Variable and Floating Rate Securities Risk. For floating and variable rate obligations, there may be a lag between an actual change in the underlying interest rate benchmark and the reset time for an interest payment of such an obligation, which could harm or benefit the Fund, depending on the interest rate environment or other circumstances. Variable rate demand obligations (“VRDOs”) are floating rate securities that combine an interest in a long term municipal bond with a right to demand payment before maturity from a bank or other financial institution. If the bank or financial institution is unable to pay, the Fund may lose money.
dd. 
Yield Risk
  The High Income Opportunities Fund and Ultra Short Municipal Income Fund are subject to Yield Risk. The amount of income received by the Fund will go up or down depending on day-to-day variations in short-term interest rates, and when interest rates are very low the Fund’s expenses could absorb all or a significant portion of the Fund’s income. If interest rates increase, the Fund’s yield may not increase proportionately. For example, the Adviser may discontinue any temporary voluntary fee limitation or recoup amounts previously waived and/or reimbursed.
  Please read the Funds' prospectuses for more detailed information regarding these and other risks.
6.  Contingencies
In the normal course of business, the Funds may provide general indemnifications pursuant to certain contracts and organizational documents. The Funds' maximum exposure under these arrangements is dependent on future claims that may be made against the Funds, and therefore, cannot be estimated; however, the Funds expect the risk of loss from such claims to be remote.

2.  Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
The Trust is an investment company and accordingly follows the investment company accounting and reporting guidance of the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") Accounting Standards Codification Topic 946 Financial Services-Investment Companies. The following is a summary of significant accounting policies followed by the Funds in the preparation of their financial statements. The policies conform to generally accepted accounting principles ("U.S. GAAP") in the United States of America. The preparation of financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of income and expenses for the period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. The accounting records of the Funds are maintained in U.S. Dollars.
a. 
Security Valuation:
  The net asset value (“NAV”) of each Fund is calculated each day the national securities exchanges are open for trading as of the close of regular trading on the New York Stock Exchange Arca (“NYSE Arca” or the “Listing Exchange”), generally 4:00 p.m. Eastern Standard Time (the “NAV Calculation Time”).
  NAV per share is calculated by dividing a Fund’s NAV by the number of Fund shares outstanding.
  The Funds value their securities at fair value, consistent with regulatory requirements. "Fair value" is defined in the Funds' Valuation and Liquidity Procedures as the price that could be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between willing market participants without a compulsion to transact at the measurement date, also referred to as market value. Pursuant to Rule 2a-5 under the 1940 Act, the Board of Trustees (the "Board") designated the Adviser as the valuation designee ("Valuation Designee") for the Funds to perform the fair value determinations relating to Fund investments for which market quotations are not readily available or deemed unreliable. unreliable.
  Equity securities that are traded on an exchange are valued at the last quoted sale price or the official close price on the principal exchange on which the security is traded at the “Valuation Time” subject to application, when appropriate, of the valuation factors described in the paragraph below.. Under normal circumstances, the Valuation Time is as of the close of regular trading on the New York Stock Exchange ("NYSE") (usually 4:00 p.m. Eastern Time). In the absence of a sale price, the security is valued at the mean of the bid/ask price quoted at the close on the principal exchange on which the security is traded. Securities traded on NASDAQ are valued at the NASDAQ official closing price.
  Foreign equity securities that are traded on foreign exchanges that close prior to the Valuation Time are valued at the last sale price or the mean price at the closing time of that exchange. Securities and other instruments that are primarily traded on foreign markets may trade on days that are not business days of the Funds. The value of the foreign securities or other instruments in which a Fund invests may change on days when a shareholder will not be able to purchase, sell or redeem shares of the Fund.

  Investments valued in currencies other than U.S. dollars are converted to U.S. dollars using the prevailing spot currency exchange rates obtained from independent pricing services for calculation of the NAV. As a result, the NAV of a Fund’s shares may be affected by changes in the value of currencies in relation to the U.S. dollar. The value of securities or other instruments traded in markets outside the United States or denominated in currencies other than the U.S. dollar may be affected significantly on a day that the Exchange is closed, and the market value may change on days when an investor is not able to purchase, sell or redeem shares of a Fund. Forward foreign currency contracts are generally valued based on the bid price of the forward rates and the current spot rate. Forward exchange rate quotations are available for scheduled settlement dates, such as 1-, 3-, 6-, 9- and 12-month periods. An interpolated valuation is derived based on the actual settlement dates of the forward contracts held. Futures contracts are valued at the settlement price or at the last bid price if no settlement price is available. Interest rate swaps agreements are generally valued by an approved pricing agent based on the terms of the swap agreement (including future cash flows).  
  Shares of investment companies listed and traded on an exchange are valued in the same manner as any exchange-listed equity security. Short-term investments are comprised of cash and cash equivalents invested in short-term investment funds which are redeemable daily. The Funds sweep available cash into the State Street Institutional U.S. Government Money Market Fund, which has elected to qualify as a “government money market fund” pursuant to Rule 2a-7 under the 1940 Act, and has an objective, which is not guaranteed, to maintain a $1.00 per share NAV. Generally, these investment types are categorized as Level 1 investments.                                                               
  In accordance with the authoritative guidance on fair value measurements and disclosures under U.S. GAAP, the Funds disclose the fair value of their investments using a three-level hierarchy that classifies the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure the fair value. The hierarchy assigns Level 1, the highest level, measurements to valuations based upon unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets, Level 2 measurements to valuations based upon other significant observable inputs, including adjusted quoted prices in active markets for similar assets, and Level 3, the lowest level, measurements to valuations based upon unobservable inputs that are significant to the valuation. Inputs refer broadly to the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability, including assumptions about risk, for example, the risk inherent in a particular valuation technique used to measure fair value including a pricing model and/or the risk inherent in the inputs to the valuation technique. Inputs may be observable or unobservable. Observable inputs are inputs that reflect the assumptions market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability, which are based on market data obtained from sources independent of the reporting entity. Unobservable inputs are inputs that reflect the reporting entity’s own assumptions about the assumptions market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability developed based on the best information available in the circumstances. A financial instrument’s level within the fair value hierarchy is based upon the lowest level of any input that is significant to the fair value measurement.
  Open-end mutual funds are valued at the respective net asset value (“NAV”) as reported by such company. The prospectuses for the registered open-end management investment companies in which a Fund invests explain the circumstances under which those companies will use fair value pricing and the effects of using fair value pricing. Closed-end funds and exchange-traded funds ("ETFs") are valued at the market price of the security at the Valuation Time (defined below). A security using any of these pricing methodologies is generally determined to be a Level 1 investment.
  If a security’s market quotations are not readily available or are deemed unreliable, the security is valued at fair value as determined by the Valuation Designee, considering the relevant factors and surrounding circumstances using valuation policies and procedures approved by the Board. A security that has been fair valued by the Adviser may be classified as Level 2 or Level 3 depending on the nature of the inputs. When deemed appropriate the Valuation Designee, may value foreign equity securities that are traded on foreign exchanges that close prior to the Valuation Time are valued by applying valuation factors to the last sale price or the mean price as noted above. Valuation factors are provided by an independent pricing service provider. These valuation factors are used when pricing a Fund's portfolio holdings to estimate market movements between the time foreign markets close and the time a Fund values such foreign securities. These valuation factors are based on inputs such as depositary receipts, indices, futures, sector indices/ETFs, exchange rates, and local exchange opening and closing prices of each security. When prices with the application of valuation factors are utilized, the value assigned to the foreign securities may not be the same as quoted or published prices of the securities on their primary markets. A security that applies a valuation factor is generally determined to be a Level 2 investment because the exchange-traded price has been adjusted. Valuation factors are not utilized if the independent pricing service provider is unable to provide a valuation factor or if the valuation factor falls below a predetermined threshold; in such case, the security is determined to be a Level 1 investment.
  The three-level hierarchy of inputs is summarized below:
Level 1 - quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical investments;
Level 2 - other significant observable inputs (including valuation factors, quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, and credit risk, etc.); or
Level 3 - significant unobservable inputs (including a Fund’s own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments).

b. 
Restricted Securities:
  Restricted securities are privately-placed securities whose resale is restricted under U.S. securities laws. The Funds may invest in restricted securities, including unregistered securities eligible for resale without registration pursuant to Rule 144A and privately-placed securities of U.S. and non-U.S. issuers offered outside the U.S. without registration pursuant to Regulation S under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. Rule 144A securities may be freely traded among certain qualified institutional investors, such as the Funds, but resale of such securities in the U.S. is permitted only in limited circumstances.
c. 
Foreign Currency Translation:
  Foreign securities, currencies and other assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollars at the exchange rate of said currencies against the U.S. dollar, as of the Valuation Time, as provided by an independent pricing service. 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 Funds do 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 gain or loss from investments and foreign currencies within the Statements of Operations.
d. 
Rights Issues and Warrants:
  Rights issues give the right, normally to existing shareholders, to buy a proportional number of additional securities at a given price (generally at a discount) within a fixed period (generally a short-term period) and are offered at the company’s discretion. Warrants are securities that
14 2025 Semi-Annual Report

 

Table of Contents
Notes to  Financial Statements (unaudited)  (continued)
April 30, 2025

  give the holder the right to buy common stock at a specified price for a specified period of time. Rights issues and warrants are speculative and have no value if they are not exercised before the expiration date. Rights issues and warrants are valued at the last sale price on the exchange on which they are traded.
e. 
Security Transactions, Investment Income and Expenses:
  Security transactions are recorded on the trade date. Realized and unrealized gains/(losses) from security and currency transactions are calculated on the identified cost basis. Dividend income and corporate actions are recorded generally on the ex-date, except for certain dividends and corporate actions which may be recorded after the ex-date, as soon as a Fund acquires information regarding such dividends or corporate actions.
  Interest income and expenses are recorded on an accrual basis. The calendar year-end amounts of ordinary income, capital gains and return of capital included in distributions received from the Funds’ investments in real estate investment trusts (“REITs”) are reported to the Funds after the end of the fiscal year; accordingly, the Funds estimate these amounts for accounting purposes until the characterization of REIT distributions is reported to the Funds after the end of the fiscal year. Estimates are based on the most recent REIT distribution information available. Expenses directly attributable to a Fund are charged to that Fund. Expenses not directly attributable to a Fund are allocated proportionately among the relevant Funds based on net assets of each Fund as of month-end. For each of the Funds, the method for allocating income, fund level expenses, and realized and unrealized gains or losses to a class is based on the average net asset value of that class’ shares in proportion to the average net assets of the relevant Fund when incurred. Expenses specific to a class (such as Rule 12b-1 and administrative services fees) are charged to that class.
f. 
Distributions:
  Each Fund pays out dividends and distributes its net capital gains, if any, to shareholders at least annually. The abrdn Focused U.S. Small Cap Active ETF expects to declare and distribute its net investment income, if any, to shareholders as dividends annually. The abrdn Emerging Markets Dividend Active ETF expects to declare and distribute its net investment income, if any, to shareholders as dividends quarterly. Each Fund also intends to distribute its net realized capital gains, if any, to shareholders annually. Dividends and other distributions may be declared and paid more frequently to improve index tracking, to comply with the distribution requirements of Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), or to avoid a federal excise tax imposed on regulated investment companies (“RICs”). Distributions in cash may be reinvested automatically in additional whole Shares only if the broker through whom you purchased Shares makes such option available.
g. 
Federal Income Taxes:
  Each Fund intends to continue to qualify as a “regulated investment company” by complying with the provisions available to certain investment companies, as defined in Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the"Code"), and to make distributions of net investment income and net realized capital gains sufficient to relieve the Funds from all federal income taxes. Therefore, no federal income tax provision is required. Management of the Funds has concluded that there are no significant uncertain tax positions that would require recognition in the financial statements. Since tax authorities can examine previously filed tax returns, the Funds' U.S. federal and state tax returns for each of the most recent four fiscal years up to the most recent fiscal year ended October 31, 2024 are subject to such review.
  Each Fund recognizes interest and penalties related to tax items, including uncertain tax positions, within interest expense and other expenses respectively. No interest expense or penalties related to taxation have been recognized as of and for the six-month period ended April 30, 2025.
h. 
Foreign Withholding Tax:
  Dividend and interest income from non-U.S. sources received by the Fund are generally subject to non-U.S. withholding taxes and are recorded on the Statement of Operations. The Funds file for tax reclaims for the refund of such withholdings taxes according to tax treaties. Tax reclaims that are deemed collectible are booked as tax reclaim receivable on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Foreign tax authorities can examine previously filed withholding tax reclaims for various periods of time, depending on the statute of limitations in each foreign jurisdiction. In some cases, amounts that have been refunded by foreign tax authorities and received by the Funds are still subject to such review.
  In addition, when the Funds sell securities within certain countries in which they invest, the capital gains realized may be subject to tax. Based on these market requirements and as required under U.S. GAAP, the Funds accrue deferred capital gains tax on securities currently held that have unrealized appreciation within these countries. The amount of deferred capital gains tax accrued is reported on the Statement of Operations as part of the Net Change in Unrealized Appreciation/Depreciation on Investments.

  Emerging Markets Dividend Active ETF
  Consistent with U.S. GAAP accrual requirements, for uncertain tax positions, the Fund recognizes Article 63 EU Tax Reclaims when it is more likely than not that the Fund will sustain its position that it is due.
  As of April 30, 2025, the Fund has remaining Article 63 EU Tax Reclaims, primarily related to Germany and Spain. Certain of the outstanding Article 63 EU Tax Reclaims related to Germany and Spain are not deemed to meet the recognition criteria under U.S. GAAP as of April 30, 2025, and has not been recorded in the Fund’s respective net asset value. As of April 30, 2025, the total amount of outstanding reclaims (before the impact of interest, tax or additional costs incurred in the pursuit of such reclaims) filed with Germany and Spain represents approximately $2,797,232. The amount net of estimated taxes represent $1,608,408. Recognition of these amounts would have a positive impact on the Fund's performance.
  The receipt of Article 63 EU reclaims from these jurisdictions also results in a tax liability to the shareholders to offset the tax benefits that shareholders received in the past. Such amounts are estimated based on a closing agreement template created by the IRS, which is applicable to all industry participants, in relation to the remittance by a fund of taxes due by its shareholders and paid on their behalf by the fund. The Fund accrues this tax liability which each intends to settle on behalf of the shareholders in accordance with U.S. GAAP.
  As of April 30, 2025, an estimated tax amount has been accrued of $362,771 related to the reclaims received from France. This amount is reflected as Payable to IRS on behalf of shareholders related to Article 63 EU Tax reclaims on the accompanying Statements of Assets and Liabilities.
i. 
Securities Lending:
  Through an agreement with Securities Finance Trust Company as the Lending Agent and State Street Bank and Trust Company (the Funds’ custodian) ("State Street"), the Funds may lend their portfolio securities to brokers, dealers and other financial institutions that pay a negotiated fee in order to generate additional income. The Funds receive non-cash collateral in the form of U.S. Government Securities, with respect to each loan of U.S. securities, typically equal to at least 102% of the value of the portfolio securities loaned, and, with respect to each loan of non-U.S. securities, typically equal to at least 105% of the value of the portfolio securities loaned, and at all times thereafter require the borrower to mark to market such collateral on a daily basis so that the fair value of such collateral does not fall below 100% of the fair value of the portfolio securities so loaned.
  Income generated from securities lending includes the difference between (i) the sum of income received from the investment of collateral received from the borrowers that are counterparties to loans, loan fees received from loans, and fees paid by borrower on loans collateralized with collateral other than cash collateral; and ii) any rebate paid to a borrower, and any other allocable fees and expenses in connection with loans of securities. All income is accrued daily and is apportioned 90% to the Funds and 10% to the Lending Agent.
  The Funds continue to own the loaned securities and continue to recognize unrealized gains and losses on the securities on loan. However, securities lending involves certain risks including the event of default or insolvency of the borrower and possible delays or restrictions upon a Fund’s ability to recover the loaned securities or dispose of the collateral for the loan. Securities on loan are noted within the Statement of Investments. Non-cash securities lending collateral held by the Lending Agent on behalf of the Funds cannot be sold or repledged by the Funds and, therefore, this amount is not presented on the Funds’ Statements of Investments.
  For the six-month period ended April 30, 2025, no lending activity took place.
3.  Custodian and Transfer Agent
State Street Bank and Trust Company ("State Street") serves as Custodian for the Funds pursuant to a custodian agreement ("Custodian Agreement") dated December 29, 2020, as amended from time to time. As Custodian, State Street holds each Fund’s assets, calculates the net asset value of the shares and calculates net income and realized capital gains or losses. State Street serves as Transfer Agent of each Fund pursuant to a transfer agency and service agreement ("Transfer Agency and Service Agreement") dated December 29, 2020, as amended from time to time. As Transfer Agent, State Street maintains the records of each Authorized Participant’s ownership of each Fund and processes the purchases and redemptions of Creation Units.

Reimbursements, if any, are settled with the Adviser monthly. Aberdeen may request and receive reimbursement from a Fund of the advisory fees waived and other expenses reimbursed pursuant to the Expense Limitation Agreements as of a date not more than three years after the date when the Adviser limited the fees or reimbursed the expenses; provided that the following requirements are met: the reimbursements do not cause a class to exceed the lesser of the applicable expense limitation in the contract at the time the fees were limited or expenses are paid or the applicable expense limitation in effect at the time the expenses are being recouped by the Adviser, and the payment of such reimbursement is approved by the Board on a quarterly basis (the “Reimbursement Requirements”). Except as provided for in the Expense Limitation Agreements, reimbursement of amounts previously waived or assumed by abrdn is not permitted.
As of April 30, 2025, to the extent the Reimbursement Requirements are met, the cumulative potential reimbursements to Aberdeen for each Fund, based on expenses reimbursed by Aberdeen, including adjustments described above, would be:

During the period, the Predecessor Fund of the abrdn Focused U.S.Small Cap Active ETF effected a 1-for-3 reverse stock split. The effect of this reverse stock split was to reduce the number of shares outstanding in the Fund, while maintaining the Fund's and each stockholder's aggregate net asset value.
A transaction fee, as set forth in the table below, is imposed for the transfer and other transaction costs associated with the purchase or redemption of Creation Units, as applicable. Authorized Participants will be required to pay a fixed creation transaction fee and/or a fixed redemption transaction fee, as applicable, on a given day regardless of the number of Creation Units created or redeemed on that day. Each Fund may adjust the transaction fee from time to time, and a Fund may waive all or a portion of its applicable transaction fee(s). An additional charge or a variable charge (discussed below) will be applied to certain creation and redemption transactions, including non-standard orders and whole or partial cash purchases or redemptions. With respect to creation orders, Authorized Participants are responsible for the costs of transferring the securities constituting the Deposit Securities to the account of the applicable Fund and with respect to redemption orders, Authorized Participants are responsible for the costs of transferring the applicable Fund Securities from the Trust to their account or on their order. Investors who use the services of a broker or other such intermediary may also be charged a fee for such services. To the extent a Fund cannot recoup the amount of transaction costs incurred in connection with a purchase or redemption because of the 2% transaction fee cap or otherwise, those transaction costs will be borne by the Fund and negatively affect the Fund’s performance. Currently, the Funds only accept cash for the purchase or redemption of Creation Units.

8.  Portfolio Investment Risks
a. 
Active Management Risk
  Each Fund is subject to the risk that the Adviser or Subadviser (as applicable) may make poor security selections. The Adviser, Subadviser and their portfolio managers apply their own investment techniques and risk analyses in making investment decisions for a Fund and there can be no guarantee that these decisions will achieve the desired results for a Fund. In addition, the Adviser or Subadviser may select securities that underperform the relevant market or other funds with similar investment objectives and strategies.
b. 
Authorized Participants Risk
  Only an authorized participant that has entered into an agreement with a Fund’s distributor (an “Authorized Participant” or “AP”) may engage in creation or redemption transactions directly with the Fund, and none of those APs is obligated to engage in creation and/or redemption transactions. The Funds have entered into AP agreements with only a limited number of institutions. Should these APs cease to act as such or for any reason be unable to create or redeem Shares and new APs not appointed in their place, Shares may trade at a discount to that Fund’s NAV and possibly face trading halts or delisting.

c. 
Cash Transactions Risk
  Unlike certain ETFs, the abrdn Emerging Markets Dividend Active ETF may effect its creations and redemptions in cash or partially in cash. As a result, an investment in the Fund may be less tax-efficient than an investment in such ETFs. Other ETFs generally are able to make in-kind redemptions and avoid realizing gains in connection with transactions designed to raise cash to meet redemption requests. If the Fund effects a portion of redemptions for cash, it may be required to sell portfolio securities in order to obtain the cash needed to distribute redemption proceeds, which also involves transaction costs. If the Fund recognizes gain on these sales, this generally will cause the Fund to recognize gain it might not otherwise have recognized if it were to distribute portfolio securities in-kind, or to recognize such gain sooner than would otherwise be required. The Fund generally intends to distribute these gains to shareholders to avoid being taxed on this gain at the Fund level and otherwise comply with the special tax rules that apply to it. This strategy may cause shareholders to be subject to tax on gains they would not otherwise be subject to, or at an earlier date than, if they had made an investment in a different ETF.
d. 
Cybersecurity Risk
  Cybersecurity incidents may allow an unauthorized party to gain access to Fund assets, customer data (including private shareholder information), or proprietary information, or cause each Fund, the Adviser and/or their service providers (including, but not limited to, Fund accountants, custodians, sub-custodians, transfer agents and financial intermediaries) to suffer data breaches, data corruption or lose operational functionality.
e. 
Depositary Receipts Risk
  Investments in depositary receipts may entail the special risks of investing in foreign securities, including currency exchange fluctuations, government regulations, and the potential for political and economic instability.
f. 
Dividend Strategy Risk
  There is no guarantee that the issuers of the securities held by the abrdn Emerging Markets Dividend Active ETF will declare dividends in the future or that, if dividends are declared, they will remain at their current levels or increase over time. The Fund’s emphasis on dividend-paying stocks could cause the Fund to underperform similar funds that invest without consideration of a company’s track record of paying dividends or ability to pay dividends in the future. Dividend-paying stocks may not participate in a broad market advance to the same degree as other stocks, and a sharp rise in interest rates or an economic downturn could cause a company to unexpectedly reduce or eliminate its dividend. A Fund may hold securities for short periods of time related to the dividend payment periods for those securities and may experience loss during these periods. There is the possibility that the anticipated acceleration of dividend could not occur.
g. 
Emerging Markets Risk
  Emerging markets are countries generally considered to be relatively less developed or industrialized, and investments in emerging markets countries are subject to a magnification of the risks that apply to foreign investments. These risks are greater for securities of companies in emerging markets countries because of illiquidity, increased price volatility, smaller market capitalizations, less government regulation, less extensive and less frequent accounting, financial and other reporting requirements, loss resulting from problems in share registration and custody, substantial economic and political disruptions and the nationalization of foreign deposits or assets (see “Foreign Securities Risk” below).
  China Risk. Exposure to China and Hong Kong securities subjects the China A Shares Equity Fund to additional risks, and may make it significantly more volatile than more geographically diverse mutual funds. Additional risks associated with investments in China and Hong Kong include exposure to currency fluctuations, less liquidity, expropriation, confiscatory taxation, nationalization, exchange control regulations (including currency blockage), trading halts, imposition of tariffs, limitations on repatriation and differing legal standards. Any spread of an infectious illness, public health threat or similar issue could reduce consumer demand or economic output, result in market closures, travel restrictions or quarantines, and generally have a significant impact on the Chinese economy, which in turn could adversely affect the Fund’s investments.
  China A Shares Risk. Trading in China A Shares through Stock Connect and the QFII Programs involves additional risks. Stock Connect is subject to a daily quota (the “Daily Quota”), which limits the maximum net purchases under Stock Connect each day and, as such, buy orders for China A Shares would be rejected once the Daily Quota is exceeded (although the Fund will be permitted to sell China A Shares regardless of the Daily Quota balance). Further, Stock Connect, which relies on the connectivity of the Shanghai or Shenzhen markets with Hong Kong, is subject to operational risk, regulations that are relatively untested and are subject to change, and extended market closures for holidays or otherwise. During an extended market closure, the Fund’s ability to trade in China A Shares will be impacted which may affect the Fund’s

  performance. The QFII Programs are subject to the risk that the Adviser may have its QFII Programs license revoked or restricted with respect to the Fund or the Fund may be impacted by the rules, restrictions and quota limitations connected to reliance on a QFII Programs license.
  India Risk. The value of a Fund’s assets may be adversely affected by political, economic, social and religious factors, changes in Indian law or regulations and the status of India’s relations with other countries. In addition, the economy of India may differ favorably or unfavorably from the U.S. economy in such respects as the rate of growth of gross domestic product, the rate of inflation, capital reinvestment, resource self-sufficiency and balance of payments position. The Indian government has exercised and continues to exercise significant influence over many aspects of the economy, and the number of public sector enterprises in India is substantial. Accordingly, Indian government actions in the future could have a significant effect on the Indian economy, which could affect private sector companies and a Fund, market conditions, and prices and yields of securities in a Fund’s portfolio. Economic growth in India is constrained by inadequate infrastructure, a cumbersome bureaucracy, corruption, labor market rigidities, regulatory and foreign investment controls, the “reservation” of key products for small-scale industries and high fiscal deficits. Changes in economic policies, or lack of movement toward economic liberalization, could negatively affect the general business and economic conditions in India, which could in turn affect a Fund’s investments. The securities market in India is substantially smaller, less liquid and significantly more volatile than the securities market in the United States. The relatively small market capitalizations of, and trading values on, Indian stock exchanges may cause a Fund’s investments in securities listed on these exchanges to be comparatively less liquid and subject to greater price volatility than comparable U.S. investments.
  Shanghai-Hong Kong and Shenzhen-Hong Kong Stock Connect Risk. Investing in China A shares through Stock Connect involves various considerations and risks, including, but not limited to, illiquidity risk; currency risk; greater price volatility; legal and regulatory uncertainty risk; execution risk; operational risk; tax risk; credit risk; and economic, social and political instability of the stock market in the People’s Republic of China.
  Taiwan Risk. Including risks associated with investing in emerging markets, a Fund’s investment in or exposure to Taiwan is also subject to risks associated with, among other things, currency fluctuations, commodity shortages, less liquidity, expropriation, confiscatory taxation, nationalization and exchange control regulations (including currency blockage). Inflation and rapid fluctuations in inflation and interest rates have had, and may continue to have, negative effects on the economy and securities markets of Taiwan. In addition, investments in Taiwan could be adversely affected by political and economic relationship with China.
h. 
ESG Integration Risk
  To the extent ESG (Environmental, Social and Governance) factors are used to evaluate investments, the consideration of such factors may adversely affect a Fund’s performance. Not every ESG factor may be identified or evaluated for every investment. ESG characteristics are not the only factors considered and, as a result, the issuers in which a Fund invests may not be issuers with favorable ESG characteristics or high ESG ratings. The application of ESG factors may result in a Fund performing differently than its benchmark index and other funds in its peer group that do not consider ESG factors or consider different ESG factors.
i. 
Equity Securities Risk
  The stock or other security of a company may not perform as well as expected, and may decrease in value, because of factors related to the company (such as poorer than expected earnings or certain management decisions), to the industry in which the company is engaged (such as a reduction in the demand for products or services in a particular industry), or to the market as a whole (such as periods of market volatility or instability, or general and prolonged periods of economic decline).
j. 
Focus Risk
  The Focused U.S. Small Cap Active ETF invests a greater proportion of its assets in the securities of a smaller number of issuers and will be subject to greater volatility with respect to its investments than funds that invest in a larger number of securities.
k. 
Foreign Currency Exposure Risk
  The value of foreign currencies relative to the U.S. Dollar fluctuates in response to market, economic, political, regulatory, geopolitical or other conditions. A decline in the value of a foreign currency versus the U.S. Dollar reduces the value in U.S. Dollars of investments denominated in that foreign currency. This risk may impact a Fund more greatly to the extent the Fund does not hedge its currency risk, or hedging techniques used by the Adviser are unsuccessful.
l. 
Foreign Securities Risk
  Foreign countries in which a Fund may invest may have markets that are less liquid, less regulated and more volatile than U.S. markets. The value of a Fund’s investments may decline because of factors such as unfavorable or unsuccessful government actions, reduction of
2025 Semi-Annual Report 21

  government or central bank support and political or financial instability. To the extent the Fund focuses its investments in a single country or only a few countries in a particular geographic region, economic, political, regulatory or other conditions affecting such country or region may have a greater impact on Fund performance relative to a more geographically diversified fund.
m. 
Frontier Markets Risk
  Frontier markets involve the same risks as emerging markets, but to a greater extent since they tend to be even smaller, less developed, and less accessible than other emerging markets.
n. 
Issuer Risk
  The value of a security may decline for reasons directly related to the issuer, such as management performance, financial leverage and reduced demand for the issuer's goods or services.
o. 
Liquidity Risk
  A Fund may make investments that are, or may become, less liquid due to various factors, including general market conditions or conditions impacting the issuer of, or counterparty to, the investment. These investments may be more difficult to value or sell, particularly in times of market turmoil, and there may be fewer trading opportunities available for the investments. Less liquid investments may have higher risks than more liquid investments. These risks may be magnified as interest rates rise or in other circumstances. If a Fund is forced to sell a less liquid investment to fund redemptions or to raise cash, it may be forced to sell the investment at a loss or for less than its fair value. Generally, only APs may redeem Shares. Investors other than APs wishing to realize their Shares will generally need to rely on secondary trading in the public trading market. There can be no assurance as to the price at which, or volume in which, it may at any time be possible to realize Shares in the public trading market. Although the Shares are listed for trading on Nasdaq, there can be no assurance that an active trading market for such shares will develop or be maintained.
p. 
Market Risk
  As with all ETFs, Shares may be bought and sold in the secondary market at market prices. Although it is expected that the market price of the Shares will approximate the Fund’s NAV when purchased and sold in the secondary market, there may be times when the market price of the Shares is more than the NAV intra-day (premium) or less than the NAV intra-day (discount). This risk is heightened in times of market volatility or periods of steep market declines. The market price of a Fund’s shares on an exchange during the trading day, like the price of any exchange-traded security, includes a “bid/ask” spread charged by the exchange specialist, market makers or other participants that trade the Fund’s shares. In times of severe market disruption, the bid/ask spread can increase significantly. At those times, Shares are most likely to be traded at a discount to NAV, and the discount is likely to be greatest when the price of Shares is falling fastest, which may be the time that you most want to sell your Shares. The Adviser believes that, under normal market conditions, large market price discounts or premiums to NAV will not be sustained because of arbitrage opportunities. Where all or a portion of underlying ETF securities trade in a market that is closed when the market in which the ETF’s shares are listed and trading is open, there may be changes between the last quote from the closed foreign market and the value of such security during the ETF’s domestic trading day. This in turn could lead to differences between the market price of the ETF shares and the underlying value of those shares.
  An ETF has a limited number of intermediaries that act as Authorized Participants, and none of these Authorized Participants are or will be obligated to engage in creation or redemption transactions. To the extent that these intermediaries exit the business or are unable to or choose not to proceed with creation and/or redemption orders with respect to the Fund and no other Authorized Participant is able and willing to create or redeem, Shares may trade at a discount to NAV and possibly face trading halts and/or delisting. Additionally, while Fund Shares are listed for trading on an exchange, there can be no assurance that active trading markets for Fund Shares will be maintained by market makers or Authorized Participants.
  Decisions by market makers or Authorized Participants to reduce their role or “step away” from these activities in times of market stress may inhibit the effectiveness of the creation/redemption process in maintaining the relationship between the underlying value of the Fund’s holdings and the Fund’s NAV. Such reduced effectiveness could result in the Fund’s Shares trading at a discount to its NAV and also in greater than normal intraday bid/ask spreads for the Fund’s Shares.
q. 
Market Trading Risk
  There can be no assurance as to the price at which, or volume in which, it may at any time be possible to buy or sell Shares inthe public trading market. Although the Shares are listed for trading on Nasdaq, there can be no assurance that an active trading market for such Shares will develop or be maintained. Although it is expected that the market price of the Shares will approximate the Fund’s NAV when purchased

  and sold in the secondary market, the Fund faces numerous market trading risks, including the potential lack of an active market for Shares, disruptions in the securities markets in which the Fund invests, periods of high market volatility and disruptions in the creation/redemption process. Any of these may lead to times when the market price of the Shares is more than the NAV intra-day (premium) or less than the NAV intra-day (discount).
r. 
Mid-Cap Securities Risk
  Securities of medium-sized companies tend to be more volatile and less liquid than securities of larger companies. Decisions by market makers or Authorized Participants to reduce their role or “step away” from these activities in times of market stress may inhibit the effectiveness of the creation/redemption process in maintaining the relationship between the underlying value of the Fund’s holdings and the Fund’s NAV. Such reduced effectiveness could result in the Fund’s Shares trading at a discount to its NAV and also in greater than normal intraday bid/ask spreads for the Fund’s Shares.
s. 
Other Investment Companies Risk
  Investments in securities of other investment companies, including ETFs, are generally subject to limitations prescribed by the 1940 Act and its rules, and applicable SEC staff interpretations or applicable exemptive relief granted by the SEC. Such investments subject a Fund to the risks that apply to the other investment company, including market and selection risk, and may increase a Fund’s expenses to the extent the Fund pays fees, including investment advisory and administrative fees, charged by the other investment company. The success of a Fund’s investment in these securities is directly related, in part, to the ability of the other investment companies to meet their investment objective.
t. 
Preferred Shares Risk
  Preferred shares in which a Fund may invest represent equity or ownership interests in issuers that pay dividends at a specified rate and have precedence over common shares in the payment of dividends. In the event an issuer is liquidated or declares bankruptcy, the claims of owners of bonds take precedence over the claims of those who own preferred shares. If interest rates rise, the fixed dividend on preferred shares may be less attractive, causing the price of preferred shares to decline. Preferred shares may have mandatory sinking fund provisions, as well as provisions allowing the shares to be called or redeemed prior to its maturity, which can have a negative impact on the share’s price when interest rates decline.
u. 
REIT and Real Estate Risk
  Investment in real estate investment trusts ("REITs") and real estate involves the risks that are associated with direct ownership of real estate and with the real estate industry in general. These risks include: declines in the value of real estate; risks related to local economic conditions, overbuilding and increased competition; increases in property taxes and operating expenses; changes in zoning laws; casualty or condemnation losses; variations in rental income, neighborhood values or the appeal of properties to tenants; changes in interest rates and changes in general economic and market conditions. REITs’ share prices may decline because of adverse developments affecting the real estate industry including changes in interest rates. The returns from REITs may trail returns from the overall market. Additionally, there is always a risk that a given REIT will fail to qualify for favorable tax treatment. REITs may be leveraged, which increases risk. Certain REITs charge management fees, which may result in layering the management fee paid by the Fund.
v. 
Sector Risk
  To the extent that a Fund has a significant portion of its assets invested in securities of companies conducting business in a broadly related group of industries within an economic sector, the Fund may be more vulnerable to unfavorable developments in that economic sector than funds that invest more broadly.
  Financials Sector Risk. To the extent that the financials sector represents a significant portion of a Fund, the Fund will be sensitive to changes in, and its performance may depend to a greater extent on, factors impacting this sector. Performance of companies in the financials sector may be adversely impacted by many factors, including, among others, government regulations, economic conditions, credit rating downgrades, changes in interest rates, decreased liquidity in credit markets as well as cyber-attacks.
  Information Technology Sector Risk. To the extent that the information technology sector represents a significant portion of a Fund, the Fund will be sensitive to changes in, and its performance may depend to a greater extent on, factors impacting this sector. Information technology companies face intense competition, both domestically and internationally, which may have an adverse effect on their profit margins. Like other technology companies, information technology companies may have limited product lines, markets, financial resources or personnel. The products of information technology companies may face obsolescence due to rapid technological developments, frequent new product introduction, unpredictable changes in growth rates and competition for the services of qualified personnel. Companies in the information

  technology sector are heavily dependent on patent and intellectual property rights. The loss or impairment of these rights may adversely affect the profitability of these companies.
w. 
Small-Cap Securities Risk
  In general, securities of small-cap companies trade in lower volumes and are subject to greater or more unpredictable price changes than larger cap securities or the market overall. Small-cap companies may have limited product lines or markets, be less financially secure than larger companies, or depend on a small number of key personnel. If adverse developments occur, such as due to management changes or product failure, a Fund’s investment in a small-cap company may lose substantial value. Investing in small-cap companies requires a longer-term investment view and may not be appropriate for all investors. These risks may be exacerbated for micro-cap securities.
x. 
Temporary Defensive Positions
  Generally, each Fund will be fully invested in accordance with its investment objective and strategies; however, pending investment of cash balances or for other cash management purposes or if a Fund’s management believes that business, economic, political or financial conditions warrant, a Fund may invest without limit in cash, cash equivalents or other short-term obligations, including:
short-term U.S. Government securities;
certificates of deposit, bankers’ acceptances, and interest-bearing savings deposits of commercial banks;
prime quality commercial paper;
repurchase agreements covering any of the securities in which the Fund may invest directly; and
shares of money market funds.
The use of temporary defensive positions prevents a Fund from fully pursuing its investment objective, and the Fund may miss potential market upswings. In addition, pending investment of cash balances or for other cash management purposes, a Fund may invest without limit in other instruments, including but not limited to, derivatives that provide exposure to markets or companies in which the Fund may invest and in shares of other investment companies that invest in securities.
y. 
Trading Risk
  Although Shares are listed for trading on Nasdaq (the “Listing Exchange”) and may be listed or traded on U.S. and non-U.S. stock exchanges other than the Listing Exchange, there can be no assurance that an active trading market for such shares will develop or be maintained. Trading in shares may be halted due to market conditions or for reasons that, in the view of the Listing Exchange, make trading in shares inadvisable. In addition, trading in shares on the Listing Exchange is subject to trading halts caused by extraordinary market volatility pursuant to Listing Exchange “circuit breaker” rules. There can be no assurance that the requirements of the Listing Exchange necessary to maintain the listing of a Fund will continue to be met or will remain unchanged or that Shares will trade with any volume, or at all, on any stock exchange.
z. 
Valuation Risk
  The price that a Fund could receive upon the sale of any particular portfolio investment may differ from the Fund’s valuation of the investment, particularly for securities that trade in thin or volatile markets or that are valued using a fair valuation methodology or a price provided by an independent pricing service. As a result, the price received upon the sale of an investment may be less than the value ascribed by a Fund, and the Fund could realize a greater than expected loss or lesser than expected gain upon the sale of the investment. The ability to value a Fund's investments may also be impacted by technological issues and/or errors by pricing services or other third-party service providers.
  Please read the Funds' prospectuses for more detailed information regarding these and other risks.
9.  Contingencies
In the normal course of business, the Funds may provide general indemnifications pursuant to certain contracts and organizational documents. The Funds' maximum exposure under these arrangements is dependent on future claims that may be made against the Funds, and therefore, cannot be estimated; however, the Funds expect the risk of loss from such claims to be remote.

11.  Line of Credit
The Trust, on behalf of each of the funds of the Trust (excluding the abrdn Emerging Markets Dividend Active ETF and abrdn Focused U.S. Small Cap Active ETF) (the “Borrowers”), has entered into an agreement (the “Agreement”) with State Street Bank and Trust Company (the “Bank”), subject to annual renewal. The Agreement provides for a revolving credit facility (the“Credit Facility”) in the amount of $150,000,000 to be utilized for temporary or emergency purposes to fund shareholder redemptions or other short-term liquidity purposes.
Principal on each outstanding loan made under the Agreement bears interest at a variable rate per annum equal to (a) 10 basis points + (b) the higher of (i) the Federal Funds Rate on such date (not less than zero) plus one and one quarter of one percent (1.25%) or (ii) the Overnight Bank Funding Rate on such date plus one and one quarter of one percent (1.25%). In addition, the Borrowers shall pay to the Bank a commitment fee at the rate of 0.25% per annum on the daily unused portion of the Credit Facility, as applicable, which is allocated among the Borrowers in such manner as is determined by the Board to be reasonable. For each Fund that borrowed under the Credit Facility during the six-month period period ended April 30, 2025, the following table shows the average outstanding daily balance of the days the abrdn Emerging Markets Dividend Fund and abrdn Focused U.S. Small Cap Equity Fund utilized the Credit Facility and the average weighted interest rate paid by each Predecessor Fund during the six-month period ended April 30, 2025.

12.  Segment Reporting
In this reporting period, the Funds adopted FASB Accounting Standards Update 2023-07, Segment Reporting (Topic 280) - Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures. Adoption of the new standard impacted disclosures only and did not affect the Fund’s financial position nor the results of its operations. Operating segments are components of a public entity that engage in business activities from which it may recognize revenues and incur expenses, have discrete financial information available, and have their operating results regularly reviewed by the public entity’s chief operating decision maker (“CODM”) when assessing segment performance and making decisions about segment resources. The Chief Financial Officer of the Funds act as the Fund’s CODM. The CODM monitors the operating results of the Funds as a whole, and the Fund’s asset allocation is managed in accordance with its Prospectus. The Funds operate as a single operating and reporting segment pursuant to its investment objective and principal investment strategy. The Fund’s portfolio composition, total returns, expense ratios and changes in net assets used by the CODM to assess segment performance and make resource allocations are consistent with the information presented within the Fund's financial statements. Segment assets are reflected on the Fund’s Statement of Assets and Liabilities as “Total Assets” and significant segment expenses are listed on the Statement of Operations.
13.  Subsequent Events
Management has evaluated the need for disclosures and/or adjustments resulting from subsequent events through the date the financial statements were issued. Based on this evaluation, no disclosures and/or adjustments were required to the financial statements as of April 30, 2025.

Statement Regarding Basis of Approval for Investment Advisory Contract 

Board of Trustees’ Consideration of Advisory and Sub-Advisory Agreements
The Board of Trustees (the “Board,” the members of which are referred to as “Trustees”) of abrdn Funds (the “Trust”) met at an in-person meeting on September 11, 2024 (the “Meeting”) to consider the approval of:  (i) the Investment Advisory Agreement between the Trust, on behalf of the abrdn Emerging Markets Dividend Active ETF (the “EM Active ETF”) and the abrdn Focused U.S. Small Cap Active ETF (the “US Active ETF,” together with the EM Active ETF, the “Funds,” and each a “Fund”) and abrdn Inc. (the “Adviser”) (the “Investment Advisory Agreement”); and (ii) the Sub-Advisory Agreement between the Adviser, abrdn Investments Limited (the “Sub-Adviser”) and the Trust with respect to the EM Active ETF (the “Sub-Advisory Agreement” and, together with the Investment Advisory Agreement, the “Advisory Agreements”). The Adviser and the Sub-Adviser are referred to collectively herein as the “Advisers,” as applicable. In addition, the Trustees who are not “interested persons” as defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”) (the “Independent Trustees”) held a separate executive session with their independent counsel at the Meeting to review the materials provided and the relevant legal considerations. 
In accordance with Section 15(c) of the 1940 Act, the Board requested, reviewed and considered materials furnished by the Adviser and the Sub-Adviser relevant to the Board’s consideration of whether to approve the Investment Advisory Agreement and the Sub-Advisory Agreement. These materials provided to the Board included, among other items: (i) memoranda and materials provided by the Adviser, describing the services to be provided to the Funds by the Adviser and the Sub-Adviser; (ii) information about the expected profitability of the Advisory Agreements to the Advisers; and (iii) a memorandum from independent trustee counsel on the responsibilities of the Board in considering for approval the Advisory Agreements under the 1940 Act and Delaware law. The Board, including the Independent Trustees, also considered other matters such as (i) the Advisers’ financial condition; (ii) the performance of the abrdn Emerging Markets Dividend Fund (the “EM Mutual Fund”) and the abrdn Focused U.S. Small Cap Equity Fund (the “US Mutual Fund” and, together with the EM Mutual Fund, the “Predecessor Funds”), two series of the Trust advised by the Advisers that would be converted into the Funds, as compared to a peer group of comparable funds; (iii) the Funds’ investment objective and strategies; (iv) the Advisers’ investment personnel and operations; (v) arrangements relating to the distribution of the Funds’ shares and related costs; (vi) the proposed allocation of the Funds’ brokerage, if any, including, if applicable, allocations to brokers affiliated with the Advisers and the use, if any, of “soft dollars” to pay Fund expenses and to pay for research and other similar services; (vii) the resources devoted to, and the record of compliance by, other funds of the Trust, including the Predecessor Funds, with the investment policies and restrictions, policies on personal securities transactions and other compliance policies; (viii) any “fall-out” benefits to the Advisers and their affiliates  (i.e., ancillary benefits realized by the Advisers and their affiliates from the Advisers’ relationship with the Trust); and (ix) possible conflicts of interest on the part of the Advisers or their affiliates.  The Board also considered the nature, extent and quality of the services to be provided to the Funds by the Advisers’ affiliates.  Throughout the process, the Trustees were afforded the opportunity to ask questions of and request additional materials from the Advisers. The Trustees noted that they had received material in relation to their approval of the investment advisory arrangements with respect to the Predecessor Funds at their June 2024 quarterly meeting, that the investment strategies and techniques of each Fund would remain the same as those of the respective Predecessor Fund, and that the portfolio management teams and support personnel of the Predecessor Funds would continue to service the Funds following the conversion.
At the Meeting, the Board, including the Independent Trustees, unanimously approved the Investment Advisory Agreement between the Funds and the Adviser for an initial two-year period and the Sub-Advisory Agreement among the Trust, Adviser and Sub-Adviser with respect to the EM Active ETF for an initial two-year period. The Board considered all factors it believed to be relevant with respect to the Funds, including, among other factors: (a) the nature, extent and quality of services to be provided by the Advisers; (b) the investment performance of the Predecessor Funds, the Advisers and the Advisers’ portfolio management; (c) the advisory fees, if any, and the cost of the services and profits to be realized by the Adviser from the relationship with the Funds; (d) economies of scale; and (e) other factors. In considering whether to approve the Agreements, the Trustees, including the Independent Trustees, did not identify any single factor as determinative in reaching their decision.  Individual Trustees may have evaluated the information presented differently from one another, giving weight to various factors. The following is a summary of the Board’s discussion and views regarding the factors it considered in evaluating the Agreements:
The nature, extent and quality of the services to be provided to the Fund under the Agreements. The Trustees considered the nature, extent and quality of the services to be provided by the Adviser and the Sub-Adviser, as applicable, to the Funds and the resources that would be dedicated to the Funds by the Adviser and its affiliates. The Board considered, among other things, the Advisers’ investment experience and the management of the Predecessor Funds. The Board also considered the background and experience of the senior management personnel of the Adviser and the Sub-Adviser, and the qualifications, background and responsibilities of the portfolio managers to be primarily responsible for the day-to-day portfolio management services for the Funds. The Board also considered the allocation of responsibilities among the Advisers. The Trustees considered not only the advisory services to be provided by the Adviser and, as applicable, the Sub-Adviser to the Funds, but also the administrative services to be provided by the Adviser to the Funds under a separate administration agreement. The Adviser’s role in overseeing the Sub-Adviser in the management of the EM Active ETF and coordinating the activities of the Trust’s other service providers for the Funds was also considered. The Board also considered that it receives information on a regular basis from the Trust’s Chief Compliance Officer regarding the Funds’ compliance policies and procedures, and that it had received information from the Trust’s Chief Compliance Officer regarding the Sub-Adviser’s compliance policies and procedures. The Board also considered the Adviser’s risk management processes. The Board also took into account its knowledge of management and the quality of the performance of management’s duties through Board meetings, discussion and reports during the preceding year in connection with the other funds in the Trust, including the Predecessor Funds.

Statement Regarding Basis of Approval for Investment Advisory Contract  (concluded)

After reviewing these and related factors, the Board concluded that the nature, extent and quality of the services to be provided supported the approval of the Agreements.
Investment Performance and the Advisers’ Portfolio Management. Because the Funds is newly formed, the Board did not consider the investment performance of the Funds. The Board reviewed the performance of the Predecessor Funds, and noted that the performance had been sufficient to approve the continuation of the Advisory Agreements with respect to the Predecessor Funds.  The Board also based its review of Advisers’ performance on the experience of each Adviser and its affiliates in managing other registered investment companies and private funds, noting that other funds managed by the Advisers might have investment objectives, policies or restrictions different from those of the Funds. The Board also considered the experience, resources and strengths of the Advisers with respect to the investment strategies proposed for the Funds.  Based on these factors, the Trustees determined that the Advisers would be appropriate investment advisers for the Funds.
The costs of the services provided and profits to be realized by the Advisers and their affiliates from the relationships with the Funds. The Trustees considered the fees to be charged to each Fund for advisory services as well as the projected total expense levels of the Funds. This information included comparisons (provided both by management and also by an independent third party) of each Fund’s net management fee and total expense level to those of its expense peer group and information about the advisory fees charged by the Adviser and its affiliates to any separately managed accounts with a similar strategy, including the fees charged to the Predecessor Funds. In considering the fees charged to any comparable accounts, the Trustees considered, among other things, management’s discussion of the different objectives, policies or restrictions that may be involved in managing the different types of accounts. In evaluating the Funds’ advisory fees, the Trustees also took into account the demands, complexity and quality of the investment management proposed for the Funds.  The Trustees noted that the advisory fees to be charged to each Fund were equal to or lower than the fees of the respective Predecessor Fund.
The Board also considered that the Adviser had agreed to enter into an expense limitation agreement with each Fund, pursuant to which the Adviser agreed to reimburse certain expenses as a means of limiting the respective Fund’s total annual operating expenses for a period of time. The Trustees also noted that the Adviser had agreed to enter into an expense limitation agreement with respect to each Fund until at least February 28, 2027.
The Trustees also considered the compensation that would be directly or indirectly received by the Advisers and their affiliates from their relationships with the Funds. The Trustees reviewed information provided by the Adviser as to its expected profitability. The Trustees also considered information about the allocation of expenses used to calculate profitability. 
After reviewing these and related factors, including taking into account management’s discussion regarding Fund expenses, the Board concluded that the costs of the services to be provided by and the profits to be realized by the Advisers were reasonable and supported the approval of the Advisory Agreements.
Economies of Scale.  The Adviser provided the Board with information concerning the extent to which economies of scale would be realized as the Funds grew. The Adviser presented information to show that the fees were set at a level that is competitive relative to comparable funds of an anticipated size and complexity. The Trustees noted that the Funds do not have breakpoints, but that each Fund would be subject to an expense limitation.  The Board considered that the funds in the Aberdeen fund complex share some common resources and, as a result, an increase in the overall size of the complex could permit the Funds to incur lower expenses than they would otherwise as stand-alone entities. The Board also considered the Adviser’s overall operations and its efforts to expand the scale of, and further enhance the quality of, its operations.
Other Factors. The Board also took into account other ancillary or “fall out” benefits that the Advisers or their affiliates may derive from its relationship with the Funds, both tangible and intangible. 
After reviewing these and related factors, the Board concluded that the advisory fee and sub-advisory fee structures were reasonable and reflect economies of scale being shared between the Funds and the Adviser, and supported approval of the Advisory Agreement with respect to the Funds and the Sub-Advisory Agreement with respect to the EM Active ETF.
Based on their evaluation of all factors that they deemed to be material, including those factors described above, and assisted by the advice of independent counsel, the Trustees, including the Independent Trustees, concluded that the Agreements would be in the best interest of the Funds and their shareholders. Accordingly, the Board, and the Independent Trustees voting separately, approved the Agreements for an initial two-year period.
