NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
1. |
ORGANIZATION: |
The Advisors’ Inner Circle Fund II (the “Trust”) is organized as a Massachusetts business trust under an Amended and Restated Agreement and Declaration of Trust dated July 24, 1992. The Trust is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, as an open-end management investment company with twelve funds. The financial statements herein are those of the Champlain Small Company Fund (the “Small Company Fund”), Champlain Mid Cap Fund (the “Mid Cap Fund”), and Champlain Strategic Focus Fund (the “Strategic Focus Fund”) (each a “Fund” and collectively, the “Funds”). The investment objective of the Funds is capital appreciation. Each of the Champlain Funds is classified as a “diversified” investment company under the 1940 Act. The Small Company Fund invests in small companies with market capitalization of less than $2.5 billion, Mid Cap Fund invests primarily (at least 80% of its net assets) in medium-sized companies with market capitalization of less than $15 billion, and the Strategic Focus Fund primarily in securities of medium – to large-sized companies. The financial statements of the remaining funds within the Trust are presented separately. The assets of each Fund of the Trust are segregated, and a shareholder’s interest is limited to the fund in which shares are held. The Funds currently offer Advisor Shares and Institutional Shares. The Small Company Fund, Mid Cap Fund, and Strategic Focus Fund, commenced operations on August 31, 2016, January 3, 2011, and October 16, 2023, respectively.
Effective August 19, 2020, the Small Company Fund and the Mid Cap Fund changed their fiscal year end to December 31.
2. |
SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES: |
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”) and are presented in U.S. dollars which is the functional currency of the Funds. The Funds are an investment company and therefore applies the accounting and reporting guidance issued by the U.S. Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) in Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 946, Financial Services — Investment Companies. The following are significant accounting policies which are consistently followed in the preparation of the financial statements.
Use of Estimates — The preparation of financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amount of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of increases and decreases in net assets from operations during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates and such differences could be material.
Security Valuation — Securities listed on a securities exchange, market or automated quotation system for which quotations are readily available (except
20 |
THE ADVISORS’ INNER CIRCLE FUND II |
CHAMPLAIN FUNDS JUNE 30, 2024 (Unaudited) |
for securities traded on NASDAQ), including securities traded over the counter, are valued at the last quoted sale price on the primary exchange or market (foreign or domestic) on which they are traded, or, if there is no such reported sale, at the most recent quoted bid price. For securities traded on NASDAQ, the NASDAQ Official Closing Price will be used. Investment companies are valued at Net Asset Value.
Securities for which market prices are not “readily available” are valued in accordance with fair value procedures (the “Fair Value Procedures”) established by the Adviser and approved by the Trust’s Board of Trustees (the “Board”). Pursuant to Rule 2a-5 under the 1940 Act, the Board has designated Champlain Investment Partners, LLC (the “Adviser”) as the “valuation designee” to determine the fair value of securities and other instruments for which no readily available market quotations are available. The Fair Value Procedures are implemented through a Fair Value Committee (the “Committee”) of the Adviser.
Some of the more common reasons that may necessitate that a security be valued using fair value procedures include: the security’s trading has been halted or suspended; the security has been de-listed from a national exchange; the security’s primary trading market is temporarily closed at a time when under normal conditions it would be open; the security has not been traded for an extended period of time; the security’s primary pricing source is not able or willing to provide a price; or trading of the security is subject to local government imposed restrictions. When a security is valued in accordance with the fair value procedures, the Committee will determine the value after taking into consideration relevant information reasonably available to the Committee.
In accordance with the authoritative guidance on fair value measurements and disclosure under U.S. GAAP, the Funds disclose the fair value of their investments in a hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure the fair value. The objective of a fair value measurement is to determine the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date (an exit price). Accordingly, the fair value hierarchy gives the highest priority to quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3). The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are described below:
●Level 1 – Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical, unrestricted assets or liabilities that the Funds have the ability to access at the measurement date;
●Level 2 – Quoted prices which are not active, or inputs that are observable (either directly or indirectly) for substantially the full term of the asset or liability; and other significant observable inputs (includes quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment spreads, credit risk, referenced indices, quoted prices in inactive markets, adjusted quoted prices in active markets, etc.); and
21 |
THE ADVISORS’ INNER CIRCLE FUND II |
CHAMPLAIN FUNDS JUNE 30, 2024 (Unaudited) |
●Level 3 – Prices, inputs or exotic modeling techniques which are both significant to the fair value measurement and unobservable (supported by little or no market activity).
Investments are classified within the level of the lowest significant input considered in determining fair value. Investments classified within Level 3 whose fair value measurement considers several inputs may include Level 1 or Level 2 inputs as components of the overall fair value measurement.
For details of investment classifications, reference the Schedules of Investments. The inputs or methodology used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities.
Federal Income Taxes — It is each Fund’s intention to continue to qualify as a regulated investment company under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code and to distribute all of their taxable income. Accordingly, no provision for Federal income taxes has been made in the financial statements.
The Funds evaluate tax positions taken or expected to be taken in the course of preparing the Funds’ tax returns to determine whether it is “more-likely-than-not” (i.e., greater than 50-percent) that each tax position will be sustained upon examination by a taxing authority based on the technical merits of the position. Tax positions not deemed to meet the more-likely-than-not threshold are recorded as a tax benefit or expense in the current year. The Funds did not record any tax provision in the current period. However, management’s conclusions regarding tax positions taken may be subject to review and adjustment at a later date based on factors including, but not limited to, examination by tax authorities (i.e., the last 3 tax year ends, as applicable), on-going analysis of and changes to tax laws, regulations and interpretations thereof.
As of and during the six months ended June 30, 2024, the Funds did not have liabilities for any unrecognized tax benefits. The Funds recognize interest and penalties, if any, related to unrecognized tax benefits as income tax expense on the Statements of Operations. During the six months ended June 30, 2024, the Funds did not incur any interest or penalties.
Withholding taxes on foreign dividends have been provided for in accordance with the Funds’ understanding of the applicable country’s tax rules and rates. Each Fund or its agent files withholding tax reclaims in certain jurisdictions to recover certain amounts previously withheld. The Funds may record a reclaim receivable based on collectability, which includes factors such as the jurisdiction’s applicable laws, payment history and market convention. Professional fees paid to those that provide assistance in receiving the tax reclaims, which generally are contingent upon successful receipt of reclaimed amounts, are recorded in Professional Fees on the Statements of Operations once the amounts are due. The professional fees related to pursuing these tax reclaims are not subject to the Adviser’s expense limitation agreement.

Security Transactions and Investment Income — Security transactions are accounted for on the trade date for financial reporting purposes. Costs used in determining realized gains and losses on the sales of investment securities are based on specific identification. Dividend income is recognized on the ex-dividend date and interest income is recognized on an accrual basis.
Classes — Class specific expenses, such as distribution fees, are borne by that class of shares. Income, realized and change in unrealized gains/losses and non-class specific expenses are allocated to the respective class on the basis of relative net assets.
Expenses — Most expenses of the Trust can be directly attributed to a particular fund. Expenses that cannot be directly attributed to a particular fund are apportioned among the funds of the Trust based on the number of funds and/or relative net assets.
Dividends and Distributions to Shareholders — Dividends from net investment income, if any, are declared and paid annually by the Funds. Any net realized capital gains are distributed to shareholders at least annually.
Deferred Offering Costs — Offering costs, including costs of printing initial prospectus, legal and registration fees, are amortized over twelve-months from inception of the Fund. As of June 30, 2024, the remaining amount still to be amortized for the Strategic Focus Fund was $21,297 on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities.
3. |
TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES: |
Certain officers and a trustee of the Trust are also officers of the Administrator, a wholly owned subsidiary of SEI Investments Company, and/or SEI Investments Distribution Co. (the “Distributor”). Such officers and the trustee are paid no fees by the Trust for serving as officers and trustee of the Trust.
The services provided by the Chief Compliance Officer (“CCO”) and his staff, who are the employees of the Administrator, are paid for by the Trust as incurred. The services include regulatory oversight of the Trust’s advisers and service providers as required by SEC regulations. The CCO’s services and fees have been approved by and are reviewed by the Board.
4. |
ADMINISTRATION, DISTRIBUTION, TRANSFER AGENT AND CUSTODIAN AGREEMENTS: |
The Funds and the Administrator are parties to an Administration Agreement, under which the Administrator provides administrative services to the Fund. For these services, the Administrator is paid an asset-based fee, which will vary depending on the number of share classes and the average daily net assets of the Fund. For the six months ended June 30, 2024, the Small Company Fund, Mid Cap Fund and Strategic Focus Fund were charged $738,911, $1,718,397 and $748 for these services, respectively.
23 |
THE ADVISORS’ INNER CIRCLE FUND II |
CHAMPLAIN FUNDS JUNE 30, 2024 (Unaudited) |
The Funds have adopted a Distribution Plan (the “Plan”) for the Advisor Shares. Under the Plan, the Distributor, or third parties that enter into agreements with the Distributor, may receive up to 0.25% of the Funds’ average net assets attributable to the Advisor Shares as compensation for distribution services.
SS&C Global Investor & Distribution Solutions, Inc. serves as the Transfer Agent and dividend disbursing agent for the Funds under a transfer agency agreement with the Trust.
U.S. Bank, N.A. acts as custodian (the “Custodian”) for the Funds. The Custodian plays no role in determining the investment policies of the Funds or which securities are to be purchased or sold by the Funds.
5. |
INVESTMENT ADVISORY AGREEMENT: |
The Adviser serves as the investment adviser to the Funds. For its services, the Adviser is entitled to a fee, which is calculated daily and paid monthly, at the following annual rates base on the average daily net assets of each fund:
Fund |
Advisory Fee |
|||
Small Company Fund |
0.90% on the first $250 million in assets; 0.80% on assets over $250 million |
|||
Mid Cap Fund |
0.80% on the first $250 million in assets; 0.70% on assets over $250 million |
|||
Strategic Focus Fund |
0.80% on the first $250 million in assets; 0.70% on assets over $250 million |

To maintain these expense limitations, the Adviser may waive a portion of its advisory fee and/or reimburse certain expenses of the Funds. If at any point it becomes unnecessary for the Adviser, Administrator, or shareholder service agent to make expense limitation reimbursements, the Adviser may retain the difference between the “Total Annual Fund Operating Expenses” and the aforementioned expense limitations to recapture all or a portion of its prior expense limitation reimbursements made during the preceding three year period. As of June 30, 2024, the Funds did not recapture previously waived fees.
As of June 30, 2024, fees previously waived and reimbursed by the Adviser which may be subject to possible future reimbursement are as follows:

FEDERAL TAX INFORMATION: |
The amount and character of income and capital gain distributions, if any, to be paid, are determined in accordance with Federal income tax regulations, which may differ from U.S. GAAP. As a result, net investment income (loss) and net realized gain (loss) on investment transactions for a reporting period may differ significantly from distributions during such period. These book/tax differences may be temporary or permanent. To the extent these differences are permanent in nature, they are charged or credited to distributable earnings or paid-in capital, as appropriate, in the period that the differences arise.
The tax character of dividends and distributions declared during the fiscal years ended December 31, 2023, and December 31, 2022 were as follows:

Post October losses represent losses realized on investment transactions from November 1, 2023 through December 31, 2023 that, in accordance with Federal income tax regulations, the Funds may defer and treat as having arisen in the following fiscal year.
During the year ended December 31, 2023, the Small Company Fund utilized short-term capital loss carryforwards to offset capital gains in the amount of $34,274,076.
For Federal income tax purposes, the cost of securities owned at December 31, 2023 and net realized gains or losses on securities sold for the period were different from the amounts reported for financial reporting purposes. These differences were primarily due to wash sales, which cannot be used for Federal income tax purposes in the current period and have been deferred for use in future years.

CONCENTRATION OF RISKS: |
As with investing in all mutual funds, investing in the Funds involves risk, and there is no guarantee that the Funds will achieve their investment goals. You could lose money on your investment in a Fund, just as you could with other investments. As described in each Fund’s Prospectus, the Funds are subject to the following risks noted below, any of which may adversely affect the Fund’s net asset value and ability to meet its investment objective:
MARKET RISK (Each Fund) – The prices of and the income generated by the Fund’s securities may decline in response to, among other things, investor sentiment, general economic and market conditions, regional or global instability, and currency and interest rate fluctuations. In addition, the impact of any epidemic, pandemic or natural disaster, or widespread fear that such events may occur, could negatively affect the global economy, as well as the economies of individual countries, the financial performance of individual companies and sectors, and the markets in general in significant and unforeseen ways. Any such impact could adversely affect the prices and liquidity of the securities and other instruments in which the Fund invests, which in turn could negatively impact the Fund’s performance and cause losses on your investment in the Fund.
ACTIVE MANAGEMENT RISK (Each Fund) – The Fund is subject to the risk that the Adviser’s judgments about the attractiveness, value, or potential appreciation of the Fund’s investments may prove to be incorrect. If the investments selected and strategies employed by the Fund fail to produce the intended results, the Fund could underperform in comparison to other funds with similar objectives and investment strategies.
EQUITY RISK (Each Fund) – Since it purchases equity securities, the Fund is subject to the risk that stock prices will fall over short or extended periods of time. Historically, the equity markets have moved in cycles, and the value of the Fund’s equity securities may fluctuate drastically from day to day. Individual companies may report poor results or be negatively affected by industry and/or economic trends and developments. The prices of securities issued by such companies may suffer a decline in response. These factors contribute to price volatility, which is the principal risk of investing in the Fund.
SMALL-CAPITALIZATION COMPANY RISK (Small Company Fund & Strategic Focus Fund) – The Fund is also subject to the risk that small-capitalization stocks may underperform other segments of the equity market or the equity market as a whole. The small-capitalization companies that the Fund invests in may be more vulnerable

to adverse business or economic events than larger, more established companies. In particular, investments in these small-sized companies may pose additional risks, including liquidity risk, because these companies tend to have limited product lines, markets and financial resources, and may depend upon a relatively small management group. Therefore, small-cap stocks may be more volatile than those of larger companies. These securities may be traded over-the-counter or listed on an exchange.
MID-CAPITALIZATION COMPANY RISK (Mid Cap Fund and Strategic Focus Fund) – The Fund is also subject to the risk that medium-capitalization stocks may underperform other segments of the equity market or the equity market as a whole. The medium-sized companies the Fund invests in may be more vulnerable to adverse business or economic events than larger, more established companies. In particular, investments in these medium-sized companies may pose additional risks, including liquidity risk, because these companies tend to have limited product lines, markets and financial resources, and may depend upon a relatively small management group. Therefore, mid-capitalization stocks may be more volatile than those of larger companies. These securities may be traded over-the-counter or listed on an exchange.
NEW FUND RISK (Strategic Focus Fund) – Because the Fund is new, investors in the Fund bear the risk that the Fund may not be successful in implementing its investment strategy, may not employ a successful investment strategy, or may fail to attract sufficient assets under management to realize economies of scale, any of which could result in the Fund being liquidated at any time without shareholder approval and at a time that may not be favorable for all shareholders. Such liquidation could have negative tax consequences for shareholders and will cause shareholders to incur expenses of liquidation.
LARGE-CAPITALIZATION COMPANY RISK (Strategic Focus Fund) – The large-capitalization companies in which the Fund invests may not respond as quickly as smaller companies to competitive challenges, the growth rates of investments in these large-sized companies may lag the growth rates of well-managed smaller companies during strong economic periods.
GROWTH INVESTMENT STYLE RISK (Strategic Focus Fund) – An investment in growth stocks may be susceptible to rapid price swings, especially during periods of economic uncertainty. Growth stocks typically have little or no dividend income to cushion the effect of adverse market conditions. In addition, growth stocks may be particularly volatile in the event of earnings disappointments or other financial difficulties experienced by the issuer.
NON-DIVERSIFICATION RISK (Strategic Focus Fund) – The Fund is non-diversified, meaning that it may invest a large percentage of its assets in a single issuer or a relatively small number of issuers. Because the Fund is non-diversified, it may be more susceptible to a single adverse economic or political occurrence affecting one or more of the issuers, and may experience increased volatility due to its investments in those securities. However, the Fund intends to satisfy the diversification requirements for classification as a regulated investment company under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended.

INDEMNIFICATIONS: |
In the normal course of business, the Funds enter into contracts that provide general indemnifications. The Funds’ maximum exposure under these arrangements is dependent on future claims that may be made against the Funds and, therefore, cannot be established; however, based on experience, the risk of loss from such claim is considered remote.
12. |
LINE OF CREDIT: |
The Funds have entered into an umbrella loan agreement with the Custodian which enables the Funds to participate in a single $250 million uncommitted, senior secured line of credit, with an expiration date of March 12, 2025.
The proceeds from the borrowings shall be used to provide temporary liquidity to the Funds as necessary in order to meet redemption needs. Interest is charged to the Funds based on the outstanding principal balance of the borrowings at an annual rate equal to the Custodian’s then current prime-lending rate. These fees are included as “Other Expenses” on the Statements of Operations. As of the six months ended June 30, 2024, there were no borrowings outstanding.
