Letter from the Portfolio Management Team
Dear Shareholders:
We hope this letter finds you well, and that you find our comments and charts on the markets, economy, and portfolio positioning of value. We welcome your feedback and thank you for the trust and confidence you have placed in Brinker Capital Investments, a brand entity of Orion Advisor Solutions.
A Look Back
| ● | While returns over the six-month period ending October 31, 2021 were strong, the latter half provided stale returns for US equities. Consider that the Russell 3000 Index returned 9.8% over the period, led higher by large cap stocks. Small cap stocks1 returned just 1.9% over the same time period. Markets were supported by strong corporate performance, as Q2 earnings results easily topped Wall Street expectations. With that said, investors became risk averse toward the end of the period, as most major indices were in the red for the month of September. The flat returns for the quarter were indicative of a market catching its breath, as economic growth expectations have cooled of late, and US fiscal policy uncertainty persists. |
| ● | Overseas, International returns lagged those of the US, with the broad international benchmark2 returning 1.8% for the period. Emerging markets3 faltered, especially in the third quarter, as actions in China rippled through the asset class. |
| ● | Looking elsewhere: Fixed income investors experienced a quiet summer, as interest rates trended sideways for most of the period before spiking in late September and October. The 10-year Treasury yield4 began the period at 1.60% and settled at 1.55% on October 31. As such, traditional bonds provided a price return of just 0.1%, and another 1% from yield. Inflation ran hot, a negative for outstanding bonds, and the holders of those bonds. Elsewhere, commodity prices were strong, as the broad index5 returned 14% on the back of surging oil prices. |
Something to Think About
| ● | Timing is everything: The Federal Reserve (Fed) has remained transparent around monetary policy. Assuming the economy continues to recover, the central bank will begin tapering its monthly, $120 billion bond purchasing program in November. Despite the expected tapering, Chairman Powell remains committed to supportive monetary policy. The September Federal Open Market Committee survey suggests no changes to the Fed Funds rate until late 2022, at the earliest. We expect the markets to absorb the impact of tapering, so long as the pace and timing remain transparent. |

| 5 | Bloomberg Commodity TR USD |
AdvisorOne Funds Semi-Annual Report |
| ● | Not so fast: In addition to fiscal policy uncertainty, several macro headwinds have weighed on economic growth of late, including the Delta variant, supply chain disruptions and staffing challenges. With that said, those headwinds should dissipate over the coming months, and we believe it is likely the US economy will grow 6% or better this year. |
Current Positioning
| ● | We’re optimistic: We remain optimistic on the economy and risk-assets; monetary policy is supportive, the housing market is strong, consumer balance sheets are healthy and corporate profits are at historic highs. Additionally, improvements in the labor market, supply chains, and vaccination rates are likely positive catalysts going forward. Inflation and fiscal policy uncertainty near-term are challenges, but we believe the positives outweigh the negatives. Within equities we are underweight to large caps. Within international equities, we are slightly overweight to emerging markets. Global equities should do well as the Delta variant fades and growth accelerates. |
| ● | A balanced approach: While we are optimistic on the economy and stocks – see the bullet point above – it wouldn’t surprise us if markets remained a bit volatile into the fourth quarter as investors confront the tapering of the Fed’s securities purchase program, still elevated inflation, and the fallout from China’s Evergrande Group. Broadly diversified, multi-asset class portfolios can help mitigate the impact of market volatility, and help investors keep their focus on the long term. |
Thank you for your trust and confidence in managing your funds.
Sincerely,
Brinker Capital Investments (formerly known as CLS Investments) Portfolio Management Team

CLS Growth and Income Fund - Portfolio Summary
Portfolio Commentary
CLS Growth and Income returned 2.30% for the six-month period, ending October 31, 2021. The Fund has a Risk Budget of 55 (over time, it is approximately 55% as risky as a diversified stock portfolio consisting of 60% domestic equities and 40% international equities).
Exposure to commodities was a big tailwind for the portfolio over the period. Within equities, global innovation companies and financial stocks also provided a boost to performance. Outside of financials, other areas of US value stocks hurt performance. Emerging market stocks were a big laggard over the period. In fixed income, active managers that are utilized in the Fund helped performance as well as exposure to treasury inflation protected securities (TIPS).
The Fund’s largest sector tilts are to financial stocks and materials companies. Technology and healthcare are the largest underweights. Geographically, the Fund continues to favor emerging markets as the largest overweight. The Fund remains positioned in asset classes with significant valuation discounts, and therefore areas we believe have the highest expected returns going forward.
Within fixed income, the Fund’s interest-rate sensitivity is below the overall bond market. The Fund is positioned in higher quality US bonds, with the largest fixed income sector overweight being in TIPS, which was beneficial to performance during the six-month period.
Turnover for the Fund over the last six months was 3%.

CLS Flexible Income Fund - Portfolio Summary
Portfolio Commentary
CLS Flexible Income returned -0.04% for the six-month period, ended October 31, 2021. The Fund has a Risk Budget of 20 (i.e., over time the Fund is approximately 20 percent as risky as a diversified stock portfolio consisting of 60 percent domestic equities and 40 percent international equities).
Within fixed income, exposure to senior bank loans, high yield corporate bonds, and treasury inflation protected securities (TIPS) were positive contributors to performance. In equities, healthcare companies performed well during the period. The Fund was negatively impacted by emerging market equities and bonds, short duration positions in fixed income, and a flattening of the treasury curve.
In terms of portfolio positioning, the Fund has an overweight to international equities relative to its global benchmark. Within fixed income sector, TIPS are the largest sector overweight the Fund also has an overweight to corporate bonds and an underweight to US treasuries.

CLS Shelter Fund - Portfolio Summary
Portfolio Commentary
CLS Shelter returned 5.18% for the six-month period ending October 31, 2021. The Fund has a risk-based benchmark (75 percent of a blended benchmark consisting of 80 percent of the Morningstar U.S. Market Index (a benchmark for the U.S. market) and 20 percent of the Morningstar Global Market ex U.S. Large-Mid Index (a benchmark for international stocks), and 25 percent of the Morningstar Cash Index (an index of very short-term government debt securities).
After returning to a fully diversified equity portfolio at the end of April, 2021, the Fund moved to a position with a 5% allocation to minimum volatility securities to begin the period. Shortly into the period market volatility moved the Fund to 15% minimum volatility securities, but that would be the most protection the Fund would be allocated to over the period. During the six-month time period the market was upward trending but saw periods of volatility. Remaining in a majority of diversified equities was a boost to performance for the Fund. The exposure to minimum volatility securities was helpful to performance as well. Selection within the diversified equities portion proved to hinder performance as exposure to small cap equities and international, particularly emerging market stocks hurt performance. The Fund continued to be allocated to 85% to 100% diversified global equities and 0% to 15% minimum volatility securities and 0% treasury bills during the period.
Turnover for the Fund over the last six months was 67%.

AdvisorOne Funds (the “Trust”) was organized as a Delaware Business Trust in December 1996 and is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”), as an open-end management investment company. The CLS Global Aggressive Equity Fund, CLS Global Diversified Equity Fund, CLS Growth and Income Fund, CLS Flexible Income Fund, and CLS Shelter Fund, (collectively the “Funds” and each individually a “Fund”) are each a diversified series of the Trust. The Funds each offer an unlimited number of shares of beneficial interest without par value. Each Fund offers both Class N and Class T shares. Each share of each Fund’s two classes represents an undivided, proportionate interest in the Fund. All income, expenses (other than class specific expenses), and realized gains or losses are allocated daily to each class of shares based on the relative value of the shares of each class. A Fund’s class specific expenses include shareholder service fees. In addition, there are differences among the classes of shares with respect to the minimum investment required and voting rights affecting each class.
Fund | The primary investment objective of each Fund is as follows: |
CLS Global Aggressive Equity Fund | Long-term growth. |
CLS Global Diversified Equity Fund | Long-term growth of capital without regard to current income. |
CLS Growth and Income Fund | A combination of current income and growth of capital. |
CLS Flexible Income Fund | Total return, consisting of income and capital growth, consistent with preservation of capital. |
CLS Shelter Fund | Limiting the impact of large equity market declines. The Fund’s secondary investment objective is growth of capital. |
| 2. | Summary of Significant Accounting Policies |
The following is a summary of significant accounting policies followed by the Funds in the preparation of their financial statements. These policies are in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”). The preparation of financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of income and expenses for the year. The Funds are investment companies and accordingly follow the investment companies accounting and reporting guidance of the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification Topic 946 “Financial Services – Investment Companies” including FASB Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2013-08.

Security Valuation – Securities listed on an exchange are valued at the last reported sale price at the close of the regular trading session of the exchange on the business day the value is being determined or, in the case of securities listed on NASDAQ, at the NASDAQ Official Closing Price. In the absence of a sale, such securities shall be valued at the mean between the current bid and ask prices on the primary exchange on the day of valuation. Short-term investments that mature in 60 days or less may be valued at amortized cost, provided such valuations represent fair value. Under the amortized cost method, a portfolio instrument is valued at cost and any premium or discount is amortized to maturity. Amortization of premium and accretion of market discount are charged to income. Debt securities (other than short-term obligations) are valued each day by an independent pricing service approved by the Trust’s Board of Trustees (the “Board” or the “Trustees”) based on methods which include consideration of: yields or prices of securities of comparable quality, coupon, maturity and type, indications as to values from dealers, and general market conditions or market quotations from a major market maker in the securities.
The Funds may hold securities, such as private investments, interests in commodity pools, other non-traded securities or temporarily illiquid securities, for which market quotations are not readily available or are determined to be unreliable. These securities will be valued using the “fair value” procedures approved by the Board. The Board has delegated execution of these procedures to a fair value committee composed of one or more representatives from each of the (i) Trust, (ii) administrator, and (iii) advisor. The committee may also enlist third party consultants such as a valuation specialist at a public accounting firm, valuation consultant or financial officer of a security issuer on an as-needed basis to assist in determining a security-specific fair value. The Board reviews and ratifies the execution of this process and the resultant fair value prices at least quarterly to assure the process produces reliable results.
Fair Valuation Process – As noted above, the fair value committee is composed of one or more representatives from each of the (i) Trust, (ii) administrator, and (iii) advisor. The applicable investments are valued collectively via inputs from each of these groups. For example, fair value determinations are required for the following securities: (i) securities for which market quotations are insufficient or not readily available on a particular business day (including securities for which there is a short and temporary lapse in the provision of a price by the regular pricing source), (ii) securities for which, in the judgment of the advisor, the prices or values available do not represent the fair value of the instrument. Factors which may cause the advisor to make such a judgment include, but are not limited to, the following: only a bid price or an ask price is available; the spread between bid and ask prices is substantial; the frequency

of sales; the thinness of the market; the size of reported trades; and actions of the securities markets, such as the suspension or limitation of trading; (iii) securities determined to be illiquid; (iv) securities with respect to which an event that will affect the value thereof has occurred (a “significant event”) since the closing prices were established on the principal exchange on which they are traded, but prior to a Fund’s calculation of its net asset value. Specifically, interests in commodity pools or managed futures pools are valued on a daily basis by reference to the closing market prices of each futures contract or other asset held by a pool, as adjusted for pool expenses. Restricted or illiquid securities, such as private placements or non-traded securities are valued via inputs from the advisor based upon the current bid for the security from two or more independent dealers or other parties reasonably familiar with the facts and circumstances of the security (who should take into consideration all relevant factors as may be appropriate under the circumstances). If the advisor is unable to obtain a current bid from such independent dealers or other independent parties, the fair value team shall determine the fair value of such security using the following factors: (i) the type of security; (ii) the cost at date of purchase; (iii) the size and nature of a Fund’s holdings; (iv) the discount from market value of unrestricted securities of the same class at the time of purchase and subsequent thereto; (v) information as to any transactions or offers with respect to the security; (vi) the nature and duration of restrictions on disposition of the security and the existence of any registration rights; (vii) how the yield of the security compares to similar securities of companies of similar or equal creditworthiness; (viii) the level of recent trades of similar or comparable securities; (ix) the liquidity characteristics of the security; (x) current market conditions; and (xi) the market value of any securities into which the security is convertible or exchangeable.
Valuation of Fund of Funds - The Funds may invest in portfolios of open-end or closed-end investment companies (the “Underlying Funds”). The Underlying Funds value securities in their portfolios for which market quotations are readily available at their market values (generally the last reported sale price) and all other securities and assets at their fair value to the methods established by the board of directors of the Underlying Funds.
Open-end investment companies are valued at their respective net asset values as reported by such investment companies. The shares of many closed-end investment companies, after their initial public offering, frequently trade at a price per share that is different than the net asset value per share. The difference represents a market premium or market discount of such shares. There can be no assurances that the market discount or market premium on shares of any closed-end investment company purchased by the Funds will not change.

The Funds utilize various methods to measure the fair value of all of their investments on a recurring basis. GAAP establishes a hierarchy that prioritizes inputs to valuation methods. The three levels of input are:
Level 1 – Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities that a Fund has the ability to access.
Level 2 – Observable inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly. These inputs may include quoted prices for the identical instrument in an inactive market, prices for similar instruments, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, yield curves, default rates and similar data.
Level 3 – Unobservable inputs for the asset or liability, to the extent relevant observable inputs are not available, representing a Fund’s own assumptions about the assumptions a market participant would use in valuing the asset or liability, and would be based on the best information available.
The availability of observable inputs can vary from security to security and is affected by a wide variety of factors, including, for example, the type of security, whether the security is new and not yet established in the marketplace, the liquidity of markets, and other characteristics particular to the security. To the extent that valuation is based on models or inputs that are less observable or unobservable in the market, the determination of fair value requires more judgment.
Accordingly, the degree of judgment exercised in determining fair value is greatest for instruments categorized in Level 3.
The inputs used to measure fair value may fall into different levels of the fair value hierarchy. In such cases, for disclosure purposes, the level in the fair value hierarchy within which the fair value measurement falls in its entirety, is determined based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety.

Exchange Traded Funds
The Funds may invest in exchange traded funds (“ETFs”). ETFs are a type of fund bought and sold on a securities exchange. An ETF trades like common stock and may be actively managed or represent a fixed portfolio of securities. A Fund may purchase an ETF to temporarily gain exposure to a portion of the U.S. or a foreign market while awaiting purchase of underlying securities. The risks of owning an ETF generally reflect the risks of owning the underlying securities they are designed to track. Additionally, ETFs pay fees and incur operating expenses, which reduce the total return earned by the ETFs from their underlying holdings.
Income Taxes
It is each Fund’s policy to comply with all sections of the Internal Revenue Code applicable to regulated investment companies and to distribute all of its taxable income and gains to its shareholders and therefore, no provision for federal income tax has been made. Each Fund is treated as a separate taxpayer for federal income tax purposes.
The Funds recognize the tax benefits of uncertain tax positions only where the position is “more likely than not” to be sustained assuming examination by tax authorities. Management has analyzed the Funds’ tax positions and has concluded that no liability for unrecognized tax benefits should be recorded related to uncertain tax positions taken on returns filed for open tax years 2018-2020, or expected to be taken in the Funds’ 2021 tax returns. The Funds identified their major tax jurisdictions as U.S. federal, Ohio and foreign jurisdictions where the Funds make significant investments; however, the Funds are not aware of any tax positions for which it is reasonably possible that the total amounts of unrecognized tax benefits will change materially in the next twelve months.
Security Transactions and Related Income
Investment security transactions are accounted for on a trade date basis. Cost is determined and gains and losses are based upon the specific identification method for both financial statement and federal income tax purposes. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date and interest income is recorded on an accrual basis. Purchase discounts and premiums on securities are accreted and amortized over the life of the respective securities.
Expenses
Expenses of the Trust that are directly identifiable to a specific fund are charged to that fund. Expenses that are not readily identifiable to a specific fund are allocated in such a manner as deemed equitable, taking into consideration the nature and type of expense and the relative sizes of the funds. Each fund’s income, expenses (other than the class specific distribution and shareholder service fees) and realized and unrealized gains and losses are allocated proportionally each day between the classes based upon the relative net assets of each class.

October 31, 2021
Distributions to Shareholders
Income will normally be declared and distributed at least annually for all Funds with the exception of the CLS Flexible Income Fund. Income will normally be declared and distributed monthly for the CLS Flexible Income Fund. The Funds declare and pay net realized capital gains, if any, annually. The character of income and gains to be distributed is determined in accordance with income tax regulations which may differ from GAAP. These differences are primarily due to the treatment of wash sale losses, grantor trust and partnership income.
Indemnification
The Trust indemnifies its officers and Trustees for certain liabilities that may arise from the performance of their duties to the Trust. Additionally, in the normal course of business, the Funds enter into contracts that contain a variety of representations and warranties and which provide general indemnities. A Fund’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown, as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Funds that have not yet occurred. However, based on experience, the Trust expects the risk of loss due to these warranties and indemnities to be remote.
| 3. | Investment Advisory Agreement and Transactions with Related Parties |
Advisory Fees
The Trust has entered into an Investment Advisory Agreement with Brinker Capital Investments, LLC (formerly CLS Investments, LLC) (the “Advisor”). As compensation for the services rendered, facilities furnished, and expenses borne by the Advisor, the Funds pay the Advisor a fee accrued daily and paid monthly, at the annualized rate of 0.75% of net assets for CLS Global Aggressive Equity Fund, CLS Global Diversified Equity Fund, CLS Growth and Income Fund, and CLS Shelter Fund; and at an annualized rate of 0.40% for CLS Flexible Income Fund. During the six months ended October 31, 2021, the Advisor earned the following fees:
Fund | | Advisory Fee | |
CLS Global Aggressive Equity Fund | | $ | 578,226 | |
CLS Global Diversified Equity Fund | | | 1,490,053 | |

The Trustees, on behalf of the Funds, have adopted a Shareholder Servicing Plan (“Shareholder Servicing Plan”). The Shareholder Servicing Plan allows each of the Funds to use part of its assets for the payment of certain shareholder servicing expenses, including administrative or other shareholder support services. For these services under the Shareholder Servicing Plan, each Fund pays the Advisor an amount up to 0.25% of average net assets attributable to Class N Shares, and an amount up to 0.10% of average net assets for Class T Shares of the respective Funds on an annualized basis. The Advisor uses these shareholder servicing fees to compensate other parties that have entered into shareholder servicing agreements with the advisor with respect to the servicing of Fund shares. During the six months ended October 31, 2021, the Funds paid the following Shareholder Servicing Plan fees:
| | Shareholder | |
Fund | | Servicing Fee | |
CLS Global Aggressive Equity Fund | | $ | 192,742 | |
CLS Global Diversified Equity Fund | | | 496,684 | |
CLS Growth and Income Fund | | | 423,591 | |
CLS Flexible Income Fund | | | 204,047 | |
CLS Shelter Fund | | | 198,034 | |

| | Expense Limitation | |
Class N | | | | |
CLS Global Aggressive Equity, CLS Global Diversified Equity, | | | | |
CLS Growth and Income, and CLS Shelter | | | 1.25 | % |

Fees waived or expenses reimbursed may be recouped by the Advisor from a Fund for a period up to three years from the date the fee or expense was waived or reimbursed. However, no recoupment payment will be made by a Fund if it would result in the Fund exceeding lesser of (i) the expense limitation at the time of waiver/reimbursement or (ii) the current expense limitation. The table below contains the amounts of fee waivers and expense reimbursements subject to recapture by the Advisor through April 30 of the years indicated:

For the six months ended October 31, 2021, no underwriting commission were paid for sales of shares.
Administration, Fund Accounting, Transfer Agent, Custody Administration Fees
Gemini Fund Services, LLC (“GFS”), an affiliate of NLD, provides administration, fund accounting, and transfer agent services to the Trust. Pursuant to a separate servicing agreement with GFS, the Funds pay GFS customary fees for providing administration, fund accounting, and transfer agency services to the Funds. Certain officers of the Trust are also officers of GFS and are not paid any fees directly by the Funds for serving in such capacities.
In addition, certain affiliates of the distributor provide ancillary services to the Funds as follows:

The Funds have entered into a securities lending arrangement with The Bank of New York Mellon (the “Lending Agent”). Under the terms of the agreement, the Funds are authorized to loan securities through the Lending Agent to approved third-party borrowers. In exchange, the Funds receive cash collateral in the amount of at least 102% of the value of the securities loaned. The value of securities loaned is disclosed in a footnote on the statement of Assets & Liabilities and on the Schedule of Investments. Securities lending income is disclosed in the Funds’ Statements of Operations. Although risk is mitigated by the collateral, the Funds could experience a delay in recovering their securities and possible loss of income or value if the borrower fails to return them.
The Funds have adopted the disclosure provisions of FASB ASU 2014-11, “Transfers & Servicing (Topic 860): Repurchase-to-Maturity Transactions, Repurchase Financings, and Disclosures.” ASU No. 2014-11 is intended to provide increased transparency about the types of collateral pledged in securities lending transactions and other similar transactions that are accounted for as secured borrowing.

Shareholder Expense Example (Unaudited) |
As a shareholder of one or more of the Funds you may incur ongoing costs, including management fees; shareholder servicing expenses and other Fund expenses. This Example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in each Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds.
This Example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period as indicated below.
Actual Expenses: The “actual” line of each row in the table provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this line, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the applicable number under the heading entitled “Expenses Paid During the Period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during the period.
Hypothetical Examples for Comparison Purposes: The “hypothetical” line of each row in the table below provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on each Fund’s actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Fund’s actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Fund and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds.
Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transactional costs, such as sales charges (loads), or contingent deferred sales charges on redemptions. Therefore, the “hypothetical” line of each row in the table are useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transactional costs were included, your costs would have been higher.
