| | |
Class Name | Costs of a $10,000 investment | Costs paid as a percentage of a $10,000 investment |
Class A | $115 | 1.05% |
HOW DID THE FUND PERFORM LAST YEAR? WHAT AFFECTED ITS PERFORMANCE?
The Diversified Value Fund returned 18.48% for Class A shares at net asset value (NAV) for the 12 months ended June 30, 2024. The Fund underperformed the Russell 3000 Index, which returned 23.13%.
TOP DETRACTORS FROM PERFORMANCE
• Large cap stocks significantly outperformed their small cap counterparts. This performance disparity has widened the valuation gap between large cap and small cap stocks.
• Stock selection in communication services, information technology, and consumer discretionary was the largest relative detractor. An underweight in the strong performing information technology sector also detracted from performance.
TOP CONTRIBUTORS TO PERFORMANCE
• Stock selection and an overweight in financials helped relative performance.
HOW DID THE FUND PERFORM OVER THE PAST 10 YEARS?*
The $10,000 chart reflects a hypothetical $10,000 investment in the class of shares noted and assumes the maximum sales charge. The chart uses total return NAV performance and assumes reinvestment of dividends and capital gains. Fund expenses, including 12b-1 fees, management fees and other expenses were deducted.

TOP DETRACTORS FROM PERFORMANCE
• Large cap stocks significantly outperformed their small cap counterparts. This performance disparity has widened the valuation gap between large cap and small cap stocks.
• Stock selection in information technology and communication services was the largest relative detractor. An underweight in the strong performing information technology sector also detracted from performance.
TOP CONTRIBUTORS TO PERFORMANCE
• Stock selection in industrials and financials helped relative performance.

Other Material Fund Changes
The Fund commenced operations following the completion of the reorganization of the HW Opportunities MP Fund, a series of Series Portfolio Trust (the “Predecessor Fund”), into the Fund, which occurred after close of business on December 15, 2023 (the “Reorganization”).
In connection with the Securities and Exchange Commission’s new Tailored Shareholder Report rule, the Fund’s primary benchmark index changed to the Russell 3000 Index. The Fund will continue to show index performance for the Russell 3000 Value Index, the Fund’s prior benchmark index.
CHANGES IN AND DISAGREEMENTS WITH ACCOUNTANTS
As a result of the Reorganization after the close of business on December 15, 2023, there was a change in accountants from Cohen & Company, Ltd., the Predecessor Fund’s independent registered public accounting firm, to Deloitte & Touche LLP, the independent registered public accounting firm that the Board selected for the Fund at a meeting held on August 15, 2023, upon the recommendation of the Trust’s Audit Committee.

Item 3. Audit Committee Financial Expert.
As of the end of the period covered by this report, the registrant’s Board of Trustees (the “Board”) has determined that Robert Fitzgerald, a member of the registrant’s Audit Committee, is an “audit committee financial expert” and “independent,” as such terms are defined in this Item.
Item 4. Principal Accountant Fees and Services.
The registrant has engaged its principal accountant to perform audit services, audit-related services, tax services and other services during the past two fiscal years. “Audit services” refer to professional services performed by the principal accountant for the audit of the registrant’s annual financial statements or services that are normally provided by the accountant in connection with statutory and regulatory filings or engagements for those fiscal years. “Audit-related services” refer to the assurance and related services by the principal accountant that are reasonably related to the performance of the audit or review of financial statements that are not reported under “Audit Fees”. “Tax services” refer to professional services rendered by the principal accountant for tax compliance, tax advice, and tax planning. The principal accountant did not provide any other services.
The following table details the aggregate fees billed or expected to be billed to the Funds for each of the last two fiscal years for audit fees, audit-related fees, tax fees and other fees by the principal accountant.
| FYE 6/30/2024 | FYE 6/30/2023 |
(a) Audit Fees | $250,800 | $224,200 |
(b) Audit-Related Fees | $0 | $0 |
(c) Tax Fees | $0 | $0 |
(d) All Other Fees | $0 | $0 |
(e)(1) The registrant’s Audit Committee (the “Committee”) has adopted policies and procedures with regard to the pre-approval of services. The Committee shall pre approve any engagements of the independent auditors to provide any non-prohibited services to the registrant, including the fees and other compensation to be paid to the independent auditors. The Committee has delegated certain pre-approval responsibilities to its Char, who may grant the pre-approval of
services to the registrant for non-prohibited services for engagements of less than $5,000. The Committee shall also pre-approve any engagement of the independent auditors, including the fees and other compensation to be paid to the independent auditors, to provide any non-audit services to the registrant’s investment adviser, Hotchkis & Wiley Capital Management, LLC (the “Advisor”) (or any “control affiliate” of the Advisor providing ongoing services to the registrant), if the engagement relates directly to the operations and financial reporting of the registrant. The Chair of the Committee may grant the pre-approval for non-prohibited services to the Advisor for engagements of less than $5,000. All such delegated pre-approvals shall be presented to the Committee no later than the next Committee meeting.
(e)(2) The Committee approved in advance all audit services and non-audit services that Deloitte & Touche LLP (“D&T”) provided to the Funds, except for any non-audit services that were subject to the pre-approval exception under Rule 2-01 of Regulation S-X (the “pre-approval exception”). The percentage of fees billed by D&T applicable to non-audit services pursuant to the pre-approval exception were as follows:
| FYE 6/30/2024 | FYE 6/30/2023 |
Audit-Related Fees | 0% | 0% |
Tax Fees | 0% | 0% |
All Other Fees | 0% | 0% |
(f) Less than 50 percent of the hours expended on the principal accountant’s engagement to audit the registrant’s financial statements for the most recent fiscal year were attributed to work performed by persons other than the full time permanent employees of the principal accountant.
(g) During the last two fiscal years, D&T has served as the auditor to the Advisor and/or affiliates of the Advisor, and has rendered non-audit services to the Advisor and/or affiliates of the Advisor. The non-audit services that D&T provided to the Advisor and/or affiliates of the Advisor in 2024 and 2023 consisted of preparing state and federal tax returns. D&T charged $225,000 and $216,560 for such non-audit services to the Advisor and/or affiliates of the Advisor for 2024 and 2023, respectively. None of the non-audit services provided by D&T to the Advisor and/or affiliates of the Advisor directly related to the operations or financial reporting of the registrant.
(h) The Committee has considered whether the provision of audit and non-audit services that were rendered to the Advisor and any entity controlling, controlled by or under common control with the Advisor is compatible with maintaining the principal accountant’s independence and has concluded that the provision of such non-audit services by the accountant has not compromised the accountant’s independence.

Notes to the Financial Statements
JUNE 30, 2024
NOTE 1. Organization.
Hotchkis & Wiley Funds (the “Trust”) is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”), as an open-end, management investment company. The Trust was organized as a Delaware statutory trust on July 23, 2001 and consists of eleven series. The Hotchkis & Wiley Diversified Value Fund, the Hotchkis & Wiley Large Cap Value Fund, the Hotchkis & Wiley Mid-Cap Value Fund, the Hotchkis & Wiley Small Cap Value Fund, the Hotchkis & Wiley Small Cap Diversified Value Fund, the Hotchkis & Wiley Global Value Fund, the Hotchkis & Wiley International Value Fund, the Hotchkis & Wiley International Small Cap Diversified Value Fund and the Hotchkis & Wiley High Yield Fund (collectively, the “H&W Funds”) are each a diversified series and the Hotchkis & Wiley Value Opportunities Fund (together with the H&W Funds, hereafter referred to as the “Funds”) is a non-diversified series of the Trust. The Trust was organized to acquire the assets and liabilities of the Mercury HW Large Cap Value Fund, the Mercury HW Mid-Cap Value Fund and the Mercury HW Small Cap Value Fund (the “Mercury HW Funds”). On February 4, 2002, the Mercury HW Funds were reorganized into the Trust through a non-taxable exchange. On August 28, 2009, the Hotchkis & Wiley Core Value Fund was renamed the Hotchkis & Wiley Diversified Value Fund and the Hotchkis & Wiley All Cap Value Fund was renamed the Hotchkis & Wiley Value Opportunities Fund. The other series of the Trust is included in a separate report.
The Diversified Value Fund, Large Cap Value Fund, Mid-Cap Value Fund, Small Cap Diversified Value Fund, Global Value Fund, International Value Fund, International Small Cap Diversified Value Fund and High Yield Fund have three authorized classes of shares: Class I, Class A and Class Z. The Small Cap Value Fund and Value Opportunities Fund have four authorized classes of shares: Class I, Class A, Class C and Class Z. Class A shares are sold with a front-end sales charge. Class C shares may be subject to a contingent deferred sales charge. Class C shares are automatically converted to Class A shares approximately eight years after purchase and will then be subject to lower distribution and service fees. All classes have identical voting, dividend, liquidation and other rights and the same terms and conditions, except that Class A and Class C shares bear certain expenses related to the distribution and servicing expenditures. Currently, the International Value Fund and International Small Cap Diversified Value Fund are not offering Class A shares to investors and the Diversified Value Fund, Global Value Fund, International Value Fund and International Small Cap Diversified Value Fund are not offering Class Z shares to investors. Effective May 31, 2024, Class C shares converted to Class A shares for the Diversified Value Fund, Large Cap Value Fund, Mid-Cap Value Fund and High Yield Fund.
Significant Accounting Policies. The Funds’ financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”), which may require the use of management accruals and estimates. Actual results could differ from those estimates and those differences could be significant. Each Fund is an investment company and accordingly follows the investment company accounting and reporting guidance of the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standard Codification Topic 946 “Financial Services — Investment Companies”. The following is a summary of significant accounting policies followed by the Funds.
Security Valuation. Equity securities traded on a national stock exchange or Nasdaq Global Markets, Nasdaq Select Market and the Nasdaq Capital Markets (together, “Nasdaq”) are valued at the last reported sale price or Nasdaq Official Closing Price, as applicable, on that day, or, in the absence of recorded sales, at the average of the last bid and asked quotation on such exchange or Nasdaq. Over-the-counter securities not traded on Nasdaq are valued at the last sale price on the valuation day, or if the last sale price is unavailable, at the average of the quoted bid and asked prices in the over-the-counter market. Foreign equity securities (which are principally traded in markets other than the U.S.) are valued based upon the last reported sale price on the primary exchange or market on which they trade as of the close of business of such exchange or market immediately preceding the time of determining the Fund’s net asset value. Any Fund assets or liabilities initially valued in terms of non-U.S. dollar currencies are translated into U.S. dollars at the prevailing foreign currency exchange market rates as provided by an independent Pricing Service.
The Trust’s Board of Trustees (the “Board”) has designated Hotchkis & Wiley Capital Management, LLC (the “Advisor”) as the Funds’ “valuation designee” to perform all fair valuations of the Funds’ portfolio investments, subject to the Board’s oversight. The Advisor, as the Funds’ valuation designee, has established procedures for its fair valuation of the Funds’ portfolio investments, which address, among other things, determining when market quotations are not readily available or reliable and certain methodologies for the fair valuation of such portfolio investments, as well as the use and oversight of Pricing Services.
Fixed-income securities are generally valued at their evaluated mean prices provided by Pricing Services. Pricing Services generally provide an evaluated price that takes into account appropriate factors such as institutional-sized trading in similar groups of securities, yield, quality, coupon rate, maturity, type of issue, trading characteristics, and other market data, and may

provide a price determined by a matrix pricing method or other analytical pricing models. If valuations from the Pricing Services are unavailable or deemed unreliable, the fixed-income security shall be priced according to the average of the bid and ask prices of broker quotes (or a single broker quote) for such security or the last sale price reported on FINRA’s Trade Reporting and Compliance Engine (“TRACE”) (excluding cross and retail trades).
For portfolio holdings which trade in markets that close prior to the close of trading on the New York Stock Exchange (which is generally 4:00 p.m. Eastern time), the Funds generally utilize a Pricing Service’s fair value price which is designed to capture events occurring after a foreign exchange closes that may affect the value of certain portfolio holdings traded on those foreign exchanges. When this fair value pricing is employed, the value of the portfolio holdings used to calculate the Funds’ net asset values may differ from quoted or official closing prices.
The Trust has performed an analysis of all existing investments to determine the significance and character of all inputs to their fair value determination. Various inputs are used in determining the value of each Fund’s investments. These inputs are summarized in the following three broad categories:
Level 1 –
| Quoted unadjusted prices for identical instruments in active markets to which the Trust has access at the date of measurement. |
Level 2 –
| Other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar instruments, interest rates, current yields, credit quality, prepayment speeds for mortgage related securities, collateral for asset-backed securities, foreign security indices, foreign exchange rates, fair value estimates for foreign securities, and changes in benchmark securities indices). Level 2 inputs are those in markets for which there are few transactions, the prices are not current, little public information exists or instances where prices vary substantially over time or among brokered market makers. |
Level 3 –
| Significant unobservable inputs including model derived valuations in which one or more significant inputs or significant value drivers are unobservable. Unobservable inputs are those inputs that reflect assumptions that market participants would use to price the asset or liability based on the best available information. |
The following table presents the valuation levels of each Fund’s assets as of June 30, 2024:

Income and Expense Allocation. Expenses incurred by or attributable to a specific Fund are allocated entirely to that Fund. Expenses incurred by the Trust which do not relate to a specific Fund or Funds are allocated among the Funds per capita. Alternatively, such expenses may be allocated based upon the Funds’ relative net assets as of a recent date or using another methodology based upon a determination by persons authorized by the Board, including either the President or Treasurer of the Trust, that the alternative allocation methodology is fair and equitable taking into consideration the nature and type of the expense.
For all Funds, except the High Yield Fund, net investment income, other than class-specific expenses, and realized and unrealized gains and losses are allocated daily to each class of shares based upon the relative net asset value of outstanding shares of each class at the beginning of the day (after adjusting for the current day’s capital share activity of the respective

class). For the High Yield Fund, net investment income, other than class-specific expenses, and realized and unrealized gains and losses are allocated daily to each class of shares based upon the relative net asset value of settled shares of each class at the beginning of the day (after adjusting for the current day’s capital share activity of the respective class).
Dividends and Distributions to Shareholders. Dividends and distributions to shareholders are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Dividends from net investment income are declared daily and paid monthly for the High Yield Fund and declared and paid annually for the Diversified Value Fund, Large Cap Value Fund, Mid-Cap Value Fund, Small Cap Value Fund, Small Cap Diversified Value Fund, Global Value Fund, International Value Fund, International Small Cap Diversified Value Fund and Value Opportunities Fund. Distributions of net realized capital gains, if any, will be declared and paid at least annually.
Security Transactions and Investment Income. Security and shareholder transactions are recorded on trade date. Realized gains and losses on sales of investments are calculated on the specifically identified cost basis of the securities. Dividend income, less foreign taxes withheld, if any, is recorded on the ex-dividend date. Interest income is recognized on the accrual basis. Market discounts and original issue discounts on fixed-income securities are amortized daily over the expected life of the security using the effective yield method. Market premiums on fixed-income securities are amortized daily on the yield to the next call method. Return of capital distributions received from real estate investment trust (“REIT”) securities are recorded as an adjustment to the cost of the security and thus may impact unrealized gains or losses on the security.
Securities purchased or sold on a when-issued, delayed delivery or forward commitment basis may have extended settlement periods. The value of the security purchased is subject to market fluctuations during this period.
Foreign Currency Transactions. Securities and other assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollar amounts at the date of valuation. Purchases and sales of securities and income and expense items denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollar amounts on the respective dates of such transactions. The Funds isolate the portion of realized gains or losses and do not isolate the portion of unrealized appreciation or depreciation resulting from changes in foreign exchange rates on securities from the fluctuations arising from changes in market prices of securities held. Reported net realized foreign exchange gains or losses arise from sales of securities, currency gains or losses realized between the trade and settlement dates on securities transactions and the difference between the amounts of dividends, interest and foreign withholding taxes recorded on the Funds’ books and the U.S. dollar equivalent of the amounts actually received or paid.
Payment In-Kind Securities. Certain Funds may invest in payment in-kind securities. Payment in-kind securities give the issuer the option at each interest payment date of making interest payments in either cash or additional debt securities. Those additional debt securities usually have the same terms, including maturity dates and interest rates, and associated risks as the original bonds. The daily market quotations of the original bonds may include the accrued interest (referred to as a dirty price) and may require a pro-rata adjustment to interest receivable from the unrealized appreciation or depreciation of securities on the Statements of Assets & Liabilities.
Restricted and Illiquid Securities. The Funds may invest in securities that are subject to legal or contractual restrictions on resale or are illiquid. Restricted securities generally may be resold in transactions exempt from registration. An illiquid security is an investment 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 market value of the investment. Disposal of these securities may involve time-consuming negotiations and expense, and prompt sale at the current valuation may be difficult.
Options. The Funds are subject to equity price risk in the normal course of pursuing their investment objectives. The Funds may purchase put options on securities to protect holdings in an underlying or related security against a substantial decline in market value. The Funds may purchase call options on securities and security indexes. A Fund may write a call or put option only if the option is “covered” by the Fund holding a position in the underlying securities or by other means which would permit immediate satisfaction of the Fund’s obligation as writer of the option. Prior to exercise or expiration, an option may be closed by an offsetting purchase or sale of an option of the same series. The purchase and writing of options involves certain risks. If a put or call option purchased by a Fund is not sold when it has remaining value, and if the market price of the underlying security, in the case of a put, remains equal to or greater than the exercise price or, in the case of a call, remains less than or equal to the exercise price, the Fund will lose its entire investment in the option. There can be no assurance that a liquid market

will exist when a Fund seeks to close out an option position. Furthermore, if trading restrictions or suspensions are imposed on the options markets, the Fund may be unable to close out a position. With options, there is minimal counterparty risk to the Funds since options are exchange traded and the exchange’s clearinghouse, as counterparty to all exchange traded options, guarantees the options against default.
When a Fund purchases a put or call option, an amount equal to the premium paid is included on the Statements of Assets & Liabilities as an investment, and is subsequently adjusted to reflect the fair market value of the option. If an option expires on the stipulated expiration date or if the Fund enters into a closing sale transaction, a gain or loss is realized. If the Fund exercises a put option, a gain or loss is realized from the sale of the underlying security, and the proceeds from such sale are decreased by the premium originally paid for the put option. If the Fund exercises a call option, the cost of the security acquired is increased by the premium paid for the call option.
Futures Contracts. The Global Value Fund, International Value Fund, International Small Cap Diversified Value Fund, Value Opportunities Fund and High Yield Fund are subject to foreign currency exchange rate risk in the normal course of pursuing their investment objectives. A Fund may use futures contracts to gain exposure to, or hedge against, changes in the value of foreign currencies. A futures contract provides for the future sale by one party and purchase by another party of an asset at a specified price on a specified date. Upon entering into such contracts, the Fund is required to deposit with the broker, either in cash or securities, an initial margin deposit in an amount equal to a certain percentage of the contract amount. Subsequent payments (variation margin) are made or received by the Fund each day, depending on the daily fluctuations in the value of the contract, and are recorded for financial statement purposes as unrealized gains or losses by the Fund. Upon entering into such contracts, the Fund bears the risk of exchange rates moving unexpectedly, in which case the Fund may not achieve the anticipated benefits of the futures contracts and may realize a loss. When a contract is closed, the Fund records a realized gain or loss equal to the difference between the proceeds from (or cost of) the closing transaction and the Fund’s basis in the contract. With futures, there is minimal counterparty risk to the Fund since futures are exchange traded and the exchange’s clearinghouse, as counterparty to all exchange traded futures, guarantees the futures against default. The use of futures contracts involves the risk of imperfect correlation in movements in the price of the futures contracts, exchange rates and the underlying hedged assets. The Funds did not enter into any futures contracts during the year ended June 30, 2024.
Credit Default Swap Contracts. The Value Opportunities Fund and High Yield Fund may enter into credit default swap agreements for purposes of attempting to obtain a particular desired return at a lower cost to the Fund than if the Fund had invested directly in an instrument that yielded the desired return. The buyer in a credit default swap is obligated to pay the seller a periodic stream of payments over the term of the contract provided no event of default on an underlying reference obligation has occurred. In the event of default, the seller must pay the buyer a net settlement amount in the form of cash or securities equal to the notional amount of the swap less the recovery value of the referenced entity or underlying securities comprising the referenced index. Credit default swaps involve greater risks than if the Fund invested in the reference obligation directly. In addition to general market risks, credit default swaps are subject to illiquidity risk, counterparty risk and credit risk. The Fund’s maximum risk of loss from counterparty risk, either as the protection seller or as the protection buyer, is the fair value of the contract. This risk is mitigated by having a master netting arrangement between the Fund and the counterparty and by the posting of collateral by the counterparty to the Fund to cover the Fund’s exposure to the counterparty.
The Advisor, on behalf of the Value Opportunities Fund and High Yield Fund, is party to an International Swap Dealers Association, Inc. Master Agreement (“ISDA Master Agreement”) with each of Goldman Sachs International and JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. that governs transactions, such as over-the-counter swap contracts, entered into by the Funds and the counterparty. The ISDA Master Agreement contains provisions for general obligations, representations, agreements, collateral and events of default or termination. Events of termination include conditions that may entitle the counterparty to elect to terminate early and cause settlement of all outstanding transactions under the ISDA Master Agreement.
Upon entering into swap agreements, the Value Opportunities Fund and High Yield Fund will either receive or pay an upfront payment based upon the difference between the current principal amount and the notional amount of the swap and whether the Fund is buying or selling protection. Upfront payments that are received are recorded as liabilities while upfront payments paid are recorded as assets. These payments remain on the books until the swap contract is closed. When entering into credit default swaps, the Fund will either deliver collateral to the counterparty or the counterparty will deliver collateral to the Fund. The amount of this collateral is calculated based upon the notional value and the current price of the swap. In the event of default, the Fund has recourse against any collateral posted to it by the counterparty. When entering into swap

agreements as a seller, the notional amounts would be partially offset by any recovery values of the respective reference obligations, upfront payments received upon entering into the agreement, or net amounts received from the settlement of buy protection credit default swap agreements entered into by the Fund for the same reference entity. Unrealized appreciation or depreciation is recorded daily as the difference between the prior day and current day closing price. The Funds did not enter into any credit default swap contracts during the year ended June 30, 2024.

Offsetting Assets and Liabilities. The Funds are subject to various master netting arrangements, which govern the terms of certain transactions with counterparties. The arrangements allow the Funds to close out and net their total exposure to a counterparty in the event of a default with respect to all the transactions governed under a single agreement with a counterparty. For financial reporting purposes, the Funds do not offset financial assets and liabilities that are subject to master netting arrangements in the Statements of Assets & Liabilities.

NOTE 2. Fees and Transactions with Affiliates.
The Trust has entered into Investment Advisory Agreements for each of the Funds with the Advisor, with which certain officers and a Trustee of the Trust are affiliated. The Advisor is a limited liability company, the primary members of which are HWCap Holdings, a limited liability company with members who are current and former employees of the Advisor, and Stephens - H&W, LLC, a limited liability company whose primary member is SF Holding Corp., which is a diversified holding company. The Advisor is responsible for the management of the Funds’ investments and provides the personnel, facilities, equipment and certain other services necessary to the operations of each Fund. The Advisor receives an Advisory fee, computed daily and payable monthly, at the annual rates presented below as applied to each Fund’s daily net assets. During the year ended June 30, 2024, the Advisor contractually agreed to waive its Advisory fees or reimburse regular Fund operating expenses so that a Fund’s annual operating expenses (excluding sales loads, taxes, leverage interest, brokerage commissions, acquired fund fees and expenses, expenses incurred in connection with any merger or reorganization and extraordinary expenses such as litigation) will be limited to the annual rates presented below as applied to such Fund’s and share class’s average daily net assets.

Quasar Distributors, LLC is the principal underwriter and distributor for the shares of the Funds (“Quasar” or the “Distributor”). Pursuant to the Distribution Plan adopted by the Trust in accordance with Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act, the Funds pay the Distributor ongoing distribution and service fees. The fees are accrued daily at the annual rates based upon the average daily net assets of the shares as follows:
| | | |
Class A | | | 0.25% |
Class C | | | 1.00% |
| | | |
Pursuant to separate agreements with the Distributor, selected dealers and other financial intermediaries also provide distribution services to the Funds. The ongoing distribution and service fee compensates the Distributor and selected dealers for providing distribution-related and shareholder services to Class A and Class C shareholders.
Certain selected dealers and other financial intermediaries charge a fee for shareholder accounting services and administrative services that they provide to the Funds on behalf of certain shareholders; the portion of this fee paid by the Funds is included within “Transfer agent fees and expenses” in the Statements of Operations. Class Z shares are not subject to these fees.
The Funds are permitted to purchase securities from or sell securities to another Fund or affiliated person under procedures adopted by the Board. During the year ended June 30, 2024, the Funds did not have any of these purchases and sales.
NOTE 3. Investments.
Purchases and sales of investment securities, excluding short-term investments, for the year ended June 30, 2024 were as follows:

The Funds did not have any purchases or sales of U.S. Government securities for the year ended June 30, 2024.
NOTE 4. Federal Income Taxes
It is each Fund’s policy to comply with the requirements of the Internal Revenue Code applicable to regulated investment companies and each Fund intends to distribute substantially all of its investment company net taxable income and net capital gains to shareholders. Therefore, no federal income tax provision is required. Under the applicable foreign tax law, a withholding tax may be imposed on interest, dividends and capital gains at various rates.
Distributions paid to shareholders are based on net investment income and net realized gains determined on a tax basis, which may differ from net investment income and net realized gains for financial reporting purposes. The fiscal year in which amounts are distributed may differ from the year in which the net investment income and net realized gains are recorded by the Funds for financial reporting purposes. The Funds may utilize earnings and profits distributed to shareholders on redemptions of shares as part of the dividends paid deduction. Generally accepted accounting principles require that permanent financial reporting and tax differences be reclassified within the capital accounts.

NOTE 6. Investments in Affiliated Issuers.
An issuer in which a Fund’s holdings represent 5% or more of the outstanding voting securities of the issuer is an “affiliated” issuer as defined in the 1940 Act. A schedule of each Fund’s investments in securities of affiliated issuers held during the year ended June 30, 2024, is set forth below:

NOTE 7. Securities Lending.
The Trust, on behalf of the Funds, entered into a securities lending arrangement with Brown Brothers Harriman & Co. (the “Custodian”). Under the securities lending agreement, the Custodian is authorized to loan securities on behalf of the Funds to approved brokers. In exchange, the Funds receive cash collateral in the amount of at least 102% of the value of the securities loaned plus accrued interest. The total market value of securities on loan for each Fund is disclosed on the Schedule of Investments. The cash collateral is invested in short-term instruments as noted on the Schedule of Investments. The contractual maturity of the cash collateral received under the securities lending agreement is classified as overnight and continuous. Income earned from these investments is included in “Securities on loan, net” on the Statements of Operations and is allocated to each Fund based on each Fund’s proportion of the total cash collateral received. Securities lending involves counterparty risks, including the risk that the loaned securities may not be returned in a timely manner or at all. Subject to certain conditions, the Custodian has agreed to indemnify the Funds from losses resulting from a borrower’s failure to return a loaned security. In addition, the Funds bear the risk of loss associated with the investment of cash collateral received.
A portion of the income generated by the investment of the collateral, net of any rebates paid by the Custodian to borrowers, is remitted to the Custodian as lending agent, and the remainder is paid to the applicable Fund.
NOTE 8. Commitments and Contingencies.
Under the Trust’s organizational documents and indemnification agreements between each independent Trustee and the Trust, its officers and Trustees are indemnified against certain liabilities arising out of the performance of their duties to the Trust. In addition, in the normal course of business the Trust enters into contracts that contain a variety of representations and warranties, which provide general indemnifications. The Funds’ maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown, as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Funds.
Bridge loan commitments may obligate a Fund to furnish temporary financing to a borrower until permanent financing can be arranged. At June 30, 2024, the Funds did not have any outstanding bridge loan commitments.
Unfunded loan commitments are contractual obligations for funding to a borrower. At June 30, 2024, the Funds did not have any outstanding unfunded loan commitments.
NOTE 9. Risk Factors.
Investing in a Fund may involve certain risks including, but not limited to, those described below. Lower rated debt securities generally have higher rates of interest and involve greater risk of default or price changes due to changes in the issuer’s creditworthiness than higher rated debt securities. The market prices of these securities may fluctuate more than higher quality securities and may decline significantly in periods of general economic difficulty. There may be little trading in the secondary market for particular debt securities, which may make them more difficult to value or sell.
The prices of, and the income generated by, most debt securities held by a Fund may be affected by changing interest rates and by changes in the effective maturities and credit ratings of these securities. For example, the prices of debt securities in a Fund’s portfolio generally will decline when interest rates rise and increase when interest rates fall. In addition, falling interest rates may cause an issuer to redeem, “call” or refinance a security before its stated maturity, which may result in the Fund

having to reinvest the proceeds in lower yielding securities. Debt securities are also subject to credit risk, which is the possibility that the credit strength of an issuer will weaken and/or an issuer of a debt security will fail to make timely payments of principal or interest and the security will go into default. Longer maturity debt securities generally have higher rates of interest and may be subject to greater price fluctuations than shorter maturity debt securities.
Certain Funds may invest in foreign (non-U.S.) securities and may experience more rapid and extreme changes in value than a fund that invests exclusively in securities of U.S. companies. The securities markets of many foreign countries are relatively small, with a limited number of companies representing a small number of industries. Additionally, reporting, accounting and auditing standards of foreign countries differ, in some cases significantly, from U.S. standards. Also, nationalization, expropriation or confiscatory taxation, currency blockage, political changes or diplomatic developments could adversely affect a Fund’s investments in a foreign country.
Certain Funds invest a significant portion of their assets in companies in the financial sector, and therefore the performance of the Funds could be negatively impacted by events affecting this sector. This sector can be significantly affected by changes in interest rates, the rate of corporate and consumer debt defaults, the availability and cost of borrowing and raising capital, reduced credit market liquidity, regulatory changes, price competition, bank failures and other financial crises, and general economic and market conditions.
The Funds are subject to management risk because each Fund is an actively managed investment portfolio. Consequently, the Funds are subject to the risks that the methods and analysis employed by the Advisor may not produce the desired results and result in losses to the Funds.
The prices of, and the income generated by, securities held by a Fund may decline in response to certain events taking place around the world, including those directly involving the issuers whose securities are owned by the Fund. These events can include changes in economic, political or financial market conditions due to war, acts of terrorism, the spread of infectious illness or other public health issues, financial crises, and recessions, as well as investor sentiment regarding these issues.
Certain funds, accounts, individuals or affiliates may from time to time own (beneficially or of record) or control a significant percentage of a Fund’s shares. Redemptions by these entities of their holdings in the Fund may impact the Fund’s liquidity and net asset value (“NAV”). These redemptions may also force the Fund to sell securities.
NOTE 10. Class C Shares.
The Board approved closing the Class C shares of the Diversified Value Fund, Large Cap Value Fund, Mid-Cap Value Fund and High Yield Fund and converting Class C shares to Class A shares of each respective Fund effective on May 31, 2024 (the “Conversion”). The Conversion was accomplished by a tax-free exchange of Class C shares for Class A shares in the following amounts and at the following conversion ratios:
| | | | | | | | | |
Diversified Value | | | $585,816 | | | 18,764 | | | 1.001636 | | | 18,795 |
Large Cap Value | | | 2,928,480 | | | 67,703 | | | 0.991691 | | | 67,140 |
Mid-Cap Value | | | 3,965,899 | | | 85,609 | | | 0.856339 | | | 73,310 |
High Yield | | | 474,575 | | | 45,557 | | | 1.009252 | | | 45,979 |
| | | | | | | | | | | | |
NOTE 11. New Accounting Pronouncements.
In June 2022, FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2022-03, Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820): Fair Value Measurement of Equity Securities Subject to Contractual Sale Restrictions. The amendments in this update clarify the guidance in Topic 820 when measuring the fair value of an equity security subject to contractual sale restrictions and introduce new disclosure requirements related to such equity securities. The amendments are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, with early adoption permitted. Management is currently evaluating the impact of this guidance on the Funds’ financial statements.

Opinion on the Financial Statements and Financial Highlights
We have audited the accompanying statements of assets & liabilities of Hotchkis & Wiley Funds (the “Funds”) comprising the Diversified Value Fund, Large Cap Value Fund, Mid-Cap Value Fund, Small Cap Value Fund, Small Cap Diversified Value Fund, Global Value Fund, International Value Fund, International Small Cap Diversified Value Fund, Value Opportunities Fund, and High Yield Fund, including the schedules of investments, as of June 30, 2024, the related statements of operations for the year then ended, the statements of changes in net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended, the financial highlights for each of the five years in the period then ended (as to International Small Cap Diversified Value Fund, the financial highlights for each of the three years in the period ended June 30, 2024, and for the period from June 30, 2020 (commencement of operations) through June 30, 2021), and the related notes.
In our opinion, the financial statements and financial highlights present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of each of the Funds constituting Hotchkis & Wiley Funds, as of June 30, 2024, and the results of their operations for the year then ended, the changes in their net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended, and the financial highlights for each of the five years in the period then ended (as to International Small Cap Diversified Value Fund, the financial highlights for each of the three years in the period ended June 30, 2024, and for the period from June 30, 2020 (commencement of operations) through June 30, 2021), in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
Basis for Opinion
These financial statements and financial highlights are the responsibility of the Funds’ management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Funds’ financial statements and financial highlights based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB) and are required to be independent with respect to the Funds in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements and financial highlights are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Funds are not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of their internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audits we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Funds’ internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.
Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements and financial highlights, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements and financial highlights. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements and financial highlights. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of June 30, 2024, by correspondence with the custodian and brokers; when replies were not received from brokers, we performed other auditing procedures. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

Board Considerations In Approving Continuation of Investment Advisory Agreements
Background and Approval Process. Hotchkis and Wiley Capital Management, LLC (the “Advisor”) serves as investment adviser to the Hotchkis and Wiley Diversified Value Fund, the Hotchkis and Wiley Large Cap Value Fund, the Hotchkis and Wiley Mid-Cap Value Fund, the Hotchkis and Wiley Small Cap Value Fund, the Hotchkis and Wiley Small Cap Diversified Value Fund, the Hotchkis and Wiley Global Value Fund, the Hotchkis and Wiley International Value Fund, the Hotchkis and Wiley International Small Cap Diversified Value Fund, the Hotchkis and Wiley Value Opportunities Fund and the Hotchkis and Wiley High Yield Fund (each a “Fund” and collectively the “Funds”) pursuant to separate investment advisory agreements (the “Advisory Agreements”) with the Hotchkis and Wiley Funds (the “Trust”), of which each Fund is a series. The Advisory Agreements were initially approved by the Board of Trustees of the Trust at the inception of each Fund and continue thereafter if approved annually by the Board of Trustees of the Trust, including a majority of the Trustees who are not “interested persons” (as defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”)) (the “Independent Trustees”). The Advisory Agreements for each Fund were renewed by the Board at a meeting held in May 2024.
As part of the annual contract review process, the Independent Trustees, through their independent legal counsel, requested and received extensive materials, including information relating to: (i) the nature, extent and quality of services provided by the Advisor, (ii) short-term and longer-term total return of each Fund relative to its respective peer group and benchmark index(es), (iii) the advisory fees and expense ratios of each Fund as compared to the advisory fees and expense ratios of funds in its peer group, (iv) the costs of the services provided and the Advisor’s estimated profitability with respect to the management of each Fund, (v) the extent to which the Advisor has in the past, or is likely in the future, to experience economies of scale in connection with the investment advisory services it provides to each Fund, and (vi) fall-out benefits to the Advisor from its relationship with the Funds.
The Independent Trustees met with their independent legal counsel prior to the May 2024 Board meeting to review the materials provided by the Advisor and were advised regarding their fiduciary duties pertaining to renewal of investment advisory contracts and the factors they should consider in evaluating advisory agreements. The Independent Trustees, through their legal counsel, then provided follow-up questions to the Advisor which were addressed by the Advisor. The Independent Trustees noted that the information provided by the Advisor was thorough and responsive to their requests. The information provided in response to their requests was in addition to information received by the Board throughout the year, both in writing and during meetings, regarding the Funds, including Fund performance, expense ratios, portfolio composition and regulatory compliance.
At the May 2024 Board meeting, representatives of the Advisor discussed the Independent Trustees’ requests and follow-up questions with the Board and responded to further questions. The Board determined that, given the totality of the information provided with respect to the Advisory Agreements, the Board had received sufficient information to renew each Advisory Agreement.
In deciding to approve the renewal of each Advisory Agreement, the Board did not identify any single factor or group of factors as all-important or controlling, and considered a variety of factors in its analysis including those discussed below. The Board did not allot a particular weight to any one factor or group of factors.
Nature, Extent and Quality of Services. As part of the Board’s decision-making process, the Board noted that the Advisor and its predecessors have managed the Funds and their predecessors since their inception, and the Board believes that a long-term relationship with a capable, conscientious investment adviser is in the best interests of the Funds. The Board also considered that shareholders invest in a Fund specifically seeking the Advisor’s investment expertise and style. The Board also noted that when shareholders invest in a Fund, they know the advisory fee that is paid by the Fund. In this connection, the Board considered, in particular, that each Fund is managed in accordance with its investment objective and policies as disclosed to shareholders.
The Board reviewed information regarding various services provided by the Advisor to the Funds, including an organizational chart and background information on personnel performing such services. The Board also reviewed each Fund’s performance and information regarding the Advisor’s investment approach, which is driven by team-oriented, in-depth, fundamental research. The Board considered the depth and quality of the Advisor’s investment process, the low turnover rates of the Advisor’s key personnel, the overall stability of the Advisor’s organization, and the experience, capability and integrity of its senior management. The Board also considered the portfolio managers’ significant investments in the Funds. The Board considered the Trust’s compliance program and the resultant compliance by the Funds and the Advisor with legal requirements.

Board Considerations In Approving Continuation of Investment Advisory Agreements (Continued)
The Board also considered other non-advisory services provided by the Advisor to the Funds, such as the services of Advisor employees as Trust officers and other personnel provided that are necessary for Fund operations. The Board noted that the Advisor organizes Board meetings and the preparation of Board meeting materials, and those Advisor employees serving as Trust officers oversee and manage the other Fund service providers.
Based on its review, the Board concluded that the nature, extent and quality of services provided to each Fund under its Advisory Agreement were satisfactory.
Investment Performance of the Funds and the Advisor. The Board noted that it reviews data on the short-term and longer-term total returns of the Funds in connection with each quarterly Board meeting. For the contract review meeting, the Board reviewed a report prepared by the Trust’s administrator (the “Report”) using information provided by Morningstar, Inc., an independent provider of mutual fund data, that compared the annualized total returns of Class I shares of each Fund to the median annualized total returns of a group of funds that are similar, primarily in terms of investment style (each a “Peer Group”), and to the annualized total returns of the Fund’s primary and secondary (for Funds that have secondary benchmarks) benchmark indexes for the one-, three-, five- and ten-year periods, as applicable, ended December 31, 2023 and for the three- and six-month, one-, three-, five- and ten-year periods, as applicable, ended March 31, 2024. The Board noted that the Peer Groups were reviewed and selected by the Advisor based on its criteria to determine an appropriate group of competitor funds. In addition, data regarding performance of the Peer Group is provided at each quarterly Board meeting.
The Board noted that all Funds outperformed the median returns of their respective primary benchmarks for the one-, three-, and five-year periods ended December 31, 2023, except that the Global Value Fund and the High Yield Fund underperformed their respective primary benchmarks for the five-year period. The Board also noted that all Funds outperformed the median returns of their respective Peer Groups for the one-, three- and five-year periods ended December 31, 2023, except that the High Yield Fund underperformed the median return of its Peer Group for the five-year period and the Small Cap Diversified Value Fund underperformed the median return of its Peer Group for the one-year period. The Board also considered that the International Small Cap Diversified Value Fund commenced operations on June 30, 2020 and did not have five years of performance history as of December 31, 2023. The Board considered that the Advisor had been consistent in its approach to managing the Funds. The Board concluded that the Advisor’s services in managing each Fund’s portfolio were satisfactory.
Fees, Expenses and Profitability. The Board reviewed advisory fee and expense data using information provided by Morningstar, Inc., contained in the Report, including information regarding applicable expense limitations for the Funds’ Class I shares. The Board reviewed data in the Report showing how each Fund’s advisory fee and Class I shares’ expense ratio compared to those of the funds in its Peer Group using similar share classes. The Board also reviewed information provided by the Advisor on management fees charged by the Advisor for sub-advisory services it provides to other mutual funds and management fees it charges to its separate account clients with investment objectives and policies similar to those of the Funds. The Board considered a list of the many additional functions that the Advisor performs for the Funds that the Advisor does not perform for its separate account and sub-advisory clients, and noted it is generally acknowledged that managing mutual funds subjects an investment adviser to more legal and regulatory risk than is the case with separate accounts.
With respect to the advisory fee for each Fund, the Board noted that the Report showed that the Diversified Value, Large Cap Value, Small Cap Diversified Value, and Value Opportunities Funds’ contractual advisory fees were higher than the median contractual advisory fees of their respective Peer Groups, that the Small Cap Value, Global Value, and International Small Cap Diversified Value Funds’ contractual advisory fees were lower than the median contractual advisory fees of their respective Peer Groups, and that the Mid-Cap Value, International Value, and High Yield Funds’ contractual advisory fees were the same as the median contractual advisory fees of their respective Peer Groups. The Board also noted that the net expense ratios, after implementation of the expense caps for the Class I shares of all the Funds except the Small Cap Diversified Value Fund, International Small Cap Diversified Value Fund and High Yield Fund were above the median net expense ratio of their Peer Group. The Board noted that the Advisor uses a fundamental research-intensive process. The Board considered the expense caps put in place by the Advisor for each Fund (as further described below). The Board concluded that the advisory fee was fair and reasonable for each Fund in light of the nature, extent and quality of services provided by the Advisor.
The Board reviewed information concerning the estimated profitability to the Advisor of the Advisory Agreements, including information regarding the methodology for allocating expenses. The Board reviewed data regarding the Advisor’s variable expenses and fixed expenses. The Board considered that in 2023, as in recent prior years, the Advisor had absorbed

Board Considerations In Approving Continuation of Investment Advisory Agreements (Continued)
costs above expense caps for which it would not be reimbursed for the Diversified Value, Large Cap Value, Small Cap Value, Small Cap Diversified Value, Global Value, International Value, International Small Cap Diversified Value and High Yield Funds. The Board considered that the Advisor has agreed to continue the expense caps for the share classes of each Fund through at least August 29, 2025. The Board also recognized that individual fund or product line profitability of other advisers is generally not publicly available, and that profitability may be affected by numerous factors, so that the comparability of profitability among advisory firms is limited. The Board noted the importance of the Advisor’s profitability—which is derived solely from investment management fees – in maintaining its entrepreneurial environment in a private, primarily employee-owned structure. The Board also noted that the Advisor’s compensation/profit structure facilitates retention of its management and investment professionals. The Board concluded that the level of estimated profitability to the Advisor under the Advisory Agreements was not unreasonable.
Economies of Scale and Whether Fee Levels Reflect These Economies of Scale. The Board reviewed the information provided by the Advisor as to the extent to which it has in the past or is likely in the future to realize economies of scale in connection with the investment advisory services it provides as each Fund grows. The Board noted the low level of assets under management in certain Funds. The Board considered that the breakpoints in the Diversified Value, Large Cap Value, and Mid-Cap Value Funds’ advisory fee schedules can enable shareholders to share in economies of scale. The Board considered the amount of advisory fees that the Advisor waived and Fund operating expenses that the Advisor reimbursed in 2023 to the benefit of certain Funds and their shareholders. The Board also considered information regarding the investment, compliance and client service personnel employed by the Advisor. The Board concluded that after taking into consideration the factors above, that each Fund’s fee was appropriate.
Fall-Out Benefits to the Advisor from its Relationship to the Funds. The Board considered information regarding any indirect benefits to the Advisor that could be identified from its relationship to the Funds. In particular, the Board considered that the Advisor has the ability to use commission sharing arrangements that allow the Advisor to pay for third-party research using soft dollars from the equity Funds’ commissions as well as other clients of the Advisor. The Board considered that the bundled research services and the use of commission sharing arrangements provides valuable information or service to the Advisor’s investment research process, which benefits the Funds (as well as the Advisor who uses (or can use) the research for the benefit of the Advisor’s other clients). The Board also considered that the Advisor indirectly benefits from the Funds’ payment of sub-transfer agency expenses.
* * * *
Based on its review, including its consideration of each of the factors referred to above, the Board, including all of the Independent Trustees, concluded that the terms of each Advisory Agreement are fair and reasonable and that the renewal of each Fund’s Advisory Agreement is in the best interests of the Fund.

Notes to the Financial Statements
June 30, 2024
NOTE 1. Organization.
Hotchkis & Wiley Funds (the “Trust”) is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”), as an open-end, management investment company. The Trust was organized as a Delaware statutory trust on July 23, 2001 and consists of eleven series, including the HW Opportunities MP Fund (the “Fund”). The Fund is a non-diversified series of the Trust. Immediately prior to the Fund’s commencement of operations, the assets and liabilities of the HW Opportunities MP Fund, a series of Series Portfolios Trust (the “Predecessor Fund”), were acquired by the Fund in a tax-free reorganization as set forth in an agreement and plan of reorganization between the Trust, on behalf of the Fund, and Series Portfolios Trust, on behalf of the Predecessor Fund (the “Reorganization”). The Reorganization occurred after the close of business on December 15, 2023. As of December 15, 2023, the Predecessor Fund’s net assets were $50,954,652, shares outstanding were 3,570,165.790 and NAV was $14.27. As a result of the Reorganization, the performance and accounting history of the Predecessor Fund was assumed by the Fund. All Reorganization costs were borne by Hotchkis & Wiley Capital Management, LLC (the “Advisor”). The Predecessor Fund commenced operations on December 30, 2020. The other series of the Trust are included in a separate report.
Shareholders should be aware that the Fund pays no management fees or operating expenses under its investment advisory and expense reimbursement agreements with the Advisor. However, Fund shares are only offered to participants in separately managed account programs who pay fees to program sponsors for the costs and expenses of the programs, including fees for investment advice, custody and portfolio execution. When a program participant, alone or with his or her program sponsor, elects to allocate assets to an investment strategy managed or advised by the Advisor, the Advisor typically receives a fee from the program sponsor for providing such management or advisory services to the managed account, including with respect to assets that may be invested in the Fund. In certain cases, a program participant will pay a fee for investment advice directly to the advisor in its capacity as manager to the participant’s managed account.
Significant Accounting Policies. The Fund’s financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”), which may require the use of management accruals and estimates. Actual results could differ from those estimates and those differences could be significant. The Fund is an investment company and accordingly follows the investment company accounting and reporting guidance of the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standard Codification Topic 946 “Financial Services – Investment Companies”. The following is a summary of significant accounting policies followed by the Fund.
Security Valuation. Equity securities traded on a national stock exchange or Nasdaq Global Markets, Nasdaq Select Market and the Nasdaq Capital Markets (together, “Nasdaq”) are valued at the last reported sale price or Nasdaq Official Closing Price, as applicable, on that day, or, in the absence of recorded sales, at the average of the last bid and asked quotation on such exchange or Nasdaq. Over-the-counter securities not traded on Nasdaq are valued at the last sale price on the valuation day, or if the last sale price is unavailable, at the average of the quoted bid and asked prices in the over-the-counter market. Foreign equity securities (which are principally traded in markets other than the U.S.) are valued based upon the last reported sale price on the primary exchange or market on which they trade as of the close of business of such exchange or market immediately preceding the time of determining the Fund’s net asset value. Any Fund assets or liabilities initially valued in terms of non-U.S. dollar currencies are translated into U.S. dollars at the prevailing foreign currency exchange market rates as provided by an independent Pricing Service.
The Trust’s Board of Trustees (the “Board”) has designated the Advisor as the Fund’s “valuation designee” to perform all fair valuations of the Fund’s portfolio investments, subject to the Board’s oversight. The Advisor, as the Fund’s valuation designee, has established procedures for its fair valuation of the Fund’s portfolio investments, which address, among other things, determining when market quotations are not readily available or reliable and certain methodologies for the fair valuation of such portfolio investments, as well as the use and oversight of Pricing Services.
Fixed-income securities are generally valued at their evaluated mean prices provided by Pricing Services. Pricing Services generally provide an evaluated price that takes into account appropriate factors such as institutional-sized trading in similar groups of securities, yield, quality, coupon rate, maturity, type of issue, trading characteristics, and other market data, and may provide a price determined by a matrix pricing method or other analytical pricing models. If valuations from the Pricing Services are unavailable or deemed unreliable, the fixed-income security shall be priced according to the average of the bid and ask prices of broker quotes (or a single broker quote) for such security or the last sale price reported on FINRA’s Trade Reporting and Compliance Engine (“TRACE”) (excluding cross and retail trades).

For portfolio holdings which trade in markets that close prior to the close of trading on the New York Stock Exchange (which is generally 4:00 p.m. Eastern time), the Fund generally utilizes a Pricing Service’s fair value price which is designed to capture events occurring after a foreign exchange closes that may affect the value of certain portfolio holdings traded on those foreign exchanges. When this fair value pricing is employed, the value of the portfolio holdings used to calculate the Fund’s net asset value may differ from quoted or official closing prices.
The Fund has performed an analysis of all existing investments to determine the significance and character of all inputs to their fair value determination. Various inputs are used in determining the value of the Fund’s investments. These inputs are summarized in the following three broad categories:
Level 1 –
Quoted unadjusted prices for identical instruments in active markets to which the Fund has access at the date of measurement.
Level 2 –
Other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar instruments, interest rates, current yields, credit quality, prepayment speeds for mortgage related securities, collateral for asset-backed securities, foreign security indices, foreign exchange rates, fair value estimates for foreign securities, and changes in benchmark securities indices). Level 2 inputs are those in markets for which there are few transactions, the prices are not current, little public information exists or instances where prices vary substantially over time or among brokered market makers.
Level 3 –
Significant unobservable inputs including model derived valuations in which one or more significant inputs or significant value drivers are unobservable. Unobservable inputs are those inputs that reflect assumptions that market participants would use to price the asset or liability based on the best available information.
The following table presents the valuation levels of the Fund’s assets as of June 30, 2024:
| | | | | | | | | | | | |
Common Stocks | | | $47,551,121 | | | $11,659,573 | | | $ — | | | $59,210,694 |

| | | | | | | | | | | | |
Please refer to the Schedule of Investments for additional information regarding the composition of the amounts listed above.
Expense Allocation. Expenses incurred by or attributable to the Fund are allocated entirely to the Fund. Expenses incurred by the Trust which do not relate to a specific series of the Trust are allocated among the series of the Trust per capita. Alternatively, such expenses may be allocated based upon the series’ relative net assets as of a recent date or using another methodology based upon a determination by persons authorized by the Board, including either the President or Treasurer of the Trust, that the alternative allocation methodology is fair and equitable taking into consideration the nature and type of the expense.
Dividends and Distributions to Shareholders. Dividends and distributions to shareholders are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Dividends from net investment income are declared and paid annually for the Fund. Distributions of net realized capital gains, if any, will be declared and paid at least annually.
Security Transactions and Investment Income. Security and shareholder transactions are recorded on trade date. Realized gains and losses on sales of investments are calculated on the specifically identified cost basis of the securities. Dividend income, less foreign taxes withheld, if any, is recorded on the ex-dividend date. Interest income is recognized on the accrual basis. Market discounts and original issue discounts on fixed-income securities are amortized daily over the expected life of the security using the effective yield method. Market premiums on fixed-income securities are amortized daily on the yield to the next call method. Return of capital distributions received from real estate investment trust (“REIT”) securities are recorded as an adjustment to the cost of the security and thus may impact unrealized gains or losses on the security.

Securities purchased or sold on a when-issued, delayed delivery or forward commitment basis may have extended settlement periods. The value of the security purchased is subject to market fluctuations during this period.
Foreign Currency Transactions. Securities and other assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollar amounts at the date of valuation. Purchases and sales of securities and income and expense items denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollar amounts on the respective dates of such transactions. The Fund isolates the portion of realized gains or losses and does not isolate the portion of unrealized appreciation or depreciation resulting from changes in foreign exchange rates on securities from the fluctuations arising from changes in market prices of securities held. Reported net realized foreign exchange gains or losses arise from sales of securities, currency gains or losses realized between the trade and settlement dates on securities transactions and the difference between the amounts of dividends, interest and foreign withholding taxes recorded on the Fund’s books and the U.S. dollar equivalent of the amounts actually received or paid.
Payment In-Kind Securities. The Fund may invest in payment in-kind securities. Payment in-kind securities give the issuer the option at each interest payment date of making interest payments in either cash or additional debt securities. Those additional debt securities usually have the same terms, including maturity dates and interest rates, and associated risks as the original bonds. The daily market quotations of the original bonds may include the accrued interest (referred to as a dirty price) and may require a pro-rata adjustment to interest receivable from the unrealized appreciation or depreciation of securities on the Statement of Assets & Liabilities.
Restricted and Illiquid Securities. The Fund may invest in securities that are subject to legal or contractual restrictions on resale or are illiquid. Restricted securities generally may be resold in transactions exempt from registration. An illiquid security is an investment that the 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 market value of the investment. Disposal of these securities may involve time-consuming negotiations and expense, and prompt sale at the current valuation may be difficult.
Options. The Fund is subject to equity price risk in the normal course of pursuing its investment objective. The Fund may purchase put options on securities to protect holdings in an underlying or related security against a substantial decline in market value. The Fund may purchase call options on securities and security indexes. The Fund may write a call or put option only if the option is “covered” by the Fund holding a position in the underlying securities or by other means which would permit immediate satisfaction of the Fund’s obligation as writer of the option. Prior to exercise or expiration, an option may be closed by an offsetting purchase or sale of an option of the same series. The purchase and writing of options involves certain risks. If a put or call option purchased by the Fund is not sold when it has remaining value, and if the market price of the underlying security, in the case of a put, remains equal to or greater than the exercise price or, in the case of a call, remains less than or equal to the exercise price, the Fund will lose its entire investment in the option. There can be no assurance that a liquid market will exist when the Fund seeks to close out an option position. Furthermore, if trading restrictions or suspensions are imposed on the options markets, the Fund may be unable to close out a position. With options, there is minimal counterparty risk to the Fund since options are exchange traded and the exchange’s clearinghouse, as counterparty to all exchange traded options, guarantees the options against default.
When the Fund purchases a put or call option, an amount equal to the premium paid is included on the Statement of Assets & Liabilities as an investment, and is subsequently adjusted to reflect the fair market value of the option. If an option expires on the stipulated expiration date or if the Fund enters into a closing sale transaction, a gain or loss is realized. If the Fund exercises a put option, a gain or loss is realized from the sale of the underlying security, and the proceeds from such sale are decreased by the premium originally paid for the put option. If the Fund exercises a call option, the cost of the security acquired is increased by the premium paid for the call option.
Futures Contracts. The Fund is subject to foreign currency exchange rate risk in the normal course of pursuing its investment objective. The Fund may use futures contracts to gain exposure to, or hedge against, changes in the value of foreign currencies. A futures contract provides for the future sale by one party and purchase by another party of an asset at a specified price on a specified date. Upon entering into such contracts, the Fund is required to deposit with the broker, either in cash or securities, an initial margin deposit in an amount equal to a certain percentage of the contract amount. Subsequent payments (variation margin) are made or received by the Fund each day, depending on the daily fluctuations in the value of the contract, and are recorded for financial statement purposes as unrealized gains or losses by the Fund. Upon entering into such contracts,

the Fund bears the risk of exchange rates moving unexpectedly, in which case the Fund may not achieve the anticipated benefits of the futures contracts and may realize a loss. When a contract is closed, the Fund records a realized gain or loss equal to the difference between the proceeds from (or cost of) the closing transaction and the Fund’s basis in the contract. With futures, there is minimal counterparty risk to the Fund since futures are exchange traded and the exchange’s clearinghouse, as counterparty to all exchange traded futures, guarantees the futures against default. The use of futures contracts involves the risk of imperfect correlation in movements in the price of the futures contracts, exchange rates and the underlying hedged assets. The Fund did not enter into any futures contracts during the year ended June 30, 2024.
Derivative Instruments. The Fund has adopted authoritative standards regarding disclosures about derivatives and how they affect the Fund’s Statement of Assets & Liabilities and Statement of Operations.

Offsetting Assets and Liabilities. The Fund is subject to various master netting arrangements, which govern the terms of certain transactions with counterparties. The arrangements allow the Fund to close out and net its total exposure to a counterparty in the event of a default with respect to all the transactions governed under a single agreement with a counterparty. For financial reporting purposes, the Fund does not offset financial assets and liabilities that are subject to master netting arrangements in the Statement of Assets & Liabilities. The Fund was not subject to offsetting arrangements as of June 30, 2024.

NOTE 2. Fees and Transactions with Affiliates.
The Fund has entered into an Investment Advisory Agreement with the Advisor, with which certain officers and a Trustee of the Trust are affiliated. The Advisor is a limited liability company, the primary members of which are HWCap Holdings, a limited liability company with members who are current and former employees of the Advisor, and Stephens - H&W, LLC, a limited liability company whose primary member is SF Holding Corp., which is a diversified holding company. The Advisor is responsible for the management of the Fund’s investments and provides the personnel, facilities, equipment and certain other services necessary to the operations of the Fund. The Advisor does not charge a management fee for advisory services to the Fund. Shareholders should be aware, however, that the Fund is an integral part of separately managed account programs, and the Advisor and its affiliates are compensated directly or indirectly by separately managed account program sponsors or program participants for managed account advisory services. The Advisor has contractually agreed to reimburse 100% of the Fund’s operating expenses (other than any front-end or contingent deferred sales loads, taxes, leverage interest, brokerage commissions, acquired fund fees and expenses, expenses incurred in connection with any merger or reorganization, or extraordinary expenses such as litigation).
Quasar Distributors, LLC is the principal underwriter and distributor for the shares of the Fund (“Quasar” or the “Distributor”). The Fund does not have a Rule 12b-1 plan and therefore Quasar’s fees are paid by the Advisor.
The Fund is permitted to purchase securities from or sell securities to another fund in the Trust or affiliated person under procedures adopted by the Board. During the year ended June 30, 2024, the Fund did not have any of these purchases and sales.
NOTE 3. Investments.
Purchases and sales of investment securities, excluding short-term investments, for the year ended June 30, 2024 were $56,116,081 and $49,266,513, respectively. The Fund did not have any purchases or sales of U.S. Government securities for the year ended June 30, 2024.
NOTE 4. Federal Income Taxes.
It is the Fund’s policy to comply with the requirements of the Internal Revenue Code applicable to regulated investment companies and the Fund intends to distribute substantially all of its investment company net taxable income and net capital gains to shareholders. Therefore, no federal income tax provision is required. Under the applicable foreign tax law, a withholding tax may be imposed on interest, dividends and capital gains at various rates.
Distributions paid to shareholders are based on net investment income and net realized gains determined on a tax basis, which may differ from net investment income and net realized gains for financial reporting purposes. The fiscal year in which amounts are distributed may differ from the year in which the net investment income and net realized gains are recorded by the Fund for financial reporting purposes. The Fund may utilize earnings and profits distributed to shareholders on redemptions of shares as part of the dividends paid deduction. Generally accepted accounting principles require that permanent financial reporting and tax differences be reclassified within the capital accounts.
The following information is presented on an income tax basis as of June 30, 2024:
| | | |
Tax cost of investments | | | $ 60,872,979 |
Gross unrealized appreciation | | | 6,834,232 |
Gross unrealized depreciation | | | (3,531,347) |

NOTE 6. Commitments and Contingencies.
Under the Trust’s organizational documents and indemnification agreements between each independent Trustee and the Trust, its officers and Trustees are indemnified against certain liabilities arising out of the performance of their duties to the Trust. In addition, in the normal course of business the Trust enters into contracts that contain a variety of representations and warranties, which provide general indemnifications. The Fund’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown, as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Fund.
NOTE 7. Risk Factors.
Investing in the Fund may involve certain risks including, but not limited to, those described below.
Lower rated debt securities generally have higher rates of interest and involve greater risk of default or price changes due to changes in the issuer’s creditworthiness than higher rated debt securities. The market prices of these securities may fluctuate more than higher quality securities and may decline significantly in periods of general economic difficulty. There may be little trading in the secondary market for particular debt securities, which may make them more difficult to value or sell.
The prices of, and the income generated by, most debt securities held by the Fund may be affected by changing interest rates and by changes in the effective maturities and credit ratings of these securities. For example, the prices of debt securities in the Fund’s portfolio generally will decline when interest rates rise and increase when interest rates fall. In addition, falling interest rates may cause an issuer to redeem, “call” or refinance a security before its stated maturity, which may result in the Fund having to reinvest the proceeds in lower yielding securities. Debt securities are also subject to credit risk, which is the possibility that the credit strength of an issuer will weaken and/or an issuer of a debt security will fail to make timely payments of principal or interest and the security will go into default. Longer maturity debt securities generally have higher rates of interest and may be subject to greater price fluctuations than shorter maturity debt securities.
The Fund may invest in foreign (non-U.S.) securities and may experience more rapid and extreme changes in value than a fund that invests exclusively in securities of U.S. companies. The securities markets of many foreign countries are relatively

small, with a limited number of companies representing a small number of industries. Additionally, reporting, accounting and auditing standards of foreign countries differ, in some cases significantly, from U.S. standards. Also, nationalization, expropriation or confiscatory taxation, currency blockage, political changes or diplomatic developments could adversely affect the Fund’s investments in a foreign country.
The Fund may invest a significant portion of its assets in companies in the financial sector, and therefore the performance of the Fund could be negatively impacted by events affecting this sector. This sector can be significantly affected by changes in interest rates, the rate of corporate and consumer debt defaults, the availability and cost of borrowing and raising capital, reduced credit market liquidity, regulatory changes, price competition, bank failures and other financial crises, and general economic and market conditions.
The Fund is subject to management risk because the Fund is an actively managed investment portfolio. Consequently, the Fund is subject to the risks that the methods and analysis employed by the Advisor may not produce the desired results and result in losses to the Fund.
The prices of, and the income generated by, securities held by the Fund may decline in response to certain events taking place around the world, including those directly involving the issuers whose securities are owned by the Fund. These events can include changes in economic, political or financial market conditions due to war, acts of terrorism, the spread of infectious illness or other public health issues, financial crises, and recessions, as well as investor sentiment regarding these issues.
Certain funds, accounts, individuals or affiliates may from time to time own (beneficially or of record) or control a significant percentage of the Fund’s shares. Redemptions by these entities of their holdings in the Fund may impact the Fund’s liquidity and net asset value (“NAV”). These redemptions may also force the Fund to sell securities.
NOTE 8. New Accounting Pronouncements.
In June 2022, FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2022-03, Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820): Fair Value Measurement of Equity Securities Subject to Contractual Sale Restrictions. The amendments in this update clarify the guidance in Topic 820 when measuring the fair value of an equity security subject to contractual sale restrictions and introduce new disclosure requirements related to such equity securities. The amendments are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, with early adoption permitted. Management is currently evaluating the impact of this guidance on the Fund’s financial statements.
NOTE 9. Report of the Special Meeting of Shareholders.
A special meeting of the shareholders (the “Special Meeting”) of the Predecessor Fund was held on December 8, 2023 to approve the proposed Agreement and Plan of Reorganization (the “Agreement”) providing for (a) the acquisition of all of the assets of the Predecessor Fund, a series of Series Portfolios Trust, by the Fund, a newly organized series of the Trust, in exchange for shares of the Fund and the assumption by the Fund of all liabilities of the Predecessor Fund and (b) the subsequent termination, and dissolution of the Predecessor Fund (together (a) and (b) are referred to as the “Reorganization”).
Shareholders of record of the Predecessor Fund as of the close of business on the record date of September 29, 2023 were entitled to vote at the Special Meeting. The number of outstanding shares of the Predecessor Fund on the record date were 3,384,211.790 shares.
Of the 3,238,922.790 shares of the Predecessor Fund present in person or by proxy at the Special Meeting on December 8, 2023, all shares voted in favor of the Reorganization (representing 95.706% of total shares outstanding). Accordingly, the Reorganization was approved.
NOTE 10. Change in Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm.
As a result of the Reorganization after the close of business on December 15, 2023, there was a change in accountants from Cohen & Company, Ltd., the Predecessor Fund’s independent registered public accounting firm, to Deloitte & Touche LLP, the independent registered public accounting firm that the Board selected for the Fund at a meeting held on August 15, 2023, upon the recommendation of the Trust’s Audit Committee.

Opinion on the Financial Statements and Financial Highlights
We have audited the accompanying statement of assets & liabilities, including the schedule of investments, of HW Opportunities MP Fund (the “Fund”), one of the funds constituting the Hotchkis & Wiley Funds (the “Trust”), as of June 30, 2024, the related statement of operations, the statements of changes in net assets, and the financial highlights for the year then ended, and the related notes.
In our opinion, the 2024 financial statements and financial highlights present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Fund, as of June 30, 2024, and the results of its operations, the changes in its net assets, and the financial highlights for the year then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
The statement of changes in net assets for the year ended June 30, 2023 and financial highlights for the years ended June 30, 2023, June 30, 2022, and for the period from December 30, 2020 (commencement of operations) through June 30, 2021, were audited by other auditors whose report, dated August 25, 2023, expressed an unqualified opinion on those statements.
Basis for Opinion
These financial statements and financial highlights are the responsibility of the Fund’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Fund’s financial statements and financial highlights based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB) and are required to be independent with respect to the Fund in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements and financial highlights are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Fund is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of their internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audits we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Fund’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.
Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements and financial highlights, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements and financial highlights. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements and financial highlights. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of June 30, 2024, by correspondence with the custodian and brokers; when replies were not received from brokers, we performed other auditing procedures. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

Item 8. Changes in and Disagreements with Accountants for Open-End Management Investment Companies.
As a result of the Reorganization of the HW Opportunities MP Fund (the “Fund”) after the close of business on December 15, 2023, there was a change in accountants from Cohen & Company, Ltd., the Predecessor Fund’s independent registered public accounting firm, to Deloitte & Touche LLP, the independent registered public accounting firm that the Board selected for the Fund at a meeting held on August 15, 2023, upon the recommendation of the Trust’s Audit Committee.

Board Considerations In Approving Continuation of Investment Advisory Agreements
Background and Approval Process. Hotchkis and Wiley Capital Management, LLC (the “Advisor”) serves as investment adviser to the Hotchkis and Wiley Diversified Value Fund, the Hotchkis and Wiley Large Cap Value Fund, the Hotchkis and Wiley Mid-Cap Value Fund, the Hotchkis and Wiley Small Cap Value Fund, the Hotchkis and Wiley Small Cap Diversified Value Fund, the Hotchkis and Wiley Global Value Fund, the Hotchkis and Wiley International Value Fund, the Hotchkis and Wiley International Small Cap Diversified Value Fund, the Hotchkis and Wiley Value Opportunities Fund and the Hotchkis and Wiley High Yield Fund (each a “Fund” and collectively the “Funds”) pursuant to separate investment advisory agreements (the “Advisory Agreements”) with the Hotchkis and Wiley Funds (the “Trust”), of which each Fund is a series. The Advisory Agreements were initially approved by the Board of Trustees of the Trust at the inception of each Fund and continue thereafter if approved annually by the Board of Trustees of the Trust, including a majority of the Trustees who are not “interested persons” (as defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”)) (the “Independent Trustees”). The Advisory Agreements for each Fund were renewed by the Board at a meeting held in May 2024.
As part of the annual contract review process, the Independent Trustees, through their independent legal counsel, requested and received extensive materials, including information relating to: (i) the nature, extent and quality of services provided by the Advisor, (ii) short-term and longer-term total return of each Fund relative to its respective peer group and benchmark index(es), (iii) the advisory fees and expense ratios of each Fund as compared to the advisory fees and expense ratios of funds in its peer group, (iv) the costs of the services provided and the Advisor’s estimated profitability with respect to the management of each Fund, (v) the extent to which the Advisor has in the past, or is likely in the future, to experience economies of scale in connection with the investment advisory services it provides to each Fund, and (vi) fall-out benefits to the Advisor from its relationship with the Funds.
The Independent Trustees met with their independent legal counsel prior to the May 2024 Board meeting to review the materials provided by the Advisor and were advised regarding their fiduciary duties pertaining to renewal of investment advisory contracts and the factors they should consider in evaluating advisory agreements. The Independent Trustees, through their legal counsel, then provided follow-up questions to the Advisor which were addressed by the Advisor. The Independent Trustees noted that the information provided by the Advisor was thorough and responsive to their requests. The information provided in response to their requests was in addition to information received by the Board throughout the year, both in writing and during meetings, regarding the Funds, including Fund performance, expense ratios, portfolio composition and regulatory compliance.
At the May 2024 Board meeting, representatives of the Advisor discussed the Independent Trustees’ requests and follow-up questions with the Board and responded to further questions. The Board determined that, given the totality of the information provided with respect to the Advisory Agreements, the Board had received sufficient information to renew each Advisory Agreement.
In deciding to approve the renewal of each Advisory Agreement, the Board did not identify any single factor or group of factors as all-important or controlling, and considered a variety of factors in its analysis including those discussed below. The Board did not allot a particular weight to any one factor or group of factors.
Nature, Extent and Quality of Services. As part of the Board’s decision-making process, the Board noted that the Advisor and its predecessors have managed the Funds and their predecessors since their inception, and the Board believes that a long-term relationship with a capable, conscientious investment adviser is in the best interests of the Funds. The Board also considered that shareholders invest in a Fund specifically seeking the Advisor’s investment expertise and style. The Board also noted that when shareholders invest in a Fund, they know the advisory fee that is paid by the Fund. In this connection, the Board considered, in particular, that each Fund is managed in accordance with its investment objective and policies as disclosed to shareholders.
The Board reviewed information regarding various services provided by the Advisor to the Funds, including an organizational chart and background information on personnel performing such services. The Board also reviewed each Fund’s performance and information regarding the Advisor’s investment approach, which is driven by team-oriented, in-depth, fundamental research. The Board considered the depth and quality of the Advisor’s investment process, the low turnover rates of the Advisor’s key personnel, the overall stability of the Advisor’s organization, and the experience, capability and integrity of its senior management. The Board also considered the portfolio managers’ significant investments in the Funds. The Board considered the Trust’s compliance program and the resultant compliance by the Funds and the Advisor with legal requirements.
The Board also considered other non-advisory services provided by the Advisor to the Funds, such as the services of Advisor employees as Trust officers and other personnel provided that are necessary for Fund operations. The Board noted that the Advisor organizes Board meetings and the preparation of Board meeting materials, and those Advisor employees serving as Trust officers oversee and manage the other Fund service providers.
Based on its review, the Board concluded that the nature, extent and quality of services provided to each Fund under its Advisory Agreement were satisfactory.
Investment Performance of the Funds and the Advisor. The Board noted that it reviews data on the short-term and longer-term total returns of the Funds in connection with each quarterly Board meeting. For the contract review meeting, the Board reviewed a report prepared by the Trust’s administrator (the “Report”) using information provided by Morningstar, Inc., an independent provider of mutual fund data, that compared the annualized total returns of Class I shares of each Fund to the median annualized total returns of a group of funds that are similar, primarily in terms of investment style (each a “Peer Group”), and to the annualized total returns of the Fund’s primary and secondary (for Funds that have secondary benchmarks) benchmark indexes for the one-, three-, five- and ten-year periods, as applicable, ended
December 31, 2023 and for the three- and six-month, one-, three-, five- and ten-year periods, as applicable, ended March 31, 2024. The Board noted that the Peer Groups were reviewed and selected by the Advisor based on its criteria to determine an appropriate group of competitor funds. In addition, data regarding performance of the Peer Group is provided at each quarterly Board meeting.
The Board noted that all Funds outperformed the median returns of their respective primary benchmarks for the one-, three-, and five-year periods ended December 31, 2023, except that the Global Value Fund and the High Yield Fund underperformed their respective primary benchmarks for the five-year period. The Board also noted that all Funds outperformed the median returns of their respective Peer Groups for the one-, three- and five-year periods ended December 31, 2023, except that the High Yield Fund underperformed the median return of its Peer Group for the five-year period and the Small Cap Diversified Value Fund underperformed the median return of its Peer Group for the one-year period. The Board also considered that the International Small Cap Diversified Value Fund commenced operations on June 30, 2020 and did not have five years of performance history as of December 31, 2023. The Board considered that the Advisor had been consistent in its approach to managing the Funds. The Board concluded that the Advisor’s services in managing each Fund’s portfolio were satisfactory.
Fees, Expenses and Profitability. The Board reviewed advisory fee and expense data using information provided by Morningstar, Inc., contained in the Report, including information regarding applicable expense limitations for the Funds’ Class I shares. The Board reviewed data in the Report showing how each Fund’s advisory fee and Class I shares’ expense ratio compared to those of the funds in its Peer Group using similar share classes. The Board also reviewed information provided by the Advisor on management fees charged by the Advisor for sub-advisory services it provides to other mutual funds and management fees it charges to its separate account clients with investment objectives and policies similar to those of the Funds. The Board considered a list of the many additional functions that the Advisor performs for the Funds that the Advisor does not perform for its separate account and sub-advisory clients, and noted it is generally acknowledged that managing mutual funds subjects an investment adviser to more legal and regulatory risk than is the case with separate accounts.
With respect to the advisory fee for each Fund, the Board noted that the Report showed that the Diversified Value, Large Cap Value, Small Cap Diversified Value, and Value Opportunities Funds’ contractual advisory fees were higher than the median contractual advisory fees of their respective Peer Groups, that the Small Cap Value, Global Value, and International Small Cap Diversified Value Funds’ contractual advisory fees were lower than the median contractual advisory fees of their respective Peer Groups, and that the Mid-Cap Value, International Value, and High Yield Funds’ contractual advisory fees were the same as the median contractual advisory fees of their respective Peer Groups. The Board also noted that the net expense ratios, after implementation of the expense caps for the Class I shares of all the Funds except the Small Cap Diversified Value Fund, International Small Cap Diversified Value Fund and High Yield Fund were above the median net expense ratio of their Peer Group. The Board noted that the Advisor uses a fundamental research-intensive process. The Board considered the expense caps put in place by the Advisor for each Fund (as further described below). The Board concluded that the advisory fee was fair and reasonable for each Fund in light of the nature, extent and quality of services provided by the Advisor.
The Board reviewed information concerning the estimated profitability to the Advisor of the Advisory Agreements, including information regarding the methodology for allocating expenses. The Board reviewed data regarding the Advisor’s variable expenses and fixed expenses. The Board considered that in 2023, as in recent prior years, the Advisor had absorbed costs above expense caps for which it would not be reimbursed for the Diversified Value, Large Cap Value, Small Cap Value, Small Cap Diversified Value, Global Value, International Value, International Small Cap Diversified Value and High Yield Funds. The Board considered that the Advisor has agreed to continue the expense caps for the share classes of each Fund through at least August 29, 2025. The Board also recognized that individual fund or product line profitability of other advisers is generally not publicly available, and that profitability may be affected by numerous factors, so that the comparability of profitability among advisory firms is limited. The Board noted the importance of the Advisor’s profitability—which is derived solely from investment management fees – in maintaining its entrepreneurial environment in a private, primarily employee-owned structure. The Board also noted that the Advisor’s compensation/profit structure facilitates retention of its management and investment professionals. The Board concluded that the level of estimated profitability to the Advisor under the Advisory Agreements was not unreasonable.
Economies of Scale and Whether Fee Levels Reflect These Economies of Scale. The Board reviewed the information provided by the Advisor as to the extent to which it has in the past or is likely in the future to realize economies of scale in connection with the investment advisory services it provides as each Fund grows. The Board noted the low level of assets under management in certain Funds. The Board considered that the breakpoints in the Diversified Value, Large Cap Value, and Mid-Cap Value Funds’ advisory fee schedules can enable shareholders to share in economies of scale. The Board considered the amount of advisory fees that the Advisor waived and Fund operating expenses that the Advisor reimbursed in 2023 to the benefit of certain Funds and their shareholders. The Board also considered information regarding the investment, compliance and client service personnel employed by the Advisor. The Board concluded that in the aggregate the Funds’ fee levels are appropriate.
Fall-Out Benefits to the Advisor from its Relationship to the Funds. The Board considered information regarding any indirect benefits to the Advisor that could be identified from its relationship to the Funds. In particular, the Board considered that the Advisor has the ability to use commission sharing arrangements that allow the Advisor to pay for third-party research using soft dollars from the equity Funds’ commissions as well as other clients of the Advisor. The Board considered that the bundled research services and the use of commission sharing arrangements provides valuable information or service to the Advisor’s investment research process, which benefits the Funds (as well as the Advisor who uses (or can use) the research for the benefit of the Advisor’s other clients). The Board also considered that the Advisor indirectly benefits from the Funds’ payment of sub-transfer agency expenses.
* * * *
Based on its review, including its consideration of each of the factors referred to above, the Board, including all of the Independent Trustees, concluded that the terms of each Advisory Agreement are fair and reasonable and that the renewal of each Fund’s Advisory Agreement is in the best interests of the Fund.
