PORTFOLIO PERFORMANCE REVIEW (continued)
Mondrian Emerging Markets Value Equity Fund
(all returns in U.S. dollars)
Twelve months ended October 31, 2020
The MSCI Emerging Markets index gained 8.3% over the past twelve months ended October 31, 2020. A strong recovery during the spring and summer reversed the sharp decline experienced earlier in 2020 sparked by the emergence of the global COVID-19 pandemic. Asia outperformed as the heavily index weighted markets of Taiwan, China and Korea performed strongly, due to a high weighting towards technology-oriented companies and the lesser degree of economic disruption seen from COVID-19 in these countries. Meanwhile, India was slightly negative and Indonesia, Thailand and the Philippines underperformed with heavy losses. Latin America was the weakest region as heavy currency depreciation weighed on the larger markets in the region. All markets in EMEA experienced losses, although Qatar and Saudi Arabia were down less than most markets despite weakness in energy prices.
From a sector perspective, perceived beneficiaries of the COVID-19 pandemic performed strongly. The accelerating trend towards faster technology adoption boosted the performance of the information technology sector and internet companies in the consumer discretionary and communications sectors, while health care also performed very well. Conversely, the energy sector experienced a sharp decline as oil prices fell, while financials, utilities and real estate were also weak.
The Mondrian Emerging Markets Equity Fund (“the Fund”) underperformed the positive return of the MSCI Emerging Markets Index over the last twelve months. The Fund underperformed the broad index by approximately 240 basis points but outperformed the value sub-index by approximately 1,550 basis points during the reporting period.
Top-down allocation contributed positively to investment returns
The Fund benefitted from top-down positioning in Asia and EMEA. Within Asia, relative returns were driven by overweight exposure to the outperforming Chinese market, as well as zero exposure to the very weak markets of Thailand and the Philippines. In EMEA, the Fund primarily benefitted from underweight exposure to the region as a whole given its relative underperformance against the broader index return. In particular, no exposure to Saudi Arabia and Poland as well as underweight exposure to domestic South Africa and the depreciating South African rand added value. The only notable detractor derived from positioning in Russia, where the Fund’s overweight allocation detracted from investment performance given the Russian market’s high level of dependence on the weak energy sector.

PORTFOLIO PERFORMANCE REVIEW (continued)
Sector allocation mixed; small positive contribution overall
The last twelve months has seen a very wide dispersion in the performance across sectors, largely driven by their relative exposure to the impacts of COVID-19. Similarly, the impact on investment performance across sector allocation was mixed. The Fund benefited from the overweight allocations to the outperforming IT and health care sectors, with further value added from underweight exposure to sectors more severely impacted by COVID-19; namely utilities, real estate and industrials. Offsetting this was the impact of the Fund’s positioning in the very strong communication services and consumer discretionary sectors.
Stock selection negative; held back by China, South Africa and Russia
Stock selection in China, South Africa and Russia were the key factors weighing on returns, only somewhat offset by positive stock selection in India, Taiwan and Korea. In China, underweight exposure to Tencent and the weak performance of Ping An Insurance contributed most to the negative result from stock selection, despite strong positive contributions from several holdings, most notably NetEase, CSPC Pharmaceutical and Midea. Dramatic falls in the oil price contributed to the underperformance of holdings in Gazprom and Lukoil in Russia, and Sasol in South Africa, which further suffered from poor operational performance at its US facility. Gains from stock selection in India came primarily from Reliance Industries, HCL Technologies and Infosys, overcoming weak returns from housing finance group Indiabulls and miner Vedanta, both of which were sold during the period. In Korea, the chemicals group LG Chem gained on rising orders for electric vehicle batteries, while widespread strength in the semiconductor sector benefited Samsung Electronics. The same factor further benefited the holding in TSMC in Taiwan.
Investment Strategy
The Fund’s investment strategy focuses on a long-term, defensive, value stock orientation. Amongst undervalued companies, the Fund seeks to identify strong companies within their sectors and markets, and those that generate sustainable free cash flows with robust balance sheets. The fund holds overweight positions to the attractively valued markets of China, India and Taiwan; as well as overweight positions in the information technology, consumer staples and health care sectors. The Fund holds underweight allocations to the more cyclical areas such as banks, real estate and industrials. The Fund also holds underweight positioning in EMEA and Latin America given unattractive risk adjusted valuations. Zero exposure to Saudi Arabia and Central Eastern Europe, underweight positioning in South Africa and Brazil.

Mondrian International Government Fixed Income Fund
(all returns in U.S. dollars)
Twelve months ended October 31, 2020
The FTSE Non-U.S. Dollar World Government Bond Index was up 5.0% in U.S. dollar unhedged terms over the 12 months to October 31, 2020. The strongest performing markets were Malaysia (up 8.8%) and Singapore (up 8.5%). The weakest performing markets were Mexico (down 0.7%) and Norway (down 0.4%). The Norwegian krone was particularly weak over the period, as lower oil prices weighed on this oil exporting nation’s currency.
The Mondrian International Government Fixed Income Fund outperformed the benchmark by 1.5% in NAV terms, leaving it up 6.5% in absolute terms. Positioning to the Australian dollar and Norwegian krone was beneficial for performance. The overweight to the New Zealand, Mexican and US bond markets added to performance. The addition of corporate credit in late March also positively contributed to relative performance over the period.
The Fund maintains exposure to those countries where Prospective Real Yields are highest, such as New Zealand, Japan and Mexico. We continue to believe that selected currencies are extremely undervalued – particularly the British pound, Norwegian krone and the Mexican peso. We also deem international currencies to be undervalued versus the U.S. dollar on average, based on our Purchasing Power Parity analysis. The Fund has a modest exposure to corporate credit. Corporate credit was added in March 2020, when credit spreads offered excellent value. The Fund had no exposure to corporate credit at the start of 2020.

Mondrian U.S. Small Cap Equity Fund
(all returns in U.S. dollars)
Twelve months ended October 31, 2020
The Russell 2000 Index recorded a marginal decline of 0.1% in the twelve months to October 31, 2020. This all-but-flat reading masks a period of exceptional volatility. In the final months of 2019 the Federal Reserve’s move to lower interest rates preceded a bout of rising optimism over a Sino-US trade deal that propelled the market higher. Soon after investor concerns about the adverse impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic prompted a dramatic sell-off in equities across the world. Recessionary fears grew amid widespread and indefinite shutdowns aimed at protecting the most vulnerable and supporting medical systems. Strong policy responses from the Federal Reserve and Congress, including interest rate cuts and fiscal support measures, helped lessen the economic impact and supported financial system liquidity. Bond yields collapsed in response to the resumption of unorthodox monetary policy encouraging liquidity into riskier assets, helping equity markets retrace much of their losses.
Sector level performance diverged markedly during the period. Health care finished 2019 on strong footing as volume growth drove earnings within the Pharmaceuticals and Biotech subsector. Its defensiveness then offered some support as markets swooned in March 2020. Culminating with robust participation during the relief/reopening rally, possibly due to a resumption of elective surgeries the sector rose 33.3% over the fiscal year. Information technology was the only other sector to record a positive return, finishing up 9.5%. At the other end of the spectrum was energy, which fell 51.7%. With travel and industry grinding to a halt and workers’ sheltering-in-place, fuel consumption dropped tipping the oil market into supply surplus. Accordingly, after whipsawing down and then up the oil price settled at a lower level denting energy producers’ profitability and highlighting weak balance sheets. Exposure to retail, travel and leisure as well as emptied offices destabilized many parts of the real estate sector, which finished down 25.0%. Financial and Utilities fared similarly to one another, shedding 18.5% and 18.3% respectively.
The Mondrian U.S. Small Cap Equity Fund underperformed the benchmark index by 23.2%. The defensive, value-orientated portfolio trailed the index in a period that witnessed indiscriminate selling followed by a liquidity-fueled rally led by growth stocks. This was largely attributable to negative stock selection. Social distancing measures weighed heavily on amusement park operator Cedar Fair, Tivity Health, which provides gym access to seniors, and cinema advertiser National CineMedia. Further, reduced travel impacted aerospace- and fuel-related stocks, particularly within the Industrials sleeve of the portfolio.

Mondrian Global Listed Infrastructure Fund
(all returns in U.S. dollars)
Twelve months ended October 31, 2020
Global equity markets finished 2019 strongly, supported by a reduction in interest rates by the Federal Reserve, and made a solid start to 2020 under the belief that the coronavirus was contained in China. However, outbreaks around the world caused markets to fall sharply in late February and March. A rebound only occurred when data showed the spread of the virus in certain countries slowing, giving confidence that it could be controlled. In addition, investors factored in the support of monetary and fiscal stimulus around the world. By summer, most economies had taken steps to reopening and progress towards a vaccine gave investors further optimism. The MSCI ACWI Core Infrastructure Index returned 4.9% in the year ended October 31, 2020.
The MSCI ACWI Core Infrastructure Index declined 8.1%. It lagged the broader MSCI ACWI Index due to the negative impact coronavirus has had on certain infrastructure assets, particularly in transportation industries, and the positive impact it has had on many technology and consumer-oriented companies. The Fund’s underperformance of this benchmark was primarily due to investments in transportation companies and lack of exposure to the resilient cell phone tower companies.
Infrastructure assets are typically resilient to economic downturns due to their essential nature. For some infrastructure assets, such as utilities and cell phone tower companies, this has largely remained the case despite the lockdowns put in place in response to the coronavirus. However, those companies involved in transportation, such as airports, toll roads, and railroads, have been severely impacted by the unique nature of this downturn. Not only has demand collapsed as people are told to stay at home, but the highly levered capital structure of many of these companies, predicated on the historic stability of demand, has compounded their issues. The fund suffered poor returns from several holdings in this sector, most notably West Japan Railway, Signature Aviation, which operates airports for business jets, Fraport, the German airport operator, and Atlantia, the Italian toll road company. The challenge for long-term investors is determining to what extent the headwinds these companies currently face are temporary. We have adjusted the portfolio’s holdings in this sector to reflect appropriately the changed environment.
Outside of the industrial sector, Rubis, the French downstream oil infrastructure company, has seen its share price under pressure given the drop in demand for the automotive and aviation fuels it distributes. A general aversion to energy-related stocks has also been a drag on the shares. However, having only a modest exposure to the energy sector, the worst performing sector on the back of falling commodity prices, has helped the fund’s relative return.

PORTFOLIO PERFORMANCE REVIEW (continued)
Investments in regulated utilities provided an offset to the weakness in the transportation sector. Companies such as Pennon, the UK water utility, Energias de Portugal, an electric utility, and Xcel Energy, a US electric utility, all outperformed the benchmark. One of the best performing stocks in the period was DP World, the Dubai-based port operator. The company was subject to an all-cash takeover offer from its parent, the government-backed Dubai World. Kansas City Southern, the US railroad, has performed well through the pandemic so far and the shares also benefited from rumors of a bid from private equity.
The portfolio is positioned to take advantage of the particularly attractive risk-adjusted returns we find in infrastructure stocks in Europe and in the electric utilities sector.

PORTFOLIO PERFORMANCE REVIEW (continued)

(all returns in U.S. dollars)
Since Inception (June 30, 2020) ended October 31, 2020
In the four months to the end of October 2020 global markets initially rallied strongly despite worldwide coronavirus deaths passing 1 million. US stocks recorded a second consecutive quarter of significant gains as markets continued to recover from the COVID-19 induced sell-off in March. The S&P 500 and NASDAQ composite both hit new all-time highs in the period whilst registering their best two-quarter performance since 2009. The period began with a surge in new coronavirus cases across the US which led a number of US states to renew their lockdown measures. The market largely shrugged off this news as it focused on the potential for new stimulus measures, although talks in Congress over additional stimulus stalled in August and no agreement was made before the Senate broke for its summer recess. Another factor helping investor sentiment was the positive news around the efficacy of coronavirus treatments and the progress made on developing a vaccine.
Markets turned and were weaker during October, as a number of European governments were forced to bring back strict lockdown measures in order to stop the spread of the virus and to prevent their health systems from becoming overwhelmed. In early October, and with less than a month to go before the US election, US President Donald Trump tested positive for COVID-19. Mr. Trump was hospitalized for several days, missing valuable time on the campaign trail, before making a full recovery. Once again US lawmakers failed to reach agreement on additional stimulus spending. The VIX, a measure of expected volatility on the S&P 500, rallied strongly through October and was significantly above where it had been for the 2016 election. The Fund lagged the overall strong market during the period, despite being defensive during October, as growth stocks drove overall market gains.
Country allocation was a headwind to performance
Underweight exposure to the US market and overweight exposure to the UK and Spain detracted from returns in the period, continuing the trend seen over the year to date of US outperformance compared to Europe. These negative effects were partly counterbalanced by having no exposure to the Swiss, Canadian and Australian markets.
Sector allocation had a negative impact on returns
The portfolio benefited from its underweight exposure to the more cyclical parts of the market including financials, real estate, and energy sectors, which underperformed over the period. Traditionally defensive sectors also lagged,

PORTFOLIO PERFORMANCE REVIEW (concluded)
whilst growth sectors continued to benefit from the stay-at-home theme. The portfolio’s overweight exposure to attractively valued defensive sectors such as health care and consumer staples pulled back relative returns.
Stock selection was the main driver of underperformance in the period
Strong stock selection was seen in the consumer discretionary sector, where Kingfisher outperformed after posting strong results, and consumer staples, where Japanese drugstore operator Sundrug benefited from strong sales alongside continued cost control. Selection in the energy sector also boosted relative returns. This was more than offset by weaker selections in the health care and industrials sectors. Within industrials, Thales was weak as it guided to a slower recovery in its aerospace business, and commercial logistics operator ISS saw weakness as offices were closed during lockdowns. Selection within IT was also a headwind as Cisco issued guidance that disappointed market expectations. On a regional basis, strong stock selection in the UK and Spain was more than offset by weaker selection in the US.
Currency allocation boosted performance
Underweight exposure to the US dollar and overweight exposure to the Japanese yen and UK sterling, which partly offset local market weakness, were positive for performance. These positive effects were only partially reduced by having no exposure to the Australian dollar.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Gallery Trust (the “Trust”), is organized as a Delaware statutory trust under an Agreement and Declaration of Trust dated August 25, 2015. The Trust is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the “1940 Act”), as amended, as an open-end investment management company with six funds. The financial statements herein are those of the Mondrian International Value Equity Fund (formerly, Mondrian International Equity Fund) (the “International Fund”), Mondrian Emerging Markets Value Equity Fund (formerly, the Mondrian Emerging Markets Equity Fund) (the “Emerging Markets Fund”) the Mondrian International Government Fixed Income Fund (the “International Government Fixed Income Fund”), the Mondrian U.S. Small Cap Equity Fund (the “U.S. Small Cap Equity Fund”), the Mondrian Global Listed Infrastructure Fund (the “Global Listed Infrastructure Fund”), and the Mondrian Global Equity Value Fund (the “Global Equity Value Fund”) (each a “Fund” and collectively the “Funds”). The International Fund, Emerging Markets Fund, U.S. Small Cap Equity Fund, and Global Listed Infrastructure Fund are classified as diversified, and the Fixed Income Fund and Global Equity Value Fund are classified as “non-diversified” under the 1940 Act. The investment objective of the International Fund is to seek long-term total return by investing at least 80% of its net assets, plus any borrowings for investment purposes, in equity securities. The investment objective of the Emerging Markets Fund is to seek long-term capital appreciation. The investment objective of the Fixed Income Fund is to seek long-term total return consistent with its value-oriented investment approach. The investment objective of the U.S. Small Cap Equity Fund is to seek long-term total return by investing at least 80% of its net assets, plus any borrowings for investment purposes, in equity securities of U.S. small-capitalization companies. The investment objective of the Global Listed Infrastructure Fund is to seek long-term total return by investing at least 80% of its net assets, plus any borrowings for investment purposes, in equity securities of infrastructure companies listed on a domestic or foreign exchange. The investment objective of the Global Equity Value Fund is to seek long-term total return. Mondrian Investment Partners Limited, a limited company organized under the laws of England and Wales in 1990, serves as the Funds’ investment adviser (“Mondrian” or the “Adviser”). The Adviser makes investment decisions for the Funds and reviews, supervises and administers the investment program of the Funds, subject to the supervision of, and policies established by, the Trustees of the Trust.
The International Fund operated as The International Equity Portfolio, a series of Delaware Pooled Trust (the “International Predecessor Fund”), prior to the International Fund’s acquisition of the assets and assumption of the liabilities

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)
of the International Predecessor Fund (the “Reorganization”) on March 14, 2016 in a tax-free transaction. The International Fund had no operations prior to the Reorganization. The International Predecessor Fund was managed by Delaware Management Company, a series of Delaware Management Business Trust (the “Delaware Predecessor Adviser”), and sub-advised by Mondrian Investment Partners Limited. The International Predecessor Fund had substantially similar investment objectives and strategies as those of the International Fund. The financial statements and financial highlights reflect the financial information of the International Predecessor Fund for periods prior to March 14, 2016.
The Emerging Markets Fund and Fixed Income Fund operated as Laudus Mondrian Emerging Markets Fund (the “Emerging Markets Predecessor Fund”) and Laudus Mondrian International Government Fixed Income Fund (the “Fixed Income Predecessor Fund”) and, together, were a series of Laudus Trust. Each Predecessor Fund was managed by Charles Schwab Investment Management, Inc. (the “Predecessor Adviser”), and sub-advised by Mondrian. Each Fund has the same objective and substantially similar investment strategies as those of its Predecessor Fund. Each Fund acquired the assets and assumed all of the liabilities of its Predecessor Fund (the “Reorganization”) on September 24, 2018 in a tax-free transaction. The Funds had no operations prior to the Reorganization. The financial statements and financial highlights reflect the financial information of the Predecessor Funds for periods prior to September 24, 2018.
Effective October 31, 2018, the Emerging Markets Fund and International Government Fixed Income Fund changed their fiscal year end from March 31 to October 31.
The U.S. Small Cap Equity Fund and Global Listed Infrastructure Fund commenced operations on December 17, 2018.
The Global Equity Value Fund commenced operations on June 30, 2020.
2. | Significant accounting policies |
The following are significant accounting policies, which are consistently followed in the preparation of the financial statements of the Funds. The Funds are investment companies that apply the accounting and reporting guidance issued in Topic 946 by the U.S. Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”).
Use of estimates — The preparation of financial statements, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”), requires
Gallery Trust | | October 31, 2020
|
| | |
| | |
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)
management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the fair value of assets, the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amount of increases and decreases in net assets from operations during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates and such differences could be material.
Valuation of investments — Securities listed on a securities exchange, market or automated quotation system for which quotations are readily available (except for securities traded on NASDAQ), including securities traded over the counter, are valued at the last quoted sale price on an exchange or market (foreign or domestic) on which they are traded on valuation date (or at approximately 4:00 pm ET if a security’s primary exchange is normally open at that time), or, if there is no such reported sale on the valuation date, at the most recent quoted bid price. For securities traded on NASDAQ, the NASDAQ Official Closing Price will be used. If available, debt securities are priced based upon valuations provided by recognized independent, third-party pricing agents. Such values generally reflect the last reported sales price if the security is actively traded. The third-party pricing agents may also value debt securities by employing methodologies that utilize actual market transactions, broker-supplied valuations, or other methodologies designed to identify the market value for such securities. Such methodologies generally consider such factors as security prices, yields, maturities, call features, ratings and developments relating to specific securities in arriving at valuations. Debt securities with remaining maturities of sixty days or less may be valued at their amortized cost, which approximates market value. If such prices are not available or determined to not represent the fair value of the security as of each Fund’s pricing time, the security will be valued at fair value as determined in good faith using methods approved by the Board of Trustees (the “Board”). The prices for foreign securities will be reported in local currency and converted to U.S. dollars using currency exchange rates.
Securities for which market prices are not “readily available” are valued in accordance with fair value procedures established by the Funds’ Board. The Funds’ fair value procedures are implemented through a fair value pricing committee (the “Committee”) designated by the Board. Some of the more common reasons that may necessitate that a security be valued using fair value procedures include: the security’s trading has been halted or suspended; the security has been de-listed from a national exchange; the security’s primary trading market is temporarily closed at a time when under normal conditions it would be open; or the security’s primary
Gallery Trust | | October 31, 2020
|
| | |
| | |
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)
pricing source is not able or willing to provide a price. When a security is valued in accordance with the fair value procedures, the Committee will determine the value after taking into consideration relevant information reasonably available to the Committee.
For securities that principally trade on a foreign market or exchange, a significant gap in time can exist between the time of a particular security’s last trade and the time at which the Fund calculates its net asset value. The closing prices of such securities may no longer reflect their market value at the time the Fund calculates net asset value if an event that could materially affect the value of those securities (a “Significant Event”) has occurred between the time of the security’s last close and the time that the Fund calculates net asset value. A Significant Event may relate to a single issuer or to an entire market sector. If the Funds’ Adviser becomes aware of a Significant Event that has occurred with respect to a security or group of securities after the closing of the exchange or market on which the security or securities principally trade, but before the time at which the Fund calculates net asset value, it may request that a Committee meeting be called.
The Funds use MarkIt Fair Value (“MarkIt”) as a third party fair valuation vendor. MarkIt provides a fair value for foreign securities held by the Funds based on certain factors and methodologies (involving, generally, tracking valuation correlations between the U.S. market and each non-U.S. security) applied by MarkIt in the event that there is a movement in the U.S. market that exceeds a specific threshold that has been established by the Committee. The Committee has also established a “confidence interval” which is used to determine the level of correlation between the value of a foreign security and movements in the U.S. market before a particular security is fair valued when the threshold is exceeded. In the event that the threshold established by the Committee is exceeded on a specific day, the Funds value the non-U.S. securities in their portfolios that exceed the applicable “confidence interval” based upon the fair values provided by MarkIt. In such event, it is not necessary to hold a Committee meeting. In the event that the Adviser believes that the fair values provided by MarkIt are not reliable, the Adviser contacts the Funds’ Administrator and requests that a meeting of the Committee be held.
If a local market in which the Funds own securities is closed for one or more days, the Funds shall value all securities held in the corresponding currency based on the fair value prices provided by MarkIt using the predetermined confidence interval discussed above.
Gallery Trust | | October 31, 2020
|

| | |
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)
In accordance with the authoritative guidance on fair value measurements and disclosure under U.S. GAAP, the Funds disclose the fair value of their investments in a hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure the fair value. The objective of a fair value measurement is to determine the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date (an exit price). Accordingly, the fair value hierarchy gives the highest priority to quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3). The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are described below:
Level 1 — Inputs are unadjusted, quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities at the measurement date.
Level 2 — Inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly. Level 2 inputs include quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets, and inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability.
Level 3 — Inputs are unobservable inputs for the asset or liability, and include situations where there is little, if any, market activity for the asset or liability.
Investments are classified within the level of the lowest significant input considered in determining fair value. Investments classified within Level 3 whose fair value measurement considers several inputs may include Level 1 or Level 2 inputs as components of the overall fair value measurement.
Fair value measurement classifications are summarized in the Funds’ Schedule of Investments.
For the year/period ended October 31, 2020, there have been no significant changes to the Funds’ fair valuation methodology.
Federal income taxes — It is each Fund’s intention to continue to qualify as a regulated investment company for Federal income tax purposes by complying with the appropriate provisions of Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986. Accordingly, no provision for Federal income taxes has been made in the financial statements.
The Funds evaluate tax positions taken or expected to be taken in the course of preparing the Funds’ tax returns to determine whether it is “more-likely-than-not” (i.e., greater than 50-percent) that each tax position will be sustained upon examination by a taxing authority based on the
Gallery Trust | | October 31, 2020
|
| | |
| | |
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)
technical merits of the position. Tax positions not deemed to meet the more-likely-than-not threshold are recorded as a tax benefit or expense in the current year. The Funds did not record any tax provision in the current period. However, management’s conclusions regarding tax positions taken may be subject to review and adjustment at a later date based on factors including, but not limited to, examination by tax authorities (i.e., the last three tax year ends, as applicable), on-going analysis of and changes to tax laws, regulations and interpretations thereof.
As of and during the year/period ended October 31, 2020, the Funds did not have a liability for any unrecognized tax benefits. The Funds recognize interest and penalties, if any, related to unrecognized tax benefits as income tax expense in the Statement of Operations. During the year/period ended October 31, 2020, the Funds did not incur any interest or penalties.
Security transactions, dividend and investment income — Security transactions are accounted for on trade date basis for financial reporting purposes. Costs used in determining realized gains and losses on the sale of investment securities are based on the specific identification method. Dividend income is recognized on the ex-dividend date. Interest income is recognized on the accrual basis from settlement date. Purchase discounts and premiums on debt securities are accreted and amortized to maturity and included in interest income. Certain dividends from foreign securities will be recorded as soon as the Funds are informed of the dividend, net of withholding taxes, if such information is obtained subsequent to the ex-dividend date.
Foreign currency translation — The books and records of the Funds are maintained in U.S. dollars. Investment securities and other assets and liabilities denominated in a foreign currency are translated into U.S. dollars on the date of valuation. The Funds do not isolate that portion of realized or unrealized gains and losses resulting from changes in the foreign exchange rate from fluctuations arising from changes in the market prices of the securities. These gains and losses are included in net realized and unrealized gains and losses on investments on the Statement of Operations.
Net realized and unrealized gains and losses on foreign currency transactions represent net foreign exchange gains or losses from foreign currency exchange contracts, disposition of foreign currencies, currency gains or losses realized between trade and settlement dates on securities transactions and the difference between the amount of the investment income and foreign withholding taxes recorded on the Funds’ books and the U.S. dollar equivalent of the amounts actually received or paid.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)
Forward Foreign Currency Contracts — The Funds may enter into forward foreign currency contracts as hedges against either specific transactions, fund positions or anticipated fund positions. The Funds may also engage in currency transactions to enhance the Funds’ returns. All commitments are “marked-to-market” daily at the applicable foreign exchange rate, and any resulting unrealized gains or losses are recorded currently. The Funds realize gains and losses at the time forward contracts are closed. Unrealized gains or losses on outstanding positions in forward foreign currency contracts held at the close of the period are recognized as ordinary income or loss for Federal income tax purposes. The Funds could be exposed to risk if the counterparties to the contracts are unable to meet the terms of the contract and from unanticipated movements in the value of a foreign currency relative to the U.S. dollar. Finally, the risk exists that losses could exceed amounts disclosed on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Refer to each Fund’s Schedule of Investments for details regarding open forward foreign currency contracts as of October 31, 2020 if applicable.
For the year ended October 31, 2020, the average balances of forward foreign currency exchange contracts for the International Government Fixed Income Fund were as follows:
Average Monthly Notional Contracts Purchased | | $ | (4,657,025 | ) |
Average Monthly Notional Contracts Sold | | | 3,138,993 | |
To reduce counterparty risk with respect to Over-the-Counter (“OTC”) transactions, the Funds have entered into netting arrangements, established within the Funds’ International Swap and Derivatives Association, Inc. (“ISDA”) master agreements, which allow the Funds to make (or to have an entitlement to receive) a single net payment in the event of default (close-out netting) for outstanding payables and receivables with respect to certain OTC positions in forward foreign currency contracts for each individual counterparty. In addition, the Funds may require that certain counterparties post cash and/or securities in collateral accounts to cover their net payment obligations for those derivative contracts subject to ISDA master agreements. If the counterparty fails to perform under these contracts and agreements, the cash and/or securities will be made available to the Funds.
For financial reporting purposes, the Funds do not offset derivative assets and derivative liabilities that are subject to netting arrangements in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Bankruptcy or insolvency laws of a
Gallery Trust | | October 31, 2020
|
| | |
| | |
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)
particular jurisdiction may impose restrictions on or prohibitions against the right of offset in bankruptcy, insolvency or other events.
Collateral terms are contract specific for OTC derivatives. For derivatives traded under an ISDA master agreement, the collateral requirements are typically calculated by netting the mark to market amount of each transaction under such agreement and comparing that amount to the value of any collateral currently pledged by the Funds or the counterparty.
For financial reporting purposes, cash collateral that has been pledged to cover obligations of the Funds, if any, is reported separately on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities as cash pledged as collateral. Non-cash collateral pledged by the Funds, if any, is noted in the Schedule of Investments. Generally, the amount of collateral due from or to a party must exceed a minimum transfer amount threshold before a transfer has to be made. To the extent amounts due to the Funds from their counterparties are not fully collateralized, contractually or otherwise, the Funds bear the risk of loss from counterparty nonperformance.
The following is a summary by counterparty of the market value of OTC financial derivative instruments and collateral (received)/pledged for the International Government Fixed Income Fund as of October 31, 2020:
Counterparty | | Gross Assets Recognized in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities | | | Gross Liabilities Recognized in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities | | | Net Amount Available to be Offset | | | Cash Collateral Pledged or (Received) | | | Net Amount† | |

Total | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
† Represents the net receivable/(payable) that would be due from/to the counterparty in the event of default. Exposure from OTC financial derivative instruments can only be netted across transactions governed under the same master agreement with the same legal entity.
Dividends and distributions to shareholders — The International Fund, Emerging Markets Fund, U.S. Small Cap Equity Fund and Global Listed Infrastructure Fund distribute their net investment income at least annually. The Fixed Income Fund distributes its net investment income quarterly. For each Fund, net realized capital gains, if any, are distributed at least annually. All distributions are recorded on ex-dividend date.

Offering Costs — During the year ended October 31, 2020, the Global Equity Value Fund commenced operations and incurred offering costs each in the amount of $22,718, which are being amortized to expense over a twelve month period. As of October 31, 2020, the Global Equity Value Fund had $44,699 remaining to be amortized.
Expenses — Expenses that are directly related to the Fund are charged to the Fund. Other operating expenses of the Trust are prorated to the funds based on the number of funds and/or relative daily net assets.

Under the terms of an investment advisory agreement, the Adviser provides investment advisory services to the Funds. The Adviser is entitled to a fee, which is calculated daily and paid monthly, at an annual rate for each fund. The table below shows the rate of each Fund’s investment advisory fee.
| | | |
International Value Equity Fund | | | 0.70 | % |
Emerging Markets Value Equity Fund | | | 0.75 | % |
International Government Fixed Income Fund | | | 0.50 | % |
U.S. Small Cap Equity Fund | | | 0.80 | % |
Global Listed Infrastructure Fund | | | 0.85 | % |
Global Equity Value Fund | | | 0.65 | % |
Prior to September 24, 2018, the Delaware Predecessor Adviser was paid a fee at an annual rate of 1.00% of the Emerging Markets Predecessor Fund’s average daily net assets and 0.60% of the average daily net assets of the Fixed Income Predecessor Fund’s average daily net assets. The Predecessor Adviser paid Mondrian a sub-advisory fee for its services as sub-adviser to each Predecessor Fund out of the advisory fees that the Predecessor Adviser received from the Predecessor Fund.
The Adviser has contractually agreed to reduce its fees and/or reimburse expenses to the extent necessary to keep total annual Fund operating expenses (excluding interest, taxes, brokerage commissions, acquired fund fees and expenses, and non-routine (collectively “excluded expenses”)) from exceeding the below percentages of the average daily net assets of the Funds until February 28, 2021 (the “Expense Limitation”). Refer to waiver of investments advisory fees on the Statement of Operations for fees waived for the year ended October 31, 2020.

7. | Federal tax information |
The amount and character of income and capital gain distributions to be paid, if any, are determined in accordance with Federal income tax regulations, which may differ from U.S. GAAP. As a result, net investment income/(loss) and net realized gain/(loss) on investment transactions for a reporting period may differ significantly from distributions during such period. These book/tax differences may be temporary or permanent. To the extent these differences are permanent in nature, they are charged or credited to distributable earnings or paid-in capital, as appropriate, in the period that the differences arise.
The permanent differences primarily consist of foreign currency translations, reclassification of long term capital gain distribution on REITs, investments in publicly traded partnerships, investments in PFICs and distribution reclassification. The permanent difference that is credited or charged to Paid-in Capital and Distributable Earnings as of October 31, 2020 is primarily related to return of capital distribution and distribution in excess:
| | Distributable Earnings Loss | | | | |
International Government Fixed Income Fund | | $ | 46,047 |
| | $ | (46,047 | )
|
U.S. Small Cap Equity Fund | | | 1,714 |
| | | (1,714 | )
|
These reclassifications have no impact on net assets or net asset value per share.
The character of distributions made during the year from net investment income or net realized gains may differ from their ultimate characterization for federal income tax purposes. Also, due to the timing of dividend distributions, the fiscal year in which amounts are distributed may differ from the year that the income or realized gains (losses) were recorded by the Funds. Income dividends and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance with federal income tax regulations, which may differ from U.S. GAAP. These differences are primarily due to differing treatments for forwards, foreign currency transactions, wash sale loss deferrals, investments in REIT’s and investments in PFICs. Distributions during the years ended October 31, 2020 and October 31, 2019, unless otherwise noted, were as follows:

9. | Risks associated with financial instruments |
As with all mutual funds, a shareholder of a Fund is subject to the risk that his or her investment could lose money. The Funds are subject to the principal risks noted below, any of which may adversely affect the Funds’ net asset value and ability to meet its investment objective. A more complete description of risks associated with each Fund is included in the prospectus.
Active management risk
The Funds are subject to the risk that the Adviser’s judgments about the attractiveness, value, or potential appreciation of the Funds’ investments may prove to be incorrect. If the investments selected and strategies employed by the Funds fail to produce the intended results, the Funds could underperform in comparison to its benchmark index or other funds with similar objectives and investment strategies.
Equity risk
Since it purchases equity securities, the Funds are subject to the risk that stock prices may fall over short or extended periods of time. Historically, the equity markets have moved in cycles, and the value of the Funds’ equity securities may fluctuate from day to day. Individual companies may report poor results or be negatively affected by industry and/or economic trends and developments. The prices of securities issued by such companies may suffer a decline in response. These factors contribute to price volatility, which is the principal risk of investing in the Funds.
Convertible securities risk
The value of a convertible security is influenced by changes in interest rates (with investment value declining as interest rates increase and increasing as interest rates decline) and the credit standing of the issuer. The price of a convertible security will also normally vary in some proportion to changes in the price of the underlying common stock because of the conversion or exercise feature.
Large capitalization company risk
The large capitalization companies in which the Funds may invest may lag the performance of smaller capitalization companies because large capitalization companies may experience slower rates of growth than smaller capitalization companies and may not respond as quickly to market changes and opportunities.
Gallery Trust | | October 31, 2020
|

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)
Preferred stocks risk
Preferred stocks are sensitive to interest rate changes, and are also subject to equity risk, which is the risk that stock prices will fall over short or extended periods of time. The rights of preferred stocks on the distribution of a company’s assets in the event of a liquidation are generally subordinate to the rights associated with a company’s debt securities.
Foreign company risk
Investing in foreign companies, including direct investments and investments through depositary receipts, poses additional risks since political and economic events unique to a country or region will affect those markets and their issuers. These risks will not necessarily affect the U.S. economy or similar issuers located in the U.S. Securities of foreign companies may not be registered with the SEC and foreign companies are generally not subject to the regulatory controls imposed on U.S. issuers and, as a consequence, there is generally less publically available information about foreign securities than is available about domestic securities. Income from foreign securities owned by the Funds may be reduced by a withholding tax at the source, which tax would reduce income received from the securities comprising the portfolio. Foreign securities may also be more difficult to value than securities of U.S. issuers. While depositary receipts provide an alternative to directly purchasing the underlying foreign securities in their respective national markets and currencies, investments in depositary receipts continue to be subject to many of the risks associated with investing directly in foreign securities.
Emerging markets securities risk
The Funds’ investments in emerging markets securities are considered speculative and subject to heightened risks in addition to the general risks of investing in foreign securities. Unlike more established markets, emerging markets may have governments that are less stable, markets that are less liquid and economies that are less developed. In addition, the securities markets of emerging market countries may consist of companies with smaller market capitalizations and may suffer periods of relative illiquidity; significant price volatility; restrictions on foreign investment; and possible restrictions on repatriation of investment income and capital. Furthermore, foreign investors may be required to register the proceeds of sales, and future economic or political crises could lead to price controls, forced mergers, expropriation or confiscatory taxation, seizure, nationalization or creation of government monopolies.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)
Foreign currency risk
As a result of the Funds’ investments in securities denominated in, and/or receiving revenues in, foreign currencies, the Funds will be subject to currency risk. Currency risk is the risk that foreign currencies will decline in value relative to the U.S. dollar or, in the case of hedging positions, that the U.S. dollar will decline in value relative to the currency hedged. In either event, the dollar value of an investment in the Funds would be adversely affected.
Depositary receipts risk
Investments in depositary receipts may be less liquid and more volatile than the underlying securities in their primary trading market. If a depositary receipt is denominated in a different currency than its underlying securities, the Funds will be subject to the currency risk of both the investment in the depositary receipt and the underlying security. Holders of depositary receipts may have limited or no rights to take action with respect to the underlying securities or to compel the issuer of the receipts to take action. The prices of depositary receipts may differ from the prices of securities upon which they are based. Certain of the depositary receipts in which the Fund invests may be unsponsored depositary receipts. Unsponsored depositary receipts may not provide as much information about the underlying issuer and may not carry the same voting privileges as sponsored depositary receipts. Unsponsored depositary receipts are issued by one or more depositaries in response to market demand, but without a formal agreement with the company that issues the underlying securities.
Derivatives risk
The Funds’ use of forward contracts and participatory notes is subject to market risk, correlation risk, credit risk, valuation risk and liquidity risk. Market risk is the risk that the market value of an investment may move up and down, sometimes rapidly and unpredictably. Correlation risk is the risk that changes in the value of the derivative may not correlate perfectly or at all with the underlying asset, rate or index. Credit risk is the risk that the counterparty to a derivative contract will default or otherwise become unable to honor a financial obligation. Valuation risk is the risk that the derivative may be difficult to value. Liquidity risk is described below. The Funds’ use of forwards is also subject to leverage risk and hedging risk. Leverage risk is the risk that the use of leverage may amplify the effects of market volatility on the Fund’s share price and may also cause the Fund to liquidate portfolio positions when it would not be advantageous to do so in order to satisfy its obligations. Hedging risk is the risk that derivatives instruments used for hedging purposes may also limit any potential gain that may result from the increase in value of the hedged asset. To

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)
the extent that the Funds engage in hedging strategies, there can be no assurance that such strategy will be effective or that there will be a hedge in place at any given time. Each of these risks could cause the Funds to lose more than the principal amount invested in a derivative instrument.
Liquidity risk
Certain securities may be difficult or impossible to sell at the time and the price that the Funds would like. The Funds may have to lower the price, sell other securities instead or forgo an investment opportunity, any of which could have a negative effect on Fund management or performance.
Portfolio turnover risk
Due to their investment strategies, the Funds may buy and sell securities frequently. This may result in higher transaction costs and additional capital gains tax liabilities.
Large purchase and redemption risk
Large purchases or redemptions of the Fund’s shares may force the Fund to purchase or sell securities at times when it would not otherwise do so, and may cause the Fund’s portfolio turnover rate and transaction costs to rise, which may negatively affect the Fund’s performance and have adverse tax consequences for Fund shareholders.
Fixed income risk
Fixed income securities are subject to a number of risks, including credit and interest rate risks. Credit risk is the risk that the issuer or obligor will not make timely payments of principal and interest. Changes in an issuer’s credit rating or the market’s perception of an issuer’s creditworthiness may also affect the value of the Fund’s investment in that issuer. Interest rate risk is the risk that the value of a fixed income security will fall when interest rates rise. In general, the longer the maturity of a fixed income security, the more likely its value will decline when interest rates rise. Risks associated with rising interest rates are heightened given that interest rates in the U.S. are at, or near, historic lows.
Zero-coupon bond risk
The market value of a zero-coupon bond is generally more volatile than the market value of other fixed income securities with similar maturities that pay interest periodically. In addition, federal income tax law requires that the holder of a zero coupon bond accrue a portion of the discount at which the bond was purchased as taxable income each year. The Fund may consequently have to dispose of portfolio securities under disadvantageous circumstances

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)
to generate cash to satisfy its requirement as a regulated investment company to distribute all of its net income (including non-cash income attributable to zero-coupon securities). These actions may reduce the assets to which the Fund’s expenses could otherwise be allocated and may reduce the Fund’s rate of return.
Foreign sovereign debt securities risk
The Funds’ investments in foreign sovereign debt securities are subject to the risks that: (i) the governmental entity that controls the repayment of sovereign debt may not be willing or able to repay the principal and/or interest when it becomes due, due to factors such as debt service burden, political constraints, cash flow problems and other national economic factors; (ii) governments may default on their debt securities, which may require holders of such securities to participate in debt rescheduling or additional lending to defaulting governments; and (iii) there is no bankruptcy proceeding by which defaulted sovereign debt may be collected in whole or in part.
Foreign government agencies risk
Bonds issued by government agencies, subdivisions or instrumentalities of foreign governments are generally backed only by the general creditworthiness and reputation of the entity issuing the bonds and may not be backed by the full faith and credit of the foreign government. Moreover, a foreign government that explicitly provides its full faith and credit to a particular entity may be, due to changed circumstances, unable or unwilling to provide that support. A foreign government agency’s operations and financial condition are influenced by the foreign government’s economic and other policies.
Supranational entities risk
Government members, or “stockholders,” usually make initial capital contributions to a supranational entity and in many cases are committed to make additional capital contributions if the supranational entity is unable to repay its borrowings. There is no guarantee, however, that one or more stockholders of the supranational entity will continue to make any necessary additional capital contributions. If such contributions are not made, the entity may be unable to pay interest or repay principal on its debt securities, and the Funds may lose money on such investments.
Corporate fixed income securities risk
Corporate fixed income securities respond to economic developments, especially changes in interest rates, as well as perceptions of the creditworthiness and business prospects of individual issuers.
Gallery Trust | | October 31, 2020

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)
Investment Style Risk
The Mondrian Global Equity Value Fund pursues a “value style” of investing. Value investing focuses on companies with stocks that appear undervalued to the Adviser in light of factors such as the company’s earnings, book value, revenues or cash flow. The Adviser’s methodology for analyzing value may differ from other market approaches. If the Adviser’s assessment of market conditions, or a company’s value or its prospects for exceeding earnings expectations is inaccurate, the Fund could suffer losses or produce poor performance relative to other funds. In addition, “value stocks” can continue to be undervalued by the market for long periods of time.
Small- and Mid-Capitalization Company Risk
The small- and mid-capitalization companies in which a Fund may invest may be more vulnerable to adverse business or economic events than larger, more established companies. In particular, investments in these small- and mid-sized companies may pose additional risks, including liquidity risk, because these companies tend to have limited product lines, markets and financial resources, and may depend upon a relatively small management group. Therefore, small- and mid-cap stocks may be more volatile than those of larger companies. These securities may be traded over-the-counter or listed on an exchange.
Rights and Warrants Risk
Investments in rights or warrants involve the risk of loss of the purchase value of a right or warrant if the right to subscribe to additional shares is not exercised prior to the right’s or warrant’s expiration. Also, the purchase of rights and/or warrants involves the risk that the effective price paid for the right and/or warrant added to the subscription price of the underlying security may exceed the market price of the underlying security in instances such as those where there is no movement in the price of the underlying security.
Private Placements Risk
Investment in privately placed securities may be less liquid than in publicly traded securities. Although these securities may be resold in privately negotiated transactions, the prices realized from these sales could be less than those originally paid by the Fund or less than what may be considered the fair value of such securities. Further, companies whose securities are not publicly traded may not be subject to the disclosure and other investor protection requirements that might be applicable if their securities were publicly traded.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)
Risks of Investing in Other Investment Companies
To the extent a Fund invests in other investment companies, such as open-end funds, closed-end funds and ETFs, the Fund will be subject to substantially the same risks as those associated with the direct ownership of the securities held by such other investment companies. As a shareholder of another investment company, the Fund relies on that investment company to achieve its investment objective. If the investment company fails to achieve its objective, the value of the Fund’s investment could decline, which could adversely affect the Fund’s performance. By investing in another investment company, Fund shareholders indirectly bear the Fund’s proportionate share of the fees and expenses of the other investment company, in addition to the fees and expenses that Fund shareholders directly bear in connection with the Fund’s own operations.
Because ETFs and certain closed-end funds are listed on national stock exchanges and are traded like stocks listed on an exchange, their shares potentially may trade at a discount or premium. Investments in ETFs and certain closed-end funds are also subject to brokerage and other trading costs, which could result in greater expenses to the Fund. In addition, because the value of ETF and certain closed-end fund shares depends on the demand in the market, the Adviser may not be able to liquidate the Fund’s holdings at the most optimal time, which could adversely affect Fund performance.
REITs Risk
REITs are pooled investment vehicles that own, and usually operate, income-producing real estate. REITs are susceptible to the risks associated with direct ownership of real estate, such as the following: declines in property values; increases in property taxes, operating expenses, interest rates or competition; overbuilding; zoning changes; and losses from casualty or condemnation. REITs typically incur fees that are separate from those of the Fund. Accordingly, the Fund’s investments in REITs will result in the layering of expenses such that shareholders will indirectly bear a proportionate share of the REITs’ operating expenses, in addition to paying Fund expenses. REIT operating expenses are not reflected in the fee table and example in this prospectus.
MLPs Risk
MLPs are limited partnerships in which the ownership units are publicly traded. MLPs often own several properties or businesses (or own interests) that are related to oil and gas industries or other natural resources, but they also may finance other projects. To the extent that an MLP’s interests are all in a particular industry, such as the energy industry, the MLP will be negatively impacted by economic events adversely impacting that industry. Additional

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)
risks of investing in an MLP also include those involved in investing in a partnership as opposed to a corporation. For example, state law governing partnerships is often less restrictive than state law governing corporations. Accordingly, there may be fewer protections afforded to investors in an MLP than investors in a corporation; for example, investors in MLPs may have limited voting rights or be liable under certain circumstances for amounts greater than the amount of their investment. In addition, MLPs may be subject to state taxation in certain jurisdictions which will have the effect of reducing the amount of income paid by the MLP to its investors. A Fund’s investment in MLPs may result in the layering of expenses, such that shareholders will indirectly bear a proportionate share of the MLPs’ operating expenses, in addition to paying Fund expenses. MLP operating expenses are not reflected in the fee table and example in this prospectus.
Energy companies are affected by worldwide energy prices and costs related to energy production. These companies may have significant operations in areas at risk for natural disasters, social unrest and environmental damage. These companies may also be at risk for increased government regulation and intervention, energy conservation efforts, litigation and negative publicity and perception.
Geographic Focus Risk
To the extent that a Fund focuses its investments in a particular country or geographic region, the Fund may be more susceptible to economic, political, regulatory or other events or conditions affecting issuers and countries within that country or geographic region. As a result, the Fund may be subject to greater price volatility and risk of loss than a fund holding more geographically diverse investments.
Stock Connect Investing Risk
Trading through Stock Connect is subject to a number of restrictions that may affect a Fund’s investments and returns, including a daily quota that limits the maximum net purchases under Stock Connect each day. In addition, investments made through Stock Connect are subject to relatively untested trading, clearance and settlement procedures. Moreover, A-Shares purchased through Stock Connect generally may only be sold or otherwise transferred through Stock Connect. The Fund’s investments in A-Shares purchased through Stock Connect are generally subject to Chinese securities regulations and listing rules. While overseas investors currently are exempt from paying capital gains or value added taxes on income and gains from investments in A-Shares purchased through Stock Connect, these tax rules could be changed,
Gallery Trust | | October 31, 2020
|
| | |
| | |
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)
which could result in unexpected tax liabilities for the Fund. Stock Connect operates only on days when both the Chinese and Hong Kong markets are open for trading and when banks in both markets are open on the corresponding settlement days. Therefore, the Fund may be subject to the risk of price fluctuations of A-Shares when Stock Connect is not trading.
U.S. Government Securities Risk
A Fund’s investment in U.S. government obligations may include securities issued or guaranteed as to principal and interest by the U.S. government, or its agencies or instrumentalities. Payment of principal and interest on U.S. government obligations may be backed by the full faith and credit of the United States or may be backed solely by the issuing or guaranteeing agency or instrumentality itself. There can be no assurance that the U.S. government would provide financial support to its agencies or instrumentalities (including government-sponsored enterprises) where it is not obligated to do so. In addition, U.S. government securities are not guaranteed against price movements due to changing interest rates.
High Yield Bond Risk
High yield, or “junk,” bonds are debt securities rated below investment grade. High yield bonds are speculative, involve greater risks of default, downgrade, or price declines and are more volatile and tend to be less liquid than investment-grade securities. Companies issuing high yield bonds are less financially strong, are more likely to encounter financial difficulties, and are more vulnerable to adverse market events and negative sentiments than companies with higher credit ratings.
Non-diversification risk
The Fixed Income Fund and Global Equity Value Fund are classified as “non-diversified,” which means they may invest a larger percentage of their assets in a smaller number of issuers than diversified funds. To the extent the Funds invest their assets in a smaller number of issuers, the Funds will be more susceptible to negative events affecting those issuers than diversified funds.
Market Risk
The prices of and the income generated by a Fund’s securities may decline in response to, among other things, investor sentiment, general economic and market conditions, regional or global instability, and currency and interest rate fluctuations. In addition, the impact of any epidemic, pandemic or natural disaster, or widespread fear that such events may occur, could negatively affect the global economy, as well as the economies of individual countries, the financial performance of individual companies and sectors, and the markets in general in significant and unforeseen ways. Any such impact could adversely affect the prices and liquidity of the securities and other instruments in which a Fund invests, which in turn could negatively impact the Fund’s performance and cause losses on your investment in the Fund. Similarly, the impact of any epidemic, pandemic or natural disaster, or widespread fear that such events may occur, could negatively affect the global economy, as well as the economies of individual countries, the
Gallery Trust | | October 31, 2020
|
| | |
| | |
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)
financial performance of individual companies and sectors, and the markets in general in significant and unforeseen ways. Any such impact could adversely affect the prices and liquidity of the securities and other instruments in which the Fund invests, which in turn could negatively impact the Fund’s performance and cause losses on your investment in the Fund.
New Fund Risk
Because the Global Equity Value Fund is new, investors in the Fund bear the risk that the Fund may not be successful in implementing the Fund’s investment strategy, may not employ a successful investment strategy, or may fail to attract sufficient assets under management to realize economies of scale, any of which could result in the Fund being liquidated at any time without shareholder approval and at a time that may not be favorable for all shareholders. Such liquidation could have negative tax consequences for shareholders and will cause shareholders to incur expenses of liquidation.
In the normal course of business, the Funds enter into contracts that provide general indemnifications. The Funds’ maximum exposure under these arrangements is dependent on future claims that may be made against the Funds and, therefore, cannot be established; however, based on experience, the risk of loss from such claims is considered remote.
The Funds have access to custodian overdraft facilities. A Fund may have utilized the overdraft facility and incurred an interest expense, which is disclosed on the fund’s Statement of Operations, if any. The interest expense is determined based on a negotiated rate above the current Federal Funds Rate. For the year or period ended October 31, 2020, none of the Funds incurred any interest expense.

In August 2018, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update 2018-13, Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820). The new guidance includes additions and modifications to disclosures requirements for fair value measurements. For public entities, the amendments are effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, and interim periods within those fiscal years. The Funds early adopted this guidance as of November 1, 2019. The adoption of this guidance did not have a material impact on the financial statements.
The Funds have evaluated the need for disclosures and/or adjustments resulting from subsequent events through the date the financials were issued. Based on this evaluation, no disclosures and/or adjustments were required to the financial statements as of October 31, 2020.

DISCLOSURE OF FUND EXPENSES
All mutual funds have operating expenses. As a shareholder of a mutual fund, your investment is affected by these ongoing costs, which include (among others) costs for fund management, administrative services, and shareholder reports like this one. It is important for you to understand the impact of these costs on your investment returns.
Operating expenses such as these are deducted from the mutual fund’s gross income and directly reduce its final investment return. These expenses are expressed as a percentage of the mutual fund’s average net assets; this percentage is known as the mutual fund’s expense ratio.
The following examples use the expense ratio and are intended to help you understand the ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in your Fund and to compare these costs with those of other mutual funds. The examples are based on an investment of $1,000 made at the beginning of the period shown and held for the entire period from May 1, 2020 to October 31, 2020.
The table on the next page illustrates your Fund’s costs in two ways:
Actual Fund Return. This section helps you to estimate the actual expenses after fee waivers that your Fund incurred over the period. The “Expenses Paid During Period” column shows the actual dollar expense cost incurred by a $1,000 investment in the Fund, and the “Ending Account Value” number is derived from deducting that expense cost from the Fund’s gross investment return.
You can use this information, together with the actual amount you invested in the Fund, to estimate the expenses you paid over that period. Simply divide your ending starting account value by $1,000 to arrive at a ratio (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply that ratio by the number shown for your Fund under “Expenses Paid During Period.”
Hypothetical 5% Return. This section helps you compare your Fund’s costs with those of other mutual funds. It assumes that the Fund had an annual 5% return before expenses during the year, but that the expense ratio (Column 3) for the period is unchanged. This example is useful in making comparisons because the Securities and Exchange Commission requires all mutual funds to make this 5% calculation. You can assess your Fund’s comparative cost by comparing the hypothetical result for your Fund in the “Expenses Paid During Period” column with those that appear in the same charts in the shareholder reports for other mutual funds.

APPROVAL OF INVESTMENT ADVISORY AGREEMENT
Mondrian Global Equity Value Fund
Pursuant to Section 15 of the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the “1940 Act”), the Fund’s advisory agreement (the “Agreement”) must be approved: (i) by a vote of a majority of the shareholders of the Fund; and (ii) by the vote of a majority of the members of the Board of Trustees (the “Board” or the “Trustees”) of Gallery Trust (the “Trust”) who are not parties to the Agreement or “interested persons” of any party thereto, as defined in the 1940 Act (the “Independent Trustees”), cast in person at a meeting called for the purpose of voting on such approval.
A Board meeting was held on June 25, 2020 via videoconference to decide whether to approve the Agreement for an initial two-year term (the “June Meeting”). The June Meeting was held via videoconference in reliance on relief provided in orders issued by the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 13, 2020, March 25, 2020 and June 19, 2020 from 1940 Act sections and rules requiring that certain votes of a company’s board of trustees be cast in person due to circumstances related to the current or potential effects of the COVID-19 pandemic. In preparation for the June Meeting, the Trustees requested that the Adviser furnish information necessary to evaluate the terms of the Agreement. The Trustees used this information, as well as other information that the Adviser and other service providers of the Fund presented or submitted to the Board at the June Meeting, to help them decide whether to approve the Agreement for an initial two-year term.
Specifically, the Board requested and received written materials from the Adviser and other service providers of the Fund regarding: (i) the nature, extent and quality of the services to be provided by the Adviser; (ii) the Adviser’s investment management personnel; (iii) the Adviser’s operations; (iv) the Adviser’s brokerage practices (including any soft dollar arrangements) and investment strategies; (v) the Fund’s proposed advisory fee to be paid to the Adviser and the Fund’s overall fees and operating expenses compared with a peer group of mutual funds; (vi) the Adviser’s compliance program, including a description of material compliance matters and material compliance violations; (vii) the Adviser’s policies on and compliance procedures for personal securities transactions; (viii) the Adviser’s investment experience; (ix) the Adviser’s rationale for introducing the Fund as well as the Fund’s proposed objective and strategy; and (x) the Adviser’s performance in managing similar accounts.
Representatives from the Adviser, along with other Fund service providers, presented additional information and participated in question and answer sessions at the June Meeting to help the Trustees evaluate the Adviser’s services, fee and other aspects of the Agreement. The Independent Trustees received

APPROVAL OF INVESTMENT ADVISORY AGREEMENT
advice from independent counsel and met in executive session outside the presence of Fund management and the Adviser.At the June Meeting, the Trustees, including all of the Independent Trustees, based on their evaluation of the information provided by the Adviser and other service providers of the Fund, approved the Agreement. In considering the approval of the Agreement, the Board considered various factors that they determined were relevant, including: (i) the nature, extent and quality of the services to be provided by the Adviser; and (ii) the fees to be paid to the Adviser, as discussed in further detail below.
Nature, Extent and Quality of Services to be Provided by the Adviser
In considering the nature, extent and quality of the services to be provided by the Adviser, the Board reviewed the portfolio management services to be provided by the Adviser to the Fund, including the quality and continuity of the Adviser’s portfolio management personnel, the resources of the Adviser, and the Adviser’s compliance history and compliance program. The Trustees reviewed the terms of the proposed Agreement. The Trustees also reviewed the Adviser’s proposed investment and risk management approaches for the Fund. The most recent investment adviser registration form (“Form ADV”) for the Adviser was available to the Board, as was the response of the Adviser to a detailed series of questions which included, among other things, information about the investment advisory services to be provided by the Adviser to the Fund.
The Trustees also considered other services to be provided to the Fund by the Adviser such as selecting broker-dealers for executing portfolio transactions, monitoring adherence to the Fund’s investment restrictions, and monitoring compliance with various Fund policies and procedures and with applicable securities laws and regulations. Based on the factors above, as well as those discussed below, the Board concluded, within the context of its full deliberations, that the nature, extent and quality of the services to be provided to the Fund by the Adviser would be satisfactory.
Costs of Advisory Services
In considering the advisory fee payable by the Fund to the Adviser, the Trustees reviewed, among other things, a report of the proposed advisory fee to be paid to the Adviser. The Trustees also reviewed reports prepared by the Fund’s administrator comparing the Fund’s net and gross expense ratios and advisory fees to those paid by a peer group of mutual funds as classified by Lipper, an independent provider of investment company data. The Trustees reviewed pro

| | |
APPROVAL OF INVESTMENT ADVISORY AGREEMENT
forma fee and expense information, as well as the management fees charged by the Adviser to other clients with comparable mandates. The Trustees considered any differences in management fees and took into account the respective demands, resources and complexity associated with the Fund and other client accounts as well as the extensive regulatory, compliance and tax regimes to which the Fund is subject. The Board concluded, within the context of its full deliberations, that the advisory fee was reasonable in light of the nature and quality of the services expected to be rendered by the Adviser. The Board also considered the Adviser’s commitment to managing the Fund and its willingness to enter into an expense limitation and fee waiver arrangement with the Fund.Investment Performance, Profitability and Economies of Scale
Because the Fund was new and had not commenced operations, it did not yet have an investment performance record and it was not possible to determine the profitability that the Adviser might achieve with respect to the Fund or the extent to which economies of scale would be realized by the Adviser as the assets of the Fund grow. Accordingly, the Trustees did not make any conclusions regarding the Fund’s investment performance, the Adviser’s profitability, or the extent to which economies of scale would be realized by the Adviser as the assets of the Fund grow, but will do so during future considerations of the Agreement.
Approval of the Agreement
Based on the Board’s deliberations and its evaluation of the information described above and other factors and information it believed relevant in the exercise of its reasonable business judgment, the Board, including all of the Independent Trustees, with the assistance of Fund counsel and Independent Trustees’ counsel, unanimously concluded that the terms of the Agreement, including the fees to be paid thereunder, were fair and reasonable and agreed to approve the Agreement for an initial term of two years. In its deliberations, the Board did not identify any absence of information as material to its decision, or any particular factor (or conclusion with respect thereto) or single piece of information that was all-important, controlling or determinative of its decision, but considered all of the factors together, and each Trustee may have attributed different weights to the various factors (and conclusions with respect thereto) and information.

The Registrant has adopted a code of ethics that applies to the Registrant’s principal executive officer, principal financial officer, controller or principal accounting officer, and any person who performs a similar function. There have been no amendments to or waivers granted to this code of ethics.
Item 3. Audit Committee Financial Expert.
(a)(1) The Registrant’s board of trustees has determined that the Registrant has at least one audit committee financial expert serving on the audit committee.
(a) (2) The audit committee financial experts are Thomas Lemke and Jay Nadel, and each of Mr. Lemke and Mr. Nadel is considered to be “independent,” as that term is defined in Form N-CSR Item 3(a)(2).
Item 4. Principal Accountant Fees and Services.
Fees billed by PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP (“PwC”) relate to the Gallery Trust (the “Trust”).
PwC billed the Trust aggregate fees for services rendered to the Trust for the last two fiscal years as follows:
| 2020 | 2019 |
| | All fees and services to the Trust that were pre-approved | All fees and services to service affiliates that were pre-approved | All other fees and services to service affiliates that did not require pre-approval | All fees and services to the Trust that were pre-approved | All fees and services to service affiliates that were pre-approved | All other fees and services to service affiliates that did not require pre-approval |
(a) | Audit Fees(1) | $151,100 | None | None | $151,300 | None | None |
(b) | Audit-Related Fees | None | | $165,403 | None | None | $128,689 |
(c) | Tax Fees | $19,040 | None | $75,000(3) | None | None | $335,148(2)(3) |
(d) | All Other Fees | None | None | None | None | None | None |
Notes:
(1) | Audit fees include amounts related to the audit of the Trust’s annual financial statements and services normally provided by the accountant in connection with statutory and regulatory filings. |
(2) | Contains tax return preparation fees for affiliates of the Funds. |
(3) | Contains tax compliance services provided to service affiliates of the Funds |
(e)(1) The Trust’s Audit Committee has adopted and the Board of Trustees has ratified an Audit and Non-Audit Services Pre-Approval Policy (the “Policy”), which sets forth the procedures and the conditions pursuant to which services proposed to be performed by the independent auditor of the Funds may be pre-approved.
The Policy provides that all requests or applications for proposed services to be provided by the independent auditor must be submitted to the Registrant’s Chief Financial Officer (“CFO”) and must include a detailed description of the services proposed to be rendered. The CFO will determine whether such services:
1. require specific pre-approval;
2. are included within the list of services that have received the general pre-approval of the Audit Committee pursuant to the Policy; or
3. have been previously pre-approved in connection with the independent auditor’s annual engagement letter for the applicable year or otherwise. In any instance where services require pre-approval, the Audit Committee will consider whether these services are consistent with SEC’s rules and whether the provision of these services would impair the auditor’s independence.
Requests or applications to provide services that require specific pre-approval by the Audit Committee will be submitted to the Audit Committee by the CFO. The Audit Committee will be informed by the CFO on a quarterly basis of all services rendered by the independent auditor. The Audit Committee has delegated specific pre-approval authority to either the Audit Committee Chair or financial expert, provided that the estimated fee for any said proposed pre-approved service does not exceed $100,000 and any pre-approval decisions are reported to the Audit Committee at the Audit Committee’s next regularly-scheduled meeting.
Services that have received the general pre-approval of the Audit Committee are identified and described in the Policy. In addition, the Policy sets forth a maximum fee per engagement with respect to each identified service that has received general pre-approval.
All services to be provided by the independent auditor shall be provided pursuant to a signed written engagement letter with the Registrant, the investment adviser or applicable control affiliate (except that matters as to which an engagement letter would be impractical because of timing issues or because the matter is small may not be the subject of an engagement letter) that sets forth both the services to be provided by the independent auditor and the total fees to be paid to the independent auditor for those services.
In addition, the Audit Committee has determined to take additional measures on an annual basis to meet the Audit Committee’s responsibility to oversee the work of the independent auditor and to assure the auditor's independence from the Registrant, such as (a) reviewing a formal written statement from the independent auditor delineating all relationships between the independent auditor and the Registrant, and (b) discussing with the independent auditor the independent auditor’s methods and procedures for ensuring independence.
(e)(2) | Percentage of fees billed by PwC applicable to non-audit services pursuant to the “de minimis” exception of Rule 2-01(c)(7)(i)(C) were as follows: |
| 2020 | 2019 |
Audit-Related Fees
| None | None |
Tax Fees | None | None |
All Other Fees
| None | None |
(g) The aggregate non-audit fees and services billed by PwC for services rendered to the Registrant, and rendered to the Registrant’s investment adviser (not including any sub-adviser whose role is primarily portfolio management and is subcontracted with or overseen by another investment adviser), and any entity controlling, controlled by, or under common control with the adviser that provides ongoing services to the Registrant for the last fiscal-years-ended October 31st were $240,403 and $463,837 for 2020 and 2019, respectively.
(h) During the past fiscal year, all non-audit services provided by Registrant’s principal accountant to either Registrant’s investment adviser or to any entity controlling, controlled by, or under common control with Registrant’s investment adviser that provides ongoing services to Registrant were pre-approved by the Audit Committee of Registrant’s Board of Trustees. Included in the Audit Committee’s pre-approval of these non-audit services was the review and consideration as to whether the provision of these non-audit services is compatible with maintaining the principal accountant’s independence.

Not applicable to open-end management investment companies.
