NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS |
June 30, 2022 (Unaudited) |
Note 1 – Organization
Chartwell Income Fund, Chartwell Mid Cap Value Fund, Chartwell Small Cap Value Fund, Chartwell Short Duration High Yield Fund, Chartwell Small Cap Growth Fund and Chartwell Short Duration Bond Fund (each a “Fund” and collectively the “Funds”) are each a diversified series of The Chartwell Funds, a Delaware statutory trust (the “Trust”) which is registered as an open-end management investment company under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”).
Chartwell Income Fund’s primary investment objective is to provide investors with current income; seeking to preserve capital is a secondary consideration. The Fund commenced investment operations on September 3, 1987.
Chartwell Mid Cap Value Fund’s primary investment objective is to achieve long-term capital appreciation. The Fund commenced investment operations on May 1, 2002.
Chartwell Small Cap Value Fund’s primary investment objective is to seek long-term capital appreciation. The Fund commenced investment operations on March 16, 2012.
Chartwell Short Duration High Yield Fund’s primary investment objective is to seek income and long-term capital appreciation. The Fund commenced investment operations on July 15, 2014.
Chartwell Small Cap Growth Fund’s primary investment objective is to seek long-term capital appreciation. The Fund commenced investment operations on June 16, 2017.
Chartwell Short Duration Bond Fund’s primary investment objective is to maximize current income by investing in high quality short maturity fixed income securities while also preserving capital. The Fund commenced investment operations on September 22, 2021.
Note 2 – Significant Accounting Policies
Each Fund follows accounting and reporting guidance under Financial Accounting Standards Board Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 946, “Financial Services – Investment Companies.” The following is a summary of the Funds’ significant accounting policies. These policies are in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”).
(a) Valuation of Investments
Each Fund values equity securities at the last reported sale price on the principal exchange or in the principal over the counter (“OTC”) market in which such securities are traded, as of the close of regular trading on the New York Stock Exchange on the day the securities are being valued or, if the last-quoted sales price is not readily available, the securities will be valued at the last bid or the mean between the last available bid and ask price. Securities traded on the NASDAQ are valued at the NASDAQ Official Closing Price. Investments in open-end investment companies are valued at the daily closing net asset value (“NAV”) of the respective investment company. Debt securities are typically valued by utilizing a price supplied by independent pricing service providers. The independent pricing service providers may use various valuation
CHARTWELL FUNDS |
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued) |
methodologies including matrix pricing and other analytical pricing models as well as market transactions and dealer quotations. These models generally consider such factors as yields or prices of bonds of comparable quality, type of issue, coupon, maturity, ratings and general market conditions. If a price is not readily available for a portfolio security, the security will be valued at fair value (the amount which a Fund might reasonably expect to receive for the security upon its current sale) as determined in good faith by Chartwell Investment Partners, LLC (the “Advisor”) as defined in Note 3, subject to review and approval by the Advisor’s Portfolio Pricing Committee (“APPC”), pursuant to procedures adopted by the Board of Trustees. The actions of the APPC are subsequently reviewed by the Board at its next regularly scheduled board meeting. The APPC meets as needed. The APPC is comprised of personnel of the Advisor (CFO, COO, CCO, the applicable portfolio manager or lead analyst).
(b) Share Valuation and Redemption Fees
The NAV per share of each Fund is calculated as of the close of regular trading on the NYSE (normally 4:00 p.m., Eastern time) on each day that the NYSE is open for business. The NAV per share of each Fund is calculated by dividing the total value of the Fund’s assets, less its liabilities, by the number of its shares outstanding. The offering price and redemption price per share of each Fund is equal to the NAV per share next computed after receipt of an order to purchase or to redeem shares. However, prior to May 1, 2021, a redemption fee of 1%, payable to the applicable Fund, generally was applied to shares that were redeemed within 30 days of purchase. During the periods ended June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, proceeds from redemption fees were as follows:
| | Six Months Ended | | | Year Ended | |
| | June 30, 2022 | | | December 31, 2021 | |
Chartwell Income Fund | | $ | — | | | $ | 8 | |
Chartwell Mid Cap Value Fund | | | — | | | | — | |
Chartwell Small Cap Value Fund | | | — | | | | 1,382 | |
Chartwell Short Duration High Yield Fund | | | — | | | | — | |
Chartwell Small Cap Growth Fund | | | — | | | | — | |
Chartwell Short Duration Bond Fund | | | — | | | | — | |
(c) Investment Transactions, Investment Income and Expenses
Investment transactions are accounted for on the trade date. Realized gains and losses on investments are determined on the identified cost basis. Dividend income is recorded net of applicable withholding taxes on the ex-dividend date and interest income is recorded on an accrual basis. Non-cash dividends included in dividend income, if any, are recorded at the fair market value of the security received. Withholding taxes on foreign dividends, if applicable, are paid (a portion of which may be reclaimable) or provided for in accordance with the applicable country’s tax rules and rates and are disclosed on the Statements of Operations. Withholding tax reclaims are filed in certain countries to recover a portion of the amounts previously withheld. The Funds record a reclaim receivable based on a number of factors,
CHARTWELL FUNDS |
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued) |
including a jurisdiction’s legal obligation to pay reclaims, as well as payment history and market convention. Discounts or premiums on debt securities are accreted or amortized to interest income over the lives of the respective securities using the effective interest method.
Expenses incurred by the Trust with respect to more than one Fund are allocated in proportion to the net assets of each Fund except where allocation of direct expenses to each Fund or an alternative allocation method can be more appropriately made.
(d) Cash Accounts
At times, the Funds may invest cash in a sweep vehicle program whereby a bank, acting as agent of its customer, endeavors to place such amounts in excess of the FDIC standard maximum deposit insurance amount (currently $250,000) with one or more other FDIC-insured member banks in either demand deposit accounts or money market deposit accounts. Such deposits are in amounts at any such bank not in excess of the FDIC standard maximum deposit insurance amount such that the customer’s funds are FDIC-insured across the various banks at which such funds are deposited. TriState Capital Bank provides this service to its clients, including the Advisor. Prior to June 1, 2022, TriState Capital Bank and the Advisor were owned by TriState Capital Holdings. On June 1, 2022, TriState Capital Holdings, Inc., TriState Capital Bank and the Advisor were acquired by Raymond James Financial, Inc. (“RJF”). TriState Capital Bank does not receive any fees relating to these deposits. These amounts are included as Cash on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities to the extent they are held by a Fund as of June 30, 2022.
(e) Federal Income Taxes
The Funds intend to comply with the requirements of Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code applicable to regulated investment companies and to distribute substantially all of their net investment income and any net realized capital gains to their shareholders. Therefore, no provision is made for federal income or excise taxes. Due to the timing of distributions and the differences in accounting for net investment income and realized capital gains and losses for financial statement and federal income tax purposes, the fiscal year in which amounts are distributed may differ from the year in which the net investment income and realized capital gains and losses are recorded by the Funds.
Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes (the “Income Tax Statement”) requires an evaluation of tax positions taken (or expected to be taken) in the course of preparing a Fund’s tax returns to determine whether these positions meet a “more-likely-than-not” standard that, based on the technical merits, have a more than fifty percent likelihood of being sustained by a taxing authority upon examination. A tax position that meets the “more-likely-than-not” recognition threshold is measured to determine the amount of benefit or expense to recognize in the financial statements. The Funds recognize interest and penalties, if any, as income tax expense on the Statements of Operations.
The Income Tax Statement requires management of the Funds to analyze tax positions taken in the prior three open tax years, if any, and tax positions expected to be taken in the Funds’ current tax year, as defined by the IRS statute of limitations for all major jurisdictions, including federal tax authorities and certain state tax authorities. As of and during the open periods
CHARTWELL FUNDS |
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued) |
(generally, three years) the Funds did not have a liability for any unrecognized tax expenses. The Funds have no examination in progress and are not aware of any tax positions for which it is reasonably likely that the total amounts of unrecognized tax expenses will significantly change in the next twelve months.
(f) Distributions to Shareholders
Chartwell Mid Cap Value Fund, Chartwell Small Cap Value Fund and Chartwell Small Cap Growth Fund make distributions of net investment income and net realized capital gains, if any, at least annually. Chartwell Income Fund, Chartwell Short Duration High Yield Fund and Chartwell Short Duration Bond Fund make distributions of net investment income monthly and net realized capital gains, if any, at least annually. Distributions to shareholders are recorded on the ex-dividend date. The amount and timing of distributions are determined in accordance with federal income tax regulations, which may differ from GAAP.
(g) Accounting Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities as of the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of increase (decrease) in net assets from operations during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from these estimates.
(h) New Accounting Pronouncement
In March 2020, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2020-04 (“ASU 2020-04”), “Reference Rate Reform (Topic 840): Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting”. ASU 2020-04 provides entities with optional guidance to ease the potential accounting burden associated with transitioning away from reference rates (e.g., LIBOR) that are expected to be discontinued. ASU 2020-04 allows, among other things, certain contract modifications to be accounted as a continuation of the existing contract. This ASU was effective upon the issuance and its optional relief can be applied through December 31, 2022. The Funds will consider this optional guidance prospectively, if applicable.
On October 28, 2020, the SEC adopted new Rule 18f-4 (the “Derivatives Rule”), replacing the asset segregation regime of Investment Company Act Release No. 10666 (“Release 10666”) with a new framework for the use of derivatives by registered funds. For a fund using a significant amount of Derivatives, the Derivatives Rule mandates a fund adopt and/or implement: (i) value at risk limitations in lieu of asset segregation requirements; (ii) a written derivatives risk management program; (iii) new Board oversight responsibilities; and (iv) new reporting and recordkeeping requirements. The Derivatives Rule provides an exception for a fund with Derivatives exposure not exceeding 10% of its net assets, excluding certain currency and interest rate hedging transactions. Complying with the Derivatives Rule may increase the cost of a fund’s investments and cost of doing business, which could adversely affect investors. The full impact of the Derivatives Rule on a fund remains uncertain, but due to the compliance timeline within the Derivatives Rule, it is unlikely that a fund will be required to fully
CHARTWELL FUNDS |

comply with the requirements until August 19, 2022. While the Chartwell Funds have the ability to invest in derivatives, they typically do not invest and currently do not have any exposure. The Funds and the Manager will ensure Funds’ compliance with the Derivatives Rule.
In December 2020, the SEC adopted Rule 2a-5 under the Investment Company Act, which establishes requirements for determining fair value in good faith for purposes of the Investment Company Act, including related oversight and reporting requirements. The rule also defines when market quotations are “readily available” for purposes of the Investment Company Act, the threshold for determining whether a Fund must fair value a security. A Fund will not be required to comply with this new rule until September 8, 2022. The Funds and the Manager are evaluating the impact of the rule on the Funds’ valuation policies.
Note 3 – Investment Advisory and Other Agreements
On June 1, 2022, Raymond James Financial, Inc (“RJF”) completed its acquisition of TriState Capital Holdings, Inc. including its asset management subsidary, Chartwell Investment Partners, LLC, an investment adviser that became a wholly-owned subsidiary of Carillon Tower Advisers (“CTA”). On June 1, 2022, RJF completed its acquisition of TriState Capital Holdings, Inc., including the Advisor, which became a wholly-owned subsidiary of CTA (the “Transaction”). The Transaction resulted in a change of control of the Advisor and the assignment and termination of the Advisor’s investment advisory agreement with the Funds (“Prior Agreement”). The Advisor continued to serve as the Funds’ investment adviser following the Transaction pursuant to an interim investment advisory agreement pursuant to Rule 15a-4 under the 1940 Act that was approved by the Trust’s Board of Trustees on May 25, 2022. The Funds paid the same fee rates to the Advisor under the Interim Agreement as under the Prior Agreement. The Interim Agreement and the Prior Agreement are collectively referred to herein as the “Agreement.”
Under the terms of the Agreement, the Funds pay a monthly investment advisory fee to the Advisor at the following annual rates based on the average daily net assets of the Funds:
Chartwell Income Fund | | |
First $1.75 billion | | 0.50% |
Next $1.75 billion | | 0.48% |
Thereafter | | 0.46% |
Chartwell Mid Cap Value Fund | | 0.75% |
Chartwell Small Cap Value Fund | | 0.90% |
Chartwell Short Duration High Yield Fund | | 0.40% |
Chartwell Small Cap Growth Fund | | 0.85% |
Chartwell Short Duration Bond Fund | | 0.30% |

order to limit total annual operating expenses of each Fund as stated below. This agreement is in effect until May 1, 2023 with respect to each Fund, and it may be terminated prior to this time only by the Trust’s Board of Trustees, or if the investment advisory agreement is terminated (i) by the Funds upon 60 days’ notice to the Advisor provided such termination was directed or approved by a vote of a majority of the Trustees of the Funds or by the vote of the holders of a majority of the voting securities of the Fund at the time outstanding or entitled to vote; (ii) by the Advisor upon 60 days’ notice to the Funds; or (iii) by an assignment of the investment advisory agreement. The table below reflects the expense cap for each Fund:

Chartwell Short Duration High Yield Fund | | 0.49% |
Chartwell Small Cap Growth Fund | | 1.05% |

The difference between the cost of investments for financial statement and federal income tax purposes for Chartwell Income Fund, Chartwell Mid Cap Value Fund, Chartwell Small Cap Value Fund, Chartwell Short Duration High Yield Fund and Chartwell Small Cap Growth Fund is due to certain timing differences in recognizing capital gains and losses in security transactions under income tax regulations and GAAP. These “book/tax” differences are temporary in nature and are primarily due to the tax deferral of losses on wash sales and adjustments to basis on passive foreign investment companies.

Note 6 – Indemnifications
In the normal course of business, the Funds enter into contracts that contain a variety of representations 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 that have not yet occurred. However, the Funds expect the risk of loss to be remote.
Note 7 – Fair Value Measurements and Disclosure
ASC 820 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in accordance with GAAP, and expands disclosure about fair value measurements. It also provides guidance on determining when there has been a significant decrease in the volume and level of activity for an asset or a liability, when a transaction is not orderly, and how that information must be incorporated into a fair value measurement.
Various inputs are used in determining the value of each Fund’s investments. These inputs are summarized into three broad Levels as described below:
| ● | Level 1 – Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that a Fund has the ability to access. |
| ● | Level 2 – Observable inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly. These inputs may include quoted prices for the identical instrument on an inactive market, prices for similar instruments, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, yield curves, default rates and similar data. |
| ● | Level 3 – Unobservable inputs for the asset or liability, to the extent relevant observable inputs are not available, representing a Fund’s own assumptions about the assumptions a market participant would use in valuing the asset or liability, and would be based on the best information available. |
The availability of observable inputs can vary from security to security and is affected by a wide variety of factors, including, for example, the type of security, whether the security is new and not yet established in the marketplace, the liquidity of markets, and other characteristics particular to the security. To the extent that valuation is based on models or inputs that are less observable or unobservable in the market, the determination of fair value requires more judgment. Accordingly, the degree of judgment exercised in determining fair value is greatest for instruments categorized in Level 3.
The inputs used to measure fair value may fall into different Levels of the fair value hierarchy. In such cases, for disclosure purposes, the level in the fair value hierarchy within which the fair value measurement falls in its entirety is determined based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety.
The inputs or methodology used for valuing securities are not an indication of the risks associated with investing in those securities.

Note 8 – Sector Risk
If a Fund has significant investments in the securities of issuers in industries within a particular business sector, any development generally affecting that sector will have a greater impact on the value of the net assets of the Fund than would be the case if the Fund did not have significant investments in that sector. This may increase the risk of loss of an investment in a Fund and increase the volatility of a Fund’s NAV per share. From time to time, circumstances may affect a particular sector and the companies within such sector. For instance, economic or market factors, regulation or deregulation, and technological or other developments, may negatively impact all companies in a particular sector and therefore the value of a Fund’s portfolio could be adversely affected if it has significant holdings of securities of issuers in that sector. As of June 30, 2022, Chartwell Small Cap Value Fund had 26.5% of the value of its net assets invested in common stocks in the Financials sector, and Chartwell Short Duration Bond Fund had 31.8% of the value of its net assets invested in corporate bonds in the Financials sector.

Management has evaluated the Funds’ related events and transactions that occurred through the date of issuance of the Funds’ financial statements. There were no events or transactions that occurred during the fiscal period that materially impacted the amounts or disclosures in the Funds’ financial statements except for the following:
Effective as of the close of business on June 30, 2022, the six series of the Trust were reorganized into corresponding newly-created series of the Carillon Series Trust (“Carillon Chartwell Funds”) that are advised by CTA, Carillon Fund Distributions Inc. (“CFD”), and Carillon Family of Funds (“CFF”) (collectively), and subadvised by Advisor.

Effective July 1, 2022, new Investment Advisory Agreements between the Carillon Chartwell Funds and CTA provide for each Fund to pay CTA an annualized management fee based on a percentage of a Fund’s average daily net assets calculated and accrued according to the following schedule. The new Subadvisory Agreement between CTA and the Advisor provides for CTA to pay the Advisor a subadvisory fee pursuant to the same fee rate schedule.
| | | | |
Fund | | Average daily net assets | | Rate charged |
Carillon Chartwell Income Fund | | $0 to $1.75 billion | | 0.40% |
| | $1.75 billion to $3.5 billion | | 0.38% |

Carillon Chartwell Small Cap Growth Fund | | All Assets | | 0.75% |
Carillon Chartwell Small Cap Value Fund | | All Assets | | 0.80% |
| | | | |
Each fund has entered into an Administration Agreement with CTA under which each fund pays CTA for various administrative services at a rate of 0.10% of the average daily net assets for all share classes.
As a fund’s asset levels change, its fees and expenses may differ from those reflected in the fund’s fee tables. For example, as asset levels decline, expense ratios may increase. CTA has

contractually agreed to waive its investment advisory fee and/or reimburse certain expenses of a fund to the extent that annual operating expenses of each class exceed a percentage of that class’ average daily net assets through July 1, 2024, as follows:

Carillon Chartwell Short Duration High Yield Fund | | 0.49% |
Carillon Chartwell Small Cap Growth Fund | | 1.05% |
Carillon Chartwell Small Cap Value Fund | | 1.05% |
| | |
For each fund, the expense limitation excludes interest, taxes, brokerage commissions, costs relating to investments in other investment companies (acquired fund fees and expenses), dividend and interest expenses on short sales, expenses incurred in connection with any merger or reorganization, and extraordinary expenses.
CFD, a subsidiary of Eagle Asset Management, Inc., replaced Foreside as the Funds’ distributor effective July 1, 2022.
The ongoing novel coronavirus (“COVID- 19”) pandemic has disrupted markets globally and caused significant uncertainty in the global economy. The pandemic has resulted in, among other things, travel restrictions, closed international borders, prolonged quarantines, cancellations, and supply chain disruptions, as well as general concern and uncertainty. Although an economic expansion is underway, it continues to be uneven and characterized by meaningful dispersion across sectors and industries. The duration, extent, and ultimate impact of COVID-19 and the extent to which COVID-19 impacts the Funds are impossible to predict and will continue to evolve. The effects may impact the value and performance of the Funds, their ability to buy and sell investments at appropriate valuations, their ability to achieve their investment objectives, and their cash flows.
On February 24, 2022, Russia commenced a military attack on Ukraine. The outbreak of hostilities between the two countries could result in more widespread conflict and could have a severe adverse effect on the region and the markets. In addition, sanctions imposed on Russia by the United States and other countries, and any sanctions imposed in the future could have a significant adverse impact on the Russian economy and related markets. The price and liquidity of investments may fluctuate widely as a result of the conflict and related events. How long such conflict and related events will last and whether it will escalate further cannot be predicted, nor its effect on the Funds.

ABOUT YOUR FUNDS’ EXPENSES (Unaudited) |
Expense Examples
As a shareholder of the Funds, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, which may include redemption fees; and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees and other Fund expenses. The examples below are intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Funds and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds. A mutual fund’s ongoing costs are expressed as a percentage of its average net assets. This figure is known as the expense ratio.
These examples are based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period from January 1, 2022 to June 30, 2022.
Actual Expenses
The information in the row titled “Based on Actual Fund Return” of the table below provides actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in these columns, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the appropriate row for your Fund, under the column titled “Expenses Paid During Period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.
Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes
The information in the row titled “Based on Hypothetical 5% Return (before expenses)” of the table below provides hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on each Fund’s actual expense ratios and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not each Fund’s actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Funds with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds. To do so, compare these 5% hypothetical examples with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other mutual funds.
Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transaction costs, such as sales charges (load) or redemption fees. Therefore, this information is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transactional costs were included, your costs would have been higher.

BOARD CONSIDERATION AND APPROVAL OF INVESTMENT |
ADVISORY AGREEMENT (Unaudited) |
At a meeting of the Board of Trustees (the “Trustees” or the “Board”) of The Chartwell Funds (the “Trust”) held on May 4, 2022 (the “May 4 Meeting”), the Board, including the Trustees who are not “interested persons” of the Trust (the “Independent Trustees”) as defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”), reviewed and approved the continuance of the Investment Advisory Agreement (the “Existing Advisory Agreement”) between the Chartwell Investment Partners (the “Advisor”) and the Trust with respect to the Chartwell Income Fund (“Income Fund”), Chartwell Mid Cap Value Fund (“Mid Cap Value Fund”), Chartwell Short Duration High Yield Fund (“Short Duration High Yield Fund”), Chartwell Small Cap Growth Fund (“Small Cap Growth Fund”), Chartwell Small Cap Value Fund (“Small Cap Value Fund”) and Chartwell Short Duration Bond Fund (“Short Duration Bond Fund”), each a series of the Trust (each, a “Fund” and together, the “Funds”), for an additional one-year period or the closing of the Transaction (defined below), whichever is sooner.
In October 2021, TriState Capital Holdings, Inc. (“TSC”), the parent company of the Advisor, announced that it had entered into a definitive agreement with Raymond James Financial, Inc. (“RJF”) under which RJF would acquire TSC (the “Transaction”). As part of the Transaction, the Advisor would become a wholly owned subsidiary of Carillon Tower Advisers, Inc. (“CTA”), which is a wholly owned subsidiary of RJF, causing a change in control of the Advisor. In connection with the Transaction, the parties agreed to seek to reorganize each Fund into a corresponding newly created shell series of Carillon Series Trust (each, an Acquiring Fund”), which would be advised by CTA and sub-advised by the Advisor.
In December 2021, the Board approved an Agreement and Plan of Reorganization and Termination (the “Reorganization Plan”) pursuant to which each Fund would be reorganized into its corresponding Acquiring Fund, subject to the approval of the Reorganization Plan by each Fund’s shareholders at a meeting of shareholders scheduled for April 25, 2022, and the closing of the Transaction. The closing of the Reorganizations was scheduled to occur on or about July 1, 2022, but could be delayed due to regulatory or other considerations relating to the Reorganizations and/or the Transaction.
At the time of the May 4 Meeting, the Reorganization Plan had been approved by shareholders of the Mid Cap Value Fund, Short Duration Bond Fund and Small Cap Growth Fund at the April 25 shareholder meeting, and the shareholder meeting for the Income Fund, Short Duration High Yield Fund and Small Cap Value Fund (the “Adjourned Funds”) to vote on the Reorganization Plan had been adjourned to May 17, 2022. As discussed with the Board at the May 4 Meeting, if the closing of the Transaction were to occur prior to the Reorganization for an Adjourned Fund, the closing of the Transaction would cause a change in control of the Advisor and, therefore, the “assignment” and automatic termination of each Adjourned Fund’s Existing Advisory Agreement under its terms and provisions of the 1940 Act. Because the Adjourned Funds had not received requisite shareholder approval of the Reorganization at the time of the May 4 Meeting, and to enable the Advisor to continue to serve as the investment adviser of any Adjourned Fund that had not received shareholder approval of the Reorganization by the closing of the Transaction, the Board, including a majority of the Independent Trustees,
CHARTWELL FUNDS |
BOARD CONSIDERATION AND APPROVAL OF INVESTMENT |
ADVISORY AGREEMENT (Unaudited) (Continued) |
considered and approved an interim advisory agreement with the Advisor under Rule 15a-4 under the 1940 Act for any Adjourned Fund that did not receive shareholder approval of the Reorganization by the time of the closing of the Transaction (the “Initial Interim Agreement”).
The Board considered the Initial Interim Agreement at the same time it considered the Existing Advisory Agreement because the Initial Interim Agreement had terms and conditions that are substantially identical to those of the Existing Advisory Agreement, except as noted below, and the matters reviewed and information considered were the same, with the exception of the impact of the Transaction, which was previously considered by the Board. The Initial Interim Agreement would be effective upon the closing of the Transaction and would terminate upon the earlier of (i) the closing of the Reorganization or (ii) 150 days. The terms of the Initial Interim Agreement are substantively identical to the terms of the Existing Advisory Agreement, except for those terms mandated by Rule 15a-4 under the 1940 Act including: the term of the Initial Interim Agreement; that the Board or a majority of a Fund’s outstanding voting securities may terminate the Initial Interim Agreement at any time, without penalty, on ten days’ written notice (as opposed to sixty days’ written notice under the Existing Advisory Agreement); and that the compensation payable to the Advisor under the Initial Interim Agreement (which was the same as under the Existing Advisory Agreement) would be held in escrow pending shareholder approval and closing of the Reorganization.
In considering the continuation of the Existing Advisory Agreement and approval of the Initial Interim Agreement, the Independent Trustees reviewed and considered information provided by the Advisor at the May 4 Meeting and throughout the course of the year at meetings of the Board, including information provided in connection with the Board’s consideration of the Reorganizations. The Independent Trustees also reviewed and considered the information and materials provided in response to a request for information submitted to the Advisor on behalf of the Board, including statistical materials from Morningstar, an independent organization, comparing the performance of each Fund and the fees and expenses of each Fund with those of a peer group of funds. In connection with their review of each Fund, each Independent Trustee reviewed and considered all of the factors that he deemed relevant in approving the Existing Advisory Agreement and the Initial Interim Agreement, including, but not limited to: (i) the nature, extent and quality of the services provided by the Advisor; (ii) the investment performance of the Funds and the Advisor; (iii) the costs of the services provided and profits realized by the Advisor and its affiliates from their relationship with the Funds; (iv) the extent to which economies of scale are realized as the Funds grow; and (v) whether fee levels reflect these economies of scale for the benefit of Fund investors.
In their deliberations, the Independent Trustees considered all of the information provided, including the factors summarized below, in renewing the Existing Advisory Agreement and the Initial Interim Agreement with respect to each Fund. The Independent Trustees did not identify any single factor as being more or less important than any of the others, and individual Trustees may have weighed certain factors differently. The Independent Trustees received memoranda discussing the legal standards for their consideration of the continuation of the Existing Advisory Agreement and the approval of the Initial Interim Agreement and met separately in a private session with, and were assisted and advised by, their independent counsel.

ADVISORY AGREEMENT (Unaudited) (Continued) |
Nature, Extent and Quality of Services
The Trustees considered information about the nature, extent and quality of the services provided by the Advisor, including investment management services and operational and compliance support. The Trustees reviewed background, qualifications and experience of the Advisor’s personnel who are responsible for the day-to-day portfolio management of the Funds, and those who provide significant other services to the Funds. The Trustees considered the Advisor’s responsibilities in serving as the Funds’ investment advisor, including: supervising and managing the investment and reinvestment of each Fund’s assets; voting, exercising consents and exercising all other rights appertaining to such securities and other assets on behalf of the Fund through arrangements with a proxy advisory firm; supervising the investment program of the Fund and the composition of its investment portfolio; arranging for the purchase and sale of securities and other assets held in the investment portfolio of the Fund; monitoring and testing compliance with various policies and procedures of the Funds; assisting with the administration of the Trust’s liquidity risk management program; periodic reviews of intermediary services and related fees; and periodic reporting to the Board. The Trustees were provided with, and considered information regarding, the Advisor’s investment decision-making process and its trading and investment research functions. The Trustees considered the Funds’ compliance program, changes made to the compliance program throughout the year, the compliance reports periodically furnished to the Board, and the operations of the Funds and the Advisor during the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic. The Trustees also considered the marketing and distribution arrangements for the Funds, inflows and outflows throughout the year, and the current asset levels of the Funds. The Trustees concluded that they were satisfied with the nature, extent, and quality of services provided to each Fund by the Advisor.
Fund Performance
The Trustees reviewed the performance information for each Fund compiled by the Advisor and from Morningstar data for periods ended March 31, 2022. The Trustees reviewed each Fund’s performance in absolute terms and relative to the peer funds in its Morningstar investment category. The Trustees also reviewed the performance analysis prepared by the Advisor comparing each Fund’s performance relative to its benchmark index, over multiple performance periods, along with the Advisor’s explanation of the Funds’ performance. Among other things, the Trustees considered the following Fund-specific factors:
Income Fund. The Fund outperformed the category average and the Fund’s primary benchmark index for the one-, three- and five-year periods ended March 31, 2022. The Trustees considered that in 2019 the Fund transitioned to a new and expanded portfolio management team and noted that the Fund’s performance relative to peers had improved since the transition through March 31, 2022.
Mid Cap Value Fund. The Fund outperformed the category average and the Fund’s benchmark index for the one-year period ended March 31, 2022, and underperformed the category average and the Fund’s benchmark for the three- and five-year periods ended such date. The Advisor
CHARTWELL FUNDS |
BOARD CONSIDERATION AND APPROVAL OF INVESTMENT |
ADVISORY AGREEMENT (Unaudited) (Continued) |
noted that poor stock selection, sector and, to a greater degree, industry allocation detracted from the Fund’s performance relative to peers, as did the outperformance of lower quality stocks relative to higher quality positioning of the Fund.
Short Duration High Yield Fund. The Fund underperformed the category average and the Fund’s primary benchmark index for the one-, three- and five-year periods ended March 31, 2022. The Trustees considered that the Fund maintains a higher average quality and shorter average maturity than the traditional high yield bond funds that are included in the Morningstar investment category. The Advisor noted that the Fund invests in a narrow slice of the high yield bond market, for which the Advisor believes there is no appropriate replicable index and/or peer group. The Advisor further noted that the Fund seeks to generate attractive income with relatively low volatility over full market cycles.
Small Cap Growth Fund. The Fund, which was launched in 2017, outperformed the category average and the Fund’s benchmark index for the one- and three-year periods ended March 31, 2022.
Small Cap Value Fund. The Fund underperformed the category average and the Fund’s benchmark index for each of the one-, three- and five-year periods ended March 31, 2022. The Advisor noted that poor stock selection, sector and, to a greater degree, industry allocation detracted from the Fund’s performance relative to peers, as did the outperformance of lower quality stocks relative to the higher quality positioning of the Fund.
Short Duration Bond Fund. The Fund, which was launched in September 2021, outperformed the category average and the Fund’s benchmark index for the since-inception period ended March 31, 2022.
After considering the information provided and presented at the Meeting and at meetings throughout the year, including discussions with and explanations by the Advisor, the Trustees determined that the performance of each Fund was reasonable.
Advisory Fees and Expenses
The Board reviewed the fee and expense information for each Fund compiled from Morningstar data for periods as of the Funds’ and the peer funds’ respective fiscal year ends. The Board compared each Fund’s actual advisory fee and total net expense ratio (after waivers) with the peer funds in its Morningstar investment category. The Board also considered the size of each Fund in comparison to its peer funds. Additionally, the Board received and considered information about the fees charged to other accounts and strategies managed by the Advisor that use similar investment styles and noted that these accounts are not subject to the same regulatory requirements, Board reporting, separate website support, and client service responsibilities as the Funds. Among other things, the Trustees considered the following Fund-specific factors:
Income Fund. (1) The Fund’s actual advisory fee was lower than the category median of actual advisory fees charged to the peer funds included in the Fund’s Morningstar investment

(1) The Fund’s actual advisory fee was lower than the category median of actual advisory fees charged to the peer funds included in the Fund’s Morningstar investment category; (2) the Fund’s total net expense ratio was lower than the category average of total net expense ratios of the peer funds in the Fund’s Morningstar investment category; (3) the Advisor agreed to limit the Fund’s expense ratio for an additional year.

The Trustees concluded that the compensation paid to the Advisor under the Existing Advisory Agreement, and to be paid under the Initial Interim Agreement, and the total net expenses of each Fund, after waivers, were fair and reasonable in light of the nature and quality of the services provided, and expected to be provided, by the Advisor to each Fund.
Costs of Services and Profitability
The Trustees considered the financial information provided by the Advisor, including the costs and profits with respect to each Fund. The Trustees further considered that for each Fund, the Advisor was waiving a portion of its advisory fee and/or reimbursing certain fund expenses pursuant to an expense limitation agreement between Advisor and the Funds. The Trustees concluded that the profits of the Advisor from its relationship with the Funds were reasonable.

The Trustees also considered the extent to which the Advisor might derive ancillary benefits as a result of its relationships with the Funds (other than the receipt of its investment advisory fee), including any research received from broker-dealers providing execution services to the Funds and the intangible benefits of its association with the Funds generally. The Advisor noted that while it receives certain research and execution services from brokers as a result of certain Fund transactions, the Advisor has not received any material ancillary benefits from its relationship with the Funds due to the size of the Funds and the limited amount of brokerage commissions generated by the Funds’ trading activities. Based upon its consideration of all these factors, the Trustees concluded that the level of profits realized by the Advisor from providing services to the Funds was not excessive in view of the nature, extent and quality of services provided to the Funds.
Economies of Scale
The Trustees considered the size of each Fund and noted the Advisor had instituted breakpoints in the advisory fee for the largest Fund, the Income Fund. The Trustees also noted that although there were no advisory fee breakpoints on the Mid Cap Value Fund, Short Duration High Yield Fund, Small Cap Growth Fund, Small Cap Value Fund and Short Duration Bond Fund, the assets levels of those Funds were not currently likely to lead to significant economies of scale and that any such economies would be considered in the future as those Funds’ assets grow.
Conclusion
In addition to the considerations summarized above, the Board considered the continuation of the Advisory Agreement for each Fund in the context of the Reorganizations and the Transaction. Based on its review, consideration and evaluation of all factors it believed relevant, including the above-described factors and conclusions, the Board, including the Independent Trustees, unanimously approved the continuation of the Existing Advisory Agreement and approved the Initial Interim Agreement.
* * *
At a special meeting of the Board held on May 25, 2022 (the “May 25 Meeting”), the Board, including the Independent Trustees, reviewed and approved a new interim advisory agreement between the Advisor and the Trust with respect to each Fund (the “New Interim Agreement”).
Three weeks earlier, at the May 4 Meeting, the Board had considered and approved the continuation of the Existing Advisory Agreement with the Advisor for each Fund and approved the Initial Interim Agreement with the Advisor for any Adjourned Fund that did not receive shareholder approval of the Reorganization by the time of the closing of the Transaction. At the reconvened meeting of shareholders of the Adjourned Funds held on May 17, 2022, shareholders of each Adjourned Fund approved the Reorganization, rendering the Initial Interim Agreement unavailable.
At the May 25 Meeting, the Board was informed that the closing of the Reorganizations, which was scheduled to occur on or around July 1, 2022, would occur approximately 30 days after the

ADVISORY AGREEMENT (Unaudited) (Continued) |
closing date of the Transaction. Because the closing of the Reorganizations was now to occur after, and not concurrent with, the closing of the Transaction, the closing of the Transaction would cause a change in control of the Advisor and, therefore, result in the “assignment” and automatic termination of each Fund’s Existing Advisory Agreement with the Advisor under its terms and provisions of the 1940 Act. In order to enable the Advisor to continue to serve as the Funds’ investment adviser for the period from the time of the Transaction closing until the closing of the Reorganizations, the Board considered and approved the New Interim Agreement under Rule 15a-4 of the 1940 Act.
The Board considered that the New Interim Agreement had the same terms and conditions as the Initial Interim Agreement, including the investment advisory fees, approved at the May 4 Meeting and would apply to each Fund. The New Interim Agreement would be effective upon the closing of the Transaction and would terminate upon the earlier of (i) the closing of the Reorganization or (ii) 150 days.
The Board’s evaluation of the New Interim Agreement reflected the information received and considered by the Board at the May 4 Meeting and throughout the course of the year at meetings of the Board, including information provided in connection with the Board’s consideration of the Reorganizations, and the findings made by the Board in respect of the Existing Advisory Agreement and the Initial Interim Agreement at the May 4 Meeting. The Independent Trustees’ evaluations of the New Interim Agreement also reflected the knowledge and familiarity gained as Board members of the Funds with respect to services provided by the Advisor to the Funds under the Existing Advisory Agreement and services proposed to be provided to the Funds under the New Interim Agreement. The Board noted the short period of time since the May 4 Meeting and considered representations from the Advisor that there were no material changes to the information the Board considered at the May 4 Meeting when it performed a full annual review of the Existing Advisory Agreement and approved the continuation of the Existing Advisory Agreement and approved the Initial Interim Agreement, concluding, among other things, that the compensation paid to the Advisor under the Existing Advisory Agreement, and to be paid under the Initial Interim Agreement, by each Fund was reasonable in light of the nature, scope and quality of the services provided, and expected to be provided, by the Advisor to the Fund. The Board noted that it did not receive any information at the May 25 Meeting that would affect the conclusions reached by the Board at the May 4 Meeting.
In its deliberations, the Board considered the above and other relevant factors, principally the need to provide for uninterrupted investment advisory and other services required for the operations of the Funds following the automatic termination of the Existing Advisory Agreement upon the closing of the Transaction until the closing of the Reorganizations. After careful consideration of all factors, the Board believed that approval of the New Interim Agreement would be in the best interests of each Fund and its shareholders. The Independent Trustees received a memorandum discussing the legal standards for their consideration of the New Interim Agreement, and were assisted and advised by, their independent counsel.

LIQUIDITY RISK MANAGEMENT PROGRAM (Unaudited) |
The Funds have adopted and implemented a written liquidity risk management program (the “Liquidity Program”) as required by Rule 22e-4 (the “Liquidity Rule”) under the Investment Company Act of 1940. The Liquidity Program is reasonably designed to assess and manage each Fund’s liquidity risk, taking into consideration, among other factors, the Funds’ investment strategy and the liquidity of its portfolio investments during normal and reasonably foreseeable stressed conditions; its short and long-term cash flow projections; and its cash holdings and access to other funding sources. The Funds’ Board of Trustees approved the Trust’s Liquidity Administrator Committee who is responsible for the Liquidity Program’s administration. The Liquidity Administrator Committee maintains Liquidity Program oversight and reports to the Board on at least an annual basis regarding the Liquidity Program’s operational effectiveness through a written report (the “Report”). The Report outlined the adequacy and effectiveness of the Liquidity Program’s operations since its inception (the “Review Period”) and was presented to the Board of Trustees for consideration at its meeting held on May 4, 2022. During the Review Period, none of the Funds experienced unusual stress or disruption to its operations related to purchase and redemption activity. Also, during the Review Period the Funds held adequate levels of cash and highly liquid investments to meet shareholder redemption activities in accordance with applicable requirements. The Report concluded that (i) the Liquidity Program is reasonably designed to prevent violations of the Liquidity Rule and (ii) the Liquidity Program has been effectively implemented.
