For securities traded on NASDAQ, the NASDAQ Official Closing Price will be used. If available, debt securities are priced based upon valuations provided by 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 at an evaluated bid price 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. On the first day a new debt security purchase is recorded, if a price is not available on the automated pricing feeds from our primary and secondary pricing vendors nor is it available from an independent broker, the security may be valued at its purchase price. Each day thereafter, the debt security will be valued according to the Trusts’ fair value procedures until an independent source can be secured. Debt obligations with remaining maturities of sixty days or less may be valued at their amortized cost, which approximates market value provided that it is determined the amortized cost continues to approximate fair value. Should existing credit, liquidity or interest rate conditions in the relevant markets and issuer specific circumstances suggest that amortized cost does not approximate fair value, then the amortized cost method may not be used. The prices for foreign securities are reported in local currency and converted to U.S. dollars using currency exchange rates.
Options for which the primary market is a national securities exchange are valued at the last bid price on the exchange on which they are traded, or, in the absence of any sale, at the closing bid price for long positions and at the closing ask price for written options. Options not traded on a national securities exchange are valued at the last quoted bid price.
Securities for which market prices are not “readily available” are valued in accordance with fair value procedures (the “Fair Value Procedures”) established by the Adviser and approved by the Trust’s Board of Trustees (the “Board”). Pursuant to Rule 2a-5 under the 1940 Act, the Board has designated the Adviser as the “valuation designee” to determine the fair value of securities and other instruments for which no readily available market quotations are available. The Fair Value Procedures are implemented through a Fair Value Committee (the “Committee”) of the Adviser.
Some of the more common reasons that may necessitate that a security be valued using fair value procedures include: the security’s trading has been halted or suspended; the security has been de-listed from a national exchange; the security’s primary trading market is temporarily closed at a time when under normal conditions it would be open; the security has not been traded for an extended period of time; the security’s primary pricing source is not able or willing to provide a price; or trading of the security is subject to local government-imposed restrictions. When a security is valued in accordance with the fair value procedures, the Committee will determine the value after taking into consideration relevant information reasonably available to the Committee. As of April 30, 2024, the total market value of securities in the Kopernik Global All-Cap Fund valued in accordance with fair value procedures was $100,943,761 or 4.7% of the Fund’s net assets. As of April 30, 2024, the Kopernik International Fund valued in accordance with fair value procedures was $36,154,167 or 6.7% of the Fund’s net assets.
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 Funds calculate their net asset values. The closing prices of such securities may no
31
| | |
THE ADVISORS’ INNER CIRCLE FUND II | | KOPERNIK FUNDS APRIL 30, 2024 (Unaudited) |
longer reflect their market value at the time the Funds calculate net asset values 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 Adviser of the Funds 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 Intercontinental Exchange Data Pricing & Reference Data, LLC. (“ICE”) as a third party fair valuation vendor. ICE provides a fair value for foreign securities in 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 ICE in the event that there is a movement in the U.S. market that exceeds a specific threshold established by the Committee. The Committee establishes 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 Fund values its non-U.S. securities that exceed the applicable “confidence interval” based upon the fair values provided by ICE. 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 ICE are not reliable, the Adviser contacts SEI Investments Global Fund Services (the “Administrator”) and may request 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 that corresponding currency based on the fair value prices provided by ICE using the predetermined confidence interval discussed above.
In accordance with authoritative guidance on fair value measurement under U.S. GAAP, the Funds disclose fair value of its investments in a hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure the fair value. The objective of a fair value measurement is to determine the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date (an exit price). Accordingly, the fair value hierarchy gives the highest priority to quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3).
The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are described below:
Level 1 — Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical, unrestricted assets or liabilities that the Fund has the ability to access at the measurement date;
Level 2 — Other significant observable inputs (includes quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, referenced indices, quoted prices in inactive markets, adjusted quoted prices in active markets, adjusted quoted
32
| | |
THE ADVISORS’ INNER CIRCLE FUND II | | KOPERNIK FUNDS APRIL 30, 2024 (Unaudited) |
prices on foreign equity securities that were adjusted in accordance with pricing procedures approved by the Board, etc.); and
Level 3 — Prices, inputs or exotic modeling techniques which are both significant to the fair value measurement and unobservable (supported by little or no market activity).
Investments are classified within the level of the lowest significant input considered in determining fair value. Investments classified within Level 3 whose fair value measurement considers several inputs may include Level 1 or Level 2 inputs as components of the overall fair value measurement.
The following table summarizes the quantitative inputs and assumptions used for items categorized as recurring Level 3 assets as of April 30, 2024. The following disclosures also include qualitative information on the sensitivity of the fair value measurements to changes in the significant unobservable inputs.

The unobservable inputs used to determine fair value of recurring Level 3 assets may have similar or diverging impacts on valuation. Significant increases and decreases in these inputs in isolation and interrelationships between those inputs could result in significantly higher or lower fair value measurement.
Federal Income Taxes — It is the Funds’ intention 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, as amended. Accordingly, no provisions for Federal income taxes have been made in the financial statements.
The Funds evaluate tax positions taken or expected to be taken in the course of preparing the Funds’ tax returns to determine whether it is “more-likely-than-not” (i.e., greater than 50-percent) that each tax position will be sustained upon examination by a taxing authority based on the technical merits of the position. Tax positions not deemed to meet the more-likely-than-not threshold are recorded as a tax benefit or expense in the current period. 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
33
| | |
THE ADVISORS’ INNER CIRCLE FUND II | | KOPERNIK FUNDS APRIL 30, 2024 (Unaudited) |
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 six months ended April 30, 2024, 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 Statements of Operations. During the six months ended April 30, 2024, the Funds did not incur any significant interest or penalties.
Withholding taxes on foreign dividends have been provided for in accordance with the Funds’ understanding of the applicable country’s tax rules and rates. The Funds or their agent files withholding tax reclaims in certain jurisdictions to recover certain amounts previously withheld. The Funds may record a reclaim receivable based on collectability, which includes factors such as the jurisdiction’s applicable laws, payment history and market convention. Professional fees paid to those that provide assistance in receiving the tax reclaims, which generally are contingent upon successful receipt of reclaimed amounts, are recorded in Professional Fees on the Statements of Operations once the amounts are due. The professional fees related to pursuing these tax reclaims are not subject to the Adviser’s expense limitation agreement.
Security Transactions and Investment Income — Security transactions are accounted for on trade date. Costs used in determining realized gains and losses on the sale of investment securities are based on specific identification. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date. Interest income is recognized on the accrual basis from settlement date. Certain dividends from foreign securities will be recorded as soon as the Fund is informed of the dividend if such information is obtained subsequent to the ex-dividend date. Discounts and premiums on securities purchased are accreted and amortized.
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.
Forward Foreign Currency Exchange Contracts — The Funds may enter into forward foreign currency exchange contracts to protect the value of securities held and related receivables and payables against changes in future foreign exchange rates. A forward currency contract is an agreement between two parties to buy and sell currency at a set price on a future date. The market value of the contract will fluctuate with changes in currency exchange rates. The contract is marked-to-market daily using the current
34
| | |
THE ADVISORS’ INNER CIRCLE FUND II | | KOPERNIK FUNDS APRIL 30, 2024 (Unaudited) |
forward rate and the change in market value is recorded by the Funds as unrealized gain or loss. The Funds recognize realized gains or losses when the contract is closed, equal to the difference between the value of the contract at the time it was opened and the value at the time it was closed. Any realized or unrealized gains (loss) during the period are presented on the Statements of Operations. Risks may arise from unanticipated movements in the value of a foreign currency relative to the U.S. dollar. Risks may also arise upon entering into these contracts from the potential inability of counterparties to meet the terms of their contracts and are generally limited to the amount of unrealized gain on the contracts at the date of default. There were no forward foreign currency contracts for the six months ended April 30, 2024.
Options Written/Purchased — The Funds may purchase and write put and call options on indices and enter into related closing transactions. A put option on a security gives the purchaser of the option the right to sell, and the writer of the option the obligation to buy, the underlying security at any time during the option period. A call option on a security gives the purchaser of the option the right to buy, and the writer of the option the obligation to sell, the underlying security at any time during the option period. The premium paid to the writer is the consideration for undertaking the obligations under the option contract. The market value of an option generally reflects the market price of an underlying security. Other principal factors affecting market value include supply and demand, interest rates, the pricing volatility of the underlying security and the time remaining until the expiration date. Premiums received or paid from writing or purchasing options which expire unexercised are treated by the Funds on the expiration date as realized gains or losses. The difference between the premium and the amount paid or received on effecting a closing purchase or sale transaction, including brokerage commissions, is also treated as a realized gain or loss. If an option is exercised, the premium paid or received is added to the cost of the purchase or proceeds from the sale in determining whether a Fund has realized a gain or a loss. Any realized or unrealized gains (loss) during the period are presented on the Statements of Operations. Risks associated with options transactions include: (i) the success of a hedging strategy may depend on an ability to predict movements in the prices of individual securities, fluctuations in markets and movements in interest rates; (ii) there may be an imperfect correlation between the movement in prices of options and the securities underlying them; (iii) there may not be a liquid secondary market for options; and (iv) while a Fund will receive a premium when it writes covered call options, it may not participate fully in a rise in the market value of the underlying security. The Kopernik Global All-Cap Fund had open option contracts as of April 30, 2024 as disclosed in the Funds’ Schedule of Investments.
For the six months ended April 30, 2024, the quarterly average balances of options held by the Funds were as follows:

Illiquid Securities — A security is considered illiquid if it cannot be sold or disposed of in the ordinary course of business within seven days or less for its approximate carrying value on the books of a Fund. Valuations of illiquid securities may differ significantly from the values that would have been used had an active market value for these securities existed.
Cash — Idle cash may be swept into various time deposit accounts and is classified as cash on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities. The Funds maintain cash in bank deposit accounts which, at times may exceed United States federally insured limits. Amounts invested are available on the same business day.
Expenses — Most expenses of the Trust can be directly attributed to a particular fund. Expenses which cannot be directly attributed to a particular fund are apportioned among the funds of the Trust based on the number of funds and/or relative net assets.
Classes — Class specific expenses are borne by that class of shares. Income, realized and unrealized gains (losses), and non-class specific expenses are allocated to the respective class on the basis of relative daily net assets.
Dividends and Distributions to Shareholders — The Funds distribute substantially all of their net investment income annually. Any net realized capital gains are distributed annually. All distributions are recorded on ex-dividend date.
Redemption Fees — The Funds retains a redemption fee of 2.00% on redemptions of capital shares held for less than ninety days. Such fees are retained by the Funds for the benefit of the remaining shareholders. For the six months ended April 30, 2024, Kopernik Global All-Cap Fund Class A Shares did not have any redemption fees.
3. Transactions with Affiliates:
Certain officers of the Trust are also employees of the Administrator and/or SEI Investments Distribution Co. (the “Distributor”). Such officers are paid no fees by the Trust, other than the Chief Compliance Officer (“CCO”) as described below, for serving as officers of the Trust. The services provided by the CCO and his staff, whom are employees of the Administrator, are paid for by the Trust as incurred. The services include regulatory oversight of the Trust’s Advisors and service providers as required by SEC regulations. The CCO’s services and fees have been approved by and are reviewed by the Board.
4. Administration, Distribution, Shareholder Servicing, Custodian and Transfer Agent Agreements:
The Funds and the Administrator are parties to an Administration Agreement under which the Administrator provides management and administrative services to the Funds. For these services, the Administrator is paid an asset-based fee, which will vary depending on the
36
| | |
THE ADVISORS’ INNER CIRCLE FUND II | | KOPERNIK FUNDS APRIL 30, 2024 (Unaudited) |
number of share classes and the average daily net assets of the Funds. For the six months ended April 30, 2024, the Kopernik Global All-Cap Fund and Kopernik International Fund paid $743,917 and $189,910, respectively, for these services.
The Funds have adopted a distribution plan with respect to the Class A Shares and Investor Class Shares in accordance with the provisions of Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act, which regulates circumstances under which an investment company may directly or indirectly bear expenses relating to the distribution of its shares. Because these fees are paid out of the Funds’ assets continuously, over time, these fees will increase the cost of your investment. Under the distribution plan, the Funds may receive up to 0.25% of the average daily net assets of the Class A Shares and Investor Class Shares as compensation for distribution and shareholder services.
SS&C Global Investor & Distribution Solutions, Inc. (formerly, DST Asset Manager Solutions, Inc.) serves as transfer agent and dividend disbursing agent for the Fund under the transfer agency agreement with the Trust.
During the six months ended April 30, 2024, the Kopernik Global All-Cap Fund and Kopernik International Fund earned cash management credits of $38,045 and $8,705, respectively, which were used to offset transfer agent expenses. These amounts are labeled “Fees Paid Indirectly” on the Statements of Operations.
Brown Brothers Harriman & Co. acts as custodian (the “Custodian”) for the Funds. The Custodian plays no role in determining the investment policies of the Funds or which securities are to be purchased or sold by the Funds.
5. Investment Advisory Agreement:
Under the terms of an investment advisory agreement, the Adviser provides investment advisory services to the Funds at a fee calculated at an annual rate of 0.90% of the Funds’ average daily net assets. The Adviser has contractually agreed (effective November 1, 2013 for the Kopernik Global All-Cap Fund and June 30, 2015 (revised February 8, 2017 and March 1, 2018) for the Kopernik International Fund) to reduce its fees and/or reimburse expenses in order to keep total annual fund operating expenses after fee reductions and/or expense reimbursements (excluding interest, taxes, brokerage commissions, acquired fund fees and expenses and extraordinary expenses (collectively, “excluded expenses”)) from exceeding certain levels as set forth below until February 28, 2025 (the “Contractual Expense Limit”). Refer to waiver of investment advisory fees on the Statement of Operations for fees waived for the six months ended April 30, 2024. This agreement may be terminated: (i) by the Board, for any reason at any time, or (ii) by the Adviser, upon ninety (90) days’ prior written notice to the Trust, effective as of the close of business on February 28, 2025. During the six months ended April 30, 2024, the Funds did not incur any recoupments. Reimbursement of previously waived fees and reimbursed expenses would be recognized as Recovery of Investment Advisory fees previously waived in the Statements of Operations.

Prior to March 1, 2018, the Contractual Expense Limit for the Kopernik International Fund was 0.70% for Investor Class Shares and 0.45% for Class I Shares.
If at any point it becomes unnecessary for the Adviser to reduce fees or make expense reimbursements, the Adviser may receive from the Funds the difference between the total annual fund operating expenses (not including excluded expenses) and the Contractual Expense Limit to recover all or a portion of its prior fee reductions or expense reimbursements made during the preceding three-year period during which this agreement (or any other agreement) was in place.
For the six months ended April 30, 2024, the Funds have completed recapturing previously waived fees by the Adviser.

9. 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 or (loss) on investment transactions for a reporting period may differ significantly from distributions during the year. The book/tax differences may be temporary or permanent. The permanent differences are primarily related to investments in Passive Foreign Investment Companies (“PFICs”) and foreign currency. To the extent these differences are permanent in nature, they are charged or credited to distributable earnings (loss) or paid-in capital, as appropriate, in the period that the differences arise.
The tax character of dividends and distributions declared for the Funds during the years ended October 31, 2023 and October 31, 2022 were as follows:
| | | | | | | | | | | | |
| | Ordinary Income | | | Long-Term Capital Gain | | | Total | |

THE ADVISORS’ INNER CIRCLE FUND II | | KOPERNIK FUNDS APRIL 30, 2024 (Unaudited) |
For Federal income tax purposes the difference between Federal tax cost and book cost primarily relates to investments in derivatives, passive foreign investment companies and losses from wash sales which cannot be used for Federal income tax purposes in the current year and have been deferred for use in future years. The federal tax cost and aggregate gross unrealized appreciation and depreciation on investments held by the Funds at April 30, 2024, were as follows:
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
| | Federal Tax Cost | | | Aggregate Gross Unrealized Appreciation | | | Aggregate Gross Unrealized Depreciation | | | Net Unrealized Depreciation | |
Kopernik Global All-Cap Fund | | $ | 2,162,604,249 | | | $ | 371,357,792 | | | $ | (450,227,177) | | | $ | (78,869,385) | |
Kopernik International Fund | | | 569,601,298 | | | | 65,513,747 | | | | (116,791,076) | | | | (51,277,329) | |
10. Risks:
The Funds invest in securities of foreign issuers in various countries. These investments may involve certain considerations and risks not typically associated with investments in the United States as a result of, among other factors, the possibility of future political and economic developments and the level of governmental supervision and regulation of securities markets in the respective countries.
The Funds may be subject to taxes imposed by countries in which they invest. Such taxes are generally based on either income or gains earned or repatriated. The Funds accrue and apply such taxes to net investment income, net realized gains and net unrealized gains as income and/or capital gains are earned. The principal risk factors affecting shareholders’ investments in the Funds are set forth below. The following risks pertain to the Funds, unless otherwise noted.
Convertible and Preferred Securities Risk — Convertible and preferred securities have many of the same characteristics as stocks, including many of the same risks. In addition, convertible securities may be more sensitive to changes in interest rates than stocks. Convertible securities may also have credit ratings below investment grade, meaning that they carry a higher risk of failure by the issuer to pay principal and/or interest when due.
Depositary Receipts Risk — Depositary receipts are certificates evidencing ownership of shares of a foreign issuer that are issued by depositary banks and generally trade on an established market. Depositary receipts are subject to many of the risks associated with investing directly in foreign securities, including, among other things, political, social and economic developments abroad, currency movements, and different legal, regulatory and tax environments.
Equity Risk — Since the Funds purchase equity securities, the Funds are subject to the risk that stock prices will fall over short or extended periods of time. Historically, the equity markets have moved in cycles, and the value of the Funds’ equity securities may fluctuate drastically from day to day. Individual companies may report poor results or be negatively affected by industry and/or economic trends and developments. The prices of securities issued by such companies may suffer a decline in response. In addition, the impact of any epidemic, pandemic or natural disaster, or widespread fear that such events may occur, could negatively
42
| | |
THE ADVISORS’ INNER CIRCLE FUND II | | KOPERNIK FUNDS APRIL 30, 2024 (Unaudited) |
affect the global economy, as well as the economies of individual countries, the financial performance of individual companies and sectors, and the markets in general in significant and unforeseen ways. Any such impact could adversely affect the prices and liquidity of the securities and other instruments in which the Funds invest, which in turn could negatively impact the Funds’ performance and cause losses on your investment in the Funds. These factors contribute to price volatility, which is the principal risk of investing in the Funds.
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 foreign currency risk. Foreign currency risk is the risk that foreign currencies will decline in value relative to the U.S. dollar or, in the case of hedged positions, that the U.S. dollar, in which case, 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.
Foreign/Emerging and Frontier Market Security Risk — Non-U.S. securities may be subject to additional risks due to, among other things, political, social and economic developments abroad, currency movements and different legal, regulatory and tax environments. Non-U.S. securities are also subject to risks associated with the potential imposition of economic and other sanctions against a particular foreign country, its nationals or industries or businesses within the country. In addition, periodic U.S. Government restrictions on investments in issuers from certain foreign countries may require the Funds to sell such investments at inopportune times, which could result in losses to the Funds. These additional risks may be heightened with respect to emerging and frontier market countries since political turmoil and rapid changes in economic conditions are more likely to occur in these countries.
Geographic Focus Risk — To the extent that a large portion of their portfolios is invested in a particular country or region, the Funds may be more susceptible to economic, political, regulatory or other events or conditions affecting issuers within that country or region. As a result, the Funds may be subject to greater price volatility and risk of loss than a fund holding more geographically diverse investments.
Sector Focus Risk — Because the Fund may, from time to time, be more heavily invested in particular sectors, the value of its shares may be especially sensitive to factors and economic risks that specifically affect those sectors. As a result, the Fund’s share price may fluctuate more widely than the value of shares of a mutual fund that invests in a broader range of sectors.
Liquidity Risk — Certain securities, including privately placed securities and securities of emerging or frontier market issuers, may be difficult or impossible to sell at the time and the price that the Funds would like. The Funds may have to accept a lower price to sell a security, sell other securities to raise cash, or give up an investment opportunity, any of which could have a negative effect on Fund management or performance.
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 Funds 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.

| | |
THE ADVISORS’ INNER CIRCLE FUND II | | KOPERNIK FUNDS APRIL 30, 2024 (Unaudited) |
Sanctions Risk — On February 24, 2022, Russia launched a large-scale invasion of Ukraine, significantly amplifying already existing geopolitical tensions. Russia’s actions and the resulting responses by the United States and other countries could increase volatility and uncertainty in the financial markets and adversely affect regional and global economies. The United States and other countries have imposed broad-ranging economic sanctions on Russia, certain Russian individuals, banking entities and corporations, and Belarus as a response to Russia’s invasion of Ukraine and may impose sanctions on other countries. The extent and duration of the war in Ukraine and the longevity and severity of sanctions remain unknown, but they could have a significant adverse impact on the European economy as well as the price and availability of certain commodities, including oil and natural gas, throughout the world. These sanctions, and the resulting disruption of the Russian economy, may cause volatility in other regional and global markets and may negatively impact the performance of various sectors and industries, as well as companies in other countries, which could have a negative effect on the performance of the Fund. The sanctions and/or any retaliatory action by Russia could also require the Fund to freeze any existing investments in Russian companies or prohibit the Fund from selling or transacting in these investments and could potentially impact the Fund’s liquidity. In general terms, the overall negative impact to the Fund will depend on the extent to which the Fund is prohibited from selling or otherwise transacting in its investments at any given time and whether a fair market valuation can be readily obtained, particularly for any Russia currency-denominated investments and investments in U.S. dollar-denominated depositary receipts representing securities of Russian issuers.
Small and Medium Capitalization Companies Risk — The risk that small and medium capitalization companies in which the Funds invest may be more vulnerable to adverse business or economic events than larger, more established companies. In particular, small and medium capitalization companies may have limited product lines, markets and financial resources, and may depend upon a relatively small management group. Therefore, small capitalization and medium capitalization stocks may be more volatile than those of larger companies. Small capitalization and medium capitalization stocks may be traded over-the-counter or listed on an exchange. The market for small and medium capitalization companies may be less liquid than the market for larger capitalization companies.
Valuation Risk — Valuation risk is the risk that certain securities may be difficult to value and/or valued incorrectly. This risk may be especially pronounced for investments that may be illiquid or may become illiquid.
11. Concentration of Shareholders:
At April 30, 2024, the percentage of total shares outstanding held by shareholders for each Fund, which are comprised of omnibus accounts that were held on behalf of multiple underlying shareholders was as follows:
| | | | |
| | No. of Shareholders | | % Ownership |
| | |
Kopernik Global All-Cap Fund, Class A Shares | | 2 | | 50% |
| | |
Kopernik Global All-Cap Fund, Class I Shares | | 4 | | 65% |
| | |
Kopernik International Fund, Class I Shares | | 4 | | 72% |
| | |
Kopernik International Fund, Investor Class Shares | | 1 | | 65% |

| | |
THE ADVISORS’ INNER CIRCLE FUND II | | KOPERNIK FUNDS APRIL 30, 2024 (Unaudited) |
12. Indemnifications:
In the normal course of business, the Funds enter into contracts that provide general indemnifications. The Funds’ maximum exposure under these arrangements is dependent on future claims that may be made against the Funds and, therefore, cannot be established; however, based on experience, the risk of loss from such claim is considered remote.
13. Subsequent Events:
The Funds have evaluated the need for additional disclosures and/or adjustments resulting from subsequent events through the date the financial statements were issued. Based on this evaluation, no additional disclosures and/or adjustments were required to the financial statements.

DISCLOSURE OF FUND EXPENSES (Unaudited) |
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 your 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 (November 1, 2023 to April 30, 2024).
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 “Expense Paid During Period” column with those that appear in the same charts in the shareholder reports for other mutual funds.
