DEAR SHAREHOLDER:

I am pleased to present the inaugural JOHCM Funds Trust Annual Report for the 12-months ended September 30, 2021. As you are aware, and thanks to your approval, the JOHCM Funds were reorganized into JOHCM Funds Trust in July. We believe the reorganizations were in the best interests of shareholders by providing each fund with oversight by a dedicated board of trustees with responsibility for a smaller number of funds. It also allowed us to directly engage with key third party service providers and negotiate lower fees for the services they perform. As part of our ongoing commitment to shareholders, JOHCM also agreed to lower the contractual expense limitations for each of the JOHCM Funds. We believe the reorganizations are a natural progression for the JOHCM Funds as assets have grown by 25% year over year to $14.6B and better position JOHCM to be able to capitalize on new opportunities to expand our product range to better serve our shareholders.

In light of the above and in line with our strategic priorities, JOHCM’s parent company, Pendal Group Limited, closed on the acquisition of Thompson, Siegel and Walmsley (“TSW”) on July 22nd. TSW is a Richmond, Virginia based value-oriented investment manager with over 50 years of operating history, and $23.9B in assets under management. TSW’s strategy range includes International and Domestic equity, as well as Multi-Asset and Fixed Income capabilities. This strategic acquisition significantly broadens the range of investment solutions that we can offer to clients across the U.S. market. As complementary businesses with almost no overlap of investment strategies, we will be better placed to take advantage of the growth opportunities we see in the U.S. market.

Since the TSW acquisition, we have been focused on bringing select TSW strategies to market under JOHCM Funds Trust. The first step in this product evolution was the launch of the TSW High Yield Bond Fund in late October. In addition, we expect to launch the TSW Emerging Markets Fund by year-end. We also expect, subject to shareholder approval, to reorganize the existing TS&W Equity Portfolio (Large Cap Value) into a newly established fund of JOHCM Funds Trust in December 2021. These new TSW branded funds, in conjunction with the August launch of our first fund under the Regnan brand - Regnan Global Equity Impact Solutions, which focuses on responsible investing solutions, will provide an enhanced product range to help clients meet the challenges of an ever-evolving investment landscape.

The performance data quoted represents past performance; past performance does not guarantee future results. The investment return and principal value of an investment will fluctuate so that an investor’s shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. The Fund’s current performance may be lower or higher than the performance data quoted. Investors may obtain performance information current to the most recent month-end, within 7 business days, by calling 866-260-9549 or 312-557-5913.

The Fund’s benchmarks for performance comparison purposes are the: Bloomberg US Aggregate Bond Index and the I.C.E. BofAML BB-B Global High Yield Constrained Index. The Bloomberg US Aggregate Bond Index is a broad-based benchmark that measures the investment grade U.S. dollar-denominated, fixed-rate taxable bond market, including Treasuries, government-related and corporate securities, MBS (agency fixed-rate and hybrid ARM passthroughs), ABS, and CMBS. The I.C.E. BofAML BB-B Global High Yield Constrained Index contains all securities in The I.C.E. BofAML Global High Yield Index rated BB1 through B3, based on an average of Moody’s, S&P and Fitch, but caps issuer exposure at 2%. The table reflects the theoretical reinvestment of dividends on securities in the indices. The impact of transaction costs and the deduction of expenses associated with a mutual fund, such as investment management and administration fees, are not reflected in the indices calculations. It is not possible to invest directly in an index.

Investment Philosophy and Process

The Fund aims to preserve capital and deliver returns through a combination of income and modest capital appreciation. The Fund invests, under normal circumstances, at least 80% of its net assets in fixed income securities across a wide range of maturities. The securities can include investment grade corporate debt, high yield securities, convertible bonds (including contingent convertible bonds), preferred stock, floating-rate debt, collateralized debt, municipal debt, foreign debt (including emerging markets), commercial paper, loans and loan participations. The Fund may also invest up to 10% of its net assets in dividend paying equities of companies of any size.

Performance

The Fund’s Institutional share class returned 5.42% for the 12-month period to September 30, 2021. Inflation fears and the Federal Reserve response function were the primary topic in markets for much of the year. Federal Reserve Bank Governors, CEOs, and investors alike have weighed in on the shades of meaning of the word “transitory”. One thing is certain, transitory inflation looks like persistent inflation until it wanes. With the tapering timeline now clearer, the open question is when the Federal Reserve will begin raising rates. We have seen increasing focus on the disfunction of our once tightly orchestrated logistics chain. The problems do not just stem from restarting a supply chain that was shut down during the pandemic – though there are clearly periodic areas globally where COVID causes delays as we have recently seen in Vietnam – but inbound containers at ports like Los Angeles and Long Beach are nearly 20% higher than during similar periods of 2019.

The top performers over the period were Innoviva convertible bonds, Kraft Heinz Food long dated bonds and Eagle Point. On the flip side, Fastly convertible bonds, Spotify and Twitter were the main laggards.

In terms of our outlook, our base case remains as follows, but we are vigilant for disconfirming evidence:

 

   

The reflationary regime continues

   

Interest rates continue to normalize

   

The Fed will begin to taper its quantitative easing measures on schedule, but will continue to distance itself from the threat of rate increases

   

Supply chain-based shortages are likely to get worse before they get better, but a persistent consumer will find a way to fight through the disruption to spend strongly on the holidays.

The Fund’s benchmark for performance comparison purposes is the Morgan Stanley Capital International (“MSCI”) Emerging Markets Index. The Index is a free float-adjusted market capitalization index that is designed to measure equity market performance in the global emerging markets. The table reflects the theoretical reinvestment of dividends on securities in the Index. The impact of transaction costs and the deduction of expenses associated with a mutual fund, such as investment management and administration fees, are not reflected in the Index calculations. It is not possible to invest directly in an index.

Investment Philosophy and Process

The Fund seeks to outperform its benchmark through a combination of top-down (country level) and bottom-up (stock level) active positions. The fund managers believe in the importance of understanding the investment drivers and risks at the country level. They believe in only investing in companies that benefit from the top-down environment that they can foresee. The Fund buys quality growth stocks at attractive valuations leading to a focused portfolio of 40-60 emerging markets stocks.

Performance

The Fund’s Institutional share class returned 18.70% for the 12-month period to September 30, 2021 versus a return of 18.20% achieved by its benchmark, the MSCI Emerging Markets NR Index, for the same period.

The portfolio modestly outperformed over the year with our country allocation calls and stock selection both contributing positively. At the country level our underweight in China and overweight in India proved beneficial and stock selection in both countries was strong. We suffered from our underweight in Russia as rising oil prices benefited the market here. Not owning Alibaba proved beneficial given the regulatory clampdown in China. Our Indian financials were strong with State Bank of India and HDFC Bank among the top performers. Barrick Gold and Prosus were the main laggards.

With economies now largely recovering from the pandemic, policy focus is turning to ending quantitative easing and tightening policy, but this, in our opinion, is deliberately being done slowly. The sheer size of the stimulus will sit on government and central bank balance sheets for years to come, but the tapering is being done with an eye on allowing inflation to run at higher levels.

This tolerance of inflation should be a net positive for nominal GDP growth around the world, and also for commodity prices, which, in turn, should create a different, more positive, economic environment for more indebted and more commodity-intensive emerging economies.

Global growth remains strong, and emerging markets are still essentially cyclical assets. In 2005-8, price pressures from strong growth coincided with strong returns from emerging market equities. In addition, the US Federal Reserve’s policy tools have been expanded in recent years to reduce tail liquidity risks for emerging economies, for example, the swap lines and repo facilities available to some emerging market central banks.

Rising US yields and a stronger dollar are generally headwinds for some of our preferred markets, but we believe that country-level conditions remain the key driver, and these we see as positive enough to overcome these headwinds.

The Fund’s benchmark for performance comparison purposes is the Morgan Stanley Capital International (“MSCI”) Emerging Markets Small Cap Index. The Index includes small cap representation across 26 Emerging Markets countries and covers approximately 14% of the free float-adjusted market capitalization in each country. The table reflects the theoretical reinvestment of dividends on securities in the Index. The impact of transaction costs and the deduction of expenses associated with a mutual fund, such as investment management and administration fees, are not reflected in the Index calculations. It is not possible to invest directly in an index.

Investment Philosophy and Process

The investment objective of the JOHCM Emerging Markets Small Mid Cap Equity Fund (the “Fund”) is to seek long-term capital appreciation. The Fund invests, under normal market conditions, at least 80% of its assets (net assets plus the amount of borrowings for investment purposes) in equity securities issued by small and medium capitalization companies that are listed in, or whose principal business activities are located in, emerging markets, including frontier markets.

Performance

The Fund’s Institutional share class returned 37.60% for the 12-month period to September 30, 2021 versus a return of 43.24% achieved by its benchmark, the MSCI Emerging Markets Small Cap NR Index, for the same period.

The portfolio underperformed over the year with stock selection, chiefly within the materials sector, weighing on relative returns. There were positives, however, with strength among our healthcare, consumer discretionary and industrials holdings going some way to offset this weakness. Sector allocation effects were broadly neutral over the period.

Chinese sports shoe retailer Xtep was the top performer, benefiting from strong sales growth. This was partly due to the success of its new professional running shoes which are popular among professional marathon runners in China. Indian Energy exchange also did well on the back of increasing market share and the successful launch of new products.

Turning to the laggards, New Horizon Health, a Chinese developer of cancer screening technology, suffered on the back of fears over increasing regulations within the Chinese pharma sector.

We have been approaching our top-down framework from the point of view of rising inflation, and the need for central banks to take action. No doubt the can will be kicked further down the road but yields are rising again and another rotation towards cyclicals is beginning. From a country perspective, India has been a strong performer, benefiting from capital flows out of China. Today though, the market is somewhat extended, in our view, while the country currently faces the tough reality of a higher oil price. We are therefore becoming more selective whilst also looking at countries which are beneficiaries of the current oil and gas situation.

PORTFOLIO COMMENTARY

September 30, 2021 (Unaudited)

 

 

The Fund’s benchmark for performance comparison purposes is the Morgan Stanley Capital International (“MSCI”) All Country World Index (ACWI). The Index is a free float-adjusted market capitalization weighted index that is designed to measure the equity market performance of developed and emerging markets. The table reflects the theoretical reinvestment of dividends on securities in the Index. The impact of transaction costs and the deduction of expenses associated with a mutual fund, such as investment management and administration fees, are not reflected in the Index calculations. It is not possible to invest directly in an index.

Investment Philosophy and Process

To seek to achieve its investment objective of long-term capital appreciation, the Fund employs a growth at a reasonable price (GARP) investment philosophy, which is sometimes described as a core focus with a growth bias. The Fund seeks to own stocks, sectors and countries with positive earnings surprise, sustainably high or increasing return on equity, and attractive valuations. The Fund managers believe they can increase the probability of finding an attractive stock by looking where traditional growth investors tend to ignore. While the Fund’s managers seek to own stocks with idiosyncratic return patterns, they also recognize that many stocks have varying degrees of beta or correlation to their sector or country, so they also maintain a top-down research focus when constructing the portfolio. The Fund’s management team offers the unique capability of blending both a bottom-up and a top-down investment research approach to the portfolio construction process.

Performance

The Fund’s Institutional share class returned 30.71% for the 12-month period to September 30, 2021 versus a return of 27.44% achieved by its benchmark, the MSCI AC World NR Index, for the same period. The Fund performed well over the year with stock selection, particularly within technology, healthcare and industrials, driving relative returns. These positives offset modest weakness among our financials and materials holdings. Sector allocation effects weighed on relative returns as our zero-weighting in energy provided a drag given surging prices towards the end of the period.

Looking at individual stock performers, technology holdings Atlassian, ASML and Keysight Technologies added value. Chart Industries was the top performer. On the negative side of the ledger The a2 Milk Company and Peptidream lagged.

Many investors seem dogmatically stuck on the ‘Value’ versus ‘Growth’ debate when the truth is pragmatically somewhere in the middle, depending on the business cycle. This is why we combine Growth, Value and Momentum factors over the cycle. Value usually performs best during the first year of an economic recovery, when earnings growth rates are accelerating. Growth then usually performs better after that, as earnings growth rates start to decelerate - which appears to be what is now starting to happen. Year to date, Value and Growth performance has been roughly equal, while the Momentum factor has significantly underperformed as it was whipsawed by several rotations between Value and Growth.

We were buyers of September’s dip, moving to 75% bullish and 25% bearish. The highest probability outcome is still “one of the biggest ever equity bull markets, followed by one of the biggest ever equity bear markets” but some early warning signs are flashing so we will keep an open mind in a fast changing world. We are positioned for a Q4 rally, and expect continued volatility and market rotations in 2022.

If policy makers recognise and react to slowing growth, we will probably move to 80% bullish, 20% bearish, if not, we will probably get more bearish.

The Fund’s benchmarks for performance comparison purposes are the: Bloomberg US Aggregate Bond Index, I.C.E. BofAML BB-B Global High Yield Constrained Index, Morgan Stanley Capital International (“MSCI”) World Index and MSCI World High Dividend Yield Index. The Bloomberg US Aggregate Bond Index is a broad-based benchmark that measures the investment grade U.S. dollar-denominated, fixed-rate taxable bond market, including Treasuries, government-related and corporate securities, MBS (agency fixed-rate and hybrid ARM passthroughs), ABS, and CMBS. The I.C.E. BofAML BB-B Global High Yield Constrained Index contains all securities in The I.C.E. BofAML Global High Yield Index rated BB1 through B3, based on an average of Moody’s, S&P and Fitch, but caps issuer exposure at 2%. The MSCI World Index is a broad global equity index that represents large and mid-cap equity performance across 23 developed market countries. The MSCI World High Dividend Yield Index is based on the MSCI World Index, its parent index, and includes large and mid-cap stocks across 23 developed markets countries. The index is designed to reflect the performance of equities in the parent index (excluding REITs) with higher dividend income and quality characteristics than average dividend yields that are both sustainable and persistent. The table reflects the theoretical reinvestment of dividends on securities in the Indices. The impact of transaction costs and the deduction of expenses associated with a mutual fund, such as investment management and administration fees, are not reflected in the Indices calculations. It is not possible to invest directly in an index.

Investment Philosophy and Process

The Fund aims to generate meaningful monthly income distributions and long-term capital appreciation by applying a global value investment philosophy to income-generative assets. The Fund invests in global equities and fixed income but may also hold cash and hedging assets e.g. commodity-linked investment instruments such as exchange traded funds that invest in gold and precious metals. The investment team has a long-term, absolute return-oriented investment philosophy and believes their highest priority is to protect the capital they manage from permanent impairment.

Performance

The Fund’s Institutional share class returned 16.12% for the 12-month period to September 30, 2021. Our top contributors among our equity holdings included several technology shares, namely Oracle, which benefited from its strong earnings and outlook. Microsoft and Alphabet also performed well. A commercial real estate REIT, Columbia Property Trust, also contributed positively, thanks to the announcement of a go-private transaction following a strategic review. Italian asset manager Azimut advanced with strong AUM development.

Our top detractor among our equity holdings was European utility Enel, which was negatively impacted by Spanish government actions against certain power generation businesses. Tencent Holdings was in the crosshairs of Chinese regulation seeking to prevent excessive youth involvement with video games. Elsewhere Samsung Electronics lost some ground amid concerns of supply-chain impacts.

While risk assets have generally performed extremely well from the depths of the pandemic market crisis of 2020, and in this later phase of post-vaccine recovery, we continue to see upside potential and reasonably attractive valuation in many areas. Strong demand paired with supply-side shortages may benefit a wide range of businesses, as we continue to identify a generally reflationary market regime. At the same time, we are cautious about the potential for rising interest rates, which could undermine the positive impact of earnings growth. We continue to have relatively more exposure to the opportunity set in equity markets, given the low interest rate and tight credit spread environment. However, we continue to see pockets of opportunity in credit, by taking advantage of equity optionality within certain convertible bonds, for example.

dividends on securities in the Index. The impact of transaction costs and the deduction of expenses associated with a mutual fund, such as investment management and administration fees, are not reflected in the Index calculations. It is not possible to invest directly in an index.

Investment Philosophy and Process

The investment objective of the JOHCM International Opportunities Fund (the “Fund”) is to achieve long-term total return by investing in a focused portfolio of international equity securities. The Fund invests, under normal market conditions, primarily in equity securities of companies headquartered outside the US, including those in emerging markets. The Fund may invest in foreign companies of any size, including small- and mid-capitalisation companies, in order to achieve its objective. Equity securities include common and preferred stocks, rights and warrants. The Fund may also invest in equity related instruments, such as equity linked notes and participation notes, all of which derive their value from equities. The portfolio typically contains 25 to 40 stocks.

Performance

The Fund’s Institutional share class returned 15.39% for the 12-month period to September 30, 2021 versus a return of 25.73% achieved by its benchmark, the MSCI EAFE NR Index, for the same period. The portfolio underperformed over the year with our utilities the main source of weakness as Enel and Iberdrola lagging amidst surging gas and electricity prices. Enel also suffered on the back of negative regulatory developments in Spain.

Strong market leadership by market extremes tends to be a clear headwind for relative performance. Banks, energy and miners tend to be the most geared beneficiaries of an inflationary environment. On the other hand recent history provides plenty of examples of a narrowly tech/growth-led market which we have tended to underperform despite the solid growth profile of many of the companies in the portfolio. Clearly in absolute terms there is always risk from poor operational execution by any of our portfolio companies, although we mitigate this risk by focusing on diversified businesses with low operational and/or financial gearing. Finally, again in absolute terms, it is almost impossible to predict how we will perform in a disorderly market sell-off after a long period of complacency – although we would expect to perform well in relative terms, as we have done in previous periods.

The equity market has moved into “shoot first, ask questions later” mode. This reflects the combination of complacency and “no alternative” reluctance which had supported the unbroken rally from November to August. The major macro concern currently is stagflation, where inflation is driven by supply-side weakness, not demand-side strength. The difference is particularly important for cyclicals, which is why there are currently few hiding places. There are plenty of sector-specific issues emerging, which the market is having to digest - not least political and regulatory. The challenge is to work out which are genuine buying opportunities and which are value traps. As ever, diversification and balance sheet strength will be important differentiators.

The outlook for inflation and monetary policy is clearly going to be critical, as well as the ongoing post-Covid recovery. A calm ‘mid-cycle’ environment of gentle economic recovery likely allows for outperformance of quality names with idiosyncratic growth potential, as market leadership by either extreme growth or geared cyclicals becomes less dominant. There is plenty of potential for much greater volatility, especially if supply side tightness and disruption creates extreme commodity-led inflation and concerns about stagflation.

Investment Philosophy and Process

To seek to achieve its investment objective of long-term capital appreciation, the Fund employs a growth at a reasonable price (GARP) investment philosophy, which is sometimes described as a core focus with a growth bias. The Fund seeks to own stocks, sectors and countries with positive earnings surprise, sustainably high or increasing return on equity, and attractive valuations. The Fund managers believe they can increase the probability of finding an attractive stock by looking where traditional growth investors tend to ignore. While the Fund’s managers seek to own stocks with idiosyncratic return patterns, they also recognize that many stocks have varying degrees of beta or correlation to their sector or country, so they also maintain a top-down research focus when constructing the portfolio. The Fund’s management team offers the unique capability of blending both a bottom-up and a top-down investment research approach to the portfolio construction process.

Performance

The Fund’s Institutional share class returned 16.24% for the 12-month period to September 30, 2021 versus a return of 25.73% achieved by its benchmark, the MSCI EAFE NR Index, for the same period.

Underperformance over the year came largely from challenging stock selection with our financials and consumer discretionary holdings the main source of weakness, offsetting strength in our technology holdings. Sector allocation effects were also negative as our zero-weighting in energy weighed on relative returns after the rally towards the end of the period. Individual stocks of note include our technology names, Advantest and MediaTek while auto parts company Aptiv also added value. On the negative side The a2 Milk Company and Peptidream were the main laggards.

Many investors seem dogmatically stuck on the ‘Value’ versus ‘Growth’ debate when the truth is pragmatically somewhere in the middle, depending on the business cycle. This is why we combine Growth, Value and Momentum factors over the cycle. Value usually performs best during the first year of an economic recovery, when earnings growth rates are accelerating. Growth then usually performs better after that, as earnings growth rates start to decelerate - which appears to be what is now starting to happen. Year to date, Value and Growth performance has been roughly equal, while the Momentum factor has significantly underperformed as it was whipsawed by several rotations between Value and Growth.

We were buyers of September’s dip, moving to 75% bullish and 25% bearish. The highest probability outcome is still “one of the biggest ever equity bull markets, followed by one of the biggest ever equity bear markets” but some early warning signs are flashing so we will keep an open mind in a fast changing world. We are positioned for a Q4 rally, and expect continued volatility and market rotations in 2022.

If policy makers recognise and react to slowing growth, we will probably move to 80% bullish, 20% bearish, if not, we will probably get more bearish.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Under the Trust’s organizational documents, its officers and Trustees are indemnified against certain liabilities arising out of the performance of their duties to the Trust and Funds. In addition, in the normal course of business, the Trust enters into contracts with its vendors and others that provide for general indemnifications. The Funds’ maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown, as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Funds.

Prior to July 19, 2021, the JOHCM Credit Income Fund, the JOHCM Emerging Markets Opportunities Fund, the JOHCM Emerging Markets Small Mid Cap Equity Fund, the JOHCM Global Select Fund, the JOHCM Global Income Builder Fund, the JOHCM International Opportunities Fund, and the JOHCM International Select Fund operated as the JOHCM Credit Income Fund, the JOHCM Emerging Markets Opportunities Fund, the JOHCM Emerging Markets Small Mid Cap Equity Fund, the JOHCM Global Equity Fund, the JOHCM Global Income Builder Fund, the JOHCM International Opportunities Fund, and the JOHCM International Select Fund, each a series of Advisers Investment Trust (together the “Predecessor Funds”; each a “Predecessor Fund”). Each Predecessor Fund, except for the JOHCM Emerging Markets Small Mid Cap Equity Fund and the JOHCM International Select Fund, were authorized to issue three classes of shares: Class I Shares, Class II Shares, and Institutional Shares. The JOHCM Credit Income was authorized to issue three classes of shares: Class I Shares, Class II shares and Institutional shares. The JOHCM International Select Fund was authorized to issue two classes of shares: Class I Shares and Class II Shares. The JOHCM Emerging Markets Small Mid Cap Equity Fund was authorized to issue four classes of shares: Class I Shares, Class II Shares, Class III Shares, and Institutional Shares. Each class was distinguished by the class-specific shareholder servicing and distribution (Rule 12b-1) fees incurred, as applicable.

On July 19, 2021 the Predecessor Funds were reorganized into JOHCM Funds Trust, pursuant to a Plan of Reorganization approved by the Advisers Investment Trust’s Board of Trustees on December 10, 2020 and by the Predecessor Funds’ shareholders on June 2, 2021 and July 9, 2021 (the “Reorganizations”). At the time of the Reorganizations, each Predecessor Fund transferred all of its assets to its corresponding Fund in exchange for shares of the corresponding JOHCM Fund and the assumption of all of the liabilities of the Predecessor Fund by the corresponding JOHCM Fund. Upon closing of the Reorganizations, holders of a Predecessor Fund’s shares received shares of the corresponding JOHCM Fund’s shares. The Reorganizations were tax-free for U.S federal income tax purposes.

A. Significant accounting policies related to Investments are as follows:

INVESTMENT VALUATION

Investments are recorded at fair value. Fair value is defined as 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. The valuation techniques employed by the Funds, as described below, maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs in determining fair value. These inputs are summarized in the following three broad levels:

• Level 1 — quoted prices in active markets for identical assets

• Level 2 — other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices of similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.)

• Level 3 — significant unobservable inputs (including the Fund’s own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments)

The inputs or methodology used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities. For example, certain short-term debt securities may be valued using amortized cost. Generally, amortized cost approximates the current value of a security, but since this valuation is not obtained from a quoted price in an active market, such securities would be reflected as Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy.

Security prices are generally provided by an independent third party pricing service approved by the Trustees as of the close of the New York Stock Exchange, normally at 4:00 p.m. Eastern Time, each business day on which the share price of the Funds are calculated. Equity securities listed or traded on a primary exchange are valued at the closing price, if available, or the last sales price on the primary exchange.

JOHCM FUNDS TRUST

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

If no sale occurred on the valuation date, the securities will be valued at the latest quotations as of the close of the primary exchange. Investments in other open-end registered investment companies are valued at their respective net asset value as reported by such companies. In these types of situations, valuations are typically categorized as Level 1 in the fair value hierarchy.

Debt and other fixed income securities, if any, are generally valued at an evaluated price provided by an independent pricing source approved by the Trustees. To value debt securities, pricing services may use various pricing techniques, which take into account appropriate factors such as market activity, yield, quality, coupon rate, maturity, type of issue, trading characteristics, call features, credit ratings and other data, as well as broker quotes. Short-term debt securities of sufficient credit quality that mature within sixty days may be valued at amortized cost, which approximates fair value. In each of these situations, valuations are typically categorized as Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy.

When the price of a security is not readily available or deemed unreliable (e.g., an approved pricing service does not provide a price, a furnished price is in error, certain stale prices, or an event occurs that materially affects the furnished price), a Funds’ Fair Value Committee may in good faith establish a fair value for that security in accordance with procedures established by and under the general supervision of the Trustees. In addition, fair value pricing may be used if events materially affecting the value of foreign securities occur between the time when the exchange on which they are traded closes and the time when a Funds’ net asset value is calculated. The Funds identify possible fluctuations in international securities by monitoring the increase or decrease in the value of a designated benchmark index. In the event of an increase or decrease greater than predetermined levels, the Funds may use a systematic valuation model provided by an independent third party pricing service to fair value their international equity securities.

In the fair value situations noted above, while the Trust’s valuation policy is intended to result in a calculation of each Fund’s net asset value that fairly reflects security values as of the time of pricing, the Trust cannot ensure that fair values determined pursuant to these guidelines would accurately reflect the price that the Fund could obtain for a security if it were to dispose of that security as of the time of pricing (for instance, in a forced or distressed sale). The prices used by the Funds may differ from the value that would be realized if the securities were sold, and these differences could be material to the financial statements. Depending on the source and relative significance of the valuation inputs in these instances, the instruments may be classified as Level 2 or Level 3 in the fair value hierarchy.

EQUITY-LINKED SECURITIES

The Funds may invest in equity-linked securities, also known as participation notes. The Funds may use these instruments as an alternate means to gain exposure to what is generally an emerging securities market, such as countries in which it does not have local accounts. These instruments represent interests in securities listed on certain foreign exchanges, and thus present similar risks to investing directly

in such equity securities. These instruments are generally issued by the associates of foreign-based foreign brokerages and domestic institutional brokerages. Accordingly, the equity-linked securities also expose investors to counterparty risk, which is the risk that the entity issuing the note may not be able to honor its financial commitments.

At September 30, 2021, the Funds held equity-linked securities issued by counterparties as follows:

CURRENCY TRANSACTIONS

The functional and reporting currency for the Funds is the U.S. dollar. The market values of foreign securities, currency holdings and other assets and liabilities are translated into U.S. dollars based on the current exchange rates each business day. Purchases and sales of securities and income and expense items denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollars at the exchange rate in effect on the transaction date. The Funds do not separately report the effects of changes in foreign exchange rates from changes in market prices on securities held. Such changes are included in Net realized and unrealized gains (losses) from investment activities on the Statements of Operations. The Funds may invest in foreign currency-denominated securities and may engage in foreign currency transactions either on a spot (cash) basis at the rate prevailing in the currency exchange market at the time or through a forward foreign currency contract. Realized foreign exchange gains or losses arising from sales of spot foreign currencies, currency gains or losses realized between the trade and settlement dates on securities transactions and the difference between the recorded amounts of dividends, interest, and foreign withholding taxes and the U.S. dollar equivalent of the amounts actually received or paid are included in Net realized gains (losses) from foreign currency transactions on the Statements of Operations. Net unrealized foreign exchange gains (losses) arising from changes in foreign exchange rates on foreign denominated assets and liabilities other than investments in securities held at the end of the reporting period are included in Change in unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on foreign currency on the Statements of Operations.

The Funds may engage in spot currency transactions for the purpose of foreign security settlement and operational processes. Certain Funds are authorized to enter into forward foreign currency exchange contracts, for the purchase or sale of a specific foreign currency at a specified exchange rate on a future date as a hedge against either specific transactions or portfolio positions, or as a cross-hedge transaction or for speculative purposes. The objective of a Fund’s foreign currency hedging transactions is to reduce the risk that the U.S. dollar value of a Fund’s foreign currency denominated securities will decline in value due to change in foreign currency exchange rates. Changes in foreign currency exchange rates will affect the value of a Funds’ securities and the price of a Funds’ shares. Generally, when the value of the U.S. dollar rises in value relative to a foreign currency, an investment in that country loses value because that currency is worth fewer U.S. dollars. Devaluation of a currency by a country’s government or banking authority also may have a significant impact on the value of any investments denominated in that currency. Currency markets generally are not as regulated as securities markets.

All forward foreign currency exchange contracts are marked-to-market daily at the applicable exchange rates. Any unrealized gains or losses are recorded in Net change in unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on forward foreign currency exchange contracts in the Statements of Operations. Gains or losses are recorded for financial statement purposes as unrealized until settlement date. Realized gains or losses, if any, are included in Net realized gains (losses) on forward foreign exchange contracts in the Statements of Operations.

Risks may arise upon entering into these contracts from the potential inability of counterparties to meet the terms of their contracts and from unanticipated movements in the value of a foreign currency relative to the U.S. dollar. The contractual amounts of forward foreign currency exchange contracts do not necessarily represent the amounts potentially subject to risk. The Funds bear the market risk from changes in forward foreign currency exchange rates and the credit risk if the counterparty to the contract fails to perform. The institutions that deal in forward foreign currency exchange contracts are not required to continue to make markets in the currencies they trade and these markets can experience periods of illiquidity.

The following table, set forth by primary risk exposure, displays the Funds’ realized gains (losses) and change in unrealized appreciation (depreciation) by type of derivative contract for the year ended September 30, 2021:

INVESTMENT TRANSACTIONS AND INCOME

Investment transactions are accounted for no later than one business day after trade date. For financial reporting purposes, investments are reported as of the trade date. The Funds determines the gain or loss realized from investment transactions by using an identified cost basis method. Interest income is recognized on an accrual basis and includes, where applicable, the amortization of premium or accretion of discount. Dividend income is recognized on the ex-dividend date. Dividends from foreign securities are recorded on the ex-dividend date, or as soon as the information is available.

EXPENSE ALLOCATIONS

Expenses directly attributable to a fund in the Trust are charged to that fund, while expenses that are attributable to more than one fund in the Trust are allocated among the applicable funds on a pro-rata basis based on relative net assets or another reasonable basis. Certain expenses that arise in connection with a class of shares are charged to that class of shares.

The investment income, expenses (other than class-specific expenses charged to a class), and realized/unrealized gains/losses on investments are allocated to each class of shares based upon relative net assets on the date income is earned or expenses and realized/unrealized gains/losses are incurred.

DIVIDENDS AND DISTRIBUTIONS

Distributions of dividends from net investment income, if any, are declared and paid as follows:

The Funds intend to distribute their net realized long-term capital gains and their net realized short-term capital gains at least once a year.

Distributions from net investment income and from net realized capital gain are determined in accordance with Federal income tax regulations, which may differ from accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”).These “book/tax” differences are either considered temporary or permanent in nature. To the extent these differences are permanent in nature (e.g. treatment of certain dividend distributions, gains/losses, return of capital etc.), such amounts are reclassified within the composition of net assets based on their federal tax-basis treatment; temporary differences do not require reclassification. Distributions to shareholders that exceed net investment income and net realized capital gains for tax purposes are reported as return of capital.

FEDERAL INCOME TAX INFORMATION

No provision is made for Federal income taxes as each Fund intends to qualify each year as a “regulated investment company” under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), and distribute substantially all of its net investment income and net realized capital gain in accordance with the Code.

The Funds analyzed all open tax years, as defined by the Statute of Limitations, for all major jurisdictions that remain subject to examination. The Funds’ Federal tax returns for the tax years ended September 30, 2018 through September 30, 2021, as applicable, remain subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service. Interest or penalties incurred, if any, on future unknown or uncertain tax positions taken by the Funds will be recorded as interest expense on the Statements of Operations.

Management is not aware of any tax positions for which it is reasonably possible that the total amounts of unrecognized tax benefits will significantly change in the next twelve months.

USE OF 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 disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from these estimates.

CAPITAL GAIN TAXES

Investments in certain foreign securities may subject the Funds to capital gain taxes on the disposal of those securities. Any capital gains assessed will reduce the proceeds received on the sale and be reflected in net realized gain/loss on the transaction. The Funds estimate and accrue foreign capital gain taxes on certain investments held which impact the amount of unrealized appreciation/depreciation on such investments. The JOHCM Emerging Markets Small Mid Cap Fund paid $328,693 in capital gain taxes during the year. This amounts is included in the net realized gains (losses) from investment transactions on the Statement of Operations.

OTHER RISKS

Securities markets outside the United States (“U.S.”), while growing in volume, have for the most part substantially less volume than U.S. markets, and many securities traded on these foreign markets are less liquid and their prices are more volatile than securities of comparable U.S. companies. In addition, settlement of trades in some non-U.S. markets is much slower and more subject to failure than in U.S. markets. Other risks associated with investing in foreign securities include, among other things, imposition of exchange control regulation by the U.S. or foreign governments, U.S. and foreign withholding taxes, limitations on the removal of funds or other assets, policies of governments with respect to possible nationalization of their industries, and economic or political instability in foreign nations. There may be less publicly available information about certain foreign companies than would be the case for comparable companies in the U.S., and certain foreign companies may not be subject to accounting, auditing and financial reporting standards and requirements comparable to or as uniform as those of U.S. companies.

Certain Funds may invest in emerging market securities. Investing in emerging market securities involves risks which are in addition to the usual risks inherent in foreign investments. These countries generally are located in the Asia and Pacific regions, the Middle East, Eastern Europe, Central America, South America and Africa. Some countries with emerging securities markets have experienced substantial, and in some periods extremely high, rates of inflation for many years. Inflation and rapid fluctuations in inflation rates have had and may continue to have negative effects on the economies and securities markets of certain countries. Moreover, the economies of some countries may differ favorably or unfavorably from the U.S. economy in such respects as rate of growth of gross domestic product, rate of inflation, capital reinvestment, resource self-sufficiency, number and depth of industries forming the economy’s base, condition and stability of financial institutions, governmental controls and investment restrictions that are subject to political change and balance of payments position. Further, a Fund may face greater difficulties or restrictions with respect to investments made in emerging markets countries than in the U.S. Satisfactory custodial services may not be available in some emerging markets countries, which may result in a Fund incurring additional costs and delays in the trading and custody of such securities.

Natural or environmental disasters, such as earthquakes, fires, floods, hurricanes, tsunamis and other severe weather-related phenomena generally, and widespread disease, including pandemics and epidemics, have been and may be highly disruptive to economies and markets, adversely impacting individual companies, sectors, industries, markets, currencies, interest and inflation rates, credit ratings, investor sentiment, and other factors affecting the value of a Fund’s investments. Given the increasing interdependence among global economies and markets, conditions in one country, market, or region are increasingly likely to adversely affect markets, issuers, and/or foreign exchange rates in other countries, for example, an epidemic or pandemic can result in travel restrictions, closed international borders, enhanced health screenings at ports of entry and elsewhere, disruption of and delays in healthcare service preparation and delivery, prolonged quarantines, cancellations, supply chain disruptions, and lower consumer demand, as well as general concern and uncertainty. All of these disruptive effects were present, for example, in the global pandemic linked to the outbreak of respiratory disease caused by a novel coronavirus designated as COVID-19 that was first reported in China in December 2019. The effects of any disease outbreak may be greater in countries with less developed disease prevention and control programs and may also exacerbate other pre-existing political, social, economic, market and financial risks. A pandemic and its effects may be short term or may last for an extended period of time, and in either case can result in significant market volatility, exchange trading suspensions and closures, declines in global financial markets, higher default rates, and a substantial economic downturn or recession. Infectious illness outbreaks can adversely affect the economies of many nations or the entire global economy, individual issuers and capital markets in ways that cannot necessarily be foreseen. Any such events could have a significant adverse impact on the value of a Fund’s investments.

Instruments in which the Funds invest may pay interest at floating rates based on the London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) or may be subject to interest caps or floors based on LIBOR. The use of LIBOR will be phased out by the end of 2021. Abandonment of or modifications to LIBOR could have adverse impacts on newly issued financial instruments and existing financial instruments which reference LIBOR and lead to significant short-term and long-term uncertainty and market instability.

Concentration of Ownership

A significant portion of a Fund’s shares may be held in a limited number of shareholder accounts, including in certain omnibus or institutional accounts which typically hold shares for the benefit of other underlying investors. To the extent that a shareholder or group of shareholders redeem a significant portion of the shares issued by a Fund, this could have a disruptive impact on the efficient implementation of a Fund’s investment strategy.

Basis for Opinions

These financial statements are the responsibility of the Funds’ management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Funds’ financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB) and are required to be independent with respect to the Funds in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

We conducted our audits of these financial statements in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud.

Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of September 30, 2021 by correspondence with the custodian and brokers; when replies were not received from brokers, we performed other auditing procedures. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinions.

A.

Board Approval of Investment Advisory Agreement

Section 15(c) of the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the “1940 Act”) requires that the investment advisory agreement between JOHCM Funds Trust (the “Trust”) and JOHCM (USA) Inc. (the “Investment Advisor”) with respect to the JOHCM Credit Income Fund, the JOHCM Emerging Markets Opportunities Fund, the JOHCM Emerging Markets Small Mid Cap Equity Fund, the JOHCM Global Income Builder Fund, the JOHCM Global Select Fund, the JOHCM International Opportunities Fund, and the JOHCM International Select Fund (collectively, the “Funds”) be approved by the vote of a majority of the Board of Trustees of the Trust (the “Board”), including a majority of the Trustees who are not “interested persons,” as that term is defined in the 1940 Act (“Independent Trustees”), cast in person at a meeting called for the purpose of voting on such approval. It is the duty of the Board to request and evaluate, and the duty of the Investment Advisor to furnish, such information as may reasonably be necessary to evaluate the terms of the Investment Advisory Agreement. At a meeting held via videoconference on December 4, 2020 in reliance on an order of the United States Securities and Exchange Commission providing temporary relief from the 1940 Act’s in-person voting requirements relating to investment company board approvals of advisory agreements, the Board formally considered and approved the investment advisory agreement between the Trust, on behalf of the Funds, and the Investment Advisor, dated January 8, 2021, for an initial two-year term (the “Investment Advisory Agreement”).

The Investment Advisory Agreement while dated January 8, 2021 was effective July 19, 2021 following the acquisition by the Funds of all of the assets of corresponding existing series (the “Predecessor Funds”) of Advisers Investment Trust (collectively, the “Reorganizations”). As part of the Reorganizations, the Investment Advisor became the investment adviser to each of the Funds.

Prior to the December 4, 2020 meeting, the Board requested, and the Investment Advisor provided, both written and oral reports containing information and data relating to the following: (i) the nature, extent, and quality of the services expected to be provided by the Investment Advisor to the Funds; (ii) the investment performance of the Funds as measured by the Predecessor Funds; (iii) the costs of the services expected to be provided and the profits to be realized by the Investment Advisor from its relationship with the Funds; (iv) the extent to which economies of scale will be realized as the Funds grow; and (v) whether the proposed fee levels reflect these economies of scale to the benefit of the Funds’ potential shareholders. The Board also received and reviewed a memorandum from counsel to the Independent Trustees regarding the Board’s responsibilities in evaluating the Investment Advisory Agreement.

The Board examined the nature, extent, and quality of services to be provided to each Fund by the Investment Advisor. The Board noted that the Investment Advisor was a wholly-owned subsidiary of, and part of the same globally integrated investment organization as J O Hambro Capital Management Limited (“JOH Ltd”) and that the Investment Advisor served as investment sub-advisor to three of the Predecessor Funds. The Board considered the terms of the Investment Advisory Agreement, information and reports provided by the Investment Advisor on its personnel and operations, and the Investment Advisor’s experience with the investment strategy and risks of each Fund. The Board reviewed the Investment Advisor’s investment philosophy and portfolio construction process and the Investment Advisor’s compliance program, pending litigation, insurance coverage, business continuity program, and information security practices. The Board noted that, as set forth in the reports provided by the Investment Advisor, there had been no material compliance issues in the last twelve months with respect to the Predecessor Funds. The Board then considered key risks associated with the Funds and ways in which those risks were expected to be mitigated. Taking into account the personnel expected to be involved in servicing the Funds as well as the fact that the anticipated Reorganizations will not result in any changes in the portfolio management or support teams currently providing services to the Predecessor Funds, the Board expressed satisfaction with the quality, extent, and nature of the services expected from the Investment Advisor.

The Board reviewed the investment performance for each Fund’s Predecessor Fund compared to the performance of each Fund’s benchmark index and respective Morningstar category as well as similar comparable accounts advised by JOHCM or JOH Ltd. The Board determined that, while this information was helpful in its determinations, the Board would review performance over time following the Reorganizations. Taking into account the experience and qualifications of the personnel proposed to be involved in managing each Fund as well as the other information provided by the Investment Advisor, the Board expressed satisfaction with the quality, extent, and nature of the services expected from the Investment Advisor.

The Board considered the cost of services proposed to be provided and the profits projected to be realized by the Investment Advisor. The Board reviewed the management fee proposed to be paid by each Fund and the total operating expenses of each Fund versus its respective Morningstar category as well as the management fee of similar comparable accounts advised by JOHCM or JOH Ltd. The Board noted that the Investment Advisor would receive a management fee calculated on the average daily net assets of each Fund and that, under a proposed Expense Limitation Agreement, the Investment Advisor would contractually agree to waive fees and/or reimburse expenses to the extent necessary to limit each Fund’s total operating expenses through June 30, 2022. The Board considered the projected profitability of the Investment Advisor’s future relationship with each Fund. The Board concluded that the proposed advisory fees and anticipated expense ratio of each Fund were reasonable.

In considering the economies of scale for the Funds, the Board considered the marketing and distribution plans for the Funds, each Fund’s capacity, and its breakeven point. The Board noted that, other than the investment advisory fees, JOHCM’s relationship with the Funds raises its profile within the United States and provides additional business opportunities.

In its deliberations, the Board did not identify any particular factor or factors that were all-important or controlling, and each Trustee may have assigned different weights to the various factors considered.

B. Board Approval of Investment Advisory Agreement for the Regnan Global Equity Impact Solutions

Section 15(c) of the 1940 Act requires that the investment advisory agreement between the Trust and the Investment Advisor with respect to Regnan Global Equity Impact Solutions (the “Fund”) be approved by the vote of a majority of the Board, including a majority of Independent Trustees, cast in person at a meeting called for the purpose of voting on such approval. It is the duty of the Board to request and evaluate, and the duty of the Investment Advisor to furnish, such information as may reasonably be necessary to evaluate the terms of the Investment Advisory Agreement. At a meeting held on June 15, 2021, the Board formally considered and approved an amendment dated June 21, 2021 to the investment advisory agreement dated January 8, 2021 between the Trust, on behalf of the Fund, and the Investment Advisory Agreement.

Prior to the June 15, 2021 meeting, the Board requested, and the Investment Advisor provided, both written and oral reports containing information and data relating to the following: (i) the nature and quality of services, especially investment performance, to be furnished by the Investment Advisor, the Investment Advisor’s cost in providing the services and possible economies of scale as the Fund grows larger, and whether and how those benefits of scale may be shared with the Fund; (ii) the shareholders’ interests in having a financially strong investment manager capable of competing with other investment managers and financial institutions in terms of attracting and retaining high quality investment personnel and investigating and employing new investment techniques, and the need to provide staff capable of administering a developing and expanding investment advisory and administrative business; (iii) the risks assumed by the Investment Advisor in complying with investment restrictions and applicable securities and tax laws, and its possible substantial liabilities to the Fund for failure to comply; (iv) the volatility of the financial markets and thus of investment management fee income; (v) comparative expense ratios and management fees of competitive funds; (vi) fall-out financial benefits to the Investment Advisor and its affiliates, if any; and (vii) the profitability of the Investment Advisor and its affiliates from providing services to the Fund. The Board also reviewed with counsel to the Independent Trustees its responsibilities in evaluating the Investment Advisory Agreement.

The Board examined the nature and quality of services to be provided to the Fund by the Investment Advisor. The Board considered the terms of the Investment Advisory Agreement, information and reports provided by the Investment Advisor on its personnel and operations, and the Investment Advisor’s experience managing assets using an investment strategy similar to the Fund’s. The Board reviewed the Investment Advisor’s investment philosophy and portfolio construction process and the Investment Advisor’s compliance program, pending litigation (if any), insurance coverage, business continuity program, and information security practices. Taking into account the personnel anticipated to be involved in servicing the Fund as well as the anticipated services to be provided by the Investment Advisor, the Board expressed satisfaction with the quality, extent, and nature of the services expected from the Investment Advisor.

The Board noted that, because the Fund was not yet in operation, it had no performance history. The Board noted, however, that the personnel that would be involved in managing the Fund manage a United Kingdom domiciled fund, an Ireland domiciled fund and an Australia domiciled open-end fund in a strategy that utilizes a substantially similar investment strategy (the “Comparable Accounts”) to that proposed for the Fund.

The Board then considered the proposed advisory fee to be paid by the Fund and the projected total operating expenses of the Fund.

The Board noted that the Investment Advisor would receive an advisory fee of 0.75% of the average daily net assets of the Fund and that, under a proposed Expense Limitation Agreement, the Investment Advisor would contractually agree to waive fees and/or reimburse expenses to the extent necessary to limit the total annual operating expenses (exclusive of brokerage costs, interest, taxes, dividends, litigation and indemnification expenses, expenses associated with the investments in underlying investment companies and extraordinary expenses (as determined under generally accepted principles)) of Institutional Shares, Advisor Shares, Investor Shares, and Class Z Shares of the Fund to 0.89%, 0.99%, 1.14%, and 0.89% respectively through July 31, 2022. The Board also reviewed comparative data on investment management fees received by JOHCM as the adviser to the Comparable Accounts as well as investment management fees and net total operating expenses of self-identified peer funds and the Fund’s anticipated Morningstar category. After considering the comparative data provided by the Investment Advisor, the Board concluded that the Fund’s proposed investment management fee and expense ratios after waiver or reimbursement were reasonable.

In considering the anticipated economies of scale for the Fund, the Board considered the proposed marketing and distribution plans for the Fund, its capacity, and its anticipated breakeven point.

In its deliberations, the Board did not identify any particular factor or factors that were all-important or controlling, and each Trustee may have assigned different weights to the various factors considered.

C. Shareholder Meeting Results

Prior to July 19, 2021, each of the JOHCM Credit Income Fund, the JOHCM Emerging Markets Opportunities Fund, the JOHCM Emerging Markets Small Mid Cap Equity Fund, the JOHCM Global Select Fund, the JOHCM Global Income Builder Fund, the JOHCM International Opportunities Fund, and the JOHCM International Select Fund operated as a series of Advisers Investment Trust (together the “Predecessor Funds”; each a “Predecessor Fund”). Each Predecessor Fund had a name identical to its corresponding Fund, other than Predecessor Fund to JOHCM Global Select Fund, which was named JOHCM Global Equity Fund. On July 19, 2021, the Predecessor Funds were reorganized into JOHCM Funds Trust, pursuant to a Plan of Reorganization approved by the Advisers Investment Trust’s Board of Trustees on December 9, 2020 and by the Predecessor Funds’ shareholders on June 2, 2021 and July 9, 2021 (the “Reorganizations”). The results of the Predecessor Funds’ shareholder meeting in connection with the Reorganizations are provided below:

D. Expense Examples

As a Fund shareholder, you may incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, 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. Please note that the expenses shown in the tables are meant

to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transactional costs. Therefore, the examples are useful in comparing ongoing costs only and will not help you determine the relative total cost of owning different funds. In addition, if these transactional costs were included, your costs would have been higher.

The examples below are based on an investment of $1,000 invested at April 1, 2021 and held for the entire period through September 30, 2021.

The Actual Expense Example below provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use this information, 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 table under the heading entitled “Expenses Paid” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.

The Hypothetical Expense Example below provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on a Funds’ actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not a Funds’ 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 and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds.

JOHCM FUNDS TRUST

17 - PRINCIPAL EXECUTIVE AND PRINCIPAL FINANCIAL OFFICERS

CODE OF ETHICS

 

I.

Covered Officers/Purpose of the Code

This code of ethics (this “Code”) pursuant to Section 406 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 has been adopted by the Trust and applies to the Trust’s Principal Executive Officer, Principal Financial Officer, or other Trust officer performing similar functions (the “Covered Officers” each of whom is set forth in Exhibit A) for the purpose of promoting:

 

   

honest and ethical conduct, including the ethical handling of actual or apparent conflicts of interest between personal and professional relationships;

 

   

full, fair, accurate, timely and understandable disclosure in reports and documents that the Trust files with, or submits to, the SEC and in other public communications made by the Trust;

 

   

compliance with applicable laws and governmental rules and regulations;

 

   

the prompt internal reporting of violations of this Code to an appropriate person or persons identified in this Code; and

 

   

accountability for adherence to this Code.

Each Covered Officer should adhere to a high standard of business ethics and should be sensitive to situations that may give rise to actual as well as apparent conflicts of interest.

The overarching principle is that the personal interest of a Covered Officer should not be placed improperly before the interest of the Trust.

 

II.

Covered Officers Should Handle Ethically Actual and Apparent Conflicts of Interest

Overview. A “conflict of interest” occurs when a Covered Officer’s private interest interferes with the interests of, or the Covered Officer’s service to, the Trust. For example, a conflict of interest would arise if a Covered Officer, or a member of the Covered Officer’s family, receives improper personal benefits as a result of the Covered Officer’s position with the Trust.

Certain conflicts of interest arise out of the relationships between Covered Officers and the Trust and already are subject to conflict of interest provisions in the 1940 Act and the Investment Advisers Act of 1940 (“Investment Advisers Act”). For example, Covered Officers may not individually engage in certain transactions (such as the purchase or sale of securities or other property) with the Trust because of their status as “affiliated persons” of the Trust. The compliance programs and procedures of the Trust and the compliance programs and procedures of the Trust’s investment adviser and of such other entity of which a Covered Officer is also an officer or employee (each a “Service Provider” and, collectively, the “Service Providers”) are designed to prevent, or identify and correct, violations of these provisions. This Code does not, and is not intended to, repeat or replace any compliance programs and procedures of the Trust or the

 

17-1


investment adviser designed to prevent, or identify and correct, violations of the 1940 Act and the Investment Advisers Act, and such conflicts fall outside of the parameters of this Code.

Although typically not presenting an opportunity for improper personal benefit, conflicts arise from, or as a result of, the contractual relationship between the Trust and its Service Providers of which a Covered Officer is also an officer or employee. As a result, this Code recognizes that the Covered Officers will, in the normal course of their duties, whether formally for the Trust and/or for a Service Provider, be involved in establishing policies and implementing decisions that will have different effects on the Service Providers and the Trust. The participation of the Covered Officers in such activities is inherent in the contractual relationship between the Trust and its Service Providers and is consistent with the performance by the Covered Officers of their duties as officers of the Trust. Thus, if performed in conformity with the provisions of the 1940 Act and the Investment Advisers Act, such activities will be deemed to have been handled ethically. In addition, it is recognized by the Board that the Covered Officers may also be officers or employees of one or more investment companies covered by other codes.

Other conflicts of interest are covered by this Code, even if such conflicts of interest are not subject to provisions in the 1940 Act and the Investment Advisers Act. The following list provides examples of conflicts of interest under this Code, but Covered Officers should keep in mind that these examples are not exhaustive.

Each Covered Officer must:

 

   

not use personal influence or personal relationships to influence investment decisions or financial reporting by the Trust whereby the Covered Officer would benefit personally to the detriment of the Trust;

 

   

not cause the Trust to take action, or fail to take action, for the individual personal benefit of the Covered Officer rather than the benefit of the Trust;

 

   

not use material non-public information of portfolio transactions made or contemplated for the Trust to trade personally or cause others to trade personally in contemplation of the market effect of such transactions;

 

   

report at least annually any affiliations or other relationships related to conflicts of interest that the Trust’s Trustees and Officers Questionnaire covers and provide full and fair responses to all questions asked in such Trustees and Officers Questionnaire and any supplemental request for information.

There are some conflict of interest situations that should always be discussed with the chief compliance officer of the Trust (the “Compliance Officer”). Examples of these include:

 

   

any outside business activity other than with a Service Provider or its affiliates that detracts from an individual’s ability to devote appropriate time and attention to his or her responsibilities with the Trust;

 

   

service as a director on the board of any company that files periodic reports with the SEC;

 

17-2


   

service on the board of directors or governing board of any organization, public or private, including non-profits;

 

   

the receipt of any non-nominal gifts;

 

   

the receipt of any entertainment from any company with which the Trust has current or prospective business dealings unless such entertainment is business-related, reasonable in cost, appropriate as to time and place, and not so frequent as to raise any question of impropriety;

 

   

any ownership interest in, or any consulting or employment relationship with, any of entities doing business with the Trust, other than a Service Provider or any affiliated person thereof; and

 

   

a direct or indirect financial interest in commissions, transaction charges or spreads paid by the Trust for effecting portfolio transactions or for selling or redeeming shares other than an interest arising from the Covered Officer’s employment with the a Service Provider or its affiliates, such as compensation or equity ownership.

 

III.

Disclosure and Compliance

 

   

Each Covered Officer should familiarize himself or herself with the disclosure requirements generally applicable to the Trust.

 

   

Each Covered Officer should not knowingly misrepresent, or cause others to misrepresent, facts about the Trust to others, whether within or outside the Trust, including to the Trust’s directors and auditors, and to governmental regulators and self-regulatory organizations.

 

   

Each Covered Officer should, to the extent appropriate within the Covered Officer’s area of responsibility, consult with other officers and employees of the Trust or the Service Providers or with counsel to the Trust with the goal of promoting full, fair, accurate, timely and understandable disclosure in the reports and documents the Trust files with, or submits to, the SEC and in other public communications made by the Trust.

 

   

It is the responsibility of each Covered Officer to promote compliance with the standards and restrictions imposed by applicable laws, rules and regulations.

 

IV.

Reporting and Accountability

Each Covered Officer must:

 

   

upon adoption of this Code (or thereafter as applicable, upon becoming a Covered Officer), affirm in writing to the Trust, in substantially the form set forth on Exhibit B, that the Covered Officer has received, read, and understands this Code;

 

   

annually thereafter affirm to the Trust, in substantially the form set forth on Exhibit C, that the Covered Officer has complied with the requirements of this Code;

 

17-3


   

not retaliate against any other Covered Officer or any employee of the Trust, the Service Providers or their affiliated persons for reports of potential violations that are made in good faith; and

 

   

notify the Compliance Officer promptly if the Covered Officer knows of any violation of this Code. Failure to do so is itself a violation of this Code.

The Compliance Officer is responsible for applying this Code to specific situations in which questions are presented under it and has the authority to interpret this Code in any particular situation. However, any approvals or waivers sought by a Covered Officer will be considered by the Audit Committee (the “Committee”), which will make recommendations to the Board.

The Trust will follow these procedures in investigating and enforcing this Code:

 

   

the Compliance Officer for the Trust will take all appropriate action to investigate any potential violations reported to the Compliance Officer;

 

   

the Compliance Officer will review with the outside legal counsel to the Trust the findings and conclusions of such investigation;

 

   

if, after such investigation and review, the Compliance Officer believes that no violation has occurred, the Compliance Officer is not required to take any further action;

 

   

any matter that the Compliance Officer believes is a violation will be reported to the Committee;

 

   

if the Committee concurs that a violation has occurred, it will inform and make a recommendation to the Board, which will consider appropriate action, which may include review of, and appropriate modifications to, applicable policies and procedures (including changes to this Code); notification of the violation to appropriate personnel of a Service Provider or its board; or a recommendation to take disciplinary action against the Covered Officer, which may include, without limitation, dismissal;

 

   

the Board will be responsible for granting waivers, as appropriate; and

 

   

any changes to or waivers of this Code will, to the extent required, be disclosed as provided by SEC rules.

 

V.

Other Policies and Procedures

This Code shall be the sole code of ethics adopted by the Trust for purposes of Section 406 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act and the rules and forms applicable to registered investment companies thereunder. Insofar as other policies or procedures of the Trust or the Service Providers govern or purport to govern the behavior or activities of the Covered Officers who are subject to this Code, they are superseded by this Code to the extent that they overlap or conflict with the provisions of this Code. The Trust’s and each Service Provider’s codes of ethics under Rule 17j- 1 under the 1940 Act are separate requirements applying to the Covered Officers and others, and are not part

 

17-4


of this Code. This Code does not, and is not intended to, repeat or replace these programs and procedures.

 

VI.

Amendments

Any amendments to this Code, other than amendments to Exhibit A, must be approved or ratified by a majority vote of the Board, including a majority of Independent Trustees.

 

VII.

Confidentiality

To the extent possible, all records, reports and other information prepared, maintained or acquired pursuant to this Code will be treated as confidential and shall be maintained and protected accordingly. Except as otherwise required by law or this Code, such matters shall not be disclosed to anyone other than the Board, the Trust, or counsel to the Trust and the Adviser, as authorized by the Board.

 

VIII.

Internal Use

This Code is intended solely for the internal use by the Trust and does not constitute an admission, by or on behalf of the Trust, as to any fact, circumstance, or legal conclusion and does not create any rights of third parties.
