O’Shaughnessy Mutual Funds
All Cap Core Fund
For the six-month fiscal period ended January 31, 2019, Class A shares of the O’Shaughnessy All Cap Core Fund (the “All Cap Core
Fund”) returned -13.91% (with the effect of sales charges) and -9.12% (without the effect of sales charges). Class C shares of the All Cap Core Fund returned -10.16% (with the effect of sales charges) and -9.45% (without the effect of sales
charges). Class I shares returned -9.01%, underperforming the Russell 3000® Index which returned -3.52% and the S&P 500® Index (“S&P 500”) which returned -3.00% for the same period.
An underexposure to larger and mega cap names was the largest detractor from returns. During this period mega cap names
outperformed. Therefore, the All Cap Core Fund, which typically does not weight larger and mega cap names as heavily as the benchmark, was in turn negatively impacted. After size, an overweight to the Momentum theme was the next largest detractor
followed by overweights to Financial Strength and Earnings Growth. Conversely, overweights to Yield and Value contributed to returns.
Several positions detracted from performance such as, Valero Energy Corp., Conagra Brands, Inc., and Micron Technology, Inc.
Performance was helped by positions in stocks such as: K12, Inc., Apple, Inc., and Medifast, Inc. The All Cap Core Fund’s relative returns detracted due to allocation and selection effects. Of note, selection within Financials and Information
Technology significantly reduced returns and allocation within Energy and underweights to Real Estate and Utilities hurt relative returns. Allocation and selection effects within Communication Services helped to mitigate some of the overall Fund
detractors.
Based on our historical research, the themes we emphasize in the All Cap Core Fund should outperform over longer holding periods
but certainly can be less successful over shorter time frames. We believe the key to success within this type of strategy is patience, and we expect stocks with attractive yields, valuations, and momentum to outperform in the years to come.
Enhanced Dividend Fund
For the six-month fiscal period ended January 31, 2019, Class I shares of the O’Shaughnessy Enhanced Dividend Fund (the
“Enhanced Dividend Fund”) returned -8.48%, underperforming the MSCI All Country World Index which returned -4.71% and underperforming the Russell 1000 Value® Index
which returned -3.26% for the same period.
An overweight to the Value theme was the largest contributor to returns. Additionally, an underexposure to the Earnings Quality
theme aided performance. However, these contributors were masked by the detractors. Size was the largest detractor from return as the Fund typically is skewed toward a lower total market cap than the benchmark, and during this period, larger, mega
cap securities aided returns. An overweight to the Momentum theme was the second largest detractor. Additionally, an underweight to Financial Strength and an overweight to Earnings Growth detracted for the six-month fiscal period ending January 31,
2019. After controlling for factors, country allocations were a contributor to returns, primarily led by overexposure to the United States and Russia. An underexposure to Brazil was the primary detractor.
Overall, both security selection and allocation detracted from returns. With respect to selection, Financials and Consumer
Discretionary were the largest detractors and Energy and Communication Services were the largest contributors. In terms of allocation, an overweight to Energy and an underweight to Health Care detracted while on overweight to Communication Services
and an underweight to Information Technology contributed to returns. Not owning positions within Real Estate and Utilities detracted from relative returns.
The Enhanced Dividend Fund benefited from allocations to PJSC LUKOIL ADR, Omnicom Group, Inc., and Rio Tinto ADR, all of which
did well during the six-month period ending January 31, 2019. Overweight allocations to Société General ADR and BNP Paribas ADR negatively impacted relative returns.
Based on our research dating back to 1970, large cap, global, market-leading stocks trading at discounted valuations with high
dividend yields have been very strong performers relative to the overall market in the long run. We believe the key to success with this type of strategy is patience, and we expect stocks with attractive yields to outperform in the years to come.

O’Shaughnessy Mutual Funds
For the six-month fiscal period ended January 31, 2019, Class I shares of the O’Shaughnessy Market Leaders Value Fund (the
“Market Leaders Value Fund”) returned -8.68% underperforming the Russell 1000 Value® Index which returned -3.26% for the same period. However, during January of 2019
the Fund saw a strong bounce-back.
An underexposure to large, mega cap stocks was the primary detractor from returns. During the period, mega cap stocks were the
strongest performers and the Market Leaders Value Fund tends to hold less mega cap than the benchmark. Other detractors included the Financial Strength and Momentum themes. Shareholder Yield, which is the key stock selection theme, was the only
factor that contributed to relative returns.
Overall, allocation and selection effects detracted from relative returns during the fiscal period. Security selection within
Consumer Staples and Information Technology were the largest detractors from returns. Consumer Discretionary and Industrials were the two sectors that yielded the largest selection contributions. Overweights to Consumer Staples, Information
Technology, and Industrials aided returns and specifically helped to mitigate some of the selection impact within Consumer Staples and Information Technology. On the contrary, underweights to Health Care and Communication Services accounted for
over half of the negative relative allocation effect and not owning positions in Real Estate and Utilities rounded out the total relative negative net position. Positions that contributed positively to total performance, included Yum! Brands, Inc.,
MetLife, Inc., and Schlumberger Ltd., while Conagra Brands, Inc., Marathon Petroleum Corp., and Anadarko Petroleum Corp. detracted from relative returns.
Based on our historical research, the themes that we emphasize in the Market Leaders Value Fund should outperform over longer
holding periods but experience shorter periods of time when they are less successful. We believe the key to success with this type of strategy is patience, and we expect stocks with attractive yields, valuations, and quality to outperform in the
years to come.
Small Cap Value Fund
For the six-month fiscal period ended January 31, 2019, Class I shares of the O’Shaughnessy Small Cap Value Fund (the “Small Cap
Value Fund”) returned -11.41%, underperforming the Russell 2000 Value® Index which returned -9.92% for the same period.
An underweight exposure to Size (market capitalization) was the primary detractor from returns. The Small Cap Value Fund tends
to exhibit a smaller total market capitalization than the benchmark and during this period, stocks that were larger in size outperformed. An overexposure to the Value and Growth themes contributed to performance. Whereas overexposures to Momentum,
Quality, and an underexposure to the Financial Strength theme detracted from returns.
Overall, selection effects contributed to returns while sector allocation effects detracted. Allocation effects outweighed
selection effects, leading to net negative relative return for the period. Security selection within Energy, Health Care, and Communication Services contributed positively to relative returns while security selection within Industrials, Information
Technology, and Real Estate detracted from returns. An underweight allocation to Real Estate and a zero weight to Utilities, as well as an overweight allocation to Energy, impacted returns negatively. However, an overweight to Information
Technology was a meaningful positive contributor via allocation and helped minimize poor selection within this sector. Key positions that detracted from performance included Boise Cascade Co., Vera Bradley, Inc., and TTM Technologies, Inc. The
following positions contributed: Gannett Co., Innoviva, Inc., and Sanderson Farms, Inc.
Based on our historical research, the themes that we emphasize in the Small Cap Value Fund should outperform over longer holding
periods but, will have shorter periods of time when they are less favorable. We believe the key to success within this type of strategy is patience, and we expect stocks with attractive quality, valuations, and momentum to outperform in the years
to come.
Small/Mid Cap Growth Fund
For the six-month fiscal period ended January 31, 2019, Class I shares of the O’Shaughnessy Small/Mid Cap Growth Fund (the
“Small/Mid Cap Growth Fund”) returned -11.93%, underperforming the Russell 2500 Growth™ Index which returned -5.91% for the same period.

O’Shaughnessy Mutual Funds
An underexposure to larger capitalization names was the largest detractor for the period. During this period, securities with a
larger market capitalization outperformed. The Small/Mid Cap Growth Fund exhibited a smaller market cap than its benchmark. Additionally, the Earnings Quality and Shareholder Yield themes detracted. An overexposure to Momentum was the largest
contributor followed by an overweight to the Value theme. Overall, selection and allocation effects detracted from returns with poor selection carrying most of the weight. From an allocation standpoint, overweight to Energy and an underweight to
Information Technology were the largest detractors from relative returns. Selection was especially poor within Information Technology and Health Care. Of note, Energy was the only meaningful net contributor to relative return, and this was aided by
strong selection. Crocs, Inc., K12, Inc., and Keysight Technologies, Inc. were the largest contributors to return and Ligand Pharmaceuticals, Inc., TechTarget, Inc., and Westlake Chemical Corp. were the largest detractors.
Based on our historical research, the themes that we emphasize in the Small/Mid Cap Growth Fund should outperform over longer
holding periods but, can have shorter periods of time when they lead to relative underperformance. We believe the key to success with this type of strategy is patience, and we expect stocks with attractive valuations, strong earnings, and price
momentum to potentially outperform in the years to come.
Market Outlook – Enhanced Dividend
Our focus on dividend yield and valuation created an interesting paradigm. Most of the factor themes – yield and value being key
players – that contributed to performance in the third fiscal quarter inverted and detracted during the fourth fiscal quarter. For the period, this led to reduction in the net effect for many of the factors. However, Size/market capitalization was
a constant detractor throughout the period. Though the Fund is large cap in nature, it is typically underweight larger and mega cap names relative to the benchmark. Even though Size created a headwind we feel strongly about the long-term success of
the Fund by focusing on: 1) large global dividend stocks with significant valuation discounts; 2) eliminating stocks not meeting our quality criteria; and 3) overweight stocks that qualify the most frequently, recently, and with the highest
overall factor profile.
Currently, many of the top contributors to the benchmark return are large tech, internet, or financial names which exhibit
valuations in the most expensive portion of the global market. Due to valuations, their names rarely make it into our funds which continues to be a headwind.
We believe the Enhanced Dividend Fund represents a unique take on the dividend space as well as offering discounted valuation
and stronger yield. As of January 31, 2019, the Enhanced Dividend Fund had a Price-to-Earnings (“PE”) ratio of 8.3 versus the benchmark PE of 15.6. The Enhanced Dividend Fund has a gross indicated yield of 6.8%, significantly higher than the
benchmark’s 2.8% yield. Additionally, the Fund saw strong bounce-back in January. We feel our long-term and differentiated take with respect to dividend-based strategies projects well for the future.
Market Outlook – Market Leaders Value, Small Cap Value, All Cap Core and Small-Mid Cap Growth
Equity markets experienced significant downtown during the period especially in the fourth fiscal quarter. Throughout 2018 and
holding true during the fiscal period ending January 31, 2019, there was severe multiple contraction driving down the price of stocks though the market was still historically expensive. The only consistent factor during the period was size, bigger
companies (especially mega cap with a market cap >$100 billion) outperformed in both value and growth regimes. Due to this, it was very difficult to outperform the relative market cap weighted benchmarks. Performance was poor in the fourth
fiscal quarter. As discussed, the Funds do not market cap weight and therefore exhibit less weight in larger and mega cap securities. During the first half of the fiscal period, growth funds outperformed value funds, but this trend inverted in the
second half. This push to value was primarily driven by large defensive stocks.
As long-term investors, we expect periodic downturns to occur and believe that discipline in our factor-based approach should
lead to positive excess returns. As this year progresses, we will continue to focus on our niche of the market: quality companies, often trading at out-of-favor prices, which are aggressively returning capital to equity shareholders through
dividends and share repurchases, and/or exhibit strong momentum. Given the weight of the evidence—across decades of empirical research and our own live performance—we expect strong performance in the future.
Given Market Leaders Value Fund’s, Small Cap Value Fund’s, All Cap Core Fund’s and Small-Mid Cap Growth Fund’s positioning
relative to their benchmarks—measured by the key characteristics we use in our stock selection process—we believe the Funds are well situated for 2019.

Investments in foreign securities involve political, economic and currency risks, greater volatility, and
differences in accounting methods. Emerging markets countries involve greater risks, such as immature economic structures, national policies restricting investments by foreigners, and different legal systems. Such risks may be magnified with
respect to securities of issuers in frontier emerging markets. Real estate investment trusts and foreign real estate companies may be less diversified than other pools of securities, may have lower trading volumes and may be subject to more abrupt
and erratic price movements than the overall securities markets. Investments in small-and medium-capitalization companies tend to have limited liquidity and greater price volatility than large-capitalization companies. Risks of derivatives include
the possible imperfect correlation between the value of instruments and the underlying assets; risks of default by the other party to the transaction; risks that the transactions may result in losses that partially or completely offset gains in
portfolio positions; and risks that instruments may not be liquid. The Market Leaders Value Fund and Small Cap Value Fund may experience higher fees and is subject to additional risks due to investments in other investment companies (including
exchange-traded funds).

Expense Example
at January 31, 2019 (Unaudited)
Shareholders in mutual funds generally incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including sales charges (loads) on
purchase payments, redemption fees, and exchange fees, and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees, distribution and/or service fees, and other fund expenses. This Example is 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. The Example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period (8/1/18 – 1/31/19).
Actual Expenses
For each class of each Fund, two lines are presented in the tables below, with the first line providing information about actual
account values and actual expenses. Actual net expenses are limited to 0.85%, 1.60%, and 0.60% for Class A shares, Class C shares, and Class I shares, respectively, of the All Cap Core Fund. Actual net expenses are limited to 0.99% for Class I
shares of the Enhanced Dividend Fund, 0.65% for Class I shares of the Market Leaders Value Fund, 0.99% for Class I shares of the Small Cap Value Fund, and 1.19% for Class I shares of the Small/Mid Cap Growth Fund, per the operating expenses
limitation agreement. In addition, you may be assessed a fee for outgoing wire transfers, returned checks, and stop payment orders at prevailing rates charged by U.S. Bancorp Fund Services, LLC, the Funds’ transfer agent. The Example below
includes, but is not limited to, management fees, fund accounting, custody and transfer agent fees. You may use the information in this line, 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 first line under the heading entitled “Expenses Paid During Period” for your fund and class to
estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.
Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes
For each class of each Fund, the second line provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses
based on the respective Fund’s actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Fund’s actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending
account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Funds 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. Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transaction costs, such as sales charges (loads), redemption fees, or exchange
fees. Therefore, the second line of the tables for each class of each Fund is useful in comparing ongoing costs only and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transaction costs were
included, your costs would have been higher.

O’Shaughnessy Mutual Funds
Notes to Financial Statements
at January 31, 2019 (Unaudited)
NOTE 1 – ORGANIZATION
The O’Shaughnessy All Cap Core Fund (the “All Cap Core Fund”), the O’Shaughnessy Enhanced Dividend Fund (the “Enhanced Dividend
Fund”), the O’Shaughnessy Market Leaders Value Fund (the “Market Leaders Value Fund”), the O’Shaughnessy Small Cap Value Fund (the “Small Cap Value Fund”) and the O’Shaughnessy Small/Mid Cap Growth Fund (the “Small/Mid Cap Growth Fund”) (together,
the “Funds”) are each a series of Advisors Series Trust (the “Trust”), which is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the “1940 Act”), as amended, as an open-end management investment company. The Funds follow the investment company
accounting and reporting guidance of the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standard Codification Topic 946 “Financial Services – Investment Companies”. The All Cap Core Fund, Enhanced Dividend Fund and Small/Mid Cap Growth
Fund, which are each diversified funds, began operations on August 16, 2010. The Market Leaders Value Fund and Small Cap Value Fund, which are each diversified funds, began operations on February 26, 2016. The investment objectives of the All Cap
Core, Market Leaders Value, Small Cap Value and Small/Mid Cap Growth Funds are to seek long-term capital appreciation and the investment objective of the Enhanced Dividend Fund is to seek long-term capital appreciation and income.
The All Cap Core Fund currently offers Class A shares, Class C shares and Class I shares. The Enhanced Dividend Fund, Market
Leaders Value Fund, Small Cap Value Fund and the Small/Mid Cap Growth Fund currently offer only Class I shares.
Class A shares may be subject to a 5.25% front-end sales load. Class A shares do not have a contingent deferred sales charge
(“CDSC”) except that a charge of 1.00% applies to certain redemptions made within twelve months, following purchases of $1 million or more without an initial sales charge. Class C shares may be subject to a CDSC of 1.00% on redemptions held for
one year or less after purchase.
NOTE 2 – SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The following is a summary of significant accounting policies consistently followed by the Funds. These policies are in
conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
A.
|
Security Valuation:
All investments in securities are recorded at their estimated fair value, as described in note 3.
|
B.
|
Federal Income Taxes: It
is the Funds’ policy to comply with the requirements of Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code applicable to regulated investment companies and to distribute substantially all of its taxable income to its shareholders. Therefore, no
Federal income or excise tax provision is required.
|
The Funds recognize the tax benefits of uncertain tax positions only where the position is “more likely than not” to be
sustained assuming examination by tax authorities. Management has analyzed the Funds’ tax positions and has concluded that no liability for unrecognized tax benefits should be recorded related to uncertain tax positions taken on the Funds’
returns filed for open tax years 2016-2018, or expected to be taken in the Funds’ 2019 tax returns. The Funds identify their major tax jurisdictions as U.S. Federal and the state of Wisconsin; however the Funds are not aware of any tax
positions for which it is reasonably possible that the total amounts of unrecognized tax benefits will change materially in the next twelve months.
|
|
C.
|
Security Transactions,
Income and Distributions: Security transactions are accounted for on the trade date. Realized gains and losses on securities sold are determined on the basis of identified cost. Interest income is recorded on an accrual basis.
Dividend income and distributions to shareholders are recorded on the ex-dividend date. 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 All Cap Core Fund, Market Leaders Value Fund, Small Cap Value Fund and Small/Mid Cap Growth Fund distribute
substantially all net investment income, if any, and net realized gains, if any, annually. The Enhanced Dividend Fund distributes substantially all net investment income, if any, monthly, and net realized gains, if any, annually.
Distributions from net realized gains for book purposes may include short-term capital gains. All short-term capital gains are included in ordinary income for tax purposes. The amount of dividends and distributions to shareholders from
net investment income and net realized capital gains is determined in accordance with Federal income tax regulations which differ from accounting principles generally accepted in

NOTE 2 – SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)
the United States of America. To the extent these book/tax differences are permanent, such amounts are reclassified
within the capital accounts based on their Federal tax treatment.
|
|
Investment income, expenses (other than those specific to the class of shares), and realized and unrealized gains and
losses on investments are allocated to the separate classes of a Fund based upon their relative net assets on the date income is earned or expensed and realized and unrealized gains and losses are incurred.
|
|
Each Fund is charged for those expenses that are directly attributable to the Fund, such as investment advisory,
custody, and transfer agent fees. Expenses that are not attributable to a Fund are typically allocated among the Funds in proportion to their respective net assets. Common expenses of the Trust are typically allocated among the funds in the
Trust based on a fund’s respective net assets, or by other equitable means.
|
|
D.
|
Reclassification of
Capital Accounts: Accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America require that certain components of net assets relating to permanent differences be reclassified between financial and tax reporting. These
reclassifications have no effect on net assets or net asset value per share.
|
E.
|
Use of Estimates:
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and
liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of increases and decreases in net assets during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
|
F.
|
Redemption Fee:
The Funds charge a 2.00% redemption fee to shareholders who redeem shares held 90 days or less. Such fees are retained by the Funds and accounted for as an addition to paid-in capital.
|
G.
|
REITs: The Funds
may invest in real estate investment trusts (“REITs”) which pay dividends to their shareholders based upon funds available from operations. It is quite common for these dividends to exceed the REIT’s taxable earnings and profits resulting
in the excess portion of such dividends being designated as a return of capital. The Funds intend to include the gross dividends from such REITs in their annual distributions to its shareholders and, accordingly, a portion of the Funds’
distributions may also be designated as a return of capital.
|
H.
|
Foreign Currency:
Investment securities and other assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollar amounts at the date of valuation. Purchases and sales of investment securities and income and expense items denominated
in foreign currencies are translated to U.S. dollar amounts on the respective dates of such transactions.
|
The Funds do not isolate those portions of the results of operations resulting from changes in foreign exchange rates on
investments from the fluctuations arising from changes in market prices of securities held. Such fluctuations are included with the net realized and unrealized gain or loss from investments.
|
|
Reported net realized foreign exchange gains or losses arise from sales of foreign currencies, currency gains or losses
realized between the trade and settlement dates on securities transactions, and the difference between the amounts of dividends, interest, and foreign withholding taxes recorded on the Funds’ books and the U.S. dollar equivalent of the
amounts actually received or paid. Net unrealized foreign exchange gains and losses arise from changes in the fair values of assets and liabilities, other than investments in securities at fiscal period-end, resulting from changes in
exchange rates.
|
|
I.
|
Events Subsequent to
the Fiscal Period End: In preparing the financial statements as of January 31, 2019, management considered the impact of subsequent events for potential recognition or disclosure in the financial statements. Management has
determined there were no subsequent events that would need to be disclosed in the Funds’ financial statements.

Notes to Financial Statements (Continued)
at January 31, 2019 (Unaudited)
NOTE 3 – SECURITIES VALUATION
The Funds have adopted authoritative fair value accounting standards which establish an authoritative definition of fair value
and set out a hierarchy for measuring fair value. These standards require additional disclosures about the various inputs and valuation techniques used to develop the measurements of fair value, a discussion in changes in valuation techniques and
related inputs during the period and expanded disclosure of valuation levels for major security types. These inputs are summarized in the three broad levels listed below:
Level 1 –
|
Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the Funds have the ability to
access.
|
Level 2 –
|
Observable inputs other than quoted prices included in level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either
directly or indirectly. These inputs may include quoted prices for the identical instrument on an inactive market, prices for similar instruments, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, yield curves, default rates and similar data.
|
Level 3 –
|
Unobservable inputs for the asset or liability, to the extent relevant observable inputs are not available, representing
the Fund’s own assumptions about the assumptions a market participant would use in valuing the asset or liability, and would be based on the best information available.
|
Following is a description of the valuation techniques applied to the Funds’ major categories of assets and liabilities measured
at fair value on a recurring basis.
Each Fund determines the fair value of its investments and computes its net asset value per share as of the close of regular
trading on the New York Stock Exchange (4:00 pm EST).
Equity Securities: The
Funds’ investments are carried at fair value. Equity securities, including common stocks, that are primarily traded on a national securities exchange shall be valued at the last sale price on the exchange on which they are primarily traded on the
day of valuation or, if there has been no sale on such day, at the mean between the bid and asked prices. Securities primarily traded in the NASDAQ Global Market System for which market quotations are readily available shall be valued using the
NASDAQ Official Closing Price (“NOCP”). If the NOCP is not available, such securities shall be valued at the last sale price on the day of valuation, or if there has been no sale on such day, at the mean between the bid and asked prices.
Over-the-counter securities which are not traded in the NASDAQ Global Market System shall be valued at the most recent sales price. The values for foreign securities are reported in local currency and converted to U.S. dollars using currency
exchange rates. Exchange rates are provided daily by a recognized independent pricing agent. Investments in open-end mutual funds are valued at their net asset value per share. To the extent these securities are actively traded and valuation
adjustments are not applied, they are categorized in level 1 of the fair value hierarchy.
Short-Term Securities:
Short-term debt securities, including those securities having a maturity of 60 days or less, are valued at the evaluated mean between the bid and asked prices. To the extent the inputs are observable and timely, these securities would be
classified in level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.
The Board of Trustees (“Board”) has delegated day-to-day valuation issues to a Valuation Committee of the Trust which is
comprised of representatives from U.S. Bancorp Fund Services, LLC, the Funds’ administrator. The function of the Valuation Committee is to value securities where current and reliable market quotations are not readily available or the closing price
does not represent fair value by following procedures approved by the Board. These procedures consider many factors, including the type of security, size of holding, trading volume and news events. All actions taken by the Valuation Committee are
subsequently reviewed and ratified by the Board.
Depending on the relative significance of the valuation inputs, fair valued securities may be classified in either level 2 or
level 3 of the fair value hierarchy.

Refer to the Funds’ schedules of investments for a detailed break-out of common stocks by industry classification. Transfers
between levels are recognized at January 31, 2019, the end of the reporting period. During the six months ended January 31, 2019, the Funds recognized no transfers between levels.
In August 2018, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Accounting Standard Update (“ASU”) 2018-13, Fair Value
Measurement (Topic 820): Disclosure Framework Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurement (“ASU 2018-13”). The primary focus of ASU 2018-13 is to improve the effectiveness of the disclosure requirements for fair value
measurements. The changes affect all companies that are required to include fair value measurement disclosures. In general, the amendments in ASU 2018-13 are effective for all entities for fiscal years and interim periods within those fiscal years,
beginning after December 15, 2019. An entity is permitted to early adopt the removed or modified disclosures upon the issuance of ASU 2018-13 and may delay adoption of the additional disclosures, which are required for public companies only, until
their effective date. Management is currently evaluating the impact these changes will have on the Funds’ financial statements and disclosures.
NOTE 4 – INVESTMENT ADVISORY FEE AND OTHER TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES
For the six months ended January 31, 2019, O’Shaughnessy Asset Management, LLC (the “Advisor”) provided the Funds with
investment management services under an investment advisory agreement. The Advisor furnished all investment advice, office space, facilities, and provides most of the personnel needed by the Funds. As compensation for its services, the Advisor is
entitled to a fee, computed daily and payable monthly. The All Cap Core

Fund, Enhanced Dividend Fund and Small/Mid Cap Growth Fund pay fees calculated at an annual rate of 0.55%, 0.65% and 0.60%,
respectively, based upon the average daily net assets of each Fund. For the Market Leaders Value Fund, the fees are calculated at an annual rate of 0.55% of average daily net assets for the first $25 million of assets, 0.45% of the Fund’s average
daily net assets for the next $75 million of assets, and 0.35% of the Fund’s average daily net assets in excess of $100 million. For the Small Cap Value Fund, effective November 28, 2018, the fees are calculated at an annual rate of 0.80%
(previously 0.85%) of average daily net assets for the first $25 million of assets, 0.75% of the Fund’s average daily net assets for the next $75 million of assets, and 0.60% of the Fund’s average daily net assets in excess of $100 million. For
the six months ended January 31, 2019, the All Cap Core Fund, Enhanced Dividend Fund, Market Leaders Value Fund, Small Cap Value Fund and Small/Mid Cap Growth Fund incurred $26,926, $30,291, $333,102, $80,084 and $47,124 in advisory fees,
respectively.
Each Fund is responsible for its own operating expenses. The Advisor has agreed to temporarily reduce, through at least November
27, 2019, fees payable to it by the All Cap Core Fund, and to pay Fund operating expenses (excluding acquired fund fees and expenses, taxes, interest expense and extraordinary expenses) to the extent necessary to limit the Fund’s aggregate annual
operating expenses as follows:

|
The Advisor has contractually, through at least November 27, 2019, agreed to reduce fees payable to it by the Enhanced Dividend
Fund, the Market Leaders Value Fund, the Small Cap Value Fund and the Small/Mid Cap Growth Fund and to pay Fund operating expenses (excluding acquired fund fees and expenses, taxes, interest expense and extraordinary expenses) to the extent
necessary to limit the Funds’ aggregate annual operating expenses as follows:

The Advisor is not able to recoup the fees waived of $139,297 in the All Cap Core Fund, which are subject to the temporary
expense limitation. Effective November 28, 2018, the Market Leaders Value Fund and the Small Cap Value Fund discontinued their temporary expense limitation agreements, therefore, any fees waived beginning November 28, 2018 will be subject to
recapture. The Advisor is not able to recoup fees waived prior to November 28, 2018 of $0 and $55,557, respectively, for the Market Leaders Value Fund and the Small Cap Value Fund.
The Advisor may request recoupment of previously waived fees and paid expenses in any subsequent month in the 36-month period
from the date of the management fee reduction and expense payment if the aggregate amount actually paid by the Funds toward the operating expenses for such fiscal year (taking into account the reimbursement) will not cause the Funds to exceed the
lesser of: (1) the expense limitation in place at the time of the management fee reduction and expense payment; or (2) the expense limitation in place at the time of the reimbursement. Any such reimbursement is also contingent upon Board of
Trustees review and approval at the time the reimbursement is made. Such reimbursement may not be paid prior to the Funds’ payment of current ordinary operating expenses. For the six months ended January 31, 2019, the Advisor reduced its fees
and/or made expense payments in the amount of $139,297, $74,057, $84,467 and $52,614 for the All Cap Core Fund, Enhanced Dividend Fund, Small Cap Value Fund and Small/Mid Cap Growth Fund, respectively.

U.S. Bancorp Fund Services, LLC (“Fund Services” or the “Administrator”), doing business as U.S. Bank Global Fund Services,
serves as the Funds’ administrator, fund accountant and transfer agent. In those capacities Fund Services maintains the Funds’ books and records, calculates the Funds’ NAV, prepares various federal and state regulatory filings, coordinates the
payment of fund expenses, reviews expense accruals and prepares materials supplied to the Board of Trustees. The officers of the Trust and the Chief Compliance Officer are also employees of Fund Services. Fees paid by the Funds to Fund Services
for these services for the six months ended January 31, 2019, are disclosed in the Statements of Operations.
Quasar Distributors, LLC (the “Distributor”) acts as the Funds’ principal underwriter in a continuous public offering of the
Funds’ shares. U.S. Bank N.A. serves as custodian (the “Custodian”) to the Funds. Both the Distributor and Custodian are affiliates of the Administrator.
NOTE 5 – DISTRIBUTION AGREEMENT AND PLAN
The All Cap Core Fund has adopted a Distribution Plan pursuant to Rule 12b-1 (the “Plan”). The Plan permits the All Cap Core
Fund to pay for distribution and related expenses at an annual rate of up to 0.25% of the average daily net assets of the All Cap Core Fund’s Class A shares and up to 1.00% of the All Cap Core Fund’s Class C shares. The expenses covered by the Plan
may include the cost in connection with the promotion and distribution of shares and the provision of personal services to shareholders, including, but not necessarily limited to, advertising, compensation to underwriters, dealers and selling
personnel, the printing and mailing of prospectuses to other than current Fund shareholders, and the printing and mailing of sales literature. Payments made pursuant to the Plan will represent compensation for distribution and service activities,
not reimbursements for specific expenses incurred. For the six months ended January 31, 2019, the All Cap Core Fund paid the Distributor $1,499 and $17,494 for Class A and Class C shares, respectively.
NOTE 6 – SHAREHOLDER SERVICING FEE
The Funds have entered into a shareholder servicing agreement (the “Agreement”) with the Advisor, under which the Funds may pay
servicing fees at an annual rate of 0.15% of the average daily net assets of each class. Payments to the Advisor under the Agreement may reimburse the Advisor for payments it makes to selected brokers, dealers and administrators which have entered
into service agreements with the Advisor for services provided to shareholders of the Funds. The services provided by such intermediaries are primarily designed to assist shareholders of the Funds and include the furnishing of office space and
equipment, telephone facilities, personnel and assistance to the Funds in servicing such shareholders. Services provided by such intermediaries also include the provision of support services to the Funds and include establishing and maintaining
shareholders’ accounts and record processing, purchase and redemption transactions, answering routine client inquiries regarding the Funds, and providing such other personal services to shareholders as the Funds may reasonably request. For the six
months ended January 31, 2019, the All Cap Core Fund, Enhanced Dividend Fund, Market Leaders Value Fund, Small Cap Value Fund and Small/Mid Cap Growth did not accrue shareholder servicing fees.

Any differences between the book basis and tax basis net unrealized appreciation and cost are attributable primarily to
the tax deferral of losses on wash sales adjustments.

At July 31, 2018, the Enhanced Dividend Fund had short-term and long-term capital loss carryforwards of $17,377,518 and
$909,069, respectively. These capital losses may be carried forward indefinitely to offset future gains.
At July 31, 2018, the Small/Mid Cap Growth Fund deferred, on a tax basis, late-year ordinary losses of $32,393. These losses
were incurred between January 1, 2018 and July 31, 2018, and are deemed to arise on August 1, 2018.
NOTE 10 – PRINCIPAL RISKS
Below is a summary of some, but not all, of the principal risks of investing in the Funds, each of which may adversely affect a
Fund’s net asset value and total return. The Funds’ most recent prospectus provides further descriptions of each Fund’s investment objective, principal investment strategies and principal risks.
•
|
Sector Risk. To
the extent a Fund invests a significant portion of its assets in the securities of companies in the same sector of the market, the Fund is more susceptible to economic, political, regulatory and other occurrences influencing those sectors.
|
•
|
Foreign Securities and
Emerging Markets Risk. The risks of investing in the securities of foreign issuers, including emerging market issuers and depositary receipts, can include fluctuations in foreign currencies, foreign currency exchange controls,
political and economic instability, differences in securities regulation and trading, and foreign taxation issues. These risks are greater in emerging markets.

Notes to Financial Statements (Continued)
at January 31, 2019 (Unaudited)
NOTE 10 – PRINCIPAL RISKS (Continued)
•
|
Depositary Receipt Risk.
A Fund’s equity investments may take the form of sponsored or unsponsored depositary receipts. Holders of unsponsored depositary receipts generally bear all the costs of such facilities and the depositary of an unsponsored facility
frequently is under no obligation to distribute shareholder communications received from the issuer of the deposited security or to pass through voting rights to the holders of such receipts of the deposited securities.
|
•
|
Small- and Medium-Sized
Companies Risk. Small- and medium-sized companies often have less predictable earnings, more limited product lines, markets, distribution channels or financial resources and the management of such companies may be dependent upon
one or few key people. The market movements of equity securities of small- and medium-sized companies may be more abrupt and volatile than the market movements of equity securities of larger, more established companies or the stock market
in general and small-sized companies in particular, are generally less liquid than the equity securities of larger companies.
|
•
|
REITs and Foreign Real
Estate Company Risk. Investing in REITs and foreign real estate companies makes a Fund more susceptible to risks associated with the ownership of real estate and with the real estate industry in general, as well as tax compliance
risks, and may involve duplication of management fees and other expenses. REITs and foreign real estate companies may be less diversified than other pools of securities, may have lower trading volumes and may be subject to more abrupt or
erratic price movements than the overall securities markets.
|
•
|
Frontier Markets Risk.
There is an additional increased risk of price volatility associated with frontier market countries (pre-emerging markets), which may be further magnified by currency fluctuations relative to the U.S. dollar. Frontier market countries
generally have smaller economies or less developed capital markets than in more advanced emerging markets and, as a result, the risks of investing in emerging market countries may be magnified in frontier market countries.
|
•
|
Value Style Investing
Risk. At times when the value investing style is out of favor, the Fund may underperform other funds that use different investing styles. Value stocks may be purchased based upon the belief that a given security may be out of
favor; that belief may be misplaced or the security may stay out of favor for an extended period of time.

O’Shaughnessy Mutual Funds
Approval of Investment Advisory Agreement
(Unaudited)
At a meeting held on December 5-6, 2018, the Board (which is comprised of five persons, all of whom are Independent Trustees as
defined under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended), considered and approved, for another annual term, the continuance of the investment advisory agreement (the “Advisory Agreement”) between Advisors Series Trust (the “Trust”) and
O’Shaughnessy Asset Management, LLC (the “Advisor”) on behalf of the O’Shaughnessy All Cap Core Fund (the “All Cap Core Fund”), O’Shaughnessy Enhanced Dividend Fund (the “Enhanced Dividend Fund”), the O’Shaughnessy Small/Mid Cap Growth Fund (the
“Small/Mid Cap Growth Fund”), the O’Shaughnessy Markets Leaders Value Fund (the “Market Leaders Value Fund”) and the O’Shaughnessy Small Cap Value Fund (the “Small Cap Value Fund”) (collectively, the “Funds”). At this meeting, and at a prior
meeting held on October 17-18, 2018, the Board received and reviewed substantial information regarding the Funds, the Advisor and the services provided by the Advisor to the Funds under the Advisory Agreement. This information, together with the
information provided to the Board throughout the course of the year, formed the primary (but not exclusive) basis for the Board’s determinations. Below is a summary of the factors considered by the Board and the conclusions that formed the basis
for the Board’s approval of the continuance of the Advisory Agreement:
1.
|
THE NATURE, EXTENT AND QUALITY OF THE SERVICES PROVIDED AND TO BE PROVIDED BY THE ADVISOR UNDER THE ADVISORY AGREEMENT.
The Board considered the nature, extent and quality of the Advisor’s overall services provided to the Funds, as well as its responsibilities in all aspects of day-to-day investment management of the Funds. The Board considered the
qualifications, experience and responsibilities of the portfolio managers, as well as the responsibilities of other key personnel of the Advisor involved in the day-to-day activities of the Funds. The Board also considered the resources
and compliance structure of the Advisor, including information regarding its compliance program, its chief compliance officer and the Advisor’s compliance record, as well as the Advisor’s cybersecurity program and business continuity plan.
The Board also considered the prior relationship between the Advisor and the Trust, as well as the Board’s knowledge of the Advisor’s operations, and noted that during the course of the prior year they had met with the Advisor to discuss
Fund performance and investment outlook as well as various marketing and compliance topics, including the Advisor’s risk management process. The Board concluded that the Advisor had the quality and depth of personnel, resources, investment
methods, and compliance policies and procedures essential to performing its duties under the Advisory Agreement and that the nature, overall quality and extent of such management services are satisfactory.
|
2.
|
THE FUNDS’ HISTORICAL PERFORMANCE AND THE OVERALL PERFORMANCE OF THE ADVISOR. In assessing the quality of the portfolio
management delivered by the Advisor, the Board reviewed the short-term and long-term performance of each Fund as of July 31, 2018 on both an absolute basis and in comparison to its peer funds utilizing Morningstar classifications and
appropriate securities benchmarks. While the Board considered both short-term and long-term performance, it placed greater emphasis on longer term performance. The Board noted that the Market Leaders Value Fund and the Small Cap Value
Fund were each newer, with less than three years of performance. The Board also took into account that each Fund’s track record is measured as of a specific date, and that track records can vary as of different measurement dates. Therefore,
in reviewing a Fund’s performance, the Trustees also considered the broader perspective of the Fund’s performance over varying time periods, the market conditions experienced during the periods under review, as well as the outlook for the
Fund going forward in light of expected market conditions. When reviewing each Fund’s performance against its comparative peer group universe, the Board took into account that the investment objectives and strategies of each Fund, as well
as its level of risk tolerance, may differ significantly from funds in its peer universe. The Trustees also discussed with the Advisor and considered that certain periods of underperformance may be transitory while other periods of
underperformance may be reflective of broader issues that may warrant consideration of corrective action. The Board therefore took into account the Advisor’s views as to the reasons for each Fund’s relative performance against peers and
benchmarks over various time periods and its future outlook for each Fund. In considering each Fund’s performance, the Trustees placed greater emphasis on performance against peers as opposed to the unmanaged benchmark indices.

The Board reviewed the performance of the Fund against broad-based securities market benchmarks.
|
|
The Board also considered the Fund’s performance compared to the Advisor’s similarly managed composite and considered
the reasons for any differences. The Board noted that the Advisor represented that differences in performance between the Fund and the composite of similarly managed accounts are due to a limitation on the number of holdings for similarly
managed accounts (no more than 100), which does not apply to the Fund.
|
|
Enhanced Dividend Fund:
The Board noted that the Fund’s performance, with regard to its Morningstar comparative universe, was above its peer group median for the one-year and three-year periods and below its peer group median for the five-year and since inception
periods.

THE COSTS OF THE SERVICES TO BE PROVIDED BY THE ADVISOR AND THE STRUCTURE OF THE ADVISOR’S FEE UNDER THE ADVISORY
AGREEMENT. In considering the advisory fee and total fees and expenses of each Fund, the Board reviewed comparisons to the peer funds and the Advisor’s similarly managed separate accounts for other types of clients, as well as all expense
waivers and reimbursements. When reviewing fees charged to other similarly managed accounts, the Board took into account the type of account and the differences in the management of that account that might be germane to the difference, if
any, in the fees charged to such accounts.
|
All Cap Core Fund:
The Board noted that the Advisor had contractually agreed to maintain an expense limitation for the Fund of 1.24% for the Class A shares, 1.99% for the Class C shares and 0.99% for the Class I shares (respectively, the “Expense Caps”). The
Board also noted that throughout the period, the Advisor had voluntarily agreed to maintain an expense limitation for the Fund of 0.85% for the Class A shares, 1.60% for the Class C shares and 0.60% for the Class I shares. The Board noted
that the Fund’s total expense ratio with

(Unaudited)
the voluntary expense limitation was below the peer group median and peer group average for Class I and Class A and
above the peer group median and average for Class C. Additionally, the Board considered that when the Fund’s peer group was adjusted to include only funds with similar asset sizes, the total expense ratio with the voluntary expense
limitation for the Class I and Class A shares was below the median and average, and the total expense ratio for the Class C shares was above the median and average. The Board noted that the Fund’s contractual advisory fee was slightly
below its peer group median and slightly above its peer group average. Additionally, the Board noted that the Fund’s contractual advisory fee was below the median and average of the Fund’s peer group when adjusted to include only funds
with similar asset sizes. The Board also considered that after advisory fee waivers and the reimbursement of Fund expenses necessary to maintain the Expense Caps, the Advisor did not receive any advisory fees from the Fund for the year
ended July 31, 2018. The Board also took into consideration the services the Advisor provided to its similarly managed account clients, comparing the fees charged for those management services to the management fees charged to the Fund.
The Board found that the management fees charged to the Fund were lower than or equal to the fees charged to the Advisor’s similarly managed account clients depending on the asset level.

Board also considered that after advisory fee waivers and the reimbursement of Fund expenses necessary to maintain the Expense Cap, the Advisor received only 0.03% of advisory fees from the Fund for the year ended July 31, 2018. The Board
also took into consideration the services the Advisor provided to its similarly managed account clients, comparing the fees charged for those management services to the management fees charged to the Fund. The Board found that the

Market Leaders Value
Fund: The Board noted that the Advisor had voluntarily agreed to maintain an expense limitation for the Fund of 0.65% for the Class I shares (the “Expense Cap”) and that effective November 28, 2018, the Advisor had contractually

include only funds with similar asset sizes, the total expense ratio was below the median and average. The Board noted that the Fund’s contractual advisory fee was below its peer group median and average, as well as below the median and

Approval of Investment Advisory Agreement (Continued)
(Unaudited)
Small Cap Value Fund:
The Board noted that the Advisor had voluntarily agreed to maintain an expense limitation for the Fund of 0.99% for the Class I shares (the “Expense Cap”) and that effective November 28, 2018, the Advisor had contractually agreed to
maintain that Expense Cap. The Board noted that the Fund’s total expense ratio was below its peer group median and average. Additionally, the Board considered that when the Fund’s peer group was adjusted to include only funds with similar
asset sizes, the total expense ratio was below the peer group median and average. The Board noted that the Fund’s contractual advisory fee was previously 0.85% but was reduced to 0.80% on October 18, 2018. The Board noted that the newer
contractual advisory fee was equal to its peer group median and slightly above its peer group average, as well as below the peer group median and average when adjusted to include only funds with similar asset sizes. The Board also
considered that after advisory fee waivers and the reimbursement of Fund expenses necessary to maintain the Expense Cap, the Advisor did not receive any advisory fees from the Fund for the year ended July 31, 2018. The Board also took into
consideration the services the Advisor provided to its similarly managed account clients, comparing the fees charged for those management services to the management fees charged to the Fund. The Board found that the management fees charged
to the Fund were higher than, equal to, or lower than the fees charged to the Advisor’s similarly managed account clients depending on the asset level.
|
|
The Board determined that it would continue to monitor the appropriateness of the advisory fee for each Fund and
concluded that, at this time, the fees to be paid to the Advisor were fair and reasonable.
|
|
4.
|
ECONOMIES OF SCALE. The Board also considered whether economies of scale were being realized by the Advisor that should
be shared with shareholders. In this regard, the Board noted that the Advisor contractually and/or voluntarily agreed to reduce its advisory fees or reimburse Fund expenses so that the Funds do not exceed the specified Expense Caps. The
Board also noted that the Market Leaders Value Fund and Small Cap Value Fund advisory fees included breakpoints. The Board noted that at current asset levels, it did not appear that there were additional significant economies of scale being
realized by the Advisor and concluded that it would continue to monitor economies of scale in the future as circumstances changed and assuming asset levels continued to increase.
|
5.
|
THE PROFITS TO BE REALIZED BY THE ADVISOR AND ITS AFFILIATES FROM THEIR RELATIONSHIP WITH THE FUNDS. The Board reviewed
the Advisor’s financial information and took into account both the direct benefits and the indirect benefits to the Advisor from advising the Funds, such as benefits received in the form of Rule 12b-1 fees received from the Funds which are
used to pay custodial platform costs. The Board also considered that the Funds do not utilize “soft dollar” benefits that may be received by the Advisor in exchange for Fund brokerage. The Board considered the profitability to the Advisor
from its relationship with the Funds and considered any additional benefits derived by the Advisor from its relationship with the Funds. After such review, the Board determined that the profitability to the Advisor with respect to the
Advisory Agreement was not excessive, and that the Advisor had maintained adequate profit levels to support the services it provides to the Funds.
|
No single factor was determinative of the Board’s decision to approve the continuance of the Advisory Agreement for the All Cap
Core Fund, the Enhanced Dividend Fund, the Small/Mid Cap Growth Fund, the Market Leaders Value Fund and the Small Cap Value Fund, but rather the Board based its determination on the total combination of information available to them. Based on a
consideration of all the factors in their totality, the Board determined that the advisory arrangements with the Advisor, including the advisory fees, were fair and reasonable. The Board therefore determined that the continuance of the Advisory
Agreement for the Funds would be in the best interests of the Funds and their shareholders.
