https://www.redwheel.com/us/en/accredited/funds-and-documents/
Rule 30e-1 of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, permits funds to transmit only one copy of a proxy statement, annual report or semi-annual report to shareholders (who need not be related) with the same residential, commercial or electronic address, provided that the shareholders have consented in writing and the reports are addressed either to each shareholder individually or to the shareholders as a group. This process is known as "householding" and is designed to reduce the duplicate copies of materials that shareholders receive and to lower printing and mailing costs for funds. Once implemented, if you would like to discontinue householding for your accounts, please call toll-free at 1-855-RWC-FUND to request individual copies of these documents. Once the Fund receives notice to stop householding, we will begin sending individual copies 30 days after receiving your request.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
1. Organization:
The Advisors' Inner Circle Fund III (the "Trust") is organized as a Delaware statutory trust under a Declaration of Trust dated December 4, 2013. The Trust is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, as an open-end management investment company with 44 funds. The financial statements herein are those of the Redwheel Global Emerging Equity Fund and Redwheel Next Generation Power Infrastructure Fund (each a "Fund" and collectively the "Funds"). The investment objective of the Redwheel Global Emerging Equity Fund is to seek long-term capital appreciation. The investment objective of Redwheel Next Generation Power Infrastructure Fund is to seek long-term total return derived principally from a combination of capital appreciation and income over time. The Redwheel Global Emerging Equity Fund is classified as a diversified investment company. The Redwheel Next Generation Power Infrastructure Fund is classified as a "nondiversified" investment company, which means that the Fund may invest a larger percentage of the Fund's assets in a smaller number of issuers than a diversified fund. RWC Asset Advisors (US) LLC serves as the investment adviser (the "Adviser") for Redwheel Global Emerging Equity Fund and RWC Asset Management LLP serves as the investment adviser (the "Adviser") for Redwheel Next Generation Power Infrastructure Fund. The Redwheel Global Emerging Equity Fund currently offers Class N Shares, Class I Shares and Institutional Class Shares. As of March 31, 2026, only Class I and the Institutional Class have outstanding shares. Redwheel Next Generation Power Infrastructure Fund currently offers Institutional Class Shares and Class A Shares. The Redwheel Global Emerging Equity Fund commenced operations on December 30, 2016. Redwheel Next Generation Power Infrastructure Fund commenced operations on August 7, 2020. The financial statements of the remaining funds of the Trust are presented separately. The assets of each fund are segregated, and a shareholder's interest is limited to the fund in which shares are held.
Effective March 26, 2025, the Redwheel Next Generation Power Infrastructure Fund changed its fiscal year end to September 30.
Effective September 11, 2025, the "Ecofin Global Renewables Infrastructure Fund" changed its name to "Redwheel Next Generation Power Infrastructure Fund."
2. Significant Accounting Policies:
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles ("U.S. GAAP") and are presented in U.S. dollars which is the functional currency of the Funds. The Funds are investment companies and therefore apply the accounting and reporting guidance issued by the U.S. Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") in Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") Topic 946, Financial Services - Investment Companies. The following are significant accounting policies which are consistently followed in the preparation of the financial statements.
Use of Estimates - The preparation of financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the fair value of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of increases and decreases in net assets from operations during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates and such differences could be material.
Security Valuation - Securities listed on a securities exchange, market or automated quotation system for which quotations are readily available (except for securities traded on NASDAQ Stock Market (the "NASADQ")), including securities traded over the counter, are valued at the last quoted sale price on an exchange or market (foreign or domestic) on which they are traded or, if there is no such reported sale on the valuation date, at the most recent quoted bid price. For securities traded on NASDAQ, the NASDAQ official closing price will be used. The prices for foreign securities are reported in local currency and converted to U.S. dollars using currency exchange rates. Prices for most securities held in the Funds are provided daily by recognized independent pricing agents. If a security price cannot be obtained from an independent, third-party pricing agent, the Fund seeks to obtain a bid price from at least one independent broker.

| THE ADVISORS' INNER CIRCLE FUND III |
REDWHEEL FUNDS |
| MARCH 31, 2026 (UNAUDITED) |
Securities for which market prices are not "readily available" are valued in accordance with fair value procedures (the "Fair Value Procedures") established by the Adviser and approved by the Trust's Board of Trustees (the "Board"). Pursuant to Rule 2a-5 under the 1940 Act, the Board has designated the Adviser as the "valuation designee" to determine the fair value of securities and other instruments for which no readily available market quotations are available. The Fair Value Procedures are implemented through a Fair Value Committee (the "Committee") of the Adviser.
Some of the more common reasons that may necessitate that a security be valued using Fair Value Procedures include: the security's trading has been halted or suspended; the security has been de-listed from a national exchange; the security's primary trading market is temporarily closed at a time when under normal conditions it would be open; the security has not been traded for an extended period of time; the security's primary pricing source is not able or willing to provide a price; or trading of the security is subject to local government imposed restrictions. When a security is valued in accordance with the Fair Value Procedures, the Committee will determine the value after taking into consideration relevant information reasonably available to the Committee.
For securities that principally trade on a foreign market or exchange, a significant gap in time can exist between the time of a particular security's last trade and the time at which the Fund calculates its net asset value. The closing prices of such securities may no longer reflect their market value at the time the Fund calculates its net asset value if an event that could materially affect the value of those securities (a "Significant Event") has occurred between the time of the security's last close and the time that the Fund calculates net asset value. A Significant Event may relate to a single issuer or to an entire market sector. If the Advisers of the Funds become aware of a Significant Event that has occurred with respect to a security or group of securities after the closing of the exchange or market on which the security or securities principally trade, but before the time at which the Fund calculates its net asset value, they may request that a Committee meeting be called.
The Funds use Intercontinental Exchange Data Pricing & Reference Data, LLC. ("ICE") as a third party fair valuation vendor. ICE provides a fair value for foreign securities in the Funds based on certain factors and methodologies (involving, generally, tracking valuation correlations between the U.S. market and each non-U.S. security) applied by ICE in the event that there is a movement in the U.S. market that exceeds a specific threshold established by the Committee. The Committee establishes a "confidence interval" which is used to determine the level of correlation between the value of a foreign security and movements in the U.S. market before a particular security is fair valued when the threshold is exceeded. In the event that the threshold established by the Committee is exceeded on a specific day, the Funds value its non-U.S. securities that exceed the applicable "confidence interval" based upon the fair values provided by ICE. In such event, it is not necessary to hold a Committee meeting. In the event that the Adviser believes that the fair values provided by ICE are not reliable, the Adviser contacts SEI Investments Global Fund Services (the "Administrator") and may request that a meeting of the Committee be held.
29
| THE ADVISORS' INNER CIRCLE FUND III |
REDWHEEL FUNDS |
| MARCH 31, 2026 (UNAUDITED) |
If a local market in which the Fund owns securities is closed for one or more days, the Funds shall value all securities held in that corresponding currency based on the fair value prices provided by ICE using the predetermined confidence interval discussed above.
In accordance with U.S. GAAP, the Funds disclose fair value of its investments in a hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure the fair value. The objective of a fair value measurement is to determine the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date (an exit price). Accordingly, the fair value hierarchy gives the highest priority to quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3). The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are described below:
| ● | Level 1 - Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical, unrestricted assets or liabilities that the Funds have the ability to access at the measurement date; |
| ● | Level 2 - Other significant observable inputs (includes quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, referenced indices, quoted prices in inactive markets, adjusted quoted prices in active markets, adjusted quoted prices on foreign equity securities that were adjusted in accordance with pricing procedures approved by the Board, etc.); and |
| ● | Level 3 - Prices, inputs or proprietary modeling techniques which are both significant to the fair value measurement and unobservable (supported by little or no market activity). |
For details of investment classifications, reference the Schedules of Investments.
Investments are classified within the level of the lowest significant input considered in determining fair value. Investments classified within Level 3 whose fair value measurement considers several inputs may include Level 1 or Level 2 inputs as components of the overall fair value measurement.
On February 24, 2022, Russia engaged in military actions in the sovereign territory of Ukraine. The current political and financial uncertainty surrounding Russia and Ukraine may increase market volatility and the economic risk of financial markets. The ultimate fallout and long-term impact from these events are not known. From the start of the conflict in Ukraine, Russian-held investments held by the Redwheel Global Emerging Equity Fund were fair valued due to sanctions and inaccessibility of the market.
Federal Income Taxes - It is the Funds' intention to qualify as a regulated investment company for Federal income tax purposes by complying with the appropriate provisions of Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended. Accordingly, no provisions for Federal income taxes have been made in the financial statements.
The Funds evaluate tax positions taken or expected to be taken in the course of preparing the Funds' tax returns to determine whether it is "more-likely than-not" (i.e., greater than 50-percent) that each tax position will be sustained upon examination by a taxing authority based on the technical merits of the position. Tax positions not deemed to meet the more-likely-than-not threshold are recorded as a tax benefit or expense in the current period. The Funds did not record any tax provision in the current period. However, management's conclusions regarding tax positions taken may be subject to review and adjustment at a later date based on factors including, but not limited to, examination by tax authorities (i.e., from commencement of operations, as applicable), on-going analysis of and changes to tax laws, regulations and interpretations thereof.

| MARCH 31, 2026 (UNAUDITED) |
As of and during period ended March 31, 2026, the Funds did not have a liability for any unrecognized tax benefits. The Funds recognize interest and penalties, if any, related to unrecognized tax benefits as income tax expense in the Statements of Operations. During the period ended March 31, 2026, the Funds did not incur any significant interest or penalties.
Withholding taxes on foreign dividends have been provided for in accordance with the Funds' understanding of the applicable country's tax rules and rates. The Funds or their agent files withholding tax reclaims in certain jurisdictions to recover certain amounts previously withheld. The Funds may record a reclaim receivable based on collectability, which includes factors such as the jurisdiction's applicable laws, payment history and market convention. Professional fees paid to those that provide assistance in receiving the tax reclaims, which generally are contingent upon successful receipt of reclaimed amounts, are recorded in Professional Fees on the Statement of Operations, if applicable, once the amounts are due. The professional fees related to pursuing these tax reclaims are not subject to the Adviser's expense limitation agreement.
Foreign Taxes - The Funds may be subject to taxes imposed by countries in which it invests. Such taxes are generally based on either income or gains earned or repatriated. The Funds accrue and apply such taxes to net investment income, net realized gains and net unrealized gains as income and/or capital gains are earned. The Redwheel Global Emerging Equity Fund has accrued foreign capital gain tax in the amount of $241,751 presented on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities.
Security Transactions and Investment Income - Security transactions are accounted for on trade date. Costs used in determining realized gains and losses on the sale of investment securities are based on the specific identification method. Dividend income and expense are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Interest income is recognized on the accrual basis from settlement date. Certain dividends from foreign securities will be recorded as soon as the Funds are informed of the dividend if such information is obtained subsequent to the ex-dividend date.
Distributions received from the Funds' investments generally are comprised of ordinary income and return of capital. The Funds allocated distributions between investment income and return of capital based on estimates made at the time such distributions are received. Such estimates are based on information provided by each portfolio company and other industry sources. These estimates may subsequently be revised based on actual allocations received from the portfolio companies after their tax reporting are concluded, as the actual character of these distributions is not known until after the fiscal year end of the Funds.
Foreign Currency Translation - The books and records of the Funds are maintained in U.S. dollars. Investment securities and other assets and liabilities denominated in a foreign currency are translated into U.S. dollars on the date of valuation. The Funds do not isolate that portion of realized or unrealized gains and losses resulting from changes in the foreign exchange rate from fluctuations arising from changes in the market prices of the securities. These gains and losses are included in net realized and unrealized gains and losses on investments on the Statements of Operations. Net realized and unrealized gains and losses on foreign currency transactions represent net foreign exchange gains or losses from foreign currency exchange contracts, disposition of foreign currencies, currency gains or losses realized between trade and settlement dates on securities transactions and the difference between the amount of the investment income and foreign withholding taxes recorded on the Funds' books and the U.S. dollar equivalent of the amounts actually received or paid.

Cash - Idle cash may be swept into various time deposit accounts and is classified as cash on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities. The Funds maintains cash in bank deposit accounts which, at times, may exceed United States federally insured limits. Amounts invested are available on the same business day.
Expenses - Most expenses of the Trust can be directly attributed to a particular fund. Expenses which cannot be directly attributed to a particular fund are apportioned among the funds of the Trust based on the number of funds and/or relative net assets.
Classes - Class specific expenses are borne by that class of shares. Income, realized and unrealized gains (losses), and non-class specific expenses are allocated to the respective class on the basis of relative daily net assets.
Dividends and Distributions to Shareholders - The Funds distribute substantially all of their net investment income annually. Any net realized capital gains are distributed annually. All distributions are recorded on ex-dividend date.
Equity-Linked Warrants - The Funds may invest in equity-linked and index-linked warrants. Equity-linked warrants provide a way for investors to access markets where entry is difficult or costly. A Fund purchases the equity-linked and index-linked warrants from a broker, who in turn is expected to purchase shares in the local market and issue a call warrant hedged on the underlying holdings. If the Fund exercises its call and closes its position, the shares are expected to be sold and the warrant redeemed with the proceeds. Each warrant typically represents one share of the underlying stock or basket of stocks representing the index. Therefore, the price, performance and liquidity of the warrant are all linked to the underlying stock or index, less transaction costs. Equity-linked warrants are generally valued at the closing price of the underlying securities, then adjusted for stock dividends declared by the underlying securities. In addition to the market risk related to the underlying holdings, the Fund bears additional counterparty risk with respect to the issuing broker. A Fund may also purchase warrants, issued by banks and other financial institutions, whose values are based on the values from time to time of one or more securities indices.
Forward Foreign Currency Contracts - The Funds may enter into forward foreign currency contracts as hedges against either specific transactions, fund positions or anticipated fund positions. The Funds may also engage in currency transactions to enhance the Funds' returns. All commitments are "marked-to-market" daily at the applicable foreign exchange rate, and any resulting unrealized gains or losses are recorded currently. The Funds realizes gains and losses at the time forward contracts are extinguished. Unrealized gains or losses on outstanding positions in forward foreign currency contracts held at the close of the period are recognized as ordinary income or loss for Federal income tax purposes. The Funds could be exposed to risk if the counterparties to the contracts are unable to meet the terms of the contract and from unanticipated movements in the value of a foreign currency relative to the U.S. dollar. Finally, the risk exists that losses could exceed amounts disclosed on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities. There were no open forward foreign currency contracts as of March 31, 2026.
Swap Contracts - The Funds are authorized to enter into swap contracts, including total return swaps and equity swaps contracts. Swaps are a two-party contract in which the seller (buyer) will pay to the buyer (seller) the difference between the current value of a security and its value at the time the contract was entered. In a typical equity swap, one party agrees to pay another party the return on a stock, stock index or basket of stocks in return for a specified interest rate. By entering into an equity index swap, for example, the index receiver can gain exposure to stocks making up the index of securities without actually purchasing those stocks. Equity index swaps involve not only the risk associated with investment in the securities represented in the index, but also the risk that the performance of such securities, including dividends, will not exceed the return on the interest rate that the Fund will be committed to pay.

Total return swaps are contracts in which one party agrees to make payments of the total return from a reference instrument - which may be a single asset, a pool of assets or an index of assets - during a specified period, in return for payments equal to a fixed or floating rate of interest or the total return from another underlying reference instrument. The total return includes appreciation or depreciation on the underlying asset, plus any interest or dividend payments. Payments under the swap are based upon an agreed upon principal amount but, since the principal amount is not exchanged, it represents neither an asset nor a liability to either counterparty, and is referred to as notional. Total return swaps are marked to market daily using different sources, including quotations from counterparties, pricing services, brokers or market makers. The unrealized appreciation or depreciation related to the change in the valuation of the notional amount of the swap is combined with the amount due to the Fund at termination or settlement. The primary risks associated with total return swaps are credit risks (if the counterparty fails to meet its obligations) and market risk (if there is no liquid market for the swap or unfavorable changes occur to the underlying reference instrument).
Periodic payments made or received are recorded as realized gains or losses. At year end, the Statements of Assets and Liabilities reflect, if any, unrealized appreciation or depreciation and accrued periodic payments for swap contracts the Fund may have open at period end. Entering into swap contracts involve, to varying degrees, elements of credit, interest rate and market risk in excess of the amounts recognized on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities. Such risks involve the possibility that there will be no liquid market for these contracts, that the counterparty to the contract may default on its obligation to perform and that there may be unfavorable changes in market conditions or fluctuations in interest rates. Swap contracts outstanding at period end, if any, are listed on the Schedule of Investments. In connection with swap contracts, cash or securities may be segregated as collateral by the Fund's custodian.
There is the risk that the counterparty refuses to continue to enter into swap agreements with the Fund in the future, or requires increased fees, which could impair the Fund's ability to achieve its investment objective. A counterparty may also increase its collateral requirements, which may limit the Fund's ability to use leverage and reduce investment returns. In addition, if the Fund cannot locate a counterparty willing to enter into transactions with the Fund, it will not be able to implement its investment strategy. There were no open swap contracts as of March 31, 2026.
Segment Reporting - The Funds adopted FASB Accounting Standards Update 2023-07, Segment Reporting (Topic 280) - Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures ("ASU 2023-07"). Adoption of this new standard impacted financial statement disclosures only and did not affect the Funds' financial position or the results of its operations. An operating segment is defined in Topic 280 as a component of a public entity that engages in business activities from which it may recognize revenues and incur expenses, has operating results that are regularly reviewed by the public entity's chief operating decision maker (CODM) to make decisions about resources to be allocated to the segment and assess its performance, and has discrete financial information available. The Funds' Principal Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer act as the Funds' CODM. The Funds represent a single operating segment, as the CODM monitors the operating results of each Fund as a whole and the Funds' long-term strategic asset allocation is pre-determined in accordance with the Funds' single investment objective which is executed by the Funds' portfolio manager. The financial information in the form of the Funds' schedule of investments, total returns, expense ratios and changes in net assets (i.e., changes in net assets resulting from operations, subscriptions and redemptions), which are used by the CODM to assess the segment's performance versus the Funds' comparative benchmarks and to make resource allocation decisions for the Funds' single segment, is consistent with that presented within the Funds' financial statements. Segment assets are reflected on the accompanying Statements of Assets and Liabilities as "Total Assets" and significant segment expenses are listed on the accompanying Statements of Operations.

As of September 30, 2025, the fees which were waived and reimbursed to the Fund by RWC Asset Management LLP which may be subject to possible future reimbursement, up to the expense cap in place at the time the expenses were waived and reimbursed to the Fund, to the Adviser were $92,442 expiring in 2028. During the year or period ended March 31, 2026, the Fund did not incur any recoupments and the Predecessor Adviser may not receive recoupments.
The purchases of the Fund's A Class Shares of $1 million or more are not subject to a sales charge at the time of purchase, but generally are subject to a 1.00% Contingent Deferred Sales Charge ("CDSC") if redeemed within 12 months of purchase. This CDSC will be assessed on an amount equal to the lesser of the initial value of the shares redeemed and the value of shares redeemed at the time of redemption.

8. Federal Tax Information:
It is each Fund's intention to continue to qualify as a regulated investment company for Federal income tax purposes and distribute all of its taxable income (including net capital gains). Accordingly, no provision for Federal income taxes is required.
Reclassification of Components of Net Assets - The timing and characterization of certain income and capital gain distributions are determined annually in accordance with Federal tax regulations which may differ from accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. As a result, net investment income (loss) and net realized gain (loss) on investment transactions for the reporting period may differ from distributions during such period. These book/tax differences may be temporary or permanent in nature. The permanent differences primarily consist of reclassification of foreign currency translations, capital gains taxes and investments in Passive Foreign Investment Company ("PFICs").
The tax character of dividends and distributions paid during the years ended September 30, 2025 and 2024 were as follows:
| Ordinary Income | Total | ||||||||
| Redwheel Global Emerging Equity Fund | |||||||||
| 2025 | $ | 2,534,236 | $ | 2,534,236 | |||||
| 2024 | 1,144,004 | 1,144,004 | |||||||
The tax character of dividends and distributions paid during the period or year ended September 30, 2025, November 30, 2024 and November 30, 2023 were as follows:
| Ordinary Income | Return of Capital | Total | |||||||||||

As of September 30, 2025, the components of Distributable Earnings (Accumulated Losses) on a tax basis were as follows:
| Redwheel Next | ||||||||
| Generation | ||||||||
| Redwheel Global | Power | |||||||
| Emerging Equity | Infrastructure | |||||||
| Fund | Fund | |||||||
| Undistributed Ordinary Income | $ | 1,417,673 | $ | - | ||||

| Other Temporary Differences | (2 | ) | (2 | ) | ||||
| Total Distributable Earnings (Accumulated Losses) | $ | 14,652,060 | $ | (29,456,828 | ) | |||
For taxable years beginning after December 22, 2010, a Registered Investment Company within the meaning of the 1940 Act ("RIC") is permitted to carry forward net capital losses to offset capital gains realized in later years, and the losses carried forward retain their original character as either long-term or short-term losses. Losses carried forward under these provisions are as follows:

During the year ended September 30, 2025, the Redwheel Global Emerging Equity Fund utilized $6,823,779 in capital loss carryforward to offset capital gains.
For Federal income tax purposes the difference between Federal tax cost and book cost primarily relates to wash sales and PFIC Mark to Market. The Federal tax cost and aggregate gross unrealized appreciation and depreciation for the investments held (including foreign currency) by the Funds at March 31, 2026, were as follows:

9. Concentration of Shareholders:
At March 31, 2026, the percentage of total shares outstanding, held by shareholders owning 10% or greater of the aggregate total shares outstanding, for each share class, which are comprised of individual shareholders and omnibus accounts that are held on behalf of various individual shareholders was as follows:
|
No. of Shareholders |

|||||
| Redwheel Global Emerging Equity Fund, Institutional Class Shares | 4 | 88% | ||||

| Redwheel Next Generation Power Infrastructure Fund, Institutional Class Shares | 2 | 52% | ||||
| Redwheel Next Generation Power Infrastructure Fund, Class A Shares | 2 | 65% |
10. Concentration of Risks:
As with all mutual funds, there is no guarantee that either Fund will achieve its investment objective. You could lose money by investing in either Fund. A Fund share is not a bank deposit and is not insured or guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation ("FDIC") or any other government agency. The principal risk factors affecting shareholders' investments in the Funds are set forth below.
40
| THE ADVISORS' INNER CIRCLE FUND III |
REDWHEEL FUNDS |
| MARCH 31, 2026 (UNAUDITED) |
Market Risk (Redwheel Next Generation Power Infrastructure Fund) - The prices of and the income generated by the Fund's securities may decline in response to, among other things, investor sentiment, general economic and market conditions, regional or global instability, and currency and interest rate fluctuations. In addition, the impact of any epidemic, pandemic or natural disaster, or widespread fear that such events may occur, could negatively affect the global economy, as well as the economies of individual countries, the financial performance of individual companies and sectors, and the markets in general in significant and unforeseen ways. Any such impact could adversely affect the prices and liquidity of the securities and other instruments in which the Fund invests, which in turn could negatively impact the Fund's performance and cause losses on your investment in the Fund. Market risk may affect a single issuer, an industry, a sector or the equity or bond market as a whole.
Equity Securities Risk - Since each of the Funds purchases equity securities, each Fund is subject to the risk that stock prices may fall over short or extended periods of time. Historically, the equity market has moved in cycles, and the value of the Fund's securities may fluctuate from day to day. Individual companies may report poor results or be negatively affected by industry and/or economic trends and developments. The prices of securities issued by such companies may suffer a decline in response. In addition, the impact of any epidemic, pandemic or natural disaster, or widespread fear that such events may occur, could negatively affect the global economy, as well as the economies of individual countries, the financial performance of individual companies and sectors, and the markets in general in significant and unforeseen ways. Any such impact could adversely affect the prices and liquidity of the securities and other instruments in which the Fund invests, which in turn could negatively impact the Fund's performance and cause losses on your investment in the Fund. These factors contribute to price volatility, which is the principal risk of investing in the Fund.
Renewable Energy Company Risk (Redwheel Next Generation Power Infrastructure Fund) - Because the Fund invests in renewable energy companies, the value of Fund shares may be affected by events that adversely affect that industry, such as technology shifts, short product lifecycles, falling prices and profits, competition and general economic conditions, and may fluctuate more than that of a fund that does not concentrate in sustainable energy solutions companies.
Adviser Risk (Redwheel Next Generation Power Infrastructure Fund) - The Fund may not meet its investment objective or may underperform the market or other mutual funds with similar strategies if the Adviser cannot successfully implement the Fund's investment strategies.
Concentration Risk (Redwheel Next Generation Power Infrastructure Fund) - The Fund's strategy of focusing its investments in Renewable Infrastructure companies means that the performance of the Fund will be closely tied to the performance of the renewable electricity and utility infrastructure industry. The Fund's focus in this industry presents more risk than if it were broadly diversified over numerous industries and sectors of the economy. An inherent risk associated with any investment focus is that the Fund may be adversely affected if one or two of its investments perform poorly.
Energy Infrastructure Industry Risk (Redwheel Next Generation Power Infrastructure Fund) - Companies in the energy infrastructure industry are subject to many risks that can negatively impact the revenues and viability of companies in this industry, including, but not limited to risks associated with companies owning power infrastructure, propane assets, as well as capital markets, terrorism, natural disasters, climate change, operating, regulatory, environmental, supply and demand, and price volatility risks.
Renewable Energy Infrastructure Industry Risk (Redwheel Next Generation Power Infrastructure Fund) - Companies in the renewable energy infrastructure industry are subject to many business, economic, environmental, and regulatory risks that can adversely affect the costs, revenues, profits, and viability of companies in the industry. These risks include, but are not limited to, the following: volatility in competing commodity prices and changes in supply and demand, which may affect the volume of energy commodities transported, processed, stored and or distributed; specific risks associated with companies owning and/or operating renewable energy or utility transmission systems; operating risks including outages, structural and maintenance, impairment and safety problems; changes in the regulatory environment at federal, state and local levels, and in foreign markets; environmental regulation and liability risk; terrorism risk; extreme weather and other natural disasters; and capital markets risk, resulting in a higher capital costs or impacting growth and access to capital.

REDWHEEL FUNDS |
| MARCH 31, 2026 (UNAUDITED) |
New Technology Risk (Redwheel Next Generation Power Infrastructure Fund) - New technologies used in renewable energy have a shorter commercial experience vs traditional energy production technologies. Also, advancements in renewable energy may create disruptive competitive threats to both incumbent technologies, such as centralized electric transmission and distribution networks; in progressively more efficient or lower cost versions of existing renewable technology, or possibly advancements or innovations in competing renewable technology.
ESG Risk (Redwheel Next Generation Power Infrastructure Fund) - A company's ESG score is one factor considered by the Adviser when determining whether to buy or sell a security. The Fund may purchase and hold securities that present ESG risks. The evaluation of ESG factors is often subjective and the Adviser may not identify or evaluate every relevant ESG factor with respect to every investment. As a result, the ESG evaluation performed by the Adviser may differ from the evaluations made by other investment advisers and may not reflect the beliefs or values of any particular investor. In addition, the evaluation of ESG factors and implementation of ESG-related investment restrictions (i.e., screens) rely on the availability of timely, complete and accurate ESG data being reported by issuers and/or third-party research providers, and ESG-related data is often based on estimates or assumptions. The Adviser's ability to evaluate and assess ESG factors and the successful implementation of ESG-related investment restrictions may be limited or compromised to the extent relevant data is unavailable or inaccurate. The integration of ESG considerations may also cause the Fund to perform differently compared to accounts that do not integrate ESG considerations. For example, ESG considerations may result in the Fund foregoing opportunities to buy certain securities when it might otherwise be advantageous to do so. Further, an increased focus on ESG or sustainability investing in recent years may have led to increased valuations of certain issuers with higher ESG profiles. A reversal of that trend could result in losses with respect to investments in such issuers.
Non-Diversified Fund Risk (Redwheel Next Generation Power Infrastructure Fund) - The Fund is classified as "non-diversified," which means it may invest a larger percentage of its assets in a smaller number of issuers than a diversified fund. To the extent that the Fund invests its assets in a smaller number of issuers, the Fund will be more susceptible to negative events affecting those issuers than a diversified fund. Accordingly, the limited number of issuers in which the Fund invests means that each issuer has a proportionately greater impact on the Fund's returns. However, the Fund intends to satisfy the asset diversification requirements for qualifying as a regulated investment company ("RIC") under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code").
Foreign Company Risk - Investing in foreign companies, including direct investments and investments through depositary receipts, poses additional risks since political and economic events unique to a country or region will affect those markets and their issuers. These risks will not necessarily affect the U.S. economy or similar issuers located in the United States. Securities of foreign companies may not be registered with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") and foreign companies are generally not subject to the regulatory controls 4 imposed on U.S. issuers and, as a consequence, there is generally less publicly available information about foreign securities than is available about domestic securities. Income from foreign securities owned by the Fund may be reduced by a withholding tax at the source, which tax would reduce income received from the securities comprising the portfolio. Foreign securities may also be more difficult to value than securities of U.S. issuers. In addition, periodic U.S. Government restrictions on investments in issuers from certain foreign countries may require the Fund to sell such investments at inopportune times, which could result in losses to the Fund. While depositary receipts provide an alternative to directly purchasing the underlying foreign securities in their respective national markets and currencies, investments in depositary receipts continue to be subject to many of the risks associated with investing directly in foreign securities.
42
| THE ADVISORS' INNER CIRCLE FUND III |
REDWHEEL FUNDS |
| MARCH 31, 2026 (UNAUDITED) |
ADR Risk (Redwheel Next Generation Power Infrastructure Fund) - Investments in ADRs may be less liquid and more volatile than the underlying securities in their primary trading market. If a depositary receipt is denominated in a different currency than its underlying securities, the Fund will be subject to the currency risk of both the investment in the depositary receipt and the underlying security. Holders of depositary receipts may have limited or no rights to take action with respect to the underlying securities or to compel the issuer of the receipts to take action. The prices of depositary receipts may differ from the prices of securities upon which they are based.
Emerging and Frontier Markets Securities Risk - A Fund's investments in emerging or frontier markets securities are considered speculative and subject to heightened risks in addition to the general risks of investing in foreign securities. Unlike more established markets, emerging and frontier markets may have governments that are less stable, markets that are less liquid and economies that are less developed. In addition, the securities markets of emerging and frontier market countries may consist of companies with smaller market capitalizations and may suffer periods of relative illiquidity; significant price volatility; restrictions on foreign investment; and possible restrictions on repatriation of investment income and capital. Furthermore, foreign investors may be required to register the proceeds of sales, and future economic or political crises could lead to price controls, forced mergers, expropriation or confiscatory taxation, seizure, nationalization or creation of government monopolies.
Large-Cap Company Risk (Redwheel Next Generation Power Infrastructure Fund) - If valuations of large capitalization companies appear to be greatly out of proportion to the valuations of small or medium capitalization companies, investors may migrate to the stocks of small and medium-sized companies. The risk that larger, more established companies may be unable to respond quickly to new competitive challenges such as changes in technology and consumer tastes. Larger companies also may not be able to attain the high growth rates of successful smaller companies.
Small-Cap and Mid-Cap Capitalization Company Risk - The small- and mid-capitalization companies in which each of the Funds may invest may be more vulnerable to adverse business or economic events than larger, more established companies. In particular, investments in these small and medium-sized companies may pose additional risks, including liquidity risk, because these companies may have limited product lines, markets and financial resources, and may depend upon a relatively small management group. Therefore, small- and mid-capitalization stocks may be more volatile than those of larger companies. These securities may be traded over-the-counter or listed on an exchange.
Debt Securities Risk (Redwheel Next Generation Power Infrastructure Fund) - The prices of the Fund's fixed-income securities respond to economic developments, particularly interest rate changes, as well as to perceptions about the creditworthiness of individual issuers, including governments and their agencies. Generally, the Fund's fixed-income securities will decrease in value if interest rates rise and vice versa. In a low interest rate environment, risks associated with rising rates are heightened. Declines in dealer market-making capacity as a result of structural or regulatory changes could decrease liquidity and/or increase volatility in the fixed-income markets.

REDWHEEL FUNDS |
| MARCH 31, 2026 (UNAUDITED) |
Government-Sponsored Entities Risk (Redwheel Next Generation Power Infrastructure Fund) - The Fund may invest in securities issued or guaranteed by government-sponsored entities. However, these securities may not be guaranteed or insured by the U.S. government and may only be supported by the credit of the issuing agency.
Foreign Currency Risk - (Redwheel Global Emerging Equity Fund) As a result of the Funds' investments in securities denominated in, and/or receiving revenues in, foreign currencies, the Funds will be subject to currency risk. Currency risk is the risk that foreign currencies will decline in value relative to the U.S. dollar or, in the case of hedged positions, that the U.S. dollar will decline in value relative to the currency hedged. In either event, the dollar value of an investment in the Funds would be adversely affected.
REIT Risk (Redwheel Next Generation Power Infrastructure Fund) - REITs are pooled investment vehicles that own, and usually operate, income-producing real estate. REITs are susceptible to the risks associated with direct ownership of real estate, such as the following: declines in property values; increases in property taxes, operating expenses, interest rates or competition; overbuilding; zoning changes; and losses from casualty or condemnation. REITs typically incur fees that are separate from those of the Fund. Accordingly, the Fund's investments in REITs will result in the layering of expenses such that shareholders will indirectly bear a proportionate share of the REITs' operating expenses, in addition to paying Fund expenses. REIT operating expenses are not reflected in the fee table and example in this prospectus.
Risks of Investing In Other Investment Companies and RIC Compliance Risk - To the extent that a Fund invests in other investment companies, such as open-end funds, closed-end funds and ETFs, the Fund will be subject to substantially the same risks as those associated with the direct ownership of the securities held by such other investment companies. As a shareholder of another investment company, the Fund relies on that investment company to achieve its investment objective. If the investment company fails to achieve its objective, the value of the Fund's investment could decline, which could adversely affect the Fund's performance. By investing in another investment company, Fund shareholders indirectly bear the Fund's proportionate share of the fees and expenses of the other investment company, in addition to the fees and expenses that Fund shareholders directly bear in connection with the Fund's own operations.
Because ETFs and certain closed-end funds are listed on national stock exchanges and are traded like stocks listed on an exchange, their shares potentially may trade at a discount or premium. Investments in ETFs and certain closed-end funds are also subject to brokerage and other trading costs, which could result in greater expenses to the Fund. In addition, because the value of ETF and certain closed-end fund shares depends on the demand in the market, the Adviser may not be able to liquidate the Fund's holdings at the most optimal time, which could adversely affect Fund performance.
For any taxable year the Fund fails to qualify as a RIC, the Fund's taxable income will be subject to federal income tax at regular corporate rates. The resulting increase to the Fund's expenses will reduce its performance and its income available for distribution to shareholders.
Rights and Warrants Risk - Investments in rights or warrants by a Fund involve the risk of loss of the purchase value of a right or warrant if the right to subscribe to additional shares is not exercised prior to the right's or warrant's expiration. Also, the purchase of rights and/or warrants involves the risk that the effective price paid for the right and/or warrant added to the subscription price of the underlying security may exceed the market price of the underlying security in instances such as those where there is no movement in the price of the underlying security.

| THE ADVISORS' INNER CIRCLE FUND III |
REDWHEEL FUNDS |
| MARCH 31, 2026 (UNAUDITED) |
Initial Public Offering ("IPO") Risk (Redwheel Next Generation Power Infrastructure Fund) - The market value of shares issued in an IPO may fluctuate considerably due to factors such as the absence of a prior public market, unseasoned trading, the small number of shares available for trading and limited information about a company's business model, quality of management, earnings growth potential, and other criteria used to evaluate its investment prospects. Accordingly, investments in IPO shares involve greater risks than investments in shares of companies that have traded publicly on an exchange for extended periods of time. Investments in IPO shares may also involve high transaction costs, and are subject to market risk and liquidity risk, which are described elsewhere in this section.
Cybersecurity Risk (Redwheel Next Generation Power Infrastructure Fund) - The Fund and its service providers may experience disruptions that arise from breaches in cyber security, human error, processing and communications errors, counterparty or third-party errors, technology or systems failures, any of which may have an adverse impact on the Fund. Failures or breaches of the electronic systems of the Fund, the Fund's adviser, distributor, and other service providers, or the issuers of securities in which the Fund invests have the ability to cause disruptions and negatively impact the Fund's operations, potentially resulting in financial losses to the Fund and its shareholders.
Liquidity Risk - Certain securities may be difficult or impossible to sell at the time and the price that a Fund would like. The Fund may have to accept a lower price to sell a security, sell other securities to raise cash, or give up an investment opportunity, any of which could have a negative effect on Fund management or performance.
Credit Risk (Redwheel Next Generation Power Infrastructure Fund) - The risk that the issuer of a security or the counterparty to a contract will default or otherwise become unable to honor a financial obligation. A decline in the credit rating of an individual security held by the Fund may have an adverse impact on its price. Rating agencies might not always change their credit rating on an issuer or security in a timely manner to reflect events that could affect the issuer's ability to make timely payments on its obligations.
Convertible Securities Risk - The value of a convertible security is influenced by changes in interest rates (with investment value declining as interest rates increase and increasing as interest rates decline) and the credit standing of the issuer. The price of a convertible security will also normally vary in some proportion to changes in the price of the underlying common stock because of the conversion or exercise feature.
U.S. Government Securities Risk (Redwheel Next Generation Power Infrastructure Fund) - Although U.S. Government securities are considered to be among the safest investments, they are not guaranteed against price movements due to changing interest rates. Obligations issued by some U.S. Government agencies are backed by the U.S. Treasury, while others are backed solely by the ability of the agency to borrow from the U.S. Treasury or by the agency's own resources.
Preferred Stock Risk (Redwheel Next Generation Power Infrastructure Fund) - Preferred stock is a type of stock that generally pays dividends at a specified rate and that has preference over common stock in the payment of dividends and the liquidation of assets. Preferred stock does not ordinarily carry voting rights. The price of a preferred stock is generally determined by earnings, type of products or services, projected growth rates, experience of management, liquidity, and general market conditions of the markets on which the stock trades. The most significant risks associated with investments in preferred stock include issuer risk, market risk and interest rate risk (i.e., the risk of losses attributable to changes in interest rates).

| MARCH 31, 2026 (UNAUDITED) |
Tax Risk (Redwheel Next Generation Power Infrastructure Fund) - Income from certain exchange traded products that invest in commodities and other non-security based asset classes, as well as direct investments in such alternative asset classes such as gold, may not be qualifying income for purposes of the qualifying income test that must be met by the Fund in order to qualify as a RIC under Subchapter M of the Code. The Fund will seek to restrict its income from direct investments in such alternative investments that do not generate qualifying income to a maximum of 10% of its gross income (when combined with its other investments that produce non-qualifying income) to comply with certain qualifying income tests necessary for the Fund to qualify as a RIC under the Code. However, there is no guarantee that the Fund will be successful in this regard. If the Fund fails to qualify as a RIC and to avail itself of certain relief provisions, it would be subject to tax at the regular corporate rate without any deduction for distributions to shareholders, and its distributions would generally be taxable as dividends. Please see the Fund's Statement of Additional Information (the "SAI") for a more detailed discussion, including the availability of certain relief provisions for certain failures by the Fund to qualify as a RIC. The tax treatment of certain commodity investments and other non-security based instruments may be affected by future regulatory or legislative changes that could affect the character, timing and/or amount of the Fund's taxable income or gains and distributions. The Fund's pursuit of its investment objective will potentially be limited by the Fund's intention to qualify for treatment as a RIC. The Fund can make certain investments, the treatment of which is unclear under the Code and could adversely affect the Fund's ability to qualify as a RIC.
Derivatives Risk - The Redwheel Next Generation Powers Infrastructure Fund's use of options, equity-linked notes and swaps, futures contracts, and hedging is subject to correlation risk, leverage risk, liquidity risk, and market risk. The Redwheel Next Generation Powers Infrastructure Fund's use of equity-linked notes and swaps for all purposes, including speculative purposes, is subject to market risk, correlation risk, credit risk, valuation risk, and liquidity risk. The Redwheel Next Generation Powers Infrastructure Fund's use of swaps also is subject to leverage risk.
Correlation risk is the risk that changes in the value of the derivative may not correlate perfectly or at all with the underlying asset, rate, or index.
Leverage risk is the risk that the use of leverage may amplify the effects of market volatility on the Fund's share price and also may cause the Fund to liquidate portfolio positions when it would not be advantageous to do so in order to satisfy its obligations.
Market risk is the risk that the market value of an investment may move up and down, sometimes rapidly and unpredictably (market risk is described in greater detail elsewhere in this section).
Credit risk is the risk that the counterparty to a derivative contract will default or otherwise become unable to honor a financial obligation (credit risk is described in greater detail elsewhere in this section).
Valuation risk is the risk that the derivative may be difficult to value and/or valued incorrectly. Moreover, certain derivative instruments can magnify the extent of losses incurred due to changes in the market value of the securities to which these instruments relate.
Each of these risks could cause the Fund to lose more than the principal amount invested in a derivative instrument. Some derivatives have the potential for unlimited loss, regardless of the size of the Fund's initial investment. Both U.S. and non-U.S. regulators have adopted and implemented regulations governing derivatives markets, the ultimate impact of which remains unclear.

Futures Contracts Risk - The price of a futures contract may change rapidly in response to changes in the markets and the general economic environment. Futures investments may result in investment exposures that are greater than their cost would suggest, meaning that a small investment in futures could have a large potential effect on the performance of the Fund. Generally, the purchase of a futures contract will increase the Fund's exposure to the volatility of the underlying asset while the value of a futures contract that is sold will perform inversely to the underlying asset. The successful use of futures by the Fund will be subject to the Adviser's ability to predict correctly movements in the direction of relevant markets, as well as interest rates, currency exchange rates and other economic factors.
Options Risk - Purchasing and writing put and call options are highly specialized activities and entail greater than ordinary investment risks. The Fund may not fully benefit from or may lose money on an option if changes in its value do not correspond as anticipated to changes in the value of the underlying securities. If the Fund is not able to sell an option held in its portfolio, it would have to exercise the option to realize any profit and would incur transaction costs upon the purchase or sale of the underlying securities. Ownership of options involves the payment of premiums, which may adversely affect the Fund's performance. To the extent that the Fund invests in over-the-counter options, the Fund may be exposed to counterparty risk.
Swap Agreements Risk - A swap is a derivative that provides leverage, allowing the Fund to obtain exposure to an underlying asset, reference rate or index in an amount that is greater than the amount the Fund has invested. By using swap agreements, the Fund is exposed to counterparty credit risk. The use of swap agreements could cause the Fund to be more volatile, resulting in larger gains or losses in response to changes in the values of the assets, reference rates or indices underlying the swap agreements than if the Fund had made direct investments in such assets, reference rates or indices.
Hedging Risk - It is not possible to hedge fully or perfectly against any risk. While hedging can reduce losses, it can also reduce or eliminate gains or cause losses if the market moves in a different manner than anticipated by the Fund or if the cost of the derivative outweighs the benefit of the hedge. Hedging also involves the risk that changes in the value of the derivative will not match those of the holdings being hedged as expected by the Fund, in which case any losses on the holdings being hedged may not be reduced or may be increased.
Geographic Focus Risk (Redwheel Global Emerging Equity Fund) - To the extent that it focuses its investments in a particular country or geographic region, the Fund may be more susceptible to economic, political, regulatory or other events or conditions affecting issuers and countries within that country or geographic region. As a result, the Fund may be subject to greater price volatility and risk of loss than a fund holding more geographically diverse investments.
Risk of Investing in China (Redwheel Global Emerging Equity Fund) - The Chinese economy is generally considered an emerging market and can be significantly affected by economic and political conditions and policy in China and surrounding Asian countries. A relatively small number of Chinese companies represents a large portion of China's total market and thus may be more sensitive to adverse political or economic circumstances and market movements. The economy of China differs, often unfavorably, from the U.S. economy in such respects as structure, general development, government involvement, wealth distribution, rate of inflation, growth rate, allocation of resources and capital reinvestment, among others. Under China's political and economic system, the central government has historically exercised substantial control over virtually every sector of the Chinese economy through administrative regulation and/or state ownership. In addition, expropriation, including nationalization, confiscatory taxation, political, economic or social instability or other developments could adversely affect and significantly diminish the values of the Chinese companies in which the Fund invests.

Investment Style Risk (Redwheel Global Emerging Equity Fund) - The Fund pursues a "growth style" of investing, meaning that the Fund invests in equity securities of companies that the Adviser believes will have above-average rates of earnings growth and which, therefore, may experience above-average increases in stock prices. Over time, a growth investing style may go in and out of favor, causing the Fund to sometimes underperform other equity funds that use differing investing styles.
Private Placements Risk (Redwheel Global Emerging Equity Fund) - Investment in privately placed securities may be less liquid than investments in publicly traded securities. Although these securities may be resold in privately negotiated transactions, the prices realized from these sales could be less than those originally paid by the Fund or less than what may be considered the fair value of such securities. Further, companies whose securities are not publicly traded may not be subject to the disclosure and other investor protection requirements that might be applicable if their securities were publicly traded.
Stock Connect Investing Risk (Redwheel Global Emerging Equity Fund) - Trading through Stock Connect is subject to a number of restrictions that may affect the Fund's investments and returns, including a daily quota that limits the maximum net purchases under Stock Connect each day. In addition, investments made through Stock Connect are subject to relatively untested trading, clearance and settlement procedures. Moreover, A-Shares purchased through Stock Connect generally may only be sold or otherwise transferred through Stock Connect. The Fund's investments in A-Shares purchased through Stock Connect are generally subject to Chinese securities regulations and listing rules. While overseas investors currently are exempt from paying capital gains or value added taxes on income and gains from investments in A-Shares purchased through Stock Connect, these tax rules could be changed, which could result in unexpected tax liabilities for the Fund. Stock Connect operates only on days when both the Chinese and Hong Kong markets are open for trading and when banks in both markets are open on the corresponding settlement days. Therefore, the Fund may be subject to the risk of price fluctuations of A-Shares when Stock Connect is not trading.
Shareholder Concentration Risk - A large percentage of the Fund's shares may be held by a small number of shareholders at any time. During any such time, a large redemption by one or more of these shareholders could materially increase the Fund's transaction costs, which would negatively impact the Fund's performance and could cause adverse tax consequences for the remaining shareholders of the Fund.
11. Indemnifications:
In the normal course of business, each Fund enters into contracts that provide general indemnifications. Each Fund's maximum exposure under these arrangements is dependent on future claims that may be made against each Fund and, therefore, cannot be established; however, based on experience, the risk of loss from such claim is considered remote.

12. Recent Accounting Pronouncements:
The Funds adopted FASB Accounting Standards Update 2023-09 ("ASU 2023-09"), Income Taxes (Topic 740) Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures, which amends quantitative and qualitative income tax disclosure requirements in order to increase disclosure consistency, bifurcate income tax information by jurisdiction and remove information that is no longer beneficial. Adoption of ASU 2023-09 impacted financial statement disclosures only and did not affect any Funds' financial position or the results of its operations.
13. Subsequent Events:
The Funds have evaluated the need for additional disclosures and/or adjustments resulting from subsequent events through the date the financial statements were issued. Based on this evaluation, no additional disclosures and/or adjustments were required to the financial statements.
