Portfolio Performance Review
For the twelve months ended October 31, 2025, the Acadian Emerging Markets Portfolio I Class returned 25.39% (on a NAV basis), versus 28.69% for the MSCI Emerging Markets Index, a widely followed emerging markets benchmark.

Significant country overweight positions during the period were United Arab Emirates, Taiwan, and Hungary. The portfolio was generally underweighted relative to the benchmark in India, South Africa, and Kuwait. At the sector level, the portfolio was focused on Communication Services, Information Technology, and Financials, while Materials, Consumer Staples, and Consumer Discretionary were the greatest underweights.

(e)(1) The Trust's Audit Committee has adopted and the Board of Trustees has ratified an Audit and Non-Audit Services Pre-Approval Policy (the "Policy"), which sets forth the procedures and the conditions pursuant to which services proposed to be performed by the independent auditor of the Funds may be pre-approved.
The Policy provides that all requests or applications for proposed services to be provided by the independent auditor must be submitted to the Registrant's Chief Financial Officer ("CFO") and must include a detailed description of the services proposed to be rendered. The CFO will determine whether such services:
| (1) | require specific pre-approval; |
| (2) | are included within the list of services that have received the general pre-approval of the Audit Committee pursuant to the Policy; or |
| (3) | have been previously pre-approved in connection with the independent auditor's annual engagement letter for the applicable year or otherwise. In any instance where services require pre-approval, the Audit Committee will consider whether such services are consistent with SEC's rules and whether the provision of such services would impair the auditor's independence. |
Requests or applications to provide services that require specific pre-approval by the Audit Committee will be submitted to the Audit Committee by the CFO. The Audit Committee will be informed by the CFO on a quarterly basis of all services rendered by the independent auditor. The Audit Committee has delegated specific pre-approval authority to either the Audit Committee Chair or financial expert, provided that the estimated fee for any such proposed pre-approved service does not exceed $100,000 and any pre-approval decisions are reported to the Audit Committee at its next regularly-scheduled meeting.
Services that have received the general pre-approval of the Audit Committee are identified and described in the Policy. In addition, the Policy sets forth a maximum fee per engagement with respect to each identified service that has received general pre-approval.
All services to be provided by the independent auditor shall be provided pursuant to a signed written engagement letter with the Registrant, the investment adviser, or applicable control affiliate (except that matters as to which an engagement letter would be impractical because of timing issues or because the matter is small may not be the subject of an engagement letter) that sets forth both the services to be provided by the independent auditor and the total fees to be paid to the independent auditor for those services.
In addition, the Audit Committee has determined to take additional measures on an annual basis to meet the Audit Committee's responsibility to oversee the work of the independent auditor and to assure the auditor's independence from the Registrant, such as (a) reviewing a formal written statement from the independent auditor delineating all relationships between the independent auditor and the Registrant, and (b) discussing with the independent auditor the independent auditor's methods and procedures for ensuring independence.

(h) During the past fiscal year, all non-audit services provided by the Registrant's principal accountant to either the Registrant's investment adviser or to any entity controlling, controlled by, or under common control with the Registrant's investment adviser that provides ongoing services to the Registrant were pre-approved by the Audit Committee of Registrant's Board of Trustees. Included in the Audit Committee's pre-approval of these non-audit service were the review and consideration as to whether the provision of these non-audit services is compatible with maintaining the principal accountant's independence.
(i) Not Applicable. The Registrant has not retained, for the preparation of the audit report on the financial statements included in the Form N-CSR, a registered public accounting firm that has a branch or office that is located in a foreign jurisdiction and that the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (the "PCAOB") has determined that the PCAOB is unable to inspect or investigate completely because of a position taken by an authority in the foreign jurisdiction.
(j) Not applicable. The Registrant is not a "foreign issuer," as defined in 17 CFR § 240.3b-4.

ACADIAN EMERGING MARKETS PORTFOLIO OCTOBER 31, 2025 |
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
1. Organization:
The Advisors' Inner Circle Fund (the "Trust") is organized as a Massachusetts business trust under an Amended and Restated Agreement and Declaration of Trust dated February 18, 1997. The Trust is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the "1940 Act"), as an open-end management investment company with 27 funds. The financial statements herein are those of the Acadian Emerging Markets Portfolio ("Portfolio"), a diversified portfolio. The investment objective of the Portfolio is to seek long-term capital appreciation by investing primarily in common stocks of emerging market country issuers. The financial statements of the remaining portfolios are presented separately. The assets of each portfolio are segregated, and a shareholder's interest is limited to the portfolio in which shares are held.
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 Portfolio. The Portfolio is an investment company and therefore applies 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), 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 on valuation date (or at approximately 4:00 pm ET if a security's primary exchange is normally open at that time), 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.
Securities for which market prices are not "readily available" are valued in accordance with fair value procedures (the "Fair Value Procedures") established by Acadian Asset Management LLC (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.
29
| THE ADVISORS' INNER CIRCLE FUND |
ACADIAN EMERGING MARKETS PORTFOLIO OCTOBER 31, 2025 |
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 Portfolio calculates its net asset values. The closing prices of such securities may no longer reflect their market value at the time the Portfolio 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 Acadian Emerging Markets Portfolio calculates its net asset value. A Significant Event may relate to a single issuer or to an entire market sector. If the Adviser becomes aware of a Significant Event that has occurred with respect to a security or group of securities after the closing of the exchange or market on which the security or securities principally trade, but before the time at which the Portfolio calculates its net asset value, it may request that a Committee meeting be called. As of October 31, 2025, the total market value of securities in the Portfolio, valued in accordance with fair value procedures, was $1,126,834,704 or 87% of Net Assets.
The Portfolio uses 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 Portfolio 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. markets 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 Portfolio values its non-U.S. securities that exceed the applicable "confidence interval" based upon the fair values provided by ICE. In such event, it is not necessary to hold a Committee meeting. In the event that the Adviser believes that the fair values provided by ICE are not reliable, the Adviser contacts SEI Investments Global Fund Services (the "Administrator") and may request that a meeting of the Committee be held.
30
| THE ADVISORS' INNER CIRCLE FUND |
ACADIAN EMERGING MARKETS PORTFOLIO OCTOBER 31, 2025 |
If a local market in which the Portfolio own securities is closed for one or more days, the Portfolio 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 the authoritative guidance on fair value measurements and disclosure under U.S. GAAP, the Portfolio discloses fair value of their 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 Portfolio has the ability to access at the measurement date; |
| ● | Level 2 - Other significant observable inputs (including 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 the Adviser's pricing procedures, 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). |
Investments are classified within the level of the lowest significant input considered in determining fair value. Investments classified within Level 3 whose fair value measurement considers several inputs may include Level 1 or Level 2 inputs as components of the overall fair value measurement.
The inputs or methodology used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of risk associated with investing in those securities.
For details of the investment classification, refer to the Schedule of Investments.

ACADIAN EMERGING MARKETS PORTFOLIO OCTOBER 31, 2025 |
Federal Income Taxes - It is the Portfolio's intention to continue 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 and by distributing to shareholders all of their net investment income and realized gains. Accordingly, no provisions for Federal income taxes have been made in the financial statements.
The Portfolio evaluates tax positions taken or expected to be taken in the course of preparing the Portfolio's 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 year. The Portfolio 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., the last 3 open tax year ends and current tax year, as applicable), on-going analysis of and changes to tax laws, regulations and interpretations thereof.
As of and during the year ended October 31, 2025, the Portfolio did not have a liability for any unrecognized tax benefits. The Portfolio recognizes interest and penalties, if any, related to unrecognized tax benefits as income tax expense in the Statement of Operations. During the year ended October 31, 2025, the Portfolio did not incur any interest or penalties.
Withholding taxes on foreign dividends have been provided for in accordance with the Portfolio's understanding of the applicable country's tax rules and rates. The Portfolio or its agent file withholding tax reclaims in certain jurisdictions to recover certain amounts previously withheld. The Portfolio 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.
Security Transactions and Investment Income - Security transactions are accounted for on trade date. Costs used in determining realized gains or losses on the sale of investment securities are based on the specific identification method. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date. Certain dividends from foreign securities will be recorded as soon as the Portfolio is informed of the dividend if such information is obtained subsequent to the ex-dividend date. Interest income is recognized on an accrual basis from settlement date. Discounts and premiums on securities purchased are accreted and amortized using the scientific interest method, which approximates the effective interest method.

Foreign Taxes - The Portfolio 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 Portfolio accrues and applies such taxes to net investment income, net realized gains and net unrealized gains as income and/or capital gains earned.
Foreign Currency Translation - The books and records of the Portfolio 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 Portfolio does not isolate that portion of realized or unrealized gains and losses resulting from changes in foreign exchange rates from fluctuations arising from changes in the market prices of securities. These gains and losses are included in net realized and unrealized gains and losses on investments on the Statement of Operations. Net realized and unrealized gains and losses on foreign currency transactions represent net foreign exchange gains or losses from foreign currency exchange contracts, disposition of foreign currencies, currency gains or losses realized between trade and settlement dates on securities transactions and the difference between the amount of investment income and foreign withholding taxes recorded on the Portfolio's books and the U.S. dollar equivalent amounts actually received or paid.
Forward Foreign Currency Exchange Contracts - The Portfolio may enter into forward foreign currency exchange contracts to protect the value of securities held and related receivables and payables against changes in future foreign exchange rates. A forward currency contract is an agreement between two parties to buy and sell currency at a set price on a future date. The market value of the contract will fluctuate with changes in currency exchange rates. The contract is marked-to-market daily using the current forward rate and the change in market value is recorded by the Portfolio as unrealized gain or loss. The Portfolio recognizes realized gains or losses when the contract is closed, equal to the difference between the value of the contract at the time it was opened and the value at the time it was closed. Any realized or unrealized gains (loss) during the period are presented on the Statement of Operations. Risks may arise from unanticipated movements in the value of a foreign currency relative to the U.S. dollar. Risks may also arise upon entering into these contracts from the potential inability of counterparties to meet the terms of their contracts and are generally limited to the amount of unrealized gain on the contracts at the date of default.
Expenses - Most expenses of the Trust can be directly attributed to a particular fund. Expenses that 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.
33
| THE ADVISORS' INNER CIRCLE FUND |
ACADIAN EMERGING MARKETS PORTFOLIO OCTOBER 31, 2025 |
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 net assets.
Dividends and Distributions to Shareholders - The Portfolio distributes substantially all of its net investment income, if any, annually. Any net realized capital gains will be distributed at least annually. All distributions are recorded on ex-dividend date.
Redemption Fees - The Portfolio retains a redemption fee of 2.00% on redemptions of capital shares if redeemed within 30 days of purchase. The redemption fee is recorded as an increase to paid-in capital. The redemption fees retained by the Portfolio are reported on the Statements of Changes in Net Assets.
Segment Reporting - In this reporting period, the Portfolio adopted FASB Accounting Standards Update 2023-07, Segment Reporting (Topic 280) - Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures ("ASU 2023-07"). Adoption of the new standard impacted financial statement disclosures only and did not affect the Portfolio's 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 management of the Portfolio's Adviser acts as the Portfolio's CODM. The Portfolio represents a single operating segment, as the CODM monitors the operating results of the Portfolio as a whole and the Portfolio's long-term strategic asset allocation is pre-determined in accordance with the Portfolio's single investment objective which is executed by the Portfolio's portfolio managers. The financial information in the form of the Portfolio's 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 Portfolio's comparative benchmarks and to make resource allocation decisions for the Portfolio's single segment, is consistent with that presented within the Portfolio's financial statements. Segment assets are reflected on the accompanying Statement of Assets and Liabilities as "Total Assets" and significant segment expenses are listed on the accompanying Statement of Operations.
3. Transactions with Affiliates:
Certain officers of the Trust are also officers of the Administrator and/or SEI Investments Distribution Co. (the "Distributor"). Such officers are paid no fees by the Trust, other than the Chief Compliance Officer ("CCO") as described below, for serving as officers of the Trust.
34
| THE ADVISORS' INNER CIRCLE FUND |
ACADIAN EMERGING MARKETS PORTFOLIO OCTOBER 31, 2025 |
A portion of the services provided by the CCO and his staff, who are employees of the Administrator, are paid for by the Trust as incurred. The services include regulatory oversight of the Trust's Advisors and service providers as required by SEC regulations. The CCO's services and fees have been approved by and are reviewed by the Board.
4. Administration, Distribution, Shareholder Servicing, Transfer Agent and Custodian Agreements:
The Portfolio and the Administrator are parties to an Administration Agreement, under which the Administrator provides administrative services to the Portfolio. For these services, the Administrator is paid an asset based fee, which will vary depending on the number of share classes and the average daily net assets of the Portfolio. For the year ended October 31, 2025, the Portfolio paid $736,534 for these services.
The Trust and the Distributor are parties to a Distribution Agreement. The Distributor receives no fees under the agreement.
The Portfolio has adopted a shareholder servicing plan under which a shareholder servicing fee of up to 0.25% of average daily net assets of the Investor Class Shares and up to 0.10% of average daily net assets of the Y Class Shares will be paid to financial intermediaries. Certain brokers, dealers, banks, trust companies and other financial representatives may receive compensation from the Portfolio for providing a variety of services, including record keeping and transaction processing. Such fees are paid by the Portfolio to the extent that the number of accounts serviced by the financial representative multiplied by the account fee charged by the Portfolio's transfer agent would not exceed the amount that would have been charged had the accounts serviced by the financial representative been registered directly through the transfer agent. All fees in excess of this amount are paid by the Adviser, an affiliate of Old Mutual (US) Holdings, Inc. These fees are disclosed on the Statement of Operations as Shareholder Servicing Fees.
SS&C Global Investor & Distribution Solutions, Inc. (the "Transfer Agent") serves as the transfer agent and dividend disbursing agent for the Portfolio under a transfer agency agreement.
For the year ended October 31, 2025, the Portfolio earned cash management credits of $29,830, which were used to offset transfer agent expenses. This amount is labeled as "Fees Paid Indirectly" on the Statement of Operations.
U.S. Bank, N.A. serves as custodian (the "Custodian") for the Portfolio. The Custodian plays no role in determining the investment policies of the Portfolio or which securities are to be purchased or sold by the Portfolio.

ACADIAN EMERGING MARKETS PORTFOLIO OCTOBER 31, 2025 |
5. Investment Advisory Agreement:
Under the terms of the investment advisory agreement the Adviser provides investment advisory services to the Portfolio at a fee calculated at an annual rate of 0.90% of the Portfolio's average daily net assets.
The Adviser, as of January 1, 2024, has contractually agreed to waive or reduce fees and reimburse expenses in order to keep net operating expenses (but excluding any class specific expenses (including distribution and service (12b-1) fees and shareholder servicing fees), interest, taxes, brokerage commissions, acquired fund fees and expenses, fees and expenses incurred in connection with tax reclaim recovery services, other expenditures which are capitalized in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and other non-routine expenses not incurred in the ordinary course of said Portfolio's business (including litigation expenses)) from exceeding 1.10% of the average daily net assets of each of the Portfolio's share classes until March 1, 2026. In addition, the Adviser may receive from the Portfolio the difference between the total annual fund operating expenses (not including excluded expenses) and the contractual expense limit to recoup all or a portion of its prior fee waivers or expense reimbursements made during the three-year period preceding the date of the recoupment if at any point total annual fund operating expenses (not including excluded expenses) are below the contractual expense limit (i) at the time of the fee waiver or expense payment, and (ii) at the time of the reimbursement. This agreement may be terminated: (i) by the Trust, for any reason at any time, or (ii) by the Adviser, for any reason, upon ninety (90) days' prior written notice to the Trust, effective as of the close of business on March 1, 2026. This agreement terminates automatically upon the termination of the advisory agreement. The amounts subject to recapture by the Adviser are $233,104 expiring in 2027 and $128,709 expiring in 2028. During the year ended October 31, 2025, the Portfolio did not recapture any previously waived fees.
6. Investment Transactions:
For the year ended October 31, 2025, the purchases of $902,734,747 and sales of $812,122,828 of investment securities other than long-term U.S. Government and short-term securities. There were no purchases or sales of long-term U.S. Government securities.

8. Line of Credit:
The Portfolio entered into an agreement which enables it to participate in a $50 million unsecured committed revolving line of credit with MUFG Union Bank N.A., which is set to expire July 27, 2026. The proceeds from the borrowings shall be used to finance the Portfolio's short term general working capital requirements, including the funding of shareholder redemptions. Interest is charged to the Portfolio based on their borrowings at the current reference rate. For the year ended October 31, 2025, the Portfolio had average borrowings of $7,092,580 and a maximum amount borrowed of $36,076,000 over a period of 37 days at a weighted average interest rate of 7.49%. Interest accrued on the borrowings during the period was $54,405. As of October 31, 2025, the Portfolio did not have any borrowings outstanding.
9. Federal Tax Information:
The amount and character of income and capital gain distributions to be paid, if any, are determined in accordance with Federal income tax regulations, which may differ from U.S. GAAP. As a result, net investment income (loss) and net realized gain (loss) on investment transactions for a reporting period may differ significantly from distributions during such period. These book/tax differences may be temporary or permanent in nature.
37
| THE ADVISORS' INNER CIRCLE FUND |
ACADIAN EMERGING MARKETS PORTFOLIO OCTOBER 31, 2025 |
There were no permanent differences credited or charged to Paid-in Capital and Distributable Earnings as of October 31, 2025.
The tax character of dividends and distributions declared during the last two fiscal years were as follows:
|
Ordinary Income |
Long-Term Capital Gain |
Total | ||||||||||
| 2025 | $ | 29,458,997 | $ | 5,516,430 | $ | 34,975,427 | ||||||
| 2024 | 25,263,131 | - | 25,263,131 | |||||||||
As of October 31, 2025, the components of Distributable Earnings on a tax basis were as follows:
| Undistributed Ordinary Income | $ | 26,155,049 | ||
| Undistributed Long-Term Capital Gains | 30,137,348 | |||
| Net Unrealized Appreciation | 344,903,314 | |||
| Total Distributable Earnings | $ | 401,195,711 |
For Federal income tax purposes, the difference between Federal tax cost and book cost primarily relates to PFICs and wash sales, which cannot be used for Federal income tax purposes in the current year and have been deferred for use in future years. The Federal tax cost and aggregate gross unrealized appreciation and depreciation on investments, held by the Portfolio at October 31, 2025, were as follows:
|
Federal Tax Cost |
Aggregated Gross Unrealized Appreciation |
Aggregated Gross Unrealized Depreciation |
Net Unrealized Appreciation |

The difference in unrealized appreciation is attributable to Foreign Capital Gains Tax Payable.
10. Concentration of Risks:
As with all management investment companies, a shareholder of the Portfolio is subject to the risk that his or her investment could lose money. The Portfolio is subject to the principal risks noted below, any of which may adversely affect the Portfolio's net asset value ("NAV") and ability to meet its investment objective.
38
| THE ADVISORS' INNER CIRCLE FUND |
ACADIAN EMERGING MARKETS PORTFOLIO OCTOBER 31, 2025 |
Active Management Risk - The Portfolio is subject to the risk that the Adviser's judgments about the attractiveness, value, or potential appreciation of the Portfolio's investments may prove to be incorrect. If the investments selected and strategies employed by the Portfolio fail to produce the intended results, the Portfolio could underperform in comparison to other funds with similar objectives and investment strategies.
Equity Risk - Since it purchases equity securities, the Portfolio is subject to the risk that stock prices may fall over short or extended periods of time. Historically, equity markets have moved in cycles, and the value of the Portfolio's equity securities may fluctuate drastically from day-to-day. Individual companies may report poor results or be negatively affected by industry and/or economic trends and developments. The prices of securities issued by such companies may suffer a decline in response. In addition, the impact of any epidemic, pandemic or natural disaster, or widespread fear that such events may occur, could negatively 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 Portfolio invests, which in turn could negatively impact the Portfolio's performance and cause losses on your investment in the Portfolio. These factors contribute to price volatility, which is the principal risk of investing in the Portfolio. This risk is greater for small and medium-sized companies, which tend to be more vulnerable to adverse developments than larger companies.
Small Capitalization Company Risk - The smaller capitalization companies that the Portfolio invests in may be more vulnerable to adverse business or economic events than larger, more established companies. In particular, investments in these small companies may pose additional risks and including liquidity risk, because these companies tend to have limited product lines, markets, financial resources, and may depend upon a relatively small management group. Therefore, small capitalization stocks may be more volatile than those of larger companies. These securities may be traded over-the-counter or listed on an exchange. The Portfolio is also subject to the risk that the Adviser's particular investment style, which focuses on small capitalization stocks, may underperform other segments of the equity market or the equity market as a whole.
Foreign Company Risk - Investing in foreign companies, whether through investments made in foreign markets or made through the purchase of ADRs and GDRs, which are traded on exchanges and represent an ownership in a foreign security, poses additional risks since political and economic events unique to a country or region will affect those markets and their issuers. Political events (civil unrest, national elections, changes in political conditions and foreign relations, imposition of exchange controls and repatriation restrictions), social and economic events (labor strikes, rising inflation) and natural disasters occurring in a country where the Portfolio invests could cause the Portfolio's investments in that country to experience gains or losses. These risks will not necessarily affect the U.S. economy or similar issuers located in the United States. In addition, investments in foreign companies are generally denominated in a foreign currency. As a result, changes in the value of those currencies compared to the U.S. dollar may affect (positively or negatively) the value of the Portfolio's investments.
39
| THE ADVISORS' INNER CIRCLE FUND |
ACADIAN EMERGING MARKETS PORTFOLIO OCTOBER 31, 2025 |
These currency movements may occur separately from, and in response to, events that do not otherwise affect the value of the security in the issuer's home country. In addition, periodic U.S. Government restrictions on investments in issuers from certain foreign countries may require the Portfolio to sell such investments at inopportune times, which could result in losses to the Portfolio. While ADRs and GDRs provide an alternative to directly purchasing the underlying foreign securities in their respective national markets and currencies, investments in ADRs and GDRs continue to be subject to many of the risks associated with investing directly in foreign securities.
Emerging Markets Securities Risk - Investments in emerging markets securities are considered speculative and subject to heightened risks in addition to the general risks of investing in non-U.S. securities. Unlike more established markets, emerging markets may have governments that are less stable, markets that are less liquid, and economies that are less developed. 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 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 Portfolio may be reduced by a withholding tax at the source, which tax would reduce income received from the securities comprising the portfolio. In addition, emerging markets securities may be issued by 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, emerging market governments may have limited ability to raise taxes or authorize appropriations for debt repayment. In addition, 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.
Foreign Currency Risk - Because non-U.S. securities are usually denominated in currencies other than the dollar, the value of the Portfolio's portfolio may be influenced by currency exchange rates and exchange control regulations. The currencies of emerging market countries may experience significant declines against the U.S. dollar, and devaluation may occur subsequent to investments in these currencies by the Portfolio. Inflation and rapid fluctuations in inflation rates have had, and may continue to have, negative effects on the economies and securities markets of certain emerging market countries.
Geographic Focus Risk - To the extent that it focuses its investments in a particular country or region, the Portfolio may be more susceptible to economic, political, regulatory or other events or conditions affecting issuers and countries within that country or region. As a result, the Portfolio may be subject to greater price volatility and risk of loss than a fund holding more geographically diverse investments.
The foregoing is not intended to be a complete discussion of all risks associated with the investment strategies of the Portfolio. Please refer to the Portfolio's current prospectus for a discussion of the risks associated with investing in the Portfolio.

ACADIAN EMERGING MARKETS PORTFOLIO OCTOBER 31, 2025 |
11. Concentration of Shareholders:
As of October 31, 2025, 91% of the Portfolio's Investor Class Shares outstanding were held by three record shareholders, 61% of the Portfolio's I Class Shares were held by three record shareholders, and 94% of the Portfolio's Y Class Shares outstanding were held by two record shareholders owning 10% or greater of the aggregate total shares outstanding. These shareholders were comprised of omnibus accounts that were held on behalf of various shareholders.
12. Indemnifications:
In the normal course of business, the Portfolio enters into contracts that provide general indemnifications. The Portfolio's maximum exposure under these arrangements is dependent on future claims that may be made against the Portfolio and, therefore, cannot be established; however, based on experience, the risk of loss from such potential claims is considered remote.
13. Loans of Fund Securities:
The Portfolio may lend fund securities having a market value up to one-third of the Portfolio's total assets. Such loans are secured by collateral equal the market value of the loaned securities. Such collateral will be cash or debt securities issued or guaranteed by the U.S. Government or any agencies. Cash collateral received in connection with these loans is invested in short-term money market instruments. It is the Portfolio's policy to obtain additional collateral from or return excess collateral to the borrower by the end of the next business day following the valuation date of the securities loaned. Therefore, the value of the collateral held may be temporarily less than the value of the securities on loan. Securities Lending entails a risk of loss to the Portfolio if the market value of the loans were to increase and the borrower did not increase the collateral accordingly. An additional risk is that the borrower fails to return the securities when recalled. The Portfolio could also experience delays and costs in gaining access to the collateral. The Portfolio bears the risk of any deficiency in the amount of the collateral available for return to the borrower due to any loss on the collateral invested.
During the year and as of October 31, 2025, there were no securities on loan for the Portfolio.
14. Recent Accounting Pronouncements:
In December 2023, the FASB issued 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. ASU 2023-09 is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024, and early adoption is permitted. Management is evaluating the impact of these changes on the Portfolio's financial statements.
41

ACADIAN EMERGING MARKETS PORTFOLIO OCTOBER 31, 2025 |
15. Subsequent Events:
The Portfolio has 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.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the Shareholders of Acadian Emerging Markets Portfolio
and the Board of Trustees of The Advisors' Inner Circle Fund
Opinion on the Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities, including the schedule of investments, of Acadian Emerging Markets Portfolio (the "Fund"), a series of The Advisors' Inner Circle Fund as of October 31, 2025, the related statement of operations the year then ended, the statements of changes in net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended, the financial highlights for each of the three years in the period then ended, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the "financial statements"). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Fund as of October 31, 2025, the results of its operations for the year then ended, the changes in net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended, and the financial highlights for each of the three years in the period then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
The Fund's financial highlights for the year ended October 31, 2022, and prior, were audited by other auditors whose report dated December 29, 2022, expressed an unqualified opinion on those financial highlights.
Basis for Opinion
These financial statements are the responsibility of the Fund's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Fund's financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) ("PCAOB") and are required to be independent with respect to the Fund in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement whether due to error or fraud.
Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of October 31, 2025, by correspondence with the custodian and brokers; when replies were not received from brokers, we performed other auditing procedures. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

Pursuant to Section 15 of the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the "1940 Act"), the Fund's advisory agreement (the "Agreement") must be renewed at least annually after its initial two-year term: (i) by the vote of the Board of Trustees (the "Board" or the "Trustees") of The Advisors' Inner Circle Fund (the "Trust") or by a vote of a majority of the shareholders of the Fund; and (ii) by the vote of a majority of the Trustees who are not parties to the Agreement or "interested persons" of any party thereto, as defined in the 1940 Act (the "Independent Trustees"), cast in person at a meeting called for the purpose of voting on such renewal.
A Board meeting was held on May 19-20, 2025 to decide whether to renew the Agreement for an additional one-year term. In preparation for the meeting, the Trustees requested that the Adviser furnish information necessary to evaluate the terms of the Agreement. Prior to the meeting, the Independent Trustees of the Fund met to review and discuss the information provided and submitted a request for additional information to the Adviser, and information was provided in response to this request. The Trustees used this information, as well as other information that the Adviser and other service providers of the Fund presented or submitted to the Board at the meeting and other meetings held during the prior year, to help them decide whether to renew the Agreement for an additional year.
Specifically, the Board requested and received written materials from the Adviser and other service providers of the Fund regarding: (i) the nature, extent and quality of the Adviser's services; (ii) the Adviser's investment management personnel; (iii) the Adviser's operations and financial condition; (iv) the Adviser's brokerage practices (including any soft dollar arrangements) and investment strategies; (v) the Fund's advisory fee paid to the Adviser and overall fees and operating expenses compared with a peer group of mutual funds; (vi) the level of the Adviser's profitability from its relationship with the Fund, including both direct and indirect benefits accruing to the Adviser and its affiliates; (vii) the Adviser's potential economies of scale; (viii) the Adviser's compliance program, including a description of material compliance matters and material compliance violations; (ix) the Adviser's policies on and compliance procedures for personal securities transactions; and (x) the Fund's performance compared with a peer group of mutual funds and the Fund's benchmark index.

Representatives from the Adviser, along with other Fund service providers, presented additional information and participated in question and answer sessions at the Board meeting to help the Trustees evaluate the Adviser's services, fee and other aspects of the Agreement. The Independent Trustees received advice from independent counsel and met in executive sessions outside the presence of Fund management and the Adviser.
At the Board meeting, the Trustees, including all of the Independent Trustees, based on their evaluation of the information provided by the Adviser and other service providers of the Fund, renewed the Agreement. In considering the renewal of the Agreement, the Board considered various factors that they determined were relevant, including: (i) the nature, extent and quality of the services provided by the Adviser; (ii) the investment performance of the Fund and the Adviser; (iii) the costs of the services provided and profits realized by the Adviser from its relationship with the Fund, including both direct and indirect benefits accruing to the Adviser and its affiliates; (iv) the extent to which economies of scale are being realized by the Adviser; and (v) whether fee levels reflect such economies of scale for the benefit of Fund investors, as discussed in further detail below.
Nature, Extent and Quality of Services Provided by the Adviser
In considering the nature, extent and quality of the services provided by the Adviser, the Board reviewed the portfolio management services provided by the Adviser to the Fund, including the quality and continuity of the Adviser's portfolio management personnel, the resources of the Adviser, and the Adviser's compliance history and compliance program. The Trustees reviewed the terms of the Agreement. The Trustees also reviewed the Adviser's investment and risk management approaches for the Fund. The most recent investment adviser registration form ("Form ADV") for the Adviser was available to the Board, as was the response of the Adviser to a detailed series of questions which included, among other things, information about the investment advisory services provided by the Adviser to the Fund.
The Trustees also considered other services provided to the Fund by the Adviser such as selecting broker-dealers for executing portfolio transactions, monitoring adherence to the Fund's investment restrictions, and monitoring compliance with various Fund policies and procedures and with applicable securities laws and regulations. Based on the factors above, as well as those discussed below, the Board concluded, within the context of its full deliberations, that the nature, extent and quality of the services provided to the Fund by the Adviser were sufficient to support renewal of the Agreement.

Investment Performance of the Fund and the Adviser
The Board was provided with regular reports regarding the Fund's performance over various time periods. The Trustees also reviewed reports prepared by the Fund's administrator comparing the Fund's performance to its benchmark index and a peer group of mutual funds as classified by Lipper, an independent provider of investment company data, over various periods of time. Representatives from the Adviser provided information regarding and led discussions of factors impacting the performance of the Fund, outlining current market conditions and explaining their expectations and strategies for the future. The Trustees determined that the Fund's performance was satisfactory, or, where the Fund's performance was materially below its benchmark and/or peer group, the Trustees were satisfied by the reasons for the underperformance and/or the steps taken by the Adviser in an effort to improve the performance of the Fund. Based on this information, the Board concluded, within the context of its full deliberations, that the investment results that the Adviser had been able to achieve for the Fund were sufficient to support renewal of the Agreement.
Costs of Advisory Services, Profitability and Economies of Scale
In considering the advisory fee payable by the Fund to the Adviser, the Trustees reviewed, among other things, a report of the advisory fee paid to the Adviser. The Trustees also reviewed reports prepared by the Fund's administrator comparing the Fund's net and gross expense ratios and advisory fee to those paid by a peer group of mutual funds as classified by Lipper. The Trustees reviewed the management fees charged by the Adviser to other clients with comparable mandates. The Trustees considered any differences in management fees and took into account the respective demands, resources and complexity associated with the Fund and other client accounts as well as the extensive regulatory, compliance and tax regimes to which the Fund is subject. The Board concluded, within the context of its full deliberations that the advisory fee was reasonable in light of the nature and quality of the services rendered by the Adviser.
The Trustees reviewed the costs of services provided by and the profits realized by the Adviser from its relationship with the Fund, including both direct benefits and indirect benefits, such as research and brokerage services received under soft dollar arrangements, accruing to the Adviser and its affiliates. The Trustees considered how the Adviser's profitability was affected by factors such as its organizational structure and method for allocating expenses. The Trustees concluded that the profit margins of the Adviser with respect to the management of the Fund were not unreasonable. The Board also considered the Adviser's commitment to managing the Fund and its willingness to continue its expense limitation and fee waiver arrangement with the Fund.
The Trustees considered the Adviser's views relating to economies of scale in connection with the Fund as Fund assets grow and the extent to which the benefits of any such economies of scale are shared with the Fund and Fund shareholders. The Board considered the existence of any economies of scale and whether those were passed along to the Fund's shareholders through a graduated advisory fee schedule or other means, including fee waivers. The Trustees recognized that economies of scale are difficult to identify and quantify and are rarely identifiable on a fund-by-fund basis. Based on this evaluation, the Board concluded that the advisory fee was reasonable in light of the information that was provided to the Trustees by the Adviser with respect to economies of scale.

Renewal of the Agreement
Based on the Board's deliberations and its evaluation of the information described above and other factors and information it believed relevant in the exercise of its reasonable business judgment, the Board, including all of the Independent Trustees, with the assistance of Fund counsel and Independent Trustees' counsel, unanimously concluded that the terms of the Agreement, including the fees payable thereunder, were fair and reasonable and agreed to renew the Agreement for another year. In its deliberations, the Board did not identify any absence of information as material to its decision, or any particular factor (or conclusion with respect thereto) or single piece of information that was all-important, controlling or determinative of its decision, but considered all of the factors together, and each Trustee may have attributed different weights to the various factors (and conclusions with respect thereto) and information.
