Householding

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 1-800-838-0191 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 First Foundation Fixed Income Fund and the First Foundation Total Return Fund (each a "Fund" and collectively, the "Funds"). The investment objective of the First Foundation Fixed Income Fund is to seek maximum income consistent with prudent investment management and the preservation of capital. The investment objective of the First Foundation Total Return Fund is to seek maximum total return (total return includes both income and capital appreciation). The Funds are each classified as a diversified investment company. Brookmont Capital Management, LLC serves as the Funds' investment adviser (the "Adviser"). 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.

The First Foundation Fixed Income Fund (the "Fixed Income Fund") is the successor to the Highland Fixed Income Fund (the "Fixed Income Predecessor Fund") and the First Foundation Total Return Fund (the "Total Return Fund") is the successor to the Highland Total Return Fund (the "Total Return Predecessor Fund" and, together with the Fixed Income Predecessor Fund, the "Predecessor Funds"). The Predecessor Funds were managed by Highland Capital Management Fund Advisors, L.P., the Predecessor Funds' investment adviser (the "Predecessor Adviser"), prior to their reorganizations into the Funds. The Predecessor Fixed Income Fund and the Predecessor Total Return Fund had substantially similar investment objectives, investment strategies, policies and restrictions as those of the Fixed Income Fund and the Total Return Fund, respectively. Each Fund acquired the assets and assumed all of the liabilities of its Predecessor Fund (the "Reorganization") on January 11, 2021 in a tax-free transaction. The Funds had no operations prior to the Reorganization. The financial statements and financial highlights reflect the financial information of the Predecessor Funds for periods prior to January 11, 2021. The Funds currently offer Class A and Class Y. On November 16, 2020, Class C of each Predecessor Fund were converted to Class Y of the applicable Predecessor Fund, and the Class C were terminated.

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 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.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - continued

Use of Estimates - The preparation of financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the fair value of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from 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 the NASDAQ Stock Market (the "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 Eastern Standard Time 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. If available, debt securities are priced based upon valuations provided by independent, third-party pricing agents. Such values generally reflect the last reported sales price if the security is actively traded. The third-party pricing agents may also value debt securities at an evaluated bid price by employing methodologies that utilize actual market transactions, broker supplied valuations, or other methodologies designed to identify the market value for such securities. Such methodologies generally consider such factors as security prices, yields, maturities, call features, ratings and developments relating to specific securities in arriving at valuations. On the first day a new debt security purchase is recorded, if a price is not available on the automated pricing feeds from our primary and secondary pricing vendors nor is it available from an independent broker, the security may be valued at its purchase price. Each day thereafter, the debt security will be valued according to the Trusts' Fair Value Procedures until an independent source can be secured. Debt obligations with remaining maturities of sixty days or less may be valued at their amortized cost, which approximates market value provided that it is determined the amortized cost continues to approximate fair value. Should existing credit, liquidity or interest rate conditions in the relevant markets and issuer specific circumstances suggest that amortized cost does not approximate fair value, then the amortized cost method may not be used. The prices for foreign securities are reported in local currency and converted to U.S. dollars using currency exchange rates.

Redeemable securities issued by open-end investment companies are valued at the investment company's applicable Net Asset Value ("NAV") per share, with the exception of ETFs, which are priced as equity securities. These open-end investment companies' shares are offered in separate prospectuses, each of which describes the process by which the applicable investment company's NAV is determined.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - continued

Warrants are valued at the last quoted sales price. If there is no such reported sales price on the valuation date, they are valued at the most recent bid price.

Securities for which market prices are not "readily available" are valued in accordance with fair value procedures (the "Fair Value Procedures") established by the Adviser and approved by the Trust's Board of Trustees (the "Board"). Pursuant to Rule 2a-5 under the 1940 Act, the Board has designated the Adviser as the "valuation designee" to determine the fair value of securities and other instruments for which no readily available market quotations are available. The Fair Value Procedures are implemented through a Fair Value Committee (the "Committee") of the Adviser.

Some of the more common reasons that may necessitate that a security be valued using Fair Value Procedures include: the security's trading has been halted or suspended; the security has been de-listed from a national exchange; the security's primary trading market is temporarily closed at a time when under normal conditions it would be open; the security has not been traded for an extended period of time; the security's primary pricing source is not able or willing to provide a price; or trading of the security is subject to local government imposed restrictions. When a security is valued in accordance with the Fair Value Procedures, the Committee will determine the value after taking into consideration relevant information reasonably available to the Committee.

In accordance with U.S. GAAP, the Funds disclose 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:

THE ADVISORS' INNER CIRCLE FUND III

BROOKMONT FUNDS
MARCH 31, 2026
(Unaudited)

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - continued

●

Level 1 - Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical, unrestricted assets or liabilities that the Fund has the ability to access at the measurement date;

●

Level 2 - Other significant observable inputs (includes quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, referenced indices, quoted prices in inactive markets, adjusted quoted prices in active markets, adjusted quoted 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).

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.

Federal Income Taxes - It is the Funds' 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 (the "Code"), 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.

As of and during the 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 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 Fund or their agent files withholding tax reclaims in certain jurisdictions to recover certain amounts previously withheld. The Fund 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 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 and includes the amortization of premiums and the accretion of discount. 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. Discounts and premiums on fixed income securities are accreted and amortized using the effective interest method. Realized gains (losses) on paydowns of mortgage-backed and asset-backed securities are recorded as an adjustment to interest income.

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.

Cash - Idle cash may be swept into various time deposit accounts and is classified as cash on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities. The Funds maintain cash in bank deposit accounts which, at times may exceed United States federally insured limits. Amounts invested are available on the same business day.

Dividends and Distributions to Shareholders - The Fixed Income Fund distributes its net investment income, if any, at least monthly. The Total Return Fund distributes its net investment income, if any, at least annually. Any net realized capital gains are distributed annually. All distributions are recorded on ex-dividend date.

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.

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 standard impacted financial statement disclosures only and did not affect each Fund's financial position or the results of its operations. An operating segment is defined in Topic 280 as a 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 each Fund's Adviser acts as each Fund's CODM. Each Fund represents a single operating segment, as the CODM monitors the operating results of each Fund as a whole and each Fund's long-term strategic asset allocation is pre-determined in accordance with each Fund's single investment objective which is executed by each Fund's portfolio managers. The financial information in the form of each Fund'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 each Fund's comparative benchmarks and to make resource allocation decisions for each Fund's single segment, is consistent with that presented within each Fund's 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.

8. 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. These differences include (but are not limited to) investments organized as partnerships for tax purposes, passive foreign investment companies (PFICs), REITs, paydown gain (loss), foreign currency, convertible preferred, perpetual bond, losses deferred due to wash sale transactions, tax treatment of net investment loss and return of capital. Reclassifications are made to the Fund's capital accounts to reflect income and gains available for distribution (or available capital loss carryovers) under income tax regulations. The calculation of net investment income per share in the Financial Highlights table excludes these adjustments.

The tax character of distributions paid during the years ended September 30, 2025 and September 30, 2024 is as follows:

	Ordinary Income		Long-term Capital Gain		Return of Capital		Total
Fixed Income Fund
2025		3,472,746		-		2,895		3,475,641

At September 30, 2025, the components of Distributable Earnings (Accumulated Losses) on a tax basis were as follows:

	Fixed Income Fund			Total Return Fund
Undistributed Ordinary Income	$	-		$	2,922,213
Undistributed Long-Term Capital Gains		-			777,625

Other Temporary Differences		(5,373	)		5
Net Distributable Earnings (Accumulated Losses)	$	(22,162,437	)	$	16,227,986

For Federal income tax purposes, capital losses incurred may be carried forward and applied against future capital gains. Such capital losses retain their character as either short-term or long-term capital losses. During the year ended September 30, 2025, the Funds did not utilize capital loss carryforwards to offset capital gains.

The other temporary differences are comprised of dividends payable and perpetual bond basis adjustment.

The Federal tax cost and gross unrealized appreciation and depreciation on investments (including foreign currency and derivatives, if applicable) held by the Funds at March 31, 2026 were as follows:

	Federal Tax Cost		Aggregated Gross (Unrealized) Appreciation		Aggregated Gross (Unrealized) Depreciation			Net (Unrealized) Appreciation/ (Depreciation)
First Foundation Fixed Income Fund	$	67,189,953	$	984,219	$	(4,203,876	)	$	(3,219,657	)
First Foundation Total Return Fund		56,045,124		-		10,243,922			10,243,922

For Federal income tax purposes the difference between federal tax cost and book cost primarily relates to wash sales, perpetual bond basis adjustment and investments in passive foreign investment companies (PFICs) and partnerships.

9. Concentration of Risks:

As with all mutual funds, there is no guarantee that the Funds will achieve their investment objective. You could lose money by investing in the Funds. A fund share is not a bank deposit and is not insured or guaranteed by the FDIC or any government agency. The principal risk factors affecting shareholders' investments in the Funds are set forth below. The following risks pertain to the Funds, unless otherwise noted.

Market Risk - The risk that the market value of a security may move up and down, sometimes rapidly and unpredictably. Market risk may affect a single issuer, an industry, a sector or the equity market as a whole. 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 Funds invest, which in turn could negatively impact the Funds' performance and cause losses on your investment in the Funds.

THE ADVISORS' INNER CIRCLE FUND III

BROOKMONT FUNDS
MARCH 31, 2026

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - continued

Asset Allocation Risk (Total Return Fund) - The Fund is subject to asset allocation risk, which is the risk that the Sub-Adviser's allocation of the Fund's assets among strategies will cause the Fund to underperform other funds with a similar investment objective and/or underperform the markets in which the Fund invests.

Liquidity Risk - The risk that certain securities may be difficult or impossible to sell at the time and price that the Funds would like. The Funds may have to lower the price of the security, sell other securities instead or forego an investment opportunity, any of which could have a negative effect on Fund management or performance. Liquidity risk may be heightened in the emerging market countries in which the Funds invest, as a result of their markets being less developed.

Equity Risk - Since it purchases equity securities, the Funds are subject to the risk that stock prices will fall over short or extended periods of time. Historically, the equity markets have moved in cycles, and the value of the Funds' equity securities may fluctuate drastically from day to day. Individual companies may report poor results or be negatively affected by industry and/or economic trends and developments. The prices of securities issued by such companies may suffer a decline in response. These factors contribute to price volatility.

Micro-, Small- and Mid-Capitalization Company Risk - The micro-, small- and mid-capitalization companies in which the Funds may invest may be more vulnerable to adverse business or economic events than larger, more established companies. In particular, investments in these micro-, small- and mid-sized companies may pose additional risks, including liquidity risk, because these companies tend to have limited product lines, markets and financial resources, and may depend upon a relatively small management group. Therefore, micro-, small- and mid-cap stocks may be more volatile than those of larger companies. These securities may be traded over-the-counter or listed on an exchange.

Large Shareholder Risk (Total Return Fund) - The risk that a significant percentage of the Fund's shares may be owned or controlled by a large shareholder, such as other funds or accounts, including those of which the Adviser, the Sub-Adviser or an affiliate of the Adviser or Sub-Adviser, may have investment discretion. Accordingly, the Fund can be subject to the potential for large scale inflows and outflows as a result of purchases and redemptions made by significant shareholders. These inflows and outflows could be significant, could cause the Fund to sell securities at inopportune times in order to meet redemption requests, and could cause the Fund's portfolio turnover rate and transaction costs to rise, which may negatively affect the Fund's performance and have adverse tax consequences for Fund shareholders.

THE ADVISORS' INNER CIRCLE FUND III

BROOKMONT FUNDS

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - continued

Value Style Risk (Total Return Fund) - If the Sub-Adviser's assessment of market conditions, or a company's value or prospects for exceeding earnings expectations is wrong, the Fund could suffer losses or produce poor performance relative to other funds. In addition, "value stocks" can continue to be undervalued by the market for long periods of time.

Communications Sector Risk (Total Return Fund) - Communications Sector Risk is the risk that the securities of, or financial instruments tied to the performance of, issuers in the Communications Sector that the Fund purchases will underperform the market as a whole. To the extent that the Fund's investments are exposed to issuers conducting business in the Communications Sector ("Communications Companies"), the Fund is subject to legislative or regulatory changes, adverse market conditions and/or increased competition affecting the Communications Sector, The prices of the securities of Communications Companies may fluctuate widely due to both federal and state regulations governing rates of return and services that may be offered, fierce competition for market share, and competitive challenges in the U.S. from foreign competitors engaged In strategic joint ventures with U.S. companies, and in foreign markets from both U.S. and foreign competitors. In addition, recent industry consolidation trends may lead to increased regulation of Communications Companies in their primary markets.

Counterparty Risk - There is a risk that the Funds may incur a loss arising from the failure of another party to a contract (the counterparty) to meet its obligations. Substantial losses can be incurred if a counterparty fails to deliver on its contractual obligations.

Credit Risk - 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.

Currency Risk - As a result of the Funds' investments in securities or other investments 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 hedging 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. Currency exchange rates may fluctuate in response to, among other things, changes in interest rates, intervention (or failure to intervene) by U.S. or foreign governments, central banks or supranational entities, or by the imposition of currency controls or other political developments in the United States or abroad.

Fixed Income Market Risk - The prices of the Funds' 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 Funds' 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. In the case of foreign securities, price fluctuations will reflect international economic and political events, as well as changes in currency valuations relative to the U.S. dollar. In response to these events, the Funds' value may fluctuate and/or the Funds may experience increased redemptions from shareholders, which may impact the Funds' liquidity or force the Funds to sell securities into a declining or illiquid market.

Foreign Investment/Emerging Markets Risk - The risk that non-U.S. securities may be subject to additional risks due to, among other things, political, social and economic developments abroad, currency movements and different legal, regulatory and tax environments. These additional risks may be heightened with respect to emerging market countries because political turmoil and rapid changes in economic conditions are more likely to occur in these countries. In addition, periodic U.S. Government restrictions on Investments in Issuers from certain non-U.S. countries may require the Funds to sell such investments at inopportune times which could result in losses to the Funds.

Investments In Investment Company Risk - When the Funds invest in an investment company, including closed-end funds and ETFs, in addition to directly bearing the expenses associated with their own operations, they will bear a pro rata portion of the investment company's expenses. Further, while the risks of owning shares of an investment company generally reflect the risks of owning the underlying investments of the Investment Company, the Funds may be subject to additional or different risks than if the Funds had invested directly in the underlying investments. For example, the lack of liquidity in an ETF could result in its share price being more volatile than that of the underlying portfolio securities. Certain closed-end investment companies issue a fixed number of shares that trade on a stock exchange at a premium or a discount to their net asset value ("NAV"). As a result, a closed-end fund's share price fluctuates based on what another investor is willing to pay rather than on the market value of the securities in the fund.

Below Investment Grade Securities (Junk Bonds) Risk - Fixed income securities rated below investment grade (junk bonds) involve greater risks of default or downgrade and are generally more volatile than investment grade securities because the prospect for repayment of principal and interest of many of these securities is speculative. Because these securities typically offer a higher rate of return to compensate investors for these risks, they are sometimes referred to as "high yield bonds", but there is no guarantee that an investment in these securities will result in a high rate of return.

Interest Rate Risk - The risk that a rise in interest rates will cause a fall in the value of fixed income securities, including U.S. Government securities, in which the Funds invest. 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. A low interest rate environment may present greater interest rate risk because there may be a greater likelihood of rates increasing and rates may increase more rapidly. Interest rate risk may be heightened for investments in emerging market countries.

Mortgage-Backed Securities Risk - Mortgage-backed securities are affected significantly by the rate of prepayments and modifications of the mortgage loans backing those securities, as well as by other factors such as borrower defaults, delinquencies, realized or liquidation losses and other shortfalls. Mortgage- backed securities are particularly sensitive to prepayment risk, which is described below, given that the term to maturity for mortgage loans is generally substantially longer than the expected lives of those securities; however, the timing and amount of prepayments cannot be accurately predicted. The timing of changes in the rate of prepayments of the mortgage loans may significantly affect the Funds' actual yield to maturity on any mortgage-backed securities, even if the average rate of principal payments is consistent with the Funds' expectation. Along with prepayment risk, mortgage-backed securities are significantly affected by interest rate risk, which is described above. In a low interest rate environment, mortgage loan prepayments would generally be expected to increase due to factors such as refinancing's and loan modifications at lower Interest rates. In contrast, if prevailing interest rates rise prepayments of mortgage loans would generally be expected to decline and therefore extend the weighted average lives of mortgage-backed securities held or acquired by the Funds.

Cyber Security Risk - The Funds and their service providers may be susceptible to operational and information security risks resulting from a breach In cyber security, including cyber-attacks. Cyber-attacks may interfere with the processing of shareholder transactions, impact the Funds' ability to calculate its NAV, cause the release of private shareholder Information or confidential company Information, impede redemptions, subject the Funds to regulatory fines or financial losses, and cause reputational damage. Similar types of cyber security risks are also present for issuers of securities in which the Fund invests.

Prepayment Risk - The risk that, in a declining interest environment fixed income securities with stated interest rates may have the principal paid earlier than expected, requiring the Funds to invest the proceeds at generally lower interest rates.

Portfolio Turnover Risk (Total Return Fund) - Due to its investment strategy, the Fund may buy and sell securities frequently. This may result in higher transaction costs and additional capital gains tax liabilities, which may affect the Fund's performance.

REITs Risk - REITs are pooled investment vehicles that own, and usually operate income-producing real estate or finance real estate. REITs are susceptible to the risks associated with direct ownership of real estate, as discussed elsewhere in this section. REITs typically incur fees that are separate from those of the Funds. Accordingly, the Funds' 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.

Restricted Securities Risk (Total Return Fund) - Investments in restricted securities may be illiquid. 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, restricted securities may not be subject to the disclosure and other investor protection requirements that might be applicable to unrestricted securities. In order to sell restricted securities, the Fund may have to bear the expense of registering the securities for resale and the risk of substantial delays in effecting the registration. Other transaction costs may be higher for restricted securities than unrestricted securities.

Asset-Backed Securities Risk (Fixed Income Fund) - Payment of principal and interest on asset-backed securities is dependent largely on the cash flows generated by the assets backing the securities. Securitization trusts generally do not have any assets or sources of funds other than the receivables and related property they own, and asset-backed securities are generally not insured or guaranteed by the related sponsor or any other entity. Asset-backed securities may be more illiquid than more conventional types of fixed-income securities that the Fund may acquire.

Financials Sector Risk (Fixed Income Fund) - The Fund is subject to the risk that the securities of issuers in the Financials Sector will underperform the market as a whole due to legislative or regulatory changes, adverse market conditions and/or increased competition affecting the Financials Sector. Companies operating in the Financials Sector are subject to extensive government regulation, which may limit the financial commitments they can make and the interest rates and fees they can charge. Profitability is largely dependent on the availability and cost of capital funds, and can fluctuate significantly when interest rates change or due to increased competition.

Preferred Stock Risk (Fixed Income Fund) - Preferred stocks are nonvoting equity securities that pay a stated fixed or variable rate of return. Preferred stocks are subject to issuer-specific risks (such as credit risk) and market risks applicable generally to equity securities. The market value of preferred stocks generally decreases when interest rates rise. Preferred stocks generally are subordinated to bonds and other debt instruments in a company's capital structure in terms of priority to corporate income and liquidation payments and, therefore, will be subject to greater credit risk than the company's bonds and other debt instruments. Preferred stock may also be subject to prepayment risk, which is discussed above.

Municipal Securities Risk (Fixed Income Fund) - Municipal securities, like other fixed income securities, rise and fall in value in response to economic and market factors, primarily changes in interest rates, and actual or perceived credit quality. Rising interest rates will generally cause municipal securities to decline in value. Longer-term securities respond more sharply to interest rate changes than do shorter-term securities. A municipal security will also lose value if, due to rating downgrades or other factors, there are concerns about the issuer's current or future ability to make principal or interest payments. State and local governments rely on taxes and, to some extent, revenues from private projects financed by municipal securities, to pay interest and principal on municipal debt. Poor statewide or local economic results or changing political sentiments may reduce tax revenues and increase the expenses of municipal issuers, making it more difficult for them to meet their obligations. Actual or perceived erosion of the creditworthiness of municipal issuers may reduce the value of the Fund's holdings. As a result, the Fund will be more susceptible to factors that adversely affect issuers of municipal obligations than a mutual fund that does not have as great a concentration in municipal obligations.

Energy Sector Risk (Total Return Fund): The profitability of companies in the energy industries is related to worldwide energy prices and costs related to energy production. The energy industries are cyclical and highly dependent on commodity prices. Energy-related companies can be significantly affected by the supply of, and demand for, particular energy products (such as oil and natural gas). Companies in the energy industries may be adversely affected by natural disasters or other catastrophes. The companies may be at risk for environmental damage claims and other types of litigation. Companies in the energy industries also may be adversely affected by changes in exchange rates, interest rates, economic conditions, tax treatment, government regulation and intervention, negative perception, efforts at energy conservation and world events in the regions in which the companies operate (e.g., expropriation, nationalization, confiscation of assets and property or the imposition of restrictions on foreign investments and repatriation of capital, military coups, social unrest, violence or labor unrest). Companies in the energy industries may have significant capital investments in, or engage in transactions involving, emerging market countries, which may heighten these risks.

Real Estate Sector Risk - Securities of companies principally engaged in the real estate sector may be subject to the risks associated with the direct ownership of real estate. Risks commonly associated with the direct ownership of real estate include (i) changes in general economic and market conditions; (ii) changes In the value of real estate properties: (iii) risks related to local economic conditions, overbuilding and increased competition: (iv) increases in property taxes and operating expenses; (v) changes in zoning laws: (vi) casualty and condemnation losses; (vii) variations in rental income, neighborhood values or the appeal of property to tenants: (viii) the availability of financing; and (ix) changes in interest rates and quality of credit extended.

10. Concentration of Shareholders:

At September 30, 2025, the percentage of total shares outstanding held by shareholders owning 10% or greater for the Funds, which are comprised of individual shareholders and omnibus accounts that are held on behalf of various individual shareholders was as follows:

	No. of Shareholders	% Ownership
Fixed Income Fund, Class A	1	12%
Fixed Income Fund, Class Y	1	94%
Total Return Fund, Class Y	2	95%

11. Indemnifications:

In the normal course of business, the Funds enter into contracts that provide general indemnifications. The Funds' maximum exposure under these arrangements is dependent on future claims that may be made against the Funds and, therefore, cannot be established; however, based on experience, the risk of loss from such claim is considered remote.

12. Recent Accounting Pronouncement:

In this reporting period, the Funds adopted 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. Adoption of the new standard 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.
