How did the Fund perform in the last year?

The broad U.S. equity market as measured by the S&P 500 Index was up 21.45% for the twelve months ended October 31, 2025. The market’s strong performance came despite persistent macroeconomic uncertainty, including concerns about slowing global growth, inflation dynamics, and shifting expectations around Federal Reserve policy. The resilience of the U.S. economy and continued earnings strength among large-cap technology companies were key drivers of the positive returns. While the market once again rewarded mega-cap growth stocks, smaller-cap and value-oriented stocks lagged behind. Small cap stocks underperformed large caps over the period as the Russell 1000 Index was up 21.14%, while the Russell 2000 Index gained 14.41% (both in USD). From a style perspective, value stocks (as measured by the Russell Indices) underperformed growth—the Russell 1000 Value Index was up 11.15%, while the Russell 1000 Growth Index rose 30.53% (both in USD). The LSV Value Equity Fund, Institutional Class, gained 12.11% for the period. From a sector perspective, Information Technology, Communication Services, and Consumer Discretionary stocks outperformed, while Materials, Real Estate, and Consumer Staples lagged.

 

The Fund’s deeper value bias added value over the period as cheaper stocks on an earnings and cash flow basis performed well on a relative and absolute basis. Performance attribution further indicates that stock selection contributed positively to portfolio relative returns while sector allocation also added to relative returns over the year. Stock selection relative gains were the result of the outperformance of value names within the Utilities, Health Care, and Financials. From a sector perspective, relative gains were the result of our overweight to Information Technology and Communication Services stocks combined with an underweight to the Real Estate sectors. Top contributors for the year included our overweight positions in NRG Energy, Citigroup, Western Digital and Bank of New York Mellon. Additionally, underweights in Exxon Mobil, Constellation Brands, Newmont, Amcor and Simon Property Group. The main individual detractors included our overweight positions in Comcast, Centene, Merck & Co and HP. Not owning JPMorgan Chase & Co, Micron Technology and Robinhood Markets also contributed to losses.

 

The Fund continues to trade at a discount to the overall market as well as to the value benchmark. The Fund is trading at 11.5x forward earnings compared to 18.3x for the Russell 1000 Value, 1.9x book value compared to 2.9x for the Russell 1000 Value and 7.8x cash flow compared to 13.9x for the Russell 1000 Value. Sector weightings are a result of our bottom-up stock selection process, subject to constraints at the sector and industry levels. The Fund is currently overweight the Health Care, Information Technology, and Consumer Discretionary while underweight Utilities, Industrials, and Real Estate.

Householding

Rule 30e-1 of the Investment Company Act of 1940 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 888-386-3578 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.

How did the Fund perform in the last year?

The broad U.S. equity market as measured by the S&P 500 Index was up 21.45% for the twelve months ended October 31, 2025. The market’s strong performance came despite persistent macroeconomic uncertainty, including concerns about slowing global growth, inflation dynamics, and shifting expectations around Federal Reserve policy. The resilience of the U.S. economy and continued earnings strength among large-cap technology companies were key drivers of the positive returns. While the market once again rewarded mega-cap growth stocks, smaller-cap and value-oriented stocks lagged behind. Small cap stocks underperformed large caps over the period as the Russell 1000 Index was up 21.14%, while the Russell 2000 Index gained 14.41% (both in USD). From a style perspective, value stocks (as measured by the Russell Indices) underperformed growth—the Russell 1000 Value Index was up 11.15%, while the Russell 1000 Growth Index rose 30.53% (both in USD). The LSV Value Equity Fund, Investor Class, gained 11.87% for the period. From a sector perspective, Information Technology, Communication Services, and Consumer Discretionary stocks outperformed, while Materials, Real Estate, and Consumer Staples lagged.

 

The Fund’s deeper value bias added value over the period as cheaper stocks on an earnings and cash flow basis performed well on a relative and absolute basis. Performance attribution further indicates that stock selection contributed positively to portfolio relative returns while sector allocation also added to relative returns over the year. Stock selection relative gains were the result of the outperformance of value names within the Utilities, Health Care, and Financials. From a sector perspective, relative gains were the result of our overweight to Information Technology and Communication Services stocks combined with an underweight to the Real Estate sectors. Top contributors for the year included our overweight positions in NRG Energy, Citigroup, Western Digital and Bank of New York Mellon. Additionally, underweights in Exxon Mobil, Constellation Brands, Newmont, Amcor and Simon Property Group. The main individual detractors included our overweight positions in Comcast, Centene, Merck & Co and HP. Not owning JPMorgan Chase & Co, Micron Technology and Robinhood Markets also contributed to losses.

 

The Fund continues to trade at a discount to the overall market as well as to the value benchmark. The Fund is trading at 11.5x forward earnings compared to 18.3x for the Russell 1000 Value, 1.9x book value compared to 2.9x for the Russell 1000 Value and 7.8x cash flow compared to 13.9x for the Russell 1000 Value. Sector weightings are a result of our bottom-up stock selection process, subject to constraints at the sector and industry levels. The Fund is currently overweight the Health Care, Information Technology, and Consumer Discretionary while underweight Utilities, Industrials, and Real Estate.

Notes:

 

(1) Audit fees include amounts related to the audit of the Trust’s annual financial statements and services normally provided by the accountant in connection with statutory and regulatory filings.

 

(2)Tax compliance services provided to service affiliates of the funds.

 

(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.

Audit-Related Fees

None None
Tax Fees None None

(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.

Notes to Financial Statements

 

October 31, 2025

 

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, as an open-end management investment company with 27 funds. The financial statements herein are those of the LSV Value Equity Fund, a diversified Fund (the “Fund”). The Fund seeks long-term growth of capital by investing in undervalued stocks which are out of favor in the market. The financial statements of the remaining funds of the Trust are not presented herein, but 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.

 

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 Fund. The Fund 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 the 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 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. As of October 31, 2025, there were no securities valued in accordance with the Fair Value Procedures.

 

In accordance with the authoritative guidance on fair value measurements and disclosure under U.S. GAAP, the Fund discloses fair value of its investments in a hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure the fair value. The objective of a fair value measurement is to determine the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date (an exit price). Accordingly, the fair value hierarchy gives the highest priority to quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3). The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are described below:

 

Level 1 — Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical, unrestricted assets or liabilities that the 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 The Adviser’s pricing procedures,etc.); and

7

 

Notes to Financial Statements

 

October 31, 2025

 

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 Fund’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 to distribute substantially all of its income to shareholders. Accordingly, no provision for Federal income taxes has been made in the financial statements.

 

The Fund evaluates tax positions taken or expected to be taken in the course of preparing the Fund’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 Fund 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 on open tax years (i.e. the last three open tax year ends, 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 Fund did not have a liability for any unrecognized tax benefits. The Fund 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 Fund did not incur any interest or penalties.

 

Withholding taxes on foreign dividends, if any, have been provided for in accordance with the Funds’ understanding of the applicable country’s tax rules and rates. The Funds or their agent files withholding tax reclaims in certain jurisdictions to recover certain amounts previously withheld. The Funds may record

a reclaim receivable based on collectability, which includes factors such as the jurisdiction’s applicable laws, payment history and market convention. Professional fees paid to those that provide assistance in receiving the tax reclaims, which generally are contingent upon successful receipt of reclaimed amounts, are recorded in Professional Fees on the Statement of Operations, if applicable, once the amounts are due. The professional fees related to pursuing these tax reclaims are not subject to the Adviser’s expense limitation agreement.

 

Security Transactions and Investment Income Security transactions are accounted for on trade date for financial reporting purposes. 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. Interest income is recognized on the accrual basis from settlement date.

 

Investments in Real Estate Investment Trusts (REITs) — With respect to the Fund, dividend income is recorded based on the income included in distributions received from the REIT investments using published REIT reclassifications including some management estimates when actual amounts are not available. Distributions received in excess of this estimated amount are recorded as a reduction of the cost of investments or reclassified to capital gains. The actual amounts of income, return of capital, and capital gains are only determined by each REIT after its fiscal year-end, and may differ from the estimated amounts.

 

Repurchase Agreements — In connection with transactions involving repurchase agreements, a third party custodian bank takes possession of the underlying securities (“collateral”), the value of which exceeds the principal amount of the repurchase transaction, including accrued interest. Such collateral will be cash, debt securities issued or guaranteed by the U.S. Government, securities that at the time the repurchase agreement is entered into are rated in the highest category by a nationally recognized statistical rating organization (“NRSRO”) or unrated category by an NRSRO, as determined by the Adviser. Provisions of the repurchase agreements and procedures adopted by the Board require that the market value of the collateral, including accrued interest thereon, is sufficient in the event of default by the counterparty. In the event of default on the obligation to repurchase, the Fund has the right to liquidate the collateral and apply the proceeds in satisfaction of the obligation. In the event of default or bankruptcy by the counterparty to the agreement, realization and/or retention of the collateral or proceeds may be subject to legal proceedings.

Notes to Financial Statements

 

October 31, 2025

 

Repurchase agreements are entered into by the Fund under Master Repurchase Agreements (“MRA”) which permit the Fund, under certain circumstances including an event of default (such as bankruptcy or insolvency), to offset payables and/or receivables under the MRA with collateral held and/ or posted to the counterparty and create one single net payment due to or from the Fund.

 

At October 31, 2025, the Fund did not enter into any repurchase agreements.

 

Expenses— Expenses that are directly related to the Fund are charged to the Fund. Other operating expenses of the Trust are prorated to the Fund based on the number of funds and/or average daily net assets

 

Classes— Class specific expenses are borne by that class of shares. Income, realized and unrealized gains and losses and non-class specific expenses are allocated to the respective class on the basis of average daily net assets.

 

Dividends and Distributions to Shareholders— Dividends from net investment income, if any, are declared and paid to shareholders annually. Any net realized capital gains are distributed to shareholders at least annually.

 

Segment Reporting —In this reporting period, the Fund 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 Fund’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 Fund’s Adviser acts as the Fund’s CODM. The Fund represents a single operating segment, as the CODM monitors the operating results of the Fund as a whole and the Fund’s long-term strategic asset allocation is pre-determined in accordance with the Fund’s single investment objective which is executed by the Fund’s portfolio

manager. The financial information in the form of the 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 the Fund’s comparative benchmarks and to make resource allocation decisions for the Fund’s single segment, is consistent with that presented within the Fund’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 employees of SEI Investments Global Funds Services (the “Administrator”), a wholly owned subsidiary of SEI Investments Company, and/or SEI Investments Distribution Co. (the “Distributor”). Such officers are paid no fees by the Trust for serving as officers of the Trust other than the Chief Compliance Officer (“CCO”) as described below.

 

A portion of the services provided by the CCO and his staff, whom 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 have been approved by and reviewed by the Board.

 

4. Administration, Distribution, Transfer Agency and Custodian Agreements:

 

The Fund, along with other series of the Trust advised by LSV Asset Management (the “Adviser”), and the Administrator are parties to an Administration Agreement, under which the Administrator provides administrative services to the Fund. For these services, the Administrator is paid an asset based fee, subject to certain minimums, which will vary depending on the number of share classes and the average daily net assets of the Fund. For the year ended October 31, 2025, the Fund incurred $735,965 for these services.

 

The Fund has adopted a distribution plan under the Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act for Investor Class Shares that allows the Fund to pay distribution and service fees for the sale and distribution of its shares, and for services provided to shareholders. The maximum annual distribution fee for Investor Class Shares of the Fund is 0.25% annually of the average daily net assets. For the year ended October 31, 2025, the Fund incurred $689,956 of distribution fees.

Notes to Financial Statements

 

October 31, 2025

 

SS&C Global Investor & Distribution Solutions, Inc. serves as transfer agent and dividend disbursing agent for the Fund under the transfer agency agreement with the Trust.

This amount is labeled as “Fees Paid Indirectly” on the Statement of Operations.

 

U.S. Bank, N.A. acts as custodian (the “Custodian”) for the Fund. The Custodian plays no role in determining the investment policies of the Fund or which securities are to be purchased and sold by the Fund.

 

5. Investment Advisory Agreement:

 

The Trust and the Adviser are parties to an Investment Advisory Agreement, under which the Adviser receives an annual fee equal to 0.55% of the Fund’s average daily net assets.

 

6. Investment Transactions:

Purchases     $ 149,496  
Sales     $ 493,485  

 

7. 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. To the extent these differences are permanent in nature, they are charged or credited to distributable earnings or paid-in capital, as appropriate, in the period that the differences arise.

 

The permanent differences primarily consist of reclassification of long term capital gain distribution on REITs and reclass of Distributions. There are no permanent differences that are credited or charged to Paid-in Capital and Distributable Earnings (Accumulated Losses) as of October 31, 2025.

 

The tax character of dividends and distributions paid during the year ended October 31, 2025 and 2024 was as follows (000):

     

Ordinary
Income

   

Long-Term

Capital Gain

    Total  
2025     $ 28,133     $ 80,126     $ 108,259  
2024       30,383       65,944       96,327  

 

As of October 31, 2025, the components of distributable earnings (accumulated losses) on a tax basis were as follows (000):

 

Undistributed Ordinary Income   $ 19,005  
Undistributed Long-Term Capital Gain     165,518  
Other Temporary Differences     (6 )
Unrealized Appreciation     212,554  
Total Distributable Earnings   $ 397,071  

 

The fund has no capital loss carryforwards at October, 31, 2025.

 

During the year ended October 31, 2025, no capital loss carryforwards were utilized to offset capital gains.

 

The total cost of securities for Federal income tax purposes and the aggregate gross unrealized appreciation and depreciation on investments held by the Fund at October 31, 2025, were as follows (000):

 

Federal

Tax Cost

   

Aggregated

Gross Unrealized

Appreciation

   

Aggregated

Gross Unrealized

Depreciation

   

Net Unrealized

Appreciation

 
$ 926,215     $ 295,480     $ (82,926 )   $ 212,554  

 

For Federal income tax purposes the difference between Federal tax cost and book cost primarily relates to wash sales.

 

8. Concentration of Risks:

 

Since the Fund purchases equity securities, the Fund is 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 Fund’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. These factors contribute to price volatility, which is the principal risk of investing in the Fund.

 

Markets for securities in which the Fund invests may decline significantly in response to adverse issuer, political, regulatory, market, economic or other developments that may cause broad changes in market value, public perceptions concerning these developments, and adverse investor sentiment or publicity. Similarly, the impact of any epidemic, pandemic or natural disaster, or widespread fear that such events may occur, could negatively affect the global economy, as well as the economies of individual countries, the financial performance of individual companies and sectors, and the markets in general in significant and unforeseen ways. Any such impact could adversely affect the prices and liquidity of the securities and other instruments in which the Fund invests, which in turn could negatively impact the Fund’s performance and cause losses on your investment in the Fund.

Notes to Financial Statements

 

October 31, 2025

 

The medium- and smaller-capitalization companies in which the Fund may invest may be more vulnerable to adverse business or economic events than larger, more established companies. In particular, investments in these medium- and small-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, medium- and 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.

 

Since the Fund pursues a “value style” of investing, if the 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.

 

Because the Fund may, from time to time, be more heavily invested in particular sectors, the value of its shares may be especially sensitive to factors and economic risks that specifically affect those sectors. As a result, the Fund’s share price may fluctuate more widely

 

9. Concentration of Shareholders:

 

At October 31, 2025, 37% of total shares outstanding for the Institutional Class Shares were held by one record shareholder owning 10% or greater of the aggregate total shares outstanding. At October 31, 2025, 96% of total shares outstanding for the Investor Class Shares were held by one record shareholder owning 10% or greater of the aggregate total shares outstanding. These were comprised mostly of omnibus accounts which were held on behalf of various individual shareholders.

 

10. Indemnifications:

 

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

11. Recent Accounting Pronouncement:

 

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. Fund Management is evaluating the impacts of these changes on the Funds’ financial statements.

 

12. Subsequent Events:

 

The Fund 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 or adjustments were required to the financial statements.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

 

To the Board of Trustees of The Advisors’ Inner Circle Fund and the Shareholders of LSV Value Equity Fund

 

Opinion on the Financial Statements

 

We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities of LSV Value Equity Fund (the “Fund”) (one of the funds constituting The Advisors’ Inner Circle Fund (the “Trust”)), including the schedule of investments, as of October 31, 2025, and the related statement of operations for 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 five 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 (one of the funds constituting The Advisors’ Inner Circle Fund) at October 31, 2025, the results of its operations for the year then ended, the changes in its net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended and its financial highlights for each of the five years in the period then ended, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

 

Basis for Opinion

 

These financial statements are the responsibility of the Trust’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 Trust 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 audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Trust is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of the Trust’s internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audits, we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Trust’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.

 

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, brokers and others; when replies were not received from brokers and others, 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.

 

 

We have served as the auditor of one or more LSV Asset Management investment companies since 2005.
