Management’s Discussion of Fund Performance
The Pacific Capital Tax-Free Securities Fund returned 6.27% (gross of fees) over the trailing one-year period, outperforming the Bloomberg Hawaii Municipal Bond Index’s 6.13% return. Market yields have increased recently due to geopolitical tensions and rising oil prices, alongside a shift in Federal Reserve rate expectations from cuts to increases to combat inflation, contributing to market volatility. Performance attribution shows that an overweight in longer maturities positively impacted returns, benefiting from a steeper municipal maturity curve and higher tax-equivalent yields, while underperformance was linked to a higher quality bias in Hawaii-based credit.
Fund Performance
The following is a comparison of the change in value of a $10,000 investment in Pacific Capital Tax-Free Securities Fund’s Class Y vs. the Bloomberg Municipal Bond Index and the Bloomberg Hawaii Municipal Bond Index.

Credit quality ratings are primarily sourced from Moody’s but in the event that Moody’s has not assigned a rating, the Fund will use S&P or Fitch. If these ratings are in conflict, S&P will be used before Fitch. If none of the major rating agencies have assigned a rating, the Fund will assign a rating of NR (non-rated security). The ratings represent their (Moody’s, S&P, and Fitch) opinions as to the quality of the underlying securities in the Fund, and not the Fund itself. The ratings range from AAA (extremely strong capacity to meet financial commitment) to D (in default). Ratings are relative and subjective and are not absolute standards of quality. A pre-refunded bond (if any) is secured by an escrow fund of U.S. government obligations (i.e., Treasury securities) and assumes the superior credit rating of the government obligation. The ratings do not predict performance and are subject to change.
Material Fund Changes During the Period
On December 2, 2025, the Fund’s Board of Trustees approved the reorganization of the Pacific Capital Tax-Free Short Intermediate Securities Fund into the Fund (the “Reorganization”). The Reorganization took place after the close of business on March 20, 2026. Immediately prior to the Reorganization, the Pacific Capital Tax-Free Short Intermediate Securities Fund’s Class Y Shares outstanding were exchanged for the Class Y Shares of the Fund.
Changes in and Disagreements with Accountants
There were no changes in and/or disagreements with accountants.

Your instructions will typically be effective within 30 days of receipt by the Fund or your financial intermediary.

PACIFIC CAPITAL TAX-FREE SECURITIES FUND
Notes to Financial Statements
April 30, 2026
1. Organization and Significant Accounting Policies
The Pacific Capital Tax-Free Securities Fund (the “Fund”) is a non-diversified, open-end management investment company registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”). The Fund is a separate series of FundVantage Trust (the “Trust”) which was organized as a Delaware statutory trust on August 28, 2006. The Trust is a “series trust” authorized to issue an unlimited number of separate series or classes of shares of beneficial interest. Each series is treated as a separate entity for certain matters under the 1940 Act, and for other purposes, and a shareholder of one series is not deemed to be a shareholder of any other series. The Fund is authorized to issue and offer Class Y shares.
The Fund is an investment company and follow accounting and reporting guidance in the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 946.
Portfolio Valuation — The Fund’s net asset value (“NAV”) is calculated once daily at the close of regular trading hours on the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) (typically 4:00 p.m. Eastern time) on each day the NYSE is open. Fixed income securities having a remaining maturity of greater than 60 days are valued using an independent pricing service. Fixed income securities having a remaining maturity of 60 days or less are generally valued at amortized cost, provided such amount approximates fair value. Debt securities are valued on the basis of broker quotations or valuations provided by a pricing service, which utilizes information with respect to recent sales, market transactions in comparable securities, quotations from dealers, and various relationships between securities in determining value. Valuations developed through pricing techniques may materially vary from the actual amounts realized upon sale of the securities. Investments in other open-end investment companies are valued based on the NAV of such investment companies (which may use fair value pricing as discussed in their prospectuses). Securities that do not have a readily available current market value are valued in good faith by the Adviser as “valuation designee” under the oversight of the Board of Trustees of the Trust (“Board of Trustees”). Relying on prices supplied by pricing services or dealers or using fair valuation may result in values that are higher or lower than the values used by other investment companies and investors to price the same investments. The Adviser has adopted written policies and procedures for valuing securities and other assets in circumstances where market quotes are not readily available. In the event that market quotes are not readily available, and the security or asset cannot be valued pursuant to one of the valuation methods, the value of the security or asset will be determined in good faith by the Adviser pursuant to its policies and procedures. On a quarterly basis, the Adviser’s fair valuation determinations will be reviewed by the Board of Trustees.
Fair Value Measurements — The inputs and valuation techniques used to measure fair value of the Fund’s investments are summarized into three levels as described in the hierarchy below:
• Level 1 — unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical securities;
• Level 2 — other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.); and
• Level 3 — significant unobservable inputs (including the Adviser’s own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments).
The fair value of the Fund's bonds is generally based on quotes received from brokers or independent pricing services. Bonds with quotes that are based on actual trades with a sufficient level of activity on or near the measurement date are classified as Level 2 assets.
The inputs or methodology used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities. Transfers in and out are recognized at the value at the end of the period.

At the end of each quarter, management evaluates the classification of Levels 1, 2 and 3 assets and liabilities. Various factors are considered, such as changes in liquidity from the prior reporting period; whether or not a broker is willing to execute at the quoted price; the depth and consistency of prices from third-party pricing services; and the existence of contemporaneous, observable trades in the market. Additionally, management evaluates the classification of Level 1 and Level 2 assets and liabilities on a quarterly basis for changes in listings or delistings on national exchanges.
Due to the inherent uncertainty of determining the fair value of investments that do not have a readily available market value, the fair value of the Fund’s investments may fluctuate from period to period. Additionally, the fair value of investments may differ significantly from the values that would have been used had a ready market existed for such investments and may differ materially from the values the Fund may ultimately realize. Further, such investments may be subject to legal and other restrictions on resale or otherwise less liquid than publicly traded securities.
For fair valuations using significant unobservable inputs, U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”) require the Fund to present a reconciliation of the beginning to ending balances for reported market values that present changes attributable to total realized and unrealized gains or losses, purchase and sales, and transfers in and out of Level 3 during the period. A reconciliation of Level 3 investments is presented only when the Fund had an amount of Level 3 investments at the end of the reporting period that was meaningful in relation to their net assets. The amounts and reasons for all transfers in and out of Level 3 are disclosed when the Fund had an amount of transfers during the reporting period that was meaningful in relation to their net assets as of the end of the reporting period.
For the year ended April 30, 2026, there were no transfers in or out of Level 3.
Use of Estimates — The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the period. Actual results could differ from those estimates and those differences could be material.
Investment Transactions, Investment Income and Expenses — Investment transactions are recorded on trade date for financial statement preparation purposes. Realized gains and losses on investments sold are recorded on the identified cost basis. Interest income is recorded on the accrual basis. Accretion of discounts and amortization of premiums are recorded on a daily basis using the effective yield method except for short term securities, which records discounts and premiums on a straight-line basis. Dividends are recorded on the ex-dividend date. General expenses of the Trust are generally allocated to each fund under methodologies approved by the Board of Trustees. Expenses directly attributable to a particular fund in the Trust are charged directly to that fund.
Dividends and Distributions to Shareholders — Dividends from net investment income for the Fund are declared daily and paid monthly to shareholders. Distributions, if any, of net short-term capital gain and net capital gain (the excess of net long-term capital gain over the short-term capital loss) realized by the Fund, after deducting any available capital loss carryovers are declared and paid to its shareholders annually. Income dividends and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance with U.S. federal income tax regulations, which may differ from U.S. GAAP.
PACIFIC CAPITAL TAX-FREE SECURITIES FUND
Notes to Financial Statements (Continued)
April 30, 2026
U.S. Tax Status — No provision is made for U.S. income taxes as it is the Fund’s intention to continue to qualify for and elect the tax treatment applicable to regulated investment companies under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (“Internal Revenue Code”), and make the requisite distributions to its shareholders which will be sufficient to relieve it from U.S. income and excise taxes.
Other — In the normal course of business, the Fund may enter into contracts that provide general indemnifications. The Fund’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is dependent on claims that may be made against the Fund in the future, and therefore, cannot be estimated; however, based on experience, the risk of material loss for such claims is considered remote.
Segment Reporting — In accordance with the FASB Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2023-07, Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures, the Fund has evaluated its business activities and determined that it operates as a single reportable segment.
The Chief Operating Decision Maker (“CODM”) is the Investment Adviser Oversight Committee at the Adviser, the Principal Executive Officer (“PEO”) and the Principal Financial Officer (“PFO”) of the Fund. The CODM has concluded that the Fund operates as a single operating segment since the Fund has a single investment strategy as disclosed in its prospectus, against which the CODM assesses performance. The financial information provided to and reviewed by the CODM is presented within the Fund’s financial statements.
Income Taxes — The Fund adopted FASB Accounting Standards Update 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740) – Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures (“ASU 2023-09”), which enhances income tax disclosures, including disclosure of income taxes paid disaggregated by jurisdiction. Management has reviewed the impact of the new standard and concludes there is no material impact to the Fund’s financial position or the results of its operations as of April 30, 2026; and therefore, no additional related disclosures were included in these financial statements.
2. Transactions with Related Parties and Other Service Providers
Investment advisory services are provided to the Fund by the Asset Management Group of Bank of Hawaii (the “Adviser”). Under terms of an advisory agreement, the Fund is charged an annual fee of 0.20% which is computed daily and paid monthly based upon average daily net assets. The Adviser has contractually agreed to waive its advisory fee (the “Waiver”). The Waiver will remain in effect until August 31, 2027. The Waiver may not be terminated at any time prior to that date without the consent of the Board of Trustees of FundVantage Trust (the “Trust”). While the Adviser is currently waiving its entire investment advisory fee, investors who invest in the Fund through a bank trust account may be subject to account level fees applicable to such amount charged by affiliates of the Adviser, including Bank of Hawaii’s Trust Services Group.
Fee rates for the year ended April 30, 2026, were as follows:
| |

5. Federal Tax Information
The Fund has followed the authoritative guidance on accounting for and disclosure of uncertainty in tax positions, which requires the Fund to determine whether a tax position is more likely than not to be sustained upon examination, including resolution of any related appeals or litigation processes, based on the technical merits of the position. The Fund has determined that there was no effect on the financial statements from following this authoritative guidance. In the normal course of business, the Fund is subject to examination by federal, state and local jurisdictions, where applicable, for tax years for which applicable statutes of limitations have not expired.
Distributions are determined in accordance with federal income tax regulations, which may differ in amount or character from net investment income and realized gains for financial reporting purposes. Accordingly, the character of distributions and composition of net assets for tax purposes may differ from those reflected in the accompanying financial statements. To the extent these differences are permanent, such amounts are reclassified within the components of net assets based on the tax treatment; temporary differences do not require reclassifications. For the year ended April 30, 2026, these adjustments were to increase paid-in capital by $1,131,581 and decrease total distributable earnings by $1,131,581. These permanent differences were primarily attributable to wash sales and capital loss carryforwards from the Fund’s merger with the Pacific Capital Tax-Free Short Intermediate Securities Fund. Net assets were not affected by these adjustments.
The tax character of distributions paid during the year ended April 30, 2026, were as follows:

Tax Exempt Distributions |

Pursuant to federal income tax rules applicable to regulated investment companies, the Fund may elect to treat certain capital losses between November 1 and April 30 and late year ordinary losses ((i) ordinary losses between January 1 and April 30, and (ii) specified ordinary and currency losses between November 1 and April 30) as occurring on the first day of the following tax year. For the year ended April 30, 2026, any amount of losses elected within the tax return will not be recognized for federal income tax purposes until May 1, 2026. For the year ended April 30, 2025, the Fund did not have late year ordinary loss deferrals and capital loss deferrals.
Accumulated capital losses represent net capital loss carryforwards as of April 30, 2026 that may be available to offset future realized capital gains and thereby reduce future capital gains distributions. The Fund’s capital loss carryforwards from the merger with the Pacific Capital Tax-Free Short Intermediate Securities Fund on March 20, 2026 are subject to limitations under the rules of Internal Revenue Codes Section §381-§384 (See Note 8). As of April 30, 2026, the Fund's capital loss carryforwards, which were comprised of both short-term losses and long-term losses, and had an unlimited period of capital loss carryforwards were as follows:

6. Concentration of Credit Risk
The Fund primarily invests in debt obligations issued by the state of Hawaii and its political subdivisions, agencies, and public authorities to obtain funds for various public purposes. The Fund is more susceptible to factors adversely affecting issues of Hawaii municipal securities than a municipal bond fund that is not concentrated in these issuers to the same extent.
7. Debt Investment Risk
Debt investments are affected primarily by the financial condition of the companies or other entities that have issued them and by changes in interest rates. There is a risk that an issuer of the Fund’s debt investments may not be able to meet its financial obligations (e.g., may not be able to make principal and/or interest payments when they are due or otherwise default on other financial terms) and/or go bankrupt. Securities such as high-yield/high-risk bonds, e.g., bonds with low credit ratings by Moody’s (Ba or lower) or Standard & Poor’s (BB and lower) or if unrated are of comparable quality as determined by the manager, are especially subject to credit risk during periods of economic uncertainty or during economic downturns and are more likely to default on their interest and/or principal payments than higher rated securities. Debt investments may be affected by changes in interest rates. Debt investments with
PACIFIC CAPITAL TAX-FREE SECURITIES FUND
Notes to Financial Statements (Concluded)
April 30, 2026
longer durations tend to be more sensitive to changes in interest rates, making them more volatile than debt investments with shorter durations or floating or adjustable interest rates. The value of debt investments may fall when interest rates rise.
8. Fund Merger
On December 2, 2025, the Board of Trustees approved the reorganization of the Pacific Capital Tax-Free Short Intermediate Securities Fund into the Pacific Capital Tax-Free Securities Fund (the “Reorganization”). The Reorganization took place after the close of business on March 20, 2026.
Immediately prior to the reorganization, the Pacific Capital Tax-Free Short Intermediate Securities Fund’s Class Y Shares outstanding were exchanged for the Class Y Shares of the Pacific Capital Tax-Free Securities Fund. The following is a summary of shares outstanding, net assets and net asset value per share for these Funds before and after the Reorganization took place after the close of business on March 20, 2026:

Assuming this reorganization had been completed on May 1, 2025, the Pacific Capital Tax-Free Securities Fund’s results of operations for the year ended April 30, 2026, would have been as follows:
| Net investment income |
$9,692,266 |
| Net realized and change in unrealized gains (losses) on investments |
$7,459,862 |
| Net increase in asset from operations |
$17,152,128 |
Because the combined portfolios of investments have been managed as a single portfolio since the Reorganization was completed, it is not practical to separate the amounts of revenue and earnings to the Pacific Capital Tax-Free Securities Fund that have been included in its Statement of Operations since the Reorganization.
9. Subsequent Events
Management has evaluated the impact of all subsequent events on the Fund through the date the financial statements were issued, and has determined that there are no subsequent events requiring recognition or disclosure in the financial statements.
PACIFIC CAPITAL TAX-FREE SECURITIES FUND
Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
To the Board of Trustees of FundVantage Trust and Shareholders of Pacific Capital Tax-Free Securities Fund
Opinion on the Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities, including the portfolio of investments, of Pacific Capital Tax-Free Securities Fund (one of the funds constituting FundVantage Trust, referred to hereafter as the “Fund”) as of April 30, 2026, the related statement of operations for the year ended April 30, 2026, the statements of changes in net assets for each of the two years in the period ended April 30, 2026, including the related notes, and the financial highlights for each of the five years in the period ended April 30, 2026 (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 April 30, 2026, 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 ended April 30, 2026 and the financial highlights for each of the five years in the period ended April 30, 2026 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
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 of these financial statements 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.
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 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. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of April 30, 2026 by correspondence with the custodian and transfer agent. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

Dividends from net investment income and short-term capital gains are treated as ordinary income dividends for federal income tax purposes.
The percentage of qualified interest income related dividends not subject to withholding tax for non-resident aliens and foreign corporations for the Fund is 2.46%.
All designations are based on financial information available as of the date of this annual report and, accordingly, are subject to change. For each item, it is the intention of the Fund to designate the maximum amount permitted under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and the regulations thereunder.
Because the Fund’s fiscal year is not the calendar year, another notification will be sent with respect to calendar year 2026. The second notification, which will reflect the amount, if any, to be used by calendar year taxpayers on their U.S. federal income tax returns, will be made in conjunction with Form 1099-DIV and will be mailed in January 2027.
Foreign shareholders will generally be subject to U.S. withholding tax on the amount of their ordinary income dividends. They will generally not be entitled to a foreign tax credit or deduction for the withholding taxes paid by the Fund, if any.
In general, dividends received by tax-exempt recipients (e.g., IRAs and Keoghs) need not be reported as taxable income for U.S. federal income tax purposes. However, some retirement trusts (e.g., corporate, Keogh and 403(b)(7) plans) may need this information for their annual information reporting.
Shareholders are advised to consult their own tax advisers with respect to the tax consequences of their investment in the Fund.

Item 11. Statement Regarding Basis for Approval of Investment Advisory Contract.
At an in-person meeting held on March 9-10, 2026 (the “Meeting”), the Board of Trustees (the “Board” or the “Trustees”) of FundVantage Trust (the “Trust”), including a majority of the Trustees who are not “interested persons” within the meaning of Section 2(a)(19) of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”) (the “Independent Trustees”), unanimously approved the continuation of the Investment Advisory Agreement between the Asset Management Group of Bank of Hawaii (“AMG of BOH” or the “Adviser”) and the Trust (the “Agreement”) on behalf of the Pacific Capital Tax-Free Securities Fund (“Pacific Capital TF Fund”), Pacific Capital Tax-Free Short Intermediate Securities Fund (“Pacific Capital TFSI Fund”) and Pacific Capital U.S. Government Money Market Fund (“Pacific Capital MMF”) (together the “Pacific Capital Funds”). At the Meeting, the Board considered the continuation of the Agreement with respect to each Fund for an additional one-year period.
In determining whether to continue the Pacific Capital Funds Agreement for an additional one-year period, the Trustees, including the Independent Trustees, considered information provided by AMG of BOH in response to a request for information in accordance with Section 15(c) of the 1940 Act (the “AMG of BOH 15(c) Response”) regarding (i) the services performed by AMG of BOH for the Pacific Capital Funds, (ii) the composition and qualifications of AMG of BOH’s portfolio management staff, (iii) any potential or actual material conflicts of interest which may arise in connection with the management of the Pacific Capital Funds, (iv) investment performance, (v) the financial condition of Bank of Hawaii, of which AMG of BOH is a separately identifiable department thereof, (vi) brokerage selection procedures (including soft dollar arrangements, if any), (vii) the procedures for allocating investment opportunities between the Pacific Capital Funds and other clients, (viii) results of any independent audit or regulatory examination, including any recommendations or deficiencies noted, (ix) any litigation, investigation or administrative proceeding which may have a material impact on AMG of BOH’s ability to service the Pacific Capital Funds, and (x) compliance with the Pacific Capital Funds’ investment objectives, policies and practices (including codes of ethics and proxy voting policies), federal securities laws and other regulatory requirements. In addition to the information in the AMG of BOH 15(c) Response, the Trustees received additional information at Board meetings throughout the year covering matters such as the performance of each Pacific Capital Fund compared to its Refinitiv category and its benchmark; compliance with the Pacific Capital Funds’ investment objectives, policies, strategies and limitations; the compliance of portfolio management personnel with applicable codes of ethics; and AMG of BOH’s adherence to pricing procedures as established by the Board.
The Board considered additional information provided by representatives from AMG of BOH invited to participate in the Meeting regarding AMG of BOH’s history, performance, investment strategy, and compliance program. Representatives of AMG of BOH responded to questions from the Board. In addition to the foregoing information, the Trustees also considered other factors they believed to be relevant to considering the continuation of the Agreement, including the matters discussed below. In their deliberations, the Trustees did not identify any particular information that was controlling, and different Trustees may have attributed different weights to the various factors. After deliberating, the Trustees determined that the overall arrangement between the Pacific Capital Funds and AMG of BOH, as provided by the terms of the Agreement, including the advisory fees under the Agreement, were fair and reasonable in light of the services provided, expenses incurred and such other matters as the Trustees considered relevant.
PACIFIC CAPITAL TAX-FREE SECURITIES FUND
Other Information (Continued)
(Unaudited)
Based on the AMG of BOH 15(c) Response, the Trustees concluded that (i) the nature, extent and quality of the services provided by AMG of BOH are appropriate and consistent with the terms of the Agreement, (ii) that the quality of those services has been, and continues to be, consistent with industry norms, (iii) the Pacific Capital Funds are likely to benefit from the provision of those services, (iv) AMG of BOH has sufficient personnel, with the appropriate skills and experience, to serve the Pacific Capital Funds effectively and has demonstrated its continuing ability to attract and retain qualified personnel, and (v) the satisfactory nature, extent, and quality of services currently provided to the Pacific Capital Funds is likely to continue under the Agreement.
The Trustees considered the investment performance for the Pacific Capital Funds (as applicable) and AMG of BOH. The Trustees reviewed historical performance charts which showed the performance of the Pacific Capital Funds as compared to their respective benchmark indices and Refinitive categories for the one-year, three-year, five-year and ten-year periods ended December 31, 2025, as applicable. The Trustees considered the short-term and long-term performance of the Pacific Capital Funds, as applicable. The Trustees noted that they also considered performance reports provided at Board meetings throughout the year.
Pacific Capital Tax-Free Securities Fund. The Trustees noted that the Pacific Capital TF Fund’s Class Y shares outperformed the Bloomberg Hawaii Index for the one-year, three-year and five-year periods ended December 31, 2025, and underperformed for the ten-year period ended December 31, 2025. They further noted that the Pacific Capital TF Fund’s Class Y shares outperformed the Refinitiv Other States Intermediate Municipal Debt Funds Median for the one-year, three-year, five-year and ten-year periods ended December 31, 2025.
Pacific Capital Tax-Free Short Intermediate Securities Fund. The Trustees noted that the Pacific Capital TFSI Fund’s Class Y shares outperformed the Bloomberg 3 Year Hawaii Municipal Index for the one-year, three-year, five-year and ten-year periods ended December 31, 2025. They further noted that the Pacific Capital TFSI Fund’s Class Y shares outperformed or was on par with the Refinitiv Other States Short-Intermediate Municipal Debt Funds Median for the one-year and five-year periods ended December 31, 2025, and underperformed for the three-year and ten-year periods ended December 31, 2025.
Pacific Capital U.S. Government Money Market Fund. The Trustees noted that the Pacific Capital MMF Fund had ceased operations during the period ended December 31, 2022 and therefore did not have relevant performance information to compare.
The Trustees concluded that the performance of each of the Pacific Capital Funds, as applicable, was within an acceptable range of performance relative to other mutual funds with similar investment objectives, strategies and policies based on the information provided at the Meeting. The Trustees noted that the representatives of AMG of BOH had provided information regarding its advisory fees and an analysis of these fees in relation to the services provided to the Pacific Capital Funds and any other ancillary benefit resulting from AMG of BOH’s relationship with the Pacific Capital Funds.
The Trustees also considered information regarding the fees AMG of BOH charges to certain other clients and evaluated explanations provided by AMG of BOH as to differences in fees charged to the Pacific Capital Funds and other similarly managed accounts, where applicable.
The Trustees also reviewed a peer comparison of advisory fees and total expenses for the Pacific Capital Funds versus other funds in the Pacific Capital Fund’s applicable Refinitiv category (the “Peer Group”). The Trustees concluded that the advisory fees and services provided by AMG of BOH are consistent with those of other advisers that manage mutual funds with investment objectives, strategies and policies similar to those of the Pacific Capital Funds as measured by the information provided by AMG of BOH.
The Board considered, among other data, the specific factors and related conclusion set forth below with respect to the Pacific Capital Funds:
Pacific Capital Tax-Free Securities Fund. The Trustees noted that the contractual advisory fee and net total expense ratio for the Pacific Capital TF Fund’s Class Y shares were lower than the median of the contractual advisory fee and net total expense ratio for those funds in its Peer Group.

Pacific Capital Tax-Free Short Intermediate Securities Fund. The Trustees noted that the contractual advisory fee and net total expense ratio for the Pacific Capital TFSI Fund’s Class Y shares were lower than the median of the contractual advisory fee and net total expense ratio for those funds in its Peer Group.
Pacific Capital U.S. Government Money Market Fund. The Trustees noted that the Pacific Capital MMF Fund had ceased operations during the period ended December 31, 2022 and therefore did not have relevant fee and expense information to compare.
The Trustees considered the costs of the services provided by AMG of BOH, the compensation and benefits received by AMG of BOH in providing services to the Pacific Capital Funds, the profitability and certain additional information related to the financial condition of Bank of Hawaii, of which AMG of BOH is a separately identifiable department thereof. In addition, the Trustees considered any direct or indirect revenues received by affiliates of AMG of BOH.
The Trustees considered the extent to which economies of scale would be realized relative to fee levels as the Pacific Capital Funds grow, and whether the advisory fee levels reflect those economies of scale for the benefit of shareholders. The Trustees considered and determined that economies of scale for the benefit of shareholders should be achieved if assets of the Pacific Capital Funds increase because fixed expenses will be spread across a larger asset base. The Trustees also noted that the Pacific Capital Funds’ advisory fees do not include “breakpoint” reductions in the advisory fee rates at specific asset levels but that AMG of BOH has contractually agreed to waive fees and/or reimburse certain expenses of the Pacific Capital Funds for the benefit of shareholders.
At the Meeting, after consideration of all the factors and taking into consideration the information presented, the Board, including the Independent Trustees, unanimously approved the continuation of the Pacific Capital Funds Agreement for an additional one-year period. In arriving at their decision, the Trustees did not identify any single factor as controlling, but made their determination in light of the information presented to them.
