Profile
The Cambiar International Equity Fund is a diversified portfolio that invests primarily in large-cap companies based outside of the U.S. The starting universe for the Fund includes any international company with a market cap primarily above $5 billion. Cambiar’s quality and value bias will result in a portfolio overweight to developed markets, and subsequent underweight in emerging markets.
Portfolio Construction:
- Typically 40-50 International stocks
- Country Limit: 25%
- Emerging Markets Limit: 15%
Diversification does not ensure a profit or guarantee against a loss.

Performance
Returns greater than 1 year are annualized. The performance data quoted represents past performance and does not guarantee future results. The investment return and principal value of an investment will fluctuate so that an investor’s shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost and current performance may be lower or higher than the performance quoted. For performance current to the most recent month-end, please call 1-866-777-8227.
Returns assume reinvestment of all dividend and capital gains distributions. The performance data quoted for periods prior to September 9, 2002 is that of the Cambiar International Equity Trust, a similarly managed Fund. This Fund was not registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940. If the Fund had been registered, performance may have been lower. Investor Share Class: Expense ratio is 1.25% (gross); 0.99% (net). Cambiar Investors, LLC has contractually agreed to reduce fees and reimburse expenses in order to keep net operating expenses from exceeding 0.90% of the average daily net assets of each of the Fund’s share classes until March 1, 2025. Absent these waivers, total return would be reduced. MSCI EAFE Index (Europe, Australasia, Far East) is a free float-adjusted market capitalization index that is designed to measure developed market equity performance, excluding the U.S. & Canada. The index is unmanaged and one cannot invest directly in an index.
The Fund charges a 2.00% redemption fee on redemptions of shares held for less than 90 days.

RISK DISCLOSURE
Mutual fund investing involves risk, including the possible loss of principal. In addition to the normal risks associated with investing, investments in international investments may involve risk of capital loss from unfavorable fluctuation in currency values, from differences in generally accepted accounting principles or from economic or political instability in other nations. Emerging markets involved heightened risks related to the same factors as well as increased volatility and lower trading volume. The Cambiar International Equity Fund may invest in derivatives, which are often more volatile than other investments and may magnify the Fund’s gains or losses. There can be no assurance that the Fund will achieve its stated objectives.
To determine if a Fund is an appropriate investment for you, carefully consider the Fund’s investment objectives, risk factors and charges and expenses before investing. This and other information can be found in the Fund’s summary or statutory prospectus which can be obtained by clicking here or calling 1-866-777-8227. Please read it carefully before investing.

The Morningstar RatingTM for funds, or “star rating”, is calculated for managed products (including mutual funds, variable annuity, and variable life subaccounts, exchange-traded funds, closed-end funds, and separate accounts) with at least a three-year history. Exchange-traded funds and open-ended mutual funds are considered a single population for comparative purposes. It is calculated based on a Morningstar Risk-Adjusted Return measure that accounts for variation in a managed product’s monthly excess performance, placing more emphasis on downward variations and rewarding consistent performance. The Morningstar Rating does not include any adjustment for sales loads. The top 10% of products in each product category receive 5 stars, the next 22.5% receive 4 stars, the next 35% receive 3 stars, the next 22.5% receive 2 stars, and the bottom 10% receive 1 star. The Overall Morningstar Rating for a managed product is derived from a weighted average of the performance figures associated with its three-, five-, and 10-year (if applicable) Morningstar Rating metrics. The weights are: 100% three-year rating for 36-59 months of total returns, 60% five-year rating/40% three-year rating for 60-119 months of total returns, and 50% 10-year rating/30% five-year rating/20% three-year rating for 120 or more months of total returns. While the 10-year overall star rating formula seems to give the most weight to the 10-year period, the most recent three-year period actually has the greatest impact because it is included in all three rating periods. CAMIX was rated against 667 Foreign Large Blend funds over a three-year period, 629 over a five-year period, and 422 over a ten-year period. With respect to these Foreign Large Blend funds, CAMIX received a rating of 2 stars, 1 stars, and 1 stars respectively. Past performance is no guarantee of future results. Morningstar Rating is for the investor share class only; other classes may have different performance characteristics.
Definitions:
Active Share – A measure of the percentage of stock holdings in a manager’s portfolio that differ from the benchmark index. calculated by taking the sum of the absolute value of the differences of the weight of each holding in the manager\’s portfolio versus the weight of each holding in the benchmark index and dividing by two.
EBITDA – Earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization. EBITDA is one indicator of a company’s financial performance and is used as a proxy for the earning potential of a business.
Market Cap – Refers the total dollar market value of a company’s outstanding shares. Commonly referred to as “market cap,” it is calculated by multiplying a company’s shares outstanding by the current market price of one share.
Median – The median is the middle number in a sorted, ascending or descending, list of numbers and can be more descriptive of that data set than the average.
Net Debt to EBITDA – A leverage ratio calculated as a company’s interest-bearing liabilities minus cash or cash equivalents, divided by its EBITDA.
Price to Book (P/B) – A ratio used to compare a stock’s market value to its book value. It is calculated by dividing the current closing price of the stock by the latest quarter’s book value per share.
Price to Earnings (P/E) – The ratio for valuing a company that measures its current share price relative to its per-share earnings.
Return on Assets (ROA) – An indicator of how profitable a company is relative to its total assets, calculated by dividing net income by total assets.
Return on Equity (ROE) – A measure of financial performance calculated by dividing net income by common shareholders’ equity. Because shareholders’ equity is equal to a company’s assets minus its debt, ROE is considered the return on net assets. ROE is considered a measure of how effectively management is using a company’s assets to create profits. 5-Year average is used for this metric.
Return on Invested Capital (ROIC) – A calculation used to assess a company’s efficiency at allocating the capital under its control to profitable investments. The return on invested capital ratio gives a sense of how well a company is using its money to generate returns.
Weighted Average – An average in which each quantity to be averaged is assigned a weight, and these weightings determine the relative importance of each quantity on the average.
