O’Shaughnessy Market Leaders Value Fund

Market Leaders Value Fund

For the fiscal year ended July 31, 2021, the O’Shaughnessy Market Leaders Value Fund (the “Market Leaders Value Fund”) outperformed, with Class I shares returning 50.66%, while the Fund’s Russell 1000^® Value Index benchmark returned 39.32% in the same period.

Having a lower exposure to mega cap stocks than the benchmark aided the strategy by 7.81%. We measure the impact of our focus on the top decile of stocks by Shareholder Yield, which added 6.97%. From the top decile of Shareholder Yield, we eliminate low quality stocks. This detracted -5.22% from relative returns. Finally, our portfolio construction methodology, which seeks to own more of stocks qualifying more frequently, recently, and with the highest overall factor profile added 1.78%.

Within allocation effects, an underweight to Utilities and overweight to Financials aided performance. An underweight to Energy detracted from returns. Selection within Health Care and Consumer Discretionary were the largest contributors to performance, while selection within Communication Services and Information Technology were the largest detractors.

The Market Leaders Value Fund benefitted from holdings in Seagate Technology Holdings PLC, HCA Healthcare, Inc., and United Rentals, Inc. Positions in Western Union Co., Citrix Systems, Inc., and Electronic Arts, Inc. detracted from performance. An underweight to Amazon.com, Inc. aided returns, while having no exposure to Tesla, Inc. detracted.

Based on our key themes, we attempt to position the strategy with strong and consistent characteristic advantages versus its benchmark and relative to the overall market. Portfolio positions generally have higher levels of return on capital, lower reliance on external financing, and trade at deep discounts across a number of valuation factors.

Outlook

Stocks deliver returns to shareholders over time based on three drivers—ability to grow their business, expansion of their price multiple, and prudent capital allocation practices like returning capital to shareholders.

We view share buybacks as one of many levers that management teams can use to allocate capital. Within Shareholder Yield, buybacks sit side-by-side with dividend yield, another mechanism for return capital.

We acknowledge that all companies executing buybacks are not created equally, and some firms should likely not be returning cash. We believe these firms will likely go on to underperform, and our process is designed to exclude such stocks from our portfolio.

We focus on a subset of firms returning capital to shareholders at super-normal rates, as this tends to be indicative of management’s conviction in the underlying business. Our quality screens further attempt to exclude firms executing buybacks for the wrong reasons—performing debt for equity swaps and manipulating earnings per share.

When the combination of buybacks and dividends are paired with assessments of valuation and business quality, we believe the portfolio narrows in on a set of businesses with conservative accounting practices that are indicative of strong cash generation, low reliance on outside sources of capital, and that are generating good cash returns on businesses.

Our Shareholder Yield signal has always been viewed on a trailing twelve-month basis. In other words, dividends and buybacks that have actually been executed. We do this because companies with strong Shareholder Yield experience positive excess returns over the following 12-18 months on average, even after the buyback programs have run their course.

As of July 31st, the Fund’s holdings showed significantly higher earnings growth than the benchmark, yet with opportunities for multiple expansion at approximate discounts of 20% (based on sales and earnings). Additionally, our holdings have almost 2x the free cashflow yield and have the kind of disciplined management teams that have been returning capital to shareholders at super-normal rates.

Because we build portfolios from the bottom up using time-tested screening “factors,” we think about performance through the lens of factors first, and individual stocks and industries second. The stocks and industries where we have active exposures are a result of the factors themselves, so in some sense they measure the effects of factor combinations that we believe to be beneficial over the long term.

O’Shaughnessy Market Leaders Value Fund

Our research leads us to believe that market leadership is cyclical, but that valuation, momentum, and yield are incredibly effective individual selection factors given a three- to five-year time horizon.

We believe that maintaining a portfolio of stocks trading at discounted valuations, possess reasonable quality, decent momentum, and high yields are a better defense against the herculean task of market timing.

Past performance does not guarantee future results.

Opinions expressed are subject to change at any time, are not guaranteed and should not be considered investment advice.

Investments in foreign securities involve political, economic and currency risks, greater volatility, and differences in accounting methods. Emerging markets countries involve greater risks, such as immature economic structures, national policies restricting investments by foreigners, and different legal systems. Such risks may be magnified with respect to securities of issuers in frontier emerging markets. Real estate investment trusts and foreign real estate companies may be less diversified than other pools of securities, may have lower trading volumes and may be subject to more abrupt and erratic price movements than the overall securities markets. Investments in small-and medium-capitalization companies tend to have limited liquidity and greater price volatility than large-capitalization companies. Risks of derivatives include the possible imperfect correlation between the value of instruments and the underlying assets; risks of default by the other party to the transaction; risks that the transactions may result in losses that partially or completely offset gains in portfolio positions; and risks that instruments may not be liquid. The Market Leaders Value Fund may experience higher fees and is subject to additional risks due to investments in other investment companies (including ETFs).

Fund holdings and sector allocations are subject to change at any time and are not recommendations to buy or sell any security. Please read the Schedule of Investments for a complete list of Fund holdings.

The Russell 1000^® Value Index (“Russell 1000”) measures the performance of the large-cap value segment of the U.S. equity universe. It includes those Russell 1000 companies with lower price-to-book ratios and lower expected growth values. You cannot invest directly in an index.

“Dividend yield” is the financial ratio that shows how much a company pays out in dividends each year relative to its share price (equal to most recent dividend payment per share (annualized) divided by price per share).

“Cash Flows” are the net amount of cash and cash-equivalents moving into and out of a business. “Price-to-Earnings Ratio” or “P/E valuation” is a ratio for valuing a company that measures its current share price relative to its per-share earnings (equal to Market Value per Share divided by Earnings per Share).

“Return on capital” (ROC) is a ratio used as a measure of the profitability and value-creating potential of companies after taking into account the amount of initial capital invested. The ratio is calculated by dividing the after-tax operating income by the book value of both debt and equity capital less cash/equivalents.

“Earnings per share” (EPS) is calculated as a company’s profit divided by the outstanding shares of its common stock. The resulting number serves as an indicator of a company’s profitability. The higher a company’s EPS, the more profitable it is considered to be.

Earnings growth is not representative of the Fund’s future performance.

Recent short-term performance is attributable to unusually favorable conditions that are likely not sustainable, and such conditions might not continue to exist.

Expense Example

at July 31, 2021 (Unaudited)

Shareholders in mutual funds generally incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including sales charges (loads) on purchase payments, redemption fees, and exchange fees, and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees, distribution and/or service fees, and other fund expenses. This Example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds. The Example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period (2/1/21 – 7/31/21).

Actual Expenses

The first line of the table below provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You will be assessed fees for outgoing wire transfers, returned checks, and stop payment orders at prevailing rates charged by U.S. Bancorp Fund Services, LLC, the Fund’s transfer agent. The Example below includes, but is not limited to, management fees, fund accounting, custody and transfer agent fees. You may use the information in this line, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the first line under the heading entitled “Expenses Paid During Period” for your fund and class to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.

Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes

The second line of the table below provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Fund’s actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Fund’s actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Fund and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds. Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transaction costs, such as sales charges (loads), redemption fees, or exchange fees. Therefore, the second line of the tables useful in comparing ongoing costs only and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transaction costs were included, your costs would have been higher.

	Beginning	Ending	Expenses Paid
	Account Value	Account Value	During Period*
	2/1/21	7/31/21	2/1/21 – 7/31/21
Actual	$1,000.00	$1,227.00	$2.87
Hypothetical (5% return before expenses)	$1,000.00	$1,022.22	$2.61

*	Expenses are equal to the Fund’s annualized expense ratio of 0.52% for Class I, multiplied by the average account value over the period, multiplied by 181 (days in the most recent fiscal half-year)/365 days to reflect the one-half year expense.

O’Shaughnessy Market Leaders Value Fund

Notes to Financial Statements

at July 31, 2021

NOTE 1 – ORGANIZATION

The O’Shaughnessy Market Leaders Value Fund (the “Fund”) is a series of Advisors Series Trust (the “Trust”), which is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the “1940 Act”), as amended, as an open-end management investment company. The Fund follows the investment company accounting and reporting guidance of the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standard Codification Topic 946 “Financial Services – Investment Companies”. The Fund, which is a diversified fund, began operations on February 26, 2016. The investment objective of the Fund is to seek long-term capital appreciation. The Fund currently offers only Class I shares.

NOTE 2 – SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The following is a summary of significant accounting policies consistently followed by the Fund. These policies are in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

A.	Security Valuation: All investments in securities are recorded at their estimated fair value, as described in note 3.

B.	Federal Income Taxes: It is the Fund’s policy to comply with the requirements of Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code applicable to regulated investment companies and to distribute substantially all of its taxable income to its shareholders. Therefore, no Federal income or excise tax provision is required.

	The Fund recognizes the tax benefits of uncertain tax positions only where the position is “more likely than not” to be sustained assuming examination by tax authorities. The tax returns of the Fund’s prior three fiscal years are open for examination. Management has reviewed all open tax years in major jurisdictions and concluded that there is no impact on the Fund’s net assets and no tax liability resulting from unrecognized tax events relating to uncertain income tax positions taken or expected to be taken on a tax return. The Fund identifies its major tax jurisdictions as U.S. federal and the state of Wisconsin. The Fund is not aware of any tax positions for which it is reasonably possible that the total amounts of unrecognized tax benefits will change materially in the next twelve months.

C.	Security Transactions, Income and Distributions: Security transactions are accounted for on the trade date. Realized gains and losses on securities sold are determined on the basis of identified cost. Interest income is recorded on an accrual basis. Dividend income and distributions to shareholders are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Withholding taxes on foreign dividends have been provided for in accordance with the Fund’s understanding of the applicable country’s tax rules and rates.

	The Fund distributes substantially all net investment income, if any, and net realized gains, if any, annually. Distributions from net realized gains for book purposes may include short-term capital gains. All short-term capital gains are included in ordinary income for tax purposes. The amount of dividends and distributions to shareholders from net investment income and net realized capital gains is determined in accordance with Federal income tax regulations which differ from accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. To the extent these book/tax differences are permanent, such amounts are reclassified within the capital accounts based on their Federal tax treatment.

	Common expenses of the Trust are typically allocated among the funds in the Trust based on a fund’s respective net assets, or by other equitable means.

D.	Reclassification of Capital Accounts: Accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America require that certain components of net assets relating to permanent differences be reclassified between financial and tax reporting. These reclassifications have no effect on net assets or net asset value per share.

	For the year ended July 31, 2021, the Fund made the following permanent tax adjustments on the statement of assets and liabilities:

	Paid-in Capital	Total Distributable Earnings
	$100	$(100)

Use of Estimates: The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of increases and decreases in net assets during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Notes to Financial Statements (Continued)

NOTE 2 – SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)

F.	REITs: The Fund may invest in real estate investment trusts (“REITs”) which pay dividends to their shareholders based upon funds available from operations. It is quite common for these dividends to exceed the REIT’s taxable earnings and profits resulting in the excess portion of such dividends being designated as a return of capital. The Fund intends to include the gross dividends from such REITs in their annual distributions to its shareholders and, accordingly, a portion of the Fund’s distributions may also be designated as a return of capital.

G.	Foreign Currency: Investment securities and other assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollar amounts at the date of valuation. Purchases and sales of investment securities and income and expense items denominated in foreign currencies are translated to U.S. dollar amounts on the respective dates of such transactions.

	The Fund does not isolate those portions of the results of operations resulting from changes in foreign exchange rates on investments from the fluctuations arising from changes in market prices of securities held. Such fluctuations are included with the net realized and unrealized gain or loss from investments.

	Reported net realized foreign exchange gains or losses arise from sales of foreign currencies, currency gains or losses realized between the trade and settlement dates on securities transactions, and the difference between the amounts of dividends, interest, and foreign withholding taxes recorded on the Fund’s books and the U.S. dollar equivalent of the amounts actually received or paid. Net unrealized foreign exchange gains and losses arise from changes in the fair values of assets and liabilities, other than investments in securities at fiscal period-end, resulting from changes in exchange rates.

H.	Events Subsequent to the Fiscal Year End: In preparing the financial statements as of July 31, 2021, management considered the impact of subsequent events for potential recognition or disclosure in the financial statements. Refer to Note 10 for more information about subsequent events.

NOTE 3 – SECURITIES VALUATION

The Fund has adopted authoritative fair value accounting standards which establish an authoritative definition of fair value and set out a hierarchy for measuring fair value. These standards require additional disclosures about the various inputs and valuation techniques used to develop the measurements of fair value, a discussion in changes in valuation techniques and related inputs during the period and expanded disclosure of valuation levels for major security types. These inputs are summarized in the three broad levels listed below:

Level 1 –	Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the Fund has the ability to access.

Level 2 –	Observable inputs other than quoted prices included in level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly. These inputs may include quoted prices for the identical instrument on an inactive market, prices for similar instruments, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, yield curves, default rates and similar data.

Level 3 –	Unobservable inputs for the asset or liability, to the extent relevant observable inputs are not available, representing the Fund’s own assumptions about the assumptions a market participant would use in valuing the asset or liability, and would be based on the best information available.

Following is a description of the valuation techniques applied to the Fund’s major categories of assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis.

The Fund determines the fair value of its investments and computes its net asset value per share as of the close of regular trading on the New York Stock Exchange (4:00 pm EST).

Equity Securities: The Fund’s investments are carried at fair value. Equity securities, including common stocks and real estate investment trusts, that are primarily traded on a national securities exchange shall be valued at the last sale price on the exchange on which they are primarily traded on the day of valuation or, if there has been no sale on such day, at the mean between the bid and asked prices. Securities primarily traded in the NASDAQ Global Market system for which market quotations are readily available shall be valued using the NASDAQ

NOTE 3 – SECURITIES VALUATION (Continued)

Official Closing Price (“NOCP”). If the NOCP is not available, such securities shall be valued at the last sale price on the day of valuation, or if there has been no sale on such day, at the mean between the bid and asked prices. Over-the-counter securities which are not traded in the NASDAQ Global Market System shall be valued at the most recent sales price. The values for foreign securities are reported in local currency and converted to U.S. dollars using currency exchange rates. Exchange rates are provided daily by a recognized independent pricing agent. To the extent these securities are actively traded and valuation adjustments are not applied, they are categorized in level 1 of the fair value hierarchy.

Investment Companies: Investments in open-end mutual funds, including money market funds, are generally priced at their net asset value per share provided by the service agent of the funds and will be classified in level 1 of the fair value hierarchy.

Short-Term Securities: Short-term debt securities, including those securities having a maturity of 60 days or less, are valued at the evaluated mean between the bid and asked prices. To the extent the inputs are observable and timely, these securities would be classified in level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.

The Board of Trustees (“Board”) has delegated day-to-day valuation issues to a Valuation Committee of the Trust which is comprised of representatives from the Fund’s administrator, U.S. Bancorp Fund Services, LLC, doing business as U.S. Bank Global Fund Services (“Fund Services”). The function of the Valuation Committee is to value securities where current and reliable market quotations are not readily available, or the closing price does not represent fair value by following procedures approved by the Board. These procedures consider many factors, including the type of security, size of holding, trading volume and news events. All actions taken by the Valuation Committee are subsequently reviewed and ratified by the Board.

Depending on the relative significance of the valuation inputs, fair valued securities may be classified in either level 2 or level 3 of the fair value hierarchy.

The inputs or methodology used for valuing securities are not an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities. The following is a summary of the inputs used to value the Fund’s securities as of July 31, 2021:

New Rule 18f-4 accounting pronouncement – In October 2020, the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) adopted new regulations governing the use of derivatives by registered investment companies (“Rule 18f-4”). Funds will be required to implement and comply with Rule 18f-4 by August 19, 2022. Once implemented, Rule 18f-4 will impose limits on the amount of derivatives a fund can enter into, eliminate the asset segregation framework currently used by funds to comply with Section 18 of the 1940 Act, treat derivatives as senior securities and require funds whose use of derivatives is more than a limited specified exposure amount to establish and maintain a comprehensive derivatives risk management program and appoint a derivatives risk manager. Management is currently evaluating the potential impact of Rule 18f-4 on the Fund.

NOTE 3 – SECURITIES VALUATION (Continued)

New Rule 2a-5 accounting pronouncement – In December 2020, the SEC adopted a new rule providing a framework for fund valuation practices (“Rule 2a-5”). Rule 2a-5 establishes requirements for determining fair value in good faith for purposes of the 1940 Act. Rule 2a-5 will permit fund boards to designate certain parties to perform fair value determinations, subject to board oversight and certain other conditions. Rule 2a-5 also defines when market quotations are “readily available” for purposes of the 1940 Act and the threshold for determining whether a fund must fair value a security. In connection with Rule 2a-5, the SEC also adopted related recordkeeping requirements and is rescinding previously issued guidance, including with respect to the role of a board in determining fair value and the accounting and auditing of fund investments. The Fund will be required to comply with the rules by September 8, 2022. Management is currently assessing the potential impact of the new rules on the Fund’s financial statements.

The global outbreak of COVID-19 (commonly referred to as “coronavirus”) has disrupted economic markets and the prolonged economic impact is uncertain. The ultimate economic fallout from the pandemic, and the long-term impact on economies, markets, industries and individual issuers, are not known. The operational and financial performance of the issuers of securities in which the Fund invests depends on future developments, including the duration and spread of the outbreak, and such uncertainty may in turn adversely affect the value and liquidity of the Fund’s investments, impair the Fund’s ability to satisfy redemption requests, and negatively impact the Fund’s performance.

NOTE 4 – INVESTMENT ADVISORY FEE AND OTHER TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES

O’Shaughnessy Asset Management, LLC (the “Advisor”) provides the Fund with investment management services under an investment advisory agreement. The Advisor furnishes all investment advice, office space, facilities, and provides most of the personnel needed by the Fund. As compensation for its services, the Advisor is entitled to a fee, computed daily and payable monthly. The Fund pays fees calculated at an annual rate of 0.55% of average daily net assets for the first $25 million of assets, 0.45% of the Fund’s average daily net assets for the next $75 million of assets, and 0.35% of the Fund’s average daily net assets in excess of $100 million. For the year ended July 31, 2021, the Fund incurred $828,663 in advisory fees.

The Fund is responsible for its own operating expenses. The Advisor has contractually agreed to reduce fees payable to it by the Fund and to pay Fund operating expenses (excluding acquired fund fees and expenses, taxes, interest expense, extraordinary expenses or class specific expenses such as Rule 12b-1 fees or shareholder servicing plan fees) to the extent necessary to limit the Fund’s aggregate annual operating expenses to 0.65% of average daily net assets.

Effective November 28, 2018, the Fund discontinued its temporary expense limitation agreement, therefore, any fees waived beginning November 28, 2018 will be subject to recapture. The Advisor is not able to recoup fees waived prior to November 28, 2018.

The Advisor may request recoupment of previously waived fees and paid expenses in any subsequent month in the 36-month period from the date of the management fee reduction and expense payment if the aggregate amount actually paid by the Fund towards the operating expenses for such fiscal year (taking into account the reimbursement) will not cause the Fund to exceed the lesser of: (1) the expense limitation in place at the time of the management fee reduction and expense payment; or (2) the expense limitation in place at the time of the reimbursement. Any such reimbursement is also contingent upon Board of Trustees review and approval at the time the reimbursement is made. Such reimbursement may not be paid prior to the Fund’s payment of current ordinary operating expenses. For the year ended July 31, 2021, there were no expenses waived or recouped by the Advisor. At July 31, 2021, there were no cumulative expenses subject to recapture.

Fund Services serves as the Fund’s administrator, fund accountant and transfer agent. U.S. Bank N.A. serves as custodian (the “Custodian”) to the Fund. The Custodian is an affiliate of Fund Services. Fund Services maintains the Fund’s books and records, calculates the Fund’s NAV, prepares various federal and state regulatory filings, coordinates the payment of fund expenses, reviews expense accruals and prepares materials supplied to the Board of Trustees. The officers of the Trust, including the Chief Compliance Officer, are employees of Fund Services. Fees paid by the Fund for administration and accounting, transfer agency, custody and compliance services for the year ended July 31, 2021 are disclosed in the Statement of Operations.

NOTE 4 – INVESTMENT ADVISORY FEE AND OTHER TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES (Continued)

Quasar Distributors, LLC (“Quasar”) acts as the Fund’s principal underwriter in a continuous public offering of the Fund’s shares. Quasar is a wholly-owned broker-dealer subsidiary of Foreside Financial Group, LLC. (“Foreside”).

NOTE 5 – SHAREHOLDER SERVICING FEE

The Fund has entered into a shareholder servicing agreement (the “Agreement”) with the Advisor, under which the Fund may pay servicing fees at an annual rate of up to 0.15% of the Fund’s average daily net assets. Payments to the Advisor under the Agreement may reimburse the Advisor for payments it makes to selected brokers, dealers and administrators which have entered into service agreements with the Advisor for services provided to shareholders of the Fund. The services provided by such intermediaries are primarily designed to assist shareholders of the Fund and include the furnishing of office space and equipment, telephone facilities, personnel and assistance to the Fund in servicing such shareholders. Services provided by such intermediaries also include the provision of support services to the Fund and includes establishing and maintaining shareholders’ accounts and record processing, purchase and redemption transactions, answering routine client inquiries regarding the Fund, and providing such other personal services to shareholders as the Fund may reasonably request. For the year ended July 31, 2021, the Fund did not accrue shareholder servicing fees.

NOTE 6 – PURCHASES AND SALES OF SECURITIES

For the year ended July 31, 2021, the cost of purchases and the proceeds from sales of securities, excluding short-term securities, were $151,240,068 and $134,999,582, respectively. There were no purchases or sales of U.S. government securities during the year ended July 31, 2021.

NOTE 7 – LINE OF CREDIT

The Fund has a secured uncommitted line of credit in the amount of $5,000,000. This line of credit is intended to provide short-term financing, if necessary, subject to certain restrictions, in connection with shareholder redemptions. The credit facility is with the Fund’s custodian, U.S. Bank N.A. During the year ended July 31, 2021, the Fund did not draw upon its line of credit.

NOTE 8 – INCOME TAXES AND DISTRIBUTIONS TO SHAREHOLDERS

The tax character of distributions paid during the year ended July 31, 2021 and the year ended July 31, 2020 were as follows:

	July 31, 2021	July 31, 2020
Ordinary income	$3,799,998	$4,001,095

As of July 31, 2021, the components of accumulated earnings/(losses) on a tax basis were as follows:

Cost of investments (a)	$	199,280,744
Gross tax unrealized appreciation		53,834,208
Gross tax unrealized depreciation		(3,657,851	)
Net tax unrealized appreciation (a)		50,176,357
Undistributed ordinary income		2,641,134
Undistributed long-term capital gain		—
Total distributable earnings		2,641,134
Other accumulated gains/(losses)		(33,970,674	)
Total accumulated earnings/(losses)	$	18,846,817

(a)	The difference between book basis and tax basis net unrealized appreciation and cost are attributable primarily to the tax deferral of losses on wash sales adjustments.

At July 31, 2021, the Fund had short-term and long-term capital loss carryforwards of $33,377,201 and $593,473, respectively. These capital losses may be carried forward indefinitely to offset future gains.

NOTE 9 – PRINCIPAL RISKS

Below is a summary of some, but not all, of the principal risks of investing in the Fund, each of which may adversely affect the Fund’s net asset value and total return. The Fund’s most recent prospectus provides further descriptions of the Fund’s investment objective, principal investment strategies and principal risks.

•	Market and Regulatory Risk. Events in the financial markets and economy may cause volatility and uncertainty and adversely impact the Fund’s performance. Market events may affect a single issuer, industry, sector, or the market as a whole. Traditionally liquid investments may experience periods of diminished liquidity. Governmental and regulatory actions, including tax law changes, tariffs and global trade concerns, may also impair portfolio management and have unexpected or adverse consequences on particular markets, strategies, or investments. The Fund’s investments may decline in value due to factors affecting individual issuers (such as the results of supply and demand), or sectors within the securities markets. The value of a security or other investment also may go up or down due to general market conditions that are not specifically related to a particular issuer, such as real or perceived adverse economic conditions, changes in interest rates or exchange rates, or adverse investor sentiment generally. In addition, unexpected events and their aftermaths, such as the spread of deadly diseases; natural, environmental or man-made disasters; financial, political or social disruptions; terrorism and war; and other tragedies or catastrophes, can cause investor fear and panic, which can adversely affect the economies of many companies, sectors, nations, regions and the market in general, in ways that cannot necessarily be foreseen.

•	Sector Risk. To the extent a Fund invests a significant portion of its assets in the securities of companies in the same sector of the market, the Fund is more susceptible to economic, political, regulatory and other occurrences influencing those sectors.

•	Foreign Securities and Emerging Markets Risk. The risks of investing in the securities of foreign issuers, including emerging market issuers and depositary receipts, can include fluctuations in foreign currencies, foreign currency exchange controls, political and economic instability, differences in securities regulation and trading, and foreign taxation issues. These risks are greater in emerging markets.

•	Depositary Receipt Risk. A Fund’s equity investments may take the form of sponsored or unsponsored depositary receipts. Holders of unsponsored depositary receipts generally bear all the costs of such facilities and the depositary of an unsponsored facility frequently is under no obligation to distribute shareholder communications received from the issuer of the deposited security or to pass through voting rights to the holders of such receipts of the deposited securities.

•	Small- and Medium-Sized Companies Risk. Small- and medium-sized companies often have less predictable earnings, more limited product lines, markets, distribution channels or financial resources and the management of such companies may be dependent upon one or few key people. The market movements of equity securities of small- and medium-sized companies may be more abrupt and volatile than the market movements of equity securities of larger, more established companies or the stock market in general and small-sized companies in particular, are generally less liquid than the equity securities of larger companies.

•	REITs and Foreign Real Estate Company Risk. Investing in REITs and foreign real estate companies makes a Fund more susceptible to risks associated with the ownership of real estate and with the real estate industry in general, as well as tax compliance risks, and may involve duplication of management fees and other expenses. REITs and foreign real estate companies may be less diversified than other pools of securities, may have lower trading volumes and may be subject to more abrupt or erratic price movements than the overall securities markets.

•	Frontier Markets Risk. There is an additional increased risk of price volatility associated with frontier market countries (pre-emerging markets), which may be further magnified by currency fluctuations relative to the U.S. dollar. Frontier market countries generally have smaller economies or less developed capital markets than in more advanced emerging markets and, as a result, the risks of investing in emerging market countries may be magnified in frontier market countries.

NOTE 9 – PRINCIPAL RISKS (Continued)

•

Value Style Investing Risk. At times when the value investing style is out of favor, the Fund may underperform other funds that use different investing styles. Value stocks may be purchased based upon the belief that a given security may be out of favor; that belief may be misplaced or the security may stay out of favor for an extended period of time.

NOTE 10 – SUBSEQUENT EVENT

On July 7, 2021, Foreside Financial Group, LLC (“Foreside”), the parent company of Quasar Distributors, LLC (“Quasar”), the Fund’s distributor, announced that it had entered into a definitive purchase and sale agreement with Genstar Capital (“Genstar”) such that Genstar would acquire a majority stake in Foreside. The transaction is expected to close at the end of the third quarter of 2021. Quasar will remain the Fund’s distributor at the close of the transaction, subject to Board approval.

NOTE 11 – CONTROL OWNERSHIP

The beneficial ownership, either directly or indirectly of more than 25% of the voting securities of the Fund creates a presumption of control of the Fund, under Section 2(a)(9) of the 1940 Act. As of July 31, 2021, National Financial Services LLC, for the benefit of their customers, owned 31.86% of the outstanding shares of the Fund.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

To the Board of Trustees of

Advisors Series Trust and

Shareholders of

O’Shaughnessy Mutual Funds

Opinion on the Financial Statements

We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities of the O’Shaughnessy Market Leaders Value Fund, a series of Advisors Series Trust (the “Trust”), including the schedule of investments, as of July 31, 2021, 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, and 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 as of July 31, 2021, 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 the financial highlights for each of the five years in the period then ended, 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 Funds 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 have served as the auditor of one or more of the funds in the Trust since 2003.

We conducted our audit 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 Fund is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its 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 Fund’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 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 July 31, 2021 by correspondence with the custodian and brokers; when replies from brokers were not received, we performed other auditing procedures. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

The registrant has adopted a code of ethics that applies to the registrant’s principal executive officer and principal financial officer. The registrant has not made any substantive amendments to its code of ethics during the period covered by this report. The registrant has not granted any waivers from any provisions of the code of ethics during the period covered by this report.

A copy of the registrant’s Code of Ethics is filed herewith.

Item 3. Audit Committee Financial Expert.

The registrant’s Board of Trustees has determined that there is at least one audit committee financial expert serving on its audit committee. Ms. Gail S. Duree is the “audit committee financial expert” and is considered to be “independent” as each term is defined in Item 3 of Form N‑CSR.

Item 4. Principal Accountant Fees and Services.

The registrant has engaged its principal accountant to perform audit services, audit-related services, tax services and other services during the past two fiscal years. “Audit services” refer to performing an audit of the registrant's annual financial statements or services that are normally provided by the accountant in connection with statutory and regulatory filings or engagements for those fiscal years. “Audit-related services” refer to the assurance and related services by the principal accountant that are reasonably related to the performance of the audit. “Tax services” refer to professional services rendered by the principal accountant for tax compliance, tax advice, and tax planning. There were no “other services” provided by the principal accountant. The following table details the aggregate fees billed or expected to be billed for each of the last two fiscal years for audit fees, audit-related fees, tax fees and other fees by the principal accountant.

	FYE 7/31/2021	FYE 7/31/2020
Audit Fees	$17,400	$17,400
Audit-Related Fees	N/A	N/A
Tax Fees	$3,600	$3,600
All Other Fees	N/A	N/A

The audit committee has adopted pre-approval policies and procedures that require the audit committee to pre‑approve all audit and non‑audit services of the registrant, including services provided to any entity affiliated with the registrant.

The percentage of fees billed by Tait, Weller & Baker LLP applicable to non-audit services pursuant to waiver of pre-approval requirement were as follows:

	FYE 7/31/2021	FYE 7/31/2020
Audit-Related Fees	0%	0%
Tax Fees	0%	0%
All Other Fees	0%	0%

All of the principal accountant’s hours spent on auditing the registrant’s financial statements were attributed to work performed by full‑time permanent employees of the principal accountant.

The following table indicates the non-audit fees billed or expected to be billed by the registrant’s accountant for services to the registrant and to the registrant’s investment adviser (and any other controlling entity, etc.—not sub-adviser) for the last two years. The audit committee of the Board of Trustees has considered whether the provision of non-audit services that were rendered to the registrant's investment adviser is compatible with maintaining the principal accountant's independence and has concluded that the provision of such non-audit services by the accountant has not compromised the accountant’s independence.
