# **How did the Fund perform in the last six months ?** 
Against the backdrop of a volatile second quarter 2025, stocks proved resilient after a sharp, tariff-driven decline in April. Stocks surged during the period, with mega-cap tech stocks driving significant returns and leading the market to new all-time highs. Meanwhile, as is typical in a stronger market, more stable sectors like healthcare lagged. Despite this lack of breadth, we believe a market of stocks continues with disparate performance and opportunities for fundamental investors like Sound Shore. We are fortunate to have a patient investor base, which allows us to employ a long-term investment process, providing the opportunity to look through short-term noise and focus on the key signal; where a company's earnings power is going. This market has been particularly noisy, but we remain disciplined and focused on earnings and cash flow, which our experience shows will ultimately drive stock performance.

The above chart represents historical performance of a hypothetical $1,000,000 investment over the past 10 years. Updated performance can be found at www.soundshorefund.com. Effective May 1, 2024, the Fund changed its primary benchmark index from the Russell 1000 Value Index to the S&P 500 Index due to regulatory requirements. The Fund retained the Russell 1000 Value Index as a secondary benchmark because the Russell 1000 Value Index more closely aligns with the Fund's investment strategies and restrictions.

The Fund's past performance is not a good predictor of how the Fund will perform in the future. The graph and table do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on Fund distributions or redemption of Fund shares.

2. Significant

Accounting

Policies

These

financial

statements

are

prepared

in

accordance

with

accounting

principles

generally

accepted

in

the

United

States

of

America

("GAAP"),

which

require

management

to

make

estimates

and

assumptions

that

affect

the

reported

amounts

of

assets

and

liabilities,

disclosure

of

contingent

liabilities,

if

any,

at

the

date

of

the

financial

statements,

and

the

reported

amounts

of

increase

and

decrease

in

net

assets

from

operations

during

the

fiscal

period.

Actual

results

could

differ

from

those

estimates.

The

following

represents

the

significant

accounting

policies

of

the

Fund:

a. Security

Valuation

Exchange-traded

securities

including

those

traded

on

the

National

Association

of

Securities

Dealers'

Automated

Quotation

system

("NASDAQ"),

are

valued

at

the

last

quoted

sale

price

or

official

closing

price

as

provided

by

independent

pricing

services

as

of

the

close

of

trading

on

the

system

or

exchange

on

which

they

are

primarily

traded,

on

each

Fund

business

day.

In

the

absence

of

a

sale,

such

securities

are

valued

at

the

mean

of

the

last

bid

and

asked

prices.

Non-exchange-traded

securities

for

which

over-the-counter

market

quotations

are

readily

available

are

generally

valued

at

the

mean

between

the

current

bid

and

asked

prices

provided

by

independent

pricing

services.

Investments

in

other

open-end

regulated

investment

companies

are

valued

at

their

publicly

traded

net

asset

value

("NAV").

Pursuant

to

Rule

2a-5

under

the

Investment

Company

Act,

the

Board

has

designated

the

Adviser,

as

defined

in

Note

3,

as

the

Fund's

valuation

designee

to

perform

any

fair

value

determinations

for

securities

and

other

assets

held

by

the

Fund.

The

Adviser

is

subject

to

the

oversight

of

the

Board

and

certain

reporting

and

other

requirements

intended

to

provide

the

Board

the

information

needed

to

oversee

the

Adviser's

fair

value

determinations.

The

Adviser

is

responsible

for

determining

the

fair

for

which

policies

and

procedures

that

have

been

approved

by

the

Board.

Under

these

procedures,

the

Adviser

convenes

on

a

regular

and

ad

hoc

basis

to

review

such

investments

and

considers

a

number

of

factors,

including

valuation

methodologies

and

significant

unobservable

inputs,

when

arriving

at

fair

value.

The

Board

has

approved

the

Adviser's

fair

valuation

procedures

as

a

part

of

the

Fund's

compliance

program

and

will

review

any

changes

made

to

the

procedures.

The

Adviser

provides

fair

valuation

inputs

pursuant

to

its

fair

valuation

procedures

if

market

quotations

are

not

readily

available

(including

a

short

and

temporary

lapse

in

the

provision

of

a

judgment

include,

but

are

not

limited

to,

the

following:

(i) only

a

bid

price

or

an

asked

price

is

available,

(ii) the

spread

between

the

bid

price

and

the

asked

price

is

substantial,

(iii) the

frequency

of

sales,

(iv) the

thinness

of

the

market,

(v) the

size

of

reported

trades,

and

(vi) actions

of

the

securities

markets,

such

as

the

suspension

or

limitation

of

trading.

Fair

valuation

is

based

on

subjective

factors

and,

as

a

result,

the

fair

value

price

of

a

security

may

differ

from

the

security's

market

price

and

may

not

be

the

price

at

which

the

security

may

be

sold.

Fair

valuation

could

result

in

a

NAV

different

from

one

determined

by

using

market

quotations.

Valuation

inputs

used

to

determine

the

value

of

the

Fund's

investments

are

summarized

in

the

three

broad

levels

listed

below:

Level

-

quoted

prices

in

active

markets

for

identical

assets

Level

-

other

significant

observable

inputs

(including

quoted

prices

of

similar

securities,

interest

rates,

prepayment

speeds,

credit

risk,

etc.)

Level

-

significant

unobservable

inputs

(including

the

Fund's

own

assumptions

in

determining

the

fair

value

of

investments)

The

inputs

or

methodology

used

for

valuing

securities

are

not

necessarily

an

indication

of

the

risk

associated

with

investing

in

those

securities.

Pursuant

to

the

valuation

procedures

noted

previously,

equity

securities

(including

exchange-traded

securities

and

other

open-end

regulated

investment

companies)

are

generally

categorized

as

Level

securities

in

the

fair

value

hierarchy.

Investments

for

which

there

are

no

quotations,

or

for

which

quotations

do

not

appear

reliable,

are

valued

at

fair

value

as

determined

in

good

faith

by

the

Adviser

under

the

Adviser's

fair

valuation

procedures.

These

valuations

are

typically

categorized

as

Level

or

Level

in

the

fair

value

hierarchy.

The

following

table

summarizes

the

Fund's

investments

categorized

in

the

NOTES

TO

FINANCIAL

STATEMENTS

(Unaudited)(Continued)

June

30,

2025

At

June

30,

2025,

all

equity

securities

and

open-end

regulated

investment

companies

were

included

in

Level

in

the

table

above.

Please

refer

to

the

Schedule

of

Investments

to

view

equity

securities

categorized

by

sector/industry

type.

b. Security

Transactions

Security

transactions

are

recorded

on

a

trade

date

basis.

Realized

gain

and

loss

on

investments

sold

are

recorded

on

the

basis

of

identified

cost.

Dividend

income

is

recorded

on

the

ex-dividend

date.

Interest

income

is

recorded

on

an

accrual

basis.

Foreign

dividend

income

is

recorded

on

the

ex-dividend

date

or

as

soon

as

practicable

after

the

Fund

determines

the

existence

of

a

dividend

declaration

after

exercising

reasonable

due

diligence.

Income

and

capital

gains

on

some

foreign

securities

may

be

subject

to

foreign

withholding

tax,

which

is

accrued

as

applicable.

Investment

income,

realized

and

unrealized

gains

and

losses

and

certain

Fund-level

expenses

are

allocated

to

each

class

based

on

relative

average

daily

net

assets.

Certain

expenses

are

incurred

at

the

class

level

and

charged

directly

to

that

particular

class.

Class

level

expenses

are

denoted

as

such

on

the

Fund's

Statement

of

Operations.

c. Dividends

and

Distributions

to

Shareholders

Dividends

are

declared

separately

for

each

class.

No

class

has

preferential

dividend

rights;

differences

in

per-share

dividend

rates

are

generally

due

to

class-specific

fee

waivers

and

expenses.

Dividends

and

distributions

payable

to

shareholders

are

recorded

by

the

Fund

on

the

ex-dividend

date.

Dividends

from

net

investment

income,

if

any,

are

declared

and

paid

semiannually.

Capital

gains,

if

any,

are

distributed

to

shareholders

at

least

annually.

The

Fund

determines

its

net

investment

income

and

capital

gains

distributions

in

accordance

with

income

tax

regulations,

which

may

differ

from

GAAP.

These

differences

are

due

primarily

to

differing

treatments

of

income

and

gains

on

various

securities

held

by

the

Fund,

timing

differences

and

differing

characterizations

of

distributions

made

by

the

Fund.

To

the

extent

distributions

exceed

net

investment

income

and

net

realized

capital

gains

for

tax

purposes,

they

are

reported

as

a

return

of

capital.

d. Federal

Taxes

The

Fund

intends

to

continue

to

qualify

each

year

as

a

regulated

investment

company

and

to

distribute

substantially

all

of

its

taxable

income.

In

addition,

by

distributing

in

each

calendar

year

substantially

all

of

its

net

investment

income,

capital

gain

and

certain

other

amounts,

if

any,

the

Fund

will

not

be

subject

to

federal

taxation.

Therefore,

no

federal

income

or

excise

tax

provision

is

required.

For

all

open

tax

years

and

all

major

taxing

jurisdictions,

management

of

the

Fund

has

concluded

that

there

are

no

significant

uncertain

tax

positions

that

would

require

the

Fund

to

record

a

tax

liability

or

would

otherwise

require

recognition

in

the

financial

statements.

for

Approval

of

Investment

Advisory

Contract

(Item

of

Form

N-CSR)

At

the

January

30,

2025

Board

meeting,

the

Board,

including

the

Independent

Directors,

considered

the

approval

of

the

continuance

of

the

investment

advisory

agreement

between

the

Adviser

and

the

Fund.

In

preparation

for

its

deliberations,

the

Board

requested

and

reviewed

written

responses

from

the

Adviser

to

a

due

diligence

questionnaire

circulated

on

the

Board's

behalf

concerning

the

services

provided

by

the

Adviser.

The

Board

also

discussed

the

materials

with

Fund

counsel

and

received

an

oral

presentation

from

the

Adviser.

At

the

Meeting,

the

Board

reviewed,

among

other

matters:

(i) the

nature,

extent

and

quality

of

the

services

provided

to

the

Fund

by

the

Adviser,

including

information

on

the

investment

performance

of

the

Fund

and

the

Adviser;

(ii) the

costs

of

the

services

provided

and

profitability

to

the

Adviser

of

its

relationship

with

the

Fund;

(iii) the

advisory

fee

and

total

expense

ratio

of

the

Fund

as

compared

to

those

of

a

relevant

peer

group

of

funds;

(iv) the

extent

to

which

economies

of

scale

may

be

realized

as

the

Fund

grows

and

whether

the

advisory

fee

enables

the

Fund's

investors

to

share

in

the

benefits

of

economies

of

scale;

and

(v) other

benefits

received

by

the

Adviser

from

its

relationship

with

the

Fund.

In

addition,

the

Board

recognized

that

the

evaluation

process

with

respect

to

the

Adviser

was

an

ongoing

one

and,

in

this

regard,

the

Board

considered

information

provided

by

the

Adviser

at

regularly

scheduled

meetings

during

the

past

year.

In

particular,

the

Board

considered,

among

other

things,

the

following:

(1) The

nature,

extent

and

quality

of

services

provided

by

the

Adviser.

The

Board

considered

the

scope

and

quality

of

services

provided

by

the

Adviser,

particularly

the

qualifications,

capabilities

and

experience

of

the

investment,

operational,

compliance,

and

other

personnel

who

are

responsible

for

providing

services

to

the

Fund.

The

Board

also

considered

the

fact

that

the

Adviser

pays

the

costs

of

all

investment

and

management

facilities

necessary

for

the

efficient

conduct

of

its

services

as

well

as

all

distribution

costs

incurred

on

behalf

of

the

Fund

and

servicing

costs

to

financial

intermediaries

beyond

the

basis

points

borne

by

the

Fund

and

reimbursed

by

the

Fund's

transfer

agent.

In

addition,

the

Board

considered

that

the

Adviser

manages

the

overall

investment

program

of

the

Fund

and

that

the

Adviser

keeps

the

Board

informed

of

important

developments

affecting

the

Fund,

both

in

connection

with

the

Board's

annual

review

of

the

Advisory

Agreement

and

at

each

Board

meeting.

The

Board

evaluated

these

factors

based

on

its

direct

experience

with

the

Adviser,

and

in

consultation

with

Counsel

to

the

Fund

and

Counsel

to

the

Independent

Directors.

The

Board

also

considered

the

Adviser's

effectiveness

in

ensuring

that

the

Fund

remains

in

compliance

with

its

investment

policies

and

restrictions

and

the

requirements

of

the

1940

Act

and

related

securities

regulations.

The

Board

further

noted

the

Adviser's

efforts

to

oversee

the

Fund's

other

service

providers,

including

those

providing

administrative,

accounting

and

custodial

services.

Based

on

these

factors,

as

well

as

other

factors

discussed

at

the

Meeting,

the

Board

concluded

that

the

nature,

extent

and

quality

of

services

provided

by

the

Adviser

have

been

and

continue

to

be

satisfactory.

(2) The

performance

of

the

Fund

and

the

Adviser.

The

Board's

analysis

of

the

Fund's

performance

included

the

discussion

and

review

of

the

performance

data

of

the

Fund

against

securities

benchmarks

as

well

as

against

a

group

of

comparable

funds,

based

on,

in

part,

information

provided

by

an

independent,

third-party

mutual

fund

data

provider

–

Strategic

Insight,

Inc.

("Strategic

Insight")

–

engaged

by

the

Board

for

this

purpose.

The

Board

also

considered

the

performance

of

the

Fund

against

a

comparative

universe

of

similar

funds

as

identified

by

the

Adviser.

The

Board

reviewed

comparative

performance

over

long-,

intermediate-

and

short-term

periods.

In

reviewing

performance,

the

Board

placed

greater

emphasis

on

longer-term

performance

than

on

shorter-term

performance,

taking

into

account

that

over

short

periods

of

time

underperformance

may

be

transitory.

The

Board

further

took

into

account

that

performance

returns

over

longer

periods

can

be

impacted

dramatically

by

the

end

point

date

from

which

performance

is

measured.

In

this

regard

the

Board

observed

that

the

Fund

outperformed

the

Russell

1000

Value

Index

over

the

one-,

three-,

five-,

10-,

and

20-year

periods

ended

December

31,

2024. The

Board

also

observed

that

the

Fund

outperformed

the

average

of

the

Strategic

Insight

peer

group

for

each

of

the

one-,

three-,

five-,

and

10-year

periods

ended

December

31,

2024. The

Board

further

considered

the

performance

of

the

Fund

in

the

context

of

whether

the

Fund

was

meeting

the

expectations

of

the

clients

invested

in

the

Fund.

The

Board

also

considered

the

performance

of

the

Fund

against

similarly

managed

accounts

managed

by

the

Adviser.

When

reviewing

performance

against

similarly

managed

accounts,

the

Board

considered,

among

other

things,

differences

in

the

nature

of

such

accounts

from

a

regulatory

and

tax

perspective

and

differences

in

the

investment

mandate

from

that

of

the

Fund.

The

Board

considered

the

Adviser's

view

as

to

the

principle

drivers

of

Fund

performance.

Based

on

these

factors,

as

well

as

other

factors

discussed

at

the

Meeting,

the

Board

concluded

that

the

performance

of

the

Fund

and

the

Adviser

has

been

and

continues

to

be

satisfactory.

(3) The

cost

of

the

advisory

services

and

the

profits

to

the

Adviser

from

the

relationship

with

the

Fund.

The

Board's

consideration

of

the

Fund's

advisory

fee

and

expenses

included,

among

other

factors,

a

discussion

and

review

of

data

concerning

the

current

advisory

fee

and

expense

ratio

of

the

Fund

compared

to

a

peer

group

of

funds

identified

by

Strategic

Insight

as

having

characteristics

similar

to

those

of

the

Fund.

The

Board

observed

that,

although

the

Fund's

advisory

fee

rate

was

slightly

higher

than

the

median

of

the

Strategic

Insight

peers,

the

Fund's

net

expense

ratio

was

in

line

with

the

median

of

the

Strategic

Insight

peers.

The

Board

also

considered

that

the

Institutional

Class

shares

have

a

lower

expense

ratio

than

the

Investor

Class

shares

because

the

Adviser

has

capped

expenses

at

basis

points

to

compete

in

the

institutional

market.

Additionally,

the

Board

considered

advisory

fee

data

from

the

Adviser's

similarly

managed

accounts

and

considered

the

relevance

of

differences

in

the

services

provided

to

separate

accounts

as

they

relate

to

differences

in

the

advisory

fees

charged

in

connection

with

management

of

the

Fund.

The

Board

also

considered

the

profitability

of

the

Fund

to

the

Adviser.

In

this

regard,

the

Board

noted

that

the

Fund

did

not

appear

to

generate

"excessive"

fees

to

the

Adviser.

Based

on

this

analysis,

the

Board

concluded

that

the

advisory

fee

for

the

Fund

was

fair

and

reasonable

in

light

of

the

quality

of

services

provided

by

the

Adviser.

(4) The

extent

to

which

economies

of

scale

will

be

realized

as

the

Fund

grows

and

whether

fee

levels

reflect

those

economies

of

scale.

The

Board

considered

whether

the

Fund

could

benefit

from

any

economies

of

scale.

In

this

regard,

the

Board

considered

the

Fund's

fee

structure,

asset

size,

net

expense

ratio,

and

the

fees

of

comparable

advisers,

recognizing

that

an

analysis

of

economies

of

scale

is

most

relevant

when

a

fund

has

achieved

a

substantial

size

and

has

growing

assets

and

that,

if

a

fund's

assets

are

stable

or

decreasing,

the

significance

of

economies

of

scale

may

be

reduced.

The

Board

reviewed

relevant

materials

and

discussed

whether

the

use

of

breakpoints

would

be

appropriate

at

this

time.

Noting

the

relatively

stable,

if

not

slightly

declining,

asset

levels

in

the

Fund

over

the

past

year

and

the

existence

of

the

Adviser's

ongoing

expense

limitation

arrangements,

the

Board

concluded

that

the

advisory

fee

remained

reasonable

in

light

of

the

current

information

provided

to

the

Board

with

respect

to

economies

of

scale.

(5) Ancillary

benefits

and

other

factors.

In

addition

to

the

above

factors,

the

Board

also

discussed

other

benefits

received

by

the

Adviser

from

the

management

of

the

Fund,

such

as

soft-dollar

credits.

The

Board

concluded

that

the

advisory

fee

was

reasonable

in

light

of

these

fall-out

benefits.
