Dear Fellow Shareholders,

We are pleased to provide you with the Annual Report for the Haverford Quality Growth Stock Fund (the "Fund") for the year ended October 31, 2022. This Report contains information on the holdings of the Fund, along with Financial Highlights and Statement of Operations. During the year ended October 31, 2022, the Fund returned -9.15% while the S&P 500 index returned -14.61%. The Fund's relative performance to the S&P 500 Index was driven by a combination of stock selection and sector allocation. Both sector allocation and stock selection helped relative performance. Our underweighting in Communications Services and our overweighting in Health Care had the biggest positive impact on relative performance. This was partly offset by our underweighting in Energy and Utilities. Many of our defensive holdings delivered positive returns in a down year. UnitedHealth Group (22.1%), Dollar General (16.1%), PepsiCo (15.4%), TJX (12.0%), Johnson & Johnson (9.6%), and Coca-Cola (9.4%) were the Fund's best performers. On the negative side, the Fund suffered steep losses in Nike (-44.1%), S&P Global (-31.7%), BlackRock (-29.7), and Microsoft (-29.4%). The Fund continues to own these relative underperformers due to their strong fundamentals and favorable outlooks.

What a difference a year makes! In retrospect, 2021 felt like the calm before the storm. There was little volatility in the equity markets and returns were pleasantly positive. Interest rates remained exceptionally low, and the economic recovery gained momentum. Enter 2022 and the previous dynamics changed quickly. Russia invaded Ukraine sending oil and food prices higher. Inflation rose to levels not seen in forty years. The Federal Reserve reversed course and began raising interest rates and transitioned from quantitative easing to quantitative tightening. Volatility spiked and the equity market fell into bear market territory (defined as a decline of 20% or more from the previous peak) in early June.

Looking forward, we believe it is likely the US economy will fall into a recession in 2023. Bear markets often occur in anticipation of a recession. An inverted yield curve is the bond market forecasting a recession. Sustained spikes in energy costs typically result in economic slowdowns. And finally, the Federal Reserve has told the markets to anticipate that economic growth and job creation will be the casualty of the Fed's war on inflation.

If the economy falls into a recession, we believe it is likely to be brief and relatively mild. The financial system is healthy, and banks are well capitalized. The jobs market is structurally strong; there continues to be nearly 2 job openings per available job applicant. Corporate earnings and margins are more resilient compared to

previous economic cycles. Compared to 2008/2009, the housing market is sound. Homeowners have higher equity and have fixed their mortgages at low rates.

Lastly here are some reasons to be optimistic. Investors should be encouraged that the Federal Reserve is committed to fighting inflation. They have explicitly stated that they do not want to repeat the mistakes of the 1970's that resulted in 8-10 years of elevated inflation. Sentiment is at extreme levels of pessimism and historically that is a good contrary indicator. The mid-term elections happen in early November. Going back to 1942, the twelve-months return following the mid-term elections is positive with one exception. While it is no fun staying invested through a bear market, we are of the opinion that lower prices today increase the probability of more upside in the future. It may take more time before stocks put in a bottom for this cycle, but every bear market in history has been followed by a bull market. We remain confident in Haverford's Quality Investing philosophy.

Sincerely,

Comparison of Change in the Value of a $10,000 investment in the Haverford Quality Growth Stock Fund versus the S&P 500 Index.

![LOGO](g352652dsp0006.jpg)

\* The Haverford Quality Growth Stock Fund commenced operations on June 30, 2004.

<sup>(1)</sup> The performance data quoted herein represents past performance and the return and value of an investment in the Fund will fluctuate so that, when redeemed, may be worth less than its original cost. Past performance is no guarantee of future performance and should not be considered as a representation of the future results of the Fund. If the Adviser had not limited certain expenses, the Fund's total return would have been lower. The Fund's performance assumes the reinvestment of all dividends and all capital gains. Returns shown<sub> </sub>do not reflect the deduction of taxes<sub> </sub>that a<sub> </sub>shareholder would pay on Fund distributions or the redemption of Fund shares. Index returns assume reinvestment of dividends and, unlike a fund's returns, do not reflect any fees or expenses. If such fees and expenses were included in the index returns, the performance would have been lower. Please note that one cannot invest directly in an unmanaged index.

<sup>(2)</sup> See definition of the comparative index on page 3.

 &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS**<br>

**1. Organization:** 

The Advisors' Inner Circle Fund (the "Trust") is organized as a Massachusetts business trust under an Amended and Restated Agreement and Declaration of Trust dated February 18, 1997. The Trust is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, as an open-end management investment company with 28 funds. The financial statements herein are those of the Haverford Quality Growth Stock Fund, a diversified fund (the "Fund"). The investment objective of the Fund is long-term growth of capital. The Fund invests primarily (at least 80% of its net assets) in equity securities. The Fund focuses on U.S. listed common stocks with large market capitalizations that Haverford Financial Services, Inc. (the "Adviser") believes are the quality companies with stock that offer the potential for future price appreciation. The financial statements of the remaining funds of the Trust are presented separately. The assets of each fund are segregated, and a shareholder's interest is limited to the fund in which shares are held.

**2. Significant Accounting Policies:** 

The following are significant accounting policies, which are consistently followed in the preparation of the financial statements of the Fund. The Fund is an investment company that applies the accounting and reporting guidance issued in Topic 946 by the U.S. Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB").

*Use of Estimates* — The preparation of financial statements, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles ("U.S. GAAP"), requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities as of the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of increases and decreases in net assets from operations during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates and such differences could be material.

*Security Valuation* — Securities listed on a securities exchange, market or automated quotation system for which quotations are readily available (except for securities traded on NASDAQ), including securities traded over the counter, are valued at the last quoted sale price on an exchange or market (foreign or domestic) on which they are traded on the valuation date (or approximately 4:00 pm ET if a security's primary exchange is normally open at that time), or, if there is no such reported sale, at the most recent quoted bid price. For

securities traded on NASDAQ, the NASDAQ Official Closing Price will be used.

All investment companies held in the Fund's portfolio are valued at the published net asset value.

Securities for which market prices are not "readily available" are required to be fair valued under the 1940 ACT.

In December 2020, the SEC adopted Rule 2a-5 under the 1940 Act, establishing requirements to determine fair value in good faith for purposes of the 1940 Act. The rule permits fund boards to designate a fund's investment adviser to perform fair-value determinations, subject to board oversight and certain other conditions. The rule also defines when market quotations are "readily available" for purposes of the 1940 Act and requires a fund to fair value a portfolio investment when a market quotation is not readily available. The SEC also adopted new Rule 31a-4 under the 1940 Act, which sets forth recordkeeping requirements associated with fair-value determinations. The compliance date for Rule 2a-5 and Rule 31a-4 was September 8, 2022.

Effective September 8, 2022, and pursuant to the requirements of Rule 2a-5, the Trust's Board of Trustees (the "Board") designated the Adviser as the Board's valuation designee to perform fair-value determinations for the Fund through a Fair Value Committee (the "Committee") established by the Adviser and approved new Adviser Fair Value Procedures for the Fund. Prior to September 8, 2022, fair-value determinations were performed in accordance with the Trust's Fair Value Procedures established by the Board and were implemented through a Fair Value Committee designated by the Board.

Some of the more common reasons that may necessitate that a security be valued using Fair Value Procedures include: the security's trading has been halted or suspended; the security has been de-listed from a national exchange; the security's primary trading market is temporarily closed at a time when under normal conditions it would be open; the security has not been traded for an extended period of time; the security's primary pricing source is not able or willing to provide a price; or trading of the security is subject to local government imposed restrictions. When a security is valued in accordance with the Fair Value Procedures, the Committee will determine the value after taking into consideration relevant information reasonably available to the Committee.

In accordance with the authoritative guidance on fair value measurements and disclosure under U.S. GAAP, the Fund discloses fair value of its investments in a hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure

the fair value. The objective of a fair value measurement is to determine the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date (an exit price). Accordingly, the fair value hierarchy gives the highest priority to quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3). The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are described below:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Level 1 — Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical,
unrestricted assets or liabilities that the Fund has the ability to access at the measurement date;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Level 2 — Other significant observable inputs (includes quoted prices for
similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, referenced indices, quoted prices in inactive markets, adjusted quoted prices in inactive markets, etc.); and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Level 3 — Prices, inputs or exotic modeling techniques which are both
significant to the fair value measurement and unobservable (supported by little or no market activity).

Investments are classified within the level of the lowest significant input considered in determining fair value. Investments classified within Level 3 whose fair value measurement considers several inputs may include Level 1 or Level 2 inputs as components of the overall fair value measurement.

*Federal Income Taxes* — It is the Fund's intention to continue to qualify as a regulated investment company for Federal income tax purposes by complying with the appropriate provisions of Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and to distribute substantially all of its income to its shareholders. Accordingly, no provision for Federal income taxes has been made in the financial statements.

The Fund evaluates tax positions taken or expected to be taken in the course of preparing the Fund's tax returns to determine whether it is "more-likely-than not" (i.e., greater than 50-percent) that each tax position will be sustained upon examination by a taxing authority based on the technical merits of the position. Tax positions not deemed to meet the more-likely-than-not threshold are recorded as a tax benefit or expense in the current year. The Fund did not record any tax provision in the current period. However, management's conclusions regarding tax positions taken may be subject to review and adjustment at a later date based on factors including, but not limited to, examination by tax

authorities (i.e., the last 3 open tax year ends, as applicable), on-going analysis of and changes to tax laws, regulations and interpretations thereof.

As of and during the year ended October 31, 2022, the Fund did not have a liability for any unrecognized tax benefits. The Fund recognizes interest and penalties, if any, related to unrecognized tax benefits as income tax expense in the Statement of Operations. During the year ended October 31, 2022, the Fund did not incur any interest or penalties.

*Security Transactions and Investment Income* — Security transactions are accounted for on trade date for financial reporting purposes. Costs used in determining realized gains and losses on the sale of investment securities are based on the specific identification method. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date.

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

*Dividends and Distributions to Shareholders* — The Fund will distribute substantially all of its net investment income, if any, quarterly. Any net realized capital gains will be distributed at least annually. All distributions are recorded on ex-dividend date.

**3. Transactions with Affiliates:** 

Certain officers of the Trust are also employees of SEI Investments Global Funds Services (the "Administrator"), a wholly owned subsidiary of SEI Investments Company, and/or SEI Investments Distribution Co. (the "Distributor"). Such officers are paid no fees by the Trust, other than the Chief Compliance Officer ("CCO") as described below, for serving as officers of the Trust.

A portion of the services provided by the CCO and his staff, who are employees of the Administrator, are paid for by the Trust as incurred. The services include regulatory oversight of the Trust's advisors and service providers as required by SEC regulations. The CCO's services have been approved by and are reviewed by the Board.

**4. Administration, Distribution, Transfer Agent and Custodian Agreements:** 

The Fund and the Administrator are parties to an Administration Agreement, under which the Administrator provides administrative services to the Fund. For these services, the Administrator is paid an asset based fee, subject to certain minimums, which will vary depending on the number of share classes and the average daily

net assets of the Fund. For the year ended October 31, 2022, the Fund incurred $352,906 for these services.

The Trust and the Distributor are parties to a Distribution Agreement. The Distributor receives no fees under the Agreement.

DST Systems, Inc. serves as the transfer agent and dividend disbursing agent for the Fund under a transfer agency agreement with the Trust. During the year ended October 31, 2022, the Fund earned cash management credits of $930, which were used to offset transfer agent expenses. This amount is labeled "Fees Paid Indirectly" on the Statement of Operations.

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

**5. Investment Advisory Agreement:** 

Under the terms of an investment advisory agreement, the Adviser provides investment advisory services to the Fund at a fee calculated at an annual rate of 0.60% of the Fund's average daily net assets. The Adviser has contractually agreed to waive all or a portion of its fees and to reimburse expenses in order to limit operating expenses (excluding interest, taxes, brokerage commissions, acquired fund fees and expenses, and extraordinary expenses (collectively "excluded expenses")) for the Fund from exceeding 1.00% of the Fund's average daily net assets until February 28, 2023. Refer to waiver of investment advisory fees on the Statement of Operations, if any, for fees waived for the year ended October 31, 2022. In addition, if at any point it becomes unnecessary for the Adviser to reduce fees or make expense reimbursements, the Board may permit the Adviser to retain the difference between total annual operating expenses (not including excluded expenses) and 1.00% to recapture all or a portion of its prior reductions or reimbursements made during the preceding three-year period. At October 31, 2022, there were no previously waived and reimbursed fees subject to recapture.

**6. Investment Transactions:** 

For the year ended October 31, 2022, the Fund made purchases of $35,104,670 and sales of $42,282,691 of investment securities other than long-term U.S. Government and short-term securities. There were no purchases or sales of long-term U.S. Government securities.

**7. Federal Tax Information:** 

The amount and character of income and capital gain distributions to be paid, if any, are determined in accordance with Federal income tax regulations, which may differ from U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. As a result, net investment income (loss) and net realized gain (loss) on investment transactions for a reporting period may differ significantly from distributions during such period. These book/tax differences may be temporary or permanent. During the year ended October 31, 2022, there were no permanent differences.

The tax character of dividends and distributions declared during the last two fiscal years ended October 31, were as follows:

---

| | | | |
|:---|:---|:---|:---|
|  | **Ordinary Income** | **Long-Term Capital Gain** | **Total** |
| 2022 | $&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;2432231 | $&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;15978987 | $&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;18411218 |
| 2021 | 2281114 |  | 2281114 |

---

As of October 31, 2022, the components of distributable earnings on a tax basis were as follows:

---

| | |
|:---|:---|
|  Undistributed Ordinary Income | $279313 |
|  Undistributed Long-Term Capital Gain | 13279097 |
|  Unrealized Appreciation | 132527483 |
|  Other Temporary Differences | (9) |
|  Total Distributable Earnings | $&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;146085884 |

---

For Federal income tax purposes, the difference between Federal tax cost and book cost primarily relate to wash sales. The Federal tax cost and aggregate gross unrealized appreciation and depreciation on investments held by the Fund at October 31, 2022, were as follows:

---

| | | | |
|:---|:---|:---|:---|
| **Federal**<br>**Tax Cost** | **Aggregate**<br>**Gross**<br>**Unrealized**<br>**Appreciation** | **Aggregate**<br>**Gross**<br>**Unrealized**<br>**Depreciation** | **Net**<br>**Unrealized**<br>**Appreciation** |
| $154852584 | $136654763 | $(4127280) | $132527483 |

---

**8. Concentration of Risks:** 

Since it purchases equity securities, the Fund is subject to the risk that stock prices will fall over short or extended periods of time. Historically, the equity markets have moved in cycles, and the value of the Fund's equity securities may fluctuate drastically from day to day. Individual companies may report poor results or be

---

negatively affected by industry and/or economic trends and developments. The prices of securities issued by such companies may suffer a decline in response. These factors contribute to price volatility, which is the principal risk of investing in the Fund.

Although the Fund is diversified, its investment strategy often results in a relatively focused portfolio of stocks of companies that it believes hold the most growth potential. As a result, poor performance or adverse economic events affecting one or more of these companies could have a greater impact on the Fund than it would on another mutual fund with a broader range of investments.

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

The Fund is also subject to the risk that large-cap growth stocks may underperform other equity market segments or the equity market as a whole.

**9. Other:** 

At October 31, 2022, 91% of total shares outstanding were held by two shareholders. These shareholders were comprised of omnibus accounts that were held on behalf of multiple underlying shareholders.

**10. Indemnifications:** 

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

**11. Subsequent Events:** 

The Fund has evaluated the need for additional disclosures and/or adjustments resulting from subsequent events through the date the financial statements were issued. Based on this evaluation, no additional disclosures or adjustments were required to the financial statements.

 &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM**<br>

To the Board of Trustees of The Advisors' Inner Circle Fund and Shareholders of Haverford Quality Growth Stock Fund

**Opinion on the Financial Statements** 

We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities of Haverford Quality Growth Stock Fund (the "Fund") (one of the series constituting The Advisors' Inner Circle Fund (the "Trust")), including the schedule of investments, as of October 31, 2022, and the related statement of operations for the year then ended, the statements of changes in net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended, the financial highlights for each of the five years in the period then ended and the related notes (collectively referred to as the "financial statements"). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Fund (one of the series constituting The Advisors' Inner Circle Fund) at October 31, 2022, the results of its operations for the year then ended, the changes in its net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended and its financial highlights for each of the five years in the period then ended, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

**Basis for Opinion** 

These financial statements are the responsibility of the Trust's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Fund's financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) ("PCAOB") and are required to be independent with respect to the Trust in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Trust is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of the Trust's internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audits we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Trust's internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.

Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included

examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of October 31, 2022, by correspondence with the custodian. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

 &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**DISCLOSURE OF FUND EXPENSES**<br>

All mutual funds have operating expenses. As a shareholder of a mutual fund, your investment is affected by these ongoing costs, which include (among others) costs for portfolio management, administrative services, and shareholder reports like this one. It is important for you to understand the impact of these costs on your investment returns.

Operating expenses such as these are deducted from a mutual fund's gross income and directly reduce its investment return. These expenses are expressed as a percentage of a mutual fund's average net assets; this percentage is known as a mutual fund's expense ratio.

The following examples use the expense ratio and are intended to help you understand the ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in your Fund and to compare these costs with those of other mutual funds. The examples are based on an investment of $1,000 made at the beginning of the period shown and held for the entire period (May 1, 2022 to October 31, 2022).

The table on the next page illustrates your Fund's costs in two ways:

• **Actual Fund Return.** This section helps you to estimate the actual expenses after
fee waivers that your Fund incurred over the six month period. The "Expenses Paid During Period" column shows the actual dollar expense cost incurred by a $1,000 investment in the Fund, and the "Ending Account Value" number is
derived from deducting that expense cost from the Fund's gross investment return.

You can use this information, together with the actual amount you invested in the Fund, to estimate the expenses you paid over that six month period. Simply divide your ending starting account value by $1,000 to arrive at a ratio (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply that ratio by the number shown for your Fund under "Expenses Paid During Period."

• **Hypothetical 5% Return.** This section helps you compare your Fund's costs
with those of other mutual funds. It assumes that the Fund had an annual 5% return before expenses during the period, but that the expense ratio (Column 3) for the period is unchanged. This example is useful in making comparisons because the
Securities and Exchange Commission requires all mutual funds to make this 5% calculation. You can assess your Fund's comparative cost by comparing the hypothetical result for your Fund in the "Expenses Paid During Period" column with
those that appear in the same charts in the shareholder reports for other mutual funds.

**NOTE:** Because the hypothetical return is set at 5% for comparison purposes — NOT your Fund's actual return — the account values shown may not apply to your specific investment.

 &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**REVIEW OF LIQUIDITY RISK MANAGEMENT PROGRAM** *(Unaudited)*<br>

Pursuant to Rule 22e-4 under the 1940 Act, the Fund's investment adviser has adopted, and the Board has approved, a liquidity risk management program (the "Program") to govern the Fund's approach to managing liquidity risk. The Program is overseen by the Fund's Liquidity Risk Management Program Administrator (the "Program Administrator"), and the Program's principal objectives include assessing, managing and periodically reviewing the Fund's liquidity risk, based on factors specific to the circumstances of the Fund.

At a meeting of the Board held on May 24, 2022, the Trustees received a report from the Program Administrator addressing the operations of the Program and assessing its adequacy and effectiveness of implementation for the period from January 1, 2021 through December 31, 2021. The Program Administrator's report included an assessment of how market conditions caused by the COVID-19 pandemic impacted the Fund's liquidity risk during the period covered by the report. The Program Administrator's report noted that the Program Administrator had determined that the Program is reasonably designed to assess and manage the Fund's liquidity risk and has operated adequately and effectively to manage the Fund's liquidity risk during the period covered by the report. The Program Administrator's report noted that during the period covered by the report, there were no liquidity events that impacted the Fund or its ability to timely meet redemptions without dilution to existing shareholders. The Program Administrator's report further noted that no material changes have been made to the Program during the period covered by the report.

There can be no assurance that the Program will achieve its objectives in the future. Please refer to the prospectus for more information regarding the Fund's exposure to liquidity risk and other principal risks to which an investment in the Fund may be subject.

 &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**BOARD CONSIDERATIONS IN RE-APPROVING THE ADVISORY AGREEMENT (Unaudited)**<br>

Pursuant to Section 15 of the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the "1940 Act"), the Fund's advisory agreement (the "Agreement") must be renewed at least annually after its initial two-year term: (i) by the vote of the Board of Trustees (the "Board" or the "Trustees") of The Advisors' Inner Circle Fund (the "Trust") or by a vote of a majority of the shareholders of the Fund; and (ii) by the vote of a majority of the Trustees who are not parties to the Agreement or "interested persons" of any party thereto, as defined in the 1940 Act (the "Independent Trustees"), cast in person at a meeting called for the purpose of voting on such renewal.

A Board meeting was held on May 23-24, 2022 to decide whether to renew the Agreement for an additional one-year term. In preparation for the meeting, the Trustees requested that the Adviser furnish information necessary to evaluate the terms of the Agreement. Prior to the meeting, the Independent Trustees of the Fund met to review and discuss the information provided and submitted a request for additional information to the Adviser, and information was provided in response to this request. The Trustees used this information, as well as other information that the Adviser and other service providers of the Fund presented or submitted to the Board at the meeting and other meetings held during the prior year, to help them decide whether to renew the Agreement for an additional year.

Specifically, the Board requested and received written materials from the Adviser and other service providers of the Fund regarding: (i) the nature, extent and quality of the Adviser's services; (ii) the Adviser's investment management personnel; (iii) the Adviser's operations and financial condition; (iv) the Adviser's brokerage practices (including any soft dollar arrangements) and investment strategies; (v) the Fund's advisory fee paid to the Adviser and overall fees and operating expenses compared with a peer group of mutual funds; (vi) the level of the Adviser's profitability from its relationship with the Fund, including both direct and indirect benefits accruing to the Adviser and its affiliates; (vii) the Adviser's potential economies of scale; (viii) the Adviser's compliance program, including a description of material compliance matters and material compliance violations; (ix) the Adviser's policies on and compliance procedures for personal securities transactions; and (x) the Fund's performance compared with a peer group of mutual funds and the Fund's benchmark index.

Representatives from the Adviser, along with other Fund service providers, presented additional information and participated in question and answer sessions at the Board meeting to help the Trustees evaluate the Adviser's services, fee and other aspects of the Agreement. The Independent Trustees received advice from

independent counsel and met in executive sessions outside the presence of Fund management and the Adviser.

At the Board meeting, the Trustees, including all of the Independent Trustees, based on their evaluation of the information provided by the Adviser and other service providers of the Fund, renewed the Agreement. In considering the renewal of the Agreement, the Board considered various factors that they determined were relevant, including: (i) the nature, extent and quality of the services provided by the Adviser; (ii) the investment performance of the Fund and the Adviser; (iii) the costs of the services provided and profits realized by the Adviser from its relationship with the Fund, including both direct and indirect benefits accruing to the Adviser and its affiliates; (iv) the extent to which economies of scale are being realized by the Adviser; and (v) whether fee levels reflect such economies of scale for the benefit of Fund investors, as discussed in further detail below.

**Nature, Extent and Quality of Services Provided by the Adviser** 

In considering the nature, extent and quality of the services provided by the Adviser, the Board reviewed the portfolio management services provided by the Adviser to the Fund, including the quality and continuity of the Adviser's portfolio management personnel, the resources of the Adviser, and the Adviser's compliance history and compliance program. The Trustees reviewed the terms of the Agreement. The Trustees also reviewed the Adviser's investment and risk management approaches for the Fund. The most recent investment adviser registration form ("Form ADV") for the Adviser was available to the Board, as was the response of the Adviser to a detailed series of questions which included, among other things, information about the investment advisory services provided by the Adviser to the Fund.

The Trustees also considered other services provided to the Fund by the Adviser such as selecting broker-dealers for executing portfolio transactions, monitoring adherence to the Fund's investment restrictions, and monitoring compliance with various Fund policies and procedures and with applicable securities laws and regulations. Based on the factors above, as well as those discussed below, the Board concluded, within the context of its full deliberations, that the nature, extent and quality of the services provided to the Fund by the Adviser were sufficient to support renewal of the Agreement.

**Investment Performance of the Fund and the Adviser** 

The Board was provided with regular reports regarding the Fund's performance over various time periods. The Trustees also reviewed reports prepared by the Fund's administrator comparing the Fund's performance to its benchmark index

and a peer group of mutual funds as classified by Lipper, an independent provider of investment company data, over various periods of time. Representatives from the Adviser provided information regarding and led discussions of factors impacting the performance of the Fund, outlining current market conditions and explaining their expectations and strategies for the future. The Trustees determined that the Fund's performance was satisfactory, or, where the Fund's performance was materially below its benchmark and/or peer group, the Trustees were satisfied by the reasons for the underperformance and/or the steps taken by the Adviser in an effort to improve the performance of the Fund. Based on this information, the Board concluded, within the context of its full deliberations, that the investment results that the Adviser had been able to achieve for the Fund were sufficient to support renewal of the Agreement.

**Costs of Advisory Services, Profitability and Economies of Scale** 

In considering the advisory fee payable by the Fund to the Adviser, the Trustees reviewed, among other things, a report of the advisory fee paid to the Adviser. The Trustees also reviewed reports prepared by the Fund's administrator comparing the Fund's net and gross expense ratios and advisory fee to those paid by a peer group of mutual funds as classified by Lipper. The Trustees reviewed the management fees charged by the Adviser to other clients with comparable mandates. The Trustees considered any differences in management fees and took into account the respective demands, resources and complexity associated with the Fund and other client accounts as well as the extensive regulatory, compliance and tax regimes to which the Fund is subject. The Board concluded, within the context of its full deliberations, that the advisory fee was reasonable in light of the nature and quality of the services rendered by the Adviser.

The Trustees reviewed the costs of services provided by and the profits realized by the Adviser from its relationship with the Fund, including both direct benefits and indirect benefits, such as research and brokerage services received under soft dollar arrangements, accruing to the Adviser and its affiliates. The Trustees considered how the Adviser's profitability was affected by factors such as its organizational structure and method for allocating expenses. The Trustees concluded that the profit margins of the Adviser with respect to the management of the Fund were not unreasonable. The Board also considered the Adviser's commitment to managing the Fund and its willingness to continue its expense limitation and fee waiver arrangement with the Fund.

The Trustees considered the Adviser's views relating to economies of scale in connection with the Fund as Fund assets grow and the extent to which the benefits

of any such economies of scale are shared with the Fund and Fund shareholders. The Board considered the existence of any economies of scale and whether those were passed along to the Fund's shareholders through a graduated advisory fee schedule or other means, including fee waivers. The Trustees recognized that economies of scale are difficult to identify and quantify and are rarely identifiable on a fund-by-fund basis. Based on this evaluation, the Board concluded that the advisory fee was reasonable in light of the information that was provided to the Trustees by the Adviser with respect to economies of scale.

**Renewal of the Agreement** 

Based on the Board's deliberations and its evaluation of the information described above and other factors and information it believed relevant in the exercise of its reasonable business judgment, the Board, including all of the Independent Trustees, with the assistance of Fund counsel and Independent Trustees' counsel, unanimously concluded that the terms of the Agreement, including the fees payable thereunder, were fair and reasonable and agreed to renew the Agreement for another year. In its deliberations, the Board did not identify any absence of information as material to its decision, or any particular factor (or conclusion with respect thereto) or single piece of information that was all-important, controlling or determinative of its decision, but considered all of the factors together, and each Trustee may have attributed different weights to the various factors (and conclusions with respect thereto) and information.

Notes:

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

(2) Final tax compliance services provided to McKee International Equity Portfolio.

(3) Common Reporting Standard ("CRS") tax services for the Sands Capital Global Growth Fund.

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

(5) Non-audit assurance engagements for service affiliates of the funds.

(6) Fees related to consents for Cambiar N-14 filings.

(e)(1) The Trust's Audit Committee has adopted and the Board of Trustees has ratified an Audit and Non-Audit Services Pre-Approval Policy (the "Policy"), which sets forth the procedures and the conditions pursuant to which services proposed to be performed by the independent auditor of the Funds may be pre-approved.

The Policy provides that all requests or applications for proposed services to be provided by the independent auditor must be submitted to the Registrant's Chief Financial Officer ("CFO") and must include a detailed description of the services proposed to be rendered. The CFO will determine whether such services:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;1. require specific pre-approval;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;2. are included within the list of services that have received the general pre-approval of the Audit Committee pursuant to the Policy; or

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;3. have been previously pre-approved in connection with the independent
auditor's annual engagement letter for the applicable year or otherwise. In any instance where services require pre-approval, the Audit Committee will consider whether such services are consistent with
SEC's rules and whether the provision of such services would impair the auditor's independence.

Requests or applications to provide services that require specific pre-approval by the Audit Committee will be submitted to the Audit Committee by the CFO. The Audit Committee will be informed by the CFO on a quarterly basis of all services rendered by the independent auditor. The Audit Committee has delegated specific pre-approval authority to either the Audit Committee Chair or financial expert, provided that the estimated fee for any such proposed pre-approved service does not exceed $100,000 and any pre-approval decisions are reported to the Audit Committee at its next regularly-scheduled meeting.

Services that have received the general pre-approval of the Audit Committee are identified and described in the Policy. In addition, the Policy sets forth a maximum fee per engagement with respect to each identified service that has received general pre-approval.

All services to be provided by the independent auditor shall be provided pursuant to a signed written engagement letter with the Registrant, the investment adviser, or applicable control affiliate (except that matters as to which an engagement letter would be impractical because of timing issues or because the matter is small may not be the subject of an engagement letter) that sets forth both the services to be provided by the independent auditor and the total fees to be paid to the independent auditor for those services.

------

In addition, the Audit Committee has determined to take additional measures on an annual basis to meet the Audit Committee's responsibility to oversee the work of the independent auditor and to assure the auditor's independence from the Registrant, such as (a) reviewing a formal written statement from the independent auditor delineating all relationships between the independent auditor and the Registrant, and (b) discussing with the independent auditor the independent auditor's methods and procedures for ensuring independence.

(e)(2) Percentage of fees billed applicable to non-audit services pursuant to waiver of pre-approval requirement were as follows (PwC):

## Ex-99.Code

**<u>Policy Statement</u>:** Sarbanes-Oxley effected sweeping corporate disclosure and financial reporting reform on public companies, including mutual funds, to address corporate malfeasance and assure investors that the companies in which the investors invest are accurately and completely disclosing financial information. Under Sarbanes-Oxley, all public companies (including the Funds) must either have a code of ethics for their senior financial officers, or disclose why the company does not have a code of ethics. Sarbanes-Oxley was intended to foster corporate environments which encourage employees to question and report unethical and potentially illegal business practices.

Each Fund has chosen to adopt a code of ethics ("Code of Ethics for Financial Officers") to encourage the Fund's Principal Executive Officer, Principal Financial, and Accounting Officer and Controller (the "Financial Officers") for the purpose of promoting:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Honest and ethical conduct, including the ethical handling of actual or apparent conflicts of interest between
personal and professional relationships.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Full, fair, accurate, timely, and understandable disclosure in reports and documents that a registrant files
with, or submits to, the SEC and in other public communications made by the Funds.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Compliance with applicable laws and governmental rules and regulations.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Prompt internal reporting of violations of the Code of Ethics for Financial Officers to an appropriate person or
persons identified in the Code of Ethics of Financial Officers.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Accountability for adherence to the Code of Ethics for Financial Officers.

**<u>Procedures</u>:** The Funds have adopted the following procedures regarding this matter:

A compliance officer is responsible for monitoring compliance with these procedures.

**FINANCIAL OFFICER CODE OF ETHICS** 

**I.** **Introduction** 

The reputation and integrity of Series Trusts, (each a "Trust" and, collectively, the "Trusts") are valuable assets that are vital to the each Trust's success. The Trusts' senior financial officers ("SFOs") are responsible for conducting the Trusts' business in a manner that demonstrates a commitment to the highest standards of integrity. The Trusts' SFOs include the principal executive officer, the principal financial officer, comptroller or principal accounting officer, and any person who performs a similar function.

The Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 (the "Act") effected sweeping corporate disclosure and financial reporting reform on public companies, including mutual funds, to address corporate malfeasance and assure investors that the companies in which the investors invest are accurately and completely disclosing financial information. Under the Act, all public companies (including

------

the Trusts) must either have a code of ethics for their SFOs, or disclose why the company does not have a code of ethics. The Act was intended to foster corporate environments which encourage employees to question and report unethical and potentially illegal business practices. Each Trust has chosen to adopt this Financial Officer Code of Ethics (the "Code") to encourage the Trust's SFOs to act in a manner consistent with the highest principles of ethical conduct.

**II.** **Purposes of the Code** 

The purposes of this Code are:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;1. To promote honest and ethical conduct by each Trust's SFOs, including the ethical handling of actual or
apparent conflicts of interest between personal and professional relationships;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;2. To assist each Trust's SFOs in recognizing and avoiding conflicts of interest, including disclosing to an
appropriate person any material transaction or relationship that reasonably could be expected to give rise to such a conflict;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;3. To promote full, fair, accurate, timely, and understandable disclosure in reports and documents that the Trusts
file with, or submit to, the SEC and in other public communications made by the Trusts;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;4. To promote compliance with applicable laws, rules, and regulations;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;5. To encourage the prompt internal reporting to an appropriate person of violations of this Code; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;6. To establish accountability for adherence to this Code.

**III.** **Questions about this Code** 

Each Trust's compliance officer designated to oversee compliance with the Trust's Code of Ethics adopted pursuant to Rule 17j-1 shall serve as Compliance Officer for the implementation and administration of this Code. You should direct your questions about this Code to the Compliance Officer.

**IV.** **Conduct Guidelines** 

Each Trust has adopted the following guidelines under which the Trust's SFOs must perform their official duties and conduct the business affairs of the Trust.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;1. **Ethical and honest conduct is of paramount importance.** Each Trust's SFOs must act with honesty and
integrity and avoid violations of this Code, including the avoidance of actual or apparent conflicts of interest with the Trust in personal and professional relationships.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;2. **SFOs must disclose material transactions or relationships.** Each Trust's SFOs must disclose to the
Compliance Officer any actual or apparent conflicts of interest the SFO may have with the Trust that reasonably could be expected to give rise to any violations of this Code. Such conflicts of interest may arise as a result of material transactions
or business or personal relationships to which the SFO may be a party. If it is not possible to disclose the matter to the Compliance Officer, the matter should be disclosed to the

------

Trust's Chief Financial Officer, Chief Executive Officer, or another appropriate person. In addition to disclosing any actual or apparent conflicts of interest in which an SFO is personally involved, the Trusts' SFOs have an obligation to report any other actual or apparent conflicts which the SFOs discover or of which the SFOs otherwise become aware. If you are unsure whether a particular fact pattern gives rise to a conflict of interest, or whether a particular transaction or relationship is "material," you should bring the matter to the attention of the Compliance Officer.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;3. **Standards for quality of information shared with service providers of the Trusts.** Each Trust's SFOs
must at all times seek to provide information to the Trust's service providers (adviser, administrator, outside auditor, outside counsel, custodian, *etc.*) that is accurate, complete, objective, relevant, timely, and understandable.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;4. **Standards for quality of information included in periodic reports.** Each Trust's SFOs must at all
times endeavor to ensure full, fair, timely, accurate, and understandable disclosure in the Trust's periodic reports.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;5. **Compliance with laws.** Each Trust's SFOs must comply with the federal securities laws and other laws
and rules applicable to the Trusts, such as the Internal Revenue Code.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;6. **Standard of care.** Each Trust's SFOs must at all times act in good faith and with due care,
competence, and diligence, without misrepresenting material facts or allowing your independent judgment to be subordinated. Each Trust's SFOs must conduct the affairs of the Trust in a responsible manner, consistent with this Code.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;7. **Confidentiality of information.** Each Trust's SFOs must respect and protect the confidentiality of
information acquired in the course of their professional duties, except when authorized by the Trust to disclose this information or where disclosure is otherwise legally mandated. You may not use confidential information acquired in the course of
your work for personal advantage.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;8. **Sharing of information and educational standards.** Each Trust's SFOs should share information with
relevant parties to keep these parties informed of the business affairs of the Trust, as appropriate, and to maintain skills important and relevant to the Trust's needs.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;9. **Promote ethical conduct.** Each Trust's SFOs at all times should proactively promote ethical behavior
among peers in the SFOs work environment.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;10. **Standards for recordkeeping.** Each Trust's SFOs at all times must endeavor to ensure that the
Trust's financial books and records are thoroughly and accurately maintained to the best of the SFOs knowledge in a manner consistent with applicable laws and this Code.

**V. Waivers of this Code** 

You may request a waiver of a provision of this Code by submitting your request in writing to the Compliance Officer for appropriate review. For example, if a family member works for a service provider that prepares a Trust's financial statements, you may have a potential conflict of interest in reviewing those statements and should seek a waiver of this Code to review the work. An executive officer of each Trust, or another appropriate person (such as a designated Board or Audit Committee member), will decide whether to grant a waiver. All waivers of this code must be disclosed to the applicable Trust's shareholders and the designated Board to the extent required by SEC rules.

------

**VI.** **Affirmation of the Code** 

Upon adoption of the Code, each Trust's SFOs must affirm in writing that the SFO has received, has read, and understands the Code, and annually thereafter must affirm that they have complied with the requirements of the Code. To the extent necessary, each Trust's Compliance Officer will provide guidance on the conduct required by this Code and the manner in which violations or suspected violations must be reported and waivers must be requested.

**VII.** **Reporting Violations** 

In the event that an SFO discovers or, in good faith, suspects a violation of this Code, the SFO <u>must</u> immediately report the violation or suspected violation to the Compliance Officer. The Compliance Officer, in his or her discretion, may consult with another member of the Trust's senior management or the Board in determining how to address the suspected violation. For example, a Code violation may occur when a periodic report or financial statement of a Trust omits a material fact, or is technically accurate but, in the view of the SFO, is written in a way that obscures the report's or financial statement's meaning.

SFOs who report violations or suspected violations in good faith will not be subject to retaliation of any kind. Reported violations will be investigated and addressed promptly and will be treated as confidential to the extent possible.

**VIII.** **Violations of the Code** 

Dishonest or unethical conduct or conduct that is illegal will constitute a violation of this Code, regardless of whether this Code specifically refers to such particular conduct. A violation of this Code may result in disciplinary action, up to and including removal as an SFO of the Trust. A variety of laws apply to the Trusts and their operations, including the Securities Act of 1933, the Investment Company Act of 1940, state laws relating to duties owed by Trust officers, and criminal laws. The Trusts will report any suspected criminal violations to the appropriate authorities, and will investigate, address, and report, as appropriate, non-criminal violations.

the Registrant's internal control over financial reporting.
