Management's Discussion of Fund Performance
  • For the period September 30, 2025 to April 30, 2026, the Polen Focus Growth ETF (the "Fund") underperformed the Russell 1000® Growth Index and the S&P 500® Index.
  • Stock selection in the Information Technology sector was the primary detractor from results (largely stemming from Software exposures) and Health Care also presented a headwind. By contrast, selection in Consumer Discretionary and Communication Services was positive.
  • As for sector positioning (a residual of bottom-up stock selection), the overweight to Financials represented the most notable headwind to relative performance, partially offset by the benefit of being overweight Health Care.
  • The top three relative stock detractors (vs. the Russell 1000® Growth Index) were Oracle, ServiceNow, and CoStar Group. Positive relative contributors were Starbucks, Tesla (not owned), and Microsoft.

1. Organization and Significant Accounting Policies
The Polen Floating Rate Income ETF, the Polen High Income ETF and the Polen Focus Growth ETF (each a "Fund" and together the "Funds") are open-end management investment companies registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, (the "1940 Act"), which commenced investment operations on March 24, 2025, March 25, 2025 and September 30, 2025, respectively. The Polen Floating Rate Income ETF and the Polen High Income ETF are diversified management investment companies and the Polen Focus Growth ETF is a non-diversified management investment company. The Funds are separate series of FundVantage Trust (the "Trust") which was organized as a Delaware statutory trust on August 28, 2006. The Trust is a "series trust" authorized to issue an unlimited number of separate series or classes of shares of beneficial interest. Each series is treated as a separate entity for certain matters under the 1940 Act, and for other purposes, and a shareholder of one series is not deemed to be a shareholder of any other series. Polen Capital Credit, LLC ("Polen Credit" or the "Adviser") serves as investment adviser to the Polen Floating Rate Income ETF and the Polen High Income ETF pursuant to an investment advisory agreement with the Trust. Polen Capital Management, LLC ("PCM" or the "Adviser") serves as investment adviser to the Polen Focus Growth ETF pursuant to an investment advisory agreement with the Trust.
The Polen Floating Rate Income ETF seeks to achieve overall total return consisting of a high level of current income together with long-term capital appreciation. The Polen High Income ETF seeks to achieve overall total return consisting of a high level of current income together with long-term capital appreciation. The Polen Focus Growth ETF seeks to achieve long-term growth of capital. It invests in a focused portfolio of competitively advantaged businesses that demonstrate sustainable, above-average earnings growth.
For the Polen Focus Growth ETF, on September 29, 2025 ("Contribution Date"), the Initial Investors completed a tax-free contribution under Section 351(a) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended. The Initial Investors contributed a total market value of $109,399,420 on the Contribution Date, which was comprised of a cost basis of assets contributed of $64,177,024 and unrealized appreciation of $45,222,396. The Contribution resulted in the issuance of 4,367,185 shares to the Initial Investors.
The Funds are investment companies and follow accounting and reporting guidance in the Financial Accounting Standards Board Accounting Standards Codification Topic 946.
Individual shares of each Fund are listed for trading on a national securities exchange during the trading day. The Funds' primary listing exchange is NYSE Arca, Inc. Shares can be bought and sold throughout the trading day like shares of other publicly traded companies, and when you buy or sell the Funds' shares in the secondary market, you will pay or receive the market price. However, there can be no guarantee that an active trading market will develop or be maintained, or that the Funds' shares listing will continue or remain unchanged.
Shares of the Funds may only be acquired through the Funds' distributor and redeemed directly with the Funds by or through Authorized Participants in large blocks called Creation Units or multiples thereof. Authorized Participants are registered clearing agents that enter into an agreement with the Funds' distributor to transact in Creation Units. Purchases and redemptions of Creation Units will take place in-kind and/or for cash at the discretion of the Funds. The determination of whether purchases and redemptions of Creation Units will be for cash or in-kind depends primarily on the regulatory requirements and settlement mechanisms relevant to the Funds' portfolio holdings and the Funds are not limited to engaging in in-kind transactions to any particular market circumstances.
Portfolio Valuation - The Funds' NAV is calculated once daily at the close of regular trading hours on the New York Stock Exchange ("NYSE") (typically 4:00 p.m. Eastern time) on each day the NYSE is open. Securities held by the Funds are valued using the closing price or the last sale price on a national securities exchange or the National Association of Securities Dealers Automatic Quotation System ("NASDAQ") market system where they are primarily traded. Equity securities traded in the over-the-counter ("OTC") market are valued at their closing prices. If there were no transactions on that day, securities traded principally on an exchange or on NASDAQ will be valued at the mean of the last bid and ask prices prior to the market close. Investments in other open-end investment companies are valued based on the NAV of the investment companies (which may use fair value pricing as discussed in their prospectuses). Securities that do not have a readily available current market value are valued in good faith by each Adviser as "valuation designee" under the oversight of the Trust's Board of Trustees ("Board of Trustees"). Relying on prices supplied by pricing services or dealers or using fair valuation may result in values that are higher or lower than the values used by other investment

companies and investors to price the same investments. Each Adviser has adopted written policies and procedures for valuing securities and other assets in circumstances where market quotes are not readily available. In the event that market quotes are not readily available, and the security or asset cannot be valued pursuant to one of the valuation methods, the value of the security or asset will be determined in good faith by each Adviser pursuant to its policies and procedures. On a quarterly basis, each Adviser's fair valuation determinations will be reviewed by the Board of Trustees.
The Funds have a fundamental policy with respect to industry concentration that they will not invest 25% or more of the value of their Fund's assets in securities of issuers in any one industry. Since inception the Funds have utilized BICS at the sub-industry level for defining industries for purposes of monitoring compliance with its industry concentration policy. However, at times, the Funds may utilize other industry classification systems such as the Morningstar Global Equity Classification System, ICE BofA, or Global Industry Classification Standard. as applicable, for other purposes.
Fair Value Measurements - The inputs and valuation techniques used to measure fair value of the Funds' investments are summarized into three levels as described in the hierarchy below:
• Level 1 - unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical securities;
• Level 2 - other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.); and
• Level 3 - significant unobservable inputs (including the Adviser's own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments).
The inputs or methodology used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities. Transfers in and out are recognized at the value at the end of the period.
Significant events (such as movement in the U.S. securities market, or other regional and local developments) may occur between the time that foreign markets close (where the security is principally traded) and the time that each Fund calculates its NAV (generally, the close of the NYSE) which may impact the value of securities traded in these foreign markets. As a result, each Fund fair values foreign securities using an independent pricing service which considers the correlation of the trading patterns of the foreign security to the intraday trading in the U.S. markets for investments such as American Depositary Receipts, financial futures, exchange-traded funds and certain indexes as well as prices for similar securities. Such fair valuations are categorized as Level 2 in the hierarchy.
Securities listed on a non-U.S. exchange are generally fair valued daily by an independent fair value pricing service approved by the Board of Trustees and categorized as Level 2 investments within the hierarchy. The fair valuations for these securities may not be the same as quoted or published prices of the securities on their primary markets. Securities for which daily fair value prices from the independent fair value pricing service are not available are generally valued at the last quoted sale price at the close of an exchange on which the security is traded and categorized as Level 1 investments within the hierarchy. Values of foreign securities, currencies, and other assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollars at the exchange rate of said currencies against the U.S. dollar, as of valuation time, as provided by an independent pricing service approved by the Board of Trustees.
The valuations for fixed income securities are typically the prices supplied by independent third-party pricing services, which may use market prices or broker/dealer quotations or a variety of valuation techniques and methodologies. The independent third-party pricing services use inputs that are observable such as issuer details, interest rates, yield curves, prepayment speeds, credit risks/spreads, default rates and quoted prices for similar securities. To the extent that these inputs are observable, the fair value of fixed income securities would be categorized as Level 2; otherwise the fair values would be categorized as Level 3.
Floating rate senior loan notes ("Senior Loans") are fair valued based on a quoted price received from a single broker-dealer or an average of quoted prices received from multiple broker-dealers or valued relative to other benchmark securities when broker-dealer quotes are unavailable. To the extent that these inputs are observable, the fair values of Senior Loans would be categorized as Level 2; otherwise the fair values would be categorized as Level 3.

At the end of each quarter, management evaluates the classification of Levels 1, 2 and 3 assets and liabilities. Various factors are considered, such as changes in liquidity from the prior reporting period; whether or not a broker is willing to execute at the quoted price; the depth and consistency of prices from third-party pricing services; and the existence of contemporaneous, observable trades in the market. Additionally, management evaluates the classification of Level 1 and Level 2 assets and liabilities on a quarterly basis for changes in listings or delistings on national exchanges.
Due to the inherent uncertainty of determining the fair value of investments that do not have a readily available market value, the fair value of the Funds' investments may fluctuate from period to period. Additionally, the fair value of investments may differ significantly from the values that would have been used had a ready market existed for such investments and may differ materially from the values the Funds may ultimately realize. Further, such investments may be subject to legal and other restrictions on resale or otherwise less liquid than publicly traded securities.

For fair valuations using significant unobservable inputs, U.S. generally accepted accounting principles ("U.S. GAAP") require the Funds to present a reconciliation of the beginning to ending balances for reported market values that present changes attributable to total realized and unrealized gains or losses, purchase and sales, and transfers in and out of Level 3 during the period. A reconciliation of Level 3 investments is presented only when the Funds have an amount of Level 3 investments at the end of the reporting period that was meaningful in relation to their respective net assets. The amounts and reasons for all transfers in and out of Level 3 are disclosed when the Funds had an amount of transfers during the reporting period that was meaningful in relation to their respective net assets as of the end of the reporting period.
There are significant unobservable inputs used in the fair value measurement of the Funds' Level 3 investments. Generally, a change in the assumptions used in any input in isolation may be accompanied by a change in another input. Significant changes in any of the unobservable inputs may significantly impact the fair value measurement. The impact is based on the relationship between each unobservable input and the fair value measurement.
Use of Estimates - The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the period. Actual results could differ from those estimates and those differences could be material.
Investment Transactions, Investment Income and Expenses - Investment transactions are recorded on trade date for financial statement preparation purposes. Realized gains and losses on investments sold are recorded on the identified cost basis. Interest income, which includes accretion of discounts and amortization of premiums, is recorded on the accrual basis, using the effective yield method. Dividends are recorded on the ex-dividend date. The Funds may be subject to foreign taxes on income, a portion of which may be recoverable. The Funds apply for refunds where available. The Funds will accrue such taxes and reclaims, as applicable, based upon the current interpretation of tax rules and regulations that exist in the market in which the Fund invests. General expenses of the Trust are generally allocated to each Fund under methodologies approved by the Board of Trustees. Expenses directly attributable to a particular Fund in the Trust are charged directly to that Fund. The Funds' investment income, expenses (other than class-specific expenses) and unrealized and realized gains and losses are allocated daily to each class of shares based upon the relative proportion of net assets of each class at the beginning of the day. The Polen Floating Rate Income ETF and the Polen High Income ETF may also enter into unfunded loan commitments, which are contractual obligations for future funding. Unfunded loan commitments may include revolving credit facilities, which may obligate the Fund to supply additional cash to the borrower on demand. Unfunded loan commitments, which represent a future obligation in full, may obligate the Fund to supply additional cash to the borrower on demand. The Fund may receive a commitment fee based on the undrawn portion of an unfunded loan commitment. In certain circumstances, the Fund may receive various fees upon the restructure of a senior floating interest rate obligation by a borrower. Fees earned/paid may be recorded as a component of income or realized gain/loss in the Statement of Operations.
Cash and Cash Equivalents - Cash and cash equivalents, if any, include cash and overnight investments in interest-bearing demand deposits with a financial institution with original maturities of three months or less. Each Fund maintains deposits with a high quality financial institution in an amount that is in excess of federally insured limits.
Dividends and Distributions to Shareholders - Dividends from net investment income are declared daily and paid monthly to shareholders. Distributions, if any, of net short-term capital gain and net capital gain (the excess of net long-term capital gain over the short-term capital loss) realized by the Funds, after deducting any available capital loss carryforwards are declared and paid to its shareholders annually. Income dividends and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance with U.S. federal income tax regulations, which may differ from U.S. GAAP. These differences include the treatment of non-taxable dividends, expiring capital loss carryforwards and losses deferred due to wash sales and excise tax regulations. Permanent book and tax basis differences relating to shareholder distributions will result in reclassifications within the components of net assets.
U.S. Tax Status - No provision is made for U.S. income taxes as it is each Fund's intention to continue to qualify for and elect the tax treatment applicable to regulated investment companies under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and make the requisite distributions to its shareholders which will be sufficient to relieve it from U.S. income and excise taxes.

Other - In the normal course of business, the Funds may enter into contracts that provide general indemnifications. The Funds' maximum exposure under these arrangements is dependent on claims that may be made against the Funds in the future, and therefore, cannot be estimated; however, based on experience, the risk of material loss for such claims is considered remote.
Debt Investment Risk - Debt investments are affected primarily by the financial condition of the companies or other entities that have issued them and by changes in interest rates. There is a risk that an issuer of a Fund's debt investments may not be able to meet its financial obligations (e. g., may not be able to make principal and/or interest payments when they are due or otherwise default on other financial terms) and/or seek bankruptcy protection. Securities such as high-yield bonds, e.g., bonds with low credit ratings by Moody's (Ba or lower) or Standard & Poor's (BB and lower) or if unrated are of comparable quality as determined by each Adviser, are especially subject to credit risk during periods of economic uncertainty or during economic downturns and are more likely to default on their interest and/or principal payments than higher rated securities. Debt investments may be affected by changes in interest rates. Debt investments with longer durations tend to be more sensitive to changes in interest rates, making them more volatile than debt investments with shorter durations or floating or adjustable interest rates. The value of debt investments may fall when interest rates rise.
Senior Loans - Each Fund invests primarily in senior loans and other floating rate investments. Senior loans typically are rated below investment grade. Below investment grade securities, including senior loans, involve greater risk of loss, are subject to greater price volatility, and may be less liquid and more difficult to value, especially during periods of economic uncertainty or change, than higher rated debt securities. Market quotations for these securities may be volatile and/or subject to large spreads between bid and ask prices. These securities once sold, may not settle for an extended period (for example, several weeks or even longer). A Fund will not receive its sale proceeds until that time, which may constrain a Fund's ability to meet its obligations. A Fund may invest in securities of issuers that are in default or that are in bankruptcy. The value of collateral, if any, securing a senior loan can decline or may be insufficient to meet the issuer's obligations or may be difficult to liquidate. No active trading market may exist for many senior loans, and many loans are subject to restrictions on resale. Any secondary market may be subject to irregular trading activity and extended settlement periods. There is less readily available, reliable information about most senior loans than is the case for many other types of securities. Loans may not be considered "securities," and purchasers, such as a Fund, therefore may not be entitled to rely on the anti-fraud protections afforded by federal securities laws.
Segment Reporting - In accordance with the FASB Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2023-07, Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures, each Fund has evaluated its business activities and determined that it operates as a single reportable segment.
The Chief Operating Decision Maker ("CODM") is the Chief Executive Officer of the Advisers and the Principal Executive Officer ("PEO") and the Principal Financial Officer ("PFO") of the Funds. The CODM has concluded that each Fund operates as a single operating segment since the Funds each have a single investment strategy as disclosed in the prospectus, against which the CODM assesses performance. The financial information provided to and reviewed by the CODM is presented within the Funds' financial statements.
Income Taxes - The Funds adopted FASB Accounting Standards Update 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740) - Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures ("ASU 2023-09"), which enhances income tax disclosures, including disclosure of income taxes paid disaggregated by jurisdiction. Management has reviewed the impact of the new standard and concludes there is no material impact to the Funds' financial position or the results of its operations as of April 30, 2026; and therefore, no additional related disclosures were included in these financial statements.
Restricted Securities - Restricted securities are securities that may only be resold upon registration under federal securities laws or in transactions exempt from such registration. In some cases, the issuer of restricted securities has agreed to register such securities for resale, at the issuer's expense, either upon demand by a fund or in connection with another registered offering of the securities. Many restricted securities may be resold in the secondary market in transactions exempt from registration. Such restricted securities may be determined to be liquid. Each Fund will not incur any registration costs upon such resale. Each Fund's restricted securities are valued at the price provided by pricing services or dealers in the secondary market or, if no market prices are available,at the fair value price as determined by the Fund's adviser pursuant to each Fund's fair value policy, subject to oversight by the Board.

4. Capital Share Transactions
Effective the market close on March 11, 2025, the Polen Bank Loan Fund (the "Acquired Fund") implemented a 1-for-2.54 reverse stock split. The net effect of the Fund's reverse stock split was to decrease the number of the Acquired Fund's outstanding common shares and increase the net asset value per common share by a proportionate amount. While the number of the Acquired Fund's outstanding common shares declined, neither the Acquired Fund's holdings nor the total value of shareholders' investments were affected. Immediately after the reverse stock split, each common shareholder held the same percentage of the Acquired Fund's outstanding common shares that was held immediately prior to the reverse stock split. Capital share activity referenced in the table below, and per share data, including the proportionate impact to market price, in the Financial Highlights table have been restated to reflect the reverse stock split.
Capital shares are issued and redeemed by the Funds only in aggregations of a specified number of shares or multiples thereof ("Creation Units") at NAV. Except when aggregated in Creation Units, shares of the Funds are not redeemable.

Significant Shareholders
As of April 30, 2026, PCM held 28.66% of the Polen Floating Rate Income ETF, and is considered an affiliated shareholder.
5. Federal Tax Information
The Funds have followed the authoritative guidance on accounting for and disclosure of uncertainty in tax positions, which requires the Funds to determine whether a tax position is more likely than not to be sustained upon examination, including resolution of any related appeals or litigation processes, based on the technical merits of the position. Tax positions not deemed to meet the more-likely-than-not threshold would be recorded as tax benefit or expense in the current year. Each Fund has determined that there was no effect on the financial statements from following this authoritative guidance. In the normal course of business, the Funds are subject to examination by federal, state and local jurisdictions, where applicable, for tax years for which applicable statutes of limitations have not expired.
Distributions are determined in accordance with federal income tax regulations, which may differ in amount or character from net investment income and realized gains for financial reporting purposes. Accordingly, the character of distributions and composition of net assets for tax purposes may differ from those reflected in the accompanying financial statements. To the extent these differences are permanent, such amounts are reclassified within the components of net assets based on the tax treatment; temporary differences do not require reclassifications. These temporary differences are primarily due to wash sales, capital loss carryforwards, distributions payable, late-year loss deferrals and amortization. Net assets were not affected by this adjustment.

6. Line of Credit
On July 1, 2025, the Funds, together with other Polen Funds, collectively referred to as the "Funds," entered into an unsecured committed line of credit with The Bank of New York Mellon. The line of credit permits the Funds to borrow up to $5 million in the aggregate, subject to each Fund's investment restrictions and its contractual obligations under the line of credit agreement. The line of credit is intended to be used for temporary or emergency purposes, including the financing of shareholder redemptions.
Interest is charged to each Fund based on its borrowings at a rate equal to 1.40% plus the greater of (1) the Federal Funds effective rate or (2) the Secured Overnight Financing Rate in effect on the applicable day. In addition, a commitment fee of 0.20% per annum on the unused portion of the line of credit is allocated among the participating funds based on their relative net assets and paid quarterly. During the year ended April 30, 2026, the Funds did not borrow under the line of credit.
7. Commitments and Contingencies
The Funds may make commitments pursuant to bridge loan facilities. Such commitments typically remain off balance sheet as it is more likely than not, based on the good faith judgement of each Adviser, that such bridge facilities will not ever fund. As of April 30, 2026, there were no outstanding bridge facility commitments.
Unfunded Loan Commitments - Each Fund may enter into unfunded loan commitments. Unfunded loan commitments may be partially or wholly unfunded. During the contractual period, the Fund is obliged to provide funding to the borrower upon demand. A fee is earned by a Fund on the unfunded loan commitment and is recorded as interest income on the Statement of Operations. Unfunded loan commitments on senior loan participations and assignments, if any, are marked to market daily and valued according to the Trust's valuation policies and procedures. Any applicable net unrealized appreciation or depreciation at the end of the reporting period is recorded as an asset and any change in net unrealized appreciation or depreciation for the reporting period is recorded within the change in net unrealized appreciation or depreciation on investments. Unfunded loan commitments are included in the Portfolio of Investments. As of April 30, 2026, the Polen Floating Rate Income ETF had unfunded loan commitments of $20,577 (see details in the Portfolio of Investments).

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.
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 April 30, 2026, by correspondence with the custodian, brokers and agent banks; when replies were not received from brokers or agent banks, we performed other auditing procedures.
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.
