The Advisers Investment Trust (the “Trust”) is an open-end registered investment company established under the laws of Ohio by an Agreement and Declaration of Trust registered March 1, 2011 (the “Trust Agreement”). The Trust commenced operations on December 20, 2011. The Independent Franchise Partners US Equity Fund (the “IFP US Equity Fund” or “Fund”) is a series of the Trust. The Trust Agreement permits the Board of Trustees (the “Trustees” or “Board”) to authorize and issue an unlimited number of shares of beneficial interest, at no par value, in separate series of the Trust. These schedule of investments and notes only relate to the Fund.
 
Significant accounting policies related to Investments are as follows:
 
INVESTMENT VALUATION
 
Investments are recorded at fair value. Fair value is defined as 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. The valuation techniques employed by the Fund, as described below, maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs in determining fair value. These inputs are summarized in the following three broad levels:
 
      Level 1 — quoted prices in active markets for identical assets
 
      Level 2 — other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices of similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.)
 
●      Level 3 — 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. For example, certain short-term debt securities may be valued using amortized cost. Generally, amortized cost approximates the current value of a security, but since this valuation is not obtained from a quoted price in an active market, such securities would be reflected as Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy.
 
Security prices are generally provided by an independent third party pricing service approved by the Trustees as of the close of the New York Stock Exchange, normally at 4:00 pm EST, each business day on which the share price of the Fund is calculated. Equity securities listed or traded on a primary exchange are valued at the closing price, if available, or the last sales price on the primary exchange. If no sale occurred on the valuation date, the securities will be valued at the latest quotations as of the close of the primary exchange. Investments in other open-end registered investment companies are valued at their respective net asset value as reported by such companies. In these types of situations, valuations are typically categorized as a Level 1 in the fair value hierarchy.
 
Debt and other fixed income securities are generally valued at an evaluated price provided by an independent pricing source approved by the Trustees. To value debt securities, pricing services may use various pricing techniques which take into account appropriate factors such as market activity, yield, quality, coupon rate, maturity, type of issue, trading characteristics, call features, credit ratings and other data, as well as broker quotes. Short-term debt securities of sufficient credit quality that mature within sixty days are valued at amortized cost, which approximates fair value. In each of these situations, valuations are typically categorized as Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy.
 
When the price of a security is not readily available or deemed unreliable (e.g., an approved pricing service does not provide a price, a furnished price is in error, certain stale prices, or an event occurs that materially affects the furnished price), the Fund’s Fair Value Committee may in good faith establish a fair value for that security in

accordance with procedures established by and under the general supervision of the Trustees. In addition, fair value pricing may be used if events materially affecting the value of foreign securities occur between the time when the exchange on which they are traded closes and the time when the Fund’s net asset value is calculated. The Fund identifies possible fluctuations in international securities by monitoring the increase or decrease in the value of a designated benchmark index. In the event of an increase or decrease greater than predetermined levels, the Fund may use a systematic valuation model provided by an independent third party pricing service to fair value its’ international equity securities.
 
In the fair value situations as noted above, while the Trust’s valuation policy is intended to result in a calculation of the Fund’s net asset value that fairly reflects security values as of the time of pricing, the Trust cannot ensure that fair values determined pursuant to these guidelines would accurately reflect the price that the Fund could obtain for a security if it were to dispose of that security as of the time of pricing (for instance, in a forced or distressed sale). The prices used by the Fund may differ from the value that would be realized if the securities were sold, and these differences could be material to the financial statements. Depending on the source and relative significance of the valuation inputs in these instances, the instruments may be classified as Level 2 or Level 3 in the fair value hierarchy.
 
The following is a summary of the valuation inputs used as of June 30, 2013 in valuing the Fund’s investments based upon the three fair value levels defined above:

The Advisers Investment Trust (the “Trust”) is an open-end registered investment company established under the laws of Ohio by an Agreement and Declaration of Trust registered March 1, 2011 (the “Trust Agreement”). The Trust commenced operations on December 20, 2011. The AIT Global Emerging Markets Opportunity Fund (the “Emerging Markets Fund” or the “Fund”) is a series of the Trust and commenced operations on May 15, 2013. The Trust Agreement permits the Board of Trustees (the “Trustees” or “Board”) to authorize and issue an unlimited number of shares of beneficial interest, at no par value, in separate series of the Trust. These schedule of investments and notes only relate to the Fund.
 
Significant accounting policies related to Investments are as follows:
 
INVESTMENT VALUATION
 
Investments are recorded at fair value.  Fair value is defined as 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. The valuation techniques employed by the Fund, as described below, maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs in determining fair value. These inputs are summarized in the following three broad levels:
 
      Level 1 — quoted prices in active markets for identical assets
 
●      Level 2 — other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices of similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.)
 
●      Level 3 — 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. For example, certain short-term debt securities may be valued using amortized cost. Generally, amortized cost approximates the current value of a security, but since this valuation is not obtained from a quoted price in an active market, such securities would be reflected as Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy.
 
Security prices are generally provided by an independent third party pricing service approved by the Trustees as of the close of the New York Stock Exchange, normally at 4:00 pm EST, each business day on which the share price of the Fund is calculated. Equity securities listed or traded on a primary exchange are valued at the closing price, if available, or the last sales price on the primary exchange. If no sale occurred on the valuation date, the securities will be valued at the latest quotations as of the close of the primary exchange. Investments in other open-end registered investment companies are valued at their respective net asset value as reported by such companies. In these types of situations, valuations are typically categorized as a Level 1 in the fair value hierarchy.

Debt and other fixed income securities, if any, are generally valued at an evaluated price provided by an independent pricing source approved by the Trustees. To value debt securities, pricing services may use various pricing techniques which take into account appropriate factors such as market activity, yield, quality, coupon rate, maturity, type of issue, trading characteristics, call features, credit ratings and other data, as well as broker quotes. Short-term debt securities of sufficient credit quality that mature within sixty days are valued at amortized cost, which approximates fair value. In each of these situations, valuations are typically categorized as Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy.
 
When the price of a security is not readily available or deemed unreliable (e.g., an approved pricing service does not provide a price, a furnished price is in error, certain stale prices, or an event occurs that materially affects the furnished price), the Fund’s Fair Value Committee may in good faith establish a fair value for that security in accordance with procedures established by and under the general supervision of the Trustees.   In addition, fair value pricing may be used if events materially affecting the value of foreign securities occur between the time when the exchange on which they are traded closes and the time when the Fund’s net asset value is calculated.  The Fund identifies possible fluctuations in international securities by monitoring the increase or decrease in the value of a designated benchmark index. In the event of an increase or decrease greater than predetermined levels, the Fund may use a systematic valuation model provided by an independent third party pricing service to fair value its’ international equity securities.
 
In the fair value situations as noted above, while the Trust’s valuation policy is intended to result in a calculation of the Fund’s net asset value that fairly reflects security values as of the time of pricing, the Trust cannot ensure that fair values determined pursuant to these guidelines would accurately reflect the price that the Fund could obtain for a security if it were to dispose of that security as of the time of pricing (for instance, in a forced or distressed sale).  The prices used by the Fund may differ from the value that would be realized if the securities were sold, and these differences could be material to the financial statements. Depending on the source and relative significance of the valuation inputs in these instances, the instruments may be classified as Level 2 or Level 3 in the fair value hierarchy.
 
The following is a summary of the valuation inputs used as of June 30, 2013 in valuing the Fund’s investments based upon the three fair value levels defined above:

EQUITY-LINKED SECURITIES
 
The Fund may invest in equity-linked securities, also known as participation notes.  The Fund may use these instruments as an alternate means to gain exposure to what is generally an emerging securities market, such as countries in which it does not have local accounts.  These instruments represent interests in securities listed on certain foreign exchanges, and thus present similar risks to investing directly in such equity securities. These instruments are generally issued by the associates of foreign-based foreign brokerages and domestic institutional brokerages. Accordingly, the equity-linked securities also expose investors to counterparty risk, which is the risk that the entity issuing the note may not be able to honor its financial commitments.  At June 30, 2013 the Fund held equity-linked securities issued by counterparty, CLSA Financial Products Ltd, which represented 20.7% of the Fund’s net assets.
