The performance data quoted represents past performance and is not a guarantee of future results. Investment return and principal value of an investment will fluctuate so that an investor’s shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. Current performance may be lower or higher than the performance information quoted. To obtain performance information current to the most recent month-end, please call 1-877-997-9971.
The Fund commenced investment operations on July 1, 2015, after the conversion of a private fund (the “Private Fund”) into shares of the Fund. The performance prior to the Fund’s inception is for the Private Fund, which commenced operations on August 1, 2008. The returns for the Private Fund reflect its performance prior to the conversion into the Fund. The Private Fund was not registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940 and was not subject to certain restrictions under that Act, but if the Private Fund had been registered, it is possible the performance may have been adversely affected. The Fund’s objectives, policies, guidelines and restrictions are, in all material respects, equivalent to those of the Private Fund.
The gross and net expense ratios are 0.59% and 0.46%, respectively.*
The adviser has contractually agreed to waive its advisory fee from 0.27% to 0.21% and administrative services fee from 0.10% to 0.03% through July 31, 2024. Each arrangement may be terminated only by Aspiriant Trust’s Board of Trustees.
The Bloomberg Municipal Bond Index is an unmanaged index considered representative of the tax-exempt bond market. It includes most investment-grade tax-exempt bonds that are issued by state and local governments. It is not possible to invest directly in an index.
*Effective 8/1/2023.
Please consider the Fund’s investment objectives, risks, charges and expenses carefully before investing. The prospectus that contains this and other information about the Fund is available by calling 1.877.997.9971 and should be read carefully prior to investing.
An investment in the Fund is subject to risks, and you could lose money on your investment in the Fund. The Fund is exposed to the same risks that are associated with investing in underlying municipal securities owned by the Fund. The Fund is subject to interest rate risk; as interest rates rise, bond prices generally fall. Credit risk arises from an issuer’s ability to make interest and principal payments when due, as well as the prices of bonds declining when an issuer’s credit quality is expected to deteriorate. Investments in below investment grade or high yield securities are subject to liquidity risk and heightened credit risk. Investments in securities of non-U.S. issuers or U.S. issuers with significant non-U.S. operations may present more risk. The Fund may invest in illiquid securities, which may or may not be sold or disposed of in the ordinary course of business. The use of derivatives involves substantial financial risks and transaction costs. Certain derivatives may be illiquid. The Fund’s use of inverse floaters may magnify the potential for losses. The Fund periodically engages in portfolio leverage and when doing so, assumes a higher level of risk in pursuit of its objectives. Leverage involves the risk that the Fund could lose more than its original investment and also increases the Fund’s exposure to volatility, interest rate risk and credit risk. These and other risk considerations, such as preferred securities, call, counterparty, extension, defaulted securities, income, municipal lease obligations, political and economic, prepayment, restricted securities, tax, zero coupon bond risks, and, as a result of investing in underlying funds, short sale risk, are described in detail in the Fund’s prospectus.
