ADVISORSHARES TRUST

Letter from the CEO of AdvisorShares Investments, LLC

 

December 31, 2022

 

 

There was no place to hide in 2022. Domestic equities, international equities, and the broad bond market, as measured by the Bloomberg Aggregate Bond Index, were all down double digits in 2022. The only slightly bright spot was domestic large cap value, however that category was still ultimately down for the year.

 

While equity and bond performance was negative and challenging, this was nothing compared to performance for “innovation” stocks (predominantly technology stocks) and other categories considered more risky or volatile, such as cannabis and cryptocurrency.

 

This was a year of cleaning up supply chains and paying the price for all the U.S. Government stimulus issued in 2020 and 2021. Inflation has been continuously growing in many categories, which caused the Federal Reserve to take aggressive action by increasing interest rates and continuing to reduce its balance sheet.

 

We expect the Federal Reserve to continue to aggressively fight inflation. Throughout 2022, the Federal Reserve has openly communicated its plans to the public. This transparency can be helpful for financial advisors and investors to understand how best to position their investment portfolios.

 

Looking forward, higher interest rates will take a toll on both valuations and the amount of speculative capital that will enter the market. We expect companies with strong cash flows to thrive in a higher interest rate environment. Additionally, we anticipate seeing fewer startups and IPOs and would not be surprised if mergers and acquisitions heat up as firms look for partners to ensure financial stability and growth. With a potential recession looming ahead (if we are not already in one), we believe investors will be less interested in broad market investing and more focused on risk management and hedging.

 

At AdvisorShares, we understand that our success is driven by the trust of our investors, and we appreciate your support. We will continue to seek to improve our existing ETF offerings by bringing more innovative strategies and managers to our ETF line-up. As we begin the second half of our fiscal year, our commitment to our shareholders remains paramount. We wish you nothing but health, happiness, and prosperity as we move forward.

 

Sincerest regards,
Noah Hamman
CEO, AdvisorShares Investments

Investing involves risk including possible loss of principal. The Advisor’s judgment about the markets, the economy, or companies may not anticipate actual market movements, economic conditions or company performance, and these factors may affect the return on your investment. The prices of equity securities rise and fall daily. Foreign investing involves special risks, such as risk of loss from currency fluctuation or political or economic uncertainty. Investments in emerging or offshore markets are generally less liquid and less efficient than investments in developed markets and are subject to additional risks, such as risks of adverse governmental regulation and intervention or political developments.

 

There is no guarantee the Advisor’s investment strategy will be successful. When models and data prove to be incorrect or incomplete, any decisions made in reliance thereon expose the Fund to potential risks. In addition, the use of predictive models has inherent risk. Because predictive models are usually constructed based on historical data supplied by third parties, the success of relying on such models may depend heavily on the accuracy and reliability of the supplied historical data. The Fund’s particular allocations may have a significant effect on the Fund’s performance. Allocation risk is the risk that the selection of ETFs and the allocation of assets among such ETFs will cause the Fund to underperform other funds with a similar investment objective that do not allocate their assets in the same manner or the market as a whole. For a list of the asset class specific risks please see the prospectus.

The views in this report were those of the Fund’s CEO as of December 31, 2022 and may not reflect his views on the date that this report is first published or anytime thereafter. These views are intended to assist shareholders in understanding their investments and do not constitute investment advice.

Shareholder Expense Examples (Unaudited)

 

As a shareholder of a Fund, you incur transaction costs and ongoing costs, including management fees and other Fund expenses. The following example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars and cents) of investing in a Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other funds. The examples are based on an initial investment of $1,000 invested at July 1, 2022 and held for the period ended December 31, 2022, unless noted below for Funds not in operations for the full six month period.

 

Actual Expenses

 

The first line under each Fund in the table below provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you incurred over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8 6), then multiply the result by the number under the heading entitled “Expenses Paid” to estimate the expenses attributable to your account during this period.

 

Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes

 

The second line under each Fund in the table provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Fund’s actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Fund’s actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Funds and other ETF funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of other funds.

 

Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transactional costs. Therefore, the hypothetical example is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds.

 

In addition, if these transactional costs were included, your costs would have been higher.

Fair Value Measurements

 

The following is a summary of the inputs used, as of December 31, 2022, in valuing the Fund’s assets and liabilities carried at fair value. These inputs are summarized in three broad levels. Level 1 includes quoted prices in active markets for identical securities. Level 2 includes other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds and credit risk). Level 3 includes significant unobservable inputs (including the Fund’s own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments). The level assigned to the securities valuations may not be an indication of the risk or liquidity associated with investing in those securities.

Fair Value Measurements

 

The following is a summary of the inputs used, as of December 31, 2022, in valuing the Fund’s assets and liabilities carried at fair value. These inputs are summarized in three broad levels. Level 1 includes quoted prices in active markets for identical securities. Level 2 includes other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds and credit risk). Level 3 includes significant unobservable inputs (including the Fund’s own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments). The level assigned to the securities valuations may not be an indication of the risk or liquidity associated with investing in those securities.

Fair Value Measurements

 

The following is a summary of the inputs used, as of December 31, 2022, in valuing the Fund’s assets and liabilities carried at fair value. These inputs are summarized in three broad levels. Level 1 includes quoted prices in active markets for identical securities. Level 2 includes other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds and credit risk). Level 3 includes significant unobservable inputs (including the Fund’s own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments). The level assigned to the securities valuations may not be an indication of the risk or liquidity associated with investing in those securities.
