Filing Summary: Elevation Series Trust has filed a Registration Statement under the Securities Act of 1933 for a merger of Vulcan Value Partners Fund and Vulcan Value Partners Small Cap Fund from Financial Investors Trust into newly created series within Elevation Series Trust. A Special Meeting of Shareholders is scheduled for August 7, 2025, where shareholders will vote on the Agreement and Plan of Reorganization to transfer assets of the Acquired Funds in exchange for shares of the Acquiring Funds. The Reorganizations are expected to maintain the same investment objectives and strategies, at potentially lower expense ratios for the Acquiring Funds. The move aims to maximize benefits for shareholders, including tax-free treatment upon the exchange of shares and no direct expenses for the Acquired Funds during the reorganization process.
