Description

SKYBRIDGE DIVIDEND VALUE FUND Annual Investment Adviser’s Report April 30, 2015 (Unaudited) Dear Fellow Shareholder, We are excited to have completed our first year of fund operations. After starting with $65,000 on April 7, of 2014, we had $100.5 million under management as of April 30, 2015. We appreciate your trust as stewards of your hard-earned assets. The S&P 500® Index was up 12.98% for the year ended April 30, 2015. During the same time period, our SkyBridge Dividend Value Fund’s Class I Shares were up 12.54%.

Class A Shares were up 9.74% since inception on June 13, 2014 and Class C Shares were up 14.26% since inception on October 17, 2014. Underweighting the financial and healthcare sectors hurt relative performance, while overweighting the consumer discretionary sector helped relative performance. The top three performing companies over the time period were Kraft Foods Group, Inc., Dr. Pepper Snapple Group, Inc.

and Six Flags Entertainment Corp. The bottom three performing companies were Mattel, Inc., Tupperware Brands Corporation and Coach, Inc. The Fund invests primarily in dividend yielding equity securities for which there is no guarantee that a company will increase or continue to pay dividends over time. The fund is subject to overall market risks which will cause its value to fluctuate over time as well as the Adviser’s ability to select securities to meet its objective. Our rules-based process allows us to take a long view, and the goal of our strategy is to outperform the S&P 500® Index over three year rolling time periods (net of fees and expenses).

The repeatable investment process seeks to identify profitable, attractively valued securities with appealing dividends and favors long term gains. We believe the current low interest rate environment generally favors equities over bonds, especially considering the tax advantages of equity dividends over bond income. As always, we thank you for your support. Sincerely, Brendan Voege Portfolio Manager Current and future portfolio holdings are subject to change and risk. 1 .

SKYBRIDGE DIVIDEND VALUE FUND Annual Report Performance Data (Continued) April 30, 2015 (Unaudited) Average Annual Total Returns for the Periods Ended April 30, 2015 Since 1 Year Inception Class A (without sales charge)* N/A 9.74%† Class A (with sales charge)* N/A 3.42%† S&P 500® Index N/A 9.56%(a)† Class C (without CDSC charge)* N/A 14.26%† Class C (with CDSC charge)* N/A 13.26%† S&P 500® Index N/A 11.70%(a)† Class I** 12.54% 14.17% S&P 500® Index 12.98% 15.46%(a) † Not Annualized. * Class A Shares and Class C Shares of the SkyBridge Dividend Value Fund (the “Fund”) commenced operations on June 13, 2014 and October 17, 2014, respectively. ** Class I Shares of the Fund commenced operations on April 7, 2014. (a) Benchmark performance is from inception date of the Class only and is not the inception date of the benchmark itself. The performance data quoted represents past performance and does not guarantee future results. The investment return and principal value of an investment in the Fund will fluctuate so that an investor’s shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. The graphs and tables do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on Fund distributions or redemption of Fund shares. Current performance may be lower or higher.

Performance data current to the most recent month-end may be obtained by calling (888) 919-6885. The returns shown for Class A Shares reflect a deduction for the maximum front-end sales charge of 5.75%. The returns shown for Class C reflect a 1.00% contingent deferred sales charge (“CDSC”). The Fund’s total annual gross and net operating expenses, as stated in the current prospectus dated September 1, 2014, are 2.32% and 1.25% for Class A Shares, 3.07% and 2.00% for Class C Shares and 2.07% and 1.00% for Class I Shares, respectively, of the Fund’s average daily net assets.

These ratios may differ from the actual expenses incurred by the Fund for the period covered by this report. SkyBridge Capital II, LLC (“SkyBridge” or the “Adviser”) has contractually agreed to reduce its management fee and/or reimburse certain expenses so as to limit expenses. The Expense Limitation (the “Expense Limitation”) will remain in place for three (3) years from the date of the Fund’s inception, unless the Board of Trustees approves its earlier termination.

Total returns would be lower had such fees and expenses not been waived and/or reimbursed. The Adviser is entitled to recover, subject to approval by the Board of Trustees of FundVantage Trust (the “Trust”), such amounts reduced or reimbursed for a period of up to three (3) years from the year in which the Adviser reduced its compensation and/or assumed expenses for the Fund. No recoupment will occur unless the Fund’s expenses are below the Expense Limitation. Mutual fund investing involves risk including the possible loss of principal.

The fund’s long term “buy and hold” strategy under certain market conditions may cause it to be more susceptible to general market declines. The fund seeks to invest in securities with dividend yield potential with both growth and value characteristics. Value investing involves the risk that companies believed to be undervalued may not appreciate as anticipated.

There are no guarantees 3 . SKYBRIDGE DIVIDEND VALUE FUND Annual Report Performance Data (Concluded) April 30, 2015 (Unaudited) a company will continue to pay or increase its dividend. The fund may invest in small to mid-capitalization companies which may be more volatile and less liquid than stocks of larger companies. The Fund intends to evaluate performance as compared to that of the S&P 500® Index. The S&P 500® Index is a widely recognized, unmanaged index of 500 common stocks which are generally representative of the U.S. stock market as a whole.

It is not possible to invest in an index. 4 . SKYBRIDGE DIVIDEND VALUE FUND Fund Expense Disclosure April 30, 2015 (Unaudited) As a shareholder of the Fund, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs including sales charges (loads) on purchase payments (if any) or redemption fees; and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees, distribution and/or service (Rule 12b-1) fees (if any) and other Fund expenses. These examples are intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds. These examples are based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period from November 1, 2014 through April 30, 2015 and held for the entire period. Actual Expenses The first line of the accompanying table provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this line, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid 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 in the first line under the heading entitled “Expenses Paid During Period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period. Hypothetical Examples for Comparison Purposes The second line of the accompanying 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 your Fund’s actual return.

The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Fund and other funds. To do so, compare these 5% hypothetical examples with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of other funds. Please note that the expenses shown in the accompanying table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transactional costs, such as sales charges (loads) on purchase payments (if any) or redemption fees.

Therefore, the second line of the accompanying table 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. 5 .

The Funds’ ending account values on the first line in the table are based on the actual six month total returns for the Fund of 7.92%, 7.56% and 8.05% for Class A, Class C and Class I Shares, respectively. 6 .

Organization and Significant Accounting Policies The SkyBridge Dividend Value Fund (the “Fund”) is a diversified, open-end management investment company registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”), which commenced operations on April 7, 2014. The Fund is a 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. The Fund offers Class A, Class C and Class I Shares. Class A Shares are sold subject to a front-end sales charge.

Front-end sales charges may be reduced or waived under certain circumstances. A contingent deferred sales charge (“CDSC”) may be applicable to the purchase of Class A Shares. A CDSC, as a percentage of the lower of the original purchase price or net asset value at redemption, of up to 1.00% may be imposed on full or partial redemptions of Class A Shares made within eighteen months of purchase where: (i) $1 million or more of Class A Shares were purchased without an initial sales charge and (ii) the selling broker-dealer received a commission for such sale.

A CDSC of up to 1.00% will be assessed when Class C Shares are redeemed within 18 months after initial purchase. The CDSC shall not apply to those purchases of Class C Shares where the selling broker-dealer did not receive a commission. Portfolio Valuation — The Fund’s net asset value (“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 Fund 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 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.

Fixed income securities having a remaining maturity of greater than 60 days are valued using an independent pricing service. Fixed income securities having a remaining maturity of 60 days or less are generally valued at amortized cost, provided such amount approximates fair value. Foreign securities are valued based on prices from the primary market in which they are traded and are translated from the local currency into U.S.

dollars using current exchange rates. 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). If market quotations are unavailable or deemed unreliable, securities will be valued in accordance with procedures adopted by the Trust’s 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. Fair Value Measurements — The inputs and valuation techniques used to measure fair value of the Fund’s investments are summarized into three levels as described in the hierarchy below: 16 . SKYBRIDGE DIVIDEND VALUE FUND Notes to Financial Statements (Continued) April 30, 2015 • Level 1 — 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 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. The following is a summary of the inputs used, as of April 30, 2015, in valuing the Fund’s investments carried at fair value: Total Value at 04/30/15 Common Stocks*. . . .

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 Fund’s 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 Fund 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 Fund to present a reconciliation of the beginning to ending balances for reported market values that presents changes attributable to total realized and unrealized gains or losses, purchase 17 . SKYBRIDGE DIVIDEND VALUE FUND Notes to Financial Statements (Continued) April 30, 2015 and sales, and transfers in and out of Level 3 during the period. Transfers in and out between Levels are based on values at the end of the period. U.S. GAAP also requires the Fund to disclose amounts and reasons for all transfers in and out of Level 1 and Level 2 fair value measurements.

A reconciliation of Level 3 investments is presented only when the Fund had an amount of Level 3 investments at the end of the reporting period that was meaningful in relation to its net assets. The amounts and reasons for all transfers in and out of each Level within the three-tier hierarchy are disclosed when the Fund had an amount of total transfers during the reporting period that was meaningful in relation to its net assets as of the end of the reporting period. For the year ended April 30, 2015, there were no transfers between Levels 1, 2 and 3 for the Fund. Use of Estimates — The Fund is an investment company and follows accounting and reporting guidance in the Financial Accounting Standards Board Accounting Standards Codification Topic 946. 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 is recorded on the accrual basis.

Dividends are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Distribution (12b-1) fees and shareholder services fees relating to a specific class are charged directly to that class. General expenses of the Trust are generally allocated to each fund in proportion to its relative daily net assets.

Expenses directly attributable to a particular fund in the Trust are charged directly to that fund. The Fund’s 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. Dividends and Distributions to Shareholders — Dividends from net investment income are declared and paid quarterly 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 Fund, after deducting any available capital loss carryovers, 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 the Fund’s intention to continue to qualify for and elect the tax treatment applicable to regulated investment companies under Subchapter 18 . SKYBRIDGE DIVIDEND VALUE FUND Notes to Financial Statements (Continued) April 30, 2015 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 Fund may enter into contracts that provide general indemnifications. The Fund’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is dependent on claims that may be made against the Fund in the future, and therefore, cannot be estimated; however, based on experience, the risk of material loss for such claims is considered remote. 2. Transactions with Affiliates and Related Parties SkyBridge Capital II, LLC (“SkyBridge” or the “Adviser”) serves as investment adviser to the Fund pursuant to an investment advisory agreement with the Trust (the “Advisory Agreement”).

For its services, the Adviser is paid a monthly fee at the annual rate of 0.75% of the Fund’s average daily net assets. The Adviser has contractually agreed to reduce its management fee and/or reimburse certain expenses of the Fund to the extent necessary to ensure that the Fund’s total operating expenses (excluding interest, extraordinary items, “Acquired Fund fees and expenses” and brokerage commissions) do not exceed (on an annual basis) 1.25% with respect to Class A shares, 2.00% with respect to Class C shares and 1.00% with respect to Class I shares of average daily net assets of the Fund (the “Expense Limitation”). The Expense Limitation will remain in place for three years from the date of the Fund’s inception, unless the Board of Trustees of FundVantage Trust (the “Trust”) approves its earlier termination. Subject to approval by the Board of Trustees, the Adviser may recoup any expenses or fees it has reimbursed within a three-year period from the year in which the Adviser reduced its compensation and/or assumed expenses of the Fund.

No recoupment will occur unless the Fund’s expenses are below the Expense Limitation. As of April 30, 2015, the amount of potential recovery was as follows: Expiration April 30, 2017 April 30, 2018 $25,454 $250,547 For the year ended April 30, 2015, the Adviser earned advisory fees of $333,766 and waived fees of $250,547. BNY Mellon Investment Servicing (US) Inc. (“BNY Mellon”) serves as administrator and transfer agent for the Fund. For providing administrative and accounting services, BNY Mellon is entitled to receive a monthly fee equal to an annual percentage rate of the Fund’s average daily net assets, subject to certain minimum monthly fees.

For providing transfer agency services, BNY Mellon is entitled to receive a monthly fee, subject to certain minimum, and out of pocket expenses. 19 . SKYBRIDGE DIVIDEND VALUE FUND Notes to Financial Statements (Continued) April 30, 2015 The Bank of New York Mellon (the “Custodian”) provides certain custodial services to the Fund. The Custodian is entitled to receive a monthly fee, subject to certain minimum, and out of pocket expenses. Foreside Funds Distributors LLC (the “Underwriter”) provides principal underwriting services to the Fund. The Trust and the Underwriter are parties to an underwriting agreement. The Trust has adopted a distribution plan for Class A and Class C Shares in accordance with Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act. Pursuant to the Class A and Class C Shares plan, the Fund compensates the Underwriter for direct and indirect costs and expenses incurred in connection with advertising, marketing and other distribution services in an amount not to exceed 0.25% and 1.00% (0.75% distribution fee and 0.25% shareholder service fee), respectively, on an annualized basis of the average daily net assets of the Fund’s Class A and Class C Shares. The Trustees of the Trust who are not officers or employees of an investment adviser, sub-adviser or other service provider to the Trust receive compensation in the form of an annual retainer and per meeting fees for their services as a Trustee. The remuneration paid to the Trustees by the Fund during the year ended April 30, 2015 was $4,131. Certain employees of BNY Mellon serve as Officers of the Trust.

They are not compensated by the Fund or the Trust. 3. Investment in Securities For the year ended April 30, 2015, aggregate purchases and sales of investment securities (excluding short-term investments) of the Fund were as follows: Purchases Investment Securities . .

Federal Tax Information The Fund has followed the authoritative guidance on accounting for and disclosure of uncertainty in tax positions, which requires the Fund 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. The Fund has determined that there was no effect on the financial statements from following this authoritative guidance.

In the normal course of business, the Fund is subject to examination by federal, state and local jurisdictions, where applicable, for tax years for which applicable statutes of limitations have not expired. 21 . SKYBRIDGE DIVIDEND VALUE FUND Notes to Financial Statements (Continued) April 30, 2015 In order to present net asset components on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities that more closely represent their tax character, certain reclassifications are made to the net asset components. For the year ended April 30, 2015, these adjustments were to increase accumulated net investment income by $12,185 and to decrease paid-in-capital by $12,185. This adjustment is attributable to disallowed expenses. Net realized gains and net assets were not affected by these adjustments. For the year ended April 30, 2015, the tax character of distributions paid by the Fund was $1,249,477 of ordinary income dividends. For the period ended April 30, 2014, no distributions were paid by the Fund.

Distributions from short-term capital gains are treated as ordinary income for federal income tax purposes. As of April 30, 2015, the components of distributable earnings on a tax basis were as follows: Capital Loss Carryforward Undistributed Ordinary Income Undistributed Long-Term Gain Unrealized Appreciation $— $3,223,214 $4,363 $2,250,232 The differences between the book and tax basis components of distributable earnings relate primarily to the timing and recognition of income and gains for federal income tax purposes. Short-term capital gains are reported as ordinary income for federal income tax purposes. As of April 30, 2015, the federal tax cost, aggregate gross unrealized appreciation and depreciation of securities held by the Fund were as follows: Federal tax cost . .

For the year ended April 30, 2015, the Fund had no short-term capital loss deferrals and no long-term capital loss deferrals. Accumulated capital losses represent net capital loss carryforwards as of April 30, 2015 that may be available to offset future realized capital gains and thereby reduce future capital gains distributions.

As of April 30, 2015, the Fund did not have any capital loss carryforwards. 22 . SKYBRIDGE DIVIDEND VALUE FUND Notes to Financial Statements (Concluded) April 30, 2015 6. Subsequent Events Management has evaluated the impact of all subsequent events on the Fund through the date the financial statements were issued, and has determined that there were no subsequent events requiring recognition or disclosure in the financial statements. 23 . SKYBRIDGE DIVIDEND VALUE FUND Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm To the Board of Trustees of the FundVantage Trust and Shareholders of the SkyBridge Dividend Value Fund: We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities, including the portfolio of investments, of the SkyBridge Dividend Value Fund (one of the series constituting FundVantage Trust) (the “Fund”) as of April 30, 2015, and the related statement of operations for the year then ended, the statements of changes in net assets for the year then ended and the period from April 7, 2014 (commencement of operations) to April 30, 2014, and the financial highlights for each of the periods indicated therein. These financial statements and financial highlights are the responsibility of the Fund’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and financial highlights based on our audits We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements and financial highlights are free of material misstatement. We were not engaged to perform an audit of the Fund’s internal control over financial reporting.

Our audits included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Fund’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements and financial highlights, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of April 30, 2015, by correspondence with the custodian and brokers or by other appropriate auditing procedures where replies from brokers were not received.

We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion. In our opinion, the financial statements and financial highlights referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the SkyBridge Dividend Value Fund (one of the series constituting FundVantage Trust) at April 30, 2015, the results of its operations for the year then ended, the changes in its net assets for the year then ended and the period from April 7, 2014 (commencement of operations) to April 30, 2014, and its financial highlights for each of the periods indicated therein, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. Philadelphia, Pennsylvania June 26, 2015 24 . SKYBRIDGE DIVIDEND VALUE FUND Shareholder Tax Information (Unaudited) The Fund is required by Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, to advise its shareholders of the U.S. federal tax status of distributions received by the Fund’s shareholders in respect of such fiscal year. During the fiscal year ended April 30, 2015, the Fund paid $1,249,477 of ordinary income dividends and no long-term capital gain dividends to its shareholders. Dividends from net investment income and short-term capital gains are treated as ordinary income dividends for federal income tax purposes. The Fund designates 35.76% of the ordinary income distribution as qualified dividend income pursuant to the Jobs and Growth Tax Relief Reconciliation Act of 2003. The percentage of ordinary income dividends qualifying for the corporate dividends received deduction is 35.62%. The Fund designates 99.86% of the ordinary income distributions as qualified short-term gain pursuant to the American Jobs Creation Act of 2004. All designations are based on financial information available as of the date of this annual report and, accordingly, are subject to change.

For each item, it is the intention of the Fund to designate the maximum amount permitted under the Internal Revenue Code and the regulations thereunder. Because the Fund’s fiscal year is not the calendar year, another notification will be sent with respect to calendar year 2015. The second notification, which will reflect the amount, if any, to be used by calendar year taxpayers on their U.S. federal income tax returns, will be made in conjunction with Form 1099-DIV and will be mailed in January 2016. Foreign shareholders will generally be subject to U.S.

withholding tax on the amount of their ordinary income dividends. They will generally not be entitled to a foreign tax credit or deduction for the withholding taxes paid by the Fund, if any. In general, dividends received by tax-exempt recipients (e.g., IRAs and Keoghs) need not be reported as taxable income for U.S. federal income tax purposes.

However, some retirement trusts (e.g., corporate, Keogh and 403(b)(7) plans) may need this information for their annual information reporting. Shareholders are advised to consult their own tax advisers with respect to the tax consequences of their investment in the Fund. 25 .
