A Few Words on Closed-End Funds

Royce & Associates, LLC manages four closed-end funds: Royce Value Trust, a small-cap value closed-end fund offering; Royce Micro-Cap Trust, a micro-cap closed-end fund; Royce Focus Trust, a closed-end fund that invests in a limited number of primarily small-cap companies; and Royce Global Value Trust, a global closed-end offering that invests in a broadly diversified portfolio of both U.S. and non-U.S. small-cap stocks.

A closed-end fund is an investment company whose shares are listed and traded on a stock exchange. Like all investment companies, including open-end mutual funds, the assets of a closed-end fund are professionally managed in accordance with the investment objectives and policies approved by the Fund’s Board of Directors. A closed-end fund raises cash for investment by issuing a fixed number of shares through initial and other public offerings that may include shelf offerings and periodic rights offerings. Proceeds from the offerings are invested in an actively managed portfolio of securities. Investors wanting to buy or sell shares of a publicly traded closed-end fund after the offerings must do so on a stock exchange, as with any publicly traded stock. Shares of closed-end funds frequently trade at a discount to their net asset value. This is in contrast to open-end mutual funds, in which the fund sells and redeems its shares on a continuous basis.

A Closed-End Fund Offers Several Distinct Advantages Not Available from an Open-End Fund Structure

	Since a closed-end fund does not issue redeemable securities or offer its securities on a continuous basis, it does not need to liquidate securities or hold uninvested assets to meet investor demands for cash redemptions, as an open-end fund must.

	In a closed-end fund, not having to meet investor redemption requests or invest at inopportune times is ideal for value managers who attempt to buy stocks when prices are depressed and sell securities when prices are high.

	A closed-end fund may invest more freely in less liquid portfolio securities because it is not subject to potential stockholder redemption demands. This is particularly beneficial for Royce-managed closed-end funds, which invest in small- and micro-cap securities.

	The fixed capital structure allows permanent leverage to be employed as a means to enhance capital appreciation potential.

	Unlike Royce’s open-end funds, our closed-end funds are able to distribute capital gains on a quarterly basis. Each of the Funds other than Royce Global Value Trust has adopted a quarterly distribution policy for its common stock. Please see pages 18-20 for more details.

	We believe that the closed-end fund structure is very suitable for the long-term investor who understands the benefits of a stable pool of capital.

Why Dividend Reinvestment is Important

A very important component of an investor’s total return comes from the reinvestment of distributions. By reinvesting distributions, our investors can maintain an undiluted investment in a Fund. To get a fair idea of the impact of reinvested distributions, please see the charts on pages 11, 13, and 15. For additional information on the Funds’ Distribution Reinvestment and Cash Purchase Options and the benefits for stockholders, please see page 20 or visit our website at www.roycefunds.com.

The Board of Directors for each of Royce Value Trust, Royce Micro-Cap Trust and Royce Focus Trust has authorized a managed distribution policy (“MDP”) paying quarterly distributions at an annual rate of 7% (for Royce Value and Micro-Cap Trust) and 5% (for Royce Focus Trust) of the average of the prior four quarter-end net asset values. With each distribution, these Funds will issue a notice to stockholders and an accompanying press release which will provide detailed information regarding the amount and composition of the distribution and other information required by a Fund’s MDP. You should not draw any conclusions about a Fund’s investment performance from the amount of distributions or from the terms of a Fund’s MDP. A Fund’s Board of Directors may amend or terminate the MDP at any time without prior notice to stockholders; however, at this time, there are no reasonably foreseeable circumstances that might cause the termination of any of the MDPs.

For more than 40 years, we have used a value-oriented approach to invest in small-cap securities. We focus primarily on the quality of a company’s balance sheet, its ability to generate free cash flow, and other measures of profitability or sound financial condition. We then use these factors to assess the company’s current worth, basing the assessment on either what we believe a knowledgeable buyer might pay to acquire the entire company or what we think the value of the company should be in the stock market.

No Drama
Whatever other opinions we may all hold about the stock market’s behavior over the last six years, we think everyone can agree that it has certainly been dramatic. The action began in earnest in the fall of 2008, although it is important to recall that small-cap stock prices had actually been falling for more than a year prior to that—the peak for the Russell 2000 Index having been established on July 13, 2007. Yet the full effects of the bear were unleashed by the events of the Financial Crisis, which keyed the dangerously precipitous nosedive of share prices in the fall of 2008. The tumult lasted until small-caps finally hit a bottom on March 9, 2009. The fear and anxiety the descent created, however, reached into the next several years. The feeling of extraordinary fragility that characterized the early days of the recovery in the spring of 2009 did not magically evaporate when markets began to find their feet again. In fact, one could argue that these emotions dominated the behavior of investors at least until the end of 2012. The three years from 2010 through 2012 were eventful, even if the stress and excitement they generated did not equal that of the first six months of 2009. In fact, much of the market’s most extreme moves in that entire four-year span (2009-2012) took place in the first six months of those years, driven in large part by events both actual and potential. The recession in the U.S., debt issues in Europe, and slow growth in China were all very real, while a double-dip recession here at home, default in Europe, and implosion in China fortunately failed to materialize. By the end of 2012, with the stock market climbing and the economy expanding, investors seemed to recognize that, in spite of high volatility and political uncertainty, equity returns had been solidly positive since the March 2009 bottom. This improved confidence helped to spur a different kind

Charles M. Royce, President The long-running, and probably unresolvable, debate about active versus passive investment strategies has taken on new life in the years since the onset of the Financial Crisis, often to the detriment of active approaches. To take one example, Morningstar compiled data showing that inflows into equity mutual funds have been dwarfed by those into equity ETFs (exchange traded funds) measuring from the momentous year of 2008. For the six calendar years from 2008-2013, traditional equity funds have taken in $5.52 billion while ETFs have attracted $389.08 billion. That’s quite a disparity. It seems to be no secret that many active managers have struggled to keep pace with their respective equity indexes in these often eventful years. These years have also seen a raft of studies purporting to show that most investment managers are unable to consistently beat the market, i.e., regularly outperform a relevant index such as the Russell 2000 or S&P 500 Indexes. Perhaps unsurprisingly, we would offer two caveats before one embraces uncritically the notion that passive Continued on page 6...			Letter to Our Stockholders of dramatic arc. The long, slow recovery entered a new phase in 2013—a heady, and virtually correction-free, bull run in which returns for each of the major domestic stock indexes topped 30%. The curtain opened on 2014, then, on the heels of one of the better calendar-year performances in the history of domestic equities, which followed four consecutive years of mostly rising stock prices in an uncertain economy. So the question now is, what is the next act for equities? Some argue that the economy is not strong enough to really take flight. They worry about the rich valuations sported by large numbers of stocks. Others see the relative absence of volatility as a sign of complacency and fret that stocks are about to enter a destructive bear phase. There are those who point to increasingly unsettled international situations, such as in Ukraine, Syria, and Iraq, and argue that the market cannot continue to pretend that events in these nations take place far offstage, not in an increasingly intertwined global economy. We, however, are in accord with the more widespread consensus that sees the U.S. economy as gradually normalizing. As evidence we would point to the following: The deficit continues to fall, the Fed continues to wind down the rate of its monthly bond purchases, and interest rates, though they remain close to zero, look likely to rise again in the near future, as they did last year between May and December. Inflation is tame, commodity prices stable. Volatility, as measured by the VIX, finished the first half of 2014 at low levels not seen since 2007. Add an increasingly robust M&A market, and it seems to us that the recipe for ongoing growth—and bullishness, however mild, at least compared to last year—seems almost complete. And this process of normalization looks likely to accelerate as the Fed’s role recedes further and further into the background, setting the stage for a more dynamic pace of growth. So while there remain voices who insist that stocks are overvalued, we think the case for additional gains, which could include a correction along the way, remains persuasive. It seems to us that the relatively lower returns of the first half of 2014 indicate not an end to a bull phase, but a chance for the market to catch its breath and assess its surroundings. It may be that investors need a break from all the drama, a respite from the unrelenting pace of the last six years. So the desire to stand back for a moment and evaluate what is happening seems eminently reasonable. How many investors have enjoyed more than a few moments of true calm since before the recession began back in 2007? Ultimately, we suspect that both the expanding economy and slower pace of returns will result in more fundamentally focused investors. Indeed, the indications that the strength of companies and the businesses they manage are beginning to matter more than indexes and the macro events that move them go back to the spring of 2012, when quality stocks—those with high returns on invested capital—enjoyed a brief run of outperformance. This nascent phenomenon re-started—again, briefly—in May 2013 when the 10-year Treasury rate reached a bottom. Quality companies, particularly those in our chosen small-cap space, have not yet emerged as leaders, but they have inched closer over the last two years. Correlation levels throughout the market are falling. These are excellent conditions, in our view, for disciplined active management approaches, especially those with a long-term investment horizon.

No Direction Home
U.S. stocks turned in a respectable performance in the first half of 2014. If results were not as lofty as they were in the first half of 2013 (and they were not), they were achieved in a more tranquil domestic environment than in the first halves of 2010, 2011, or 2012. One consequence of the more relaxed atmosphere of the first half was that stocks did not seem to know quite what to do with themselves. While the overvalued/not-quite-overvalued-yet argument goes on, the market has not established a clear direction so far in 2014. The bull has so far remained in place during the current cycle; he simply slowed his run to a brisk walk in the first half. For the year-to-date period ended June 30, 2014, the major domestic indexes remained in the black. The small-cap Russell 2000 Index gained 3.2%, taking a back seat to the more tech-oriented Nasdaq Composite, which advanced 5.5% in the first half, and the large-cap S&P 500 and Russell 1000 Indexes, which scored respective gains of 7.1% and 7.3% for the year-to-date period ended June 30, 2014.				Quality companies, particularly those in our chosen small-cap space, have not yet emerged as leaders, but they have inched closer over the last two years. Correlation levels through-out the market are falling. These are excellent conditions, in our view, for disciplined active management approaches, especially those with a long-term investment horizon.
The year began on a more moderate note following a red-hot second half of 2013. Nevertheless, 2014’s opening quarter was the seventh consecutive quarter of positive performance for the Russell 2000, which rose 1.1%. Large-caps led for the quarter—the S&P 500 and Russell 1000 gained 1.8% and 2.0%, respectively, while the Nasdaq Composite rose 0.5%. Small-caps reached a first-half high on March 4, and the only correction so far this year was the 9.1% drop for the Russell 2000 from that date through May 15, 2014. April was thus the cruelest month, but a series of mini-rallies from mid-May through the end of June made the second quarter mostly positive. The Russell 2000 posted its eighth consecutive positive quarter, up 2.0%. Once again, large-cap outperformed, with the S&P 500 advancing 5.2% and the Russell 1000 up 5.1% for the second quarter. The Nasdaq bounced back strong as well, climbing 5.0% in the second quarter and leaving only the small-cap index out of the five-percent club.
Small-cap held onto leadership outside the U.S. In the first quarter, the Russell Global ex-U.S. Small Cap Index was up 3.2% while the Russell Global ex-U.S. Large Cap Index rose 0.8%. Results were stronger in the second quarter and, as in the first, closer to their domestic counterparts than we have seen in a while. For the second quarter, the Russell Global ex-U.S. Small Cap was up 4.2% versus 5.0% for the Russell Global ex-U.S. Large Cap. Year-to-date, non-U.S. small-caps had the edge, with the Russell Global ex-U.S. Small Cap returning 7.5% versus a gain of 5.8% for the Russell Global ex-U.S. Large Cap. After a challenging first quarter, many Asian equities bounced back in the second and finished closer to the European indexes, most of which had been on a tear prior to cooling off in the second quarter. Moving back to the U.S., mid-cap and micro-caps were equally solid in the first quarter. The Russell Midcap Index was up 3.5% versus a gain of 3.0% for the Russell Microcap Index in 2014’s first three months. This pattern broke down around the time of the March 4 small-cap high and can be seen in the second-quarter results for each index. The Russell Midcap continued its notable 2014				U.S. stocks turned in a respectable performance in the first half of 2014. If results were not as lofty as they were in the first half of 2013 (and they were not), they were achieved in a more tranquil domestic environment than in the first halves of 2010, 2011, or 2012.

	investing is always better: First, a number of managers have consistently outperformed the market over long-term periods and especially within the small-cap asset category. In fact, we believe strongly in the idea that it is not necessary for all managers to beat the market in order for active management to be validated as an approach. Our second note of caution relates to time periods. While it would be nice to outperform an index every year, it is just as unrealistic to expect that as it would be to expect an index to outperform active management every year. It is also unrealistic to expect a high degree of outperformance in the long term without experiencing some short-term underperformance periods. A willingness to stick to one’s approach, regardless of market movements and trends, is critical to long-term outperformance in our opinion. This is especially important during market extremes because there are active managers who exhibit style drift or other changes in their discipline when their investment style falls out of favor or is stressed, such as during the tech bubble. Successful active management also entails a willingness to think independently in terms of sector and industry weightings. It is not unusual for the most successful managers to be significantly out of sync relative to a Continued on page 8...

2014 YEAR-TO-DATE NAV AND MARKET PRICE TOTAL RETURNS FOR ROYCE’S CLOSED-END FUNDS VS. RUSSELL 2000, RUSSELL MICROCAP, RUSSELL 2500 AND THE RUSSELL GLOBAL SMALL-CAP INDEXES as of 6/30/14



¹	Certain immaterial adjustments were made to the net assets of Royce Global Value Trust at 6/30/2014 for financial reporting purposes, and as a result the net asset value originally calculated on that date and the total returns based on that net asset value differs from that adjusted net asset value and total return reported in the Financial Highlights.

performance, rising 5.0% in the second quarter. This gave mid-caps an impressive 8.7% advance on a year-to-date basis. In contrast, micro-caps struggled in the second quarter, suffering more in the brief downturn than their larger cousins. The Russell Microcap Index fell 1.4% for the quarter and was up only 1.6% for the year-to-date period ended June 30, 2014. Many mid-cap stocks have demonstrated strong records of growth over the last few years, and their success throughout the entire post-Financial Crisis cycle has not been a surprise to us. In fact, mid-caps have been an area of significant interest to us for years now. The small- and micro-cap spaces have, by contrast, high numbers of very speculative companies and are typically more volatile—sometimes much more so in the case of micro-caps. They have also enjoyed very strong results over the last several years. The three- and five-year annualized returns through the end of June for the Russell 2000 and Russell Microcap Indexes were terrific on an absolute basis. With equity investors acting more cautiously, if not always consistently, so far in 2014, the relative breather for small- and micro-cap stocks—and we do not think it’s any more than a breather—was also not a surprise.

No Excuses Each of our four closed-end funds enjoyed strong absolute performance in the first half. We were pleased with both the year-to-date and one-year results for the three portfolios with sufficient history, though we recognize fully that more needs to be done with regard to relative performance, especially over more intermediate-term periods. Two portfolios outpaced their respective benchmarks on both an NAV (net asset value) and market price basis for the year-to-date period ended June 30, 2014—Royce Micro-Cap Trust and Focus Trust. These same two funds also beat their respective benchmarks for the one-year period ended June 30, 2014. This was welcome news because, with a few exceptions, shorter-term performance advantages have been elusive over the last few years. Of course short-term outperformance must always be kept in perspective as exactly that—short term. We are hopeful, however, having seen Royce Value Trust and Focus Trust narrow the gap in their respective one-, three-, and five-year results versus their respective benchmarks over

the last three to four quarters. In addition, Royce Micro-Cap Trust held an edge over its benchmark in those periods. Finally, our three closed-end funds with more than 15 years of history have also generally held their relative edge for periods of a decade or longer.
Yet we still have work to do. As encouraged as we have been about the recent short spates of leadership for quality stocks and the likelihood that a strengthening, less Fed-dependent economy will benefit active small-cap approaches, lower quality small-caps again assumed leadership when prices were rallying in June. Investors are still working out their preferences. Profitable companies—as well those with high returns on invested capital—led through the downturn before falling behind in the up phase. The market thus remained a peculiar place in the first half. This may be because we still have a very active Fed at work in an economy that arguably has not needed the extra help in at least a year.

No Worries
We are very bullish about the prospects for active small-cap management. We have an obvious bias in favor of active approaches here at Royce, but we think that over the last 14 months—dating back to the low for the 10-year Treasury in May of last year—we have reached a point at which active management in small-cap stocks simply makes more sense, especially for long-term investors. Since that May 2013 low, company fundamentals have gradually become more important as drivers of share-price success. Rather than invest in a small-cap index vehicle in which approximately 25% of the companies are losing money (as was the case for the Russell 2000 for the 12 months ended May 31, 2014), we think it is smarter for investors to consider portfolios that look for well-run, financially strong companies with attractive long-term prospects.
So while quality has not yet seized small-cap leadership, we suspect that the reign of low-quality stocks is coming to an end. In our view, the next phase will be one in which companies with attractive characteristics such as strong balance sheets and high returns on invested capital should begin to lead. In spite of not showing as much strength when the market was recovering in May and June, many did well enough to lead the small-cap pack from the 2014 high in March through the end of the first half. We would expect something like this pattern to continue at least through the end of the year as the market continues to adjust to the growing normalization of the economy. With diverse small-cap sectors such as Consumer Discretionary, Health Care, and Information Technology showing sizable declines since the end of February, we have been looking closely there (and elsewhere) for what we think are attractively priced, fundamentally strong small-cap businesses. As always, volatility in the small-cap market is something that we seek to use to our advantage, even when it is in short supply.

Know This
We feel somewhat fortunate in that we do not need to choose a side in the “overvalued versus ongoing bull market” debate. Rather than trying to make a correct market call, our attention has been focused on those potential opportunities that can materialize even in a widespread bull market. Corrections can arrive at any time, of course, and it has been a while since we have seen one of any significance. The last downturn of more

benchmark index with respect to industry and sector weightings (commonly referred to as tracking error). In addition, active managers are not required to invest cash inflows at the time of receipt when market conditions or prices may not be conducive. They may screen for quality and use buy/sell triggers as a means of reducing risk. While a passive manager must own everything, an active manager has the freedom to look for attractive stocks across a targeted universe. All of this helps to explain why we remain so fond of small-caps and so confident in the effectiveness and value of active approaches in the asset class. Active small-cap managers can capture valuation opportunities beyond their respective indexes—an opportunity that would be lost if one were limited to owning only the constituents that make up an index. For example, the Russell 2000, while quite broad, only includes about 2,000 of the more than 4,100 companies¹ that make up the domestic small-cap universe (those with market caps up to $2.5 billion). While self-serving, we nevertheless think that the small-cap asset class is ideally suited for active management given its enormous size, lack of institutional focus, and limited research availability.	Letter to Our Stockholders than 10% for the Russell 2000 occurred in the fall of 2012. And share prices recovered so quickly from the 9.1% March-May decline this year that the down phase barely registered. This might lead one to argue that the market is being set up for at least a decent-sized pullback. Our sense, however, is that we are more likely to see smaller ones in the 5-10% range as part of the ongoing bull phase. Against the backdrop of an economy that looks poised for faster growth, a Fed tapering at a healthy clip, and an interest-rate environment in which a steady rate of increase is much more of a “when” than an “if,” less severe downturns look more likely. Small-cap valuations on the whole are above average, though not unreasonably so given near-zero interest rates and low inflation. A number of anomalies remain in the market, and in many cases we see a wide disparity between what look to us like expensive stocks and those that look inexpensive on an absolute basis. The market seems to be in the process of sorting that out—certainly those areas of the market that do not interest us, and that did well in 2012 and 2013, have been more volatile so far in 2014. In addition, we are still seeing companies that look attractively valued to us based on their fundamentals. All in all, it is looking more and more like a stock-picker’s market to us. We could see the second half of the year being pretty similar to the first in terms of the overall returns for stocks. More important, we think there are still enough opportunities out there to keep returns in positive territory through the end of 2014. This could make the market’s next act a very happy one for active small-cap managers. Sincerely,

Manager’s Discussion Royce Value Trust (RVT) put up a solid absolute and relative showing in the first half of 2014. The Fund gained 3.0% on an NAV (net asset value) basis and 3.9% on a market price basis for the year-to-date period ended June 30, 2014 versus the 3.2% gain for each of its unleveraged small-cap benchmarks, the Russell 2000 Index and the S&P SmallCap 600 Index, for the same period. While the bull market ran into 2014 after a magnificent run in 2013, the pace of returns was more subdued. This was also the case for RVT. Harsh winter weather, geopolitical concerns, and a new Federal Reserve chair all gave investors much to ponder. The Fund was up 0.5% on an NAV basis and 0.2% on a market price basis in the first quarter. Volatility returned to the market in March and April, with RVT outperforming the Russell 2000 in the down phase from the Russell 2000’s 2014 high on March 4 through May 15. Small-cap stocks then made a strong comeback through the end of June to finish the second quarter in the black. For the second quarter, RVT outperformed its benchmark on both an NAV and market price basis, advancing 2.5% and 3.7%, respectively, versus a gain of 2.0% for the Russell 2000 and 2.1% for the S&P SmallCap 600. We were reasonably pleased with the Fund’s relative performance during a period where the economy is beginning to slowly but surely normalize. On an NAV basis, RVT outperformed the Russell 2000 for the 15-, 20-, 25-year, and since inception (11/26/86) periods ended June 30, 2014 while the Fund outpaced the Russell 2000 on a market price basis for each of those periods and the five-year span. The Fund’s average annual NAV total return since inception was 11.0%. We take great pride in RVT’s long-term performance record. Nine of the Fund’s 11 equity sectors were positive contributors to first-half performance. Health Care made the largest positive impact, with Energy, Financials, and Materials also posting respectable net gains. Industrials was the RVT’s largest detractor at the sector level, followed by a modest net loss in the Consumer Discretionary sector. The portfolio’s largest contributor to performance at the industry level was biotechnology, largely as a result of net gains from two of the Fund’s top-five contributing stocks. Idenix Pharmaceuticals focuses on the development of drugs for the treatment of infections caused by HIV, hepatitis B, and hepatitis C. Its stock price was fairly volatile through much of the first half before more than tripling in early June after news that pharmaceutical giant Merck would be acquiring the company at a healthy premium. We began selling after the announcement and had sold our shares by mid-June. Myriad Genetics specializes in molecular diagnostics with a specialty in genetic testing for cancer. The company faced a lot of skepticism after the Supreme Court ruled in June 2013 that human genes could not be patented. We believed that neither the Court’s ruling nor

Performance and Portfolio Review

increased business competition would hurt the firm’s long-term health, and were pleased that Myriad has been able to continue executing successfully. We were also happy to see the company acquire Crescendo Bioscience in the first half, a strategic acquisition that adds to Myriad’s already promising pipeline.
Tulsa-based Helmerich & Payne is a contract driller with a specialty in high-tech drilling rigs. It’s a long-time Royce favorite that we have owned continuously in RVT’s portfolio since 1998. Accelerated growth in its order book for new rigs further confirmed that the company’s technologically superior rigs are driving market share gains as E&P (exploration & production) companies eager to reduce drilling costs upgrade to Helmerich & Payne’s more efficient rigs. We reduced our position as its stock price gushed. Headquartered in Denver, Cimarex Energy is a comparatively new addition whose shares we first purchased in 2002. An E&P business operating primarily in Texas, Oklahoma, and New Mexico, we have long liked its balance sheet and sizable margins. During the first half its shares seemed to benefit from ongoing production growth in a few different properties.
As for positions that detracted from performance, the largest was Advisory Board (The), a research and consulting firm that offers services to the healthcare industry. Organic and subscription revenue growth remains healthy. However, investors seemed to tire of its recently fast-paced M&A activity (five deals in the last 20 months, with more likely ahead), and the near-term negative impact these acquisitions have had on profit margins. Our take is that these acquisitions have generally been of smaller companies that provide footholds and capabilities in other fast-growing healthcare information areas, thus enhancing the firm’s long-term growth opportunities. We held our shares through the first half. We also opted to hold our position in Preformed Line Products, a company whose shares we have owned since 1986. The company makes products primarily to support, protect, connect, terminate, and secure cables and wires for the energy, communications, cable provider, and information industries. A weaker global market for infrastructure projects first led its shares to plummet in November 2013. The lack of any sustained earnings recovery continued to hurt its stock.

Manager’s Discussion Royce Micro-Cap Trust (RMT) gained 3.1% on an NAV (net asset value) basis and 3.9% on a market price basis for the year-to-date period ended June 30, 2014 compared to its unleveraged benchmarks, the Russell 2000 Index and Russell Microcap Index, which had respective gains of 3.2% and 1.6%, for the same period. We were pleased with the Fund’s results in the first half, which remained solid on both an absolute and relative basis after a particularly good year in 2013 for both the Fund and micro-cap stocks more generally. 2014 began with many share prices accelerating at a much slower pace than they did in the torrid second half of 2013. For the first quarter of 2014, RMT stayed in step on an NAV basis, though it fell out of step with the market as a whole—and micro-caps more specifically—during the more moderate market that ushered in the year. The Fund advanced 1.3% in the first quarter on an NAV basis while falling 1.2% based on market price compared to a gain of 3.0% for the Russell Microcap and 1.1% for the Russell 2000. The Fund’s results improved in the second quarter, which saw the year’s only small-cap correction so far. Investors seemed to be trying to determine the effects on the market of a new Fed chair, a miserable winter, and potentially dangerous international situations in Ukraine and Syria. The verdict was apparently that the first of these was a positive (or at least not a negative), the second temporary, and the third not worth selling stocks over. Small-caps rallied from mid-May through the end of June, which helped RMT to post positive results on both an NAV (+1.7%) and market price basis (+5.1%) for the second quarter. These results helped the Fund to post strong long-term results on both an absolute and relative basis. On an NAV basis the Fund bested the Russell 2000 for the one-, three-, five-, 10-, 15-, 20-year, and since inception (12/14/93) periods ended June 30, 2014. (RMT) beat the small-cap index on a market price basis for each of those aforementioned periods except the 10-year span. The Fund also outpaced the Russell Microcap on both an NAV and market price basis for the one-, three-, five-, and 10-year periods ended June 30, 2014. (Data for the Russell Microcap only goes back to June 2000.) RMT’s average annual NAV total return for the since inception period was 11.8%. We remain proud of the Fund’s 20-plus years of history. Seven of the Fund’s 10 equity sectors produced net gains in the first half. Health Care led by a wide margin, followed by Financials, Energy, and Materials. Net losses, which were mostly modest at the sector level, came from Industrials and Information

Performance and Portfolio Review

Technology. The same was true at the industry level, where the leading detractors were specialty retail, electrical equipment, road & rail, software, and consumer finance. The most significant net gainers at the industry level were biotechnology, which was out in front by a considerable margin, machinery, media, and the electronic equipment, instruments & components group.
Four of the Fund’s five largest contributors came from the Health Care sector and two of those were slotted in the biotechnology group, including RMT’s top performer in the first half, Idenix Pharmaceuticals. The company develops drugs that treat infections caused by HIV, hepatitis B, and hepatitis C. Its stock price was somewhat volatile through much of the first half before more than tripling in early June on the news that pharmaceutical giant Merck would be acquiring the company at a healthy premium. We began selling after the announcement and had sold our shares by mid-June. We also sold our shares of Medical Action Industries, which makes custom procedure trays and minor procedure kits, shortly after the news came out that Owens & Minor would be acquiring the company at a whopping 95% premium. Another example of the “urge to merge” came with Furiex Pharmaceuticals, which first saw strong results in phase III clinical trials for an IBS treatment before being acquired at a healthy premium. The announcement in April led us to sell our shares. Just the possibility of being acquired, along with restarted trials of a hepatitis C product, were the primary drivers of the rapidly rising share price of Achillion Pharmaceuticals. These developments prompted us to greatly reduce our position in June.
As for those positions that detracted, Regional Management extends fixed-rate loans primarily to people with limited access to bank credit, credit cards, and other traditional lenders. Its shares plunged on news of an investigation into possible breaches of its fiduciary duty. We held a small position at the end of June. We also held a small position in PMFG, which provides custom-engineered systems and products primarily for the oil and natural gas industries. Falling revenues and earnings kept investors selling.

Manager’s Discussion We were very pleased with the strong first half enjoyed by Royce Focus Trust (FUND) on both an absolute and relative basis. The Fund gained an impressive 12.7% on an NAV (net asset value) basis and 15.0% based on market price for the year-to-date period ended June 30, 2014, in both cases more than doubling the 5.9% advance for its benchmark, the Russell 2500 Index, for the same period. The Fund got off to a strong start that slackened only briefly when stocks were enduring their only bout with volatility thus far during parts of March, April, and May. Otherwise, the waters were mostly calm. After a magnificently bullish 2013, the pace of equity returns slowed as 2014 got under way. In the first quarter FUND was up 5.2% on an NAV basis and 5.8% on a market price basis. Many investors paused prior to the end of the first quarter, perhaps wondering what the effects might be of a bitter winter, a new Federal Reserve chair, and worrisome geopolitical happenings. For the most part, stocks rallied, with results largely positive from mid-May through the end of June. For the second quarter, which included the bulk of the brief corrective phase, FUND advanced 7.1% based on its NAV and 8.7% based on its market price while the Russell 2500 rose 3.6%. We were happy to see the Fund rebound at a time when the economy is both growing and returning to something like the Old Normal with the role of the Fed gradually diminishing. Such an environment looks promising in our view for active and disciplined managers who emphasize long-term time horizons and absolute returns. FUND outpaced the Russell 2500 for the one-, 15-year, and since inception of our management (11/1/96) periods ended June 30, 2014. The Fund’s average annual NAV total return since inception was 11.0%. We remain proud of FUND’s long-term performance record. Over the last five years, we have been building positions in several economically sensitive, cyclical sectors, including Energy, Industrials, Materials, and Information Technology. Going back as far as 2009 in some instances, many stocks in these areas looked strong to us on both an absolute and relative basis, in particular on the level of balance sheet strength, returns on invested capital, and P/E ratios. Through the first half of 2013, many of the companies that we liked in these sectors, such as Canadian energy services businesses, had not yet seen much, if any, share price recovery. This began to turn around in the second half of last year. Coupled with declining correlation levels across all equity asset classes, these developments left us feeling very confident in the ongoing prospects for many of our holdings in cyclical sectors. Three of the four sectors mentioned above—Energy, Information Technology, and Materials—made the greatest net contributions to results for the year-to-date period. Energy led by a good-sized margin, driven by robust results for several long-term holdings in the

Performance and Portfolio Review

energy equipment & services industry, where the bulk of the portfolio’s positions in that sector are slotted. Renewed demand helped Helmerich & Payne, a company we have long admired for its status as a leader in manufacturing technologically superior rigs and related equipment. Other energy businesses are seeing the benefit in using Helmerich’s wares, as upgrading to its more efficient rigs helps to drive down drilling costs. Trican Well Service is the largest pressure pumping service provider in Canada and a leading fracturing company in Russia. FUND’s twelfth largest holding at the end of June, the company benefited from a recovery in the demand for its services in Canada and the U.S. for fracking and other well-related services.
Outside of the Energy sector, we were very pleased with the comeback of Myriad Genetics. A molecular diagnostic company that specializes in genetic testing for cancer, its share price fell rapidly in the wake of a mixed ruling from the Supreme Court in June 2013, which held that human genes cannot be patented. Many investors were concerned that the company would struggle to compete or be profitable in the light of this decision. The stock began to recover in the first quarter of 2014. Though its price was a bit volatile during the second quarter, we remain confident. It remains a leader in genetic testing with a variety of industry-standard tools for detecting hereditary cancer risk. Fiscal third-quarter revenues, announced in May, were up, helping to make fiscal 2014 nicely profitable. Top-six position SanDisk Corporation provides data storage products and solutions, including flash memory, proprietary controller and firmware technologies, as well as USB drives, digital media players, and other components. Capacity concerns have abated and global demand has been growing, both of which helped its shares to rise in the first half. As for those holdings that struggled, we also remain confident in the long-term prospects for personal skin care product maker and distributor Nu Skin Enterprises. The company resolved some distribution issues in China, which accounts for about a third of its growing global business, by paying a small fine.

Manager’s Discussion For the year-to-date period ended June 30, 2014 Royce Global Value Trust Fund (RGT) climbed 5.6% on an NAV (net asset value basis) and 5.9% on a market price basis, essentially sandwiching its benchmark, the Russell Global Small Cap Index, which was up 5.7% for the same period. We were pleased with the Fund’s performance. While slightly shy of its benchmark on an NAV basis, first-half results nonetheless bolstered our confidence in RGT’s prospects for strong absolute results going forward. The Fund came into existence as a spin-off from Royce Value Trust (RVT) at the rate of one share of Global Trust common stock for every seven shares of RVT common stock owned. RGT’s investment goal is long-term growth of capital. The Fund invests in a broadly diversified portfolio of both U.S. and non-U.S. small-cap stocks. Chuck Royce manages the Fund while Royce veterans Chris Flynn and David Nadel serve as assistant portfolio managers. Although most non-U.S. markets did not match the feverish pace of their small-cap stateside cousins in 2013, they did fine on an NAV basis before going on to enjoy a stronger first half of 2014. For the first quarter, the Fund rose 1.4% on an absolute basis and 1.0% on market price basis. A strengthening Europe helped to compensate for a generally less robust Asia during the first few months of 2014. There were notable contributions from portfolio holdings in Canada, France, and Italy in the first quarter as well as trouble spots for positions headquartered in Hong Kong and the U.S. For the second quarter, returns were stronger both here in the U.S. and abroad, the latter helped by a recovery for many Asian companies. This was most noticeable for positions headquartered in Japan, which overcame first-quarter net losses to post a significant contribution for both the second quarter and semiannual period. Portfolio holdings in Canada also enjoyed a strong second quarter, helped by net gains in a number of industries. RGT was thus able to take advantage of the market’s growing strength, increasing 4.1% for the second quarter on an NAV basis and 4.8% on a market price basis. (The Russell Global Small Cap Index grew 3.3% for the same period.) The Fund’s cumulative NAV return from inception (10/17/13) through June 30, 2014 was 8.5%. All of the Fund’s nine equity sectors finished the first half in positive territory, with Financials, Information Technology, and Materials making the largest positive contributions. At the industry level, second-quarter strength was apparent, with the capital markets, auto

Important Performance and Risk Information All performance information reflects past performance, is presented on a total return basis, and reflects the reinvestment of distributions. Past performance is no guarantee of future results. Current performance may be higher or lower than performance quoted. Returns as of the most recent month-end may be obtained at www.roycefunds.com. Certain immaterial adjustments were made to the net assets of Royce Global Value Trust at 6/30/14 for financial reporting purposes, and as a result the net asset value originally calculated on that date and the total return based on that net asset value differs from the adjusted net asset value and total return reported in the Financial Highlights. The market price of the Fund’s shares will fluctuate, so that shares may be worth more or less than their original cost when sold. The Fund invests primarily in securities of small- and micro-cap companies, which may involve considerably more risk than investments in securities of larger-cap companies. The Fund’s broadly diversified portfolio does not ensure a profit or guarantee against loss. From time to time, the Fund may invest a significant portion of its net assets in foreign securities, which may involve political, economic, currency and other risks not encountered in U.S. investments. The market price of the Fund’s shares will fluctuate, so that shares may be worth more or less than their original cost when sold. Regarding the two “Good Ideas” tables shown above, the sum of all contributors to, and all detractors from, performance for all securities in the portfolio would approximate the Fund’s year-to-date performance for 2014.

components, household durables, and semiconductors & semiconductor equipment groups leading in the first half. Detracting most from first-half results at the industry level were air freight & logistics companies, media stocks, and multiline retailers. Coming from the first of these three groups, New Jersey-based UTi Worldwide is a global supply chain logistics services and solutions company that operates on multiple platforms helping a variety of industries. Its business was hurt by lower freight-forwarding volumes and pricing as well as by delays in collecting receivables. All of this caused the company to violate its debt covenants, resulting in an expensive and dilutive recapitalization. We chose to hold shares in the hope of a turnaround. We built our position in Pico Far East Holdings, a Hong Kong-based business that makes displays for companies presenting at conventions. We like that major global brands such as Mercedes Benz, Lexus, and Citibank trust the company to accurately portray their brand images. The slowdown in China’s economy hurt Pico Far East Holdings business, but management keeps a close eye on costs and focuses on the long term, traits that inspire our confidence.
The Fund’s top contributing stock was top-five position CETIP-Mercados Organizados, which organizes the over-the-counter (OTC) markets in Brazil. The company offers an electronic platform for conducting online transactions, such as auctions and government bond trading, corporate bonds, and fixed income securities. CETIP also provides central securities depository, outsourcing, market data, and risk management services. Its shares rose on what we suspect was a flight to company quality in Brazil’s first-half bear market. De’Longhi is an Italian company which owns a collection of consumer brands in the domestic appliance market, such as coffee makers, food processors, electric ovens, kettles, toasters, and more. Its stock performance in the first half of 2014 was largely generated in the first quarter after reporting solid earnings for 2013. It also benefited from investors’ generally increased risk appetite for Italian stocks. We trimmed our stake throughout the first half. The oldest private bank in Argentina and the nation’s third largest, BBVA Banco Frances ADR has posted both strong earnings and given an improved outlook so far in 2014, both of which seemed to attract more investors to its shares. We began to sell our shares of specialty chemical company China XD Plastics in May when improved revenues and earnings led to a spike in its stock, which then corrected amid questions about the veracity of its reported results.

Distribution Reinvestment and Cash Purchase Options

Why should I reinvest my distributions?
By reinvesting distributions, a stockholder can maintain an undiluted investment in the Fund. The regular reinvestment of distributions has a significant impact on stockholder returns. In contrast, the stockholder who takes distributions in cash is penalized when shares are issued below net asset value to other stockholders.

How does the reinvestment of distributions from the Royce closed-end funds work?
The Funds automatically issue shares in payment of distributions unless you indicate otherwise. The shares are generally issued at the lower of the market price or net asset value on the valuation date.

How does this apply to registered stockholders?
If your shares are registered directly with a Fund, your distributions are automatically reinvested unless you have otherwise instructed the Funds’ transfer agent, Computershare, in writing, in which case you will receive your distribution in cash. A registered stockholder also may have the option to receive the distribution in the form of a stock certificate.

What if my shares are held by a brokerage firm or a bank?
If your shares are held by a brokerage firm, bank, or other intermediary as the stockholder of record, you should contact your brokerage firm or bank to be certain that it is automatically reinvesting distributions on your behalf. If they are unable to reinvest distributions on behalf, you should have your shares registered in your name in order to participate.

What other features are available for registered stockholders?
The Distribution Reinvestment and Cash Purchase Plans also allow registered stockholders to make optional cash purchases of shares of a Fund’s common stock directly through Computershare on a monthly basis, and to deposit certificates representing your RVT, RMT and FUND shares with Computershare for safekeeping. (RGT does not issue shares in certificated form). Plan participants are subject to a $0.75 service fee for each voluntary cash purchase under the Plans. The Funds’ investment adviser is absorbing all commissions on optional cash purchases under the Plans through June 30, 2014.

How do the Plans work for registered stockholders?
Computershare maintains the accounts for registered stockholders in the Plans and sends written confirmation of all transactions in the account. Shares in the account of each participant will be held by Computershare in non-certificated form in the name of the participant, and each participant will be able to vote those shares at a stockholder meeting or by proxy. A participant may also send stock certificates for RVT, RMT and FUND held by them to Computershare to be held in non-certificated form. RGT does not issue shares in certificated form. There is no service fee charged to participants for reinvesting distributions. If a participant elects to sell shares from a Plan account, Computershare will deduct a $2.50 service fee from the sale transaction. The Funds’ investment adviser is absorbing all commissions on optional sales under the Plans through June 30, 2014. If a nominee is the registered owner of your shares, the nominee will maintain the accounts on your behalf.

How can I get more information on the Plans?
You can call an Investor Services Representative at (800) 221-4268 or you can request a copy of the Plan for your Fund from Computershare. All correspondence (including notifications) should be directed to: [Name of Fund] Distribution Reinvestment and Cash Purchase Plan, c/o Computershare, PO Box 43078, Providence, RI 02940-3078, telephone (800) 426-5523 (from 9:00 A.M. to 5:00 P.M.).

Royce Value Trust

Notes to Financial Statements (unaudited)

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies:
Royce Value Trust, Inc. (the “Fund”), is a diversified closed-end investment company that was incorporated under the laws of the State of Maryland on July 1, 1986. The Fund commenced operations on November 26, 1986.

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of income and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Valuation of Investments:
Securities are valued as of the close of trading on the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) (generally 4:00 p.m. Eastern time) on the valuation date. Securities that trade on an exchange, and securities traded on Nasdaq’s Electronic Bulletin Board, are valued at their last reported sales price or Nasdaq official closing price taken from the primary market in which each security trades or, if no sale is reported for such day, at their highest bid price. Other over-the-counter securities for which market quotations are readily available are valued at their highest bid price, except in the case of some bonds and other fixed income securities which may be valued by reference to other securities with comparable ratings, interest rates and maturities, using established independent pricing services. The Fund values its non-U.S. dollar denominated securities in U.S. dollars daily at the prevailing foreign currency exchange rates as quoted by a major bank. Securities for which market quotations are not readily available are valued at their fair value in accordance with the provisions of the 1940 Act, under procedures approved by the Fund’s Board of Directors, and are reported as Level 3 securities. As a general principle, the fair value of a security is the amount which the Fund might reasonably expect to receive for the security upon its current sale. However, in light of the judgment involved in fair valuations, there can be no assurance that a fair value assigned to a particular security will be the amount which the Fund might be able to receive upon its current sale. In addition, if, between the time trading ends on a particular security and the close of the customary trading session on the NYSE, events occur that are significant and may make the closing price unreliable, the Fund may fair value the security. The Fund uses an independent pricing service to provide fair value estimates for relevant non-U.S. equity securities on days when the U.S. market volatility exceeds a certain threshold. This pricing service uses proprietary correlations it has developed between the movement of prices of non-U.S. equity securities and indices of U.S.-traded securities, futures contracts and other indications to estimate the fair value of relevant non-U.S. securities. When fair value pricing is employed, the prices of securities used by the Fund may differ from quoted or published prices for the same security. Investments in money market funds are valued at net asset value per share.

	Various inputs are used in determining the value of the Fund’s investments, as noted above. These inputs are summarized in the three broad levels below:
		Level 1 – quoted prices in active markets for identical securities.
		Level 2 – other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar securities, foreign securities that may be fair valued and repurchase agreements). The table below includes all Level 2 securities. Level 2 securities with values based on quoted prices for similar securities are noted in the Schedule of Investments.
		Level 3 – significant unobservable inputs (including last trade price before trading was suspended, or at a discount thereto for lack of marketability or otherwise, market price information regarding other securities, information received from the company and/or published documents, including SEC filings and financial statements, or other publicly available information).
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 to value the Fund’s investments as of June 30, 2014. For a detailed breakout of common stocks by sector classification, please refer to the Schedule of Investments.

	Level 1		Level 2		Level 3		Total

The net change in unrealized appreciation (depreciation) is included in the accompanying Statement of Operations. Change in unrealized appreciation (depreciation) includes net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) resulting from changes in investment values during the reporting period and the reversal of previously recorded unrealized appreciation (depreciation) when gains or losses are realized. Net realized gain (loss) from investments and foreign currency transactions is included in the accompanying Statement of Operations.

Royce Value Trust

Notes to Financial Statements (unaudited) (continued)

Repurchase Agreements:
The Fund may enter into repurchase agreements with institutions that the Fund’s investment adviser has determined are creditworthy. The Fund restricts repurchase agreements to maturities of no more than seven days. Securities pledged as collateral for repurchase agreements, which are held until maturity of the repurchase agreements, are marked-to-market daily and maintained at a value at least equal to the principal amount of the repurchase agreement (including accrued interest). Repurchase agreements could involve certain risks in the event of default or insolvency of the counter-party, including possible delays or restrictions upon the ability of the Fund to dispose of its underlying securities.

Foreign Currency:
Net realized foreign exchange gains or losses arise from sales and maturities of short-term securities, sales of foreign currencies, expiration of currency forward contracts, currency gains or losses realized between the trade and settlement dates on securities transactions, and the difference between the amounts of dividends, interest, and foreign withholding taxes recorded on the Fund’s books and the U.S. dollar equivalent of the amounts actually received or paid. Net unrealized foreign exchange gains and losses arise from changes in the value of assets and liabilities, including investments in securities at the end of the reporting period, as a result of changes in foreign currency exchange rates.

Taxes:
As a qualified regulated investment company under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code, the Fund is not subject to income taxes to the extent that it distributes substantially all of its taxable income for its fiscal year. The Schedule of Investments includes information regarding income taxes under the caption “Tax Information”.

Capital Gains Taxes:
The Fund is subject to a tax imposed on short-term capital gains on securities of issuers domiciled in certain countries. The Fund records an estimated deferred tax liability for these securities that have been held for less than one year. This amount, if any, is reported as deferred capital gains tax in the accompanying Statement of Assets and Liabilities, assuming those positions were disposed of at the end of the period, and accounted for as a reduction in the market value of the security.

Distributions:
The Fund pays quarterly distributions on the Fund’s Common Stock at the annual rate of 7% of the rolling average of the prior four calendar quarter-end NAVs of the Fund’s Common Stock, with the fourth quarter distribution being the greater of 1.75% of the rolling average or the distribution required by IRS regulations. The Board of Directors approved an increase in the annual rate of distributions under its managed distribution policy for Common Stockholders from 5% to 7%, effective for 2014. Prior to November 15, 2012, distributions to Preferred Stockholders were accrued daily and paid quarterly. Distributions to Common Stockholders are recorded on ex-dividend date. Distributable capital gains and/or net investment income were first allocated to Preferred Stockholder distributions, with any excess allocable to Common Stockholders. If capital gains and/or net investment income were allocated to both Preferred and Common Stockholders, the tax character of such allocations was proportional. To the extent that distributions are not paid from long-term capital gains, net investment income or net short-term capital gains, they will represent a return of capital. Distributions are determined in accordance with income tax regulations that may differ from accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Permanent book and tax differences relating to stockholder distributions will result in reclassifications within the capital accounts. Undistributed net investment income may include temporary book and tax basis differences, which will reverse in a subsequent period. Any taxable income or gain remaining undistributed at fiscal year end is distributed in the following year.
On June 19, 2013, the Fund purchased 10,160 common shares of Royce Global Value Trust, Inc. (“RGT”) for $100,076. On October 18, 2013, the Fund contributed $99,899,924 in cash and securities in exchange for shares of RGT, and on the same date distributed all shares of RGT valued at $100,000,000 to Fund stockholders of record as of October 10, 2013, at the rate of one share of RGT for every seven shares of the Fund’s Common Stock outstanding. In connection with the spinoff of RGT, the securities contributed included $15,972,444 in unrealized depreciation.

Investment Transactions and Related Investment Income:
Investment transactions are accounted for on the trade date. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date. Non-cash dividend income is recorded at the fair market value of the securities received. Interest income is recorded on an accrual basis. Premium and discounts on debt securities are amortized using the effective yield-to-maturity method. Realized gains and losses from investment transactions are determined on the basis of identified cost for book and tax purposes.

Expenses:
The Fund incurs direct and indirect expenses. Expenses directly attributable to the Fund are charged to the Fund’s operations, while expenses applicable to more than one of the Royce Funds are allocated equitably. Certain personnel, occupancy costs and other administrative expenses related to the Royce Funds are allocated by Royce & Associates, LLC (“Royce”) under an administration agreement and are included in administrative and office facilities and professional fees. The Fund has adopted a deferred fee agreement that allows the Directors to defer the receipt of all or a portion of directors’ fees otherwise payable. The deferred fees are invested in certain Royce Funds until distributed in accordance with the agreement.

Compensating Balance Credits:
The Fund has an arrangement with its custodian bank, whereby a portion of the custodian’s fee is paid indirectly by credits earned on the Fund’s cash on deposit with the bank. This deposit arrangement is an alternative to purchasing overnight investments. Conversely, the Fund pays interest to the custodian on any cash overdrafts, to the extent they are not offset by credits earned on positive cash balances.

Capital Stock:
The Fund issued 1,235,634 and 1,699,025 shares of Common Stock as reinvestment of distributions for the six months ended June 30, 2014 and the year ended December 31, 2013, respectively.

Borrowings:
The Fund had entered into a $150,000,000 revolving credit agreement (the credit agreement) with BNP Paribas Prime Brokerage Inc. (BNPP) on November 14, 2012 and reduced this line to $45,000,000 on June 26, 2014. The Fund pays a commitment fee of 0.50% per annum on the unused portion of the credit agreement. The credit agreement has a 360-day rolling term that resets daily; however, if the Fund exceeds certain net asset value triggers, the credit agreement may convert to a 60-day rolling term that resets daily. The Fund is required to pledge portfolio securities as collateral in an amount up to two times the loan balance outstanding and has granted a security interest in the securities pledged to, and in favor of, BNPP as security for the loan balance outstanding. If the Fund fails to meet certain requirements, or maintain other financial covenants required under the credit agreement, the Fund may be required to repay immediately, in part or in full, the loan balance outstanding under the credit agreement necessitating the sale of portfolio securities at potentially inopportune times. The credit agreement also permits, subject to certain conditions, BNPP to rehypothecate portfolio securities pledged by the Fund up to the amount of the loan balance outstanding. The Fund continues to receive payments in lieu of dividends and interest on rehypothecated securities. The Fund also has the right under the credit agreement to recall the rehypothecated securities from BNPP on demand. If BNPP fails to deliver the recalled security in a timely manner, the Fund will be compensated by BNPP for any fees or losses related to the failed delivery or, in the event a recalled security will not be returned by BNPP, the Fund, upon notice to BNPP, may reduce the loan balance outstanding by the amount of the recalled security failed to be returned. The Fund will receive a portion of the fees earned by BNPP in connection with the rehypothecation of portfolio securities.
As of June 30, 2014, the Fund has outstanding borrowings of $45,000,000. During the six months ended June 30, 2014, the Fund borrowed an average daily balance of $72,403,315 at a weighted average borrowing cost of 1.18%. As of June 30, 2014, the aggregate value of rehypothecated securities was $42,949,178. During the six months ended June 30, 2014, the Fund earned $159,190 in fees from rehypothecated securities.

Investment Advisory Agreement:
     As compensation for its services under the Investment Advisory Agreement, Royce receives a fee comprised of a Basic Fee (“Basic Fee”) and an adjustment to the Basic Fee based on the investment performance of the Fund in relation to the investment record of the S&P SmallCap 600 Index (“S&P 600”).
     The Basic Fee is a monthly fee equal to 1/12 of 1% (1% on an annualized basis) of the average of the Fund’s month-end net assets applicable to Common Stockholders, plus the liquidation value of outstanding Preferred Stock, for the rolling 60-month period ending with such month (the “performance period”). The Basic Fee for each month is increased or decreased at the rate of 1/12 of .05% for each percentage point that the investment performance of the Fund exceeds, or is exceeded by, the percentage change in the investment record of the S&P 600 for the performance period by more than two percentage points. The performance period for each such month is a rolling 60-month period ending with such month. The maximum increase or decrease in the Basic Fee for any month may not exceed 1/12 of .5%. Accordingly, for each month, the maximum monthly fee rate as adjusted for performance is 1/12 of 1.5% and is payable if the investment performance of the Fund exceeds the percentage change in the investment record of the S&P 600 by 12 or more percentage points for the performance period, and the minimum monthly fee rate as adjusted for performance is 1/12 of .5% and is payable if the percentage change in the investment record of the S&P 600 exceeds the investment performance of the Fund by 12 or more percentage points for the performance period.
     Notwithstanding the foregoing, Royce is not entitled to receive any fee for any month when the investment performance of the Fund for the rolling 36-month period ending with such month is negative. In the event that the Fund’s investment performance for such a performance period is less than zero, Royce will not be required to refund to the Fund any fee earned in respect of any prior performance period.
     For the six rolling 60-month periods ended June 2014, the Fund’s investment performance ranged from 8% to 32% below the investment performance of the S&P 600. Accordingly, the net investment advisory fee consisted of a Basic Fee of $5,500,946 and a net downward adjustment of $2,571,484 for the performance of the Fund relative to that of the S&P 600. For the six months ended June 30, 2014, the Fund accrued and paid Royce investment advisory fees totaling $2,929,462.

Purchases and Sales of Investment Securities:
For the six months ended June 30, 2014, the costs of purchases and proceeds from sales of investment securities, other than short-term securities, amounted to $286,608,878 and $248,950,479, respectively.

Royce Micro-Cap Trust

Notes to Financial Statements (unaudited)

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies:

Royce Micro-Cap Trust, Inc. (the “Fund”), is a diversified closed-end investment company that was incorporated under the laws of the State of Maryland on September 9, 1993. The Fund commenced operations on December 14, 1993.

Valuation of Investments:

Securities are valued as of the close of trading on the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) (generally 4:00 p.m. Eastern time) on the valuation date. Securities that trade on an exchange, and securities traded on Nasdaq’s Electronic Bulletin Board, are valued at their last reported sales price or Nasdaq official closing price taken from the primary market in which each security trades or, if no sale is reported for such day, at their highest bid price. Other over-the-counter securities for which market quotations are readily available are valued at their highest bid price, except in the case of some bonds and other fixed income securities which may be valued by reference to other securities with comparable ratings, interest rates and maturities, using established independent pricing services. The Fund values its non-U.S. dollar denominated securities in U.S. dollars daily at the prevailing foreign currency exchange rates as quoted by a major bank. Securities for which market quotations are not readily available are valued at their fair value in accordance with the provisions of the 1940 Act, under procedures approved by the Fund’s Board of Directors, and are reported as Level 3 securities. As a general principle, the fair value of a security is the amount which the Fund might reasonably expect to receive for the security upon its current sale. However, in light of the judgment involved in fair valuations, there can be no assurance that a fair value assigned to a particular security will be the amount which the Fund might be able to receive upon its current sale. In addition, if, between the time trading ends on a particular security and the close of the customary trading session on the NYSE, events occur that are significant and may make the closing price unreliable, the Fund may fair value the security. The Fund uses an independent pricing service to provide fair value estimates for relevant non-U.S. equity securities on days when the U.S. market volatility exceeds a certain threshold. This pricing service uses proprietary correlations it has developed between the movement of prices of non-U.S. equity securities and indices of U.S.-traded securities, futures contracts and other indications to estimate the fair value of relevant non-U.S. securities. When fair value pricing is employed, the prices of securities used by the Fund may differ from quoted or published prices for the same security. Investments in money market funds are valued at net asset value per share.

	Various inputs are used in determining the value of the Fund’s investments, as noted above. These inputs are summarized in the three broad levels below:
		Level 1 – quoted prices in active markets for identical securities.
		Level 2 – other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar securities, foreign securities that may be fair valued and repurchase agreements). The table below includes all Level 2 securities. Level 2 securities with values based on quoted prices for similar securities are noted in the Schedule of Investments.
		Level 3 – significant unobservable inputs (including last trade price before trading was suspended, or at a discount thereto for lack of marketability or otherwise, market price information regarding other securities, information received from the company and/or published documents, including SEC filings and financial statements, or other publicly available information).
	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 to value the Fund’s investments as of June 30, 2014. For a detailed breakout of common stocks by sector classification, please refer to the Schedule of Investments.

	Level 1		Level 2		Level 3		Total
Common Stocks	$	427,561,041	$	8,748,683	$	325,713	$	436,635,437
Preferred Stocks		–		1,441,736		–		1,441,736
Cash Equivalents		–		32,127,000		–		32,127,000

For the six months ended June 30, 2014, certain securities have transferred in and out of Level 1 and Level 2 measurements as a result of the fair value pricing procedures for international equities. The Fund recognizes transfers between levels as of the end of the reporting period. At June 30, 2014, securities valued at $50,150 were transferred from Level 1 to Level 2 within the fair value hierarchy.

Level 3 Reconciliation:

		Balance as of 12/31/13		Unrealized Gain (Loss)¹		Balance as of 6/30/14
Common Stocks		$139,469		$186,244		$325,713

Notes to Financial Statements (unaudited) (continued)

Repurchase Agreements:

The Fund may enter into repurchase agreements with institutions that the Fund’s investment adviser has determined are creditworthy. The Fund restricts repurchase agreements to maturities of no more than seven days. Securities pledged as collateral for repurchase agreements, which are held until maturity of the repurchase agreements, are marked-to-market daily and maintained at a value at least equal to the principal amount of the repurchase agreement (including accrued interest). Repurchase agreements could involve certain risks in the event of default or insolvency of the counter-party, including possible delays or restrictions upon the ability of the Fund to dispose of its underlying securities.

Foreign Currency:

Net realized foreign exchange gains or losses arise from sales and maturities of short-term securities, sales of foreign currencies, expiration of currency forward contracts, currency gains or losses realized between the trade and settlement dates on securities transactions, and the difference between the amounts of dividends, interest, and foreign withholding taxes recorded on the Fund’s books and the U.S. dollar equivalent of the amounts actually received or paid. Net unrealized foreign exchange gains and losses arise from changes in the value of assets and liabilities, including investments in securities at the end of the reporting period, as a result of changes in foreign currency exchange rates.

Taxes:

As a qualified regulated investment company under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code, the Fund is not subject to income taxes to the extent that it distributes substantially all of its taxable income for its fiscal year. The Schedule of Investments includes information regarding income taxes under the caption “Tax Information”.

Distributions:

The Fund pays quarterly distributions on the Fund’s Common Stock at the annual rate of 7% of the rolling average of the prior four calendar quarter-end NAVs of the Fund’s Common Stock, with the fourth quarter distribution being the greater of 1.75% of the rolling average or the distribution required by IRS regulations. The Board of Directors approved an increase in the annual rate of distributions under its managed distribution policy for Common Stockholders from 5% to 7%, effective for 2014. Prior to November 15, 2012, distributions to Preferred Stockholders were accrued daily and paid quarterly. Distributions to Common Stockholders are recorded on ex-dividend date. Distributable capital gains and/or net investment income were first allocated to Preferred Stockholder distributions, with any excess allocable to Common Stockholders. If capital gains and/or net investment income were allocated to both Preferred and Common Stockholders, the tax character of such allocations was proportional. To the extent that distributions are not paid from long-term capital gains, net investment income or net short-term capital gains, they will represent a return of capital. Distributions are determined in accordance with income tax regulations that may differ from accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Permanent book and tax differences relating to stockholder distributions will result in reclassifications within the capital accounts. Undistributed net investment income may include temporary book and tax basis differences, which will reverse in a subsequent period. Any taxable income or gain remaining undistributed at fiscal year end is distributed in the following year.

Investment Transactions and Related Investment Income:

Investment transactions are accounted for on the trade date. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date. Non-cash dividend income is recorded at the fair market value of the securities received. Interest income is recorded on an accrual basis. Premium and discounts on debt securities are amortized using the effective yield-to-maturity method. Realized gains and losses from investment transactions are determined on the basis of identified cost for book and tax purposes.

Expenses:

The Fund incurs direct and indirect expenses. Expenses directly attributable to the Fund are charged to the Fund’s operations, while expenses applicable to more than one of the Royce Funds are allocated equitably. Certain personnel, occupancy costs and other administrative expenses related to the Royce Funds are allocated by Royce & Associates, LLC (“Royce”) under an administration agreement and are included in administrative and office facilities and professional fees. The Fund has adopted a deferred fee agreement that allows the Directors to defer the receipt of all or a portion of directors’ fees otherwise payable. The deferred fees are invested in certain Royce Funds until distributed in accordance with the agreement.

Compensating Balance Credits:

The Fund has an arrangement with its custodian bank, whereby a portion of the custodian’s fee is paid indirectly by credits earned on the Fund’s cash on deposit with the bank. This deposit arrangement is an alternative to purchasing overnight investments. Conversely, the Fund pays interest to the custodian on any cash overdrafts, to the extent they are not offset by credits earned on positive cash balances.

Capital Stock:

The Fund issued 507,523 and 1,542,544 shares of Common Stock as reinvestment of distributions for the six months ended June 30, 2014 and the year ended December 31, 2013, respectively.

Borrowings:

The Fund has entered into a $45,000,000 revolving credit agreement (the credit agreement) with BNP Paribas Prime Brokerage Inc. (BNPP). The Fund pays a commitment fee of 0.50% per annum on the unused portion of the credit agreement. The credit agreement has a 360-day rolling term that resets daily; however, if the Fund exceeds certain net asset value triggers, the credit agreement may convert to a 60-day rolling term that resets daily. The Fund is required to pledge portfolio securities as collateral in an amount up to two times the loan balance outstanding and has granted a security interest in the securities pledged to, and in favor of, BNPP as security for the loan balance outstanding. If the Fund fails to meet certain requirements, or maintain other financial covenants required under the credit agreement, the Fund may be required to repay immediately, in part or in full, the loan balance outstanding under the credit agreement necessitating the sale of portfolio securities at potentially inopportune times. The credit agreement also permits, subject to certain conditions, BNPP to rehypothecate portfolio securities pledged by the Fund up to the amount of the loan balance outstanding. The Fund continues to receive payments in lieu of dividends and interest on rehypothecated securities. The Fund also has the right under the credit agreement to recall the rehypothecated securities from BNPP on demand. If BNPP fails to deliver the recalled security in a timely manner, the Fund will be compensated by BNPP for any fees or losses related to the failed delivery or, in the event a recalled security will not be returned by BNPP, the Fund, upon notice to BNPP, may reduce the loan balance outstanding by the amount of the recalled security failed to be returned. The Fund will receive a portion of the fees earned by BNPP in connection with the rehypothecation of portfolio securities.

As of June 30, 2014, the Fund has outstanding borrowings of $45,000,000. During the six months ended June 30, 2014, the Fund borrowed an average daily balance of $45,000,000 at a weighted average borrowing cost of 1.18%. As of June 30, 2014, the aggregate value of rehypothecated securities was $42,934,332. During the six months ended June 30, 2014, the Fund earned $71,576 in fees from rehypothecated securities.

Investment Advisory Agreement:

As compensation for its services under the Investment Advisory Agreement, Royce receives a fee comprised of a Basic Fee (“Basic Fee”) and an adjustment to the Basic Fee based on the investment performance of the Fund in relation to the investment record of the Russell 2000.

The Basic Fee is a monthly fee equal to 1/12 of 1% (1% on an annualized basis) of the average of the Fund’s month-end net assets applicable to Common Stockholders, plus the liquidation value of outstanding Preferred Stock, for the rolling 36-month period ending with such month (the “performance period”). The Basic Fee for each month is increased or decreased at the rate of 1/12 of .05% for each percentage point that the investment performance of the Fund exceeds, or is exceeded by, the percentage change in the investment record of the Russell 2000 for the performance period by more than two percentage points. The performance period for each such month is a rolling 36-month period ending with such month. The maximum increase or decrease in the Basic Fee for any month may not exceed 1/12 of .5%. Accordingly, for each month, the maximum monthly fee rate as adjusted for performance is 1/12 of 1.5% and is payable if the investment performance of the Fund exceeds the percentage change in the investment record of the Russell 2000 by 12 or more percentage points for the performance period, and the minimum monthly fee rate as adjusted for performance is 1/12 of .5% and is payable if the percentage change in the investment record of the Russell 2000 exceeds the investment performance of the Fund by 12 or more percentage points for the performance period.
For the six rolling 36-month periods ended June 2014, the Fund’s investment performance ranged from 1% to 5% above the investment performance of the Russell 2000. Accordingly, the net investment advisory fee consisted of a Basic Fee of $1,842,731 and a net upward adjustment of $123,333 for the performance of the Fund relative to that of the Russell 2000. For the six months ended June 30, 2014, the Fund accrued and paid Royce investment advisory fees totaling $1,966,064.

Purchases and Sales of Investment Securities:

Royce Focus Trust

Notes to Financial Statements (unaudited)

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies:

Royce Focus Trust, Inc. (the “Fund”), is a diversified closed-end investment company incorporated under the laws of the State of Maryland. The Fund commenced operations on March 2, 1988, and Royce & Associates, LLC (“Royce”) assumed investment management responsibility for the Fund on November 1, 1996.

At June 30, 2014, officers, employees of Royce, Fund directors, the Royce retirement plans and other affiliates owned 30% of the Fund.

Valuation of Investments:

Various inputs are used in determining the value of the Fund’s investments, as noted above. These inputs are summarized in the three broad levels below:

Level 1 – quoted prices in active markets for identical securities.

Level 2 – other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar securities, foreign securities that may be fair valued and repurchase agreements). The table below includes all Level 2 securities. Any Level 2 securities with values based on quoted prices for similar securities would be noted in the Schedule of Investments.

Level 3 – significant unobservable inputs (including last trade price before trading was suspended, or at a discount thereto for lack of marketability or otherwise, market price information regarding other securities, information received from the company and/or published documents, including SEC filings and financial statements, or other publicly available information).

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 to value the Fund’s investments as of June 30, 2014. For a detailed breakout of common stocks by sector classification, please refer to the Schedule of Investments.

Foreign Currency:

Securities Lending:

The Fund loans securities through a lending agent to qualified institutional investors for the purpose of realizing additional income. Collateral for the Fund on all securities loaned is accepted in cash and cash equivalents and invested temporarily by the custodian. The collateral maintained is at least 100% of the current market value of the loaned securities. The market value of the loaned securities is determined at the close of business of the Fund and any additional required collateral is delivered to the Fund on the next business day. The Fund retains the risk of any loss on the securities on loan as well as incurring the potential loss on investments purchased with cash collateral received for securities lending. The Fund’s securities lending income consists of the income earned on investing cash collateral, plus any premium payments received for lending certain securities, less any rebates paid to borrowers and lending agent fees associated with the loan. The lending agent is not affiliated with Royce.

The following table presents by financial instrument, the Fund’s assets and liabilities net of related collateral held by the Fund at June 30, 2014:

	Gross Amount of Assets and
	Liabilities in the Statements of	Collateral Received
	Assets and Liabilities ¹	and Pledged	Net Amount
Securities on Loan/Collateral on Loaned Securities	$9,442,175	$(9,442,175)	$ –

¹	Absent an event of default, assets and liabilities are presented gross and not offset in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities.

Taxes:

Distributions:

The Fund pays quarterly distributions on the Fund’s Common Stock at the annual rate of 5% of the rolling average of the prior four calendar quarter-end NAVs of the Fund’s Common Stock, with the fourth quarter distribution being the greater of 1.25% of the rolling average or the distribution required by IRS regulations. Prior to November 15, 2012, distributions to Preferred Stockholders were accrued daily and paid quarterly. Distributions to Common Stockholders are recorded on ex-dividend date. Distributable capital gains and/or net investment income were first allocated to Preferred Stockholder distributions, with any excess allocable to Common Stockholders. If capital gains and/or net investment income were allocated to both Preferred and Common Stockholders, the tax character of such allocations was proportional. To the extent that distributions are not paid from long-term capital gains, net investment income or net short-term capital gains, they will represent a return of capital. Distributions are determined in accordance with income tax regulations that may differ from accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Permanent book and tax differences relating to stockholder distributions will result in reclassifications within the capital accounts. Undistributed net investment income may include temporary book and tax basis differences, which will reverse in a subsequent period. Any taxable income or gain remaining undistributed at fiscal year end is distributed in the following year.

Investment Transactions and Related Investment Income:

Expenses:

The Fund incurs direct and indirect expenses. Expenses directly attributable to the Fund are charged to the Fund’s operations, while expenses applicable to more than one of the Royce Funds are allocated equitably. Certain personnel, occupancy costs and other administrative expenses related to the Royce Funds are allocated by Royce under an administration agreement and are included in administrative and office facilities and professional fees. The Fund has adopted a deferred fee agreement that allows the Directors to defer the receipt of all or a portion of directors’ fees otherwise payable. The deferred fees are invested in certain Royce Funds until distributed in accordance with the agreement.

Directors will hold office until their successors have been duly elected and qualified or until their earlier resignation or removal.

At meetings held on June 4-5, 2014, the Funds’ respective Boards of Directors, including all of the non-interested directors, approved the continuance of the Investment Advisory Agreements between Royce & Associates, LLC (“R&A”) and each of Royce Value Trust, Inc., Royce Micro-Cap Trust, Inc., and Royce Focus Trust, Inc. (each, a “Fund” and collectively, the “Funds”). In reaching these decisions, each Board reviewed the materials provided by R&A, which included, among other things, information prepared internally by R&A and independently by Morningstar Associates, LLC (“Morningstar”) containing detailed expense ratio and investment performance comparisons for the Funds with other funds in their respective “peer groups,” information regarding the past performance of the Funds and other registered investment companies managed by R&A and a memorandum outlining the legal duties of each Board prepared by independent counsel to the non-interested directors. R&A also provided the directors with an analysis of its profitability with respect to providing investment advisory services to each of the Funds. In addition, each Board took into account information furnished throughout the year at regular Board meetings, including reports on investment performance, stockholder services, regulatory compliance, brokerage commissions and research, and brokerage and execution products and services provided to the Funds. Each Board also considered other matters it deemed important to the approval process, such as allocation of Fund brokerage commissions, “soft dollar” research services R&A receives and other direct and indirect benefits to R&A and its affiliates, from their relationship with the relevant Fund. The directors also met throughout the year with investment advisory personnel from R&A. Each Board, in its deliberations, recognized that, for many of the Funds’ stockholders, the decision to purchase Fund shares included a decision to select R&A as the investment adviser and that there was a strong association in the minds of Fund stockholders between R&A and each Fund. In considering factors relating to the approval of the continuance of the Investment Advisory Agreements, the non-interested directors received assistance and advice from, and met separately with, their independent counsel. While the Investment Advisory Agreements were considered at the same Board meetings, the Boards dealt with each agreement separately. Among other factors, the directors considered the following:

The nature, extent and quality of services provided by R&A:

Each Board considered the following factors to be of fundamental importance to its consideration of whether to approve the continuance of the relevant Fund’s Investment Advisory Agreement: (i) R&A’s more than 40 years of value investing experience and track record; (ii) the history of long-tenured R&A portfolio managers managing the Funds; (iii) R&A’s focus on mid-cap, small-cap and micro-cap value investing; (iv) the consistency of R&A’s approach to managing the Funds and open-end mutual funds over more than 40 years; (v) the integrity and high ethical standards adhered to at R&A; (vi) R&A’s specialized experience in the area of trading small- and micro-cap securities; (vii) R&A’s historical ability to attract and retain portfolio management talent and (viii) R&A’s focus on stockholder interests as exemplified by expansive stockholder reporting and communications. Each Board reviewed the services that R&A provides to each Fund, including, but not limited to, managing each Fund’s investments in accordance with the stated policies of each Fund. Each Board considered the fact that R&A provided certain administrative services to the Funds at cost pursuant to the Administration Agreement between the Funds and R&A which went into effect on January 1, 2008. Each Board determined that the services to be provided to each Fund by R&A would be the same as those that it previously provided to the relevant Fund. The Boards also took into consideration the histories, reputations and backgrounds of R&A’s portfolio managers for the Funds, finding that these would likely have an impact on the continued success of the Funds. Lastly, each Board noted R&A’s ability to attract and retain quality and experienced personnel. The directors concluded that the investment advisory services provided by R&A to each Fund compared favorably to services provided by R&A to other R&A client accounts, including other funds, in both nature and quality, and that the scope of services provided by R&A would continue to be suitable for the Funds.

Investment performance of the Funds and R&A:

In light of R&A’s risk-averse approach to investing, each Board believes that risk-adjusted performance continues to be the most appropriate measure of each Fund’s investment performance. One measure of risk-adjusted performance the Boards have historically used in their review of the Funds’ performance is the Sharpe Ratio. The Sharpe Ratio is a risk-adjusted measure of performance developed by Nobel Laureate William Sharpe. It is calculated by dividing a fund’s annualized excess returns by its annualized standard deviation to determine reward per unit of risk. The higher the Sharpe Ratio, the better a fund’s historical risk-adjusted performance. Each Board attaches primary importance to risk-adjusted performance over relatively long periods of time, typically 3 to 10 years. Using Morningstar data, the Sharpe Ratio for Royce Value Trust, Inc. (“RVT”) placed in the 4th quartile within the Small Blend category assigned by Morningstar for the 3- and 5-year periods and the 3rd quartile for the 10-year period ended December 31, 2013, as RVT’s past use of leverage through preferred stock created higher volatility and worse down market performance. Using Morningstar data, the Sharpe Ratio for Royce Micro-Cap Trust, Inc. (“RMT”) placed in the 3rd quartile, 2nd quartile, and 3rd quartile within the Small Blend category assigned by Morningstar for the 3-, 5- and 10-year periods ended December 31, 2013, respectively, as RMT’s past use of leverage through preferred stock created higher volatility and worse down market performance. Finally, using Morningstar data, the Board noted that the concentrated portfolio and recent overweighting of companies from the metals and mining industry for Royce Focus Trust, Inc. (“RFT”) led to its bottom quartile Sharpe Ratio performance in the Mid Cap Growth category assigned by Morningstar for the 3-year, 5-year, and 10-year periods ended December 31, 2013.

In addition to each Fund’s risk–adjusted performance, each Board also reviewed and considered each Fund’s absolute total returns, down market performance, and long-term performance records over periods of 10 years or longer. Each Board also considered it important to look beyond the current snapshot of performance as of December 31, 2013 and therefore examined extended performance histories for each Fund using monthly rolling average return periods through March 31, 2014.

Each Board noted that R&A manages a number of funds that invest in small-cap and micro-cap issuers, many of which were outperforming their benchmark indexes and their competitors. Although each Board recognized that past performance is not necessarily an indicator of future results, it found that R&A had the necessary qualifications, experience and track record in managing small-cap and micro-cap securities to

manage the relevant Fund. The directors determined that R&A continued to be an appropriate investment adviser for the Funds and concluded that each Fund’s performance supported the renewal of its Investment Advisory Agreement.

Cost of the services provided and profits realized by R&A from its relationship with the Funds:

Each Board considered the cost of the services provided by R&A and profits realized by R&A from its relationship with each Fund. As part of the analysis, each Board discussed with R&A its methodology in allocating its costs to each Fund and concluded that its allocations were reasonable. Each Board concluded that R&A’s profits were reasonable in relation to the nature and quality of services provided.

The extent to which economies of scale would be realized as the Funds grow and whether fee levels would reflect such economies of scale:

Each Board considered whether there have been economies of scale in respect of the management of each Fund, whether each Fund has appropriately benefited from any economies of scale and whether there is potential for realization of any further economies of scale. Each Board noted the time and effort involved in managing portfolios of small- and micro-cap stocks and that they did not involve the same efficiencies as do portfolios of large-cap stocks. Each Board concluded that the current fee structure for each Fund was reasonable, that stockholders sufficiently participated in economies of scale and that no changes were currently necessary.

Comparison of services to be rendered and fees to be paid to those under other investment advisory contracts, such as contracts of the same and other investment advisers or other clients:

Each Board reviewed the investment advisory fee paid by each Fund and compared both the services to be rendered and the fees to be paid under the Investment Advisory Agreements to other contracts of R&A and to contracts of other investment advisers to registered investment companies investing in small- and micro-cap stocks, as provided by Morningstar. In the case of RVT, its Board noted that it had a 1.00% basic fee that is subject to adjustment up or down (up to 0.50% in either direction) based on its performance versus the S&P 600 SmallCap Index over a rolling period of 60 months. The fee is charged on average net assets over that rolling period. As a result, in a rising market, the fee will be smaller than a fee calculated on the current year’s average net assets, and vice versa. The Board determined that the performance adjustment feature continued to serve as an appropriate incentive to R&A to manage RVT for the benefit of its long-term common stockholders. The Board also noted that the fee arrangement, which also includes a provision for no fee in periods where RVT’s trailing three-year performance is negative, requires R&A to measure RVT’s performance monthly against the S&P 600, an unmanaged index. Instead of receiving a set fee regardless of its performance, R&A is penalized for poor performance. The Board noted that RVT’s net expense ratio placed it in the 1st percentile within its Morningstar peer group for 2013. In the case of RMT, the Board noted that it also had a 1.00% basic fee subject to adjustment up or down based on its performance versus the Russell 2000 Index over a rolling 36 month period. The fee is charged on average net assets over that rolling period. As a result, in a rising market, the fee will be smaller than a fee calculated on the current year’s average net assets, and vice versa. The Board determined that the performance adjustment feature continued to serve as an incentive to R&A to manage RMT for the benefit of its long-term common stockholders. The Board noted that RMT’s net expense ratio placed it in the 1st quartile when compared against its Morningstar peer group for 2013. Finally, in the case of RFT, the Board noted that its net expense ratio based on average net assets fell within the 3rd quartile of its Morningstar-assigned open-end peer group, 8 basis points above the Morningstar peer group median.

Each Board also considered fees charged by R&A to institutional and other clients and noted that, given the greater levels of services that R&A provides to registered investment companies such as the Funds as compared to other accounts, the base advisory fee for RVT and RMT and the advisory fee for RFT compared favorably to the advisory fees charged to those other accounts.

It was noted that no single factor was cited as determinative to the decision of the directors. Rather, after weighing all of the considerations and conclusions discussed above, each entire Board, including all of the non-interested directors, approved the continuation of the existing Investment Advisory Agreement, concluding that a contract continuation on the existing terms was in the best interest of the stockholders of each Fund and that each investment advisory fee rate was reasonable in relation to the services provided.

Investment Advisory Agreement for Royce Global Value Trust:

At a meeting held on February 16, 2011, the Board of Directors of Royce Global Value Trust, Inc. (the “Board”), including all of the non-interested directors, approved the Investment Advisory Agreement between Royce & Associates, LLC (“R&A”) and Royce Global Value Trust, Inc. (“RGT” or the “Fund”). In reaching these decisions, the Board reviewed a memorandum from R&A which discussed the management strategies and methodologies to be employed by R&A and the proposed advisory fee. The Board also reviewed a memorandum outlining the Board’s legal duties prepared by independent counsel to the non-interested directors. In connection therewith, the Board considered: (i) R&A’s qualifications, (ii) the general reputation and financial resources of R&A, (iii) the reasonableness of the management fee, (iv) the controls on the Fund’s operating expenses, (v) the nature, extent and quality of the services to be provided by R&A, (vi) the investment performance of other funds managed by R&A, (vii) the cost to R&A of providing the services and the profit to be realized by R&A and (viii) a comparison of the services to be rendered and the fees to be paid by other R&A accounts both that are, and that are not, registered investment companies. The Board also considered the materials previously provided by R&A in connection with this meeting and to the members of the Board at meetings of the other funds managed by R&A during the preceding year, which included, among other things, fee information for funds with profiles similar to those of the Fund, prepared by R&A using data provided by Morningstar Associates, LLC and information regarding the past performance of funds managed by R&A. The non-interested directors also

noted that they had met with investment advisory personnel from R&A. The Board also considered factors relating to both the selection of the investment adviser and the approval of the advisory fee when reviewing the proposed Investment Advisory Agreement. In considering all of the factors relating to the approval of the Investment Advisory Agreement, the non-interested directors received assistance and advice from, and met separately with, their independent counsel. Among other factors, the directors considered the following:

The nature, extent and quality of services provided by R&A:

The non-interested directors reviewed the services that R&A would provide to the Fund, including, but not limited to, generally managing the Fund’s investments in accordance with the stated policies of the Fund. The non-interested directors also discussed with officers of R&A and Charles M. Royce the amount of time R&A would dedicate to the Fund. Additionally, the non-interested directors considered the services provided by R&A to the other R&A-managed Funds.

   The non-interested directors determined that the services proposed for RGT by R&A would be similar to those being provided to the other R&A-managed funds. They also took into consideration the favorable history, reputation and background of Charles M. Royce, who will serve as portfolio manager for the Fund, finding that these would likely have an impact on the success of the Fund. Lastly, the non-interested directors noted R&A’s ability to attract quality and experienced personnel. The non-interested directors concluded that the proposed services of R&A to the Fund compared favorably to services provided by R&A for other R&A-managed funds and other R&A client accounts in both nature and quality. The non-interested directors concluded that the scope of services provided by R&A would be suitable for RGT.

Investment performance of the Fund and R&A:

Because the Fund was just being formed, the non-interested directors did not consider the investment performance of the Fund. The non-interested directors reviewed R&A’s performance for other R&A-managed funds. The non-interested directors recognized that past performance is not an indicator of future performance, but found that R&A had the necessary expertise to manage RGT. The non-interested directors determined that R&A would be an appropriate investment adviser for the Fund.

Cost of the services to be provided and profits to be realized by R&A from the relationship with the Fund:

The non-interested directors considered the anticipated cost of the services to be provided by R&A. Under the Investment Advisory Agreement, RGT would pay 1.25% per annum of the Fund’s average net assets (including any preferred stock).

   Since the Fund is being formed by a “spin-off” of a portion of the assets of Royce Value Trust, Inc. (“RVT”), the non-interested directors considered the fee proposed to be paid by the Fund in comparison with the fee paid by RVT. They noted that the proposed fee to be paid by the Fund is 0.25% higher than the 1.00% base advisory fee rate paid by RVT to R&A. They also noted that RVT has a fee determined by performance that causes RVT’s annual fee to adjust up to 0.50% either above or below the base advisory fee. They also noted that pursuant to the RVT investment advisory agreement, R&A is not entitled to receive any fee for any month when the investment performance of RVT for the rolling 36-month period ending with such month is negative. The non-interested directors noted that for this reason, the annual advisory fee proposed for the Fund may be higher or lower than that paid by RVT, and that for the three years ended December 31, 2010, the proposed fee RGT would have been higher than that paid by RVT. The non-interested directors considered the fact that R&A is not proposing a fulcrum fee structure for the Fund like RVT’s due to the difficulty in selecting an appropriate international smaller-cap benchmark and the absolute return focus of the Fund. They also noted that RGT will be able to invest all of its assets in non-U.S. securities and that RVT can invest only 25% of its assets in such securities, as well as the fact that the proposed fee for RGT is consistent with the fee charged by R&A for the open-end international and global funds that it manages.

   In reviewing the proposed investment advisory fee for RGT, the non-interested directors considered the advisory fees of other similar funds, as provided by Morningstar. The non-interested directors noted that the proposed investment advisory fee was higher than the median of similar funds in the Morningstar materials. The non-interested directors further noted that providing investment advisory services to the Fund that will invest a significant portion of its portfolio in non-U.S., small-cap securities is expected to be considerably more labor intensive and time consuming than providing investment advisory services to funds that invest primarily in non-U.S., larger capitalization securities. The non-interested directors did not consider the profitability of RGT since it was recently formed and had no operating history.

The extent to which economies of scale would be realized as the Fund grows and whether fee levels would reflect such economies of scale:

The non-interested directors noted that R&A did not currently expect the Fund to grow to a size that would allow it to experience significant economies of scale.

Comparison of services to be rendered and fees to be paid to those under other investment advisory contracts, such as contracts of the same and other investment advisers or other clients:

As discussed above, the non-interested directors compared both the services to be rendered and the fees to be paid under the Investment Advisory Agreement to other contracts of R&A and to contracts of other investment advisers to registered investment companies investing in smaller-cap securities.

   It was noted that no single factor was determinative to the decision of the Board. Rather, after weighing all of the factors above, the Board, including the non-interested directors, unanimously determined to approve the Fund’s Investment Advisory Agreement.
