Management Discussion of Fund Performance (Unaudited) |
Diamond Hill Small Cap Fund
Investing Environment
2021 marked the second year into the coronavirus pandemic, coinciding with another year of strong gains. US markets, as measured by the Russell 3000® Index, rose 25.7%, while the MSCI All Country World ex-USA Index advanced 7.8%.
The first half of 2021 was marked by optimism as continued distribution of COVID-19 vaccines globally and gradual steps to reopen economies drove broad gains in stocks across sectors. However, the second half of the year proved a bit choppier with the emergence of the Delta variant throughout the summer months, which, combined with inflation concerns and supply chain disruptions, brought into question the pace of economic reopening. Stocks continued to move higher in the fourth quarter as investor concerns were somewhat alleviated with better-than-expected corporate earnings. The emergence of another COVID variant, Omicron, also created economic uncertainty and caused equity markets to fall in late November, but its market impact was short-lived as Omicron proved to be less of a risk than feared.
Performance Discussion
Top contributors within the portfolio during the period included: Las Vegas locals casino operator Red Rock Resorts, Inc.; regional bank Bank OZK; regional bank Sterling Bancorp; self-storage REIT CubeSmart; and distributor of electrical, industrial and communications materials, WESCO International, Inc. Bottom contributors during the period included: rental and leasing services company PROG Holdings, Inc.; provider of regulated medical waste management Stericycle, Inc.; specialty chemicals company Chase Corporation; footwear and apparel company Wolverine World Wide, Inc.; and specialty food manufacturer and marketer Lancaster Colony Corporation.
Fund Changes
During the period, we identified new investment opportunities and added positions to the portfolio including: specialty chemicals company Chase Corporation; regional bank First Interstate BancSystem, Inc.; regional bank Glacier Bancorp, Inc.; metals mining company Taseko Mines Limited; and concrete pumping services provider Concrete Pumping Holdings, Inc. Civitas Resources, Inc., also a new name in the portfolio, is the result of a merger of our prior holding Bonanza Creek Energy and Extraction Oil & Gas and the acquisition of Crestone Peak, which closed November 1, 2021. Throughout the year, we closed positions in companies that reached our estimate of intrinsic value and to fund purchases of more attractive investment opportunities. Larger sales included: freight transportation management company Hub Group, Inc.; specialty chemicals company W R Grace & Co; medical device company LivaNova Plc; airline Alaska Air Group, Inc.; and insurance broker Brown & Brown, Inc. Current and future portfolio holdings are subject to change and risk.

Investing Environment
2021 marked the second year into the coronavirus pandemic, coinciding with another year of strong gains. US markets, as measured by the Russell 3000® Index, rose 25.7%, while the MSCI All Country World ex-USA Index advanced 7.8%.
The first half of 2021 was marked by optimism as continued distribution of COVID-19 vaccines globally and gradual steps to reopen economies drove broad gains in stocks across sectors. However, the second half of the year proved a bit choppier with the emergence of the Delta variant throughout the summer months, which, combined with inflation concerns and supply chain disruptions, brought into question the pace of economic reopening. Stocks continued to move higher in the fourth quarter as investor concerns were somewhat alleviated with better-than-expected corporate earnings. The emergence of another COVID variant, Omicron, also created economic uncertainty and caused equity markets to fall in late November, but its market impact was short-lived as Omicron proved to be less of a risk than feared.

Diamond Hill International Fund |
Investing Environment
2021 closed out another year of strong gains for equity markets globally. The MSCI All Country World Index advanced 18.5%, with the majority of those returns driven by developed markets as emerging markets stocks fell -2.5% as measured by the MSCI Emerging Markets Index. US markets, as measured by the Russell 3000® Index, rose 25.7%. Early in 2021, we saw continued distribution of COVID-19 vaccines globally, gradual steps to reopening economies and broad gains in stocks across sectors. As economic recoveries progressed and the pandemic persisted, economies began facing rising inflation, supply chain disruptions and surging energy prices.
The final months of 2021 proved volatile for investors. Better than expected quarterly earnings reports lifted stocks in October despite macro headwinds. Stocks continued their upward momentum into the early days of November, then traded in a narrow range until the day after Thanksgiving when news of the Omicron variant rocked the world. By mid-December, stocks erased most of the Omicron-induced losses as data emerged that the variant posed less of a risk than previous ones such as Delta. Also in December, the US Federal Reserve announced plans to accelerate the withdrawal of stimulus and signaled interest rates would go up next year, a significant indication of heightened inflation concerns.
Energy stocks were the clear winners in the year, along with technology stocks, driven by economic recoveries around the globe, while the financials and real estate sectors benefited from higher interest rate expectations. The communication services sector as well as more defensive areas of the market such as utilities and consumer staples lagged the robust returns of other sectors but still posted gains.

Diamond Hill Short Duration Securitized Bond Fund |
Investing Environment
For only the fourth time in its existence, the US investment grade fixed income market (as measured by the Bloomberg U.S. Aggregate Bond Index) delivered negative returns in a calendar year due largely to a combination of rising rates, economic resurgence post-pandemic shutdowns, and supply/demand dislocations fueling historic inflation levels. The Federal Reserve gradually shifted from viewing inflation as transitory to something that needed to be actively addressed, accelerating expectations for rate hikes to start early 2022 rather than year-end 2022. The Federal Reserve also shifted its stance on tapering — from “thinking about” to “talking about” to “executing” — and is now accelerating the process to complete it by March 2022. While the longer end of the Treasury curve experienced gyrations throughout the year as the Delta and Omicron variants of COVID-19 increased investor uncertainty, the shorter end of the curve generally remained anchored. Only after the Federal Reserve began laying the groundwork for tapering and potential rate hikes in 2022 did the two-year Treasury rate begin to move higher, rising from an average yield of 0.166% from the beginning of the year through the end of August, then climbing through the final four months to finish the year at 0.732%.
Performance Discussion
The Short Duration Securitized Bond Fund outperformed the Bloomberg U.S. 1-3 Yr. Gov./Credit Index in 2021. Despite the meteoric rise in short-term rates in 2021’s latter part, the Fund was able to deliver positive returns while adding relative value through security selection and a significant yield advantage over the benchmark. The recovery in the securitized market seen in 2020’s second half carried into early 2021, delivering strong returns in January. Subsequent months saw the Fund’s yield advantage as well as continued spread tightening in the non-agency commercial mortgage-backed securities market drive performance. Despite a record level of issuance in the asset-backed securities sector, investors had more than enough appetite for yield to push spreads ever tighter throughout 2021. As short-end rates began surging higher in the latter part of 2021, the Fund’s favorable yield offset some of the impact.
Fund Changes
Reflecting the increase in yields on the shorter end of the curve in the later part of 2021, the Short Duration Securitized Bond Fund deployed cash into both short Treasury and short corporate debt securities as these market segments provided additional yield beyond cash equivalents. In the securitized sector, the Fund increased the allocation to non-agency commercial mortgage-backed securities while reducing the allocation to asset-backed securities. The reduction in asset-backed securities was not fueled by sales but rather redirecting monthly paydowns to other market areas that offered better relative value.

Diamond Hill Core Bond Fund |
Investing Environment
For only the fourth time in its existence, the US investment grade fixed income market (as measured by the Bloomberg U.S. Aggregate Bond Index) delivered negative returns in a calendar year due largely to a combination of rising rates, economic resurgence post-pandemic shutdowns, and supply/demand dislocations fueling historic inflation levels.

Performance Discussion
The Core Bond Fund has always been managed with a goal of generating excess returns relative to the Bloomberg U.S. Aggregate Bond Index while working to protect against downside risk. Calendar year 2021 was an example of limiting the downside as some of the impact of rising rates on the portfolio was mitigated through security selection. An underweight position relative to the benchmark in the credit sector as well as a shorter duration posture — the result of our bottom-up approach to security selection and portfolio construction — contributed to relative performance during the year. The Fund’s overweight in the securitized sector also contributed to relative performance during 2021, fueled by security selection in the asset-backed securities (ABS) sector as well as positioning in the mortgage-backed securities (MBS) sector. Within the ABS sector, allocations to non-benchmark market segments such as small business were additive. The Fund’s differentiation in the MBS market, achieved through investments in collateralized mortgage obligations in lieu of plain vanilla pass-through mortgages, contributed to performance. The Fund’s underweight to the Treasury sector as well as a longer duration posture in this market segment contributed to performance as longer duration Treasuries were less volatile than the belly of the curve.
Fund Changes
Sector changes to the Core Bond Fund are based on an investment philosophy focusing on a bottom-up security selection process. The duration positioning (sensitivity to interest rate fluctuations) relative to the benchmark remained at the lower end of the +/- 10% range relative to the benchmark due to the uncertain trajectory of rates during the majority of the year. Sector allocations in the fund remained fairly steady over the year, reflecting the focus on security selection and a bottom-up investment philosophy. As opportunities in the commercial MBS space presented themselves earlier in the year, the Fund shifted by deploying monthly paydowns into that sector, resulting in a slight increase over the previous year-end. The Fund’s allocation to investment grade credit increased slightly over the year while the allocation to agency residential and commercial MBS declined as paydowns were deployed into other areas of the market that offered better relative value.

The Diamond Hill Small Cap Fund (“Small Cap Fund”), Diamond Hill Small-Mid Cap Fund (“Small-Mid Cap Fund”), Diamond Hill Mid Cap Fund (“Mid Cap Fund”), Diamond Hill Large Cap Fund (“Large Cap Fund”), Diamond Hill Large Cap Concentrated Fund (“Large Cap Concentrated Fund”), Diamond Hill All Cap Select Fund (“All Cap Select Fund”), Diamond Hill Long-Short Fund (“Long-Short Fund”), Diamond Hill International Fund (“International Fund”), Diamond Hill Short Duration Securitized Bond Fund (“Short Duration Fund”) and Diamond Hill Core Bond Fund (“Core Bond Fund”) are each a diversified series, except for All Cap Select Fund and Large Cap Concentrated Fund which are non-diversified, of the Diamond Hill Funds (the “Trust”) (each a “Fund” and collectively the “Funds”). The Trust is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”), as an open-end management company. Each Fund follows accounting and reporting guidance under Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification Topic 946, “Financial Services – Investment Companies.”
The shareholders of the Diamond Hill Research Opportunities Fund (“Research Opportunities Fund”) approved an Agreement and Plan of Reorganization providing for the transfer of all assets and liabilities of the Research Opportunities Fund to the Long-Short Fund. The tax-free reorganization took place on October 23, 2020.
The following is a summary of shares outstanding, net assets, net asset value (“NAV”) per share and unrealized appreciation immediately before and after the reorganization.

For financial reporting purposes, assets received, and shares issued by the Long-Short Fund were recorded at fair value; however, the cost basis of the investments received from the Research Opportunities Fund was carried forward to align ongoing reporting of the Long-Short Fund’s realized and unrealized gains and losses with amounts distributable to shareholders for tax purposes.
All Funds currently offer three classes of shares: Investor, Class I and Class Y. Prior to February 22, 2021, the Small Cap Fund, Small-Mid Cap Fund, Large Cap Fund, All Cap Select Fund and Long-Short Fund offered four classes of shares including Class C (sold with a contingent deferred sales charge of 1.00% for shares redeemed within one year of the purchase date). On February 22, 2021, all existing Class C shares were converted to Investor shares at the Investor shares NAV per share as of February 22, 2021. On February 28, 2021, all Class A shares were renamed to Investor shares and the initial sales charge on the shares was eliminated. Each class of shares for each Fund has identical rights and privileges except with respect to distribution (12b-1) and service fees, voting rights on matters affecting a single class of shares, exchange privileges of each class of shares.
New Accounting Pronouncement
In March 2020, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2020-04 (“ASU 2020-04”), “Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting”. ASU 2020-04 provides optional temporary financial reporting relief from the effect of certain types of contract modifications due to the discontinuation of the London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) and other interbank-offered based reference rates at the end of 2021. ASU 2020-04 is effective for certain reference rate-related contract modifications that occur during the period March 12, 2020 through December 31, 2022. The Funds will consider this optional guidance prospectively, if applicable.
Significant Accounting Policies
The following is a summary of the Funds’ significant accounting policies:
Estimates — The financial statements are prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”), which requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and 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.

Security valuation — The Funds record their investments at fair value. Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The valuation techniques used by the Funds maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs in determining fair value. These inputs are summarized in the three broad levels listed below:
● | Level 1 — quoted prices in active markets for identical securities |
● | Level 2 — other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.) |
● | Level 3 — significant unobservable inputs (including the Funds’ own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments) |
Listed securities for which market quotations are readily available are valued at the closing prices as determined by the primary exchange where the securities are traded. Unlisted securities or listed securities for which the latest sales prices are not readily available are valued at the closing bid (long positions) or ask (short positions) price in the principal market where such securities are normally traded. Investments in other open-end investment companies are valued at their reported NAV per share. In each of these situations, valuations are typically categorized as Level 1 in the fair value hierarchy.
Debt securities are valued on the basis of valuations provided by dealers or by an independent pricing service which take into account appropriate factors such as trading activity (i.e., market transactions for normal, institutional-size trading units of similar securities), readily available market quotations (including broker quotes), yield, quality, coupon rate, maturity, type of issue, trading characteristic, call features, credit ratings and other data. Short-term debt investments of sufficient credit quality maturing in less than 61 days may be valued at amortized cost, if amortized cost is determined to approximate fair value. In each of these situations, valuations are typically categorized as Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy.
Securities for which market quotations are not readily available (e.g., an approved pricing service does not provide a price, a price becomes stale, or an event occurs that materially affects the furnished price) are valued by the Valuation & Liquidity Committee. In these cases, the Valuation & Liquidity Committee, established and appointed by the Board of Trustees, determines in good faith, subject to Trust procedures, the fair value of portfolio securities held by a Fund (“good faith fair valuation”). When a good faith fair valuation of a security is required, consideration is generally given to a number of factors, including, but not limited to the following: dealer quotes, published analyses by dealers or analysts of the situation at issue, transactions implicitly valuing the security (such as a merger, tender offer, etc.), the value of other securities or contracts which derive their value from the security at issue, and the implications (whether negative or positive) of the circumstances which have caused trading in the security to halt. Depending on the source and relative significance of the valuation inputs in these instances, the valuations for these securities may be classified as Level 2 or Level 3 in the fair value hierarchy.

In accordance with procedures adopted by the Trust’s Board of Trustees, fair value pricing may be used if events materially affecting the value of foreign equity securities occur between the time the exchange on which they are traded closes and the time the Funds’ NAVs are calculated. The Funds use a systematic valuation model, provided daily by an independent third party, to fair value their international equity securities. These valuations are considered as Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy.
Changes in valuation techniques may result in transfers in or out of an assigned level within the disclosure hierarchy.
The inputs or methodology used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risks associated with investing in those securities. For example, short-term debt securities of sufficient credit quality maturing in less than 61 days may be valued using amortized cost in accordance with rules under the 1940 Act. Generally, amortized cost approximates the current fair value of a security, but since the value is not obtained from a quoted price in an active market, such securities are reflected as Level 2. The following is a summary of the Funds’ investments and the inputs used to value the investments as of December 31, 2021:

Short sales — The Long-Short Fund and International Fund are permitted to make short sales of securities. Short sales are effective when it is believed that the price of a particular security will decline and involves the sale of a security that the Fund does not own in hope of purchasing the same security at a later date at a lower price. To make delivery to the buyer, a Fund must borrow the security, and the Fund is obligated to return the security to the lender, which is accomplished by a later purchase of the security by the Fund. Cash received from short sales and other liquid securities are maintained by the custodian and are used as collateral. Cash collateral is shown as “Cash deposits with custodian for securities sold short” on the Statements of Assets & Liabilities and “Segregated Cash With Custodian” on the Schedules of Investments. Liquid securities pledged as collateral are noted on the Schedules of Investments.

A Fund will incur a loss as a result of a short sale if the price of the security increases between the date of the short sale and the date on which the Fund purchases the security to replace the borrowed security. Although a Fund’s gain is limited to the amount at which it sold a security short, its potential loss is not limited. The use of short sales may cause a Fund to have higher expenses (specifically dividend expenses) than those of other equity mutual funds. Short sales are speculative transactions and involve special risks, including greater reliance on the ability of the Funds’ investment adviser, Diamond Hill Capital Management, Inc. (“DHCM”), to accurately anticipate the future value of a security.
A Fund may also incur stock loan fees which represent the cost of borrowing securities used for short sale transactions. A Fund may also earn rebates as an element of the custodian arrangement, which are recorded as an offset to stock loan fees on short sales transactions. The stock loan fees on short sales are recognized on the Statements of Operations. In the event that rebates exceed the stock loan fees on short sales, the net rebates are recognized as a component of investment income on the Statements of Operations.
Securities lending — Under the terms of the securities lending agreement with State Street Bank and Trust Company (“State Street���), State Street is authorized to loan securities on behalf of the Funds to approved borrowers. The contractual maturity of securities lending transactions is on an overnight and continuous basis. In exchange, the Funds receive cash and/or U.S. Treasury and government agency securities as collateral in the amount of at least 100% of the value of the securities loaned. Any collateral shortfalls due to changes in security market prices are adjusted the next business day. The cash collateral is invested in short-term instruments as noted in each Fund’s Schedule of Investments. Although risk is mitigated by the collateral, the Funds could experience a delay in recovering their securities and possible loss of income or value if the borrower fails to return them. The agreement indemnifies the Funds from losses incurred in the event of a borrower’s material default of the terms and conditions of the borrower agreement. The agreement provides that after predetermined rebates to borrowers, the Funds each retain a portion of their respective net securities lending income and pay State Street the remaining portion. The Funds manage credit exposure arising from these lending transactions by, in appropriate circumstances, entering into a master netting agreement and collateral agreement with State Street that provide the Funds, in the event of default (such as bankruptcy or borrower’s failure to pay or perform), the right to net rights and obligations under such agreements and liquidate and set off collateral against the net amount owed to the Funds.

Security transactions — Throughout the reporting period, investment transactions are generally recorded on trade date but no later than the first business day following trade date. For financial reporting purposes, investments are recorded on trade date. The specific identification method is used for determining realized gains or losses for financial statements and income tax purposes. Dividend income and expense are recognized on the ex-dividend date and interest income is recognized on an accrual basis. Non-cash dividends included in dividend income, if any, are recorded at the fair market value of the securities received. Taxes on foreign dividends and/or capital gains have been recorded for in accordance with the Funds’ understanding of the applicable country’s tax rules and rates. Discounts and premiums on securities purchased are amortized using the daily effective yield method and included in interest income. The Funds record distributions received from investments in real estate investment trusts (also known as “REITs”) and partnerships in excess of income from underlying investments as a reduction of cost of investments and/or realized gain. Such amounts are based on estimates if actual amounts are not available, and actual amounts of income, realized gain and return of capital may differ from the estimated amounts. The Funds adjust the estimated amounts once the issuers provide information about the actual composition of the distributions. Interest only stripped mortgage-backed securities (“IO Strips”) are securities that receive only interest payments from a pool of mortgage loans. Little to no principal will be received by the Funds upon maturity of an IO Strip. Periodic adjustments are recorded to reduce the cost of the security until maturity, which are included in interest income.
Share valuation — The NAV per share of each class of shares of each Fund is calculated daily by dividing the total value of a Fund’s assets attributable to that class, less liabilities attributable to that class, by the number of shares of that class outstanding.
Income taxes — The Funds may be subject to taxes imposed by countries in which they invest. Such taxes are generally based on income and/or capital gains earned or repatriated. Taxes are accrued and applied to net investment income, net realized gains and unrealized appreciation as such income and/or gains are earned.

Each Fund has complied and intends to continue to comply with the requirements of the Internal Revenue Code that are applicable to regulated investment companies and to distribute substantially all of its taxable net investment income and any net realized capital gains to its shareholders.
The Funds recognize tax benefits or expenses of uncertain tax positions only when the position is “more likely than not” to be sustained assuming examination by tax authorities. Management of the Funds has reviewed tax positions taken in tax years that remain subject to examination by all major tax jurisdictions, including federal (i.e., the previous three tax year ends and the interim tax period since then, as applicable), and has concluded that no provision for unrecognized tax benefits or expenses is required in these financial statements and does not expect this to change over the next twelve months. The Funds recognize interest and penalties, if any, related to unrecognized tax benefits as income tax expense on the Statements of Operations. During the year ended December 31, 2021, the Funds did not incur any interest or penalties.
Distributions to shareholders — Dividends from net investment income are declared and paid monthly for the Short Duration Fund and Core Bond Fund. Dividends from net investment income are declared and paid on an annual basis for the Small Cap Fund, Small-Mid Cap Fund, Mid Cap Fund, Large Cap Fund, Large Cap Concentrated Fund, All Cap Select Fund, Long-Short Fund and International Fund. Dividends are declared separately for each class. No class has preferential dividend rights; differences in per share rates are due to differences in the expenses of each class. Net realized capital gains, if any, are distributed at least annually. Distributions from net investment income and from net capital gains are determined in accordance with U.S. income tax regulations, which may differ from GAAP. These differences are primarily due to differing treatments for paydown gains and losses on mortgage-backed securities and deferrals of certain losses. Permanent book and tax basis differences are reclassified among the components of net assets. Certain Funds may utilize earnings and profits distributed to shareholders on redemption of shares as part of the dividends paid deduction for income tax purposes.
Allocations — Investment income earned, realized capital gains and losses, and unrealized appreciation and depreciation are allocated daily to each class of shares of a Fund based upon its proportionate share of total net assets of the Fund. Class specific expenses are charged directly to the class incurring the expense. Common expenses, which are not attributable to a specific class, are allocated daily to each class of shares based upon its proportionate share of total net assets of the Fund. Expenses not directly billed to a Fund are allocated proportionally among all Funds daily in relation to net assets of each Fund or another reasonable measure.
Foreign securities risk — Investing in non-U.S. securities may entail risk due to foreign economic and political developments; this risk may be higher when investing in emerging markets. Changes in currency exchange rates and differences in accounting and taxation policies outside the U.S. can raise or lower returns.
Foreign currency translation — The books and records of the Funds are maintained in U.S. dollars. Investment securities and other assets and liabilities denominated in a foreign currency are translated into U.S. dollars on the date of valuation. The Funds do not isolate that portion of realized or unrealized gains and losses resulting from changes in the foreign

exchange rate from fluctuations arising from changes in the market prices of the securities. These gains and losses are included in net realized and unrealized gains (losses) on investments on the Statements of Operations. Net realized and unrealized gains (losses) on foreign currency transactions represent net foreign exchange gains or losses from foreign currency exchange contracts, disposition of foreign currencies, currency gains or losses realized between trade and settlement dates on securities transactions and the difference between the amount of the investment income and foreign withholding taxes recorded on the Funds’ books and the U.S. dollar equivalent amounts actually received or paid.

Reclassifications of capital accounts – Reclassifications result primarily from utilization of earnings and profits on shareholder redemptions and net operating losses. The following reclassifications have no impact on the net assets or NAV per share of the Funds and are designed to present each Fund’s capital accounts on a tax basis:
| | Paid-In Capital | | | Distributable Earnings | |

In-Kind Redemption Transactions
During the year ended December 31, 2021, Large Cap Fund realized $33,460,273 of net capital gains resulting from in-kind redemptions (redemptions in which shareholders who redeemed Fund shares received investment securities held by the Fund rather than cash). The Fund recognizes a gain on in-kind redemptions to the extent that the value of the distributed investment securities on the date of redemption exceeds the cost of those investment securities. Such gains are not taxable to the Fund and are not required to be distributed to shareholders. The Fund has reclassified this amount against paid-in capital on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities. Such reclassification, the result of permanent differences between the financial statement and income tax reporting requirements, had no effect on the Fund’s net assets or NAV per share.
Borrowings
The Small Cap Fund, Small-Mid Cap Fund, Mid Cap Fund, Large Cap Fund, Large Cap Concentrated Fund, All Cap Select Fund, Long-Short Fund, International Fund, Short Duration Fund and Core Bond Fund each has an unsecured line of credit up to 20.0%, 20.0%, 20.0%, 33.3%, 20.0%, 25.0%, 15.0%, 20.0%, 20.0% and 20.0%, respectively, of its net assets, with a total maximum of $40,000,000.
Borrowings under the agreement bear interest at the sum of 0.10% plus the higher of Federal Funds Effective Rate or the Overnight Bank Funding Rate plus 1.25%. The line of credit is available until June 1, 2022, unless extended, when any advances are to be repaid. During the year or period ended December 31, 2021, no amounts were drawn from the available line.
In accordance with an exemptive order (the “Order”) from the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”), the Funds may participate in a joint lending and borrowing facility for temporary purposes (the “Interfund Lending Program”), subject to compliance with the terms and conditions of the Order, and to the extent permitted by each Fund’s investment policies and restrictions. A lending fund may lend in aggregate up to 15% of its net assets, but may not lend more than 5% of its net assets to anyone borrowing fund through the Interfund Lending Program. A borrowing fund may not borrow through the Interfund Lending Program or from any other source more than 33 1/3% of its total assets (or any lower threshold provided for by the fund’s investment restrictions). If a borrowing fund’s total outstanding borrowings exceed 10% of its total assets, each of its outstanding interfund loans will be subject to collateralization of at least 102% of the outstanding principal value of the loan. All interfund loans are for temporary or emergency purposes and the interest rate to be charged will be the average of the highest current overnight repurchase agreement rate available to a lending fund and the bank loan rate, as calculated according to a formula established by the Board. During the year ended December 31, 2021, none of the Funds participated in the Interfund Lending Program.

Other Matters
The global spread of novel coronavirus disease (COVID-19) was declared a pandemic by the World Health Organization. This pandemic has resulted in significant disruptions to economies and markets, adversely impacting individual companies, sectors, industries, currencies, interest and inflation rates, credit ratings, and investor sentiment. COVID-19 has caused volatility, severe market dislocations and liquidity constraints in many markets, including markets for the securities the Funds hold, and may adversely affect the Funds’ investments and operations. The duration and extent of COVID-19 over the long-term cannot be reasonably estimated at this time. There have been no comparable recent events that provide guidance as to the effect the spread of COVID-19 as a global pandemic may have on the Funds’ financial performance. In addition, COVID-19 and governmental responses to COVID-19 may negatively impact the capabilities of the Funds’ service providers and disrupt the Funds’ operations. This pandemic may result in substantial market volatility and may adversely impact the prices and liquidity of a Fund’s investments. Management continues to monitor and evaluate this situation.
Subsequent Events
The Funds evaluated events from December 31, 2021 through the date that these financial statements were issued. There were no subsequent events to report that would have a material impact on the Funds’ financial statements.

Trustee Approval of Investment Advisory Agreement
Renewal of Management Agreement for All Funds
The Board of Trustees of Diamond Hill Funds (the “Trust”) requested and the Adviser provided a broad range of information in connection with its consideration of the continuance of the Amended and Restated Investment Management Agreement (“Management Agreement”) between the Trust and Diamond Hill Capital Management, Inc. (the “Adviser”), for each series of the Trust (each separately, a “Fund”). In approving the Management Agreement of the Trust, the Board considered a variety of factors, including those discussed below. The Board also considered other factors (including conditions and trends prevailing generally in the economy, the securities markets, and the industry) and did not treat any single factor as determinative, and each Trustee may have attributed different weights to different factors. The Board based its conclusions in part on its consideration of the advisory arrangements in prior years and the Board’s ongoing regular review of fund performance and operations throughout the year. The Board reviewed the information at regularly scheduled meetings on July 20, 2021, and August 19, 2021, and by unanimous vote approved continuation of the Management Agreement. In concluding to renew the Management Agreement, the Board discussed the following factors, on a Fund-by-Fund basis:
a) | Nature, Extent and Quality of Services. In considering the nature, extent, and quality of services provided by the Adviser to the Trust, the Board reviewed information provided by the Adviser relating to its operations and personnel, descriptions of its organizational and management structure, and information regarding the Adviser’s compliance and regulatory history, including its Form ADV. The Trustees considered the nature, extent and quality of the services provided by the Adviser under the Management Agreement, including a review of the services provided thereunder and the Adviser’s overall |
DIAMOND HILL FUNDS | ANNUAL REPORT | DECEMBER 31, 2021 | DIAMOND-HILL.COM 141 |

reputation, integrity, and mission to serve its clients through a disciplined intrinsic-value-based approach to investment that aligns the Adviser’s interests with those of its clients. The Trustees noted the qualifications of the investment staff and other key personnel of the Adviser and that the Adviser continues to invest significant resources in human capital to attract and retain top talent. The Trustees also reviewed the Adviser’s succession plan for key investment and management staff. In addition, the Trustees reviewed information related to the compensation structure for portfolio managers and other key investment personnel. Finally, the Trustees noted that the Adviser provides administrative services to the Trust under an Amended and Restated Administrative, Fund Accounting and Transfer Agency Services Agreement (“Administration Agreement”).
b) | Investment Performance of the Funds. In evaluating the performance of each Fund, the Board receives detailed performance information for each Fund and reviews it at its regularly scheduled meetings. In connection with the consideration of the advisory agreement, the Trustees reviewed each Fund’s absolute performance, performance relative to its passive benchmark, performance relative to a custom peer group, and performance relative to the Fund’s Morningstar category, each as of June 30, 2021. The Trustees concluded that the performance of each Fund is being monitored and reasonably addressed, where appropriate. |
c) | Reasonableness of Investment Advisory Fees. The Trustees noted that the contractual fee rate for each Fund under the Management Agreement was in line with or below the average and median rates of the applicable Fund’s Morningstar category. |
d) | Reasonableness of Total Expenses. The Trustees noted that with exception of two Funds, the total expenses for Class I and Class Y shares of all Funds were at or below the median total expenses of comparable funds within each Fund’s applicable Morningstar category. The total expenses for those two Funds were within 4 basis points of the median total expenses of comparable funds. As it relates to Investor Class, the total expenses are at or below the median total expenses of comparable funds with the applicable Fund’s Morningstar category for all except Short Duration Securitized Bond Fund, which was 8 basis points higher. Except for the Short Duration Securitized Bond Fund, the total expense ratio for the Investor shares, Class I and Class Y shares for all Funds is below the 50th percentile of the Morningstar peer group. |
e) | Reasonableness of Investment Advisory Fees as Compared to Fees Charged to Other Clients. The Trustees reviewed the fees paid by each of the Adviser’s other clients, as well as a summary of the differences in services provided and how these differences affect fees, including the difference between serving as an adviser versus a sub-adviser. With limited exceptions, the Trustees observed that the investment advisory fees charged by the Adviser to the Funds were comparable to the investment advisory fees the Adviser charges its other similarly managed accounts (i.e., separately managed accounts). |
f) | Profitability. The Trustees considered each Fund’s profitability to the Adviser and the Adviser’s methodology for calculating its profitability. The Trustees observed that the Adviser’s pre-tax profit margin under the Management Agreement represented a fair and entrepreneurial profit for managing the Funds. The Trustees discussed that the Adviser is also the administrator to the Funds and the Trustees reviewed a separate profitability |

analysis relating to the administrative services provided to the Funds. The Trustees noted that the profit margin under the Administration Agreement represented a fair and entrepreneurial profit for serving as administrator to the Funds.
g) | Economies of Scale. The Trustees reviewed the potential extent to which economies of scale would be realized as each Fund grows and whether fee levels reflect these economies of scale for the benefit of Fund shareholders. They noted that while many advisory firms reduce fees as assets under management increase with predetermined break points, the Adviser has adopted a different strategy. The Trustees considered that rather than instituting break points, the Adviser has targeted its advisory fees to correspond to its mission to add value, meaning that rather than charging a lower fee on assets above a certain level, the Adviser prefers to close a strategy to new investors so that it can efficiently manage the Fund’s assets and attempt to fulfill its responsibility to add value to existing investors. The Trustees noted that two of the Funds currently are closed to most new investors. The Trustees also noted that the Adviser has a history of voluntarily reducing its fees under the Administration Agreement when asset growth allows for the sharing of economies of scale, with the most recent reduction having taken place on February 28, 2018. |
h) | Ancillary Benefits. The Trustees considered ancillary benefits received by the Adviser as a result of its relationship with the Funds, including the ability to negotiate favorable commissions rates and have access to research that benefits all of the Adviser’s clients and the ability to serve as sub-adviser to other mutual funds. The Trustees noted that as administrator to the Funds the Adviser is expected to earn fees from the Funds for providing administrative services. The fees were shown separately in the profitability analysis presented to the Trustees. |
In their deliberations, there was a comprehensive consideration of each of the factors above in connection with each Fund, and the Trustees, all of whom qualify as Independent Trustees under the 1940 Act, concluded the compensation to be received by the Adviser from each Fund was fair and reasonable and the continuance of the Management Agreement for all of the Funds was in the best interests of each Fund and its shareholders.

Schedule of Shareholder Expenses
Hypothetical Example of a $1,000 Investment at Beginning of Period
(Unaudited)
As a Fund shareholder, you may incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including wire redemption fees and sales charges (loads) as applicable; and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees; distribution and service (12b-1) fees; and other Fund expenses. These examples are intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in a Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds. Please note that the expenses shown in the tables are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transactional costs or other fees that may apply, such as sales charges and fees for low balance accounts. Therefore, the examples are useful in comparing ongoing costs only and will not help you determine the relative total cost of owning different funds. In addition, if these transactional costs and other fees were included, your costs would have been higher.
These examples are based on an investment of $1,000 invested at July 1, 2021 and held for the entire period from July 1, 2021 through December 31, 2021.
The Actual Expense example below provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use this information, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the table under the heading entitled “Expenses paid during the period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.
The Hypothetical Expense example below provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on each Fund’s actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not each Fund’s actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in this Fund and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds.

3(a)(2) The audit committee financial experts are Ms. Tamara L. Fagely and Jody T. Foster, who are "independent" for purposes of this Item 3 of Form N-CSR.
Item 4. Principal Accountant Fees and Services.
(a) Audit Fees. Audit fees totaled $152,788 and $180,500 in fiscal 2021 and 2020, respectively. 2021 and 2020 fees include fees associated with the annual audit and filings of the registrant's Form N-1A and Form N-CEN.

(c) Tax Fees. Fees for tax compliance services totaled $45,000 and $63,000 in fiscal 2021 and 2020, respectively.
(d) All Other Fees. All other fees totaled $1,164 and $0 in fiscal 2021 and 2020, respectively.
(e)(1) Audit Committee Pre-Approval Policies. The Audit Committee's pre-approval policies describe the types of audit, audit-related, tax and other services that may receive the general pre-approval of the Audit Committee. The pre-approval policies provide that annual audit service fees, tax services not specifically granted pre-approval, services exceeding pre-approved cost levels and other services that have not received general pre-approval will be subject to specific pre-approval by the Audit Committee. The pre-approval policies further provide that the Committee may grant general pre-approval to other audit services (statutory audits and services associated with SEC registration statements, periodic reports and other documents filed with the SEC or other documents issued in connection with securities offerings), audit-related services (accounting consultations related to accounting, financial reporting or disclosure matters not classified as "audit services," assistance with understanding and implementing new accounting and financial reporting guidance from rulemaking authorities, agreed-upon or expanded audit procedures related to accounting and/or billing records required to respond to or comply with financial, accounting or regulatory reporting matters and assistance with internal control reporting requirements under Form N-CEN and Form N-CSR), tax services that have historically been provided by the auditor that the Committee believes would not impair the independence of the auditor and are consistent with the SEC's rules on auditor independence and permissible non-audit services classified as "all other services" that are routine and recurring services.
(e)(2) All of the services described in paragraphs (b) through (d) of Item 4 were approved by the Audit Committee.
(f) During the audit of registrant's financial statements for the most recent fiscal year, less than 50 percent of the hours expended on the principal accountant's engagement were attributed to work performed by persons other than the principal accountant's full-time, permanent employee.
(g) The aggregate non-audit fees for services to the registrant, its investment adviser and any entity controlling, controlled by, or under common control with the adviser that provides ongoing services to the registrant were $21,750 and $0 in 2021 and 2020, respectively.
(h) The registrant's audit committee of the board of trustees has considered whether the provision of non-audit services that were rendered to the registrant's investment adviser (not including any sub-adviser whose role is primarily portfolio management and is subcontracted with or overseen by another investment adviser), and any entity adviser that provides ongoing services to the registrant that were not pre-approved pursuant to paragraph (c)(7)(ii) of Rule 2-01 of Regulation S-X is compatible with maintaining the principal accountant's independence.
