Our shared investment principles
Active, fundamental approach
An active, research-driven approach that capitalizes on our intellectual curiosity and unique insights is essential to deliver better returns than benchmarks or peers.
Ownership
Investing with an ownership mentality requires deep due diligence to build the conviction needed to invest over the long term.
Long term
Focusing on the long term allows us to look beyond near-term noise, allowing clients to realize the benefits of our deep, disciplined research process.
Valuation discipline
We believe the best way to compound returns is to take an ownership stake in an investment at a discount to its underlying value and have the discipline to wait for that value to be realized.
Strategic capacity management
Prudent capacity management protects our ability to generate competitive long-term investment results for our clients.

Management Discussion of Fund Performance (Unaudited) |
Investing Environment
Global Equities
Global stocks bounced more than 9% (in USD terms as measured by the MSCI ACWI ex USA Index) in the final quarter of 2022, bringing year-to-date losses to -18% to conclude stocks’ worst year since the 2008 financial crisis. Given the strength in the US dollar relative to global currencies in 2022, USD-based investors experienced a greater decline as global stocks fell -15.6% in local terms. Developed markets ended the year down -18%, while emerging markets posted a -20% decline (in USD terms).
US stocks bounced just over 7% in the final quarter of 2022 (as measured by the Russell 3000 Index), bringing year-to-date losses to -19%. Mid-cap stocks held up the best in 2022, with a -17% decline, while large-cap stocks fell -19% and small-cap stocks fell -20% (as measured by the Russell indices). From a style perspective, value outperformed growth handily across the cap spectrum. The Russell 1000 Value Index fell -7%, while the Russell 1000 Growth Index declined nearly -30%. Meanwhile, the Russell Midcap Value Index was down -12% and its growth counterpart fell nearly -27%; the Russell 2000 Value Index lost -14% in 2022, while the Russell 2000 Growth Index posted a -26% decline.
Market action in the US for much of 2022, seemed heavily predicated on investors’ reading of the Federal Reserve (Fed) tea leaves — with any sign there may soon be reason for easing often accompanied by a market rally. Though December’s inflation reading — which, at 7.1% year over year, was the coolest it’s been since December 2021 — may have offered reason for such optimism, Fed Chairman Jerome Powell has not indicated he foresees rate cuts in 2023, nor have the major global central bank heads, including the European Central Bank’s Christine Lagarde. On the contrary, rates are expected to rise globally, albeit at a slower pace, in 2023.
In Europe, inflation, high energy prices and supply-chain challenges continued to cloud the economic environment and outlook. The European Central Bank reiterated its commitment to increasing rates as inflation remains high and is expected to stay elevated for some time. The Bank of England stated that it believes the UK is already in a recession that could last for a while. By many measures (employment, manufacturing, corporate profit growth, etc.), several major global economies seem healthy — but central banks’ determination to wrangle inflation could result in (or even require) overtightening and prompt recessions in the year ahead. Ideally, relative economic health will make any such recessions both short-lived and shallow.
2022’s disappointing market returns broadened the opportunity set for long term-focused investors able to identify compelling investments. Our dedicated focus on a five-year time horizon allows us to see beyond short-term volatility — both economic and market — and help position our clients to capitalize on dislocations like those introduced by 2022.
US Fixed Income
The most difficult year in the history of fixed income markets has ended — thankfully, with the markets closing out the year with some strength in Q4, the only quarter of positive returns in 2022. This brief period of relief in a turbulent year could not keep the fixed income markets
2 DIAMOND HILL FUNDS | ANNUAL REPORT | DECEMBER 31, 2022 | DIAMOND-HILL.COM |
from posting the worst annual performance (-13.01% for the Bloomberg US Aggregate Bond Index) since the index’s inception in the early 1970s. Prior to this year, the worst calendar year performance was a loss of -2.92% in 1994.
The continued pressure on interest rates and spreads brought to light the stark reality that many may have forgotten: Bonds contain an inherent sensitivity to interest rate fluctuation, and the dramatic and consistent move higher in rates throughout the year brought unprecedented volatility.
Since the beginning of quantitative easing (2008) through the beginning of the current rate hiking cycle (March 2022), the average yield on the Bloomberg US Aggregate Bond Index was 2.63%, which trended higher as we approached the Federal Open Market Committee’s (FOMC) point of rate liftoff. Over the same period, the duration (bond/index sensitivity to interest rate movements) of the index continued to extend, from 4.33 years at the end of 2007 to 6.53 years on the day of the first FOMC rate hike (16 March 2022). This meant that investment grade fixed income was set for a perfect storm — low yields and peak duration levels — and what a storm it was. But now we are (hopefully) emerging from the worst of it, with higher interest rates and expectations for the Fed to slowly apply the brakes on this rate hiking cycle, which we saw in December as the FOMC dropped from a 75 basis points (bps) pace in the prior meetings to 50 bps.
But from the destruction of wealth that occurred in 2022 comes the opportunity to bring back some stability to the markets. If, as the Fed has indicated, we are much closer to the end of this rate hiking cycle, then fixed income should be well positioned to return to its place within an overall asset allocation as the ballast that provides an offset to the historic volatility of the overall markets. This isn’t to say that 2023 is going to be roses and unicorns, simply that the higher yield derived from investment grade fixed income is in its best position in years to mitigate any continued interest rate volatility going forward.

Diamond Hill Short Duration Securitized Bond Fund |
Performance Discussion
The portfolio outperformed the Bloomberg US 1-3 Year Government/Credit Index in 2022. Fueled by the meteoric rise in short-term rates beginning in March and continuing through the end of 2022, the fixed income market experienced its most challenging year in history. The portfolio was able to offset the impact of rising rates by generating significant carry relative to the benchmark throughout the year.
The portfolio’s underweight to both the corporate and Treasury sectors contributed positively to performance as the shorter end of these sectors experienced a challenging environment. The portfolio’s overweight to the securitized sector held up well relative to the other sectors mentioned due to shorter overall duration as well as a significant yield advantage. Within the securitized market, credit card asset-backed securities (ABS) and small business ABS delivered the best relative return during the calendar year. Non-agency residential mortgage-backed securities (RMBS) detracted from performance as their longer duration felt the impact of rising rates more than shorter duration alternatives in the securitized market.
Fund Changes
The portfolio’s allocation to Treasury debt rose during the year and its allocation to corporate debt was relatively steady. A slight decrease in exposure to ABS reflects opportunities found in other areas of the market, such as commercial mortgage-backed securities (CMBS) and non-agency RMBS rather than any concerns regarding ABS. The portfolio’s yield continued to increase throughout the year, reflecting action in the Treasury market as rates across the curve climbed, while the portfolio’s duration held steady in the 1.3 to 1.4 years range.

Diamond Hill Core Bond Fund |
Performance Discussion
The portfolio has always been managed with a goal of generating excess returns relative to the Bloomberg US Aggregate Bond Index while working to protect against downside. Calendar year 2022 provided the perfect litmus test for our investment process — it was the worst year for investment grade fixed income in history as the Federal Reserve’s (Fed) aggressive tightening of interest rates combined with spread tightening pushed yields higher and bond prices lower.
Duration positioning during the year was a two-fold story — the portfolio benefitted during the first nine months of the year as the shorter duration posture helped mitigate the negative impact of rising rates, while duration was a hindrance in the final quarter as rates tightened and expectations grew for the Fed to slow or stop rate hikes. Portfolio duration is managed to a range of plus or minus 10% of the benchmark’s duration, but the historic shift in rates exacerbated the impact to the portfolio.
An underweight position relative to the benchmark in the credit sector as well as security selection — the result of our bottom-up approach — and portfolio construction contributed positively to relative performance during the year. The portfolio’s overweight to the securitized sector also contributed positively to relative performance in 2022, fueled by security selection in the asset-backed securities (ABS) sector as well as the portfolio’s allocation to non-agency commercial mortgage-backed securities (CMBS).
Within the ABS sector, allocations to non-benchmark market segments such as small business and unsecured consumer ABS were additive. The portfolio’s differentiation in the residential mortgage-backed securities (RMBS) market — achieved through investments in collateralized mortgage obligations in lieu of plain vanilla pass-through mortgages — essentially matched the benchmark’s performance in this sector but provided protection from duration extension as rates continued to rise throughout the year. The portfolio’s underweight to the Treasury sector contributed positively to performance as Treasuries felt the impact of the historic shift higher in rates.
Fund Changes
Sector changes to the portfolio are based on an investment philosophy focused on bottom-up security selection. The duration positioning (sensitivity to interest rate fluctuations) relative to the benchmark remained at the lower end of the +/- 10% range (vs. benchmark) due to the uncertain trajectory of rates throughout the year. Sector allocations in the portfolio remained steady over the year, reflecting the focus on security selection and our bottom-up investment philosophy.
The strategy experienced significant net inflows throughout the year and the deployment of those assets resulted in increases in various sectors such as agency and non-agency RMBS and CMBS. The allocation of cash to these sectors resulted in a decline in exposure to other sectors, not through active liquidation but due to incremental dollars being deployed in attractive sectors. The portfolio’s allocation to investment grade credit held steady year over year with marginal movement throughout 2022.

Organization
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 Select Fund (“Select Fund”) (formerly Diamond Hill 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 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.”
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, 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 net asset value (“NAV”) per share as of February 22, 2021. 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.
Regulatory Update
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. Management is currently actively working with other financial institutions and counterparties to modify contracts as required by applicable regulation and within the regulatory deadlines.
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
124 DIAMOND HILL FUNDS | ANNUAL REPORT | DECEMBER 31, 2022 | DIAMOND-HILL.COM |
Diamond Hill Funds
Notes to Financial Statements (Continued)
December 31, 2022
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 adviser’s Valuation & Liquidity Committee. In these cases, the adviser’s 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

Diamond Hill Funds
Notes to Financial Statements (Continued)
December 31, 2022
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, 2022:

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 a Fund does not own in hope of
DIAMOND HILL FUNDS | ANNUAL REPORT | DECEMBER 31, 2022 | DIAMOND-HILL.COM 127 |

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, 2022, 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, 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 redemptions in-kind. 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 (Accumulated Deficit) | |
Small Cap Fund | | $ | 31,596,978 | | | $ | (31,596,978 | ) |

In-Kind Redemption Transactions
During the year ended December 31, 2022, Small Cap Fund, Small-Mid Cap Fund, Mid Cap Fund, Large Cap Fund and Select Fund realized $2,023,791, $1,486,602, $1,047,816, $89,816,969 and $3,029,507, respectively, of net capital gains resulting from in-kind redemptions (redemptions in which shareholders who redeemed Fund shares received investment securities held by a Fund rather than cash). The Funds recognize 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 Funds and are not required to be distributed to shareholders. The Funds have reclassified these amounts 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 Funds’ 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, 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, 2023, unless extended, when any advances are to be repaid. During the year ended December 31, 2022, no amounts were drawn from the available line.

December 31, 2022
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 any one 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, 2022, 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, 2022 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 other than the following:
On February 28, 2023, the Diamond Hill All Cap Select Fund changed its name to the Diamond Hill Select Fund.

Report of Independent Registered
Public Accounting Firm (Continued)
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement whether due to error or fraud.
Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of December 31, 2022, by correspondence with the custodian and brokers; when replies were not received from brokers, we performed other auditing procedures. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
We have served as the auditor of one or more funds advised by Diamond Hill Capital Management, Inc. since 2015.

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 19, 2022, and August 18, 2022, 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 reputation, integrity, and mission to serve its clients through a disciplined intrinsic-value- |

based approach to investment. 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, 2022. 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 median rates of the applicable Fund’s Morningstar category. |
d) | Reasonableness of Total Expenses. The Trustees noted that with exception of one Fund, the total expenses for Investor Class, 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 Short Duration Securitized Bond Fund was within 6, 4 and 1 basis points for Investor Class, Class I and Class Y, respectively, of the median total expenses of comparable funds. 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 at or 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. |

December 31, 2022 (Continued)
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. While many advisory firms reduce fees as assets under management increase with predetermined break points, the Adviser has adopted a different strategy. 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. Two of the Funds currently are closed to most new investors. |
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, 2022 and held for the entire period from July 1, 2022 through December 31, 2022.
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.

Item 4. Principal Accountant Fees and Services.
(a) Audit Fees. Audit fees totaled $160,000 and $152,788 in fiscal 2022 and 2021, respectively. 2022 and 2021 fees include fees associated with the annual audit and filings of the registrant’s Form N-1A and Form N-CEN.

(d) All Other Fees. All other fees totaled $0 and $1,164 in fiscal 2022 and 2021, 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 $31,000 and $21,750 in 2022 and 2021, 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.
