International investing involves certain risks and increased volatility not associated with investing solely in the US. These risks include currency fluctuations, economic or financial instability, lack of timely or reliable financial information or unfavorable political or legal developments. The Funds may invest in securities issued by smaller companies, which typically involves greater risk than investing in larger companies. Also, the Funds may invest in limited geographic areas and/or sectors which may result in greater market volatility. This risk is heightened in investments in emerging markets. In addition some of the Funds may invest in derivatives. Derivatives involve special risks different from, and potentially greater than, the risks associated with investing directly in securities and may result in greater losses.
The All Asset Fund invests in a smaller number of securities than the average mutual fund and the change in value of a single holding may have a more pronounced effect on the Fund’s net asset value and performance. The Fund may invest in derivatives and commodities. Investing in commodities entails additional risks including instability regarding control and jurisdiction of governments, international companies and other entities. Asset allocation strategies do not assure profit nor protect against loss. The Fund may be subject to frequent trading which may result in a turnover rate of 100% or more. The Fund is subject to investment company and pooled vehicles risk, allocation risk, leverage risk, interest rate risk and high yield securities risk. An investment in pooled vehicles, including closed-end funds, trusts, and exchange-traded funds (“ETFs”), may involve paying a premium at the time of purchase or receiving a discounted price at the time of sale. The Fund (and indirectly its shareholders) is responsible for a proportional share of the underlying investment company’s expenses, in addition to its own. Investments in high yield securities may offer more attractive returns than higher-rated securities, but the potentially higher yield is a function of the greater risk that a particular security may default.
The Dividend & Income Builder Fund invests in a smaller number of securities than the average mutual fund and the change in value of a single holding may have a more pronounced effect on the Fund’s net asset value and performance. The Fund may invest in illiquid securities and is subject to investment company and pooled vehicles risk, interest rate risk, credit/default risk and high yield securities risk. An investment in pooled vehicles, including closed-end funds, trusts, and ETFs, may involve paying a premium at the time of purchase or receiving a discounted price at the time of sale. The Fund (and indirectly its shareholders) is responsible for a proportional share of the underlying investment company’s expenses, in addition to its own. The Fund’s share price and yield will be affected by interest rate movements, with bond prices generally moving in the opposite direction from interest rates. During periods of rising interest rates, the value of a bond investment is at greater risk than during periods of stable or falling rates. The Fund may be subject to frequent trading which may result in a turnover rate of 100% or more. Credit risk refers to the bond issuer’s ability to make timely payments of principal and interest. Investments in high yield securities may offer more attractive returns than higher-rated securities, but the potentially higher yield is a function of the greater risk that a particular security may default.
The High Yield Opportunities Fund and Unconstrained Bond Fund may invest in illiquid securities and are subject to investment company risk, interest rate risk, credit/default risk and high yield securities risk. Credit risk refers to a bond issuers’ ability to make timely payments of principal and interest. Investments in high yield securities may increase the risk that a particular security may default. The Funds’ share price and yield will be affected by interest rate movements, as the value of bond investments as well as mortgage and asset backed securities are at greater risk during periods of rising interest rates than during periods of stable or falling rates. Also impact of prepayments on the value of asset backed securities may be difficult to predict. The Funds may be subject to frequent trading which may result in a turnover rate of 100% or more. The Funds may employ leverage and bank borrowings to increase the amount of the Funds’ investments, which may result in increased volatility of returns with the possibility of increased net income and capital gains as well as an exaggerated risk of loss. Unsecured bank loans may not provide the Funds with payment of principal, interest, and other amounts due. Loans or securities that are part of highly leveraged transactions involve a greater risk (including default and bankruptcy) than other investments. The Funds may invest in a smaller number of securities than the average mutual fund and the change in value of a single holding may have a more pronounced effect on the Funds’ net asset value and performance.
Technology companies may react similarly to certain market pressure and events. This may be significantly affected by short product cycles, aggressive pricing of products and services, competition from new market entrants, and obsolescence of existing technology. As a result, the Global Technology Fund’s returns may be considerably more volatile than a fund that does not invest in technology companies.
The Strategic Income Fund invests in high yield, lower rated (junk) bonds which involve a greater degree of risk than investment grade bonds in return for higher yield potential. As such, securities rated below investment grade generally entail greater credit, market, issuer and liquidity risk than investment grade securities. Moreover, the Fund is subject to interest rate risk which is the risk that debt securities in the Fund’s portfolio will decline in value because of increases in market interest rates. The Fund may borrow money which may affect the return to shareholders of the Fund, also known as leverage risk.
The views in this report were those of the Funds’ Portfolio Managers as of January 31, 2014, and may not reflect the views of the Portfolio Managers on the date this report is first published or anytime thereafter.

Dear shareholder,
We are pleased to provide the Semi-Annual report for the Henderson Global Funds, which covers the six months ended January 31, 2014.
The global economy ended 2013 on a strong note, with global purchasing managers’ indices (PMIs) signaling a steady acceleration in growth. Business activity increased in Europe for a fifth consecutive month in December, and Japanese inflation figures gave hope that Japan was finally exiting an extended deflationary period. PMI releases for Japan also pointed to the fastest manufacturing growth in more than seven years.
However, markets had a poor start to 2014 as concerns about Emerging Markets (EM) led investors to reduce their risk appetite and seek safe haven assets. January was a particularly bleak month for EM equities, which posted their fifth worst monthly performance since 1988. Developed Markets fared better but they were not immune to the sell-down. Asian equities suffered most from Chinese slowdown fears, but pockets of Europe outperformed as investors reappraised Spain, Portugal, Italy and Ireland as their borrowing costs fell in the bond markets.
In January, the US Federal Reserve decided to further reduce its monthly bond purchases by $10 billion to $65 billion, which caused volatility across EM equities, bonds and currencies, resulting in outflows from EM assets and the depreciation of their currencies. In China, manufacturing appeared to have contracted for the first time in six months – the HSBC/Markit manufacturing Purchasing Managers’ Index fell from 50.5 in December to 49.5 in January (a reading of below 50 indicates sector contraction).
Europe’s recovery remains fragile and deflation is still a risk, but there is scope for positive surprises from the region. The Eurozone Composite PMI rose to 52.9 in January, while the unemployment rate remained at 12% for a third month in December. The UK economy grew more strongly than expected in the last months of 2013, resulting in GDP expanding 1.9% over the year, its fastest pace since 2007.
Overall, despite January’s pullback, economic data globally has been improving and business and consumer sentiment indicators are also upbeat. Investors are adjusting to the pace of the withdrawal of US stimulus, and the return to fundamentals-based investing may be a choppy process. Further tapering activity may be very data-dependent, so markets could be volatile around important data releases that prove contrary to expectations. At Henderson, we believe that these conditions create many stock-specific opportunities for “bottom-up” investors to add value.
We are pleased to report that we launched the Henderson Unconstrained Bond Fund (HUNAX, HUNCX, HUNIX) on December 20, 2013. The Unconstrained Bond Fund is a core bond product that aims to provide a balance between investors’ need for yield and capital preservation. The Fund primarily invests in global fixed income securities and leverages opportunities from both rising and falling markets while actively managing risk exposure with the use of derivatives. The Fund’s unconstrained approach allows it to invest in opportunities across the entire bond universe.
We believe that this Fund is a key addition to the Henderson Global Funds family as we seek to provide you with further options to diversify your portfolios with funds that are truly differentiated from the competition. We appreciate your trust in and support of our Funds, and we look forward to serving your financial needs in the years to come.

All Asset Fund
Risk assets rallied in the second half of 2013 as the market appeared to be more comfortable that the US economic recovery had become robust enough to withstand the removal of liquidity, and that policy is being correctly tempered to the strength of the available macroeconomic data. The US Federal Reserve’s (Fed) forward guidance continues to play a key role in managing expectations about a rise in interest rates, which the US central bank is keen to disassociate from the projected end of quantitative easing; it continues to modify its rhetoric saying that it will now likely hold interest rates at near zero beyond the US unemployment rate falling below its 6.5% threshold.
The measureable signs of recovery are not limited to the US; the world economy entered 2014 on an upswing as the impact of private sector deleveraging and fiscal drag recedes in the major countries and stimulus measures gain traction. G10 growth looks set to be the strongest since 2010 and the broadest as well, with all 10 economies predicted to expand. Despite this, inflation is expected to remain subdued, due to the unusually high levels of unemployment and spare capacity in the developed world.
However, risk assets had a poor start to 2014 as concerns about Emerging Markets led investors to

reduce their risk appetite and seek safe haven assets. The Fed’s tapering caused significant volatility across Emerging Market equities, bonds and currencies, resulting in outflows from Emerging Market assets and the depreciation of their currencies.
For the reporting period ended January 31, 2014, the Fund returned 2.48% (Class A at NAV) versus the benchmark, 3-month LIBOR USD, which posted a return of 0.14%. With positive economic data coming from the US and Japan, the Fund’s allocation to equities in these countries was very beneficial to performance. Allocations with corporate bond exposure also performed well and added value over the period, though sovereign debt continued to detract.
The Fund’s allocation is shifting from a defensively positioned portfolio to one that reflects our views of a slightly more optimistic macro environment. The Fund reduced its Emerging Market equity and debt exposure positions and invested the proceeds in high yielding equities as the former have been vulnerable to a withdrawal of liquidity. Elsewhere, the Fund has also switched some low beta equity for more cyclicality. The asset allocation of the Fund at the end of the period is overweight equities (preferring UK, Europe, US and Japan, cautious on Asia and Emerging Markets), fixed income underweight (high levels of cash, underweight duration but building a position in Emerging Markets debt), and a small allocation to gold.
The arrival of tapering and strengthened forward guidance has removed a significant portion of the uncertainty that hung over markets in 2013, but we remain in an environment transitioning from liquidity to growth. The continuation or expansion of tapering will be highly data-dependent, so markets will likely experience bouts of volatility around data releases that beat or miss expectations. We retain a cautious outlook on risk assets as markets adjust to an environment with lower liquidity. Given this outlook, we favor equities and are cautious on duration assets, preferring cash over bonds.

Performance data quoted represents past performance and is no guarantee of future results. Performance results with sales charges reflect the deduction of the maximum front-end sales charge or the deduction of the applicable contingent deferred sales charge (“CDSC”). Class A shares are subject to a maximum front-end sales charge of 5.75%. Class C shares are subject to a CDSC of up to 1% on certain redemptions made within 12 months of purchase. Performance presented at Net Asset Value (NAV), which does not include a sales charge, would be lower if this charge were reflected. NAV is the value of one share of the Fund excluding any sales charges. Current performance may be lower or higher than the performance data quoted. Investment return and principal value will fluctuate so that an investor’s shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than original cost. As stated in the current prospectus, the Fund’s annual operating expense ratios (gross) for Class A, C and I shares are 1.55%, 2.25% and 1.24%, respectively. However, the Fund’s adviser has agreed to contractually waive a portion of its fees and/or reimburse other expenses such that total ordinary operating expenses, less distribution and service fees, do not exceed 0.85%, 1.60% and 0.60% for Class A, C and I shares, respectively, which is in effect until July 31, 2015. With respect to investments in affiliated underlying funds, the Fund’s adviser has contractually agreed to reduce or waive the Fund’s management fee to limit the combined management fees paid to the adviser for those assets to the greater of 1.00% or the affiliated underlying fund’s management fee. Indirect net expenses associated with the Fund’s investments in underlying investment companies are not subject to the contractual waiver.

Dividend & Income Builder Fund
For the majority of 2013 global equity markets performed well. It was another strong year for dividend investors, as global dividends grew 8% with countries such as the US growing dividends at double-digit rates. The US equity market was among the strongest performers globally, as economic data proved resilient such that the Federal Reserve (Fed) had the confidence in December to begin scaling back their $85 billion per month quantitative easing program. This caused US 10-year Treasury yields to breach 3% for the first time since 2011.
Global equity markets fell at the start of 2014. Emerging Markets such as China and Brazil were among the weakest performers globally, as the decision from the Fed to continue gradually withdrawing quantitative easing led to worries of foreign capital outflows, causing currency pressures. In bond markets, government bonds and investment grade bonds rallied strongly while high yield bonds posted positive but lower returns than these other asset classes.
For the reporting period ended January 31, 2014, the Fund returned 6.53% (Class A at NAV) versus the benchmark, MSCI World Index, which posted a return of 7.10%. The Fund also met its income objectives over the period. Performance relative to the benchmark was held back by an underweight

allocation to the US and Japan as well as the Fund’s fixed income allocation, while equities strongly rallied. The Fund made gains in European holdings, particularly in the industrials and consumer discretionary sectors. Among the top equity performers during the period was information service provider Nielsen, which rose following the successful closure of their acquisition of Arbitron, as well as YouTube adopting their online rating service -both of which added to confidence in the sustainability of the business model. Also notable was telecommunications company Vodafone. Following the news in September that they would be selling their 45% Verizon Wireless stake, speculation increased that Vodafone could become a possible acquisition target.
In the equity allocation, the Fund continues to seek companies with both above average yield and dividend growth. In the fixed income allocation, we prefer credit over interest rate risk. The equity allocation remained over 80% of the Fund, reflecting our current bias towards equities over bonds. While corporate earnings growth has remained mixed in recent years, dividend growth has proven more consistent. In comparison to other asset classes such as government or corporate bonds, we believe equity valuations continue to look positive, especially given the prospects for ongoing dividend growth.
As economic growth from areas such as the UK and US accelerate, reports from the corporate sectors are becoming increasingly confident in the outlook for sales and earnings growth, and this has been filtering down into dividend increases for shareholders. For example, Japanese bank Mizuho Financial Group recently announced an 8% dividend increase as a result of stronger than expected earnings growth. Despite significant dividend growth over recent years, global pay-out ratios remain below their long-term average, giving us confidence in the sustainability of dividend payments and the potential for continued dividend growth.

Emerging Markets Opportunities Fund
Throughout 2013, developed market equities strongly outperformed the Emerging Markets. Investors have become increasingly cautious regarding the outlook for a number of Emerging Market economies due to a combination of ‘tapering’ of the US Federal Reserve’s (Fed) quantitative easing, political unrest and currency movements.
Latin America continued to struggle as weaker economic activity in China prompted a sell-off in hard commodities. In addition, US tapering led to further currency depreciation compounded by the devaluation of the Argentine Peso. An interest rate increase by Brazil’s central bank also contributed to poor equity performance. Mexico and Peru outperformed as investors sought markets with a more stable economic growth outlook.
Asia has been hit by renewed fears that the Chinese economy is slowing and concerns over financial vulnerability in other Emerging Markets (South Africa, Turkey, Brazil) will lead to contagion across the region. China was among the worst performing markets after domestic activity data, including the HSBC Flash Purchasing Managers’ Index, suggested economic momentum had eased towards the end of the year. Performance in Korea also remained lackluster as companies continued to suffer from a stronger Won and earnings downgrades, while India

was also weak after the central bank unexpectedly hiked policy rates.
For the reporting period ended January 31, 2014, the Fund returned 0.82% (Class A at NAV) versus the benchmark, MSCI Emerging Markets Index, which posted a return of -0.21%. The most positive relative performance has come from the EMEA (Europe, Middle East, and Africa) sub-portfolio which has benefitted from the diverse nature of its holdings.
The Fund has been defensively positioned for over a year, which has proven to be the correct stance. We have been very mindful of the risks and challenges faced by the Emerging Markets bloc, particularly in regards to US tapering and Chinese growth. Over the period, the Fund increased its allocation to EMEA, pulling away from Latin America and Asia. We believed our unique approach to stock selection in the EMEA region and focus on distinct situations would help the overall portfolio to be more immune to contagion than the other regional sleeves.
The gap between growth in the emerging economies and the developed world has been falling since 2009 and is expected to narrow further this year and next. At this stage, we do not see the catalyst for a reversal in these trends. Policymakers in these economies do not seem to have significant options for regenerating growth. The looming phase out of the Fed’s cheap money will likely continue to lead to capital outflow from Emerging Market countries and weigh on related assets. That said, some countries are better positioned than others to weather reduced monetary stimulus from the US. In particular, countries with sound fundamentals characterized by current account surpluses, significant foreign exchange reserves and healthy corporate leverage are likely to better withstand significant capital outflows. We continue to favor an active approach to investing in the Emerging Markets and seek to find opportunities that are less sensitive to the “herd mentality” and are valued on their own merits.

Performance data quoted represents past performance and is no guarantee of future results. Due to the Fund’s relatively small asset base, performance may be impacted by IPOs to a greater degree than it may be in the future.

European Focus Fund
Improving global economic data underpinned the rally in equities over the majority of the period, with Europe (ex-UK) markets delivering the best returns, further boosted as investors continued to increase their weighting to the region. The European Central Bank (ECB) cut interest rates to 0.25% which was encouraging in light of the intent shown not to let deflation in European economies become established. Toward the end of the year the US Federal Reserve (Fed) decided to start ‘tapering’ the amount of open market bond purchases; in contrast to the initial market reaction in May, investors took the decision as good news choosing to focus on the Fed’s flexible rhetoric and the strength of the global economy rather than the withdrawal of liquidity. However, a number of developments shook market confidence in January and caused a notable swing in sentiment with a broad impact across asset classes and regions – primarily the impact of tapering on Emerging Markets. In addition, concerns over Europe slipping into a deflation trap grew.
For the reporting period ended January 31, 2014, the Fund returned 16.83% (class A at NAV) versus the benchmark, MSCI Europe Index, which posted a return of 9.83%. The overweight exposures to industrials, financials and consumer discretionary drove performance. The investment focus over the period was on increasing exposure to European focused companies which we believed were set to

benefit from European recovery. The increase in exposure to financials was the biggest shift in positioning and a significant contributor to performance. CaixaBank, Commerzbank, Direct Line, BBVA and HSBC were among the leading positions for the Fund. Highlights from the holdings in industrials and consumer discretionary included KION Group, forklift operator; AP Moller-Maersk, shipping conglomerate; Continental, auto parts manufacturer; RTL Group, multi-media and Accor, hotel chain.
Notable purchases included BBVA and HSBC as both had features not fully recognized by investors –namely a stabilizing Spain and sensitivity to steepening yield curves, respectively. Other additions to financials included Commerzbank, a recovery play and Erste Bank Group following a fund raise. Additions in other areas included semiconductor machinery manufacturer ASML Holding, mobile company Nokia, Spanish infrastructure company Tecnicas Reunidas and industrial inspection firm SGS. Market conditions and sector aversion created attractive entry points into resource plays including Lundin Mining Corp and Glencore Xstrata. Recent volatility in Emerging Markets has created selective opportunities in Turkey where the central bank has recently enacted policy action to ensure price stability and currency support. We made small investments in Halk Bankasi and the airline Turk Hava Yollari.
We suspect that the recent pullback is a healthy correction and on deflation, continental Europe is only just showing signs of better economic news. The ECB could develop further policies to stimulate demand and avert deflation if the need arises (they have been vocal in their recognition of the risks). We maintain our view that Europe is under-appreciated and there remains valuation upside, particularly versus the US, and we suspect positive earnings surprises as recovery takes hold. There will undoubtedly be some difficult phases but we believe the overall case remains a good one and offers upside for the portfolio.

Global Equity Income Fund
Global equity markets rose during the second half of 2013, led by the US as economic data proved resilient through a federal government shutdown and the decision by the Federal Reserve (Fed) in December to begin scaling back quantitative easing. Emerging Market equities underperformed, as the beginnings of monetary tightening from the US led to worries of foreign capital outflows and subsequent currency pressure. Investors became nervous in January and equities fell largely as a result of the potential domino effects of contagion from the Emerging Markets. Economic data in the developed markets however continued to strengthen, particularly in the UK and Japan.
For the reporting period ended January 31, 2014, the Fund returned 4.52% (Class A at NAV) versus the benchmark, MSCI World Index, which posted a return of 7.10%. The Fund continued to meet its high income objectives over the period. The Fund’s low weighting in lower yielding areas such as the US led to relative underperformance versus the broader market’s rally. One of the best performers at the stock level was telecommunications company Vodafone following news that they would be selling their 45% Verizon Wireless stake. Also amongst the top performers was Dow Chemical, which is taking steps to reduce its commodity chemicals exposure.

We believe that over time this will increase the predictability of earnings and may result in a higher earnings multiple for the shares.
Toward the end of the period the Fund reduced its US weighting. While we believe the US will continue to perform well, we are finding more value in shares internationally. The Fund increased its weighting in Japan, where dividends are slowly rising and prospects for economic growth are improving. The Fund remained overweight Europe where we see a large valuation gap as a result of the difficulty the region has endured. Many high quality international companies listed in Europe have been trading at significant discounts. Forecasts for economic growth in Europe are stabilizing, and we think the valuation gap can continue to close.
The Fund has broad sector exposure but our favored area right now is financials, such as banks and insurers, where we are finding relatively attractive valuations and dividend yields. In banks, capital ratios have risen and prospects for earnings and dividend growth are improving. The Fund placed a small currency hedge on the Australian dollar. While we are positive on share prices and valuations in Australia we are less keen on the currency. The Fund also has a significant exposure to the pharmaceuticals sector where fundamentals and value still appeal.
As quantitative easing from the Fed is gradually withdrawn during 2014, there will likely be continued short-term volatility in equity markets. However, the reduction of monetary loosening as a result of economic recovery can be a positive for developed market equities as companies have greater potential for sales and earnings growth. In the context of strong corporate balance sheets and improving domestic economies in areas such as the US and UK, we remain comfortable with our positioning in the Fund.

Global Technology Fund
The reporting period was positive for the technology sector as improving economic data underpinned the rally in global equity markets. The Eurozone emerged from its longest ever recession, and economic news from China exceeded expectations; however, Emerging Markets underperformed given rising US yields and equity outflows. Much of the period was dominated by the prospect of the US Federal Reserve (Fed) tapering its quantitative easing program - the decision earlier in the reporting period to delay tapering triggered a rally in equities. However, renewed tapering concerns as well as volatility in Emerging Markets, which had a broad impact across asset classes and regions, caused a sharp pullback to global markets in January.
For the reporting period ended January 31, 2014, the Fund returned 12.96% (Class A at NAV) versus the benchmark, MSCI AC World IT Index, which posted a return of 13.50%. At the sector level, IT services and internet & catalog retail contributed most to the Fund’s performance; however gains were held back by our exposure to software as Citrix, Symantec, Nuance and Cadence Design all underperformed.

a relative basis over the period. Pandora, an internet media company, was the leading performer for the Fund and Cognizant reported strong revenues driven by growth in its healthcare and continental European division. Priceline.com, the largest US online travel agent by market value, performed well after reporting strong quarterly sales and Western Digital, the data storage manufacturer, continued to benefit from less competition in the storage market.
A position in Baidu, a Chinese internet company, was re-established as we began to see evidence of an inflection in its mobile offering. Web.com was added to the portfolio; the web services company has a strong potential market opportunity emanating from increased online consumer spending and an increased shift of marketing spend to online and mobile. Cisco was trimmed on the back of Emerging Market concerns and Netapp was reduced as we became less confident in the stock due to the impact of cloud computing and competition from EMC.
Equity markets rallied strongly driven by better macroeconomic data and very strong inflows despite lackluster sales and overall earnings growth. At some stage, earnings will need to start surprising on the upside in order to sustain upward momentum. US and European demand does seem to be getting better while events in January highlight that Emerging Market economies continue to be the major risk in failing to keep the party going.
We believe our overall bias towards companies with strong barriers to entry should cushion the portfolio from macroeconomic volatility. Our valuation-aware process focuses on underappreciated areas of secular growth that offer strong returns over the long-term. The Fund remains biased to our preferred themes of E-Commerce, Online Advertising, Rational Commodities, Connectivity and Paperless Payment.

High Yield Opportunities Fund
The high yield market posted a strong return over the period and outperformed most other segments of fixed income including leveraged loans, investment grade corporate bonds, US Treasuries and Emerging Markets corporate and sovereign bonds. Due to the sharp rally in risk assets prevalent throughout most of the period, save for the January pullback, high yield bonds underperformed equities as well as credit default swap indices. The prevailing environment for high yield bonds is favorable by many measures including valuation. New issuance was $33 billion following $25 billion in December and $25 billion in November. For the full year of 2013, new issuance of $398 billion broke the previous record set in 2012 of $368 billion.

High Yield Master II Constrained Index, which posted a return of 4.65%. Credit selection drove the alpha and was boosted by positive sector allocation, low levels of cash and the absence of bank loans. The Fund’s positioning along the credit ratings curve aided relative performance due to the overweight position in triple-C and single-B rated bonds and underweight in double-B rated bonds. The best performers were Calumet (refining), Swift Energy (oil and gas), Ally Financial (banking), Garda World Security (services) and Pittsburgh Glassworks (auto parts). The worst performers were Claire’s Stores (retail), Advanced Micro Devices (technology) and Emerson (technology).
The only major change to the sector weightings in the Fund was a continued relative reduction in our exploration and production (energy) holdings due to relative valuation. We have maintained our overweight exposure to lower quality single-B and higher quality triple-C sectors which has been beneficial to performance versus the benchmark and peer group.
Credit fundamentals remain positive and most of the companies that we follow have taken advantage of the easy new issuance market to address any lingering liquidity concerns. As a result, we estimate that default rates will remain low, yet secondary market liquidity will remain challenging. Our main focus during 2014 will be scrutinizing new issues as we are starting to see a reversion to deteriorating credit trends in the new issue calendar as it relates to use of proceeds, covenants, leverage and valuation.

Performance data quoted represents past performance and is no guarantee of future results. Due to the Fund’s relatively small asset base, performance may be impacted by portfolio turnover to a greater degree than it may be in the future. The Fund’s portfolio turnover rate may not be as high in the future. Performance results with sales charges reflect the deduction of the maximum front-end sales charge or the deduction of the applicable contingent deferred sales charge (“CDSC”). Class A shares are subject to a maximum front-end sales charge of 4.75%. Class C shares are subject to a CDSC of up to 1% on certain redemptions made within 12 months of purchase. Performance presented at Net Asset Value (NAV), which does not include a sales charge, would be lower if this charge were reflected. NAV is the value of one share of the Fund excluding any sales charges. Current performance may be lower or higher than the performance data quoted. Investment return and principal value will fluctuate so that an investor’s shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than original cost. As stated in the current prospectus, the Fund’s annual operating expense ratios (gross) for Class A, C and I shares are 2.83%, 3.64% and 1.83%, respectively. However, the Fund’s adviser has agreed to contractually waive a portion of its fees and/or reimburse other expenses such that total ordinary operating expenses, less distribution and service fees, do not exceed 1.10%, 1.85% and 0.85% for Class A, C and I shares, respectively, which is in effect until July 31, 2020. For the most recent month-end performance, please call 1.866.443.6337 or visit the Funds’ website at www.henderson.com.
Performance results also reflect expense subsidies and waivers in effect during periods shown. Absent these waivers, results would have been less favorable. All results assume the reinvestment of dividends and capital gains.

International Opportunities Fund
As a result of encouraging economic data, global equity markets rose for the majority of the reporting period. Investor confidence within Europe continued as investors increased their weighting to the region and the European Central Bank (ECB) cut interest rates to 0.25%. The two main reasons behind the ECB’s decision was the recent appreciation of the Euro and a significant decline in the inflation rate. In Japan, confidence grew that the policies brought in by Prime Minister Abe will lead to a sustained period of economic growth. Toward the end of the year, the Federal Reserve (Fed) decided to start tapering the amount of open market bond purchases; in contrast to the initial market reaction in May, investors took the decision as good news, choosing to focus on the Fed’s flexible rhetoric and the strength of the global economy rather than the withdrawal of liquidity. However, renewed tapering concerns coincided with a return of volatility in Emerging Markets (which had a broad impact across asset classes and regions) and caused a sharp pullback to global markets in January. Asia and Emerging Markets were the key areas affected by China and the Fed’s decision to taper.
For the reporting period ended January 31, 2014, the Fund returned 9.92% (class A at NAV) versus the MSCI EAFE Index, which posted a return of 7.60%, with only the Latin American sub-portfolio

underperforming in the 6-month period in absolute terms. Returns from the Pan-European sub-portfolio drove performance as industrial and consumer discretionary stocks particularly benefitted from the recovery rally in Europe. International Consolidated Airlines Group, Continental, A.P. Moller-Maersk and Deutsche Post were among the leading performers for the Fund.
The Fund made a small allocation shift from the Pan-European sub-portfolio to the Japan sub-portfolio, which moved the Japan weight close to 20% of the Fund. Although this weighting is a bit light versus the index weighting of around 21%, we feel the huge political will and reform agenda in Japan makes the region the biggest area of potential during 2014 and we increased our allocation accordingly. Notable purchases in the Japan sub-portfolio included construction firm Sekisui house and automotive manufacturer Toyota Motors. Electronic payment solutions company Cielo was added to the Latin America sub-portfolio and the Pan-European sub-portfolio bought a stake in Richemont, the manufacturer and retailer of luxury goods.
Whether the current correction in equity markets proves to be just a pause before prices head higher, or the anticipated tapering in the US heralds more challenging times ahead for equities is unclear. However, stock prices retreated by a meaningful amount in January so the market correction is already well underway. Japan has an advantage in that the authorities’ efforts to rejuvenate activity are relatively young and are predominantly focused on reviving the domestic economy. Global economic data has been improving and business and consumer sentiment indicators are also upbeat. As such, while political and macroeconomic factors are continuing to drive markets and investor sentiment, there are many stock specific opportunities for “bottom-up” fund managers, such as ourselves, to add value.

Strategic Income Fund
The reporting period was characterized by credit risk outperforming interest rate risk; high yield outperformed investment grade which in turn outperformed Treasuries. Two pivotal events happened in September: first, Larry Summers, a perceived monetary hawk, withdrew his candidacy for head of the US Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC); the market had sold off in anticipation as he was the front runner. Consequently, all risk assets, including sovereign bonds, rallied as the markets anticipated the more dovish Janet Yellen being appointed. Second, the outgoing Federal Reserve chairman, Ben Bernanke, performed an about-face on the summer tapering discussion which somewhat wrong-footed markets. The Fund was well-positioned for this result. The ‘no tapering’ decision was justified by the tightening in financial conditions in the US, which took place after the initial summer tapering talks. Markets rallied on this dovish turn of events; sovereign bonds however were weak into year-end as credit and equity markets rallied on.
January saw a significant reversal test for a lazy consensus view which had assumed that risk assets would continue rallying and government bonds would continue to sell-off. Despite the weakness in equities and Emerging Market assets, credit markets proved remarkably resilient reflecting a view that the news flow from Turkey and Argentina did not

represent systemic risk, but rather were contained issues. This seems a fair assessment given that correlations even within the weakest Emerging Market countries were low.
For the reporting period ended January 31, 2014, the Fund returned 4.42% (Class A at NAV) versus the benchmark, 50% Merrill Lynch Global High Yield Index (USD hedged) / 50% Merrill Lynch Global Corporate Index (USD hedged), which posted a return of 0.97%.
Interest rate sensitivity (duration) was generally run at the low end, but the Fund managed to catch a late third quarter-end rally in sovereign bonds by using interest rate futures. Duration was extended as it appeared US economic data would continue to be moderate, even though investors seemed to be positioned short of the market. This position was then subsequently successfully closed. This worked well as sovereigns were weak late in the calendar year.
The largest bond deal ever came in 2013 from Verizon Telecom at $49 billion. This was a great opportunity and the participation benefitted the Fund. Further, generic credit risk was taken through the use of the highly liquid iTraxx Crossover Credit Derivative Index, which boosted returns in the final months of the year. This reflected a tactical decision to boost the credit beta (market sensitivity) of the Fund over this time period.
We continue to think that income will be the primary driver of returns going forward with little opportunity for capital appreciation opportunities in the bond market. With the expectation that defaults will remain at a historically low level, lower rated areas of the credit market continue to provide the most attractive potential returns in the fixed income universe. This has largely been the positioning of the Fund for a number of years now but there are, as yet, no signs that the animal spirits required to cause a significant deterioration in the quality of high yield bonds in issue have yet returned.

Unconstrained Bond Fund
The Fund was successfully launched on December 20, 2013. During December, the Fund was invested to reach the target asset allocation. We remain constructive on credit markets and have allocated approximately 25% to high yield issuers, 20% to investment grade corporates and 12% to asset backed securities. We are more cautious on fixed interest government bonds although we have a meaningful allocation to inflation-linked bonds in the US and UK as well as short-dated Australian and long-dated Mexican government bond exposure. Emerging Market exposure has been focused on countries with strong fundamentals and in shorter maturity bonds from Russia and South Africa (currency hedged) where we do not expect the level of interest rate hikes priced in to be delivered as growth slows. We believe that duration (interest rate risk) will be a bigger headwind to market performance than credit defaults and the portfolio has been positioned accordingly with a low (but positive) duration.
For the reporting period (since inception) ended January 31, 2014, the Fund returned 0.20% (Class A at NAV) versus the benchmark, 3-month LIBOR USD, which posted a return of 0.03%. In January, with the exception of Emerging Market debt, total returns for fixed income were positive. However, asset allocation has not made a material

impact over the period as positive contributions from high yield as well as investment-grade corporates and inflation-linked government bonds were offset by holdings in Emerging Market sovereigns and interest rate hedges (used to reduce the interest rate sensitivity of the portfolio).
Derivatives were used for a number of purposes. Futures were primarily employed to manage Fund duration and forward currency contracts were used to hedge currency risk. By quantity, swaps were the largest category of derivative instruments applied to the portfolio and were used primarily to take active positions in interest rate markets. In this regard, the main positive contributor over the period was our positioning for a flatter yield curve in the US and a steeper yield curve in Europe. Options were also used to take active views on government bond and currency markets, including an expectation that the US dollar would appreciate versus the Australian Dollar and Swiss Franc.
Despite recent weak economic data (affected by poor weather), the US Federal Reserve seems willing to maintain the current pace of tapering unless there is a sustained downturn in the outlook for growth or inflation. This would mean US quantitative easing would be finished by the end of the year. As a result, the Fund continues to maintain a low interest rate sensitivity (duration), and focuses on credit markets for yield. Demand for credit remains strong (despite an uninspiring earnings season) and most of the companies that we follow have taken advantage of the new issuance market to address refinancing needs. While valuations are less compelling than before, default rates are expected to remain low and demand for yield should continue as short-term interest rates remain anchored. Emerging Markets will likely remain volatile and we continue to monitor investor flows closely. Our base case is that this is a period of re-pricing which will likely transition into a period of weaker growth in countries with fragile fundamentals and present opportunities in markets with less onerous external funding needs.

During the six months ended January 31, 2014, there was one transfer into Level 3 out of Level 2 as a result of the fair value pricing procedures established by the Board. Prior to October 18, 2013, the valuation of the Fund’s position in International Petroleum, Ltd. was based upon the proposed merger details with Range Resources, Ltd. Based upon evolving market information indicating the increased likelihood of a failed merger and inability of the company to sell their Russian-based assets to pay off its liabilities, on October 18, 2013 the Advisor approved pricing the security at a fair value of $0.

The total net change in unrealized appreciation (depreciation) attributable to Level 3 investments held at January 31, 2014 was $0. The Fund’s Advisor has determined that International Petroleum, Ltd. is a Level 3 investment due to the lack of observable inputs that may be used in the determination of fair value. The fair valuation reflects that the early-stage exploration company would be left with very few assets if the merger with Range Resources, Ltd. were to fall apart, an increased likelihood of a failed merger, and the lengthy period of time for the company to receive cash even if the sale of its Russian-based assets were successful.

Following is a reconciliation of investments in which significant unobservable inputs (Level 3) were used in determining fair value:

United Kingdom Acquisition 1234 plc | | 0 | | 0 | | 0 | | 0 | | 0 | | 0 | | 0 | | 0 | | 0 | |
Total | | $0 | | $0 | | $0 | | $0 | | $0 | | $0 | | $0 | | $0 | | $0 | |
The total net change in unrealized appreciation (depreciation) in the Statements of Operations attributable to Level 3 investments held at January 31, 2014 was $0.
The Fund’s Advisor has determined that Amstel Vredstein N.V., GDR is a Level 3 investment due to the lack of observable inputs that may be used in the determination of fair value. Management has also concluded there is no value for the investment primarily on the basis that the company is bankrupt, has no current operations, and has delisted from the exchange.
The Fund’s Advisor has determined that Acquisition 1234 plc (formerly W&G Investments plc (“W&G”)) is a Level 3 investment as it was established for the sole purpose of evaluating and potentially acquiring certain branch assets of the Royal Bank of Scotland Group PLC (“RBS”). On September 27, 2013, W&G notified the market that the final proposed takeover terms had been rejected by RBS and as a result, the remaining cash in W&G was to be returned to investors. For a period of time, the Advisor utilized a fair value that was indicative of the prospective return and timeline for that capital disbursement. On January 30, 2014, a cash disbursement from the company was received by the Fund in the amount at which it was fair valued. Subsequent to the cash receipt, the Advisor fair valued the security with no value given the prospects of future payment were questionable based on the information available.

The total net change in unrealized depreciation included in the Statements of Operations attributable to Level 3 investments held at January 31, 2014 was $0.
The Fund’s Adviser has determined that Lehman Brothers UK Capital Funding IV LP is a Level 3 investment due to the lack of observable inputs that may be used in the determination of fair value. Management has also concluded there is no value for the investment on the basis that the company has filed for bankruptcy, the position is currently in default and is highly subordinated.

Note 1. Organization
Henderson Global Funds (the “Trust”) was organized on May 11, 2001, as a Delaware statutory trust and is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”), as an open-end management investment company. The Trust has an unlimited number of authorized shares that are divided among ten series. The Henderson All Asset Fund, Henderson Dividend & Income Builder Fund, Henderson Emerging Markets Opportunities Fund, Henderson European Focus Fund, Henderson Global Equity Income Fund, Henderson Global Technology Fund, Henderson High Yield Opportunities Fund, Henderson International Opportunities Fund, Henderson Strategic Income Fund and Henderson Unconstrained Bond Fund (collectively, the “Funds”) are included in this report. Each is a separate series of the Trust and each is diversified except for the Henderson All Asset Fund, Henderson Dividend & Income Builder Fund, Henderson High Yield Opportunities Fund and Henderson Unconstrained Bond Fund. The Henderson Unconstrained Bond Fund commenced operations on December 20, 2013.
The Henderson All Asset Fund is a Fund-of-Funds (“FoF”) that seeks to achieve its objective by investing in a portfolio of underlying funds (“underlying funds”) which, in turn, may invest in a variety of US and foreign equity, fixed income, money market and derivative instruments. The FoF does not invest in the underlying funds for the purpose of exercising management or control; however, investments by the FoF, within its principal investment strategies, may represent a significant portion of the underlying funds’ net assets. The FoFs’ “Portfolio of Investments” lists the underlying funds held as an investment of the FoF as of period end, but does not include the holdings of the underlying funds.
The Funds offer the following share classes:
| Share Classes |
Fund | A | B | C | I | R |
All Asset | ü | n/a | | | n/a |
Dividend & | | | | | |
Income Builder | | n/a | | | n/a |
Emerging Markets | | | | | |
Opportunities | | n/a | | | n/a |
European Focus | | | | | n/a |
Global Equity Income | | n/a | | | n/a |
Global Technology | | | | | n/a |
High Yield | | | | | |
Opportunities | | n/a | | | n/a |
International | | | | | |
Opportunities | | | | | |
Strategic Income | | | | | n/a |
Unconstrained Bond | | n/a | | | n/a |
Class A shares generally provide for a front-end sales charge. Class B and C shares provide for a contingent deferred sales charge. Class R and I shares are not subject to a front-end or contingent deferred sales charge.
Each class of shares has equal rights as to earnings and assets except that each class may bear different distribution and shareholder service expenses. Each class of shares has exclusive voting rights with respect to matters that affect just that class. Income, expenses (other than expenses attributable to a specific class), and realized and unrealized gains and losses on investments are allocated to each class of shares based on its relative net assets. Class B shares automatically convert to Class A shares at the end of the month following the eighth anniversary of issuance. The Funds do not accept new or additional investments in Class B shares of the Funds with the limited exception that current Class B shareholders may continue to have their dividends automatically reinvested in Class B shares of the Funds. As described in the prospectus, Class B shares of a particular Fund may continue to be exchanged with Class B shares of other Henderson Global Funds.
Note 2. Significant accounting policies
The following is a summary of significant accounting policies followed by each Fund in preparation of its financial statements. These policies are in conformity with US generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”). The preparation of financial statements in accordance with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts. The actual results could differ from those estimates.
Security valuation
Securities and derivatives traded on a recognized exchange or market are generally valued at the last reported sale price or at the official closing price. Listed securities for which no sale was reported on that date and other securities traded in the over-the-counter (“OTC”) market are valued at the mean between the last bid and asked price.
Debt securities are valued at the market value provided by independent pricing services approved by the Board of Trustees of the Trust. If the pricing services are unable to provide valuations, the securities are valued at the mean between the last bid and asked price, or if no ask is available, then the last bid price obtained from one or more broker-dealers. Such pricing services may use various pricing techniques that take into account appropriate factors such as yield, quality, coupon rate, maturity, type of issue, trading characteristics and other data, as well as broker quotes.
Notes to financial statements (unaudited) |
Short-term investments purchased with an original or remaining maturity of 60 days or less at the time of purchase are valued at amortized cost, which approximates fair market value. Investments in investment companies are valued at its reported net asset value, which approximates fair market value.
Forward foreign currency contracts are valued daily at the applicable forward rate.
OTC financial derivatives instruments between the Funds and their counterparties, including swap contracts and option contracts are valued using independent values provided by independent pricing services when available, otherwise, fair values are estimated on the basis of pricing models that incorporate current market measures for interest rates, currency exchange rates, equity prices and indices, credit spreads, corresponding market volatility levels and other market-based pricing factors. Centrally cleared swaps listed or traded on a multilateral or trade facility platform, such as a registered exchange, are valued at the daily settlement price determined by the respective exchange. For centrally cleared credit default swaps the clearing facility requires its members to provide actionable levels across complete term structures. These levels along with external third party prices are used to produce daily settlement prices. Centrally cleared interest rate swaps are valued using a pricing model that references the underlying rates including the overnight index swap rate and London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) forward rate to produce the daily settlement price.
If market quotations are not readily available, or if the investment adviser determines that a quotation of a security does not represent a fair value, then the security is valued at a fair value as determined in good faith using procedures approved by the Board of Trustees of the Trust. The Trustees of the Trust, or their designee, may establish fair value using a wide variety of market data including yields or prices of investments of comparable quality, type of issue, coupon, maturity and rating, market quotes or indications of value from security dealers, evaluations of anticipated cash flows or collateral, general market conditions and other information and analysis, including the obligor’s credit characteristics considered relevant.
For equity securities, the Trust has retained an independent statistical fair value pricing service to assist in the fair valuation process for securities principally traded in a foreign market in order to adjust for possible changes in value that may occur between the close of the foreign exchange and the time at which Fund shares are priced. If a security is valued at a “fair value,” that value may be different from the last quoted market price for the security. As a result, it is possible that fair value prices will be used by the Funds.
Security transactions and investment income
Investment transactions are accounted for on a trade-date basis. Securities purchased or sold on a when-issued or delayed-delivery basis may be settled 15 days or more after the trade date. Interest income is recorded on an accrual basis. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date. Bond premium is amortized and discount is accreted over the expected life of each applicable security. Paydown gains and losses on mortgage-related and other asset-backed securities are recorded as components of interest income on the Statements of Operations. Income or short-term capital gain distributions received from underlying funds are recorded as dividend income. Long-term capital gain distributions received from underlying funds are recorded as realized gains. Corporate actions involving foreign securities, including dividends, are recorded as soon as the information becomes available. Withholding taxes on foreign dividends are accrued in accordance with the applicable country’s tax rules and rates. Gains and losses realized on sales of securities are determined using the specific identification method by comparing the identified cost of the security lot sold with the net sales proceeds, which is the same basis used for federal income tax purposes.
Foreign currency translation
Investments in securities and other assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated into US dollar amounts at the date of valuation. Purchases and sales of investment securities and income and expense items denominated in foreign currencies are translated into US dollar amounts on the respective dates of such transactions.
The Funds do not separate the portion of the results of operations resulting from changes in foreign exchange rates on investments from the fluctuations arising from changes in market prices of securities held. Such fluctuations are included with the net realized and unrealized gain or loss from investments on the Statements of Operations.
Reported net realized foreign exchange gains or losses arise from sales of foreign currencies, currency gains or losses realized between the trade date and settlement date on securities transactions, and the difference between the amounts of dividends, interest, and foreign withholding taxes recorded on the Funds’ books and the US dollar equivalent of the amounts actually received or paid. Net unrealized foreign exchange gains and losses arise from changes in the fair values of assets and liabilities, other than investments in securities at fiscal period end, resulting from changes in exchange rates.

Forward foreign currency contracts
The Funds may enter into forward foreign currency contracts primarily to hedge against foreign currency exchange rate risks on its non-US dollar denominated investment securities. Alternatively, a Fund may enter into a forward foreign currency contract for speculative purposes of gaining exposure to particular foreign currency markets. When entering into forward foreign currency contracts, a Fund agrees to receive or deliver a fixed quantity of foreign currency for an agreed-upon price on an agreed future date. Realized gains or losses on forward foreign currency contracts include net gains or losses on contracts that have matured. Forward foreign currency contracts are valued daily and the unrealized appreciation or depreciation is included in the Statements of Assets and Liabilities. These instruments involve market risk, credit risk or both kinds of risks, the extent of which may subject the Fund to loss in excess of the amount recognized as unrealized appreciation or depreciation in the Statements of Assets and Liabilities. These risks arise from the possible inability of counterparties to meet the terms of their contracts and from unfavorable currency fluctuations. When applicable, open forward foreign currency contracts at the end of the period are listed in each Fund’s Portfolio of Investments.
Futures contracts
The Funds are subject to interest rate risk, equity risk and foreign currency risk in the normal course of pursuing their investment objectives. Accordingly, the Funds may invest in futures contracts to gain exposure to, or hedge against, changes in the value of interest rates or foreign currencies and to gain exposure to equity indices. A futures contract represents a commitment for the future purchase or sale of an asset at a specified price and date. Upon entering into such contracts, a Fund is required to deposit with the broker, either in cash or securities, an initial margin in an amount equal to a certain percentage of the contract amount. Subsequent payments, known as “variation margin,” are made or received by the Fund, depending on the fluctuations in the fair value of the underlying asset. The Funds realize a gain or loss upon the expiration or closing of the futures contracts. Should market conditions move unexpectedly, the Funds may not achieve the anticipated benefits of the futures contracts and may realize a loss. The use of futures contracts involves the risk of imperfect correlation in movements in the price of futures contracts, interest rates, and/or the underlying hedged assets. With futures contracts, there is limited counterparty credit risk to the Funds as futures contracts are exchange-traded and the exchange’s clearinghouse acts as counterparty to all exchange-traded futures transactions. When applicable, open futures contracts outstanding at the end of the period are listed in each Fund’s Portfolio of Investments.
Options contracts
The Funds may purchase put and call options to create investment exposure consistent with their investment objectives or to hedge or limit the exposure of their portfolio holdings. Alternatively, certain Funds may write (sell) call and put options on securities and financial derivative instruments in order to gain exposure to, or protect against, changes in the markets. The Funds may use options on exchange-traded futures contracts, indices or securities to hedge an existing position or future investment, for speculative purposes, or to manage exposure to market movements. The Funds may also use foreign currency options. Purchasing foreign currency options gives the Fund the right, but not the obligation to buy or sell the currency and will specify the amount of currency and a rate of exchange that may be exercised by a specified date. These options may be used as a short or long hedge against possible variations in foreign exchange rates or to gain exposure to foreign currencies.
Purchasing call options tends to increase the Fund’s exposure to the underlying instrument, while purchasing put options tends to decrease the Fund’s exposure to the underlying instrument. The Fund pays a premium when purchasing call options or put options which is included on the Fund’s Statement of Assets and Liabilities as an investment. The option is subsequently valued daily and unrealized appreciation or depreciation is recorded. The Funds realize a gain or loss upon the expiration or closing of the option transaction. The primary risks of investing in purchased options include the risk of imperfect correlation between the option price and the value of the underlying instrument, and the possibility of an illiquid market for the option. Purchased options are generally exchange traded with limited counterparty risk as settlement is facilitated through a central clearinghouse. Accordingly, the risk is generally limited to the premium paid. When applicable, option contracts purchased by the Funds and contracts outstanding at the end of the period are listed in each Fund’s Portfolio of Investments.
Writing put options tends to increase the Fund’s exposure to the underlying instrument. Writing call options tends to decrease the Fund’s exposure to the underlying instrument. When a Fund writes a call or a put option, an amount equal to the premium received by the Fund is recognized as a liability. The amount of the liability is subsequently marked-to-market to reflect the current market value of the option written. These liabilities are reflected as “Options written, at value” on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. If an option which the Fund has written either expires on its stipulated expiration date or the Fund enters into a closing purchase transaction, the Fund realizes a gain (or loss if the cost of a closing purchase transaction exceeds the premium received when the option was written) without regard to any unrealized gain or loss on the underlying security or derivative instrument, and the liability related to such option is extinguished. If a call option which the Fund has written is
Notes to financial statements (unaudited) |
exercised, the Fund recognizes a realized gain or loss from the sale of the underlying security or derivative instrument and the proceeds from the sale are increased by the premium originally received. If a put option which the Fund has written is exercised, the amount of the premium originally received reduces the cost of the security or derivative instrument that the Fund purchases upon exercise of the option. Written options are subject to substantial risks. The Fund as a writer of an option has no control over whether the underlying instrument may be sold (call) or purchased (put) and, as a result, the Funds bear the market risk of an unfavorable change in the price of the derivative instrument, security or currency underlying the written option. Exercise of an option written by a Fund could result in a Fund selling or buying a derivative instrument, security or currency at a price different from current market value. Further, there is the risk the Fund may not be able to enter into a closing transaction because of an illiquid market.
The number of options contracts written and the premiums received by the Unconstrained Bond Fund during the period ended January 31, 2014 were as follows:
| | | | | | | |

Options outstanding, end of period | | | 1,060,045 | | | 14,080 | |
Swap contracts
The Funds may enter into interest rate, total return, credit default, inflation, currency and other swap contracts. Swap contracts are bilaterally negotiated agreements between the Funds and a counterparty to exchange or swap the returns (or the differential in rates of return) earned or realized on particular investments, instruments, indices or other measures for a defined series of cash flows at a predetermined rate at specified, future intervals. Swap contracts are privately negotiated in the OTC market (“OTC swaps”), or may be executed on a multi-lateral or other trade facility platform, such as a registered exchange (“centrally cleared swaps”). The gross returns to be exchanged or “swapped” between parties are generally calculated with respect to a “notional amount” for a pre-determined period of time.
Certain Funds use credit default swaps to manage exposure to a given issuer or sector by either selling protection to increase exposure (i.e., leverage), or buying protection to reduce exposure. The “buyer” in a credit default swap is obligated to pay the “seller” a periodic stream of payments over the term of the contract provided that no event of default on an underlying reference obligation has occurred. If an event of default occurs, the seller must pay the buyer the full notional value, or the “par value,” of the reference obligation in exchange for the reference obligation. In connection with these contracts, securities may be identified as collateral in accordance with the terms of the respective swap contracts to provide assets of value and recourse in the event of default or bankruptcy/insolvency. Recovery values are assumed by market makers considering either industry standard recovery rates or entity specific factors and considerations until a credit event occurs. If a credit event has occurred, the recovery value is typically determined by a facilitated auction whereby a minimum number of allowable broker bids, together with a specific valuation method, are used to calculate the settlement value. Implied credit spreads, represented in absolute terms, utilized in determining the market value of credit default swap contracts as of period end are disclosed in the Portfolios of Investments, as applicable. They serve as an indicator of the current status of the payment/performance risk and represent the likelihood or risk of default for the credit derivative. The implied credit spread of a particular referenced entity reflects the cost of buying/selling protection and may include upfront payments required to be made to enter into the contract. Wider credit spreads represent a deterioration of the referenced entity’s credit soundness and a greater likelihood or risk of default or other credit event occurring as defined under the terms of the contract.
Certain Funds hold fixed-rate and/or floating-rate bonds. Accordingly, the Funds are subject to interest rate risk exposure in the normal course of pursuing its investment objectives as the value of these bonds may decrease if interest rates rise, or vice versa. To hedge against this risk and/or to generate income at prevailing market rates, the Funds may enter into interest rate swap contracts. Interest rate swap contracts involve the exchange by the Fund with another party for their respective commitment to pay or receive a fixed or variable interest rate on the notional amount.
Changes in market value, if any, are reflected as a component of net change in unrealized appreciation/(depreciation) on the Statements of Operations. Daily changes in the valuation of centrally cleared swaps are recorded as a receivable or payable for the change in value (“variation margin”) on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities. OTC swap payments received or made at the beginning of the measurement period are reflected as such on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities and represent premiums paid or received upon entering into the swap contract to compensate for differences between the stated terms of the swap contract and prevailing market conditions (credit spreads, currency exchange rates, interest rates, and other relevant factors). These upfront premiums are recorded as realized gains
Notes to financial statements (unaudited) |
or losses on the Statements of Operations upon termination or maturity of the swap. A liquidation payment received or made at the termination of the swap is recorded as realized gain or loss on the Statements of Operations. Net periodic payments received or paid by the Funds are included as part of realized gains or losses on the Statements of Operations.
Entering into these contracts involves, to varying degrees, elements of counterparty, interest, credit and market risk in excess of the amounts recognized on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities. Such risks involve the potential inability of the counterparties to meet the terms of their contract (which is limited with respect to centrally cleared swaps as described below), unanticipated changes in the value of the swap contract, the possibility that there will be no liquid market for the contract, and that there may be unfavorable changes in interest rates. The risk that a counterparty is unable to perform on its obligations in situations when the Funds are in an appreciated position is mitigated with respect to OTC swaps by having master netting arrangements between the Funds and their counterparties and, in certain scenarios dictated by the contracts, the posting of collateral by the counterparty to the Funds to cover the Funds’ exposure to the counterparty. There is limited counterparty credit risk with respect to centrally cleared swaps as the transaction is facilitated through a central clearinghouse, much like an exchange-traded futures contract. Upon entering into a centrally cleared swap transaction, the Fund is required to deposit with its clearing broker an amount of cash or securities as an initial margin. Subsequent variation margin payments or receipts are made or received by the Fund, depending on the fluctuations in the fair value of the reference entity. The magnitude of counterparty credit risk is different depending on the type of swap. Under a credit default swap, the Funds’ maximum risk of loss as the protection buyer is limited to the market value, or the current unrealized appreciation/depreciation on the contract plus/minus any upfront premiums paid/received. Alternatively, as the protection seller, the maximum risk of loss is equivalent to the notional or par value of the contract plus/minus any upfront premiums paid/received. At January 31, 2014, notional outstanding for credit protection sold, translated into US Dollar amounts, equated to $1,551,004 for the Strategic Income Fund and $202,305 for the Unconstrained Bond Fund. Alternatively, under an interest rate swap, as notional is not exchanged, the Funds’ maximum risk of loss is limited to the market value as described above.
When applicable, open swap contracts at the end of the period are listed in each Fund’s Portfolio of Investments.
Derivative instruments
The Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) requires companies (including the Trust) to disclose information intended to enable financial statement users to understand how derivative instruments impact the Statements of Assets and Liabilities as well as the effect of derivative instruments on the Statements of Operations during the reporting period, in the context of each entity’s risk exposure. Further, in January 2013, the FASB issued Accounting Standard Update (“ASU”) 2013-01 Clarifying the Scope of Disclosures about Offsetting Assets and Liabilities. The update clarifies the scope of ASU 2011-11 which requires enhanced disclosures around financial instruments and derivative instruments that are either offset in accordance with US GAAP or are subject to an enforceable master netting arrangement (“MNA”) or similar agreement. The updates mandate that entities disclose both gross and net information about such financial instruments and transactions eligible for offset on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities, in addition to required disclosure of collateral received and posted in connection with MNAs or similar agreements. Adoption of the updates has no effect on the Funds’ net assets. Accordingly, the following tables summarize each Fund’s fair value of derivative instruments held at January 31, 2014 and the related location on the accompanying Statements of Assets and Liabilities, presented by primary underlying risk exposure, in addition to supplementary information regarding gross and net values and the impact of any collateral posted for those transactions subject to MNAs. Note that all OTC instruments (forward foreign currency contracts, certain credit default swap and interest rate swap contracts and certain options contracts) with Barclays Bank plc, Citibank, N.A., Deutsche Bank AG and JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., are all subject to MNAs.

Indemnifications
Under the Trust’s organizational documents, its officers and trustees are indemnified against certain liabilities arising out of the performance of their duties to the Trust. In addition, in the normal course of business, the Trust enters into contracts that provide general indemnifications to other parties. The Trust’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as future claims may be made against the Trust that have not yet been asserted.
Use of estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with US GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Actual results may differ from those estimates.
Expenses
Expenses are recorded on an accrual basis. Expenses of the Trust that are directly attributable to a specific Fund are charged to that Fund. Expenses attributable to a specific class of shares are charged to that class. Other expenses are allocated proportionately among each Fund within the Trust based on average daily net assets or on another reasonable basis.
Notes to financial statements (unaudited) |
Deferred offering costs
Costs incurred in connection with the offering and initial registration of High Yield Opportunities and Unconstrained Bond have been deferred in conformity with US GAAP and are being amortized to expense on a straight-line basis over the first twelve months after commencement of operations.
Federal income taxes
The Trust’s policy is that each Fund seeks to comply with the requirements of Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (“Subchapter M”), that are applicable to regulated investment companies and to distribute substantially all its taxable income to shareholders. No federal income tax provision is required so long as each Fund operates in a manner that complies with the requirements of Subchapter M. Management has concluded that there are no significant uncertain tax positions that would require recognition in the financial statements. Management of the Funds is also not aware of any tax positions for which it is reasonably possible that the total amount of unrecognized tax benefits will significantly change in the next twelve months. The Funds intend to file tax returns with the US Internal Revenue Service and various states. Generally, the tax authorities can examine all tax returns filed for the last three years.
On December 22, 2010, the Regulated Investment Company Modernization Act of 2010 (the “Act”) was enacted, which changed various technical rules governing the tax treatment of regulated investment companies. One of the more prominent changes addresses capital loss carryforwards. Under the Act, each Fund will be permitted to carry forward capital losses incurred in taxable years beginning after the date of enactment for an unlimited period. However, any losses incurred during those future taxable years will be required to be utilized prior to the losses incurred in pre-enactment taxable years, which carry an expiration date. As a result of this ordering rule, pre-enactment capital loss carryforwards may be more likely to expire unused. Additionally, post-enactment capital loss carryforwards will retain their character as either short-term or long-term capital losses rather than being considered all short-term as permitted under previous regulation.
Finally, the Act contains several provisions aimed at preserving the character of distributions made by a fiscal year registered investment company (“RIC”) during the portion of its taxable year ending after October 31 or December 31, reducing the circumstances under which a RIC might be required to file amended Forms 1099 to restate previously reported distributions. Except for the simplification provisions related to RIC qualification, the Act is effective for taxable years beginning after December 22, 2010. The provisions related to RIC qualification are effective for taxable years for which the extended due date of the tax return is after December 22, 2010.
Losses incurred that will be carried forward under the provisions of the Act are as follows:

Distributions to shareholders
Distributions to shareholders are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Distributions from net investment income and net realized capital gains are determined in accordance with federal income tax regulations, which may differ from US GAAP. These book/tax differences are either temporary or permanent in nature. To the extent these differences are permanent, they are reclassified within the capital accounts based on their federal tax-basis treatment.
The tax character of distributions paid during the six months ended January 31, 2014 and the year ended July 31, 2013 were as follows:

Note 3. Fair value measurements
US GAAP defines fair market value as the price that a Fund would receive to sell an asset or pay to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. Various inputs are used in determining the value of the Funds’ investments. The Funds use a three-tier hierarchy of inputs to establish classification of fair value measurements for disclosure purposes. These inputs may be observable or unobservable. Observable inputs are inputs that reflect the assumptions market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability developed based on market data obtained from sources independent of the reporting entity. Unobservable inputs are inputs that reflect the reporting entity’s own assumptions about the assumptions market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability developed based on the best information available under the circumstances. The inputs used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities. The three-tier hierarchy of inputs is summarized in the following three broad levels:
• | Level 1 – quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical investments |
| |
• | Level 2 – other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar investments, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.) |
| |
• | Level 3 – significant unobservable inputs based on the best information available in the circumstances to the extent observable inputs are not available (including the Fund’s own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments) |
Tables summarizing each Fund’s investments that are measured at fair value by level within the fair value hierarchy at January 31, 2014 have been listed after each Fund’s Portfolio of Investments.
Any transfers between levels are disclosed, effective at the end of the period, in each Fund’s table with the reasons for the transfers disclosed in a note to the table, if applicable.
Note 4. Investment advisory fees and other transactions with affiliates
Pursuant to an Investment Advisory Agreement, Henderson Global Investors (North America) Inc. (“HGINA”) acts as the Funds’ investment adviser. HGINA is an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of Henderson Group plc. HGINA supervises the investments of the Funds and earns a management fee for such services. HGINA earns a fee for its services based on each Fund’s average daily net assets as set forth below.

* | Based on average daily managed assets of the Fund. Managed assets mean the total assets of the Fund (including any assets attributable to any leverage that may be outstanding) minus the sum of accrued liabilities (other than debt representing financial leverage). Since the Fund pays HGINA based on the Fund’s average daily managed assets, HGINA’s fee will be higher if the Fund is leveraged. |
HGINA has engaged Henderson Investment Management Limited (“HIML”), also an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of Henderson Group plc, to act as the investment sub-adviser to the Funds, except for Strategic Income and High Yield Opportunities. Under a separate Sub-Advisory Agreement, the sub-adviser provides research, advice and recommendations with respect to the purchase and sale of securities and makes investment decisions regarding assets of the Funds subject to the oversight of the Board and the Adviser. No additional advisory fees are charged to the Funds for the services of the sub-adviser as these fees are paid from the fees earned by HGINA.
Pursuant to a separate contractual Expense Limitation Agreement, HGINA has agreed to waive or limit its investment advisory fee and, if necessary, to reimburse expenses of each Fund in order to limit total annual ordinary operating expenses, including distribution and service fees, as a percentage of average daily net assets as follows:
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |

* | With respect to investments in affiliated underlying funds, HGINA has contractually agreed to reduce or waive the Fund’s management fee to limit the combined management fees paid to the adviser for those assets to the greater of 1.00% or the affiliated underlying fund’s management fee. Any waiver calculated as a result of limiting these combined management fees is in addition to the general expense limitation highlighted in the table. Indirect net expenses associated with the Fund’s investments in underlying investment companies are not subject to the contractual expense limitation. |
These agreements will remain in effect through July 31, 2020, except the agreement for All Asset, Dividend & Income Builder and Emerging Markets Opportunities, which are effective through July 31, 2015. Shares of the Funds are often purchased through financial intermediaries who are agents of the Funds for the limited purpose of completing purchases and sales. These intermediaries may provide certain networking and sub-transfer agent services with respect to Fund shares held by that intermediary for its customers, and the intermediary may charge HGINA for those services. The Funds reimburse HGINA for such fees within limits specified by the Board of Trustees. The fees are incurred at the class level based on activity, asset levels and/or number of accounts and are included in Sub-accounting fees in the Statements of Operations.
At January 31, 2014, HGINA owned the following number of shares in the following Funds:

Identified cost may differ for book and tax basis reporting purposes primarily due to tax deferral of losses on wash sales, PFIC transactions, different book and tax treatment on certain debt instruments and amortization of premiums reflected as of January 31, 2014.
Note 8. Significant concentrations
The Funds may invest a substantial percentage of their assets in securities of foreign issuers. These investments may involve certain considerations and risks not typically associated with investments in the United States as a result of, among other factors, the possibility of future political and economic developments and the level of governmental supervision and regulation of securities markets in the respective countries. Some countries in which the Funds invest may require government approval for repatriation of investment income, capital or the proceeds of sales of securities by foreign investors. In addition, if there is deterioration in a country’s balance of payments or for other reasons, a country may impose temporary restrictions on foreign capital remittances abroad. In addition, changes in currency exchange rates will affect the value of investments denominated in a foreign currency, as well as investment income derived from those securities. These risks may be heightened in less developed countries, which are sometimes referred to as emerging markets. For example, political and economic structures in these countries may be changing rapidly, which can cause instability and greater risk of loss. These countries are also more likely to experience higher levels of inflation, deflation or currency devaluation, which could hurt their economies and securities markets. For these and other reasons, investments in emerging markets, particularly in Emerging Markets Opportunities Fund, are often considered speculative. Further, the Funds maintain many of their investments in issuers domiciled in the Eurozone. The private and public sectors’ debt problems of a single Eurozone country may pose significant risks to the Eurozone as a whole. As a result, the Funds may be more susceptible to volatility generated by currency devaluations or other general uncertainties than more geographically diversified funds that do not concentrate in this region of the world.
The Funds may invest a high percentage of their net assets in specific sectors of the market in order to achieve a potentially greater investment return. As a result, the economic, political and regulatory developments in a particular sector of the market, positive or negative, may have a greater impact on a Fund’s net assets and will cause the value of its shares to fluctuate more than if the Fund did not concentrate its investments in a particular sector. In particular, Global Technology concentrates its investments in issuers within specific industries of the technology and telecommunications sectors. Valuations of companies in these sectors are typically subject to greater volatility than other sectors.
The Dividend & Income Builder Fund, High Yield Opportunities Fund, Strategic Income Fund and Unconstrained Bond Fund invest in a variety of income-producing debt instruments of corporate and sovereign issuers. Accordingly, each may be subject to the previously described foreign issuers risk, to varying degrees, in addition to the risk of default by the issuer. As a matter of their investment strategies, the High Yield Opportunities Fund and Unconstrained Bond Fund are also subject to higher concentrations of investments in lower quality
Notes to financial statements (unaudited) |
high yield securities or asset-backed/structured securities. Investing in high yield, asset-backed or structured securities may involve greater risks and considerations not typically associated with investing in US Government bonds and other high quality fixed-income securities. High yield securities are non-investment grade securities, often referred to as “junk bonds.” Economic downturns may disrupt the high yield market and impair the ability of issuers to repay principal and interest. Additionally, asset-backed securities are subject to the risk that underlying debt may be prepaid prior to maturity or refinanced causing further volatility in the value. A small change in interest rates would likely have a pronounced adverse impact on the value of such high yield and asset-backed obligations. Moreover, these securities may be less liquid as there is a less-established secondary market and the Funds may not be able to sell the asset timely.
Note 9. Borrowing arrangements
The Trust maintains a $100 million credit facility to facilitate portfolio liquidity. Interest is charged to each Fund based on its borrowings at a rate per annum equal to the Federal Funds rate plus 1.25%. In addition, a commitment fee of 0.10% per annum is accrued and apportioned among the Funds in the Trust. The commitment fee is included in Miscellaneous fees on the Statements of Operations. No amounts were borrowed by the Funds under this facility during the six months ended January 31, 2014.
Note 10. Recently issued accounting pronouncements
In June 2013, the FASB issued ASU 2013-08, “Financial Services – Investment Companies (Topic 946): Amendments to the Scope, Measurement, and Disclosure Requirements,” which sets forth a new approach for determining whether a public or private company is an Investment Company and sets certain measurement and disclosure requirements for an Investment Company. The amendments are effective for fiscal years beginning on or after December 15, 2013. An entity regulated under the 1940 Act would automatically qualify as an Investment Company for accounting purposes under Topic 946 and thus the Funds’ management believes the release will have no impact to the Funds.

The Funds have filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission the Form N-Q and it is available on the Securities and Exchange Commission’s website at www.sec.gov. Additionally, the Portfolios of Investments may be reviewed and copied at the Commission’s Public Reference Room in Washington, DC. Information on the operation of the Public Reference Room may be obtained by calling 1.800.SEC.0330. The quarterly Portfolios of Investments are also available without charge, upon request, by calling 866.443.6337 or by visiting the Funds’ website at www.henderson.com.
Federal tax information
Certain tax information for the Funds is required to be provided to shareholders based on the Funds’ income and distributions for the taxable year ending July 31, 2013. In February 2014, shareholders will receive Form 1099-DIV, which includes their share of foreign tax credit, qualified dividends and capital gains distributed during the calendar year 2013. Shareholders are advised to check with their tax advisors for information on the treatment of these amounts on their individual income tax returns.
Statement Pursuant to Section 19(a) of the Investment Company Act of 1940
The exact source of aggregate fund distributions for each fiscal year can only be determined as of the end of each Fund’s fiscal year, July 31. However, under Section 19(a) of the Investment Company Act of 1940, the Funds are required to indicate the source of each distribution to shareholders at the time of payment if the distribution is made from any source other than accumulated undistributed net income. For purposes of this disclosure, the source of each distribution is based on US Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“GAAP”) and will differ from federal income tax-based reporting provided to shareholders due to certain tax adjustments. For federal income tax purposes, the Funds will send you a Form 1099-DIV for each calendar year that will tell you how to report these distributions.
The Funds are making the following disclosures pursuant to Section 19(a).
During the period ended January 31, 2014, All Asset, European Focus, Global Equity Income, International Opportunities, Unconstrained Bond and World Select paid the following distributions, which were paid in part from sources other than accumulated undistributed net income as measured at the time of payment:

Shareholder expense
As a shareholder of the Funds, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including sales charges (loads) on purchase payments and redemption fees and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees, distribution (12b-1) fees, shareholder services fees and other Fund expenses. The example in Table 1 and Table 2 is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs of investing in the Funds and to compare these costs with ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds. It is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the six months ended January 31, 2014.
Actual expenses
Table 1 provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this line, together with the amount invested, to estimate the expenses that you incurred over the period. Simply divide your account value at the end of the period by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number under the heading entitled “Expenses Paid During the Period” to estimate the expenses attributable to your investment during this period.
Hypothetical example for comparison purposes
Table 2 provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Funds’ actual expense ratios and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Funds’ actual return. Thus you should not use the hypothetical account values and expenses to estimate your actual ending account balance or the expense attributable to your investment during the period. Rather, these figures are provided to enable you to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Funds and other funds. To do so, compare the 5% hypothetical examples with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of other funds.
Expenses paid during the period include amounts reflected in the Funds’ Statements of Operations net of reimbursements by the investment adviser. The annualized expense ratios used in the example are as follows:

Unconstrained Bond | | | 1.15 | % | | N/A | | | 1.90 | % | | 0.90 | % | | N/A | |
Please note that the expenses do not reflect shareowner transaction costs such as front end sales charges and redemption fees. These fees are described for each Fund and share class in the “Commentaries and Performance Summaries” section of this report beginning on page 2. Table 2 is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transaction costs were included, your costs would have been higher.
