International and emerging markets investing involves certain risks and increased volatility not associated with investing solely in the US. These risks included 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. Certain of the Funds are non-diversified and therefore the change in value of a single holding may have a more pronounced effect on a Fund’s performance. Also, the Funds may invest in limited geographic areas and/or sectors which may result in greater market volatility. In addition 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 Funds may be subject to frequent trading which may result in a turnover rate of 100% or more which will increase the cost of investing.
The All Asset 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. The Fund is subject to investment company and pooled vehicles risk, allocation risk, leverage risk, interest rate risk, private equity 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. Private equity investing generally has less publicly available information for investors. Investments in high yield securities may offer more attractive returns but also greater risk that a particular security may default.
The Dividend & Income Builder 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 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. Credit risk refers to an issuer’s ability to make timely payments of principal and interest. Investments in high yield securities may offer more attractive returns but also greater risk that a particular security may default.
The High Yield Opportunities Fund, Strategic Income 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 bond issuers’ ability to make timely payments of principal and interest. High yield securities may increase the risk that a security may default. The Funds’ share price and yield will be affected by interest rate movements, as the value of bond investments and mortgage and asset backed securities are at greater risk during periods of rising interest rates than during periods of stable or falling rates. Impact of prepayments on the value of asset backed securities may be difficult to predict. 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 Global Technology Fund’s returns may be considerably more volatile than a fund that does not invest in technology companies. Technology companies may react similarly to certain market pressure and events. These may be significantly affected by short product cycles, aggressive pricing of products and services, competition from new market entrants, and obsolescence of existing technology.
The High Yield Opportunities Fund, Strategic Income Fund, and Unconstrained Bond Fund may invest in high yield, lower rated (junk) bonds.Securities rated below investment grade generally entail greater credit, market, issuer and liquidity risk than investment grade securities. Moreover, the Funds are subject to interest rate risk which is the risk that debt securities in the portfolio will decline in value because of increases in market interest rates. The Funds may borrow money which may adversely affect the return to shareholders, also known as leverage risk.
The International Long/Short Equity Fund may invest in illiquid securities and is subject to short sale risk, issuer risk and leverage risk. The Fund may experience significant losses in a market where the value of both the Fund’s long and short positions are declining. When taking a short position, the Fund’s potential loss is unlimited, given the loss is calculated as the maximum attainable price of the security, less the price at which the Fund’s position in the security was established. The Fund is also subject to the risk that the third party to the short sale may fail to honor its contract terms, causing a loss to the Fund. An issuer in which the Fund invests may perform poorly, and the value of its securities may therefore decline, which would negatively affect the Fund’s performance. The Fund may borrow money which may adversely affect the return to shareholders, also known as leverage risk.
The US Growth Opportunities Fund is subject to issuer risk and growth investing risk. An issuer in which the Fund invests may perform poorly, and the value of its securities may therefore decline, which would negatively affect the Fund’s performance. Growth securities may be more volatile than other securities as they are more sensitive to investor perceptions of the issuing company’s potential. Market values of growth securities may never reach their expected market value and may decline in price.
Letter to shareholders |
Dear shareholder,
We are pleased to provide the semi-annual report for the Henderson Global Funds, which covers the six months ended January 31, 2015.
The period has been characterized by three dominant themes: subdued global growth, falling commodity prices and accommodative monetary policy. In the aftermath of the financial crisis, the global economy is suffering from excess economic supply and a shortage of economic demand, which has translated into lower growth, higher unemployment and price deflation. To provide context, look no further than the oil futures market. Since September, the price of oil in US dollars has declined over 50%, in part due to increased supply from the US and Saudi Arabia, and to slowing global demand from Europe and Asia. The divergence of economic growth became apparent in 2014 as the US and UK saw strong GDP growth of 2.2% and 3.0%, respectively, while Japan and the Eurozone lagged behind at 0.4% and 0.9%, respectively.
In order to fend off this disinflationary environment, central bankers around the globe have endeavored to devalue their currencies in order to boost exports and increase inflation. In October, Japan further increased its stimulus program, while China cut interest rates for the first time in two years. As central bankers in the US and UK were ending their historic stimulus programs, the European Central Bank (“ECB”) announced its own plan in January to inject €1.1 trillion into the Eurozone economy. This unified currency devaluation among international partners has translated into a 30% rise in the US dollar’s value since April 2011.
Against this difficult global backdrop, there are positive signs already emerging in 2015. The recent decline in oil prices translates roughly to a 3.1% boost in global GDP, which should act as a tailwind for global consumers and energy importers, such as Japan and Europe. The lower euro value (down 20% since April 2014) and ECB stimulus should also help bolster the region’s economic output and provide liquidity to nations that desperately need it. The US economy, which has benefited from strong labor and capital markets, should continue to be a bright spot, with investors focused on US wage growth and the Federal Reserve’s impending interest rate hike. Japan will continue its attempt to pull itself out of stagflation, with lower currency and energy costs acting as a springboard for future economic growth. As for emerging markets, much will depend on how lower energy prices affect key exporters like Russia and Venezuela, while China appears to remain focused on structural reforms aimed at long-term sustainability, at the expense of more aggressive GDP growth.
At Henderson, the acquisition of Geneva Capital Management (“Geneva”), the plans for which were announced in our last shareholder letter, closed on October 1, 2014. This is an important strategic milestone in the development of Henderson’s North American business, adding US equity investment capabilities and extending our US institutional client base. Geneva’s long track record managing US growth equities, underpinned by a disciplined and consistent investment process, expands an important capability for Henderson. Subsequent to this acquisition, we launched the US Growth Opportunities Fund on December 18, 2014. This Fund is managed by Michelle Picard, Scott Priebe and Derek Pawlak of Geneva, and follows a “bottom-up,” fundamental process with a focus on high quality growth companies.
In addition, we have launched two other Funds within the past six months. The International Select Equity Fund, a “bottom-up,” concentrated international equity fund, launched on September 30, 2014, and the International Long/Short Equity Fund, a long/short “best ideas” international equity fund, launched on December 9, 2014.
We believe that these Funds are key additions to the Henderson Global Funds family as we seek to provide you with further options to diversify your portfolios with products 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.

Europe – 3 reasons for optimism: Quantitative Easing, |
We believe that the European Central Bank’s (ECB) commitment to a large and sustained Quantitative Easing (QE) program, rising exports and lower oil prices are the main factors that should provide a supportive environment for European progression during the year.
Central Banks and QE
• | The large and sustained ECB QE action is a necessary component for Europe’s progression | |
• | On 1/22/2015, the ECB announced it will purchase €60 billion per month of euro-government debt, euro-agency debt and European institution debt for 18 months, or €1.1 trillion ($1.25 trillion USD) in total | |
• | This equates to roughly 10% of the Eurozone GDP, which in GDP terms is in line with the QE programs of the US and UK |
Bank lending growth should be a positive effect of QE
2
rising exports and lower oil prices |
Exports set to rise
A weaker euro is good for European exporters; it boosts earnings per share (EPS) and imports the inflation that Europe needs.
GDP and Oil
A cheaper oil price is clearly positive for Europe since most of the region imports energy.

Commentary |
All Asset Fund
The disappointments of 2014 may open the door to a more palatable 2015 for world economies. That said, we suspect that investors are overly pessimistic about global economic vigor and that there are a number of ingredients that could produce a positive growth surprise.
The falling oil price is an important influential factor for 2015. The sharp decline effectively provides a global tax cut, a powerfully redistributive force that removes billions from oil-rich exporters and provides a tailwind for struggling economies, where fuel and energy inputs are a key factor in the costs of manufacturing and the prices that consumers pay for goods and services.
Falling inflation has very recently seen the European Central Bank (ECB) announce a significant quantitative easing (QE) program. Crucially, the measures will also involve the ECB buying government bonds, albeit with defined risk-sharing parameters. Although central banks’ paths have been diverging – Japan and Europe are firmly in easing mode with the US Federal Reserve having ended its QE program – the timing of interest rate rises in the US and UK continues to be pushed out. On the fiscal side of policy, measures taken by the US government to shrink the budget deficit have largely worked their way through US growth data, while European politicians are quietly abandoning austerity.

For the reporting period ended January 31, 2015, the Fund returned 0.59% (Class A at NAV) versus the benchmark, 3-month LIBOR (USD), which posted a return of 0.12%. Performance was largely driven by the allocation to equities, particularly in the US. The fixed income allocation was broadly flat while the allocation to private equity modestly detracted from performance.
Against a backdrop of economic expansion and the potential for a growth surprise, we continue to favor equities as an asset class. Coupled with a positive shorter-term cyclical picture, valuations are reasonable on most measures particularly when compared with areas of the bond market.
Within our regional allocations to equities, we have been reducing our exposure to the UK in favor of continental Europe. A more activist ECB, a falling oil price, a weaker euro, and the diminishing talk of austerity have been encouraging us back into European stocks for the first time since early 2013. In contrast, the UK has already experienced its fair share of positive growth surprises, and expectations are perhaps too high.
In the US, our current allocation poses a conundrum: the economy continues to exhibit macro momentum and fundamentals have been notably strong. However, monetary policy considerations potentially put a cap on market growth. We may be inclined to add to Europe at the expense of the US. The relative behavior of the two central banks will be an important determinant of what we do and when.
Looking ahead, we believe markets will be shaped by significant divergences in growth and policy during 2015, and we would therefore expect more volatility and less correlation between asset classes than in recent years. We see scope for positive growth surprises in the months ahead as the impact of monetary policy and weaker oil prices kicks in and the drag from fiscal tightening eases.

Dividend & Income Builder Fund
For the majority of 2014, 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 amongst the strongest performers globally, as economic data proved resilient such that the Federal Reserve began to hint of interest rate increases in the coming year. This outperformance was reversed in January as companies began reporting earnings downgrades caused by the strong US dollar. Elsewhere, the European Central Bank announced a quantitative easing program that, while expected, exceeded expectations in size and scope.
For the reporting period ended January 31, 2015, the Fund returned -1.75% (Class A at NAV) versus the benchmark, MSCI World Index, which posted a return of -1.17%. The Fund continued to meet its income objectives over the period. Performance relative to the benchmark was held back by a structural underweight to the US (where dividends are typically lower). The Fund made gains in Japanese and Australian holdings, particularly in the financials sector as well as European telecommunications.
Among the best performers was Japanese pharmaceutical company Takeda, where expectations that the company can reduce duplicate costs and approach a peer group margin have grown. Also

among the top performers was Imperial Tobacco. If the acquisition of Lorillard by Reynolds is approved by shareholders, Imperial Tobacco may further benefit from acquiring US assets divested as part of the transaction. This could give Imperial Tobacco a roughly 10% market share in the US along with opportunities for cost cutting.
In the equity allocation, the Fund continues to seek companies with both above-average yield and dividend growth. 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, it is our view that equities continue to look like a good value, especially given the prospects for ongoing dividend growth. In the fixed income allocation, we prefer credit over interest rate risk. We plan to continue our strategy of investing in high quality names with attractive coupons.
Inflation has reached record lows in many developed economies, with government bond yields continuing to fall as investors’ “price-in” the monetary stimulus in Europe and delays to interest rate increases elsewhere. Equities, therefore, remain an attractive source of income for investors in many markets. In addition, over the long term, dividends and dividend growth provide a significant proportion of an investor’s total equity return, and offer a compelling basis for valuing companies.
The outlook for dividend growth in local currencies remains encouraging – companies are increasingly focused on returning cash to shareholders and have strong (in many cases, net cash) balance sheets. The strength of the dollar, however, means that in US dollar terms the dividend growth will likely be more subdued for the Fund than in 2014.

Emerging Markets Opportunities Fund
Throughout the period, developed market equities outperformed the emerging markets. Sharp drops in the price of oil and a steep rise in the US dollar led to a general lack of investor confidence in commodity demand and the performance of the asset class fell into negative territory towards the end of the period.
The strength of the US dollar and expectations of rising US interest rates had a significant impact on currencies and portfolios priced in US dollars across the emerging markets; for example, approximately half the local currency returns in southeast Asian markets were offset by significant currency weakness. US dollar strength could be a multiple year trend for some emerging markets but, not all. China pegs its currency to the US dollar and views it as in equilibrium and many of the other Asian markets are still running healthy current account surpluses (Korea and Taiwan for example). Latin American equities had a particularly difficult time over the period, underperforming their emerging market counterparts as declining commodity prices and a stronger US dollar raised questions over the region’s economic growth outlook. Elsewhere, continued geopolitical concerns in the Middle East and Ukraine dominated news flow in the Emerging Europe, Middle East and Africa (EMEA) region.

For the reporting period ended January 31, 2015, the Fund returned -8.66% (Class A at NAV) versus the benchmark, MSCI Emerging Markets Index, which posted a return of -8.92%. The Asian sub-portfolio was the strongest performer both in terms of asset allocation and stock selection. The standout region was China/Hong Kong which saw gains driven by positive sentiment in the A-share market which strongly impacted the financial sector, which had been lagging for a couple of years. The turnaround in sentiment is hard to pinpoint but overall a more positive view on the structural reform agenda the government has in place is a key driver. Both EMEA and Latin America struggled to make gains as macro events dominated individual company performance.
We have been very mindful of the risks and challenges faced by the emerging markets bloc with regards to geopolitical events, commodities and currencies. Over the period, the Fund moderately increased its allocation to EMEA, while the allocation to Asia grew on the back of market movements and Latin America naturally fell into an underweight. We believed that our approach to stock selection and focus on the growth of the Asian region would help to add value in a difficult period for the asset class.
We see some of the biggest risks to emerging markets equities in 2015 being found in further geopolitical destabilization in the Middle East and Ukraine as well as prolonged commodity price uncertainty. However, valuations in many emerging market countries are relatively low and economies still have the potential to grow faster than the developed world. We continue to believe an active approach to investing in emerging markets equities is needed as market overreactions to broad-based headline events are a continued source for selective stock opportunity.

European Focus Fund
It was a volatile period for European markets which were initially held back by mixed global economic data as well as ongoing geopolitical tensions between Russia and the West, an increased level of conflict in Israel and the Ebola outbreak. Scotland’s vote in September to stay in the UK did allay fears of any potential negative European implications on the back of a potential ‘no’ vote. A short-term rally during the second half of October and throughout November was followed by the region being weighed down once again by deflationary fears, slowing German growth and the re-emergence of a possible Greek exit from the euro. The euro continued its relative decline throughout the period and the precipitous fall in the price of oil weighed heavily on the energy sector; however, companies were encouraged by the prospect of lower prices helping consumers and reducing costs for many industries, although being clearly bad for producers. January saw the Swiss National Bank abandon its currency peg to the euro which sent further shockwaves through markets and led the Swiss franc over 15% higher versus the euro. Syriza, the Greek anti-austerity party, was voted into government and European investors got their wish as the European Central Bank (ECB) introduced a much anticipated quantitative easing (QE) program, driving equity prices higher in the region. While the situation in Greece highlighted the political risks that are

prevalent in Europe, the ECB action was a necessary component for Europe’s progression during 2015.
For the reporting period ended January 31, 2015, the Fund returned -3.95% (class A at NAV) versus the benchmark, MSCI Europe Index, which posted a return of -7.48%. A reduced commonality to the category helped relative Fund performance, which was led by the overweight positions to consumer discretionary, industrials and information technology. Highlights of outperformance included ProSiebenSat.1 Media, AA and ASML.
Holdings in media, advertising and industrials were increased as we believe, for the price, the risk is justified. We continued to avoid consumer staples because of the perception of overvalued companies; they are good businesses but are not candidates for the Fund at current prices. Among the newer purchases during the period were electrical equipment distributor, Rexel, Spanish infrastructure construction company, Obrascon, business information provider, Informa, national cable and satellite company, Liberty Global, and home product store, Kingfisher - which sells a range of home improvement consumer goods predominantly in the UK and France. Sales included the financial companies HSBC, Societe Generale and UniCredit.
Despite the economic and political uncertainties that remain, we believe that the ECB’s commitment to a large and sustained QE program and the lower price of oil price and euro are the main factors that should provide a good environment for European progression during 2015. We are mindful that valuations in the region are “pricing-in” little to no recovery and there could be significant opportunities – particularly within overly dismissed companies which are more cyclical and/or discretionary consumer spending.

Global Equity Income Fund
Global economic growth was stronger in 2014 than had been anticipated, although the rate of growth remains low relative to recent history. Growth expectations were downgraded as the year progressed, which resulted in a more challenging competitive environment and lower profitability than both companies and investors originally expected. However, in this moderate growth environment, global dividend growth has continued to be strong, with global dividends rising 8%. Companies are increasingly recognizing the value in returning cash to shareholders, particularly in countries such as the US where dividends grew 11% in 2014. We have also seen evidence of this at the portfolio level. For example, Cisco, which prior to 2011 chose not to pay a dividend, increased its dividend a further 12% in 2014.
For the reporting period ended January 31, 2015, the Fund returned -3.76% (Class A at NAV) versus the benchmark, MSCI World Index, which posted a return of -1.17%. The Fund continued to meet its high earned income objectives over the period. During the latter half of 2014 the Fund suffered a headwind in terms of the strengthening of the US dollar relative to most other currencies; the Fund is global with a foreign bias and therefore has the majority of its assets outside the US. Underlying that, however, the Fund had strong performance (in local terms) from

the UK holdings which significantly outperformed the domestic indices there. The Fund also outperformed in Australia, where we had less exposure to mining and commodity companies and more local economically sensitive companies (such as Premier Investments) which did well over the period.Elsewhere, the European exposure was low for most of the period and stock selection was strong, notably in Germany, Switzerland and Denmark.
The Fund has broad sector exposure across the portfolio. A favored area currently is in telecommunications where we are finding not only a strong secular theme but also relatively attractive valuations and dividend yields. In telecommunications, the trends are fairly global where more users are adopting smart phones and therefore using the internet more heavily. Data has been increasing and this creates the opportunity to increase revenue per customer. We decreased exposure to energy and mining towards the end of 2014 as a result of the falling commodity price environment. Regionally we are beginning to increase our investments in Europe by reducing the UK exposure.
Our strategy of seeking a high dividend yield naturally draws us to markets which are higher yielding, such as the UK and Europe. Looking into 2015 we are optimistic that this preference will leave the Fund well positioned – monetary conditions in Europe are easing, currency weakness could boost earnings for global companies and real wage growth is beginning to come through in countries such as the UK. Valuations in the UK and Europe also continue to look attractive relative to US peers.

Global Technology Fund
Global equity market volatility was high during the reporting period in which technology outperformed the broader market. Following an initial market correction in early August, equities recovered. However, by September, concerns over global growth and the direction of central bank policies led to a market sell-off and a significant rise in investor tension. Investors remained concerned over the resilience of global growth, geopolitical concerns and the decline in commodity prices, particularly oil, played an important role in share price action. During the end of 2014, the US continued its outperformance of global equity markets as a result of strong economic data and a largely positive company results season. There has been broad strength across European regions at the start of 2015 after the European Central Bank announcement of the increased quantitative easing program. However, in the US, incrementally weaker gross domestic product growth, coupled with an already highly valued equity market, saw equity markets lag on a relative basis and weighed on the technology sector.
For the reporting period ended January 31, 2015, the Fund returned 2.11% (Class A at NAV) versus the benchmark, MSCI AC World Information Technology Index, which posted a return of 3.18%. At the sector level, the underweight position and stock selection within technology hardware storage & peripherals,

and stock selection within internet software & services were the main drags on performance. At the stock level, the main detractors on a relative basis were Apple (which remained the largest position in the Fund, but a significantly larger index constituent and outperformed throughout the year), Web.com and Pandora Media. Stock selection within the IT services and software industries were the main positive contributors to performance with individual stock performers being NetEase, Avago Technologies and NXP Semiconductors.
Activity during the period included the sale of Fiserv in favor of Fidelity National Information, the latter being exposed to similar growth drivers but trading on a relative discount. NGK Spark Plug was added given its strong position in sensor markets and Broadcom was bought as the stock’s prospects look favorable following the exit of its baseband business. A position was added in YY, the Chinese social network, as monetization of its user base has driven revenue growth. We sold out of Infineon due to a lack of operating leverage and acquisition integration risk and initiated a position in CDW, a high quality distributor in the US, based on its competitive position and attractive valuation.
While further rounds of global quantitative easing are occurring, the uncertain economic environment continues to curtail capital spending. In addition, the strengthening dollar is proving an increasing headwind for US technology companies. While technology companies remain cheap relative to the market, these headwinds may mean that in the short term technology stocks will struggle to outperform the overall market. Longer term, the technology sector remains attractive given its structurally higher earnings growth rate and strong balance sheets.

High Yield Opportunities Fund
The high yield (HY) market took a turn for the worse in the third quarter of 2014, a trend that continued for the remainder of the year and led to US HY bonds underperforming leveraged loans and other parts of the fixed income universe including investment grade corporates and 10-year Treasuries. Double B rated bonds and single B rated bonds outperformed triple C rated bonds, defensive industries outperformed cyclicals and natural resource based companies underperformed the category. The decline in the energy sector, which accounts for 14% of the benchmark, dragged down the US HY market over the majority of the period, although the energy sector drag on the HY market abated somewhat in January.
The reporting period contained some notable events. First, December was an epic month in the history of the HY market with record low issuance, high volatility, the fourth largest default ever (Caesars Entertainment Operating Co) and one of the largest retail outflows ever. This was mostly driven by the energy sector and highlighted the growing differences between the US HY market and the European HY market. Second, in January, for the first time since 2008, the volume of new issuance generated in the HY and leveraged loan markets for acquisitions exceeded the amount raised for refinancing. January was somewhat of a return to

normalcy compared to December as retail flows turned positive and new issuance picked up as the asset class benefitted from the European Central Bank (ECB) rates action.
For the reporting period ended January 31, 2015, the Fund returned -0.81% (class A at NAV) versus the benchmark, Bank of America Merrill Lynch US High Yield Master II Constrained Index, which posted a return of -0.99%. In addition to credit selection, relative performance was aided by the credit upgrade process given our views on liquidity and valuation within the HY market. We reduced exposure to triple C’s and increased double B’s and targeted a holding of 10% in secured leveraged loans; the loans exposure having the dual effect of upgrading the credit quality of the portfolio while also giving us some interest rate protection. Our energy exposure was underweight entering the final quarter of the year which helped relative performance.
We have undertaken a credit upgrade process given our views on liquidity and valuation within the HY market. While we do not see an imminent risk of defaults due to degradation of credit fundamentals (except for the energy sector), we think it is appropriate to upgrade the portfolio before fundamentals begin to deteriorate given the valuations, low yields and challenging trading liquidity. By the end of January, our weighted average yield (i.e. the total yield on the portfolio, divided by the number of bonds, weighted for the size of each bond) and spread-to-worst (i.e. the difference in overall returns between two different classes of securities, or between different representative securities in the same class) were slightly below the benchmark. We have also reduced and upgraded the credit quality of our energy holdings, particularly in the exploration and production sub-sector.

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. 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 1.68%, 2.45% and 1.38%, respectively. However, the Fund’s adviser has contractually agreed to waive its management fee and, if necessary, to reimburse other operating expenses (excluding Acquired Fund Fees and Expenses from underlying investment companies) in order to limit total annual ordinary operating expenses, less distribution and service fees, to 0.85% of the Fund’s average daily net assets, which is in effect until July 31, 2020.

International Long/Short Equity Fund
The Fund was launched on December 9, 2014 against a volatile market backdrop with December seeing heightened unease in international equity markets and investor concerns about the resilience of global growth, European deflation and the end of quantitative easing (QE) in the US. Economic data in Japan was negative and disappointed again in January with weaker than expected GDP numbers. In emerging markets, weak economic data in China led to the first interest rate cut in two years as well as injections into the banking system.
January proved more diverse for global markets with broad strength across European regions after the European Central Bank (ECB) introduced a much anticipated QE program. In the US, incrementally weaker GDP growth, coupled with an already highly valued equity market, saw equity markets lag on a relative basis. With the exception of precious metals, commodities (especially oil) continued to fall amidst evidence of oversupply and weak demand. The Shanghai Composite was notable for its weakness, given the rally seen in late 2014, after the China Securities Regulatory Commission banned the country’s three largest brokerages from opening new margin accounts in an effort to quell risky lending practices. There was heightened currency volatility early in January as the Swiss National Bank

unexpectedly abandoned its currency peg to the euro, sending shockwaves through markets and the Swiss franc down 21.5% versus the US dollar on the day of the announcement.
For the reporting period (since inception) ended January 31, 2015, the Fund returned -2.20% (class A at NAV) versus the benchmark, MSCI EAFE Index (USD Hedged), which posted a return of 2.58%.
The biggest drag on performance was the UK mid-cap strategy; specifically, Quindell, on the short-book, and Oxford Instruments, on the long-book, were the biggest detractors. The Japan strategy also struggled with Yamato Holdings and Sumco, both short positions, as the biggest detractors. Europe and Asia fared better with Europe leading the way with top contributions from Rexel, Renault and ProSienbenSat.1.Media - but these were outweighed by the UK and Japan shortfalls.
Although growth concerns remain, as well as potential political and macroeconomic surprises, we still prefer equities as an asset class and the international markets look attractive on many metrics. The Fund follows a fundamental, “bottom-up” stock selection process with an unconstrained approach to portfolio construction and, against the uncertain and fragile backdrop, stock selection remains key to finding investment opportunities.

International Opportunities Fund
Global equity market volatility was high throughout the period. Following a period of recovery, concerns over global growth and the direction of central bank policies led to a market sell-off in September and a significant rise in investor tension. Despite a short-term rally in the second half of October and November, volatility rose again in December and continued through calendar year-end as investors worried over the resilience of global growth, European deflation and re-emergence of a possible Greek exit from the euro, geopolitical concerns, the spread of the Ebola virus and the end of quantitative easing (QE) in the US. The decline in commodity prices, particularly oil, played an important role in share price action leading most energy related stocks down. A surprise fall in third quarter gross domestic product (GDP) data led Japan into a technical recession. Prime Minister Abe called a snap election and, following reelection, postponed the next consumption tax hike. In emerging markets, weak economic data in China led to the first interest rate cut in two years as well as injections into the banking system. Broad strength across European regions and sectors was seen at the start of 2015 after the European Central Bank (ECB) introduced a much anticipated QE program, weakening the euro and driving equity prices higher in the region. Japan continued to struggle due to a weaker than expected GDP number. In the US,

incrementally weaker GDP growth coupled with an already highly valued equity market saw equity markets lag on a relative basis. There was weakness in the Shanghai Composite which followed the China Securities Regulatory Commission banning the country’s three largest brokerages from opening new margin accounts in an effort to quell risky lending practices. Currency volatility was heightened early in the month as the Swiss National Bank unexpectedly abandoned its currency peg to the euro, sending shockwaves through markets and the Swiss franc up over 15% versus the euro.
For the reporting period ending January 31, 2015, the Fund returned -0.02% (class A at NAV) versus the benchmark, MSCI EAFE Index, which posted a return of -6.88%. Although the second half of 2014 was broadly positive for each geographic sub-portfolio, allocation to specific regions was a clear positive over the period. Exposure to Europe was initially reduced and Japan and Asia both increased at opportune times. The pitch of the Fund was altered towards the end of 2014 and into 2015 as allocation to the Japan, Asia and Global Growth sub-portfolios were all reduced in favor of the pan-European sub-portfolio. Exposure to the region was initially increased due to the prospect of an eventual growth surprise and being conscious that the Fund was light versus the benchmark. The increase to the pan-European sub-portfolio is due to our anticipation of greater potential at the more cyclical end of Europe. We believe that investors are still skeptical as to whether growth will come from Europe and that the evidence will build, thereby increasing Europe’s popularity.
Although growth concerns remain, as well as potential political and macroeconomic surprises, international equities look attractive on many metrics. There is scope for positive growth surprises as the impact of monetary policy and weaker oil prices kick in and the drag from fiscal tightening eases. However, against the uncertain and fragile backdrop, stock selection remains key to finding investment opportunities.

International Select Equity Fund
The concluding months of 2014 saw heightened unease as international equity markets continued on a downward trend as investors worried over the resilience of global growth, European deflation anxieties, geopolitical tensions, and the end of quantitative easing (QE) in the US. The continued decline in commodity prices, particularly oil, played an important role in share price action, leading most energy related stocks down and sparking debate as to the potential benefits and costs across regions, countries, sectors and stocks. This uncertainty continued into 2015 as the Swiss National Bank unexpectedly abandoned its currency peg to the euro, sending the Swiss franc up over 15% versus the euro and correspondingly pummeling Swiss listed equities. In a reversal of 2014, US equities started the year as the weakest market, while Europe delivered one of the best returns as investors finally got their wish for further monetary stimulus as the European Central Bank (ECB) introduced a much anticipated QE program.
The International Select Equity Fund was launched on September 30, 2014. For the reporting period (since inception) ended January 31, 2015, the Fund returned -3.50% (Class A at NAV) versus the benchmark, MSCI EAFE Index, which posted a return of -3.05%.
Looking at performance relative to the benchmark, by region, it was holdings in Japan that proved the most challenging, with positions in the UK, continental Europe, Asia Pacific and Canada all adding value. By

sector, holdings in utilities and financials detracted from returns, while selections in information technology and consumer discretionary added value. In Japan, the oil price decline put pressure on Japanese pump manufacturer Ebara, although its business is more downstream focused and new oil and gas projects represent only 12% of sales. Concerns over Russian demand and the weak currency also weighed on Japan Tobacco. This more than offset a positive contribution from dispensing chemist Tsuruha, which continued to receive earnings upgrades on expectations for further mergers and acquisitions. Within the utilities sector, the position in RWE had a negative impact on performance as weak power prices and a possible delay to the sale of their upstream oil and gas business weighed on the share price. Within the technology sector in Europe, French telecom equipment manufacturer Alcatel-Lucent rallied after beating third quarter earnings expectations. In the consumer discretionary sector, Italian media company Mediaset performed well on better than expected earnings and evidence that the Italian advertising environment is improving.
The newest positions added included Grifols and Orange. Plasma derivative manufacturer Grifols is operating in a growing industry driven by increased penetration and new users for their proteins. European mobile telephone companies are undergoing significant restructuring, rationalization and consolidation after a period of unprofitable activity. As a result we believe Orange should benefit from a more benign pricing environment.
We remain broadly positive on the outlook for equities based on the continued strength of US economic growth, the continued low interest rate environment, political momentum behind the Japanese recovery and the roll out of QE. Our broad optimism remains tempered by numerous uncertainties around macroeconomic and geopolitical risk; especially a potential Greek exit from the Eurozone. However, focusing as we do on “bottom-up” company dynamics, we see many investment opportunities, and uncertain political and macroeconomic surprises have historically provided us with opportunities to invest at attractive valuations.

Strategic Income Fund
2014 was an unusual year in that fixed income market performance was driven by duration (interest rate sensitivity) rather than by credit spreads. The same themes have continued in 2015; a persistent deficiency of aggregate demand in the global economy, which was subsequently exaggerated by the falling price of oil. An environment of low growth, low inflation, low defaults and relatively low volatility is of course highly favorable for bond investors. We continue to see investors grab for long dated fixed rate bonds to protect themselves in this deflationary environment. President Draghi of the European Central Bank (ECB) managed to exceed investor expectations with his long awaited European quantitative easing (QE) program – this spurred bond prices higher and the euro lower. Europe appears to be in slightly better shape with activity picking up, most notably in Spain. A number of countries have cut interest rates around the world accepting the weaker demand environment, the stronger dollar and the need for a competitive exchange rate.
The Fund continues to perform well against this backdrop. For the reporting period ended January 31, 2015, the Fund returned 3.51% (Class A at NAV) versus the benchmark, 3-Month LIBOR (USD), which posted a return of 0.12%. The long-dated financial book performed very well, being long-dated insurance bonds and legacy tier-1 bank bonds. Long-dated industrial investment grade bonds also performed well, while the shorter-dated industrial

high yield book performed reasonably well. New high yield deals have been well received but the new issue premium is waning. Stock selection was strong and we avoided many of the problems that other funds had as part of the strategy’s philosophy by consistently avoiding energy, retail and food.
We continue to focus on a number of investment themes regarding the macro environment which is to take the yield (sensible carry) and to exercise caution by lending to large non-cyclical businesses. In addition, we continue to favor the banking and insurance industries, which, although cyclical, are becoming heavily regulated to the benefit of bondholders. Currently there isn’t much growth or inflation, defaults are low with the exception of the energy sector and volatility is fairly muted which creates an overall environment very supportive for credit. Lending to large, non-cyclical, reasonably levered businesses like Iron Mountain, HCA, SCI or Orange with a focus on sensible carry should get us through this year. We remain very selective when considering new deals to potentially add to the portfolio as it feels somewhat late in an elongated credit cycle.
We think that income will be the primary driver of returns going forward with limited opportunity for capital appreciation 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 potential for the most attractive returns in the fixed income universe. We are coming to the end of a very long cycle and this year we are protective of what we hold and protective of our clients’ money. We continue to be confident in maintaining the Fund’s current distribution levels.

Commentary |
Unconstrained Bond Fund
The period was characterized by falling oil prices, a strengthening US dollar, and a collapse in developed market government bond yields (resulting in higher prices). Longer maturity government bonds performed particularly well on fears that global disinflationary pressures were intensifying, and that interest rates may not return to historical norms. Corporate bond (credit) markets underperformed government equivalents, with US high yield and emerging market debt the major laggards.
For the reporting period ended January 31, 2015, the Fund returned -1.35% (Class A at NAV) versus the benchmark, 3-Month LIBOR (USD), which posted a return of 0.12%. The Fund delivered a negative return due to exposure to lower-rated corporate debt and the result of hedging the majority of interest rate risk (duration) in the underlying portfolio. As a result, the Fund did not participate in the strong rally seen in investment-grade corporate and government bond markets.
Government bond exposure was maintained at low levels with the fund holdings focused on Italian inflation-linked debt and Mexico. In addition, the Fund was positioned for yields to rise in the US and Australia, for higher inflation expectations in developed markets and for long-dated bonds to underperform those of shorter maturities (i.e. steeper yield curves). These positions detracted from return.

During the period, we reduced exposure to interest rate strategies and increased the duration of the portfolio, in recognition of the increased correlation between our interest rate positioning and other holdings in the portfolio.
With US economic data strong relative to Europe and Asia, active currency positions expecting the US dollar to appreciate versus the euro, yen, sterling and New Zealand dollar all performed well, adding significant value.
The allocation to floating rate asset-backed securities continued to perform robustly benefitting from the European Central Bank’s asset purchase program. The higher quality end of the corporate bond market also benefited from macro uncertainty as well as supportive supply/demand dynamics. However, the Fund’s holdings in lower-rated corporate bonds detracted from performance, especially US high yield, which were negatively impacted by the pace and magnitude of the falling oil price.
The asset allocation at the end of the period was 23% investment-grade corporate bonds, 20% in high yield corporate bonds, 17% variable coupon asset backed securities (ABS), 15% in inflation-linked government debt, 4% in emerging market government debt, 3% senior secured floating rate notes and the remainder in cash and bond market derivative instruments.
Bond markets are likely to be driven by divergent central bank policy in 2015 which we expect will provide further support for the US dollar, but may have negative implications for US interest rate markets, as well as emerging markets. As a result, we retain low exposure to government bond markets and little interest rate sensitivity (duration) in the Fund. We are cautiously optimistic on the outlook for credit markets given low default rates and accommodative monetary policy (particularly in Europe). Valuations in US and UK corporates look more attractive, albeit at low overall yield levels. While high yield valuations have improved, the falling oil price may increase volatility, particularly in the US and for the energy sector.

US Growth Opportunities Fund
While the Eurozone is facing near recessionary conditions and China’s growth has slowed precipitously, the US economy is showing accelerating growth. The recovery has been broad based with strength in industrial production, retail sales and new durable goods orders. Supporting expectations for further growth in 2015, personal income is up, leading economic indicators have risen and consumer sentiment is at a post-recession high.
The dramatic drop in the price of oil, as well as other commodities, coupled with the lack of any demand-driven inflation metrics leads us to once again lower our inflation forecasts. Inflation globally is muted with most developed countries showing no inflation due to stagnant growth. Emerging markets, which once drove global inflation, are now exporting their deflation to the developed economies. In addition, health care costs, which had been growing at double digit rates, are beginning to decline due to the Affordable Care Act and the rise of high deductible policies. At some point, we anticipate the massive liquidity injections into our financial system from the Federal Reserve’s four year quantitative easing programs to translate into higher monetary velocity (and higher prices), but not in the near term.
The US Growth Opportunities Fund was launched on December 18, 2014. For the reporting period (since inception) ended January 31, 2015, the Fund

returned -1.10% (Class A at NAV) versus the benchmark, Russell 3000 Growth Index, which posted a return of -1.64%. The Fund’s relative outperformance over the period was driven by stock selection within the consumer discretionary and energy sectors. Both Starbucks and Tractor Supply Company contributed to the consumer discretionary performance and within the energy sector Concho Resources performed strongly over the period.
The Fund is currently positioned to take advantage of increased consumer spending and an improving US economy; the Fund is overweight producer durables and has a large allocation to consumer discretionary.
Market valuation has been a constant source of debate throughout this six-year bull market run. We believe the US stock market is fairly valued offering returns in line with earnings growth. While corporate earnings have driven much of the appreciation, it is important to discern how much has been driven by price/earnings (PE) expansion. Utilities and staples are two notable sectors where the majority of the moves in 2014 have been due to expanding PE’s as investors sought high dividend paying securities in the face of declining bond yields.
Given the historically low interest rates, lack of inflation, acceleration of growth in earnings and the financial position of US companies, we feel our S&P 500 Index forecast for this year and at even higher levels in 2016 is appropriate leading to potential upside by year-end. While this may seem hopeful, when consensus gravitates toward mid-single digit returns for the year, the reality is typically different. The third year of a presidential cycle has historically been the strongest. But secondarily, the strength in the credit markets continue to surprise as investors globally are clamoring for yield in every sector but energy. This should continue to support buybacks and mergers and acquisitions which we feel should be positive for markets. This is not to say we won’t witness corrections, but we anticipate them being short lived.

The total net change in unrealized appreciation (depreciation) attributable to Level 3 investments held at January 31, 2015 was $52,059.
The Fund’s Advisor has determined that TIAA-CREF Asset Management Core Property Fund LP (“CPF”) is a Level 3 investment due to the lack of observable inputs that may be used in the determination of fair value. The CPF is a private Delaware limited partnership that provides monthly liquidity to its investors and invests its contributed capital in a TIAA-CREF REIT. The REIT is a limited partnership which in turn invests in a TIAA-CREF operating partnership. The investments of the operating partnership include real property assets. As a result, the monthly valuations prepared by the CPF and assignment of a net asset value per share are ultimately driven by changes in the valuation of the underlying real property assets in the operating partnership. All of the investments in real estate are appraised annually by an independent third-party appraiser. The CPF’s policy is to report all such investments, as well as related debt at fair value under US Generally Accepted Accounting Principles based on the appraised value. The annual appraisals are conducted on a rolling basis such that approximately 25% of the portfolio receives an annual full appraisal each quarter. In addition, each appraisal is updated quarterly under the direction of an independent, third-party appraisal firm. The significant unobservable inputs used in the fair value measurement and appraisal of the real property assets include: a) an extensive market study, including a thorough analysis of current market conditions and trends as they impact supply, demand and absorption of the relevant property type; b) thorough description of the site and improvements, including a site plan and renderings of the improvements if available; c) estimate of the value of the land; d) estimate of the value of the property using a cost approach; e) estimate of the market value of the property using a sales comparison approach; and f) estimate of the value of the property using a detailed income capitalization approach that includes several diagnostic inputs. Significant changes in any of those inputs in isolation would result in a significant change in the fair value measurement.

Following is a reconciliation of investments in which significant unobservable inputs (Level 3) were used in determining fair value:
Investments in securities | Balance as of July 31, 2014 | Accrued discounts/ premiums | Realized gain/(loss | ) | Change in unrealized appreciation (depreciation | ) | Purchases | Sales | Transfers in to level 3 | Transfers out of level 3 | Balance as of January 31, 2015 | |||||||||||||||||

Total | $ | 0 | $ | 0 | $ | 0 | $ | 0 | $ | 0 | $ | 0 | $ | 0 | $ | 0 | $ | 0 |
The total net change in unrealized appreciation (depreciation) attributable to Level 3 investments held at January 31, 2015 was $0.
The Fund’s Adviser 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 has been suspended from trading since October 2013 due to significant doubt about its ability to sell its Russian-based assets and failed merger with Range Resources, Ltd.

(a) | Bank loan interests are, at present, not readily marketable, not registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “1933 Act”), and may be subject to contractual and legal restrictions on sale. Bank loan interests in the Fund’s portfolio generally have variable rates which adjust to a base, such as the London Inter-Bank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”), on set dates, typically every 30 days but not greater than one year; and/or have interest rates that float at a margin above a widely recognized base lending rate such as the Prime Rate of a designated U.S. bank. | |
(b) | Bank loan interests often require prepayments from excess cash flow or permit the borrower to repay at its election. The degree to which borrowers repay, whether as a contractual requirement or at their election, cannot be predicted with accuracy. As a result, the actual remaining maturity may be substantially less than the stated maturities shown. | |
(c) | Security is purchased on a delayed delivery basis. | |
(d) | Restricted security, purchased pursuant to Rule 144A under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and which is exempt from registration under that Act. At January 31, 2015, the restricted securities held by the Fund had an aggregate value of $15,318,388, which represented 56.1% of net assets. | |
(e) | Variable or Floating rate interest rate security. Rate presented represents rate at January 31, 2015. | |
(f) | Maturity date is perpetual. Maturity date presented represents the next call date. | |
(g) | This short-term investment was segregated for open swap contracts and delayed delivery purchases at January 31, 2015. | |

(a) | Bank loan interests are, at present, not readily marketable, not registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “1933 Act”), and may be subject to contractual and legal restrictions on sale. Bank loan interests in the Fund’s portfolio generally have variable rates which adjust to a base, such as the London Inter-Bank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”), on set dates, typically every 30 days but not greater than one year; and/or have interest rates that float at a margin above a widely recognized base lending rate such as the Prime Rate of a designated U.S. bank. | |
(b) | Bank loan interests often require prepayments from excess cash flow or permit the borrower to repay at its election. The degree to which borrowers repay, whether as a contractual requirement or at their election, cannot be predicted with accuracy. As a result, the actual remaining maturity may be substantially less than the stated maturities shown. | |
(c) | Security is purchased on a delayed delivery basis. | |
(d) | Maturity date is perpetual. Maturity date presented represents the next call date. | |
(e) | Variable or Floating rate interest rate security. Rate presented represents rate at January 31, 2015. | |
(f) | Restricted security, purchased pursuant to Rule 144A under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and which is exempt from registration under that Act. At January 31, 2015, the restricted securities held by the Fund had an aggregate value of $11,602,821, which represented 10.4% of net assets. | |
(g) | These securities and this short-term investment have been segregated for open futures contracts, open forward foreign currency contracts, delayed delivery purchases and swap contracts at January 31, 2015. | |
(h) | Security is in default. | |
(i) | Fair valued at January 31, 2015 as determined in good faith using procedures approved by the Board of Trustees. | |

The total net change in unrealized appreciation (depreciation) attributable to Level 3 investments held at January 31, 2015 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 thirteen 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 Long/Short Equity Fund, Henderson International Opportunities Fund, Henderson International Select Equity Fund, Henderson Strategic Income Fund, Henderson Unconstrained Bond Fund and Henderson US Growth Opportunities 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, Henderson International Long/Short Equity Fund, Henderson International Select Equity Fund, Henderson Unconstrained Bond Fund and Henderson US Growth Opportunities Fund. The Henderson International Select Equity Fund commenced operations on September 30, 2014; the Henderson International Long/Short Equity Fund commenced operations on December 9, 2014; and the Henderson US Growth Opportunities Fund commenced operations on December 18, 2014.
Though it may invest directly in securities, the Henderson All Asset Fund is primarily 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, derivative instruments and commodities. 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 subject to 1940 Act limitations and any exemptive relief provided thereto. The FoF’s “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:

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 Funds of the Trust.

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 (“US GAAP”).
Management has evaluated the structure, objectives, and activities of the Funds and has determined that each Fund meets the characteristics of an investment company. As such, the Funds’ financial statements apply the guidance set forth in Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 946, Financial Services –Investment Companies.
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, including short-term investments and/or those with an original or remaining maturity of 60 days or less, 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.
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 options (including swaptions) and centrally-cleared swap contracts listed or traded on a multi-lateral or trade facility platform, such as a registered exchange, 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.
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 also 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, or expense on securities sold short, 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, financial derivative instruments 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.

Notes to financial statements (unaudited) |
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 and financial derivative instruments 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 as a component of “Financial Derivative Instruments”. 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. 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. Unrealized appreciation or depreciation, reflected as a component of “Financial Derivative Instruments” assets and/or liabilities on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities, is recognized but not considered realized until the contracts expire or are closed. 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.
Short sales
The International Long/Short Equity Fund may engage in short selling (i.e., selling securities it does not own) as part of its normal investment activities. The Fund will enter into a short position on a security believed to be overvalued or poised to underperform in order to take advantage of a decline in its price. Securities sold short are reflected as a liability (“Securities sold short, at value”) on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities. There are substantial risks associated with selling short, including the risk that the Fund may have to cover its short position at a higher price than the short sale, resulting in a loss. The loss on a short sale is potentially unlimited as the value of a security sold short increases. The Fund is also subject to the risk that the third party to the short sale may fail to honor its contract terms, causing a loss to the Fund.
Short positions are collateralized by cash and/or securities held with the Fund’s custodian. The collateral amount is adjusted daily based on the market value of the short positions. The cash collateral that is restricted from use is included on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities as “Cash segregated as collateral on securities sold short.” The securities pledged as collateral that are restricted from use are included on the Portfolio of Investments. Dividends on short sales, in addition to short sale financing fees, are treated as an expense on the Statement of Operations. Liabilities for securities sold short are closed by purchasing the applicable securities for delivery to the Fund’s enhanced custodian. Open short positions outstanding at the end of the period are listed in the Fund’s Portfolio of Investments.

Options
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. The Funds may also use interest rate swaptions in which the underlying instrument is an interest rate swap (discussed below under “Swap contracts”). Swaptions are agreements to enter into a pre-defined swap agreement by some specified date in the future. The writer of a swaption becomes the counterparty to the swap if the buyer exercises. The interest rate swaption agreement will specify whether the buyer of the swaption will be a fixed-rate receiver or a fixed-rate payer upon exercise. These types of options may be used to hedge against unfavorable fluctuations in interest rates.
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. The option is subsequently valued daily and unrealized appreciation or depreciation is recorded; the asset is reflected as a component of “Financial Derivative Instruments” on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. 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. There is limited counterparty risk with respect to exchange-traded purchased options as settlement is facilitated through a central clearinghouse. There is inherently more risk in counterparty non-performance for OTC purchased options, although the risk is generally limited to the premium paid. When applicable, options purchased by the Funds and 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 a component of “Financial Derivative Instruments” 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 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. When applicable, open options and swaptions at the end of the period are listed in each Fund’s Portfolio of Investments.
The number of options/swaptions written and the premiums received, including both exchange-traded and OTC options, by the Unconstrained Bond Fund during the period ended January 31, 2015 were as follows:

Swap contracts
The Funds may enter into interest rate, credit default, inflation, equity, total return, 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
185
Notes to financial statements (unaudited) |
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 either pay the buyer the full notional value, or the “par value,” of the reference obligation in exchange for the reference obligation or pay a net amount equal to the par value of the defaulted reference entity less its recovery value. 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.
The International Long/Short Equity Fund may enter into equity swaps for purposes of establishing long or short exposure to underlying individual securities. Equity swaps may be used in lieu of direct stock investment or short sale to enhance liquidity, synthetically enter markets with high barriers to entry or establish short positions in markets where short selling is disallowed. Equity swaps involve commitments where single or multiple cash flows are exchanged based on the price of the underlying security and a fixed or variable interest rate. At maturity, a net cash flow is exchanged equivalent to the return, inclusive of dividends declared, on the underlying equity, less a financing rate, if any.
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. Swap payments received or made at the beginning of the measurement period are included 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). Upfront premiums received (paid) are initially recorded as liabilities (assets) and subsequently marked to market to reflect the current value of the swap. These upfront premiums are recorded as realized gains 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
186
Notes to financial statements (unaudited) |
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, 2015, notional outstanding for credit protection sold (in thousands), translated into US Dollar amounts, equated to $400 for the High Yield Opportunities Fund, $480 for the Strategic Income Fund and $227 for the Unconstrained Bond Fund. Alternatively, under an interest rate, equity or inflation swap, as notional is not exchanged, the Funds’ maximum risk of loss is limited to the unrealized loss on the contracts. When applicable, open swap contracts at the end of the period are listed in each Fund’s Portfolio of Investments.
Derivative instruments
The 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 off-set 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 off-set 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 tables included under the heading “Fair Value of Financial Derivative Instruments” in the Funds’ Portfolios of Investments summarize each Fund’s fair value of derivative instruments held at January 31, 2015 and the related location on the accompanying Statements of Assets and Liabilities, as well as the amount of gains and losses on derivative instruments recognized in the Funds’ earnings and the related location on the accompanying Statements of Operations, presented by primary underlying risk exposure. Supplementary information regarding gross and net values and the impact of any collateral posted for those transactions subject to MNAs is presented in Financial Derivatives Instruments disclosure in the Funds’ Portfolios of Investments under the heading “Financial Derivative Instruments: Over-the-Counter Summary.” Note that all OTC instruments (forward foreign currency contracts, OTC credit default swap, equity, inflation and interest rate swap contracts, swaptions and certain options) with Barclays Bank plc, BNP Paribas Securities Services, Citibank, N.A., Credit Suisse Securities (Europe) Limited, Deutsche Bank AG and JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. are all subject to MNAs. The settlement of all futures contracts, exchange-traded options and centrally-cleared swap contracts (credit default and interest rate) is guaranteed by the clearinghouse or exchange the instrument is traded on and is not subject to arrangements with particular counterparties. For that reason, these types of investments are excluded from such disclosures.
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.
Deferred offering costs
Costs incurred in connection with the offering and initial registration of International Long/Short Equity, International Select Equity and US Growth Opportunities 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. The deferred offering costs incurred by Unconstrained Bond were fully amortized to expense as of December 20, 2014.

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 (“RICs”) 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.
FASB ASC 740-10 Income Taxes – Overall sets forth a minimum threshold for financial statement recognition of the benefit of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. Management of the Funds has concluded there are no significant uncertain tax positions that would require recognition in the financial statements. Management 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, each of the tax years in the four-year period ended July 31, 2014 remains subject to examination by taxing authorities.
The Funds may be subject to taxes imposed by countries in which they invest. Such taxes are generally based on income and/or capital gains earned or repatriated. Taxes are accrued based on net investment income, net realized gains and net unrealized appreciation as such income and/or gains are earned. Taxes may also be based on transactions in foreign currency and are accrued based on the value of investments denominated in such currency. With respect to to withholding taxes on certain foreign dividends and interest, the Funds file withholding tax reclaims in certain jurisdictions to recover a portion of amounts previously withheld. The Funds record a reclaim receivable based on, among other things, a jurisdiction’s legal obligation to pay reclaims under double taxation agreements or treaties with the United States, as well as payment history and market convention. In consideration of recent decisions rendered by European courts, the European Focus Fund, Global Equity Income Fund, Global Technology Fund and International Opportunities Fund have filed for additional reclaims related to prior years in accordance with European Union law. However, consistent with US GAAP accrual requirements, these Funds have not recorded a corresponding receivable amount as there is limited historical precedent for US RICs collecting reclaims of this magnitude and the amount of the reclaims that these Funds may receive in the future, if any, is uncertain. Any amounts to which these Funds may be entitled, if and when recorded, likely would result in an increase in the net asset value of each Fund at that time. As of January 31, 2015, the total amount of additional reclaims identified and being pursued via filings for each Fund in the countries that may be affected by the European courts’ decisions (namely, Finland, France, Germany, Spain and Sweden) represent approximately 0.2%, 0.5%, 0.1% and 0.5% of the net assets of each of the Funds, respectively; however, the recovery of any or all of these amounts and timing of recovery, if any, is uncertain.
To the extent that capital loss carryforwards incurred in current and prior years are used to offset any future capital gains realized during the carryover period as provided by US Federal income tax regulations, no capital gains tax liability will be incurred by the Funds for gains realized and not distributed. To the extent that capital gains are offset, such gains will not be distributed to the shareholders. Carryforwards not subject to expiration must be utilized prior to losses that carry an expiration; as a result, certain carryforwards may expire unused. Losses incurred that will be carried forward under the provisions of the regulations are as follows:
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.

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, 2015.
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 included under the heading “Fair value measurements” summarizing each Fund’s investments that are measured at fair value by level within the fair value hierarchy at January 31, 2015 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 would be higher if the Fund is leveraged. |
HGINA has engaged Henderson Investment Management Limited (“HIML”) to act as the investment sub-adviser to the Funds, except for High Yield Opportunities, Strategic Income and US Growth Opportunities. HGINA has engaged Geneva Capital Management (“Geneva”) to act as the investment sub-adviser for US Growth Opportunities, while no sub-adviser has been appointed for High Yield Opportunities or Strategic Income. Both HIML and Geneva are also indirect wholly owned subsidiaries of Henderson Group plc. Under separate Sub-Advisory Agreements, the sub-advisers provide 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-advisers 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 affiliate 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 affiliate 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. |
** | Dividend expense and financing charges on securities sold short are excluded from the expense limitation calculation. |
These agreements will remain in effect through July 31, 2020.

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 for 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 by the 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, 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, the Global Technology Fund 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, Strategic Income Fund and Unconstrained Bond Fund are also subject to higher concentrations of investments in lower quality 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 based on relative average net assets. 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, 2015.
Note 10. Recently issued accounting pronouncements
In August 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-15 Presentation of Financial Statements - Going Concern (Subtopic 205-40): Disclosure of Uncertainties about an Entity’s Ability to Continue as a Going Concern which provides guidance in US GAAP about management’s responsibility to evaluate whether there is substantial doubt about an entity’s ability to continue as a going concern and to provide related footnote disclosures. The amendments are effective for annual periods ending after December 15, 2016, and for annual periods and interim periods thereafter, though early adoption is permitted. In management’s evaluation, there are no uncertainties about each Fund’s ability to continue as a going concern.
Note 11. Subsequent Events
Management has evaluated the possibility of subsequent events and determined that there are no material events that would require adjustment to or disclosure in the Funds’ financial statements.

Approval of Investment Advisory and Sub-Advisory Agreements
During the most recent fiscal half year, Henderson Global Funds launched three new series: the Henderson International Long/Short Equity Fund, the Henderson International Select Equity Fund and the Henderson US Growth Opportunities Fund (the “New Funds”). The Board of Trustees of Henderson Global Funds oversees the management of the New Funds and, as required by law, the investment advisory and the sub-advisory agreements for the New Funds.
In connection with their consideration of those agreements for the New Funds, the Trustees received and reviewed a substantial amount of information provided by Henderson Global Investors (North America) Inc. (the “Adviser”) and Henderson Investment Management Limited (“HIML”), the sub-adviser to the International Select Equity Fund and the International Long/Short Equity Fund, and Geneva Capital Management (“Geneva,” and collectively with HIML, the “Sub-Advisers”), the sub-adviser to the US Growth Opportunities Fund in response to requests of the Independent Trustees and their counsel, and discussed with representatives of management the proposed operations of the New Funds and the nature and quality of advisory and other services proposed to be provided by the Adviser and Sub-Advisers to the New Funds. The Trustees also received and reviewed a memorandum from counsel to the Independent Trustees regarding the Trustees’ responsibilities in evaluating the agreements. Throughout their consideration of the agreements, the Independent Trustees were advised by their independent legal counsel. The Independent Trustees met with management to consider the agreements, and also met separately in executive session with their counsel.
Based on their evaluation of the information provided by the Adviser and the Sub-Advisers and other information, the Trustees determined that the overall arrangements between the New Funds and the Adviser were fair and reasonable in light of the nature and quality of the services proposed to be provided by the Adviser and the Sub-Advisers, the fees proposed to be charged for those services, and other matters that the Trustees considered relevant in the exercise of their business judgment. The Trustees, including all of the Independent Trustees, unanimously approved the investment advisory agreement and the sub-advisory agreement for the New Funds through August 30, 2016, subject to earlier termination as provided in each agreement.
In considering the agreements, the Trustees reviewed and analyzed various factors that they determined were relevant, including the factors described below, none of which by itself was considered dispositive. Furthermore, in their deliberations, the Independent Trustees did not identify any single factor that was paramount or determinative and each Independent Trustee may have weighed information differently. However, the material factors and conclusions that formed the basis for the Trustees’ determination to approve the agreements are discussed separately below.
Nature, Extent and Quality of Services
The Trustees reviewed the nature, extent and quality of the services proposed to be provided by the Adviser and Sub-Advisers to each of the New Funds, taking into account the investment objective and strategy of each New Fund. In addition, the Trustees reviewed the resources and key personnel of the Adviser and Sub-Advisers, especially the personnel who would provide investment management services to the respective New Funds. The Trustees also considered other services to be provided to each New Fund by the Adviser and Sub-Advisers, such as managing the execution of portfolio transactions and the selection of broker-dealers for those transactions, monitoring adherence to each New Fund’s investment restrictions, producing shareholder reports, providing support services for the Trustees and Trustee committees and overseeing the activities of other service providers, including monitoring compliance with various policies and procedures of the New Funds and with applicable securities laws and regulations.
The Trustees concluded that the nature, extent and quality of the services to be provided by the Adviser and Sub-Advisers to each of the New Funds were expected to be appropriate and consistent with the terms of the investment advisory and sub-advisory agreements, that the quality of those services were expected to be consistent with norms in the industry and that

each New Fund would benefit from the provision of those services. They also concluded that the Adviser and Sub-Advisers had sufficient personnel, with the appropriate education and experience, to serve each New Fund effectively and had demonstrated their continuing ability to attract and retain well-qualified personnel.
Costs of Services Provided
The Trustees examined information on the proposed fees and expenses of each of the New Funds in comparison to information for other comparable funds as provided by Lipper Inc.
The Trustees considered the methodology used by the Sub-Advisers in determining compensation payable to portfolio managers, the competitive environment for investment management talent and the competitive market for mutual funds in different distribution channels.
The Trustees also reviewed the Adviser’s management fees for its other accounts that are similar in strategy to the New Funds.
Finally, the Trustees considered the financial condition of the Adviser and each Sub-Adviser, which they found to be sound.
The Trustees concluded that the management fees that would be payable by each of the New Funds to the Adviser, as well as the fees to be paid by the Adviser to the Sub-Advisers, were reasonable in relation to the nature and quality of the services to be provided, taking into account the fees charged by other advisers for managing comparable mutual funds with similar strategies and the fees the Adviser charges to other clients. The Trustees also concluded that the estimated overall expense ratio of each New Fund was reasonable, taking into account the anticipated size of the New Funds, the quality of services to be provided by the Adviser and the expense limitations agreed to by the Adviser.
Economies of Scale
The Trustees considered the potential of the Adviser to experience economies of scale as the assets of the New Funds increase. They noted that by virtue of the expense limitations that the Adviser had agreed to, the Adviser would be subsidizing each New Fund during its start-up phase until it reached adequate scale. The Trustees also noted that they would have the opportunity in the future to re-examine whether the New Funds had achieved economies of scale and the appropriateness of the advisory fees payable by the New Funds to the Adviser. The Trustees concluded that the proposed advisory fee rate reflected an appropriate level of sharing of any economies of scale between the Adviser and the New Funds.
Other Benefits to the Adviser
The Trustees also considered benefits that would accrue to the Adviser and its affiliates from their relationship with the New Funds.
After full consideration of the above factors as well as other factors, the Trustees, including all of the Independent Trustees, concluded that the investment advisory and sub-advisory agreements for the New Funds were in the best interest of the New Funds and their shareholders.
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. In February of each year, shareholders will receive Form 1099-DIV, which includes their share of foreign tax credit, qualified dividends and capital gains distributed during the calendar year. 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 1940 Act, 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 and will differ from federal income tax-based reporting provided to shareholders due to certain tax adjustments. Distributions paid in part from paid-in capital do not reflect a taxable return of capital. 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).

Shareholder expense
As a shareholder of the Funds, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including upfront or deferred sales charges (loads) on purchases 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, 2015.
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 (inclusive of 12b-1 fees) are as follows:

Please note that the expenses do not reflect shareowner transaction costs such as front end or deferred sales charges. These fees are described for each Fund and share class in the “Commentaries and Performance Summaries” section of this report beginning on page 4. 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.
