International and emerging markets investing involves certain risks and increased volatility not associated with investing solely in the US. These risks include currency fluctuations, economic or financial instability, lack of timely or reliable financial information or unfavorable political or legal developments. The Funds may invest in securities issued by smaller companies which typically involve 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. Additional fund-specific risk is described in more detail in the Prospectus and Statement of Additional Information.
Investors should consider the investment objectives, risks, charges and expenses of a mutual fund carefully before investing. For a free Prospectus, which contains these items and other important information about the Funds, visit www.henderson.com. The Prospectus should be read carefully before investing.
Dear shareholder,
We are pleased to provide the annual report for the Henderson Global Funds, which covers the year ended July 31, 2015.
In our last shareholder letter, we wrote that there were positive global economic signs already emerging in 2015. Now, over halfway through the year, we have seen many of those positive signs continue, but we note that some negative data has begun to emerge as well.
On the positive side, European economies have been improving despite the headlines of an ongoing crisis in Greece. The tailwinds provided by a lower euro currency, cheaper oil and the European Central Bank’s quantitative easing program have provided a solid platform for recovery. European markets have also recently been buoyed by the news that the Greek government secured interim financing and agreed to a new bailout program with its creditors. Finally, positive signs such as improvements in Purchasing Managers’ Indices, auto and retail sales and bank lending are filtering down to the corporate level and have translated into higher earnings growth forecasts across Europe. After 210 weeks of consecutive earnings downgrades, Europe recently returned to seeing consensus earnings upgrades for the first time since March 2011.
Japanese markets have also moved forward in 2015 despite disappointing macro numbers, including a downturn in second quarter household spending and weaker manufacturing output. With the Bank of Japan continuing its comprehensive asset purchase program, Japanese equity markets remain the best performing dollar-adjusted market in 2015.
In the US, a healthy 223,000 jobs were added in June and the unemployment rate fell from 6.2% in July 2014 to 5.3% in July 2015. Improvements in the economy and the Federal Reserve’s official communications increased expectations for an interest rate hike in the near term.
On a more negative note, ongoing concern over the health of China’s economy has led to further declines in commodity prices, and the Chinese market overall has been weak. In fact, extreme volatility in the Chinese market recently prompted the Chinese government to intervene in an attempt to quell frenetic selling by retail investors. The government’s measures included suspending trading on over 50% of listed A-shares, banning short-sales and initial public offerings, and prohibiting major shareholders from selling their stakes.
The effect of China’s macroeconomic slowdown has significantly affected other emerging markets, both directly and through its impact on the price of major commodities. Many emerging market economies rely on revenues from commodity exports and there have been knock-on effects on currency and stock markets across Latin America, Africa and parts of Asia. Latin American markets generally have struggled in 2015, with Brazil particularly beset by low commodity prices and political scandal.
Looking forward, as the Greek debt crisis moves towards a full resolution, we believe diverging monetary policy and economic momentum will return as a dominant theme. Investors will be particularly interested in when, and how quickly, the Federal Reserve and Bank of England raise interest rates and the impact this will have on the global economy. The slowing of the emerging market business cycle will also be important, notably in local equity markets, commodities, and emerging market currencies.
At Henderson, we marked the three-year anniversaries of the All Asset Fund on March 30, 2015 and the Dividend & Income Builder Fund on August 1, 2015. We are also pleased to report that Henderson won the “Global Group of the Year” award1 at Investment Week’s 2015 Fund Manager of the Year Awards in the UK, in recognition of Henderson’s strong fund performance, its new brand and strategic acquisitions that widen the investment skillset. We appreciate your trust in, and support of, our Funds, and we look forward to serving your financial needs in the years to come.

President, Henderson Global Funds

Falling rates have driven a search for other sources of income
• | Government interest rates and fixed income yields have been on the decline worldwide since the financial crisis of 2008 due to slowing global growth and unprecedented global monetary policy, leaving investors with few options for high income sources |

• | On the other hand, dividends for global equities have been steadily rising and offer investors a diversified source for income with the potential for a much more attractive yield |

Further, in many markets we’re seeing dividend yields higher than corporate bond yields. For example, more than 50% of European companies have a dividend yield greater than their corporate bond yield.

Dividend growth outlook
2015 has been a strong year for dividend growth with the MSCI World Index as a whole forecasted to grow 6%. Regionally, Japan and the US are forecast to be the fastest countries for dividend growth with some companies growing dividends at double-digit rates. We have also seen an ongoing theme of companies returning cash via special dividends and share buybacks. Looking long-term, we remain encouraged by the prospects for dividend growth. Many sectors and countries, previously often outside the realm of dividend investors, have become more focused on consistently returning cash to shareholders.
Relative to other asset classes, dividend paying equities look attractively valued, particularly in a world where income is scarce; dividend yields are, in the majority of cases, above corporate bond yields with the added benefit that we believe those dividends are capable of growing.
It remains our view that the outlook for dividend paying equities is favorable - in particular those capable of generating sustained dividend growth backed by earnings and cash flow.

All Asset Fund
There are a number of macroeconomic forces that suggest 2016 will see the return of market volatility. We retain a positive view on equity markets relative to bonds in this environment; however, we expect the divergence in global monetary policy and growing pains in the major emerging market economies to provide plenty of potential pitfalls for increasingly macro-driven global markets.
While the declining oil price has been beneficial for many emerging economies, the fall in the price of broader commodity markets may begin to have a detrimental effect on growth in 2016. For those countries that rely heavily on raw material exports, the slowdown of the Chinese economy, coupled with an advancing US dollar, will likely dampen the demand for industrial inputs. The “China effect” is unlikely to be confined to emerging markets, as exports of luxury goods and automobiles from developed markets also come under pressure.
Monetary policy and geopolitics could potentially be the most important influence on markets over the next 12 months. Investors will be particularly interested in when, and how quickly, the Federal Reserve and Bank of England raise interest rates and the impact this will have on the global economy. In a rising interest rate environment, we retain a positive but watchful outlook on risk assets as

markets adapt to falling liquidity and increasing volatility. The pace of tightening and the subsequent effect on bond yields will be particularly significant.
For the year ended July 31, 2015, the Fund returned 1.94% (Class A at NAV) versus the benchmark, 3-month LIBOR (USD), which posted a return of 0.24%. Performance was largely driven by the allocation to equities, particularly in the US and Japan. The fixed income allocation was broadly flat while the allocation to property and private equity modestly added to performance.
Towards the end of the period, we took the opportunity to increase the Fund’s European equity exposure as uncertainty surrounding the Greek debt crisis began to abate. Our medium term view on Europe remains positive given the European Central Bank’s quantitative easing program; however, the increased threat of a Greek exit from the euro had severely damaged short-term investor sentiment and allowed us to increase the allocation at an attractive price.
The allocation to US Treasuries was also increased. The rationale behind the decision was two-fold: in the short-term, we believe that there is still sufficient uncertainty in the global macroeconomic environment to potentially delay the first Federal Reserve interest rate hike, while from a longer-term perspective, the position adds a degree of insurance should any of the current macroeconomic uncertainties develop into a more serious concern for global economic growth.
As the Greek debt crisis moves towards a full resolution, diverging monetary policy and economic momentum will return to the fore as a dominant theme. Investors will be particularly interested in the Federal Reserve Bank’s and Bank of England’s approach to interest rates and the impact this will have on the global economy. The slowing of the emerging market business cycle will also be important, notably in local equity markets, commodities, and emerging market currencies.

Performance data quoted represents past performance and is no guarantee of future results. Performance results with sales charges reflect the deduction of the maximum front-end sales charge or the deduction of the applicable contingent deferred sales charge (“CDSC”). Class A shares are subject to a maximum front-end sales charge of 5.75%. Class C shares are subject to a CDSC of up to 1% on certain redemptions made within 12 months of purchase. Performance presented at Net Asset Value (NAV), which does not include a sales charge, would be lower if this charge were reflected. NAV is the value of one share of the Fund excluding any sales charges. Performance quoted is based on the transacted NAV at each period end, which may differ from the US Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“GAAP”)-adjusted NAV and the total return presented in the Financial Highlights. 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 1.33%, 2.07% and 1.02%, 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 0.60% of the Fund’s average daily net assets, which is in effect until July 31, 2020. With respect to investments in affiliated underlying funds, the Fund’s adviser has contractually agreed to reduce or waive the Fund’s management fee to limit the combined management fees paid to the adviser for those assets to the greater of 1.00% or the affiliated underlying fund’s management fee. Indirect net expenses associated with the Fund’s investments in underlying investment companies are not subject to the contractual waiver. For the most recent month-end performance, please call 1.866.443.6337 or visit the Funds’ website at www.henderson.com.
Performance results also reflect expense subsidies and waivers in effect during periods shown. Absent these waivers, results would have been less favorable. All results assume the reinvestment of dividends and capital gains.
The investment comparison graph above reflects the change in value of a $10,000 hypothetical investment since the Fund’s inception, including reinvested dividends and distributions, compared to a broad based securities market index.

Dividend & Income Builder Fund
2015 has been a strong year (so far) for dividend growth. Many of the companies held in the portfolio have increased dividends, some substantially, in local currency terms. Globally, as measured by the MSCI World Index, dividends are forecast to grow 6% in 2015. Regionally, the US and Japan are forecast to have the most potential for dividend growth and we have seen this reflected in the portfolio, with companies such as NTT and Las Vegas Sands growing dividends at double digit rates. We have also seen an ongoing theme of companies returning cash via special dividends and share buybacks. Certain sectors, such as technology, and countries, such as Japan, typically outside the realm of dividend investors, have become more focused on consistently returning cash to shareholders.
For the year ended July 31, 2015, the Fund returned 3.81% (Class A at NAV) versus the benchmark, MSCI World Index, which posted a return of 5.49%. The Fund continued to meet its objectives for earning and distributing income over the period. Overall, the fixed income sub-portfolio was a negative contributor to returns. Performance relative to the equity benchmark was held back by a structural underweight to the US (where dividends are typically lower) as well as disappointing stock selection in Hong Kong. The Fund made gains in UK and Swiss holdings, particularly in the financials sector as well as in European telecommunications holdings.

Among the best performers at the stock level were tobacco firms Reynolds American and British American Tobacco, both of which reported better than expected results in which volumes were higher than expected. The largest individual detractor from performance was Tokyo Electron, a semiconductor equipment manufacturer, where the company lowered earnings guidance for the second half of the year as lower than expected personal computer sales have resulted in less demand for semiconductors.
In the equity allocation, the Fund continued to seek companies with both above-average yield and dividend growth. The equity allocation remained over 85% of the Fund, reflecting our current bias towards equities over bonds. In terms of the Fund’s positioning, the portfolio at the end of the period was underweight in some of the larger-yielding areas of the markets such as energy and mining stocks. Due to oversupply in many commodities and falling prices, we believe the pressure on free cash flow will reduce the dividends these companies may pay in the future. Another underweight sector is utilities, where again we see market pressures that may lead to dividend cuts.
In contrast, we continue to see opportunities and attractive investments in pharmaceutical companies. We have seen positive growth reported in both developed and emerging markets as well as some promising new drugs in the pipeline. We are also quite favorable towards European financial companies. Many have been rebuilding their capital levels from the credit crisis and we see the potential for higher dividends in the future.
In our view, the outlook for dividend paying companies remains favorable. Investors around the world are seeking income and the dividend yield of many companies has remained above their corporate bond yield. Equally, we see companies in a low growth environment increasingly paying free cash flow back to shareholders through special dividends, share buybacks and ordinary dividends.

Emerging Markets Fund
On March 31, 2015, the Fund’s management team was changed and many of the Fund’s holdings were turned over to match the new team’s global emerging markets process.
Over the period, emerging markets equities underperformed developed market equities. A sharp drop 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. The strength of the US dollar and expectations of rising US interest rates had a significant impact on emerging markets currencies. 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. The Asia-Pacific region has been dominated by volatility in China. A strong Chinese equity market rally was seen as the Chinese government stimulated the economy through interest rate and reserve requirement cuts to offset slowing economic growth. The Chinese government then attempted to restrict leveraged trading accounts to curb the stock market rally and there followed a sharp sell-off in Chinese equities.

For the year ended July 31, 2015, the Fund returned -12.42% (Class A at NAV) versus the benchmark, MSCI Emerging Markets Index, which posted a return of -13.07%. Over the period, the Fund’s overweight exposure to consumer staples led the positive returns. Our bias against the cyclical energy and materials sectors helped in a period that included a broad sell-off of emerging market assets. At the stock level, our developed world-listed holdings Unilever, SABMiller, PZ Cussons and Jeronimo Martins performed well, as did Mexican food producer Grupo Herdez. Brazilian stocks, Petrobras and Companhia Brasileira de Distribuicao, were among the main underperformers.
As a result of the change of fund manager towards the end of the period, and a consolidation of the multi-managed, geographic portfolio approach, there were significant adjustments made to the Fund’s positioning. Going forward, the team will take a bottom-up, long-term approach to investing, focusing on quality companies with proven track records, strong franchises and management teams with a history of integrity. From a portfolio perspective, this resulted in a reduction of the Fund’s exposure to Chinese financials, popular internet companies and Korea. These sales were offset by increases in exposure to privately owned Chilean companies and a number of developed world-listed businesses which have greater than 50% economic exposure to developing markets; these include Unilever PLC and Jeronimo Martins, a family controlled Portuguese company with two-thirds of its revenue generated in Poland.
Some quality emerging market companies have become considerably less popular than they once were. This follows a sustained period of poor stock and currency market performance relative to much of the developed world. As bottom-up stock pickers, we relish this opportunity to comb less popular markets for quality companies trading at reasonable valuations.

European Focus Fund
It was a volatile period for European equity markets where the general trend of European recovery was persistently tested by issues such as deflationary fears, slowing German growth and the re-emergence of a possible Greek exit from the euro. The prolonged negotiations between Greece and its creditors dominated headlines and eventually culminated in a deal. Reassuringly, there was little contagion and peripheral bond yields saw only a muted response. The precipitous fall in the price of oil weighed heavily on the energy sector; however, companies took heart from the prospect of lower prices, helping consumers and reducing costs for many industries (although being clearly bad for producers). Currency - in particular the volatility of the euro - played a significant role in market returns declining from a level around 1.33 versus the US Dollar at the start of the reporting period, to 1.04 by mid-March. The second quarter proved more stable in terms of currency moves and the euro / USD rate levelled out in the 1.10 - 1.15 range, proving resilient despite the ongoing Greek debt crisis.
Other notable events included the Swiss National Bank jettisoning its currency peg to the euro in January. The market correctly assumed that this was in readiness for the European Central Bank (ECB) finally delivering on the promise of formal quantitative easing (QE). Although the ECB announcement of QE in January was not a surprise, the scale of the program, in addition to the tailwinds of lower currency and oil prices, resulted in a larger than expected market impact.

Positive signs, such as improvements in Purchasing Managers’ Indices, auto and retail sales and bank lending, are filtering down to the corporate level and have translated into higher earnings growth forecasts. Europe recently returned to seeing consensus earnings upgrades for the first time since March 2011. Gross domestic product projections have been encouraging with France and Italy returning to growth while Spain looks to be the real growth story this year. An inflation improvement (from 0% to 1.3% next year) is a particularly positive sign as this allays fears of deflation and the concerns that Europe would follow the Japanese experience.
For the year ended July 31, 2015, the Fund returned 5.83% (Class A at NAV) versus the benchmark, MSCI Europe Index, which posted a return of -0.51%. The overweight exposure to the consumer discretionary sector drove returns with key stocks being Taylor Wimpey, Carnival Corp and Renault. Health care and industrial exposure was also beneficial as a result of investment in Teva Pharmaceutical, Indivior and AA.
While maintaining a bias towards ‘recovery’ positions, the overweight to the consumer discretionary sector has been reduced and we have been looking at selected stocks which have been ignored or discarded in favor of more recovery-like stocks. There have been opportunities presented by mergers and acquisition activity; for instance Nokia and the deal with Alcatel Lucent, and BG Group, which has been bid for by Royal Dutch Shell.
In terms of currency hedging, the euro hedge was reduced during the latter part of 2014 and subsequently closed in March. The sterling hedge that was introduced due to uncertainty over the outcome of May’s UK general election was closed following its comprehensive conclusion. The Fund was unhedged in its currency exposure at the period end.
A slowdown in asset flows to Europe would not be unexpected, but, given that profits are only just starting to recover, we do expect flows to continue to remain positive. Our view is that Europe’s economy will sustain a recovery with investors ultimately focusing once again on the weaker euro, lower oil price, as well as earnings recovery. We believe increased currency stability and the ECB’s QE program are helping to provide a positive environment for European equity progression.

Global Equity Income Fund
Global dividend growth has continued to be strong, with global dividends forecast to rise 6% in 2015. 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.
Inflation has reached record lows in many developed economies, with government bond yields remaining low as investors “price-in” monetary stimulus in Europe and delays to interest rate increases elsewhere. Therefore, we believe equities remain an attractive source of income for investors in many markets. In addition, over the long term, dividends and dividend growth have provided a significant portion of an investor’s total equity return.
For the year ended July 31, 2015, the Fund returned -0.21% (Class A at NAV) versus the benchmark, MSCI World Index, which posted a return of 5.49%. The Fund continued to meet its objectives for earning and distributing income over the period. The Fund’s structural underweight to low yielding markets such as the US and Japan were the main drivers of underperformance. The overweight to Hong Kong also detracted from performance. Over the period, the Fund had 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 UK holdings, which significantly outperformed the domestic indices there.
There has been 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 usage has been increasing and this creates the opportunity to increase revenue per customer. The Fund decreased exposure to energy and mining towards the end of 2014 as a result of the falling commodity price environment. Regionally we increased the allocation to Europe, nearly doubling the weighting from the end of 2014 to the end of the period. We are seeing improvement in the macro data from the region and corporations are benefitting from a low oil price, a cheap euro and the implementation of quantitative easing.
We continue to find dividend paying equities attractive; many companies have dividend yields above their corporate bond yields, forecasted dividend growth remains strong and companies are increasingly focused on returning cash back to shareholders via dividends and share buybacks. We believe the key in managing the Fund remains stock selection, and we continue to use a bottom-up selection process with a focus on balance sheet strength and cash generation. This allows us to avoid ‘value traps’ while striving to maintain a high yield in order to avoid dividends that are unsustainable or stocks that are overvalued.

Global Technology Fund
Global equity markets experienced high levels of volatility over the period. In the second half of 2014 there were fears over deflationary pressures in Europe, sluggish global growth and the possibility of Greece exiting the euro. The decline in commodity prices, particularly oil, played an important role in share price action and currency volatility played a significant role in market returns, although there was stabilization during the second quarter of 2015. Equity markets have made progress during 2015; however, there has been a significant disparity between developed and emerging market performance with market leadership shifting to Europe and Japan. US equities have been dull but the region has seen a strengthening in economic data. Volatility in Chinese equity markets has marred Asian and emerging market equities as a whole. Against this backdrop, the technology sector outperformed the wider market.
For the year ended July 31, 2015, the Fund returned 10.61% (Class A at NAV) versus the benchmark, the MSCI AC World Information Technology Index, which posted a return of 8.43%. The internet and information technology services sectors contributed positively to performance, while hardware was the main detractor. At the stock level, Netflix was an outperformer; the company reported a very encouraging quarter of growth in key metrics, with new subscriber additions above expectations both

domestically and internationally. Netease, a Chinese online game developer and publisher, outperformed following strong results and the company’s new mobile game, Fantasy Westward Journey, is now the number one mobile game in China. Amazon contributed positively to performance as the company reported strong growth in its North American business, and levels of profitability within its Web Services division continued to surprise the market. Personal computer-related stocks were generally weak. We continue to be positive on Apple but given that the Fund’s position is structurally underweight the benchmark, continued outperformance hurt the Fund’s performance and was the largest relative detractor versus the benchmark over the period.
Notable activity during the period included the purchase of a stake in Activision Blizzard, the video game developer, in light of its strong release slate. Positions were also added in security software providers Palo Alto Networks and Check Point Software Technologies in light of a strong security spend environment. A purchase was also made in EPAM Systems, the specialist high-tech IT services vendor, given its strong growth outlook, and we sold out of our position in Accenture as it hit our price target.
While further rounds of global quantitative easing are occurring, the uncertain economic environment continues to curtail capital spending, including technology expenditure. In addition, the strengthening Dollar is proving an increasing headwind for US technology companies. While we think technology stocks remain attractive relative to the overall market, these headwinds may mean that in the short-term they could struggle to outperform. Longer term, however, we believe the technology sector is attractive given its structurally higher earnings growth rate and strong balance sheets.

High Yield Opportunities Fund
The US high yield (HY) bond market was broadly flat over the period and underperformed most other fixed income asset classes such as loans, 10-year Treasuries and investment grade corporates. While Treasury yields dropped slightly over the period amid plenty of volatility, US HY spreads widened steadily. BB-rated bonds significantly outperformed CCC-rated bonds. Defensive industries such as healthcare and food and beverage significantly outperformed the cyclical commodity sectors, in particular energy, mining and metals. While overall default rates remain low at around 2% of the market, the energy, metals and mining sectors account for over 70% of the default volume. The majority of the volatility in the HY market over this time period can also be attributed to the energy, metals and mining sectors. Excluding these sectors, strategists estimate that HY bonds would have performed in line with leveraged loans over the 12-month period.
New issuance over the last twelve months has approximated a very healthy $350 billion. Just over $50 billion of this issuance was concentrated among 7 of the top 20 largest HY issues ever. We have noticed a changing trend in new issuance whereby proceeds are being diverted away from refinancing toward more aggressive uses such as leveraged buyouts and dividends. Roughly $78 billion of the new issuance total was non-US dollar issuance. We are experiencing a trend of increasing new issuance by non-US companies into the HY market.

For the year ended July 31, 2015, the Fund returned 1.19% (Class A at NAV) versus the benchmark, Bank of America Merrill Lynch US High Yield Master II Constrained Index, which posted a return of 0.17%. Over the period, the Fund benefitted from maintaining a higher quality bias within the lower rating tiers. While an underweight allocation to BB-rated bonds was maintained, the Fund outperformed on strong credit selection, an allocation to loans and an underweight stance in the energy sector. While the Fund incurred some losses in the energy sector, it benefitted from a higher quality bias in this space. The Fund’s best sector and company contributors were in defensive industries like healthcare and media, while the worst detractors were almost exclusively in the energy and mining segments.
After upgrading the credit quality of the portfolio during the fourth quarter of 2014, the Fund is positioned slightly below the benchmark with respect to credit risk as measured by yield, spread and weighted average credit rating. Within the energy sector, the underweight positioning has been gradually reduced by selectively adding higher quality exploration and production companies. We continue to remain underweight in the energy service and pipeline sectors.
We are also cautious on the metals and mining industry, including the steel sector, on a credit quality basis. We continue to view default risk in excess of consensus expectations (2-3%) as highly dependent on what happens in the energy space.
We continue to be selective in the new issue calendar as we are witnessing declining credit quality in the new issue market as measured by higher leverage, less robust covenants and smaller equity contributions in leveraged buyout deals. We are not seeing much value in the US leveraged loan market at the moment and have pared back our exposure.

International Long/Short Equity Fund
The Fund commenced operations 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 gross domestic product numbers. In emerging markets, weak economic data in China led to the first interest rate cut in two years as well as capital injections into the banking system.
Global equity markets have made progress during 2015; however, there has been significant disparity between developed and emerging market performance with market leadership shifting to Europe and Japan. European stock markets were underpinned by a larger than expected European Central Bank QE program, in addition to the tailwinds of a lower currency and oil price. Europe proved generally resilient in the face of the ongoing negotiations between Greece and its creditors and the region responded well after a deal was eventually reached. There has been a strengthening in economic data and emergence of investor confidence in Japan, which was the leading developed market over the period, helped by further yen weakness. Top-down and bottom-up structural

reforms are continuing and at the corporate level there is a focus on optimizing balance sheets and an increasing focus on corporate governance. Earnings upgrades for Japanese companies have been the strongest globally and we have finally started to see wages rise which has provided support to equities. The Asia Pacific region has been dominated by extreme volatility in China. A strong Chinese equity market rally was seen as the Chinese government stimulated the economy through interest rate and reserve requirement cuts to offset slowing economic growth. The Chinese government attempted to restrict leveraged trading accounts to curb the stock market rally and there followed a sharp sell-off in Chinese equities.
For the reporting period (since inception) ended July 31, 2015, the Fund returned 2.70% (class A at NAV) versus the benchmark, MSCI EAFE Index (US Hedged), which posted a return of 11.99%. The biggest overall drag on performance was the Asia Pacific strategy which was impacted most heavily by Tata Motors, Samsung Electronics and Baidu; all positions held on the long-book. The long-books of the remaining strategies - UK, Europe and Japan - all produced positive returns, and among the highlights were NMC Health, Nippon Telegraph and Telephone Corporation, Virgin Money and CK Hutchison. There were also positives from the short-books, in particular from the UK sub-portfolio’s short position in Afren, a company which has now gone into administration. However, all sub-portfolio short-books weighed on performance, with the UK and Japan strategies particularly impacted through positions such as Yamato Holdings, Taisei Corporation, and Quindell, which was the single largest stock specific drag to overall Fund performance.
We remain broadly positive on the outlook for equities. In this low inflation, low growth, low interest rate environment, equities have been offering attractive return opportunities. Various European tailwinds and the sustained political momentum behind the Japanese recovery are further positive signs. Heightened volatility means that stock selection remains key; however, we believe there remain many long and short investment opportunities from a bottom-up perspective.

International Opportunities Fund
Global equity market volatility was high throughout the period; the second half of 2014 was dominated by concerns over global growth, European deflation and re-emergence of a possible Greek exit from the euro. The decline in commodity prices, particularly oil, played an important role in share price action, leading most energy-related stocks down, and currency - in particular the volatility of the euro - played a significant role in market returns. However, the second quarter of 2015 proved more stable in terms of currency moves and the euro / USD exchange rate, which levelled out in the 1.10 - 1.15 range, proved resilient despite the ongoing Greek debt crisis.
Market leadership transferred to continental Europe and Japan during 2015. European stock markets were underpinned by a larger than expected European Central Bank quantitative easing program, in addition to the tailwinds of a lower currency and oil price. Encouragingly, Europe proved generally resilient in the face of the ongoing negotiations between Greece and its creditors, which eventually culminated in a deal. There was a strengthening in economic data and an emergence of investor confidence in Japan which was the leading developed market over the period, helped by further yen weakness. Top-down and bottom-up structural reforms are continuing in Japan; at the corporate level there is a focus on optimizing balance sheets and an increasing focus on corporate governance.

government stimulated the economy through interest rate and reserve requirement cuts to offset slowing economic growth. Authorities attempted to restrict leveraged trading accounts to curb the stock market rally and there followed a sharp sell-off in Chinese equities. Latin America has continued to weaken due to lower commodity prices and specific political issues.
For the year ended July 31, 2015, the Fund returned 6.30% (Class A at NAV) versus the benchmark, MSCI EAFE Index, which posted a return of 0.15%. Both European sub-portfolios and the Global Growth sub-portfolio produced strong absolute and relative returns; outweighing poor periods for the Japan and Asia sub-portfolios.
The positioning 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 Europe sub-portfolios and specifically the more cyclically-biased pan-European sub-portfolio due to the prospect of eventual growth and being conscious that the Fund was light versus the benchmark. There was a slight shift from the pan-European sub-portfolio to the Japan sub-portfolio in March to take profits after the market embraced European recovery and to take advantage of the spring round of Japanese wage negotiations.
In terms of currency hedging, the euro hedge was exited in January and the sterling hedge that had been introduced due to uncertainty over the outcome of the UK general election was removed after its comprehensive conclusion. The yen hedge was reduced but we have maintained a smaller position as an insurance against possible future moves by the Bank of Japan.
Despite a number of political and macroeconomic challenges, we remain broadly positive on the outlook for equities. In this low inflation, low growth, low interest rate environment, equities are offering attractive return opportunities. Various European tailwinds and the sustained political momentum behind the Japanese recovery are further positive signs. Heightened volatility moving into the second half of the year means that stock selection remains key; however, we believe there remain many investment opportunities from a bottom-up perspective.

International Select Equity Fund
Global equity markets started 2015 buoyed by strengthening economic data in the US and Japan, a pick-up in merger and acquisition activity and better-than-expected first quarter US earnings. Federal Reserve chair Janet Yellen caused jitters with her comments that “equity-market valuations at this point generally are quite high” and also that bond yields could “see a sharp jump” when they start to raise rates. By June, however, the prospect of Greece defaulting on its debt and possibly exiting from the Eurozone led to markets correcting sharply. Japan delivered the strongest return of the developed markets aided by further yen weakness. Further, structural reforms are continuing in Japan with corporations making headway in optimizing their balance sheets. Earnings revisions for both Japan and the Eurozone are in positive territory.
Despite European volatility, the US market made gains over the period, supported by strong housing, credit and jobs data, although consumer data remained subdued. Within emerging markets, the Chinese stock market roller-coaster took a sharp dive following its strong rally since the middle of 2014. The Chinese government made multiple attempts to halt the negative trend in the Chinese stock market, with limited success.
The Fund commenced operations on September 30, 2014. For the reporting period (since inception) ended July 31, 2015, the Fund returned 7.70%

(Class A at NAV) versus the benchmark, MSCI EAFE Index, which posted a return of 4.15%. By region, the UK and Australia were the strongest performers. By sector, positive stock selection was more dominant in the materials and consumer staples sectors. At the stock level, notable performance came from Tsuhurha Holdings, ITV and Teva Pharmaceuticals. Ebara, a Japanese pump manufacturer, showed disappointing returns as the oil price decline put pressure on the company, although its business is more downstream focused. These losses were in recovery at the end of the period as Ebara benefitted from a rise in the oil price.
We continue to focus on companies that may be mis-valued by the market and undergoing a significant change. New positions added towards the end of the period included: BMW (German auto manufacturer) and Cognizant Technology (global IT outsourcing company). BMW is attractive as we believe investors are not paying attention to multiple longer-term growth prospects for the auto maker including underexploited pricing power, peaking capital expenditure, improving productivity, and US dollar foreign exchange exposure. Cognizant’s strategic direction is shifting away from IT-outsourcing towards business process-outsourcing and the development of platforms. We think the current valuation is discounting a sharper fade in returns than we forecast. We believe a “sticky” customer base and the firm’s customer acquisition policy of ‘penetrate and radiate’ is effective.
While there are increasing signs of economic growth across Europe, a possible Greek exit from the euro has rattled nerves. Though European banks are certainly better capitalized than a few years ago, it is the unknown linkages with banks’ home economies and the prospect of contagion to other austerity-stricken countries that investors fear the most. Should authorities be able to navigate a smooth transition either way, then we would expect markets to recover strongly.

Strategic Income Fund
The backdrop for government bond markets remained constructive during the period driven by the twin forces of low global growth and inflation. This triggered the announcement of quantitative easing in Europe and rate cuts in other developed and emerging markets. In contrast, the Federal Reserve remained more focused on falling unemployment and signaled it was considering rate hikes in the autumn of 2015. Such a divergent monetary policy backdrop between the US and the rest of the world catalyzed the US dollar in what was a remarkable appreciation. In contrast, credit markets in the US suffered considerably as spreads widened in both investment grade and high yield markets while European corporate bond markets proved more robust. Hence, it was government bonds rather than credit spreads which boosted capital returns across bond markets.
For the year ended July 31, 2015, the Fund returned 3.71% (Class A at NAV) versus the benchmark, 3-month LIBOR (USD), which posted a return of 0.24%. Contribution across all asset classes was positive reflecting the overall strength of fixed income markets. Turning to security attribution, it was the long-dated financial bonds which performed particularly well. Standard corporate investment grade bonds also performed well. There were only a couple notable corporate bond underperformers, one being Iceland, a supermarket chain which suffered from heightened competition in the UK, and the other being Towergate Insurance where we took a small loss in order to get

out of bonds which eventually fell to much lower levels and defaulted. Overall, bond selection was a strong contributor to performance, mostly attributed to troubled sectors such as energy, mining and emerging markets being avoided entirely.
A number of macroeconomic trends continue to drive the construction of the Fund. Firstly, the global backdrop remains one of low growth and low inflation with the recent pronounced slowdown across emerging markets only exacerbating these trends. As a result we remain constructive on most government bond markets and view any rate hikes in the US and UK as more of a token policy adjustment than a rate-hiking cycle to be feared. Our approach to corporate bonds in this environment is to focus on income return and to exercise caution by lending to large non-cyclical high yield rated businesses. New high yield deals have been well received but the new issue premium is waning. We remain very selective when considering new deals as we perceive it to be somewhat late in an elongated credit cycle. In addition, we continue to favor the banking and insurance industries, which, although cyclical, are becoming heavily regulated to the benefit of bondholders.
We have become more concerned about credit risk recently, noting the significant pickup in distressed bonds in the US high yield market (and to a lesser extent Europe) across a range of sectors. In addition, the widening in US investment grade credit spreads is primarily a result of an excessive supply of bonds being issued to fund mergers and acquisitions and share buybacks, which in itself is a reliable late cycle indicator albeit again mainly an issue for the US market and not Europe. As a result we continue to take a relatively cautious approach to credit selection and run an elevated cash balance. In contrast, we believe the outlook for government bond yields has improved as a result of the deflationary global forces in motion and any rate hikes in the US and the UK in this context are likely to prove limited.

** Class I shares commenced operations on April 29, 2011. The performance for Class I shares for the period prior to April 29, 2011 is based on the performance of Class A shares. Performance for Class I shares would be similar because the shares are invested in the same portfolio of securities and have the same portfolio management. Class I shares are not subject to a front-end sales charge or a distribution fee.
Performance data quoted represents past performance and is no guarantee of future results. Performance results with sales charges reflect the deduction of the maximum front-end sales charge or the deduction of the applicable contingent deferred sales charge (“CDSC”). Class A shares are subject to a maximum front-end sales charge of 4.75%. Class B shares are subject to a CDSC, which declines from 5% the 1st year to 0% at the beginning of the 7th year. 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. Performance quoted is based on the transacted NAV at each period end, which may differ from the US Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“GAAP”)-adjusted NAV and the total return presented in the Financial Highlights. 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, B, C and I shares are 1.36%, 2.16%, 2.12% and 1.08%, 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 will remain in effect until July 31, 2020.

Unconstrained Bond Fund
The period was characterized by a substantial rise in government bond prices (fall in yields) across developed markets through April 2015, after which a significant reversal occurred. The halving in the price of oil during the second half of 2014 saw expectations of inflation (and therefore prospects for interest rate increases in the US and UK) scaled back materially, and consequently government bonds rallied. European government bond prices were also driven substantially higher as the European Central Bank signaled that it would commence full blown quantitative easing in March 2015. In early April, 10-year German government bonds reached a yield trough of 0.07% with approximately two-thirds of outstanding German government debt having a negative effective yield which was unprecedented in the history of major bond markets. Investment grade corporate bond prices also rallied during this bull market period, on the coat tails of government bonds, although significant supply of new corporate bonds hampered relative performance. High yield corporate bonds provided more mixed returns. The US high yield market suffered from its large exposure to the energy sector where the collapsing oil price (and other commodities) negatively impacted company profits and creditworthiness. In European high yield, the minimal exposure to the energy sector and demand from investors faced with negative bank deposit rates and minimal yield on government bonds resulted in stronger relative performance.

For the year ended July 31, 2015, the Fund returned -0.23% (Class A at NAV) versus the benchmark, 3-month LIBOR (USD), which posted a return of 0.24%. The Fund benefitted from its significant holdings of investment grade and European high yield corporate bonds. However, the absence of government bond holdings (outside of Italian inflation-linked debt and sensitivity to Mexican government bonds) meant that the Fund did not benefit strongly from the bull market. The decision to maintain the overall interest rate exposure (duration) of the Fund at relatively low levels was also a detractor to returns. In particular, interest rate strategies expecting to benefit from higher government bond yields, a rise in long-term inflation expectations and steeper yield curves (long maturity bonds to underperform those of short maturity) detracted.
In currencies, the US dollar rose versus most major competitors, with the move against the euro being particularly noteworthy. The Fund benefitted materially from currency positioning, holding a positive view on the US dollar for much of the year, against negative views on the euro, the New Zealand dollar, sterling and the Japanese yen.
We remain cautious on government bond markets and seek to position the Fund with low interest rate sensitivity (duration). The asset allocation of the Fund remains more heavily weighted to corporate bonds and floating rate asset-backed securities, with exposure to government bond markets limited to issuers such as Italy and Mexico. Based on our belief that the US economy is performing robustly and closer to normalizing monetary policy than other developed market central banks, we continue to position the Fund in an effort to benefit from a stronger US dollar.

US Growth Opportunities Fund
The Fund commenced operations on December 18, 2014. During the period, US equity markets continued to trend higher with growth-biased and small cap equities leading the way. Small cap growth companies (as measured by the Russell 2000 Growth Index) outperformed large cap growth companies (as measured by the Russell 1000 Growth Index) by 2.69%. Weaker global growth and a strengthening US dollar put pressure on multinational corporations as evidenced by the relative weakness in large cap stocks versus small cap. With the majority of small companies’ revenue based in the US, this provided a tailwind and helped small cap equities outperform the broader US market. The Fund’s unconstrained strategy with respect to US equities allows for investment across the market cap spectrum. At the end of the period, the Fund was overweight small and mid cap equities relative to the benchmark; this overweight allocation contributed positively to performance.
Last year, investors tended to overlook the fundamentals of high quality growth companies (rated B+ or better as defined by S&P), focusing instead on low quality companies (rated B or worse). Recently, investors have allocated capital away from these low quality companies and have rewarded companies which have exhibited fiscal prudence, stable earnings and organic growth. These characteristics of sustainable growth and fiscal conservatism, form the foundation of the Fund’s investment philosophy.

For the reporting period (since inception) ended July 31, 2015, the Fund returned 11.90% (Class A at NAV) versus the benchmark, Russell 3000 Growth Index, which posted a return of 7.56%. Performance was led by strong stock selection as well as the Fund’s structural bias to high quality companies.
Stock selection in consumer discretionary companies, such as Starbucks and Under Armour, was the greatest contributor to performance. Starbucks’ stock price increased approximately 45% over the period as a result of improved employee training, offering new breakfast items, lower coffee prices and an increase in their mobile app usage. Under Armour beat earnings and reported sales growth of 29%. Also, the company plans to increase marketing spend in the third quarter to take advantage of the momentum behind their athletes (Steph Curry, Jordan Spieth and Misty Copeland). The largest detractors over the period came from consumer staples company TreeHouse Foods and producer durables company Genesee & Wyoming. TreeHouse Foods missed earnings on revenue, attributing weakness in single serve coffee as the reason for the underperformance. Genesee & Wyoming was down over 18% during the period reflecting broader weakness in the transportation sector. Additionally, stock selection within the technology sector, particularly EMC Corporation, detracted from performance.
In the near to medium term we expect the rally in high quality companies to continue; however, we are conscious of possible volatility from geopolitical events, especially Greece, and potential unanticipated actions of the Federal Reserve. On balance, these markets are ones in which active management and investing in high quality, growth companies are rewarded. We maintain our investment philosophy to identify and select companies that are capable of generating consistent revenue and earnings growth. We are encouraged by the ongoing improvement of the US economy and optimistic that investors will continue to be rewarded by companies that have the potential to deliver strong, sustainable growth.

The total net change in unrealized appreciation (depreciation) attributable to Level 3 investments held at July 31, 2015 was $150,174.
The Fund’s Adviser 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 with 45 days written notice 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 a diversified portfolio of real property assets. As a result, the monthly valuations prepared by 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 by CPF 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, and ultimately the value ascribed to All Asset Fund’s limited partnership interests in CPF.
Due to the factors above, and as approved by the Valuation Committee of the Board of Trustees, the All Asset Fund values this investment monthly upon receipt of the limited partner statement and in line with the capital balance allocated to its limited partnership interests, less the undistributed net income accrued within the capital balance. Separately, a daily income accrual is recognized by the Fund to account for the net income that is accrued and allocated to its limited partnership interests and distributed quarterly. The value assigned to the investment is revised monthly upon receipt of the limited partner statement. The value may be revised more frequently if, in the determination of the Adviser and Valuation Committee, market or investment-specific developments warrant re-assessment.

* Fund held a level 3 security that was fair valued at $0 at July 31, 2015.
On July 31, 2014, substantially all of the common stocks held by the Fund in the Asian and Australian markets were fair valued using the independent statistical fair value pricing service as described in Note 2 in accordance with the fair value pricing procedures approved by the Board, and were therefore valued using Level 2 inputs. On July 31, 2015, substantially all of the common stocks in the Fund were valued at the last reported sale price or official closing price as the Trust’s fair value pricing procedures did not require the use of the independent statistical fair value pricing service. Accordingly, using the end of the reporting period method for determining when transfers between levels are recognized, common stocks valued at $755,840 on July 31, 2015 were transferred from Level 2 to Level 1.

The total net change in unrealized appreciation (depreciation) attributable to Level 3 investments held at July 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 its 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, and may be subject to contractual and legal restrictions on sale. Bank loan interests in the Fund’s portfolio generally have variable rates that 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) | | 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 July 31, 2015, the restricted securities held by the Fund had an aggregate value of $16,774,632, which represented 66.5% of net assets. |
(d) | | This investment was segregated for open swap contracts and delayed delivery purchases at July 31, 2015. |
(e) | | Variable or floating rate interest rate security. Includes fixed-to-floating rate corporate bond securities that currently pay a fixed coupon that will move to a floating rate coupon if the bond is not redeemed at the call date. Rate presented represents rate at July 31, 2015. |

On July 31, 2014, substantially all of the common stocks held by the Fund in the Asian and Australian markets were fair valued using the independent statistical fair value pricing service as described in Note 2 in accordance with the fair value pricing procedures approved by the Board, and were therefore valued using Level 2 inputs. On July 31, 2015, substantially all of the common stocks in the Fund were valued at the last reported sale price or official closing price as the Trust’s fair value pricing procedures did not require the use of the independent statistical fair value pricing service. Accordingly, using the end of the reporting period method for determining when transfers between levels are recognized, common stocks valued at $556,653,971 on July 31, 2015 were transferred from Level 2 to Level 1.

(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 July 31, 2015, the restricted securities held by the Fund had an aggregate value of $22,401,362, which represented 13.3% of net assets. |

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 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. Implied credit spreads 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 cash flows are exchanged based on a variable interest rate. At maturity, or upon reset or termination, a net cash flow is exchanged equivalent to the return, inclusive of dividends declared, on the underlying equity.
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
186
Notes to financial statements |
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 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 July 31, 2015, notional outstanding for credit protection sold, translated into US Dollar amounts, equated to $250,000 for the High Yield Opportunities Fund, $109,825 for the Strategic Income Fund and $54,913 for the Unconstrained Bond Fund. Alternatively, under an interest rate, inflation, or equity 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. The updates have 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 July 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 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, 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, JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. and Morgan Stanley Capital Services LLC 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.

Notes to financial statements |
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, 2015 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 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 with respect to discriminatory taxation, and based on relative exposure, the European Focus Fund, Global Equity Income Fund, Global Technology Fund and International Opportunities Fund pursued additional reclaims related to prior years in certain jurisdictions in accordance with European Union law. However, the relevant tax authorities and the administrative courts within the various jurisdictions have been, to date, inconsistent in the approach, interpretation and rulings related to US RIC claimants. As a result, with the exception of reclaims in Finland, consistent with US GAAP accrual requirements, these Funds have not recorded a corresponding receivable amount for these reclaim filings given the significant uncertainty in their ultimate recovery. In Finland, however, the Funds received confirmation from the Finnish tax authority that the reclaims lodged for previously withheld amounts from 2009-2013 were accepted, and payment, plus interest, was made to the Funds in June 2015. The payments, recognized on the Statements of Operations as a reduction of current period withholding tax expense, resulted in an increase in the net asset value of each Fund. Absent formal guidance, it is management’s approach to offset the current period foreign tax credit with these payments.
As of July 31, 2015, the total amount of additional reclaims being pursued in France, Germany, Spain and Sweden with respect to withholdings amounts during the respective statute of limitations periods (generally 2009-2013) represent less
188
Notes to financial statements |
than 0.50% of the net assets of European Focus, Global Equity Income and International Opportunities; however, the recovery of any or all of these amounts and timing of recovery, if any, is uncertain. The total amount of potential 2014 reclaims in the same jurisdictions represent less than 0.25% of the net assets of the three above named Funds. Management is pursuing reclaim of 2014 Finnish amounts in each of the three above named Funds, and is contemplating further filings in the other listed jurisdictions. However, due to the relative uncertainty of success, no additional accruals have been recognized for potential refunds.
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:

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.
Accordingly, at July 31, 2015, the Funds reclassified the following amounts between paid-in capital, accumulated undistributed net investment income (loss) and accumulated net realized gain (loss):
| | | Paid-in capital | | Accumulated undistributed net investment income/(loss) | | | Accumulated net realized gain/(loss) | |
All Asset | | $ | – | | $ | 343,743 | | $ | (343,743 | ) |

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 |
192
Notes to financial statements |
| • | 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 July 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,” or “Adviser”) 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.

* | Prior to July 1, 2015, the management fee tiers on the average daily net assets of the Fund were: 1.00% on the first $2 billion, 0.90% on the next $1 billion, 0.80% on the next $1 billion and 0.70% on any amounts over $4 billion. |
** | Based on average daily managed assets of the Fund. Managed assets mean the total assets of the Fund (including any assets attributable to any leverage that may be outstanding) minus the sum of accrued liabilities (other than debt representing financial leverage). Since the Fund pays HGINA based on the Fund’s average daily managed assets, HGINA’s fee will be higher if the Fund is leveraged. |
HGINA has engaged Henderson Investment Management Limited (“HIML”) 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 make investment decisions regarding assets of the Funds subject to the oversight of the Board of Trustees 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 management fee and, if necessary, to reimburse expenses of each Fund in order to limit total annual ordinary operating expenses, including distribution and service fees, but excluding any acquired fund fees and expenses as a result of investing in other funds, 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. |
** | Dividends and interest expense on securities sold short are excluded from the expense limitation calculation. |
These agreements will remain in effect through July 31, 2020 unless otherwise extended or amended.
Shares of the Funds are often purchased through financial intermediaries who are agents of the Funds for the limited purpose of completing purchases and sales. These intermediaries may provide certain networking and sub-transfer agent services with respect to Fund shares held by that intermediary for its customers, and the intermediary may charge HGINA for those services. The Funds reimburse HGINA for such fees within limits specified by the Board of Trustees. The fees are incurred at the class level based on activity, asset levels and/or number of accounts and are included in “Sub-accounting fees” in the Statements of Operations.
At July 31, 2015, both HGINA and HGI Group Limited, another indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of Henderson Group plc, owned shares in the following Funds. Significant ownership percentages in International Long/Short Equity, International Select Equity and Unconstrained Bond are the result of the initial investments necessary to facilitate commencement of operations and will be redeemed as external shareholders subscribe to the Funds.

The aggregate cost and value of affiliates at July 31, 2015 is $7,173,361 and $7,271,314, respectively. Investments in affiliates represented 11.81% of total net assets of the All Asset Fund as of July 31, 2015.
Note 5. Compensation of trustees and officers
Certain officers and Trustees of the Trust are also officers of HGINA. None of the Trust’s officers, other than the Chief Compliance Officer, are compensated by the Trust. The Trust makes no direct payments to Trustees affiliated with HGINA. Fees paid to Trustees are reflected as Trustees’ fees and expenses in the Statements of Operations.
Prior to January 1, 2015, the Funds bore only a portion of the compensation paid to the Chief Compliance Officer who performs services directly related to the Trust. Subsequent to January 1, 2015, the Funds bear the full compensation. This compensation, together with other compliance-related costs, is reflected as “Compliance officer fees” in the Statements of Operations.
Note 6. Distribution plan
The Trust has adopted a distribution plan for Class A, Class B, Class C and Class R shares of the Funds in accordance with Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act (the “12b-1 Plan”). Under the 12b-1 Plan, the Funds pay the distributor an annual fee of 0.25% of the average daily net assets attributable to its Class A shares, an annual fee of 1.00% of the average daily net assets attributable to its Class B and C shares, and an annual fee of 0.50% of the average daily net assets attributable to its Class R shares. The 12b-1 Plan is used to induce or compensate financial intermediaries (including brokerage firms, depository institutions and other firms) to provide distribution services to the Funds and their shareholders.
Note 7. Investment transactions
Purchases and sales of investment securities, including proceeds from securities sold short but excluding short-term investments, financial derivatives instruments and US government securities, for the Funds for the year ended July 31, 2015, were as follows:

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
195
Notes to financial statements |
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 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 with State Street Bank and Trust Company to facilitate portfolio liquidity. Interest is charged to each Fund based on its borrowings at a rate per annum equal to the higher of the Federal Funds rate or 1 Month LIBOR plus 1.25%. In addition, a commitment fee of 0.20% per annum is accrued and apportioned among the Funds in the Trust based on relative average net assets (prior to June 19, 2015, the commitment fee was 0.10%). 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 year ended July 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.
In May 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-07 Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820): Disclosures for Investments in Certain Entities That Calculate Net Asset Value per Share (or Its Equivalent). Topic 820, Fair Value Measurement, permits a reporting entity, as a practical expedient, to measure the fair value of certain investments using the net asset value per share of the investment; however, categorization within the fair value hierarchy based upon redemption characteristics has been diverse. The Update removes the requirement to categorize within the fair value hierarchy all investments for which fair value is measured using the net asset value per share practical expedient and instead requires these investments to be separately disclosed. The amendments are effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2015 and interim periods within those fiscal years, though early adoption is permitted. At this time, management is evaluating the implications of these changes on the financial statements.

Report of independent registered public accounting firm |
The Board of Trustees and Shareholders
Henderson Global Funds
We have audited the accompanying statements of assets and liabilities, including the portfolios of investments, of the Henderson Global Funds, comprising, respectively, Henderson All Asset Fund, Henderson Dividend & Income Builder Fund, Henderson Emerging Markets 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), as of July 31, 2015, and the related statements of operations, cash flows for Henderson International Long/Short Equity Fund, changes in net assets and the financial highlights for the periods indicated therein. These financial statements and financial highlights are the responsibility of the Funds’ management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and financial highlights based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements and financial highlights are free of material misstatement. We were not engaged to perform an audit of the Funds’ internal control over financial reporting. Our audits included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Funds’ internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements and financial highlights, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of July 31, 2015, by correspondence with the custodian and brokers or by other appropriate auditing procedures where replies from brokers were not received. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements and financial highlights referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of each of the respective Funds constituting the Henderson Global Funds at July 31, 2015, the results of their operations, cash flows of Henderson International Long/Short Equity Fund, changes in their net assets, and their financial highlights for the periods indicated therein in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

Approval of continuation of investment advisory agreements
The Board of Trustees of Henderson Global Funds oversees the management of the Funds and, as required by law, the investment advisory and the sub-advisory agreements for the Funds (the “Advisory Agreements”). In connection with their annual consideration of those agreements for the 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 (the “Sub-Adviser”) in response to detailed requests of the Independent Trustees and their independent legal counsel (the Adviser, Sub-Adviser and their affiliates may be referred to herein collectively as “Henderson”). The Trustees also discussed with representatives of management the operations of the Funds and the nature, extent and quality of the advisory and other services provided to the Funds by the Adviser and the Sub-Adviser. The Independent Trustees also received and reviewed a memorandum from their counsel regarding their responsibilities in considering the continuation of 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 Advisory Agreements, and they also met separately in executive session with their counsel several times.
May 15, 2015 Meeting
At a meeting held on May 15, 2015, the Trustees reviewed and analyzed various factors that they determined were relevant, including the factors described below.
Nature, extent and quality of services
The Independent Trustees reviewed the various reports and presentations they had received in connection with their evaluation of the nature, extent and quality of services provided under the Advisory Agreements by the Adviser and Sub-Adviser, and considered the services performed by the Adviser and Sub-Adviser, as well as their expertise, resources and capabilities. The Trustees also considered the nature, extent and quality of the services provided to the Funds by the Adviser and the Sub-Adviser (in the case of Sub-Advised Funds), taking into account the investment objective(s) and strategies of each Fund and the knowledge they had gained throughout the year from their regular and special meetings. In addition, the Trustees reviewed the resources and key personnel of the Adviser and the Sub-Adviser, especially the personnel who provide investment management services to the Funds. Management provided an update on the Adviser and its parent company, and reviewed the Adviser’s capabilities, resources and financial condition. Management also reviewed the Adviser’s investment approach for the Funds and the qualifications of the Funds’ respective portfolio management teams. Management then discussed the personnel responsible for performing services for the Funds.
The Trustees considered the methodology the Adviser and the Sub-Adviser use 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. Management reviewed certain changes in personnel, as well as the capacity of each of the Fund’s portfolio managers.
The Trustees also considered other services provided to the Funds by the Adviser and the Sub-Adviser (in the case of Sub-Advised Funds), such as managing the execution of portfolio transactions and the selection of broker-dealers for those transactions, monitoring adherence to the Funds’ investment restrictions, producing shareholder reports, providing support services for the Trustees and committees of the Board and overseeing the activities of other service providers, including monitoring compliance with various policies and procedures of the Funds and with applicable securities laws and regulations. The Trustees considered sub-transfer agency, networking and revenue sharing fees provided to intermediaries, as well as the fees associated with different types of distribution platforms.

Investment performance and fees
The Independent Trustees reviewed the investment performance of the Funds. The Independent Trustees considered, in particular, the detailed reports and analyses performed and compiled by an independent third party, Lipper Inc. (the “Lipper Report”) and that show, for each Fund and for various periods, total return performance data ranked within a peer group and a larger comparative universe of funds. In addition, the Independent Trustees considered the expense rankings and quintiles tables, contractual management fees at common asset levels and at various asset levels, expense ratios and various other fees and expenses data and supporting information contained within the Lipper Report.
The Trustees also reviewed the performance and expenses of each Fund, including comparative and percentile ranking information in the Lipper Report.
Other Benefits to the Adviser
The Trustees also considered benefits that accrue to the Adviser and the Sub-Adviser (in the case of Sub-Advised Funds) from their relationship with the Funds and their use of commissions paid on portfolio brokerage transactions of the Funds to obtain research products and services benefiting the Funds and/or other clients.
June 11, 2015 Meeting
At a meeting held on June 11, 2015, it was noted that the Board had met previously in-person on May 15, 2015 to review annual contract renewal related materials. The representatives of the Adviser indicated that the purpose of the June 11, 2015 meeting was to review certain additional information that had not been provided at the May 15, 2015 meeting.
Costs of services provided and the profits realized by Henderson and its affiliates from their relationships with the funds
In considering the reasonableness of investment management fees, the Independent Trustees considered the profitability of Henderson and its affiliates in connection with Henderson providing investment management services to each Fund, as well as the methodology that Henderson utilized to calculate profitability by Fund.
The Trustees also reviewed the financial information related to the Adviser’s parent company and its corporate structure. The Trustees recognized that profitability comparisons among fund managers are difficult because very little comparative information is publicly available, and the profitability of any manager is affected by numerous factors, including the organizational structure of the particular manager, the types of funds and other accounts it manages, possible other lines of business, the methodology for allocating expenses and the manager’s capital structure and cost of capital.
Economies of scale
The Independent Trustees considered the economies of scale that might be realized by the Adviser as a Fund grows and took note of the extent to which Fund shareholders might also benefit from such growth. In this connection, it was observed that the fee schedules for each Fund, with the exception of the All Asset Fund, include various pre-established “breakpoints” in investment management fees that are triggered as a Fund’s net asset level increases. Representatives of management detailed a proposal to add additional breakpoints for the International Opportunities Fund. The Trustees reviewed each Fund’s current fees, asset levels, performance, capacity and outlook. The Independent Trustees noted that based on the receipt of information showing the breakpoints, at the current time, it appears that such breakpoints satisfactorily provide for sharing economies of scale, as they allow for adequate opportunity for shareholders to realize benefits (fee breaks) as Fund assets grow. With respect to the All Asset Fund, although the Fund’s fee schedule does not include breakpoints, the Independent Trustees considered the Adviser’s view that an appropriately structured advisory fee and/or total expense limitation can provide an acceptable sharing of economies of scale as a substitute for a breakpoint in the advisory fee. In this regard, the Independent Trustees discussed the Adviser’s expense limitation agreement with respect to the All Asset Fund.
June 17, 2015 Meeting
At a meeting held on June 17, 2015, it was noted that the Board had met previously in-person on May 15, 2015 and June 11, 2015 to review annual contract renewal related materials. The representatives of the Adviser indicated that there had not been any material changes to the information that had been provided for the May 15, 2015 and June 11, 2015 meetings.
199
Other information (unaudited) |
Based on their evaluation of the information provided by the Adviser and the Sub-Adviser and other information, the Trustees determined that the overall arrangements between each Fund and the Adviser and Sub-Adviser were fair and reasonable in light of the nature, extent and quality of the services provided by the Adviser and the Sub-Adviser (in the case of the Sub-Advised Funds), the fees charged for those services, and other matters that the Trustees considered relevant in the exercise of their business judgment. In making that determination, the Trustees reviewed and considered various factors that they determined were relevant, including the factors described below, none of which by itself was considered paramount or dispositive and each Trustee may have weighed the information differently.
Nature, extent and quality of services
The Trustees reviewed and considered the nature, extent and quality of the services provided to the Funds by the Adviser and the Sub-Adviser (in the case of the Sub-Advised Funds), taking into account the investment objective(s) and strategies of each Fund and the knowledge they had gained from their May 15, 2015 and June 11, 2015 meetings and their regular meetings with management on at least a quarterly basis. The Trustees concluded that the nature and extent of the services provided to each Fund by the Adviser and the Sub-Adviser (in the case of Sub-Advised Funds) were appropriate and consistent with the terms of the Advisory Agreements, that the quality of those services had been consistent with quality norms in the industry and that the Funds were likely to benefit from the continued provision of those services. They also concluded that the Adviser and the Sub-Adviser (in the case of Sub-Advised Funds) had sufficient personnel with the appropriate education and experience to serve the Funds effectively, and had demonstrated their continuing ability to attract and retain well-qualified personnel.
Performance and fees
The Trustees considered their extensive review and discussion at the May 15, 2015 meeting of each Fund’s investment performance over various time periods in comparison to information for other comparable funds as provided by Lipper. They concluded that the performance of each Fund met or exceeded acceptable levels or it was satisfied with the steps taken by management to improve investment performance. The Trustees considered their prior review of information on the fees and other expenses paid by each Fund in comparison to information for other comparable funds as discussed at the May 15, 2015 meeting. The Trustees also had reviewed the management fees of the Adviser and the Sub-Adviser for certain affiliated funds. The Trustees reviewed information on the profitability of (or loss) to the Adviser of its relationships with each Fund and concluded that the Adviser’s profitability level with respect to each Fund in relation to the services rendered was not unreasonable. Finally, the Trustees considered the financial condition of the Adviser and the Sub-Adviser. The Trustees concluded that the management fees and other compensation payable by each Fund to the Adviser, as well as the fees paid by the Adviser to the Sub-Adviser, were reasonable in relation to the nature, extent and quality of the services provided, taking into account the fees charged by other advisers for managing comparable mutual funds with similar strategies and the fees the Adviser and the Sub-Adviser charge to other clients. The Trustees also concluded that the overall expense ratio of each Fund was reasonable, taking into account the size of the Fund, the quality of services provided by the Adviser and the Sub-Adviser (in the case of the Sub-Advised Funds), the investment performance of the Fund and the expense limitations agreed to by the Adviser.
Economies of scale
The Trustees received and considered information about the potential of the Adviser to experience economies of scale as the assets of the Funds increase and took note of the extent to which Fund shareholders might also benefit from such growth. In this connection, the Trustees took into account that the fee schedules for each Fund, with the exception of the All Asset Fund, include various pre-established breakpoints in advisory fees that are triggered as a Fund’s net asset level increases. The Trustees also took into account management’s proposed changes to the breakpoint schedule for the International Opportunities Fund, which would have the effect of reducing the advisory fee paid by that Fund to the Adviser. Based on all of the information they reviewed, the Trustees concluded that the advisory fee breakpoints satisfactorily provide for sharing economies of scale, as they allow for adequate opportunity for shareholders to realize benefits (fee breaks) as Fund assets grow. With respect to the All Asset Fund, although the Fund’s fee schedule does not include breakpoints, the Trustees took into account the Adviser’s expense limitation agreement with respect to the All Asset Fund.
Other benefits to the adviser
The Trustees also considered benefits that accrue to the Adviser and the Sub-Adviser (in the case of Sub-Advised Funds) from their relationship with the Funds and their use of commissions paid on portfolio brokerage transactions of the Funds to obtain research products and services benefiting the Funds and/or other clients.
After full consideration of the above factors as well as other factors that were instructive in analyzing the management arrangements, the Trustees, including all of the Independent Trustees, concluded that the continuation of the Advisory Agreements for each Fund was in the best interest of each Fund and its shareholders.

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 necessarily reflect a taxable return of capital. For federal income tax purposes, shareholders will receive a Form 1099-DIV for each calendar year that will tell you how to report these distributions. Accordingly, the Funds are making the following disclosures pursuant to Section 19(a).
201
Other information (unaudited) |
During the semi-annual period ended July 31, 2015, none of the Henderson Global Funds paid income distributions in part from sources other than accumulated undistributed net income as measured at the time of payment.
Shareholder expense
As a shareholder of the Funds, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including 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 July 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 are as follows:
| Class | | Class | | Class | | Class | | Class | |
| A | | B | | C | | I | | R | |
All Asset | 0.85 | % | N/A | | 1.60 | % | 0.60 | % | N/A | |
Dividend & Income Builder | 1.30 | % | N/A | | 2.05 | % | 1.05 | % | N/A | |
Emerging Markets | 1.79 | % | N/A | | 2.54 | % | 1.54 | % | N/A | |
European Focus | 1.28 | % | 2.07 | % | 2.08 | % | 1.06 | % | N/A | |
Global Equity Income | 1.08 | % | N/A | | 1.86 | % | 0.86 | % | N/A | |
Global Technology | 1.31 | % | 2.16 | % | 2.12 | % | 1.12 | % | N/A | |
High Yield Opportunities | 1.10 | % | N/A | | 1.85 | % | 0.85 | % | N/A | |
International Long/Short Equity | 4.75 | % | N/A | | 5.64 | % | 4.60 | % | N/A | |
International Opportunities | 1.34 | % | 2.13 | % | 2.12 | % | 1.09 | % | 1.62 | % |
International Select Equity | 1.14 | % | N/A | | 1.89 | % | 0.89 | % | N/A | |
Strategic Income | 1.09 | % | 1.85 | % | 1.85 | % | 0.84 | % | N/A | |
Unconstrained Bond | 1.15 | % | N/A | | 1.90 | % | 0.90 | % | N/A | |
US Growth Opportunities | 1.20 | % | N/A | | 1.95 | % | 0.95 | % | N/A | |
Please note that the expenses do not reflect shareholder 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.

This notice describes the privacy practices followed by Henderson Global Funds.
Your privacy is our top priority. Our policy is to respect the privacy of current and former shareholders and to protect personal information entrusted to us. We do not share any nonpublic personal information of shareholders or former shareholders with any nonaffiliated third parties, except as permitted by law or as authorized by our shareholders.
In the course of providing products and services to you, we collect nonpublic personal information about you from various sources such as account applications or agreements, other account forms, transactions in your account, and from information captured on our website, including any information captured through our use of “cookies.” Such information may include your name, address, account or tax identification number, the types and amounts of investments, and bank account information. More detailed information about our Internet policy is available on our website, www.henderson.com.
In the normal course of serving shareholders, we may share information we collect with entities that help us process information or service your request, such as transfer agents, custodians, broker-dealers and marketing service firms, as well as with other financial institutions with whom we have joint marketing agreements. We may share information in connection with servicing accounts or to inform shareholders of products and services that we believe may be of interest to them. The organizations that receive shareholder information will use that information only for the services required and as allowed by applicable law or regulation, and are not permitted to share or use this information for any other purpose. Our affiliates do not use shareholder information that we receive to make marketing solicitations. We will disclose your personal information to government agencies, law enforcement officials, and others in the limited circumstances where we believe, in good faith, that such disclosure is required or permitted by law. For example, we will disclose your personal information in order to comply with a court order, to cooperate with government or industry regulators, or law enforcement authorities.
Access to customers’ nonpublic personal information is restricted to employees who need to access that information. To guard shareholder’s nonpublic personal information, we use industry standard physical, electronic, and procedural safeguards. A shareholder’s right to privacy extends to all forms of contact with us, including telephone, written correspondence, and electronic media, such as the Internet.
