RiverNorth Funds | Portfolio Update |
March 31, 2024 (Unaudited)
Fixed Income Allocation(1)(2) (percentages are based on net assets)
Portfolio detail statistics are estimates made by the adviser and are subject to change.
| (1) | Closed-End Fund Risk – closed-end funds are exchange traded, may trade at a discount to their net asset values and may deploy leverage. Convertible Security Risk – the market value of convertible securities adjusts with interest rates and the value of the underlying stock. Equity Risk – equity securities may experience volatility and the value of equity securities may move in opposite directions from each other and from other equity markets generally. Exchange Traded Note Risk – exchange traded notes represent unsecured debt of the issuer and may be influenced by interest rates, credit ratings of the issuer or changes in value of the reference index. Fixed Income Risk – the market value of fixed income securities adjusts with interest rates and the securities are subject to issuer default. High yield securities may provide greater income and opportunity for gain, but entail greater risk of loss of principal. Foreign/Emerging Market Risk – foreign securities may be subject to inefficient or volatile markets, different regulatory regimes or different tax policies. These risks may be enhanced in emerging markets. Management Risk – there is no guarantee that the adviser’s investment decisions will produce the desired results. Large Shareholder Purchase and Redemption Risk – The Fund may experience adverse effects when certain large shareholders purchase or redeem large amounts of shares of the Fund. LIBOR Transition Risk – The discontinuation of the London Interbank Offered Rate ("LIBOR") may lead to increased volatility and illiquidity in markets that are tied to LIBOR, reduced values of LIBOR-related investments, and reduced effectiveness of hedging strategies, adversely affecting the Fund's performance or net asset value. The U.S. Federal Reserve publishes Secured Overnight Financing Rate (“SOFR”) data that has replaced U.S. dollar LIBOR in certain financial contracts. SOFR, which has been used increasingly on a voluntary basis in new instruments and transactions, is a broad measure of the cost of borrowing cash overnight collateralized by U.S. Treasury securities in the repurchase agreement market. The future performance of SOFR, and SOFR-based reference rates, cannot be predicted based on SOFR’s history or otherwise. Levels of SOFR in the future, including following the discontinuation of LIBOR, may bear little or no relation to historical levels of SOFR, LIBOR or other rates. Market Risk – economic conditions, interest rates and political events may affect the securities markets. Geopolitical and other risks, including war, terrorism, trade disputes, political or economic dysfunction within some nations, public health crises and related geopolitical events, as well as environmental disasters such as earthquakes, fires, and floods, may add to instability in world economies and markets generally. Real Estate Investment Trust ("REIT") Risk – the value of REITs changes with the value of the underlying properties and changes in interest rates and are subject to additional fees. Security Risk – The value of the Fund may decrease in response to the activities and financial prospects of individual securities in the Fund’s portfolio. Short Sale Risk – short positions are speculative, are subject to transaction costs and are riskier than long positions in securities. Special Purpose Acquisition Companies ("SPAC") Risk – The value of SPAC securities is particularly dependent on the ability of the entity’s management to identify and complete a profitable acquisition. Certain SPACs may seek acquisitions only in limited industries or regions, which may increase the volatility of their prices. Investments in SPACs may be illiquid and/or be subject to restrictions on resale. To the extent the SPAC is invested in cash or similar securities, this may impact the Fund’s ability to meet its investment objective. Small-Cap Risk – small cap companies are more susceptible to failure, are often thinly traded and have more volatile stock prices. Structured Notes Risk – because of the imbedded derivative feature, structured notes are subject to more risk than investing in a simple note or bond. Swap Risk – swap agreements are subject to counterparty default risk and may not perform as intended. Underlying Fund Risk – underlying funds have additional fees, may utilize leverage, may not correlate to an intended index and may trade at a discount to their net asset values. |

| (2) | Credit quality allocation reflects a fixed-income portfolio weighted average of the credit breakdown of each closed-end fund as provided by the adviser of said closed-end fund. If a credit breakdown is not provided by the adviser, Bloomberg is used. Investment grade refers to a bond rated BBB- or higher by Standard & Poor’s or Baa3 or higher by Moody’s. High yield refers to a bond rate lower than investment grade. For more information about securities ratings, please see the Fund’s Statement of Additional information at www.rivernorth.com. |

Mortgage-Backed Security Risk – mortgage backed securities are subject to credit risk, pre-payment risk and devaluation of the underlying collateral. Portfolio Turnover Risk – increased portfolio turnover results in higher brokerage expenses and may impact the tax status of distributions. Preferred Stock Risk – preferred stocks generally pay dividends, but may be less liquid than common stocks, have less priority than debt instruments and may be subject to redemption by the issuer. Rating Agency Risk – rating agencies may change their ratings or ratings may not accurately reflect a debt issuer’s creditworthiness. REIT Risk – the value of REITs changes with the value of the underlying properties and changes in interest rates and are subject to additional fees.

Special Purpose Acquisition Companies ("SPAC") Risk – The value of SPAC securities is particularly dependent on the ability of the entity’s management to identify and complete a profitable acquisition. Certain SPACs may seek acquisitions only in limited industries or regions, which may increase the volatility of their prices.

Underlying Fund Risk – underlying funds have additional fees, may utilize leverage, may not correlate to an intended index and may trade at a discount to their net asset values.

(1) | Borrowing Risk – borrowings increase fund expenses and are subject to repayment, possibly at inopportune times. Closed- End Fund Risk – closed-end funds are exchange traded, may trade at a discount to their net asset values and may deploy leverage. Convertible Security Risk – the market value of convertible securities adjusts with interest rates and the value of the underlying stock. Credit Derivatives Risk – the use of credit derivatives is highly specialized, involves default, counterparty and liquidity risks and may not perfectly correlate to the underlying asset or liability being hedged. Currency Risk – foreign currencies will rise or decline relative to the U.S. dollar. Distressed and Defaulted Securities Risk – defaulted securities carry the risk of uncertainty of repayment. Equity Risk – equity securities may experience volatility and the value of equity securities may move in opposite directions from each other and from other equity markets generally. Fixed Income Risk – the market value of fixed income securities adjusts with interest rates and the securities are subject to issuer default. High yield securities may provide greater income and opportunity for gain, but entail greater risk of loss of principal. Foreign/Emerging Market Risk – foreign securities may be subject to inefficient or volatile markets, different regulatory regimes or different tax policies. These risks may be enhanced in emerging markets. Floating Interest Rate Risk – loans pay interest based on the London Interbank Offered Rate ("LIBOR") and a decline in LIBOR could negatively impact the Fund’s return. Investment Style Risk – investment strategies may come in and out of favor with investors and may underperform or outperform at times. Large Shareholder Purchase and Redemption Risk – The Fund may experience adverse effects when certain large shareholders purchase or redeem large amounts of shares of the Fund. LIBOR Transition Risk – The discontinuation of LIBOR may lead to increased volatility and illiquidity in markets that are tied to LIBOR, reduced values of LIBOR-related investments, and reduced effectiveness of hedging strategies, adversely affecting the Fund's performance or net asset value. The U.S. Federal Reserve publishes Secured Overnight Financing Rate (“SOFR”) data that has replaced U.S. dollar LIBOR in certain financial contracts. SOFR, which has been used increasingly on a voluntary basis in new instruments and transactions, is a broad measure of the cost of borrowing cash overnight collateralized by U.S. Treasury securities in the repurchase agreement market. The future performance of SOFR, and SOFR-based reference rates, cannot be predicted based on SOFR’s history or otherwise. Levels of SOFR in the future, including following the discontinuation of LIBOR, may bear little or no relation to historical levels of SOFR, LIBOR or other rates. Loans Risk – loans may be unrated or rated below investment grade and the pledged collateral may lose value. Secondary trading in loans is not fully-developed and may result in illiquidity. Management Risk – there is no guarantee that the adviser’s or sub-adviser’s investment decisions will produce the desired results. Market Risk – economic conditions, interest rates and political events may affect the securities markets. Geopolitical and other risks, including war, terrorism, trade disputes, political or economic dysfunction within some nations, public health crises and related geopolitical events, as well as environmental disasters such as earthquakes, fires, and floods, may add to instability in world economies and markets generally. Preferred Stock Risk – preferred stocks generally pay dividends, but may be less liquid than common stocks, have less priority than debt instruments and may be subject to redemption by the issuer. Security Risk – the value of the Fund may increase or decrease in response to the prospects of the issuers of securities and loans held in the Fund. Special Purpose Acquisition Companies ("SPAC") Risk – The value of SPAC securities is particularly dependent on the ability of the entity’s management to identify and complete a profitable acquisition. Certain SPACs may seek acquisitions only in limited industries or regions, which may increase the volatility of their prices. Investments in SPACs may be illiquid and/or be subject to restrictions on resale. To the extent the SPAC is invested in cash or similar securities, this may impact the Fund’s ability to meet its investment objective. Swap Risk – swap agreements are subject to counterparty default risk and may not perform as intended. Underlying Fund Risk – underlying funds have additional fees, may utilize leverage, may not correlate to an intended index and may trade at a discount to their net asset values. Valuation Risk – Loans and fixed-income securities are traded “over the counter” and because there is no centralized information regarding trading, the valuation of loans and fixed-income securities may vary. |

RiverNorth Funds | Disclosure of Fund Expenses |
March 31, 2024 (Unaudited)
Expense Example
As a shareholder of the RiverNorth Funds (the "Trust" or "Funds"), you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs; and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees, distribution and service (12b-1) fees and other Fund expenses. This example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Funds and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds. The Example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period, October 1, 2023, and held for the six months ended March 31, 2024.
Actual Expenses
The first line of the table below provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this line, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your variable account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the first line under the heading entitled “Expenses Paid During Period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.
Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes
The second line of the table below provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on each Fund’s actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not each Fund’s actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in each Fund and other funds. To do so, compare these 5% hypothetical examples with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of other funds.
Please note that the expenses shown in the table below are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transactional costs, such as redemption fees. Therefore, the second line for each share class of each Fund within the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. If these transactional costs were included, your costs would have been higher.

1. ORGANIZATION
The RiverNorth Funds (the “Trust” or “Funds”) was established under the laws of Ohio by an Agreement and Declaration of Trust dated July 18, 2006 (the “Trust Agreement”). The Trust is an open-end management investment company registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”). The Trust Agreement permits the Board of Trustees of the Trust (the “Board” or “Trustees”) to authorize and issue an unlimited number of shares of beneficial interest of a separate series without par value. All classes of shares for each of the Funds have identical rights to earnings, assets and voting privileges, except for class-specific expenses and exclusive rights to vote on matters affecting only individual classes. The Funds are considered investment companies and therefore follow the investment company accounting and reporting guidance of the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification Topic 946 Financial Services Investment Companies.
The RiverNorth Core Opportunity Fund (the “Core Opportunity Fund”) was organized as a diversified series of the Trust on July 18, 2006 and commenced investment operations on December 27, 2006. The Core Opportunity Fund offers two classes of shares, Class I Shares (inception date of August 11, 2014) and Class R Shares (inception date of December 27, 2006). The investment adviser to the Core Opportunity Fund is RiverNorth Capital Management, LLC ("RiverNorth" or the “Adviser”). The investment objective of the Core Opportunity Fund is to seek long-term capital appreciation and income.
The RiverNorth/DoubleLine Strategic Income Fund (the “Strategic Income Fund”) is a diversified series of the Trust and commenced investment operations on December 30, 2010. The Strategic Income Fund offers two classes of shares, Class I Shares and Class R Shares. The investment adviser to the Strategic Income Fund is RiverNorth.

2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The following is a summary of significant accounting policies followed by the Funds. These policies are in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“GAAP”). The financial statements are prepared in accordance with GAAP, which requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts and disclosures, including the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities, in the financial statements during the reporting period. Management believes the estimates and security valuations are appropriate; however, actual results may differ from those estimates, and the security valuations reflected in the financial statements may differ from the value the Funds ultimately realize upon sale of the securities. The financial statements have been prepared as of the close of the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE” or the "Exchange") on March 31, 2024.

Security Valuation: The Funds’ assets and other financial instruments are recorded at their estimated fair value as described in Note 3.
Security Transactions and Related Income: The Funds follow industry practice and record security transactions on the trade date basis. The specific identification method is used for determining gains or losses for financial statements and income tax purposes. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date or for certain foreign securities, when the information becomes available to the Funds, and interest income and expenses are recorded on an accrual basis. Discounts and premiums on securities purchased are amortized or accreted using the effective interest method. Withholding taxes on foreign dividends have been provided for in accordance with the Funds’ understanding of the applicable country’s tax rules and rates. The ability of issuers of debt securities held by the Funds to meet their obligations may be affected by economic and political developments in a specific country or region. Settlement on bank loans transactions may be in excess of seven business days. Interest only stripped mortgage backed securities ("IO Strips") are securities that receive only interest payments from a pool of mortgage loans. Little to no principal will be received by the Funds upon maturity of an IO Strip. Periodic adjustments are recorded to reduce the cost of the security until maturity, which are included in interest income.
Foreign Currency Translation: The books and records of the Funds are maintained in U.S. dollars. Investment valuations and other assets and liabilities initially expressed in foreign currencies are converted each business day into U.S. dollars based upon current exchange rates. Prevailing foreign exchange rates may generally be obtained at the close of the NYSE (normally, 4:00 p.m. Eastern Time). The portion of realized and unrealized gains or losses on investments due to fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates is not separately disclosed and is included in realized and unrealized gains or losses on investments, when applicable.
Foreign Securities: The Funds may directly purchase securities of foreign issuers. Investing in securities of foreign issuers involves special risks not typically associated with investing in securities of U.S. issuers. The risks include possible revaluation of currencies, the ability to repatriate funds, less complete financial information about companies and possible future adverse political and economic developments. Moreover, securities of many foreign issuers and their markets may be less liquid and their prices more volatile than those of securities of comparable U.S. issuers.
Certain foreign countries impose a capital gains tax which is accrued by the Funds based on the unrealized appreciation, if any, on affected securities. Any accrual would reduce a Fund’s net asset value ("NAV"). The tax is paid when the gain is realized and is included in capital gains tax in the Statements of Operations. During the six months ended March 31, 2024, no foreign capital gains tax was accrued or paid by the Fund.
Other: The Funds hold certain investments which pay dividends to their shareholders based upon available funds from operations. It is possible for these dividends to exceed the underlying investments’ taxable earnings and profits resulting in the excess portion of such dividends being designated as a return of capital. Distributions received from investments in securities that represent a return of capital or capital gains are recorded as a reduction of the cost of investments or as a realized gain, respectively.

Principal Investment Risks: All mutual funds carry a certain amount of risk. For more information on the related risks of investing in the Funds, please refer to the prospectus of each Fund.
Share Valuation: The NAV is generally calculated as of the close of trading on the NYSE (normally 4:00 p.m. Eastern Time) every day the Exchange is open. The NAV is calculated by taking the total value of each Fund’s or class’s assets, subtracting its liabilities, and then dividing by the total number of shares outstanding, rounded to the nearest cent. The offering price and redemption price per share is equal to the NAV per share.
Expenses: Some expenses of the Trust can be directly attributed to a Fund or a Fund specific share class. Expenses which cannot be directly attributed are apportioned among all Funds and Fund series classes in the Trust based on average net assets or another method approved by the Board.
Federal Income Taxes: The Funds make no provision for federal income tax. Each Fund intends to qualify each year as a “regulated investment company” under subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code"), by distributing substantially all of its taxable income. If the required amount of net investment income is not distributed, the Funds could incur a tax expense.
As of and during the six months ended March 31, 2024, the Funds did not have a liability for any unrecognized tax benefits. The Funds file U.S. federal, state, and local tax returns as required. The Funds’ tax returns are subject to examination by the relevant tax authorities until expiration of the applicable statute of limitations which is generally three years after the filing of the tax return for federal purposes and four years for most state returns. Tax returns for open years have incorporated no uncertain tax positions that require a provision for income taxes.
The Funds recognize interest and penalties, if any, related to unrecognized tax benefits as income tax expenses in the Statements of Operations. During the six months ended March 31, 2024, the Funds did not incur any interest or penalties.
Distributions to Shareholders: Distributions to shareholders, which are determined in accordance with income tax regulations, are recorded on the ex-dividend date. The treatment for financial reporting purposes of distributions made to shareholders during the year from net investment income or net realized capital gains may differ from their ultimate treatment for federal income tax purposes. These differences are caused primarily by differences in the timing of recognition of certain components of income, expense, or realized capital gain for federal income tax purposes. Where such differences are permanent in nature, they are reclassified in the components of the net assets based on their ultimate characterization for federal income tax purposes. Any such reclassification will have no effect on net assets, results of operations or net asset values per share of the Funds.

3. SECURITIES VALUATION AND FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS
The Funds value their investments at fair value. Fair value is defined as the price that a Fund might reasonably expect to receive upon selling an investment in a timely transaction to an independent buyer in the principal or most advantageous market of the investment. GAAP establishes a three-tier hierarchy to maximize the use of observable market data and minimize the use of unobservable inputs and to establish classification of fair value measurements for disclosure purposes.
Inputs refer broadly to the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability, including assumptions about risk. For example, the risk inherent in a particular valuation technique used to measure fair value including using such a pricing model and/or the risk inherent in the inputs to the valuation technique. 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 in the circumstances.
Various inputs are used in determining the value of the Funds’ investments. These inputs are summarized in the three broad levels listed below.
| ● | Level 1 – Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical, unrestricted assets or liabilities that a Fund has the ability to access at the measurement date; |
| ● | Level 2 – Quoted prices which are not active, quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets or inputs other than quoted prices that are observable (either directly or indirectly) for substantially the full term of the asset or liability; and |
| ● | Level 3 – Significant unobservable prices or inputs (including the Funds’ own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments) where there is little or no market activity for the asset or liability at the measurement date. |
The inputs used to measure fair value may fall into different levels of the fair value hierarchy. In such cases, for disclosure purposes, the level in the fair value hierarchy within which the fair value measurement falls in its entirety is determined based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety.
Effective September 8, 2022, and pursuant to the requirements of Rule 2a-5 under the 1940 Act, the Board approved updated valuation procedures for the Funds and designated the Adviser as the Funds’ valuation designee to make all fair valuation determinations with respect to each of the Funds’ portfolio investments, subject to the Board's oversight.
Equity securities, including common stocks, warrants, closed-end funds, exchange traded funds, preferred stocks, business development companies and special purpose acquisition companies, are generally valued by using market quotations, but may be valued on the basis of prices furnished by a pricing service when the Adviser believes such prices more accurately reflect the fair market value of such securities. Securities that are traded on any stock exchange are generally valued by the pricing service at the last quoted sale price. Lacking a last sale price, an exchange traded security is generally valued by the pricing service at its last bid price. Securities traded in the NASDAQ over-the-counter market are generally valued by the pricing service at the NASDAQ Official Closing Price. When using the market quotations or close prices provided by the pricing service and when the market is considered active, the security will be classified as a Level 1 security. Sometimes, an equity security owned by the Funds will be valued by the pricing service with factors other than market quotations or when the market is considered inactive. When this happens, the security will be classified as a Level 2 security. When market quotations are not readily available, when the Adviser determines that the market quotation or the price provided by the pricing service does not accurately reflect the current fair value, or when restricted or illiquid securities are being valued, such securities are valued as determined in good faith by the Adviser in conformity with guidelines adopted by and subject to review by the Board. These securities will be categorized as Level 3 securities.

Futures contracts are normally valued at the final settlement price or official closing price provided by independent pricing services. These securities will be categorized as Level 1 securities.
Investments in mutual funds, including short-term investments and open-end funds, are generally priced at the ending NAV provided by the service agent of the funds. These securities will be categorized as Level 1 securities.
Domestic and foreign fixed income securities, including foreign and U.S. corporate bonds, convertible corporate bonds, U.S. government bonds and notes, foreign government bonds and notes, supranationals and foreign agencies, non-agency collateralized mortgage obligations, U.S. government/agency mortgage backed securities, business development companies-preferred shares and notes, bank loans, collateralized loan obligations, equity-linked notes, municipal bonds, mortgage-backed securities, and high yield debt, as well as non-exchange traded derivatives, including forward foreign currency contracts, are normally valued on the basis of quotes obtained from brokers and dealers or independent pricing services. Foreign currency positions, including forward foreign currency contracts, are priced at the mean between the closing bid and asked prices at 4:00 p.m. Eastern Time. Prices obtained from independent pricing services typically use information provided by market makers or estimates of market values obtained from yield data relating to investments or securities with similar characteristics. Data used to establish quotes includes analysis of cash flows, pre-payment speeds, default rates, delinquency assumptions and assumptions regarding collateral and loss assumptions. These securities will be classified as Level 2 securities.
Short-term investments in fixed income securities, with maturities of less than 60 days when acquired, or which subsequently are within 60 days of maturity, are valued by using the amortized cost method of valuation, which the Board has determined will represent fair value. These securities will be classified as Level 2 securities.
In accordance with the Funds’ good faith pricing guidelines, the Adviser is required to consider all appropriate factors relevant to the value of securities for which it has determined other pricing sources are not available or reliable as described above. No single standard exists for determining fair value, because fair value depends upon the circumstances of each individual case. As a general principle, the current fair value of an issue of securities being valued by the Adviser would appear to be the amount which the owner might reasonably expect to receive for them upon their current sale. Methods which are in accordance with this principle may, for example, be based on (i) a multiple of earnings; (ii) discounted cash flow models; (iii) weighted average cost or weighted average price; (iv) a discount from market of a similar freely traded security (including a derivative security or a basket of securities traded on other markets, exchanges or among dealers); or (v) yield to maturity with respect to debt issues, or a combination of these and other methods. Good faith pricing is permitted if, in the Adviser’s opinion, the validity of market quotations appears to be questionable based on factors such as evidence of a thin market in the security based on a small number of quotations, a significant event occurs after the close of a market but before a Fund’s NAV calculation that may affect a security’s value, or the Adviser is aware of any other data that calls into question the reliability of market quotations.

Good faith pricing may also be used in instances when the bonds in which the Funds invest default or otherwise cease to have market quotations readily available. Investments in foreign securities, junk bonds, or other thinly traded securities are more likely to trigger good faith pricing than other securities.

4. DERIVATIVE FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
The following discloses the Funds’ use of derivative instruments. The Funds’ investment objectives not only permit the Funds to purchase investment securities, they also allow the Funds to enter into various types of derivative contracts such as futures and forward foreign currency contracts. In doing so, the Funds will employ strategies in differing combinations to permit them to increase, decrease, or change the level or types of exposure to market factors. Central to those strategies are features inherent to derivatives that make them more attractive for this purpose than equity or debt securities; they require little or no initial cash investment, they can focus exposure on only certain selected risk factors, and they may not require the ultimate receipt or delivery of the underlying security (or securities) to the contract. This may allow the Funds to pursue their objectives more quickly and efficiently than if they were to make direct purchases or sales of securities capable of affecting a similar response to market factors.
Market Risk Factors: In pursuit of their investment objectives, the Funds may seek to use derivatives to increase or decrease their exposure to the following market risk factors:
Foreign Exchange Rate Risk: Foreign exchange rate risk relates to the change in the U.S. dollar value of a security held that is denominated in a foreign currency. The value of a foreign currency denominated security will decrease as the dollar appreciates against the currency, while the value of the foreign currency denominated security will increase as the dollar depreciates against the currency.

Risk of Investing in Derivatives
The Funds’ use of derivatives can result in losses due to unanticipated changes in the market risk factors and the overall market. Derivatives may have little or no initial cash investment relative to their market value exposure and therefore can produce significant gains or losses in excess of their cost. This use of embedded leverage allows the Funds to increase their market value exposure relative to their net assets and can substantially increase the volatility of the Funds’ performance.
Additional associated risks from investing in derivatives also exist and potentially could have significant effects on the valuation of the derivative and the Funds. Typically, the associated risks are not the risks that the Funds are attempting to increase or decrease exposure to, per their investment objectives, but are the additional risks from investing in derivatives.
In the ordinary course of business, the Funds may enter into transactions subject to enforceable International Swaps and Derivatives Association, Inc. (ISDA) master agreements or other similar arrangements (“netting agreements”). Generally, the right to offset in netting agreements allows each Fund to offset certain securities and derivatives with a specific counterparty, when applicable, as well as any collateral received or delivered to that counterparty based on the terms of the agreements.
Examples of these associated risks are liquidity risk, which is the risk that the Funds will not be able to sell the derivative in the open market in a timely manner, and counterparty credit risk, which is the risk that the counterparty will not fulfill its obligation to the Funds.
Futures
The Funds may invest in futures contracts in accordance with their investment objectives. The Funds may do so for a variety of reasons including for cash management, hedging or non-hedging purposes in an attempt to achieve the Funds’ investment objective. A futures contract provides for the future sale by one party and purchase by another party of a specified quantity of the security or other financial instrument at a specified price and time. A futures contract on an index is an agreement pursuant to which two parties agree to take or make delivery of an amount of cash equal to the difference between the value of the index at the close of the last trading day of the contract and the price at which the index contract was originally written. Futures transactions may result in losses in excess of the amount invested in the futures contract. There can be no guarantee that there will be a correlation between price movements in the hedging vehicle and in the portfolio securities being hedged. An incorrect correlation could result in a loss on both the hedged securities in a fund and the hedging vehicle so that the portfolio return might have been greater had hedging not been attempted. There can be no assurance that a liquid market will exist at a time when a fund seeks to close out a futures contract or a futures option position. Lack of a liquid market for any reason may prevent a fund from liquidating an unfavorable position, and the fund would remain obligated to meet margin requirements until the position is closed. In addition, a fund could be exposed to risk if the counterparties to the contracts are unable to meet the terms of their contracts. With exchange-traded futures, there is minimal counterparty credit risk to the Funds since futures are exchange-traded and the exchange’s clearinghouse, as counterparty to all exchange-traded futures, guarantees the futures against default. The Funds are party to certain enforceable master netting arrangements, which provide for the right of offset under certain circumstances, such as the event of default.

When a purchase or sale of a futures contract is made by a fund, the fund is required to deposit with its custodian (or broker, if legally permitted) a specified amount of liquid assets (“initial margin”). The margin required for a futures contract is set by the exchange on which the contract is traded and may be modified during the term of the contract. The initial margin is in the nature of a performance bond or good faith deposit on the futures contract that is returned to the Funds upon termination of the contract, assuming all contractual obligations have been satisfied. These amounts are included in Deposits with broker for futures contracts on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Each day the Funds may pay or receive cash, called “variation margin,” equal to the daily change in value of the futures contract. Such payments or receipts are recorded for financial statement purposes as unrealized gains or losses by the Funds. Variation margin does not represent a borrowing or loan by the Funds but instead is a settlement between the Funds and the broker of the amount one would owe the other if the futures contract expired. When the contract is closed, the Funds record a realized gain or loss equal to the difference between the value of the contract at the time it was opened and the value at the time it was closed.
Forward Foreign Currency Contracts
The Funds may engage in currency transactions with counterparties to hedge the value of portfolio securities denominated in particular currencies against fluctuations in relative value, to gain or reduce exposure to certain currencies, or to generate income or gains. A forward foreign currency contract is an agreement between two parties to buy and sell a currency at a set price on a future date. During the six months ended March 31, 2024, the High Income Fund engaged in forward foreign currency contracts. The contracts are marked-to-market daily and the change in value is recorded by the High Income Fund as an unrealized gain or loss. When a forward foreign currency contract is extinguished, through either delivery or offset by entering into another forward foreign currency contract, the High Income Fund records a realized gain or loss equal to the difference between the value of the contract at the time it was opened and the value of the contract at the time it was extinguished.
Forward foreign currency contracts involve elements of market risk in excess of the amounts reflected in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. The High Income Fund bears the risk of an unfavorable change in the foreign exchange rate underlying the forward foreign currency contract. Risks may also arise upon entering into these contracts from the potential inability of the counterparties to meet the terms of their contracts.

Offsetting Arrangements: Certain derivative contracts are executed under standardized netting agreements. A derivative netting arrangement creates an enforceable right of set-off that becomes effective, and affects the realization of settlement on individual assets, liabilities and collateral amounts, only following a specified event of default or early termination. Default events may include the failure to make payments or deliver securities timely, material adverse changes in financial condition or insolvency, the breach of minimum regulatory capital requirements, or loss of license, charter or other legal authorization necessary to perform under the contract. These agreements mitigate counterparty credit risk by providing for a single net settlement with a counterparty of all financial transactions covered by the agreement in an event of default as defined under such agreement.

5. LOAN PARTICIPATIONS AND ASSIGNMENTS
The Strategic Income Fund and High Income Fund may each invest in direct debt instruments which are interests in amounts owed to lenders or lending syndicates by corporate, governmental, or other borrowers. The Strategic Income Fund and High Income Fund will normally invest in corporate debt issuers in North America and Europe. The Strategic Income Fund’s and High Income Fund’s investments in loans may be in the form of participations in loans or assignments of all or a portion of loans from third parties. A loan is often administered by a bank or other financial institution (the “lender”) that acts as agent for all holders. The agent administers the terms of the loan, as specified in the loan agreement. The Strategic Income Fund and High Income Fund may each invest in multiple series or tranches of a loan, which may have varying terms and carry different associated risks. The Strategic Income Fund and High Income Fund will generally purchase assignments of these loans, in which case they will typically become lenders for purposes of the relevant loan agreement with direct contractual rights against the borrower, including the right to receive payments of principal and interest. When purchasing participation interests in a loan, the Strategic Income Fund and High Income Fund generally have no right to enforce compliance with the terms of the loan agreement with the borrower. As a result, the Strategic Income Fund and High Income Fund may each be subject to the credit risk of both the borrower and the lender that is selling the loan agreement. The Strategic Income Fund and High Income Fund may each enter into unfunded loan commitments, which are contractual obligations for future funding. Unfunded loan commitments represent a future obligation in full, even though a percentage of the notional loan amounts may not be utilized by the borrower. When investing in a loan participation, the Strategic Income Fund and High Income Fund have the right to receive payments of principal, interest and any fees to which they are entitled only from the lender selling the loan agreement and only upon receipt of payments by the lender from the borrower. The Strategic Income Fund and High Income Fund may each receive a commitment fee based on the undrawn portion of the underlying line of credit portion of a floating rate loan. In certain circumstances, the Strategic Income Fund and High Income Fund may each receive a penalty fee upon the prepayment of a floating rate loan by a borrower. Fees earned are recorded as a component of interest income or interest expense, respectively, on the Statements of Operations.
6. ADVISORY FEES, TRUSTEE FEES AND OTHER AGREEMENTS
The Adviser serves as the investment adviser to the Funds. Under the terms of the management agreement (the “Agreement”), the Adviser, subject to the supervision of the Board, provides or arranges to be provided to the Funds such investment advice as it deems advisable and will furnish or arrange to be furnished a continuous investment program for the Funds consistent with the Funds’ investment objectives and policies. As compensation for its management services, the Funds are obligated to pay the Adviser a fee computed and accrued daily and paid monthly in arrears at an annual rate of the average daily net assets of the Funds.
The following table reflects the Funds’ contractual management fee rates (expressed as an annual rate).
Fund | Contractual Management Fee |
Core Opportunity Fund | 1.00% |
Strategic Income Fund | 0.75% |

This contractual agreement will continue automatically for successive annual periods unless terminated by the Fund's Board of Trustees on 60 days' written notice to the Adviser.
For the six months ended March 31, 2024, the Adviser waived $98,441 in affiliated management fees attributable to the Strategic Income Fund related to the Fund's investment in an affiliated fund, the High Income Fund. The Investment Adviser Fee disclosed on the Strategic Income Fund's Statement of Operations is reflective of this waiver of affiliated management fees. The waived fees are not subject to recoupment by the Adviser.
DoubleLine is the investment sub-adviser to the Strategic Income Fund. Oaktree Capital is the investment sub-adviser to the High Income Fund. Under the terms of the sub-advisory agreements, the Sub-Advisers, subject to the supervision of the Adviser and the Board of Trustees, provide to the Strategic Income Fund and the High Income Fund such investment advice as deemed advisable and will furnish a continuous investment program for the portion of assets managed in the respective Fund consistent with the respective Fund's investment objective and policies. As compensation for its sub-advisory services, the Adviser, out of its own fee, is obligated to pay each Sub-Adviser a fee computed and accrued daily and paid monthly in arrears based on an annual rate of the average daily net assets of the Strategic Income Fund and the High Income Fund.

RiverNorth Funds | Board Considerations Regarding Approval of Investment Advisory and Sub-Advisory Agreements |
March 31, 2024 (Unaudited)
Consideration and Renewal of Investment Advisory Agreements with RiverNorth Capital Management, LLC
At an in-person meeting (the “Meeting”) of the Board of Trustees (the “Board”) of RiverNorth Funds (the “Trust”), held on November 6-7, 2023 and called expressly for that purpose, the Board, including a majority of the Trustees who are not “interested persons” (as defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended) (the “Independent Trustees”), considered the renewal of the management agreement (the “Management Agreement”) between RiverNorth Capital Management, LLC (“RiverNorth” or the “Adviser”) and the Trust on behalf of the RiverNorth Core Opportunity Fund (the “Core Opportunity Fund”), RiverNorth/DoubleLine Strategic Income Fund (the “Strategic Income Fund”) and the RiverNorth/Oaktree High Income Fund (the “High Income Fund” and together with the Core Opportunity Fund and the Strategic Income Fund, the “Funds”). The Board received materials compiled by the Adviser and the Funds’ administrator, including, among other items, a copy of the Management Agreement, the Adviser’s response to a questionnaire regarding the Adviser’s profitability, organization, management and operations, the Adviser’s Form ADV, the Adviser’s audited financial statements, information regarding the Adviser’s assets under management, an overview of the Funds’ cumulative and annualized returns as compared to the Funds’ benchmarks, the Funds’ fact sheets for the quarter ended September 30, 2023, a performance comparison of the Funds compared to other funds managed by RiverNorth, information regarding the Adviser’s compliance programs and a third-party comparison report regarding the Funds’ performance and fees compared to benchmark indices and peer funds provided by FUSE Research Network, LLC (“FUSE”). The Trustees reviewed a memorandum from their independent legal counsel regarding the Trustees’ duties in considering the approval of advisory agreements. The Board considered the following factors, among others, in reaching its determination to renew the Management Agreement: (i) the investment performance of the Funds and the investment performance of the Adviser, (ii) the nature, extent and quality of the services provided by the Adviser to the Funds, (iii) the experience and qualifications of the personnel providing such services, (iv) the costs of the services provided and the profits to be realized by the Adviser and any of its affiliates from the relationship with each Fund, (v) the extent to which economies of scale will be realized by each Fund as it grows, and (vi) whether each Fund’s fee levels reflected the economics of scale to the benefit of the Fund’s shareholders.
The Trustees relied upon the advice of independent legal counsel and their own business judgment in determining the material factors to be considered in evaluating the Management Agreement and the weight to be given to each such factor. The Trustees’ conclusions were based on an evaluation of all the information provided and were not the result of any one factor. Moreover, each Trustee may have afforded different weights to the various factors in reaching conclusions with respect to the Management Agreement. Although not meant to be all-inclusive, the following discussion summarizes the factors considered and conclusions reached by the Trustees at the Meeting, including during executive sessions with their independent legal counsel, in determining to renew the Management Agreement.
Performance, Fees and Expenses
Core Opportunity Fund
Regarding the Core Opportunity Fund, the Board reviewed the performance of the Fund’s Retail Class shares for the three month, one-year, three-year, five-year, ten-year and since inception periods ended September 30, 2023. These returns were compared to the returns of mutual funds in FUSE’s Moderate Allocation peer group (the “Moderate Allocation Peer Group”) and a peer universe consisting of all funds in the Moderate Allocation Peer Group and all other Moderate Allocation funds (the “Moderate Allocation Universe”). The Moderate Allocation Peer Group and the Moderate Allocation Universe included funds with similar pricing features as the Core Opportunity Fund, excluding outliers. The Board observed that the Fund had outperformed the Moderate Allocation Peer Group median for the three-month, one-year, three-year, five-year, ten-year and since inception periods ended September 30, 2023. The Board further noted that the Fund had outperformed the Moderate Allocation Universe for the three-month, one-year, three-year and since inception periods ended September 30, 2023 and underperformed the Moderate Allocation Universe for the five-year and ten-year periods ended September 30, 2023. The Board also reviewed the Fund’s performance relative to other funds managed by the Adviser and versus summary statistics for a Multi-alternative universe of funds prepared by FUSE. It was noted that the Fund’s Retail Class shares had outperformed the Multi-alternative universe median for the one-year period ended September 30, 2023 and underperformed the Multi-alternative universe median for the three- and five-year periods ended September 30, 2023.

March 31, 2024 (Unaudited)
As to the comparative fees and expenses, the Trustees considered the management and the other fees paid by the Fund and compared those to the management and other fees paid by funds in the Moderate Allocation Peer Group and Moderate Allocation Universe. The Board noted that the Core Opportunity Fund’s Retail Class shares’ annual net expense ratio was higher than the Moderate Allocation Peer Group median. The Board also noted that the annual net expense ratio placed the Core Opportunity Fund in the lowest quartile for the Moderate Allocation Universe. Differences in strategies as compared to both the funds in the Moderate Allocation Peer Group and the Moderate Allocation Universe were recalled, as well as the fact that certain peer funds did not have a similar share class as the Fund’s Retail Class shares.
The Board also noted that the annual management fee for the Fund was above the median paid by the Moderate Allocation Peer Group funds, but within the range of the peers. The Board noted the differences in strategies between the Fund and the funds included in the Moderate Allocation Peer Group, highlighting the active management of the Fund’s portfolio. The Trustees also reviewed the Fund’s fees relative to other funds managed by the Adviser and versus summary statistics for a Multi-alternative universe of funds prepared by FUSE. It was noted that the Fund’s management fee and total net expenses for the Fund’s Retail Class shares were below the Multi-alternative universe medians. The Board, including the Independent Trustees, determined that the Fund’s fees were reasonable given the unique investment characteristics of the Fund and the nature of the services provided by the Adviser.
Strategic Income Fund
Regarding the Strategic Income Fund, the Board reviewed the performance of the Fund’s Class I shares for the three month, one-year, three-year, five-year, ten-year and since inception periods ended September 30, 2023. These returns were compared to the returns of mutual funds in FUSE’s Multisector Bond fund peer group (the “Multisector Peer Group”) and a peer universe consisting of all funds in the Multisector Peer Group and all other Multisector Bond funds (the “Multisector Universe”). The Multisector Peer Group and the Multisector Universe included funds with similar pricing features as the Strategic Income Fund, excluding outliers. The Board noted that the Strategic Income Fund outperformed the medians of the Multisector Peer Group and the Multisector Universe for the ten-year and since inception periods and underperformed the median for three-month, one-year, three-year and five-year periods ended September 30, 2023. The Board also reviewed the Fund’s performance relative to other funds managed by the Adviser and versus summary statistics for a Multi-alternative universe of funds prepared by FUSE. It was noted that the Fund’s Class I shares had underperformed the Multi-alternative universe median for the one-, three- and five-year periods ended September 30, 2023.

March 31, 2024 (Unaudited)
As to the comparative fees and expenses, the Trustees considered the management and the other fees paid by the Fund and compared those to the management and other fees paid by funds in the Multisector Peer Group and Multisector Universe. The Board noted that the Strategic Income Fund’s Class I shares’ annual net expense ratio and annual management fee was higher than the medians of the Multisector Peer Group and Multisector Universe, but within the range of the peers. The Trustees noted that the Adviser actively manages a portion of the Fund in addition to delegating the management of a portion of the Fund’s portfolio to DoubleLine Capital LP (“DoubleLine”). The Board also reviewed the Fund’s fees relative to other funds managed by the Adviser and versus summary statistics for a Multi-alternative universe of funds prepared by FUSE. It was noted that the Fund’s management fee and total net expenses for Class I shares were below the Multi-alternative universe medians. The Board, including the Independent Trustees, determined that the fees were reasonable given the nature of the Fund’s investment strategy, the capabilities of the Adviser and DoubleLine, and the nature of the services provided to the Fund.
High Income Fund
Regarding the High Income Fund, the Board reviewed the performance of the Fund’s Class I shares for the three month, one-year, three-year, five year, ten-year and since inception periods ended September 30, 2023. These returns were compared to the returns of mutual funds in FUSE’s High Yield Bond fund peer group (the “High Yield Peer Group”) and a peer universe consisting of all funds in the High Yield Peer Group and all other High Yield Bond funds (the “High Yield Universe”). The High Yield Peer Group and the High Yield Universe included funds with similar pricing features as the High Income Fund, excluding outliers. The Board noted that the High Income Fund performed in line with the median of the High Yield Peer Group for the three-month and one-year periods ended September 30, 2023 and underperformed the median for the three-year, five-year, ten-year and since inception periods ended September 30, 2023. The Board considered that the High Income Fund had outperformed the median of the High Yield Universe for the three-month, one-year and three-year periods ended September 30, 2023, performed in line with the median for the ten-year period ended September 30, 2023 and underperformed the median for the five-year and since inception periods ended September 30, 2023. The Board also reviewed the Fund’s performance relative to other funds managed by the Adviser and versus summary statistics for a Multi-alternative universe of funds prepared by FUSE. It was noted that the Fund’s Class I shares had outperformed the Multi-alternative universe median for the one-year period ended September 30, 2023 and had underperformed the Multi-alternative universe median for the three- and five-year periods ended September 30, 2023. The Trustees acknowledged the fact that the Fund’s split strategy between closed-end funds and high-yield/senior loans differed from the funds in each group.
As to the comparative fees and expenses, the Trustees considered the management and the other fees paid by the Fund and compared those to the management and other fees paid by funds in the High Yield Peer Group and High Yield Universe. The Board noted that the High Income Fund’s Class I shares’ annual gross management fee and annual net expense ratio was higher than the median of the High Yield Peer Group and High Yield Universe. The Board recalled that most of the funds in FUSE’s High Yield Peer Group and High Yield Universe utilized a less complex strategy than that of the High Income Fund and would lead to relatively lower fees. The Trustees also reviewed the Fund’s fees relative to other funds managed by the Adviser and versus summary statistics for a Multi-alternative universe of funds prepared by FUSE. It was noted that the Fund’s management fee and total net expenses for Class I shares were below the Multi-alternative universe median. After discussion, the Board, including the Independent Trustees, determined that the fees were adequate in comparison to the Fund’s peers, and the fees were reasonable given the nature of the Fund’s investment strategy, and the nature of the services to be provided to the Fund by the Adviser and Oaktree Fund Advisors, LLC (“Oaktree”), the Fund’s sub-adviser.

March 31, 2024 (Unaudited)
Nature, Extent and Quality of Services
As to the nature, extent and quality of the services provided by the Adviser to the Funds, the Board considered that under the terms of the Management Agreement, the Adviser, subject to the supervision of the Board, provides or arranges to be provided to the Funds such investment advice as the Adviser, in its discretion, deems advisable and furnishes or arranges to be furnished a continuous investment program for the Funds consistent with each Fund’s investment objective and policies. The Board reviewed the Adviser’s Form ADV, which was previously provided to the Board and that provided details regarding the experience of each of the Adviser’s personnel. The Adviser also provided additional information regarding its experience managing other investment accounts and extensive experience with closed-end funds, noting the fact that RiverNorth was an industry leader in the area. Based on the foregoing information, the Board, including the Independent Trustees, concluded that the Adviser had provided quality services and could be expected to do so in the future for the Funds.
Profitability and Other Benefits
As to the cost of the services provided and the profits to be realized by the Adviser, the Board reviewed the Adviser’s estimates of its profitability and its financial condition. The Board reviewed the Adviser’s financial statements and noted the Adviser’s financial condition was stable. The Board acknowledged that the Adviser’s management fees were comparable to those charged to other mutual funds to which the Adviser provides advisory or sub-advisory services. The Board, including the Independent Trustees, determined that the Management Agreement, with respect to the Core Opportunity Fund, Strategic Income Fund and High Income Fund was not overly profitable to the Adviser and the financial condition of the Adviser was adequate.
The Board noted that the Adviser has no affiliations with the Funds’ transfer agent, fund accountant, administrator, custodian, or distributor and therefore does not derive any benefits from the relationships these parties may have with the Trust. The Board also noted each Fund’s liquidity status and its ability to meet redemptions.
Conclusion
Based upon such information as they considered necessary to the exercise of their reasonable business judgment, the Trustees, including all of the Independent Trustees, concluded that it was in the best interests of each of the Funds to continue the Management Agreement with the Adviser for an additional one-year period.

March 31, 2024 (Unaudited)
Consideration of the Sub-Advisory Agreement with DoubleLine with respect to the Strategic Income Fund
At the Meeting, the Board, including the Independent Trustees, also considered the renewal of the sub-advisory agreement (the “DoubleLine Sub-Advisory Agreement”) between the Adviser and DoubleLine related to the Strategic Income Fund.
The Board received materials compiled by DoubleLine and the Adviser, provided in support of the proposed renewal of the DoubleLine Sub-Advisory Agreement (“DoubleLine Renewal Materials”). The Board considered the renewal of the DoubleLine Sub-Advisory Agreement, noting that the DoubleLine Renewal Materials contained information compiled by DoubleLine and the Adviser, including a copy of the DoubleLine Sub-Advisory Agreement, DoubleLine’s response to a questionnaire regarding its profitability, management and operations, a copy of DoubleLine’s Form ADV and information regarding the performance of the Fund’s benchmark indices and peer funds. The Board considered the following factors, among others, in reaching its determination to renew the DoubleLine Sub-Advisory Agreement: (i) the investment performance of the Strategic Income Fund and the investment performance of DoubleLine, (ii) the nature, extent and quality of the services provided by DoubleLine to the Strategic Income Fund, (iii) the experience and qualifications of the personnel providing such services, (iv) the costs of the services provided and the profits to be realized by DoubleLine and any of its affiliates from the relationship with the Strategic Income Fund, (v) the extent to which economies of scale will be realized by the Strategic Income Fund as it grows, and (vi) whether the fee levels of the Strategic Income Fund reflected the economies of scale to the benefit of the Fund’s shareholders.
The Trustees relied upon the advice of independent legal counsel and their own business judgment in determining the material factors to be considered in evaluating the DoubleLine Sub-Advisory Agreement and the weight to be given to each such factor. The Trustees’ conclusions were based on an evaluation of all of the information provided and were not the result of any one factor. Moreover, each Trustee may have afforded different weight to the various factors in reaching conclusions with respect to the DoubleLine Sub-Advisory Agreement. Although not meant to be all- inclusive, the following discussion summarizes the material factors considered and conclusions reached by the Trustees in the executive sessions and at the Meeting in determining to renew the DoubleLine Sub-Advisory Agreement.
The Board reviewed the performance of the Strategic Income Fund for the three month, one-year, three-year, five-year, ten-year and since inception periods. The Trustees recalled their deliberations regarding the Strategic Income Fund’s performance while considering the renewal of the Management Agreement. The Board also reviewed the performance of the portion of the Strategic Income Fund managed by DoubleLine relative to relevant securities indices, and to other accounts managed by DoubleLine.
As to the comparative fees and expenses, the Board considered the management fee paid by the Strategic Income Fund to the Adviser, and noted that the Adviser pays DoubleLine from its fee, which the Board had previously determined was reasonable. The Board also compared the sub-advisory fee paid by the Adviser to DoubleLine against the fees that DoubleLine charges other clients to manage similar strategies.

Based on the foregoing information, the Board, including the Independent Trustees, concluded that DoubleLine had provided quality services and could be expected to continue to do so for the Strategic Income Fund.
As to the cost of the services provided and the profits to be realized by DoubleLine, the Board reviewed DoubleLine’s financial condition. The Board, including the Independent Trustees, determined that the DoubleLine Sub-Advisory Agreement and the compensation to DoubleLine was reasonable and the financial condition of DoubleLine was adequate. The Board noted that DoubleLine has no affiliations with the Fund’s transfer agent, administrator, fund accountant, custodian, or distributor and therefore does not derive any benefits from the relationships these parties may have with the Trust.
Based upon such information as they considered necessary to the exercise of their reasonable business judgment, the Trustees, including all of the Independent Trustees, concluded that it was in the best interests of the Strategic Income Fund to continue the DoubleLine Sub-Advisory Agreement between the Adviser and DoubleLine for an additional one-year period.
