HOW DID THE FUND PERFORM LAST YEAR?
For the fiscal year ended September 30, 2024, the Fund’s exposure to closed-end funds (CEFs) was the primary driver of returns. Deconstructing the Fund’s CEF portfolio further, exposure to the underlying net asset values (NAV) contributed the most to performance over the period, with CEF discount narrowing also contributing significant positive returns.
The Fund also experienced positive absolute contribution from its exposure to exchange traded funds , investment company debt and business development companies. However, these asset classes contributed negatively to performance on a relative basis when compared against the Fund’s primary benchmark.
CEF investor sentiment continues to improve, bolstered to some extent by the Federal Reserve's September interest rate cut, which was the first since the pandemic. While CEF discounts have moved towards longer-term averages, we believe there are still opportunities for further discount narrowing from here. To that end, we believe the Fund is positioned well to take advantage of CEF trading opportunities as they present themselves. Additionally, our view is that owning CEFs trading at a discount is an excellent source of incremental yield and potential capital appreciation, relative to owning the underlying assets directly.

HOW DID THE FUND PERFORM LAST YEAR?
For the fiscal year ended September 30, 2024, the Fund’s exposure to the Tactical Closed-End Fund Income strategy, managed by RiverNorth Capital Management, LLC was the primary driver of returns. Looking within the strategy, exposure to closed-end fund ("CEF") net asset values combined with discount narrowing were the largest drivers of returns. The strategy’s exposure to investment company debt contributed positively to absolute returns, however it detracted on a relative basis as compared to the Fund’s primary benchmark.
The Core Fixed Income Strategy and the Opportunistic Income Strategy, both managed by DoubleLine Capital, LP, also contributed positively to returns relative to the Fund’s benchmark.
We believe each of these strategies has a compelling investment thesis. The Opportunistic Fixed Income strategy provides exposure to a diversified portfolio of traditional and bespoke credit assets overseen by what we believe to be is one of the top fixed income managers in the world. As CEF investor sentiment continues to improve, the Tactical Closed-End Fund Income strategy may be poised to benefit from further discount narrowing. The Core Fixed Income strategy provides exposure to a diversified portfolio of fixed income assets while also providing capital that can be rapidly deployed in the event of further capital market or interest rate volatility.

HOW DID THE FUND PERFORM LAST YEAR?
For the fiscal year ended September 30, 2024, the Fund’s exposure to high yield bonds was the primary driver of returns. The Fund’s exposure to investment company debt also contributed positively to returns over the fiscal year. Trading activities within the RiverNorth Capital Management, LLC sleeve detracted from returns relative to the Fund’s primary benchmark for the fiscal year.
The Fund continues to offer investors access to Oaktree Fund Advisers, LLC, in our opinion one of the world’s top credit managers, while also providing a unique source of income and potential capital appreciation by overlaying opportunistic exposure to closed end funds, business development companies, and investment company debt.

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. The Strategic Income Fund’s sub-adviser is DoubleLine Capital, LP (“DoubleLine”). The investment objective of the Strategic Income Fund is current income and overall total return.
The RiverNorth/Oaktree High Income Fund (the “High Income Fund”) is a diversified series of the Trust and commenced investment operations on December 28, 2012. The High Income Fund offers two classes of shares, Class I Shares and Class R Shares. The investment adviser to the High Income Fund is RiverNorth. The High Income Fund’s sub-adviser is Oaktree Fund Advisors, LLC (“Oaktree Capital,” and with DoubleLine, each a “Sub-Adviser” or collectively, the “Sub-Advisers”). Effective August 10, 2021, as part of an internal corporate reorganization, Oaktree Capital Management, L.P., the Fund’s previous sub-adviser, transferred its sub-advisory agreement with the High Income Fund to Oaktree Capital. The investment objective of the High Income Fund is overall total return consisting of long-term capital appreciation and income.
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 and financial highlights 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 and financial highlights 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 and financial highlights may differ from the value the Funds ultimately realize upon sale of the securities. The financial statements and financial highlights have been prepared as of the close of the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE” or the "Exchange") on September 30, 2024.

RiverNorth Funds | Notes to Financial Statements and Financial Highlights |

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 financial highlights, 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 year ended September 30, 2024, no foreign capital gains tax was accrued or paid by the Funds.

September 30, 2024
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 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 year ended September 30, 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 year ended September 30, 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 the Funds’ portfolio investments, subject to the Board's oversight.
Equity securities, including common stocks, warrants, closed-end funds, exchange traded funds, preferred stocks, and business development 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, 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, 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.

RiverNorth Funds | Notes to Financial Statements and Financial Highlights |
September 30, 2024
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.

RiverNorth Funds | Notes to Financial Statements and Financial Highlights |
September 30, 2024
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 year ended September 30, 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.
As of September 30, 2024, the Funds had the following unfunded loan commitments outstanding, as detailed below:
Fund | | Borrower | | Amount | |
RiverNorth/Oaktree High Income Fund | | American Rock Salt Company LLC, First Lien - Initial Term Loan | | $ | 9,375 | |
RiverNorth/Oaktree High Income Fund | | ASP Unifrax | | | 116,000 | |
| | | | $ | 125,375 | |
The Funds may commit to an investment that has yet to fund because the applicable deal has not closed. Additionally, the Adviser or its affiliates may commit to an investment that it intends to allocate to the Funds for which certain terms are not yet finalized at the time of the commitment and as such the Fund’s allocation may change prior to the date of funding. In this regard, a Fund may have to fund additional commitments in the future that it is currently not obligated to fund. Such investments are not included in the unfunded commitments outstanding table above.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement whether due to error or fraud.

Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of September 30, 2024, by correspondence with the custodian, agent banks, and brokers; when replies were not received from agent banks or brokers, we performed other auditing procedures.
