Dear Fellow Shareholders,
Recapping the events of this past year would include a journey across various asset classes and sectors where clear and identifiable market themes were often short-lived. Historically, I would be able to share with you how some investment types did well while others lagged across a meaningful timeframe. During the past 12 months, most asset classes were at one point in the spotlight and the next on the sidelines. Yes, there is still uncertainty in Europe, the leaders in the United States have not yet implemented a plan to unwind the soaring debt that it has amassed and the Federal Open Market Committee continues to contribute to extremely low interest rates that someday must rise. However, these are all backdrops that have persisted through my letters to you over the past few years. Are there some changes in the state or condition of these items? Yes, of course, but none have been enough to give the average investor back the confidence that they once had.
I see this fear and concern persist each day and that is why we continue to work towards solutions that provide you with additional tools to navigate this turbulent market environment. Some of those tools will come in the form of a new Dunham Fund, such as the Dunham Alternative Income Fund. We launched this Fund in September in direct response to many of you voicing your interest in a fund that provides dividend income through non-traditional means. In my April letter, I introduced you to the Dunham Focused Large Cap Growth Fund, which was launched last December to provide yet another option to each of you. I continue to keep an eye out for other opportunities such as these and I take your comments into consideration as we weigh the prospects that arise.
While some of you use a few of the Dunham Funds, I know of many others who use all of the Funds we offer. Some of you choose to adjust your portfolios each time a new "Breaking News" headline flashes on your LCD screen, while others turn the television off and trust your financial advisors to guard your hard-earned investments. I can tell you that during the past 12 months, I am pleased with the overall results of the Dunham Funds line-up, as we saw strong performance from our most conservative fixed income Funds to our most aggressive equity Funds. Of course, it is important to consider the ride along the way since last October. Global markets experienced a large rally in the final months of 2011 as moderately positive (or less negative) economic news filled U.S. headlines, the European Central Bank provided their "quick" liquidity relief plan for the euro-zone, and Chinese banking authorities made adjustments to enhance growth. From this, we saw 2012 begin with a bang as equities generally soared. Then the "S" in "PIGS" was flashed all over the news. The infamous quartet (quintet if you want to include Ireland); Portugal, Italy, Greece, and Spain were at it again. We saw the effect across the equities markets and the "risk-off" trade went into full swing.
As the U.S. presidential election neared, some positive economic news emerged, both domestically and in foreign markets, giving way to some indices reaching new highs for the year. As I have mentioned in previous letters, and to many of you in our conversations, just as we are not easily spooked when panic strikes the markets, we are also not quickly caught in the euphoria brought on by a few encouraging headlines. We understand that emotions are sometimes more prevalent in the price of securities or market fluctuations than the integrity and strength of the underlying fundamentals. These are often the opportunities that our Sub-Advisers seek to take advantage of when these pricing opportunities emerge, and we are confident that our diverse Fund offerings will benefit each of you as the irrational market behavior subsides.
We remain steadfast in our commitment to provide you with the highest level of service and an investment experience tailored to your unique needs and goals. Once again, thank you for your continued trust and the confidence that you have placed in us. At Dunham, we take that very seriously.
Sincerely,
Jeffrey A. Dunham

Message from the Sub-Adviser (Westchester Capital Management, LLC)
The IQ Market Neutral Beta Index increased 0.9 percent over the fiscal year ending October 31, 2012, as market neutral investment strategies generally remained flat during the period. Merger arbitrage strategies, as measured by the HFRX Merger Arbitrage Index, generally saw a slight decline, decreasing 0.9 percent during the fiscal year. Falling behind both market neutral and merger arbitrage investment strategies, absolute return strategies, as measured by the HFRX Absolute Return Index, fell 1.0 percent over the same period. This was indicative of an environment where these different strategies were generally difficult to implement and where the Fund benefitted from its flexibility and diversity of strategies. The Sub-Adviser implements a variety of strategies in the Fund that attempt to take advantage of what it believes are the most attractive rewards for the lowest amount of risk.
Ranging from approximately 40 percent to 60 percent, merger arbitrage was the largest single strategy allocation within the Fund during the fiscal year. This allocation generally increased throughout the fiscal year, along with new merger deal activity as the Sub-Adviser identified opportunities that it believed offered attractive reward potential in relation to risk. The Sub-Adviser remains comfortable in the belief that the flow of new deals is still strong enough to be selective and not take excessive risk in the Fund. Towards the final months of the fiscal year, the mining-oriented merger involving Glencore International PLC's (GLCNF) acquisition of Xstrata PLC (XTA LN) saw signs of resolution with shareholders causing Xstrata shares to surge more than 16.5 percent during the final fiscal quarter. The long-awaited completion of the acquisition of Dollar Thrifty Automotive Group (DTG) by Hertz Global Holdings, Inc. (HTZ) appeared to see some light at the end of the tunnel, as Dollar Thrifty finally agreed to a price almost 20 percent higher than the previous deal. Although the expectation was that this would fuel a surge in the Dollar Thrifty stock that would hold until the completion of the merger between the auto rental agencies, the shares fell sharply at the end of the final fiscal year as the Federal Trade Commission indicated that it may block the deal. The Sub-Adviser had trimmed much of the position in Dollar Thrifty during the highs of the final months of the fiscal year, but remains opportunistic that the deal will succeed.
The Sub-Adviser also implements buy/write strategies when it believes that there is ample risk-adjusted reward availability. At times, this strategy may overlap with the merger-arbitrage opportunities within the Fund. For example, at the start of October 2012, the consortium led by TPG Capital, a global private equity firm, finalized its acquisition of Par Pharmaceutical Companies, Inc. (PRX). While the Fund purchased the security close to its deal-price in mid-July, the Sub-Adviser capitalized on the stability provided by the acquisition and used the position as an opportunity for covered call writing. Upon the success of the deal, the Fund retained its premiums from the written calls and exited the position. Approximately 25 percent of the Fund was devoted to risk-reversal and buy/write opportunities, which generally helped positive performance during the fiscal year. Buy/write strategies in general, as measured by the CBOE Buy/Write Index, increased close to 13.1 percent during the fiscal year as the negative impact of four out of the 12 months for equities in general was not enough to overcome the generally positive performance in the other eight months of the fiscal year. However, the risk-reversal strategy implemented by the Sub-Adviser generally benefits the Fund versus a traditional buy/write strategy during negative periods, as some of the premium proceeds from writing the call option are used to purchase a put on the same security, thereby providing a "hedge" in the event of a fall in price.
Some of the strongest contributors to performance were the income-oriented strategies, which represented approximately 25 percent of the Fund's holdings. Some of the preferred stocks were a large driver of positive performance during the fiscal year, as Countrywide Capital V Bank of America Preferred (222388209) increased 24.2 percent. In addition, bonds in the portfolio generally aided overall performance, especially in the final fiscal quarter, as General Electric Capital Corp. notes (369622SN6) increased 6.2 percent since the bonds were purchased at the beginning of the fourth fiscal quarter. The Sub-Adviser continues to believe that increased capital requirements intended to shore up major banks’ balance sheets are driving these financial institutions to buy back a number of their preferred shares.
The Sub-Adviser continues to be optimistic that there are abundant attractive risk-reward opportunities available across the various strategies that it implements. The Sub-Adviser continues to be encouraged by the low financing costs for companies, which generally stimulates and supports new deal activity, providing additional options to choose from. In addition, reports have shown that the large cash positions, or "dry powder," of private equity firms has eclipsed $1 trillion. When this staggering number is combined with the unprecedented levels of cash held on corporate balance sheets and the increase in foreign deals, the future prospects in the merger-arbitrage strategy appear even more enticing.

Message from the Sub-Adviser (Newfleet Asset Management, LLC)
While investment-grade bonds in general, as measured by the Barclays Aggregate Bond Index, started the fiscal year in positive territory, this trend did not continue through the entire fiscal year ending October 31, 2012. As the fiscal year progressed, investment-grade bonds saw contrasting performance from one fiscal quarter to the next, almost in opposition to the movements of the equities markets. These shifts were most prevalent in Treasuries. Treasuries in the middle of the yield curve, as measured by the BofA ML Treasuries 5-7 Years Index, were up 4.4 percent during the fiscal year, but had declined as much as 2.5 percent during February and March. Long-term Treasuries, as measured by the BofA ML Treasuries 10+ Years Index, rose 10.3 percent over the fiscal year, contributing to a flattening yield curve. However, in an exaggerated fashion, these long-term Treasuries had dropped as much as 8.0 percent during the fiscal year from the end of July through mid-September. Broad investment-grade bonds in general ended the fiscal year up 5.3 percent, primarily due to the relative outperformance of corporate bonds, as measured by the BofA ML U.S. Corporate Bond Master Index, which increased 10.5 percent over the same time period. In contrast to their Treasury counterparts, investment-grade bonds and corporate bonds dropped only 0.3 percent and 0.7 percent, respectively, during the same period that the long-term Treasuries dropped 8.0 percent.
The performance of Treasuries across different maturities was disparate during both the fiscal quarter and the past fiscal year. While long-term Treasuries vastly underperformed intermediate-term Treasuries during the most recent fiscal quarter by close to 3.4 percent, the results were transposed when considering the last 12-month period. During the 12-month period ending October 31, 2012, long-term Treasuries outperformed intermediate-term Treasuries by almost 5.0 percent. The majority of the 12-month outperformance occurred after March 2012, when global equity markets experienced heightened concern regarding financial instability in Europe and the state of the U.S. economy. Long-term Treasury yields ended the fiscal year over 2.6 percent, which was almost 0.4 percent lower than the yields as of the beginning of the fiscal year. The Sub-Adviser continues to maintain a relative underweight to Treasuries in general, which added significantly to relative performance over the most recent fiscal quarter and over the past 12 months. The Sub-Adviser primarily focused on overweighting corporate bonds, which strongly benefitted performance even when compared against the performance of long-term Treasuries in general, as corporate bonds outperformed long-term Treasuries by 0.2 percent over the 12-month period.
The Sub-Adviser generally maintained an underweight to mortgage-backed securities during the fiscal year, but increased exposure during the final fiscal quarter to be in line with the benchmark index. Mortgage-backed securities in general, as measured by the BofA ML Mortgage Master Index, rose 3.5 percent during the fiscal year. Similarly, the Sub-Adviser increased exposure to commercial mortgage-backed securities (CMBS) in the final months of the fiscal year, which generally enhanced relative performance. Commercial mortgage-backed securities in general, as measured by the BofA ML CMBS Fixed Rate Index, rose 9.9 percent over the fiscal year. The Sub-Adviser is optimistic about how the Federal Open Market Committee’s recent actions in the fourth fiscal quarter may benefit the mortgage-backed securities market.
High-yield bonds, as measured by the BofA ML High-Yield Bond Cash Pay Index, increased 13.2 percent over the fiscal year, outperforming both investment-grade bonds and Treasuries, in general. The Sub-Adviser began the fiscal year with an approximate 20 percent weighting to high-yield bonds, but decreased the exposure to 15 percent by the end of the 12-month period. In addition, this exposure to high-yield bonds has generally enhanced absolute and relative performance over the past year, as high-yield bonds outperformed investment-grade bonds by 7.9 percent.
While the Sub-Adviser has retained an optimistic outlook on the U.S. economy, it does not anticipate that the economy will see substantial growth, but rather may see low-to-moderate growth. The Sub-Adviser believes that even slow growth may be a positive for debt holders, as it generally should not hinder companies from making coupon and principal payments. The Sub-Adviser continues to view Europe with cautious optimism and believes that while there may be increased levels of volatility in the short-term, it may be on its way toward a recovery.

Dunham High-Yield Bond Fund
Message from the Sub-Adviser (PENN Capital Management Company, Inc.)
In a fiscal year marked by increased accommodative monetary policy by the Federal Open Market Committee and general progress within the euro-zone, high-yield bonds, as measured by the BofA ML High-Yield Bond Cash Pay Index, increased 13.2 percent over the fiscal year. High-yield bonds outperformed their investment-grade counterparts, as measured by the Barclay’s Aggregate Bond Index, and broad Treasuries, as measured by the BofA ML Treasury Master Index as investors broadly expanded their appetite for risk. High-yield bonds outperformed investment grade bonds by 7.9 percent and Treasuries by 9.4 percent. High-yield bonds generally experienced strong performance throughout the fiscal year, especially when other investments associated with increased risk, such as stocks, also surged. However, even when stocks in general, as measured by the S&P 500 Index, tumbled 9.6 percent in April and May, high-yield bonds only fell 0.7 percent.
Reversing the trend in the third fiscal quarter, high-yield bonds rated CCC and lower outperformed bonds rated BB and B during the fourth fiscal quarter ending October 31, 2012. During the fourth fiscal quarter bonds rated CCC and lower increased 3.9 percent, while B-rated bonds increased 3.4 percent and BB-rated bonds increased 3.3 percent. This outperformance of CCC-rated bonds increased their lead over the 12-month period versus bonds rated BB and B to 1.7 percent and 1.4 percent, respectively. This relative outperformance of bonds rated CCC and lower generally detracted from the Fund’s relative performance as the Sub-Adviser continues to focus on BB- and B-rated bonds. The Sub-Adviser pairs this defensive approach in credit ratings with a focus on shorter duration bonds within the high-yield space. The average duration of the benchmark index BofA ML High-Yield Bond Cash Pay Index, was approximately 4.8 years, significantly higher than the Fund’s average duration of approximately 3 years. While this lower average duration generally provides the Fund less sensitivity to interest rate changes, it often correlates with shorter maturities and lower-yielding bonds within the high-yield space.
Though the Sub-Adviser generally underweighted high-yield bonds in the energy sector during most of the fiscal year, it reversed that position to an overweight during the final months. The underweight during the 12-month period generally improved relative performance, as high-yield bonds in the sector generally increased 9.7 percent. However, in the fourth fiscal quarter the overweight in the sector slightly detracted from relative performance, as high-yield bonds within the sector were up 3.4 percent on average during the fourth fiscal quarter. Reducing the negative impact of the overweight in the final three months, many of the bonds that the Sub-Adviser selected outperformed both the energy sector and the benchmark index. Coal miners such as Arch Coal Inc. (039380AB6) and Cloud Peak Energy (18911MAD3) rose 5.3 percent and 5.8 percent, respectively, during the fourth fiscal quarter. However, the strongest performer in the portfolio within the coal industry was Massey Energy Co. (576203AJ2), a coal producer that was purchased in 2011 by Alpha Natural Resources, Inc. The Massey Energy Co. bonds increased 13.0 percent during the fourth fiscal quarter. Holdings outside of the coal industry, such as Chesapeake Energy Corporation (165167CD7), which focuses on oil and natural gas, rose 6.6 percent during the fourth fiscal quarter.
The Fund remained underweight in the healthcare sector throughout the fiscal year, which the Sub-Adviser continues to believe is a riskier sector in the high-yield bond market. This underweight generally benefitted relative performance, as high-yield healthcare bonds underperformed high-yield bonds as a whole by 0.5 percent during the fiscal year. Within the sector, some holdings such as MedAssets Inc. (584045AC2), a provider of software solutions for hospitals, outperformed both the sector in general and contributed to positive relative performance versus the benchmark index. Since its addition to the Fund mid-November of 2011, the MedAssets Inc. holding increased 18.1 percent while the high-yield bonds within the healthcare sector rose 13.8 percent during the same time period.
The Sub-Adviser has not deviated from its focus on BB- and B-rated bonds and it believes that as companies continue to deleverage and lessen risk, and the economy obtains a solid footing, the high-yield bond market may benefit. The Sub-Adviser remains optimistic that growth rates will remain positive and that any growth will benefit high-yield bonds, in general, as companies may continue to pay back their debt from the steady growth.

Dunham Loss Averse Equity Income Fund
Message from the Sub-Adviser (PVG Asset Management Corp.)
Long/Short investment strategies, as measured by the IQ Hedge Long/Short Beta Index, gained 0.9 percent over the 12-month period ending October 31, 2012. During the first fiscal quarter the Sub-Adviser believed that the fears concerning the sovereign debt crisis in Europe and the possibility of the U.S. economy slipping back into a recession were overdone and began to have a more bullish market outlook. As the economy continued to mend, the Sub-Adviser felt that cyclical names, particularly in the retail space, may add value to the Fund. In the second half of the fiscal year, the Sub-Adviser became more cautious, increasing exposure to more conservative names that pay relatively high dividends and adding more inverse ETF positions to guard against a declining market.
The Sub-Adviser continues to seek and maintain companies that generate income within the Fund, focusing on companies that pay what it believes are attractive dividends. In addition to income generation, the Sub-Adviser is also opportunistic with regards to companies with attractive valuation levels or the potential for significant capital appreciation. As well, it employs an inverse ETF strategy as a hedging mechanism to provide downward protection in falling markets.
The Fund increased its exposure to financial services stocks during the fiscal year, believing the stocks may add value as economic fundamentals continued to improve. More specifically, within the financial services sector, the Sub-Adviser was bullish on business development companies, a form of publicly traded private equity that invests in small upcoming businesses. The Sub-Adviser believes these firms are poised for growth as the Dodd-Frank legislation has an increasing effect on banks and their ability to take risk. One such business development company, Prospect Capital Corporation (PSEC), gained nearly 40 percent in the 12-month period ending October 31, 2012.
Mortgage REITs had a positive effect during the fiscal year, though the Sub-Adviser recently began trimming positions in the sector due to yield compression and a perception of higher risk in the sector. These types of securities rallied in anticipation and in response to the Federal Reserve’s announcement of a $40 billion dollar per month plan to buy mortgage backed securities, though they did retreat somewhat after the initial announcement of the bond buying program. Mortgage REITs pulled back even more in October as investors pondered whether the firms could continue to pay such rich dividends and how the impending “fiscal cliff” may affect these highly leveraged companies. Still, companies like Northstar Realty Finance Corporation (NRF), one such firm held by the Fund that invests primarily in commercial mortgage instruments, nearly doubled during the fiscal year.
Exposure to inverse ETFs and relatively large cash positions during portions of the fiscal year detracted somewhat from performance as the Sub-Adviser attempted to maintain a low beta. In finance, the beta of a stock or portfolio measures the volatility of the said asset in relation to the volatility of the benchmark that the asset is being compared to, such as the S&P 500 Index. For example, a beta of 1.0 would indicate identical volatility as compared to the index. A lower beta means the asset is less volatile than the index. A low beta is necessary to a strategy in which the goal is to produce a positive return in all markets, however, so naturally it will not perform as well when the stock market rallies.
Going forward, the Fund will maintain in a defensive stance due to concerns about the global economy. The Sub-Adviser believes the U.S. is still in a secular bear market that started in 2000 and is 3.5 years into a cyclical bull market. No major improvements are seen until the U.S. can grow GDP at a faster rate than debt, which is not in the foreseeable future because of economic factors that are beyond the control of the government or the Federal Reserve.

Dunham Appreciation & Income Fund
Message from the Sub-Adviser (Calamos Advisors, LLC)
Convertible securities, as measured by the Merrill Lynch Convertibles ex Mandatory Index, rose 9.4 percent in the 12-month period ending October 31, 2012. The Sub-Adviser continues to invest mostly in so called “hybrid convertible bonds” that are close to their repayment price (+/- 15 percent), therefore limiting downside risk. However, these securities also respond well to rising stock prices. According to the Fund’s valuation model, approximately 90 percent of capital should be protected in a downturn, while enjoying about 50 percent of the gain if the equity rises. Issuance of new convertible bonds this year is on pace to beat 2011, but still low by historical standards. Most of the new issues have been below investment grade, which the Fund tends to shy away from due to its more conservative strategy. Some unrated convertible bonds that meet strict criteria may be added in the future as underexposure to below investment grade convertibles has been an issue for the Fund.
Exposure to the information technology sector was an overall positive for the Fund in the 12-month period ending October 31, 2012, though some gains were given back in October as technology stocks pulled back. The Sub-Adviser maintained a strong overweight of more than 8 percent after trimming the sector by approximately 5 percent during the second and third fiscal quarters. Both the overweight and security selection played a part in relative performance against the benchmark. The Sub-Adviser believes these firms to have better efficiency and more room for productivity gains than other sectors. Teradata Corporation (TDC), a diversified computer systems firm, gained nearly 15 percent in the time period studied.
The Sub-Adviser added to the energy sector during the time period studied, moving from an equal weight position at the beginning of the period to a more than 4 percent overweight relative to the benchmark. The Sub-Adviser intends to continue overweighting the sector in the belief that energy prices will remain high as many central banks around the world continue to ease monetary policy in an attempt to bolster their sluggish economies.
A large overweight to the materials sector detracted somewhat from performance, though it rebounded quite well in the fourth fiscal quarter. The Sub-Adviser maintained that an unusually large spread between the price of gold mining companies and the spot price of gold had finally closed somewhat in recent months, which led to the outperformance. The Fund currently devotes approximately 10 percent of the portfolio to such securities, while the benchmark index has about a 4 percent weighting. Similar to the energy sector, the Sub-Adviser believes that commodities will continue to rise because of current Federal Reserve monetary policies and that of central banks around the world. Yamana Gold, Inc. (AUY), a Toronto based mineral exploration firm, rose more than nearly 40 percent during the fiscal year..
Going forward, no material changes to the current strategy are anticipated. The Fund expects GDP growth to remain sluggish despite signs of recovery in the housing market and growing consumer confidence. While corporate balance sheets appear healthy, unemployment and government debt levels remain high. Trends in manufacturing and the auto industry support the case for slow but positive economic growth. The Sub-Adviser believes equity valuations remain attractive despite the recent market advance.

Dunham Large Cap Value Fund
Message from the Sub-Adviser (C.S. McKee, L.P.)
Large cap value stocks, as measured by the Russell 1000 Value Index, rose 16.8 percent in the 12-month period ending October 31, 2012. Strong returns in the financials, healthcare, and consumer discretionary sectors were largely responsible for the asset class’ gains. Outsized returns in financial services and healthcare stocks particularly enhanced performance as they are two of the largest components of the index.
Financial stocks were the largest contributor to performance in the Fund despite a severe underweight to the sector. Individual stock selection in this sector outperformed financial stocks contained in the benchmark index by nearly 10 percent, which added relative value, however. The Sub-Adviser still believes there are significant headwinds to be overcome in the banking industry and broader financial sector and plans to maintain a significant underweight until there is more visibility. Wells Fargo & Company (WFC), a large regional bank, was the largest contributor to performance in the sector and second largest contributor in the Fund, returning more than 33 percent during the twelve-month period.
Although healthcare stocks were a top contributor to the benchmark, they dragged somewhat on the Fund due mainly to poor selection. One holding, in particular, Humana, Inc. (HUM), was responsible for stunted performance in the sector. The health care plan provider declined by more than 16 percent over the fiscal year, taking a very large hit in the third fiscal quarter before recovering somewhat in the fourth. The Sub-Adviser said the large decline was mainly due to the Supreme Court upholding most portions of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, commonly known as Obamacare. The Fund contends that fears concerning higher costs to insurers because of the new law are overblown and feels that the stock is an even better value now.
Exposure to the consumer staples sector added value on both a relative and absolute basis. The Sub-Adviser maintained a moderate overweight while its positions in the sector outperformed both consumer staples stocks held in the index as well as the overall index. Wal-Mart Stores, Inc. (WMT), a discount retailer, was one of the top performing stocks in the sector, gaining more than 35 percent in the 12-month period ending October 31, 2012.
The Fund underweighted the consumer discretionary sector by approximately 3 percent, which was a slight drag on performance, as discretionary was the highest returning sector in the benchmark. Individual security selection was a factor as well, though selling a moderate position in Best Buy Company, Inc. (BBY) in the first fiscal quarter aided performance. The electronics retailer has since declined by approximately 35 percent.
Both an underweight and security selection in the utilities sector enhanced performance over the fiscal year. The Sub-Adviser had an average weight 4.5 percent while the index was weighted at 7.2 percent in this underperforming sector. As well, selections in the Fund outperformed utilities stocks contained within the index. NextEra Energy, Inc. (NEE), a Florida-based electric utility in the Fund, returned more than 29 percent during the fiscal year.
Going forward, the Sub-Adviser has no material changes planned for the Fund. It expects that the outcome of the U.S. Presidential election will have little long-term effect on the markets. The Sub-Adviser does not see the impending “Fiscal Cliff” as an area of concern as they expect that it will be resolved by the end of the year.

Dunham Large Cap Growth Fund
Message from the Sub-Adviser (Mar Vista Investment Partners, LLC)
Large cap growth stocks closed the fiscal year ending October 31, 2012 up 13.0 percent as measured by the Russell 1000 Growth Index, being slightly outperformed by broad equity markets, as measured by the Standard & Poors 500 Index, which posted a gain of 15.2 percent. Investor uncertainty concerning the state of domestic and world economies as well as debt concerns in Europe plagued the first fiscal quarter and contributed to mostly flat returns in both November and December. Towards the end of the first fiscal quarter equity markets appeared to reflect growing investor confidence as many corporations reported strong earnings and the domestic economic picture began to show signs of life. The second fiscal quarter started strong with the months of February and March posting solid gains before ending predominantly flat in April. Improving investor confidence in the domestic economy, waning concerns regarding the euro-zone debt crisis, and strong corporate quarterly earnings by over 80 percent of reporting companies, contributed to the overall positive second fiscal quarter. However, by the middle of April, lackluster domestic economic reports, resurfacing concerns over the euro-zone debt crisis (particularly in Spain) and less than promising economic reports from China may have led to investors reassessing their positions. As the summer progressed, the issues in Europe and China became more pronounced and concerns began to appear over the coming of a so-called “Fiscal Cliff”. The markets became more volatile and October saw a sharp downturn with uncertainty over the election and other economic issues.
During the first fiscal quarter the Sub-Adviser felt the domestic economic picture was beginning to stabilize and the equity markets once again focused on company fundamentals. Sector weightings and stock selection in the industrial and information technology sectors as well as strong stock selection in the consumer discretionary sectors positively impacted performance, helping to offset underperformance in the healthcare and financial services sectors. Companies such as: The Walt Disney Co. (DIS), an entertainment provider, and Exxon Mobil Corporation (XOM), a producer of crude oil and natural gas, posted strong gains of 43.1 percent and 19.7 percent for the year, respectively.
Despite the strong start to the second fiscal quarter, the Sub-Adviser believed that the global economic environment had started to cool down and the possibility of a pullback had increased. Due to the possibility of a pullback in the equity markets, the Sub-Adviser paid particular attention to companies it believed could weather market volatility should the global and domestic economic picture continue to dim. The Fund was overweight consumer staples relative to the benchmark index. Defensive companies such as Anheuser Busch InBev (BUD), a large beverage provider, and Coca-Cola Co. (KO), also a large beverage provider, posted gains of 54.3 percent and 11.8 percent, respectively, for the year. Financial services giant Visa, Inc. (V) posted a strong gain of 22 percent over the second fiscal quarter and 50.0 percent for the year ending October 31, 2012.
Looking forward, the Sub-Adviser continues to have concerns regarding the Fiscal Cliff, the ongoing debt crisis in Europe, potential unrest in the Middle East and the slowing global economy. The Sub-Adviser will continue to invest in what it considers “wide-moat” businesses that provide competitive advantages and abundant opportunities to grow and reinvest capital at high rates of return. Furthermore, the Sub-Adviser feels due to valuation and the quality companies within the Fund, the impact from the macro-economic environment has been minimized.

Dunham Focused Large Cap Growth Fund
Message from the Sub-Adviser (The Ithaka Group LLC)
Large cap growth stocks, as measured by the Russell 1000 Growth Index, rose 13.0 percent for the fiscal year ending October 31, 2012 mainly due to a strong bull market for large cap growth stocks in general, as evidenced by the 15.2 percent gain in the S&P 500. This increase was primarily driven by investors reallocating from their “lower-risk” investments to opportunities in the areas of the market that are generally associated with “higher-risk” and higher returns, such as growth stocks. The Sub-Adviser implements a concentrated approach to investing in large cap growth stocks which generally means that the Fund is more sensitive to an individual holding’s performance than the performance of any single sector or the performance of the benchmark index as a whole.
The largest holding in the Fund and in the benchmark index, Apple, Inc. (AAPL), rose 51.9 percent since it was purchased by the Fund near the beginning of December 2011. Concern that Apple, Inc.’s substantial size would inevitably dampen earnings growth contributed to the containment of its valuation during 2011, but recently both the forward earnings estimate and valuation leaped ahead by double digits. The Sub-Adviser anticipates continued robust growth for Apple, Inc., as the company continues to introduce cutting-edge products and enter new markets with success. Another large holding in the Fund and contributor to performance was Salesforce.com, Inc. (CRM), adding 17.8 percent since its initial purchase in December 2011. The large increase was primarily due to the company delivering strong earnings and sales numbers, up almost 40 percent and ahead of expectations. Both of these firms are members of the information technology sector of the benchmark index. The information technology sector rose 13.1 percent since December 9, 2011, significantly lagging the performance of Apple, Inc. and Salesforce.com, Inc.
Within the consumer discretionary sector, Coach, Inc. (COH), a producer of leather goods such as purses and cases, decreased 9.1 percent for the fiscal year, while the consumer discretionary sector in general increased 18.3 percent. This lackluster performance was primarily due to investor concern about the decrease in reported North American sales. The position in Coach, Inc. detracted from the Fund’s performance in the latest fiscal quarter relative to the benchmark index and the sector, but this was somewhat offset by the Fund’s significant exposure to Priceline.com, Inc. (PCLN). Priceline.com, Inc., a website serving bargain hunting-travelers, increased 19.6 percent for the year as the company continues to boast operating margins well-above competitors and produce strong earnings results. The Sub-Adviser continued to favor Priceline.com, Inc. as it continues to lead competition in the “room-bidding” marketplace which is heavily used by both business and non-business patrons across the country.
The Fund slightly reduced exposure to stocks headquartered outside of the United States, as it exited China-based New Oriental Education & Technology Group, Inc. (EDU), the largest comprehensive educational company in China, at the beginning of March. Subsequent to selling out of the position, the stock rose only 4 basis points through the end of the second fiscal quarter, significantly underperforming the benchmark index by almost 4.2 percent during the same timeframe. The Sub-Adviser does not have a target allocation for foreign-based companies as each stock in the Fund is subjected to the same fundamental criteria to be added or removed from the Fund’s holdings.
The Sub-Adviser primarily focuses on stocks that exhibit above average growth in revenues and cash flow and does not anticipate making significant changes to the existing holdings. The Sub-Adviser does not directly implement global or macroeconomic views into the selection process, but did voice concern over holdings that have significant exposure to Europe. As they focus more on individual companies instead of sectors, the Sub-Adviser will continue to seek out buying opportunities moving forward.

Dunham Alternative Income Fund
Message from the Sub-Adviser (Harbor Springs Financial Management LLC)
Dividend paying stocks, as measured by the Dow Jones US Select Dividend Index gained 2.0 percent for the quarter ending October 31, 2012. The quarter was rather volatile for the Index, as it was down 0.3 percent in August, up 1.8 percent in September and up 0.4 percent in October. As a comparison, the S&P 500 Index gained 2.3 percent in August, gained 2.6 percent in September, lost 1.9 percent in October for a cumulative 3.0 percent gain for the quarter. The Alternative Income Fund opened operations during the fourth quarter of the fiscal year with its inception date being September 14, 2012.
The previous three months were marked by strong growth mixed with global instability due to the European debt crisis, slowed growth in China, the pending “Fiscal Cliff” for the American market, and rising tension in the Middle East. The situations in Greece and Spain also weigh heavily on the global economy as their near 25% unemployment rates are creating a significant amount of uncertainty in the global marketplace. The growth in China had slowed to a point where the World Bank cut the growth forecast by a half a point. Turmoil in the Middle East also contributed to rising fuel costs which hampered consumer spending and put a strain on earnings not only due to the decreased consumer spending but also due to the increased cost to transport goods.
The Sub-Adviser began buying Treasuries to hedge against the uncertainty in the market. As the portfolio is a dividend-based one, the late start for the fund caused the performance to suffer as most of the holdings did not distribute a dividend before quarter end. The main focus of the Sub-Adviser is to find high dividends in relatively stable issues. This strategy is followed mainly through investments in oil, gas, utility, telecommunications, real estate and tobacco companies. Most of the holdings that the Sub-Adviser targets are in industries which are generally considered to be defensive. These holdings include: NextEra Energy, Inc. (NEE), an electricity generation and distribution company headquartered in Florida, Chiquita Brands International (CQB), an American producer and distributor of bananas and other produce, and AT&T (T) a major telecommunications company.
Looking forward, the election weighs heavily on the investment strategy of the Sub-Adviser. Depending on the results of the Presidential Election, the Sub-Adviser will adjust the portfolio based on beliefs that the winning politician will have an effect on the market of stocks which pay big dividends. As the Sub-Adviser focuses mainly on dividends, especially through investments in pipeline and drilling companies, the next quarter’s performance will be determined by the distributions and dividends at year-end for those firms.

Stocks are also required to have and annual average daily dollar trading volume of more than $1.5 million. These criteria help to ensure that the index represents the most widely traded of the market’s highest-yielding stocks. This is a total return index.

Dunham International Stock Fund
Message from the Sub-Adviser (Arrowstreet Capital, Limited Partnership)
International equity markets, as measured by the MSCI All Country World ex US (net) Index (Net) returned 4.0 percent during the 12-month period ending October 31, 2012.
The best performing developed market countries as measured by the Index during the fiscal year were Denmark, up 26.9 percent, and Belgium, up 26.6 percent. The worst performing developed market countries were Greece, down 27.9 percent, and, Portugal down 15.5 percent. The best performing emerging market countries during the fiscal year as measured by the Index were Turkey, up 32.2 percent, and Philippines, up 31.3 percent. The worst performing emerging market countries were Morocco, down 21.8 percent, and Brazil, down 12.7 percent.
The Sub-Adviser’s investment process is best characterized as a dynamic process that uses quantitative models to evaluate securities to exploit opportunities across companies, sectors, and countries while seeking to avoid long-term systematic biases toward any particular country, sector, style, or market capitalization. These stock selection models are designed to understand what information is likely to impact stock prices with a predictable and measurable lag that allows time to invest and profit. The models obtain the information to forecast individual stock returns by evaluating a stock’s potential on the basis of (1) direct effects - characteristics of the company itself; and (2) indirect effects - characteristics of other companies that are related by virtue of a common country and sector affiliation (called country/sector baskets); a common country affiliation; and a common global sector affiliation, and/or other common linkages. Over any time period, the strategy’s performance relative to the Index is driven by allocations to country/sector baskets, stock selection, and the effects of currency exposures differing from those of the Index.
Countries contributing most to returns relative to the Index during the fiscal year included: Brazil, primarily due to overweights in the consumer staples, energy, and utility sectors; and Thailand, primarily due to an overweight to the consumer discretionary sector. Countries contributing most to underperformance relative to the Index included: Brazil, primarily due to overweights to the financial services sector and China, primarily due to an overweight to the telecommunication services sector and underweights to both the financial services and information technology sectors.
Sectors contributing most to returns relative to the Index during the fiscal year included: the materials sector, primarily due to underweighting the sector in countries such as Australia and Canada; and the energy sector, primarily due to underweighting the sector in countries such as Canada, United Kingdom, and China. The sectors contributing the most to the underperformance relative to the Index included: the information technology sector, primarily due to an overweight in Finland; and the financial sector, primarily due to an overweight in Italy.
The stocks contributing most to returns relative to the Index during the fiscal year included: Novo Nordisk, a Danish healthcare company; and Telstra Corporation, an Australian telecommunication services company. Stocks contributing most to underperformance relative to the Index included: Nokia Corporation, an information technology company from Finland; and Unicredit, an Italian financial company.

Dunham Real Estate Stock Fund
Message from the Sub-Adviser (Cornerstone Real Estate Advisors LLC)
The real estate stock market, as measured by the FTSE NAREIT ALL REIT Index, performed remarkably well in the 12-month period ending October 31, 2012, returning 18.2 percent. The majority of those gains were logged in the first three fiscal quarters before REITs took a breather in the fourth fiscal quarter, losing 0.8 percent. Real estate securities outperformed U.S. stocks in general, as measured by the S&P 500, by approximately 4 percentage points. Mortgage and self-storage REITs were among the best performers in the index while apartment and healthcare REITs lagged.
In the first half of the fiscal year, the Sub-Adviser had underweighted healthcare REITs, which underperformed as the stock market rallied and higher risk securities took center stage. The underweight was a positive for the Fund and selection added some value as well. In the final two fiscal quarters, healthcare REITs were overweighted as a defensive measure when concerns about the world economy became re-established. The Sub-Adviser particularly focused on REITs that specialize in housing for the elderly rather than hospitals or medical office buildings. The rationale being that elderly housing facilities, such as nursing homes and assisted living facilities, will be less affected by a slowdown in the economy than say an office building that caters to doctors. The moderate overweight detracted slightly from performance while individual security selection was in line with healthcare REITs contained in the benchmark. Ventas, Inc. (VTR), a healthcare facilities REIT, bucked the trend, however, gaining more than 20 percent over the fiscal year. While the Chicago-based company does invest in some hospitals and medical office buildings, the main focus recently has been senior housing and skilled nursing facilities.
Exposure to self-storage REITs added value on both a relative and absolute basis in the 12-month period ending October 31, 2012. Both a large overweight to the sector and security selection drove the outperformance. The Fund continues to increase exposure to these securities because of what it considers to be attractive valuations and the fact that there have been fewer new storage operators entering the business as demand for more storage space has increased. It is more difficult to get permits for this type of business in most states and these facilities can be seen as something of an eyesore that most people do not want in their neighborhood. This relative shortage of space has allowed operators to raise prices with little consequence as customers have little choice but to pay the increased rental fees. Extra Space Storage, Inc. (EXR), a Salt Lake City based storage company, had the best performance in this sector, skyrocketing more than 60 percent over the fiscal year.
An overweight to apartment REITs had a somewhat negative effect on the Fund overall, though the sector did outperform during the first fiscal quarter and most of the second. The Sub-Adviser now feels that the sector may be somewhat richly valued and started cutting back exposure to these types of REITs in the third fiscal quarter. Currently, the Fund is maintaining a slight underweight to the sector. BRE Properties Inc. (BRE), which specializes in multi-family apartment communities, gained just over 3 percent in the 12-month period ending October 31, 2012.
Residential mortgage REITs were a large contributor to performance as continued low interest rates and intervention by the Federal Reserve to lower mortgage rates in particular, fueled the sector. Currently, the Fund is focused on mortgages that are guaranteed by a government agency, such as Fannie Mae. The Fund finds this sector particularly to be attractive since the Fed announced a plan to buy $40 billion of these types of securities per month for an extended period of time. The Sub-Adviser maintained a sizeable overweight and beat mortgage REITs contained in the benchmark index. American Capital Agency Corporation (AGNC), the Fund’s largest holding in the sector, increased more than 60 percent during the fiscal year.
Going forward, the Sub-Adviser expects slow but steady GDP growth with modest job creation over the next quarter and beyond with some delays until it is clear how the Fiscal Cliff will be handled. Despite economic uncertainty, real estate fundamentals remain sound and a record low interest rate environment which the Federal Reserve now projects out to 2015 should allow REITs to post competitive returns over the next 12 to 24 months.

Dunham Small Cap Value Fund
Message from the Sub-Adviser (Denver Investment Advisors LLC)
Small capitalization value stocks, as measured by the Russell 2000 Value Index, increased by 14.5 percent in the 12-month period ending October 31, 2012. The consumer cyclical and healthcare sectors were large contributors to the Fund’s performance relative to the benchmark. Individual security selection within those sectors was the main driver of performance, according to the Sub-Adviser.
The consumer cyclicals sector was one of the top performers relative to the benchmark in the 12-month period ending October 31, 2012. A slight underweight to the benchmark detracted slightly as this was the best performing sector in the index. Superior individual security selection made for the shortfall, however, and then some. One of the top ten holdings, Stage Stores, Inc. (SSI), a clothing retailer held by the Fund, increased by more than 60 percent during the fiscal year.
Stocks in the energy sector impacted positively on the Fund. Again, security selection was the main driver of the outperformance as the Sub-Adviser maintained a relative equal weight to the index. Berry Petroleum Company (BRY), an independent oil and gas firm, gained approximately 13 percent in the fiscal year while energy stocks contained in the index lost about 6 percent.
Exposure to the financial sector detracted from the performance of the Fund, as selections in the sector underperformed financial stocks within the benchmark index. A more than 1 percent underweight to the sector was a relative positive for the portfolio, however. Cash America International, Inc. (CSH), a specialty financial services company, was down more than 28 percent in the 12-month period ending October 31, 2012. The Sub-Adviser attributed the sharp fall to investor concerns about the possibility of government imposed restrictions on interest rates for payday loans. The firm deals mainly in pawn lending, consumer loans and check cashing, though there is also an E-Commerce segment which involves online gold buying and other ancillary services. The Fund will continue to monitor the stock but believes the fears of rate restrictions are mostly unfounded.
The healthcare sector had a positive effect on the Fund due to both an overweight to the sector and individual security selection. The Sub-Adviser overweighted healthcare stocks by more than 4 percent and had a 17.8 percent return while healthcare stocks within the index achieved a 14.4 percent increase. West Pharmaceutical Services, Inc. (WST), a manufacturer of medical instruments and supplies, was one of the best performing stocks held by the Fund during the fiscal year with more than a 40 percent return.
Holdings in the REITs sector detracted somewhat from performance as the Fund underweighted the sector and underperformed it as well. Still, one REIT holding that has a significant weighting managed to outperform the overall index as well as REITs within the index. Brandywine Realty Trust (BDN), a developer of office and industrial properties, rose 34 percent in the 12-month period ending October 31, 2012.
The Sub-Adviser continues to expect volatility in the market as several major domestic and global storylines play out, namely the lingering effects of the U.S. election, high unemployment rate, impending “Fiscal Cliff”, upcoming vote to raise the debt ceiling, debt crisis in Europe and resistance to Draconian austerity programs, along with unrest in the Middle East (Syria, Lebanon, Iran). The Sub-Adviser remains concerned but feels that these political and economic events should not significantly impact its stock research. The Fund is committed to maintaining a high-quality portfolio with liquid stocks that are able to withstand this volatility.

Message from the Sub-Adviser (Pier Capital, LLC)
Small capitalization growth equities, as measured by the Russell 2000 Growth Index, finished the fiscal year ending October 31, 2012 up 9.7 percent. Growth stocks in the small cap space lagged their larger cap peers, as measured by the Russell 1000 Growth Index, by 3.3 percentage points for the fiscal year. The relative underperformance occurred in the second fiscal quarter, especially April, as small cap growth equities, which are historically more volatile than large cap growth equities, experienced a stronger selloff than the broader market. The month of July also saw small caps lagging behind the large caps, with the Russell 2000 Growth Index falling 1.7 percent while the Russell 1000 Growth Index rose 1.3 percent.
The Sub-Adviser ended the first fiscal quarter with an overweight allocation to the industrials sector. The sector had been particularly sold off at the end of the prior fiscal year, as industrial firms often operate with a high amount of leverage and intensive capital requirements that can see margins rapidly shift depending on the economic cycle. The Sub-Adviser had avoided names in the sector that were particularly depressed in price, even though some had rallied strongly at times during the fiscal year, as it requires a fundamental firm catalyst rather than simply a “cheap” valuation to invest. The Sub-Adviser’s overall investment approach continues to target firms with secular market catalysts and novel product creation that can initially drive top-line sales, as well as eventually expanding bottom-line margins and revenue.
By the close of the second fiscal quarter, the Fund had an approximate 5 percent overweight allocation to the industrials sector, an increased overweighting from the end of January and the modest underweight to begin the fiscal year. The Sub-Adviser monitored recessionary developments in Europe, since the widespread deflation there has the potential to impact manufacturing orders from U.S. firms, as well as the potential for a sharp slowdown in Chinese export growth. While the Sub-Adviser did notice a moderation in factory orders during the year and continues to carefully observe the situation, it does feel that the domestic manufacturing resurgence may still continue and has found attractive growth prospects in the sector. In the industrials space, top performers held during the fiscal year included names such as jet cabin designer BE Aerospace, Inc. (BEAV), which rose 19.5 percent, and less-than-truckload motor carrier Old Dominion Freight Line, Inc. (ODFL), which added 37.8 percent.
The information technology sector was the largest absolute weighting in the Fund across most of the fiscal year, rising from a 21.5 percent allocation in early November to approximately 35 percent by April’s close. The Sub-Adviser especially increased the overweighting to this sector over the second fiscal quarter. OSI Systems, Inc. (OSIS) was a strong performer with a 34.3 percent gain since initial purchase in late February. OSI Systems manufactures electronic components for various industries including healthcare and defense, and rose after its Q3 profits increased 43 percent. The Fund exited, in several sales mid-March through mid-April, its position in Stratasys Inc. (SSYS) a developer of 3D printers for direct digital manufacturing. The final position closure in April came after the stock rallied on news of a merger with Israel’s Object Ltd., another 3D printer manufacturer, in a deal that valued both firms at $1.4 billion.
In contrast, the Sub-Adviser largely trimmed back its overweight allocation to consumer discretionary firms. While the Fund began the year significantly overweight the sector at 26.7 percent of holdings, by the end of April consumer discretionary stocks were a modest underweight, at approximately 14.9 percent of the Fund. Body Central Corp. (BODY), a retailer of inexpensive apparel for women, so-called “fast fashion,” was a top performer in the sector after rising 44.6 percent over the first two fiscal quarters but then saw its value plummet 67.1 percent after the month of April to close the fiscal year off 52.4 percent. Select Comfort Corp. (SCSS), a mattress retailer, was another strong consumer discretionary holdings, gaining 34.0 percent for the fiscal year. Looking forward the fund will continue to seek the growth opportunities in the small cap space.

Dunham Emerging Markets Stock Fund
Message from the Sub-Adviser (Marvin & Palmer Associates, Inc.)
The MSCI Emerging Markets Index rose 2.6 percent in the 12-month period ending October 31, 2012 in a fiscal year that was extremely volatile. Performance was especially positive in the months of December and January, following a weak early first fiscal quarter. That performance carried over into early February, though emerging markets stocks did appear to peak in mid-February, subsequently retreating into late April. Emerging markets equities continued to drop in the third fiscal quarter with the month of May showing the worst of the declines as investors flocked to less volatile investment vehicles. The fourth fiscal quarter was decidedly positive after a July and early August slowdown led to significant gains in the final half of the period as investors became more confident and monetary easing in developed countries seemed allay fears of a worldwide recession.
Exposure to China had a mainly positive effect on the Fund. The Sub-Adviser started the fiscal year with a moderate overweight to the country then trimmed exposure in the second half due to a slowing in the Chinese economy. Currently, the Fund is maintaining a fairly severe underweight, which has detracted slightly, though individual security selection had a distinctly positive impact. Still, the Sub-Adviser anticipates any slowdown in Chinese growth can to a large extent be managed by monetary authorities there. Within China, the Fund has maintained a strong overweight to the consumer discretionary sector as a part of its thematic play on the emerging affluence of middle class consumers. Brilliance China Automotive Holdings, Ltd. (1114 HK), which engages in the manufacture and sale of minibuses and automotive components, gained more than 13 percent during the fiscal year.
The Fund continued to overweight the Philippines, which was a large contributor to performance, due to a large overweight and security selection. The Sub-Adviser started the fiscal year with a moderate overweight to this country, which only comprises 0.9 percent of the index. By the fourth fiscal quarter, however, the Fund was overweighting the country by 7.5 percent. The Philippines is seen as a structural growth story that has a strong fiscal position and is in the middle of a credit expansion cycle that should lead to more domestic consumption. Bloomberry Resorts Corporation (BLOOM PM), a company that develops tourist facilities, casino entertainment, hotel, and amusement themed projects, gained more than 150 percent in the 12-month period ending October 31, 2012.
In light of the more positive macro environment in the latter part of the first fiscal quarter, the Sub-Adviser initially began adding to higher-beta, cyclically-sensitive sectors like materials and energy, though the Fund still underweighted both sectors for the length of the fiscal year. The Sub-Adviser maintained an overweight to the consumer discretionary, consumer staples and technology sectors. Positions in the technology sector added value during most of the fiscal year before falling off markedly in the fourth fiscal quarter. A large stake in Baidu, Inc. (BIDU), a Chinese search engine, detracted from relative performance, losing more than 30 percent in the 12-month period ending October 31, 2012. The consumer discretionary sector was more stable, outperforming in the first fiscal quarter, outperforming in the first and second fiscal quarters, underperforming slightly in the third before rebounding in the last fiscal quarter. Sands China Ltd. (1928.HK), a developer and operator of resorts and casinos, gained more than 27 percent over the fiscal year.
Going forward, the Fund is optimistic about the prospects for many emerging markets nations. Currently, emerging markets stocks are trading at a discount to that of developed countries, which the Sub-Adviser feels is undeserved due to their growth characteristics and the fact that most developed nations are experiencing sluggish growth if not flat out recession. No material changes are planned for the Fund. The focus will continue to be on emerging markets countries with favorable monetary policy, political reforms that promote domestic consumption and demographics that can support such consumption.

ORGANIZATION
Each Dunham Fund and collectively the Funds (the “Funds”) is a series of shares of beneficial interest in the Dunham Funds (the “Trust”), a Delaware Business Trust organized on November 28, 2007 and registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the “1940 Act”), as amended, as an open-end management investment company. Prior to that date, the Dunham Funds were a series of AdvisorOne Funds, also a Delaware Business Trust. The Dunham Funds currently consist of fourteen funds: Monthly Distribution Fund; Corporate/Government Bond Fund; High-Yield Bond Fund; Loss Averse Equity Income Fund; Appreciation & Income Fund; Large Cap Value Fund; Large Cap Growth Fund; Focused Large Cap Growth Fund; Alternative Income Fund; International Stock Fund; Real Estate Stock Fund; Small Cap Value Fund; Small Cap Growth Fund and Emerging Markets Stock Fund. The Monthly Distribution Fund, Large Cap Growth Fund, Focused Large Cap Growth Fund, Alternative Income Fund and Real Estate Stock Fund operate as non-diversified funds, while the remaining funds operate as diversified funds, within the meaning of the 1940 Act.

Currently, each Fund offers Class A, Class C and Class N shares. Each class represents an interest in the same assets of the applicable Fund with the only difference being that Class A shares are subject to a front-end sales charge and an annual distribution fee and Class C shares are subject to an annual service and distribution fee. The Class C and N shares, with the exception of Monthly Distribution, High-Yield Bond, Loss Averse Equity Income, Focused Large Cap Growth and Alternative Income, commenced operations on December 10, 2004 and were formed as a result of tax-free conversions from common trusts. The conversions were accomplished through the exchange of the common trust securities, cash, and other assets for equivalent value of the Funds’ shares. High-Yield Bond Class C and N shares commenced operations on July 1, 2005. The Class A shares for all Funds except Monthly Distribution, Loss Averse Equity Income, Focused Large Cap Growth and Alternative Income commenced operations on January 3, 2007. Monthly Distribution‘s Predecessor Fund’s Class A shares and C shares commenced operations on December 26, 2000. Monthly Distribution Class N shares commenced operations on September 29, 2008. Loss Averse Equity Income commenced operations on April 30, 2010. Focused Large Cap Growth commenced operations on December 8, 2011. Alternative Income commenced operations on September 14, 2012. Effective June 15, 2012, the Loss Averse Equity Income changed its name from Loss Averse Growth.

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of increases and decreases in net assets from operations during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
The following is a summary of significant accounting policies followed by the Funds in preparation of their financial statements.
a. Security Valuation – In determining each Fund’s Net Asset Value (“NAV”) per share, equity securities for which market quotations are readily available are valued at current market value using the last reported sales price. NASDAQ traded securities are valued using the NASDAQ official closing price (“NOCP”). If no sale price is reported, the last bid price is used. If market quotations are not readily available, then securities are valued at fair value as determined by the Board of Trustees (the “Board”) (or its delegate). U.S. Government and agency securities are valued at the mean between the most recent bid and asked prices. Short-term debt instruments with a remaining maturity of more than 60 days, intermediate and long-term bonds, convertible bonds, and other debt securities are generally valued on the basis of dealer supplied quotations or by a pricing system selected by Dunham & Associates Investment Counsel, Inc. (“Dunham & Associates” or the “Adviser”) and approved by the Board. Where such prices are not available, valuations will be obtained from brokers who are market makers for such securities. However, in circumstances where the Adviser deems it appropriate to do so, the mean of the bid and asked prices for over-the-counter securities or the last available sale price for exchange-traded debt securities may be used. Where no last sale price for exchange traded debt securities is available, the mean of the bid and asked prices may be used. Short-term debt securities with a remaining maturity of 60 days or less are valued at amortized cost, provided such valuations represent fair value.
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)
October 31, 2012
Options are valued at the last reported sale price at the close of the exchange on which the security is primarily traded. If no sales are reported for the exchange-traded options, or the options are not exchange-traded, then they are valued at the mean of their most recent quoted bid and asked price. Futures contracts are valued at the daily quoted settlement prices.
Equity swaps are valued at the last reported sale price at the close of the exchange on which the underlying security is primarily traded. If no sale price is reported, the last bid price is used.
Trading in securities on Far Eastern securities exchanges and over-the-counter markets is normally completed well before the close of business on each business day in New York (i.e., a day on which the NYSE is open). In addition, Far Eastern securities trading generally, or in a particular country or countries, may not take place on all business days in New York. Furthermore, trading takes place in Japanese markets on certain Saturdays and in various foreign markets on days, which are not business days in New York, and on which a Fund’s NAV is not calculated. Each Fund calculates NAV per share, and therefore effects sales, redemptions and repurchases of its shares, as of the close of regular trading on the NYSE once on each day on which the NYSE is open. Such calculation may not take place contemporaneously with the determination of the prices of the majority of the portfolio securities used in such calculation. If events that may materially affect the value of such securities occur between the time when their price is determined and the time when the Fund’s NAV is calculated, such securities may be valued at fair value as determined in good faith in accordance with procedures approved by the Board.
Securities for which current market quotations are not readily available, or for which quotations are not deemed to be representative of market values, are valued at fair value as determined in good faith by or under the direction of the Board in accordance with the Trust’s Portfolio Securities Valuation Procedures (the “Procedures”). The Procedures consider, among others, the following factors to determine a security’s fair value: the nature and pricing history (if any) of the security; whether any dealer quotations for the security are available; and possible valuation methodologies that could be used to determine the fair value of the security.
Securities in which the Funds invest may be traded in markets that close before 4:00 p.m. Eastern Time (“ET”). Normally, developments that occur between the close of the foreign markets and 4:00 p.m. ET will not be reflected in the Fund’s NAV. However, Funds may determine that such developments are so significant that they will materially affect the value of the Fund’s securities, and the Fund may adjust the previous closing prices to reflect what the Board believes to be the fair value of these securities as of 4:00 p.m. ET. Effective July 1, 2009, both International Stock and Emerging Markets Stock began using fair value prices as provided by an independent pricing vendor on a daily basis for those securities traded on a foreign exchange.
The Funds utilize various methods to measure the fair value of most of their investments on a recurring basis. GAAP establishes a hierarchy that prioritizes inputs to valuation methods. The three levels of input are:
Level 1 – Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities.
Level 2 – Observable inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly. These inputs may include quoted prices for the identical instrument on an inactive market, prices for similar instruments, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, yield curves, default rates and similar data.
Level 3 – Unobservable inputs for the asset or liability, to the extent relevant observable inputs are not available, representing the Funds’ own assumptions about the assumptions a market participant would use in valuing the asset or liability, and would be based on the best information available.
The availability of observable inputs can vary from security to security and is affected by a wide variety of factors, including, for example, the type of security, whether the security is new and not yet established in the marketplace, the liquidity of markets, and other characteristics particular to the security. To the extent that valuation is based on models or inputs that are less observable or unobservable in the market, the determination of fair value requires more judgment. Accordingly, the degree of judgment exercised in determining fair value is greatest for instruments categorized in Level 3.
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.

The Funds did not hold any Level 3 securities during the year.
There were no transfers into or out of Level 1 and 2 during the current year presented. It is the Funds’ policy to recognize transfers into and out of Level 1 and Level 2 at the end of the reporting year.
b. Foreign Currency Translations – The accounting records of the Funds are maintained in U.S. dollars. Investment securities and other assets and liabilities denominated in a foreign currency, and income receipts and expense payments, are translated into U.S. dollars using the prevailing exchange rate at the London market close. Purchases and sales of securities are translated into U.S. dollars at the contractual currency rates established at the approximate time of the trade.
Net realized gains and losses on foreign currency transactions represent net gains and losses from currency realized between the trade and settlement dates on securities transactions and the difference between income accrued versus income received. The effects of changes in foreign currency exchange rates on investments in securities are included with the net realized and unrealized gain or loss on investment securities.
c. Forward Currency Contracts – As foreign securities are purchased, a Fund generally enters into forward currency exchange contracts in order to hedge against foreign currency exchange rate risks. The market value of the contract fluctuates with changes in currency exchange rates. The contract is marked-to-market daily and the change in market value is recorded by a Fund as an unrealized gain or loss. As foreign securities are sold, a portion of the contract is generally closed and the 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 at the time it was closed. A Fund may also enter into forward currency contracts as an investment strategy consistent with that Fund’s investment objective. Realized gains and losses from contract transactions are included as a component of net realized gains (losses) from investments and foreign currency in the Statements of Operations. For the year ended October 31, 2012, Monthly Distribution and International Stock had net realized gains of $339,262 and $3,290, respectively and Emerging Markets Stock had net realized losses $148,252 on forward currency contracts. At October 31, 2012, net unrealized gains on open forward currency contracts for Monthly Distribution was $124,739 and net unrealized losses for International Stock was $203,103.
d. Options – Monthly Distribution is subject to equity price risk in the normal course of pursuing its investment objective and may purchase or sell options to help hedge against this risk.
A Fund may write call options only if it (i) owns an offsetting position in the underlying security or (ii) has an absolute or immediate right to acquire that security without additional cash consideration or exchange of other securities held in its portfolio. When a Fund writes an option, there is no taxable event and an amount equal to the premium received is recorded by the Fund as a liability. The liability is thereafter valued to reflect the current value of the option. If the option is not exercised and expires, or if the Fund effects a closing purchase transaction, the Fund realizes a gain (or loss in the case of a closing purchase transaction where the cost to close the transaction exceeds the original premium received), and the liability related to the option is extinguished. Any such gain or loss generally is a short-term capital gain or loss for federal income tax purposes. If a call option that a Fund has written on any equity security is exercised, the Fund realizes a capital gain or loss (long-term or short-term, depending on the holding period of the underlying security) from the sale of the underlying security, and the proceeds from such sale are increased by the premium originally received. If a put option that the Fund has written on an equity security is exercised, the amount of the premium originally received reduces the cost of the security that the Fund purchases upon exercise of the option. When a Fund writes a put option, the Fund must deposit cash or liquid securities into a segregated account equal to the put option’s exercise value (number of shares times strike price).
A Fund may purchase put and call options. Put options are purchased to hedge against a decline in the value of securities held in the Fund’s portfolio. If such a decline occurs, the put options will permit the Fund to sell the securities underlying such options at the exercise price, or to close out the options at a profit. The premium paid for a put or call option plus any transaction costs will reduce the benefit, if any, realized by the Fund upon exercise of the option, and, unless the price of the underlying security rises or declines sufficiently, the option may expire worthless to the Fund. In addition, in the event that the price of the security in connection with which an option was purchased moves in a direction favorable to the Fund, the benefits realized by the Fund as a result of such favorable movement will be reduced by the amount of the premium paid for the option and related transaction costs. Written and purchased options are non-income producing securities. For the year ended October 31, 2012, Monthly Distribution had net realized losses of $3,488,181 resulting from option activity.

October 31, 2012
e. Swap Agreements – Monthly Distribution is subject to equity price risk in the normal course of pursuing its investment objectives. The Funds may enter into various swap transactions for investment purposes to manage equity risk. These would be two-party contracts entered into primarily to exchange the returns (or differentials in rates of returns) earned or realized on particular pre-determined investments or instruments. The gross returns to be exchanged or “swapped” between parties are calculated with respect to a notional amount, i.e., the return on or increase in value of a particular dollar amount invested at a particular interest rate, in a particular foreign currency, or in a “basket” of securities representing a particular index or market segment. Changes in the value of swap agreements are recognized as unrealized gains or losses in the Statement of Operations by “marking to market” on a daily basis to reflect the value of the swap agreement at the end of each trading day. Payments received or paid at the beginning of the agreement are reflected as such on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities and may be referred to as upfront payments. The Fund amortizes upfront payments and/or accrues for the fixed payment stream on swap agreements on a daily basis with the net amount recorded as a component of unrealized gain or loss on the Statement of Operations. A liquidation payment received or made at the termination of the swap agreement is recorded as a realized gain or loss on the Statement of Operations. The Fund segregates liquid securities having a value at least equal to the amount of its current obligation under any swap transaction. Entering into these agreements involves, to varying degrees, lack of liquidity and elements of credit, market, and counterparty risk in excess of amounts recognized on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. The Fund’s maximum risk of loss from counterparty credit risk is the discounted net value of the cash flows to be received from/paid to the counterparty over the contract’s remaining life, to the extent that that amount is positive. For the year ended October 31, 2012, Monthly Distribution had net realized losses of $56,506 resulting from swap activity.
The derivative instruments outstanding as of October 31, 2012 as disclosed in the Notes to the Financial Statements and the amounts of realized and changes in unrealized gains and losses on derivative instruments during the year as disclosed in the Statement of Operations, serve as indicators of the volume of derivative activity for the Funds.
f. Short Sales – A "short sale" is a transaction in which the Fund sells a security it does not own but has borrowed in anticipation that the market price of that security will decline. The Fund is obligated to replace the security borrowed by purchasing it on the open market at a later date. If the price of the security sold short increases between the time of the short sale and the time the Fund replaces the borrowed security, the Fund will incur a loss. Conversely, if the price declines, the Fund will realize a gain.
g. Investment Transactions, Investment Income and Expenses – Investment transactions are recorded on a trade date basis. Realized gains and losses from investment transactions and foreign exchange transactions are calculated using the identified cost method. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date (“ex-date”) except in the case of certain dividends from foreign securities, which are recorded as soon after the ex-date as the respective Fund, using reasonable diligence, becomes aware of such dividends. Interest income is recorded on an accrual basis. Discounts are accreted and premiums are amortized as adjustments to interest income and the identified cost of investments. Expenses of the Trust that are directly identifiable to a specific Fund, are charged to that Fund. Expenses, which are not readily identifiable to a specific Fund, are allocated in such a manner as deemed equitable, taking into consideration the nature and type of expense and the relative sizes of the Funds. Each Fund’s income, expenses (other than the class specific distribution fees) and realized and unrealized gains and losses are allocated proportionally each day between the classes based upon the relative net assets of each class.
h. Concentration of Risk – Investing in securities of foreign issuers and currency transactions may involve certain considerations and risks not typically associated with investments in the United States. These risks include revaluation of currencies, adverse fluctuations in foreign currency values and possible adverse political, social and economic developments, including those particular to a specific industry, country or region. These conditions could cause the securities and their markets to be less liquid and prices more volatile than those of comparable U.S. companies and U.S. government securities.
Small capitalization (“small cap”) companies may be more vulnerable than larger capitalization companies to adverse business or economic developments. Small cap companies may also have limited product lines, markets or financial resources, and may be dependent on a relatively small management group. Securities of such companies may be less liquid and more volatile than securities of larger capitalization companies or the market averages in general and therefore may involve greater risk than investing in larger capitalization companies.
The ability of issuers of debt securities held by the Funds to meet their obligations may be affected by economic and political developments particular to a specific industry, country, state or region. Investments in lower grade debt securities are subject to special risks, including greater price volatility and a greater risk of loss of principal and interest.
The risk in writing a call option is that the Fund may forgo the opportunity of profit if the market value of the underlying security increases and the option is exercised, although any potential loss is reduced by the amount of option premium received. The risk in writing a put option is that the Fund may be called on to pay the exercise price of the option for a security that has decreased (potentially to zero) in market price, although any potential loss is reduced by the amount of option premium received. Generally, option

transactions also involve risks concerning liquidity of the options market. An illiquid market for an option may limit the Fund’s ability to write options or enter closing transactions. As the options written by the Funds are traded on a national exchange, counterparty and credit risk are limited to the failure of the exchange on which the options are traded.
i. Federal Income Taxes – It is each Fund’s policy to continue to comply with all sections of the Internal Revenue Code applicable to regulated investment companies and to distribute all of its taxable income and gains, if any, to its shareholders and therefore, no provision for federal income tax has been made. Each Fund is treated as a separate taxpayer for federal income tax purposes. The Funds recognize the tax benefits of uncertain tax positions only when the position is “more likely than not” to be sustained assuming examination by tax authorities. Management has reviewed the tax positions in the open tax years of 2009 to 2011, and the year ended October 31, 2012, and concluded that no liability for unrecognized tax benefits should be recorded related to uncertain tax positions taken in the above open tax years. The Funds identify their major tax jurisdictions as U.S. Federal. The Funds recognize interest and penalties, if any, related to unrecognized tax benefits as income tax expense in the Statements of Operations. During the year, the Funds did not incur any interest or penalties. Generally tax authorities can examine tax returns filed for the last three years.
j. Distributions to Shareholders – It is each Fund’s policy to distribute its respective net investment income and net capital gains, if any, annually except for Monthly Distribution, Corporate/Government Bond and High-Yield Bond, which will distribute their respective net investment income, if any, monthly. And for Dunham Loss Averse Equity Income, dividends attributable to earned income, if any, will be declared and paid quarterly. Distributions of net investment income and net capital gains are determined in accordance with income tax regulations which may differ from GAAP. Differences in dividends from net investment income per share between the classes are due to service and distribution related expenses. Dividends and distributions to shareholders are recorded on ex-date.
k. Indemnification – The Trust indemnifies its officers and trustees for certain liabilities that may arise from the performance of their duties to the Trust. Additionally, in the normal course of business, each Fund enters into contracts that contain a variety of representations and warranties and which provide general indemnities. A Fund’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown, as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Fund that have not yet occurred. However, based on experience, the Funds expect the risk of loss due to these warranties and indemnities to be remote.

INVESTMENT ADVISORY FEES AND OTHER TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES
a. Management Fees – Dunham & Associates serves as each Fund’s Investment Adviser. Pursuant to an Investment Advisory Agreement with the Funds, Dunham & Associates, subject to the supervision of the Board and in conformity with the stated policies of the Funds, manages the operations of the Funds. The Adviser, subject to the review and approval of the Board, selects Sub-Advisers for each Fund and supervises and monitors the performance of each Sub-Adviser. As compensation for its services, each Fund pays the Adviser a fixed fee, accrued daily and paid monthly, based on each Fund’s respective average daily net assets. The Adviser has entered into a Sub-Advisory Agreement with each Sub-Adviser and the Trust, on behalf of each Fund. Under the Sub-Advisory Agreements, each Fund pays the Sub-Adviser a “Fulcrum Fee.” A Fulcrum Fee is a performance fee whereby the Sub-Adviser is rewarded when out-performing, or is penalized when under-performing, a Fund’s benchmark index. The Funds’ Fulcrum Fee arrangements have been in place, with few changes, since July 1, 2006. As a result of the Fulcrum Fee arrangement, the total annual management fee for a Fund will have a range as shown in the table below.
| | | |

Management Fee | Adviser’s Portion | Sub-Adviser’s Portion |
Monthly Distribution | 0.90% – 1.90% | 0.65% | 0.25% - 1.25% |

Emerging Markets Stock | 0.75% – 1.75% | 0.65% | 0.10% - 1.10% |
*The Adviser has contractually agreed to waive a portion of its fee during the first 12 months of fund operations, as follows: 0.30% waiver in the first three months, 0.20% waiver in the second three months, 0.15% waiver in the third three months, and 0.10% waiver in the final three months of the 12-month period. The Sub-Adviser has contractually agreed to waive a portion of its fee during the first 12 months of fund operations, as follows: 0.17% waived from its base fee and limits its performance fee to plus or minus 0.17%, resulting in a range of fees of 0.00% to 0.34%.
**Prior to May 1, 2012, the Sub-Adviser’s Portion for Real Estate Stock was 0.00%-0.80% and the Management Fee was 0.65%-1.45%.
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)
October 31, 2012
Each Fund’s Sub-Advisory Fulcrum Fee is calculated daily using an annual base Sub-Advisory fee of a specified amount of the average daily net assets of the Fund (the “Base Fee”), adjusted by the Fund’s Class N share performance relative to the Fund’s benchmark (the “Performance Fee”). Depending on a Fund’s net performance versus its benchmark, the Sub-Adviser will receive a fee adjustment in accordance with a formula that equates a percentage of out- or under-performance to a percentage of fee increases or decreases, respectively. In addition, each Fulcrum Fee employs a “null zone” around the base fee, whereby small differences in performance versus the benchmark will not trigger a fee increase or decrease. During the first 12 months of the Fulcrum Fee arrangement, the Performance Fee is calculated daily from inception date of the agreement to the calculation date and is applied to the average daily net assets of the Fund during the calculation period. After the initial 12 months, the Performance Fee is calculated on a daily basis based on comparative performance over a rolling 12-month period. All Funds, with the exception of Focused Large Cap Growth and Alternative Income, which are in the initial year of its fulcrum fee arrangement, are calculating Performance Fees on a rolling 12-month basis as of October 31, 2012.
Depending on the particular Sub-Advisory Agreement, the Performance Fee can adjust the Base Fee up or down by as much as 100% of the Base Fee, such that the Sub-Advisory fee can vary anywhere from 0.00% (the “Minimum Fee”) to twice the Base Fee (the “Maximum Fee”). However, because each such Sub-Advisory Agreement requires that the Sub-Adviser only be paid out the monthly Minimum Fee during the first year (in most cases, 0.00%), the Sub-Adviser, in most cases, will receive no compensation until the end of the first year. At the end of the first year of the agreement, the Sub-Adviser will be paid a lump sum that reflects the accrued Fulcrum Fee over the year, less any Minimum Fees paid out during the first year. Therefore, in the first year, the Fulcrum Fee methodology has three elements: 1) daily calculation of the Performance Fee and daily accrual of the Fulcrum Fee; 2) monthly payment of the Minimum Fee only (if any); and 3) a lump sum payment at the end of the initial 12-month period of the accrued Fulcrum Fee less the Minimum Fee.
By virtue of using average daily net assets over a “rolling” 12-month period for purposes of calculating the Performance Fee while using average daily net assets for the most recent month for purposes of calculating the Base Fee, the actual total Fulcrum Fee paid by the Fund to the Sub-Adviser may be higher or lower than the maximum or minimum annual rates described above if the average daily net assets do not remain constant during the rolling 12-month period. If the Fund is significantly underperforming versus the Index and the Fund’s net assets have declined significantly, the monthly total Fulcrum Fee can be a negative number (although the performance fee rate can never be negative, the Performance Fee can be negative). In such instances, if the negative Fulcrum Fee is not earned back or offset the following month, the Sub-Adviser must reimburse the Fund the amount of the negative Fulcrum Fee within an agreed upon time. Likewise, in the case where the Fund has significantly underperformed versus the Index but net assets have increased significantly, the monthly total Fulcrum Fee can be positive although the performance fee rate may be 0.00%. In such instances, the Fund will pay the Sub-Adviser the monthly Fulcrum Fee.

DISTRIBUTIONS TO SHAREHOLDERS AND TAX COMPONENTS OF CAPITAL
The timing and character of income and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance with income tax regulations, which may differ from GAAP. Reclassifications are made to a Fund’s capital accounts for permanent tax differences to reflect income and gains available for distribution (or available capital loss carry forwards) under income tax regulations.
As of October 31, 2012, permanent book and tax differences, attributable primarily from differing treatments for foreign currency transactions, dividend reclassifications, reclassifications of gains on contingent convertible debt securities, net operating losses and security paydown gains and losses were identified and reclassified among the components of the following Fund’s net assets as follows:
| | | |
Fund | Paid in Capital | Undistributed Net Investment Income/(Loss) | Accumulated Net Realized Gain/(Loss) on Investments and Foreign Currency Transactions |

NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
In December 2011, FASB issued ASU No. 2011-11 related to disclosures about offsetting assets and liabilities. The amendments in this ASU require an entity to disclose information about offsetting and related arrangements to enable users of its financial statements to understand the effect of those arrangements on its financial position. The ASU is effective for annual reporting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2013, and interim periods within those annual periods. The guidance requires retrospective application for all comparative periods presented. Management is currently evaluating the impact these amendments may have on the Funds’ financial statements.

SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
The Funds are required to recognize in the financial statements the effects of all subsequent events that provide additional evidence about conditions that existed at the date of the Statements of Assets and Liabilities. For non-recognized subsequent events that must be disclosed to keep the financial statements from being misleading, the Funds are required to disclose the nature of the event as well as an estimate of its financial effect, or a statement that such an estimate cannot be made. Management has evaluated subsequent events through the issuance of these financial statements and has noted no such events.
REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the Shareholders and Board of Trustees of the Dunham Funds
We have audited the accompanying statements of assets and liabilities of Dunham Monthly Distribution Fund, Dunham Corporate/Government Bond Fund, Dunham High-Yield Bond Fund, Dunham Loss Averse Equity Income Fund, Dunham Appreciation & Income Fund, Dunham Large Cap Value Fund, Dunham Large Cap Growth Fund, Dunham Focused Large Cap Growth Fund, Dunham Alternative Income Fund, Dunham International Stock Fund, Dunham Real Estate Stock Fund, Dunham Small Cap Value Fund, Dunham Small Cap Growth Fund, and Dunham Emerging Markets Stock Fund (collectively, the "Funds"), each a series of shares of beneficial interest of the Dunham Funds, including the schedules of investments, as of October 31, 2012, the related statements of operations for the year or periods then ended, the statements of changes in net assets for each of the years or periods presented in the two-year period then ended, and the financial highlights for each of the years or periods presented in the five-year period then ended. These financial statements and financial highlights are the responsibility of the Funds' management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and financial highlights based on our audits. In the case of the Dunham Monthly Distribution Fund, the financial highlights for the year ended December 31, 2007 were audited by other auditors whose report dated February 25, 2008, expressed an unqualified opinion on such financial highlights.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements and financial highlights are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of October 31, 2012 by correspondence with the custodian and brokers and by other appropriate auditing procedures where responses from brokers were not received. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements and financial highlights referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Funds as of October 31, 2012, the results of their operations for the year or periods then ended, the changes in their net assets for each of the years or periods presented in the two-year period then ended, and their financial highlights for each of the years or periods presented in the five-year period then ended (except as noted above), in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

YOUR FUNDS’ EXPENSES (Unaudited)
Example
Shareholders of mutual funds will pay ongoing expenses, such as advisory fees, distribution and service fees (12b-1), and other fund expenses. The following examples are intended to help you understand the ongoing cost (in dollars) of investing in a fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds. Please note, the expenses shown in the tables are meant to highlight ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transactional costs, such as sales charges (loads), or contingent deferred sales charges on redemptions which may be assessed by mutual funds. This Example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period as indicated below.
Actual Expenses
The columns under the heading entitled “Actual” help you estimate the actual expenses you paid over the period. The “Actual-Ending Account Value” shown is derived from the Fund’s actual return, and the “Actual- Expenses Paid During Period” shows the dollar amount that would have been paid by an investor who started with $1,000 in the Fund. To estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period, simply divide your 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 column under the heading entitled “Actual-Expenses Paid During Period”.
Hypothetical Examples for Comparison Purposes
The columns under the heading entitled “Hypothetical” provide information about hypothetical account value and hypothetical expenses based on the Fund’s actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the 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 the Fund and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of other funds.
Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transactional costs which may be applicable to your account. Therefore, the last column of the table (Hypothetical- Expenses Paid During Period) is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transactional costs were included, your costs would have been higher.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION (Unaudited)
FACTORS CONSIDERED BY THE INDEPENDENT TRUSTEES IN APPROVAL OF INVESTMENT ADVISORY AND SUB-ADVISORY AGREEMENTS
At a regular meeting (the “Meeting”) of the Board of Trustees (the “Board”) of the Dunham Funds (the “Trust”) held on July 19, 2012, the Board, including a majority of the Trustees who are not interested person of the Trust (the “Independent Trustees”), considered the approval of a new sub-advisory agreement among the Trust, Dunham & Associates Investment Counsel, Inc. (the “Adviser”) and Harbor Springs Financial Management, LLC (“Harbor Springs”) (the “Harbor Springs Sub-Advisory Agreement”) on behalf of the Dunham Alternative Income Fund (the “Fund”), a new series of the Trust. In connection with its review and approval of the Harbor Springs Sub-Advisory Agreement, the Board considered materials furnished by Harbor Springs and the Adviser
At the Meeting, representatives from the Adviser presented information regarding Harbor Springs and the Fund, and responded to questions from the Trustees. The Board reviewed the terms of the Harbor Springs Sub-Advisory Agreement, and discussed the performance goals and fulcrum fee arrangements set forth in the Harbor Springs Sub-Advisory Agreement. In their consideration of the proposed Advisory Agreement, the Board, including the Independent Trustees, did not identify any single factor as controlling, and the following summary does not detail all the matters considered. Matters considered by the Board, including the Independent Trustees, in connection with its approval of the Advisory Agreement included the following:
Nature, Extent and Quality of Services .. The Independent Trustees discussed the qualifications of the Adviser and Harbor Springs’ key personnel, the experience of the Adviser in managing mutual funds and the experience of the portfolio management personnel of Harbor Springs. The Independent Trustees reviewed the capitalization of the Adviser and Harbor Springs based on financial information provided by each entity in the Board materials. The Board concluded that both the Adviser and Harbor Springs are able to provide high quality service to the Fund.
Performance. The Board, including the Independent Trustees, considered the Adviser’s past performance with the existing Funds in the Trust, as well as other factors relating to the Adviser’s track record and the Adviser’s active and consistent approach to monitoring the performance the Sub-Advisers. The Board concluded that the Adviser’s past performance was acceptable. As for the performance of Harbor Springs, the Board reviewed the performance history (gross of fees) of the separate accounts managed by Harbor Springs using a similar strategy. The Independent Trustees concluded that there was a reasonable expectation that Harbor Springs would obtain an acceptable level of investment return for prospective shareholders of the Fund.
Cost of Services and Profitability .. As to the cost of the services to be provided and the profits to be realized by the Sub-Adviser, the Board, including each of the Independent Trustees, considered the Base Fee, as defined in the Harbor Springs Sub-Advisory Agreement, that would be paid when the performance of the Fund is equal to that of the Dow Jones US Select Dividend Index, its Benchmark Index. The Trustees also discussed the operation of the Performance Fee and the impact on fees and expenses based on various performance results. The Trustees compared the Fund’s projected fees and total expense ratios with those of a Peer group of funds and noted that the Fund’s projected expense ratio was below the Peer Group average, and its advisory fee was among the lowest in its Peer Group. The Trustees concluded that the Advisory and Sub-Advisory fees are within a reasonable range.
Economies of Scale .. As to the extent to which the Fund will realize economies of scale, the Independent Trustees considered whether there will be economies of scale with respect of the management of Alternative Income. After discussion, it was the consensus of the Board that any material economies of scale would not be achieved by the Fund in the near term.
Profitability. The Board, including the Independent Trustees, considered the anticipated profits to be realized by the Adviser and Harbor Springs in connection with the operation of the Fund. They reviewed estimated profitability information provided by the Adviser and Harbor Springs. The Independent Trustees concluded that the Adviser and Harbor Springs would not reap excessive profits from their relationships with the Fund.
Conclusion. Having requested and received such information from the Adviser and Sub-Adviser as the Board believed to be reasonably necessary to evaluate the terms of the Harbor Springs Sub-Advisory Agreement, and as assisted by the advice of independent counsel and the Trust’s CCO, the Board, including all of the Independent Trustees, unanimously concluded that the Harbor Springs Sub-Advisory Agreement with Harbor Springs is in the best interests of Alternative Income and its prospective shareholders.
