Dear Fellow Shareholders,
When a 30-year bull market for bonds likely finds itself in its twilight hours before its next bear market, it is not surprising that some spikes in volatility arise across the fixed income and equity markets. Similar to Paul Revere, many economists and institutional managers have been alerting and alarming that interest rates will rise from their historical lows and this will be to the detriment of the most interest rate sensitive bonds. The reason that the markets have responded as if in surprise is likely because these warnings that rates are rising have been prevalent for years, as global uncertainty resulted in higher demand for U.S. Treasury bonds – placing downward pressure on interest rates.
This prolonged compression in interest rates has contributed to the economic growth in the United States, which in turn increased the pressure on the Federal Reserve to raise the Fed Funds rate. As the rhetoric provided by the Federal Reserve was followed by corresponding actions, the Fed Funds rate was ratcheted up four times over the fiscal year, leading intermediate-term and long-term Treasuries into negative return territory for the 12-month period. Although equity markets broadly finished with positive returns at the end of the first six months of the fiscal year, foreign markets slid deeply negative in the latter half of the fiscal year, leaving only a few bastions of positive-performing asset classes. One of those strongholds was the United States, which at first may appear counterintuitive given that the vast majority of negative headlines during the latest six-month period surrounded the sustainability of the U.S.’s more recent increases in GDP growth rates. After peeling back the curtain to unveil what drove the positive performance, it clarified that the increase was primarily attributable to just a few sizeable sectors, notably technology and health care.
When the peril of the United States’ growth rate was not front-and-center, China’s relationship with the U.S. was generally the broadcast du jour. As fears of a trade war with China were exacerbated during the late summer months, it reached a crescendo at the same time as some mega-cap earnings reports missed expectations while the Federal Reserve reiterated its determination to continue its rate increases. These events coalesced into a broad sell-off to complete the fiscal year. Very few asset classes were spared in the last month’s carnage. Traditional bonds, U.S. equities, and foreign equities were all caught in the turmoil. Some of the Dunham Funds mitigated most of those losses, particularly the funds that implement strategies meant to behave differently from traditional investments. As we are vigilant to provide investment solutions that may benefit in our evolving marketplace, the Dunham Appreciation & Income Fund’s principal investment strategy was changed to a long / short credit strategy at the beginning of July. This strategy prevailed during October’s sell-off, finishing the month nearly flat amidst the sea of sizeable losses.
While we continue to navigate through this turbulence, we are optimistic that the Dunham Funds are positioned to capitalize on the opportunities that are generally uncovered in market environments like the one we are currently in. Sifting through the noise for the pertinent facts is crucial and we believe this diligence will reward our investors.
We thank you for your continued trust and the confidence you have placed in us. We take that trust very seriously and look forward to servicing your investment needs for years to come.
Sincerely,

Dunham Floating Rate Bond Fund (Unaudited)
Message from the Sub-Adviser (Newfleet Asset Management, LLC)
The bank loan market reached a milestone this fiscal year by totaling over $1 trillion in market size and constituting over 1,000 distinct borrowers. The bank loan market has doubled since 2010 and is now similar in size to the $1.1 trillion high-yield market. Secondary market trading activity and liquidity have steadily improved, driven by the increased number of market participants seeking yield, deeper and broader secondary markets, and technological advancements. The loan market fared well through the relatively larger bouts of volatility over the fiscal year experienced in February and October.
Over the fiscal year ended October 31, 2018, U.S. stocks, as measured by the S&P 500, increased 7.3 percent. Over the fiscal year, interest rates on the 10-year U.S. Treasury fluctuated within a 76 basis point range, hitting a low of 2.32 percent a few times in late November, then marching higher to 3.23 percent in late October, before settling at 3.14 percent to end the fiscal year. Over the same time period, the Federal Reserve raised the Fed Funds Rate four times over the fiscal year, to 2.25 percent. Bond prices generally fall when interest rates rise. U.S. investment-grade bonds, as measured by the Bloomberg Barclays U.S. Aggregate Bond Index, fell 2.1 percent over the fiscal year ended October 31, 2018. The movement in rates aided the performance of bank loans, as measured by the S&P/ LSTA Leveraged Loan Index, which gained 4.5 percent over the three-month period. The London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) continued its upward trend during the fiscal period. Three-month LIBOR began the fiscal year at 1.38 percent, its lowest point of the period, before beginning a steady climb to its high of 2.56 percent at the end of the fiscal period.
The Sub-Adviser looks for potential total return and income by investing in higher quality, non-investment grade bank loans. The Sub-Adviser uses extensive credit and company analysis and monitoring. The Sub-Adviser looks for securities with strong income potential while maintaining an emphasis on managing risk. The Sub-Adviser remains optimistic about the asset class’ potential as interest rates rise and investors continue to focus on income producing assets.
The yields on bank loans, as measured by the S&P / LSTA Leveraged Loan 100 Index, trended upward over the fiscal year, but trailed the pace of rise in Treasury yields. Bank loans, in general, as measured by the S&P / LSTA Leveraged Loan 100 Index, ended the most recent period with a yield-to-maturity of 5.5 percent. The changes in yield increased the spread to 1.4 percent when compared to their high-yield bond counterparts, as measured by the BofA Merrill Lynch High-Yield Bond Cash Pay Index, which ended the period with a 6.9 percent yield to maturity.
A strong contributor for the most recent fiscal quarter as well as the fiscal year was Neiman Marcus Group Ltd LLC (BL1250440) (holding weight*: 0.59 percent), a luxury retailer conducting integrated store and online operations. Neiman Marcus’ bank loan had a price increase from $79.81 at the beginning of the fiscal year to $91.38 at the end of the period, for a price return of 14.5 percent. This holding benefited from strong quarterly earnings that reflected a continued stabilization in the retail business. Another top performer was Seadrill Operating LP (BL1232042) (holding weight*: 0.55 percent), a company that owns and operates drilling rigs. The company came out of a bankruptcy restructuring and the Fund benefited from price appreciation of the bank loan. Seadrill’s bank loan had a price increase from $75.81 at the beginning of the fiscal year to $93.77 at the end of the period, for a price return of 23.7 percent. A position that contributed to performance over the most recent fiscal quarter ended October 31, 2018 but detracted from performance over the full fiscal year was CPI Card Group (BL1785619) (holding weight*: 0.52 percent), a company that engages in design, production, data personalization, packaging, and fulfillment of financial payment cards. The company has been troubled with a longer renewable cycle of credit cards at four years instead of three years. In addition, the company has faced challenges of larger banks and credit unions competing over market share. Despite these concerns, the loan traded higher in the final fiscal quarter following the release of strong earnings. Additionally, card volumes in the quarter improved both sequentially and year over year.
On the opposite end of the return spectrum, Fort Dearborn Holding Co (BL2249904) (holding weight*:0.20 percent) detracted from Fund performance over the most recent fiscal quarter and year. Fort Dearborn has managed to keep the top line relatively stable amid operational issues however, leverage continued to creep up. Increased costs, lower overall output, a fire at one of their facilities, and peak working capital causing them to draw on the revolver, all contributed to the negative performance. The Sub-Adviser believes that the credit is currently over-levered and lenders have started to lose patience with management. Also detracting from Fund performance over the fiscal quarter and year was Univision Communications, Inc. (BL2380501) (holding weight*: 1.46 percent), an American media company primarily serving Hispanic and Latino Americans. The bank loan had a price decrease from $99.63 at the beginning of the period to $97.06 at the end of the period, for a price loss of 2.7 percent. Klöckner Pentaplast Group (BL2450726) (holding weight*: 0.44 percent), a company that is among the world’s largest suppliers of films for pharmaceutical, medical devices, food, electronics, and general packaging, also had a difficult fiscal quarter and year. The bank loan had a price decrease from $100.98 at the beginning of the period to $97.06 at the end of the period, for a price loss of 4.0 percent.
The Sub-Adviser continues to find the loan market a compelling investment, especially in light of the impact that this year’s interest rate volatility has had on fixed-rate asset classes. The Sub-Adviser expects the coupon “carry” to continue for the remainder of the year, all else equal, and prove to be attractive on a risk-adjusted relative basis to fixed income alternatives. The Sub-Adviser also believes the constructive backdrop for credit spread assets is being met with continued spread tightening across the credit quality curve and transactions are becoming increasingly more aggressive on many levels. The Sub-Adviser feels that the fundamental backdrop for loans seems to be in good shape with low default rates, strong technicals, and strong investor demand. The Sub-Adviser is beginning to reassess risk positions from a credit quality and industry perspective with an eye towards slightly decreasing the overall risk in the Fund after having added risk since the summer of 2016 at broadly better valuations. The Sub-Adviser feels that the loan market is exhibiting late-cycle behavior, with the rise of single B-rated issuance, loosening loan terms and conditions, and a number of credit metrics exceeding pre-crisis levels. However, demand from retail and institutional investors remained at an above-average pace as rising rates and corresponding higher current yields relative to most other fixed income options has increased broad investor interest. With all of these factors, the Sub-Adviser does not currently view this current credit cycle as coming to end in the short-term, and the Sub-Adviser is contemplating how it might upgrade the credit quality of the Fund’s holdings, especially at current valuations.

The S&P/LSTA Leveraged Loan 100 Index is designed to reflect the performance of the largest facilities in the leveraged loan market. Investors cannot invest directly in an index or benchmark.
The Morningstar Bank Loan Category is generally representative of mutual funds that primarily invest in floating- rate bank loans instead of bonds. These bank loans generally offer interest payments that typically float above a common short-term benchmark such as the London interbank offered rate, or LIBOR.
As disclosed in the Trust’s latest registration statement, the Fund’s total annual operating expenses, including cost of underlying funds, are 1.05% for Class N, 1.80% for Class C and 1.30% for Class A. Class A shares are subject to a sales load of 4.50% and a deferred sales charge of up to 0.75%. The performance data quoted here represents past performance, which is not indicative of future results. Current performance may be lower or higher than the performance data quoted. The investment return and NAV will fluctuate, so that an investor’s shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. Total returns are calculated assuming reinvestment of all dividends and capital gains distributions, if any. The returns do not reflect the deductions of taxes a shareholder would pay on the redemption of Fund shares or Fund distributions.

Dunham Corporate/Government Bond Fund (Unaudited)
Message from the Sub-Adviser (Newfleet Asset Management, LLC)
Investment-grade bonds, as measured by the Bloomberg Barclays Aggregate Bond Index, fell 2.1 percent in the fiscal year ended October 31, 2018, after increasing 0.9 percent over the previous fiscal year. Treasuries in the middle of the yield curve, as measured by the ICE BofA ML Treasuries 5-7 Years Index, fell 2.0 percent, while long-term Treasuries, as measured by the ICE BofA ML Treasuries 10+ Years Index, tumbled 6.2 percent over the same twelve months. Corporate bonds, as measured by the ICE BofA ML U.S. Corporate Bond Master Index, underperformed intermediate-term Treasury bonds, falling 2.8 percent over the fiscal year. High-yield bonds, as measured by the ICE BofA ML High-Yield Bond Cash Pay Index, also had a disappointing performance increasing just 0.8 percent.
The Fund continued to balance risk versus reward by choosing to emphasize lower duration bonds and overweighting lower credit quality securities, which benefitted the Fund for a fifth consecutive fiscal year. The average effective duration of the Fund was 5.29 years, while the benchmark index had an average duration of 5.99 years. While the lower duration exposure did not adversely affect performance during the most recent fiscal period, the overweight to lower credit quality securities versus the benchmark contributed to the Fund’s performance. Treasury yields fluctuated within a 76 basis point range over the fiscal period. The 10-year Treasury yield went from its lowest point of 2.31 percent early in the first fiscal quarter to its highest point of 3.23 late in the fiscal year, before settling at 3.14 percent. The overweight to securitized products contributed positively to Fund performance over the fiscal period. The Sub-Adviser’s overweight to the securitized products was slightly more than the previous fiscal year’s overweight, combining for over 20 percent of the Fund. The index had significantly less exposure to these products. The overweight to corporate investment-grade securities was increased slightly over the fiscal period, equaling roughly 34 percent of the Fund’s assets, and more than 8 percent greater than the index’s allocation to that sector.
Contributors over the fiscal year ended October 31, 2018, included the Safeway Inc. 7.25% 2/1/2031 (786514BA6) (holding weight*: 0.17 percent). Safeway bonds have benefited from positive underlying momentum in Albertson’s grocery business. Same store sales have been positive for three straight quarters and EBITDA growth has accelerated year-to-date. The failure of the proposed Rite Aid (RAD) (not held) Acquisition in August eliminated a significant amount of secured acquisition financing that would have further layered the unsecured Safeway bonds which lack guarantees from the other operating entities. After reporting a solid quarter in October and hinting at plans to pay down a substantial amount of debt, Albertsons announced the repayment of $1billion of secured term debt with cash on hand and a temporary revolver draw, which should be paid off as working capital releases through the holiday selling season. The debt pay down reinforced management’s commitment to delever ahead of another potential attempt at an IPO, which would be credit positive for the Safeway bonds. Another positive contributor to Fund performance was the Gateway Casinos & Entertainment Ltd. 8.25% 03/1/2024 (36760BAE9) (holding weight*: 0.10 percent). This holding reacted positively to a solid earnings report as well as a potential IPO.
Detractors over the fiscal year included two positions that came from emerging market countries. Turkey and Argentina drove a good amount of the overall emerging market sentiment over the past year. The weakening global macro backdrop (excluding the U.S.), caused most major equity markets to decline. Emerging market equities were down more. This in turn produced spread widening. In tandem, the U.S. dollar strengthened. Both tend to hurt emerging market countries as they raise the cost of servicing U.S. dollar denominated debt. The impact was most severe for emerging market countries with large global financing needs. This includes Argentina and Turkey. Turkiye Vakiflar Bankast 5.625% 05/30/2022 (90015WAF0) (holding weight**: 0.28 percent), a government owned Turkish bank traded down in tandem with Turkey. This position fell over 21 percent prior to being sold. The Argentine Republic Government International Bond 6.8975% 01/26/2027 (040114HL7) (holding weight**: 0.10 percent) also traded lower as Argentina reached a point where it had to seek IMF assistance. Over the fiscal year, the Argentine Republic Government International Bond 6.8975% 01/26/2027 declined 24.1 percent before being eliminated from the Fund in late August.
The Sub-Adviser is optimistic for the remainder of 2018 and 2019. It believes that fundamentals within corporate credit are still in good shape and are constructive on economic growth. The Sub-Adviser also believes that housing and consumer fundamentals are still in good shape and feels good about mortgage credit and the Fund’s exposure to asset-backed securities. It believes that the key risks moving forward are U.S. and China trade relations, inflation and consumer sentiment, and valuations as fiscal stimulus abates. They closely monitor economic data as it will drive the Fed’s interest rate decision. It is also important to stay diversified and granular, keeping small positions and maintaining liquidity. The Sub-Adviser believes that the prospect of continued volatility in the bond market will present opportunities and feels that the Fund is well positioned to take advantage of those opportunities as they arise.

The performance data quoted here represents past performance, which is not indicative of future results. Current performance may be lower or higher than the performance data quoted. The investment return and NAV will fluctuate, so that an investor’s shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. Total returns are calculated assuming reinvestment of all dividends and capital gains distributions, if any.

Dunham Monthly Distribution Fund (Unaudited) |
Message from the Sub-Adviser (Perella Weinberg Partners) |
The fiscal year began with volatility near its lowest levels ever achieved. The VIX (Chicago Board Options Exchange SPX Volatility Index) was in the low 9s at the beginning of November, while the average VIX level over the past 10 years was near 19. The VIX closed above 37 in early February (spiking significantly higher in intra-day trading), as equity markets sustained a significant drawdown into correction territory. These sell-offs and corresponding spikes in volatility were generally triggered by “concerns” and headlines rather than deteriorating fundamentals. Some of these headlines have been pervasive throughout the fiscal year, and even intensified through the final months of the 12-month period. For example, tariffs and a trade war with China took a prevalent seat along with U.S. mid-term elections and rising interest rates. In the final month of the fiscal year, the VIX breached 25 while U.S. equities, as measured by the S&P 500 Index, experienced an intra-month decline of more than 10 percent. Regardless of the cause, volatility spikes generally correspond with widening spreads on merger deals and other risk-arbitrage opportunities. During the final fiscal quarter, event driven strategies, as measured by the Credit Suisse Event Driven Liquid Index, fell 0.5 percent. While broader in scope, long/short equity strategies, as measured by the Credit Suisse Long/Short Liquid Index, plummeted 4.7 percent. This most recent downturn brought fiscal year performance for event driven strategies to 0.7 percent, while long/short equity strategies ended the 12-month period down 4.0 percent.
Within the Fund, the event driven allocation is primarily represented in the form of announced mergers. While this allocation has historically comprised approximately half of the Fund’s exposure during the fiscal year, the final fiscal quarter saw the allocation end at 61 percent. This higher allocation is indicative of the Sub-Adviser’s general optimism regarding opportunities in the space, as well as its current bias to reduce overall directional risk from movements in the broad equity markets. Although cross-border mergers are on pace to exceed $1.3 trillion in 2018, an approximate 30% increase over 2017, the trade war with China delayed some sizeable active deals and has stressed the mergers and acquisitions market as a whole. The acquisition of NXP Semiconductors (NXPI) (holding weight*: 0.88 percent) by Qualcomm (QCOM) (holding weight*: 0.79 percent), was thrown into limbo as the trade war between the United States and China escalated through the summer months. During the fiscal year, NXPI fell 35.8 percent, while QCOM increased 27.8 percent.
Despite the increase in volatility, many mergers were completed unabashed. Within the Fund, the $5 billion paper and plastic container cash or stock acquisition of KapStone Paper and Packaging Corp. (KS) (holding weight*: 1.66 percent) by Westrock Co. (WRK) (holding weight**: not held) was just a week away from completion when the Fund reached its fiscal year-end. From the acquisition announcement in January through the fiscal year-end, KS rose 1.7 percent. The frozen-food focused $11 billion cash and stock acquisition of Pinnacle Foods Inc. (PF) (holding weight**: 3.24 percent) by ConAgra Brands Inc. (CAG) (holding weight*: 0.00 percent) finalized at the end of October. Since the announcement of the deal through its closing, PF and CAG increased 3.1 percent and 3.8 percent, respectively. Even the cross-border $7 billion scent-based cash and stock acquisition of Israel-based Frutarom Industries Ltd. (FRUT IT) (holding weight**: 2.04 percent) by U.S.-based International Flavors and Fragrances Inc. (IFF) (holding weight*: -0.73 percent) successfully resolved in early October. The IFF/FRUT IT deal terms were amended in mid-August, and since that date through completion, IFF and FRUT IT increased 2.6 percent and 3.0 percent, respectively.
After adding AT&T Inc. (T) (holding weight*: -0.36 percent) to the long/short strategy during the third fiscal quarter, following its acquisition of Time Warner Inc. (TWX) (holding weight**: 3.69 percent), T decreased 0.6 percent. However, while the Sub-Adviser initially believed that the synergies and other benefits from T’s acquisitions were catalysts for relative outperformance, it reversed its long position to a short position near the end of the fiscal year. Within the consumer staples sector, the Sub-Adviser’s addition of PepsiCo Inc. (PEP) (holding weight*: 0.85 percent) to the long/short strategy in early May contributed positively to overall Fund performance. Since its addition to the Fund, PEP increased 17.5 percent. This strong performance included a slight 1.5 percent drawdown in the most recent fiscal quarter. The Sub-Adviser continued to increase the short position in the Consumer Staples Select Sector SPDR Fund (XLP) (holding weight*: -1.39 percent). During the last two fiscal quarters combined, XLP increased 10.7 percent. Therefore, the exposure to PEP within the consumer staples sector was a positive contributor to absolute performance, even after adjusting for the effects of the short position in XLP.
One of the largest contributors to the Fund during the previous fiscal quarter was Dell Technologies Inc. Class V (DVMT) (holding weight*: 1.80 percent), a tracking stock representing the VMWare Inc. business of Dell. During the summer, DVMT’s value surged 28.9 percent due to Michael Dell and other large shareholders’ efforts to draft a $22 billion deal to use the tracking stock as a means to bring Dell Technologies Inc. Class C back to the public markets. During the final fiscal quarter, DVMT detracted 2.3 percent as the technology sector broadly fell. However, this decline was more than offset by the summer’s strong performance, ending the last six months with a return of 25.9 percent.
While risk-off trading and uncertainty in the equity markets have rattled returns across strategy-types and regulatory hurdles facing prominent vertical mergers compounded with trade war rhetoric, the Sub-Adviser remains optimistic toward the space. In addition, the Sub-Adviser’s risk management techniques combined with its disciplined bottom-up analysis provide a means for navigating more turbulent markets. The Sub-Adviser continues to be optimistic that the repatriation of offshore cash due to 2017’s tax reform may be a source of dry powder for additional merger activity. It also believes that a healthy economy and strong corporate balance sheets may provide opportunities across both the event driven space and within the long/short strategy utilized within the Fund.

IQ Hedge Market Neutral Total Return Index seeks to replicate the risk-adjusted return characteristics of the collective hedge funds using a market neutral hedge fund investment style. Market Neutral hedge funds typically invest in both long and short positions in asset classes while minimizing exposure to systematic risk.
IQ Hedge Market Neutral Beta Index is a benchmark index designed to replicate the risk-adjusted return characteristics of the collective hedge funds using a market neutral investment style. Investors cannot invest directly in an index or benchmark.
The Morningstar Multialternative Category is generally representative of mutual funds with static allocations to alternative strategies and mutual funds that tactically allocate among alternative strategies and asset classes. The gross short exposure in these mutual funds is generally greater than 20%.
As disclosed in the Trust’s latest registration statement, the Fund’s total annual operating expenses before any fee waiver, including the cost of underlying funds, are 2.74% for Class N, 3.74% for Class C and 2.99% for Class A. Class A shares are subject to a sales load of 5.75% and a deferred sales charge of up to 0.75%. The performance data quoted here represents past performance, which is not indicative of future results. Current performance may be lower or higher than the performance data quoted. The investment return and NAV will fluctuate, so that an investor’s shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. Total returns are calculated assuming reinvestment of all dividends and capital gains distributions, if any. The returns do not reflect the deductions of taxes a shareholder would pay on the redemption of Fund shares or Fund distributions.

Dunham Dynamic Macro Fund (Unaudited) |
Message from the Sub-Adviser (Mellon Capital Management Corporation) |
It was a disappointing fiscal year ended October 31, 2018 for most asset classes around the globe. There were periods of strong equity growth, especially in the United States, as investors focused on a strong domestic economy, encouraging earnings releases, and some developments on the geopolitical front. These periods of growth were interrupted by two large spikes of volatility in February and October. During these periods, investors could not overlook all the geopolitical volatility such as trade tensions, political attacks on NATO and the Federal Reserve, and leaving the Iran deal, to name a few. Additionally weighing on investors is the concern that the Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) will raise interest rates too quickly, possibly pushing the United States into a recession. These concerns were exacerbated by a hawkish tone from the FOMC to cap off the fiscal year, as well as a statement from the FOMC indicating that they have yet to clearly define the neutral rate they are targeting.
Over the fiscal year ended October 31, 2018, U.S. stocks, as measured by the S&P 500 Index, increased 7.3 percent, after surging 23.6 percent over the previous fiscal year. International stocks, as measured by the MSCI ACWI ex US Index, lost 8.2 percent over the most recent fiscal year, after surging 23.6 percent in the previous fiscal year. Domestic investment-grade bonds, as measured by the Bloomberg Barclays U.S. Aggregate Bond Index, fell 2.1 percent, while higher-yielding bonds, as measured by the ICE Bank of America Merrill Lynch U.S. Cash Pay High-Yield Index, increased 0.8 percent. International bonds also did not fare well, falling 2.1 percent, as measured by the Bloomberg Barclays Global Aggregate Ex-USD Total Return Index. Meanwhile, the yield on the 10-year U.S. Treasury fluctuated within a relatively narrow range of 76 basis points, beginning the fiscal year at 2.38 percent, once again breaching the 3 percent mark late in the fiscal period, before settling at 3.14 percent.
The Sub-Adviser seeks to construct a balanced growth portfolio that aims to deliver equity-like total returns with less risk and improved downside control. It attempts to achieve this goal by utilizing a multi-asset strategy that allocates dynamically across global asset classes, with the ability to hold long or short positions, depending on the risk/reward profile of the investment. The overall strategy is divided into three sub-strategies: growth assets, which includes U.S. equities, developed markets ex-U.S. equities, and high-yield bonds; defensive assets, which includes exposure to U.S. bonds, developed markets ex-U.S. bonds, and cash, with a diversifying/hedging component utilized to attempt to achieve the desired downside protection; and real assets, which consists of Treasury Inflation- Protected Securities (TIPS) and commodities.
The growth asset strategy detracted from performance over the fiscal quarter and fiscal year ended October 31, 2018, after strongly contributing to performance over the previous fiscal year. The Fund’s largest growth exposure was dedicated to developed ex-U.S countries. There were very few places to hide globally over the fiscal year. The iShares Currency Hedged MSCI Japan ETF (HEWJ) (holding weight*: 8.67 percent) declined 3.7 percent, and the iShares Hedged MSCI Germany ETF (HEWG) (holding weight*: 5.34 percent) plummeted 10.5 percent. This allocation was reduced over the fiscal year and moved further into U.S. equities. This shift benefited the Fund as U.S. equities outperformed international developed equities. This exposure was implemented through the SPDR S&P 500 ETF Trust (SPY) (holding weight*: 24.31 percent), which increased 7.2 percent. The growth exposure’s weighting in high- yield bonds also helped mitigate some losses as the SPDR Bloomberg Barclays High-Yield Bond ETF (JNK) (holding weight*: 5.25 percent) fell just 0.3 percent. High-yield bonds benefitted from low default rates, strong earnings releases, and limited issuance.
The defensive asset strategy also detracted from Fund performance over the fiscal year, albeit not as significantly as the growth asset strategy. Earlier in the year, the diversification benefits of bonds was coming into question as the correlation between stocks and bonds increased. At that time, the Sub-Adviser utilized cash as a hedge. As the correlations between stocks and bonds once again turned negative, the Sub-Adviser moved back approximately 20 percent into bonds. Unfortunately, as volatility once again spiked in the final three-month period of the fiscal year, the correlation between stocks and bonds spiked along with it. As a result, both the growth and defensive asset strategy fell in the final month of the fiscal year. Fortunately, the Fund received some positive contributions from the options positions, as well as the short Japan and short Germany positions.
The real assets strategy, while the smallest allocation in the Fund, was the only positive performing strategy over the first half of the fiscal year. In the second half of the fiscal year and final fiscal quarter, this allocation slightly detracted. Real assets fluctuated from 4.8 percent at the beginning of the fiscal period, and finished at an 11.1 percent allocation at the end of the fiscal year. The goal of the strategy is to hedge against inflation. Inflation hedges are accessed through TIPS via the iShares TIPS ETF (TIP) (holding weight*: 5.10 percent), and commodities via the iShares Commodities Select Strategy ETF (COMT) (holding weight*: 6.02 percent). Over the fiscal year, TIP fell 1.4 percent while COMT increased 8.9 percent.
The Sub-Adviser is optimistic for opportunities within the asset categories the Fund invests in for the rest of 2018 and 2019, albeit with continued volatility. The Sub-Adviser remains steadfast in its belief that this volatility-targeted strategy may provide investors with more consistent returns than traditional asset classes. It believes that through the flexibility of the strategy and the use of alternative investments, the Fund may provide what may be considered to be attractive returns with lower systematic risk and lower correlation than traditional equity investments.

The IQ Hedge Global Macro Beta Index seeks to replicate the risk-adjusted return characteristics of the collective hedge funds using a global macro investment style. Investors cannot invest directly in an index or benchmark.
The Morningstar Multialternative Category is generally representative of mutual funds with static allocations to alternative strategies and asset classes. The gross short exposure in these mutual funds is generally greater than 20%.
As disclosed in the Trust’s latest registration statement, the Fund’s total annual operating expenses, including underlying funds, are 1.98% for Class N, 2.98% for Class C and 2.23% for Class A. Class A shares are subject to a sales load of 5.75% and a deferred sales charge of up to 0.75%. The performance data quoted here represents past performance, which is not indicative of future results. Current performance may be lower or higher than the performance data quoted. The investment return and NAV will fluctuate, so that an investor’s shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. Total returns are calculated assuming reinvestment of all dividends and capital gains distributions, if any. The returns do not reflect the deductions of taxes a shareholder would pay on the redemption of Fund shares or Fund distributions.

Dunham High-Yield Bond Fund (Unaudited) |
Message from the Sub-Adviser (PineBridge Investments LLC) |
High-yield bonds, as measured by the ICE BofA ML US Cash Pay High-Yield Index, outperformed investment-grade corporate bonds, as measured by the ICE BofA ML US Corporate Index, and Treasury bonds, as measured by the ICE BofA ML US Treasury Index, during the most recent fiscal quarter and fiscal year. In the three-month period ended October 31, 2018, high- yield bonds fell 0.4 percent, investment-grade corporate bonds fell 1.1 percent, while Treasury bonds declined 0.7 percent. This outperformance of high -yield bonds caps off a relatively strong outperformance in the full fiscal year, when high-yield bonds increased 0.8 percent versus a 2.8 percent decline for investment-grade corporate bonds and a decline of 2.1 percent for Treasury bonds. In 2017, the Fed increased the Fed Funds rate three times for a total increase of 0.75 percent. For 2018, investors were given guidance that three increases could be on the way with a possibility of a fourth. The first three of these increases occurred on March, June and September with the possibility of another one coming in December.
The first half of the fiscal year was a tale of two halves for the high-yield market. In the first fiscal quarter, Congress made surprising progress on U.S. tax reform, supporting investors moving capital back into the asset class currently offering attractive spread levels and all-in yields. Positive investor sentiment continued into December as the market was able to easily absorb the passage of the GOP tax bill, a Fed rate hike, and multi-year highs in oil prices. The narrative for corporate fundamentals continued to improve amid upgrades to global growth expectations and optimism around the impact of GOP tax reform. However, toward the beginning of the second fiscal quarter, optimism began to wane as U.S. Treasury yields surged to reach the highest levels seen since 2014. Negative investor sentiment translated into outflows from the asset class, creating a negative technical environment and driving spreads wider. The volatility continued in the third fiscal quarter. Most topical were investor concerns related to U.S. trade policy and the potential impact on global growth expectations. In the final quarter of the fiscal year, equity markets suffered their largest monthly decline in seven years in October, as investors faced softening growth in Europe and emerging markets, Saudi Arabia-driven geopolitical concerns, Italy’s budget woes, Brexit, and a multi-year high in the U.S. treasury rate. Amid the turmoil, credit spreads in high yield debt markets, while wider, actually held in relatively well. Primary issuance remained subdued in October in response to heightened market volatility. The high-yield market remains significantly undersupplied so far in 2018, contributing to a supportive technical environment.
The Sub-Adviser’s approach to high-yield is generally focused on single-B and higher-rated debt, and has limited exposure to triple-C rated bonds. High-yield bonds rated double-B and single-B, as measured by the Bloomberg Barclays US High-Yield Ba/B 2% Issuer Capped Index, experienced a 156 basis point increase in yield from beginning to end of the fiscal year. Although the yield has increased to 6.23 percent since the beginning of the fiscal year, it is still well below the five year high of 7.63 percent that occurred in January 2016.
For the first three quarters of the fiscal year, the Fund benefited relatively from security selection while sector selection served as a slight detraction for the period. For the final quarter of the fiscal year, security selection was the main culprit, with sector selection having a relatively muted impact. From a sector selection standpoint, the Fund benefited from the cash position and overweight allocation to the REIT sector. However, these contributions were roughly offset by the impact of an underweight allocation to consumer non-cyclicals and off benchmark holdings. From a security selection standpoint, contributions from energy names were more than offset by detractions in the basic industry, finance company, and technology sectors. Two holdings that detracted from Fund performance over the most recent fiscal quarter and year were the Sanchez Energy Corp 6.125% 1/15/2023 (79970YAD7) (holding weight*: 0.13 percent) and the Altice Luxembourg SA 7.625% 02/15/25(02154VAB7) (holding weight*: 0.87 percent). These bonds detracted 50.1 percent and 14.7 percent, respectively.
The largest positions within the Fund came from the communications sector and had a meaningful impact on performance. For example, the Fund continued to hold the Sprint Corp. 7.875% bond maturing in 2023 (85207UAF2) (holding weight*: 3.01 percent). Sprint is currently the fourth largest wireless carrier in the United States, and during the most recent fiscal quarter, the Sprint Corp. bond increased 2.1 percent, resulting in a 2.7 percent increase for the full fiscal year. The selloff in the first fiscal quarter was triggered with the withdrawal of Sprint’s acquisition of T-Mobile in mid-November. The subsequent rally was sparked by the announcement of T-Mobile’s acquisition of Sprint. The second largest holding in the Fund at the end of the most recent fiscal year was the CSC Holdings LLC 5.5 4/15/27 (126307AQ0) (holding weight*: 1.53 percent), a subsidiary of Altice SUA Inc. (ATUS) (not held) that provides cable and internet services to consumers. During the most recent fiscal year, the CSC Holding bond detracted from performance within the Fund, declining 1.4 percent.
The Sub-Adviser believes that sales and earnings should remain strong for the next two quarters; however, momentum has peaked suggesting slower earnings growth ahead. At an option-adjusted spread of 350-375, valuations imply a default rate of 2 percent. It believes that value looks fair versus the cycle and marginally cheap over the six-month horizon. The technical backdrop remains positive overall, with volatile flows and continued light primary calendar. Trade war fears and commodity price movement may continue to have outsized influence day-to-day. However, the Sub-Adviser believes that investors will experience sustained gains from credit and see credit spreads tighten once the equity markets find stability.

BofA ML BB-B U.S. Non-Distressed HY Index is an unmanaged portfolio constructed to mirror the public high- yield corporate debt market and is a subset of the Merrill Lynch High Yield Master II Index.
Barclays U.S. Corporate High- Yield Bond Ba/B 2% Issuer Capped Index is an issuer-constrained version of the flagship US Corporate High Yield Index, which measures the USD-denominated, high yield, fixed-rate corporate bond market.
The Morningstar High-Yield Bond Category is generally representative of mutual funds that primarily invest in U.S. high-income debt securities where at least 65% or more of bond assets are not rated or are rated by a major agency such as Standard & Poor’s or Moody’s at the level of BB (considered speculative for taxable bonds) and below. Investors cannot invest directly in an index or benchmark.
As disclosed in the Trust’s latest registration statement, the Fund’s total annual operating expenses, including the cost of underlying funds, are 1.20% for Class N, 1.95% for Class C and 1.45% for Class A. Class A shares are subject to a sales load of 4.50% and a deferred sales charge of up to 0.75%. The performance data quoted here represents past performance, which is not indicative of future results. Current performance may be lower or higher than the performance data quoted. The investment return and NAV will fluctuate, so that an investor’s shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. Total returns are calculated assuming reinvestment of all dividends and capital gains distributions, if any. The returns do not reflect the deductions of taxes a shareholder would pay on the redemption of Fund shares or Fund distributions.

Dunham Alternative Dividend Fund (Unaudited) |
Message from the Sub-Adviser (Sungarden Fund Management, LLC) |
The Sub-Adviser believes U.S stock markets over the fiscal year ended October 31, 2018 have been characterized by periods of calm interrupted by sudden, violent selloffs and persistently negative returns for most other major asset classes outside of the U.S. equity markets. The Sub-Adviser points out that international stocks, as well as high-quality bonds, produced negative returns over the fiscal year period. The Sub-Adviser feels that while exposure to the outperforming S&P 500 Index allowed moderate and conservatively allocated portfolios to limit losses to low single-digits, it should be emphasized that without the S&P 500 and NASDAQ indices’ influence, balanced portfolios would have suffered tremendously. The Sub-Adviser believes this is a key theme going forward and that most investors and financial advisors are either not aware of it or complacent about it. Conservative strategies, as measured by the Dow Jones Moderately Conservative Portfolio Index, fell 0.4 percent over the fiscal year ended October 31, 2018.
The investment objective of the Fund is to provide income while preserving capital during market downturns. A secondary investment objective of the Fund is capital appreciation. The Sub-Adviser seeks to achieve the current income and capital appreciation of the Fund’s investment objective through an income and yield oriented portfolio, which is achieved through equity dividends primarily through common stocks, exchange-traded funds (“ETFs”) and exchange-traded notes (“ETNs”). The Fund invests principally in securities of companies the Sub-Adviser believes to be undervalued but also may invest in securities of companies that the Sub-Adviser believes to have the potential for long- term growth. The Fund’s Sub-Adviser seeks to achieve the Fund’s capital preservation investment objective by using securities such as inverse exchange-traded funds (“ETFs”), which aim to deliver performance opposite a major stock index (e.g., S&P 500); put options on indexes, ETFs, and individual securities; and cash in an attempt to protect the Fund against market declines.
Holdings that contributed positively to the Fund return included Verizon Communications Inc. (VZ) (holding percentage*: 3.03 percent), a company that offers communications, information, and entertainment products and services to consumers, businesses, and governmental agencies worldwide. The company is well positioned to benefit from the conversion to 5G technology in the wireless industry. The holding had a 12-month dividend yield of 4.2 percent and returned 25.0 percent for the fiscal year. Another top contributor to the Fund during the fiscal year was Kohl's Corporation (KSS) (holding weight**: 1.02 percent), a retailer in the United States. The Sub-Adviser felt that the stock price had perhaps gone up too quickly along with a run- up in the retail sector and that price increase provided an opportunity to book a profit. The Sub-Adviser decided to liquidate the position. The holding increased at annualized rate of 28.0 percent during the time owned during the fiscal year and paid a 3.1 percent dividend yield. Another top performer for the Fund was Cisco Systems, Inc. (CSCO) (holding weight*: 1.83 percent), a company that designs, manufactures, and sells Internet Protocol based networking and other products related to the communications and information technology industry worldwide. CSCO has been a leading performer in the technology space as well as benefitting from the overall rising tide in the technology sector. For the fiscal year, the holding increased 36.2 percent and paid a dividend yield of 2.8 percent.
One of the Fund’s top detractors to returns includes General Electric Co. (GE) (holding percentage**: 0.78 percent), a worldwide infrastructure and technology company. The holding had a 12- month dividend yield of 4.8 percent and experienced a 25.9 percent decline over the fiscal year. The Sub-Adviser decided to liquidate the position on March 14, 2018. One of the Fund’s core telecommunications holdings, AT&T (T) (holding percentage**: 2.75 percent), a company that provides communications and digital entertainment services, declined 7.6 percent over the fiscal year and paid out a 6.5 percent 12-month dividend yield. AT&T’s recent acquisitions have not added value to the stock. While the dividend continued to be strong, the Sub-Adviser decided the poor price performance did not justify holding the position for the dividend. The Sub-Adviser liquidated the holding on October 26, 2018. Another laggard for the Fund was Compass Minerals International, Inc. (CMP) (holding weight**: 1.51 percent), a company that produces and sells salt, and specialty plant nutrition and chemical products primarily in the United States, Canada, Brazil, and the United Kingdom. During the period, CMP had a production issue with its main salt mine. The holding fell 23.8 percent during the fiscal year and paid a dividend yield of 5.9 percent.
The Sub-Adviser has spent time during the last fiscal year prioritizing defensive positioning, with an expectation that the U.S. stock market, particularly the S&P 500 and NASDAQ, would join bonds in a "bear market." So far, in 2018, there have been three rapid market dives that have scared investors, but none of the moves followed through to the downside enough for the Fund to fully take advantage of the downside protection. October provided an example of what defensive positioning can do for the Fund. During the last month of the fiscal year, the S&P 500 Index fell by 9.2 percent while the Dow Jones Moderately Conservative Index fell by 3.3 percent. The Sub-Adviser has a portion of the Fund invested to be defensive, which can turn into a positive by exploiting down markets. These hedging positions in the Fund can complement the tactical income focus. Amidst the volatile environment, the Sub-Adviser believes that its self-described "bend, but don't break" approach helped sidestep much of the decline and the Fund outperformed the benchmark during the fiscal period. The Sub-Adviser’s view is that the Fund’s performance versus the benchmark can be a result of whether the period experiences high or low volatility; during periods of low volatility, the Sub-Adviser’s emphasis on options to protect the portfolio will temporarily drag on returns. However, the performance gap can be quickly made up when the stock markets become more volatile. This is not a long-term strategy for the Fund, but during what the Sub-Adviser believes is a very late stage bull market period, the Sub-Adviser feels it provides a better chance of achieving the Fund's objectives. However, consistently high dividend income continues to be an ever-present feature of the Fund's strategy.

Dunham International Opportunity Bond Fund (Unaudited) |
Message from the Sub-Adviser (Allianz Global Investors U.S. LLC) |
Since 2013, the United States Federal Reserve began to reverse course on its eased monetary policy. However, it was not until the end of 2015 that the first interest rate increase took place to bring the lower bound of the overnight rate above zero, and the pace of additional interest rate increases was slow until the end of 2016. Therefore, the “fear of rising rates” has not presented a significant problem for bond investors until the last two years. During the most recent fiscal year, the Fed raised rates four times, which placed upward pressure on U.S. 10- Year Treasury yields, as measured by the BofA Merrill Lynch U.S. Treasury 10-Year Index. During the fiscal year, the U.S. 10-Year Treasury fell 4.4 percent. As rising U.S. yields generally correlate with a rising dollar, foreign currencies broadly slumped against the U.S. dollar, as measured by the Deutsche Bank US Dollar Index, by 4.4 percent. This tightening policy stance taken by the U.S. Fed provided some breathing room for foreign central banks to continue their own tightening policies to keep local inflation in check.
Japan has long struggled to harness an inflation figure suitable for healthy economic expansion. Its central bank has targeted a near-zero yield on its 10-year government debt in an effort to encourage its investors to seek returns in its publicly traded companies. Nonetheless, Japan’s debt market remains one of the largest in the world. The Central Bank of Japan has maintained significantly accommodative monetary policies to spur growth, which has generally been to the detriment of the Yen. During the most recent fiscal quarter, the Yen slid 1.0 percent versus the U.S. dollar. However, the Yen had gained versus the U.S. dollar by 0.6 percent over the fiscal year. During the fiscal year, the largest holding in the Fund, Japan’s 2.1% government bond maturing in December 2027 (B2B35B7) (holding weight*: 7.31 percent), increased only 0.1 percent when priced in local currency. When converted to U.S. dollars, the flat return changed to a 0.7 percent gain during the same period due to the relative appreciation of the Yen. Although issued by a Japanese company, Sumitomo Mitsui Financial Group Inc. adjustable rate bond maturing in 2023 (86562MAW0) (holding weight*: 0.69 percent) issues its debt in U.S. dollars. Therefore, its 0.9 percent gain in the final fiscal quarter does not require any currency adjustment.
Throughout the fiscal year, the United Kingdom represented the second -largest country allocation in the Fund. The Fund’s exposure to the United Kingdom continued to be allocated between both government bonds and local corporate bonds. For example, the Fund not only held the United Kingdom 4.5% government bond maturing in 2042 (B1VWPJ5) (holding weight*: 0.97 percent), but also held the Britain-based insurer Lloyds Bank PLC 6.5% bond maturing in 2020 (B4XSGX3) (holding weight*: 0.67 percent) and the British multinational bank HSBC 6% bond maturing in 2019 (B51JX89) (holding weight*: 0.64 percent). During the fiscal year, the United Kingdom government bond increased 3.1 percent while the Lloyds Bank and HSBC bonds declined 0.1 percent each. Only the United Kingdom government bond was issued in British pounds, as the Lloyds Bank and HSBC bonds were issued in Euros. Therefore, the United Kingdom government bond’s gain was completely erased by the pound’s 3.9 percent slide versus the U.S. dollar. As the Euro fared better than the pound, only a 2.9 percent decline versus the dollar, the two banks’ slightly negative returns suffered a lesser downward adjustment when currency conversion was factored into performance.
One of the greatest struggles within the Fund during the fiscal year was through its exposure to Italy. Italian debt, such as the government-issued Buoni Poliennali del Tesoro 5% bond maturing in 2040 (B415B86) (holding weight*: 0.95 percent) was amongst the Fund’s poorest performers, as it declined 12.1 percent over the fiscal year. Italy’s debt decline was further exacerbated by the 2.9 percent decline in the Euro versus the U.S. dollar. Another European Union member to the north saw a lesser decline in its debt during the same time period. The Netherlands-based Deutsche Telekom 0.625% bond maturing in 2023 (BD1DGH7) (holding weight*: 0.77 percent) declined 1.1 percent over the fiscal year, as the conversion of Euros to U.S. dollars detracted an additional 2.9 percent. One of the strongest performers on the European mainland was the Deutschland 2.50% bond maturing in 2044 (B7X7Y93) (holding weight*: 0.50 percent). This German bund increased 4.8 percent in local currency terms during the fiscal year, and even after the Euro’s 2.9 percent haircut versus the U.S. dollar, the bund sustained slightly more than a 1.8 percent positive return.
As the currency denomination of the debt often varies with different issuances, the Republic of Indonesia’s 2.15% bond maturing in 2024 (BF41YJ0) (holding weight*: 0.62 percent) was one of the best beneficiaries of issuing its debt with an external currency. The bond, issued in Euros, declined 4.0 percent when adjusted to U.S. dollars. However, had it used its local currency, it would have seen an additional 8.0 percent negative adjustment, as the Indonesia Rupiah plummeted 10.9 percent versus the U.S. dollar during the fiscal year. The Fund also held the Malaysia Government 3.9% bond maturing in 2026 (BD6RZ22) (holding weight*: 0.31 percent), which increased 3.9 percent over the same 12- month period, when measured in its local Malaysian Ringgits. The Ringgit gained 1.1 percent versus the U.S. dollar, aiding the Malaysia Government bond to be one of the strongest performers in the Fund over the fiscal year, up 5.0 percent.
The Sub-Adviser has generally maintained a slightly shorter duration in the Fund as it continues to monitor the status of U.S. interest rate increases and the ramifications for foreign bond markets. As global economic growth momentum has generally slowed, the Sub-Adviser believes that pressure is building for central banks, particularly in the most developed countries, to tighten rather than continue to ease monetary policy. Specifically, this was evidenced by the G6 money supply growth remaining below its long-term averages, indicating weaker growth and inflation dynamics ahead. Coupling this number with the yield curve flattening, enhances the Sub-Adviser’s concerns. Therefore, the Sub-Adviser stressed that regional divergences will likely become more apparent and that being selective regarding regional exposures will be even more important going forward.

Dunham Appreciation & Income Fund (Unaudited) |
Message from the Sub-Adviser (Logan Circle Partners LP) |
It was a disappointing fiscal year ended October 31, 2018 for most asset classes around the globe. There were periods of strong equity growth, especially in the United States, as investors focused on a strong domestic economy, encouraging earnings releases, and some developments on the geopolitical front. These periods of growth were interrupted by two large spikes of volatility in February and October. During these periods, investors could not overlook all the geopolitical volatility. Additionally weighing on investors is the concern that the Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) will raise interest rates too quickly, possibly pushing the United States into a recession.
U.S. large cap stocks, as measured by the Russell 1000 Index, rose 7.2 percent during the first eight months of the fiscal year, while U.S. small cap stocks, as measured by the Russell 2000 Index, gained 10.3 percent. Fewer than one-third of the convertible securities in the Bank of America/Merrill Lynch All Convertibles All Qualities Index are issued by large capitalization companies. Therefore, the majority of convertible securities are more closely related to the movements in small- and mid-capitalization stocks. During the first eight months of the period ended October 31, 2018, convertible securities increased 6.2 percent. Most convertible securities are considered to be "equity-sensitive," meaning significant amounts of a convertible security's price movements are related to the movements of the underlying common stock rather than the bond itself. However, the bond component may still play a meaningful role in the pricing of the convertible security. Bonds in general, as measured by the Barclays Aggregate Bond Index, decreased 1.3 percent during the same period.
During this time, the Fund was managed as a convertible securities strategy. The Sub-Adviser continued to focus on identifying credit improvement opportunities in small- and mid-capitalization companies and non-investment grade securities. The Sub-Adviser looked to maximize return through both the value of the fixed income features and price changes in the underlying common stock. This is in contrast to convertible securities that trade predominantly on either the underlying stock movements or on the underlying bond characteristics. The Sub-Adviser believes that by focusing on this area of the convertible securities spectrum, it may reduce the volatility experienced from the common stocks while benefitting from the support offered by the bond features.
The Sub-Adviser’s strong security selection more than offset the slight detraction coming from their sector allocation. The security with the largest contribution to positive performance also came from the best performing sector which was the media sector. World Wrestling Entertainment, Inc. (98156QAA6) (holding weight**: 4.02 percent) is an integrated media and entertainment company with operations in live wrestling events, original television programming, music, and advertising, among others. World Wrestling Entertainment, Inc. increased 160.7 percent. A position that relatively detracted from performance over the first eight months of the fiscal quarter was Wright Medical Group, N.V. (98235TAE7) (holding weight**: 2.46 percent). This company offers surgical solutions for the upper and lower extremities and biologics markets, serving customers worldwide. This position increased 2.3 percent over the same time-period.
The Fund undertook a Sub-Adviser change on July 1, 2018. As of that date, the Fund was Sub-Advised by Logan Circle Partners, L.P. The Sub-Adviser implements a long short credit strategy that seeks positive returns regardless of market environment through a fundamental credit based, best ideas approach, implemented without a benchmark orientation while minimizing interest rate duration exposure. The trade format that attempts to achieve the idiosyncratic return profile is broken down into five different categories. These categories include long positions, short positions, pairs trades, catalyst driven, and opportunistic trades.
The largest portion of the Fund is dedicated to the core long positions. One position that positively contributed to Fund performance was the Republic of Argentina 6.25% 04/22/2019 (040114HB9) (holding weight*: 2.3 percent). This position increased 2.5 percent in final four months of the fiscal year. Contributions also came from the catalyst driven positions, which made up approximately 20 percent of the Fund. For example, Braskem America Finance Co 7.125% 7/22/2041 (0554CAA0) (holding weight*: 0.52 percent) is in advanced talks to be purchased by LyondellBasell Industries (LYB) (not held). This acquisition will increase the quality of Braskem as it will go from a BB rated Brazilian company to a BBB rated United States Company. This position increased 1.5 percent over the same time period. The most mercurial types of positions within the Fund is the opportunistic trades. These are often dynamic short term investments that seek to profit from temporary mispricing. An opportunistic position within the portfolio is the Enterprise Develop Authority 12.0% 07/15/2024 (29390WAA4) (holding weight*: 2.56 percent). This position is a development bond for the HardRock Casino being built in Sacramento. This position increased 1.8 percent during its short time in the Fund.
The Sub-Adviser is optimistic for the remainder of 2018 and the next year. Despite this optimism, there are concerns that the Sub-Adviser is closely monitoring. In regard to high grade supply, M&A related issuance has been in full force this year, but the list of pending deals has dwindled, and given the uncertainty in the macro landscape, particularly as it relates to pertinent issues like trade wars, there is certainly a risk that his could slow in 2019. High-yield meanwhile is running at the slowest pace of issuance since 2009, and there is little to indicate that this trend will abate. The Sub-Adviser still believes high-yield trades are too tight relative to investment grade, so the Sub-Adviser is likely to avoid the more “beta” type positions in high- yield. The Sub-Adviser believes that the recent bout of volatility proves the value of remaining nimble, and given the outlook for range bound spreads heading into year-end, they will look to add to liquid credit opportunities during these bouts of weakness

The BofA Merrill Lynch US 3-Month Treasury Bill Index +3% is comprised of a single issue purchased at the beginning of the month and held for a full month. At the end of the month that issue is sold and rolled in a newly selected issue. The issue selected at each month- end rebalancing is the outstanding Treasury Bill that matures closet to, but not beyond, three months from the rebalancing date. To qualify for selection, an issue must have settled on or before the month-end rebalancing date. Plus an annualized return of 3%.
The BofA Merrill Lynch All Convertibles All Qualities Index is a widely used index that measures convertible securities’ performance. It measures the performance of U.S. dollar-denominated convertible securities not currently in bankruptcy with a total market value greater than $50 million at issuance.
The Morningstar Convertibles Category is generally representative of convertible bond portfolios that are designed to offer some of the capital-appreciation of stock portfolios, while also supplying some of the safety and yield of bond portfolios.
As disclosed in the Trust’s latest registration statement as supplemented the Fund’s total annual operating expenses, including the cost of underlying funds, are 1.85% for Class N, 2.85% for Class C and 2.10% for Class A. Class A shares are subject to a sales load of 5.75% and a deferred sales charge of up to 0.75%. The performance data quoted here represents past performance, which is not indicative of future results. Current performance may be lower or higher than the performance data quoted. The investment return and NAV will fluctuate, so that an investor’s shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. Total returns are calculated assuming reinvestment of all dividends and capital gains distributions, if any. The returns do not reflect the deductions of taxes a shareholder would pay on the redemption of Fund shares or Fund distributions.

Dunham Large Cap Value Fund (Unaudited) |
Message from the Sub-Adviser (Rothschild Asset Management, Inc.) |
Large cap value stocks, as measured by the Russell 1000 Value Index, reversed course yet again in the most recent fiscal quarter, dropping 3.6 percent after increasing 4.8 percent for the previous fiscal quarter. These recent shifts brought performance over the fiscal year down to 3.0 percent. Over the most recent fiscal quarter, large cap growth stocks, as measured by the Russell 1000 Growth Index, similarly dropped, decreasing 3.4 percent, to end the fiscal year up 10.7 percent. During the fiscal year, concerns of an overheated market combined with fears that the Fed would raise rates “too quickly”, intensifying rhetoric surrounding tariffs and trade wars with China sparking the latest equity selloff. The dispersion across sector performance was significantly more pronounced in the most recent fiscal quarter than in the previous fiscal quarter. The dispersion from the best performing sector, consumer staples, and the worst performing sector, materials, was over 18 percent. Most of the dispersion was skewed toward the downside, as seven of the 11 sectors posted returns in the red and three posted negative returns in the double-digits.
The Fund maintained an overweight position in the healthcare sector, benefitting from the positive performance in the fiscal year. However, the Fund’s holdings within the sector experienced mixed results. Examples included Gilead Sciences Inc. (GILD) (holding weight*: 1.11 percent), a therapeutic provider for the treatment of infectious diseases, including hepatitis, HIV, and infections related to AIDS, and Pfizer Inc. (PFE) (holding weight*: 2.56 percent), one of the world’s largest research- based pharmaceutical firms, producing medicines and medical devices for a vast array of fields and applications. During the fiscal year, PFE increased 27.4 percent, while GILD decreased 6.3 percent. Conversely, stock selection played a positive role in the worst performing sector, materials. While the materials sector declined more than 9 percent during the fiscal year, the Sub-Adviser’s stock selection mitigated some of that loss through its careful stock selection. During the fiscal year, the Fund held Air Products and Chemicals Inc. (APD) (holding weight*: 1.23 percent), a producer and global distributor of atmospheric, process, and specialty gases. During the fiscal year, APD decreased only 0.6 percent, outperforming its sector peers by more than 8.0 percent.
One of the strongest performing sectors within the Fund and in the large cap value space was the technology sector. Although the sector was negative for large cap value stocks in general during the most recent fiscal quarter, down 1.8 percent, it increased more than 8.0 percent when measured over the full fiscal year. Two holdings that contributed positively to Fund performance during the most recent fiscal quarter’s drawdown were Microsoft Corporation (MSFT) (holding weight*: 1.99 percent), which develops, manufactures, licenses, sells, and supports software products and Oracle Corporation (ORCL) (holding weight*: 1.65 percent), which supplies software for enterprise information management. During the most recent fiscal quarter, MSFT and ORCL increased 1.1 percent and 2.9 percent, respectively. As the technology sector was the third-best performing large cap value sector over the fiscal year, this most recent fiscal quarter’s slight downturn was not enough to erase its earlier sizeable gains. For example, MSFT was up 30.7 percent over the fiscal year. ORCL, however, suffered a sizeable selloff in mid- March that it did not recover from through fiscal year-end, closing out the 12-month period with a negative 2.5 percent return.
As the largest underweight for the Fund, the consumer staples sector’s positive return in a sea of negative performance during the most recent fiscal quarter was a drag on relative performance. However, the Sub-Adviser’s stock selection was in-line with the sector’s performance. For example, the Fund continued to hold Tyson Foods, Inc. (TSN) (holding weight*: 1.30 percent). TSN produces, distributes, and markets chicken, beef, pork, prepared foods, and related products through national and regional grocery retailers. TSN was one of the poorest performers in the fiscal year, declining 16.4 percent, but in the most recent fiscal quarter, TSN rose 4.4 percent.
The largest sector in the large cap value space, financial services, ended the fiscal year down only 0.5 percent. As this sector comprises close to one-quarter of the index, it was a meaningful detractor from positive performance for the benchmark and for the Fund. Financial services companies, particularly banks and other lenders that generally benefit from a steeper yield curve, suffered from a stubbornly flat yield curve. The Fund did have exposure to financial services companies that have a lending component within their business lines, including JP Morgan Chase & Co. (JPM) (holding weight*: 4.14 percent), a global provider of financial services and retail banking. Although JPM is one of the United States’ largest lenders, it also has business lines that are less reliant on attractive lending margins. Therefore, JPM instead increased 10.8 percent during the fiscal year, outperforming its sector peers by more than 11 percent. The Fund also held Allstate Corp. (ALL) (holding weight*: 1.04 percent). As a property-liability insurer, ALL is still categorized as a financial services company, but due to having less reliance on the direction of interest rates or yield curve steepness, ALL was not impacted like the rest of the sector. During the fiscal year, ALL increased 3.8 percent.
The Sub-Adviser continues to believe that the negative macro headlines remain problematic for investors that are fearful of additional market declines. The Sub-Adviser also believes that as the Fed attempts to keep inflation in check, it could result in an adverse shock to the economy if the pace is too quick. Conversely, the Sub-Adviser believes moderate rate increases that are clearly broadcasted should be well-received by investors. The Sub-Adviser continues to emphasize that the corporate earnings backdrop is one of the strongest ever and sees expectations for 2019 starting to move up. The Sub-Adviser remains focused on identifying companies with what it believes are attractive valuations relative to peers.

Dunham Focused Large Cap Growth Fund (Unaudited) |
Message from the Sub-Adviser (The Ithaka Group, LLC) |
Over the fiscal year, concerns regarding escalating trade wars, faster inflation, geopolitical concerns, and higher interest rates were mostly overlooked as investors focused on a strong domestic economy and impressive earnings. U.S. equities rose higher until the final quarter of the fiscal year as some of these concerns came to the forefront as the President threatened tariffs on all remaining Chinese goods, the 10 year treasury increased over 40 basis points to 3.23 percent (albeit still near historic lows), and Fed Chairman, Jerome Powell’s, dubious response on the level of the neutral rate. Large cap growth stocks, as measured by the Russell 1000 Growth Index, increased 10.7 percent over the fiscal year ended October 31, 2018. Large cap growth stocks outperformed the broad U.S. stock market, as measured by the S&P 500 Index, as the index increased 7.3 percent. Furthermore, large cap growth stocks outperformed both small cap stocks and their large cap value counterparts. Small cap stocks, as measured by the Russell 2000 Index, increased 1.9 percent and large cap value stocks, as measured by the Russell 1000 Value Index, increased 3.0 percent over the fiscal year ended October 31, 2018.
The Sub-Adviser strives to own companies with prospects of strong, sustainable cash flow growth; that compete in business spaces with substantial market opportunity benefitting from secular trends; that possess competitive advantages and/or barriers to entry; and employ managers with vision and operating skills focused on creating shareholder value. The Sub-Adviser believes that the stocks in the Fund not only have strong balance sheets, but also garner free cash flow even in a stressed U.S. economic environment. The Sub-Adviser’s investment process consists of bottom- up fundamental analysis of individual companies that leads them to uncover what it believes are the best stocks, up to a maximum of 35 holdings, within the large cap growth universe.
The positions within the consumer discretionary sector was a large contributor to the Fund relative to the benchmark during the first three quarters of the fiscal year. However, in the final three-month period, this sector detracted from Fund Performance. Amazon.com, Inc. (AMZN) (holding weight*: 7.11 percent), a position within the consumer discretionary sector had a strong first three quarters of the fiscal year increasing over 6 percent The company beat earnings and revenue expectations by a considerable degree due to growth of its AWS cloud service and advertising business. AWS alone reported $6.1 billion in revenue which represents a 49 percent increases over the year. In the final three-month period ended October 31, 2018, AMZN detracted from Fund performance falling 10.1 percent. The Sub-Adviser attributes the move to a systematic market decline as investors’ unloaded positions that increased the most this year. A contributor from the consumer discretionary was Burlington Stores, Inc. (BURL) (holding weight*: 2.38 percent). BURL is a nationally recognized retailer of high-quality, branded merchandise at everyday low prices that are typically 40 to 60 percent below those of department stores. Burlington’s merchandise includes mostly in-season, fashion-focused footwear, apparel, and accessories for women, men, and children. BURL increased 13.9 percent since its inception into the portfolio in mid-July. The Sub-Adviser believes that the company’s growth will be driven by continued share gains in the off-price apparel and footwear segment, store growth and increasing store productivity.
Despite detracting for the three-month period ended October 31, 2018, the holdings within the technology sector were the strongest performing sector holdings for the full fiscal year. A position that contributed in the most recent fiscal quarter but also the full fiscal year was Adobe Systems Incorporated (ADBE) (holding weight*: 6.00 percent), which develops, markets, and supports computer design software products and technologies. ADBE increased 0.4 percent over the fiscal quarter, and 40.3 percent over the full fiscal year. The Sub-Adviser attributes the strong performance to a combination of a good quality product and sound execution by company leadership. The Sub-Adviser also believes that ADBE is experiencing a strong secular tailwind for the software as a service business, as tax reform has left large corporations with additional cash that is often being invested in software. Additionally, the Sub-Adviser was seeing a strong improvement in the digital marketing portion of revenue for ADBE. A position from the technology sector that detracted from Fund performance over the most recent fiscal quarter and year was, Alphabet Inc. (GOOG) (holding weight*: 5.88 percent), which, through its subsidiaries, provides web-based searches, advertisements, maps, software applications, mobile operating systems, consumer content, and commerce. GOOG fell 11.5 percent in the most recent quarter and increased only 5.9 percent over the full fiscal year. GOOG provided seesaw like returns over the fiscal year, which may be attributed to the government’s scrutiny of rival technology companies’ privacy policies in the second fiscal quarter, GOOG’s higher-than-anticipated capital expenditures, and a technology sell-off in the final three-month period ended October 31, 2018.
The Sub-Adviser claims no expertise in economic or market predictions, and top -down analysis plays no part in its approach to investing; instead, the Sub-Adviser uses a fundamentals-driven, bottom–up process to identify and own what it believes are the best growth companies. The Sub-Adviser strives to own companies with prospects of strong, sustainable cash flow growth; that compete in business spaces with substantial market opportunity benefitting from secular trends; that possess competitive advantages and/or barriers to entry; and employ managers with vision and operating skills focused on creating shareholder value. The Sub-Adviser believes that the stocks in the Fund not only have strong balance sheets, but also garner free cash flow even in a stressed U.S. economic environment.

Message from the Sub-Adviser (Arrowstreet Capital, L.P.) |
International equity markets, as measured by the MSCI All Country World ex USA Index (Net) (referred to as the “Index”), were down 8.24 percent during the 12-month period ending October 31, 2018 (the “fiscal year”).
The best performing developed market countries as measured by the Index during the fiscal year were Israel, up 11.22 percent, and Norway, up 3.96 percent. The worst performing developed market countries were Belgium, down 23.38 percent, and Italy, down 16.26 percent. The best performing emerging market countries during the fiscal year as measured by the Index were Qatar, up 37.31 percent and Russia, up 10.69 percent. The worst performing emerging market countries were Turkey, down 43.07 percent, and Greece, down 20.08 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 were: China, primarily due to an overweight in energy and an underweight to Information technology; and Brazil, primarily due to an overweight to the materials sector. Countries contributing most to underperformance relative to the Index included: Turkey, primarily due to an overweight in the financials sector, as well as, poor selection in materials; and Denmark, primarily due to overweights to the financials sector as well as underweights to the materials sectors.
Sectors contributing most to returns relative to the Index during the fiscal year included: the energy sector, primarily due to overweights in China, Russia, and Italy; the health care sector, primarily due to overweights in Japan; and the communication services sector, primarily due to underweights in China. The sectors contributing the most to underperformance relative to the Index was the information technology sector, primarily due to overweights in Japan and South Korea; and the utilities sector, primarily due to underweights in Germany.
The stocks contributing most to returns relative to the Index during the fiscal year included: Vale S.A. (holding weight*: 0.55 percent), a Brazilian materials company; oil company Lukoil Pjsc (holding weight*: 1.01 percent), a Russian energy company; and Sap Se (holding weight*: 1.08 percent), a German information technology company. Stocks contributing most to underperformance relative to the Index included: Samsung Electronics Co Ltd. (holding weight*: 2.84 percent), a South Korean information technology company; Continental AG (holding weight*: 0.56 percent), a German consumer discretionary company; and Danske Bank A/S (holding weight*: 0.44 percent), a Dutch financial company.

Dunham Real Estate Stock Fund (Unaudited) |
Message from the Sub-Adviser ( Barings LLC) |
The real estate investment trust (REIT) market had a positive fiscal year ended October 31, 2018, however a negative final three months eliminated about two-thirds of the year-to-date gains. Although the Sub-Adviser believes that historical data shows evidence that REIT fundamentals have not historically been driven by interest rates shifts, the increase in rates over the most recent fiscal year may have pushed investors to shy aware from REITs. Over the fiscal year, the 10-year Treasury rose from 2.37 percent at the beginning of the period to 3.23 percent at the end of the fiscal year, fluctuating within a 91 basis point range throughout. REITs, as measured by the FTSE NAREIT All REIT Index, increased 4.3 percent over the first three fiscal quarters, while dropping 2.7 percent in the fourth fiscal quarter. For the year, REITs increased 1.6 percent, while other broad equity indexes, such as the S&P 500 Index, gained 7.4 percent. The underperformance of REITs over the last fiscal year continued the trend of underperformance, since REITs also trailed the S&P 500 index the previous fiscal year by 14.8 percent.
The Sub-Adviser believes that the intrinsic value of a listed real estate company is a function of the quality of its real estate portfolio, management team, and capital plan. Achieving a thorough understanding of the real estate assets owned by an investment candidate is the foundation of establishing the value of that enterprise. Evaluating management’s ability to drive earnings and add value to underlying real estate assets is vital to the Sub-Adviser developing an understanding of the potential sustainable future success of the company. Assessing a firm’s financial structure within the context of the prevailing financial environment provides the Sub-Adviser with a framework to understand the risk and long-term potential of a firm’s business strategy. Free standing, regional mall, and manufactured home REIT sectors, had the strongest positive contributions to the Fund’s return over the past fiscal year. The timber, data center, and self storage REIT sectors, were the leading detractors to the Fund performance over fiscal year.
From a sector standpoint, the Fund’s underweight allocation to the diversified REIT sector had the biggest positive contribution to the Fund’s performance versus the benchmark over the fiscal year ended October 31, 2018. The Fund also outperformed versus the benchmark by being overweight in free standing REITs and underweight the timber REIT sector for the period. However, the performance due to allocation decisions by the Fund versus the benchmark was overall a net loss of 1.4 percent for the fiscal year. The Fund missed out on strong returns in the infrastructure REIT sector by being underweight versus the benchmark. Infrastructure REITS returned 8.2 percent for the benchmark during the fiscal year. The Fund was hurt relative to the benchmark by having almost twice the exposure to data center REITs during the period. The data center REIT sector lost 14.2 percent for the index during the period and the additional weighting by the Fund hurt relative performance. The Fund also lost ground versus the benchmark by being underweight self storage REITs. Self storage REITs returned 7.2 percent for the index over the fiscal year. Overall, the underperformance of the Fund can be attributed to asset allocation compared to the benchmark index. The Fund did add 0.3 percent in relative performance versus the benchmark due to security selection, but that was not enough to overcome the allocation decision shortfalls.
Within the equity selection, the top contributor to the Fund performance was Simon Property Group, Inc. (SPG) (holding weight*: 4.55 percent), a company that is a global leader in the ownership of premier shopping, dining, entertainment and mixed-use destinations. The holding returned 24.0 percent during the fiscal year. SPG benefited from continuing repositioning and repurposing of retail mall space. Another top contributor to the Fund was from the apartment REIT sector. UDR, Inc. (UDR) (holding percentage*: 5.15 percent), is a leading multifamily real estate investment trust that manages, buys, sells, develops and redevelops real estate properties in smaller tertiary U.S. markets. Over the fiscal year, the holding increased 12.1 percent. Another holding that contributed positively to the Fund’s performance was American Tower Corporation (AMT) (holding weight*: 5.11 percent), a company that is a leading independent owner, operator and developer of multitenant communications real estate with a portfolio of approximately 170,000 communications sites. The holding increased 10.8 percent during the fiscal year. The Sub-Adviser believes the company will continue to benefit from the effects of capital expenditures of wireless companies ongoing investments in developing 5G technology for their wireless platforms.
On the opposite side of the spectrum, security selection in data centers and timber sectors detracted from Fund performance versus the benchmark. The top two detractors to the Fund’s performance came from the data center space. Equinix, Inc. (EQIX) (holding weight*: 3.85 percent), a company that connects various companies directly to their customers and partners inside interconnected data centers, lost 16.5 percent during the fiscal year. Digital Realty Trust, Inc. (DLR) (holding weight*: 6.18 percent), a company that supports the data center, colocation and interconnection strategies of more than 2,300 firms across its secure, network-rich portfolio of data centers located domestically and internationally, decreased 9.7 percent during the fiscal year. Even with the poor yearly returns, the Sub-Adviser currently has a positive outlook for the data center REIT sector, which leads the Sub-Adviser to continue a strong overweight to the sector versus the benchmark. The Sub-Adviser believes the data center sector has growth opportunities and part of the poor performance was the overall negative sentiment to the tech sector in the market in general. Another detractor to the Fund’s return came from the timber REIT space. Weyerhaeuser Company (WY) (holding weight*: 1.83 percent), one of the world’s largest private owners of timberlands, tumbled 23.1 percent during the most recent fiscal year. The Sub-Adviser has concerns about the ongoing trade war between the U.S. and China, which has pushed the Chinese to buy timber from Canada and New Zealand. The Sub-Adviser also feels that the timber space might have performed poorly due to market concerns of a top in the housing market, which would slow home building and timber demand.
Going forward, the Sub-Adviser is optimistic about REIT performance through the remainder of 2018 and through next year, as it sees discounts to net asset values in several sectors. As mentioned earlier, the Sub-Adviser believes there are growth opportunities in the data center space. The Sub-Adviser also sees strong value opportunities in single family rentals, regional malls, and office REITs. The Sub-Adviser does not like the valuations in the health care and free standing triple net lease REIT spaces. The Sub-Adviser will continue to monitor the effects of the trade war between the United States and China on all of the REIT sectors. The Sub-Adviser will continue to look to take advantage of distortions in valuations throughout the macroeconomic, capital market, and real estate cycles, through investment selections that will favor specific themes with better growth, rather than country or sector allocations.

Dunham Small Cap Value Fund (Unaudited) |
Message from the Sub-Adviser (Piermont Capital Management, Inc.) |
Small cap value stocks, as measured by the Russell 2000 Value Index, experienced a volatile fiscal year rising and falling each fiscal quarter, ending the fiscal year nearly flat, down 0.6 percent. In the first fiscal quarter, small cap value stocks rose 3.2 percent. However during the second fiscal quarter, small cap value stocks whipsawed, down 2.2 percent. During the third fiscal quarter, small cap value stocks jumped back, rising 8.3 percent. Another reversal occurred during the last fiscal quarter, as small cap value stocks plunged 9.1 percent. The dispersion in sector performance during the fiscal year was high, as the best performing sector, communication services, outpaced the worst performing sector, materials, by approximately 26 percent. As the Sub-Adviser’s proprietary process seeks sector neutrality versus the benchmark index, the stock selection within each sector was the primary driver of relative performance.
The banking industry group, the largest weighting for the Fund, did not have as large of an impact on overall performance during the fiscal year compared to last fiscal year. The energy sector and the commercial services sector provided both contributors and detractors to Fund performance throughout the fiscal year, while the healthcare industry group was one of the top industry groups for the Fund during the fiscal year.
The Sub-Adviser’s stock selection is quantitatively derived, using a combination of five to nine factor groups for each sector model, which measure both fundamental and technical metrics. In contrast to the previous fiscal quarter’s top contributor coming from the energy sector, the most recent fiscal quarter’s top detractor came from the energy sector. The top detractor, Newpark Resources Inc. (NR) (holding weight*: 0.94 percent), a global supplier of drilling fluids systems and composite matting systems for oil and gas companies, was different than the third fiscal quarter’s top contributor, Penn Virginia Corporation (PVAC) (holding weight*: 0.86 percent), an independent oil and gas company engaged in the exploration, development and production of oil and natural gas primarily in Eagle Ford Shale in South Texas and other onshore regions of the United States. For the fiscal year, NR declined 6.2 percent and PVAC rocketed 76.5 percent, while the Russell 2000 Value Index energy sector decreased approximately 1.6 percent. True to the Sub-Adviser’s investment strategy, the Fund’s returns are a reflection of their security selection and not sector allocation decisions.
The third fiscal quarter’s second top contributor came from the commercial services industry group, while the fourth fiscal quarter’s second largest detractor was from the commercial industry group, specifically in the trucking industry. During the fourth fiscal quarter, Echo Global Logistics, Inc. (ECHO) (holding weight*: 0.90 percent), an international logistics company fell with the majority of the transportation sector in late September and its positive earnings release at fiscal quarter end was not enough to lift the holding from being the second greatest detractor. The previous fiscal quarter’s second top contributor, ArcBest Corporation (ARCB) (holding weight*: 1.15 percent), which provides freight and logistics solutions experienced increased demand and its good earnings report helped the holding contribute to positive Fund performance. Over the fiscal year, both ECHO and ARCB contributed to positive Fund performance, appreciating 6.9 percent and 14.8 percent, respectively. Meanwhile, the Russell 2000 Value Index industrials sector dropped approximately 1.3 percent during the fiscal year.
The healthcare industry group contributed to positive Fund performance during the fiscal year. Healthcare was the strongest performing industry group for the Fund during the first fiscal quarter, while healthcare had the top two contributors for Fund performance during the second fiscal quarter even though the sector was negative during the same period. During the third fiscal quarter, healthcare returned to the top performing industry group, while in the fourth fiscal quarter, healthcare fell slightly. Haemonetics Corporation (HAE) (holding weight**: 1.44 percent), a company that provides hematology products and solutions, was one such company that performed well over the fiscal year. The company continued year-over-year revenue increases, led by steady growth in their plasma franchise, which is seeing strong end-market demand for plasma-derived biopharmaceuticals. By the time the Sub-Adviser exited the holding on September 19, 2018, HAE returned 130.8 percent. Another contributor was Sucampo Pharmaceuticals Inc. (SCMP) (holding percentage**: 1.09 percent), a biopharmaceutical company focused on developing, identifying, acquiring, and marketing medicines that helped unmet medical needs, primarily in gastroenterology, ophthalmology, and oncology-related disorders. During the first fiscal quarter, the Sub-Adviser exited the holding on January 8, 2018, after the holding rose 84.0 percent. SCMP’s large gain was due to the announced acquisition of the company by a United Kingdom pharmaceutical company. A detractor for the Fund during the second fiscal quarter was Anika Therapeutics, Inc. (ANIK) (holding weight*: 0.61 percent), a company that provides orthopedic medicines for patients with degenerative orthopedic diseases and traumatic conditions globally. ANIK fell 34 percent during the second fiscal quarter. Part of the poor performance might be attributed to a revenue miss and a product recall during the period. However, ANIK still ended the fiscal year positive, up 7.5 percent.
The Sub-Adviser is optimistic that its highest-weighted factors will benefit from a continued outperformance of stocks with what it views as strong fundamentals. During the fiscal year, investors may have taken notice of small cap U.S. value stocks, as investors may have thought these companies were more insulated from tariffs since the majority of their customers tend to be from the U.S. In addition, the Sub-Adviser is optimistic that although it is sector neutral, its careful stock selection will allow it to be less interest rate sensitive within rate-sensitive sectors, as indicators suggest that rates will continue to rise in 2018. Furthermore, the Sub-Adviser believes that its sector-, beta-, and market-capitalization-neutral bottom-up stock picking strategy will continue to outperform based upon stock selection, especially during environments with elevated volatility, which may persist in the future.

Dunham Emerging Markets Stock Fund (Unaudited) |
Message from the Sub-Adviser (Bailard, Inc.) |
The fiscal year began with an upbeat tone that rewarded the historically higher-volatility asset classes such as emerging markets. In the first fiscal quarter, emerging markets stocks, as measured by the MSCI Emerging Markets Index, rose 12.5 percent. This surge was met with three consecutive negative fiscal quarters, as trade tensions and global shifts in monetary policy sent investors fleeing from generally higher risk asset classes. During the most recent fiscal quarter, emerging markets stocks fell 11.7 percent, bringing the return for the fiscal year deep into negative territory, down 12.5 percent. Although the broad emerging markets space was down double- digits during the most recent fiscal quarter and the entire fiscal year, the losses were not spread evenly across the emerging markets countries.
As the Sub-Adviser believes that there significant idiosyncrasies in the primary factors that drive or detract from economic growth amongst the emerging markets countries, it seeks to identify the differences that create persistent mispricing opportunities, especially those that translate to significantly affecting the price of publicly traded securities. Therefore, the Sub-Adviser’s country selection is expected to be a primary driver of the Fund’s performance. The Sub-Adviser focuses on individual countries and bottom-up stock selection within those countries, with an overweight or an underweight to economic sectors being largely incidental. During periods where the dispersion in country returns is wide, such as the most recent fiscal quarter, the Sub-Adviser’s country selection becomes even more crucial.
Unfortunately, when the top performing countries in one fiscal quarter flip to becoming among the poorest performers the next fiscal quarter, this poses additional difficulty in avoiding the adverse effects of those inflections. For example, in the first fiscal quarter South Africa was one of the strongest performing countries, outperforming emerging markets stocks in general by 9.4 percent. However, during the next three fiscal quarters, South Africa fell drastically, underperforming by 10.0 percent. During the fiscal year, South Africa was down 17.4 percent. Barloworld Limited (BAW SJ) (holding weight*: 0.35 percent), a South African industrial brand management company with many unrelated businesses, ranging from information technology, building materials, and motor vehicles proved to be a moderate detractor from Fund performance during the most recent fiscal quarter and the fiscal year. In local currency terms, the stock declined 5.4 percent during the most recent fiscal quarter and declined 7.5 percent over the fiscal year.
As China was consistently in the news headlines for the majority of the fiscal year, the Sub-Adviser generally maintained China as the Fund’s largest country weighting. Comprising nearly one- third of the emerging markets space, exposure to China dictated a sizeable amount of the returns for both the most recent fiscal quarter and the fiscal year. Along with many other emerging markets countries, China rose strongly in the first fiscal quarter, up 16.4 percent. However, as the tariff rhetoric soured, so did the returns as China fell 28.5 percent over the following three fiscal quarters. Fund holdings such as Agile Group Holdings Limited (3383 HK) (holding weight*: 0.70 percent), a developer and manager of commercial and hotel real estate properties, detracted further from the volatility experienced through the Fund’s allocation to China. During the most recent fiscal quarter, 3383 HK declined 22.5 percent, bringing its return for the fiscal year deep into negative territory, down 14.3 percent.
As the second and third largest developing markets, Korea and Taiwan comprised close to one-quarter of emerging markets equities. During the fiscal year, Korea decreased 19.9 percent while Taiwan decreased 9.0 percent. Although the Fund’s overweight allocation to Taiwan contributed positively to the Fund’s relative performance, the security selection within Taiwan generally detracted. During the fiscal year, the Fund held Macronix International Co., Ltd. (2337 TT) (holding weight*: 0.39 percent), a developer of memory products, including nonvolatile memory integrated circuits, Read Only Memory, and flash memory. As 2337 TT struggled with U.S./China trade-war concerns impacting major Taiwanese exporters, the stock declined 62.8 percent during the fiscal year. Conversely, some of the countries with moderate allocations, such as Russia and Brazil, not only performed quite disparately from their developing market peers, but were two of a very small group that finished the fiscal year in positive territory. During the fiscal year, Russia and Brazil increased 10.7 percent and 4.8 percent, respectively. In addition, the Sub-Adviser’s stock selection within these countries contributed further to these positive returns. Lukoil PJSC (LKOD LI) (holding weight*: 2.27 percent), a vertically integrated Russian oil and gas company, and Banco Santander Brasil SA (BSBR) (holding weight*: 1.21 percent), a Brazilian bank that offers retail, commercial, and private banking in addition to asset management services, experienced strong positive performance during the fiscal year, rising 41.8 percent and 29.8 percent, respectively.
Since the start of the fiscal year, the Sub-Adviser has consistently reiterated its belief that emerging markets have been trading at a significant discount to developed markets, particularly compared to the U.S. market. This latest downturn has added to the relative deficit. The Sub-Adviser also believes that as central banks around the globe seek ways to reign in their historically lenient fiscal policies, developing markets may provide an attractive opportunity for growth, particularly at these depressed valuations. Additionally, the Sub-Adviser is optimistic that as the trade war rhetoric begins to dissipate, general risk-taking in the market should return.

Dunham Small Cap Growth Fund (Unaudited) |
Message from the Sub-Adviser (Pier Capital, LLC) |
Small cap growth stocks, as measured by the Russell 2000 Growth Index, decreased 9.4 percent in the most recent fiscal quarter, bringing down the performance of the benchmark for the fiscal year to a return of 4.1 percent. During the fiscal year, the heaviest weighted sectors in the benchmark index had a mixed performance. The heaviest weighted sector, health care, at nearly one quarter of the benchmark’s assets, returned a strong 11.5 percent during the fiscal year. The next highest weighted sector in the index is information technology at 20.3 percent. The information technology sector returned 6.1 percent for the fiscal year. Even with strong performances from those two sectors, the overall return of the index was held down by a poor fiscal year for the industrial sector. At 18.0 percent of the benchmark and losing 5.2 percent for the fiscal year, the industrial sector was a drag on the benchmark’s performance for the period.
The Fund outperformed the benchmark for the fiscal year by 11.9 percent. Most of the outperformance was due to security selection, but sector allocation did add some net positive performance to the Fund for the fiscal year. The Fund was underweight the materials sector which was a positive for the Fund versus the benchmark. The materials sector fell 15.4 percent for the fiscal year for the benchmark, which meant that the Funds allocation of less than 1 percent to the sector was a comparative benefit. The Fund also had limited exposure to the real estate sector with less than 1 percent of the holdings in the space. The Fund also outperformed the benchmark by having an overweight to communications services. The sector returned 13.2 percent during the fiscal year. The Fund benefitted by having almost twice the exposure to the sector when compared to the benchmark’s weighting.
The remaining outperformance by the Fund versus the benchmark index for the fiscal year came from security selection. The technology sector was by far the largest overweight for the Fund during the fiscal year, even though it is highly weighted in the benchmark index. The large overweight enhanced the overall return to the Fund as the security selection for the information technology sector returned 20.8 percent for the Fund during the fiscal year. The health care sector was also a strong sector for the Fund. The securities in the health care sector returned 45.8 for the Fund during the period. The other leading sector for the Fund’s return was the consumer discretionary sector. During the fiscal year, the stock selection in the consumer discretionary sector returned 43.8 percent for the Fund. The few misses for the Fund primarily came from the financial sector. The Fund’s holdings in the financial sector lost 14.6 percent for the Fund during the period. The poorest performing sectors for the Fund were real estate and materials, which fell 30.4 percent and 29.9 percent, respectively. As stated earlier, since the weighting in the Fund for these sectors were both under 1 percent, the impact to the Fund performance was limited.
In reviewing the individual positions, the top contributor to the Fund’s performance during the fiscal year period came from the heavily-weighted information technology sector. Roku, Inc. (ROKU) (holding percentage*: 1.02 percent), a company that offers streaming media players and accessories under the Roku brand that allow users to access its TV streaming platform, returned 168.7 percent during the fiscal year. ROKU continues to profit from the cord- cutting movement. Being first-to-market in their space led to a large subscriber base that allows for targeted advertising sales. Etsy, Inc. (ETSY) (holding percentage**: 0.27 percent), a company that offers a commerce platform to sell and buy homemade goods online, increased 201.9 percent before being sold by the Sub-Adviser on September 26, 2018. Another top contributor to the Fund during the fiscal year was Foundation Medicine, Inc. (FMI) (holding percentage**: 1.32 percent), a world-leading molecular insights company, connecting physicians and their patients to the latest cancer treatment approaches and making precision medicine a reality for thousands. A competitor acquired the company in June. The holding increased 203.7 percent for the Fund during the fiscal year period.
Even with the strong security selection outperformance against the benchmark for the period, the Fund did have some individual holdings that were detractors to the Fund’s return. The top detractor to the performance of the Fund was eHealth, Inc. (EHTH) (holding percentage**: 0.30 percent), a company that provides private online health insurance exchange services to individuals, families, and small businesses in the United States and China. EHTH is a healthcare knowledge source, but had trouble diversifying into Medicare options. The holding lost 47.8 percent during the fiscal year before being liquidated by the Fund on March 5, 2018. Another poor performer for the Fund was Tivity Health, Inc. (TVTY) (holding percentage**: 0.44 percent), a company that provides fitness and health improvement programs in the United States. One of TVTY’s primary offerings is the SilverSneakers senior fitness program. However, the partnerships have not been as profitable as envisioned, which cause the holding to lose 24.9 percent before being liquidated by the Fund on November 17, 2017. Another detractor to the Fund’s performance was from the information technology sector. Mercury Systems, Inc. (MRCY) (holding percentage**: 0.41 percent), a company that provides sensor and safety critical mission processing subsystems for various critical defense and intelligence programs in the United States, had a tough period as capital expenditure costs soared. MRCY increased spending in hopes of keeping up with their deep-pocketed competitors. The spending strategy led to poor financials and the Fund exited the position on April 27, 2018. The holding lost 36.4 percent during the fiscal year period.
In general, the Sub-Adviser’s stock selection was the main factor for outperformance of the Fund versus the benchmark for the most recent fiscal year. The Sub-Adviser’s investment approach involves a thorough understanding of each stock’s value proposition and risk. The Sub-Adviser is continuing to monitor the effects of tariffs, health care policies and infrastructure spending opportunities on future small cap growth stock valuations.

1. | ORGANIZATION |
Each Dunham Fund (each, a “Fund” and collectively 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, as amended, (the “1940 Act”) 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 fifteen funds: Dunham Floating Rate Bond Fund; Dunham Corporate/Government Bond Fund; Dunham Monthly Distribution Fund; Dunham Dynamic Macro Fund; Dunham High-Yield Bond Fund; Dunham Alternative Dividend Fund; Dunham International Opportunity Bond Fund; Dunham Appreciation & Income Fund; Dunham Large Cap Value Fund; Dunham Focused Large Cap Growth Fund; Dunham International Stock Fund; Dunham Real Estate Stock Fund; Dunham Small Cap Value Fund; Dunham Emerging Markets Stock Fund; and Dunham Small Cap Growth Fund. With the exception of Dunham Focused Large Cap Growth Fund, Dunham International Opportunity Bond Fund, and Dunham Real Estate Stock Fund, the remaining Funds are diversified funds within the meaning of the 1940 Act.
Fund | Primary Objective | |
Dunham Floating Rate Bond Fund (“Floating Rate Bond”) | High level of current income | |
Dunham Corporate/Government Bond Fund (“Corporate/Government Bond”) | Current income and capital appreciation | |
Dunham Monthly Distribution Fund (“Monthly Distribution”) | Positive returns in rising and falling market environments | |
Dunham Dynamic Macro Fund (“Dynamic Macro”) | Maximize total return from capital appreciation and dividends | |
Dunham High-Yield Bond Fund (“High-Yield Bond”) | High level of current income | |
Dunham Alternative Dividend Fund (“Alternative Dividend”) | Income while preserving capital during market downturns | |
Dunham International Opportunity Bond Fund (“International Opportunity Bond”) | High level of current income | |
Dunham Appreciation & Income Fund (“Appreciation & Income”) | Maximize total return under varying market conditions through both current income and capital appreciation | |
Dunham Large Cap Value Fund (“Large Cap Value”) | Maximize total return from capital appreciation and dividends | |
Dunham Focused Large Cap Growth Fund (“Focused Large Cap Growth”) | Maximize capital appreciation | |
Dunham International Stock Fund (“International Stock”) | Maximize total return from capital appreciation and dividends | |
Dunham Real Estate Stock Fund (“Real Estate Stock”) | Maximize total return from capital appreciation and dividends | |
Dunham Small Cap Value Fund (“Small Cap Value”) | Maximize total return from capital appreciation and income | |
Dunham Emerging Markets Stock Fund (“Emerging Markets Stock”) | Maximize capital appreciation | |
Dunham Small Cap Growth Fund (“Small Cap Growth”) | Maximize capital appreciation |
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 differences being that Class A shares are subject to a front-end sales charge and an annual service fee, Class C shares are subject to an annual service and distribution fee and Class N shares have a higher minimum investment amount. Investors that purchase $1,000,000 or more of Class A shares will not pay any initial sales charge on the purchase. However, purchases of $1,000,000 or more of Class A shares may be subject to a contingent deferred sales charge (“CDSC”) on shares redeemed during the first 18 months after their purchase in the amount of the commissions paid on the shares redeemed. The Class C and Class N shares, with the exception of Monthly Distribution, High-Yield Bond , Dynamic Macro, Focused Large Cap Growth, Floating Rate Bond, International Opportunity Bond, and Alternative Dividend 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 Class N shares commenced operations on July 1, 2005. The Class A shares for all Funds except Monthly Distribution, Dynamic Macro, Focused Large Cap Growth, Floating Rate Bond, International Opportunity Bond, and Alternative Dividend commenced operations on January 3, 2007. Monthly Distribution’s Predecessor Fund’s Class A shares and Class C shares commenced operations on December 26, 2000. Monthly Distribution’s Class N shares commenced operations on September 29, 2008. Dynamic Macro commenced operations on April 30, 2010. Focused Large Cap Growth commenced operations on December 8, 2011. Floating Rate Bond and International Opportunity Bond commenced operations on November 1, 2013. Alternative Dividend commenced operations on August 31, 2016.
2. | 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 Funds are investment companies and accordingly follow the investment company accounting and reporting guidance of the Financial Accounting Standards

Board (FASB) Accounting Standard Codification Topic 946 “Financial Services – Investment Companies” including FASB Accounting Standard Update ASU 2013-08.
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 mean between the current bid and ask price is used. If market quotations are not readily available, then securities are valued at fair value as determined by the Board of Trustees of the Trust (the “Board”) (or its delegate). U.S. Government and Agency securities are valued at the mean between the most recent bid and ask prices. Short-term debt instruments with a remaining maturity of more than 60 days, intermediate and long-term bonds, convertible bonds, bank loans 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 ask 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 ask prices may be used. Short-term debt securities with a remaining maturity of 60 days or less may be valued at amortized cost, provided such valuations represent fair value.
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 ask price.
Futures and future options are valued daily at the final settled price or, in the absence of a settled price, at the mean between the current bid and ask prices on the day of valuation.
Trading in securities on Far East 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 New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) is open). In addition, Far East 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 the 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 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 a Fund’s NAV. However, management may determine that such developments are so significant that they will materially affect the value of a 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. Both International Stock and Emerging Markets Stock utilize fair value prices as provided by an independent pricing vendor on a daily basis for those securities traded on a foreign exchange.
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.
Valuation of Fund of Funds - The Funds may invest in portfolios of open-end investment companies. Open-end investment companies are valued at their respective net asset values as reported by such investment companies. Open-end investment companies value securities in their portfolios for which market quotations are readily available at their market values (generally the last reported sale price) and all other securities and assets at their fair value based on the methods established by the board of directors of the open-end investment companies.
The Funds utilize various methods to measure the fair value 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.
94
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS |
October 31, 2018 |
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 inputs or methodology used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities. The following tables summarize the inputs used as of October 31, 2018 for the Funds’ assets and liabilities measured at fair value:

The Funds did not hold any Level 3 securities during the period.
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 rates 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.
d. Options – Monthly Distribution, Dynamic Macro, and Alternative Dividend are subject to stock market risk in the normal course of pursuing their investment objectives 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 that 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 a 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, that Fund will realize 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 a Fund has written on an equity security is exercised, the amount of the premium originally received reduces the cost of the security that a Fund purchases upon exercise of the option. When a Fund writes a put option, that 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 that Fund’s portfolio. If such a decline occurs, the put options will permit that 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 that Fund upon exercise of the option, and, unless the price of the underlying security rises or declines sufficiently, the option may expire worthless to that 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 that Fund, the benefits realized by that 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.
e. Swap Agreements – Monthly Distribution and Appreciation & Income are subject to stock market risk and fixed income 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 and credit risk. These are 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 Statements 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 Statements of Assets and Liabilities and may be referred to as upfront payments. The Funds amortize 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 Statements 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 Statements of Operations. The Funds segregate 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 Statements of Assets and Liabilities. The Funds’ 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.
f. Futures Contracts – Dynamic Macro, International Opportunity Bond, and Appreciation & Income are subject to equity risk, interest rate risk and forward currency exchange rate risk in the normal course of pursuing their investment objectives. The Funds may purchase or sell futures contracts to gain exposure to, or hedge against, changes in the value of equities, interest rates, and foreign exchange rates. Initial margin deposits required upon entering into futures contracts are satisfied by the segregation of specific securities or cash as collateral for the account of the broker (the Fund’s agent in acquiring the futures position). During the period the futures contracts are open, changes in the value of the contracts are recognized as unrealized gains or losses by “marking to market” on a daily basis to reflect the market value of the contracts at the end of each day’s trading. Variation margin payments are received or made depending upon whether unrealized gains or losses are incurred. When the contracts are closed, the Funds recognize a realized gain or loss equal to the difference between the proceeds from, or cost of, the closing transaction and the Fund’s basis in the contract. If the Funds were unable to liquidate a futures contract and/or enter into an offsetting closing transaction, the Funds would continue to be subject to market risk with respect to the value of the contracts and continue to be required to maintain the margin deposits on the futures contracts. The Funds segregate cash having a value at least equal to the amount of the current obligation under any open futures contract. Risks may exceed amounts recognized in the Statements of Assets and Liabilities. With futures, there is minimal counterparty credit risk to the Funds since futures are exchange traded and the exchange’s clearinghouse, as counterparty to all exchange traded futures, guarantees the futures against default.
The notional value of the derivative instruments outstanding as of October 31, 2018 as disclosed in the Schedules of Investments and the amounts realized and changes in unrealized gains and losses on derivative instruments during the year then ended within the Statements of Operations serve as indicators of the volume of derivative activity for the Funds.
g. Short Sales – A “short sale” is a transaction in which a Fund sells a security it does not own but has borrowed in anticipation that the market price of that security will decline. The Fund would be 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.

j. Exchange Traded Funds – The Funds may invest in exchange traded funds (“ETFs”). ETFs are a type of index fund bought and sold on a securities exchange. An ETF trades like common stock and represents a fixed portfolio of securities. A Fund may purchase an ETF to temporarily gain exposure to a portion of the U.S. or a foreign market while awaiting purchase of underlying securities. The risks of owning an ETF generally reflect the risks of owning the underlying securities they are designed to track, although the lack of liquidity on an ETF could result in it being more volatile. Additionally, ETFs have fees and expenses that reduce their value.
k. 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 and expense 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 that the respective Fund, using reasonable diligence, becomes aware of
105
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS |
October 31, 2018 |
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.
l. 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.
Certain Funds may invest in collateralized mortgage obligations which are secured by groups of individual mortgages, but are similar to a conventional bond where the investor looks only to the issuer for payment of principal and interest. Although the obligations are recourse obligations to the issuer, the issuer typically has no significant assets, other than assets pledged as collateral for the obligations, and the market value of the collateral, which is sensitive to interest rate movements, may affect the market value of the obligations. A public market for a particular collateralized mortgage obligation may or may not develop and thus, there can be no guarantee of liquidity of an investment in such obligations.
The risk in writing a call option is that a 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 a 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 a 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.
m. 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 2015 to 2017 and expected to be taken in tax year 2018 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 jurisdiction 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.
n. 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, High-Yield Bond, Appreciation & Income, Floating Rate Bond and International Opportunity Bond which will distribute their respective net investment income, if any, monthly. For Alternative Dividend 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. Monthly Distribution’s distribution policy is to make twelve monthly distributions to shareholders. The level of monthly distributions (including any return of capital) is not fixed but is expected to be at or near the level of the prime interest rate (“Prime Rate”). Additionally, Monthly Distribution’s distribution policy is not designed to generate, and is not expected to result in, distributions that equal a fixed percentage of Monthly Distribution’s current net asset value per share. Shareholders receiving periodic payments from Monthly Distribution may be under the impression that they are receiving net income. However, all or a portion of a distribution may consist of a return of capital. Shareholders should not assume that the source of a distribution from Monthly Distribution is net income.

o. 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.
3. | 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 Trust, on behalf of 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. 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. |
Adviser’s | Sub-Adviser’s | |||||
Management Fee | Portion | Portion | ||||
Floating Rate Bond | 0.70% – 1.10% | 0.60% | 0.10% – 0.50% | |||

Emerging Markets Stock | 0.75% – 1.55% | 0.65% | 0.10% – 0.90% | |||
Small Cap Growth | 0.65% – 1.65% | 0.65% | 0.00% – 1.00% |
* | Prior to April 1, 2018 the Sub-Adviser’s portion for Monthly Distribution was 0.25%-1.05% and the Management Fee was 0.90%-1.70%. **Prior to July 1, 2018, the Sub-Adviser’s portion for Appreciation & Income was 0.20%-0.60% and the Management Fee was 0.85%-1.25%. |
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, most Fulcrum Fees employ 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 Funds 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 High Yield Bond which is in its initial year of a new Fulcrum Fee arrangement, are calculating Performance Fees on a rolling 12-month basis as of October 31, 2018.
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, 0.10%), the Sub-Adviser, in most cases, will receive less 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.
107
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS |
October 31, 2018 |
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.
The table below lists the current Sub-Advisers along with their Fulcrum Fee arrangements.

The difference between book basis and tax basis unrealized appreciation (depreciation), undistributed net investment income (loss) and accumulated net realized gain (loss) from security transactions are primarily attributable to the tax deferral of losses on wash sales and straddles, adjustments for gains on contingent convertible debt securities, the mark-to-market treatment of open forward foreign currency contracts, options, futures, dividend payable and swap contracts, and adjustments for section 305(c) deemed dividend distributions, real estate investment trusts, partnerships, preferred securities, perpetual bonds, passive foreign investment companies, constructive sales of securities held short, straddles and C Corporation return of capital distributions. In addition, the amount listed under other book/tax differences are primarily attributable to the tax deferral of losses on straddles and constructive sales, and tax adjustments for accrued dividend payable.
Late year losses incurred after December 31 within the fiscal year are deemed to arise on the first business day of the following fiscal year for tax purposes. The Funds incurred and elected to defer such late year losses as follows:

8. | LINE OF CREDIT |
Currently, the Funds have a $40,000,000 uncommitted line of credit provided by U.S. Bank National Association (the “Bank”) under an agreement (the “Uncommitted Line”). Any advance under the Uncommitted Line is contemplated primarily for temporary or emergency purposes, including the meeting of redemption requests that otherwise might require the untimely disposition of securities. Interest on borrowings is payable on an annualized basis. The Uncommitted Line is not a “committed” line of credit, which is to say that the Bank is not obligated to lend money to a Fund. Accordingly, it is possible that a Fund may wish to borrow money for a temporary or emergency purpose but may not be able to do so. During the year ended October 31, 2018, Corporate/Government Bond, Monthly Distribution, High-Yield Bond, International Opportunity Bond, Focused Large Cap Growth, International Stock, Small Cap Value, Emerging Markets Stock and Small Cap Growth accessed the line of credit based only on the days borrowed and the average amount of borrowings outstanding were $2,918,800, $9,903,267, $2,483,000, $290,857, $2,629,000, $373,438, $43,500, $1,000,000, $887,000, respectively. The interest expense for all of the Funds listed above is immaterial. As of October 31, 2018, all of the Funds listed above had no outstanding borrowings under the Credit Agreement.
9. | SECURITIES LENDING |
The Funds have entered into a Securities Lending Agreement (“Agreement”) with the Bank. Each participating Fund can lend their securities to brokers, dealers and other financial institutions approved by the Board to earn additional income. Loans are collateralized at a value at least equal to 105% of the then current market value of any loaned security that are foreign, or 102% of the then current market value of any other loaned security. The following funds are below the 102% threshold due to market fluctuation, Monthly Distribution, Dynamic Macro, High Yield Bond, Large Cap Value, Focused Large Cap Growth, International Stock, Emerging Markets, and Small Cap Growth. All interest and dividend payments received on securities which are held on loan, provided that there is no material default, will be paid to the respective Fund. A portion of the income generated by the investment in the collateral, net of any rebates paid by the Bank to the borrowers is remitted to the Bank as lending agent and the remainder is paid to the Fund(s).
Securities lending income, if any, is disclosed in the Funds’ Statements of Operations. Although risk is mitigated by the collateral, the Funds could experience a delay in recovering their securities and possible loss of income or value if the Borrower fails to return them. Should the borrower of the securities fail financially, each Fund has the right to repurchase the securities using the collateral in the open market. The remaining contractual maturity of all securities lending transactions are overnight and continuous.

From time to time the collateral may not be 102% due to end of day market movement. The next business day additional collateral is obtained/received from the borrower to replenish/reestablish 102%. |
10. | UNDERLYING INVESTMENTS IN OTHER INVESTMENT COMPANIES |
The Funds invest in other investment companies. Each underlying fund, including each ETF, is subject to specific risks, depending on the nature of the underlying fund. These risks could include liquidity risk, sector risk, foreign and related currency risk and high yield risk. Investors in the Funds will indirectly bear fees and expenses charged by the underlying investment companies in which the Funds invest in addition to the Funds’ direct fees and expenses. All the Funds may invest in investment companies. Such investments would subject the Funds to similar risks.
The performance of the Alternative Dividend Fund and the Monthly Distribution Fund will be directly affected by the performance of the Invesco Short-Term Investments Trust Treasury Portfolio – Institutional Class and the Fidelity Investments Money Market Fund – Class I, Respectively. The financial statements of these Funds, including the portfolio of investments, can be found at the Securities and Exchange Commission’s (“SEC”) website www.sec.gov and should be read in conjunction with the Alternative Dividend Fund’s and Monthly Distribution Fund’s financial statements. As of October 31, 2018, the percentage of the Alternative Dividend Fund’s net assets invested in the Invesco Short-Term Investments Trust Treasury Portfolio – Institutional Class was 35.7% and the percentage of the Monthly Distribution Fund invested in the Fidelity Investments Money Market Fund- Class I was 41.3%.
11. | RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS |
In March 2017, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2017-08, Receivables—Nonrefundable Fees and Other Costs (Subtopic 310-20): Premium Amortization on Purchased Callable Debt Securities. The amendments in the ASU shorten the amortization period for certain callable debt securities, held at a premium, to be amortized to the earliest call date. The ASU does not require an accounting change for securities held at a discount; which continues to be amortized to maturity. The ASU is effective for fiscal years and interim periods within those fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018. Management is currently evaluating the impact, if any, of applying this provision.
115
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS |
October 31, 2018 |
In August 2018, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2018-13, which changes certain fair value measurement disclosure requirements. The new ASU, in addition to other modifications and additions, removes the requirement to disclose the amount and reasons for transfers between Level 1 and Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy, and the policy for the timing of transfers between levels. For investment companies, the amendments are effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, and interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is allowed. At this time, management is evaluating the implications of the ASU and any impact on the financial statement disclosures.
In September 2018, the Securities and Exchange Commission adopted amendments to certain disclosure requirements under Regulation S-X to conform to US GAAP, including: (i) an amendment to require presentation of the total, rather than the components, of distributable earnings on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities; and (ii) an amendment to require presentation of the total, rather than the components, of distributions to shareholders, except for tax return of capital distributions, if any, on the Statement of Changes in Net Assets. The amendments also removed the requirement for parenthetical disclosure of undistributed net investment income on the Statement of Changes in Net Assets.
12. | SUBSEQUENT EVENTS |
Subsequent events after the date of the Statements of Assets and Liabilities have been evaluated through the date the financial statements were issued. Management has determined that no events or transactions occurred requiring adjustment or disclosure in the financial statements.

Basis for Opinion
These financial statements are the responsibility of the Funds’ management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Funds’ financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (“PCAOB”) and are required to be independent with respect to the Funds in accordance with the U.S. federal securities law and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Funds are not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of their internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audits we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Funds’ internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.
Our audits include performing procedures to assess the risk of material misstatement of those financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of October 31, 2018 by correspondence with the custodian, agent banks, and brokers, or by other appropriate auditing procedures where replies from agent banks and/or brokers were not received. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION (Unaudited) |
Meeting of the Board of Trustees Held on June 26, 2018
On June 26, 2018, the Board of Trustees (the “Board”) of Dunham Funds (the “Trust”), a Delaware business trust, met to consider, among other things, the approval of a new sub-advisory agreement (the “Sub-Advisory Agreement”) with Logan Circle Partners, L.P. (“Logan Circle”) as sub-adviser to the Dunham Appreciation & Income Fund (the “Fund”).
The Independent Trustees had reviewed materials provided by Logan Circle prior to the Board meeting. Representatives from Dunham & Associates Investment Counsel, Inc. (the “Adviser”) attended the Board meeting in-person and representatives from Logan Circle participated in the Board meeting by telephone and responded to questions from the Trustees. The Trustees reviewed a memorandum from Fund counsel that reviewed their fiduciary duties pertaining to the approval of the Sub-Advisory Agreement and the factors they should consider in their evaluation of the Sub-Advisory Agreement.
Among other information, the Adviser and Logan Circle provided information to assist the Independent Trustees in assessing the nature, extent and quality of services to be provided, information comparing the investment performance, advisory fees and operating expense ratio of the Fund to other funds, information about estimated profitability and/or financial condition and compliance and regulatory matters. The Board determined that, given the totality of the information provided with respect to the Sub-Advisory Agreement, the Board had received sufficient information to approve the Sub-Advisory Agreement.
Based upon its review, the Board concluded that it was in the best interests of the Fund that the Sub-Advisory Agreement be approved. In considering the approval of the Sub-Advisory Agreement, the Board did not identify any single factor or group of factors as all-important or controlling, and considered a variety of factors in its analysis, including those discussed below. The Board did not allot a particular weight to any one factor or group of factors:
Nature, Extent and Quality of Services. In considering the approval of the Sub-Advisory Agreement, the Board considered the nature, extent and quality of services Logan Circle would provide under the Sub-Advisory Agreement. The Board reviewed the services Logan Circle would provide, the background of the investment professionals that would service the Fund, and Logan Circle’s reputation, resources and investment approach. The Board also reviewed information provided regarding the structure of portfolio manager compensation, trading and brokerage practices, soft dollar usage, risk management and compliance matters.
The Board reviewed the nature of Logan Circle’s operations and the experience of its key professional personnel in managing a long-short credit strategy. The Board reviewed Logan Circle’s methodology, research and analysis for selecting investments. The Board considered the various methods utilized by Logan Circle to seek to generate consistent returns and for managing risk. The Board also noted that Logan Circle is a MetLife affiliate and considered that Logan Circle has thorough compliance policies and procedures and a comprehensive compliance program. The Board concluded that Logan Circle had the experience and resources necessary for managing the Fund.
Performance. With respect to performance, the Board reviewed performance information of a composite of accounts constructed by Logan Circle with a strategy similar to the Fund’s strategy
120
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION (Unaudited) (Continued) |
over various time periods as compared to that of the average of a peer group within the Morningstar Long-Short Credit Category (the “Peer Group”). The Board noted that the composite managed by Logan Circle generally outperformed the Peer Group for nearly all the time periods presented. The Board concluded that Logan’s Circle’s investment performance for the Fund should be satisfactory.
Sub-Advisory Fees and Economies of Scale. The Board considered the Fund’s sub-advisory fee schedule and noted the fees charged to comparable portfolios, if any, that the sub-adviser managed. The Board considered that the fee schedule was negotiated between the Adviser and Logan Circle, an unaffiliated third party.
The Board noted that the Fund will pay Logan Circle a fulcrum fee rate consisting of a base fee of 0.60% annually and a performance fee component at a rate that will vary by +/- 0.55% of the Fund’s average daily net asset value depending upon the performance of the Fund’s Class N shares as compared to the benchmark index for a range of 0.05% to 1.15%. The Board took into account that the minimum fee rate of 0.05% is low and that at the maximum level, which Logan Circle would only earn if the Fund performed well, 1.15% to be charged to the Fund was lower than fees charged to other accounts managed by Logan Circle.
The Board concluded that the sub-advisory fee schedule was a reasonable fee rate, which they found appropriate to reward or penalize outperformance or underperformance, respectively. The Board also took into account that the Fund pays the Adviser a fixed fee of 0.65% of daily net assets and noted that the various duties of the Adviser and Logan Circle were not duplicative.
The Board next considered the relevance of economies of scale in the context of Logan Circle receiving a performance based fee. The Board considered the sub-advisory fee schedule, and concluded that reductions based on asset growth, when coupled with the possibility of fee reductions based on poor performance, implementing breakpoints with Logan Circle would not be in the best interests of Fund shareholders at this time.
Profitability and Fallout Benefits. The Board considered information provided regarding Logan Circle’s estimated profitability from providing sub-advisory services to the Fund. The Board noted that the sub-advisory fee schedule was negotiated between the Adviser and Logan Circle, an unaffiliated third party. The Board reviewed materials provided as to any additional benefits Logan Circle may receive.
Conclusion. Based on all of the information considered and the conclusions reached, the Board determined that the terms of the Sub-Advisory Agreement for the Fund are fair and reasonable, and that the approval of the Sub-Advisory Agreement is in the best interests of the Fund.

DUNHAM FUNDS’ EXPENSES (Unaudited) |
Example
Shareholders of mutual funds will pay (1) transitional costs, such as sales load, and (2) 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.
