Dear Fellow Shareholders:
Remember your life pre-virus? Considering what our life was like before the coronavirus changed so much seems akin to traveling back to another age in civilization. Before the pandemic permeated every facet of our lives, corporate strength and economic prowess were in the fovea of most investors and economists, not the efficacy of various vaccines. While scrutinized intensely, corporate earnings were generally positive and the first phase of a trade deal with China had been signed. However, from beyond the periphery, the virus that had at first appeared innocuous when considered from a global perspective, suddenly and with impartiality impacted every citizen of the world. Markets were celebrating new all-time highs in mid-February before the self-induced shutdown, followed-up by investor panic, culminated into a decline in the S&P 500 of more than 33 percent in 33 days. Despite the invention and implementation of circuit breakers for the markets, the evacuation from equities eerily resembled the 1987 turmoil from which the constraints were birthed. In the 50 days following the peak, the S&P 500 fluctuated 24 times outside of a 3 percent trading band. There were 9 days where the S&P 500 experienced a swing greater than 5 percent. For perspective, in the 10-year period leading up to the February 19 market high, there were only 12 days (out of 2,516 trading days) that the S&P 500 moved more than 3 percent - and zero days that saw a move greater than 5 percent, let alone a circuit breaker tripped.
Market casualties appeared to pile rapidly, and similar to the virus, the sell-off was predominately indiscriminate. Foreign equities (both developed markets and emerging) and bonds (both investment-grade and high-yield) joined in the maelstrom that brought the world into the depths of a bear market. A two-week period in March marked the pinnacle of the pandemonium – particularly between March 6 and March 20. During this two-week period, bonds rated AAA and high-yield bonds dropped 16 percent and 17 percent, respectively. Although many U.S. Treasury bonds survived the Global Financial Crisis unscathed, the BofA Merrill Lynch 10-Year Treasury Bond Index posted a decline of 2 percent and the BofA Merrill Lynch 30-Year Treasury Bond Index a fall of 7 percent amidst March’s madness. Foreign equity markets saw the stocks of developed countries decline more than emerging markets, as developed market stocks fell 23 percent and emerging markets stocks toppled 21 percent. The synchronicity of the declines across the broad spectrum of asset classes evidenced the investor panic to escape to the exits with little regard to price, value, or quality – unproductively selling what they could, not what they wanted to sell.
Although parallels to previous markets may be identified in the decline, the response from central banks during the calamity was hearty and fast, sending a direct message of urgency and support. Central banks had clearly learned from the Global Financial Crisis that an impaired liquidity chain would exacerbate losses and hinder any recovery. Therefore, the Federal Open Market Committee quickly slashed interest rates to zero (the Fed Funds Rate stood at 150 basis points before March) and broadcasted that trillions would be spent (borrowed from our children and grandchildren) to support liquidity in the bond markets. Essentially, the key components that were implemented over the course of months and years during and after the Global Financial Crisis were deployed in just a couple of weeks.
Of course, no pandemic that leads to a global shutdown is exciting enough on its own – an oil price-war between Russia and Saudi Arabia compounded with the sudden disappearance of demand for oil (as sheltering in place obliterated fuel-based travel). This led to records being broken and unchartered territory suddenly unveiled as oil futures contracts not only traded at $0, but proceeded to slide deeply negative as participants who never had any intention (nor storage capacity) of taking delivery of the barrels scrambled to dump millions of barrels of oil contracts before maturity. While suburban households whimsically contemplated how many barrels they could store in their swimming pools, the drillers, frackers, refiners, and all entities up and down the supply chain reassessed their businesses amidst a seemingly impossible reality. From February 19 through March 23, the S&P 500 Energy Sector Index had spilled nearly 56 percent.
Such a storyboard, with each pane depicting a similar if not more gruesome image than the one before it, cannot coalesce to a pleasing tale. However, the overall conclusion of the fiscal period dramatically improved the results. Globally, as numerous countries announced reopening plans and light could be seen at the end of a long tunnel, the markets broadly roared back and some equity markets achieved their best April performance on record. Therefore, as investors examine this semi-annual period as a whole, the beginning-to-end percentage declines obscure the pitfall in the center. Specifically, the 3.2 percent overall decline in the S&P 500 nor the 13.2 percent decline in the MSCI All Country World ex U.S. Index appear anywhere near as dire as the story would suggest. In addition, there have been pockets of strength uncovered in the erosion, with the chaotic work-from-home environment rewarding many technology-oriented businesses. Many other companies have restructured balance sheets and some have sought to pay down debts. Another silver lining includes the extremely low interest rates and the related impact on broad borrowing rates, which has allowed many struggling businesses to effectively “buy time” to weather this storm at remarkably low financing rates. Nonetheless, most investors are looking ahead to a better conclusion that will be told in the months and quarters to come.
As I have personally invested alongside many of you during both calm and turbulent markets, such as the one we are weathering today, I am confident that we at Dunham have the tools and the discipline to navigate through this storm. While the specific attributes of this particular market environment may be unique, you can rely on us to continue to apply a rational and unemotional approach.
We thank you for your continued trust and the confidence you have placed in us. We take that trust very seriously. We look forward to servicing the investment needs for you and your family for generations to come.
Sincerely,

Message from the Sub-Adviser (Newfleet Asset Management, LLC) |
Asset Class Recap
Since the beginning of the fiscal year through the beginning of March, broad U.S. investment-grade bonds, as measured by the Barclays U.S. Aggregate Bond Index, had experienced a fairly steady increase. This was primarily promoted by an accommodative and reassuring Federal Open Market Committee, low default rates, and a strong economic backdrop. As the virus reached pandemic status and investors around the globe panicked into a rampant selling spree, nearly every asset class saw declines during the most negative two- week period in March that spanned from March 6 through March 20. Within the fixed income markets, that two- week period left little unscathed as broad U.S. investment-grade bonds fell 5.4 percent. Within that investment-grade basket, Treasury and government agency bonds, as measured by the BofA Merrill Lynch U.S. Treasury & Agency Index, declined 1.5 percent, while U.S. corporate bonds, as measured by the BofA Merrill Lynch U.S. Corporate Index, plummeted 15.1 percent. Outside of the investment-grade bond market, high- yield bonds, as measured by the BofA Merrill Lynch U.S. Cash Pay High-Yield Index, declined 17.1 percent, within close earshot to their investment-grade corporate bond counterparts, signaling that sellers were showing little regard to credit quality. When assessing the entire six-month period, broad U.S. investment-grade bonds posted a positive 4.9 percent return, which was primarily attributable to the 8.1 percent gain in Treasury and government agency bonds. U.S. investment-grade corporate bonds were slightly positive, up 1.5 percent, while high- yield bonds remained in negative territory, down 7.6 percent. The Treasury and government agency bonds, which tended to have longer durations, were greatly benefitted by the Fed’s actions in March where it decreased interest rates by 150 basis points and committed trillions of dollars to backstop liquidity markets, massively buoying the highly-interest-rate-sensitive Treasuries and agency securities.
Allocation Review
Broad U.S. investment-grade bonds in the benchmark index have more than 90 percent allocated to Treasury and government agency bonds and U.S. investment-grade corporate bonds. During the semi-annual period, the Fund maintained a similar exposure as the benchmark index to U.S. investment-grade corporate bonds, as it had an approximate 24 percent allocation. As this was one of the less negative bond sectors during the six-month period, the weighting neither detracted nor contributed toward relative returns. However, the Fund’s significant underweight to Treasury and government agency bonds, which comprise more than 40 percent of the benchmark index, significantly detracted from relative performance, as the Fund held less than a third of the benchmark index’s 70 percent allocation to these bond sectors. Therefore, where the Fund was most overweight versus the benchmark index was in residential mortgage-backed securities, corporate high- yield bonds, and asset-backed securities. While all three of these asset classes suffered negative performance in the Fund during the six-month period, the worst-performing was the high-yield bond exposure, albeit the total allocation in the Fund to high-yield bonds was less than 10 percent. The Fund did not have any exposure to derivatives during the semi-annual period that meaningfully affected performance.
Holdings Insights
As the investment-grade corporate bond exposure in the Fund was similar to the benchmark index, the security selection within the sector generally lagged during the six-month period. For example, one of the holdings that was directly in the crossfire of industries most affected by the global shutdown was Aviation Capital Group LLC. The Fund held the bond maturing in 2027 (05369AAA9) (holding weight*: 0.30 percent). Aviation Capital Group is an aircraft lessor, and with the coronavirus effectively shutting down the air travel industry, many investors expect that airlines, Aviation Capital Group’s primary customers, will seek lease deferrals and in some cases file for bankruptcy. This sentiment resulted in the sell-off of these bonds, as they declined 25.7 percent since the start of the fiscal year through April.
Despite the high-yield bond sector exhibiting some of the worst overall performance during the broad bond sell-off in March, some of the Fund’s holdings held up rather well. For example, the Fund held the Par Pharmaceutical, Inc. bond maturing in 2027 (69888XAA7) (holding weight*: 0.10 percent). After the company posted strong fourth quarter results, Par Pharmaceutical’s ties to the generic drug industry cause it to be minimally impacted by the COVID-19 crisis. During the six-month period, the Par Pharmaceutical bond increased 10.0 percent. Not faring quite as well within the high-yield bond space was the Fund’s holding in the Patterson UTI Energy Inc. bond maturing in 2029 (703481AC5) (holding weight*: 0.11 percent). Patterson UTI provides contract drilling and pressure pumping services to domestic companies. Demand for both services has plummeted with the decline in oil prices (pressure pumping declining more rapidly than the more publicized rig count due to shorter contracts) and while the company benefits from what the Sub- Adviser considers as a favorable liquidity position, the bonds traded down 35.7 percent in the second fiscal quarter given the poor industry outlook.
The Fund also held some municipal bonds, including a taxable municipal bond, the Texas State municipal bond maturing in 2044 (882724QP5) (holding weight*: 1.27 percent). As the long-maturity on the bond generally translated to higher interest-rate sensitivity, the extreme drop in long-term Treasury yields greatly benefitted this bond, as it increased 6.8 percent since it was purchased in November. The Fund also held some foreign bonds, including the Petroleos Mexicanos SA bond maturing in 2050 (71654QCW0) (holding weight*: 0.15 percent). Petroleos Mexicanos (aka Pemex) was impacted mainly by the sharp drop in oil prices which is estimated to result in a $15 to $20 billion funding gap in 2020. While the Sub- Adviser expects the Mexican government will ultimately step in and provide adequate support, there has been no comprehensive plan announced at this juncture. The Pemex bonds declined 29.6 percent during the six-month period.
Sub-Adviser Outlook
While nearly all technical indicators that the Sub- Adviser follows are negative across most of the bond sectors, the Sub-Adviser believes that valuations are highly attractive in many of those same sectors. While fundamentals have been shaken and may be tested further, the Sub- Adviser is optimistic that there are many opportunities that have been exposed during the recent sell-off. Therefore, the Sub-Adviser is confident that bond sector positioning and security selection will become increasingly more relevant in the months and quarters ahead.

Message from the Sub-Adviser (Newfleet Asset Management, LLC) |
Asset Class Recap
Since the start of the fiscal year, the 10-year U.S. Treasury yield has been in a general decline. After declining 17 basis points during the first fiscal quarter, the Fed’s actions in the second fiscal quarter to help maintain liquidity and support the economy amidst the virus-caused shutdowns saw the yield plummet another 90 basis points. Therefore, the already weakened demand for instruments such as bank loans did not receive any new tailwinds. Traditional high- yield bonds, as measured by the BofA Merrill Lynch High- Yield Bond Index, decreased 7.6 percent during the six-month period, and bank loans, as measured by the Credit Suisse Leveraged Loan Index, decreased 7.5 percent. As high- yield bonds saw yields surge 201 basis points, 3-month LIBOR dropped 134 basis points, impacting the overall yield offered in bank loans. Therefore, the semi-annual period ended with bank loans yielding 55 basis points less than traditional high- yield bonds, slightly wider than at the beginning of the fiscal year despite having a nearly identical return.
Portfolio Review
The Sub- Adviser has consistently maintained a slightly more defensive stance relative to the benchmark index, which generally benefitted the Fund on a relative basis heading into the most dire days and weeks of the crisis. This same positioning generally detracted during April’s rally, as the lowest credit quality loans generally outpaced higher-rated loans. The Fund had an overweight position in the auto industry, as well as gaming and leisure, which were initial drags on the Fund in the heat of the crisis. These industry-level overweights relative to the benchmark index were partially offset by underweights to the energy and retail industries. Despite the strong rally in the energy industry as well as lower-rated bank loans, the Sub-Adviser is cautious about what it believes will be an aggressive downgrade schedule. Specifically, it believes that the primary credit rating agencies will seek to make downgrades more quickly, so as to avoid some of the criticism they received during the Global Financial Crisis when downgrades appeared to be slow despite crumbling fundamentals. The average duration of the bank loans in the Fund ended April at 0.44 years, which is slightly higher than the 0.35 years at the beginning of the fiscal year. The Fund did not have any exposure to derivatives during the six-month period that meaningfully affected performance.
Holdings Insights
During the semi-annual period, very few holdings in the Fund that were held since the start of the fiscal year experienced positive returns. Those positive performing holdings included the One Call Corp. bond maturing in 2024 (682322AE2) (holding weight*: 0.32 percent), a health care services provider, and the Bausch Health Companies Inc. bond maturing in 2025 (91911KAN2) (holding weight*: 0.28 percent), a drug developer primarily focused on central nervous system disorders and gastrointestinal diseases. During the six-month period, the One Call Corp. bond and the Bausch Health bond, returned 1.1 percent and 2.1 percent, respectively. Although it was not positive across the entire six-month period, the bank loan of TKC Holdings Inc. (BL2726547) (holding weight*: 0.38 percent), a food and personal care products provider, declined only 2.6 percent. TKC Holdings was also one of the few positive bank loan performers in the second fiscal quarter, as its increased 0.1 percent during the three- month period. While not unscathed during the tumultuous months of February and March, these holdings appreciated primarily due to their respective industry exposures and corresponding lack of impact directly from the virus and related global shutdown. For example, One Call Corp. and Bausch Health were in the less affected segments of the healthcare and pharmaceutical industries, while TKC Holdings’ food distribution was in high demand throughout the shutdown.
As the vast majority of bank loans were adversely affected during the broad declines experienced in the latter months of the semi-annual period, some of the largest holdings that the Sub-Adviser retained despite the steep decline in March included the Charter Communications bank loan maturing in 2027 (BL3196914) (holding weight*: 1.29 percent), a cable broadcasting and internet services provider, the Ineos U.S. Finance LLC bank loan maturing in 2024 (BL2552414) (holding weight*: 1.30 percent), a chemical manufacturer, and the Kronos, Inc. bank loan maturing in 2023 (BL2654699) (holding weight*: 1.30 percent), a workforce management solutions provider. During the six-month period, including the months when most of the carnage was experienced, the Charter Communications, Ineos U.S. Finance, and Kronos bank loan prices depreciated 4.0 percent, 4.2 percent, and 2.9 percent, respectively. While not necessarily the largest positions, two of the greatest overall detractors from performance, when considering both holding size in the Fund as well as the magnitude of the decline, during the semi-annual period were the Univision Communications Inc. bank loan maturing in 2024 (BL2380501) (holding weight*: 1.18 percent), a Spanish language broadcasting company, and the Golden Nugget LLC bank loan maturing in 2023 (BL3294289) (holding weight*: 0.71 percent), a casino owner/operator. Since the start of the fiscal year, the Univision Communications bank loan depreciated 8.6 percent while the Golden Nugget LLC bank loan declined 18.5 percent since it was purchased at the end of January.
During the broad sell-off, the Sub-Adviser added new holdings as it attempted to reduce the exposures to holdings it believed were less likely to recover from the global shutdown. Some of the larger holdings that were added to the Fund included the AlixPartners LLP. bank loan maturing in 2024 (BL3287630) (holding weight*: 0.70 percent), a financial advisory and global consulting firm, the T-Mobile USA Inc. bank loan maturing in 2027 (BL2694554) (holding weight*: 0.67 percent), one of the four national wireless carries in the United States, and the SS&C Technologies, Inc. bank loan maturing in 2025 (BL3291848) (holding weight*: 0.60 percent), a financial software solutions developer.
Sub-Adviser Outlook
At the beginning of the fiscal year, the Sub-Adviser believed that default rates may continue to inch upward during 2020, but given the effects of the shutdown, the Sub-Adviser anticipates the rate of defaults to spike. As some companies have already missed payments, the Sub-Adviser is cautious about being lured into depressed bank loan prices where a recovery or rebound may have an even lower chance of coming to fruition. Therefore, the Sub-Adviser has been more selective in the individual issuers that it considers for holdings within the Fund. This approach of being cautious and selective is not a new mantra for the Sub-Adviser.

The Credit Suisse Leveraged Loan Total Return Index tracks the investable market of the U.S. dollar denominated leveraged loan market. It consists of issues rated “5B” or lower, meaning that the highest rated issues included in this index are Moody’s/S&P ratings of Baa1/BB+ or Ba1/BBB+. All loans are funded term loans with a tenor of at least one year and are made by issuers domiciled in developed countries.
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 1.02% for Class N, 1.77% for Class C and 1.27% 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.

Message from the Sub-Adviser (PineBridge Investments LLC) |
Asset Class Recap
High-yield spreads continued to rally through the majority of the first fiscal quarter as the U.S. and China trade negotiations became more constructive and eventually led to the signing of the phase one trade deal. Economic data also improved and investors took the earnings season in stride. However, the outbreak of the coronavirus during the final weeks of the first fiscal quarter reversed the trend as investors attempted to root out the true economic impact of the outbreak. To begin the second fiscal quarter, investors seemed to shrug off concerns of a meaningful economic impact caused by the pandemic, but sentiment drastically shifted, leading to a sell-off in high-yield bonds. The selloff continued in March as high-yield bond spreads traded at levels not seen since the 2008-2009 Global Financial Crisis. As a result of the outbreak, governments across the globe established containment measures and shut down the bulk of their economy. High-Yield bonds sharply recovered in April in response to unprecedented monetary and fiscal actions taken to combat the adverse economic effects of the shutdowns. The yield on the 10- year U.S. Treasury rose 23 basis points to begin the fiscal year but fell 42 basis points in January to their lowest levels since early September. In the second fiscal quarter, the 10- year U.S. Treasury continued its descent, falling 105 basis points to 0.64 percent at the end of April. High-yield bonds, as measured by the ICE BofA ML US Cash Pay High- Yield Index, declined 4.8 percent over the six-month period ended April 30, 2020.
Allocation Review
In the first fiscal quarter, security selection strongly contributed to Fund performance, more than making up for the slight detraction from sector allocation. Conversely, security selection detracted from Fund performance in the second fiscal quarter ended April 30, 2020, with sector allocation providing a small positive contribution. Over both fiscal quarters, the strongest contributor to positive Fund performance was credit selection within the consumer cyclical sector, while the credit selection in the communications sector detracted. From a sector allocation standpoint, the largest contributor to Fund performance in the second fiscal quarter was the allocation to cash, but in the first fiscal quarter, this exposure was the largest detractor from Fund performance. The Fund’s allocation to the REIT sector significantly detracted over the six-month period. On the other hand, the overweight allocation to technology companies contributed to Fund performance over the same time period.
Holdings Insights
The largest contributor to positive Fund performance came from the communications sector. After decreasing 1.9 percent in the first fiscal quarter of the year, Sprint Corp. 7.875% 9/15/2023 (85207UAF2) (holding weight**: 2.58 percent) rose 7.8 percent in the second fiscal quarter before being sold. This credit surged amid the announcement that the $26.5 billion merger with T-Mobile USA Inc. finally received approval after a nearly two-year wait. The T-Mobile USA Inc. 4.5 percent 4/15/2050 (87264AAY1) (holding weight*: 0.18 percent) also positively contributed to Fund performance by increasing 10.3 percent. Another credit from the communications sector that positively contributed to Fund performance was Netflix Inc. 4.875% 6/15/2030 (64110LAV8) (holding weight*: 1.42 percent). This credit rose 8.0 percent as the company received 16 million new subscribers amid the stay-at-home orders issued during the coronavirus pandemic.
Amid the volatility in the price of oil and corresponding weakness in the energy space, the Fund was underweight the energy sector. This positioning adversely affected the Fund during the first fiscal quarter as this sector rebounded from a torrid 2019, but positively contributed in the second fiscal quarter as oil prices plummeted. The largest detractor from Fund performance came from this sector. Callon Petroleum Co. 6.375% 7/1/2026 (13123XAZ5) (holding weight*: 0.15 percent), an independent oil and natural gas company, fell 75 percent in the six-month period. Another energy credit that detracted from positive performance was Nine Energy Service Inc. 8.75% 11/01/2023 (65441VAA9) (holding weight*: 0.03 percent). The Sub-Adviser believes this company has a competitive advantage over peers given that it has numerous patents that set them apart, including innovative offerings such as a dissolvable frac plug and casing flotation tools. A position within the energy sector that contributed to Fund performance was Southwestern Energy Co. 7.5% 4/1/2026 (845467AM1) (holding weight*: 0.27 percent), a natural gas exploration and production company. This credit increased 18.5 percent over the six-month period.
Sub- Adviser Outlook
High-yield bond spreads rallied sharply to close the six-month period, but the Sub-Adviser believes that the economic reports are just beginning to show the broad evidence of the damage inflicted on the economy by the pandemic and subsequent economic shutdown. Retail sales and industrial production posted record declines in months that were only partially affected by the pandemic. April’s report, with the economy shut down for the whole month, is expected to be meaningfully worse. Default rate expectations have increased meaningfully for 2020, largely due to the weakened energy sector. With that being said, the Sub-Adviser believes that default rates will come in lower than what current spread levels are indicating, given the unparalleled measures taken by the Federal Reserve and Congress. High-yield bonds are expected to benefit most from the Fed’s program including fallen angels and ETFs. The Sub-Adviser is cautiously optimistic for the remainder of 2020. The Fund has retained its defensive bias but has begun to add risk opportunistically back into the Fund, albeit attempting to maintain less risky exposures than the benchmark.

Asset Class Recap
Global bond yields rose and prices fell for the first two months of the fiscal year. Rising expectations of a phase one trade deal contributed to investor optimism resulting in fixed income spread sector strength. Global economic data saw improvements, relative to expectations, over the period. In January, global bond yields fell and prices rose as investors sought lower risk assets amid the outbreak of the coronavirus in China and its potential impact on the global economy. Coronavirus cases and deaths surged in the second fiscal quarter, followed by the World Health Organization officially labeling the virus outbreak a pandemic. In response, global economies shut down, volatility spiked, and rates plummeted. Despite dire economic data, volatility subsided and markets rallied in April amid unprecedented fiscal and monetary stimulus as well as hopes that the world is through the worst of the pandemic. Foreign bonds, as measured by the Bloomberg Barclays Global Aggregate Bond ex-US Index Hedged, increased 1.4 percent during the six-month period, which outperformed emerging market bonds, as measured by the JP Morgan EMBI Global Total Return Index, which declined 8.3 percent. Emerging market high-yield bonds, as measured by the JP Morgan Emerging Market High-Yield Bond Index, fared the worst, falling 13.0 percent.
Allocation Review
For the first two months of the fiscal year, the Sub- Adviser’s country allocation detracted from Fund performance. The Fund received negative contributions from developed markets, including exposures to peripheral Europe versus Germany. The exposure to local currency emerging markets also detracted, especially the underweight to Chinese bonds. However, the Fund’s exposure to hard currency emerging markets bonds, especially in Kazakhstan and Qatar, strongly contributed to Fund performance. To begin 2020, a new Sub-Adviser was appointed to the Fund, shifting the exposures of the underlying allocation. In the final month of the first fiscal quarter, the new Sub-Adviser increased the allocation to corporate bonds, emerging market bonds, and increased the currency exposure hedge. In the most recent fiscal quarter, both asset allocation and issue selection detracted from Fund performance. The allocation to emerging market and high-yield debt detracted from Fund performance while the Sub-Adviser’s duration management and currency exposure positively contributed to Fund performance. At the close of the six-month period, the Fund’s allocation ended with 47 percent allocated to high-yield bonds and 53 percent allocated to investment-grade bonds. From a market perspective, 56 percent was allocated to developed markets, while 44 percent was allocated to emerging market bonds. Within emerging markets, 58 percent was dedicated to corporates, 30 percent allocated to hard currency government bonds, and 12 percent to local currency government bonds.
Holdings Insights
Emerging markets hard currency debt provided a strong contribution to Fund performance in the first fiscal quarter but detracted from Fund performance in the second fiscal quarter. For example, the Republic of Kazakhstan 5.125% 7/21/2025 (Y7276LDE5) (holding weight**: 0.52 percent) and the Qatar Government International bond 4.0% (74727PBA8) (holding weight**: 0.89 percent) increased 2.6 percent and 2.0 percent, respectively, before being sold from the Fund late in the first fiscal quarter. Emerging markets hard currency bonds that detracted from Fund performance in the fiscal six-month period were the Indonesia Government 7% 5/15/2027 (B3ZR76Z) (holding weight*: 0.56 percent) and the Egypt Government International Bond 6.375% (BJJNTR2) (holding weight*: 0.56 percent). These U.S. dollar-denominated issues declined 2.7 percent and 16.9 percent, respectively. A local currency emerging market bond that positively contributed to Fund performance over the fiscal six-month period was the Russian Government Bond 6.9% 5/23/2029 (BFX1TW9) (holding weight*: 1.06 percent). This credit rose 10.7 percent in the fiscal six-month period.
Amid the spike in volatility, higher-grade credit generally outperformed. The Fund received a positive contribution from the Canadian Government 2.25% 6/1/2029 (BYQLD27) (holding weight*: 1.38 percent). This credit rose 6.7 percent amid the market selloff in the second fiscal quarter and 8.6 percent in the fiscal six-month period. Another investment-grade bond that contributed to Fund performance was the Czech Republic Government Bond 0.95% 5/15/2030 (BYN6FX0) (holding weight*: 0.25 percent), which increased 4.0 percent since being added to the Fund in January. Overall, the derivative exposure within the Fund had a relatively muted impact on Fund performance over the first two months of the fiscal quarter, however, the currency hedge implemented in January assisted in reducing currency volatility. Over the second fiscal quarter, as the U.S. dollar appreciated versus most major currencies across the globe, the currency hedge implemented through derivatives positively contributed to Fund performance.
Sub-Adviser Outlook
The Sub-Adviser is optimistic for the remainder of 2020 and beyond. The Sub- Adviser believes that by identifying individual opportunities through their rigorous fundamental credit analysis as well as retaining the ability to actively shift between asset classes and within individual sectors, will allow the Fund to take advantage of opportunities that emerge.

Dunham Large Cap Value Fund (Unaudited) |
Message from the Sub-Adviser (Rothschild & Co. Asset Management US Inc.) |
|
Asset Class Recap
As the first fiscal quarter ended with the virus outbreak in China causing a moderate equity decline in the latter half of January, markets generally rebounded and struck new highs through the middle of February. However, as the breadth of the virus grew exponentially, affecting every major economy in the world, markets crumbled. As U.S. equities in general, as measured by the S&P 500 Index, rose 6.7 percent in the first fiscal quarter, the 9.3 percent decline in the second fiscal quarter brought the overall performance for the 6-month period deep into the red. Large cap stocks, as measured by the Russell 1000 Index, had led the way in the first fiscal quarter, increasing 6.9 percent, but in the second fiscal quarter they declined 9.8 percent, maintaining a lead over their small cap counterparts. As has been the case through much of the bull market and now in the bear market, growth continued to outperform value. The large cap value stocks, as measured by the Russell 1000 Value Index, declined 16.7 percent during the second fiscal quarter while large cap growth stocks, as measured by the Russell 1000 Growth Index, declined 3.5 percent. This further exacerbated the outperformance of growth over value since the start of the fiscal year, as large cap value stocks returned a negative 13.6 percent versus large cap growth’s 6.1 percent increase.
Allocation Review
Perhaps one of the primary drivers of the underperformance of value versus growth is the significantly higher weighting of the financial services and energy sectors, two of the hardest hit sectors during the first half of the fiscal year, in the large cap value benchmark index as opposed to those sector weights in the large cap growth index. Comprising close to 29 percent of the index, the financial services sector is the largest large cap value sector. As interest rates plummeted, the banking industry’s margins also compressed. The energy sector, which does not even comprise one percent of the large cap growth space, represents close to 7 percent of the large cap value market. Therefore, its 30.9 percent decline during the six-month period marked the largest sector decline and the second- largest overall detractor from returns. The financial services sector fell 22.6 percent during the same time period, which awarded it the place of second- worst performer and the overall largest detractor from absolute returns once allocation percentage was considered. The Fund was slightly underweight both of these sectors during the six-month fiscal period, benefitting the Fund on a relative basis. In addition, the Fund was overweight the health care, technology, materials and processing, and utilities sectors, which were four of the five best-performing sectors during the first half of the fiscal year. The health care and technology sectors were the only sectors that had a positive return during the six-month period, increasing 8.1 percent and 0.8 percent, respectively.
Holdings Insights
Since many sector weights were similar to the benchmark index, most within a two percent margin, the stock selection within each of those sectors drove the majority of the relative returns. For example, in the financial services sector, the Fund’s outperformance of the sector by more than three percent was primarily driven by holdings such as Prologis Inc. (PLD) (holding weight*: 1.72 percent), an industrial real estate investment trust that specializes in warehouse and distribution centers. The Fund also held Intercontinental Exchange Inc. (ICE) (holding weight*: 1.40 percent), a global commodity and financial products marketplace, and The Travelers Companies Inc. (TRV) (holding weight*: 0.73 percent), a commercial and personal property and casualty insurance provider. From the beginning of the fiscal year through April, PLD increased 3.1 percent, while ICE and TRV declined 4.5 percent and 21.8 percent, respectively. While PLD was only moderately positive and ICE was modestly negative, this performance was significantly higher than the sector as a whole and were some of the primary drivers behind the Fund’s outperformance within the financial services space. One of the largest holdings in the same sector was Bank of America Corp. (BAC) (holding weight*: 2.99 percent), one of the world’s largest banks. BAC performed much more similar to the sector as a whole as well as ICE, declining 22.2 percent over the same six-month time period.
As the second-largest sector in the large cap value space, and the best-performing sector during the six-month period, the health care sector produced some of the strongest performers in the Fund. One such holding was Gilead Sciences Inc. (GILD) (holding weight**: 0.51 percent), a research- based biopharmaceutical company. GILD was consistently making headlines during much of the second fiscal quarter regarding the efficacy of a drug it had developed to potentially reduce the duration and severity of the virus’ symptoms. As positive developments emerged, GILD surged 34.2 percent during the second fiscal quarter, ending the six-month period up 34.4 percent. While other Fund holdings in the health care sector were not near as fortunate in regard to returns, Johnson & Johnson (JNJ) (holding weight*: 2.32 percent), a diversified health care company, and Thermo Fisher Scientific, Inc. (TMO) (holding weight*: 1.67 percent), a scientific instrument manufacturer, each landed in positive territory as they increased 15.2 percent and 11.0 percent, respectively. Only three Fund holdings reflected six-month overall declines in the health care sector, Medtronics PLC (MDT) (holding weight*: 2.49 percent), a developer of therapeutic and diagnostic medical products, Biogen Inc. (BIIB) (holding weight*: 0.33 percent), a biotechnology company that develops therapies for the treatment of neurological diseases, and Merck & Co. Inc. (MRK) (holding weight*: 1.50 percent), a global health care company. During the semi-annual period, MDT, BIIB, and MRK declined 9.4 percent, 0.6 percent, and 7.1 percent, respectively.
Stock selection within the energy sector was treacherous, as all Fund holdings in the sector declined, with most declining 20 percent or worse. The largest energy holding in the Fund, Chevron Corp. (CVX) (holding weight*: 2.04 percent), an integrated energy company, was also the Fund’s best performer in the sector during the fiscal semi-annual period. During the six-month period, CVX declined 19.1 percent, greatly outperforming its average peer in the energy sector. However, most other energy holdings in the Fund performed much more similar to the sector as a whole. For example, ConocoPhillips Company (COP) (holding weight*: 1.04 percent), one of the world’s largest exploration companies, and EOG Resources, Inc. (EOG) (holding weight*: 0.76 percent), a shale-based oil and natural gas prospector, declined 23.2 percent and 30.6 percent, respectively. Most energy names suffered as the rout in oil prices stressed companies along every level of the supply chain.
Sub-Adviser Outlook
The Sub-Adviser continues to seek what it believes are quality stocks of companies that possess the means to navigate and survive these trying times. Specifically, the Sub-Adviser is not seeking to isolate these holdings to only a few sectors, but instead searching within each sector and maintaining diversification similar to the benchmark index. Therefore, it expects the Fund’s performance to continue to be primarily dictated by stock selection as opposed to macro-oriented sector views.

The Russell 1000 Value Index is a subset of the Russell 1000 Index which measures the performance of the stocks of the 1000 largest companies in the Russell 3000 Index based on market capitalization. The Russell 1000 Value Index measures the performance of those Russell 1000 companies with lower price-to-book ratios and lower forecasted growth values. Investors cannot invest directly in an index or benchmark.
The Morningstar Large Cap Value Category is generally representative of mutual funds that primarily invest in big (large capitalization) U.S. companies that are less expensive or growing more slowly than other large-cap stocks.
As disclosed in the Trust’s latest registration statement, the Fund’s total annual operating expenses, including underlying funds, are 1.14% for Class N, 2.14% for Class C and 1.39% 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 Small Cap Value Fund (Unaudited) |
Message from the Sub-Adviser (Ziegler Capital Management, LLC) |
|
Asset Class Recap
Small cap value stocks, as measured by the Russell 2000 Value Index, experienced a tumultuous decline during the most severe market declines in March, bringing the performance over the fiscal quarter to a staggering negative 23.6 percent. This decline came on the heels of barely eking out a positive 0.2 percent return in the first fiscal quarter. Therefore, small cap value stocks fell tremendously behind all other U.S. equity counterparts since the start of the most recent fiscal year. The next closest U.S. asset class was large cap value, as measured by the Russell 1000 Value Index, which was down 13.7 percent, nearly 10 percent ahead of the cumulative 23.5 percent decline posted by small cap value stocks. During both the first and second fiscal quarters, the losses in small cap value stocks were fairly widespread and were dominated by similar factors, including risk-off trading and concerns regarding how a prolonged low interest rate environment may impair one of the largest small cap value sectors, financial services. The additional pressure provided by the global shutdown greatly exacerbated these issues and concerns.
Allocation Review
Although all sectors posted negative performance since the start of the fiscal year, there was a high amount of dispersion between the best and worst performing sectors. The strongest performing sectors during the six -month fiscal period were consumer staples, technology, and health care, which decreased 7.4 percent, 0.2 percent, and 1.3 percent, respectively. The combined weight of these three sectors was roughly 16 percent of the small cap value space, so their impact on overall performance was marginal. The most negatively performing sectors included energy, consumer discretionary, and financial services, which decreased 40.5 percent, 29.8 percent, and 28.6 percent, respectively. As these sectors combined accounted for more than half of small cap value stocks, their largely negative performance dominated the overall return of the space. While the benchmark index did not have any sectors ending the six-month period in positive territory, the Fund managed to see a positive return in the technology sector. However, the Fund’s positive overall performance in the sector was primarily attributable to a positive first fiscal quarter as opposed to a positive second fiscal quarter. In fact, the only sector that was positive in the Fund during the second fiscal quarter was the smallest sector, consumer staples. In the first fiscal quarter, this sector was the Fund’s worst performing sector, which declined more than 16 percent, so the second fiscal quarter’s increase of 9.4 percent helped to offset much of that relative detraction in the previous fiscal quarter. As the Sub-Adviser strives to maintain similar sector weights to the benchmark index, the Fund’s relative performance is primarily represented by the stock selection within each sector as opposed to sector overweights and underweights.
Holdings Insights
The energy sector proved to be the worst performing sector in the benchmark index and the Fund during the six-month period. The Fund only held a few holdings in the energy sector since the start of the fiscal year through the end of April, as the extreme disruptions in the space and corresponding decimation of some of the energy stocks resulted in the Sub-Adviser making adjustments to the Fund’s exposures. Energy holdings that were retained for the entire fiscal six-month period included Bonanza Creek Energy Inc. (BCEI) (holding weight*: 1.05 percent), an independent oil and natural gas company, Archrock Inc. (AROC) (holding weight*: 0.80 percent), a natural gas contract compression services company, and CVR Energy, Inc. (CVI) (holding weight*: 0.49 percent), a refiner and marketer of high value transportation fuels. While AROC and CVI declined relatively near the magnitude of the energy sector as a whole, plummeting 48.5 percent and 47.4 percent, respectively, BCEI managed to only fall 2.0 percent during the fiscal quarter. In the second fiscal quarter, when most of the devastation in the energy sector was experienced, BCEI’s stock price was afflicted similarly to its peers going into the market lows reached in March, but its rebound from mid-March through the end of the April exceeded 84 percent, regaining most of the losses.
The consumer discretionary and financial services sectors were also significant detractors from absolute returns over the six-month period, sparing very few Fund holdings during the onslaught. As unemployment rates surged and home purchases slowed while mortgage forbearance climbed, two Fund holdings found themselves in the epicenter. One was the largest consumer discretionary holding in the Fund, Taylor Morrison Home Corp. (TMHC) (holding weight*: 1.12 percent), a residential homebuilder, and the other was one of the largest financial services holdings in the Fund, Essent Group Ltd. (ESNT) (holding weight*: 0.67 percent), a residential property mortgage insurance and reinsurance company. From the start of the fiscal year through April, TMHC fell 41.9 percent while ESNT declined 47.2 percent. The largest Fund holding in the financial services sector, Rexford Industrial Realty Inc. (REXR) (holding weight*: 1.25 percent), a real estate investment trust focused on industrial properties in Southern California, was a relative contributor to Fund performance as it declined 14.5 percent, outpacing the sector by 14 percent. Similarly, the second-largest Fund holding in the consumer discretionary sector, Standard Motor Products, Inc. (SMP) (holding weight*: 0.96 percent), an automotive replacement parts manufacturer, declined 23.3 percent since it was added to the Fund in early January, detracting from absolute performance, but slightly contributing on a relative basis.
As it is the smallest sector in the benchmark index and the Fund, the consumer staples sector generally has little overall impact on relative or absolute performance for the Fund. However, it was the sole sector that the Fund managed to generate a positive return during the second fiscal quarter. While the sector declined 4.8 percent, the Sub-Adviser’s strong stock selection and active trading in the sector produced a positive 9.4 percent return. Of the six holdings that the Sub-Adviser traded amongst during the second fiscal quarter, five yielded a positive return during the period in which they were held in the fiscal quarter most impacted by the virus pandemic. The largest contributor to this return was SpartanNash Co. (SPTN) (holding weight**: 0.36 percent), a food wholesale and retail distribution provider. From when it was added to the Fund in early March until it was sold at the end of March, SPTN surged 41.4 percent as its operations that include distribution to both commercial businesses and military commissaries experienced a spike in a demand. This is an example of the Sub-Adviser’s strategy highlighting a holding for a short period of time amidst the turmoil experienced in the latter months of the semi-annual fiscal period.
Sub-Adviser Outlook
Despite the extreme dislocations, the Sub-Adviser continues to adhere to its implementation of its quantitatively-driven approach, focusing on what its industry-specific factors have identified as attractive opportunities. During the strong recovery in April, these factors broadly contributed to relative outperformance, bolstering the Sub-Adviser’s optimism that they will continue to outperform over meaningful long-term time periods. The Sub-Adviser believes that the current market continues to underappreciate some of the factors that the Sub-Adviser focuses on, and expects that its valuation-oriented signals will succeed as a positive contributor to its stock selection for the Fund.

Asset Class Recap
The excitement over robust holiday-spending, a de-escalating trade war, and strong earnings quickly evaporated and shifted to panic as the virus pandemic led to a global shutdown. Large cap growth stocks, as measured by the Russell 1000 Growth Index, had recently recorded a healthy 10.0 percent return in the first fiscal quarter. As the adverse effects of the shutdown appeared to eclipse the turmoil caused by the disease itself, stocks plummeted and large cap growth stocks similarly saw declines. During the second fiscal quarter, large cap growth stocks declined 3.5 percent. When considering the six-month period as a whole, the severity of the decline during February and March becomes slightly muted by the initial run-up until mid- February and the record-setting performance in April. Large cap growth stocks declined 31.5 percent from the February market high through the March low. However, the 31.7 percent bounce from the bottom in March and proceeding surge that extended through the end of April helped to shape the far less daunting return for the overall fiscal period. When the performance across all six months is considered from start to finish, large cap growth stocks were positive 6.1 percent since the start of the fiscal year.
Allocation Review
Within the large cap growth space, the best performing sector was technology, which is also the largest sector among large cap growth stocks, comprising approximately 40 percent of the benchmark index. Therefore, the 13 percent increase over the six-month period boasted by the technology sector had a meaningful impact on the large cap growth space as a whole. The second and third best performing sectors, consumer discretionary and health care, together account for more than 30 percent of the benchmark index. As these two sectors increased 10 percent and 9 percent, respectively, their sizable weight in the large cap growth space also translated to a significant impact. Therefore, as other moderate sector weights such as financial services and producer durables produced negative returns for the period, the 70 percent allocation to the top three performing sectors primarily drove returns. Although the energy sector was part of key headlines during much of the fiscal period, the energy sector within the large cap growth space is extremely small. Therefore, its 30 percent decline did earn the spot as the poorest performing sector, but its impact on the overall performance of large cap growth stocks was substantially muted due to its miniscule weighting. The second-worst performing sector, producer durables, declined 14.1 percent. Although the producer durables sector comprised close to 10 percent of the benchmark index, its weight in the Fund was represented by only one position at less than 2 percent of the Fund assets. As the four largest sectors account for 85 percent of the large cap growth space, the Fund also primarily had holdings exposure in the technology, financial services, health care, and consumer discretionary sectors.
Holdings Insights
The Sub-Adviser’s stock selection produced outperformance in all sectors where the Fund had exposure, with the exception of the producer durables sector. The Fund had a single holding representing that particular sector, TransDigm Group Inc. (TDG) (holding weight*: 1.09 percent), an aircraft component manufacturer. TDG plummeted 38.2 percent since it was purchased in early January through the end of April as companies affiliated with air travel sharply sold off amidst the global shutdown. The overall detraction from Fund performance was generally offset by the relative performance achieved in each of the other four sectors to which the Fund had exposure.
With a nearly identical weighting as the benchmark index, the largest sector exposure in the Fund was the technology sector. The Sub-Adviser’s security selection within the sector was a source of positive outperformance, particularly with holdings such as Microsoft Corp. (MSFT) (holding weight*: 6.82 percent), the software and cloud computing technology giant, ServiceNow Inc. (NOW) (holding weight*: 4.97 percent), an enterprise information technology management software company, and NVIDIA Corp. (NVDA) (holding weight*: 3.67 percent), a designer of three-dimensional graphics processors and related software. During the six-month period, MSFT, NOW, and NVDA increased 25.8 percent, 42.2 percent, and 45.6 percent, respectively. As the overall return in the sector ended in double-digits for the semi-annual period, not all holdings in the Fund enjoyed such a positive return. For example, Salesforce.com Inc. (CRM) (holding weight*: 4.75 percent), the client relationship management software developer, and Alphabet Inc. Class C (GOOG) (holding weight*: 3.52 percent), the owner of Google and its related entities, each stumbled on a relative basis. CRM and GOOG increased 3.5 percent and 7.0 percent, respectively during the six-month period.
Since the start of the fiscal year, the Fund’s largest sector overweight was to the financial services sector, which is the fourth-largest sector in the benchmark index, but second-largest exposure in the Fund. Visa Inc. (V) (holding weight*: 6.44 percent) and MasterCard Inc. (MA) (holding weight*: 6.48 percent), two of the world’s largest consumer payment systems, continued to represent the majority of the Fund’s exposure to the sector. However, although V and MA are in the financial services sector, these companies generally derive their revenues from different means than the traditional banks that often come to mind when investors consider financial services stocks. Since their revenues generally come from payment processing, particularly at storefronts as well as online, V and MA were impacted similarly to the sector as a whole during the global shutdown, resulting in nearly flat overall performance as V rose 0.2 percent and MA declined 0.4 percent. Another payment processor, PayPal Holdings Inc. (PYPL) (holding weight*: 4.24 percent), a digital and mobile payment platform, rose 18.2 percent during the six-month period, leading the Fund’s holdings in the sector.
Sub-Adviser Outlook
The Sub-Adviser consistently seeks what it believes to be the strongest growth stocks. The Sub-Adviser is less concerned with the overall sector exposure, but does seek to source these growth stocks from various industries. This generally results in some sectors and industries having higher or lower representations in the Fund than in the benchmark index. The Sub-Adviser focuses on free-cash-flow and fundamental factors that traditionally support long- term growth. Therefore, the Sub- Adviser remains less concerned about temporary market dislocations or shifts in momentum and is optimistic regarding the strong growth characteristics that led them to the concentrated group of stocks in the Fund.

Dunham Small Cap Growth Fund (Unaudited) |
Message from the Sub-Adviser (Pier Capital, LLC) |
|
Asset Class Recap
The stellar performance of small cap growth stocks, as measured by the Russell 2000 Growth Index, in 2019 continued as they increased 12.4 percent in November and December. In contrast to the close of 2018, the Federal Reserve ended the year with a more consistent message of an accommodative stance. Small cap growth stocks began 2020 on a strong note amid the signing of the phase one trade deal between the U.S. and China, but sentiment drastically shifted amid concerns that the coronavirus outbreak would adversely affect the global economy, resulting in a risk-off mentality. This risk-off mentality continued into the most recent fiscal quarter and was exacerbated as cases rapidly increased, the outbreak was labeled a pandemic, and states subsequently shut down across the country. In response, small cap growth stocks declined sharply. In April, the asset class strongly rebounded as cases slowed and the government laid out plans to slowly reopen the economy. Over the fiscal six-month period ended April 30, 2020, small cap growth stocks declined 7.6 percent.
Allocation Review
The sector allocation within the Fund is predominately a result of the Sub-Adviser’s bottom-up stock selection. With that being said, the Sub-Adviser’s stock selection contributed to Fund performance over the six-month fiscal period, with sector allocation detracting marginally. The Fund’s largest overweight by a significant margin was to the information technology sector. Both the Sub-Adviser’s overweight and security selection within this sector strongly contributed to Fund performance. Although the Fund’s overweight to the consumer discretionary sector detracted from Fund performance, the Sub- Adviser’s security selection more than made up for the adverse effect of sector allocation. This resulted in the sector being one of the strongest performers in the Fund over the six-month period. The largest sector underweight within the Fund was to the health care sector, which is partially attributed to the Fund’s underweight to biotechnology and pharmaceutical stocks. In the biotechnology space, outcomes are generally binary. As such, the Fund’s exposure to this space was significantly less than the benchmark index as outcomes are often unpredictable. This allocation detracted from Fund performance as many health care stocks rose amid hopes of the development of a coronavirus vaccine.
Holdings Insights
A top contributor over the most recent fiscal quarter and fiscal six-month period ended April 30, 2020, was Chewy, Inc. (CHWY) (holding weight*: 0.91 percent), an online retailer of pet food and other pet-related products. The Sub-Adviser believes that CHWY has developed brand loyalty by providing exceptional customer service. This company has excelled during the coronavirus as clients are wary to shop at physical locations. Additionally, their main competitor, Amazon, Inc. (AMZN) (not held) has been stretched thin due to their vast offerings and new policies resulting in delayed shipping. CHWY increased 63.1 percent in the most recent fiscal quarter and 75.3 percent in the fiscal six-month period. After slightly detracting from Fund performance in the first fiscal quarter, SAIA, Inc. (SAIA) (holding weight*: 1.08 percent) contributed to performance as it increased 6.2 percent in the most recent fiscal quarter and 3.7 percent in the fiscal six month period. This position benefited from its meaningful exposure to the secular e-commerce trend. Additionally, the Sub- Adviser believes they are still in the early innings of growing out their Northeast U.S. footprint, which serves as an additional catalyst for growth. Another position that contributed to Fund performance over the fiscal six-month period was Enphase Energy, Inc. (ENPH) (holding weight*: 1.00 percent). ENPH makes critical components that help convert energy from solar panels to the grid. The company rallied as it revealed a variety of training solutions for installers in order to prepare them for social distancing. ENPH also announced the opening of eleven regional training centers, which will provide hands-on training as well as steps to broaden its reach in Europe and Australia. ENPH increased 36 percent since being added in the Fund in late March.
Despite increasing over 100 percent in the first fiscal quarter, Cardlytics, Inc. (CDLX) (holding weight*: 0.91 percent) detracted from Fund performance in the second fiscal quarter. CDLX is a digital marketing platform for mobile banking apps, and as such, is a pure- play on the large secular theme of digital advertising. CDLX declined 46.4 percent, but the Sub-Adviser believes the effects of the pandemic and subsequent shutdown on CDLX were overstated due to their exposure to travel companies. The Sub-Adviser also believes CDLX has done an excellent job of adding large bank customers and their most recent quarterly result was the culmination of those efforts as they are seeing strong growth in both their inventory of leads as well as strong growth in new advertising revenue. Another detractor from Fund performance over the fiscal period was Boyd Gaming Corporation (BYD) (holding weight**: 0.36 percent). BYD is a gaming company and regional casino operator, which was adversely affected by the shutdowns across the country. After increasing 9.8 percent in the first fiscal quarter, BYD declined 62.5 percent before being sold from the Fund.
Sub-Adviser Outlook
The Sub-Adviser does not forecast. The Sub-Adviser’s investment approach involves a thorough understanding of each stock’s value proposition and risk. With that being said, the Sub-Adviser is confident in the long-term horizon for small cap growth stocks. However, in the short-term the Sub- Adviser believes that the asset class will experience volatility as investors have binary reactions to updates regarding potential vaccines for the coronavirus. They believe this will create substantial dispersion between stocks, thus creating meaningful opportunities for active management.

Dunham Emerging Markets Stock Fund (Unaudited) |
Message from the Sub-Adviser (NS Partners Ltd.) |

Asset Class Recap
Emerging markets stocks, as measured by the MSCI Emerging Markets Index, surged 7.3 percent in the first two months of the fiscal year amid defusing tensions between the United States and China, interest rate cuts in several major emerging markets, as well as an improved outlook for global economic growth. Sentiment continued to improve on reports that the U.S. and China were drawing closer to a partial trade deal, culminating in an announcement on December 13 of a trade agreement. Although it lacked details, investors viewed it as a reprieve from escalating tariffs. January started on a positive note as the dovish Federal Reserve may have provided investors with the confidence to take additional risk. Emerging Markets generally continued to rally amid the signing of the phase one trade deal on January 15. The surge that started the fiscal quarter propelled most emerging markets countries into positive territory, some up as much as 27 percent. However, sentiment changed as the outbreak of the coronavirus sparked concerns that would adversely affect global economic growth leading to a risk-off sentiment to close the first fiscal quarter. This sentiment continued and worsened as coronavirus cases and deaths mounted causing economics around the world to close. Also adding to volatility was an oil price war between Russia and Saudi Arabia, which was triggered by Russia’s refusal to reduce oil production in order to keep prices for oil at moderate levels. Emerging market stocks fell 20 percent in February and March. In April, emerging market stocks rebounded amid historic fiscal and monetary policies set by central banks around the world. Emerging markets stocks declined 10.5 percent during the six-month period ending April 30, 2020.
Allocation Review
Over the six -month fiscal period, country selection detracted but the Sub-Adviser’s security selection more than made up for the adverse effects of country allocation. The Fund’s country allocation was aided by the exposure to Latin American but held back by the allocation to Asia. The Fund received contributions from stock selection in Korea, China, and Poland, with only a slight detraction coming from stock selection in Thailand and India. Throughout the first fiscal quarter, the Fund took profits and allowed cash to rise by selectively reducing exposure in China and Hong Kong, with an emphasis on consumer names. This shift positively contributed to Fund performance as Hong Kong and China declined 8.4 percent and 8.7 percent, respectively in the second half of January. In the second fiscal quarter, the relatively larger allocation to cash helped offset some of the volatility across markets. The Sub-Adviser reduced the cash position by adding to Chinese internet-related businesses, positions in Taiwan, and companies that have benefited from the “work from home” orders. From a sector perspective, the Fund received strong contributions from the consumer staples, technology, and consumer discretionary sectors, while the exposure to the energy and utilities sectors detracted.
Holdings Insights
As some countries began to lockdown in the first fiscal quarter of the year, the Sub-Adviser believed that this could temporarily affect private educator companies. One such company within the Fund was China Education Group Holdings Ltd. (839 HK) (holding weight*: 1.79 percent) . This position was reduced in the first fiscal quarter as it fell 18.5 percent. The Sub-Adviser’s conviction in the position remained due to their best in class reputation and strong financial position. The Sub-Adviser added to the position in the second fiscal quarter, benefiting the Fund as it increased 37.6 percent. Another strong contributor to performance was Alibaba Health Information Technology LTD (241 HK) (holding weight*: 1.36 percent). 241 HK is a fully-integrated health care analysis and service provider. Since being added to the Fund in early April, this position increased 24.1 percent. One of the best performers over the six-month period was the Fund’s sole position in Poland, CD Projekt SA (CDR PW) (holding weight*: 2.24 percent). CDR PW is a Polish video game developer, publisher, and distributor in Warsaw. This company released impressive earnings reports with revenue and earnings per share surpassing analyst expectations by 50 percent. The stock also increased in anticipation of the new release of their acclaimed video game series, “The Witcher.” CDR PW rose 41.9 percent during the six-month period.
Positions in India provided mixed results for the fiscal six-month period. Varun Beverages Ltd. (VBL IN) (holding weight*: 0.95 percent) is a beverage distributor that recently entered competitors’ territories and handily beat market expectations. After the integration, VBL IN has a higher market share in India than both Coca Cola (KO) (not held) and PepsiCo, Inc. (PEP) (not held). VBLN had an impressive first fiscal quarter, increasing 23.7 percent but declined 12.7 percent in the second fiscal quarter. Lemon Tree Hotels Ltd. (BL23SQ7) (holding weight*: 0.53 percent) detracted from Fund performance in the six-month period by falling 71.2 percent. Lemon Tree Hotels Ltd. is a hotel and restaurant operator who was hit by the virus-related concerns. These concerns were exacerbated by the timing of the pandemic given the company was in the midst of an expansion. After being the largest contributor to positive Fund performance over the first fiscal quarter by increasing 14.5 percent, Lukoil PJSC (LKOD LI) (holding weight*: 0.80 percent), a large multinational company that explores for, produces, refines, and transports oil and gas mainly from Western Siberia, declined 35.8 percent in the second fiscal quarter. This Russian producer benefitted from a weak ruble and no production constraints, which is contrary to many members of the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries. However, in the second fiscal quarter, this position was adversely affected by the Russia and Saudi Arabia oil price war.
Sub-Adviser Outlook
The Sub- Adviser’s outlook has improved over the second fiscal quarter, but they continue to diligently monitor geopolitical developments and economic data. The Sub-Adviser believes that unprecedented fiscal and monetary stimulus will drive a strong recovery toward the latter half of 2020 and the beginning of 2021. The Sub-Adviser is keeping a close eye on the labor markets and updates on the coronavirus pandemic and how economies will approach their reopening. The Sub-Adviser is focused on increasing liquidity in sensitive markets as well as looking for opportunities from policy response to virus-related economic disruption. The Sub-Adviser is cautiously optimistic moving forward and will continue to focus on companies with impressive returns on invested capital and emphasize companies that it believes are beneficiaries of structural change.

Allocation Review
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 the most to returns relative to the Index during the semi- annual period were: Switzerland, mainly due to our overweight positioning along with positive selection within health care; and Australia, primarily due to both positive selection and underweight positioning in financials, along with positive selection paired with an overweight to materials. Countries contributing the most to underperformance relative to the Index included: China, primarily due to our underweight positioning along with negative selection in communication services and an underweight to consumer discretionary; and Italy, primarily due to poor selection within consumer discretionary, as well as an overweight to financials.
Sectors contributing the most to returns relative to the Index during the semi-annual period included: Health care, primarily due to an overweight and positive selection to Swiss health care, and an overweight to Japanese health care; and financials due to both an underweight and positive selection in Australian financials, as well as an underweight to UK financials. Sectors contributing the most to underperformance relative to the Index included: consumer discretionary, primarily due to an underweight to China as noted above, and poor selection within France; and communication services, primarily due to an underweight and negative selection within China also noted above, along with underweight positioning to Brazilian communication services.
Holdings Insights
Stocks contributing the most to returns relative to the Index during the semi-annual period included: Roche Holding AG (ROG SW) (holding weight*: 2.02 percent), a Swiss health care company, a Swiss health care company; Royal Dutch Shell PLC (RDS/B) (holding weight*: 0.27 percent), a UK energy company, a UK energy company; and UCB SA (UCB BB) (holding weight**: 0.62 percent), a Belgian health care company. During the semi-annual period, ROG SW rose 18.7 percent, while RDS/B surged 34.8 percent since it was added to the Fund in mid-March, as UCB BB increased 10.4 percent from the beginning of the fiscal year until it was sold in April. Stocks contributing the most to underperformance relative to the Index included: Tencent Holdings Ltd. (TCEHY) (holding weight*: 0.63 percent), a Chinese communication services company, Alibaba Group Holding Ltd. (BABA) (holding weight*: 0.60 percent), a Chinese consumer discretionary company, and Fiat Chrysler Automobiles NV (FCA IM) (holding weight*: 0.66 percent), an Italian consumer discretionary company. During the fiscal quarter, TCEHY and BABA increased 29.9 percent and 14.7 percent, respectively, but both were held at lower weightings than the benchmark index, while FCA IM declined 43.5 percent.
Sub-Adviser Outlook
The Sub-Adviser generally constructs its portfolios by using proprietary econometric models and a proprietary optimization process that balances the trade-off between a stock’s expected return, its contribution to portfolio level risk, portfolio specific restrictions, and its opportunity costs relative to trading costs. As this is performed quantitatively, the Sub-Adviser’s outlook does not play a role in the disciplined investment process.

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.

Message from the Sub-Adviser (Mellon Investments Corporation) |
Asset Class Recap
Global equities and bond yields systematically rose to begin the fiscal year and close the 2019 calendar year. Investor confidence increased that a recession is not imminent as U.S. and Eurozone manufacturing and services picked up. Even more importantly, despite headlines of substantial job cuts overseas, employment continued to impress both domestically and abroad. Geopolitical risk also began to dissipate, as the U.S. planned tariff increases on China scheduled to increase on December 15 did not go into effect as the two countries worked toward a phase one trade deal. The optimism spilled into the New Year as the U.S. and China worked towards, and signed the phase one trade deal on January 15. Shortly after the signing, concerns over the adverse economic effects of the coronavirus outbreak sparked volatility, pushing both yields and equity markets substantially lower. Investor optimism reemerged in late March as countries saw coronavirus cases decline, and countries laid out plans to slowly reopen unprecedented stimulus from central banks around the world. In response, equities rallied to close the month while global yields remained suppressed. Global macro strategies, as measured by the IQ Hedge Global Macro Beta Index, increased 3.9 percent during the fiscal six-month period ended April 30, 2020.
Allocation Review
As positive economic data came in the finals months of 2019, the Sub-Adviser saw this as an opportunity to reduce the defensive asset strategy and increase the exposure to the growth strategy. This shift benefited the Fund as equities rose, however, this exposure detracted from performance in the final two weeks of the first fiscal quarter as volatility spiked. As volatility remained elevated in the first two months of the second fiscal quarter, the Sub-Adviser reduced the growth asset strategy to 29.5 percent by the end of March. The Sub-Adviser also reduced the real asset strategy down to three percent as the Sub-Adviser’s outlook for the asset class dimmed. Both reductions were used to bolster the defensive asset strategy. As markets rebounded to close the second fiscal quarter, the Sub-Adviser added to the growth asset strategy, ending the period at 50 percent of the Fund. The defensive asset strategy contributed to Fund performance over the six- month period, while both the real asset strategy and growth asset strategy detracted.
Holdings Insights
One of the largest detractors from Fund performance was the exposure to U.S. equities. This was achieved through the SPDR S&P 500 ETF Trust (SPY) (holding weight*: 39.5 percent) as well as through long exposures to S&P 500 call options which also detracted from Fund performance. Over the six-month period, SPY decreased 3.2 percent. The exposure to developed ex U.S. equities also detracted from Fund performance through the iShares Currency Hedged MSCI Japan ETF (HEWJ) (holding weight*: 0.95 percent) and the iShares Hedged MSCI Germany ETF (HEWG) (holding weight*: 2.11 percent). HEWJ and HEWG declined 10.6 and 15.1 percent, respectively over the six-month period.
The defensive asset strategy broadly achieved its goal of attempting to provide some downside protection for the Fund during the spikes in volatility late in the first fiscal quarter and throughout the bulk of the second fiscal quarter. In the latter half of January through mid-March, equity markets rapidly declined while U.S. investment grade bonds provided a positive return. Given that the largest portion of the defensive asset strategy is dedicated to U.S. government bonds, this exposure benefited the Fund. Despite the rally to close the second fiscal quarter, this exposure was still able to strongly contribute to Fund performance. The Fund also received positive contributions from the SPDR Portfolio Intermediate-Term Corporate Bond Fund (SPIB) (holding weight*: 10.6 percent). As spreads widened, the Sub-Adviser took advantage of these suppressed values by adding SPIB to the Fund in late March. Since being added to the Fund, SPIB increased 4.8 percent. The largest short within the defensive strategy and the Fund as a whole was dedicated to developed ex U.S. bonds. This position was expressed through short derivatives and slightly contributed to Fund performance as these underlying credits generally fell during the second fiscal quarter. For example, the Long Gilt Future June 20 (G M0) (holding weight*: -1.30 percent) contributed to Fund performance as the underlying bond decreased 2.1 percent in the second fiscal quarter.
The real assets strategy, while the smallest allocation in the Fund, detracted from Fund performance during the fiscal six-month period. The goal of the strategy is to hedge against inflation while also providing potential diversification benefits. This was implemented through commodities via the iShares Commodities Select Strategy ETF (COMT) (holding weight*: 3.02 percent), which fell 28.8 percent in the fiscal six-month period. The diversifying strategy, the net Fund currency exposure, also adversely affected performance over the fiscal quarter, detracting approximately 3.5 percent from Fund performance.
Sub-Adviser Outlook
The Sub-Adviser is optimistic for opportunities within the various asset categories the Fund invests in for the rest of 2020, 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 its strategy and the use of alternative investments, the Fund may provide what may be considered attractive returns with lower systematic risk and lower correlation than traditional equity investments.

Asset Class Recap
As the predominately positive equity and credit environment rapidly succumbed to fears over the duration and potential lasting effects of the global shutdown, strategies that attempt to control risk were tested. After a relatively docile first fiscal quarter, the second fiscal quarter saw both investment-grade bonds and high-yield bonds decline, with high-yield shedding multiples of the amount of its higher-rated counterparts. This posed a particularly strenuous and precarious backdrop for long/short credit strategies that focus on spread-tightening. Therefore, the six-month period’s results were highly dictated by what happened in the second fiscal quarter, more specifically what happened in March. During the six-month period ended April 30, intermediate-term investment-grade corporate bond yields, as measured by the BofA Merrill Lynch 5-7 Year BBB U.S. Corporate Index, declined 0.8 percent, while single-B bonds, as measured by the BofA Merrill Lynch 5-7 Year B U.S. Cash Pay High-Yield Index and CCC-rated bonds, as measured by the BofA Merrill Lynch 5-7 Year CCC & Lower U.S. Cash Pay High- Yield Index, plummeted 7.3 percent and 18.1 percent, respectively. To compound the spread widening issue even further, intermediate-term Treasury bonds, as measured by the BofA Merrill Lynch 5-7 Year Treasury Index, experienced an increase of 7.3 percent during the same time period. Therefore, the yield spread on investment-grade bonds rated BBB expanded to 288 basis points, while the yield spreads for high-yield bonds rated single-B and CCC and lower rose to 811 basis points and 1,398 basis points, respectively.
Allocation Review
The Sub-Adviser has continued to implement a somewhat more defensive approach and made adjustments in the Fund’s overall exposures when spreads were near their tightest earlier in the fiscal year. Therefore, the Fund was not as affected by the spread widening in the lowest rated credits, which saw a moderate amount of widening in January before the first fiscal quarter concluded. Some of the risk management strategies that the Sub-Adviser increased were the “credit shorts” and “rate hedging” strategies, which attempt to manage overall credit risk and correlation to the high- yield market, as well as manage the overall interest rate sensitivity of the Fund. While the rate hedging strategy generally detracted during the six-month period, primarily due to interest rates plummeting in March, the credit shorts more than offset the adverse effect of the rate hedge. In addition, the Sub-Adviser consistently implements and adheres to strict stop-losses assigned to each holding in the Fund, many of which were effectively stopped out between January and March. This resulted in a two-fold benefit; 1) nearly all of the holdings that were stopped- out subsequently slid multiple percentage points (often double- digits) lower, and 2) the proceeds from the sale at the stop- loss were used to purchase other holdings that the Sub-Adviser viewed as more attractive risk-reward opportunities.
Holdings Insights
As long positions, regardless of credit quality, generally declined during the semi-annual period, the Fund’s short positions such as the SWAPs on the iBoxx USD Liquid High- Yield Index (IBOXHY) (holding weight*: -15.82 percent) were some of the best performers, particularly in March. The IBOXHY decreased 6.7 percent during the six-month period, contributing a similar amount to the Fund due to the short position accessed through the SWAPs. During the two-week period in March when most of the fiscal quarter’s devastation was experienced, IBOXHY declined 16.9 percent, providing a significant buoy for the Fund, offsetting much of the declines experienced in many of the Fund’s core long positions. The Fund continued to hold the Prudential Financial Inc. SWAP (holding weight*: 3.60 percent). The Prudential Financial SWAP slightly decreased, losing 0.2 percent, as the underlying had a fairly flat-to-positive overall return during the six-month period, slightly detracting from absolute performance to the Fund due to the short position. As bonds across the credit quality spectrum were pressured downward by the “sell all” mindset sweeping the markets, the Sub-Adviser initiated a large credit-default SWAP basket against investment-grade bonds, via the CDX IG 33 SWAP (CDX) (holding weight*: 12.37 percent). Since it was implemented at the end of February through the end of the semi-annual period, the SWAP increased 2.4 percent.
Clearly, not all holdings performed positively during the six-month period, as at least eight stop losses were implemented before the end of March, locking in declines on each executed position. However, the Sub- Adviser had used proceeds from the execution of stop- losses and excess cash positions in the Fund to implement opportunistic trades during the fiscal quarter. For example, during the tumultuous month of March, the Sub-Adviser purchased the Caterpillar Financial Service bond maturing in 2021 (14913Q2X6) (holding weight*: 3.60 percent) and the Sempra Energy bond maturing in 2021 (816851BD0) (holding weight*: 3.14 percent). These two investment-grade bonds had experienced an extreme sell-off prior to the Fed announcing its support for short-dated investment-grade bonds. Therefore, the Sub-Adviser’s acquisition of these holdings for the Fund was timely, as the two securities quickly rebounded with the Fed’s Sunday announcement of the bond-buying program. From their purchase in March through the end of April, the Caterpillar and Sempra bonds rose 9.7 percent and 9.6 percent, respectively.
Sub-Adviser Outlook
The Sub-Adviser believes that additional downturns and volatility will continue to plague the credit markets and that more opportunities to add to specific bonds again at lower price levels may arise. The Sub-Adviser also believes that the opportunity set will continue to expand, particularly as liquidity improves. As this occurs, the Sub-Adviser expects to utilize most of its strategies, by establishing core longs at historically cheap valuations, taking advantage of relative single name dislocations via pair trades, and adding some inexpensive single name short positions – all while remaining exceptionally active in its opportunistic trading bucket. Therefore, while the Sub-Adviser does not believe that credits markets are in the clear, it is optimistic about the opportunities a volatile market may present.

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 closest 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 Morningstar Long- Short Credit Category is generally representative of funds that purchase or sell bonds, credit default swaps, or other credit derivatives to potentially benefit from changes in the credit markets and/or individual issuers.
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 1.26% for Class N, 2.26% for Class C and 1.51% for Class A.

Message from the Sub-Adviser (Weiss Multi-Strategy Advisers LLC) |
Asset Class Recap
As the fiscal year began, the lingering fears surrounding trade deals dissipated on the back of perception of improved U.S.-China trade negotiations and clarity on economic growth. Investors also received updates on improvements in business and consumer confidence. As equities rallied, volatility remained benign, and already tight spreads tightened further. However, news out of China regarding a virus outbreak caused investors to view each new headline with caution and even some trepidation. Volatility spiked and reached a crescendo as cases around the globe spiked, the outbreak was aptly identified as a pandemic, and economies around the world shut down. In response, asset classes around the world systematically declined. This sell-off and corresponding spikes in volatility were generally triggered by “concerns” and headlines rather than deteriorating fundamentals. Regardless of the cause, volatility spikes generally correspond with widening spreads on merger deals and other risk -arbitrage opportunities. To close the second fiscal quarter, markets rebounded slightly amid unprecedented support from central banks around the world to bolster the global economy. During the six-month period ended April 30, 2020, event driven strategies, as measured by the Credit Suisse Event Driven Liquid Index, declined 7.0 percent. While broader in scope, long/short equity strategies, as measured by the Credit Suisse Long/Short Liquid Index, increased 3.5 percent.
Allocation Review
Within the Fund, the event driven allocation is primarily represented in the form of announced mergers. The allocation to event driven holdings began the fiscal year at 47 percent and fell as low as 38 percent as prominent positions came to fruition in the first fiscal quarter. As predicted by the Sub-Adviser, this allocation rose to 59 percent in the second fiscal quarter as the Sub-Adviser was able to identify above average spreads in strategic deals with manageable regulatory hurdles as the fiscal quarter progressed. The six-month period ended with a 59 percent allocation dedicated to event driven holdings, with the remaining dedicated to the long/short book. As volatility spiked in the second fiscal quarter, the gross exposure was reduced to 74.4 percent. Moving forward the Sub-Adviser will look to add to the gross exposure as volatility subsides.
Holdings Insights
As previously mentioned, the allocation to the event driven holdings declined. This was partially due to the largest pharmaceutical deal ever, combining two of the world’s largest cancer drug businesses. The deal was announced in the first fiscal quarter of 2019, and has been a highlight of the Fund’s event driven allocation ever since. The deal spread between Celgene Corp. (CELG) (holding weight**: 9.21 percent) and Bristol-Myers Squibb Co. (BMY) (holding weight**: -5.76 percent) has compressed over 2019 and closed in the first fiscal quarter, positively contributing to Fund performance. Another substantial deal within the Fund came from AbbVie Inc.’s (ABBV) (holding weight*: -2.10 percent) acquisition of Allergan PLC (AGN) (holding weight*: 7.34 percent). Over the first fiscal quarter, AGN successfully sold two drugs as a part of the divestment in order to complete the transaction. As such, the spread on this deal tightened substantially, positively contributing to Fund performance. In the second fiscal quarter the spread on the deal widened to $22 amid the market sell off, however, the deal spread compressed to $0.19 by the end of the six-month period as the deal received all regulatory approvals. The Sub-Adviser is confident the deal will officially close early in the next fiscal quarter. Many other deals closed over the six-month period including the Flutter Entertainment PLC (holding weight**: -0.29 percent), acquisition of the Stars Group Inc. (TSGI CN) (holding weight*: 1.62 percent). This $12.2 billion cross border deal will create the largest e-gaming company in the world by revenue and will attempt to take on the growing sports gambling market in the United States. Over the first fiscal quarter, this deal came under the scrutiny of the United Kingdom’s antitrust regulator, the Competition and Market Authority, causing the spread on this deal to widen. In the second fiscal quarter, the spread reversed and the deal closed.
The low net profile of the long/short equity allocation slightly detracted early in the fiscal year as markets rallied but strongly benefitted the Fund as volatility spiked in the second fiscal quarter. The Sub-Adviser aggressively reduced the gross and net exposure of the long /short strategy allocation as markets became highly volatile and unpredictable. The Sub- Adviser also improved the overall quality of the strategy by moving out of the higher beta names and into stocks like The Home Depot Inc. (HD) (holding weight*: 0.10 percent), which it believes is capable of thriving during the current pandemic, and stocks like McDonald’s Corp. (MCD) (holding weight*: 0.50 percent) which the Sub- Adviser believes is poised to strongly rebound once the economy opens. Throughout the volatility, the Sub-Adviser wrote calls on stocks to take advantage of the substantially higher level of implied volatility. This exposure, in general, slightly detracted from performance as equities rebounded to close the second fiscal quarter. For example, the Nike Inc. call 5/15/20 at $82.50 (NKE 5/15/20 C82.5) (holding weight**: - 0.03 percent) detracted from Fund performance since it was in the Fund from April 2 to April 24 as the underlying increased 10.3 percent. However, the Fund’s long position to Nike Inc. (NKE) (holding weight*: 0.76 percent) more than made up for the loss.
Sub- Adviser Outlook
Through the historic decline and subsequent rally, the Sub-Adviser continued to reiterate its commitment to its investment approach and philosophy, focusing on capital preservation and opportunistically looking to deploy capital as appropriate. The Sub- Adviser’s multi-lens approach served the Fund during the volatility throughout the second fiscal quarter, and the Sub- Adviser is optimistic that its approach is well-suited for additional bouts of volatility that are likely to arise through the rest of the calendar year and beyond. Although new mergers have slowed, the Sub- Adviser believes that new deals will surge later in the year as large cash-rich companies focus on buying dislocated assets.

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.
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 2.67% for Class N, 3.67% for Class C and 2.92% 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.

Message from the Sub-Adviser (American Assets Capital Advisers, LLC) |
Asset Class Recap
Global markets rallied and interest rates moved higher in the final two months of 2019 on the heels of improving sentiment regarding global growth and cooling tensions between the United States and China. However, asset classes across the globe experienced severe declines in the first three months of 2020 amid a myriad of volatility-causing headings including an oil price war, underscored by the rapid spread of the coronavirus, and the subsequent economic shutdown. To close the fiscal six-month period, markets rebounded in April, recouping some of what was lost. In the fiscal six-month period ended April 30, 2020, REITs, as measured by the Dow Jones US Real Estate Total Return Index, decreased 17.6 percent. During this time, the yield on the 10- year U.S. Treasury fell 105 basis points to 0.64 percent.
Allocation Review
There was a significant disparity in returns among the REIT sectors over the first fiscal quarter of the year, but those paled in comparison to the second fiscal quarter ended April 30, 2020. For the fiscal six-month period, the best performing sectors were the data center REIT and the infrastructure REIT sectors, which increased 17.2 and 13.5 percent, respectively, while the retail and lodging REIT sectors were the worst performers, falling 41.5 percent and 43.5 percent, respectively. The Fund strongly benefitted from sector allocation as the Fund’s largest exposures and largest relative overweights came from both the infrastructure and data center REIT sectors. The Fund also benefitted from very little exposure to cyclical sectors such as the retail and the lodging sectors. However, from an absolute perspective, exposure to health care REITs detracted from Fund performance.
Holdings Insights
The best-performing positions within the Fund over the six-month fiscal period were data center and tower REITs. These positions were largely insulated from the pandemic sell-off, as the need for data did not wane over the second fiscal quarter. The reliance on data substantially increased as stay-at-home orders forced employees to work remotely and children to attend school from home. Not only did it drive these REITs higher, but it may also have emphasized its vital and expanding role in an increasingly digital economy. Equinix, Inc. (EQIX) (holding weight*: 5.14 percent), the world’s largest data center REIT, was one of the best-performing holdings within the Fund by increasing 20.2 percent in the fiscal six-month period. Another data center company that positively contributed to Fund performance over the most recent fiscal period was GDS Holdings Ltd. (GDS) (holding weight*: 6.49 percent). GDS increased 6.8 percent since being added to the Fund in early January amid impressive earnings reports that revealed a 42.2 percent increase in net revenue year-over-year in the fourth quarter.
American Tower REIT (AMT) (holding weight*: 7.00 percent), an owner and operator of wireless and broadcast communications infrastructure, was a strong contributor to Fund performance through the six-month period. AMT continued to post solid cash flows and the Sub- Adviser believes it is poised to benefit from investment in 5G-tower infrastructure. Additionally, AMT announced the completion of an acquisition that would add approximately 5,700 communications sites. AMT increased 10.1 percent over the fiscal six-month period. Another cellular tower REIT that contributed to Fund performance was SBA Communications Corp. (SBAC) (holding weight*: 4.33 percent). SBAC rose 21.6 percent amid various analyst upgrades since also being added to the Fund in early January.
Despite the infrastructure sector contributing as a whole to Fund performance, one of the worst-performing positions within the Fund came from this sector. Fortress Transportation & Infrastructure (FTAI) (holding weight*: 7.42 percent) declined 39.0 percent since being added to the Fund in early January. FTAI owns and acquires infrastructure and related equipment for the transportation of goods and people across the globe. The Sub- Adviser remains confident in the position and increased the exposure over the second fiscal quarter. The Sub-Adviser believes this stock was unduly punished by the lack of travel during the coronavirus, as the transportation of goods is still a thriving business for the company. As previously mentioned, holdings within the health care REIT sector detracted from Fund performance. One particular holding was Healthcare Trust of America Inc. (HTA) (holding weight*: 1.72 percent). HTA, the largest dedicated owner and operator of medical office buildings in the United States, declined 16.9 percent since being added in mid-March as coronavirus fears and decrees prompted individuals to avoid medical facilities at all costs.
Sub-Adviser Outlook
The Sub- Adviser is cautiously optimistic regarding the real estate asset class for the rest of 2020 and beyond. The Sub-Adviser believes that REITs generally outperform when supply is constrained, demand is less cyclical, and tenants are reluctant to leave. This results in overweight to sectors that have an oligopoly or duopoly structure, have higher barriers to entry for new developers, higher barriers to exit for tenants, and secular demand drivers underlying the user side of the business. The Sub-Adviser believes that the combination of these four characteristics can create a concentrated portfolio of real estate stocks that have a potential competitive advantage over their peers.

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 Floating Rate Bond, High-Yield Bond, International Opportunity Bond, Focused Large Cap Growth, Dynamic Macro, and Monthly Distribution 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 Floating Rate Bond, International Opportunity Bond, Focused Large Cap Growth, Dynamic Macro, and Monthly Distribution 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.
| 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.”

April 30, 2020 (Continued) |
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.
Swap transactions are valued through an independent pricing service or at fair value based on daily price reporting from the swap counterparty issuing the swap. Total return swaps on securities listed on an exchange shall be valued at the last quoted sales price or, in the absence of a sale, at the mean between the current bid and ask prices.
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 Emerging Markets Stock and International 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.

April 30, 2020 (Continued) |
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.
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 April 30, 2020 for the Funds’ assets and liabilities measured at fair value:

The Funds did not hold any Level 3 securities during the year.
b. Foreign Currency Translations – The accounting records of the Funds are maintained in U.S. dollars. Investment securities and other assets and liabilities denominated in a foreign currency, and income receipts and expense payments, are translated into U.S. dollars using the prevailing exchange 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 Foreign Currency Exchange Contracts – As foreign securities are purchased, a Fund generally enters into forward foreign 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 foreign currency exchange 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 forward foreign currency exchange contracts in the Statements of Operations.
d. Options – Dynamic Macro and Monthly Distribution 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.
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited) |
April 30, 2020 (Continued) |
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. Cash – The Funds consider their investments in an FDIC insured interest bearing savings account to be cash. The Funds maintain cash balances, which, at times, may exceed federally insured limits. The Funds maintain these balances with a high quality financial institution.
f. Swap Agreements – International Opportunity Bond, Long/Short Credit and Monthly Distribution are subject to stock market risk and fixed income risk in the normal course of pursuing their 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 accrue 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.
g. Futures Contracts – International Opportunity Bond, Dynamic Macro, and Long/Short Credit 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.

h. 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.

During the six months ended April 30, 2020, Long/Short Credit is subject to a master netting arrangement for swaps. The following table shows additional information regarding the offsetting of assets and liabilities at April 30, 2020.

k. 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.
l. 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 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.
m. 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.
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited) |
April 30, 2020 (Continued) |
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.
n. 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 2017 to 2019 and expected to be taken in tax year 2020 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.
o. 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 Corporate/Government Bond, Floating Rate Bond, High-Yield Bond, International Opportunity Bond, Long/Short Credit, and Monthly Distribution which will distribute their respective net investment income, if any, monthly. 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.
p. Real Estate Investment Trusts – Real Estate Stock invests primarily in Real Estate Investment Trusts (REITs). Distributions from REITs may be characterized as dividends, capital gains, and/or return of capital.
q. 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 |
Corporate/Government Bond | | 0.65% – 0.95% | | 0.50% | | 0.15% – 0.45% |

Emerging Markets Stock | | 0.70% – 1.50% | | 0.65% | | 0.05% – 0.85% |
International Stock | | 0.95% – 1.65% | | 0.65% | | 0.30% – 1.00% |
Dynamic Macro | | 1.05% – 1.75% | | 0.65% | | 0.40% – 1.10% |
Long/Short Credit | | 0.70% – 1.80% | | 0.65% | | 0.05% – 1.15% |
Monthly Distribution | | 0.87% – 1.63% | | 0.65% | | 0.22% – 0.98% |
Real Estate Stock * | | 0.80% – 1.40% | | 0.65% | | 0.15% – 0.75% |
| * | Prior to January 1, 2020, the Sub-Adviser’s portion for Real Estate Stock was 0.10%-0.70% and the Management Fee was 0.75%-1.35%. |
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, some 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 International Opportunity Bond and Real Estate Stock which are in the initial year of a new Fulcrum Fee arrangement, are calculating Performance Fees on a rolling 12-month basis as of April 30, 2020.
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.
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 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, the mark-to-market treatment of open forward foreign currency contracts, options, dividend payable and swap contracts, and adjustments for partnerships, perpetual bonds, passive foreign investment companies, constructive sales of securities held short, straddles and C Corporation return of capital distributions. The unrealized appreciation (depreciation) in the table above includes unrealized foreign currency gains (losses) for the Funds. 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:

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 at rate of Prime less .5%. 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. Based only on the days borrowed, the average amount of borrowings outstanding where as follows:
| | Average borrowings | |
Fund | | outstanding | |
Floating Rate Bond | | $ | 1,024,000 | |
High-Yield Bond | | | 188,000 | |
International Opportunity Bond | | | 449,000 | |

The interest expense for all the Funds listed above is immaterial.
As of April 30, 2020, all the Funds listed above had no outstanding borrowings on the Uncommitted Line.
Funds not listed above did not access the line of credit during the six months ended April 30, 2020.
The Funds have entered into separate Securities Lending Agreements (“Agreements”) with the US Bank NA and Securities Finance Trust Company (“SFTC”). High Yield Bond, Small Cap Growth and Monthly Distribution lend securities with SFTC. All other Funds lend securities with US Bank NA. 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. International Stock is below the 105% threshold due to market fluctuation. 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 Funds collateral, net of any rebates paid by the Bank to the borrowers is remitted to US Bank or SFTC as lending agent and the remainder is paid to the Fund(s).
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited) |
April 30, 2020 (Continued) |
Securities lending income, if any, is disclosed in the Funds’ Statements of Operations and is net of fees retained by the counterparty. 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.
The below table shows the collateral held by each Fund at the end of the period.

| (1) | The amount is limited to the loaned securities and accordingly, does not include excess collateral pledged. |
| * | Securities collateralized below 102% or 105% for foreign securities. The Trust’s securities lending policies and procedures require that the borrower: (i) deliver cash or U.S. Government securities as collateral with respect to each new loan of U.S. securities, equal to at least 102% or 105% of the value of the portfolio securities loaned, and (ii) at all times thereafter mark-to-market the collateral on a daily basis so that the market value of such collateral is at least 100% of the value of securities loaned. From time to time the collateral may not be 102% or 105% due to end of day market movement. The next business day additional collateral is obtained/received from the borrower to replenish/reestablish 102% or 105%. |
| 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.
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited) |
April 30, 2020 (Continued) |
The performance of Monthly Distribution will be directly affected by the performance of the Fidelity Investments Money Market Fund – Class I. The financial statements of this Fund, 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 Monthly Distribution’s financial statements. As of April 30, 2020, the percentage of Monthly Distribution Fund invested in the Fidelity Investments Money Market Fund- Class I was 41.5%.
| 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. These amendments have been adopted with these financial statements.
| 12. | LIQUIDITY RISK MANAGEMENT PROGRAM |
In October 2016, the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) adopted Rule 22e-4, or the “Liquidity Rule,” under the Investment Company Act of 1940. The Liquidity Rule requires a mutual fund to adopt a liquidity risk management program (“Program”). In June 2018, the SEC adopted a requirement that a mutual fund disclose information about the operation and effectiveness of its Program in its reports to shareholders.
The Funds have adopted and implemented a Program pursuant to the Liquidity Rule, effective December 1, 2018. The Program is intended to provide a framework for: (1) assessing and managing a Fund’s liquidity risk (i.e., the risk that a Fund could not meet requests to redeem shares without significantly diluting remaining investors’ interests) based on a variety of factors, including the Fund’s investment strategy and liquidity of its portfolio investments, (2) classifying the liquidity of a Fund’s investments, (3) determining a Fund’s highly liquid investment minimum (“HLIM”), if applicable, (4) complying with a Fund’s illiquid investment limit, and (5) reporting to the Funds’ Board of Trustees. The Board of Trustees designated the Funds’ investment adviser, Dunham & Associates Investment Counsel, Inc. (the “Program Administrator”), to administer the Program. The Program Administrator established a liquidity risk management group to assist the Program Administrator in implementing the Program.
Under the Program, each of the Fund’s portfolio investments is classified into one of four liquidity categories defined by the SEC: highly liquid, moderately liquid, less liquid, and illiquid. Liquidity classifications take into account a variety of market, trading, and investment factors, including the Fund’s reasonably anticipated trade size, and the Program Administrator has engaged a third-party vendor to assist with the classification of portfolio investments.
The Liquidity Rule prohibits mutual funds from acquiring investments that would cause their illiquid investments to exceed 15% of net assets. The Liquidity Rule also requires funds that do not primarily hold assets that are highly liquid investments to determine a minimum percentage of net assets to be invested in highly liquid investments (the HLIM). The Program includes provisions designed to comply with the 15% limit on illiquid investments and for determining and complying with the HLIM requirement, as applicable.
In accordance with the Liquidity Rule, the Program Administrator prepared, and the Funds’ Board of Trustees reviewed, a report regarding the operation and effectiveness of the Program for the period from December 1, 2018 through December 31, 2019. The report concluded that the Program remains reasonably designed to assess and manage a Fund’s liquidity risk, and that during the period the Program was implemented effectively.
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.

Meeting of the Board of Trustees Held on December 16–17, 2019 |
On December 16-17, 2019, the Board of Trustees (the “Board”) of Dunham Funds (the “Trust”), a Delaware business trust, met to consider, among other things, (i) the renewal of the investment advisory agreement between the Trust and Dunham & Associates Investment Counsel, Inc. (the “Adviser”) and (ii) the approval and/or renewal of the sub-advisory agreements with various sub-advisers for certain Trust series (the “Funds”). The investment advisory agreement and the sub-advisory agreements are collectively referred to as the “Advisory Agreements.” The Funds and the relevant sub-advisers with sub-advisory agreements up for approval and/or renewal include:
Fund | | Sub-Advisory Agreement |
Dunham Corporate/Government Bond Fund | | Newfleet Asset Management, LLC |
Dunham Dynamic Macro Fund | | Mellon Investments Corporation |
[Dunham Emerging Markets Stock Fund] | | [NS Partners Ltd. not up for renewal at this time] |
Dunham Floating Rate Bond Fund | | Newfleet Asset Management, LLC |
Dunham Focused Large Cap Growth Fund | | The Ithaka Group, LLC |
Dunham High Yield Bond Fund | | PineBridge Investments LLC |
Dunham International Opportunity Bond Fund | | Stone Harbor Investment Partners LP (new sub-adviser) |
Dunham International Stock Fund | | Arrowstreet Capital, Limited Partnership |
Dunham Large Cap Value Fund | | Rothschild & Co. Asset Management US |
Dunham Long/Short Credit Fund (formerly Dunham Appreciation & Income Fund) | | MetLife Investment Management, LLC |
[Dunham Monthly Distribution Fund] | | [Weiss Multi-Strategy Advisers LLC not up for renewal at this time] |
Dunham Real Estate Stock Fund | | American Assets Capital Advisers LLC (new sub-adviser) |
Dunham Small Cap Growth Fund | | Pier Capital, LLC |
[Dunham Small Cap Value Fund] | | [Ziegler Capital Management, LLC not up for renewal at this time] |
The Independent Trustees had requested and reviewed materials the Adviser and the sub-advisers provided prior to and during the meetings and had reviewed a memorandum from Fund counsel that reviewed their fiduciary duties pertaining to renewal of investment management and sub-advisory agreements and the factors they should consider in evaluating the Advisory agreements.
Among other information, the Adviser and the sub-advisers provided information to assist the Independent Trustees in assessing the nature, extent and quality of services provided, information comparing the investment performance, advisory fees and operating expense ratio of each 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 each Advisory Agreement, the Board had received sufficient information to approve the Advisory Agreements.
The Independent Trustees and Fund counsel met in executive session to consider the renewal of the Advisory Agreements. The Board also received information about the Funds throughout the year in connection with the regular quarterly Board meetings from the Adviser and various Fund sub-advisers.
Based upon its review, the Board concluded that it was in the best interests of each Fund that the Advisory Agreements be renewed. In considering the renewal of the Advisory Agreements, 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.
| I. | Investment Advisory Agreement |
Nature, Extent and Quality of Services. In considering the renewal of the investment advisory agreement with the Adviser, the Board considered the nature, extent and quality of services that the Adviser provided to the Funds, including the Adviser’s personnel and resources and the Adviser’s criteria for reviewing a sub-adviser’s performance. The Board reviewed the services the Adviser provided in serving as investment adviser, including the backgrounds of the personnel providing the investment management services and compliance staff. They also reviewed information provided regarding risk management and compliance and regulatory matters. The Board concluded that the services the Adviser provided were satisfactory.
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION (Unaudited)(Continued) |
Performance. The Board reviewed performance information the Adviser provided for Class N of each Fund compared to the performance of (a) funds in a peer group (the “Peer Group”) (which is a relevant sub-set of funds in a Fund’s Morningstar category), (b) a Morningstar category average and (c) a benchmark index for the one, five and ten year periods or since a Fund’s inception, as applicable, ended September 30, 2019. The Board considered that the Adviser had delegated day-to-day portfolio management of each Fund’s strategy to a sub -adviser and noted the ongoing oversight activities the Adviser performed, including review of returns on a relative and absolute basis, evaluation of brokerage execution quality and yearly compliance reviews. The Board concluded that the Adviser had appropriately reviewed and monitored each sub-adviser’s investment performance.
Advisory Fee. The Board reviewed each Fund’s advisory fee and expense ratio, taking into account the Fund’s average net assets, and reviewed information comparing the advisory fee and expense ratio to those of the Peer Group and a Morningstar category. The Board discussed that while the advisory fees do not necessarily have to be the lowest compared to the Peer Groups, it is their duty to evaluate whether the advisory fees are reasonable. The Board noted that the Adviser’s fees range from 0.50% to 0.65%, which, when combined with the sub-adviser fees, are generally higher than the Peer Group averages when a Fund is performing well, but in some cases lower than the Peer Group averages when a Fund is underperforming. The Board concluded that the Adviser’s fee ranges are reasonably applied based on the nature of a Fund (i.e., bond vs. equity, or alternative vs. traditional). The Board observed that currently four Funds are considered “alternative” and generally require enhanced oversight compared to more traditional asset classes. The Board discussed the level of work involved in the Adviser’s oversight of the Funds and the Adviser’s ongoing quantitative and qualitative analysis of each sub-adviser.
The Board also noted:
| ● | Dunham Corporate/Government Bond Fund: The Board noted that the advisory fee was higher than the average of the Peer Group and the Morningstar category; however, the overall expense ratio was in a reasonable range. |
| ● | Dunham Dynamic Macro Fund: The Board noted that the advisory fee was lower than the average of the Peer Group and the Morningstar category, and the overall expense ratio was in a reasonable range. |
| ● | Dunham Emerging Markets Stock Fund: The Board noted that the advisory fee was lower than the average of the Peer Group and the Morningstar category, and the overall expense ratio was in a reasonable range. |
| ● | Dunham Floating Rate Bond Fund: The Board noted that the advisory fee was in line with the average of the Peer Group and the Morningstar category, and the overall expense ratio was in a reasonable range. |
| ● | Dunham Focused Large Cap Growth Fund: The Board noted that the advisory fee was in line with the average of the Peer Group and the Morningstar category, and the overall expense ratio was in a reasonable range. |
| ● | Dunham High-Yield Bond Fund: The Board noted that the advisory fee was in line with the average of the Peer Group and the Morningstar category; and, the overall expense ratio was in a reasonable range. |
| ● | Dunham International Opportunity Bond Fund: The Board noted that the advisory fee was slightly higher than the average of the Peer Group and the Morningstar category; however, the overall expense ratio was the highest in the Peer Group and Morningstar Category due to above average other expenses. |
| ● | Dunham International Stock Fund: The Board noted that the advisory fee was in line of the Peer Group and the Morningstar category; however, the overall expense ratio was in a reasonable range. |
| ● | Dunham Large Cap Value Fund: The Board noted that the advisory fee was in line with the average of the Peer Group and the Morningstar category, and the overall expense ratio was in a reasonable range. |
| ● | Dunham Long/Short Credit Fund (formerly Dunham Appreciation & Income Fund): The Board noted that the advisory fee was lower than the average of the Peer Group and the Morningstar category, and the overall expense ratio was also lower. |
| ● | Dunham Monthly Distribution Fund: The Board noted that the advisory fee was lower than the average of the Peer Group and the Morningstar category, and the overall expense ratio was in a reasonable range. |
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION (Unaudited)(Continued) |
| ● | Dunham Real Estate Stock Fund: The Board noted that the advisory fee was in line with the average of the Peer Group and the Morningstar category, and the overall expense ratio was in a reasonable range. |
| ● | Dunham Small Cap Growth Fund: The Board noted that the advisory fee was lower than the average of the Peer Group and the Morningstar category, and the overall expense ratio was in a reasonable range. |
| ● | Dunham Small Cap Value Fund: The Board noted that the advisory fee was lower than the average of the Peer Group and the Morningstar Category, and overall expense ratio was in a reasonable range. |
In light of the nature, quality and extent of services the Adviser provided, the Board concluded that each Fund’s advisory fee was reasonable.
Economies of Scale. The Board considered the extent to which economies of scale would be realized as each Fund grows and whether fee levels reflect a reasonable sharing of economies of scale for the benefit of Fund investors. The Board noted that breakpoints may be an appropriate way for the Adviser to share its economies of scale if a Fund experiences substantial asset growth; however, the Board recognized that no Fund had yet reached an asset level where the Adviser could realize significant economies of scale. The Board observed that economies of scale will be considered in the future as Fund asset levels grow.
Profitability. The Board also reviewed the estimated profitability of the Adviser with respect to each Fund. The Board concluded that the estimated profitability of the Adviser in connection with the management of each Fund was reasonable, and at a level to adequately incentivize the Adviser to continue to provide high quality services.
Fallout Benefits. Because of its relationship with the Funds, the Adviser and its affiliates may receive certain benefits. The Board reviewed materials provided by the Adviser as to any such benefits.
| II. | Sub-Advisory Agreements |
Nature, Extent and Quality of Services. In considering the approval and/or renewal of the sub-advisory agreement, as applicable, between each Fund and the Fund’s respective sub-adviser, the Board considered the nature, extent and quality of services the sub-adviser provided under the sub-advisory agreement. The Board reviewed the services the sub-adviser provided, the background of the investment professionals servicing the Fund, and the sub-adviser’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.
Performance. The Board reviewed each Fund’s total return compared to the total returns of the Peer Group and the funds included in the Morningstar category. The Board also noted:
| ● | Dunham Corporate/Government Bond Fund: The Board noted that Newfleet Asset Management, LLC (“Newfleet”), has served as the Fund’s sub-adviser since December 10, 2004 (the inception date of the Fund). The Board reviewed the Fund’s total return compared to the total returns of the Peer Group and the funds included in the Morningstar category. The Board noted that the Fund was in line with the benchmark index over the ten-years and since Newfleet became sub-adviser and underperformed the benchmark index over the one-year and five-year time periods. The Fund was in line with Peer Group over all time periods, except since Newfleet became sub-adviser. The Adviser observed that the Fund’s underperformance can largely be attributed to the lower duration exposure of the Fund relative to the benchmark and the Peer Group. The Adviser believes that Newfleet has navigated the extreme market environment well. The Board concluded that the services Newfleet provided were satisfactory. |
| ● | Dunham Dynamic Macro Fund: The Board noted that Mellon Capital Management (“Mellon”), has served as the Fund’s sub-adviser since October 1, 2014 (while the Fund’s inception date was April 30, 2010). The Board reviewed the Fund’s total return compared to the total returns of the Peer Group and the funds included in the Morningstar category. The Board noted that the Fund was in line with the Peer Group over the one-year period and underperformed the Peer Group across the five-year period and since inception, and since Mellon became sub-adviser. The Fund outperformed or was in line with the benchmark index over all periods except over the one-year period. The Board considered that the underperformance was primarily attributable to the previous sub-adviser and the strategy that was implemented prior to 2014. The Board considered that the Fund has outperformed its Peer Group, the Morningstar category and benchmark index, since Mellon began managing the Fund’s investments. The Board concluded that the services Mellon provided were satisfactory. |
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION (Unaudited)(Continued) |
| ● | Dunham Floating Rate Bond Fund: The Board noted that Newfleet Asset Management, LLC (“Newfleet”), has served as the Fund’s sub-adviser since November 4, 2013 (the inception date of the Fund). The Board reviewed the Fund’s total return compared to the total returns of the Peer Group and the funds included in the Morningstar category. The Board noted that the Fund underperformed its benchmark index over the one-year, five-year, and since inception periods. In regard to the underperformance, the Adviser observed that principal growth in the bank loan market has been fairly anemic, and the majority of the return is derived from the coupon on the bank loans. The Adviser, however, believes that Newfleet will be able to identify and take advantage of inefficiencies in the bank loan market. The Board considered that the Adviser would continue to closely monitor performance. The Board concluded that the services Newfleet provided were satisfactory. |
| ● | Dunham Focused Large Cap Growth Fund: The Board noted that The Ithaka Group, LLC (“Ithaka”), has served as the Fund’s sub-adviser since December 8, 2011 (the inception date of the Fund), and the Fund may hold a maximum of 35 stocks. The Board reviewed the Fund’s total return compared to the total returns of the Peer Group and the funds included in the Morningstar category. The Board noted that the Fund was in line or outperformed its Peer Group over all time periods. The Board noted that the Fund underperformed its benchmark index over the one-year, and since inception periods and the Morningstar category in the one-year period. When the Fund has historically outperformed its Peer Group, the Morningstar category average, and benchmark index, it has done so by a significant amount. The Board concluded that the services Ithaka provided were satisfactory. |
| ● | Dunham High Yield Bond Fund: The Board noted that PineBridge Investments LLC (“PineBridge”), has served as the Fund’s sub-adviser since July 1, 2017 (while the Fund’s inception date is July 1, 2005). The Board reviewed the Fund’s total return compared to the total returns of the Peer Group and the funds included in the Morningstar category. The Board noted that the Fund underperformed its benchmark index across the one-year, five-year, and ten-year periods, and since PineBridge became sub-adviser. The Adviser observed that the underperformance can largely be attributed to security selection within the energy sector in the last year. The Fund has outperformed or was in line with the Morningstar category and its Peer Group in all periods. The Board concluded that the services PineBridge provided were satisfactory. |
| ● | Dunham International Opportunity Bond Fund: The Board noted that Stone Harbor Investment Partners LP (“Stone Harbor”) would replace Allianz Global Investors US LLC as sub-adviser to the Fund due to underperformance. Stone Harbor, with approximately $20 billion assets under management, is a global institutional fixed income investment manager that specializes in credit and asset allocation strategies. For the Fund, the firm would focus on non-US issues and continue to invest in derivatives and sectors such as emerging market corporate and high-yield bonds, while aiming to reduce currency risk and volatility. Investment allocations would include investment grade and below investment grade fixed-income securities in both developed and emerging markets. The Board concluded that the services that Stone Harbor would provide should be satisfactory. |
| ● | Dunham International Stock Fund: The Board noted that Arrowstreet Capital (“Arrowstreet”), has served as the Fund’s sub-adviser since July 1, 2008 (while the Fund’s inception date is December 10, 2004). The Board reviewed the Fund’s total return compared to the total returns of the Peer Group and the funds included in the Morningstar category. The Board noted that the Fund underperformed the Peer Group average, benchmark and Morningstar category average over the one-year period. However, the Fund outperformed or was in line with its Peer Group average, benchmark index and Morningstar category average over the five-year and ten-year periods and since Arrowstreet became sub-adviser. The Board considered that the Adviser would continue to closely monitor performance. The Board concluded that the services Arrowstreet provided were satisfactory. |
| ● | Dunham Large Cap Value Fund: The Board noted that Rothschild Asset Management (“Rothschild”), has served as the Fund’s sub-adviser since July 1, 2015 (while the Fund’s inception date is December 10, 2004). The Board reviewed the Fund’s total return compared to the total returns of the Peer Group and the funds included in the Morningstar category. The Board noted that the Fund was in line with its benchmark and outperformed the Peer Group and Morningstar Category for the one-year period. The Fund underperformed its benchmark index, Peer Group and Morningstar Category over the five-year period and the benchmark index over the ten-year period, and since Rothschild became sub-adviser. The Adviser observed that the Fund’s recent performance was strong and the performance periods that include dates prior to July 2015 include performance of the previous sub-adviser. The Board concluded that the services Rothschild provided were satisfactory. |
| ● | Dunham Long/Short Credit Fund (formerly Dunham Appreciation & Income Fund): The Board noted that MetLife Investment Management, LLC (“MetLife”), has served as the Fund’s sub-adviser since July 1, |
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION (Unaudited)(Continued) |
2018 (while the Fund’s inception date is December 4, 2004). The Board reviewed the Fund’s total return compared to the total returns of the Peer Group and the funds included in the Morningstar category. The Board noted that the Fund underperformed its benchmark index over the one-year period and since Newfleet became the sub-adviser. The Fund outperformed its Peer Group and the Morningstar category average over all time periods. The Board concluded that the services MetLife provided were satisfactory.
| ● | Dunham Real Estate Stock Fund: The Board noted that American Assets Capital Advisers, LLC (“AACA”) would replace Barings as sub-adviser to Fund due to Barings exiting the publicly traded REIT business. AACA, with approximately $450 million assets under management, is an active manager that runs a long/short strategy for a mutual fund and a long only strategy for its separately managed account business. The four key components that define its overall strategy are: (i) an emphasis on sectors; (ii) sectors that have limited suppliers and limited supply; (iii) sectors with high switching costs for tenants; and (iv) secular demand drivers for tenants. The Board concluded that the services that AACA would provide should be satisfactory. |
| ● | Dunham Small Cap Growth Fund: The Board noted that Pier Capital, LLC (“Pier”), has served as the Fund’s sub-adviser since December 10, 2004 (the inception date of the Fund). The Board reviewed the Fund’s total return compared to the total returns of the Peer Group and the funds included in the Morningstar category. The Board noted that the Fund underperformed its Peer Group average, Morningstar category average, and benchmark index in the one-year period. However, the Fund outperformed or was in line with the Peer Group average, Morningstar category average, and benchmark across all other periods. The Adviser observed that this headwind for the Fund was the exposure to information technology stocks in the latter half of the one-year period. The Board concluded that the services Pier provided were satisfactory. |
Sub-Advisory Fees and Economies of Scale. The Board considered each Fund’s sub-advisory fee schedule and noted the fees charged to comparable portfolios, if any, that the sub-adviser managed. The Board noted that the fee schedule was negotiated between the Adviser and each sub-adviser, an unaffiliated third party.
The Board considered the base fee paid to each sub-adviser when the performance of a Fund is equal to that of a specific index plus or minus a “null” zone. The Board also reviewed the operation of the performance fee and the impact on fees and expenses based on various performance results. The Board recognized the unique nature of a performance fee, which results in higher fees when a sub-adviser delivers results, and how performance fees should be integrated into their analysis. The Board noted information that the Adviser provided regarding the specific benchmark index used to compute each sub-adviser’s performance fee, how performance adjustments are calculated, and why the N-share class of each Fund is used for performance calculations.
The Board confirmed its belief that performance fees help ensure that any significant fee adjustments are attributable to a sub-adviser’s skill, rather than to random performance fluctuations, and the performance fee aligns a sub-adviser’s interest with those of Fund shareholders. The Board concluded that each sub-adviser’s fees were in a reasonable range.
The Board reviewed the relevance of economies of scale in the context of a sub-adviser that receives a performance based fee. The Board agreed that the Adviser had successfully negotiated a favorable base fee with each sub-adviser, and that reductions based on asset growth, when coupled with the possibility of fee reductions based on performance, could hinder the Adviser’s ability to attract top sub-advisory talent. The Board agreed that pursuing breakpoints with any of the sub-advisers would not be in the best interests of Fund shareholders at this time.
Profitability and Fallout Benefits. The Board considered information provided regarding each sub-adviser’s estimated profitability from providing sub-advisory services to its respective Fund. The Board noted that the sub-advisory fee schedule was negotiated between the Adviser and each sub-adviser, an unaffiliated third party. The Board reviewed materials provided as to any additional benefits each sub-adviser receives.
Conclusion. Based on all of the information considered and the conclusions reached, the Board determined that the terms of the Advisory Agreements for each Fund are fair and reasonable, and that the approval and/or continuation of the Advisory Agreements, as applicable, are in the best interests of each Fund.
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION (Unaudited)(Continued) |
Meeting of the Board of Trustees Held on March 24, 2020
On March 24, 2020, the Board of Trustees (the “Board “) of Dunham Funds (the “Trust”), a Delaware business trust, met to consider, among other things, a new sub-advisory agreement (the “Sub-Advisory Agreement”) with Ziegler Capital Management, LLC (“ZCM”) on behalf of the Dunham Small Cap Value Fund (the “Fund”). The Sub-Advisory Agreement would take effect upon the change of control of ZCM when 1251 Capital Group, Inc. (“1251). Capital”) completed a transaction with Stifel Financial Corp. (“Stifel”) pursuant to which a subsidiary of 1251 Capital, 1251 Asset Management Platform, LLC (“1251 Asset Management”), acquired the equity interests of ZCM from Stifel.
The Independent Trustees had requested and reviewed materials that Dunham & Associates Investment Counsel, Inc. (the “Adviser”) and ZCM provided prior to and during the meeting and had reviewed a memorandum from Fund counsel that reviewed their fiduciary duties pertaining to the Sub-Advisory Agreement and the factors they should consider in evaluating the Sub-Advisory Agreement.
Among other information, the Adviser and ZCM provided information to assist the Independent Trustees in assessing the nature, extent and quality of services 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. The Independent Trustees and Fund counsel also met to consider 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.
| IV. | Sub-Advisory Agreements |
Nature, Extent and Quality of Services. In considering the approval of the Sub-Advisory Agreement between the Fund and ZCM, the Board considered the nature, extent and quality of services ZCM would provide under the Sub-Advisory Agreement. The Board reviewed the background of the investment professionals that would service the Fund, and the sub-adviser’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 noted in particular that the entire ZCM investment team, including all team members providing advisory services to the Fund, will remain in place and continue to provide the same investment advisory services to the Fund. The investment discipline, process, tools and models also will remain unchanged. The Board further considered that there would be no changes to the ZCM compliance team as a result of the transaction. The Board concluded that the services ZCM would provide should be satisfactory.
Performance. The Board reviewed the Fund’s total return compared to the total returns of the Peer Group and the funds included in the Morningstar category.
The Board also noted in particular that since ZCM and its predecessor entity began managing the Fund, the Fund has performed in line with or outperformed its Peer Group, the Morningstar category and the benchmark index. The Board concluded that the services ZCM provided were 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 ZCM, an unaffiliated third party.
The Board considered the base fee paid to ZCM when the performance of a Fund is equal to that of a specific index plus or minus a “null ” zone. The Board also reviewed the operation of the performance fee and the impact on fees and expenses based on various performance results. They discussed the unique nature of the performance fee, which results in higher fees when a sub-adviser delivers results, and how performance fees should be integrated into their analysis.
The Board confirmed its belief that performance fees help ensure that any significant fee adjustments are attributable to a sub-adviser’s skill, rather than to random performance fluctuations, and the performance fee aligns a sub-adviser’s interest with those of Fund shareholders.
The Board also noted in particular that the Fund’s sub-advisory fee schedule will remain the same after the change of control of ZCM on or about March 31, 2020.
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION (Unaudited)(Continued) |
The Board concluded that ZCM’s fees were in a reasonable range.
The Board reviewed the relevance of economies of scale in the context of a sub-adviser that receives a performance based fee. The Board agreed that the Adviser had successfully negotiated a favorable base fee with ZCM, and that reductions based on asset growth, when coupled with the possibility of fee reductions based on performance, could hinder the Adviser’s ability to attract top sub-advisory talent. The Board agreed that pursuing breakpoints with the sub-adviser would not be in the best interests of Fund shareholders at this time.
Profitability and Fallout Benefits. The Board considered any information provided regarding ZCM’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 ZCM, an unaffiliated third party. The Board reviewed materials provided as to any additional benefits ZCM receives.
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.
