Dear Fellow Shareholders:
This year, the resiliency of corporations shined, leading some to believe we are on the road to recovery. In addition, we find ourselves with supply unable to keep up with demand, coupled with rapidly rising inflation, while interest rates are still near record lows. The equity markets have had another strong year, and the average investor has seen their wealth grow as opposed to shrink. While many of these characteristics may paint an optimistic backdrop, some areas of the market meaningfully suffered. For example, investment-grade fixed income, particularly long-term U.S. Treasury bonds experienced a difficult year.
Themes we have heard many of you ask about more than usual over the past year were in regard to high equity valuations and the threats of inflation. These can both go hand-in-hand, as rising inflation is often combatted with significant increases in interest rates, which in-turn have historically adversely affected equity valuations. While there are pockets of the equity markets that have not seen the distressing valuations that make the headlines, those areas with relatively lower valuations are generally not accessed without increasing risk. For example, emerging markets equities have significantly lagged the average developed country over the past year. Some of these countries are home to competitive corporations that have boasted strong fundamentals, but their valuations are significantly lower due to the concerns that a risk-off sentiment amongst investors may impact companies in emerging markets, even more than in the U.S. or in other developed countries. Therefore, although many investors see the dispersion and also believe it to be outsized, the great divide has not been remedied because so many believe that a fear of risk may re-emerge.
While we believe that rising inflation may be met with rising interest rates, we also believe that interest rates will remain “low” when considered in a historical context, as a 1.6 percent yield on the 10-year U.S. Treasury bond is notably low. However, even small increases in interest rates can result in significant adverse performance in the bond markets, as the 10-year U.S. Treasury bond plummeted over 7 percent in the first 5 months of the fiscal year alone as interest rates slightly increased. Our belief that interest rates may continue to rise over the long-term makes us even more excited about the potential prospects of the other Dunham Fund choices we make available to each of you within the fixed income space.
These perspectives are not meant to build the case against having optimism for the equity markets or for the bond markets, but instead, highlight the importance of diversification and discipline. At Dunham, we receive questions from many of you about our views on many of the themes addressed above. If there is an underlying message that I hope you take away from all of our responses, it is that it is crucial to maintain diversification and to remain disciplined and methodical, especially when many other investors are not. We believe we have the resources available to navigate the uncertain markets that lay ahead.
I continue to personally invest alongside you and I remain confident that we at Dunham have the tools and the discipline to succeed as our economy recovers. You can continue to rely on us 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,

Dunham Corporate/Government Bond Fund (Unaudited)
Message from the Sub-Adviser (Newfleet Asset Management, LLC)
Asset Class Recap
Investment- grade corporate bonds and U.S. government bonds, as measured by the Bloomberg Barclays Aggregate Bond Index, fell marginally over the fiscal year. As COVID cases slowed in the second fiscal quarter, beginning February 1, 2021, and the global economy began to stabilize, the 10-year U.S. Treasury yield steadily ticked up, reaching a high of 1.70 percent in May. While the Federal Reserve’s bond-buying program has largely kept the economy afloat in this time of distress, the influx of capital into the economy led to heightened inflation. Bond prices tend to fall in a rising interest rate environment, with longer-dated, investment-grade bonds typically more affected than other fixed income asset classes. While interest rates came down from their high in May, continued reports of historically high inflation in the most recent fiscal quarter caused an uptick in interest rates, with the 10-year U.S. Treasury yield hovering around 1.70 percent in October. This led to a disappointing end to the fiscal year, as the majority of fixed income asset classes finished in negative territory. Despite broader fixed income markets finishing in negative territory, bonds that were less exposed to interest rate risk, such as high-yield bonds and floating rate bonds, ended the year up. High-yield bonds, as measured by the ICE BofA U.S. Cash Pay High Yield Index, outpaced the broader fixed income market by a wide margin, rising 10.6 percent over the fiscal year. Conversely, investment-grade corporate bonds and U.S. government bonds finished the year down 0.5 percent.
Allocation Review
Nearly two-thirds of broad U.S. investment-grade bonds in the benchmark index are represented by Treasury and government agency bonds. Therefore, most of the performance of the benchmark index is dictated by how those U.S. government-related bonds perform, and far less is dependent on the performance of corporate bonds and non-agency mortgage-backed securities. Over the fiscal year, U.S. government bonds, which make up 37.5 percent of the benchmark, fell 2.5 percent. The Sub -Adviser benefitted from being significantly underweight in U.S. government bonds, representing 20.1 percent of the Fund, while also seeing contributions from credit selection, as the Fund’s U.S. government bond exposure fell 2.1 percent in comparison. The next largest weighting in the benchmark is investment-grade corporate bonds, representing 26.8 percent. The Sub-Adviser’s relative underweight, representing 22.2 percent of the Fund, contributed to relative performance, as well as a renowned credit selection. The sector that contributed the most to performance over the fiscal year, which is not represented in the benchmark, was high-yield bonds. The Fund’s 10.4 percent exposure to the sector contributed to relative performance, however, credit selection detracted marginally. While no sector detracted from performance, the Fund’s relative underweight to sectors such as Yankee certificates of deposit detracted marginally from relative performance, albeit not enough to offset the superior credit selection.
Holdings Insights
The largest contributor to Fund performance over the fiscal year was a high-yield bond, Transocean Guardian Ltd. 5.88% Due 1/15/2024 (893800AA0) (holding weight*: 0.03 percent). Transocean Guardian Ltd. is one of the world’s largest offshore drilling contractors. The Transocean bond rose following the rebound in the energy sector, as surging oil prices boosted sales. Over the fiscal year, the Transocean bond rose 69.3 percent. Also within the energy sector, Alliance Resource Operating Partners L.P. 7.5% Due 5/1/2025 (01879NAA3) (holding weight*: 0.16 percent, contributed meaningfully to Fund performance. Alliance Resource Operating Partners is a natural resources company that specializes in coal production, with major oil & gas interests in strategic producing regions across the U.S. Like Transocean, Alliance benefitted from the rise in oil prices. The company also has not reinstated a major dividend, allowing the company’s cash reserves to build. Over the fiscal year, the Alliance Resource Operating Partners L.P. gained 56.1 percent. Within the investment-grade corporate bond sector, the EPR Properties 4.75% bond Due 12/15/2026 (26884UAC3) (holding weight*: 0.26 percent), rose 23.3 percent over the fiscal year. EPR Properties, a real estate investment trust, rose following a ratings upgrade, pushing the issuer into the investment-grade classification.
The largest detractor to Fund performance over the fiscal year was an investment-grade bond, V.F. Corporation 2.4% Due 4/23/2025 (918204BA5) (holding weight*: not held). V.F. Corporation is a global apparel brand focusing on lifestyle apparel and footwear. The V.F. Corporation bond began to fall, starting in February of 2021, in tandem with rising interest rates. The bond was sold on 3/12/2021 for liquidity purposes, coinciding with a multi- month peak in the 10 -year U.S. Treasury yield, further hurting performance. The V.F. Corporation bond lost 1.2 percent between the fiscal year start date, 11/1/2020, and 3/12/2021. Another detractor from relative performance over the fiscal year was a municipal bond, State of California 7.6% Due 11/1/2040 (13063BJC7) (holding weight*: not held). Like other longer-dated bonds, the State of California municipal bond sold- off in the second fiscal quarter, as interest rates climbed. The Sub-Adviser fully exited the State of California municipal bond on 3/19/2021, after realizing a loss of 6.9 percent. Within the high-yield sector, Telesat LLC 6.5% Due 10/15/2027 (87952VAM8) (holding weight*: not held), detracted from relative performance. Telesat, one of the largest global satellite operators in the world, fell after it was reported the company increased leverage to fund a new satellite constellation plan, putting other debt obligations at risk. The Sub-Adviser fully exited the Telesat bond on 9/9/2021, realizing an 11.9 percent loss since the beginning of the fiscal year.
Sub-Adviser Outlook
The Sub-Adviser believes that the backdrop for fixed income may remain positive as the market continues to acclimate to the ebbs and flows of COVID, while broadening the dissemination and accessibility of vaccines. Developments in COVID variants could be worth monitoring as well, as the numerous COVID variants continue to disrupt multiple industries, including logistics. Persistent COVID cases have led to bottlenecks in the supply chain, resulting in rising input costs and extended delivery times, with some deliveries taking months to complete. Investors will look for clarity regarding the various supply chain bottlenecks from central banks, governments, and other industry leaders. The Sub-Adviser believes issuer selection and allocation will be imperative moving forward, as spreads appear to be tight across most fixed income asset classes.

Dunham Floating Rate Bond Fund (Unaudited)
Message from the Sub-Adviser (PineBridge Investments, LLC)
Asset Class Recap
Fixed income markets throughout the fiscal quarter have been plagued with heightened attention to interest rate risk adversely affecting many duration sensitive asset classes. Over the fiscal year the 10-year Treasury yield increased 68 basis points to 1.55 percent, while the Bloomberg U.S. Aggregate Bond Index declined 0.5 percent. Although headlines have painted the picture of the doom of the bond market and uniform rise in rates, the rise was largely concentrated in the longer end of curve. In fact, yields one year and shorter ended the fiscal year lower than where they began. Bank loans are generally stated as a spread over LIBOR, a short-term rate that has historically been more akin to a short-term Treasury yield. Three-month LIBOR fluctuated between 11 basis points and 25 basis points during the fiscal year ended October 31, 2021. After accounting for the average spread imposed on bank loans, the average yield on the 100 largest bank loans, as measured by the S&P LSTA Leveraged Loan 100 Index, declined from 4.79 percent at the start of the fiscal year to as low as 3.59 percent in in mid-June, until it settled at 3.79 percent at the end of October. Despite the decline in yield, bank loans put in an impressive fiscal year as strong investor demand for floating rate investments, robust new-issue supply, and a low level of defaults created a constructive backdrop for the loan market. Over the most recent fiscal year bank loans, as measured by the S&P LSTA Leveraged Loan 100 Index, increased 7.1 percent, underperforming both traditional high-yield bonds and collateralized loan obligations. Over the same time periods high-yield bonds, as measured by the ICE Bank of America U.S. Cash Pay High Yield Index, increased 10.6 percent, and collateralized loan obligations, as measured by the Palmer Square CLO Debt Index, rose 10.7 percent.
Allocation Review
Although the Fund is predominately represented by bank loans, the Fund had an approximate 4 percent allocated to traditional high-yield bonds during the first eleven months of the fiscal year, but that exposure was increased to approximately 8 percent in the final month of the most recent fiscal quarter. High-yield bonds in general, as measured by the ICE BofA Merrill Lynch U.S. Cash Pay High-Yield Index, increased 10.6 percent since the start of the fiscal year and 0.4 percent in the most recent fiscal quarter ended October 31, 2021. Through the first three quarters of the fiscal year, this exposure strongly contributed to Fund performance, albeit to a smaller degree than the index performance would indicate given the higher quality exposure within the Fund. The index includes all credit qualities, including bonds rated CCC and lower, while the Fund’s primary high yield exposure is concentrated in bonds rated BB and B. In regard to sector exposures, the Fund’s largest overweights through September 30, 2021, were to the forest products and containers industry and to the healthcare industry, while the largest underweights were to the information technology and financial services industries. The overweight to the healthcare industry made it the largest weighting in the Fund, while the information technology industry was the largest weighting in the benchmark index.
On October 1, 2021, the Sub- Adviser was changed, resulting in larger than average portfolio turnover during the final month of the fiscal year. Not only did the sector exposure meaningfully change, the Fund also added exposure to collateralized loan obligations (CLO) which represents the largest off benchmark exposure within the Fund. CLOs, which own more than half of the global loan market, are actively managed securities backed primarily by a pool of 150 to 300 senior secured syndicated loans and bonds. To close the fiscal year, the Fund’s largest sector overweight was the business equipment and services sector while the largest underweight was to the electronics sector. The Fund did not have any exposure to derivatives during the six-month period that meaningfully affected performance.
Holdings Insights
Over the fiscal year, the Sub-Adviser increased the exposure to industries that it believed benefit from the re-opening of the economy, such as gaming, and lodging, which have all rallied as COVID cases declined and vaccines became more available around the globe. A loan in the portfolio that benefited from the reopening was the Playa Resorts Holding BV Floating Rate Due 04/27/2024 (BL2699181) (holding weight*: 0.89 percent). Playa Resorts is an owner, operator, and developer of all-inclusive resorts in Mexico and the Caribbean. Playa Resorts benefitted from the pent-up demand to travel, as many individuals begin to take vacations now that many COVID lockdown measures have been lifted. Over the fiscal year, this loan appreciated approximately 15.8 percent. Another loan within this sector that contributed to Fund performance was the Golden Nugget, LLC Floating Rate Due 10/04/2023 (BL3294289) (holding weight*: 0.56 percent), a Nevada-based casino owner and operator, which increased approximately 14.7 percent over the fiscal year. The energy sector also benefited from the increase in travel during the fiscal year as well as the surging price of oil. Over the fiscal year, the price of a barrel of West Texas Intermediate crude oil increased to $83.57 from $35.79. A credit within the Fund that benefited from this backdrop was Lucid Energy Group II Borrower, LLC Floating Rate Due 02/18/2025 (BL2627604) (holding weight*: 0.58 percent), the largest gas processor in the Delaware Basin and the largest private processor in the Permian Basin. During the fiscal year, this credit increased 13 percent.
Detractors from positive Fund performance over the fiscal year included the Rodan & Fields LLC Floating Rate Due 06/07/2025 (BL2709733) (holding weight**: 0.26 percent). Rodan and Fields, a multilevel marketing skincare company, encountered a series of headwinds during the fiscal period in the form of two class-action lawsuits. The first class action has been ongoing since 2018 as consumers complained that a company product caused irritation, swelling, and other side effects. The second class action was filed in the most recent fiscal quarter filed by the company’s insurance provider. The insurance provider alleges that the cosmetic company broke state and federal laws through its product distribution, which means they should not have to pay for the firm’s legal defense or pay out any claims for the original class action. Prior to being sold in mid-October, this loan appreciated approximately 3.6 percent over the fiscal year, detracting from the Fund’s relative performance. Another loan that detracted from Fund performance was U.S. Farathane, LLC Floating Rate Due 12/23/2024 (BL3566975) (holding weight**: 0.51 percent), a company that designs and manufactures highly-engineered plastic fabricated products for the automotive, consumer goods, electronics, and heavy truck industries. This loan declined approximately 1.1 percent before being sold in mid-October in reaction to a ratings downgrade. The rating agency attributed the downgrade to the company’s weakening liquidity due to its lower margins and negative free cash flow.
Sub-Adviser Outlook
The Sub-Adviser is optimistic for the rest of 2021 and the following year as it believes that the loan market may remain attractive from both a fundamental and technical perspective. Though likely more muted than the first two quarters of the year, the third-quarter earnings season points to a continuation of year-over-year gains, further supporting the low default environment. Although the market reached record levels of loan issuance during the most recent fiscal quarter, the Sub-Adviser believes that the market may remain robust and demand may continue for floating rate bonds amid concerns of rising interest rates. Moving forward, the Sub-Adviser is confident that the asset class may continue to offer an attractive risk and return profile relative to other income-generating products and may provide stability in times of market volatility given less sensitivity to rate volatility and inherent rising-rate protection.

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. Investors cannot invest directly in an index or benchmark.
The S&P/LSTA U.S. Leveraged Loan 100 Index is designed to reflect the performance of the largest facilities in the leveraged loan market. Investors cannot invest directly in an index or benchmark.
The Morningstar Bank Loan Category is generally representative of mutual funds that primarily invest in floating-rate bank loans instead of bonds. These bank loans generally offer interest payments that typically float above a common short-term benchmark such as the London interbank offered rate, or LIBOR.
As disclosed in the Trust’s latest registration statement, the Fund’s total annual operating expenses, including cost of underlying funds, are 1.14% for Class N, 1.89% for Class C and 1.39% for Class A. Class A shares are subject to a sales load of 4.50% and a deferred sales charge of up to 0.75%. The performance data quoted here represents past performance, which is not indicative of future results. Current performance may be lower or higher than the performance data quoted. The investment return and NAV will fluctuate, so that an investor’s shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. Total returns are calculated assuming reinvestment of all dividends and capital gains distributions, if any. The returns do not reflect the deductions of taxes a shareholder would pay on the redemption of Fund shares or Fund distributions.

Dunham High-Yield Bond Fund (Unaudited)
Message from the Sub-Adviser (PineBridge Investments, LLC)
Asset Class Recap
High-yield bond spreads tightened early in the fiscal year as investors cheered clarity around the results of the U.S. presidential election, positive news flow on vaccine development and distribution, and ongoing optimism and passing of additional fiscal stimulus provided confidence of a more robust recovery in 2021. Volatility surfaced in January but high-yield bonds were still able to eke out modest gains to close the first fiscal quarter given the continued vaccine rollout, better than anticipated corporate earnings, and further optimism around additional fiscal stimulus due to Democrats gaining full control of Congress. High-yield bonds continued to rally in the second and third fiscal quarter as better-than-anticipated earnings overshadowed a sharp rise in inflation and a more assertive than anticipated tone from the Federal Open Market Committee. In the most recent fiscal quarter, high-yield bonds initially declined as Treasury rates traded higher and spreads traded wider amid ongoing growth concerns and the prospect of Fed tapering in the first quarter of 2022 or even sooner. High-yield bonds rebounded in the latter half of August as Jerome Powell’s Jackson Hole speech reiterated his tone from July’s FOMC minutes but was less hawkish than comments made by other Fed officials earlier in the month. Performance for the final two months of the fiscal quarter was relatively flat for the asset class, as investors continued to balance improving corporate earnings with ongoing concerns over global growth and the prospect of higher inflation that could trigger a move toward less accommodative monetary policies from the Fed and other central banks. Investors also had to contend with Treasury rates that traded higher on the back of concerns that inflation may not be as transitory as some had hoped. For the fiscal year ended October 31, 2021, high-yield bonds, as measured by the ICE BofA U.S. Cash Pay High-Yield Index, rose 10.6 percent, outperforming the broad bond market, as measured by the Bloomberg Barclays Aggregate Bond Index, which fell 0.5 percent.
Allocation Review
Over the most recent fiscal year, security selection strongly contributed to Fund performance. Credit selection within the energy, capital goods, and consumer cyclical sectors were the largest contributors to positive Fund performance, while the credit selection within the REIT sector and the electric sector detracted. The Fund’s sector allocation also contributed to Fund performance over the fiscal year, albeit to a smaller degree than security selection. From a sector allocation perspective, an overweight to the transportation and energy sector, coupled with an underweight to the communications sector, positively contributed to Fund performance, while the allocation to cash and the overweight to the basic industry sector detracted from Fund performance.
Holdings Insights
The largest contributor to relative Fund performance over the fiscal quarter was the Fund’s exposure to the energy sector. Many credits within this sector performed well as a barrel of West Texas Intermediate surged over 130 percent a barrel and natural gas jumped to a seven-year high. However, the Fund’s exposure within this sector surpassed that of the index due to the Sub-Adviser’s selectivity in this space. One of the prominent performing credits over the fiscal quarter was the PBF Holding Company LLC / PBF Finance Corporation 6% Due 02/15/2028 (69318FAJ7) (holding weight*: 0.45 percent. PBF Holding Company LLC, is one of the largest independent petroleum refiners and suppliers of unbranded transportation fuels, heating oil, petrochemical feed stocks, lubricants, and other petroleum products in the United States. This credit surged 43.4 percent over the fiscal year in spite of a ratings downgrade, thanks to higher 12-month crack-spread strips and meaningful diesel and jet fuel demand. Another strong performer over the fiscal year was Apache Corporation 4.75%, Due 04/15/2043 (037411BA2) (holding weight*: 0.40 percent), a global independent energy company that explores, develops, and produces natural gas, which increased 15.6 percent since being added to the Fund in early December.
The Fund also received strong positive contributions from the more economically sensitive consumer cyclical sector, the largest sector weighting in both the Fund and index. The Ford Motor Company 4.75% Due 01/15/2043 (345370CQ1) (holding weight*: 1.20 percent) was the largest holding within the Fund and was one of the best performing credit during the fiscal year. The Ford bond increased 25 percent thanks to a surprisingly strong earnings report and a raise to their 2021 outlook. As concerns of the highly contagious delta variant subside during the latter half of the fiscal year, credits whose business models were inhibited by the pandemic and subsequent lockdowns traded higher amid optimism that the removal of restrictions could spur economic activity. This included American Airlines, Inc. 11.75%, Due 07/15/2025 (023771S58) (holding weight*: 1.11 percent), a major American airline, which jumped 39.4 percent. Another credit that was positively affected by this backdrop was Dave & Buster’s Inc. 7.625% Due 11/01/2025 (23833NAH7) (holding weight*: 0.45 percent), an American restaurant and entertainment business, as it rose 17.4 percent.
Although the Energy sector as a whole strongly contributed to Fund performance, some credits from this sector detracted from Fund performance. For example, Buckeye Partners, L.P. 4.5%, Due 03/01/2028 (118230AU5) (holding weight*: 0.71 percent), an independent pipeline common carrier of refined petroleum products, rose 8.3 percent over the fiscal year, detracting from the Fund’s relative performance. Other detractors from Fund performance during the fiscal period came from the communications sector. This includes Telesat Canada / Telesat, LLC 6.5%, Due 10/15/2027 (87952VAM8) (holding weight*: 0.25 percent), a Canadian satellite communications company. This credit fell 12.6 percent over the fiscal year amid talks to raise $2.5 billion in loans to complete financing of a proposed low-earth orbit satellite network prior to the company’s initial public offering later in 2021. Also, from the communications sector, CSC Holdings, LLC 4.625%, Due 12/01/2030 (126307BD8) (holding weight*: 0.52 percent), one of the largest cable operators in the United States, declined 2.9 percent since being added to the Fund in August.
Sub-Adviser Outlook
The Sub-Adviser believes that economic growth has led to improved fundamentals for many high-yield bond issuers. It also believes that the demand for credit may remain robust with markets quickly absorbing elevated new issuance, and governments and central banks will likely pursue supportive fiscal and monetary policies. With that being said, the Sub-Adviser is aware of signs of slowing growth in the U.S., persistent inflation, and U.S. Treasury rates increasing markedly, with overnight index swap forwards now pricing in at least one, if not two, Fed rate hikes in 2022. Against that backdrop, while U.S. Treasury yields likely have bottomed from a secular perspective, the magnitude of any rise in yields seems manageable due to the Sub-Adviser’s expectation of cresting global growth. With these offsetting forces in place, the Sub-Adviser anticipated negative real rates would continue to incentivize investors to reach for yield, and they believe the high-yield bond asset class likely remains an attractive option relative to other fixed-income alternatives.

Dunham International Opportunity Bond Fund (Unaudited)
Message from the Sub-Adviser (Stone Harbor Investment Partners LP)
Asset Class Recap
The fiscal year was broadly unfavorable for both domestic and foreign fixed income. This was primarily attributable to the yield on the U.S. 10-Year Treasury rising from 0.87 percent at the beginning of the fiscal year to 1.55 percent at the end of October 2021. While a 0.7 percent increase may not seem like a large surge in rates over a 12-month period, when durations are near 6 years, then this increase in rates translates to an approximate 4.2 percent principal decline. Therefore, it is not surprising that U.S. investment-grade bonds, as measured by the Bloomberg Barclays U.S. Aggregate Bond Index, dropped 0.5 percent and foreign bonds, as measured by the Bloomberg Barclays Global Bond ex U.S. Index, dropped 1.3 percent during the 12-month period ended October 31, 2021. Clearly, the yields on U.S. and foreign bonds mitigated a meaningful amount of the price erosion from rising yields. This was more apparent when considering foreign high-yield bonds, as measured by the Bloomberg Barclays Pan-European High-Yield Total Return Index, and emerging market debt, as measured by the Bloomberg Barclays Emerging Markets USD Aggregate Total Return Index, ended the 12-month period in positive territory, as their higher yields offset the somewhat dampened principal declines. During the fiscal year, foreign high-yield bonds and emerging market debt returned 9.2 percent and 3.0 percent, respectively.
Allocation Review
The Fund continued to hold an approximate 56 percent allocation to emerging market debt and 44 percent allocation to developed markets. Similarly, the Fund also maintained an approximate 53 percent allocation to high-yield bonds. The Sub-Adviser also maintained an overall duration that was 1 year lower than the benchmark index, close to 7.1 years instead of the benchmark index duration of 8.1 years. As rates increased overall during the fiscal year and emerging markets debt and high-yield bonds both strongly outperformed, this positioning in the Fund contributed meaningfully to performance. Within the emerging markets debt space, the Sub-Adviser’s security selection made it one of the strongest performing exposures within the Fund, on both a relative and an absolute performance basis. This was also true when looking at the final fiscal quarter in isolation, as the emerging markets corporate debt exposure in the Fund was the only positively performing bond sector. During the fiscal year, the Fund did not hold any derivatives that materially affected performance.
Holdings Insights
One of the largest overall detractors from Fund performance during the fiscal year was the Australia Government Bond 1.25% 5/21/2032 (BKDRWH8) (holding weight*: 0.82 percent). A majority of the decline occurred in the final fiscal quarter, when the Australia-dollar denominated government bond decreased 8.2 percent. During the 12 -month period ended October 31, 2021, the bond declined 10.2 percent. The Australian dollar appreciated approximately 7.0 percent against the U.S. dollar during the fiscal year, which helped to offset some of the negative return. Conversely, one of the strongest performers in the Fund during the fiscal year was Metinvest BV 7.75% 10/17/2029 (591555AF4) (holding weight*: 2.07 percent), a metals and mining company based in Ukraine. During the 12-month period, the Metinvest bond increased 22.2 percent. Some of the most volatile performers during the fiscal year included two firms from Southeast Asia. Specifically, the Fund’s positions in LMIRT Capital Pte Ltd. 7.25% 6/19/2024 (BKDQ7D6) (holding weight*: 0.57 percent), an Indonesian real estate trust, and Theta Capital Pte Ltd. 8.125% 1/22/2025 (BKP8ZV4) (holding weight*: 0.73 percent), a real estate owner and operator domiciled in Singapore, appreciated and then declined multiple percentage points each fiscal quarter, as real estate in the region made headlines due to a large developer out of China struggled to pay its debt. After declining 2.3 percent and 4.2 percent, respectively in the third fiscal quarter, LMIRT Capital and Theta Capital increased 4.2 percent and 8.6 percent, respectively, during the fourth fiscal quarter. When looking at the fiscal year as a whole, LMIRT Capital and Theta Capital returned 18.4 percent and 25.8 percent, respectively.
As a spotlight was shone on property developers in China during the latter half of the fiscal year, the Fund’s exposure to China SCE Group Holdings Ltd. 7.375% 5/2/2025 (G21190AB2) (holding weight*: 0.77 percent), a residential property developer, and Wanda Properties International Company Ltd. 7.25% 1/29/2024 (G9429CAA8) (holding weight*: 1.71 percent), a multinational conglomerate based in China, struggled during the volatile period. For example, China SCE plummeted 10.4 percent during the fourth fiscal quarter, while Wanda Properties eked out a gain of 0.5 percent. As China SCE was directly exposed to the issues in the residential sector, it was hit the hardest, but as a conglomerate, Wanda Properties’ multiple business lines and global footprint helped to dilute the impact. When looking at the fiscal year as a whole, China SCE was among the worst performers for the Fund, declining 7.2 percent. Wanda Properties managed to provide a positive return of 4.4 percent for the 12-month period, but it was primarily attributable to its 7.25 percent coupon.
The Fund’s exposure to Latin America provided mixed results during the fiscal year. Specifically, the Fund held Aerovias de Mexico S.A. de CV (008065AD6) (holding weight*: 0.18 percent), the flag carrier airline of Mexico. The bond rallied strongly out of its distressed condition, nearly tripling in value during the 12-month period. However, the holding is still approximately 0.7 percent below the value that the Fund originally added it. The Fund also held Mexican Bonos 7.75% 11/13/2042 (B7V21L1) (holding weight*: 0.60 percent), which is a bond issued by the Mexican government. During the fiscal year, the Mexican Bonos was one of the poorer performers, decreasing 0.7 percent. During the third fiscal quarter, the Sub-Adviser added Cemex S.A.B. de CV 5.125% 9/8/2026 (151290CA9) (holding weight*: 1.30 percent), a multinational building materials company, which performed relatively flat since it was added, appreciating 1.4 percent. Since these Mexican corporate bonds were denominated in U.S. dollars, the Mexican peso’s 3.1 percent appreciation versus the U.S. dollar only affected the government-issued bond’s return when converted to U.S. dollars.
Sub-Adviser Outlook
The Sub-Adviser continues to seek opportunities across both developed and emerging markets, as central banks around the world are seeking to balance bringing their economies to successful recoveries against the threat of rampant inflation. The Sub -Adviser continues to evaluate both the sovereign debt as well as the corporate offerings within each country, and recognizes that many companies may have the flexibility to navigate their own recovery while their country of domicile struggles. The Sub-Adviser believes that retaining the flexibility to invest in both emerging and developed markets as well as both corporate bonds and sovereign debt may allow the Fund to take advantage of opportunities.

Dunham Large Cap Value Fund (Unaudited) |
Message from the Sub-Adviser (Rothschild & Co. Asset Management US Inc.) |
Asset Class Recap
At the beginning of the fiscal year, large cap value stocks, as measured by the Russell 1000 Value Index, continued to rally off their historic lows, as economically sensitive sectors, such as energy, financials, and industrials led value stocks higher. Large cap value stocks were hit hard at the onset of the COVID pandemic, however, large cap value stocks rebounded sharply in the first two fiscal quarters, with discretionary spending in traditional value sectors on the rise. Continuing their run higher throughout the remainder of the fiscal year, the best performing sectors in large cap value were energy, financial services, and industrials. The rise of inflation over the fiscal year had a positive impact overall on value names. In fact, large cap value stocks were beating large cap growth stocks, as measured by the Russell 1000 Growth Index, until the second half of the fiscal year, when growth outpaced value by 9.7 percent. Over the trailing twelve-month fiscal period ended October 31, 2021, large cap value stocks rose 43.5 percent. Given the global economic uncertainty, many investors believe large cap value stocks may be poised to take advantage of the rising inflationary and rising rate environment with more predictable cash flows and less volatility versus their large cap growth counterparts.
Allocation Review
The Sub-Adviser does not believe in taking large sector overweight and underweight positions in the Fund, but rather seeks to find what it believes are the most favorable opportunities within each sector, driven by a bottom-up security selection process. With that being said, the largest contributor during the fiscal year was the financial services sector, with strong stock selection being the main contributor. However, stock selection in the insurance and banking industries dragged on performance. Low interest rates throughout the fiscal year encouraged borrowing while many of the major banks released capital reserves for the COVID pandemic. This helped to lead the sector higher in addition to the prospect of a steepening yield curve. Following the financial services sector were the consumer discretionary and healthcare sectors, with stock selection also positively contributing to relative performance. The worst performer during the fiscal year was the utilities sector, with stock selection detracting from relative performance.
Holding Insights
The leading contributor to performance for the Sub-Adviser was Bank of America Corp. (BAC) (holding weight*: 3.29 percent), an American multinational investment bank and financial services holding company. BAC benefited from an increase in loan balances, mostly in the form of commercial loans, due to accommodative interest rates and the Paycheck Protection Program loan activity. BAC shares also gained from strong wealth management, investment banking, and trading revenue. Releasing their pandemic reserves, boosting balance sheets, contributed to the 105.8 percent return for the fiscal year. Another top contributor over the fiscal year was ConocoPhillips (COP) (holding weight*: 2.31 percent), an American oil and natural gas producer operating in 17 different countries. The Sub-Adviser’s exposure to COP took advantage of the rise in energy prices seen over the year. Oil prices have gained nearly 63 percent since the start of 2021, with the global crude benchmark Brent rising above $86 a barrel to its highest level in about three years after the pandemic depressed fuel demand in 2020. Alphabet Inc. (GOOGL) (holding weight*: 2.94 percent), a multinational technology company and the parent of Google, saw significant growth in its valuation this fiscal year, increasing by 83.2 percent. Google has been taking advantage of the increased digital advertising demand and an improved foothold of their Google cloud services. Google’s cloud revenue continued to jump throughout the year while narrowing its operating losses as it competes for large contracts from Microsoft and Amazon’s already flourishing cloud services.
All sectors for the Sub-Adviser ended positively for the fiscal year with only a few holdings contributing to negative performance in the Fund. In the consumer discretionary sector, Altice USA (ATUS) (holding weight*: 0.40 percent) fell 52.0 percent during the fiscal year. ATUS, an American media company, suffered from a lack of subscriber growth due to bad weather, tighter government rules and weaker-than-expected sales during the back-to-school season. The Sub-Adviser trimmed the Fund’s position throughout the year. ATUS recently released its earnings report showing revenues beat expectations, however, earnings came in lower than expected. Another detractor was Global Payments Inc. (GPN) (holding weight*: 1.04 percent), a provider of payment processing services to merchants, allowing them to accept credit and debit cards, along with other payment types. GPN fell 26.4 percent for the fiscal year with shareholders concerned over the revenue guidance. GPN has beat earnings for four quarters in a row. In addition, GPN made several announcements last week, including the acquisition of Mineral Tree and a tie-up with Virgin Money. While the acquisition is anticipated to help Global Payments in expanding its reach in the business-to-business cloud payments market. Also, the merger with Virgin Money is expected to enable the company to offer payments solutions in the U.K. Xcel Energy Inc. (XEL) (holding weight*: 1.20 percent) dropped 5.2 percent over the fiscal year. XEL manages utilities in eight states throughout the central U.S. with one-third of its electricity sales coming from renewable energy. The most recent earnings report, showed that XEL missed earnings expectations due to higher electric fuel costs, increased cost of natural gas sold and transported, and elevated maintenance expenses.
Sub-Adviser Outlook
Looking ahead, the Sub-Adviser believes that value stocks still have room to run as the economy continues to re-open. An accommodative fiscal and monetary policy, in addition to declining unemployment rates and increased consumer spending, are expected to provide a positive backdrop for those industries still recovering from the pandemic. Inflation becoming a longer-term factor could continue to support value stocks, especially if the Federal Reserve moves up its interest rate hiking timeline. The Sub-Adviser is particularly interested in the financial services and energy sectors. Traditionally, banks are used as inflationary hedges with the potential for rising rate and the demand for energy commodities continuing to outpace supply. As always, the Sub-Adviser seeks to stay true to its disciplined investment process and identify companies trading at attractive valuations with improving business prospects.

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, have outperformed nearly all asset classes over the fiscal year, rising over 60 percent. Value stocks, in general, continued to surge, as large cap value stocks, as measured by the Russell 1000 Index, rallied as well, rising 43.7 percent over the same time period. There have been a number of tailwinds that have benefitted value stocks as they work their way back from the COVID pandemic lows, including continued accommodative monetary and fiscal policy, increased global dissemination of COVID vaccines, and decreasing unemployment. Also, traditional headwinds, such as rising interest rates, have benefitted some value sectors, such as the financial services sector, whose revenues tend to increase when interest rates rise. In addition, stocks in the energy sector have rallied, as the price per barrel of oil continues to surge past levels not seen in seven years, causing the sector that is highly dependent on oil prices to increase. The rise in the 10-year U.S. Treasury yield has caused some growth stocks to sell-off in recent months, as borrowing rates have risen. Over the fiscal year, small cap value stocks gained 64.3 percent, while small cap growth stocks, as measured by the Russell 2000 Growth Index, added 38.4 percent.
Allocation Review
The Sub-Adviser matches the Fund’s sector allocation to the benchmark index; therefore, any changes to benchmark weights will be quickly reflected within the Fund. With that being said, the Fund is reliant on superior stock selection to generate excess returns. The Sub-Adviser seeks to generate alpha through proprietary sector-specific multi-factor models, combined with qualitative analysis. When looking at the benchmark, as of October 31, 2021, the largest sector by weighting was the financial services sector, at 35.7 percent, or more than one-third of the Fund’s benchmark index. The financial services sector within the benchmark rose 60.4 percent over the fiscal year, as rising interest rates and attractive relative valuations added to performance. The Fund’s stock selection within this sector proved stellar, as the financial services sector within the Fund rose 67.8 percent, or 7.4 percent over the benchmark. The largest sector by weighting within the Fund also provided the strongest contribution to Fund performance over the fiscal year. The consumer discretionary sector, the second largest sector by weighting within the benchmark at 14.5 percent, was the largest detractor over the fiscal quarter, as the Fund’s poor stock selection within this sector weighed on relative performance. Stock selection within the retail industry detracted from performance, as rising input costs, supply chain disruptions, and persistent COVID cases slowed growth and led to many in the retail industry lowering earnings forecasts in the near term.
Holdings Insights
The largest contributor over the fiscal year was Lydall, Inc. (LDL) (holding weight*: not held). LDL is a global manufacturing company that produces advanced filtration products and specialty materials that go into batteries. Clearlake Capital Group, a private equity firm, saw significant value in LDL and paid a nearly 85 percent premium to acquire the company, causing LDL’s stock to skyrocket to a near three-year high. The Sub-Adviser fully exited the Fund’s position in LDL on June 25, 2021, realizing a gain over the fiscal period of 205.0 percent. The next largest contributor over the fiscal year was Alcoa Corp. (AA) (holding weight*: not held). AA is an American industrial corporation and is one of the world’s largest producers of aluminum. AA has seen its stock surge in recent months as the price of aluminum has soared to nearly $3,000 per ton, an all-time high. AA reported record earnings over the fiscal year, driven by double-digit revenue growth. The Sub-Adviser fully exited their position in AA on August 17, 2021, realizing a gain over the fiscal period of 222.1 percent. Within the largest sector by weighting in the benchmark, financial services, The Bancorp, Inc. (TBBK) (holding weight*: 1.20 percent), a payment services provider and specialized lender within the U.S., contributed to the Fund’s relative performance. TBBK recently announced earnings that exceeded expectations, the fourth consecutive quarter TBBK surpassed estimates, as net interest income, the largest segment of TBBK by revenue, continued to rise, reaching record levels, leading TBBK management to their sales forecast for 2022. Over the fiscal year, TBBK gained 123.8 percent.
The largest detractors over the fiscal year came from stocks not held by the Fund. Gamestop Corp. (GME) and AMC Entertainment Holdings (AMC) skyrocketed over the fiscal year, both returning more than 1,300 percent. The Sub-Adviser believes their rally was fueled by speculation rather than fundamentals, hence it not appearing attractive within the Sub-Adviser’s factor models, which determine stock selection within the Fund. Another detractor over the fiscal year was Big Lots Inc (BIG) (holding weight*: 0.63 percent). BIG is an American community retailer operating more than 1,400 stores in 47 states. In the most recent earnings period, BIG’s stock price fell after it announced revenues and earnings both missed expectations, citing supply chain disruptions and rising input costs eating into profits. Over the fiscal year, BIG dropped 5.0 percent. Within the energy sector, Archrock Inc. (AROC) (holding weight*: 0.76 percent), an energy infrastructure company with a focus on midstream natural gas compression, detracted from relative performance. While AROC increased 47.7 percent over the fiscal year, the Fund’s relative overweight to the stock, coupled with the stock’s return being below the sector’s return in the benchmark of 150.8 percent, made AROC the third-largest detractor over the period. Like other stocks in the energy sector, AROC benefitted from rising oil prices, however, it lagged sector peers in terms of growth.
Sub-Adviser Outlook
The Sub-Adviser believes the following themes may be worth monitoring moving forward. The supply chain has slowed down significantly over the last two years, with many wondering when operations will begin to normalize, as some factories still remain closed and individuals continue to miss time due to lingering COVID cases. This has led to rising costs and historic inflation reports. Monitoring monetary and fiscal policy developments could provide insights as to how to position the portfolio in the future. As always, the Sub-Adviser will select stocks that can be identified through a systematic, risk-controlled, repeatable approach, avoiding sector rotation and market timing.

Dunham Focused Large Cap Growth Fund (Unaudited) |
Message from the Sub-Adviser (The Ithaka Group, LLC) |
Asset Class Recap |
|
When looking at the trailing one-year period ending October 31, 2021, large cap growth stocks, as measured by the Russell 1000 Growth Index, and large cap value stocks, as measured by the Russell 1000 Value Index, finished nearly in-line, with large cap value stocks narrowly beating their large cap growth counterparts. Value stocks have proven resilient over the fiscal year, as economically sensitive sectors severely affected by the COVID pandemic, such as financials, energy, and retail, outpaced broader equity markets and continued to rebound from historic lows reached in March of 2020. While accommodative monetary and fiscal policy played an instrumental role in keeping these sectors afloat, the effective dissemination and acceptance of COVID vaccinations across the world eased travel restrictions, increased consumer spending, and allowed individuals to work on-site again. However, rising costs, persistent COVID cases, and supply chain disruptions slowed the growth rate toward the latter half of the fiscal year, with traditional value sectors, such as the ones mentioned before, lagging the broader market. Growth stocks continued to rise, albeit at a much slower pace than previous quarters, as stocks that benefitted from the stay-at-home trend, such as stocks in the information technology sector, led equities higher. While growth stocks rallied in recent months, value stocks maintained their marginal lead over the fiscal year. Over the most recent fiscal year ending October 31, 2021, large cap growth stocks increased 43.2 percent, while large cap value stocks increased 43.7 percent. |
|
Allocation Review |
|
The sector that contributed the most to performance over the fiscal year was health care. The Sub-Adviser’s relative overweight to the sector detracted marginally from performance, however, not enough to offset the superior stock selection. The Sub-Adviser’s stellar stock selection within the medical supplies, medical equipment, and health services industries contributed the most to relative performance. Additionally, the Sub-Adviser’s relative underweight to the producer durables sector and lack of exposure to the consumer staples sector added to relative performance. The sector that detracted the most from performance was the information technology sector. The largest sector by market capitalization within the Russell 1000 Growth Index continued to outperform the broader market over the fiscal year, rising 52.6 percent. The Sub-Adviser’s relative underweight to the sector detracted from performance, albeit marginally, as poor stock selection weighed the most on performance. When looking at the top 10 detractors from performance over the fiscal year, half come from within the information technology sector. It is worth noting that while the Sub-Adviser’ stock selection within the sector detracted from relative performance this period, when looking at longer-dated trailing periods, such as the 3-year and 5-year, the Sub-Adviser’s stock selection within the sector has provided strong relative returns. Another sector that detracted from performance over the fiscal year was the financial services sector. The Sub-Adviser’s more than 10 percent overweight to the sector, coupled with poor stock selection, detracted from relative performance. |
|
Holdings Insights |
|
The largest contributor over the fiscal year was Nvidia Corp. (NVDA) (holding weight*: 6.94 percent). NVDA, a provider of graphics processing units for the gaming and professional markets, rose 104.2 percent over the fiscal year. NVDA, also the largest contributor over the most recent fiscal quarter, continued to report impressive earnings, with all segments of the business reporting double-digit growth year-over-year in the latest earnings report. NVDA’s gaming segment, its largest segment by revenue, reported stellar growth, rising 85 percent. The next largest contributor was DexCom Inc. (DXCM) (holding weight*: 3.34 percent), a manufacturer of continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) systems for diabetes management. DXCM’s CGM system provides users with a continuous stream of data, including glucose trends and time spent in hyper or hypoglycemia, a capability not offered by many competitors in the CGM industry. DXCM recently reported earnings that exceeded expectations, with strong growth coming from international markets. Over the fiscal year, DXCM rose 95.0 percent. Despite the financial services sector detracting from relative performance, Square Inc. (SQ) (holding weight*: 3.9 percent), a digital platform that enables small businesses to accept credit card payments, track sales and inventory, and obtain financing, contributed meaningfully to relative performance. SQ’s Cash App, a platform where people can store, send, receive, spend, and invest money, was the real driver of growth over the fiscal period, as the Cash App user base grew to 36 million by the end of the fiscal period. Additionally, the Cash App allows users to invest in Bitcoin, the largest cryptocurrency by market capitalization, which saw an increase in market price and consumer demand. Over the fiscal year, SQ increased 64.3 percent. |
|
The largest detractor over the most recent fiscal quarter was Twilio, Inc. (TWLO) (holding weight*: 2.00 percent). TWLO offers a platform that enables enterprises to communicate di gitally, whether it be via voice, text, or instant message. Recently, TWLO reported earnings that exceeded expectations, however, management forecasted growth would slow in the coming months, leading investors to question its high valuation. Over the fiscal year, TWLO dropped 30.0 percent. Another detractor over the fiscal quarter was Veeva Systems (VEEV) (holding weight*: 3.94 percent), a provider of cloud-based software solutions for the life sciences industry. VEEV announced that some of its largest customers began reducing their user base on VEEV’s customer relationship management (CRM) platform. The reduction of users on VEEV’s flagship CRM platform is expected to dampen sales forecasts in the near term. Despite the stock’s 17.4 percent rise over the fiscal year, the Sub-Adviser’s significant overweight to VEEV, coupled with the health care sector’s 37.8 percent growth over the same time period, contributed to the relative underperformance. |
|
Sub-Adviser Outlook |
|
The Sub-Adviser seeks to hold what it believes to be the strongest growth stocks, primarily focusing on free-cash-flow and fundamental factors that traditionally support long-term growth. Therefore, the Fund holds an array of stocks ranging from cloud-based technologies to brick-and-mortar retailers. The Sub-Adviser is optimistic that remaining concentrated in the Fund’s number of holdings may prove to be more impactful to the Fund’s outperformance relative to its benchmark index over the long term than the impact of sector weightings. |

Dunham Small Cap Growth Fund (Unaudited) |
Message from the Sub-Adviser (Pier Capital, LLC) |
Asset Class Recap
Small cap growth stocks, as measured by the Russell 2000 Growth Index, rose nearly 40 percent over the fiscal year ending October 31, 2021. Despite small cap growth stocks’ impressive rally, growth stocks continue to lag their value peers by a wide margin. Small cap value stocks, as measured by the Russell 2000 Value Index, gained 64.3 percent over the same time period and outpaced small cap growth stocks by roughly 25 percent. In recent months, value stocks have rallied, as traditional value sectors such as financial services and energy have outperformed the broader market. Stocks in the financial services sector have risen in tandem with interest rates, as these stocks tend to benefit in a rising rate environment. In the energy sector, stocks have surged, as rising oil prices boosted sales. While small cap stocks continue to outpace large cap stocks over the fiscal year, their lead over large cap stocks has diminished in recent months. When looking at the trailing six-month period, large cap stocks, as measured by the Russell 1000 Index, rose 10.4 percent, while small cap stocks, as measured by the Russell 2000 Index, added 1.9 percent. Volatility related to supply chain disruptions, rising costs, and persistent COVID cases have led many investors to large cap stocks, as they have historically exhibited lower volatility in times of distress than their small cap peers. Still, when looking at the trailing one-year performance, small cap stocks are up 50.8 percent, compared to large cap stocks up 43.5 percent. Over the fiscal year ended October 31, 2021, small cap growth stocks increased 38.4 percent.
Allocation Review
The sector allocation within the Fund is predominantly a result of the Sub-Adviser’s bottom-up stock selection. The sector that contributed the most to Fund performance over the fiscal year was the health care sector. The health care sector, which is the largest sector by weighting in the benchmark index at 29.5 percent, gained 15.8 percent over the fiscal year, while the Fund’s investments within the health care sector added 36.6 percent. The Fund’s relative underweight to the sector, coupled with superior stock selection contributed meaningfully to performance. Stellar stock selection within the biotechnology and medical devices industries added to the sector’s relative outperformance. Additionally, the financial services sector contributed meaningfully to relative performance, as superior stock selection resulted in a 116.2 percent gain over the fiscal year, outpacing the benchmark’s 50.2 percent. The sector that detracted the most from performance over the fiscal year was the producer durables sector. The Fund’s relative underweight, in addition to poor stock selection, detracted from performance. Also, the Fund’s relative underweight to the materials & processing sector hurt relative performance.
Holdings Insights
The largest contributor to performance over the fiscal year was Montrose Environmental Group (MEG) (holding weight*: 1.18 percent). MEG operates in the environmental services industry, providing government and commercial organizations with environmental advisory, audit, and compliance services. MEG continues to benefit from the increased awareness in sustainability, with top-line growth surging over the fiscal year. MEG recently reported an 84 percent increase in earnings year-over-year, with all segments of the business reporting growth. Over the fiscal year, MEG gained 150.3 percent. The second-largest contributor to performance over the fiscal year was Avid Bioservices, Inc. (CDMO) (holding weight*: 0.95 percent). CDMO is a biologics contract development and manufacturing organization (CDMO) providing development and manufacturing services to the biotechnology and pharmaceutical industries. Over the fiscal year, CDMO has more than quadrupled in price, as the company’s backlog of manufacturing contracts, coupled with strategic acquisitions, propelled the stock higher. Over the fiscal year, CDMO rose 323.2 percent. Another contributor over the fiscal year was Kornit Digital Ltd. (KRNT) (holding weight*: 1.35 percent). KRNT, a developer of digital printing solutions for the printed textile industry, rose 148.5 percent over the fiscal year. In a recent earnings report, the company announced revenue surged 118 percent year-over-year, with growth across all geographic regions. KRNT also announced a strategic acquisition that would help expand the company’s footprint in new, lucrative markets.
The largest detractor from relative performance over the fiscal year came from a stock not held by the Fund, but held in the benchmark index, Asana Inc. (ASAN). ASAN is a web and mobile application designed to organize, track and manage workflows for enterprises. Over the last fiscal year, ASAN has surged 116.5 percent, as the demand for its application skyrocketed as more individuals worked remotely. While ASAN has reported stellar results over the fiscal year, a majority of the stock’s outperformance can be attributed to increased buying from retail traders during the ‘meme’ stock craze. The next largest detractor was Bandwidth Inc. (BAND) (holding weight*: 1.09 percent), a cloud communications platform enabling voice, messaging, and emergency services into software and applications. BAND has pulled back in recent months, selling off with other cloud communications platforms, as valuations appear lofty, leading to investors allocating elsewhere. Over the fiscal year, BAND lost 46.8 percent. Also within the technology sector, Coupa Software Inc. (COUP) (holding weight*: 0.90 percent), detracted from relative performance. COUP is a business spend management platform, allowing enterprises the ability to track transactions across procurement, payments, and supply chain. COUP’s price plunged, following a bearish forecast from management, citing slowing sales growth. Over the fiscal year, COUP lost 14.9 percent.
Sub-Adviser Outlook
The Sub-Adviser believes volatility may persist in the near term, as uncertainty surrounding the supply chain, rising input costs, and historically high inflation keep investors on edge. Additionally, developments out of the White House in regards to various economic initiatives and fiscal policy, coupled with the Federal Reserve’s handling of the numerous challenges that remain in today’s economic environment, could be worth monitoring. As always, the Sub-Adviser will continue to seek those companies and industries with what it believes are the most attractive growth prospects, while remaining vigilant on valuations.

Message from the Sub-Adviser (NS Partners Ltd.) |
Asset Class Recap
Emerging markets stocks put in a strong start to the fiscal year as COVID-19 vaccines boosted confidence of a global economic recovery in 2021. Joe Biden’s victory in the U.S. Presidential election, coupled with Democratic majority in both houses of Congress, increased expectations of further fiscal stimulus and higher corporate taxes, in turn suggesting upward pressure on inflation and bond yields. Equity markets in China rose to begin the fiscal year following an investment treaty between the European Union and China, increasing optimism that more direct investment will be allowed into China, helping push China away from its nationalistic tendencies. Additionally, the country’s economy continued to reopen and economic data indicated a robust economic recovery. However, equity markets sold off late in the second fiscal quarter as the strong economic results sparked concerns that authorities could rapidly tighten monetary policy. Volatility remained elevated in the third fiscal quarter amid a myriad of concerns. Chinese equity markets led the selloff due to the government’s crackdown on various industries they deemed incompatible with the country’s social goals. The Brazilian equity market followed suit as the market was pressured by inflation concerns and allegations of government corruption. Also weighing on sentiment for the asset class was a surge in the highly contagious delta variant that could adversely affect the global economic recovery. Over the most recent fiscal quarter, headlines out of China dominated sentiment with the announcement of “common prosperity” objectives which aim to address the rapidly increasing income and wealth inequality and the imbalances between urban and rural areas. Investors also grappled with the looming default of China’s largest property developer, and its potential impact on global economic health. Over the fiscal year ended October 31, 2021, emerging markets stocks, as measured by the MSCI Emerging Markets Index, rose 17.7 percent. Emerging markets stocks underperformed international developed markets, as measured by the MSCI ACWI ex-U.S. index, as it increased 37.3 percent over the fiscal year.
Allocation Review
Over the fiscal year, stock selection strongly contributed to Fund performance. The Fund experienced strong positive contributions from stock selection within China, India, and Greece, but stock selection in Brazil, Taiwan, and South Africa detracted from Fund performance. The Fund’s country allocation also contributed to performance, albeit to a smaller degree than the Fund’s stock selection. The adverse effects of the overweight exposure to Hong Kong and Indonesia and underweight exposure to Gulf Markets were outweighed by the positive impact of the underweight to China and Brazil and overweight to India. From a sector perspective, the exposure to the consumer discretionary, industrials, and technology sectors aided positive performance, while the underweight exposure to the energy sector detracted from Fund performance. Over the fiscal year, the Sub-Adviser increased the exposure to India and Taiwan, reduced the exposure to Brazil, and exited the exposure to South Africa. Additionally, the Sub-Adviser reduced the underweight in China and Korea.
Holdings Insights
The largest allocation within the benchmark and the Fund is the exposure to China. As such, many of the underlying holdings from China had a meaningful impact on Fund performance over the fiscal quarter. One of the largest contributors to positive Fund performance over the fiscal year was Contemporary Amperex Technology Company Ltd. “CATL” (BHQPSY7) (holding weight*: 2.11 percent). CATL is a battery manufacturer and technology company specializing in manufacturing lithium-ion batteries for electric vehicles and energy storage systems. CATL is China’s largest electric vehicle battery manufacturer and has benefited from the global frenzy for electric vehicles. CATL increased 160.7 percent over the fiscal year. LONGi Green Energy Technology Company Ltd. (BRTL411) (holding weight*: 2.25 percent), a leading solar module manufacturer with global scale, also thrived during the fiscal year as it rose 80.4 percent. Positions from China were also some of the most notable detractors from positive Fund performance as regulatory risks weighed on various industries in the country. This included Alibaba Group Holding Ltd. (9988 HK) (holding weight*: 4.79 percent), a Chinese multinational technology company, Vnet Group, Inc. (VNET) (holding weight*: 0.77 percent), a Chinese data center, and Alibaba Health Information Technology Ltd. (241 HK) (holding weight*: 0.82 percent), an integrated healthcare information and content service provider. Over the most recent fiscal year, these positions declined 44.4 percent, 37.7 percent, and 51.5 percent, respectively.
The exposure to India also meaningfully contributed to Fund performance over the fiscal year as stocks in the country benefited from supportive central bank policy and expectations of a strong recovery for the economy, which was hit hard by Covid. One of the best performing holdings within the Fund over the fiscal year was the Indian property company, Godrej Properties Ltd. (GPL IN) (holding weight*: 1.26 percent). Godrej Properties Ltd. increased 38.2 percent over the fiscal quarter in reaction to the company posting strong gains and investors viewing its land strategically attractive relative to its competitors. The exposure to the Indian consumer sectors also positively contributed to Fund performance. This includes Varun Beverages Ltd. (VML IN) (holding weight*: 1.77 percent), an Indian company that produces, bottles, and distributes beverages, and Lemon Tree Hotels Ltd. (BF2LSQ7) (holding weight*: 0.68 percent), India’s largest hotel chain in the mid-priced hotel sector. Over the most recent fiscal year, these positions increased 94.2 percent and 100.8 percent, respectively.
As previously mentioned, security selection in Brazil detracted from Fund performance on a relative and absolute basis. The Brazilian equity market put in a disappointing fiscal year for numerous reasons. The Brazilian central bank raised interest rates again in an attempt to contain inflation which has touched double digits. Additionally, political tensions have put pressure on the Brazilian Real, while a lack of rainfall has impacted hydroelectricity generation, raising power prices. A disappointing holding from Brazil was Banco Bradesco S.A. (059460303) (holding weight*: 0.39 percent), a Brazilian Bank. Banco Bradesco S.A put in an impressive start to the year rising 63.1 percent through May, but declined 29.4 percent to close the fiscal year, detracting from the Fund’s relative performance. Another position from Brazil that detracted from Fund performance over the fiscal year was Atacadao S.A. (BF7LBH4) (holding weight*: 0.46 percent), a Brazilian chain of warehouse stores, which declined 19.9 percent over the fiscal year.
Sub-Adviser Outlook
The Sub-Adviser is cautiously optimistic for the rest of 2021 and 2022. The Sub-Adviser believes that global industrial momentum may slow further into early 2022, but the continued reopening of the global services economy will likely continue to boost global GDP. The Sub-Adviser also believes that inflation fears may be currently overblown and are already priced in the market. However, the market could experience a slight pick-up in core inflation in late 2021 and 2022. The Sub-Adviser views the regulatory risk premium at extreme levels but is ready to adjust the exposure if it begins to subside or China begins to adopt a more accommodative monetary policy. TheSub -Adviser will also continue to focus on high-quality companies with improving return on invested capital.

Message from the Sub-Adviser (Arrowstreet Capital, L.P.) |
Asset Class Recap
International equity markets, as measured by the MSCI All Country World ex USA Index (Net) (referred to as the “Index”), gained 29.7 percent during the fiscal year ending October 31, 2021. Across sectors, notable outperformers included energy, financials, and information technology. Conversely, communication services, consumer discretionary, and utilities performed positively but underperformed on a relative basis. The best performing developed market countries as measured by the Index in local terms during the fiscal year were Austria, up 103.9 percent, and the Netherlands, up 61.0 percent. The worst performing developed market countries, also in local terms, were New Zealand, down 8.4 percent, and Hong Kong, up 18.3 percent. The best performing emerging market countries during the fiscal year as measured by the Index were Hungary, up 76.7 percent, and Czech Republic, up 76.1 percent. The worst performing emerging market countries were China, down 9.1 percent, and Pakistan, down 0.9 percent.
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 fiscal year were: China, mainly due to underweight positioning to both the consumer discretionary and communication services sectors, along with overweight positioning coupled with positive selection within Chinese energy; and Russia, due to overweight positioning to both the energy and financials sectors. Countries contributing the most to underperformance relative to the Index included: Switzerland, primarily due to overweights and negative stock selection within the industrials sector and an underweight to financials sector.
Sectors contributing the most to returns relative to the Index during the fiscal year included: consumer discretionary, primarily due to underweights to Chinese consumer discretionary (noted above), and overweights coupled with positive selection within both Canadian and South Korean consumer discretionary; and materials, primarily due to positive selection within both Canada and France. Sectors contributing the most to underperformance relative to the Index included: financials, mainly due to underweights to Canadian financials, along with underweights coupled with negative selection within Australia; and industrials, largely due to overweights and negative selection within Switzerland, as noted above.
Holdings Insights
Stocks contributing the most to returns relative to the Index during the fiscal year included: Alibaba (BABA US) (holding weight**: 0.19 percent), a Chinese consumer discretionary company; ASML Holding NV (ASML NA) (holding weight*: 2.98 percent), a Netherlands information technology company; and Tencent Holdings (700 HK) (holding weight **: not held), a Chinese communication services company. ASML rose 124.0 percent over the fiscal year. BABA fell 36.2 percent during the fiscal year after it was sold in mid-November. Additionally, 700 HK fell 18.7 over the fiscal year. Though both BABA and HK 700 declined, the stocks are contributors because the Fund was significantly underweight those two holdings relative to the index. Stocks contributing the most to underperformance relative to the Index included: Hartalega Holdings BHD (HART MK) (holding weight**: 0.16 percent), a Malaysian health care company; Nintendo Co. LTD (7974 JP) (holding weight**: 0.03 percent), a Japanese communication services company; ABB LTD-Reg (ABBN SW) (holding weight*: 1.39 percent), a Swiss industrials company. HART MK fell 59.7 percent and 7974 JP fell 38.2 percent. ABBN SW rose 40.0 percent, but the Fund was significantly underweight the stock relative to the index.
Sub-Advisor 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.

Asset Class Recap
Markets across the globe surged to begin the fiscal year as political risk subsided following the U.S. election, and the announcement of three effective vaccines offered hope that the world was on the path back towards normalcy. Markets strongly reversed course to close the first fiscal quarter due to a combination of a lack of progress for an additional stimulus bill, a post-holiday surge in coronavirus cases, and a slower than anticipated distribution of the coronavirus vaccines. After taking a slight step back in late January, equity markets continued to march higher in the second and third fiscal quarters. Investors cheered Congress passing another $1.9 trillion spending package which in turn drove the 10-year U.S. Treasury yield to its highest level since the beginning of 2020. Also adding to optimism was an increasingly efficient vaccine rollout in the United States, albeit not all countries experienced as much success - with a resurgence of coronavirus cases occurring in some regions, including parts of Europe and India. Coupled with encouraging corporate and economic reports, these developments helped overshadow short bouts of volatility amid concerns that inflation may be less transitory and the rapid spread of the Delta variant. In the most recent fiscal quarter, global equity markets sold off as a result of the Federal Open Market Committee assuming a more hawkish tone, economic data revealing persistent inflation, and concerns of slowing global growth. However, equity markets strongly rebounded to close the most recent fiscal quarter as third quarter earnings season kicked off with robust results in the United States. Global macro strategies, as measured by the IQ Hedge Global Macro Beta Index, rose 5.8 percent during the fiscal year ended October 31, 2021. Global macro strategies underperformed global equities, as measured by the MSCI ACWI index, which increased 37.3 percent, but outperformed bonds, as measured by the Bloomberg Barclays U.S. Aggregate Bond index, which fell 0.5 percent.
Allocation Review
The Fund began the fiscal year with the lowest allocation to the growth asset strategy since March 2020. As global equity risk subsided, the Sub-Adviser added to the growth strategy throughout the first three fiscal quarters of year and continued to add to the allocation in the beginning of the most recent fiscal quarter, which positively benefited the Fund as equity markets generally rose. After reaching a high in the beginning of September, the Sub-Adviser trimmed the exposure to the growth asset strategy through the end of the fiscal quarter as it viewed valuations as becoming rich. Throughout the fiscal year and most recent fiscal quarter, the Fund’s defensive asset strategy contributed to Fund performance amid spikes in volatility but detracted from Fund performance as markets rallied. In contrast to the growth asset strategy, the defensive asset strategy began the fiscal year near its highest allocation since early 2020, but this exposure was trimmed to a near all-time low in the most recent fiscal quarter as the 10-year U.S. Treasury rose 33 basis points to 1.55 percent. The allocation to the real asset strategy was stable through the first six months of the fiscal year, however, as a result of the substantial increase in both consensus inflation and the Sub-Adviser’s own internal measures of inflation, the allocation to the real asset strategy more than doubled in the previous fiscal quarter, and continued to rise in the most recent fiscal quarter, positively contributing to Fund performance.
Holdings Insights
The growth asset strategy was the strongest contributor to positive Fund performance over the fiscal year ended October 31, 2021. The largest exposure within the growth asset strategy was dedicated to U.S. equities. This was partially achieved through the SPDR S&P 500 ETF Trust (SPY) (holding weight*: 25.6 percent). Over the fiscal year, SPY rose 42.6 percent. The exposure to the S&P 500 was also achieved throughout the year by buying out of the money call options on the S&P 500. For example, the Fund held the S&P 500 Index Sept 21 $4,380 Call option (ESU1C 4380) (holding notional weight**: 5.08 percent) from late April until mid-August. The call option increased 84.2 percent over that time period. Using the proceeds of that liquidation, the Fund rolled the exposure into the further out S&P 500 Index Nov21 $4,600 Call option (SCX1C 4600) (holding notional weight*: 21.7 percent). This option increased 8.6 percent since being added in early August. Throughout the fiscal year, the growth asset strategy also contributed to positive Fund performance from tactical allocation to small capitalization domestic equities. As the performance dispersion between large capitalization and small capitalization domestic equity markets widened, the Sub-Adviser capitalized on these opportunities using the CME E-mini Russell 2000 Index Futures 03/19/2021 (RTYH1 IND) (holding notional weight**: 2.64 percent) from January through mid- March, and the CME E-mini Russell 2000 Index Futures 12/17/2021 (RTYZ1 IND) (holding notional weight*: 2.62 percent), from mid-September to the end of the fiscal year. During their time in the Fund, these positions increased 10.7 percent and 2.7 percent, respectively. The exposure to foreign equities also contributed to Fund performance over the fiscal year. This included the iShares MSCI Emerging Markets ETF (EEM) (holding weight*: 1.88 percent), which increased 15.6 percent, and the iShares Hedged MSCI Germany ETF (HEWG) (holding weight*: 0.98 percent), which increased 34.6 percent.
As markets rose and the yield curve steepened during the fiscal year, the Sub-Adviser reduced the allocation to the defensive asset strategy. This shift positively contributed to Fund performance as the defensive asset strategy detracted from Fund performance in the fiscal year. This is predominately due to the allocation to U.S. government bonds, the largest allocation within the defensive asset strategy. Over the fiscal year, the yield on the 10-year U.S. Treasury increased 68 basis points, adversely affecting the price of government bonds. In August, the Fund initiated an exposure to the CBOE 10 Year U.S. Treasury Note Future 12/21/2021 (TYM1 COM) (holding notional weight*: 21.85 percent). This exposure fell 1.8 percent through the end of the fiscal year. Conversely, the exposure to international bonds provided mixed results despite global bond yields also rising over the fiscal year. To begin the fiscal year, the largest short within the defensive asset strategy and the Fund was dedicated to developed ex-U.S. bonds. However, throughout the fiscal year, the Sub-Adviser reduced the short position resulting in a net long exposure to developed ex-U.S. bonds.
The real assets strategy, while the smallest allocation in the Fund, contributed to Fund performance over the fiscal year. 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*: 4.91 percent), which increased 55.5 percent. The diversifying strategy also positively contributed to Fund performance over the fiscal quarter, adding 54 basis points to 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 2021 and 2022. Although the Sub-Adviser see a great deal of risk on the table, it remains steadfast in its belief that this volatility-targeted strategy may provide investors with more consistent returns than traditional asset classes. It believes that through the flexibility of the strategy and the use of alternative investments, the Fund may provide what may be considered attractive returns with lower systematic risk and lower correlation than traditional equity investments.

The IQ Hedge Global Macro Beta Index seeks to replicate the risk-adjusted return characteristics of the collective hedge funds using a global macro investment style. Investors cannot invest directly in an index or benchmark.
The Morningstar Macro Trading Category is generally representative of mutual funds that use systematic or discretionary methods to examine broad factors such as the global economy, government policies, interest rates, inflation, and market trends. These mutual funds are not restricted by asset class and may invest across such disparate assets as global equities, bonds, currencies, and commodities, and make extensive use of derivatives. These strategies can take significant directional long or short positions on any asset class over short periods and may have relatively high portfolio turnover.
As disclosed in the Trust’s latest registration statement, the Fund’s total annual operating expenses, including underlying funds, are 1.79% for Class N, 2.79% for Class C and 2.04% 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.

Interest rates broadly ebbed and flowed during the fiscal year, providing interest rate sensitive bonds with strong headwinds, followed by periods of reprieve. Specifically, the 10-year U.S. Treasury yield jumped 68 basis points during the fiscal year, as investment-grade bonds in general, as measured by the Bloomberg Barclays U.S. Aggregate Bond Index, fell 0.5 percent. When focusing solely on investment-grade corporate bonds, as measured by the ICE BofA Merrill Lynch U.S. Corporate Bond Index, the return for the 12-month period was a positive 2.3 percent. As these asset groups tend to have higher durations, usually in the 5-year range, the rise in yields corresponded with a meaningful decline in principal values. Conversely, high-yield bonds, as measured by the ICE BofA U.S. Cash Pay High-Yield Index, enjoyed another positive fiscal year, surging 10.6 percent, as their relatively lower duration corresponded with a subdued decline in principal values. Within the high-yield bond sector, CCC-rated bonds continued to outperform the broader high-yield bond market, increasing 22.8 percent, while BB-rated bonds increased 9.0 percent.
Allocation Review
As higher duration bonds saw a greater adverse impact than lower duration bonds, the Sub-Adviser generally targets an overall duration of 1 year for the Fund. This served as a meaningful source of risk mitigation during the fiscal year. In addition, the Fund continued to primarily hold high-yield bonds, although it also held some investment-grade bonds, as well. However, the Sub-Adviser continued to utilize derivatives such as credit default swaps to take short positions in baskets of high-yield and investment -grade securities. As the fiscal year neared its end, the notional value of these credit hedges comprised close to 25 percent of the Fund. This does not include the additional 3. 5 percent in single-name credit default swaps, which are generally part of a pairs trade strategy – therefore, the total allocation to pairs trading was close to 7 percent. One of the greatest differences in the allocation of the Fund in the final fiscal quarter compared to the beginning of the fiscal year was the increase in exposure to preferred stocks. At the end of the fiscal year, the Fund had approximately 7 percent allocated to preferred stocks. The Fund had approximately 10 percent allocated to catalyst- driven prospects and close to 13 percent in opportunistic trading. The core long holdings, which included the preferred stocks, accounted for approximately 24 percent of the Fund, while the rate hedging strategy accounted for 25 percent of the Fund’s holdings.
Holdings Insights
Although the bond market as a whole faced headwinds during the 12-month period, the short positions in the Fund tended to detract overall during the fiscal year. The Fund’s largest credit shorts near the end of the fiscal year were CDX NA IG 37 (CDXIG37) (holding notional weight*: 17.96 percent), which generally tracks the inverse risk of a basket of investment-grade bonds, and the CDX NA HY 36 (CDXNAHY36) (holding notional weight*: 6.13 percent), which generally tracks the inverse risk of a basket of high-yield bonds. These credit default swap baskets differ from total return swaps, as they are designed to focus on the premiums paid for taking on credit risk as opposed to tracking the total return of a single bond or basket of bonds. Therefore, although investment-grade bonds generally experienced a negative return during the final months of the fiscal year and high-yield bonds generally boasted a positive return, the premium that investors required for the credit risk on both sets of bonds slightly increased, resulting in a slight positive return for both credit default swap baskets. Since the positions were added near the end of September, CDXIG37 returned approximately 0.1 percent, while the CDXNAHY36 returned 0.8 percent. For most of the fiscal year, the Fund utilized total return swaps on the iBoxx USD Liquid High-Yield Index (IBOXHY) (holding notional weight*: -5.79 percent) instead of the CDX NA HY 36. The Fund’s total return swap on the IBOXHY generally tracks the inverse total return of an index of high-yield bonds. From the beginning of the fiscal year through September 2021, the IBOXHY increased 9.8 percent, detracting a similar amount to the Fund due to the short position accessed through the swaps.
Despite headwinds in the investment-grade bond sector, the Fund generally benefitted from its holdings in Pacific Life Insurance Company 9.25% 6/15/2039 (694475AA2) (holding weight*: 0.76 percent), an American insurance company providing life insurance products, annuities, and mutual funds, and Northern Trust Capital II Floating Rate 4/15/2027 (629398AA6) (holding weight**: 1.16 percent), one of the largest banking institutions in the United States and one of the oldest banks in continuous operation. The Northern Trust position was part of the catalyst- driven strategy, as the company called the bonds at par due to their declining capital efficiency. While the Pacific Life bonds returned 13.0 percent since the holding was added in December 2020 through the end of the fiscal year, the Northern Trust bonds returned 4.7 percent from when the bonds were purchased in February 2021 through mid-October, when they were called at par.
The Fund did not have meaningful detractors that were held for the entire fiscal year. However, New Fortress Energy, Inc. 6.5% 9/30/2026 (644393AB6) (holding weight*: 0.72 percent), a liquefied natural gas company, generally detracted since it was added to the Fund in March 2021. New Fortress investors generally shied away from the bonds toward the end of the fiscal year as one of its natural gas liquefaction and transportation projects hit a snag. The bonds tumbled 2.2 percent in the final fiscal quarter, dragging the performance to a negative 0.2 percent since being added through the end of the fiscal year. Despite being a drag on performance in the final fiscal quarter, dropping 2.9 percent, the Fund’s position in the preferred stock of KKR Real Estate Finance Trust, Inc. (48251K209) (holding weight*: 1.16 percent), a global provider of equity and debt capital across real estate investment strategies, was a positive contributor since it was added in April 2021. The KKR Real Estate preferred stock returned 6.9 percent since it was added to the Fund.
Sub-Adviser Outlook
The Sub-Adviser remains concerned that valuations are high, but acknowledges that the technical backdrop is strong for the credit markets. The Sub-Adviser is also cognizant that tight valuations do not always portend a near-term correction. Therefore, the Sub-Adviser has continued to take on risk where it believes that the reward is not only ample, but also may provide a potential positive catalyst or are represented by underfollowed situations that may be mispriced. In addition, to help manage risk, the Sub- Adviser continues to implement macro hedges, which have broadly cheapened overall due to the continued euphoria in the credit markets. In the event that spreads were to meaningfully widen, the Sub-Adviser is optimistic that this may expose attractive opportunities to increase the Fund’s risk exposure, but plans to retain a more conservative positioning given the current backdrop.

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%. Investors cannot invest directly in an index or benchmark.
The Morningstar Nontraditional Bond Category is generally representative of mutual funds that deploy absolute return strategies, strategies that are low-correlated to the overall bond market, and strategies that take long and short market and security-level positions.
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 1.45% for Class N, 2.45% for Class C and 1.70% for Class A.

Message from the Sub-Adviser (Grantham, Mayo, Van Otterloo & Co., LLC) |
Asset Class Recap
Although deals continued to close within the event-driven space during the fiscal year, overall deal spreads remained fairly wide. Participants in the space skittishly approached deals, as regulatory concerns loomed in the second half of the fiscal year - particularly concerns that specific deals or industries may be directly targeted for anti -trust litigation at the direction of the current administration. During the fiscal year, the Barclays Merger Arbitrage U.S. Index rose 5.3 percent, while broad U.S. equities, as measured by the S&P 500 Index, surged 42.9 percent and broad U.S. fixed income, as measured by the Bloomberg Barclays U.S. Aggregated Bond Index, fell 0.5 percent. Aside from regulatory concerns, market volatility has traditionally correlated with wider spreads, as a higher CBOE Volatility Index (VIX), which measures the stock market’s expectation of volatility based on S&P index options, often coincided with larger margins on deals. The significant dispersion that currently exists in the mergers and acquisitions (M&A) space has not deterred many companies from identifying targets, as deal activity has reached 4.2 trillion in 2021 alone. Despite two more months remaining in 2021, this is already $ 500 billion greater than 2020 and appears to be on track to be in- line with 2019. While there are many mega-deals in the works, 2021 has already boasted close to 35,000 deals globally, which is nearly 10 percent higher than the record-setting 2019. With many deals to go around, participants who are scurrying away from one deal with even the slightest hint of regulatory pressure have many other active deals to choose from.
Allocation Review
Despite the substantial abundance of deals available to choose from, the Sub-Adviser has maintained a selective list that it has incorporated into the Fund. In general, these deals ranged in size from $2 billion up to almost $50 billion. While larger deals are generally more front-and-center and can raise anti-trust concerns, they have historically been well-equipped to provide concessions to regulators. Nonetheless, some of the mega-deals that have broken earlier this year opted not to make the adjustments and divestitures requested by regulators and instead walked away, which is what shocked the M&A space earlier this year. Therefore, the Sub-Adviser’s mix of deal size combined with a diversified group of industries may help in the event that additional individual deals are identified as concerns by officials. The Sub-adviser primarily hedges the exposures in a deal by shorting shares of the acquiring company if its shares are part of the deal terms. The use of derivatives in the Sub-Adviser’s strategy is generally rare and are generally employed in small amounts when there may be some aspect of a deal that shorting acquirer shares may not fully address. Therefore, the Fund did not have any derivatives exposure that had a meaningful impact on the Fund’s performance since the Sub-Adviser took over management of the Fund’s investments in April. Prior to April, the Fund did have exposure to SWAPs, including basket SWAPs, but the overall exposure represented close to 3 percent of the Fund’s assets. Therefore, the exposure to the SWAPs and options contracts had a minimal impact on the Fund’s performance.
Holdings Insights
As the more recent backdrop in the event-driven space may be broadly interpreted as bleak, this has translated to sizable bounties for merger arbitrage investors in successful deals. For example, the Fund held the cash-only acquisition of W.R. Grace & Company (GRA) (holding weight**: 0.93 percent), an American specialty chemical business, by Standard Industries Holdings, Inc., a non-public building products manufacturer. The Fund entered the merger at an approximate 1.0 percent spread with only 40 days until the deal was slated to close. Therefore, on an annualized basis, this spread was approximately 8.6 percent. The deal closed in the latter half of September, and the Sub-Adviser redeployed the proceeds into other deals that it believed offered similarly attractive risk-adjusted spreads. Another merger that closed prior to the fiscal year-end was the cash-only acquisition of Dialog Semiconductor Plc (DLG GR) (holding weight**: 1.97 percent), a European provider of mixed- signal circuits for smartphones, tablets, and other portable devices, by Renesas Electronics Corp. (6723 JP) (not held), a Japanese semiconductor manufacturer. The Sub-Adviser added the holding in early June, approximately three months prior to the anticipated closing date. At that point, the deal was trading at a 2.9 percent spread, which when annualized was approximately 13.4 percent. As overall market volatility crept up in mid-June, which compounded with broad anxiety in the event-driven space, the spread on the DLG GR deal widened to over 4.0 percent (an approximate 23 percent annualized spread), which the Sub-Adviser capitalized on by adding more to the Fund. While it is not uncommon for deals that require approvals in multiple jurisdictions to trade at a higher spread compared to deals that fall within a single jurisdiction, these spread levels are broadly unprecedented.
Not all deals traded at significant spread levels. For example, the Fund participated in the stock-for-stock acquisition of Five9, Inc. (FIVN) (holding weight**: 1.06 percent), a multi-tenant cloud contact center service or contact center as a service, by Zoom Video Communications, Inc. (ZM) (holding weight**: -1.03 percent), an audio/video communications company. Prior to this $14 billion deal’s termination at the end of September, it was trading at close to a negative 13.6 percent spread (not annualized). The Sub- Adviser had initiated the position into the Fund at an approximate 3.7 percent positive spread and then proceeded to exit the position as the spread closed and inverted, which was a positive contribution to Fund performance. Deal spreads can invert for a variety of reasons, but most often it is due to speculation that the target company’s shareholders are anticipated to demand a higher bid price for their stock and that the acquirer, or potentially a different suitor, will offer a higher price to entice a vote in favor of an acquisition. Although rarer than successful completions, deal terminations do occur and the Fund continued to suffer from the broken deal between Willis Towers Watson PLC (WLTW) (holding weight*: 6.62 percent) by Aon PLC (AON) (holding weight*: -7.09 percent), which was officially terminated at the end of July. Since the deal broke, the spread (assuming the deal terms) widened from 31.8 percent to 42.6 percent at the end of the fiscal year. At the end of the second fiscal quarter, prior to the deal termination, the spread was only 4.9 percent. Therefore, this broken deal marked the largest overall detractor from Fund performance during the fiscal year.
Sub-Adviser Outlook
The Sub-Adviser continues to believe that the event-driven space, in which merger arbitrage is the primary strategy, continues to suffer from a supply/demand imbalance as well as participants that are easily scared out of deals. It believes that the WLTW/AON deal break triggered a historic widening of spreads, given the technical imbalances previously noted combined with worries about potential changes in the U.S. anti- trust landscape and heightened volatility in global markets. Therefore, the Sub-Adviser believes that M&A investors with a long-term mindset may be rewarded if they focus on the fundamentals and do not allow the current volatility to frighten them away.

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. Investors cannot invest directly in an index or benchmark.
The Morningstar Event Driven Category is generally representative of mutual funds that primarily employ strategies that seek to profit from corporate actions, such as mergers and acquisitions. Mutual funds in this category typically focus on equity securities but can invest across the capital structure. However, they typically have low to moderate equity market sensitivity since company-specific developments tend to drive security prices.
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 2.22% for Class N, 3.22% for Class C and 2.47% 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 Real Estate Stock Fund (Unaudited) |
Message from the Sub-Adviser (American Assets Capital Advisers, LLC) |
Asset Class Recap
Although real estate stocks, as measured by the Dow Jones U.S. Real Estate Total Return Index, have historically exhibited periods of differentiated returns versus the broad U.S. stock market, as measured by the S&P 500 Index, this past fiscal year did not highlight how real estate can differ. Following a very similar ebb and flow to broad U.S. stocks, real estate stocks ended the fiscal 12-month period up 44.2 percent. The broad U.S. stock market ended the same period with a relatively similar 42.9 percent return. When exploring below the surface, there was sizable dispersion within the real estate stock universe, as overarching themes such as the economic recovery and political focus intertwined with company- specific issues. Very few real estate industries saw a “rising tide lifts all boats” scenario, nor were there many instances where declines were widespread. Therefore, while the space as a whole appeared to behave much like the broad U.S. stock market, a higher level of dispersion in returns below the surface evidenced that the overall rise in real estate stocks varied greatly from its constituents.
Allocation Review
The Sub-Adviser is very selective in its approach to real estate stocks, focusing on what it perceives to be real estate companies that have pricing power over their tenants. The Sub-Adviser seeks to identify stocks with oligopolistic traits that may be inherent in the type of real estate it owns or that are unique to its business structure. One of the largest examples of this in the Fund is the exposure to real estate stocks in the telecommunications industry, primarily related to cell towers. The Sub-Adviser generally avoids stocks of companies with little pricing power, such as retail real estate stocks. In areas such as office or residential real estate stocks, the Sub-Adviser generally seeks individual stocks that it believes exhibit qualities that may allow it to better retain tenants and have more control over pricing than its industry peers. One of the areas that had been a significant detractor from the Fund earlier in the fiscal year was the casinos and gaming industry, but during the rest of the fiscal year, this proved to be one of the strongest performing areas for the Fund.
Holdings Insights
Although the telecommunications industry group detracted from Fund performance overall, the Fund’s holdings within the industry had materially different experiences during the fiscal year. For example, the Fund held Switch Inc. – A (SWCH) (holding weight*: 4.41 percent), a data center operator that provides colocation and cloud services, as well as Vnet Group, Inc. ADR (VNET) (holding weight*: 5.22 percent), the leading carrier-neutral and cloud- neutral internet data center services provider in China, and Chindata Group Holdings – ADR (CD) (holding weight*: 6.93 percent), a hyper scale data center solution provider in Asia-Pacific emerging markets. As political pressures in China focused on slowing the stream of its tech companies listing in the U.S., VNET and CD dropped precipitously, declining 31.7 percent and 28.6 percent, respectively during the fiscal year. However, SWCH closed out the fiscal year up 81.9 percent, while beating analyst earnings expectations early in the fourth fiscal quarter.
Real estate gaming stocks comprised approximately 2 percent of the benchmark index, but the Fund’s exposure was closer to 13 percent during the fiscal year. Therefore, the Fund’s strong performance within the industry during the fiscal year meaningfully improved relative performance. For example, the Fund held Caesars Entertainment Inc. (CZR) (holding weight*: 9.27 percent), an American hotel and casino entertainment company, MGM Resorts International (MGM) (holding weight*: 2.85 percent), a global hospitality and entertainment company, and Wynn Resorts Ltd. (WYNN) (holding weight*: 1.16 percent), a developer and operator of high end hotels and casinos, including Macau. Although WYNN declined 8.7 percent in the final fiscal quarter, as China enhanced regulations on gaming, over-spending, and private tutoring to support Xi Jinping’s common prosperity agenda, the stock increased 24.0 percent during the fiscal year. During the 12-month period, CZR and MGM surged 144.2 percent and 129.3 percent, respectively, as CZR expanded its capabilities in the sports betting world and MGM cleaned up some lower performing business lines.
Residential is one of the largest real estate industries in the benchmark index at approximately 15 percent. The Fund maintained an approximate 8 percent exposure to the industry over the fiscal year. Overall, the Fund’s exposure detracted from relative performance as American Homes 4 Rent – A (AMH) (holding weight*: 2.51 percent), a collection of more than 50,000 single-family rentals across 22 states, increased 45.0 percent while the residential real estate industry in the benchmark index surged 68.3 percent during the same time period. The Fund had a similar experience within the office real estate industry. The Fund held Alexandria Real Estate Equities (ARE) (holding weight*: 3.67 percent), an owner of office buildings and laboratories leased to tenants in the life science and technology industries, which appreciated 38.1 percent during the fiscal year. However, the industry group as a whole increased 45.7 percent, causing ARE to be listed as a relative detractor from performance.
Sub-Adviser Outlook
The Sub-Adviser believes that real estate performs better over time when it is more difficult to supply, the demand is less cyclical, and tenants are reluctant to leave. Therefore, the Fund generally has higher weightings in real estate sectors that share these four characteristics: oligopoly or duopoly sector structure; high barriers to entry for new owners/developers; high barriers to exit for tenants; and secular demand drivers underlying the user side of the business. The Sub-Adviser is confident that it may continue to find combinations of these four characteristics (or some subset), which creates a competitive landscape where tenants have fewer options to move or play one building owner against another. The Sub-Adviser believes that over the long-term, the properties with these characteristics potentially can command higher occupancy rates and better rents.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS |
October 31, 2021 |
Each Dunham Fund (each, a “Fund” and collectively the “Funds”) is a series of shares of beneficial interest in the Dunham Funds (the “Trust”), a Delaware Business Trust organized on November 28, 2007 and registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, (the “1940 Act”) as an open-end management investment company. The Dunham Funds currently consist of fourteen funds: Dunham Corporate/Government Bond Fund; Dunham Floating Rate Bond Fund; Dunham High-Yield Bond Fund; Dunham International Opportunity Bond Fund; Dunham Large Cap Value Fund; Dunham Small Cap Value Fund; Dunham Focused Large Cap Growth Fund; Dunham Small Cap Growth Fund; Dunham Emerging Markets Stock Fund; Dunham International Stock Fund; Dunham Dynamic Macro Fund; Dunham Long/Short Credit Fund; Dunham Monthly Distribution Fund; and Dunham Real Estate Stock Fund.

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 distribution 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.”
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS |
October 31, 2021(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, Debt securities including Bank Loans (other than short-term obligations) are valued each day by an independent pricing service elected by Dunham & Associates Investment Counsel, Inc. (“Dunham & Associates” or the “Adviser”) and approved by the Board using methods which include current market quotations from a major market maker in the securities and based on methods which include the consideration of yields or prices of securities of comparable quality, coupon, maturity and type. 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. Foreign currency and forward currency exchange contracts are valued daily at the London Stock Exchange close each day.
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 or closed-end investment companies (the “Underlying Funds”). The Underlying Funds 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 upon the methods established by the board of directors of the Underlying Funds. The shares of many closed-end investment companies, after their initial public offering, frequently trade at a price per share, which is different than the net asset value per share. The difference represents a market premium or market discount of such shares. There can be no assurances that the market discount or market premium on shares of any closed-end investment company purchased by a Fund will not change.

Open-end investment companies are valued at their respective net asset values as reported by such investment companies. The shares of many closed-end investment companies, after their initial public offering, frequently trade at a price per share, which is different than the net asset value per share. The difference represents a market premium or market discount of such shares. There can be no assurances that the market discount or market premium on shares of any closed-end investment company purchased by the Funds will not change.
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 October 31, 2021 for the Funds’ assets and liabilities measured at fair value:

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 and are included
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS |
October 31, 2021(Continued) |
with the net realized and unrealized gain or loss on investment securities. 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.
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
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS |
October 31, 2021(Continued) |
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 – The Funds may sell a security that it does not own in anticipation of a decline in the fair value of that security. When the Company sells a security short, it must borrow the security sold short and deliver it to the broker-dealer through which it made the short sale. A gain, limited to the price at which the Company sold the security short, or a loss, unlimited in size, will be recognized upon the termination of a short sale. The Company is also subject to the risk that it may be unable to reacquire a security to terminate a short position except at a price substantially in excess of the last quoted price. The Company’s borrowing agreements with broker-dealers are not subject to master netting or similar agreements or collateral agreements.

l. 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.
m. 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. The Fund recharacterizes distributions received from REIT investments based on information provided by the REIT into the following categories: ordinary income, long-term capital gains, and return of capital. If information is not available on a timely basis from the REIT, the recharacterization will be estimated based on available information which may include the previous year’s allocation. If new or additional information becomes available from the REIT at a later date, a recharacterization will be made in the following year.
n. 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 |
October 31, 2021(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.
o. LIBOR Risk – The Funds may invest in securities and other instruments whose interest payments are determined by references to the London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”).
The United Kingdom Financial Conduct Authority, which regulates LIBOR, announced that after 2021 it will cease its active encouragement of banks to provide the quotations needed to sustain LIBOR. On March 5, 2021, ICE Benchmark Administration Limited, the administrator of LIBOR, announced its intention to cease publishing a majority of the USD LIBOR rates after publication on June 30, 2023, with the one week and two months USD LIBOR rates to cease after publication on December 31, 2021. The U.S. Federal Reserve, based on the recommendations of the Alternative Reference Rates Committee (comprised of major derivative market participants and their regulators), has begun publishing Secured Overnight Financing Rate (SOFR), a broad measure of secured overnight U.S. Treasury repo rates, that is intended to replace USD LIBOR. Proposals for alternative reference rates for other currencies have also been announced or have already begun publication. The unavailability of LIBOR presents risks to the Fund, including the risk that any pricing or adjustments to the Fund’s investments resulting from a substitute or alternate reference rate may adversely affect the Fund’s performance and/or NAV. It remains uncertain how such changes would be implemented and the effects such changes would have on the Fund, including any negative effects on the Fund’s liquidity and valuation of the Fund’s investments, issuers of instruments in which the Fund invests and financial markets generally.
p. Natural Disaster/Epidemic Risk – Natural or environmental disasters, such as earthquakes, fires, floods, hurricanes, tsunamis, and other severe weather-related phenomena generally, and widespread disease and illness, including pandemics and epidemics, have been and can be highly disruptive to economies and markets. They may adversely impact individual companies, sectors, industries, markets, currencies, interest and inflation rates, credit ratings, investor sentiment, and other factors affecting the value of the Funds’ investments. For example, the novel coronavirus (COVID -19), which was first detected in 2019, has resulted in, among other things, stressors to healthcare service infrastructure, country border closings, business and school closings, and disruptions to supply chains and customer activity. Natural disaster/epidemic risk could have a significant adverse impact on the Funds’ portfolio investments.
q. 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 2018 to 2020 and expected to be taken in tax year 2021 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 and California. 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.
r. 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.
s. 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.
t. 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. |

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. Floating Rate Bond and Monthly Distribution, which are in the initial year of new Fulcrum Fee arrangements, are calculating Performance Fees based on the inception dates as of October 1, 2021 and April 1, 2021, respectively.
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 and accumulated net realized gain 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, swap and 1256 futures contracts, and adjustments for partnerships, perpetual bonds, debt modification, defaulted income bonds, passive foreign investment companies, C Corporation return of capital distributions and dividend payable. 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 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:

During the fiscal year ended October 31, 2021, the Funds utilized tax equalization which is the use of earnings and profits distributions to shareholders on redemption of shares as part of the dividends paid deduction for income tax purposes.

Currently, the Funds have a $50,000,000 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 were as follows:
| | Average borrowings | | | Average | |
Fund | | outstanding | | | borrowings rate | |
Corporate/Government Bond | | $ | 834,750 | | | | 2.75 | % |
Floating Rate Bond | | | 601,633 | | | | 2.75 | % |
Small Cap Value | | | 1,378,000 | | | | 2.75 | % |
Focused Large Cap Growth | | | 1,684,600 | | | | 2.75 | % |
Small Cap Growth | | | 2,441,667 | | | | 2.75 | % |
Emerging Markets Stock | | | 639,000 | | | | 2.75 | % |
International Stock | | | 1,107,417 | | | | 2.75 | % |
Monthly Distribution | | | 823,833 | | | | 2.75 | % |
Real Estate Stock | | | 120,800 | | | | 2.75 | % |
The interest expense for all the Funds listed above is immaterial.
As of October 31, 2021, 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 year ended October 31, 2021.
The Funds have entered into separate Securities Lending Agreements (“Agreements”) with the Bank 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 the Bank. Each participating Fund can lend their securities to brokers, dealers and other financial institutions approved by the Board to earn additional income. Loans are collateralized at a value at least equal to 105% of the then current market value of any loaned security that are foreign, or 102% of the then current market value of any other loaned security. 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 the Bank or SFTC as lending agent and the remainder is paid to the Fund(s).
Securities lending income 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.
As of October 31, 2021 the below table shows the securities loan and collateral for the loan both of which are presented gross on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. All individual open security loan transactions were overcollateralized. This cash is invested in the Mount Vernon Liquid Assets Portfolio.

The Funds invest in other investment companies. Each underlying fund, including each ETF, is subject to specific risks, depending on the nature of the underlying fund. These risks could include liquidity risk, sector risk, foreign and related currency risk and high yield risk. Investors in the Funds will indirectly bear fees and expenses charged by the underlying investment companies in which the Funds invest in addition to the Funds’ direct fees and expenses. All the Funds may invest in investment companies. Such investments would subject the Funds to similar risks.
The performance of Dynamic Macro will be directly affected by the performance of the SPDR S&P 500 ETF Trust. 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 Dynamic Macro’s financial statements. As of October 31, 2021, the percentage of Dynamic Macro invested in the SPDR S&P 500 ETF Trust was 25.4%.
| 11. | NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS |
In March 2020, FASB issued ASU 2020-04, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting (’‘ASU 2020-04’’). The amendments in ASU 2020-04 provide optional temporary financial reporting relief from the effect of certain types of contract modifications due to the planned discontinuation of LIBOR and other interbank-offered based reference rates as of the end of 2021. ASU 2020-04 is effective for certain reference rate-related contract modifications that occur during the period March 12, 2020 through December 31, 2022. Management is currently evaluating the impact, if any of applying this ASU.
In October 2020, the SEC adopted new regulations governing the use of derivative by registered investment companies (“Rule 18f-4”). Rule 18f-4 will impose limits on the amount of derivatives a Fund can enter into, eliminate the asset segregation framework currently used by funds to comply with Section 18 of the 1940 Act, and require funds whose use of derivatives is greater than a limited specified amount to establish and maintain a comprehensive derivatives risk management program and appoint a derivatives risk manager. Funds will be required to comply with Rule 18f-4 by August 19,2022. It is not currently clear what impact, if any, Rule 18f-4 will have on the availability, liquidity or performance of derivatives. Management is currently evaluating the potential impact of Rule 18f-4 on the Funds. When fully implemented, Rule 18f-4 may require changes in how a Fund uses derivatives, adversely affect the Fund’s performance and increase costs related to the Funds’ use of derivatives.
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.
REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the Board of Trustees and the Shareholders of Dunham Funds
Opinion on the Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying statements of assets and liabilities of Dunham Corporate/Government Bond Fund, Dunham Floating Rate Bond Fund, Dunham High-Yield Bond Fund, Dunham International Opportunity Bond Fund, Dunham Large Cap Value Fund, Dunham Small Cap Value Fund, Dunham Focused Large Cap Growth Fund, Dunham Small Cap Growth Fund, Dunham Emerging Markets Stock Fund, Dunham International Stock Fund, Dunham Dynamic Macro Fund, Dunham Long/Short Credit Fund, Dunham Monthly Distribution Fund, and Dunham Real Estate Stock Fund, each a series of shares of beneficial interest in Dunham Funds (the “Funds”), including the schedules of investments, as of October 31, 2021, and the related statements of operations for the year then ended, the statements of changes in net assets for each of the years in the two-year period then ended, the financial highlights for each of the years in the five-year period then ended, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the “financial statements”). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Funds as of October 31, 2021, and the results of their operations for the year then ended, the changes in their net assets for each of the years in the two-year period then ended and their financial highlights for each of the years in the five-year period then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
Basis for Opinion
These financial statements are the responsibility of the Funds’ management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Funds’ financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (“PCAOB”) and are required to be independent with respect to the Funds in accordance with the U.S. federal securities law and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Funds are not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of their internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audits we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Funds’ internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.
Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risk of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of October 31, 2021 by correspondence with the custodian, brokers, agent bank, or by other appropriate auditing procedures where replies from brokers were not received. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
BBD, LLP
We have served as the auditor of one or more of the Funds in the Dunham Funds since 2007.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION (Unaudited) |
Dunham Dynamic Macro Fund
15(c) BOARD CONSIDERATIONS
June 15, 2021
On June 15, 2021, 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”) for the following Trust series (the “Fund”):
Fund | Sub-Advisory Agreement |
Dunham Dynamic Macro Fund | Newton Investment Management North America, LLC |
| |
The Sub-Advisory Agreement with Newton Investment Management North America, LLC (“Newton” or the “Sub -Adviser”) would take effect on or about August 31, 2021. Newton would take over sub-advisory responsibilities from the current sub-adviser Mellon Investments Corporation (“Mellon”). The Bank of New York Mellon Corporation (“BNY”) is the ultimate parent company of Newton and Mellon.
In considering the Sub-Advisory Agreement, the Independent Trustees had requested and reviewed materials that Dunham & Associates Investment Counsel, Inc. (the “Adviser”) and the Sub-Adviser provided prior to and during the meeting. The Independent Trustees also had reviewed a memorandum from Fund counsel that addressed their fiduciary duties pertaining to the new Sub-Advisory Agreement and the factors they should consider in evaluating the Sub-Advisory Agreement.
Among other information, the Adviser and Newton provided information to assist the Independent Trustees in assessing the nature, extent and quality of services provided, information comparing the investment performance, sub-advisory fees and operating expense ratio of the Fund to other funds, information about estimated profitability and/or financial condition and compliance and regulatory matters. The Board determined that, given the totality of the information provided with respect to the Sub-Advisory Agreement, the Board had received sufficient information to approve the Sub-Advisory Agreement.
Based upon its review, the Board concluded that it was in the best interests of the Fund that the Sub-Advisory Agreement be approved. In considering the approval of the Sub -Advisory Agreement, the Board did not identify any single factor or group of factors as all-important or controlling, and considered a variety of factors in its analysis, including those discussed below. The Board did not allot a particular weight to any one factor or group of factors.
| II. | Sub-Advisory Agreement |
Nature, Extent and Quality of Services. In considering the approval of the Sub-Advisory Agreement between the Fund and Newton, the Board considered the nature, extent and quality of services Newton would provide under the Sub-Advisory Agreement. The Board reviewed the background of the investment professionals that would service the Fund, and Newton’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 the Sub-Advisory Agreement approval was necessary due to BNY restructuring its investment advisory business, which included the Fund’s current sub-adviser Mellon and the new sub-adviser Newton. The Board noted in particular that the entire current 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 concluded that the services Newton 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.
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION (Unaudited) (Continued) |
The Board also noted in particular ‘that since the portfolio management team 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 Newton would provide should be satisfactory.
Sub-Advisory Fees and Economies of Scale. The Board considered the Fund’s sub-advisory fee schedule and noted the fees charged to comparable portfolios, if any, that the Sub-Adviser managed. The Board considered that the fee schedule was negotiated between the Adviser and the Sub-Adviser, an unaffiliated third party.
The Board 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 the 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 the Sub-Adviser’s skill, rather than to random performance fluctuations, and the performance fee aligns the 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 Sub -Adviser takes over from the current sub-adviser, Mellon. The Fund will pay a “fulcrum fee” consisting of: a “base fee” of 75 basis points (0.75%) annually; and a “performance fee” at a rate that will vary by up to +/-35 bps (0.35%). The Board concluded that the Sub-Adviser’s fees were in a reasonable range.
The Board reviewed the relevance of economies of scale in the context of the Sub-Adviser that receives a performance-based fee. The Board agreed that the Adviser had successfully negotiated a favorable base fee with the 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 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 the Sub-Adviser’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 the Sub-Adviser, an unaffiliated third party. The Board reviewed materials provided regarding any additional benefits the Sub-Adviser would receive.
Conclusion. Based on all of the information considered and the conclusions reached, the Board determined that the terms of the Sub-Advisory Agreement for the Fund are fair and reasonable, and that the approval of the Sub-Advisory Agreement is in the best interests of the Fund.
Dunham International Opportunity Bond Fund
15(c) BOARD CONSIDERATIONS
September 21, 2021
On September 21, 2021, 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 “New Sub-Advisory Agreement”) with Stone Harbor Investment Partners, LP (“Stone Harbor”) on behalf of the Dunham International Opportunity Bond Fund (the “Fund”). The New Sub -Advisory Agreement would take effect upon the change of control of Stone Harbor when Virtus Investment Partners, Inc (“Virtus”) acquires Stone Harbor (the “Acquisition”), which is expected to close in the fourth quarter of 2021.
The Independent Trustees had requested and reviewed materials that Dunham & Associates Investment Counsel, Inc. (the “Adviser”) and Stone Harbor provided prior to and during the meeting and had reviewed a memorandum from Fund counsel that reviewed their fiduciary duties pertaining to the New Sub-Advisory Agreement and the factors they should consider in evaluating the New Sub-Advisory Agreement.
Among other information, the Adviser and Stone Harbor 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 New Sub-Advisory Agreement, the Board had received sufficient information to approve the New Sub-Advisory Agreement. The Independent Trustees and Fund counsel also met to consider the Sub-Advisory Agreement.
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION (Unaudited) (Continued) |
Based upon its review, the Board concluded that it was in the best interests of the Fund that the New Sub-Advisory Agreement be approved. In considering the approval of the New Sub-Advisory Agreement, the Board did not identify any single factor or group of factors as all-important or controlling, and considered a variety of factors in its analysis, including those discussed below. The Board did not allot a particular weight to any one factor or group of factors.

Nature, Extent and Quality of Services. In considering the approval of the New Sub-Advisory Agreement between the Fund and Stone Harbor, the Board considered the nature, extent and quality of services Stone Harbor would provide under the New 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, after the Acquisition, the entire Stone Harbor 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 Stone Harbor compliance team as a result of the transaction. The Board concluded that the services Stone Harbor 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 Stone Harbor began managing the Fund, the Fund has outperformed its benchmark index. The Board concluded that the services Stone Harbor 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 Stone Harbor, an unaffiliated third party.
The Board considered the base fee paid to Stone Harbor when the performance of the 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 Acquisition.
The Board concluded that Stone Harbor’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 Stone Harbor, 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 Stone Harbor’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 Stone Harbor, an unaffiliated third party. The Board reviewed materials provided as to any additional benefits Stone Harbor receives.
Conclusion. Based on all of the information considered and the conclusions reached, the Board determined that the terms of the New Sub-Advisory Agreement for the Fund are fair and reasonable, and that the approval of the New Sub-Advisory Agreement is in the best interests of the Fund.

Dunham Floating Rate Bond Fund
15(c) BOARD CONSIDERATIONS
September 21, 2021
On September 21, 2021, 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 PineBridge Investments, LLC (“PineBridge”) on behalf of the Dunham Floating Rate Bond Fund (the “Fund”). The Sub-Advisory Agreement would take effect on or about October 1, 2021.
In considering the Sub-Advisory Agreement, the Independent Trustees had requested and reviewed materials that Dunham & Associates Investment Counsel, Inc. (the “Adviser”) and PineBridge provided prior to and during the meeting. The Independent Trustees also had reviewed a memorandum from Fund counsel that addressed their fiduciary duties pertaining to the new Sub-Advisory Agreement and the factors they should consider in evaluating the Sub-Advisory Agreement.
Among other information, the Adviser and PineBridge provided information to assist the Independent Trustees in assessing the nature, extent and quality of services provided, information comparing the investment performance, sub-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 did not allot a particular weight to any one factor or group of factors.
| II. | Sub-Advisory Agreement |
Nature, Extent and Quality of Services. In considering the approval of the Sub-Advisory Agreement between the Fund and PineBridge, the Board considered the nature, extent and quality of services PineBridge would provide under the Sub-Advisory Agreement. The Board reviewed the background of the investment professionals that would service the Fund, and PineBridge’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 PineBridge was founded in 2010 and is a private, global asset manager that is a subsidiary of Pacific Century Group, an Asia-based private investment group. PineBridge has approximately $140 billion in assets under management, and currently serves as sub-adviser for the Dunham High-Yield Bond Fund. The Board concluded that the services that the Sub-Adviser would provide should be satisfactory.
Performance. The Board considered that the performance of a similar investment strategy as PineBridge would use for the Fund, the PineBridge Total Return Composite, for various periods compared to its benchmark and peer group. The Board noted the outperformance of the PineBridge Total Return Composite during the 2015, 2018, and 2019 calendar years.
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 PineBridge managed. The Board considered that the fee schedule was negotiated between the Adviser and PineBridge, an unaffiliated third party.
The Board 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 PineBridge 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 PineBridge’s skill, rather than to random performance fluctuations, and the performance fee aligns PineBridge’s interest with those of Fund shareholders.
The Board also noted the Fund will pay a “fulcrum fee” consisting of: a “base fee” of 28 basis points (0.28%) annually; and a “performance fee” at a rate that will vary by up to +/-10 bps (0.10%). The performance fee will be

added to or subtracted from the base fee to arrive at the total fulcrum fee. The comparative index will be the S&P/LSTA U.S. Leveraged Loan 100 Index over the applicable measurement period. The Board concluded that PineBridge’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 PineBridge, 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 PineBridge would not be in the best interests of Fund shareholders at this time.

The Board reviewed materials provided regarding any additional benefits that PineBridge would receive.
Conclusion. Based on all of the information considered and the conclusions reached, the Board determined that the terms of the Sub-Advisory Agreement for the Fund are fair and reasonable, and that the approval of the Sub-Advisory Agreement is in the best interests of the Fund.
DUNHAM FUNDS’ EXPENSES (Unaudited) |
Example
Shareholders of mutual funds will pay (1) transitional costs, such as sales load, and (2) ongoing expenses, such as advisory fees, distribution and service fees (12b-1), and other fund expenses. The following examples are intended to help you understand the ongoing cost (in dollars) of investing in a fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds. Please note, the expenses shown in the tables are meant to highlight ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transactional costs, such as sales charges (loads), or contingent deferred sales charges on redemptions which may be assessed by mutual funds. This Example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period as indicated below.
Actual Expenses
The columns under the heading entitled “Actual” help you estimate the actual expenses you paid over the period. The “Actual-Ending Account Value” shown is derived from the Fund’s actual return, and the “Actual- Expenses Paid During Period” shows the dollar amount that would have been paid by an investor who started with $1,000 in the Fund. To estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period, simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the column under the heading entitled “Actual-Expenses Paid During Period”.
Hypothetical Examples for Comparison Purposes
The columns under the heading entitled “Hypothetical” provide information about hypothetical account value and hypothetical expenses based on the Fund’s actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Fund’s actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Fund and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of other funds.
Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transactional costs which may be applicable to your account. Therefore, the last column of the table (Hypothetical- Expenses Paid During Period) is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transactional costs were included, your costs would have been higher.
