Shareholder Letter (Unaudited)
Dear Fellow Shareholders:
As the Federal Open Market Committee (Fed) is quarrelling with the timing of pivoting toward easing monetary policy, market participants across the spectrum of bonds to stocks have seen much of their overall price movement impacted as the rhetoric shifts. The timing and magnitude of interest rate decreases changed from the beginning of this fiscal year when many market participants expected multiple rate decreases in 2024, to now many participants expecting only one decrease. As the Fed has reiterated that its timing on rate decreases is dependent on economic data improving, particularly on inflation cooling to its target rate, economic releases and their interpretation have been even more impactful to bond and equity price movements.
While investors anticipate the path to long-term average interest rates, the yield curve has remained inverted. With short-term interest rates higher than intermediate-term and long-term interest rates, the discussion of a potential recession has continued. However, the markets do not appear to be pricing in such an adverse outcome, with the S&P 500 Index setting a new all-time high as recent as March. Clearly, greed and euphoria can drive markets upward just as easily as fear and market contagion can see dramatic declines. The VIX Index, also known as the market’s fear-gauge, remained fairly low for most of the six-month period, near levels not seen since before the 2020 pandemic. This indicated that concern for volatility in the markets was relatively low, despite the Fed still struggling to rein in inflation while simultaneously avoiding a recession.
Even if the Fed clarifies its timing and magnitude for interest rate cuts, US markets will still face another uncertainty – who will win the US election. While over the long-term the political party in power may have little impact on market performance, this uncertainty and the direction of important factors such as tax regulations may coincide with some additional volatility. Outside of the United States, other central banks are also working to navigate their own economies to avoid recessions or even promote the next wave of growth. It is unlikely that all of these efforts will be successful, which may result in meaningful dispersion between countries and asset classes. We believe that it is important to maintain a diverse array of tools to navigate this environment and to avoid emotional investing decisions.
I continue to personally invest alongside you, and I remain confident that 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,
Jeffrey A. Dunham

Message from the Sub-Adviser (Virtus Fixed Income Advisers, LLC)
Asset Class Recap
Over the first half of the fiscal year, ended April 30, 2024, investment grade bonds, as measured by the Bloomberg U.S. Aggregate Bond Index rose 5.0 percent. During the period, strong economic reports on the labor market and sticky inflation led to unpredictable interest rates and mostly positive returns in the fixed income markets. Leaving the Federal Reserve (“Fed”) with a challenging decision on their rate cut path. To begin the year market participants priced in the possibility of six 25 basis point rate cuts in 2024. Now as the Feds tone around inflation has evolved the likelihood of rate reductions at that pace have diminished, adversely impacting those who leaned into duration and made the decision to heavily weight U.S. Treasuries on the longer end of the curve during the most recent fiscal quarter. However, the bond rally that took place in November and December was enough to keep most fixed income markets in positive territory. For the six-month period, U.S. longer dated maturities, as measured by ICE BofA current 30-Year US Treasury Index increased 6.6 percent. While the shorter dated 2-year US Treasuries with less interest rate volatility rose only 1.9 percent for the fiscal quarter, as measured by the ICE BofA current 2-Year US Treasury Index. However High Yield bonds, as measured by the ICE BofA US High Yield Index increased 8.9 percent during the period. Showing that investors who hung on to the more risky but higher coupon paying investments were rewarded for it.
Allocation Review
More than half of the U.S. investment-grade bonds in the benchmark index are represented by Treasury and agency mortgage-backed securities. Just those two sectors alone make up nearly 68 percent of the index. So, the majority of returns in the benchmark are dictated by U.S. government related securities, and agency MBS. Far less performance is reflected from investment grade corporate debt, and non-agency mortgage-backed securities. For the period, the Funds slight overweight to investment grade corporate debt positively contributed to the Funds relative performance from both an allocation and security selection standpoint. Another sector that outperformed for the period was the exposure to corporate high-yield bonds. The Sub-Adviser’s roughly 5 percent overweight to the sector enhanced Fund performance. The Funds exposure to U.S. Treasuries was another sector that contributed to positive relative performance. The largest detractors from Fund performance came from the exposure to asset backed securities. Much of the negative contribution was due to the duration exposure the Fund had within this sector relative to the benchmark.
Holdings Insights
Treasuries, specifically with longer dated maturities, outperformed for the period, as rates decreased. The same goes for the two 5 and 6 percent Freddie Mac mortgage pools, as spreads tightened from an attractive basis versus U.S Treasury alternatives. One specific position that positively contributed to the Fund’s performance was Broward County FL Water & Sewer Utility Revenue 4.00%, due 10/01/2047 (115117NJ8) (holding weight**: 0.21 percent), a municipal bond which rose 16.7 percent from a price return perspective, in addition to duration, municipals have rallied since the October lows. Another investment grade corporate bond that outperformed was Bank of America Corporation 2.687%, due 04/22/2032 (06051GJT7) (holding weight*: 0.45 percent). Bank of America 2032 bonds spreads tightened over the six-month period, from 179 basis points to 112 basis points. The credit performance was likely due to net interest margins improving with rising rates, and unlike some of their peers, Bank of America did not have deposit pressure during the Silicon Valley Bank (SBV) (not held) failure. Over the period the holding increased 7.9 percent. Lastly, MDC Holdings Inc. 3.966%, due 08/06/2061 (552676AV0) (holding weight**: 0.46 percent) increased 23.3 percent, after a Japanese homebuilder announced an offering to acquire MDC.
When looking at individual holdings, Del Monte Foods, Inc. Floating Rate, due 05/16/2029 (BL3847425) (holding weight*: 0.08 percent) acted as a detractor to Fund performance. For the period the position fell 12.7 percent, after Del Monte Foods reported weak earnings, and has been facing cost inflation. Additionally, the demand for their products have started to normalize since the pandemic. Roche Holdings, Inc. 5.218%, due 03/08/2054 (771196CM2) (holding weight*: 0.18 percent) was another position that underperformed, falling 4.8 percent. This bonds decline was largely due to the duration impact, and because the Sub-Adviser entered the position in March, they did not receive a full half year of coupon payments to provide any meaningful offset for returns. Similarly, Northen Natural Gas Company 5.625%, due 02/01/2054 (665501AN2) (holding weight*: 0.21 percent) was down 4.5 percent, mostly because of unfortunate timing, right before long term rates started rising.
Sub-Adviser Outlook
The Sub-Adviser recognizes that rate cuts are on the horizon this year, but patience is key, modestly adding to duration throughout the period and making sure the Fund is fairly compensated for the duration risk assumed. The Sub-Adviser believes valuations in the investment-grade corporate bond space may not currently fully reflect the risks and volatility that may persist. Interest rates remain the main story as fundamentals and valuations may not be revisited as performance drivers until there is a better sense for the timing and severity of the Federal Reserve’s interest rate decisions. As yields are currently near 10-year highs, there have been more discussions about how both high quality and low-quality companies may refinance their debt that is maturing over the next year. The Sub-Adviser is optimistic that it can capitalize on dislocated valuations during spikes in volatility within the fixed income markets.

Asset Class Recap
The U.S. Federal Reserve’s decision to keep rates unchanged in its final meeting of 2023 and its first meeting of 2024, along with ongoing disinflation, spurred optimism that interest rates have hit a plateau and inflation is easing towards its 2 percent target. Economic data reported during the fiscal quarter proved resilient, adding to mounting evidence that the Federal Reserve is capable of engineering a soft landing. In response, risk assets surged higher, and U.S. Treasury Yields declined. Over the first fiscal quarter, the yield on the 10-year U.S. Treasury declined 101 basis points to 3.91 percent, and the more Fed sensitive 2 year U.S. Treasury fell 88 basis points to 4.20 percent. However, over the most recent fiscal quarter the yield on the 10-year U.S. Treasury added 76 basis points to 4.68 percent, and the 2-year U.S. Treasury jumped 83 basis points to 5.04 percent. inflation measures showed a lack of progress toward the Federal Reserve’s long-term target. The Consumer Price Index topped forecasts for the March period, up 3.5 percent on an annualized basis versus expectations for 3.4 percent and higher than the reading of 3.2 percent for February. Treasury rates were also bolstered by comments from officials at the Federal Reserve implying rates could remain higher for longer. With futures pushing back the timetable for rate cuts further, the largest price declines for loans were concentrated among lower rated credits struggling with elevated interest burdens. Floating rate bonds, as measured by the Morningstar LSTA US Leveraged Loan 100 Index, securitized asset pools, known as collateralized loan obligations (CLO), as measured by the Palmer Square CLO Debt Index, increased 3.6 percent and 6.2 percent, respectively, over the six month period, but underperformed high-yield bonds, as measured by the ICE BofA U.S. Cash Pay High-Yield Index, which added 8.4 percent.
Allocation Review
The Fund continued to primarily hold floating rate securities, which was predominately comprised of bank loans and CLOs. In aggregate, the Fund held approximately 91 percent in these two categories, with close to 11 percent allocated to CLOs and 80 percent allocated to bank loans. The Fund’s allocation to CLOs meaningfully contributed to Fund performance over the most recent fiscal quarter amid a supportive technical environment, while the loan exposure slightly detracted. In terms of demand, institutional loan issuance was stable in most recent fiscal quarter as familiar trends carried over from the first quarter. Higher loan prices continued to facilitate opportunistic transactions including repricings and refinancings, which accounted for the majority of new issuance. While M&A and LBO activity remained muted, dividend recapitalizations provided one source of net loan supply. Demand continued to outstrip net loan supply in April. CLO issuance increased slightly versus the prior month supported by healthy demand for the asset class, while retail loan funds saw another month of net inflows in excess of $1 billion. The Fund also had approximately 9 percent allocated to fixed coupon high-yield corporate bonds, which also contributed to Fund performance over the fiscal quarter. The Fund’s largest credit quality overweight was in the single-B space, as the Fund had nearly a 72 percent exposure versus 67 percent in the Morningstar LSTA US Leveraged Loan 100 Index. Elsewhere on the credit quality range, the Fund maintained a slightly higher allocation to CCC-rated securities versus the index and the Fund’s exposure to BBB-rated bank loans was the largest underweight versus the benchmark index, as the Fund had less than 4 percent allocated to BBB-rated loans, and the benchmark index had nearly 7 percent. The largest sector overweights were in the media and entertainment, and materials sectors, while the largest underweights were to the software and services and telecommunications sectors. The Fund did not have any exposure to derivatives during the six-month period that meaningfully affected performance.
Holdings Insights
The largest exposure within the Fund was the allocation to variable rate securities, and some of the best-performing positions over the fiscal quarter were from this allocation. For example, the position in Icebox Holdco III, Inc. Floating Rate, Due 12/15/2029 (BL3791557) (holding weight*: 0.14 percent) a provider of HVAC building products added 7.7 percent over the six-month period. Another loan that positively contributed to Fund performance was Team Health Holdings, Inc. Floating Rate, Due 02/17/2027, a U.S. physician practice. Over the fiscal quarter, the price of this loan increased 21.6 percent after the company refinanced its remaining $1.16 billion senior secured term loan due in February 2024. Within the exposure to CLOs, the positions in the THL Credit Wind River 2019-3 Clo Ltd. Floating Rate, Due 04/15/2031 (97314GAC5) (holding weight*: 1.33 percent), a CLO securitization backed by primarily broadly syndicated speculative-grade senior secured term loans that are governed by collateral quality tests, and the Benefit Street Partners Clo XII Ltd. Floating Rate, Due 10/15/2030 (08179JAA4) (holding weight*: 1.66 percent), a CLO managed by Benefit Street Partners, positively contributed to Fund performance. Over the six-month period, these positions rose in price by 13.3 percent and 8.5percent, respectively. The Fund also received positive contributions from the fixed coupon high-yield corporate bond exposures. This includes Hawaiian Miles Loyalty Ltd. 5.75%, Due 01/20/2026 (41984LAA5) (holding weight*: 0.23 percent), a commercial U.S. airline headquartered in Honolulu. This credit rose 29.4 percent following reports that the airline was bought for $1.9 billion.
Although many of the bank loans within the Fund rose during the period, some of the positions within the asset class meaningfully detracted from Fund performance. This included Telesat, LLC Floating Rate, Due 12/06/2026 (BL3219120) (holding weight*: 0.30 percent), a global satellite operator, detracted from Fund performance. This credit rebounded to close the previous fiscal year following a selloff amid a credit downgrade. However, this credit once again came under pressure over the first half of the fiscal year as the satellite operator reported a surprise decline in revenues. Over the first half of the fiscal year, this credit sold off 26 percent. Another poor-performing variable rate credit within the Fund was the J.P. Intermediate B, LLC Floating Rate, Due 11/20/2027 (BL4371623) (holding weight*: 0.11 percent), a company that produces plant-based dietary supplements. Over the fiscal quarter, the price of this loan fell 66.3 percent.
Sub-Adviser Outlook
The Sub-Adviser is confident that the outlook for the leveraged loan market remains stable with supportive fundamentals and technicals. Corporate earnings for the first quarter have generally been in line with expectations, supported by better-than-feared economic growth. Faced with the headwind from higher interest burdens, companies have continued to emphasize liability management and cost rationalization, which has helped to bolster balance sheets. The Sub-Adviser believes that defaults within the loan market should continue at a measured pace, but absent a sharper economic downturn, distressed activity will be concentrated among lower-quality issuers struggling with over-levered capital structures. The Sub-Adviser is confident that technicals will remain supportive for loan prices as high financing costs limit M&A and LBO activity, throttling net loan supply, while demand for loans continues to grow amid steady new CLO issuance. A higher for longer rate environment has the potential to support higher relative loan yields, while the lack of duration risk for the asset class offers a hedge against further rate volatility.

Message from the Sub-Adviser (PineBridge Investments, LLC) |
Asset Class Recap
Following weakness in the final month of the previous fiscal year, markets reversed course in November, with both U.S. Treasury rates and credit spreads rallying. Bullish investor sentiment resulted from better -than-expected declines in inflation data, positive economic and issuer fundamentals, and a directionally dovish Federal Reserve (“Fed”) narrative. This continued and accelerated into December, as the Fed strengthened its pivot language, with Chair Powell’s press conference incorporating more reminders of its dual mandate. This unexpected pull forward in the Fed’s assessment of inflation from sticky to mission accomplished, subject only to a couple more months of confirmation, altered the conditions under which rate cuts could occur. Previously, rate cut expectations appeared conditioned on economic weakening, with an unspoken condition that labor markets soften alongside a decline in inflation. Given the recent disinflation, particularly in once-sticky core inflation thought to be driven most by tight labor markets, the new tone sounded like rate cuts no longer require job weakness as long as the disinflation trend continues. Spreads on high-yield bonds widened marginally during January, and U.S. Treasury rates drifted a bit higher. However, the high-yield asset class was flat from a total return standpoint as the income component was equally offset by higher rates and wider spreads. A continuation of moderating inflation, along with resilient growth data and the narrative from the late January Federal Reserve meeting, led investors to anticipate an initial rate cut commencing around the middle of 2024. High-yield bonds generated positive total returns in February and March as the benefit of spread compression more than offset the impact of higher Treasury rates. While the Fed indicated that it believes cuts will likely be appropriate at some point this year, sticky inflation, alongside strong growth and a resilient consumer, resulted in a more hawkish narrative. In April, the high-yield asset class experienced the largest negative total return since October 2023. Negative total returns were mostly due to higher Treasury rates, with credit spreads only slightly wider. A stronger-than- expected retail sales report, a higher -than-expected Consumer Price Index (CPI), and positive labor market data all combined to move U.S. Treasury rates higher across all maturities on the curve. Market expectations for the Fed’s first rate cut moved out to the fourth quarter of 2024, whereas a summer rate cut was priced in at the end of March. Over the six-month period ended April 30, 2024, high- yield bonds, as measured by the Bloomberg U.S. High-Yield Ba/B 2% Issuer Cap Index, rose 8.5 percent.
Allocation Review
Over the six -month period, both security selection and sector allocation contributed to positive Fund performance. From a sector allocation standpoint, an overweight allocation to the asset managers and other financial companies contributed to performance, while an overweight allocation to the energy sector and cash meaningfully detracted from Fund performance. From a security selection standpoint, security selection in the consumer cyclical, and technology sectors contributed to Fund performance, offsetting the slight decline from consumer non- cyclical and energy sectors. The Fund maintained an approximate 11 percent allocation to CCC-rated bonds, contributing to relative performance as the ICE BofA CCC and Lower U.S. Cash Pay High-Yield Index added 12.2 percent. Additionally, the Fund’s nearly 16 percent relative underweight to BB-rated bonds contributed performance, as the ICE BofA BB U.S. Cash Pay High-Yield Index increased 8.2 percent during the six-month period.
Holdings Insights
One of the top performing credits over the fiscal period was Glatfelter Corporation 4.75%, Due 11/15/2029 (377320AA4) (holding weight*: 0.37 percent), a global manufacturer of engineered materials. During the most recent fiscal quarter, it was reported that Glatfelter Corporation and Barry Global Group Inc. (BERY) (not held) entered into a definitive agreement to spin off and merge the majority of its healthcare segment with Glatfelter Corporation. Executives of the companies speculate the combined company will become a global leader in the specialty material space. The transaction is expected to close in the second half of 2024, pending shareholder approval. Over the most recent fiscal quarter, this credit rose 17.6 percent, and over the first six months of the fiscal year, it jumped 31.7 percent. HawaiianMiles Loyalty Ltd. 5.75%, Due 01/20/2026 (41984LAA5) (holding weight*: 0.89 percent) was one of the largest detractors to Fund performance to close the previous fiscal year. Hawaiian Holdings, the parent of Hawaiian Airlines, expressed confidence that the company was on pace to surpass revenue expectations, but the tragic wildfires that destroyed portions of West Maui reversed the positive trend. After these fires in August, the state of Hawaii discouraged all non-essential travel to West Maui. Also weighing on the credit over the period were reduced forecasts for available seat miles due to engine issues on some of their planes. However, this credit rebounded to begin the fiscal year by surging 31 percent over the first half of the fiscal year and 1.2 percent over the most recent fiscal quarter, thanks to reports that Hawaiian Airlines will merge with a competitor. The merged company would continue to operate both airlines with independent brands but combine their operating platforms in an attempt to increase efficiency and reduce costs. Another credit that positively contributed to Fund performance was GrubHub Holdings, Inc. 5.5%, Due 07/01/2027, a meal delivery service. Over the first half of the fiscal year, this credit jumped 24.8 percent.
One of the largest detractors from positive Fund performance over the most recent fiscal quarter and first half of the fiscal year was HLF Financing Sarl, LLC / Herbalife International, Inc. 4.875%, Due 06/01/2029 (40390DAC9) (holding weight*: 0.45 percent), an American multinational multi-level marketing corporation that develops and sells dietary supplements. Early in the fiscal year this credit came under pressure following a disappointing earnings report and continued to face headwinds in the most recent fiscal quarter as investors reacted poorly to news that the company was floating hundreds of millions of dollars of new debt securities. Over the fiscal quarter, this credit tumbled 10.1 percent. Another credit that adversely impacted performance over the fiscal period was Trinseo Materials Operating SCA / Trinseo Materials Finance, Inc. 5.125%, Due 04/1/2029 (89668QAF5) (holding weight*: 0.45 percent), a specialty material solutions provider. Over the first half of the fiscal year this credit tumbled 35.9 percent as the corporate family rating was downgraded by a global credit rating agency which identified the company’s weak credit metrics and expected negative free cash follow as rationale for the action.
Sub-Adviser Outlook
The Sub-Adviser believes that the market is pricing in soft to no landing with little material probability of a hard landing. It also believes bottom-up indicators suggest a solid employment picture, rising but low consumer credit stress, and normalization of supply chains. The Sub-Adviser’s fundamental economic outlook has not materially altered based on recent economic data, as it is in the camp that market expectations regarding Fed easing were overly optimistic. Amid robust economic data, spreads were relatively unchanged during the most recent fiscal quarter and continue to be at the tighter end of the range, while all-in yields remain attractive, moving back above 8 percent. The macroeconomic outlook continues to be resilient enough to support the Sub-Adviser’s stable default outlook when compared with 2023. The Sub-Adviser believes that high-yield investors are becoming increasingly wary of any situations where liability management exercises seem likely, as distressed exchanges are becoming more common than outright bankruptcies. Given overall spread levels, it is difficult for the Sub-Adviser to consider the asset class cheap. However, the Sub-Adviser believes that high-yield remains an attractive carry proposition within the broader fixed-income world, given the strong credit fundamentals. Increased dispersion has also led to attractive opportunities at the individual issuer and security level.

Message from the Sub-Adviser (Virtus Fixed Income Advisers, LLC) |
Asset Class Recap
After being outpaced in the first fiscal quarter by the 13.3 percent rally in foreign equities, as measured by the MSCI All Country World ex US Index (net), the second fiscal quarter resulted in foreign equities gaining even more ground against foreign bonds. In the second fiscal quarter, foreign equities rose 3.8 percent while foreign bonds, as measured by the Bloomberg Global Aggregate Bond ex US Index Hedged, decreased 0.2 percent. When combining both fiscal quarters, foreign equities boasted an overall return of 17.7 percent while foreign bonds had increased 5.0 percent. When comparing foreign bonds to US investment-grade bonds, as measured by the Bloomberg US Aggregate Bond Index, foreign bonds made up nearly all of their relative losses in the second fiscal quarter, as US investment-grade bonds ended the six-month period up 5.0 percent, as well. Developed market government and investment-grade corporate bonds continued to be meaningfully affected by both the US Treasury yield curve as well as the actions of their own central banks. In the most recent fiscal quarter, the US Federal Open Market Committee has communicated that it will eventually reduce interest rates, but generally stubborn inflation and a lack of substantial deterioration in the strength of the US economy has allowed the US Federal Open Market Committee to delay these rate reductions. Foreign central banks have also shifted hawkish stances to be more accommodative in order to help rebound from or avoid local recessions, although their aggressiveness in rate reductions have been tempered by the recent lack of urgency in US rate cuts. The general delay in easing monetary policies resulted in higher risk bond categories such as foreign high-yield bonds, as measured by the Bloomberg Pan-European High-Yield Total Return Index Unhedged, and emerging market debt, as measured by the Bloomberg Emerging Markets USD Aggregate Total Return Index Unhedged, having a muted to slightly negative second fiscal quarter. During the second fiscal quarter, foreign high-yield bonds declined 0.9 percent while emerging market debt rose 0.4 percent. Over the six-month period ended April 30, 2024, these two foreign bond sectors rose 9.1 percent and 9.6 percent, respectively.
Allocation Review
The Fund’s exposure to emerging markets debt increased since the beginning of the fiscal year from close to 45 percent to over 51 percent. This increase coincided with the outperformance of emerging markets debt over developed markets in the first fiscal quarter as well as outperformance in the second fiscal quarter. Within the emerging market debt allocation, the Fund had an approximate 28 percent allocation to emerging market corporate bonds and 25 percent allocation to emerging market hard currency debt, which were the best performing exposures within the Fund during the second fiscal quarter. The Fund’s exposure to high-yield bonds slightly decreased from approximately 55 percent to 53 percent. The high-yield exposure was split across developed market countries and emerging markets, so some of the high-yield allocation was affected by the emerging market debt exposure’s tailwind. The Fund continued to have a lower overall duration than the benchmark index, ending the most recent fiscal quarter with a duration nearly 0.9 years shorter than the benchmark index. This is slightly tighter than the duration difference at the beginning of the fiscal year. The Fund’s significantly higher exposure to high- yield debt and emerging markets bonds versus the benchmark generally results in a lower duration due to the yield premium generally offered along with the higher risk associated with those bond categories. However, the Sub-Adviser uses futures contracts on major developed market bond indices to quickly dial up or down long-term bond exposure in order to maintain an overall duration target for the Fund. These futures contracts provided mixed results over the fiscal period due to the Sub-Adviser taking both long and short positions in various foreign government bond contracts to manage the overall duration of the Fund close to 6.0 years.
Holdings Insights
Within developed markets, the Fund continued to hold multiple bonds from the same issuer, including Altice France Holding S.A. 8%, due 5/15/2027 (BMPRSJ4) (holding weight*: 0.05 percent), Altice France S.A. 2.125%, due 2/15/2025 144A (BK4GQX8) (holding weight*: 0.15 percent), and Altice France S.A. 2.125%, due 2/15/2025 REGS (BL974Q2) (holding weight*: 0.15 percent). Altice France S.A. is a multinational telecommunications and mass media company. During the second fiscal quarter, the holding company debt of Altice France Holding S.A. plummeted 38.8 percent while the Altice France S.A. bonds maturing early next year only declined 5.2 percent and 5.1 percent, respectively. This brought the six-month performance of the holding company down to a negative 38.0 percent and the short-term bonds’ six-month performance to a negative 2.9 percent and 2.6 percent, respectively. The Fund also continued to hold Grifols S.A. 3.2%, due 5/01/2025 (BZ1DYH7) (holding weight*: 0.18 percent), a Spanish multinational pharmaceutical and chemical manufacturer. Although the Spain Government Bond 2.7%, due 10/31/2048 (BFX1703) (holding weight*: 0.34 percent) declined 0.8 percent over the second fiscal quarter, the performance over the six-month period was still a positive 5.7 percent. The Grifols bond increased 5.3 percent over the second fiscal quarter, bringing its performance since the start of the fiscal year up to 14.0 percent. One of the Fund’s largest individual government bond holdings continued to be the Italy Buoni Poliennali Del Tesoro 2.8%, due 12/01/2028 (BF2F3M0) (holding weight*: 1.21 percent), which decreased 0.7 percent during the second fiscal quarter, but still finished the six-month period up 4.7 percent.
As the energy sector experienced some tailwinds over the fiscal quarter, some of the stronger performing holdings in the Fund were found in the energy sector. Despite having its headquarters in Ireland, Tullow Oil Plc 7%, due 3/1/2025 (899415AE3) (holding weight*: 1.01 percent), is an independent oil and gas exploration and production company with its primary operations in West Africa. In addition, the Fund held PDVSA 9%, due 11/17/21 (P7807HAP0) (holding weight*: 0.21 percent), the Venezuelan state-owned oil and natural gas company. During the second fiscal quarter, the Tullow Oil Plc bond rose 4.0 percent, bringing its six-month performance to 27.6 percent. However, the PDVSA bonds surged 19.7 percent during the second fiscal quarter, offsetting poor performance in the first fiscal quarter, resulting in a positive 3.6 percent over the six-month period. Another contributor to Fund performance over the period was the Pakistan Government International Bond 6%, due 4/8/2026 (695847AS2) (holding weight*: 0.39 percent), which jumped 17.9 percent in the second fiscal quarter, compounding its strong performance in the first fiscal quarter to result in a 71.2 percent return over the six-month period ended April 30, 2024. The Sub-Adviser continued to implement a duration management strategy that included shorting US Treasury futures such as the CBOT 10 Year US Treasury Note 6/18/2024 (TYM4 COM) (holding notional weight*: -7.87 percent). As US Treasuries tumbled with the less aggressive US rate-cutting outlook, the position rallied since this position was established during the second fiscal quarter and contributed nearly 0.2 percent to the overall Fund performance. Similarly, the long position in the Eurex 10 Year Euro BUND Future 6/6/2024 (RXM4 COM) (holding notional weight*: 9.88 percent) detracted approximately the same amount from Fund performance.
Sub-Adviser Outlook
The Sub-Adviser continues to closely monitor how global central banks, including the United States, attempt to control inflation while mitigating local recessions. As investor expectations around central bank activity change as new data is released, the Sub-Adviser is seeking to capitalize on opportunities that may arise in the bond market. The Sub-Adviser has attempted to keep its exposure to duration closer to the benchmark index while it also pursues a significantly higher exposure to high-yield bonds and debt issued by emerging markets companies and governments. Therefore, meaningful volatility may continue in the foreign bond market, as well as the Fund, but 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, will allow the Fund to take advantage of opportunities as volatility brings dispersion across sectors and regions.

Dunham Large Cap Value Fund (Unaudited)
Message from the Sub-Adviser (Great Lakes Advisors. LLC)
Asset Class Recap
Large cap value stocks continued the positive momentum for the first half of the fiscal year which, despite investors having to digest the notion that the Federal Reserve may be further away from rate cuts than anticipated. Although at a high level inflation has trended downward, monthly CPI data has shown some surprises along the way. Reminding investors that there may be a much bumpier road to the Fed’s 2 percent target, reiterating the idea that the 5.25-5.50 percent Fed Funds Rate could remain unchanged for the entire year. However, market sentiment seems as if investors do not believe for that to be the case. U.S. equities continue to march forward, as resilient corporate profits, innovation around artificial intelligence, and enthusiasm surrounding weight loss drugs have all been reasons provided by bullish investors to support higher valuation multiples in the public markets. Additionally, upward revised GDP growth and the potential for multiple rate cuts may have supported investor confidence in the economy during the period. Large cap value stocks, as measured by the Russell 1000 Value Index, increased 18.4 percent, underperforming their large cap growth counterparts, as measured by Russell 1000 Growth Index, which rose 23.6 percent, for the fiscal period.
Allocation Review
The Sub-Adviser’s investment philosophy is centered on the belief that alpha generation is driven by bottom-up stock selection, rather than taking large sector bets. With that being said, every sector finished positive for the fiscal 6-month period and the spread in returns between the top performing sector, producer durables, and the bottom performing sector, healthcare, was over 17 percent. Thus, the Fund’s slight Underweight to producer durables detracted from the Fund’s relative performance. Since the healthcare sector did not outpace the benchmark as a whole, the Sub-Adviser’s almost 4 percent overweight also detracted from Fund performance from an allocation perspective. The most significant factor that influenced the Fund’s positive relative performance was the Sub-Adviser’s security selection within the technology sector. Exposure to a few securities outside the benchmark enhanced the technology sector’s contribution to Fund performance. However, poor security selection within the energy sector had a negative impact on the Fund’s performance. Additionally, the consumer discretionary sector positively contributed to Fund performance, as strong security selection and a slight underweight both aided relative performance. Similarly, security selection within the financial services and producer durables sectors were both meaningful contributors relatively speaking. On the contrary, poor security selection within the utilities sector acted as a detriment to the Fund’s performance.
Holdings Insight
Within the technology sector, one outperforming position was Micron Technology Inc. (MU) (holding weight*: 1.81 percent), one of the largest semiconductor companies in the world, that specializes in memory and storage chips. Over the fiscal period, MU gained 69.3 percent, partially aided by stronger than expected earnings and optimistic forward guidance, lifted by demand for hardware components essential for artificial intelligence. Another position that contributed to relative Fund performance was Quanta Services, Inc. (PWR) (holding weight*: 1.76 percent), a company that designs, installs, repairs, and maintains network infrastructure across North America and abroad. PWR increased 54.8 percent for the six-month period. Quanta has had greater earnings stability recently, partly due to their focus on smaller projects with less cost associated than when it had prioritized larger scale infrastructure plans. The company is also a beneficiary of rising investment in the US electrical grid. META Platforms, Inc. (META) (holding weight*: 1.47 percent), increased 42.9 percent for the fiscal period. Meta operates as a social technology company that builds applications and technologies that help people connect. Their shares rallied after the company reported profits significantly above expectations. The beat was led by advertising revenue, and the continuation to operate at a leaner cost structure. Investors may see this as an opportunity for the business to grow at a faster pace.
One underperforming position over the fiscal period was Schlumberger N.V. (SLB) (holding weight*: 1.12 percent), a global oilfield services company that fell 13.8 percent, which may have been induced by investors having higher expectations for SLB and their ability to capitalize on the increase in crude oil prices, unfortunately the company did not deliver. The stock also sold off in January after a Saudi Arabian oil company mentioned it was backing away from plans to increase oil production, adversely effecting SLB which provides the equipment essential for oil drilling. Air Products and Chemicals, Inc. (APD) (holding weight*: 0.99 percent), a global company that produces and distributes specialty gases and industrial atmospheric was down 15.2 percent during the period. This decline was driven by weakness in global demand for helium, in particularly China. While there remains, some risk associated with the company’s exposure to bigger projects, the Sub-Adviser believes the stock price is largely discounted from the business intrinsic value. Another position that acted as a detractor from Fund performance was UnitedHealth Group, Inc. (UNH) (holding weight*: 1.28 percent), a leading US health insurer offering a variety of plans and services to group and individual customers nationwide. Recent declines stemmed from a plethora of bad news throughout industry peers and UNH during the period. There were reports that the Department of Justice was opening an antitrust probe into one of UnitedHealth Groups subsidiaries and their physician practices. There was also a scare in the market after a large competitor in the health insurance space surprised investors with an update on elevated utilization within the Medicare channel. UNH fell 9.0 percent throughout the first half of the fiscal year.
Sub-Adviser Outlook
The Sub-Adviser is cautiously optimistic about the opportunity set for the remainder of 2024. The Sub-Adviser believes that the rally in U.S. equity markets off the October 2023 lows acts as a reminder about the dangers of attempted market timing. Corporate earnings have proven resilient and are projected to keep climbing in 2024. Add in the potential for Fed easing, and market momentum may continue to push forward. That being said, investors must recognize that market sentiment can change abruptly, especially given today’s geopolitical and economic circumstances, which also include an upcoming election cycle in the U.S. The Sub-Adviser views that managing a diversified portfolio with a focus on individual security selection is the best way to generate consistent alpha over a full-market cycle. Moving forward, the Sub-Adviser is confident that avoiding landmines is key to positive relative performance. Therefore, ignoring the noise and focusing on corporate fundamentals is critical in identifying companies that exhibit attractive valuations and are resilient enough to navigate the complex environment.

Dunham Small Cap Value Fund (Unaudited)
Message from the Sub-Adviser (Boston Partners Global Investors, Inc.)
Asset Class Recap
After investor excitement regarding future interest rate cuts provided a substantially positive backdrop for small cap value stocks since the start of the fiscal year, the prospect of multiple rate cuts dwindled along with the anticipated date of the first cut and stocks generally declined off of their highs. Small cap value stocks, as measured by the Russell 2000 Value Index, surged 26.1 percent before finishing the six-month period that ended April 30, 2024 up 18.1 percent. When considering only the second fiscal quarter, small cap value stocks increased 0.9 percent. Small cap growth stocks, as measured by the Russell 2000 Growth Index, had increased as high as 31.4 percent before ending the same six-month period up 21.3 percent, outpacing their small value counterparts by 3.2 percent. However, small cap value stocks slipped behind their large cap value counterparts, as measured by the Russell 1000 Value Index. Small cap value stocks underperformed large cap value stocks by 3.3 percent during the second fiscal quarter and underperformed large cap value stocks by 0.3 percent since the start of the fiscal year.
Allocation Review
During the second fiscal quarter, the Sub-Adviser to the Fund changed. This resulted in a change in the approach from the previous Sub-Adviser, which attempted to match the Fund’s sector allocation to the benchmark index, where the new Sub-Adviser’s decisions on stock selection could result in meaningful differences between the Fund’s sector allocation and that of the benchmark index. The Sub-Adviser change occurred at the start of April, which saw all sectors drop into negative territory with dispersion between the best and worst performing sector being relatively muted when compared to previous periods. Therefore, the significant underweight in the financial services sector within the Fund versus the benchmark index had little impact, which was similar for the large overweight to the producer durables sector. During the six-month period ended April 30, 2024, the best performing sector within the benchmark index was materials and processing while the worst performing sector was consumer staples. The dispersion in performance between the best-performing sector and worst-performing sector during the six-month period was over 33 percent. However, in April the dispersion between best and worst-performing sectors was less than 7 percent. Therefore, similar to previous fiscal quarters, the Sub-Advisers’ stock selection within each of the small cap value sectors had a greater impact on the Fund’s relative performance over the fiscal period.
Holdings Insights
Primarily due to the change in the Fund’s Sub-Adviser, very few holdings were held for the entire second fiscal quarter, let alone the entire six-month period ended April 30, 2024. However, when considering the holding that were retained for the entire six-month period, those included financial services holdings such as Essent Group Ltd. (ESNT) (holding weight*: 0.61 percent), a holding company that through its subsidiaries offers private mortgage insurance and title insurance, AXIS Capital Holdings Ltd. (AXS) (holding weight*: 0.37 percent), a professional and property insurance provider, and Independent Bank Corporation (IBCP) (holding weight*: 0.54 percent), a regional bank holding company. As the sector in the benchmark index increased nearly 16 percent since the start of the fiscal year, individual holding returns less than that generally detracted from relative Fund performance. For example, despite ESNT and AXS increasing 13.3 percent and 9.1 percent, respectively, both of these holdings detracted from relative performance during the fiscal six-month period. Conversely, as IBCP surged 27.0 percent over the same six-month period, it was one of the stronger contributors to relative performance. The Fund also continued to hold Plymouth Industrial REIT Inc. (PLYM) (holding weight*: 0.89 percent), an owner and operator of distribution centers and warehouses. PLYM only increased 6.8 percent since the start of the fiscal year, which resulted in it being one of the largest relative detractors among the holdings held for the entire period.
The Fund continued to hold Spire, Inc. (SR) (holding weight*: 0.72 percent), a natural gas company that operates in Alabama, Mississippi, and Missouri, JELD-WEN Holding, Inc. (JELD) (holding weight*: 0.50 percent), a manufacturer of windows and doors, and LiveRamp Holdings, Inc. (RAMP) (holding weight*: 1.01 percent), a software-as-a-service company that specializes in data onboarding. Despite returning 13.8 percent and underperforming the benchmark as a whole, SR was one of the stronger performers within the utilities sector, which only increased 5.4 percent over the six-month period. However, the materials and processing sector was the strongest performing sector in the benchmark index, surging nearly 30 percent since the start of the fiscal year. The single holding that the Fund maintained for the entire period was JELD, which increased 80.9 percent, making it one of the best performers within the Fund and contributing positively against the benchmark index. RAMP increased 16.1 percent over the fiscal six-month period, which was less than the technology sector’s return, detracting from relative performance, despite increasing double-digits.
Sub-Adviser Outlook
The new Sub-Adviser completed the implementation of its strategy and approach in April. The updated Fund allocation includes a larger exposure to smaller capitalization stocks within the small cap universe. The Sub-Adviser believes that despite some of the additional risks inherent in the smaller capitalization names, it is confident that it may benefit on average from what it believes are meaningful discounts in valuation. The Sub-Adviser primarily focuses on bottom-up stock selection, attempting to identify small cap value stocks that are trading at a relative discount to their intrinsic value and peers and have an identified catalyst that the Sub-Adviser believes may help the stock to realize its valuation difference. In addition, the new Sub-Adviser has increased the number of holdings within the Fund, diversifying some of the idiosyncratic risk that may be more prevalent in a concentrated stock portfolio.

Dunham Focused Large Cap Growth Fund (Unaudited)
Message from the Sub-Adviser (The Ithaka Group, LLC)
Asset Class Recap
Large cap growth stocks, as measured by the Russell 1000 growth Index, experienced a robust rally to start the fiscal year , rallying 18.7 percent in the first fiscal quarter, but then increased a modest 4.1 percent in the second fiscal quarter. The initial rally was primarily fueled by the anticipation of multiple rate cuts from the Federal Reserve. However, this excitement was tempered in the second fiscal quarter as inflation readings remained higher than desired. Therefore, fewer and fewer rate cuts were anticipated as investors began to view strong economic readings as additional reasons why the Federal Reserve may justify its higher-for-longer stance. Large cap growth stocks slightly lagged versus their large cap value counterparts, as measured by the Russell 1000 Value Index, as large cap value stocks rose 4.2 percent in the second fiscal quarter. This brought the total outperformance of large cap growth versus large cap value to 5.1 percent since the start of the fiscal year.
Allocation Review
The less extreme performance experienced in the second fiscal quarter corresponded with a less pronounced sector dispersion within large cap growth stocks. The spread between the best-performing and worst-performing sectors was approximately 9.5 percent, which was nearly half of the 18 percent spread seen in the first fiscal quarter. When only considering sectors that on average comprise more than one percent of the benchmark index, the dispersion between the best and worst performing sector in the second fiscal quarter dropped to only 4.9 percent. The technology sector, the largest sector within the index, was the best performing sector for the six-month period, when considering sectors representing more than one percent on average of the benchmark index. The Fund continued to have a significant underweight to this sector relative to the benchmark index, which slightly detracted from relative performance. Helping to offset the adverse effect of being underweight the technology sector was the Sub-Adviser’s stock selection outperforming the benchmark sector return. This resulted in this exposure being the second-largest contributor to relative performance over the six-month period. The Fund’s overweight to the consumer discretionary sector detracted from relative performance, while positive stock selection within that sector resulted in the consumer discretionary sector being the largest contributor to relative performance.
Holdings Insights
Some of the largest detractors from Fund performance over the fiscal quarter came from the technology sector, which was the best performing sector in the benchmark index during the previous fiscal quarter. This included holdings such as ServiceNow, Inc. (NOW) (holding weight*: 6.90 percent), a leading provider in the cloud base solutions that manage and automate workflow services for global enterprises. NOW decreased approximately 9.4 percent during the second fiscal quarter. However, NOW had increased nearly 31 percent in the previous fiscal quarter, so its overall performance since the start of the fiscal year was a positive 19.2 percent. Another detractor in the technology sector during the most recent fiscal quarter was Adobe Inc. (ADBE) (holding weight*: 2.93 percent), a company primarily focused on licensing software for graphic design and publishing, as well as business processes. ADBE plummeted nearly 25.1 percent as the company released earnings that did not exceed estimates by as much as expected and the company also discussed how some of its segments with an artificial intelligence focus were not seeing the customer adoption it had anticipated. This substantial decline brought overall performance of ADBE to a negative 13.0 percent when measured since the start of the fiscal year. Conversely, one of the strongest performers in the Fund during the second fiscal quarter was Nvidia Corp. (NVDA) (holding weight*: 7.71 percent), the company that is now primarily known for its chips, systems, and software that are used for artificial intelligence. NVDA surged another 40.4 percent in the most recent fiscal quarter and this substantial increase brought its overall performance since the start of the fiscal year to 111.9 percent.
A detractor from the Funds’ performance in the previous fiscal quarter was The Trade Desk, Inc. (TTD) (holding weight*: 1.22 percent). TTD offers a cloud-based ad-buying platform that empowers advertising agencies and service providers to manage data driven digital advertising. After TTD declined 3.5 percent in the previous fiscal quarter, it jumped 21.1 percent in the most recent fiscal quarter. This strong performance brought the overall performance since the beginning of the fiscal year to 16.8 percent. A holding that struggled across both fiscal quarters was also in the consumer discretionary sector. Lululemon Athletica, Inc. (LULU) (holding weight*: 2.02 percent), an apparel company for yoga, running, training, other athleisure, and business clothing, had increased 15.3 percent in the first fiscal quarter, detracting from relative performance as the benchmark index had increased more than that. However, LULU dropped 20.5 percent in the second fiscal quarter as concerns regarding the outlook for China sales spooked investors. This brought the overall performance since the start of the fiscal year to a negative 8.4 percent.
Sub-Adviser Outlook
The Sub-Adviser maintains a concentrated portfolio of holdings, which may result in large variations in the Fund performance compared to the benchmark index’s performance, especially in short-term time periods. The Fund continues to hold what the Sub-Adviser believes to be the strongest growth stocks, primarily focusing on free-cash-flow and fundamental factors that traditionally support long-term growth. The Fund continues to hold 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 will 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
For the first half of the fiscal year, which ended April 30, 2024, small cap growth stocks, as measured by the Russell 2000 Growth Index increased 21.3 percent, outperforming the broader market, as measured by the S&P 500 Index. For the six-month period the small cap growth space was highly volatile, due to their sensitivity to interest rate movements. Right off the bat the asset class got off to a hot start. From October through December the index was up over 22 percent, and at its peak in late March the Index climbed to about 31 percent during the period. From the highs, small cap growth stocks reversed course and gave back some of the returns to close the first half of the fiscal year. It’s likely that the rhetoric around Federal Reserve policy and interest rate cuts in 2024 may continue to be a driving factor for small cap stocks. Many can agree that the worst scenario is off the table, and the data suggests that consumers are in good shape. Earnings season was also strong for the period, and investors saw signs of optimism particularly in growth areas like artificial intelligence, consumer discretionary and the health care sectors.
Allocation Review
Near the top of the pack in terms of relative performance was the consumer discretionary, and the consumer staples sectors. The Sub-Adviser’s effective security selection within both sectors helped contribute to the Fund’s performance. The Sub-Adviser’s decision to overweight consumer discretionary and underweight consumer staples also positively contributed to relative performance from an allocation perspective. Additionally, having no exposure to the real estate and utilities sectors helped the Fund’s performance, as both sectors were outpaced by the benchmarks total return. The largest detractor from the Fund’s performance was the exposure to information technology, a slight underweight to technology was overshadowed by poor security selection. Most of the negative relative performance within the technology sector was fueled by the Fund having zero exposure to two specific companies that will be rebalanced out of the benchmark in June. The Sub-Adviser’s current portfolio construction parameters and client investment policies do not allow for these specific stocks to be held, considering both companies had market caps far above the weighted average market cap of the small cap growth universe. Lastly, the financial and healthcare sectors were two more areas where security selection detracted from the Fund’s relative performance for the first half of the fiscal year.
Holdings Insight
One of the best performing positions within the Fund was Sweetgreen, Inc. (SG) (holding weight*: 1.35 percent), a restaurant and lifestyle brand that serves healthy food at scale. Over the fiscal period, SG gained 117.5 percent, aided by the company adopting a new business plan and continuing to invest in new restaurant locations. Additionally, SG reported sales that have increased by double digits every year since 2021. Another holding that was a positive contributor to the Fund’s relative performance came from the consumer discretionary sector. Boot Barn Holdings, Inc. (BOOT) (holding weight*: 1.41 percent), a company that operates retail stores selling western and work-related footwear, apparel, and accessories domestically. BOOT increased 53.2 percent for the period, which may have been a result of a resurgence in the popularity of western apparel that’s flooded social media platforms. Not only was BOOT’s revenue growth strong, but the profit margins on this growth have increased as well. The Sub-Adviser believes the company is becoming more profitable as it grows. In terms of relative performance Fusion Pharmaceuticals, Inc (FUSN) (holding weight**: 1.03 percent) was one of the top performing companies within the Fund. FUSN operates as a biopharmaceutical company that develops novel targeted alpha therapeutics and radiopharmaceuticals for the diagnosis and treatment of chemotherapy resistant cancers. During the period FUSN was up 359.4 percent. This performance came after the stock skyrocketed in March when Fusion agreed to be acquired by AstraZeneca (AZN) (not held) at a 97 percent premium to the share price the day of the announcement. The Sub-Adviser locked in the gain and exited the position on the news of the transaction.
One of the worst performing positions over the fiscal period came from the technology sector. Aehr Test Systems (AEHR) (holding weight*: 0.51 percent), a company that develops, manufactures, and sells systems designed to reduce the cost of testing memory devices, specifically in the global electric vehicle manufacturing chain. After a considerable run up last summer, AEHR fell 49.2 percent for the six-month period, which may have been caused by an industry wide slow in demand for EVs. None the less vehicle electrification is not coming to an end and AEHR should continue to benefit from optimism surrounding the EV market in the future. Another detractor from Fund performance was Inari Medical, Inc. (NARI) (holding weight*: 0.56 percent), which designs and manufactures a variety of medical devices. The position declined 38.5 percent for the period ending April 30. The slump came after NARI disclosed that it received a civil investigation demand from the US Department of Justice related to certain payments to healthcare professionals. Lastly, Array Technologies, Inc. (ARRY) (holding weight*: 1.14 percent) was down 28.8 percent for the fiscal period. The company designs and manufactures solar tracking systems. The stock’s decline was largely due to reported earnings that missed analysts’ expectations and issued full year guidance below estimates. However, ARRY has significant short interest which is typically a bullish indicator.
Sub-Adviser Outlook
The Sub-Adviser is optimistic that the U.S. economy is beginning to normalize. The U.S. continued to add new jobs, wages were rising, and the housing market appears stable. However geopolitical risks, inflation, and an upcoming election may continue to be headwinds for equity markets in the future. Some businesses may be substantially impacted if there happens to be a minor slip throughout 2024. The Sub-Adviser will continue to navigate the market with these factors in mind and seek out companies with compelling products and/or services with strong value propositions. Current themes in the portfolio remain largely unchanged.

Dunham Emerging Markets Stock Fund (Unaudited)
Message from the Sub-Adviser (NS Partners Ltd.)
Asset Class Recap
Markets cheered encouraging inflation data globally and prospects that central banks have reached the end of their hiking cycle in the first fiscal quarter of the year. Contributions from country constituents were widespread and diverse. Within Asia, equity markets in Taiwan and Korea surged thanks to a rally in the technology sector and continued enthusiasm surrounding artificial intelligence (“AI”) and its potential impact on the global economy. India gained strongly against a backdrop of moderating inflation and a strong showing for the ruling Bharatiya Janata Party in crucial state elections. Equity markets in South America also had a constructive quarter, with particular strength coming from Brazil amid signs of falling inflation and the central bank’s decision to reduce interest rates. From a detractor standpoint, the Chinese equity market continued to struggle. The People’s Bank of China announced numerous stimulus measures throughout the fiscal quarter. However, investors were underwhelmed with the scale of these rescue packages. Over the most recent fiscal quarter, emerging market equities continued to march higher as a rebound in China helped drive gains in the asset class. Although issues with the country’s property market persisted, authorities continued to reaffirm support to tackle the crisis. Investors also reacted positively to encouraging economic data. Specifically, the countries grew an above consensus 5.3 percent year over year, while purchasing manager indexes showed expansion in both manufacturing and services in April. Peruvian equities also rallied in response to currency and monetary policy easing. However, elsewhere in Latin America, Mexican and Brazilian equity markets declined as both currencies weakened versus the U.S. Dollar. Over the most recent fiscal quarter ended April 30, 2024, emerging markets stocks, as measured by the MSCI Emerging Markets Index Net, added 15.4 percent, underperforming international developed markets, as measured by the MSCI EAFE Index Net, as it increased 18.6 percent over the fiscal quarter.
Allocation Review
Over the first six months of the fiscal year, stock selection positively contributed to Fund performance. The Fund experienced positive contributions from stock selection within India, South Korea, and Taiwan. These positive results outweighed the slight detraction from poor relative stock selection within China, Mexico, and Greece. Conversely, the Fund’s country allocation detracted from Fund performance. The Fund benefited from an underweight to China, India, and gulf markets. However, these positive contributions were not enough to override the adverse impact from the exposure to Indonesia, Thailand, and Hong Kong. Throughout the six-month period, the Sub-Adviser reduced the exposure to China and took profits within India and increased the exposure to Taiwan and added to Indonesian stocks.
Holdings Insights
Some of the largest contributors to positive Fund performance came from Indian Securities. This includes Varun Beverages (VBL IN) (holding weight*: 2.85 percent), a company that manufactures bottles and distributes beverages, as it rose 15 percent over the most recent fiscal quarter and 62.6 percent over the first half of the fiscal year. The Sub-Adviser believes that Varun continues to sustain market leadership and has reported impressive revenue growth well ahead of peers. A further boost to the share price came on news that the company would buy South Africa’s The Beverage Company. The news confirms speculation that Varun was set to be rewarded by PepsiCo (PEP) (not held) for its performance in India with a new market opportunity. Varun will look to improve Pepsi’s low single-digit market share in South Africa, which the Sub-Adviser is optimistic it can achieve. Another positive contributor to positive Fund performance from India was Container Corp of India Ltd. (CCRI IN) (holding weight*: 1.11 percent), a company that supplies railway cargo and warehouse services. Over the six-month period, CCRI increased 50.3 percent. Not all positions within India contributed to Fund performance over the fiscal period. For example, HDFC Bank Ltd. (BK1N461) (holding weight*: 2.06 percent), an Indian banking and financial services company headquartered in Mumbai, rose just 2.7 percent over the six-month period as the company continues to work through a recent merger.
Technology stocks from South Korea and Taiwan were some of the largest contributors to positive Fund performance despite coming under pressure the most recent fiscal quarter. The Sub-Adviser believes these stocks were already starting to look attractive at the end of 2022, as the end of a brutal inventory de-stocking cycle for semiconductors came into view. Several stocks that the Sub-Adviser believes dominate their respective space within the semiconductor industry continued to contribute to positive Fund performance meaningfully to begin the fiscal year. This includes HPSP Company Ltd. (BPDWY61) (holding weight*: 0.59 percent), a South Korean company that manufactures and distributes semiconductor machines and equipment. The company specializes in high pressure annealing technology – the process of removing defects in advanced chips through high pressure hydrogen injections to enhance electron movement and hence performance. The Sub-Adviser believes this company is a monopoly in its niche, the only high-pressure annealing equipment provider certified by some of the world’s largest chip manufacturers. Over the first fiscal quarter, HPSP Company Ltd added 46.7 percent after surging 126.3 percent over the previous fiscal year. However, over the most recent fiscal quarter, HSPS company gave back 15.5 percent. The Fund also benefited from the exposure to Alchip Technologies Ltd. (3661 TT) (holding weight*: 0.68 percent), a fabless semiconductor company in Taiwan, and Wiwynn Corporation (6669 TT) (holding weight*: 1.34 percent), a Taiwanese designer and manufacturer of servers for large cloud customers. Over the six-month period, these positions added 18.2 percent and 54.4 percent, respectively.
China was one of the worst performing emerging markets over the six-month period thus many of the worst-performing positions within the Fund came from this exposure. For example, the multinational finance and insurance companies AIA Group Ltd. (1299 HK) (holding weight*: 1.72 percent) and Prudential plc (PRU LN) (holding weight*: 0.01 percent) gave back 14.6 percent and 14.8 percent, respectively. The Sub-Adviser is confident that these positions have the potential to be beneficiaries of regional tailwinds that will play out over the next decade. However, the Sub-Adviser believes that there is a disconnect between sentiment and fundamentals. Another position that detracted from Fund performance was Sunny Optical Technology Group Company Ltd. (2382 HK) (holding weight*: 0.49 percent), a company that engages in the design, manufacture, and sale of optical and optical devices products. Over the six-month period, this position declined 41.4 percent as the company failed to rebound as strongly as many anticipated from a disappointing previous year.
Sub-Adviser Outlook
The Sub-Adviser continues to emphasize the belief that slowing monetary data has signaled that inflation was likely to undershoot market expectations. While this is playing out, the Sub-Adviser’s view remains that the magnitude of monetary tightening risks a sharper slowdown. A preference for defensive businesses over cyclicals is therefore maintained. The Sub-Adviser believes that emerging markets will not avoid the bite of a slowdown in developed market economies. However, it views valuations in emerging markets stocks as trading below long-run averages, believes that emerging market currencies are relatively cheap (outside of South America), and believes inflation has been contained well ahead of developed market peers. The Sub-Adviser is confident that a trending decline of the U.S. Dollar would support the case for emerging markets stocks outperformance, it sees hints this may be underway. The U.S. dollar weakened sharply to close the previous fiscal year amid inflation easing towards the Federal Reserve’s target of 2 percent. Rate cuts by the Federal Reserve in 2024 could add downward pressure, allowing more emerging market central banks to begin easing and thus boosting global liquidity conditions.

Dunham International Stock Fund (Unaudited)
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”), increased 17.7 percent during the semi-annual period ending April 30, 2024. Across sectors, gains were led by information technology, industrials, and financials. While all sectors performed positively in the period, consumer staples, utilities, and energy underperformed on a relative basis. The best performing developed market countries as measured by the Index in hedged terms during the semi-annual period were The Netherlands, up 34.3 percent, and Ireland, up 31.8 percent. The worst performing developed market countries were Hong Kong, down -1.8 percent, and Portugal, up 0.8 percent. The best performing emerging market countries during the period as measured by the Index were Peru, up 49.6 percent, and Taiwan, up 34.9 percent. The worst performing emerging market countries were The Czech Republic, down -1.4 percent, and Thailand, up 1.9 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 semi-annual period were: Japan, in part driven by overweight positioning and positive selection within the Japanese industrials, financials and information technology baskets; and Turkey, primarily due to overweight positioning to the Turkish financials basket. Countries contributing the most to underperformance relative to the Index included: the UK, mostly as a result of overweight positioning to the UK energy basket; and Germany, largely due to overweight positioning and negative selection within the German communication services basket and negative selection within the German health care basket.
Sectors contributing the most to returns relative to the Index during the semi-annual period included: Financials, largely driven by overweight positioning to the Turkish financials basket; and information technology, largely as a result of overweight positioning to the Dutch and Taiwanese information technology baskets and positive selection paired with overweight positioning to the Japanese information technology basket. Sectors contributing the most to underperformance relative to the Index included: communication services, predominantly driven by overweight positioning and negative selection within the Chinese, German and Canadian communication services baskets; and health care primarily as a result of negative selection paired with overweight positioning to the Swiss health care basket.
Holding Insights
One position that positively contributed to Fund performance during the fiscal semi-annual period was ASML Holding N.V. (ASML NA) (holding weight*: 2.43 percent), a global developer and producer of semiconductor manufacturing equipment, specifically machines to produce chips. Another holding that outperformed was Akbank T.A.S (AKBNK TI) (holding weight*: 2.03 percent), a financial institution that offers retail and corporate banking services. ASMLNA, and AKBNKTI increased 49.7 percent and 83.9 percent, respectively, during the first half of the fiscal year. A couple of stocks that detracted from fund performance were BYD Electronic International Company Ltd. (285 HK) (holding weight*: 0.08 percent), a company that researches and develops handset components for handset manufacturers, and Equinor ASA (EQNR) (holding weight*: 0.07 percent), an energy company that develops oil, gas, wind, and solar energy projects. For the six-month period 285 HK and EQNR fell 18.4 percent and 15.1 percent respectively.
Sub-Adviser Outlook
The Sub-Adviser generally constructs its portfolios by using proprietary econometric models and a proprietary optimization process that balances the trade-off between a stock’s expected return, its contribution to portfolio level risk, portfolio specific restrictions, and its opportunity costs relative to trading costs. As this is performed quantitatively, the Sub-Adviser’s outlook does not play a role in the disciplined investment process.

Dunham Dynamic Macro Fund (Unaudited)
Message from the Sub-Adviser (Vontobel Asset Management, Inc)
Asset Class Recap
Despite continuously stubborn inflation that remained above target levels, the hope for rate cuts later this year and a soft landing remained alive for most of the reporting period as stocks continued to climb overall and bonds managed to keep a steady hand. However, the month of April served as a reminder that adverse macroeconomic data and geopolitical tensions could swiftly disrupt portfolios as both equity and bond markets sold off. A combination of hot US inflation data and a first quarter US GDP point revealing unabated consumer demand fueled market fears for delayed monetary easing. In addition, Iran’s first-ever attack on Israel marked further escalation in the Middle East, with investors apprehensive over the prospect of a broader conflict in the region. As a result, the CBOE Volatility Index spiked, reflecting a rather slow awakening to the abnormally high geopolitical tensions and fragmentation, oil prices creeping higher, as well as reemerging inflation fears. Global equities, as measured by the MSCI All Country World Index (net), increased 19.8 percent during the six-month period ended April 30, 2024 while US equities, as measured by the S&P 500 Index, increased 21.0 percent, and foreign equities, as measured by the MSCI All Country World Index ex US (net), rose 17.7 percent. Bond markets, as measured by the Bloomberg Global Aggregate Bond Unhedged Index, increased 4.4 percent during the same time period. Broad commodities on the other hand, as measured by the S&P GSCI Commodity Dynamic Roll index, increased 2.5 percent. When looking just at the run-up from the beginning of the fiscal year through March, global equities had surged 23.8 percent and global bonds rose 7.1 percent. However, after peaking at the end of March, global equities declined 3.3 percent and global bonds slipped 2.5 percent in the final month of the most recent fiscal quarter.
Allocation Review
The Sub-Adviser utilizes a highly active allocation strategy, which involves large shifts in exposures across three broad asset classes: equities, bonds, and commodities. Early in the fiscal year, the Sub-Adviser’s equity model reversed its equity allocation reduction that had started in the summer of 2023 and rebuilt the Fund’s exposure. At the end of the first fiscal quarter, the equity allocation comprised more than 75 percent, but in the second fiscal quarter the Sub-Adviser’s models pulled back the weighting to 63 percent at the end of April. The term spread serving as a gauge of economic health was the main driver of this development as its positive contribution to the allocation slightly decreased in reaction to reemerging inflation worries against a backdrop of continued economic resilience. This indicates that the market continues to take economic strength as bad news since it might push rate cuts further out which is supported by the negative correlation between positive economic data surprises and market sentiment, where stronger data leads to increased fears of less of policy easing in the medium term. Similarly, the bond allocation model re-entered positive territory in the first fiscal quarter after a prolonged period of being underweight in government bonds, essentially buying into the narrative of the Fed pivot. However, the allocation turned negative at the beginning of March before retreating into more pronounced negative territory at the start of April finishing the period with negative 2.3 years of duration. Momentum acted as the most influential model component whereas mean reversion and carry maintained their slightly positive and negative allocation contributions, respectively. Momentum reacted to strong yield action in the market as bonds were battered once again in April by re-pricings due to changed rate cut expectations which had dwindled to an underwhelming 25 basis points cut not until December as fears of continued Fed hawkishness swept across bond markets. Mean reversion contributes positively to the allocation pointing to chances that interest rates could indeed fall again in the medium term while carry contributes negatively as most government yield curves remain flat or inverted. Directional commodity exposure remained near zero over the period due to the prevailing negative economic outlook captured by the term spread.
Holdings Insights
Within the equity exposure, the Fund continued to maintain holdings in the SPDR S&P 500 ETF Trust (SPY) (holding weight*: 9.96 percent). SPY returned 4.3 percent over the second fiscal quarter, which brought performance over the six-month period to 20.9 percent. The Fund also held the Invesco Nasdaq 100 ETF (QQQM) (holding weight*: 8.04 percent) to get exposure to the more tech-oriented side of US equities. QQQM rose 2.0 percent during the second fiscal quarter, bringing the six-month performance to 21.5 percent. Derivatives in the equity allocation primarily included futures contracts, such as the CME E-Mini Standard & Poor’s 500 Index Future 6/21/2024 (ESM4 IND) (holding notional weight*: 0.39 percent) to quickly adjust the Fund’s exposure to the United States stocks. Since this futures contract was initiated in March, the S&P 500 Index slightly decreased after the addition, resulting in a slight detraction from Fund performance. The Sub-Adviser also continued to access exposure to foreign stocks through the Franklin FTSE United Kingdom ETF (FLGB) (holding weight*: 4.09 percent), the Frankline FTSE Japan ETF (FLJP) (holding weight*: 3.58 percent), and the SPDR EURO STOXX 50 ETF (FEZ) (holding weight*: 4.59 percent). During the second fiscal quarter, FLJP, FLGB, and FEZ increased 1.7 percent, 7.0 percent, and 5.7 percent, respectively. This resulted in FLJP, FLGB, and FEZ increasing 15.1 percent, 17.3 percent, and 23.3 percent, respectively since the start of the fiscal year. The Sub-Adviser also used futures contracts on foreign stock indices, including the TSE TOPIX Future 6/13/2024 (TPM4 IND) (holding notional weight*: 18.02 percent), the Eurex EURO STOXX 50 Future 6/21/2024 (VGM4 IND) (holding notional weight*: 5.97 percent), and the FTSE 100 Index Future 6/21/2024 (Z M4 IND) (holding notional weight*: 6.61 percent). Each of these futures contracts aside from VGM4 IND generally contributed to performance since they were added to the Fund in early March. The TPM4 IND, and Z M4 IND contributed approximately 0.4 percent each since being added to the Fund while VGM4 IND slightly declined.
Sub-Adviser Outlook
The Sub-Adviser believes that 2024 will continue to be meaningfully impacted by the timing and magnitude of the Fed’s interest rate reductions. As the year progresses, all eyes are now on the June FOMC meeting and whether the Fed will keep rates steady or go for the first rate cut as it remains committed to finding a balance between economic growth and inflation. The Sub-Adviser’s risk model eerily continues to flag parallels between today and major pre-recessionary periods like the late 1980s and 2006-2007. These parallels are mainly drawn due to the currently negative term spread, the short rate trend as well as bond market volatility and point towards recessionary risks that continue to build as the effects of previous rate hikes unfold. The Sub-Adviser anticipates that US interest-rate volatility is likely to remain elevated as each new piece of economic data has the potential to alter the Fed’s stance and the market’s expectations on central-bank policy. The future equity trajectory may be decided by whether investors can look through the debate around the timing of rate cuts and focus on the mid-term prospect of a non-recessionary rate hiking cycle that may come to a conclusion soon. The Sub-Adviser’s models will continue to be driven mainly by the economic environment and momentum in bond markets as the economy continues to navigate through uncertain waters.

Dunham Long/Short Credit Fund (Unaudited)
Message from the Sub-Adviser (MetLife Investment Management, LLC)
Asset Class Recap
The fiscal year began on a strong note with investment grade bonds, as measured by the Bloomberg U.S. Corporate Index, rising 10.1 percent and high yield bonds, as measured by ICE BofA U.S. Cash Pay High Yield Index, adding 8.4 percent. An increasingly dovish Federal Reserve spurred a growing chorus calling for a soft landing despite historical evidence that policy tightening impacts the economy over an uncertain timeframe. Bond issuance was muted during the fiscal quarter, further exacerbating the supply/demand imbalance that reigns supreme in credit and has driven spreads to levels that historically leave little room for outperformance. This technical environment was particularly exacerbated at the long end of the curve, where relentless buying from yield sensitive investors is met with the lowest share of issuance since 2011. However, the rally in fixed income securities slowed in the most recent fiscal quarter as rates were pressured higher on the firmer than anticipated inflation readings as well as a strong GDP print which brought the soft-landing versus higher-for-longer debate back into the forefront of investors’ minds. Issuance rebounded in the most recent fiscal quarter which pushed spreads slightly wider. Still, this issuance was met with steady demand, limiting any further technical pressures on corporate bond spreads. Over the most recent fiscal quarter, investment grade bonds gave back 2.8 percent while high-yield bonds added 0.4 percent. Over the first six months of the fiscal year, short and intermediate-term corporates underperformed their longer-dated counterparts, as the Bloomberg US Corporate 3-5 years Index gave increased 5.0 percent while the Bloomberg US Corporate 7-10 years Index surged 8.4 percent. The beta rally in high-yield credit continued, with the lowest credit quality bonds rallying the most. Over the most recent fiscal quarter ended April 30, 2024, the ICE BofA CCC & Lower US High-Yield Index jumped 12.2 percent, outperforming the ICE BofA Single-B US Cash Pay High-Yield Index which added 8.9 percent.
Allocation Review
The Fund’s core long positions were the strongest contributor to Fund performance over the first six months of the fiscal year. The exposure to the core long positions decreased from approximately 42 percent to 30 percent, helping drive down the net notional exposure of the Fund from approximately 18.8 percent to 6.2 percent. The Sub-Adviser continued to implement its interest rate hedging strategy, which resulted in an overall duration of approximately 0.34 years. This interest rate hedging strategy primarily utilizes Treasury bond futures of various maturities to maintain an overall duration exposure for the Fund. This exposure meaningfully helped the Fund avoid some of the most significant losses amid the Fed’s aggressive monetary tightening cycle, but as speculation grew around the easing of monetary policy, this exposure detracted from Fund performance as US Treasury yields fell over a percent in the first fiscal quarter of the year. However, this exposure once again contributed to Fund performance in the most recent fiscal quarter, as disappointing inflation readings prompted the yield on the 10 year U.S. Treasury to rise 76 basis points. The Sub-Adviser also continued to manage credit risk exposure with credit default swaps on broad baskets of high-yield and investment grade debt, as well as with total return swaps on the IBOXX High-Yield Bond Index. At the end of the most recent fiscal quarter, the aggregate gross notional value of these credit default swaps and total return swaps was over 38 percent of the Fund. The Fund also had exposure to strategies that are generally less reliant on the market’s trajectory, such as pairs trades, catalyst-driven investments, and opportunistic trading. During the fiscal period, these strategies in aggregate comprised close to 27 percent of the Fund, with an allocation of approximately 8 percent to opportunistic trading, 12 percent to pairs trades, and 7 percent catalyst driven trades.
Holdings Insights
The top-performing credits within the Fund were long-duration and meaningfully benefited from the decline in interest rates in the first fiscal quarter. This included the Societe Generale S.A. 7.367%, Due 01/10/2053 (83368RBT8) (holding weight*: 1.47 percent), a European leader in financial services, and JBS USA Finance, Inc. 6.5%, Due 12/01/2052 (46590XAX4) (holding weight*: 1.40 percent) a dual issuer that operates as a special purpose entity. Over the six-month period, these credits added 17.7 percent and 19.6 percent, respectively. Another strong contributor to positive Fund performance was Rockcliff Energy II LLC 5.5% Due 10/15/2029 (77289KAA3) (holding weight**: 0.45 percent), a company that focuses on natural gas production in the east Texas portion of the Haynesville Shale play. During the first fiscal quarter, it was announced that Tokyo Gas (TKGSY) (not held) announced the acquisition of Rockcliff Energy II for $2.7 billion, prompting the credit to rally 7.6 percent before being sold in mid-December. At the conclusion of the first fiscal quarter, the Sub-Adviser added the Rakuten Group, Inc. 11.25%, Due 02/15/2027 (75102WAG3) (holding weight*: 1.00 percent), a cash-back and shopping rewards company. Since being added to the Fund this credit contributed to Fund performance by rising 4.7 percent in reaction to a strong earnings report. Within the opportunistic trading strategy, the Fund benefited from the exposure to the UBS Group A.G. 9.25% Fixed until 11/13/2028 Due 05/13/2172 (902613BF4) (holding weight**: 2.08 percent). In 2023, the merger engineered by the Swiss government led to a wipeout of $17 billion of Credit Suisse AT1 bonds. In November, UBS raised $3.5 billion for its first sale of AT1 bonds since the sell off, providing further signs that confidence is returning. During the six-month period, this position increased by 1.7 percent before it was sold later in the same trading session.
The macro shorts were the largest drag on performance. For example, the Fund held the CDX NA HY 42 (CDXNAHY42) (holding notional weight*: 9.15 percent), a credit default swap on a basket of high-yield bonds, detracted from Fund performance as high-yield bonds rose 8.9 percent, as measured by the ICE BofA U.S. Cash Pay High Yield Index. Elsewhere, a hand handful of idiosyncratic credit stories detracted as well. Del Monte Foods Inc. Floating Rate Due 05/16/2029(BL3847425) (holding weight**: 0.91 percent), one of the country’s largest producer, distributor and marketer of branded processed food for the U.S. retail market detracted from Fund performance. During the first fiscal quarter, the price of this loan declined 8.4 percent prior to being sold following a disappointing earnings report. In the report, the company posted net income of $8.4 million, down from $33.3 million a year earlier. The Fund was also adversely impacted by the positions in Athene Global Funding 5.684% Due 02/23/2026 (04685A3S8) (holding weight: 1.44 percent) and Ford Otomotiv Sanayi A/S 7.125%, Due 04/25/2029 (345409AC0) (holding weight*: 1.03 percent). Since being added to the these credits rose just 0.1 percent and fell 0.1 percent, respectively.
Sub-Adviser Outlook
The Fund is focused on providing attractive risk-adjusted returns, regardless of the market environment, while significantly dampening drawdown risk. The Sub-Adviser believes that the investment grade market continues to offer attractive yields, but spreads at or near multidecade tights fail to account for even the best economic outcomes moving forward. The Sub-Adviser continues to believe that the market is priced to perfection, allowing for no missteps along the way to the much-anticipated soft landing. The Sub-Adviser sees numerous potential potholes along that path including but not limited elevated maturity walls, geopolitical risks, and sticky inflation. Record borrowing at near zero yields and mountains of stimulus have dampened the effect of restrictive monetary policy. This could spell higher yields for longer than the market previously anticipated, and issuance is up year-over-year as companies come to the realization that long term financing may be as good as it gets for some time. The Sub-Adviser views timing as the most challenging variable in the market, but the asymmetry is as significant as it can recall. The Fund’s bias to the front end of the curve and the associated yield allows the Sub-Adviser to build from that exposure and be patient to wait for a correction in spreads. The Sub-Adviser concedes that the worst-case scenario for the economy looks far less likely than it did a year ago, but it also believes there to be far too much optimism priced into spreads. The Sub-Adviser is confident that the higher quality posture and healthy liquidity in the Fund leave it well-positioned to take advantage of a more appropriately valued credit market.

Dunham Monthly Distribution Fund (Unaudited)
Message from the Sub-Adviser (Grantham, Mayo, Van Otterloo & Co., LLC)
Asset Class Recap
After US equity markets, as measured by the S&P 500 Index, surged 16.0 percent in the first fiscal quarter, the second fiscal quarter saw US equities rise 4.3 percent. This brought overall performance since the start of the fiscal year to 21.0 percent. Headlines continued to revolve around the speed and magnitude of the Federal Open Market Committee’s interest rate decreases in 2024. The overall run-up in equities coincided with volatility generally subsiding through March, as measured by the Chicago Board Options Exchange’s CBOE Volatility Index (VIX). The VIX is generally referred to as the “fear gauge,” and a higher reading generally signifies more investor uncertainty. Although much of the six-month period saw the VIX ebb around the 14 range, a spike in fear during mid-April coincided with the VIX jumping to 19.2 before subsiding to 15.7 to end the second fiscal quarter. After bonds experienced a rebound in the first fiscal quarter, as the Bloomberg Global Aggregate Bond Unhedged Index increased 7.9 percent, the rate uncertainty in the second fiscal quarter resulted in a 3.2 percent decline. This brought bond performance since the start of the fiscal year down to a positive 4.4 percent. However, the merger-arbitrage asset class, as measured by the Credit Suisse Merger Arbitrage Liquid Index, had only increased 0.1 percent over the first fiscal quarter. Therefore, the greater than 0.5 percent detraction in the second fiscal quarter caused the asset class to be down 0.5 percent for the six-month period ended April 30, 2024. Mergers and acquisitions had faced a volatile 2023 primarily due to a FTC administration that has increased scrutiny of US mergers, geopolitical tensions between China and the US leading to increased concerns that Chinese regulatory approvals may be withheld for political reasons, and some high-profile failed deals in the banking sector. These concerns had not meaningfully abated as the new year commenced.
Allocation Review
The Fund primarily has exposure to a select group of merger deals. The Sub-Adviser evaluates each situation based upon its risk-reward profile using a probability-weighted basis. If the probability-weighted upside for a deal is substantial relative to the potential downside from the deal breaking, then the Sub-Adviser may add that as an opportunity for the Fund. The Fund continued to invest in both cash-only mergers and mergers where the acquirer’s stock was also a consideration in the deal. Although the deal terms including just stock or just cash or a combination of stock and cash generally do not coincide with a larger spread on a merger deal, deals that include stock of the acquirer as part of the deal consideration generally necessitate shorting the acquirer’s stock in order to effectively lock in the merger spread. In addition to merger arbitrage, the Fund had exposure to some share class arbitrage situations, where two share classes of stock from the same issuing company trade at a significantly wider spread than historical averages. The Sub-Adviser may use options to potentially manage the overall risk of the other holdings or to generate option premium income on the target companies that it also holds long. The use of derivatives, including covered call options did not have a meaningful impact on the Fund’s performance during the six-month period ended April 30, 2024. However, the short positions in the acquirer’s stock consideration in stock-for-stock mergers did have a material impact on performance.
Holdings Insights
A deal that detracted from performance during the first fiscal quarter was the all-cash acquisition of Albertsons Companies Inc. (ACI) (holding weight*: 6.92 percent) by the Kroger Co. (KR) (holding weight*: -1.97 percent). After the Washington State Attorney General filed a lawsuit against the deal, the shares dropped, resulting in a 1.7 percent loss during the first fiscal quarter. The second fiscal quarter saw the deal spread widen even further, as ACI declined another 3.3 percent. In addition, the Sub-Adviser added a short position in KR mid-March. KR increased approximately 0.7 percent since the short position was implemented, which detracted further from Fund performance. Overall, since the start of the fiscal year, ACI had declined 4.9 percent and the deal spread had widened to levels that the Sub-Adviser believes that there is more than enough compensation built-in for the risk it is taking remaining in the deal.
One of the largest contributors to Fund performance during the six-month period ended April 30, 2024 involved a deal that had a high amount of uncertainty regarding its prospects for a successful completion. The Fund had endured much of the volatility from the cash or stock acquisition of VMware LLC (VMW) (holding weight**: 4.89 percent) by Broadcom, Inc. (AVGO) (holding weight**: -3.19 percent). At the beginning of the fiscal year the spread when considering the stock terms was at 45.6 percent. However, the concerns regarding China approval finally ended when the deal successfully closed in late November 2023. This resulted in a substantial gain to the Fund as the wide spread on the deal contracted as the deal closed. From the beginning of the fiscal year through the deal close date in late November, AVGO rose 16.6 percent while VMW declined 2.2 percent. While these movements were adverse to the Fund, the sudden closing of the deal and related terms received resulted in a significant gain to the Fund.
A deal that broke in the first fiscal quarter remained as a position in the Fund in the second fiscal quarter. The stock-for-stock acquisition of Pioneer Natural Resources Company (PXD) (holding weight*: 7.96 percent) by Exxon Mobil Corp. (XOM) (holding weight*: -8.12 percent) saw the definitive merger agreement expire in January. However, in the second fiscal quarter PXD jumped 18.5 percent while XOM increased 16.1 percent, resulting in an overall gain to the Fund. When measured over the six-month period ended April 30, 2024, PXD increased 15.5 percent and XOM increased 13.8 percent, which still represented a positive overall gain to the Fund.
Sub-Adviser Outlook
Despite volatility in interest rates and the uncertainty that comes with the potential changes in administration due to the US presidential election, the Sub-Adviser continues to believe that the deal opportunity set remains robust. The Sub-Adviser continues to believe that spreads are generally providing adequate compensation for the risks presented with each deal as well as reflecting the significantly higher short-term interest rates. The Sub-Adviser anticipates that deal close rates may continue to be lower in the near-term due to slightly elevated political pressure on high-profile deals both in the US and abroad. However, it believes that there are plentiful deals that offer concessions above the risk that the Sub-Adviser assessed on the deal. Therefore, the Sub-Adviser believes that the reward for identifying successful deals, as well as deals that have a meaningful contraction from their currently significant spreads, continue to be ample. Regardless of the environment, the Sub-Adviser will continue its rigorous, bottom-up research process when selecting, monitoring, and potentially eliminating deals from the Fund.

PORTFOLIO REVIEW (Unaudited) |
April 30, 2024 |
The Fund’s performance figures* ^ for each of the periods ended April 30, 2024, compared to its benchmarks:
Annualized | Annualized | |||
6 Month Return | 1 Year Return | 5 Year Return | 10 Year Return | |
Class N | 2.80% | 3.21% | 1.47% | 1.69% |
Class A with Load 5.75% | (3.24)% | (2.97)% | 0.02% | 0.83% |
Class A without load | 2.67% | 2.95% | 1.21% | 1.43% |

Credit Suisse Merger Arbitrage Liquid Index (a) | (0.48)% | 2.63% | 3.51% | 2.51% |
Morningstar Event Driven Category (b) | 3.09% | 4.00% | 3.45% | 3.23% |
* | Total Returns are calculated based on traded NAVs. 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 2.03% for Class N, 3.03% for Class C and 2.28% 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. For performance information current to the most recent month-end, please call 1-800-442-4358 or visit our website www.dunham.com. |
^ | The Dunham Monthly Distribution Fund’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, the Fund’s distribution policy is not designed to generate, and is not expected to result in, distributions that equal a fixed percentage of the Fund’s current net asset value per share. Shareholders receiving periodic payments from the Fund may be under the impression that they are receiving net profits. All or a portion of a distribution may consist of a return of capital, which would be a return of original shareholder investments in the Fund and not an income or capital gains distribution. Shareholders should not assume that the source of a distribution from the Fund is net profit. For more information about the Fund’s distribution policy, please turn to the “Distribution Policy and Goals” section in the Fund’s Prospectus. For disclosure regarding the extent to which the Fund’s distribution policy resulted in distributions of capital (i.e., a return of capital), please refer to Form 19a-1 Notice available at https://www.dunham.com/FA/FundInfo/MonthlyDistribution#distribution |
(a) | Effective March 1, 2023, the Benchmark Index of the Dunham Monthly Distribution Fund is the Credit Suisse Merger Arbitrage Liquid Index. Due to the discontinuation of the IQ Hedge Market Neutral Total Return Index in March 2023, the performance through April 30, 2024 is not available. The Credit Suisse Merger Arbitrage Liquid Index aims to gain broad exposure to the merger arbitrage strategy using pre-defined quantitative methodology to invest in a liquid, diversified and broadly representative set of announced merger deals. |
(b) | 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. |

Dunham Real Estate Stock Fund (Unaudited)
Message from the Sub-Adviser (American Assets Capital Advisers, LLC)
Asset Class Recap
Real estate stocks experienced a tumultuous period the previous fiscal year as aggressive monetary policy prompted a rally in U.S. Treasury yields. Higher interest rates are potentially a headwind for the asset class as elevated rates would likely come with increased borrowing costs for real estate companies and compress the spread many use to value these securities.. Since March 2022, the Federal Reserve raised interest rates from near zero to a range of 5.25 percent to 5.50 percent. In the previous fiscal year alone, the yield on the 10-year U.S. Treasury fell to a low of 3.31 percent before rallying over 160 basis points to 4.93 percent. Over this period, real estate stocks, as measured by the Dow Jones U.S. Real Estate Total Return Index, underperformed the broad U.S. stock market, as measured by the S&P 500 Index, which ended the fiscal year up 10.1 percent. To begin the most recent fiscal year, sentiment surrounding the asset class drastically shifted as ongoing concerns regarding the federal deficit and continuation of aggressive monetary policy abated. During the previous fiscal quarter, the Federal Reserve voted unanimously to hold rates steady and forecasted three rate cuts in 2024. Economic data also helped bolster the narrative that investors increasingly believe that the period of monetary policy tightening may have ended, and some speculate that the first rate cuts could come as soon as the first half of 2024. In the first Federal Reserve meeting of 2024, the central bank once again kept rates unchanged. However, at its conclusion, Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell dashed hopes of a rate cut in March, stating that he would like to see more progress on inflation. Pressure on the asset class continued in the most recent fiscal quarter due to a string of stronger than anticipated inflation readings and a more hawkish than anticipated rhetoric from numerous Federal Reserve officials. In reaction, mortgage rates rebounded, and the yield on the 10-Year US Treasury hit its highest level since October 2023. Over the first six-months of the fiscal year, real estate stocks rose 15.2 percent, underperforming the broad U.S. stock market, which added 20.21 percent.
Allocation Review
The Sub-Adviser focuses on companies with competitive advantages that it believes can increase net operating income, independent of what is happening in the economy. Given this bias, the Sub-Adviser gravitates away from cyclical sectors, which detracted from Fund performance over the fiscal six-month period. Specifically, the Fund had no exposure to traditional apartment and office REITs, which detracted from the Fund’s relative performance, as these sectors meaningfully outperformed the benchmark. Conversely, the Fund was overweight data center and cellular tower REITs, which detracted meaningfully to the Fund’s relative performance as these REITs were some of the worst-performing REIT sectors over the most recent fiscal period. However, the negative impact form these exposures were offset by positive contributions from the off-benchmark exposure to casino and gaming, power utility companies, and specialized industrial REITs.
Holdings Insights
After being one of the strongest performing REIT sectors the previous fiscal year, data center REITs detracted from Fund performance over the most recent six-month period. Demand for data centers skyrocketed amid the enthusiasm surrounding artificial intelligence. In reaction, data center companies such as Equinix, Inc. (EQIX) (holding weight*: 7.13 percent) and DigitalBridge Group, Inc. (DBRG) (holding weight*: 4.27 percent) surged 31.3 percent and 24.2 percent, respectively. However, over the most recent period, EQIX gave back 1.5 percent and DBRG added just 3.8 percent as stubborn inflation and a more hawkish than anticipated Federal Reserve weighed on the historically interest rate-sensitive technology sector. The Sub-Adviser’s confidence in these positions remains and attributes the declines to general market weakness and not idiosyncratic issues with the stocks. The meaningful increase in data center demand has also resulted in an exponential increase in the need for electricity, acting as a tailwind for power-related companies within the Fund. This includes FTAI Infrastructure, Inc. (FIP) (holding weight*: 8.50 percent), a company in the business of acquiring, developing, and operating assets and businesses that represent critical infrastructure for customers in the transportation and energy industries. Over the most recent six-month period, FIP surged 139.9 percent. Another position that positively contributed to Fund performance was GE Vernova, LLC (GEV) (holding weight*: 1.66 percent), an energy company that provides, among others, energy consulting, energy financial services, gas power, grid solutions, nuclear energy, power conversion, renewable energy, and steam power. Since being added to the Fund in early April, GEV rose 9.8 percent.
Some of the worst-performing positions within the Fund came from the Industrial REIT sector. Prologis, Inc. (PLD) (holding weight*: 2.57 percent), the world’s largest industrial property company, tumbled 18.9 percent over the most recent fiscal quarter and rose just 2.7 percent over the first six months of the fiscal year after the company provided concerning guidance for the rest of 2024. In its first quarter earnings release, PLD reported better-than-anticipated revenue of $1.96 billion and earnings of $584.3 million. Still, PLD cut its annual guidance for 2024, citing slowing demand amid broader shifts in consumer spending and more stringent inventory controls by retailers and manufacturers. PLD’s CEO added that warehouse vacancy rates are up as companies are taking a more cautious approach to leasing due to high interest rates, an uncertain economic outlook, and heightened geopolitical tensions. The concerning outlook from the sector’s largest company weighed on the industry as a whole. For example, industrial real estate companies Rexford industrial Realty, Inc. (REXR) (holding weight*: 2.86 percent) rose just 0.5 percent, while Americold Realty Trust, Inc. (COLD) (holding weight*: 2.19 percent) fell 14.9 percent over the six-month period. Innovative Industrial Properties, Inc. (IIPR) (holding weight*: 5.57 percent), an industrial REIT that leases specialized real estate to state-licensed cannabis operators, jumped 49.1 percent amidst speculation that cannabis could be rescheduled ahead of the U.S. Presidential Election.
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 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 will 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 in the long-term, the properties with these characteristics can command higher occupancy rates and better rents.

Dunham U.S. Enhanced Market Fund (Unaudited)
Message from the Sub-Adviser (PGIM Quantitative Solutions LLC)
Asset Class Recap
The U.S. equity market rallied over the first fiscal quarter as investors became increasingly optimistic that the Federal Reserve could engineer the allusive goldilocks scenario of the Federal Reserve bringing inflation down to its 2 percent target without pushing the economy into a recession. Throughout the three months, investors cheered the continued softening of the Federal Reserve’s preferred measure of inflation as prices eased in December to 2.9 percent year-over-year in December, near the Federal Reserve’s target of 2 percent. Despite tight monetary policy, the labor market remained resilient, and economic growth displayed strength. Equity markets continued to rally in the most recent fiscal quarter as investors reacted positively to encouraging fourth-quarter earnings reports. Inflation ticked up higher in the quarter, and economic data proved resilient with strong GDP growth and a resilient labor market. In response, the expected pace of monetary easing declined meaningfully from the start of the year but did little to thwart the equity rally through March. To close the most recent fiscal quarter, equity markets sold off in April as higher-than-anticipated inflation coupled with weakening economic growth sparked concern that the goldilocks scenario of the Federal Reserve engineering a soft landing may not come to fruition. Over the most recent fiscal quarter ended April 30, 2024, the U.S. equity market, as measured by the S&P 500 Index, increased 4.3 percent, while U.S. Treasury bonds, as measured by the Bloomberg US Treasury Total Return Index, gave back 3.0 percent.
Allocation Review
The Fund seeks to deliver an asymmetrical return profile by providing increasing upside in up markets, while reducing volatility and limiting drawdowns in downturns. The Sub-Adviser tactically manages the Fund’s sensitivity, as measured by Delta, to the benchmark index. The equity exposure within the Fund is primarily constructed of call options and futures on the S&P 500 in order to provide upside participation in rising equity markets and is the largest contributor to the Fund’s sensitivity to the benchmark index. To begin the most recent fiscal quarter, the Fund’s overall sensitivity of its equity exposure was 1.06. Over the fiscal quarter, the Sub-Adviser allowed the equity sensitivity to run up to 1.18 through March and settle at 1.14 to the close the fiscal quarter. This higher sensitivity meaningfully contributed to Fund performance as the equity markets rallied in the first two months of the fiscal quarter, but detracted in April as equity markets sold off. The Sub-Adviser remains cautious in its equity outlook, but it will allow the equity sensitivity to rise above its baseline if they believe risks have dissipated in the market.
Conversely, the fixed income allocation is intended to serve as a safe haven during turbulent market events and provide downside protection. Within this exposure, the Sub-Adviser typically targets 67 percent of the duration of the Bloomberg Intermediate Treasury Index. Given the duration of the index is approximately 3.8 years, the Fund’s current target duration target is approximately 2.5 years. However, over the most recent fiscal quarter the Sub-Adviser has remained risk averse regarding interest rate risk by keeping the duration low at 0.13 years. This was achieved by increasing the allocation to Treasury Bills as the inverted US yield curve indicated a higher yield at shorter maturities. Over the fiscal quarter the fixed income exposure modestly contributed to Fund performance despite the US Treasury yield curve rising over the period. Moving forward, the Sub-Adviser could potentially use yield curve normalization as a signal on when to extend duration.
Holdings Insights
In order to implement the equity allocation described above, the Fund utilized long-dated S&P 500 call options in combination with S&P 500 futures contracts in order to provide upside participation. The option exposure within the Fund was the most meaningful contributor to positive Fund performance over the fiscal quarter as option prices were positively impacted by increases in interest rates and implied volatility, along with a decrease in the implied dividend yield, as time decay detracted value as usual. The position in the S&P 500 INDEX SPXW US 05/17/28 C4150 Flex Option (C4150280516) (holding weight*: 32.52 percent) aided the Fund in its goal of providing increasing upside in up markets. This was evident over the strong equity rally in the first two months of the fiscal quarter where the S&P 500 index added 8.6 percent. Over the fiscal quarter, this option increased 16.4 percent. The equity futures exposure also aided positive Fund performance. This included, the CME E-Mini Standard & Poor’s 500 Index Future 03/15/2024 (ESH4) (holding notional weight&**: 16.84 percent) which contributed to Fund performance over the fiscal quarter by rising 5.2 percent before being sold from the fund in early March.
Within the fixed income exposure, the Fund employs individual US Treasuries, US Treasury bond futures, and cash to provide downside protections for the Fund. Over the fiscal quarter, the yield on the 10-year US Treasury rose 76 basis points to 4.68 percent, prompting a selloff in bond markets. Within the Fund, the CBOT 5 Year US Treasury Note 06/28/2024 (FVM4) (holding notional weight*: 30.20 percent) fell 1.8 percent percent since being added to the Fund. However, the substantial exposure to cash and short term treasury helped this exposure contribute positively to positive Fund performance. For example, the United States Treasury Bill 0%, Due 05/02/2024 (912797HH3) (holding weight*: 24.60 percent) increased 0.6 percent since being added to the Fund early in the fiscal quarter.
Sub-Adviser Outlook
Investors are anxiously awaiting the start of policy rate cuts, but the Federal Reserve continues to emphasize that it will take an unhurried approach when it comes to interest rate cuts. Still, the Sub-Adviser is cautiously optimistic for the rest of 2024 and beyond as the global economy has remained resilient. The Sub-Adviser believes that the near-term U.S. growth outlook appears solid, with economic data continuing to surprise on the upside. Labor market strength is helping the economy weather the impact of the Federal Reserve’s hikes. While U.S. equity prices relative to earnings have risen, the Sub-Adviser views valuations as not excessive, and earnings outlooks remain healthy. Among large caps, performance continued to broaden in early 2024. If this trend continues, the Sub-Adviser is confident that the Index will fare well for the rest of the year. After a rally in fixed-income markets to start the fiscal year, rates spiked as the Federal Reserve’s progress towards its 2 percent target appeared to stall. The Sub-Adviser is of the belief that moving forward the outlook for bonds remains tenuous. Barring rapid economic deterioration, a sizeable duration rally seems unlikely, and rates could move higher still if inflation remains above the Fed’s 2 percent target.

As disclosed in the Trust’s latest registration statement, the Fund’s total annual operating expenses, including underlying funds, are 1.61% for Class N, 2.61% for Class C and 1.86% 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.

(a) | The S&P 500 Total Return Index, a registered trademark of S&P Global., Inc., is a market capitalization-weighted index of 500 widely held common stocks. Investors cannot invest directly in an Index. |
(b) | The Morningstar Moderately Conservative Allocation Category is generally representative of funds seeking to provide both income and capital appreciation by primarily investing in multiple asset classes, including stocks, bonds, and cash. These moderately conservative strategies prioritize preservation of capital over appreciation. They typically expect volatility similar to a strategic equity exposure between 30% and 50%. |

1. | ORGANIZATION |
Each Dunham Fund (each, a “Fund” and collectively the “Funds”) is a series of shares of beneficial interest in the Dunham Funds (the “Trust”), a Delaware Business Trust organized on November 28, 2007 and registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, (the “1940 Act”) as an open-end management investment company. The Dunham Funds currently consist of fifteen 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; Dunham Real Estate Stock Fund; and Dunham U.S. Enhanced Market Fund. With the exception of Dunham Focused Large Cap Growth Fund, Dunham Real Estate Stock Fund, and Dunham U.S. Enhanced Market Fund, the remaining Funds are diversified funds within the meaning of the 1940 Act.

Currently, each Fund offers Class A, Class C and Class N shares. Each class represents an interest in the same assets of the applicable Fund with the only 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, Monthly Distribution, and U.S. Enhanced Market 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, Monthly Distribution, and U.S. Enhanced Market 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. U.S. Enhanced Market commenced operations on May 1, 2023.
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 (Unaudited)(Continued) |
April 30, 2024 |
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 will be valued using the “fair value” procedures approved by the Board of Trustees (the“Board”). The Board has delegated execution of these procedures to the Adviser as its valuation designee (the “Valuation Designee”) based on the Trust’s Portfolio Securities Valuation Procedures (the “Procedures”). 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.
The Funds may invest in portfolios of open-end, closed-end investment companies and Exchange Traded Funds (“ETFs”) (the “underlying funds”). Underlying open-end investment companies are valued at their respective net asset values as reported by such investment companies. 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 by the methods established by the boards of the underlying funds. The shares of many closed-end investment companies and ETFs, 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 or ETF purchased by a Fund will not change.
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. 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, will be valued using the “fair value” procedures approved by the Board. The Board has delegated execution of these procedures to the Adviser as its Valuation Designee based on the Trust’s 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.

The Funds utilize various methods to measure the fair value of their investments on a recurring basis. GAAP establishes a hierarchy that prioritizes inputs to valuation methods. The three levels of input are:
Level 1 – Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities.
Level 2 – Observable inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly. These inputs may include quoted prices for the identical instrument on an inactive market, prices for similar instruments, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, yield curves, default rates and similar data.
Level 3 – Unobservable inputs for the asset or liability, to the extent relevant observable inputs are not available, representing the Funds’ own assumptions about the assumptions a market participant would use in valuing the asset or liability, and would be based on the best information available.
The availability of observable inputs can vary from security to security and is affected by a wide variety of factors, including, for example, the type of security, whether the security is new and not yet established in the marketplace, the liquidity of markets, and other characteristics particular to the security. To the extent that valuation is based on models or inputs that are less observable or unobservable in the market, the determination of fair value requires more judgment. Accordingly, the degree of judgment exercised in determining fair value is greatest for instruments categorized in Level 3.
The inputs used to measure fair value may fall into different levels of the fair value hierarchy. In such cases, for disclosure purposes, the level in the fair value hierarchy within which the fair value measurement falls in its entirety, is determined based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety.
The inputs or methodology used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities. The following tables summarize the inputs used as of April 30, 2024 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 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.
193
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited)(Continued) |
April 30, 2024 |
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, Monthly Distribution, and U.S. Enhanced Market 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 may 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 may enter into interest rate, index, total return, credit default and currency exchange rate swap agreements in attempts to obtain a particular desired return at a lower cost to the Fund than if the Fund has invested directly in an instrument that yielded that desired return. 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.
g. Swaps Risk. The Fund may use swaps to enhance returns and manage risk. The Fund’s use of swaps involves risks different from, or possibly greater than, the risks associated with investing directly in securities and other traditional investments. These risks include (i) the risk that the counterparty to a derivative transaction may not fulfill its contractual obligations; (ii) risk of mispricing or improper valuation; and (iii) the risk that changes in the value of the derivative may not correlate perfectly with the underlying asset, rate or index. Derivative prices are highly volatile and may fluctuate substantially during a short period of time. Such prices are influenced by numerous factors that affect the markets, including, but not limited to: changing supply and demand relationships; government programs and policies; national and international political and economic events, changes in interest rates, inflation and deflation and changes in supply and demand relationships. Trading derivative instruments involves risks different from, or possibly greater than, the risks associated with investing directly in securities. Derivative contracts ordinarily have leverage inherent in their terms. The low margin deposits normally required in trading derivatives, including futures contracts, permit a high degree of leverage. Accordingly, a relatively small price movement may result in an immediate and substantial loss to the Fund. The use of leverage may also cause the Fund to liquidate portfolio
194
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited)(Continued) |
April 30, 2024 |
positions when it would not be advantageous to do so in order to satisfy its obligations or to meet collateral segregation requirements. The use of leveraged derivatives can magnify the Fund’s potential for loss and, therefore, amplify the effects of market volatility on the Fund’s share price.
h. Futures Contracts – International Opportunity Bond, Dynamic Macro, Long/Short Credit, and U.S. Enhanced Market are subject to equity risk, interest rate risk and forward currency exchange rate risk in the normal course of pursuing their investment objectives. The Funds may purchase or sell futures contracts to gain exposure to, or hedge against, changes in the value of equities, interest rates, and foreign exchange rates. Initial margin deposits required upon entering into futures contracts are satisfied by the segregation of specific securities or cash as collateral for the account of the broker (the Fund’s agent in acquiring the futures position). During the period the futures contracts are open, changes in the value of the contracts are recognized as unrealized gains or losses by “marking to market” on a daily basis to reflect the market value of the contracts at the end of each day’s trading. Variation margin payments are received or made depending upon whether unrealized gains or losses are incurred. When the contracts are closed, the Funds recognize a realized gain or loss equal to the difference between the proceeds from, or cost of, the closing transaction and the Fund’s basis in the contract. If the Funds were unable to liquidate a futures contract and/or enter into an offsetting closing transaction, the Funds would continue to be subject to market risk with respect to the value of the contracts and continue to be required to maintain the margin deposits on the futures contracts. The Funds segregate cash having a value at least equal to the amount of the current obligation under any open futures contract. Risks may exceed amounts recognized in the Statements of Assets and Liabilities. With futures, there is minimal counterparty credit risk to the Funds since futures are exchange traded and the exchange’s clearinghouse, as counterparty to all exchange traded futures, guarantees the futures against default.
i. 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.
j. Impact of Derivatives on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities and Statements of Operations – The following is a summary of the location of derivative investments of each Fund in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities as of April 30, 2024:

k. Offsetting of Financial Assets & Liabilities and Derivative Assets & Liabilities – International Opportunity Bond, Dynamic Macro, Long/Short Credit, and Monthly Distribution policies are to recognize a gross asset or liability equal to the unrealized amounts on forward foreign currency exchange contracts, swaps and written options. The futures held by the Funds are not subject to offsetting. The following table shows additional information regarding the offsetting of assets and liabilities at April 30, 2024.

m. Exchanged Traded Funds – The Funds may invest in 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.
n. 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 less foreign tax withholding (if any), 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 and foreign tax withholding (If any). 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.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited)(Continued) |

o. Foreign Capital Gains Taxes — Foreign Capital Gains taxes are generally based on either income or gains earned or repatriated cash. Foreign Capital Gains tax is provided in accordance with the Funds’ understanding of applicable country’s tax using a tax service in that country. Each Fund accrues and applies such taxes to net investment income, net realized gains and net unrealized gains as income and/or capital gains earned. The Trust is monitoring and recording accrued foreign capital gains tax on appreciated securities of $1,074,633 as of April 30, 2024, on Emerging Markets as shown on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. For the six months ended April 30, 2024, Emerging Markets recorded net change in unrealized depreciation on Accrued Foreign Capital Gains Tax on Appreciated Securities of $444,017 as shown on the Statement of Operations.
p. Foreign Tax Reclaims —The Funds are subject to foreign withholding tax imposed by certain foreign countries in which the Funds may invest. Withholding taxes are incurred on certain foreign dividends and are accrued at the time the dividend is recognized based on applicable foreign tax laws. The Funds may file withholding tax refunds in certain jurisdictions to recover a portion of amounts previously withheld. The Funds will record a receivable for such tax refunds based on several factors including; an assessment of a jurisdiction’s legal obligation to pay reclaims, administrative practices and payment history.
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 2021 to 2023 and expected to be taken in tax year 2024 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 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. | PRINCIPAL INVESTMENT RISKS |
a. Concentration of Risk – Investing in securities of foreign issuers and currency transactions may involve certain considerations and risks not typically associated with investments in the United States. These risks include revaluation of currencies, adverse fluctuations in foreign currency values and possible adverse political, social and economic developments, including those particular to a specific industry, country or region. These conditions could cause the securities and their markets to be less liquid and prices more volatile than those of comparable U.S. companies and U.S. government securities.
Small capitalization (“small cap”) companies may be more vulnerable than larger capitalization companies to adverse business or economic developments. Small cap companies may also have limited product lines, markets or financial resources, and may be dependent on a relatively small management group. Securities of such companies may be less liquid and more volatile than securities of larger capitalization companies or the market averages in general and therefore may involve greater risk than investing in larger capitalization companies.
The ability of issuers of debt securities held by the Funds to meet their obligations may be affected by economic and political developments particular to a specific industry, country, state or region. Investments in lower grade debt securities are subject to special risks, including greater price volatility and a greater risk of loss of principal and interest.

Certain Funds may invest in collateralized mortgage obligations which are secured by groups of individual mortgages, but are similar to a conventional bond where the investor looks only to the issuer for payment of principal and interest. Although the obligations are recourse obligations to the issuer, the issuer typically has no significant assets, other than assets pledged as collateral for the obligations, and the market value of the collateral, which is sensitive to interest rate movements, may affect the market value of the obligations. A public market for a particular collateralized mortgage obligation may or may not develop and thus, there can be no guarantee of liquidity of an investment in such obligations.
The risk in writing a call option is that a Fund may forgo the opportunity of profit if the market value of the underlying security increases and the option is exercised, although any potential loss is reduced by the amount of option premium received. The risk in writing a put option is that a Fund may be called on to pay the exercise price of the option for a security that has decreased (potentially to zero) in market price, although any potential loss is reduced by the amount of option premium received. Generally, option transactions also involve risks concerning liquidity of the options market. An illiquid market for an option may limit a Fund’s ability to write options or enter closing transactions. As the options written by the Funds are traded on a national exchange, counterparty and credit risk are limited to the failure of the exchange on which the options are traded.
b. 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.
c. Emerging Markets Risk – Emerging market countries may have relatively unstable governments, weaker economies, and less -developed legal systems which do not protect securities holders. Emerging market economies may be based on only a few industries and security issuers may be more susceptible to economic weakness and more likely to default. Emerging market securities also tend to be less liquid.
d. Foreign Investing Risk – Investments in foreign countries are subject to currency risk and country-specific risks such as political, diplomatic, regional conflicts, terrorism, war, social and economic instability, and policies that have the effect of decreasing the value of foreign securities. Foreign countries may be subject to different trading settlement practices, less government supervision, less publicly available information, limited trading markets and greater volatility than U.S. investments.
4. | 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.
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, 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 and options contracts, and adjustments for partnerships, perpetual bonds, debt modification, 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 the tax deferral of losses on straddles and tax adjustments for accrued dividend payable.
Late year losses incurred after December 31 within the fiscal year are deemed to arise on the first business day of the following fiscal year for tax purposes. The Funds incurred and elected to defer such late year losses as follows: Dunham Focused Large Cap Growth Fund incurred and elected to defer such late year losses of $1,235,014. Dunham Small Cap Growth Fund incurred and elected to defer such late year losses of $710,397.

During the fiscal year ended October 31, 2023, 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. Permanent book and tax differences, primarily attributable to the book/tax treatment of non-deductible expenses, net operating losses, distributions in excess, the use of tax equalization credits and adjustments for prior year tax returns resulted in reclassification for the tax year ended October 31, 2023, as follows:

10. | LINE OF CREDIT |
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 1%. Prior to 9/20/2023, interest on borrowings was payable on an annual basis at a rate of Prime less 0.50%. 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 was as follows:

The interest expense for all the Funds listed is included in interest expense on the statement of operations.
11. | SECURITIES LENDING |
The Funds have entered into a Securities Lending Agreement (“Agreement”) with the Bank. Each participating Fund can lend their securities to brokers, dealers and other financial institutions approved by the Board to earn additional income. Loans are collateralized at a value at least equal to 105% of the then current market value of any loaned security that are foreign, or 102% of the then current market value of any other loaned security. 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 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 those transactions are overnight and continuous. As of April 30, 2024 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.

Securities collateralized below 102% or 105% for foreign securities. The Trust’s securities lending policies and procedures require that the borrower: (i) deliver cash or U.S. Government securities as collateral with respect to each new loan of U.S. securities, equal to at least 102% or 105% of the value of the portfolio securities loaned, and (ii) at all times thereafter mark-to-market the collateral on a daily basis so that the market value of such collateral is at least 100% of the value of securities loaned. From time to time the collateral may not be 102% or 105% due to end of day market movement. The next business day, additional collateral is obtained/received from the borrower to replenish/reestablish 102% or 105%.

15(c) Board Considerations
December 18–19, 2023
I. | Background |
On December 18–19, 2023, the Board of Trustees (the “Board”) of Dunham Funds (the “Trust”), a Delaware business trust, met to consider, among other things, (i) the renewal of the Investment Advisory Agreement between the Trust and Dunham & Associates Investment Counsel, Inc. (the “Adviser”) and (ii) the renewal of the sub-advisory agreements with various sub-advisers for certain series (the “Funds”). The investment advisory agreement and the sub-advisory agreements collectively are referred to as the “Advisory Agreements.” The Funds and the relevant sub-advisers with sub-advisory agreements up for approval and/or renewal include:
Funds | Sub-Advisory Agreement |

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION (Unaudited)(Continued) |
April 30, 2024 |
counsel that reviewed their fiduciary duties pertaining to renewal of investment management and sub-advisory agreements and the factors they should consider in evaluating the Advisory Agreements.
Among other information, the Adviser and the sub-advisers provided information to assist the Independent Trustees in assessing the nature, extent and quality of services provided, information comparing the investment performance, advisory fees and operating expense ratio of each Fund to other funds, information about estimated profitability and/or financial condition and compliance and regulatory matters. The Board determined that, given the totality of the information provided with respect to each Advisory Agreement, the Board had received sufficient information to approve the Advisory Agreements.
The Independent Trustees and Fund counsel met in executive sessions to consider the renewal of the Advisory Agreements. The Board also received information about the Funds throughout the year in connection with the regular quarterly Board meetings from the Adviser and various Fund sub-advisers.
Based upon its review, the Board concluded that it was in the best interests of each Fund that the Advisory Agreements be renewed. In considering the renewal of the Advisory Agreements, the Board did not identify any single factor or group of factors as all-important or controlling, and considered a variety of factors in its analysis, including those discussed below. The Board did not allot a particular weight to any one factor or group of factors.
II. | Investment Advisory Agreement |
Nature, Extent and Quality of Services. In considering the renewal of the Investment Advisory Agreement with the Adviser, the Board considered the nature, extent and quality of services that the Adviser provided to the Funds, including the Adviser’s personnel and resources and the Adviser’s criteria for reviewing a sub-adviser’s performance. The Board reviewed the services the Adviser provided in serving as investment adviser, including the backgrounds of the personnel providing the investment management services and compliance staff. They also reviewed information provided regarding risk management, compliance and regulatory matters. The Board concluded that the services the Adviser provided were satisfactory.
Performance. The Board reviewed performance information the Adviser provided for Class N of each Fund compared to the performance of (a) funds in a peer group (the “Peer Group”) (which is a relevant sub-set of funds in a Fund’s Morningstar category), (b) a Morningstar category average and (c) a benchmark index for the one, five and ten year periods or since a Fund’s inception, as applicable, and for the period since commencement of a sub-adviser’s overseeing of a Fund, ended September 30, 2023. The Board considered that the Adviser had delegated day-to-day portfolio management of each Fund’s strategy to a sub-adviser and noted the ongoing oversight activities the Adviser performed, including review of returns on a relative and absolute basis, evaluation of brokerage execution quality and yearly compliance reviews. The Board concluded that the Adviser appropriately had reviewed and monitored each sub-adviser’s investment performance.
Advisory Fee. The Board reviewed each Fund’s advisory fee and expense ratio, taking into account the Fund’s average net assets, and reviewed information comparing the advisory fee and expense ratio to those of the Peer Group and a Morningstar category. The Board discussed that, while the advisory fees do not necessarily have to be the lowest compared to the Peer Groups, it is their duty to evaluate whether the advisory fees are reasonable. The Board noted that the Adviser’s fees
215
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION (Unaudited)(Continued) |
April 30, 2024 |
range from 0.50% to 0.65%, which, when combined with the sub-adviser fees, can be higher than the Peer Group averages when a Fund is performing well. The Board concluded that the Adviser’s fee ranges are applied reasonably based on the nature of a Fund (i.e., bond vs. equity, or alternative vs. traditional). The Board observed that currently five Funds are considered “alternative” and generally require enhanced oversight compared to more traditional asset classes. The Board discussed the level of work involved in the Adviser’s oversight of the Funds, the Adviser’s ongoing quantitative and qualitative analysis of each sub-adviser, and the other services that the Adviser provides to the Funds.
The Board also noted:
● | Dunham Corporate/Government Bond Fund: The Board noted that the advisory fee was higher than the average of the Peer Group and the Morningstar category; however, the overall expense ratio was in a reasonable range. |
● | Dunham Dynamic Macro Fund: The Board noted that the advisory fee was higher than the average of the Peer Group and the Morningstar category; however, the overall expense ratio was in a reasonable range. |

In light of the nature, quality and extent of services the Adviser provided, the Board concluded that each Fund’s advisory fee was reasonable.
Economies of Scale. The Board considered the extent to which economies of scale would be realized as each Fund grows and whether fee levels reflect a reasonable sharing of economies of scale for the benefit of Fund investors. The Board noted that breakpoints may be an appropriate way for the Adviser to share its economies of scale if a Fund experiences substantial asset growth; however, the Board recognized that no Fund had yet reached an asset level where the Adviser could realize significant economies of scale. The Board observed that economies of scale will be considered in the future as Fund asset levels grow.
Profitability. The Board also reviewed the estimated profitability of the Adviser with respect to each Fund. The Board concluded that the estimated profitability of the Adviser in connection with the management of each Fund was reasonable, and at a level to adequately incentivize the Adviser to continue to provide high quality services.
Fallout Benefits. Because of its relationship with the Funds, the Adviser and its affiliates may receive certain benefits. The Board reviewed materials provided by the Adviser as to any such benefits.
III. | Sub-Advisory Agreements |
Nature, Extent and Quality of Services. In considering the renewal of the sub-advisory agreement, as applicable, between each Fund and the Fund’s respective sub-adviser, the Board considered the nature, extent and quality of services the sub-adviser provided under the sub-advisory agreement. The Board reviewed the services the sub-adviser provided, the background of the investment professionals servicing the Fund, and the sub-adviser’s reputation, resources and investment approach. The Board also reviewed information provided regarding the structure of portfolio manager compensation, trading and brokerage practices, soft dollar usage, risk management and compliance matters.

The Board considered the base fee paid to each sub-adviser when the performance of a Fund is equal to that of a specific index plus or minus a “null” zone. The Board also reviewed the operation of the performance fee and the impact on fees and expenses based on various performance results. The Board recognized the unique nature of a performance fee, which results in higher fees when a

sub-adviser delivers positive results, and how performance fees should be integrated into their analysis. The Board noted information that the Adviser provided regarding the specific benchmark index used to compute each sub-adviser’s performance fee, how performance adjustments are calculated, and why each Fund’s N-share class (as the class with the most assets) is used for performance calculations.
The Board confirmed its belief that performance fees help ensure that any significant fee adjustments are attributable to a sub-adviser’s skill, rather than to random performance fluctuations, and the performance fee aligns a sub-adviser’s interest with those of Fund shareholders. The Board concluded that each sub-adviser’s fees were in a reasonable range.
The Board reviewed the relevance of economies of scale in the context of a sub-adviser that receives a performance-based fee. The Board agreed that the Adviser successfully had negotiated a favorable base fee with each sub-adviser, and that reductions based on asset growth, when coupled with the possibility of fee reductions based on performance, could hinder the Adviser’s ability to attract top sub-advisory talent. The Board agreed that pursuing breakpoints with any of the sub-advisers would not be in the best interests of Fund shareholders at this time.
Profitability and Fallout Benefits. The Board considered information provided regarding each sub-adviser’s estimated profitability from providing sub-advisory services to its respective Fund. The Board noted that the sub-advisory fee schedule was negotiated between the Adviser and each sub-adviser, an unaffiliated third party. The Board reviewed materials provided as to any additional benefits each sub-adviser receives.
IV. | All Agreements |
Conclusion. Based on all of the information considered and the conclusions reached, the Board determined that the terms of the Advisory Agreements for each Fund are fair and reasonable, and that the approval and/or continuation of the Advisory Agreements, as applicable, are in the best interests of each Fund.

Dunham Small Cap Value Fund
15(c) Board Considerations
March 13, 2024
I. | Background |
On March 13, 2024, 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 Boston Partners Global Investors, Inc. (“Boston Partners”) on behalf of the Dunham Small Cap Value Fund (the “Fund”). The Sub-Advisory Agreement would take effect on or about April 1, 2024.
In considering the Sub-Advisory Agreement, the Independent Trustees had requested and reviewed materials that Dunham & Associates Investment Counsel, Inc. (the “Adviser”) and Boston Partners 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 Boston Partners 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 Boston Partners, the Board considered the nature, extent and quality of services Boston Partners would provide under the Sub-Advisory Agreement. The Board reviewed the background of the investment professionals that would service the Fund, and Boston Partners’ 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 that Boston Partners was founded in 1995 as an investment firm, and that its predecessor firm was founded in 1970.
The Board concluded that the services that Boston Partners would provide should be satisfactory.
221
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION (Unaudited)(Continued) |
April 30, 2024 |
Performance. The Board considered the performance of other investment strategies managed by Boston Partners. The Board concluded that the services that Boston Partners 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 Boston Partners managed. The Board considered that the fee schedule was negotiated between the Adviser and Boston Partners, 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 Boston Partners 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 Boston Partners’ skill, rather than to random performance fluctuations, and the performance fee aligns Boston Partners’ interest with those of Fund shareholders.
The Board also noted the Fund will pay a “fulcrum fee” consisting of: a “base fee” of 45 basis points (“bps”) (0.45%) annually; and a “performance fee” at a rate that will vary by up to +/- 25 bps (0.25%). 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 Russell 2000® Value Index over the applicable measurement period. The Board concluded that Boston Partners’ 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 Boston Partners, 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 Boston Partners would not be in the best interests of Fund shareholders at this time.
Profitability and Fallout Benefits. The Board considered any information provided regarding Boston Partners’ 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 Boston Partners, an unaffiliated third party. The Board reviewed materials provided regarding any additional benefits that Boston Partners would receive.
Conclusion. Based on all 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.
