Financial Markets Highlights | | (Unaudited) September 30, 2021 |
· | | Non-Agency Residential Mortgage-Backed Securities (Non-Agency RMBS) |
For the six-month period ended September 30, 2021, non-Agency residential mortgage-backed securities (non-Agency RMBS) rallied as home price appreciation accelerated. Deal redemption volume slowed from previous months but still reached nearly $14.5 billion. The sector continued to benefit from solid fundamentals, as 70% to 85% of COVID-19-era-affected loans either prepaid or became current—partially attributable to forbearance assistance programs and rising home prices. Home prices hit their all-time year-over-year high of 19.9% in July, the most recent month for which data was available as measured by the S&P CoreLogic Case-Shiller 20-City Composite Home Price NSA Index. In September, Freddie Mac announced a tender offer for eight Structured Agency Credit Risk bonds of vintages between 2014 and 2017. The total amount to be purchased was $650 million of original face value, where the tender price would range from 50 cents to $1 higher than current market levels. The bonds chosen for the tender offer did not offer any capital relief to Freddie Mac. The tender offer was 2.5x oversubscribed, and Freddie Mac accepted the entire early tender.
· | | Non-Agency Commercial Mortgage-Backed Securities (Non-Agency CMBS) |
For the six-month period ended September 30, 2021, spreads of non-Agency commercial mortgage-backed securities (non-Agency CMBS) moved tighter alongside a broader economic reopening combined with improving credit fundamentals and a market awash with liquidity. While there were some bouts of spread volatility due to Delta variant concerns, the non-Agency CMBS market continued to improve. The period marked $79.0 billion in new issuance, compared to $20.3 billion in the same period a year ago. While issuance of conduit bonds comprised roughly 40% of 2019 issuance, it is expected to fall to around 30% in 2021, according to data compiled from several financial research firms, with single asset, single borrower issuance increasing to 44% from 39% in 2019 and commercial real estate collateralized loan obligation issuance increasing to 29% from 17%. For the six-month period, AAA last cash flows (LCFs) tightened by 4 basis points (bps) while BBB- LCFs tightened by 40 bps. While conduit BBB- paper initially widened in the third quarter on heavy supply, lower-quality new-issue conduit BBB- paper caused additional widening in September. The delinquency rate for commercial real estate loans peaked at 6.52% during the six-month period as a result of volatility associated with the pandemic, but the delinquency rate trended down to 5.25% at the end of September, as measured by financial data firm Trepp. The Barclays Capital U.S. CMBS (ERISA Only) Total Return Index returned 1.84% for the six-month period, underperforming the broader Bloomberg Barclays US Aggregate Bond Index’s 1.88%. The RCA Commercial Property Price Index increased 7.31% for the six-month period ended August 31, the most recent month for which data was available, compared to 5.78% over the previous six-month period.
· | | Collateralized Loan Obligations (CLOs) |
For the six-month period ended September 30, 2021, the collateralized loan obligation (CLO) market priced $90.5 billion in new issuance across 181 transactions. August delivered the highest total, with $19.2 billion pricing across 35 deals. After adding September’s volume, year-to-date primary issue totaled $130.2 billion, surpassing the annual issuance record of $128.9 billion set in 2018. Reset activity, when the debt on existing portfolios is repriced and deal reinvestment periods are extended, and refinance activity were also elevated, as 2020 vintage deals exited their one-year noncall periods, and spread levels remained favorable. Refi and reset activity contributed an additional $120.3 billion of deal volume over the six-month period. Secondary trading volumes were lower on average, much in part due to the primary pipeline’s unprecedented flow. CLO market-based metrics improved on the heels of the S&P/LSTA Leveraged Loan Price Index, which gained 1.10%. CLO fundamentals also strengthened, resulting in improvements to minimum overcollateralization cushions and reductions of collateral concentrations rated CCC. The last 12-month U.S. leveraged loan default rate by principal amount also declined, ending September at 0.35%, 280 basis points below its starting level. Spreads across the capital structure tightened modestly in the six-month period. The J.P. Morgan Collateralized Loan Obligation Total Return Level Index gained 1.16%.

Management’s Discussion of Fund Performance | | (Unaudited) September 30, 2021 |
DoubleLine Selective Credit Fund
For the six-month period ended September 30, 2021, the DoubleLine Selective Credit Fund (the “Fund”) outperformed the benchmark Bloomberg US Aggregate Bond Index, return of 1.88%. The Fund’s performance was driven by asset allocation, as the Fund maintained more credit exposure than the index and credit products performed well. The largest contributor to the Fund’s performance was non-Agency residential mortgage-backed securities, which benefited from solid fundamentals, as assistance programs and rising home prices enabled at least 70% of COVID-19-era-impacted loans to prepay or become current. Commercial mortgage-backed securities, asset-backed securities and collateralized loan obligations also contributed to the Fund’s performance. No sector detracted from performance.

For additional performance information, please refer to the “Standardized Performance Summary.”
Opinions expressed herein are as of September 30, 2021, and are subject to change at any time, are not guaranteed and should not be considered investment advice. This report is for the information of shareholders of the Fund. It may also be used as sales literature when preceded or accompanied by the current private placement memorandum.
The Fund’s investment objectives, risks, charges and expenses must be considered carefully before investing. You can obtain the Fund’s most recent regulatory filings by calling 1 (877) 354-6311/ 1 (877) DLINE11. You should read these reports and the Fund’s private placement memorandum carefully before investing.
The performance information shown assumes the reinvestment of all dividends and distributions. Investment performance reflects management fees and other fund expenses, including fee waivers in effect. In the absence of such waivers, total return would be reduced. Returns over 1 year are average annual returns. Performance data quoted represents past performance; past performance does not guarantee future results and does not reflect the deduction of any taxes a shareholder would pay on fund distributions or the sale of fund shares. The investment return and principal value of an investment will fluctuate so that an investor’s shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than the original cost. Current performance of the Fund may be lower or higher than the performance quoted. Performance data current to the most recent month-end may be obtained by calling 1 (877) DLINE 11 / 1 (877) 354-6311.
Fund holdings and sector allocations are subject to change at any time and are not recommendations to buy or sell any security. Please refer to the Schedule of Investments for a complete list of Fund holdings as of period end.
Since the Fund is currently offered only to a limited number of investors, as described in the private placement memorandum, the Fund’s assets may grow at a slower rate than if the Fund engaged in a broader public offering. As a result, the Fund may incur operating expenses as a percentage of net assets at a rate higher than mutual funds that are larger or more broadly offered. In addition, the Fund’s assets may not achieve a size sufficient to make the Fund economically viable. A liquidation of the Fund may result in a sale of assets of the Fund at an unfavorable time or at prices below those at which the Fund has valued them.
Diversification does not assure a profit or protect against loss in a declining market.
Investing involves risk. Principal loss is possible. Investments in debt securities typically decline in value when interest rates rise. This risk is usually greater for longer-term debt securities. Investments in lower rated and non-rated securities present a greater risk of loss to principal and interest than higher rated securities. Investments in Asset-Backed and Mortgage-Backed securities include additional risks that investors should be aware of including credit risk, prepayment risk, possible illiquidity and default, as well as increased susceptibility to adverse economic developments. Derivatives involve risks different from, and in certain cases, greater than the risks presented by more traditional investments. Derivatives may involve certain costs and risks such as liquidity, interest rate, market, credit, management and the risk that a position could not be closed when most advantageous. Investing in derivatives could lose more than the amount invested. Investment strategies may not achieve the desired results due to implementation lag, other timing factors, portfolio management decision-making, economic or market conditions or other unanticipated factors. In addition, the Fund may invest in other assets classes and investments. Additional principal risks for the Fund can be found in the private placement memorandum.
Credit ratings from Moody’s Investor Services, Inc. (“Moody’s”) range from the highest rating of Aaa for bonds of the highest quality that offer the lowest degree of investment risk to the lowest rating of C for the lowest rated class of bonds. Credit ratings from S&P Global Ratings (“S&P”) range from the highest rating of AAA for bonds of the highest quality that offer the lowest degree of investment risk to the lowest rating of D for bonds that are in default. In limited situations when the rating agency has not issued a formal rating, the rating agency will classify the security as nonrated. Credit ratings are determined from the highest available credit rating from any Nationally Recognized Statistical Rating Organization (“NRSRO”, generally S&P, Moody’s and Fitch Ratings, Inc.). DoubleLine chooses to display credit ratings using S&P’s rating convention, although the rating itself might be sourced from another NRSRO.
Barclays Capital U.S. CMBS (ERISA Only) Total Return Index—This index measures on a total return basis the performance of investment grade commercial mortgage-backed securities (CMBS).

Basis Points (BPS)—Basis points (or basis point (bp)) refer to a common unit of measure for interest rates and other percentages in finance. One basis point is equal to 1/100th of 1%, or 0.01% or 0.0001, and is used to denote the percentage change in a financial instrument. The relationship between percentage changes and basis points can be summarized as: 1% change = 100 basis points; 0.01% = 1 basis point.

Currently under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”), a diversified fund generally may not, with respect to 75% of its total assets, invest more than 5% of its total assets in the securities of any one issuer or own more than 10% of the outstanding voting securities of such issuer (except, in each case, U.S. Government securities, cash, cash items and the securities of other investment companies). The remaining 25% of a fund’s total assets is not subject to this limitation. Shares of the Fund may currently be purchased in transactions by the Adviser or its affiliates acting in their capacity as investment adviser (or in a similar capacity) for clients, including separately managed private accounts, investment companies registered under the 1940 Act, and other funds, each of which must be an “accredited investor” as defined in Regulation D under the Securities Act. The Fund also may permit purchases of shares by (i) qualified employees, officers and Trustees of the Fund and their qualified family members; (ii) qualified employees and officers of the Adviser or DoubleLine Group LP and their qualified family members; (iii) qualified affiliates of the Adviser or DoubleLine Group LP; and (iv) other qualified accounts. The Fund’s investment objective is to seek long-term total return.
The fiscal year end for the Fund is March 31, and the period covered by these Financial Statements is the six months ended September 30, 2021 (the “period end”).
2. Significant Accounting Policies
The Fund is an investment company that applies the accounting and reporting guidance issued in Topic 946, “Financial Services— Investment Companies”, by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”). The following is a summary of the significant accounting policies of the Fund. These policies are in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“US GAAP”).
A. Security Valuation. The Fund has adopted US GAAP fair value accounting standards which establish a definition of fair value and set out a hierarchy for measuring fair value. These standards require additional disclosures about the various inputs and valuation techniques used to develop the measurements of fair value and a discussion of changes in valuation techniques and related inputs during the period. These inputs are summarized in the three broad levels listed below:
| • | | Level 1—Unadjusted quoted market prices in active markets for identical securities |
| • | | Level 2—Quoted prices for identical or similar assets in markets that are not active, or inputs derived from observable market data |
| • | | Level 3—Significant unobservable inputs (including the reporting entity’s estimates and assumptions) |
Market values for domestic and foreign fixed income securities are normally determined on the basis of valuations provided by independent pricing services. Vendors typically value such securities based on one or more inputs described in the following table which is not intended to be a complete list. The table provides examples of inputs that are commonly relevant for valuing particular classes of fixed income securities in which the Fund is authorized to invest. However, these classifications are not exclusive, and any of the inputs may be used to value any other class of fixed-income securities. Securities that use similar valuation techniques and inputs as described in the following table are categorized as Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy. To the extent the significant inputs are unobservable, the values generally would be categorized as Level 3. Assets and liabilities may be transferred between levels.
| | | | | | |
| | |
Fixed-income class | | | | | Examples of Inputs |
| | |
All | | | | | | Benchmark yields, transactions, bids, offers, quotations from dealers and trading systems, new issues, spreads and other relationships observed in the markets among comparable securities; and proprietary pricing models such as yield measures calculated using factors such as cash flows, financial or collateral performance and other reference data (collectively referred to as “standard inputs”) |
| | |
Corporate bonds and notes; convertible securities | | | | | | Standard inputs and underlying equity of the issuer |
| | |
US bonds and notes of government and government agencies | | | | | | Standard inputs |
| | |
Residential and commercial mortgage-backed obligations; asset-backed obligations (including collateralized loan obligations) | | | | | | Standard inputs and cash flows, prepayment information, default rates, delinquency and loss assumptions, collateral characteristics, credit enhancements and specific deal information, trustee reports |
| | | | | | | | | | |
18 | | DoubleLine Selective Credit Fund | | | | | | | | |
| | |
| | (Unaudited) September 30, 2021 |
Investments in registered open-end management investment companies will be valued based upon the net asset value (“NAV”) of such investments and are categorized as Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy.
Securities may be fair valued by the Adviser in accordance with the fair valuation procedures approved by the Board of Trustees (the “Board”). The Adviser’s valuation committee is generally responsible for overseeing the day to day valuation processes and reports periodically to the Board. The Adviser’s valuation committee and the pricing group are authorized to make all necessary determinations of the fair values of portfolio securities and other assets for which market quotations or third party vendor prices are not readily available or if it is deemed that the prices obtained from brokers and dealers or independent pricing services are deemed to be unreliable indicators of market or fair value.
The following is a summary of the fair valuations according to the inputs used to value the Fund’s investments as of September 30, 2021:

B. Federal Income Taxes. The Fund has elected to be taxed as a “regulated investment company” and intends to distribute substantially all of its taxable income to its shareholders and otherwise comply with the provisions of Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code applicable to regulated investment companies. Therefore, no provision for federal income taxes has been made.
The Fund may be subject to a nondeductible 4% excise tax calculated as a percentage of certain undistributed amounts of net investment income and net capital gains.
The Fund is considered a personal holding company as defined under Section 542 of the Internal Revenue Code because 50% of the value of the Fund’s shares were owned directly or indirectly by five or fewer individuals at certain times during the last half of the year. For this purpose, the term “individual” includes pension trusts, private foundations and certain other tax-exempt trusts. As a personal holding company, the Fund is subject to federal income taxes on undistributed personal holding company income at the maximum individual income tax rate. Generally, provisions for income taxes are not included in the financial statements as the Fund intends to distribute to shareholders all taxable investment income and realized gains and otherwise comply with Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code applicable to regulated investment companies.
The Fund has adopted financial reporting rules that require the Fund to analyze all open tax years, as defined by the applicable statute of limitations, for all major jurisdictions. Open tax years 2018-2020 (Federal) and 2017-2020 (CA) for the Fund, are those that are open for exam by taxing authorities. As of September 30, 2021, the Fund has no examination in progress.
Management has analyzed the Fund’s tax position, and has concluded that no liability should be recorded related to uncertain tax positions expected to be taken on the tax return for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2021. The Fund identifies its major tax jurisdiction as U.S. Federal, the State of Delaware and the State of California. The Fund is not aware of any tax position for which it is reasonably possible that the total amount of unrecognized tax benefits will significantly change in the next twelve months. The Fund’s tax returns are subject to examination by relevant tax authorities until expiration of the applicable statute of limitations, which is generally three years after the filing of the tax return but which can be extended to six years in certain circumstances.

Notes to Financial Statements (Cont.) | | |
C. Security Transactions, Investment Income. Investment securities transactions are accounted for on trade date. Gains and losses realized on sales of securities are determined on a specific identification basis. Interest income, including non-cash interest, is recorded on an accrual basis. Discounts/premiums on debt securities purchased, which may include residual and subordinate notes, are accreted/amortized over the life of the respective securities using the effective interest method except for certain deep discount bonds where management does not expect the par value above the bond’s cost to be fully realized. Dividend income and corporate action transactions, if any, are recorded on the ex-date. Non-cash dividends included in dividend income, if any, are recorded at the fair market value of securities received. Paydown gains and losses on mortgage-related and other asset-backed securities are recorded as components of interest income on the Statement of Operations.
D. Dividends and Distributions to Shareholders. Dividends from net investment income will be declared and paid monthly. The Fund will distribute any net realized long or short-term capital gains at least annually. Distributions are recorded on the ex-dividend date.
Income and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance with income tax regulations which may differ from US GAAP. Permanent book and tax basis differences relating to shareholder distributions will result in reclassifications between paid-in capital, undistributed (accumulated) net investment income (loss), and/or undistributed (accumulated) realized gain (loss). Undistributed (accumulated) net investment income or loss may include temporary book and tax basis differences which will reverse in a subsequent period. Any taxable income or capital gain remaining at fiscal year end is distributed in the following year.
Distributions from investment companies will be classified as investment income or realized gains in the Statement of Operations based on the U.S. income tax characteristics of the distribution if such information is available. In cases where the tax characteristics are not available, such distributions are generally classified as investment income.
E. Use of Estimates. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with US 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, as well as the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
F. Share Valuation. The NAV per share of the Fund is calculated by dividing the sum of the value of the securities held by the Fund, plus cash and other assets, minus all liabilities (including estimated accrued expenses), by the total number of shares outstanding, rounded to the nearest cent. The Fund’s NAV is typically calculated on days when the New York Stock Exchange opens for regular trading.
G. Guarantees and Indemnifications. Under the Fund’s organizational documents, each Trustee and officer of the Fund is indemnified, to the extent permitted by the 1940 Act, against certain liabilities that may arise out of performance of their duties to the Fund. Additionally, in the normal course of business, the Fund enters into contracts that contain a variety of indemnification clauses. The 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, the Fund has not had prior claims or losses pursuant to these contracts.
3. Related and Other Party Transactions
The Adviser provides the Fund with investment management services under an Investment Management Agreement (the “Agreement”). Under the Agreement, the Adviser manages the investment of the assets of the Fund, places orders for the purchase and sale of its portfolio securities and is responsible for providing certain resources to assist with the day-to-day management of the Fund’s business affairs. As compensation for its services, the Adviser is entitled to a monthly fee at the annual rate of 0.55% of the average daily net assets of the Fund. The Adviser has arrangements with DoubleLine Group LP to provide personnel and other resources to the Fund.
Pursuant to a letter agreement dated November 20, 2014 between the Adviser and the Trust, on behalf of the Fund (the “Letter Agreement”), the Adviser has agreed to waive the entire investment advisory fee it is entitled to receive pursuant to the Advisory Agreement effective as of December 1, 2014. Such waiver shall continue until terminated (1) by the Adviser upon 60 days’ notice to the Board or (2) immediately upon the approval of a majority vote of the Trustees of the Trust who are not “interested persons” of the Trust, as defined under the 1940 Act. The Adviser may not seek reimbursement from the Fund with respect to any advisory fees waived to comply with the terms of the Letter Agreement. Under the Letter Agreement, for the period ended September 30, 2021, the Adviser fully waived the total investment advisory fee of $2,709,801.

In addition, pursuant to an Expense Limitation Agreement between Trust, on behalf of the Fund, and the Adviser (the “Expense Limitation Agreement”), the Adviser has agreed to waive its investment advisory fee and to reimburse other ordinary operating expenses of the Fund to the extent necessary to limit the ordinary operating expenses to an amount not to exceed 0.64% for Class I shares. Ordinary operating expenses exclude taxes, commissions, mark-ups, litigation expenses, indemnification expenses, interest expenses, Acquired Fund Fees and Expenses, and any extraordinary expenses. The expense limitations described above are expected to apply until at least July 31, 2022. However, these expense limitations may be terminated by the Fund’s Board at any time.
Other than described above, to the extent that the Adviser waives its investment advisory fee and/or reimburses the Fund for other ordinary operating expenses pursuant to the Expense Limitation Agreement, it may seek reimbursement of a portion or all of such amounts at any time within three fiscal years after the fiscal year in which such amounts were waived or reimbursed. The Fund must pay its current ordinary operating expenses before the Adviser is entitled to any recoupment. Any such recoupment would be subject to review by the Board and to the Fund’s expense limitations in place when the expenses were reimbursed or the fees were waived.
As of September 30, 2021, there is no amount remaining that is eligible for reimbursement or recoupment.
4. Purchases and Sales of Securities
For period ended September 30, 2021, purchases and sales of investments, excluding short term investments, were $213,021,918 and $169,466,755, respectively. There were no transactions in U.S. Government securities (defined as long-term U.S. Treasury bills, bonds and notes) during the period.
5. Income Tax Information and Distributions to Shareholders
The tax character of distributions for the Fund was as follows:

As of March 31, 2021, the Fund had $62,989,847 available for a capital loss carryforward. As of March 31, 2021, the Fund did not have any late year losses or post-October losses.
Additionally, US GAAP requires that certain components of net assets relating to permanent differences be reclassified between financial and tax reporting. These reclassifications have no effect on net assets or NAV per share. The permanent differences primarily relate to paydown losses. For the year ended March 31, 2021, the following table shows the reclassifications made:

If the Fund estimates that a portion of its regular distributions to shareholders may be comprised of amounts from sources other than net investment income, as determined in accordance with the Fund’s policies and practices, the Fund will notify shareholders of the estimated composition of such distribution through a Section 19 Notice. For these purposes, the Fund estimates the source or sources from which a distribution is paid, to the close of the period as of which it is paid, in reference to its expected tax character. It is important to note that differences exist between the Fund’s daily internal accounting records and practices, the Fund’s financial statements presented in accordance with US GAAP, and recordkeeping practices under income tax regulations. It is possible that the Fund may not issue a Section 19 Notice in situations where the Fund’s financial statements prepared later and in accordance with US GAAP might later report that the sources of those distributions included capital gains and/or a return of capital. Please visit www.doublelinefunds.com for the most recent Section 19 Notice, if applicable. Information provided to you on a Section 19 notice is an estimate only and subject to change; final determination of a distribution’s tax character will be reported on Form 1099 DIV sent to shareholders for the calendar year.

7. Trustees Fees
Trustees who are not affiliated with the Adviser and its affiliates received, as a group, fees of $7,420 from the Fund for the period ended September 30, 2021. These trustees may elect to defer the cash payment of part or all of their compensation. These deferred amounts, which remain as liabilities of the Fund, are treated as if invested in shares of the Fund or other funds managed by the Adviser and its affiliates. These amounts represent general, unsecured liabilities of the Fund and vary according to the total returns of the selected funds. Trustees Fees in the Statement of Operations are shown as $7,420 which includes $4,663 in current fees (either paid in cash or deferred) and an increase of $2,757 in the value of the deferred amounts. Certain trustees and officers of the Fund are also officers of the Adviser; such trustees and officers are not compensated by the Fund.
8. Credit Facility
U.S. Bank, N.A. (the “Bank”) has made available to the Trust (the “DoubleLine Funds”) an uncommitted, $725,000,000 credit facility for short term liquidity in connection with shareholder redemptions. Under the terms of the credit facility, borrowings for each DoubleLine Fund are limited to one-third of the total assets (including the amount borrowed) of such DoubleLine Fund. Fifty percent of the credit facility is available to all of the DoubleLine Funds on a first come, first served basis. The remaining 50% of the credit facility is allocated among the DoubleLine Funds in accordance with procedures adopted by the Board. Effective March 15, 2021, borrowings under this credit facility bear interest at the greater of 0.00% or the Bank’s prime rate less 1.00%. Prior to March 15, 2021, borrowings under this credit facility bore interest at the Bank’s prime rate less 0.50%.
For the period ended September 30, 2021, the Fund did not draw on its available credit facility.
9. Significant Shareholder Holdings
As of September 30, 2021, the Fund had 11 shareholders of record; four of the Fund’s shareholders, two of which were under common control with each other, collectively owned 46% of the total outstanding shares of the Fund. Each shareholder is an institutional separate account over which the Adviser has investment discretion. See the description of Large Shareholder Risk in the following Principal Risks Note.

10. Principal Risks
Below are summaries of some, but not all, of the principal risks of investing in the Fund, each of which could adversely affect the Fund’s NAV, yield and total return. You should read the Fund’s private placement memorandum carefully for a description of the principal risks associated with investing in the Fund.
| • | | active management risk: the risk that the Fund will fail to meet its investment objective and that the Fund’s investment performance will depend, at least in part, on how its assets are allocated and reallocated among asset classes, sectors, underlying funds and/or investments and that such allocation will focus on asset classes, sectors, underlying funds, and/or investments that perform poorly or underperform other asset classes, sectors, underlying funds, and/or available investments. Any given investment strategy may fail to produce the intended results, and the Fund’s portfolio may underperform other comparable funds because of portfolio management decisions related to, among other things, the selection of investments, portfolio construction, risk assessments, and/or the outlook on market trends and opportunities. |
| • | | asset-backed securities investment risk: the risk that borrowers may default on the obligations that underlie the asset- backed security and that, during periods of falling interest rates, asset backed securities may be called or prepaid, which may result in the Fund having to reinvest proceeds in other investments at a lower interest rate, and the risk that the impairment of the value of the collateral underlying a security in which the Fund invests (due, for example, to non-payment of loans) will result in a reduction in the value of the security. |
| • | | cash position risk: the risk that to the extent that the Fund holds assets in cash, cash equivalents, and other short-term investments, the ability of the Fund to meet its objective may be limited. |
| • | | collateralized debt obligations risk: the risks of an investment in a collateralized debt obligation (“CDO”) depend largely on the quality and type of the collateral and the tranche of the CDO in which the Fund invests. Normally, collateralized bond obligations (“CBOs”), collateralized loan obligations (“CLO”) and other CDOs are privately offered and sold, and thus are not registered under the securities laws. As a result, investments in CDOs may be illiquid. In addition to the risks associated with debt instruments (e.g., interest rate risk and credit risk), CDOs carry additional risks including, but not limited to: (i) the possibility that distributions from the collateral will not be adequate to make interest or other payments; (ii) the quality of the collateral may decline in value or default; (iii) the possibility that the Fund may invest in CDOs that are subordinate to other classes of the issuer’s securities; and (iv) the complex structure of the security may not be fully understood at the time of investment and may produce disputes with the issuer or unexpected investment results. |
| • | | counterparty risk: the risk that the Fund will be subject to credit risk with respect to the counterparties to the derivative contracts and other instruments, such as repurchase and reverse repurchase agreements, entered into by the Fund or held by special purpose or structured vehicles in which the Fund invests; that the Fund’s counterparty will be unable or unwilling to perform its obligations; that the Fund will be unable to enforce contractual remedies if its counterparty defaults; that if a counterparty becomes bankrupt, the Fund may experience significant delays in obtaining any recovery under the derivative contract or may obtain limited or no recovery in a bankruptcy or other insolvency proceeding. Subject to certain U.S. federal income tax limitations, the Fund is not subject to any limit with respect to the number or the value of transactions it can enter into with a single counterparty. To the extent that the Fund enters into multiple transactions with a single or a small set of counterparties, it will be subject to increased counterparty risk. |
| ° | | credit risk: the risk that an issuer or counterparty will fail to pay its obligations to the Fund when they are due. As a result, the Fund’s income might be reduced, the value of the Fund’s investment might fall, and/or the Fund could lose the entire amount of its investment. Changes in the financial condition of an issuer or counterparty, changes in specific economic, social or political conditions that affect a particular type of security or other instrument or an issuer, and changes in economic, social or political conditions generally can increase the risk of default by an issuer or counterparty, which can affect a security’s or other instrument’s credit quality or value and an issuer’s or counterparty’s ability to pay interest and principal when due. The values of lower quality debt securities (commonly known as “junk bonds”), including floating rate loans, tend to be particularly sensitive to these changes. The values of securities also may decline for a number of other reasons that relate directly to the issuer, such as management performance, financial leverage and reduced demand for the issuer’s goods and services, as well as the historical and prospective earnings of the issuer and the value of its assets. |
| ° | | extension risk: the risk that if interest rates rise, repayments of principal on certain debt securities, including, but not limited to, floating rate loans and mortgage-related securities, may occur at a slower rate than expected and the expected maturity of those securities could lengthen as a result. Securities that are subject to extension risk generally have a greater potential for loss when prevailing interest rates rise, which could cause their values to fall sharply. |

| | | | Semi-Annual Report | | | | | September 30, 2021 | | 23 |
| | |
Notes to Financial Statements (Cont.) | | |
| ° | | interest rate risk: the risk that debt instruments will change in value because of changes in interest rates. The value of an instrument with a longer duration (whether positive or negative) will be more sensitive to changes in interest rates than a similar instrument with a shorter duration. |
| ° | | prepayment risk: the risk that the issuer of a debt security, including floating rate loans and mortgage-related securities, repays all or a portion of the principal prior to the security’s maturity. In times of declining interest rates, there is a greater likelihood that the Fund’s higher yielding securities will be pre-paid with the Fund being unable to reinvest the proceeds in an investment with as great a yield. Prepayments can therefore result in lower yields to shareholders of the Fund. |
| ° | | LIBOR risk: the London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) is the offered rate for wholesale, unsecured funding available to major international banks. The terms of many investments, financings or other transactions to which the Fund may be a party have been historically tied to LIBOR. LIBOR may also be a significant factor in determining payment obligations under a derivative investment and may be used in other ways that affect the Fund’s investment performance. Plans are underway to phase out the use of LIBOR. The transition from LIBOR and the terms of any replacement rate(s) may adversely affect transactions that use LIBOR as a reference rate, financial institutions that engage in such transactions, and the financial markets generally. As such, the transition away from LIBOR may adversely affect the Fund’s performance. |
| • | | defaulted securities risk: the significant risk of the uncertainty of repayment of defaulted securities (e.g., a security on which a principal or interest payment is not made when due) and obligations of distressed issuers. |
| • | | derivatives risk: the risk that an investment in derivatives will not perform as anticipated by the Adviser, may not be available at the time or price desired, cannot be closed out at a favorable time or price, will increase the Fund’s transaction costs, or will increase the Fund’s volatility; that derivatives may create investment leverage; that, when a derivative is used as a substitute for or alternative to a direct cash investment, the transaction may not provide a return that corresponds precisely or at all with that of the cash investment; that the positions may be improperly executed or constructed; that the Fund’s counterparty will be unable or unwilling to perform its obligations; or that, when used for hedging purposes, derivatives will not provide the anticipated protection, causing the Fund to lose money on both the derivatives transaction and the exposure the Fund sought to hedge. In October 2020, the Securities and Exchange Commission adopted new regulations governing the use of derivatives (“Rule 18f-4”), which will impose limits on the amount of derivatives the Fund can enter into and will treat derivatives, as well as certain debt securities, as senior securities. The Fund’s ability to use derivative instruments and other senior securities, including any credit facilities available to it, and to invest and operate as it has historically, may be adversely affected as a result of new Rule 18f-4 under the 1940 Act once compliance is required in the middle of 2022. |
| • | | focused investment risk: the risk that a fund that invests a substantial portion of its assets in a particular market, industry, sector, group of industries or sectors, country, region, group of countries or asset class is, relative to a fund that invests in a more diverse investment portfolio, more susceptible to any single economic, market, political, regulatory or other occurrence. This is because, for example, issuers in a particular market, industry, region, sector or asset class may react similarly to specific economic, market, regulatory, political or other developments. The particular markets, industries, regions, sectors or asset classes in which the Fund may focus its investments may change over time and the Fund may alter its focus at inopportune times. |
| • | | foreign currency risk: the risk that fluctuations in exchange rates may adversely affect the value of the Fund’s investments denominated in foreign currencies. |
| • | | foreign investing risk: the risk that investments in foreign securities or in issuers with significant exposure to foreign markets, as compared to investments in U.S. securities or in issuers with predominantly domestic market exposure, may be more vulnerable to economic, political, and social instability and subject to less government supervision, less protective custody practices, lack of transparency, inadequate regulatory and accounting standards, delayed or infrequent settlement of transactions, and foreign taxes. If the Fund buys securities denominated in a foreign currency, receives income in foreign currencies, or holds foreign currencies from time to time, the value of the Fund’s assets, as measured in U.S. dollars, can be affected unfavorably by changes in exchange rates relative to the U.S. dollar or other foreign currencies. Foreign markets are also subject to the risk that a foreign government could restrict foreign exchange transactions or otherwise implement unfavorable currency regulations. In addition, foreign securities may be subject to currency exchange rates or regulations, the imposition of economic sanctions or other government restrictions, higher transaction and other costs, reduced liquidity, and delays in settlement. |

| | (Unaudited) September 30, 2021 |
| • | | fund level tax risk: the risk that the Fund while considered a personal holding company for federal income tax purposes will incur a Fund-level income tax and an additional personal holding company tax of 20% on all the investment income and gains of the Fund not timely distributed to shareholders. |
| • | | high yield risk: the risk that debt instruments rated below investment grade or debt instruments that are unrated and of comparable or lesser quality are predominantly speculative. These instruments, commonly known as ‘junk bonds’, have a higher degree of default risk and may be less liquid than higher-rated bonds. These instruments may be subject to greater price volatility due to such factors as specific corporate developments, interest rate sensitivity, negative perceptions of high yield investments generally, and less secondary market liquidity. |
| • | | large shareholder risk: the risk that certain account holders, including the Adviser or funds or accounts over which the Adviser (or related parties of the Adviser) has investment discretion, may from time to time own or control a significant percentage of the Fund’s shares. The Fund is subject to the risk that a redemption by those shareholders of all or a portion of their Fund shares, including as a result of an asset allocation decision made by the Adviser (or related parties of the Adviser), will adversely affect the Fund’s performance if it is forced to sell portfolio securities or invest cash when the Adviser would not otherwise choose to do so. Redemptions of a large number of shares may affect the liquidity of the Fund’s portfolio, increase the Fund’s transaction costs, and accelerate the realization of taxable income and/or gains to shareholders. |
| • | | leveraging risk: the risk that certain investments by the Fund involving leverage may have the effect of increasing the volatility of the value of the Fund’s portfolio, and the risk of loss in excess of invested capital. |
| • | | limited offering risk: the risk that since the Fund is currently offered only to a limited number of investors, the Fund’s assets may grow at a slower rate than if the Fund engaged in a broader public offering. As a result, the Fund may incur operating expenses at a rate higher than mutual funds that are larger or more broadly offered. In addition, the Fund’s assets may not achieve a size sufficient to make the Fund economically viable. Any liquidation of the Fund may result in a sale of assets of the Fund at an unfavorable time or at prices below those at which the Fund has valued them. |
| • | | liquidity risk: the risk that the Fund may be unable to sell a portfolio investment at a desirable time or at the value the Fund has placed on the investment. |
| • | | market risk: the risk that markets will perform poorly or that the returns from the securities in which the Fund invests will underperform returns from the general securities markets or other types of investments. Markets may, in response to governmental actions or intervention, political, economic or market developments, or other external factors, experience periods of high volatility and reduced liquidity. During those periods, the Fund may experience high levels of shareholder redemptions, and may have to sell securities at times when the Fund would otherwise not do so, and potentially at unfavorable prices. Certain securities may be difficult to value during such periods. Market risk involves the risk that the value of the Fund’s investment portfolio will change, potentially frequently and in large amounts, as the prices of its investments go up or down. During periods of severe market stress, it is possible that the market for some or all of a Fund’s investments may become highly illiquid. These risks may be heightened for fixed income securities due to the current low interest rate environment. |
| • | | mortgage-backed securities risk: the risk that borrowers may default on their mortgage obligations or the guarantees underlying the mortgage-backed securities will default or otherwise fail and that, during periods of falling interest rates, mortgage-backed securities will be called or prepaid, which may result in the Fund having to reinvest proceeds in other investments at a lower interest rate. During periods of rising interest rates, the average life of a mortgage-backed security may extend, which may lock in a below-market interest rate, increase the security’s duration, and reduce the value of the security. Enforcing rights against the underlying assets or collateral may be difficult, or the underlying assets or collateral may be insufficient if the issuer defaults. The values of certain types of mortgage-backed securities, such as inverse floaters and interest-only and principal-only securities, may be extremely sensitive to changes in interest rates and prepayment rates. The Fund may invest in mortgage-backed securities that are subordinate in their right to receive payment of interest and re-payment of principal to other classes of the issuer’s securities. |
| • | | operational and information security risks: an investment in the Fund, like any fund, can involve operational risks arising from factors such as processing errors, human errors, inadequate or failed internal or external processes, failures in systems and technology, changes in personnel and errors caused by third-party service providers. The occurrence of any of these failures, errors or breaches could result in investment losses to the Fund, a loss of information, regulatory scrutiny, reputational damage or other events, any of which could have a material adverse effect on the Fund. While the Fund seeks to minimize such events through controls and oversight, there may still be failures that could cause losses to the Fund. |
| • | | portfolio turnover risk: the risk that frequent purchases and sales of portfolio securities may result in higher Fund expenses and may result in larger distributions of taxable capital gains to investors as compared to a fund that trades less frequently. |

Notes to Financial Statements (Cont.) | | |
| • | | reliance on the adviser: the risk associated with the Fund’s ability to achieve its investment objective being dependent upon the Adviser’s ability to identify profitable investment opportunities for the Fund. While the portfolio managers of the Fund may have considerable experience in managing other portfolios with investment objectives, policies and strategies that are similar, the past experience of the portfolio managers, including with other strategies and funds, does not guarantee future results for the Fund. |
| • | | restricted securities risk: the risk that the Fund may be prevented or limited by law or the terms of an agreement from selling a security (a “restricted security”). To the extent that the Fund is permitted to sell a restricted security, there can be no assurance that a trading market will exist at any particular time and the Fund may be unable to dispose of the security promptly at reasonable prices or at all. The Fund may have to bear the expense of registering the securities for resale and the risk of substantial delays in effecting the registration. Also, restricted securities may be difficult to value because market quotations may not be readily available, and the values of restricted securities may have significant volatility. |
| • | | securities or sector selection risk: the risk that the securities held by the Fund will underperform securities held in other funds investing in similar asset classes or comparable benchmarks because of the portfolio managers’ choice of securities or sectors for investment. To the extent the Fund focuses or concentrates its investments in a particular sector or related sectors, the Fund will be more susceptible to events or factors affecting companies in that sector or related sectors. |
| • | | structured products and structured notes risk: the risk that an investment in a structured product, which includes, among other things, CDOs, mortgage-backed securities, other types of asset-backed securities and certain types of structured notes, may decline in value due to changes in the underlying instruments, indexes, interest rates or other factors on which the product is based (“reference measure”). Depending on the reference measure used and the use of multipliers or deflators (if any), changes in interest rates and movement of the reference measure may cause significant price and cash flow fluctuations. In addition to the general risks associated with fixed income securities discussed herein, structured products carry additional risks including, but not limited to: (i) the possibility that distributions from underlying investments will not be adequate to make interest or other payments; (ii) the quality of the underlying investments may decline in value or default; (iii) the possibility that the security may be subordinate to other classes of the issuer’s securities; (iv) the complex structure of the security may not be fully understood at the time of investment and may produce disputes with the issuer or unexpected investment results; and (v) because the structured products are generally privately offered and sold, they may be thinly traded or have a limited trading market, which may increase the Fund’s illiquidity and reduce the Fund’s income and the value of the investment, and the Fund may be unable to find qualified buyers for these securities. |
| • | | valuation risk: the risk that the Fund will not value its investments in a manner that accurately reflects their market values or that the Fund will not be able to sell any investment at a price equal to the valuation ascribed to that investment for purposes of calculating the Fund’s NAV. The valuation of the Fund’s investments involves subjective judgment. Certain securities in which the Fund may invest may be more difficult to value accurately, especially during periods of market disruptions or extreme market volatility. Incorrect valuations of the Fund’s portfolio holdings could result in the Fund’s shareholder transactions being effected at an NAV that does not accurately reflect the underlying value of the Fund’s portfolio, resulting in the dilution of shareholder interests. |
11. Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
In March 2020, FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2020-04, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848)—Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting. The amendments in ASU 2020-04 provide optional temporary financial reporting relief from the effect of certain types of contract modifications due to the planned discontinuation of LIBOR and other interbank-offered based reference rates as of the end of 2021. The phase out of a majority of the U.S. dollar LIBOR publications is expected to occur some time in 2023, with the remainder of LIBOR publications expected to end at the end of 2021. It is possible that a subset of LIBOR settings will be published after these dates, though there can be no assurance any such publications would be considered representative of the underlying market. ASU 2020-04 is effective for certain reference rate-related contract modifications that occur during the period March 12, 2020 through December 31, 2022. Management is currently evaluating the impact, if any, of applying this ASU.
In October 2020, the SEC adopted new regulations governing the use of derivatives by registered investment companies (“Rule 18f-4”). Rule 18f-4 will impose limits on the amount of derivatives the Fund can enter into, eliminate the asset segregation framework currently used by funds to comply with Section 18 of the 1940 Act, and require funds whose use of derivatives is greater than a limited specified amount to establish and maintain a comprehensive derivatives risk management program and appoint a derivatives risk manager. Funds will be required to comply with Rule 18f-4 by August 19, 2022. It is not currently clear what impact, if any, Rule 18f-4 will have on the availability, liquidity or performance of derivatives. Management is currently evaluating the potential impact of Rule 18f-4 on the Fund. When fully implemented, Rule 18f-4 may require changes in how a Fund uses derivatives, adversely affect the Fund’s performance and increase costs related to the Fund’s use of derivatives.

| | |
| | (Unaudited) September 30, 2021 |
In October 2020, the SEC adopted new Rule 12d1-4 under the 1940 Act and other regulatory changes which are expected to be effective on or about January 19, 2022. Those changes are intended to streamline and enhance the regulatory framework for investments by one fund into another fund or ‘fund-of-funds arrangements.’ These regulatory changes may limit the Fund’s ability to pursue its principal investment strategies by investing in other investment companies or pooled investment vehicles or to invest in those investment companies or pooled investment vehicles it believes are most desirable. Management is currently assessing the potential impact of the new rule on the Funds’ financial statements.
In December 2020, the SEC adopted a new rule providing a framework for fund valuation practices (“Rule 2a-5”). Rule 2a-5 establishes requirements for determining fair value in good faith for purposes of the 1940 Act. Rule 2a-5 will permit fund boards to designate certain parties to perform fair value determinations, subject to board oversight and certain other conditions. Rule 2a-5 also defines when market quotations are “readily available” for purposes of the 1940 Act and the threshold for determining whether a fund must fair value a security. In connection with Rule 2a-5, the SEC also adopted related recordkeeping requirements and is rescinding previously issued guidance, including with respect to the role of a board in determining fair value and the accounting and auditing of fund investments. The Funds will be required to comply with the rules by September 8, 2022. Management is currently assessing the potential impact of the new rules on the Funds’ financial statements.
12. Subsequent Events
In preparing these financial statements, the Fund has evaluated events and transactions for potential recognition or disclosure through the date the financial statements were issued. The Fund has determined there are no subsequent events that would need to be disclosed in the Fund’s financial statements.

Shareholder Expenses | | (Unaudited) September 30, 2021 |
Example
As a shareholder of the Fund, you incur two basic types of costs: (1) transaction costs and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees and other Fund expenses.
This Example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds. The Example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period 4/1/2021 through 9/30/2021. Expenses Paid During Period are equal to the net annualized expense ratio for the Fund, multiplied by the average account value over the period, multiplied by 183/365 (to reflect the one-half year period).
Actual Expenses
The actual return columns in the following table provide information about account values based on actual returns and actual expenses. You may use the information in these columns, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the 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 respective line under the heading entitled “Expenses Paid During Period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period. In addition to the expenses shown below in the table, as a shareholder you will be assessed fees for returned checks and stop payment orders at prevailing rates charged by U.S. Bancorp Fund Services, LLC, the Fund’s transfer agent. The transfer agent charges a transaction fee of $25.00 on returned checks and stop payment orders. If you paid a transaction fee, you would add the fee amount to the expenses paid on your account this period to obtain your total expenses paid.
Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes
The hypothetical return columns in the following table provide information about hypothetical account values 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 the other funds. Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect the transaction fees discussed above. Therefore, those columns are 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.
