Item 1. Reports to Stockholders.
Looking ahead, we don’t expect to make significant changes to portfolio structure; the current slow growth environment should result in continued highly accommodative policy that should be supportive for the assets held in the portfolio. Also, our interest rate strategy will also remain fairly close to the benchmark unless a catalyst develops to spark a large move in rates in the future.
LoCorr Long/Short Commodities Strategy Fund
The LoCorr Long/Short Commodities Strategy Fund (the “Long/Short Commodities Fund”) commenced operations on January 1, 2012. The Long/Short Commodities Fund was created to provide investors with access to a commodities futures strategy in a mutual fund structure. Historically, investors have accessed exposure to commodities in long-only fund, funds that rely on commodity price increases to generate commodity returns. Of course, commodity prices don’t always appreciate and occasionally experience sharp declines. LoCorr’s Long/Short Commodity Fund has the ability to profit while commodity prices increase or decrease. The Long/Short Commodities Fund’s primary investment objective is capital appreciation in rising and falling commodities markets. The Long/Short Commodities Fund attempts to achieve its investment objective by investing in two primary strategies – a Commodities strategy and a Fixed Income strategy.
Commodities Strategy
The Long/Short Commodities Fund invests up to 25% of its total assets into a portfolio of globally diversified commodity futures positions. The Long/Short Commodities Fund uses Millburn Ridgefield Corporation (“Millburn”) to execute its commodities strategy. Millburn was founded in 1971 and manages about $1.9 billion in assets. The Long/Short Commodities Fund utilizes Millburn’s Commodity Program (“Milcom”), a commodity pool which commenced operations in 2005. Milcom systematically invests in about 50 futures markets with long and short positions in sectors such as energy, metals, grains, livestock, softs and lumber. The Long/Short Commodities Fund registered a loss during the first half of 2012. Losses were sustained in trading all sectors: energy, grain, metals, soft commodities, and livestock. Metal prices were volatile during the period and produced some of the largest losses during the period. Energy trading was unprofitable with a profit on short natural gas positions failing to fully offset the losses on long heating oil and gas oil positions, and trading of crude oil.
Prospects of bumper crops early in 2012 were supplanted by the reality of a severe drought in the U.S. by mid-May, and short corn, wheat, soybean, soybean oil, and oat trades produced losses and were reversed to long trades. Long European rapeseed and milling wheat positions were quite profitable, lowering the overall grain sector loss. Trading of livestock was unprofitable.
Turning to soft commodities, short cocoa trades were unprofitable as hot, dry weather hit the Ivory Coast and raised fears that an expected bumper crop might face significant damage. Trading of palm oil, Robusta coffee and sugar were also unprofitable. Meanwhile, a short Arabica coffee trade produced a profit as expectations of a bumper Brazilian harvest pushed Arabica to its lowest price in 18 months in late March. A short cotton trade was profitable as the Chinese growth outlook dimmed, and a long orange juice trade was profitable early in the period.

Fixed Income Strategy
Since inception, the fixed income portfolio sub-advised by Galliard Capital Management has outperformed the benchmark, the Barclays Capital 1-5 Year Government/Credit Index, by 12 basis points before fees (0.27% versus 0.15%). Outperformance was driven by allocations to short corporate bonds, asset-backed securities and Agency hybrid mortgage-backed securities, which performed better than like-duration Treasuries. Additionally, the portfolio overweight in intermediate maturity securities enhanced returns, as interest rates in this portion of the yield curve rallied to record lows near the end of the second quarter. Looking ahead, we will continue to invest cash flows in high-quality fixed income assets when they offer compelling relative value. This includes U.S. Government-backed issues, including Agency mortgage-backed securities, corporate bonds, short maturity AAA-rated asset-backed securities, and short maturity AAA-rated commercial mortgage-backed securities. Portfolio duration will likely be kept neutral to slightly short of the benchmark duration.
Thank you for investing in LoCorr Funds.
Basis Point - a unit that is equal to 1/100th of 1% and is used to denote the change in a financial instrument. Correlation measures how much the returns of two investments move together over time Duration is a commonly used measure of the potential volatility of the price of the debt security, or the aggregate market value of a portfolio of debt securities, prior to maturity. Securities with a longer duration generally have more volatile prices than securities of comparable quality with a shorter duration.
The Barclays Capital U.S. 1-5 Year Government/Credit Bond Index includes all medium and larger issues of U.S. government, investment-grade corporate, and investment-grade international dollar-denominated bonds that have maturities of between 1 and 5 years. One cannot invest directly in an index.
The opinions expressed in the letter are those of the fund manager, are subject to change, are not guaranteed and should not be considered a recommendation to buy or sell any security. Must be preceded or accompanied by a prospectus. Fund holdings and sector allocation are subject to change and should not be considered a recommendation to buy or sell any security. For a complete list of fund holdings please refer to the Schedule of Investments included in this report.
Mutual fund investing involves risk. Principal loss is possible. The Funds are non-diversified, meaning they may concentrate their assets in fewer individual holdings than a diversified fund. Therefore, the Funds are more exposed to individual stock volatility than a diversified fund. The Funds invest in foreign investments and foreign currencies which involve greater volatility and political, economic and currency risks and differences in accounting methods. The Funds may make short sales of securities, which involves the risk that losses may exceed the original amount invested. Investing in commodities may subject the Funds to greater risks and volatility as commodity prices may be influenced by a variety of factors including unfavorable weather, environmental factors, and changes in government regulations. The Funds may invest in derivative securities, which derive their performance from the performance of an underlying asset, index, interest rate or currency exchange rate. Derivatives can be volatile and involve various types and degrees of risks, and, depending upon the characteristics of a particular derivative, suddenly can become illiquid. Investments in debt securities typically decrease in value when interest rates rise. This risk is usually greater for longer-term debt securities. Investments in Asset Backed, Mortgage Backed, and Collateralized Mortgage Backed Securities include additional risks that investors should be aware of such as credit risk, prepayment risk, possible illiquidity and default, as well as increased susceptibility to adverse economic developments. Diversification does not assure a profit nor protect against loss in a declining market.
Past performance is not a guarantee of future results.

40 ● NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)
LoCorr Investment Trust
Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements
June 30, 2012 (Unaudited)
1. Organization
LoCorr Investment Trust (the “Trust”), an Ohio business trust, was formed on November 15, 2010 and is a non-diversified, open-end management investment company under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended. The LoCorr Managed Futures Strategy Fund and the LoCorr Long/Short Commodities Strategy Fund (individually a “Fund” and collectively the “Funds”) are series within the Trust. The LoCorr Managed Futures Strategy Fund’s primary investment objective is capital appreciation in rising and falling equity markets with managing volatility as a secondary objective. The LoCorr Long/Short Commodities Strategy Fund’s primary objective is capital appreciation in rising and falling commodities markets with managing volatility as a secondary objective. In order to achieve its investment objectives, each Fund will invest up to 25% of its total assets (measured at the time of purchase) in wholly-owned subsidiaries, LCMFS Fund Limited (“LCMFS”) and LCLSCS Fund Limited (“LCLSCS”), companies incorporated under the laws of the Cayman Islands. As of June 30, 2012, the fair value of LoCorr Managed Futures Strategy Fund’s investment in LCMFS was $71,399,212 (representing 22.91% of the LoCorr Managed Futures Strategy Fund’s consolidated net assets) and the fair value of LoCorr Long/Short Commodities Strategy Fund’s investment in LCLSCS was $1,269,763 (representing 21.63% of the LoCorr Long/Short Commodities Strategy Fund’s consolidated net assets). LCMFS and LCLSCS act as investment vehicles in order to enter into certain investments for the Funds consistent with their investment objectives and policies specified in the Prospectus and Statement of Additional Information.
As of June 30, 2012, LCMFS has a 96.65% ownership in Millburn Diversified Plus L.P. (“MD Plus”) and LCLSCS has a 45.54% ownership in Millburn Commodity Plus L.P. (“MC Plus”)(collectively the “Partnerships”). MD Plus and MC Plus are limited partnerships that were organized on February 14, 2011 and December 16, 2011, respectively, under the Delaware Revised Uniform Limited Partnership Act and commenced operations on March 24, 2011 and December 30, 2011, respectively. The Partnerships engage in speculative trading of futures and forward currency contracts. The General Partner of the Partnerships is Millburn Ridgefield Corporation (the “General Partner”).
The consolidated financial statements of the LoCorr Managed Futures Strategy Fund include the financial statements of LCMFS. In addition, because LCMFS has a controlling interest (greater than 50% but less than 100%) in MD Plus, the financial results of MD Plus as of and for the period ended June 30, 2012 have also been consolidated with the financial statements of LCMFS. All intercompany balances, revenues, and expenses have been eliminated in consolidation. LoCorr Managed Futures Strategy Fund, LCMFS and MD Plus are collectively referred to as the Fund throughout these consolidated financial statements. The LoCorr Long/Short Commodities Strategy Fund’s consolidated financial statements include the financial statements of LCLSCS, however they do not include the financial statements of MC Plus since LCLSCS does not have a controlling interest in MC Plus as of June 30, 2012.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED) (CONTINUED) ● 41
Non-controlling interest is the portion of equity ownership in MD Plus not attributable to the Fund. Non-controlling interest represents additional, non-related partners in MD Plus and for the LoCorr Managed Futures Strategy Fund it was equal to 3.35% of MD Plus’ net assets and 0.79% of the Fund’s consolidated net assets as of June 30, 2012.
The Funds currently offer three classes of shares, Class A, Class C and Class I shares. Each share class represents an interest in the same assets of the Fund, has the same rights and is identical in all material respects except that (i) Class A shares have a maximum front end sales load of 5.75% and maximum deferred sales charge of 1.00% and Class C shares have a maximum deferred sales charge of 1.00%, (ii) Class A shares have a 12b-1 fee of 0.25% and Class C shares have a 12b-1 fee of 1.00%; (iii) certain other class-specific expenses will be borne solely by the class to which such expenses are attributable and (iv) each class will have exclusive voting rights with respect to matters relating to its own distribution arrangements. All classes are subject to a 1.00% redemption fee on redemptions made within 30 days of the original purchase. The LoCorr Managed Futures Strategy Fund Class A commenced operations on March 22, 2011 and Class C and Class I commenced operations on March 24, 2011. All three classes of the LoCorr Long/Short Commodities Strategy Fund commenced operations on January 1, 2012.
The Funds may issue an unlimited number of shares of beneficial interest, with no par value. All shares of the Funds have equal rights and privileges, except as to class-specific rights and privileges described above.
2. Significant Accounting Policies
Investment Valuation
The Funds have adopted authoritative fair valuation 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 changes in valuation techniques and related inputs during the period. These inputs are summarized in three broad levels listed below:
Level 1 – Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the Fund has the ability to access.
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.
Generally, the Funds’ investments are valued each day at the last quoted sales price on each investment’s primary exchange. Investments traded or dealt in upon one or more exchanges (whether domestic or foreign) for which market quotations are readily available and not subject to restrictions against resale shall be valued at the last quoted sales price on the primary exchange or, in the absence of a sale on the primary exchange, at the last bid on the primary exchange. Investments primarily traded in the National Association of Securities Dealers’ Automated Quotation System (“NASDAQ”) National Market System for which market quotations are readily available shall be valued using the NASDAQ Official Closing Price. If market quotations are not readily available, investments will be valued at their fair value as determined in good faith by LoCorr Fund Management, LLC (the “Adviser”) in accordance with procedures approved by the Board of Trustees (the “Board”) and evaluated by the Board as to the reliability of the fair value method used. In these cases, each Fund’s net asset value (“NAV”) will reflect certain portfolio investments’ fair value rather than their market price. Fair value pricing involves subjective judgments and it is possible that the fair value determined for an investment is materially different than the value that could be realized upon the sale of that investment. The fair value prices can differ from market prices when they become available or when a price becomes available.
42 ● NOTES TO CONSOLI DATED FI NANCIAL STATEMENT S (UNAUDI TED) (CONTINUED)
The Funds may use independent pricing services to assist in calculating the value of the Funds’ investments. In addition, market prices for foreign investments are not determined at the same time of day as the NAV for the Funds. Because the Funds may invest in underlying funds which hold portfolio investments primarily listed on foreign exchanges, and these exchanges may trade on weekends or other days when the underlying funds do not price their shares, the value of some of the Funds’ portfolio investments may change on days when you may not be able to buy or sell the Funds’ shares. In computing the NAV, the Funds value foreign investments held by the Funds at the latest closing price on the exchange in which they are traded immediately prior to closing of the NYSE. Prices of foreign investments quoted in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollars at current rates. If events materially affecting the value of an investment in the Funds’ portfolio, particularly foreign investments, occur after the close of trading on a foreign market but before the Funds price their shares, the investment will be valued at fair value.
Fixed income securities are valued using an evaluated price supplied by an independent pricing service. Inputs used by the pricing service for U.S. government and treasury securities are normally valued using a model that incorporates market observable data such as reported sales of similar securities, broker dealer quotes, yields, bids, offers, and reference data. Agency issued debt securities, foreign issued bonds and municipal bonds are generally valued in a manner similar to U.S. government securities. Evaluations for corporate bonds are typically based on valuation methodologies such as market pricing and other analytical pricing models as well as market transactions and dealer quotations based on observable inputs. Fixed income securities are generally categorized in level 1 or level 2 of the fair value hierarchy depending on inputs used and market activity levels for specific securities.
The fair value of asset backed securities and mortgage backed securities is estimated on models that consider the estimated cash flows of each tranche of the entity, establish a benchmark yield, and develop an estimated tranche-specific spread to the benchmark yield based on the unique attributes of the tranche. Additional inputs such as creditworthiness of the underlying collateral and quotes from outside brokers for the same or similar issuance may also be considered in the development of fair value. Asset backed and mortgage backed securities are generally categorized in level 2 of the fair value hierarchy. Short-term investments in fixed income securities with maturities of less than 60 days when acquired, or which subsequently are within 60 days of maturity, are valued using an amortized cost method of valuation, and are categorized level 2.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED) (CONTINUED) ● 43
With respect to any portion of the Funds’ assets that are invested in one or more open-end management investment companies, including money market funds, registered under the 1940 Act, the Fund’s net asset value is calculated based upon the net asset values of those open-end management investment companies, and the prospectuses for these companies explain the circumstances under which those companies will use fair value pricing and the effects of using fair value pricing.
Futures contracts are stated at fair value using the primary exchange’s closing (settlement) price, and are categorized in level 1. Forward currency contracts are stated at fair value using spot currency rates and are adjusted for the time value of money (forward points) and contractual prices of the underlying financial instruments. Forward currency contracts are generally categorized in level 2.
The investment in the partnerships by the Funds are valued at their fair value. The unitized net asset value of each partnership is provided daily by the general partner via their independent administrator as of the fair value measurement date without adjustment. The Adviser has determined that the general partner and independent administrator has an effective process and related internal controls in place to estimate the fair value of the investments that are included in the net asset value calculation of the partnerships.

See the consolidated schedules of investments for the investments detailed by industry classification. The Funds did not hold any level 3 assets during the period. There were no transfers between levels during the period. Transfers between levels are recognized at the end of the reporting period.
Federal Income Taxes
The Funds intend to qualify as a regulated investment company pursuant to Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code. Each Fund intends to distribute substantially all of its investment company net taxable income and net capital gains to shareholders. Therefore, no federal income tax provision is required. As of and during the period ended June 30, 2012 the Funds did not have any tax positions that did not meet the “more-likely-than-not” threshold of being sustained by applicable tax authorities. The Funds recognize interest and penalties, if any, related to unrecognized tax benefits on uncertain tax position income tax expense in the statements of operations. During the period, the Funds did not incur any interest or penalties. Generally, tax authorities can examine all the tax returns filed for the last three years. For tax purposes, LCMFS and LCLSCS are exempted Cayman investment companies. LCMFS and LCLSCS have received an undertaking from the Government of the Cayman Islands exempting them from all local income, profits, and capital gains taxes. No such taxes are levied in the Cayman Islands at the present time. For U.S. income tax purposes, LCMFS and LCLSCS are controlled foreign corporations (“CFC’s”) and as such are not subject to U.S. income tax. However, as a wholly-owned CFC, LCMFS’s and LCLSCS’s net income and capital gain, to the extent of its earnings and profits, will be included each year in the Funds’ investment company taxable income.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amount of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED) (CONTINUED) ● 45
Indemnifications
In the normal course of business, the Funds enter into contracts that contain general indemnifications to other parties. The Funds’ maximum exposure under these contracts is unknown as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Funds that have not yet occurred. However, based on experience, the Funds expect the risk of loss to be remote.
Security Transactions and Investment Income
Security transactions are recorded on trade date. Realized gains and losses on sales of investments are calculated on the specifically identified cost basis of the securities. Dividend income, less foreign taxes withheld, if any, are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Interest income is recognized on the accrual basis. Market discounts, premiums and original issue discounts on fixed-income securities are amortized daily over the expected life of the security using the effective yield method.
Allocation of Income and Expenses
Net investment income, other than class specific expenses, and realized and unrealized gains and losses are allocated daily to each class of shares based upon the relative net asset value of outstanding shares of each class of shares at the beginning of the day (after adjusting for the current capital shares activity of the respective class).
Distributions to Shareholders
Shareholder transactions are recorded on trade date. Dividends from net investment income are declared and paid at least annually by the Funds. Distribution of net realized capital gains, if any, are declared and paid at least annually. Distributions to shareholders are recorded on the ex-dividend date. The character of distributions made during the year from the net investment income or net realized gains may differ from the characterization for federal income tax purposes due to the difference in the recognition of income, expense and gain items for financial statement and tax purposes. There were no distributions paid during the six months ended June 30, 2012.
Distributable Earnings and Investment Transactions
Net investment income and net realized gains (losses) may differ for financial reporting and tax purposes because of temporary or permanent book/tax differences. To the extent these differences are permanent, reclassifications are made to the appropriate equity accounts in the period that the difference arises.
Additionally, U.S. generally accepted accounting principles require 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 net asset value per share.
Foreign Securities and Currency
Investment securities and other assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollar amounts at the date of valuation. Purchases and sales of investment securities and income and expense items denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollar amounts on the respective dates of such transactions.
The Funds do not isolate that portion of the results of operations resulting from changes in foreign exchange rates on investments from the fluctuations arising from changes in market prices of securities held. Such fluctuations are included with the net realized and unrealized gain or loss from investments.
46 ● NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED) (CONTINUED)
Reported net realized foreign exchange gains or losses arise from sales of foreign currencies, currency gains or losses realized between the trade and settlement dates on securities transactions, and the difference between the amounts of dividends, interest, and foreign withholding taxes recorded on the Funds’ books and the U.S. dollar equivalent of the amounts actually received or paid. Net unrealized foreign exchange gains and losses arise from changes in the fair values of assets and liabilities, other than investments in securities at period end, resulting from changes in exchange rates.
Futures Contracts
Gains or losses are realized when contracts are liquidated. The Funds present unrealized gains and unrealized losses on open futures contracts (the difference between the contract trade price and quoted market price) as a gross amount in the statements of assets and liabilities. However, the futures broker has the right of offset. The Funds elected not to net broker cash with cash deficit at broker, denominated in foreign currencies even though a right of offset exists for these amounts. Any change in net unrealized gain or loss is reported in the statement of operations. Brokerage commissions on open futures contracts are charged to expense when paid.
Forward Currency Contracts
Gains or losses are realized when foreign currency contracts are liquidated. The Funds present the aggregate gross unrealized gains and losses with an interbank market maker as a gross amount in the statement of assets and liabilities. However, the interbank market maker has the individual right of offset. The unrealized gains or losses on open forward currency contracts are the difference between contract trade price and market price. Any change in net unrealized gain or loss is reported in the statements of operations.
Deposits with Broker
The Funds deposit funds with J.P Morgan Securities LLC, and Citigroup Global Markets, Inc., subject to Commodity Futures Trading Commission regulations and various exchange and broker requirements. Margin requirements are satisfied by the deposit of U.S. government securities and cash with such brokers. Accordingly, assets used to meet margin and other broker or regulatory requirements are partially restricted. Each Fund earns or pays interest on its assets deposited with, or borrowed from, the brokers.
Market and Credit Risks
Futures transactions of the Funds are cleared by J.P. Morgan Securities LLC and Citigroup Global Markets, Inc., pursuant to customer agreements. For all forward currency transactions, the Funds utilize one interbank market maker, Barclays Bank PLC. The Funds engage in the speculative trading of U.S. and foreign futures and forward currency contracts (collectively, derivatives).
The Funds are exposed to both market risk, which is the risk arising from changes in the fair value of the contracts, and credit risk, which is the risk of failure by another party to perform according to the terms of a contract.
Purchase and sale of futures contracts requires margin deposits with the broker. Additional deposits may be necessary for any loss on contract value. The Commodity Exchange Act requires a broker to segregate all customer transactions and assets from such broker’s proprietary activities. A customer’s cash and other property (for example, U.S. government securities) deposited with a broker are considered commingled with all other customer funds subject to the broker’s segregation requirements. In the event of a broker’s insolvency, recovery may be limited to a pro rata share of segregated funds available. It is possible that the recovered amount could be less than total cash and other property deposited.
The Funds have a substantial portion of its assets on deposit with financial institutions in connection with their trading of forward currency contracts and their cash management activities. Assets deposited with financial institutions in connection with their trading of forward currency contracts and their cash management activities. Assets deposited with financial institutions in connection with the Funds’ trading of forward currency contracts are partially restricted due to deposit or margin requirements. As forward currency contracts are traded in unregulated markets between principals, the Funds assume the risk of loss from counterparty non-performance. At June 30, 2012, the LoCorr Managed Futures Strategy Fund had U.S. government securities on deposit with Barclays Capital (Barclays), HSBC Bank USA, N.A. (HSBC) and J.P. Morgan Securities LLC (J.P. Morgan), in the amount of $54,423,272. In the event of insolvency of Barclays, HSBC and/or J.P. Morgan, none of these assets would be subject to claims of other bank customers or the bank’s creditors. Accordingly, a bank failure should have no adverse effect on the Funds’ custodial account as the assets in the account would remain property of the Funds.
For derivatives, risks arise from changes in the fair value of the contracts. Theoretically, the Funds are exposed to a market risk equal to the notional contract value of futures and forward currency contracts purchased and unlimited liability on such contracts sold short.
The Funds also engage in investing its assets in U.S. government securities. Risks arise from investments in U.S. government securities due to possible market illiquidity. U.S. government securities are also sensitive to changes in interest rates and economic conditions.
The Funds have established procedures to actively monitor market risk and minimize credit risk, although there can be no assurance that it will, in fact, succeed in doing so.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED) (CONTINUED) ● 47
3. Derivatives
The Funds may invest in derivatives in order to hedge against market movements while liquidating certain positions and buying other securities or as substitutes for securities.
The Funds’ market risk related to its derivatives trading is influenced by a wide variety of factors, including the level and volatility of interest rates, exchange rates, weather, supply and demand of commodities, the market value of futures and forward currency contracts, the diversification effects among the Funds’ open positions and the liquidity of the markets in which they trade.
The Funds engage in the speculative trading of futures and forward currency contracts. The Managed Futures Strategy Fund trades futures contracts on interest rates, commodities, currencies, metals, energies, livestock and stock indices. The Long/Short Commodities Strategy Fund trades futures contracts on commodities, metals, energies and livestock indices. The following were the primary trading risk exposures of the Funds at June 30, 2012, by market sector:
Agricultural (grains, livestock and softs). The Funds’ primary exposure is to agricultural price movements which are often directly affected by severe or unexpected weather conditions.
48 ● NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED) (CONTINUED)
Currencies. Exchange rate risk is a principal market exposure of the Funds. The Funds’ currency exposure is to exchange rate fluctuations, primarily fluctuations which disrupt the historical pricing relationships
between different currencies and currency pairs. The fluctuations are influenced by interest rate changes as well as political and general economic conditions. The Funds trade in a large number of currencies including cross-rates – e.g., positions between two currencies other than the U.S. dollar.
Energy. The Funds’ primary energy market exposure is to gas and oil price movements, often resulting from political developments in the Middle East and economic conditions worldwide. Energy prices are volatile and substantial profits and losses have been and are expected to continue to be experienced in this market.
Interest rates. Interest rate movements directly affect the price of the sovereign bond futures positions held by the Funds and indirectly the value of its stock index currency positions. Interest rate movements in one country as well as relative interest rate movements between countries may materially impact the Funds’ profitability. The Funds’ primary interest rate exposure is to interest rate fluctuations in countries or regions including Australia, Canada, Japan, Switzerland, the United Kingdom, the United States and the Eurozone. However, the Funds also may take positions in futures contracts on the government debt of other nations. The Funds anticipate that interest rates in these industrialized countries or areas, both long-term and short-term, will remain a primary market exposure of the Fund for the foreseeable future.
Metals. The Funds’ metals market exposure is to fluctuations in the price of aluminum, copper, gold, lead, nickel, palladium, tin, silver and zinc.
Stock index. The Funds’ equity exposure, through stock index futures, is to equity price risk in the major industrialized countries as well as other countries.
The Funds have adopted authoritative standards regarding disclosure about derivatives and hedging activities and how they affect the Funds’ statements of asset and liabilities and statements of operations. Fair value of futures contracts in an asset position are recorded in the statements of assets and liabilities as Net unrealized gain on futures, Payable for variation margin on futures, and Net unrealized appreciation on futures. Fair value of forward currency contracts in an asset position are recorded in the statements of assets and liabilities as Net unrealized gain on forward currency contracts and Net unrealized appreciation on forward currency contracts.
Since the derivatives held long or short are for speculative trading purposes, the derivative instruments are not designated as hedging instruments. Accordingly, all realized gains and losses, as well as any change in net unrealized gains or losses on open contracts from the preceding period, are recognized as part of realized and unrealized gain (loss) in the statements of operations.
The following table presents the fair value of consolidated open futures and forward currency contracts for the LoCorr Managed Futures Strategy Fund, held long or sold short, at June 30, 2012.

5. Management Fees and Other Transactions with Affiliates
The Funds have a Management Agreement with the Adviser, with whom certain officers and Trustees of the Funds are affiliated, to furnish investment advisory services to the Funds. Pursuant to a Management Agreement between the Funds and the Adviser, the Adviser is entitled to receive, on a monthly basis, an annual advisory fee equal to 1.50% of the Funds’ average daily net assets. Pursuant to a sub-advisory agreement between the Adviser and Nuveen Asset Management, LLC and Galliard Capital Management, Inc. (individually a “Sub-Adviser” and collectively the “Sub-Advisers”), the Sub-Advisers are entitled to receive, on a monthly basis, an annual sub-advisory fee on the fixed income portion of the Funds’ average daily net assets up to 0.18% based on the balance of sub-advised assets. The Sub-Advisers are paid by the Adviser, not the Funds. As of June 30, 2012, the LoCorr Managed Futures Strategy Fund and the LoCorr Long/Short Commodities Strategy Fund incurred $1,870,824 and $15,884, respectively, in advisory fees and owed the Adviser $424,128 and $4,424, respectively.
The Funds’ Adviser has contractually agreed to waive management fees and/or reimburse the Funds for expenses it incurs but only to the extent necessary to maintain the Funds’ total annual operating expenses after fee waiver and/or reimbursement (excluding taxes, interest, brokerage commissions, expenses incurred in connection with any merger or reorganization, indirect expenses, expenses of other investment companies in which the Funds may invest, or extraordinary expenses such as litigation) at 2.20%, 2.95% and 1.95% of the average daily net assets of Class A, Class C and Class I shares, respectively. Management excludes the expenses of the Partnership from the calculation described previously. Any waiver or reimbursement is subject to repayment by the Funds within the three fiscal years following the fiscal year in which the expenses occurred, if the Funds are able to make the repayment without exceeding their current expense limitations and the repayment is approved by the Board of Trustees. During the six months ended June 30, 2012, the Adviser recovered $142,490 of its fees related to the LoCorr Managed Futures Strategy Fund. As of June 30, 2012, the LoCorr Managed Futures Strategy Fund had $30,651 in waived fees remaining, which are subject to repayment on or before December 31, 2014. The Adviser waived $15,884 of its fees and reimbursed $127,827 of expenses related to the LoCorr Long/Short Commodities Strategy Fund, which are subject to repayment on or before December 31, 2015.
The Limited Partnership Agreements of the Partnerships provide that the General Partner receives a monthly management fee (accrued daily) in respect of each Limited Partner in an amount ranging from 1/12 of 0% to 1/12 of 2% of the Target Trading Level of such Limited Partner’s capital account at the beginning of the month prorated for partial months and adjusted for daily subscriptions and withdrawals (the “Management Fee”). The Management Fee is paid to the General Partner in arrears as of each month-end and is calculated prior to reduction for any withdrawals, profits and losses during the month, any accrued Profit Share (as defined below) or the Management Fee then being calculated. As of June 30, 2012, the General Partner was paid $1,046,521 in Management Fees, and was owed $437,005 from MD Plus.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED) (CONTINUED) ● 51
“Target Trading Level,” for purposes of calculating Management Fees, means four times the net asset value of such Limited Partner’s capital account at the beginning of the month, adjusted for subscriptions and withdrawals during the month, irrespective of any day-to-day changes in the actual trading level of each Partnership or intra-month profit of loss attributable to a Limited Partner’s capital account. Since the Management Fee is based on the Target Trading Level, as described above, and not net assets or the level at which each Partnership’s assets may actually be traded at any particular time, a 2% per annum Management Fee on the Target Trading Level calculates to an annualized 8% per annum Management Fee based on the Partnerships’ beginning of the month net assets, prorated for partial months and adjusted for daily subscriptions and withdrawals.
The Partnership Agreements provide that the General Partner is allocated a profit share of allocation ranging from 0% to 17.5% of Trading Profits (as defined in the Limited Partnership Agreements) that is deducted from the Limited Partners’ capital accounts and added to the General Partner’s capital account. However, for Limited Partners’ withdrawals during the period, the General Partner profit share allocation calculation shall be computed as though the withdrawal date was at the end of the period. For the six months ended June 30, 2012, there was no profit share allocation.
The General Partner may waive, reduce or rebate its management fee or profit share allocation (or adjust the frequency of the profit share allocation) in respect of any Limited Partner without entitling any other Limited Partner to a similar waiver, reduction, rebate or adjustment.
The LoCorr Managed Futures Strategy Fund and MD Plus have management fees that are consolidated on the statement of operations and financial highlights as of the period ended June 30, 2012. The LoCorr Long/Short Commodities Strategy Fund and MC Plus did not consolidate its management fees as of the period ended June 30, 2012.
The Funds have entered into a 12b-1 distribution agreement with Quasar Distributors, LLC (“Quasar”). Class A and Class C shareholders pay Rule 12b-1 fees to Quasar at the annual rate of 0.25% and 1.00%, respectively, of average daily net assets. Class I shareholders pay no 12b-1 fees.

8. New Accounting Pronouncement
In December 2011, the FASB issued ASU No. 2011-11 “Disclosures about Offsetting Assets and Liabilities.” ASU 2011-11 requires disclosures to make financial statements that are prepared under U.S. GAAP more comparable to those prepared under IFRS. The new disclosure requirements mandate that entities disclose both gross and net information about instruments and transactions eligible for offset in the Statements of Assets & Liabilities as well as instruments and transactions subject to an agreement similar to a master netting arrangement. In addition, ASU 2011-11 requires disclosure of collateral received and posted in connection with master netting agreements or similar arrangements. New disclosures are required for annual reporting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2013, and interim periods within those annual periods.
Management is currently evaluating the impact ASU No. 2011-04 and ASU No. 2011-11 will have on the Funds’ financial statements and disclosures.
54 ● EXPENSE EXAMPLE (UNAUDITED)
Consolidated Expense Example Excluding Non-Controlling Interest
June 30, 2012 (Unaudited)
As a shareholder of a mutual fund, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including sales charges (loads) on purchase payments; redemption fees; and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees; distribution and/or service (12b-1) fees and other Fund expenses.
This Example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in each of the Funds 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 (January 1, 2012 through June 30, 2012).
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 first line under the heading entitled “Expenses Paid During Period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period. The only transaction fees you may be required to pay are for outgoing wire transfers, returned checks and stop payment orders at prevailing rates charged by U.S. Bancorp Fund Services, LLC, the Funds’ transfer agent. These fees are assessed on all accounts, as applicable. If you request that a redemption be made by wire transfer, currently the Funds’ transfer agent charges a $15.00 fee. The Funds’ 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 Funds’ actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Funds’ 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 Funds 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. A transaction fee of $15.00 may be assessed on outgoing wire transfers and a transaction fee of $25.00 may be assessed on returned checks and stop payment orders. To include this fee in the calculation, you would add the estimated transaction fee to the hypothetical expenses shown in the table. 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.

56 ● SUPPLEMENTAL INFORMATION (CONTINUED)
LoCorr Long/Short Commodities Strategy Fund
June 30, 2012 (Unaudited)
Approval of Advisory Agreement – LoCorr Long/Short Commodities Strategy Fund
In connection with a regular meeting held on December 23, 2011 (the “Meeting”), the Board of Trustees (the “Board” or “Trustees”) of LoCorr Investment Trust (the “Trust”), including a majority of the Trustees who are not interested persons of the Trust or interested persons to the investment management agreement (the “Independent Trustees”), discussed the approval of an investment management agreement (the “Management Agreement”) between LoCorr Fund Management, LLC (the “Adviser”) and the Trust, on behalf of LoCorr Long/Short Commodities Strategy Fund (the “Fund”). The Trustees reviewed a memorandum from Thompson Hine LLP (“Fund counsel”) entitled “Duties of Trustees with Respect to Approval of Investment Advisory Contracts,” which had been provided to them prior to the meeting. They discussed with Fund counsel that in fulfilling their responsibilities to the Fund and its shareholders, the Trustees must apply their business judgment of whether the overall arrangements provided under the terms of the investment management contract are reasonable for the Fund. They also discussed specific factors the Trustees should consider in evaluating an investment management contract, which include, but are not limited to: the investment performance of the Fund and other accounts managed by the Adviser; the nature, extent and quality of the services to be provided by the Adviser to the Fund; the costs of the services to be provided and the profits to be realized by the Adviser and its affiliates from the relationship with the Fund; the extent to which economies of scale will be realized as the Fund grows; and whether the fee levels reflect these economies of scale to the benefit of shareholders.
The Trustees reviewed the Adviser’s responses to an investment adviser questionnaire and the proposed Management Agreement between the Trust and LoCorr, copies of which had previously been supplied to the Trustees for their review. As to the Adviser’s qualifications, the Trustees reviewed a copy of the Adviser’s registration statement on Form ADV (Parts I and II). As to the nature, extent and quality of the services to be provided by the Adviser to the Fund, the Trustees considered that, under the terms of the Management Agreement, the Adviser would, subject to the supervision of the Board, provide or arrange to be provided to the Fund such investment advice as the Adviser in its discretion deems advisable and will furnish or arrange to be furnished a continuous investment program for the Fund, consistent with the Fund’s investment objective and policies. The Adviser will determine or arrange for others to determine the securities to be purchased for the Fund, the portfolio securities to be held or sold by the Fund and the portion of the Fund’s assets to be invested, subject always to the Fund’s investment objective, policies and restrictions, as each of the same shall be in effect, and subject further to such policies and instructions as the Board may establish. The Adviser will furnish such information or analyses to the Trust as the Board may request or as the Adviser deems desirable. The Adviser also will advise and assist the officers of the Trust in taking such steps as are necessary or appropriate to carry out the decisions of the Board and the appropriate committees of the Board regarding the conduct of the business of the Trust. The Adviser may delegate any of the responsibilities, rights or duties described above, provided the Adviser notifies the Trust and agrees that such delegation does not relieve the Adviser from any liability thereunder. The Trustees concluded that, overall, they were satisfied with the nature, extent and quality of the services to be provided to the Fund under the Management Agreement.
SUPPLEMENTAL INFORMATION (CONTINUED) ● 57
As to the costs of the services to be provided and the profits to be realized by the Adviser, the Trustees reviewed the Adviser’s estimates of its profitability and its financial condition. The Trustees noted that the Adviser expected net losses during the first year of operations and continuing losses should the Fund fail to attract sufficient assets. The Board also discussed whether the Adviser’s parent company would further capitalize the Adviser if necessary. Fund counsel then discussed the proposed expense limitation agreement and explained that the Adviser has agreed to cap the Fund’s expenses at 1.95%, excluding certain expense items and excluding the Fund’s 12b-1 fees. Based on their review, the Trustees concluded that they were satisfied that the Adviser’s expected level of profitability from its relationship with the Fund was not excessive.
As to comparative fees and expenses, the Trustees considered the management fee to the Adviser and total expense ratio to be paid by Fund shareholders and compared those fees to the Fund’s peer group and considered them to be within the range of the peer group. The Trustees also considered the Adviser’s agreement to waive fees or reimburse expenses to the extent that Fund’s total operating expenses exceeded certain limits. The Trustees concluded that the Fund’s management fee was acceptable in light of the quality of services the Fund expected to receive from the Adviser. As to economies of scale, the Trustees noted that the Management Agreement does not contain breakpoints that reduce the fee rate on assets above specified levels. The Trustees agreed that breakpoints may be an appropriate way for LoCorr to share its economies of scale with a Fund and its shareholders if it experiences a substantial growth in assets. However, the Trustees recognized that that Fund had not yet commenced operations and that the management agreements with competitor funds do not always contain breakpoints. Consequently, the Trustees concluded that the absence of breakpoints was acceptable under the circumstances. Having received and reviewed information from the Adviser as the Board believed to be reasonably necessary, the Trustees, including the Independent Trustees, unanimously approved the Management Agreement.
Consideration and Approval of Sub-Advisory Agreement
Fund Counsel noted that the same factors that the Board considered with respect to the approval of the Management Agreement would apply to its consideration of the Sub-Advisory Agreement. The Trustees reviewed the responses to an investment adviser questionnaire from Galliard Capital Management, LLC (“Galliard” or the “Sub-Adviser”) and the proposed Sub-Advisory Agreement between the Sub-Adviser and the Trust, copies of which had previously been supplied to the Trustees for their review. As to Galliard’s business and the qualifications of its personnel, the Trustees reviewed a copy of Galliard’s adviser registration statement on Form ADV (Parts I and II). Next, the Trustees discussed the experience of Andrea Johnson, CFA, the portfolio manager, noting her years of experience as a portfolio manager with Galliard. Additionally, the Trustees noted that Galliard is not affiliated with the transfer agent or custodian and therefore does not derive any benefits from the relationships those parties have with the Trust. As to the nature, extent and quality of the services to be provided by Galliard to the Fund, the Trustees considered that, under the terms of the Sub-Advisory Agreement, the Sub-Adviser would, subject to the supervision of the Board of Trustees of the Trust, provide or arrange to be provided to the Fund such investment advice as the Sub-Adviser in its discretion deems advisable and will furnish or arrange to be furnished a continuous investment program for the portion of the Fund’s assets for which it is responsible, consistent with the Fund’s investment objective and policies. The Trustees noted that Galliard had adopted a compliance program to monitor and review investment decisions and to prevent and detect violations of the Fund’s investment policies and limitations, as well as federal securities laws. Additionally, they noted that Galliard has adequate resources to access the necessary research and noted the portfolio manager’s prior experience. The Trustees concluded that, overall, they were satisfied with the nature, extent and quality of the services to be provided to the Fund under the Sub-Advisory Agreement.

They noted that under the Sub-Advisory Agreement, Galliard will receive minimum annual revenue of $45,000 from the Adviser and that the costs incurred for the services Galliard provides will vary based on the size of the Fund. The Board noted that the fees received by Galliard will not have an impact on the Fund’s management fee or expense ratio. Based on their review, the Trustees concluded that they were satisfied that Galliard’s expected level of profitability from its relationship with the Fund was not excessive. As to comparative fees and expenses, the Trustees considered the management fee to be paid to Galliard and compared those fees to management fees paid by other accounts managed by Galliard. The Trustees concluded that the sub-advisory fee was acceptable in light of the quality of services the Fund expected to receive from Galliard and the level of fees paid by Galliard’s other clients. As to economies of scale, the Trustees noted that the Sub-Advisory Agreement contains breakpoints that reduce the fee rate on assets above specified levels. The Trustees agreed that breakpoints may be an appropriate way for Galliard to share its economies of scale if the Fund experiences a substantial growth in assets and that if breakpoints were achieved, these benefits to the Adviser would be considered by the Board when the Adviser’s contract is renewed and fees are again examined.
Having received and reviewed information from Galliard as the Board believed to be reasonably necessary, the Trustees, including the Independent Trustees, unanimously approved the Sub-Advisory Agreement.
