Bluebay Destra International Event-Driven Credit Fund

Shareholder Letter

Fellow Shareholders,

We are pleased to present you with your Fiscal 2021 Annual Report (the “Report”) for the BlueBay Destra International Event-Driven Credit Fund (the “Fund”). This Annual Report covers the period between October 1, 2020 and September 30, 2021 (the “Fiscal Year”).

On the subsequent pages, you will find commentary from the Fund’s Sub-Advisor, BlueBay Asset Management LLP (“BlueBay”), discussing the factors that most affected performance during the reporting period as well as specific details regarding investment results and portfolio holdings.

For the 12 months ended, September 30, 2021, the stock market, as represented by the S&P 500 index (“S&P 500” or “Stocks”) returned over +30.0%, and global equities, as represented by the MSCI All Country World Index, returned over +27.9%. This robust period of return following the COVID induced recession in March 2020 endured many headline news stories including several COVID variants, a labor market with millions unemployed and yet even more unfilled jobs, supply chain disruptions, gridlocks in Congress, and the fastest gains in core inflation since 1991.

10-Year Treasury rates rose considerably over the Fiscal Year period from the depths of March 2020 lows. As concerns surrounding COVID variants and economic growth started to mount, the 10-Year Treasury rates briefly peaked at the end of March 2021, stalled until mid-July, and restarted the trend upward again through the time of writing this letter.

Bonds, as measured by the Bloomberg Barclays US Aggregate Index (“Agg” or “Bonds”), returned -0.9% for the Fiscal Year period. During this same time period, Long Term Treasury’s, as measured by the Bloomberg Long Term US Treasury Index (“Long Term Treasuries”), were down over -10.2%.

Alternatives, measured by the Morningstar Diversified Alternative Index (“MDA” or “Alts”), middled the results of both stocks and bonds, posting +13.2% return in the Fiscal Year.

The BlueBay Destra International Event-Driven Credit Fund returned +27.25% for the Class I shares during the fiscal year outperforming Alts and Bonds while narrowly underperforming Stocks.

During the fiscal year, the Fund crossed its three-year anniversary in May 2021. Over the Fund’s 3-Year track record, BlueBay and Fund have delivered impressive performance for shareholders. In fact, the Fund was the top performing credit interval fund on 3-Year and Since Inception Total Returns as of the Fund’s fiscal year end (Source: Morningstar Direct, Data as September 30, 2021. Fund Inception Date May 9, 2018.)

BlueBay is a premier alternative income asset manager based in the UK, with over $80 billion in assets under management and 20 years of experience managing credit, debt, and distressed assets. We are thrilled to be working with such a storied and tenured manager.

We appreciate the continued confidence you have placed in us and our investment partners. Please read this Report carefully and be sure to contact your Financial Advisor or Destra Capital if you have any additional questions.

Sincerely,

Robert A. Watson, CFP®

President

Investment Environment

Markets ended a turbulent 2020 in a positive fashion, with the announcement of COVID-19 vaccines and the favourable U.S. election result boosting risk sentiment. Brexit headlines came back into the spotlight for European markets, as a disruptive and acrimonious ‘no deal’ was avoided before year-end. There was a compression theme in credit markets at the start of 2021 caused by the combination of higher government bond yields and expectations of a growth rebound. The second quarter saw further confirmation of a stronger earning environment for corporates as quarterly earnings exceeded expectations across sectors. With COVID-19 infection rates declining and vaccines appearing to mitigate concerns with respect to the new variants of the virus, economic reopenings saw solid growth across developed economies. Abundant liquidity helped push equity markets to new highs, and credit markets continued to rally.

Volatility returned during the third quarter of 2021 with the moves in core rates in addition to the worsening property sector debt crisis in China which spilled over into global markets and fuelled growth concerns. However, overall, the default environment in Europe remained subdued, with the trailing 12-month default rate falling to 1.5%.

Performance Discussion

For the twelve-month period ended September 30, 2021, Class I of the BlueBay Destra International Event-Driven Credit Fund (the “Fund”) had a return of 27.25%, net of fees. Over the fiscal review period the Fund was re-positioned to be event driven focused and the main contributors to return came from this strategy.

The top contributor to returns was Vertellus, due to our exit in profits from the majority of our exposure, as the company was sold to Pritzker Private Capital. In December 2016, BlueBay and other ad hoc pre-petition lenders acquired the business out of bankruptcy. The deal resulted in BlueBay investing across the capital structure, with a focus on the post-reorganisation equity. This was a position held in the Fund since inception in May 2018 as we believed in the turnaround and growth capacity of the business under new lender-appointed management; the outcome was a doubling of profitability in this five-year period and a business with what we feel are attractive sale characteristics, which led to the deal with Pritzker. The five-year investment internal rate of return was 35% and the cash-on cash return was 1.7x.

The other significant contributor from the restructuring sleeve was MPC Containers. This position benefited from the large increase in charter rates for the feeder container ship sector. We participated in the heavily discounted rights issue during summer 2020 and took some profits as the equity price rose while maintaining a core position, as we continue to believe there is upside from the fleet’s earning potential for the next few years.

The stressed sleeve was the best performing sleeve with contributors from multiple positions. Moby, the Italian ferry operator, performed well, as news that the ad-hoc group (AHG) – which includes BlueBay – had signed a Memorandum of Understanding with the company and its family owners was taken well by the market. Also, equity and bonds positions in Amigo, the guarantor-backed UK lender, delivered solid performance over the first half of 2021. Both asset prices rose significantly during the process of the Scheme of Arrangement and as the complexities became clearer, we sold down our equity as the price rose and the potential upside was more fairly reflected. The bonds rose to the mid-high 80s. We sold our bonds when the Italian Court declined to approve the Scheme and a new set of uncertainties came to the fore. Other notable contributors from the stressed sleeve, included our Mulhacen and Matalan bonds which continued to perform well. Both names have benefited from market anticipation of the gradual ending of lockdown measures and a return to more normalised trading in the medium term.

The other theme which worked well was exposure to rig operators, as higher day rates and a bullish backdrop for oil led to decent gains across multiple positions including, Borr Drilling, Floatel and Jacktel.

The negative detractors included exposure to Chinese multinational technology firm Tencent and iTraxx credit hedges from the allocation to multi asset credit. Additionally, exposure to U.S. utilities issuer Talen Energy within the core income sleeve continued to face weakness and was downgraded at the end of August from B to CCC.

Viewpoint & Outlook

COVID-19 may not be the direct cause of the latest market volatility, but it has certainly had its part to play. We continually highlighted that companies would emerge from the crisis with more debt and greater leverage, and an uncertain path as to how they would re-grow into their capital structures. While governments and lenders have ensured more of these companies have emerged from the crisis, it does not mean that many are not vulnerable to the impact of lower growth and escalating costs associated with the supply-chain and energy issues, and the knock-on effects these have on their customer base. No one wants this to lead to something much greater from a recessionary or stagflation perspective, but we do think that the floor is already set for an uptick in corporate pain that will lead to an increased opportunity set for the Fund.

Notes to Financial Statements

September 30, 2021

1. Organization

BlueBay Destra International Event-Driven Credit Fund (f/k/a/ Destra International & Event-Driven Credit Fund) (the “Fund”) was established as a Delaware statutory trust on November 13, 2017. The Fund is registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) as a non-diversified, closed-end management investment company that operates as an “interval fund” under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”). The shares of beneficial interest of the Fund (the “Shares”) are continuously offered under Rule 415 under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”). The Fund currently offers four classes of Shares, Classes I, A, L, and T. All classes of Shares have equal rights and voting privileges, except in matters affecting a single class. The Fund has adopted a fundamental policy to make a quarterly repurchase offer (“Repurchase Offer”) between 5% and 25% of the Fund’s outstanding Shares. The Fund’s inception date was May 9, 2018 (Class I Shares). The Fund’s commencement of investment operations date was on the business day following the inception date.

The Fund’s investment adviser is Destra Capital Advisors LLC (the “Adviser”), the Fund’s sub-adviser is BlueBay Asset Management LLP (the “Sub-Adviser”), and the Fund’s sub-sub-adviser is BlueBay Asset Management USA LLC (the “Sub-Sub-Adviser,”) (the Sub-Adviser, Sub-Sub-Adviser and together with the Adviser, are referred to herein as the “Advisers”). The Sub-Adviser and Sub-Sub-Adviser are wholly-owned subsidiaries of Royal Bank of Canada (“RBC”).

The Fund’s investment objective is to provide attractive total returns, consisting of income and capital appreciation. Under normal market conditions, the Fund will invest at least 80% of its total assets (including borrowings for investment purposes) in credit related instruments and/or investments that have similar economic characteristics as credit related instruments that are considered by the Fund to have the potential to provide a high level of total return. Credit related instruments include bonds, debt securities and loans issued by various U.S. and non-U.S. public- or private-sector entities, including issuers in emerging markets, derivatives and cash equivalents. There is no limit on the credit quality, duration or maturity of any investment in the Fund’s portfolio. Under normal market conditions, the Fund will invest at least 40% of its total assets in securities of non-U.S. issuers, which may include those in emerging markets.

The Fund focuses on investing in long and short positions of debt (fixed or floating rate bonds and loans) or equity securities, including exchange-traded funds, preferred stock, warrants, and options on these securities, depositary receipts such as American Depositary Receipts, and derivatives such as futures and options on futures. These investments may be traded over-the-counter or on an exchange. The Fund may invest in issuers of any size, and in U.S. and non-U.S. issuers. Under normal market conditions, the Fund’s investments in equity securities, at the time of investment, will be limited to 20% of its total assets.

The Fund is an investment company and follows the accounting and reporting guidance under Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 946, Financial Services — Investment Companies. The following is a summary of significant accounting policies consistently followed by the Fund in the preparation of its financial statements.

The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. 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 statement of assets and liabilities. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

(b) Investment Income, Expenses and Distributions

Investment income, expenses other than class specific expenses and realized and unrealized gains and losses are allocated daily to each class of Shares based upon the proportion of the net asset value (“NAV”) of each class of Shares at the beginning of each day. Investment transactions are recorded on a trade-date basis. Interest income and expenses are accrued daily. Dividend income and distributions to shareholders are recorded on the ex-dividend date. The Fund distributes net investment income, if any, quarterly and net realized gains (net of any capital loss carryovers) annually. Discounts and premiums on securities purchased are accreted and amortized over the lives of the respective securities. Withholding taxes on foreign interest have been provided in accordance with the Fund’s understanding of the applicable country’s tax rules and rates.

(c) Cash, Cash Equivalents and Restricted Cash

Cash and cash equivalents include U.S. dollar deposits at bank accounts at amounts which may exceed insured limits. The Fund is subject to risk to the extent that the institutions may be unable to fulfill their obligations. As of September 30, 2021, the Fund has restricted cash in the amount of $670,000. The restricted cash represents deposits held at brokers.

(d) Investment Valuation

The Adviser, with the Sub-Adviser and Sub-Sub-Adviser, determines the values of the Fund’s assets in good faith pursuant to the Fund’s valuation policy and consistently applied valuation process, which was developed by the audit committee of the Fund’s board of trustees (the “Board”) and approved by the Board. Portfolio securities and other assets for which market quotes are readily available are valued at market value. In circumstances where market quotes are not readily available, the Board has adopted methods for determining the fair value of such securities and other assets and has delegated the responsibility for applying the valuation methods to the Adviser. On a quarterly basis, the Board reviews the valuation determinations made with respect to the Fund’s investments during the preceding quarter and evaluates whether such determinations were made in a manner consistent with the Fund’s valuation process.

In determining NAV, portfolio instruments generally are valued using prices provided by independent pricing services or obtained from other sources, such as broker-dealer quotations. Exchange-traded instruments, including futures contracts, generally are valued at the last reported sales price or official closing price on an exchange, if available. Independent pricing services typically value non-exchange-traded instruments utilizing a range of market-based inputs and assumptions, including readily available market quotations obtained from broker-dealers making markets in such instruments, cash flows, and transactions for comparable instruments. In pricing certain instruments, the pricing services may consider information about an instrument’s issuer or market activity provided by the Fund’s Sub-Adviser. Non-U.S. securities and currency are valued in U.S. dollars based on non-U.S. currency exchange rate quotations supplied by an independent quotation service.

For non-U.S. traded securities whose principal local markets close before the close of the NYSE, the Fund may adjust the local closing price based upon such factors as developments in non-U.S. markets, the performance of U.S. securities markets and the performance of instruments trading in U.S. markets that represent non-U.S. securities. The Fund may rely on an independent fair valuation service in making any such fair value determinations. If the Fund holds portfolio instruments that are primarily listed on non-U.S. exchanges, the value of such instruments may change on days when shareholders will not be able to purchase or redeem the Fund’s Shares.

In certain situations, the Adviser, with input from the Sub-Adviser and Sub-Sub-Adviser, may use the fair value of a portfolio instrument if such portfolio instrument is not priced by a pricing service, if the pricing service’s price is deemed unreliable or if events occur after the close of a securities market (usually a foreign market) and before the Fund values its assets that would materially affect NAV. A portfolio instrument that is fair valued may be valued at a price higher or lower than actual market quotations or the value determined by other funds using their own fair valuation procedures. Because non-U.S. portfolio instruments may trade on days when Fund Shares are not priced, the value of portfolio instruments held by the Fund can change on days when Fund Shares cannot be redeemed. The Adviser expects to use fair value pricing primarily when a portfolio instrument is not priced by a pricing service or a pricing service’s price is deemed unreliable.

Due to the subjective nature of fair value pricing, the Fund’s value for a particular portfolio instrument may be different from the last price determined by the pricing service or the last bid or ask price in the market.

Certain short-term instruments maturing within 60 days or less are valued at amortized cost, which approximates fair value. The value of the securities of other open-end funds held by the Fund, if any, will be calculated using the NAV of such open-end funds, and the prospectuses for such open-end funds explain the circumstances under which they use fair value pricing and the effects of using fair value pricing.

Below is a description of factors that may be considered when valuing securities for which no active secondary market exists:

Valuation of fixed income investments, such as loans and debt securities, depends upon a number of factors, including prevailing interest rates for like securities, expected volatility in future interest rates, call features, put features and other relevant terms of the debt. For investments without readily available market prices, these factors may be incorporated into discounted cash flow models to arrive at fair value. Other factors that may be considered include the borrower’s ability to adequately service its debt, the fair market value of the portfolio company in relation to the face amount of its outstanding debt and the quality of the collateral securing its debt investments.

Asset-backed securities are generally issued as pass-through certificates or as debt instruments. Asset-backed securities issued as pass-through certificates represent undivided fractional ownership interests in an underlying pool of assets. Asset-backed securities issued as debt instruments, which are also known as collateralized obligations, are typically issued as the debt of a special purpose entity organized solely for the purpose of owning such assets and issuing such debt. Asset-backed securities are often backed by a pool of assets representing the obligations of a number of different parties. The yield characteristics of certain asset-backed securities may differ from traditional debt securities. One such major difference is that all or a principal part of the obligations may be prepaid at any time because the underlying assets (i.e., loans) may be prepaid at any time. As a result, a decrease in interest rates in the market may result in increases in the level of prepayments as borrowers, particularly mortgagors, refinance and repay their loans. An increased prepayment rate with respect to an asset-backed security will have the effect of shortening the maturity of the security. In addition, the Fund may subsequently have to reinvest the proceeds at lower interest rates. If the Fund has purchased such an asset-backed security at a premium, a faster than anticipated prepayment rate could result in a loss of principal to the extent of the premium paid. For convertible debt securities, fair value will generally approximate the fair value of the debt plus the fair value of an option to purchase the underlying security (the security into which the debt may convert) at the conversion price. To value such an option, a standard option pricing model may be used.

For private company equity interests, various factors may be considered in determining fair value, including but not limited to multiples of earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (“EBITDA”), cash flows, net income, revenues or, in limited instances, book value or liquidation value. All of these factors may be subject to adjustments based upon the particular circumstances of a private company or the Fund’s actual investment position. For example, adjustments to EBITDA may take into account compensation to previous owners or an acquisition, recapitalization, restructuring or other related items.

Other factors that may be considered in valuing securities include private merger and acquisition statistics, public trading multiples discounted for illiquidity and other factors, valuations implied by third-party investments in the private companies, the acquisition price of such investment or industry practices in determining fair value. The Adviser, with the Sub-Adviser and Sub-Sub-Adviser, may also consider the size and scope of a private company and its specific strengths and weaknesses, and may apply discounts or premiums, where and as appropriate, due to the higher (or lower) financial risk and/ or the size of the private company relative to comparable firms, as well as such other factors as the Adviser, in consultation with any third-party valuation or pricing service, if applicable, may consider relevant in assessing fair value.

If the Fund receives warrants or other equity securities at nominal or no additional cost in connection with an investment in a debt security, the cost basis in the investment will be allocated between the debt securities and any such warrants or other equity securities received at the time of origination. Such warrants or other equity securities will subsequently be valued at fair value.

Portfolio securities that carry certain restrictions on sale will typically be valued at a discount from the public market value of the security, where applicable.

If events materially affecting the price of foreign portfolio securities occur between the time when their price was last determined on such foreign securities exchange or market and the time when the Fund’s NAV was last calculated (for example, movements in certain U.S. securities indices which demonstrate strong correlation to movements in certain foreign securities markets), such securities may be valued at their fair value as determined in good faith in accordance with procedures established by the Board. For purposes of calculating NAV, all assets and liabilities initially expressed in foreign currencies will be converted into U.S. dollars at prevailing exchange rates as may be determined in good faith by the Adviser, under the supervision of the Board.

Swaps typically will be valued using valuations provided by a third-party pricing service. Such pricing service valuations generally will be based on the present value of fixed and projected floating rate cash flows over the term of the swap contract and, in the case of credit default swaps, generally will be based on credit spread quotations obtained from broker-dealers and expected default recovery rates determined by the third-party pricing service using proprietary models. Future cash flows will be discounted to their present value using swap rates provided by electronic data services or by broker-dealers.

(e) Commitments and Contingencies

In the normal course of business, the Fund may enter into contracts that contain a variety of representations which provide general indemnifications for certain liabilities. The Fund’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown. However, since its commencement of operations, the Fund has not had claims or losses pursuant to these contracts and expects the risk of loss to be remote.

(f) Derivatives

Futures Contracts — The Fund may purchase futures contracts to manage cash flows, enhance yield, or to potentially reduce transaction costs. Upon entering into a futures contract with a broker, the Fund is required to deposit in a segregated account a specified amount of cash or U.S. government securities. Futures contracts are valued daily and unrealized gains or losses are recorded in a “variation margin” account. Daily, the Fund receives from, or pays to, the broker a specified amount of cash based upon changes in the variation margin account. When a contract is closed, the Fund recognizes a realized gain or loss. Futures contracts have market risks, including the risk that the change in the value of the contract may not correlate with changes in the value of the underlying securities.

Purchasing a futures contract creates an obligation to take delivery of the specific type of financial instrument at a specific future time at a specific price for contracts that require physical delivery, or net payment for cash-settled contracts. Engaging in transactions in futures contracts involves risk of loss to the Fund. No assurance can be given that a liquid market will exist for any particular futures contract at any particular time. All terms of futures contracts are set forth in the rules of the exchange on which the futures contracts are traded. Many futures exchanges and boards of trade limit the amount of fluctuation permitted in futures contract prices during a single trading day. Once the daily limit has been reached in a particular contract, no trades may be made that day at a price beyond that limit or trading may be suspended for specified periods during the trading day. Futures contract prices could move to the limit for several consecutive trading days with little or no trading, preventing prompt liquidation of futures positions and potentially subjecting the Fund to substantial losses. Successful use of futures also is subject to the Adviser’s ability to predict correctly the direction of movements in the relevant market, and, to the extent the transaction is entered into for hedging purposes, to determine the appropriate correlation between the transaction being hedged and the price movements of the futures contract.

Swap Contracts — The Fund may engage in various swap transactions, including forward rate and interest rate agreements, primarily to manage risk, or as alternatives to direct investments. The Fund may also engage in credit default swaps, which involve the exchange of a periodic premium for protection against a defined credit event (such as payment default, refinancing or bankruptcy). The Fund engaged in credit default swaps to protect against credit events and interest rate swaps to hedge currency risks.

Under the terms of a credit default swap contract, one party acts as a guarantor receiving a periodic payment that is a fixed percentage applied to a notional amount. In return, the party agrees to purchase the notional amount of the underlying instrument, at par, if a credit event occurs during the term of the contract. The Fund may enter into credit default swaps in which the Fund acts as guarantor (a seller of protection) and may enter into credit default swaps in which the counterparty acts as guarantor (a buyer of protection). Premiums paid to or by the Fund are accrued daily and included in realized gain (loss) on swaps. The contracts are marked-to-market daily using fair value estimates provided by an independent pricing service. Changes in value are recorded as net change in unrealized appreciation/(depreciation) on the statement of operations. Unrealized gains are reported as an asset and unrealized losses are reported as a liability on the statement of assets and liabilities. Gains or losses are realized upon termination of the contracts. The risk of loss under a swap contract may exceed the amount recorded as an asset or a liability. The notional amount of a swap contract is the reference amount pursuant to which the counterparties make payments. For swaps in which the referenced obligation is an index, in the event of default of any debt security included in the corresponding index, the Fund pays or receives the percentage of the corresponding index that the defaulted security comprises (1) multiplied by the notional value and (2) multiplied by the ratio of one minus the ratio of the market value of the defaulted debt security to its par value.

Interest rate swaps are agreements between two parties to exchange cash flows based on a notional principal amount. The Fund may elect to pay a fixed rate and receive a floating rate or receive a fixed rate and pay a floating rate on a notional principal amount. The net interest received or paid on interest rate swap agreements is accrued daily as interest income/expense. Interest rate swaps are marked-to-market daily using fair value estimates provided by an independent pricing service. Changes in value, including accrued interest, are recorded as net change in unrealized appreciation/(depreciation) on the statement of operations. Unrealized gains are reported as an asset and unrealized losses are reported as a liability on the statement of assets and liabilities. Gains or losses are realized upon termination of the contracts. The risk of loss under a swap contract may exceed the amount recorded as an asset or a liability. As of September 30, 2021, the Fund did not have any outstanding interest rate swap contracts.

Risks associated with swap contracts include changes in the returns of underlying instruments, failure of the counterparties to perform under the contracts’ terms and the possible lack of liquidity with respect to the contracts. Credit default swaps can involve greater risks than if an investor had invested in the reference obligation directly since, in addition to general market risks, credit default swaps are subject to counterparty credit risk, leverage risk, hedging risk, correlation risk and liquidity risk. The Fund discloses swap contracts on a gross basis, with no netting of contracts held with the same counterparty. As of September 30, 2021, the Fund did not have any outstanding credit default swap contracts.

Foreign Exchange Contracts — The Fund may enter into foreign currency exchange contracts. The Fund may enter into these contracts for the purchase or sale of a specific foreign currency at a fixed price on a future date to hedge various investments, for investment purposes, for risk management and/or in a manner intended to increase income or gain to the Fund. All foreign currency exchange contracts are market-to-market daily at the applicable translation rates resulting in unrealized gains or losses. Realized gains or losses are recorded at the time the foreign currency exchange contract is offset by entering into a closing transaction, or by the delivery, or receipt, of the currency. Risk may arise upon entering into these contracts from the potential inability of counterparties to meet the terms of their contracts and from unanticipated movements in the value of a foreign currency relative to the U.S. dollar.

Options — The Fund may purchase put and call options on currencies or securities. A put option gives the purchaser the right to compel the writer of the option to purchase from the option holder an underlying currency or security or its equivalent at a specified price at any time during the option period. In contrast, a call option gives the purchaser the right to buy the underlying currency or security covered by the option or its equivalent from the writer of the option at the stated exercise price.

As a holder of a put option, the Fund will have the right to sell the currencies or securities underlying the option and as the holder of a call option, the Fund will have the right to purchase the currencies or securities underlying the option, in each case at their exercise price at any time prior to the option’s expiration date. The Fund may seek to terminate its option positions prior to their expiration by entering into closing transactions. The ability of the Fund to enter into a closing sale transaction depends on the existence of a liquid secondary market. There can be no assurance that a closing purchase or sale transaction can be affected when the Fund so desires. The Fund may close out a position when writing options by purchasing an option on the same security with the same exercise price and expiration date as the option that it has previously written on the security. In such a case, the Fund will realize a profit or loss if the amount paid to purchase an option is less or more than the amount received from the sale of the option.

The hours of trading for options may not conform to the hours during which the underlying securities are traded. To the extent that the options markets close before the markets for the underlying securities, significant price and rate movements can take place in the underlying markets that cannot be reflected in the options markets. The purchase of options is a highly specialized activity which involves investment techniques and risks different from those associated with ordinary portfolio securities transactions. The purchase of options involves the risk that the premium and transaction costs paid by the Fund in purchasing an option will be lost as a result of unanticipated movements in prices of the securities on which the option is based. Imperfect correlation between the options and securities markets may detract from the effectiveness of attempted hedging. Options transactions may result in significantly higher transaction costs and portfolio turnover for the Fund.

(g) Restricted Securities

Restricted securities are securities that may be resold only upon registration under federal securities laws or in transactions exempt from such registration. In some cases, the issuer of restricted securities has agreed to register such securities for resale, at the issuer’s expense either upon demand by the Fund or in connection with another registered offering of the securities. Many restricted securities may be resold in the secondary market in transactions exempt from registration. Such restricted securities may be determined to be liquid under criteria established by the Board. The restricted securities may be valued at the price provided by dealers in the secondary market or, if no market prices are available, the fair value as determined in good faith using methods approved by the Board.

(h) Foreign Currency

The accounting records of the Fund are maintained in U.S. dollars. All assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollars based on the rate of exchange of such currencies against U.S. dollars on the date of valuation. Purchases and sales of securities, income and expenses are translated at the rate of exchange quoted on the respective date that such transactions are recorded. The Fund does 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.

Reported net realized foreign exchange gains or losses arise from sales of portfolio securities, sales and maturities of short-term securities, 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 Fund’s 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 value of assets and liabilities other than investments in securities at each reporting period, resulting from changes in the exchange rate.

3. Fair Value Measurement

U.S. GAAP defines fair value, establishes a three-tier framework for measuring fair value based on a hierarchy of inputs, and expands disclosure about fair value measurements. It also provides guidance on determining when there has been a significant decrease in the volume and level of activity for an asset or liability, when a transaction is not orderly and how that information must be incorporated into a fair value measurement. The hierarchy distinguishes between market data obtained from independent sources (observable inputs) and the Fund’s own market assumptions (unobservable inputs).

These inputs are used in determining the fair value of the Fund’s investments. These inputs are summarized in the three broad levels listed below:

•       Level 1 – unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities that the Fund has the ability to access.

•       Level 2 – other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc. and quoted prices for identical or similar assets in markets that are not active).

•       Level 3 – significant unobservable inputs (including the Fund’s own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments).

4. Investment Management

The Fund has entered into an investment management agreement (the “Investment Management Agreement”) with the Adviser. Subject to the oversight of the Fund’s Board, the Adviser is responsible for managing the Fund’s business affairs and providing day-to-day administrative services to the Fund either directly or through others selected by it for the Fund.

Under the Investment Management Agreement, the Adviser is entitled to a management fee, calculated and payable quarterly in arrears, at the annual rate of 1.75% of the Fund’s average daily Managed Assets during such period (the “Management Fee”). “Managed Assets” means the total assets of the Fund (including any assets attributable to money borrowed for investment purposes) minus the sum of the Fund’s accrued liabilities (other than money borrowed for investment purposes).

The Fund and Adviser have entered into an investment sub-advisory agreement (the “Sub-Advisory Agreement”) with the Sub-Adviser. Under the Sub-Advisory Agreement, the Sub-Adviser will receive a sub-advisory fee (the “Sub-Advisory Fee”, payable quarterly by the Adviser out of the Management Fee) at the rates set forth below (on an annualized basis) of the Fund’s average daily Managed Assets:

Managed Assets of the Fund	Sub-Advisory Fee
$1 to $50,000,000	1.75	%
Over $50,000,000 to $100,000,000	1.225	%
Over $100,000,000 to $150,000,000	1.1375	%
Over $150,000,000 to $250,000,000	1.05	%
In excess of $250,000,000	0.875	%

The Sub-Adviser has entered into an investment sub-sub-advisory agreement (the “Sub-Sub-Advisory Agreement”) with the Sub-Sub-Adviser. Under the Sub-Sub-Advisory Agreement, the Sub-Sub-Adviser will receive a sub-sub-advisory fee equal to the costs incurred by the Sub-Sub-Adviser in providing advisory services to the Fund plus a margin of 10% of such costs.

5. Expense Limitation

Effective November 19, 2018, the Adviser and the Fund have entered into an expense limitation and reimbursement agreement (the “Expense Limitation Agreement”) under which the Adviser has agreed to reimburse and/or pay or absorb, on a quarterly basis, the “ordinary operating expenses” (as defined below) of the Fund to the extent that such expenses exceed 0.50% per annum of the Fund’s average daily net assets (the “Expense Limitation”). The Expense Limitation may be adjusted for different classes of Shares to account for class-specific expenses.

Prior to November 19, 2018, the Adviser and the Fund had an expense limitation and reimbursement agreement under which the Adviser had agreed to waive its Management Fee and/or pay, on a quarterly basis, both the “ordinary operating expenses” (as defined below) and the Management Fee of the Fund to the extent that such total expenses exceeded 2.25% per annum of the Fund’s average daily Managed Assets.

In consideration of the Expense Limitation Agreement, the Fund has agreed to repay the Adviser pro rata in the amount of any Fund expense paid or waived by it, subject to the limitations that: (1) the reimbursement for expenses will be made only if payable not more than three years following the date such payment or waiver was made; and (2) the reimbursement may not be made if it would cause the Fund’s then-current Expense Limitation, if any, and the Expense Limitation that was in effect at the time when the Adviser reimbursed, paid or absorbed the ordinary operating expenses that are the subject of the repayment, to be exceeded. Unless earlier terminated by the Board, the Expense Limitation Agreement will remain in effect until July 9, 2031, and will automatically continue in effect for successive twelve-month periods thereafter. The Adviser may not terminate the Expense Limitation Agreement during the initial term. After the initial term, either the Board or the Adviser may terminate the Expense Limitation Agreement upon 30 days’ written notice. For the purposes of the Expense Limitation Agreement, “ordinary operating expenses” consist of all ordinary expenses of the Fund, including administration fees, transfer agent fees, organization and offering expenses, fees paid to the Fund’s trustees, legal fees related to the organization and offering of the Fund, administrative services expenses, and related costs associated with legal, regulatory compliance and investor relations, but excluding the following: (a) Management Fee, (b) portfolio transaction and other investment-related costs (including brokerage commissions, dealer and underwriter spreads, commitment fees on leverage facilities, prime broker fees and expenses, and dividend expenses related to short sales), (c) interest expense and other financing costs, (d) taxes, (e) distribution and/or shareholder servicing fees, if any, (f) acquired fund fees and expenses, and (g) extraordinary expenses.

For the year ended September 30, 2021, the Adviser waived expenses totaling $420,151 that are subject to reimbursement. As of September 30, 2021, the following amounts are subject to recapture by the Adviser by the following dates:

September 30, 2022	September 30, 2023	September 30, 2024
$    520,927	$   399,569	$   420,151

6. Capital Stock

The Fund engages in a continuous offering of Shares under Rule 415 under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. The Fund has registered a total of 5,040,000 Shares and is authorized as a Delaware statutory trust to issue an unlimited number of Shares in all classes, with a par value of $0.001. The Fund is offering to sell, through its distributor, Destra Capital Investments LLC (the “Distributor”) its Shares at the then-current NAV per Share. In addition, certain institutions (including banks, trust companies, brokers and investment advisers) may be authorized to accept, on behalf of the Fund, purchase and exchange orders and repurchase requests placed by or on behalf of their customers, and if approved by the Fund, may designate other financial intermediaries to accept such orders. The Distributor is not required to sell any specific number or dollar amount of the Fund’s Shares, but will use its best efforts to solicit orders for the sale of the Shares. The minimum initial investment (waived in certain circumstances) for Class I, A, L, and T Shares is $100,000, $2,500, $2,500, and $2,500 respectively. There is no minimum for subsequent investments. All Share purchases are subject to approval of the Adviser. The minimum investment requirement may be waived in the Fund’s sole discretion. Monies received will be invested promptly and no arrangements have been made to place such monies in an escrow, trust or similar account.

The Shares have no history of public trading, nor is it intended that the Shares will be listed on a public exchange at this time, if ever. No secondary market is expected to develop for the Fund’s Shares; liquidity for the Shares will be provided only through quarterly Repurchase Offers for no less than 5% and no more than 25% of the Fund’s outstanding Shares pursuant to Rule 23c-3 of the 1940 Act, and there is no guarantee that an investor will be able to sell all the Shares that the investor desires to sell in the Repurchase Offer. If shareholders tender more than the Repurchase Offer amount

27

Notes to Financial Statements (continued)

September 30, 2021

for any given Repurchase Offer, the Fund may repurchase up to an additional 2% of the outstanding Shares. If Fund shareholders tender more Shares than the Fund decides to repurchase, the Fund will repurchase the Shares on a pro rata basis, subject to limited exceptions. Due to these restrictions, an investor should consider an investment in the Fund to be of limited liquidity. Investing in the Fund’s Shares may be speculative and involves a high degree of risk, including the risks associated with leverage.

During the year ended September 30, 2021, the Fund had four Repurchase Offers as follows:

Repurchase Offer Notice	Repurchase Request Deadline	Repurchase Offer Amount		% of Shares Repurchased		Number of Shares Repurchased
December 18, 2020	January 22, 2021	5	%	0.0	%	60
March 18, 2021	April 22, 2021	25	%	25.0	%	598,992
June 17, 2021	July 22, 2021	25	%	23.9	%	435,781
September 17, 2021	October 22, 2021	25	%	9.4	%	134,088

7. Distribution and Shareholder Servicing Plans

Class L and Class T Shares have adopted a distribution plan (the “Distribution Plan”) in accordance with Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act. The Plan is a compensation type plan that permits the payment at an annual rate of up to 0.25% and 0.50% of the average daily net assets of Class L and Class T Shares, respectively. Payments are made to the Distributor, who may make ongoing payments to financial intermediaries based on the value of Shares held by such intermediaries’ customers.

Class A, Class L and Class T Shares have adopted a shareholder servicing plan (the “Servicing Plan”) under which the Fund may compensate financial industry professionals or firms for providing ongoing services in respect of customers who own Class A, Class L or Class T Shares of the Fund. The Servicing Plan permits the payment at an annual rate of up to 0.25% of the average daily net assets of Class A, Class L and Class T Shares, respectively.

8. Investment Transactions

Purchases and sales of investments, excluding short-term U.S. government securities and short-term obligations, for the year ended September 30, 2021, were $43,588,139 and $66,844,494, respectively.

9. Revolving Credit Facility

On August 13, 2018, the Fund entered into a secured, revolving line of credit facility with BNP Paribas (the “Credit Facility”) with no stated maturity date. The Fund may borrow an amount up to the lesser of the Credit Facility maximum commitment financing of $500,000,000 or one-third of the value of its total assets. The interest rate on borrowings from the Credit Facility is equal to 3-month LIBOR plus 0.90% per annum. During the year ended September 30, 2021, there was no principal balance outstanding.

10. Asset Coverage

Under the provisions of the 1940 Act, the Fund is permitted to issue senior securities, including debt securities and preferred stock, and borrow from banks or other financial institutions, provided that the Fund satisfies certain asset coverage requirements. With respect to senior securities representing indebtedness, such as the Credit Facility, the Fund is required to have asset coverage of at least 300%, as measured at the time of borrowing and calculated as the ratio of the Fund’s total assets, less all liabilities and indebtedness not represented by senior securities, over the aggregate amount of the Fund’s outstanding senior securities representing indebtedness. If the Fund’s asset coverage declines below 300%, the Fund would be prohibited under the 1940 Act from incurring additional debt or making certain distributions to its shareholders.

Please refer to the Fund’s Financial Highlights for summary of the Fund’s asset coverage with respect to senior securities.

Offsetting of Assets and Liabilities — Disclosures about offsetting assets and liabilities require an entity to disclose information about offsetting and related arrangements to enable users of its financial statements to understand the effect of those arrangements on its financial position. As of September 30, 2021, no master netting arrangements exist related to the Fund. The Fund’s SAL presents derivative instruments on a gross basis, therefore, no net amounts and no offset amounts exist within the SAL to present below. Gross amounts of the derivative instruments, amounts related to financial instruments/cash collateral not offset in the SAL and net amounts are presented below:

12. Federal Tax Information

The Fund intends to qualify as a “regulated investment company” under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986. If so qualified, the Fund will not be subject to federal income tax to the extent it distributes substantially all of its net investment income and capital gains to shareholders. Therefore, no federal income tax provision is required.

The timing and character of income and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance with income tax regulations, which may differ from U.S. GAAP.

To the extent that differences arise that are permanent in nature, such amounts are reclassified within the capital accounts, on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities, based on their Federal tax basis treatment; temporary differences do not require reclassification and had no impact on the NAV of the Fund.

The Fund complies with FASB interpretation Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes which provides guidance for how uncertain tax provisions should be recognized, measured, presented and disclosed in the financial statements. Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes requires the affirmative evaluation of tax positions taken or expected to be taken in the course of preparing the Fund’s tax returns to determine whether it is “more-likely-than-not,” (i.e., greater than 50 percent) of being sustained by the applicable tax authority. Tax positions not deemed to meet the more-likely-than-not threshold may result in a tax benefit or expense in the current period.

Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes requires management of the Fund to analyze all open tax years, as defined by the statutes of limitations, for all major jurisdictions, which includes federal and certain states. Open tax years are those that are open for exam by the taxing authorities (i.e., the last three tax years and the interim tax period since then). The Fund has no examination in progress during the year ended September 30, 2021. For all open tax years and all major taxing jurisdictions through the end of the reporting period, management of the Fund reviewed all tax positions taken or expected to be taken in the preparation of the Fund’s tax returns and concluded that Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes resulted in no effect on the Fund’s reported net assets or results of operations as of and during the year ended September 30, 2021. Management of the Fund also is not aware of any tax positions for which it is reasonably possible that the total amounts of recognized tax benefits will significantly change in the next twelve months.

At September 30, 2021, gross unrealized appreciation/(depreciation) of investments, based on cost for federal income tax purposes were as follows:

Cost of investments	$	39,611,315
Gross unrealized appreciation		3,878,974
Gross unrealized depreciation		(949,029	)
Net unrealized appreciation	$	2,929,945

The difference between cost amounts for financial statement and federal income tax purposes, if any, is due primarily to timing differences in recognizing certain gains and losses in security transactions.

U.S. GAAP requires that certain components of net assets be reclassified between financial and tax reporting. These reclassifications have no effect on net assets or NAV per share.

For the year ended September 30, 2021, permanent differences in book and tax accounting have been reclassified to paid-in capital and distributable earnings as follows:

Paid-in Capital	Distributable Earnings
$    (31,521)	$    31,521

Permanent differences are due to non-deductible expenses from partnerships.

As of September 30, 2021, the components of distributable earnings on a tax basis was as follows:

Undistributed ordinary income	$	4,585,453
Undistributed long-term capital gains		5,300,068
Tax distributable earnings		9,885,521
Accumulated capital and other losses		—
Unrealized appreciation other		—
Unrealized appreciation on foreign currency translations		187
Unrealized appreciation on investments		2,929,945
Total distributable earnings	$	12,815,653

Under current tax law, net capital losses realized after October 31st and net ordinary losses incurred after December 31st may be deferred and treated as occurring on the first day of the following fiscal year. For the tax year ending September 30, 2021, the Fund did not have any qualified post-October capital losses or post-December ordinary losses.

The tax character of distributions paid during the years ended September 30, 2020 and September 30, 2021 was as follows:

	2021		2020
Distributions paid from:
Ordinary income	$	1,780,345	$	1,280,471
Return of capital		—		1,650,758
Net long-term capital gains		—		146,993
Total distributions paid	$	1,780,345	$	3,078,222

To the extent that the Fund may realize future net capital gains, those gains will be offset by any of its unused capital loss carry forward. Future capital loss carry forward utilization in any given year may be subject to Internal Revenue Code limitations.

The Fund utilized all of its available $853,491 in capital loss carry forward during the year ended September 30, 2021.

13. Offering Price Per Share

A maximum front-end sales load of 5.75% for Class A Shares, 4.25% for Class L and 3.00% for Class T Shares is imposed on purchases. Class I Shares are not subject to a sales load. For the year ended September 30, 2021, there were $27,030 in sales charges received by broker dealers and $0 in sales charges received by affiliates.

14. Beneficial Ownership

The beneficial ownership, either directly or indirectly, of more than 25% of the voting securities of the Fund creates a presumption of control under Section 2(a)(9) of the 1940 Act. As of September 30, 2021, RBC owned 93% of the Fund.

15. Trustees and Officers

The Destra Fund Complex (consisting of the Fund, the Destra Flaherty & Crumrine Preferred and Income Fund and Destra Granahan Small Cap Advantage Fund, both a series of the Destra Investment Trust, and the Destra Multi-Alternative Fund) pays each Independent Trustee a retainer of $39,000 per year, and the Chairman of the Board a retainer of $46,000 per year for their services in this capacity. Each fund in the Destra Fund Complex pays a portion of the retainer received by each Trustee, which is allocated annually across the Destra Fund Complex based on each fund’s respective net assets as of December 31 of the preceding year. Trustees are also reimbursed for travel-related and authorized business expenses. The Fund does not pay compensation to Trustees who also serve in an executive officer capacity for the Fund or the Advisers.

Employees of PINE Advisor Solutions, LLC (“PINE”) serve as the Fund’s Chief Financial Officer and Assistant Treasurer. PINE receives an annual base fee for the services provided to the Fund. PINE is reimbursed for certain out-of-pocket expenses by the Fund. Service fees paid by the Fund for the year ended September 30, 2021 are disclosed in the Statement of Operations as chief financial officer fees.

The Fund’s Chief Compliance Officer monitors and tests the policies and procedures of the Fund in conjunction with requirements under Rule 38a-1 under the 1940 Act and receives an annual base fee. At a special meeting of the Board held on April 26, 2021, the Board accepted the resignation of Jane Hong Shissler as Chief Compliance Officer effective on or about May 14, 2021. In conjunction with the resignation, the Board approved the appointment of Cory Gossard, an employee of PINE, as the new Chief Compliance Officer of the Fund. Consequently, the fees paid by the Fund for the year ended September 30, 2021, as disclosed in the Statement of Operations, reflect compensation (i) paid to Ms. Shissler from October 1, 2020 to approximately May 14, 2021 and (ii) paid to PINE that is attributable to the services provided by Mr. Gossard as Chief Compliance Officer to the Fund from approximately May 14, 2021 to September 30, 2021.

16. Other Service Providers

UMB Fund Services serves as the Fund’s Administrator, Accounting Agent and Transfer Agent. The Bank of New York Mellon serves as the Custodian for the Fund.

17. Principal Risks

Risk is inherent in all investing. The value of your investment in the Fund, as well as the amount of return you receive on your investment, may fluctuate significantly from day to day and over time. You may lose part or all of your investment in the Fund or your investment may not perform as well as other similar investments. The following is a summary description of certain risks of investing in the Fund.

Recent Market and Economic Developments — Certain impacts to public health conditions particular to the coronavirus (COVID-19) may have a significant negative impact on the operations and profitability of the Fund’s investments. The extent of the impact to the financial performance of the Fund will depend on future developments, including (i) the duration and spread of the outbreak, (ii) the restrictions and advisories, (iii) the effects on the financial markets, and (iv) the effects on the economy overall, all of which are highly uncertain and cannot be predicted.

Investment and Market Risk —An investment in the Shares is subject to investment risk, including the possible loss of the entire principal amount invested. An investment in the Shares represents an indirect investment in the portfolio of senior loans, corporate bonds and other securities and loans owned by the Fund, and the value of these securities and loans may fluctuate, sometimes rapidly and unpredictably.

Credit Risk —Credit risk is the risk that an issuer of a security may be unable or unwilling to make dividend, interest and principal payments when due and the related risk that the value of a security may decline because of concerns about the issuer’s ability or willingness to make such payments. Credit risk may be heightened for the Fund because it will invest in below investment grade securities.

Interest Rate Risk —If interest rates increase, the value of the Fund’s investments generally will decline. Securities with longer maturities tend to produce higher yields, but are more sensitive to changes in interest rates and are subject to greater fluctuations in value. The risks associated with increasing interest rates are heightened given that interest rates are near historic lows, but are expected to increase in the future with unpredictable effects on the markets and the Fund’s investments.

Event-Driven Strategy Risk —Generally, the success of an event-driven strategy depends on the success of the prediction of whether the anticipated corporate event occurs or a successful outcome is achieved as a result of the event. Investing in or seeking exposure to companies in anticipation of an event carries the risk that the event may not happen or may take considerable time to unfold, it may happen in modified or conditional form, or the market may react differently than expected for the event, in which case the Fund may experience loss or fail to achieve a desired rate of return.

Senior Loans Risk — Senior loans are subject to the risk of non-payment of scheduled interest or principal. Such non-payment would result in a reduction of income to the Fund, a reduction in the value of the investment and a potential decrease in the net asset value of the Shares. The liquidation value of any collateral securing a senior loan may not satisfy the borrower’s obligation in the event of non-payment of scheduled interest or principal payments. Such collateral may also not be readily liquid.

32

Bluebay Destra International Event-Driven Credit Fund

Notes to Financial Statements (continued)

September 30, 2021

Subordinated Loans Risk — In addition to risks similar to those of senior loans, subordinated loans do not have the first priority lien on underlying collateral of the loan and any claims will be subordinated to those lienholders with a higher claim. The cash flow of the borrower and property securing the loan or debt, if any, may be insufficient to meet scheduled payments after giving effect to the senior obligations of the borrower.

Covenant-Lite Loans Risk — Some of the loans in which the Fund may invest, or get exposure to through its investments in structured securities, may be “covenant-lite,” which means the obligation contains fewer maintenance covenants than other obligations, or no maintenance covenants, and may not include terms which allow the lender to monitor the performance of the borrower and declare a default if certain criteria are breached.

Corporate Bond Risk — The market value of a corporate bond generally may be expected to rise and fall inversely with interest rates and intermediate- and longer-term corporate bonds are generally more sensitive to changes in interest rates. The market value of a corporate bond also may be affected by factors directly related to the borrower, such as investors’ perceptions of the creditworthiness of the borrower, the borrower’s financial performance, perceptions of the borrower in the market place, performance of management of the borrower, the borrower’s capital structure and use of financial leverage and demand for the borrower’s goods and services. There is a risk that the borrowers of corporate bonds may not be able to meet their obligations on interest or principal payments at the time called for by an instrument.

Non-U.S. Securities Risk — The Fund’s investments in non-U.S. securities may result in the Fund experiencing more rapid and extreme changes in value than a fund that invests exclusively in securities of U.S. companies, due to less liquid markets, and adverse economic, political, diplomatic, financial, and regulatory events. Foreign governments also may impose limits on investment and repatriation and impose taxes. Any of these events could cause the value of the Fund’s investments to decline.

Mezzanine Investments Risk — The Fund may invest in mezzanine debt instruments that are expected to be unsecured and made in companies with capital structures having significant indebtedness ranking ahead of the investments, all or a significant portion of which may be secured.

Collateralized Loan Obligations (CLOs) Risk — (i) The underlying obligations of CLOs in which the Fund invests will include subordinated loans; (ii) debt tranches of other CLOs; and (iii) equity securities incidental to investments in senior loans. CLOs are typically privately offered and sold and may be thinly traded or have a limited trading market. As a result, investments in CLOs may be characterized by the Fund as illiquid securities.

Asset-Backed Securities Risk — Asset-backed securities may be particularly sensitive to changes in prevailing interest rates. Payment of interest and repayment of principal on asset-backed securities is largely dependent upon the cash flows generated by the assets backing the securities and, in certain cases, supported by letters of credit, surety bonds or other credit enhancements.

Below Investment Grade Rating Risk — Debt instruments that are rated below investment grade are often referred to as “high yield” securities or “junk bonds.” Junk bonds and senior loans and similar instruments often are considered to be speculative with respect to the capacity of the borrower to timely repay principal and pay interest or dividends in accordance with the terms of the obligation and may have more credit risk than higher rated securities. These instruments may be particularly susceptible to economic downturns.

Leverage Risk — The use of leverage, such as borrowing money to purchase securities, will cause the Fund to incur additional expenses and magnify the Fund’s gains or losses.

Special Situations and Stressed Investments Risk — Special situation investments are speculative and involve a substantial degree of risk. The level of analytical sophistication, both financial and legal, necessary for successful investment in distressed assets is unusually high. Therefore, the Fund will be particularly dependent on the analytical abilities of the Advisers. In any reorganization or liquidation proceeding relating to a company in which the Fund invests, the Fund may lose its entire investment, may be required to accept cash or securities with a value less than the Fund’s original investment and/or may be required to accept payment over an extended period of time.

Reinvestment Risk — The Fund may reinvest the cash flows received from a security. There is a risk that the interest rate at which interim cash flows can be reinvested will fall.

Inflation/Deflation Risk — Inflation risk is the risk that the value of certain assets or income from the Fund’s investments will be worth less in the future as inflation decreases the value of money. As inflation increases, the real value of investments and distributions can decline.

Emerging Markets Risk — The Fund may invest securities of issuers in “emerging markets” (or less developed countries). Such investments are particularly speculative and entail all of the risks of investing in non-U.S. securities but to a heightened degree. Emerging markets are more likely to experience hyperinflation and currency devaluations, political

33

Notes to Financial Statements (continued)

September 30, 2021

instability and abrupt changes in policies. Emerging markets may be subject to more social, political and economic fluctuation than those of developed markets.

Foreign Currency Risk — Changes in currency values may adversely affect the U.S. dollar value of portfolio investments, interest and other revenue streams received by the Fund, gains and losses realized on the sale of portfolio investments, and the amount of distributions, if any, made by the Fund.

Sovereign Government and Supranational Debt Risk — Issuers of sovereign debt and supranational debt or the governmental authorities that control the repayment of the debt may be unable or unwilling to repay principal or pay interest when due. In the event of default, there may be limited or no legal recourse in that, generally, remedies for defaults must be pursued in the courts of the defaulting party. In addition, there is no bankruptcy proceeding with respect to sovereign debt on which a sovereign has defaulted and the Fund may be unable to collect all or any part of its investment in a particular issue.

Currency Hedging Risk — The Advisers may seek to hedge all or a portion of the Fund’s foreign currency risk. However, the Advisers cannot guarantee that it will be practical to hedge these risks in certain markets or conditions or that any efforts to do so will be successful.

Derivatives Risk — The Fund may use derivative instruments including, in particular, swaps (including, total return swaps), synthetic securities, reverse repurchase agreements and other similar transactions, in seeking to achieve its investment objective or for other reasons, such as cash management, financing activities or to hedge its positions. If the Fund invests in a derivative for speculative purposes, the Fund will be fully exposed to the risks of loss of that derivative, which may sometimes be greater than the derivative’s cost. The use of derivatives may involve substantial leverage. Additionally, segregated liquid assets, amounts paid by the Fund as premiums and cash or other assets held in margin accounts with respect to derivatives are not otherwise available to the Fund for investment purposes.

Swaps Risk — The Fund may also invest in credit default swaps, total return swaps and interest rate swaps, all of which are derivative instruments. In a total return swap, the Fund pays the counterparty a floating short-term interest rate and receives in exchange the total return of underlying reference assets. The Fund bears the risk of changes in value in the underlying reference assets. Interest rate swaps involve the exchange by the Fund with another party of their respective commitments to pay or receive interest, such as an exchange of fixed-rate payments for floating rate payments. In a credit default swap, the protection “buyer” may be obligated to pay the protection “seller” an upfront or a periodic stream of payments over the term of the contract, provided that no credit event on the reference obligation occurs. If a credit event occurs, generally the seller must pay the buyer the full notional amount of the swap in exchange for an equal face amount of deliverable obligations of the reference entity, the value of which may have significantly decreased.

Options and Futures Risk — The Fund may utilize options and futures contracts and so-called “synthetic” options or other derivatives written by broker-dealers or other permissible Financial Intermediaries. When options are purchased, the Fund’s portfolio bears the risk that the counterparty that wrote the option will be unable or unwilling to perform its obligations under the option contract. Options may also be illiquid and, in such cases, the Fund may have difficulty closing out its position.

Repurchase Agreements and Reverse Repurchase Agreements Risk — The Fund may invest in repurchase agreements. Repurchase agreements carry certain risks not associated with direct investments in securities, including a possible decline in the market value of the underlying obligations. If their value becomes less than the repurchase price, plus any agreed-upon additional amount, the counterparty must provide additional collateral so that at all times the collateral is at least equal to the repurchase price plus any agreed-upon additional amount. Reverse repurchase agreements also involve the risk that the buyer of the securities sold by the Fund might be unable to deliver them when the Fund seeks to repurchase.

When-Issued Securities, Forward Commitments and Delayed Delivery Transactions Risk — Securities may be purchased on a “forward commitment” or “when-issued” basis, meaning securities are purchased or sold with payment and delivery taking place in the future (sometimes referred to as “delayed delivery”). From the time of entering into the transaction until delivery and payment is made at a later date, the securities that are the subject of the transaction are subject to market fluctuations. If the seller or buyer, as the case may be, fails to consummate the transaction, the counterparty may miss the opportunity of obtaining a price or yield considered to be advantageous.

Short Sales Risk — When the Fund makes a short sale, if the security sold short increases in price, the Fund may have to cover its short position at a higher price than the short sale price, resulting in a loss. The Fund may borrow securities to make delivery to the buyer under the short sale transaction. The Fund may not be able to borrow a security that it needs to deliver or it may not be able to close out a short position at an acceptable price and may have to sell related long positions earlier than it had expected.

Notes to Financial Statements (continued)

September 30, 2021

Liquidity Risk — The Fund may invest in securities that, at the time of investment are illiquid. The Fund may also invest in restricted securities. Illiquid and restricted securities may be difficult to dispose of at a fair price at the times when the Fund believes it is desirable to do so. Less liquid investments that the Fund may want to invest in may be difficult or impossible to purchase. The market price of illiquid and restricted securities generally is more volatile than that of more liquid securities, which may adversely affect the price that the Fund pays for or recovers upon the sale of such securities.

Management Risk — The Sub-Adviser’s and Sub-Sub- Adviser’s judgments about the attractiveness, value and potential appreciation of particular asset classes or securities in which the Fund invests may prove to be incorrect and may not produce the desired results.

Repurchase Policy Risk — Quarterly repurchases by the Fund of its shares typically are funded from available cash or sales of portfolio securities. The sale of securities to fund repurchases could reduce the market price of those securities, which in turn would reduce the Fund’s NAV.

Valuation Risk — Illiquid securities must be valued by the Fund using fair value procedures. Fair valuation involves subjective judgments, and it is possible that the fair value determined for a security may differ materially from the value that could be realized upon the sale of the security.

18. Subsequent Events

The Fund has evaluated the events and transactions through the date the financial statements were issued and has identified the following for disclosure in the Fund’s subsequent events:

On October 22, 2021, the Fund completed a quarterly Repurchase Offer (See Note 6) resulting in 9% of the Fund’s shares being repurchased.

On November 1, 2021, the operations of the Sub-Sub Adviser were integrated into RBC Global Asset Management (U.S.) Inc. (“RBC GAM-US”), another wholly-owned subsidiary of RBC. As a result of the integration, sub-sub advisory services are provided by RBC GAM-US.

Bluebay Destra International Event-Driven Credit Fund

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

To the Shareholders and Board of Trustees of
BlueBay Destra International Event-Driven Credit Fund

Opinion on the Financial Statements

We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities, including the schedule of investments, of BlueBay Destra International Event-Driven Credit Fund (the “Fund”, formerly known as Destra International & Event-Driven Credit Fund) as of September 30, 2021, the related statement of operations for the year then ended, the statements of changes in net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended, including the related notes, and the financial highlights for each of the four periods in the period then ended (collectively referred to as the “financial statements”). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Fund as of September 30, 2021, the results of its operations for the year then ended, the changes in net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended, and the financial highlights for each of the four periods in the period then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Basis for Opinion

These financial statements are the responsibility of the Fund’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Fund’s financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (“PCAOB”) and are required to be independent with respect to the Fund in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement whether due to error or fraud.

Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of September 30, 2021, by correspondence with the custodian, brokers, agent banks, and underlying private company management, or by other appropriate auditing procedures where replies from brokers or counterparties were not received. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

We have served as the auditor of one or more investment companies advised by Destra Capital Advisors LLC since 2018.

Potential Conflicts of Interests

A conflict of interest may arise as a result of a portfolio manager being responsible for multiple accounts, including the Fund, which may have different investment guidelines and objectives. In addition to the Fund, these accounts may include other mutual funds managed on an advisory or sub-advisory basis, separate accounts and collective trust accounts. An investment opportunity may be suitable for the Fund as well as for any of the other managed accounts. However, the investment may not be available in sufficient quantity for all of the accounts to participate fully. In addition, there may be limited opportunity to sell an investment held by the Fund and the other accounts. The other accounts may have similar investment objectives or strategies as the Fund, they may track the same benchmarks or indexes as the Fund tracks, and they may sell securities that are eligible to be held, sold or purchased by the Fund. A portfolio manager may be responsible for accounts that have different advisory fee schedules, which may create the incentive for the portfolio manager to favor one account over another in terms of access to investment opportunities. A portfolio manager also may manage accounts whose investment objectives and policies differ from those of the Fund, which may cause the portfolio manager to effect trading in one account that may have an adverse effect on the value of the holdings within another account, including the Fund.

To address and manage these potential conflicts of interest, Destra Capital Advisors LLC (the “Adviser”), BlueBay Asset Management LLP (“BlueBay UK”) and BlueBay Asset Management USA LLC (“BlueBay USA”, and together with BlueBay UK, “BlueBay”) have each adopted compliance policies and procedures to allocate investment opportunities and to ensure that each of their clients is treated on a fair and equitable basis. Such policies and procedures include, but are not limited to, trade allocation and trade aggregation policies, cross trading policies, portfolio manager assignment practices and oversight by investment management and/or compliance departments.

(a)(3) Compensation Structure of Portfolio Manager(s)

Portfolio manager compensation consists of three components: for employees of BlueBay, a base salary, a discretionary bonus, and a retention award plan; for partners, drawings and a discretionary profit allocation.

All portfolio managers are evaluated and rewarded annually during the yearly compensation review process. BlueBay has a Remuneration Committee which reviews the compensation arrangements annually. Compensation for any given individual is paid according to both quantitative and qualitative considerations. BlueBay operates a discretionary bonus scheme. Remuneration of all investment professionals is geared to fund performance and takes into account the profitable growth of each investment team’s business.

BlueBay has established a deferral ratio for all partners and employees who are awarded discretionary profit allocations (partners) or discretionary bonuses (employees) over a certain threshold. Partners and employees may also be given additional discretionary awards which are all deferred. Deferrals will track BlueBay funds and/or a combination of BlueBay funds and a reference index, a shadow equity vehicle aligned to the performance of BlueBay and its parent company. Deferrals will vest on a cliff basis after a period of three years.

(a)(4) Disclosure of Securities Ownership

The following table sets forth the dollar range of equity securities beneficially owned by each Portfolio Manager in the Fund as of September 30, 2021:

Portfolio Manager	Dollar Range of Fund Shares Beneficially Owned
Tim Leary	None
Adam Phillips	None
Duncan Farley	None

ITEM 9. PURCHASES OF EQUITY SECURITIES BY CLOSED-END MANAGEMENT INVESTMENT COMPANY AND AFFILIATED PURCHASERS.

ITEM 10. SUBMISSION OF MATTERS TO A VOTE OF SECURITY HOLDERS.

There have been no material changes to the procedures by which the shareholders may recommend nominees to the registrant’s board of trustees, where those changes were implemented after the registrant last provided disclosure in response to the requirements of Item 407(c)(2)(iv) of Regulation S-K (17 CFR 229.407) (as required by Item 22(b)(15) of Schedule 14A (17 CFR 240.14a-101)), or this Item.

ITEM 11. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES.

(a) The Registrant’s principal executive officer and principal financial officer have concluded, based on their evaluation of the Registrant’s disclosure controls and procedures as conducted within 90 days of the filing date of this report, that these disclosure controls and procedures are adequately designed and are operating effectively to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Registrant on Form N-CSR is (i) accumulated and communicated to the Registrant’s management, including its certifying officers, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure; and (ii) recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms.

Appendix A

BlueBay Destra International Event-Driven Credit Fund (the “Fund”)

Proxy Voting Policies and Procedures

Pursuant to rules established by the SEC under the 1940 Act, the Board has adopted formal, written guidelines for proxy voting. The Board oversees voting policies and decisions for each Fund.

The Fund exercises its proxy voting rights with regard to the companies in the Fund’s investment portfolio, with the goals of maximizing the value of the Fund’s investments, promoting accountability of a company’s management and board of directors to its shareholders, aligning the interests of management with those of shareholders, and increasing transparency of a company’s business and operations.

In general, the Board believes that the Sub-Adviser, which select the individual companies that are part of the Fund’s portfolio, are the most knowledgeable and best suited to make decisions about proxy votes. Therefore, the Board defers to and relies on the Sub-Adviser to make decisions on casting proxy votes. The Adviser oversees the proxy voting policies and procedures and works with each Sub-Adviser to implement the policy.

Proxy Voting Policies and Procedures

Introduction

This paper outlines BlueBay Asset Management LLP’s (“BlueBay”) overall policy (and procedure on corporate governance and corporate responsibility (CR) proxy voting for client securities within managed portfolios, in the Appendix). It does not set out guidelines on voting position on specific corporate governance and Corporate Responsible issues.

It should be noted that given BlueBay’s specialist focus on fixed income assets, the number of occasions in which BlueBay will be engaged in proxy voting will be limited. Where this may occur is most likely with regards Convertible Bond and High Yield bond investments, where an investment may take on formal voting rights.

This Policy is reviewed annually and updated where necessary to reflect changes in circumstances and actual practice.

Approach

The main objective of a company should be to optimize over time, the returns to its investors, this means ensuring the long-term viability of its business (through prudent management of material corporate governance and corporate responsibility issues), and to manage effectively its relationships with stakeholders.

BlueBay has a fiduciary duty to act in the best interests of its clients and manages clients’ assets with the objective of achieving the greatest possible return consistent with their investment objectives.

BlueBay, on behalf of itself and other entities within the BlueBay group (including BlueBay Funds Management Company S.A.), has established a series of principles to be applied when exercising voting rights attached to client securities within managed portfolios. These are that:

● In reaching a recommendation as to how a proxy should be voted, BlueBay must act prudently and in the best interests of the affected clients and will ensure that voting rights are exercised in accordance with the portfolio’s objectives and investment policies.

● BlueBay may depart from the principles to avoid voting decisions that may be contrary to clients’ best interests in particular cases.

● BlueBay may also choose not to vote where voting may be detrimental to the best interests of clients, such as due to high administrative costs associated with voting or share blocking requirements that “lock up” securities, which would limit liquidity or access to market opportunities.

BlueBay notes UK and international corporate governance systems vary according to factors such as the legal system, the extent of shareholder rights and the level of dispersed ownership. As such in forming a position on the governance of companies, how they meet good practice guidelines according to general as well as local market codes of best practice must be considered.

Reporting

Reporting on the use of voting rights, where this has occurred, will be available to clients upon request.

APPENDIX: Proxy voting procedure

Receipt and notification of proxy rights

The ProxyEdge system is used for voting and the Operations department receive notifications with regards to holdings of BlueBay funds. Operations then promptly submit such materials to the relevant member(s) of the BlueBay portfolio management team.

Persons authorised to exercise voting rights

The relevant members of BlueBay’s portfolio management team will be responsible for recommending how proxies relating to securities held by clients in managed portfolios should be voted.

The relevant personnel will consider each exercise of rights and in particular will take into consideration the best interests of clients, with voting on specific events or issues associated with the board and its committees (e.g. such as board independence and diversity), shareholder rights, audit and internal control, executive remuneration, use of capital (e.g. M&As) and other business, being considered on a case by case basis.

With regards to the voting decision, investment teams retain discretion but will consult with the ESG Specialist for advice and guidance, especially around corporate responsibility matters. Once a recommendation on how to vote has been determined, this will be communicated to Operations to handle the voting process. The voting decision is documented by Operations.

Segregated mandates

The approach to be taken will be determined by the Investment Management Agreement (IMA) and this will be agreed with relevant departments as part of the account opening process.

Conflicts of interest

When evaluating any given proxy, the portfolio management team will consider whether or not BlueBay has a potential conflict relating to the security being voted, such as if a BlueBay Portfolio Manager sits on the Board of Directors of the company. Any such conflict of interest will be notified to the BlueBay Compliance team.

If Compliance deems the conflict to be material, Compliance will determine whether the vote proposed by the portfolio management team is in the best interests of all clients. If Compliance cannot conclusively determine that the vote is in the best interest of the affected client, Compliance will seek the advice of an independent third-party service to provide the proxy voting recommendation. The process will be documented.

Reporting

For regulatory purposes, BlueBay’s Compliance department maintains a record of all past proxy voting decisions covering a minimum period of the last five years. Reporting on the use of voting rights, where this has occurred, will be available to clients upon request.
