Investments carry risks, including possible loss of principal. Additional risks may be associated with investments outside the United States, especially in emerging markets, including currency fluctuations, illiquidity, volatility, and political and economic risks. Investments in small- and mid-capitalization companies may increase the risk of greater price fluctuations. Portfolios investing in bonds have the same interest rate, inflation, and credit risks that are associated with the underlying bonds. The value of bonds will fluctuate relative to changes in interest rates, decreasing when interest rates rise. A short position will lose value as the security’s price increases. Theoretically, the loss on a short sale can be unlimited.

Letter to Shareholders
March 31, 2020 (Unaudited)
Dear Shareholder:
I hope this letter finds you safe and healthy. Amid the COVID-19 pandemic, we’re all adjusting to the challenges of working and living new ways while trying to see into a cloudy future. In these uncertain times, all of us at Thornburg Investment Management are squarely focused on providing you with the best investment outcomes that we can.
Many of our portfolios were well positioned for higher volatility. While we did not predict the cause of this downturn, it’s clear that high prices make for more vulnerable markets. Given our solid liquidity and preparation, we’ve been able to take advantage of price swings as many assets were on sale after the market’s decline. Longer term, it appears even the extraordinary fiscal and monetary support will merely cushion the blow. After all, the reason policy makers’ actions have been so extreme is in large part because they view them as necessary.
Looking forward, our nimble, collaborative investment team is well suited to deliver. The reason that we have a benchmark agnostic, flexible approach is so that we can go where we find value, within the mandate and objectives of the portfolio. While many investment firms have good products and processes, Thornburg is designed to see the world differently, and our perspective from Santa Fe, NM, is especially valuable in challenging times. While many other professionals are siloed into narrow areas of expertise, without the ability to evaluate the bigger picture, we work across sectors and asset classes to find great investments and put them into balanced portfolios. The last few months have demonstrated the strength of our approach, given its adaptability and capacity to place new information in the context of broad portfolios quickly. Being nimble is part of Thornburg’s culture, and people across the organization are finding new ways to pitch in for the sake of our clients.
No one can predict with certainty what the market has in store for us, especially in the context of the current health crisis. What does seem certain, however, is that the events of the last few months are accelerating change that was already occurring, as well as underlining the vulnerability of many of the systems that many of us take for granted. That is true in our daily lives, as well as in financial markets. We believe our understanding of and participation in the interconnectedness of these markets is our core competency: We’re built for this.
Thank you so much for your time and your business.

Thornburg Investment Income Builder Fund
Dear Fellow Shareholder:
This letter highlights the basic results of your Fund’s investment portfolio for the six-month period ended March 31, 2020. Your Fund’s fiscal year ends on September 30. In addition, we comment on the overall investment landscape, which has been evolving rapidly amidst the extraordinary developments associated with the global spread of COVID-19.
Thornburg Investment Income Builder Fund paid an ordinary dividend of $0.52 per Class I share in the six-month period ending March 31, 2020. This was approximately 4% above the dividend of $0.50 for the comparable period of fiscal 2019. The Fund paid $1.014 per Class I share for the trailing four quarters, up 4.4% from $0.970 in the prior year comparable period. The dividend per share were higher for Class R6 shares and lower for Class A, Class C, R3, R4 and R5 shares, to account for varying class-specific expenses.
The net asset value of the Class I shares decreased by $5.27 per share ($21.88 to $16.61) during the period under review. Importantly, the net asset value decreased by $6.53 per share in the 41 days from February 19 to March 31 as the COVID-19 pandemic gained momentum globally and set off a chain reaction of selling across a range of financial assets. As of the close of business on February 19, the net asset value of the Class I shares was $23.14 per share and the total return for the then partial semiannual period was 7.69%. The ensuing global chain reaction of selling financial assets was unprecedented in speed, depth and breadth, though the selling wave was significantly reversed in the final week of March with respect to government bonds, government agency bonds and high-grade corporate bonds as a result of U.S. Federal Reserve (and other central bank) buying of these instruments with newly printed money.
The next several paragraphs focus on the first three months of 2020. We provide brief descriptions of the largest individual equity holdings in your Fund portfolio and how these individual assets repriced during the March quarter. The final six weeks of the quarter dominated outcomes for the semiannual period under review. In general, we believe the rapid price declines for these businesses represent significant buying opportunities rather than warnings of impending competitive irrelevance or significant financial distress. Most have strong positions providing products and services that will prove to be more resilient than the overall global economy.
Most dividend-paying equities in the Thornburg Investment Income Builder Fund were down more than 15% in the first three months of calendar 2020. Listed below in descending order are the 25 largest equity holdings in the Fund as of March 31, 2020, along with year-to-date share price performance and trailing-year dividend yields at closing March 31, 2020, stock prices. Twenty-three of these holdings have delivered share price declines in 2020 to date. Together,
these 25 firms comprise approximately 66% of the Fund’s total assets. Interest-bearing debt comprises almost 12% of assets and 39 other equities comprise a total of approximately 22% of portfolio assets. Individual position sizes range from more than 5% (telecom operator Orange SA) to approximately 1.5% for those holdings shown near the bottom of this list.
Thornburg Investment Income Builder Fund – Top 25 Equity Holdings as of March 31, 2020
Thornburg Equity Funds Semi-Annual Report | 5
Letter to Shareholders, Continued
March 31, 2020 (Unaudited)
These are not trivial companies. Over time they generally tend to be well capitalized, and we epxect most should be good dividend payors in the years to come.
The global economy has been significantly dented by the COVID-19 outbreak, and by government actions taken to control this outbreak: travel restrictions, mandatory business closings, school closings, event cancellations, stay home orders, etc. We cannot predict how these companies’ 2020 dividends will be impacted by the COVID-19 outbreak, particularly any possible political pressures to reduce dividends. That noted, we believe these are strong businesses with important positions in their respective markets. The reader will notice a significant number of telecommunications, communications infrastructure and health care firms among these top 25 holdings, as well as other providers of various ingredients important to modern life. Aside from the fact that they have paid attractive dividends
previously, in our view, the current crisis reinforces the essential nature of the products and services they provide.
The 39 equity investments shown below comprised approximately 22% of your Fund’s total net assets as of March 31, 2020. Some of these are not cyclical businesses (pharmaceuticals firms Pfizer and Novartis, or telecommunications network operators KPN and Singapore Telecommunications). Others are cyclical businesses that have paid attractive dividends in recent years (investment managers M&G and UBS), non-bank financials (Chimera Investment, MFA Financial, Solar Capital) or industrial materials producers (Glencore and LyondellBasell). In general, share prices of the cyclical businesses in the Thornburg Investment Income Builder Fund’s portfolio declined more than the entire portfolio for the period under review. The five insurance companies among these 39 have varying degrees of cyclicality, but their stock prices declined mostly due to concerns about the market values of their bond portfolios, which have likely recovered significantly as global central banks buy bonds (Zurich Insurance Group, Swiss Reinsurance, Axa, Legal & General and Generali).
Thornburg Investment Income Builder Fund’s bond holdings overall delivered negative returns during the period under review. U.S. government bond prices increased significantly as 10-year U.S. Treasury yields dropped from 1.92% to 0.67%. Corporate bond prices were generally lower, as much of March saw heavy selling of corporate credit.

For example, the following graph shows the precipitous drop of the quoted price of a 4.55% bond due June 24, 2024, issued by U.S. energy infrastructure firm Williams Companies. This bond, issued at par in 2014, was quoted by Bloomberg at a dollar price of 110% of par to yield below 2% as recently as March 5, 2020. Over the next 18 days to March 23, the market price of this bond declined by some 33%, to yield 11.57%. We observed that bond mutual funds in the U.S. saw high redemptions over this period, so many sellers of corporate bond funds at that time were selling good assets at low prices. On the afternoon of March 23, the Federal Reserve Bank announced it would fund a bond purchase program for investment grade corporate bonds with final maturities below five years. The Williams Companies 4.55% bond qualifies for the Fed’s bond purchase program. As you can see in the accompanying graph of recent market prices for this bond, it has increased in value by more than 26% since March 23, and now yields 3.62% at a price of 103.36% of par. This bond is the second largest individual bond holding in Thornburg Investment Income Builder Fund’s portfolio. It is illustrative of the volatile ride many of the portfolio’s other bonds took during the month of March.
Thornburg Investment Income Builder Fund’s Class I share return of negative 21.96% for the semiannual period trailed its blended benchmark (75% MSCI World Net Total Return USD Index and 25% Bloomberg Barclays US Aggregate Bond Total Return Index Value USD), which returned negative 9.9% for the period. We have described many of the individual ingredients of your Fund’s six-month performance in the preceding paragraphs. The comparison benchmark benefited significantly from (i) a larger bond weighting than Investment Income Builder Fund and central bank support for the bond component of the blended index in the last week of March, and (ii) the fact that six of the seven largest holdings of the equity portion of the benchmark are technology giants whose share prices have performed relatively well, but pay low dividends or no dividends (Microsoft, Apple, Amazon, Facebook, Alphabet/Google and
Alibaba). Performance comparisons of Investment Income Builder to its blended benchmark over various periods are shown elsewhere in this report.
Although no central banks have been bidding up prices of most of the assets in your Investment Income Builder Fund portfolio, we are optimistic about the future return potential of these assets. Why? Virtually all of the businesses in your fund retain their market positions, providing important products and services that generate cash flows to pay attractive dividends. As high-quality bond yields, bank deposit yields and money market yields decline, we believe investors will direct capital into dividend-paying stocks and certain bonds, supporting prices of these.
Readers of this commentary who are long-time shareholders of Thornburg Investment Income Builder Fund will recall that the interest-bearing debt portion of the Fund’s portfolio has varied over time, ranging from less than 9% in 2015 to 45% at June 30, 2009. We tend to allocate more portfolio assets to interest-bearing debt when yields are more attractive. In the September 2019 fiscal year, more than 85% of Investment Income Builder Fund’s income was derived from stock dividends, the remainder coming from interest. In the coming quarters, this mix may likely include a higher proportion of interest income. We have already modestly increased your Fund’s weighting in interest-bearing debt. From today’s vantage point, we would expect to add assets from the more dislocated segments of the bond market that are less subject to price support from central bank buying.
The quarter ending March 31, 2020, was the 69th full calendar quarter since the inception of Thornburg Investment Income Builder Fund in December 2002. In 51 of these quarters the Fund delivered a positive total return. The Fund has delivered positive total returns in 14 of its 17 calendar years of existence.
We believe the extreme dislocation caused by the COVID-19 pandemic will be temporary. As we write these words, more than half of the global population, from countries comprising a significant majority of global GDP, are under “shelter in place” orders that sharply reduce normal economic activity. Government bodies around the world have taken unusual steps to control the disease and mitigate the consequences of related economic disruption in order to keep the basic structure of the global economy in place to resume normal economic activity when the pandemic passes.
When the COVID-19 pandemic passes, we believe people around the world will continue to buy goods and services and trade with each other. We expect the global economy will gradually repair, albeit with some significant changes, and, in the meantime, most governments will make reasonable attempts to bridge the material dislocations we currently witness. In the United States, for example, the combination of payments from the Paycheck Protection Program, enhanced weekly unemployment benefits, and CARES Act stimulus payments to

qualifying households will surpass the median weekly income ($933/week as of Q4 2019) of many workers prior to the COVID-19 outbreak. More broadly, governments around the developed world have enacted fiscal stimulus programs amounting to approximately 10% of their combined GDPs, amounts approximately sufficient to offset -33% drops in GDP for a three-month period.

Thornburg Global Opportunities Fund
Dear Fellow Shareholders:
This letter highlights the results of the Thornburg Global Opportunities Fund investment portfolio for the six-month period ended March 31, 2020. Your Fund’s fiscal year ends on September 30. In addition, we comment on the overall investment landscape, which has been evolving rapidly amidst the extraordinary developments associated with the global spread of COVID-19 (coronavirus).
The net asset value of the Class I shares decreased by $4.23 per share ($27.67 to $23.44) during the semiannual period under review. The net asset value decreased by $8.69 per share in the 41 days from February 19 to March 31 as the COVID-19 pandemic gained momentum globally and set off a chain reaction of selling across a range of financial assets as lockdown orders spread. As of the close of business on February 19, the net asset value of Thornburg Global Opportunities Fund’s Class I shares was $32.13 per share and the total return for the then partial semiannual period was +18.09%. The ensuing global chain reaction of selling financial assets was unprecedented in speed, depth and breadth. The selling wave was partially reversed in the final week of March with respect to government bonds, government agency bonds and high-grade corporate bonds as a result of Federal Reserve (and other central bank) buying of these instruments with newly printed money.
The next several paragraphs focus on your Fund’s largest portfolio holdings during the first three months of 2020. The final six weeks of the quarter dominated outcomes for these months and for the semiannual period under review. In general, we believe the rapid share price declines for these businesses over these weeks represent significant buying opportunities rather than warnings of impending competitive irrelevance or significant financial distress. Most have strong positions providing products and services that we believe will be resilient in the years ahead.
Most equities in the Thornburg Global Opportunities Fund were down more than 15% in the first three months of 2020 in a widespread global equity selloff. Listed below in descending order are the 20 largest equity holdings in the Fund as of March 31, 2020, along with 2020 year-to-date share price changes and trailing five-year average annual revenue growth rates for these businesses. Together, these firms comprised approximately 78% of the Fund’s total assets. Near-cash debt comprised 7% of assets, and 12 other equities comprised a total of approximately 15% of Fund assets as of March 31, 2020. Fifteen of these 20 largest equity investments delivered share price declines in 2020 through March 31, the exceptions being health care and digital communications–centric businesses. Individual position sizes varied from more than 5% (Alphabet, Facebook, Qorvo, Alibaba, Reliance Industries) to just over 2.25% for those shown near the bottom of this list.

Letter to Shareholders, Continued
March 31, 2020 (Unaudited)
Notice that a high incidence of these investments are in firms tied to the digital economy, and to tools that facilitate digital communications.
These are not trivial businesses. Over time they generally tend to be well capitalized. We believe most of these will emerge from the present economic valley with their competitive positions either intact or improved. Most have been growing faster than the global economy, and some of the slower growers over recent years appear to be advantaged in their industries at this time. Most of their share prices have increased significantly between March 31 and the date of this letter.
The Thornburg Global Opportunities Fund’s Class I share return of negative 13.85% for the semiannual period slightly beat its benchmark (MSCI All Country World Net Total Return USD Index "ACWI"), which returned negative 14.33% for the period. Most of your Fund’s net asset value decline occurred during the extraordinary month of March as governments around the world ordered significant portions of private economies to shut down. We expect these economies to gradually reopen in the current quarter.
In July of 2020 we will mark the 14th anniversary of the Fund’s inception. From its inception on July 28, 2006, through March 31, 2020, the Thornburg Global Opportunities Fund has outpaced the ACWI by an average margin of over 2.6% per year, resulting in a total cumulative return since inception of 154% (I shares) versus 79% for the ACWI.
The following table summarizes major sector weightings within the Global Opportunities Fund portfolio as of March 31, as well as general directional changes over the course of the semiannual period:
We believe the extreme dislocation caused by the COVID-19 pandemic will be temporary. As we write these words more than half of the global population, from countries comprising a significant majority of global GDP, are under “shelter in place” orders that sharply reduce normal economic activity.

More broadly, governments around the developed world have enacted fiscal stimulus programs amounting to approximately 10% of their combined GDPs, amounts approximately sufficient to offset -33% drops in GDP for a three-month period.
Our Investment Framework
The Thornburg Global Opportunities Fund seeks capital appreciation from a focused portfolio of global equity investments. We believe the structure of the Fund—built on our core investment principles of flexibility, focus and value—provides a durable framework for value-added investing.
We urge shareholders of the Fund to maintain a long-term investment perspective rather than placing too much emphasis on return figures that are available daily, weekly, monthly and quarterly. We continue to follow our core investment principles of flexibility, focus and value, as we have since the Fund’s inception back in 2006.

Thornburg Investment Income Builder Fund | March 31, 2020 (Unaudited)
To appreciate the investment environment in which Thornburg Investment Income Builder Fund operates, you may wish to review these highlights of the “dividend landscape.”
The S&P 500 Index Payout Ratio — A Historical Perspective
The dividend payout ratio is a fraction that expresses dividend payments as a percentage of per-share earnings. As the economy slowed in the wake of the financial crisis, earnings-per-share on average declined, causing the payout ratio to spike, even as dividends paid by the S&P 500 portfolio declined. Earnings have since materially improved, bringing the payout ratio back in line with the overall trend in recent times.
Corporate Willingness to Pay Dividends is Key to the Fund’s Investment Process
The Russell 1000 Index includes approximately 1,000 public companies that are supposed to be generally representative of corporate America. Between 1980 and 1993, at least 75% of these firms paid some dividend. Between 1994 and 2001, the percentage of Russell 1000 companies paying dividends sank to just over 50%, indicating a preference towards reinvesting retained earnings in growth initiatives. Dividends returned to fashion between 2002 and 2008. A reduction in the number of Russell 1000 firms paying dividends followed the 2008 recession. However, from early 2010, the number steadily climbed back to around 70%.
Rising Dividend Payments Despite Decreasing Dividend Yields
Over time, the dollar dividend per unit of the S&P 500 Index has generally increased. Because the price of the index itself has increased even more, the yield on the S&P 500 Index, as a percentage of the current index price, has generally decreased in recent decades. You should note, however, that the dollar yield on an original investment made at a fixed point in time (say, 1970 or 1989) has increased, even without reinvestment of dividends.

A Truly Diversified Dividend-Paying Portfolio Must Look Beyond the Obvious High-Yield Stocks!
In the (large cap) Russell 1000 Index, 49% of the top 100 dividend payers are in the real estate and financials sectors. In the (small cap) Russell 2000 Index, 60% of the top 100 dividend-yielding stocks are real estate or financials companies. To construct a diversified portfolio of attractive yielding stocks, one must look beyond these sectors. We certainly do.
Dividend yield is a ratio that shows how much a company pays out in dividends each year relative to its share price.
Global Diversification Can Improve the Portfolio Yield
Since firms outside the U.S. tend to pay higher dividends than U.S. firms, particularly outside the financial and utility sectors, we maintain the ability to diversify the Thornburg Investment Income Builder Fund into foreign dividend-paying stocks to try to take advantage of these opportunities.
Diversification does not assure or guarantee better performance and cannot eliminate the risk of investment losses.
Dividends are not guaranteed.

Fund Summary
Thornburg Investment Income Builder Fund | March 31, 2020 (Unaudited)
OBJECTIVES AND STRATEGIES
The Fund seeks to provide a level of current income which exceeds the average yield on U.S. stocks generally, and which will generally grow, subject to periodic fluctuations, over the years on a per share basis. The Fund’s secondary investment objective is long-term capital appreciation.
The Fund may invest in any domestic or foreign equity or debt security which Thornburg Investment Management believes may assist the Fund in pursuing its investment goals, although the Fund expects that equity securities in its portfolio will normally be weighted in favor of companies that pay dividends or other current income.

We do not expect each sequential quarter’s dividend to increase over that of the prior quarter, since dividend payments outside the United States tend to be seasonal. Rather, the Fund aspires to increase the dividend paid on an annual basis.

Fund Summary
Thornburg Summit Fund | March 31, 2020 (Unaudited)
OBJECTIVES AND STRATEGIES
The Fund seeks to grow real wealth over time. “Real wealth” for this purpose is a mix of capital appreciation and current income that is intended to exceed the rate of inflation. While the Fund seeks to achieve its goal over a variety of different market environments by selecting investments from a range of asset classes, the value of an investment in the Fund will fluctuate and the Fund may not achieve its goal in every environment or in all environments. Under normal conditions the Fund’s investments are expected to emphasize long positions in equity securities and fixed income obligations, though the Fund may also invest a significant amount of its assets in short positions in equity securities and fixed income obligations, in commodities-related investments, in derivative instruments, in currencies, and in cash or cash equivalents. There are no specific percentage limitations on the amount of the Fund’s portfolio that may be invested in a particular asset class, and the proportions of the Fund’s assets that are invested in the respective asset classes are expected to vary over time and from time to time depending upon Thornburg’s perceptions of which types of investments represent better values and opportunities to achieve the Fund’s investment goal.
With respect to its equity investments, the Fund may invest in any stock or equity security, including common stocks, preferred stocks, convertible securities, warrants, depositary receipts, partnership interests, publicly traded real estate investment trusts, and shares in exchange traded funds. The Fund may invest in companies of any size. The Fund’s portfolio may include investments in United States issuers and the securities of issuers domiciled outside the
United States, including developing countries. The relative proportions of the Fund’s U.S. and foreign investments will vary over time depending upon Thornburg’s view of specific investment opportunities and macroeconomic factors.

NOTE 2 – SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The following is a summary of significant accounting policies followed by each of the Funds in the preparation of its financial statements. Each Fund prepares its financial statements in conformity with United States generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”), including investment company accounting and reporting guidance in the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the “FASB”) Accounting Standard Codification Topic 946.
Allocation of Income, Gains, Losses 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 (or the value of the dividend-eligible shares, as appropriate) of each class of shares at the beginning of the day (after adjusting for the current capital shares activity of the respective class). Expenses common to all Funds are allocated among the Funds comprising the Trust based upon their relative net asset values or other appropriate allocation methods. Operating expenses directly attributable to a specific class are charged against the operating income of that class.
Dividends and Distributions to Shareholders: Dividends and distributions to shareholders, which are determined in accordance with federal income tax regulations and may differ from GAAP, are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Ordinary income dividends, if any, are declared daily and paid quarterly or annually. Capital gain distributions, if any, are declared and paid annually and more often if deemed necessary by Thornburg Investment Management, Inc., the Trust’s investment advisor (the "Advisor"). Dividends and distributions are paid and are reinvested in additional shares of the Funds at net asset value per share at the close of business on the ex-dividend date, or at the shareholder’s option, paid in cash.
Foreign Currency Translation: Portfolio investments and other assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollars based on the exchange rate of such currencies against the U.S. dollar on the date of valuation. Purchases and sales of investments and income items denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollars at the exchange rate in effect on the

transaction date. When the Funds purchase or sell foreign investments, they will customarily enter into a foreign exchange contract to minimize foreign exchange risk from the trade date to the settlement date of such transactions. The values of such spot contracts are included in receivable for investments sold and payable for investments purchased on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities.
The Funds do not separately report the effect of changes in foreign exchange rates from changes in market prices on investments held. Such changes are included in net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) from investments in the Statement of Operations.
Reported net realized gains and losses from foreign currency transactions arise due to purchases and sales of foreign currencies, currency gains and losses realized between the trade and settlement dates on investment 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. These amounts are included in foreign currency transactions in the Statement of Operations.
Net change in unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on foreign currency translations arise from changes in the fair value of assets and liabilities, other than investments at period end, resulting from changes in exchange rates.
Guarantees and Indemnifications: Under the Trust’s organizational documents (and under separate agreements with the independent Trustees), its officers and Trustees are provided with an indemnification against certain liabilities arising out of the performance of their duties to the Funds. In the normal course of business the Trust may also enter into contracts with service providers that contain general indemnifications. The Trust’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown. However, based on experience, the Trust expects the risk of loss to be remote.
Investment Income: Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date. Interest income is accrued as earned. Premiums and discounts are amortized and accreted, respectively, to first call dates or maturity dates using the effective yield method of the respective investments. These amounts are included in Investment Income in the Statement of Operations.
Investment Transactions: Investment transactions are accounted for on a trade date basis. Realized gains and losses from the sale of investments are recorded on an identified cost basis.
Repurchase Agreements: The Funds may invest excess cash in repurchase agreements whereby the Funds purchase investments, which serve as collateral, with an agreement to resell such collateral to the seller at an agreed upon price at the maturity date of the repurchase agreement. Investments pledged as collateral for repurchase agreements are held in custody until maturity of the repurchase agreement. Provisions in the agreements require that the market value of the collateral is at least equal to the repurchase value in the event of default. In the event of default, the Funds have the right to liquidate the collateral and apply the proceeds in satisfaction of the obligation. Under certain circumstances, in the event of default or bankruptcy by the other party to the agreement, realization and/or retention of the collateral may be subject to legal proceedings.
Security Valuation: All investments in securities held by the Funds are valued as described in Note 3.
Short Sales: A short sale involves the sale by the Funds of a security that the Funds do not own. The Funds borrow the security that they intend to sell from a broker or other institution, and at a later date the Funds complete the short sale by purchasing that same security on the open market and delivering it to the lending institution. The Funds may be required to pay a premium, fee, or other amount to the lender in exchange for borrowing the security. These amounts are included in Short sale financing fees on the Statement of Operations. When it enters into a short sale, the Funds seek to profit on a decline in the price of the security between the date the Funds borrow the security and the date the Funds purchase the security to deliver it to the lender. If, however, the price of the security increases between those dates, or if the price of the security declines by an amount which is not sufficient to cover the expenses of borrowing the security, the Funds will experience a loss. Although the potential for gain as a result of a short sale is limited to the price at which the Funds sold the security short less the cost of borrowing the security, the potential for loss is theoretically unlimited because there is no limit to the cost of replacing the borrowed security. Short sales held by the Funds during the six month period were fully collateralized by segregated cash or other securities, which are denoted on the Schedule of Investments.
Unfunded Loan Commitments: The Income Builder Fund has entered into a loan commitment with Malamute Energy, Inc., of which at March 31, 2020, $316,081 of the $634,830 par commitment had been funded. The maturity date is June 30, 2020.
Use of Estimates: The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of increases (decreases) in net assets from operations during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
When-Issued and Delayed Delivery Transactions: The Funds may engage in when-issued or delayed delivery transactions. To the extent the Funds engage in such transactions, they will do so for the purpose of acquiring portfolio investments consistent with the Funds’ investment objectives and not for the purpose of investment leverage or to speculate on interest rate or market changes. At the time the Funds make a

commitment to purchase an investment on a when-issued or delayed delivery basis, the Funds will record the transaction and reflect the value in determining its net asset value. When effecting such transactions, assets of an amount sufficient to make payment for the portfolio investments to be purchased will be segregated on the Funds’ records on the trade date. Investments purchased on a when-issued or delayed delivery basis do not earn interest until the settlement date. The values of these securities held at March 31, 2020 are detailed in the Schedule of Investments.
NOTE 3 – SECURITY VALUATION
Valuation of the Funds’ portfolio investment securities is performed in accordance with policies and procedures adopted by and under the oversight of the Trustees.
The Trustees of the Trust have appointed the Advisor to assist the Trustees with obtaining fair market values for portfolio investments, evaluating and monitoring professional pricing service providers appointed by the Trustees’ Audit Committee (the “Audit Committee”) to assist in determining fair values for portfolio investments, assisting in calculating fair values for portfolio investments in certain circumstances, and performing other functions in connection with the valuation of investments. The Advisor acts through its Valuation and Pricing Committee (the “Committee”) and other employees of the Advisor. The Committee regularly reviews its own valuation calculations, reviews the valuations, valuation techniques and services furnished by pricing service providers, considers circumstances which may require valuation calculations by the Committee, and reviews previous valuation calculations. The Committee reports to the Audit Committee on the Committee’s activities, the performance of pricing service providers, and other matters relating to valuation of portfolio investments.
In those instances when the Committee assists in calculating a fair value for a portfolio investment, the Committee seeks to determine the price that the Funds would reasonably expect to receive upon a sale of the investment in an orderly transaction between market participants on the valuation date. The Committee customarily utilizes quotations from securities broker dealers in calculating valuations, but also may utilize prices obtained from pricing service providers or other methods approved by the Audit Committee. Because fair values calculated by the Committee are estimates, the calculation of a value for an investment may differ from the price that would be realized by the Funds upon a sale of the investment, and the difference could be material to the Funds’ financial statements. The Committee’s calculation of a fair value for an investment may also differ from the prices obtained by other persons (including other mutual funds) for the investment.
Valuation of Securities: Securities and other portfolio investments which are listed or traded on a United States securities exchange are valued at the last reported sale price on the valuation date. Investments listed or traded on an exchange for which there has been no sale that day are valued at the mean between the last reported bid and asked prices on that valuation date. Portfolio investments reported by NASDAQ are valued at the official closing price on the valuation date. If an investment is traded on more than one exchange, the investment is considered traded on the exchange that is normally the primary market for that investment. Securities and other portfolio investments which are listed or traded on exchanges outside the United States are valued at the last price or the closing price of the investment on the exchange that is normally the primary market for the investment, as of the close of the exchange preceding the Funds’ valuation date. Foreign investments listed or traded on an exchange for which there has been no sale that day are valued at the mean between the last reported bid and asked prices on that valuation date.
In any case when a market quotation is not readily available for a portfolio investment ordinarily valued by market quotation, the Committee calculates a fair value for the investment using alternative methods approved by the Audit Committee. A market quotation is not readily available when the primary market or exchange for the investment is not open for the entire scheduled day of trading. Market quotations for an investment also may not be readily available if developments after the most recent close of the investment’s primary exchange or market, but prior to the close of business on any Funds’ business day, or an unusual event or significant period of time occurring since the availability of a market quotation, create a serious question concerning the reliability of the most recent market quotation available for the investment. In particular, on days when market volatility thresholds established by the Audit Committee are exceeded, foreign equity investments held by the Funds may be valued using alternative methods. The Committee customarily obtains valuations in these instances from pricing service providers approved by the Audit Committee. Pricing service providers ordinarily calculate valuations using multi-factor models to adjust market prices based upon various inputs, including exchange data, depository receipt prices, futures, index data and other data.
Debt obligations held by the Funds which are not listed or traded on exchanges or for which no reported market exists are ordinarily valued at the valuation obtained from a pricing service provider approved by the Audit Committee.
In any case when a pricing service provider fails to provide a valuation for a debt obligation held by the Funds, the Committee calculates a fair value for the obligation using alternative methods under procedures approved by the Audit Committee. Additionally, in cases when management believes that a valuation obtained from a pricing service provider is stale, does not reflect material factors affecting the valuation of the investment, is significantly different than the value the Funds are likely to obtain if it sought a bid for the investment, or is otherwise unreliable, the Committee calculates a fair value for the obligation using an alternative method approved by the Audit Committee.

Quotations for foreign investments expressed in foreign currency amounts are converted to U.S. dollar equivalents using a foreign exchange quotation from a third party service provider at the time of valuation. Foreign investments held by the Funds may be traded on days and at times when the Funds are not open for business. Consequently, the value of Funds’ investments may be significantly affected on days when shareholders cannot purchase or sell Funds’ shares.
Valuation Hierarchy: The Funds categorize their investments based upon the inputs used in valuing those investments, according to a three-level hierarchy established in guidance from the FASB. Categorization of investments using this hierarchy is intended by the FASB to maximize the use of observable inputs in valuing investments and minimize the use of unobservable inputs by requiring that the most observable inputs be used when available. Observable inputs are those that market participants would use in valuing an investment based on available market information. Unobservable inputs are those that reflect assumptions about the information market participants would use in valuing an investment. An investment’s level within the hierarchy is based on the lowest level input that is deemed significant to the valuation. The methodologies and inputs used to value investments are not necessarily indications of the risk or liquidity associated with those investments.
Various inputs are used in calculating valuations for the Fund’s investments. These inputs are generally summarized according to the three-level hierarchy below:
Level 1: Quoted prices in active markets for identical investments.
Level 2: Other direct or indirect significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar investments in active markets and other observable inputs, such as interest rates, prepayment rates, credit ratings, etc.).
Level 3: Significant unobservable inputs (including the Committee’s own assumptions in calculating the fair values of investments).
Valuations for debt obligations held by the Funds are typically calculated by pricing service providers approved by the Audit Committee and are generally characterized as Level 2 within the valuation hierarchy.
On days when market volatility thresholds established by the Audit Committee are exceeded, foreign securities for which valuations are obtained from pricing service providers are fair valued. On these days, the foreign securities are characterized as Level 2 within the valuation hierarchy and revert to Level 1 after the threshold is no longer exceeded.
In any case when a pricing service provider fails to provide a valuation for a debt obligation held by the Funds, the Committee calculates a fair value for the obligation using alternative methods under procedures approved by the Audit Committee. Additionally, in cases when management believes that a valuation obtained from a pricing service provider is stale, does not reflect material factors affecting the valuation of the investment, is significantly different than the value the Funds are likely to obtain if they sought a bid for the investment, or is otherwise unreliable, the Committee calculates a fair value for the obligation using an alternative method approved by the Audit Committee.
In a limited number of cases the Committee calculates a fair value for investments using broker quotations or other methods approved by the Audit Committee. When the Committee uses a single broker quotation to calculate a fair value for an investment without other significant observable inputs, or if a fair value is calculated using other significant inputs that are considered unobservable, the investment is characterized as Level 3 within the hierarchy. Other significant unobservable inputs used to calculate a fair value in these instances might include an income-based valuation approach which considers discounted anticipated future cash flows from the investment and application of discounts due to the nature or duration of any restrictions on the disposition of the investment.
Valuations based upon the use of inputs from Levels 1, 2 or 3 may not represent the actual price received upon the disposition of an investment, and a fund may receive a price that is lower than the valuation based upon these inputs when it sells the investment.

The Trust has entered into an administrative services agreement with the Advisor, whereby the Advisor will perform certain administrative services related to each class of the Funds’ shares. The fees are computed as an annual percentage of the aggregate average daily net assets of all shares classes of all Funds in the Trust as follows:
| Administration Fee Schedule |

Total administrative service fees incurred by each class of shares of the Funds for the six months ended March 31, 2020, are set forth in the Statement of Operations.
The Trust has an underwriting agreement with Thornburg Securities Corporation (the “Distributor”), an affiliate of the Advisor, which acts as the distributor of the Funds’ shares. For the six months ended March 31, 2020, the Distributor has advised the Funds that they earned net commissions from the sale of Class A shares and collected contingent deferred sales charges ("CDSC Fees") from redemptions of Class C shares as follows:
| | Commissions | CDSC fees |
| Income Builder Fund | $ 163,373 | $ 35,282 |

Pursuant to a service plan under Rule 12b-1 of the 1940 Act, the Funds may reimburse to the Distributor an amount not to exceed .25 of 1% per annum of the average daily net assets attributable to the applicable Class A, Class C, Class I, Class R3, Class R4, and Class R5 shares of the Income Builder Fund, Global Opportunities Fund, International Value Fund, International Growth Fund, Value Fund and Growth Fund, Class A, Class C, Class I shares of the Better World International Fund and Class I shares of the Summit Fund and Long/Short Equity Fund. For the six months ended March 31, 2020, there were no 12b-1 service plan fees charged for Class I or Class R5 shares. Class R6 shares are not subject to a service plan. The Advisor and Distributor each may pay out of its own resources additional expenses for distribution of each Funds’ shares and shareholder services.
The Trust has also adopted a distribution plan pursuant to Rule 12b-1, applicable only to the Funds’ Class C and Class R3 shares, under which the Funds compensate the Distributor for services in promoting the sale of Class C and Class R3 shares of the Funds at an annual rate of up to .75 of 1% per annum of the average daily net assets attributable to Class C shares, and an annual rate of up to .25 of 1% per

The Advisor has contractually agreed to waive fees and reimburse expenses incurred by the Funds. The agreement may be terminated by the Funds at any time, but may not be terminated by the Advisor before February 1, 2021, unless the Advisor ceases to be the investment advisor to the Funds prior to that date. The Advisor may recoup amounts waived or reimbursed during the six months ended March 31, 2020 if, during the fiscal year, expenses fall below the contractual limit that was in place at the time these fees and expenses were waived or reimbursed. The Advisor will not recoup fees or expenses as described in the preceding sentence if that recoupment would cause the Fund’s total annual operating expenses (after the recoupment is taken into account) to exceed the lesser of: (a) the expense cap that was in place at the time the waiver or reimbursement occurred; or (b) the expense cap that is in place at the time of the recoupment.
Actual expenses of certain share classes do not exceed levels as specified in each Fund’s most recent prospectus as shown in the following table:

The Funds may purchase or sell securities from or to an affiliated fund, provided the affiliation is due solely to having a common investment advisor, common officers, or common trustees, and provided that all such transactions will comply with Rule 17a-7 under the 1940 Act. For the six months ended March 31, 2020, the Summit Fund had transactions with affiliated funds of $1,336,354 in purchases and $2,375,455 in sales generating realized gains of $22,328.

NOTE 5 – TAXES
Federal Income Taxes: It is the policy of the Trust to comply with the provisions of the Internal Revenue Code applicable to regulated investment companies and to distribute to shareholders substantially all investment company taxable income including net realized gains on investments (if any), and tax exempt income of the Funds. Therefore, no provision for federal income or excise tax is required.
The Funds file income tax returns in United States federal and applicable state jurisdictions. The statute of limitations on the Funds’ tax return filings generally remains open for the three years following a return’s filing date. The Funds have analyzed each uncertain tax position believed to be material in the preparation of the Funds’ financial statements for the six month period ended March 31, 2020, including open tax years, to assess whether it is more likely than not that the position would be sustained upon examination, based on the technical merits of the position. The Funds have not identified any such position for which an asset or liability must be reflected in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities.

At March 31, 2020, the Funds had deferred tax basis capital losses occurring subsequent to October 31, 2018 through September 30, 2019 per the following table. For tax purposes, such losses will be recognized in the year ending September 30, 2020.

At March 31, 2020, the Funds had cumulative tax basis capital losses from prior fiscal years as shown on the following table, which may be carried forward to offset future capital gains. To the extent such carryforwards are used, capital gain distributions may be reduced to the extent provided by regulations. Such capital loss carryforwards do not expire.

Foreign Withholding Taxes: The Funds are subject to foreign tax withholding imposed by certain foreign countries in which the Funds may invest. Withholding taxes are incurred on certain foreign dividends and are accrued at the time the dividend is recognized based on applicable foreign tax laws. The Funds may file withholding tax reclaims in certain jurisdictions to recover a portion of amounts previously withheld, in view of various considerations, including recent decisions rendered by the courts in those and other jurisdictions. The Funds would expect to record a receivable for such a reclaim based on a variety of factors, including assessment of a jurisdiction’s legal obligation to pay reclaims, the jurisdiction’s administrative practices and payment history, and industry convention. To date the Funds have recorded no such receivable because there is limited precedent for collecting such prior year reclaims and the likelihood of collection remains uncertain.
Deferred Foreign Capital Gain Taxes: The Funds are subject to a tax imposed on net realized gains of securities of certain foreign countries. The Funds record an estimated deferred tax liability for net unrealized gains on these investments as reflected in the accompanying financial statements. Such changes are included in net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) from investments in the Statement of Operations.

NOTE 8 – DERIVATIVE FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS WITH OFF-BALANCE
SHEET RISK AND FOREIGN INVESTMENT RISK
The Funds may use a variety of derivative financial instruments to hedge or adjust the risks affecting its investment portfolio or to enhance investment returns. Provisions of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification 815-10-50 (“ASC 815”) require certain disclosures. The disclosures are intended to provide users of financial statements with an understanding of the use of derivative instruments by the Funds and how these derivatives affect the financial position, financial performance and cash flows of the Funds. The Funds do not designate any derivative instruments as hedging instruments under ASC 815. During the six months ended March 31, 2020, the Funds’ principal exposure to derivative financial instruments of the type addressed by ASC 815 was investment in foreign currency contracts. A foreign currency contract is an agreement between two parties to exchange different currencies at a specified rate of exchange at an agreed upon future date. Foreign currency contracts involve risks to the Funds, including the risk that a contract’s counterparty will not meet its obligations to the Funds, the risk that a change in a contract’s value may not correlate perfectly with the currency the contract was intended to track, and the risk that the Funds’ Advisor is unable to correctly implement its strategy in using a contract. In any such instance, the Funds may not achieve the intended benefit of entering into a contract, and may experience a loss.
The Funds entered into forward currency contracts during the six months ended March 31, 2020 in the normal course of pursuing its investment objectives, with the objective of purchasing foreign investments or with the intent of reducing the risk to the value of the Funds’ foreign investments from adverse changes in the relationship between the U.S. dollar and foreign currencies. In each case these contracts have been initiated in conjunction with foreign investment transactions.
The monthly average values of open forward currency sell contracts for the six months ended March 31, 2020 for Income Builder Fund, Global Opportunities Fund, International Value Fund, International Growth Fund and Value Fund were $2,507,102,867; $148,202,816; $42,102,289; $13,136,937 and $23,684,054, respectively.
These contracts are accounted for by the Funds under ASC 815. Unrealized appreciation and depreciation on outstanding contracts are reported in each Fund’s Statement of Assets and Liabilities, as measured by the difference between the forward exchange rates at the reporting date and the forward exchange rates at each contract’s inception date. Net realized gain (loss) on contracts closed during the period, and changes in net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on outstanding contracts are recognized in each Fund’s Statement of Operations.

Notes to Financial Statements, Continued
March 31, 2020 (Unaudited)
The outstanding forward currency contracts in the table located in the Schedule of Investments, which were entered into with State Street Bank and Trust Company (“SSB”), were entered into pursuant to an International Swaps and Derivatives Association (“ISDA”) Master Agreement. Outstanding forward currency contracts, which were entered into with Brown Brothers Harriman & Co. (“BBH”), were entered into pursuant to a written agreement with BBH. In the event of a default or termination under the ISDA Master Agreement with SSB or the agreement with BBH, the non-defaulting party has the right to close out all outstanding forward currency contracts between the parties and to net any payment amounts under those contracts, resulting in a single net amount payable by one party to the other.
Because the ISDA Master Agreement with SSB and the agreement with BBH do not result in an offset of reported amounts of financial assets and liabilities in the Funds’ Statement of Assets and Liabilities unless there has been an event of default or termination event under such agreements, the Funds do not net its outstanding forward currency contracts for the purpose of disclosure in the Funds’ Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Instead the Funds recognize the unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on those forward currency contracts on a gross basis in the Funds’ Statement of Assets and Liabilities.
The unrealized appreciation (depreciation) of the outstanding forward currency contracts recognized in each Fund’s Statement of Assets and Liabilities at March 31, 2020 is disclosed in the following table:

Because the Fund does not receive or post cash collateral in connection with its currency forward contracts during the period, the net amounts of the Fund’s assets and liabilities which are attributable to those contracts at March 31, 2020 can be determined by offsetting the dollar amounts shown in the preceding table. Based on those amounts, the net amount of the Fund’s assets which is attributable to its outstanding forward currency contracts at March 31, 2020 is $20,157,630 attributable to the Fund’s contracts with SSB. The Fund’s forward currency contracts are valued each day, and the net amounts of the Fund’s assets and liabilities which are attributable to those contracts are expected to vary over time.

Expense Example
March 31, 2020 (Unaudited)
As a shareholder of the Fund, you incur two types of costs:
| (1) | transaction costs, including |
| (a) | sales charges (loads) on purchase payments, for Class A shares; |
| (b) | a deferred sales charge on redemptions of any part or all of a purchase of $1 million of Class A shares within 12 months of purchase; |
| (c) | a deferred sales charge on redemptions of Class C shares within 12 months of purchase; |
| (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 the Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds.
The example is based on a $1,000 investment beginning on October 1, 2019, and held until March 31, 2020.
ACTUAL EXPENSES
For each class of shares, the first line of the accompanying table provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this line, 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 for your class of shares under the heading entitled “Expenses Paid During Period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.
HYPOTHETICAL EXAMPLE FOR COMPARISON PURPOSES
For each class of shares, the second line of the accompanying table provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Fund’s actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Fund’s actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Fund and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds.
Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transactional costs, such as sales charges (loads), redemption fees, or exchange fees. Therefore, the second line of the table for each class of shares is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transactional costs were included, your costs would have been higher.

PORTFOLIO PROXY VOTING
Policies and Procedures:
The Trust has delegated to the Advisor voting decisions respecting proxies for the Fund’s voting securities. The Advisor makes voting decisions in accordance with its Proxy Voting Policy and Procedures. A description of the Policy and Procedures is available (i) without charge, upon request, by calling the Advisor toll-free at 1-800-847-0200, (ii) on the Thornburg website at www.thornburg.com, and (iii) on the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission’s website at www.sec.gov.
Information regarding how proxies were voted is available on or before August 31 of each year for the twelve months ending the preceding June 30. This information is available (i) without charge, upon request by calling the Advisor toll-free at 1-800-847-0200, (ii) on the Thornburg website at www.thornburg.com, and (iii) on the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission’s website at www.sec.gov.
AVAILABILITY OF QUARTERLY PORTFOLIO SCHEDULE
The Fund files with the Securities and Exchange Commission schedules of its portfolio holdings on Form N-PORT EX for the first and third quarters of each fiscal year. The Fund’s Form N-PORT EX are available on the Commission’s website at www.sec.gov, or may be reviewed and copied at the Commission’s Public Reference Room in Washington, D.C.

The Fund also makes this information available on its website at www.thornburg.com/download or upon request by calling 1-800-847-0200.
STATEMENT REGARDING LIQUIDITY RISK MANAGEMENT PROGRAM
The Trustees of the Trust have appointed the Advisor (“Program Administrator”) to administer the Trust’s liquidity risk management program (the “LRMP”) adopted for each of the Funds under rule 22e-4 under the 1940 Act (the “Liquidity Rule”). The LRMP is designed to reduce the risk that a Fund will be unable to meet its redemption obligations under the 1940 Act, and to mitigate the dilution of the interests of Fund shareholders occasioned by redemptions tendered by other shareholders (“Liquidity Risk”). Pursuant to the LRMP, the Program Administrator has delegated certain functions, including daily oversight and management of the Funds’ Liquidity Risk, to its Liquidity Risk Management Committee (the “Liquidity Committee”). Under the LRMP, the Liquidity Committee performs the annual review of the LRMP required by the Liquidity Rule.
On December 4, 2019, the Trustees reviewed the Liquidity Committee’s initial written report (the “Report”) concerning the operation of the LRMP for the period from December 1, 2018 through November 22, 2019 (the “Reporting Period”). The Report addressed the operation, adequacy and effectiveness of the LRMP, the operation of a Fund’s highly liquid investment minimum, and any material changes to the LRMP during the Reporting Period. The Report provided an assessment of the various factors relevant to each Fund’s Liquidity Risk, an evaluation of data provided by a third-party liquidity assessment vendor and other relevant data, and reports on the Liquidity Committee’s consideration of intermediary firms with the largest beneficial ownership positions in each Fund, the likelihood that any of those firms may redeem their clients’ investments from the Funds without prior notice, and the effect that such redemptions could have on Fund liquidity. The Report concluded that the LRMP remains adequate and effective to address each Fund’s Liquidity Risk, that all of the Funds are able to meet redemption requests in current market conditions and in reasonably expected stressed conditions without significant dilution of remaining shareholders, that each Fund remains primarily highly liquid, and the third-party liquidity assessment vendor’s system continues to be a useful tool for assessing the Funds’ Liquidity Risk. The Report stated that there have been no instances since the LRMP’s adoption in which a Fund exceeded its limitation on illiquid investments, nor have there been any material changes to the LRMP since its adoption.

Trustees’ Statement to Shareholders (Unaudited)
Readopted September 17, 2019
The Trustees believe current and prospective shareholders should know how we discharge our responsibilities in supervising the Funds’ investment advisor and in reviewing the advisor’s contract for renewal. Since 2005, we have issued a statement which sets out clearly the three principal guidelines that we follow in supervising the Trust’s investment advisor on your behalf. In accordance with our customary practice, in September of this year we again reviewed our statement and concluded we should reissue this statement outlining the principal features of our supervision of the advisor’s performance of investment management services for the Funds.
We begin with the premise that each shareholder selected his or her Fund because its investments are managed by the investment advisor identified in the prospectus and in accordance with the objective and policies described in the prospectus. We realize, as each of you do, that if you believe that your Fund’s stated objective and policies no longer serve your personal investment goals, you can sell your shares and leave the Fund.
Therefore, we believe that our primary supervisory task—our principal obligation to you—is to assess the nature and quality of the advisor’s services, and to confirm that the advisor actively and competently pursues the Fund’s objective, in accordance with the policies set out in the prospectus. To do this, we meet regularly with management to review your Fund’s portfolio and to discuss the advisor’s specific actions and judgments in pursuing the Fund’s objective. We do not substitute our own judgment for the advisor’s decisions in selecting investments; the advisor is paid to exercise its informed judgment on investment decisions, and we seek to confirm, in reviewing the advisor’s performance, that the advisor is doing just that.
Second, we are conscious of costs and the effect that costs have on shareholders’ returns. We try to make sure that your Fund’s fees and costs are reasonable in relationship to the services rendered and that they are generally in line with those charged by other expert investment advisors, consistent with our belief that the Fund’s investors searched for and expect that expertise and attention and have decided to pay a reasonable price for it. We do not put the management contract “out to bid” as a matter of course, and we would not do so unless we had concluded that the advisor materially had failed to pursue the Fund’s objectives in accordance with its policies, or for other equally important reasons. We believe that any other approach would be inconsistent with your interests and contrary to your expectations when you bought shares of the Fund in the first place.
Finally, because we believe that most Thornburg Fund shareholders have invested with a long-term perspective, we try not to focus too much on the fashions of the moment and on short-term performance. The market will not favor any specific investment objective or set of policies at all times and under all economic circumstances. A fund will experience periods of both high and low returns relative to other funds and other investments. Even if one of our Funds is not favored by the market at a particular time, we believe that the advisor is nonetheless obliged to remain true to the Fund’s objective and policies, and we watch to see that it does so.

Table of Contents
Investments carry risks, including possible loss of principal. Portfolios investing in bonds have the same interest rate, inflation, and credit risks that are associated with the underlying bonds. The value of bonds will fluctuate relative to changes in interest rates, decreasing when interest rates rise. This effect is more pronounced for longer-term bonds. Unlike bonds, bond funds have ongoing fees and expenses. Investments in lower rated and unrated bonds may be more sensitive to default, downgrades, and market volatility; these investments may also be less liquid than higher rated bonds. Investments in derivatives are subject to the risks associated with the securities or other assets underlying the pool of securities, including illiquidity and difficulty in valuation. Investments in equity securities are subject to additional risks, such as greater market fluctuations. Additional risks may be associated with investments outside the United States, especially in emerging markets, including currency fluctuations, illiquidity, volatility, and political and economic risks. Please see the Funds’ prospectus for a discussion of the risks associated with an investment in the Funds. Investments in the Funds are not FDIC insured, nor are they bank deposits or guaranteed by a bank or any other entity.

Letter to Shareholders
March 31, 2020 (Unaudited)
Dear Shareholder:
I hope this letter finds you safe and healthy. Amid the COVID-19 pandemic, we’re all adjusting to the challenges of working and living new ways while trying to see into a cloudy future. In these uncertain times, all of us at Thornburg Investment Management are squarely focused on providing you with the best investment outcomes that we can.
Many of our portfolios were well positioned for higher volatility. While we did not predict the cause of this downturn, it’s clear that high prices make for more vulnerable markets. Given our solid liquidity and preparation, we’ve been able to take advantage of price swings as many assets were on sale after the market’s decline. Longer term, it appears even the extraordinary fiscal and monetary support will merely cushion the blow. After all, the reason policy makers’ actions have been so extreme is in large part because they view them as necessary.
Looking forward, our nimble, collaborative investment team is well suited to deliver. The reason that we have a benchmark agnostic, flexible approach is so that we can go where we find value, within the mandate and objectives of the portfolio. While many investment firms have good products and processes, Thornburg is designed to see the world differently, and our perspective from Santa Fe, NM, is especially valuable in challenging times. While many other professionals are siloed into narrow areas of expertise, without the ability to evaluate the bigger picture, we work across sectors and asset classes to find
great investments and put them into balanced portfolios. The last few months have demonstrated the strength of our approach, given its adaptability and capacity to place new information in the context of broad portfolios quickly. Being nimble is part of Thornburg’s culture, and people across the organization are finding new ways to pitch in for the sake of our clients.
No one can predict with certainty what the market has in store for us, especially in the context of the current health crisis. What does seem certain, however, is that the events of the last few months are accelerating change that was already occurring, as well as underlining the vulnerability of many of the systems that many of us take for granted. That is true in our daily lives, as well as in financial markets. We believe our understanding of and participation in the interconnectedness of these markets is our core competency: We’re built for this.
Thank you so much for your time and your business.

NOTE 2 – SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The following is a summary of significant accounting policies followed by each of the Funds in the preparation of its financial statements. Each Fund prepares its financial statements in conformity with United States generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”), including
62 | Thornburg Fixed Income Funds Semi-Annual Report
Notes to Financial Statements, Continued
March 31, 2020 (Unaudited)
investment company accounting and reporting guidance in the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the “FASB”) Accounting Standard Codification Topic 946.
Allocation of Income, Gains, Losses 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 (or the value of the dividend-eligible shares, as appropriate) of each class of shares at the beginning of the day (after adjusting for the current capital shares activity of the respective class). Expenses common to all Funds are allocated among the Funds comprising the Trust based upon their relative net asset values or other appropriate allocation methods. Operating expenses directly attributable to a specific class are charged against the operating income of that class.
Dividends and Distributions to Shareholders: Dividends and distributions to shareholders, which are determined in accordance with federal income tax regulations and may differ from GAAP, are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Ordinary income dividends, if any, are declared daily and paid monthly. Capital gain distributions, if any, are declared and paid annually and more often if deemed necessary by the Advisor. Dividends and distributions are paid and are reinvested in additional shares of the Funds at net asset value per share at the close of business on the ex-dividend date, or at the shareholder’s option, paid in cash.
Foreign Currency Translation: Portfolio investments and other assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollars based on the exchange rate of such currencies against the U.S. dollar on the date of valuation. Purchases and sales of investments and income items denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollars at the exchange rate in effect on the transaction date. When the Funds purchase or sell foreign investments, they will customarily enter into a foreign exchange contract to minimize foreign exchange risk from the trade date to the settlement date of such transactions. The values of such spot contracts are included in receivable for investments sold and payable for investments purchased on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities.
The Funds do not separately report the effect of changes in foreign exchange rates from changes in market prices on investments held. Such changes are included in net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) from investments in the Statement of Operations.
Reported net realized gains and losses from foreign currency transactions arise due to purchases and sales of foreign currencies, currency gains and losses realized between the trade and settlement dates on investment 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. These amounts are included in foreign currency transactions in the Statement of Operations.
Net change in unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on foreign currency translations arise from changes in the fair value of assets and liabilities, other than investments at period end, resulting from changes in exchange rates.
Guarantees and Indemnifications: Under the Trust’s organizational documents (and under separate agreements with the independent Trustees), its officers and Trustees are provided with an indemnification against certain liabilities arising out of the performance of their duties to the Funds. In the normal course of business the Trust may also enter into contracts with service providers that contain general indemnifications. The Trust’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown. However, based on experience, the Trust expects the risk of loss to be remote.
Investment Income: Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date. Certain income from foreign investments is recognized as soon as information is available to the Funds. Interest income is accrued as earned. Premiums and discounts are amortized and accreted, respectively, to first call dates or maturity dates using the effective yield method of the respective investments. These amounts are included in Investment Income in the Statement of Operations.
Investment Transactions: Investment transactions are accounted for on a trade date basis. Realized gains and losses from the sale of investments are recorded on an identified cost basis.
Repurchase Agreements: The Funds may invest excess cash in repurchase agreements whereby the Funds purchase investments, which serve as collateral, with an agreement to resell such collateral to the seller at an agreed upon price at the maturity date of the repurchase agreement. Investments pledged as collateral for repurchase agreements are held in custody until maturity of the repurchase agreement. Provisions in the agreements require that the market value of the collateral is at least equal to the repurchase value in the event of default. In the event of default, the Funds have the right to liquidate the collateral and apply the proceeds in satisfaction of the obligation. Under certain circumstances, in the event of default or bankruptcy by the other party to the agreement, realization and/or retention of the collateral may be subject to legal proceedings.
Security Valuation: All investments in securities held by the Funds are valued as described in Note 3.
Unfunded Loan Commitments: The Strategic Income Fund has entered into a loan commitment with Malamute Energy, Inc., of which at March 31, 2020, $21,523 of the $43,227 par commitment had been funded. The maturity date is June 30, 2020.

Use of Estimates: The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of increases (decreases) in net assets from operations during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
When-Issued and Delayed Delivery Transactions: The Funds may engage in when-issued or delayed delivery transactions. To the extent the Funds engage in such transactions, they will do so for the purpose of acquiring portfolio investments consistent with the Funds’ investment objectives and not for the purpose of investment leverage or to speculate on interest rate or market changes. At the time the Funds make a commitment to purchase an investment on a when-issued or delayed delivery basis, the Funds will record the transaction and reflect the value in determining its net asset value. When effecting such transactions, assets of an amount sufficient to make payment for the portfolio investments to be purchased will be segregated on the Funds’ records on the trade date. Investments purchased on a when-issued or delayed delivery basis do not earn interest until the settlement date. The values of these securities held at March 31, 2020 are detailed in the Schedule of Investments.
NOTE 3 – SECURITY VALUATION
Valuation of the Funds’ portfolio investment securities is performed in accordance with policies and procedures adopted by and under the oversight of the Trustees.
The Trustees of the Trust have appointed the Advisor to assist the Trustees with obtaining fair market values for portfolio investments, evaluating and monitoring professional pricing service providers appointed by the Trustees’ Audit Committee (the “Audit Committee”) to assist in determining fair values for portfolio investments, assisting in calculating fair values for portfolio investments in certain circumstances, and performing other functions in connection with the valuation of investments. The Advisor acts through its Valuation and Pricing Committee (the “Committee”) and other employees of the Advisor. The Committee regularly reviews its own valuation calculations, reviews the valuations, valuation techniques and services furnished by pricing service providers, considers circumstances which may require valuation calculations by the Committee, and reviews previous valuation calculations. The Committee reports to the Audit Committee on the Committee’s activities, the performance of pricing service providers, and other matters relating to valuation of portfolio investments.
In those instances when the Committee assists in calculating a fair value for a portfolio investment, the Committee seeks to determine the price that the Funds would reasonably expect to receive upon a sale of the investment in an orderly transaction between market participants on the valuation date. The Committee customarily utilizes quotations from securities broker dealers in calculating valuations, but also may utilize prices obtained from pricing service providers or other methods approved by the Audit Committee. Because fair values calculated by the Committee are estimates, the calculation of a value for an investment may differ from the price that would be realized by the Funds upon a sale of the investment, and the difference could be material to the Funds’ financial statements. The Committee’s calculation of a fair value for an investment may also differ from the prices obtained by other persons (including other mutual funds) for the investment.
Valuation of Securities: Securities and other portfolio investments which are listed or traded on a United States securities exchange are valued at the last reported sale price on the valuation date. Investments listed or traded on an exchange for which there has been no sale that day are valued at the mean between the last reported bid and asked prices on that valuation date. Portfolio investments reported by NASDAQ are valued at the official closing price on the valuation date. If an investment is traded on more than one exchange, the investment is considered traded on the exchange that is normally the primary market for that investment. Securities and other portfolio investments which are listed or traded on exchanges outside the United States are valued at the last price or the closing price of the investment on the exchange that is normally the primary market for the investment, as of the close of the exchange preceding the Fund’s valuation date. Foreign investments listed or traded on an exchange for which there has been no sale that day are valued at the mean between the last reported bid and asked prices on that valuation date.
In any case when a market quotation is not readily available for a portfolio investment ordinarily valued by market quotation, the Committee calculates a fair value for the investment using alternative methods approved by the Audit Committee. A market quotation is not readily available when the primary market or exchange for the investment is not open for the entire scheduled day of trading. Market quotations for an investment also may not be readily available if developments after the most recent close of the investment’s primary exchange or market, but prior to the close of business on any Fund business day, or an unusual event or significant period of time occurring since the availability of a market quotation, create a serious question concerning the reliability of the most recent market quotation available for the investment. In particular, on days when market volatility thresholds established by the Audit Committee are exceeded, foreign equity investments held by the Fund may be valued using alternative methods. The Committee customarily obtains valuations in these instances from pricing service providers approved by the Audit Committee. Pricing service providers ordinarily calculate valuations using multi-factor models to adjust market prices based upon various inputs, including exchange data, depository receipt prices, futures, index data and other data.

March 31, 2020 (Unaudited)
Debt obligations held by the Funds which are not listed or traded on exchanges or for which no reported market exists are ordinarily valued at the valuation obtained from a pricing service provider approved by the Audit Committee.
In any case when a pricing service provider fails to provide a valuation for a debt obligation held by the Funds, the Committee calculates a fair value for the obligation using alternative methods under procedures approved by the Audit Committee. Additionally, in cases when management believes that a valuation obtained from a pricing service provider is stale, does not reflect material factors affecting the valuation of the investment, is significantly different than the value the Funds are likely to obtain if it sought a bid for the investment, or is otherwise unreliable, the Committee calculates a fair value for the obligation using an alternative method approved by the Audit Committee.
Quotations for foreign investments expressed in foreign currency amounts are converted to U.S. dollar equivalents using a foreign exchange quotation from a third party service provider at the time of valuation. Foreign investments held by the Funds may be traded on days and at times when the Funds are not open for business. Consequently, the value of Funds’ investments may be significantly affected on days when shareholders cannot purchase or sell Funds’ shares.
Valuation Hierarchy: The Funds categorize their investments based upon the inputs used in valuing those investments, according to a three-level hierarchy established in guidance from the FASB. Categorization of investments using this hierarchy is intended by the FASB to maximize the use of observable inputs in valuing investments and minimize the use of unobservable inputs by requiring that the most observable inputs be used when available. Observable inputs are those that market participants would use in valuing an investment based on available market information. Unobservable inputs are those that reflect assumptions about the information market participants would use in valuing an investment. An investment’s level within the hierarchy is based on the lowest level input that is deemed significant to the valuation. The methodologies and inputs used to value investments are not necessarily indications of the risk or liquidity associated with those investments.
Various inputs are used in calculating valuations for the Funds’ investments. These inputs are generally summarized according to the three-level hierarchy below:
Level 1: Quoted prices in active markets for identical investments.
Level 2: Other direct or indirect significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar investments in active markets and other observable inputs, such as interest rates, prepayment rates, credit ratings, etc.).
Level 3: Significant unobservable inputs (including the Committee’s own assumptions in calculating the fair values of investments).
Valuations for debt obligations held by the Funds are typically calculated by pricing service providers approved by the Audit Committee and are generally characterized as Level 2 within the valuation hierarchy.
On days when market volatility thresholds established by the Audit Committee are exceeded, foreign securities for which valuations are obtained from pricing service providers are fair valued. On these days, the foreign securities are characterized as Level 2 within the valuation hierarchy and revert to Level 1 after the threshold is no longer exceeded.
In a limited number of cases the Committee calculates a fair value for investments using broker quotations or other methods approved by the Audit Committee. When the Committee uses a single broker quotation to calculate a fair value for an investment without other significant observable inputs, or if a fair value is calculated using other significant inputs that are considered unobservable, the investment is characterized as Level 3 within the hierarchy. Other significant unobservable inputs used to calculate a fair value in these instances might include an income-based valuation approach which considers discounted anticipated future cash flows from the investment and application of discounts due to the nature or duration of any restrictions on the disposition of the investment.
Valuations based upon the use of inputs from Levels 1, 2 or 3 may not represent the actual price received upon the disposition of an investment, and a fund may receive a price that is lower than the valuation based upon these inputs when it sells the investment.

The Trust has an underwriting agreement with Thornburg Securities Corporation (the “Distributor”), an affiliate of the Advisor, which acts as the distributor of the Funds’ shares. For the six months ended March 31, 2020, the Distributor has advised the Funds that they earned net commissions from the sale of Class A shares and collected contingent deferred sales charges ("CDSC Fees") from redemptions of Class C shares as follows:
| | LIMITED TERM U.S. GOVERNMENT FUND | LIMITED TERM INCOME FUND | LOW DURATION INCOME FUND | STRATEGIC INCOME FUND |
| Commissions | $ 471 | $ 2,649 | $ 89 | $ 25,305 |
| CDSC fees | 6 | 7,200 | — | 3,926 |
Pursuant to a service plan under Rule 12b-1 of the 1940 Act, the Funds may reimburse to the Distributor an amount not to exceed .25 of 1% per annum of the average daily net assets attributable to the applicable Class A, Class C, Class I, Class R3, Class R4, and Class R5 shares of the Limited Term U.S. Government Fund, Limited Term Income Fund and Strategic Income Fund and .20 of 1% per annum of the average daily net assets attributable to the applicable Class A and Class I of the Low Duration Income Fund for payments made by the

Distributor to securities dealers and other financial institutions to obtain various shareholder and distribution related services. For the six months ended March 31, 2020, there were no 12b-1 service plan fees charged for Class I or Class R5 shares. Class R6 shares are not subject to a service plan. The Advisor and Distributor each may pay out of its own resources additional expenses for distribution of each Funds’ shares and shareholder services.
The Trust has also adopted a distribution plan pursuant to Rule 12b-1, applicable to each Fund’s Class C and Class R3 shares, under which the Funds compensate the Distributor for services in promoting the sale of Class C and R3 shares of the Funds at an annual rate of up to .25 of 1% per annum of the average daily net assets attributable to Class C and Class R3 shares. Total fees incurred by each class of shares of the Funds under their respective service and distribution plans for the six months ended March 31, 2020, are set forth in the Statements of Operations.
The Advisor has contractually agreed to waive fees and reimburse expenses incurred by the Funds. The agreement may be terminated by the Funds at any time, but may not be terminated by the Advisor before February 1, 2021, unless the Advisor ceases to be the investment advisor to the Funds prior to that date. The Advisor may recoup amounts waived or reimbursed during the six months ended March 31, 2020 if, during the fiscal year, expenses fall below the contractual limit that was in place at the time these fees and expenses were waived or reimbursed. The Advisor will not recoup fees or expenses as described in the preceding sentence if that recoupment would cause the Fund’s total annual operating expenses (after the recoupment is taken into account) to exceed the lesser of: (a) the expense cap that was in place at the time the waiver or reimbursement occurred; or (b) the expense cap that is in place at the time of the recoupment.
Actual expenses of certain share classes do not exceed levels as specified in each Fund’s most recent prospectus as shown on the following table:

For the six months ended March 31, 2020, the Advisor contractually reimbursed certain class specific expenses and distribution fees and voluntarily waived Fund level investment advisory fees as follows:

Certain officers and Trustees of the Trust are also officers or directors of the Advisor and Distributor. The compensation of the independent Trustees is borne by the Trust. The Trust also pays a portion of the Chief Compliance Officer’s compensation. These amounts are reflected as Trustee and officer fees in the Statement of Operations.

The Funds may purchase or sell securities from or to an affiliated fund, provided the affiliation is due solely to having a common investment advisor, common officers, or common trustees, and provided that all such transactions will comply with Rule 17a-7 under the 1940 Act. For the six months ended March 31, 2020, Limited Term U.S. Government Fund had transactions with affiliated funds of $18,127,798 in purchases and $1,336,324 in sales generating no realized gains or losses, Limited Term Income Fund had transactions with affiliated funds of $235,285 in purchases and $8,377,471 in sales generating realized gains of $228,759, Low Duration Income Fund had transactions with affiliated funds of $151,271 in purchases and $653,597 in sales generating realized gains of $30,291, Strategic Income Fund had transactions with affiliated funds of $7,107,831 in sales generating realized gains of $147,575.

NOTE 5 – TAXES
Federal Income Taxes: It is the policy of the Trust to comply with the provisions of the Internal Revenue Code applicable to regulated investment companies and to distribute to shareholders substantially all investment company taxable income including net realized gains on investments (if any), and tax exempt income of the Funds. Therefore, no provision for federal income or excise tax is required.
The Funds file income tax returns in United States federal and applicable state jurisdictions. The statute of limitations on the Funds’ tax return filings generally remains open for the three years following a return’s filing date. The Funds have analyzed each uncertain tax position believed to be material in the preparation of the Funds’ financial statements for the six month period ended March 31, 2020, including open tax years, to assess whether it is more likely than not that the position would be sustained upon examination, based on the technical merits of the position. The Funds have not identified any such position for which an asset or liability must be reflected in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities.
At March 31, 2020, information on the tax components of capital was as follows:

At March 31, 2020, the Strategic Income Fund had deferred tax basis late-year ordinary losses losses occurring subsequent to October 31, 2018 through September 30, 2019 of $1,413,244. For tax purposes, such losses will be recognized in the year ending September 30, 2020.
At March 31, 2020, the Funds had deferred tax basis capital losses occurring subsequent to October 31, 2018 through September 30, 2019 per the following table. For tax purposes, such losses will be recognized in the year ending September 30, 2020.
| | Capital Losses |
| Limited Term U.S. Government Fund | $ 1,001,586 |
At March 31, 2020, the Funds had cumulative tax basis capital losses from prior fiscal years as shown on the following table, which may be carried forward to offset future capital gains. To the extent such carryforwards are used, capital gain distributions may be reduced to the extent provided by regulations. Such capital loss carryforwards do not expire.
| | Cumulative Capital Losses |
| | Short-Term | Long-Term |
| Limited Term U.S. Government Fund | $ 2,368,435 | $ 9,134,051 |
| Strategic Income Fund | — | 21,517,681 |
Foreign Withholding Taxes: The Funds are subject to foreign tax withholding imposed by certain foreign countries in which the Funds may invest. Withholding taxes are incurred on certain foreign dividends and are accrued at the time the dividend is recognized based on

applicable foreign tax laws. The Funds may file withholding tax reclaims in certain jurisdictions to recover a portion of amounts previously withheld, in view of various considerations, including recent decisions rendered by the courts in those and other jurisdictions. The Funds would expect to record a receivable for such a reclaim based on a variety of factors, including assessment of a jurisdiction’s legal obligation to pay reclaims, the jurisdiction’s administrative practices and payment history, and industry convention. To date the Funds have recorded no such receivable because there is limited precedent for collecting such prior year reclaims and the likelihood of collection remains uncertain.
Deferred Foreign Capital Gain Taxes: The Funds are subject to a tax imposed on net realized gains of securities of certain foreign countries. The Funds record an estimated deferred tax liability for net unrealized gains on these investments as reflected in the accompanying financial statements. Such changes are included in net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) from investments in the Statement of Operations.

NOTE 8 – DERIVATIVE FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS WITH OFF-BALANCE
SHEET RISK AND FOREIGN INVESTMENT RISK
The Funds may use a variety of derivative financial instruments to hedge or adjust the risks affecting its investment portfolio or to enhance investment returns. Provisions of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification 815-10-50 (“ASC 815”) require certain disclosures. The disclosures are intended to provide users of financial statements with an understanding of the use of derivative instruments by the Funds and how these derivatives affect the financial position, financial performance and cash flows of the Funds. The Funds do not designate any derivative instruments as hedging instruments under ASC 815. During the six months ended March 31, 2020, the Funds’ principal exposure to derivative financial instruments of the type addressed by ASC 815 was investment in foreign currency contracts. A foreign currency contract is an agreement between two parties to exchange different currencies at a specified rate of exchange at an agreed upon future date. Foreign currency contracts involve risks to the Funds, including the risk that a contract’s counterparty will not meet its obligations to the Funds, the risk that a change in a contract’s value may not correlate perfectly with the currency the contract was intended to track, and the risk that the Funds’ Advisor is unable to correctly implement its strategy in using a contract. In any such instance, the Funds may not achieve the intended benefit of entering into a contract, and may experience a loss.
The Funds entered into forward currency contracts during the six months ended March 31, 2020 in the normal course of pursuing its investment objectives, with the objective of purchasing foreign investments or with the intent of reducing the risk to the value of the Funds’ foreign investments from adverse changes in the relationship between the U.S. dollar and foreign currencies. In each case these contracts have been initiated in conjunction with foreign investment transactions. The monthly average value of open forward currency sell contracts for the six months ended March 31, 2020 for Strategic Income Fund was $2,263,447.
These contracts are accounted for by the Funds under ASC 815. Unrealized appreciation and depreciation on outstanding contracts are reported in each Fund’s Statement of Assets and Liabilities, as measured by the difference between the forward exchange rates at the
74 | Thornburg Fixed Income Funds Semi-Annual Report
Notes to Financial Statements, Continued
March 31, 2020 (Unaudited)
reporting date and the forward exchange rates at each contract’s inception date. Net realized gain (loss) on contracts closed during the period, and changes in net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on outstanding contracts are recognized in each Fund’s Statement of Operations.
The outstanding forward currency contracts in the table located in the Strategic Income Fund’s Schedule of Investments, which were entered into with State Street Bank and Trust Company (“SSB”), were entered into pursuant to an International Swaps and Derivatives Association (“ISDA”) Master Agreement. In the event of a default or termination under the ISDA Master Agreement with SSB, the non-defaulting party has the right to close out all outstanding forward currency contracts between the parties and to net any payment amounts under those contracts, resulting in a single net amount payable by one party to the other.
Because the ISDA Master Agreement with SSB does not result in an offset of reported amounts of financial assets and liabilities in the Strategic Income Fund’s Statement of Assets and Liabilities unless there has been an event of default or termination event under that agreement, the Fund does not net its outstanding forward currency contracts for purposes of the disclosure in the Strategic Income Fund’s Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Instead the Fund recognizes the unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on those forward currency contracts on a gross basis in the Strategic Income Fund’s Statement of Assets and Liabilities.
The unrealized appreciation (depreciation) of the outstanding forward currency contracts recognized in the Strategic Income Fund’s Statement of Assets and Liabilities at March 31, 2020 is disclosed in the following table:
STRATEGIC INCOME FUND
| FAIR VALUES OF DERIVATIVE FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS AT MARCH 31, 2020 |
| LIABILITY DERIVATIVES | BALANCE SHEET LOCATION | FAIR VALUE |
| Foreign currency contracts | Liabilities - Unrealized depreciation on forward currency contracts | $ (43,143) |
Because the Strategic Income Fund does not receive or post cash collateral in connection with its forward currency contracts during the period, the net amounts of the Strategic Income Fund’s assets and liabilities which are attributable to those contracts at March 31, 2020 can be determined by offsetting the dollar amounts shown in the preceding table. Based on those amounts, the net amount of the Strategic Income Fund’s assets which is attributable to its outstanding forward currency contracts with SSB at March 31, 2020 is $0, and the net amount of the liabilities is $43,143. The Strategic Income Fund’s forward currency contracts are valued each day, and the net amounts of the Fund’s assets and liabilities which are attributable to those contracts are expected to vary over time.
The net realized gain (loss) from forward currency contracts and the net change in unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on outstanding forward currency contracts recognized in the Strategic Income Fund’s Statement of Operations for the six months ended March 31, 2020 are disclosed in the following table:

Thornburg Fixed Income Funds Semi-Annual Report | 83
Expense Example
March 31, 2020 (Unaudited)
As a shareholder of the Fund, you incur two types of costs:
| (1) | transaction costs, including |
| (a) | sales charges (loads) on purchase payments, for Class A shares; |
| (b) | a deferred sales charge on redemptions of any part or all of a purchase of $1 million of Class A shares within 12 months of purchase; |
| (c) | a deferred sales charge on redemptions of Class C shares within 12 months of purchase; |
| (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 the Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds.
The example is based on a $1,000 investment beginning on October 1, 2019, and held until March 31, 2020.
ACTUAL EXPENSES
For each class of shares, the first line of the accompanying table provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this line, 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 for your class of shares under the heading entitled “Expenses Paid During Period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.
HYPOTHETICAL EXAMPLE FOR COMPARISON PURPOSES
For each class of shares, the second line of the accompanying table provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Fund’s actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Fund’s actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Fund and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds.
Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transactional costs, such as sales charges (loads), redemption fees, or exchange fees. Therefore, the second line of the table for each class of shares is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transactional costs were included, your costs would have been higher.

STATEMENT REGARDING LIQUIDITY RISK MANAGEMENT PROGRAM
The Trustees of the Trust have appointed the Advisor (“Program Administrator”) to administer the Trust’s liquidity risk management program (the “LRMP”) adopted for each of the Funds under rule 22e-4 under the 1940 Act (the “Liquidity Rule”). The LRMP is designed to reduce the risk that a Fund will be unable to meet its redemption obligations under the 1940 Act, and to mitigate the dilution of the interests of Fund shareholders occasioned by redemptions tendered by other shareholders (“Liquidity Risk”). Pursuant to the LRMP, the Program Administrator has delegated certain functions, including daily oversight and management of the Funds’ Liquidity Risk, to its Liquidity Risk Management Committee (the “Liquidity Committee”). Under the LRMP, the Liquidity Committee performs the annual review of the LRMP required by the Liquidity Rule.
On December 4, 2019, the Trustees reviewed the Liquidity Committee’s initial written report (the “Report”) concerning the operation of the LRMP for the period from December 1, 2018 through November 22, 2019 (the “Reporting Period”). The Report addressed the operation, adequacy and effectiveness of the LRMP, the operation of a Fund’s highly liquid investment minimum, and any material changes to the LRMP during the Reporting Period. The Report provided an assessment of the various factors relevant to each Fund’s Liquidity Risk, an evaluation of data provided by a third-party liquidity assessment vendor and other relevant data, and reports on the Liquidity Committee’s consideration of intermediary firms with the largest beneficial ownership positions in each Fund, the likelihood that any of those firms may redeem their clients’ investments from the Funds without prior notice, and the effect that such redemptions could have on Fund liquidity. The Report concluded that the LRMP remains adequate and effective to address each Fund’s Liquidity Risk, that all of the Funds are able to meet redemption requests in current market conditions and in reasonably expected stressed conditions without significant dilution of remaining shareholders, that each Fund remains primarily highly liquid, and the third-party liquidity assessment vendor’s system continues to be a useful tool for assessing the Funds’ Liquidity Risk. The Report stated that there have been no instances since the LRMP’s adoption in which a Fund exceeded its limitation on illiquid investments, nor have there been any material changes to the LRMP since its adoption.

Trustees’ Statement to Shareholders (Unaudited)
Readopted September 17, 2019
The Trustees believe current and prospective shareholders should know how we discharge our responsibilities in supervising the Funds’ investment advisor and in reviewing the advisor’s contract for renewal. Since 2005, we have issued a statement which sets out clearly the three principal guidelines that we follow in supervising the Trust’s investment advisor on your behalf. In accordance with our customary practice, in September of this year we again reviewed our statement and concluded we should reissue this statement outlining the principal features of our supervision of the advisor’s performance of investment management services for the Funds.
We begin with the premise that each shareholder selected his or her Fund because its investments are managed by the investment advisor identified in the prospectus and in accordance with the objective and policies described in the prospectus. We realize, as each of you do, that if you believe that your Fund’s stated objective and policies no longer serve your personal investment goals, you can sell your shares and leave the Fund.
Therefore, we believe that our primary supervisory task—our principal obligation to you—is to assess the nature and quality of the advisor’s services, and to confirm that the advisor actively and competently pursues the Fund’s objective, in accordance with the policies set out in the prospectus. To do this, we meet regularly with management to review your Fund’s portfolio and to discuss the advisor’s specific actions and judgments in pursuing the Fund’s objective. We do not substitute our own judgment for the advisor’s decisions in selecting investments; the advisor is paid to exercise its informed judgment on investment decisions, and we seek to confirm, in reviewing the advisor’s performance, that the advisor is doing just that.
Second, we are conscious of costs and the effect that costs have on shareholders’ returns. We try to make sure that your Fund’s fees and costs are reasonable in relationship to the services rendered and that they are generally in line with those charged by other expert investment advisors, consistent with our belief that the Fund’s investors searched for and expect that expertise and attention and have decided to pay a reasonable price for it. We do not put the management contract “out to bid” as a matter of course, and we would not do so unless we had concluded that the advisor materially had failed to pursue the Fund’s objectives in accordance with its policies, or for other equally important reasons. We believe that any other approach would be inconsistent with your interests and contrary to your expectations when you bought shares of the Fund in the first place.
Finally, because we believe that most Thornburg Fund shareholders have invested with a long-term perspective, we try not to focus too much on the fashions of the moment and on short-term performance. The market will not favor any specific investment objective or set of policies at all times and under all economic circumstances. A fund will experience periods of both high and low returns relative to other funds and other investments. Even if one of our Funds is not favored by the market at a particular time, we believe that the advisor is nonetheless obliged to remain true to the Fund’s objective and policies, and we watch to see that it does so.

Investments carry risks, including possible loss of principal. Portfolios investing in bonds have the same interest rate, inflation, and credit risks that are associated with the underlying bonds. The value of bonds will fluctuate relative to changes in interest rates, decreasing when interest rates rise. Unlike bonds, bond funds have ongoing fees and expenses. Please see the Funds’ prospectus for a discussion of the risks associated with an investment in the Funds. Investments in the Funds are not FDIC insured, nor are they bank deposits or guaranteed by a bank or any other entity.

Letter to Shareholders
March 31, 2020 (Unaudited)
Dear Shareholder:
I hope this letter finds you safe and healthy. Amid the COVID-19 pandemic, we’re all adjusting to the challenges of working and living new ways while trying to see into a cloudy future. In these uncertain times, all of us at Thornburg Investment Management are squarely focused on providing you with the best investment outcomes that we can.
Many of our portfolios were well positioned for higher volatility. While we did not predict the cause of this downturn, it’s clear that high prices make for more vulnerable markets. Given our solid liquidity and preparation, we’ve been able to take advantage of price swings as many assets were on sale after the market’s decline. Longer term, it appears even the extraordinary fiscal and monetary support will merely cushion the blow. After all, the reason policy makers’ actions have been so extreme is in large part because they view them as necessary.
Looking forward, our nimble, collaborative investment team is well suited to deliver. The reason that we have a benchmark agnostic, flexible approach is so that we can go where we find value, within the mandate and objectives of the portfolio. While many investment firms have good products and processes, Thornburg is designed to see the world differently, and our perspective from Santa Fe, NM, is especially valuable in challenging times. While many other professionals are siloed into narrow areas of expertise, without the ability to evaluate the bigger picture, we work across sectors and asset classes to find
great investments and put them into balanced portfolios. The last few months have demonstrated the strength of our approach, given its adaptability and capacity to place new information in the context of broad portfolios quickly. Being nimble is part of Thornburg’s culture, and people across the organization are finding new ways to pitch in for the sake of our clients.
No one can predict with certainty what the market has in store for us, especially in the context of the current health crisis. What does seem certain, however, is that the events of the last few months are accelerating change that was already occurring, as well as underlining the vulnerability of many of the systems that many of us take for granted. That is true in our daily lives, as well as in financial markets. We believe our understanding of and participation in the interconnectedness of these markets is our core competency: We’re built for this.
Thank you so much for your time and your business.

Bond Credit Ratings (Credit Quality) – A bond credit rating assesses the financial ability of a debt issuer to make timely payments of principal and interest. Ratings of AAA (the highest), AA, A, and BBB are investment-grade quality. Ratings of BB, B, CCC, CC, C and D (the lowest) are considered below investment grade, speculative grade, or junk bonds.
Duration – A bond’s sensitivity to interest rates. Bonds with longer durations experience greater price volatility than bonds with shorter durations. Effective duration incorporates a bond’s embedded option features, such as call provisions.
Yield Curve – A line that plots the interest rates, at a set point in time, of bonds having equal credit quality, but differing maturity dates.

Fund Summary
Thornburg Short Duration Municipal Fund | March 31, 2020 (Unaudited)
OBJECTIVES AND STRATEGIES
The Fund seeks current income exempt from federal income tax, consistent with preservation of capital.
This Fund invests principally in a laddered portfolio of municipal bonds with a dollar-weighted average duration of normally no more than three years. Laddering involves building a portfolio of bonds with staggered maturities so that a portion of the portfolio matures each year. Cash from maturing bonds, if not needed for other purposes, is typically invested in bonds with longer maturities at the far end of the ladder. We regard the strategy as a good compromise for managing different types of risk.

Fund Summary
Thornburg Limited Term Municipal Fund | March 31, 2020 (Unaudited)
OBJECTIVES AND STRATEGIES
The Fund’s primary investment objective is to obtain as high a level of current income exempt from federal individual income tax as is consistent, in the view of the Fund’s investment advisor, with preservation of capital.
The secondary goal of the Fund is to reduce expected changes in its share price compared to longer intermediate and long-term bond portfolios.
This Fund is a laddered portfolio of municipal bonds with a dollar-weighted average maturity of normally less than five years. Laddering involves building a portfolio of bonds with staggered maturities so that a portion of the portfolio matures each year. Cash from maturing bonds, if not needed for other purposes, is typically invested in bonds with longer maturities at the far end of the ladder.

The Fund’s primary investment objective is to obtain as high a level of current income exempt from federal and California state individual income taxes as is consistent, in the view of the Fund’s investment advisor, with preservation of capital.
The secondary goal of the Fund is to reduce expected changes in its share price compared to longer intermediate and long-term bond portfolios.
As described in the Fund’s prospectus, the Fund seeks to offer California investors tax-free yields from investments exempt from California and regular federal income taxes in a laddered municipal bond portfolio with a dollar-weighted average maturity of normally less than five years. Laddering involves building a portfolio of bonds with staggered maturities so that a portion of the portfolio matures each year. Cash from maturing bonds, if not needed for other purposes, is typically invested in bonds with longer maturities at the far end of the ladder. We regard this strategy as a good compromise for managing different types of risk.

NOTE 2 – SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The following is a summary of significant accounting policies followed by each of the Funds in the preparation of its financial statements. Each Fund prepares its financial statements in conformity with United States generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”), including investment company accounting and reporting guidance in the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the “FASB”) Accounting Standard Codification Topic 946.
Allocation of Income, Gains, Losses 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 (or the value of the dividend-eligible shares, as appropriate) of each class of shares at the beginning of the day (after adjusting for the current capital shares activity of the respective class). Expenses common to all Funds are allocated among the Funds comprising the Trust based upon their relative net asset values or other appropriate allocation methods. Operating expenses directly attributable to a specific class are charged against the operating income of that class.
Dividends and Distributions to Shareholders: Dividends and distributions to shareholders, which are determined in accordance with federal income tax regulations and may differ from GAAP, are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Ordinary income dividends, if any, are declared daily and paid monthly. Capital gain distributions, if any, are declared and paid annually and more often if deemed necessary by Thornburg Investment Management, Inc., the Trust’s investment advisor (the "Advisor"). Dividends and distributions are paid and are reinvested in additional shares of the Funds at net asset value per share at the close of business on the ex-dividend date, or at the shareholder’s option, paid in cash.
Guarantees and Indemnifications: Under the Trust’s organizational documents (and under separate agreements with the independent Trustees), its officers and Trustees are provided with an indemnification against certain liabilities arising out of the performance of their duties to the Funds. In the normal course of business the Trust may also enter into contracts with service providers that contain general indemnifications. The Trust’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown. However, based on experience, the Trust expects the risk of loss to be remote.
Investment Income: Interest income is accrued as earned. Premiums and discounts are amortized and accreted, respectively, to first call dates or maturity dates using the effective yield method of the respective investments. These amounts are included in Investment Income in the Statement of Operations.
Investment Transactions: Investment transactions are accounted for on a trade date basis. Realized gains and losses from the sale of investments are recorded on an identified cost basis.
Security Valuation: All investments in securities held by the Funds are valued as described in Note 3.
Use of Estimates: The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of increases (decreases) in net assets from operations during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
When-Issued and Delayed Delivery Transactions: The Funds may engage in when-issued or delayed delivery transactions. To the extent the Funds engage in such transactions, they will do so for the purpose of acquiring portfolio investments consistent with the Funds’ investment

objectives and not for the purpose of investment leverage or to speculate on interest rate or market changes. At the time the Funds make a commitment to purchase an investment on a when-issued or delayed delivery basis, the Funds will record the transaction and reflect the value in determining its net asset value. When effecting such transactions, assets of an amount sufficient to make payment for the portfolio investments to be purchased will be segregated on the Funds’ records on the trade date. Investments purchased on a when-issued or delayed delivery basis do not earn interest until the settlement date. The values of these securities held at March 31, 2020 are detailed in the Schedule of Investments.
NOTE 3 – SECURITY VALUATION
Valuation of the Funds’ portfolio investment securities is performed in accordance with policies and procedures adopted by and under the oversight of the Trustees.
The Trustees of the Trust have appointed the Advisor to assist the Trustees with obtaining fair market values for portfolio investments, evaluating and monitoring professional pricing service providers appointed by the Trustees’ Audit Committee (the “Audit Committee”) to assist in determining fair values for portfolio investments, assisting in calculating fair values for portfolio investments in certain circumstances, and performing other functions in connection with the valuation of investments. The Advisor acts through its Valuation and Pricing Committee (the “Committee”) and other employees of the Advisor. The Committee regularly reviews its own valuation calculations, reviews the valuations, valuation techniques and services furnished by pricing service providers, considers circumstances which may require valuation calculations by the Committee, and reviews previous valuation calculations. The Committee reports to the Audit Committee on the Committee’s activities, the performance of pricing service providers, and other matters relating to valuation of portfolio investments.
In those instances when the Committee assists in calculating a fair value for a portfolio investment, the Committee seeks to determine the price that the Funds would reasonably expect to receive upon a sale of the investment in an orderly transaction between market participants on the valuation date. The Committee customarily utilizes quotations from securities broker dealers in calculating valuations, but also may utilize prices obtained from pricing service providers or other methods approved by the Audit Committee. Because fair values calculated by the Committee are estimates, the calculation of a value for an investment may differ from the price that would be realized by the Funds upon a sale of the investment, and the difference could be material to the Funds’ financial statements. The Committee’s calculation of a fair value for an investment may also differ from the prices obtained by other persons (including other mutual funds) for the investment.
Valuation of Securities: Debt obligations held by the Funds which are not listed or traded on exchanges or for which no reported market exists are ordinarily valued at the valuation obtained from a pricing service provider approved by the Audit Committee.
In any case when a pricing service provider fails to provide a valuation for a debt obligation held by the Funds, the Committee calculates a fair value for the obligation using alternative methods under procedures approved by the Audit Committee. Additionally, in cases when management believes that a valuation obtained from a pricing service provider is stale, does not reflect material factors affecting the valuation of the investment, is significantly different than the value the Funds are likely to obtain if it sought a bid for the investment, or is otherwise unreliable, the Committee calculates a fair value for the obligation using an alternative method approved by the Audit Committee.
Valuation Hierarchy: The Funds categorize their investments based upon the inputs used in valuing those investments, according to a three-level hierarchy established in guidance from the FASB. Categorization of investments using this hierarchy is intended by the FASB to maximize the use of observable inputs in valuing investments and minimize the use of unobservable inputs by requiring that the most observable inputs be used when available. Observable inputs are those that market participants would use in valuing an investment based on available market information. Unobservable inputs are those that reflect assumptions about the information market participants would use in valuing an investment. An investment’s level within the hierarchy is based on the lowest level input that is deemed significant to the valuation. The methodologies and inputs used to value investments are not necessarily indications of the risk or liquidity associated with those investments.
Various inputs are used in calculating valuations for the Fund’s investments. These inputs are generally summarized according to the three-level hierarchy below:
Level 1: Quoted prices in active markets for identical investments.
Level 2: Other direct or indirect significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar investments in active markets and other observable inputs, such as interest rates, prepayment rates, credit ratings, etc.).
Level 3: Significant unobservable inputs (including the Committee’s own assumptions in calculating the fair values of investments).

Notes to Financial Statements, Continued
March 31, 2020 (Unaudited)
Valuations for debt obligations held by the Funds are typically calculated by pricing service providers approved by the Audit Committee and are generally characterized as Level 2 within the valuation hierarchy.
In a limited number of cases the Committee calculates a fair value for investments using broker quotations or other methods approved by the Audit Committee. When the Committee uses a single broker quotation to calculate a fair value for an investment without other significant observable inputs, or if a fair value is calculated using other significant inputs that are considered unobservable, the investment is characterized as Level 3 within the hierarchy. Other significant unobservable inputs used to calculate a fair value in these instances might include an income-based valuation approach which considers discounted anticipated future cash flows from the investment and application of discounts due to the nature or duration of any restrictions on the disposition of the investment.
Valuations based upon the use of inputs from Levels 1, 2 or 3 may not represent the actual price received upon the disposition of an investment, and a fund may receive a price that is lower than the valuation based upon these inputs when it sells the investment.
The following tables display a summary of the fair value hierarchy measurements of each Fund’s investments as of March 31, 2020:

Total administrative service fees incurred by each class of shares of the Funds for the six months ended March 31, 2020, are set forth in the Statement of Operations.
The Trust has an underwriting agreement with Thornburg Securities Corporation (the “Distributor”), an affiliate of the Advisor, which acts as the distributor of the Funds’ shares. For the six months ended March 31, 2020, the Distributor has advised the Funds that they earned net commissions from the sale of Class A shares and collected contingent deferred sales charges ("CDSC Fees") from redemptions of Class C shares as follows:
| | Commissions | CDSC fees |

| Intermediate New York Fund | 13 | — |
| Intermediate Municipal Fund | 1,125 | 173 |
| Strategic Municipal Income Fund | 958 | 1,383 |
Pursuant to a service plan under Rule 12b-1 of the 1940 Act, the Funds may reimburse to the Distributor an amount not to exceed .25 of 1% per annum of the average daily net assets attributable to the applicable Class A, Class C and Class I shares of the Limited Term Municipal Fund, Limited Term California Fund, Intermediate Municipal Fund and Strategic Municipal Income Fund, Class A and Class I shares of the Short Duration Municipal Fund and Intermediate New York Fund and Class A, Class D and Class I shares of the Intermediate New Mexico Fund for payments made by the Distributor to securities dealers and other financial institutions to obtain various shareholder and distribution related services. For the six months ended March 31, 2020, there were no 12b-1 service plan fees charged for Class I. The Advisor and Distributor each may pay out of its own resources additional expenses for distribution of each Fund’s shares and shareholder services.
The Trust has also adopted a distribution plan pursuant to Rule 12b-1, applicable only to the Fund’s Class C shares, under which the Fund compensates the Distributor for services in promoting the sale of Class C shares of the Fund at an annual rate of up to .25 of 1% per annum of the average daily net assets attributable to Class C shares. Total fees incurred by each class of shares of the Funds under their respective service and distribution plans for the six months ended March 31, 2020, are set forth in the Statements of Operations.
The Advisor has contractually agreed to waive fees and reimburse expenses incurred by the Funds. The agreement may be terminated by the Funds at any time, but may not be terminated by the Advisor before February 1, 2021, unless the Advisor ceases to be the investment advisor to the Funds prior to that date. The Advisor may recoup amounts waived or reimbursed during the six months ended March 31, 2020 if, during the fiscal year, expenses fall below the contractual limit that was in place at the time these fees and expenses were waived or reimbursed. The Advisor will not recoup fees or expenses as described in the preceding sentence if that recoupment would cause the Fund’s total annual operating expenses (after the recoupment is taken into account) to exceed the lesser of: (a) the expense cap that was in place at the time the waiver or reimbursement occurred; or (b) the expense cap that is in place at the time of the recoupment.

NOTE 5 – TAXES
Federal Income Taxes: It is the policy of the Trust to comply with the provisions of the Internal Revenue Code applicable to regulated investment companies and to distribute to shareholders substantially all investment company taxable income including net realized gains on investments (if any), and tax exempt income of the Funds. Therefore, no provision for federal income or excise tax is required.
The Funds file income tax returns in United States federal and applicable state jurisdictions. The statute of limitations on the Funds’ tax return filings generally remains open for the three years following a return’s filing date. The Funds have analyzed each uncertain tax position believed to be material in the preparation of the Funds’ financial statements for the six month period ended March 31, 2020, including open tax years, to assess whether it is more likely than not that the position would be sustained upon examination, based on the technical merits of the position. The Funds have not identified any such position for which an asset or liability must be reflected in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities.

Expense Example
March 31, 2020 (Unaudited)
As a shareholder of the Fund, you incur two types of costs:
| (1) | transaction costs, including |
| (a) | sales charges (loads) on purchase payments, for Class A shares; |
| (b) | a deferred sales charge on redemptions of any part or all of a purchase of $1 million of Class A shares within 12 months of purchase; |
| (c) | a deferred sales charge on redemptions of Class C shares within 12 months of purchase; |
| (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 the Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds.
The example is based on a $1,000 investment beginning on October 1, 2019, and held until March 31, 2020.
ACTUAL EXPENSES
For each class of shares, the first line of the accompanying table provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this line, 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 for your class of shares under the heading entitled “Expenses Paid During Period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.
HYPOTHETICAL EXAMPLE FOR COMPARISON PURPOSES
For each class of shares, the second line of the accompanying table provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Fund’s actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Fund’s actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Fund and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds.
Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transactional costs, such as sales charges (loads), redemption fees, or exchange fees. Therefore, the second line of the table for each class of shares is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transactional costs were included, your costs would have been higher.

STATEMENT REGARDING LIQUIDITY RISK MANAGEMENT PROGRAM
The Trustees of the Trust have appointed the Advisor (“Program Administrator”) to administer the Trust’s liquidity risk management program (the “LRMP”) adopted for each of the Funds under rule 22e-4 under the 1940 Act (the “Liquidity Rule”). The LRMP is designed to reduce the risk that a Fund will be unable to meet its redemption obligations under the 1940 Act, and to mitigate the dilution of the interests of Fund shareholders occasioned by redemptions tendered by other shareholders (“Liquidity Risk”). Pursuant to the LRMP, the Program Administrator has delegated certain functions, including daily oversight and management of the Funds’ Liquidity Risk, to its Liquidity Risk Management Committee (the “Liquidity Committee”). Under the LRMP, the Liquidity Committee performs the annual review of the LRMP required by the Liquidity Rule.
On December 4, 2019, the Trustees reviewed the Liquidity Committee’s initial written report (the “Report”) concerning the operation of the LRMP for the period from December 1, 2018 through November 22, 2019 (the “Reporting Period”). The Report addressed the operation, adequacy and effectiveness of the LRMP, the operation of a Fund’s highly liquid investment minimum, and any material changes to the LRMP during the Reporting Period. The Report provided an assessment of the various factors relevant to each Fund’s Liquidity Risk, an evaluation of data provided by a third-party liquidity assessment vendor and other relevant data, and reports on the Liquidity Committee’s consideration of intermediary firms with the largest beneficial ownership positions in each Fund, the likelihood that any of those firms may redeem their clients’ investments from the Funds without prior notice, and the effect that such redemptions could have on Fund liquidity. The Report concluded that the LRMP remains adequate and effective to address each Fund’s Liquidity Risk, that all of the Funds are able to meet redemption requests in current market conditions and in reasonably expected stressed conditions without significant dilution of remaining shareholders, that each Fund remains primarily highly liquid, and the third-party liquidity assessment vendor’s system continues to be a useful tool for assessing the Funds’ Liquidity Risk. The Report stated that there have been no instances since the LRMP’s adoption in which a Fund exceeded its limitation on illiquid investments, nor have there been any material changes to the LRMP since its adoption.

Trustees’ Statement to Shareholders (Unaudited)
Readopted September 17, 2019
The Trustees believe current and prospective shareholders should know how we discharge our responsibilities in supervising the Funds’ investment advisor and in reviewing the advisor’s contract for renewal. Since 2005, we have issued a statement which sets out clearly the three principal guidelines that we follow in supervising the Trust’s investment advisor on your behalf. In accordance with our customary practice, in September of this year we again reviewed our statement and concluded we should reissue this statement outlining the principal features of our supervision of the advisor’s performance of investment management services for the Funds.
We begin with the premise that each shareholder selected his or her Fund because its investments are managed by the investment advisor identified in the prospectus and in accordance with the objective and policies described in the prospectus. We realize, as each of you do, that if you believe that your Fund’s stated objective and policies no longer serve your personal investment goals, you can sell your shares and leave the Fund.
Therefore, we believe that our primary supervisory task—our principal obligation to you—is to assess the nature and quality of the advisor’s services, and to confirm that the advisor actively and competently pursues the Fund’s objective, in accordance with the policies set out in the prospectus. To do this, we meet regularly with management to review your Fund’s portfolio and to discuss the advisor’s specific actions and judgments in pursuing the Fund’s objective. We do not substitute our own judgment for the advisor’s decisions in selecting investments; the advisor is paid to exercise its informed judgment on investment decisions, and we seek to confirm, in reviewing the advisor’s performance, that the advisor is doing just that.
Second, we are conscious of costs and the effect that costs have on shareholders’ returns. We try to make sure that your Fund’s fees and costs are reasonable in relationship to the services rendered and that they are generally in line with those charged by other expert investment advisors, consistent with our belief that the Fund’s investors searched for and expect that expertise and attention and have decided to pay a reasonable price for it. We do not put the management contract “out to bid” as a matter of course, and we would not do so unless we had concluded that the advisor materially had failed to pursue the Fund’s objectives in accordance with its policies, or for other equally important reasons. We believe that any other approach would be inconsistent with your interests and contrary to your expectations when you bought shares of the Fund in the first place.
Finally, because we believe that most Thornburg Fund shareholders have invested with a long-term perspective, we try not to focus too much on the fashions of the moment and on short-term performance. The market will not favor any specific investment objective or set of policies at all times and under all economic circumstances. A fund will experience periods of both high and low returns relative to other funds and other investments. Even if one of our Funds is not favored by the market at a particular time, we believe that the advisor is nonetheless obliged to remain true to the Fund’s objective and policies, and we watch to see that it does so.

Letter to Shareholders
Thornburg Capital Management Fund | March 31, 2020 (Unaudited)
Dear Shareholder:
I hope this letter finds you safe and healthy. Amid the COVID-19 pandemic, we’re all adjusting to the challenges of working and living new ways while trying to see into a cloudy future. In these uncertain times, all of us at Thornburg Investment Management are squarely focused on providing you with the best investment outcomes that we can.
Many of our portfolios were well positioned for higher volatility. While we did not predict the cause of this downturn, it’s clear that high prices make for more vulnerable markets. Given our solid liquidity and preparation, we’ve been able to take advantage of price swings as many assets were on sale after the market’s decline. Longer term, it appears even the extraordinary fiscal and monetary support will merely cushion the blow. After all, the reason policy makers’ actions have been so extreme is in large part because they view them as necessary.
Looking forward, our nimble, collaborative investment team is well suited to deliver. The reason that we have a benchmark agnostic, flexible approach is so that we can go where we find value, within the mandate and objectives of the portfolio. While many investment firms have good products and processes, Thornburg is designed to see the world differently, and our perspective from Santa Fe, NM, is especially valuable in challenging times. While many other professionals are siloed into narrow areas of expertise, without the ability to evaluate the bigger picture, we work across sectors and asset classes to find
great investments and put them into balanced portfolios. The last few months have demonstrated the strength of our approach, given its adaptability and capacity to place new information in the context of broad portfolios quickly. Being nimble is part of Thornburg’s culture, and people across the organization are finding new ways to pitch in for the sake of our clients.
No one can predict with certainty what the market has in store for us, especially in the context of the current health crisis. What does seem certain, however, is that the events of the last few months are accelerating change that was already occurring, as well as underlining the vulnerability of many of the systems that many of us take for granted. That is true in our daily lives, as well as in financial markets. We believe our understanding of and participation in the interconnectedness of these markets is our core competency: We’re built for this.
Thank you so much for your time and your business.

Glossary
FTSE 1-Month Treasury Bill Index - Measures monthly return equivalents of yield averages that are not marked to market. The One-Month Treasury Bill Index consists of the last one-month Treasury bill issue.
The performance of any index is not indicative of the performance of any particular investment. Unless otherwise noted, index returns reflect the reinvestment of income dividends and capital gains, if any, but do not reflect fees, brokerage commissions or other expenses of investing. Investors may not make direct investments into any index.
Annualized Distribution Yield – The distribution yield reflects actual distributions made to shareholders. The annualized distribution yield is calculated by summing the last 30 days of income at a given month end and annualizing to a 360-day year. The result is divided by the ending maximum offering price or net asset value.
Short-Term Credit Ratings - A bond credit rating assesses the financial ability of a debt issuer to make timely payments of principal and interest. Short-term obligation ratings of A-1 (the highest), A-2 and A-3 are investment-grade quality. Ratings of B, C and D (the lowest) are considered below investment grade, speculative grade, or junk bonds.

Notes to Financial Statements
Thornburg Capital Management Fund | March 31, 2020 (Unaudited)
NOTE 1 – ORGANIZATION
Thornburg Capital Management Fund (the “Fund”) is a non-diversified series of Thornburg Investment Trust (the “Trust”). The Trust was organized as a Massachusetts business trust under a Declaration of Trust dated June 3, 1987 and is registered as a diversified, open-end management investment company under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the "1940 Act"). The Fund is currently one of twenty-two separate series of the Trust. Each series is considered to be a separate entity for financial reporting and tax purposes and bears expenses directly attributable to it. The Fund’s investment objective is to seek current income consistent with liquidity management and safety of capital. The Fund’s investments subject it to risks including, but not limited to, management risk, interest rate risk, prepayment and extension risk, credit risk, market and economic risk, foreign investment risk, liquidity risk and diversification risk. Please see the Fund’s prospectus for a discussion of the risks associated with an investment in the Fund.
The Fund currently offers one class of shares of beneficial interest: Institutional Class (“Class I”). This class of shares of the Fund represents all interest in the portfolio of investments. Class I shares are sold at net asset value without a sales charge at the time of purchase and may be subject to a service fee. All expenses are allocated to the class including administration fees, transfer agent fees, government registration fees, printing and postage costs, and legal expenses.
Shares of the Fund are issued solely in private placement transactions that do not involve any “public offering” within the meaning of Section (4)2 of the 1933 Act. Investments in the Fund may only be made by investment companies, or other persons that are “accredited investors” within the meaning of Regulation D under the 1933 Act. Thornburg Investment Management, Inc. (the "Advisor"), acting as the agent for the other series of the Trust, will affect all purchases and sells of shares of the Fund on behalf of any series of the Trust.
NOTE 2 – SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The following is a summary of significant accounting policies followed by the Fund in the preparation of its financial statements. The Fund prepares its financial statements in conformity with United States generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”), including investment company accounting and reporting guidance in the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the “FASB”) Accounting Standard Codification Topic 946.
Allocation of Expenses: Expenses common to all Funds are allocated among the Funds comprising the Trust based upon their relative net asset values or other appropriate allocation methods.
Dividends and Distributions to Shareholders: Dividends and distributions to shareholders, which are determined in accordance with federal income tax regulations and may differ from GAAP, are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Ordinary income dividends, if any, are declared daily and paid monthly. Capital gain distributions, if any, are declared and paid annually and more often if deemed necessary by the Advisor. Dividends and distributions are paid and are reinvested in additional shares of the Fund at net asset value per share at the close of business on the ex-dividend date, or at the shareholder’s option, paid in cash.
Guarantees and Indemnifications: Under the Trust’s organizational documents (and under separate agreements with the independent Trustees), its officers and Trustees are provided with an indemnification against certain liabilities arising out of the performance of their duties to the Fund. In the normal course of business the Trust may also enter into contracts with service providers that contain general indemnifications. The Trust’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown. However, based on experience, the Trust expects the risk of loss to be remote.
Investment Income: Interest income is accrued as earned. Premiums and discounts are amortized and accreted, respectively, to first call dates or maturity dates using the effective yield method of the respective investments. These amounts are included in Investment Income in the Statement of Operations.
Investment Transactions: Investment transactions are accounted for on a trade date basis. Realized gains and losses from the sale of investments are recorded on an identified cost basis.
Repurchase Agreements: The Fund may invest excess cash in repurchase agreements whereby the Fund purchases investments, which serve as collateral, with an agreement to resell such collateral to the seller at an agreed upon price at the maturity date of the repurchase agreement. Investments pledged as collateral for repurchase agreements are held in custody until maturity of the repurchase agreement. Provisions in the agreements require that the market value of the collateral is at least equal to the repurchase value in the event of default. In the event of default, the Fund has the right to liquidate the collateral and apply the proceeds in satisfaction of the obligation. Under certain circumstances, in the event of default or bankruptcy by the other party to the agreement, realization and/or retention of the collateral may be subject to legal proceedings.
Security Valuation: All investments in securities held by the Fund are valued as described in Note 3.
Notes to Financial Statements, Continued
Thornburg Capital Management Fund | March 31, 2020 (Unaudited)
Use of Estimates: The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of increases (decreases) in net assets from operations during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
When-Issued and Delayed Delivery Transactions: The Fund may engage in when-issued or delayed delivery transactions. To the extent the Fund engages in such transactions, it will do so for the purpose of acquiring portfolio investments consistent with the Fund’s investment objectives and not for the purpose of investment leverage or to speculate on interest rate or market changes. At the time the Fund makes a commitment to purchase an investment on a when-issued or delayed delivery basis, the Fund will record the transaction and reflect the value in determining its net asset value. When effecting such transactions, assets of an amount sufficient to make payment for the portfolio investments to be purchased will be segregated on the Fund’s records on the trade date. Investments purchased on a when-issued or delayed delivery basis do not earn interest until the settlement date. The values of these securities held at March 31, 2020 are detailed in the Schedule of Investments.
NOTE 3 – SECURITY VALUATION
Valuation of the Fund’s portfolio investment securities is performed in accordance with policies and procedures adopted by and under the oversight of the Trustees.
The Trustees of the Trust have appointed the Advisor to assist the Trustees with obtaining fair market values for portfolio investments, evaluating and monitoring professional pricing service providers appointed by the Trustees’ Audit Committee (the “Audit Committee”) to assist in determining fair values for portfolio investments, assisting in calculating fair values for portfolio investments in certain circumstances, and performing other functions in connection with the valuation of investments. The Advisor acts through its Valuation and Pricing Committee (the “Committee”) and other employees of the Advisor. The Committee regularly reviews its own valuation calculations, reviews the valuations, valuation techniques and services furnished by pricing service providers, considers circumstances which may require valuation calculations by the Committee, and reviews previous valuation calculations. The Committee reports to the Audit Committee on the Committee’s activities, the performance of pricing service providers, and other matters relating to valuation of portfolio investments.
In those instances when the Committee assists in calculating a fair value for a portfolio investment, the Committee seeks to determine the price that the Fund would reasonably expect to receive upon a sale of the investment in an orderly transaction between market participants on the valuation date. The Committee customarily utilizes quotations from securities broker dealers in calculating valuations, but also may utilize prices obtained from pricing service providers or other methods approved by the Audit Committee. Because fair values calculated by the Committee are estimates, the calculation of a value for an investment may differ from the price that would be realized by the Fund upon a sale of the investment, and the difference could be material to the Fund’s financial statements. The Committee’s calculation of a fair value for an investment may also differ from the prices obtained by other persons (including other mutual funds) for the investment.
Valuation of Securities: Securities held with a maturity of less than 60 days are valued using the amortized cost method. The amortized cost method of valuation involves valuing a security at its cost initially and thereafter assuming a constant amortization to maturity of any discount or premium, regardless of the impact of fluctuating interest rates on the market value of the security. This method may result in periods during which value, as determined by amortized cost, is higher or lower than the price each Fund would receive if it sold the security. The market value of securities in the Fund can be expected to vary inversely with changes in prevailing interest rates.
Debt obligations held by the Fund which are not listed or traded on exchanges or for which no reported market exists are ordinarily valued at the valuation obtained from a pricing service provider approved by the Audit Committee.
In any case when a pricing service provider fails to provide a valuation for a debt obligation held by the Fund, the Committee calculates a fair value for the obligation using alternative methods under procedures approved by the Audit Committee. Additionally, in cases when management believes that a valuation obtained from a pricing service provider is stale, does not reflect material factors affecting the valuation of the investment, is significantly different than the value the Fund is likely to obtain if it sought a bid for the investment, or is otherwise unreliable, the Committee calculates a fair value for the obligation using an alternative method approved by the Audit Committee.
Valuation Hierarchy: The Fund categorizes its investments based upon the inputs used in valuing those investments, according to a three-level hierarchy established in guidance from the FASB. Categorization of investments using this hierarchy is intended by the FASB to maximize the use of observable inputs in valuing investments and minimize the use of unobservable inputs by requiring that the most observable inputs be used when available. Observable inputs are those that market participants would use in valuing an investment based on available market information. Unobservable inputs are those that reflect assumptions about the information market participants would use in valuing an investment. An investment’s level within the hierarchy is based on the lowest level input that is deemed significant to the valuation. The methodologies and inputs used to value investments are not necessarily indications of the risk or liquidity associated with those investments.
Notes to Financial Statements, Continued
Thornburg Capital Management Fund | March 31, 2020 (Unaudited)
Various inputs are used in calculating valuations for the Fund’s investments. These inputs are generally summarized according to the three-level hierarchy below:
Level 1: Quoted prices in active markets for identical investments.
Level 2: Other direct or indirect significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar investments in active markets and other observable inputs, such as interest rates, prepayment rates, credit ratings, etc.).
Level 3: Significant unobservable inputs (including the Committee’s own assumptions in calculating the fair values of investments).
Valuations for debt obligations held by the Fund is typically calculated by pricing service providers approved by the Audit Committee and are generally characterized as Level 2 within the valuation hierarchy.
In a limited number of cases the Committee calculates a fair value for investments using broker quotations or other methods approved by the Audit Committee. When the Committee uses a single broker quotation to calculate a fair value for an investment without other significant observable inputs, or if a fair value is calculated using other significant inputs that are considered unobservable, the investment is characterized as Level 3 within the hierarchy. Other significant unobservable inputs used to calculate a fair value in these instances might include an income-based valuation approach which considers discounted anticipated future cash flows from the investment and application of discounts due to the nature or duration of any restrictions on the disposition of the investment.
Valuations based upon the use of inputs from Levels 1, 2 or 3 may not represent the actual price received upon the disposition of an investment, and a fund may receive a price that is lower than the valuation based upon these inputs when it sells the investment.
The following table displays a summary of the fair value hierarchy measurements of the Fund’s investments as of March 31, 2020:
| | TOTAL | LEVEL 1 | LEVEL 2 | LEVEL 3 |
| Assets | | | | |
| Investments in Securities | | | | |
| Short-Term Investments | $ 815,181,484 | $ 32,114,217 | $ 783,067,267 | $ — |
| Total Assets | $815,181,484 | $32,114,217 | $783,067,267 | $— |
NOTE 4 – INVESTMENT MANAGEMENT FEE AND OTHER TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES
Pursuant to an investment advisory agreement, the Advisor serves as the investment advisor and performs services for the Fund. The Fund does not pay an advisory fee to the Advisor under this agreement.
The Advisor provides certain administrative services to the Fund. No fees are charged for these services.
The Fund may purchase or sell securities from or to an affiliated fund, provided the affiliation is due solely to having a common investment advisor, common officers, or common trustees, and provided that all such transactions will comply with Rule 17a-7 under the 1940 Act. For the six months ended March 31, 2020, the Fund had no such transactions with affiliated funds.
NOTE 5 – TAXES
Federal Income Taxes: It is the policy of the Trust to comply with the provisions of the Internal Revenue Code applicable to regulated investment companies and to distribute to shareholders substantially all investment company taxable income including net realized gains on investments (if any), and tax exempt income of the Fund. Therefore, no provision for federal income or excise tax is required.
The Fund files income tax returns in United States federal and applicable state jurisdictions. The statute of limitations on the Fund’s tax return filings generally remains open for the three years following a return’s filing date. The Fund has analyzed each uncertain tax position believed to be material in the preparation of the Fund’s financial statements for the six month period ended March 31, 2020, including open tax years, to assess whether it is more likely than not that the position would be sustained upon examination, based on the technical merits of the position. The Fund has not identified any such position for which an asset or liability must be reflected in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities.

Expense Example
Thornburg Capital Management Fund | March 31, 2020 (Unaudited)
As a shareholder of the Fund, you incur ongoing costs of investing in the Fund. Because the Fund does not pay any management fee or distribution and/or service (12b-1) fee, the Fund’s ongoing costs are comprised of other Fund expenses. Shareholders of the Fund do not incur any transaction costs.
This example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds.
The example is based on a $1,000 investment beginning on October 1, 2019, and held until March 31, 2020.

| Hypothetical* | $1,000.00 | $1,024.95 | $0.05 |
| † | Expenses are equal to the annualized expense ratio for each class (I: 0.01%) multiplied by the average account value over the period, multiplied by 183/366 to reflect the one-half year period. |
| * | Hypothetical assumes a rate of return of 5% per year before expenses. |
ACTUAL EXPENSES
For each class of shares, the first line of the accompanying table provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this line, 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 for your class of shares under the heading entitled “Expenses Paid During Period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.
HYPOTHETICAL EXAMPLE FOR COMPARISON PURPOSES
For each class of shares, the second line of the accompanying table provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Fund’s actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Fund’s actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Fund and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds.
Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transactional costs, such as sales charges (loads), redemption fees, or exchange fees. Therefore, the second line of the table for each class of shares is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transactional costs were included, your costs would have been higher.

STATEMENT REGARDING LIQUIDITY RISK MANAGEMENT PROGRAM
The Trustees of the Trust have appointed the Advisor (“Program Administrator”) to administer the Trust’s liquidity risk management program (the “LRMP”) adopted for the Fund under rule 22e-4 under the 1940 Act (the “Liquidity Rule”). The LRMP is designed to reduce the risk that the Fund will be unable to meet its redemption obligations under the 1940 Act, and to mitigate the dilution of the interests of Fund shareholders occasioned by redemptions tendered by other shareholders (“Liquidity Risk”). Pursuant to the LRMP, the Program Administrator has delegated certain functions, including daily oversight and management of the Fund’s Liquidity Risk, to its Liquidity Risk Management Committee (the “Liquidity Committee”). Under the LRMP, the Liquidity Committee performs the annual review of the LRMP required by the Liquidity Rule.
On December 4, 2019, the Trustees reviewed the Liquidity Committee’s initial written report (the “Report”) concerning the operation of the LRMP for the period from December 1, 2018 through November 22, 2019 (the “Reporting Period”). The Report addressed the operation, adequacy and effectiveness of the LRMP, the operation of the Fund’s highly liquid investment minimum, and any material changes to the LRMP during the Reporting Period. The Report provided an assessment of the various factors relevant to the Fund’s Liquidity Risk, an evaluation of data provided by a third-party liquidity assessment vendor and other relevant data, and reports on the Liquidity Committee’s consideration of intermediary firms with the largest beneficial ownership positions in the Fund, the likelihood that any of those firms may redeem their clients’ investments from the Fund without prior notice, and the effect that such redemptions could have on Fund liquidity. The Report concluded that the LRMP remains adequate and effective to address the Fund’s Liquidity Risk, that the Fund is able to meet redemption requests in current market conditions and in reasonably expected stressed conditions without significant dilution of remaining shareholders, that the Fund remains primarily highly liquid, and the third-party liquidity assessment vendor’s system continues to be a useful tool for assessing the Fund’s Liquidity Risk. The Report stated that there have been no instances since the LRMP’s adoption in which the Fund exceeded its limitation on illiquid investments, nor have there been any material changes to the LRMP since its adoption.
Trustees’ Statement to Shareholders (Unaudited)
Readopted September 17, 2019
The Trustees believe current and prospective shareholders should know how we discharge our responsibilities in supervising the Funds’ investment advisor and in reviewing the advisor’s contract for renewal. Since 2005, we have issued a statement which sets out clearly the three principal guidelines that we follow in supervising the Trust’s investment advisor on your behalf. In accordance with our customary practice, in September of this year we again reviewed our statement and concluded we should reissue this statement outlining the principal features of our supervision of the advisor’s performance of investment management services for the Funds.
We begin with the premise that each shareholder selected his or her Fund because its investments are managed by the investment advisor identified in the prospectus and in accordance with the objective and policies described in the prospectus. We realize, as each of you do, that if you believe that your Fund’s stated objective and policies no longer serve your personal investment goals, you can sell your shares and leave the Fund.
Therefore, we believe that our primary supervisory task—our principal obligation to you—is to assess the nature and quality of the advisor’s services, and to confirm that the advisor actively and competently pursues the Fund’s objective, in accordance with the policies set out in the prospectus. To do this, we meet regularly with management to review your Fund’s portfolio and to discuss the advisor’s specific actions and judgments in pursuing the Fund’s objective. We do not substitute our own judgment for the advisor’s decisions in selecting investments; the advisor is paid to exercise its informed judgment on investment decisions, and we seek to confirm, in reviewing the advisor’s performance, that the advisor is doing just that.
Second, we are conscious of costs and the effect that costs have on shareholders’ returns. We try to make sure that your Fund’s fees and costs are reasonable in relationship to the services rendered and that they are generally in line with those charged by other expert investment advisors, consistent with our belief that the Fund’s investors searched for and expect that expertise and attention and have decided to pay a reasonable price for it. We do not put the management contract “out to bid” as a matter of course, and we would not do so unless we had concluded that the advisor materially had failed to pursue the Fund’s objectives in accordance with its policies, or for other equally important reasons. We believe that any other approach would be inconsistent with your interests and contrary to your expectations when you bought shares of the Fund in the first place.
Finally, because we believe that most Thornburg Fund shareholders have invested with a long-term perspective, we try not to focus too much on the fashions of the moment and on short-term performance. The market will not favor any specific investment objective or set of policies at all times and under all economic circumstances. A fund will experience periods of both high and low returns relative to other funds and other investments. Even if one of our Funds is not favored by the market at a particular time, we believe that the advisor is nonetheless obliged to remain true to the Fund’s objective and policies, and we watch to see that it does so.
