Table of Contents
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. 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. 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 deposits of or guaranteed by a bank or any other entity.

Thornburg Global Opportunities Fund |
September 30, 2023 (Unaudited)
This letter highlights the results of the Thornburg Global Opportunities Fund (the “Fund”) for the 12-month period ended September 30, 2023. Your Fund’s fiscal year ended on September 30th. It is published amidst the ongoing developments associated with the Russian invasion of Ukraine, moderating inflation figures in the U.S. that remain above Federal Reserve targets, concerns that some U.S. banks and other borrowers may be poorly positioned for rising interest rates, and tragic conflict in the Middle East. The S&P 500 Total Return Index, the Bloomberg U.S. Aggregate Bond Total Return Index Value USD, and the MSCI All World Net Total Return USD Index reported varying positive returns for the 12-month period, 21.6%, 2.2%, and 10.1%, respectively.  In brief, most equities generally repriced higher during the 12-month period due to, in our view, a surprising level of economic strength and resilient corporate profits in the face of rising interest rates.
The net asset value of the Fund’s Class I shares increased by $4.91 per share ($27.91 to $32.82) over the 12- month period, including the reduction in net asset value per share due to the $1.23 per share capital gains dividend paid by the Fund in the 4th quarter of 2022. For the fiscal year ended September 30, 2023, the Fund’s Class I share return of 22.32% exceeded the 20.80% return of the MSCI All Country World Net Total Return USD Index (the “Index”). Performance comparisons of the Fund to the Index over various periods are shown elsewhere in this shareholder report.
We are now in the 17th year of managing Thornburg Global Opportunities Fund. From its inception on July 28, 2006 through September 30, 2023, the Fund has outpaced the Index by an average margin of more than 2.9% per year, resulting in a total cumulative return since inception of 355% (Class I shares) versus 183% for the Index.
Listed below in descending order are the 25 largest equity holdings of companies in the fund as of September 30, 2023, along with their year-to-date returns through September 30, 2023 and calendar 2022 returns, the latter in parentheses. Returns are shown in U.S. dollars, assuming reinvestment of dividends in shares of each company.  We also show the trailing 5-year average annual revenue growth rates for these businesses through their 2022 fiscal year along with each company’s latest reported trailing 12-month revenue per share growth. For a rough comparison:
The trailing 5-year weighted average revenue growth rate of businesses included in the Index was +3.1%/year through December 31, 2022. The annualized average revenue growth rate was +6.8% through the fiscal year which ended December 31, 2022 for most of these business.
The trailing 5-year weighted average revenue growth rate of the equity holdings in the Fund’s portfolio was +10.5%/year through December 31, 2022. The weighted average revenue growth rate of these companies was +17.1% through the most recently reported fiscal year, which ended December 31, 2022 for most of these companies.

September 30, 2023 (Unaudited)
Together, these 25 companies comprised approximately 80% of the Fund’s total assets as of September 30, 2023. Cash and cash equivalents comprised 3% of Fund assets, and 12 other equities comprised approximately 17% of Fund assets. Individual position sizes of the Fund’s top 25 positions range from approximately 6% (Meta Platforms) to 2% for those shown near the bottom of this list (Techtronic).
The U.S. dollar appreciation averaging approximately 8% over the year-long period vis-à-vis foreign currencies is responsible for some of the dollar-based share price declines of the Fund’s foreign currency-denominated holdings seen in 2022. The first 9 months of 2023 have seen more modest U.S. dollar appreciation. During that period, we hedged a significant portion of the foreign currency exposure with respect to these holdings.
These are not trivial businesses. Weighted average revenue growth for the Fund exceeded global gross domestic product (GDP) growth in calendar year 2022 and for the trailing 5-year period. Importantly, these businesses’ average
revenue growth rates compare favorably to the revenue growth of the Index, both in the 2022 fiscal year and over the trailing 5-year period. Most of these emerged from the economic valley of the COVID-19 period with their competitive positions intact or improved and ready to address the challenges and opportunities that lie ahead. As of the date of this note, companies have not yet reported fiscal 2023 revenue and earnings, therefore, we use the 2022 fiscal year as the latest reported results for the multi-year revenue comparisons.
The reader will also notice a high incidence of Fund investments  during the 2023 fiscal year in firms tied to the digital economy, producers of critical resources, and financial intermediaries that we believe should benefit from higher interest rates. For now, there appears to be a lack of investor confidence in the outlook for financial and commodity sector businesses. This is evidenced by the lackluster relative or even negative share price performances of some investments from these sectors in the Fund’s portfolio during 2023.
As of September 30, 2023, the weighted average price-to-earnings ratio for the equity investments of the Fund was 14x. This compares to a weighted average multiple of 15.7x for the Index on the same date. We believe that our strategy of owning a focused Fund portfolio of firms with above-average revenue growth that are value priced with respect to revenue/earnings/cash flow vis-à-vis the overall market has been a key ingredient to long-term outperformance by the Fund versus the Index.
Twenty-two equities made positive contributions to Fund performance of at least 0.25% during the 2023 fiscal year period. Leading contributors to the Fund’s portfolio performance for the period included U.S. technology giants Meta Platforms and Alphabet; energy producers TotalEnergies and Shell; banks BNP Paribas and Bank of Ireland; online travel agency Booking Holdings; retailer TJX Companies (TJ Maxx); Samsung Electronics; business software developer SAP; and Mercedes Benz Group.
Four equities subtracted more than -0.25% from Fund performance during the 2023 fiscal year period. The most significant detractors were pharmaceutical firms Pfizer and Roche Holding; power tool producer Techtronic Industries; and Charles Schwab. We made various position size adjustments to the Fund’s holdings over the course of this period for portfolio diversification purposes, tax management, and to better balance the downside risk versus upside capital appreciation potential of individual positions.
The following table summarizes major sector weightings within the Fund’s equity portfolio as of September 30, 2023 and one year earlier. The reduction in the Fund’s holdings of materials sector investments was primarily due to the sale of shares of CF Industries, which achieved our price target, and lackluster relative performance from our investments in OCI and Mineral Resources. The increase in Fund holdings of consumer discretionary businesses reflects the

addition of Mercedes Benz Group, an increase in our investment in Galaxy Entertainment, and the relatively strong performance of TJX Companies and Booking Holdings. The increase in Fund holdings in the communications services sector mostly reflects Meta Platforms and Alphabet’s strong share price increases. 
As of the date of this letter, incoming economic data from around the world indicate a slowing global economy that, in our view, will possibly lead to recessions in some countries. Inflation above prior decade levels in most developed countries may impede unit demand growth. Labor market conditions remain relatively tight, contributing to ongoing inflation in services. That noted, inflation shows clear signs of having already peaked in many economies, including the U.S. We are paying attention to the abilities of companies the Fund owns to manage cost inflation and maintain profit margins consistent with our expectations.
Our Investment Framework
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 see a clear example of the need to keep a longer-term investment perspective illustrated by comparing the trailing 54-month return of the Fund as of September 30, 2023 (+74.7%) with the return from the single COVID-19 onset quarter ending March 31, 2020 (-24.8%) that preceded these 54 months. In general, the businesses in the Fund’s portfolio have managed well through varying economic environments across business cycles and a few have the potential to be much better businesses after being “fixed up.” We continue to follow our core investment principles of seeking flexibility, focus, and value, as we have since the Fund’s inception back in 2006.
Thank you for being a shareholder of Thornburg Global Opportunities Fund. Remember that you can monitor the
holdings of the Fund and other information respecting on our website at www.thornburg.com.

Thornburg Investment Income Builder Fund |
September 30, 2023 (Unaudited)
Dear Fellow Shareholder:
This letter highlights the results of the Thornburg Investment Income Builder Fund (the “Fund”) for the 12-month period ended September 30, 2023. Your Fund’s fiscal year ended on September 30th. It is published amidst the ongoing developments associated with the Russian invasion of Ukraine, moderating inflation figures in the U.S. that remain above Federal Reserve targets, concerns that some U.S. banks and other borrowers may be poorly positioned for rising interest rates, and tragic conflict in the Middle East. Reflecting the general strength overall of recent markets, the S&P 500 Total Return Index, the Bloomberg U.S. Aggregate Bond Total Return Index Value USD, and the MSCI All World Net Total Return USD Index reported varying positive returns for the 12-month period, 21.6%, 2.2%, and 10.1%, respectively.  In brief, most equities generally repriced higher during the 12-month period due to, in our view, a surprising level of economic strength and resilient corporate profits in the face of rising interest rates.
The Fund paid ordinary dividends of $1.20 per Class I share during the fiscal year ended September 30, 2023, slightly lower versus $1.24 per Class I share paid during the prior year’s comparable period. The dividends per share were lower for Class A and Class C shares during the 2023 fiscal year, on account of varying class-specific expenses. More than 65% of the Fund’s equity holdings increased dividends in local currencies in 2023, a slightly smaller percentage compared to the prior year. The Fund received fewer special dividends in the first 9 months of 2023 compared to the prior year. We are still petitioning to get refunds from certain European governments for withholding taxes on dividends received by the Fund in the prior decade. The Fund’s European tax refund receipts were lower this year compared to 2021 and 2022.  
The net asset value of the Fund’s Class I shares increased by $3.14 per share ($19.36 to $22.50) over the period. $2.97 of the net asset value per share increase occurred in the first 6 months of the fiscal year, leaving $0.17 for the last 6 months. The Fund’s Class I share return of 22.61% for the fiscal year exceeded the Blended Benchmark return of 16.42% by 6.19% (the Blended Benchmark is comprised of 75% MSCI World Net Total Return USD Index and 25% Bloomberg U.S. Aggregate Bond Total Return Index Value USD (the “Blended Benchmark”)). Performance comparisons of the Fund to the Blended Benchmark over various periods are shown elsewhere in this report.
The quarter ended September 30, 2023, was the 83rd full calendar quarter since the Fund’s inception in December 2002. In 60 of these quarters, the Fund delivered a positive total return. The Fund has also delivered positive returns in 15 of its 20 calendar years. Importantly, Thornburg Investment Income Builder Fund has delivered an average annualized total return of more than 8.4% since its inception over 20 years ago, split between quarterly income distributions and share price appreciation.
What are the Fund’s ingredients driving these returns? Listed below in descending order are the 25 largest equity holdings in the Fund as of September 30, 2023, along with their share price changes in U.S. dollars for year-to-date September 30, 2023, and the 2022 calendar year. Also noted are dividend yields stock price change and the trailing 5-year growth rate of each company’s dividend/share in local currency, all as of September 30, 2023. Together, these 25 companies comprised approximately 60% of the Fund’s total assets as of September 30, 2023. Cash and more than 250 interest-bearing debt and hybrid securities comprised around 20% of Fund assets, and 34 other common equities comprised a total of approximately 20% of Fund assets. Individual position sizes of the 25 equities listed range from 5.2% of Fund assets (Orange SA) to approximately 1.3% for those shown near the bottom of the list (Endesa SA).
Thornburg Investment Income Builder Fund – Top 25 Equity Holdings as of September 30, 2023.

Letter to Shareholders, Continued
September 30, 2023 (Unaudited)
These are not trivial businesses. These companies occupy important positions in their respective markets, and they tend to be well capitalized. Most have made reasonable progress in growing their bases of paying customers and distributable cash flows to support multi-year dividend growth. Among these top 25 holdings, only Vodafone (a special situation with various subsidiaries recently sold or put into joint ventures) paid a lower dividend in 2023 versus 2018. The reader will notice several telecommunications, financial, and healthcare businesses among these top 25 holdings, as well as other providers of various ingredients we consider important to modern life. Some of these top 25 fund holdings that had double-digit percentage price declines in 2022 have not fully regained their year-end 2021 share price levels. We believe that their attractive current
dividend yields and records of dividend growth indicate good value.
U.S. dollar appreciation averaging approximately 8% vis-à-vis foreign currencies was responsible for some of the dollar-based share price declines of the Fund’s foreign currency denominated holdings seen in 2022. Modest dollar appreciation against most currencies continued in from the start of 2023 through September 30. During the 12-month period, we hedged a significant percentage of the foreign currency exposure with respect to these holdings but could not hedge the headwind to dividend income paid in foreign currencies without having periodic fluctuations in the hedge values creating significant volatility for the Fund’s quarterly dividends.
We have maintained the Fund’s exposure to dividend-paying companies that we believe have resilient businesses with strong capital structures. The recent increase in the Fund’s energy sector investments was mostly due to the strong performance of its holdings in recent months and the addition of Canada’s TC Energy, a utility and pipeline operator, to the portfolio. Here is a sector allocation comparison of the equities in the Fund’s portfolio over the trailing year:
Comparatively, all eleven sectors of the MSCI World Net Total Return USD Index delivered positive returns in U.S. dollar terms for the 12-month period ended September 30, 2023, ranging from 40.7% for the information technology sector to 0.4% for the real estate sector. The MSCI World Net Total Return USD comprises 75%, and the entire equity portion, of the Fund’s Blended Benchmark.
In the Fund’s portfolio, 37 equity investments contributed positive returns of at least 0.25% to overall portfolio performance during the fiscal year ending September 30, 2023. The largest equity contributors to fiscal year performance included semiconductor producers Broadcom, Samsung Electronics, and Taiwan Semiconductor; energy producer Total Energies; diversified financials BNP Paribas and JPMorgan Chase; multinational telecommunications service providers Orange and Deutsche Telekom;

multinational utilities Enel SpA and Endesa; insurer Generali, UK grocer Tesco; and industrial conglomerate Siemens AG.
Four of the Fund’s equity investments made negative contributions to portfolio performance below -0.25% during fiscal year 2023. These detractors from Fund performance during the same period included pharmaceutical firms Pfizer and Roche Holding, Dutch insurer NN Group, and Vodafone Group.
The Fund’s bond holdings delivered positive returns during the fiscal year under review. The 10-year U.S. Treasury bond yields increased from 3.83% to 4.57% during the fiscal year, decreasing prices of these. Corporate and asset-backed bond prices were more resilient as spreads to U.S. Treasury bonds mostly narrowed. The yield on the Bloomberg U.S. Corporate High Yield Index declined from 9.68% to 8.88% during the fiscal year (yield to lower of call price or maturity). As of September 30, 2023, the $60 trillion Bloomberg Global Aggregate Bond Index showed an average maturity of 8.45 years and a yield of 4.22%, the latter +0.52% over the trailing year. As of September 30, 2023, developed world bond yields outside the U.S. lag domestic bond yields by a significant margin, a circumstance that has supported the U.S. dollar for much of the last 7 quarters.
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% on June 30, 2009.  We tend to allocate more portfolio assets to interest-bearing debt when debt yields are more attractive. 20% of the Fund’s portfolio assets were invested in interest-bearing debt and near cash assets on September 30, 2023.  As previously described, the remaining 80% of portfolio assets were invested in equities.
The outlook for financial asset returns in our view remains cloudy. The “real” yield on the 10-year U.S. Treasury note as of the 2023 fiscal year end (September 30, 2023 market yield on 10-year US Treasury Note of 4.57% minus the U.S. core consumer price index of 3.9%) was positive at 0.67%, using the August 2023 core consumer price index. While showing a significant recovery from the negative real yields of recent years, this positive real yield level still lags levels typically experienced over the investment lifetimes of the Fund. The average “real yield” on 10-year U.S. Treasury notes over the last 30 years was 1.90%. In recent quarters, bond yields increased in favor of saver investors at the expense of borrowers for the first time in many years. Inflation has headed lower through 2023, but the large supply of new government debt being issued plus ongoing
corporate borrowing have pressured yields higher in the second half of 2023.
In our view, incoming economic data from around the world indicate a resilient global economy that has resisted falling into a broadly predicted recession. Prices of traded financial assets will be volatile with day-to-day news changing perceptions of near-term economic performance. We are optimistic about the future return potential of Thornburg Investment Income Builder’s assets. Why?  Virtually all the businesses in the Fund’s portfolio currently retain their market positions providing what we see as important products and services that generate cash flows to pay attractive dividends. We believe they are valued very attractively in relation to their own histories and relative to other assets. 
The weighted average price/earnings ratio for Thornburg Investment Income Builder Fund’s equity portfolio tabulated using Bloomberg reported results was approximately 9.9x as of September 30, 2023, significantly below the 15.7x price/earnings ratio of the MSCI World Net Total Return USD Index. The Fund’s 5.0% weighted average equity portfolio dividend yield significantly exceeds the 2.2% dividend yield of the MSCI World Net Total Return USD Index. We believe the Fund’s portfolio incorporates significant intrinsic value. The bond portion of the Fund’s portfolio has a duration below 4 years and a yield to maturity/call of more than 8%.

Thornburg International Equity Fund

Investment Goal and
Fund Overview
The International Equity Fund seeks long-term capital appreciation by investing in equity and debt securities of all types. The secondary, nonfundamental goal of the Fund is to seek some current income. The Fund invests primarily in non-U.S. companies selected on a value basis using fundamental research. Under normal conditions, the Fund invests at least 80% of its assets in common stocks or depositary receipts. As described in more detail in the Fund Prospectus, the portfolio is diversified to include basic value stocks, but also includes stocks of companies with consistent earnings characteristics and those of emerging franchises, when these issues are value priced.
Performance drivers and detractors for the reporting period ended September 30, 2023
» For the 12-month period ended September 30, 2023, the Fund’s Class I shares returned 26.09%, exceeding the 20.39% return for the MSCI All Country World ex-USA Net Total Return USD Index (the "Index"), the Fund’s primary benchmark index, and the 25.65% return for the MSCI EAFE (Europe, Australasia, Far East) Net Total Return USD Index, the Fund’s secondary benchmark index.
»  Stock selection was the primary driver of the Fund’s outperformance relative to its benchmark indexes, consistent with the Fund’s bottom-up investment approach. Sector allocation had a negative impact while region/country allocation and currency effects were both positive contributors to Fund performance relative to the Index during the period.
» During the period, the Fund’s exposure to the utilities, materials, and information technology sectors were positive contributors, driven mostly by stock selection, while its exposure to the consumer discretionary and health care sectors were detractors to Fund performance. An allocation to cash in an up market also had a negative impact to Fund returns.
» The Fund’s overweight exposure to the Eurozone during the period, aided by strong stock selection in the region, and allocation to global companies domiciled in the U.S. were positive contributors to performance. The Fund’s allocation to China and Japan were both detractors, mostly due to stock selection. Currency effects on Fund returns were positive due mostly to the Fund’s exposure to the Eurozone and the impact of tactical currency hedging.
» The Fund’s allocation to companies in its Basic Value and Consistent Earners baskets had a positive impact during the period when value stocks outperformed growth stocks. The allocation to companies in its Emerging Franchise basket had a negative impact during the period when interest rates rose and growth companies came under pressure, although the Fund was underweight its normal allocation to those companies over the period.

Thornburg Better World International Fund

Investment Goal and
Fund Overview
The Better World International Fund seeks long-term capital appreciation. The Fund invests primarily in a broad range of foreign companies, based on fundamental research combined with analysis of those environmental, social and governance (ESG) characteristics that the investment manager identifies as significant. The Fund targets companies of any size or country of origin, and which are high-quality, attractively valued and, in our view, also demonstrate one or more significant positive ESG characteristics. The Fund portfolio is diversified to include basic value stocks, companies with consistent earnings, and emerging franchises as described in more detail in the Fund Prospectus.
Performance drivers and detractors for the reporting period ended September 30, 2023
» For the 12-month period ended September 30, 2023, the Fund’s Class I shares returned 20.49%, slightly outpacing the 20.39% return of the MSCI All Country World ex-USA Net Total Return USD Index (the “Index”).
» Stock selection contributed positively to Fund performance relative to the Index over the period, aligning with the Fund’s bottom-up approach. Detractors from Fund performance relative to the Index were sector and region/country allocations. Currency effects on the Fund’s performance were neutral during the period.
» During the period, the Fund’s exposure to the information technology, materials, and communication services sectors were a positive contributor to its performance, driven mostly by stock selection. Exposure to the consumer discretionary and health care sectors had negative impacts on Fund performance. An allocation to cash in an up market also hampered Fund returns.
» Underweight positioning in the Eurozone and overweight positioning in China were detractors to Fund performance during the fiscal year, although the positive impact of stock selection in the Eurozone more than offset the Fund’s underweight positioning. Stock selection in Japan and global companies domiciled in the U.S. also had a negative impact on Fund performance.
» During the period, the Fund’s underweight positioning to companies in its Basic Value basket versus its long-term average was a detractor during a period where value stocks outperformed growth stocks, but stock selection in its Consistent Earners and Emerging Franchise baskets companies was a positive contributor to performance.

Investment Goal and
Fund Overview
The International Growth Fund seeks long-term growth of capital by investing in equity securities from around the world selected for their growth potential based on management’s belief that the companies will have growing revenues and earnings. The Fund can invest in companies of any size, from large, well-established firms to small, emerging growth franchises. Management uses traditional fundamental research to evaluate securities and make buy/sell decisions.
Performance drivers and detractors for the reporting period ended September 30, 2023
» For the 12-month period ended September 30, 2023, the Fund’s Class I shares returned 19.23% versus a return of 15.84% for the MSCI All Country World ex USA Growth Net Total Return USD Index (the “Index”).
» The Fund’s outperformance relative to the Index for the period was primarily driven by stock selection, consistent with the Fund’s bottom-up investment process. Sector allocation was a modest detractor while country allocation and currency effects were also positive contributors to Fund performance relative to the Index.
» During the period, the Fund’s exposure to the communication services and materials sectors were positive contributors, driven mostly by stock selection, while its exposure to the industrials and communication services sectors was detractors to Fund performance. An allocation to cash in an up market also had a negative impact to Fund returns.
» Overweight positioning in the Eurozone and stock selection in global companies domiciled in the U.S. had a positive impact on Fund performance during the period while underweight positioning and stock selection in Japan had negative impacts on performance.
» The Fund’s allocation to companies in its Growth Industry Leaders basket contributed about 2/3 of the Fund’s returns during the period, while stock selection in its Consistent Growers and Emerging Growth baskets was negative for Fund performance relative to the Index.

Thornburg Developing World Fund

Investment Goal and
Fund Overview
The Developing World Fund’s primary investment goal is to seek long-term capital appreciation. The Fund invests at least 80% of its assets in equity securities of developing country issuers. A developing country issuer is a company or sovereign entity that is domiciled or otherwise tied economically to one or more developing countries. The Fund portfolio is diversified to include basic value stocks, companies with consistent earnings, and emerging franchises as described in more detail in the Fund Prospectus.
Performance drivers and detractors for the reporting period ended September 30, 2023
» For the 12-month period ended September 30, 2023, the Fund’s Class I shares returned 8.66% versus a return of 11.70% for the MSCI Emerging Markets Net Total Return USD Index (the “Index”).
» The Fund’s underperformance relative to the Index during the period was primarily driven by bottom-up stock selection, followed by sector and country allocation decisions. The currency effect on the Fund’s performance was positive.
» During the period, the Fund’s holdings within the consumer staples, industrials, consumer discretionary, utilities, and real estate sectors contributed positively to performance, while its holdings within the financials, information technology, communication services, and materials sectors negatively impacted performance.
» On a geographic basis, the Fund’s exposure to emerging companies in Europe, the Middle East, and Africa (EMEA) was a strong source of outperformance relative to the Index, as well as in India and Chile. Meanwhile, its stock selection within China and Brazil and an underweight positioning in Korea detracted from Fund performance relative to the Index during the period.
» Much of the Fund’s underperformance relative to the Index occurred in the second and third quarters of 2023 due to its exposure to China. The country’s earlier-than-expected ending of COVID restrictions and re-opening last year initially drove the Fund’s relative outperformance through the first quarter of 2023. However, China’s macroeconomic environment deteriorated between the second and third quarters of 2023, and those market conditions negatively impacted the Fund’s performance. Meanwhile, Latin America and the Middle East held steady throughout the fiscal year due to orthodox monetary policies and their recoveries in  consumer strength, which contributed positively to Fund performance.

Thornburg Small/Mid Cap Core Fund

Investment Goal and
Fund Overview
The Fund seeks long-term capital appreciation by investing in equity and debt securities of all types. The secondary, non-fundamental goal of the Fund is to seek some current income. Under normal conditions, the Fund invests at least 80% of its net assets in small- and mid-capitalization companies.
With its core approach to stock selection, the Fund seeks to invest in a broadly diversified portfolio of companies the Fund categorizes as basic values, consistent earners, and emerging franchises, as described in more detail in the Fund Prospectus. The relative proportions of securities invested in each of those categories will vary over time.
Performance drivers and detractors for the reporting period ended September 30, 2023
» The Fund underperformed its benchmark, the Russell 2500 Index – Total Return (the "Index") for the reporting period, primarily due to stock selection; however, its allocation towards slightly larger companies was beneficial to its performance relative to the Index as large-cap and mid-cap companies outperformed small-cap companies.
» The Fund’s stock selection in the health care and energy sectors had a positive impact on performance relative to the Index during the period, as did an overallocation to the outperforming industrials sector.
» The Fund’s stock selection in the information technology, consumer staples, and financials sectors negatively impacted its performance relative to the Index during the period.
» Returns of larger mid-cap stocks outpaced smaller-cap stocks within the Index during the period. Stock selection was a negative contributor to performance within the mid-cap (those ranging from approximately $2.5 - $12 billion market capitalization) and large-cap portions (those over approximately $12 billion market capitalization) of the Fund’s portfolio during the period. However, an overweighting in the Fund to larger stocks within the Index’s universe positively impacted the Fund’s performance relative to the Index for the fiscal year.

The Fund seeks to invest in a diversified portfolio of companies the Fund categorizes as consistent earners, disruptors, and emerging franchises, as described in more detail in the Fund Prospectus. The relative proportions of securities invested in each of those categories will vary over time.
Performance drivers and detractors for the reporting period ended September 30, 2023
» The Fund outperformed its benchmark, the Russell 2500 Growth Index - Total Return (the "Index") for the reporting period, primarily due to stock selection across sectors and market capitalization ranges. The Fund’s allocation towards slightly larger companies was beneficial to its performance relative to the Index as larger companies generally outperformed smaller companies within the Index’s small- and mid-cap growth universe.
» The Fund’s stock selection in the health care and consumer discretionary sectors had a positive impact on performance relative to the Index during the period, as did an overweighting to consumer staples, which was one of the top performing sectors within the Index.
» During the period, the Fund’s stock selection in the information technology and materials sectors had a negative impact on its performance relative to the Index.
» Returns of mid-cap stocks outpaced small-cap stock within the Index during the period. Stock selection was the primary detractor from performance within the mid-cap (those ranging from approximately $2.5 - $12 billion market capitalization) portion of the Fund’s portfolio. However, an underweighting in the Fund to smaller stocks (those under approximately $2.5 billion market capitalization) and an overweighting to larger stocks (those over approximately $12 billion market capitalization) within the Index’s universe had positive impacts on the Fund’s performance relative to the Index.

Thornburg Investment Income Builder Fund

Investment Goal and
Fund Overview
The Investment Income Builder Fund’s primary investment goal is to seek 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 goal is long-term capital appreciation.
The Fund pursues its investment goals by investing in a broad range of income producing securities, primarily stocks and bonds. Equity investments normally will be weighted in favor of companies which pay dividends. The Fund may invest in securities of issuers domiciled in or economically tied to countries outside the United States, including developing countries. Investment decisions are based on domestic and international economic developments, outlooks for securities markets, interest rates and inflation, the supply and demand for debt and equity securities, and analysis of specific issuers.

Thornburg Summit Fund

Investment Goal and
Fund Overview
The Summit 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. 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.
Performance drivers and detractors for the reporting period ended September 30, 2023
» For the 12-month period ended September 30, 2023, the Fund’s Class I shares returned 12.66% versus 13.18% for the Fund’s blended benchmark index of 60% MSCI All Country World Index and 40% Bloomberg Global Aggregate Bond Index (the "Blended Index"). 
»  Following a challenging 2022 for both stocks and bonds, equity markets rebounded strongly during the reporting period while fixed income market returns were generally flat. The Fund’s underweighting to equities during the period, which significantly outperformed bonds during the period, was a headwind to its performance relative to the Blended Index.
 »  Within the Fund’s equity holdings during the reporting period, selection effect from information technology and materials, as well as its underweight positioning within consumer staples and real estate contributed positively to performance relative to the Blended Index. Financials and industrials held by the Fund during the period detracted from results relative to the Blended Index.
»  Given the environment of global rising interest rates, the Fund’s shorter duration positioning during the reporting period was a primary driver of its outperformance relative to the Blended Index. Selection effect within corporate bonds was also a positive contributor to the Fund’s performance.

The Dividend Landscape
Thornburg Investment Income Builder Fund  |  September 30, 2023 (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, 56% of the top 100 dividend payers are in the financials and real estate sectors. In the (small cap) Russell 2000 Index, 66% of the top 100 dividend-yielding stocks are financials or real estate 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 seek to 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.

Certain Funds have invested in securities that are economically tied to Russia. Russia’s invasion of Ukraine in February 2022 resulted in market disruptions which have adversely affected, and which may continue to adversely affect, the value of those securities and certain other investments of the Funds. The ongoing conflict has also caused investments in Russia to be subject to increased levels of political, economic, legal, market and currency risks, as well as the risk that further economic sanctions may be imposed by the United States and other countries. Furthermore, transactions in certain Russian securities have been, or may in the future be, prohibited, and certain of the Funds’ existing investments have or may become illiquid.
During the year ended September 30, 2023 and subsequent to, certain Funds had exposure to the U.S. banking sector. Although governmental intervention resulted in additional protections for depositors in connection with the failures of Silicon Valley Bank, Signature Bank and First Republic Bank in 2023, concerns about the overall financial health and stability of the U.S. banking sector remains high, with many bank stocks trading at significantly lower prices than they did before the crisis began. Further governmental intervention may be required to stabilize the U.S. banking sector in the future if additional U.S. banks, particularly larger banks, appear to be at a risk of failure; however, there is no guarantee that there will be such governmental intervention in the future or that such governmental intervention will avoid the risk of loss of, or delays in accessing, uninsured amounts. It is also possible that further government intervention could result in other unforeseen adverse impacts on the economy over the short or long term. At this time, it is not clear if there will be additional bank failures. Additional investments may be subject to liquidity and solvency concerns directly or indirectly due to failures in the U.S. or foreign banking sectors and/or may be subject to actions by regulatory authorities.
As of September 30, 2023, the Funds each currently offer up to seven classes of shares of beneficial interest.
Each class of shares of the Funds represents an interest in the same portfolio of investments, except that (i) Class A shares are sold subject to a front-end sales charge collected at the time the shares are purchased and bear a service fee, (ii) Class C shares are sold at net asset value without a sales charge at the time of purchase, but are subject to a contingent deferred sales charge upon redemption within one year of purchase, and bear both a service fee and a distribution fee, (iii) Class I and Class R5 shares are sold at net asset value without a sales charge at the time of purchase and may be subject to a service fee, (iv) Class R3 shares are sold at net asset value without a sales charge, but bear both a service fee and a distribution fee, (v) Class R4 shares are sold at net asset value without a sales charge at the time of purchase but bear a service fee, (vi) Class R6 shares are sold at net asset value without a sales charge at the time of purchase, and (vii) the respective classes may have different reinvestment privileges and conversion rights. Additionally, each Fund may allocate among its classes certain expenses, to the extent allocable to specific classes, including administration fees, transfer agent fees, government registration fees, certain printing and postage costs and legal expenses. Currently, class specific expenses of the Funds are limited to distribution and service fees, transfer agent fees, and certain registration and filing fees.
At September 30, 2023, the following classes of shares are offered in each respective Fund:
  Class A Class C Class I Class R3 Class R4 Class R5 Class R6

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 daily 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. 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. During the fiscal year ended September 30, 2023, the Funds did not enter into repurchase agreements.
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. Pursuant to current U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) guidance, a transaction involving a when-issued security will not be deemed to involve a senior security as long as the Funds intend to settle the transaction physically and the transaction settles within 35 days. 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 September 30, 2023 are detailed in the Schedule of Investments.
NOTE 3 – SECURITY VALUATION
Valuation of the Funds’ portfolio investment securities is performed by the Advisor, which has been designated by the Trustees of the Trust (the "Trustees") as the Funds’ “valuation designee,” as that term is defined in rule 2a-5 under the 1940 Act. The Advisor performs this valuation function under the supervision of the Trustees and in accordance with policies and procedures that have been adopted by the Advisor and approved by the Trustees (the “Valuation Policy and Procedures”).
In its capacity as the Funds’ valuation designee, the Advisor makes good faith determinations of the fair value of portfolio securities for which market quotations are not readily available, and otherwise complies with and administers the Valuation Policy and Procedures. The Advisor performs those functions in significant measure through its Valuation and Pricing Committee (the “Committee”), though the Advisor may also obtain the assistance of others, including professional pricing service providers selected and approved by the Committee. In accordance with the Valuation Policy and Procedures, the Committee: assesses and manages the material risks associated with determining the fair value of those Fund investments for which market quotations are not readily available; selects and applies methodologies for determining and calculating such fair values; periodically reviews and tests the appropriateness and accuracy of those methodologies; monitors for circumstances that may necessitate the use of fair value; and approves, monitors, and evaluates pricing services engaged to provide evaluated prices for the Funds’ investments. The Committee provides reports on its activities to the Trustees’ Audit Committee, which is responsible for overseeing the Committee’s and the Advisor’s work in discharging the functions under the Valuation Policy and Procedures.
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 calculation valuations, but also may utilize prices obtained from pricing service providers or other methods selected by the Committee. Because fair values calculated by the Committee are estimates, the calculation of a fair 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 generally valued at the last reported sale price on the valuation date or, if there has been no sale of the investment on that date, at the mean between the last reported bid and asked prices for the investment on that 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. For securities and other portfolio investments which are primarily listed or traded on an exchange outside the United States, the time for determining the investment’s value in accordance with the first sentence of this paragraph will be the close of that investment’s primary exchange preceding the Fund’s valuation time.
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 methodologies selected and approved by the Committee as described in the Valuation Policy and Procedures, subject to changes or additions by the Committee. For this purpose, a market quotation is considered to be readily

available if it is a quoted price (unadjusted) in active markets for identical investments that the Funds can access at the measurement date. Pursuant to the Valuation Policy and Procedures, the Committee shall monitor for circumstances that may necessitate the use of fair valuation methodologies, including circumstances in which a market quotation for an investment is no longer reliable or is otherwise not readily available. For that purpose, a market quotation is not readily available when the primary market or exchange for the applicable investment is not open for the entire scheduled day of trading. A market quotation may also not be readily available if: (a) developments occurring after the most recent close of the applicable investment’s primary exchange, but prior to the close of business on any business day; or (b) an unusual event or significant period of time occurring since the availability of the market quotation, create a serious question concerning the reliability of that market quotation. Additionally, a market quotation will be considered unreliable if it would require adjustment under GAAP, or where GAAP would require consideration of additional inputs in determining the value of the investment. The Committee customarily obtains valuations in those instances from pricing service providers approved by the Committee. Such 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.
Investments in U.S. mutual funds are valued at net asset value (“NAV”) each business day.
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 Committee.
Over-the-counter options are valued by a third-party pricing service provider.
Forward currency contracts are valued by a third-party pricing service provider.
In any case when a pricing service provider fails to provide a valuation for a debt obligation held by the Funds, the Committee may calculate a fair value for the obligation using alternative methods selected and approved by the Committee. Additionally, in cases when the Committee 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 may calculate a fair value for the obligation using an alternative method selected and approved by the Committee.
If the market quotation for an investment is expressed in a foreign currency, that market quotation will be converted to U.S. dollars using a foreign exchange quotation from a third-party service 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 Committee and are generally characterized as Level 2 within the valuation hierarchy.
On days when market volatility thresholds established by the 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 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 Committee.
In a limited number of cases the Committee calculates a fair value for investments using broker quotations or other methods approved by the 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 September 30, 2023:

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 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 annum of the average daily net assets attributable to Class R3 shares. Total fees incurred by each class of shares of the Funds under their respective service and distribution plans for the year ended September 30, 2023 are set forth in the Statements of Operations.
The Advisor has contractually agreed to waive certain fees and reimburse certain expenses incurred by certain classes of the Funds. The agreement may be terminated by the Trust at any time, but may not be terminated by the Advisor before February 1, 2024 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 year ended September 30, 2023 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 Funds’ 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. Expense caps exclude taxes, interest expenses, acquired fund fees and expenses, brokerage commissions, borrowing costs, expenses relating to short sales, and unusual expenses such as contingency fees or litigation costs.
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:

NOTE 5 – TAXES
Federal Income Taxes: It is the policy of the Trust to comply with the provisions of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 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 fiscal year ended September 30, 2023, 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 Statements of Assets and Liabilities.

Temporary differences between book and tax basis appreciation (depreciation) on cost of investments is primarily attributed to tax deferral of losses on wash sales, premium amortization accruals, distributions from real estate investment trusts (“REITs”), distributions from non-REIT securities, partnership basis adjustments, tax treatment of corporate actions, and mark-to-market of forward currency contracts and passive foreign investment companies.
At September 30, 2023, the Funds had deferred tax basis late-year ordinary investment losses occurring subsequent to October 31, 2022 through September 30, 2023 per the following table. For tax purposes, such losses will be recognized in the year ending September 30, 2024.

Notes to Financial Statements, Continued
September 30, 2023
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 tax 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.
As a result of several court rulings in France and Sweden, the French and Swedish tax authorities recently paid several of the Funds’ tax reclaims for prior tax withholding.  These tax reclaim payments are reflected as “Foreign withholding tax claims” in the Statements of Operations and any related interest is included in “Interest Income”.  Reducing the “Foreign withholding tax claim” payments for the calculation of Net Investment Income/Loss in the Statement of Operations are fees paid by the Funds to a third-party service provider that assisted in the recovery of the tax reclaims by pursuing administrative and judicial proceedings on the Funds’ behalf. These third-party service provider fees are reflected in the Statement of Operations under “Tax Reclaim Collection Fees” and are excluded from the expense limitation agreement; therefore, certain net expenses are above the contractual limit.  For U.S. income tax purposes, tax reclaims paid by France and Sweden and received by the Funds will reduce the amount of foreign taxes paid in a fiscal year that Fund shareholders can use as tax credits in their individual income tax returns.
In the event that tax reclaims received by the Funds during the fiscal year ending September 30, 2023 exceed the foreign withholding taxes paid by the Funds for other foreign investments, and the Funds have previously passed foreign tax credits on to their shareholders, the Funds will have a U.S. tax liability. The Funds will enter into a closing agreement with the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) in order to pay the associated tax liability (fees) on behalf of the Funds’ shareholders.  These IRS fees are estimated through the year ended September 30, 2023 and are reflected as “IRS Compliance Fees” in the Statements of Operations.
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.
At September 30, 2023, the Funds had undistributed tax basis ordinary investment income and undistributed tax basis capital gains as follows:
  Undistributed Tax

NOTE 8 – DERIVATIVE FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
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 year ended September 30, 2023, certain Funds’ principal exposures to derivative financial instruments of the type addressed by ASC 815 were investments in forward currency contracts, except for Summit Fund, which also had exposure to options during the period.
Forward Currency Contracts:  During the year ended September 30, 2023, some of the Funds entered into forward currency contracts in the normal course of pursuing their investment objectives, 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. Each of the forward currency contracts entered into by the Funds is an agreement between two parties to exchange different currencies at a specified rate of exchange at an agreed upon future date. Forward 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 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 monthly average values of open forward currency sell contracts for the year ended September 30, 2023 for Global Opportunities Fund, International Equity Fund, and Income Builder Fund were $132,178,092, $99,038,788, and $2,139,595,837, respectively. The monthly average value of open forward currency purchase contracts for the year ended September 30, 2023 for Summit Fund was $3,368,038.
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
September 30, 2023
These 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”) and with Morgan Stanley & Co. Inc. ("MSC") were entered into pursuant to International Swaps and Derivatives Association (“ISDA”) Master Agreements. 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 MSC 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, the ISDA Master Agreement with MSC, and the agreement with BBH do not result in an offset of reported amounts of financial assets and liabilities in the Fund’s Statement of Assets and Liabilities unless there has been an event of default or termination event under such agreements, the Funds do not net their respective outstanding forward currency contracts for the purpose of disclosure in the Fund’s Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Instead the Funds recognize the unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on those forward currency contracts on a gross basis in the Fund’s Statement of Assets and Liabilities.
Option Contracts: Each Fund may engage in option transactions and in doing so achieves similar objectives to what it would achieve through the sale or purchase of individual securities. A call option, upon payment of a premium, gives the purchaser of the option the right to buy, and the seller of the option the obligation to sell, the underlying security, index or other instrument at the exercise price.
A put option gives the purchaser of the option, upon payment of a premium, the right to sell, and the seller the obligation to buy, the underlying security, index, or other instrument at the exercise price. To seek to offset some of the risk of a potential decline in value of certain long positions, each Fund may also purchase put options on individual securities, broad-based securities indexes or certain exchange-traded funds (“ETFs”). Each Fund may also seek to generate income from option premiums by writing (selling) options on a portion of the equity securities (including securities that are convertible into equity securities) in the Fund’s portfolio, on broad-based securities indexes, or certain ETFs.
When the Fund purchases an option, it pays a premium and an amount equal to that premium is recorded as an asset.  When the Fund writes an option, it receives a premium and an amount equal to that premium is recorded as a liability. The asset or liability is adjusted daily to reflect the current market value of the option. If an option expires unexercised, the Fund realizes a gain or loss to the extent of the premium received or paid. If an option is exercised, the premium received or paid is recorded as an adjustment to the proceeds from the sale or the cost basis of the purchase. The difference between the premium and the amount received or paid on a closing purchase or sale transaction is also treated as a realized gain or loss. The cost of securities acquired through the exercise of call options is increased by premiums paid. The proceeds from securities sold through the exercise of put options are decreased by the premiums paid. Gain or loss on written options and purchased options is presented separately on the Statements of Operations as net realized gain or loss on written options and net realized gain or loss on purchased options, respectively.
During the year ended September 30, 2023, Summit Fund engaged in over-the-counter ("OTC") option trades.
Options written by a Fund do not typically give rise to counterparty credit risk since options written obligate the Fund and not the counterparty to perform. Exchange-traded purchased options have minimal counterparty credit risk to a Fund since the exchange’s clearinghouse, as counterparty to such instruments, guarantees against a possible default.
The monthly average notional value of open options purchased for the year ended  September 30, 2023 for Summit Fund was $1,358,172. As of September 30, 2023 the Funds had no outstanding written options.

(a) Generally, the Statement of Assets and Liabilities location for forward currency contracts is Assets - Unrealized appreciation on forward currency contracts for asset derivatives and Liabilities - Unrealized depreciation on forward currency contracts for liabilities derivatives.
Because the Funds did not receive or post cash collateral in connection with their forward currency contracts during the period, the net amounts of each Fund’s assets and liabilities which are attributable to those contracts at September 30, 2023 can be determined by offsetting the dollar amounts shown in the asset and liability columns in the preceding table, the results of which are reflected in the "Net Amount" column. The Funds’ forward currency contracts and written options are valued each day, and the net amounts of each Fund’s assets and liabilities which are attributable to those contracts and options are expected to vary over time.
The net realized gain (loss) from forward currency contracts  and net change in unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on outstanding forward currency contracts recognized in each Fund’s Statement of Operations for the year ended September 30, 2023 are disclosed in the following table:

Opinions on the Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying statements of assets and liabilities, including the schedules of investments, of Thornburg Global Opportunities Fund, Thornburg International Equity Fund, Thornburg Better World International Fund, Thornburg International Growth Fund, Thornburg Developing World Fund, Thornburg Small/Mid Cap Core Fund, Thornburg Small/Mid Cap Growth Fund, Thornburg Investment Income Builder Fund, and Thornburg Summit Fund (nine of the funds constituting Thornburg Investment Trust, hereafter collectively referred to as the "Funds") as of September 30, 2023, the related statements of operations for the year ended September 30, 2023, the statements of changes in net assets for each of the two years in the period ended September 30, 2023, including the related notes, and the financial highlights for each of the periods indicated therein (collectively referred to as the “financial statements”). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of each of the Funds as of September 30, 2023, the results of each of their operations for the year then ended, the changes in each of their net assets for each of the two years in the period ended September 30, 2023 and each of the financial highlights for each of the periods indicated therein in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
 Basis for Opinions
These financial statements are the responsibility of the Funds’ management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Funds’ financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB) and are required to be independent with respect to the Funds in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our audits of these financial statements in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. 
Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of September 30, 2023 by correspondence with the custodian, transfer agent and brokers; when replies were not received from brokers, we performed other auditing procedures. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinions.

Expense Example
September 30, 2023 (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 April 1, 2023, and held until September 30, 2023.
ACTUAL EXPENSES
For each class of shares, the Actual section 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 Actual section 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 Hypothetical section 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 Hypothetical section 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 mutual funds. In addition, if these transactional costs were included, your costs would have been higher.
The actual and hypothetical examples shown assume a $1,000 investment at the beginning of the period, April 1, 2023 and held through September 30, 2023.

STATEMENT RESPECTING RENEWAL OF INVESTMENT ADVISORY AGREEMENT
The Advisor provides investment management services to each of the Funds pursuant to an investment advisory agreement (the “Agreement”). The Trustees consider the renewal of the Agreement annually, and most recently determined to renew the Agreement on September 19, 2023.
Planning for their recent consideration of the Agreement’s renewal, those Trustees who are not “interested persons” of the Trust, as defined in Section 2(a)(19) of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “independent Trustees”), met in March 2023 and May 2023 to consider aspects of their annual evaluation of the Advisor’s service to the Funds and to each other series of the Trust, to plan the annual evaluation of the Advisor’s performance, and to discuss preliminarily the information the Advisor would present to the Trustees for their review. The independent Trustees met in another independent session in July 2023 to further define certain portions of the information to be submitted by the Advisor. The independent Trustees met again in independent session in September 2023 to discuss various matters relating to the consideration of the Agreement’s renewal, including discussions with representatives of a mutual fund analyst firm engaged by the independent Trustees to provide explanations of comparative cost and expense information, comparative investment performance information, and other data obtained and analyzed by the analyst firm. In that session the independent Trustees discussed their evaluations of the Advisor’s services to the Funds and the Funds’ fee and expense levels, investment performance, and other information presented for the Funds, conferred independently with legal counsel respecting the factors typically considered in evaluating renewal of an advisory agreement, and conferred with representatives of the Advisor to receive explanations of certain aspects of the information they had requested. Representatives of the Advisor subsequently reviewed portions of the information with the Trustees and addressed questions from the Trustees at a full meeting session of the Trustees scheduled in September 2023 for that purpose, and the independent Trustees thereafter met again in independent session to consider the Advisor’s presentations and various specific issues respecting their consideration of the Agreement’s renewal. Following these sessions, the Trustees met to consider renewal of the Agreement, and the independent Trustees voted unanimously at that meeting to renew the Agreement for an additional term of one year.
The information below summarizes certain factors considered by the Trustees in connection with the determination to renew the Agreement. In determining to renew the Agreement, the Trustees considered a wide range of information and did not identify any single factor as controlling, and this summary does not describe all of the factors and other matters considered by the Trustees in making their determination.
Nature, Extent, and Quality of Services. The Trustees considered in their evaluation of the Agreement the written and oral reports provided to the Trustees and their standing committees throughout the year on a wide variety of topics by personnel from the Advisor’s portfolio management, fund administration, trading, operations, marketing, distribution, and compliance staffs. The Trustees also considered in this evaluation the presentations and explanations made by representatives of the Advisor in meeting sessions scheduled for consideration of the renewal of the Agreement. The Trustees further noted in their evaluation the consideration they had given to a number of topics in previous years, reports from their standing committees, and advice received from counsel.
Information noted by the Trustees as having been considered in relation to the nature, extent, and quality of services provided by the Advisor under the advisory agreement, as more fully reflected in the minutes and other records of their quarterly and committee meetings throughout the year and in previous years, and contributing to their conclusions respecting the nature, extent, and quality of the services rendered to each Fund by the Advisor included: (1) reports from portfolio managers throughout the year demonstrating that each Fund was managed in conformity with stated strategies and objectives, and conformed to investment restrictions and limitations; (2) reports demonstrating that management of each Fund remained faithful and competent, and demonstrating sufficient skill by portfolio managers in executing the Fund’s strategies in varying environments, managers’ cognizance of, and strategies to pursue, each Fund’s objectives and address pertinent market and economic trends and conditions, the evaluation and selection of individual investments, management to achieve tax efficiencies, and the structuring and composition of each Fund’s portfolio and management of Fund liquidity requirements; (3) each Fund’s achievement of its investment objectives over different periods of time; (4) presentations by, and interactions with, members of the Advisor’s fund administration, trading, operations, marketing, distribution, and compliance staffs; (5) reports from the Audit Committee and the Operations Risk Oversight Committee on their respective proceedings throughout the year, including particularly interactions with the Advisor’s personnel; (6) the sufficiency of the resources the Advisor devotes to the services it provides to each Fund, including the expertise of its personnel and staffing levels and its enhancements to the electronic systems it utilizes in providing these services, and the Advisor’s own financial management and sufficiency of its resources; (7) steps taken by the Advisor to improve its investment management

process, including the hiring of additional investment personnel to support the investment management function, plans to add other investment personnel in the future, efforts to increase the diversity of backgrounds and experiences among its investment personnel, and the increased integration of risk management procedures and consideration of environmental, social, and governance factors into the investment process; (8) the measures employed by the Advisor’s personnel to achieve efficient trade execution for each Fund, including the evaluation and selection of firms to execute transactions for each Fund; and (9) steps taken to facilitate continued collaboration among the Advisor’s personnel. As in past years, the Trustees noted their assessments of the Advisor’s personnel developed in formal and informal meetings throughout the year, measures to expand and improve the depth and expertise of the Advisor’s staff, and the Advisor’s collaborative approach to investment management, continued commitment to observance of compliance and regulatory requirements in managing investments by the Funds, responsiveness to the Trustees, and other factors and circumstances.
Based upon these and other considerations, the Trustees concluded that the Advisor’s management of the Funds’ investments continued to conform to the Funds’ stated objectives and policies, and that the nature, extent, and quality of the services provided to the Funds by the Advisor remained sufficient.
Investment Performance.  The Trustees noted in their evaluation of each Fund’s investment performance the written and oral reports and investment and market analyses they had received from the Advisor’s portfolio management personnel throughout the year. The Trustees also noted their consideration of information provided to them at their request in anticipation of their annual evaluation of the Advisor’s services, including the following items of information respecting the investment performance of each Fund: (1) the Fund’s absolute investment performance and achievement of stated objectives; (2) the Advisor’s explanations and written commentary on the Fund’s performance in the context of the Fund’s objectives and reasonable expectations, and business, market, and economic conditions; (3) performance data for the ten most recent calendar years (or lesser number of years for each Fund having fewer calendar years of operations), comparing the Fund’s investment performance to a category of funds selected by an independent mutual fund analyst firm, to one or more broad-based securities indices, and to the applicable Morningstar category of funds; (4) the Fund’s investment performance for the three-month, year-to-date, one-year, three-year, five-year, since inception and, if applicable, ten-year periods ending with the second quarter of the current year, comparing the Fund’s annualized returns to mutual fund categories selected by independent mutual fund analyst firms, to one or more broad-based securities indices, and to the applicable Morningstar category of funds, and assigning a percentage rank to the Fund’s performance for each period relative to each of the fund categories; (5) analyses of specified risk and performance metrics for the Fund relative to its benchmark and to a selected peer group of funds, prepared by an independent financial analyst firm engaged by the independent Trustees; (6) information respecting positive cash flows resulting from share purchases and investment appreciation or negative cash flows resulting from redemptions and investment depreciation; (7) the analysis and observations of an independent mutual fund analyst firm respecting the Fund’s investment performance relative to a category of funds selected by that firm; (8) comparison of the Fund’s annualized return to the Fund’s benchmark index or indices over various periods since the Fund’s inception; (9) various risk and return statistics; and (10) oral commentary from the Advisor. The Trustees noted their understanding that strategies pursued for a Fund may produce intermittent lower relative performance, that underperforming Funds have, generally in the past, returned to favor as conditions changed or the strategies of those Funds gained traction, and the Advisor has in general been successful over time in remediating lower relative performance of Funds in cases where execution of investment strategies had contributed to lower performance. In those instances where a Fund had exhibited lower relative performance in certain periods, the Trustees also considered the reports they received from the Advisor throughout the year, explanations of that underperformance by reference to the stated investment strategies of the Fund, the effects of market and economic conditions on the Fund during relevant periods, and the investment decisions by the Advisor in view of the Fund’s stated strategies. The Trustees also noted in their evaluations that to the extent pertinent they attach additional significance to the performance of each Fund from the perspective of longer-term shareholders.
Further detail considered by the Trustees with respect to the investment performance of each Fund is set forth below:
Thornburg Global Opportunities Fund – the Trustees considered that the Fund outperformed its Morningstar category for the three-, five-, and ten-year periods, that the Fund outperformed its benchmark index for the three- and ten-year periods, and that the Fund generated a significant positive return in the one-year period despite underperforming its Morningstar category and index in that period. The Trustees considered that the Fund’s performance ranked in the first decile of its Morningstar category for the three-year period, and that its performance ranked favorably to the performance of a selected peer group of funds over all periods during the last ten years. The Trustees also considered the contribution of the Advisor’s security selection and other factors to the Fund’s investment performance, and the Advisor’s success in achieving the Fund’s investment objective over time.
Thornburg International Equity Fund – the Trustees considered that the Fund outperformed its Morningstar category and its primary benchmark index for the year-to-date, one-, three-, five-, and ten-year periods and, in the case of the primary benchmark index, since the Fund’s inception. The Trustees noted that the Fund’s performance ranked in the first decile of its Morningstar category for the five-year period, and that its performance ranked favorably to the performance of a selected peer group of funds over all periods during the last ten years. The Trustees also considered the contribution of the Advisor’s security selection and other factors to the Fund’s investment performance, and the Advisor’s success in achieving the Fund’s investment objective over time.

Thornburg Better World International Fund – the Trustees considered that the Fund outperformed its benchmark index and its Morningstar category in all periods since the Fund’s inception, ranked in the top decile of its Morningstar category for the three-year period and in the top percentile of its Morningstar category for the five-year period, and has delivered positive total returns in five of the seven calendar years since its inception. The Trustees noted that the Fund’s performance ranked favorably to the performance of a selected peer group of funds over all periods since the Fund’s inception. The Trustees also considered the contribution of the Advisor’s security selection and other factors to the Fund’s investment performance, noted explanations from the Advisor about its process for evaluating environmental, social, and governance characteristics and the potential for those characteristics to contribute positively to an investment, and observed the Advisor’s success in achieving the Fund’s investment objective over time.
Thornburg International Growth Fund – The Trustees considered that the Fund outperformed its Morningstar category and benchmark index for the year-to-date and one-year periods, generated positive returns in longer periods, and that its underperformance in certain longer periods relative to its Morningstar category and benchmark index was not significant. The Trustees observed that steps the Advisor has taken in recent years with respect to the management of the Fund, including changes in the composition of the Fund’s investment team, appear to have had a positive effect on the Fund’s recent investment performance. The Trustees noted that the Fund’s performance ranked favorably to the performance of a selected peer group of funds over the last year, and the Trustees considered the contribution of the Advisor’s security selection and other factors to the Fund’s investment performance and the Advisor’s success in achieving the Fund’s investment objective over time.
Thornburg Developing World Fund – the Trustees considered that the Fund outperformed its Morningstar category and benchmark index for the five-year period, performed generally in line with its category and benchmark for the ten-year period, and outperformed the benchmark since the Fund’s inception. The Trustees considered explanations from the Advisor respecting the market and economic conditions that have contributed to the Fund’s underperformance compared to its Morningstar category and benchmark index in more recent periods and steps the Advisor is taking to remediate the Fund’s underperformance, and the Trustees noted improvements in the Fund’s performance for the year-to-date compared to other recent periods. The Trustees also considered the contribution of the Advisor’s security selection and other factors to the Fund’s investment performance, and the Advisor’s success in achieving the Fund’s investment objective over time.
Thornburg Small/Mid Cap Core Fund – the Trustees considered that, because of the changes to the Fund’s principal investment strategies which took effect in late 2020, performance for periods prior to that date was not representative of the Fund’s current investment strategies. The Trustees considered explanations from the Advisor respecting the market and economic conditions that have contributed to the Fund’s underperformance compared to its Morningstar category and benchmark index since the commencement of the Fund’s current investment strategies, and steps the Advisor is taking to remediate the Fund’s underperformance, including enhancements to the Fund’s investment team. The Trustees also considered explanations from the Advisor indicating that a significant portion of the Fund’s underperformance versus its current benchmark index was attributable to a small period of time in early 2021, and that since that time the Fund’s performance has been more competitive with its benchmark. The Trustees also noted that, notwithstanding recent underperformance, the Advisor has generally had success in achieving the Fund’s investment objectives over time.

The Trustees also noted that, notwithstanding recent underperformance, the Advisor has generally had success in achieving the Fund’s investment objectives over time.
Thornburg Investment Income Builder Fund – the Trustees considered that the Fund outperformed its Morningstar category over the year-to-date, one-, three-, five-, and ten-year periods and outperformed its benchmark index for the three-year period, and the Trustees noted that the Fund’s underperformance versus its benchmark in other periods was not significant. The Trustees observed that, over most periods in the last ten years, the Fund’s performance ranked favorably to the performance of a selected peer group of funds and that, consistent with its primary investment objective. The Trustees also considered the contribution of the Advisor’s security selection and other factors to the Fund’s investment performance, and the Advisor’s success in achieving the Fund’s investment objective over time, including particularly the Fund’s ability to continue to generate current income for its shareholders.
Thornburg Summit Fund – the Trustees considered that the Fund outperformed its Morningstar category for the year-to-date, one- and three-year periods, and the Fund outperformed its benchmark index for the one- and three-year periods and since the Fund’s inception. The Trustees noted that the Fund ranked in the fifth percentile of its Morningstar category for the three-year period and that its performance has ranked favorably to the performance of a selected peer group of funds over all periods since the Fund’s inception. The Trustees also

considered the contribution of the Advisor’s security selection and other factors to the Fund’s investment performance, and the Advisor’s success in achieving the Fund’s investment objective over time.
Based upon their consideration of this and other information, the Trustees concluded that the Funds’ absolute and relative investment performance over a range of pertinent holding periods was generally satisfactory in view of the Funds’ objectives and strategies, and that where there was underperformance in certain periods and for certain Funds, the Advisor has taken appropriate steps to seek to mitigate that underperformance.
 Comparisons of Fee and Expense Levels. Information noted by the Trustees as having been considered in this context included a variety of comparative data respecting the Funds’ fee and expense levels. This information included comparisons of each Fund’s advisory fee and overall Fund expenses to median and average fees and expenses charged to funds in the applicable Morningstar category, comparisons of the advisory fee and total expenses for a representative share class of each Fund to the fee levels and expenses of fund peer groups selected from the category by an independent mutual fund analyst firm engaged by the independent Trustees, the perspectives and advice from that mutual fund analyst firm respecting comparisons of fund fee levels and expenses to fund peer groups, and other information. In evaluating comparative fee and expense data, the Trustees considered whether the advisory fees charged to each Fund were at least generally comparable to the comparatives presented, and whether those advisory fees and overall Fund expense levels were within the range of figures established for the selected peer groups. The Trustees also considered the extent to which the Advisor had waived fees or reimbursed expenses for certain Funds and share classes thereof, and noted that information about the Funds’ current fee and expense levels is disclosed in the prospectuses for each Fund.
Further detail considered by the Trustees with respect to the comparison of the fee and expense levels of each Fund is set forth below:
Thornburg Global Opportunities Fund – Comparative fee and expense data considered by the Trustees showed that the level of total expense for one representative share class of the Fund was lower than the median and average levels charged to funds in the applicable Morningstar category, and that the level of total expense for a second representative share class of the Fund was higher than those median and average levels but within the range of total expenses for the Morningstar category. Peer group data showed that the Fund’s management fee and the total expense level for a representative share class of the Fund, while both higher than median levels for the peer group, were within the range of the management fees and total expenses for that peer group.
Thornburg International Equity Fund – Comparative fee and expense data considered by the Trustees showed that the level of total expense for one representative share class of the Fund was lower than the median and average levels charged to funds in the applicable Morningstar category, and that the level of total expense for a second representative share class of the Fund was higher than those median and average levels but within the range of total expenses for the Morningstar category. Peer group data showed that the Fund’s management fee and the total expense level for a representative share class of the Fund, while both higher than median levels for the peer group, were within the range of the management fees and total expenses for that peer group.
Thornburg Better World International Fund – Comparative fee and expense data considered by the Trustees showed that the level of total expense for one representative share class of the Fund was lower than the median and average levels charged to funds in the applicable Morningstar category, and that the level of total expense for a second representative share class of the Fund was higher than those median and average levels but within the range of total expenses for the Morningstar category. Peer group data showed that the Fund’s management fee and the total expense level for a representative share class of the Fund were both equal to the median levels for one peer group and were within the range of the management fees and the total expense levels for a second peer group.
Thornburg International Growth Fund – Comparative fee and expense data considered by the Trustees showed that the level of total expense for one representative share class of the Fund was lower than the median and average levels charged to funds in the applicable Morningstar category, and that the level of total expense for a second representative share class of the Fund was higher than those median and average levels but within the range of total expenses for the Morningstar category. Peer group data showed that the Fund’s management fee and the total expense level for a representative share class of the Fund, while both higher than median levels for the peer group, were within the range of the management fees and total expenses for that peer group.
Thornburg Developing World Fund – Comparative fee and expense data considered by the Trustees showed that the level of total expense for one representative share class of the Fund was lower than the median and average levels charged to funds in the applicable Morningstar category, and that the level of total expense for a second representative share class of the Fund was higher than those median and average levels but within the range of total expenses for the Morningstar category. Peer group data showed that the Fund’s management fee and the total expense level of a representative share class of the Fund were both lower than the median levels for the peer group.
Thornburg Small/Mid Cap Core Fund – Comparative fee and expense data considered by the Trustees showed that the level of total expense for one representative share class of the Fund was lower than the median and average levels charged to funds in the applicable Morningstar category, and that the level of total expense for a second representative share class of the Fund was higher than those median

and average levels but within the range of total expenses for the Morningstar category. Peer group data showed that the Fund’s management fee and the total expense level for a representative share class of the Fund were both lower than the median levels for the peer group.
Thornburg Small/Mid Cap Growth Fund – Comparative fee and expense data considered by the Trustees showed that the level of total expense for one representative share class of the Fund was lower than the median and average levels charged to funds in the applicable Morningstar category, and that the level of total expense for a second representative share class of the Fund was higher than those median and average levels but within the range of total expenses for the Morningstar category. Peer group data showed that the Fund’s management fee was lower than the median level for the peer group and that the total expense level of one representative share class of the Fund was equal to the median level for the peer group.
Thornburg Investment Income Builder Fund – Comparative fee and expense data considered by the Trustees showed that the level of total expense for one representative share class of the Fund was lower than the median and average levels charged to funds in the applicable Morningstar category, and that the level of total expense for a second representative share class of the Fund was higher than those median and average levels but within the range of total expenses for the Morningstar category. Peer group data showed that the Fund’s management fee was higher than the median level for the peer group but within the range of management fees paid by funds in the peer group. Peer group data also showed that the total expense level for a representative share class of the Fund was comparable to the total expense levels of other funds in the peer group.
Thornburg Summit Fund – Comparative fee and expense data considered by the Trustees showed that the level of total expense for two representative share classes of the Fund were lower than the median and average levels charged to funds in the applicable Morningstar category. Peer group data showed that the Fund’s management fee and the total expense level of a representative share class of the Fund were both lower than the median levels for the peer group.
The Trustees did not find any of the differences between the Funds’ fee and expense data and the comparable fee and expense data significant in view of their findings and conclusions respecting the other factors considered, including the quality of services provided by the Advisor to each Fund.
The Trustees also noted their consideration of information respecting the advisory fees charged by the Advisor to other investment management clients, including the Advisor’s sub-advised mutual funds and other institutional clients, together with information about fees charged by other advisors to different clients, analysis of the differences between the requirements of institutional clients and mutual funds, analysis of the differences between the requirements of a sub-advised mutual fund and a fund as to which the investment advisor is the primary advisor and sponsor, the differences between the mutual funds as to which the Advisor is a sub-advisor and the Funds, and the consequently different investment management services provided to the different categories of clients and the differing contexts in which these arrangements are entered into. The Trustees confirmed their previous observations that the differences between the fees charged by the Advisor to different types of clients did not appear exceptional, and that the fee rates charged by the Advisor or by other investment advisors to different types of clients had limited relevance to the evaluation of the fee rates charged by the Advisor to the Funds.
Costs and Profitability of Advisor.  In reviewing the profitability of the Advisor’s services to the Funds under the Agreement, the Trustees considered an analysis of the Advisor’s costs and the estimated profitability to the Advisor of its services, together with figures for the profitability of a selection of other, publicly listed investment management firms. The Trustees noted that the comparability of the Advisor’s estimated profitability to the publicly disclosed information about the profitability of other investment management firms is limited due to the nature of those firms and other factors. The Trustees considered information from the Advisor respecting investment of its profits to maintain staffing levels and noted that the Advisor’s profits are an important element in the compensation of employees who work for the benefit of the Funds and their shareholders. The Trustees considered information from the Advisor respecting the use of profits to enhance staff competencies through training and other measures, hire personnel to expand and develop the scope of senior management expertise, pay competitive levels of compensation, and add to the Advisor’s electronic and information technology systems to maintain or improve service levels. The Trustees also considered the contribution of the Advisor’s cost management to its profitability, and the relationship of the Advisor’s financial resources and profitability in previous years to its ability to attract necessary personnel, invest in systems and other assets required for its service to the Funds, and maintain or improve service levels for the Funds notwithstanding fluctuations in revenues and profitability. The information considered did not indicate to the Trustees that the Advisor’s profitability was excessive.
Potential Economies of Scale. In reviewing the extent to which economies of scale would be realized by each Fund as it grows and whether fee levels reflect potential economies of scale, the Trustees considered the breakpoint structure for advisory fees chargeable to each Fund, comparisons of the fee breakpoint structure for each Fund with breakpoint structures (or the absence of such structures) for other funds in one or more peer groups selected by an independent mutual fund analyst firm, the effects of the breakpoint structure and other expense factors realized by certain funds of the Trust as their asset levels had increased, the Advisor’s undertakings to waive or reimburse certain fees and expenses for certain Funds and share classes, and the Advisor’s expenditures from its own profits and resources to maintain staffing levels, pay competitive levels of compensation, and add to its electronic and information technology systems to maintain or improve service levels. The information provided demonstrated to the Trustees that the Funds’ advisory fee breakpoint

Other Information, Continued
September 30, 2023 (Unaudited)
structures are reasonable in relation to the structures observed in the other funds in their respective peer groups, and that shareholders may be expected to benefit from any economies of scale, due to the advisory agreement’s breakpoint fee structure for each Fund and other factors.
Potential Ancillary Benefits. In reviewing potential benefits to the Advisor because of its relationship to the Funds, the Trustees considered explanations from the Advisor respecting its receipt of certain research services from broker dealers, and the benefits to both the Funds and the Advisor of the Advisor’s expansion of its staffing, compliance, and systems capabilities and other resources to serve a broader variety of investment management clients. The Trustees also considered how the establishment of additional investment products by the Advisor may benefit the Funds. No unusual or unfair benefits to the Advisor from its relationship to the Funds were identified by the Trustees.
Summary of Conclusions. The Trustees concluded that the general nature, extent, and quality of the Advisor’s services performed under the Agreement remained sufficient, the Advisor continued to actively and competently pursue the Funds’ investment objectives and adhere to the Funds’ investment policies, and that the absolute and relative investment performance of the Funds over pertinent holding periods on the whole was satisfactory in the context of the Funds’ objectives and strategies. The Trustees further concluded that the level of the advisory fee charged to each Fund by the Advisor is fair and reasonable in relation to the services provided by the Advisor, in view of the nature, extent, and quality of those services, the investment performance of each such Fund after fees and expenses, the clear disclosure of fees and expenses in the Funds’ prospectuses, comparisons of fees and expenses charged to each Fund to fees and expenses charged to other mutual funds, and the other factors and relevant circumstances considered. The Trustees accordingly determined to renew the Agreement for an additional term of one year for each of the Funds.

Trustees’ Statement to Shareholders (Unaudited)
Readopted September 19, 2023
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.
(This statement is submitted for the general information of the shareholders of Thornburg Investment Trust. For prospective investors in any fund of Thornburg Investment Trust, this communication must be preceded or accompanied by a prospectus. You may obtain a current copy of the Funds’ prospectus, which describes the Funds’ management fees, expenses and risks, by calling 1-800-847-0200 or by visiting www.thornburg.com/download. Please read the prospectus carefully before investing.)

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.

Thornburg Limited Term U.S. Government Fund

Investment Goal and
Fund Overview
The primary goal of Limited Term U.S. Government Fund is to seek as high a level of current income as is consistent, in the view of the Fund’s investment advisor, with safety of capital. As a secondary goal, the Fund seeks to reduce changes in its share price compared to longer term portfolios.
The Fund is an actively managed portfolio of short/intermediate term debt obligations with a dollar-weighted average maturity or expected life of normally less than five years. The Fund generally invests at least 80% of its net assets in U.S. Government securities, including debt obligations issued or guaranteed by the U.S. Government, its agencies, instrumentalities, or sponsored entities.
Performance drivers and detractors for the reporting period ended September 30, 2023
»  The Fund’s Class I shares returned 0.96% for the 12-month period ended September 30, 2023, modestly underperforming the Bloomberg U.S. Government Intermediate Total Return Index Value Unhedged (the “Index”), which returned 1.33% over the period.
»  The Fund’s structural short duration position versus its Index proved to be a contributor to its relative performance in a rising rate environment. During the 12-month period, five- and ten-year U.S. Treasury yields rose by 52 and 74 basis points (bps), respectively.
» The Fund benefitted from positive relative performance due to higher interest rates, but the Fund’s agency collateralized mortgage obligations security selection was a detractor from the Fund’s performance relative to the Index.

Thornburg Limited Term Income Fund

Investment Goal and
Fund Overview
The primary goal of Limited Term Income Fund is to seek as high a level of current income as is consistent, in the view of the Fund’s investment advisor, with safety of capital. As a secondary goal, the Fund seeks to reduce changes in its share prices compared to longer term portfolios.
The Fund is an actively managed portfolio of short and intermediate term debt obligations with a dollar-weighted average maturity of normally less than five years. The Fund invests in investment grade debt obligations, investing at least 65% of its net assets in (i) obligations of the U.S. government, its agencies and instrumentalities, and (ii) debt obligations rated at the time of purchase in one of the three highest principal long term rating categories of S&P Global Ratings or Moody’s Investors Services, Inc., or the equivalent three highest short term ratings of those ratings agencies, or, if no credit rating is available, judged to be of comparable quality as determined by Thornburg.
Performance drivers and detractors for the reporting period ended September 30, 2023
» The Fund’s Class I shares returned 3.36% for the 12-month period ended September 30, 2023, outperforming the Bloomberg Intermediate U.S. Government/Credit Total Return Index Value Unhedged (the “Index”), which returned 2.20% over the period.
» The Fund’s structural short duration position versus its Index proved to be a contributor to its relative performance in a rising rate environment. During the 12-month period, five- and ten-year U.S. Treasury yields rose by 52 and 74 basis points (bps), respectively.
»  Security selection within asset-backed securities (ABS) and corporate bonds was a positive contributor to the Fund’s performance relative to the Index during the 12-month period, while the Fund’s allocation to collateralized mortgage obligations detracted modestly from the Fund’s performance relative to the Index.

Fund Overview

The Fund is an actively managed portfolio of debt obligations, and under normal conditions at least 80% of the Fund’s net assets are invested in (i) debt obligations of the U.S. government, its agencies and instrumentalities, and (ii) debt obligations rated at the time of purchase in one of the four highest ratings of S&P Global Ratings (AAA, AA, A, or BBB) or Moody’s Investors Services, Inc. (Aaa, Aa, A, or Baa) or, if no credit rating is available, judged to be of comparable quality by Thornburg. The Fund seeks to reduce changes in its share value compared to longer duration fixed income portfolios by maintaining a portfolio of investments with a dollar-weighted average duration of normally no more than one half (0.5) of a year.

Performance drivers and detractors for the reporting period ended September 30, 2023
» The Fund’s Class I shares returned 4.98% for the 12-month period ended September 30, 2023, outperforming the ICE BofA U.S. Treasury Bill Index (the “Index”), which returned 4.52% over the period.

The Bloomberg Intermediate U.S. Government/Credit Total Return Index Value Unhedged is an unmanaged, market-weighted index generally representative of intermediate government and investment-grade corporate debt securities having maturities from one up to ten years.
The Bloomberg U.S. Government Intermediate Total Return Index Value Unhedged is an unmanaged, market-weighted index generally representative of all public obligations of the U.S. Government, its agencies and instrumentalities having maturities from one up to ten years.
The Bloomberg U.S. Aggregate Bond Total Return Index Value USD is composed of approximately 8,000 publicly traded bonds including U.S. government, mortgage-backed, corporate and Yankee bonds. The index is weighted by the market value of the bonds included in the index.
The Bloomberg U.S. Universal Total Return Index Value Unhedged represents the union of the U.S. Aggregate Index, U.S. Corporate High-Yield, investment Grade 144A Index, Eurodollar Index, U.S. Emerging Markets Index, and the non-ERISA eligible portion of the CMBS Index. The index covers USD denominated, taxable bonds that are rated either investment-grade or below investment-grade.
The ICE BofA U.S. Treasury Bill Index is an unmanaged index that measures returns of U.S. Treasury Bills.

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.
Asset Backed Security (ABS) – A security whose value and income payments are derived from and collateralized (or “backed”) by a specified pool of underlying assets. The pool of assets is typically a group of small and illiquid assets that are unable to be sold individually. Pooling the assets into financial instruments allows them to be sold to general investors, a process called securitization, and allows the risk of investing in the underlying assets to be diversified because each security will represent a fraction of the total value of the diverse pool of underlying assets.
Credit Spread/Quality Spread – The difference between the yields of securities with different credit qualities.
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.
High yield bonds may offer higher yields in return for risk exposure.
U.S. Treasury securities, such as bills, notes and bonds, are negotiable debt obligations of the U.S. government. These debt obligations are backed by the “full faith and credit” of the government and issued at various schedules and maturities. Income from Treasury securities is exempt from state and local, but not federal, taxes.
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. Investments in mortgage-backed securities (MBS) may bear additional risk.

Ratings of BB, B, CCC, CC, C and D (the lowest) are considered below investment grade, speculative grade, or junk bonds.
For purposes of presenting the credit quality information in the above graph, we have used ratings from Moody’s Investors Service. Where Moody’s ratings are not available, we have used Standard & Poor’s ratings. Where neither rating is available, we have used ratings from other nationally recognized statistical rating organizations (NRSROs). Unrated bonds are included in the not rated (NR) category.

NOTE 1 – ORGANIZATION
Thornburg Limited Term U.S. Government Fund (the “Limited Term U.S. Government Fund”), Thornburg Limited Term Income Fund (the “Limited Term Income Fund”), Thornburg Ultra Short Income Fund (the “Ultra Short Income Fund”) and Thornburg Strategic Income Fund (the “Strategic Income Fund”), collectively the “Funds”, are diversified series of Thornburg Investment Trust (the “Trust”). The Trust is 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"). As of September 30, 2023, the Funds are currently four 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.
Limited Term U.S. Government Fund: The Fund’s primary investment goal is to provide a high level of current income as is consistent, in the view of the Trust’s investment advisor, Thornburg Investment Management, Inc. (the “Advisor”), with safety of capital. As a secondary goal, the Fund seeks to reduce changes in its share price compared to longer term portfolios. The Fund’s investments subject it to certain risks. As of the date of this report, the principal risks of investing in the Fund include credit risk, cybersecurity and operational risk, interest rate risk, liquidity risk, management risk, market and economic risk, prepayment and extension risk, redemption risk, and structured products risk. Please see the Fund’s prospectus for a discussion of those principal risks and other risks associated with an investment in the Fund.
Limited Term Income Fund: The Fund’s primary investment goal is to provide a high level of current income as is consistent, in the view of the Advisor, with safety of capital. As a secondary goal, the Fund seeks to reduce changes in its share prices compared to longer term portfolios. The Fund’s investments subject it to certain risks. As of the date of this report, the principal risks of investing in the Fund include credit risk, cybersecurity and operational risk, foreign investment risk, interest rate risk, liquidity risk, management risk, market and economic risk, prepayment and extension risk, redemption risk, risks affecting specific issuers, and structured products risk. Please see the Fund’s prospectus for a discussion of those principal risks and other risks associated with an investment in the Fund.
Ultra Short Income Fund: The Fund’s investment goal is to seek current income, consistent with preservation of capital. The Fund’s investments subject it to certain risks. As of the date of this report, the principal risks of investing in the Fund include credit risk, cybersecurity and operational risk, derivatives risk, foreign investment risk, high yield risk, interest rate risk, liquidity risk, management risk, market and economic risk, prepayment and extension risk, redemption risk, risks affecting specific issuers, and structured products risk. Please see the Fund’s prospectus for a discussion of those principal risks and other risks associated with an investment in the Fund.
Strategic Income Fund: The Fund’s primary investment goal is to seek a high level of current income. As a secondary investment goal, the Fund seeks some long-term capital appreciation. The Fund’s investments subject it to certain risks. As of the date of this report, the principal risks of investing in the Fund include credit risk, cybersecurity and operational risk, developing country risk, foreign currency risk, foreign investment risk, high yield risk, interest rate risk, liquidity risk, management risk, market and economic risk, prepayment and extension risk, redemption risk, risks affecting specific issuers, small and mid-cap company risk, and structured products risk. Please see the Fund’s prospectus for a discussion of those principal risks and other risks associated with an investment in the Fund.
Certain Funds have invested in securities that are economically tied to Russia. Russia’s invasion of Ukraine in February 2022 resulted in market disruptions which have adversely affected, and which may continue to adversely affect, the value of those securities and certain other investments of the Funds. The ongoing conflict has also caused investments in Russia to be subject to increased levels of political, economic, legal, market and currency risks, as well as the risk that further economic sanctions may be imposed by the United States and other countries. Furthermore, transactions in certain Russian securities have been, or may in the future be, prohibited, and certain of the Funds’ existing investments have or may become illiquid.
As of September 30, 2023, the Funds each currently offer up to eight classes of shares of beneficial interest.
Each class of shares of the Funds represents an interest in the same portfolio of investments, except that (i) Class A shares are sold subject to a front-end sales charge collected at the time the shares are purchased and bear a service fee, (ii) Class C shares are sold at net asset value without a sales charge at the time of purchase, but are subject to a contingent deferred sales charge upon redemption within one year of purchase, and bear both a service fee and a distribution fee, (iii) Class C2 shares are sold at net asset value without a sales charge at the time of purchase, but are subject to a contingent deferred sales charge upon redemption within one year of purchase, and bear both a service fee and a distribution fee, (iv) Class I and Class R5 shares are sold at net asset value without a sales charge at the time of purchase and may be subject to a service fee, (v) Class R3 shares are sold at net asset value without a sales charge, but bear both a service fee and a distribution fee, (vi) Class R4 shares are sold at net asset value without a sales charge at the time of purchase but bear a service fee, (vii) Class R6 shares are sold at net asset value without a sales charge at the time of purchase, and (viii) the respective classes may have different reinvestment privileges and conversion rights. Additionally, each Fund may allocate among its classes certain expenses, to the extent allocable to specific classes, including administration fees, transfer agent fees, government registration fees, certain printing and postage costs, and legal expenses. Currently, class specific expenses of the Funds are limited to distribution and service fees, transfer agent fees, and certain registration and filing fees.

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 daily 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.

September 30, 2023
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. During the fiscal year ended September 30, 2023, the Funds did not enter into repurchase agreements.
Security Valuation: All investments in securities held by the Funds are valued as described in Note 3.
Unfunded Loan Commitments: Strategic Income Fund has entered into a loan commitment with Imagefirst Holdings, LLC of which, at September 30, 2023, $0 of the $1,250,000 par commitment had been funded. The maturity date is April 27, 2028.
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. Pursuant to current U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) guidance, a transaction involving a when-issued security will not be deemed to involve a senior security as long as the Funds intend to settle the transaction physically and the transaction settles within 35 days. 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 September 30, 2023 are detailed in the Schedule of Investments.
NOTE 3 – SECURITY VALUATION
Valuation of the Funds’ portfolio investment securities is performed by the Advisor, which has been designated by the Trustees of the Trust (the "Trustees") as the Funds’ “valuation designee,” as that term is defined in rule 2a-5 under the 1940 Act. The Advisor performs this valuation function under the supervision of the Trustees and in accordance with policies and procedures that have been adopted by the Advisor and approved by the Trustees (the “Valuation Policy and Procedures”).
In its capacity as the Funds’ valuation designee, the Advisor makes good faith determinations of the fair value of portfolio securities for which market quotations are not readily available, and otherwise complies with and administers the Valuation Policy and Procedures. The Advisor performs those functions in significant measure through its Valuation and Pricing Committee (the “Committee”), though the Advisor may also obtain the assistance of others, including professional pricing service providers selected and approved by the Committee. In accordance with the Valuation Policy and Procedures, the Committee: assesses and manages the material risks associated with determining the fair value of those Fund investments for which market quotations are not readily available; selects and applies methodologies for determining and calculating such fair values; periodically reviews and tests the appropriateness and accuracy of those methodologies; monitors for circumstances that may necessitate the use of fair value; and approves, monitors, and evaluates pricing services engaged to provide evaluated prices for the Funds’ investments. The Committee provides reports on its activities to the Trustees’ Audit Committee, which is responsible for overseeing the Committee’s and the Advisor’s work in discharging the functions under the Valuation Policy and Procedures.
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 calculation valuations, but also may utilize prices obtained from pricing service providers or other methods selected by the Committee. Because fair values calculated by the Committee are estimates, the calculation of a fair 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 generally valued at the last reported sale price on the valuation date or, if there has been no sale of the investment on that date, at the mean between the last reported bid and asked prices for the investment on that 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
80   |  Thornburg Taxable Fixed Income Funds Annual Report


Notes to Financial Statements, Continued
September 30, 2023
considered traded on the exchange that is normally the primary market for that investment. For securities and other portfolio investments which are primarily listed or traded on an exchange outside the United States, the time for determining the investment’s value in accordance with the first sentence of this paragraph will be the close of that investment’s primary exchange preceding the Fund’s valuation time.
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 methodologies selected and approved by the Committee as described in the Valuation Policy and Procedures, subject to changes or additions by the Committee. For this purpose, a market quotation is considered to be readily available if it is a quoted price (unadjusted) in active markets for identical investments that the Funds can access at the measurement date. Pursuant to the Valuation Policy and Procedures, the Committee shall monitor for circumstances that may necessitate the use of fair valuation methodologies, including circumstances in which a market quotation for an investment is no longer reliable or is otherwise not readily available. For that purpose, a market quotation is not readily available when the primary market or exchange for the applicable investment is not open for the entire scheduled day of trading. A market quotation may also not be readily available if: (a) developments occurring after the most recent close of the applicable investment’s primary exchange, but prior to the close of business on any business day; or (b) an unusual event or significant period of time occurring since the availability of the market quotation, create a serious question concerning the reliability of that market quotation. Additionally, a market quotation will be considered unreliable if it would require adjustment under GAAP, or where GAAP would require consideration of additional inputs in determining the value of the investment. The Committee customarily obtains valuations in those instances from pricing service providers approved by the Committee. Such 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.
Securities held with a maturity of less than 60 days from trade date and other short-term investments are valued using the amortized cost method unless the Committee determines such method does not represent fair value. 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 Funds can be expected to vary inversely with changes in prevailing interest rates.
Investments in U.S. mutual funds are valued at net asset value (“NAV”) each business day.
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 Committee.
Forward currency contracts are valued by a third-party pricing service provider.
In any case when a pricing service provider fails to provide a valuation for a debt obligation held by the Funds, the Committee may calculate a fair value for the obligation using alternative methods selected and approved by the Committee. Additionally, in cases when the Committee 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 may calculate a fair value for the obligation using an alternative method selected and approved by the Committee.
If the market quotation for an investment is expressed in a foreign currency, that market quotation will be converted to U.S. dollars using a foreign exchange quotation from a third-party service 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.
Thornburg Taxable Fixed Income Funds Annual Report  |  81


Notes to Financial Statements, Continued
September 30, 2023
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 Committee and are generally characterized as Level 2 within the valuation hierarchy.
On days when market volatility thresholds established by the 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 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 September 30, 2023:

NOTE 4 – INVESTMENT MANAGEMENT FEE AND OTHER TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES
Pursuant to an investment advisory agreement with the Trust, the Advisor serves as the investment advisor and performs advisory services for the Funds for which the Advisor’s management fees are payable at the end of each month. Under the investment advisory agreement, each Fund pays the Advisor a management fee based on the average daily net assets of that Fund at an annual rate as shown in the following table:
LIMITED TERM U.S. GOVERNMENT FUND LIMITED TERM INCOME FUND ULTRA SHORT INCOME FUND STRATEGIC INCOME FUND
DAILY NET ASSETS FEE RATE DAILY NET ASSETS FEE RATE DAILY NET ASSETS FEE RATE DAILY NET ASSETS FEE RATE
Up to $1 billion 0.375% Up to $500 million 0.500% Up to $5 billion 0.250% Up to $500 million 0.750%
Next $1 billion 0.325 Next $500 million 0.450 Next $5 billion 0.225 Next $500 million 0.675
Over $2 billion 0.275 Next $500 million 0.400 Over $10 billion 0.200 Next $500 million 0.625
    Next $500 million 0.350     Next $500 million 0.575
    Over $2 billion 0.275     Over $2 billion 0.500
The Funds’ effective management fees, calculated on the basis of the Funds’ average daily net assets (before applicable management fee waivers) for the year ended September 30, 2023 were as shown in the following table. Total management fees incurred by the Funds for the year ended September 30, 2023 are set forth in the Statement of Operations.
  Effective
Management
Fee
Limited Term U.S. Government Fund 0.375%
Limited Term Income Fund 0.316
Ultra Short Income Fund 0.250
Strategic Income Fund 0.553
The Trust has entered into an administrative services agreement with the Advisor, whereby the Advisor will perform certain administrative services. The administrative services fees are computed as an annual percentage of the aggregate average daily net assets of all applicable Funds in the Trust as follows:
Administrative Services Fee Schedule
Daily Net Assets Fee Rate
Up to $20 billion 0.100%
$20 billion to $40 billion 0.075
$40 billion to $60 billion 0.040
Over $60 billion 0.030
The aggregate administrative services fee amount is allocated on a daily basis to each Fund based on net assets and subsequently allocated to each class of shares of the Funds. Total administrative services fees incurred by each class of shares of the Funds for the year ended September 30, 2023, 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 year ended September 30, 2023, 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 and Class C2 shares as follows:

Notes to Financial Statements, Continued
September 30, 2023
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 C2, Class I, Class R3, Class R4, and Class R5 shares of the Limited Term U.S. Government Fund and Limited Term Income Fund, Class A, Class C, Class I, Class R3, Class R4, and Class R5 shares of the 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 Ultra Short 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 year ended September 30, 2023, 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, Class C2, and Class R3 shares, under which the Funds compensate the Distributor for services in promoting the sale of Class C, Class C2 and Class 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 shares of Limited Term U.S. Government Fund and Limited Term Income Fund, .40 of 1% per annum of the average daily net assets attributable to Class C2 shares of the Limited Term U.S. Government Fund and Limited Term Income Fund, .75 of 1% per annum of the average daily net assets attributable to Class C shares of Strategic Income Fund, and .25 of 1% per annum of the average daily net assets attributable to Class R3 shares. Total fees incurred by each class of shares of the Funds under their respective service and distribution plans for the year ended September 30, 2023 are set forth in the Statements of Operations.
The Advisor has contractually agreed to waive certain fees and reimburse certain expenses incurred by certain classes of the Funds. The agreement may be terminated by the Trust at any time, but may not be terminated by the Advisor before February 1, 2024 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 year ended September 30, 2023 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 Funds’ 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. Expense caps exclude taxes, interest expenses, acquired fund fees and expenses, brokerage commissions, borrowing costs, expenses relating to short sales, and unusual expenses such as contingency fees or litigation costs.
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:

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.
As of September 30, 2023, the percentage of direct investments in the Funds held by the Trustees, officers of the Trust, and the Advisor is approximately as follows.

Federal Income Taxes: It is the policy of the Trust to comply with the provisions of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 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 fiscal year ended September 30, 2023, 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 Statements of Assets and Liabilities.
At September 30, 2023, information on the tax components of capital was as follows:

Temporary differences between book and tax basis appreciation (depreciation) on cost of investments is primarily attributed to tax deferral of losses on wash sales, premium amortization accruals, mark-to-market of forward currency contracts and partnership basis adjustments.
At September 30, 2023, 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 tax 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.
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
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 year ended September 30, 2023, the Funds’ principal exposure to derivative financial instruments of the type addressed by ASC 815 was investment in foreign currency contracts.
During the year ended September 30, 2023, Strategic Income Fund entered into forward currency contracts in the normal course of pursuing its investment objectives, with the intent of reducing the risk to the value of the Fund’s foreign investments from adverse changes in the relationship between the U.S. dollar and foreign currencies. Each of the forward currency contracts entered into by the Funds is an agreement between two parties to exchange different currencies at a specified rate of exchange at an agreed upon future date. Forward 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 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 monthly average value of open forward currency sell contracts for the year ended September 30, 2023 for Strategic Income Fund was $79,747,409.
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.
The outstanding forward currency contracts in the table located in 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.

Notes to Financial Statements, Continued
September 30, 2023
Because the ISDA Master Agreement with SSB does not result in an offset of reported amounts of financial assets and liabilities in 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 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 Strategic Income Fund’s 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 September 30, 2023 is disclosed in the following table:
  Type of Derivative(a) Counter
Party
Asset
Derivatives
Liability
Derivatives
Net
Amount
Strategic Income Fund Forward currency contracts SSB $   770,288 $  — $   770,288
    
(a) Generally, the Statement of Assets and Liabilities location for forward currency contracts is Assets - Unrealized appreciation on forward currency contracts for asset derivatives and Liabilities - Unrealized depreciation on forward currency contracts for liabilities derivatives.
Because the Funds did not receive or post cash collateral in connection with its forward currency contracts during the period, the net amounts of each Fund’s assets and liabilities which are attributable to those contracts at September 30, 2023 can be determined by offsetting the dollar amounts shown in the asset and liability columns in the preceding table, the results of which are reflected in the "Net Amount" column. The Funds’ forward currency contracts are valued each day, and the net amounts of each 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 each Fund’s Statement of Operations for the year ended September 30, 2023 are disclosed in the following table:
      Net Realized   Net Change in Unrealized
  Type of Derivative(a)   Gain (Loss)   Appreciation (Depreciation)
Strategic Income Fund Forward currency contracts     $   (2,885,992)     $   572,160
    
(a) Generally, the Statement of Operations location for forward currency contracts is Net realized gain (loss) on: forward currency contracts and Net change in unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on: forward currency contracts.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
Thornburg Taxable Fixed Income Funds
To the Board of Trustees of Thornburg Investment Trust and Shareholders of Thornburg Limited Term U.S. Government Fund, Thornburg Limited Term Income Fund, Thornburg Ultra Short Income Fund and Thornburg Strategic Income Fund
Opinions on the Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying statements of assets and liabilities, including the schedules of investments, of Thornburg Limited Term U.S. Government Fund, Thornburg Limited Term Income Fund, Thornburg Ultra Short Income Fund and Thornburg Strategic Income Fund (four of the funds constituting Thornburg Investment Trust, hereafter collectively referred to as the "Funds") as of September 30, 2023, the related statements of operations for the year ended September 30, 2023, the statements of changes in net assets for each of the two years in the period ended September 30, 2023, including the related notes, and the financial highlights for each of the periods indicated therein (collectively referred to as the “financial statements”). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of each of the Funds as of September 30, 2023, the results of each of their operations for the year then ended, the changes in each of their net assets for each of the two years in the period ended September 30, 2023 and each of the financial highlights for each of the periods indicated therein in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
Basis for Opinions
These financial statements are the responsibility of the Funds’ management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Funds’ financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB) and are required to be independent with respect to the Funds in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our audits of these financial statements in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud.
Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of September 30, 2023 by correspondence with the custodian, agent banks, transfer agent and brokers; when replies were not received from brokers, we performed other auditing procedures. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinions.

Expense Example
September 30, 2023 (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 and Class C2 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 April 1, 2023, and held until September 30, 2023.
ACTUAL EXPENSES
For each class of shares, the Actual section 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 Actual section 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 Hypothetical section 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 Hypothetical section 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 mutual funds. In addition, if these transactional costs were included, your costs would have been higher.
The actual and hypothetical examples shown assume a $1,000 investment at the beginning of the period, April 1, 2023 and held through September 30, 2023.

STATEMENT RESPECTING RENEWAL OF INVESTMENT ADVISORY AGREEMENT
The Advisor provides investment management services to each of the Funds pursuant to an investment advisory agreement (the “Agreement”). The Trustees consider the renewal of the Agreement annually, and most recently determined to renew the Agreement on September 19, 2023.
Planning for their recent consideration of the Agreement’s renewal, those Trustees who are not “interested persons” of the Trust, as defined in Section 2(a)(19) of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “independent Trustees”), met in March 2023 and May 2023 to consider aspects of their annual evaluation of the Advisor’s service to the Funds and to each other series of the Trust, to plan the annual evaluation of the Advisor’s performance, and to discuss preliminarily the information the Advisor would present to the Trustees for their review. The independent Trustees met in another independent session in July 2023 to further define certain portions of the information to be submitted by the Advisor. The independent Trustees met again in independent session in September 2023 to discuss various matters relating to the consideration of the Agreement’s renewal, including discussions with representatives of a mutual fund analyst firm engaged by the independent Trustees to provide explanations of comparative cost and expense information, comparative investment performance information, and other data obtained and analyzed by the analyst firm. In that session the independent Trustees discussed their evaluations of the Advisor’s services to the Funds and the Funds’ fee and expense levels, investment performance, and other information presented for
Thornburg Taxable Fixed Income Funds Annual Report  |  105


Other Information, Continued
September 30, 2023 (Unaudited)
the Funds, conferred independently with legal counsel respecting the factors typically considered in evaluating renewal of an advisory agreement, and conferred with representatives of the Advisor to receive explanations of certain aspects of the information they had requested. Representatives of the Advisor subsequently reviewed portions of the information with the Trustees and addressed questions from the Trustees at a full meeting session of the Trustees scheduled in September 2023 for that purpose, and the independent Trustees thereafter met again in independent session to consider the Advisor’s presentations and various specific issues respecting their consideration of the Agreement’s renewal. Following these sessions, the Trustees met to consider renewal of the Agreement, and the independent Trustees voted unanimously at that meeting to renew the Agreement for an additional term of one year.
The information below summarizes certain factors considered by the Trustees in connection with the determination to renew the Agreement. In determining to renew the Agreement, the Trustees considered a wide range of information and did not identify any single factor as controlling, and this summary does not describe all of the factors and other matters considered by the Trustees in making their determination.
Nature, Extent, and Quality of Services. The Trustees considered in their evaluation of the Agreement the written and oral reports provided to the Trustees and their standing committees throughout the year on a wide variety of topics by personnel from the Advisor’s portfolio management, fund administration, trading, operations, marketing, distribution, and compliance staffs. The Trustees also considered in this evaluation the presentations and explanations made by representatives of the Advisor in meeting sessions scheduled for consideration of the renewal of the Agreement. The Trustees further noted in their evaluation the consideration they had given to a number of topics in previous years, reports from their standing committees, and advice received from counsel.
Information noted by the Trustees as having been considered in relation to the nature, extent, and quality of services provided by the Advisor under the advisory agreement, as more fully reflected in the minutes and other records of their quarterly and committee meetings throughout the year and in previous years, and contributing to their conclusions respecting the nature, extent, and quality of the services rendered to each Fund by the Advisor included: (1) reports from portfolio managers throughout the year demonstrating that each Fund was managed in conformity with stated strategies and objectives, and conformed to investment restrictions and limitations; (2) reports demonstrating that management of each Fund remained faithful and competent, and demonstrating sufficient skill by portfolio managers in executing the Fund’s strategies in varying environments, managers’ cognizance of, and strategies to pursue, each Fund’s objectives and address pertinent market and economic trends and conditions, the evaluation and selection of individual investments, management to achieve tax efficiencies, and the structuring and composition of each Fund’s portfolio and management of Fund liquidity requirements; (3) each Fund’s achievement of its investment objectives over different periods of time; (4) presentations by, and interactions with, members of the Advisor’s fund administration, trading, operations, marketing, distribution, and compliance staffs; (5) reports from the Audit Committee and the Operations Risk Oversight Committee on their respective proceedings throughout the year, including particularly interactions with the Advisor’s personnel; (6) the sufficiency of the resources the Advisor devotes to the services it provides to each Fund, including the expertise of its personnel and staffing levels and its enhancements to the electronic systems it utilizes in providing these services, and the Advisor’s own financial management and sufficiency of its resources; (7) steps taken by the Advisor to improve its investment management process, including the hiring of additional investment personnel to support the investment management function, plans to add other investment personnel in the future, efforts to increase the diversity of backgrounds and experiences among its investment personnel, and the increased integration of risk management procedures and consideration of environmental, social, and governance factors into the investment process; (8) the measures employed by the Advisor’s personnel to achieve efficient trade execution for each Fund, including the evaluation and selection of firms to execute transactions for each Fund; and (9) steps taken to facilitate continued collaboration among the Advisor’s personnel. As in past years, the Trustees noted their assessments of the Advisor’s personnel developed in formal and informal meetings throughout the year, measures to expand and improve the depth and expertise of the Advisor’s staff, and the Advisor’s collaborative approach to investment management, continued commitment to observance of compliance and regulatory requirements in managing investments by the Funds, responsiveness to the Trustees, and other factors and circumstances.
Based upon these and other considerations, the Trustees concluded that the Advisor’s management of the Funds’ investments continued to conform to the Funds’ stated objectives and policies, and that the nature, extent, and quality of the services provided to the Funds by the Advisor remained sufficient.
Investment Performance.  The Trustees noted in their evaluation of each Fund’s investment performance the written and oral reports and investment and market analyses they had received from the Advisor’s portfolio management personnel throughout the year. The Trustees also noted their consideration of information provided to them at their request in anticipation of their annual evaluation of the Advisor’s services, including the following items of information respecting the investment performance of each Fund: (1) the Fund’s absolute investment performance and achievement of stated objectives; (2) the Advisor’s explanations and written commentary on the Fund’s performance in the context of the Fund’s objectives and reasonable expectations, and business, market, and economic conditions; (3) performance data for the ten most recent calendar years (or lesser number of years for each Fund having fewer calendar years of operations), comparing the Fund’s investment performance to a category of funds selected by an independent mutual fund analyst firm, to one or more broad-based securities indices, and to the applicable Morningstar category of funds; (4) the Fund’s investment performance for the three-month, year-to-date, one-year, three-year, five-year, since inception and, if applicable, ten-year and fifteen-year periods ending with the second quarter of the current year, comparing the Fund’s annualized returns to mutual fund categories selected by independent

September 30, 2023 (Unaudited)
mutual fund analyst firms, to one or more broad-based securities indices, and to the applicable Morningstar category of funds, and assigning a percentage rank to the Fund’s performance for each period relative to each of the fund categories; (5) analyses of specified risk and performance metrics for the Fund relative to its benchmark and to a selected peer group of funds, prepared by an independent financial analyst firm engaged by the independent Trustees; (6) information respecting positive cash flows resulting from share purchases and investment appreciation or negative cash flows resulting from redemptions and investment depreciation; (7) the analysis and observations of an independent mutual fund analyst firm respecting the Fund’s investment performance relative to a category of funds selected by that firm; (8) comparison of the Fund’s annualized return to the Fund’s benchmark index or indices over various periods since the Fund’s inception; (9) various risk and return statistics; and (10) oral commentary from the Advisor. The Trustees noted their understanding that strategies pursued for a Fund may produce intermittent lower relative performance, that underperforming Funds have, generally in the past, returned to favor as conditions changed or the strategies of those Funds gained traction, and the Advisor has in general been successful over time in remediating lower relative performance of Funds in cases where execution of investment strategies had contributed to lower performance. In those instances where a Fund had exhibited lower relative performance in certain periods, the Trustees also considered the reports they received from the Advisor throughout the year, explanations of that underperformance by reference to the stated investment strategies of the Fund, the effects of market and economic conditions on the Fund during relevant periods, and the investment decisions by the Advisor in view of the Fund’s stated strategies. The Trustees also noted in their evaluations that to the extent pertinent they attach additional significance to the performance of each Fund from the perspective of longer-term shareholders.
Further detail considered by the Trustees with respect to the investment performance of each Fund is set forth below:
Thornburg Limited Term U.S. Government Fund – the Trustees considered that the Fund outperformed its benchmark index for the year-to-date, one-, and three-year periods, that the Fund outperformed its Morningstar category for the year-to-date, ten, and fifteen-year periods, and that the Fund’s underperformance versus its benchmark index or Morningstar category in other periods was not significant. The Trustees also noted that the Fund has experienced positive total returns in seven of the last ten calendar years and has met both its primary and secondary investment objectives over time.
Thornburg Limited Term Income Fund – the Trustees considered that the Fund outperformed its benchmark index for the year-to-date, one-, three-, five-, ten-, and fifteen-year periods, and outperformed its Morningstar category for each of those periods except the three-year period. The Trustees also noted that the Fund has experienced positive total returns in seven of the last ten calendar years and has met both its primary and secondary investment objectives over time.
Thornburg Ultra Short Income Fund – the Trustees considered that the Fund outperformed its Morningstar category for the year-to-date, one-, three, and five-year periods, and outperformed its benchmark index in each of those periods and since the Fund’s inception. The Trustees also noted that the Fund has experienced positive total returns in each calendar year since the Fund’s inception and has met its investment objective over time.
Thornburg Strategic Income Fund – the Trustees considered that the Fund outperformed its benchmark index in all periods since the Fund’s inception, outperformed an additional benchmark index in all periods since the Fund’s inception except the year-to-date period, and outperformed its Morningstar category for the year-to-date, one-, three-, five-, and ten-year periods. The Trustees also noted that the Fund has experienced positive total returns in eight of the last ten calendar years and has met both its primary and secondary investment objectives over time.
Based upon their consideration of this and other information, the Trustees concluded that the Funds’ absolute and relative investment performance over a range of pertinent holding periods was generally satisfactory in view of the Funds’ objectives and strategies, and that where there was underperformance in certain periods and for certain Funds, the Advisor has taken appropriate steps to seek to mitigate that underperformance.
Comparisons of Fee and Expense Levels. Information noted by the Trustees as having been considered in this context included a variety of comparative data respecting the Funds’ fee and expense levels. This information included comparisons of each Fund’s advisory fee and overall Fund expenses to median and average fees and expenses charged to funds in the applicable Morningstar category, comparisons of the advisory fee and total expenses for a representative share class of each Fund to the fee levels and expenses of fund peer groups selected from the category by an independent mutual fund analyst firm engaged by the independent Trustees, the perspectives and advice from that mutual fund analyst firm respecting comparisons of fund fee levels and expenses to fund peer groups, and other information. In evaluating comparative fee and expense data, the Trustees considered whether the advisory fees charged to each Fund were at least generally comparable to the comparatives presented, and whether those advisory fees and overall Fund expense levels were within the range of figures established for the selected peer groups. The Trustees also considered the extent to which the Advisor had waived fees or reimbursed expenses for certain Funds and share classes thereof, and noted that information about the Funds’ current fee and expense levels is disclosed in the prospectuses for each Fund.
Further detail considered by the Trustees with respect to the comparison of the fee and expense levels of each Fund is set forth below:
Thornburg Taxable Fixed Income Funds Annual Report  |  107


Other Information, Continued
September 30, 2023 (Unaudited)
Thornburg Limited Term U.S. Government Fund – Comparative fee and expense data considered by the Trustees showed that the level of total expense for one representative share class of the Fund was lower than the median and higher than the average levels charged to funds in the applicable Morningstar category, and that the level of total expense for a second representative share class was higher than such median and average levels but within the range of total expenses for the category. Peer group data showed that the Fund’s management fee and the total expense level for a representative share class of the Fund, while both higher than the median levels for the peer group, were within the range of the management fees and total expenses for that peer group.
Thornburg Limited Term Income Fund – Comparative fee and expense data considered by the Trustees showed that the level of total expense for one representative share class of the Fund was lower than the median and higher than the average levels charged to funds in the applicable Morningstar category, and that the level of total expense for a second representative share class was higher than such median and average levels but within the range of total expenses for the category. Peer group data showed that the Fund’s management fee and the total expense level for a representative share class of the Fund, while both higher than the median levels for the peer group, were within the range of the management fees and total expenses for that peer group.
Thornburg Ultra Short Income Fund – Comparative fee and expense data considered by the Trustees showed that the level of total expense for one representative share class of the Fund was lower than the median and higher than the average levels charged to funds in the applicable Morningstar category, and that the level of total expense for a second representative share class was higher than such median and average levels but within the range of total expenses for the category. Peer group data showed that the Fund’s management fee and the total expense level for a representative share class of the Fund were both lower than the median levels for the peer group.
Thornburg Strategic Income Fund – Comparative fee and expense data considered by the Trustees showed that the level of total expense for one representative share class of the Fund was lower than the median and higher than the average levels charged to funds in the applicable Morningstar category, and that the level of total expense for a second representative share class was lower than the average level and higher than, but still within the range of, the median level for the category. Peer group data showed that the Fund’s management fee and the total expense level for a representative share class of the Fund were both lower than the median levels for the peer group.
The Trustees did not find any of the differences between the Funds’ fee and expense data and the comparable fee and expense data significant in view of their findings and conclusions respecting the other factors considered, including the quality of services provided by the Advisor to each Fund.
The Trustees also noted their consideration of information respecting the advisory fees charged by the Advisor to other investment management clients, including the Advisor’s sub-advised mutual funds and other institutional clients, together with information about fees charged by other advisors to different clients, analysis of the differences between the requirements of institutional clients and mutual funds, analysis of the differences between the requirements of a sub-advised mutual fund and a fund as to which the investment advisor is the primary advisor and sponsor, the differences between the mutual funds as to which the Advisor is a sub-advisor and the Funds, and the consequently different investment management services provided to the different categories of clients and the differing contexts in which these arrangements are entered into. The Trustees confirmed their previous observations that the differences between the fees charged by the Advisor to different types of clients did not appear exceptional, and that the fee rates charged by the Advisor or by other investment advisors to different types of clients had limited relevance to the evaluation of the fee rates charged by the Advisor to the Funds.
Costs and Profitability of Advisor.  In reviewing the profitability of the Advisor’s services to the Funds under the Agreement, the Trustees considered an analysis of the Advisor’s costs and the estimated profitability to the Advisor of its services, together with figures for the profitability of a selection of other, publicly listed investment management firms. The Trustees noted that the comparability of the Advisor’s estimated profitability to the publicly disclosed information about the profitability of other investment management firms is limited due to the nature of those firms and other factors. The Trustees considered information from the Advisor respecting investment of its profits to maintain staffing levels, and noted that the Advisor’s profits are an important element in the compensation of employees who work for the benefit of the Funds and their shareholders. The Trustees considered information from the Advisor respecting the use of profits to enhance staff competencies through training and other measures, hire personnel to expand and develop the scope of senior management expertise, pay competitive levels of compensation, and add to the Advisor’s electronic and information technology systems to maintain or improve service levels. The Trustees also considered the contribution of the Advisor’s cost management to its profitability, and the relationship of the Advisor’s financial resources and profitability in previous years to its ability to attract necessary personnel, invest in systems and other assets required for its service to the Funds, and maintain or improve service levels for the Funds notwithstanding fluctuations in revenues and profitability. The information considered did not indicate to the Trustees that the Advisor’s profitability was excessive.
Potential Economies of Scale. In reviewing the extent to which economies of scale would be realized by each Fund as it grows and whether fee levels reflect potential economies of scale, the Trustees considered the breakpoint structure for advisory fees chargeable to each Fund, comparisons of the fee breakpoint structure for each Fund with breakpoint structures (or the absence of such structures) for other funds in one or more peer groups selected by an independent mutual fund analyst firm, the effects of the breakpoint structure and other expense factors realized by certain funds of the Trust as their asset levels had increased, the Advisor’s undertakings to waive or reimburse certain fees and expenses for certain Funds and share classes, and the Advisor’s expenditures from its own profits and

September 30, 2023 (Unaudited)
resources to maintain staffing levels, pay competitive levels of compensation, and add to its electronic and information technology systems to maintain or improve service levels. The information provided demonstrated to the Trustees that the Funds’ advisory fee breakpoint structures are reasonable in relation to the structures observed in the other funds in their respective peer groups, and that shareholders may be expected to benefit from any economies of scale, due to the advisory agreement’s breakpoint fee structure for each Fund and other factors.
Potential Ancillary Benefits. In reviewing potential benefits to the Advisor because of its relationship to the Funds, the Trustees considered explanations from the Advisor respecting its receipt of certain research services from broker dealers, and the benefits to both the Funds and the Advisor of the Advisor’s expansion of its staffing, compliance, and systems capabilities and other resources to serve a broader variety of investment management clients. The Trustees also considered how the establishment of additional investment products by the Advisor may benefit the Funds. No unusual or unfair benefits to the Advisor from its relationship to the Funds were identified by the Trustees.
Summary of Conclusions. The Trustees concluded that the general nature, extent, and quality of the Advisor’s services performed under the Agreement remained sufficient, the Advisor continued to actively and competently pursue the Funds’ investment objectives and adhere to the Funds’ investment policies, and that the absolute and relative investment performance of the Funds over pertinent holding periods on the whole was satisfactory in the context of the Funds’ objectives and strategies. The Trustees further concluded that the level of the advisory fee charged to each Fund by the Advisor is fair and reasonable in relation to the services provided by the Advisor, in view of the nature, extent, and quality of those services, the investment performance of each such Fund after fees and expenses, the clear disclosure of fees and expenses in the Funds’ prospectuses, comparisons of fees and expenses charged to each Fund to fees and expenses charged to other mutual funds, and the other factors and relevant circumstances considered. The Trustees accordingly determined to renew the Agreement for an additional term of one year for each of the Funds.

Trustees’ Statement to Shareholders (Unaudited)
Readopted September 19, 2023
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.
(This statement is submitted for the general information of the shareholders of Thornburg Investment Trust. For prospective investors in any fund of Thornburg Investment Trust, this communication must be preceded or accompanied by a prospectus. You may obtain a current copy of the Funds’ prospectus, which describes the Funds’ management fees, expenses and risks, by calling 1-800-847-0200 or by visiting www.thornburg.com/download.

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.

Thornburg Short Duration Municipal Fund

Investment Goal and
Fund Overview
The primary goal of Short Duration Municipal Fund is to seek provide current income exempt from federal income tax, consistent with preservation of capital.
The Fund is an actively managed, laddered portfolio of municipal bonds with a dollar-weighted average duration of normally no more than three years. Actively laddering portfolios involves building a portfolio of bonds with different maturities, based on our assessment of market risks and individual credit opportunities, so that a portion of the portfolio matures each year and cash from maturing bonds may be invested in bonds with longer maturities.
Performance drivers and detractors for the reporting period ended September 30, 2023
» The Fund’s Class I shares returned 2.50% versus the ICE BofA 1-3 Year U.S. Municipal Securities Index’s (the “Index”) return of 2.17% during the 12-month period ended September 30, 2023.  The Fund’s outperformance relative to the Index occurred during a period in which higher quality municipal bonds outperformed lower quality municipal bonds, longer maturity municipal bonds outperformed shorter maturity municipal bonds, and bonds from states with strong economies generally outperformed bonds from states with weaker economies.
» The Fund’s yield curve positioning was the largest contributor to performance relative to the Index. The Fund’s longer investable universe of 5-year municipal bond maturities and less versus the Index’s investable universe of 3-year municipal bond maturities and less contributed to performance relative to the Index during the period.
» The Fund’s lower coupon return was the largest detractor from performance relative to the Index during the period. The Fund’s longer investable range of 5-years or less municipal bond maturities versus the Index’s investable range of 3-years or less allowed the Index to reinvest more proceeds during the period as a larger portion of its holdings matured during the period. This allowed the Index to increase its return from coupons as yields rose in the municipal bond market through the reinvestment of proceeds from maturities.

Thornburg Limited Term Municipal Fund

Investment Goal and
Fund Overview
The primary investment goal of Limited Term Municipal Fund is to seek 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.
The Fund is an actively managed, laddered portfolio of municipal bonds with a dollar-weighted average maturity normally of less than five years. Actively laddering portfolios involves building a portfolio of bonds with different maturities, based on our assessment of market risks and individual credit opportunities, so that portion of the portfolio matures each year and cash from maturing bonds may be invested in bonds with longer maturities.
Performance drivers and detractors for the reporting period ended September 30, 2023
» The Fund’s Class I shares returned 2.14% versus the ICE BofA 1-10 Year U.S. Municipal Securities Index’s (the “Index”) return of 2.20% during the 12-month period ended September 30, 2023. The Fund’s underperformance relative to the Index occurred during a period in which higher quality municipal bonds outperformed lower quality municipal bonds, longer maturity municipal bonds outperformed shorter maturity municipal bonds, and bonds from states with strong economies generally outperformed bonds from states with weaker economies.
» The Fund’s performance benefited greatly from the Federal Reserve’s interest rate hikes during the period. The return to a more normalized interest rate environment and higher municipal bond yields led returns generated by coupon payments to be a key driver of the Fund’s absolute and relative performance during the period. The Fund’s performance relative to the Index was also driven to a lesser extent by its yield curve positioning and individual bond selection during the period.
» The Fund’s duration positioning was the largest detractor from performance relative to the Index. Municipal yields set multi-year highs in October 2022 but fell through much of the period to finish flat to slightly down, which led the Fund’s shorter duration bias to be a detractor from performance relative to the Index.

Thornburg California Limited Term Municipal Fund

Investment Goal and
Fund Overview
The primary investment goal of Limited Term California Fund is to seek 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.
The Fund is an actively managed, laddered portfolio of California and U.S. territory municipal bonds with a dollar-weighted average maturity normally less than five years. Actively laddering portfolios involves building a portfolio of bonds with different maturities, based on our assessment of market risks and individual credit opportunities, so that a portion of the portfolio matures each year and cash from maturing bonds may be invested in bonds with longer maturities.
Performance drivers and detractors for the reporting period ended September 30, 2023
» The Fund’s Class I shares returned 2.23% versus the ICE BofA 1-10 Year U.S. Municipal Securities Index’s (the “Index”) return of 2.20% during the 12-month period ended September 30, 2023. The Fund’s outperformance relative to the Index occurred during a period in which higher quality municipal bonds outperformed lower quality municipal bonds, longer maturity municipal bonds outperformed shorter maturity municipal bonds, and bonds from states with strong economies generally outperformed bonds from states with weaker economies.
» The Fund’s performance benefited greatly from the Federal Reserve’s interest rate hikes during the period. The return to a more normalized interest rate environment and higher municipal bond yields led returns generated by coupon payments to be a key driver of the Fund’s absolute and relative performance during the period. The Fund’s performance relative to the Index was driven to a lesser extent by security selection and its focus on California bonds.
» The Fund’s performance from duration and sector and quality allocations detracted from performance relative to the Index during the period. The Fund’s smaller allocation to pre-refunded municipal bonds contributed to the underperformance of those investment factors because most pre-refunded municipal bonds are high-quality and short duration in nature.

The Fund is an actively managed, laddered portfolio of New Mexico and U.S. territory municipal bonds with a dollar weighted average maturity of normally three to ten years. Actively laddering portfolios involves building a portfolio of bonds with different maturities, based on our assessment of market risks and individual credit opportunities, so that a portion of the portfolio matures each year and cash from maturing bonds may be invested in bonds with longer maturities.
Performance drivers and detractors for the reporting period ended September 30, 2023
» The Fund’s Class I shares returned 1.76% versus the ICE BofA 3-15 Year U.S. Municipal Securities Index’s (the “Index”) return of 2.79% during the 12-month period ended September 30, 2023. The Fund’s underperformance relative to the Index occurred during a period in which higher quality municipal bonds outperformed lower quality municipal bonds, longer maturity municipal bonds outperformed shorter maturity municipal bonds, and bonds from states with strong economies generally outperformed bonds from states with weaker economies.
» The Fund’s performance benefited greatly from the Federal Reserve’s interest rate hikes during the period. The return to a more normalized interest rate environment and higher municipal bond yields led returns generated by coupon payments to be a key driver of the Fund’s absolute and relative performance during the period. The Fund’s performance relative to the Index was also driven to a lesser extent by its shorter duration bias.
» The Fund’s focus on New Mexico bonds detracted from performance relative to the Index. The Fund’s single state focus and the impact on performance relative to the Index was evident in two components of returns: sector and quality returns and individual bond selection. Both factors were detractors of the Fund’s absolute and relative performance during the period, driven by investors’ perceived weakness of the New Mexico economy.

Investment Goal and
Fund Overview
The primary investment goal of Intermediate New York Fund is to seek as high a level of current income exempt from federal, New York State and New York City 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 long term bond portfolios.
The Fund is an actively managed, laddered portfolio of New York and US territory municipal bonds with a dollar weighted average maturity of normally three to ten years.

» The Fund’s Class I shares returned 2.55% versus the ICE BofA 3-15 Year U.S. Municipal Securities Index’s (the “Index”) return of 2.79% during the 12-month period ended September 30, 2023. The Fund’s underperformance relative to the Index occurred during a period in which higher quality municipal bonds outperformed lower quality municipal bonds, longer maturity municipal bonds outperformed shorter maturity municipal bonds, and bonds from states with strong economies generally outperformed bonds from states with weaker economies.

» The Fund’s duration positioning was the largest detractor from performance relative to the Index. Municipal yields set multi-year highs in October 2022 but fell through much of the period to finish flat to slightly down, which led the Fund’s shorter duration bias to be a detractor from performance relative to the Index.

Thornburg Strategic Municipal Income Fund

Investment Goal and
Fund Overview
The primary goal of Strategic Municipal Income Fund is to seek a high level of current income exempt from federal individual income tax.
The Fund has a flexible mandate to invest across a wide range of maturities and credit qualities. The Fund will not invest more than 50% of its portfolio in bonds rated below investment grade and/or unrated bonds at the time of purchase. Also, the portfolio will generally be diversified among sectors, issuers, credit qualities, geographic regions, and segments of the yield curve.
Performance drivers and detractors for the reporting period ended September 30, 2023
» The Fund’s Class I shares returned 2.74% versus the ICE BofA U.S. Municipal Master Index’s (the “Index”) return of 2.95% during the 12-month period ended September 30, 2023. The Fund’s underperformance relative to the Index occurred during a period in which higher quality municipal bonds outperformed lower quality municipal bonds, longer maturity municipal bonds outperformed shorter maturity municipal bonds, and bonds from states with strong economies generally outperformed bonds from states with weaker economies.
» The Fund’s duration and yield curve positioning were both detractors from absolute performance, but both were positive contributors to performance relative to the Index. The performance of both factors was attributable to the Fund’s lower allocation to bonds with maturities of 20 years or more, which sold off significantly at the end of the period.
» The Fund’s individual bond selection during the period was the largest detractor from performance relative to the Index. The Fund’s holdings of single-family housing and airport revenue bonds detracted from performance relative to the Index.

Notes to Financial Statements, Continued
September 30, 2023
As of September 30, 2023, the Funds each currently offer up to four classes of shares of beneficial interest.
Each class of shares of the Funds represents an interest in the same portfolio of investments, except that (i) Class A shares are sold subject to a front-end sales charge collected at the time the shares are purchased and bear a service fee, (ii) Class C shares are sold at net asset value without a sales charge at the time of purchase, but are subject to a contingent deferred sales charge upon redemption within one year of purchase, and bear both a service fee and a distribution fee, (iii) Class C2 shares are sold at net asset value without a sales charge at the time of purchase, but are subject to a contingent deferred sales charge upon redemption within one year of purchase, and bear both a service fee and a distribution fee, (iv) Class D shares are sold at net asset value without a sales charge at the time of purchase or redemption, and bear both a service fee and a distribution fee, (v) 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, and (vi) the respective classes may have different reinvestment privileges and conversion rights. Additionally, each Fund may allocate among its classes certain expenses, to the extent allocable to specific classes, including administration fees, transfer agent fees, government registration fees, certain printing and postage costs, and legal expenses. Currently, class specific expenses of the Funds are limited to distribution and service fees, transfer agent fees, and certain registration and filing fees.
At September 30, 2023, the following classes of shares are offered in each respective Fund:
  Class A Class C Class C2 Class D Class I
Short Duration Municipal Fund X       X

Strategic Municipal Income Fund X X     X
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 daily 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.
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.
Thornburg Municipal Funds Annual Report  |  71


Notes to Financial Statements, Continued
September 30, 2023
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. Pursuant to current U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) guidance, a transaction involving a when-issued security will not be deemed to involve a senior security as long as the Funds intend to settle the transaction physically and the transaction settles within 35 days. 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 September 30, 2023 are detailed in the Schedule of Investments.
NOTE 3 – SECURITY VALUATION
Valuation of the Funds’ portfolio investment securities is performed by the Advisor, which has been designated by the Trustees of the Trust (the "Trustees") as the Funds’ “valuation designee,” as that term is defined in rule 2a-5 under the 1940 Act. The Advisor performs this valuation function under the supervision of the Trustees and in accordance with policies and procedures that have been adopted by the Advisor and approved by the Trustees (the “Valuation Policy and Procedures”).
In its capacity as the Funds’ valuation designee, the Advisor makes good faith determinations of the fair value of portfolio securities for which market quotations are not readily available, and otherwise complies with and administers the Valuation Policy and Procedures. The Advisor performs those functions in significant measure through its Valuation and Pricing Committee (the “Committee”), though the Advisor may also obtain the assistance of others, including professional pricing service providers selected and approved by the Committee. In accordance with the Valuation Policy and Procedures, the Committee: assesses and manages the material risks associated with determining the fair value of those Fund investments for which market quotations are not readily available; selects and applies methodologies for determining and calculating such fair values; periodically reviews and tests the appropriateness and accuracy of those methodologies; monitors for circumstances that may necessitate the use of fair value; and approves, monitors, and evaluates pricing services engaged to provide evaluated prices for the Funds’ investments. The Committee provides reports on its activities to the Trustees’ Audit Committee, which is responsible for overseeing the Committee’s and the Advisor’s work in discharging the functions under the Valuation Policy and Procedures.
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 calculation valuations, but also may utilize prices obtained from pricing service providers or other methods selected by the Committee. Because fair values calculated by the Committee are estimates, the calculation of a fair 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 Committee.
In any case when a pricing service provider fails to provide a valuation for a debt obligation held by the Funds, the Committee may calculate a fair value for the obligation using alternative methods selected and approved by the Committee. Additionally, in cases when the Committee 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 may calculate a fair value for the obligation using an alternative method selected and approved by the 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 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 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 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 September 30, 2023:

Municipal Fund. Total fees incurred by each class of shares of the Funds under their respective service and distribution plans for the year ended September 30, 2023, are set forth in the Statements of Operations.
The Advisor has contractually agreed to waive certain fees and reimburse certain expenses incurred by certain classes of the Funds. The agreement may be terminated by the Trust at any time, but may not be terminated by the Advisor before February 1, 2024 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 year ended September 30, 2023 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 Funds’ 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. Expense caps exclude taxes, interest expenses, acquired fund fees and expenses, brokerage commissions, borrowing costs, expenses relating to short sales, and unusual expenses such as contingency fees or litigation costs.
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:

NOTE 5 – TAXES
Federal Income Taxes: It is the policy of the Trust to comply with the provisions of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 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 fiscal year ended September 30, 2023, 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 Statements of Assets and Liabilities.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
Thornburg Municipal Funds
To the Board of Trustees of Thornburg Investment Trust and Shareholders of Thornburg Short Duration Municipal Fund, Thornburg Limited Term Municipal Fund, Thornburg California Limited Term Municipal Fund, Thornburg New Mexico Intermediate Municipal Fund, Thornburg New York Intermediate Municipal Fund, Thornburg Intermediate Municipal Fund and Thornburg Strategic Municipal Income Fund
Opinions on the Financial Statements 
We have audited the accompanying statements of assets and liabilities, including the schedules of investments, of Thornburg Short Duration Municipal Fund, Thornburg Limited Term Municipal Fund, Thornburg California Limited Term Municipal Fund, Thornburg New Mexico Intermediate Municipal Fund, Thornburg New York Intermediate Municipal Fund, Thornburg Intermediate Municipal Fund and Thornburg Strategic Municipal Income Fund (seven of the funds constituting Thornburg Investment Trust, hereafter collectively referred to as the "Funds") as of September 30, 2023, the related statements of operations for the year ended September 30, 2023, the statements of changes in net assets for each of the two years in the period ended September 30, 2023, including the related notes, and the financial highlights for each of the periods indicated therein (collectively referred to as the “financial statements”). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of each of the Funds as of September 30, 2023, the results of each of their operations for the year then ended, the changes in each of their net assets for each of the two years in the period ended September 30, 2023 and each of the financial highlights for each of the periods indicated therein in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
Basis for Opinions 
These financial statements are the responsibility of the Funds’ management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Funds’ financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB) and are required to be independent with respect to the Funds in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our audits of these financial statements in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. 
Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of September 30, 2023 by correspondence with the custodian and brokers; when replies were not received from brokers, we performed other auditing procedures. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinions.

Expense Example
September 30, 2023 (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 and Class C2 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 April 1, 2023, and held until September 30, 2023.
ACTUAL EXPENSES
For each class of shares, the Actual section 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 Actual section 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 Hypothetical section 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 Hypothetical section 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 mutual funds. In addition, if these transactional costs were included, your costs would have been higher.
The actual and hypothetical examples shown assume a $1,000 investment at the beginning of the period, April 1, 2023 and held through September 30, 2023.

STATEMENT RESPECTING RENEWAL OF INVESTMENT ADVISORY AGREEMENT
The Advisor provides investment management services to each of the Funds pursuant to an investment advisory agreement (the “Agreement”). The Trustees consider the renewal of the Agreement annually, and most recently determined to renew the Agreement on September 19, 2023.
Planning for their recent consideration of the Agreement’s renewal, those Trustees who are not “interested persons” of the Trust, as defined in Section 2(a)(19) of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “independent Trustees”), met in March 2023 and May 2023 to consider aspects of their annual evaluation of the Advisor’s service to the Funds and to each other series of the Trust, to plan the annual evaluation of the Advisor’s performance, and to discuss preliminarily the information the Advisor would present to the Trustees for their review. The independent Trustees met in another independent session in July 2023 to further define certain portions of the information to be submitted by the Advisor. The independent Trustees met again in independent session in September 2023 to discuss various matters relating to the consideration of the Agreement’s renewal, including discussions with representatives of a mutual fund analyst firm engaged by the independent Trustees to provide explanations of comparative cost and expense information, comparative investment performance information, and other data obtained and analyzed by the analyst firm. In that session the independent Trustees discussed their evaluations of the Advisor’s services to the Funds and the Funds’ fee and expense levels, investment performance, and other information presented for the Funds, conferred independently with legal counsel respecting the factors typically considered in evaluating renewal of an advisory agreement, and conferred with representatives of the Advisor to receive explanations of certain aspects of the information they had requested. Representatives of the Advisor subsequently reviewed portions of the information with the Trustees and addressed questions from the Trustees at a full meeting session of the Trustees scheduled in September 2023 for that purpose, and the independent Trustees

September 30, 2023 (Unaudited)
thereafter met again in independent session to consider the Advisor’s presentations and various specific issues respecting their consideration of the Agreement’s renewal. Following these sessions, the Trustees met to consider renewal of the Agreement, and the independent Trustees voted unanimously at that meeting to renew the Agreement for an additional term of one year.
The information below summarizes certain factors considered by the Trustees in connection with the determination to renew the Agreement. In determining to renew the Agreement, the Trustees considered a wide range of information and did not identify any single factor as controlling, and this summary does not describe all of the factors and other matters considered by the Trustees in making their determination.
Nature, Extent, and Quality of Services. The Trustees considered in their evaluation of the Agreement the written and oral reports provided to the Trustees and their standing committees throughout the year on a wide variety of topics by personnel from the Advisor’s portfolio management, fund administration, trading, operations, marketing, distribution, and compliance staffs. The Trustees also considered in this evaluation the presentations and explanations made by representatives of the Advisor in meeting sessions scheduled for consideration of the renewal of the Agreement. The Trustees further noted in their evaluation the consideration they had given to a number of topics in previous years, reports from their standing committees, and advice received from counsel.
Information noted by the Trustees as having been considered in relation to the nature, extent, and quality of services provided by the Advisor under the advisory agreement, as more fully reflected in the minutes and other records of their quarterly and committee meetings throughout the year and in previous years, and contributing to their conclusions respecting the nature, extent, and quality of the services rendered to each Fund by the Advisor included: (1) reports from portfolio managers throughout the year demonstrating that each Fund was managed in conformity with stated strategies and objectives, and conformed to investment restrictions and limitations; (2) reports demonstrating that management of each Fund remained faithful and competent, and demonstrating sufficient skill by portfolio managers in executing the Fund’s strategies in varying environments, managers’ cognizance of, and strategies to pursue, each Fund’s objectives and address pertinent market and economic trends and conditions, the evaluation and selection of individual investments, management to achieve tax efficiencies, and the structuring and composition of each Fund’s portfolio and management of Fund liquidity requirements; (3) each Fund’s achievement of its investment objectives over different periods of time; (4) presentations by, and interactions with, members of the Advisor’s fund administration, trading, operations, marketing, distribution, and compliance staffs; (5) reports from the Audit Committee and the Operations Risk Oversight Committee on their respective proceedings throughout the year, including particularly interactions with the Advisor’s personnel; (6) the sufficiency of the resources the Advisor devotes to the services it provides to each Fund, including the expertise of its personnel and staffing levels and its enhancements to the electronic systems it utilizes in providing these services, and the Advisor’s own financial management and sufficiency of its resources; (7) steps taken by the Advisor to improve its investment management process, including the hiring of additional investment personnel to support the investment management function, plans to add other investment personnel in the future, efforts to increase the diversity of backgrounds and experiences among its investment personnel, and the increased integration of risk management procedures and consideration of environmental, social, and governance factors into the investment process; (8) the measures employed by the Advisor’s personnel to achieve efficient trade execution for each Fund, including the evaluation and selection of firms to execute transactions for each Fund; and (9) steps taken to facilitate continued collaboration among the Advisor’s personnel. As in past years, the Trustees noted their assessments of the Advisor’s personnel developed in formal and informal meetings throughout the year, measures to expand and improve the depth and expertise of the Advisor’s staff, and the Advisor’s collaborative approach to investment management, continued commitment to observance of compliance and regulatory requirements in managing investments by the Funds, responsiveness to the Trustees, and other factors and circumstances.
Based upon these and other considerations, the Trustees concluded that the Advisor’s management of the Funds’ investments continued to conform to the Funds’ stated objectives and policies, and that the nature, extent, and quality of the services provided to the Funds by the Advisor remained sufficient.
 Investment Performance.  The Trustees noted in their evaluation of each Fund’s investment performance the written and oral reports and investment and market analyses they had received from the Advisor’s portfolio management personnel throughout the year. The Trustees also noted their consideration of information provided to them at their request in anticipation of their annual evaluation of the Advisor’s services, including the following items of information respecting the investment performance of each Fund: (1) the Fund’s absolute investment performance and achievement of stated objectives; (2) the Advisor’s explanations and written commentary on the Fund’s performance in the context of the Fund’s objectives and reasonable expectations, and business, market, and economic conditions; (3) performance data for the ten most recent calendar years (or lesser number of years for each Fund having fewer calendar years of operations), comparing the Fund’s investment performance to a category of funds selected by an independent mutual fund analyst firm, to one or more broad-based securities indices, and to the applicable Morningstar category of funds; (4) the Fund’s investment performance for the three-month, year-to-date, one-year, three-year, five-year, since inception and, if applicable, ten-year and fifteen-year periods ending with the second quarter of the current year, comparing the Fund’s annualized returns to mutual fund categories selected by independent mutual fund analyst firms, to one or more broad-based securities indices, and to the applicable Morningstar category of funds, and assigning a percentage rank to the Fund’s performance for each period relative to each of the fund categories; (5) analyses of specified risk and performance metrics for the Fund relative to its benchmark and to a selected peer group of funds, prepared by an independent financial analyst firm engaged by the independent Trustees; (6) information respecting positive cash flows resulting from share purchases

and investment appreciation or negative cash flows resulting from redemptions and investment depreciation; (7) the analysis and observations of an independent mutual fund analyst firm respecting the Fund’s investment performance relative to a category of funds selected by that firm; (8) comparison of the Fund’s annualized return to the Fund’s benchmark index or indices over various periods since the Fund’s inception; (9) various risk and return statistics; and (10) oral commentary from the Advisor. The Trustees noted their understanding that strategies pursued for a Fund may produce intermittent lower relative performance, that underperforming Funds have, generally in the past, returned to favor as conditions changed or the strategies of those Funds gained traction, and the Advisor has in general been successful over time in remediating lower relative performance of Funds in cases where execution of investment strategies had contributed to lower performance. In those instances where a Fund had exhibited lower relative performance in certain periods, the Trustees also considered the reports they received from the Advisor throughout the year, explanations of that underperformance by reference to the stated investment strategies of the Fund, the effects of market and economic conditions on the Fund during relevant periods, and the investment decisions by the Advisor in view of the Fund’s stated strategies. The Trustees also noted in their evaluations that to the extent pertinent they attach additional significance to the performance of each Fund from the perspective of longer-term shareholders.
Further detail considered by the Trustees with respect to the investment performance of each Fund is set forth below:
Thornburg Short Duration Municipal Fund – the Trustees considered that the Fund outperformed its Morningstar category over the year-to-date period, outperformed its benchmark index over that period and over the one-year period, and that the degree of the Fund’s underperformance in other periods was not significant. The Trustees observed that the Fund has delivered positive total returns in seven of the nine calendar years since its inception and has met its investment objective over time.
Thornburg Limited Term Municipal Fund – the Trustees considered that the Fund outperformed its Morningstar category over the ten- and fifteen-year periods, that the Fund’s underperformance versus its Morningstar category in other periods was not significant, and that a representative share class of the Fund has delivered positive total returns in eight of the last ten calendar years. The Trustees considered explanations from the Advisor respecting the market and economic conditions that have contributed to the Fund’s underperformance compared to its benchmark index in certain recent periods and noted that the Fund has met both its primary and secondary investment objectives over time.
Thornburg California Limited Term Municipal Fund – the Trustees considered that the Fund outperformed its Morningstar category over the year-to-date, one-, ten-, and fifteen-year periods, and that underperformance in other periods relative to its Morningstar category and its benchmark index was not significant. The Trustees also considered that the Fund has delivered positive total returns in seven of the last ten calendar years and has met both its primary and secondary investment objectives over time.
Thornburg New Mexico Intermediate Municipal Fund – the Trustees considered the limited utility of comparisons between the Fund’s investment performance and its Morningstar category or benchmark index given the lack of other funds focused on investments in New Mexico debt obligations. The Trustees observed that the Fund has delivered positive total returns in seven of the last ten calendar years and has met both its primary and secondary investment objectives over time.
Thornburg New York Intermediate Municipal Fund – the Trustees noted that the Fund’s underperformance relative to its Morningstar category and benchmark index over most periods was not significant, that the Fund delivered positive total returns in seven of the last ten calendar years, and that the Fund has met both its primary and secondary investment objectives over time.
Thornburg Intermediate Municipal Fund – the Trustees considered that the Fund has outperformed its Morningstar category over the one-, three-, five-, ten-, and fifteen-year periods, and has outperformed its benchmark index over the year-to-date and three-year periods and performed comparably to the benchmark index in other periods. The Trustees also considered that the Fund has delivered positive total returns in seven of the last ten calendar years and has met both its primary and secondary investment objectives over time.
Thornburg Strategic Municipal Income Fund – the Trustees considered that the Fund outperformed its Morningstar category for the year-to-date, three-, and ten-year periods, outperformed its benchmark index over the three-year period and since the Fund’s inception, and that the Fund’s underperformance versus its Morningstar category or benchmark index in other periods was not significant. The Trustees observed that the Fund delivered positive total returns in seven of the last ten calendar years, and that the Fund has met its investment objective over time.
Based upon their consideration of this and other information, the Trustees concluded that the Funds’ absolute and relative investment performance over a range of pertinent holding periods was generally satisfactory in view of the Funds’ objectives and strategies, and that where there was underperformance in certain periods and for certain Funds, the Advisor has taken appropriate steps to seek to mitigate that underperformance.
Comparisons of Fee and Expense Levels. Information noted by the Trustees as having been considered in this context included a variety of comparative data respecting the Funds’ fee and expense levels. This information included comparisons of each Fund’s advisory fee and overall Fund expenses to median and average fees and expenses charged to funds in the applicable Morningstar category, comparisons of

the advisory fee and total expenses for a representative share class of each Fund to the fee levels and expenses of fund peer groups selected from the category by an independent mutual fund analyst firm engaged by the independent Trustees, the perspectives and advice from that mutual fund analyst firm respecting comparisons of fund fee levels and expenses to fund peer groups, and other information. In evaluating comparative fee and expense data, the Trustees considered whether the advisory fees charged to each Fund were at least generally comparable to the comparatives presented, and whether those advisory fees and overall Fund expense levels were within the range of figures established for the selected peer groups. The Trustees also considered the extent to which the Advisor had waived fees or reimbursed expenses for certain Funds and share classes thereof, and noted that information about the Funds’ current fee and expense levels is disclosed in the prospectuses for each Fund.
Further detail considered by the Trustees with respect to the comparison of the fee and expense levels of each Fund is set forth below:
Thornburg Short Duration Municipal Fund – Comparative fee and expense data considered by the Trustees showed that the level of total expense for one representative share class of the Fund was lower than the median and higher than the average levels charged to funds in the applicable Morningstar category, and that the level of total expense for a second representative share class was higher than such median and average levels but within the range of total expenses for the category. Peer group data showed that the Fund’s management fee and the total expense level for a representative share class of the Fund, while both higher than the median levels for the peer group, were within the range of the management fees and total expenses for that peer group.
Thornburg Limited Term Municipal Fund – Comparative fee and expense data considered by the Trustees showed that the level of total expense for one representative share class of the Fund was lower than the median and average levels charged to funds in the applicable Morningstar category, and that the level of total expense for a second representative share class was higher than such median and average levels but within the range of total expenses for the category. Peer group data showed that the Fund’s management fee and the total expense level for a representative share class of the Fund, while both higher than the median levels for the peer group, were within the range of the management fees and total expenses for that peer group.
Thornburg California Limited Term Municipal Fund – Comparative fee and expense data considered by the Trustees showed that the level of total expense for one representative share class of the Fund was lower than the median and average levels charged to funds in the applicable Morningstar category, and that the level of total expense for a second representative share class was higher than such median and average levels but within the range of total expenses for the category. Peer group data showed that the Fund’s management fee was lower than the median level for the peer group, and that the total expense level of one representative share class of the Fund was equal to the median total expense level for the peer group.
Thornburg New Mexico Intermediate Municipal Fund – Comparative fee and expense data considered by the Trustees showed that the level of total expense for one representative share class of the Fund was lower than the median and average levels charged to funds in the applicable Morningstar category, and that the level of total expense for a second representative share class was higher than such median and average levels but within the range of total expenses for the category. Peer group data showed that the Fund’s management fee and the total expense level for a representative share class of the Fund, while both higher than the median levels for the peer group, were within the range of the management fees and total expenses for that peer group. 
Thornburg New York Intermediate Municipal Fund – Comparative fee and expense data considered by the Trustees showed that the level of total expense for one representative share class of the Fund was equal to the median level and lower than the average level charged to funds in the applicable Morningstar category, and that the level of total expense for a second representative share class was higher than such median and average levels but within the range of total expenses for the category. Peer group data showed that the Fund’s management fee was lower than the median level for the peer group, and that the total expense level of one representative share class was higher than the median level, but within the range of, the total expenses of the peer group.
Thornburg Intermediate Municipal Fund – Comparative fee and expense data considered by the Trustees showed that the level of total expense for one representative share class of the Fund was lower than the median and average levels charged to funds in the applicable Morningstar category, and that the level of total expense for a second representative share class was higher than such median and average levels but within the range of total expenses for the category. Peer group data showed that the Fund’s management fee and the total expense level for a representative share class of the Fund, while both higher than the median levels for the peer group, were within the range of the management fees and total expenses for that peer group.
Thornburg Strategic Municipal Income Fund – Comparative fee and expense data considered by the Trustees showed that the level of total expense for one representative share class of the Fund was lower than the median and average levels charged to funds in the applicable Morningstar category, and that the level of total expense for a second representative share class was higher than such median and average levels but within the range of total expenses for the category. Peer group data showed that the Fund’s management fee was lower than the median level for the peer group, and that the total expense level of one representative share class was higher than the median level, but within the range of, the total expenses of the peer group.

The Trustees did not find any of the differences between the Funds’ fee and expense data and the comparable fee and expense data significant in view of their findings and conclusions respecting the other factors considered, including the quality of services provided by the Advisor to each Fund.
The Trustees also noted their consideration of information respecting the advisory fees charged by the Advisor to other investment management clients, including the Advisor’s sub-advised mutual funds and other institutional clients, together with information about fees charged by other advisors to different clients, analysis of the differences between the requirements of institutional clients and mutual funds, analysis of the differences between the requirements of a sub-advised mutual fund and a fund as to which the investment advisor is the primary advisor and sponsor, the differences between the mutual funds as to which the Advisor is a sub-advisor and the Funds, and the consequently different investment management services provided to the different categories of clients and the differing contexts in which these arrangements are entered into. The Trustees confirmed their previous observations that the differences between the fees charged by the Advisor to different types of clients did not appear exceptional, and that the fee rates charged by the Advisor or by other investment advisors to different types of clients had limited relevance to the evaluation of the fee rates charged by the Advisor to the Funds.
 Costs and Profitability of Advisor.  In reviewing the profitability of the Advisor’s services to the Funds under the Agreement, the Trustees considered an analysis of the Advisor’s costs and the estimated profitability to the Advisor of its services, together with figures for the profitability of a selection of other, publicly listed investment management firms. The Trustees noted that the comparability of the Advisor’s estimated profitability to the publicly disclosed information about the profitability of other investment management firms is limited due to the nature of those firms and other factors. The Trustees considered information from the Advisor respecting investment of its profits to maintain staffing levels, and noted that the Advisor’s profits are an important element in the compensation of employees who work for the benefit of the Funds and their shareholders. The Trustees considered information from the Advisor respecting the use of profits to enhance staff competencies through training and other measures, hire personnel to expand and develop the scope of senior management expertise, pay competitive levels of compensation, and add to the Advisor’s electronic and information technology systems to maintain or improve service levels. The Trustees also considered the contribution of the Advisor’s cost management to its profitability, and the relationship of the Advisor’s financial resources and profitability in previous years to its ability to attract necessary personnel, invest in systems and other assets required for its service to the Funds, and maintain or improve service levels for the Funds notwithstanding fluctuations in revenues and profitability. The information considered did not indicate to the Trustees that the Advisor’s profitability was excessive.
 Potential Economies of Scale. In reviewing the extent to which economies of scale would be realized by each Fund as it grows and whether fee levels reflect potential economies of scale, the Trustees considered the breakpoint structure for advisory fees chargeable to each Fund, comparisons of the fee breakpoint structure for each Fund with breakpoint structures (or the absence of such structures) for other funds in one or more peer groups selected by an independent mutual fund analyst firm, the effects of the breakpoint structure and other expense factors realized by certain funds of the Trust as their asset levels had increased, the Advisor’s undertakings to waive or reimburse certain fees and expenses for certain Funds and share classes, and the Advisor’s expenditures from its own profits and resources to maintain staffing levels, pay competitive levels of compensation, and add to its electronic and information technology systems to maintain or improve service levels. The information provided demonstrated to the Trustees that the Funds’ advisory fee breakpoint structures are reasonable in relation to the structures observed in the other funds in their respective peer groups, and that shareholders may be expected to benefit from any economies of scale, due to the advisory agreement’s breakpoint fee structure for each Fund and other factors.
 Potential Ancillary Benefits. In reviewing potential benefits to the Advisor because of its relationship to the Funds, the Trustees considered explanations from the Advisor respecting its receipt of certain research services from broker dealers, and the benefits to both the Funds and the Advisor of the Advisor’s expansion of its staffing, compliance, and systems capabilities and other resources to serve a broader variety of investment management clients. The Trustees also considered how the establishment of additional investment products by the Advisor may benefit the Funds. No unusual or unfair benefits to the Advisor from its relationship to the Funds were identified by the Trustees.
 Summary of Conclusions. The Trustees concluded that the general nature, extent, and quality of the Advisor’s services performed under the Agreement remained sufficient, the Advisor continued to actively and competently pursue the Funds’ investment objectives and adhere to the Funds’ investment policies, and that the absolute and relative investment performance of the Funds over pertinent holding periods on the whole was satisfactory in the context of the Funds’ objectives and strategies. The Trustees further concluded that the level of the advisory fee charged to each Fund by the Advisor is fair and reasonable in relation to the services provided by the Advisor, in view of the nature, extent, and quality of those services, the investment performance of each such Fund after fees and expenses, the clear disclosure of fees and expenses in the Funds’ prospectuses, comparisons of fees and expenses charged to each Fund to fees and expenses charged to other mutual funds, and the other factors and relevant circumstances considered. The Trustees accordingly determined to renew the Agreement for an additional term of one year for each of the Funds.

Trustees’ Statement to Shareholders (Unaudited)
Readopted September 19, 2023
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.
(This statement is submitted for the general information of the shareholders of Thornburg Investment Trust. For prospective investors in any fund of Thornburg Investment Trust, this communication must be preceded or accompanied by a prospectus. You may obtain a current copy of the Funds’ prospectus, which describes the Funds’ management fees, expenses and risks, by calling 1-800-847-0200 or by visiting www.thornburg.com/download. Please read the prospectus carefully before investing.)

Thornburg Capital Management Fund

Investment Goal and
Fund Overview
Thornburg Capital Management Fund seeks current income consistent with liquidity management and safety of capital.
Under normal circumstances, the Fund invests 100% of its net assets in a portfolio of debt obligations rated by a nationally recognized statistical rating organization at the time of purchase as investment grade or, if unrated, judged to be of comparable quality by the Fund’s investment advisor, and in cash, cash equivalents and cash sweep programs, consistent with the Fund’s investment goal.
Performance drivers and detractors for the reporting period ended September 30, 2023
The Fund generated positive total returns and outpaced its benchmark, the FTSE 1-Month Treasury Bill Local Currency Index (the “Index”), during the 12-month period ended September 30, 2023.
Over the period, the Fund accomplished its goal of "safety of capital" by providing a share price of $10.00 that has not fluctuated since the Fund’s inception.
As of September 30, 2023, the Fund has matched or outperformed its benchmark for all standard time periods since the Fund’s inception and has never suffered a default on any cash equivalent investment.

Notes to Financial Statements
Thornburg Capital Management Fund  |  September 30, 2023
NOTE 1 – ORGANIZATION
Thornburg Capital Management Fund (the “Fund”) is a diversified series of Thornburg Investment Trust (the “Trust”). The Trust is 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 goal is to seek current income consistent with liquidity management and safety of capital. The Fund’s investments subject it to certain risks. As of the date of this report, the principal risks of investing in the Fund include credit risk, cybersecurity and operational risk, foreign investment risk, interest rate risk, liquidity risk, management risk, market and economic risk, and prepayment and extension risk. Please see the Fund’s prospectus for a discussion of those principal risks and other risks associated with an investment in the Fund.
As of September 30, 2023, 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 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 Securities Act of 1933 (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 effect all purchases and sales 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.

Notes to Financial Statements, Continued
Thornburg Capital Management Fund  |  September 30, 2023
Security Valuation: All investments in securities held by the Fund  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 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. Pursuant to current U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) guidance, a transaction involving a when-issued security will not be deemed to involve a senior security as long as the Fund intends to settle the transaction physically and the transaction settles within 35 days. 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 September 30, 2023 are detailed in the Schedule of Investments.
NOTE 3 – SECURITY VALUATION
Valuation of the Fund’s portfolio investment securities is performed by the Advisor, which has been designated by the Trustees of the Trust (the "Trustees") as the Fund’s “valuation designee,” as that term is defined in rule 2a-5 under the 1940 Act. The Advisor performs this valuation function under the supervision of the Trustees and in accordance with policies and procedures that have been adopted by the Advisor and approved by the Trustees (the “Valuation Policy and Procedures”).
In its capacity as the Fund’s valuation designee, the Advisor makes good faith determinations of the fair value of portfolio securities for which market quotations are not readily available, and otherwise complies with and administers the Valuation Policy and Procedures. The Advisor performs those functions in significant measure through its Valuation and Pricing Committee (the “Committee”), though the Advisor may also obtain the assistance of others, including professional pricing service providers selected and approved by the Committee. In accordance with the Valuation Policy and Procedures, the Committee: assesses and manages the material risks associated with determining the fair value of those Fund investments for which market quotations are not readily available; selects and applies methodologies for determining and calculating such fair values; periodically reviews and tests the appropriateness and accuracy of those methodologies; monitors for circumstances that may necessitate the use of fair value; and approves, monitors, and evaluates pricing services engaged to provide evaluated prices for the Fund’s investments. The Committee provides reports on its activities to the Trustees’ Audit Committee, which is responsible for overseeing the Committee’s and the Advisor’s work in discharging the functions under the Valuation Policy and Procedures.
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 calculation valuations, but also may utilize prices obtained from pricing service providers or other methods selected by the Committee. Because fair values calculated by the Committee are estimates, the calculation of a fair 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 from trade date and other short-term investments are valued using the amortized cost method unless the Committee determines such method does not represent fair value. 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 the 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 Committee.
In any case when a pricing service provider fails to provide a valuation for a debt obligation held by the Fund, the Committee may calculate a fair value for the obligation using alternative methods selected and approved by the Committee. Additionally, in cases when the Committee 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 may calculate a fair value for the obligation using an alternative method selected and approved by the Committee.

Notes to Financial Statements, Continued
Thornburg Capital Management Fund  |  September 30, 2023
If the market quotation for an investment is expressed in a foreign currency, that market quotation will be converted to U.S. dollars using a foreign exchange quotation from a third-party service at the time of valuation. Foreign investments held by the Fund may be traded on days and at times when the Fund is not open for business. Consequently, the value of the Fund’s investments may be significantly affected on days when shareholders cannot purchase or sell Fund’s shares.
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.
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 are typically calculated by pricing service providers approved by the 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 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 the 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 September 30, 2023:

NOTE 4 – INVESTMENT MANAGEMENT FEE AND OTHER TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES
Pursuant to an investment advisory agreement with the Trust, 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 year ended September 30, 2023, 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 of 1986 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 fiscal year ended September 30, 2023, 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.
At September 30, 2023, information on the tax components of capital was as follows:
Cost of investments for tax purposes $   1,588,014,455
Net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on investments (tax basis) $                -
There is no unrealized appreciation (depreciation) in the Fund at September 30, 2023 due to all securities with less than 60 days to maturity being valued by the amortized cost method.
At September 30, 2023, the Fund had $38,312 of undistributed tax basis ordinary investment income and no undistributed tax basis capital gains.
The tax character of distributions paid during the years ended September 30, 2023, and September 30, 2022, were as follows:
  2023 2022
Distributions from:

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
Thornburg Capital Management Fund
To the Board of Trustees of Thornburg Investment Trust and Shareholders of Thornburg Capital Management Fund
Opinion on the Financial Statements 
We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities, including the schedule of investments, of Thornburg Capital Management Fund (one of the funds constituting Thornburg Investment Trust, referred to hereafter as the "Fund") as of September 30, 2023, the related statement of operations for the year ended September 30, 2023, the statement of changes in net assets for each of the two years in the period ended September 30, 2023, including the related notes, and the financial highlights for each of the five years in the period ended September 30, 2023 (collectively referred to as the “financial statements”). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Fund as of September 30, 2023, the results of its operations for the year then ended, the changes in its net assets for each of the two years in the period ended September 30, 2023 and the financial highlights for each of the five years in the period ended September 30, 2023 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
Basis for Opinion
These financial statements are the responsibility of the Fund’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Fund’s financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB) and are required to be independent with respect to the Fund in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our audits of these financial statements in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud.
Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of September 30, 2023 by correspondence with the custodian, transfer agent and brokers; when replies were not received from brokers, we performed other auditing procedures. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

Expense Example
Thornburg Capital Management Fund  |  September 30, 2023 (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 April 1, 2023, and held until September 30, 2023.

CLASS I SHARES
Actual $1,000.00 $1,027.10 $0.05
Hypothetical* $1,000.00 $1,025.02 $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 183/365 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 Actual section 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 Actual section 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 Hypothetical section 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 Hypothetical section 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 mutual funds. In addition, if these transactional costs were included, your costs would have been higher.

STATEMENT RESPECTING RENEWAL OF INVESTMENT ADVISORY AGREEMENT
The Advisor provides investment management services to the Fund pursuant to an investment advisory agreement (the “Agreement”). The Trustees consider the renewal of the Agreement annually, and most recently determined to renew the Agreement on September 19, 2023.
The information below summarizes certain factors considered by the Trustees in connection with the determination to renew the Agreement. In determining to renew the Agreement, the Trustees considered a wide range of information and did not identify any single factor as controlling, and this summary does not describe all of the factors and other matters considered by the Trustees in making their determination.
Nature, Extent, and Quality of Services. The Trustees considered in their evaluation of the Agreement the written and oral reports provided to the Trustees and their standing committees throughout the year on a wide variety of topics by personnel from the Advisor’s portfolio management, fund administration, trading, operations, marketing, distribution, and compliance staffs. The Trustees also considered in this evaluation the presentations and explanations made by representatives of the Advisor in meeting sessions scheduled for consideration of the renewal of the Agreement. The Trustees further noted in their evaluation the consideration they had given to a number of topics in previous years, reports from their standing committees, and advice received from counsel.
Information noted by the Trustees as having been considered in relation to the nature, extent, and quality of services provided by the Advisor under the Agreement and contributing (together with other information considered) to their conclusions respecting the nature, extent, and quality of the services rendered to the Fund by the Advisor included: (1) reports from the Fund’s portfolio managers throughout the year demonstrating that the Fund was managed in conformity with stated strategies and objectives, and conformed to investment restrictions and limitations; (2) reports demonstrating that management of the Fund remained faithful and competent, and demonstrating sufficient skill by portfolio managers in executing the Fund’s strategies in varying environments, managers’ cognizance of, and strategies to pursue, the Fund’s objective and address pertinent market and economic trends and conditions, the evaluation and selection of individual investments, the structuring and composition of the Fund’s portfolio, management of the Fund’s liquidity requirements, and other factors; (3) the Fund’s achievement of its investment objective over different periods of time; (4) presentations by, and interactions with, members of the Advisor’s fund administration, trading, operations, marketing, and compliance staffs; (5) reports from standing committees of the Trustees on their respective proceedings throughout the year, including particularly interactions with the Advisor’s personnel; (6) the sufficiency of the resources the Advisor devotes to the services it provides to the Fund, including the expertise of its personnel and staffing levels and its enhancements to the electronic systems it utilizes in providing these services, and the Advisor’s own financial management and sufficiency of its resources; (7) steps taken by the Advisor to improve its investment management process, including the hiring of additional investment personnel to support the investment management function, plans to add other investment personnel in the future, efforts to increase the diversity of backgrounds and experiences among its investment personnel, and the increased integration of risk management procedures and consideration of environmental, social, and governance factors into the investment process; (8) the measures employed by the Advisor’s personnel to achieve efficient trade execution for the Fund; and (9) steps taken to facilitate continued collaboration among the Advisor’s personnel. As in past years, the Trustees noted their assessments of the Advisor’s personnel developed in formal and informal meetings throughout the year, measures to expand and improve the depth and experience of the Advisor’s staff, and

Other Information, Continued

the Advisor’s collaborative approach to investment management, continued commitment to observance of compliance and regulatory requirements in managing investments by the Fund, responsiveness to the Trustees, and other factors and circumstances.
Based upon these and other considerations, the Trustees concluded that the Advisor’s management of the Fund’s investments continued to conform to the Fund’s stated objective and policies, and that the nature, extent, and quality of the services provided to the Fund by the Advisor remained sufficient.
Investment Performance.  Dividend distribution and other information received by the Trustees respecting the investments by the Fund was viewed as consistent with expectations respecting the Fund’s investment performance in view of current market conditions.
Comparisons of Fee and Expense Levels. The Trustees did not consider fee levels because the Advisor does not charge fees to the Fund.  Expense levels were consistent with expectations.
Costs and Profitability of Advisor. The Trustees did not consider the profitability of the Advisor in reviewing the Agreement, because the Advisor does not charge fees to the Fund under that Agreement.
Potential Economies of Scale. The Trustees did not consider any economies of scale potentially available to the Fund in reviewing the Agreement, because the Advisor does not receive a fee from the Fund under that Agreement.
Potential Ancillary Benefits. The Trustees did not identify any collateral benefits to the Advisor because of its relationship to the Fund.
Summary of Conclusions. The Trustees concluded that the general nature, extent, and quality of the Advisor’s services performed under the Agreement remained sufficient, the Advisor continued to actively and competently pursue the Fund’s investment objective and adhere to the Fund’s investment policies, and that the Fund’s investment performance remained satisfactory in the context of its objective and strategies. The Trustees further concluded that the level of the Fund’s expenses was reasonable. The Trustees accordingly determined to renew the Agreement for an additional term of one year for the Fund.

Trustees’ Statement to Shareholders (Unaudited)
Readopted September 19, 2023
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.
(This statement is submitted for the general information of the shareholders of Thornburg Investment Trust. For prospective investors in any fund of Thornburg Investment Trust, this communication must be preceded or accompanied by a prospectus. You may obtain a current copy of the Funds’ prospectus, which describes the Funds’ management fees, expenses and risks, by calling 1-800-847-0200. Please read the prospectus carefully before investing.)

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.

Thornburg Municipal Managed Account Fund

Investment Goal and
Fund Overview
The primary goal of Municipal Managed Account Fund is to seek a high level of current income exempt from federal individual income tax.
The Fund is actively managed and invests principally in municipal obligations of any credit quality issued by states, local governments and territories. The Fund can invest up to 80% in lower-rated “junk” bonds. It analyzes credit and selects securities based on interest rate outlooks, bond markets, debt supply, and yield differences. The Fund buys municipal obligations of any maturity, which affects duration and sensitivity to interest rates. For defensive purposes it may reduce the effective duration and/or the maturity of the portfolio. There’s no limit on a security’s duration or maturity the Fund may purchase. The Fund aims to meet its objective through credit analysis and security selection and is non-diversified.
At least 80% of assets are in municipal bonds exempt from federal income tax and no more than 20% will be in taxable municipal bonds, except temporarily for defensive purposes. Taxable investments mean some income would be taxed. Gains not offset by losses are also taxed.
Performance drivers and detractors for the reporting period ended September 30, 2023
» The Fund’s Class I shares returned -1.74% versus the ICE BofA U.S. Municipal Master Index’s (the “Index”) return of -4.01% from the Fund’s inception on May 15, 2023, until September 30, 2023.
» The Fund’s outperformance relative to the Index was driven by the high cash balance held during its initial investment period and came at a time of challenging performance for the municipal bond market broadly.

Glossary
September 30, 2023 (Unaudited)
The ICE BofA U.S. Municipal Master Index tracks the performance of the investment-grade U.S. tax-exempt bond market. Qualifying bonds must have at least one year remaining term to maturity, a fixed coupon schedule, and an investment grade rating (based on average of Moody’s, S&P, and Fitch).
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.
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.

Notes to Financial Statements
September 30, 2023
NOTE 1 – ORGANIZATION
Thornburg Municipal Managed Account Fund (the “Fund”) commenced operations on May 15, 2023 and is a non-diversified series of Thornburg Investment Trust (the “Trust”). The Trust is 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"). As of September 30, 2023, 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 goal is to seek a high level of current income exempt from federal individual income tax. The Fund’s investments subject it to certain risks. As of the date of this report, the principal risks of investing in the Fund include credit risk, cybersecurity and operational risk, high yield risk, interest rate risk, liquidity risk, management risk, market and economic risk, non-diversification risk, redemption risk, and tax risk. Please see the Fund’s prospectus for a discussion of those principal risks and other risks associated with an investment in the Fund.
As of September 30, 2023, 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 transfer agent fees, government registration fees, printing and postage costs, and legal expenses.
Shares of the Fund are available for purchase and redemption exclusively by or on behalf of separately managed account clients where Thornburg Investment Management, Inc., the Fund’s investment advisor (the “Advisor”), has an agreement with the managed account program’s sponsor, or directly with the client, to provide advisory services to the managed account or to the managed account program’s sponsor for its use in managing such account. 
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.
Security Valuation: All investments in securities held by the Fund is 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 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

September 30, 2023
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. Pursuant to current U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) guidance, a transaction involving a when-issued security will not be deemed to involve a senior security as long as the Fund intends to settle the transaction physically and the transaction settles within 35 days. 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 September 30, 2023 are detailed in the Schedule of Investments.
Organizational and Offering Costs: The Fund incurs certain costs related to launch and operation. Organizational costs are charged to expense as incurred. Offering costs are amortized to expense daily over the span of one year from commencement of operations. These amounts are included in Prepaid expenses and other assets in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities and Other expenses in the Statement of Operations.
NOTE 3 – SECURITY VALUATION
Valuation of the Fund’s portfolio investment securities is performed by the Advisor, which has been designated by the Trustees of the Trust (the "Trustees") as the Fund’s “valuation designee,” as that term is defined in rule 2a-5 under the 1940 Act. The Advisor performs this valuation function under the supervision of the Trustees and in accordance with policies and procedures that have been adopted by the Advisor and approved by the Trustees (the “Valuation Policy and Procedures”).
In its capacity as the Fund’s valuation designee, the Advisor makes good faith determinations of the fair value of portfolio securities for which market quotations are not readily available, and otherwise complies with and administers the Valuation Policy and Procedures. The Advisor performs those functions in significant measure through its Valuation and Pricing Committee (the “Committee”), though the Advisor may also obtain the assistance of others, including professional pricing service providers selected and approved by the Committee. In accordance with the Valuation Policy and Procedures, the Committee: assesses and manages the material risks associated with determining the fair value of those Fund investments for which market quotations are not readily available; selects and applies methodologies for determining and calculating such fair values; periodically reviews and tests the appropriateness and accuracy of those methodologies; monitors for circumstances that may necessitate the use of fair value; and approves, monitors, and evaluates pricing services engaged to provide evaluated prices for the Fund’s investments. The Committee provides reports on its activities to the Trustees’ Audit Committee, which is responsible for overseeing the Committee’s and the Advisor’s work in discharging the functions under the Valuation Policy and Procedures.
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 calculation valuations, but also may utilize prices obtained from pricing service providers or other methods selected by the Committee. Because fair values calculated by the Committee are estimates, the calculation of a fair 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: 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 Committee.
In any case when a pricing service provider fails to provide a valuation for a debt obligation held by the Fund, the Committee may calculate a fair value for the obligation using alternative methods selected and approved by the Committee. Additionally, in cases when the Committee 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 may calculate a fair value for the obligation using an alternative method selected and approved by the 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.
Various inputs are used in calculating valuations for the Fund’s investments. These inputs are generally summarized according to the three-level hierarchy below:
Annual Report  |  13


Notes to Financial Statements, Continued
September 30, 2023
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 are typically calculated by pricing service providers approved by the 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 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 the 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 September 30, 2023:
  TOTAL LEVEL 1 LEVEL 2 LEVEL 3

Total Assets $ 5,213,991 $ $ 5,213,991 $
NOTE 4 – INVESTMENT MANAGEMENT FEE AND OTHER TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES
Pursuant to an investment advisory agreement with the Trust, 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.
Thornburg and Thornburg Securities Corporation ("TSC") have contractually agreed, irrevocably during the existence of the Fund, to waive, pay or reimburse all expenses of the Fund, except for taxes, interest expense, acquired fund fees and expenses, brokerage commissions, borrowing costs, expenses relating to short sales, and unusual expenses such as contingency fees or litigation costs.
For the period ended September 30, 2023, the Advisor contractually reimbursed certain expenses and distribution fees of $73,635 for Class I shares.
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.
As of September 30, 2023, the percentage of direct investments in the Fund held by the Trustees, officers of the Trust, and the Advisor is approximately 92.84%.
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  period ended at September 30, 2023, the Rule 17a-7 transactions were $1,145,903 in purchases and $1,136,368 in sales generating realized losses of $10,069.

NOTE 5 – TAXES
Federal Income Taxes: It is the policy of the Trust to comply with the provisions of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 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 period ended September 30, 2023, 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 Statements of Assets and Liabilities.
At September 30, 2023, information on the tax components of capital was as follows:
Cost of investments for tax purposes $   5,379,171
Gross unrealized appreciation on a tax basis           61
Gross unrealized depreciation on a tax basis     (165,241)
Net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on investments (tax basis) $     (165,180)
At September 30, 2023, the Fund had cumulative tax basis of short-term capital losses of $10,731, 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.
The Fund had $589 distributions paid from tax basis ordinary income and $80,067 distributions paid from tax basis tax exempt income during the period ended September 30, 2023.
NOTE 6 – SHARES OF BENEFICIAL INTEREST

Thornburg Municipal Managed Account Fund
To the Board of Trustees of Thornburg Investment Trust and Shareholders of Thornburg Municipal Managed Account Fund
Opinion on the Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities, including the schedule of investments, of Thornburg Municipal Managed Account Fund (one of the funds constituting Thornburg Investment Trust, referred to hereafter as the "Fund") as of September 30, 2023, and the related statements of operations and changes in net assets, including the related notes, and the financial highlights for the period May 15, 2023 (commencement of operations) through September 30, 2023 (collectively referred to as the “financial statements”). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Fund as of September 30, 2023, and the results of its operations, changes in its net assets and the financial highlights for the period May 15, 2023 (commencement of operations) through September 30, 2023 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
Basis for Opinion
These financial statements are the responsibility of the Fund’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Fund’s financial statements based on our audit. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB) and are required to be independent with respect to the Fund in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our audit of these financial statements in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud.

Expense Example
Thornburg Municipal Managed Account Fund  |  September 30, 2023 (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 May 16, 2023, and held until September 30, 2023.

CLASS I SHARES
Actual $1,000.00 $ 982.63 $0.00
Hypothetical* $1,000.00 $1,018.90 $0.00
    
* Hypothetical assumes a rate of return of 5% per year before expenses.
Expenses are equal to the annualized expense ratio for each class (I: 0.00%) multiplied by the average account value over the period, multiplied by 138/365 to reflect the accrual period from 5/16/2023 to 9/30/2023.
 
ACTUAL EXPENSES
For each class of shares, the Actual section 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 Actual section 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 Hypothetical section 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 Hypothetical section 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 mutual funds. In addition, if these transactional costs were included, your costs would have been higher.

STATEMENT RESPECTING RENEWAL OF INVESTMENT ADVISORY AGREEMENT
The Advisor provides investment management services to the Thornburg Municipal Managed Account Fund pursuant to an investment advisory agreement (the “Agreement”). The Trustees consider the renewal of the Agreement annually, and most recently determined to renew the Agreement on September 19, 2023.
The information below summarizes certain factors considered by the Trustees in connection with the determination to renew the Agreement. In determining to renew the Agreement, the Trustees considered a wide range of information and did not identify any single factor as controlling, and this summary does not describe all of the factors and other matters considered by the Trustees in making their determination.
Nature, Extent, and Quality of Services. The Trustees considered in their evaluation of the Agreement the written and oral reports provided to the Trustees and their standing committees throughout the year on a wide variety of topics by personnel from the Advisor’s portfolio management, fund administration, trading, operations, marketing, distribution, and compliance staffs. The Trustees also considered in this evaluation the presentations and explanations made by representatives of the Advisor in meeting sessions scheduled for consideration of the renewal of the Agreement. The Trustees further noted in their evaluation the consideration they had given to a number of topics in previous years, reports from their standing committees, and advice received from counsel. The Trustees observed in considering this information that the Fund has only been operating for a few months.
Information noted by the Trustees as having been considered in relation to the nature, extent, and quality of services provided by the Advisor under the Agreement and contributing (together with other information considered) to their conclusions respecting the nature, extent, and quality of the services rendered to the Fund by the Advisor included: (1) reports from the Fund’s portfolio managers since the Fund’s inception demonstrating that the Fund was managed in conformity with stated strategies and objectives, and conformed to investment restrictions and limitations; (2) reports demonstrating that management of the Fund remained faithful and competent, and demonstrating sufficient skill by portfolio managers in executing the Fund’s strategies, managers’ cognizance of, and strategies to pursue, the Fund’s objective and address pertinent market and economic trends and conditions, the structuring and composition of the Fund’s portfolio, and other factors; (3) presentations by, and interactions with, members of the Advisor’s fund administration, trading, operations, marketing, and compliance staffs; (4) reports from standing committees of the Trustees on their respective proceedings throughout the year, including particularly interactions with the Advisor’s personnel; (5) the sufficiency of the resources the Advisor devotes to the services it provides to the Fund, including the expertise of its personnel and staffing levels and its enhancements to the electronic systems it utilizes

Other Information, Continued
September 30, 2023 (Unaudited)
in providing these services, and the Advisor’s own financial management and sufficiency of its resources; (6) steps taken by the Advisor to improve its investment management process, including the hiring of additional investment personnel to support the investment management function, plans to add other investment personnel in the future, efforts to increase the diversity of backgrounds and experiences among its investment personnel, and the increased integration of risk management procedures and consideration of environmental, social, and governance factors into the investment process; and (7) steps taken to facilitate continued collaboration among the Advisor’s personnel. As in past years, the Trustees noted their assessments of the Advisor’s personnel developed in formal and informal meetings throughout the year, measures to expand and improve the depth and experience of the Advisor’s staff, and the Advisor’s collaborative approach to investment management, continued commitment to observance of compliance and regulatory requirements in managing investments by the Fund, responsiveness to the Trustees, and other factors and circumstances.
Based upon these and other considerations, the Trustees concluded that the Advisor’s management of the Fund’s investments continued to conform to the Fund’s stated objective and policies, and that the nature, extent, and quality of the services provided to the Fund by the Advisor remained sufficient.
 Investment Performance.  The Trustees did not consider information about the Fund’s investment performance because the Fund had only been operating for a few months.
Comparisons of Fee and Expense Levels. The Trustees did not consider fee levels because the Advisor does not charge fees to the Fund.  Expense levels were also not considered because the Advisor has agreed to waive nearly all operating expenses for the Fund.
Costs and Profitability of Advisor. The Trustees did not consider the profitability of the Advisor in reviewing the Agreement, because the Advisor does not charge fees to the Fund under that Agreement.
Potential Economies of Scale. The Trustees did not consider any economies of scale potentially available to the Fund in reviewing the Agreement, because the Advisor does not receive a fee from the Fund under that Agreement.
Potential Ancillary Benefits. The Trustees did not identify any collateral benefits to the Advisor because of its relationship to the Fund.
Summary of Conclusions. The Trustees concluded that the general nature, extent, and quality of the Advisor’s services performed under the Agreement remained sufficient, the Advisor continued to actively and competently pursue the Fund’s investment objective and adhere to the Fund’s investment policies, and that the Fund’s investment performance remained satisfactory in the context of its objective and strategies. The Trustees further concluded that the level of the Fund’s expenses was reasonable. The Trustees accordingly determined to renew the Agreement for an additional term of one year for the Fund.

Trustees’ Statement to Shareholders (Unaudited)
Readopted September 19, 2023
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.
(This statement is submitted for the general information of the shareholders of Thornburg Investment Trust. For prospective investors in any fund of Thornburg Investment Trust, this communication must be preceded or accompanied by a prospectus. You may obtain a current copy of the Funds’ prospectus, which describes the Funds’ management fees, expenses and risks, by calling 1-800-847-0200. Please read the prospectus carefully before investing.)

Item 2. Code of Ethics

Thornburg Investment Trust (the “Trust”) has adopted a code of ethics described in Item 2 of Form N-CSR. A copy of the code of ethics is filed as an exhibit to this Form N-CSR.

Item 3. Audit Committee Financial Expert

The Trustees of the Trust have determined that four members of the Trust’s audit committee, Sally Corning, James Weyhrauch, Susan Dubin, and Patrick Talamantes, are each audit committee financial experts as defined in Item 3 of Form N-CSR. Ms. Corning, Mr. Weyhrauch, Ms. Dubin, and Mr. Talamantes are each independent for purposes of Item 3 of Form N-CSR.

The definition of “audit committee financial expert,” together with comments on the definition, is set forth in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s website (www.sec.gov).
