Driehaus Emerging Markets Growth Fund
Performance Overview (unaudited)

The performance summarized below is historical and does not represent future results. Investment returns and principal value vary, and you may have a gain or loss when you sell shares. Performance data presented measures the change in the value of an investment in the Fund, assuming reinvestment of all dividends and capital gains. Average annual total return reflects annualized change. The table does not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on Fund distributions or the redemption of Fund shares. The graph compares the results of a $10,000 investment (minimum investment) in the Fund over the last 10 fiscal year periods, with all dividends and capital gains reinvested, with the indicated indices (and dividends reinvested) for the same period.
The performance data shown represents past performance and does not guarantee future results. Current performance may be lower or higher than the performance data quoted. Principal value and investment returns will fluctuate so that investors' shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. Performance data represents the rate that an investor would have earned (or lost), during the given periods, on an investment in the Fund (assuming reinvestment of all dividends and distributions). Average annual total return reflects annualized change. Since Fund performance is subject to change after the period-end, please call (800) 560-6111 or visit www.driehaus.com/performance for more current performance information.

Driehaus Emerging Markets Opportunities Fund
Performance Overview (unaudited)

The performance summarized below is historical and does not represent future results. Investment returns and principal value vary, and you may have a gain or loss when you sell shares. Performance data presented measures the change in the value of an investment in the Fund, assuming reinvestment of all dividends and capital gains. Average annual total return reflects annualized change. The table does not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on Fund distributions or the redemption of Fund shares. The graph compares the results of a $10,000 investment (minimum investment) in the Fund since April 10, 2017 (the date of the fund's inception),with all dividends and capital gains reinvested, with the indicated indices (and dividends reinvested) for the same period.
The performance data shown represents past performance and does not guarantee future results. Current performance may be lower or higher than the performance data quoted. Principal value and investment returns will fluctuate so that investors' shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. Performance data represents the rate that an investor would have earned (or lost), during the given periods, on an investment in the Fund (assuming reinvestment of all dividends and distributions). Average annual total return reflects annualized change. Since Fund performance is subject to change after the period-end, please call (800) 560-6111 or visit www.driehaus.com/performance for more current performance information. The gross expense ratio is 1.32% as of the most recent prospectus dated April 30, 2022, as supplemented June 3, 2022.

Driehaus International Small Cap Growth Fund
Performance Overview (unaudited)

The performance summarized below is historical and does not represent future results. Investment returns and principal value vary, and you may have a gain or loss when you sell shares. Performance data presented measures the change in the value of an investment in the Fund, assuming reinvestment of all dividends and capital gains. Average annual total return reflects annualized change. The table does not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on Fund distributions or the redemption of Fund shares. The graph compares the results of a $10,000 investment (minimum investment) in the Fund over the last 10 fiscal year periods, with all dividends and capital gains reinvested, with the indicated index (and dividends reinvested) for the same period.
The performance data shown represents past performance and does not guarantee future results. Current performance may be lower or higher than the performance data quoted. Principal value and investment returns will fluctuate so that investors' shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. Performance data represents the rate that an investor would have earned (or lost), during the given periods, on an investment in the Fund (assuming reinvestment of all dividends and distributions). Average annual total return reflects annualized change. Since Fund performance is subject to change after the period-end, please call (800) 560-6111 or visit www.driehaus.com/performance for more current performance information. The gross expense ratio is 1.15% as of the most recent prospectus dated April 30, 2022, as supplemented June 3, 2022.

Driehaus Micro Cap Growth Fund
Performance Overview (unaudited)

The performance summarized below is historical and does not represent future results. Investment returns and principal value vary, and you may have a gain or loss when you sell shares. Performance data presented measures the change in the value of an investment in the Fund, assuming reinvestment of all dividends and capital gains. Average annual total return reflects annualized change. The table does not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on Fund distributions or the redemption of Fund shares. The graph compares the results of a $10,000 investment (minimum investment) in the Fund over the last 10 fiscal year periods (which includes performance of the Predecessor Limited Partnership),with all dividends and capital gains reinvested, with the indicated index (and dividends reinvested) for the same period.
The performance data shown represents past performance and does not guarantee future results. Current performance may be lower or higher than the performance data quoted. Principal value and investment returns will fluctuate so that investors' shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. Performance data represents the rate that an investor would have earned (or lost), during the given periods, on an investment in the Fund (assuming reinvestment of all dividends and distributions). Average annual total return reflects annualized change. Since Fund performance is subject to change after the period-end, please call (800) 560-6111 or visit www.driehaus.com/performance for more current performance information.

Driehaus Micro Cap Growth Fund
Performance Overview (unaudited) — (Continued)


1 The Driehaus Micro Cap Growth Fund (the “Fund”) performance shown above includes the performance of the Driehaus Micro Cap Fund, L.P. (the “Predecessor Limited Partnership”), one of the Fund’s predecessors, for the periods before the Fund’s registration statement became effective. The Predecessor Limited Partnership, which was established on July 1, 1996, was managed with substantially the same investment objective, policies and philosophies as are followed by the Fund. The Fund succeeded to the Predecessor Limited Partnership’s assets together with the assets of the Driehaus Institutional Micro Cap Fund, L.P. on November 18, 2013. The Predecessor Limited Partnership was not registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (“1940 Act”), and thus was not subject to certain investment and operational restrictions that are imposed by the 1940 Act. If the Predecessor Limited Partnership had been registered under the 1940 Act, its performance may have been adversely affected. The Predecessor Limited Partnership’s performance has been restated to reflect estimated expenses of the Fund. The returns for periods prior to November 18, 2016, reflect fee waivers and/or reimbursements without which performance would have been lower.
2 The Russell Microcap® Growth Index measures the performance of the microcap growth segment of the U.S. equity market. It includes those Russell Microcap companies that are considered more growth oriented relative to the overall market as defined by FTSE Russell's leading style methodology. The Russell Microcap® Growth Index is constructed to provide a comprehensive and unbiased barometer for the microcap growth segment of the market. Data is calculated with net dividend reinvestment.

Driehaus Small Cap Growth Fund
Performance Overview (unaudited)

The performance summarized below is historical and does not represent future results. Investment returns and principal value vary, and you may have a gain or loss when you sell shares. Performance data presented measures the change in the value of an investment in the Fund, assuming reinvestment of all dividends and capital gains. Average annual total return reflects annualized change. The table does not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on Fund distributions or the redemption of Fund shares. The graph compares the results of a $10,000 investment (minimum investment) in the Fund over the last 10 fiscal year periods (which includes performance of the Predecessor Partnership),with all dividends and capital gains reinvested, with the indicated index (and dividends reinvested) for the same period.
The performance data shown represents past performance and does not guarantee future results. Current performance may be lower or higher than the performance data quoted. Principal value and investment returns will fluctuate so that investors' shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. Performance data represents the rate that an investor would have earned (or lost), during the given periods, on an investment in the Fund (assuming reinvestment of all dividends and distributions). Average annual total return reflects annualized change. Since Fund performance is subject to change after the period-end, please call (800) 560-6111 or visit www.driehaus.com/performance for more current performance information. The gross expense ratios for the Investor Class and Institutional Class are 0.99% and 0.73%, respectively, as of the most recent prospectus dated April 30, 2022, as supplemented June 3, 2022.

Driehaus Small Cap Growth Fund
Performance Overview (unaudited) — (Continued)


1 The Driehaus Small Cap Growth Fund (“the Fund”) performance shown above includes the performance of the Driehaus Institutional Small Cap, L.P. (the “Predecessor Partnership”), one of the Fund’s predecessors, for the periods before the Fund’s registration statement became effective. The Predecessor Partnership was managed by the same investment team with substantially the same investment objective, policies and philosophies as are followed by the Fund. The Fund succeeded to the Predecessor Partnership’s assets together with the assets of the Driehaus Institutional Small Cap Recovery Fund, L.P., Driehaus Small Cap Recovery Fund, L.P. and Driehaus Small Cap Investors, L.P. (together, the “Limited Partnerships”) on August 21, 2017. The investment portfolios of the Limited Partnerships were identical and therefore had similar performance. The performance of the Predecessor Partnership is shown here because it has been in operation the longest. The Predecessor Partnership was not registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (“1940 Act”), and thus was not subject to certain investment and operational restrictions that are imposed by the 1940 Act. If the Predecessor Partnership had been registered under the 1940 Act, its performance may have been adversely affected. The Predecessor Partnership’s performance has not been restated to reflect estimated expenses applicable to each class of shares of the Fund. The returns reflect fee waivers and/or reimbursements without which performance would have been lower.
2 The Russell 2000® Growth Index measures the performance of the small cap growth segment of the US Equity universe. It includes those Russell 2000® companies with higher price-value ratio and higher forecasted growth values. The Russell 2000® Index is constructed to provide a comprehensive and unbiased barometer for the small cap growth segment of the market. Data is calculated with net dividend reinvestment.

Driehaus Small/Mid Cap Growth Fund
Performance Overview (unaudited)

The performance summarized below is historical and does not represent future results. Investment returns and principal value vary, and you may have a gain or loss when you sell shares. Performance data presented measures the change in the value of an investment in the Fund, assuming reinvestment of all dividends and capital gains. Average annual total return reflects annualized change. The table does not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on Fund distributions or the redemption of Fund shares. The graph compares the results of a $10,000 investment (minimum investment) in the Fund since May 1, 2020 (the date of the fund's inception),with all dividends and capital gains reinvested, with the indicated index (and dividends reinvested) for the same period.
The performance data shown represents past performance and does not guarantee future results. Current performance may be lower or higher than the performance data quoted. Principal value and investment returns will fluctuate so that investors' shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. Performance data represents the rate that an investor would have earned (or lost), during the given periods, on an investment in the Fund (assuming reinvestment of all dividends and distributions). Average annual total return reflects annualized change. Since Fund performance is subject to change after the period-end, please call (800) 560-6111 or visit www.driehaus.com/performance for more current performance information.

Notes to Financial Statements (unaudited)

A. ORGANIZATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Organization
The Driehaus Mutual Funds (the “Trust”) is an open-end registered management investment company under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the "1940 Act"), as amended, organized as a Delaware statutory trust, with eight separate series currently in operation. The Trust was organized under an Agreement and Declaration of Trust dated May 31, 1996, as subsequently amended and restated as of June 6, 2013, and as further amended to date, and may issue an unlimited number of full and fractional units of beneficial interest (shares) without par value. The eight series (each a “Fund”, and collectively, the “Funds”) included in this report are as follows:
Fund Commencement of Operations
Emerging Markets Growth Fund 12/31/97
Emerging Markets Small Cap Growth Fund 08/22/11
Emerging Markets Opportunities Fund 04/10/17
International Small Cap Growth Fund 09/17/07
Micro Cap Growth Fund 11/18/13
Small Cap Growth Fund 08/21/17
Small/Mid Cap Growth Fund 05/01/20
Event Driven Fund 08/26/13
The Emerging Markets Growth Fund and Small Cap Growth Fund each offer two classes of shares, designated as Institutional Class and Investor Class. Each class of shares represents an interest in the same portfolio of investments of the respective Fund and voting privileges with respect to the Fund in general. Each class of shares has exclusive voting rights with respect to any matters involving only that class. The classes of each Fund pay pro rata the costs of management of that Fund’s portfolio, including the investment advisory fee. Each class of a Fund bears the cost of its own transfer agency and shareholder servicing arrangements, and any other class-specific expenses, which will result in differing expenses by class.
The Emerging Markets Growth Fund seeks to maximize capital appreciation by investing primarily in equity securities of emerging markets companies.
The Emerging Markets Small Cap Growth Fund seeks to maximize capital appreciation by investing primarily in equity securities of small capitalization emerging markets companies.
The Emerging Markets Opportunities Fund seeks to maximize total return (the sum of capital appreciation and income) by investing primarily in emerging markets securities.
The International Small Cap Growth Fund seeks to maximize capital appreciation by investing primarily in equity securities of smaller capitalization non-U.S. companies.
The Micro Cap Growth Fund seeks to maximize capital appreciation by investing primarily in equity securities of micro capitalization U.S. companies.
The Small Cap Growth Fund seeks to maximize capital appreciation by investing primarily in equity securities of small capitalization U.S. companies.
The Small/Mid Cap Growth Fund seeks to maximize capital appreciation by investing in primarily in equity securities of small/medium capitalization U.S. companies.
The Event Driven Fund seeks to provide positive returns over full-market cycles by investing primarily in a broad range of asset classes and securities, including derivatives.
The presentation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles ("U.S. GAAP") requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of income and expenses. Actual results may differ from those estimates. The Funds, which are investment companies within the scope of Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") 2013-08, follow accounting and reporting guidance under FASB Accounting Standards Codification Topic 946, Financial Services-Investment Companies.

Securities Valuation
Investments in securities traded on a national securities exchange, including exchange-traded futures and options (including warrants), are valued at the last reported sales or settlement price on the day of valuation and are generally classified as level 1. North and South American exchange-traded securities for which no sale was reported are valued at the most recent closing bid price from the exchange the security is primarily traded on and are generally classified as level 1. All other exchange-traded securities for which no sale was reported are valued at the mean between closing bid and ask prices from the exchange the security is primarily traded on and are also generally classified as level 1. Equity certificates are valued at the last sale price of the underlying security as of the close of the primary exchange. Long-term U.S. fixed income securities are valued at the representative quoted bid price when held long or the representative quoted ask price if sold short or, if such prices are not available, at prices for securities of comparable maturity, quality and type or as determined by an independent pricing service. Long-term non-U.S. fixed income securities are valued at the mean of the representative quoted bid and ask prices when held long or sold short or, if such prices are not available, at prices for securities of comparable maturity, quality and type or as determined by an independent pricing service. The pricing service provider may employ methodologies that utilize actual market transactions, broker-dealer supplied valuations or other techniques. Such techniques generally consider factors such as composite security prices, yields, maturities, call features, credit ratings and developments relating to specific securities, in arriving at valuations. Fixed income securities are generally classified as level 2. The fair value analysis includes an analysis of the value of any unfunded commitments.
Short-term investments with remaining maturities of 60 days or less at the time of purchase are stated at amortized cost, which approximates fair value. If amortized cost does not approximate fair value, short-term securities are reported at fair value. These securities are generally classified as level 2. Swaps, forward foreign currency contracts and other financial derivatives are valued daily, primarily by an independent pricing service using pricing models and are generally classified as level 2. The pricing models use inputs that are observed from actively quoted markets such as issuer details, indices, spreads, interest rates, yield curves, dividends and exchange rates. If valuations are not available from the independent pricing service or values received are deemed not representative of fair value, values will be obtained from a third-party broker-dealer or counterparty. Investments initially valued in currencies other than the U.S. dollar are converted to the U.S. dollar using exchange rates obtained from an independent pricing service. In addition, for the Emerging Markets Growth Fund, Emerging Markets Small Cap Growth, Emerging Markets Opportunities Fund, and International Small Cap Growth Fund, if quotations are not readily available, if the values have been materially affected by events occurring after the closing of a foreign market, or if there has been a movement in the U.S. market that exceeds a certain threshold, assets may be valued at fair value as determined in good faith by or under the direction of the Trust’s Board of Trustees. Events that may materially affect asset values that could cause a fair value determination include, but are not limited to: corporate announcements relating to a specific security; natural and other disasters which may impact an entire market or region; and political and other events which may be global or impact a particular country or region. The frequency with which these procedures are used cannot be predicted and may be utilized to a significant extent. To the extent utilized, securities would be classified as level 2 in the hierarchy described below.
Securities for which market quotations are not readily available are valued at fair value as determined in good faith in accordance with procedures established by or under the direction of the Trust’s Board of Trustees and are generally classified as level 3. Under these procedures, the Funds primarily employ a market-based approach, which may use related or comparable assets or liabilities, recent transactions, market multiples, book values and other relevant information for the investment to determine the fair value of the investment. In addition, level 3 investments in certain early stage companies may be valued based upon initial transaction prices with management conducting ongoing assessments to determine whether new information is available to support a fair value adjustment. The information management may consider in its ongoing assessments may include, but are not limited to, actual or upcoming financing or third-party sale transactions, current or forecasted performance, or regulatory approval status updates. It is possible that estimated values may differ significantly from the values that would have been used had a ready market existed for the investments, and such differences could be material.
Each Fund is subject to fair value accounting standards that define fair value, establish the framework for measuring fair value and provide a three-level hierarchy for fair valuation based upon the inputs to the valuation as of the measurement date. The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are as follows:
Level 1 – quoted prices for active markets for identical securities

Level 2 – significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.)
Level 3 – significant unobservable inputs (including the Fund’s own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments).

As of June 30, 2022, none of the Funds held Level 3 investments, other than as disclosed for Emerging Markets Growth Fund and Event Driven Fund.
Securities Sold Short
The Event Driven Fund is engaged in selling securities short, which obligates it to replace a borrowed security by purchasing it at market price at the time of replacement. The Fund incurs a loss if the price of the security increases between the date of the short sale and the date on which the Fund replaces the borrowed security. The Fund realizes a gain if the price of the security declines between those dates. Gains are limited to the price at which the Fund sold the security short, while losses are potentially unlimited in size.
The Fund is required to establish a margin account with the broker lending the security sold short. While the short sale is outstanding, the broker retains the proceeds of the short sale and the Fund must maintain a deposit with the broker consisting of cash and securities having a value equal to a specified percentage of the value of the securities sold short. Such deposit is included in “Collateral held at custodian for the benefit of brokers” in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. The Fund is obligated to pay any dividends or interest due on securities sold short. Such dividends and interest are recorded as an expense to the Fund in the Statement of Operations.
Federal Income Taxes
No provision is made for Federal income taxes since each Fund has elected to be taxed as a "regulated investment company" under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code (the "Code") and has made and declared all the required distributions to its shareholders in amounts sufficient to relieve each Fund from all or substantially all Federal income and excise taxes under provisions of current Federal tax law.
Each Fund is subject to accounting standards that establish a minimum threshold for recognizing, and a system for measuring, the benefits of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. Taxable years ending 2021, 2020, 2019, and 2018 remain open to Federal and state audit. As of June 30, 2022, management has evaluated the application of these standards to each Fund, and has determined that no provision for income tax is required in each Fund's financial statements for uncertain tax provisions. The Funds recognize interest and penalties, if any, related to unrecognized tax benefits as income tax expense in the Statements of Operations. During the year, the Funds did not incur any interest or penalties. The Funds may be subject to foreign taxes on income, gains on investments or currency repatriation, a portion of which may be recoverable. Foreign taxes are provided for based on the Funds' understanding of the tax rules and regulations that exist in the foreign markets in which they invest. Any deferred foreign capital gains tax is accrued based upon net unrealized gains, and is payable upon sale of such investment.
The amount of dividends and distributions from net investment income and net realized capital gains are determined in accordance with Federal income tax regulations, which may differ from U.S. GAAP.
For the year ended December 31, 2021, reclassifications were recorded to distributable earnings (deficit) and paid-in capital for any permanent tax differences. These reclassifications relate primarily to foreign currency losses, sales of passive foreign investment companies ("PFIC"), net operating losses and foreign capital gain taxes paid. Results of operations and net assets were not affected by these reclassifications.

The differences between book-basis and tax-basis unrealized appreciation are attributable primarily to the tax deferral of losses on wash sales and PFIC mark-to-market.
Foreign Currency Spot Contracts
The Funds enter into foreign currency spot contracts to facilitate transactions in foreign currency denominated securities. These spot contracts are typically open for 2 to 5 days, depending on the settlement terms of the underlying security transaction. On June 30, 2022, the Funds had foreign currency spot contracts outstanding under which they are obligated to exchange currencies at specified future dates. The net unrealized appreciation or depreciation on spot contracts is reflected as receivable for investment securities sold or payable for investment securities purchased in the Statements of Assets and Liabilities.
Foreign Currency Translation
The value of securities, currencies and other assets and liabilities not denominated in U.S. dollars are translated into U.S. dollar values based upon the current rates of exchange on the date of the Funds’ valuations.
Net realized foreign exchange gains or losses which are reported by the Funds result from currency gains and losses on transaction hedges arising from changes in exchange rates between the trade and settlement dates on forward contract transactions, and the difference between the amounts accrued for dividends, interest, and foreign taxes and the amounts actually received or paid in U.S. dollars for these items. Net unrealized foreign exchange gains and losses result from changes in the U.S. dollar value of assets and liabilities (other than investments in securities), which are denominated in foreign currencies, as a result of changes in exchange rates.
70


Driehaus Mutual Funds
Notes to Financial Statements (unaudited) — (Continued)

Net realized gain (loss) on foreign currency contracts on portfolio hedges result from the use of forward contracts to hedge portfolio positions denominated or quoted in a particular currency in order to reduce or limit exposure in that currency.
The Funds do not isolate that portion of the results of operations which results from fluctuations in foreign exchange rates on investments. These fluctuations are included with the net realized gain (loss) on investments and the net change in unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on investments.
Indemnifications
Under the Trust’s organizational documents, the officers and Trustees are indemnified against certain liabilities arising out of the performance of their duties to the Trust. In addition, in the normal course of business, the Trust enters into contracts that provide general indemnifications to other parties. A Fund’s maximum exposure under these agreements is unknown as this would involve future claims that may be made against a Fund that have not yet occurred. However, the Funds have not had prior claims or losses pursuant to these contracts and expect the risk of loss to be remote.
Securities Transactions, Income and Commitments
The Trust records security transactions on trade date. Gains and losses realized on sales of securities are determined on a specific identification basis. Dividend income is recognized on the ex-dividend date, and interest income is recognized on an accrual basis. Premiums on securities are amortized over the period remaining until first call date, if any, or if none, the remaining life of the security and discounts are accreted over the remaining life of the security for financial reporting purposes. Withholding taxes on foreign dividends and interest have been provided for in accordance with the Trust’s understanding of the applicable country’s tax rules and rates. Non-cash dividends are recognized as investment income at the fair value of the property received.
Pursuant to the terms of certain of the senior unsecured loan agreements, certain Funds may have unfunded loan commitments, which are callable on demand. Each such Fund will have available with its custodian, cash and/or liquid securities having an aggregate value at least equal to the amount of the unfunded senior loan commitments. At June 30, 2022, the Funds had no unfunded senior loan commitments.
Certain Funds may invest in early-stage companies that may require additional contributions or funding if certain performance milestones are met. Management continuously assesses whether these companies will achieve these performance milestones and considers the impact of these commitments as they become due. Additionally, in connection with certain investments a Fund may provide commitments for future investments. At June 30, 2022, the Funds had no such outstanding commitments.
B. INVESTMENTS IN DERIVATIVES
Certain Funds use derivative instruments such as swaps, futures, options, swaptions, and forward foreign currency contracts in connection with their respective investment strategies. During the period January 1, 2022, through June 30, 2022, the Emerging Markets Opportunities Fund primarily utilized: 1) interest rate swaps to hedge against interest rate fluctuation and enable the parties involved to exchange fixed and floating cash flows; and 2) options to both hedge exposure and provide exposure to certain market segments or specific securities. During the period January 1, 2022, through June 30, 2022, the Micro Cap Growth Fund primarily utilized: 1) warrants to both hedge exposure and provide exposure to certain market segments or specific securities. During the period January 1, 2022, through June 30, 2022, the Event Driven Fund primarily utilized: 1) total return swaps to gain exposure to certain sectors and manage volatility; and 2) options, including warrants, to both hedge exposure and provide exposure to certain market segments or specific securities. Detail regarding each derivative type is included below.
Swap Contracts
The Emerging Markets Opportunities Fund and Event Driven Fund engage in various swap transactions, including forward rate agreements and interest rate, currency, volatility, index, and total return swaps, primarily to manage duration and yield curve risk, or as alternatives to direct investments. Swaps that are centrally cleared are exposed to the creditworthiness of the clearing organizations (and, consequentially, that of their members generally, banks and
71


Driehaus Mutual Funds
Notes to Financial Statements (unaudited) — (Continued)

broker-dealers) involved in the transaction. Centrally cleared swaps are valued daily and unrealized gains or losses are recorded in a variation margin account. The Fund receives from or pays to the clearing organization a specified amount of cash based upon changes in the variation margin account. When a contract is closed, the Fund recognizes a realized gain or loss.
Interest rate swaps are agreements between two parties to exchange cash flows based on a notional principal amount. A Fund may elect to pay a fixed rate and receive a floating rate or receive a fixed rate and pay a floating rate on a notional principal amount. The net interest received or paid on interest rate swap agreements is accrued daily as interest income/expense. Interest rate swaps are marked-to-market daily using fair value estimates provided by an independent pricing service. Changes in value, including accrued interest, are recorded as changes in net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on the Statements of Operations. Unrealized appreciation is reported as an asset and unrealized depreciation is reported as a liability on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities. Gains or losses are realized upon termination of the contracts. The risk of loss under a swap contract may exceed the amount recorded as an asset or a liability.
Total return swap contracts are arrangements to exchange a market or security linked return for a periodic payment, based on a notional principal amount, in order to hedge sector exposure and to manage exposure to specific sectors or industries and/or to gain exposure to specific markets/countries and to specific sectors/industries. To the extent that the total return of the security, index, or other financial measure underlying the transaction exceeds or falls short of the offsetting interest rate obligation, the Fund will receive a payment from or make a payment to the counterparty. Total return swap contracts are marked to market daily based upon quotations from market makers and the change, if any, is recorded as a change in net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on the Statements of Operations. Unrealized appreciation is reported as an asset and unrealized depreciation is reported as a liability on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities. Payments received or made are recorded as realized gains or losses. Gains or losses are realized upon termination of the contracts. Each Fund’s maximum risk of loss from counterparty risk is the fair value of the contract.
Volatility swaps are forward contracts on the future realized volatility of an underlying instrument. Volatility swaps are generally used to speculate on future volatility levels, trade the spread between realized and implied volatility or hedge volatility exposure of other positions. Changes in value are recorded as changes in net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on the Statements of Operations. Unrealized gains are reported as an asset and unrealized losses are reported as a liability on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities. Gains or losses are realized upon termination of the contracts. The risk of loss under a volatility swap contract is dependent upon the volatility of the underlying instrument.
Under the terms of a credit default swap, one party acts as a guarantor receiving a periodic payment that is a fixed percentage applied to a notional amount. In return, the party agrees to purchase the notional amount of the underlying instrument, at par, if a credit event occurs during the term of the contract. A Fund may enter into credit default swaps in which the Fund acts as guarantor (a seller of protection), and may enter into credit default swaps in which the counterparty acts as guarantor (a buyer of protection). Premiums paid to or by the Funds are accrued daily and included in net realized gain (loss) on swap contracts. The contracts are marked-to-market daily using fair value estimates provided by an independent pricing service. Changes in value are recorded as unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on the Statements of Operations. Unrealized gains are reported as an asset and unrealized losses are reported as a liability on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities. Gains or losses are realized upon termination of the contracts. The risk of loss under a swap contract may exceed the amount recorded as an asset or a liability. The notional amount of a swap contract is the reference amount pursuant to which the counterparties make payments. For swaps in which the referenced obligation is an index, in the event of default of any debt security included in the corresponding index, the Fund pays or receives the percentage of the corresponding index that the defaulted security comprises (1) multiplied by the notional value and (2) multiplied by the ratio of one minus the ratio of the market value of the defaulted debt security to its par value.
Risks associated with swap contracts include changes in the returns of underlying instruments and/or interest rates, failure of the counterparties to perform under the contracts’ terms and the possible lack of liquidity with respect to the contracts. For centrally cleared swap contracts, counterparty risk is limited due to the role of the clearinghouse. Credit default swaps can involve greater risks than if an investor had invested in the reference obligation directly since, in addition to general market risks, credit default swaps are subject to counterparty credit risk, leverage risk, hedging risk, correlation risk, and liquidity risk. The Funds disclose swap contracts on a gross basis, with no netting of contracts held with the same counterparty.

Options Contracts
The Funds may use options contracts, which include warrants, to hedge downside risk, produce incremental earnings or protect against market changes in the value of equities or interest rates. The Funds may write covered call and put options on futures, swaps, securities, or currencies the Funds own or in which they may invest. Writing put options tends to increase a Fund’s exposure to the underlying instrument. Writing call options tends to decrease a Fund’s exposure to the underlying instrument. When a Fund writes a call or put option, an amount equal to the premium received is recorded as a liability and subsequently marked to market to reflect the current value of the option written. These liabilities are reflected as written options outstanding in the Schedules of Investments. Premiums received from writing options that expire are treated as realized gains. Premiums received from writing options that are exercised or closed are added to the proceeds or offset against amounts paid on the underlying future, swap, security or currency transaction to determine the realized gain or loss. A Fund, as a writer of an option, has no control over whether the underlying future, swap, security, or currency may be sold (call) or purchased (put) and, as a result, bears the market risk of an unfavorable change in the price of the future, swap, security, or currency underlying the written option. The risk exists that a Fund may not be able to enter into a closing transaction because of an illiquid market. In addition, to the extent a Fund purchases an over-the-counter (“OTC”) option, it is subject to credit risk that the counterparty to the trade does not perform under the contract’s terms. The Funds are not subject to credit risk on OTC options written as the counterparty has already performed its obligation by paying the premium at the inception of the contract.
The Funds may also purchase put and call options. Purchasing call options tends to increase a Fund’s exposure to the underlying instrument. Purchasing put options tends to decrease a Fund’s exposure to the underlying instrument. A Fund pays a premium, which is included in its Schedule of Investments as an investment and subsequently marked-to-market to reflect the current value of the option. Premiums paid for purchasing options that expire are treated as realized losses. The risk associated with purchasing put and call options is limited to the premium paid. Premiums paid for purchasing options that are exercised or closed are added to the amounts paid or offset against the proceeds on the underlying future, swap, security or currency transaction to determine the realized gain or loss. When entering into purchased option contracts, a Fund bears the risk of securities prices moving unexpectedly, in which case, a Fund may not achieve the anticipated benefits of the purchased option contracts; however, the risk of loss is limited to the premium paid.
Forward Foreign Currency Contracts
Certain Funds use forward foreign currency contracts to manage foreign currency, to produce incremental earnings or to hedge existing positions. A forward foreign currency contract involves an obligation to purchase or sell a specific currency at a future date, which may be any fixed number of days from the date of the contract agreed upon by the parties, at a price set at the time of the contract. These contracts are principally traded in the inter-bank market conducted directly between currency traders (usually large commercial banks) and their customers.
The market value of a forward foreign currency contract fluctuates with changes in currency exchange rates. Outstanding forward foreign currency contracts are valued daily at current market rates and the resulting change in market value is recorded as change in net unrealized appreciation or depreciation on the Statements of Operations. When a forward foreign currency contract is settled, the Fund records a realized gain or loss equal to the difference between the value at the time the forward foreign currency contract was opened and the value at the time it was settled. A forward foreign currency contract may involve market risk in excess of the unrealized appreciation (depreciation) reflected on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities. In addition, the Funds could be exposed to credit risk if the counterparties are unable or unwilling to meet the terms of the contracts or market risk if the value of the foreign currency changes unfavorably.
Equity Certificates
Certain Funds may invest in equity certificates, which allow the Funds to participate in the appreciation (depreciation) of the underlying security without actually owning the underlying security. These instruments are purchased pursuant to an agreement with a financial institution and are valued at a calculated market price based on the value of the underlying security in accordance with the agreement. These equity certificates are subject to the credit risk of the issuing financial institution. There is no off-balance sheet risk associated with equity certificates and the Funds’ potential loss is limited to the purchase price of the securities. The Funds are exposed to credit risk associated with the counterparty to the transaction, which is monitored by the Funds’ management on a periodic basis. A Fund’s equity certificates are not subject to any master netting agreement.

Derivative Investment Holdings Categorized by Risk Exposure
Each Fund is subject to the FASB’s “Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities” (the “Derivatives Statement”). The Derivatives Statement amends and expands disclosures about derivative instruments and hedging activities. The Derivatives Statement is intended to improve financial reporting about derivative instrument by requiring enhanced disclosures to enable investors to better understand how and why the Fund uses derivative instruments, how these derivative instruments are accounted for and their effects on the Funds’ financial position and results of operations. Each Fund's derivative holdings do not qualify for hedge accounting treatment and as such are recorded at current fair value.

Disclosures about Offsetting Assets and Liabilities
The Funds are party to various agreements, including International Swaps and Derivatives Association Agreements and related Credit Support Annexes (“Master Netting Agreements” or “MNA”), which govern the terms of certain transactions with select counterparties. MNAs are designed to reduce counterparty risk associated with the relevant transactions by establishing credit protection mechanisms and providing standardization as a means of improving legal certainty. As MNAs are specific to the unique operations of different asset types, they allow each Fund to close out and net its total exposure to a counterparty in the event of default with respect to all of the transactions governed under a single agreement with that counterparty. MNAs can also help reduce counterparty risk by specifying collateral posting requirements at pre-arranged exposure levels. Securities and cash pledged as collateral are reflected as assets in the Statements of Assets and Liabilities as either a component of "Investment securities at fair value" or "Deposits at broker for securities sold short".
For financial reporting purposes, the Funds do not offset financial assets and financial liabilities that are subject to MNAs or similar arrangements on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities. The settlement of futures contracts, swap contracts and exchange-traded purchased options is guaranteed by the clearinghouse or exchange the instrument is traded on and is not subject to arrangements with particular counterparties. For that reason, these instruments are excluded from the below disclosure.

F. RESTRICTED SECURITIES
Restricted securities are securities that are not registered for sale under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or applicable foreign law and that may be resold only in transactions exempt from applicable registration. Restricted securities include Rule 144A securities which may be sold normally to qualified institutional buyers. At June 30, 2022, the Funds held restricted securities as denoted on the Schedules of Investments.
G. LINE OF CREDIT
The Funds obtained a committed line of credit in the amount of $50,000,000. The line of credit is available primarily to meet large, unexpected shareholder redemptions subject to certain restrictions. Interest is charged at a rate per annum equal to the Federal Funds Rate in effect at the time of the borrowings plus 1.5% or 1.75%, whichever is greater. There is a commitment fee of 0.10% of the excess of the $50,000,000 committed amount over the sum of the average daily balance of any loans, which is allocated amongst the Funds based on average net assets. The Funds did not borrow under the line of credit during the period January 1, 2022 through June 30, 2022 and thus had no outstanding balances as of that date.
H. FOREIGN INVESTMENT RISKS
To the extent a Fund invests in foreign securities, it may entail risks due to the potential for political and economic instability in the countries where the issuers of these securities are located. In addition, foreign exchange fluctuations could affect the value of positions held. These risks are generally intensified in emerging markets.
I. REDEMPTION FEES
Certain Funds may charge a redemption fee of 2.00% of the redemption amount for shares redeemed within 60 days of purchase. The redemption fees are recorded in paid-in capital and reflected in the Statements of Changes in Net Assets.
J. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
Events or transactions that occurred after the date of this report through the date the report was issued have been evaluated for potential impact to the financial statements. There are no subsequent events that require recognition or disclosure in the financial statements.

As a mutual fund shareholder, you may incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including sales charges; redemption fees; and exchange fees and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees; distribution (12b-1) and/or service fees; and other fund expenses. This example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds.
The example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire six month period ended June 30, 2022.
Actual Expenses
The first line of the table below (“Actual”) 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 expense that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the first line under the heading entitled “Expenses Paid During Period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.
Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes
The second line of the tables below (“Hypothetical”) 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. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Fund versus 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, redemption fees or exchange fees. Therefore, the second line of the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transactional costs were included, your costs would have been higher.

Board Review of Liquidity Risk Management Program

Pursuant to Rule 22e-4 under the 1940 Act, the Funds have adopted a liquidity risk management program. The program’s principal objectives include assessing, managing and periodically reviewing each Fund’s liquidity risk, based on factors specific to the circumstances of the Fund. Liquidity risk is defined as the risk that a Fund could not meet redemption requests without significant dilution of remaining investors’ interests in the Fund.
The Adviser has been designated by the Board to administer the Funds’ liquidity risk management program. At a Board meeting held on March 10, 2022 covering the period ending December 31, 2021, The Adviser provided the Board with a report addressing the operations of the program and assessing its adequacy and effectiveness of implementation, including:
 the program supported each Fund’s ability to honor redemption requests timely;
the program supported the Adviser’s management of each Fund’s liquidity profile, including during periods of market volatility and net redemptions;
no material liquidity issues were identified during the period;
there were no material changes to the program during the period;
 the implementation of the program was effective to manage each Fund’s liquidity risk; and
the program operated adequately during the period.
There can be no assurance that the program will achieve its objectives in the future. Please refer to the prospectus for more information regarding each Fund’s exposure to liquidity risk and other principal risks to which an investment in the Funds may be subject.
