letter to our shareholders (Unaudited)

September 30, 2023

 

 

Dear Shareholders,

 

This annual report covers the one-year period ended September 30, 2023.

 

Despite a U.S. economy that continues to shine with unexpected resilience, financial markets have found themselves under increasing pressure as we head toward year end. From surging bond yields to U.S. government shutdown fears to geopolitical concerns, there has been plenty for investors to worry about, but there is also reason for optimism. We suspect that markets may remain volatile in the near term, prompted by temporary uncertainties as well as more structural challenges, such as the impact of higher interest rates on the economy and corporate profits. But for long-term investors, the decline in stock and bond prices is creating more attractive buying opportunities for investors who are patient.

 

In recent months, stocks have largely taken their cues from the bond market, as the Federal Reserve’s message of a higher-for-longer interest rate environment seems to have finally been absorbed by markets. The rapid move higher in government bond yields has increased volatility in both equities and bonds. Higher yields can increase the cost of borrowing, weigh on bond price returns, and put downward pressure on stock valuations. Notably, mega-cap technology stocks, which have driven the lion’s share of equity gains since last October’s bear-market low and often trade at a premium due to their growth prospects, find themselves particularly exposed.

 

Although it has been disappointing to not capture more of the upside concentrated portion of the U.S. stock markets this year, with major U.S. equity indices now near correction territory our mild, defensive positioning is proving prudent. Near-term challenges should keep volatility elevated and the markets perhaps vulnerable to additional pullbacks. We do not think that the impact of the prior Federal Reserve rate hikes has been completely felt by the economy. Higher borrowing costs are soon likely to show a more noticeable impact on consumer spending and business investment. While a still-strong labor market and solid household finances will help mitigate a slowdown ahead, a short and mild recession will be hard to avoid in coming quarters, as will disappointments in corporate earnings.

 

Still, an approaching end to the Federal Reserve’s interest rate hiking cycle now suggests that a more normal recession will be avoided and has given us reason to begin peaking over “walls of worry.” Yields might overshoot in the near term and rise above 5%, particularly given the outsized supply of U.S. Treasuries coming to market. But as economic growth decelerates, inflation moderates, and the Federal Reserve steps to the sidelines, interest rates are expected to peak and gradually moderate, reducing pressure on equity valuations.

 

Although on the surface valuations are still not cheap relative to current bond yields, with the recent pullback in stock prices many segments of the equity market are already trading at more compelling levels. This allows us to start looking over the mild recessionary valley ahead to a recovery of corporate profit growth in the second half of 2024. In fixed income, the recent sell-off in bonds is also creating a buying opportunity. Three years of negative bond returns would be unprecedented, but the upside of this historic decline is that with yields now at very attractive levels, the larger income component can better offset price decreases to produce overall higher total returns going forward.

 

As uncertainties subside, we have a disciplined game plan in place to take advantage of these opportunities and increase equity exposure. For now though, it appears premature to provide an all-clear sign. Given the risks of a short and shallow recession, decreasing corporate earnings, and a correction of a narrow and expensive stock market, we continue to believe that our mildly defensive portfolio positioning is a smart way to stay fully invested until clearer signs of the economy’s direction develop. Our fundamentally driven investment process has navigated several market cycles over the last 30 years, and today it is calling for continued patience, while our focus on holding high-quality and income-producing U.S. stocks and bonds can help provide client portfolios with relative stability as the investment environment grows more challenging.

Fixed Income Funds

 

CALIFORNIA TAX EXEMPT BOND FUND – CNTIX

 

The Servicing Class shares of the Fund, for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2023, underperformed the Bloomberg Intermediate-Short California Municipal Bond Index (1.69% for the Fund versus 2.19% for the benchmark). Calendar year to date, as of September 30, 2023, the Fund returned -1.07% versus the benchmark return of -0.75%. The Fund posted a return of -1.97% in Q3 2023, which underperformed the benchmark’s -1.92% return. Short duration versus the benchmark was the primary cause of underperformance. Looking forward, credit quality remains strong and the Fund is looking for opportunities to enhance yield.

 

MUNICIPAL HIGH INCOME BOND FUND – CNRMX

 

The Servicing Class shares of the Fund posted a return of -4.14% for Q3 2023 versus the Bloomberg Tax-Exempt 60% High Yield/40% Investment Grade Index Custom Cap 1% Index return of -4.09%. Calendar year to date, as of September 30, 2023, the Fund returned -1.55% versus the Index return of -0.99%. For the fiscal year ended September 30, 2023, the Fund returned 0.58%, which underperformed its benchmark return of 3.16%.

 

Municipal bonds underperformed U.S. Treasuries for the quarter and weak technical data (e.g., increasing supply, tempered demand, negative fund flows) exacerbated the market selloff. The credit outlook for municipal bonds continues to remain positive. Upgrades continue to outweigh downgrades, although this trend is starting to slow. With the prospect of a delayed recession, BBB credit spreads have narrowed, and this sector has outperformed high quality municipal debt year to date. The Fund’s underweight allocation to higher quality short-term bonds played a part in the Fund’s underperformance, while credit spread compression allowed the Fund to improve overall credit quality and increase yield. The Fund continues to maintain duration at or a slightly below the index. We continue to view recent volatility and much improved valuations as buying opportunities.

 

FIXED INCOME OPPORTUNITIES FUND – RIMOX

 

The Fund’s Class N shares posted a return of 1.91% for Q3 2023, which outperformed the blended benchmark (40% Bloomberg Barclays Multiverse Hedged, 35% S&P Global Leveraged Loan Index, 25% Bloomberg Barclays Emerging Markets High Yield Total Return) return of 0.14%%. Calendar year to date, as of September 30, 2023, the Fund returned 7.55% versus the blended benchmark return of 4.89%. For the fiscal year ended September 30, 2023, the Fund returned 11.44%, which outperformed the blended benchmark return of 10.02%.

 

The Fund’s opportunistic income strategy has continued to outperform throughout 2023. The third quarter was the strongest yet for 2023, with all segments producing positive returns. Greater exposure to rate sensitive asset classes in the benchmark continued to play a part in the Fund’s relative outperformance. The Fund has also been somewhat insulated from interest rate volatility, as credit spreads and absolute higher yields across the board have impacted the Fund’s performance more so than the volatility in interest rates. In terms of outlook, our manager discussions have included positioning the Fund’s portfolio on the conservative side with ideas such as shortening duration and taking advantage of rating agency mismatches where possible.

Mutual fund investing involves risk, including loss of principal. Bonds and bond funds are subject to interest rate risk and will decline in value as interest rates rise. High yield bonds involve greater risks of default or downgrade and are more volatile than investment grade securities, due to the speculative nature of their investments.

 

The California Tax Exempt Bond Fund invests primarily in California securities and may be more volatile and susceptible to a single adverse economic or regulatory occurrence affecting those obligations than a fund investing in obligations of a number of states.

 

The credit quality breakdown depicts the credit quality ratings of the Fund’s portfolio securities that are rated by one or both of two major nationally recognized statistical rating organizations (“NRSROs”). The two NRSROs currently utilized for this purpose are Standard & Poor’s (S&P) and Moody’s. When a bond is rated by S&P that rating is utilized. If it is not rated by S&P, the Moody’s rating is utilized. When a security is rated by neither, it is classified as “Not Rated.” For bonds, these credit quality ratings are shown without regard to gradations within a given rating category. For example, securities rated “AA-” or “AA+” have been included in the “AA” rated category. Long term ratings are measured on a scale that generally ranges from AAA (highest) to D (lowest).

 

Duration is a measure used to determine the sensitivity of a security’s price to changes in interest rates. The longer a security’s duration, the more sensitive it will be to changes in interest rates.

EQUITY INCOME FUND – RIMHX

 

The Fund’s Class N shares posted a return of -4.16% in Q3 2023, which underperformed the Dow Jones U.S. Select Dividend Index’s return of -3.69%. Year to date, the Fund’s return is -12.02% versus -7.84% for its benchmark. For the fiscal year ended September 30, 2023, the Fund returned 0.03%, which outperformed its benchmark return of -3.10%. Generally, the Fund’s portfolio is relatively balanced between cyclical and defensive sectors, but with a modest tilt defensively, consistent with CNR’s macro view. Stock selection has focused on less-cyclical, less volatile, and less commodity-correlated companies, although recent trades added some cyclical names for both alpha and risk reduction purposes. We expect that our emphasis on quality will lead to superior returns over the entire course of the current market cycle. Stock selection remains biased towards dividend growth over yield given the inflationary backdrop. We continue to closely monitor the Fund’s holdings and we believe that they are executing well amidst a challenging environment.

 

U.S. CORE EQUITY FUND – CNRVX

 

The Servicing Class shares of the Fund posted a return of -3.17% for Q3 2023, which outperformed the S&P 500 Index return of -3.27%. Calendar year to date, as of September 30, 2023, the Fund returned 10.26%, which underperformed its benchmark return of 13.07%. For the fiscal year ended September 30, 2023, the Fund returned 20.18%, which underperformed its benchmark return of 21.62%.

 

During the quarter, we increased our forecasts for GDP and lowered our recession risk for 2023. These changes were mainly due to stronger than expected consumer spending. The Fund’s positioning is intact due to inflation that is stabilizing but still elevated, the continued slowing of the global economy, the increase in recession risk, geopolitical tensions, and the hawkish Federal Reserve response. We remain cautious in the near term with the “higher for longer” interest rate environment unfolding and volatility expected to continue in 2023. The Fund’s portfolio has now been repositioned to the new “Mild Recession” thesis, with an emphasis on high quality companies and the right blend of offense and defense.

Comparison of Change in the Value of a $10,000 Investment in the City National Rochdale U.S. Core Equity Fund, Servicing Class Shares, versus the S&P 500 Index(1)

 

 

(1)

The performance in the above graph does not reflect the deduction of taxes the shareholder will pay on Fund distributions or the redemptions of Fund shares. Investment performance reflects fee waivers in effect. In the absence of such waivers, total return would be reduced. Effective January 31, 2016, the Adviser discontinued the voluntary fee waivers for the Fund.

Past performance is no indication of future performance.

The Fund’s comparative benchmark does not include the annual operating expenses incurred by the Fund. Please note that one cannot invest directly in an unmanaged index.

The following table summarizes the quantitative inputs and assumptions used for items categorized as material Level 3 investments as of September 30, 2023. The disclosures below also include qualitative information on the sensitivity of the fair value measurements to changes in the significant unobservable inputs.

Future Annual Premium Payments

    5,812.50       1,424,750.00       657,071.66  

 

The unobservable inputs used to determine fair value of recurring Level 3 assets may have similar or diverging impacts on valuation. Significant increases and decreases in these inputs in isolation and the interrelationship between them could result in significantly higher or lower fair value measurements. Increases in projected collection rates in isolation would result in a higher fair value measurement, while increases in expected discount rates, projected default rates, and maturities of life settlement contracts, in isolation, would result in a lower fair value measurement.

 

For the year ended September 30, 2023, there have been transfers out of Level 3 due to securities no longer consolidated. Transfers between Levels are recognized at period end.

 

^

Investments in life settlement policies are valued using a probabilistic method, for an actuarially derived valuation approach, in order to determine the fair value of each Policy. Under the probabilistic method, two life expectancies are obtained from established life expectancy providers on the insured(s) of the Policy and an actuarial table is used to determine the probability of survival in each year going forward for the insured(s) for each of the two life expectancies. The probabilities associated with each life expectancy are then utilized, along with the premiums due and the death benefit of the Policy for each year of the Policy, to determine expected cash flows. These cash flows are then discounted at a rate that accounts for the risks associated with the Policy and various other factors. The valuations from each life expectancy are then typically averaged to obtain the desired market valuation for the investor.

ORGANIZATION:

 

City National Rochdale Funds, a Delaware statutory trust (the “Trust”), is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”), as an open-end management investment company currently offering the following 6 series (each a “Fund” and collectively, the “Funds”): City National Rochdale Government Money Market Fund (“Government Money Market Fund”); City National Rochdale California Tax Exempt Bond Fund (“California Tax Exempt Bond Fund”), City National Rochdale Municipal High Income Fund (“Municipal High Income Fund”) and City National Rochdale Fixed Income Opportunities Fund (“Fixed Income Opportunities Fund”) (collectively, the “Fixed Income Funds”); and City National Rochdale Equity Income Fund (“Equity Income Fund”) and City National Rochdale U.S. Core Equity Fund (“U.S. Core Equity Fund”) (collectively, the “Equity Funds”). The Trust is an investment company and accordingly follows the investment company accounting and reporting guidance of the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification Topic 946 “Financial Services - Investment Companies”.

 

The investment objective of the Government Money Market Fund is to preserve your principal and maintain a high degree of liquidity while providing current income. The investment objective of the California Tax Exempt Bond Fund is to provide current income exempt from federal and California state income tax. The investment objective of the Municipal High Income Fund is to provide a high level of current income that is not subject to federal income tax. The investment objective of the Fixed Income Opportunities Fund is to provide a high level of current income. The investment objective of the Equity Income Fund is to provide significant income and long-term capital appreciation. The investment objective of the U.S. Core Equity Fund is to provide long-term capital appreciation.

 

The Trust is registered to offer: Class N shares of the Funds; Servicing Class shares of the Funds except for Fixed Income Opportunities Fund and Equity Income Fund; Institutional Class shares of U.S. Core Equity Fund; Class S shares of the Government Money Market Fund.

 

The assets of each Fund are segregated, and a shareholder’s interest is limited to the Fund in which shares are held. Each Fund is diversified with the exception of the California Tax Exempt Bond Fund, which is non-diversified.

 

The City National Rochdale Government Bond Fund, the City National Rochdale Corporate Bond Fund, and the City National Rochdale Intermediate Fixed Income Fund were each liquidated on May 25, 2023.

 

The California Tax Exempt Bond Fund was liquidated on October 16, 2023.

 

On October 1, 2022, City National Rochdale Income Opportunities (Ireland) Limited, a wholly owned subsidiary of the Fixed Income Opportunities Fund, transferred its holdings to CNR FIOF Investments (Ireland) Limited, a company organized under the laws of Ireland (the “Irish Company”), and began the process of dissolving. The Irish Company is a “qualifying company” as defined in Section 110 of the Irish Taxes Consolidation Act 1997, as amended. As a result of this restructuring, the Irish Company issued a profit participation note to the Fixed Income Opportunities Fund, through which the Fund benefits from the profits of the transferred holdings. The Fixed Income Opportunities Fund does not hold an equity interest or voting rights in the Irish Company, nor does it have the ability to appoint directors. Consequently, the Fixed Income Opportunities Fund does not consolidate the operations of the Irish Company into the Fund’s financial statements, including in the September 30, 2023 Annual Report. The Irish Company (unlike the Fixed Income Opportunities Fund) may invest an unlimited portion of its net assets in life insurance policies. The Irish Company also may invest in other instruments, including fixed income securities, cash and cash equivalents and U.S. Government securities.

SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES:

 

The following is a summary of significant accounting policies followed by the Funds.

 

Use of Estimates – The Funds are investment companies that conform with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”). Therefore the Funds follow the accounting and reporting guidance for investment companies. 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 and decreases in net assets from operations during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

 

Security Valuation – Securities listed on a securities exchange, market or automated quotation system for which quotations are readily available (except for securities traded on NASDAQ) are valued at the last quoted sale price on the primary exchange or market (foreign or domestic) on which they are traded, or, if there is no such reported sale, at the most recent quoted bid price. For securities traded on NASDAQ, the NASDAQ Official Closing Price is used. If available, debt securities are priced based upon valuations provided by independent, third-party pricing agents. Such values generally reflect the last reported

 

CITY NATIONAL ROCHDALE FUNDS | PAGE 110

 

 

 

 

 

 

sales price if the security is actively traded. The third-party pricing agents may also value debt securities at an evaluated bid price by employing methodologies that utilize actual market transactions, broker-supplied valuations, or other methodologies designed to identify the market value for such securities. Debt obligations with remaining maturities of 60 days or less may be valued at their amortized cost, if the Fair Value Committee (the “Committee”) of City National Rochdale, LLC (“City National Rochdale” or the “Adviser”) concludes that such amortized cost approximates market value after taking into account factors such as credit, liquidity and interest rate conditions as well as issuer specific factors. Investments in underlying registered investment companies are valued at their respective daily net assets in accordance with pricing procedures approved by their respective boards. The prices for foreign securities are reported in local currency and converted to U.S. Dollars using currency exchange rates. Prices for most securities held by the Funds are provided daily by recognized independent pricing agents. If a security price cannot be obtained from an independent, third-party pricing agent, the Funds seek to obtain a bid price from one or more independent brokers.

 

Securities for which market prices are not “readily available” are valued in accordance with the Fair Value Procedures approved by the Trust’s Board of Trustees (the “Board”). The Funds’ Fair Value Procedures are implemented through the Committee designated by the Adviser. Some of the more common reasons that may necessitate that a security be valued using the Fair Value Procedures include: the security’s trading has been halted or suspended; the security has been de-listed from a national exchange; the security’s primary trading market is temporarily closed at a time when, under normal conditions, it would be open; for international securities, market events that occur after the close of the foreign markets that make closing prices not representative of fair value; or the security’s primary pricing source is not able or willing to provide a price. When a security is valued in accordance with the Fair Value Procedures, the Committee will determine the value after taking into consideration relevant information reasonably available to the Committee.

 

In accordance with GAAP, the objective of a fair value measurement is to determine the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability, in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date (an exit price). The fair value hierarchy gives the highest priority to quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3). The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are described below:

 

 

Level 1 — Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical, unrestricted assets or liabilities that the Funds have the ability to access at the measurement date;

 

 

Level 2 — Quoted prices in inactive markets, or inputs that are observable (either directly or indirectly) for substantially the full term of the asset or liability; and

 

 

Level 3 — Prices, inputs or exotic modeling techniques which are both significant to the fair value measurement and unobservable (supported by little or no market activity).

 

Investments are classified within the level of the lowest significant input considered in determining fair value. Investments classified within Level 3, the fair value measurement of which considers several inputs, may include Level 1 or Level 2 inputs as components of the overall fair value measurement.

 

For the year ended September 30, 2023, there have been no changes to the Funds’ fair value methodologies. For more details on the investment classifications, refer to the Schedules of Investments.

 

Security Transactions and Related Income – Security transactions are accounted for on the trade date of the security purchase or sale. Costs used in determining the net realized capital gains or losses on the sale of securities are those of the specific securities sold. Interest income is recognized on an accrual basis and dividend income is recognized on the ex-dividend date. Purchase discounts and premiums on securities held by the Funds are accreted and amortized to maturity using the scientific method, which approximates the effective interest method over the holding period of a security, except for the Government Money Market Fund, which uses a straight line basis which is not materially different from the scientific method.

 

Repurchase Agreements – Securities pledged as collateral for repurchase agreements are held by BNY Mellon until maturity of the repurchase agreements. Provisions of the agreements and procedures adopted by the investment adviser require that the market value of the collateral, including accrued interest thereon, is sufficient in the event of default by the counterparty. The Funds also invest in tri-party repurchase agreements. Securities held as collateral for tri-party repurchase agreements are maintained by the broker’s custodian bank in a segregated account until maturity of the repurchase agreements. Provisions of the agreements require that the market value of the collateral, including accrued interest thereon, is sufficient in the event of default. If the counterparty defaults and the value of the

 

CITY NATIONAL ROCHDALE FUNDS | PAGE 111

 

 

 

notes to financial statements

September 30, 2023

 

 

collateral declines or if the counterparty enters into an insolvency proceeding, realization of the collateral by a Fund may be delayed or limited.

 

TBA Transactions – The Funds may engage in “to be announced” (“TBA”) security transactions. Such transactions involve a commitment by a Fund to purchase or sell securities for a predetermined price or yield, with payment and delivery taking place beyond the customary settlement period. The Funds record TBA securities on the trade date and maintain security positions such that sufficient liquid assets will be available to make payments for the securities purchased.

 

Expense Allocation – Common expenses incurred by the Funds are allocated among the Funds (i) based upon relative average daily net assets, (ii) as incurred on a specific identification basis, (iii) equally, or (iv) based upon a combination of the above, depending on the nature of the expenditure.

 

Classes – Class-specific expenses are borne by that class. Income, non class-specific expenses, and realized and unrealized gains/losses are allocated to the respective class on the basis of relative net asset value each day.

 

Dividends and Distributions to Shareholders – Dividends from net investment income are declared daily and paid to shareholders monthly for the Government Money Market Fund and Fixed Income Funds, except for the Fixed Income Opportunities Fund. Dividends from net investment income are declared and paid quarterly for Fixed Income Opportunities Fund and Equity Funds. Distributions from net realized capital gains are distributed to shareholders at least annually. Dividends and distributions are recorded on the ex-dividend date.

 

Foreign Currency – Values of investments denominated in foreign currencies are converted into U.S. Dollars using the spot market rate of exchange at the time of valuation. Purchases and sales of investments and dividend and interest income are translated into U.S. Dollars using the spot market rate of exchange prevailing on the respective dates of such transactions. The Funds do not isolate the portion of gains and losses on investments that is due to changes in the foreign exchange rates from that which is due to changes in market prices of investments. Foreign securities and currency transactions may involve certain considerations and risks not typically associated with those of domestic origin.

 

Forward Foreign Currency Contracts – A forward foreign currency contract is an agreement between two parties to buy or sell a currency at a set price on a future date. Forward contracts are marked to market daily and the change in market value is recorded as an unrealized gain/(loss) on forward foreign currency contracts in the Statements of Assets and Liabilities. When a contract is closed, a Fund records a realized gain or loss equal to the difference between the value of the contract at the time it was opened and the value at the time it was closed, which is included within the realized gain/(loss) on foreign currency transactions in the Statements of Operations. A Fund could be at risk if the counterparties are unable to meet the terms of the contracts or if the value of the currency changes unfavorably.

 

To reduce counterparty risk with respect to over-the-counter (“OTC”) transactions, the Fixed Income Opportunities Fund has entered into master netting arrangements, established within the Fixed Income Opportunities Fund’s International Swaps and Derivatives Association, Inc. (“ISDA”) master agreements, which allow the Fixed Income Opportunities Fund to make (or to have an entitlement to receive) a single net payment in the event of default (close-out netting) for outstanding payables and receivables with respect to certain OTC positions in forward foreign currency contracts for each individual counterparty. In addition, the Fixed Income Opportunities Fund may require that certain counterparties post cash and/or securities in collateral accounts to cover their net payment obligations for those derivative contracts subject to ISDA master agreements. If the counterparty fails to perform under these agreements, the cash and/or securities will be made available to the Fixed Income Opportunities Fund.

 

For financial reporting purposes, the Fixed Income Opportunities Fund does not offset derivative assets and derivative liabilities that are subject to netting arrangements in the Statements of Assets and Liabilities.

 

Bankruptcy or insolvency laws of a particular jurisdiction may impose restrictions on or prohibitions against the right of offset in bankruptcy, insolvency or other events.

 

Collateral terms are contract specific for OTC derivatives. For derivatives traded under an ISDA master agreement, the collateral requirements are typically calculated by netting the marked to market amount of each transaction under such agreement and comparing that amount to the value of any collateral currently pledged by the Fixed Income Opportunities Fund, or the counterparty.

 

For financial reporting purposes, cash collateral that has been pledged to cover obligations of the Fixed Income Opportunities Fund, if any, is reported separately on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities as cash pledged as collateral. Non-cash collateral pledged by the Fixed Income Opportunities Fund, if any, is noted in the Schedules of Investments. Generally, the amount of collateral due from or to a party must exceed a minimum transfer amount threshold before a transfer has to be made. To the extent the amounts due to the Fixed Income Opportunities

 

CITY NATIONAL ROCHDALE FUNDS | PAGE 112

 

 

 

 

 

 

Fund from the Fund’s counterparties are not fully collateralized, contractually or otherwise, the Fixed Income Opportunities Fund bears the risk of loss from counterparty nonperformance.

 

Futures Contracts – To the extent consistent with their investment objective and strategies, certain Funds may use futures contracts for tactical hedging purposes as well as to enhance the Funds’ returns. Initial margin deposits of cash or securities are made upon entering into futures contracts. The contracts are marked to market daily and the resulting changes in value are accounted for as unrealized gains or losses. Variation margin payments are paid or received, depending upon whether unrealized gains or losses are incurred. When a contract is closed, a Fund records a realized gain or loss equal to the difference between the proceeds from (or cost of) the closing transaction and the amount invested in the contract.

 

Risks of entering into futures contracts include the possibility that there will be an imperfect price correlation between the futures contract and the underlying securities. Second, it is possible that a lack of liquidity for futures contracts could exist in the secondary market, resulting in an inability to close a position prior to its maturity date. Third, futures contracts involve the risk that a Fund could lose more than the original margin deposit required to initiate a futures transaction.

 

Finally, the risk exists that losses could exceed amounts disclosed on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities. Refer to each Fund’s Schedule of Investments for details regarding open futures contracts as of September 30, 2023, if applicable.

 

Swaps – A Fund may invest in swaps as a non-principal investment strategy. A swap is a financial instrument that typically involves the exchange of cash flows between two parties on specified dates (settlement dates), where the cash flows are based on agreed-upon measures such as prices, interest rates or indices. The nominal amount on which these cash flows are calculated is called the notional amount. Swaps are individually negotiated and structured to include exposure to a variety of different types of investments or market factors, such as interest rates, foreign currency rates, mortgage securities, corporate borrowing rates, security prices, indices or inflation rates.

 

Swaps may increase or decrease the overall volatility of the investments of a Fund and its share price. The performance of swaps may be affected by a change in the specific interest rate, currency, or other factors that determine the payments due to and from a Fund. If a swap calls for payments by a Fund, the Fund must be prepared to make such payments when due. In addition, if the counterparty’s creditworthiness declines, the value of a swap would be likely to decline, potentially resulting in losses.

 

Generally, a swap has a fixed maturity date that is agreed upon by the parties. The agreement can be terminated before the maturity date only under limited circumstances, such as default by one of the parties or insolvency, among others, and can be transferred by a party only with the prior written consent of the other party. A Fund may be able to eliminate its exposure under a swap either by assignment or by other disposition, or by entering into an offsetting swap with the same party or a similarly creditworthy party. If the counterparty is unable to meet its obligations under the contract, declares bankruptcy, defaults or becomes insolvent, a Fund may not be able to recover the money it expected to receive under the contract.

 

A swap can be a form of leverage, which can magnify a Fund’s gains or losses. In order to reduce the risk associated with leveraging, a Fund will cover its current obligations under swaps according to guidelines established by the SEC. If a Fund enters into a swap on a net basis, it will segregate assets with a daily value at least equal to the excess, if any, of the Fund’s accrued obligations under the swap over the accrued amount the Fund is entitled to receive under the agreement. If a Fund enters into a swap on other than a net basis, it will segregate assets with a value equal to the full amount of the Fund’s accrued obligations under the agreement.

 

Options Contracts – A Fund 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. When purchasing an option, a Fund will pay a premium which is included on the Fund’s Statement of Assets and Liabilities and subsequently marked to market to reflect the current value of the option. Premiums paid for purchasing options which expire are treated as realized losses. Certain options may be purchased with premiums to be determined on a future date. The premiums for these options are based upon implied volatility parameters at specified terms. The risk associated with purchasing put and call options is limited to the premium paid. Premiums paid for purchasing options which are exercised or closed are added to the amounts paid or offset against the proceeds on the underlying investment transaction to determine the realized gain or loss.

 

The net realized gain or loss on options contracts is reflected in the Statements of Operations and the net unrealized gains/(losses) are included as a component of the net change in unrealized appreciation/(depreciation) on options contracts in the Statements of Operations. Realized and changes in unrealized gains or losses on options contracts during the period as disclosed in the Statements of Operations serve as indicators of the volume of derivative activity for a Fund. As of September 30, 2023 and for the year then ended, there were no open options contracts.

Restricted Securities – Restricted securities include securities that have not been registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and securities that are subject to restrictions on resale.

 

A Fund may invest in restricted securities that are consistent with the Fund’s investment objective and investment strategies. While restricted securities are generally presumed to be illiquid, it may be determined that a particular restricted security is liquid. In some cases, the issuer of restricted securities has agreed to register such securities for resale, at the issuer’s expense either upon demand by a Fund or in connection with another registered offering of the securities. Investments in restricted securities are valued at fair value as determined in good faith in accordance with procedures adopted by the Board. It is possible that the estimated value may differ significantly from the amount that might ultimately be realized in the near term, and the difference could be material.

 

Master Limited Partnerships – Entities commonly referred to as “MLPs” are generally organized under state law as limited partnerships or limited liability companies. The Equity Income Fund may, as a non-principal investment strategy, invest in MLPs receiving partnership taxation treatment under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, interests or “units” of which are traded on securities exchanges like shares of corporate stock. To qualify as an MLP for U.S. Federal income tax purposes, an entity must receive at least 90% of its income from qualifying sources such as interest, dividends, real estate rents, gains from the sale or disposition of real property, income and gains from certain mineral or natural resources activities, income and gains from the transportation or storage of certain fuels, and, in certain circumstances, income and gains from commodities or futures, forwards and options with respect to commodities, and gains from the sale or other disposition of a capital asset held for the production of such income. Mineral or natural resources activities include exploration, development, production, mining, processing, refining, marketing and transportation (including pipelines) of oil and gas, minerals, geothermal energy, fertilizer, timber or industrial source carbon dioxide. An MLP consists of a general partner and limited partners (or in the case of MLPs organized as limited liability companies, a managing member and members). The general partner or managing member typically controls the operations and management of the MLP and has an ownership stake in the partnership. The limited partners or members, through their ownership of limited partner or member interests, provide capital to the entity, are intended to have no role in the operation and management of the entity, and receive cash distributions. The MLPs themselves generally do not pay U.S. Federal income taxes. Thus, unlike investors in corporate securities, direct MLP investors are generally not subject to double taxation (i.e., corporate level tax and tax on corporate dividends). Currently, most MLPs operate in the energy, natural resources or real estate sectors.

 

Investments in Affiliated Securities – The Fixed Income Funds and Equity Funds may invest excess cash in the Government Money Market Fund, the Municipal High Income Fund and / or the Fixed Income Opportunities Fund.

ADMINISTRATION, TRANSFER AGENT, DISTRIBUTION AND SHAREHOLDER SERVICES AGREEMENTS:

 

Pursuant to an Amended and Restated Administration Agreement dated January 1, 2013, as amended (the “Agreement”), SEI Investments Global Funds Services (the “Administrator”), a wholly owned subsidiary of SEI Investments Company, acts as the Trust’s administrator. Under the terms of the Agreement, the Administrator is entitled to receive an annual fee based on the average daily net assets of the Trust, subject to a minimum annual fee.

 

The Trust has adopted a Rule 12b-1 Distribution Plan (“the Plan”) with respect to Class N and Class S Shares that allows each Fund to pay distribution fees. Pursuant to the Plan, SEI Investments Distribution Co. (the “Distributor”) may receive a distribution fee, computed daily and paid monthly, at the annual rate of 0.50% of the average daily net assets of the Class S Shares and 0.30% of the average daily net assets of the Class N Shares of the Government Money Market Fund and 0.25% of the Class N Shares of the Fixed Income Funds and Equity Funds, which may be used by the Distributor to provide compensation for sales support and distribution-related activities. Pursuant to a Distribution Coordination Agreement, the entirety of the fees received by the Distributor pursuant to the Plan is transmitted to CNR Securities, LLC (“CNR Securities”) as Sub-Distribution Coordinator. CNR Securities then reallows those fees to broker-dealers and service providers, including the Adviser and other affiliates, for payments for distribution services of the type identified in the Plan, and retains any undistributed balance of fees received from the Distributor.

 

The Government Money Market Fund has contractually agreed to limit the distribution fee payable by Class S shares of the Fund to 0.45% through January 31, 2024. Any time prior to January 31, 2024, the arrangement may be terminated without penalty by the Board.

 

U.S. Bank Global Fund Services (the “Transfer Agent”) serves as transfer agent for the Trust and provides services at an annual rate of $20,000 per share class for all Funds plus other transaction based fees and out-of-pocket expenses.

 

The Trust has entered into a Shareholder Services Agreement that permits payment of compensation to City National Bank (“CNB”), its affiliates (including City National Rochdale) and others, which provide certain specified shareholder services to shareholders of all classes of each Fund, except for the Institutional Class shares. As compensation for the provision of such services, each Fund will pay CNB a fee of 0.25% of the average daily net assets of the applicable classes on an annual basis, payable monthly.

 

CITY NATIONAL ROCHDALE FUNDS | PAGE 115

7.

FEDERAL TAX INFORMATION:

 

Each Fund intends to continue to qualify as a regulated investment company for U.S. Federal income tax purposes and distribute all of its taxable income and net capital gains. Accordingly, no provisions for U.S. Federal income taxes are required.

 

Management has analyzed the Funds’ tax positions taken on U.S. Federal income tax returns for all open tax years and has concluded that as of September 30, 2023, no provision for income tax would be required in the Funds’ financial statements. The Funds’ U.S. Federal and state income and U.S. Federal excise tax returns for tax

 

CITY NATIONAL ROCHDALE FUNDS | PAGE 116

 

 

 

 

 

 

years for which the applicable statutes of limitations have not expired are subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service and state departments of revenue.

 

The Funds may be subject to taxes imposed by countries in which they invest, with respect to their investments in issuers existing or operating in such countries. Such taxes are generally based on income earned. The Funds accrue such taxes when the related income is earned.

 

The timing and characterization of certain income and capital gains distributions are determined annually in accordance with U.S. Federal tax regulations, which may differ from accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. As a result, net investment income/(loss) and net realized gain/(loss) on investment transactions for a reporting period may differ significantly from distributions during such period. These book/tax differences may be temporary or permanent. To the extent these differences are permanent in nature, they are charged or credited to distributable earnings or paid-in capital, as appropriate, in the period that the differences arise.

 

The permanent difference that is credited or charged to Paid-in Capital and Distributable Earnings as of September 30, 2023 is primarily related to deemed distributions due to shareholder redemptions that have been reclassified to (from) the following accounts:

CONCENTRATION OF RISK

 

In the normal course of business, the Funds enter into contracts that provide general indemnifications. The Funds’ maximum exposure under these arrangements is dependent on future claims that may be made against the Funds and, therefore, cannot be established; however, based on experience, the risk of loss from such claims is considered remote.

 

The Fixed Income Opportunities Fund and the Equity Income Fund may invest in exchange-traded notes (“ETNs”), each as a non-principal investment strategy. ETNs are unsecured debt obligations of investment banks which are traded on exchanges and the returns of which are linked to the performance of market indexes. In addition to trading ETNs on exchanges, investors may redeem ETNs directly with the issuer on a weekly basis, typically in a minimum amount of 50,000 units, or hold the ETNs until maturity. ETNs are riskier than ordinary unsecured debt securities and have no principal protection. The Funds will generally invest in ETNs which are linked to commodities indexes. A Fund’s investment in an ETN may be influenced by many unpredictable factors, including highly volatile commodities prices, changes in supply and demand relationships, weather, agriculture, trade, changes in interest rates, and monetary and other governmental policies, action and inaction. Investing in ETNs is not equivalent to investing directly in index components or the relevant index itself. Because ETNs are debt securities, they possess credit risk; if the issuer has financial difficulties or goes bankrupt, the investor may not receive the return expected and may suffer a loss.

 

The Municipal High Income Fund and Fixed Income Opportunities Fund may invest in lower-rated corporate bonds, known as high yield bonds. High yield bonds involve greater risks of default, downgrade, or price declines and are more volatile than investment grade securities. Issuers of high yield bonds may be more susceptible than other issuers to economic downturns and investors are subject to a greater risk that the issuer may not be able to pay interest or dividends, or repay the principal upon maturity. Discontinuation of these payments could have a substantial adverse effect on the market value of the security.

 

The Fixed Income Opportunities Fund may invest in asset-backed and mortgage-backed securities. As a general rule, prepayments of the principal of the loans underlying mortgage-backed or other pass-through securities increase during a period of falling interest rates and decrease during a period of rising interest rates. In periods of declining interest rates, as a result of prepayments a Fund may be required to reinvest its assets in securities with lower interest rates. In periods of increasing interest rates, the securities subject to prepayment risk held by a Fund may exhibit price characteristics of longer-term debt securities.

 

The Fixed Income Opportunities Fund may invest in bank loans. Bank loans are not traded on an exchange and purchasers and sellers of bank loans generally rely on market makers, typically the administrative agent under a bank loan, to effect private sales transactions. As a result, bank loans may have relatively less liquidity than other types of fixed income assets, and a Fund may be more likely to incur losses on the sale of bank loans than on other, more liquid, investments.

 

California Tax Exempt Bond Fund – Specific Risks

 

The ability of issuers to pay interest on, and repay the principal of, California municipal securities may be affected by economic and political developments in the State of California.

 

CITY NATIONAL ROCHDALE FUNDS | PAGE 118

 

 

 

 

 

 

Certain securities are backed by letters of credit from various financial institutions and financial guaranty assurance agencies. These letters of credit enhance the credit quality of the individual securities; however, if any of the financial institutions’ or financial guaranty assurance agencies’ credit quality should deteriorate, it could cause the individual security’s credit quality to change. Additionally, if the Fund concentrates its letters of credit in any one financial institution, the risk of credit quality deterioration increases.

 

LIBOR Risk

 

LIBOR was a leading benchmark or reference rate for various commercial and financial contracts, including corporate and municipal bonds, bank loans, asset-backed and mortgage-related securities, interest rate swaps and other derivatives. On July 27, 2017, the United Kingdom’s Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) announced the gradual phase out of the LIBOR rate, with nearly all LIBOR rate publications having ceased as of June 30, 2023 (some LIBOR rates continue to be published, but only on a temporary and synthetic basis). Alternatives to LIBOR have been established and others may be developed. The U.S. Federal Reserve, in conjunction with the Alternative Reference Rates Committee, a steering committee comprised of large U.S. financial institutions, has identified the Secured Overnight Financial Rate (“SOFR”) as the preferred alternative rate to LIBOR. SOFR is a relatively new index calculated by short-term repurchase agreements, backed by U.S. Treasury securities. There remains uncertainty surrounding the nature of any replacement rates.

 

The transition to a new reference rate may result in (i) increased volatility or illiquidity in markets for instruments or contracts that previously relied on or still rely on LIBOR; (ii) a reduction in the value of certain instruments or contracts held by a Fund; (iii) reduced effectiveness of related Fund transactions, such as hedging; (iv) additional tax, accounting and regulatory risks; or (v) costs incurred in connection with closing out positions and entering into new trades. Any pricing adjustments to a Fund’s investments resulting from a substitute reference rate may also adversely affect the Fund’s performance and/or NAV. There is no assurance that the composition or characteristics of any such alternative reference rate will be similar to or produce the same value or economic equivalence as LIBOR or that instruments or contracts using an alternative rate will have the same volume or liquidity.

 

A more complete description of risks is included in the Funds’ prospectus and statement of additional information.

LINE OF CREDIT

 

The Funds, except for the Government Money Market Fund, have an unsecured Loan Agreement (“LOC”) with U.S. Bank N.A. Under the terms of the LOC, borrowings for an individual Fund are limited to either the lesser of 10% of the Fund’s net assets or an explicit amount on the LOC. Interest is charged to a Fund based on its borrowings at prime rate minus 0.50%. The line of credit matures, unless renewed by September 4, 2024. The line of credit is with the Custodian. The Funds have authorized the Custodian to charge any of the accounts of the Funds for any missed payments. Interest expense amounts are included in other expenses on the Statements of Operations.

 

Borrowing activity under the LOC for the year ended September 30, 2023, was as follows:

Opinion on the Financial Statements

 

We have audited the accompanying statements of assets and liabilities, including the schedules of investments, of City National Rochdale Government Money Market Fund, City National Rochdale California Tax Exempt Bond Fund, City National Rochdale Municipal High Income Fund, City National Rochdale Fixed Income Opportunities Fund, City National Rochdale Equity Income Fund, and City National Rochdale U.S. Core Equity Fund (the “Funds”), each a series of shares of beneficial interest in City National Rochdale Funds, as of September 30, 2023, the related statements of operations, changes in net assets and cash flows (for City National Rochdale Fixed Income Opportunities Fund only), the related notes, and the financial highlights for the year then ended (collectively referred to as the “financial statements”). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Funds as of September 30, 2023, the results of their operations, the changes in net assets, the cash flows (for City National Rochdale Fixed Income Opportunities Fund only), and the financial highlights for the year then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

 

The Funds’ financial statements and financial highlights for the years ended September 30, 2022, and prior, were audited by another auditor whose report, dated November 29, 2022, expressed an unqualified opinion on those financial statements and financial highlights.

 

Basis for Opinion

 

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

 

Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of September 30, 2023, by correspondence with the custodian, brokers, agent banks, insurance companies and by other appropriate auditing procedures where replies were not received. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made

by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

 

We have served as the Funds’ auditor since 2023.

change in independent registered public accounting firm (Unaudited)

 

 

Effective March 6, 2023, BBD LLP (“BBD”) ceased to serve as the independent registered public accounting firm of City National Rochdale Funds (the “Trust”), a Delaware statutory trust registered as an open-end management investment company. Effective March 6, 2023, the Audit Committee of the Trust’s Board of Trustees approved Cohen & Company, Ltd. (“Cohen”) to replace BBD as the Trust’s independent registered public accounting firm as a result of Cohen’s acquisition of BBD’s investment management group.

 

The reports of BBD on the financial statements of the Trust as of and for the fiscal years ended September 30, 2021, and September 30, 2022, did not contain an adverse opinion or a disclaimer of opinion, and were not qualified or modified as to uncertainties, audit scope or accounting principles. During the fiscal years ended September 30, 2021, and September 30, 2022, and during the subsequent interim period through March 6, 2023: (i) there were no disagreements between the Trust and BBD on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedure, which disagreements, if not resolved to the satisfaction of BBD, would have caused it to make reference to the subject matter of the disagreements in its report on the financial statements of the Trust for such years or interim period; and (ii) there were no “reportable events,” as defined in Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.

 

The Trust requested that BBD furnish it with a letter addressed to the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission stating that it agrees with the above statements.

 

Effective March 6, 2023, the Audit Committee of the Trust’s Board of Trustees also recommended and approved the appointment of Cohen as the Trust’s independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2023.

 

During the fiscal years ended September 30, 2021, and September 30, 2022, and during the subsequent interim period through March 6, 2023, neither the Trust, nor anyone acting on its behalf, consulted with Cohen on behalf of the Trust regarding the application of accounting principles to a specified transaction (either completed or proposed), the type of audit opinion that might be rendered on the Trust’s financial statements, or any matter that was either: (i) the subject of a “disagreement,” as defined in Item 304(a)(1)(iv) of Regulation S-K and the instructions thereto; or (ii) “reportable events,” as defined in Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K.

disclosure of fund expenses (Unaudited)

 

 

All mutual funds have operating expenses. As a shareholder of a Fund, your investment is affected by these ongoing costs, which include (among others) costs for portfolio management, administrative services, class-specific distribution fees, acquired fund fees and shareholder reports like this one. It is important for you to understand the impact of these costs on your investment returns.

 

Operating expenses such as these are deducted from a Fund’s gross income and directly reduce your final investment return. These expenses are expressed as a percentage of the Fund’s average net assets; this percentage is known as the Fund’s expense ratio.

 

The following examples use the expense ratio and are intended to help you understand the ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in a Fund and to compare these costs with those of other mutual funds. The examples are based on an investment of $1,000 made at the beginning of the period shown and held for the entire period (April 1, 2023 through September 30, 2023).

 

The table below illustrates each Fund’s costs in two ways:

 

Actual Fund Return. This section helps you to estimate the actual expenses that each Fund incurred over the period. The “Expenses Paid During Period” column shows the actual dollar expense cost incurred by a $1,000 investment in each Fund, and the “Ending Account Value” number is derived from deducting that expense cost from each Fund’s gross investment return.

 

You can use this information, together with the actual amount you invested in a Fund, to estimate the expenses you paid over that period. Simply divide your actual account value by $1,000 to arrive at a ratio (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply that ratio by the number shown for the Fund under “Expenses Paid During Period.”

 

Hypothetical 5% Return. This section helps you compare each Fund’s costs with those of other mutual funds. It assumes that each Fund had an annual 5% return before expenses during the year, but that the expense ratio (Column 3) for the period is unchanged. This example is useful in making comparisons because the Securities and Exchange Commission requires all mutual funds to make this 5% calculation.

board approval of advisory and sub-advisory agreements (Unaudited)

 

 

The Board of Trustees of City National Rochdale Funds (the “Trust”) is currently comprised of six Trustees, all of whom are Independent Trustees (i.e., not “interested persons” of the Trust as defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended). At in-person meetings held on April 4, 2023, and May 18, 2023, the Board, which was composed of five Trustees, all of whom were Independent Trustees, considered and approved the renewal of the following advisory and sub-advisory agreements:

 

 

The advisory agreement between City National Rochdale, LLC (the “Adviser”) and the Trust, on behalf of the City National Rochdale Government Money Market Fund (the “Government Money Market Fund”), City National Rochdale California Tax Exempt Bond Fund (the “California Tax Exempt Bond Fund”), City National Rochdale Municipal High Income Fund (the “Municipal High Income Fund”), City National Rochdale Fixed Income Opportunities Fund (the “Fixed Income Opportunities Fund”), City National Rochdale Equity Income Fund (the “Equity Income Fund”), and City National Rochdale U.S. Core Equity Fund (the “U.S. Core Equity Fund”) (each, a “Fund” and collectively, the “Funds”);

 

 

The advisory agreement between the Adviser and CNR FIOF Investments (Ireland) Limited (the “Irish Company”), a company organized under the laws of Ireland;

 

 

The sub-advisory agreement between the Adviser and AllFinancial Partners II, LLC (“AllFinancial”), with respect to the Fixed Income Opportunities Fund;

 

 

The sub-advisory agreement between the Adviser and Federated Investment Management Company (“Federated”), with respect to the Fixed Income Opportunities Fund;

 

 

The sub-advisory agreement between the Adviser and Seix Investment Advisors LLC (“Seix”), with respect to the Fixed Income Opportunities Fund; and

 

 

The sub-advisory agreement between the Adviser and T. Rowe Price Associates, Inc. (“T. Rowe Price”), with respect to the Fixed Income Opportunities Fund.

 

The advisory and sub-advisory agreements listed above are collectively referred to below as the “Agreements.” AllFinancial, Federated, Seix, and T. Rowe Price are collectively referred to below as the “Sub-Advisers.”

 

General Information

 

The following information summarizes the Board’s considerations associated with its review of the Agreements. In connection with their deliberations, the Trustees considered such information and factors as they believed, in light of the legal advice furnished to them and their own business judgment, to be relevant. The Agreements were considered separately for each Fund and the Irish Company, although the Board took into account the common interests of the Funds and the Irish Company in its review. As described below, the Board considered the nature, quality and extent of the various services performed by the Adviser and each Sub-Adviser. In considering these matters, the Independent Trustees discussed the renewal of the Agreements with management and in private sessions with their independent counsel at which no representatives of the Adviser or the Sub-Advisers were present.

 

The Board reviewed extensive materials regarding investment results of the Adviser and each Sub-Adviser with respect to the Funds (or portions of the Fixed Income Opportunities Fund) they manage and the Irish Company, as applicable, advisory fee and expense comparisons, financial information with respect to the Adviser and each Sub-Adviser, descriptions of various functions such as compliance monitoring and portfolio trading practices, and information about the personnel providing various services to the Funds and the Irish Company. The Board also took into account information they received at past meetings of the Board and its committees with respect to these matters.

 

In deciding to renew the Agreements, the Board and the Independent Trustees did not identify a single factor as controlling and this summary does not describe all of the matters considered. In addition, each Board member did not necessarily attribute the same weight to each matter. However, the Board and the Independent Trustees concluded that each of the various factors referred to below favored such renewal.

 

CITY NATIONAL ROCHDALE, LLC

 

Nature, Extent and Quality of Services

 

In reviewing the services provided by the Adviser to the Funds and the Irish Company, the Board considered a variety of matters, including the overall quality and depth of the Adviser’s organization, its overall financial strength and stability, its commitment to compliance with applicable laws and regulations and the systems in place to ensure compliance with those requirements, its portfolio trading and soft dollar practices, and its disaster recovery and contingency planning practices. The Board also considered the experience, capability and integrity

board approval of advisory and sub-advisory agreements (Unaudited) (Continued)

 

 

of the Adviser’s senior management, the background, education and experience of the Adviser’s personnel, and its efforts to retain, attract and motivate capable personnel to serve the Funds and the Irish Company. With respect to the Fixed Income Opportunities Fund, the Board considered the process the Adviser utilizes to select the Sub-Advisers and proactively oversee the Sub-Advisers with respect to various investment, valuation and compliance matters. The Board found all of these matters to be satisfactory.

 

Investment Performance

 

The Board assessed the performance of each Fund compared with the returns of its respective benchmark index or indexes and the averages of the funds included in its respective fund universe selected by Lipper, Inc. (each, a “Lipper Universe”), for the one-, three-, five-, ten- and 15-year and since inception periods ended December 31, 2022, as applicable. In addition, the Board reviewed the performance of each Fund compared to the average returns of certain funds (each, a “Peer Group” and collectively, the “Peer Groups”) in the Fund’s Lipper Universe selected by the Funds’ administrator based on the Fund’s total net assets, for the same periods. With respect to the performance results of the Funds, the Trustees noted that the meeting materials indicated as follows:

 

 

The Government Money Market Fund (Servicing Class) underperformed the average returns of the funds in the Lipper Institutional U.S. Government Money Market Objective Universe (by 0.15% or less) for the one-, three-, five-, ten- and 15-year and since inception periods. The Trustees observed that although the Fund underperformed the Lipper Universe average returns for the one-, three-, five- and ten-year periods, the Fund’s yield had steadily climbed as the Federal Reserve raised interest rates over the prior 12-month period, and that the Fund’s annualized returns had exceeded the Peer Group average returns over the one-, three-, five- and ten-year periods. The Trustees also considered the Adviser’s explanation that the Fund employed U.S. agency floating rate notes and shortened the Fund’s weighted average maturity, which enhanced the Fund’s gross yield.

 

 

The California Tax Exempt Bond Fund (Servicing Class) outperformed the average returns of the funds in the Lipper CA Short/Intermediate Municipal Debt Objective Universe for the ten- and 15-year and since inception periods, but underperformed the Lipper Universe average returns (by 1.07% or less) for the one-, three-, and five-year periods. The Fund underperformed the Bloomberg CA Intermediate-Short Municipal Index returns (by 0.88% or less) for the one-, three-, five-, ten-, and 15-year and since inception periods. The Trustees noted the Adviser’s explanation that the Fund’s underperformance relative to the Bloomberg CA Intermediate-Short Municipal Index for all periods was largely a result of the post-financial crisis and COVID-19 pandemic-induced low yield environment, which severely constrained the Fund’s opportunities to generate returns above its expense ratio. The Trustees considered the Adviser’s assertion that the Fund was positioned neutrally leading into 2022 to reflect the uncertainty regarding inflation and Federal Reserve interest rate hikes, and that although the tactical shift into out-of-benchmark maturities added to the Fund’s returns in 2021, such securities contributed negatively to performance in 2022 as the yield curve quickly shifted higher. The Trustees also considered that the Fund was scheduled to be liquidated.

 

 

The Municipal High Income Fund (Servicing Class) underperformed the average returns of the funds in the Lipper High Yield Municipal Classification Universe (by 1.86% or less), and the Bloomberg 60% Tax-Exempt High Yield/40% Municipal Investment Grade Custom Capped Custom Weighted Unhedged USD Index returns (by 4.00% or less) for the one-, three-, and five-year and since inception periods. The Trustees considered the Adviser’s explanation that the underperformance for the one-year period as compared to the Bloomberg 60% Tax-Exempt High Yield/40% Municipal Investment Grade Custom Capped Custom Weighted Unhedged USD Index and the Lipper High Yield Municipal Universe was largely due to the fact that the Fund’s average duration was longer than the average duration of the Index and many Peer Group funds. The Trustees also considered that the Fund sustained significant redemptions in 2022, which caused the Fund to sell bonds at suboptimal times and prices, and exacerbated the underperformance.

 

 

The Fixed Income Opportunities Fund (Class N) outperformed the Bloomberg Global Credit-Corp Total Return Hedged Index returns for the one- and three-year periods, but underperformed the Index returns (by 0.86% or less) for the five- and ten-year and since inception periods. The Fund underperformed the Blended Index (a hybrid index composed of 40% Bloomberg Multiverse Total Return Index Value Hedged USD, 35% S&P Global Leveraged Loan Index, and 25% Bloomberg Emerging Markets High Yield Index) returns (by 2.70% or less) and the Lipper Global High Yield Funds Classification

 

CITY NATIONAL ROCHDALE FUNDS | PAGE 132

 

 

 

 


 

 

Universe average returns (by 1.85% or less) for the one-, three-, five-, and ten-year and since inception periods. The Trustees considered the Adviser’s observation that although the Fund lagged the Lipper Universe average returns, the funds in the Lipper Universe generally do not have exposure to structured credit, leveraged loans, or emerging market bonds, which constitute nearly 70% of the Fund’s assets. The Trustees also considered the Adviser’s discussion of the challenges the emerging market sector faced as the value of the U.S. dollar rose and ongoing impacts from the COVID-19 pandemic lingered, which limited the non-developed world’s economic recovery.

 

 

The Equity Income Fund (Class N) outperformed the Blended Index (a customized index composed of 60% Dow Jones U.S. Select Dividend Index, 25% Bank of America ML Core Fixed Rate Preferred Securities Index and 15% MSCI U.S. REIT Index) return, the Lipper Equity Income Funds Classification Universe average return, and the S&P 500 Index return for the one-year period, but underperformed the Blended Index (by 2.39% or less), the Lipper Equity Income Funds Classification Universe average returns (by 2.73% or less), and the S&P 500 Index returns (by 4.75% or less) for the three-, five-, ten- and 15-year and since inception periods. The Equity Income Fund underperformed the Dow Jones U.S. Select Dividend Index returns (by 5.03% or less), for the one-, three-, five-, ten- and 15-year and since inception periods. The Trustees considered the Adviser’s explanation that the Fund’s underperformance for the one-year period was primarily due to its relative sector allocation, specifically the overweight allocation in real estate investment trusts, which weighed on relative returns despite being a source of material outperformance the prior year. The Trustees also considered that following the Adviser’s strategic review of the Fund in May 2021, the Fund’s performance ranked it in the top quartile of the funds in the Lipper Universe for the one-year period. The Trustees also observed that the Fund remained a Lipper Leader in capital preservation and expenses for all time periods.

 

 

The U.S. Core Equity Fund (Institutional Class) outperformed the average returns of the funds in the Lipper Large Cap Core Funds Classification Universe for the five-year and since inception periods, but underperformed the Lipper Universe average returns (by 1.70% or less) for the one- and three-year periods. The Fund underperformed the returns of the S&P 500 Index for the one-, three-, and five-year and since inception periods (by 1.80% or less). The Trustees considered the Fund’s underperformance of the Lipper Large Cap Core Funds Classification Universe and the S&P 500 Index for the trailing one-year period (net of fees), and the Adviser’s explanation that the Fund’s underperformance was attributable in part to being underweight in cyclical industry groups, including automobiles and components, retail, technology hardware and equipment, real estate, and semiconductors. The Trustees also considered the Adviser’s discussion of the Fund’s outperformance (net of fees) of its Lipper Universe and Peer Group average returns for the five- and ten-year periods.

 

The Board concluded that the Adviser continued to provide high quality management and oversight services to the Funds and the Irish Company. The Board noted that the investment results of the Funds over the long term were generally competitive; that the Adviser had given reasonable explanations for the performance of those Funds that had underperformed relative to their benchmarks and Peer Groups and had explained the impact of market conditions on the performance of the Funds; that the Adviser’s compliance team had made enhancements to the Funds’ compliance program during the past year; that the Adviser had replaced portfolio managers and/or sub-advisers for Funds or strategies that experienced performance challenges; that the results for the Government Money Market Fund compared to its Peer Group were acceptable given the special services and investment focuses of the Fund; and that consideration of returns of market indexes needed to take into account that indexes do not reflect the expenses of operating mutual funds.

 

Advisory Fees and Fund Expenses

 

The Board then reviewed information regarding the advisory fees (both before and after waivers) charged by the Adviser to each Fund, and the total expenses (net of fee waivers) for the last fiscal year of a share class of each Fund (as percentages of their respective average annual net assets), as applicable (“Total Expense Ratios”), compared to those of the funds included in its respective Lipper Universe and Peer Group, as applicable.

 

The Board observed that the meeting materials indicated as follows with respect to the Funds’ investment advisory fees (gross of fee waivers):

 

 

The gross advisory fees paid by the California Tax Exempt Bond Fund, Fixed Income Opportunities Fund, Equity Income Fund, and U.S. Core Equity Fund were below their respective Peer Group and Lipper Universe averages.

 

CITY NATIONAL ROCHDALE FUNDS | PAGE 133

 

 

 

board approval of advisory and sub-advisory agreements (Unaudited) (Continued)

 

 

 

The gross advisory fees paid by the Government Money Market Fund and Municipal High Income Fund were below their respective Lipper Universe averages, but above their respective Peer Group averages.

 

The Board noted that with the exception of the strategies listed below, the Adviser does not manage investment portfolios for other registered investment companies, pension funds, or institutional accounts that have similar investment objectives and policies as the Funds, so it did not have a basis to compare certain Funds’ advisory fees with advisory fees charged by the Adviser to other comparable client accounts. The Board also noted that the Adviser manages discretionary client account assets in the Core Equity, Equity Income, and California Tax Exempt strategies in accordance with investment policies similar to those of the U.S. Core Equity Fund, Equity Income Fund, and California Tax Exempt Bond Fund, respectively. The Trustees reviewed the Adviser’s fee schedules and concluded that the advisory fees charged to the U.S. Core Equity Fund, Equity Income Fund, and California Tax Exempt Bond Fund were generally in the range of, and in some instances lower than, the fees that the Adviser charged to manage client accounts using similar strategies as those used by those Funds. The Trustees considered the Adviser’s explanation that the fees published in its fee schedules are applicable to each client’s entire account, regardless of the strategies used to manage the assets in the account, and that such fees are subject to negotiation. The Trustees also noted that management of mutual fund assets requires compliance with certain requirements under the 1940 Act that do not apply to separate accounts that the Adviser manages. The Trustees also considered that any net advisory fees retained by the Adviser with respect to the Funds, after the payment of any sub-advisory fees, are rebated to shareholders investing in the Funds through separate accounts managed by the Adviser.

 

The Board observed that the meeting materials indicated as follows with respect to the Total Expense Ratios of each Fund (net of fee waivers):

 

 

The Total Expense Ratios of both the Institutional Class and Servicing Class of the U.S. Core Equity Fund were below its Peer Group and Lipper Universe averages.

 

 

The Total Expense Ratio of the Servicing Class of the Municipal High Income Fund was below its Lipper Universe average, but above its Peer Group average.

 

 

The Total Expense Ratios of Class N of the Government Money Market Fund, Fixed Income Opportunities Fund, Equity Income Fund, and U.S. Core Equity Fund; and the Servicing Class of the Government Money Market Fund and California Tax Exempt Bond Fund, were below their respective Peer Group averages, but above their respective Lipper Universe averages.

 

 

The Total Expense Ratios of Class N of the California Tax Exempt Bond Fund and Municipal High Income Fund were above both their respective Peer Group and Lipper Universe averages.

 

The Board concluded that the advisory fees charged by the Adviser were fair and reasonable in relation to the value of services provided, and the total expenses of each Fund continued to be reasonable in light of the services provided, noting the different expense structures and arrangements for shareholder services and distribution of the various classes of the Funds.

 

Profitability, Benefits to the Adviser and Economies of Scale

 

The Board next considered information prepared by the Adviser relating to its costs and profits with respect to the Funds for the year ended December 31, 2022. The Board also considered the benefits received by the Adviser and its affiliates as a result of the Adviser’s relationship with the Funds (other than the investment advisory fees paid to the Adviser), including fees paid to the Adviser, City National Bank (“CNB”), City National Securities, Inc., and CNR Securities, LLC for providing certain shareholder servicing and/or sub-distribution services to the Funds and/or their shareholders, as applicable; benefits to CNB’s brokerage and wealth management business as a result of the availability of the Funds to its customers; and any research received from broker-dealers that execute transactions on behalf of the Funds. The Trustees recognized the competitiveness of the registered fund industry and the importance of an investment adviser’s long-term profitability, including for maintaining management stability and accountability. The Board recognized the difficulty in evaluating an investment adviser’s profitability with respect to the funds it manages in the context of an adviser with multiple lines of business, and noted that other profitability methodologies might also be reasonable. The Board observed that the Adviser had not realized a profit with respect to the California Tax Exempt Bond Fund, and concluded that the profits of the Adviser from its relationships with the remaining Funds were reasonable.

 

The Board also considered potential economies of scale realized by the Adviser as the Funds grow and how any such economies are shared with the Funds, reviewing information prepared by the Adviser relating to the Trust’s assets, as well as the assets of each Fund. The Board considered the Adviser’s explanation that it shares any economies of scale achieved with Fund shareholders through means other than breakpoints, such as expense caps

 

CITY NATIONAL ROCHDALE FUNDS | PAGE 134

 

 

 

 


 

 

and fee waivers, and the investments that the Adviser made in its business over the past year, including devoting resources to innovation. Based on this explanation, the Board concluded that although there were no advisory fee breakpoints, the existing fee structure of each Fund reflected an appropriate sharing of any efficiencies or economies of scale to date and noted that it will have the opportunity to periodically reexamine the appropriateness of the advisory fees payable to the Adviser in light of any economies of scale experienced in the future.

 

Conclusion

 

The Board and the Independent Trustees concluded that, based on the various factors they had reviewed, the compensation payable to the Adviser under the advisory agreements was fair and reasonable in light of the nature and quality of the services the Adviser provided to the Funds and the Irish Company, and that renewal of the advisory agreements would be in the best interests of each Fund, the Irish Company, and their respective shareholders.

 

SUB-ADVISERS

 

Nature, Extent and Quality of Services

 

In reviewing the services provided by each Sub-Adviser, the Board considered a variety of matters, including the overall quality and depth of each Sub-Adviser’s organization and its overall financial strength and stability. The Board also considered, among other things, the investment operations and staff of each Sub-Adviser, its commitment to compliance with applicable laws and regulations and the Trust’s compliance policies and procedures, its portfolio trading and soft dollar practices, and its disaster recovery and contingency planning practices. In addition, the Board considered the background, education and experience of each Sub-Adviser’s key portfolio management and operational personnel, and each Sub-Adviser’s efforts to retain, attract and motivate capable personnel to serve the Fixed Income Opportunities Fund. The Board found all of these matters to be satisfactory.

 

Investment Performance

 

The Board reviewed information provided in the meeting materials setting forth the performance of the portion of the Fixed Income Opportunities Fund sub-advised by each Sub-Adviser compared with applicable benchmarks for various periods ended December 31, 2022. The Board made the following additional observations in reviewing the performance of the following Sub-Advisers of the Fixed Income Opportunities Fund:

 

 

The annualized returns for the portion of the Fund managed by Federated were above the returns of the Bloomberg U.S. Corporate High Yield Index for the one-, three-, and five-year periods.

 

 

The annualized returns for the leveraged loan portfolio of the Fund managed by Seix were above the returns of the S&P LSTA U.S. Leveraged Loan Index for the one- and three-year periods, and the Fund’s performance was the same as the Index for the five-year period.

 

 

The return for the high yield bond portfolio of the Fund managed by Seix was above the return of the Bloomberg U.S. Corporate High Yield Index for the one-year period.

 

 

The return for the portion of the Fund managed by T. Rowe Price (the main portfolio) was above the return of the ICE BofA High Yield U.S. Emerging Markets Corporate Plus Index for the one-year period. The return for the portion of the Fund managed by T. Rowe Price (the liquid portfolio) was above the return of the ICE BofA 0-1 Year Emerging Markets Corporate Plus Index for the one-year period.

 

The Board also considered and reviewed information related to the services AllFinancial provides in respect of life settlement policies held by the Fixed Income Opportunities Fund.

 

The Board noted that, while not all of the Sub-Advisers outperformed their respective benchmarks for the periods under evaluation, in each case the Adviser reviewed the Sub-Adviser’s performance relative to current market conditions and with an understanding of the Sub-Adviser’s style and philosophy. The Board considered the investment results of the Fixed Income Opportunities Fund to be generally competitive, and determined that each of AllFinancial, Federated, Seix, and T. Rowe Price continued to provide high quality sub-advisory services to the Fixed Income Opportunities Fund.

 

Sub-Advisory Fees and Benefits to Sub-Advisers

 

The Board reviewed information included in the meeting materials regarding the sub-advisory fees charged by each Sub-Adviser, and observed that the fees charged by each Sub-Adviser to the Fixed Income Opportunities Fund were generally equal to or lower than the fees it charged to its other advisory or sub-advisory clients, as applicable, to manage comparable mutual funds, private funds, and separate accounts. The Board noted that although certain Sub-Advisers charged lower fees to

board approval of advisory and sub-advisory agreements

(Unaudited) (Continued)

 

 

other mutual funds advised by the Sub-Advisers, those funds were significantly larger than the Fixed Income Opportunities Fund. The Trustees noted that the Adviser pays all sub-advisory fees out of its advisory fees. The Board also noted that the Adviser evaluates each Sub-Adviser’s fees relative to those of its respective asset class peer groups in an effort to ensure that they are reasonable and appropriate in light of the services provided. In addition, the Board considered the different advisory and sub-advisory fee splits of the Fixed Income Opportunities Fund, and noted the Adviser’s beliefs that the fees paid to the Sub-Advisers are priced at competitive levels, and that the overall advisory fees, gross advisory fees and sub-advisory fees are fair and reasonable in light of the services provided to the Funds by the Adviser and the Sub-Advisers, as applicable.

 

The Board also considered the benefits received by each Sub-Adviser and its affiliates as a result of its relationship with the Fixed Income Opportunities Fund (other than the sub-advisory fee paid to the Sub-Adviser), including any research services provided by broker-dealers providing execution services to the Fund, the intangible benefits of the Sub-Adviser’s association with the Fund generally, and any favorable publicity arising in connection with the Fund’s performance.

 

Conclusion

 

Based on their review, including their consideration of each of the factors referred to above, the Board and the Independent Trustees concluded that the compensation payable to each Sub-Adviser pursuant to its respective sub-advisory agreement was fair and reasonable in light of the nature and quality of the services provided by each Sub-Adviser to the Fixed Income Opportunities Fund, and that it would be in the best interests of the Fund and its shareholders to renew the sub-advisory agreements with each of AllFinancial, Federated, Seix, and T. Rowe Price.
