Dear Fellow Shareholders,
 
The first half of the fiscal year has been mired in worry. Against the backdrop of a looming interest rate increase by the Federal Reserve, which would be the first increase since June 29, 2006, the recent and sudden drop in oil prices and a strengthening U.S. dollar versus most worldwide currencies gave pause to an already moderate economic recovery.
 
Overseas, much of the developed world found themselves in the same situation that the U.S. was in six years ago. A potential default on bond payments by the Greek government on their 2010 bailout became a global focus. Quantitative easing by the European Central Bank and the Bank of Japan, and efforts by the Chinese government to stimulate their economy added to the Federal Reserve’s conundrum on the timing and magnitude of their monetary policy actions. It became quite apparent how interconnected global economies actually are.
 
Stocks, although volatile, generally fared well over the period. While U.S. markets lagged their European, Japanese, and Chinese counterparts, they were generally in line with the rest of the world as a whole. Major U.S. indexes hit all-time highs numerous times throughout the period despite lackluster corporate earnings, due to falling oil prices and a rising U.S. dollar.
 
Domestic bonds continued to do relatively well, as interest rates declined over the period. After an increase in the 10-year U.S. Treasury yield toward the beginning of the fiscal period, the yield fluctuated within a 75 basis point range to end lower than it began, as global economic concerns sent investors scurrying to the perceived safety of U.S. government bonds. Global bonds, on the other hand, struggled due to falling currencies relative to the U.S. dollar. In spite of quantitative easing in the Eurozone and Japan taking hold, the currency effect had a stronger impact on global bonds.
 
Looking forward, while the timing of a Federal Reserve interest rate increase remains elusive, we believe it is inevitable and have positioned our fixed income funds to respond accordingly.
 
Quantitative easing by our foreign developed market partners may position those equity markets to benefit in a similar manner as the U.S. equity markets have since our quantitative easing program began in 2008. To that extent, we feel we have sufficient investment options that may provide growth opportunities.
 
Holding true to our core investment philosophy as a risk-focused strategic investment adviser, we will continue to look for ways to grow your investments to the best of our abilities. We thank you for your continued trust and the confidence you have placed in us. We take that trust very seriously and look forward to servicing your investment needs for years to come.
 
Sincerely,

Dunham Corporate/Government Bond Fund
Message from the Sub-Adviser (Newfleet Asset Management, LLC)
 
Investment-grade bonds, as measured by the Barclays Aggregate Bond Index, gained 2.1 percent in the six-month period ended April 30, 2015 after a 2.4 percent increase during the previous fiscal six-month period. Treasuries in the middle of the yield curve, as measured by the BofA ML Treasuries 5-7 Years Index, ended the fiscal six-month period up 2.5 percent, while long-term Treasuries, as measured by the BofA ML Treasuries 10+ Years Index, saw an increase of 6.2 percent over the same six months. Corporate bonds, as measured by the BofA ML U.S. Corporate Bond Master Index, increased less than intermediate-term Treasury bonds, rising 2.2 percent over the fiscal six-month period. High-yield bonds, as measured by the BofA ML High-Yield Bond Cash Pay Index, gained 1.5 percent, underperforming the intermediate-term Treasury bonds by 1.0 percent during the period.
 
The Fund continued to balance risk versus reward by choosing to emphasize lower duration bonds and overweighting lower credit quality securities, in anticipation of rising interest rates which did not materialize. The Fund began the six-month period with an average effective duration of 4.47 years and ended the period with an average effective duration of 4.37 years, while the benchmark index had an average effective duration of 5.57 years and 5.47 years, respectively. This allocation generally detracted from performance of the Fund as Treasury yields fluctuated in a relatively wide range of 74 basis points. The 10-year Treasury yield went from a high of 2.39 percent in early November to a low of 1.64 percent at the end of January, before settling at 2.03 percent to end the fiscal six-month period. The overweight to corporate high-yield securities was the single largest contributor to performance over the fiscal quarter. The Sub-Adviser maintained an overweight to the sector, investing one-third of the Fund in such securities while the index held less than 1 percent.
 
Contributors over the fiscal six-month period included Catamaran Corporation 4.750% due 3/15/2021 (148887AA0) (holding percentage*: 0.17 percent), a provider of pharmacy benefits management services and healthcare IT solutions to the healthcare benefits management industry. The investment was up 12.9 percent over the period. General Electric Capital Corporation 5.250% due 6/29/2049 (369622ST3) (holding percentage*: 0.38 percent), provides financing, mortgage, and insurance services. The company offers commercial lending and leasing, consumer financing, investments in alternative energy, aircraft leasing and financing, and real estate investment services to customers worldwide. The bonds gained 6.2 percent over the fiscal six-month period.
 
Detractors over the fiscal six-month period included Pacific Rubiales Energy Corporation 5.375% due 1/26/2019 (69480UAH0) (holding percentage*: 0.25 percent), which focuses on the exploration, development and production of heavy crude oil, light and medium oil, and gas in Colombia. The company also has exploration blocks in Peru. The bonds were down 19.3 percent over the six-month period. Fieldwood Energy LLC 8.375% due 9/30/2020 (BL1112129) (holding percentage*: 0.19 percent), provides oil and gas services. The company explores, produces, and develops oil and natural gas throughout the United States. While the price of the bonds declined 19.5 percent over the entire fiscal period, the price has rebounded 29.3 percent since its low at the end of January.
 
The Sub-Adviser continued to heavily underweight government bonds which detracted from performance relative to the benchmark, despite a positive impact from security selection, as Treasuries rose over the fiscal six-month period.
 
The Fund’s investment-grade corporate bond holdings generally hindered performance. The slight outperformance of investment-grade corporate bonds in the Fund relative to the benchmark was primarily due to a lower duration bias. However, the Fund was underweight the sector relative to the benchmark, which detracted from performance for the fiscal six-month period.
 
The Sub-Adviser believes the U.S. economy will continue to grow and expects the Federal Reserve to begin increasing interest rates towards the end of the year. The Sub-Adviser believes that, although rates will rise, the increase will not be dramatic and will be good for bonds and spread sectors. In terms of spread sectors, the Sub-Adviser believes the credit fundamentals are positive and continue to offer a nice investment opportunity with low defaults, good interest rate coverage, and robust demand for fixed income. The Sub-Adviser feels the Fund is positioned to do well in that environment. The Sub-Adviser continues to emphasize liquidity and believes security selection will be very important to the Fund’s performance. The Sub-Adviser will continue to look for opportunities in all sectors of the bond market and uncover undervalued sectors and securities.

Dunham Monthly Distribution Fund
Message from the Sub-Adviser (Westchester Capital Management, LLC)
 
Compared to the beginning of the fiscal year, volatility began the most recent fiscal quarter at a higher level, but generally saw it dissipate as the first half of the fiscal year neared completion. The CBOE Volatility Index (“VIX”) stood at approximately 14 percent at the beginning of the fiscal year and ended the first fiscal quarter just below 21 percent. The volatility subsided through the majority of the most recent fiscal quarter, ending at 14.6 percent. As steep stock market declines often coincide with sharp increases in the VIX, the lower volatility levels generally resulted in fewer investors attempting to reduce risk and making indiscriminate sell decisions, as were more common in the previous fiscal quarter’s periods of heightened volatility. Therefore, as event-driven strategies, as measured by the Credit Suisse Event Driven Index, and market-neutral strategies, as measured by the IQ Hedge Market Neutral Beta Index, are not immune to negative marks-to-market, those declined 1.4 percent and 0.7 percent, respectively in the first fiscal quarter. However, during the most recent fiscal quarter event-driven and market neutral strategies rose 4.3 percent and 2.1 percent, respectively. Since the start of the fiscal year, event-driven and market neutral strategies both returned 2.8 percent.
 
During the six-month period ended April 30, 2015, merger arbitrage strategies, as measured by the Credit Suisse Merger Arbitrage Index, generally contributed positively to Fund performance, rising 2.3 percent. As many merger spreads had widened substantially during the more volatile months of the first fiscal quarter, many of those spreads contracted during the second fiscal quarter. For example, TRW Automotive Holdings (TRW) (holding percentage*: 5.20 percent), rose 1.8 percent during the most recent fiscal quarter as the deal with Germany-based auto parts and equipment company ZF Friedrichshafen AG progressed closer to the anticipated June 2015 closing date. The multi-year acquisition of Hudson City Bancorp Inc. (HCBK) (holding percentage*: 1.96 percent) by M&T Bank Corp. (MTB) (holding percentage*: 2.11 percent) also saw some contraction in the deal spread as HCBK rose 17.3 percent through the end of March while MTB rose 12.9 percent. However, April saw these spreads widen again as HCBK declined 11.3 percent and MTB declined 5.8 percent. Not all deals close and there were two large deals that terminated at the end of the most recent fiscal quarter. The stock-for-stock acquisition of Tokyo Electron Ltd. (TOELY) (holding percentage*: 1.20 percent) by fellow semiconductor equipment producer, Applied Materials Inc. (AMAT) (holding percentage*: 1.27 percent) was terminated due to U.S. antitrust concerns. The nearly $70 billion stock-for-stock acquisition of Time Warner Cable Inc. (TWC) (holding percentage*: 2.84 percent) by Comcast Corp. (CMCSA / CMCSK) (holding percentage*: 0.56 percent) was also terminated due to antitrust concerns just one week shy of the end of the fiscal quarter.
 
Special situations served as one of the strongest performers in the Fund during the first fiscal quarter, and continued to benefit the Fund on an absolute level during the most recent fiscal quarter. In addition, it served as the second-largest allocation during the six-month period. The Sub-Adviser generally implements risk-reversals, a risk-management technique using call and put options, on these positions in order to help keep the risk within bounds that the Sub-Adviser is comfortable with. Special situation event positions that were of note over the past six-month period included Hertz Global Holdings, Inc.’s (HTZ) (holding percentage*: 1.69 percent) spin-off of its equipment rental business; eBay Inc.’s (EBAY) (holding percentage*: 1.13 percent) spin-off of PayPal, Inc.; and Occidental Petroleum Corp. (OXY) (holding percentage*: 0.68 percent), spinning off its California exploration and production assets (California Resources Corp). Although many of these holdings aided Fund performance, some of those holdings detracted, such as Hertz Global Holdings, Inc., which declined 6.4 percent during the previous fiscal quarter. A significant portion of those particular losses were recovered in the most recent fiscal quarter as HTZ rose 1.6 percent. During the six-month period, buy/write strategies, as measured by the CBOE S&P 500 Buy/Write Index, rose 4.1 percent. The difference in utilizing a risk-reversal instead of a buy/write strategy is that it uses the majority of the proceeds of the written call to purchase protective put options. Therefore, in the declining periods of the most recent fiscal quarter the risk-reversal generally helped to reduce the downside (leaving less to be recovered).
 
The Sub-Adviser continued to maintain a small position in credit opportunities during the period. The strategy as a whole generally contributed to Fund performance as broad corporate bonds, as measured by the Bank of America Merrill Lynch Corporate Bond Master Index, rose 2.2 percent. This increase included the 1.0 percent decline that occurred in the second fiscal quarter. However, within the Fund, holdings such as the corporate bond issued by Pacnet Ltd. (BH5M0H6) (holding percentage*: 0.82 percent), a global telecommunications and internet services company, aided positive performance during the second fiscal quarter. The Pacnet Ltd. bond returned 5.8 percent during the second fiscal quarter, as the 9.0 percent coupon coupled with an increase in price boosted returns.
 
The Sub-Adviser continues to believe that companies and their boards are confident and their event driven activities are supported by low funding costs, the availability of leverage and, most importantly, corporate balance sheets are robust - all of which the Sub-Adviser believes will strongly support mergers and acquisitions and other strategic event activity going forward.

IQ Hedge Market Neutral Beta Index is a benchmark index designed to replicate the risk-adjusted return characteristics of the collective hedge funds using a market neutral investment style. Investors cannot invest directly in an index or benchmark.
The Morningstar Multialternative Category is generally representative of mutual funds with static allocations to alternative strategies and mutual funds that tactically allocate among alternative strategies and asset classes. The gross short exposure in these mutual funds is generally greater than 20%.
 
 As disclosed in the Trust’s latest registration statement, the Fund’s total annual operating expenses before any fee waiver, including the cost of underlying funds, are 2.72% for Class N, 3.72% for Class C and 2.97% for Class A. Class A shares are subject to a sales load of 5.75% and a deferred sales charge of up to 0.75%. The performance data quoted here represents past performance, which is not indicative of future results. Current performance may be lower or higher than the performance data quoted. The investment return and NAV will fluctuate, so that an investor’s shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. Total returns are calculated assuming reinvestment of all dividends and capital gains distributions, if any. The returns do not reflect the deductions of taxes a shareholder would pay on the redemption of fund shares or fund distributions.

Dunham Floating Rate Bond Fund
Message from the Sub-Adviser (Newfleet Asset Management, LLC)
 
Interest rates saw significant fluctuations during the first half of the fiscal year. While interest rates generally declined in the first fiscal quarter, they generally increased through the second fiscal quarter The yield on 10-year Treasuries began the fiscal year at 2.33 percent, ended the first fiscal quarter at 1.68 percent, then finished the six-month period at 2.04 percent. While the fall in rates generally coincided with diminishing interest in bank loans, especially from retail investors, the more recent rise in rates did allow for some support to return to the bank loan market. Institutional investors have generally continued to increase their bank loan positions, offsetting most of the impact of the negative retail flows in the previous fiscal quarters. The London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) fluctuated similarly to Treasury yields during the six-month period, but ended the period slightly higher. Three-month LIBOR began the fiscal year at 0.23 percent, ended the first fiscal quarter at 0.25 percent, and finished the six-month period at 0.28 percent. Bank loans, as measured by the S&P / LSTA Leveraged Loan Index, increased 2.3 percent during the six-month period, falling 0.4 percent during the first fiscal quarter and then rising 2.7 percent in the second fiscal quarter.
 
While bank loans on average have traditionally traded close to par, those prices had fallen to approximately $96 on average during the first three months of the fiscal year, before seeing some recovery during the second fiscal quarter. Therefore, the Sub-Adviser believes this makes bank loans in general an even more attractive opportunity. With price levels trading between 1.0 percent and 2.0 percent (or more) below recent historical averages, the Sub-Adviser is optimistic about the asset class’ potential as interest rates rise and investor sentiment towards the loan space allows the prices to rebound to historical averages. Many of the drivers of positive performance within the Fund were holdings that had a price of $90 or lower at the start of the most recent fiscal quarter. These included some energy-related bank loans such as Fieldwood Energy LLC (BL1112129) (holding percentage*: 0.20 percent) and Templar Energy LLC (BL1163635) (holding percentage*: 0.19 percent). Both of these securities experienced significant declines during the first fiscal quarter when many energy-related securities were significantly impacted as investors fled from anything that had a relationship with falling oil prices. These bank loans issued by Fieldwood Energy LLC and Templar Energy LLC appreciated 29.3 percent and 25.2 percent, respectively during the most recent fiscal quarter.
 
The yields on bank loans, as measured by the S&P / LSTA Leveraged Loan 100 Index, continued to fluctuate opposite to broader Treasury yield movements during the first half of the fiscal year. Bank loans in general began the fiscal year with a yield-to-maturity of 4.8 percent, approximately 1.4 percent less than their traditional high-yield bond counterparts, as measured by the BofA Merrill Lynch High-Yield Bond Cash Pay Index. Bank loans outperformed traditional high-yield bonds over the six-month period by 0.8 percent, outperforming in the first fiscal quarter by 1.1 percent, but then underperforming traditional high-yield bonds in the second fiscal quarter by 0.3 percent. This performance differential during the six-month period generally increased the yield gap between the bank loans and traditional high-yield bonds. At the end of the six-month period, the yields on bank loans stood at 4.8 percent and traditional high-yield bonds ended at 6.3 percent. The Fund held approximately 7 percent of its assets in traditional high-yield bonds, which generally aided relative performance during the period.
 
The Sub-Adviser has continued to hold positions in both the traditional bond and the bank loan for the same issuer. For example, the Fund currently holds the traditional bond (184502BT8) (holding percentage*: 0.08 percent) of Clear Channel Communications, Inc., a mobile and on-demand entertainment provider, as well as the company’s first lien term bank loan (BL1008384) (holding percentage*: 1.59 percent). The bank loan increased 2.8 percent while the traditional bond rose only 0.8 percent during the most recent fiscal quarter. The results were switched in the first fiscal quarter when the bank loan increased 0.8 percent and the traditional bond increased close to 7.1 percent.
 
The Sub-Adviser continued to focus on higher rated first lien loans within the bank loan space, limiting its exposure to bank loans rated CCC and lower. The exposure to lower-rated loans and second lien loans has been limited to instances where the Sub-Adviser has determined that the additional reward is expected to significantly outweigh the additional risk. For example, it continued to hold the CCC-rated bank loans issued by Blue Coat Systems Inc. (BL1028440) (holding percentage*: 0.25 percent), a web security software provider. The CCC-rated second lien term loan issued by Blue Coat Systems Inc. fell close to 0.1 percent in the first fiscal quarter, then appreciated 0.7 percent in the second fiscal quarter, contributing to positive performance but detracting from relative performance during the six-month period. The Sub-Adviser’s analysis of recovery expectations for each holding has also been beneficial to the Fund. For example, Caesars Entertainment Operating Co., Inc. (BL1302209) (holding percentage*: 0.15 percent), a casino, restaurant, and convention-space operator, defaulted on its debt during the first fiscal quarter. Although the bank loans traded below $88 during the fiscal quarter, the price rebounded to almost $90 by the end of January. By the end of the second fiscal quarter, the bank loans traded above $92, further contributing to the absolute performance of the Fund.
 
The Sub-Adviser remains optimistic that interest rates in general will eventually rise, and that bank loan investors may benefit from a highly-correlated increase in LIBOR. As headlines continue to disagree on when this rise may occur and every word of the Federal Open Market Committee is carefully dissected for some hint of a timeframe, the Sub-Adviser remains encouraged by the positioning of the bank loan market.

 The S&P/LSTA U.S. Leveraged Loan 100 Index is designed to reflect the performance of the largest facilities in the leveraged loan market. Investors cannot invest directly in an index or benchmark.
The Morningstar Bank Loan Category is generally representative of mutual funds that primarily invest in floating-rate bank loans instead of bonds. These bank loans generally offer interest payments that typically float above a common short-term benchmark such as the London interbank offered rate, or LIBOR.
 
 
As disclosed in the Trust’s latest registration statement, the Fund’s total annual operating expenses, including cost of underlying funds, are 1.29% for Class N, 2.04% for Class C and 1.54% for Class A. Class A shares are subject to a sales load of 4.50% and a deferred sales charge of up to 0.75%. The performance data quoted here represents past performance, which is not indicative of future results. Current performance may be lower or higher than the performance data quoted. The investment return and NAV will fluctuate, so that an investor’s shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. Total returns are calculated assuming reinvestment of all dividends and capital gains distributions, if any. The returns do not reflect the deductions of taxes a shareholder would pay on the redemption of fund shares or fund distributions.

Dunham High-Yield Bond Fund
Message from the Sub-Adviser (PENN Capital Management Company, Inc.)
 
High-yield bonds, as measured by the BofA ML High-Yield Bond Cash Pay Index, underperformed investment-grade corporate bonds, as measured by the BofA ML Corporate Master Index, and Treasury bonds, as measured by the BofA ML US Treasury Master Index over the six-months ended April 30, 2015. Interest rates decreased during the fiscal period, which benefitted longer duration bonds while shorter duration bonds suffered. During this fiscal period, Treasury bonds increased 2.3 percent, corporate bonds increased 2.2 percent, while high-yield bonds increased 1.5 percent.
 
Interest rates on 10-year Treasury bonds fluctuated within a 74 basis point range over the fiscal six-month period. The 10-year Treasury yield went from a high of 2.39 percent in early November to a low of 1.64 percent at the end of January, before settling at 2.03 percent to end the fiscal six-month period. The Fund’s single-B focus and shorter duration bias hampered performance in the six-month period ended April 30, 2015, as double-B rated bonds and longer duration credit generally outperformed. During the fiscal quarter, bonds rated single-B were up 1.4 percent, bonds rated double-B increased 2.4 percent, while those rated triple-C and below lost 1.0 percent. Currently, the Fund has approximately 60 percent invested in single-B rated credit and 40 percent in double-B rated debt. At this time, the Sub-Adviser holds no triple-C rated bonds as default rates on below investment-grade bonds are near historic lows and if they rise, bonds rated triple-C and lower could be adversely affected.
 
The Fund continued to maintain a shorter duration relative to the benchmark index, with a bias toward the intermediate segment of the credit curve that matures in three to seven years and historically has exhibited less volatility. The average duration of positions held by the Fund remained steady from the beginning of the fiscal six-month period to end at 3.9 years versus bonds in the benchmark index, which began the fiscal period at 4.0 years and ended at 4.2 years. Bonds that have a maturity of more than 10 years have generally been avoided unless purchased at a significant discount to par.
 
While the Sub-Adviser had an underweight to the metals and mining sector, the sector outperformed relative to the benchmark and was one of the top performing sectors for the Fund over the six-month period ended April 30, 2015. A contributor from this sector was Alcoa, Inc. (013817AW1) (holding percentage*: 0.91 percent), a producer of primary and fabricated aluminum, a miner of bauxite, and refiner of alumina. The bonds gained 4.7 percent return in the Fund over the period.
 
The energy sector had the largest negative impact on the Fund, as both security selection and an overweight to the sector relative to the benchmark detracted from performance over the six-month period ended April 30, 2015. The Sub-Adviser reduced overall exposure to the energy sector over the fiscal period, from 20.1 percent at the beginning to 13.0 percent by the end. A firm that detracted from performance was Chaparral Energy, Inc. (15942RAD1) (holdings percentage*: 0.43 percent), a provider of oil and gas services. The company offers acquisition, exploration, development, production, and operation of oil and gas production sites to customers throughout the United States. The bonds lost 14.9 percent over the fiscal six-month period.
 
Going forward, the Sub-Adviser expects moderate gross domestic product growth of between 2 to 3 percent; U.S. economic momentum will continue due to gradual improvements in consumer confidence, the housing market, and the unemployment rate; and real interest rates and inflation should remain low, albeit increasing in line with Fed expectations. The Sub-Adviser expects strong high-yield, ex-energy, credit fundamentals and interest coverage ratios will help keep default rates low despite modestly rising leverage and believes spreads have room to compress and returns have upside, the degree of which will depend on Treasuries and oil prices. The Fund plans to focus on middle tier, single-B quality with a tactical allocation to bank loans, convertibles, and lower quality. Any pull-back in the high-yield market due to interest rate volatility should be considered a buying opportunity.

BofA ML BB-B U.S. Non-Distressed HY Index is an unmanaged portfolio constructed to mirror the public high-yield corporate debt market and is a subset of the Merrill Lynch High Yield Master II Index. Investors cannot invest directly in an index or benchmark.
The Morningstar High-Yield Category is generally representative of mutual funds that primarily invest in U.S. high-income debt securities where at least 65% or more of bond assets are not rated or are rated by a major agency such as Standard & Poor’s or Moody’s at the level of BB (considered speculative for taxable bonds) and below. 
As disclosed in the Trust’s latest registration statement, the Fund’s total annual operating expenses, including the cost of underlying funds, are 1.09% for Class N, 1.84% for Class C and 1.34% for Class A. Class A shares are subject to a sales load of 4.50% and a deferred sales charge of up to 0.75%. The performance data quoted here represents past performance, which is not indicative of future results. Current performance may be lower or higher than the performance data quoted. The investment return and NAV will fluctuate, so that an investor’s shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. Total returns are calculated assuming reinvestment of all dividends and capital gains distributions, if any. The returns do not reflect the deductions of taxes a shareholder would pay on the redemption of fund shares or fund distributions.

Dunham International Opportunity Bond Fund
Message from the Sub-Adviser (Rogge Global Partners PLC)
 
Catalysts for growth within international bonds were scarce over the fiscal six-month period as low levels of interest rates resulted in relatively muted global growth. Additionally, lower oil prices, the lack of velocity in the money supply, subdued inflation, and a monetary policy tilt to be accommodative to bond buying especially in Germany, Japan, and Sweden made it a difficult environment for this asset class. International bonds, as measured by the Barclays Global Aggregate ex-U.S. Bond Index, fell 4.8 percent over the fiscal six-month period ended April 30, 2015. When compared with the United States’ bond market, as measured by the Barclays U.S. Aggregate Bond Index, global bonds underperformed during the fiscal period as U.S. bonds increased 2.06 percent.
 
Emerging market countries and corporations broadly borrowed large sums of money right after the recession at the end of 2009. Now that there has been a slowdown these same countries and corporations are being squeezed to repay the debt in a external currency. Additionally, the commodity slow down coupled with the moderate growth in developed markets, and their own deleveraging has kept emerging market growth slow. The international bond asset class was primarily hurt by the weaker performance of emerging market bonds, as measured by the Barclays Emerging Markets ex-U.S. Aggregate Bond Index, in the first three month of the fiscal period by declining 8.8 percent, but contributed to performance the final three months by increasing 9 percent.
 
The Sub-Adviser implements a four step investment process using four key macroeconomic factors in four major asset classes to achieve returns in five unique areas. The four macroeconomic factors are: global economic outlook, inflation, interest rates, and event risk. The four major asset classes are: developed sovereign (government debt), investment grade credit (corporate debt), high-yield, and emerging markets. The four-step investment process has the following stages: assess relative value, risk management, micro-level analysis, and implementation. Finally, the five return components are: country, currency, yield curve, duration, and spread/sector. The Sub-Adviser seeks to identify healthy countries by measuring the sustainability of public borrowing in the private sector as well as the effectiveness and credibility of that nation’s authorities.
 
Over the six-month fiscal period, the largest currency exposure within the Fund was its exposure to the U.S. dollar. As the U.S. bull market remained in place over the fiscal period despite a narrowing of the growth gap within developed markets, this significant exposure contributed to the relative performance of the Fund. Although the Sub-Adviser increased the allocation to the Euro over the fiscal period, it is still relatively underweight. Along with the Euro, the Fund’s underweighting to the British pound contributed positively to performance over the fiscal period. The overweight to the Canadian dollar detracted from Fund performance and was closed out by the Sub-Adviser by the end of the most recent fiscal period. For the second consecutive six-month fiscal period, the Sub-Adviser’s currency selection was the largest contributor to performance.
 
Overall, the Sub-Adviser’s country selection contributed to the Fund’s performance over the fiscal period. The overweight to Europe contributed positively to performance while the underweight to Japan slightly detracted. For example, the United Kingdom 4.5% Due 12/7/2042 JD7 (B1VPJ5) (holding percentage*: 1.48 percent) increased 7.9 percent over the most recent fiscal six-month period while the Japan -287 1.9% Due 6/20/2017 (B232YG0) (holding percentage*: 2.78 percent) decreased 0.8 percent. As mentioned above, the asset class was helped by the strong performance of emerging market bonds and the Sub-Adviser’s allocation to this space also positively contributed to Fund performance. An emerging market holding that contributed positively to the Fund was the Republic of Indonesia 144A 2.88% Due 7/8/2021 Ann-7/8 (BP0S1C7) (holding percentage*: 0.33 percent) which increased 3.1 percent over the most recent six-month fiscal period. An allocation that detracted from the Fund’s performance over the most recent fiscal period was the allocation to inflation-linked bonds.
 
The Sub-Adviser believes that the key risks moving forward are further volatility in commodities, the strong U.S. dollar hurting the earnings of foreign countries that have debt denominated in U.S. Dollar, poor liquidity, and a materially weaker-than-expected global growth. Even amid these risks, the Sub-Adviser is optimistic of the coming fiscal period and beyond. The U.S. is still waiting on data to determine when to raise interest rates and the Sub-Adviser believes the economic data is unclear. It also believes that some employment numbers look favorable but some of the manufacturing numbers have been damaged. Additionally, the drop in the gasoline price has not been spent by consumers, it has been saved which to the Sub-Adviser this paints a picture of an economy that still in the throes of deleveraging and it does not expect stronger economic growth above that trend.

Dunham Dynamic Macro Fund
Message from the Sub-Adviser (Mellon Capital Management Corporation)
 
Global equity markets showed strength early in the fiscal six-month period as a result of various political and central bank actions that influenced the market significantly. Geopolitical risk fell off as Ukraine and Russia agreed to a cease fire and 15 central banks engaged in some form of quantitative easing, spurring a rally in global stocks. Significant divergence occurred within equity markets among various regions particularly with respect to Asia, Europe, and North America, which the Sub-Adviser believes should benefit global macro strategies as this is dispersion potentially makes these investment opportunities more rewarding. Later in the fiscal period the U.S. began reporting lackluster economic data and relatively weak earnings releases. In contrast, the Euro zone displayed weakness through the end of 2014 and the beginning of 2015, but reversed course in the most recent months and showed positive economic momentum and improved company earnings. Global macro strategies, as measured by the IQ Hedge Global Macro Beta Index, increased 0.1 percent over the most recent fiscal six-month period ended April 30, 2015. Bonds started the fiscal period strong but were relatively flat to close the fiscal six-month period. Bonds, as measured by the Barclays Aggregate Bond Index, increased 2.1 percent. The performance of emerging market equities, as measured by the MSCI Emerging Markets Index, had a volatile six-month period declining 5.1 percent the first three months and increasing 9.5 percent in the fiscal three months to close out the six-month period.
 
The Sub-Adviser seeks to construct a balanced growth portfolio that aims to deliver equity-like total returns with reduced risk and improved downside control. It attempts to achieve this goal by utilizing a multi-asset strategy that allocates dynamically across global equities, bonds, and real assets. The current strategy’s exposure is broken down into three different categories: growth assets which include developed market equities, emerging market equities, high-yield bonds, and emerging market debt; hedging assets which include developed and emerging market currency, global cash equivalents, investment grade bonds, and global developed and sovereign bonds; and real assets which include global commodities, global inflation-linked bonds, and inflation-sensitive derivatives.
 
In the first three months of the fiscal six-month period, the hedging assets contributed positively to the performance of the Fund by keeping balance in a volatile period amid geopolitical concerns, the beginning of quantities easing in Europe, and a relatively disappointing beginning to the calendar fourth quarter’s earnings season. In the subsequent three months the Sub-Adviser was able to enhance the returns in the hedging assets by being long U.S. bonds and short Euro bunds. Despite the enhancement and consistent performance, the hedging assets detracted from absolute performance over the final three months of the six-month performance as markets rallied.
 
The growth asset strategy exposure was the strongest contributor to the performance of the Fund over the most recent fiscal six-month period. The largest allocation in this strategy, developed ex-U.S. equities, were the best performers within this category. Many of these countries also benefited from a cheaper relative currency, specifically to aide in the increase in exports. One of the best performing holdings was the Fund’s investment in Hong Kong. The Sub-Adviser believes that this is partially attributed to the expansionary action of the Bank of China, which lowered the required reserve ratio by roughly 100 basis points. Additionally, the lifting of investments restrictions on Chinese investors may have also spurred markets in the area. A Fund position that tracks this market is the Hang Seng Index Future May 2015 (HIK5) (holding percentage*: 0.01 percent) which increased 12.9 percent over the month of April alone. The U.S. equity exposure within the Fund contributed to relative performance but detracted from absolute performance over the fiscal six- month period. The SPDR S&P 500 ETF Trust (SPY) (holding percentage*: 17.20 percent) increased 4.4 percent over the fiscal period. Additionally, the Fund’s exposure to emerging markets had a similar effect to the Fund, contributing to relative performance but detracting from the absolute performance. The iShares MSCI Emerging Markets Index (EEM) (holding percentage*: 4.61 percent) climbed 3.1 percent over the most recent six-month period.
 
The real assets strategy exposure detracted from performance in the first three months which is mainly attributed to the Fund’s exposure to commodities. OPEC (Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries) producers chose to maintain market share rather than curb productions. As a result of this, supply is expected to continue to outpace demand over the next year which could be a bearish signal for the commodity; however oil prices slightly rebounded in the final three months of the fiscal period. Over the six-month fiscal period, the Powershares DB Commodity Index Tracking Fund (DBC) (holding percentage*: 6.59 percent) decreased 18.1 percent.
 
The Sub-Adviser is optimistic for the coming fiscal quarter and fiscal year. The Sub-Adviser believes that this volatility-targeted strategy may provide the investor with more consistent returns than traditional asset classes. It believes that through the flexibility of the strategy and the use of alternative investments the Fund may provide equity-like returns with lower beta and less correlation than traditional equity investments.

The Morningstar Long/Short Equity Category is generally representative of mutual funds that primarily invest in both long and short positions in equities and related derivatives.
As disclosed in the Trust’s latest registration statement, the Fund’s total annual operating expenses, including underlying funds, are 4.05% for Class N, 5.05% for Class C and 4.30% for Class A. Class A shares are subject to a sales load of 5.75% and a deferred sales charge of up to 0.75%. The performance data quoted here represents past performance, which is not indicative of future results. Current performance may be lower or higher than the performance data quoted. The investment return and NAV will fluctuate, so that an investor’s shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost.

Dunham Alternative Strategy Fund
Message from the Sub-Adviser (Market Concepts, LLC)
 
Although managed futures strategies generally cover a diverse array of asset classes, most of the returns during the first half of the fiscal year were highly correlated with the price movements in the energy markets. In the first fiscal quarter, managed futures strategies, as measured by the Credit Suisse Managed Futures Liquid Index, surged 20.1 percent as oil prices plummeted. The second fiscal quarter was less dramatic as managed futures declined 1.2 percent. While the previous fiscal quarter’s gain was primarily attributable to the index reflecting strong gains in the short oil and long bond trends that exponentially increased during that fiscal quarter, those asset classes generally had a less dramatic impact in the most recent fiscal quarter. Domestic equity markets, as measured by the S&P 500 Index, generally saw an increase during the six-month period, rising 4.4 percent. Emerging markets equities, as measured by the MSCI Emerging Markets Index, showed modest performance over the same time period, up 3.9 percent. However, this moderate overall return was not indicative of the excitement that emerging markets equities experienced during the period as they had a weak first fiscal quarter, falling 5.1 percent, followed by a strong second fiscal quarter, up 9.5 percent. Foreign developed markets, as measured by the MSCI EAFE Index, had a similar experience as they rose 8.8 percent in the second fiscal quarter after dropping 3.1 percent in the first fiscal quarter. With the diversified nature of managed futures, exposure to multiple asset classes may provide non-correlated returns as reflected in the performance of the Credit Suisse Managed Futures Liquid Index. The Sub-Adviser continues to believe that the trend conditions of the various asset classes offer the Fund an advantageous investment environment on the back-drop of the multiple year divergence that has occurred between the domestic equity markets and other investment asset classes.
 
Commodities, as measured by the Thomson Reuters / Jefferies CRB Commodity index, fell 15.6 percent during the six-month period. Commodities in general rose 4.9 percent in the second fiscal quarter after dropping 19.5 percent in the first fiscal quarter. As the negative sloping trends in oil from the first fiscal quarter generally abated and gave way to an overall positive performance in February, the Sub-Adviser did implement short-term oriented positions designed to capture the inverse performance of oil such as the ProShares UltraShort Bloomberg Crude Oil ETF (SCO) (holding percentage**: 0.96 percent). As March gave way to additional declines in energy prices, including oil, the Fund generally benefitted from these positions. The price of crude oil generally rose during the second fiscal quarter, experiencing a rise of 23.6 percent, albeit from significantly suppressed levels suffered in the first fiscal quarter. The Sub-Adviser continued to attempt to exploit trends in gold prices, using the PowerShares DB Gold Short ETN (DGZ) (holding percentage*: 3.43 percent), which attempts to replicate the inverse performance of gold price movements. The PowerShares DB Gold Short ETN had decreased 9.5 percent in the first fiscal quarter but rose 8.2 percent in the second recent fiscal quarter as gold reversed its overall direction.
 
Among U.S. equities, the Sub-Adviser continued to implement various U.S. sector ETFs during the six-month period such as the Utilities Select Sector SPDR Fund (XLU) (holding percentage**: 5.96 percent), Health Care Select Sector SPDR Fund (XLV) (holding percentage**: 1.89 percent), and Consumer Staples Select Sector SPDR Fund (XLP) (holding percentage**: 4.43 percent). During the six-month period, the Health Care Select Sector SPDR Fund and Consumer Staples Select Sector SPDR Fund rose 7.3 percent and 4.9 percent, respectively, while the Utilities Select Sector SPDR Fund declined 1.1 percent. However, the Sub-Adviser generally exited these holdings during February and March once the trend was considered over. The Sub-Adviser was unable to avoid the losses sustained in the Utilities Select Sector SPDR Fund, but did capture the majority of the gains in the Health Care Select Sector SPDR Fund and Consumer Staples Select Sector SPDR Fund, as these two ETFs saw the largest portion of the overall gains in the first two months of the second fiscal quarter.
 
Foreign investing provided more consistent positive performance in the second fiscal quarter than in the first fiscal quarter, and proved to be one of the strongest contributors to the Fund’s return in the second fiscal quarter. In contrast to the first fiscal quarter, the Sub-Adviser found significantly rewarding opportunities in short-term trends in broad emerging markets through the iShares MSCI Emerging Markets ETF (EEM) (holding percentage**: 14.94 percent). While the iShares MSCI Emerging Markets ETF fell 6.2 percent in the first fiscal quarter, it rose 9.9 percent in the second recent fiscal quarter. When considering other developing countries, the iShares China Large-Cap ETF (FXI) (holding percentage*: 2.48 percent) surged 24.5 percent in the second fiscal quarter alone, outpacing the broad emerging markets ETF. On the developed country front, the Fund held positions in two currency-hedged ETFs focused on developed Europe: Deutsche X-Trackers MSCI Europe Hedged Equity ETF (DBEU) (holding percentage*: 1.10 percent); and WisdomTree Europe Hedged Equity Fund (HEDJ) (holding percentage*: 2.27 percent). The Deutsche X-Trackers MSCI Europe Hedged Equity ETF and WisdomTree Europe Hedged Equity Fund increased 12.4 percent and 18.6 percent, respectively during the six-month period.
 
The Sub-Adviser’s discipline of investing in established trends that meet strict requirements provided mixed results for the Fund’s performance relative to the benchmark index, detracting from relative performance in the first fiscal quarter and aiding relative performance in the second fiscal quarter. This was primarily due to the Sub-Adviser finding opportunities across a diverse group of investments surrounding various asset classes and sectors, which helps to explain the underperformance in the first fiscal quarter when a single section of the commodities market experienced what many have considered an anomaly that singlehandedly influenced the index performance.

The Dow Jones Credit Suisse Managed Futures Liquid Index allocates assets among four major asset classes (equities, fixed-income, commodities and currencies) represented by 18 trading vehicles using a methodology that, in part, seeks to replicate a managed futures strategy that historically has produced gains during periods of rising and declining markets. Investors cannot invest directly in an index or benchmark.
The Morningstar Managed Futures Category is generally representative of funds that trade liquid global futures, options, swaps, and foreign exchange contracts, both listed and over-the-counter. A majority of these funds follow trend-following, price-momentum strategies. 

As disclosed in the Trust’s latest registration statement, the Fund’s total annual operating expenses before and after fee waiver, including underlying funds, are 2.10% for Class N, 3.10% for Class C and 2.35% for Class A. Class A shares are subject to a sales load of 5.75% and a deferred sales charge of up to 0.75%. The performance data quoted here represents past performance, which is not indicative of future results. Current performance may be lower or higher than the performance data quoted. The investment return and NAV will fluctuate, so that an investor’s shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. Total returns are calculated assuming reinvestment of all dividends and capital gains distributions, if any. The returns do not reflect the deductions of taxes a shareholder would pay on the redemption of fund shares or fund distributions.

Dunham Appreciation & Income Fund
Message from the Sub-Adviser (PENN Capital Management Company, Inc.)
 
Convertible securities, as measured by the Bank of America/Merrill Lynch All Convertibles All Qualities Index, increased 3.9 percent in the six-month period ended April 30, 2015. Convertibles underperformed broader equity indexes, such as the S&P 500 Index, which rose 4.4 percent during the same time period. Convertible securities substantially outperformed bonds in general, as the Barclays Aggregate Bond Index increased 2.1 percent.
 
Over the fiscal six-months ended April 30, 2015, the Sub-Adviser’s credit quality allocation went from approximately 6 percent to investment grade convertible bonds, approximately 11 percent to non-investment grade convertible bonds, and approximately 81 percent of the Fund to non-rated convertibles at the beginning of the period to approximately 7 percent to investment grade convertible bonds, approximately 16 percent to non-investment grade convertible bonds, and 73 percent of the Fund to non-rated convertibles at the end of the period. Although the Sub-Adviser reduced the allocation to non-rated securities by the end of the fiscal period, they still see opportunities in that segment and believe they will be able to create more alpha by exploiting higher inefficiencies in these non-rated securities that are less followed by analysts.
 
The technology sector was the single largest contributing sector to the Fund over the fiscal six-month period. The slight underweight to the sector was suppressed by security selection, which was stellar in the sector over the time period, as the sector return in the portfolio was nearly five times that of the benchmark index. A contributor from the sector was ON Semiconductor Corporation (682189AH8) (holding percentage*: 2.06 percent), a supplier of analog, standard logic, and discrete semiconductors for data and power management. The stock gained 39.0 percent over the fiscal period while the convertible bond gained 14.0 percent.
 
The consumer discretionary sector had the single largest negative impact on the Fund over the fiscal six-month period. While an underweight of 250 basis points to the sector relative to the benchmark may have aided the Fund, security selection from the sector had a net negative impact on the Fund. A detractor from this sector was Iconix Brand Group, Inc. (451055AF4) (holding percentage**: 0.79 percent), a company that licenses its brand names to retailers and manufacturers throughout the world. The stock lost 32.3 percent over the fiscal six-month period while the convertible bond lost 22.3 percent before the Sub-Adviser exited all positions in late April.
 
Going forward, the Sub-Adviser expects moderate gross domestic product growth of between 2 to 3 percent; U.S. economic momentum will continue due to gradual improvements in consumer confidence, the housing market, and the unemployment rate; and real interest rates and inflation should remain low, albeit increasing in line with Fed expectations. Corporate cash flows are strong due to low absolute interest rates that have been locked in from refinancing, which enhances interest coverage and free cash flow. The Fund sees low maturity and default risk as well, due to the 2009-2013 refinancing boom. Low credit quality non-refinance issuance has remained relatively low, signaling a low default environment. With historically strong performance during periods of volatile upward-moving equity markets, convertible securities appear to be an attractive investment in the current market conditions.

Dunham Large Cap Value Fund
Message from the Sub-Adviser (C.S. McKee, L.P.)
 
Large cap value stocks, as measured by the Russell 1000 Value Index, increased during the six-month period that ended April 30, 2015, rising 2.9 percent. Large cap growth stocks outperformed by a wide margin during the same period, gaining 6.5 percent and also besting broader equity indexes, such as the S&P 500 Index, which posted a 4.4 percent return. The top performing sectors in the Fund included healthcare and utilities while the consumer staples and energy sectors lagged somewhat.
 
The healthcare sector added to performance on an absolute and relative basis and was by far the strongest sector during the six-month period. Stocks held by the Fund in this sector outpaced those held within the benchmark index by more than 7 percent and the overall index by more than 13 percent. A moderate overweight to this sector also added to performance. The holdings in this sector alone added 1.2 percent to the total return of the Fund. AmerisourceBergen Corporation (ABC) (holding percentage*: 4.8 percent), an international pharmaceutical wholesaler, was the largest contributor to performance in the Fund and was also the largest single position.. The stock increased by 34.7 percent in the six-month period ended April 30, 2015.
 
Exposure to the energy sector detracted slightly from performance, mainly to a small underweight to the sector. Security selection had a positive effect, however. Oil prices, which had hit multi-year lows during the first part of the six-month period, rebounded somewhat and stabilized toward the end of the period. The Sub-Adviser focused on firms that have a large percentage of their business concentrated in refining and services, thus their profits are more dependent on volume rather than the price of oil. One of the best performing stocks held by the Fund in this sector was Baker Hughes, Inc. (BHI) (holdings percentage*: 1.8 percent), an oil services and equipment firm, which had a total return of 29.6 percent in the six-month period ended April 30, 2015.
 
Security selection as well as a 2 percent underweight in the utilities sector enhanced performance on a relative basis. Utility holdings in the Fund outperformed those within the index by approximately 3 percent. Public Service Enterprise Group, Inc. (PEG) (holding percentage*: 1.8 percent), a diversified utility company which operates nuclear, coal, gas, oil-fired and renewable generation facilities, increased 2.5 percent in the six-month period ended April 30, 2015. Utility companies in the benchmark sustained a 1.4 percent loss during the same period. Expectations that interest rates will rise in the not so distant future have pushed down utility stocks in general, according to the Fund. Many utility companies carry a significant debt load and any rise in interest rates will increase their expenses.
 
Stocks in the consumer staples sector detracted somewhat from performance, mainly due to security selection, though a moderate underweight to the sector helped to offset much of the negative impact. Wal-Mart Stores, Inc. (WMT) (holding percentage*: 2.4 percent), a discount retailer that has a large grocery segment, was one of the better performers held by the Fund in this sector with a 3.5 percent gain in the six-month period ended April 30, 2015.
 
Industrial stocks had a positive impact on the Fund due to both security selection and an approximate 2 percent overweight to the sector. General Electric Company (GE) (holding percentage*: 3.8 percent), a producer of locomotives, turbines, jet engines and other industrial machinery, was the fourth largest holding in the Fund. The stock surged in early April after it announced the sale of the bulk of its finance unit and a $50 billion stock buy back. In the six-month period studied, GE produced a 6.9 percent return.
 
Going forward, the Sub-Adviser believes the economy will continue to grow at a moderate pace with GDP growth increasing to 3.0 to 3.5 percent in the second half of the year. The Sub-Adviser sees continued volatility in the stock market and believes valuations may be a little high but does not expect a significant correction in the near future. Overall, the Sub-Adviser believes it is well positioned to the current market conditions and will continue to take advantage of opportunities as they present themselves.

Dunham Alternative Income Fund
Message from the Sub-Adviser (Harbor Springs Financial Management LLC)
 
Dividend paying stocks, as measured by the Dow Jones U.S. Select Dividend Index, gained 2.0 percent in the six-month period ended April 30, 2015, with the bulk of that return coming in the first three-months of that period. The utility heavy index underperformed more well known benchmarks, such as the S&P 500 Index, which gained 4.4 percent over the same time period. Some of the top performing sectors in the Fund were utilities and technology while exposure to master limited partnerships and mining stocks detracted somewhat.
 
To achieve the dividend yield the Fund seeks, the Sub-Adviser invests approximately 43 percent of the Fund in oil and gas pipeline partnerships, pipeline management firms, and energy management companies. Another 15 percent is invested in utility stocks, 14 percent in telecommunications stocks, 11 percent in technology, 5 percent in tobacco, 4 percent in REITs, 4 percent in financials, 2 percent in cash and cash equivalents, and 2 percent in mining stocks. In addition, approximately 18 percent of the Fund is invested in high dividend-paying international stocks, which is comprised mostly of telecommunications and utilities stocks.
 
Stocks in the technology sector added to performance on a relative and absolute basis as tech stocks within the Fund outperformed those within the benchmark as well as the overall index. A relatively large position in Microchip Technology, Inc. (MCHP) (holding percentage*: 2.8 percent) was mainly responsible for the outperformance. The semi-conductor firm achieved a return of 12.2 percent over the six-month period ended April 30, 2015. The firm released a favorable earnings report and unveiled new products during the period.
 
The utilities sector detracted somewhat from performance on an absolute basis, though the sector did outperform during the first part of the period as a cold winter in the east forced more heating usage. The Sub-Adviser decreased its weighting to the sector by approximately 3 percent after relatively large increases in prior periods when utilities were also underperforming. According to the Fund, expectations that interest rates will increase relatively soon have driven the selling in this sector. Utility companies generally are leveraged to a significant degree, so any increase in interest rates will raise the cost to service this debt. NextEra Energy (NEE) (holdings percentage*: 2.4 percent), a Florida based electric utility, was one of the better performing holdings in this sector with 2.2 percent gain in the six-month period ended April 30, 2014. The Sub-Adviser believes the sector is just experiencing a short-term sell-off due to irrational fear and will recover fairly quickly.
 
International stocks added value on an absolute basis as many international indices, such as the MSCI EAFE Index, far outpaced the Dow Jones U.S. Select Dividend Index. The Sub-Adviser’s selections in this space also bested the benchmark by a wide margin, as well as broader U.S. stock indexes, such as the S&P 500 Index. Deutsche Telecom AG ADR (DTEGY) (holding percentage*: 4.4 percent), an international telecommunications provider, was the largest holding in the Fund and enjoyed a 22.5 percent return in the six-month period ended April 30, 2015. Pharmaceutical manufacturer GlaxoSmithKline PLC ADR (GSK) (holding percentage*: 1.7 percent) didn’t do quite as well but still outperformed the overall index, producing a 4.3 percent gain in the same period.
 
Exposure to pipeline companies and master limited partnerships detracted from performance, though these firms recovered somewhat toward the end of the period as oil prices increased significantly and stabilized somewhat. The Sub-Adviser increased exposure to the sector from about 26 percent to approximately 39 percent over the period. The Sub-Adviser felt that these types of companies were far oversold and noted that these firms generally have little exposure to the actual price of oil. Lower gasoline prices should also spur higher consumption which means that more oil will need to be transported via pipeline no matter what the price of the underlying commodity is. Energy transfer partners LP (ETP) (holding percentage*: 3.2 percent), which mainly engages in natural gas transportation, declined by 8.8 percent during the period.
 
Going forward, the Sub-Adviser remains optimistic about the economy and believes lower energy costs will bode well for firms that produce consumer oriented products. Opportunities in the transportation and export of energy will continue to be a large focus of the Fund. The Sub-Adviser has no plans for any major changes to the positioning or strategy of the Fund at this time and believes the current market environment should favor the high dividend-paying securities in which it specializes.

Dunham Focused Large Cap Growth Fund
Message from the Sub-Adviser (The Ithaka Group, LLC)
 
The growing strength in the U.S. economy, combined with the dovish Fed commentary, was not enough to completely offset some of the concerns of slowing growth in Europe and Asia as well as the negative impact of the volatility in oil prices in the previous fiscal period. The most recent fiscal quarter started off strong in the month of February on the tail of various political and central bank actions and a rebound in oil prices. U.S. equities slowed in the final months of the fiscal quarter as lackluster economic data and relatively weak earnings were released. Large cap growth stocks, as measured by the Russell 1000 Growth Index, had a relatively strong six-month period with a return of 6.5 percent for the fiscal period that ended April 30, 2015. The most recent performance outpaced other broader equity indexes, such as the S&P 500 Index, which increased 4.4 percent.
 
The health care sector was one of the more volatile sectors over the fiscal six-month period. For the first three months of the fiscal period, the health care sector was one of the strongest performing sectors. A large contributor to that performance was Pharmacyclics Inc. (PCYC) (holding percentage**: 3.98 percent), a biopharmaceutical company. Pharmacyclics Inc. increased 29.1 percent the first three months of the fiscal year and increased another 51.7 percent before the position was fully exited in mid-April. The Sub-Adviser believes that the most recent strong run was partially attributed to the announcement that AbbVie Inc. would seek to acquire the company for over $21 billion. In the final fiscal quarter of the six-month period, the health care sector reversed course to becoming one of the largest detractors from Fund performance. This decline in the health care sector was led by Celgene Corp. (CELG) (holding percentage*: 3.80 percent), another biopharmaceutical company. Celgene Corp. declined 9.3 percent over the most recent fiscal quarter after increasing 11.3 percent in the previous fiscal quarter.
 
The consumer discretionary sector was responsible for multiple holdings that positively contributed within the Fund as well as one of the worst performing holdings over the fiscal period. Starbucks Corp. (SBUX) (holding percentage*: 5.63 percent), a premier roaster, marketer, and retailer of specialty coffee in the world, increased 32.2 percent over the most recent fiscal six-month period. The Sub-Adviser believes that the strong growth over the fiscal quarter was partially attributed to a strong earnings release and continued expansion in China. Additionally, Starbucks Corp. has developed innovative stores designed to help facilitate increased global expansion, released a string of successful new product offerings, and in an effort to “elevate the coffee experience” Starbucks Corp. has released its “Starbucks Reserve” premium coffee products. Amazon.com Inc. (AMZN) (holding percentage*: 2.65 percent), an e-commerce company, also contributed to the overall performance of the Fund by climbing 38.1 percent during the six-month period. The Sub-Adviser believes that this strong performance was attributable to the continued increase in Amazon Prime members over the last year and the successful release of “Amazon Web Services” which is a collection of remote computing services.
 
One of the worst performing Fund holdings within the consumer discretionary sector and the Fund was Las Vegas Sands Corp. (LVS) (holding percentage**: 1.90 percent), which is a developer of destination properties that feature accommodations, gaming, entertainment and retail. In the first three months of the six-month fiscal period, Las Vegas Sands Corp. fell 11.9 percent and fell another 1.6 percent in the most recent three months before being eliminated from the Fund at the end of the six-month period. The Sub-Adviser believes that Las Vegas Sands Corp. has been facing headwinds over the past ten months due to Chinese President Xi Jinping’s dedication to balancing economic reform with “healthier” and more “sustainable” growth. The Chinese government has considerably slowed growth in Macau via the president’s anti-graft campaign, UnionPay monitoring, and visa restrictions. The anti-graft campaign has been the biggest hindrance to Las Vegas Sands Corp., significantly impacting the VIP gaming segment as well as the junket operators that the system relies on for gaming liquidity. With no indications as to when the government might ease restrictions, the Sub-Adviser believed it was time to exit the position.
 
The Sub-Adviser claims no expertise in economic or market predictions, and top-down analysis plays no part in their approach to investing. The Sub-Adviser does not try to “guess” where the market is heading in the next fiscal quarter or fiscal year and therefore chooses to stay fully invested at all times in what it believes are high-quality growth companies. The Sub-Adviser strives to own companies with robust business models and balance sheets that it believes are built to withstand difficult economic environments. With few exceptions, each of the companies in the current portfolio historically exhibited strong fundamentals during the 2008/2009 downturn. Those few that did not have since then significantly strengthened their balance sheets. The Sub-Adviser uses a fundamentals-driven, bottom–up process to identify and own companies that may outperform over the long-term. The Sub-Adviser continues to believe that many of the stocks in the Fund are well-positioned to outperform over the economic cycle due to the strength of the long-term secular trends underpinning them, coupled with the Sub-Adviser’s unique abilities to take advantage of these trends.

Dunham International Stock Fund
Message from the Sub-Adviser (Arrowstreet Capital, L.P.)
 
International equity markets, as measured by the MSCI All Country World ex USA Index (Net) (referred to as the “Index”), rose 5.56 percent during the six-month period ended April 30, 2015 (the “six-month period”). For the month of November 2014, the Index was up 0.72 percent, while in December of 2014, the Index fell 3.61 percent. The principal story for the markets in November and December were the sharp declines in oil prices with the price of oil under $65 in November at one point. December saw a big increase in market volatility; the main source coming from the oil price decline. Minor risk events took place in the Eurozone due to Greece, and the Japanese elections ended up being a non-factor. In January, the Index lost 0.15 percent. In February the Index rose 5.35 percent, and in March and April, the Index was down 1.62 percent and up 5.05 percent, respectively. During the month of January, there were a number of events that transpired. Many of those related closely to the currency market as the Swiss National Bank abandoned their euro peg and the Canadain central bank lowered interest rates unexpectedly. The European Central Bank began a quantitative easing program, although this was not altogether unexpected. Russia lowered interest rates and the intensity of their Ukranian operation, while world equity markets declined, low-risk bonds outperformed risk assets, and the U.S. dollar strengthened. February saw a rebound in risk assets while March ended poorly with weak macro data highlighted by U.S. exisiting home sales, durable good orders, GDP growth, and Japanese retail sales. April saw a reversal in macro trends as the U.S. dollar appreciated, the Euro also increased, oil prices rose, and emerging market stocks rallied.
 
The Sub-Adviser’s investment process is best characterized as a dynamic process that uses quantitative models to evaluate securities to exploit opportunities across companies, sectors, and countries while seeking to avoid long-term systematic biases toward any particular country, sector, style, or market capitalization. These stock selection models are designed to understand what information is likely to impact stock prices with a predictable and measurable lag that allows time to invest and profit. The models obtain the information to forecast individual stock returns by evaluating a stock’s potential on the basis of: (1) direct effects - characteristics of the company itself; and (2) indirect effects - characteristics of other companies that are related by virtue of a common country affiliation and sector affiliation (called country/sector baskets); a common country affiliation; and a common global sector affiliation, and/or other common linkages. Over any time period, the strategy’s performance relative to the Index is driven by allocations to country/sector baskets, stock selection, and the effects of currency exposures differing from those of the Index.
 
Countries contributing most to the Fund’s returns relative to the Index during the six-month period included the United Kingdom (primarily due to energy, materials, and financials sector underweights and health care sector overweights), Denmark (primarily due to health care and industrials sector overweights), and Canada (primarily due to energy and financials sector underweights). Countries contributing most to the Fund’s underperformance relative to the Index included Switzerland (primarily due to health care and telecommunication services sector overweights), Italy (primarily due to utilities and consumer discretionary sector overrweights), and Turkey (primarily due to financials sector overweights).
 
Sectors contributing most to the Fund’s returns relative to the Index during the six-month period included financials (primarily due to Canada underweights, and China and India overweights), materials (primarily due to Belgium overweights and the United Kingdom underweights), and energy (primarily due to the United Kingdom and Canada underweights). Sectors contributing most to the Fund’s underperformance relative to the Index included utilities (primarily due to Italy, Brazil, and Spain overweights), and telecommunication services (primarily due to Switzerland and Hong Kong overweights).
 
The stocks contributing most to the Fund’s returns relative to the Index during the six-month period included Peugeot Sa (holding percentage*: 0.74 percent), a French consumer discretionary company, Novo Nordisk A/S Class B (holding percentage*: 1.14 percent), a Danish health care company, and Umicore (holding percentage*: 1.23 percent), a Belgian materials company. Stocks contributing most to the Fund’s underperformance relative to the Index included Nokia (holding percentage*: 0.94 percent), a Finish telecommunications company, Roche Holding Ltd. Genussch. (holding percentage*: 0.59 percent), a Swiss health care company, and Toyota Industries Corp. (holding percentage*: 0.13 percent), a Japanese consumer discretionary company.

Dunham Real Estate Stock Fund
Message from the Sub-Adviser (Cornerstone Real Estate Advisors LLC)
 
The real estate investment trust (REIT) market, as measured by the FTSE NAREIT All REIT Index, returned 2.6 percent over the six-month period ended April 30, 2015 after very strong performance in several of the prior fiscal quarters. The first three months of the six-month period experienced robust performance, gaining 9.2 percent. However, the closing three months of the period underperformed, declining 6.1 percent. Over the six-month period, the REIT market underperformed other broader equity indexes, such as the S&P 500 Index, which returned 4.4 percent. Apartment and equity self-storage REITs were two of the best performing sectors in the Fund, while hotel and industrial REITs detracted somewhat.
 
Holdings in the self-storage REIT sector outperformed on both a relative and absolute basis as the total return for selections in this sector topped 14 percent, the largest return of any sector in the Fund. The Sub-Adviser maintained a modest overweight to the sector, though security selection was mainly responsible for the outperformance. Self-storage REITs in the Fund outperformed those contained within the benchmark index by more than 8 percent. The Sub-Adviser believes its focus on smaller companies that can generate outsized growth and more easily grow occupancies is the main reason for the outperformance. Undersupply in the sector also allows companies to have minimal vacancies and charge higher rent. Only 300-400 facilities have been built in recent times while approximately 3500 were built at the peak in 2005. The Sub-Adviser believes that about 1,000 self-storage facilities per year need to be built to have a substantial effect on supply. Extra Space Storage, Inc. (EX) (holding percentage*: 5.2 percent), a self-storage REIT that focuses primarily on the ownership and operation of self-storage facilities, posted a 15.1 percent return during the fiscal quarter.
 
Exposure the industrial REITs detracted slightly from performance, mostly due to a moderate overweight to the sector, though positive security selection mostly offset the negative impact. Gramercy Property Trust, Inc. (GPT) (holding percentage*: 1.8 percent), a New York City-based firm that invests in industrial and office properties, was one of the better performing REITs in this sector. It gained 10.9 percent in the six-month period ended April 30, 2015.
 
A large overweight and security selection led to outperformance in the apartment REIT sector on a relative and absolute basis in the six-month period ended April 30, 2015. The sector was by far the largest weighting in the Fund at 19.5 percent versus 11.2 percent in the benchmark index. Essex Property Trust, Inc. (ESS) (holding percentage*: 6.6 percent), a REIT that engages in the acquisition, development and management if multi-family properties in the states of California and Washington, was the third largest holding in the Fund. It produced an 11.4 percent return, which was 9 percent higher than the overall benchmark, though it did pull back significantly in latter part of period. The Sub-Adviser believes this sector will remain strong as improvements in the job market allow the large 18-32 year old demographic to move out on their own and may even add to the sector.
 
The hotel REIT sector had a negative impact on performance due to both a severe overweight to the sector and security selection. The bulk of the underperformance occurred in the first three months of the period as lodging REITs picked up steam in the spring months. Still, hotel REITs within the benchmark index lost nearly 4 percent in the six-month period ended April 30, 2015. Chesapeake Lodging Trust (CHSP) (holding percentage*: 1.9 percent), which primarily invests in upper-upscale hotels in major business or convention markets, was one of the better performing holdings in this sector, declining by 2.1 percent during the six-month period.
 
Going forward, the Sub-Adviser expects solid earnings in the REIT sector for the rest of 2015. Capital flows into real estate are strong as demand has remained high. U.S. economic growth should recover in the second half of the year as interest rates remain range-bound.

Dunham Small Cap Value Fund
Message from the Sub-Adviser (Piermont Capital Management LLC)
 
Small cap value stocks, as measured by the Russell 2000 Value Index, increased 2.1 percent in the six-month period ended April 30, 2015. Small-cap growth stocks in the Russell 2000 Growth Index outperformed, gaining 7.3 percent over the same time period. Larger capitalization stocks, as measured by the S&P 500 Index, produced a 4.4 percent return. Some of the top contributors to the Fund’s performance were the banking and technology sectors, while the healthcare and REIT sectors lagged somewhat.
 
The Sub-Adviser’s strategy continues to focus on high quality firms, using 9 sector specific models that include a total of 40 factors to measure both fundamental and technical metrics. Stocks must rank in the top 20 percent to be considered for purchase and also undergo a qualitative red flag review. The red flag review may include assessing news stories that could adversely affect a stock, high turnover in senior management, or an accelerating debt ratio, among other factors. Another core premise of the strategy is that the Fund should remain sector and industry neutral so as to avoid large risks by overweighting or underweighting a particular sector and focus solely on picking the best stocks in each sector and industry, rather than trying to predict macroeconomic trends. It is this complete bottom-up selection approach that makes the Sub-Adviser somewhat unique.
 
Exposure to the banking sector had a positive impact on the Fund on a relative basis. This is the largest sector in the Fund with a portfolio weighting of more than 17 percent. State Bank Financial Corporation (STBZ) (holding percentage**: 0.60 percent), a community bank that provides a range of services to individuals and businesses in Georgia, was one of the better performers in this sector. It produced a 12.0 percent return from November 1, 2014 until it was sold by the Fund on February 17, 2015. At that point, the Sub-Adviser’s proprietary model showed that the company had become overvalued. Another holding that outperformed the benchmark was FirstMerit Corporation (FMER) (holding percentage*: 1.1 percent), an Ohio-based bank that provides various banking, fiduciary, insurance, financial and investment services to corporate, institutional and individual customers. In the six-month period ended April 30, 2015, the firm gained 7.4 percent. It is still currently held and is ranked highly by the Sub-Adviser’s proprietary model.
 
The REIT sector detracted slightly from performance on a relative basis, mainly due to security selection. REITs in general underperformed due to higher interest rate expectations, according to the Sub-adviser. This occurred in the second half of the six-month period. In the first three months through January, REITs enjoyed favorable returns. The sector has one of the largest weightings in the Fund and the benchmark index, comprising approximately 14 percent of the Fund’s holdings. Summit Hotel Properties, Inc. (INN) (holding percentage*: 1.1 percent), was the best performing holding in this sector. The Sub-Adviser noted that the firm invests in limited-service and select-service hotels in the upscale and midscale without food and beverage segments. The company reported strong full-year and quarterly earnings results in March and gained 15.3 percent in the six-month period ended April 30, 2015.
 
Stocks in the technology sector added value on a relative and absolute basis as the Sub-Adviser selections in this category outperformed those within the benchmark index as well as the overall index. Insight Enterprises, Inc. (NSIT) (holding percentage*: 1.4 percent), an application software firm, was one of the largest positions in the Fund. The stock returned 29.8 percent in the six-month period studied. The company released a favorable earnings report in February and announced plans to continue hiring workers and investing in the company.
 
Security selection in the healthcare sector had a negative impact on performance on a relative basis, particularly in the first three months of the period. The Sub-Adviser’s picks in this sector improved markedly in the final months of the six-month period studied, however. Owens & Minor, Inc. (OMI) (holding percentage*: 0.99 percent), an international wholesaler of medical equipment, generated a 2.7 percent return in the six-month period ended April 30, 2015. This was slightly higher than the overall benchmark but considerably lower than healthcare stocks within the index. Shares declined significantly in March and lackluster earnings were reported in April. Still, the Sub-Adviser plans to hold the company as long as it consistently ranks in the upper percentiles of its model.
 
Going forward, the Sub-Adviser will continue its sector and industry neutral bottom-up stock picking strategy without regard to outside economic factors, interest rate changes, or any other top-down methodology. The Fund will continue to analyze its multi-factor model, only making adjustments when it is deemed that a particular metric is no longer working properly or it is found that a new fundamental or technical indicator may be useful.

Dunham Emerging Markets Stock Fund
Message from the Sub-Adviser (Bailard, Inc.)
 
Emerging market equities, as measured by the MSCI Emerging Markets Index, had a volatile six-month period ended April 30, 2015 increasing 3.9 percent. The first three months of the fiscal period emerging market equities declined 5.1 percent amid various geopolitical concerns and a decline in commodities. In the final three months of the fiscal period emerging markets rallied 9.5 percent as oil rebounded and the relative dollar strength reached record levels. The index underperformed its U.S. counterpart, as measured by the S&P 500 Index, which increased 4.4 percent over the same time period.
 
The Sub-Adviser continued to focus on individual countries and bottom-up stock selection within those countries, with overweights or underweights to economic sectors being largely incidental. On an absolute basis, top performing countries in the Fund included Brazil, Pakistan, and Argentina, while Russia, Turkey, and Vietnam lagged. For the fiscal six-month period, overall country selection and stock selection slightly detracted from performance relative to the benchmark index.
 
Throughout the fiscal six-month period the Sub-Adviser steadily increased the underweight to China to over 7.4 percent. Although the Chinese holdings generally appreciated over the fiscal period, the underweight in China and selection of Chinese stocks detracted from the Funds performance. On a relative basis, Huaneng Power International Inc. (902 HK) (holding percentage* 0.72 percent), a power plant operator, was one of the Fund’s detractors over the fiscal period. Over the six-month period Huaneng Power International Inc increased 16.2 percent but detracted from performance due to its relative underweight. A Chinese holding that contributed to the Fund’s performance was Lenovo Group Limited (992 HK) (holding percentage*: 1.84 percent), which has subsidiaries that sell and manufacture personal computers and handheld devices. Over the fiscal six-month period ended April 30, 2015 Lenovo Group Limited increased 16.8 percent and the Sub-Adviser was overweight the position relative to the benchmark. The Sub-Adviser believes this is currently a challenging country to invest in due to the difficulty in deciphering and determining the validity of the available data.
 
One of the largest overweights and strongest positive contributor to performance over the most recent fiscal period was the Fund’s investments in Latin America. To begin the fiscal period the Sub-Adviser was overweight Argentina and underweight the rest of the Latin American region which benefited the Fund through most of the fiscal six-month period. However, there was a slight pullback as a result of the resurgence of their currency and the improving market in Brazil at the end of the fiscal period. Banks led the way during this rally in Argentina, as Banco Macro SA ADR (BMA) (holding percentage*: 1.12 percent), a bank offering both commercial and retail banking services, was a crucial holding. Over the fiscal six-month period, Banco Macro SA ADR increased 33.23 percent. Another Latin American holding that positively contributed to performance was JBS ON (JBSS3 BZ) (holding percentage*: 0.74 percent), which is a processor of a range of meats. Since this position was initiated in mid-November, JBS ON increased 32.6 percent. The Sub-Adviser believes this is due to the strength of the U.S. dollar and their successful U.S. operations.
 
The Fund’s overweight to Pakistan enhanced performance on both a relative and absolute basis. The Sub-Adviser overweighted the country by nearly 4.0 percent, which amplified the outperformance. The Fund held the best performing and the most liquid stock available in Pakistan, Engro Corporation Ltd. (ENGRO PA) (holding percentage*: 1.25 percent). Engro Corporation Ltd. engages in the manufacturing and marketing of fertilizers and plastics, generates electricity, and processes food. Engro Corporation Ltd. followed its strong performance of 77.8 percent in the first three months of the fiscal period with an increase of 7 percent the final three months. The Sub-Adviser believes that this conglomerate outperformed other holdings within the country as a result of their diversified business model and exposure to the U.S. consumer.
 
Going forward, the Sub-Adviser is optimistic for emerging market companies and believes growth can be found. It believes that it is a constructive environment for emerging market equities as a result of conservative valuations when compared to those in the United States. Global growth is coming in as tepid but opportunities are available, especially in areas of positive reform such as Asia. The Sub-Adviser also believes that areas of negative reform such as Brazil should be approached cautiously as Brazil is amid its worst fiscal deficit in 16 years.

The MSCI Emerging Markets Index (net) is a free float-adjusted market capitalization index that is designed to measure equity market performance in the global emerging markets. Investors cannot invest directly in an index or benchmark.
The Morningstar Diversified Emerging Markets Category is generally representative of mutual funds that primarily invest among 20 or more developing nations, with a general focus on the emerging markets of Asia and Latin America rather than on the emerging markets countries in the Middle East, Africa, or Europe. 

As disclosed in the Trust’s latest registration statement, the Fund’s total annual operating expenses, including underlying funds, are 1.33% for Class N, 2.33% for Class C and 1.58% for Class A. Class A shares are subject to a sales load of 5.75% and a deferred sales charge of up to 0.75%. The performance data quoted here represents past performance, which is not indicative of future results. Current performance may be lower or higher than the performance data quoted. The investment return and NAV will fluctuate, so that an investor’s shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. Total returns are calculated assuming reinvestment of all dividends and capital gains distributions, if any. The returns do not reflect the deductions of taxes a shareholder would pay on the redemption of fund shares or fund distributions.

Dunham Small Cap Growth Fund
Message from the Sub-Adviser (Pier Capital, LLC)
 
Small cap growth stocks, as measured by the Russell 2000 Growth Index, ended a volatile first half of the fiscal year on a positive note, gaining 7.3 percent for the six-month period ended April 30, 2015. The beginning of the fiscal year saw gains, as November and December posted positive results of 0.7 percent and 3.0 percent, respectively. January took a downturn which resulted in a loss of 2.3 percent. February had a strong rebound of 7.2 percent which continued into March, adding 1.8 percent. April, the final month of the first half of the fiscal year, took a breather, with small cap growth stocks losing 2.9 percent.
 
During the period, there were no material changes to the Sub-Adviser’s investment decision making process. The Sub-Adviser continues to implement a bottom-up process to selecting stocks for the Fund, focusing on individual firm characteristics rather than sector weightings or the economy as a whole. It seeks companies on the verge of experiencing large increases in market share. By seeking out and identifying market catalysts, the Sub-Adviser believes that the securities it selects for the Fund are tailored towards organic growth due to some kind of market advantage. The Sub-Adviser feels that volatility in small cap growth stocks may have been a direct result of a strengthening U.S. dollar and falling oil prices, which had a negative effect on the energy sector. From a returns perspective, small cap growth stocks may have benefitted from a general risk-on sentiment by investors due to a number of factors, including the economic struggles in Europe and the stimulus measures implemented by the European Central Bank, the economic growth in the U.S. and the re-emergence of the consumer, as reflected in unemployment data and minimum wage increases. From a Fund-specific perspective, U.S. economic factors are much more impactful than are economic factors from outside the U.S. Given that the U.S. economy is on more solid ground than many economies around the globe bodes well for the companies in which the Fund invests.
 
The sectors which provided the strongest benefit to the Fund during the first six-months of the fiscal year were energy and information technology. Small cap growth energy stocks in the Fund were helped by PDC Energy, Inc. (PDCE) (holding percentage*: 0.87 percent), which produces, develops, explores and markets crude oil, natural gas and natural gas liquids throughout the United States. The company gained 29.8 percent over the first half of the fiscal year. Also aiding Fund performance from the information technology sector was Avago Technologies LTD (AVGO) (holding percentage*: 1.36 percent), a manufacturer of semiconductor products such as optoelectronics, radio-frequency and microwave components, and application-specific integrated circuits. The company’s products are used in mobile phones, consumer electronics, enterprise and telecom networking gear, optical mice, automotive electronics, and military and aerospace systems. The company gained 36.4 percent over the six-month period ended April 30, 2015.
 
The sectors which detracted most from Fund returns were consumer staples and industrials. Small Cap Growth consumer staples stocks in the Fund were held back by Keurig Green Mountain, Inc. (GMCR) (holding percentage**: 0.87 percent), a specialty coffee and coffee maker business. The company provides Keurig single-cup brewing systems which includes Keurig single cup brewer, K-Cup portion packs used by the system, as well as related accessories. Keurig manages operations through two business segments, the specialty coffee business unit and the Keurig business unit. The stock fell 10.6 percent during the period before the Sub-Adviser sold all positions in the company at the end of December. In the industrials sector, NCI Building Systems, Inc. (NCS) (holding percentage**: 0.91 percent), performed negatively for the Fund. The company designs, manufactures, and markets metal engineered building systems and products for the building industry. The company sells metal components as well as complete metal building systems and sells its products in the United States. The stock detracted from the performance of the Fund, falling 6.1 percent over the period before the Sub-Adviser sold all positions in the company at the end of December.
 
The Sub-Adviser is optimistic about continued gradual U.S. economic improvement and that rising interest rates later in the year should be good for small cap stocks, as that is usually a sign of economic strength. The Sub-Adviser believes that stock valuations may be slightly high but noted that small cap companies have begun using cash as a source for capital expenditures. The Sub-Adviser believes this will be reflected positively in future earnings which will, in turn, justify valuations. This could create an environment in which small cap stocks continue to show strength.

*
The net investment income per share data was determined using the average shares outstanding throughout each period
+
Assumes reinvestment of all dividends and distributions, if any. Aggregate (not annualized) total return is shown for any period shorter than one year. Tota return does not reflect the deductions of taxes that a shareholder would pay on distributions or on the redemption of shares
#
Includes adjustments in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States and, consequently, the net asset value for financial reporting purposes and the returns based upon those net asset values may differ from the net asset values and returns for shareholder transactions
^
Annualized for periods less than one year.
(1)
Not annualized.

*
The Fund commenced operations on April 30, 2010.
**
The net investment income (loss) per share data was determined using the average shares outstanding throughout each period.
***
The amount of net realized and unrealized loss on investment per share for the year ended October 31, 2014 does not accord with the amounts in the Statements of Operations du to the timing of purchases and sales of Fund shares in relation to fluctuating market values.
^
Annualized for periods less than one year.
+
Assumes reinvestment of all dividends and distributions, if any. Aggregate (not annualized) total return is shown for any period shorter than one year. Total return does not reflect the deductions of taxes that a shareholder would pay on distributions or on the redemption of shares.
#
Includes adjustments in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States and, consequently, the net asset value for financial reporting purposes and the returns based upon those net asset values may differ from the net asset values and returns for shareholder transactions.
(1)
Not annualized.

1.           ORGANIZATION
 
Each Dunham Fund (each, a “Fund” and collectively the “Funds”) is a series of shares of beneficial interest in the Dunham Funds (the “Trust”), a Delaware Business Trust organized on November 28, 2007 and registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, (the “1940 Act”) as an open-end management investment company. Prior to that date, the Dunham Funds were a series of AdvisorOne Funds, also a Delaware Business Trust. The Dunham Funds currently consist of sixteen funds: Corporate/Government Bond Fund; Monthly Distribution Fund; Floating Rate Bond Fund; High-Yield Bond Fund; International Opportunity Bond Fund; Dynamic Macro Fund; Alternative Strategy Fund; Appreciation & Income Fund; Large Cap Value Fund; Alternative Income Fund; Focused Large Cap Growth Fund; International Stock Fund; Real Estate Stock Fund; Small Cap Value Fund; Emerging Markets Stock Fund and Small Cap Growth Fund. Alternative Strategy Fund, Alternative Income Fund, Focused Large Cap Growth Fund, International Opportunity Bond Fund, and Real Estate Stock Fund are non-diversified funds within the meaning of the 1940 Act. The remaining Funds are diversified funds within the meaning of the 1940 Act.

Currently, each Fund offers Class A, Class C and Class N shares. Each class represents an interest in the same assets of the applicable Fund with the only differences being that Class A shares are subject to a front-end sales charge and an annual service fee, Class C shares are subject to an annual service and distribution fee and Class N shares have a higher minimum investment amount. Investors that purchase $1,000,000 or more of Class A shares will not pay any initial sales charge on the purchase. However, purchases of $1,000,000 or more of Class A shares may be subject to a contingent deferred sales charge (“CDSC”) on shares redeemed during the first 18 months after their purchase in the amount of the commissions paid on the shares redeemed. The Class C and Class N shares, with the exception of Monthly Distribution, High-Yield Bond, Dynamic Macro, Focused Large Cap Growth, Alternative Income, Alternative Strategy, Floating Rate Bond, and International Opportunity Bond commenced operations on December 10, 2004 and were formed as a result of tax-free conversions from common trusts. The conversions were accomplished through the exchange of the common trust securities, cash, and other assets for equivalent value of the Funds’ shares. High-Yield Bond Class C and Class N shares commenced operations on July 1, 2005. The Class A shares for all Funds except Monthly Distribution, Dynamic Macro, Focused Large Cap Growth, Alternative Income, Alternative Strategy, Floating Rate Bond, and International Opportunity Bond commenced operations on January 3, 2007. Monthly Distribution’s Predecessor Fund’s Class A shares and Class C shares commenced operations on December 26, 2000. Monthly Distribution’s Class N shares commenced operations on September 29, 2008. Dynamic Macro commenced operations on April 30, 2010. Focused Large Cap Growth commenced operations on December 8, 2011. Alternative Income commenced operations on September 14, 2012. Effective October 1, 2014, Dynamic Macro changed its name from Loss Averse Equity Income. Alternative Strategy’s Predecessor Fund’s Class N shares commenced operations on February 13, 2009 and Alternative Strategy Class A shares commenced operations on March 25, 2009. Alternative Strategy Class C shares commenced operations on May 14, 2009. Floating Rate Bond and International Opportunity Bond commenced operations on November 1, 2013.
 
2.           SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
 
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“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.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited) 

April 30, 2015 (Continued)
 
The following is a summary of significant accounting policies followed by the Fund in preparation of their financial statements.
 
a. Security Valuation – In determining each Fund’s Net Asset Value (“NAV”) per share, equity securities for which market quotations are readily available are valued at current market value using the last reported sales price. NASDAQ traded securities are valued using the NASDAQ official closing price (“NOCP”). If no sale price is reported, the mean between the current bid and ask price is used. If market quotations are not readily available, then securities are valued at fair value as determined by the Board of Trustees of the Trust (the “Board”) (or its delegate). U.S. Government and agency securities are valued at the mean between the most recent bid and asked prices. Short-term debt instruments with a remaining maturity of more than 60 days, intermediate and long-term bonds, convertible bonds, bank loans and other debt securities are generally valued on the basis of dealer supplied quotations or by a pricing system selected by Dunham & Associates Investment Counsel, Inc. (“Dunham & Associates” or the “Adviser”) and approved by the Board. Where such prices are not available, valuations will be obtained from brokers who are market makers for such securities. However, in circumstances where the Adviser deems it appropriate to do so, the mean of the bid and asked prices for over-the-counter securities or the last available sale price for exchange-traded debt securities may be used. Where no last sale price for exchange traded debt securities is available, the mean of the bid and asked prices may be used. Short-term debt securities with a remaining maturity of 60 days or less may be valued at amortized cost, provided such valuations represent fair value.
 
Options are valued at the last reported sale price at the close of the exchange on which the security is primarily traded. If no sales are reported for the exchange-traded options, or the options are not exchange-traded, then they are valued at the mean of their most recent quoted bid and asked price.
 
Equity swaps are valued at the last reported sale price at the close of the exchange on which the underlying security is primarily traded. If no sale price is reported, then they are valued at the mean of their most recent quoted bid and asked price.
 
Futures and future options are valued at the final settled price or, in the absence of a settled price, at the mean between the current bid and ask prices on the day of valuation.
 
Trading in securities on far eastern securities exchanges and over-the-counter markets is normally completed well before the close of business on each business day in New York (i.e., a day on which the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) is open). In addition, far eastern securities trading generally, or in a particular country or countries, may not take place on all business days in New York. Furthermore, trading takes place in Japanese markets on certain Saturdays and in various foreign markets on days, which are not business days in New York, and on which a Fund’s NAV is not calculated. Each Fund calculates NAV per share, and therefore effects sales, redemptions and repurchases of its shares, as of the close of regular trading on the NYSE once on each day on which the NYSE is open. Such calculation may not take place contemporaneously with the determination of the prices of the majority of the portfolio securities used in such calculation. If events that may materially affect the value of such securities occur between the time when their price is determined and the time when the Fund’s NAV is calculated, such securities may be valued at fair value as determined in good faith in accordance with procedures approved by the Board.
 
Securities in which the Funds invest may be traded in markets that close before 4:00 p.m. Eastern Time (“ET”). Normally, developments that occur between the close of the foreign markets and 4:00 p.m. ET will not be reflected in a Fund’s NAV. However, Funds may determine that such developments are so significant that they will materially affect the value of the Fund’s securities, and the Fund may adjust the previous closing prices to reflect what the Board believes to be the fair value of these securities as of 4:00 p.m. ET. Effective July 1, 2009, both International Stock and Emerging Markets Stock began using fair value prices as provided by an independent pricing vendor on a daily basis for those securities traded on a foreign exchange.
 
Securities for which current market quotations are not readily available, or for which quotations are not deemed to be representative of market values, are valued at fair value as determined in good faith by or under the direction of the Board in accordance with the Trust’s Portfolio Securities Valuation Procedures (the “Procedures”). The Procedures consider, among others, the following factors to determine a security’s fair value: the nature and pricing history (if any) of the security; whether any dealer quotations for the security are available; and possible valuation methodologies that could be used to determine the fair value of the security.
 
Valuation of Fund of Funds - The Funds may invest in portfolios of open-end investment companies. Open-end funds are valued at their respective net asset values as reported by such investment companies. Open-end funds value securities in their portfolios for which market quotations are readily available at their market values (generally the last reported sale price) and all other securities and assets at their fair value based on the methods established by the board of directors of the open-end funds.
 
The Funds utilize various methods to measure the fair value of most of their investments on a recurring basis. GAAP establishes a hierarchy that prioritizes inputs to valuation methods. The three levels of input are:
 
Level 1 – Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities.

 
108

 
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited) 

April 30, 2015 (Continued)
 
Level 2 – Observable inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly. These inputs may include quoted prices for the identical instrument on an inactive market, prices for similar instruments, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, yield curves, default rates and similar data.
 
Level 3 – Unobservable inputs for the asset or liability, to the extent relevant observable inputs are not available, representing the Funds’ own assumptions about the assumptions a market participant would use in valuing the asset or liability, and would be based on the best information available.
 
The availability of observable inputs can vary from security to security and is affected by a wide variety of factors, including, for example, the type of security, whether the security is new and not yet established in the marketplace, the liquidity of markets, and other characteristics particular to the security. To the extent that valuation is based on models or inputs that are less observable or unobservable in the market, the determination of fair value requires more judgment. Accordingly, the degree of judgment exercised in determining fair value is greatest for instruments categorized in Level 3.
 
The inputs used to measure fair value may fall into different levels of the fair value hierarchy. In such cases, for disclosure purposes, the level in the fair value hierarchy within which the fair value measurement falls in its entirety, is determined based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety.
 
The inputs or methodology used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities. The following tables summarize the inputs used as of April 30, 2015 for the Funds’ assets and liabilities measured at fair value:

* See each Fund’s Schedule of Investments for breakdown by industry.
The Funds did not hold any Level 3 securities during the period.
There were no transfers into or out of Level 1 or Level 2 during the period. It is the Funds’ policy to recognize transfers into and out of Level 1 and Level 2 at the end of the reporting period.
 
b. Foreign Currency Translations – The accounting records of the Funds are maintained in U.S. dollars. Investment securities and other assets and liabilities denominated in a foreign currency, and income receipts and expense payments, are translated into U.S. dollars using the prevailing exchange rate at the London market close. Purchases and sales of securities are translated into U.S. dollars at the contractual currency rates established at the approximate time of the trade.
 
Net realized gains and losses on foreign currency transactions represent net gains and losses from currency realized between the trade and settlement dates on securities transactions and the difference between income accrued versus income received. The effects of changes in foreign currency exchange rates on investments in securities are included with the net realized and unrealized gain or loss on investment securities.
 
c. Forward Currency Contracts – As foreign securities are purchased, a Fund generally enters into forward currency exchange contracts in order to hedge against foreign currency exchange rate risks. The market value of the contract fluctuates with changes in currency exchange rates. The contract is marked-to-market daily and the change in market value is recorded by a Fund as an unrealized gain or loss. As foreign securities are sold, a portion of the contract is generally closed and the 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. A Fund may also enter into forward currency contracts as an investment strategy consistent with that Fund’s investment objective. Realized gains and losses from contract transactions are included as a component of net realized gains (losses) from investments and foreign currency in the Statements of Operations.
 
d. Options – Monthly Distribution and Dynamic Macro are subject to stock market risk in the normal course of pursuing their investment objectives and may purchase or sell options to help hedge against this risk.
 
A Fund may write call options only if it (i) owns an offsetting position in the underlying security or (ii) has an absolute or immediate right to acquire that security without additional cash consideration or exchange of other securities held in its portfolio. When a Fund writes an option, there is no taxable event and an amount equal to the premium received is recorded by that Fund as a liability. The liability is thereafter valued to reflect the current value of the option. If the option is not exercised and expires, or if a Fund effects a closing purchase transaction, the Fund realizes a gain (or loss in the case of a closing purchase transaction where the cost to close the transaction exceeds the original premium received), and the liability related to the option is extinguished. Any such gain or loss generally is a short-term capital gain or loss for federal income tax purposes. If a call option that a Fund has written on any equity security is exercised, that Fund will realizes a capital gain or loss (long-term or short-term, depending on the holding period of the underlying security) from the sale of the underlying security, and the proceeds from such sale are increased by the premium originally received. If a put option that a Fund has written on an equity security is exercised, the amount of the premium originally received reduces the cost of the security that a Fund purchases upon exercise of the option. When a Fund writes a put option, that Fund must deposit cash or liquid securities into a segregated account equal to the put option’s exercise value (number of shares times strike price).
 
A Fund may purchase put and call options. Put options are purchased to hedge against a decline in the value of securities held in that Fund’s portfolio. If such a decline occurs, the put options will permit that Fund to sell the securities underlying such options at the

 
112

 
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited)

exercise price, or to close out the options at a profit. The premium paid for a put or call option plus any transaction costs will reduce the benefit, if any, realized by that Fund upon exercise of the option, and, unless the price of the underlying security rises or declines sufficiently, the option may expire worthless to that Fund. In addition, in the event that the price of the security in connection with which an option was purchased moves in a direction favorable to that Fund, the benefits realized by that Fund as a result of such favorable movement will be reduced by the amount of the premium paid for the option and related transaction costs. Written and purchased options are non-income producing securities.
 
e. Swap Agreements – Monthly Distribution is subject to stock market risk in the normal course of pursuing its investment objectives. The Fund may enter into various swap transactions for investment purposes to manage equity risk. These are two-party contracts entered into primarily to exchange the returns (or differentials in rates of returns) earned or realized on particular predetermined investments or instruments. The gross returns to be exchanged or “swapped” between parties are calculated with respect to a notional amount, i.e., the return on or increase in value of a particular dollar amount invested at a particular interest rate, in a particular foreign currency, or in a “basket” of securities representing a particular index or market segment. Changes in the value of swap agreements are recognized as unrealized gains or losses in the Statement of Operations by “marking to market” on a daily basis to reflect the value of the swap agreement at the end of each trading day. Payments received or paid at the beginning of the agreement are reflected as such on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities and may be referred to as upfront payments. The Fund amortizes upfront payments and/or accrues for the fixed payment stream on swap agreements on a daily basis with the net amount recorded as a component of unrealized gain or loss on the Statement of Operations. A liquidation payment received or made at the termination of the swap agreement is recorded as a realized gain or loss on the Statement of Operations. The Fund segregates liquid securities having a value at least equal to the amount of its current obligation under any swap transaction. Entering into these agreements involves, to varying degrees, lack of liquidity and elements of credit, market, and counterparty risk in excess of amounts recognized on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities. The Fund’s maximum risk of loss from counterparty credit risk is the discounted net value of the cash flows to be received from/paid to the counterparty over the contract’s remaining life, to the extent that that amount is positive.
 
f. Futures Contracts – International Opportunity Bond and Dynamic Macro are subject to equity interest rate risk and forward currency exchange rate risk in the normal course of pursuing its investment objective. The Funds may purchase or sell futures contracts to gain exposure to, or hedge against, changes in the value of equities and interest rates. Initial margin deposits required upon entering into futures contracts are satisfied by the segregation of specific securities or cash as collateral for the account of the broker (the Fund’s agent in acquiring the futures position). During the period the futures contracts are open, changes in the value of the contracts are recognized as unrealized gains or losses by “marking to market” on a daily basis to reflect the market value of the contracts at the end of each day’s trading. Variation margin payments are received or made depending upon whether unrealized gains or losses are incurred. When the contracts are closed, the Funds recognize a realized gain or loss equal to the difference between the proceeds from, or cost of, the closing transaction and the Fund’s basis in the contract. If the Funds were unable to liquidate a futures contract and/or enter into an offsetting closing transaction, the Funds would continue to be subject to market risk with respect to the value of the contracts and continue to be required to maintain the margin deposits on the futures contracts. The Funds segregate cash having a value at least equal to the amount of the current obligation under any open futures contract. Risks may exceed amounts recognized in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. With futures, there is minimal counterparty credit risk to the Funds since futures are exchange traded and the exchange’s clearinghouse, as counterparty to all exchange traded futures, guarantees the futures against default.
 
The notional value of the derivative instruments outstanding as of April 30, 2015 as disclosed in the Schedule of Investments and the amounts realized and changes in unrealized gains and losses on derivative instruments during the period as disclosed above and within the Statement of Operations serve as indicators of the volume of derivative activity for the Funds.
 
g. Short Sales – A “short sale” is a transaction in which a Fund sells a security it does not own but has borrowed in anticipation that the market price of that security will decline. The Fund would be obligated to replace the security borrowed by purchasing it on the open market at a later date. If the price of the security sold short increases between the time of the short sale and the time the Fund replaces the borrowed security, the Fund will incur a loss. Conversely, if the price declines, the Fund will realize a gain.

i. Exchange Traded Funds – The Funds may invest in exchange traded funds (“ETFs”). ETFs are a type of index fund bought and sold on a securities exchange. An ETF trades like common stock and represents a fixed portfolio of securities designed to track the performance and dividend yield of a particular domestic or foreign market index. A Fund may purchase an ETF to temporarily gain exposure to a portion of the U.S. or a foreign market while awaiting purchase of underlying securities. The risks of owning an ETF generally reflect the risks of owning the underlying securities they are designed to track, although the lack of liquidity on an ETF could result in it being more volatile. Additionally, ETFs have fees and expenses that reduce their value.
 
j. Investment Transactions, Investment Income and Expenses – Investment transactions are recorded on a trade date basis. Realized gains and losses from investment transactions and foreign exchange transactions are calculated using the identified cost method. Dividend income and expense is recorded on the ex-dividend date (“ex-date”) except in the case of certain dividends from foreign securities, which are recorded as soon after the ex-date as the respective Fund, using reasonable diligence, becomes aware of such dividends. Interest income is recorded on an accrual basis. Discounts are accreted and premiums are amortized as adjustments to interest income and the identified cost of investments. Expenses of the Trust that are directly identifiable to a specific Fund are charged to that Fund. Expenses, which are not readily identifiable to a specific Fund, are allocated in such a manner as deemed equitable, taking into consideration the nature and type of expense and the relative sizes of the Funds. Each Fund’s income, expenses (other than the class specific distribution fees) and realized and unrealized gains and losses are allocated proportionally each day between the classes based upon the relative net assets of each class.
 
k. Concentration of Risk – Investing in securities of foreign issuers and currency transactions may involve certain considerations and risks not typically associated with investments in the United States. These risks include revaluation of currencies, adverse fluctuations in foreign currency values and possible adverse political, social and economic developments, including those particular to a specific industry, country or region. These conditions could cause the securities and their markets to be less liquid and prices more volatile than those of comparable U.S. companies and U.S. government securities.
 
Small capitalization (“small cap”) companies may be more vulnerable than larger capitalization companies to adverse business or economic developments. Small cap companies may also have limited product lines, markets or financial resources, and may be dependent on a relatively small management group. Securities of such companies may be less liquid and more volatile than securities

 
118

 
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited) 

April 30, 2015 (Continued)
 
of larger capitalization companies or the market averages in general and therefore may involve greater risk than investing in larger capitalization companies.
 
The ability of issuers of debt securities held by the Funds to meet their obligations may be affected by economic and political developments particular to a specific industry, country, state or region. Investments in lower grade debt securities are subject to special risks, including greater price volatility and a greater risk of loss of principal and interest.
 
Certain Funds may invest in collateralized mortgage obligations which are secured by groups of individual mortgages, but are similar to a conventional bond where the investor looks only to the issuer for payment of principal and interest. Although the obligations are recourse obligations to the issuer, the issuer typically has no significant assets, other than assets pledged as collateral for the obligations, and the market value of the collateral, which is sensitive to interest rate movements, may affect the market value of the obligations. A public market for a particular collateralized mortgage obligation may or may not develop and thus, there can be no guarantee of liquidity of an investment in such obligations.
 
The risk in writing a call option is that a Fund may forgo the opportunity of profit if the market value of the underlying security increases and the option is exercised, although any potential loss is reduced by the amount of option premium received. The risk in writing a put option is that a Fund may be called on to pay the exercise price of the option for a security that has decreased (potentially to zero) in market price, although any potential loss is reduced by the amount of option premium received. Generally, option transactions also involve risks concerning liquidity of the options market. An illiquid market for an option may limit a Fund’s ability to write options or enter closing transactions. As the options written by the Funds are traded on a national exchange, counterparty and credit risk are limited to the failure of the exchange on which the options are traded.
 
l. Federal Income Taxes – It is each Fund’s policy to continue to comply with all sections of the Internal Revenue Code applicable to regulated investment companies and to distribute all of its taxable income and gains, if any, to its shareholders and therefore, no provision for federal income tax has been made. Each Fund is treated as a separate taxpayer for federal income tax purposes. The Funds recognize the tax benefits of uncertain tax positions only when the position is “more likely than not” to be sustained assuming examination by tax authorities. Management has reviewed the tax positions in the open tax years of 2012 to 2014 (and July 31, 2013 for Alternative Strategy), and expected to be taken in tax year 2015 and concluded that no liability for unrecognized tax benefits should be recorded related to uncertain tax positions taken in the above open tax years. The Funds identify their major tax jurisdictions as U.S. Federal. 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. Generally tax authorities can examine tax returns filed for the last three years.
 
m. Distributions to Shareholders – It is each Fund’s policy to distribute its respective net investment income and net capital gains, if any, annually except for Monthly Distribution, Corporate/Government Bond, High-Yield Bond, Floating Rate Bond and International Opportunity Bond which will distribute their respective net investment income, if any, monthly. For Dynamic Macro and Alternative Income, dividends attributable to earned income, if any, will be declared and paid quarterly. Distributions of net investment income and net capital gains are determined in accordance with income tax regulations which may differ from GAAP. Differences in dividends from net investment income per share between the classes are due to service and distribution related expenses. Dividends and distributions to shareholders are recorded on ex-date.
 
n. Indemnification – The Trust indemnifies its officers and Trustees for certain liabilities that may arise from the performance of their duties to the Trust. Additionally, in the normal course of business, each Fund enters into contracts that contain a variety of representations and warranties and which provide general indemnities. A Fund’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown, as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Fund that have not yet occurred. However, based on experience, the Funds expect the risk of loss due to these warranties and indemnities to be remote.
 
3.           INVESTMENT ADVISORY FEES AND OTHER TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES
 
 
a.
 
Management Fees – Dunham & Associates serves as each Fund’s investment adviser. Pursuant to an investment advisory agreement with the Trust, on behalf of the Funds, Dunham & Associates, subject to the supervision of the Board and in conformity with the stated policies of the Funds, manages the operations of the Funds. The Adviser, subject to the review and approval of the Board, selects Sub-Advisers for each Fund and supervises and monitors the performance of each Sub-Adviser. As compensation for its services, each Fund pays the Adviser a fixed fee, accrued daily and paid monthly, based on each Fund’s respective average daily net assets. The Adviser has entered into a Sub-Advisory Agreement with each Sub-Adviser and the Trust, on behalf of each Fund. Under the Sub-Advisory Agreements, each Fund pays the Sub-Adviser a “Fulcrum Fee.” A Fulcrum Fee is a performance fee whereby the Sub-Adviser is rewarded when out-performing, or is penalized when under-performing, a Fund’s benchmark index. The Funds’ Fulcrum Fee arrangements have been in place, with few changes, since July 1, 2006. As a result of the Fulcrum Fee arrangement, the total annual management fee for a Fund will have a range as shown in the table below.

Prior to July 1, 2013, when a new fee schedule became effective, the Sub-Adviser had contractually agreed to reduce its base Sub-Advisory fee by 0.05%, from 0.35% to 0.30% annually as of May 10, 2013 until May 30, 2014.
**
Effective April 1, 2013, the Sub-Adviser had contractually agreed to waive a portion of its fee (excluding 12b-1 fees) until at least February 29, 2016, so that such fees, on annual basis, do not exceed 1.05% of the Fund’s aggregate average daily net assets of its Class N, Class A and Class C shares.
***
Prior to October 1,2014 when a new fee schedule became effective, the prior Sub-Adviser had contractually agreed to waive a portion of its fee to maintain the Fund’s total annual operating expenses (excluding any brokerage fees and commissions, indirect expenses, borrowing costs, taxes, and extraordinary expenses) at 1.59% for Class N Shares, 1.84% for Class A shares, and 2.59% for Class C shares; provided, however, that the annual Sub-Advisory fee shall in no case be waived to less than 0.10% of the Fund’s average daily net assets.
****
Effective April 1, 2015, the Sub-Adviser had contractually agreed to reduce its base Sub-Advisory fee by 0.15%, from 0.65% to 0.50% annually as of April 1, 2015 until April 30, 2016.
 
Each Fund’s Sub-Advisory Fulcrum Fee is calculated daily using an annual base Sub-Advisory fee of a specified amount of the average daily net assets of the Fund (the “Base Fee”), adjusted by the Fund’s Class N share performance relative to the Fund’s benchmark (the “Performance Fee”). Depending on a Fund’s net performance versus its benchmark, the Sub-Adviser will receive a fee adjustment in accordance with a formula that equates a percentage of out- or under-performance to a percentage of fee increases or decreases, respectively. In addition, most Fulcrum Fees employ a “null zone” around the base fee, whereby small differences in performance versus the benchmark will not trigger a fee increase or decrease. During the first 12 months of the Fulcrum Fee arrangement, the Performance Fee is calculated daily from inception date of the agreement to the calculation date and is applied to the average daily net assets of the Fund during the calculation period. After the initial 12 months, the Performance Fee is calculated on a daily basis based on comparative performance over a rolling 12-month period. All Funds, with the exception of Dynamic Macro and Appreciation & Income which are in their initial year of its Fulcrum Fee arrangement, are calculating Performance Fees on a rolling 12-month basis as of April 30, 2015.
 
Depending on the particular Sub-Advisory Agreement, the Performance Fee can adjust the Base Fee up or down by as much as 100% of the Base Fee, such that the Sub-Advisory fee can vary anywhere from 0.00% (the “Minimum Fee”) to twice the Base Fee (the “Maximum Fee”). However, because each such Sub-Advisory Agreement requires that the Sub-Adviser only be paid out the monthly Minimum Fee during the first year (in most cases, 0.10%), the Sub-Adviser, in most cases, will receive less compensation until the end of the first year. At the end of the first year of the agreement, the Sub-Adviser will be paid a lump sum that reflects the accrued Fulcrum Fee over the year, less any Minimum Fees paid out during the first year. Therefore, in the first year, the Fulcrum Fee methodology has three elements: 1) daily calculation of the Performance Fee and daily accrual of the Fulcrum Fee; 2) monthly payment of the Minimum Fee only (if any); and 3) a lump sum payment at the end of the initial 12-month period of the accrued Fulcrum Fee less the Minimum Fee.
 
By virtue of using average daily net assets over a “rolling” 12-month period for purposes of calculating the Performance Fee while using average daily net assets for the most recent month for purposes of calculating the Base Fee, the actual total Fulcrum Fee paid by the Fund to the Sub-Adviser may be higher or lower than the maximum or minimum annual rates described above if the average daily net assets do not remain constant during the rolling 12-month period. If the Fund is significantly underperforming versus the Index and the Fund’s net assets have declined significantly, the monthly total Fulcrum Fee can be a negative number (although the performance fee rate can never be negative, the Performance Fee can be negative). In such instances, if the negative Fulcrum Fee is not earned back or offset the following month, the Sub-Adviser must reimburse the Fund the amount of the negative Fulcrum Fee within an agreed upon time. Likewise, in the case where the Fund has significantly underperformed versus the Index but net assets have increased significantly, the monthly total Fulcrum Fee can be positive although the performance fee rate may be 0.00%. In such instances, the Fund will pay the Sub-Adviser the monthly Fulcrum Fee.

Permanent book and tax differences, primarily attributable to net operating losses, non-deductible expenses, character of distributions, foreign currency exchange gains (losses), paydown gains (losses), partnerships, C Corp return of capital, swap gains (losses) and adjustments for passive foreign investment companies, reclassifications of gains on contingent convertible debt securities, real estate investment trusts, business development companies, grantor trusts, partnerships and the capitalization of in lieu dividend payments made in connection with short sales of stock that have not been held open for more than 45 days resulted in reclassification for the tax year ended October 31, 2014 as follows:

The difference between book basis and tax basis unrealized appreciation (depreciation), undistributed net investment income (loss) and accumulated net realized gain (loss) from security transactions are primarily attributable to the tax deferral of losses on wash sales and straddles, adjustments for gains on contingent convertible debt securities, mark-to-market on open forward foreign currency contracts, options, futures and swap contracts, and adjustments for real estate investment trusts, passive foreign investment companies, royalty trusts, constructive sales of securities held short, partnerships and C Corporation return of capital distributions.

FACTORS CONSIDERED BY THE INDEPENDENT TRUSTEES IN APPROVAL OF INVESTMENT ADVISORY AND SUB-ADVISORY AGREEMENTS
 
Meeting of the Board of Trustees Held on December 16, 2014
 
At a regular meeting of the Board of Trustees (the “Board”) of the Trust held on December 16, 2014 (the “Meeting”), the Board, including all of the Trustees who are not interested persons of the Trust (the “Independent Trustees”), considered the renewal of an investment advisory agreement between the Trust, on behalf of each series of the Trust, and the Adviser (the “Investment Advisory Agreement”) and continuance of certain sub-advisory agreements (the “Sub-Advisory Agreements”) among the Trust, the Adviser and the following sub-advisers (each a “Sub-Adviser,” collectively, the “Sub-Advisers”): 1) Newfleet Asset Management LLC (“Newfleet”) with respect to Corporate/Government Bond; 2) Westchester Capital Management, LLC (“Westchester”) with respect to Monthly Distribution; 3) PENN Capital Management Co., Inc. (“PENN”) with respect to High-Yield Bond; 4) Market Concepts, LLC (“Market Concepts”) with respect to Alternative Strategy; 5) C.S. McKee, L.P. (“C.S. McKee”) with respect with Large Cap Value; 6) Harbor Springs Financial Management, LLC (“Harbor Springs”) with respect to Alternative Income; 7) Cornerstone Real Estate Advisers LLC (“Cornerstone”) with respect to Real Estate Stock; 8) Arrowstreet Capital, L.P. (“Arrowstreet”) with respect to International Stock; 9) Piermont Capital Management, LLC (“Piermont”) with respect to Small Cap Value; 10) Bailard, Inc. (“Bailard”) with respect to Emerging Markets Stock; and 11) Pier Capital, LLC (“Pier”) with respect to Small Cap Growth (each a “Fund” and, collectively, the “Funds”).
 
Continuance of Investment Advisory Agreement for each of Monthly Distribution, Corporate/Government Bond, High-Yield Bond, Dynamic Macro, Appreciation & Income, Large Cap Value, Floating Rate Bond, International Opportunity Bond, Focused Large Cap Growth, International Stock, Real Estate Stock, Small Cap Value, Small Cap Growth, Emerging Markets Stock, Alternative Income, and Alternative Strategy
 
The Trustees reviewed information related to the proposed renewal of the Investment Advisory Agreement with the Trust, including (a) the investment performance of each Fund, a peer group of funds and appropriate indices; (b) the Adviser’s personnel and resources; and (c) comparative fees and expenses of a peer group of funds. The Board relied upon the advice of independent legal counsel and their own business judgment in determining the material factors to be considered in evaluating the Investment Advisory Agreement and the weight to be given to each factor. The conclusions reached by the Board were based on a comprehensive evaluation of all of the information provided and were not the result of any one factor. Matters considered by the Board, including the Independent Trustees, in connection with its approval of the continuance of the Investment Advisory Agreement included the following:
 
Nature, Extent and Quality of Services. The Independent Trustees considered the nature, extent and quality of services provided to the Funds by the Adviser. The Trustees considered the Adviser’s strong emphasis on compliance, including its oversight of the Sub-Advisers and other service providers. They discussed the depth and experience of the Adviser’s key professional staff, which had been further enhanced by the hiring of a general counsel. The Trustees were gratified that key employees of the Adviser regularly attend Board meetings to explain investment strategies, compliance and marketing initiatives, and which they agreed allows for an open dialog between the Board and the Adviser. The Trustees considered the Adviser’s very active monitoring of the Sub-Advisers as evidenced by changes implemented during the year, as well as the Adviser’s due diligence in recommending new sub-advisers to the Board. The Trustees discussed the Adviser’s consistent focus on costs and emphasis on delivering value to shareholders. The Independent Trustees expressed satisfaction with the Adviser’s services and concluded that the Adviser has sufficient quality and depth of personnel, resources, investment methods and compliance policies and procedures necessary for performing its duties under the Advisory Agreement and that the nature, overall quality and extent of the management services provided by the Adviser to the Funds is consistent with their expectations.
 
Performance. As to investment performance, the Board reviewed the performance of each Fund as compared to the average performance of its respective peer group (the “Peer Group”) and Morningstar category (“Morningstar Average”) (collectively, the “Comparison Groups”) for 1-year, 3-year, 5-year and since inception time periods (as applicable) through October 31, 2014:
 
With respect to Monthly Distribution, the Board noted that the Fund has outperformed its Peer Group and Morningstar Average across all the time periods since its inception in 2008. The Trustees discussed that the Fund has performed consistently well.
 
With respect to Corporate/Government Bond, the Board noted that since the Fund’s inception in 2004, it has outperformed its Peer Group and exceeded or was in-line with its Morningstar Average. The Trustees considered that the Fund has consistently performed well since inception, especially compared to the Peer Group, and agreed that they were pleased with the Fund’s performance.

 
132

 
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION (Unaudited) (Continued) 

 
With respect to High-Yield Bond, the Board noted that the Fund has underperformed its Peer Group and Morningstar Average during the relevant time periods. The Board took into consideration that the Fund’s strategy is generally more conservative in nature than its Peer Group and less volatile, which provides for less downside in a negative high-yield environment but at the expense of lower positive performance in more positive high-yield environments. The Adviser provided supplemental information regarding risk metrics, including capture ratios, to the Trustees. The Trustees agreed that in light of the risk characteristics of the Fund, they found the Fund’s returns were reasonable.
 
With respect to Dynamic Macro, the Board noted that there was a change in Sub-Adviser and investment strategy as of October 1, 2014. Therefore, with the exception of one month, the Fund’s performance history since inception in 2012 through September 30, 2014 was tied to its former sub-adviser. The Trustees noted that the Adviser recognized the Fund’s underperformance and took action to change course. The Board agreed that it looks forward to improved performance and believes the new strategy is a positive addition to the Fund family.
 
With respect to Appreciation & Income, the Board noted that that a new Sub-Adviser began managing the Fund on October 1, 2014 and that, with the exception of one month, the performance over the various time periods ended October 31, 2014 was that of the former sub-adviser. The Trustees agreed that they were pleased with the Adviser’s recommendation of the new Sub-Adviser for the Fund, which they expect will obtain an acceptable level of investment return for the Fund’s shareholders.
 
With respect to Large Cap Value, the Board noted that across all the time periods, the Fund generally performed in line with or outperformed its Peer Group and the Morningstar Average, with the exception of the 3-year period, when the Fund returned 16.25% vs. 18.24% for the Morningstar Average. The 3-year underperformance versus the Morningstar Average was primarily attributable to the Fund missing a small amount of extreme gains as compared to the Morningstar Average. The Trustees considered the size of the Fund and indicated that overall, the Fund’s performance was satisfactory.
 
With respect to Floating Rate Bond, the Board noted that with returns of 1.42%, the Fund underperformed the Peer Group and Morningstar Average returns of 3.32% and 2.93%, respectively, in its first year of operations. The Trustees considered that in the first two months of operations (November and December 2013), each Peer Group fund rose approximately 1% on average, which the Fund generally missed due the long settlement timeframe of approximately 3 weeks for investments in bank loans. Therefore, the Fund was not fully-invested until 2014. The Independent Trustees agreed that performance was satisfactory in light of the specialized nature of the Fund and looked forward to observing the Fund’s performance over a longer market cycle.
 
With respect to International Opportunity Bond, the Board noted that at -2.99%, the Fund underperformed the Peer Group and Morningstar Average returns of 0.21% and 2.62%, respectively, since its inception in November 2013. The Trustees considered that the Fund invests strictly in international bonds and therefore, unlike many of the funds in the Comparison Groups, did not benefit from the recent strong performance of the US market. They discussed the fact that the Peer Group is generally less exposed to the US market, making it a better benchmark. The Trustees agreed to continue to monitor the Fund’s performance as it would be more meaningful to reevaluate the Fund over a longer market cycle.
 
With respect to Focused Large Cap Growth, the Board noted that Fund significantly underperformed over the 1-year, with returns of 8.48%, compared to 13.92% for the Peer Group, and 18.51% for the Morningstar Average over the same time period. The Trustees also discussed that the longer term performance was more in line with the Comparison Groups with Fund returns of 15.58% since inception, compared to 18.51% for the Peer Group, and 19.75% for the Morningstar Average. The Board considered that the Fund’s low assets in the first three months of operations detracted from the Fund’s early performance and that the Fund experienced significant price declines in its technology holdings earlier in the year, many of which have since rebounded. The Trustees agreed that the Fund’s 1-year performance was not indicative of the Fund’s potential and expressed optimism for the Fund’s longer-term track record.
 
With respect to International Stock, the Board noted that the Fund outperformed its Comparison Groups across all the time periods and indicated their satisfaction with both the Adviser and Sub-Adviser.
 
With respect to Real Estate Stock, the Board noted that the Fund outperformed its Comparison Groups for the 1-, 3- and 5-year time periods and, at 7.31%, outperformed the Peer Group and slightly lagged the Morningstar Average, which were 6.31% and 7.71%, respectively, for the period since inception in December 2004. The Trustees indicated that they were pleased with the Fund’s performance.
 
With respect to Small Cap Value, the Board noted that the Fund outperformed its Comparison Groups over the 1-year period, with returns of 10.22% vs. 5.54% for the Peer Group and 7.21% for the Morningstar Average. The Trustees further noted that the Fund’s Sub-Adviser was replaced in July 2013 and were gratified by the Adviser’s ability to identify good sub-advisory candidates.

 
133

 
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION (Unaudited) (Continued) 

 
With respect to Small Cap Growth, the Board noted that the Fund outperformed or performed in line with its Peer Group and Morningstar Category across all time periods, with the exception of the most recent 1-year time period when the Fund returned 3.59% compared to 5.39% and 6.02% for the Peer Group and Morningstar Average, respectively. The Trustees considered the Fund’s exposure to information technology and energy stocks that detracted from the 1-year performance, and noted that the Fund’s long-term performance was more than satisfactory.
 
With respect to Emerging Markets Stock, the Board noted that the Fund outperformed its Peer Group for the 1-year period, was generally in line with the Peer Group for the 3-, 5- and since inception time periods and underperformed its Morningstar Average across all time periods. The Board considered that the Fund’s Sub-Adviser, which has only been managing the Fund since July 2013, is responsible for the 1-year performance. The Trustees indicated satisfaction with the performance of the Fund and optimism for the longer-term.
 
With respect to Alternative Income, the Board noted that the Fund outperformed or was in line with its Peer Group for the 1-year and since inception time periods and the Fund’s performance for the 1-year period and since inception time periods, 7.76% and 10.01%, respectively, lagged its Morningstar Average returns of 9.09% and 12.20% for the same time periods, respectively. The Trustees considered the Adviser’s view that the Fund generally does not align with other funds in the Morningstar category because the Fund generally invests in securities that generate a higher than average dividend yield where the funds in the Morningstar category generally seek a high total return. In addition, the Trustees noted that the Fund generally has a higher weighting in master limited partnerships and utilities than the other funds. The Trustees noted that the Sub-Adviser appears committed to the Fund’s strategy and expressed that overall, they are satisfied with the positive returns of the Fund and are optimistic regarding prospects for the Fund.
 
With respect to Alternative Strategy, the Board noted that the Fund outperformed or was in line with its Peer Group for the 1, 3 and 5-years and since inception (2009) periods, outperformed its Morningstar Average for the 3-year period, but underperformed over the 1-year, 5-year, and since inception time periods. During their evaluation, the Trustees took into account that only two other funds in the Morningstar category have a performance track record as long as the Fund. The Trustees discussed that the Fund is intended to not correlate to the bond or equity market, and the Sub-Adviser appears to by achieving this goal with less volatility than a typical equity investment, and they indicated satisfaction with the Sub-adviser’s long-term performance as presented to the Board.
 
As a result of their review, the Independent Trustees concluded that the Adviser, through its Sub-Advisers, had provided acceptable returns to shareholders.
 
Fees and Expenses. As to the costs of the services to be provided and profits to be realized by Dunham & Associates, the Board discussed the comparison of management fees and total operating expense data and reviewed each Fund’s advisory fees and overall expenses as compared to the Peer Group and Morningstar Average. The Trustees also considered the underwriting and 12b-1 fees paid to the Adviser. It was the consensus of the Board that, based on the Adviser’s expertise, the fees charged by the Adviser and its Sub-Advisers were reasonable.
 
With respect to Monthly Distribution, the Board noted that the net expense ratio, which includes interest and dividends, was higher than the average of the Comparison Groups. The Trustees further noted that the Morningstar Average excludes certain expenses. The Trustees considered the Fund’s performance record, noting Monthly Distribution’s significant outperformance of its benchmark index, which resulted in the Sub-Adviser earning close to its maximum fulcrum fee.
 
With respect to Corporate/Government Bond, the Board noted the Fund’s higher management fee and discussed that this was largely due to the Fund’s performance earning the Sub-Adviser a significant amount of its maximum fulcrum fee.
 
With respect to High-Yield Bond, the Board discussed that the Fund’s management fee is higher than the average of Comparison Groups and noted that the gross expense ratio is in line with or lower than the Morningstar Average and Peer Group, respectively. The Trustees noted the Fund’s net expense ratio of 1.11% versus 0.87% and 0.82% for the Peer Group and Morningstar Average, respectively. The Trustees further discussed the high-quality of the Sub-Adviser and concluded that the net expense ratio was acceptable.
 
With respect to Dynamic Macro, the Board noted that the management fee of 1.40% is higher than the average of the Comparison Groups. The Trustees discussed that the Sub-Adviser began managing the Fund in October 2014 and that the fulcrum fee component of the Sub-Advisory fee is reflected at the base rate. The Trustees noted that the management fee was an estimate and could increase or decrease during the year based on the Sub-Adviser’s performance.
 
With respect to Appreciation & Income, the Board noted that the management fee and net expense ratio was above the average of the Comparison Groups. The Trustees noted that the Sub-Adviser began managing the Fund in October 2014

and that the fulcrum fee component of the Sub-Advisory fee is reflected at the base rate. The Trustees noted that the management fee was an estimate and could increase or decrease during the year based on the Sub-Adviser’s performance. The Trustees also heard from the Adviser that the Fund’s Morningstar category is expected to be changed to more closely align with the Sub-Adviser’s convertibles securities strategy, which would impact the fee comparisons.
 
With respect to Large Cap Value, the Board considered that the management fee of 0.65% was below the Peer Group and the same as the Morningstar Category, while the gross expense ratio was below the Comparison Group and the net expense ratio was lower that the Peer Group and higher than the Morningstar Average. The Trustees discussed the impact of future performance on fees and concluded that the fee structure is reasonable.
 
With respect to Floating Rate Bond and International Bond, the Board noted that the management fees and net expense ratios of each Fund, which recently completed their first year of operations, are higher than the Comparison Groups’ averages. The Trustees discussed the impact of performance on fees, noting that each Fund’s fulcrum fee was at the base rate.
 
With respect to Focused Large Cap Growth, the Board noted that the management fee is slightly higher than the average of the Comparison Groups. The Trustees discussed the impact of performance on fees and noted that absent the Fund’s performance, the management fee would have been closer to the Comparison Groups.
 
With respect to International Stock, the Board discussed the Adviser and Sub-Adviser fees, and also considered that, although the Fund’s net expense ratio was above the Comparison Groups’ average, it was within an acceptable range given the Fund’s strong performance.
 
With respect to Real Estate Stock, the Board noted that the Fund’s management fee and gross expense ratios are in line with or lower than the Peer Group, while the management fee and gross expenses are in line with the Morningstar Average. Overall, the Trustees concluded that the Fund’s advisory and sub-advisory fees and net expense ratio were acceptable.
 
 With respect to Small Cap Value, the Trustees considered that the management fee is lower than the Comparison Groups, due primarily to the Sub-Adviser earning close to its minimum fee. They further noted that the Fund’s net expense ratio is just below its Peer Group and higher than the Morningstar Average. The Trustees discussed that the higher net expenses versus the Morningstar Average appears to be primarily due to the impact of larger funds that may benefit from economies of scale as compared to the Fund.
 
 With respect to Small Cap Growth, the Board noted that the management fee is below the Comparison Groups, due primarily to the Sub-Adviser earning close to its minimum fee. The Trustees further noted that the Fund’s net expense ratio is in line with its Peer Group, although higher than the Morningstar Average. They recognized that some of the funds in the Morningstar Average benefit from economies of scale owing to their size.
 
With respect to Emerging Markets Stock, the Board noted that the Fund’s total management fee is higher than the Comparison Group and discussed that the Sub-Adviser earned a fee higher than its base fee due to the Fund’s performance.
 
With respect to Alternative Income, the Board noted that the management fee is higher than the Comparison Groups and the Fund’s gross expense ratio is in line with its Peer Group and higher than the Morningstar Average. The Trustees discussed that the Fund’s higher gross expenses are primarily due to the higher management fee versus the Comparison Groups. They noted that in contrast to some of the funds in the Comparison Groups, Alternative Income is actively managed and the Trustees concluded that the net expense ratio was acceptable.
 
With respect to Alternative Strategy, the Board discussed that management fees are lower than the Comparison Groups. The Trustees noted that the Fund’s net expense ratio was in-line with the Peer Group and above the Morningstar Average and considered the effect of fee waivers generally in place within the Morningstar Average and concluded that the net expense ratio was acceptable.
 
The Trustees reviewed and discussed each Fund’s advisory fees and overall expenses compared to peer groups of similarly managed funds. The Trustees discussed that while the advisory fees do not necessarily have to be the lowest compared to the peer groups, it is their duty to evaluate whether the advisory fees are reasonable. The Trustees noted that the Adviser’s advisory fees range from 0.50% to 0.65%, which, when combined with the Sub-Adviser fees, are generally higher than the Peer Group averages when a Fund is performing well, but in some cases lower than the Peer Group averages when a Fund is underperforming. They noted that the Adviser’s fee ranges are reasonably applied based on the nature of the Fund (i.e. bond vs. equity or alternative vs. traditional). The Trustees noted that currently five Funds are considered “alternative” and

generally require enhanced oversight compared to more traditional asset classes. The Trustees discussed the level of work involved in the Adviser’s oversight of the Funds and its on-going quantitative and qualitative analysis of Sub-Advisers and concluded that the Advisory’s advisory fees are reasonable in light of such services.
 
Profitability. The Trustees reviewed an analysis of profitability provided by the Adviser. The Trustees took into account possible benefits derived by the Adviser from its relationship with the Funds. The Trustees acknowledged that the Adviser, in its capacity as a broker, receives commissions and distribution fees when its customers purchase the Funds, but the Adviser does not execute trades on behalf of the Funds and therefore receives no compensation on portfolio trades. The Trustees concluded that profits from the Adviser’s relationship with each Fund were reasonable and at a level to adequately incentivize the Adviser to continue to provide high quality services.
 
Economies of Scale. As to economies of scale, the Trustees noted that the Advisory Agreement does not contain breakpoints that reduce the fee rate on assets above specified levels. The Trustees agreed that breakpoints may be an appropriate way for the Adviser to share its economies of scale with the Funds and the shareholders if the Funds experience substantial growth in assets; however, the Trustees recognized that no Fund had yet reached an asset level where the Adviser (or Sub-Adviser) could realize significant economies of scale. The Trustees noted that economies of scale would need to be considered in future as net asset levels of the Funds grow. The Trustees noted that at a previous contracts renewal meeting, the Adviser explained that it is prepared to offer concessions to the Funds at appropriate asset levels, and in anticipation of such, had discussed a proposed breakpoint schedule that reflects the economies of scale that the Adviser anticipates realizing. The Trustees concluded that the absence of breakpoints was still acceptable under the current circumstances, and they agreed to continue to evaluate the issue with respect to each Fund as assets increase, and to work with the Adviser to negotiate reasonable breakpoints.
 
Continuance of Sub-Advisory Agreements for each of Corporate/Government Bond, Monthly Distribution, High-Yield Bond, Alternative Strategy, Large Cap Value, Alternative Income, Real Estate Stock, International Stock, Small Cap Value, Emerging Markets Stock and Small Cap Growth
 
The Trustees discussed the extensive written materials provided by the Adviser and each Sub-Adviser prior to the Meeting. The Board relied upon the advice of independent legal counsel and their own business judgment in determining the material factors to be considered in evaluating the Sub-Advisory Agreements and the weight to be given to each factor. In its deliberations, the Board did not identify any single piece of information that was all-important or controlling. Matters considered by the Board, including the Independent Trustees, in connection with its approval of the continuance of each of the Sub-Advisory Agreements included the following:
 
Nature, Extent and Quality of Services. As to the nature, extent and quality of the services provided by each of the Sub-Advisers, the Board reviewed the materials provided by each Sub-Adviser. The Trustees considered the experience and education of the portfolio management and professional staff of each of the Sub-Advisers and noted the Adviser’s overall satisfaction with the level of services provided by each Sub-Adviser. Representatives of the Adviser reviewed their working relationship with each Sub-Adviser, including the observation of the Trust’s CCO with respect to compliance matters. The Trustees noted that the Adviser actively and continuously evaluates quality of service delivered by the Sub-Advisers and is satisfied with the current line-up of Sub-Advisers. The Trustees concluded that each of the Sub-Advisers provides a level of service that is consistent with the Board’s expectations.
 
Performance. As to the performance of each Sub-Adviser, the Trustees noted its thorough review and discussion of each Fund’s performance during its earlier evaluation of the Advisory Agreement and their conclusion that the performance of each Fund is acceptable.
 
Cost of Services. As to the cost of the services provided and the profits realized by each Sub-Adviser, the Board considered the Base Fee (as defined in the Sub-Advisory Agreements) paid to each Sub-Adviser when the performance of the Fund is equal to that of the Index plus or minus a “null” zone. Where provided, the Trustees compared advisory (and sub-advisory) fees (both flat fee rates and performance fee rates) charged by each Sub-Adviser to its other accounts and concluded that each Sub-Adviser’s base fee compared favorably.
 
The Trustees also discussed at length the operation of the Performance Fee and the impact on fees and expenses based on various performance results. They discussed the unique nature of the Performance Fee, which results in higher fees when the Sub-Adviser delivers results, and how this fact must be integrated into their analysis of fees. The Board noted its thorough review and discussion of each Fund’s fees and expenses during its earlier evaluation of the Advisory Agreement and their conclusion that the sub-advisory fees were within a reasonable range.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION (Unaudited) (Continued) 

 
The Board then considered the potential fee adjustments to be made to each Fund’s Base Fee based on performance. The Trustees affirmed their belief that the 12-month period over which performance is computed is sufficiently long to provide a reasonable basis for indicating performance. The Trust officers confirmed that the performance adjustment to the Base Fee had been calculated daily during the first twelve months, based on the average net assets of each Fund from inception of the contract to date, and the comparative performance of each Fund (based on Class N shares) to the relevant Index. The Trustees confirmed their belief that the method by which the Performance Fee is calculated under the Sub-Advisory Agreements ensures that any significant fee adjustments are attributable to Sub-Adviser’s skill or lack thereof, rather than to random fluctuations, and the performance fee clearly aligns the Sub-Advisers’ interest with those of the shareholders. It was the consensus of the Board that the maximum performance adjustment under each Sub-Advisory Agreement continue to reflect performance differences that could reasonably be considered meaningful and significant taking into account each Fund’s size, volatility, diversification and variability of performance differences. After consideration, the Board was satisfied that in each case, the relationship of the fee adjustments to the Base Fee was not disproportionately large and that each Fund’s sub-advisory fee was acceptable in light of all of the factors discussed.
 
Profitability. As to profitability, the Trustees discussed the total fees previously paid, and expected to be paid to each Sub-Adviser based on each Fund’s current assets, and noted that payments above the Base Fee are dependent on the Sub-Adviser’s performance relative to the applicable index. They noted that the Sub-Advisers generally receive no other compensation from the Fund or the Adviser except the sub-advisory fees earned pursuant to their respective Sub-Advisory Agreement and in some cases, soft dollars and brokerage fees paid to affiliates. The Trustees reviewed financial information and profitability analysis of the Sub-Advisers that provided this information and noted that certain Sub-Advisers had yet to realize profits. However, the Trustees concluded that in light of the alignment of interests between the Sub-Advisers and shareholders created by the performance-based fulcrum fee arrangement, the fee arrangement is reasonable and no Sub-Advisers would reap excessive profits from their relationship with the Fund because any increase in fees are tied to performance. They noted that the Sub-Advisory fees will be higher for better performance by a Fund and agreed that profitability did not appear to be excessive in any instance.
 
Economies of Scale. The Trustees discussed the relevance of economies of scale in the context of Sub-Advisers that receive a performance based fee. They agreed that the Adviser had successfully negotiated a favorable Base Fee with each Sub-Adviser, and that reductions based on asset growth, when coupled with the possibility of fee reductions based on performance, could hinder the Adviser’s ability to attract top sub-advisory talent. The Trustees agreed that pursuing breakpoints with any of the Sub-Advisers would not be in the best interests of shareholders at this time.
 
Conclusion. Having requested and received such information from the Adviser and Sub-Advisers as the Board believed to be reasonably necessary to evaluate the terms of the proposed Investment Advisory Agreement and each Sub-Advisory Agreement, and as assisted by the advice of independent counsel, the Board, including all of the Independent Trustees, unanimously concluded that (a) the terms of each of the Investment Advisory Agreement and Sub-Advisory Agreements are fair and reasonable; (b) that the advisory fees and sub-advisory fees were for services different than those provided by any underlying fund’s adviser and are not duplicative; and (c) the continuance of Investment Advisory Agreement and Sub-Advisory Agreements are in the best interests of the respective Funds, their shareholders and their prospective shareholders.

DUNHAM FUNDS’ EXPENSES (Unaudited) 

 
Example
Shareholders of mutual funds will pay (1) transitional costs, such as sales load, and (2) ongoing expenses, such as advisory fees, distribution and service fees (12b-1), and other fund expenses. The following examples are intended to help you understand the ongoing cost (in dollars) of investing in a fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds. Please note, the expenses shown in the tables are meant to highlight ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transactional costs, such as sales charges (loads), or contingent deferred sales charges on redemptions which may be assessed by mutual funds. This Example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period as indicated below.
 
Actual Expenses
The columns under the heading entitled “Actual” help you estimate the actual expenses you paid over the period. The “Actual-Ending Account Value” shown is derived from the Fund’s actual return, and the “Actual- Expenses Paid During Period” shows the dollar amount that would have been paid by an investor who started with $1,000 in the Fund. To estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this 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 column under the heading entitled “Actual-Expenses Paid During Period”.
 
Hypothetical Examples for Comparison Purposes
The columns under the heading entitled “Hypothetical” provide information about hypothetical account value and hypothetical expenses based on the Fund’s actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Fund’s actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Fund and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of 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 which may be applicable to your account. Therefore, the last column of the table (Hypothetical- Expenses Paid During Period) 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.
