Resource Real Estate Diversified Income Fund

Shareholder Letter

September 30, 2018 (Unaudited)

Dear Shareholders:

We are pleased to present you with the Resource Real Estate Diversified Income Fund (the “Fund”) Annual Report for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2018. As the Fund’s investment adviser, Resource Real Estate, LLC has maintained a consistent and disciplined approach to investing the Fund’s capital throughout changing market conditions and has continued to deliver on its key investment goals of current income and long-term capital appreciation with low to moderate volatility and low to moderate correlation to the broader equity markets.

The Fund’s real estate investment universe remains broadly comprised of the following three relatively equally weighted strategies: Public Equity (including equity real estate investment trusts (“REITs”) and floating-rate mortgage REITs); Credit (including real estate private credit funds and preferred REIT equity); and Private Equity (predominantly real estate private equity funds). Each strategy offers distinct advantages in facilitating the Fund’s investment objectives of producing current income and achieving long-term capital appreciation with low to moderate volatility and low to moderate correlation to the broader equity markets. For example, investments in Private Equity offer strong capital stability and appreciation potential, investments in Credit offer stronger capital protection and income potential, and investments in Public Equity offer strong liquidity and income potential along with access to unique property types that have attractive risk adjusted return profiles and are not readily available in the private market.

As part of the Fund’s recurring asset management, we determine the appropriate balance among the Fund’s investment strategies. We base this decision on where we see the best risk-adjusted value in the context of achieving the Fund’s strategic objectives of producing current income and achieving long-term capital appreciation with low to moderate volatility and low to moderate correlation to the broader equity markets.

Investment Environment

While real estate, credit and broader economic cycles continue to mature, U.S. real estate debt and equity capital markets remain healthy with ample liquidity and relatively stable asset values. The strength of the overall economy, disciplined credit underwriting and ample capital markets liquidity are key considerations in our assessment. In particular, employment growth remains strong, averaging 211,0001 new jobs per month over the last 12 months. Further, while new development projects are dampening the rate of growth in rents in some markets, we believe the pace of new supply remains manageable relative to past cycles. As a result, the National Association of Realtors is forecasting relatively stable vacancy rates for 2018 in core real estate categories.²

The US NAREIT³Index generated a 3.35% total return over the 12 months ended September 30, 2018 as investors balanced strong economic growth and favorable commercial real estate fundamentals with rising interest rates and flattening cap rates. The yield on 10-Year U.S. Treasury Notes climbed 73 basis points from 2.33% to 3.06% during this period, representing a headwind for real estate valuations. The impact from rising rates was at least partially offset by accelerating GDP growth as well as ample liquidity in the commercial real estate markets. Specifically, real estate property values were buoyed by strong liquidity. According to London-based alternative investment research firm Preqin, real estate private equity firms had approximately $176 billion in cash to invest as of June 30, 2018,⁴ which was a 21% year-over-year increase from $145 billion as of June 30, 2017. Nevertheless, real estate dramatically underperformed the S&P 500 Index, which registered a total return of 17.90% over the same period.

As we would expect with later-cycle activity, returns for publicly traded REITs varied widely by sub-sector during the Fund’s fiscal year. Hotels (+15.31%)⁵ were well positioned to benefit from strength in the economy while Industrial REITs (+8.07%)⁶capitalized on growing demand for warehouse space due to favorable E-commerce dynamics. At the other end of the spectrum, oversupply in senior living contributed to the Healthcare sector’s total return of negative 1.44%7 and tenant bankruptcies coupled with soft demand for space contributed to the Shopping Center sector’s total return of negative 0.25%.⁸

As the real estate market progresses further into the current cycle, we believe it will be increasingly important to maintain risk-adjusted discipline around opportunistically allocating investments across the capital stack and property types with favorable supply and demand factors.

Investment Positioning

We target an approximately equal weighting in each of our three main strategies but will diverge from that balanced approach when we believe we can capture risk-adjusted returns with low to moderate volatility. Within each strategy, we also target investments that complement the Fund’s income, volatility, distribution coverage, liquidity and total return profiles. At September 30, 2018, the Fund was slightly overweight in Credit, which we believe positions it defensively to better withstand potential market, industry and economic dislocations as the real estate cycle continues to mature. As relative value between the Fund’s strategies shifts in the coming year, we will continue to rebalance as appropriate.

Moreover, in anticipation of rising interest rates, the Fund has rebalanced its Credit strategy in favor of floating rate securities. This was primarily achieved by reducing exposure in REIT preferred securities and commercial mortgage-backed securities while adding investments in real estate private credit funds that primarily hold floating rate commercial real estate mortgages. We have also increased the Fund’s allocation to publicly traded mortgage REITs within the Public Equity strategy.

The Fund seeks broad diversification⁹ not only at the asset level but also across real estate sectors and the capital stack. Such diversification may protect the Fund’s portfolio as real estate markets continue to adjust to cyclical, fundamental and policy changes. Furthermore, our commitment to thorough fundamental research is intended to enhance our security selection within each strategy.

Fund Performance

Throughout the year, the Fund continued to deliver on its objectives of attractive current income and lower volatility relative to the broader equity markets. Since inception on March 12, 2013 through September 30, 2018, the Fund has paid a consistent distribution for 22 straight quarters, which corresponded to an annualized rate of 5.75%¹⁰ as of September 30, 2018. In addition, during the twelve months ended September 30, 2018, the Fund’s volatility (as measured by standard deviation) was 5.02% compared to 12.56% for the S&P 500 and 12.92% for the US NAREIT Index.

We believe that the Fund’s higher allocation to floating-rate real estate credit investments contributed to its outperformance relative to broader commercial real estate market benchmarks. For the fiscal year ended September 30, 2018, the Fund’s class A shares generated a total return of 9.11% as compared to a total return of 3.35% for the US NAREIT Index and 7.16% for the NCREIF Private Commercial Real Estate Property Index during the same period.

We are proud of the Fund’s track record over the past five years and believe that our approach to asset allocation, security selection and diversification will enable us to continue to deliver on our key investment objectives over the course of the next year and beyond.

Thank you for being a shareholder of the Resource Real Estate Diversified Income Fund.

Sincerely,

Justin Milberg

To calculate the quarterly distribution, the Fund’s management takes the income received from the Fund’s portfolio, subtracts expenses and divides the result by the total number of shares the Fund’s investors own. The annualized distribution represents a single distribution from the Fund and does not represent the total returns of the Fund. A portion of the Fund’s distribution has been comprised of a return of capital because certain Fund investments have included preferred and common equity investments, which may include a return of capital. Distributions are not guaranteed.

Resource Real Estate Diversified Income Fund

Notes to Financial Statements

September 30, 2018

1. ORGANIZATION

Resource Real Estate Diversified Income Fund (the “Trust” or the “Fund”) was organized as a Delaware statutory trust on August 1, 2012 and is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”), as a closed-end management investment company that operates as an interval fund with a continuous offering of Fund shares. The Fund’s investment adviser is Resource Real Estate, LLC (the “Adviser”). The Fund’s primary investment objective is to produce current income, with a secondary objective to achieve long-term capital appreciation with low to moderate volatility and low to moderate correlation to the broader equity markets. The Fund is diversified and pursues its investment objectives by investing, under normal circumstances, at least 80% of assets (defined as net assets plus the amount of any borrowing for investment purposes) in real estate and real estate related industry securities, primarily in income producing equity and debt securities.

The Fund currently offers Class A, Class C, Class W, Class I, Class U, Class T, Class D and Class L shares. Class A shares commenced operations on March 12, 2013; Class C and Class I shares commenced operations on August 1, 2014; Class W shares commenced operations on November 24, 2014; Class U, Class T and Class D shares commenced operations on February 13, 2015; and Class L shares commenced operations on July 10, 2017. Class C, Class W, Class I and Class D shares are offered at net asset value (“NAV”). Class A shares are offered at NAV plus a maximum sales charge of 5.75% and may also be subject to a 0.50% early withdrawal charge, which will be deducted from repurchase proceeds, for shareholders tendering shares fewer than 365 days after the original purchase date, if (i) the original purchase was for amounts of $1 million or more and (ii) the selling broker received the reallowance of the dealer-manager fee. Class U shares are offered at NAV plus a maximum sales charge of 6.50% and may also be subject to a 0.50% early withdrawal charge, which will be deducted from repurchase proceeds, for shareholders tendering shares fewer than 365 days after the original purchase date, if (i) the original purchase was for amounts of $1 million or more and (ii) the selling broker received the reallowance of the dealer-manager fee. Class T shares are offered at NAV plus a maximum sales charge of 1.50% and may also be subject to a 1.00% early withdrawal charge, which will be deducted from repurchase proceeds, for shareholders tendering shares fewer than 365 days after the original purchase date. Class C Shares are subject to a 1.00% early withdrawal charge. Class L shares are offered at NAV plus a maximum sales charge of 4.25%. Each class represents an interest in the same assets of the Fund and classes are identical except for differences in their sales charge structures, ongoing service and distribution charges and early withdrawal fees. All classes of shares have equal voting privileges except that each class has exclusive voting rights with respect to its service and/or distribution plans. The Fund’s income, expenses (other than class-specific distribution fees) and realized and unrealized gains and losses are allocated proportionately each day based upon the relative net assets of each class.

2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The following is a summary of significant accounting policies followed by the Fund in preparation of its financial statements. These policies are in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”). The Fund is considered an investment company for financial reporting purposes under GAAP. The Fund follows the investment company accounting and reporting guidance of the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standard Codification (“ASC”) Topic 946 “Financial Services – Investment Companies”, including FASB Accounting Standard Update (“ASU”) 2013-08. The preparation of financial statements 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 income and expenses for the period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Securities Valuation – Securities listed on an exchange are valued at the last reported sale price at the close of the regular trading session of the exchange on the business day the value is being determined, or in the case of securities listed on NASDAQ, at the NASDAQ Official Closing Price. In the absence of a sale, such securities shall be valued at the last bid price. Futures are valued based on their daily settlement value. Short-term investments that mature in 60 days or less may be valued at amortized cost, provided such valuations represent fair value.

When price quotations for certain securities are not readily available, or if the available quotations are not believed to be reflective of market value by the Adviser, those securities will be valued at “fair value” as determined in good faith by the Fund’s Fair Value Committee (the “Valuation Committee”) using procedures adopted by and under the supervision of the Fund’s Board of Trustees (the “Board”). There can be no assurance that the Fund could purchase or sell a portfolio security at the price used to calculate the Fund’s NAV.

Fair valuation procedures may be used to value a substantial portion of the assets of the Fund. The Fund may use the fair value of a security to calculate its NAV when, for example, (1) a portfolio security is not traded in a public market or the principal market in which the security trades is closed, (2) trading in a portfolio security is suspended and not resumed prior to the normal market close, (3) a portfolio security is not traded in significant volume for a substantial period, or (4) the Adviser determines that the quotation or price for a portfolio security provided by a broker-dealer or independent pricing service is inaccurate.

The “fair value” of securities may be difficult to determine and thus judgment plays a greater role in the valuation process. The fair valuation methodology may include or consider the following guidelines, as appropriate: (1) evaluation of all relevant factors, including but not limited to, pricing history, current market level, supply and demand of the respective security; (2) comparison to the values and current pricing of securities that have comparable characteristics; (3) knowledge of historical market information with respect to the security; and (4) other factors relevant to the security which would include, but not be limited to, duration, yield, fundamental analytical data, the Treasury yield curve, and credit quality.

Notes to Financial Statements

September 30, 2018

Valuation of Private REITs – The Fund invests a portion of its assets in Private Real Estate Investment Trusts (“Private REITs”). Private REITs report their investment assets at fair value, and report a NAV per share on a calendar quarter basis. In accordance with ASC 820, the Fund has elected to apply the practical expedient and to value its investments in Private REITs at their respective NAVs at each quarter. For non-calendar quarter days, the Valuation Committee estimates the fair value of each Private REIT by adjusting the most recent NAV for each Private REIT, as necessary, by the change in a relevant benchmark that the Valuation Committee has deemed to be representative of the entire Private REIT market.

Valuation of Public Non-Traded REITs – The Fund invests a portion of its assets in Public Non-Traded Real Estate Investment Trusts (“Public Non-Traded REITs”). Public Non-Traded REITs do not timely report periodic NAVs and therefore cannot be valued using the practical expedient. The Valuation Committee determines the fair value of Public Non-Traded REITs by considering various factors such as the most recent published NAV, the transaction price, secondary market trades, shareholder redemption and dividend reinvestment programs, discounted cash flows and potential illiquidity discounts.

Valuation of Private Investment Funds – The Fund invests a portion of its assets in Private Investment Funds. Private Investment Funds measure their investment assets at fair value, and report a NAV per share on a calendar quarter basis. In accordance with ASC 820, the Fund has elected to apply the practical expedient and to value its investments in Private Investment Funds at their respective NAVs at each quarter. For non-calendar quarter days, the Valuation Committee determines the fair value of each Private Investment Fund by adjusting the most recent NAV for each Private Investment Fund, as necessary, by the change in a relevant benchmark that the Valuation Committee has deemed to be representative of the market.

Fair Value Measurements – A three-tier hierarchy has been established to classify fair value measurements for disclosure purposes. Inputs refer broadly to the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability, including assumptions about risk. Inputs may be observable or unobservable. Observable inputs are inputs that reflect the assumptions market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability that are developed based on market data obtained from sources independent of the reporting entity. Unobservable inputs are inputs that reflect the reporting entity’s own assumptions about the assumptions market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability that are developed based on the best information available. In accordance with the authoritative guidance on fair value measurements and disclosure under GAAP, the Fund discloses the fair value of its investments in a hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure the fair value.

Various inputs are used in determining the value of the Fund’s investments as of the reporting period end. These inputs are categorized in the following hierarchy under applicable financial accounting standards:

Level 1 –

Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical, unrestricted assets or liabilities that the Fund has the ability to access at the measurement date;

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 Fund’s own assumptions about the assumptions a market participate 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.

An investment level within the fair value hierarchy is based on the lowest level input, individually or in the aggregate, that is significant to fair value measurement. The valuation techniques used by the Fund to measure fair value during the year ended September 30, 2018 maximized the use of observable inputs and minimized the use of unobservable inputs.

In accordance with ASC 820-10, certain investments that are measured at fair value using the net asset value per share (or its equivalent) practical expedient have not been classified in the fair value hierarchy. The fair value amounts presented in this table are intended to permit reconciliation of the fair value hierarchy to the amounts presented in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities.

There were no transfers between Levels 1, 2 and 3 during the year ended September 30, 2018. It is the Fund’s policy to recognize transfers between levels at the end of the reporting period.

The following is a reconciliation of assets in which Level 3 inputs were used in determining value:

Notes to Financial Statements

September 30, 2018

A change to the unobservable input may result in a significant change to the value of the investment as follows:

Unobservable Input	Impact to Value if Input Increases	Impact to Value if Input Decreases
Proprietary Benchmark	Increase	Decrease
Broker Quote	Increase	Decrease

Securities Transactions and Investment Income – Investment security transactions are accounted for on a trade date basis. Cost is determined and gains and losses are based upon the specific identification method for both financial statement and federal income tax purposes. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date and interest income is recorded on the accrual basis. Purchase discounts and premiums on securities are accreted and amortized over the life of the respective securities.

Industry Concentration – As of September 30, 2018, the Fund had 116% of its net assets invested within the real estate industry. Any development affecting that industry will have a greater impact on the value of the net assets of the Fund than would be the case if the Fund did not have significant investments in that industry. This may increase the risk of loss in the Fund and increase the volatility of the Fund’s NAV per share. Occasionally, market conditions, regulatory changes or other developments may negatively impact this industry, and therefore the value of the Fund’s portfolio will be adversely affected.

Concentration of Credit Risk – The Fund places its cash with one banking institution, which is insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”). The FDIC insurance limit is $250,000 per deposit. At various times throughout the year, the amount on deposit may exceed the FDIC limit and subject the Fund to credit risk.

Federal and Other Taxes – No provision for income taxes is included in the accompanying financial statements, as the Fund intends to distribute to shareholders all taxable investment income and realized gains and otherwise comply with Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), applicable to regulated investment companies.

The Fund evaluates tax positions taken (or expected to be taken) in the course of preparing the Fund’s tax provisions to determine whether these positions meet a “more-likely-than-not” standard that, based on the technical merits, have a more than fifty percent likelihood of being sustained by a taxing authority upon examination. A tax position that meets the “more-likely-than-not” recognition threshold is measured to determine the amount of benefit to recognize in the financial statements.

As of and during the year ended September 30, 2018, the Fund did not have a liability for any unrecognized tax benefits. The Fund files U.S. federal, state and local tax returns as required. The Fund’s tax returns are subject to examination by the relevant tax authorities until expiration of the applicable statute of limitations, which is generally three years after the filing of the tax return for federal purposes and four years for most state returns. Tax returns for open years have incorporated no uncertain tax positions that require a provision for income taxes.

Foreign Currency – The accounting records of the Fund 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.

Distributions to Shareholders – Distributions from investment income are declared and paid quarterly. Distributions from net realized capital gains, if any, are declared and paid annually and are recorded on the ex-dividend date. The character of income and gains to be distributed is determined in accordance with income tax regulations, which may differ from GAAP.

Early Withdrawal Charge – Selling brokers, or other financial intermediaries that have entered into distribution agreements with the Distributor (as defined in Note 3 below), will receive a commission of up to 1.00% of the purchase price of Class C and T shares and up to 0.50% on the purchase of Class A and Class U shares of $1 million or more. Shareholders who tender for repurchase of such shareholder's Class C and T shares fewer than 365 days after the original purchase date will be subject to an early withdrawal charge of 1.00% of the original purchase price. Shareholders tendering Class A and U shares fewer than 365 days after the original purchase date may be subject to an early withdrawal charge of 0.50% of the original purchase price, which will be deducted from repurchase proceeds, if (i) the original purchase was for amounts of $1 million or more and (ii) the selling broker received the reallowance of the dealer-manager fee. The Distributor may waive the imposition of the early withdrawal charge in in the event of shareholder death or shareholder disability. Any such waiver does not imply that the early withdrawal charge will be waived at any time in the future or that such early withdrawal charge will be waived for any other shareholder. Class W, Class I, Class D and Class L shares (with respect to purchases of under $1 million) will not be subject to an early withdrawal charge.

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, the Fund enters into contracts that contain a variety of representations and warranties and which provide general indemnities. The 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 industry experience, the Trust expects the risk of loss due to these warranties and indemnities to be remote.

3. ADVISORY FEES AND OTHER RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

Advisory Fees – Pursuant to an investment advisory agreement (the “Advisory Agreement”), investment advisory services are provided to the Fund by the Adviser.

During the year ended September 30, 2018, the Fund accrued $3,076,241 in advisory fees.

The Adviser has contractually agreed to waive all or part of its advisory fees and/or make payments to limit Fund expenses (including all organization and offering expenses, but excluding interest, brokerage commissions, acquired fund fees and expenses and extraordinary expenses) at least until January 31, 2019, such that the total annual operating expenses of the Fund do not exceed 1.99% per annum of Class A average daily net assets, 2.74% per annum of Class C average daily net assets, 1.99% per annum of Class W average daily net assets, 1.74% per annum of Class I average daily net assets, 1.99% per annum of Class U average daily net assets, 2.74% per annum of Class T average daily net assets, 2.49% per annum of Class D average daily net assets and 2.24% per annum of Class L average daily net assets.

During the year ended September 30, 2018, the Adviser waived fees and reimbursed expenses of $513,660 pursuant to its contractual agreement.

As of September 30, 2018, the following amounts were available for recoupment by the Adviser based upon their potential expiration dates:

Fund	2019	2020	2021
Resource Real Estate Diversified Income Fund	$374,046^*	$426,265	$513,660

$2,918 was recouped in the current year.

CCO/Compliance Services – For the period October 1, 2017 through February 28, 2018, the Fund reimbursed the Adviser for a portion of the costs (including compensation and benefits) related to the Fund’s Chief Compliance Officer.

Effective March 1, 2018, pursuant to a Compliance Services Agreement between the Fund and Resource America, Inc. (acting together with the Adviser and certain other affiliates (collectively, “Resource”)), dated March 1, 2018 (the “CSA”), Resource provides compliance services to the Fund. The services under the CSA are designed to ensure compliance by the Fund with its investment objectives, policies and restrictions, as disclosed in the Fund’s Prospectuses and Statement of Additional Information.

The CSA also covers, among other items, services associated with monitoring the Fund’s compliance with its policies and procedures and applicable federal, state and foreign securities laws and the rules and regulations thereunder. The initial term of the CSA is two years and will remain in full force from year to year thereafter, subject to annual approval by Resource and the Board.

In return for the services provided under the CSA, the Fund pays Resource a flat, annual fee of $200,000, payable monthly in twelve (12) equal installments (the “Flat Fee”), provided that each such monthly installment of the Flat Fee shall not exceed a monthly fee calculated at an annual rate of 0.10% of the Fund’s average daily net assets (the “Asset-Based Fee”). For purposes of determining whether the Fund will pay the Asset-Based Fee in any given month, Resource compares the amount of the Flat Fee and Asset-Based Fee that would be due for the given month and charges the Fund the applicable Asset-Based Fee only if such Asset-Based Fee is lower than the monthly installment of the Flat Fee, which is $16,666.66 (1/12 of $200,000).

For the year ended September 30, 2018, the Fund incurred $216,667 with respect to costs associated with the Fund’s Chief Compliance Officer and fees associated with compliance services under the CSA.

4. INVESTMENT TRANSACTIONS

The cost of purchases and proceeds from the sale of securities, other than short-term securities, for the year ended September 30, 2018 amounted to $253,687,455 and $234,293,487, respectively.

5. DERIVATIVE TRANSACTIONS

Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities – The following discloses the Fund’s use of derivative instruments and hedging activities:

The Fund’s investment objectives permit the Fund to enter into various types of derivative contracts, such as options. In doing so, the Adviser may employ strategies in differing combinations to permit the Fund to increase, decrease, or change the level or types of exposure to market factors. Central to those strategies are features inherent to derivatives that make them more attractive for this purpose than equity or debt securities; they require little or no initial cash investment, they can focus exposure on only certain selected risk factors, and they may not require the ultimate receipt or delivery of the underlying security (or securities) to the contract. This may allow the Fund to pursue its objectives more quickly and efficiently than if it were to make direct purchases or sales of securities capable of effecting a similar response to market factors.

Market Risk Factors – In pursuit of its investment objectives, the Adviser may seek to use derivatives to increase or decrease the Fund’s exposure to the following market risk factors:

Foreign Exchange Rate Risk: Foreign exchange rate risk relates to the change in the U.S. dollar value of a security held that is denominated in a foreign currency. The value of a foreign currency denominated security will decrease as the dollar appreciates against the currency, while the value of the foreign currency denominated security will increase as the dollar depreciates against the currency.

Risk of Investing in Derivatives: The Fund’s use of derivatives can result in losses due to unanticipated changes in the market risk factors and the overall market.

Annual Report | September 30, 2018

Resource Real Estate Diversified Income Fund

Notes to Financial Statements

September 30, 2018

Derivatives may have little or no initial cash investment relative to their market value exposure and therefore can produce significant gains or losses in excess of their cost. This use of embedded leverage allows the Fund to increase its market value exposure relative to its net assets and can substantially increase the volatility of the Fund’s performance.

Additional associated risks from investing in derivatives also exist and potentially could have significant effects on the valuation of the derivative and the Fund. Typically, the associated risks are not the risks to which the Fund is attempting to increase or decrease exposure, per its investment objectives, but are the additional risks from investing in derivatives.

Examples of these associated risks are liquidity risk, which is the risk that the Fund will not be able to sell the derivative in the open market in a timely manner, and counterparty credit risk, which is the risk that the counterparty will not fulfill its obligation to the Fund.

Option Contracts – The Fund may enter into options transactions for hedging purposes and for non-hedging purposes, such as seeking to enhance return. The Fund may write covered put and call options on any stocks or stock indices, currencies traded on domestic and foreign securities exchanges, or futures contracts on stock indices, interest rates and currencies traded on domestic and, to the extent permitted by the CFTC and foreign exchanges. A written call option obligates the Fund to sell the specified asset to the holder (purchaser) at a stated price (the exercise price) if the option is exercised before a specified date (the expiration date). A written put option obligates the Fund to buy the specified asset from the purchaser at the exercise price if the option is exercised before the expiration date. Premiums received when writing options are recorded as liabilities and are subsequently adjusted to the current value of the options written. Premiums received from writing options that expire are treated as realized gains. Premiums received from writing options, which are either exercised or closed, are offset against the proceeds received or amount paid on the transaction to determine realized gains or losses which are recorded on the Statement of Operations.

TAX BASIS INFORMATION

For the year ended September 30, 2018, the following reclassifications, which had no impact on results of operations or net assets, were recorded to reflect tax character.

		Paid-in Capital				Total Distributable Earnings
Resource Real Estate Diversified Income Fund		$	(381,258	)		$	381,258

The tax character of distributions paid for the years ended September 30, 2018 and September 30, 2017 were as follows:

September 30, 2018		Ordinary Income				Long-Term Capital Gain				Return of Capital
Resource Real Estate Diversified Income Fund		$	7,918,027			$	1,267,376			$	5,141,751

September 30, 2017		Ordinary Income				Long-Term Capital Gain				Return of Capital
Resource Real Estate Diversified Income Fund		$	7,044,068			$	698,187			$	4,051,195

As of September 30, 2018, the components of accumulated earnings/(deficit) on a tax basis were as follows:

Undistributed ordinary income	$	–
Accumulated capital gains		–
Net unrealized appreciation on securities		23,607,948
Other cumulative effect of timing differences		(367,637	)
Total distributable earnings	$	23,240,311

The following information is computed on a tax basis for each item as of September 30, 2018:

		Gross Appreciation (excess of value over tax cost)				Gross Depreciation (excess of tax cost over value)				Net Unrealized Appreciation				Cost of Investments for Income Tax Purposes
Resource Real Estate Diversified Income Fund		$	28,476,701			$	(4,868,750	)		$	23,607,951			$	293,417,113

The difference between book basis and tax basis distributable earnings and unrealized appreciation/(depreciation) is primarily attributable to the tax deferral of losses on wash sales, investments in partnerships and certain other investments.

The Fund elects to defer to the year ending September 30, 2019, late year ordinary losses in the amount of $367,637.

REPURCHASE OFFERS

Pursuant to Rule 23c-3 under the 1940 Act, the Fund offers shareholders on a quarterly basis the option of redeeming shares, at NAV, of up to 5% of the Fund’s issued and outstanding shares as of the close of regular business hours on the New York Stock Exchange on the Repurchase Pricing Date (defined below). If shareholders tender for repurchase more than 5% of the outstanding shares of the Fund, the Fund may, but is not required to, repurchase up to an additional 2% of the outstanding shares of the Fund. If the Fund determines not to repurchase an additional 2% of the outstanding shares of the Fund, or if more than 7% of the outstanding shares of the Fund are tendered, then the Fund will repurchase shares on a pro rata basis based upon the number of shares tendered by each shareholder. There can be no assurance that the Fund will be able to repurchase all shares that each shareholder has tendered, even if all of the shares in a shareholder's account are tendered. In the event of an oversubscribed offer, you may not be able to tender all shares that you wish to tender and you may have to wait until the next quarterly repurchase offer to tender the remaining shares. Subsequent repurchase requests will not be given priority over other shareholder requests.

11. RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENT

In March 2017, FASB issued ASU “Premium Amortization on Purchased Callable Debt Securities,” which amends the amortization period for a callable debt security held at a premium from the maturity date to the earliest call date. The guidance is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2018, and interim periods within those annual periods. At this time, management is evaluating the implications of these changes on the Fund.

In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-13, which changes the fair value measurement disclosure requirements of FASB ASC Topic 820, Fair Value Measurement. The update to Topic 820 includes new, eliminated, and modified disclosure requirements. ASU 2018-13 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, including interim periods. Early adoption is permitted for any eliminated or modified disclosures. Management is currently evaluating the impact of the ASU to the Fund’s financial statements.

12. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

Subsequent events after the date of the Statement of Assets and Liabilities have been evaluated through the date the financial statements were issued.

The Fund completed a quarterly repurchase offer on October 17, 2018, which resulted in 588,351 Fund shares being repurchased for $6,135,718.

Management has determined that there were no other subsequent events to report through the issuance of these financial statements.

DISTRIBUTABLE CASH FLOW

The information presented below regarding Distributable Cash Flow is supplemental non-GAAP financial information, which is meaningful to understanding the operating performance of the Fund. Distributable Cash Flow is the functional equivalent of EBITDA for non-investment companies. Management believes it is an important supplemental measure of performance. This information is supplemental, unaudited, and is not inclusive of required financial disclosures (such as Total Expense Ratio), and should be read in conjunction with our full financial statements.

Distribution Coverage Ratio including Net Realized Gain		104	%		115	%

Tax adjustments attributable to REIT and other investments are adjustments to reflect the tax character of distributions received from underlying investments. Specifically, a portion of distributions received from REITs are often treated as non-taxable return of capital for book and tax purposes and distributions received from investments structured as partnerships are also treated as return of capital to the extent the distributions received exceed the income reported to the Fund on the Forms K-1 received from the underlying investments.

The Fund is subject to a 4% nondeductible excise tax on certain undistributed amounts of ordinary income and capital gain under a prescribed formula contained in Section 4982 of the Code. The formula requires payment to shareholders during a calendar year of distributions representing at least 98% of the Fund's ordinary income for the calendar year and at least 98.2% of its capital gain net income (i.e., the excess of its capital gains over capital losses) realized during the one-year period ending October 31 during such year plus 100% of any income that was neither distributed nor taxed to the Fund during the preceding calendar year. Under ordinary circumstances, the Fund expects to time its distributions so as to avoid liability for this tax.

Item 7. Disclosure of Proxy Voting Policies and Procedures for Closed-End Management Investment Companies.

A. GENERAL POLICY

Rule 206(4)-6 requires a registered investment adviser that exercises voting authority over Client securities to implement proxy voting policies and describe those policies to their Clients. In any instance in which Resource Real Estate Diversified Income Fund or Resource Credit Income Fund (individually “Client” or collectively “Clients”) owns any class of shares of a portfolio company for which proxies are solicited, the applicable Adviser will vote proxies for such shares on behalf of its Clients in accordance with these Proxy Voting Policies and Procedures.

Resource Real Estate, LLC’s and Resource Alternative Advisor, LLC’s (individually “Adviser” or collectively “Advisers”) general policy is to vote proxies in a manner that serves the best interest of the Client and in accordance with the Client’s governing documents, as determined by the applicable Adviser in its discretion, taking into account relevant factors, including:

●

The impact on the value of the returns to the relevant Client;

●

Alignment of the interest of the issuer’s management with the relevant Client’s interest, including establishing appropriate incentives for management;

●

The ongoing relationship between the relevant Client and issuer in which it invests, including the continued or increased availability of information; and

●

Industry and business practices.

In addition, the Advisers pay particular attention to the following matters in exercising their proxy voting responsibilities as a fiduciary for their Clients:

●

Accountability. Each company should have effective means in place to hold those entrusted with running a company’s business accountable for their actions. Management of a company should be accountable to its board of directors and the board should be accountable to shareholders.

●

Alignment of Management and Shareholder Interests. Each company should endeavor to align the interests of management and the board of directors with the interests of the company’s shareholders. For example, we generally believe that compensation should be designed to reward management for doing a good job of creating value for the shareholders of the company.

●

Transparency. Promotion of timely disclosure of important information about a company’s business operations and financial performance enables investors to evaluate the performance of a company and to make informed decisions about the purchase and sale of a company’s securities.

B. SUMMARY OF PROXY VOTING GUIDELINES

1. ELECTION OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS

The Advisers believe that good corporate governance generally starts with a board composed primarily of independent directors, unfettered by significant ties to management, all of whose members are elected annually. The Advisers also believe that some measure of turnover in board composition typically promotes more independent board action and fresh perspectives on governance. Of greater importance is the skill set of the proposed board member. The Advisers will also look at the backgrounds of the directors to gauge their business acumen and any special talent or experience that may add value to their participation on the board.

The election of a company’s board of directors is one of the most fundamental rights held by shareholders. Because a classified board structure prevents shareholders from electing a full slate of directors annually, we will pay special attention to efforts to declassify boards or other measures that permit shareholders to remove a majority of directors at any time.

2. APPROVAL OF INDEPENDENT AUDITORS

The Advisers believe that the relationship between a company and its auditors should be limited primarily to the audit engagement, although it may include certain closely related activities that do not raise an appearance of impaired independence.

The Advisers will evaluate on a case-by-case basis instances in which the audit firm has a substantial non-audit relationship with a company to determine whether we believe independence has been, or could be, compromised.

3. EQUITY-BASED COMPENSATION PLANS

The Advisers believe that appropriately designed equity-based compensation plans, approved by shareholders, can be an effective way to align the interests of shareholders and the interests of directors, management, and employees by providing incentives to increase shareholder value. Conversely, the Advisers are opposed to plans that substantially dilute ownership interests in the company, provide participants with excessive awards, or have inherently objectionable structural features.

The Advisers will generally support measures intended to increase stock ownership by executives and the use of employee stock purchase plans to increase company stock ownership by employees. These may include:

●

Requiring senior executives to hold stock in a company.

●

Requiring stock acquired through option exercise to be held for a certain period of time.

These are guidelines, and we consider other factors, such as the nature of the industry and size of the company, when assessing a plan’s impact on ownership interests.

4. CORPORATE STRUCTURE

The Advisers view the exercise of shareholders’ rights, including the rights to act by written consent, to call special meetings and to remove directors, to be fundamental to good corporate governance.

Because classes of common stock with unequal voting rights limit the rights of certain shareholders, the Advisers generally believe that shareholders should have voting power equal to their equity interest in the company and should be able to approve or reject changes to a company’s by-laws by a simple majority vote.

The Advisers will generally support the ability of shareholders to cumulate their votes for the election of directors.

5. SHAREHOLDER RIGHTS PLANS

There are arguments both in favor of and against shareholder rights plans, also known as poison pills. For example, such measures may tend to entrench or provide undue compensation to current management, which the Advisers generally consider to have a negative impact on shareholder value. Therefore, the Advisers’ preference is for a plan that places shareholder value in a priority position above interests of management.

C. CONFLICTS OF INTEREST

As stated above, in evaluating how to vote a proxy, the applicable portfolio manager will first determine whether there is a conflict of interest related to the proxy in question between the applicable Adviser and the Clients. This examination will include (but will not be limited to) an evaluation of whether the Adviser (or any affiliate of the Adviser) has any relationship with the company (or an affiliate of the company) to which the proxy relates outside of an investment in such company by a Client of the applicable Adviser.

If a conflict is identified and deemed “material” by the PM, the applicable Adviser will determine whether voting in accordance with the proxy voting guidelines outlined below is in the best interests of the Client (which may include utilizing an independent third party to vote such proxies).

With respect to material conflicts, an Adviser will determine whether it is appropriate to disclose the conflict to affected clients to give such clients the opportunity to vote the proxies in question themselves. However, with respect to ERISA clients whose advisory contract reserves the right to vote proxies when an Adviser has determined that a material conflict exists that affects its best judgment as a fiduciary to the ERISA client, such Adviser will:

●

Give the ERISA client the opportunity to vote the proxies in question themselves; or

●

Follow designated special proxy voting procedures related to voting proxies pursuant to the terms of the investment management agreement with such ERISA clients (if any).

D. PROCEDURES FOR PROXIES

An Adviser will generally adhere to the following procedures for voting proxies:

●

A written record of each proxy received by the applicable Adviser (on behalf of its Clients) will be kept in such Adviser’s files;

●

Prior to voting any proxies, the applicable portfolio manager will determine if there are any conflicts of interest related to the proxy in question in accordance with the general guidelines set forth above. If a conflict is identified, the applicable portfolio manager will then make a determination (which may be in consultation with outside legal counsel) as to whether the conflict is material.

E. RECORD OF PROXY VOTING

The applicable Adviser and the CCO will be responsible for maintaining files relating to its proxy voting procedures. Records will be maintained and preserved for five years from the end of the fiscal year during which the last entry was made on a record, with records for the first two years kept in the offices of the Adviser. Records of the following will be included in the files:

●

Copies of these proxy voting policies and procedures, and any amendments thereto;

●

A copy of each proxy statement that an Adviser received; provided, however, that the Adviser may rely on obtaining a copy of proxy statements from the SEC’s EDGAR system for those proxy statements that are so available;

●

With respect to DIF and CIF, a copy of the most recently filed Form N-PX, which will be available to Clients upon request;

●

A record of each vote that an Adviser casts;

●

A copy of any document that an Adviser created that was material to making a decision how to vote the proxies, or memorializes that decision (if any); and

●

A copy of each written request for information on how an Adviser voted such client’s proxies and a copy of any written response to any request for information on how an Adviser voted proxies on behalf of clients.
