Disclosure of Fund Expenses | |
March 31, 2014 (Unaudited) |
Expense Example
As a shareholder of the RiverNorth Funds, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs (such as the 2% fee on redemption of Fund shares made within 90 days of purchase); and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees, distribution and service (12b-1) fees and other Fund expenses. This example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Funds and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds. The Example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period, October 1, 2013 and held for the six months ended March 31, 2014.
Actual Expenses
The first line of the table below provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this line, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the first line under the heading entitled Expenses Paid During Period to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.
Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes
The second line of the table below provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on each Funds actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not each Funds 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 each Fund and other funds. To do so, compare these 5% hypothetical examples with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of other funds.
Please note that the expenses shown in the table below are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transactional costs, such as redemption fees. Therefore, the second line for each share class of each Fund within the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. If these transactional costs were included, your costs would have been higher.

1. ORGANIZATION
The RiverNorth Funds (the Trust or Funds) was established under the laws of Ohio by an Agreement and Declaration of Trust dated July 18, 2006 (the Trust Agreement). The Trust is an open-end management investment company registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the 1940 Act).

Notes to Financial Statements | |
March 31, 2014 (Unaudited) |
The following is a summary of significant accounting policies followed by the Funds. These policies are in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP). The preparation of financial statements in accordance with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts and disclosures in the financial statements during the reporting period. Management believes the estimates and security valuations are appropriate; however, actual results may differ from those estimates, and the security valuations reflected in the financial statements may differ from the value the Funds ultimately realize upon sale of the securities. The financial statements have been prepared as of the close of the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) on March 31, 2014.
2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Security Valuation: All investments in securities are recorded at their estimated fair value as described in Note 3.
Security Transactions and Related Income: The Funds follow industry practice and record security transactions on the trade date basis. The specific identification method is used for determining gains or losses for financial statements and income tax purposes. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date or for certain foreign securities, when the information becomes available to the Fund and interest income is recorded on an accrual basis. Discounts and premiums on securities purchased are amortized or accreted using the effective interest method. Withholding taxes on foreign dividends have been provided for in accordance with the Trusts understanding of the applicable countrys tax rules and rates. The ability of issuers of debt securities held by the Funds to meet their obligations may be affected by economic and political developments in a specific country or region.
Foreign Currency Translation: The books and records of the Funds are maintained in U.S. dollars. Investment valuations and other assets and liabilities initially expressed in foreign currencies are converted each business day into U.S. dollars based upon current exchange rates. Prevailing foreign exchange rates may generally be obtained at the close of the NYSE (normally, 4:00 p.m. Eastern time). The portion of realized and unrealized gains or losses on investments due to fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates is not separately disclosed and is included in realized and unrealized gains or losses on investments, when applicable.
Foreign Securities: The Funds may directly purchase securities of foreign issuers. Investing in securities of foreign issuers involves special risks not typically associated with investing in securities of U.S. issuers. The risks include possible revaluation of currencies, the ability to repatriate funds, less complete financial information about companies and possible future adverse political and economic developments. Moreover, securities of many foreign issuers and their markets may be less liquid and their prices more volatile than those of securities of comparable U.S. issuers.
Other: The Funds have held certain investments which pay dividends to their shareholders based upon available funds from operations. It is possible for these dividends to exceed the underlying investments taxable earnings and profits resulting in the excess portion of such dividends being designated as a return of capital. Distributions received from investments in securities that represent a return of capital or capital gain are recorded as a reduction of the cost of investments or as a realized gain, respectively.
Share Valuation: The net asset value (the NAV) is generally calculated as of the close of trading on the New York Stock Exchange (the Exchange) (normally 4:00 p.m. Eastern time) every day the Exchange is open. The NAV is calculated by taking the total value of each Funds assets, subtracting their liabilities, and then dividing by the total number of shares outstanding, rounded to the nearest cent. The offering price and redemption price per share is equal to the net asset

value per share, except that shares of each Fund are subject to a redemption fee of 2% if redeemed within 90 days of purchase. For the period ended March 31, 2014, the Core Opportunity Fund, Strategic Income Fund, Equity Opportunity Fund, High Income Fund, and Managed Volatility Fund received redemption fees of $24,447, $52,736, $361, $7,875, and $1,013, respectively.
Expenses: Some expenses of the Trust can be directly attributed to the Fund or the Fund specific share class. Expenses which cannot be directly attributed are apportioned among all Funds and Fund series classes in the Trust based on average net assets.
Federal Income Taxes: The Funds make no provision for federal income tax. Each Fund intends to qualify each year as a regulated investment company under subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, by distributing substantially all of its taxable income. If the required amount of net investment income is not distributed, the Funds could incur a tax expense.
As of and during the period ended March 31, 2014, the Funds did not have a liability for any unrecognized tax benefits. The Funds file U.S. federal, state, and local tax returns as required. The Funds 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.
Distributions to Shareholders: Distributions to shareholders, which are determined in accordance with income tax regulations, are recorded on the ex-dividend date. The treatment for financial reporting purposes of distributions made to shareholders during the year from net investment income or net realized capital gains may differ from their ultimate treatment for federal income tax purposes. These differences are caused primarily by differences in the timing of recognition of certain components of income, expense or realized capital gain for federal income tax purposes. Where such differences are permanent in nature, they are reclassified in the components of the net assets based on their ultimate characterization for federal income tax purposes. Any such reclassification will have no effect on net assets, results of operations or net asset values per share of the Funds.
3. SECURITIES VALUATION AND FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS
Fair value is defined as the price that a Fund might reasonably expect to receive upon selling an investment in a timely transaction to an independent buyer in the principal or most advantageous market of the investment. GAAP establishes a three-tier hierarchy to maximize the use of observable market data and minimize the use of unobservable inputs and to establish classification of 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, for example, the risk inherent in a particular valuation technique used to measure fair value including such a pricing model and/or the risk inherent in the inputs to the valuation technique. Inputs may be observable or unobservable. Observable inputs are inputs that reflect the assumptions market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability developed based on market data obtained from sources independent of the reporting entity. Unobservable inputs are inputs that reflect the reporting entitys own assumptions about the assumptions market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability developed based on the best information available in the circumstances.

Various inputs are used in determining the value of the Funds investments. These inputs are summarized in the three broad levels listed below.
| Level 1 Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical, unrestricted assets or liabilities that a Fund has the ability to access at the measurement date; |
| Level 2 Quoted prices which are not active, quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets or inputs other than quoted prices that are observable (either directly or indirectly) for substantially the full term of the asset or liability; and |
| Level 3 Significant unobservable prices or inputs (including the Funds own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments) where there is little or no market activity for the asset or liability at the measurement date. |
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.
Equity securities, including common stocks, closed-end funds, exchange-traded funds, holding and investment management companies, preferred stocks, and business development company senior notes are generally valued by using market quotations, but may be valued on the basis of prices furnished by a pricing service when the Adviser or a Sub-Adviser believes such prices more accurately reflect the fair market value of such securities. Securities that are traded on any stock exchange are generally valued by the pricing service at the last quoted sale price. Lacking a last sale price, an exchange traded security is generally valued by the pricing service at its last bid price. Securities traded in the NASDAQ over-the-counter market are generally valued by the pricing service at the NASDAQ Official Closing Price. When using the market quotations or close prices provided by the pricing service and when the market is considered active, the security will be classified as a Level 1 security. Sometimes, an equity security owned by the Funds will be valued by the pricing service with factors other than market quotations or when the market is considered inactive. When this happens, the security will be classified as a Level 2 security. When market quotations are not readily available, when the Adviser or a Sub-Adviser determines that the market quotation or the price provided by the pricing service does not accurately reflect the current fair value, or when restricted or illiquid securities are being valued, such securities are valued as determined in good faith by the Adviser, Sub-Adviser, or valuation committee in conformity with guidelines adopted by and subject to review by the Board. These securities will be categorized as Level 3 securities.
Investments in mutual funds, including money market mutual funds, are generally priced at the ending net asset value (NAV) provided by the service agent of the Funds. These securities will be categorized as Level 1 securities.
Domestic and foreign fixed income securities, including foreign and U.S. corporate bonds, foreign and U.S. government bonds and notes, supranationals and foreign agencies, non-agency collateralized mortgage obligations, U.S. Government/Agency mortgage backed securities, bank loans, collateralized loan obligations, and high yield debt, as well as non-exchange traded derivatives, including forward foreign currency contracts and total return swaps, are normally valued on the basis of quotes obtained from brokers and dealers or independent pricing services. Total Return swaps are valued based on a formula of the underlying assets nightly value, the Overnight London-Interbank Offered Rate (USD-LIBOR) and an annual fee or various agreed upon inputs. Foreign Currency positions, including forward currency contracts, are priced at the mean between the closing bid and asked prices at 4:00 p.m. Eastern time. Prices obtained from independent pricing services typically use information provided by market makers or estimates of market values obtained from yield data

relating to investments or securities with similar characteristics. Data used to establish quotes includes analysis of cash flows, pre-payment speeds, default rates, delinquency assumptions and assumptions regarding collateral and loss assumptions. These securities will be classified as Level 2 securities.
Closing bid and ask option contract quotations are considered to be reflective of the option contract values as of the close of the regular session of trading on the New York Stock Exchange (the stock market close), and will be used to determine fair value of the option contracts. On days when the closing market quotations for option contracts are not considered to be reflective of their value as of the stock market close, each of the option contracts held by a Fund will be priced at the average of the bid and asked quotations as of the stock market close by reference to time-stamped quotes obtained from an independent third-party pricing source. If an acceptable quotation is unavailable for a particular contract, that contract will be priced at the mean of the valuations of the two most widely accepted and well documented methods for deriving prices for option contracts, the Black-Scholes model and the binomial model, as of the stock market close.
Short-term investments in fixed income securities, with maturities of less than 60 days when acquired, or which subsequently are within 60 days of maturity, are valued by using the amortized cost method of valuation, which the Board has determined will represent fair value. These securities will be classified as Level 2 securities.
In accordance with the Funds good faith pricing guidelines, the Adviser, Sub-Adviser, or valuation committee is required to consider all appropriate factors relevant to the value of securities for which it has determined other pricing sources are not available or reliable as described above. No single standard exists for determining fair value, because fair value depends upon the circumstances of each individual case. As a general principle, the current fair value of an issue of securities being valued by the Adviser, Sub-Adviser, or valuation committee would appear to be the amount which the owner might reasonably expect to receive for them upon their current sale. Methods which are in accordance with this principle may, for example, be based on (i) a multiple of earnings; (ii) a discount from market of a similar freely traded security (including a derivative security or a basket of securities traded on other markets, exchanges or among dealers); or (iii) yield to maturity with respect to debt issues, or a combination of these and other methods. Good faith pricing is permitted if, in the Advisers, a Sub-Advisers, or the valuation committees opinion, the validity of market quotations appears to be questionable based on factors such as evidence of a thin market in the security based on a small number of quotations, a significant event occurs after the close of a market but before a Funds NAV calculation that may affect a securitys value, or the Adviser or a Sub-Adviser is aware of any other data that calls into question the reliability of market quotations.
Good faith pricing may also be used in instances when the bonds the Funds invest in may default or otherwise cease to have market quotations readily available. Investments in foreign securities, junk bonds or other thinly traded securities are more likely to trigger good faith pricing than other securities.

4. DERIVATIVE FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
The following discloses the Funds use of derivative instruments. The Funds investment objectives not only permit the Funds to purchase investment securities, they also allow the Funds to enter into various types of derivative contracts such as purchased and written options and forward foreign currency contracts. In doing so, the Funds will employ strategies in differing combinations to permit them 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 Funds to pursue their objectives more quickly and efficiently than if they were to make direct purchases or sales of securities capable of effecting a similar response to market factors.
Market Risk Factors: In pursuit of their investment objectives, the Funds may seek to use derivatives to increase or decrease their exposure to the following market risk factors:
Equity Risk: Equity risk relates to the change in value of equity securities as they relate to increases or decreases in the general market.
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 Funds use of derivatives can result in losses due to unanticipated changes in the market risk factors and the overall market. 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 Funds to increase their market value exposure relative to their net assets and can substantially increase the volatility of the Funds performance.
Additional associated risks from investing in derivatives also exist and potentially could have significant effects on the valuation of the derivative and the Funds. Typically, the associated risks are not the risks that the Funds are attempting to increase or decrease exposure to, per their 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 Funds 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 Funds.
Option Writing/Purchasing
The Funds may write or purchase option contracts to adjust risk and return of their overall investment positions. When a fund writes or purchases an option, an amount equal to the premium received or paid by the Funds is recorded as a liability or an asset and is subsequently adjusted to the current market value of the option written or purchased. Premiums received or paid from writing or purchasing options that expire unexercised are treated by the Funds on the expiration date as realized gains or losses. The difference between the premium and the amount paid or received on effecting a closing purchase or sale transaction, including brokerage

commissions, is also treated as a realized gain or loss. If an option is exercised, the premium paid or received is added to the cost of the purchase or proceeds from the sale in determining whether the Funds have realized a gain or loss on investment transactions. Risks from entering into option transactions arise from the potential inability of counterparties to meet the terms of the contracts, the potential inability to enter into closing transactions because of an illiquid secondary market and from unexpected movements in security values. Cash segregated as collateral for written option contracts is shown on the Managed Volatility Funds Statement of Assets and Liabilities.
Forward Foreign Currency Contracts
The Funds may engage in currency transactions with counterparties to hedge the value of portfolio securities denominated in particular currencies against fluctuations in relative value, to gain or reduce exposure to certain currencies, or to generate income or gains. A forward foreign currency contract is an agreement between two parties to buy and sell a currency at a set price on a future date. The contract is marked-to-market daily and the change in value is recorded by the Funds as an unrealized gain or loss. When a forward foreign currency contract is extinguished, through either delivery or offset by entering into another forward foreign currency contract, the Funds record a realized gain or loss equal to the difference between the value of the contract at the time it was opened and the value of the contract at the time it was extinguished.
Forward foreign currency contracts involve elements of market risk in excess of the amounts reflected in the Statements of Assets and Liabilities. The Funds bear the risk of an unfavorable change in the foreign exchange rate underlying the forward foreign currency contract. Risks may also arise upon entering into these contracts from the potential inability of the counterparties to meet the terms of their contracts.
Total Return Swaps
Certain Funds may enter into total return swaps. During the six month period ended March 31, 2014, the Core Opportunity Fund invested in a total return swap. Total return swaps are agreements that provide the Fund with a return based on the performance of an underlying asset, in exchange for fee payments to a counterparty based on a specific rate. The difference in the value of these income streams is recorded daily by the Fund, and is settled in cash at the end of each month or if the cumulative amount owed to either party is greater than or equal to $250,000. The fee paid by the Fund will typically be determined by multiplying the face value of the swap agreement by an agreed upon interest rate. In addition, if the underlying asset declines in value over the term of the swap, the Fund would also be required to pay the dollar value of that decline to the counterparty. Total return swaps could result in losses if the underlying asset does not perform as anticipated by the Adviser. The Fund may use its own net asset value as the underlying asset in a total return swap. This strategy serves to reduce cash drag (the impact of cash on the Funds overall return) by replacing it with the impact of market exposure based upon the Funds own investment holdings. The Fund records fluctuations in the value of open swap contracts on a daily basis as unrealized gains or losses. Net amounts received or paid on the swap contracts are recorded as realized gains or losses. The Fund values the total return swaps in which it enters based on a formula of the underlying assets nightly value, the Overnight London-Interbank Offered Rate (USD-LIBOR) and an annual fee or various agreed upon inputs. These securities will be categorized as Level 2 securities. The Core Opportunity Fund has an agreement with ReFlow Fund, LLC to receive the total return of the Fund, based on its daily change in NAV less USD-LIBOR plus an annualized spread of 1.95%. The agreement terminates November 28, 2014.

Certain derivative contracts are executed under either standardized netting agreements or, for exchange-traded derivatives, the relevant contracts for a particular exchange which contain enforceable netting provisions. A derivative netting arrangement creates an enforceable right of set-off that becomes effective, and affects the realization of settlement on individual assets, liabilities and collateral amounts, only following a specified event of default or early termination. Default events may include the failure to make payments or deliver securities timely, material adverse changes in financial condition or insolvency, the breach of minimum regulatory capital requirements, or loss of license, charter or other legal authorization necessary to perform under the contract. Balance Sheet netting was considered and it was determined there are no master netting agreements related to the Funds positions in options and forward foreign currency contracts.
5. SHORT SALES
The Managed Volatility Fund may enter into short sales transactions to realize additional gains or hedge investments. Short sales are transactions in which the Managed Volatility Fund sells a security that it may not own. When the Managed Volatility Fund engages in a short sale, it may borrow the security sold short and deliver it to the counterparty. The Managed Volatility Fund will ordinarily have to pay a fee or premium to borrow a security and be obligated to repay the lender of the security any dividend or interest that accrues on the security during the period of the loan. Securities sold in short sale transactions and the dividend or interest payable on such securities, if any, are reflected as payable for short sales on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Short sales expose the Managed Volatility Fund to the risk that it will be required to cover its short position at a time when the security or other asset has appreciated in value, thus resulting in losses to the Managed Volatility Fund. A Funds loss on a short sale could theoretically be unlimited in cases where the Fund is unable, for whatever reason, to close out its short position. Cash segregated as collateral for securities sold short is shown on the Managed Volatility Funds statement of Assets and Liabilities.
6. LOAN PARTICIPATIONS AND ASSIGNMENTS
The High Income Fund may invest in direct debt instruments which are interests in amounts owed to lenders or lending syndicates by corporate, governmental, or other borrowers. The High Income Fund will normally invest in corporate issuers in North America and Europe. The High Income Fund investments in loans may be in the form of participations in loans or assignments of all or a portion of loans from third parties. A loan is often administered by a bank or other financial institution (the lender) that acts as agent for all holders. The agent administers the terms of the loan, as specified in the loan agreement. The High Income Fund may invest in multiple series or tranches of a loan, which may have varying terms and carry different associated risks. The High Income Fund generally has no right to enforce compliance with the terms of the loan agreement with the borrower. As a result, the High Income Fund may be subject to the credit risk of both the borrower and the lender that is selling the loan agreement. When the High Income Fund purchases assignments from lenders it acquires direct rights against the borrower of the loan. The High Income Fund may enter into unfunded loan commitments, which are contractual obligations for future funding. Unfunded loan commitments represent a future obligation in full, even though a percentage of the notional loan amounts may not be utilized by the borrower. When investing in a loan participation, the High Income Fund has the right to receive payments of principal, interest and any fees to which it is entitled only from the lender selling the loan agreement and only upon receipt of payments by the lender from the borrower. The High Income Fund may receive a commitment fee based on the undrawn portion of the underlying line of credit portion of a

floating rate loan. In certain circumstances, the High Income Fund may receive a penalty fee upon the prepayment of a floating rate loan by a borrower. Fees earned or paid are recorded as a component of interest income or interest expense, respectively, on the Statement of Operations. At March 31, 2014, the High Income Fund had $6,242,382 in outstanding domestic and foreign loan commitments.
7. INVESTMENT ADVISORY FEE AND OTHER TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES
The Adviser serves as the investment adviser to the Funds. Under the terms of the management agreement (the Agreement), the Adviser, subject to the supervision of the Board, provides or arranges to be provided to the Funds such investment advice as it deems advisable and will furnish or arrange to be furnished a continuous investment program for the Funds consistent with the Funds investment objectives and policies. As compensation for its management services, the Funds are obligated to pay the Adviser a fee computed and accrued daily and paid monthly in arrears at an annual rate of the average daily net assets of the Funds.

8. TAX BASIS INFORMATION
Tax Basis of Distributions to Shareholders
Tax Basis of Distributions to Shareholders: The character of distributions made during the year from net investment income or net realized gains may differ from its ultimate characterization for federal income tax purposes. Also, due to the timing of dividend distributions, the fiscal year in which amounts are distributed may differ from the fiscal year in which the income or realized gain were recorded by a Fund.
The amounts and characteristics of tax basis distributions and composition of distributable earnings/(accumulated losses) are finalized at fiscal year end; accordingly, tax basis balances have not been determined as of March 31, 2014.
The tax character of distributions paid by the Funds during the fiscal year ended September 30, 2013, was as follows:

Components of Distributable Earnings on a Tax Basis: The tax components of distributable earnings are determined in accordance with income tax regulations which may differ from the composition of net assets reported under GAAP. Accordingly, for the year ended September 30, 2013, certain differences were reclassified. These differences were primarily due to book/tax distribution differences, to the different tax treatment of organizational costs and certain other investments; the amounts reclassified did not affect net assets.

The Funds had a $100,000,000 Revolving Credit Agreement with The Northern Trust Company prior to the transition of the Funds custodian to State Street Bank & Trust, Co. on March 3, 2014. Borrowings under this arrangement were secured by investments held in each Funds portfolio and incurred interest at the Federal Funds Rate in effect on the day the loan was made plus 1.15% or a minimum of 1.75%, whichever was greater. For unloaned balances the Funds paid a facility fee equal to the product of $100,000,000 less the principal amount of loans outstanding and 0.15%, this fee is reported on the Statements of Operations as Facility Loan Fee. This contract was terminated with the transition of the Funds custodian.

Under the Trusts organizational documents, its officers and Trustees are indemnified against certain liability arising out of the performance of their duties to the Trust. Additionally, in the normal course of business, the Trust enters into contracts with service providers that may contain general indemnification clauses. The Trusts maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown, as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Trust that have not yet occurred.
13. RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
In June 2013, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2013-08, Financial Services-Investment Companies (Topic 946): Amendments to the Scope, Measurement, and Disclosure Requirements. The FASB standard identifies characteristics a company must assess to determine whether it is considered an investment company for financial reporting purposes. This ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2013. The Funds believes the adoption of this ASU will not have a material impact on its financial statements.
14. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
On April 8, 2014 the Funds entered into a Revolving Credit Agreement with State Street Bank & Trust, Co. Borrowings under this arrangement will be secured by investments held in each Funds portfolio and will bear interest at the higher of the Federal Funds Rate and the One - Month LIBOR Rate in effect on the day the loan is made plus 1.25%, whichever is greater. For unloaned balances the Funds will pay a facility fee equal to the product of $100,000,000 less the principal amount of loans outstanding and 0.10%.

BOARD CONSIDERATIONS REGARDING APPROVAL OF INVESTMENT ADVISORY AND SUB-ADVISORY AGREEMENTS
Renewal of Investment Advisory Agreement
At an in-person meeting of the Board, held on November 20, 2013 and called expressly for that purpose, the Board, including the Independent Trustees, considered the renewal of the Management Agreement between the Adviser and the Trust. The Board received materials compiled by the Adviser and the Funds administrator including a copy of the Management Agreement, the Advisers response to a questionnaire regarding the Advisers profitability, management and operations, a copy of the Advisers Form ADV, certifications regarding the Advisers compliance programs and information regarding the performance of Funds benchmark indices and peer funds. The Board considered the following factors, among others, in reaching its determination to renew the Management Agreement: (i) the investment performance of the Funds and the investment performance of the Adviser, (ii) the nature, extent and quality of the services provided by the Adviser to the Funds, (iii) the costs of the services provided and the profits to be realized by the Adviser and any of its affiliates from the relationship with each Fund, (iv) the extent to which economies of scale will be realized by each Fund as it grows, and (v) whether each Funds fee levels reflected the economies of scale to the benefit of the Funds shareholders.
Core Opportunity Fund
Regarding the Core Opportunity Fund, the Board reviewed the performance of the Fund for the year-to-date, one-year, three-year and five-year periods as of September 30, 2013. These returns were compared to the returns of mutual funds in Morningstars Moderate Allocation and Multialternative Categories. The Trustees also reviewed the Funds performance relative to an appropriate peer group, to relevant securities indices, and to other funds managed by the Adviser. The Board concluded that the performance compared favorably to the Multialternative Category peer group averages and underperformed the Moderate Allocation Strategy for the year-to-date, one-year, and three-year periods and over performed for the five-year period. The Board further noted that the performance of the Core Opportunity Fund was mixed compared to the returns of the relative benchmark indices.
As to the comparative fees and expenses, the Trustees considered the management and the other fees paid by the Fund and compared those to the management and other fees paid by funds in a relative peer group. The Board noted that the Core Opportunity Fund annual net expense ratio of 1.36% was higher than the median of 1.09% and higher than the average of 1.02% for the other funds in Morningstars Moderate Allocation Category, but less that the highest which was 1.78%. The Board also noted that the annual gross expense ratio of 1.36% was higher than the median of 1.20% and higher than the average of 1.07% for the other funds in Morningstars Moderate Allocation Category. The Board noted, however, that the higher gross fees were attributable to the fees charged by the closed-end funds in which the Fund invests and were not direct operating expenses of the Fund.
The Board also noted that the annual management fee of 1.00% for the Fund was above the 0.65% median and the 0.57% average paid by the other peer funds in the Morningstar Moderate Allocation Category. The Board noted that the Funds 1.00% management fee was lower than the maximum fee of 1.10% charged by the peers in the Morningstar Moderate Allocation Category and

that the minimum fee for the same peer group was 0.00%. The Board noted, however, that the funds with no management fee, which reduced the average, were likely funds of funds where the adviser was likely paid on the underlying fund assets. The Board, including the Independent Trustees, determined that although fees were somewhat high relative to the Funds peers, the fees were reasonable given the unique investment characteristics of the Fund and the nature of the services to be provided by the Adviser.
Strategic Income Fund
Regarding the Strategic Income Fund, the Board reviewed the performance of the Fund for the year-to-date and one-year period ended September 30, 2013. The Board noted that the Strategic Income Fund underperformed peer mutual funds in Morningstars Multi-Sector Bond and Alternative Categories. The Board also reviewed the Funds performance relative to an appropriate peer group, to relevant securities indices, and to other funds managed by the Adviser. The Board noted that the performance was nonetheless reasonable given the challenging conditions that existed in fixed income markets during the period, and further noted that the performance was generally in line with the peer group averages and to the returns of the relative benchmark index.
As to the comparative fees and expenses, the Trustees considered the management and the other fees paid by the Fund and compared those to the management and other fees paid by funds in a relative peer group. The Board noted that the annual net expense ratio of 0.90% for the Institutional class was lower than the median of 0.96% and lower than the average of 0.97% for the other funds in Morningstars Multi-Sector Bond Category, and less than the highest which was 1.71%. The Board also noted that the annual gross expense ratio of 1.23% for the Institutional class was higher than the median of 1.05% and slightly lower than the average of 1.24% for the other funds in Morningstars Multi-Sector Bond Category. The Board noted, however, that the higher gross fees were partially attributable to the fees charged by the closed-end funds in which the Fund invests and were not direct operating expenses of the Fund.
The Board also noted that the annual management fee of 0.75% for the Fund was above the 0.56% median and the 0.61% average paid by the other peer funds in the Morningstar MultiSector Bond Category. The Board noted that the Funds 0.75% management fee was lower; however, than the 1.25% maximum fee charged by the peers and the Morningstar Multi Sector Bond Category and that the minimum fee for the same peer group was 0.00%. The Board noted, however, that the funds with no management fee, which reduced the average, were likely funds of funds where the adviser was likely paid on the underlying fund assets. The Board, including the Independent Trustees, determined that although the fees were somewhat high, relative to the Funds peers, the fees were reasonable given the nature of the Funds investment strategy, the capabilities of the Adviser and the Sub-Adviser, and the nature of the services to be provided to the Fund.
As to the nature, extent and quality of the services to be provided by the Adviser to the Funds, the Board considered that under the terms of the Management Agreement, the Adviser would, be subject to the supervision of the Board, provide or arrange to be provided to the Funds such investment advice as the Adviser, in its discretion, deems advisable and will furnish or arrange to be furnished a continuous investment program for the Funds consistent with the Funds investment objective and policies. The Board reviewed the Advisers Form ADV which was previously provided to the Board and which provided details regarding the experience of each of the Advisers personnel. The Adviser also provided additional information regarding its experience managing other investment accounts. Based on the foregoing information, the Board, including

the Independent Trustees concluded that the Adviser had provided quality services and would continue to do so for the Funds.
As to the cost of the services to be provided and to the profits to be realized by the Adviser, the Board reviewed the Advisers estimates of its profitability and its financial condition. The Board noted the Advisers financial condition is stable as additional accounts and income from its mutual funds have contributed to higher revenues for the Adviser. The Board, including the Independent Trustees, determined that the Management Agreement, with respect to the Core Opportunity Fund and the Strategic Income Fund was not overly profitable to the Adviser and the financial condition of the Adviser was adequate.
Equity Opportunity Fund (formerly Manning & Napier Dividend Income Fund)
Regarding the Equity Opportunity Fund, the Board reviewed the performance of the Fund for the year-to-date and one-year period ended September 30, 2013. The Board noted that the returns were less than but comparable to Morningstars Large Blend Equity Fund Category. The Board also reviewed the Funds performance relative to an appropriate peer group, to relevant securities indices, and to other funds managed by the Adviser. The Board concluded that the performance compared in line with the peer group averages and the returns of the relative benchmark index.
As to the comparative fees and expenses, the Trustees considered the management and the other fees paid by the Fund and compared those to the management and other fees paid by funds in a relative peer group. The Board noted that the annual net expense ratio of 1.35% for the Institutional class was lower than the median of 1.41% and lower than the average of 1.41% for the other funds in Morningstars Large Blend Equity Funds Category, and less than the highest which was 2.61%. The Board also noted that the annual gross expense ratio of 1.98% for the Institutional class was lower than the median of 2.12% and lower than the average of 3.20% for the other funds in Morningstars Large Blend Equity Funds Category.
The Board noted that the annual net expense ratio of 1.60% for the retail class was higher than the median of 1.41% and higher than the average of 1.41% for the other funds in Morningstars Large Blend Equity Funds Category, and less than the highest which was 2.61%. The Board also noted that the annual gross expense ratio of 2.21% for the retail class was higher than the median of 2.12% and lower than the average of 3.20% for the other funds in Morningstars Large Blend Equity Funds Category.
The Board also noted that the annual management fee of 1.00% for the Fund was above the 0.83% median and the 0.83% average paid by the other peer funds in the Morningstar Large Blend Equity Funds Category. The Board noted that the Funds 1.00% management fee was lower; however, than the 1.40% maximum fee charged by the peers in the Morningstar Large Blend Equity Funds Category and that the minimum fee for the same peer group is 0.00%. The Board noted, however, that the funds with no management fee, which reduced the average, were likely funds of funds where the adviser was likely paid on the underlying fund assets. The Board, including the Independent Trustees, determined that although the fees were somewhat high, relative to the Funds peers, the fees were reasonable given the nature of the Funds investment strategy, the capabilities of the Adviser, and the nature of the services to be provided to the Fund.

subject to the supervision of the Board, provide or arrange to be provided to the Funds such investment advice as the Adviser, in its discretion, deems advisable and will furnish or arrange to be furnished a continuous investment program for the Funds consistent with the Funds investment objective and policies. The Board reviewed the Advisers Form ADV which was previously provided to the Board and which provided details regarding the experience of each of the Advisers personnel. The Adviser also provided additional information regarding its experience managing other investment accounts. Based on the foregoing information, the Board, including the Independent Trustees concluded that the Adviser had provided quality services and would continue to do so for the Funds.
As to the cost of the services to be provided and to the profits to be realized by the Adviser, the Board reviewed the Advisers estimates of its profitability and its financial condition. The Board noted the Advisers financial condition is stable as additional accounts and income from its mutual funds have contributed to higher revenues for the Adviser. The Board further noted the Advisers intent to cease the engagement of Manning & Napier as sub-adviser to the Equity Opportunity Fund and that would likely result in changes to the profitability of the Fund to the Adviser in the future. The Board, including the Independent Trustees, determined that the Management Agreement, with respect to the Equity Opportunity Fund was not overly profitable to the Adviser and the financial condition of the Adviser was adequate.
Managed Volatility Fund (formerly Dynamic Buy-Write Fund)
Regarding the Managed Volatility Fund, the Board reviewed the performance of the Fund for the year-to-date period ended September 30, 2013. The Board noted that the Managed Volatility Fund returns underperformed the Morningstars Long/Short Equity Funds Category. The Board also reviewed the Funds performance relative to an appropriate peer group, to relevant securities indices, and to other funds managed by the Adviser. The Board noted that the performance did not compare favorably to the peer group averages and to the returns of the relative benchmark index for the short-term period presented.
As to the comparative fees and expenses, the Trustees considered the management and the other fees paid by the Fund and compared those to the management and other fees paid by funds in a relative peer group. The Board noted that the annual net expense ratio of 1.80% for the Institutional class was slightly higher than the median of 1.75% and slightly lower than the average of 1.85% for the other funds in Morningstars Long/Short Equity Funds Category, but less than the highest which was 2.99%. The Board also noted that the annual gross expense ratio of 2.19% for the Institutional class was lower than the median of 3.38% and lower than the average of 4.01% for the other funds in Morningstars Long/Short Equity Funds Category.
The Board also noted that the annual management fee of 1.00% for the Fund was below the 1.25% median and the 1.27% average paid by the other peer funds in the Morningstar Long/Short Equity Funds Category. The Board noted that the Funds 1.00% management fee was also lower than the 2.50% maximum fee charged by the peers in the Morningstar Long/Short Equity Funds Category and that the minimum fee for the same peer group was 0.00%. The Board noted that the funds with no management fee, which reduced the average, were likely funds of funds where the adviser was likely paid on the underlying fund assets. The Board, including the Independent Trustees, determined that the fees were reasonable given the nature of the Funds investment strategy, the capabilities of the Adviser, and the nature of the services to be provided to the Fund.

The Board, including the Independent Trustees, determined that the Management Agreement, with respect to the Managed Volatility Fund was not overly profitable to the Adviser and the financial condition of the Adviser was adequate.
The Board noted that the Adviser has no affiliations with the Funds transfer agent fund account, custodian, or distributor and therefore does not derive any benefits from the relationships these parties may have with the Trust. The Board, including the Independent Trustees, determined that although an affiliate of the Adviser did receive some benefits from the Fund in the form of brokerage commissions, those commissions were comparable to those negotiated in arms length negotiations and therefore did not disadvantage the Funds in commission costs, and may have benefited the Funds as a result of better execution services. The Board further noted that as of September 30, 2013, the affiliated broker-dealer was closed and no longer provided services to the Trust.
Renewal of Investment Sub-Advisory Agreement Strategic Income Fund
At an in-person meeting of the Board, held on November 20, 2013 and called expressly for that purpose, the Board, including the Independent Trustees, considered the renewal of the Sub-Advisory Agreement between the Adviser and DoubleLine Capital LP (the Sub-Adviser) for the Strategic Income Fund. The Board received materials compiled by the Sub-Adviser and the Funds administrator including a copy of the Sub-Advisory Agreement, the Sub-Advisers response to a questionnaire regarding the Sub-Advisers profitability, management and operations, a copy of the Sub-Advisers Form ADV, certifications regarding the Sub-Advisers compliance programs and information regarding the performance of Strategic Income Funds benchmark indices and peer funds. The Board considered the following factors, among others, in reaching its determination to renew the Sub-Advisory Agreement: (i) the investment performance of the Strategic Income Fund and the investment performance of the Sub-Adviser, (ii) the nature, extent and quality of the services provided by the Sub-Adviser to the Strategic Income Fund, (iii) the costs of the services provided and the profits to be realized by the Sub-Adviser and any of its affiliates from the relationship with the Strategic Income Fund, (iv) the extent to which economies of scale will be realized by the Strategic Income Fund as it grows, and (v) whether the Strategic Income Funds fee levels reflected the economies of scale to the benefit of the Strategic Income Funds shareholders.

The Board, including the Independent Trustees, concluded that the performance was in line with the peer group averages and to the returns of the relative benchmark index.
As to the comparative fees and expenses, the Board considered the management fee paid by the Strategic Income Fund to the Adviser, and noted that the Adviser pays the Sub-Adviser from its fee, which the Board had previously determined was reasonable. The Board noted that the sub-advisory fee paid by the Adviser to the Sub-Adviser was reasonable as well given the fees the Sub-Adviser charges other clients to manage similar strategies.
As to the nature, extent and quality of the services to be provided by the Sub-Adviser to the Strategic Income Fund, the Board considered that under the terms of the Sub-Advisory Agreement, the Sub-Adviser would, subject to the supervision of the Board, provide to the Strategic Income Fund such investment advice as the Sub-Adviser, in its discretion, deems advisable and will furnish or arrange to be furnished a continuous investment program for the Strategic Income Fund consistent with the Funds investment objective and policies.
