RiverNorth Funds Portfolio Update

 Fixed Income Allocation(1)(2) (percentages are based on net assets)

 

 

 

Portfolio detail statistics are estimates made by the adviser and are subject to change.

  

(1) Convertible Security Risk – the market value of convertible securities adjusts with interest rates and the value of the underlying stock. Exchange Traded Note Risk – exchange traded notes represent unsecured debt of the issuer and may be influenced by interest rates, credit ratings of the issuer or changes in value of the reference index. Fixed Income Risk – the market value of fixed income securities adjusts with interest rates and the securities are subject to issuer default. Foreign/Emerging Market Risk – foreign securities may be subject to inefficient or volatile markets, different regulatory regimes or different tax policies. These risks may be enhanced in emerging markets. Management Risk – there is no guarantee that the adviser’s investment decisions will produce the desired results. Large Shareholder Purchase and Redemption Risk – The Fund may experience adverse effects when certain large shareholders purchase or redeem large amounts of shares of the Fund. LIBOR Risk – The discontinuation of the London Interbank Offered Rate ("LIBOR") may lead to increased volatility and illiquidity in markets that are tied to LIBOR, reduced values of LIBOR-related investments, and reduced effectiveness of hedging strategies, adversely affecting the Fund's performance or net asset value. Market Risk – economic conditions, interest rates and political events may affect the securities markets. Real Estate Investment Trust ("REIT") Risk – the value of REITs changes with the value of the underlying properties and changes in interest rates and are subject to additional fees. Security Risk – The value of the Fund may decrease in response to the activities and financial prospects of individual securities in the Fund’s portfolio. Short Sale Risk – short positions are speculative, are subject to transaction costs and are riskier than long positions in securities. Special Purpose Acquisition Companies ("SPAC") Risk – The value of SPAC securities is particularly dependent on the ability of the entity’s management to identify and complete a profitable acquisition. Certain SPACs may seek acquisitions only in limited industries or regions, which may increase the volatility of their prices. Investments in SPACs may be illiquid and/or be subject to restrictions on resale. To the extent the SPAC is invested in cash or similar securities, this may impact the Fund’s ability to meet its investment objective. Small-Cap Risk – small cap companies are more susceptible to failure, are often thinly traded and have more volatile stock prices. Structured Notes Risk – because of the imbedded derivative feature, structured notes are subject to more risk than investing in a simple note or bond. Swap Risk – swap agreements are subject to counterparty default risk and may not perform as intended. Underlying Fund Risk – underlying funds have additional fees, may utilize leverage, may not correlate to an intended index and may trade at a discount to their net asset values.

(2) Credit quality allocation reflects a fixed-income portfolio weighted average of the credit breakdown of each closed-end fund as provided by the adviser of said closed-end fund.

RiverNorth Funds Portfolio Update

 

March 31, 2021 (Unaudited)

 

(1) Borrowing Risk – borrowings increase fund expenses and are subject to repayment, possibly at inopportune times. Closed- End Fund Risk – closed-end funds are exchange traded, may trade at a discount to their net asset values and may deploy leverage. Convertible Security Risk – the market value of convertible securities adjusts with interest rates and the value of the underlying stock. Credit Derivatives Risk – the use of credit derivatives is highly specialized, involves default, counterparty and liquidity risks and may not perfectly correlate to the underlying asset or liability being hedged. Currency Risk – foreign currencies will rise or decline relative to the U.S. dollar. Distressed and Defaulted Securities Risk – defaulted securities carry the risk of uncertainty of repayment. Equity Risk – equity securities may experience volatility and the value of equity securities may move in opposite directions from each other and from other equity markets generally. Fixed Income Risk – the market value of fixed income securities adjusts with interest rates and the securities are subject to issuer default. Foreign/Emerging Market Risk – foreign securities may be subject to inefficient or volatile markets, different regulatory regimes or different tax policies. These risks may be enhanced in emerging markets. Floating Interest Rate Risk – loans pay interest based on the London Interbank Offered Rate (LIBOR) and a decline in LIBOR could negatively impact the Fund’s return. Investment Style Risk – investment strategies may come in and out of favor with investors and may underperform or outperform at times. Large Shareholder Purchase and Redemption Risk – The Fund may experience adverse effects when certain large shareholders purchase or redeem large amounts of shares of the Fund. LIBOR Risk – The discontinuation of LIBOR may lead to increased volatility and illiquidity in markets that are tied to LIBOR, reduced values of LIBOR-related investments, and reduced effectiveness of hedging strategies, adversely affecting the Fund's performance or net asset value. Loans Risk – loans may be unrated or rated below investment grade and the pledged collateral may lose value. Secondary trading in loans is not fully-developed and may result in illiquidity. Management Risk – there is no guarantee that the adviser’s or sub-adviser’s investment decisions will produce the desired results. Market Risk – economic conditions, interest rates and political events may affect the securities markets. Portfolio Turnover Risk – increased portfolio turnover results in higher brokerage expenses and may impact the tax status of distributions. Preferred Stock Risk – preferred stocks generally pay dividends, but may be less liquid than common stocks, have less priority than debt instruments and may be subject to redemption by the issuer. Security Risk – the value of the Fund may increase or decrease in response to the prospects of the issuers of securities and loans held in the Fund. Special Purpose Acquisition Companies ("SPAC") Risk – The value of SPAC securities is particularly dependent on the ability of the entity’s management to identify and complete a profitable acquisition. Certain SPACs may seek acquisitions only in limited industries or regions, which may increase the volatility of their prices. Investments in SPACs may be illiquid and/or be subject to restrictions on resale. To the extent the SPAC is invested in cash or similar securities, this may impact the Fund’s ability to meet its investment objective. Swap Risk – swap agreements are subject to counterparty default risk and may not perform as intended. Underlying Fund Risk – underlying funds have additional fees, may utilize leverage, may not correlate to an intended index and may trade at a discount to their net asset values. Valuation Risk – Loans and fixed-income securities are traded “over the counter” and because there is no centralized information regarding trading, the valuation of loans and fixed-income securities may vary.

(2) For the sleeve managed by RiverNorth Capital Management, LLC, credit quality allocation reflects a fixed-income portfolio weighted average of the credit breakdown of each closed-end fund as provided by the advisor of said closed-end fund. If a credit breakdown is not provided by the advisor, Bloomberg is used. For the sleeves managed by Oaktree Capital Management, L.P., the sub-adviser uses a proprietary credit scoring matrix to rank potential investments. This process offers a systematic way of reviewing the key quantitative and qualitative variables impacting credit quality for each investment. Investment grade refers to a bond rated BBB- or higher by Standard & Poor’s or Baa3 or higher by Moody’s. High yield refers to a bond rated lower than investment grade.

RiverNorth Funds Disclosure of Fund Expenses

 

March 31, 2021 (Unaudited)

 

Expense Example

As a shareholder of the RiverNorth Funds (the "Trust" or "Funds"), you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs; 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, 2020, and held for the six months ended March 31, 2021.

 

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 variable 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 Fund’s actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not each Fund’s actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in 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”). The Trust Agreement permits the Board of Trustees (the “Board” or “Trustees”) to authorize and issue an unlimited number of shares of beneficial interest of a separate series without par value. All classes of shares for each of the Funds have identical rights to earnings, assets and voting privileges, except for class-specific expenses and exclusive rights to vote on matters affecting only individual classes. The Funds are considered investment companies and therefore follow the Investment Company accounting and reporting guidance of the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification Topic 946 Financial Services Investment Companies.

 

The RiverNorth Core Opportunity Fund (the “Core Opportunity Fund”) was organized as a diversified series of the Trust on July 18, 2006 and commenced investment operations on December 27, 2006. The Core Opportunity Fund offers two classes of shares, Class I Shares (inception date of August 11, 2014) and Class R Shares (inception date of December 27, 2006). The investment adviser to the Core Opportunity Fund is RiverNorth Capital Management, LLC ("RiverNorth" or the “Adviser”). The investment objective of the Core Opportunity Fund is to seek long-term capital appreciation and income.

 

The RiverNorth/DoubleLine Strategic Income Fund (the “Strategic Income Fund”) is a diversified series of the Trust and commenced investment operations on December 30, 2010. The Strategic Income Fund offers two classes of shares, Class I Shares and Class R Shares. The investment adviser to the Strategic Income Fund is RiverNorth. The Strategic Income Fund’s sub-adviser is DoubleLine Capital, LP (“DoubleLine”). The investment objective of the Strategic Income Fund is current income and overall total return.

 

The RiverNorth/Oaktree High Income Fund (the “High Income Fund”) is a diversified series of the Trust and commenced investment operations on December 28, 2012. The High Income Fund offers two classes of shares, Class I Shares and Class R Shares. The investment adviser to the High Income Fund is RiverNorth. The High Income Fund’s sub-adviser is Oaktree Capital Management, L.P. (“Oaktree Capital,” and with DoubleLine, each a “Sub-Adviser” or collectively, the “Sub-Advisers”). The investment objective of the High Income Fund is overall total return consisting of long-term capital appreciation and income.

 

2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

 

The following is a summary of significant accounting policies followed by the Funds. These policies are in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“GAAP”). The financial statements are prepared in accordance with GAAP, which requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts and disclosures, including the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities, 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” or the "Exchange") on the fiscal period end of the Funds.

  

 

Semi-Annual Report | March 31, 2021 121

 

 

RiverNorth Funds Notes to Financial Statements

 

March 31, 2021 (Unaudited)

 

Security Valuation: The Funds’ assets and other financial instruments 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 Funds, and interest income and expenses are 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 Funds’ understanding of the applicable country’s 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. Settlement on bank loans transactions may be in excess of seven business days. Interest only stripped mortgage backed securities ("IO Strips") are securities that receive only interest payments from a pool of mortgage loans. Little to no principal will be received by the Funds upon maturity of an IO Strip. Periodic adjustments are recorded to reduce the cost of the security until maturity, which are included in interest income.

 

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.

 

Certain foreign countries impose a capital gains tax which is accrued by the Funds based on the unrealized appreciation, if any, on affected securities. Any accrual would reduce a Fund’s net asset value ("NAV"). The tax is paid when the gain is realized and is included in capital gains tax in the Statements of Operations.

 

Other: The Funds hold 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 gains are recorded as a reduction of the cost of investments or as a realized gain, respectively.

Principal Investment Risks: All mutual funds carry a certain amount of risk. For more information on the related risks of investing in the Funds please refer to the prospectus of each Fund.

 

Share Valuation: The NAV is generally calculated as of the close of trading on the NYSE (normally 4:00 p.m. Eastern Time) every day the Exchange is open. The NAV is calculated by taking the total value of each Fund’s or class’ assets, subtracting its 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 NAV per share.

 

Expenses: Some expenses of the Trust can be directly attributed to a Fund or a 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 or another method approved by the Board.

 

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 six months ended March 31, 2021, 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.

 

The Funds recognize interest and penalties, if any, related to unrecognized tax benefits as income tax expenses in the Statements of Operations. During the six months ended March 31, 2021, the Funds did not incur any interest or penalties.

 

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.

 

 

Semi-Annual Report | March 31, 2021 123

 

 

RiverNorth Funds Notes to Financial Statements

 

March 31, 2021 (Unaudited)

 

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 using 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 entity’s 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, rights and warrants, closed-end funds, exchange-traded funds, preferred stocks and business development companies 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 short-term investments and open-end funds, are generally priced at the ending 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, convertible corporate bonds, U.S. Government bonds and notes, foreign government bonds and notes, supranationals and foreign agencies, non-agency collateralized mortgage obligations, U.S. government/agency mortgage backed securities, business development company notes, bank loans, collateralized loan obligations, municipal bonds, and high yield debt, as well as non-exchange traded derivatives, including forward foreign currency contracts, are normally valued on the basis of quotes obtained from brokers and dealers or independent pricing services. Foreign currency positions, including forward foreign 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.

 

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) discounted cash flow models; (iii) weighted average cost or weighted average price; (iv) 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 (v) yield to maturity with respect to debt issues, or a combination of these and other methods. Good faith pricing is permitted if, in the Adviser’s, a Sub-Adviser’s, or the valuation committee’s 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 Fund’s NAV calculation that may affect a security’s 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 in which the Funds invest 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 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 affecting a similar response to market factors.

RiverNorth Funds Notes to Financial Statements

 

March 31, 2021 (Unaudited)

 

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:

 

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.

 

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. During the six months ended March 31, 2021, the High Income Fund engaged in forward foreign currency contracts. The contracts are marked-to-market daily and the change in value is recorded by the High Income Fund 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 High Income Fund records a realized gain or loss equal to the difference between the value of the contract at the time it was opened and the value 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 Statement of Assets and Liabilities. The High Income Fund bears 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.

Offsetting Arrangements: Certain derivative contracts are executed under standardized netting agreements. 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. These agreements mitigate counterparty credit risk by providing for a single net settlement with a counterparty of all financial transactions covered by the agreement in an event of default as defined under such agreement.

5. LOAN PARTICIPATIONS AND ASSIGNMENTS

 

 

The Strategic Income Fund and High Income Fund may each invest in direct debt instruments which are interests in amounts owed to lenders or lending syndicates by corporate, governmental, or other borrowers. The Strategic Income Fund and High Income Fund will normally invest in corporate debt issuers in North America and Europe. The Strategic Income Fund’s and High Income Fund’s 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 Strategic Income Fund and High Income Fund may each invest in multiple series or tranches of a loan, which may have varying terms and carry different associated risks. The Strategic Income Fund and High Income Fund will generally purchase assignments of these loans, in which case they will typically become lenders for purposes of the relevant loan agreement with direct contractual rights against the borrower, including the right to receive payments of principal and interest. When purchasing participation interests in a loan, the Strategic Income Fund and High Income Fund generally have no right to enforce compliance with the terms of the loan agreement with the borrower. As a result, the Strategic Income Fund and High Income Fund may each be subject to the credit risk of both the borrower and the lender that is selling the loan agreement. The Strategic Income Fund and High Income Fund may each 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 Strategic Income Fund and High Income Fund have the right to receive payments of principal, interest and any fees to which they are entitled only from the lender selling the loan agreement and only upon receipt of payments by the lender from the borrower. The Strategic Income Fund and High Income Fund may each 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 Strategic Income Fund and High Income Fund may each receive a penalty fee upon the prepayment of a floating rate loan by a borrower. Fees earned are recorded as a component of interest income or interest expense, respectively, on the Statements of Operations. At March 31, 2021, the Strategic Income Fund and High Income Fund had $6,808,552 and $2,548,585 respectively, in unsettled domestic and foreign loan commitments.

6. ADVISORY FEES, TRUSTEE FEES AND OTHER AGREEMENTS

 

 

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.

 

The following table reflects the Funds’ contractual management fee rates (expressed as an annual rate).

 

Fund Contractual Management Fee
Core Opportunity Fund 1.00%
Strategic Income Fund 0.75%
High Income Fund 1.00%

 

The Adviser has contractually agreed to waive the High Income Fund’s management fees and/or reimburse expenses (excluding brokerage fees and commissions; borrowing costs such as (a) interest and (b) dividends on securities sold short; taxes; indirect expenses incurred by the underlying funds in which the Fund invests; and extraordinary expenses) of the High Income Fund until at least January 31, 2022 in order to maintain the Total Annual Fund Operating Expenses After Fee Deferral and/or Reimbursement at 1.60% and 1.35% for the Class R shares and Class I shares, respectively. This agreement may be terminated by the Board on 60 days’ written notice to the Adviser. Any waiver or reimbursement is subject to repayment by the High Income Fund within three years following the fiscal year in which the expenses occurred if the Fund is able to make the repayment without exceeding its current expense limitation and the repayment is approved by the Board.

For the year ended September 30, 2020, reimbursed expenses for the High Income Fund subject to potential recovery by year of expiration are as follows:

 

   Expiring September 30, 
   2022   2023   2024

Class R  $13,864   $19,074   $7,545 
Total  $111,856   $164,581   $69,866 

 

For the six months ended March 31, 2021, the Adviser voluntarily waived $90,652 in affiliated management fees attributable to the Strategic Income Fund related to the Fund's investment in an affiliate fund, the High Income Fund. The Investment Adviser Fee disclosed on the Strategic Income Fund's Statement of Operations is reflective of this waiver of affiliated management fees.

14. LIBOR TRANSITION

 

 

Certain of the Funds’ investments, payment obligations and financing terms may be based on floating rates, such as LIBOR, Euro Interbank Offered Rate and other similar types of reference rates (each, a “Reference Rate”). On July 27, 2017, the Chief Executive of the UK Financial Conduct Authority (“FCA”), which regulates LIBOR, announced that the FCA will no longer persuade nor compel banks to submit rates for the calculation of LIBOR and certain other Reference Rates after 2021. The FCA and ICE Benchmark Administrator have since announced that most LIBOR settings will no longer be published after December 31, 2021 and a majority of U.S. dollar LIBOR settings will cease publication after June 30, 2023. It is possible that a subset of LIBOR settings will be published after these dates on a “synthetic” basis, but any such publications would be considered non-representative of the underlying market. The U.S. Federal Reserve, based on the recommendations of the New York Federal Reserve's Alternative Reference Rate Committee (comprised of major derivative market participants and their regulators), has begun publishing SOFR that is intended to replace U.S. dollar LIBOR. Proposals for alternative reference rates for other currencies have also been announced or have already begun publication. Markets are slowly developing in response to these new reference rates. Uncertainty related to the liquidity impact of the change in rates, and how to appropriately adjust these rates at the time of transition, poses risks for the Funds. The effect of any changes to, or discontinuation of, LIBOR on the Funds will depend on, among other things, (1) existing fallback or termination provisions in individual contracts and (2) whether, how, and when industry participants develop and adopt new reference rates and fallbacks for both legacy and new instruments and contracts. The expected discontinuation of LIBOR could have a significant impact on the financial markets in general and may also present heightened risk to market participants, including public companies, investment advisers, investment companies, and broker-dealers. The risks associated with this discontinuation and transition will be exacerbated if the work necessary to effect an orderly transition to an alternative reference rate is not completed in a timely manner. For example, current information technology systems may be unable to accommodate new instruments and rates with features that differ from LIBOR. Accordingly, it is difficult to predict the full impact of the transition away from LIBOR on the Funds until new reference rates and fallbacks for both legacy and new instruments and contracts are commercially accepted and market practices become settled.

 

15. CORONAVIRUS (COVID-19) PANDEMIC

 

 

An outbreak of respiratory disease caused by a novel coronavirus was first detected in December 2019 and has spread internationally. The outbreak and efforts to contain its spread have resulted in closing borders and quarantines, restricting international and domestic travel, enhanced health screenings, cancellations, disrupted supply chains and customer activity, responses by businesses (including changes to operations and reducing staff), and have produced general concern and uncertainty. The impact of the coronavirus pandemic, and other epidemics and pandemics that may arise in the future could adversely affect national and global economies, individual companies and the market in general in a manner and for a period of time that cannot be foreseen at the present time and may adversely affect the value, volatility and liquidity of dividend and interest paying securities. In the event of a pandemic or an outbreak, there can be no assurance that the Funds and their service providers will be able to maintain normal business operations for an extended period of time or will not lose the services of key personnel on a temporary or long-term basis due to illness or other reasons, and could otherwise disrupt the ability of the Funds’ service providers to perform essential services. Certain economic and market conditions arising out of a pandemic or outbreak could result in the Funds’ inability to achieve their investment objectives, cause the postponement of reconstitution or rebalance dates for benchmark indices, adversely affect the prices and liquidity of the securities and other instruments in which the Funds invest, negatively impact the Funds’ performance, and cause losses on your investment in the Funds. Management is monitoring the development of the pandemic, which was ongoing as of the date of the financial statements, and is evaluating its impact on the financial position and operating results of the Funds.

RiverNorth Funds Board Considerations Regarding Approval of
Investment Advisory and Sub-Advisory Agreements

 

March 31, 2021 (Unaudited)

 

Consideration and Renewal of Investment Advisory Agreements with RiverNorth Capital Management, LLC

 

At a meeting of the Board of Trustees (the “Board”), held on November 11, 2020 and called expressly for that purpose, the Board, including a majority of the Trustees who are not “interested persons” (as defined in the 1940 Act (the “Independent Trustees”)), considered the renewal of the Management Agreement between RiverNorth Capital Management, LLC (“RiverNorth” or the “Adviser”) and the Trust.1 The Board received materials compiled by the Adviser and the Funds’ administrator, including, among other items, a copy of the Management Agreement, the Adviser’s response to a questionnaire regarding the Adviser’s profitability, management and operations, the Adviser’s Form ADV and a third party comparison report regarding the Funds’ performance and fees compared to benchmark indices and peer funds. The Trustees reviewed a memorandum from their independent legal counsel regarding the Trustees’ duties in considering the approval of advisory agreements. 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 experience and qualifications of the personnel providing such services (iv) 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, (v) the extent to which economies of scale will be realized by each Fund as it grows, and (vi) whether each Fund’s fee levels reflected the economies of scale to the benefit of the Fund’s shareholders.

 

The Trustees relied upon the advice of independent legal counsel and their own business judgment in determining the material factors to be considered in evaluating the Management Agreement and the weight to be given to each such factor. The Trustees’ conclusions were based on an evaluation of all the information provided and were not the result of any one factor. Moreover, each Trustee may have afforded different weights to the various factors in reaching conclusions with respect to the Management Agreement. Although not meant to be all-inclusive, the following discussion summarizes the factors considered and conclusions reached by the Trustees at the Meeting, including during an executive session with their independent legal counsel, in determining to renew the Management Agreement.

 

Performance, Fees and Expenses

 

Core Opportunity Fund

Regarding the RiverNorth Core Opportunity Fund (the “Core Opportunity Fund”), the Board reviewed the performance of the Fund’s Retail Class shares for the three months, one-year, three-years, five-years, ten-years and since inception periods. These returns were compared to the returns of mutual funds in FUSE Research Network, LLC’s (“FUSE”) Allocation-50% to 70% Equity fund universe and to a peer group of similar funds selected by FUSE. The Board observed that the performance varied across periods, lagging the peer group medians for the three-month, one-year, three-year and ten-year periods, but comparing favorably for the since inception period. It was noted that the Fund’s performance was the same as the peer group median for the five-year period. The Board further observed that the Fund lagged the universe medians for all periods other than the since inception period, during which the Fund outperformed the peer group median. It was noted that for the since inception period, the performance of the Fund’s Retail Class shares was ranked first out of the nine funds included in its peer group. The Board agreed that performance was more appropriately reviewed over a long-term timeline given the Fund’s strategy. The Board also reviewed the Fund’s performance relative to other funds managed by the Adviser. In consideration of each item noted, the Board agreed that it was satisfied with the Fund’s performance.

 

 

1Pursuant to relief granted by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) in light of the COVID-19 pandemic (the “Relief”) and a determination by the Board that reliance on the Relief was appropriate due to circumstances related to the current and potential effects of COVID-19, the Meeting was held telephonically.

RiverNorth Funds Board Considerations Regarding Approval of
Investment Advisory and Sub-Advisory Agreements

 

March 31, 2021 (Unaudited)

 

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 the relative peer group determined by FUSE and the Allocation-50% to 70% Equity fund universe. The Board noted that the Core Opportunity Fund’s Class Retail shares’ annual net expense ratio of 1.48% was higher than the peer group median and slightly higher than the peer group average. The Board also noted that the annual net expense ratio placed the Core Opportunity Fund in the lowest quartile for the universe. Differences in strategies as compared to both the funds in the peer group and universe were recalled, as well as the fact that certain peer funds did not have a similar share class as the Fund’s Retail Class shares.

 

The Board also noted that the annual management fee for the Fund was above the median paid by the peer funds, but within the range of the peers. The Board noted the differences in strategies between the Fund and the peer funds, highlighting the active management of the Fund’s portfolio. The Trustees also reviewed the Fund’s fees relative to other funds managed by the Adviser. The Board, including the Independent Trustees, determined that although fees were above the median relative to the Fund’s peers, the fees were reasonable given the unique investment characteristics of the Fund and the nature of the services provided by the Adviser.

 

Strategic Income Fund

Regarding the RiverNorth/DoubleLine Strategic Income Fund (the “Strategic Income Fund”), the Board reviewed the performance of the Fund’s Class I Shares for the three months, one-year, three-year, five-year and since inception periods. The Board noted that the Strategic Income Fund outperformed the median of FUSE’s Multisector Bond fund universe for the one-year, three-year, five-year and since inception periods, but underperformed the universe for three-month period. In comparison to the peer funds, the Fund outperformed the median for the since inception period and performed in line with the median for the one-, three- and five-year periods. The Board also reviewed the Fund’s performance relative to other funds managed by the Adviser. The Board concluded that the Fund’s overall performance was satisfactory.

 

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 the relative peer group determined by FUSE and the Multisector Bond fund universe. The Board noted that the Strategic Income Fund’s Class I shares annual net expense ratio was higher than the median of the peer group and universe, but in line with the peer group. The Board also noted that the annual management fee for the Fund was higher than the median of the peer group and Multisector Bond fund universe. The Trustees noted the fact that the active strategy of the Fund required the Adviser to pay part of the Fund’s management fee to DoubleLine as well as actively manage a portion of the Fund’s portfolio. The Board also reviewed the Fund’s fees relative to other funds managed by the Adviser. The Board, including the Independent Trustees, determined that the fees were reasonable given the nature of the Fund’s investment strategy, the capabilities of the Adviser and the Sub-Adviser, and the nature of the services provided to the Fund.

High Income Fund

Regarding the RiverNorth/Oaktree High Income Fund (the “High Income Fund”), the Board reviewed the performance of the Fund’s Class I shares for the three months, one-year, three-year, five year and since inception periods. The Board noted that the High Income Fund underperformed the median in FUSE’s High Yield Bond fund universe and the median of the peer group funds in all periods. The Board also reviewed the Fund’s performance relative to other funds managed by the Adviser. The Trustees acknowledged the fact that the Fund’s split strategy between closed-end funds (“CEFs”), and high-yield and senior loans differed from the funds in each group.

 

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 the relative peer group determined by FUSE and FUSE’s High Yield Bond fund universe. The Board noted that the High Income Fund’s Class I shares annual gross management fee and annual net expense ratio was higher than the median of the peer funds in both categories and was in the top quartile for the universe of funds as well. The Board recalled that most of the funds in FUSE’s High Yield Bond fund universe and peer group funds follow a simpler high yield strategy than that of the High Yield Fund and would lead to relatively lower fees. The Trustees also reviewed the Fund’s fees relative to other funds managed by the Adviser. After discussion, the Board, including the Independent Trustees, determined that the fees were adequate in comparison to the Fund’s peers, and the fees were reasonable given the nature of the Fund’s investment strategy, and the nature of the services to be provided to the Fund by the Adviser and Oaktree.

 

Nature, Extent and Quality of Services

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 each Fund’s investment objective and policies. The Board reviewed the Adviser’s Form ADV, which was previously provided to the Board and that provided details regarding the experience of each of the Adviser’s personnel. The Adviser also provided additional information regarding its experience managing other investment accounts and extensive experience with CEFs, noting the fact that RiverNorth was an industry leader in the area. Based on the foregoing information, the Board, including the Independent Trustees, concluded that the Adviser had provided quality services and could be expected to do so in the future for the Funds.

 

Profitability and Other Benefits

As to the cost of the services to be provided and to the profits to be realized by the Adviser, the Board reviewed the Adviser’s estimates of its profitability and its financial condition. The Board reviewed the Adviser’s financial statements and noted the Adviser’s financial condition was stable and that increased debt from recent business endeavors had been offset by increases in revenues for the Adviser. The Board acknowledged that the Adviser’s management fees were comparable to those charged to other mutual funds to which the Adviser provides advisory or sub-advisory services. The Board, including the Independent Trustees, determined that the Management Agreement, with respect to the Core Opportunity Fund, Strategic Income Fund and High Income Fund was not overly profitable to the Adviser and the financial condition of the Adviser was adequate.

RiverNorth Funds Board Considerations Regarding Approval of
Investment Advisory and Sub-Advisory Agreements

 

March 31, 2021 (Unaudited)

 

The Board noted that the Adviser has no affiliations with the Funds’ transfer agent, fund accountant, administrator, custodian, or distributor and therefore does not derive any benefits from the relationships these parties may have with the Trust. The Board also noted each Fund’s liquidity status and its ability to meet redemptions.

 

Based upon such information as they considered necessary to the exercise of their reasonable business judgment, the Trustees, including all of the Independent Trustees, concluded that it was in the best interests of each of the Funds to continue the Management Agreement with the Adviser for an additional one-year period.

 

Consideration of the Sub-Advisory Agreement with DoubleLine Capital, LP with respect to the Strategic Income Fund

At a meeting of the Board, held on November 11, 2020 and called expressly for that purpose, the Board, including the Independent Trustees, considered the renewal of the sub-advisory agreement (the “DoubleLine Agreement”) between the Adviser and DoubleLine Capital, LP (“DoubleLine” or the “Sub-Adviser”) related to the Strategic Income Fund.1

 

The Board received materials compiled by the Sub-Adviser and the Adviser, provided in support of the proposed renewal of the DoubleLine Agreement (“Renewal Materials”). The Board considered the renewal of the DoubleLine Agreement, noting that the Renewal Materials contained information compiled by DoubleLine and the Adviser, including a copy of the DoubleLine Agreement, the Sub-Adviser’s response to a questionnaire regarding its profitability, management and operations, a copy of the Sub-Adviser’s Form ADV and information regarding the performance of the Fund’s benchmark indices and peer funds. The Board considered the following factors, among others, in reaching its determination to renew the DoubleLine 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 experience and qualifications of the personnel providing such services, (iv) 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, (v) the extent to which economies of scale will be realized by the Strategic Income Fund as it grows, and (vi) whether the fee levels of the Strategic Income Fund reflected the economies of scale to the benefit of the Fund’s shareholders.

 

The Trustees relied upon the advice of independent legal counsel and their own business judgment in determining the material factors to be considered in evaluating the DoubleLine Agreement and the weight to be given to each such factor. The Trustees’ conclusions were based on an evaluation of all of the information provided and were not the result of any one factor. Moreover, each Trustee may have afforded different weight to the various factors in reaching conclusions with respect to the DoubleLine Agreement. Although not meant to be all-inclusive, the following discussion summarizes the material factors considered and conclusions reached by the Trustees in the executive session and at the Meeting in determining to renew the DoubleLine Agreement. The Board reviewed the performance of the Strategic Income Fund for the three months, one-year, three-year, five-year and since inception periods. The Board recalled its deliberations regarding the Strategic Income Fund’s performance while considering the renewal of the Management Agreement, acknowledging their satisfaction with the Fund’s performance. The Board also reviewed the performance of the portion of the Strategic Income Fund managed by DoubleLine relative to relevant securities indices, and to other accounts managed by DoubleLine. The Board, including the Independent Trustees, concluded that the performance was in line with expectations for the DoubleLine strategy.

RiverNorth Funds Board Considerations Regarding Approval of
Investment Advisory and Sub-Advisory Agreements

 

March 31, 2021 (Unaudited)

 

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 DoubleLine 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, given the fees that the Sub-Adviser charges other clients to manage similar strategies.

 

As to the nature, extent and quality of the services to be provided by DoubleLine, the Board considered that under the terms of the DoubleLine 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, deemed advisable and would furnish or arrange to be furnished a continuous investment program for the Fund consistent with the Fund’s investment objective and policies. The Board reviewed the Form ADV of DoubleLine, which provided details regarding the experience of the Sub-Adviser’s investment personnel. DoubleLine also provided additional information regarding its operations and experience managing other investment accounts. The Board noted that RiverNorth was satisfied with DoubleLine’s work with the Strategic Income Fund. Based on the foregoing information, the Board, including the Independent Trustees, concluded that DoubleLine had provided quality services and could be expected to continue to do so for the Strategic Income Fund.

 

As to the cost of the services to be provided and to the profits to be realized by the Sub-Adviser, the Board reviewed DoubleLine’s financial condition. The Board noted that the financial condition of DoubleLine was stable. The Board, including the Independent Trustees determined that the DoubleLine Agreement and the compensation to DoubleLine was reasonable and the financial condition of DoubleLine was adequate. The Board noted that DoubleLine has no affiliations with the Fund’s transfer agent, administrator, fund accountant, custodian, or distributor and therefore does not derive any benefits from the relationships these parties may have with the Trust.

 

Based upon such information as they considered necessary to the exercise of their reasonable business judgment, the Trustees, including all of the Independent Trustees, concluded that it was in the best interests of the Strategic Income Fund to continue the DoubleLine Agreement between the Adviser and DoubleLine for an additional one-year period.
