Management’s Discussion of Fund Performance (Unaudited)
RMB Fund
For the six months ended June 30, 2021, the RMB Fund, Class A shares (the “Fund”), returned +16.06% net of fees, outperforming the S&P 500® Index (the “Benchmark”), which returned +15.25% for the same period. The outperformance was driven by stock selection with a negligible impact from sector allocation. Positive performance in the Consumer Staples, Communication Services, Information Technology and Materials sectors more than offset negative contribution from the Consumer Discretionary and Health Care sectors.
The theme of the first half of 2021 was increased optimism around the pace of the economic recovery in the U.S., as significant progress was made on the nationwide rollout of COVID-19 vaccinations. The so called “reopening” of the economy continued, as more normal activity resumed, most notably in consumers’ desire to resume purchasing goods and services that were derailed during the pandemic. Interest rates rose substantially in the first quarter, but then fell in the second quarter, with the yield
on the 10-year U.S. Treasury ending down a little more than 50 basis points at 1.44% as of June 30. The bond market shrugged off a surge in inflation, believing the message from the Fed that inflation will prove to be temporary and the Fed’s accommodative stance will continue for the intermediate future. We continue to believe that the stock market has priced in an optimistic economic recovery. Valuations remain quite high by historical measures, although corporate earnings recovered nicely in the first half of 2021 and significant upward revisions for forward earnings estimates occurred over the past couple of quarters. First quarter earnings were particularly strong, as Wall Street estimates were slow to revise higher for improving prospects with revenue and earnings growth.
Subdued interest rates have provided strong fuel for the market to climb higher. Underlying the overall market indices, we’ve also seen significant outperformance in more value-oriented sectors such as Financials, Energy and Materials at the expense of last year’s much more highly-favored growth style. While it’s hard to say how much more this
style rotation has to go, it has created a performance headwind for the Fund. Macro market predictions are very difficult to make with any hopes of being consistently accurate, so we keep our efforts focused on bottom-up stock selection and portfolio optimization, and staying fully invested. We believe we have built a concentrated, yet diversified, portfolio of high-quality individual companies that can grow their earnings for years into the future, earn attractive returns on invested capital, and compound value for shareholders. No matter what happens with the current market cycle, we strongly believe the strategy positions us to outperform over the long run without taking undue risk.

Management’s Discussion of Fund Performance (Unaudited) (Continued)
RMB Mendon Financial Services Fund
For the six months ended June 30, 2021, the RMB Mendon Financial Services Fund, Class A shares (the “Fund”), returned +33.38% net of fees, compared to the NASDAQ Bank Index’s (the “Benchmark”) total return of +28.50% for the same period.
What a difference a year makes. At this time one year ago, there was a different presidential administration, no vaccine, and only small evidence of the massive amount of government stimulus to come. At the time, we argued that it was not another replay of the Global Financial Crisis (GFC), where the banks were the source of the problem, but rather this time banks would be part of the solution. This proved true, as community banks were much more efficient than their bigger brethren in their ability to help small business customers apply for and receive Paycheck Protection Program (“PPP”) loans. Where the larger banks relied on toll-free numbers and websites to facilitate PPP loan processing, smaller banks knew their customers and were especially adept at getting loan applications through the various bottlenecks.
We argued at the time that Financials would be one of the biggest beneficiaries of vaccines and a “return to normal,” and this hypothesis was realized during the first six months of 2021. Financials also benefitted from a rotation in the first half of the year from “growth” stocks to “value” stocks, as inflation expectations increased. The financial services sector is one of the few sectors that benefits from higher interest rates and thus higher inflation expectations. However, future inflation expectations waned towards the end of the period.
In addition to the geographic concentrations that have been a hallmark of the Fund for quite some time, the Fund adopted intentional thematic weightings that helped it outperform during the first half of the year. These weightings included exposure to banks with Small Business Administration (SBA) lending, embedded financial technology efforts, and proximity to manufacturing returning stateside.
The last thing to note when discussing the first half of 2021 is the return of mergers and acquisitions (M&A) to the sector after a particularly anemic 2020. The second quarter witnessed the resumption of whole
bank mergers, with 57 deals announced—the most since the fourth quarter of 2019 (the last full quarter prior to COVID). Not only does this return the quarter to a pre-COVID run-rate for M&A, but we think it is set to accelerate from here for several reasons. The first is certainly pent-up demand. Many deals were tabled during the COVID-19 crisis, as banks worried about their own books and did not want to take on any exogenous risks. Second, increasing multiples are attracting potential sellers’ attention. Importantly, there is a healthy gap between larger banks’ multiples vs. smaller banks’ multiples, with larger banks currently being awarded a premium. This means that the larger buyers have a currency advantage that could be appealing to would-be sellers. Challenges to the operating environment are also pushing some industry players that may lack scale to consider future partnerships. Some of these challenges include [the costs of?] technological investment, the potential for increased taxes and government regulations, and the constant pressure to drive growth. Lastly, there is still scarcity value for many franchises in specific geographies.

Management’s Discussion of Fund Performance (Unaudited) (Continued)
RMB International Fund
For the six-months ended June 30, 2021, the RMB International Fund, Class I shares (the “Fund”), returned +4.91%, net of fees, underperforming the MSCI EAFE Index (the “Benchmark”), which rose +8.83% as measured in U.S. dollars for the same period. The Fund’s underperformance was driven primarily by stock selection, while the impact of sector allocation was neutral. Stock selection was strongest in Financials, yet detracted in the Information Technology, Materials, and Industrials sectors. The Fund’s country allocation was underweighted in Asia/Pacific (ex-Japan) and Europe, while Japan was over-weighted through the first half of 2021. This resulted in a detraction
to the Fund’s return, as Japan underperformed the Benchmark through the first half of 2021. The Fund’s performance benefited from its underweighting in the Utilities sector, but sector allocation otherwise did not meaningfully impact the Fund’s performance.
The Fund maintained its overweight position in Japan through the first half of 2021, as we continue to believe the country’s valuation was attractive on the back of the ongoing corporate governance reform that supports our long-term investment case. We believe many of our underperforming companies are relatively late in their business recovery from the COVID-19 pandemic and have the
potential for positive outcomes in the second half of 2021. By region, Japan underperformed against the U.S. and European peers during the period due in part to the slow implementation of COVID-19 vaccination in the country, as well as the Japanese market being slightly more sensitive to economic cycles than the other two regions due to its exposure to Auto’s, Banking, and Industrials. However, given the rapid vaccination progress in the country, our expectation is that Japan’s macro economy, as well as the equity market, will see a solid recovery in the second half of 2021, similar to the U.S. and then Europe, whose markets also recovered with the vaccination roll outs.

Management’s Discussion of Fund Performance (Unaudited) (Continued)
RMB Japan Fund
For the six months ended June 30, 2021, the RMB Japan Fund, Class I shares (the “Fund”), returned -1.87% net of fees, lagging the MSCI Japan Index’s (the “Benchmark”) return of +1.28%, as measured in U.S. dollars for the same period. During the period, the Fund’s underperformance was attributable to both unfavorable sector allocation and stock selection.
At the sector allocation level, being overweight in Industrials and underweight in Health Care contributed positively to the Fund’s performance, while being underweight in Financials and zero exposure to Energy had a negative impact on the Fund’s performance. Stock selection was strongest in the Consumer Staples and Industrials sectors, thanks to our stock selection in the Food and
Beverage and Capital Goods industries. On the other hand, Information Technology and Health Care were main detractors from the Fund’s performance, largely due to our less favorable stock selection in Software and Pharmaceuticals.
We believe the weak performance of Japanese equities relative to their developed market peers for the first six months is mainly attributable to the slow rollout of the COVID-19 vaccine in the country. Lack of tools to fight the virus led to another round of restrictions that limited economic recovery in the country, in stark contrast to many of its peers in the developed world. That said, we also note that Japan’s daily COVID-19 cases remain far below those of the U.S. after adjusting for population, even without the vaccine. Additionally, the distribution of the vaccine is improving, as the country’s
vaccine penetration rate has accelerated meaningfully from a mere 1% in May to close to 33% of the total population receiving at least one dose by the end of the second quarter. With this rapid improvement in the pace of the vaccine rollout, combined with the fact that the number of confirmed cases is already at low levels in the country, we believe that Japan has a great chance to quickly catch up with the rest of the developed world going forward. Further, we note that the valuation gap between Japan’s equity market and the rest of its developed market peers (in particular, Europe) has recently widened back to historically high levels. In our view, the current circumstances surrounding Japan provide a strong basis for the country’s equity market to start outperforming its peers in the months to come.

Management’s Discussion of Fund Performance (Unaudited) (Continued)
RMB Small Cap Fund
For the six months ended June 30, 2021, the RMB Small Cap Fund, Class I shares (the “Fund”), modestly underperformed the Russell 2000® Index (the “Benchmark”), returning +15.87% (net of fees), compared with the Benchmark return of +17.54% for the same period.
Stock selection within the Health Care, Real Estate Investment Trusts, and Financials sectors contributed most significantly to the Fund’s returns for the period. Stock selection in Consumer Discretionary, Information Technology and Communication Services detracted from the Fund’s relative performance. More specifically, non-ownership of “meme” stocks negatively impacted those sectors. For example, non-ownership of AMC Entertainment Holdings Inc. (AMC) within Communication Services and GameStop Corp. (GME) in Consumer Discretionary
collectively detracted 100 basis points from the Fund’s returns compared to the Benchmark. We expect the headwinds from non-ownership of meme stocks to abate in the second half of the year.
We remain cautiously optimistic for strong equity returns throughout the rest of the year. We suspect the heavy lifting in terms of higher market valuations is shifting from the excess liquidity provided by the Federal Reserve to company specific capital allocation. As the impact from excess liquidity moderates from excessive to neutral, dispersion should continue to increase, and higher dispersion is good for active managers who demonstrate stock-picking skill.
As always, we seek to invest in companies that demonstrate high managerial skill in capital allocation, which we believe creates value for customers, employees, communities, and shareholders.

We remain cautiously optimistic for strong equity returns throughout the rest of the year. We suspect the heavy lifting in terms of higher market valuations is shifting from the excess liquidity provided by the Federal Reserve to company specific capital allocation. As the impact from excess liquidity moderates from excessive to neutral, dispersion should continue to increase, and higher dispersion is good for active managers who demonstrate stock-picking skill.
As always, we seek to invest in companies that demonstrate high managerial skill in capital allocation, which we believe creates value for customers, employees, communities, and shareholders.
Glossary of Terms:
Dispersion: A statistical term that describes the size of the distribution of values expected for a particular variable and can be measured by several different statistics, such as range, variance, and standard deviation. In finance and investing, dispersion usually refers to the range of possible returns on an investment. It can also be used to measure the risk inherent in a particular security or investment portfolio.

Fund Information (Unaudited)
About Fund Performance
Performance information reflects past performance and does not guarantee future results. Current performance of each of the RMB Fund, RMB Mendon Financial Services Fund, RMB International Fund, RMB Japan Fund, RMB Small Cap Fund, and RMB SMID Cap Fund (each, a “Fund” and collectively, the “Funds”) may be lower or higher than performance data quoted. Refer to www.rmbfunds.com to obtain performance data current to the most recent quarter end. Performance results do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on Fund distributions or the redemption of Fund shares. Fund performance figures shown in each of the performance tables assume reinvestment of all distributions, if any, at net asset value (“NAV”) on the ex-dividend dates. Performance figures shown for the S&P 500® Index Total Return, the Russell 3000® Index Total Return (the RMB Fund's Benchmarks), and the NASDAQ Bank Index Total Return (the RMB Mendon Financial Services Fund's Benchmark) each reflect reinvestment of dividends in the Benchmark. Performance figures shown for other Benchmarks do not reflect the reinvestment of dividends in the Benchmark. Investment return and principal value of shares will fluctuate so that shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost.
Fund Risks
Mutual fund investing involves risk; loss of principal is possible. The RMB Fund invests in larger, more established companies, which may not respond as quickly to competitive challenges or have growth rates as high as those of smaller companies during periods of economic expansion.
The RMB Mendon Financial Services Fund is a sector fund. These types of funds may be susceptible to factors affecting the sector in which they invest (financial services), and the net asset values of these funds may fluctuate more than a fund that invests in a wider range of sectors. Because the Fund concentrates its investments in one sector of the economy, investors should consider the risk that the Fund may experience greater volatility than funds that invest across several sectors. The Fund utilizes derivative instruments, including options, and short sales from time to time. These investments can be volatile and involve various types and degrees of risks, including unlimited losses. Depending upon the characteristics of particular derivatives, they can suddenly become illiquid.
The RMB International Fund and RMB Japan Fund invest in foreign securities which may be more volatile than U.S. securities and are also subject to risks of currency exchange rate fluctuation, illiquidity, inflation, and political instability. The RMB Small Cap Fund and the RMB SMID Cap Fund invest primarily in companies with small and small-to-medium market capitalizations, respectively. Securities of companies with small-to-medium market capitalizations are often more volatile, less liquid and more susceptible to market pressures than securities of larger issuers. Each Fund’s prospectus contains more information about these and other risks.
Market Indexes
The following are definitions for indexes used in Management’s Discussion of each Fund’s performance and the accompanying
performance summary tables. These indexes are unmanaged and do not reflect the payment of transaction costs and advisory and other fees associated with an investment in the Funds. The securities that comprise these indexes may differ substantially from the securities in the Funds’ portfolios. A Fund’s specific investment strategy and restrictions may exclude certain investments that reflect the makeup of its benchmark index. It is not possible to invest directly in an index. Each index named is not the only index which may be used to characterize performance of a specific Fund and other indexes may portray different comparative performance.
S&P 500® Index Total Return, is a capital weighted, unmanaged index that represents the aggregate market value of the common equity of 500 stocks primarily traded on the New York Stock Exchange, and includes the reinvestment of dividends in the index.
NASDAQ Bank Index Total Return, contains securities of NASDAQ-listed companies classified according to the Industry Classification Benchmark as banks, and includes the reinvestment of dividends in the index. These banks provide a broad range of financial services, including retail banking, loans and money transmissions.

Notes to Financial Statements (Unaudited) 
Organization
RMB Investors Trust (the “Trust”), is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”) as an open-end management investment company. The Trust currently consists of six series: RMB Fund, RMB Mendon Financial Services Fund, RMB International Fund, RMB Japan Fund, RMB Small Cap Fund, and RMB SMID Cap Fund (each, a “Fund” and collectively, the “Funds”). RMB Capital Management, LLC (“RMB” or the “Adviser”) serves as the investment adviser to the Funds. Mendon Capital Advisors Corp. (the “Sub-Adviser”) serves as sub-adviser to the RMB Mendon Financial Services Fund.
Each Fund seeks capital appreciation, except RMB International Fund and RMB Japan Fund which seek long-term capital appreciation.
RMB Fund and RMB Mendon Financial Services Fund offer Class A, Class C, and Class I shares. RMB International Fund, RMB Japan Fund, RMB Small Cap Fund and RMB SMID Cap Fund offer Class I shares.
Class A shares incur a maximum initial sales charge of 5.00% and an annual distribution and service fee of 0.25%.
Class C shares are subject to an annual distribution and shareholder service fee of 1.00%. In addition, Class C shares are subject to a 1.00% contingent deferred sales charge (CDSC) if redeemed within one year after purchase.
Class I shares have no initial sales charge and bear no annual distribution and service fee.
Prior to May 1, 2018, RMB Fund and RMB Mendon Financial Services Fund charged a 2.00% short-term redemption fee on proceeds from shares redeemed (either by selling or exchange into another Fund) within 30 days after purchase.
1. Significant Accounting Policies
Each Fund is considered an investment company under United States of America Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“U.S. GAAP”) and accordingly follows the investment company accounting and reporting guidance of the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Accounting Standard Codification Topic 946 Financial Services — Investment Companies.
Investment Valuation
Portfolio securities and any other Fund assets shall be valued each day on which the New York Stock Exchange is open for business, using readily available market quotations at such times as are established in the Trust’s registration statement. The valuation methods below are listed in order of priority; the highest priority shall be employed when available. If none of the listed valuation methods are available, portfolio securities shall be fair valued by RMB’s Valuation Committee in conformity with the fair valuation provisions below.
Stocks
Equity Securities, Warrants, Exchange-Traded Funds (“ETFs”), and American Depository Receipts (“ADRs”) Listed on a U.S.
Exchange. The market value shall be the last reported sale price on the market on which the security primarily trades. If there is no such last sale reported, securities will be valued at the mean between the closing bid and closing asked prices on the primary market.
Equity Securities on NASDAQ. The market value shall be the NASDAQ Official Closing Price or “NOCP.” The NOCP is determined by NASDAQ to be the last reported sale price, unless the last sale price is above or below both the last reported bid and asked prices. If the last reported bid and asked prices are above the last sale price, the last reported bid is used; conversely, if the last reported bid and asked prices are below the last sale price, the last reported asked price will serve as the NOCP. If no last sales price is reported, the securities will be valued at the mean between the closing bid and closing asked prices on the market on which the security primarily trades.
Equity Securities traded on the Over-The-Counter (“OTC”) Market. The market value shall be the last reported sale in the OTC market on which the security primarily trades, such as the OTC Bulletin Board, Pink OTC Markets, Inc., or other recognized OTC market. If no last sale is reported, the securities will be valued at the mean between the closing bid and the closing asked price on the primary market.
Procedures to Address After-Market Events. If a significant event occurs in a foreign market on which a security primarily trades after the security’s closing price was established on the foreign exchange but before the Fund calculates its NAV, and causing the foreign security’s valuation price to no longer reflect actual value, such security’s fair value shall be determined through the use of an independent pricing service’s systematic fair value pricing model. When systematic fair value pricing is employed, the value of the portfolio security used to calculate the Funds’ NAV may differ from quoted or official closing prices. Due to the subjective and variable nature of all fair value pricing, it is possible that the value determined for a particular security may be materially different from the value realized upon its sale. It is possible that market timers may attempt to buy or sell Fund shares to profit from price movements in foreign markets that are not yet reflected in a Fund’s NAV. Such trades may have the effect of reducing the value of existing shareholders’ investments. The Funds’ use of systematic fair value pricing is designed to more accurately reflect the current market value of a portfolio security and to minimize the possibilities for time-zone arbitrage; however, the Funds’ process may not be effective in preventing short-term NAV arbitrage trading.
Bonds
Long-Term Debt Securities. Debt securities, including bonds, notes, debentures, certificates of deposit, commercial paper, bankers’ acceptances and obligations of domestic and foreign banks, with remaining maturities of more than sixty (60) calendar days for which reliable market quotations are readily available, shall be valued at the closing price. In the absence of closing prices, such securities will be valued at the mean between the closing bid and closing asked prices.

            NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Notes to Financial Statements (Unaudited) (Continued) 
Short-Term Debt Securities. Debt securities with a remaining maturity of sixty (60) days or less are generally valued at amortized cost, subject to Board oversight.
Futures and Option contracts
Options Listed on a National Securities Exchange. Exchange traded options shall be valued at the composite mean between the closing bid and closing asked price, as provided by ICE.

Any options expiring within 30 days that are “out of the money” and for which there is no bid or asked price on the primary exchange, shall be valued at zero ($0.00). For the avoidance of doubt, the absence of a bid or asked price in such circumstance shall not result in treating the price as stale.
Exchange Traded Futures Contracts and Options on Futures Contracts. The market value of these instruments shall be the final settlement price or official closing price on the principal exchange on which the instrument is traded. If there is no such price, the value shall be the mean between the closing bid and the closing asked prices on the principal exchange.
Shares Valuation
The NAV per share of each share class of each Fund is calculated by dividing the net assets (total assets, minus all liabilities including accrued expenses) of the share class by the total number of shares outstanding of the share class, rounded to the nearest cent. The Funds’ shares will not be priced on the days on which the NYSE is closed for trading.
Foreign Currency Translation
Values of investments, receivables and payables denominated in foreign currencies are converted into U.S. dollars using a spot market rate of exchange each day. Purchases and sales of investments and dividend and interest income are translated to U.S. dollars using a spot market rate of exchange prevailing on the dates of such transactions. Foreign currency exchange rates shall be provided by an independent pricing service, bank, or broker-dealer. The portion of security gains and losses resulting from changes in foreign exchange rates are included with net realized and unrealized gain or loss from investments, as appropriate, for both financial reporting and tax purposes. The Funds bear the risk of changes in the foreign currency exchange rates and the impact on the value of assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currency. The Funds also bear the risk of a counterparty failing to fulfill its obligation under a foreign currency contract. Investments in securities of foreign companies involve additional risks including: less available public information about the issuers of securities; less stringent regulatory standards; lack of uniform accounting, auditing and financial reporting standards; and country risks including less liquidity, high inflation rates and political and economic instability. The risks of foreign investments are typically greater in emerging and less-developed markets.
Multiple Class Allocations
Each class of shares of a Fund has equal rights as to earnings and assets, except that each class bears different distribution
and shareholder servicing expenses. Each class of shares has exclusive voting rights with respect to matters that affect just that class. Income, expenses (other than expenses attributable to a specific class) and realized and unrealized gains or losses on investments are allocated to each class of shares based on its relative net assets.
Accounting for Portfolio Transactions
The Funds account for purchases and sales of portfolio securities as of each security’s trade date. The Funds determine realized gains and losses based on identified cost (the same basis used for federal income tax purposes). When the Funds earn dividends, they record the income on the ex-dividend date, minus any foreign taxes. The Funds record interest income on an accrual basis. Premiums and discounts on the purchase of securities are amortized/accreted using the effective yield 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.
Use of Management Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make certain estimates and assumptions in computing net asset value and preparing the financial statements, so the actual cash amounts received or paid for a Fund’s assets, liabilities, income, and other items may ultimately differ from what is shown here.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
Rule 18f-4
On October 28, 2020, the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) adopted new regulations governing the use of derivatives by registered investment companies (“Rule 18f-4”). The Funds will be required to implement and comply with Rule 18f-4 by August 19, 2022. Once implemented, Rule 18f-4 will impose limits on the amount of derivatives a fund can enter into, eliminate the asset segregation framework currently used by funds to comply with Section 18 of the 1940 Act, treat derivatives as senior securities and require funds whose use of derivatives is more than a limited specified exposure amount to establish and maintain a comprehensive derivatives risk management program and appoint a derivatives risk manager.
Rule 2a-5
In December 2020, the SEC adopted a new rule providing a framework for fund valuation practices (“Rule 2a-5”). Rule 2a-5 establishes requirements for determining fair value in good faith for purposes of the 1940 Act. Rule 2a-5 will permit fund boards to designate certain parties to perform fair value determinations, subject to board oversight and certain other conditions. Rule 2a-5 also defines when market quotations are “readily available” for purposes of the 1940 Act and the threshold for determining whether a fund must fair value a security. In connection with Rule 2a-5, the SEC also adopted related recordkeeping requirements and is rescinding

previously issued guidance, including with respect to the role of a board in determining fair value and the accounting and auditing of fund investments. The Funds will be required to comply with the rules by September 8, 2022. Management is currently assessing the potential impact of the new rules on the Funds’ financial statements.
2. Adviser Fees
RMB serves as the investment adviser to the Funds. The Adviser is entitled to a monthly management fee at an annual rate equal to the following percentages of the average daily net assets of each Fund:
RMB Fund
0.60%
RMB Mendon Financial Services Fund
0.75%
RMB International Fund
0.75%
RMB Japan Fund
0.90%
RMB Small Cap Fund
0.85%
RMB SMID Cap Fund
0.70%
The Adviser, not the Funds, pays the Sub-Adviser for services with respect to the RMB Mendon Financial Services Fund. Effective May 1, 2020, the annual advisory fees for RMB Small Cap Fund and RMB SMID Cap Fund were reduced by 0.15% to the amounts shown above.
3. Distribution Fees and Commissions
Foreside Fund Services, LLC (the “Distributor”) serves as principal underwriter to the Funds pursuant to a distribution agreement dated May 31, 2017. The Distributor acts as principal underwriter of each Fund’s shares. The RMB Fund and RMB Mendon Financial Services Fund have adopted distribution plans under Rule 12b-1 of the 1940 Act, to reimburse the Distributor for services provided for distributing Class A and Class C shares of the Funds. The following Funds pay the Distributor distribution and shareholder service fees from the assets of the share classes, and in the amounts, listed below:
Distribution Fees:
Class A
Class C
RMB Fund

4. Offering Price
For Class A shares, the offering price as of June 30, 2021, including the maximum 5% sales charge was $38.03 and $55.20 for RMB Fund and RMB Mendon Financial Services Fund, respectively. The redemption price is NAV. Class C shares are offered at NAV without the imposition of an initial sales
charge and the redemption price is NAV, subject to any applicable CDSC. Class I shares are offered at NAV without the imposition of an initial sales charge or a CDSC.
5. Expenses
Expenses directly charged or attributable to any Fund will be paid from the assets of that Fund. Generally, expenses of the Trust will be allocated among and charged to the assets of each series on a basis that the Trustees deem fair and equitable, which may be based on the relative assets of each series or the nature of the services performed and relative applicability to each series. Fund expenses that are not class specific are allocated to each class based on relative net assets. Differences in class-level expenses may result in payment of different per share dividends by class.
The Adviser adopted a contractual Expense Limitation Agreement (the “Agreement”) for the Funds. Under the Agreement, the Adviser contractually limits certain operating expenses (including advisory, distribution and service fees, among others) of the following Funds and share classes to the rates below based on average daily net assets by waiving its advisory fees and reimbursing Fund operating expenses.
Class A
Class C
Class I
RMB Fund

RMB International Fund
1.15%
RMB Japan Fund
1.30%
RMB Small Cap Fund
0.95%
RMB SMID Cap Fund
0.80%
Effective May 1, 2020, the annual expense limitations for RMB Small Cap Fund and RMB SMID Cap Fund were reduced by 0.15% to the amounts shown above.
In accordance with the Agreement, the Adviser will not reimburse a Fund for certain expenses, such as interest, taxes, brokerage commissions, dealer spreads and other transaction costs, capitalized expenditures, acquired fund fees and expenses, short sale dividends, extraordinary expenses not incurred in the ordinary course of the Fund’s business (e.g., litigation, indemnification) and any other costs and expenses approved by the Board. For the year ended December 31, 2020, there were extraordinary expenses of $46,906 allocated to the RMB Mendon Financial Services Fund related to the reorganization (See Note 15).
The Agreement will remain in effect through April 30, 2022 and may be continued from year to year thereafter, if agreed by all parties to the Agreement. While in effect the Agreement may be terminated with respect to a Fund by agreement of RMB and the Funds’ Board of Trustees and shall terminate automatically upon the termination of the Fund’s Advisory Agreement.
Amounts waived or reimbursed by the Adviser with respect to a Fund may be recouped for a period of three years from the date an amount was waived or reimbursed to the extent the Fund’s actual fees and expenses for a fiscal period, including recoupments paid to the Adviser, are less than the Fund’s expense limitation both at

8. Distributions and Taxes
Each Fund’s dividends from net investment income, if any exist, are generally declared and paid at least annually. Distributions of net realized gains, if any, are declared and paid at least annually for the Funds. All short-term capital gains are included in ordinary income for tax purposes.
The Funds record distributions on the ex-dividend date. On occasion, a Fund may make reclassifications among some of its capital accounts. This could have the effect of changing the nature of certain distributions that have already been made, which could have tax implications for shareholders. A Fund would only make reclassifications consistent with federal tax regulations.
It is each Fund’s intention to continue to qualify as a regulated investment company by complying with the requirements of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, applicable to regulated investment companies and by distributing substantially all of its earnings to its shareholders. Therefore, no federal income tax provision has been made. Certain Funds may utilize earnings and profits on redemption of shares as part of the dividends paid deduction.
The Funds recognize the tax benefits of uncertain tax positions only where the position is “more likely than not” to be sustained assuming examination by tax authorities.
Management has analyzed the Funds’ tax positions, and has concluded that no liability for unrecognized tax benefits should be recorded related to uncertain tax positions taken on returns filed for open tax years (2018 − 2020), or expected to be taken in the Funds’ 2021 tax returns. The Funds are not aware of any tax positions for which it is reasonably possible that the total amounts of unrecognized tax benefits will change materially in the next six months.
Income distributions and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance with income tax regulations, which may differ from generally accepted accounting principles. The character of distributions paid on a tax basis during 2020 and 2019 are as follows:

Includes $32,247,297 of short-term and $7,330,548 of long-term capital losses acquired from the Fund's merger with RMB Mendon Financial Long/Short Fund on June 19, 2020. Per the IRS, use of these losses is limited to $204,496 per year.
Under the Regulated Investment Company Modernization Act of 2010 (the “Act”), net capital losses recognized after December 31, 2010, may be carried forward indefinitely, and their character is retained as short-term and/or long-term losses. Under the law in effect prior to the Act, pre-enactment net capital losses were carried forward for eight years and treated as short-term losses. As a transition rule, the Act requires that post-enactment net capital losses be used before pre-enactment net capital losses.

9. Disclosure of Certain Commitments and Contingencies
Under the Funds’ organizational documents, officers and trustees of the Trust are indemnified against certain liabilities arising out of the performance of their duties to the Funds. In addition, in the normal course of business, the Funds enter into contracts that provide general indemnifications to other parties. The Funds’ maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Funds that have not yet occurred. However, the Funds have not had prior claims or losses pursuant to these contracts and based on experience expect the risk of loss to be remote.
10. Transactions with Affiliated Securities
During the period ended June 30, 2021, the Funds held no affiliated securities. An affiliated security is a security in which the Fund has ownership of at least 5% of the outstanding voting securities.
11. Restricted Securities
Except the Japan Fund, the Funds may not invest more than 15% of net assets in securities subject to legal or contractual restrictions on resale, including Rule 144A securities (“restricted securities”), that are deemed illiquid. The Japan Fund may not invest more than 15% of its net assets in restricted securities (both liquid and illiquid). At June 30, 2021, the Funds held no restricted securities.
12. Fund Risks
Each of the Funds is subject to market risk, equity securities risk, management risk, and other risks. Market risk is the risk that the price of a security held by a Fund may decline, sometimes rapidly or unpredictably, due to changing economic, political or market conditions that are not specifically related to the issuer of the security. Equity securities risk is the risk that the price of an equity security held by a Fund may decline due
to factors related to the issuer of the security including the sector or industry in which it operates. Equity securities may be disproportionately affected by these risks because they are subordinated to preferred stock, bonds, and other debt instruments in the issuer’s capital structure. Equity securities have historically experienced more volatility in their returns than debt securities. Management risk is the risk that investment decisions employed by the Adviser or Sub-Adviser will not produce the intended results.
RMB Mendon Financial Services Fund may be disproportionately affected by events affecting the Financial Services sector, which may include changes in interest rates, the rate of corporate and consumer debt defaults, the availability and cost of borrowing and raising capital, reduced credit market liquidity, regulatory changes, price competition, and general economic and market conditions.
Also, changing regulation of Financial Services companies may adversely or positively affect companies in which the Funds invest.
In addition, each Fund is subject to small- and mid-capitalization companies risk, and each Fund except the RMB Fund, RMB Small Cap Fund, and RMB SMID Cap Fund is subject to micro capitalization companies risk.
Micro cap companies (companies with a market capitalization of less than $300 million) may be less financially secure, more volatile and have lower trading volumes than large-, mid- or small-capitalization companies.
Small- and mid-capitalization companies may have greater price volatility than, and be less liquid than, large-capitalization companies.
In addition, the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic has resulted in, and may continue to result in, significant global economic and societal disruption and market volatility due to disruptions in market access, resource availability, facilities operations, decreased demand, and supply
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

chain disruption, among others. Such disruptions may be caused or exacerbated by quarantines and travel restrictions, workforce displacement and loss in human and other resources. The uncertainty surrounding the magnitude, duration, reach, costs and effects of the global pandemic, or other infectious illness outbreaks, epidemics or pandemics that may arise in the future, as well as actions that have been or could be taken by governmental authorities or other third parties, could adversely affect the economies of many nations or the entire global economy, individual issuers and capital markets in ways that cannot necessarily be foreseen. The disruptions caused by COVID-19 or other infectious illness outbreaks, epidemics or pandemics could prevent a Fund from executing advantageous investment decisions in a timely manner and negatively impact a Fund’s ability to achieve its investment objective. Any such event(s) could have a significant adverse impact on the value and risk profile of the Funds. The duration of the COVID-19 outbreak and its effects cannot be determined with certainty.
These risks, and other risks applicable to the Funds, are further described in the Funds’ Prospectus and Statement of Additional Information.
13. Fair Value Measurements
U.S. GAAP defines fair value as the price that would be received in the sale of an asset or that would be paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. Various inputs are used in determining the fair value of a Fund’s investments, other assets, and liabilities. These inputs are classified into one of three broad levels that comprise the fair value hierarchy. The lowest level for any significant input used in determining the fair value of an investment, other asset, or liability determines the classification of that asset or liability in the hierarchy. The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are as follows:
Level 1 — Prices are determined using unadjusted exchange-traded prices in active markets for identical securities. This technique is used for exchange-traded domestic common and preferred equities and certain options.
Level 2 — Prices are determined using significant observable inputs. “Observable inputs” reflect the assumptions that market participants would use in valuing an asset or liability based on market data obtained from independent sources. Observable inputs may include quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds and credit risk. Prices for securities valued using these techniques are received from independent pricing vendors and are based on an evaluation of the inputs described. These techniques are used for certain domestic preferred equities, unlisted rights and warrants and certain options.
Level 3 — Prices are determined using significant unobservable inputs. In situations where quoted prices or observable inputs are unavailable, such as when there is little or no market activity for an investment, unobservable inputs may be used. Unobservable inputs reflect RMB’s Valuation Committee’s own assumptions about the factors that market participants would use in pricing an investment and are based on the best information available. These inputs include, but are not limited to, the cost of the security at the date of purchase; fundamental analytical data relating to the issuer of the security, the type of security and relevant financial statements; special reports, if any, prepared by qualified analysts; and the nature and duration of restrictions, if any, on disposition of the security. Securities using this technique are generally thinly traded or privately placed, and may be valued using broker quotes, which may not only use observable or unobservable inputs but may also include the use of brokers’ own judgments about the assumptions that market participants would use.
The following table provides the fair value measurements of applicable Fund assets by security class and fair value hierarchy level as of June 30, 2021. The level assigned to the securities valuations may not be an indication of the risk or liquidity associated with investing in those securities. Because of the inherent uncertainties of valuation, the values reflected in the financial statements may materially differ from the value received upon actual sale of those investments.

15.   Fund Reorganizations
As of close of business on June 19, 2020, pursuant to an Agreement and Plan of Reorganization previously approved by the Trust’s Board of Trustees, all of the assets and liabilities of the RMB Mendon Financial Long/Short Fund were transferred to the RMB Mendon Financial Services Fund (the "Acquiring Fund") in exchange for shares of the Acquiring Fund (the "Reorganization"). The Reorganization was a tax-free Reorganization for federal income tax purposes. For financial reporting purposes, the Acquiring Fund was deemed to be the accounting survivor and as a result, the financial statements and financial highlights do not reflect the operations of the
Target Fund. Information with respect to the net assets and other relevant operating data for the Target Fund on the Reorganization date is included below:

Since the combined investment portfolios have been managed as a single integrated portfolio from the time the Reorganization was completed, it is not practical to separate the amounts of revenue and earnings of the Target Fund that have been included in the Acquiring Fund’s statements of operations since June 19, 2020.

Understanding Your Fund Expenses
As a shareholder of the Funds you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including sales charges (loads); and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees, distribution and/or service 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 and held for the entire period January 1, 2021 to June 30, 2021.
Actual Expenses
The first section of the table below provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in these columns, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid during 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 under the heading entitled “Actual Expenses Paid During Period” that corresponds to your Fund and share class in order to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.
Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes
The second section 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 the Fund’s actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Fund with the costs of investing in other mutual funds. To do so, compare the amount under the heading entitled “Hypothetical Expenses Paid During Period” that corresponds to your Fund and share class with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds.
Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transactional costs, such as sales charges (loads). Therefore, the hypothetical section of the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you compare the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transactional costs were included, your costs would have been higher.

Board of Trustees Evaluation and Approval of Investment
Advisory and Sub-Advisory Agreements
RMB Investors Trust (the “Trust”) has an Investment Advisory Agreement (the “Advisory Agreement”) with RMB Capital Management, LLC (“RMB”) pursuant to which RMB manages the series of the Trust. The series of the Trust are: RMB Fund, RMB Mendon Financial Services Fund, RMB International Fund, RMB Japan Fund, RMB Small Cap Fund (formerly IronBridge Small Cap Fund), and RMB SMID Cap Fund (formerly IronBridge SMID Cap Fund) (each, a “Fund,” and together, the “Funds”). The RMB Mendon Financial Services Fund is referred to herein as the “Mendon Fund.” RMB has a sub-advisory agreement (“Sub-Advisory Agreement” and, together with the Advisory Agreement, the “Agreements”) with Mendon Capital Advisors Corp. (“Mendon”) pursuant to which Mendon serves as the sub-adviser to the Mendon Fund.
The Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”) requires that the continuance of the Agreements be approved annually by both the Board of Trustees (the “Board”) and by a majority of the trustees who are not “interested persons” ​(as defined in the 1940 Act) of the Trust (the “Independent Trustees”), voting separately. All of the Trustees of the Trust are Independent Trustees.
The continuance of the Advisory Agreement, as it relates to the Funds, and of the Sub-Advisory Agreement, as it relates to the Mendon Fund, was most recently considered and approved for a period through July 1, 2021 at a meeting of the Board called for that purpose held on June 3, 2021.
The Board determined that the terms of each Agreement are fair and reasonable and approved the continuance of each of the Agreements, as applicable, for each of the Funds.
At its May 13, 2021 and June 3, 2021 meetings, the Trustees discussed the continuance of the Agreements for the Funds. At each meeting, the Board received and considered materials relating to, among other matters, the investment and management services provided by RMB and Mendon. The Board also considered matters bearing on the Agreements at its various meetings throughout the year, meets at least quarterly with the Funds’ portfolio managers and receives regular reports from RMB on the performance of the Funds.
In evaluating the Agreements, the Board received and reviewed information provided by RMB and Mendon in response to written requests from the Independent Trustees and their independent legal counsel, including without limitation information regarding RMB, Mendon, their affiliates and personnel, operations and financial condition. The Independent Trustees discussed with representatives of RMB and Mendon (including the portfolio managers of the Funds associated with those firms) the operations of the Funds and the capabilities of RMB and Mendon to provide advisory services to the Funds and, in the case of RMB, to supervise Mendon in its provision of sub-advisory services to the Mendon Fund.
Among other written and oral information, the Board requested and was provided information regarding:

the investment performance of each Fund and of indepen­dently selected peer groups of funds and of the Funds’ performance benchmarks over various time periods;

the fees and investment performance of private funds and accounts managed by RMB with investment strategies similar to the investment strategies of the Funds;

each Fund’s advisory fees and other expenses, including information comparing the Fund’s fees and expenses to those of peer groups of funds and information about any applicable expense limitations and fee breakpoints;

the fees charged by RMB for investment advisory services, as well as other compensation received by RMB and its affiliates;

the fees paid to Mendon by RMB;

the expense cap arrangements;

the total operating expenses of the Funds and comparison of current expenses to the previous year’s expenses;

comparisons of the investment performance, fees and total expenses of the Funds to mutual funds with similar objec­tives and strategies managed by other investment advisers prepared by Morningstar, Inc. (“Morningstar”), an inde­pendent provider of investment company data;

investment management staffing and the experience of the investment advisory and other personnel of RMB and Mendon;

the historical quality of the services provided by RMB and Mendon;

financial statements and other information regarding the financial condition and prospects of RMB and Mendon; and

the profitability to RMB in managing the Funds and the methodology in allocating expenses to the management of the Funds.
Throughout the process, the Board had numerous opportunities to ask questions of and request additional materials from RMB and Mendon. During each meeting at which the Board considered the Agreements, it was advised by and met, as necessary, in executive session with its independent legal counsel.
In considering the continuance of the Agreements, the Board reviewed and analyzed various factors that it determined were relevant, none of which by itself was considered dispositive. The material factors and conclusions that formed the basis for the determination of the Board and Independent Trustees to approve the Agreements are discussed below:

            Board of Trustees Evaluation and Approval of InvestmentAdvisory and Sub-Advisory Agreements

Board of Trustees Evaluation and Approval of Investment
Advisory and Sub-Advisory Agreements (Continued) 
Approval of the Agreements
1. Nature, Quality and Extent of Services.   The Board considered the nature, quality and extent of advisory, administrative and shareholder services provided by RMB, including the portfolio management of the Funds and supervision of Mendon for the Mendon Fund, supervision of operations of all Funds and compliance and regulatory filings for the Funds and disclosures to Fund shareholders, general oversight of Mendon and other service providers, coordination of Fund marketing initiatives, assisting the Independent Trustees in their capacity as trustees, and other services.
With regard to Mendon, the Board considered the nature, quality and extent of the services provided by Mendon, particularly portfolio management, compliance and performance of the Mendon Fund.
The Board also considered information on RMB and Mendon, such as: financial condition; investment professionals’ experience; reputation, financial strength, regulatory history and resources; approach to retention and compensation of investment and other personnel; and management structure and intentions with respect to the management of the Funds.
The Board concluded that the nature, quality and extent of the services provided by RMB and Mendon to the Funds under the Agreements were appropriate for the Funds and that the Funds were likely to benefit from the continued provision of those services by RMB and Mendon, as applicable.
Performance of the Funds.   The Board considered short-term and long-term investment performance of the RMB Fund. The Board noted that historic performance had dropped to 11/15 for the three-and five year periods and 9/11 for the ten-year period and was roughly at median for the one-year period ended March 31, 2021 relative to its Morningstar peer group, as the Fund had been hurt by stock selection going into the COVID-19 pandemic. The Board noted, however, that the Fund’s year-to-date performance was well above median relative to its Morningstar peer group.
The Board considered that the RMB Mendon Financial Services Fund had ranked 2/9, 8/9, 5/9 and 2/9 relative to its Morningstar peer group with respect to performance for the one-, three-, five- and ten-year periods ended March 31, 2021, respectively, an improvement in its performance over all periods from the prior year. In this context, the Board discussed steps taken by RMB to oversee the Fund’s performance and key man risk at the Fund’s advisor, Mendon Capital Advisors Corp.
The Board considered the weak investment performance of the RMB International Fund relative to its Morningstar peer group, which had dropped to 15/15 and 13/14 for the one- and three-year periods ended March 31, 2021, respectively, and considered the responses of RMB with respect to steps being taken to remediate performance.
The Board also considered the weak investment performance of the RMB Japan Fund, which ranked 7/10 and 7/9 relative to its
Morningstar peer group for the one- and three-year periods ended March 31, 2021, respectively. The Board noted that the Fund needed to establish a longer track record and that the peer group included only one other small cap fund.
The Board considered the investment performance of the RMB Small Cap Fund, noting that the market rotation to value had hurt shorter term relative performance. The Board noted that the Fund had ranked 12/15, 2/15, 2/15, and 6/13 relative to its Morningstar peer group for the one-, three-, five-, and ten-year periods ended March 31, 2021, respectively.
The Board noted that the RMB SMID Cap Fund had enjoyed excellent performance and ranked 3/15, 1/15, 1/15 and 2/12 relative to its Morningstar peer group for the one-, three-, five-, and ten-year periods ended March 31, 2021, respectively.
2. Costs of Services and Profits Realized by RMB.
(a) Costs of Services to Funds: Fees and Expenses.   The Board considered each Fund’s management fee rate and expense ratio relative to industry averages for the Fund’s peer group category and the advisory fees charged by RMB to private funds and other accounts with similar investment mandates. The Trustees viewed favorably that fees would remain the same and the current willingness of RMB to limit the total expense ratios of certain Funds, including maintaining the agreement to contractually waive fees and reimburse expenses currently in effect. The Trustees also recognized cost control measures that had been put in place.
The Board noted that the contractual management fee for the RMB Fund was well below the median and total expenses were at median compared with the Fund’s Morningstar peer group. The Board also noted that the contractual management fee expenses for the RMB Mendon Financial Services Fund were below the median of its Morningstar peer group, whereas total expenses were above the median of its Morningstar peer group.
The Board noted that the contractual management fee and total expenses for the RMB International Fund were well below the median within its Morningstar peer group. The Board noted that both the contractual management fee and total expenses for the RMB Japan Fund remained above the median within its Morningstar peer group, but noted the Fund had not yet achieved scale.
The Board noted that both the contractual management fee and total expenses for RMB Small Cap Fund were at median within its Morningstar peer group.
The Board also noted that both the contractual management fee and total expenses were well below the median within its Morningstar peer group for the RMB SMID Cap Fund. For both the RMB Small Cap Fund and RMB SMID Cap Fund, the Board observed that fee caps had significantly improved the Funds’ ranking on advisory fees and that both Funds were now at or below the median against peers. The Board concluded that, for each Fund, the contractual management fee would be

49

Board of Trustees Evaluation and Approval of Investment
Advisory and Sub-Advisory Agreements (Continued) 
acceptable based upon the qualifications, experience, reputation and performance of RMB and the moderate overall expense ratio of the Funds given the relatively small size of the Funds and the Fund complex.
(b) Profitability and Costs of Services to RMB.   The Board considered the materials concerning RMB’s profitability and costs attributable to the Funds. The Board also considered whether the amount of RMB’s profit would be a fair entrepreneurial profit for the management of the Funds. The Board considered the impact of the relatively small aggregate Fund assets on RMB’s fees and the amount of expenses that might be absorbed due to contractual expense waivers. The Board also reviewed financial statements showing RMB’s current financial position. The Board concluded that RMB’s profitability for each Fund would not be excessive, particularly in light of the quality of the services provided to the Funds.
3. Extent of Economies of Scale as the Funds Grow.   The Board considered whether there have been economies of scale with respect to the management of the Funds and whether the Funds have appropriately benefited from any economies of scale. The Board noted the Funds do not have breakpoints on their advisory fees that would otherwise allow investors to benefit directly in the form of lower fees as the Funds’ assets grow. Given the low level of assets under management in each of the Funds, the Board determined to continue to review whether and how additional economies of scale might be achieved for the benefit of Fund investors as and if asset levels materially increased.
4. Other Relevant Considerations.
(a) Personnel and Methods.   The Board considered the size, education and experience of the staff of RMB and Mendon. The Board also considered the generally favorable history, reputation, qualifications and background of RMB and Mendon, as well as
the qualifications of their personnel, and concluded that each of RMB and Mendon had sufficient personnel, with appropriate education and experience, to serve the Funds effectively.
(b) Other Benefits.   The Board also considered the character and amount of other direct and incidental benefits received by RMB, Mendon and their affiliates from their association with the Funds, including any soft dollar services received. The Board concluded that potential “fall-out” benefits that RMB, Mendon and their affiliates may receive, such as greater name recognition or increased ability to obtain research services, appear to be reasonable, and may in some cases benefit the Funds.
(c) Other matters.   The Board also considered materials provided by, and discussion with, RMB and Mendon, on the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic and measures taken to mitigate its effects, including its current and potential impact on RMB’s, Mendon’s, and the Funds’ operations and performance.
Conclusions
In considering the Agreements, the Board did not identify any factor as all-important or all-controlling and instead considered the above-listed factors and others collectively in light of the totality of the Funds’ circumstances. Based on this review, it was the judgment of the Board that shareholders of the Funds would receive satisfactory performance at reasonable fees. As a part of its decision-making process, the Board considered, generally, that shareholders invested in the Funds knowing that RMB or Mendon, as applicable, managed the Fund and knowing their investment management fee schedules and investment philosophies. As such, the Board considered, in particular, whether RMB and Mendon managed the Funds in accordance with their investment objectives and policies as disclosed to shareholders.
After full consideration of the above factors, as well as other factors that the Board considered instructive in evaluating the Agreements, the Board and the Independent Trustees unanimously concluded that the continuance of the Agreements was in the best interest of each Fund and its shareholders and, on June 3, 2021, approved continuance of the Agreements for the Funds through July 1, 2022.

            Board of Trustees Evaluation and Approval of InvestmentAdvisory and Sub-Advisory Agreements

Liquidity Risk Management Program
As required by Rule 22e-4 under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, RMB Investors Trust (the “Funds”) adopted a written liquidity risk management program (“LRMP”) that is designed to assess and manage each Fund’s “liquidity risk,” which is defined as the risk that a Fund could not meet requests to redeem shares issued by the Fund without significant dilution of remaining investors’ interests in the Fund. The Funds’ Board of Trustees (the “Board”) approved the designation of the Adviser’s Valuation Committee, consisting of senior executives of the Adviser, as the Administrator of the LRMP.
Under the LRMP, each Fund’s liquidity risk is managed taking into consideration (i) the Fund’s investment strategy, the liquidity of its portfolio investments, and its short- and long-term cash flow projections, in each case during normal and reasonably foreseeable stressed conditions, (ii) the Fund’s cash holdings and access to other funding sources, and (iii) other factors that the LRMP Administrator determines to be material and relevant. The liquidity of portfolio investments is classified, and reclassified as necessary, into one of the following four buckets: highly liquid, moderately liquid, less liquid, and illiquid. The LRMP Administrator reviews the classification (or bucketing) of each Fund’s portfolio investments no less frequently than monthly. The LRMP Administrator establishes a highly liquid investment minimum percentage of each Fund’s net assets, or the LRMP Administrator determines that the Fund primarily holds assets that are highly liquid and does not establish a highly liquid investment minimum. The LRMP also provides that no Fund
may acquire any illiquid investment if, immediately after the acquisition, the Fund would have invested more than 15% of its net assets in illiquid investments.
At least annually, the LRMP Administrator prepares a written report that addresses the operation of the LRMP and assesses its adequacy and the effectiveness of its implementation, and the LRMP Administrator presents the written report to the Board. The LRMP Administrator presented its written report to the Board at the Board’s quarterly meeting on March 4, 2021. The report covered the period of January 1, 2020 through December 31, 2020 (the “Review Period”).
The report stated that during the Review Period, there were no material market liquidity events, no Fund breached the 15% limit on illiquid investments, there were no significant redemptions impacting liquidity, and no material changes were made to the LRMP. The report concluded that the process for classifying (or bucketing) portfolio investments is adequate and working effectively, each Fund is highly liquid, each Fund’s liquidity risk is low, the liquidity of each Fund is sufficient to meet anticipated redemptions, and the LRMP has been implemented and operated in an adequate and effective manner.
There can be no assurance that the LRMP will achieve its objectives under all circumstances in the future. Additional information regarding the risks of investing in the Funds, including liquidity risks, can be found in the Funds’ Prospectus and Statement of Additional Information.
