Message from the Adviser



Dear Fellow Shareholders,


It’s been an exciting year thus far for The Dunham Funds. Our performance fee-based funds continue to capture media and industry attention. In addition, adhering to our thorough due diligence process, we have hired a new sub-adviser, Ten Asset Management, Inc., which we believe is best suited to the objective of the Dunham Real Estate Stock Fund and our investment philosophy.


We remain true to our mission of tying the compensation of our sub-advisers to the performance of your portfolios. And while some other fund companies are beginning to add some performance fee-based funds to their product offerings, the Dunham Funds stands out as one of only a few firms offering a family of asset class-based mutual funds distributed through financial advisors in which every sub-adviser’s compensation, for every single fund, is based on how well they perform for you versus established benchmarks.


Heading into the second half of 2007, we believe markets will continue to offer opportunities to add value for the Dunham Funds. Thank you for your continued trust and confidence you have placed in us.

 

Sincerely,

[f3letterfromceo43007print002.gif]

Dunham Short-Term Bond Fund

Message from the Sub-Adviser


Merganser Capital Management LP

Boston, Massachusetts


This is the semi-annual report for the Dunham Short-Term Bond Fund.


The Fed left rates unchanged at 5.25% since our annual report dated October 31, 2006.  Merganser does not expect the Fed to change rates and believes the curve will be pretty similar at the end of the year.  As outlined in the Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) statement, recent indicators suggested somewhat firmer economic growth and some tentative signs of stabilization in the housing markets.  However, some inflation risks remain, which might have to be addressed with additional increases in the federal funds rate.  Generally yields decreased on the shorter end of the curve since our last report, anywhere from 23 basis points for 3-month Treasuries to 10 basis points for 2-year Treasuries.


Corporate credits were dominated by the flight to quality after fixed income volatility increased due to concerns about sub-prime lenders.  Specifically, banks and broker/dealers took a hit as investors sold paper in these two sectors.  According to Merganser, in many cases the spreads widened more than justified, especially on the longer end of the curve.  Merganser has used this opportunity to selectively add bank and broker/dealer credits to its portfolio and expects spreads to normalize in the coming months.


Commercial mortgage backed securities (CMBS) performed well despite negative headlines about sub-prime lenders as delinquency remained low.  Merganser expects to continue finding attractive opportunities in the CMBS sector and targets a long term portfolio weight of 15% in CMBS.


Superior issue selection in Asset backed securities (ABS) contributed positively to portfolio performance.  Issues on the short end of the curve helped in the first quarter.  Additionally, issues in automobiles and manufactured housing offered attractive opportunities.


The manager’s focus on quality, which hurt performance in 2005/2006, has been rewarded in the first quarter of 2007 as investors started to acknowledge the inherent risk in lower quality bonds and subsequently demanded a premium in the form of wider spreads.

The Merrill Lynch 1-3 Year Corporate/Government Bond Index is based upon publicly issued short-term corporate and government debt securities with maturities ranging between 1 and 3 years.  Investors cannot invest directly in an index or benchmark.


Past performance is not indicative of future results.  The investment return and NAV will fluctuate, so that an investor’s shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost.  Total returns are calculated assuming reinvestment of all dividends and capital gains distributions, if any. The returns do not reflect the deductions of taxes a shareholder would pay on the redemption of fund shares or fund distributions.

Dunham Corporate/Government Bond Fund

Message from the Sub-Adviser


SCM Advisors LLC

San Francisco, California


This is the semi-annual report for the Dunham Corporate/Government Bond Fund.


Spread volatility increased in the second half of the first calendar quarter due to global equity market declines and concerns about sub-prime lenders.  Fixed income volatility, as measured by the Merrill Lynch Option Volatility Estimate (MOVE), increased 39.7%.  A slower economy and uncertainty as to the direction of interest rates created a challenging environment.


The manager left its 15% exposure to high yield bonds unchanged during the first calendar quarter.  Lower quality credits underperformed high quality credits as investors fled to quality in the second half of the first calendar quarter.  The manager’s exposure to sub-prime lenders remained limited during the quarter.  Generally, Seneca has a neutral outlook on high yield credits and expects to find opportunities in lower as well as higher quality high yield bonds as issuance remains high.


Seneca’s underweight to broker/dealers and banks relatively helped as these sectors were significantly affected by the concerns about sub-prime lenders.  The 5.5% Lehman Brothers (52517PF63) paper maturing in April 2016 advanced 3.17% in the first calendar quarter, adding value to portfolio performance on a relative and absolute basis.  Holdings in the energy and natural resources sector also benefited the portfolio.  


Going forward, Seneca expects interest rates to remain stable, with the possibility of a decrease in rates in the second half of the year, depending on how much the economy slows and whether inflation remains under control.  A stable or decreasing interest rate environment generally creates a more favorable environment for fixed income securities.  


Seneca Capital Management recently changed its name to SCM Advisors in an effort to rebrand the firm after the departure of Seneca’s founder, Gail Seneca, over a year ago.

The Lehman Brothers Aggregate Bond Index is an unmanaged index which represents the U.S. investment-grade fixed-rate bond market (including government and corporate securities, mortgage pass-through securities and asset-backed securities).  Investors cannot invest directly in an index or benchmark.


Past performance is not indicative of future results.  The investment return and NAV will fluctuate, so that an investor’s shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost.  Total returns are calculated assuming reinvestment of all dividends and capital gains distributions, if any. The returns do not reflect the deductions of taxes a shareholder would pay on the redemption of fund shares or fund distributions.

Dunham High-Yield Bond Fund

Message from the Sub-Adviser


PENN Capital Management Company, Inc.

Cherry Hill, New Jersey


This is the semi-annual report for the Dunham High Yield Bond Fund.


The first quarter of 2007 started pretty much like 2006 ended with lower quality bonds significantly outperforming higher quality high yield bonds.  Recent headlines caused by concerns about the sub-prime industry prompted investors to look for higher quality issues.  Concerns about sub-primes and the recent equity setback have changed the environment in favor of our manager’s strategy.


BB- and B-rated bonds, as measured by the Merrill Lynch High Yield BB/B index, have outperformed CCC and lower rated bonds in March by over 20 basis points.  Penn’s superior issue selection added value in the last month of the quarter as the manager outperformed the broad Merrill Lynch High Yield Cash Pay Index by over 40 basis points.


The high yield market has seen good liquidity in recent months with many new issues coming to the market.  The investors’ high risk tolerance up until the last few months led to a borrower’s market characterized by less strict covenants and tight spreads as mainly retail investors were reaching for yield.  While the recent increase in volatility and concerns about sup-primes led to a spread widening most significantly in lower quality bonds, investor sentiment will most likely not change permanently in 2007 according to the manager.


The manager’s exposure to the gaming industry continues to contribute positively to portfolio performance.  Isle of Capri Casinos (464592AG9) returned close to 2% after a return of close to 8% in the fourth quarter of 2006.  The portfolio’s shorter duration compared to the benchmark hurt performance in the first quarter of 2007.  The duration of the portfolio, is however merely an outcome of the manager’s bottom-up issue selection rather than an active bet.

Total Returns as of April 30, 2007

Six Months    5.59%    One Year     8.48%    Annualized Since Inception (July 1, 2005)    6.59%


The Merrill Lynch High-Yield Cash Pay Index is an unmanaged portfolio constructed to mirror the public high-yield debt market.  Issues included in the index have maturities of one year or more and have a credit rating lower than BBB-/Baa3.  Investors cannot invest directly in an index or benchmark.


Past performance is not indicative of future results.  The investment return and NAV will fluctuate, so that an investor’s shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost.  Total returns are calculated assuming reinvestment of all dividends and capital gains distributions, if any. The returns do not reflect the deductions of taxes a shareholder would pay on the redemption of fund shares or fund distributions.

Dunham Appreciation & Income Fund

Message from the Sub-Adviser


Calamos Advisers, LLC

Naperville, Illinois


This is the semi-annual report for the Dunham Appreciation & Income Fund.


Overall Calamos performed in line with its benchmark, the Merrill Lynch Convertibles ex Mandatory Index, since the annual report dated October 31, 2006.  After trailing the benchmark in the first two months of 2007, the manager caught up in March as lower quality converts started to drag on benchmark performance and the manager’s underweight in these more speculative issues paid off.


Positively contributing to portfolio performance was issue selection in financials and consumer discretionary. The slight overweight in security selection in industrials added additional value to the portfolio.  Standing out was Franklin Resources, Inc. (BEN), an investment advisory services provider.  Even though the holding was not spared a setback in the wake of global equity market declines and concerns about financials due to the headlines of sub-prime lenders, the position managed to post a return of over 9% in the first calendar quarter.


Athletic footwear manufacturer Nike, Inc. (NKE) posted a return of over 9% year-to-date after news of increasing profits and a gain in market share of its iPod-compatible running shoes.


The 6.375% Metlife convertible preferred (59156RAP3) contributed positively to portfolio performance in since October 31, 2006.  The issue maturing in August 2008 currently trades at a low conversion premium of 7.31%, allowing the holding to participate in the upside of the preferred stock while providing downside protection through the bond feature.


The portfolio’s average conversion premium remains very low at 9.4%, while the benchmark is at 22.2%.  The portfolio therefore is more sensitive to equity market movements than its benchmark, especially since the portfolio contains a 50% allocation to mid-large cap growth oriented equities.  


Calamos reduced it allocation to industrials from 12% to 10% to reposition the portfolio.  The manager has started to increase its positions in financials, consumer discretionary and information technology.

The Merrill Lynch Convertibles ex Mandatories Index measures the performance of convertible securities of all corporate sectors with a par amount of $25 million or more and a maturity of at least one year and excludes preferred equity redemption stocks and converted securities.  Investors cannot invest directly in an index or benchmark.


Past performance is not indicative of future results.  The investment return and NAV will fluctuate, so that an investor’s shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost.  Total returns are calculated assuming reinvestment of all dividends and capital gains distributions, if any. The returns do not reflect the deductions of taxes a shareholder would pay on the redemption of fund shares or fund distributions.

Dunham Large Cap Value Fund

Message from the Sub-Adviser


C.S. McKee, L.P.

Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania


This is the semi-annual report for the Dunham Large Cap Value Fund.


After a dominating outperformance in 2006, large cap value stocks continued to outperform large cap growth stocks, posting a return of 1.24% in the first quarter of 2007.  9 out of 12 sectors in the Russell 1000 Value Index posted positive returns.  Other energy led, posting a return just shy of 12%, followed by materials around 10%.  Financials were among the negative returns, down about 3%, which can partially be attributed to the sub-prime market hiccup this past March.


The manager’s stock picking skills contributed positively to portfolio performance through April.  Utilities were led by Public Service Enterprise Group Inc. (PEG), a company specializing in generating, transmitting, and distributing electricity and producing natural gas in New Jersey.  PEG outperformed by almost 20%, with a return of 24.95% while the sector benchmark posted a return of 6.45% in the first calendar quarter.  Another big contributor was Marathon Oil Corporation (MRO).  While the position was trimmed back as it approached its target price, the company’s fundamentals are still sound and C.S.McKee still believes strongly in this holding.  Unfortunately, some of C.S. McKee’s best picks contributed little to the portfolio performance due to an insignificant weight in the portfolio.  Both Avis Budget Group Inc. (CAR) and Hanesbrands Inc. (HBI) reported excellent returns at 25.96% and 24.43%, respectively.


Additionally, C.S. McKee took advantage of the recent merger between Caremark Rx, Inc. (CMX) and CVS Corporation (CVS) to form CVS/Caremark Corporation in late March.  Caremark specializes in prescription benefit management, therapeutic pharmaceutical services, and associated disease management programs.  The manager realized a gain of over 20% by liquidating its position in Caremark.


C.S. McKee continues to look for opportunities within the currently underweighted materials sector.  The manager has repositioned its portfolio towards relative value stocks, believing that growth-oriented stocks will outperform going forward.  The manager believes that the market will remain volatile, and potential mergers and acquisitions might offer rewarding investment opportunities in the future.

The Russell 1000 Value Index measures the performance of the 1,000 largest companies in the Russell 3000 Index with lower price-to-book ratios and lower forecasted growth values.  Investors cannot invest directly in an index or benchmark.


Past performance is not indicative of future results.  The investment return and NAV will fluctuate, so that an investor’s shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost.  Total returns are calculated assuming reinvestment of all dividends and capital gains distributions, if any. The returns do not reflect the deductions of taxes a shareholder would pay on the redemption of fund shares or fund distributions.

Dunham Real Estate Stock Fund

Message from the Sub-Adviser


Ten Asset Management, Inc.

Encinitas, California


This is the semi-annual report for the Dunham Real Estate Stock Fund.


The real estate market, as measured by the Dow Jones Wilshire Real Estate Securities Index, posted a modest return compared to our last annual report, returning 6.24% over the six month period ending April 30, 2007.  However, for the one year trailing, ending April 30, 2007 the Wilshire RESI advanced an impressive 26.68%.


The new manager restructured the portfolio in January and lagged the benchmark in the first two months of the year.  Ten Asset Management’s quantitative investment process with a focus on managing the active risk in the portfolio paid off in March when the manager relatively outperformed the benchmark.


Regional Mall REITs contributed the most to the manager’s performance, followed by shopping centers and office property.  Shopping centers and office property REITs continued to perform well in the first quarter after being among the top contributors to portfolio performance in the fourth quarter.  The manager’s biggest weighting remains in apartments, followed by office properties and shopping centers.


After returning over 11% and over 7% in the third and fourth quarter of 2006, respectively, distribution facility and service provider, ProLogis (PLD), continued to perform well in the first quarter of 2007, returning 7.56%.  ProLogis has seen strong growth in absolute terms with a return of close to 33% over the last 12 months.


After taking over the mandate from the previous manager, TEN Asset Management, Inc. decided to add Kimco Realty Corp. (KIM) during the quarter.  Kimco, which owns and operates neighborhood and community shopping centers, posted a return of 8.43% in the first quarter of 2007, after releasing a fourth calendar quarter earnings increase of 23%.


After strong returns in the third and fourth quarter of last year, Developers Diversified Realty (DDR) posted a return of 4.48% year-to-date. DDR develops, leases, and manages shopping centers.  This company posted impressive returns of 13.95% for the fourth quarter and nearly 10% in the third quarter of last year.


Hospitality Properties Trust (HPT) was among the biggest contributors to portfolio performance. HPT returned 6.54% in the first quarter of 2007. The stock price remains very volatile but fundamentals remain intact.

Dunham International Stock Fund

Message from the Sub-Adviser


Neuberger Berman Management Inc.

New York, New York


This is the semi-annual report for the Dunham International Stock Fund.


International markets, as measured by the MSCI All Country World ex. USA Index, continued its positive trend through the beginning of 2007.  The dollar remained fairly weak, aiding US-based investors.  Australia led the way, with returns over 9% for the first quarter of 2007, and Europe continued to perform well, with the Netherlands and Germany posting returns over 6%.


Neuberger Berman continues to be overweight in Europe, North and South America, while underweighting Asia and Africa.  The manager’s allocation to Europe was the biggest contributor, while the underweighting in Asia put pressure on performance.


Among the biggest contributors in the first quarter were the manager’s positions in industrials and consumer discretionary, while the overweight in energy did not benefit the portfolio as it did the previous quarter.


Among the manager’s top holdings was Wincor Nixdorf AG (WIN GR), a German manufacturer of banking products like ATMs, returned over 20% in the first quarter.  Sports car manufacturer, Porsche AG (POR3 GR), continues to perform well, posting a return of over 22% in the first quarter, after an 18% return last quarter.  The manager also found buying opportunities in Japan, adding Gulliver International Company (7599 JP), which operates a used car auction system.  Neuberger Berman also added to their position in Mars Engineering Corporation (6419 JP), a manufacturer of equipment used in gambling houses called pachinco parlors.


Neuberger Berman still believes their overweight in the consumer discretionary sector is very attractive.  The manager continues to see opportunity in the United Kingdom, especially homebuilders, with such great barriers to entry for new competition.  They are also seeking further opportunities in some emerging market countries, specifically Brazil and Korea, with consensus GDP estimates still pointing to higher growth outside the US.

Dunham Small Cap Value Fund

Message from the Sub-Adviser


Denver Investment Advisors LLC

Denver, Colorado


This is the semi-annual report for the Dunham Small Cap Value Fund.


After four consecutive quarters of outperforming small cap growth stocks, small cap value stocks trailed small cap growth stocks significantly in the first calendar quarter.  The outperformance of over 10% of small cap value stocks over small cap growth stocks for the year ended March 31, 2007 remains impressive.  Nine out of twelve sectors in the Russell 2000 Value Index returned positive results, led by consumer staples, materials and auto & transportations.  Laggards included utilities, integrated oils, and not surprisingly, interest rate sensitive financials.  Denver posted impressive results in the first quarter, outperforming its benchmark by over 250 basis points.


High-speed electronic cables manufacturer, Belden CTD, Inc. (BDC), returned over 35% in the first quarter after posting significant returns last year.  The manager trimmed the holding after it reached the maximum position size of 5%.  Nevertheless, Denver’s outlook for the company remains positive as the lack of supply will potentially allow the manager to increase prices beyond inflation based adjustments.  Currently, the stock trades in the mid 50s with a price target around $70.


While the auto & transportation sector lagged in 2006, it contributed positively to portfolio performance in the first quarter of 2007. The sector was up close to 9%, additionally, Denver’s superior stock selection increased the total contribution to portfolio performance.  Supply and demand factors for the sector continue to look promising.  Specifically, Diana Shipping, Inc. (DSX), a owner and operator of dry bulk carriers, benefited from the lack of supply of dry bulk capacity and the related increase in shipping cost for dry goods. DSX returned close to 20% in the first calendar quarter.


The environment for Denver’s approach to invest only in companies paying dividends continued to improve as investors have become more risk-averse and started to favor quality.  


The recent adjustments in the portfolio have positioned the portfolio well with current market environment.  Denver remains confident that its portfolio will continue to perform well absent any irrational market setback.

Dunham Large Cap Growth Fund

Message from the Sub-Adviser



Rigel Capital, LLC.

Seattle, Washington


This is the semi-annual report for the Dunham Large Cap Growth Fund.


Large cap growth stocks continued to trail large cap value stocks since our last annual report, as inflation concerns and the sub-prime hiccup spurred a flight from growth.  Though growth stocks fought an uphill battle against the negative sentiment, the manager and Russell 1000 Growth Index both finished in positive territory.  Rigel Capital uses situations such as these as buying opportunities and expects an advantage when negative market sentiment reverts back to positive.


Though the healthcare sector underperformed the Russell 1000 Growth Index with a lackluster return of 0.9%, the manager found opportunities in names that outperformed the benchmark.  One of Rigel’s largest positions, Baxter International, Inc. (BAX), had a 14.8% return over the quarter.  Another strong performer in the healthcare sector was Stryker Corporation (SYK), a manufacturer and distributor of specialty surgical and medical products.  Stryker had a 20.3% return over the quarter, after reporting an increase in free cash flow of nearly 10%.  The manager also trimmed some of its less promising positions, such as Celgene Corporation (CELG), which struggled with a negative 8.8% return over the first calendar quarter.


Financials dragged on performance as the sub-prime lenders found investors fleeing to companies with less exposure to the lower-rated debt.  Companies such as Morgan Stanley (MS) and U.S. Bancorp (USB) were both down 3.0% and 2.2%, respectively for the first quarter of 2007.  The manager has been reducing its exposure to these companies until the negativity subsides.


As many investors are fearful of how the housing market’s slide will impact the economy, the manager has taken a defensive stance on consumer durables and consumer staples.  However, companies such as McDonald’s Corporation (MCD) and Colgate-Palmolive Company (CL) continue to add value to the portfolio. McDonald’s and Colgate both added positively to the portfolio over the last quarter with performance of 1.6% and 2.9%, respectively.


Rigel is optimistic that large cap growth companies will rebound during this year.  In the meantime, the manager will be cautious as they trim positions more sensitive to the current market environment and add to companies that potentially perform better in speculative markets.

Dunham Small Cap Growth Fund

Message from the Sub-Adviser


Pier Capital LLC

Stamford, Connecticut


This is the semi-annual report for the Dunham Small Cap Growth Fund.


The manager struggled during the first half of this fiscal year as the negative sentiment surrounding sub-prime loans punished many of their holdings at the end of February.  Pier viewed what some investors called a market correction, as a knee-jerk reaction that threw out quality companies with their overvalued peers.  The portfolio’s underperformance versus the benchmark in the first quarter of 2007 was fueled by the higher quality names falling when the global markets took a hit in February.


Pier continued to overweight healthcare, which hurt the portfolio as the sector underperformed the Russell 2000 Growth Index by over 2.0%.  Companies such as DexCom, Inc. (DXCM), a company that designs specialty devices for monitoring glucose levels in patients suffering from diabetes, fell as their earnings release showed a $46 million net loss.  The loss was a result of the patient’s inability to receive adequate reimbursement for the devices, which in turn reduced demand.  Pier still sees this as a strong company  The manager tends to focus on companies with a strategic advantage over the competition, and in companies such as Cutera Inc. (CUTR), a developer and manufacturer of aesthetic laser systems, returned over 34% for the first calendar quarter due to a jump in revenues by 27%.


Although technology rebounded after a poor fourth quarter by boasting a first quarter return of 5.4%, Pier experienced mixed results.  Holdings that performed well in the fourth quarter such as Daktronics Inc. (DAKT), a supplier of electronic scoreboards, struggled as they pushed back contracts.  Conversely, holdings that underperformed in the fourth quarter such as Trident Microsystems, Inc. (TRID) outperformed the sector by nearly 500 bps due to strong annual sales growth.


Relinquishing its defensive stance, Pier added to holdings in the consumer discretionary sector, which produced strong returns through stock selection.  Zumiez Inc. (ZUMZ), a sports apparel retailer, posted a 35.8% for the quarter as it continues to thrive against competitors such as Pacific Sunwear of California (PSUN).  Though the sector performance only slightly detracted from the index, underperforming by 20 bps, the manager benefited from holdings such as Zumiez.


Pier continues to be optimistic about its portfolio construction, as it find more buying opportunities when quality stocks are negatively impacted by the negative sentiment in the marketplace.  Therefore, the manager expects these holdings to rebound as the sentiment neutralizes.

The Russell 2000 Growth Index measures the performance of those Russell 2000 companies with higher price-to-book ratios and higher forecasted growth values.  Investors cannot invest directly in an index or benchmark.


Past performance is not indicative of future results.  The investment return and NAV will fluctuate, so that an investor’s shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost.  Total returns are calculated assuming reinvestment of all dividends and capital gains distributions, if any. The returns do not reflect the deductions of taxes a shareholder would pay on the redemption of fund shares or fund distributions.

Dunham Emerging Markets Stock Fund

Message from the Sub-Adviser


Van Eck Associates Corporation

New York, New York


This is the semi-annual report for the Dunham Emerging Markets Stock Fund.


Albeit, a relatively lackluster first quarter for emerging markets, Van Eck found value and significantly outperformed the benchmark, the MSCI Emerging Markets Index since our last annual report ended October 31, 2006.  Within the emerging markets universe, countries that are adjacent to developed market countries added the most value to Van Eck’s portfolio.  Holdings in Turkey and Kazakhstan contributed positively to portfolio performance.


Turkish companies Asya Katilim Bankasi AS (ASYAB TI), a commercial bank, and Usas Ucak Servisi AS (UCAK TI), an airline caterer, adding value with quarter returns of 44.5% and 25.6%, respectively.  Adding to performance of Turkish holdings was the decrease in dollar value versus the Turkish lira, which boosted returns over 200 bps.


Gaming companies continue to succeed in areas such as Macau, which dwarfs gaming cities in the United States, such as Las Vegas.  Dreamgate Corporation Berhad (DCB MK) provides technical and management services to such establishments, and over the past quarter benefited from servicing and renting the slot machines, generating a return of 29.7%.


Just as the United States’ agricultural market took a great hit when the spinach-related E. coli struck California and other states, Hong Kong faces such problems on an ongoing basis.  China Green Limited (904 HK), a company that produces and supplies fresh and processed vegetables and fruits, benefited from the increased demand for quality vegetables by producing a return of 42.0% over the quarter.


Thailand rebounded during the first quarter of 2007 after struggling with deflation concerns.  The manager anticipates the government reducing interest rates, and plans to add to the portfolio exposure to Thailand.  Current Thai portfolio holdings showed mixed returns, as Banpu Public Company Limited (BANPU TB), a coal and mineral mining company, outperformed the country index by nearly 1,200 bps and Ticon Industrial Connection (TICON TB), an industrial estates developer, underperformed by over 300 bps in local currency.  When converting to U.S. dollars, both companies outperformed the benchmark by 2,200 bps and 500 bps, respectively.


Van Eck is continues to find value in Asian companies and is interested in how the reflation will boost future returns.  In light of the more recent United States’ stock market struggle and perceived recession, the manager remains cautious of countries that rely heavily on the United States, such as Korea and Taiwan..

Total Returns as of April 30, 2007

The MSCI Emerging Markets Index is a free float-adjusted market capitalization index that is designed to measure equity market performance in the global emerging markets.  Investors cannot invest directly in an index or benchmark.


Past performance is not indicative of future results.  The investment return and NAV will fluctuate, so that an investor’s shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost.  Total returns are calculated assuming reinvestment of all dividends and capital gains distributions, if any. The returns do not reflect the deductions of taxes a shareholder would pay on the redemption of fund shares or fund distributions.

Currently, each Fund offers Class A, Class C and Class N shares.   Each class represents an interest in the same assets of the applicable Fund with the only difference being that Class A shares are subject to a front-end sales charge and an annual distribution fee and Class C shares are subject to an annual service and distribution fee.  The Class C and N shares, with the exception of Short-Term Bond and High-Yield Bond, commenced operations on December 10, 2004 and were formed as a result of tax-free conversions from common trusts.  The conversions were accomplished through the exchange of the common trust securities, cash, and other assets for equivalent value of the Funds’ shares.  Short-Term Bond Class C and N shares commenced operations on December 13, 2004 and High-Yield Bond Class C and N shares commenced operations on July 1, 2005.  The Class A shares for all Funds commenced operations on January 3, 2007.

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES


The preparation of financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts and disclosures in the financial statements.  Actual results could differ from those estimates.  


The following is a summary of significant accounting policies followed by the Funds in preparation of their financial statements.


a. Security Valuation – Equity securities are valued at the last sale price on the exchange in which such securities are primarily traded, as of the close of business on the day the securities are being valued. NASDAQ traded securities are valued using the NASDAQ Official Closing Price (“NOCP”).  In the absence of a last sale price, securities are valued using the last available bid price.  U.S. government and agency securities, short-term debt instruments with a remaining maturity of more than 60 days, intermediate and long-term bonds, convertible bonds, and other debt securities are generally valued on the basis of a bid price supplied by a pricing service selected by the Adviser and approved by the Board of Trustees of the Trust (the “Board”). Where no last sale price for exchange traded debt securities is available, the bid  price may be used.  Where such prices are not available, valuations will be obtained from brokers who are market makers for such securities.  Short-term investments that mature in 60 days or less are valued at amortized cost, provided such valuations represent fair value.  Foreign securities are valued on the basis of market quotations from the primary market in which they are traded, and are translated from the local currency into U.S. dollars using current exchange rates.


Securities for which current market quotations are not readily available or for which quotations are not deemed to be representative of market values are valued at fair value as determined in good faith by or under the direction of the Board in accordance with the Trust’s Portfolio Securities Valuation Procedures (the “Procedures”).  The Procedures consider, among others, the following factors to determine a security’s fair value: the nature and pricing history (if any) of the security; whether any dealer quotations for the security are available; and possible valuation methodologies that could be used to determine the fair value of the security.   


Securities in which the Funds invest may be traded in markets that close before 4:00 p.m. Eastern Time.  Normally, developments that occur between the close of the foreign markets and 4:00 p.m. Eastern Time will not be reflected in the Fund’s NAV.  However, funds may determine that such developments are so significant that they will materially affect the value of the Fund’s securities, and the Fund may adjust the previous closing prices to reflect what the Board believes to be the fair value of these securities as of 4:00 p.m. Eastern Time. On April 30, 2007, the security prices of certain funds were adjusted in accordance with such policy.

 

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

April 30, 2007 (Continued) (Unaudited)



b. Foreign Currency Translations – The accounting records of the Funds are maintained in U.S. dollars. Investment securities and other assets and liabilities denominated in a foreign currency, and income receipts and expense payments are translated into U.S. dollars using the prevailing exchange rate at the London market close. Purchases and sales of securities are translated into U.S. dollars at the contractual currency rates established at the approximate time of the trade.


Net realized gains and losses on foreign currency transactions represent net gains and losses from currency realized between the trade and settlement dates on securities transactions and the difference between income accrued versus income received. The effects of changes in foreign currency exchange rates on investments in securities are included with the net realized and unrealized gain or loss on investment securities.

c. Forward Currency Contracts – As foreign securities are purchased, a Fund generally enters into forward currency exchange contracts in order to hedge against foreign currency exchange rate risks.  The market value of the contract fluctuates with changes in currency exchange rates.  The contract is marked-to-market daily and the change in market value is recorded by a Fund as an unrealized gain or loss.  As foreign securities are sold, a portion of the contract is generally closed and the Fund records a realized gain or loss equal to the difference between the value of the contract at the time it was opened and the value at the time it was closed.  Realized gains and losses from contract transactions are included as a component of net realized gains (losses) from investments and foreign currency in the Statements of Operations.


d. Investment Transactions, Investment Income and Expenses – Investment transactions are recorded on a trade date basis.  Realized gains and losses from investment transactions and foreign exchange transactions are calculated using the identified cost method.  Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date (“ex-date”) except in the case of certain dividends from foreign securities, which are recorded as soon after the ex-date as the respective Fund, using reasonable diligence, becomes aware of such dividends.  Interest income is recorded on an accrual basis.  Discounts are accreted and premiums are amortized as adjustments to interest income and the identified costs of investments.


Expenses of the Trust that are directly identifiable to a specific Fund, are charged to that Fund.  Expenses, which are not readily identifiable to a specific Fund, are allocated in such a manner as deemed equitable, taking into consideration the nature and type of expense and the relative sizes of the Funds.  Each Fund’s income, expenses (other than the class specific distribution fees) and realized and unrealized gains and losses are allocated proportionally each day between the classes based upon the relative net assets of each class.


e. Concentration of Risk – Investing in securities of foreign issuers and currency transactions may involve certain considerations and risks not typically associated with investments in the United States.  These risks include revaluation of currencies, adverse fluctuations in foreign currency values and possible adverse political, social and economic developments, including those particular to a specific industry, country or region.  These conditions could cause the securities and their markets to be less liquid and prices more volatile than those of comparable U.S. companies and U.S. government securities.


Small capitalization (“small cap”) companies may be more vulnerable than larger capitalization companies to adverse business or economic developments.  Small cap companies may also have limited product lines, markets or financial resources, and may be dependent on a relatively small management group.  Securities of such companies may be less liquid and more volatile than securities of larger capitalization companies or the market averages in general and therefore may involve greater risk than investing in larger capitalization companies.  


The ability of issuers of debt securities held by the Funds to meet their obligations may be affected by economic and political developments particular to a specific industry, country, state or region.  Investments in lower grade debt securities are subject to special risks, including greater price volatility and a greater risk of loss of principal and interest.  


f. Federal Income Taxes – It is each Fund’s policy to comply with all sections of the Internal Revenue Code applicable to regulated investment companies and to distribute all of its taxable income and gains, if any, to its shareholders and therefore, no provision for federal income tax has been made.  Each Fund is treated as a separate taxpayer for federal income tax purposes.  


g. Distributions to Shareholders – It is each Funds’ policy to distribute its respective net investment income and net capital gains, if any, annually except for Short-Term Bond, Corporate/Government Bond and High-Yield Bond, which will distribute their respective net income, if any, monthly.  Distributions of net investment income and net capital gains are determined in accordance with income tax regulations which may differ from accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.  Differences in dividends from net investment income per share between the classes are due to service and distribution related expenses.


h. Indemnification – The Trust indemnifies its officers and trustees for certain liabilities that may arise from the performance of their duties to the Trust.  Additionally, in the normal course of business, each Fund enters into contracts that contain a variety of representations and warranties and which provide general indemnities.  A Fund’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown, as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Fund that has not yet occurred.  However, based on experience, the Fund expects the risk of loss due to these warranties and indemnities to be remote.



NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

April 30, 2007 (Continued) (Unaudited)



i. New Accounting Pronouncements – On July 13, 2006, The Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) released FASB Interpretation No. 48 “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes” (“FIN 48”).  FIN 48 provides guidance for how uncertain tax positions should be recognized, measured, presented and disclosed in the financial statements.  FIN 48 requires the evaluation of tax positions taken or expected to be taken in the course of preparing a Fund’s tax returns to determine whether the tax positions are “more-likely-than-not” of being sustained by the applicable tax authority.  Tax positions not deemed to meet the more-likely-than-not threshold would be recorded as a tax benefit or expense in the current year.  Adoption of FIN 48 is required for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006 and is to be applied to all open tax years as of the effective date.  At this time management believes that the adoption of FIN 48 will have no impact on the financial statements of any Fund.


In September 2006, FASB issued Statement on Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 157 “Fair Value Measurements.”  This standard establishes a single authoritative definition of fair value, sets out a framework for measuring fair value and requires additional disclosure about fair value measurements.  SFAS No. 157 applies to fair value measurements already required or permitted by existing standards.  SFAS No. 157 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007 and interim periods within those fiscal years.  The changes to current generally accepted accounting principles from the application of this Statement relate to the definition of fair value, the methods used to measure fair value, and the expanded disclosures about fair value measurements.  As of April 30, 2007, the Dunham Funds do not believe the adoption of SFAS No. 157 will impact the amounts reported in the financial statements, however, additional disclosures may be required about the inputs used to develop the measurements and the effect of certain of the measurements reported on the statement of changes in net assets for a fiscal period.

INVESTMENT ADVISORY FEES AND OTHER TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES


a. Management Fees – Dunham & Associates Investment Counsel, Inc. (“Dunham & Associates” or the “Adviser”), serves as each Fund’s Investment Adviser.  Pursuant to an Investment Management Agreement with the Funds, Dunham & Associates, subject to the supervision of the Board and in conformity with the stated policies of the Funds, manages the operations of the Funds.  The Adviser, subject to the review and approval of the Board, selects Sub-Advisers for each Fund and supervises and monitors the performance of each Sub-Adviser.  As compensation for its services, each Fund pays the Adviser a fixed fee, accrued daily and paid monthly, based on each Fund’s respective average daily net assets.  The Adviser has entered into a sub-advisory agreement with each Sub-Adviser and the Trust, on behalf of the Fund.  As approved at a shareholder meeting held on June 23, 2006, and effective July 1, 2006, each Fund pays the Sub-Adviser a “Fulcrum Fee”.  A Fulcrum Fee is a performance fee whereby the Sub-Adviser receives a bonus when outperforming, or a penalty when under-performing, a Fund’s benchmark index.  As a result of the fulcrum fee arrangement, the total annual management fee for a Fund will have a range as shown in the table below.

                                                   * Fees do not reflect contractual waivers, if any.


 

Each Fund’s Sub-Advisory Fulcrum Fee will be calculated daily using an annual base Sub-Advisory fee of a specified amount of the average daily net assets of the Fund (the “Base Fee”), adjusted by the Fund’s Class N share performance relative to the Fund’s benchmark (the “Performance Fee”).   During the first twelve months of the Fulcrum Fee arrangement, the Performance Fee will be calculated daily from inception date of the agreement to the calculation date and be applied to the average daily net assets of the Fund during the calculation period.  After the initial twelve months, the Performance Fee will be calculated on a daily basis based on comparative performance over a rolling twelve-month period.


Depending on the particular sub-advisory agreement, the Performance Fee can adjust the Base Fee up or down by as much as 100% of the Base Fee, such that the sub-advisory fee can vary anywhere from 0.00% (the “Minimum Fee”) to twice the Base Fee (the “Maximum Fee”).  However, because each such sub-advisory agreement requires that the sub-adviser be paid out only the monthly Minimum Fee during the first year (in most cases, 0.00%), the sub-adviser, in most cases, will receive no compensation until the end of the first year.  At the end of the first year of the agreement, the sub-adviser will be paid a lump sum that reflects the accrued Fulcrum Fee over the year, less any Minimum Fees paid out during the first year.  Therefore, in the first year, the proposed Fulcrum Fee methodology will have three elements: 1) daily calculation of the Performance Fee and daily accrual of the Fulcrum Fee; 2) monthly

 

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

April 30, 2007 (Continued) (Unaudited)



payment of the Minimum Fee only (if any); and 3) a lump sum payment at the end of the initial 12-month period of the accrued Fulcrum

Fee less the Minimum Fee.  Beginning with the thirteenth month of operation under each sub-advisory agreement, the entire sub-advisory fee will be calculated daily and paid monthly based on the Fund’s average daily net assets and performance versus the benchmark over the prior rolling twelve-month period.


In addition, certain sub-advisors have contractually agreed to waive a portion of their overall fees during an initial period of either one year or eighteen months.  Sub-advisers can not waive more than they earn and will never be in a position to owe money to the Funds, therefore, if the fee earned is equal to or less than the waiver, the sub-adviser will receive no payment nor will the sub-adviser owe money to the Fund.

FEDERAL TAX INFORMATION


The timing and character of income and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance with income tax regulations, which may differ from accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.  Reclassifications are made to a Fund’s capital accounts for permanent tax differences to reflect income and gains available for distribution (or available capital loss carryforwards) under income tax regulations.






NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

April 30, 2007 (Continued) (Unaudited)




As of October 31, 2006, permanent book and tax differences, resulting primarily from differing treatments for foreign currency transactions, dividend reclassifications, reclassifications of gains on contingent convertible debt securities, net operating losses and security paydown gains and losses were identified and reclassified among the components of the Fund’s net assets as follows:

YOUR FUND’S EXPENSES (Unaudited)


Example

Shareholders of mutual funds will pay ongoing expenses, such as advisory fees, distribution and service fees (12b-1), and other fund expenses.  The following examples are intended to help you understand the ongoing cost (in dollars) of investing in a fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds.  Please note, the expenses shown in the tables are meant to highlight ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transactional costs, such as sales charges (loads), or contingent deferred sales charges on redemptions which may be assessed by mutual funds.  This Example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period as indicated below.


Actual Expenses

The columns under the heading entitled “Actual” help you estimate the actual expenses you paid over the period.  The “Actual-Ending Account Value” shown is derived from the Fund’s actual return, and the “Actual- Expenses Paid During Period” shows the dollar amount that would have been paid by an investor who started with $1,000 in the Fund.  To estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period, simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the column under the heading entitled “Actual-Expenses Paid During Period”.


Hypothetical Examples for Comparison Purposes

The columns under the heading entitled “Hypothetical” provide information about hypothetical account value and hypothetical expenses based on the Fund’s actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Fund’s actual return.  The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period.  You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Fund and other funds.  To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of other funds.


Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transactional costs which may be applicable to your account.  Therefore, the last column of the table (Hypothetical- Expenses Paid During Period) is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds.  In addition, if these transactional costs were included, your costs would have been higher.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION (Unaudited)



APPROVAL OF SUB-ADVISORY AGREEMENT

In connection with the Regular Meeting for the Trust on December 19, 2006, the full Board, including the Independent Trustees, approved a Sub-Advisory Agreement among Dunham & Associates Investment Counsel, Inc.  (the “Adviser”), the Trust and Ten Asset Management, Inc. (the “Sub-Adviser”), on behalf of the Dunham Real Estate Stock Fund, (the “Fund”). The Board noted that the new agreement was proposed as a result of the previous sub-adviser’s resignation. The Board further noted that the former sub-adviser had undergone an internal reorganization that resulted in its inability to continue offering the required management strategy for the Fund.  The Board discussed the Trust’s exemptive order which allows the Adviser to replace sub-advisers without shareholder vote but noted that information pertaining to the new sub-adviser would be sent to shareholders, pursuant to the order.


At the meeting, the Board interviewed the Sub-Adviser and received materials specifically relating to the Sub-Advisory Agreement. These materials included: (a) information on the investment performance of the Sub-Adviser, a peer group of funds and appropriate indices with respect to existing accounts of the Sub-Adviser; (b) the economic outlook and the general investment outlook in the markets in which each Fund will invest;  (c) arrangements in respect of the distribution of the Fund’s shares; (d) the procedures employed to determine the value of the Fund’s assets; (e) the Sub-Adviser’s management of the relationships with the Fund’s custodian; (f) the resources available with respect to compliance with the Fund’s investment policies and restrictions and with policies on personal securities transactions; and (g) the nature, cost and character of non-investment management services provided by the Sub-Adviser and its affiliates.  


Additional information was furnished by the Sub-Adviser including, among other items, information on and analysis of (a) the overall organization of the Sub-Adviser, (b) the choice of performance indices and benchmarks, (c) investment management staffing, (d) the potential for achieving further economies of scale, (e) operating expenses paid to third parties, and (f) the information furnished to investors, including the Fund’s shareholders.  


In considering the Sub-Advisory Agreement, the Board, including the Independent Trustees, did not identify any single factor as all-important or controlling, and the following summary does not detail all the matters considered. Matters considered by the Board, including the Independent Trustees, in connection with its approval of the Sub-Advisory Agreement include the following:

 

Benefits to Shareholders. The Board, including the Independent Trustees, considered the benefit to shareholders of investing in the Fund, which offers a variety of investment disciplines and provides for a variety of fund and shareholder services, and concluded that the Fund had the potential to benefit shareholders and that the risk statements in the Fund’s prospectus were commensurate with the potential for reward.

 

Nature and Quality of Other Services.  The Board, including the Independent Trustees, considered the nature and extent of the sub-adviser’s and the Fund’s past performance, as well as other factors relating to the Sub-Adviser’s track record with the Fund.


Expenses. The Board, including the Independent Trustees, considered the estimated Fund expense ratios, and expense ratios of a peer group of funds. It also considered the amount and nature of fees paid by shareholders.

 

Economies of Scale. The Board, including the Independent Trustees, considered whether there will be economies of scale with respect to the management of each Fund, whether there is potential for realization of any further economies of scale.

 

Profitability. The level of the sub-adviser’s profits in respect of the management of the respective Fund, including an extensive review of the methodology used in allocating costs to the management of the Fund. The Board, including the Independent Trustees, has concluded that the cost allocation methodology employed by the sub-adviser has a reasonable basis and is appropriate in light of all of the circumstances considered the profits realized by the sub-adviser in connection with the operation of the respective  Fund and whether the amount of profit is a fair entrepreneurial profit for the management of the Fund. It also considered the profits realized from non-fund businesses, which may benefit from or be related to a Fund's business.

 

Other Benefits to the Sub-Adviser. The character and amount of fees paid by a Fund and the Fund's shareholders for services provided by the sub-adviser, the allocation of fund brokerage to any brokers affiliated with the sub-adviser, payments under Rule 12b-1 plans in respect of the Fund, benefits to the sub-adviser from the use of "soft" commission dollars to pay for research and brokerage services, the revenues and profitability of the sub-adviser’s businesses other than their mutual fund business, as well as the intangible benefits that accrue to the sub-adviser and any affiliates by virtue of their relationship with the Fund.  

 

  Conclusion. Based on its evaluation of all material factors and assisted by the advice of independent counsel, the Board, including the Independent Trustees, concluded that the sub-advisory fee structure are fair and reasonable, and that the Sub-Advisory Agreements should be approved.
