Dynamic Funds 2011 Semiannual Report




Disclosure of Fund Expenses

For the Six Month Period October 1, 2010 to March 31, 2011 (Unaudited)

We believe it is important for you to understand the impact of fees regarding your investment. All mutual funds have operating expenses. As a shareholder of the Dynamic Infrastructure Fund, Dynamic Contrarian Advantage Fund, Dynamic Discovery Fund, Dynamic Gold & Precious Metals Fund, Dynamic U.S. Growth Fund, and Dynamic Energy Income Fund, and Dynamic Canadian Value Fund (each a "Fund", and collectively, the "Funds"), you incur ongoing costs, which include costs for investment advisory services, administrative services, shareholder services and shareholder reports (like this one), among others. Operating expenses, which are deducted from a fund's gross income, directly reduce the investment return of the Fund. A fund's expenses are expressed as a percentage of its average net assets. This figure is known as the expense ratio. The following examples are intended to help you understand the ongoing fees (in dollars) of investing in your Fund and to compare these costs with those of other mutual funds. The examples are based on an investment of $1,000 made at the beginning of the period shown and held for the entire period.

This table illustrates your Funds' costs in two ways:

Actual Fund Return: This section helps you to estimate the actual expenses, after any applicable fee waivers, that you paid over the period. The "Ending Account Value" shown is derived from each Fund's actual return for the period. The "Expense Ratio" column shows the period's annualized expense ratio and the "Expenses Paid During the Period" column shows the dollar amount that would have been paid by an investor who started with $1,000 in the Fund at the beginning of the period.

You may use the information here, together with your account value, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. To do so, simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the first line under the heading entitled "Expenses Paid During the Period."

Hypothetical 5% Return: This section is intended to help you compare your Fund's costs with those of other mutual funds. The "Ending Account Value" shown is derived from hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Fund's actual expense ratio and assumed rate of return. It assumes that the Fund had an annual return of 5% before expenses, but that the expense ratio is unchanged. In this case, because the return used is not the Fund's actual return, the results do not apply to your investment. This example is useful in making comparisons to other mutual funds because the Securities and Exchange Commission requires all mutual funds to calculate expenses based on an assumed 5% annual return. You can assess your Fund's costs by comparing this hypothetical example with the hypothetical examples that appear in shareholder reports of other funds.

Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight and help you compare your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transactional costs such as sales charges (loads), redemption fees, or exchange fees. The Funds had no sales charges or exchange fees, but these may be present in other funds to which you compare this data. Therefore, the hypothetical portions of the table are useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds.

Notes to Financial Statements

March 31, 2011 (Unaudited)

1.  Organization

The Dynamic Infrastructure Fund, Dynamic Contrarian Advantage Fund, Dynamic Discovery Fund, Dynamic Gold & Precious Metals Fund, Dynamic U.S. Growth Fund, Dynamic Energy Income Fund, and the Dynamic Canadian Value Fund (each a "Fund" and collectively the "Funds") are each a separate series of the DundeeWealth Funds (the "Trust"), a registered management investment company. The Trust is established as a Delaware statutory trust pursuant to an Agreement and Declaration of Trust ("Declaration of Trust") dated June 2, 2006, as amended and restated September 14, 2010. The Declaration of Trust permits the Trust to offer separate series of units of beneficial interest ("shares"). Each Fund is a separate mutual fund, and each share of a Fund represents an equal proportionate interest in that Fund. All consideration received by the Trust for shares of any Fund and all assets of such Fund belong solely to that fund and are subject to liabilities related thereto. The Funds are authorized to issue an unlimited number of shares and offer two classes of shares: Class I Shares and Class II Shares. As of March 31, 2011, Class II shares were not yet being offered to the public. The accompanying financial statements and financial highlights are those of the Dynamic Infrastructure Fund, Dynamic Contrarian Advantage Fund, Dynamic Discovery Fund, Dynamic Gold & Precious Metals Fund and Dynamic U.S. Growth Fund, which commenced investment operations on March 31, 2009, the Dynamic Energy Income Fund which commenced investment operations on August 14, 2009, and the Dynamic Canadian Value Fund which commenced investment operations on September 30, 2010. The financial statements of the remaining series in the Trust are presented in separate documents. The Funds are diversified portfolios as defined under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the "1940 Act") with the exception of the Dynamic Gold & Precious Metals Fund, Dynamic U.S. Growth Fund and Dynamic Energy Income Fund. Effective April 8, 2011, the Dynamic Contrarian Advantage Fund and Dynamic Discovery Fund will be non-diversified portfolios under the 1940 Act.

The Funds offer separate investment portfolios and have individual investment goals and strategy characteristics as follows:

Dynamic Infrastructure Fund – seeks long term capital appreciation and will invest, under normal market conditions, at least 80% of its assets in securities of publicly traded companies that hold infrastructure assets directly, as well as companies that own or manage infrastructure projects, or that are involved in the construction, development or maintenance of infrastructure assets.

Dynamic Contrarian Advantage Fund – seeks long term capital appreciation and will invest, under normal market conditions, primarily in equity securities of U.S., Canadian, and other foreign companies chosen using a value oriented investment approach.

Dynamic Discovery Fund – seeks long term capital appreciation and will invest, under normal market conditions, primarily in equity securities of U.S., Canadian, and other foreign companies, using a bottom-up approach, which emphasizes careful company specific analysis.

Dynamic Gold & Precious Metals Fund – seeks long-term capital appreciation and will invest, under normal market conditions, at least 80% of its assets in securities of companies which are engaged primarily in activities related to gold and various precious metals, including exploration, mining, development, fabrication, processing or distribution, in instruments that derive their value from the value of precious metals and in gold, silver, platinum and palladium in the form of bullion, coins and storage receipts.

Dynamic U.S. Growth Fund – seeks long term capital appreciation and will invest, under normal market conditions, at least 80% of its assets in securities of U.S. companies chosen according to a growth oriented investment approach.

Dynamic Energy Income Fund – seeks high income and long-term growth of capital and will invest, under normal market conditions, at least 80% of its assets in equity securities of energy and utility companies.

Dynamic Canadian Value Fund – seeks long term capital appreciation and will invest, under normal market conditions, at least 80% of its assets in securities of companies located in Canada.

It is expected that a significant portion of each Fund's assets will be held in omnibus and other institutional accounts, which typically hold shares for the benefit of other underlying investors. To the extent that an omnibus position redeems a large portion of its investment in a Fund, this could have a disruptive impact on the efficient implementation of the Fund's investment strategy and result in increased overall expenses for the remaining shareholders.

As of March 31, 2011, DundeeWealth US, LP (the "Adviser" or "DundeeWealth US") held approximately 87.40%, 96.66%, 56.21%, and 19.60% of the outstanding shares of the Dynamic Infrastructure Fund, Dynamic Contrarian Advantage Fund, Dynamic Discovery Fund, and Dynamic Canadian Value Fund, respectively, with the remaining outstanding shares held predominantly by omnibus or other institutional accounts.

Foreign Issuer Risks

Investments in the securities of foreign issuers may subject a Fund to investment risks that differ in some respects from those related to investments in securities of U.S. issuers. Such risks include future adverse political and economic developments, possible imposition of withholding taxes on income, possible seizure, nationalization or expropriation of foreign deposits, possible establishment of exchange controls or taxation at the source or greater fluctuation in value due to changes in exchange rates. Foreign issuers of securities often engage in business practices different from those of domestic issuers of similar securities, and there may be less information publicly available about foreign issuers. In addition, foreign issuers are, generally speaking, subject to less government supervision and regulation and different accounting treatment than are those in the U.S.

Concentration Risks

The Dynamic Infrastructure Fund will invest 25% or more of its total assets in infrastructure and infrastructure-related industries; the Dynamic Gold & Precious Metals Fund will invest more than 25% of its net assets in the securities issued by companies engaged generally in precious metals activities and in instruments that derive their value from the value of precious metals; and the Dynamic Energy Income Fund will invest 25% or more of its total assets in companies in energy and energy-related industries. Concentrations in a particular industry may cause a Fund to be more sensitive to economic changes or events occurring in those industries.

Non-Diversification Risks

Funds who are non-diversified portfolios under the 1940 Act will invest in a limited number of issuers. Therefore, these Funds' investment performance may be more volatile, as they may be more susceptible to risks associated with a single economic, political or regulatory event than funds that invest in a greater number of issuers.

2.  Significant Accounting Policies

The Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") has become the exclusive reference of authoritative United States of America ("U.S.") generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP") recognized by the FASB to be applied by nongovernmental entities. Rules and interpretive releases of the SEC under authority of federal laws are also sources of authoritative GAAP for SEC registrants. The ASC has superseded all existing non-SEC accounting and reporting standards. The following is a summary of significant accounting policies followed by the Funds in the preparation of their financial statements:

Security Valuation – Securities listed on a securities exchange, market or automated quotation system for which quotations are readily available (except for securities traded on NASDAQ), including securities traded over the counter, are valued at the last quoted sale price on the primary exchange or market (foreign or domestic) on which they are traded on valuation date (or at approximately 4:00pm Eastern time if a security's primary exchange is normally open at that time). If there is no such reported sale on the valuation date, securities are valued at the most recent quoted bid price. For a security that trades on multiple exchanges, the primary exchange will generally be considered to be the exchange on which the security is normally most actively traded. For securities traded on NASDAQ, the NASDAQ Official Closing Price will be used. Short-term debt securities with maturities of 60 days or less are carried at amortized cost, which approximates market value. Other debt securities are priced based upon valuations provided by recognized independent third party pricing agents. Such values generally reflect the last reported sales price if the security is actively traded.

Securities for which market quotations are not readily available are valued at fair value as determined in good faith by the Fair Value Pricing Committee using the Fair Value Pricing Procedures approved by the Board of Trustees.

Use of Estimates – The preparation of financial statements in accordance with GAAP in the U.S. requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities as of the date of the financial statements, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities as of the date of the financial statements and reported amounts of income and expenses during the period. Actual results could differ from those estimates and those differences could be significant.

Offering Costs – Offering costs have been incurred by the Funds. Offering costs consist of costs incurred to offer shares to the public and are accounted for as a deferred charge until operations begin and thereafter amortized to expense over twelve months on a straight-line basis.

Derivative Financial Instruments – The Funds may invest in various derivative financial instruments and engage in various portfolio investment strategies for the purpose of generating additional income, gaining exposure to underlying securities and/or hedging against currency risk. Losses may arise if the value of the contract decreases due to an unfavorable change in the price of the underlying security or if the counterparty does not perform its duties under the contract. Investing in certain derivative financial instruments entails certain execution, market, liquidity, hedging, and tax risks. Participation in the options or futures markets and in currency exchange transactions involves investment risks and transaction costs to which the Funds would not be subject absent the use of these strategies. If Goodman & Company NY, Ltd.'s (the "Sub-Adviser" or "Goodman") prediction of movements in the direction of the securities, foreign currency, and interest rate markets is inaccurate, the consequences to the Funds may leave the Funds in a worse position than if it had not used such strategies.

Derivative contracts held are not accounted for as hedging instruments under GAAP.

The Funds are subject to equity price risk, foreign currency exchange rate risk, and interest rate risk in the normal course of pursuing their investment objectives by investing in various derivative financial instruments, as described below and in the tables to follow.

Futures and Options on Futures – The Funds may use futures contracts for the purpose of gaining exposure to, or hedging against changes in the value of equities, interest rates or foreign currencies. Futures contracts provide for the future sale by one party and purchase by another party of a specified amount of a specific security or commodity at a specified future time and at a specified price. An option on a futures contract gives the purchaser the right, in exchange for a premium, to assume a position in a futures contract at a specified exercise price during the term of the option. Each Fund will reduce the risk that it will be unable to close out a futures contract by only entering into futures contracts that are traded on a national futures exchange regulated by the Commodities Futures Trading Commission ("CFTC").The Funds may use futures contracts and related options for bona fide hedging; attempting to offset changes in the value of securities held or expected to be acquired or be disposed of; attempting to minimize

fluctuations in foreign currencies; attempting to gain exposure to a particular market, index or instrument; or other risk management purposes. To the extent futures and /or options on futures are employed by the Funds, such use will be in accordance with Rule 4.5 of the Commodity Exchange Act ("CEA"). The Trust, on behalf of the Funds, has filed a notice of eligibility for exclusion from the definition of the term "commodity pool operator" in accordance with Rule 4.5 and therefore, the Funds are not subject to registration or regulation as a commodity pool operator under the CEA.

There are significant risks associated with the Funds' use of futures contracts and related options, including the following: (i) the success of a hedging strategy may depend on the Adviser's or Goodman's ability to predict movements in the prices of individual securities, fluctuations in markets and movements in interest rates, (ii) there may be an imperfect or no correlation between the changes in market value of the securities held by a Fund and the prices of futures and options on futures, (iii) there may not be a liquid secondary market for a futures contract or option, (iv) trading restrictions or limitations may be imposed by an exchange, and (v) government regulations may restrict trading in futures contracts and options on futures. In addition, some strategies reduce the Funds' exposure to price fluctuations, while others tend to increase its market exposure.

During the six months ended March 31, 2011, the Funds had no investments in futures contracts or options on futures.

Forward Foreign Exchange Contracts – The Funds did engage in forward foreign exchange contracts for the purpose of gaining exposure to, or hedging against, changes in the value of equities, interest rates or foreign currencies. Forward contracts and options thereon, unlike futures contracts, are not traded on exchanges and are not standardized; rather banks and dealers act as principals in these markets, negotiating each transaction on an individual basis. Forward and "cash" trading is substantially unregulated; there is no limitation on daily price movements and speculative position limits are not applicable. The principals who deal in the forward markets are not required to continue to make markets in the currencies or commodities they trade and these markets can experience periods of illiquidity, sometimes of significant duration. There have been periods during which certain participants in these markets have refused to quote prices for certain currencies or commodities or have quoted prices with an unusually wide spread between the price at which they were prepared to buy and that at which they were prepared to sell. Disruptions can occur in any market traded by the Adviser or Sub-Adviser due to unusually high trading volume, political intervention or other factors. The imposition of controls by governmental authorities might also limit such forward (and futures) trading to less than that which the Adviser or Sub-Adviser would otherwise desire, to the possible detriment of a Fund. Neither the CFTC nor banking authorities regulate forward currency through banks. In respect of such trading, a Fund is subject to the risk of bank failure or the inability or refusal by a bank to perform with respect to such contracts. Market illiquidity or disruption could result in major losses to a Fund.

During the six months ended March 31, 2011, the Dynamic Infrastructure Fund and Dynamic Energy Income Fund entered into forward foreign exchange contracts with RBC Dominion Securities, and the Dynamic Contrarian Fund and Dynamic Discovery Fund entered into forward foreign contracts with Barclays Capital.

The Dynamic Infrastructure Fund, Dynamic Contrarian Advantage Fund, Dynamic Discovery Fund, and Dynamic Energy Income Fund's volume of activity in forward foreign exchange contracts during the six months ended March 31, 2011 had an average monthly value of approximately $254,763, $88,184, $211,315, and $6,678,967, respectively. Forward foreign exchange contracts for the Dynamic Infrastructure Fund, Dynamic Contrarian Advantage Fund, Dynamic Discovery Fund, and Dynamic Energy Income Fund at March 31, 2011 are presented within the Schedule of Investments.

Options – The Funds may purchase or write call or put options on securities or indices for the purpose of generating additional income, gaining exposure to underlying securities and/or hedging against price movements of portfolio assets. Each Fund may trade and write put and call options on securities, securities indices and currencies, as the Sub-Adviser determines is appropriate in seeking the Fund's investment objective, and except as restricted by the Fund's investment limitations. A put option on a security gives the purchaser of the option the right to sell, and the writer of the option the obligation to buy, the underlying security at any time during the option period. A call option on a security gives the purchaser of the option the right to buy, and the writer of the option the obligation to sell, the underlying security at any time during the option period. The premium paid to the writer is the consideration for undertaking the obligations under the option contract.

Risks associated with options transactions include: (i) the success of a hedging strategy may depend on an ability to predict movements in the prices of individual securities, fluctuations in markets and movements in interest rates; (ii) there may be an imperfect correlation between the movement in prices of options and the securities underlying them; (iii) there may not be a liquid secondary market for options; and (iv) while the Fund will receive a premium when it writes covered call options, it may not participate fully in a rise in the market value of the underlying security.

During the six months ended March 31, 2011, the Dynamic Contrarian Advantage Fund and Dynamic Discovery Fund entered into option contracts with Bank of America Merrill Lynch and UBS Securities LLC.

The Dynamic Contrarian Advantage Fund and Dynamic Discovery Fund held options contracts through January 22, 2011, with an average monthly cost of approximately $7,410 and $7,320, respectively. At March 31, 2011, the Dynamic Contrarian Fund and Dynamic Discovery Fund had no investments in option contracts.

The Dynamic Contrarian Advantage Fund and Dynamic Discovery Fund held written options contracts through January 22, 2011, with an average monthly premium amount approximately $2,079 and $2,040, respectively. Please refer to Note 7 for option activity during the six months ended March 31, 2011.

Foreign Currency Translations – The books and records of the Funds are maintained in U.S. dollars. Foreign currencies, investments, and other assets and liabilities are translated into U.S. dollars at the current exchange rates as provided by an appropriate pricing service. Purchases and sales of investment securities, income, and expenses are translated at the exchange rate prevailing on the respective dates of such transactions. Forward currency exchange contracts will be valued using interpolated forward exchange rates. Unrealized gains and losses that result from changes in foreign exchange rates and/or changes in market prices of securities have been included in unrealized appreciation/depreciation on investments and foreign currency translations. Net realized foreign currency gains and losses resulting from changes in exchange rates include foreign currency gains and losses between trade date and settlement date on investment securities transactions, foreign currency transactions, and the difference between the amounts of interest and dividends recorded on the books of the Funds and the amounts actually received. The portion of foreign currency gains and losses related to fluctuation in exchange rates between the initial trade date and subsequent sale trade date is included in realized gain/loss on investments.

Security Transactions and Related Investment Income – Security transactions are accounted for on the date the security is purchased or sold (trade date). Dividend income is recognized on the ex-dividend date, and interest income is recognized on an accrual basis. Realized gains and losses on the sales of investment securities are measured using the identified cost method.

Expenses – Expenses attributable to a specific Fund shall be payable solely out of the assets of that Fund. Expenses not attributable to a specific Fund are allocated across all of the funds in the Trust on the basis of relative net assets or the nature of the services performed and the relative applicability to each fund.

Net Asset Value Per Share – The net asset value ("NAV") per share for each class of shares of a Fund is the value of that class's portion of all of the net assets of the Fund. Each Fund calculates its NAV once each business day as of the regularly-scheduled close of normal trading on the New York Stock Exchange (normally, 4:00pm Eastern time).

Distributions to Shareholders – The Funds distribute their net investment income and make distributions of net realized capital gains, if any, at least annually. The Dynamic Energy Income Fund expects to declare and pay dividends, if any, quarterly, however it may declare and pay dividends more or less frequently.

Redemption Fees – Each Fund imposes a redemption fee of 2.00% on shares that are redeemed within 90 days of purchase. The redemption fee will be calculated as a percentage of the NAV of total redemption proceeds. Those shares held the longest will be treated as having been redeemed first. The redemption fee is deducted from the proceeds otherwise payable to the redeeming shareholder. The redemption fees, if any, returned to the assets of a Fund are reflected in the Statements of Changes in Net Assets.

3.  Fair Value Measurements

The inputs and valuation techniques used to measure fair value of the Funds' investments are summarized into three levels as described in the hierarchy below:

Level 1:  Quoted prices in active markets for identical securities

Level 2:  Other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.)

Level 3:  Significant unobservable inputs (including the Funds' own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments)

The inputs or methodology used in valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities.

Notes to Financial Statements
(Continued)

In January 2010, FASB issued amended guidance to improve disclosure about fair value measurements which requires additional disclosures about transfers between Levels 1 and 2 and separate disclosures about purchases, sales, issuances, and settlements in the reconciliation of fair value measurements using significant unobservable inputs (Level 3). FASB also clarified existing disclosure requirements relating to the levels of disaggregation of fair value measurement and inputs and valuation techniques used to measure fair value. Disclosures about purchases, sales, issuances, and settlements in the rollforward of activity in Level 3 fair value measurements are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2010 and for interim periods within those fiscal years. Management is currently evaluating the impact of the additional disclosure requirements on the Funds' financial statements. The remainder of the amended guidance is effective for financial statements for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2009 and interim periods within those fiscal years. Management has adopted the amended guidance and determined that there was no material impact to the Funds' financial statements except for additional disclosures made in the notes.

4.  Investment Advisory Fees and Other Transactions

On February 1, 2011, Dundee Corporation, the largest shareholder of DundeeWealth US's parent company, DundeeWealth, sold its ownership interest in DundeeWealth to the Bank of Nova Scotia (the "Transaction"). The Transaction constituted an assignment, automatically terminating the then current investment management agreement between DundeeWealth US and the Trust on behalf of the Funds and the sub-advisory agreement between DundeeWealth US and Goodman on behalf of the Funds (together, the "Prior Agreements") in accordance with the 1940 Act. In anticipation of the Transaction, the Board of Trustees approved interim investment management and sub-advisory agreements (the "Interim Agreements") and a new investment management agreement (the "Advisory Agreement") and a new sub-advisory agreement (the "Sub-Advisory Agreement" and, together with the Advisory Agreement, the "New Agreements"). The Interim Agreements provided that, during the interim period between the date of the Transaction and until shareholder approval of the New Agreements was obtained at a special meeting of shareholders of the Funds held on April 8, 2011, DundeeWealth US and Goodman were able to continue to act as investment adviser and sub-adviser to the Funds on substantially the same terms and with the same fee structure as the Prior Agreements, except that the compensation earned by DundeeWealth US and Goodman was held in interest bearing escrow accounts until after shareholder approval of the New Agreements on April 8, 2011. Information concerning the Board of Trustees' considerations regarding the Interim and New Agreements is provided under Note 10 and the voting results of the special meeting of shareholders of the Funds is provided under Note 11.

Under the Advisory Agreement, DundeeWealth US is entitled to receive a fee calculated daily and payable monthly at an annual rate of the average daily net assets of the Funds. As investment adviser to the Funds, DundeeWealth US has the ultimate responsibility over Goodman and is responsible for the investment performance of the Funds. The annual rates paid are as follows:

Sub-advisory fees paid to Goodman under the Sub-Advisory Agreement are paid by DundeeWealth US, not out of the Funds' assets. In accordance with the terms of the Advisory Agreement and Sub-Advisory Agreement, DundeeWealth US and Goodman provide a continuous investment program for the Funds' portfolios, and oversee the administration of all aspects relating to the Funds' business and affairs.

For its services as investment sub-adviser to the Funds, Goodman is entitled to receive investment sub-advisory fees from DundeeWealth US at an annualized rate, calculated daily based on the average daily net assets of the Funds and paid monthly. Goodman will be paid 0.45% on the first $150,000,000 and 0.75% on the balance of the average daily net assets for the Dynamic Infrastructure Fund, Dynamic Discovery Fund, Dynamic Gold & Precious Metals Fund, and the Dynamic Energy Income Fund. Goodman will be paid 0.35% on the first $150,000,000 and 0.65% on the balance of the average daily net assets for the Dynamic Contrarian Advantage Fund and the Dynamic Canadian Value Fund and 0.25% on the first $150,000,000 and 0.55% on the balance of the average daily net assets for the Dynamic U.S. Growth Fund.

The Adviser has contractually agreed to waive fees and reimburse expenses in order to keep the Funds' total annual operating expenses from exceeding the expense caps shown above for the Class I shares of the Funds until March 13, 2012 ("Expense Limitation"). The Adviser may recapture any such waivers or reimbursements for a period not to exceed three years from the date on which the waiver or reimbursement is made as long as Expense Limitations are maintained. For the six months ended March 31, 2011, the Adviser reimbursed the Funds as follows: $48,505 for the Dynamic Infrastructure Fund, $47,664 for the Dynamic Contrarian Advantage Fund, $48,159 for the Dynamic Discovery Fund, $64,183 for the Dynamic Gold & Precious Metals Fund, $61,537 for the Dynamic U.S. Growth Fund, $52,059 for

8.  Federal Income Taxes

The Funds intend to qualify for treatment as regulated investment companies under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and will distribute all of their taxable income. In addition, by distributing in each calendar year substantially all their net investment income, capital gains and certain other amounts, if any, the Funds will not be subject to federal income or excise tax.

Under the current tax law, capital losses realized after October 31 and prior to the Funds' fiscal year end may be deferred and treated as occurring on the first day of the following fiscal year. For the year ended September 30, 2010, Dynamic Infrastructure Fund, Dynamic Gold & Precious Metal Fund, and Dynamic Energy Income Fund had deferred currency losses of $2,646, $36,204, and $490, respectively.

As of September 30, 2010, the Dynamic Gold & Precious Metals Fund utilized a capital loss carryforward of $356.

The Funds are required to evaluate tax positions taken or expected to be taken in the course of preparing the Funds' tax returns to determine whether the tax positions are "more-likely-than-not" of being sustained by the applicable tax authority. Income tax and related interest and penalties would be recognized by the Funds as tax expense in the Statements of Operations if the tax positions were deemed not to meet the more-likely-than-not threshold. For the six months ended March 31, 2011, the Funds did not incur any income tax, interest, or penalties. As of March 31, 2011, the Adviser has reviewed all open tax years and concluded that there was no impact to the Funds' net assets or results of operations. Tax years ended September 30, 2009 through September 30, 2010 remain subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service and state taxing authorities. The Dynamic Canadian Value Fund does not have an open tax year for September 30, 2009. On an ongoing basis, the Adviser will monitor the Funds' tax positions to determine if adjustments to this conclusion are necessary.

9.  Indemnifications

Under the Trust's organizational documents, its Officers and Trustees are indemnified against certain liability arising out of the performance of their duties to the Trust and the Funds. In addition, in the normal course of business, the Funds enter into contracts with its vendors and others that provide general indemnifications. The Funds' maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown, as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Funds.

10.  Board Considerations Regarding Investment Management Agreement and Sub-Advisory Agreement

As required by the 1940 Act and in anticipation of the Transaction, at a meeting held on December 15, 2010, the Board of Trustees, including all of the Trustees who are not "interested persons" of the Trust ("Independent Trustees"), unanimously approved (i) an interim investment management agreement between the Adviser and the Trust on behalf of the Funds and an interim sub-advisory agreement between the Adviser and Goodman (together, the "Interim Agreements") and (ii) a new investment management agreement between the Adviser and the Trust on behalf of the Funds and a new sub-advisory agreement between the Adviser and Goodman (together, the "New Agreements"). The Interim Agreements provided that, during the interim period between the date of the Transaction and until shareholder approval of the New Agreements, the Adviser would continue to act as investment manager to the Funds and Goodman would continue to act as sub-adviser on substantially the same terms and with the same fee structure as the Prior Agreements, except that the compensation earned by the Adviser and Goodman would be held in interest bearing escrow accounts until shareholder approval of the

Dynamic Funds 2011 Semiannual Report
38



Notes to Financial Statements
(Continued)

New Agreements. Subsequently, at a meeting held on March 24, 2011, the Board, including a majority of the Independent Trustees, unanimously re-approved the New Agreements.

In determining whether to approve the Interim Agreements and New Agreements at the meeting held on December 15, 2010 and whether to approve the New Agreements at the meeting held on March 24, 2011, the Board exercised its business judgment and considered information about the Adviser and certain additional factors described below that the Board deemed relevant. In their deliberations, the Trustees did not rank the importance of any particular piece of information or factor considered, and it is presumed that each Trustee attributed different weights to the various factors. The following summary details the materials and factors that the Board considered, and the conclusions the Board reached, in approving the Interim Agreements and New Agreements.

(1)  The Nature, Extent and Quality of Services Provided by the Adviser and Sub-Adviser.

The Board considered the scope and quality of services provided by the Adviser and Goodman, particularly the qualifications and capabilities of the personnel responsible for providing services to the Funds. The Trustees noted that, in addition to managing the investment program of the Funds, the Adviser and Goodman provide, at their expense, personnel responsible for supervising the provision of compliance, administrative services, accounting and related services. The Trustees also considered that the Adviser pays for all compensation of officers of the Trust that are also employees of the Adviser.

The Board considered information it believed necessary to assess the stability of the Adviser and Goodman as a result of the Transaction and to assess the ongoing nature and quality of services to be provided to the Funds by the Adviser and Goodman following the closing of the Transaction. The Trustees also considered the details of the anticipated ownership structure of the Adviser and Goodman following the closing of the Transaction. The Board noted the anticipated long-term nature of the new ownership, and increasing benefits to management from the growth of assets under management, which should help the Adviser and Goodman retain key management and investment personnel.

The Trustees considered information addressing the projected benefits to the Adviser and Goodman expected to result from the Transaction. It was noted that management had indicated that Goodman would remain an independent operating unit of Scotiabank. Management also expected that the current management group would remain intact. The Trustees reviewed the Adviser's and Goodman's actions to minimize the likelihood that the Adviser or Goodman would have any departures of key management and/or investment personnel and whether compensation and other benefits expected to be offered by the Adviser and Goodman in light of the Transaction would be adequate to attract and retain high-caliber investment and other relevant professional employees. Management indicated that the current portfolio managers had been contacted, and that no personnel defections were expected. Management noted that portfolio manager compensation was tied to performance and assets, which provide financial incentives to remain in their current positions.

The Board also considered the integration of Scotiabank's asset management business with that of Goodman and DundeeWealth, Inc. At the March 24, 2011 meeting, management indicated that Scotiabank has determined to integrate its current asset management business under the leadership of David Goodman of DundeeWealth, Inc. which will provide continuity of leadership for DundeeWealth, Inc. Goodman and the Adviser. The Board also considered Scotiabank, which is one of the 5 largest banks in Canada and is its fasting growing as well as its reputation for being well-managed and conservative. In addition, the Board considered the Adviser's efforts both initially and on an ongoing basis to respond to questions from clients, potential clients and other sub-advisers regarding the Transaction and management's representation at the March 24, 2011 meeting that the Funds have not experienced client redemptions as a result of the Transaction.

On the basis of this evaluation, the Board concluded that the nature, quality and extent of services provided by the Adviser and Goodman were satisfactory.

(2)  The Performance of the Funds and the Adviser and Sub-Adviser.

The Trustees considered the investment experience of the Adviser and Goodman. The Trustees considered the performance of each Fund as well as the historical performance of other vehicles managed by Goodman using investment strategies substantially similar to those of the Funds. The Trustees further reviewed the performance information supplied and how the Funds ranked versus their respective peer groups over various time periods. At the March 24, 2011 meeting, the Board considered the one-year performance of the Dynamic Gold & Precious Metals and Dynamic U.S. Growth Fund which ranked in the 1st percentile (or best performer) of their respective peer groups. The Board further noted that, with the exception of the Dynamic Contrarian Advantage Fund and Dynamic Infrastructure Fund, all of the remaining Funds have one-year returns that rank in the first quartile of their respective peer group.

(3)  Cost of Services Provided and Profits Realized by the Adviser and Sub-Adviser.

In connection with the Trustees' consideration of the level of the advisory fees, the Trustees considered a number of factors. With respect to each Fund, the Board's analysis of the Fund's advisory fee and estimated expenses included a discussion and review of data concerning the current fee and expense ratios of the Fund compared to a peer group. The Board considered the Funds' overall gross expense ratios and net expense ratios, in light of the Adviser's contractual expense limitation agreement, versus their

Dynamic Funds 2011 Semiannual Report
39



Notes to Financial Statements
(Continued)

respective peers. The information provided to the Board indicated that while the Funds' overall gross expense ratios are high as compared to their respective Morningstar peers; however, the net expense ratios of the Dynamic Contrarian Advantage Fund, Dynamic Discovery Fund, Dynamic Energy Income Fund, Dynamic Infrastructure Fund, Dynamic U.S. Growth Fund and Dynamic Canadian Value Fund each ranked in the first quartile (or least expensive), and the Dynamic Gold & Precious Metals Fund ranked in the third quartile versus their respective Morningstar peer groups. Management noted that the Adviser did not manage any institutional separate accounts. The Board also noted the Adviser's agreement to limit the total expenses of the Funds and that these expense limitations would not be affected by the Transaction. The Board also considered fees charged by Goodman for other similarly managed accounts and that the fees charged by Goodman for its services to the Funds are lower. The Board considered the Adviser's and Goodman's profitability. The Board also noted that each sub-adviser's fees, including Goodman's fees, are paid entirely by the Adviser so that no additional expenses would be borne by shareholders for the engagement of a sub-adviser.

(4)  The Extent to Which Economies of Scale Will be Realized as the Fund Grows and Whether Fee Levels Reflect Those Economies of Scale.

The Trustees considered the extent to which economies of scale were expected to be realized relative to fee levels as the Funds' assets grow, and whether the advisory and sub-advisory fee levels reflect these economies of scale for the benefit of shareholders. The Board considered that the Adviser anticipates that the Funds will realize economies of scale as asset levels grow, subject to the Adviser's right to recapture its prior waived fees or reimbursed expenses relating to the Funds. The Trustees also considered the duration of the current fee waiver agreements, noting that the Adviser's contractual expense limitation agreement continues until March 13, 2012 for the Funds.

(5)  Ancillary Benefits and Other Factors.

In addition to the above factors, the Trustees also discussed other benefits received by the Adviser and Goodman from their management of the Funds, including, without limitation, possible soft dollar benefits and the ability to market their advisory services for similar products in the future. The Trustees also considered the letter agreements entered into between the Adviser and each sub-adviser which, subject to applicable law and fiduciary duties, could in certain circumstances, allow the Adviser to receive compensation from a sub-adviser in the event a Fund is reorganized out of the Trust. The Board considered management's assertion that certain fall-out benefits could ultimately accrue to Scotiabank such as increased product for various distribution channels and the use of Scotiabank's capital markets capabilities. The Board concluded that the advisory fees were reasonable in light of these fall-out benefits.

(6)  Section 15(f) and Rule 15a-4 of the 1940 Act.

At the December 15, 2010 meeting, the Trustees also considered whether the arrangements between the Adviser and the Funds comply with the conditions of Section 15(f) of the 1940 Act. Section 15(f) provides a non-exclusive safe harbor for an investment adviser to an investment company or any of its affiliated persons to receive any amount or benefit in connection with a change in control of the investment adviser so long as two conditions are met. First, for a period of three years after closing of the transaction, at least 75% of the board members of the Trust cannot be "interested persons" (as defined in the 1940 Act) of the investment adviser or predecessor adviser. Second, an "unfair burden" must not be imposed upon the Trust as a result of the transaction or any express or implied terms, conditions or understandings applicable thereto. The term "unfair burden" is defined in Section 15(f) to include any arrangement during the two-year period after the closing of the transaction whereby the investment adviser (or predecessor or successor adviser) or any interested person of any such investment adviser, receives or is entitled to receive any compensation, directly or indirectly, from the Trust or its shareholders (other than fees for bona fide investment advisory or other services) or from any person in connection with the purchase or sale of securities or other property to, from or on behalf of the Trust (other than bona fide ordinary compensation as principal underwriter for the Trust).

In connection with the first condition of Section 15(f), the Trustees noted that at least 75% of the Trustees are currently not "interested persons" (as defined in the 1940 Act) of the Adviser in compliance with this provision of Section 15(f). With respect to the second condition of Section 15(f), the Adviser has represented that the Transaction will not have an economic impact on the Adviser's ability to provide services to the Funds and no fee increases are contemplated and that, the Transaction will not result in an "unfair burden" (as defined in Section 15(f)) during the two-year period following the closing of the Transaction. The Adviser has represented that neither the Adviser nor any interested person of the Adviser will receive any compensation from the Trust or its shareholders, except as permitted pursuant to Section 15(f).

The Board also considered the requirements of Rule 15a-4. Management represented to the Board that the Transaction complies with all the requirements of Rule 15a-4.

Conclusion

The Board of Trustees, and separately all of the Independent Trustees, concluded that the fees payable under the Interim Agreements and New Agreements were fair and reasonable with respect to the services that the Adviser and Goodman would provide, in light of the

Dynamic Funds 2011 Semiannual Report
40



Notes to Financial Statements
(Continued)

factors described above that the Board deemed relevant. The Board based its decision on an evaluation of all these factors as a whole and did not consider any one factor as all-important or controlling.

11.  Subsequent Events

(1) On April 8, 2011, the Funds held a special meeting of shareholders to:

(2) approve a new sub-advisory agreement between DundeeWealth US and Goodman on behalf of the Funds;

(2) On May 25, 2011, PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP (PwC) resigned as independent auditor for the Funds as a result of an independence conflict resulting from the Transaction (discussed under Note 4). KPMG LLP (KPMG) was selected as the Funds' independent auditor. The Funds' selection of KPMG as its independent auditor was recommended by the Funds' audit committee and was approved by the Funds' Board of Trustees on May 25, 2011.

     The report of the financial statements audited by PwC for the Funds for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2010 did not contain an adverse opinion or disclaimer of opinion, and was not qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope or accounting principles. During the fiscal year ended September 30, 2010 and through May 25, 2011 there were no disagreements between the Funds and PwC on any matters of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedures, which disagreements, if not resolved to the satisfaction of PwC would have caused it to make reference to the subject matter of the disagreements in connection with its report on the financial statements of such year.

Management has evaluated the impact on the Funds of all subsequent events through the date the financial statements were issued and has determined that there were no additional subsequent events requiring recognition or disclosure in the financial statements.

Disclosure of Fund Expenses

For the Six Month Period October 1, 2010 to March 31, 2011 (Unaudited)

We believe it is important for you to understand the impact of fees regarding your investment. All mutual funds have operating expenses. As a shareholder of the JOHCM International Select Fund (the "Fund"), you incur ongoing costs, which include costs for investment advisory services, administrative services, shareholder services and shareholder reports (like this one), among others. Operating expenses, which are deducted from a fund's gross income, directly reduce the investment return of the Fund. A fund's expenses are expressed as a percentage of its average net assets. This figure is known as the expense ratio. The following examples are intended to help you understand the ongoing fees (in dollars) of investing in your Fund and to compare these costs with those of other mutual funds. The examples are based on an investment of $1,000 made at the beginning of the period shown and held for the entire period.

This table illustrates your Fund's costs in two ways:

Actual Fund Return: This section helps you to estimate the actual expenses, after any applicable fee waivers, that you paid over the period. The "Ending Account Value" shown is derived from the Fund's actual return for the period. The "Expense Ratio" column shows the period's annualized expense ratio and the "Expenses Paid During the Period" column shows the dollar amount that would have been paid by an investor who started with $1,000 in the Fund at the beginning of the period.

You may use the information here, together with your account value, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. To do so, simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the first line under the heading entitled "Expenses Paid During the Period."

Hypothetical 5% Return: This section is intended to help you compare your Fund's costs with those of other mutual funds. The "Ending Account Value" shown is derived from hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Fund's actual expense ratio and assumed rate of return. It assumes that the Fund had an annual return of 5% before expenses, but that the expense ratio is unchanged. In this case, because the return used is not the Fund's actual return, the results do not apply to your investment. This example is useful in making comparisons to other mutual funds because the Securities and Exchange Commission requires all mutual funds to calculate expenses based on an assumed 5% annual return. You can assess your Fund's costs by comparing this hypothetical example with the hypothetical examples that appear in shareholder reports of other funds.

Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight and help you compare your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transactional costs such as sales charges (loads), redemption fees, or exchange fees. The Fund has no sales charges or exchange fees, but these may be present in other funds to which you compare this data. Therefore, the hypothetical portions of the table are useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds.

Notes to Financial Statements

March 31, 2011 (Unaudited)

1.  Organization

The JOHCM International Select Fund (the "Fund") is a separate series of the DundeeWealth Funds (the "Trust"), a registered management investment company. The Trust is established as a Delaware statutory trust pursuant to an Agreement and Declaration of Trust ("Declaration of Trust") dated June 2, 2006, as amended and restated September 14, 2010. The Declaration of Trust permits the Trust to offer separate series of units of beneficial interest ("shares"). The Fund is a separate mutual fund, and each share of the Fund represents an equal proportionate interest in the Fund. All consideration received by the Trust for shares of any fund and all assets of such fund belong solely to that fund and are subject to liabilities related thereto. The Fund is authorized to issue an unlimited number of shares and to offer two classes of shares: Class I Shares and Class II Shares. The accompanying financial statements and financial highlights are those of the Fund, which commenced investment operations on July 29, 2009. Class II Shares of the Fund commenced operations as of March 31, 2010. The financial statements of the remaining series in the Trust are presented in separate documents.

The Fund seeks long-term capital appreciation and invests in equity securities of foreign companies of any size, including small and mid capitalization companies, and in emerging market countries. Under normal market conditions, the Fund invests at least 80% of its assets in securities of companies headquartered outside of the United States.

It is expected that a significant portion of the Fund's assets will be held in omnibus and other institutional accounts, which typically hold shares for the benefit of other underlying investors. To the extent that an omnibus position redeems a large portion of its investment in the Fund, this could have a disruptive impact on the efficient implementation of the Fund's investment strategy and result in increased overall expenses for the remaining shareholders.

Foreign Issuers Risks

Investments in the securities of foreign issuers may subject the Fund to investment risks that differ in some respects from those related to investments in securities of U.S. issuers. Such risks include future adverse political and economic developments, possible imposition of withholding taxes on income, possible seizure, nationalization or expropriation of foreign deposits, possible establishment of exchange controls or taxation at the source or greater fluctuation in value due to changes in exchange rates. Foreign issuers of securities often engage in business practices different from those of domestic issuers of similar securities, and there may be less information publicly available about foreign issuers. In addition, foreign issuers are, generally speaking, subject to less government supervision and regulation and different accounting treatment than are those in the U.S.

The Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") has become the exclusive reference of authoritative United States of America ("U.S.") generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP") recognized by the FASB to be applied by nongovernmental entities. Rules and interpretive releases of the SEC under authority of federal laws are also sources of authoritative GAAP for SEC registrants. The ASC has superseded all existing non-SEC accounting and reporting standards. The following is a summary of significant accounting policies followed by the Fund in the preparation of its financial statements:

Security Valuation – Securities listed on a securities exchange, market or automated quotation system for which quotations are readily available (except for securities traded on NASDAQ), including securities traded over the counter, are valued at the last quoted sale price on the primary exchange or market (foreign or domestic) on which they are traded on valuation date (or at approximately 4:00pm Eastern time if a security's primary exchange is normally open at that time). If there is no such reported sale on the valuation date, securities are valued at the most recent quoted bid price. For a security that trades on multiple exchanges, the primary exchange will generally be considered to be the exchange on which the security is normally most actively traded. For securities traded on NASDAQ, the NASDAQ Official Closing Price will be used. Short-term debt securities with maturities of 60 days or less are carried at amortized cost, which approximates market value. Other debt securities are priced based upon valuations provided by recognized independent third party pricing agents. Such values generally reflect the last reported sales price if the security is actively traded.

Securities for which market quotations are not readily available are valued at fair value as determined in good faith by the Fair Value Pricing Committee using the Fair Value Pricing Procedures approved by the Board of Trustees.

Use of Estimates – The preparation of financial statements in accordance with GAAP in the U.S requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities as of the date of the financial statements, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities as of the date of the financial statements and reported amounts of income and expenses during the period. Actual results could differ from those estimates and those differences could be significant.

Derivative Financial Instruments – The Fund may invest in various derivative financial instruments and engage in various portfolio investment strategies for the purpose of generating additional income, gaining exposure to underlying securities and/or hedging against currency risk. Losses may arise if the value of the contract decreases due to an unfavorable change in the price of the underlying security or if the counterparty does not perform its duties under the contract. Investing in certain derivative financial instruments entails certain execution, market, liquidity, hedging, and tax risks. Participation in the options or futures markets and in currency exchange transactions involves investment risks and transaction costs to which the Fund would not be subject absent the use of these strategies. If JO Hambro Capital Management Ltd.'s (the "Sub-Adviser" or "JO Hambro") prediction of movements in the direction of the securities, foreign currency, and interest rate markets is inaccurate, the consequences to the Fund may leave the Fund in a worse position than if it had not used such strategies.

Notes to Financial Statements

March 31, 2011 (Unaudited) (Continued)

Derivative contracts are not accounted for as hedging instruments under GAAP.

The Fund is subject to equity price risk and foreign currency exchange rate risk in the normal course of pursuing its investment objectives by investing in various derivative financial instruments, as described below and in the tables to follow.

Futures and Options on Futures – The Fund may use futures contracts for the purpose of gaining exposure to, or hedging against changes in the value of equities, interest rates or foreign currencies. An option on a futures contract gives the purchaser the right, in exchange for a premium, to assume a position in a futures contract at a specified exercise price during the term of the option.

During the six months ended March 31, 2011, the Fund had no investments in futures contracts or options on futures.

Forward Foreign Exchange Contracts – The Fund may engage in forward foreign exchange contracts for the purpose of gaining exposure to, or hedging against, changes in the value of equities, interest rates or foreign currencies.

During the six months ended March 31, 2011, the Fund had no investments in forward foreign exchange contracts.

Options – The Fund may purchase or write call or put options on securities or indices for the purpose of generating additional income, gaining exposure to underlying securities and/or hedging against price movements of portfolio assets. The Fund may trade and write put and call options on securities, securities indices and currencies, as the Sub-Adviser determines is appropriate in seeking the Fund's investment objective, and except as restricted by the Fund's investment limitations.

During the six months ended March 31, 2011, the Fund had no investments in options.

Foreign Currency Translations – The books and records of the Fund are maintained in U.S. dollars. Foreign currencies, investments, and other assets and liabilities are translated into U.S. dollars at the current exchange rates as provided by an appropriate pricing service. Purchases and sales of investment securities, income, and expenses are translated at the exchange rate prevailing on the respective dates of such transactions. Forward currency exchange contracts will be valued using interpolated forward exchange rates. Unrealized gains and losses that result from changes in foreign exchange rates and/or changes in market prices of securities have been included in unrealized appreciation/depreciation on investments and foreign currency translations. Net realized foreign currency gains and losses resulting from changes in exchange rates include foreign currency gains and losses between trade date and settlement date on investment securities transactions, foreign currency transactions, and the difference between the amounts of interest and dividends recorded on the books of the Fund and the amounts actually received. The portion of foreign currency gains and losses related to fluctuation in exchange rates between the initial trade date and subsequent sale trade date is included in realized gain/loss on investments.

Security Transactions and Related Investment Income – Security transactions are accounted for on the date the security is purchased or sold (trade date). Dividend income is recognized on the ex-dividend date, and interest income is recognized on an accrual basis. Realized gains and losses on the sales of investment securities are measured using the identified cost method.

Expenses – Expenses attributable to the Fund shall be payable solely out of the assets of the Fund. Expenses not attributable specifically to a fund are allocated across all of the funds in the Trust on the basis of relative net assets or the nature of the services performed and the relative applicability to each fund.

Net Asset Value Per Share – The net asset value ("NAV") per share for each class of shares of the Fund is the value of that class's portion of all of the net assets of the Fund. The Fund calculates its NAV once each business day as of the regularly-scheduled close of normal trading on the New York Stock Exchange (normally, 4:00pm Eastern time).

Distributions to Shareholders – The Fund distributes its net investment income and makes distributions of net realized capital gains, if any, at least annually.

Redemption Fees – The Fund imposes a redemption fee of 2.00% on shares that are redeemed within 90 days of purchase. The redemption fee will be calculated as a percentage of the NAV of total redemption proceeds. Those shares held the longest will be treated as having been redeemed first. The redemption fee is deducted from the proceeds otherwise payable to the redeeming shareholder. The redemption fees, if any, returned to the assets of the Fund are reflected in the Statement of Changes in Net Assets.

3.  Fair Value Measurements

The inputs and valuation techniques used to measure fair value of the Fund's investments are summarized into three levels as described in the hierarchy below:

Level 1:  Quoted prices in active markets for identical securities

Level 2:  Other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.)

Level 3:  Significant unobservable inputs (including the Fund's own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments)

The inputs or methodology used in valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities.

The Fund did not have significant transfers between Level 1 and Level 2 during the six months ended March 31, 2011.

There were no Level 3 investments held at March 31, 2011 or September 30, 2010.

To adjust for the time difference between local market close and the calculation of the NAV, the Fund utilizes fair value model prices for international equities provided by an independent service resulting in a Level 2 classification.

In January 2010, FASB issued amended guidance to improve disclosure about fair value measurements which requires additional disclosures about transfers between Levels 1 and 2 and separate disclosures about purchases, sales, issuances, and settlements in the reconciliation of fair value measurements using significant unobservable inputs (Level 3). FASB also clarified existing disclosure requirements relating to the levels of disaggregation of fair value measurement and inputs and valuation techniques used to measure fair value. Disclosures about purchases, sales, issuances, and settlements in the rollforward of activity in Level 3 fair value measurements are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2010 and for interim periods within those fiscal years. Management is currently evaluating the impact of the additional disclosure requirements on the Fund's financial statements. The remainder of the amended guidance is effective for financial statements for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2009 and interim periods within those fiscal years. Management has adopted the amended guidance and determined that there was no material impact to the Fund's financial statements except for additional disclosures made in the notes.

4.  Investment Advisory Fees and Other Transactions

On February 1, 2011, Dundee Corporation, the largest shareholder of DundeeWealth US's parent company, DundeeWealth, sold its ownership interest in DundeeWealth to the Bank of Nova Scotia (the "Transaction"). The Transaction constituted an assignment, automatically terminating the then current investment management agreement between DundeeWealth US and the Trust on behalf of the Fund and the sub-advisory agreement between DundeeWealth US and JO Hambro on behalf of the Fund (together, the "Prior Agreements") in accordance with the 1940 Act. In anticipation of the Transaction, the Board of Trustees approved interim investment management and sub-advisory agreements (the "Interim Agreements") and a new investment management agreement (the "Advisory Agreement") and a new sub-advisory agreement (the "Sub-Advisory Agreement" and, together with the Advisory Agreement, the "New Agreements"). The Interim Agreements provided that, during the interim period between the date of the Transaction and until shareholder approval of the New Agreements was obtained at a special meeting of shareholders of the Funds held on April 8, 2011, DundeeWealth US and JO Hambro were able to continue to act as investment adviser and sub-adviser to the Fund on substantially the same terms and with the same fee structure as the Prior Agreements, except that the compensation earned by DundeeWealth US and JO Hambro was held in interest bearing escrow accounts until after shareholder approval of the New Agreements on April 8, 2011. Information concerning the Board of Trustees' considerations regarding the Interim and New Agreements is provided under Note 11 and the voting results of the special meeting of shareholders of the Fund is provided under Note 12.

Under the Advisory Agreement, DundeeWealth US is entitled to receive a fee calculated daily and payable monthly at an annual rate of 0.85% of the average daily net assets of the Fund. As investment adviser to the Fund, DundeeWealth US has the ultimate responsibility over JO Hambro and is responsible for the investment performance of the Fund.

Sub-advisory fees paid to JO Hambro under the Sub-Advisory Agreement are paid by DundeeWealth US, not out of the Fund's assets. In accordance with the terms of the Advisory Agreement and Sub-Advisory Agreement, DundeeWealth US and JO Hambro provide a continuous investment program for the Fund's portfolio, and oversee the administration of all aspects relating to the Fund's business and affairs.

For its services as investment sub-adviser to the Fund, JO Hambro is entitled to receive investment sub-advisory fees from DundeeWealth US at an annualized rate, calculated daily based on the average daily net assets of the Fund and paid monthly. JO Hambro will be paid 0.40% on the first $30,000,000; 0.58% on the

next $70,000,000; 0.64% on the balance of the average daily net assets of the Fund.

The Adviser has contractually agreed to waive fees and reimburse expenses in order to keep the Fund's total annual operating expenses from exceeding 1.09% for Class I Shares and 1.34% for Class II Shares until July 31, 2012 ("Expense Limitation"). The Adviser may recapture any of its prior waivers or reimbursements for a period not to exceed three years from the date on which the waiver or reimbursement is made, as long as the Expense Limitation is maintained. For the six months ended March 31, 2011, the Adviser reimbursed the Fund $120,632. The balance of recoverable expenses to the Adviser at March 31, 2011 was $445,758.

The Trust does not pay any fees to its Officers for their services as such. Currently, Martin Dziura of Cipperman Compliance Services serves as Chief Compliance Officer for the Trust. Mr. Dziura does not receive compensation for this position. However, Cipperman Compliance Services is compensated for the compliance services it provides to the Trust. For the six months ended March 31, 2011, the Fund was allocated $11,903 in Chief Compliance Officer fees. The Trust also pays each Independent Trustee an annual retainer of $10,000, a per meeting fee of $1,500 for quarterly and special meetings, a fee of $1,000 for each Audit Committee meeting and $250 per Fair Value Pricing Committee meeting attended. Trustees are reimbursed for reasonable expenses incurred in attending all meetings.

5.  Shareholder Servicing Plan

The Fund has adopted a Shareholder Servicing Plan (the "Service Plan") that allows Class II Shares of the Fund to pay service fees to firms that provide shareholder services ("Service Providers"). Under the Service Plan, if a Service Provider provides shareholder services, including responding to shareholder inquiries and assisting shareholders with their accounts, the Fund may pay shareholder service fees to the Service Provider at an annual rate of 0.25% of its Class II Shares' average daily net assets, the annual limitation under the Service Plan.

6.  Other Service Providers

The Trust has entered into an Administration and Accounting Services Agreement with BNY Mellon Investment Servicing (US) Inc. ("BNYMIS"), formerly known as PNC Global Investment Servicing (U.S.) Inc., to provide accounting and administrative services, including regulatory reporting and all necessary office space, equipment, personnel and facilities. BNYMIS also acts as transfer agent and dividend disbursing agent for the Fund. For these services BNYMIS receives a monthly fee based on shareholder processing activity during the month.

Foreside Fund Services, LLC (the "Distributor") serves as the Fund's distributor. The Distributor acts as an agent for the Fund and the distributor of its shares.

PFPC Trust Company acts as custodian (the "Custodian") of the Fund. The Custodian holds cash, securities and other assets of the Fund as required by the 1940 Act. As of April 2011, The Bank of New York Mellon will be the Custodian.

Pursuant to a services agreement, BNYMIS agreed to waive $2,550 in administration and accounting, custodian, and transfer agent fees for the Fund for the six months ended March 31, 2011.

7.  Distributions To Shareholders

The tax character of distributions paid during the fiscal year ended September 30, 2010 was as follows:

Distribution paid from:  
Ordinary income   $ 19,141    

 

8.  Investment Transactions

Investment transactions for the six months ended March 31, 2011, excluding temporary short-term investments for the Fund, were as follows:

Purchases   Sales  
$ 70,362,381     $ 16,516,382    

 

9.  Federal Income Taxes

The Fund intends to qualify for treatment as a regulated investment company under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and will distribute all its taxable income. In addition, by distributing in each calendar year substantially all its net investment income, capital gains and certain other amounts, if any, the Fund will not be subject to federal income or excise tax.

Under the current tax law, capital losses realized after October 31 and prior to the Fund's fiscal year end may be deferred and treated as occurring on the first day of the following fiscal year. For the year ended September 30, 2010, the Fund had deferred currency losses of $47,205.

During the year ended September 30, 2010, the Fund utilized a capital loss carryforward of $18,729.

The Fund is required to evaluate tax positions taken or expected to be taken in the course of preparing the Fund's tax returns to determine whether the tax positions are "more-likely-than-not" of being sustained by the applicable tax authority. Income tax and related interest and penalties would be recognized by the Fund as tax expense in the Statement of Operations if the tax positions were deemed not to meet the more-likely-than-not threshold. For the six months ended March 31, 2011, the Fund did not incur any income tax, interest, or penalties. As of March 31, 2011, the Adviser has reviewed all open tax years and concluded that there was no impact to the Fund's net assets or results of operations. Tax years ended September 30, 2009 through September 30, 2010 remain subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service and state taxing authorities. On an ongoing basis, the Adviser will monitor the Fund's tax positions to determine if adjustments to this conclusion are necessary.

10.  Indemnifications

Under the Trust's organizational documents, its Officers and Trustees are indemnified against certain liability arising out of the performance of their duties to the Trust and the Fund. In addition, in the normal course of business, the Fund enters into contracts with its vendors and others that provide general indemnifications. The Fund's maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown, as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Fund.

11.  Board Considerations Regarding Investment Management Agreement and Sub-Advisory Agreement

As required by the 1940 Act and in anticipation of the Transaction, at a meeting held on December 15, 2010, the Board of Trustees, including all of the Trustees who are not "interested persons" of the Trust ("Independent Trustees"), unanimously approved (i) an interim investment management agreement between the Adviser and the Trust on behalf of the Fund and an interim sub-advisory agreement between the Adviser and JOHCM (together, the "Interim Agreements") and (ii) a new investment management agreement between the Adviser and the Trust on behalf of the Fund and a new sub-advisory agreement between the Adviser and JOHCM (together, the "New Agreements"). The Interim Agreements provided that, during the interim period between the date of the Transaction and until shareholder approval of the New Agreements, the Adviser would continue to act as investment manager to the Fund and JOHCM would continue to act as sub-adviser on substantially the same terms and with the same fee structure as the Prior Agreements, except that the compensation earned by the Adviser and JOHCM would be held in interest bearing escrow accounts until shareholder approval of the New Agreements. Subsequently, at a meeting held on March 24, 2011, the Board, including a majority of the Independent Trustees, unanimously re-approved the New Agreements.

In determining whether to approve the Interim Agreements and New Agreements at the meeting held on December 15, 2010 and whether to approve the New Agreements at the meeting held on March 24, 2011, the Board exercised its business judgment and considered information about the Adviser and certain additional factors described below that the Board deemed relevant. In their deliberations, the Trustees did not rank the importance of any particular piece of information or factor considered, and it is presumed that each Trustee attributed different weights to the various factors. The following summary details the materials and factors that the Board considered, and the conclusions the Board reached, in approving the Interim Agreements and New Agreements.

(1)  The Nature, Extent and Quality of Services Provided by the Adviser and Sub-Adviser.

The Board considered the scope and quality of services provided by the Adviser and JOHCM, particularly the qualifications and capabilities of the personnel responsible for providing services to the Fund. The Trustees noted that, in addition to managing the investment program of the Fund, the Adviser and JOHCM provide, at their expense, personnel responsible for supervising the provision of compliance, administrative services, accounting and related services. The Trustees also considered that the Adviser pays for all compensation of officers of the Trust that are also employees of the Adviser.

The Board considered information it believed necessary to assess the stability of the Adviser and JOHCM as a result of the Transaction and to assess the ongoing nature and quality of services to be provided to the Fund by the Adviser and JOHCM following the closing of the Transaction. The Trustees also considered the details of the anticipated ownership structure of the Adviser following the closing of the Transaction. The Board noted the anticipated long-term nature of the new ownership, and increasing benefits to management from the growth of assets under management, which should help the Adviser retain key management and investment personnel.

The Trustees considered information addressing the projected benefits to the Adviser expected to result from the Transaction. The Trustees considered management's expectation that the Adviser's current management group would remain intact. The Trustees reviewed the Adviser's actions to minimize the likelihood that the Adviser would have any departures of key personnel and whether compensation and other benefits expected to be offered by the Adviser in light of the Transaction would be adequate to attract and retain high-caliber investment and other relevant professional employees.

The Board also considered the integration of Scotiabank's asset management business with that of DundeeWealth, Inc. At the March 24, 2011 meeting, management indicated that Scotiabank has determined to integrate its current asset management business under the leadership of David Goodman of DundeeWealth, Inc. which will provide continuity of leadership for DundeeWealth, Inc. and the Adviser. The Board also considered Scotiabank, which is one of the 5 largest banks in Canada and is its fasting growing as well as its reputation for being well-managed and conservative. In addition, the Board considered the Adviser's efforts both initially and on an ongoing basis to respond to questions from clients, potential clients and other sub-advisers regarding the Transaction and management's representation at the March 24, 2011 meeting that the Fund has not experienced client redemptions as a result of the Transaction.

On the basis of this evaluation, the Board concluded that the nature, quality and extent of services provided by the Adviser and Sub-Adviser were satisfactory.

(2)  The Performance of the Fund and the Adviser and Sub-Adviser.

The Trustees considered the investment experience of the Adviser and JOHCM. The Trustees considered the performance of the Fund as well as historical performance of other accounts managed by JOHCM using investment strategies substantially similar to those of the Fund. The Trustees also reviewed performance information and how the Fund ranked versus its respective peer group over various time periods. At the March 24, 2011 meeting, the Board noted the one-year performance of the Fund which ranked in the 1st percentile (or best performer) of its peer group.

(3)  Cost of Services Provided and Profits Realized by the Adviser and Sub-Adviser.

In connection with the Trustees' consideration of the level of the advisory fees, the Trustees considered a number of factors. With respect to the Fund, the Board's analysis of the Fund's advisory fee and estimated expenses included a discussion and review of data concerning the current fee and expense ratios of the Fund compared to a peer group. The Board considered the Fund's overall gross expense ratio and net expense ratio, in light of the Adviser's contractual expense limitation agreement, versus its respective peers. The information provided to the Board indicated that while the Fund's overall gross expense ratio was the highest in its peer group, the Fund's net expense ratio was ranked in the second quartile of its peer group. Management noted that the Adviser did not manage any institutional separate accounts and considered the Fund's sub-advisory fee rates as compared to fees charged by the Sub-Adviser for similarly managed institutional accounts. With respect to institutional accounts, the Board noted that generally, the mix of services provided and the level of responsibility required under the Sub-Advisory Agreement are greater as compared to the Sub-Adviser's obligations for managing the other accounts and that the advisory fees for the other accounts reflect significantly different competitive forces than those in the mutual fund marketplace. The Board considered the Adviser's and JOHCM's profitability. The Board also noted the Adviser's agreement to limit the total expenses of the Fund and that these expense limitations would not be affected by the Transaction. The Board also noted that the Sub-Adviser's fees are paid entirely by the Adviser so that no additional expenses would be borne by shareholders for the engagement of the Sub-Adviser.

(4)  The Extent to Which Economies of Scale Will be Realized as the Fund Grows and Whether Fee Levels Reflect Those Economies of Scale.

The Trustees considered the extent to which economies of scale were expected to be realized relative to fee levels as the Fund's assets grow, and whether the advisory and sub-advisory fee levels reflect these economies of scale for the benefit of shareholders. The Board considered that the Adviser anticipates that the Fund will realize economies of scale as asset levels grow, subject to the Adviser's right to recapture its prior waived fees or reimbursed expenses relating to the Fund. The Trustees also considered the duration of the current fee waiver agreements, noting that the Fund's current fee waiver agreement continues until July 31, 2012.

(5)  Ancillary Benefits and Other Factors.

In addition to the above factors, the Trustees also discussed other benefits received by the Adviser and JOHCM from their management of the Fund, including, without limitation, possible soft dollar benefits and the ability to market their advisory services for similar products in the future. The Trustees also considered the letter agreement entered into between the Adviser and Sub-Adviser which, subject to applicable law and fiduciary duties, could in certain circumstances, allow the Adviser to receive compensation from the Sub-Adviser in the event the Fund is reorganized out of the Trust. The Board considered management's assertion that certain fall-out benefits could ultimately accrue to Scotiabank such as increased product for various distribution channels and the use of Scotiabank's capital markets capabilities. The Board concluded that the advisory fees were reasonable in light of these fall-out benefits.

(6)  Section 15(f) and Rule 15a-4 of the 1940 Act.

At the December 15, 2010 meeting, the Trustees also considered whether the arrangements between the Adviser and the Fund comply with the conditions of Section 15(f) of the 1940 Act. Section 15(f) provides a non-exclusive safe harbor for an investment adviser to an investment company or any of its affiliated persons to receive any amount or benefit in connection with a change in control of the investment adviser so long as two conditions are met. First, for a period of three years after closing of the transaction, at least 75% of the board members of the Trust cannot be "interested persons" (as defined in the 1940 Act) of the investment adviser or predecessor adviser. Second, an "unfair burden" must not be imposed upon the Trust as a result of the transaction or any express or implied terms, conditions or understandings applicable thereto. The term "unfair burden" is defined in Section 15(f) to include any arrangement during the two-year period after the closing of the transaction whereby the investment adviser (or predecessor or successor adviser) or any interested person of any such investment adviser, receives or is entitled to receive any compensation, directly or indirectly, from the Trust or its shareholders (other than fees for bona fide investment advisory or other services) or from any person in connection with the purchase or sale of securities or other property to, from or on behalf of the Trust (other than bona fide ordinary compensation as principal underwriter for the Trust).

In connection with the first condition of Section 15(f), the Trustees noted that at least 75% of the Trustees are currently not "interested persons" (as defined in the 1940 Act) of the Adviser in compliance with this provision of Section 15(f). With respect to the second condition of Section 15(f), the Adviser has represented that the Transaction will not have an economic impact on the Adviser's ability to provide services to the Fund and no fee increases are contemplated and that, the Transaction will not result in an "unfair burden" (as defined in Section 15(f)) during the two-year period following the closing of the Transaction. The Adviser has represented that neither the Adviser nor any interested person of the Adviser will receive any compensation from the Trust or its shareholders, except as permitted pursuant to Section 15(f).

The Board also considered the requirements of Rule 15a-4. Management represented to the Board that the Transaction complies with all the requirements of Rule 15a-4.

Conclusion

The Board of Trustees, and separately all of the Independent Trustees, concluded that the fees payable under the Interim Agreements and New Agreements were fair and reasonable with respect to the services that the Adviser and Sub-Adviser would provide, in light of the factors described above that the Board

JOHCM International Select Fund 2011 Semiannual Report
13



Notes to Financial Statements

deemed relevant. The Board based its decision on an evaluation of all these factors as a whole and did not consider any one factor as all-important or controlling.

12.  Subsequent Events

(2) On May 25, 2011, PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP (PwC) resigned as independent auditor for the Fund as a result of an independence conflict resulting from the Transaction (discussed under Note 4). KPMG LLP (KPMG) was selected as the Fund's independent auditor. The Fund's selection of KPMG as its independent auditor was recommended by the Fund's audit committee and was approved by the Fund's Board of Trustees on May 25, 2011.

     The report of the financial statements audited by PwC for the Fund for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2010 did not contain an adverse opinion or disclaimer of opinion, and was not qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope or accounting principles. During the fiscal year ended September 30, 2010 and through May 25, 2011 there were no disagreements between the Fund and PwC on any matters of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedures, which disagreements, if not resolved to the satisfaction of PwC would have caused it to make reference to the subject matter of the disagreements in connection with its report on the financial statements of such year.

Management has evaluated the impact on the Funds of all subsequent events through the date the financial statements were issued and has determined that there were no additional subsequent events requiring recognition or disclosure in the financial statements.

Disclosure of Fund Expenses

For the Six Month Period October 1, 2010 to March 31, 2011 (Unaudited)

We believe it is important for you to understand the impact of fees regarding your investment. All mutual funds have operating expenses. As a shareholder of the Mount Lucas U.S. Focused Equity Fund (the "Fund"), you incur ongoing costs, which include costs for investment advisory services, administrative services, shareholder services and shareholder reports (like this one), among others. Operating expenses, which are deducted from a fund's gross income, directly reduce the investment return of the Fund. A fund's expenses are expressed as a percentage of its average net assets. This figure is known as the expense ratio. The following examples are intended to help you understand the ongoing fees (in dollars) of investing in your Fund and to compare these costs with those of other mutual funds. The examples are based on an investment of $1,000 made at the beginning of the period shown and held for the entire period.

This table illustrates your Fund's costs in two ways:

Actual Fund Return: This section helps you to estimate the actual expenses, after any applicable fee waivers, that you paid over the period. The "Ending Account Value" shown is derived from the Fund's actual return for the period. The "Expense Ratio" column shows the period's annualized expense ratio and the "Expenses Paid During the Period" column shows the dollar amount that would have been paid by an investor who started with $1,000 in the Fund at the beginning of the period.

You may use the information here, together with your account value, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. To do so, simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the first line under the heading entitled "Expenses Paid During the Period."

Hypothetical 5% Return: This section is intended to help you compare your Fund's costs with those of other mutual funds. The "Ending Account Value" shown is derived from hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Fund's actual expense ratio and assumed rate of return. It assumes that the Fund had an annual return of 5% before expenses, but that the expense ratio is unchanged. In this case, because the return used is not the Fund's actual return, the results do not apply to your investment. This example is useful in making comparisons to other mutual funds because the Securities and Exchange Commission requires all mutual funds to calculate expenses based on an assumed 5% annual return. You can assess your Fund's costs by comparing this hypothetical example with the hypothetical examples that appear in shareholder reports of other funds.

Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight and help you compare your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transactional costs such as sales charges (loads), redemption fees, or exchange fees. The Fund has no sales charges or exchange fees, but these may be present in other funds to which you compare this data. Therefore, the hypothetical portions of the table are useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds.

Notes to Financial Statements

March 31, 2011 (Unaudited)

1.  Organization

The Mount Lucas U.S. Focused Equity Fund (the "Fund") is a separate series of the DundeeWealth Funds (the "Trust"), a registered management investment company. The Trust is established as a Delaware statutory trust pursuant to an Agreement and Declaration of Trust ("Declaration of Trust") dated June 2, 2006, as amended and restated September 14, 2010. The Declaration of Trust permits the Trust to offer separate series of units of beneficial interest ("shares"). The Fund is a separate mutual fund, and each share of the Fund represents an equal proportionate interest in the Fund. All consideration received by the Trust for shares of any fund and all assets of such fund belong solely to that fund and are subject to liabilities related thereto. The Fund is authorized to issue an unlimited number of shares and offers two classes of shares: Class I Shares and Class II Shares. As of March 31, 2011, Class II shares were not yet being offered to the public. The accompanying financial statements and financial highlights are those of the Fund, which commenced operations on September 28, 2007. The financial statements of the remaining series in the Trust are presented in separate documents.

The Fund seeks long-term capital appreciation and invests in large capitalization U.S. common stocks with value characteristics. Under normal market conditions, the Fund invests at least 80% of its assets in U.S. common stocks and other equity securities of large capitalization companies. The Fund will typically hold between 20 and 40 stocks.

It is expected that a significant portion of the Fund's assets will be held in omnibus and other institutional accounts, which typically hold shares for the benefit of other underlying investors. To the extent that an omnibus position redeems a large portion of its investment in the Fund, this could have a disruptive impact on the efficient implementation of the Fund's investment strategy and result in increased overall expenses for the remaining shareholders.

Non-Diversification Risks

The Fund has a non-diversified investment portfolio, as defined under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the "1940 Act") and invests in a limited number of issuers. Therefore, the Fund's investment performance may be more volatile, as it may be more susceptible to risks associated with a single economic, political, or regulatory event than a fund that invests in a greater number of issuers.

2.  Significant Accounting Policies

The Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") has become the exclusive reference of authoritative United States of America ("U.S.") generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP") recognized by the FASB to be applied by nongovernmental entities. Rules and interpretive releases of the SEC under authority of federal laws are also sources of authoritative GAAP for SEC registrants. The ASC has superseded all existing non-SEC accounting and reporting standards. The following is a summary of significant accounting policies followed by the Fund in the preparation of its financial statements:

Security Valuation – Securities listed on a securities exchange, market or automated quotation system for which quotations are readily available (except for securities traded on NASDAQ), including securities traded over the counter, are valued at the last quoted sale price on the primary exchange or market (foreign or domestic) on which they are traded on valuation date (or at approximately 4:00pm Eastern time if a security's primary exchange is normally open at that time). If there is no such reported sale on the valuation date, securities are valued at the most recent quoted bid price. For a security that trades on multiple exchanges, the primary exchange will generally be considered to be the exchange on which the security is normally most actively traded. For securities traded on NASDAQ, the NASDAQ Official Closing Price will be used. Short-term debt securities with maturities of 60 days or less are carried at amortized cost, which approximates market value. Other debt securities are priced based upon valuations provided by recognized independent third party pricing agents. Such values generally reflect the last reported sales price if the security is actively traded.

Securities for which market quotations are not readily available are valued at fair value as determined in good faith by the Fair Value Pricing Committee using the Fair Value Pricing Procedures approved by the Board of Trustees.

Use of Estimates – The preparation of financial statements in accordance with GAAP in the U.S requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities as of the date of the financial statements, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities as of the date of the financial statements and reported amounts of income and expenses during the period. Actual results could differ from those estimates and those differences could be significant.

Derivative Financial Instruments – The Fund may invest in various derivative financial instruments and engage in various portfolio investment strategies for the purpose of generating additional income, gaining exposure to underlying securities and/or hedging against currency risk. Losses may arise if the value of the contract decreases due to an unfavorable change in the price of the underlying security or if the counterparty does not perform its duties under the contract. Investing in certain derivative financial instruments entails certain execution, market, liquidity, hedging, and tax risks. Participation in the options or futures markets and in currency exchange transactions involves investment risks and transaction costs to which the Fund would not be subject absent the use of these strategies. If Mount Lucas Management Corp.'s (the "Sub-Adviser" or "Mount Lucas") prediction of movements in the direction of the securities, foreign currency, and interest rate markets is inaccurate, the consequences to the Fund may leave the Fund in a worse position than if it had not used such strategies.

Notes to Financial Statements
(Continued)

Derivative contracts are not accounted for as hedging instruments under GAAP.

The Fund is subject to equity price risk, foreign currency exchange rate risk, and interest rate risk in the normal course of pursuing its investment objectives by investing in various derivative financial instruments, as described below and in the tables to follow.

Futures and Options on Futures – The Fund may use futures contracts for the purpose of gaining exposure to, or hedging against changes in the value of equities or interest rates. An option on a futures contract gives the purchaser the right, in exchange for a premium, to assume a position in a futures contract at a specified exercise price during the term of the option.

During the six months ended March 31, 2011, the Fund had no investments in futures contracts or options on futures.

Options – The Fund may purchase or write call or put options on securities or indices for the purpose of generating additional income, gaining exposure to underlying securities and/or hedging against price movements of portfolio assets. The Fund may trade and write put and call options on securities, securities indices and currencies, as the Sub-Adviser determines is appropriate in seeking the Fund's investment objective, and except as restricted by the Fund's investment limitations.

During the six months ended March 31, 2011, the Fund had no investments in options.

Security Transactions and Related Investment Income – Security transactions are accounted for on the date the security is purchased or sold (trade date). Dividend income is recognized on the ex-dividend date, and interest income is recognized on an accrual basis. Realized gains and losses on the sales of investment securities are measured using the identified cost method.

Expenses – Expenses attributable to the Fund shall be payable solely out of the assets of the Fund. Expenses not attributable specifically to a fund are allocated across all of the funds in the Trust on the basis of relative net assets or the nature of the services performed and the relative applicability to each fund.

Net Asset Value Per Share – The net asset value ("NAV") per share for each class of shares of the Fund is the value of that class's portion of all of the net assets of the Fund. The Fund calculates its NAV once each business day as of the regularly-scheduled close of normal trading on the New York Stock Exchange (normally, 4:00pm Eastern time).

Distributions to Shareholders – The Fund distributes its net investment income and makes distributions of net realized capital gains, if any, at least annually.

Redemption Fees – The Fund imposes a redemption fee of 2.00% on shares that are redeemed within 90 days of purchase. The redemption fee will be calculated as a percentage of the NAV of total redemption proceeds. Those shares held the longest will be treated as having been redeemed first. The redemption fee is deducted from the proceeds otherwise payable to the redeeming shareholder. The redemption fees, if any, returned to the assets of the Fund are reflected in the Statement of Changes in Net Assets.

3.  Fair Value Measurements

The inputs and valuation techniques used to measure fair value of the Fund's investments are summarized into three levels as described in the hierarchy below:

Level 1:  Quoted prices in active markets for identical securities

Level 2:  Other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.)

Level 3:  Significant unobservable inputs (including the Fund's own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments)

The inputs or methodology used in valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities.

The summary of inputs used to determine the fair value of the Fund's investments as of March 31, 2011, is as follows:

Level 1 – Quoted Prices*   $ 19,522,595    
Total Market Value of Investments   $ 19,522,595    

 

*  Level 1 securities consist of common stocks and short-term investments as disclosed in the Schedule of Investments.

There were no Level 2 or 3 investments held at March 31, 2011 or September 30, 2010.

In January 2010, FASB issued amended guidance to improve disclosure about fair value measurements which requires additional disclosures about transfers between Levels 1 and 2 and separate disclosures about purchases, sales, issuances, and settlements in the reconciliation of fair value measurements using significant unobservable inputs (Level 3). FASB also clarified existing disclosure requirements relating to the levels of disaggregation of fair value measurement and inputs and valuation techniques used to measure fair value. Disclosures about purchases, sales, issuances, and settlements in the rollforward of activity in Level 3 fair value measurements are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2010 and for interim periods within those fiscal years. Management is currently evaluating the impact of the additional disclosure requirements on the Fund's financial statements. The remainder of the amended guidance is effective for financial statements for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2009 and interim periods within those fiscal years. Management has adopted the amended guidance and determined that there was no material impact to the Fund's financial statements except for additional disclosures made in the notes.

4.  Investment Advisory Fees and Other Transactions

On February 1, 2011, Dundee Corporation, the largest shareholder of DundeeWealth US's parent company, DundeeWealth, sold its ownership interest in DundeeWealth to the Bank of Nova Scotia (the "Transaction"). The Transaction constituted an assignment, automatically terminating the then current investment management agreement between DundeeWealth US and the Trust on behalf of the Fund and the sub-advisory agreement between

Mount Lucas U.S. Focused Equity Fund 2011 Semiannual Report

Notes to Financial Statements
(Continued)

DundeeWealth US and Mount Lucas on behalf of the Fund (together, the "Prior Agreements") in accordance with the 1940 Act. In anticipation of the Transaction, the Board of Trustees approved interim investment management and sub-advisory agreements (the "Interim Agreements") and a new investment management agreement (the "Advisory Agreement") and a new sub-advisory agreement (the "Sub-Advisory Agreement" and, together with the Advisory Agreement, the "New Agreements"). The Interim Agreements provided that, during the interim period between the date of the Transaction and until shareholder approval of the New Agreements was obtained at a special meeting of shareholders of the Funds held on April 8, 2011, DundeeWealth US and Mount Lucas were able to continue to act as investment adviser and sub-adviser to the Fund on substantially the same terms and with the same fee structure as the Prior Agreements, except that the compensation earned by DundeeWealth US and Mount Lucas was held in interest bearing escrow accounts until after shareholder approval of the New Agreements on April 8, 2011. Information concerning the Board of Trustees' considerations regarding the Interim and New Agreements is provided under Note 10 and the voting results of the special meeting of shareholders of the Fund is provided under Note 11.

Under the Advisory Agreement, DundeeWealth US is entitled to receive a fee calculated daily and payable monthly at an annual rate of 0.75% of the average daily net assets of the Fund. As investment adviser to the Fund, DundeeWealth US has the ultimate responsibility over Mount Lucas and is responsible for the investment performance of the Fund.

Sub-advisory fees paid to Mount Lucas under the Sub-Advisory Agreement are paid by DundeeWealth US, not out of the Fund's assets. In accordance with the terms of the Advisory Agreement and Sub-Advisory Agreement, DundeeWealth US and Mount Lucas provide a continuous investment program for the Fund's portfolio, and oversee the administration of all aspects relating to the Fund's business and affairs.

For its services as investment sub-adviser to the Fund, Mount Lucas is entitled to receive investment sub-advisory fees from DundeeWealth US at an annualized rate, calculated daily based on the average daily net assets of the Fund and paid monthly. Mount Lucas will be paid 0.25% on the first $200,000,000 and 0.60% on the balance of the average daily net assets of the Fund.

The Adviser has contractually agreed to waive fees and reimburse expenses in order to keep the Fund's total annual operating expenses from exceeding 0.95% for the Class I shares of the Fund until January 31, 2012 ("Expense Limitation"). The Trust has agreed, commencing September 27, 2010, to carry forward, for a period not to exceed three years from the date on which a waiver or reimbursement is made by DundeeWealth US, any fees or expenses in excess of the applicable expense limitation that are waived, reimbursed or assumed by DundeeWealth US under the Expense Limitation and to repay DundeeWealth the amount of such excess fees or expenses. For the six months ended March 31, 2011, the Adviser reimbursed the Fund $70,123. The balance of recoverable expenses to the Adviser at March 31, 2011 was $71,579.

The Trust does not pay any fees to its Officers for their services as such. Currently, Martin Dziura of Cipperman Compliance Services serves as Chief Compliance Officer for the Trust. Mr. Dziura does not receive compensation for this position. However, Cipperman Compliance Services is compensated for the compliance services it provides to the Trust. For the six months ended March 31, 2011, the Fund was allocated $2,870 in Chief Compliance Officer fees. The Trust also pays each Independent Trustee an annual retainer of $10,000, a per meeting fee of $1,500 for quarterly and special meetings, a fee of $1,000 for each Audit Committee meeting and $250 per Fair Value Pricing Committee meeting attended. Trustees are reimbursed for reasonable expenses incurred in attending all meetings.

5.  Other Service Providers

The Trust has entered into an Administration and Accounting Services Agreement with BNY Mellon Investment Servicing (US) Inc. ("BNYMIS"), formerly known as PNC Global Investment Servicing (U.S.) Inc., to provide accounting and administrative services, including regulatory reporting and all necessary office space, equipment, personnel and facilities. BNYMIS also acts as transfer agent and dividend disbursing agent for the Fund. For these services BNYMIS receives a monthly fee based on shareholder processing activity during the month.

Foreside Fund Services, LLC (the "Distributor") serves as the Fund's distributor. The Distributor acts as an agent for the Fund and the distributor of its shares.

PFPC Trust Company acts as custodian (the "Custodian") of the Fund. The Custodian holds cash, securities and other assets of the Fund as required by the 1940 Act. As of April 2011, The Bank of New York Mellon will be the Custodian.

6.  Distributions To Shareholders

The tax character of distributions paid during the fiscal year ended September 30, 2010 was as follows:

    Year Ended
September 30, 2010
 
Distribution paid from:  
Ordinary income   $ 42,436    

 

7.  Investment Transactions

Investment transactions for the six months ended March 31, 2011, excluding temporary short-term investments for the Fund, were as follows:

Purchases   Sales  
$ 14,850,212     $ 7,850,580

8.  Federal Income Taxes

The Fund intends to qualify for treatment as a regulated investment company under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and will distribute all its taxable income. In addition, by distributing in each calendar year substantially all its net investment income, capital gains and certain other amounts, if any, the Fund will not be subject to federal income or excise tax.

As of September 30, 2010, the Fund had a capital loss carryforward of $1,757,535, which is available to reduce future required distributions of net capital gains to shareholders. $953,379 is available through 2017 and $804,156 is available through 2018.

The Fund is required to evaluate tax positions taken or expected to be taken in the course of preparing the Fund's tax returns to determine whether the tax positions are "more-likely-than-not" of being sustained by the applicable tax authority. Income tax and related interest and penalties would be recognized by the Fund as tax expense in the Statement of Operations if the tax positions were deemed not to meet the more-likely-than-not threshold. For the six months ended March 31, 2011, the Fund did not incur any income tax, interest, or penalties. As of March 31, 2011, the Adviser has reviewed all open tax years and concluded that there was no impact to the Fund's net assets or results of operations. Tax years ended September 30, 2008 through September 30, 2010 remain subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service and state taxing authorities. On an ongoing basis, the Adviser will monitor the Fund's tax positions to determine if adjustments to this conclusion are necessary.

9.  Indemnifications

Under the Trust's organizational documents, its Officers and Trustees are indemnified against certain liability arising out of the performance of their duties to the Trust and the Fund. In addition, in the normal course of business, the Fund enters into contracts with its vendors and others that provide general indemnifications. The Fund's maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown, as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Fund.

10.  Board Considerations Regarding Investment Management Agreement and Sub-Advisory Agreement

As required by the 1940 Act and in anticipation of the Transaction, at a meeting held on December 15, 2010, the Board of Trustees, including all of the Trustees who are not "interested persons" of the Trust ("Independent Trustees"), unanimously approved (i) an interim investment management agreement between the Adviser and the Trust on behalf of the Fund and an interim sub-advisory agreement between the Adviser and Mount Lucas (together, the "Interim Agreements") and (ii) a new investment management agreement between the Adviser and the Trust on behalf of the Fund and a new sub-advisory agreement between the Adviser and Mount Lucas (together, the "New Agreements"). The Interim Agreements provided that, during the interim period between the date of the Transaction and until shareholder approval of the New Agreements, the Adviser would continue to act as investment manager to the Fund and Mount Lucas would continue to act as sub-adviser on substantially the same terms and with the same fee structure as the Prior Agreements, except that the compensation earned by the Adviser and Mount Lucas would be held in interest bearing escrow accounts until shareholder approval of the New Agreements. Subsequently, at a meeting held on March 24, 2011, the Board, including a majority of the Independent Trustees, unanimously re-approved the New Agreements.

In determining whether to approve the Interim Agreements and New Agreements at the meeting held December 15, 2011 and whether to approve the New Agreements at the meeting held March 24, 2011, the Board exercised its business judgment and considered information about the Adviser and certain additional factors described below that the Board deemed relevant. In their deliberations, the Trustees did not rank the importance of any particular piece of information or factor considered, and it is presumed that each Trustee attributed different weights to the various factors. The following summary details the materials and factors that the Board considered, and the conclusions the Board reached, in approving the Interim Agreements and New Agreements.

(1)  The Nature, Extent and Quality of Services Provided by the Adviser and Sub-Adviser.

The Board considered the scope and quality of services provided by the Adviser and Mount Lucas, particularly the qualifications and capabilities of the personnel responsible for providing services to the Fund. The Trustees noted that, in addition to managing the investment program of the Fund, the Adviser and Sub-Adviser provide, at their expense, personnel responsible for supervising the provision of compliance, administrative services, accounting and related services. The Trustees also considered that the Adviser pays for all compensation of officers of the Trust that are also employees of the Adviser.

The Board considered information it believed necessary to assess the stability of the Adviser and Mount Lucas as a result of the Transaction and to assess the ongoing nature and quality of services to be provided to the Fund by the Adviser and Mount Lucas following the closing of the Transaction. The Trustees also considered the details of the anticipated ownership structure of the Adviser following the closing of the Transaction. The Board noted the anticipated long-term nature of the new ownership, and increasing benefits to management from the growth of assets under management, which should help the Adviser retain key management and investment personnel.

The Trustees considered information addressing the projected benefits to the Adviser expected to result from the Transaction. The Trustees considered management's expectation that the Adviser's current management group would remain intact. The Trustees reviewed the Adviser's actions to minimize the likelihood that the Adviser would have any departures of key personnel and whether compensation and other benefits expected to be offered by the Adviser in light of the Transaction would be adequate to attract and retain high-caliber investment and other relevant professional employees.

The Board also considered the integration of Scotiabank's asset management business with that of DundeeWealth, Inc. At the March 24, 2011 meeting, management indicated that

Mount Lucas U.S. Focused Equity Fund 2011 Semiannual Report
10



Notes to Financial Statements
(Continued)

Scotiabank has determined to integrate its current asset management business under the leadership of David Goodman of DundeeWealth, Inc. which will provide continuity of leadership for DundeeWealth, Inc. and the Adviser. The Board also considered Scotiabank, which is one of the 5 largest banks in Canada and is its fasting growing as well as its reputation for being well-managed and conservative. In addition, the Board considered the Adviser's efforts both initially and on an ongoing basis to respond to questions from clients, potential clients and other sub-advisers regarding the Transaction and management's representation at the March 24, 2011 meeting, that the Fund has not experienced client redemptions as a result of the Transaction.

On the basis of this evaluation, the Board concluded that the nature, quality and extent of services provided by the Adviser and Sub-Adviser were satisfactory.

(2)  The Performance of the Fund and the Adviser and Sub-Adviser.

The Trustees considered the investment experience of the Adviser and Mount Lucas. The Trustees considered the performance of the Fund as well as historical performance of other accounts managed by Mount Lucas using investment strategies substantially similar to those of the Fund. The Trustees also reviewed performance and how the Fund ranked versus its respective peer group over various time periods. At the March 24, 2011 meeting, the Board noted the one-year performance of the Fund which ranked in the 1st percentile (or best performer) of its peer group.

(3)  Cost of Services Provided and Profits Realized by the Adviser and Sub-Adviser.

In connection with the Trustees' consideration of the level of the advisory fees, the Trustees considered a number of factors. With respect to the Fund, the Board's analysis of the Fund's advisory fee and estimated expenses included a discussion and review of data concerning the current fee and expense ratios of the Fund compared to a peer group. The Board considered the Fund's overall gross expense ratio and net expense ratio, in light of the Adviser's contractual expense limitation agreement, versus its respective peers. The information provided to the Board indicated that while the Fund's overall gross expense ratio was among the highest in its peer group, the Fund's net expense ratio was ranked in the first quartile of its peer group. Management noted that the Adviser did not manage any institutional separate accounts and considered the Fund's sub-advisory fee rates as compared to fees charged by the Sub-Adviser for similarly managed institutional accounts. With respect to institutional accounts, the Board noted that generally, the mix of services provided and the level of responsibility required under the Sub-Advisory Agreement are greater as compared to the Sub-Adviser's obligations for managing the other accounts and that the advisory fees for the other accounts reflect significantly different competitive forces than those in the mutual fund marketplace. The Board considered the Adviser's and Mount Lucas' profitability. The Board also noted the Adviser's agreement to limit the total expenses of the Fund and that these expense limitations would not be affected by the Transaction. The Board also noted that the Sub-Adviser's fees are paid entirely by the Adviser so that no additional expenses would be borne by shareholders for the engagement of the Sub-Adviser.

(4)  The Extent to Which Economies of Scale Will be Realized as the Fund Grows and Whether Fee Levels Reflect Those Economies of Scale.

The Trustees considered the extent to which economies of scale were expected to be realized relative to fee levels as the Fund's assets grow, and whether the advisory and sub-advisory fee levels reflect these economies of scale for the benefit of shareholders. The Board considered that the Adviser anticipates that the Fund will realize economies of scale as asset levels grow, subject to the Adviser's right to recapture its prior waived fees or reimbursed expenses relating to the Fund. The Trustees also considered the duration of the current fee waiver agreements, noting that the Fund's current fee waiver agreement continues until January 31, 2012.

(5)  Ancillary Benefits and Other Factors.

In addition to the above factors, the Trustees also discussed other benefits received by the Adviser and Mount Lucas from their management of the Fund, including, without limitation, possible soft dollar benefits and the ability to market their advisory services for similar products in the future. The Trustees also considered the letter agreement entered into between the Adviser and Sub-Adviser which, subject to applicable law and fiduciary duties, could in certain circumstances, allow the Adviser to receive compensation from the Sub-Adviser in the event the Fund is reorganized out of the Trust. The Board considered management's assertion that certain fall-out benefits could ultimately accrue to Scotiabank such as increased product for various distribution channels and the use of Scotiabank's capital markets capabilities. The Board concluded that the advisory fees were reasonable in light of these fall-out benefits.

(6)  Section 15(f) and Rule 15a-4 of the 1940 Act.

At the December 15, 2010 meeting, the Trustees also considered whether the arrangements between the Adviser and the Fund comply with the conditions of Section 15(f) of the 1940 Act. Section 15(f) provides a non-exclusive safe harbor for an investment adviser to an investment company or any of its affiliated persons to receive any amount or benefit in connection with a change in control of the investment adviser so long as two conditions are met. First, for a period of three years after closing of the transaction, at least 75% of the board members of the Trust cannot be "interested persons" (as defined in the 1940 Act) of the investment adviser or predecessor adviser. Second, an "unfair burden" must not be imposed upon the Trust as a result of the transaction or any express or implied terms, conditions or understandings applicable thereto. The term "unfair burden" is

Mount Lucas U.S. Focused Equity Fund 2011 Semiannual Report
11



Notes to Financial Statements
(Continued)

defined in Section 15(f) to include any arrangement during the two-year period after the closing of the transaction whereby the investment adviser (or predecessor or successor adviser) or any interested person of any such investment adviser, receives or is entitled to receive any compensation, directly or indirectly, from the Trust or its shareholders (other than fees for bona fide investment advisory or other services) or from any person in connection with the purchase or sale of securities or other property to, from or on behalf of the Trust (other than bona fide ordinary compensation as principal underwriter for the Trust).

In connection with the first condition of Section 15(f), the Trustees noted that at least 75% of the Trustees are currently not "interested persons" (as defined in the 1940 Act) of the Adviser in compliance with this provision of Section 15(f). With respect to the second condition of Section 15(f), the Adviser has represented that the Transaction will not have an economic impact on the Adviser's ability to provide services to the Fund and no fee increases are contemplated and that, the Transaction will not result in an "unfair burden" (as defined in Section 15(f)) during the two-year period following the closing of the Transaction. The Adviser has represented that neither the Adviser nor any interested person of the Adviser will receive any compensation from the Trust or its shareholders, except as permitted pursuant to Section 15(f).

The Board also considered the requirements of Rule 15a-4. Management represented to the Board that the Transaction complies with all the requirements of Rule 15a-4.

Conclusion

The Board of Trustees, and separately all of the Independent Trustees, concluded that the fees payable under the Interim Agreements and New Agreements were fair and reasonable with respect to the services that the Adviser and Sub-Adviser would provide, in light of the factors described above that the Board deemed relevant. The Board based its decision on an evaluation of all these factors as a whole and did not consider any one factor as all-important or controlling.

11.  Subsequent Events

(1) On April 8, 2011, the Fund held a special meeting of shareholders to:

(1) approve a new investment management agreement between DundeeWealth US and the Trust on behalf of the Fund; and

(2) approve a new sub-advisory agreement between DundeeWealth US and Mount Lucas on behalf of the Fund.

Shareholders of record of the Fund on February 1, 2011 were entitled to vote on the proposals.

The proposals were approved by shareholders at the special meeting held on April 8, 2011 and the votes recorded during the special meeting are provided below. Percentage information relates to the votes recorded as a percentage of the outstanding shares on the record date.

    Votes For   Votes Against   Abstained  
Proposal   Number   Percentage   Number   Percentage   Number   Percentage  
(Record date outstanding shares: 1,979,360.1590)  
  1       1,739,319.2590       87.873 %     0       0 %     0       0 %  
  2       1,739,319.2590       87.873 %     0       0 %     0       0 %  

 

(2) On May 25, 2011, PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP (PwC) resigned as independent auditor for the Fund as a result of an independence conflict resulting from the Transaction (discussed under Note 4). KPMG LLP (KPMG) was selected as the Fund's independent auditor. The Fund's selection of KPMG as its independent auditor was recommended by the Fund's audit committee and was approved by the Fund's Board of Trustees on May 25, 2011.

     The report of the financial statements audited by PwC for the Fund for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2010 did not contain an adverse opinion or disclaimer of opinion, and was not qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope or accounting principles. During the fiscal year ended September 30, 2010 and through May 25, 2011 there were no disagreements between the Fund and PwC on any matters of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedures, which disagreements, if not resolved to the satisfaction of PwC would have caused it to make reference to the subject matter of the disagreements in connection with its report on the financial statements of such year.

Management has evaluated the impact on the Funds of all subsequent events through the date the financial statements were issued and has determined that there were no additional subsequent events requiring recognition or disclosure in the financial statements.

Disclosure of Fund Expenses

For the Six Month Period October 1, 2010 to March 31, 2011 (Unaudited)

We believe it is important for you to understand the impact of fees regarding your investment. All mutual funds have operating expenses. As a shareholder of the Smith Group Large Cap Core Growth Fund (the "Fund"), you incur ongoing costs, which include costs for investment advisory services, administrative services, shareholder services and shareholder reports (like this one), among others. Operating expenses, which are deducted from a fund's gross income, directly reduce the investment return of the Fund. A fund's expenses are expressed as a percentage of its average net assets. This figure is known as the expense ratio. The following examples are intended to help you understand the ongoing fees (in dollars) of investing in your Fund and to compare these costs with those of other mutual funds. The examples are based on an investment of $1,000 made at the beginning of the period shown and held for the entire period.

This table illustrates your Fund's costs in two ways:

Actual Fund Return: This section helps you to estimate the actual expenses, after any applicable fee waivers, that you paid over the period. The "Ending Account Value" shown is derived from the Fund's actual return for the period. The "Expense Ratio" column shows the period's annualized expense ratio and the "Expenses Paid During the Period" column shows the dollar amount that would have been paid by an investor who started with $1,000 in the Fund at the beginning of the period.

You may use the information here, together with your account value, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. To do so, simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the first line under the heading entitled "Expenses Paid During the Period."

Hypothetical 5% Return: This section is intended to help you compare your Fund's costs with those of other mutual funds. The "Ending Account Value" shown is derived from hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Fund's actual expense ratio and assumed rate of return. It assumes that the Fund had an annual return of 5% before expenses, but that the expense ratio is unchanged. In this case, because the return used is not the Fund's actual return, the results do not apply to your investment. This example is useful in making comparisons to other mutual funds because the Securities and Exchange Commission requires all mutual funds to calculate expenses based on an assumed 5% annual return. You can assess your Fund's costs by comparing this hypothetical example with the hypothetical examples that appear in shareholder reports of other funds.

Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight and help you compare your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transactional costs such as sales charges (loads), redemption fees, or exchange fees. The Fund has no sales charges or exchange fees, but these may be present in other funds to which you compare this data. Therefore, the hypothetical portions of the table are useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds.

Notes to Financial Statements

March 31, 2011 (Unaudited)

1.  Organization

The Smith Group Large Cap Core Growth Fund (the "Fund") is a separate series of the DundeeWealth Funds (the "Trust"), a registered management investment company. The Trust is established as a Delaware statutory trust pursuant to an Agreement and Declaration of Trust ("Declaration of Trust") dated June 2, 2006, as amended and restated September 14, 2010. The Declaration of Trust permits the Trust to offer separate series of units of beneficial interest ("shares"). The Fund is a separate mutual fund, and each share of the Fund represents an equal proportionate interest in the Fund. All consideration received by the Trust for shares of any fund and all assets of such fund belong solely to that fund and are subject to liabilities related thereto. The Fund is authorized to issue an unlimited number of shares and offers two classes of shares: Class I Shares and Class II Shares. As of March 31, 2011, Class II shares were not yet being offered to the public. The accompanying financial statements and financial highlights are those of the Fund, which commenced operations on May 31, 2007. The financial statements of the remaining series in the Trust are presented in separate documents.

The Fund seeks long-term capital appreciation and, under normal market conditions, invests at least 80% of its assets in U.S. common stocks and other equity securities of large capitalization companies which Smith Asset Management Group, LP (the "Sub-Adviser" or "Smith") believes have the highest probability of an earnings growth rate that exceeds investor expectations.

It is expected that a significant portion of the Fund's assets will be held in omnibus and other institutional accounts, which typically hold shares for the benefit of other underlying investors. To the extent that an omnibus position redeems a large portion of its investment in the Fund, this could have a disruptive impact on the efficient implementation of the Fund's investment strategy and result in increased overall expenses for the remaining shareholders.

2.  Significant Accounting Policies

The Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") has become the exclusive reference of authoritative United States of America ("U.S.") generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP") recognized by the FASB to be applied by nongovernmental entities. Rules and interpretive releases of the SEC under authority of federal laws are also sources of authoritative GAAP for SEC registrants. The ASC has superseded all existing non-SEC accounting and reporting standards. The following is a summary of significant accounting policies followed by the Fund in the preparation of its financial statements:

Security Valuation – Securities listed on a securities exchange, market or automated quotation system for which quotations are readily available (except for securities traded on NASDAQ), including securities traded over the counter, are valued at the last quoted sale price on the primary exchange or market (foreign or domestic) on which they are traded on valuation date (or at approximately 4:00pm Eastern time if a security's primary exchange is normally open at that time). If there is no such reported sale on the valuation date, securities are valued at the most recent quoted bid price. For a security that trades on multiple exchanges, the primary exchange will generally be considered to be the exchange on which the security is normally most actively traded. For securities traded on NASDAQ, the NASDAQ Official Closing Price will be used. Short-term debt securities with maturities of 60 days or less are carried at amortized cost, which approximates market value. Other debt securities are priced based upon valuations provided by recognized independent third party pricing agents. Such values generally reflect the last reported sales price if the security is actively traded.

Securities for which market quotations are not readily available are valued at fair value as determined in good faith by the Fair Value Pricing Committee using the Fair Value Pricing Procedures approved by the Board of Trustees.

Use of Estimates – The preparation of financial statements in accordance with GAAP in the U.S requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities as of the date of the financial statements, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities as of the date of the financial statements and reported amounts of income and expenses during the period. Actual results could differ from those estimates and those differences could be significant.

Derivative Financial Instruments – The Fund may invest in various derivative financial instruments and engage in various portfolio investment strategies for the purpose of generating additional income, gaining exposure to underlying securities and /or hedging against currency risk. Losses may arise if the value of the contract decreases due to an unfavorable change in the price of the underlying security or if the counterparty does not perform its duties under the contract. Investing in certain derivative financial instruments entails certain execution, market, liquidity, hedging, and tax risks. Participation in the options or futures markets and in currency exchange transactions involves investment risks and transaction costs to which the Fund would not be subject absent the use of these strategies. If Smith's prediction of movements in the direction of the securities, foreign currency, and interest rate markets is inaccurate, the consequences to the Fund may leave the Fund in a worse position than if it had not used such strategies.

Derivative contracts are not accounted for as hedging instruments under GAAP.

The Fund is subject to equity price risk, foreign currency exchange rate risk, and interest rate risk in the normal course of pursuing its investment objectives by investing in various derivative financial instruments, as described below and in the tables to follow.

Futures and Options on Futures – The Fund may use futures contracts for the purpose of gaining exposure to, or hedging against changes in the value of equities or interest rates. An option on a futures contract gives the purchaser the right, in exchange for a premium, to assume a position in a futures contract at a specified exercise price during the term of the option.

During the six months ended March 31, 2011, the Fund had no investments in futures contracts.

Smith Group Large Cap Core Growth Fund 2011 Semiannual Report

Notes to Financial Statements
(Continued)

Options – The Fund may purchase or write call or put options on securities or indices for the purpose of generating additional income, gaining exposure to underlying securities and/or hedging against price movements of portfolio assets. The Fund may trade and write put and call options on securities, securities indices and currencies, as the Sub-Adviser determines is appropriate in seeking the Fund's investment objective, and except as restricted by the Fund's investment limitations.

During the six months ended March 31, 2011, the Fund had no investments in options.

Security Transactions and Related Investment Income – Security transactions are accounted for on the date the security is purchased or sold (trade date). Dividend income is recognized on the ex-dividend date, and interest income is recognized on an accrual basis. Realized gains and losses on the sales of investment securities are measured using the identified cost method.

Expenses – Expenses attributable to the Fund shall be payable solely out of the assets of the Fund. Expenses not attributable specifically to a fund are allocated across all of the funds in the Trust on the basis of relative net assets or the nature of the services performed and the relative applicability to each fund.

Net Asset Value Per Share – The net asset value ("NAV") per share for each class of shares of the Fund is the value of that class's portion of all of the net assets of the Fund. The Fund calculates its NAV once each business day as of the regularly-scheduled close of normal trading on the New York Stock Exchange (normally, 4:00pm Eastern time).

Distributions to Shareholders – The Fund distributes its net investment income and makes distributions of net realized capital gains, if any, at least annually.

Redemption Fees – The Fund imposes a redemption fee of 2.00% on shares that are redeemed within 90 days of purchase. The redemption fee will be calculated as a percentage of the NAV of total redemption proceeds. Those shares held the longest will be treated as having been redeemed first. The redemption fee is deducted from the proceeds otherwise payable to the redeeming shareholder. The redemption fees, if any, returned to the assets of the Fund are reflected in the Statement of Changes in Net Assets.

3.  Fair Value Measurements

The inputs and valuation techniques used to measure fair value of the Fund's investments are summarized into three levels as described in the hierarchy below:

Level 1:  Quoted prices in active markets for identical securities

Level 2:  Other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.)

Level 3:  Significant unobservable inputs (including the Fund's own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments)

The inputs or methodology used in valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities.

The summary of inputs used to determine the fair value of the Fund's investments as of March 31, 2011, is as follows:

Level 1 – Quoted Prices*   $ 46,137,637    
Total Market Value of Investments   $ 46,137,637    

 

*  Level 1 securities consist of common stocks and short-term investments as disclosed in the Schedule of Investments.

There were no Level 2 or 3 investments held at March 31, 2011 or September 30, 2010.

In January 2010, FASB issued amended guidance to improve disclosure about fair value measurements which requires additional disclosures about transfers between Levels 1 and 2 and separate disclosures about purchases, sales, issuances, and settlements in the reconciliation of fair value measurements using significant unobservable inputs (Level 3). FASB also clarified existing disclosure requirements relating to the levels of disaggregation of fair value measurement and inputs and valuation techniques used to measure fair value. Disclosures about purchases, sales, issuances, and settlements in the rollforward of activity in Level 3 fair value measurements are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2010 and for interim periods within those fiscal years. Management is currently evaluating the impact of the additional disclosure requirements on the Fund's financial statements. The remainder of amended guidance is effective for financial statements for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2009 and interim periods within those fiscal years. Management has adopted the amended guidance and determined that there was no material impact to the Fund's financial statements except for additional disclosures made in the notes.

4.  Investment Advisory Fees and Other Transactions

On February 1, 2011, Dundee Corporation, the largest shareholder of DundeeWealth US's parent company, DundeeWealth, sold its ownership interest in DundeeWealth to the Bank of Nova Scotia (the "Transaction"). The Transaction constituted an assignment, automatically terminating the then current investment management agreement between DundeeWealth US and the Trust on behalf of the Fund and the sub-advisory agreement between DundeeWealth US and Smith on behalf of the Fund (together, the "Prior Agreements") in accordance with the 1940 Act. In anticipation of the Transaction, the Board of Trustees approved interim investment management and sub-advisory agreements (the "Interim Agreements") and a new investment management agreement (the "Advisory Agreement") and a new sub-advisory agreement (the "Sub-Advisory Agreement" and, together with the Advisory Agreement, the "New Agreements"). The Interim Agreements provided that, during the interim period between the date of the Transaction and until shareholder approval of the New Agreements was obtained at a special meeting of shareholders of the Fund held on April 8, 2011, DundeeWealth US and Smith were able to continue to act as investment adviser and sub-adviser to the Fund on substantially the same terms and with the same fee structure as the Prior Agreements, except that the compensation

earned by DundeeWealth US and Smith was held in interest bearing escrow accounts until after shareholder approval of the New Agreements on April 8, 2011. Information concerning the Board of Trustees' considerations regarding the Interim and New Agreements is provided under Note 10 and the voting results of the special meeting of shareholders of the Fund is provided under Note 11.

Under the Advisory Agreement, DundeeWealth US is entitled to receive a fee calculated daily and payable monthly at an annual rate of 0.61% of the average daily net assets of the Fund. As investment adviser to the Fund, DundeeWealth US has the ultimate responsibility over Smith and is responsible for the investment performance of the Fund.

Sub-advisory fees are paid by DundeeWealth US, not out of the Fund's assets. In accordance with the terms of the Advisory Agreement and Sub-Advisory Agreement, DundeeWealth US and Smith provide a continuous investment program for the Fund's portfolio, and oversee the administration of all aspects relating to the Fund's business and affairs.

For its services as investment sub-adviser to the Fund, Smith is entitled to receive investment sub-advisory fees from DundeeWealth US at an annualized rate, calculated daily based on the average daily net assets of the Fund and paid monthly. Smith will be paid 0.30% on the first $100,000,000; 0.35% on the next $400,000,000; 0.40% on the next $500,000,000; and 0.35% on the balance of the average daily net assets.

The Adviser has contractually agreed to waive fees and reimburse expenses in order to keep the Fund's total annual operating expenses from exceeding 0.79% for the Class I shares of the Fund until January 31, 2012 ("Expense Limitation"). The Trust has agreed, commencing May 28, 2010, to carry forward, for a period not to exceed three years from the date on which a waiver or reimbursement is made by DundeeWealth US, any fees or expenses in excess of the applicable expense limitation that are waived, reimbursed or assumed by DundeeWealth US under the Expense Limitation and to repay DundeeWealth the amount of such excess fees or expenses. For the six months ended March 31, 2011, the Adviser reimbursed the Fund $146,774. The balance of recoverable expenses to the Adviser at March 31, 2011 was $318,065.

The Trust does not pay any fees to its Officers for their services as such. Currently, Martin Dziura of Cipperman Compliance Services serves as Chief Compliance Officer for the Trust. Mr. Dziura does not receive compensation for this position. However, Cipperman Compliance Services is compensated for the compliance services it provides to the Trust. For the six months ended March 31, 2011, the Fund was allocated $8,350 in Chief Compliance Officer fees. The Trust also pays each Independent Trustee an annual retainer of $10,000, a per meeting fee of $1,500 for quarterly and special meetings, a fee of $1,000 for each Audit Committee meeting and $250 per Fair Value Pricing Committee meeting attended. Trustees are reimbursed for reasonable expenses incurred in attending all meetings.

5.  Other Service Providers

The Trust has entered into an Administration and Accounting Services Agreement with BNY Mellon Investment Servicing (US) Inc. ("BNYMIS"), formerly known as PNC Global Investment Servicing (U.S.) Inc., to provide accounting and administrative services, including regulatory reporting and all necessary office space, equipment, personnel and facilities. BNYMIS also acts as transfer agent and dividend disbursing agent for the Fund. For these services BNYMIS receives a monthly fee based on shareholder processing activity during the month.

Foreside Fund Services, LLC (the "Distributor") serves as the Fund's distributor. The Distributor acts as an agent for the Fund and the distributor of its shares.

PFPC Trust Company acts as custodian (the "Custodian") of the Fund. The Custodian holds cash, securities and other assets of the Fund as required by the 1940 Act. As of April 2011, The Bank of New York Mellon will be the Custodian.

6.  Distributions To Shareholders

The tax character of distributions paid during the fiscal year ended September 30, 2010 was as follows:

    Year Ended

Distribution paid from:  
Ordinary income   $ 119,614    

 

7.  Investment Transactions

Investment transactions for the six months ended March 31, 2011, excluding temporary short-term investments for the Fund, were as follows:

Purchases   Sales  
$ 15,294,415     $ 22,395,970    

 

8.  Federal Income Taxes

The Fund intends to qualify for treatment as a regulated investment company under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and will distribute all its taxable income. In addition, by distributing in each calendar year substantially all its net investment income, capital gains and certain other amounts, if any, the Fund will not be subject to federal income or excise tax.

As of September 30, 2010, the Fund had a capital loss carryforward of $12,482,082, which is available to reduce future required distributions of net capital gains to shareholders. $274,339 is available through 2016; $5,652,354 is available through 2017; and $6,555,389 is available through 2018.

The Fund is required to evaluate tax positions taken or expected to be taken in the course of preparing the Fund's tax returns to determine whether the tax positions are "more-likely-than-not" of being sustained by the applicable tax authority. Income tax and related interest and penalties would be recognized by the Fund as tax expense in the Statement of Operations if the tax positions were deemed not to meet the more-likely-than-not threshold. For the six months ended March 31, 2011, the Fund did not incur any

(Continued)

income tax, interest, or penalties. As of March 31, 2011, the Adviser has reviewed all open tax years and concluded that there was no impact to the Fund's net assets or results of operations. Tax years ended September 30, 2007 through September 30, 2010 remain subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service and state taxing authorities. On an ongoing basis, the Adviser will monitor the Fund's tax positions to determine if adjustments to this conclusion are necessary.

9.  Indemnifications

Under the Trust's organizational documents, its Officers and Trustees are indemnified against certain liability arising out of the performance of their duties to the Trust and the Fund. In addition, in the normal course of business, the Fund enters into contracts with its vendors and others that provide general indemnifications. The Fund's maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown, as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Fund.

10.  Board Considerations Regarding Investment Management Agreement and Sub-Advisory Agreement

As required by the 1940 Act and in anticipation of the Transaction, at a meeting held on December 15, 2010, the Board of Trustees, including all of the Trustees who are not "interested persons" of the Trust ("Independent Trustees"), unanimously approved (i) an interim investment management agreement between the Adviser and the Trust on behalf of the Fund and an interim sub-advisory agreement between the Adviser and Smith Group (together, the "Interim Agreements") and (ii) a new investment management agreement between the Adviser and the Trust on behalf of the Fund and a new sub-advisory agreement between the Adviser and Smith Group (together, the "New Agreements"). The Interim Agreements provided that, during the interim period between the date of the Transaction and until shareholder approval of the New Agreements, the Adviser would continue to act as investment manager to the Fund and Smith Group would continue to act as sub-adviser on substantially the same terms and with the same fee structure as the Prior Agreements, except that the compensation earned by the Adviser and Smith Group would be held in interest bearing escrow accounts until shareholder approval of the New Agreements. Subsequently, at a meeting held on March 24, 2011, the Board, including a majority of the Independent Trustees, unanimously re-approved the New Agreements.

In determining whether to approve the Interim Agreements and New Agreements at the meeting held on December 15, 2010 and whether to approve the New Agreements at the meeting held on March 24, 2011, the Board exercised its business judgment and considered information about the Adviser and certain additional factors described below that the Board deemed relevant. In their deliberations, the Trustees did not rank the importance of any particular piece of information or factor considered, and it is presumed that each Trustee attributed different weights to the various factors. The following summary details the materials and factors that the Board considered, and the conclusions the Board reached, in approving the Interim Agreements and New Agreements.

(1)  The Nature, Extent and Quality of Services Provided by the Adviser and Sub-Adviser.

The Board considered the scope and quality of services provided by the Adviser and Smith Group, particularly the qualifications and capabilities of the personnel responsible for providing services to the Fund. The Trustees noted that, in addition to managing the investment program of the Fund, the Adviser and Sub-Adviser provide, at their expense, personnel responsible for supervising the provision of compliance, administrative services, accounting and related services. The Trustees also considered that the Adviser pays for all compensation of officers of the Trust that are also employees of the Adviser.

The Board considered information it believed necessary to assess the stability of the Adviser and Smith Group as a result of the Transaction and to assess the ongoing nature and quality of services to be provided to the Fund by the Adviser and Smith Group following the closing of the Transaction. The Trustees also considered the details of the anticipated ownership structure of the Adviser following the closing of the Transaction. The Board noted the anticipated long-term nature of the new ownership, and increasing benefits to management from the growth of assets under management, which should help the Adviser retain key management and investment personnel.

The Trustees considered information addressing the projected benefits to the Adviser expected to result from the Transaction. The Trustees considered management's expectation that the Adviser's current management group would remain intact. The Trustees reviewed the Adviser's actions to minimize the likelihood that the Adviser would have any departures of key personnel and whether compensation and other benefits expected to be offered by the Adviser in light of the Transaction would be adequate to attract and retain high-caliber investment and other relevant professional employees.

The Board also considered the integration of Scotiabank's asset management business with that of DundeeWealth, Inc. At the March 24, 2011 meeting, management indicated that Scotiabank has determined to integrate its current asset management business under the leadership of David Goodman of DundeeWealth, Inc. which will provide continuity of leadership for DundeeWealth, Inc. and the Adviser. The Board also considered Scotiabank, which is one of the 5 largest banks in Canada and is its fasting growing as well as its reputation for being well-managed and conservative. In addition, the Board considered the Adviser's efforts both initially and on an ongoing basis to respond to questions from clients, potential clients and other sub-advisers regarding the Transaction and management's representation at the March 24, 2011 meeting that the Fund has not experienced client redemptions as a result of the Transaction.

On the basis of this evaluation, the Board concluded that the nature, quality and extent of services provided by the Adviser and Sub-Adviser were satisfactory.

(2)  The Performance of the Fund and the Adviser and Sub-Adviser.

The Trustees considered the investment experience of the Adviser and Smith Group. The Trustees considered the performance of the Fund as well as historical performance of other accounts managed by Smith Group using investment strategies substantially similar to those of the Fund. The Trustees also reviewed performance and how the Fund ranked versus its respective peer group over various time periods. At the March 24, 2011 meeting, the Board considered that Smith Group had consistently implemented its investment philosophy and that over the long-term, the investment philosophy had historically produced value for shareholders. The Board also considered the Fund's more recent performance and that, although the Fund's 3-year performance was in the fourth quartile versus its peer group (or among the worst performers), the Fund's 1-year performance placed the Fund in the 25th percentile (with the 1st percentile being the best performer) of its peer group.

(3)  Cost of Services Provided and Profits Realized by the Adviser and Sub-Adviser.

In connection with the Trustees' consideration of the level of the advisory fees, the Trustees considered a number of factors. With respect to the Fund, the Board's analysis of the Fund's advisory fee and estimated expenses included a discussion and review of data concerning the current fee and expense ratios of the Fund compared to a peer group. The Board considered the Fund's overall gross expense ratio and net expense ratio, in light of the Adviser's contractual expense limitation agreement, versus its respective peers. The information provided to the Board indicated that while the Fund's overall gross expense ratio was among the highest in its peer group, the Fund's net expense ratio was ranked in the first quartile of its peer group. Management noted that the Adviser did not manage any institutional separate accounts and considered the Fund's sub-advisory fee rates as compared to fees charged by the Sub-Adviser for similarly managed institutional accounts. With respect to institutional accounts, the Board noted that generally, the mix of services provided and the level of responsibility required under the Sub-Advisory Agreement are greater as compared to the Sub-Adviser's obligations for managing the other accounts and that the advisory fees for the other accounts reflect significantly different competitive forces than those in the mutual fund marketplace. The Board considered the Adviser's and Smith Group's profitability. The Board also noted the Adviser's agreement to limit the total expenses of the Fund and that these expense limitations would not be affected by the Transaction. The Board also noted that the Sub-Adviser's fees are paid entirely by the Adviser so that no additional expenses would be borne by shareholders for the engagement of the Sub-Adviser.

(4)  The Extent to Which Economies of Scale Will be Realized as the Fund Grows and Whether Fee Levels Reflect Those Economies of Scale.

The Trustees considered the extent to which economies of scale were expected to be realized relative to fee levels as the Fund's assets grow, and whether the advisory and sub-advisory fee levels reflect these economies of scale for the benefit of shareholders. The Board considered that the Adviser anticipates that the Fund will realize economies of scale as asset levels grow, subject to the Adviser's right to recapture its prior waived fees or reimbursed expenses relating to the Fund. The Trustees also considered the duration of the current fee waiver agreements, noting that the Fund's current fee waiver agreement continues until January 31, 2012.

(5)  Ancillary Benefits and Other Factors.

In addition to the above factors, the Trustees also discussed other benefits received by the Adviser and Smith Group from their management of the Fund, including, without limitation, possible soft dollar benefits and the ability to market their advisory services for similar products in the future. The Trustees also considered the letter agreement entered into between the Adviser and Sub-Adviser which, subject to applicable law and fiduciary duties, could in certain circumstances, allow the Adviser to receive compensation from the Sub-Adviser in the event the Fund is reorganized out of the Trust. The Board considered management's assertion that certain fall-out benefits could ultimately accrue to Scotiabank such as increased product for various distribution channels and the use of Scotiabank's capital markets capabilities. The Board concluded that the advisory fees were reasonable in light of these fall-out benefits.

(6)  Section 15(f) and Rule 15a-4 of the 1940 Act.

At the December 15, 2010 meeting, the Trustees also considered whether the arrangements between the Adviser and the Fund comply with the conditions of Section 15(f) of the 1940 Act. Section 15(f) provides a non-exclusive safe harbor for an investment adviser to an investment company or any of its affiliated persons to receive any amount or benefit in connection with a change in control of the investment adviser so long as two conditions are met. First, for a period of three years after closing of the transaction, at least 75% of the board members of the Trust cannot be "interested persons" (as defined in the 1940 Act) of the investment adviser or predecessor adviser. Second, an "unfair burden" must not be imposed upon the Trust as a result of the transaction or any express or implied terms, conditions or understandings applicable thereto. The term "unfair burden" is defined in Section 15(f) to include any arrangement during the two-year period after the closing of the transaction whereby the investment adviser (or predecessor or successor adviser) or any interested person of any such investment adviser, receives or is entitled to receive any compensation, directly or indirectly, from the Trust or its shareholders (other than fees for bona fide investment advisory or other services) or from any person in connection with the purchase or sale of

(Continued)

securities or other property to, from or on behalf of the Trust (other than bona fide ordinary compensation as principal underwriter for the Trust).

In connection with the first condition of Section 15(f), the Trustees noted that at least 75% of the Trustees are currently not "interested persons" (as defined in the 1940 Act) of the Adviser in compliance with this provision of Section 15(f). With respect to the second condition of Section 15(f), the Adviser has represented that the Transaction will not have an economic impact on the Adviser's ability to provide services to the Fund and no fee increases are contemplated and that, the Transaction will not result in an "unfair burden" (as defined in Section 15(f)) during the two-year period following the closing of the Transaction. The Adviser has represented that neither the Adviser nor any interested person of the Adviser will receive any compensation from the Trust or its shareholders, except as permitted pursuant to Section 15(f).

The Board also considered the requirements of Rule 15a-4. Management represented to the Board that the Transaction complies with all the requirements of Rule 15a-4.

Conclusion

The Board of Trustees, and separately all of the Independent Trustees, concluded that the fees payable under the Interim Agreements and New Agreements were fair and reasonable with respect to the services that the Adviser and Sub-Adviser would provide, in light of the factors described above that the Board deemed relevant. The Board based its decision on an evaluation of all these factors as a whole and did not consider any one factor as all-important or controlling.

11.  Subsequent Events

(1) On April 8, 2011, the Fund held a special meeting of shareholders to:

(1) approve a new investment management agreement between DundeeWealth US and the Trust on behalf of the Fund; and

(2) approve a new sub-advisory agreement between DundeeWealth US and Smith on behalf of the Fund.

Shareholders of record of the Fund on February 1, 2011 were entitled to vote on the proposals.

The proposals were approved by shareholders at the special meeting held on April 8, 2011 and the votes recorded during the special meeting are provided below. Percentage information relates to the votes recorded as a percentage of the outstanding shares on the record date.

    Votes For   Votes Against   Abstained  
Proposal   Number   Percentage   Number   Percentage   Number   Percentage  
(Record date outstanding shares: 5,379,747.4690)  
  1       2,704,248.7740       50.267 %     0       0 %     26,282       0.489 %  
  2       2,703,396.7740       50.251 %     852       .016 %     26,282       0.489 %  

 

(2) On May 25, 2011, PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP (PwC) resigned as independent auditor for the Fund as a result of an independence conflict resulting from the Transaction (discussed under Note 4). KPMG LLP (KPMG) was selected as the Fund's independent auditor. The Fund's selection of KPMG as its independent auditor was recommended by the Fund's audit committee and was approved by the Fund's Board of Trustees on May 25, 2011.

    The report of the financial statements audited by PwC for the Fund for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2010 did not contain an adverse opinion or disclaimer of opinion, and was not qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope or accounting principles. During the fiscal year ended September 30, 2010 and through May 25, 2011 there were no disagreements between the Fund and PwC on any matters of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedures, which disagreements, if not resolved to the satisfaction of PwC would have caused it to make reference to the subject matter of the disagreements in connection with its report on the financial statements of such year.

Management has evaluated the impact on the Funds of all subsequent events through the date the financial statements were issued and has determined that there were no additional subsequent events requiring recognition or disclosure in the financial statements.
