Letter to Shareholders
 
LoCorr Funds seek to provide investments that, over time, will have low correlation to traditional asset classes such as stocks and bonds. We believe that adding low correlating investments to portfolios can significantly reduce the overall portfolio risk while enhancing returns. Correlation measures the degree to which the returns of two investments move together over time. LoCorr offers products that provide the potential for positive returns in rising or falling markets and are designed to generate returns independent of traditional stock, bond and commodity investments. In this report, LoCorr Funds are reporting on six mutual funds: LoCorr Macro Strategies Fund (formerly LoCorr Managed Futures Strategy Fund), LoCorr Long/Short Commodities Strategy Fund, LoCorr Multi-Strategy Fund, LoCorr Market Trend Fund, LoCorr Dynamic Equity Fund (formerly LoCorr Long/Short Equity Fund) and LoCorr Spectrum Income Fund (collectively, the “Funds”).
 
LoCorr Macro Strategies Fund
 
The LoCorr Macro Strategies Fund (the “Macro Strategies Fund” or the “Fund”) seeks capital appreciation as its primary investment objective with managing volatility as a secondary objective. The Fund attempts to achieve its objective by investing in two main strategies – a Managed Futures Strategy and a Fixed Income Strategy.
 
The Fund employs three sub-advisers to manage the managed futures portion of the Fund: Millburn Ridgefield Corporation (“Millburn”), Graham Capital Management, LLC (“Graham”), and Revolution Capital Management, LLC (“Revolution”). Millburn traces its roots back to 1971 and manages approximately $6.0 billion in assets. Graham was founded in 1994 and manages about $15.6 billion in assets. Revolution was founded in 2004 and manages approximately $700 million in assets.
 
Millburn manages a portfolio for the Fund that is similar to its Millburn Diversified Program which commenced operations in 1977. Millburn invests in a diversified portfolio of global futures contracts by combining non-traditional and trend-following strategies in a systematic multi-factor approach. Graham manages a portfolio for the Fund that is similar to its Tactical Trend strategy, a systematic medium- to long-term trend following program that commenced trading in 2006. Revolution manages a strategy for the Fund that is similar to its Alpha Program that has been available in a managed account program since 2007. Revolution employs a short- to medium- term pattern recognition strategy that incorporates trend reversion and counter-trend signals.
 
Performance Summary
For the annual period ended December 31, 2017, the Fund gained +2.96%, ahead of the +0.86% return for the ICE Bank of America Merrill Lynch (“BofAML”) T-Bill Index and the +0.65% return for the Barclays CTA Index. Performance during the year was led by Millburn while Graham also generated positive returns. Revolution had modestly negative returns as a strong fourth quarter was not enough to pull its returns into the black for the year.
 
2017 was largely characterized by a lack of volatility and directionless markets across most asset classes other than equities. Conditions which proved challenging for many systematic strategies. This dynamic shifted, however, during the fourth quarter as trending behavior became more prominent in other asset classes, particularly in commodities. The Fund’s diversified approach of allocating to three complementary sub-advisers helped to limit the Fund’s overall volatility and drawdowns during the year, while generating modestly positive absolute returns. As expected, during the first three quarters of the year when the environment for trend-following was more challenging, Millburn’s multi-factor approach led the way.  Also, as expected, Graham’s trend following approach generated the strongest returns during the fourth quarter while Millburn lagged, as the environment for trend following improved. The target allocation to each sub- adviser remained unchanged during the year:
 
· Millburn: 40%
 
· Graham: 40%
 
· Revolution: 20%
 
Managed Futures Strategy
Equity Indices
 
Trading in Equity Indices was highly profitable during the course of the year and was the primary driver of the Fund’s positive returns. With equity markets rising, seemingly without pause, the Fund was consistently long across markets in the United States (“U.S.”), Europe, and Asia.
 
As we entered 2017, any expectations for a disruption in the markets following the U.S. Presidential elections were short-lived as robust global economic growth, strong corporate profitability, and de-regulation coupled with business-friendly tax reform in the U.S. contributed to soaring equity markets globally.  The markets were not riled by the ongoing development of North Korea’s nuclear missile program and increased banter between President Trump and Kim Jong-un; increased tension with Russia and China; Hurricane Harvey and Irma; nor the three Federal Reserve (“Fed”) rate hikes and the commencement of a balance sheet rationalization program. The risk-on environment seemed nearly immune from any and all external shocks, as nothing seemed to rattle investor confidence.  The CBOE VIX Index, a measure of volatility and widely considered the market’s fear gauge, remained stubbornly near historical lows throughout the year, reaching an all- time low during November.

Fixed Income
Trading in Fixed Income futures was unprofitable during the course of 2017, primarily attributable to losses in the long end of the curve, as market conditions proved challenging for the Fund. With frequent swings in interest rates globally and a sizable reversal in U.S. rates during the period, the Fund’s positioning in the U.S. fluctuated between long and short while positioning in the rest of the world remained long for most of the period.
 
After rallying from July 2016 through the end of that year, the 10-year U.S. Treasury yield was relatively unchanged over the course of 2017. Looking closer, however, the 10-year yield fell from approximately 2.45% at the start of the year to a low of 2.07% in September with frequent swings during that period. From September through the end of the year, the yield reversed course, finishing 2017 approximately at the same level as where it started the year. The yield curve flattened dramatically over the course of 2017 as the U.S. 2-year Treasury approached 2% (crossing above 2% in early 2018). Across the pond, the interest rate environment was marked by trendless conditions with frequent swings. For example, the German 10-year Bund yield generally remained within a range of 0.3% to 0.5% throughout the year with sharp and frequent reversals.
 
Overall, central banks globally continued or, in some cases, began the process to move away from the extraordinarily easy monetary policy in place since the financial crisis. The Federal Reserve increased official interest rates three times; the Bank of Canada raised rates twice; the Bank of England increased rates once; the European Central Bank (“ECB”) decided to scale back its quantitative easing (“QE”) purchase program beginning in January 2018; and the People’s Bank of China moved to scale back economy-wide leverage in China.
 
Foreign Currencies
Trading in Foreign Currencies was unprofitable during 2017, generating the largest losses for the Fund. The year began with the Fund long the U.S. dollar before positioning began gyrating between long and short through May. Generally, from June through late in the year, the Fund remained short the U.S. dollar.
 
Coming into 2017, the U.S. dollar, as measured by the U.S. Dollar Index (a proxy for the U.S. dollar versus a basket of major global currencies), had risen sharply on the back of strong U.S. economic growth, the Fed ahead of the global curve in terms of interest rate normalization, and hope for pro-economic growth regulatory/tax reform. It wasn’t long, however, before the greenback began to weaken, trading in an erratic saw-toothed pattern during the first nine months of 2017 as growth overseas improved and the U.S. political landscape became less certain. The U.S dollar weakness was particularly acute vs. the Euro which climbed to nearly a three-year high versus the greenback, gaining approximately +14% during the year. Other trading pairs, however, like U.S. dollar/Japanese Yen and Australian Dollar/U.S. dollar exhibited less trending activity and were marked by sizable reversals. Overall, the Fund had its largest losses of the year in Foreign Currency trading during the fourth quarter as currency trading became more volatile and rangebound.
 
Commodities
Trading in Commodities was unprofitable during 2017, as gains from long positions in Base Metals were more than offset by losses elsewhere, particularly in Energy and Precious Metal markets where positioning fluctuated between long and short. The overall trading environment across Commodities challenged the Fund during the first three quarters of the year, but was quite profitable in the fourth quarter as long positions in oil and industrial metal markets benefited from spiking prices.
 
It was a tale of two halves for the energy markets in 2017, particularly in oil. During the first half of the year, Brent Crude (as a proxy for oil) prices had a series of sizable reversals, but overall declined; reaching the lows of the year in June at approximately $44 per barrel. Violent price swings and the general decline during that period was largely attributable to shifting sentiment regarding rising U.S. shale production, Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries (“OPEC”)/Russia production cuts, and the U.S. dollar. With OPEC/Russia extending production cuts through the end of 2018 along with declining global oil inventories that were coupled with strong global economic growth, Brent Crude spiked to nearly $67 per barrel by the end of the year. While trading in energy had losses over the course of 2017, long positions during the fourth quarter were quite profitable.
 
In other commodity markets, metal prices rose over the course of 2017, particularly aluminum, copper, and palladium. Strength in base metals, which were the strongest sector within commodities, was largely attributable to declining London Metal Exchange (“LME”) inventories and strong demand, particularly from China. Agricultural commodity prices generally fell, as reports of drought conditions early in the year had little impact on yields resulting in bumper U.S. harvests.
 
Outlook
Looking forward to 2018, we are optimistic regarding the prospects for the Fund. While it is difficult to predict what may derail the second longest bull-market in history, volatility in equities is at all-time lows and current market conditions are more of a statistical anomaly than the norm. There are any number of potential geo-political issues that could cause disruption in the markets. Our expectation is that volatility is likely to move higher from these historic lows which may provide opportunities across various asset classes for the Fund.
 
With the Fed determined to normalize interest rates through rate hikes and balance sheet rationalization, we believe there is the potential for yields to move higher in the U.S. Further, it appears that globally central banks are also moving away from their easy monetary policy so the potential for rates to move higher in international markets also exists. Any movement in rates has implications across Equities, Commodities, and Foreign Currency markets. With the ability to capitalize on upward or downward price movement, the Fund has the potential to benefit from this potential shift in interest rates.
 
Finally, while the Fund is not a dedicated trend-following program, an environment that is more conducive to trend-following could represent a significant tailwind. As we review 2017, trend following began to broaden out beyond equities during the fourth quarter and into early 2018. To the extent this “trend” continues across multiple asset classes in 2018, it would likely provide a boost to the Fund.

We believe the Fund has demonstrated an ability to perform in a variety of market environments including periods of both rising and falling equity prices. Due to the diversified and complementary nature of this multi-manager fund, we expect it to generate less volatile returns than many single manager peers while offering the potential for portfolio diversification compared to traditional asset classes.
 
Fixed Income Strategy
The Macro Strategies Fund invests most of its remaining assets in a Fixed Income Strategy comprised of short to intermediate term investment grade corporate and government agency securities. Nuveen Asset Management, LLC (“Nuveen”) is the sub-adviser for this strategy and manages a shorter duration, high quality portfolio.
 
The fixed income component of the Fund is managed against the Barclay’s 1-5 Government/Credit Index. Returns for the fixed income portfolio in 2017 were +1.65% compared to +1.26% for the benchmark. Given Nuveen’s expectations in 2017 that short term rates would be gradually pressured higher as the Fed continued to normalize policy, the portfolio was focused on generating income while maintaining a defensive interest rate posture. Accordingly, the portfolio was overweight non-government sectors of the bond market and had duration, or interest rate sensitivity, lower than the benchmark.  The increase in rates on the short end allowed the portfolio to outperform, however, a flatter yield curve over the period tempered those gains somewhat.  Overall, the defensive positioning in duration and tighter non-government sector spreads allowed the portfolio to outperform with lower volatility.
 
The duration of the portfolio was managed between 1.8 and 2.0 years during the period versus approximately 2.7 years for the benchmark.  Sector-wise, the portfolio was positioned with an approximately 40% weighting in investment grade corporate bonds along with a 35% aggregate weighting to high quality, short duration securitized instruments. Nuveen’s corporate bond issuer exposure was well diversified with a modest overweight in Financial and Industrials issues.
 
The U.S. economy rebounded from a sluggish first quarter to finish the year near trend growth amid improvements in manufacturing and solid corporate earnings. Despite subdued inflation, the Fed continued along its path of monetary policy normalization raising the federal funds rate by 75 basis points during the year. In addition to interest rate hikes, the Fed also began the process of decreasing the size of its balance sheet by reducing its holding of U.S. Treasuries and mortgage-backed securities. Labor markets remained firm during the year, with the unemployment rate sitting at the lows of the cycle. Financial markets were generally stable throughout the year. Risk assets enjoyed a strong year with equities recording solid gains and credit spreads sitting at post crisis tights, aided by low volatility and supportive financial conditions.
 
The short end of the Treasury curve was pressured higher on solid economic growth and the Fed hiking three times, while the long end was more stable as the market focused on subdued inflation. Given this dynamic, the Treasury curve flattened dramatically throughout the year, with the 2 Year yield rising by 70 basis points and the 10 Year yield approximately unchanged.  Investment-grade credit spreads tightened during the year and posted positive excess returns versus treasuries. Performance was aided by relatively stable credit fundamentals, robust fund inflows and continued overseas demand. Securitized sectors’ spread tightened during the year and recorded positive excess returns versus Treasuries.
 
Nuveen expects U.S. growth to remain near trend, well supported by financial conditions and fiscal stimulus, while inflation will likely remain subdued. Short-term rates may be pressured higher during the year as markets react to the Fed’s interest rate and balance sheet normalization policy. The manager’s current base case expectation is for two Fed rate hikes in 2018. Given Nuveen’s Fed outlook and expectation for higher rates, the investment team anticipates managing the portfolio’s duration defensively versus the benchmark.
 
LoCorr Long/Short Commodities Strategy Fund
 
The LoCorr Long/Short Commodities Strategy Fund (the “Long/Short Commodities Fund” or the “Fund”) provides investors with access to a commodities futures strategy in a mutual fund structure. Historically, many investors have accessed the commodity markets through long-only investments that typically rely on rising commodity prices to generate positive returns. Of course, commodity prices don’t always appreciate and occasionally experience sharp declines as was seen most recently in the 2014 -2015 period. The Long/Short Commodities Fund has the ability to profit while commodity prices increase or decrease. The Fund’s primary investment objective is capital appreciation in rising and falling commodities markets. The Fund attempts to achieve its investment objective by investing in two primary strategies – a Commodities Strategy and a Fixed Income Strategy.
 
The Fund accesses, via a total return swap agreement, the returns of Millburn’s Commodity Program (“MILCOM”), which began trading in 2005 and the returns of J E Moody & Company  Commodity Relative Value Program (“JEM CRV”), which began trading in 2006. MILCOM employs a systematic trading strategy that takes outright long/short positions and relative value spread positions across 40+ commodity futures markets. JEM CRV was added to the Fund during 2016 and employs a market neutral, systematic trading strategy that invests in relative value calendar spread positions across 20+ commodity markets.
 
For the annual period ended December 31, 2017, the Fund’s Class I shares climbed +6.19%, out-distancing the +5.77% move in the S&P GSCI Index and ahead of the +0.86% return for the ICE BofAML T-Bill Index. Both underlying commodity programs, JEM CRV and MILCOM, contributed positive returns during the year. In 2017, the Fund benefitted from profitable trading in relative value spread positions while directional trading was slightly unprofitable. The largest gains during the calendar year were attributable to trading in the Energy sector, with smaller gains from trading in Metals, Livestock, and Softs. Trading in Grains was slightly unprofitable.

Commodity Strategy
Energy
Spread trading in the Energy sector was highly profitable during the period as sizable gains in the 2nd half of the year drove returns for the Fund higher. Directional trading was generally unprofitable in 2017, primarily attributable to several reversals during the second quarter, which caused positioning to shift back and forth between long and short. During 2017, losses from directional trading were largest from outright trading oil, gasoline, and natural gas contracts, which offset gains from trading in Brent Crude, heating oil and United Kingdom natural gas.
 
Energy prices displayed sharp swings within a broad range during 2017. For example, Brent Crude ranged between $44-67 per barrel during the year. During the first half of 2017, Brent Crude (as a proxy for oil) prices had a series of sizable reversals, but overall declined; reaching the lows of the year in June at approximately $44 per barrel before surging in the back half of 2017. Violent price swings and the general decline during that period was largely attributable to shifting sentiment regarding rising U.S. shale production, OPEC/Russia production cuts, and the U.S. dollar. With OPEC/Russia extending production cuts through the end of 2018 along with declining global oil inventories that were coupled with strong global economic growth, Brent crude spiked to nearly $67 per barrel by the end of the year. Further, there were sharp, uncorrelated price movements in crude oil, crude products and natural gas due to the disparate impacts of Hurricane Harvey, especially in August. The interruption of refinery activity and the closure of critical pipelines in the U.S. caused product prices, for example RBOB gasoline, to spike higher while WTI crude prices fell and Brent crude prices moved higher.
 
Metals
Trading in Metals was profitable in 2017. Gains were primarily attributable to profitable directional trading. A long palladium trade and a short platinum trade benefitted from a backlash in Europe against diesel and toward gasoline cars. Palladium is used in catalytic converters in gasoline autos while platinum is used in diesel based catalytic converters. A long zinc trade was also profitable as a shortage of supply, due in part to production-related constraints in China and increased global demand underpinned prices. Relative value trading was slightly profitable during the period as well.
 
Softs
Trading in Softs (generally refers to commodities that are grown rather than mined) was modestly profitable during the period. Directional trading was profitable led by short coffee, sugar, and cocoa positions which benefited from ample inventory and production, which weighed on prices. Spread trading was slightly profitable during the year, notably cocoa positions which faced oversupply conditions early in the year and record production from the Ivory Coast.
 
Grains and Livestock
Trading in Grains was unprofitable during the year due to losses from directional trading, particularly during the second quarter. Drought conditions early in 2017 had little lasting impact on crop yields, as expectations for bumper corn and soybean crops in the U.S. and record wheat and corn harvest in Russia led to declining grain prices which was beneficial to short corn, wheat, and white maize positions during the August through December period. Relative value trading in Grains was slightly profitable during the period.
 
Trading in Livestock was profitable during the period. Gains from calendar spread trading, notably live cattle positions, more than offset a small loss from directional trading that was largely attributable to a short hog trade.
 
Outlook
We believe the Fund has demonstrated an ability to participate in up market environments, as it gained +6.19% in 2017, which was a positive year for the S&P GSCI (+5.77%).
 
With low historical correlation to many major asset classes (-0.22 correlation vs S&P 500 Index; 0.11 correlation vs Bloomberg Barclays US Aggregate Bond Index), and the potential to profit regardless of whether commodity prices are moving higher or lower, we believe the Fund is an ideal solution for investors. Further, in an asset class where long-only investment are prone to sizable drawdowns and considerable volatility, we believe the Fund is simply a smarter solution to investing in the commodity markets.  Regardless of what the environment holds for commodities in 2017, we believe the underlying managers’ models will have the ability to efficiently capture opportunities and generate compelling risk-adjusted returns.
 
Fixed Income Strategy
The Fund invests most of its remaining assets in a Fixed Income Strategy comprised of short to intermediate term investment grade corporate and government agency securities. Nuveen is the sub-adviser for this strategy and manages a shorter duration, high quality portfolio.
 
The fixed income component of the LoCorr Long/Short Commodity (LCSIX) portfolio is managed against the Barclay’s 1-5 Year Government/ Credit Index. Returns for the fixed income portion of the Fund were +1.71% compared to +1.26% for during 2017. The duration of the fixed income component of the Fund was managed between 1.8 and 2.0 years during the period compared to about 2.7 years for the benchmark.  The sub-adviser’s decision to position duration defensively over the period accounted for the outperformance versus the benchmark, while curve positioning was a detractor. The Fund held approximately 40% exposure to investment grade corporate bonds and about 35% aggregate weighting to high quality, short duration securitized instruments. The Fund’s corporate bond issuer exposure was well diversified with a modest overweight in both Financials and Industrials. Given strong returns for non-government securities, the investment manager’s sector strategy was beneficial to returns during the year.

LoCorr Multi-Strategy Fund
 
The objective of the LoCorr Multi-Strategy Fund (the “Multi-Strategy Fund” or the “Fund”) is capital appreciation. It was launched in part due to demand for a Fund that would include a variety of our alternative investment strategies into one investment. Currently, the Fund’s exposure is allocated approximately equally between an equity-oriented portfolio and managed futures driven portfolio. The equity-oriented allocation is comprised of an income-oriented strategy and a long/short strategy while the managed futures allocation is comprised of a diversified multi-asset futures portfolio and a long/short commodity strategy.
 
Portfolio Update
The Fund’s Class I shares gained +5.51% during the year ended December 31, 2017 versus +0.86% for the ICE BofAML T-Bill Index and ahead of the +5.68% for the median manager in the Morningstar Multialternative category. During the year, both the equity-oriented strategy and the managed futures allocations contributed positively to the Fund’s results.
 
Income Strategy
The income portfolio is sub-advised by Trust and Fiduciary Income Partners, Inc. (“TFIP”) which has managed a similar strategy, through a predecessor firm since 2001. The TFIP sub-portfolio was up mid-single digits for the year led by positive contributions from its Closed- End Funds (“CEFs”), Mortgage Real Estate Investment Trust (“Mortgage REITs”), and asset manager positions. These gains were partially offset by losses from Equity Real Estate Investment Trust (“Equity REITs”) holdings as well as Preferred Stock investments. Thematically, the portfolio was positioned to benefit from economic growth, reflation and rising interest rates, and the transportation of energy through a variety of positions including Midstream Master Limited Partnerships (“Midstream MLPs”) and liquid natural gas shippers. Please refer to the commentary above for the LoCorr Spectrum Income Fund to learn more about current portfolio positioning and market outlook.
 
Long/Short Equity Strategy
The long/short equity portfolio is sub-advised by Billings Capital Management LLC (“Billings”) which has managed a similar strategy since the firm’s inception in early 2008. The Billings sub-portfolio was up mid-single digits during 2017, failing to keep pace with the Standard and Poors (“S&P”) 500. Positive absolute returns from its long books were only partially offset by losses in the short book. Billings has a distinct value bias, which created a significant headwind in 2017. To illustrate, value stocks (as represented by the Russell 1000 Value Index) rose a “mere” +13.66% during the period, dramatically underperforming the dizzying +30.21% gain for growth stocks (as represented by the Russell 1000 Growth Index). During the year, Billings’ largest contributions came from long positions in the Financial, Industrial, and Communication sectors which offset losses from Consumer Cyclical positions which was hurt by retail holdings.
 
Managed Futures Strategy
The Fund accesses the returns of Graham’s Tactical Trend strategy, which it has traded since 2006. During the annual period, the Graham Tactical Trend strategy was up slightly which was largely attributable to sizable gains during the fourth quarter. In 2017, trading in Equities generated the largest profit for the Fund while trading in Commodities generated smaller gains. Trading in Fixed Income markets was unprofitable with the largest losses for the year stemming from trading in Foreign Currency markets. Please refer to the commentary above for the LoCorr Market Trend Fund to learn more about current portfolio positioning and market outlook.
 
Commodities Strategy
The Fund accesses the returns of the MILCOM which it has traded since 2005. During 2017, the MILCOM portion of the Fund generated high single-digit returns as losses from directional commodity trading was more than offset by profitable trading in relative value spread positions. Overall, the largest gains in the portfolio were from trading in Energy markets as sizable gains from spread trading in oil and oil- related markets offset losses from directional trading in the sector. Trading in Metals, Softs, and Livestock was also profitable.
 
Outlook
We believe the combination of these complementary managers, each of which has successfully executed similar strategies to the underlying portfolios in the Fund since at least 2008, could produce attractive risk-adjusted returns in the future. While equity markets experienced little volatility in 2017, these conditions represent an aberration from the long-term norm. We believe the niche-equity oriented strategies in the Fund (income focused and long/short) have the potential to perform well in the event volatility resurfaces.  With roughly ½ the exposure derived from a managed futures portfolio, we are pleased that the environment for trend-following improved significantly in the fourth quarter of 2017 and we are optimistic these conditions may persist in 2018.
 
LoCorr Market Trend Fund
 
The LoCorr Market Trend Fund (the “Market Trend Fund” or the “Fund”) was created to provide investors with access to a trend following futures strategy managed by Graham Capital Management (“Graham”).  Graham was founded in 1994 and manages approximately $15.6 billion in assets. The Market Trend Strategy is managed similarly to Graham’s Tactical Trend program, a systematic medium- to long-term trend following strategy that commenced trading in 2006. The Fund seeks capital appreciation as its primary investment objective with managing volatility as a secondary objective. The Market Trend Fund attempts to achieve its objective by investing in two main strategies – a Managed Futures Strategy and a Fixed Income Strategy.

The Fund’s Class I shares gained +3.84% during the year ended December 31, 2017 versus the 0.86% return for the ICE BofAML T-Bill Index and the +2.02% return for the SG Trend Index. With challenging conditions for trend following outside of Equities through the first three quarters of the year, trends in Commodities and segments of the Fixed Income markets became more firmly established during the fourth quarter. With a more supportive environment for trend following, the Fund gained +9.15% during the fourth quarter versus the +7.52% return for the SG Trend Index. During the year, trading in Equities generated the largest profit for the Fund while trading in Commodities generated smaller gains. Trading in Fixed Income markets was unprofitable with the largest losses for the year stemming from trading in Foreign Currency markets.
 
Managed Futures Strategy
Equity Indices
Equity markets both domestically and internationally generally saw price gains of 20 – 30% during 2017. With global equity markets trending higher, without significant interruption throughout the year, the Fund’s long positions were highly profitable in 2017. The Fund was consistently long across markets in the U.S., Europe, and Asia and generated strong profits across all three regions.
 
As we entered 2017, any expectations for a disruption in the markets following the U.S. Presidential elections were short-lived as robust global economic growth, strong corporate profitability, and de-regulation coupled with business-friendly tax reform in the U.S. contributed to soaring equity markets globally.  The markets were not riled by the ongoing development of North Korea’s nuclear missile program and increased banter between President Trump and Kim Jong-un; increased tension with Russia and China; Hurricane Harvey and Irma; nor the three Federal Reserve rate hikes and the commencement of a balance sheet rationalization program. The risk-on environment seemed nearly immune from any and all external shocks, as nothing seemed to rattle investor confidence.  The CBOE VIX Index, a measure of volatility and widely considered the market’s fear gauge, remained stubbornly near historical lows throughout the year, reaching an all-time low during November.
 
Fixed Income
Trading in Fixed Income futures was unprofitable during the course of 2017, primarily attributable to losses in the long end of the curve though trading in the short end also produced losses. In the U.S., positioning fluctuated between short and long as the trend shifted from rising to falling yields before resuming their rise. These reversals during the period were problematic for the sub-adviser’s trend-following approach. The largest losses in Fixed Income trading were from international markets, particularly from European fixed income markets which experienced generally trendless conditions with frequent and rapid reversals.
 
After rallying from July 2016 through the end of that year, the 10-year U.S. Treasury yield was relatively unchanged over the course of 2017. Looking closer, however, the 10-year yield fell from approximately 2.45% at the start of the year to a low of 2.07% in September with frequent swings during that period. From September through the end of the year, the yield reversed course, finishing 2017 approximately at the same level as where it started the year. The yield curve flattened dramatically over the course of 2017 as the U.S. 2-year Treasury yield approached 2% (crossing above 2% in early 2018). Across the pond, the interest rate environment was marked by trendless conditions with frequent swings. For example, the German 10-year Bund yield generally remained within a range of 0.3% to 0.5% throughout the year with sharp and frequent reversals.
 
Overall, central banks globally continued or, in some cases, began the process to move away from the extraordinarily easy monetary policy in place since the financial crisis. The Fed increased official interest rates three times; the Bank of Canada raised rates twice; the Bank of England increased rates once; the ECB decided to scale back its QE purchase program beginning in 2018; and the People’s Bank of China moved to scale back economy-wide leverage in China.
 
Foreign Currencies
Foreign currency markets proved challenging for trend following strategies in general and generated the largest losses for the Fund during
2017. The strengthening U.S. dollar environment (as measured by the U.S. Dollar Index which is a proxy for the U.S. dollar versus a basket of major global currencies) in late 2016 gave way to weakness in 2017, particularly versus currencies like the Euro. Many other currencies, however, saw relatively trendless conditions during the period with significant pricing swings back and forth. These evolving market conditions caused positioning in the Fund to shift overall from long U.S. dollar at the start of the year to short for much of the remainder of 2017. The largest losses during the period were from trading in the Japanese Yen along with the Australian Dollar and British Pound. On the other hand, long positions in the Euro benefitted from the strength in that currency during the period.
 
Coming into the year, the U.S. Dollar Index had risen sharply into early 2017 on the back of strong U.S. economic growth, the Fed ahead of the global curve in terms of interest rate normalization, and hope for pro-economic growth regulatory/tax reform. It wasn’t long, however, before the greenback began to weaken, trading in an erratic saw-toothed pattern during the first nine months of 2017 as growth overseas improved and the U.S. political landscape became less certain. The U.S dollar weakness was particularly acute vs. the Euro as described above, which climbed to nearly a three-year high versus the greenback, gaining approximately 14% during the year. Other trading pairs, however, like U.S. dollar/Japanese Yen and Australian Dollar/U.S. dollar exhibited less trending activity and were marked by sizable reversals.
 
Commodities
Trading in Commodities was slightly profitable during the period, as sizable gains from Base Metals offset losses in Agricultural, Energy, and Precious Metal trading. Long positions in Base Metals benefitted from the strongly upward trending movement in copper, aluminum, and nickel. Aside from Equities, Base Metals were generally the strongest and most consistent trending markets in 2017. Energy trading was slightly negative as the reversals and choppy environment early in the year in the oil markets coupled with the reversal mid-year, caused positioning to shift between long and short, though long positions in the fourth quarter benefitted from the sizable move higher in oil and oil-related commodities.

It was a tale of two halves for the energy markets in 2017, particularly in oil. During the first half of the year, Brent Crude (as a proxy for oil) prices had a series of sizable reversals, but overall declined; reaching the lows of the year in June at approximately $44 per barrel. Violent price swings and the general decline during that period was largely attributable to shifting sentiment regarding rising U.S. shale production, OPEC/Russia production cuts, and the U.S. dollar. With OPEC/Russia extending production cuts through the end of 2018 along with declining global oil inventories that were coupled with strong global economic growth, Brent Crude spiked to nearly $67 per barrel by the end of the year.
 
In other commodity markets, metal prices rose over the course of 2017 as noted above. Strength in Base Metals was largely attributable to declining LME inventories and strong demand, particularly from China. Agricultural commodity prices generally fell, as reports of drought conditions early in the year had little impact on yields resulting in bumper U.S. harvests.
 
Outlook
Looking forward to 2018, we are optimistic regarding the prospects for trend following and believe the Fund can benefit from that potentially improved environment. As we review 2017, trend following began to broaden out beyond Equities during the fourth quarter and into early 2018. This is a significant change versus the first three quarters of the year. To the extent this “trend” continues across multiple asset classes in 2018, it would likely provide a significant boost to the Fund.
 
While it is difficult to predict what may derail the second longest bull-market in history, volatility in equities is at all-time lows and current market conditions are more of a statistical anomaly than the norm. There are any number of potential geo-political issues that could cause disruption in the markets.  Our expectation is that volatility is likely to move higher from these historic lows which may provide opportunities across various asset classes for the Fund.
 
With the Fed determined to normalize interest rates through rate hikes and balance sheet rationalization, we believe there is the potential for yields to move higher in the U.S. Further, it appears that globally central banks are also moving away from their easy monetary policy so the potential for rates to move higher in international markets also exists. Any movement in rates has implications across Equities, Commodities, and Foreign Currency markets. With the ability to capitalize on upward or downward price movement, the Fund has the potential to benefit from this potential shift in interest rates.
 
Fixed Income Strategy
The Fund invests most of its remaining assets in a high quality, short-duration fixed income portfolio comprised of primarily government securities and very highly rated corporate fixed income securities. Nuveen is the sub-adviser for this strategy.
 
The fixed income portion of Market Trend Fund is conservatively managed as a short duration portfolio of the highest credit quality. It is benchmarked against the Barclay’s 1-3 Year Government Index and focuses primarily on U.S. Treasuries and U.S. Government securities, but may own up to 30% in aggregate in corporate, municipal, and asset-backed securities of the highest credit quality. Returns for the fixed income portion of the Fund were +0.69% compared to +0.45% for the benchmark during 2017. Nuveen’s defensive interest rate strategy accounted for a portion of the outperformance relative to the Index, as the sub-adviser had positioned the duration of the portfolio short to the benchmark by between 0.30 to 0.40 years. Curve positioning was a slight detractor to performance. The portfolio generally owned about 25% in non-government securities during the time frame; this was a boost to performance as these securities outperformed government securities in 2017. As of December 31, 2017, portfolio duration was 1.49 years compared to 1.86 years for the benchmark, and about 72% of the portfolio was in U.S. Government debt with the remainder in the highest rated non-government securities.
 
LoCorr Dynamic Equity Fund
 
The LoCorr Dynamic Equity Fund (the “Fund”) seeks long-term capital appreciation with reduced volatility compared to traditional broad- based equity market indices as a secondary objective. Consistent with the “low correlation” our LoCorr Fund family seeks, long/short equity funds have the ability to provide positive returns when equity markets are rising, yet they offer the potential for downside protection when equity prices are falling.
 
The Fund employs two sub-advisers—Billings and Kettle Hill Capital Management (“Kettle Hill”). During 2017, the Fund allocated about 50% of its capital to each sub-adviser. Billings’ strategy is based on a value-oriented, concentrated, fundamental, bottom-up long/short equity approach. Billings seeks to maximize absolute returns, exceeding the S&P 500 index over the long term. The sub-portfolio managed by Billings is similar to a strategy that this manager has executed since 2008 with their current firm and for many years prior to that at a different entity. Kettle Hill seeks to earn superior returns over an investment cycle while focusing on capital preservation and downside volatility. The manager’s investment process combines bottom-up, fundamental analysis with a top-down opportunistic overlay. Investing primarily in small cap securities, Kettle Hill targets a conservative net exposure to the market. The sub-portfolio managed by Kettle Hill is similar to a strategy that this manager has executed since its inception in 2003.
 
Market Commentary
As a surprise to many investors, the S&P 500 Index finished 2017 up 21.83%; its 9th consecutive positive year. 2017 was marked by the absence of volatility. For the first time in history, the S&P 500 Index was positive each and every month during the year. The CBOE VIX Index, a proxy for volatility, reached an all-time low and the Dow Jones Industrial Average went on its longest run in history without having an intraday move of at least +/- 1%. The lack of volatility was remarkable and unprecedented.  We hope that investors do not forget past lessons and remember that volatility can develop quickly and unexpectedly.

The headlines for 2017 are seemingly too numerous to recap ranging from the ongoing progression of North Korea’s nuclear missile program and the related escalating banter to the passage of U.S. tax reform (Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017). The Fed continued its interest rate normalization, hiking rates three times during the year while also beginning the process to unwind its balance sheet. 2016’s big shock, Brexit, is coming to a crescendo with a deal reached but pending legislative approval. How this will affect the European economies is a wait and see game.
 
Portfolio Update
The Fund gained +2.60% (Class I shares) during the year ended December 31, 2017, underperforming the +21.83% surge in the S&P and the +10.74% return for the Morningstar Long/Short Equity Category. Despite the lagging performance in 2017, the Fund remains ranked in the top 7th percentile in the Morningstar Long/Short Equity category over the 3-year period.
 
While performance vs. the S&P 500 Index disappointed in 2017, the Fund faced considerable stylistic headwinds from its value and small cap bias. During the year, large cap growth stocks were the dominant segment of the U.S equity market, leaving value stocks far, far behind. While growth and value stocks go in and out of favor over time, the Fund has had a distinct value bias, creating a significant headwind in 2017. To illustrate, value stocks (as represented by the Russell 1000 Value Index) rose a “mere” +13.66% during the year, dramatically underperforming the dizzying +30.21% gain for growth stocks (as represented by the Russell 1000 Growth Index). Further, using the Russell 2000 Index as a proxy for small cap stocks and the S&P 500 Index as a proxy for large cap stocks, during the year small cap stocks rose +14.65%, lagging the +21.83% gain for large cap stocks. Both Billings Capital and Kettle Hill finished 2017 with positive returns, though both fell short of the meteoric rise in the S&P.
 
While net exposure shifted throughout the year, it reached the high end of its typical 40 – 60% range at the end of the period. The Fund’s long book generated positive returns, though did not keep up with the staggering gains in the benchmark.  The largest gains from positions held long were in the Technology, Financial Services, and Industrial sectors. Credit Acceptance Corp (8.29% position in the Fund), a niche provider of auto dealership financing, gained +48.72% in 2017 as the company’s earnings exceeded expectations over the course of the year and it is expected to be a significant beneficiary from the December tax reform.  In the Technology sector, Match Group Inc., a provider of online dating services under the Match and Tinder brands, among others, was a strong contributor to returns as it made better-than-expected progress on the monetization of its user base at Tinder. In the Industrial sector, MasTec, Inc., an infrastructure construction company, moved higher as the company benefitted from project wins and an ongoing recovery in their business. The position was exited during the year as the sub-adviser believed its valuation had reached levels that were no longer attractive. Other sectors that did well included Communication Services and Basic Material holdings. Partially offsetting these winners were losses in the Consumer Cyclical sector where challenging conditions in retail negatively impacted positions in Signet Jewelers and Tailored Brands, the latter of which was sold out of the portfolio during 2017. The Fund had smaller losses in the Energy and Consumer Defensive holdings.
 
With the surge in the equity markets, the Fund’s short book generated negative returns during the year that partially offset the aforementioned gains from long positions. The largest negative sector was Technology followed by Consumer Cyclical and Basic Materials. The largest individual detractor in the Fund’s short book was a position in a building materials company that was covered during the course of the year. The firm saw its stock appreciate on the continued strength in housing and planned infrastructure spending, as well as being a beneficiary of the tax reform. In the Technology sector, the Fund had a handful of positions including an internet content provider, and electronic gaming, and a software application company see their stock prices move higher which detracted from returns.
 
Outlook
We firmly believe that the stylistic headwinds facing the Fund in 2017 had a material impact on returns last year. Compounding these headwind, as a relatively concentrated Fund, there will be periods where the perceived value in the Fund’s holdings goes unrecognized by the market, leading to underperformance vs. the benchmark.  We remain confident that over the long-term, it is this high conviction, concentrated approach that could enable the Fund to deliver compelling risk-adjusted returns versus the benchmark and peers.
 
Billings - Our outlook for 2018 remains much the same; cautiously optimistic. At today’s prices, markets trading around 19x forward earnings (in our estimation), we believe prospective equity returns will be muted compared  to historical standards. This creates a more attractive value proposition for having capital deployed with a concentrated, deep value equity manager like Billings. We are fully allocated on the long side after holding significant levels of cash at times throughout 2017. While it took longer than in previous years to find new investment opportunities, the deployment of cash on hand is a reminder that uniquely favorable risk/reward opportunities are present in any market environment. It just requires more patience and perseverance when markets are richer.
 
Kettle Hill - It seems as though the expected economic stimulus from the new tax laws may potentially offset the effect of tapering bond purchase programs. While this potentially mitigates the negative impact in the short term, we continue to monitor the situation. We continue to have concerns regarding inflation and are well aware of the late-cycle nature of the market. Further, we are optimistic that continued changes in the regulatory and tax environment, combined with some level of economic uncertainty, will provide fundamentally driven stock pickers like Kettle Hill with interesting opportunities on the long and short side.
 
Thematically, we have added positions that may benefit from a weaker U.S. dollar by virtue of having operations in Europe, or that are competing with European imports. The portfolio has been long interest rate sensitive regional banks that we expect will benefit from lower taxes, deregulation and higher interest rates. Technology continues to be an area of focus with multiple investments in internet companies, video games and software as a service. We continue to be short retail stocks with deteriorating fundamentals that we have uncovered through our channel checks. We have been short semiconductor companies that sell components for mobile phones and trimmed our bet against memory-related companies as they have hit our price targets and our thesis became more widely recognized.

LoCorr Spectrum Income Fund 

 

The LoCorr Spectrum Income Fund (the “Spectrum Income Fund” or the “Fund”) has an objective of current income with capital appreciation as a secondary objective. The Fund is designed to fit within the “low correlation” of the LoCorr Fund family by seeking to provide relatively high levels of income with low correlation to the bond market. The Fund’s sub-adviser is TFIP. TFIP invests in pass-through securities to seek high current income, much of which the Fund distributes monthly to investors.

 

The Fund’s Class I shares gained +3.85% during the annual period ended December 31, 2017 compared with the +3.54% return for the Bloomberg Barclay’s U.S. Aggregate Bond Index. During the year, the Fund benefitted from positive contributions by holdings in CEFs, Mortgage REITs, and asset managers. These gains were partially offset by losses from Equity REITs holdings as well as Preferred Stock investments. 

 

Market Commentary 

Following the U.S. elections in November 2016, capital markets began 2017 with optimism that a pro-business, anti-regulation administration would stimulate positive returns. By the end of 2017, the performance of most major markets by and large exceeded even the staunchest of bullish forecasts. Global markets steadily climbed the wall of worry and shrugged off a myriad of geopolitical concerns ranging from North Korea’s continued development of its nuclear missile program and defiance of the global community; the snap election and Brexit in Great Britain; a more aggressive Russian military; China’s push to dominate the China South Sea; and increased protectionism. Surprisingly, volatility as measured by the CBOE VIX, remained historically low with the S&P 500 Index not experiencing a 5% or greater pullback since June 26th 2016, to this point the second longest streak on record. As advertised, the Fed raised rates three times during 2017, each by 25 basis points. The Fed has indicated that it seeks an orderly normalization of rates as gross domestic product and global growth accelerate, and unemployment decreases. Also, in the Fall the Fed began the process to shrink its balance sheet. Despite this positive economic and market backdrop, inflation remained relatively low. 

 

Portfolio Update 

For the year, the Fund’s best-performing sector, alternative asset manager Publicly Traded Partnerships (“PTPs”), benefited from both the strength in most securities markets allowing managers to monetize investments made during previous cycle lows, as well as continued growth in assets under management leading to greater fee revenue. Mortgage REITs and CEFs were also solid performers. The worst-performing sectors were Equity REITs and Preferred stocks. The Fund’s Equity REITs were hurt by exposure to retail and telecom, while Preferred holdings were negatively impacted by midstream and telecom positions. Fortunately, the Fund’s allocation to Equity REITs and Preferred Stocks in 2017 were not amongst its highest sector exposures. The largest sector exposure during the course of the year was in MLPs. While the Alerian MLP Index (a proxy for MLP performance) produced negative total return in 2017, the Fund’s MLP holdings performed significantly better, generating slightly positive returns. The sub-adviser attributes this outperformance to their adherence to cash flow analysis and focus on each individual company’s ability to generate cash flow in excess of their distributions. 

 

The first quarter was a very positive one for the Fund, albeit tempered by a correction during March when the Fed, as expected, raised interest rates at its mid-March meeting causing bonds to rally and oil prices to fall. By month end, however, oil prices had recovered, though bond rates remained low (perhaps due to continued easy monetary policy abroad) and global economic indicators remained positive. Although most elements of the portfolio posted positive returns, the greatest gains were in financial services firms which benefit from a stronger economy. Alternative asset managers (most commonly focused on private equity or mezzanine debt) did very well, as a positive equity market supports their ability to liquidate private holdings profitably in the public markets. Also performing well were Mortgage Real Estate Investment Trusts. These entities, which invest in mortgage debt, typically prosper when bond rates increase and the yield curve steepens (the spread between their longer-term lending rates and short-term borrowing rates increase). Also contributing to a successful quarter were Business Development Companies, which lend to middle market firms.

 

The second quarter of the year was a rather uneventful one for the Fund, which experienced a slight net gain. Securities markets in the second quarter were, for the most part, liquidity driven, as the major central banks continued their broadly accommodative policies, though signs were beginning to emerge that their largesse would not be unending. In the U. S., the Fed raised rates as expected and gave clear guidance that it would begin to unwind its balance sheet of bonds and mortgages. With this backdrop, stocks moved gradually higher and investment grade bonds rallied, as low inflation, moderate growth, and extremely low interest rates abroad served to anchor U.S. yields. Alternative asset managers continued to benefit from robust public markets which allow them to sell private equity investments at attractive prices. Various fixed income-related holdings such as CEFs, Business Development Companies (“BDCs”), and Mortgage REITs fluctuated modestly with interest rates. Mortgage REITs continued their strong performance, although they corrected sharply in the quarter before resuming their upward trend. The weakest major group of holdings in the portfolio were midstream oil and gas pipelines, which gradually eroded in June. Holdings of renewable energy operators were strong, however.

 

The third quarter of the year was something of a seesaw experience for the Fund, which resulted in a small gain for the period. July was a positive month, bolstered by the recovery of oil prices from their late June lows. Although the fundamentals of the portfolio are not materially affected by the actual price of crude, the Fund’s Midstream MLP holdings tend to trade with the commodity in the short term, despite the fact that their revenues and distributions are tied primarily to volume throughputs, which depend more on the pace of the economy. August saw the portfolio fall back somewhat; principal considerations appeared to be a pullback in the oil price combined with relatively weak performance of mid and smaller cap listed securities such as those represented in the fund, which is probably attributable to the lower liquidity and volumes which usually characterize the vacation month. September saw another recovery, consistent with a return of liquidity, and further increases in oil prices. Performance through the quarter was strongest among the Fund’s asset manager holdings, while energy holdings in the midstream, liquified natural gas (“LNG”), and renewable sectors also performed well.

The final quarter of 2017 was a positive one for the Spectrum Income Fund, though not without some drama. While equities continued their seemingly inexorable rise and bonds maintained their trading range, sentiment continued to trouble midstream energy pipelines through November, at which point they made an apparent bottom. Although the Fund’s midstream pipeline holdings are but one element of a diversified portfolio of pass-through securities, they represented a sufficient portion of the portfolio to cause a drag on total return. Although global demand for energy continued to grow and the price of oil continued its ascent, sentiment toward pipelines remained negative despite volume growth and the maintenance of distributions among our holdings. The investment team attributes this underperformance to a combination of tax loss selling late in the year and lack of interest in the sector by general equity managers, who were understandably drawn to growth sectors with outstanding performance this year, particularly in technology. Performance this quarter was again led by the Fund’s market sensitive asset manager holdings. Among energy-related holdings, refiners were consistently strong through the quarter, as these companies benefitted from widening crack spreads due to a shortage of refined products following storms in the Gulf Coast and outages in energy production overseas. LNG-related shippers and processors also did well. Mall Equity REITs suffered as concerns continued regarding competition from online retail, though the sub-adviser considers this sentiment vastly overdone with respect to the holdings in the portfolio. Legacy wire line companies also struggled, dealing with customer loss and questions around mergers. 

 

Outlook 

Looking ahead, TFIP remains optimistic regarding prospects for the portfolio as the investment team continues to focus on securities benefiting from a modestly faster pace of economic growth, reduced regulation, and possibly some inflation. The team remains cognizant that appreciation potential for all assets may be limited by increases in interest rates and that distributions of individual securities can be affected by operational developments. In the sub-adviser’s view, the value proposition of the portfolio is extremely attractive right now because the average holding in the portfolio is trading far below its highs of the past three years, and the portfolio’s current yield is close to its highest spread above that of traditional bond indexes.

 

As we enter 2018, the team at TFIP will remain vigilant regarding possible signs that the benign investment backdrop of the past year may be coming to an end. Although strong growth continues to be evident around the world, the Fed is expected to continue to raise rates and normalize its balance sheet while central banks globally also appear to be moving away from their easy monetary policies. Additionally, bond rates appear to be rising around the world, as are signs of commodity and perhaps wage inflation. Beyond the traditional risks of a maturing investment cycle, of course, there are also geopolitical risks such as trade wars or a conflict on the Korean peninsula. While timely prediction of such developments is difficult at best, the investment team will continue to construct and diversify the portfolio to minimize the potential consequences of such events. 

 

Offsetting these concerns are the continuation of recent constructive economic fundamentals in the U.S. and abroad and the tax cut/reform bill passed by the U.S. Congress and enacted into law by the President. Coming as it did as something of a surprise, it represented a major boost to the markets. Ordinary equities will of course see a reduced corporate income tax. Pass through holdings, which of course do not pay corporate income tax, received a major boost as well. As the sub-adviser understands the new tax law, there will be a sizable deduction on the income upon which holders of pass through securities must pay tax. We believe this provision will not only increase the after-tax income from these securities on which we focus (currently, mutual funds will not benefit directly from this tax law change), but also increase investor interest in this sector. This may improve valuations of our holdings as well. 

 

As we enter 2018, we are optimistic about the potential return of the portfolio. The investment team is finding significant values with sustainable cash flow among the mid to smaller cap securities in its income-based opportunity set. The portfolio continues to be positioned to take advantage of higher economic growth and higher interest rates, and expect increased market interest to come to this sector as equity managers weigh their value relative to last year’s high growth winners. TFIP is cognizant, however, of emerging interest rate and inflation risks, and stand ready to adjust the portfolio as needed to address such developments.

Alpha is an annualized return measure of how much better or worse a fund’s performance is relative to an index of funds in the same category, after allowing for differences in risk. Basis Points (bps) - A unit that is equal to 1/100th of 1%, and is used to denote the change in a financial instrument. The basis point is commonly used for calculating changes in interest rates, equity indexes and the yield of a fixed-income security. Duration is a commonly used measure of the potential volatility of the price of a debt security, or the aggregate market value of a portfolio of debt securities, prior to maturity. Securities with a longer duration generally have more volatile prices than securities of comparable quality with a shorter duration. Investment Grade refers to bonds that are rated BBB or higher. Bond ratings are grades given to bonds that indicate their credit quality as determined by private independent rating services such as Standard & Poor’s, Moody’s and Fitch. These firms evaluate a bond issuer’s financial strength, or its ability to pay a bond’s principal and interest in a timely fashion. Ratings are expressed as letters ranging from ‘AAA’, which is the highest grade, to ‘D’, which is the lowest grade. Spread is the percentage point difference between yields of various classes of bonds compared to treasury bonds. Yield Curve is a line that plots the interest rates, at a set point in time, of bonds having equal credit quality, but differing maturity dates. The most frequently reported yield curve compares the three-month, two-year, five-year and 30-year U.S. Treasury debt. The curve is used to predict changes in economic output and growth.

Mutual fund investing involves risk. Principal loss is possible. The LoCorr Macro Strategies Fund, LoCorr Long/Short Commodities Strategy Fund, LoCorr Market Trend Fund and LoCorr Spectrum Income Fund are diversified funds. The LoCorr Multi-Strategy Fund the and the LoCorr Dynamic Equity Fund are each non-diversified funds, meaning they may invest their assets in fewer individual holdings than a diversified fund. Therefore, those Funds are more exposed to individual stock volatility than a diversified fund. The Funds invest in foreign investments and foreign currencies which involve greater volatility and political, economic and currency risks and differences in accounting methods. The Funds may make short sales of securities, which involves the risk that losses may exceed the original amount invested. Investing in commodities may subject the Funds to greater risks and volatility as commodity prices may be influenced by a variety of factors including unfavorable weather, environmental factors, and changes in government regulations. The Funds may invest in derivative securities, which derive their performance from the performance of an underlying asset, index, interest rate or currency exchange rate. Derivatives can be volatile and involve various types and degrees of risks, and, depending upon the characteristics of a particular derivative, suddenly can become illiquid. Investments in debt securities typically decrease in value when interest rates rise. This risk is usually greater for longer-term debt securities. Investments in Asset Backed, Mortgage Backed, and Collateralized Mortgage Backed Securities include additional risks that investors should be aware of such as credit risk, prepayment risk, possible illiquidity and default, as well as increased susceptibility to adverse economic developments. Investments in Real Estate Investment Trusts (REITs) involve additional risks such as declines in the value of real estate and increased susceptibility to adverse economic or regulatory developments. 

 

Derivative contracts ordinarily have leverage inherent in their terms which can magnify a Fund’s potential for gains or losses through increased long and short position exposure. A Fund may access derivatives via a swap agreement. A risk of a swap agreement is the risk that the counterparty to the agreement will default on its obligation to pay the Fund.

 

A Fund will incur a loss as a result of a short position if the price of the short position instrument increases in value between the date of the short position sale and the date on which an offsetting position is purchased.

 

Investments in small- and medium-capitalization companies involve additional risks such as limited liquidity and greater volatility. Investments in lower rated and non-rated securities presents a greater risk of loss to principal and interest than higher-rated securities. ETF investments are subject to investment advisory and other expenses, which will be indirectly paid by the Fund. As a result, the cost of investing in the Fund will be higher than the cost of investing directly in ETFs and may be higher than other mutual funds that invest directly in stocks and bonds. ETFs are subject to specific risks, depending on the nature of the ETF.

 

A Fund’s portfolio will be significantly impacted by the performance of the real estate market generally, and a Fund may be exposed to greater risk and experience higher volatility than would a more economically diversified portfolio. Property values may fall due to increasing vacancies or declining rents resulting from economic, legal, cultural, or technological developments. Investments in Limited Partnerships (including master limited partnerships) involve risks different from those of investing in common stock including risks related to limited control and limited rights to vote on matters affecting the Limited Partnership, risks related to potential conflicts of interest between the Limited Partnership and the Limited Partnership’s general partner, cash flow risks, dilution risks and risks related to the general partner’s limited call right.

This chart illustrates the performance of a hypothetical $100,000 investment made in the Fund since inception. Assumes reinvestment of distributions, but does not reflect the effect of any applicable sales charge or redemption fees. This chart does not imply any future performance. Performance will vary from class to class based on differences in class-specific expenses and sales charges. The returns do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on Fund distributions or the redemption of Fund shares.
Performance data represents past performance; past performance does not guarantee future results. The investment return and principal value of an investment will fluctuate so that an investor’s shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. Current performance of the Fund may be lower or higher than the performance quoted. Performance data current to the most recent month end may be obtained by calling 1.855.LCFUNDS, or visiting www.LoCorrFunds.com.
 
Performance data shown reflects the Class A maximum sales charge of 5.75% and reflects the Class C Contingent Deferred Sales Charge (CDSC) of 1.00%. Performance of the Class A without load does not reflect the deduction of the sales load or fee. If reflected, the load or fee would reduce the performance quoted.
 
The returns reflect the actual performance for each period and do not include the impact on trades executed on the last business day of the period that were recorded on the first business day of the next period.
 
Per the fee table in the Fund’s May 1, 2017 prospectus, the Fund’s annual operating expense ratio is 2.31%, 3.06% and 2.06% for Class A, Class C and Class I shares, respectively.

LoCorr Investment Trust
Notes

December 31, 2017

1. Organization
 
LoCorr Investment Trust (the “Trust”),  an Ohio business trust, was formed on November 15, 2010  and is an open-end management investment company registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940,  as amended (“1940  Act”). Each Fund is an investment company and accordingly follows the investment company accounting and reporting guidance of the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”)  Topic 946, Financial Services - Investment Companies. The LoCorr Macro Strategies Fund (formerly known as the LoCorr Managed Futures Strategy Fund), LoCorr Long/Short Commodities Strategy Fund, LoCorr Multi-Strategy Fund, LoCorr Market Trend Fund, LoCorr Dynamic Equity Fund (formerly known as the LoCorr Long/Short Equity Fund) and the LoCorr Spectrum Income Fund (individually a “Fund”  and collectively the “Funds”)  are series within the Trust. The LoCorr Multi-Strategy Fund and the LoCorr Dynamic Equity Fund are each non-diversified funds. The LoCorr Macro Strategies Fund, the LoCorr Long/Short Commodities Strategy Fund, the LoCorr Market Trend Fund and the LoCorr Spectrum Income Fund are each diversified funds.
 
The LoCorr Macro Strategies Fund’s primary investment objective is capital appreciation in rising and falling equity markets with managing volatility as a secondary objective.

The LoCorr Long/Short  Commodities  Strategy Fund’s primary investment objective is capital appreciation in rising and falling commodities markets with managing  volatility as a secondary objective.

The LoCorr Multi-Strategy Fund’s investment objective is capital appreciation.

The LoCorr Market Trend Fund’s primary investment objective is capital appreciation in rising and falling equity markets with managing volatility as a secondary objective.

The LoCorr Dynamic Equity Fund’s primary investment objective is long-term  capital appreciation  with reduced  volatility compared  to traditional broad-based equity market indices as a secondary objective.

The LoCorr Spectrum Income Fund’s primary investment objective is current income with capital appreciation as a secondary objective.

Wholly-owned and Controlled Subsidiaries
 
In order to achieve their investment objectives, the LoCorr Macro Strategies Fund, the LoCorr Long/Short Commodities  Strategy Fund, the LoCorr Multi-Strategy Fund and the LoCorr Market Trend Fund each invest up to 25%  of their total assets (measured at the time of purchase) in wholly-owned subsidiaries, LCMFS Fund Limited (“LCMFS”),  LCLSCS Fund Limited (“LCLSCS”), LCMSF Fund Limited (“LCMSF”)  and LCMT Fund Limited (“LCMT”),  respectively; each company is incorporated under the laws of the Cayman Islands. LCMFS, LCLSCS,  LCMSF and LCMT act as investment vehicles in order to enter into certain investments for the LoCorr Macro Strategies Fund, the LoCorr Long/Short Commodities Strategy Fund, the LoCorr Multi-Strategy Fund and the LoCorr Market Trend Fund, respectively, consistent with their investment objectives and policies specified in the Prospectus and Statement of Additional Information.

 At December 31, 2017,  investments in LCMFS, LCLSCS,  LCMSF and LCMT represented 2.06%, 25.01%, 33.38% and 3.90% of the total net assets of LoCorr Macro Strategies Fund, LoCorr Long/Short Commodities Strategy Fund, LoCorr Multi-Strategy Fund and LoCorr Market Trend Fund, respectively. At December 31, 2017,  the LoCorr Multi-Strategy Fund’s investments in LCMSF exceeded the 25%  of total assets limit, however, the Fund was deemed to be in compliance pursuant to acceptable regulatory exceptions.

The consolidated financial statements of the LoCorr Macro Strategies Fund, LoCorr Long/Short Commodities Strategy Fund, LoCorr Multi- Strategy Fund and the LoCorr Market Trend Fund each include the investment activity and financial statements of LCMFS,  LCLSCS,  LCMSF and LCMT, respectively. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. Because each Fund may invest a substantial portion of its assets in its respective subsidiary, the Fund may be considered to be investing indirectly in some of those investments through its subsidiary. For that reason, references to the Fund may also encompass its subsidiary. The subsidiary will be subject to the same investment restrictions and limitations, and follow the same compliance policies and procedures, as the Fund when viewed on a consolidated basis. Each Fund and its subsidiary are a “commodity pool” under the U.S. Commodity Exchange Act and LoCorr Fund Management, LLC (the “Adviser” or “Management”)  is a “commodity  pool operator” registered with and regulated by the Commodity  Futures Trading Commission (“CFTC”).  As a result, additional CFTC-mandated  disclosure, reporting and recordkeeping obligations apply with respect to each Fund and its respective subsidiary under CFTC  and the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission  (the “SEC”)  harmonized regulations.

At December 31, 2017,  the only investment held by LCLSCS  and LCMSF are swap contracts, for which the notional amount was $73,100,000 and $28,101,783,  respectively. At December 31, 2017,  LCLSCS and LCMSF reported unrealized depreciation on swap contracts of $11,519,719 and $460,266,  respectively. In addition, LCLSCS  and LCMSF hold cash and cash equivalents as collateral on the swap contracts.

At December 31, 2017,  investments held by LCMFS and LCMT include open futures contracts and other investments intended to serve as margin or collateral for futures positions. At December 31, 2017,  LCMFS held long open futures contracts with a total notional amount of $265,337,571 and net unrealized appreciation of $15,012,074 and short open futures contracts with a total notional amount of $125,713,218 and net unrealized depreciation of $2,693,256. At December 31, 2017,  LCMT held long open futures contracts with a total notional amount of $401,398,021 and net unrealized appreciation of $25,475,123 and short open futures contracts with a total notional amount of $147,255,836 and net unrealized depreciation of $966,862.

2. Significant Accounting Policies
The following is a summary of significant accounting policies consistently followed by the Funds in the preparation of the consolidated financial statements. These policies are in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“GAAP”).

Investment Valuation
The Funds follow fair valuation accounting standards in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 820,  Fair Value Measurement, which establish a definition of fair value and set out a hierarchy for measuring fair value. These standards require additional disclosures about the various inputs and valuation techniques used to develop the measurements of fair value and changes in valuation techniques and related inputs during the period. These inputs are summarized in three broad levels listed below:

Level 1 – Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the Funds have the ability to access.

Level 2 – Observable inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly. These inputs may include quoted prices for the identical instrument on an inactive market, prices for similar instruments, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, yield curves, default rates and similar data.

Level 3 – Unobservable inputs for the asset or liability, to the extent relevant observable inputs are not available; representing the Funds’ own assumptions about the assumptions a market participant would use in valuing the asset or liability, and would be based on the best information available.
 
Generally, the Funds’ investments are valued each day at the last quoted sales price on each investment’s primary exchange. Investments traded or dealt in upon one or more exchanges (whether domestic or foreign) for which market quotations are readily available and not subject to restrictions against resale shall be valued at the last quoted sales price on the primary exchange or, in the absence of a sale on the primary exchange, at the last bid on the primary exchange. Investments primarily traded in the National Association of Securities Dealers’ Automated Quotation System (“NASDAQ”) National Market System for which market quotations are readily available shall be valued using the NASDAQ Official Closing Price.

The Funds may use independent pricing services to assist in calculating the value of the Funds’ investments. In addition, market prices for foreign investments are not determined at the same time of day as the net asset value (“NAV”)  for the Funds. Because the Funds may invest in portfolio investments primarily listed on foreign exchanges and these exchanges may trade on weekends or other days when the Funds do not price their shares, the value of some of the Funds’ portfolio investments may change on days when you may not be able to buy or sell the Funds’ shares. In computing the NAV, the Funds value foreign investments held by the Funds at the latest closing price on the exchange in which they are traded immediately prior to closing of the NYSE. Prices of foreign investments quoted in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollars at current rates. If events materially affecting the value of an investment in the Funds’ portfolio, particularly foreign investments, occur after the close of trading on a foreign market but before the Funds price their shares, the investment will be valued at fair value.

American Depositary Receipts
 
The Funds may invest in sponsored and unsponsored American Depositary Receipts (“ADRs”),  which are receipts issued by an American bank or trust company evidencing ownership of underlying securities issued by a foreign issuer. ADRs, in registered form, are designed for use in U.S. securities markets. Unsponsored ADRs may be created without the participation of the foreign issuer. Holders of unsponsored ADRs generally bear all the costs of the ADR facility, whereas foreign issuers typically bear certain costs in a sponsored ADR. The bank or trust company depositary of an unsponsored ADR may be under no obligation to distribute shareholder communications received from the foreign issuer or to pass through voting rights. ADRs are generally categorized in Level 1 or Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy depending on inputs used and market activity levels for specific securities.

Equity Securities
 
Equity securities, including common stocks, preferred stocks, securities convertible into common stocks, such as convertible bonds, warrants, rights, options, master limited partnership (“MLP”)  interests, real estate investment trusts (“REITs”),  business development  companies  and royalty trusts are generally valued by using market quotations, but may be valued on the basis of prices furnished by a pricing service when the Adviser believes such prices accurately reflect the fair market value of such securities. MLP interests are limited partnerships, the interests in which (known as “units”)  typically trade publicly, like stock. MLPs are also called publicly traded partnerships and public limited partnerships. Securities that are traded on any stock exchange or on the NASDAQ over-the-counter market are generally valued by the pricing service at the last quoted sale price. Lacking a last sale price, an equity security is generally valued by the pricing service at its last bid price. Equity securities are generally categorized in Level 1 or Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy depending on inputs used and market activity levels for specific securities.

Exchange Traded Funds
 
The Funds may invest in Exchange Traded Funds (“ETFs”).  They are managed by professionals and provide the investor with diversification, cost and tax efficiency, liquidity, marginability, usability for hedging, the ability to go long and short, and (for some ETFs) the provision of periodic distributions. Additionally, some ETFs are unit investment trusts (“UITs”),  which are unmanaged portfolios overseen by trustees. ETFs generally have two markets. The primary market is where institutions swap “creation  units” in block-multiples  of shares, typically 25,000 or 50,000, for in-kind securities and cash in the form of dividends. The secondary market is where individual investors can trade as little as a single share during trading hours on the exchange. This is different from open-ended mutual funds that are traded after hours once the NAV is calculated. ETFs share many similar risks with open-end and closed-end funds. ETFs are generally categorized in Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy.

The Funds may invest in ETFs and other investment companies that hold a portfolio of foreign securities. Investing in securities of foreign companies and countries involves certain considerations  and risks that are not typically associated with investing in U.S. government securities and securities of domestic companies.  There may be less publicly available information about a foreign issuer than a domestic one, and foreign companies are not generally subject to uniform accounting, auditing and financial standards and requirements comparable to those applicable to U.S. companies. There may also be less government supervision and regulation of foreign securities exchanges, brokers and listed companies than exists in the United States. Interest and dividends paid by foreign issuers may be subject to withholding and other foreign taxes, which may decrease the net return on such investments as compared to dividends and interest paid to the Funds by domestic companies or the U.S. government. There may be the possibility of expropriations, seizure or nationalization of foreign deposits, confiscatory taxation, political, economic  or social instability, or diplomatic developments that could affect assets of the Funds held in foreign countries. Finally, the establishment of exchange controls or other foreign governmental laws or restrictions could adversely affect the payment of obligations.

Fixed Income Securities
 
Fixed income securities and certificates of deposit with maturities more than 60 days when acquired generally are valued using an evaluated price supplied by an independent pricing service. Inputs used by the pricing service for U.S. government and treasury securities are normally valued using a model that incorporates market observable data such as reported sales of similar securities, broker dealer quotes, yields, bids, offers and reference data. Agency issued debt securities, foreign issued bonds and municipal bonds are generally valued in a manner similar to U.S. government securities. Evaluations for corporate bonds are typically based on valuation methodologies  such as market pricing and other analytical pricing models as well as market transactions and dealer quotations based on observable inputs. Fixed income securities are generally categorized in Level 1 or Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy depending on inputs used and market activity levels for specific securities.

The fair value of asset backed securities and mortgage backed securities is estimated on models that consider the estimated cash flows of each tranche of the entity, establish a benchmark yield, and develop an estimated tranche-specific spread to the benchmark yield based on the unique attributes of the tranche. Additional inputs such as creditworthiness of the underlying collateral and quotes from outside brokers for the same or similar issuance may also be considered in the development of fair value. Asset backed and mortgage backed securities are generally categorized in Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.

Short-term investments in fixed income securities and certificates of deposit with maturities of less than 60 days when acquired, or which subsequently are within 60 days of maturity, are valued using an amortized cost method of valuation, and are generally categorized in Level 2.

Investment Companies
 
With respect to any portion of the Funds’ assets that are invested in one or more open-end management investment companies, including money market funds, registered under the 1940  Act, the Funds’ NAV is calculated based upon the NAVs of those open-end management investment companies,  and the prospectuses for these companies  explain the circumstances  under which those companies  will use fair value pricing and the effects of using fair value pricing.

The Funds generally will purchase shares of closed-end  investment companies  only in the secondary market. The shares of many closed-end  investment companies,  after their initial public offering, frequently trade at a price per share that is less than the net asset value per share, the difference representing the “market discount” of such shares. This market discount may be due in part to the investment objective of long-term appreciation,  which is sought by many closed-end investment companies, as well as to the fact that the shares of closed-end investment companies are not redeemable by the holder upon demand to the issuer at the next determined net asset value but rather are subject to the principles of supply and demand in the secondary market. A relative lack of secondary market purchasers of closed-end investment company shares also may contribute to such shares trading at a discount to their NAV. Closed-end  investment companies are generally categorized in Level 1 or Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy depending on inputs used and market activity levels for specific securities.

Financial Derivative Instruments

Financial derivative instruments, such as forward currency contracts,  futures contracts,  or swap agreements,  derive their value from underlying asset prices, indices, reference rates and other inputs or a combination of these factors. These contracts are normally valued on the basis of broker- dealer quotations or a pricing service at the settlement price determined by the relevant exchange. Depending on the product and the terms of the transaction, the value of the derivative contracts can be estimated by a pricing service provider using a series of techniques,  including simulation pricing models. The pricing models use inputs that are observed from actively quoted markets such as issuer details, indices, spreads, interest rates, curves, dividends and exchange rates.

Forward currency contracts represent the purchase or sale of a specific quantity of a foreign currency at the current or spot price, with delivery and settlement at a specified future date. Forward currency contracts are presented at fair value using spot currency rates and are adjusted for the time value of money (forward points) and contractual prices of the underlying financial instruments. Forward currency contracts are generally categorized in Level 2.

Futures contracts are carried at fair value using the primary exchange’s closing (settlement) price, and are generally categorized in Level 1.
 
Total return swap contracts are stated at fair value daily based on the fair value of the underlying futures and forward currency contracts constituting the contract’s stated index, taking into account any fees and expenses associated with the swap agreement. Total return swap contracts are generally categorized in Level 2.

Fair Value Pricing

If market quotations are not readily available, investments will be valued at their fair value as determined in good faith by the Adviser in accordance with procedures approved by the Board of Trustees (the “Board”)  and evaluated by the Board as to the reliability of the fair value method used. In these cases, a Fund’s NAV will reflect certain portfolio investments’ fair value rather than their market price. Fair value pricing involves subjective judgments and it is possible that the fair value determined for an investment is materially different than the value that could be realized upon the sale of that investment. The fair value prices can differ from market prices when they become available or when a price becomes available.

Fair value determinations are required for the following securities:

securities for which market quotations are not readily available at the valuation time on a particular business day (including without limitation securities for which there is a short and temporary lapse in the provision of a price by the regular pricing source);

securities for which market quotations are not readily available at the valuation time on a particular business day (including without limitation securities for which there is a short and temporary lapse in the provision of a price by the regular pricing source);

securities determined to be illiquid in accordance  with the Trust’s Liquidity Procedures; and

securities with respect to which an event that will affect the value thereof has occurred subsequent to the determination by the Adviser/relevant Sub-Adviser of the closing prices reported on the principal exchange on which the securities are traded, but prior to the relevant Fund’s calculation of its NAV.

For any open-end mutual funds that do not provide timely NAV information, the Adviser/relevant Sub-Adviser shall evaluate those ‘similar’ funds and determine which are most appropriate based on funds having similar benchmarks or similar objectives. The Adviser/relevant Sub-Adviser shall then calculate the NAV percentage move of those ‘similar’ funds for the day to create an aggregate average percentage move, which it shall use to calculate the price movement for the day of the Fund at issue. For closed-end funds, the aforementioned practice shall be utilized, in addition to monitoring secondary market activity during the day.

Performing Fair Value Pricing

The Adviser considers all appropriate factors relevant to the value of securities for which market quotations are not readily available. No single standard for determining fair value can be established, since fair value depends upon the circumstances  of each individual case. As a general principle, the current fair value of an issue of securities being valued by the Adviser would appear to be the amount that the owner might reasonably expect to receive for them upon their current sale. Methods that are in accord with this principle may, for example, be based on:

a multiple of earnings;

a discount from market of a similar freely traded security (including a derivative security or a basket of securities traded on other markets, exchanges or among dealers); or

yield to maturity with respect to debt issues, or a combination of these and other methods.

Fair value determinations are not based on what the Adviser believes that a buyer may pay at a later time, such as when market conditions change or when the market ultimately recognizes a security’s true value as perceived by the Adviser. Similarly, bonds and other instruments may not be fair valued at par based on the expectation that the Funds will hold the investment until maturity.

Some of the general factors that the Adviser considers in determining a valuation method for an individual issue of securities include, but shall not be limited to:

the fundamental analytical data relating to the investment;
 
the nature and duration of restrictions (if any) on disposition of the securities;
 
evaluation of the forces that influence the market in which these securities are purchased or sold;
 
changes in interest rates; changes in interest rates;
 
government (domestic or foreign) actions or pronouncements;  and
 
other new events other news events.

With respect to securities traded on foreign markets, the Adviser considers the value of foreign securities traded on other foreign markets, ADR trading, closed-end fund trading, foreign currency exchange activity and the trading prices of financial products that are tied to baskets of foreign securities, such as WEBS.

Among the more specific factors that the Funds’ Adviser considers (if applicable) in determining a valuation method for an individual issue of securities are:

type of security;type of security;
 
financial statements of the issuer;
 
cost at date of purchase;
 
size of holding; size of holding;
 
discount from market value of unrestricted securities of the same class at time of purchase;
 
special reports prepared by analysts; special reports prepared by analysts;
 
information as to any transactions or offers with respect to the security;
 
existence of merger proposals or tender offers affecting the securities;
 
price and extent of public trading in similar securities of the issuer or comparable companies; and
 
other relevant matters other relevant matters.

As a general matter, the Funds’ Adviser will value the portfolio security or other asset primarily by reference to the public market if there is a public market for securities of the same class or similar securities; primarily by reference to private transactions if public market reference is not available and private transaction reports are available; and primarily by use of one or more analytical methods or models if public and private market references are not available or not reliable. The Adviser will use cost only if no better method of valuation is available.

The Adviser regularly evaluates whether its pricing methodologies continue to result in values that the Funds might reasonably expect to receive upon a current sale. In order to do this, the Adviser compares its fair value prices with values that are available from other sources (if there are any). The next actual sales price of a security might be one such source. However, the next-day opening prices or next actual sales prices for a security may differ from the fair value of that security as of the time for NAV calculation, given the subjectivity inherent in fair valuation and the fact that events could occur after NAV calculation. Thus, discrepancies between fair values and next-day opening prices or next actual sales prices may occur on a regular and recurring basis. These discrepancies do not necessarily indicate that the Adviser’s fair value methodology is inappropriate. Nonetheless, systematic comparisons of fair values to the next-day opening prices or next actual sales prices are useful to assist the Adviser with ongoing monitoring and evaluation of the appropriateness of its fair value methodologies.

The above guidance does not purport to delineate all factors that may be considered. The Adviser takes into consideration all indications of value available to it in determining the fair value assigned to a particular security.

Allocation of Income and Expenses

Net investment income, other than class specific expenses, and realized and unrealized gains and losses are allocated daily to each class of shares based upon the relative NAV of outstanding shares of each class of shares at the beginning of the day (after adjusting for the current capital shares activity of the respective class). Expenses associated with a specific Fund in the Trust are charged to that Fund. Common  expenses are typically allocated based upon the relative net assets of each Fund, or by other equitable means.

Deposits with Broker
Forward Currency and Futures Contracts
When trading derivative instruments, such as forward or futures contracts, a Fund is only required to post initial or variation margin with the exchange or clearing broker. The use of margin in trading these instruments has the effect of creating leverage, which can expose the Fund to substantial gains or losses occurring  from relatively small price changes in the value of the underlying instrument and can increase the volatility of the Fund’s returns. Volatility is a statistical measure  of the dispersion of returns of an investment,  where higher volatility generally indicates greater risk. At December 31, 2017,  the LoCorr Macro Strategies Fund and the LoCorr Market Trend Fund pledged cash and cash equivalents at U.S. Bank, N.A. (“U.S. Bank”) of $16,760,000  and $31,090,000,  respectively, to Bank of America Merrill Lynch for each Fund’s investment in forward currency contracts.

Upon entering into a futures contract, and to maintain the Fund’s open positions in futures contracts, the Fund is required to deposit with its custodian or futures broker in a segregated account in the name of the futures broker an amount of cash, U.S. government securities, suitable money market instruments, or other liquid securities, known as “initial margin.” The margin required for a particular futures contract is set by the exchange on which the contract is traded, and may be significantly modified from time to time by the exchange during the term of the contract. Futures contracts are customarily purchased and sold on margins that may range upward from less than 5% of the value of the contract being traded.

At December 31, 2017,  the LoCorr Macro Strategies Fund and LCMFS,  collectively, had $54,537,819 in cash and cash equivalents on deposit with the broker for derivative instruments which is presented on the Fund’s consolidated statement of assets and liabilities. In addition, LCMFS pledged securities with a fair value of $11,717 as collateral for derivative instruments.

At December 31, 2017,  the LoCorr Market Trend Fund and LCMT, collectively, had $56,197,183 in cash and cash equivalents (including foreign currency) on deposit with the broker for derivative instruments which is presented on the Fund’s consolidated statement of assets and liabilities. In addition, LCMT pledged securities with a fair value of $354,170 as collateral for derivative instruments.

If the price of an open futures contract changes (by increase in underlying instrument or index in the case of a sale or by decrease in the case of a purchase) so that the loss on the futures contract reaches a point at which the margin on deposit does not satisfy margin requirements, the broker will require an increase in the margin. However, if the value of a position increases because of favorable price changes in the futures contract so that the margin deposit exceeds the required margin, the broker will pay the excess to the Fund.

These subsequent payments, called “variation margin,” to and from the futures broker (with the exception of futures contracts traded on the London Metal Exchange (“LME”)), are made on a daily basis as the price of the underlying assets fluctuate making the long and short positions in the futures contract more or less valuable, a process known as “marking  to the market”. The variation margin on LME futures contracts do not settle daily, but rather settle at their respective maturity dates. At period end, the unrealized appreciation and depreciation on LME futures contracts is shown as receivable for unsettled open futures contracts and payable for unsettled open futures contracts, respectively, on the Fund’s consolidated statements of assets and liabilities. The Funds expect to earn interest income on any margin deposits.

Securities Sold Short
At December 31, 2017,  the LoCorr Multi-Strategy Fund and the LoCorr Dynamic Equity Fund had cash on deposit with the broker-dealer in the amount of $379,628 and $9,264,729,  respectively. In addition, at December 31, 2017,  the LoCorr Dynamic Equity Fund pledged cash of $6,000,000, as collateral for securities sold short.

Swap Contracts
LCLSCS and LCMSF have a substantial portion of their assets on deposit with Deutsche Bank in connection with their trading of swap contracts. Assets deposited with Deutsche Bank in connection with the trading of swap contracts for LCLSCS  and LCMSF are partially restricted due to deposit requirements. At December 31, 2017,  the LoCorr Long/Short Commodities Strategy Fund and the LoCorr Multi-Strategy Fund had cash and cash equivalents on deposit with Deutsche Bank in the amount of $21,546,058  and $12,213,357,  respectively, which have been presented on the consolidated statements of assets and liabilities for each Fund. In addition, at December  31, 2017, the LCLSCS and LCMSF pledged securities with a fair value of $466,558 and $202,140, respectively, as collateral for swap contracts. Risks arise from the possible inability of the counterparty to meet the term of its contract and may increase if the counterparty’s financial condition worsens.

Distributable Earnings and Investment Transactions

Net investment income and net realized gains (losses) may differ for financial reporting and tax purposes because of temporary or permanent book/tax differences. To the extent these differences are permanent; reclassifications are made to the appropriate equity accounts in the period that the difference arises. 
 
Additionally, GAAP requires that certain components of net assets relating to permanent differences be reclassified between financial and tax reporting. These reclassifications have no effect on net assets or NAV per share. See Note 7.

Distributions to Shareholders

Shareholder transactions are recorded on trade date. Dividends from net investment income are declared and paid at least annually by the Funds. Distribution of net realized capital gains, if any, are declared and paid at least annually. Distributions to shareholders are recorded on  the ex-dividend date. The character of distributions made during the periods from net investment income or net realized gains may differ from the characterization for federal income tax purposes due to the difference in the recognition of income, expense and gain items for financial statement and tax purposes.

In 2017,  the dividends for the LoCorr Multi-Strategy Fund and the LoCorr Spectrum Income Fund were distributed monthly. The estimated characterization  of the distributions paid will be an ordinary dividend, qualified dividend or return of capital. This estimate is based on each Fund’s operating results during the period. It is anticipated that a significant portion of the distributions of the Funds’ investments in MLP and certain investments in REITs and royalty trusts will be comprised of return of capital as a result of the tax character of cash distributions made by each Fund’s investments. The actual characterization of the distributions made during the period is not determined until after the end of the fiscal year.

The tax character of distributions paid during the periods was as follows:

Federal Income Taxes

The Funds intend to qualify as regulated investment companies pursuant to Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986,  as amended. The Funds intend to distribute substantially all of their investment company net taxable income and net capital gains to shareholders. Therefore, no federal income tax provision is required.

As of and during the year ended December 31, 2017,  the Funds did not have any tax positions that did not meet the “more-likely-than-not” threshold of being sustained by applicable tax authorities. The Funds recognize interest and penalties, if any, related to unrecognized  tax benefits on uncertain tax positions as interest or other expense in the statements of operations. During the year ended December 31, 2017, the Funds did not incur any interest or penalties.

For tax purposes, LCMFS, LCLSCS,  LCMSF and LCMT are exempted Cayman Islands investment companies. LCMFS, LCLSCS,  LCMSF and LCMT have each received an undertaking from the Government of the Cayman Islands exempting them from all local income, profits, and capital gains taxes. No such taxes are levied in the Cayman Islands at the present time. For U.S. income tax purposes, LCMFS,  LCLSCS,  LCMSF, and LCMT are controlled foreign corporations (“CFCs”) and as such are not subject to U.S. income tax. However, as a wholly-owned CFC, the net income and capital gain of each CFC, to the extent of its earnings and profits, will be included each year in the respective Funds’ investment company taxable income.

Foreign Securities and Currency

Investment securities and other assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollar amounts at the date of valuation. Purchases and sales of investment securities and income and expense items denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollar amounts on the respective dates of such transactions.

The Funds do not isolate that portion of the results of operations resulting from changes in foreign exchange rates on investments from the fluctuations arising from changes in market prices of securities held. Such fluctuations are included with the net realized and unrealized gain or loss from investments.

Reported net realized foreign exchange gains or losses arise from sales of foreign currencies, currency gains or losses realized between the trade and settlement dates on securities transactions, and the difference between the amounts of dividends, interest, and foreign withholding taxes recorded on the Funds’ books and the U.S. dollar equivalent of the amounts actually received or paid. Net unrealized foreign exchange gains and losses arise from changes in the fair values of assets and liabilities, other than investments in securities at period end, resulting from changes in exchange rates.

Forward Currency Contracts

Gains or losses are realized when foreign currency contracts are liquidated. Any change in net unrealized gain or loss is reported in the statements of operations.

Futures Contracts

A futures contract provides for the future sale by one party and purchase by another party of a specified amount of a specific financial instrument (e.g., units of a stock index) for a specified price, date, time and place designated at the time the contract is made. Brokerage fees are incurred when a futures contract is bought or sold and margin deposits must be maintained. Entering into a contract to buy is commonly referred to as buying or purchasing a contract or holding a long position. Entering into a contract to sell is commonly referred to as selling a contract or holding a short position.

Unlike when a Fund purchases or sells a security, no price would be paid or received by the Fund upon the purchase or sale of a futures contract.

Although certain futures contracts, by their terms, require actual future delivery of and payment for the underlying instruments, in practice most futures contracts are usually closed out before the delivery date. Gains or losses are realized when contracts are liquidated. Closing out an open futures contract purchase or sale is affected by entering into an offsetting futures contract sale or purchase, respectively, for the same aggregate amount of the identical underlying instrument or index and the same delivery date. If the offsetting purchase price is less than the original sale price, the Fund realizes a gain; if it is more, the Fund realizes a loss. Conversely, if the offsetting sale price is more than the original purchase price, the Fund realizes a gain; if it is less, the Fund realizes a loss.

The transaction costs must also be included in these calculations. There can be no assurance, however, that a Fund will be able to enter into an offsetting transaction with respect to a particular futures contract at a particular time. If a Fund is not able to enter into an offsetting transaction, the Fund will continue to be required to maintain the margin deposits on the futures contract.

Any change in net unrealized gain or loss is reported in the statements of operations.

Indemnifications

In the normal course of business, the Funds enter into contracts that contain general indemnifications to other parties. The Funds’ maximum exposure under these contracts is unknown as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Funds that have not yet occurred. However, based on experience, the Funds expect the risk of loss to be remote.

Market and Credit Risks

The Funds may engage in the speculative trading of U.S. and foreign futures, forward currency and swap contracts (collectively, “derivatives”). The Funds are exposed to both market risk, which is the risk arising from changes in the fair value of the contracts and credit risk, which is the risk of failure by another party to perform according to the terms of a contract.

Purchase and sale of futures contracts requires margin deposits with the broker. Additional deposits may be necessary for any loss on contract value. The Commodity Exchange Act requires a broker to segregate all customer transactions and assets from such broker’s proprietary activities. A customer’s cash and other property (for example, U.S. government securities) deposited with a broker are considered commingled  with all other customer funds subject to the broker’s segregation requirements. In the event of a broker’s insolvency, recovery may be limited to a pro rata share of segregated funds available. It is possible that the recovered amount could be less than total cash and other property deposited.

For derivatives, risks arise from changes in the fair value of the contracts. Theoretically, the Funds are exposed to a market risk equal to the notional contract value of swap, futures and forward currency contracts  purchased  and unlimited liability on such contracts  sold short.

The Funds also engage in investing its assets in U.S. government securities. Risks arise from investments in U.S. government securities due to possible market illiquidity. U.S. government securities are also sensitive to changes in interest rates and economic  conditions.

The Funds have established procedures to actively monitor market risk and minimize credit risk, although there can be no assurance that they will, in fact, succeed in doing so.

New Accounting Pronouncements and/or SEC Regulatory Updates

In October 2016,  the SEC adopted new rules and amended existing rules (together, final rules) intended to modernize the reporting and disclosure of information by registered investment companies. In part, the final rules amended Regulation S-X and require standardized, enhanced disclosures about derivatives in investment company financial statements, as well as other amendments.  As of August 1, 2017, management has implemented the amendments to Regulation S-X, which did not have a material impact on the Funds’ financial statements and related disclosures or impact the Funds’ net assets or results of operations.

In March 2017,  FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2017-08, Receivables—Nonrefundable Fees and Other Costs (Subtopic 310-20):  Premium Amortization on Purchased Callable Debt Securities. The amendments in the ASU shorten the amortization period for certain callable debt securities, held at a premium, to be amortized to the earliest call date. The ASU does not require an accounting change for securities held at a discount; which continues to be amortized to maturity. The ASU is effective for fiscal years and interim periods within those fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018.  Management is currently evaluating the impact, if any, of applying this provision.

Options on Securities

The Funds may purchase and write (i.e., sell) put and call options. Such options may relate to particular securities or stock indices, and may or may not be listed on a domestic or foreign securities exchange and may or may not be issued by the Options Clearing Corporation.  Option trading is a highly specialized activity that entails greater than ordinary investment risk. Options may be more volatile than the underlying  instruments, and therefore, on a percentage basis, an investment in options may be subject to greater fluctuation than an investment in the underlying instruments themselves.

A call option for a particular security gives the purchaser of the option the right to buy, and the writer (seller) the obligation to sell, the underlying security at the stated exercise price at any time prior to the expiration of the option, regardless of the market price of the security. The premium paid to the writer is in consideration for undertaking the obligation under the option contract. A put option for a particular security gives the purchaser the right to sell the security at the stated exercise price at any time prior to the expiration date of the option, regardless of the market price of the security.

A Fund’s obligation to sell an instrument subject to a call option written by it, or to purchase an instrument subject to a put option written by it, may be terminated prior to the expiration date of the option by the Fund’s execution of a closing purchase transaction, which is effected by purchasing on an exchange an option of the same series (i.e., same underlying instrument, exercise price and expiration date) as the option previously written. A closing purchase transaction will ordinarily be effected to realize a profit on an outstanding option, to prevent an underlying instrument from being called, to permit the sale of the underlying instrument or to permit the writing of a new option containing different terms on such underlying instrument. The cost of such a liquidation purchase plus transactions costs may be greater than the premium received upon the original option, in which event the Fund will have incurred a loss in the transaction. There is no assurance that a liquid secondary market will exist for any particular option. An option writer unable to effect a closing purchase transaction will not be able to sell the underlying instrument or liquidate the assets held in a segregated account,  as described below, until the option expires or the optioned instrument is delivered upon exercise. In such circumstances,  the writer will be subject to the risk of market decline or appreciation in the instrument during such period.

If an option purchased by a Fund expires unexercised, the Fund realizes a loss equal to the premium paid. If a Fund enters into a closing sale transaction on an option purchased by it, the Fund will realize a gain if the premium received by the Fund on the closing transaction is more than the premium paid to purchase the option or a loss if it is less. If an option written by a Fund expires on the stipulated expiration date or if the Fund enters into a closing purchase transaction,  it will realize a gain (or loss if the cost of a closing purchase transaction exceeds the net premium received when the option is sold). If an option written by the Fund is exercised, the proceeds of the sale will be increased by the net premium originally received and the Fund will realize a gain or loss.

Security Transactions and Investment Income

Security transactions are recorded on trade date. Generally, realized gains and losses on sales of investments are calculated on the specifically identified cost basis of the securities.

In accordance  with the investment restrictions outlined within the Funds’ respective prospectuses, each Fund may invest up to 15%  of its net assets in illiquid securities. Illiquid securities may include securities subject to contractual or legal restrictions on resale (e.g., because they have not been registered under the Securities Act) and securities that are otherwise not readily marketable (e.g., because trading in the security is suspended or because market makers do not exist or will not entertain bids or offers). Securities that have not been registered under the Securities Act are referred to as private investments or restricted securities and are purchased directly from the issuer or in the secondary market. Foreign securities that are freely tradable in their principal markets are not considered to be illiquid. Under guidelines adopted by the Trust’s Board, the Adviser of the Funds may determine that particular Rule 144(a) securities, and commercial paper issued in reliance on the private placement exemption from registration afforded by Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act, are liquid even though they are not registered. At December 31, 2017,  the Adviser deemed all of the restricted securities held in the LoCorr Macro Strategies Fund, the LoCorr Long/Short Commodities Strategy Fund and the LoCorr Market Trend Fund to be liquid. At December 31, 2017,  there were no illiquid or restricted securities held in the LoCorr Multi-Strategy Fund, the LoCorr Dynamic Equity Fund or the LoCorr Spectrum Income Fund.

Dividend income, less foreign taxes withheld, if any, are recorded on the ex-dividend date.

Distributions received from the investments in MLP interests, REITs, private investments and royalty trusts generally are comprised of ordinary income, capital gains and return of capital. For financial statement purposes, the Funds use estimates to characterize these distributions received as return of capital, capital gains or ordinary income. Such estimates are based on historical information available from each MLP, REIT, private investment or royalty trust and other industry sources. These estimates may subsequently be revised based on information received from the MLP, REIT, private investment or royalty trust after their tax reporting periods are concluded,  as the actual character of these distributions is not known until after the fiscal year end of the Funds. The distributions received from the MLP, REIT, private investment and royalty trust securities that have been classified as income and capital gains are included in investment income and net realized gain (loss) on investments, respectively, on the statement of operations. The distributions received that are classified as return of capital reduce the cost of investments on the statements of assets and liabilities. For the year ended December 31, 2017,  the Funds estimated that 100%  of the MLP distributions received would be treated as return of capital.

Interest income and expense are recognized on the accrual basis. Market discounts, premiums and original issue discounts on fixed-income securities are amortized daily over the expected life of the security using the effective yield method.

Short Sales

The Funds may sell securities short. A short sale is a transaction in which a Fund sells a security it does not own or have the right to acquire (or that it owns but does not wish to deliver) in anticipation that the market price of that security will decline.

When a Fund makes a short sale, the broker-dealer through which the short sale is made must borrow the security sold short and deliver it to the party purchasing the security. The Funds are required to make a margin deposit in connection with such short sales; the Funds may have to pay a fee to borrow particular securities and will often be obligated to pay over any dividends and accrued interest on borrowed securities.

If the price of the security sold short increases between the time of the short sale and the time a Fund covers its short position, the Fund will incur a loss; conversely, if the price declines, the Fund will realize a gain. A gain, limited to the price at which the Fund sold the security short, or  a loss, unlimited in size, will be recognized upon the close of a short sale. Any gain will be decreased,  and any loss increased, by the transaction costs described above. The successful use of short selling may be adversely affected by imperfect correlation between movements in the price of the security sold short and the securities being hedged. Gains or losses from closed positions of securities sold short are presented as net realized gain or loss on securities sold short on the statements of operations.

In addition, the Funds are required to pay the lender any dividends declared on short positions. Dividends declared on open short positions are recorded on ex-date and shown as an expense for financial reporting purposes. To borrow the security, the Funds also may be required to pay fees, which are shown as an expense for financial reporting purposes.

To the extent the Funds sell securities short, it will provide collateral to the broker-dealer and (except in the case of short sales “against the box”) will maintain additional asset coverage in the form of cash, U.S. government securities or other liquid securities with its custodian in a segregated account in an amount at least equal to the difference between the current fair value of the securities sold short and any amounts required to be deposited as collateral with the selling broker (not including the proceeds of the short sale). A short sale is “against the box” to the extent the Funds contemporaneously own, or have the right to obtain at no added cost, securities identical to those sold short. Short sales are collateralized by cash deposits with the counterparty broker and pledged securities held at the custodian, U.S. Bank. The collateral required is determined daily by reference to the fair value of the short positions.

Total Return Swap Contracts

The Funds may enter into total return swap agreements. A total return swap entered into by the Funds is a derivative contract that transfers the market risk of underlying portfolios of futures contracts, forward currency contracts and foreign currencies (considered the “index”  within each total return swap contract) between counterparties. The “notional amount”  of each total return swap agreement is the agreed upon amount or value of the index used for calculating the returns that the parties to a swap agreement have agreed to exchange. The total return swaps are marked to market daily and any change is recorded in unrealized gain/loss on the consolidated statements of operations based on the value of the index on which the total return swap is referenced, as defined within the total return swap agreement between the counterparties. The composition of the index may vary based on how the underlying portfolio of futures contracts, forward currency contracts and foreign currencies  is traded. A Fund’s obligation under a total return swap agreement, including any related fees, offset against amounts owed to the Fund in the case of positive performance, will be covered by designating liquid assets on the Fund’s books and records (see the consolidated statement of assets and liabilities for deposits with broker for derivative instruments). Gains or losses will be realized when the total return swap contracts are liquidated and will be presented as net realized gain or loss on swap contracts on the consolidated statements of operations. Changes in notional value and any cash holding adjustments, which represent voluntary realizations by a Fund of swap value at any point in time, are also presented as net realized gain or loss on swap contracts on the consolidated statements of operations. Further, any cash holding adjustments realized by a Fund are subject to interest charges, which are recorded as part of unrealized gain/loss on the consolidated statements of operations. A corresponding  asset or liability for “advance  receipt on swap contracts”  or “advance  payment on swap contracts”,  respectively, is recorded on the consolidated statements of assets and liabilities for the gain or loss realized on changes in notional value. Total return swaps outstanding at period end, if any, are listed after the Funds’ consolidated schedules of investments.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Warrants

The Funds may invest in warrants. Warrants are options to purchase common stock at a specific price (usually at a premium above the market value of the optioned common stock at issuance) valid for a specific period of time. Warrants may have a life ranging from less than one year to twenty years, or they may be perpetual. However, most warrants have expiration dates after which they are worthless. In addition, a warrant is worthless if the market price of the common stock does not exceed the warrant’s exercise price during the life of the warrant. Warrants have no voting rights, pay no dividends and have no rights with respect to the assets of the corporation issuing them. The percentage increase or decrease in the market price of the warrant may tend to be greater than the percentage increase or decrease in the market price of the optioned common stock.

3.  Derivative and Other Financial Instruments

The Funds may invest in derivatives such as futures, forward currency and swap contracts, in order to hedge against market movements while liquidating certain positions and buying other securities or as substitutes for securities, as well as for speculative purposes to gain exposure to such market movements.

The Funds’ market risk related to their derivatives trading is influenced by a wide variety of factors, including  the level and volatility of interest rates, exchange rates, weather, supply and demand of commodities, the market value of futures and forward currency contracts, the diversification effects among the Funds’ open positions, and the liquidity of the markets in which they trade.
 
The following are the primary trading risk exposures by market sector of the Funds as encompassed  in the total return swap contracts:

Agricultural. (grains, livestock and softs). The Funds’ primary exposure is to agricultural price movements which are often directly affected by severe or unexpected weather conditions.

Currencies. Exchange rate risk is a principal market exposure of the Funds. The Funds’ currency exposure is to exchange rate fluctuations, primarily fluctuations which disrupt the historical pricing relationships between different currencies and currency pairs. The fluctuations are influenced by interest rate changes as well as political and general economic conditions. The Funds trade in a large number of currencies including cross-rates – e.g., positions between two currencies other than the U.S. dollar.

Energy. The Funds’ primary energy market exposure is to gas and oil price movements, often resulting from political developments in the Middle East and economic conditions worldwide. Energy prices are volatile and substantial profits and losses have been and are expected to continue to be experienced in this market.
 
Interest rates. Interest rate movements directly affect the price of the sovereign bond futures positions held by the Funds and indirectly the value of its stock index currency positions. Interest rate movements in one country as well as relative interest rate movements between countries may materially impact the Funds’ profitability. The Funds’ primary interest rate exposure is to interest rate fluctuations in countries or regions including Australia, Canada, Japan, Switzerland, the United Kingdom, the United States and the Eurozone. However, the Funds also may take positions in futures contracts on the government debt of other nations. The Funds anticipate that interest rates in these industrialized countries or areas, both long-term and short-term, will remain a primary market exposure of the Funds for the foreseeable future.
 
Metals. The Funds’ metals market exposure is to fluctuations in the price of aluminum, copper, gold, lead, nickel, palladium, tin, silver and zinc.
 
Stock index. The Funds’ equity exposure, through stock index futures, is to equity price risk in the major industrialized countries as well as other countries.
 
At December 31, 2017, the LoCorr Macro Strategies Fund, the LoCorr Long/Short Commodities Strategy Fund, the LoCorr Multi-Strategy Fund and the LoCorr Market Trend Fund held derivative and other financial instruments which are not subject to a master netting arrangement. As the tables below illustrate, no positions are netted in these consolidated financial statements.

The Funds have adopted authoritative standards regarding disclosure about derivatives and hedging activities and how they affect the Funds’ consolidated statements of assets and liabilities and consolidated statements of operations. Fair value of swap contracts are recorded in the consolidated statements of assets and liabilities as net unrealized gain on swap contracts or net unrealized loss on swap contracts and net unrealized appreciation of swap contracts or net unrealized depreciation of swap contracts.
 
Since the derivatives held long or short are for speculative trading purposes, the derivative instruments are not designated as hedging instruments. Accordingly, all realized gains and losses, as well as any change in net unrealized gains or losses on open contracts from the preceding period, are recognized as part of realized and unrealized gain (loss) in the consolidated statements of operations.
 
The following table presents the fair value of consolidated derivative instruments for the LoCorr Macro Strategies Fund, the LoCorr Long/Short Commodities Strategy Fund, the LoCorr Multi-Strategy Fund and the LoCorr Market Trend Fund as of December 31, 2017 as presented on the Fund’s consolidated statement of assets and liabilities:

5. Management Fees and Other Transactions with Affiliates

Management Agreement
The Trust has a Management Agreement with the Adviser, with whom certain officers and Trustees of the Funds are affiliated, to furnish investment advisory services to the Funds. Pursuant to the Amendment  to the Management  Agreement, the Adviser is entitled to receive a fee as follows:

Fund
Annual Advisory Fee as a Percentage
of the Average Daily Net Assets of the Fund
LoCorr Macro Strategies Fund
   1.75%*
LoCorr Multi-Strategy Fund
1.75%
LoCorr Market Trend Fund
1.50%
LoCorr Dynamic Equity Fund
2.45%
LoCorr Spectrum Income Fund
1.30%

*Effective May 1, 2017,  the trustees of the LoCorr Macro Strategies Fund approved an amended Management Agreement pursuant to which the Adviser receives a rate of 1.75%  of the Fund’s average daily net assets. For the period from January 1, 2017 through April 30, 2017,  the adviser had received a rate of 1.85%  of the Fund’s average daily net assets.

Pursuant to the amended Management Agreement, the Adviser is entitled to receive a fee, in accordance  with the Incremental Advisory Fee schedule below based on the LoCorr Long/Short Commodities  Strategy Fund’s average daily net assets.

Net Assets for the LoCorr Long/Short
Incremental**
Commodities Strategy Fund
Advisory Fee
$0.0 - $0.5 billion
1.50%
$0.5 - $1.0 billion
1.40%
$1.0 - $1.5 billion
1.30%
$1.5 - $2.0 billion
1.20%
$2.0 - $2.5 billion
1.10%
Over $2.5 billion
1.00%

**Incremental  advisory fee represents the fees paid on net assets at the related net asset level. For example, with $3 billion in net assets in a Fund, the Adviser would earn 1.50% on the first $500  million, plus 1.40%  on the next $500 million, plus 1.30%  on the next $500 million, plus 1.20%  on the next $500 million, plus 1.10%  on the next $500 million, plus 1.00%  on the final $500 million.

Undistributed income or net realized gains for financial statement purposes may differ from amounts recognized for federal income tax purposes due to differences in the recognition and characterization of income, expense and capital gain items. The difference between book-basis and tax-basis unrealized appreciation (depreciation) is attributed primarily to the tax deferral of losses on wash sales, investments in partnerships and other temporary differences.

8. Line of Credit
 
The Trust entered into an unsecured, uncommitted Loan Agreement (“Line of Credit” or “LOC”) with U.S. Bank not individually but as an umbrella facility on behalf of the Funds in the Trust. The LOC expires on March 12, 2018. The LOC was established to provide the Funds a temporary short-term liquidity source, subject to certain restrictions, covenants and the right of setoff on the Funds’ assets, to meet unanticipated redemptions. Under terms of the LOC, borrowings for each Fund are limited to the lesser of one-third of the total unencumbered assets (including the amount borrowed) of the respective Fund, 5% of the gross assets of the respective Fund or $50 million in the aggregate for all of the Funds under this agreement. U.S. Bank charges an interest rate per annum equal to the Prime Rate (4.50% as of December 31, 2017).

Opinion on the Financial Statements

We have audited the accompanying consolidated statements of assets and liabilities, including the consolidated schedules of investments, open forward currency contracts, swap contracts, securities sold short, and open futures contracts, of LoCorr Macro Strategies Fund (formerly known as LoCorr Managed Futures Strategy Fund), LoCorr Long/Short Commodities Strategy Fund, LoCorr Multi-Strategy Fund, and LoCorr Market Trend Fund, and the accompanying statements of assets and liabilities, including the schedules of investments and securities sold short, of LoCorr Dynamic Equity Fund (formerly known as LoCorr Long/Short Equity Fund) and LoCorr Spectrum Income Fund (the “Funds”), each a series of LoCorr Investment Trust, as of December 31, 2017, and the related consolidated statements of operations for the year then ended, the consolidated statements of changes in net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended, including the related notes, and the consolidated financial highlights for each of the periods presented in the period then ended of LoCorr Macro Strategies Fund, LoCorr Long/ Short Commodities Strategy Fund, LoCorr Multi-Strategy Fund, and LoCorr Market Trend Fund, and the related statements of operations for the year then ended, the statements of changes in net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended, including the related notes, and the financial highlights for each of the periods presented in the period then ended of LoCorr Dynamic Equity Fund and LoCorr Spectrum Income Fund (collectively referred to as the “financial statements”). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of each of the Funds constituting LoCorr Investment Trust as of December 31, 2017, the results of their operations for the year then ended, the changes in their net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended, and the financial highlights for each of the periods presented in the period then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Basis for Opinion

These financial statements are the responsibility of the Funds’ management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Funds’ financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (“PCAOB”) and are required to be independent with respect to the Funds in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB.  Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud.

Our audits include performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures include examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements and confirmation of securities owned as of December 31, 2017, by correspondence with the custodian and brokers. Our audits also include evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

We have served as the Funds’ auditor since 2011.

LoCorr Investment Trust - Expense Example (Unaudited)
   
   
 
Expense Example
December 31, 2017 (Unaudited)
 
As a shareholder of a mutual fund, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including sales charges (loads) on purchase payments; redemption fees; and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees; distribution and/or service (12b-1) fees and other Fund expenses.

This Example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in each of the Funds and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds. The Example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period (July 1, 2017 through December 31, 2017).

Actual Expenses
The actual return columns in the following table provide information about account values based on actual returns and actual expenses. You may use the information in these columns,  together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the first line under the heading entitled “Expenses Paid During Period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period. The only transaction fees you may be required to pay are for outgoing wire transfers, returned checks and stop payment orders at prevailing rates charged by U.S. Bancorp Fund Services, LLC, the Funds’ transfer agent. These fees are assessed on all accounts, as applicable. If you request that a redemption be made by wire transfer, currently the Funds’ transfer agent charges a $15.00 fee. The Funds’ transfer agent charges a transaction fee of $25.00 on returned checks and stop payment orders. If you paid a transaction fee, you would add the fee amount to the expenses paid on your account this period to obtain your total expenses paid.

Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes
The hypothetical return columns in the following table provide information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Funds’ actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Funds’ actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Funds and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds. A transaction fee of $15.00 may be assessed on outgoing wire transfers and a transaction fee of $25.00 may be assessed on returned checks and stop payment orders. To include this fee in the calculation, you would add the estimated transaction fee to the hypothetical expenses shown in the table. Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect the transaction fees discussed above. Therefore, those columns are useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transactional costs were included, your costs would have been higher.

LoCorr Investment Trust
December 31, 2017 (Unaudited)

Review of Sub-Advisory Agreement
Counsel directed the Board’s attention to the Board materials for the renewal of the investment sub-advisory agreement with Kettle Hill Capital Management, LLC (“Kettle Hill”) for the LoCorr Dynamic Equity Fund (“LDE Fund”).

The Board reviewed the memorandum provided by Fund Counsel which had been provided to them prior to the meeting entitled, “Duties of Trustees with Respect to Approval and Renewal of Investment Advisory and Sub-Advisory Contracts”. The Board, including a majority of the Trustees who are not “interested persons” of the Trust within the meaning of the 1940 Act (the “Independent Trustees”), reviewed the various factors relevant to its consideration of the subadvisory agreement and the legal responsibilities of the Board related to such consideration. These factors included the following:

·
The nature, extent and quality of the services provided by the investment sub-adviser to the fund;

·
The investment performance of the fund and the investment sub-adviser;

·
The costs of the services to be provided and the profits to be realized by the sub-adviser and its affiliates from the relationship with the fund;

·
The extent to which economies of scale will be realized as the fund grows; and

·
Whether the fee levels reflect these economies of scale to the benefit of the shareholders.

The Board reviewed the responses to the 15(c) questionnaire and the -advisory agreement prior to the meeting.

Nature, Extent and Quality of Services Provided by the Sub-Adviser
The Board reviewed the nature, extent and quality of services to be provided by Kettle Hill for the LDE Fund. Fund Counsel and the Board reviewed the responsibilities and backgrounds of Kettle Hill’s key individuals. The Trustees further noted that Kettle Hill would provide equity research, financial modeling, security selection and trade execution for the LDE Fund and compliance services to assure assets are managed within the Fund’s investment guidelines and restrictions.

Fund Counsel stated that Kettle Hill reported no material compliance issues, regulatory issues or material litigations in the past 36 months. The Adviser’s representative further discussed the compliance policies and procedures for Kettle Hill and detailed the changes to such policies and procedures that had been implemented since the Board’s prior approval of Kettle Hill.

After a discussion, the Board concluded that Kettle Hill has the appropriate investment management experience and resources to continue to provide high quality services for the LDE Fund

Investment performance of the Sub-Adviser
Fund Counsel directed the Trustees to the performance of Kettle Hill with respect to its portion of the LDE Fund. Fund Counsel noted for the Trustees the sub-adviser’s performance against the sub-adviser’s chosen benchmark and the overall LDE Fund. A representative of the Adviser stated that the Fund’s adviser continued to be satisfied with Kettle Hill’s performance and the execution of its strategy

After a discussion, the Board concluded that Kettle Hill’s performance was reasonable.

Costs of Services Provided and Profitability to be Realized
The Trustees next reviewed the costs of services provided by Kettle Hill to the LDE Fund. Fund Counsel noted for the Trustees and the fees charged to other accounts by Kettle Hill. The Board considered Kettle Hill’s net profits related to its services to the LDE Fund. A representative of the Adviser reminded the Trustees that the subadvisory fee would be calculated on the aggregate assets managed by Kettle Hill for other Funds in the Trust which would allow each Fund to enjoy more favorable pricing more quickly. After a discussion, the Board concluded that Kettle Hill’s sub-advisory fee and profitability were reasonable.

Other Benefits
The Trustees noted that Kettle Hill receives soft-dollar benefits from its relationship with the LDE Fund that Kettle Hill uses for brokerage and research purposes. After a discussion, the Trustees concluded that the other benefits that may be derived by Kettle Hill from its relationship with the Fund were reasonable.
