Letter to Shareholders

Dear Shareholders,
We are pleased to provide the Semi-Annual Report for Brookfield Global Listed Infrastructure Fund (the “Infrastructure Fund”), Brookfield Global Listed Real Estate Fund (the “Global Real Estate Fund”), Brookfield U.S. Listed Real Estate Fund (the “U.S. Real Estate Fund”) and Brookfield Real Assets Securities Fund (the “Real Assets Securities Fund”) (each a “Fund” and, collectively, the “Funds”) for the six-month period ended June 30, 2016.
Many of the issues facing financial markets continued into 2016, including heightened economic and financial uncertainties in China, volatile commodity prices (particularly oil) and monetary policy decisions around the globe. The first six weeks of 2016 were marked by extreme volatility as the MSCI World and S&P 500® Indexes fell 11.47% and 10.27%, respectively, through February 11. Markets then staged a historic intra-quarter rally as the price of crude oil appeared to bottom.
During the second quarter, a more positive narrative around China’s economy emerged, oil prices continued to rise, and first-quarter earnings results were generally better than anticipated. Equity markets were relatively quiet in the second quarter, grinding higher in April and May; but the quarter then ended in volatile fashion following the June 23 U.K. referendum, in which voters elected to leave the European Union. Global equities fell sharply immediately following the vote, before recouping most losses in the last week of trading.
Despite the rebound that followed the Brexit-related selloff, nervous investors flocked to perceived “safe” assets. In June, the yield on German 10-year bunds fell into negative territory for the first time to close the quarter at -0.08%. Fitch Ratings estimated the global total of sovereign debt with negative yields had reached $11.7 trillion by June 27, up 19% from the end of April. In the U.S., 10-year Treasury yields fell 80 basis points during the period, to 1.47% as of June 30.
During the period, the U.S. Federal Reserve kept its benchmark lending rate steady at 0.25% to 0.50% and Federal Reserve officials reduced estimates of how much they expect to raise the federal funds rate in 2016. In Europe, the European Central Bank continued its easing measures, even expanding its bond-buying program to include corporate bonds; and in Japan, the Bank of Japan adopted negative interest rates in an effort to stave off the deflation that has plagued the country since the 1990s.
We believe that bottom-up security selection will take on an even more important role amid the uncertain market environment post-Brexit. While mindful of the potential headwinds, we also view market dislocations as opportunities to buy assets at attractive long-term points of entry. Another potential side benefit of Brexit is the likely continuation of lower-for-longer interest rates, which should be supportive for real asset securities. Moreover, the fundamentals underlying the cash flows of these companies have potentially defensive characteristics, which can be beneficial in periods of market uncertainty.
In addition to performance information, this report provides the Funds’ unaudited financial statements as of June 30, 2016.
We welcome your questions and comments, and encourage you to contact our Investor Relations team at (855) 777-8001 or visit us at www.brookfieldim.com for more information. Thank you for your support.
Sincerely,
Brian F. Hurley

About Your Fund’s Expenses  (Unaudited) 

As a shareholder of a fund, you may incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including sales charges (loads) on purchase payments and contingent deferred sales charges and redemption fees on redemptions; and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees, distribution (12b-1) fees and other fund expenses. This example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Funds and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds. The example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period as indicated below.
Actual Fund Return
The table below provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information on this line, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expense 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.
Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes
The table below also provides 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 hypothetical examples that appear in shareholders’ reports of other funds.
Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transactional costs, such as sales charges (loads) and redemption fees. Therefore, the hypothetical account values and expenses in the table 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 overall would have been higher.

The Fixed Income
2016 Semi-Annual Report5


Fund Performance  (Unaudited) (continued)
All Periods Ended June 30, 2016

Blend is comprised of 70% BAML Global High Yield Index and 30% BAML Global Corporate Index. The BAML Global High Yield Index is an unmanaged, commonly accepted measure of the performance of global high yield corporate securities. The BAML Global Corporate Index is an unmanaged, commonly accepted measure of the performance of global investment grade corporate securities. The S&P Global Natural Resources Index includes 90 of the largest publically traded companies in natural resources and commodities businesses that meet specific investability requirements, offering investors diversified and investable equity exposure across three primary commodity-related sectors: agribusiness, energy and metals & mining. The Bloomberg Commodity Index (BCOM) is a broadly diversified commodity price index that tracks prices of futures contracts on physical commodities in the commodity markets. The Barclays Global Inflation Linked Bond Index includes securities which offer the potential for protection against inflation as their cash flows are linked to an underlying inflation index. All securities included in the index have to be issued by an investment-grade rated sovereign in its local currency. These indices do not reflect any fees, expenses or sales charges. It is not possible to invest directly in an index. Index performance is shown for illustrative purposes only and does not predict or depict the performance of the Fund.
Performance data quoted 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 Funds may be lower or higher than the performance quoted. Performance data current to the most recent month end may be obtained by calling 855.244.4859. The Funds impose a 2.00% redemption fee on shares redeemed within 60 days. Performance data does not reflect the imposition of the redemption fee and if it had, performance would have been lower. Performance shown including sales charge reflects the Class A maximum sales charge of 4.75% and the Class C Contingent Deferred Sales Charge (CDSC) of 1.00%. Performance data excluding sales charge does not reflect the deduction of the sales charge or CDSC and if reflected, the sales charge or fee would reduce the performance quoted.
Investment performance reflects fee waivers, expenses and reimbursements in effect. In the absence of such waivers, total return and NAV would be reduced.

1.Organization
Brookfield Investment Funds (the “Trust”) was organized as a statutory trust under the laws of the State of Delaware on May 12, 2011. The Trust is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”), as an open-end management investment company. The Trust currently consists of five series portfolios: the Brookfield Global Listed Infrastructure Fund (the “Infrastructure Fund”), the Brookfield Global Listed Real Estate Fund (the “Global Real Estate Fund”), the Brookfield U.S. Listed Real Estate Fund (the “U.S. Real Estate Fund”), the Brookfield Real Assets Securities Fund (the “Real Assets Securities Fund”) and the Brookfield Real Assets Debt Fund (each, a “Fund,” and collectively, the “Funds”). The Infrastructure Fund, Global Real Estate Fund and Real Assets Securities Fund are each a diversified open-end management investment company and the U.S. Real Estate Fund is a non-diversified open-end management investment company. The Brookfield Real Assets Debt Fund is not currently available for purchase.
Each Fund currently has four classes of shares: Class A, Class C, Class Y and Class I shares. Each class represents an interest in the same portfolio of assets and has identical voting, dividend, liquidation and other rights except that: (i) Class A shares have a maximum front end sales charge of 4.75% and Class C shares have a maximum deferred sales charge of 1.00%; (ii) Class A shares have a 12b-1 fee of 0.25% and Class C shares have a 12b-1 fee of 1.00%; and (iii) each class has exclusive voting rights with respect to matters relating to its own distribution arrangements. The assets belonging to a particular Fund belong to that Fund for all purposes, and to no other Fund, subject only to the rights of creditors of that Fund.
Brookfield Investment Management Inc. (the “Adviser”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Brookfield Asset Management Inc., is registered as an investment adviser under the Investment Advisers Act of 1940, as amended (the “Advisers Act”), and serves as investment adviser to the Funds.
The investment objective of each Fund is to seek total return through growth of capital and current income. Each Fund's investment objective is not fundamental and may be changed by the Trust's Board of Trustees (the “Board”) without shareholder approval, upon not less than 60 days prior written notice to shareholders. There can be no assurance that each Fund will achieve its investment objective.
2.Significant Accounting Policies
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of increases and decreases in net assets from operations during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Each Fund is an investment company within the scope of Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standard Update (“ASU”) 2013-08, follows accounting and reporting guidance under FASB Accounting Standards Codification Topics (“ASC”) 946, “Financial Services-Investment Companies”.
Valuation of Investments: The Board has adopted procedures for the valuation of each Fund’s securities. The Adviser oversees the day to day responsibilities for valuation determinations under these procedures. The Board regularly reviews the application of these procedures to the securities in each Fund’s portfolio. The Adviser’s Valuation Committee is comprised of senior members of the Adviser’s management team. There can be no assurance that each Fund could purchase or sell a portfolio security at the price used to calculate each Fund’s NAV.
Debt securities, including U.S. government securities, listed corporate bonds, other fixed income and asset-backed securities, and unlisted securities and private placement securities, are generally valued at the bid prices furnished by an independent pricing service or, if not valued by an independent pricing service, using bid prices obtained from active and reliable market makers in any such security or a broker-dealer. The broker-dealers or pricing services use multiple valuation techniques to determine fair value. In instances where sufficient market activity
2016 Semi-Annual Report43


BROOKFIELD INVESTMENT FUNDS
Notes to Financial Statements (Unaudited) (continued)    
June 30, 2016

exists, the broker-dealers or pricing services may utilize a market-based approach through which quotes from market makers are used to determine fair value. In instances where sufficient market activity may not exist or is limited, the broker-dealers or pricing services also utilize proprietary valuation models which may consider market transactions in comparable securities and the various relationships between securities in determining fair value and/or market characteristics such as benchmark yield curves, option-adjusted spreads, credit spreads, estimated default rates, coupon-rates, anticipated timing of principal repayments, underlying collateral, and other unique security features in order to estimate the relevant cash flows, which are then discounted to calculate the fair values. Short-term debt securities with remaining maturities of sixty days or less are valued at cost adjusted by the amortization of discount or premium to maturity, unless such valuation, in the judgment of the Adviser’s Valuation Committee, does not represent fair value.
Investments in equity securities listed or traded on any securities exchange or traded in the over-the-counter market are valued at the last trade price as of the close of business on the valuation date. Investments in open-end registered investment companies, if any, are valued at the net asset value (“NAV”) as reported by those investment companies.
Securities for which market prices are not readily available or which cannot be valued using the sources described above will be valued using an internal proprietary fair value methodology. For any security warranting such fair value measurement, a memorandum, including the specific methodology and supporting information, will be provided to the Valuation Committee by a portfolio manager or analyst looking to fair value a particular security. A portfolio manager or analyst shall use their best efforts to maximize the use of relevant observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs within their valuation technique. The Valuation Committee shall review the memorandum and supporting information provided by a portfolio manager or analyst and consider all relevant factors as it deems appropriate before approving the fair value recommendation.
Each Fund may use the fair value of a security to calculate its NAV when, for example, (1) a portfolio security is not traded in a public market or the principal market in which the security trades is closed, (2) trading in a portfolio security is suspended and not resumed prior to the normal market close, (3) a portfolio security is not traded in significant volume for a substantial period, or (4) the Adviser determines that the quotation or price for a portfolio security provided by a broker-dealer or an independent pricing service is inaccurate.
The fair value of securities may be difficult to determine and thus judgment plays a greater role in the valuation process. The fair valuation methodology may include or consider the following guidelines, as appropriate: (1) evaluation of all relevant factors, including but not limited to, pricing history, current market level, supply and demand of the respective security; (2) comparison to the values and current pricing of securities that have comparable characteristics; (3) knowledge of historical market information with respect to the security; (4) other factors relevant to the security which would include, but not be limited to, duration, yield, fundamental analytical data, the Treasury yield curve, and credit quality.
The values assigned to fair valued investments are based on available information and do not necessarily represent amounts that might ultimately be realized, since such amounts depend on future developments inherent in investments. Changes in the fair valuation of portfolio securities may be less frequent and of greater magnitude than changes in the price of portfolio securities valued at their last sale price, by an independent pricing service, or based on market quotations. Imprecision in estimating fair value can also impact the amount of unrealized appreciation or depreciation recorded for a particular portfolio security and differences in the assumptions used could result in a different determination of fair value, and those differences could be material.
The Trust’s Board has adopted procedures for the valuation of each Fund’s securities. The Adviser oversees the day to day responsibilities for valuation determinations under these procedures. The Board regularly reviews the application of these procedures to the securities in a Fund’s portfolio. Pursuant to the procedures, securities in a Fund are valued using unadjusted quoted market prices, when available, as supplied primarily by third party pricing services or dealers. However, if (i) a market value or price is not readily available, (ii) the available quotations are not believed to be reflective of market value by the Adviser, or (iii) a significant event has occurred

that would materially affect the value of the security, the security is fair valued, as determined in good faith, by the Adviser’s Valuation Committee. The Adviser’s Valuation Committee is comprised of senior members of the Adviser’s management team. There can be no assurance that a Fund could purchase or sell a portfolio security at the price used to calculate the Fund’s NAV. As of June 30, 2016, there were no securities held in the Funds that were fair valued by the Adviser’s Valuation Committee.
The Funds have established methods of fair value measurements in accordance with GAAP. Fair value denotes the price that a Fund would receive upon selling an investment in a timely transaction to an independent buyer in the principal or most advantageous market of the investment. A three-tier hierarchy has been established to maximize the use of observable market data and minimize the use of unobservable inputs and to establish classification of fair value measurements for disclosure purposes. Inputs refer broadly to the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability, including assumptions about risk, for example, the risk inherent in a particular valuation technique used to measure fair value including such a pricing model and/or the risk inherent in the inputs to the valuation technique. Inputs may be observable or unobservable. Observable inputs are inputs that reflect the assumptions market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability developed based on market data obtained from sources independent of the reporting entity. Unobservable inputs are inputs that reflect the reporting entity’s own assumptions about the assumptions market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability developed based on the best information available in the circumstances. The three-tier hierarchy of inputs is summarized in the three broad levels listed below.
Level 1 -  quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities
Level 2 -  quoted prices in markets that are not active or other significant observable inputs (including, but not limited to: quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities, quoted prices based on recently executed transactions, interest rates, credit risk, etc.)
Level 3 -  significant unobservable inputs (including each Fund’s own assumptions in determining the fair value of assets or liabilities)
The Adviser’s valuation policy, as previously stated, establishes parameters for the sources and types of valuation analysis, as well as, the methodologies and inputs the Adviser uses in determining fair value, including the use of the Adviser’s Valuation Committee. If the Adviser’s Valuation Committee determines that additional techniques, sources or inputs are appropriate or necessary in a given situation, such additional work will be undertaken.
Significant increases or decreases in any of the unobservable inputs in isolation may result in a lower or higher fair value measurement.
To assess the continuing appropriateness of security valuations, the Adviser (or its third party service providers, who are subject to oversight by the Adviser), regularly compares one of its prior day prices, prices on comparable securities and sale prices to the current day prices and challenges those prices that exceed certain tolerance levels with the third party pricing service or broker source. For those securities valued by fair valuations, the Adviser’s Valuation Committee reviews and affirms the reasonableness of the valuations based on such methodologies and fair valuation determinations on a regular basis after considering all relevant information that is reasonably available.
The inputs or methodology used for valuing investments are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities.

Level 2 securities are fair valued using a factor as a result of market movements following the close of local trading. During the six months ended June 30, 2016, there was a transfer from Level 2 to Level 1 of $3,199,746, which represents a security that was previously fair valued by the Adviser's Valuation Committee and is currently priced using the market close price.

Level 2 common stocks are fair valued using a factor as a result of market movements following the close of local trading. During the six months ended June 30, 2016, there was a transfer from Level 2 to Level 1 of $63,885, which represents a security that was previously fair valued by the Adviser's Valuation Committee and is currently priced using the market close price. There were no additional transfers between Levels. The basis for recognizing and valuing transfers is as of the end of the period in which transfers occur. During the six months ended June 30, 2016, the Real Assets Securities Fund did not invest in any Level 3 securities.
Investment Transactions and Investment Income: Securities transactions are recorded on the trade date. Realized gains and losses from securities transactions are calculated on the identified cost basis. Interest income is recorded on the accrual basis. Discounts and premiums on securities are accreted and amortized, respectively, on a daily basis, using the effective yield to maturity method adjusted based on management’s assessment of the collectability of such interest. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date.
Foreign Currency Transactions: 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 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 isolate the portion of realized gains or losses resulting from changes in foreign exchange rates on securities from the fluctuations arising from changes in market prices of securities held. The Funds do not isolate the portion of unrealized gains or losses resulting from changes in foreign exchange rates on securities from the fluctuations arising from changes in market prices of securities held.
Reported net realized foreign exchange gains or losses arise from sales of securities, 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 a Fund's books and the U.S. dollar equivalent of the amounts actually received or paid.
Taxes: Each Fund intends to continue to meet the requirements of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, applicable to regulated investment companies and to distribute substantially all of its taxable income to its shareholders. Therefore, no federal income or excise tax provision is required. Each Fund may incur an excise tax to the extent it has not distributed all of its taxable income on a calendar year basis.
GAAP provides guidance for how uncertain tax positions should be recognized, measured, presented and disclosed in the financial statements. An evaluation of tax positions taken in the course of preparing the Funds’ tax returns to determine whether the tax positions are “more-likely-than-not” of being sustained by the taxing authority is required. Tax benefits of positions not deemed to meet the more-likely-than-not threshold would be booked as a tax expense in the current year and recognized as: a liability for unrecognized tax benefits; a reduction of an income tax refund receivable; a reduction of a deferred tax asset; an increase in a deferred tax liability; or a combination thereof. As of June 30, 2016, each Fund has determined that there are no uncertain tax positions or tax liabilities required to be accrued.

June 30, 2016

The Funds have reviewed the taxable years open for examination (i.e. not barred by the applicable statute of limitations) by taxing authorities of all major jurisdictions, including the Internal Revenue Service. As of June 30, 2016, open taxable periods consisted of the taxable years ended December 31, 2013 through December 31, 2015 for the Infrastructure Fund and Global Real Estate Fund, the period December 11, 2013 (commencement of operations) through December 31, 2015 for the U.S. Real Estate Fund and the period November 19, 2014 (commencement of operations) through December 31, 2015 for the Real Assets Securities Fund. No examination of the Funds’ tax returns is currently in progress.
Expenses: Expenses directly attributable to a Fund are charged directly to that Fund, while expenses which are attributable to more than one Fund are allocated among the respective Funds based upon relative average net assets, evenly or a combination of both. Income and expenses of a Fund are allocated on a pro rata basis to each class of shares, except for distribution fees, which are unique to each class of shares.
Distributions: Each Fund declares and pays dividends quarterly from net investment income. Distributions of realized capital gains in excess of capital loss carryforwards are distributed at least annually. Dividends and distributions are recorded on the ex-dividend date. All common shares have equal dividend and other distribution rights. A notice disclosing the source(s) of a distribution will be provided after a payment is made from any source other than net investment income.
Dividends from net investment income and distributions from realized gains from investment transactions have been determined in accordance with federal income tax regulations and may differ from net investment income and realized gains recorded by each Fund for financial reporting purposes. These differences, which could be temporary or permanent in nature, may result in reclassification of distributions; however, net investment income, net realized gains and losses and net assets are not affected.
3.Investment Advisory Agreements and Related Party Transactions
The Adviser currently serves as the investment adviser to each Fund pursuant to separate investment advisory agreements (the “Advisory Agreements”) under which the Adviser is responsible for the management of each Fund’s portfolio and provides the necessary personnel, facilities, equipment and certain other services necessary to the operations of each Fund.
Pursuant to operating expenses limitation agreements (the “Expense Limitation Agreements”), the Adviser has contractually agreed to waive all or a portion of its investment advisory or administration fees, as presented below, and/or to reimburse certain expenses of each Fund to the extent necessary to maintain each Fund’s total annual operating expenses (excluding any front-end or contingent deferred charges, brokerage commissions and other transactional expenses, acquired fund fees and expenses, interest, taxes, and extraordinary expenses, such as litigation; and other expenses not incurred in the ordinary course of a Fund’s business). The Expense Limitation Agreements will continue until at least May 1, 2017 and may not be terminated by the Funds or the Adviser before such time. Thereafter, the Expense Limitation Agreements may only be terminated or amended to increase the expense cap as of May 1st of each calendar year, provided that in the case of a termination by the Adviser, the Adviser will provide the Board with written notice of its intention to terminate the arrangement prior to the expiration of its then current term. Pursuant to the Expense Limitation Agreements, the Adviser retains its right to receive reimbursement of any payments made by it, or to recoup any fees waived by it during the prior three years, provided that after giving effect to such repayment or recoupment, such adjusted total annual operating expenses (expressed as a percentage of average net assets) for each Fund would not exceed the percentage limitations listed below.

4.Purchases and Sales of Investments

During the six months ended June 30, 2016, there were no transactions in U.S. Government securities.
5.Swaps Contracts
Each Fund may enter into total rate of return, credit default or other types of swaps and related derivatives for the purpose of hedging and risk management. These transactions generally provide for the transfer from one counterparty to another of certain risks inherent in the ownership of a financial asset such as a debt instrument or common stock. Such risks include, among other things, the risk of default and insolvency of the obligor of such asset, the risk that the credit of the obligor or the underlying collateral will decline or the risk that the common stock of the underlying issuers will decline in value. The transfer of risk pursuant to a derivative of this type may be complete or partial, and may be for the life of the related asset or for a shorter period. These derivatives may be used as a risk management tool for a pool of financial assets, providing a Fund with the opportunity to gain or reduce exposure to one or more reference securities or other financial assets (each, a “Reference Asset”) without actually owning or selling such assets in order, for example, to increase or reduce a concentration risk or to diversify a portfolio. Conversely, these derivatives may be used by the Fund to reduce exposure to an owned asset without selling it.
Because a Fund would not own the Reference Assets, the Fund may not have any voting rights with respect to the Reference Assets, and in such cases all decisions related to the obligors or issuers of the Reference Assets, including whether to exercise certain remedies, will be controlled by the swap counterparties.
Total rate of return swaps and similar derivatives are subject to many risks, including the possibility that the market will move in a manner or direction that would have resulted in gain for a Fund had the swap or other derivative not been utilized (in which case it would have been better had the Fund not engaged in the interest rate hedging transactions), the risk of imperfect correlation between the risk sought to be hedged and the derivative transactions utilized, the possible inability of the counterparty to fulfill its obligations under the swap and potential illiquidity of the hedging instrument utilized, which may make it difficult for the Fund to close out or unwind one or more hedging transactions.
Total rate of return swaps and related derivatives present certain legal, tax and market uncertainties that present risks in entering into such arrangements. There is currently little or no case law or litigation characterizing total rate of return swaps or related derivatives, interpreting their positions, or characterizing their tax treatment. In addition, additional regulations and laws may apply to these types of derivatives that have not previously been applied. There can be no assurance that future decisions construing similar provisions to those in any swap agreement or other related documents or additional regulations and laws will not have an adverse effect on a Fund that utilizes these instruments.

6.Shares of Beneficial Interest
The Trust’s Declaration of Trust authorizes the issuance of an unlimited number of full and fractional shares of beneficial interest. With respect to each series, the Trust may offer more than one class of shares. The Trust reserves the right to create and issue additional series or classes. Each share of a series or class represents an equal proportionate interest in that series or class with each other share of that series or class. Currently, each series offers four classes of shares of beneficial interest — “Class A” Shares, “Class C” Shares, “Class Y” Shares, and “Class I” Shares.

June 30, 2016

Capital Account Reclassifications: Because federal income tax regulations differ in certain respects from GAAP, income and capital gain distributions, if any, determined in accordance with tax regulations may differ from net investment income and realized gains recognized for financial reporting purposes. These differences are primarily due to differing treatments for wash sales, partnership income/expense and return of capital. Permanent book and tax differences, if any, relating to shareholder distributions will result in reclassifications to paid-in-capital or to undistributed capital gains. These reclassifications have no effect on net assets or NAV per share.
9.Indemnification
Under the Funds’ organizational documents, its officers and trustees are indemnified against certain liabilities arising out of the performance of their duties to the Funds. In addition, in the normal course of business, the Trust, on behalf of the Funds, enters into contracts with vendors and others that provide for indemnification. The Funds’ maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown, since this would involve the resolution of certain claims, as well as future claims that may be made, against the Funds. Thus an estimate of the financial impact, if any, of these arrangements cannot be made at this time. However, based on experience, the Funds expect the risk of loss due to these warranties and indemnities to be unlikely.
10.Subsequent Events
GAAP requires recognition in the financial statements of the effects of all subsequent events that provide additional evidence about conditions that existed at the date of the Statements of Assets and Liabilities. For non-recognized subsequent events that must be disclosed to keep the financial statements from being misleading, the Funds are required to disclose the nature of the event as well as an estimate of their financial effect, or a statement that such an estimate cannot be made.
On August 23, 2016, the Board approved the elimination of each Fund's redemption fee effective September 1, 2016.
Management has evaluated subsequent events in the preparation of the Funds' financial statements and has determined that herein, there are no additional events that require recognition or disclosure in the financial statements.

Board Considerations Relating to the Investment Advisory Agreements  (Unaudited)
June 30, 2016

At a meeting held on May 12, 2016, the Board, including a majority of the Independent Trustees, considered and approved the continuation of the investment advisory agreements (the "Advisory Agreements") between Brookfield Investment Management Inc. (the "Adviser") and the Funds. In approving the Advisory Agreements, the Board, including a majority of the Independent Trustees, determined that the fee structures were fair and reasonable and that approval of the Advisory Agreements was in the best interests of each Fund and its shareholders. The Board of Trustees considered a wide range of information, including information regularly received from the Adviser at the quarterly Board meetings. While attention was given to all information furnished, the following discusses the primary factors relevant to the Board's decision.
NATURE, EXTENT AND QUALITY OF SERVICES. The Board considered the level and depth of knowledge of the Adviser. In evaluating the quality of services provided by the Adviser, the Board took into account its familiarity with the Adviser’s management through board meetings, conversations and reports. The Board noted that the Adviser is responsible for managing the Funds' investment programs, the general operations and the day-to-day management of the Funds and for compliance with applicable laws, regulations, policies and procedures. The Board concluded that the nature, extent and quality of the overall services provided by the Adviser and its affiliates are satisfactory. The Board's conclusion was based, in part, upon services provided to the Funds such as quarterly reports provided by the Adviser: 1) comparing the performance of each Fund with a peer group, 2) showing that the investment policies and restrictions for each Fund were followed, and 3) covering matters such as the compliance of investment personnel and other access persons with the Adviser's and the Funds' codes of ethics, the adherence to fair value pricing procedures established by the Board, the monitoring of portfolio compliance and presentations regarding the economic environment. The Board also considered the experience of the Adviser as an investment adviser and the experience of the team of portfolio managers that manages the Funds and its current experience in acting as an investment adviser to other investment funds and institutional clients.
INVESTMENT PERFORMANCE. The Board placed significant emphasis on the investment performance of the Funds in view of its importance to shareholders. While consideration was given to performance reports and discussions at Board meetings throughout the year, particular attention in assessing the performance was given to a report (the “Broadridge Report”) for the Funds prepared by Broadridge, an independent third party provider of investment company data, furnished in connection with the contract renewal process. The Broadridge Report compared each of the Brookfield Global Listed Infrastructure Fund’s and the Brookfield Global Listed Real Estate Fund’s performance with its peer group of other funds (the “Performance Universe”), as selected by Broadridge, for the one-, two-, three- and four-year periods ending April 30, 2016. The Board noted that the Brookfield Global Listed Infrastructure Fund performed below the median of its Performance Universe for all periods. The Brookfield Global Listed Real Estate Fund performed below the median of its Performance Universe for the one-year period and above the median of its Performance Universe for the two-, three- and four-year periods. Because the Brookfield U.S. Listed Real Estate Fund had only been in operation since December 11, 2013, its performance was compared with its Performance Universe for the one- and two-year periods ending April 30, 2016. The Board noted that the Brookfield U.S. Listed Real Estate Fund performed below the median of its Performance Universe for both periods. Because the Brookfield Real Assets Securities Fund had only been in operation since November 19, 2014, its performance was compared with its Performance Universe for the one-year period ending April 30, 2016. The Board noted that the Brookfield Real Assets Securities Fund performed below the median of its Performance Universe for the one-year period. Based on the Adviser’s discussion of the current markets and its positioning of each Fund’s portfolio, as well as the Adviser’s explanation of each Fund’s performance in the current market, the Board concluded that each Fund's performance was satisfactory.
PROFITABILITY. The Board also considered the level of profits expected to be realized by the Adviser and its affiliates in connection with the operation of the Funds. In this regard, the Board reviewed the Fund profitability analysis addressing the overall profitability of the Adviser for its management of the Brookfield fund family, as well as its expected profits and that of its affiliates for providing administrative support for the Funds. The Board further noted that the methodology followed in allocating costs to the Funds appeared reasonable, while also recognizing that allocation methodologies are inherently subjective. The Board also specifically noted that the Adviser agreed to extend its contractual expense waiver for the Funds, in order to limit the Funds’ net operating expenses. The Board concluded that the expected profitability to the Adviser from the Funds was reasonable.
MANAGEMENT FEES AND TOTAL EXPNENSES. The Board also placed significant emphasis on the review of each Fund’s expenses. The Board compared the advisory fees and total expense ratios of each of the Funds with various comparative data that it had been provided, including comparisons of each Fund’s management fee and

net expense level to those of a peer group selected by Broadridge (the “Expense Group”) and a peer group selected by management. The Board noted that the Brookfield Global Listed Infrastructure Fund’s total expenses after the expense waiver and total advisory and administrative fees were higher than the median of its Expense Group, while total expenses after the expense waiver were at the median and total advisory and administrative fees were above the median of its peer group selected by management. The Board noted that the Brookfield Global Listed Real Estate Fund’s total expenses after the expense waiver were below the median and total advisory and administrative fees were at the median of its Expense Group and of its peer group selected by management. The Board noted that the Brookfield U.S. Listed Real Estate Fund’s total expenses after the expense waiver and total advisory and administrative fees were above the median of its Expense Group and of its peer group selected by management. The Board noted that the Brookfield Real Assets Securities Fund’s total expenses after the expense waiver were at the median and total advisory and administrative fees were above the median of its Expense Group, while total expenses after the expense waiver and total advisory and administrative fees were above the median of its peer group selected by management. The Board also noted that the fees and expenses payable by the Funds were comparable to those payable by other client accounts managed by the Adviser and concluded that each Fund's management fees and total expenses were reasonable.
ECONOMIES OF SCALE. The Board considered the potential economies of scale that may be realized if the assets of the Funds grow. The Board noted that shareholders might benefit from lower operating expenses as a result of an increasing amount of assets being spread over the fixed expenses of the Funds, while the Funds’ expense limitation agreement with the Adviser served to limit the Funds’ expenses until the Funds had the opportunity to grow their assets.
In considering the approval of the Advisory Agreements, the Board, including the Independent Trustees, did not identify any single factor as controlling. Based on the Board’s evaluation of all factors that it deemed to be relevant, the Board, including the Independent Trustees, concluded that the Adviser has demonstrated that it possesses the capability and resources necessary to perform the duties required of it under the Advisory Agreements; the Adviser was taking steps to address the Funds’ performance; and the proposed Advisory fees are fair and reasonable, given the nature, extent and quality of the services to be rendered by the Adviser.
After carefully reviewing all of these factors, the Board, including the Independent Trustees, unanimously approved the continuation of the Advisory Agreements.
