The Commission uses the Form to ensure that the certificate is properly attributed to the investment company.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

To the Board of Trustees of

Insight Select Income Fund

We have examined management’s assertion, included in the accompanying Management Statement Regarding Compliance with Certain Provisions of the Investment Company Act of 1940, that the Insight Select Income Fund, (the “Fund”), complied with the requirements of subsections (b) and (c) of Rule 17f-2 under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the “Act”) as of March 31, 2019. Management is responsible for the Fund’s compliance with those requirements. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on management’s assertion about the Fund’s compliance based on our examination.

Our examination was conducted in accordance with standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) and accordingly, included examining, on a test basis, evidence about the Fund’s compliance with those requirements and performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. Included among our procedures were the following tests performed as of March 31, 2019, and with respect to agreement of security and similar investments purchases and sales, for the period February 1, 2019 to March 31, 2019.

 

   

Confirmation of all securities held by BNY Mellon, custodian in book entry form and reconciliation with depositories and subcustodians used by BNY Mellon.

 

   

Confirmation of all securities hypothecated, pledged, placed in escrow, or out for transfer with brokers, pledges, or transfer agents.

 

   

Reconciliation of all such securities to the books and records of the Fund and the custodian, BNY Mellon.

 

   

Confirmation of all time deposits with broker/banks and agreement with custodian records.

 

   

Agreement of five security purchases and five security sales from the books and records of the Fund to broker confirmations.

We believe that our examination provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.    Our examination does not provide a legal determination on the Fund’s compliance with specified requirements.

In our opinion, management’s assertion that the Insight Select Income Fund complied with the requirements of subsections (b) and (c) of Rule 17f-2 of the Investment Company Act of 1940 as of March 31, 2019, with respect to securities and similar investments reflected in the investment accounts of the Fund, is fairly stated, in all material respects.

This report is intended solely for the information and use of management and the Board of Trustees of the Insight Select Income Fund, and the Securities and Exchange Commission and is not intended to be and should not be used by anyone other than these specified parties.
