There is no minimum initial investment on a per Fund basis for Class N shares. However, the
minimum initial investment in Class N shares of the Dunham Funds, on an aggregate basis, is
$100,000 for taxable accounts and $50,000 for tax-deferred accounts (“MIN”). The MIN can be
waived if the investor has, in the opinion of the Adviser, adequate intent and availability of assets
to reach a future level of investment among the Funds that is equal to or greater than the MIN.
The MIN can also be waived by the Adviser for shareholders investing through a wrap program
or similar arrangement. There is no minimum subsequent investment amount for Class N shares.
If a Class N shareholder's investment in the Dunham Funds falls below the MIN for reasons
other than depreciation of the investment, the investor may receive a notice from the Adviser and
will be given a reasonable amount of time to cure the deficiency. If the deficiency is not cured
within such time, the Adviser reserves the right to convert the account to Class A shares (on a
load waived basis) or take other appropriate measures.

Investors should consider the investment objectives, risk factors, charges, and expenses of
the Dunham Funds carefully before investing. This and other important information is contained
in the Fund's summary prospectus and/or prospectus, which may be obtained by contacting your
financial advisor, or by calling toll free (800) 442-4358. Please read prospectus materials
carefully before investing or sending money. Investing involves risk, including possible
loss of principal.
The N share class is offered either through brokerage platforms under contractual
agreement with the registered investment adviser or through registered investment advisers as part
of an advisory program, which includes advisory fees in addition to those presented in the
prospectus. Dunham Class C shares have no initial sales charge or contingent deferred sales
charge (CDSC). Class C shares are subject to a distribution and service fee of up to 1.00%
annually. Dunham Class A shares are offered at their public offering price, which is net asset
value per share plus the applicable sales charge. The sales charge varies, depending on how much you invest.
There are no sales charges on reinvested dividends. See the A shares prospectus for descriptions of
each Fund's front-end sales charge ("FESC") and purchase amount breakpoints, as well as ways to
reduce your sales charge. Class A shares are subject to a service fee of 0.25% annually.
Small market cap stocks generally have a lighter trading volume than larger market cap securities, and
therefore there is potential for liquidity issues when closing large positions. "Value" stocks can react
differently to issuer, political, market, and economic developments than the market as a whole and other
types of stocks. "Value" stocks tend to be inexpensive relative to their earnings or assets compared to
other types of stocks. However, "value" stocks can continue to be inexpensive for long periods of time
and may not ever realize their full value. The Fund may use investment techniques involving margins and
short-sales which involve higher risks, as well as higher potential rewards.
