Management Discussion of Fund Performance (Unaudited) |
Diamond Hill Small Cap Fund
Investing Environment
The year 2020 was one for the history books as the coronavirus pandemic swept the globe. Economic activity ground to a halt as countries hardest hit by the pandemic faced closing businesses, spending declines and record unemployment levels. Despite unprecedented economic and market disruption, global equities posted positive returns in excess of 16% in 2020 (as measured by the MSCI All Country World Index) and U.S. stocks returned in excess of 18% (as measured by the S&P 500® Index), a remarkable advance given the economic backdrop. Technology stocks were clear winners in 2020 as the work from home (WFH) era took hold. Online retailers also did well, benefiting from a shift to online shopping in the wake of the pandemic. Energy stocks struggled as oil demand and prices fell on weak economic and transportation activity. In the back half of the year, central bank liquidity, fiscal stimulus, and optimism of rapid-to-market COVID-19 vaccines provided stocks a welcome tailwind.

Investing Environment
The year 2020 was one for the history books as the coronavirus pandemic swept the globe. Economic activity ground to a halt as countries hardest hit by the pandemic faced closing businesses, spending declines and record unemployment levels. Despite unprecedented economic and market disruption, global equities posted positive returns in excess of 16% in 2020 (as measured by the MSCI All Country World Index) and U.S. stocks returned in excess of 18% (as measured by the S&P 500® Index), a remarkable advance given the economic backdrop. Technology stocks were clear winners in 2020 as the work from home (WFH) era took hold. Online retailers also did well, benefiting from a shift to online shopping in the wake of the pandemic. Energy stocks struggled as oil demand and prices fell on weak economic and transportation activity. In the back half of the year, central bank liquidity, fiscal stimulus, and optimism of rapid-to-market COVID-19 vaccines provided stocks a welcome tailwind.

Diamond Hill Short Duration Securitized Bond Fund |
Investing Environment
Throughout the year, Federal Reserve and U.S. Treasury intervention played a key role in fixed income markets. In Q1 2020, the Federal Reserve cut rates in response to signs of a slowing economy exacerbated by an oil production glut as OPEC and Russia failed to come to terms on production cuts. Starting mid-March, as it became clear the coronavirus pandemic would result in widescale business shutdowns, central banks globally moved quickly and decidedly to provide liquidity and support while governments directed stimulus support to citizens and businesses facing economic uncertainty. Corporate bond purchasing programs initiated by the U.S. government were barely utilized but served as the impetus for a historic pace of debt issuance in both investment grade and high yield corporate credit markets.
Performance Discussion
During a volatile year, the Short Duration Securitized Bond Fund trailed the Bloomberg Barclays U.S. 1-3 Yr. Gov./Credit Index. Relative performance in 2020 was the result of two materially different market environments. From the start of the year through mid-April, the Fund’s relative performance trailed amid the rapid deterioration of the securitized sector, particularly asset-backed securities (ABS) where the Fund had a sizable overweight, due largely to technical dislocations rather than weakening fundamentals. From mid-April through year-end, the Fund solidly outpaced the index and delivered strong absolute returns—though not enough to offset earlier relative weakness—as the securitized sector rallied on the strength of the underlying loans in the securities and general market stabilization. Relative strength during that period was dampened by the Fund’s underweight position to credit sectors as they surged from mid-April through year-end.
Fund Changes
The most significant change in Fund positioning was a decrease in allocation to ABS and an increase in allocation to commercial mortgage-backed securities (CMBS). This change was not the result of a lack of opportunities in the ABS market. Rather, the growth of the Fund and the more compelling opportunities among CMBS led to the positioning shift. The Fund’s position in short-term Treasury debt shifted to the money market sweep vehicle. As rates on the shorter end of the curve remained anchored with the Federal Reserve’s move to cut rates to zero in March, the attractiveness of the Treasury market diminished, making a comparably yielding sweep vehicle a more compelling option to maintain liquidity.

Diamond Hill Core Bond Fund |
Investing Environment
Throughout the year, Federal Reserve and U.S. Treasury intervention played a key role in fixed income markets. In Q1 2020, the Federal Reserve cut rates in response to signs of a slowing economy exacerbated by an oil production glut as OPEC and Russia failed to come to terms on production cuts.

Corporate bond purchasing programs initiated by the U.S. government were barely utilized but served as the impetus for a historic pace of debt issuance in both investment grade and high yield corporate credit markets.
Performance Discussion
During a volatile year, the Core Bond Fund outperformed the Bloomberg Barclays U.S. Aggregate Bond Index. The overweight position to securitized assets was the main driver of relative performance during the calendar year, with the strongest contribution coming from the asset-backed securities (ABS) sector. Within that sector, auto and consumer ABS were the best performers, rebounding strongly through the year from low points in March and April. Security selection within the mortgage-backed securities (MBS) sector was a key contributor as agency collateralized mortgage obligations (CMO) outpaced plain vanilla pass-through MBS. Credit rebounded from the early pains of the year to deliver one of the best returns over the past decade, despite record levels of issuance flooding the market. The Fund’s underweight to the credit sectors detracted from performance despite strong security selection. The Treasury market rallied throughout the year, and the Fund’s underweight detracted from performance.
Fund Changes
Sector changes to the Core Bond Fund are based on an investment philosophy focusing on a bottom-up security selection process. The duration positioning (sensitivity to interest rate fluctuations) relative to the benchmark remained in a range of 93% - 98% due to the uncertain trajectory of rates during a volatile year. The allocation to ABS remained fairly steady, though changes were made within the sector as opportunities presented themselves during periods of market dislocation. As corporate spreads rallied from the end of March through the end of the year, opportunities in other sectors resulted in a slight decrease in the allocation to the corporate credit sector. The most significant change in portfolio positioning was in the MBS space, both residential and commercial, as spread levels in these market areas of the provided opportunities for the Fund.

Diamond Hill Corporate Credit Fund |
Investing Environment
Throughout the year, Federal Reserve and U.S. Treasury intervention played a key role in fixed income markets. In Q1 2020, the Federal Reserve cut rates in response to signs of a slowing economy exacerbated by an oil production glut as OPEC and Russia failed to come to terms on production cuts. Starting mid-March, as it became clear the coronavirus pandemic would result in widescale business shutdowns, central banks globally moved quickly and decidedly to provide liquidity and support while governments directed stimulus support to citizens and businesses facing economic uncertainty. Corporate bond purchasing programs initiated by the U.S. government were barely utilized but served as the impetus for a historic pace of debt issuance in both investment grade and high yield corporate credit markets.
Performance Discussion
The retail sector contributed most to total and relative return in 2020. Within retail, areas such as department stores and discount stores generated significant relative return, with department stores generating strong total returns despite index peers in aggregate being negative on the year. The difference in credit quality distribution between the Fund and the index also contributed to solid relative performance in 2020. The index is dominated by investment grade positions with a small allocation to high yield, while the Fund has much greater exposure to opportunities in the high yield market. That said, the strong rally in the investment grade corporate market did weigh on relative performance.
Fund Changes
The most significant change to Fund positioning occurred amid the market dislocation during March and April as both investment grade and high yield corporate spreads widened and unique opportunities presented themselves. A shift into long-dated, investment grade corporate securities began in late March and early April, soon after the Federal Reserve and Treasury announced plans to purchase not only corporate ETFs but cash bonds as well, with the intention of providing support for corporate bonds. By the end of the second quarter, the allocation to investment grade shifted back almost to where it began the year. This opportunistic and temporary shift was beneficial to relative performance while improving overall credit quality.

The CPI is increased by a 3 percent annual risk premium to correspond with the Fund’s long-term goals of achieving returns above the rate of inflation. The CPI is an economic metric that measures prices for a basket of goods and services sold to urban consumers. The index is considered a more accurate record of prices due to higher population density within the sales area.

The Fund’s performance reflects the deduction of fees for these services. Investors cannot invest directly in an index although they can invest in the underlying securities. |

Corporate bond purchasing programs initiated by the U.S. government were barely utilized but served as the impetus for a historic pace of debt issuance in both investment grade and high yield corporate credit markets.
Performance Discussion
Nearly every sector contributed to relative returns during 2020, with the energy sector contributing most to both strong total and relative returns. The index’s energy sector was negative for the year, while the Fund’s energy allocation returned double digits. Also additive to Fund performance was security selection in sectors that benefited from economic shut-down orders, including retail and regional banks, which are positioned to benefit from historically low rates. A handful of individual securities were a headwind to relative performance due to company-specific issues, but not enough to offset strong relative performance elsewhere.
Fund Changes
The most significant change to Fund positioning occurred amid the market dislocation during March and April as investment grade and high yield corporate spreads widened and unique opportunities presented themselves. A partial shift into long-dated, investment grade corporate securities began in late March and early April, soon after the Federal Reserve and Treasury announced plans to purchase not only corporate ETFs but cash bonds as well, with the intention of providing support for corporate bonds.

* | The quoted performance for the Fund reflects the past performance of Diamond Hill High Yield Fund L.P. (the “High Yield Partnership”), a private fund managed with full investment authority by the Fund’s Adviser. The Fund is managed in all material respects in a manner equivalent to the management of the predecessor unregistered fund. The performance of the High Yield Partnership has been restated to reflect the net expenses and maximum applicable sales charge of the Fund for its initial years of investment operations. The High Yield Partnership was not registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940 and therefore was not subject to certain investment restrictions imposed by the 1940 Act. If the High Yield Partnership had been registered under the 1940 Act, its performance may have been adversely affected. Performance is measured from December 4, 2014, the inception of the High Yield Partnership and is not the performance of the Fund. The assets of the High Yield Partnership were converted based on their value on December 31, 2015, into assets of the Fund prior to commencement of operations of the Fund. The High Yield Partnership’s past performance is not necessarily an indication of how the Fund will perform in the future either before or after taxes |

Organization
The Diamond Hill Small Cap Fund (“Small Cap Fund”), Diamond Hill Small-Mid Cap Fund (“Small-Mid Cap Fund”), Diamond Hill Mid Cap Fund (“Mid Cap Fund”), Diamond Hill Large Cap Fund (“Large Cap Fund”), Diamond Hill All Cap Select Fund (“All Cap Select Fund”), Diamond Hill Long-Short Fund (“Long-Short Fund”), Diamond Hill Global Fund (“Global Fund”), Diamond Hill International Fund (“International Fund”), Diamond Hill Short Duration Securitized Bond Fund (formerly Diamond Hill Short Duration Total Return Fund) (“Short Duration Fund”), Diamond Hill Core Bond Fund (“Core Bond Fund”), Diamond Hill Corporate Credit Fund (“Corporate Credit Fund”) and Diamond Hill High Yield Fund (“High Yield Fund”) are each a diversified series, except for the All Cap Select Fund which is non-diversified, of the Diamond Hill Funds (the “Trust”) (each a “Fund” and collectively the “Funds”). The Trust is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”), as an open-end management company. Each Fund follows accounting and reporting guidance under Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification Topic 946, “Financial Services – Investment Companies.”
In June 2019, the partners of the Diamond Hill International Fund, L.P. (the “International Partnership”) approved the conversion of the International Partnership into the International Fund effective July 1, 2019. The International Fund is a successor to the International Partnership and has substantially the same investment objectives and strategies as did the International Partnership. The net assets contributed resulting from these tax-free transactions was $3,996,233, including net unrealized appreciation of $227,053. In addition, limited partners of the International Partnership were issued shares in the International Fund based on the July 1, 2019 opening net asset value (“NAV”) per share of the International Fund. A total of 295,000 shares were issued at a NAV per share of $13.55. For financial reporting purposes, assets received and shares issued were recorded at fair value; however, the cost basis of the investments received was carried forward to align ongoing reporting of the International Fund’s realized and unrealized gains and losses with amounts distributable to shareholders for tax purposes.
The shareholders of the Diamond Hill Research Opportunities Fund (“Research Opportunities Fund”) approved an Agreement and Plan of Reorganization providing for the transfer of all assets and liabilities of the Research Opportunities Fund to the Long-Short Fund. The tax-free reorganization took place on October 23, 2020.

For financial reporting purposes, assets received and shares issued by the Long-Short Fund were recorded at fair value; however, the cost basis of the investments received from the Research Opportunities Fund was carried forward to align ongoing reporting of the Long-Short Fund’s realized and unrealized gains and losses with amounts distributable to shareholders for tax purposes.
With the exception of the Mid Cap Fund, Global Fund, International Fund, Short Duration Fund, Core Bond Fund and High Yield Fund, the Funds offer four classes of shares: Class A, Class C, Class I and Class Y. The Mid Cap Fund, Global Fund, International Fund, Short Duration Fund, Core Bond Fund and High Yield Fund offer three classes of shares: Class A, Class I and Class Y. Each class of shares for each Fund has identical rights and privileges except with respect to distribution (12b-1) and service fees, voting rights on matters affecting a single class of shares, exchange privileges of each class of shares and sales charges. With the exception of the Short Duration Fund, Core Bond Fund, Corporate Credit Fund and High Yield Fund, Class A has a maximum sales charge on purchases of 5.00% as a percentage of the original purchase price. The Short Duration Fund has a maximum sales charge on purchases of 2.25% and the Core Bond Fund, Corporate Credit Fund and High Yield Fund have a maximum sales charge on purchases of 3.50% as a percentage of the original purchase price. Class C has a contingent deferred sales charge of 1.00% for shares redeemed within one year of the purchase date.
New Accounting Pronouncement
In March 2020, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2020-04 (“ASU 2020-04”), “Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting”. ASU 2020-04 provides optional temporary financial reporting relief from the effect of certain types of contract modifications due to the planned discontinuation of the London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) and other interbank -offered based reference rates at the end of 2021. ASU 2020-04 is effective for certain reference rate-related contract modifications that occur during the period March 12, 2020 through December 31, 2022. The Funds will consider this optional guidance prospectively, if applicable.
Significant Accounting Policies
The following is a summary of the Funds’ significant accounting policies:
Estimates — The financial statements are prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”), which 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 income and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Security valuation — The Funds record their investments at fair value. Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The valuation techniques used by the Funds maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs in determining fair value. These inputs are summarized in the three broad levels listed below:
● | Level 1 — quoted prices in active markets for identical securities |
● | Level 2 — other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.) |
● | Level 3 — significant unobservable inputs (including the Funds’ own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments) |
Listed securities for which market quotations are readily available are valued at the closing prices as determined by the primary exchange where the securities are traded. Unlisted securities or listed securities for which the latest sales prices are not readily available are valued at the closing bid (long positions) or ask (short positions) price in the principal market where such securities are normally traded. Investments in other open-end investment companies are valued at their reported NAV per share. In each of these situations, valuations are typically categorized as Level 1 in the fair value hierarchy.
Debt securities are valued on the basis of valuations provided by dealers or by an independent pricing service which take into account appropriate factors such as trading activity (i.e., market transactions for normal, institutional-size trading units of similar securities), readily available market quotations (including broker quotes), yield, quality, coupon rate, maturity, type of issue, trading characteristic, call features, credit ratings and other data. Short-term debt investments of sufficient credit quality maturing in less than 61 days may be valued at amortized cost, if amortized cost is determined to approximate fair value. In each of these situations, valuations are typically categorized as Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy.
Securities for which market quotations are not readily available (e.g., an approved pricing service does not provide a price, a price becomes stale, or an event occurs that materially affects the furnished price) are valued by the Valuation & Liquidity Committee. In these cases, the Valuation & Liquidity Committee, established and appointed by the Board of Trustees, determines in good faith, subject to Trust procedures, the fair value of portfolio securities held by a Fund (“good faith fair valuation”). When a good faith fair valuation of a security is required, consideration is generally given to a number of factors, including, but not limited to the following: dealer quotes, published analyses by dealers or analysts of the situation at issue, transactions implicitly valuing the security (such as a merger, tender offer, etc.), the value of other securities or contracts which derive their value from the security at issue, and the implications (whether negative or positive) of the circumstances which have caused trading in the security to halt. Depending on the source and relative significance of the valuation inputs in these instances, the valuations for these securities may be classified as Level 2 or Level 3 in the fair value hierarchy.

In accordance with procedures adopted by the Trust’s Board of Trustees, fair value pricing may be used if events materially affecting the value of foreign equity securities occur between the time the exchange on which they are traded closes and the time the Funds’ NAVs are calculated. The Funds use a systematic valuation model, provided daily by an independent third party, to fair value their international equity securities. These valuations are considered as Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy.
Changes in valuation techniques may result in transfers in or out of an assigned level within the disclosure hierarchy.
The inputs or methodology used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risks associated with investing in those securities. For example, short-term debt securities of sufficient credit quality maturing in less than 61 days may be valued using amortized cost in accordance with rules under the 1940 Act. Generally, amortized cost approximates the current fair value of a security, but since the value is not obtained from a quoted price in an active market, such securities are reflected as Level 2. The following is a summary of the Funds’ investments and the inputs used to value the investments as of December 31, 2020:

There were no transfers into or out of Level 3 for the year ended December 31, 2020.
Short sales — The Long-Short Fund, Global Fund, International Fund, Corporate Credit Fund and High Yield Fund are permitted to make short sales of securities. Short sales are effective when it is believed that the price of a particular security will decline and involves the sale of a security that the Fund does not own in hope of purchasing the same security at a later date at a lower price. To make delivery to the buyer, a Fund must borrow the security, and the Fund is obligated to return the security to the lender, which is accomplished by a later purchase of the security by the Fund. Cash received from short sales and other liquid securities are maintained by the custodian and are used as collateral. Cash collateral is shown as “Cash deposits with custodian for securities sold short” on the Statements of Assets & Liabilities and “Segregated Cash With Custodian” on the Schedules of Investments. Liquid securities pledged as collateral are noted on the Schedules of Investments.
A Fund will incur a loss as a result of a short sale if the price of the security increases between the date of the short sale and the date on which the Fund purchases the security to replace the borrowed security. Although a Fund’s gain is limited to the amount at which it sold a security short, its potential loss is not limited. The use of short sales may cause a Fund to have higher expenses (specifically dividend expenses) than those of other equity mutual funds. Short sales are speculative transactions and involve special risks, including greater reliance on the ability of the Funds’ investment adviser, Diamond Hill Capital Management, Inc. (“DHCM”), to accurately anticipate the future value of a security.
A Fund may also incur stock loan fees which represent the cost of borrowing securities used for short sale transactions. A Fund may also earn rebates as an element of the custodian arrangement, which are recorded as an offset to stock loan fees on short sales transactions. The stock loan fees on short sales are recognized on the Statements of Operations. In the event that rebates exceed the stock loan fees on short sales, the net rebates are recognized as a component of investment income on the Statements of Operations.
Securities lending — Under the terms of the securities lending agreement with State Street Bank and Trust Company (“State Street”), State Street is authorized to loan securities on behalf of the Funds to approved borrowers. The contractual maturity of securities lending transactions is on an overnight and continuous basis. In exchange, the Funds receive cash and/or U.S. Treasury and government agency securities as collateral in the amount of at least 100% of the value of the securities loaned. Any collateral shortfalls due to changes in security market prices are adjusted the next business day. The cash collateral is invested in short-term instruments as noted in each Fund’s Schedule of Investments. Although risk is mitigated by the collateral, the Funds could experience a delay in recovering their securities and possible loss of income or value if the borrower fails to return them. The agreement indemnifies the Funds from losses incurred in the event of a borrower’s material default of the terms and conditions of the borrower agreement. The agreement provides that after predetermined rebates to borrowers, the Funds each retain a portion of their respective net securities lending income and pay State Street the remaining portion. The Funds manage credit exposure arising from these lending transactions by, in

appropriate circumstances, entering into a master netting agreement and collateral agreement with State Street that provide the Funds, in the event of default (such as bankruptcy or borrower’s failure to pay or perform), the right to net rights and obligations under such agreements and liquidate and set off collateral against the net amount owed to the Funds.

Security transactions — Throughout the reporting period, investment transactions are generally recorded on trade date but no later than the first business day following trade date. For financial reporting purposes, investments are recorded on trade date. The specific identification method is used for determining realized gains or losses for financial statements and income tax purposes. Dividend income and expense are recognized on the ex-dividend date and interest income is recognized on an accrual basis. Non-cash dividends included in dividend income, if any, are recorded at the fair market value of the securities received. Taxes on foreign dividends and/or capital gains have been recorded for in accordance with the Funds’ understanding of the applicable country’s tax rules and rates. Discounts and premiums on securities purchased are amortized using the daily effective yield method and included in interest income. The Funds record distributions received from investments in real estate investment trusts (also known as “REITs”) and partnerships in excess of income from underlying investments as a reduction of cost of investments and/or realized gain. Such amounts are based on estimates if actual amounts are not available, and actual amounts of income, realized gain and return of capital may differ from the estimated amounts. The Funds adjust the estimated amounts once the issuers provide information about the actual composition of the distributions. Interest only stripped mortgage-backed securities (“IO Strips”) are securities that receive only interest payments from a pool of
DIAMOND HILL FUNDS | ANNUAL REPORT | DECEMBER 31, 2020 | DIAMOND-HILL.COM 145 |
Diamond Hill Funds
Notes to Financial Statements (Continued)
December 31, 2020
mortgage loans. Little to no principal will be received by the Funds upon maturity of an IO Strip. Periodic adjustments are recorded to reduce the cost of the security until maturity, which are included in interest income.
Share valuation — The NAV per share of each class of shares of each Fund is calculated daily by dividing the total value of a Fund’s assets attributable to that class, less liabilities attributable to that class, by the number of shares of that class outstanding.
Income taxes — The Funds may be subject to taxes imposed by countries in which they invest. Such taxes are generally based on income and/or capital gains earned or repatriated. Taxes are accrued and applied to net investment income, net realized gains and unrealized appreciation as such income and/or gains are earned.
Each Fund has complied and intends to continue to comply with the requirements of the Internal Revenue Code that are applicable to regulated investment companies and to distribute substantially all of its taxable net investment income and any net realized capital gains to its shareholders.
The Funds recognize tax benefits or expenses of uncertain tax positions only when the position is “more likely than not” to be sustained assuming examination by tax authorities. Management of the Funds has reviewed tax positions taken in tax years that remain subject to examination by all major tax jurisdictions, including federal (i.e., the previous three tax year ends and the interim tax period since then, as applicable), and has concluded that no provision for unrecognized tax benefits or expenses is required in these financial statements and does not expect this to change over the next twelve months. The Funds recognize interest and penalties, if any, related to unrecognized tax benefits as income tax expense on the Statements of Operations. During the year ended December 31, 2020, the Funds did not incur any interest or penalties.
Distributions to shareholders — Dividends from net investment income are declared and paid monthly for the Short Duration Fund, Core Bond Fund, Corporate Credit Fund and High Yield Fund. Dividends from net investment income are declared and paid on an annual basis for the Small Cap Fund, Small-Mid Cap Fund, Mid Cap Fund, Large Cap Fund, All Cap Select Fund, Long-Short Fund, Global Fund and International Fund. Dividends are declared separately for each class. No class has preferential dividend rights; differences in per share rates are due to differences in the expenses of each class. Net realized capital gains, if any, are distributed at least annually. Distributions from net investment income and from net capital gains are determined in accordance with U.S. income tax regulations, which may differ from GAAP. These differences are primarily due to differing treatments for paydown gains and losses on mortgage-backed securities and deferrals of certain losses. Permanent book and tax basis differences are reclassified among the components of net assets. Certain Funds may utilize earnings and profits distributed to shareholders on redemption of shares as part of the dividends paid deduction for income tax purposes.

December 31, 2020
Allocations — Investment income earned, realized capital gains and losses, and unrealized appreciation and depreciation are allocated daily to each class of shares of a Fund based upon its proportionate share of total net assets of the Fund. Class specific expenses are charged directly to the class incurring the expense. Common expenses, which are not attributable to a specific class, are allocated daily to each class of shares based upon its proportionate share of total net assets of the Fund. Expenses not directly billed to a Fund are allocated proportionally among all Funds daily in relation to net assets of each Fund or another reasonable measure.
Foreign securities risk — Investing in non-U.S. securities may entail risk due to foreign economic and political developments; this risk may be higher when investing in emerging markets. Changes in currency exchange rates and differences in accounting and taxation policies outside the U.S. can raise or lower returns.
Foreign currency translation — The books and records of the Funds are maintained in U.S. dollars. Investment securities and other assets and liabilities denominated in a foreign currency are translated into U.S. dollars on the date of valuation. The Funds do not isolate that portion of realized or unrealized gains and losses resulting from changes in the foreign exchange rate from fluctuations arising from changes in the market prices of the securities. These gains and losses are included in net realized and unrealized gains (losses) on investments on the Statements of Operations. Net realized and unrealized gains (losses) on foreign currency transactions represent net foreign exchange gains or losses from foreign currency exchange contracts, disposition of foreign currencies, currency gains or losses realized between trade and settlement dates on securities transactions and the difference between the amount of the investment income and foreign withholding taxes recorded on the Funds’ books and the U.S. dollar equivalent amounts actually received or paid.

Reclassifications of capital accounts – Reclassifications result primarily from utilization of earnings and profits on shareholder redemptions. The following reclassifications have no impact on the net assets or NAV per share of the Funds and are designed to present each Fund’s capital accounts on a tax basis:
| | Paid-In Capital | | | Distributable Earnings | |

In-Kind Redemption Transactions
During the year ended December 31, 2020, Small-Mid Cap Fund realized $16,852,506 of net capital gains resulting from in-kind redemptions (redemptions in which shareholders who redeemed Fund shares received investment securities held by the Fund rather than cash). The Fund recognizes a gain on in-kind redemptions to the extent that the value of the distributed investment securities on the date of redemption exceeds the cost of those investment securities. Such gains are not taxable to the Fund and are not required to be distributed to shareholders. The Fund has reclassified this amount against paid-in capital on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities. Such reclassification, the result of permanent differences between the financial statement and income tax reporting requirements, had no effect on the Fund’s net assets or NAV per share.
Borrowings
The Small Cap Fund, Small-Mid Cap Fund, Mid Cap Fund, Large Cap Fund, All Cap Select Fund, Long-Short Fund, Global Fund, International Fund, Short Duration Fund, Core Bond Fund, Corporate Credit Fund and High Yield Fund each has an unsecured line of credit up to 20.0%, 20.0%, 20.0%, 33.3%, 25.0%, 15.0%, 20.0%, 20.0%, 20.0%, 20.0%, 15.0% and 15.0%, respectively, of its net assets, with a total maximum of $40,000,000.
Borrowings under the agreement bear interest at the higher of Federal Funds Rate or one month LIBOR plus 1.25%. The line of credit is available until June 2, 2021, unless extended, when any advances are to be repaid. During the year ended December 31, 2020, Short Duration Fund

incurred $53,171 of interest expense related to borrowings. The average debt outstanding and the weighted average interest rate for days with borrowing for the Short Duration Fund during the year ended December 31, 2020 were $40,000,000 and 2.18%, respectively. The largest outstanding borrowing during the year ended December 31, 2020 was $40,000,000. During the year ended December 31, 2020, no other Funds drew from the available lines.
In accordance with an exemptive order (the “Order”) from the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”), the Funds may participate in a joint lending and borrowing facility for temporary purposes (the “Interfund Lending Program”), subject to compliance with the terms and conditions of the Order, and to the extent permitted by each Fund’s investment policies and restrictions. A lending fund may lend in aggregate up to 15% of its net assets, but may not lend more than 5% of its net assets to any one borrowing fund through the Interfund Lending Program. A borrowing fund may not borrow through the Interfund Lending Program or from any other source more than 33 1/3% of its total assets (or any lower threshold provided for by the fund’s investment restrictions). If a borrowing fund’s total outstanding borrowings exceed 10% of its total assets, each of its outstanding interfund loans will be subject to collateralization of at least 102% of the outstanding principal value of the loan. All interfund loans are for temporary or emergency purposes and the interest rate to be charged will be the average of the highest current overnight repurchase agreement rate available to a lending fund and the bank loan rate, as calculated according to a formula established by the Board. During the year ended December 31, 2020, none of the Funds participated in the Interfund Lending Program.
Other Matters
The global spread of novel coronavirus disease (COVID-19) was declared a pandemic by the World Health Organization. This pandemic has resulted in significant disruptions to economies and markets, adversely impacting individual companies, sectors, industries, currencies, interest and inflation rates, credit ratings, and investor sentiment. COVID-19 has caused volatility, severe market dislocations and liquidity constraints in many markets, including markets for the securities the Funds hold, and may adversely affect the Funds’ investments and operations. The duration and extent of COVID-19 over the long-term cannot be reasonably estimated at this time. There have been no comparable recent events that provide guidance as to the effect the spread of COVID-19 as a global pandemic may have on the Funds’ financial performance. In addition, COVID-19 and governmental responses to COVID-19 may negatively impact the capabilities of the Funds’ service providers and disrupt the Funds’ operations. This pandemic may result in substantial market volatility and may adversely impact the prices and liquidity of a Fund’s investments. Management continues to monitor and evaluate this situation.

Subsequent Events
The Funds evaluated events from December 31, 2020 through the date that these financial statements were issued. There were no subsequent events to report that would have a material impact on the Funds’ financial statements except for the following:
On February 3, 2021, DHCM announced that it has entered into a definitive agreement to enable Brandywine Global Investment Management, LLC (“Brandywine Global”), a specialist investment manager and subsidiary of Franklin Resources, Inc., to acquire the business of the Corporate Credit and High Yield Funds. The transaction is expected to close in the second quarter of 2021, subject to customary closing conditions, including Board of Trustees and Fund shareholder approval. Portfolio managers John McClain and Bill Zox will join Brandywine Global as part of the transaction.
On February 11, 2021, the Board of Trustees approved the establishment of the Diamond Hill Large Cap Concentrated Fund. The investment objective of the Diamond Hill Large Cap Concentrated Fund is to provide long-term capital appreciation. The Diamond Hill Large Cap Concentrated Fund is co-managed by Charles Bath and Austin Hawley.
On February 19, 2021, Class C shares will be liquidated and cease operations (the “Conversion Date”). Any shareholders who remain invested in Class C shares on the Conversion Date will have their shares automatically converted to Class A shares of the applicable Fund as of the close of business on the Conversion Date. There are no fees charged in connection with the conversion.
Effective February 28, 2021, the Class A shares of each of the Funds will be renamed Investor shares. In addition, the initial sales charge on Investor shares (previously Class A shares) will be eliminated. Investor shares will no longer be subject to an initial sales charge.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm (Continued)
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 included 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 included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of December 31, 2020, by correspondence with the custodian and brokers or by other appropriate auditing procedures where replies from brokers or counterparties were not received. Our audits also included 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 auditor of one or more funds advised by Diamond Hill Capital Management, Inc. since 2015.

between the Trust and Diamond Hill Capital Management, Inc. (the “Adviser”), for each series of the Trust (each separately, a “Fund”). The Board reviewed the information at regularly scheduled meetings on July 21, 2020, and August 20, 2020, and by unanimous vote approved continuation of the Management Agreement. In concluding to renew the Management Agreement, the Board discussed the following factors, on a Fund-by-Fund basis:
a) | Nature, Extent and Quality of Services. The Trustees considered the nature, extent and quality of the services provided by the Adviser under the Management Agreement, including a review of the services provided thereunder and the Adviser’s overall reputation, integrity and mission to serve its clients through a disciplined intrinsic-value-based approach to investment that aligns the Adviser’s interests with those of its clients. The Trustees noted the qualifications of the investment staff and other key personnel of the Adviser and that the Adviser continues to invest significant resources in human capital to attract and retain top talent. The Trustees also reviewed the Adviser’s succession plan for key investment and management staff. In addition, the Trustees reviewed information related to the compensation structure for portfolio managers and other key investment personnel. Finally, the Trustees noted that the Adviser provides administrative services to the Trust under an Amended and Restated Administrative, Fund Accounting and Transfer Agency Services Agreement (“Administration Agreement”). |
b) | Investment Performance of the Funds. In evaluating the performance of each Fund, the Trustees reviewed each Fund’s absolute performance, performance relative to its passive benchmark, performance relative to a custom peer group, and performance relative to the Fund’s Morningstar category, each as of June 30, 2020. |
c) | Reasonableness of Investment Advisory Fees. The Trustees noted that the contractual fee rate for each Fund under the Management Agreement was at or below the average and median rates of the applicable Fund’s custom peer group. |
d) | Reasonableness of Total Expenses. The Trustees noted that the total expenses for all Class I and Class Y shares were at or below the median total expenses of comparable funds within the applicable Fund’s Morningstar category for all but Class I shares in two Funds (which were 1 to 2 basis points higher). As it relates to Class A and Class C, the total expenses are at or below both the average and median total expenses of comparable funds with the applicable Fund’s Morningstar category for all except Class C shares of the All Cap Select Fund and Class A shares of the Short Duration Securitized Bond Fund (which were 1 to 5 basis points higher). |
e) | Reasonableness of Investment Advisory Fees as Compared to Fees Charged to Other Clients. The Trustees reviewed the fees paid by each of the Adviser’s other clients, as well as a summary of the differences in services provided and how these differences affect fees, including the difference between serving as an adviser versus a sub-adviser. With limited exceptions, the Trustees observed that the investment advisory fees charged by the Adviser to the Funds were comparable to the investment advisory fees the Adviser charges its other similarly managed accounts (i.e., separately managed accounts). |

f) | Profitability. The Trustees considered each Fund’s profitability to the Adviser and the Adviser’s methodology for calculating its profitability. The Trustees observed that the Adviser’s pre-tax profit margin under the Management Agreement represented a fair and entrepreneurial profit for managing the Funds. The Trustees discussed that the Adviser is also the administrator to the Funds and the Trustees reviewed a separate profitability analysis relating to the administrative services provided to the Funds. The Trustees noted that the profit margin under the Administration Agreement represented a fair and entrepreneurial profit for serving as administrator to the Funds. |
g) | Economies of Scale. The Trustees reviewed the potential extent to which economies of scale would be realized as each Fund grows and whether fee levels reflect these economies of scale for the benefit of Fund shareholders. They noted that while many advisory firms reduce fees as assets under management increase with predetermined break points, the Adviser has adopted a different strategy. The Trustees considered that rather than instituting break points, the Adviser has targeted its advisory fees to correspond to its mission to add value, meaning that rather than charging a lower fee on assets above a certain level, the Adviser prefers to close a strategy to new investors so that it can efficiently manage the Fund’s assets and attempt to fulfill its responsibility to add value to existing investors. The Trustees noted that one of the Funds currently is closed to most new investors. The Trustees also noted that the Adviser has a history of voluntarily reducing its fees under the Administration Agreement when asset growth allows for the sharing of economies of scale, with the most recent reduction having taken place on February 28, 2018. |
h) | Ancillary Benefits. The Trustees considered ancillary benefits received by the Adviser as a result of its relationship with the Funds, including the ability to negotiate favorable commissions rates and have access to research that benefits all of the Adviser’s clients and the ability to serve as sub-adviser to other mutual funds. The Trustees noted that as administrator to the Funds the Adviser is expected to earn fees from the Funds for providing administrative services. The fees were shown separately in the profitability analysis presented to the Trustees. The Trustees also considered revenue and expenses of the Administrator for providing financing arrangements related to the payment of commissions to financial intermediaries for the sale of Class C Shares of the Funds. |
In their deliberations, there was a comprehensive consideration of each of the factors above in connection with each Fund, and the Trustees, all of whom qualify as Independent Trustees under the 1940 Act, concluded the compensation to be received by the Adviser from each Fund was fair and reasonable and the continuance of the Management Agreement for all of the Funds was in the best interests of each Fund and its shareholders.

Schedule of Shareholder Expenses
Hypothetical Example of a $1,000 Investment at Beginning of Period
(Unaudited)
As a Fund shareholder, you may incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including wire redemption fees and sales charges (loads) as applicable; and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees; distribution and service (12b-1) fees; and other Fund expenses. These examples are intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in a Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds. Please note that the expenses shown in the tables are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transactional costs or other fees that may apply, such as sales charges and fees for low balance accounts. Therefore, the examples are useful in comparing ongoing costs only and will not help you determine the relative total cost of owning different funds. In addition, if these transactional costs and other fees were included, your costs would have been higher.
These examples are based on an investment of $1,000 invested at July 1, 2020 and held for the entire period from July 1, 2020 through December 31, 2020.
The Actual Expense example below provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use this information, 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 table under the heading entitled “Expenses paid during the period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.
The Hypothetical Expense example below provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on each Fund’s actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not each Fund’s 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 this Fund 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.

Item 3. Audit Committee Financial Expert.
3(a)(1) The registrant’s board of directors has determined that the registrant has at least one audit committee financial expert serving on its audit committee.
3(a)(2) The audit committee financial expert is Ms. Tamara L. Fagely, who is “independent” for purposes of this Item 3 of Form N-CSR.
Item 4. Principal Accountant Fees and Services.
(a) Audit Fees. Audit fees totaled $180,500 and $201,000 in fiscal 2020 and 2019, respectively. 2020 and 2019 fees include fees associated with the annual audit and filings of the registrant’s Form N-1A and Form N-CEN.
(b) Audit-Related Fees. There were no audit-related fees in fiscal 2020 and 2019.
(c) Tax Fees. Fees for tax compliance services totaled $63,000 and $58,500 in fiscal 2020 and 2019, respectively.
(d) All Other Fees. All other fees totaled $0 and $8,494 in fiscal 2020 and 2019, respectively.
(e)(1) Audit Committee Pre-Approval Policies. The Audit Committee’s pre-approval policies describe the types of audit, audit-related, tax and other services that may receive the general pre-approval of the Audit Committee. The pre-approval policies provide that annual audit service fees, tax services not specifically granted pre-approval, services exceeding pre-approved cost levels and other services that have not received general pre-approval will be subject to specific pre-approval by the Audit Committee. The pre-approval policies further provide that the Committee may grant general pre-approval to other audit services (statutory audits and services associated with SEC registration statements, periodic reports and other documents filed with the SEC or other documents issued in connection with securities offerings), audit-related services (accounting consultations related to accounting, financial reporting or disclosure matters not classified as “audit services,” assistance with understanding and implementing new accounting and financial reporting guidance from rulemaking authorities, agreed-upon or expanded audit procedures related to accounting and/or billing records required to respond to or comply with financial, accounting or regulatory reporting matters and assistance with internal control reporting requirements under Form N-CEN and Form N-CSR), tax services that have historically been provided by the auditor that the Committee believes would not impair the independence of the auditor and are consistent with the SEC’s rules on auditor independence and permissible non-audit services classified as “all other services” that are routine and recurring services.
(e)(2) All of the services described in paragraphs (b) through (d) of Item 4 were approved by the Audit Committee.
(f) During the audit of registrant’s financial statements for the most recent fiscal year, less than 50 percent of the hours expended on the principal accountant’s engagement were attributed to work performed by persons other than the principal accountant’s full-time, permanent employee.
(g) The aggregate non-audit fees for services to the registrant, its investment adviser and any entity controlling, controlled by, or under common control with the adviser that provides ongoing services to the registrant were $0 and $37,000 in 2020 and 2019, respectively.
(h) The registrant's audit committee of the board of trustees has considered whether the provision of non-audit services that were rendered to the registrant's investment adviser (not including any sub-adviser whose role is primarily portfolio management and is subcontracted with or overseen by another investment adviser), and any entity adviser that provides ongoing services to the registrant that were not pre-approved pursuant to paragraph (c)(7)(ii) of Rule 2-01 of Regulation S-X is compatible with maintaining the principal accountant's independence.
