letter to our shareholders (Unaudited)
 
Dear Shareholders,
 
This annual report covers the one-year period ended September 30, 2017. As the seasons begin to change and many of us prepare to face more frost than sunshine, we’re hard at work striving to ensure client portfolios are adequately prepared for changing market conditions around the globe. Perhaps the term “all-weather portfolio” resonates more with winter on the horizon.
 
Many of the economic indicators and associated growth trends we discussed this time last year remain intact, and, in some cases, are showing increased signs of life. Positive developments within the United States continue to signal modest economic growth ahead, with subsiding European headwinds and constructive emerging markets data supporting the case for synchronized global growth moving into 2018. As the domestic unemployment rate has declined to a post-2008 financial crisis low, the inflation conversation becomes increasingly more central to monetary policy decisions going forward. Though economists and market participants alike have been looking for signs of upward wage pressure as labor markets have tightened, sustained improvements in payroll data have proven rather elusive thus far. An organized unwind of the Federal Reserve's $4.5 trillion balance sheet alongside current expectations for three to four rate hikes over the next 12-18 months should inevitably influence investor behavior and risk asset performance in years to come. By maintaining an unwavering focus on capital preservation and portfolio defense, City National Rochdale's investment team seeks to pursue market and idiosyncratic opportunities only when risk-adjusted return targets meet or exceed our rigorous underwriting standards.
 
Within the equity markets, post-election volatility during Q4 2016 was quickly discarded for sharp and sustained positive performance over the course of the trailing one-year period. Though emerging market stocks suffered from geopolitical uncertainty tied to the incoming administration late last year, 2017 began with a bang as Q1 performance delivered double-digit returns on the back of investor confidence in a pro-growth policy agenda. Asian markets were among the strongest performers to start the year, led by constructive industrial production data and surging property markets. Developed international equities outpaced their domestic counterparts by a narrow margin for the year, as signs of improving economic conditions across continental Europe, supported by continued accommodative monetary policy, reinforced positive investor sentiment. Within the United States, growth equities extended their gains over value stocks, driven largely by sustained earnings strength within the Information Technology sector. Energy stocks weighed on domestic index performance, as volatile and downward trending oil prices during the first half of the year drove more sales than buys.
 
Fixed income investors benefitted handsomely from corporate credit exposure, as the enduring reach for yield drove spreads tighter, particularly within lower quality corners of the market. Though credit spreads have compressed significantly since the early 2016 flare up, they are still 100 basis points higher than they were in the summer of 2014, when they reached their lowest levels since the financial crisis. At this point in the credit cycle, underwriting standards have shifted squarely in favor of issuers, as covenant-lite deals and higher leverage levels are becoming increasingly more common. That said, our keen focus on expected default rates and other potential credit deterioration signals will continue to guide our positioning towards higher quality exposures.
 
As widely expected, the Federal Reserve (the “Fed”) maintained the targeted federal-funds rate in a range of 1.00% to 1.25% and announced that it will initiate its balance sheet normalization program in October. The balance sheet normalization program will scale back the Fed’s current re-investments to allow $10 billion of assets to roll-off per month and then increase the pace of reduction by an additional $10 billion per month every three months until it reaches a total monthly run-off rate of $50 billion (an annual run rate of $600 billion). Considering the total amount of assets currently held by the Fed ($4.5 trillion), this is a very modest pace of reduction. With that said, the Fed’s current tightening cycle is not intended to slow an overheating economy. Instead, rates are simply being lifted from emergency lows, and monetary policy remains extremely accommodative. Moreover, the Fed is painfully aware of the market impact from 2013’s taper tantrum in which interest rates rose sharply, following the announcement by the Fed chairman of the tapering of the amount of quantitative easing, and continues to favor a gradual, well-advertised approach toward policy normalization.
 
Stocks continued to climb during the third quarter of 2017. Stocks sustained their march higher over the summer as escalating tensions with North Korea, a series of devastating storms, and the Fed’s announcement that it would begin to normalize its balance sheet did not dent the market as investors focused on the prospects of lower corporate tax rates. Asset

markets experienced a brief blip in volatility mid-quarter, but dwindled back as Hurricanes Harvey and Irma caused only short-term market dislocations. Additionally, among geopolitical tensions, investors have seemed to become inured to North Korean rocket launches (12 thus far this year). In terms of the fixed income markets, indices performed well during the third quarter of 2017 as the brief bout of volatility kept interest rates low, whereas ongoing healthy corporate fundamentals supported corporate credit spreads. Corporate credit markets have been lifted by a combination of generally improving credit metrics and the market’s expectation that possible revisions to tax and regulatory policies will reinvigorate economic growth and boost earnings. Additionally, credit markets benefited from a flattening yield curve, in which interest rates across the medium and longer end of the yield curve declined, thus boosting long-term focused fixed income indices.
 
Moderate economic expansion and fundamentals still support equities:
 
 
Full but fair valuations and rising corporate profit growth support a longer-term equity outlook.
 
 
Equity investors should not fear initial Fed rate hikes, as they have historically been positively correlated with stock prices when interest rates are starting at low levels.
 
Coming into 2017, we expected to face more choppy seas amid a slew of uncertainty that stemmed from various geopolitical events, the pace of Fed tightening, and results of the U.S. presidential election. A steady hand, our unwavering focus on risk management and downside protection continues to serve us well, as capital preservation will always be of paramount importance within all of the investment strategies that we manage. As always, we thank you for your trust and confidence in our abilities to continue to serve you well through your investment in the City National Rochdale Funds.
 
Sincerely,
 
Garrett R. D’Alessandro
President and Chief Executive Officer

Fixed Income Funds
 
GOVERNMENT BOND FUND – CNBIX
 
The Servicing Class Shares of the Fund posted a return of 0.19% for Q3, which slightly underperformed the Bloomberg Barclays U.S. 1-5 Year Government Bond Index’s 0.29% return. Calendar year to date, as of September 30, 2017, the Fund is lagging the benchmark’s return of 1.09% by 33 basis points with a return of 0.76%. For the fiscal year ended September 30, 2017, the Servicing Class Shares of the Fund have returned -0.34% and the benchmark has delivered a return of
-0.06%.
 
As of the most recent quarter, the portfolio moved to neutral duration positioning relative to the benchmark with a barbell structure in anticipation of a flattening yield curve. This proved to be advantageous during the quarter, as longer duration assets outperformed shorter duration positions. Morningstar, Inc. rankings reflect the low risk approach of the Fund’s management, as the Fund tracks the benchmark very closely. Due to its capital preservation style, consistency since inception, and the high credit quality of its holdings, we believe the Fund is an attractive investment in a conservative space.
 
CORPORATE BOND FUND – CNCIX
 
The Servicing Class Shares of the Fund posted a return of 0.24% for Q3, underperforming the Bloomberg Barclays 1-5 Year A3 or Higher U.S. Corporate Index’s return of 0.66%. Calendar year to date, as of September 30, 2017, the Fund is underperforming its benchmark by 0.44% (1.84% for the Fund versus 2.28% for its benchmark). For the fiscal year ended September 30, 2017, the Servicing Class Shares of the Fund have underperformed its benchmark’s return by 0.51 (0.84% for the Fund versus 1.35% for its benchmark). As of the most recent quarter, the Fund continued to outpace its benchmark from a yield and total return perspective, driven by an emphasis on investing in lower quality bonds within the investment grade universe. Sector allocation detracted from relative performance as bonds within the Industrial sector lagged bonds within the Financial sector. The benchmark holds 40% exposure to banks while the Fund cannot hold exposure to any industry greater than 25% per SEC regulations. The driving force behind the underperformance was exposure to a third-party managed mutual fund that invests in the risk reinsurance market. During September 2017, the United States was hit by both Hurricanes Harvey and Irma. As a result, this allocation lost nearly 14.1% for the month or 37 basis points of performance from the Corporate Bond Fund.
 
CALIFORNIA TAX EXEMPT BOND FUND – CNTIX
 
The Servicing Class Shares of the Fund posted a return of 0.53% for Q3, slightly underperforming the Bloomberg Barclays Intermediate-Short California Municipal Bond Index’s return of 0.57% by 4 basis points. Calendar year to date, as of September 30, 2017, the Fund returned 2.77% versus the benchmark of 3.19% For the fiscal year ended September 30, 2017, the Servicing Class Shares of the Fund returned 0.31%, lagging the benchmark’s return of 0.83%. For the majority of the year, the Fund’s duration was slightly less than that of the benchmark. This proved beneficial immediately after the U.S. presidential election as rates rose sharply, but as rates started to decline after the first of the year, the Fund's short duration resulted in some underperformance. The Fund also held shares of The City National Rochdale Municipal High Income Fund, which added to some additional underperformance immediately after the election. The Fund's underweight position in pre-refunded bonds and California General Obligation bonds was additive to performance most of the year. The Fund maintained between 5% and 10% in cash equivalents that have seen yields rise steadily as the Fed has increased short-term rates. As of fiscal year end the Fund maintained a barbell strategy that helped performance during the last quarter as the yield curve has flattened.
 
MUNICIPAL HIGH INCOME FUND – CNRMX
 
The Servicing Class Shares of the Fund posted a return of 1.88% for Q3, outperforming the Bloomberg Barclays High Yield Muni Index’s return of 1.50% by 38 basis points. Calendar year to date, as of September 30, 2017, the Fund outperformed the benchmark’s return of 7.72% by 20 basis points with a return of 7.92%. For the fiscal year ended September 30, 2017, the Servicing Class Shares of the Fund returned 0.50%, lagging its benchmark’s return of 1.43% by 93 basis points. The primary reasons the Fund outperformed the benchmark both on a quarterly and annual basis were the Fund’s underweight position versus the benchmark in Puerto Rico bonds, and its overweight position in nonrated
 
CITY NATIONAL ROCHDALE FUNDS | PAGE 4

 
    
 
bonds. During the year, the Fund reduced its holdings of Puerto Rico bonds from less than 2% of its net assets to 0%, compared to the benchmark's holdings of approximately 24%. Worsening financial distress caused further defaults for nearly all of Puerto Rico’s debt. Ensuing bond price declines in Puerto Rico debt reduced the Index's returns. As in many sectors, credit spreads tightening caused nonrated and below investment grade bonds to outperform, contributing to the Fund outperforming its benchmark during the quarter and year to date.
 
The fiscal year underperformance was caused by the Fund’s duration being longer than the Index's duration during the fourth quarter of 2016, as rates rose substantially during the quarter. During 2017, the Fund's duration has been approximately the same as the Index's duration.
 
HIGH YIELD BOND FUND – CHYIX
 
The Servicing Class Shares of the Fund posted a return of 1.77% for Q3, lagging the Citigroup High Yield Market Capped Index’s return of 1.91% by 14 basis points. Calendar year to date, as of September 30, 2017, the Fund is behind the benchmark’s return of 6.36% by 96 basis points with a return of 5.40%. For the fiscal year ended September 30, 2017, the Servicing Class Shares of the Fund returned 8.42%, up 4 basis points over its benchmark's return of 8.38%. The Fund underperformed its benchmark in nearly all situations because of asset class exposure and risk weights. As of September 30, 2017, the Fund has 87% exposure to high yield bonds and 13% exposure to higher quality assets, such as bank loans (7%), investment grade bonds (3%), and cash (2%). The manager has maintained a similar average credit quality of the overall portfolio over the course of the last year relative to the benchmark. Similar credit risk, with lower interest rate risk from bank loan exposure is intended to help insulate against elevated volatility that has affected credit markets over the past few years. The Fund’s approximate 7% allocation to bank loans has also been a constructive hedge against downside risk, as senior secured paper has performed relatively well during periods of market stress. Loans have underperformed high yield bonds over the past year, so when comparing attribution of returns for only the high yield bonds, the underlying performance has been slightly stronger than the benchmark. Therefore, we are pleased with the absolute performance of the strategy, and with the risk adjusted performance relative to the benchmark over the past year.
 
INTERMEDIATE FIXED INCOME FUND – RIMCX
 
The Class N Shares of the Fund posted a return of 0.19% for Q3, underperforming the Bloomberg Barclays Intermediate U.S. Government/Credit Index’s return of 0.60%. Calendar year to date, as of September 30, 2017, the Fund is underperforming its benchmark’s return of 2.34% by 9 basis points with a return of 2.25%. For the fiscal year ended September 30, 2017, the Class N Shares of the Fund returned 0.48%, outperforming its benchmark’s return of 0.23% by 25 basis points. As of the most recent quarter, the Fund continued to outpace its benchmark from a yield and total return perspective, driven by an emphasis on investing in lower quality bonds within the investment grade universe. The significant overweight to credit has been the most meaningful driver of outperformance for the fiscal year. The slight underweight duration positioning relative to the benchmark was a performance tailwind. The driving force behind the underperformance was exposure to a third-party managed mutual fund that invests in the risk reinsurance market. During September 2017, the United States was hit by both Hurricanes Harvey and Irma. As a result, this allocation lost nearly 14.1% for the month and 46 basis points of performance from the Fund.
 
FIXED INCOME OPPORTUNITIES FUND – RIMOX
 
The Fund posted a return of 2.07% for Q3, outperforming all asset class specific benchmarks. Calendar year to date, as of September 30, 2017, the Fund is outperforming the Bloomberg Barclays Aggregate Index's return of 3.14% by 219 basis points with a return of 5.33%. For the fiscal year ended September 30, 2017, the Fund returned 7.99%, outperforming the Bloomberg Barclays Aggregate Index's return of 0.07% by 792 basis points. The Fund’s diversified asset class exposures have been instrumental in delivering an attractive yield profile, without assuming an inordinate amount of interest rate risk. With nearly 30% of the Fund allocated to a combination of domestic and European bank loans, the strategy has been well positioned to withstand the elevated volatility experienced in the credit markets. The

Fund’s emerging markets high yield and U.S. high yield bond allocations have been two of the strongest performers during the year. Both of these areas outperformed the more conservative segment of bank loans.

Performance data quoted represents past performance and does not guarantee similar future results. The investment performance 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, and current performance may be lower or higher than the performance quoted.

The Government Bond Fund’s, Corporate Bond Fund’s, California Tax Exempt Bond Fund’s, Municipal High Income Fund’s, High Yield Bond Fund’s, Intermediate Fixed Income Fund’s and Fixed Income Opportunities Fund’s investment performance reflects voluntary fee waivers in effect. Absent these waivers, total return and yield would be lower. The Adviser intends to continue these arrangements at least through January 31, 2018, but there can be no assurance that City National Rochdale, LLC will continue to waive fees.
 
Mutual fund investing involves risk, including loss of principal. Bonds and bond funds are subject to interest rate risk and will decline in value as interest rates rise. The securities of mid-cap companies may have greater price volatility and less liquidity than the securities of larger capitalized companies. Emerging markets involve heightened risk related to the same factors as well as increased volatility and lower trading volume.
 
The California Tax Exempt Bond Fund invests primarily in California securities and may be more volatile and susceptible to a single adverse economic or regulatory occurrence affecting those obligations than a fund investing in obligations of a number of states.
 
The credit quality breakdown depicts the credit quality ratings of the Fund’s portfolio securities that are rated by one or both of two major nationally recognized statistical rating organizations (“NRSROs”). The two NRSROs currently utilized for this purpose are Standard & Poor’s (S&P) and Moody’s. When a bond is rated by S&P that rating is utilized. If it is not rated by S&P, the Moody’s rating is utilized. When a security is rated by neither, it is classified as “Not Rated”. For bonds, these credit quality ratings are shown without regard to gradations within a given rating category. For example, securities rated “AA-” or “AA+” have been included in the “AA” rated category. Long-term ratings are measured on a scale that generally ranges from AAA (highest) to D (lowest).
 
Duration is a measure of a bond's sensitivity to interest rate changes. The higher the bond's duration, the greater its sensitivity to the change.

Equity Funds
 
DIVIDEND & INCOME FUND – RIMHX
 
The Fund posted a return of 0.15% for Q3, underperforming the blended benchmark’s (Dow Jones U.S. Selected Dividend Index: 60%; BofA ML Core Fixed Rate Preferred Securities Index: 25%; MSCI U.S. REIT Index: 15%) return of 1.70%. Calendar year to date, as of September 30, 2017, the Fund delivered a return of 4.25%, lagging the blended benchmark’s 8.26% return. For the fiscal year ended September 30, 2017, the Class N Shares of the Fund generated a 4.66% return, underperforming the benchmark’s return of 9.03%.
 
Coming off a very strong 2016 (and a very strong 2014 in the recent past), we found the post-Trump market to be difficult for our type valued-oriented names in terms of outperformance, as the certain cyclical and growth-oriented sectors of the market (including within our benchmark) rapidly moved upward. Specifically, roughly 2% of the Fund's underperformance (about half overall) was due to an underweight in low dividend, highly cyclical equities in the Industrial and Materials space. Another roughly 185 basis points was due to the Fund being underweight in Utilities relative to the benchmark. Finally, the Fund's overweight position in Consumer Staples hurt the Fund by roughly 50 basis points, as the sector was weak during the year. Going forward, we have confidence in the stability of the dividends paid by our companies and according to our research, we believe the growth of those dividends paid by our companies may be in the 3-8% range. Thus we feel that the Fund's strategy can accrue value relative to the benchmark, especially as the rapid upward move in cyclical, higher beta stocks slows down.
 
U.S. Core Equity Fund – CNRUX
 
For the fiscal year ended September 30, 2017, the Institutional Class Shares of the Fund returned 19.40%, versus 18.61% for the S&P 500 Index, an outperformance of 79 basis points. Stock selection was the primary reason for the outperformance representing 64% of the excess returns. At the sector level, Consumer Discretionary outperformed by 178 basis points, Health Care by 63 basis points, and Information Technology by 50 basis points. The Financial and Industrial sectors detracted performance by 58 basis points and 59 basis points, respectively.
 
On a year to date basis, as of September 30, 2017, the Institutional Share Class posted a return of 17.18%, 294 basis points above the S&P 500 Index’s return of 14.24%. Stock selection was strong for the period, representing 72% of the excess returns. Year to date, the best performing industries were Software and Services, contributing 207 basis points and Consumer Durables and Apparel contributing 70 basis points. The industries that detracted the most year to date were Technology Hardware (-50 basis points) and Insurance (-44 basis points), due to negative contributions from stock selection.
 
While we have lowered the risk profile of the portfolio as valuations in equity markets continue to rise we are maintaining our focus on high quality, visible earnings companies.
 
EMERGING MARKETS FUND – RIMIX
 
The Class N Shares of the Fund posted returns of 9.41% for Q3, outperforming the MSCI Emerging Markets Index and the MSCI Emerging Markets Asia Index by 152 basis points and 239 basis points, respectively. Calendar year to date, as of September 30, 2017, the Class N Shares of the Fund returned 35.91%, outperforming the MSCI Emerging Markets Index and the MSCI Emerging Markets Asia Index by 813 basis points and 409 basis points, respectively. For the fiscal year ended September 30, 2017, the Class N Shares of the Fund had a total return of 26.66%, outperforming the MSCI Emerging Markets Index by 420 basis points and the MSCI Emerging Markets Asia Index by 284 basis points. In September, the Fund's outperformance relative to the MSCI Emerging Markets Index is attributable to stock selection and currency effects. The stock selection outperformance came from continued gains in the Fund's top two Chinese Consumer Technology positions, which reported better than expected earnings in the quarter. Year to date, these top two positions in which the Fund is overweight, remain the top performers within the Fund. While currency outperformed in the month of September due to weakness in the South African Rand and South Korean Won, two currencies which the Fund has little to no exposure to, year to date currency has been the biggest detractor of relative performance. By country, China/Hong Kong, where the Fund remains overweight, was the best performing market both for the

month of September and year to date. During September, the Fund also saw contribution versus the benchmark from weakness in South Africa, a market the Fund has no exposure to.

Performance data quoted represents past performance and does not guarantee similar future results. The investment performance 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, and current performance may be lower or higher than the performance quoted. For performance data current to the most recent month end, please call 1-888-889-0799.
 
Index performance returns do not reflect any management fees, transaction costs or expenses. Indexes are unmanaged and one cannot invest directly in an index.
 
The Dividend & Income Fund’s, U.S. Core Equity Fund’s and Emerging Markets Fund’s investment performance reflects voluntary fee waivers in effect. Absent these waivers, total return and yield would be lower. The Adviser intends to continue these arrangements at least through January 31, 2018 but there can be no assurance that City National Rochdale, LLC will continue to waive fees.
 
Mutual fund investing involves risk including loss of principal. Bonds and bond funds are subject to interest rate risk and will decline in value as interest rates rise. The securities of mid-cap companies may have greater price volatility and less liquidity than the securities of larger capitalized companies. Emerging markets involve heightened risk related to the same factors as well as increased volatility and lower trading volume.
 
Beta is a measure of the volatility, or systematic risk, of a security or a portfolio in comparison to the market as a whole. A Company may reduce or eliminate its dividend, causing losses to the fund.

City National Rochdale U.S. Core Equity Fund
 
The Fund seeks to provide long-term capital appreciation by investing primarily in common stock of large and middle capitalization corporations domiciled in the United States.
 

Comparison of Change in the Value of a $10,000 Investment in the City National Rochdale U.S. Core Equity Fund, Servicing Class Shares, versus the S&P 500 Index(1)
 
 
(1)
The performance in the above graph does not reflect the deduction of taxes the shareholder will pay on Fund distributions or the redemptions of Fund shares. Investment performance reflects fee waivers in effect. In the absence of such waivers, total return would be reduced. Effective January 31, 2016, the Adviser discontinued the voluntary fee waivers for the Fund.
 
Past performance is no indication of future performance.
 
The Fund’s comparative benchmark does not include the annual operating expenses incurred by the Fund. Please note that one cannot invest directly in an unmanaged index.

The unobservable inputs used to determine fair value of recurring Level 3 assets may have similar or diverging impacts on valuation. Significant increases and decreases in these inputs in isolation and the interrelationships between them could result in significantly higher or lower fair value measurements. Increases in projected collection rates in isolation would result in a higher fair value measurement, while increases in expected discount rates, projected default rates, and maturities of life settlement contracts, in isolation, would result in a lower fair value measurement.
 
For the year ended September 30, 2017, there were transfers between Level 2 and Level 3 assets and liabilities. Transfers between Levels are recognized at period end.
 
The transfers between fair values hierarchy levels were due to changes in the availability of observable inputs to determine fair value.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2013, and the year or period ended December 31. Effective March 29, 2013, Rochdale Investment Trust’s Rochdale Intermediate Fixed Income Portfolio (the “Predecessor Fund”) was merged into City National Rochdale Funds’ City National Rochdale Intermediate Fixed Income Fund. Information presented for the period prior to March 29, 2013, is that of the respective Predecessor Fund, which had a December 31 fiscal year end.
Per share calculations are based on Average Shares outstanding throughout the period.
Returns are for the period indicated and have not been annualized. Fee waivers are in effect; if they had not been in effect, performance would have been lower. Returns shown do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on fund distributions or the redemption of fund shares.
^^
Amount represents less than $0.01.
(1)
Annualized for periods less than one year.
(2)
Ratio includes waivers and previously waived investment advisory fees recovered. The impact of the recovered fees may cause a higher net expense ratio.
 
Amounts designated as “—” are either $0 or have been rounded to $0.

SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES:
 
The following is a summary of significant accounting policies followed by the Funds.
 
Use of Estimates – The Funds are investment companies that conform with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”). Therefore the Funds follow the accounting and reporting guidance for investment companies. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with 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.
 
Security Valuation – Securities listed on a securities exchange, market or automated quotation system for which quotations are readily available (except for securities traded on NASDAQ) are valued at the last quoted sale price on the primary exchange or market (foreign or domestic) on which they are traded, or, if there is no such reported sale, at the most recent quoted bid price. For securities traded on NASDAQ, the NASDAQ Official Closing Price is used. If available, debt securities are priced based upon valuations provided by independent, third-party pricing agents. Such values generally reflect the last reported sales price if the security is actively traded. The third-party pricing agents may also value debt securities at an evaluated bid price by employing methodologies that utilize actual market transactions, broker-supplied valuations, or other methodologies designed to identify the market value for such securities. Debt obligations with remaining maturities of sixty days or less may be valued at their amortized cost, if the Funds’ Fair Value Committee concludes it approximates market value after taking into account factors such as credit, liquidity and interest rate conditions as well as issuer specific factors. Investments in underlying registered investment companies are valued at their respective daily net assets in accordance with pricing procedures approved by their respective boards. The prices for foreign securities are reported in local currency and converted to U.S. dollars using currency exchange rates. Prices for most securities held by the Funds are provided daily by recognized independent pricing agents. If a security price cannot be obtained from an independent, third-party pricing agent, the Funds seek to obtain a bid price from one or more independent brokers.
 
Securities for which market prices are not “readily available” are valued in accordance with Fair Value Procedures established by the Trust’s Board of Trustees. The Funds’ Fair Value Procedures are implemented through a Fair Value Committee (the “Committee”) designated by the Trust’s Board of Trustees. Some of the more common reasons that may necessitate that a security be valued using Fair Value Procedures include: the security’s trading has been halted or suspended; the security has been de-listed from a national exchange; the security’s primary trading market is temporarily closed at a time when under normal conditions it would be open; for international securities, market events occur after the close of the foreign markets that make closing prices not representative of fair value; or the security’s primary pricing source is not able or willing to provide a price. When a security is valued in accordance with the Fair Value
 
CITY NATIONAL ROCHDALE FUNDS | PAGE 135

 
notes to financial statements/
consolidated notes to financial statements
 
Procedures, the Committee will determine the value after taking into consideration relevant information reasonably available to the Committee.
 
Beginning January 1, 2017, investments in life settlement policies (“Policies”) are valued using a probabilistic method, for an actuarially derived valuation approach, in order to determine the fair value of each Policy. Previously, the Policies were valued using a deterministic method. The change in methodology resulted in approximately $22.5 million decrease to the fair value. The Fair Value Procedures recognize that the Policies are illiquid and that no market currently exists for the Policies. Under the probabilistic method, two life expectancies are obtained from established life expectancy providers on the insured(s) of the Policy and an actuarial table is used to determine the probability of survival in each year going forward for the insured(s) for each of the two life expectancies. The probabilities associated with each life expectancy are then utilized along with the premiums due and the death benefit of the Policy for each year of the Policy to determine expected cash flows. These cash flows are then discounted at a rate that accounts for the risk associated with the Policy and various other factors. The valuations from each life expectancy are then typically averaged to obtain the desired market valuation for the investor. Life settlement policies are included in Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy.
 
In accordance with GAAP, the objective of a fair value measurement is to determine 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 (an exit price). The fair value hierarchy gives the highest priority to quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3). The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are described below:
 
 
Level 1 — Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical, unrestricted assets or liabilities that the Funds have the ability to access at the measurement date;
 
 
Level 2 — Quoted prices in inactive markets, or inputs that are observable (either directly or indirectly) for substantially the full term of the asset or liability; and
 
 
Level 3 — Prices, inputs or exotic modeling techniques which are both significant to the fair value measurement and unobservable (supported by little or no market activity).
 
Investments are classified within the level of the lowest significant input considered in determining fair value. Investments classified within Level 3, the fair value measurement of which considers several inputs, may include Level 1 or Level 2 inputs as components of the overall fair value measurement.
 
For the year ended September 30, 2017, the Funds’ fair valuation methodology for Policies changed from a discounted cash flow model, which used a “deterministic method” for valuing the Policies, to the probabilistic method described above. None of the Funds’ other fair valuation methodologies changed during the period. For more details on the investment classifications, refer to the Schedules of Investments/Consolidated Schedule of Investments.
 
Security Transactions and Related Income – Security transactions are accounted for on the trade date of the security purchase or sale. Costs used in determining net realized capital gains and losses on the sale of securities are those of the specific securities sold. Interest income is recognized on an accrual basis and dividend income is recognized on the ex-dividend date. Purchase discounts and premiums on securities held by the Funds are accreted and amortized to maturity using the scientific method, which approximates the effective interest method over the holding period of a security, except for the Government Money Market Fund, which use a straight line basis which is not materially different from the scientific method.
 
Repurchase Agreements – Securities pledged as collateral for repurchase agreements are held by BNY Mellon until maturity of the repurchase agreements. Provisions of the agreements and procedures adopted by the investment adviser require that the market value of the collateral, including accrued interest thereon, is sufficient in the event of default by the counterparty. The Funds also invest in tri-party repurchase agreements. Securities held as collateral for tri-party repurchase agreements are maintained by the broker’s custodian bank in a segregated account until maturity of the repurchase agreements. Provisions of the agreements require that the market value of the collateral, including accrued interest thereon, is sufficient in the event of default. If the counterparty defaults and the value of the collateral declines or if the counterparty enters into an insolvency proceeding, realization of the collateral by a Fund may be delayed or limited.
 
TBA Transactions – The Funds may engage in “to be announced” (“TBA”) security transactions. Such transactions involve a commitment by a Fund to purchase or sell securities for a predetermined price or yield, with payment and delivery taking place beyond the customary settlement period. The Funds
 
CITY NATIONAL ROCHDALE FUNDS | PAGE 136

 
   
 
record TBA securities on the trade date and maintain security positions such that sufficient liquid assets will be available to make payments for the securities purchased.
 
Expense Allocation – Common expenses incurred by the Funds are allocated among the Funds (i) based upon relative average daily net assets, (ii) as incurred on a specific identification basis, (iii) equally, or (iv) a combination of the above, depending on the nature of the expenditure.
 
Classes – Class-specific expenses are borne by that class. Income, non class-specific expenses, and realized and unrealized gains/losses are allocated to the respective class on the basis of relative net asset value each day.
 
Dividends and Distributions to Shareholders – Dividends from net investment income are declared daily and paid to shareholders monthly for the Government Money Market Fund and Fixed Income Funds except for the Intermediate Fixed Income Fund and Fixed Income Opportunities Fund. Dividends from net investment income are declared and paid quarterly for the Intermediate Fixed Income Fund, Fixed Income Opportunities Fund and Equity Funds, except for the Emerging Markets Fund. Dividends from net investment income are declared and paid annually for the Emerging Markets Fund. Distributions from net realized capital gains are distributed to shareholders at least annually.
 
Foreign Currency – Values of investments denominated in foreign currencies are converted into U.S. dollars using the spot market rate of exchange at the time of valuation. Purchases and sales of investments and dividend and interest income are translated into U.S. dollars using the spot market rate of exchange prevailing on the respective dates of such translations. The gain or loss upon the sale of a security resulting from changes in foreign exchange rates is included with the net realized and unrealized gain or loss from investments, as appropriate. Foreign securities and currency transactions may involve certain considerations and risks not typically associated with those of domestic origin.
 
Forward Foreign Currency Contracts – A forward foreign currency contract is an agreement between two parties to buy or sell a currency at a set price on a future date. Forward contracts are marked to market daily and the change in market value is recorded as an unrealized gain (loss) on forward foreign currency contracts in the Statements of Assets and Liabilities/Consolidated Statement of Assets and Liabilities. When a contract is closed, a Fund records a realized gain or loss equal to the difference between the value of the contract at the time it was opened and the value at the time it was closed, which is included within realized gain (loss) on foreign currency transactions in the Statements of Operations/Consolidated Statement of Operations. A Fund could be at risk if the counterparties are unable to meet the terms of the contracts or if the value of the currency changes unfavorably.
 
To reduce counterparty risk with respect to over-the-counter (“OTC”) transactions, the High Yield Bond Fund and the Fixed Income Opportunities Fund have entered into master netting arrangements, established within the High Yield Bond Fund’s and the Fixed Income Opportunities Fund’s International Swaps and Derivatives Association, Inc. (“ISDA”) master agreements, which allow the High Yield Bond Fund and the Fixed Income Opportunities Fund to make (or to have an entitlement to receive) a single net payment in the event of default (close-out netting) for outstanding payables and receivables with respect to certain OTC positions in forward foreign currency contracts for each individual counterparty. In addition, the High Yield Bond Fund and the Fixed Income Opportunities Fund may require that certain counterparties post cash and/or securities in collateral accounts to cover their net payment obligations for those derivative contracts subject to ISDA master agreements. If the counterparty fails to perform under these contracts and agreements, the cash and/or securities will be made available to the High Yield Bond Fund and/or the Fixed Income Opportunities Fund.
 
For financial reporting purposes, the High Yield Bond Fund and the Fixed Income Opportunities Fund do not offset derivative assets and derivative liabilities that are subject to netting arrangements in the Statements of Assets and Liabilities/Consolidated Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Bankruptcy or insolvency laws of a particular jurisdiction may impose restrictions on or prohibitions against the right of offset in bankruptcy, insolvency or other events.
 
Collateral terms are contract specific for OTC derivatives. For derivatives traded under an ISDA master agreement, the collateral requirements are typically calculated by netting the mark to market amount of each transaction under such agreement and comparing that amount to the value of any collateral currently pledged by the High Yield Bond Fund and the Fixed Income Opportunities Fund, or the counterparty.
 
For financial reporting purposes, cash collateral that has been pledged to cover obligations of the High Yield Bond Fund and the Fixed Income Opportunities Fund, if any, is reported separately on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities/Consolidated Statement of Assets and Liabilities as cash pledged as collateral. Non-cash collateral pledged by the High Yield

consolidated notes to financial statements
 
Bond Fund and the Fixed Income Opportunities Fund, if any, is noted in the Schedule of Investments/Consolidated Schedule of Investments. Generally, the amount of collateral due from or to a party must exceed a minimum transfer amount threshold before a transfer has to be made. To the extent amounts due to the High Yield Bond Fund and the Fixed Income Opportunities Fund from the Funds' counterparties are not fully collateralized, contractually or otherwise, the High Yield Bond Fund and the Fixed Income Opportunities Fund bear the risk of loss from counterparty nonperformance.

Futures Contracts – To the extent consistent with their investment objective and strategies, certain Funds may use futures contracts for tactical hedging purposes as well as to enhance the Funds’ returns. Initial margin deposits of cash or securities are made upon entering into futures contracts. The contracts are marked to market daily and the resulting changes in value are accounted for as unrealized gains or losses. Variation margin payments are paid or received, depending upon whether unrealized gains or losses are incurred. When a contract is closed, a Fund records a realized gain or loss equal to the difference between the proceeds from (or cost of) the closing transaction and the amount invested in the contract.
 
Risks of entering into futures contracts include the possibility that there will be an imperfect price correlation between the futures contract and the underlying securities. Second, it is possible that a lack of liquidity for futures contracts could exist in the secondary market, resulting in an inability to close a position prior to its maturity date. Third, futures contracts involve the risk that a Fund could lose more than the original margin deposit required to initiate a futures transaction.
 
Finally, the risk exists that losses could exceed amounts disclosed on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities or Consolidated Statement of Assets and Liabilities. As of September 30, 2017, there were no open futures contracts.
 
Options Contracts – A Fund may also purchase put and call options. Purchasing call options tends to increase a Fund’s exposure to the underlying instrument. Purchasing put options tends to decrease a Fund’s exposure to the underlying instrument. When purchasing an option, a Fund will pay a premium which is included on the Fund’s Statement of Assets and Liabilities and subsequently marked to market to reflect the current value of the option. Premiums paid for purchasing options which expire are treated as realized losses. Certain options may be purchased with premiums to be determined on a future date. The premiums for these options are based upon implied volatility parameters at specified terms. The risk associated with purchasing put and call options is limited to the premium paid. Premiums paid for purchasing options which are exercised or closed are added to the amounts paid or offset against the proceeds on the underlying investment transaction to determine the unrealized gain or loss.
 
The net realized gain or loss on options contracts is reflected in the Statement of Operations and the net unrealized gains/(losses) are included as a component of the net change in unrealized appreciation/(depreciation) on options contracts in the Statement of Operations. Realized and changes in unrealized gains or losses on options contracts during the period as
 
CITY NATIONAL ROCHDALE FUNDS | PAGE 138

 
   
 
disclosed in the Statements of Operations, serve as indicators of the volume of derivative activity for a Fund. As of September 30, 2017, there were no open options contracts.
 
Restricted Securities – Restricted securities include securities that have not been registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and securities that are subject to restrictions on resale.
 
A Fund may invest in restricted securities that are consistent with the Fund’s investment objective and investment strategies. A Fund will not invest in a restricted security if, immediately after and as a result of the investment in such security, more than 15% (5% in the case of the Government Money Market Fund) of the Fund’s net assets would be invested in illiquid securities. In some cases, the issuer of restricted securities has agreed to register such securities for resale, at the issuer’s expense either upon demand by a Fund or in connection with another registered offering of the securities. Investments in restricted securities are valued at fair value as determined in good faith in accordance with procedures adopted by the Board of Trustees. It is possible that the estimated value may differ significantly from the amount that might ultimately be realized in the near term, and the difference could be material.
 
Master Limited Partnerships – Entities commonly referred to as “MLPs” are generally organized under state law as limited partnerships or limited liability companies. The Dividend & Income Fund may, as a non-principal investment strategy, invest in MLPs receiving partnership taxation treatment under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, interests or “units” of which are traded on securities exchanges like shares of corporate stock. To qualify as an MLP for U.S. Federal income tax purposes, an entity must receive at least 90% of its income from qualifying sources such as interest, dividends, real estate rents, gains from the sale or disposition of real property, income and gains from certain mineral or natural resources activities, income and gains from the transportation or storage of certain fuels, and, in certain circumstances, income and gains from commodities or futures, forwards and options with respect to commodities, and gains from the sale or other disposition of a capital asset held for the production of such income. Mineral or natural resources activities include exploration, development, production, mining, processing, refining, marketing and transportation (including pipelines), of oil and gas, minerals, geothermal energy, fertilizer, timber or industrial source carbon dioxide. An MLP consists of a general partner and limited partners (or in the case of MLPs organized as limited liability companies, a managing member and members). The general partner or managing member typically controls the operations and management of the MLP and has an ownership stake in the partnership. The limited partners or members, through their ownership of limited partner or member interests, provide capital to the entity, are intended to have no role in the operation and management of the entity, and receive cash distributions. The MLPs themselves generally do not pay U.S. Federal income taxes. Thus, unlike investors in corporate securities, direct MLP investors are generally not subject to double taxation (i.e., corporate level tax and tax on corporate dividends). Currently, most MLPs operate in the energy, natural resources or real estate sectors.
 
Investments in Irish Subsidiary – The Fixed Income Opportunities Fund may invest up to 15% of its net assets in life insurance policies and interests related thereto purchased through life settlement transactions. The Fund may invest in life insurance policies and related interests directly or through a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Fund under the laws of Ireland (the “Subsidiary”).
 
The principal purpose of investment in the Subsidiary is to allow the Fixed Income Opportunities Fund to gain exposure to life insurance policies within the limitations of the federal tax law requirements applicable to regulated investment companies. The Subsidiary is a company organized under the laws of Ireland and is overseen by its own board of directors. Although the Subsidiary has its own board of directors, the Subsidiary is wholly-owned and controlled by the Fund. The Subsidiary is not an investment company registered under the 1940 Act and is not subject to all of the investor protections of the 1940 Act.
 
Information regarding the Fixed Income Opportunities Fund and the Subsidiary has been consolidated in the Consolidated Schedule of Investments, Consolidated Statement of Assets and Liabilities, Consolidated Statement of Operations, Consolidated Statement of Changes in Net Assets and Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows.
 
The Subsidiary commenced operations on October 3, 2013. The net assets of the Subsidiary at September 30, 2017, were $160,003,996, which represented 5.8% of the net assets of the Fixed Income Opportunities Fund.
 
Investments in Mauritius Subsidiary – To the extent that the Emerging Markets Fund seeks to invest in the securities of Indian companies, it currently intends to do so by investing in shares of a wholly-owned collective investment vehicle (the “Mauritius Subsidiary”) registered with and regulated by the Mauritius Financial Services Commission that is also managed by City National Rochdale. The Mauritius Subsidiary was formed to allow the Fund’s investments in Indian companies to benefit from a favorable tax treaty between Mauritius and India. In order to do so, the Mauritius Subsidiary will seek to maintain residency in Mauritius.

consolidated notes to financial statements
 
Due to the recent amendment of the tax treaty between India and Mauritius, the capital gains tax exemption on shares of Indian companies will be phased out over a two-year period that began on April 1, 2017, and ends on March 31, 2019. Shares of Indian companies acquired after April 1, 2017, will be subject to a reduced capital gains tax until March 31, 2019, and shares will be taxed at India’s full tax rate thereafter. There is no guarantee that the tax treaty will not be amended further.
 
Investments in Affiliated Securities – The Fixed Income Funds and Equity Funds may invest excess cash in the Government Money Market Fund and Municipal High Income Fund.

ADMINISTRATION, TRANSFER AGENT, DISTRIBUTION AND SHAREHOLDER SERVICES AGREEMENTS:
 
Pursuant to an Amended and Restated Administration Agreement dated January 1, 2013, as amended (the “Agreement”), SEI Investments Global Funds Services (the “Administrator”), a wholly owned subsidiary of SEI Investments Company, acts as the Trust’s administrator. Under the terms of the Agreement, the Administrator is entitled to receive an annual fee based on the average daily net assets of the Trust and subject to a minimum annual fee.
 
The Trust has adopted a Rule 12b-1 Distribution Plan (“the Plan”) with respect to Class N and Class S Shares that allows each Fund to pay distribution and servicing fees. Pursuant to the Plan, SEI Investments Distribution Co. (the “Distributor”) may receive a distribution fee, computed daily and paid monthly, at the annual rate of 0.50% of the average daily net assets of the Class S Shares and 0.30% of the average daily net assets of the Class N Shares of the Government Money Market Fund and 0.25% of the Class N Shares of the Fixed Income Funds and Equity Funds, which may be used by the Distributor to provide compensation for sales support and distribution-related activities. Pursuant to a Distribution Coordination Agreement, the entirety of the fees received by the Distributor pursuant to the Distribution Plan is transmitted to RIM Securities LLC (“RIM Securities”) as Sub-Distribution Coordinator. RIM Securities then reallows those fees to broker-dealers and service providers, including City National Rochdale and other affiliates, for payments for distribution services of the type identified in the Distribution Plan, and retains any undistributed balance of fees received from the Distributor.
 
US Bancorp Fund Services, LLC (the “Transfer Agent”) serves as transfer agent for the Trust and provides services at an annual rate of $20,000 per share class for all Funds plus other transaction based fees and out-of-pocket expenses.
 
The Trust has entered into Shareholder Servicing Agreements that permit payment of compensation to City National Bank (“CNB”) and its affiliates (including City National Rochdale), which provide certain shareholder support for their customers who own Class N, Class S, or Servicing Class Shares, as applicable. In consideration for such services, a shareholder servicing fee is charged at the annual rate of up to 0.25% of the average daily net assets of the relevant class of each Fund.
 
The Board has adopted, on behalf of Class Y shares of the Emerging Markets Fund, a Shareholder Service Plan (the “Service Plan”) under which City National Rochdale will provide, or arrange for others (such as banks, trust companies, broker-dealers and other financial intermediaries (each, a “Service Organization”)) to provide, certain specified non-distribution shareholder servicing functions for Class Y shares of the Emerging Markets Fund owned by its respective customers, including but not limited to (a) establishing and maintaining accounts and records relating to customers who invest in the Class; (b) aggregating and processing orders involving Class Y shares; (c) processing dividend and other distribution payments from the Class on behalf of customers; (d) preparing tax reports or forms on behalf of customers; (e) forwarding communications from the Fund; (f) providing subaccounting with respect to Class Y shares of the Fund or the information to the Fund necessary for subaccounting; (g) providing customers with a service that invests the assets of their accounts in Class Y shares of the Fund pursuant to specific or pre-authorized instructions; and (h) providing such other similar services as the Adviser may reasonably request to the extent it or a Service Organization is permitted to do so under applicable statutes, rules or regulations. The Class Y shares of the Emerging Markets Fund will pay the City National Rochdale or Service Organizations, as applicable, at an annual rate of up to 0.25% of the average daily net assets of Class Y shares owned by its respective customers, payable monthly.
 
CNB and City National Rochdale have agreed to voluntarily waive portions of their shareholder servicing fees with respect to certain Funds. For the year ended September 30, 2017, CNB and City National Rochdale received $23,445,372 in shareholder servicing fees from the Trust.
 
Certain officers of the Trust are also officers or employees of City National Rochdale, CNB or the Administrator. Such officers are paid no fees by the Trust for serving as officers of the Trust.

FEDERAL TAX INFORMATION:
 
Each Fund intends to qualify or continue to qualify as a regulated investment company for U.S. Federal income tax purposes and distribute all of its taxable income and net capital gains. Accordingly, no provisions for U.S. Federal income taxes are required.
 
Management has analyzed the Funds’ tax positions taken on U.S. Federal income tax returns for all open tax years and has concluded that as of September 30, 2017, no provision for income tax would be required in the Funds’ financial statements. The Funds’ U.S. Federal and state income and U.S. Federal excise tax returns for tax years for which the applicable statutes of limitations have not expired are subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service and state departments of revenue.
 
The Funds may be subject to taxes imposed by countries in which they invest, with respect to their investments in issuers existing or operating in such countries. Such taxes are generally based on income earned. The Funds accrue such taxes when the related income is earned.
 
The timing and characterization of certain income and capital gains distributions are determined annually in accordance with U.S. Federal tax regulations, which may differ from accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. As a result, net investment income/(loss) and net realized gain/(loss) on investment transactions for a reporting period may differ significantly from distributions during such period. These book/tax differences may be temporary or permanent. To the extent these differences are permanent in nature, they are charged or credited to undistributed net investment income/(loss), accumulated net realized gain/(loss), or paid-in capital, as appropriate, in the period that the differences arise.
 
Accordingly, the following permanent differences, primarily attributable to foreign currency transactions, REIT adjustments, investments in partnerships, realized gains/(losses) on paydowns, default bonds, non-deductible excise tax paid, PFIC adjustments, expired capital loss carryforward, reclass of distribution, return of capital distribution received and market discount adjustment, were reclassified to/from the following accounts as of September 30, 2017:

Post-October losses represent losses realized on investments and foreign currency transactions from November 1, 2016, through September 30, 2017, that, in accordance with U.S. Federal income tax regulations, the Funds have elected to defer and treat as having arisen in the following fiscal year.
 
Under the Regulated Investment Company Modernization Act of 2010, the Funds will be permitted to carry forward capital losses incurred in taxable years beginning after December 22, 2010, for an unlimited period. However, any losses incurred during those future taxable years will be required to be utilized prior to the losses incurred in pre-enactment taxable years. As a result of this ordering rule, pre-enactment capital loss carryforwards may be more likely to expire unused. Additionally, post-enactment capital losses that are carried forward will retain their character as either short-term or long-term capital losses rather than being considered all short-term as under previous law. Losses carried forward under these new provisions are as follows:

CONCENTRATION OF RISK
 
In the normal course of business, the Funds enter into contracts that provide general indemnifications. The Funds’ maximum exposure under these arrangements is dependent on future claims that may be made against the Funds and, therefore, cannot be established; however, based on experience, the risk of loss from such claims is considered remote.
 
The Intermediate Fixed Income Fund, the Fixed Income Opportunities Fund, the Dividend & Income Fund and the Emerging Markets Fund may invest in exchange-traded notes (“ETNs”), each as a non-principal investment strategy. ETNs are unsecured debt obligations of investment banks which are traded on exchanges and the returns of which are linked to the performance of market indexes. In addition to trading ETNs on exchanges, investors may redeem ETNs directly with the issuer on a weekly basis, typically in a minimum amount of 50,000 units, or hold the ETNs until maturity. ETNs are riskier than ordinary unsecured debt securities and have no principal protection. The Funds will generally invest in ETNs which are linked to commodities indexes. A Fund’s investment in an ETN may be influenced by many unpredictable factors, including highly volatile commodities prices, changes in supply
 
CITY NATIONAL ROCHDALE FUNDS | PAGE 144

 
   
 
and demand relationships, weather, agriculture, trade, changes in interest rates, and monetary and other governmental policies, action and inaction. Investing in ETNs is not equivalent to investing directly in index components or the relevant index itself. Because ETNs are debt securities, they possess credit risk; if the issuer has financial difficulties or goes bankrupt, the investor may not receive the return expected.
 
The Municipal High Income Fund, High Yield Bond Fund, Intermediate Fixed Income Fund and Fixed Income Opportunities Fund may invest in lower-rated corporate bonds, known as high yield bonds. High yield bonds involve greater risks of default, downgrade, or price declines and are more volatile than investment grade securities. Issuers of high yield bonds may be more susceptible than other issuers to economic downturns and investors are subject to a greater risk that the issuer may not be able to pay interest or dividends and ultimately to repay the principal upon maturity. Discontinuation of these payments could have a substantial adverse effect on the market value of the security.
 
The Intermediate Fixed Income Fund and Fixed Income Opportunities Fund may invest in asset-backed and mortgage-backed securities. As a general rule, prepayments of the principal of the loans underlying mortgage-backed or other pass-through securities increase during a period of falling interest rates and decrease during a period of rising interest rates. In periods of declining interest rates, as a result of prepayments a Fund may be required to reinvest its assets in securities with lower interest rates. In periods of increasing interest rates, the securities subject to prepayment risk held by a Fund may exhibit price characteristics of longer-term debt securities.
 
The Intermediate Fixed Income Fund and Fixed Income Opportunities Fund may invest in bank loans. Bank loans are not traded on an exchange and purchasers and sellers of bank loans generally rely on market makers, typically the administrative agent under a bank loan, to effect private sales transactions. As a result, bank loans may have relatively less liquidity than other types of fixed income assets, and a Fund may be more likely to incur losses on the sale of bank loans than on other, more liquid, investments.
 
The Fixed Income Opportunities Fund may invest in beneficial interests in individual life insurance policies. A Policy owner transfers his or her Policy at a discount to its face value (the amount that is payable upon the death of the insured) in return for an immediate cash settlement. The ultimate purchaser of the Policy (in this case, the Fund) is responsible for premiums payable on the Policy and is entitled to receive the full face value from the insurance company upon the death of the insured. If the Fund is unable to make premium payments on a Policy, the Policy will lapse and the Fund will lose its ownership interest in the Policy. There is currently no established secondary market for Policies, and the Policies are not considered liquid investments by the Fund. If the Fund must sell Policies to meet redemption requests or other cash needs, the Fund may be forced to sell at a loss. The longer the insured lives, the lower the Fund’s rate of return on the Policy. The underwriter’s estimate of the insured’s life expectancy may be incorrect. An insurance company may be unable or may refuse to pay benefits on a Policy. In addition, market quotations will not be readily available for the Policies and the Policies will be priced using a fair value methodology adopted by the Trust’s Board of Trustees. The sales price the Fund could receive for a Policy may differ from the Trust’s valuation of the Policy. A Policy is a liability of the issuing life insurance company, and if the life insurance company goes out of business, sufficient funds may not be available to pay that liability.
 
California Tax Exempt Bond Fund – Specific Risks
 
The ability of issuers to pay interest on, and repay the principal of, California municipal securities may be affected by economic and political developments in the State of California.
 
Certain securities are backed by letters of credit from various financial institutions and financial guaranty assurance agencies. These letters of credit enhance the credit quality of the individual securities; however, if any of the financial institutions’ or financial guaranty assurance agencies’ credit quality should deteriorate, it could cause the individual security’s credit quality to change. Additionally, if the Fund concentrates its letters of credit in any one financial institution, the risk of credit quality deterioration increases.
 
The Fund invests in Certificates of Participation in a municipal obligation, which are subject to annual appropriation risk.
 
Emerging Markets Fund – Specific Risks
 
Foreign investments tend to be more volatile than domestic securities, and are subject to risks that are not typically associated with domestic securities (e.g., changes in currency rates and exchange control regulations, future political and economic developments and the possibility of seizure or nationalization of companies, or the imposition of withholding taxes on income). There may be less government supervision of foreign markets. As a result, foreign issuers may not be subject to the uniform accounting, auditing, and financial reporting standards and practices applicable to domestic issuers, and there may be less publicly available information about foreign issuers.
 
CITY NATIONAL ROCHDALE FUNDS | PAGE 145

 
notes to financial statements/
consolidated notes to financial statements
 
As long as the Emerging Markets Fund holds a foreign security, its value will be affected by the value of the local currency relative to the U.S. dollar. The value of a foreign currency may decline in relation to the U.S. dollar while the Fund holds securities denominated in such currency. Currency exchange rates can be volatile and can be affected by, among other factors, the general economics of a country or the actions of the United States or foreign governments or central banks. U.S. dollar-denominated securities of foreign issuers may also be affected by currency risk, as the value of these securities may also be affected by changes in the issuer’s local currency.
 
Risks associated with foreign investments may be intensified in the case of investments in emerging market countries, the political, legal and economic systems of which are less developed and less stable than those of more developed nations. Emerging markets may have relatively unstable governments, immature economic structures, national policies restricting investments by foreigners, social instability, and different and/or developing legal systems. In some countries, there is the risk that the government may take over the assets or operations of a company or that the government may impose withholding and other taxes or limits on the removal of the Emerging Market Fund’s assets from that country. In addition, the economies of emerging markets may be predominantly based on only a few industries, may be highly vulnerable to changes in local or global trade conditions, and may suffer from extreme and volatile debt burdens or inflation rates. Such investments are often less liquid and/or more volatile than securities issued by companies located in developed nations. Emerging market securities are also subject to the risk that the securities may not be sold at the quoted market price within a reasonable period of time.
 
A more complete description of risks is included in the Funds’ prospectus and statement of additional information.

LINE OF CREDIT
 
The Funds, except for the Government Money Market Fund, have an unsecured Loan Agreement (“LOC”) with U.S. Bank N.A. Under the terms of the LOC, borrowings for an individual Fund were limited to either the lesser of 10% of the Fund’s net assets or an explicit amount on the LOC. Interest is charged to a Fund based on its borrowings at prime rate minus 0.50%.
 
Borrowing activity under the LOC for the year ended September 30, 2017, was as follows:

REGULATORY MATTERS
 
In October 2016, the Commission released its final rule on Investment Company Reporting Modernization (the “Rule”). The Rule, which introduces two new regulatory reporting forms for investment companies – Form N-PORT and Form N-CEN – also contains amendments to Regulation S-X, which impact the form and content of financial statements, particularly with respect to the disclosure of derivative investments. Management is still evaluating the impact of the Rule, but they believe that many of the Regulation S-X amendments are consistent with the Funds’ current financial statement presentation and they expect that the Funds will be in compliance with the Rule’s Regulation S-X amendments by the August 1, 2017, compliance date.
 
11.
SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
 
The Trust has evaluated the need for additional disclosures and/or adjustments resulting from subsequent events. Based on this evaluation, no adjustments were required to the financial statements as of September 30, 2017, and no issues were noted to disclose.

report of independent registered public accounting firm
  
 
To the Shareholders and Board of Trustees
of City National Rochdale Funds
 
We have audited the accompanying statements of assets and liabilities of Government Money Market Fund, Government Bond Fund, Corporate Bond Fund, California Tax Exempt Bond Fund, Municipal High Income Fund, High Yield Bond Fund, Intermediate Fixed Income Fund, Fixed Income Opportunities Fund (consolidated), Dividend & Income Fund, U.S. Core Equity Fund, and Emerging Markets Fund (consolidated), each a series of shares of beneficial interest in City National Rochdale Funds (the “Funds”), including the schedules of investments, as of September 30, 2017, and the related statements of operations and cash flows (for Fixed Income Opportunities Fund only) for the year then ended, the statements of changes in net assets for each of the years in the two-year period then ended and the financial highlights for each of the years in the three-year period then ended (consolidated for Fixed Income Opportunities Fund and Emerging Markets Fund). These financial statements and financial highlights are the responsibility of the Funds' management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and financial highlights based on our audits. The financial highlights (consolidated for Fixed Income Opportunities and Emerging Markets Fund) for each of the years or periods presented through September 30, 2014 for each of the Funds were audited by other auditors, whose reports dated November 28, 2014 and March 31, 2013 expressed an unqualified opinion on those financial highlights.
 
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements and financial highlights are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of September 30, 2017 by correspondence with the custodian, brokers, and other counterparties, or by other appropriate auditing procedures. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
 
In our opinion, the financial statements and financial highlights (consolidated where noted) referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of each of the Funds comprising the City National Rochdale Funds as of September 30, 2017, and the results of their operations and cash flows (for Fixed Income Opportunities Fund only) for the year then ended, the changes in their net assets for each of the years in the two-year period then ended and their financial highlights for each of the years in the three-year period then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

“Dividends Received Deduction” represent dividends which qualify for the corporate dividends received deduction.
(2)
“Qualifying Dividend Income” represent qualifying dividends as created by the Jobs and Growth Tax Relief Reconciliation Act of 2003. The Fund intends to designate the maximum amount permitted by law.
(3)
“U.S. Government Interest” represent the amount of interest that was derived from direct U.S. Government obligations and distributed during the fiscal year. This amount is reflected as a percentage of ordinary income. Generally, interest from direct U.S. Government obligations is exempt from state income tax. However, for shareholders who are residents of California, Connecticut or New York, the statutory threshold requirements were not satisfied to permit exemption of these amounts from state income.
(4)
“Interest Related Dividends” represent qualifying interest that is exempt from U.S. withholding tax when paid to foreign investors as created by the American Jobs Creation Act of 2004.
(5)
“Short-Term Capital Gain Dividends” represent qualifying short-term capital gain that is exempt from U.S. withholding tax when paid to foreign investors as created by the American Jobs Creation Act of 2004.
(6)
The Fund intends to pass through a foreign tax credit to shareholders. For the fiscal year ended September 30, 2017, the total amount of foreign source income was $19,023,212. The total amount of foreign tax to be paid is $287,625. Your allocable share of foreign tax credit will be reported on Form 1099-DIV.
Items (A), (B), (C), (D), (E) and (K) are based on the percentage of each fund’s total distribution.
Items (F) and (G) are based on the percentage of “Ordinary Income Distributions.”
Item (H) is based on the percentage of gross income of each Fund.
Item (I) is based on the percentage of net investment income distributions.
Item (J) is based on the percentage of short-term capital gain distributions.

disclosure of fund expenses (Unaudited)
   
 
All mutual funds have operating expenses. As a shareholder of a Fund, your investment is affected by these ongoing costs, which include (among others) costs for portfolio management, administrative services, class-specific distribution fees, acquired fund fees and shareholder reports like this one. It is important for you to understand the impact of these costs on your investment returns.
 
Operating expenses such as these are deducted from a Fund’s gross income and directly reduce your final investment return. These expenses are expressed as a percentage of the Fund’s average net assets; this percentage is known as the Fund’s expense ratio.
 
The following examples use the expense ratio and are intended to help you understand the ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in your Fund and to compare these costs with those of other mutual funds. The examples are based on an investment of $1,000 made at the beginning of the period shown and held for the entire period (April 1, 2017 to September 30, 2017).
 
The table below illustrates your Fund’s costs in two ways:
 
Actual Fund Return. This section helps you to estimate the actual expenses that your Fund incurred over the period. The “Expenses Paid During Period” column shows the actual dollar expense cost incurred by a $1,000 investment in each Fund, and the “Ending Account Value” number is derived from deducting that expense cost from each Fund’s gross investment return.
 
You can use this information, together with the actual amount you invested in a Fund, to estimate the expenses you paid over that period. Simply divide your actual account value by $1,000 to arrive at a ratio (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply that ratio by the number shown for your Fund under “Expenses Paid During Period.”
 
Hypothetical 5% Return. This section helps you compare your Fund’s costs with those of other mutual funds. It assumes that each Fund had an annual 5% return before expenses during the year, but that the expense ratio (Column 3) for the period is unchanged. This example is useful in making comparisons because the Securities and Exchange Commission requires all mutual funds to make this 5% calculation. You can assess your Fund’s comparative cost by comparing the hypothetical result for your Fund in the “Expenses Paid During Period” column with those that appear in the same charts in the shareholder reports for other funds.
 
NOTE: Because the return is set at 5% for comparison purposes – NOT your Fund’s actual return – the account values shown do not apply to your specific investment.

board approval of advisory and sub-advisory agreements
(Unaudited)
 
The Board of Trustees of City National Rochdale Funds (the “Trust”) is comprised of six Trustees, five of whom are Independent Trustees (i.e., not “interested persons” of the Trust as defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended). During the six months ended September 30, 2017, the Board and the Independent Trustees approved renewal of the following advisory and sub-advisory agreements:
 
 
The advisory agreement between City National Rochdale, LLC (the “Adviser”) and the Trust, on behalf of the City National Rochdale Government Money Market Fund (“Government Money Market Fund”), City National Rochdale Government Bond Fund (“Government Bond Fund”), City National Rochdale Corporate Bond Fund (“Corporate Bond Fund”), City National Rochdale California Tax Exempt Bond Fund (“California Tax Exempt Bond Fund”), City National Rochdale Municipal High Income Fund (“Municipal High Income Fund”), City National Rochdale High Yield Bond Fund (“High Yield Bond Fund”), City National Rochdale Intermediate Fixed Income Fund (“Intermediate Fixed Income Fund”), City National Rochdale Fixed Income Opportunities Fund (“Fixed Income Opportunities Fund”), City National Rochdale Dividend & Income Fund (“Dividend & Income Fund”), City National Rochdale U.S. Core Equity Fund (“U.S. Core Equity Fund”), and City National Rochdale Emerging Markets Fund (“Emerging Markets Fund”) (each a “Fund” and collectively, the “Funds”);
 
 
The sub-advisory agreement between the Adviser and Guggenheim Partners Investment Management, LLC (“Guggenheim”), with respect to the High Yield Bond Fund;
 
 
The sub-advisory agreement between the Adviser and Seix Investment Advisors LLC (“Seix”), with respect to the Fixed Income Opportunities Fund;
 
 
The sub-advisory agreement between the Adviser and Federated Investment Management Company (“Federated”), with respect to the Fixed Income Opportunities Fund;
 
 
The sub-advisory agreement between the Adviser and GML Capital LLP (“GML”), with respect to the Fixed Income Opportunities Fund;
 
 
The sub-advisory agreement between the Adviser and Alcentra Limited (“Alcentra”), with respect to the Fixed Income Opportunities Fund;
 
 
The sub-advisory agreement between the Adviser and Ashmore Investment Management Limited (“Ashmore”), with respect to the Fixed Income Opportunities Fund;
 
 
The sub-advisory agreement between the Adviser and AllFinancial Partners II, LLC (“AllFinancial”), with respect to the Fixed Income Opportunities Fund;
 
 
The advisory agreement between the Adviser and Rochdale Emerging Markets (Mauritius) (the “Mauritius Subsidiary”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Emerging Markets Fund; and
 
 
The advisory agreement between the Adviser and City National Rochdale Fixed Income Opportunities (Ireland) Limited (the “Irish Subsidiary”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Fixed Income Opportunities Fund.
 
The advisory and sub-advisory agreements listed above are collectively referred to below as the “Agreements.” Guggenheim, Seix, Federated, GML, Alcentra, Ashmore, and AllFinancial are collectively referred to below as the “Sub-Advisers,” and the Mauritius Subsidiary and the Irish Subsidiary are collectively referred to below as the Subsidiaries.”
 
The Board also approved amendments to the sub-advisory agreements with Federated, Ashmore and Seix with respect to the Fixed Income Opportunities Fund, each of which provided for reductions of fees payable by the Adviser to the Sub-Adviser, as applicable. The amendment to the Ashmore sub-advisory agreement also included an expansion of its mandate with respect the Fixed Income Opportunities Fund to include investments in emerging market local currency bonds.
 
General Information
 
The following information summarizes the Board’s considerations associated with its review of the Agreements. In connection with their deliberations, the Board considered such information and factors as they believed, in light of the legal advice furnished to them and their own business judgment, to be relevant. The Agreements were considered separately for each Fund and Subsidiary, although the Board took into account the common interests of the Funds and the Subsidiaries in its review. As described below, the Board considered the nature, quality and extent of the various investment advisory and administrative services performed by the Adviser and each Sub-Adviser. In considering these matters, the Independent Trustees discussed the approval of the Agreements with management and in private sessions with their independent counsel at which no representatives of the Adviser or the Sub-Advisers were present.
 
CITY NATIONAL ROCHDALE FUNDS | PAGE 157

 
board approval of advisory and sub-advisory agreements
(Unaudited) (Continued)
 
The Board reviewed extensive materials regarding investment results of the Adviser and each Sub-Adviser with respect to the Funds (or portions of the Funds) and the Subsidiaries they manage, advisory fee and expense comparisons, financial information with respect to each firm, descriptions of various functions such as compliance monitoring and portfolio trading practices, and information about the personnel providing investment management and administrative services to the Funds and the Subsidiaries. The Board also took into account information they received at past meetings of the Board and its committees with respect to these matters.
 
In deciding to approve the Agreements, the Board and the Independent Trustees did not identify a single factor as controlling and this summary does not describe all of the matters considered. In addition, each Board member did not necessarily attribute the same weight to each matter. However, the Board and the Independent Trustees concluded that each of the various factors referred to below favored such approval.
 
CITY NATIONAL ROCHDALE, LLC
 
Nature, Extent and Quality of Services
 
In reviewing the services provided by the Adviser to the Funds and the Subsidiaries, the Board considered a variety of matters, including the overall quality and depth of the Adviser’s organization, its overall financial strength and stability, its commitment to compliance with applicable laws and regulations and the systems in place to ensure compliance with those requirements, its portfolio trading and soft dollar practices, and its disaster recovery and contingency planning practices. The Board also considered the experience, capability and integrity of the Adviser’s senior management, the background, education and experience of the Adviser’s personnel, and its efforts to retain, attract and motivate capable personnel to serve the Funds and the Subsidiaries. The Board found all of these matters to be satisfactory.
 
The Board assessed the performance of each Fund compared with the returns of its respective benchmark index or indexes and the averages of the funds included in its respective peer group category selected by Lipper, Inc. (each, a “Lipper Universe”), and for the Government Money Market Fund, an iMoneyNet, Inc. index. They reviewed these matters for the one-, three-, five-, ten- and 15-year and since inception periods ended June 30, 2017, as applicable. In addition, the Board reviewed the performance of each Fund compared to the performance of a select group of comparable funds determined by the Adviser to have investment objectives similar to that of the Fund. With respect to the performance results of the Funds, the Trustees noted that the meeting materials indicated as follows:
 
 
The Government Money Market Fund (Servicing Class) underperformed the average returns of the funds in the Lipper Institutional U.S. Government Money Market Objective group (by 0.20% or less), and the iMoneyNet, Inc. Government Institutional group (by 0.22% or less) for the one-, three-, five-, ten- and 15-year and since inception periods.
 
 
The Government Bond Fund (Institutional Class) outperformed the Lipper Short/Intermediate U.S. Government Objective group, but trailed the Bloomberg Barclays U.S. 1-5 Year Government Bond Index (by 0.38% or less), for the three- and five-year periods. The Fund underperformed the Bloomberg Barclays Index (by 0.45% or less), and the Lipper Universe average returns (by 0.39% or less) for the one-, ten- and 15-year and since inception periods. The Board considered the Adviser’s explanation that the Fund’s underperformance compared to its Lipper Universe was primarily due to longer maturity profiles and greater allocations to mortgage-backed securities by the Fund’s peers.
 
 
The Corporate Bond Fund (Servicing Class) outperformed the Lipper Short/Intermediate Investment-Grade Objective group and the Bloomberg Barclays U.S. Corp 1-5 A3+, 2% Issuer Constrained Index for the one-year period, and outperformed the average return of the funds in the Lipper Universe, but underperformed the Barclays Index (by 0.42% or less), for the five-, ten- and 15-year and since inception periods. The Fund underperformed the Bloomberg Barclays Index (by 0.73%) and the Lipper Universe average (by 0.19%) for the three-year period. The Board noted the Adviser’s explanation that the Fund’s near-term outperformance was primarily attributable to the Fund’s conservative duration positioning which, in the previous year, contributed to the then near-term underperformance. The Board also considered several structural differences between the Fund, the benchmark, and Lipper peer group funds.
 
 
The California Tax Exempt Bond Fund (Servicing Class) outperformed the average returns of the funds in the Lipper CA Short/Intermediate Municipal Debt Objective group, but underperformed the Bloomberg Barclays CA Intermediate-Short Municipal Index (by 0.68% or less) for the one-, three-, five-, ten- and 15-year and since inception
 
CITY NATIONAL ROCHDALE FUNDS | PAGE 158

 
   
 
periods. The Board considered the Adviser’s explanation that although the Fund was outperforming its peers, it was underperforming its index primarily due to the size of the Fund and the low interest rate environment.
 
 
The Municipal High Income Fund (Servicing Class) underperformed the average returns of the funds in the Lipper High Yield Municipal Classification group (by 0.98% or less), and the Bloomberg Barclays High Yield Municipal Index (by 2.36% or less) for the one- and three-year and since inception periods. The Board noted that the Adviser was satisfied with the performance of the new portfolio management team, and considered the positive effect of the Fund’s relative overweight in tobacco-related holdings and below investment grade securities during the second half of the year.
 
 
The High Yield Bond Fund (Institutional Class) outperformed the average returns of the funds in the Lipper High Yield Bond Funds Objective group for the one-, three-, five-, ten- and 15-year and since inception periods. The Fund outperformed the Citigroup High-Yield Market Capped Index for the one- and five-year and since inception periods, but underperformed the Citigroup Index (by 0.72% or less) for the three-, ten- and 15-year periods. The Board considered the Adviser’s explanation that much of the Fund’s underperformance as compared to its benchmark was due to the higher credit quality of the Fund’s portfolio securities.
 
 
The Intermediate Fixed Income Fund (Institutional Class) outperformed the Bloomberg Barclays U.S. Intermediate Government/Credit Bond Index and the Lipper Core Bond Funds Classification group for the one-, three- and five-year periods. The Fund underperformed the Lipper Universe averages (by 0.65% or less) and the Bloomberg Barclays Index (by 0.38% or less) for the ten- and 15-year and since inception periods.
 
 
The Fixed Income Opportunities Fund (Class N) outperformed the average returns of the funds in the Lipper High Yield Bond Funds Classification group, the Bloomberg Barclays U.S. Aggregate Bond Index, and the Credit Suisse Leveraged Loan Index, but underperformed the Bloomberg Barclays U.S. Corporate High Yield Index (by 0.45%) for the three-year period. The Fund outperformed the Bloomberg Barclays U.S. Aggregate Bond Index, but underperformed the Credit Suisse Index (by 3.48% or less), the Lipper Universe average return (by 2.25% or less), and the Bloomberg Barclays U.S. Corporate High Yield Index (by 3.48% or less) for the one- and five-year and since inception periods. The Board noted that the Fund is a blended fund with several sleeves managed by the Adviser and different sub-advisers according to various investment mandates, that it was therefore difficult to compare the Fund to a broad-based securities index, and that many of the Fund’s secondary benchmarks were benchmarks applicable only to certain sleeves of the Fund.
 
 
The Dividend & Income Fund (Class N) outperformed the average returns of the funds in the Lipper Equity Income Funds Classification group, but underperformed the S&P 500 Index (by 2.35%) and the Blended Index (a customized index composed of 60% Dow Jones U.S. Select Dividend Index, 25% Bank of America ML Core Fixed Rate Preferred Securities Index and 15% MSCI U.S. REIT Index) (by 2.09%), for the three-year period. The Fund outperformed the Lipper Universe average return and the Blended Index, but underperformed the S&P 500 Index return (by 0.57%), for the ten-year period. For the one-, five- and 15-year periods, the Fund underperformed the Blended Index (by 5.71% or less), the Lipper Universe (by 10.91% or less), and the S&P 500 Index (by 15.6% or less). The Fund outperformed the S&P 500 Index but trailed the Lipper Universe average returns (by 0.41%) and the Blended Index (by 2.77%) for the since inception period. The Board noted the Adviser’s observation that most of the Fund’s underperformance compared to the Blended Index was due to weak performance over the one-year period ending June 30, 2017, and that, as of the prior year, the Fund had performed well. The Board also noted that the Fund had been ranked in the five-star category by Morningstar, Inc. for the ten-year period as of June 30, 2017, and is a four-star fund in the Large Value Category overall.
 
 
The U.S. Core Equity Fund (Institutional Class) outperformed the average returns of the funds in the Lipper Large Cap Core Funds Classification group and the S&P 500 Index, but underperformed the Lipper Large Cap Growth Funds Classification group (by 1.57%), for the one-year period. The Fund outperformed the Lipper Large Cap Core Universe, but underperformed the S&P 500 Index (by 0.84% or less) and the Lipper Large Cap Growth Universe (by 0.85% or less) for the three-year and since inception periods.
 
 
The Emerging Markets Fund (Class N) outperformed the MSCI Emerging Markets Index, the average returns of the funds in the Lipper Emerging Markets Funds Classification group and the MSCI Emerging Markets Asia Index for

the three- and five-year and since inception periods. For the one-year period, the Fund outperformed the Lipper Universe but slightly underperformed the MSCI Emerging Markets Index (by 0.22%), and underperformed the MSCI Emerging Markets Asia Index (by 4.33%).
 
The Board concluded that the Adviser continues to provide high quality management and oversight services to the Funds, the Mauritius Subsidiary, and the Irish Subsidiary. The Board noted that the investment results of the Funds over the long term were generally competitive; that the Adviser had given reasonable explanations for the performance of those Funds that had underperformed relative to their benchmarks; that the results for the Government Money Market Fund compared to its peer group were acceptable given the special services and investment focuses of the Fund and the unusual market conditions applicable to the money market fund industry in recent years; and that consideration of returns of market indexes needed to take into account that indexes do not reflect the expenses of operating mutual funds.
 
Advisory Fees and Fund Expenses
 
The Board then reviewed information regarding the advisory fees (both before and after waivers) charged by the Adviser to each Fund, and the total expenses (net of fee waivers) for the last fiscal year of the Institutional Class, Servicing Class, and Class N shares of each Fund (as percentages of their respective average annual net assets), as applicable (“Total Expense Ratios”), compared to those of the funds included in its respective Lipper Universe and peer group identified by the Adviser (each, a “Peer Group”), as applicable.
 
The Board observed that the meeting materials indicated as follows with respect to the Funds’ investment advisory fees (net of fee waivers):
 
 
The net advisory fees paid by the Government Money Market Fund, Municipal High Income Fund, High Yield Bond Fund, Intermediate Fixed Income Fund, and Emerging Markets Fund were above their Lipper Universe averages and Peer Group averages.
 
 
The net advisory fees paid by the Government Bond Fund, Corporate Bond Fund, California Tax Exempt Bond Fund, Dividend & Income Fund, and U.S. Core Equity Fund were below their Peer Group and Lipper Universe averages.
 
 
The net advisory fee paid by the Fixed Income Opportunities Fund was below its Peer Group average but above its Lipper Universe average.
 
The Board noted that the Adviser does not manage investment portfolios for other registered investment companies, pension funds, or institutional accounts that have similar investment objectives and policies as the Funds, so it did not have a basis to compare the Funds’ advisory fees with advisory fees charged by the Adviser to other such clients.
 
The Board observed that the meeting materials indicated as follows with respect to the Total Expense Ratios of each Fund (net of fee waivers):
 
 
The Total Expense Ratios of the Institutional Class of the California Tax-Exempt Bond Fund, Corporate Bond Fund, Government Bond Fund, Municipal High Income Fund, Fixed Income Opportunities Fund, and Emerging Markets Fund; the Class N, Servicing Class and Institutional Class of the U.S. Core Equity Fund; and the Class N and Institutional Class of the Dividend & Income Fund were below both their respective Peer Group and Lipper Universe averages.
 
 
The Total Expense Ratios of the Servicing Class of the Government Bond Fund, California Tax Exempt Bond Fund, Emerging Markets Fund, and Municipal High Income Fund; and the Institutional Class of the Government Money Market Fund, High Yield Bond Fund, and Intermediate Fixed Income Fund were below their respective Lipper Universe averages but above their respective Peer Group averages.
 
 
The Total Expense Ratio of the Servicing Class of the Corporate Bond Fund was below its Peer Group average but above its Lipper Universe average.
 
 
The Total Expense Ratios of the Servicing Class of the Government Money Market Fund and High Yield Bond Fund; and the Class N of the Government Money Market Fund, Government Bond Fund, Corporate Bond Fund, California Tax Exempt Bond Fund, Municipal High Income Fund, High Yield Bond Fund, Intermediate Fixed Income Fund, Fixed Income Opportunities Fund, and Emerging Markets Fund were above their respective Peer Group and Lipper Universe averages. However, the Total Expense Ratios for the Government Bond Fund (Institutional Class), Corporate Bond Fund (Servicing Class), California Tax Exempt Bond Fund (Servicing Class), Municipal High Income Fund (Servicing Class), High Yield Bond Fund (Institutional Class), Intermediate Fixed Income Fund (Institutional Class), Fixed Income Opportunities Fund (Class N), and Emerging Markets Fund (Class N) were in the middle 60% of funds in their Lipper Universes.
 
CITY NATIONAL ROCHDALE FUNDS | PAGE 160

 
   
 
The Board concluded that the advisory fees charged by the Adviser were fair and reasonable in relation to the value of services provided, and the total expenses of each Fund continued to be reasonable in light of the services provided, noting the different expense structure and arrangements for shareholder services and distribution of the various classes of the Funds. The Board noted that the Government Money Market Fund offered unique features which created substantial demands on the Adviser’s portfolio management staff. The Board also noted that the Adviser was recouping previously waived advisory fees from the Government Money Market Fund and that its affiliates had begun to collect shareholder servicing fees again after years of waiving those fees in order to maintain yields at certain levels.
 
Profitability, Benefits to the Adviser and Economies of Scale
 
The Board next considered information prepared by the Adviser relating to its costs and profits, as well as the benefits received by the Adviser and its affiliates as a result of its relationship with the Funds (other than the investment advisory fees paid to the Adviser), including fees paid to City National Bank (“CNB”), City National Securities, Inc., the Adviser, and RIM Securities, LLC for providing certain shareholder servicing, distribution and sub-distribution services to the Trust, benefits to CNB’s brokerage and wealth management business as a result of the availability of the Funds to its customers, and any research received from broker-dealers that execute transactions on behalf of the Funds. The Board determined that the profitability to the Adviser of its relationship with the Funds was reasonable. The Board also concluded that although there were no advisory fee breakpoints, significant economies of scale were not available until the asset levels of the Funds were materially higher than their current levels.
 
Conclusion
 
The Board and the Independent Trustees concluded that, based on the various factors they had reviewed, the compensation payable to the Adviser under the advisory agreements was fair and reasonable in light of the nature and quality of the services it provides to the Funds, the Mauritius Subsidiary, and the Irish Subsidiary, and that renewal of the advisory agreements would be in the best interests of each Fund, the Mauritius Subsidiary, and the Irish Subsidiary and their respective shareholders.
 
SUB-ADVISERS
 
Nature, Extent and Quality of Services
 
In reviewing the services provided by each Sub-Adviser, the Board considered a variety of matters, including the overall quality and depth of each Sub-Adviser’s organization and each Sub-Adviser’s overall financial strength and stability. The Board also considered, among other things, the investment operations and staff of each Sub-Adviser, its commitment to compliance with applicable laws and regulations and the Trust’s compliance policies and procedures, its portfolio trading and soft dollar practices and its disaster recovery and contingency planning practices. In addition, the Board considered the background, education and experience of each Sub-Adviser’s key portfolio management and operational personnel, and each Sub-Adviser’s efforts to retain, attract and motivate capable personnel to serve the relevant Fund. The Board found all of these matters to be satisfactory.
 
Investment Performance
 
The Board reviewed information provided in the meeting materials setting forth the performance of the portion of the Fixed Income Opportunities Fund managed by each of its Sub-Advisers compared with applicable benchmarks for various periods ended June 30, 2017. The Board noted that since Guggenheim sub-advises the entire High Yield Bond Fund, the performance of Guggenheim had already been reviewed as a part of the review of the performance of the High Yield Bond Fund generally. The Board made the following additional observations in reviewing the performance of the following Sub-Advisers of the Fixed Income Opportunities Fund:
 
 
The annualized returns for the portion of the Fund managed by Federated were above the returns of the Bloomberg Barclays U.S. Corporate High Yield Index for the three- and five-year periods, but below the return of the Barclays Index (by 0.57%) for the one-year period.
 
 
The annualized returns for the portion of the Fund managed by Seix were above the return of the Credit Suisse Institutional Leveraged Loan Index for the three-year period, but below the return of the Credit Suisse Index (by 0.80% or less) for the one- and five-year periods.
 
 
The annualized returns for the portion of the Fund managed by Alcentra were below the returns of the Credit Suisse Institutional Western Europe Leveraged Loan Index (by 0.76% or less) for the one- and three-year periods.
 
 
The annualized returns for the portion of the Fund managed by GML were above the returns of the JP Morgan CEMBI Broad High Yield Index for the one-year period, but slightly below the JP Morgan Index (by 0.21% or less) for the three- and five-year periods.
 
CITY NATIONAL ROCHDALE FUNDS | PAGE 161

(Unaudited) (Continued)
 
 
The annualized returns for the portion of the Fund managed by Ashmore were above the returns of the JP Morgan CEMBI Broad High Yield Index for the one-year period, but below the JP Morgan Index (by 0.58%) for the three-year period.
 
The Board noted that, while not all of the Sub-Advisers outperformed their respective benchmarks for the periods under evaluation, the Adviser had reviewed their performance relative to current market conditions, with an understanding of each Sub-Adviser’s style and philosophy, and was satisfied with the performance of each Sub-Adviser.
 
The Board considered the investment results of the Funds to be generally competitive, and determined that each of Guggenheim, Seix, Federated, GML, Alcentra, Ashmore and AllFinancial continued to provide high quality sub-advisory services to the applicable Funds.
 
Sub-Advisory Fees and Fund Expenses
 
The Board reviewed information included in the meeting materials regarding the sub-advisory fees charged by each Sub-Adviser, and observed that the fees were generally low compared to the fees charged by the Sub-Advisers to their other institutional clients and noted that although certain Sub-Advisers charged lower fees to other mutual funds advised by the Sub-Advisers, those funds were significantly larger than the relevant Fund. The Trustees noted that the Adviser pays all sub-advisory fees out of its advisory fee. The Board considered that Ashmore, Seix and Federated had recently agreed to lower their fee rates, and that the Adviser had indicated that any net fee retained by the Adviser in connection with the decreased sub-advisory fees would be rebated to Fund shareholders investing in the Fixed Income Opportunities Fund through the Adviser’s managed accounts.
 
Benefits to Sub-Advisers and Economies of Scale
 
The Board also evaluated the financial information prepared by each Sub-Adviser. The Board considered that none of the Sub-Advisers or their affiliates receive benefits (other than the sub-advisory fees) as a result of their relationship with the Funds, except the intangible benefits of their association with the Funds generally, any favorable publicity arising in connection with the Funds’ performance, and any research received from broker-dealers that execute transactions on behalf of the Funds. The Board also considered that the asset levels of most of the Funds were relatively small and were currently not likely to lead to significant economies of scale.
 
Conclusion
 
Based on their review, including their consideration of each of the factors referred to above, the Board and the Independent Trustees concluded that the compensation payable to each Sub-Adviser pursuant to its respective sub-advisory agreement was fair and reasonable in light of the nature and quality of the services being provided by each Sub-Adviser to the respective Fund and its shareholders, and it would be in the best interests of each of the Funds and their respective shareholders to renew the sub-advisory agreements with each of Guggenheim, Seix, Federated, GML, Alcentra, Ashmore and AllFinancial.
 
AMENDMENTS TO SUB-ADVISORY AGREEMENTS
 
In connection with the proposed amendments to the Federated, Ashmore and Seix sub-advisory agreements, each of which provided for reduction of the applicable sub-advisory fee, the Board reviewed the performance of the relevant Sub-Adviser’s current portfolio. The Board noted the Adviser’s representation that there would be no change to the quality or quantity of services provided to the Fund by the Adviser or the relevant Sub-Adviser in connection with the proposed amendments to the sub-advisory agreements, and that any net fee retained by the Adviser in connection with the decreased sub-advisory fees would be rebated to Fund shareholders investing in the Fund through separately managed accounts.
 
With respect to the proposed amendment to the Ashmore sub-advisory agreement, which would also expand Ashmore’s mandate to include investments in emerging market local currency bonds, the Board considered information regarding Ashmore’s management of such investments, including performance of a Luxembourg registered fund managed by Ashmore using the same strategies it would use to manage the new emerging market local currency bond portion of the Fund. The Board observed that the Luxembourg fund outperformed its benchmark, the JP Morgan GBI-EM GD Index, for recent one-, three- and five-year and since inception periods.
 
Conclusion
 
Based on their review, including their consideration of each of the factors referred to above, the Board and the Independent Trustees concluded that the compensation payable to each Sub-Adviser pursuant to the amendment to its respective sub-advisory agreement was fair and reasonable and in the best interest of the Fixed Income Opportunities Fund and its shareholders to approve the amendments to the sub-advisory agreement with each of Federated, Seix and Ashmore.
