Strategy. The Fund seeks to achieve its investment objectives by allocating its assets using two principal strategies: Commodities Strategy Fixed Income Strategy The Commodities strategy is designed to produce capital appreciation by capturing returns related to the commodities markets by investing primarily in securities of one or more (1) limited partnerships, (2) corporations, (3) limited liability companies and (4) other types of pooled investment vehicles, including commodity pools (collectively, Underlying Funds) and derivative instruments, such as swap contracts, structured notes or other securities or derivatives, that provide exposure to the managers of Underlying Funds.

Each Underlying Fund invests according to its managers sub-strategy, long or short in one or a combination of: (i) futures, (ii) forwards, (iii) options, (iv) spot contracts, or (v) swaps, each of which may be tied to (a) energy resources, (b) metals or (c) agricultural products. These derivative instruments are used as substitutes for commodities and for hedging. The Fund may also invest in cash-settled Bitcoin and/or Ether futures contracts traded on the Chicago Mercantile Exchange ("CME"). The Fund will allocate less than 5% of Fund assets in these digital asset futures (also referred to as crypto futures). To the extent the Fund uses swaps or structured notes under the Commodities strategy, the investments will generally have payments linked to commodity or financial derivatives that are designed to produce returns similar to those of the Underlying Funds and their respective sub-strategies. The Fund does not invest more than 25% of its assets in contracts with any one counterparty. Commodities sub-strategies may include investment styles that rely upon buy and sell signals generated from technical analysis systems such as trend-pattern recognition, as well as from fundamental economic analysis and relative value comparisons. Commodities strategy investments are made without restriction as to the Underlying Funds country. The Fund executes its Commodities strategy primarily by investing up to 25% of its total assets (measured at the time of purchase) in a wholly-owned and controlled subsidiary (the Subsidiary). The Subsidiary invests the majority of its assets in one or more Underlying Funds, swap contracts, structured notes and other investments intended to serve as margin or collateral for derivative positions. The Subsidiary is subject to the same investment restrictions as the Fund. To the extent the Adviser is utilizing derivatives to gain exposure to managers, it is anticipated that the Fund uses a total return swap (the "Swap"), a type of derivative instrument based on a customized index (the "Index") designed to replicate the aggregate returns of the managers selected by the Adviser. The Swap is based on a notional amount agreed upon by the Adviser and the counterparty. The Adviser may add or remove managers from the Swap or adjust the notional exposure between the managers within the Swap. Generally, the fees and expenses of the Swap are based on the notional value. The Index is calculated by the counterparty to the Swap and includes a deduction for fees of the counterparty as well as management and performance fees of the managers. Because the Index is designed to replicate the returns of managers selected by the Adviser, the performance of the Fund will depend on the ability of the managers to generate returns in excess of the costs of the Index. The Adviser anticipates that, based upon its analysis of long-term historical returns and volatility of various asset classes, the Fund will allocate approximately 25% of its assets to the Commodities strategy and approximately 75% of its assets to the Fixed Income strategy. However, as market conditions change the portion allocated may be higher or lower. The Fixed Income strategy is designed to generate interest income and preserve principal by investing primarily in investment grade securities including: (1) obligations issued or guaranteed by the United States Government, its agencies or instrumentalities, (2) securities issued or guaranteed by foreign governments, their political subdivisions or agencies or instrumentalities, (3) bonds, notes, or similar debt obligations issued by U.S. or foreign corporations or special-purpose entities backed by corporate debt obligations, (4) U.S. asset-backed securities (ABS), (5) U.S. residential mortgage-backed securities (MBS), (6) U.S. commercial mortgage-backed securities (CMBS), (7) interest rate-related futures contracts, (8) interest rate-related or credit default-related swap contracts and (9) money market funds. The Fund defines investment grade fixed income securities as those that are rated, at the time purchased, in the top four categories by a rating agency such as Moodys Investors Service, Inc. (Moodys) or Standard & Poors Ratings Services (S&P), or, if unrated, determined to be of comparable quality. However, the fixed income portion of the Funds portfolio will be invested without restriction as to individual issuer country, type of entity, or capitalization. Futures and swap contracts are used for hedging purposes and as substitutes for fixed income securities. The Funds Adviser delegates management of the Funds Fixed Income strategy portfolio to a sub-adviser. The Fund seeks to achieve its secondary investment objective primarily by (1) diversifying the Commodities strategy investments among sub-strategies that are not expected to have returns that are highly correlated to each other or the commodities markets and (2) by selecting Fixed Income strategy investments that are short-term to medium-term interest income-generating securities (those with maturities or average lives of less than 10 years) that are expected to be less volatile than the commodities markets in general and that are not expected to have returns that are highly correlated to the commodities markets or the Commodities strategy. The Adviser, on behalf of itself and on behalf of the Fund and other Funds it advises or may advise in the future that are each a series of LoCorr Investment Trust, was granted an exemptive order from the U.S. Securities Exchange Commission (the "SEC") that permits the Adviser, with Board of Trustees approval, to enter into or amend sub-advisory agreements with sub-advisers without obtaining shareholder approval. Shareholders will be notified within 90 days of the engagement of an additional sub-adviser or sub-advisers to manage a portion of the Fund's portfolio. ADVISERS INVESTMENT PROCESS The Adviser will pursue the Funds investment objectives, in part, by utilizing its investment and risk management process. Underlying Fund selection by the Adviser, or including an Underlying Fund in a derivative investment designed to replicate the returns of an Underlying Fund, represents the result of quantitative and qualitative reviews that identify Underlying Funds and their managers chosen for their alternative investment market niche (investments other than stocks and bonds), historical performance, management accessibility, commitment, investment strategy, as well as process and methodology. Using this selection process, the Adviser believes it can identify Underlying Funds with above-average expected returns and lower-than-average volatility. Risk Management represents the ongoing attention to the historical return performance of each Underlying Fund as well as the interaction or correlation of returns between Underlying Funds. Using this risk management process, the adviser believes the Fund, over time, will not be highly correlated to the commodities markets and will provide the potential for reducing volatility in investors portfolios. The Adviser buys securities that it believes offer above-average expected returns and lower-than-average volatility and sells them when it believes they have reached their target price, to adjust asset allocation or when more attractive investments are available. SUB-ADVISERS INVESTMENT PROCESS Nuveen Asset Management, LLC (Nuveen) serves as the Funds sub-adviser for its Fixed Income Strategy. The sub-adviser selects securities using a bottom-up approach that begins with fundamental analysis. The portfolio construction process emphasizes income generation with risk control by focusing on broad diversification across issuer and sector. The sub-adviser is typically strategically over-weighted in non-Treasury sectors. Portfolios are diversified among agency, corporate bonds, mortgage-backed, commercial mortgage-backed, asset-backed, supranational, sovereign, and municipal securities. The sub-adviser may select futures and swaps to hedge interest rate and credit risks and as substitutes for securities when it believes derivatives provide a better return profile or when specific securities are temporarily unavailable. The sub-adviser may sell securities and derivatives to adjust interest rate risk, adjust credit risk, when a price target is reached, or when a securitys or derivatives price outlook is deteriorating.
