Investment Objective
The investment objective of the Diamond Hill Small Cap Fund is to provide long-term capital appreciation.
Fees and Expenses of the Fund
This table describes the fees and expenses that you may pay if you buy and hold shares of the fund. You may pay other fees, such as brokerage commissions and other fees to financial intermediaries, which are not reflected in the tables and examples below.

EXPENSE EXAMPLE
This Example is intended to help you compare the cost of investing in the fund with the cost of investing in other mutual funds. The Example assumes that you invest $10,000 in the fund for the time periods indicated and then redeem all of your shares at the end of those periods. The Example also assumes that your investment has a 5% return each year and that the fund’s operating expenses remain the same. Although your actual costs may be higher or lower, based on these assumptions your costs would be:

Class I 99  309  536  1,190 
Class Y 87  271  471  1,049 

PORTFOLIO TURNOVER
The fund pays transaction costs, such as commissions, when it buys and sells securities (or “turns over” its portfolio). A higher portfolio turnover rate may indicate higher transaction costs and may result in higher taxes when fund shares are held in a taxable account. These costs, which are not reflected in annual fund operating expenses or in the Example, affect the fund’s performance. During the most recent fiscal year, the fund’s portfolio turnover rate was 37% of the average value of its portfolio.





Principal Investment Strategy
The fund, under normal market conditions, invests at least 80% of its net assets in U.S. equity securities with small market capitalizations that Diamond Hill Capital Management, Inc. (the "Adviser”) believes are undervalued. Equity securities consist of common and preferred stocks. Small cap companies are defined as companies with market capitalizations at the time of purchase below $3 billion or in the range of those market capitalizations of companies included in the Russell 2000 Index at the time of purchase. The capitalization range of the Russell 2000 Index is between $6.8 million and $7.8 billion as of January 31, 2023. The size of the companies included in the Russell 2000 Index will change with market conditions.
The Adviser focuses on estimating a company’s value independent of its current stock price. To estimate a company’s value, the Adviser concentrates on the fundamental economic drivers of the business. The primary focus is on “bottom-up” analysis, which takes into consideration earnings, revenue growth, operating margins and other economic factors. The Adviser also considers the level of industry competition, regulatory factors, the threat of technological obsolescence, and a variety of other industry factors. If the Adviser’s estimate of a company’s value differs sufficiently from the current market price, the company may be an attractive investment opportunity. In constructing a portfolio of securities, the Adviser is not constrained by the sector or industry weights in the benchmark. The Adviser relies on individual stock selection and discipline in the investment process to add value. The highest portfolio security weights are assigned to companies where the Adviser has the highest level of conviction.
Once a stock is selected, the Adviser continues to monitor the company’s strategies, financial performance and competitive environment. The Adviser may sell a security as it reaches the Adviser’s estimate of the company’s value if it believes that the company’s earnings, revenue growth, operating margin or other economic factors are deteriorating or if it identifies a stock that it believes offers a better investment opportunity.
Main Risks
All investments carry a certain amount of risk and the fund cannot guarantee that it will achieve its investment objective. An investment in the fund is not a deposit or obligation of any bank, is not endorsed or guaranteed by any bank, and is not insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) or any other government agency. You may lose money by investing in the fund. Below are the main risks of investing in the fund. All of the risks listed below are significant to the fund, regardless of the order in which they appear.
Management Risk  The Adviser’s judgments about the attractiveness, value and potential appreciation of a particular asset class or individual security in which the fund invests may prove to be incorrect and there is no guarantee that individual companies will perform as anticipated. The value of an individual company can be more volatile than the market as a whole, and the Adviser’s intrinsic value-oriented approach may fail to produce the intended results.

Diamond Hill Small Cap Fund Summary As of February 28, 2023
Market Risk The value of the fund's investments may decrease, sometimes rapidly or unexpectedly, due to factors affecting an issuer held by the fund, particular industries or overall securities markets. When the value of the fund’s investments goes down, your investment in the fund decreases in value. A variety of factors including interest rate levels, recessions, inflation, U.S. economic growth, war or acts of terrorism, natural disasters, political events, supply chain disruptions, staff shortages and widespread public health issues affect the securities markets. These events may cause volatility, severe market dislocations and liquidity constraints in many markets, including markets for the securities the fund holds, and may adversely affect the fund's investments and operations. In addition, governmental responses to these events may negatively impact the capabilities of the fund's service providers, disrupt the fund's operations, result in substantial market volatility and adversely impact the prices and liquidity of the fund's investments.
Small Cap Company Risk  Investments in small cap companies may be riskier than investments in larger, more established companies. The securities of smaller companies may trade less frequently and in smaller volumes than securities of larger companies. In addition, smaller companies may be more vulnerable to economic, market and industry changes. As a result, share price changes may be more sudden or erratic than the prices of other equity securities, especially over the short term. Because smaller companies may have limited product lines, markets or financial resources or may depend on a few key employees, they may be more susceptible to particular economic events or competitive factors than large capitalization companies.
Performance
The following bar chart and table show two aspects of the fund: volatility and performance. The bar chart shows the volatility — or variability — of the fund’s annual total returns over time, and shows that fund performance can change from year to year. The table shows the fund’s average annual total returns for certain time periods compared to the returns of a broad-based securities index. The bar chart and table provide some indication of the risks of investing in the fund. Of course, the fund’s past performance is not necessarily an indication of its future performance. Updated performance information is available at no cost by visiting www.diamond-hill.com or by calling 888-226-5595.

Investment Objective
The investment objective of the Diamond Hill Large Cap Fund is to provide long-term capital appreciation.
Fees and Expenses of the Fund
This table describes the fees and expenses that you may pay if you buy and hold shares of the fund. You may pay other fees, such as brokerage commissions and other fees to financial intermediaries, which are not reflected in the tables and examples below.

EXPENSE EXAMPLE
This Example is intended to help you compare the cost of investing in the fund with the cost of investing in other mutual funds. The Example assumes that you invest $10,000 in the fund for the time periods indicated and then redeem all of your shares at the end of those periods. The Example also assumes that your investment has a 5% return each year and that the fund’s operating expenses remain the same. Although your actual costs may be higher or lower, based on these assumptions your costs would be:

PORTFOLIO TURNOVER
The fund pays transaction costs, such as commissions, when it buys and sells securities (or “turns over” its portfolio). A higher portfolio turnover rate may indicate higher transaction costs and may result in higher taxes when fund shares are held in a taxable account. These costs, which are not reflected in annual fund operating expenses or in the Example, affect the fund’s performance. During the most recent fiscal year, the fund’s portfolio turnover rate was 38% of the average value of its portfolio.
Principal Investment Strategy
The fund, under normal market conditions, invests at least 80% of its net assets in U.S. equity securities with large market capitalizations ("large cap") that Diamond Hill Capital Management, Inc. (the "Adviser”) believes are undervalued. Equity securities consist of common and preferred stocks. Large cap companies are defined as companies with market capitalizations at the time of purchase of $5 billion or greater, or in the range of those market capitalizations of companies included in the Russell 1000 Index at the time of purchase. The capitalization range of the Russell 1000 Index is between $450.1 million and $2,285.0 billion as of January 31, 2023. The size of the companies included in the Russell 1000 Index will change with market conditions.
The Adviser focuses on estimating a company’s value independent of its current stock price. To estimate a company’s value, the Adviser concentrates on the fundamental economic drivers of the business. The primary focus is on “bottom-up” analysis, which takes into consideration earnings, revenue growth, operating margins and other economic factors. The Adviser also considers the level of industry competition, regulatory factors, the threat of technological obsolescence, and a variety of other industry factors. If the Adviser’s estimate of a company’s value differs sufficiently from the current market price, the company may be an attractive investment opportunity. In constructing a portfolio of securities, the Adviser is not constrained by the sector or industry weights in the benchmark. The Adviser relies on individual stock selection and discipline in the investment process to add value. The highest portfolio security weights are assigned to companies where the Adviser has the highest level of conviction.
Once a stock is selected, the Adviser continues to monitor the company’s strategies, financial performance and competitive environment. The Adviser may sell a security as it reaches the Adviser’s estimate of the company’s value if it believes that the company’s earnings, revenue growth, operating margin or other economic factors are deteriorating or if it identifies a stock that it believes offers a better investment opportunity.
Main Risks
All investments carry a certain amount of risk and the fund cannot guarantee that it will achieve its investment objective. An investment in the fund is not a deposit or obligation of any bank, is not endorsed or guaranteed by any bank, and is not

insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) or any other government agency. You may lose money by investing in the fund. Below are the main risks of investing in the fund. All of the risks listed below are significant to the fund, regardless of the order in which they appear.
Management Risk  The Adviser’s judgments about the attractiveness, value and potential appreciation of a particular asset class or individual security in which the fund invests may prove to be incorrect and there is no guarantee that individual companies will perform as anticipated. The value of an individual company can be more volatile than the market as a whole, and the Adviser’s intrinsic value-oriented approach may fail to produce the intended results.
Market Risk  The value of the fund's investments may decrease, sometimes rapidly or unexpectedly, due to factors affecting an issuer held by the fund, particular industries or overall securities markets. When the value of the fund’s investments goes down, your investment in the fund decreases in value. A variety of factors including interest rate levels, recessions, inflation, U.S. economic growth, war or acts of terrorism, natural disasters, political events, supply chain disruptions, staff shortages and widespread public health issues affect the securities markets. These events may cause volatility, severe market dislocations and liquidity constraints in many markets, including markets for the securities the fund holds, and may adversely affect the fund's investments and operations. In addition, governmental responses to these events may negatively impact the capabilities of the fund's service providers, disrupt the fund's operations, result in substantial market volatility and adversely impact the prices and liquidity of the fund's investments.
Performance
The following bar chart and table show two aspects of the fund: volatility and performance. The bar chart shows the volatility — or variability — of the fund’s annual total returns over time, and shows that fund performance can change from year to year. The table shows the fund’s average annual total returns for certain time periods compared to the returns of a broad-based securities index. The bar chart and table provide some indication of the risks of investing in the fund. Of course, the fund’s past performance is not necessarily an indication of its future performance.

Diamond Hill Large Cap Concentrated Fund Summary As of February 28, 2023

Focused Portfolio Risk The fund may have more volatility and is considered to have more risk than a fund that invests in securities of a greater number of issuers because changes in the value of a single issuer's security may have a more significant effect, either positive or negative, on the fund's net asset value.
Management Risk  The Adviser’s judgments about the attractiveness, value and potential appreciation of a particular asset class or individual security in which the fund invests may prove to be incorrect and there is no guarantee that individual companies will perform as anticipated.

In addition, governmental responses to these events may negatively impact the capabilities of the fund's service providers, disrupt the fund's operations, result in substantial market volatility and adversely impact the prices and liquidity of the fund's investments.
Sector Emphasis Risk The fund, from time to time, may invest 25% or more of its assets in one or more sectors, subjecting the fund to sector emphasis risk. This is the risk that the fund is subject to a greater risk of loss as a result of adverse economic, business or other developments affecting a specific sector in which the fund has a focused position, than if its investments were diversified across a greater number of industry sectors. Some sectors possess particular risks that may not affect other sectors.

securities of a greater number of issuers because changes in the value of a single issuer's security may have a more significant effect, either positive or negative, on the fund's net asset value.
Management Risk  The Adviser’s judgments about the attractiveness, value and potential appreciation of a particular asset class or individual security in which the fund invests may prove to be incorrect and there is no guarantee that individual companies will perform as anticipated.

Some sectors possess particular risks that may not affect other sectors.
Small Cap and Mid Cap Company Risk  Investments in small cap and mid cap companies may be riskier than investments in larger, more established companies. The securities of these companies may trade less frequently and in smaller volumes than securities of larger companies. In addition, small cap and mid cap companies may be more vulnerable to economic, market and industry changes. As a result, share price changes may be more sudden or erratic than the prices of other equity securities, especially over the short term. Because smaller companies may have limited product lines, markets or financial resources or may depend on a few key employees, they may be more susceptible to particular economic events or competitive factors than large capitalization companies.
Performance
The following bar chart and table show two aspects of the fund: volatility and performance. The bar chart shows the volatility — or variability — of the fund’s annual total returns over time, and shows that fund performance can change from year to year. The table shows the fund’s average annual total returns for certain time periods compared to the returns of a broad-based securities index. The bar chart and table provide some indication of the risks of investing in the fund. Of course, the fund’s past performance is not necessarily an indication of its future performance.

EXPENSE EXAMPLE
This Example is intended to help you compare the cost of investing in the fund with the cost of investing in other mutual funds. The Example assumes that you invest $10,000 in the fund for the time periods indicated and then redeem all of your shares at the end of those periods. The Example also assumes that your investment has a 5% return each year and that the fund’s operating expenses remain the same. Although your actual costs may be higher or lower, based on these assumptions your costs would be:

PORTFOLIO TURNOVER
The fund pays transaction costs, such as commissions, when it buys and sells securities (or “turns over” its portfolio). A higher portfolio turnover rate may indicate higher transaction costs and may result in higher taxes when fund shares are held in a taxable account. These costs, which are not reflected in annual fund operating expenses or in the Example, affect the fund’s performance. During the most recent fiscal year, the fund’s portfolio turnover rate was 61% of the average value of its portfolio.
Principal Investment Strategy
The fund, under normal market conditions, invests its assets in U.S. equity securities of any size capitalization that Diamond Hill Capital Management, Inc. (the "Adviser”) believes are undervalued and selling short U.S. equity securities of any size capitalization the Adviser believes are overvalued. Equity securities consist of common and preferred stocks.
The Adviser focuses on estimating a company’s value independent of its current stock price. To estimate a company’s value, the Adviser concentrates on the fundamental economic drivers of the business. The primary focus is on “bottom-up” analysis, which takes into consideration earnings, revenue growth, operating margins and other economic factors. The Adviser also considers the level of industry competition, regulatory factors, the threat of technological obsolescence, and a variety of other industry factors. If the Adviser’s estimate of a company’s value differs sufficiently from the current market price, the company may be an attractive investment opportunity. In constructing a portfolio of securities, the Adviser is not constrained by the sector or industry weights in the benchmark. The Adviser relies on individual stock selection and discipline in the investment process to add value. The highest portfolio security weights are assigned to companies where the Adviser has the highest level of conviction.
The fund also will sell securities short. Short sales are effected when it is believed that the price of a particular security will decline, and involves the sale of a security which the fund does not own in hopes of purchasing the same security at a later date at a lower price. To make delivery to the buyer, the fund must borrow the security, and the fund is obligated to return the security to the lender, which is accomplished by a later purchase of the security by the fund. The frequency of short sales will vary substantially in different periods, and it is not intended that any specified portion of the fund’s assets will as a matter of practice be invested in short sales. The fund will not make a short sale if, immediately before the transaction, the market value of all securities sold short exceeds 40% of the value of the fund’s net assets.
Once a stock is purchased or sold short, the Adviser continues to monitor the company’s strategies, financial performance and competitive environment. The Adviser may sell a security (or repurchase a security sold short) as it reaches the Adviser’s estimate of the company’s value if it believes that the company’s earnings, revenue growth, operating margin or other economic factors are deteriorating (or improving in the case of a short

sale); or, if it identifies a stock that it believes offers a better investment opportunity.
Main Risks
All investments carry a certain amount of risk and the fund cannot guarantee that it will achieve its investment objective. An investment in the fund is not a deposit or obligation of any bank, is not endorsed or guaranteed by any bank, and is not insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) or any other government agency. You may lose money by investing in the fund. Below are the main risks of investing in the fund. All of the risks listed below are significant to the fund, regardless of the order in which they appear.
Management Risk  The Adviser’s judgments about the attractiveness, value and potential appreciation of a particular asset class or individual security in which the fund invests may prove to be incorrect and there is no guarantee that individual companies will perform as anticipated. The value of an individual company can be more volatile than the market as a whole, and the Adviser’s intrinsic value-oriented approach may fail to produce the intended results. In addition, there is no guarantee that the use of long and short positions will succeed in limiting the fund’s exposure to stock market movements, sector-swings or other risk factors. The strategy used by the fund involves complex securities transactions that involve risks different than direct equity investments.
Market Risk  The value of the fund's investments may decrease, sometimes rapidly or unexpectedly, due to factors affecting an issuer held by the fund, particular industries or overall securities markets. When the value of the fund’s investments goes down, your investment in the fund decreases in value. A variety of factors including interest rate levels, recessions, inflation, U.S. economic growth, war or acts of terrorism, natural disasters, political events, supply chain disruptions, staff shortages and widespread public health issues affect the securities markets. These events may cause volatility, severe market dislocations and liquidity constraints in many markets, including markets for the securities the fund holds, and may adversely affect the fund's investments and operations. In addition, governmental responses to these events may negatively impact the capabilities of the fund's service providers, disrupt the fund's operations, result in substantial market volatility and adversely impact the prices and liquidity of the fund's investments.
Short Sale Risk  The fund will incur a loss as a result of a short sale if the price of the security sold short increases in value between the date of the short sale and the date on which the fund purchases the security to replace the borrowed security. In addition, a lender may request, or market conditions may dictate, that securities sold short be returned to the lender on short notice, and the fund may have to buy the securities sold short at an unfavorable price. If this occurs, any anticipated gain to the fund may be reduced or eliminated or the short sale may result in a loss. The fund’s losses are potentially unlimited in a short sale transaction. Short sales are speculative transactions and involve special risks, including greater reliance on the Adviser’s ability to accurately anticipate the future value of a security.
Small Cap and Mid Cap Company Risk  Investments in small cap and mid cap companies may be riskier than investments in larger, more established companies. The securities of these companies may trade less frequently and in smaller volumes than securities of larger companies. In addition, small cap and mid cap companies may be more vulnerable to economic, market and industry changes. As a result, share price changes may be more sudden or erratic than the prices of other equity
securities, especially over the short term. Because smaller companies may have limited product lines, markets or financial resources or may depend on a few key employees, they may be more susceptible to particular economic events or competitive factors than large capitalization companies.

PORTFOLIO TURNOVER
The fund pays transaction costs, such as commissions, when it buys and sells securities (or “turns over” its portfolio). A higher portfolio turnover rate may indicate higher transaction costs and may result in higher taxes when fund shares are held in a taxable account. These costs, which are not reflected in annual fund operating expenses or in the Example, affect the fund’s performance. During the most recent fiscal year, the fund’s portfolio turnover rate was 21% of the average value of its portfolio.








Principal Investment Strategy
The fund, under normal market conditions, invests its assets primarily in non-U.S. equity securities of companies of any size that Diamond Hill Capital Management, Inc. (the “Adviser”) believes are undervalued. Equity securities consist of common and preferred stocks. Under normal market conditions, the fund will invest at least 80% of its net assets in securities issued by companies (i) that are headquartered or have their principal place of business outside the U.S., (ii) whose primary trading markets are outside the U.S. or (iii) that have at least 50% of their assets in, or expect to derive at least 50% of their total revenues or profits from, goods or services produced in or sales made in countries outside the U.S. The fund intends to diversify its investments across different countries and regions, including emerging markets. Emerging market countries include those generally recognized to be an emerging market country by the international financial community; classified by the United Nations as a developing country; or classified as an emerging market country by MSCI or other index or data provider.
The Adviser focuses on estimating a company’s value independent of its current stock price. To estimate a company’s value, the Adviser concentrates on the fundamental economic drivers of the business.
