REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

 

To the Board of Trustees of

Insight Select Income Fund

 

We have examined management’s assertion, included in the accompanying Management Statement Regarding Compliance with Certain Provisions of the Investment Company Act of 1940, that the Insight Select Income Fund, (the “Fund”), complied with the requirements of subsections (b) and (c) of Rule 17f-2 under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the “Act”) as of March 31, 2024. Management is responsible for its assertion about compliance with the requirements of subsections (b) and (c) of Rule 17f-2 of the Act (the specified requirements). Our responsibility is to express an opinion on management’s assertion about the Fund’s compliance with the specified requirements based on our examination.

 

Our examination was conducted in accordance with attestation standards established by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants. Those standards require that we plan and perform the examination to obtain reasonable assurance about whether management’s assertion about compliance with the specified requirements is fairly stated, in all material respects. An examination involves performing procedures to obtain evidence about whether management’s assertion is fairly stated in all material respects. The nature, timing, and extent of the procedures selected depend on our judgment, including an assessment of the risks of material misstatement of management’s assertion, whether due to fraud or error. We believe that the evidence we obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

 

Included among our procedures were the following tests performed as of March 31, 2024, and with respect to agreement of security and similar investments purchases and sales, for the period from February 29, 2024 (the date of our last examination) through March 31, 2024.

 

•

Confirmation of all securities held by BNY Mellon, custodian in book entry form and reconciliation with depositories and subcustodians used by BNY Mellon.

 

•

Confirmation of all securities hypothecated, pledged, placed in escrow, or out for transfer with brokers, pledges, or transfer agents.

 

•

Reconciliation of all such securities to the books and records of the Fund and the custodian, BNY Mellon.

 

•

Confirmation of all time deposits with broker/banks and agreement with custodian records.

 

•

Agreement of five security purchases and five security sales since our last report from the books and records of the Fund to broker confirmations.

 

We believe that our examination provides a reasonable basis for our opinion. Our examination does not provide a legal determination on the Fund’s compliance with specified requirements.

 

In our opinion, management’s assertion that the Insight Select Income Fund complied with the requirements of subsections (b) and (c) of Rule 17f-2 of the Investment Company Act of 1940 as of March 31, 2024, with respect to securities and similar investments reflected in the investment accounts of the Fund, is fairly stated, in all material respects.
