PROXY STATEMENT

ANNUAL MEETING OF SHAREHOLDERS TO BE HELD ON JUNE 22, 2022

This Proxy Statement is furnished in connection with the solicitation of proxies by the Board of Trustees (the “Board”) of Insight Select Income Fund (the “Fund” or “we”) for use at the Annual Meeting of Shareholders of the Fund to be held on June 22, 2022, at 10:30 a.m. (Eastern Time), at the offices of Troutman Pepper Hamilton Sanders LLP, 400 Berwyn Park, 899 Cassatt Road, Berwyn, Pennsylvania, and at any adjournments thereof (the “Annual Meeting”). A Notice of Annual Meeting of Shareholders and proxy card accompany this Proxy Statement and were first sent or delivered to shareholders on or about May 16, 2022.

Due to the public health impact of the coronavirus, or COVID-19, we are planning for the possibility that we may need to switch to an alternative method of holding the meeting, such as a virtual meeting, held solely by means of remote communication. If we take this step, we will announce the decision to do so in advance via a press release and the filing of necessary proxy materials with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”).

In addition to the solicitation of proxies by mail, proxies also may be solicited by telephone, personal interview or via the Internet. The Fund has also requested brokers, dealers, banks or voting trustees, or their nominees, to forward proxy material to the beneficial owners of the Fund’s shares of beneficial interest. The enclosed proxy is revocable by you at any time prior to the exercise thereof by submitting a written notice of revocation or subsequently executed proxy to the Secretary of the Fund before or at the Annual Meeting. Voting via the Internet or signing and mailing the proxy will not affect your right to give a later-dated proxy or to attend the Annual Meeting and vote your shares in person. There is no shareholder statutory right of appraisal or dissent with respect to any matters to be voted on at the Annual Meeting. The cost of soliciting proxies will be paid by the Fund.

THE PERSONS NAMED IN THE ACCOMPANYING PROXY WILL VOTE THE NUMBER OF SHARES REPRESENTED THEREBY AS DIRECTED OR, IN THE ABSENCE OF SUCH DIRECTION, FOR ALL OF THE INCUMBENT NOMINATED TRUSTEES AND THE TRANSACTION OF SUCH OTHER BUSINESS THAT MAY PROPERLY COME BEFORE THE MEETING AND ANY ADJOURNMENT THEREOF.

The Fund’s shares of beneficial interest trade on the New York Stock Exchange under the ticker symbol “INSI.”

On April 19, 2022, the record date for determination of shareholders entitled to receive notice of and to vote at the Annual Meeting (the “Record Date”), there were 10,713,410.73 shares of beneficial interest of the Fund issued and outstanding, each of which is entitled to one vote, constituting all of the Fund’s then outstanding voting securities.

The Fund’s most recent Annual Report, including audited financial statements for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2022 is available upon request without charge by writing to the Fund at the address set forth above or by calling the Fund at 1-866-333-6685.

PROPOSAL 1: ELECTION OF TRUSTEES

Four Trustees are to be elected at the Annual Meeting to constitute the entire Board of Trustees, and to hold office until the next annual meeting or until their successors shall have been elected and shall have qualified. Except as otherwise directed on the proxy card, it is the intention of the persons named on the proxy card to vote FOR the election of the trustees named below, each of whom has consented to being named in this proxy statement and to serve if elected. If any of the nominees is unavailable to serve for any reason, the persons named as proxies will vote for such other nominee or nominees nominated by those Trustees who are not “interested persons” of the Fund as defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (“1940 Act”). The Fund currently knows of no reason why any of the trustees listed below would be unable or unwilling to serve if elected.

Additional Information Concerning the Board of Trustees

The Board believes that each Trustee’s experience, qualifications, attributes or skills on an individual basis and in combination with those of the other Trustees lead to the conclusion that the Board possesses the requisite skills and attributes. The Board believes that the Trustees’ ability to review, critically evaluate, question and discuss information provided to them, to interact effectively with the Adviser, other service providers, counsel

-3-

and independent auditors, and to exercise effective business judgment in the performance of their duties, support this conclusion.

Each Trustee of the Fund is not an “interested person” (as defined in the 1940 Act) of the Fund (such Trustees who are not interested persons of the Fund being referred to as the “Independent Trustees”).

Trustee Qualification

The following is a brief discussion of the experience, qualifications, attributes and/or skills that led to the Board of Trustees’ conclusion that each individual identified below is qualified to serve as a Trustee of the Fund. In determining that a particular Trustee was qualified to serve as a Trustee, the Board has considered a variety of criteria, none of which was controlling. The Board believes that the Trustees’ ability to review critically, evaluate, question and discuss information provided to them, to interact effectively with the Adviser, other service providers, counsel and independent auditors, and to exercise effective business judgment in the performance of their duties, support the conclusion that each Trustee is qualified to serve as a Trustee of the Fund.

In addition, the following specific experience, qualifications, attributes and/or skills apply as to each Trustee: Mr. Brown, business, accounting and finance expertise and experience as a president, board member and/or executive officer of various businesses; Ms. Harvey, business and finance expertise, including fixed income investment management experience, and experience as a senior vice president, chairperson, principal and/or board member of various businesses and non-profit and other organizations; Mr. Spock, business and finance expertise and experience as an executive vice president, vice president and chief financial officer of various businesses; and Ms. Welsh, business, finance and accounting expertise, experience as a college treasurer and chief financial officer, and experience as a board and/or investment committee member of various non-profit organizations. References to the qualifications, attributes and skills of Trustees are pursuant to requirements of the SEC, do not constitute holding out of the Board or any Trustee as having any special expertise or experience, and shall not impose any greater responsibility or liability on any such person or on the Board by reason thereof.

In its periodic self-assessment of the effectiveness of the Board, the Board considers the complementary individual skills and experience of the individual Trustees primarily in the broader context of the Board’s overall composition so that the Board, as a body, possesses the appropriate, and appropriately diverse, skills and experience to oversee the business of the Trust.

The Board has determined that its leadership structure is appropriate given the business and nature of the Fund. The Chairman of the Board is an Independent Trustee. The Chairman’s primary role is to participate in the preparation of the agenda for meetings of the Board of Trustees and the identification of information to be presented to the Board with respect to matters to be acted upon by the Board of Trustees. The Chairman also presides at all meetings of the Board of Trustees and acts as a liaison with service providers, officers, attorneys and other Trustees generally between meetings. The Chairman may perform such other functions as may be requested by the Board of Trustees from time to time. Except for any duties specified herein or pursuant to the Trust’s Declaration of Trust or By-Laws, the designation of Chairman does not impose on such Independent Trustee any duties, obligations or liability that is greater than the duties, obligations or liability imposed on such person as a member of the Board, generally.

The Board also considered that the chairperson of each Board committee is an Independent Trustee, which yields similar benefits with respect to the functions and activities of the various Board committees. Through the committees, the Independent Trustees consider and address important matters involving the Fund, including those presenting conflicts or potential conflicts of interest for management. The Independent Trustees also regularly meet outside the presence of management with counsel to the Fund. The Board has determined that its committees help ensure that the Fund has effective and independent governance and oversight. The Board also believes that its leadership structure facilitates the orderly and efficient flow of information to the Independent Trustees from Fund management.

Trustees Attendance At Meetings

The Board held four regular meetings and two special meetings during the Fund’s fiscal year ended March 31, 2022. All Trustees attended all meetings of the Board and each committee of which they were members held during the fiscal year ended March 31, 2022. All Trustees virtually attended the Fund’s 2021 annual meeting of shareholders held on June 23, 2021. Currently, there is not a policy for Trustee attendance at annual meetings of shareholders because of the long time practice of the Trustees to attend shareholder meetings.

Audit Committee

The Board has an Audit Committee and has adopted a written charter for the Audit Committee, available at the Fund’s website at https://www.insightinvestment.com/globalassets/documents/us-redesign-documents/insight-select-income/fund-information/insi-audit-committee-charter.pdf. The Audit Committee of the Board currently consists of Mr. Brown, Ms. Harvey, Mr. Spock and Ms. Welsh, each of whom is an “independent” member of the Board, as that term is defined by the New York Stock Exchange’s listing standards, and also a “non-interested person” as that term is defined in the 1940 Act.

The Audit Committee reviews the scope of the audit by the Fund’s independent accountants, confers with the independent accountants with respect to the audit and the internal accounting controls of the Fund and with respect to such other matters as may be important to an evaluation of the audit and the financial statements of the Fund. The Audit Committee also selects and retains the independent accountants for the Fund. During the fiscal year ended March 31, 2022, the Audit Committee met once.

Nominating Committee

The Board has a Nominating Committee and has adopted a written charter for the Nominating Committee, available at the Fund’s website at https://www.insightinvestment.com/globalassets/documents/us-redesign-documents/insight-select-income/fund-information/insi-nominating-committee-charter.pdf. The Nominating Committee of the Board currently consists of Mr. Brown, Ms. Harvey, Mr. Spock and Ms. Welsh, none of whom is an “interested person” of the Fund. Each member of the Nominating Committee also is an “independent” Trustee, as that term is defined by the New York Stock Exchange’s listing standards. The Nominating Committee held one meeting during the last fiscal year. During the fiscal year ended March 31, 2022, no new Trustee nominees were recommended to, or approved by, the Nominating Committee.

The Nominating Committee recommends nominees for Trustees and officers of the Fund for consideration by the full Board of Trustees. The Nominating Committee also periodically reviews the appropriateness of the compensation paid to the Independent Trustees and recommends any changes in compensation to the full Board.

The Fund does not currently have a written policy with regard to shareholder nominations for Trustee. The absence of such a policy does not mean, however, that a shareholder recommendation would not have been considered had one been received in a timely manner as determined by the Committee. In evaluating Trustee nominees, the Nominating Committee considers the following factors: (i) the appropriate size and composition of the Board; (ii) whether the person is an “interested person” of the Fund as defined in Section 2(a)(19) of the 1940 Act; (iii) the needs of the Fund with respect to the particular talents and experience of its Trustees; (iv) the knowledge, skills and experience of nominees in light of prevailing business conditions and the knowledge, skills and experience already possessed by other members of the Board; (v) experience with accounting rules and practices; (vi) whether the person has attained the mandatory retirement age, and (vii) all applicable laws, rules, regulations, and listing standards.

The Board, upon the recommendation of the Nominating Committee, has adopted a mandatory retirement policy requiring each Trustee to submit his resignation from the Board effective on a date no later than the last day of the fiscal year in which he or she attains the age of seventy-five years. The Nominating Committee’s goal is to assemble a Board that brings to the Fund a variety of perspectives and skills derived from high quality business and professional experience.

-5-

Other than the foregoing, there are no stated minimum criteria for Trustee nominees, although the Nominating Committee may also consider such other factors as they may deem to be in the best interests of the Fund and its shareholders. The Nominating Committee identifies nominees by first evaluating the current members of the Board willing to continue in service. If the Nominating Committee determines that an additional Trustee is required, the entire Board is polled for suggestions as to individuals meeting the aforementioned criteria. Research may also be performed to identify qualified individuals. It is not the present intention of the Nominating Committee to engage third parties to identify or evaluate or assist in identifying potential nominees, although the Nominating Committee reserves the right to do so in the future.

Shareholder Communications with Trustees

Shareholders and other interested parties may contact the Board or any member of the Board by mail. To communicate with the Board or any member of the Board correspondence should be addressed to the Board or the Board members with whom you wish to communicate by either name or title. All such correspondence should be sent to the principal place of business of the Fund, c/o Insight Select Income Fund, 200 Park Ave, 7th Floor, New York, NY 10166.

Trustee and Executive Officer Compensation

For the fiscal year ended March 31, 2022, the Fund paid aggregate compensation to its Trustees of $141,500. The aggregate compensation paid by the Fund to each of its Trustees serving during the fiscal year ended March 31, 2022 is set forth in the compensation table below. None of the Trustees serves on the Board of any other registered investment company to which the Fund’s investment adviser or an affiliated person of the Fund’s investment adviser provides investment advisory services.

Required Vote

Forty percent (40%) of the Shares entitled to vote on a matter shall constitute a quorum at a meeting of the shareholders. Any meeting of shareholders may be adjourned from time to time by a majority of the votes properly cast upon the question of adjourning a meeting to another date and time, whether or not a quorum is present, and the meeting may be held as adjourned within a reasonable time after the date set for the original meeting without further notice.

If a quorum is present, a plurality of all votes cast at the meeting is sufficient for the election of Trustees, which means that the candidates receiving the highest number of votes shall be elected. Abstentions and broker non-votes will not be counted for or against any proposal to which they relate, but will be counted for purposes of determining whether a quorum is present.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION

INFORMATION ABOUT ATTENDING THE MEETING

Instructions regarding how to vote via the Internet are included on the proxy card. The required control number for Internet voting is printed on the proxy card. The control number is used to match proxy cards with shareholders’ respective accounts and to ensure that, if multiple proxy cards are executed, shares are voted in accordance with the proxy card bearing the latest date.

Only shareholders or their duly appointed proxy holders can attend the Annual Meeting (in person) and any adjournment or postponement thereof.

INFORMATION REGARDING THE FUND’S INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

Tait, Weller & Baker LLP (“Tait Weller”), Two Liberty Place, 50 South 16^th Street, Suite 2900, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania 19103, has been selected to serve as the Fund’s independent accountants for the Fund’s fiscal year ending March 31, 2023. Tait Weller acted as the Fund’s independent accountants for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2022. The Fund knows of no direct financial or material indirect financial interest of Tait Weller in the Fund. A representative of Tait Weller will be available virtually at the Annual Meeting and will have an opportunity to make a statement, if asked, and will be available to respond to appropriate questions.

REPORT OF THE AUDIT COMMITTEE

During the fiscal year ended March 31, 2022, the Audit Committee met once and has reviewed and discussed the Fund’s audited financial statements with Fund management. Further, the Audit Committee has discussed with Tait Weller, the Fund’s independent accountants, the matters required to be discussed by SAS 61 regarding audit standards. The Audit Committee has received the written disclosures and a letter from Tait Weller required by Public Company Accounting Oversight Board Auditing Standard 1301 “Communications with Audit Committees” and has discussed with Tait Weller their independence. Based upon the foregoing, at its meeting on May 10, 2022, the Audit Committee recommended to the full Board that the audited financial statements of the Fund be included in the Fund’s annual report to shareholders for filing with the SEC for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2022.

The Audit Committee of the Board:

W. Thacher Brown

Ellen D. Harvey

Thomas E. Spock

Suzanne P. Welsh

Set forth in the table below are audit fees and non-audit related fees billed to the Fund by Tait Weller for professional services received during and for the Fund’s fiscal years ended March 31, 2021 and 2022, respectively.

Audit-Related Fees are fees related to assurance and related services related to the annual audit of the Fund and for review of the Fund’s financial statements, other than the Audit Fees described below. These include agreed upon procedures reports performed for rating agencies and the issuance of comfort letters. Tax Fees are fees associated with tax compliance, tax advice and tax planning, including federal, state and local income tax return preparation and related advice and determination of taxable income and miscellaneous tax advice. All Other Fees are fees related to products and services other than those services reported below under “Audit Fees,” “Audit-Related Fees” and “Tax Fees.”


Fiscal Year Ended March 31,	Audit Fees	Audit-Related Fees	Tax Fees	All Other Fees
2021	$22,000	$3,000	$3,500	$0

2022	$22,000	$3,000	$3,500	$0

The Fund’s Audit Committee charter requires that the Audit Committee shall pre-approve all auditing services and permitted non-audit services (including the fees for such services and terms thereof) to be performed for the Fund by its independent public accountants in one of two methods. Under the first method, the engagement to render the services would be entered into pursuant to pre-approval policies and procedures established by the Audit Committee, provided (i) the policies and procedures are detailed as to the services to be performed, (ii) the Audit Committee is informed of each service, and (iii) such policies and procedures do not include delegation of the Audit Committee’s responsibilities under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”) to the Fund’s management. Under the second method, the engagement to render the services would be presented to and pre-approved by the Audit Committee (subject to the de minimus exceptions for non-audit services described in Section 10A(i)(1)(B) of the Exchange Act that are approved by the Audit Committee prior to the completion of the audit). The Chair of the Audit Committee has the authority to grant pre-approvals of audit and permissible non-audit services by the independent public accountants, provided that all pre-approvals by the Chair must be presented to the full Audit Committee at its next scheduled meeting. The Fund will provide for appropriate funding as determined by the Audit Committee, for payment of compensation to the independent public accountants and to any consultants, experts or advisors engaged by the Committee. All of the audit, audit-related and tax services described above for which Tait Weller billed the Fund fees for the fiscal years ended March 31, 2021 and March 31, 2022 were pre-approved by the Audit Committee. These were the only services provided by Tait Weller.

To the Fund’s knowledge, based solely on review of the copies of such reports furnished to the Fund during the fiscal year ended March 31, 2022, all Section 16(a) filing requirements applicable to the Reporting Persons were complied with.

Shares of Beneficial Interest	First Trust Portfolios L.P.* First Trust Advisors L.P.* The Charger Corporation* 120 E. Liberty Dr., #400 Wheaton, IL 60187		18.65	%		1,997,294

Shares of Beneficial Interest	SIT Investment Associates Inc. 200 Park Ave., 7^th FL New York, NY 10166		11.59	%		1,241,365

Shareholder Proposals

Proposals intended to be presented by shareholders for consideration at the 2023 Annual Meeting of Shareholders must be received by the Secretary of the Fund at the Fund’s principal office no later than January 16, 2023 in order to be considered for inclusion in the proxy statement for that meeting. Shareholder proposals are subject to certain requirements under the federal securities laws and must be submitted in accordance with these requirements. Shareholders who wish to make a proposal at the Fund’s 2023 Annual Meeting of Shareholders, other than one that will be included in the Fund’s proxy materials, must notify the Fund no later than February 28, 2023.
