Exhibit 28(d)(2)

THIS INVESTMENT SUB-ADVISORY AGREEMENT ("Agreement"), made this 1st day of April , 2014 by and between National Fund Advisors, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (the "Adviser"), and SEL Asset Management, LLC, a limited liability company organized under Delaware law (the "Sub-Adviser").

WHEREAS, the Adviser has entered into an investment advisory agreement (the "Investment Advisory Agreement") with Realty Capital Income Funds Trust (the "Trust"), an open-end management investment company registered under the Investment Company Act of

1940, as amended (the "1940 Act"), of which the AR Capital Dividend and Value Fund (the

"Fund") is a series; and

WHEREAS, under the Investment Advisory Agreement, the Adviser has agreed to provide certain investment advisory services to the Fund; and

WHEREAS, the Adviser is authorized under the Investment Advisory Agreement to delegate its investment advisory responsibilities to one or more persons or companies; and

WHEREAS, the Sub-Adviser is willing to furnish such services to the Adviser and the Fund;

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and mutual covenants herein contained, the Adviser and the Sub-Adviser agree as follows:

1. Appointment. Adviser hereby engages the services of Sub-Adviser in connection with Adviser's management of the Fund. Pursuant to this Agreement and subject to the oversight and supervision by Adviser and the officers and the board of trustees of the Trust (the "Board"), Sub Adviser shall manage the investment and reinvestment of that portion of the assets of the Fund that the Adviser shall, from time to time, direct. If Sub-Adviser is not responsible for managing the investment and reinvestment of all of the Fund's assets, then references herein to the Fund, where appropriate, mean that portion of the Fund's assets for which Sub-Adviser is responsible.

2. Acceptance of Appointment. Sub-Adviser hereby accepts appointment by Adviser in the foregoing capacity and agrees, at its own expense, to render the services set forth herein and to provide the office space, furnishings, equipment and personnel required by it to perform such services on the terms and for the compensation provided in this Agreement.

3. Duties as Sub-Adviser.

Sub-Adviser shall furnish continuously an investment program for the Fund and shall determine from time to time in its discretion the securities and other investments to be purchased or sold or exchanged and what portions of the Fund shall be held in various securities, cash or other investments. In this connection, Sub-Adviser shall provide Adviser and the officers and trustees of the Trust with

Sub-Adviser's management of the Fund assets.

Sub-Adviser shall carry out its responsibilities under this Agreement in compliance with: (a) the Fund's investment objective, policies and restrictions as set forth in the Trust's current registration statement, (b) such policies or directives as the Trust's trustees may from time to time establish or issue and communicate to the Sub-Adviser in writing, and (c) applicable law and related regulations. Adviser shall promptly notify Sub-Adviser in writing of changes to (a) or (b) above and shall notify Sub-Adviser in writing of changes to (c) above promptly after it becomes aware of such changes.

Sub-Adviser shall be responsible to ensure that the Fund continuously qualifies as a regulated investment company under Sub-Chapter M of the Code.

Sub-Adviser shall take all actions which it considers necessary to implement the investment policies of the Fund as these relate to the Fund, and in particular, to place all orders for the purchase or sale of securities or other investments for the Fund with brokers or dealers selected by it, and to that end, Sub-Adviser is authorized as the agent of the Trust to give instructions to the Trust's custodian as to deliveries of securities or other investments and payments of cash for the account of the Fund. In connection with the selection of brokers or dealers and the placing of purchase and sale orders with respect to investments of the Fund, Sub-Adviser is directed at all times to seek to obtain best execution and price within the policy guidelines determined by the Board and set forth in the Trust's current registration statement.

To the extent permitted by the policy guidelines set forth in the Trust's current registration statement, Sub-Adviser is authorized to consider, in the selection of brokers and dealers to execute portfolio transactions, not only the available prices and rates of brokerage commissions, but also other relevant factors which may include, without limitation: (a) the execution capabilities of such brokers and dealers, (b) research, custody and other services provided by such brokers and dealers which the Sub-Adviser believes will enhance its general portfolio management capabilities, (c) the size of the transaction, (d) the difficulty of execution, (e) the operational facilities of such brokers and dealers, (f) the risk to such a broker or dealer of positioning a block of securities, and (g) the overall quality of brokerage and research services provided by such brokers and dealers. In connection with the foregoing, Sub-Adviser is specifically authorized to pay those brokers and dealers who provide brokerage and research services to it a higher commission than that charged by other brokers and dealers if the Sub Adviser determines in good faith that the amount of such commission is reasonable in relation to the value of such services in terms of either the particular transaction or in terms of Sub-Adviser's overall responsibilities with respect to the Fund and to any other client accounts or portfolios which Sub-Adviser advises. The execution of such transactions shall not be considered to represent an unlawful breach of any duty created by this Agreement or otherwise.

and sale orders with respect to investments of the Fund, when instructed to do so by either the Trust or the Adviser, Sub-Adviser agrees and is authorized to place orders with one or more brokers or dealers identified by the Trust or Adviser (including brokers or dealers who are affiliated persons of the Trust or Adviser). The execution of such transactions shall not be considered to represent an unlawful breach of any duty created by this Agreement or otherwise.

Sub-Adviser or an affiliated person of Sub-Adviser may act as broker for the Fund in connection with the purchase or sale of securities or other investments for the Fund, subject to: (a) the requirement that Sub-Adviser obtain best execution and price within the policy guidelines determined by the Board and set forth in the Trust's current registration statement; (b) the provisions of the Investment Advisers Act of 1940, as amended (the "Advisers Act"); (c) the provisions of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended; and (d) other applicable provisions of law. Such brokerage services are not within the scope of the duties of Sub Adviser under this Agreement. Subject to the requirements of applicable law and any procedures adopted by Board, Sub-Adviser or its affiliated persons may receive brokerage commissions, fees or other remuneration from the Fund or the Trust for such services in addition to Sub-Adviser's fees for services under this Agreement.

Sub-Adviser also is authorized to aggregate purchase and sale orders for securities held (or to be held) in the Fund with similar orders being made on the same day for other client accounts or portfolios managed by Sub-Adviser. When an order is so aggregated: (a) the actual prices applicable to the aggregated transaction will be averaged and the Fund and each other account or portfolio participating in the aggregated transaction shall be treated as having purchased or sold its portion of the securities at such average price, and (b) all transaction costs incurred in effecting the aggregated transaction shall be shared on a pro-rata basis among the accounts or portfolios (including the Fund) participating in the transaction. Adviser recognizes that in some cases this procedure may adversely affect the size of the position obtainable for the Fund.

When recommending or effecting a transaction in a particular security or investment for more than one client account or portfolio (including the Fund), Sub-Adviser may allocate such recommendations or transactions among all accounts and portfolios for whom the recommendation is made or transaction is effected on a basis that Sub-Adviser considers equitable.

In accordance with procedures adopted by the Board, as amended from time to time, the Sub-Adviser will assist the Fund's administrator and/or the Fund in determining the fair valuation of all portfolio securities of the Fund and will use its reasonable efforts to arrange for the provision of valuation information or price(s) for each portfolio security held by the Fund for which the Fund's administrator does not obtain prices in the ordinary course of business from an automated pricing service.

4. Services Not Exclusive. Sub-Adviser’s services under this Agreement are not exclusive. The Sub-Adviser shall be free to furnish similar services to others, except as prohibited by applicable law or agreed upon in writing between the Sub-Adviser and the Adviser (or its affiliates). Adviser acknowledges that, except when transactions for multiple clients are aggregated, transactions in a specific security or other investment may not be recommended or executed at the same time or price for all client accounts or portfolios (including the Fund) for which that security or investment is recommended or executed. This Agreement does not require Sub-Adviser to give priority to the Fund over other client accounts or portfolios.

5. Independent Contractor. Sub-Adviser shall for all purposes herein be deemed to be an independent contractor and shall, unless otherwise expressly provided or authorized, have no authority to act for or represent the Adviser, the Trust or the Fund or otherwise be deemed agents of the Adviser, the Trust or the Fund.

6. Proxies. The Adviser delegates the Adviser's discretionary authority to exercise voting rights with respect to the securities and other investments in the Fund to the Sub-Adviser. The Sub-Adviser shall exercise these voting rights unless and until the Adviser revokes this delegation. The Adviser may revoke this delegation at any time without cause. The Sub Adviser shall maintain and preserve a record, in an easily-accessible place for a period of not less than three years, of the Sub-Adviser's voting procedures, and of the Sub-Adviser's actual votes, and shall supply this record to the Adviser, or any authorized representative of the Adviser, upon the written request of the Adviser or the Adviser's authorized representative, as appropriate.
