Economic Summary

At the end of December, the U.S. Bureau of Economic Analysis released its final reading of the third quarter 2023 gross domestic product (GDP), to show an increase in the annual growth rate of 4.9%, which was lower than initial projections of 5.2%, mainly because of a decline in consumer spending. At a 4.9% growth rate, the U.S. increased at more than twice the rate of growth in the previous quarter and puts to rest concerns of a recession this year. The solid third-quarter growth came even as the Federal Reserve (Fed) raised interest rates to their highest level in years. The Fed has raised interest rates 11 times since March of last year, pushing the federal funds rates to a 22-year high of 5.25% to 5.5% to slow the economy and lower soaring inflation. Fed Chairman Jerome Powell hinted at the last rate meeting that Fed officials may soon be ready to reverse course on interest rate hikes. “If the economy evolves as projected, the median participant projects that the appropriate level of the federal funds rate will be 4.6% at the end of 2024, 3.6% at the end of 2025, and 2.9% at the end of 2026,” Fed Chair Jerome Powell said in a statement. The third quarter growth in the U.S. economy was buoyed by a strong consumer in spite of higher interest rates, ongoing inflation pressures, and a variety of other domestic and global headwinds. The sharp increase came due to contributions from consumer spending, increased inventories, exports, residential investment and government spending. The GDP increase marked the biggest gain since the fourth quarter of 2021. While the U.S. has proven resilient to the various challenges, most economists expect growth to slow considerably in the coming months. However, they generally think the U.S. can skirt a recession absent any other unforeseen shocks.

The U.S labor market closed out 2023 in strong shape as the pace of hiring was even more powerful than expected, the Labor Department reported. December’s job report showed employers added 216,000 positions for the month while the unemployment rate held at 3.7%. Payroll growth showed a sizeable gain from November’s downwardly revised 173,000. October was also revised lower, to 105,000 from 150,000, indicating a slightly less robust picture for growth in the fourth quarter. Economists surveyed by Dow Jones had been looking for payrolls to increase 170,000 and the unemployment rate to nudge higher to 3.8%. The December hiring boost as reflected in the Labor Department report was led by a gain of 52,000 in government jobs and another 38,000 in health-care related fields. The report showed that inflationary pressures, despite receding elsewhere, are still prevalent in the labor market. Average hourly earnings rose 0.4% on the month and were up 4.1% from a year ago, both higher than the respective estimates for 0.3% and 3.9%.

During its December meeting, The Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) agreed to hold its benchmark rate steady in a range between 5.25% and 5.5%. At the meeting, Federal Reserve officials concluded that interest rate cuts are likely in 2024, though they appeared to provide little in the way of when that might occur, according to the minutes. Members indicated they expect three quarter-percentage point cuts by the end of 2024. Officials noted the progress that has been made in the battle to bring down inflation. They said supply chain factors that contributed substantially to a surge that peaked in mid-2022 appear to have eased. In addition, they cited progress in bringing the labor market better into balance, though that also is a work in progress. The “dot plot” of individual members’ expectations released following the meeting showed that participants expect cuts over the coming three years to bring the overnight borrowing rate back down near the long-run range of 2%. However, the minutes noted an “unusually elevated degree of uncertainty” about the policy path. Several members said it might be necessary to keep the funds rate at an elevated level if inflation doesn’t cooperate, and others noted the potential for additional hikes depending on how conditions evolve. Despite the cautionary tone from Fed officials, markets expect the central bank to cut aggressively in 2024.

Market Commentary

Spurred by the expected end to the Federal Reserve’s cycle of monetary policy tightening, the FTSE Nareit All Equity REITs Index rose 11.4% in 2023. The real turning point for REITs this year took place in the middle of October when the 10-Year Treasury peaked. From October 19th through December 29th, the All Equity REITs index rose 22.1%, while the yield on the 10-Year Treasury dipped from its high of 4.991% on October 19th to ending the year at 3.88%. Data Centers were the number one performing REITs sector this year, returning 30.1% for the year.

On March 11, 2020, the World Health Organization announced that it had made the assessment that COVID-19 can be characterized as a pandemic. The impact of COVID-19, and other infectious illness outbreaks that may arise in the future, could adversely affect the economies of many nations or the entire global economy, individual issuers and capital markets in ways that cannot necessarily be foreseen. Public health crises caused by the COVID-19 outbreak may exacerbate other pre-existing political, social and economic risks in certain countries or globally. The duration of the COVID-19 outbreak and its effects cannot be determined with certainty.

Fund Summary

The Spirit of America Real Estate Income and Growth Fund, SOAAX (the “Fund”), aims to provide high total return through a combination of capital appreciation and dividend income.

As of December 31, 2023, the Fund was invested over 98% in REITs. A REIT, or Real Estate Investment Trust, is a company that owns or finances income-producing real estate. REITs provide investors with regular income streams, diversification and long-term capital appreciation. REITs typically pay out all of their taxable income as dividends to shareholders. REITs are tied to almost all aspects of the economy, including apartments, hospitals, hotels, industrial facilities, infrastructure, nursing homes, offices, shopping malls, storage centers, and student housing.

Return Summary

The Fund had a total one year return of 11.22% (no load, gross of fees). This compares to the 13.73% returned by its benchmark, the MSCI US REIT Index, for the same period.

The material factors that affected the Fund were market direction and security selection. The Funds underperformance was due to numerous factors such as sector weightings where the fund was overweight in the Telecom sector by 1.57% which resulted in a (2.88)% total return for the Fund. The Fund was underweight in the Retail sector as compared to its MSCI US REIT benchmark by 4.37% and retail REITs returned over 10% for the year. The Fund did not rely on derivatives or leverage strategies.

The value of the Fund and the securities in which the Fund invests may be adversely affected by impacts caused by COVID-19 and other epidemics and pandemics that may arise in the future.

Economic Summary

Market Commentary

After a dismal year of stock market returns in 2022, most investors were happy to see the year end and a new year begin. Investors went into 2023 worried about inflation, rising rates, slow economic growth and expecting a recession by the second half of the year. Instead, inflation cooled and the economy remained solid despite numerous early headwinds. The first part of 2023 the market had to endure a regional banking crisis while the Fed raised interest rates four times sparking fears of a credit crunch. The latter half of 2023 saw a market rally driven by speculation that the Fed would cut interest rates. At the FOMC December meeting, officials signaled that no additional increases are expected and they will likely lower rates in the coming year.

(Facebook), Microsoft, Nvidia and Tesla, the group contributed roughly 60% to the S&P 500’s gains in 2023. One of the tailwinds for these stocks is expectations of multiple Fed interest rate cuts in 2024, along with the emerging boom in artificial intelligence technologies.

Fund Summary

The Spirit of America Large Cap Value Fund, SOAVX (the “Fund”), seeks to provide capital appreciation with a secondary objective of current income. The emphasis of the Fund is focused on investing in a diversified portfolio. We are invested in all 11 sectors on the S&P 500 Index.

The material factors that affected the Fund were market direction, stock selection, and the ongoing Covid-19 pandemic. The value of the Fund and the securities in which the Fund invests may be adversely affected by impacts caused by COVID-19 and other epidemics and pandemics that may arise in the future.

The Fund does not make decisions based on complicated algorithms. We are not a hedge fund. At Spirit of America, technology works for us; we do not work for technology. We do not receive buy signals from a computer generated model. We invest the old-fashioned way – utilizing hard work, intensive research, and intuitive decisions. Our decisions are based on the experience of our dedicated team of professionals.

Return Summary

The Fund had a total return of 27.57% (no load, gross of fees) in 2023. This compares to its benchmark, the S&P 500 Index, which was up 26.29% for the year.

The material factors that affected the Fund’s outperformance of its benchmark, the S&P 500, were market direction and security selection. The Fund continues to invest with a value approach looking for companies with attractive valuations. The Fund outweighed the S&P by 3.49% in the Information Technology sector which was the best performing sector for the year. Another reason for the Fund’s outperformance over the benchmark was the Consumer Staples sector ending the year with a total return down over two percent, and the Fund was two percent less concentrated in that segment than the S&P 500. This was due to the security selection and sector positioning within the Fund.

MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION (UNAUDITED)

Dear Shareholder,

We are very pleased to provide the 2023 Annual report for the Spirit of America Municipal Tax Free Bond Fund. We look forward to continued inflows and further development of the Spirit of America Municipal Tax Free Bond Fund.

Our many years of experience in the municipal bond market have helped us to pursue a balance between yield and quality. Our goal is to continue seeking current income that is exempt from federal income tax, while employing a relatively conservative approach to investing in the municipal market. Although the mandate of the Spirit of America Municipal Tax Free Bond Fund allows it to invest in lower rated securities, at this time, the focus will continue to be investing in bonds which are investment grade.

We appreciate your support of our fund and look forward to your future investment in the Spirit of America Municipal Tax Free Bond Fund.

Thank you for being a part of the Spirit of America Family of Funds.

Sincerely,

David Lerner

Economic Summary

At the end of December, the U.S. Bureau of Economic Analysis released its final reading of the third quarter 2023 gross domestic product (GDP), to show an increase in the annual growth rate of 4.9%, which was lower than initial projections of 5.2%, mainly because of a decline in consumer spending. At a 4.9% growth rate, the U.S. increased at more than twice the rate of growth in the previous quarter and puts to rest concerns of a recession this year. The solid third-quarter growth came even as the Federal Reserve raised interest rates to their highest level in years. The Fed has raised interest rates 11 times since March of last year, pushing the federal funds rates to a 22-year high of 5.25% to 5.5% to slow the economy and lower soaring inflation. Fed Chairman Jerome Powell hinted at the last rate meeting that Fed officials may soon be ready to reverse course on interest rate hikes. “If the economy evolves as projected, the median participant projects that the appropriate level of the federal funds rate will be 4.6% at the end of 2024, 3.6% at the end of 2025, and 2.9% at the end of 2026,” Fed Chair Jerome Powell said in a statement. The third quarter growth in the U.S. economy was buoyed by a strong consumer in spite of higher interest rates, ongoing inflation pressures, and a variety of other domestic and global headwinds. The sharp increase came due to contributions from consumer spending, increased inventories, exports, residential investment and government spending. The GDP increase marked the biggest gain since the fourth quarter of 2021. While the U.S. has proven resilient to the various challenges, most economists expect growth to slow considerably in the coming months. However, they generally think the U.S. can skirt a recession absent any other unforeseen shocks.

Market Commentary

Total 2023 municipal bond volume fell slightly from 2022 as market volatility, higher interest rates, pandemic aid and slower economic growth kept issuers on the sidelines. However, a robust fourth quarter buoyed issuance for the year, so volume only ticked down 2.8%, much better than previous quarters where issuance was down double digits. The muni market saw $379.992 billion of debt issues in 2023, only $11.076 billion less than the $391.068 billion seen in 2022. This is less severe than last year when issuance fell 19.1% from 2021. Tax-exempt issuance rose 3.3% to $325.840 billion from $315.317 billion in 2022. Taxable issuance dropped 31% to $37.443 billion from $54.279 billion in 2022. Firms were mixed on expectations of total issuance for 2023. Estimates were between $302 billion and $500 billion by the end of 2022, based on factors such as market volatility, a potential recession and its severity, and Fed policy.

The 30 Year US Treasury yield moved from a 3.84% on 1/3/23 to a 4.03% on 12/29/23. The MMD Tax-Free 30 Year AAA yield began the year at a 3.57% on 1/3/23 and ended the year at a 3.42% on 12/29/23. The U.S. 10-year Treasury yield finished 2023 at 3.88% in a momentous year for treasury yields as the Federal Reserve continued its aggressive hiking campaign and investors fretted over high inflation and a potential recession. The 10-year yield started the year at 3.74%. The yield hit a high of 4.99% in October.

Fund Summary

The Spirit of America Municipal Tax Free Bond Fund’s, SOAMX (the “Fund”), seeks to provide high current income that is exempt from federal income tax, including alternative minimum tax. The Fund focuses on quality credits in the municipal market. We are targeting a balance between attractive yield and quality investments.

The Fund can invest in lower rated securities; however we have kept our focus on investing in bonds that are investment grade. Our plan is to continue with this relatively conservative approach to investing in the municipal market.

In keeping with this philosophy, the Fund has been able to maintain attractive yields without venturing into the speculative, below investment grade, segment of the municipal market. As of December 31, 2023, approximately 97.35% of the portfolio was above investment grade, with 97.35% rated “A” or better. The average rating of holdings in the Fund is Aa2/AA.

One of the Fund’s goals has been to diversify with respect to geographic location and sector. As of the end of December 2023, the Fund consists of 150 different positions varied across 31 states and the District of Columbia. The holdings range throughout various sectors, including areas such as: general obligations, healthcare, education, industrial development and other public improvement bonds.

While it certainly has not been a primary goal of the Fund, we have been able to maintain a percentage of bonds in states and territories which have a state tax exemption in New York, New Jersey and Connecticut, where a majority of our clients reside. Additionally, Puerto Rico bonds are exempt from state tax. Due to the struggles Puerto Rico has been facing, the Fund has actively managed its Puerto Rico holdings. As of December 31, 2023, Puerto Rico holdings now represent 0.00% of the portfolio.

Return Summary

The Fund’s Net Asset Value went from $8.47 to $8.64 during 2023. The Fund is currently at $35,072,256 million in net assets with 1,025 shareholder accounts as of December 31, 2023.

The Fund had a total one year return of 5.44% (no load, gross of fees) for 2023. This compares to the 6.40% return of its benchmark, the Bloomberg Municipal Bond Index, for the same period. That result does not take the Fund’s sales charge and expense ratio into account. The Fund’s slight underperformance relative to the benchmark was largely due to the Fund’s shorter duration and average maturity as compared to the (BBMBI). Longer maturing bonds, in general, experience greater price appreciation than bonds with shorter maturities, when interest rates are falling.

The material factors that affected the Fund were the drop in municipal bond interest rates in 2023 and the continued investment in high quality securities. As a result of the Fund’s focus on quality, it had zero exposure to Puerto Rico whose challenges have been well documented. The Fund does not rely on derivatives or leverage strategies. The value of the Fund and the securities may be adversely affected by impacts caused by COVID-19 and other epidemics and pandemics that may arise in the future.

MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION (UNAUDITED) (CONT.)

Including the sales charge and expenses, as of December 31, 2023, the Fund’s one year return was (0.48%). The Fund had an annualized five year return of (0.09%) and an annualized return since inception of 2.47%. Our plan is to proceed with the same strategy that we have utilized since the Fund’s inception. We will continue to seek out municipal bonds that provide a balance between credit risk and the potential to offer high current income and consistently attractive yields.

Ratings are provided by Moody’s Investor Services and Standard & Poor’s. The Moody’s ratings in the following ratings explanations are in parenthesis.

AAA (Aaa) - The highest rating assigned by Moody’s and S&P. Capacity to pay interest and repay principal is extremely strong. AA (Aa) - Debt has a very strong capacity to pay interest and repay principal and differs from the highest rated issues only in a small degree.

A - Debt rated “A” has a strong capacity to pay interest and repay principal, although it is somewhat more susceptible to the adverse effects of changes in circumstances and economic conditions than debt in higher-rated categories.

BBB (Baa) - Debt is regarded as having an adequate capacity to pay interest and repay principal. These ratings by Moody’s and S&P are the “cut-off” for a bond to be considered investment grade. Whereas debt normally exhibits adequate protection parameters, adverse economic conditions or changing circumstances are more likely to lead to a weakened capacity to pay interest and repay principal in this category than in higher-rated categories.

BB (Bb), B, CCC (Ccc), CC (Cc), C - Debt rated in these categories is regarded as having predominantly speculative characteristics with respect to capacity to pay interest and repay principal. “BB” indicates the least degree of speculation and

“C” the highest. While such debt will likely have some quality and protective characteristics, these are outweighed by large uncertainties or market exposure to adverse conditions and are not considered to be investment grade.

D - Debt rated “D” is in payment default. This rating category is used when interest payments or principal payments are not made on the date due, even if the applicable grace period has not expired, unless S&P believes that such payments will be made during such grace period.

Ratings are subject to change.

Ratings apply to the bonds in the portfolio. They do not remove market risk associated with the fund.

Ratings are based on Moody’s and S&P, as applicable. Credit ratings are based largely on the rating agency’s investment analysis at the time of rating and the rating assigned to any particular security is not necessarily a reflection of the issuer’s current financial condition. The rating assigned to a security by a rating agency does not necessarily reflect its assessment of the volatility of a security’s market value or of the liquidity of an investment in the security. If securities are rated differently by the rating agencies, the higher of the two rating is applied thus improving the overall evaluation of the portfolio.

MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION (UNAUDITED) (CONT.)

Economic Summary

At the end of December, the U.S. Bureau of Economic Analysis released its final reading of the third quarter 2023 gross domestic product (GDP), to show an increase in the annual growth rate of 4.9%, which was lower than initial projections of 5.2%, mainly because of a decline in consumer spending. At a 4.9% growth rate, the U.S. increased at more than twice the rate of growth in the previous quarter and puts to rest concerns of a recession this year. The solid third-quarter growth came even as the Federal Reserve raised interest rates to their highest level in years. The Fed has raised interest rates 11 times since March of last year, pushing the federal funds rates to a 22-year high of 5.25% to 5.5% to slow the economy and lower soaring inflation. Fed Chairman Jerome Powell hinted at the last rate meeting that Fed officials may soon be ready to reverse course on interest rate hikes. “If the economy evolves as projected, the median participant projects that the appropriate level of the federal funds rate will be 4.6% at the end of 2024, 3.6% at the end of 2025, and 2.9% at the end of 2026,” Fed Chair Jerome Powell said in a statement. The third quarter growth in the U.S. economy was buoyed by a strong consumer in spite of higher interest rates, ongoing inflation pressures, and a variety of other domestic and global headwinds. The sharp increase came due to contributions from consumer spending, increased inventories, exports, residential investment and government spending. The GDP increase marked the biggest gain since the fourth quarter of 2021. While the U.S. has proven resilient to the various challenges, most economists expect growth to slow considerably in the coming months. However, they generally think the U.S. can skirt a recession absent any other unforeseen shocks.

Market Commentary

Following a brutal 2022, Investors went into 2023 worried about inflation and expecting a recession by the second half of the year. Instead, inflation has cooled and the economy remained solid despite numerous early headwinds. We had the regional banking crisis, which sparked fears of a credit crunch and while the Fed raised interest rates four times over the year, at their December meeting, officials signaled that no additional increases are expected and they will likely lower rates in the coming year.

2023 marked a much-needed comeback when it came to both stock and bond market performance. Bolstered by the combination of a solid economy, better-than-expected corporate earnings, and an apparent end to the Federal Reserve’s interest rate hikes. Stocks were able to rally over 25% in 2023 led mostly by Technology stocks, more specifically a small group of tech names referred to as the Magnificent Seven. Composed of Apple, Alphabet (Google), Amazon, Meta Platforms (Facebook), Microsoft, Nvidia and Tesla, the group contributed roughly 60% to the S&P 500’s gains in 2023. The main tailwind’s for these stocks was due to expectations of multiple Fed rate cuts in 2024, along with the emerging boom in artificial intelligence technologies.

SPIRIT OF AMERICA INCOME FUND
MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION (UNAUDITED) (CONT.)

The 30 Year US Treasury yield moved from a 3.84% on 1/3/23 to a 4.03% on 12/29/23. The MMD Taxable 30 Year AAA yield began the year at a 5.29% on 1/3/23 and ended the year at a 5.16% on 12/29/23. The U.S.10-year Treasury yield finished 2023 at 3.88% in a momentous year for treasury yields as the Federal Reserve continued its aggressive hiking campaign and investors fretted over high inflation and a potential recession. The 10-year yield started the year at 3.74%. The yield hit a high of 4.99% in October.

Fund Summary

The Spirit of America Income Fund’s, SOAIX (the “Fund”) objective is to seek high current income. The emphasis of the Fund is focused on investing in a diversified portfolio of taxable municipal bonds, income producing equity securities, preferred stocks, collateralized mortgage obligations, and master limited partnerships (MLPs).

At the end of 2023, the Fund had over 59% of its assets in taxable municipal bonds, more than 20% in preferred stock, over 10% in corporate bonds and more than 8% in common stock securities. We remain diligent in our approach to the market. Here at Spirit of America each and every credit goes through rigorous credit analysis.

We invest the old-fashioned way – utilizing hard work, intensive research, and intuitive decisions. Our decisions are based on the experience of our dedicated team of professionals. When we began the Fund, we felt the environment was favorable to start an income fund and while past performance is no guarantee of future results; our results continue to validate that belief.

Return Summary

The Fund’s Net Asset Value went from $10.08 to $10.09 during 2023. The Fund is currently at $71,839,917 million in net assets with 3,612 shareholder accounts as of December 31, 2023.

The Fund had a total return of 8.14% (gross of fees) for fiscal year ended December 31, 2023. This compares to the 5.53% returned by its benchmark, the Bloomberg U.S. Aggregate Index, for the same period.

The material factors that affected the Fund were market direction and security selection. The Fund’s outperformance relative to its benchmark was principally due to the performance of the preferred stock holdings within the portfolio, which are not prevalent in the benchmark. The preferred stock holdings within the Fund had a total return of approximately 10% for 2023. The Fund does not rely on derivatives or leverage strategies. The value of the Fund and the securities may be adversely affected by impacts caused by COVID-19 and other epidemics and pandemics that may arise in the future.

Including the sales charge and expenses, as of December 31, 2023, the Fund’s one year return was 1.86%. The Fund, which began operations in January 2009, had an annualized five year return of 1.93% and an annualized return since inception of 5.40%.

We plan to proceed with the same game plan we have employed since the Fund began: pursuing a balance between yield and risk with a focus on quality.

Market Commentary

The utilities sector pulled back in 2023 as investors shifted their favor away from defensive stocks (which shined in 2022) and toward mega-cap growth companies. Gains in the S&P 500 were largely driven by a handful of companies in the technology and communication sectors. But past performance is never a guarantee of future results, and investors should remember that the upside of poor performance is often lower valuations. By late 2023, valuations among utilities stocks had fallen significantly lower and the sector was trading at one of its largest discounts to the S&P in the past 20 years.

Fund Summary

The Spirit of America Utilities Fund’s, SOAUX (the “Fund”) objective is to maximize total return while providing investors a combination of current income and capital appreciation by investing in a diversified portfolio of securities of U.S based utility and utility related companies.

At the end of 2023, the majority of the Fund’s investments are in the electric utility sector engaged in providing electricity to homes and businesses. The Fund also invested a percentage in multi-utility companies, independent power producers, water utilities, gas utilities, renewable electric companies, oil & gas storage & transportation companies as well as environmental & facilities services.

We invest the old-fashioned way – utilizing hard work, intensive research, and intuitive decisions. Our decisions are based on the experience of our dedicated team of professionals.

Return Summary

The Fund’s Net Asset Value went from $20.00 to $17.48 during 2023. The Fund is currently at $14,468,545 million in net assets with 310 shareholder accounts as of December 31, 2023.

The Fund had a total return of (2.80%) (gross of fees) since inception of January 31, 2023 for year ended December 31, 2023. This compares to the (5.19%) returned by its benchmark, the S&P 500 Utilities Index, for the same period.

The material factors that affected the Fund were market direction and security selection. The Fund’s outperformance relative to its benchmark was principally due to individual stock selection and the management of the Fund’s cash position. When equity markets experience downward pressure, cash positions can act as a buffer against those market trends. The Fund does not rely on derivatives or leverage strategies. The value of the Fund and the securities may be adversely affected by impacts caused by COVID-19 and other epidemics and pandemics that may arise in the future.

Including the sales charge and expenses, as of December 31, 2023, the Fund had a return of (9.67%) since inception.

We plan to proceed with the same game plan we have employed since the Fund began: Seeking out quality U.S. based utility companies with strong fundamentals and attractive valuations while providing investors a combination of current income and capital appreciation.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS | DECEMBER 31, 2023

Note 1 – Organization

Spirit of America Investment Fund, Inc. (the “Company”), is an open-end management investment company registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”). The Company was incorporated under the laws of Maryland on May 15, 1997. The Company offers 6 separate series, or mutual funds (the “Spirit of America Funds”), each with its own investment objective and strategy. This report includes the following funds, each operating as a diversified fund as defined by the 1940 Act (individually, a “Fund”, or collectively, the “Funds”):

Spirit of America Real Estate Income and Growth Fund (the “Real Estate Income and Growth Fund”) commenced operations on January 9, 1998. The Real Estate Income and Growth Fund seeks current income and growth of capital by investing in equity real estate investment trusts (“REITs”) and the equity securities of real estate industry companies.

Spirit of America Large Cap Value Fund (the “Large Cap Value Fund”) commenced operations on August 1, 2002. The Large Cap Value Fund seeks capital appreciation with a secondary objective of current income by investing in equity securities in the large cap value segment of the U.S. equity market.

Spirit of American Municipal Tax Free Bond Fund (the “Municipal Tax Free Bond Fund”) commenced operations on February 29, 2008. The Municipal Tax Free Bond Fund seeks high current income that is exempt from federal income tax, including the alternative minimum tax (“AMT”), investing at least 80% of its assets in municipal bonds.

Spirit of America Income Fund (the “Income Fund”) commenced operations on December 31, 2008. The Income Fund seeks high current income, investing at least 80% of its assets in a portfolio of taxable municipal bonds, income producing convertible securities, preferred stocks, high yield U.S. corporate bonds (frequently called “junk” bonds), and collateralized mortgage obligations (“CMOs”).

Spirit of America Utilities Fund (the “Utilities Fund”) commenced operations on January 31, 2023. The Utilities Fund seeks current income and capital appreciation by investing at least 80% of its net assets plus any borrowings in a combination of securities and other assets of utility and utility related companies.

Each Fund currently offers Class A Shares, Class C Shares and Institutional Shares. Each class of shares for each Fund has identical rights and privileges except with respect to distribution (12b-1) and service fees, voting rights on matters affecting a single class of shares, exchange privileges of each class of shares and sales charges. The price at which the Funds will offer or redeem shares is the net asset value (“NAV”) per share next determined after the order is considered received, subject to any applicable front end or contingent deferred sales charges. Class A Shares have a maximum sales charge on purchases of 5.25% for the Real Estate Income and Growth Fund and Large Cap Value Fund, 4.75% for the Municipal Tax Free Bond Fund and Income Fund, and 5.75% for the Utilities Fund, as a percentage of the original purchase price. A Contingent Deferred Sales Charge (“CDSC”) of 1.00% may be imposed on redemptions of $1 million or more of Class A Shares that were purchased within one year of the redemption date where an indirect commission was paid. CDSC on Class C Shares applies to shares sold within 13 months of purchase.

Note 2 – Significant Accounting Policies

Each Fund is an investment company and follows accounting and reporting guidance under Financial Accounting Standards Board Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 946, “Financial Services-Investment Companies”. The following is a summary of significant accounting policies consistently followed by the Funds in the preparation of their financial statements. These policies are in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“GAAP”) for investment companies.

Regulatory Update – Tailored Shareholder Reports for Mutual Funds and Exchange-Traded Funds (“ETFs”) – Effective January 24, 2023, the Securities and Exchange Commission adopted rule and form amendments to require mutual funds and ETFs to transmit concise and visually engaging streamlined annual and semiannual reports to shareholders that highlight key information. Other information, including financial statements, will no longer appear in a streamlined shareholder report but must be available online, delivered free of charge upon request, and filed on a semiannual basis on Form N-CSR. The rule and form amendments have a compliance date of July 24, 2024. At this time, management is evaluating the impact of these amendments on the shareholder reports for the Funds.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONT.) | DECEMBER 31, 2023

A. Security Valuation: The offering price and NAV per share for the Funds are calculated as of the close of regular trading on the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”), currently 4:00 p.m., Eastern Time on each day the NYSE is open for trading. Each Fund’s securities are valued at the official close or the last reported sales price on the principal exchange on which the security trades, or if no sales price is reported, the mean of the latest bid and ask prices is used. Securities traded over-the-counter are priced at the mean of the latest bid and ask prices. Unlisted securities traded in the over-the-counter market are valued using an evaluated quote provided by the independent pricing service, or, if an evaluated quote is unavailable, such securities are valued using prices received from dealers, provided that if the dealer supplies both bid and ask prices, the price to be used is the mean of the bid and ask prices. The independent pricing service derives an evaluated quote by obtaining dealer quotes, analyzing the listed markets, reviewing trade execution data and employing sensitivity analysis. Evaluated quotes may also reflect appropriate factors such as individual characteristics of the issue, communications with broker-dealers, and other market data. Pursuant to Rule 2a-5 under the 1940 Act, the Company’s Board of Directors (the “Board”) has designated Spirit of America Management Corp., the Company’s investment adviser, as the Company’s Valuation Designee, to perform any fair value determinations for securities and other assets held by the Funds for which market quotations are not readily available in accordance with the Company’s Valuation Procedures.

B. Fair Value Measurements: Various inputs are used in determining the fair value of investments which are as follows:

●	Level 1 –	Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical investments and/or registered investment companies where the value per share is determined and published and is the basis for current transactions for identical assets or liabilities at the valuation date.

●	Level 2 –	Observable inputs other than quoted prices included in level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly. These inputs may include quoted prices for the identical instrument on an inactive market, prices for similar instruments, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, yield curves, default rates and similar data.

●	Level 3 –	Unobservable inputs based on the best information available in the circumstances, to the extent observable inputs are not available (including each Fund’s own assumptions used in determining the fair value of investments).

The summary of inputs used to value each Fund’s net assets as of December 31, 2023 is as follows:

Refer to Schedule of Investments for sector/industry classification.

In the absence of a listed price quote, or a supplied price quote which is deemed to be unrepresentative of the actual market price, Spirit of America Management Corp. shall use any or all of the following criteria to value Level 3 securities:

●

Last sales price

●

Price given by pricing service

●

Last quoted bid & asked price

●

Third party bid & asked price

●

Indicated opening range

The significant unobservable inputs that may be used in the fair value measurement of a Fund’s investments in common stock, corporate bonds and convertible corporate bonds for which market quotations are not readily available include: broker quotes, discounts from the most recent trade or “stale price” and estimates from trustees (in bankruptcies) on disbursements. A change in the assumption used for each of the inputs listed above may indicate a directionally similar change in the fair value of the investment.

Investment Income and Securities Transactions: Security transactions are accounted for on the date the securities are purchased or sold (trade date) for financial reporting purposes. Cost is determined and gains and losses are based on the identified cost basis for both financial statement and federal income tax purposes. Dividend income and distributions to shareholders are reported on the ex-dividend date. Interest income and expenses are accrued daily.

C. Federal Income Taxes: The Funds intend to comply with all requirements of the Internal Revenue Code applicable to regulated investment companies and to distribute substantially all of its taxable income to its shareholders. Therefore, no federal income tax provision is required.

D. Use of Estimates: In preparing financial statements in conformity with GAAP, management makes estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, as well as the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

E. Distributions to Shareholders: The Funds intend to distribute substantially all of their net investment income and capital gains to shareholders each year. The Real Estate Income and Growth Fund intends to pay two semi-annual income dividends and other distributions on June 30 and December 31 in the annual minimum amount of $0.85 per share. The Large Cap Value Fund intends to pay two semi-annual income dividends and other distributions on June 30 and December 31 in the annual minimum amount of $1.40 per share. The Utilities Fund intends to pay two semi-annual income dividends and other distributions on June 30 and December 31. For the Income Fund and Municipal Tax Free Bond Fund, income distributions will typically be declared daily and paid monthly. Capital gains, if any, for all of the Funds, will be distributed annually in December, but may be distributed more frequently if deemed advisable by the Board. All such distributions are taxable to the shareholders whether received in cash or reinvested in shares.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONT.) | DECEMBER 31, 2023

The Real Estate Income and Growth Fund and Large Cap Value Fund have made certain investments in REITs which pay distributions to their shareholders based upon available funds from operations. Each REIT reports annually the tax character of its distributions. It is quite common for these distributions to exceed the REIT’s taxable earnings and profits resulting in the excess portion of such distributions being designated as a return of capital or long-term capital gain. The Funds intend to include the gross distributions from such REITs in their distributions to their shareholders; accordingly, a portion of the distributions paid to the Funds and subsequently distributed to shareholders may be re-characterized based on the prior calendar year’s actual reported return of capital. The final determination of the amount of each Fund’s return of capital distribution for the period will be made after the end of each calendar year.

F. Allocation of Income, Expenses, Gains and Losses. Expenses incurred by the Company that do not relate to a specific fund of the Company are allocated to the individual funds by or under the direction of the Board in such a manner as the Board determine to be fair and equitable. Income, expenses (other than those attributable to a specific class), gains and losses are allocated on a daily basis to each class of shares based upon the relative proportion of net assets represented by such class. Operating expenses directly attributable to a specific class are charged against the operations of that class.

Note 3 – Derivative Transactions

Written Options Contracts – The Real Estate Income and Growth Fund and Large Cap Value Fund may write options contracts for which premiums received are recorded as liabilities and are subsequently adjusted to the current value of the options written. Premiums received from writing options which expire are treated as realized gains. Premiums received from writing options which are either exercised or closed are offset against the proceeds received or the amount paid on the transaction to determine realized gains or losses. Investing in written options contracts exposes a Fund to equity price risk.

The Funds did not use derivatives for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2023.

Note 4 – Purchases and Sales of Securities

Purchases and proceeds from the sales of securities for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2023, excluding short-term investments and U.S. government obligations, were as follows:

Fund	Purchases		Sales
Real Estate Income and Growth Fund	$	3,438,538	$	21,810,753

Income Fund		1,550,669		9,792,993
Utilities Fund		14,060,914		—

There were no purchases or sales of long-term U.S. Government Obligations during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2023.

Note 5 – Investment Management Fee and Other Transactions with Affiliates

Spirit of America Management Corp. (the “Adviser”) has been retained to act as the Company’s investment adviser pursuant to an Investment Advisory Agreement (the “Advisory Agreement”).

The waiver does not include front end or contingent deferred loads, taxes, interest, dividend expenses, brokerage commissions or expenses incurred in connection with any merger, reorganization, or extraordinary expenses such as litigation. Additionally, for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2023, the Adviser waived advisory fees, as indicated:

The Funds’ Class A Shares and Class C Shares have adopted a plan of distribution pursuant to Rule 12b-1 (the “Plan”). The Plan permits each Fund’s Class A Shares and Class C Shares to pay David Lerner Associates, Inc. (the “Distributor”) an annual fee, accrued daily and paid monthly based on each Class of each Fund’s average daily net assets for the Distributor’s services and expenses in distributing shares of each Fund and providing personal services and/or maintaining shareholder accounts. For the fiscal year ended December 31, 2023, the annual fee rate and the fees paid to the Distributor under the Plan were as follows:

Each Fund’s Class A Shares are subject to an initial sales charge imposed at the time of purchase, in accordance with the Fund’s current prospectus. A CDSC of 1.00% may be imposed on redemptions of $1 million or more of Class A Shares that were purchased within one year of the redemption date where an indirect commission was paid. CDSC on Class C Shares applies to shares sold within 13 months of purchase. For the fiscal year ended December 31, 2023, sales charges received by the Distributor from each of the Funds were as follows:

	Front-End Sales		CDSC Fees

Certain Officers and Directors of the Company are “affiliated persons”, as that term is defined in the 1940 Act, of the Adviser or the Distributor. Each Director of the Company, who is not an affiliated person of the Adviser or Distributor, receives a quarterly retainer of $6,000, $1,500 for each Board meeting attended, $500 for each special meeting attended, and $500 for each committee meeting attended plus reimbursement for certain travel and other out-of-pocket expenses incurred in connection with attending Board meetings. The Company does not compensate the Officers for the services they provide. There are no Directors’ fees paid to Interested Directors of the Company. For the fiscal year ended December 31, 2023, the Funds were allocated $14,421 of the Chief Compliance Officer’s salary.

Note 6 – Concentration and Other Risks

The performance of the Municipal Tax Free Bond Fund and Income Fund could be adversely affected by interest rate risk, which is the possibility that overall bond prices will decline because of rising interest rates. Interest rate risk is expected to be high for these Funds because they invest mainly in long-term bonds, whose prices are much more sensitive to interest fluctuations than are the prices of short-term bonds.

The Municipal Tax Free Bond Fund and Income Fund may be affected by credit risk, which is the possibility that the issuer of a bond will fail to pay interest and principal in a timely manner, or that negative perceptions of the issuer’s ability to make such payments will cause the price of that bond to decline. This risk may be greater to the extent that these Funds may invest in taxable fixed income or municipal securities rated below investment grade, or unrated of similar quality (frequently called “junk bonds”).

The Municipal Tax Free Bond Fund and Income Fund may be affected by credit risk of lower grade securities, which is the possibility that junk bonds may be subject to greater price fluctuations and risks of loss of income and principal than investment-grade taxable fixed income or municipal securities. Securities that are (or that have fallen) below investment-grade have a greater risk that the issuers may not meet their debt obligations. These types of securities are generally considered speculative in relation to the issuer’s ongoing ability to make principal and interest payments. During periods of rising interest rates or economic downturn, the trading market for these securities may not be active and may reduce the Funds’ ability to sell these securities at an acceptable price. If the issuer of securities is in default in payment of interest or principal, a Fund may lose its entire investment in those securities.

The Real Estate Income and Growth Fund invests primarily in real estate related securities. A fund that concentrates its investments among fewer sectors is subject to greater risk of loss than a fund that has more sector diversification. Investments in real estate and real estate-related equity securities involve risks different from, and in certain cases greater than, the risks presented by equity securities generally. The main risks are those presented by direct ownership of real estate or real estate industry securities, including possible declines in the value of real estate, environmental problems and changes in interest rates. To the extent that assets underlying the Fund’s investments are concentrated geographically, by property type or in certain other respects, the Fund may be subject to these risks to a greater extent. The stocks purchased by the Fund may not appreciate in value as the Adviser anticipates. In addition, if the Fund receives rental income or income from the disposition of real property acquired as a result of a default on securities the Fund owns, its ability to retain its tax status as a regulated investment company may be adversely affected.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONT.) | DECEMBER 31, 2023

The Large Cap Value Fund and Utilities Fund may, at times, concentrate their investments in a particular sector, such as technology or utilities, if the Adviser believes stocks in that particular sector are performing more favorably. If the Funds invest a significant portion of their total assets in certain sectors, their investment portfolios will be more susceptible to the financial, economic, business, and political developments that affect those sectors.

Other risks to the Funds may include income risk, liquidity risk, prepayment risk on collateralized mortgage obligations, municipal project specific risk, municipal lease obligation risk, zero coupon securities risk, market risk, manager risk, taxability risk, state-specific risk and exchange-traded funds risk. The Funds’ prospectus contains more information regarding these risks and other risks related to the Funds as well as other information about the Funds, and should be read carefully before investing.

Note 7 – Restricted Securities

Restricted securities are securities that may only be resold upon registration under federal securities laws or in transactions exempt from such registration. In some cases, the issuer of restricted securities has agreed to register such securities for resale, at the issuer’s expense, either upon demand by the Funds or in connection with another registered offering of the securities. Many restricted securities may be resold in the secondary market in transactions exempt from registration. Such restricted securities may be determined to be liquid. The Funds will not incur any registration costs upon such resale. The Funds’ restricted securities are valued at the price provided by dealers in the secondary market or, if no market prices are available, at the fair value as determined by the Board. At December 31, 2023, the Income Fund held illiquid restricted securities representing 3% of net assets, as listed below:

Issuer Description	Acquisition	Principal
Corporate Bonds	Date	Amount		Cost		Value
Exelon Generation Co. LLC, 5.60%, 6/15/2042	7/12/2012	$	400,000	$	417,862	$	360,305
MetLife Inc., 9.25%, 4/8/2038	6/4/2013		1,500,000		2,098,436		1,686,616

Note 8 – Federal Income Taxes

The adjusted cost basis of investment and gross unrealized appreciation and depreciation of investments for federal income tax purposes for each of the Funds as of December 31, 2023, were as follows:

						Net
	Gross		Gross			Unrealized
	Unrealized		Unrealized			Appreciation/			Cost Basis of
Fund	Appreciation		Depreciation			(Depreciation)¹			Investments
Real Estate Income and Growth Fund	$	18,024,276	$	(4,174,309	)	$	13,849,967		$	62,951,909
Large Cap Value Fund		78,245,460		(1,260,557	)		76,984,903			73,860,574
Municipal Tax Free Bond Fund		196,600		(614,256	)		(417,656	)		35,193,636
Income Fund		3,288,866		(6,850,440	)		(3,561,574	)		75,102,551
Utilities Fund		369,543		(859,307	)		(489,764	)		14,929,725

The difference between book-basis and tax-basis net unrealized appreciation/(depreciation) is primarily due to wash sales, tax treatment of Trust Preferred securities and partnership investments.

The tax character of distributions paid by each of the Funds for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2023, was as follows:

	Ordinary		Tax-Exempt		Net Long-Term		Return of		Total

Municipal Tax Free Bond Fund	$	2,781,584	$	7,110,288	$	9,891,872

Management of the Funds have reviewed tax positions taken in tax years that remain subject to examination by all major tax jurisdictions, including federal (i.e., the last three tax year ends and the interim tax period since then). Management believes there is no tax liability resulting from unrecognized tax benefits related to uncertain tax positions taken.

Note 9 – Reclassification

Permanent differences, incurred during the year ended December 31, 2023, resulting from differences in book and tax accounting have been reclassified at year end to accumulated earnings and paid-in capital as follows:

In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Funds as of December 31, 2023, the results of their operations, the changes in their net assets, and their financial highlights for each of the periods indicated in the table below, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Basis for Opinion

These financial statements are the responsibility of the Funds’ management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Funds’ financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (“PCAOB”) and are required to be independent with respect to the Funds in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB. We have served as the Funds’ auditor since 1998.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Funds are not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of their internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audits we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Funds’ internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM (CONT.)

Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of December 31, 2023 by correspondence with the custodian. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

DISCLOSURE OF FUND EXPENSES (UNAUDITED)

FOR THE SIX-MONTH PERIOD JULY 1, 2023 THROUGH DECEMBER 31, 2023

We believe it is important for you to understand the impact of fees regarding your investment. All mutual funds have operating expenses. As a shareholder of a Fund, you incur ongoing costs, which include costs for portfolio management, administrative services, and shareholder reports (like this one), among others. Operating expenses, which are deducted from the Fund’s gross income, directly reduce the investment return of the Fund.

Each Fund’s expenses are expressed as a percentage of its average net assets. This figure is known as the expense ratio. The following examples are intended to help you understand the ongoing fees (in dollars) of investing in a Fund and to compare these costs with those of other mutual funds. The examples are based on an investment of $1,000 made at the beginning of the period and held for the six-month period from July 1, 2023 through December 31, 2023.

Actual Fund Return: This section helps you to estimate the actual expenses that you paid over the period. The “Ending Account Value” shown is derived from the Fund’s actual return, the third column shows the period’s annualized expense ratio, and the last column shows the dollar amount that would have been paid by an investor who started with $1,000 in the Fund at the beginning of the period. You may use the information here, together with your account value, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period.

To do so, simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the first line under the heading entitled “Expenses Paid During the Period.”

Hypothetical 5% Return: This section is intended to help you compare a Fund’s costs with those of other mutual funds. It assumes that the Fund had a return of 5% before expenses during the period shown, but that the expense ratio is unchanged. In this case, because the return used is not the Fund’s actual return, the results do not apply to your investment. You can assess the Fund’s costs by comparing this hypothetical example with the hypothetical examples that appear in shareholder reports of other funds.

Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transactional costs such as sales charges (loads), or redemption fees.

The annualized expense ratios reflect reimbursement/recoupment of expenses by the Funds’ Adviser for the period beginning July 1, 2023 to December 31, 2023. The Financial Highlights tables in the Funds’ financial statements, included in this report, also show the gross expense ratios, without such reimbursements.

Pre-Approval Requirements. The Committee shall pre-approve all auditing services and permissible non-audit services (e.g., tax services) to be provided to the Company by the Auditor, including the fees therefor. The Committee may delegate to one or more of its members the authority to grant pre-approvals. In connection with such delegation, the Committee shall establish pre-approval policies and procedures, including the requirement that the decisions of any member to whom authority is delegated under this section (B) shall be presented to the full Committee at each of its scheduled meetings.

De Minimis Exception to Pre-Approval: Pre-approval for a permitted non-audit service shall not be required if:

the aggregate amount of all such non-audit services is not more than 5% of the total revenues paid by the Company to the Auditor in the fiscal year in which the non-audit services are provided;

such services were not recognized by the Company at the time of the engagement to be non-audit services; and

such services are promptly brought to the attention of the Committee and approved prior to the completion of the audit by the Committee or by one or more members of the Committee to whom authority to grant such approvals has been delegated by the Committee.

Additionally, the Committee shall pre-approve the Auditor’s engagements for non-audit services with the Adviser and any affiliate of the Adviser that provides ongoing services to the Company in accordance with the foregoing, if the engagement relates directly to the operations and financial reporting of the Company, unless the aggregate amount of all services provided constitutes no more than 5% of the total amount of revenues paid to the Auditor by the Company, the Adviser and any affiliate of the Adviser that provides ongoing services to the Company during the fiscal year in which the services are provided that would have to be pre-approved by the Committee pursuant to this paragraph (without regard to this exception).

(h) The registrant’s audit committee of the board of directors has considered whether the provision of non-audit services that were rendered to the registrant’s investment adviser (not including any sub-adviser whose role is primarily portfolio management and is subcontracted with or overseen by another investment adviser), and any entity controlling, controlled by, or under common control with the investment adviser that provides ongoing services to the registrant that were not pre-approved pursuant to paragraph (c)(7)(ii) of Rule 2-01 of Regulation S-X is compatible with maintaining the principal accountant’s independence.
