TO OUR STOCKHOLDERS

 

    

  

 

June 30, 2025 

 

 

Dear Fellow Stockholders:

It is a pleasure to welcome each of our new stockholders to Foxby Corp. (the “Fund”) and to submit this Semi-Annual Report. The Fund seeks to achieve its investment objective of total return by exercising a flexible strategy in the selection of securities, and is not limited by the issuer’s location, size, or market capitalization. The Fund may invest in equity and fixed income securities of new and seasoned U.S. and foreign issuers, including securities convertible into common stock, debt securities, futures, options, derivatives, and other instruments. The Fund also may employ aggressive and speculative investment techniques, such as selling securities short and borrowing money for investment purposes, a practice known as “leveraging,” and may invest defensively in short term, liquid, high grade securities and money market instruments. Of course, there can be no assurance that the Fund will achieve its objective.

Economic and Market Report

According to the minutes of the June 2025 Federal Open Market Committee (“FOMC”) meeting, the FOMC staff’s review of the economic situation indicates that “consumer price inflation remained somewhat elevated,” estimated to be 2.3% in May 2025, as measured by the 12-month change in the Personal Consumption Expenditures price index. However, the unemployment rate continued to be low, at 4.2% in May 2025, and the staff noted that “labor market conditions were solid.” Indicators suggest that real GDP was expanding at a solid pace in the 2nd quarter.

Turning to financial markets, indicators suggested that Treasury yields rose modestly in the intermeeting period, up 15-20 basis points, with shorter-maturity yields reflecting the upward shift in the expected policy rate path, while longer-maturity yields “appeared to reflect, in part, market participants’ increased financial concerns.” Additionally, equity prices increased as markets were attentive to the de-escalation of trade tensions, weaker-than-expected economic data releases, and prospects for fiscal expansion.

Recent indicators suggest that economic activity has continued to expand at a solid pace, unemployment remains low, and labor market conditions remain solid. However, inflation still remains somewhat elevated. According to the FOMC, “uncertainty about the economic outlook has diminished but remains elevated.” Accordingly, we anticipate improved market conditions but we believe investors should continue to remain wary and expect periods of market volatility.

Investment Strategy and Returns

In view of these economic and market developments, the Fund’s strategy in the past year was to seek companies with growing operations showing superior returns on assets with moderate debt, generating free cash flow, and trading at reasonable valuations. Generally, the Fund purchased and held equity securities of profitable, conservatively valued companies in seeking to achieve its investment objective of total return and sold investments that appeared to have appreciated to levels reflecting full or over-valuation.

For the six months ended June 30, 2025, the Fund’s net investment loss, net realized loss on investments, and increase in unrealized appreciation on investments were, respectively, $164,631, $149,610, and $1,568,195, which contributed materially to the Fund’s net asset value return of 9.30%. Losses were taken on, among others, International Seaways, Inc. in the water transportation industry. The Fund’s holdings of UnitedHealth Group Incorporated in the insurance carriers industry contributed to unrealized depreciation during the period. At the same time, the Fund benefited from unrealized appreciation by its investment in, among others, OceanaGold Corp. in the metal mining industry. At period end the Fund’s top holding, Alphabet Inc. Class A, in the computer programming, data processing industry, comprised about 12% of net assets.

The Fund’s market return for the first half of 2025 was (4.08%). Generally, the Fund’s total return on a market value basis will be lower than the total return on a net asset value basis in periods when there is an increase in the discount or a decrease in the premium of the market value of the net asset value, from the beginning to the end of such periods. For comparison, in the same period, the S&P 500 Index total return was 6.20%, which is unmanaged and does not reflect fees and expenses, nor is it available for direct investment. At June 30, 2025, the Fund’s portfolio included securities of over 25 different issuers, with the top ten securities amounting to approximately 69% of net assets. At that time, the Fund’s investments totaled approximately $17.9 million on net assets of approximately $14.8 million and leverage of approximately $3.1 million. As the Fund pursues its investment objective of total return, these holdings and allocations are subject to change at any time.

The website also has links to U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) filings, performance, tax, and daily net asset value reporting.

Management’s Long Term Focus

Sincerely,

Financial Statements 

 

 

1. ORGANIZATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES Foxby Corp. (the “Fund”), a Maryland corporation registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “Company Act”), is a non-diversified, closed end management investment company whose shares are quoted over the counter under the stock symbol FXBY. The Fund’s non-fundamental investment objective is total return which it may seek from growth of capital and from income in any security type and in any industry sector. The Fund retains Midas Management Corporation (the “Investment Manager”) as its investment manager.

As an investment company, the Fund follows the accounting and reporting guidance of the Financial Accounting Standards Board Accounting Standard Codification Topic 946 “Financial Services – Investment Companies.” The financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”), which require management to make certain estimates and assumptions at the date of the financial statements. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Subsequent events, if any, through the date that the financial statements were issued have been evaluated in the preparation of the financial statements. The following summarizes the significant accounting policies of the Fund:

Valuation of Investments – Portfolio securities are valued by various methods depending on the primary market or exchange on which they trade. Most equity securities for which the primary market is in the United States are usually valued at the official closing price, last sale price or, if no sale has occurred, at the closing bid price. Most equity securities for which the primary market is outside the United States are usually valued using the official closing price or the last sale price in the principal market in which they are traded. If the last sale price on the local exchange is unavailable, the last evaluated quote or closing bid price normally is used. In the event of an unexpected closing of the primary market or exchange, a security may continue to trade on one or more other markets, and the price as reflected on those other trading venues may be more reflective of the security’s value than an earlier price from the primary market or exchange. Accordingly, the Fund may seek to use these additional sources of pricing data or information when prices from the primary market or exchange are unavailable, or are earlier and less representative of current market value. Certain debt securities may be priced through pricing services that may utilize a matrix pricing system which takes into consideration factors such as yields, prices, maturities, call features, and ratings on comparable securities or according to prices quoted by a securities dealer that offers pricing services. Open end investment companies are valued at their net asset value (“NAV”). Foreign securities markets may be open on days when the U.S. markets are closed.

For this reason, the value of any foreign securities owned by the Fund could change on a day when stockholders cannot buy or sell shares of the Fund. Although the Fund’s Board of Directors (the “Board”) may choose to determine fair value in good faith for any or all fund investments by carrying out the required functions itself, pursuant to Rule 2a-5 under the Company Act, the Board currently has chosen to designate the performance of fair value determinations to a valuation designee, the Investment Manager, subject to the Board’s oversight with respect to securities for which market quotations are not readily available and reliable and other assets, called “fair value pricing.” Due to the inherent uncertainty of valuation, fair value pricing values may differ from the values that would have been used had a readily available and reliable market quotation for the securities existed. These differences in valuation could be material. A security’s valuation may differ depending on the method used for determining value. The use of fair value pricing may cause the NAV of its shares to differ from the NAV that would be calculated using market prices. A fair value price is an estimate and there is no assurance that such price will be at or close to the price at which a security is next quoted or traded.

Cash – Cash may include deposits allocated among banks insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”) in amounts up to the insurance coverage maximum amount of $250,000. Cash may also include uninvested cash balances held by the Fund’s custodian.

Foreign Currency Translation – Securities denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollars at prevailing exchange rates. Realized gain or loss on sales of such investments in local currency terms is reported separately from gain or loss attributable to a change in foreign exchange rates for those investments.

Derivatives – The Fund may use derivatives for a variety of reasons, such as to attempt to protect against possible changes in the value of its portfolio holdings or to generate potential gain. Derivatives are financial instruments that derive their values from other securities or commodities, or that are based on indices. Derivative instruments are marked to market with the change in value reflected in unrealized appreciation or depreciation. Upon disposition, a realized gain or loss is recognized accordingly, except when taking delivery of a security underlying a contract. In these instances, the recognition of gain or loss is postponed until the disposal of the security underlying the contract. Risk may arise as a result of the potential inability of the counter-parties to meet the terms of their contracts. Derivative instruments include written options, purchased options, futures contracts, forward foreign currency exchange contracts, and swap agreements.

Investments in Other Investment Companies – The Fund may invest in shares of other investment companies such as closed end funds, exchange traded funds, and mutual funds (each, an “Acquired Fund”) in accordance with the Company Act and related rules. Stockholders in the Fund bear the pro rata portion of the fees and expenses of an Acquired Fund in addition to the Fund’s expenses. Expenses incurred by the Fund that are disclosed in the Statement of Operations do not include fees and expenses incurred by an Acquired Fund. The fees and expenses of an Acquired Fund are reflected in such Acquired Fund’s total return.

Investment Transactions – Investment transactions are accounted for on the trade date (the date the order to buy or sell is executed). Realized gains or losses are determined by specifically identifying the cost basis of the investment sold.

Investment Income – Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date, or in the case of certain foreign securities and private company securities, as soon as practicable after the Fund is notified. Interest income is recorded on the accrual basis. Amortization of premium and accretion of discount on corporate bonds and notes are included in interest income. Taxes withheld on foreign dividends have been provided for in accordance with the Fund’s understanding of the applicable country’s tax rules and rates.

Expenses – Expenses deemed to have been incurred solely by the Fund are normally charged to the Fund in the entirety. Expenses deemed to have been incurred by the Fund and one or more of the other investment companies for which the Investment Manager or its affiliates serve as investment manager, or other related entities, are generally allocated based on the most practicable method deemed equitable at the time the expense is incurred, including, without limitation, on the basis of relative assets under management. The Fund may take advantage of payment discounts offered by certain vendors. Such credits realized typically are used to reduce expenses. Credits realized by the Fund during the period, if any, are shown as a reduction of total expenses in the Statement of Operations.

Distributions to Stockholders – Distributions to stockholders are determined in accordance with income tax regulations and are recorded on the ex-dividend date.

Income Taxes – No provision has been made for U.S. income taxes because the Fund’s current intention is to continue to qualify as a regulated investment company under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “IRC”), and to distribute to its stockholders substantially all of its taxable income and net realized gains. The Fund recognizes the tax benefits of uncertain

tax positions only where the position is “more likely than not” to be sustained assuming examination by tax authorities. The Fund has reviewed its tax positions and has concluded that no liability for unrecognized tax benefits should be recorded related to uncertain tax positions taken on federal, state, and local income tax returns for open tax years (2022-2024) or expected to be taken in the Fund’s 2025 tax returns.

The Fund may be subject to foreign taxation related to certain securities held by the Fund, income received, capital gains on the sale of securities, and currency transactions. Foreign taxes, if any, are recorded in accordance with the Fund’s understanding of the applicable country’s tax rules and rates. When a capital gain tax is determined to apply, the Fund records an estimated deferred tax liability in an amount that would be payable if the securities were disposed of on the valuation date.

Operating Segments – The Fund operates and is managed as a single reportable segment with the non-fundamental investment objective of total return. The chief operating decision maker (“CODM”) of the Fund is the President and Portfolio Manager. The financial information in the form of the Fund’s portfolio composition, total returns, changes in net assets and expense ratios, which are used by the CODM to assess the Fund’s performance and to make operational decisions for the Fund’s single segment, is consistent with that presented within the Fund’s financial statements. Segment assets are reflected on the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities as “net assets” and significant segment expenses are listed on the accompanying statement of operations.

2. FEES AND TRANSACTIONS WITH RELATED PARTIES The Fund has retained the Investment Manager pursuant to an investment management agreement. Under the terms of the investment management agreement, the Investment Manager receives a fee payable monthly for investment advisory services at an annual rate of 0.95% of the Fund’s Managed Assets, which may include undistributed realized gains. “Managed Assets” means the average weekly value of the Fund’s total assets, minus the sum of the Fund’s liabilities, which liabilities exclude debt relating to leverage, short term debt, and the aggregate liquidation preference of any outstanding preferred stock.

Pursuant to the investment management agreement, the Fund reimburses the Investment Manager for providing at cost certain administrative services comprised of compliance and accounting services. For the six months ended June 30, 2025, the Fund’s reimbursements of such costs were $7,895, of which $4,670 and $3,225 was for compliance and accounting services, respectively. Certain officers and directors of the

Fund are officers and directors of the Investment Manager. As of June 30, 2025, affiliates of the Investment Manager owned approximately 24% of the Fund’s outstanding shares.

The Fund compensates each director who is not an employee of the Investment Manager or its affiliates. These directors receive fees for service as a director from the Fund and the other funds of which they are a director or trustee and for which the Investment Manager or its affiliates serve as investment manager. In addition, director out-of-pocket expenses are allocated to such funds which the Investment Manager or its affiliates serve as investment manager based on the most practicable method deemed equitable at the time the expense is incurred, including, without limitation, on the basis of relative assets under management. Expenses deemed to have been incurred solely by the Fund are normally charged to the Fund in the entirety.

The Fund leases storage from an affiliate at an annual cost of $10.

3. DISTRIBUTIONS TO STOCKHOLDERS AND DISTRIBUTABLE EARNINGS There were no distributions paid by the Fund for the six months ended June 30, 2025, and for the year ended December 31, 2024, the Fund paid a distribution of $907,880, comprised of net investment income of $36,990, capital gains of $794,348, and return of capital of $76,542.

As of December 31, 2024, the components of distributable earnings on a tax basis were as follows:

4. VALUE MEASUREMENTS GAAP establishes a hierarchy that prioritizes inputs to valuation methods. The three levels of inputs are:

Level 1 – unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities including securities actively traded on a securities exchange.

Level 2 – observable inputs other than quoted prices included in level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability which may include quoted prices for similar instruments, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, yield curves, default rates, and similar data.

Level 3 – unobservable inputs for the asset or liability including the Fund’s own assumptions about the assumptions a market participant would use in valuing the asset or liability.

The availability of observable inputs can vary from security to security and is affected by a wide variety of factors, including, for example, the type of security, whether the security is new and not yet established in the marketplace, the liquidity of markets, and other characteristics particular to the security. To the extent that valuation is based on models or inputs that are less observable or unobservable in the market, the determination of fair value requires more judgment. Accordingly, the degree of judgment exercised in determining fair value is greatest for investments categorized in level 3. The inputs used to measure fair value may fall into different levels of the fair value hierarchy. In such cases, the level in the fair value hierarchy within which the fair value measurement falls in its entirety is determined based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety. The inputs and methodology used for valuing investments are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities.

The following is a description of the valuation techniques applied to the Fund’s major categories of assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis:

Equity Securities (Common and Preferred Stock) – Most publicly traded equity securities are valued normally at the most recent official closing price, last sale price, evaluated quote, or closing bid price. To the extent these securities are actively traded and valuation adjustments are not applied, they may be categorized in level 1 of the fair value hierarchy. Equities on inactive markets or valued by reference to similar instruments may be categorized in level 2.

5. INVESTMENT TRANSACTIONS Purchases and proceeds from sales or maturities of investment securities, excluding short term investments, were $1,062,490 and $547,728, respectively, for the six months ended June 30, 2025. As of June 30, 2025, for federal income tax purposes, the aggregate cost of securities was $9,819,848 and net unrealized appreciation was $8,065,748, comprised of gross unrealized appreciation of $8,189,898 and gross unrealized depreciation of $124,150. The aggregate cost of securities for tax purposes will depend upon the Fund’s investment experience during the entirety of its fiscal year and may be subject to changes based on tax regulations.

6. CREDIT AGREEMENT The Fund entered into a revolving credit agreement and other related agreements (collectively, as amended, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Credit Agreement”) with The Huntington National Bank (“HNB”), the Fund’s custodian, under which HNB may make loans to the Fund in such amounts as the Fund may from time to time request. The maximum loan amount under the Credit Agreement is the lesser of: (i) $3,500,000 or (ii) 30% of the Fund’s daily market value, which market value may be decreased by the exclusion of certain Fund assets or asset classes, as HNB may decide from time to time in its sole discretion. The Fund pledges its securities and other assets as collateral to secure its obligations under the Credit Agreement and retains the risks and rewards of the ownership of such securities and other assets pledged.

Borrowings under the Credit Agreement bear an interest rate per annum to be applied to the principal balance outstanding, from time to time, equal to the Term Secured Overnight Financing Rate (SOFR) plus 1.28%. An unused fee is charged equal to 0.125% per annum of the daily excess of the maximum loan amount over the outstanding principal balance of the loan. The Fund was charged origination fees and expenses of $6,602 upon the annual renewal of the Credit Agreement and such cost is amortized ratably through June 10, 2026, the maturity date of the Credit Agreement.

The outstanding loan balance under the Credit Agreement was $3,071,600 as of June 30, 2025. The weighted average interest rate and average daily amount outstanding under the Credit Agreement for the six months ended June 30, 2025 were 5.70% and $2,806,545, respectively. The maximum amount outstanding during the six months ended June 30, 2025 was $3,122,000.

7. CAPITAL STOCK As of June 30, 2025, there were 521,716 shares of $.01 par value common stock outstanding and 500,000,000 shares authorized. There were no transactions in capital stock during the six months ended June 30, 2025 and year ended December 31, 2024, respectively.

8. SHARE REPURCHASE PROGRAM In accordance with Section 23(c) of the Company Act, the Fund may from time to time repurchase its shares in the open market at the discretion of and upon such terms as determined by the Board. The Fund did not repurchase any of its shares during the six months ended June 30, 2025 and year ended December 31, 2024, respectively.

9. PORTFOLIO CONCENTRATION The Fund operates as a “non-diversified” investment company under the Company Act, which means that the portion of the Fund’s assets that may be invested in the securities of a single issuer and the amount of the outstanding voting securities of a particular issuer held by the Fund are not limited by the Company Act. The Fund, however, currently intends to continue to conduct its operations so as to qualify as a “regulated investment company” for purposes of the IRC, which currently requires that, at the end of each quarter of the taxable year, with respect to 50% of the Fund’s total assets, the Fund limits to 5% the portion of its total assets invested in the securities of a single issuer. There are no such limitations with respect to the balance of the Fund’s portfolio, although no single investment can exceed 25% of a Fund’s total assets at the time of purchase. A more concentrated portfolio may cause the Fund’s NAV to be more volatile and thus may subject stockholders to more risk.

10. CONTINGENCIES The Fund indemnifies its officers and directors from certain liabilities that might arise from the performance of their duties for the Fund. Additionally, in the course of business, the Fund enters into contracts that contain a variety of representations and warranties and which may provide general indemnifications. The Fund’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as it involves future claims that may be made against the Fund under circumstances that have not occurred.

11. OTHER INFORMATION The Fund may at times raise cash for investment by issuing shares through one or more offerings, including rights offerings. Proceeds from any such offerings will be invested in accordance with the investment objective and policies of the Fund.

Total return on a market value basis is calculated assuming a purchase of common stock on the opening of the first day and a sale on the closing of the last day of each period reported. Dividends and distributions, if any, are assumed for purposes of this calculation to be reinvested at prices obtained under the Fund’s dividend reinvestment plan if in effect or, if there is no plan in effect, at the lower of the per share net asset value or the closing market price of the Fund’s shares on the dividend/distribution date. Generally, total return on a net asset value basis will be higher than total return on a market value basis in periods where there is an increase in the discount or a decrease in the premium of the market value to the net asset value from the beginning to the end of such periods. Conversely, total return on a net asset value basis will be lower than total return on a market value basis in periods where there is a decrease in the discount or an increase in the premium of the market value to the net asset value from the beginning to the end of such periods. The calculation does not reflect brokerage commissions, if any.

The ratio of net expenses excluding loan interest and fees from the use of leverage to average net assets was 2.38%* for the six months ended June 30, 2025, and 2.03%, 2.13%, 2.13%, 2.16%, and, 2.64% for the years ended December 31, 2024, 2023, 2022, 2021, and, 2020, respectively.

 

(5)

Represents the value of total assets less liabilities not represented by senior securities representing indebtedness divided by the total number of senior indebtedness units, where one unit equals $1,000 of senior indebtedness. For purposes of this calculation, the Credit Agreement is considered a senior security representing indebtedness.

BOARD APPROVAL OF INVESTMENT MANAGEMENT AGREEMENT

 

  

(Unaudited)

 


  

 

Financial Statements 

 

 

The renewal of the investment management agreement (“IMA”) between Foxby Corp. (“Fund”) and the investment manager, Midas Management Corporation (“Investment Manager”), was unanimously approved by the Fund’s Board of Directors (“Board”), including all of the Fund’s directors who are not “interested persons” of the Fund (“Independent Directors”) as defined under the Company Act at a meeting held on March 13, 2025 (“Meeting”). In considering the annual approval of the IMA, the Board considered a number of factors, including, among other things, information that had been provided at other meetings, as well as information furnished to the Board for the Meeting, both in the written materials as well as information otherwise provided by the Investment Manager during the Meeting. Such information included, among other things: information comparing the management fees and total expense ratio of the Fund with a peer group of broadly comparable funds as provided by Broadridge (“Broadridge”), an independent provider of investment company data, which uses information sourced from both Lipper and Morningstar as well as from company reports, financial reporting services, periodicals, and other sources; information regarding the Fund’s investment performance on an absolute basis and in comparison to, among other things, a relevant peer group of funds (“Peer Group”) and a benchmark index as provided by Broadridge; the economic outlook and the general investment outlook in relevant investment markets; the Investment Manager’s results of operations, financial condition and business reputation; the allocation of brokerage and the benefits received by the Investment Manager as a result of brokerage allocation, including, without limitation, soft dollars; the Investment Manager’s management of relationships with the Fund’s custodian, transfer agent, pricing agents, brokers, and other service providers to the Fund; the resources devoted to the Investment Manager’s compliance efforts undertaken on behalf of the Fund and the record of compliance with the compliance programs of the Fund, the Investment Manager, and its affiliates; the quality, nature, cost, and character of the administrative and other non-investment management services provided by the Investment Manager and its affiliates; the terms of the IMA; the Investment Manager’s gifts and entertainment log; the reasonableness and appropriateness of the fee paid by the Fund for the services described in the IMA and whether it represents a charge within the range of what would have been negotiated at arm’s length in light of the surrounding circumstances; the nature, extent, and quality of the investment management services provided by the Investment Manager; the fiduciary duty assumed by the Investment Manager in connection with the services rendered to the Fund; the character and amount of incidental or “fall-out” benefits (in addition to soft dollar benefits) received by the Investment Manager and its affiliates from its association with the Fund; and the extent to which economies of scale would be realized as the Fund grows and whether fee levels reflect these economies of scale for the benefit of Fund investors.

The Board also reviewed in detail and at length the Investment Manager’s responses to the Board’s request for certain information related to, among other things: the Investment Manager’s

general business, personnel, operations and financial condition; fees, profitability and the Investment Manager’s allocation of expenses in connection therewith, and financial information; trading information; Fund performance; how the soft dollar arrangements comport with applicable law; compliance and legal; and other related matters. The Board expressed its satisfaction with the Investment Manager’s responses to its request for such information.

In considering the nature, extent, and quality of the management services provided by the Investment Manager, the Board considered the Investment Manager’s management capabilities with respect to the types of investments held by the Fund, including information relating to the education, experience, and number of investment professionals and other personnel who provide services under the IMA. The Board also took into account the time and attention devoted by management to the Fund. In this regard, the Board noted that the Investment Manager is responsible for, among other things, overseeing the selection of investments for the Fund, making investment decisions for the Fund, monitoring the investment operations and composition of the Fund, and, in connection therewith, monitoring compliance with the Fund’s investment objective, policies, and restrictions, as well as the Fund’s compliance with applicable law; monitoring brokerage selection, commissions and other trading costs, quality of execution, and other brokerage matters; and implementing the Board’s directives as they relate to the Fund. Further, the Board considered that the Investment Manager’s responsibilities include daily monitoring of investment, operational, enterprise, legal, regulatory, and compliance risks as they relate to the Fund. The Board considered the portfolio management of the Fund, evaluated the level of skill required to manage the Fund and concluded that the resources available at the Investment Manager are appropriate to effectively fulfill its duties on behalf of the Fund. The Board also discussed the Investment Manager’s views with regard to succession planning. The Board noted that the Investment Manager has managed the Fund for several years and is, together with its affiliates, a substantial investor in the Fund. The Board indicated its belief that a long term relationship with capable, conscientious personnel is in the best interests of the Fund.

The Board received information concerning the investment philosophy and investment process applied by the Investment Manager in managing the Fund. In this regard, Mr. Thomas Winmill, as the portfolio manager of the Fund and Chairman of the Investment Policy Committee of the Investment Manager, stated that the investment philosophy and/or investment process applied in managing the Fund had not changed since the Board’s prior annual review of the IMA.

The Board also considered the Investment Manager’s in-house research capabilities as well as third-party resources available to the Investment Manager’s personnel, including research and brokerage services that may be available to the Investment

Manager as a result of securities transactions effected for the Fund. The Board concluded that the Investment Manager’s investment process, research capabilities, and philosophy were well suited to the Fund, given the Fund’s investment objective and policies.

In its review of comparative information with respect to the Fund’s investment performance, the Board received information from Broadridge comparing the Fund’s investment performance on (i) an absolute basis, (ii) to that of its Peer Group and a benchmark index, each of which was selected by Broadridge, and (iii) to that of the S&P 500 TR Index. Broadridge also provided supplemental Lipper and Morningstar information and benchmark indices which were discussed. The Board engaged in a lengthy discussion regarding the appropriateness of the Peer Group for the Fund.

After reviewing performance information with respect to the Fund, the Board observed that the Fund’s total return (i) outperformed its benchmark index provided by Broadridge in the four year period, but underperformed in the one, two, three, five and ten year periods, ended December 31, 2024; (ii) outperformed the S&P 500 TR Index in the four year period, but underperformed in the one, two, three, five and ten year periods, ended December 31, 2024; (iii) outperformed the median total return of its Peer Group in the one, two, three, four, five and ten year periods ended December 31, 2024; and (iv) outperformed the average total return of its Peer Group in the one, two, three, four, five and ten year periods ended December 31, 2024. The Board considered that the average net assets of the funds included in the Peer Group was considerably larger than those of the Fund. The Board then concluded that the Fund’s performance was within a range that it deemed competitive.

With respect to its review of the fees payable under the IMA, the Board considered information from Broadridge comparing the Fund’s management fee and expense ratio to those of its Peer Group. The Board observed that the Fund’s management fee based on common and leveraged assets is lower than the median in its Peer Group while its total expense ratio based on common and leveraged assets is higher than the median in its Peer Group, and the Board discussed the contributing factors thereof. The Board concluded that the management fee is reasonable in light of the quality of services received and the level of assets managed. The Board also concluded that although the Fund’s total expense ratio is within a higher range relative to its Peer Group, the total expense ratio is reasonable in light of the quality of services received and the level of assets managed. The Board also evaluated any apparent or anticipated economies of scale in relation to the services the Investment Manager provides to the Fund. The Board recognized that the Fund’s management fee does not include ‘breakpoints,’ which would result in lower incremental advisory fee rates as its assets increase. The Board considered that the Fund is a closed end fund that does not continuously offer shares and that, without daily inflows and outflows of capital, there are limited opportunities

for significant economies of scale to be realized by the Investment Manager in managing the Fund’s assets.

The information provided assisted the Board in concluding that the management fee paid by the Fund is within the range of those paid by comparable funds within the fund industry and is fair and reasonable in light of the quality of services received and the level of assets managed. Further, the Board concluded that the Investment Manager’s management fee bears a reasonable relationship to the services rendered and represents a charge within the range of what would have been negotiated at arm’s length in light of the surrounding circumstances.

The Board noted that performance and expense ratios are only two of the factors that it deems relevant to its consideration of an investment management agreement and that, after considering all relevant factors, it can reach a decision to renew the IMA notwithstanding the Fund’s underperformance and high expenses over certain periods.

The Board also considered information regarding the character and amount of other incidental benefits received by the Investment Manager and its affiliates from its association with the Fund. The Board concluded that potential “fall-out” benefits that the Investment Manager and its affiliates may receive, such as increased ability to obtain research services, appear to be fair and reasonable and may benefit the Fund.

The Board also considered the profitability of the Investment Manager from its association with the Fund, including historical profitability information. In this regard, the Board considered the costs of the services provided, and the profits realized, if any, by the Investment Manager in connection with the operation of the Fund and was satisfied that the profitability was not excessive under the circumstances. In addition, the Board considered the financial stability of the Investment Manager during its deliberations.

The Independent Directors then challenged the Chairman on a variety of matters concerning the renewal of the IMA, including, without limitation, questions concerning strategy, revenues, potential conflicts, priorities and related matters. A lengthy discussion followed. The Board did not consider any single factor as controlling in determining whether or not to renew the IMA. In assessing the information provided by the Investment Manager and its affiliates, the Board also noted that it was taking into consideration the benefits to stockholders of investing in a Fund that is part of a fund complex which provides a variety of stockholder services.

Based on its consideration of the foregoing factors and conclusions, and such other factors and conclusions as it deemed relevant, the Board, including all of the Independent Directors, concluded that the approval of the IMA, including the fee structure, is in the best interests of the Fund.

Investment Objective, Policies, and Strategies

The Fund’s non-fundamental investment objective is to seek total return. In seeking its objective, the Fund exercises a flexible strategy in the selection of securities, and is not limited by the issuer’s location, size, or market capitalization. The Fund may invest in equity and fixed income securities of new and seasoned U.S. and foreign issuers, including securities convertible into common stock, debt securities, futures, options, derivatives, and other instruments. The Fund also may employ aggressive and speculative investment techniques, such as selling securities short and borrowing money for investment purposes, a practice known as “leveraging,” and may invest defensively in short term, liquid, high grade securities and money market instruments. There is a risk that these transactions sometimes may reduce returns or increase volatility. In addition, derivatives, such as options and futures, can be illiquid and highly sensitive to changes in their underlying security, interest rate or index, and as a result can be highly volatile. A small investment in certain derivatives could have a potentially large impact on the Fund’s performance. The Fund may invest in debt securities rated below investment grade, commonly referred to as junk bonds, as well as investment grade and U.S. Government securities. Generally, investments in securities in the lower rating categories or comparable unrated securities provide higher yields but involve greater price volatility and risk of loss of principal and interest than investments in securities with higher ratings. A potential benefit of its closed end structure, the Fund may invest without limit in illiquid investments such as private placements and private companies.

Investment Restrictions

The following restrictions are the Fund’s only fundamental policies – that is, policies that cannot be changed without the approval of a majority of the Fund’s outstanding voting securities. All other policies and investment restrictions referred to herein are not fundamental policies of the Fund and may be changed by the Fund’s Board of Directors without stockholder approval. A “majority of the Fund’s outstanding voting securities” for this purpose and under the Company Act means the lesser of (1) 67% or more of the Fund’s shares present at a meeting if more than 50% of the outstanding shares of the Fund are present and represented by proxy, or (2) more than 50% of the outstanding shares of the Fund. As a matter of fundamental policy:

(1) The Fund may not borrow money or issue senior securities, except as permitted under the Company Act;

 

(2)

The Fund may not purchase or sell physical commodities unless acquired as a result of ownership of securities or other instruments. This restriction does not prevent the Fund from engaging in transactions involving foreign currency, futures

 

contracts and options, forward contracts, swaps, caps, floors, collars, securities purchased or sold on a forward-commitment or delayed-delivery basis or other financial instruments, or investing in securities or other instruments that are secured by physical commodities;

 

(3)

The Fund may not lend money or other assets, except to the extent permitted by the Company Act. This restriction does not prevent the Fund from purchasing debt obligations in pursuit of its investment program, or for defensive or cash management purposes, entering into repurchase agreements, loaning its portfolio securities to financial intermediaries, institutions or institutional investors, or investing in loans, including assignments and participation interests;

 

(4)

The Fund may not act as an underwriter of another issuer’s securities, except to the extent that, in connection with the purchase and sale of portfolio securities, it may be deemed to be an underwriter within the meaning of the Securities Act;

 

(5)

The Fund may not purchase or sell real estate, unless acquired as a result of ownership of securities or other instruments (but this shall not prohibit the Fund from purchasing or selling securities or other instruments backed by real estate or of issuers engaged in real estate activities); and

 

(6)

The Fund may not make any investment if, as a result, the Fund’s investments will be concentrated (as that term may be defined or interpreted under the Company Act) in any one industry. This restriction does not limit the Fund’s investment in securities issued or guaranteed by the U.S. Government, its agencies or instrumentalities and repurchase agreements with respect thereto.

Although not a part of the Fund’s fundamental investment restriction, it is the current position of the SEC staff that a fund’s investments are concentrated in an industry when 25% or more of the fund’s net assets are invested in issuers whose principal business is in that industry. Except as otherwise noted, the percentage restrictions set forth above, as well as those contained elsewhere herein, apply at the time a transaction is effected, and a subsequent change in a percentage resulting from market fluctuations or any other cause other than action by the Fund will not require the Fund to dispose of portfolio securities or take other action to satisfy the percentage restriction (except with respect to any restrictions that may apply to borrowings or senior securities issued by the Fund).

Principal Risks

Share Trading Risk – The Fund’s shares are quoted on the OTC Market and may have less trading volume and liquidity, greater trading spreads, increased market discount to NAV of the Fund’s shares, and fewer governance, stockholder meeting, and reporting requirements than might be the case if the shares were listed on a national securities exchange.

Market Risks – An investment in the Fund is subject to market risk, including the possible loss of the entire principal amount. An investment in Fund shares represents an indirect investment in the securities owned by the Fund. The value of these securities, like other market investments, may move up or down, sometimes rapidly and unpredictably, and these fluctuations are likely to have a greater impact on the value of the shares during periods in which the Fund utilizes leverage.

Leverage Risk – The Fund from time to time may borrow under its credit agreement to increase the assets in its investment portfolio over its net assets, a practice called leverage. Money the Fund borrows for leveraging is limited to 33 1/3% of the value of its total assets. Leverage borrowing creates an opportunity for increased return but, at the same time, involves special risk considerations. Leverage increases the likelihood of greater volatility of the NAV and market price of the Fund’s shares. If the return that the Fund earns on the additional securities purchased fails to cover the interest and fees incurred on the monies borrowed, the NAV of the Fund (and the return of the Fund) would be lower than if borrowing had not been incurred. In addition, when the Fund borrows at a variable interest rate, there is a risk that fluctuations in the interest rate may adversely affect the return to the Fund’s stockholders. Interest payments and fees incurred in connection with such borrowings will reduce the amount of net income available for distribution to stockholders. There is no assurance that a borrowing strategy will be successful during any period in which it is employed. Borrowing on a secured basis results in certain additional risks. Should securities that are pledged as collateral to secure its obligations under the credit agreement decline in value, the Fund may be required to pledge additional assets in the form of cash or securities to the lender to avoid liquidation of the pledged assets. In the event of a steep drop in the value of pledged securities, it might not be possible to liquidate assets quickly enough and this could result in mandatory liquidation of the pledged assets in a declining market at relatively low prices. Furthermore, the Investment Manager’s ability to sell the pledged securities is limited by the terms of the credit agreement, which may reduce the Fund’s investment flexibility over the pledged securities. Because the fee paid to the Investment Manager is calculated on the basis of the average weekly value of the Fund’s total assets minus the sum of the Fund’s liabilities, which liabilities exclude debt relating to leverage, short term debt and the aggregate

liquidation preference of any outstanding preferred stock, the dollar amount of the management fee paid by the Fund to the Investment Manager will be higher (and the Investment Manager will benefit to that extent) when leverage is utilized.

Foreign Securities Risk – Investments in the securities of foreign issuers involve special risks which include changes in foreign exchange rates and the possibility of future adverse political, tax, and economic developments which could adversely affect the value of such securities. Moreover, securities of foreign issuers and securities traded in foreign markets may be less liquid and their prices more volatile than those of U.S. issuers and markets. In addition, in certain foreign countries, there is the possibility of expropriation or confiscatory taxation, political, or social instability, or diplomatic developments that could affect U.S. investments in the securities of issuers domiciled in those countries.

Sector Risk – To the extent the Fund focuses its investments, from time to time, in a particular sector, the Fund will be subject to a greater degree to the risks specific to that sector. Market conditions, interest rates, and economic, regulatory, or financial developments could significantly affect a single sector to a greater extent than if the Fund’s investments were diversified across different sectors.

An Investment in the Fund is Not a Bank Deposit – It is not insured or guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) or any other government agency. It is not a complete investment program and you could lose money by investing in the Fund.

Non-Diversification - The Fund is non-diversified, which means that it is not limited by the Company Act in the proportion of its assets that may be invested in the securities or obligations of a single issuer. As a result, the Fund may hold a smaller number of issuers than if it were diversified. Investing in a non-diversified fund could involve more risk than investing in a fund that holds a broader range of securities because changes in the financial condition of a single issuer could cause greater fluctuation in the Fund’s total returns.

Growth Securities Risk - The Fund may invest in companies that the Investment Manager believes have growth potential. Securities of companies perceived to be “growth” companies may be more volatile than other securities and may involve special risks. If the Investment Manager’s perception of a company’s growth potential is not realized, the securities purchased may not perform as expected, thereby reducing the Fund’s returns. In addition, because different types of securities tend to shift in and out of favor depending on market and economic conditions, “growth” securities may perform differently from the market as a whole and other types of securities.

Additional Information 

 

 

Small Capitalization - The Fund may invest in companies that are small or thinly capitalized and may have a limited operating history. Investments in small-cap companies may involve greater risks than investments in larger, more established issuers because they generally are more vulnerable to adverse business or economic developments than stocks of larger companies. The securities of small capitalization companies generally are less liquid and have narrower product lines, more limited financial resources, and more limited markets for their stock as compared with larger companies. As a result, the value of such securities may be more volatile than the securities of larger companies. During broad market downturns, the Fund’s NAV may fall further than those of funds investing in larger companies. Full development of small capitalization companies takes time, and for this reason, among others, the Fund should be considered a long term investment and not a vehicle for seeking short term profit.

Medium and Large Capitalization - Compared to small capitalization companies, medium and large capitalization companies may be less responsive to business changes and opportunities. At times, the stocks of large capitalization companies may lag other types of stocks in performance. Compared to large capitalization companies, medium capitalization companies may have a shorter history of operations, and may have limited product lines, markets or financial resources.

Pricing - Many factors may influence the price at which the Fund could sell any particular portfolio investment. The sales price may well differ—higher or lower—from the Fund’s last valuation, and such differences could be significant, particularly for illiquid securities and securities that trade in relatively thin markets and/or markets that experience extreme volatility. If market conditions make it difficult to value some investments, the Fund may value these investments using more subjective methods, such as fair value pricing. In such cases, the value determined for an investment could be different than the value realized upon such investment’s sale. As a result, you could pay more than the market value when buying Fund shares or receive less than the market value when selling Fund shares.

Security Selection - The securities selected for the Fund’s portfolio may decline in value. The Investment Manager could be wrong in its analysis of industries, companies, economic trends, the relative attractiveness of different securities, or other matters. As a result, the Fund may underperform the markets, its benchmark index or other funds with the same objective or in the same asset class.

Active Trading - The Fund may trade securities actively. This strategy could increase transaction costs, reduce performance, and result in increased taxable distributions, which could lower the Fund’s after tax performance.

Cybersecurity Risk – With the widespread use of technologies such as the Internet to conduct business, the Fund is susceptible to operational, information security, and related risks. Cyber incidents affecting the Fund or its service providers may cause disruptions and impact business operations, potentially resulting in financial losses, interference with the Fund’s ability to calculate its NAV, impediments to trading, the inability of stockholders to transact business, violations of applicable privacy and other laws, regulatory fines, penalties, reputational damage, reimbursement or other compensation costs, or additional related costs.

Recent Market Events - U.S. and international markets have experienced volatility in recent months and years due to a number of economic, political and global macro factors, including elevated inflation levels and wars in Europe and the Middle East. Uncertainties regarding interest rate levels, political events, potential trade restrictions and tariffs, global geopolitical conflicts, and the possibility of a national or global recession have also contributed to market volatility.

Material Changes

The following information in this stockholder report is a summary of certain changes since the most recent stockholder report. This information may not reflect all of the changes that have occurred since you purchased the Fund.

Since the most recent stockholder report, there have been no material changes to: (i) the Fund’s investment objective, principal investment policies or strategies that have not been approved by stockholders, (ii) principal risk factors associated with investment in the Fund, (iii) the person(s) who are primarily responsible for the day-to-day management of the Fund; or (iv) the Fund’s governing documents that would delay or prevent a change of control of the Fund that have not been approved by stockholders.

Governing Documents

Certain provisions in the Fund’s Charter and/or Bylaws (“Governing Documents”) could have the effect of, among other things, depriving the owners of shares in the Fund of opportunities to sell their shares at a premium over prevailing market prices by discouraging a third party from seeking to obtain control of the Fund in a proxy fight, tender offer, or similar effort or bringing litigation against the Fund and/or any director, officer, employee or affiliate thereof. The overall effect of these provisions is to, among other things, render more difficult the accomplishment of a merger or the assumption of control by a principal stockholder. The foregoing summary is subject to the Governing Documents, which are on file with the SEC and available on the Fund’s website www.FoxbyCorp.com.

Proxy Voting

The Fund’s Proxy Voting Guidelines, which describe the policies and procedures the Fund uses to determine how to vote proxies relating to portfolio securities, as well as its proxy voting record for the most recent 12 months ended June 30, are available without charge, upon request, by calling the Fund collect at 212-785-0900, on the SEC’s website at www.sec.gov, and on the Fund’s website at www.Foxby-Corp.com.

Quarterly Schedule of Portfolio Holdings

The Fund files its complete schedule of portfolio holdings with the SEC for the first and third quarters of each fiscal year on Part F of Form N-PORT. The Fund’s Form N-PORT reports are available on the SEC’s website at www.sec.gov. and a link thereto can be found on the Fund’s website at www.FoxbyCorp.com.

Please Note

There is no assurance that the Fund’s investment objective will be attained. Past performance is no guarantee of future results. You should consider the investment objective, risks, and charges and expenses of the Fund carefully before investing. The Fund’s investment policies, management fees, and other matters of interest to prospective investors may be found in its filings with the SEC, including its annual and semi-annual reports. To obtain a copy of the reports, please call us toll-free at 855-411-6432 or download them at www.FoxbyCorp.com/literature/. Please read the reports carefully before investing.

Shares of closed end funds frequently trade at a discount from their NAV. This characteristic is a risk separate and distinct from the risk that the Fund’s NAV has decreased in the past, and may decrease in the future, as a result of its investment activities and other events. Neither the Investment Manager nor the Fund can predict whether shares of the Fund will trade at, below, or above NAV. The risk of holding shares of the Fund that might trade at a discount is more pronounced for investors expecting to sell their shares in a relatively short period of time after acquiring them because, for those investors, realization of a gain or loss on their investments is likely to be more dependent upon the existence of a premium or discount than upon portfolio performance. The shares of the Fund are designed primarily for long term investors and should not be considered a vehicle for trading purposes. The NAV of the Fund’s shares typically will fluctuate with price changes of the Fund’s portfolio securities, and these fluctuations are likely to be greater in the case of a fund which uses leverage, as the Fund may from time to time. In the event that shares of the Fund trade at a premium to NAV, there is no assurance that any such premium will be sustained for any period of time and will not decrease, or that the shares of the Fund will not trade at a discount to NAV thereafter. The market price for the Fund is based on supply and demand which fluctuates daily based on many factors, such as economic conditions and global events, investor sentiment, and security-specific factors.
