(1)This table and the example below reflect the aggregate expenses of the Market Opportunities Fund and the Market Opportunities Portfolio. The management fees paid by the Market Opportunities Fund reflect the proportionate share of fees allocated to the Market Opportunities Fund from the Market Opportunities Portfolio. The fees and expenses of the Market Opportunities Portfolio include those incurred by any subsidiary wholly-owned and controlled by the Market Opportunities Portfolio.
(2)The Board of Directors (the “Board”) of Kinetics Mutual Funds, Inc. has approved a Rule 12b-1 Distribution Plan that allows the Fund to pay up to 0.50% and 0.75% of the average daily net asset value (“NAV”) of the Advisor Class A shares and
1


Advisor Class C shares, respectively, as compensation to the distributor or other qualified recipients, pursuant to the Plan. However, at the present time, the Fund is only assessing 0.25% and 0.75% under the Rule 12b-1 Distribution Plan for Advisor Class A shares and Advisor Class C shares, respectively. In addition, the Board has approved a Shareholder Servicing Plan for Advisor Class A shares and Advisor Class C shares that provides for an annual shareholder servicing fee equal to 0.25% of the average daily net assets attributable to Advisor Class A shares and Advisor Class C shares.
(3)Horizon Kinetics Asset Management LLC, the investment adviser to the Market Opportunities Portfolio of the Kinetics Portfolios Trust (the “Investment Adviser”), has agreed to waive management fees and reimburse Fund expenses so that Total Annual Fund Operating Expenses after Fee Waiver and/or Expense Reimbursements do not exceed 1.65% and 2.15% of the Fund’s average daily net assets, excluding acquired fund fees and expenses, taxes, brokerage commissions, extraordinary items and interest, for Advisor Class A shares and Advisor Class C shares, respectively. The Fund may have to repay the Investment Adviser some of these amounts waived or reimbursed within three years if total operating expenses fall below the expense cap described above. Such repayments are subject to approval by the Board of Trustees, and amounts recaptured under the agreement, if any, are limited to the lesser of (i) the expense limitation in effect at the time of the waiver or reimbursement and (ii) the expense limitation in effect at the time of the recapture. These waivers and reimbursements are in effect until April 30, 2026, and may not be terminated without the approval of the Board.

Example. This Example is intended to help you compare the cost of investing in the Market Opportunities Fund with the cost of investing in other mutual funds. This Example assumes that you invest $10,000 in the Market Opportunities Fund for the time periods indicated and then redeem all of your shares at the end of these periods. The Example also assumes that your investment has a 5% return each year and that the Market Opportunities Fund’s operating expenses remain the same (taking into account the expense limitation only in the first year). Although your actual costs may be higher or lower, based on these assumptions your cost for the Market Opportunities Fund would be:
1 Year3 Years5 Years10 Years
Advisor Class A (if you redeem your shares at the end of the period)
$733$1,129$1,548$2,715
Advisor Class C (if you redeem your shares at the end of the period)
$318$739$1,287$2,782
Advisor Class C (if you do not redeem your shares at the end of the period)$218$739$1,287$2,782

Portfolio Turnover. The Market Opportunities Portfolio pays transaction costs, such as commissions, when it buys and sells securities (or “turns over” its portfolio). A higher portfolio turnover rate may indicate higher transaction costs and may result in higher taxes when Fund shares are held in a taxable account. These costs, which are not reflected in annual fund operating expenses or in the Example, affect the Market Opportunities Portfolio’s, and therefore the Market Opportunities Fund’s, performance. During the most recent fiscal year, the Market Opportunities Portfolio’s portfolio turnover rate was 7% of the average value of its portfolio.

Principal Investment Strategy
The Market Opportunities Fund is a non-diversified fund that invests all of its investable assets in the Market Opportunities Portfolio, a series of Kinetics Portfolios Trust. Under normal circumstances, the Market Opportunities Portfolio invests at least 65% of its net assets in common stocks, convertible securities, warrants and other equity securities having the characteristics of common stocks (such as American Depositary Receipts (“ADRs”), Global Depositary Receipts (“GDRs”) and International Depositary Receipts (“IDRs”)) of U.S. and foreign companies involved in capital markets or related to capital markets, as well as companies involved in the gaming industry. Capital market companies include companies that are engaged in or derive a substantial portion of their revenue from activities with a publicly traded securities exchange, such as equity exchanges and commodity exchanges, including but not limited to clearing firms and brokerage houses. The Market Opportunities Portfolio may also invest in exchange-traded funds (“ETFs”) and purchase and write options for hedging purposes and/or direct investment.

The Market Opportunities Portfolio may invest up to 20% of its total assets in convertible and non-convertible debt securities rated below investment grade, also known as junk bonds, or unrated securities that the Investment Adviser has determined to be of comparable quality.

The Market Opportunities Portfolio securities will be selected by the Investment Adviser from companies that are engaged in public exchanges, derivative exchanges, and capital markets; companies that experience operational scale from increased volume such as investment banks, credit card processing companies, electronic payment
2


companies and companies in the gaming industry; and from companies that act as facilitators such as publicly traded expressways, airports, roads and railways. Companies that experience operational scale from increased volume are similar to capital markets companies because they have greater fixed costs than variable costs, operating margins that rise once fixed costs are covered, and an ability to generate higher operating margins once fixed costs are covered (referred to as operating leverage). High operating leverage describes a company’s ability to experience rising profit margins as revenues increase. These companies may be large, medium or small in size if, in the Investment Adviser’s opinion, these companies meet the Market Opportunities Portfolio’s investment criteria. The Investment Adviser seeks to invest in companies with high operating leverage that can expand capacity with negligible or limited associated costs. Generally, high returns on equity, long product life cycles, high barriers to entry and certain degrees of financial gearing are necessary for this. Financial gearing occurs with the use of loans and debt in companies where it is necessary to build capacity and infrastructure before operations can begin. Additionally, the Market Opportunities Portfolio may participate in securities lending arrangements up to 33-1/3% of the securities in its portfolio with brokers, dealers, and financial institutions (but not individuals) in order to increase the return on its portfolio.

The Market Opportunities Portfolio may invest indirectly in bitcoin through the Grayscale Bitcoin Trust and through other pooled investment vehicles that provide exposure to crypto assets. Certain of these investment vehicles, including the Grayscale Bitcoin Trust, are not registered under the 1940 Act and do not receive the protections of the 1940 Act. The Market Opportunities Portfolio will not invest directly in bitcoin or other crypto assets. The Grayscale Bitcoin Trust is a spot Bitcoin ETF and enables investors to gain exposure to bitcoin in the form of a security while avoiding the challenges of buying, storing, and safekeeping bitcoin, directly. Bitcoin is a type of crypto asset that is not issued by a government, bank or central organization. Bitcoin exists on the Bitcoin Network that hosts the Bitcoin Blockchain. Bitcoin has no physical existence and exists solely through the record of transactions on the Bitcoin Blockchain. The Grayscale Bitcoin Trust invests principally in bitcoin. The Market Opportunities Portfolio held 11.3% of its net assets in the Grayscale Bitcoin Trust as of March 31, 2025. The Market Opportunities Portfolio may also invest in other pooled investment vehicles that provide exposure to the spot price of crypto assets. For example, the Market Opportunities Portfolio may invest in the Grayscale Ethereum Classic Trust.

The Market Opportunities Portfolio contributed a portion of its holdings in the Grayscale Bitcoin Trust to a wholly-owned and controlled subsidiary organized under the laws of the Cayman Islands (the “Cayman Subsidiary”).

The Market Opportunities Portfolio is also the sole shareholder of a wholly owned subsidiary organized under Delaware law (the “Delaware Subsidiary”). The Market Opportunities Portfolio contributed a portion of its holdings in the Grayscale Bitcoin Trust to the Delaware Subsidiary. Any net gains that the Delaware Subsidiary recognizes on future sales of the contributed Grayscale Bitcoin Trust shares will be subject to federal and state corporate income tax, but the dividends that the Delaware Subsidiary pays to the Market Opportunities Portfolio (i.e., those gains, net of the tax paid and any other expenses of the Delaware Subsidiary, such as its management and advisory fees) will be eligible to be treated as “qualified dividend income” under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Internal Revenue Code”). The Delaware Subsidiary and the Cayman Subsidiary are each referred to herein as a “Subsidiary” and collectively as “Subsidiaries.” Additional information regarding the tax treatment of the Fund is provided in the “Taxes” section of the SAI.

In the future, the Market Opportunities Portfolio may seek to gain additional exposure to the Grayscale Bitcoin Trust that may not produce qualifying income for the Market Opportunities Fund under the Internal Revenue Code if held directly. The Market Opportunities Portfolio will not make any additional investments in the Grayscale Bitcoin Trust if as a result of such investment, its aggregate investment in the Grayscale Bitcoin Trust, either directly or through a Subsidiary, would be more than 15% of its assets at the time of the investment. However, the Portfolio’s investment in the Grayscale Bitcoin Trust may, at times, exceed 15% of its net assets, due to appreciation.
Each Subsidiary invests primarily in the Grayscale Bitcoin Trust. The Market Opportunities Portfolio will invest in its Subsidiaries in a manner that is consistent with the limitations of the federal tax laws, rules and regulations that apply to the Market Opportunities Fund as a “regulated investment company” (“RIC”) under Subchapter M of
3


Subtitle A, Chapter 1, of the Internal Revenue Code (“Subchapter M”). However, the Market Opportunities Portfolio and each Subsidiary comply with the same fundamental investment restrictions on an aggregate basis, to the extent those restrictions are applicable to the investment activities of each Subsidiary. Each Subsidiary also complies with Section 17 of the 1940 Act relating to affiliated transactions and custody, and the Investment Adviser complies with Section 15 of the 1940 Act, relating to investment advisory contracts with respect to the Subsidiaries. Unlike the Market Opportunities Fund, each Subsidiary does not, and will not, seek to qualify as a RIC. The Market Opportunities Portfolio is the sole shareholder of each Subsidiary and does not expect shares of the Subsidiaries to be offered or sold to other investors. The Subsidiaries include entities that engage in investment activities in securities or other assets that are primarily controlled by the Market Opportunities Portfolio. The Market Opportunities Portfolio does not intend to create or acquire primary control of any entity which primarily engages in investment activities in securities or other assets other than entities wholly-owned by the Market Opportunities Portfolio.

Sell decisions are generally triggered by either adequate value being achieved, as determined by the Investment Adviser, or by an adverse change in a company’s operating performance or a deterioration of the company’s business model. A sell trigger may also occur if the Investment Adviser discovers a new investment opportunity that it believes is more compelling and represents a greater risk reward profile than other investment(s) held by the Market Opportunities Portfolio.

The Market Opportunities Portfolio may maintain during a temporary period, which could be for a short period or a longer period lasting several years or more, of abnormal conditions, a significant portion of its total assets in cash and securities, generally considered to be cash and cash equivalents, including, but not limited to: high quality, U.S. short-term debt securities and money market instruments. The Investment Adviser will invest in such short-term cash positions to the extent that the Investment Adviser is unable to find sufficient investments meeting its criteria and when the Investment Adviser believes the purchase of additional equity securities would not further the investment objective of the Market Opportunities Portfolio during such periods of time. Additionally, to respond to adverse market, economic, political or other conditions, which may persist for short or long periods of time, the Market Opportunities Portfolio may invest up to 100% of its assets in the types of high quality, U.S. short-term debt securities and money market instruments described above.

If the market advances during periods when the Market Opportunities Portfolio is holding a large cash position, the Portfolio may not participate as much as it would have if it had been more fully invested in securities. In the aforementioned temporary defensive periods, the Investment Adviser believes that an additional amount of liquidity in the Market Opportunities Portfolio is desirable both to meet operating requirements and to take advantage of new investment opportunities. When the Market Opportunities Portfolio holds a significant portion of assets in cash and cash equivalents, it may not meet its investment objective.

The Market Opportunities Portfolio held 41.7% of its net assets in the Texas Pacific Land Corporation (the “Land Corporation”) as of March 31, 2025. The Land Corporation is a corporation organized under the laws of the state of New York. One of the largest land owners in Texas, the Land Corporation derives most of its income from oil and gas royalty revenue, land easements and water royalties and sales. The Land Corporation has historically operated with minimal operating expenses, little to no debt and utilized cash flow to return capital to unitholders through share repurchases and dividends. While the Land Corporation has held the majority of its assets since its formation in 1888, the development of energy resources subject to its royalty interests and related land use have experienced rapid growth in recent years due to advances in energy exploration and extraction technologies.

Principal Investment Risks
Investing in common stocks has inherent risks that could cause you to lose money. The principal risks of investing in the Market Opportunities Fund, and indirectly the Market Opportunities Portfolio, are listed below and could adversely affect the net asset value (“NAV”), total return and the value of the Market Opportunities Fund, Market Opportunities Portfolio and your investment. The first six risks are prioritized by order of importance. The remaining principal risks are presented in alphabetical order to facilitate finding particular risks and comparing them with other funds. Each risk summarized below is considered a principal risk of investing in the Market Opportunities Fund, and indirectly the Market Opportunities Portfolio, regardless of the order in which it appears. Different risks may be more significant at different times depending on market conditions or other factors.

ª    Non-Diversification Risks: As a non-diversified investment company, the Market Opportunities Portfolio can invest a large percentage of its assets in a small number of issuers. As a result, a change in the value of any one investment may affect the overall value of the Market Opportunities Portfolio’s shares, and therefore the Market Opportunities Fund’s shares, more than shares of a diversified mutual fund that holds more investments.
ª    Crypto Asset Exposure Risk: Crypto assets (also referred to as “virtual currencies” and “digital currencies”) are digital assets designed to act as a medium of exchange. Although crypto assets are an emerging asset class, they are not presently widely accepted as a medium of exchange. There are thousands of crypto assets, the most well-known of which is bitcoin.
    Bitcoin or BTC was the first decentralized crypto asset. Bitcoin is a type of crypto asset that is not issued by a government, bank or central organization. Bitcoin exists on an online, peer-to-peer computer network that hosts the Bitcoin Blockchain. Bitcoin has no physical existence and exists solely through the record of bitcoin transactions on the Bitcoin Blockchain. The Bitcoin Network allows people to exchange tokens of value, bitcoins, which are recorded on a public transaction ledger known as a Blockchain. The Fund may invest indirectly in bitcoin through the Grayscale Bitcoin Trust and through other pooled investment vehicles that provide exposure to crypto assets. Grayscale Bitcoin Trust is a Bitcoin ETF that enables investors to gain exposure to bitcoin in the form of a security while avoiding the challenges of buying, storing, and safekeeping bitcoin, directly.
In addition to the general risks of investing in other investment vehicles, the value of the Market Opportunities Portfolio’s indirect investments in crypto assets are subject to fluctuations in the value of the crypto asset, which can be highly volatile. The value of crypto assets is determined by the supply and demand for crypto assets in the global market for the trading of crypto assets, which consists primarily of transactions on crypto asset trading platforms. The value of crypto assets has been, and may continue to be, substantially dependent on speculation, such that trading and investing in crypto assets generally may not be based on fundamental analysis. The Market Opportunities Portfolio’s exposure to crypto assets can result in substantial losses to the Market Opportunities Fund.
Crypto assets facilitate decentralized, peer-to-peer financial exchange and value storage, without the oversight of a central authority or banks. The value of crypto assets are not backed by any government, corporation, or other identified body. Crypto assets are also susceptible to theft, loss and destruction.
Crypto assets trade on crypto asset trading platforms, which are largely unregulated and may therefore be more exposed to fraud and failure than established, regulated exchanges for securities, derivatives and other currencies. These crypto asset trading platforms can cease operating temporarily or even permanently, resulting in the potential loss of users’ crypto assets or other market disruptions. Crypto asset trading platforms may be more exposed to the risk of market manipulation than exchanges for more traditional assets. Individuals or organizations holding a large amount of crypto assets in which the Market Opportunities Portfolio may invest indirectly (also known as “whales”) may have the ability to manipulate the prices of those crypto assets. Crypto asset trading platforms on which crypto assets are traded are or may become subject to enforcement actions by regulatory authorities. Crypto asset trading platforms that are regulated typically must comply with minimum net worth, cybersecurity, and anti-money laundering requirements, but are not typically required to protect customers or their markets to the same extent that regulated securities exchanges or futures exchanges are
5


required to do so. Furthermore, crypto asset trading platforms may be operating out of compliance with regulations, and many crypto asset trading platforms lack certain safeguards established by more traditional exchanges to enhance the stability of trading on the exchange, such as measures designed to prevent sudden drops in value of items traded on the exchange (i.e., “flash crashes”). As a result, the prices of crypto assets on crypto asset trading platforms may be subject to larger and more frequent sudden declines than assets traded on more traditional exchanges.
    Currently, there is relatively limited use of crypto assets in the retail and commercial marketplace, which contributes to price volatility. A lack of expansion by crypto assets into retail and commercial markets, or a contraction of such use, may result in increased volatility or a reduction in the value of crypto assets, either of which could adversely impact the value of the Market Opportunities Portfolio’s investment. In addition, to the extent market participants develop a preference for one crypto asset over another, the value of the less preferred crypto assets would likely be adversely affected. Crypto assets are a new technological innovation with a limited history; it is a highly speculative asset and future regulatory actions or policies may limit, perhaps to a materially adverse extent, the value of the Market Opportunities Portfolio’s indirect investment in crypto assets and the ability to exchange a crypto asset or utilize it for payments.
ª    Crypto Asset Industry Risk: The crypto asset industry is a newer, speculative, and still-developing industry that faces many risks. The crypto asset industry may still be experiencing a bubble or may experience a bubble again in the future. For example, in the first half of 2022, each of Celsius Network, Voyager Digital Ltd., and Three Arrows Capital declared bankruptcy, resulting in a loss of confidence in participants of the digital asset ecosystem and negative publicity surrounding digital assets more broadly. In November 2022, FTX Trading Ltd. (“FTX”), one of the largest digital asset platforms by volume at the time, halted customer withdrawals amid rumors of the company’s liquidity issues and likely insolvency, which were subsequently corroborated by its CEO. Shortly thereafter, FTX’s CEO resigned and FTX and many of its affiliates filed for bankruptcy in the United States, while other affiliates have entered insolvency, liquidation, or similar proceedings around the globe, following which the U.S. Department of Justice brought criminal fraud and other charges, and the SEC and CFTC brought civil securities and commodities fraud charges, against certain of FTX’s and its affiliates’ senior executives, including its former CEO. In addition, several other entities in the crypto asset industry filed for bankruptcy following FTX’s bankruptcy filing, such as BlockFi Inc. and Genesis Global Capital, LLC. In response to these events, the prices of crypto assets experienced extreme volatility and other entities in the crypto asset industry have been negatively affected. It is possible that similar events could occur in the future, which would undermine confidence in the crypto asset industry and negatively affect the value of crypto assets. It is not possible to predict at this time all of the risks that they may pose to the Market Opportunities Portfolio, and therefore the Market Opportunities Fund, its service providers or to the crypto asset industry as a whole.
Factors affecting the further development of crypto assets include, but are not limited to, continued worldwide growth or possible cessation or reversal in the adoption and use of crypto assets and other digital assets; government and quasi-government regulation or restrictions on or regulation of access to and operation of digital asset networks; changes in consumer demographics and public preferences; maintenance and development of open-source software protocol; availability and popularity of other forms or methods of buying and selling goods and services; the use of the networks supporting digital assets, such as those for developing smart contracts and distributed applications; general economic conditions and the regulatory environment relating to digital assets; negative consumer or public perception; and general risks tied to the use of information technologies, including cyber risks. A hack or failure of one crypto asset may lead to a loss in confidence in, and thus decreased usage and/or value of, other crypto assets.
ª    Crypto Asset Regulatory Risk: Crypto asset markets in the U.S. exist in a state of regulatory uncertainty. Regulatory changes or actions by Congress as well as U.S. federal or state agencies may adversely affect the value of the Market Opportunities Portfolio’s indirect investments in crypto assets. As digital assets have grown in both popularity and market size, a number of state and federal agencies have issued consumer advisories regarding the risks posed by digital assets to investors. In addition, the Securities and Exchange Commission, U.S. state securities regulators and several foreign governments have issued warnings and instituted legal
6


proceedings in which they argue that certain digital assets may be classified as securities and that both those digital assets and any related initial coin offerings are subject to securities regulations. Additionally, U.S. state and federal, and foreign regulators and legislatures have taken action against virtual currency businesses or enacted restrictive regimes in response to adverse publicity arising from hacks, consumer harm, or criminal activity stemming from virtual currency activity.
Currently, there is relatively limited use of crypto assets in the retail and commercial marketplace, which contributes to price volatility. A lack of expansion by crypto assets into retail and commercial markets, or a contraction of such use, may result in increased volatility or a reduction in the value of crypto assets, either of which could adversely impact the value of the Market Opportunities Portfolio’s investment. In addition, to the extent market participants develop a preference for one crypto asset over another, the value of the less preferred crypto assets would likely be adversely affected.
The Market Opportunities Portfolio’s exposure to crypto assets may change over time and, accordingly, such exposure may not be represented in the Market Opportunities Portfolio’s portfolio at any given time. Many significant aspects of the tax treatment of investments in crypto assets are uncertain, and a direct or indirect investment in crypto assets may produce non-qualifying income. Crypto assets are a new technological innovation with a limited history; it is a highly speculative asset and future regulatory actions or policies may limit, perhaps to a materially adverse extent, the value of the Market Opportunities Portfolio’s indirect investment in crypto assets and the ability to exchange a crypto asset or utilize it for payments.
ª    Liquidity Risks: The Investment Adviser may not be able to sell portfolio securities at an optimal time or price. The Portfolio’s significant investment in a single position, makes the Portfolio especially susceptible to the risk that during certain periods the liquidity of the single position will decrease or disappear suddenly and without warning as a result of adverse market or political events, or adverse investor perceptions.
ª    Sector Concentration Risk: Although the Market Opportunities Portfolio will not concentrate its investments in any industries, the Market Opportunities Portfolio may, at certain times, have concentrations in one or more sectors which may cause the Portfolio to be more sensitive to economic changes or events occurring in those sectors, and the Portfolio's investments may be more volatile. As of December 31, 2024, the Portfolio had 58.2% invested in the Mining, Quarrying, and Oil and Gas Extraction sector and 30.2% invested in the Finance and Insurance sector.
ª    Below Investment Grade Debt Securities Risks: Generally, below investment grade debt securities, i.e., junk bonds, are subject to greater credit risk, price volatility and risk of loss than investment grade securities. Junk bonds are considered to be speculative in nature.
ª    Convertible Securities Risks: Convertible securities are subject to the risks affecting both equity and fixed income securities, including market, credit, liquidity and interest rate risk.
ª    Exchange-Traded Funds (ETFs) Risks: The Fund may invest in ETFs that are passively-managed, actively-managed and which may hold instruments resulting in leveraged exposure. ETFs are registered investment companies whose shares are listed and traded on U.S. stock exchanges or otherwise traded in the over-the-counter market. In general, passively-managed ETFs seek to track a specified securities index or a basket of securities that an “index provider,” such as S&P Global, selects as representative of a market, market segment or industry sector. A passively-managed ETF is designed so that its performance will correspond closely with that of the index it tracks. Actively-managed ETFs may not meet their investment objective based on an ETF’s investment adviser success or failure to implement strategies for the ETF and/or the investment adviser’s ability to control the ETF’s level of risk. A leveraged ETF will engage in transactions and purchase instruments that give rise to forms of leverage, including, among others, the use of reverse repurchase agreements and other borrowings, the investment of collateral from loans of portfolio securities, the use of when issued, delayed-delivery or forward commitment transactions or short sales. To the extent a fund invests in ETFs that achieve leveraged exposure to their underlying indexes through the use of derivative instruments, the fund will indirectly be subject to leveraging risk. As a shareholder in an ETF, the Market Opportunities Portfolio will bear its pro rata portion of an ETF’s expenses, including advisory fees, in addition to its own expenses. The existence
7


of extreme market volatility or potential lack of an active trading market for an ETF’s shares could result in such shares trading at a significant premium or discount to their NAV.
ª    Foreign Securities Risks: The Market Opportunities Portfolio may invest in foreign securities directly or through ADRs, GDRs and IDRs. Foreign securities can carry higher returns but involve more risks than those associated with U.S. investments. Additional risks associated with investment in foreign securities include currency fluctuations, political and economic instability, tariffs and trading disruptions, less publicly available information, differences in financial reporting standards and less stringent regulation of securities markets. Foreign securities in which the Portfolio invests may be traded in markets that close before the time that the Portfolio calculates its NAV. Furthermore, certain foreign securities in which the Portfolio invests may be listed on foreign exchanges that trade on weekends or other days when the Portfolio does not calculate its NAV. As a result, the value of the Portfolio’s holdings may change on days when shareholders are not able to purchase or redeem the Market Opportunities Fund’s shares.
ª    Interest Rate Risk: The risk that when interest rates increase, fixed-income securities held by the Market Opportunities Portfolio will decline in value. Long-term fixed-income securities will normally have more price volatility because of this risk than short-term fixed-income securities. A low or negative interest rate environment could cause the Market Opportunities Portfolio’s earnings to fall below the Portfolio’s expense ratio, resulting in a decline in the Portfolio’s share price. A general rise in interest rates may cause investors to move out of fixed income securities on a large scale, which could adversely affect the price and liquidity of fixed income securities. The risks associated with changing interest rates may have unpredictable effects on the markets and the Market Opportunities Portfolio’s investments.
ª    Leveraging Risks: Investments in derivative instruments may give rise to a form of leverage. The Investment Adviser may engage in speculative transactions, which involve substantial risk and leverage. The use of leverage by the Investment Adviser may increase the volatility of the Market Opportunities Portfolio. These leveraged instruments may result in losses to the Market Opportunities Portfolio or may adversely affect the Market Opportunities Portfolio’s NAV or total return, because instruments that contain leverage are more sensitive to changes in interest rates. The Market Opportunities Portfolio may also have to sell assets at inopportune times to satisfy its obligations in connection with such transactions.
ª    Management Risks: There is no guarantee that the Market Opportunities Fund will meet its investment objective. The Investment Adviser does not guarantee the performance of the Market Opportunities Fund, nor can it assure you that the market value of your investment will not decline.
ª    Petroleum and Gas Sector Risk: The profitability of companies in the oil and gas industry is related to worldwide energy prices, exploration costs and production spending. Companies in the oil and gas industry may be at risk for environmental damage claims and other types of litigation. Companies in the oil and gas industry may be adversely affected by: natural disasters or other catastrophes; changes in exchange rates or interest rates; prices for competitive energy services; economic conditions; tax treatment or government regulation; government intervention; negative public perception; or unfavorable events in the regions where companies operate (e.g., expropriation, nationalization, confiscation of assets and property, imposition of restrictions on foreign investments or repatriation of capital, military coups, social or political unrest, violence or labor unrest). Companies in the oil and gas industry may have significant capital investments in, or engage in transactions involving, emerging market countries, which may heighten these risks.
ª    Sector Emphasis Risks: The Market Opportunities Portfolio’s investments in the capital markets sector subjects it to the risks affecting that sector more than would a fund that invests in a wide variety of market sectors. For instance, companies in the capital markets sector may be adversely affected by changes in economic conditions as well as legislative initiatives, all of which may impact the profitability of companies in this sector. The Market Opportunities Portfolio’s investments in the gaming sector may be adversely affected by changes in economic conditions. The casino industry is particularly susceptible to economic conditions that negatively affect tourism. Casino and gaming companies are highly competitive, and new products, casino concepts and venues are competitive challenges to existing companies. In addition, gaming and related companies are highly regulated, and state and federal legislative changes can significantly impact profitability in those sectors.
8


ª    Single Stock Concentration Risk: The Market Opportunities Portfolio may hold a large concentration of its net assets in a single security or issuer. Holding a large concentration in a single security or issuer may expose the portfolio to the market volatility of that specific security or issuer if the security or issuer performs worse than the market as a whole, which could adversely affect the Fund’s performance.
ª    Small and Medium-Size Company Risks: The Market Opportunities Portfolio may invest in the equity securities of small and medium-size companies. Small and medium-size companies often have narrower markets and more limited managerial and financial resources than do larger, more established companies. As a result, their performance can be more volatile and they face a greater risk of business failure, which could increase the volatility of the Market Opportunities Portfolio’s assets.
ª    Stock Market Risks: Stock mutual funds are subject to stock market risks and significant fluctuations in value. If the stock market declines in value, the Market Opportunities Portfolio, and therefore the Market Opportunities Fund, is likely to decline in value and you could lose money on your investment. Natural disasters, public health emergencies (including epidemics and pandemics), geopolitical events, tariffs and trading disruptions, terrorism and other global unforeseeable events may lead to instability in world economies and markets, market volatility and may have adverse long-term effects.
ª    Stock Selection Risks: The portfolio securities selected by the Investment Adviser may decline in value or not increase in value when the stock market in general is rising and may fail to meet the Market Opportunities Portfolio’s, and therefore the Market Opportunities Fund’s, investment objective.
ª    Subsidiary Risks: By investing in its Subsidiaries, the Market Opportunities Portfolio is indirectly exposed to the risks associated with each Subsidiary’s investments. Those investments held by the Subsidiaries are generally similar to the investments that are permitted to be held by the Market Opportunities Portfolio and are subject to the same risks that would apply to similar investments if held directly by the Market Opportunities Portfolio. Each Subsidiary is not registered under the 1940 Act and, unless otherwise noted in this Prospectus, is not subject to all the investor protections of the 1940 Act. In addition, changes in the laws of the United States, Delaware and/or the Cayman Islands could result in the inability of the Market Opportunities Portfolio and/or its Subsidiaries to continue to operate and could adversely affect the Market Opportunities Fund’s performance.
ª    Tax Risks: In order to qualify as a RIC, the Market Opportunities Fund must meet certain requirements regarding the source of its income, the diversification of its assets and the distribution of its income. Under the test regarding the source of a RIC’s income, at least 90% of the gross income of the RIC each year must be qualifying income, which consists of dividends, interest, gains on investments in securities and certain other categories of investment income. It appears to be the position of the Internal Revenue Service (the “IRS”) that gain realized on bitcoin investments such as investments in the Grayscale Bitcoin Trust will not be qualifying income. The Market Opportunities Portfolio’s investment in each Subsidiary is expected to provide the Market Opportunities Fund with exposure to such bitcoin investments within the limitations of the Internal Revenue Code for qualification as a RIC because, under applicable tax rules, the earnings of each Subsidiary will be qualifying income for the RIC when distributed by the Subsidiary even though the income would not be qualifying income if earned directly by the RIC or directly by an entity classified as a partnership for federal income tax purposes, such as the Market Opportunities Portfolio, in which the RIC invests. There is a risk, however, that the IRS might assert that the income derived from the Market Opportunities Portfolio’s investment in a Subsidiary will not be considered qualifying income. If the Market Opportunities Fund were to fail to qualify as a RIC and became subject to federal income tax, shareholders of the Market Opportunities Fund would be subject to diminished returns. Additionally, the Market Opportunities Fund invests, directly and indirectly, in entities that take the position that they are not subject to entity-level tax. If any such entity is reclassified as a corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes, shareholders of the Market Opportunities Fund would be subject to diminished returns. Changes in the laws of the United States, Delaware and/or the Cayman Islands could result in the inability of the Market Opportunities Portfolio and/or its Subsidiaries to operate as described in this Prospectus and could adversely affect the Market Opportunities Fund. For example, the Cayman Islands does not currently impose any income, corporate or capital gains tax or withholding tax on the Cayman Subsidiary. If Cayman Islands law changes such that the Cayman Subsidiary must pay Cayman Islands taxes, Market Opportunities Fund shareholders would likely suffer decreased investment returns.

ª    Valuation Risk: The sales price the Portfolio could receive for any particular portfolio investment may differ from the Portfolio’s valuation of the investment, particularly for securities or other investments, such as bitcoin, that trade in thin or volatile markets or that are valued using a fair value methodology. Valuation may be more difficult in times of market turmoil since many investors and market makers may be reluctant to purchase complex instruments or quote prices for them. Fair valuation of the Portfolio's investments involves subjective judgment. The Portfolio’s ability to value its investments may be impacted by technological issues and/or errors by pricing services or other third-party service providers. Shares of Grayscale Bitcoin Trust are intended to reflect the price of bitcoin assets, less fees and expenses, and shares of the Grayscale Bitcoin Trust have historically traded, and may continue to trade, at a significant discount or premium to net asset value. As such, the price of Grayscale Bitcoin Trust may go down even if the price of the underlying asset, bitcoin, remains unchanged. Additionally, shares that trade at a premium mean that an investor who purchases $1 of a portfolio will actually own less than $1 in assets.
ª    Volatility Risk: The Portfolio may have investments, including but not limited to Bitcoin, that appreciate or depreciate significantly in value over short periods of time. This may cause the Portfolio’s net asset value per share to experience significant increases or declines in value over short periods of time.
Who may want to invest?
The Market Opportunities Fund may be appropriate for investors who:
ª    wish to invest for the long-term;
ª    want to diversify their portfolios;
ª    want to allocate some portion of their long-term investments to value equity investing;
ª    are willing to accept the volatility associated with equity and Bitcoin investing; and
ª    are comfortable with the risks described herein.

Performance
The bar chart and table shown below illustrate the variability of the Market Opportunities Fund’s returns. The bar chart indicates the risks of investing in the Market Opportunities Fund by showing the changes in the Market Opportunities Fund’s performance from year to year (on a calendar year basis). The table shows how the Market Opportunities Fund’s average annual returns, before and after taxes (after taking into account any sales charges) compare with those of the S&P 500® Index, which represents a broad measure of market performance, as well as the MSCI EAFE Index, which is a secondary comparison benchmark. The past performance of the Market Opportunities Fund, before and after taxes, is not necessarily an indication of how the Market Opportunities Fund or the Market Opportunities Portfolio will perform in the future. Performance reflects fee waivers in effect. If fee waivers were not in place, the Market Opportunities Fund’s performance would be reduced. The bar chart shows how the performance of Advisor Class A shares (the Class with the longest period of annual returns) has varied from year to year. The returns for Advisor Class C shares were different than the returns shown below because each Class of shares has different expenses. Updated performance information is available on the Fund’s website at https://www.kineticsfunds.com or by calling the Fund toll-free at (800) 930-3828.
