Shareholders’ Letter

 

Dear Fellow Shareholders,

We are pleased to present the Kinetics Mutual Funds (“Funds”) Semi-Annual Report for the six-month period ended June 30, 2022. Equities fell significantly in the first half of 2022, as rising inflation and interest rates, geopolitical unrest, and growing recession fears weighed on investor sentiment. The investment industry and public now accept that there is inflation – what was dismissed as unlikely by many a year ago is now clearly visible to all in statistics such as the Consumer Price Index (“CPI”), as well as in the bread-and-butter price levels of housing, food, and fuel, and in the authoritative realm of Federal Reserve interest rate policy statements.

For some, the current market backdrop prompts a look back at the inflationary 1970s, the most recent reference point for a prolonged inflationary period in the U.S. Unfortunately, we believe that the damaging 1970s and the subsequent recovery period is a misleading reference point.

One essential difference between the 1970s and today is as follows:

• By the end of that period, in 1979, the federal debt/Gross Domestic Product (“GDP”) level was only about 31% and had declined during the decade. Today, the ratio is about 130%, already beyond all historical experience, and is probably still rising.

• In 1980, total public and private U.S. debt was 178% of GDP and cost an average of 13.6%. Within 11 months, interest rates began a 40-year decline, so that risk was about to peak.

Today, total U.S. debt is 489% of GDP, at an average interest rate of only 3.72%, while the average rate on the Federal debt is only about 1.43%. Just this year, though, the 5-Year Treasury rose to 3%, from an average of 1.6% over the past five years, and 1-year Treasuries also rose to 3%, from less than 0.1% a year ago. The relevance of those increases is that, crudely estimated, somewhere between 20% to 35% of the marketable Federal debt will come due within the next year, and a similar proportion within 1 – 5 years. That’s well over half of the Federal debt to be replaced at higher rates in the near to intermediate future. We believe that this dynamic, in addition to the U.S. Dollar’s strength, will surely limit the ability of the Federal Reserve to solely target inflation with its policies – and will likely result in a higher requisite level of long-run inflation, as compared to the previous several decades.

Our view is that this will result in a structurally different economy, in terms of supply chains, profit margins, wage growth, and debt growth, among other factors. We believe that the Funds are positioned for such a future, which includes many investment opportunities, but which remains well outside of the consensus view.

A performance summary for the half year ended June 30, 2022 follows (No-Load Class):

The Internet Fund -28.64%; The Global Fund -13.50%; The Paradigm Fund -2.51%; The Medical Fund -0.97%; The Small Cap Opportunities Fund 1.64%; The Market Opportunities Fund -8.19%; The Alternative Income Fund -3.98%; The Multi-Disciplinary Income Fund -2.63%; and the Kinetics Spin-off and Corporate Restructuring Fund 2.34%. This compares to returns of: -19.96% for the S&P 500® Index; -18.94% for the S&P 600® Small Cap Index; -20.18% for the MSCI All Country World (ACWI) Index; -10.35% for the Bloomberg U.S. Aggregate Bond Index: -14.19% for the Bloomberg U.S. Corporate High Yield Index; -3.35% for the Bloomberg U.S. 1-3 Year Credit Index®; -29.23% for the Nasdaq Composite®; and -19.57% for the MSCI EAFE® Index.

While we continue to provide equity and fixed income reference benchmark performance (to aid in understanding how the broad asset classes have performed throughout the first half of 2022), we do not manage our Funds against any specific benchmark, nor have we ever done so in the history of the Funds. We believe that such benchmark adherence is highly detrimental to the long-term returns of a sound investment strategy, particularly in recent years, as the benchmarks themselves have undergone distortions that make them discordant with their original objectives.

Equity markets are currently struggling to discount a future of higher interest rates and lower earnings growth. It is not hard to mathematically calculate the impact of higher interest rates, but earnings revisions are much harder to digest. Earnings routinely fall during recessions, but similarly rebound, and in some cases return to their pre-recession growth trend. While it is assured that earnings growth will be lower than current estimates due to a confluence of factors, the greater uncertainty pertains to the long-term (i.e., >3 years out) earnings growth. We would argue that it will be much lower than is currently priced in for much of the market; hence, equities in general have more potential downside.

However, the converse of the broader market, which is likely discounting earnings which are too high, for too long, is the subset of hard asset companies, which the market is pricing for immediate and permanent impairments in profitability. It is not uncommon for high quality fertilizer, energy, industrial metals, and other raw materials companies to trade for less than 5x free cash flow for this year. This equates to a 20% free cash flow yield, which, even if reduced by 50% next year, would be 10%. There are very few companies in the market today that can reduce cash flow by 50% and still trade at a double-digit yield.

It is clear to us that the short-term orientation of the financial markets is resulting in anomalous pricing in various hard asset companies. Investors are mistaking cyclical inflation related to supply chains and latent consumption with secular inflation related to insufficient supply in markets with highly inelastic demand. The former categories will almost assuredly be negatively impacted by slowing economic growth and tighter financial conditions; whereas the latter are likely to be marginally impacted by these factors and will take decades to rebalance supply.

Investors remain largely under-invested in sectors with hard asset companies, which can benefit from this backdrop of structural inflation. We believe that investors’ focus will eventually shift towards companies that can i.) grow revenues on a real basis and ii.) manage costs associated with real revenue growth. We believe that the companies which can achieve these milestones will be rewarded with higher multiples, while those which cannot will be penalized with lower multiples.

The future remains uncertain, but based on a range of realistic outcomes, we believe that the odds certainly favor a new economic paradigm going forward –one which favors incumbent assets and hard asset companies.

Investment Commentary

 

Financial markets thrive on predictability, as greater certainty about the future permits greater risk tolerance, which promotes economic growth, ergo, growth in wealth. The past decade, if not decades, of modern central economic planning have sought to reduce economic uncertainty, largely by intervening in free markets, by providing liquidity support through monetary (interest rate) and fiscal (spending) measures. The requisite magnitude of financial support to stimulate the economy has grown more than nominal economic growth and financial leverage within the system, creating reliance on a rapidly increasing amount of stimulus. This cycle of ever greater financial stimulus may have recently culminated (temporarily), after U.S. money supply grew approximately 45% between January of 2020 and April 2022. This translates into approximately 31% of the total U.S. Dollars in existence having been “created” within the past 26 months. It should come as no surprise that an unintended consequence of decades of policy aimed at supporting asset and economic growth is inflation. “Inflation” first came in the form of financial asset inflation (i.e., stocks, bonds, and private assets), followed by consumer and producer goods (e.g., CPI, Producer Price Index (PPI)), and now, seemingly, everything.

The U.S. Federal Reserve is no longer denying that inflation is extremely unlikely to abate on its own, and it has begun raising interest rates aggressively in order to combat rising price levels. Tighter money can only combat inflation by reducing demand, as interest costs consume more of businesses’, individuals’, and governments’ cash flows. Contractions in demand are often associated with economic contractions, i.e., recessions. Fear of economic/demand contraction is driving irrational price action in financial markets, as investors underestimate structural trends and rely on heuristic analysis of past cycles. It may shock many people to learn that commodity prices and broader consumer prices can, in fact, rise during a recession. To quote Zolten Pozsar of Credit Suisse: “You can print money, but not oil to heat or wheat to eat.” This quote summarizes the dilemma that central banks face, as decades of underinvestment in indispensable raw materials are coinciding with growing demand, specifically, from emerging (non-OECD) markets. Further, there is a growing risk that aggressive central bank policy aimed at reducing inflation via curbing demand will achieve its goal in reducing growth, but without impacting structural inflation, thus, resulting in stagflation.

We believe that this leaves the global economy in a very uncertain position, where restrictive bank policies are in direct conflict with slowing global growth.

We do not have any unique insight into what will catalyze this dynamic to shift, or how or when it might occur, but we do believe we have an informed opinion about what the ultimate economic and investment implications are. In short, the current paradigm of investing, which has reigned for decades, is shifting – and at warp speed due to the policy mismatch. This change will be uncomfortable, and many individuals and institutions will surely reduce their exposures due to the uncertainty, which will pressure asset prices. However, this short-term orientation fails to recognize the difference between cyclical and structural inflation, hence, missing investment opportunities in secular inflation beneficiaries.

The past 40 years can be characterized as an era of abundance, driven primarily by globalization, technological innovation, and declining interest rates. Our view is that these supporting trends simply cannot be sustained, and most are either stalling or are outright reversing. We believe that this will result in a markedly different investment environment for the next decade as compared to the past yet, most investment “models” rely on historical performance and correlations based on 10, 20 or 30 years of data, which is no longer a valid analog. Specifically, we believe that the changes in these trends, in conjunction with under-investment in raw materials, will result in a new era not of abundance, but of scarcity. In short, the new era will place a primacy on existing high quality, hard assets – which stands in stark contrast to the prevailing primacy on intangibles and cheap investment capital.

The equity-oriented funds (Paradigm, Small Cap, Market Opportunities, Internet, Global, and Spin-off) all benefitted substantially from high exposure to “hard asset” oriented businesses. These companies possess unique asset bases which are high quality, finite supply, and/or are low on the supply pricing curve. We believe that the asset bases enable these companies to benefit from inflationary forces in the economy for many years to come, yet, in capital efficient business models. In particular, Texas Pacific Land Corp. (“TPL”) has been a standout in terms of performance, rising approximately 21% year-to-date (including dividends). The gain was likely in response to benchmark oil and gas prices rising approximately 41% and 51%, respectively. Royalty companies such as TPL benefit from higher absolute energy price levels, yet, without any related expenses. The funds also benefitted from exposure to specific companies in the defense technology and specialty lodging industries.

Exposure to various hard asset industries, such as precious metals and land, detracted from performance, albeit, still outpacing broader markets. The funds had various degrees of negative attribution from a cryptocurrency pooled investment fund. The underlying investment exposure to Bitcoin through the Grayscale Bitcoin Investment Trust (GBT) declined sharply through the first half of the year, GBT’s discount to NAV widened from approximately 22% at year-end to 31% at the end of June. The SEC rejected the GBT’s most recent ETF conversion application earlier this year; however, we believe that the conversion is an eventuality which will remedy the discount.

The income-oriented funds (The Multi-Disciplinary Income Fund and The Alternative Income Fund) have benefitted from shorter duration fixed income exposure, although both funds generated modest losses for the first half of the year. Virtually all fixed income assets have declined in value this year due to the rapid and largely unexpected pace of rising interest rates. The 10-Year U.S. Treasury yield nearly doubled through the first six months of the year, which translated into almost a 6% year-to-date decline for the Bloomberg U.S. Aggregate Bond Index.

Financial markets are digesting high inflation and rapidly rising interest rates for the first time in nearly 40 years, which makes the future particularly uncertain. We believe that there are strong long-term investment “trends” from which we can benefit, yet the economic and financial market uncertainty is resulting in highly discounted valuations for many of these companies.

Disclosure

This material is intended to be reviewed in conjunction with a current prospectus, which includes all fees and expenses that apply to a continued investment, as well as information regarding the risk factors, policies and objectives of the Funds. Read it carefully before investing.

Mutual fund investing involves risk. Principal loss is possible. Because The Internet Fund, The Medical Fund and The Market Opportunities Fund invest in a single industry or geographic region, their shares are subject to a higher degree of risk than funds with a higher level of diversification. Internet, biotechnology and certain capital markets or gaming stocks are subject to a rate of change in technology, obsolescence and competition that is generally higher than that of other industries, hence they may experience extreme price and volume fluctuations.

International investing [for all Funds] presents special risks including currency exchange fluctuation, government regulations, and the potential for political and economic instability. Accordingly, the share prices for these Funds are expected to be more volatile than that of U.S.-only funds. Past performance is no guarantee of future performance.

Because smaller companies [for The Small Cap Opportunities Fund] often have narrower markets and limited financial resources, they present more risk than larger, more well established, companies.

Non-investment grade debt securities [for all Funds], i.e., junk bonds, are subject to greater credit risk, price volatility and risk of loss than investment grade securities.

Further, options contain special risks including the imperfect correlation between the value of the option and the value of the underlying asset. Investments [for The Multi- Disciplinary Income Fund and The Alternative Income Fund] in futures, swaps and other derivative instruments may result in loss as derivative instruments may be illiquid, difficult to price and leveraged so that small changes may produce disproportionate losses to the Funds. To the extent the Funds segregate assets to cover derivative positions, they may impair their ability to meet current obligations, to honor requests for redemption and to manage the investments in a manner consistent with their respective investment objectives. Purchasing and writing put and call

options and, in particular, writing “uncovered” options are highly specialized activities that entail greater than ordinary investment risk.

As non-diversified Funds, except The Global Fund, The Alternative Income Fund and The Multi-Disciplinary Income Fund, the value of Fund shares may fluctuate more than shares invested in a broader range of industries and companies. Unlike other investment companies that directly acquire and manage their own portfolios of securities, The Kinetics Mutual Funds, except Kinetics Spin-off and Corporate Restructuring Fund, pursue their investment objectives by investing all of their investable assets in a corresponding portfolio series of the Kinetics Portfolios Trust.

The information concerning the Funds included in the shareholder report contains certain forward-looking statements about the factors that may affect the performance of the Funds in the future. These statements are based on Fund management’s predictions and expectations concerning certain future events and their expected impact on the Funds, such as performance of the economy as a whole and of specific industry sectors, changes in the levels of interest rates, the impact of developing world events, and other factors that may influence the future performance of the Funds. Management believes these forward-looking statements to be reasonable, although they are inherently uncertain and difficult to predict. Actual events may cause adjustments in portfolio management strategies from those currently expected to be employed.

The MSCI All Country World (ACWI) Index, the S&P 500® Index, NASDAQ Composite®, S&P 600® Small Cap Index, MSCI EAFE® Index, Bloomberg Barclays U.S. 1-3 Year Credit Bond Index, Bloomberg Barclays U.S. Aggregate Bond Index and Bloomberg Barclays U.S. Corporate High Yield Bond Index each represent an unmanaged, broad-basket of stocks or bonds. They are typically used as a proxy for overall market performance.

KINETICS MUTUAL FUNDS, INC. — THE FUNDS

Expense Example

June 30, 2022 (Unaudited)

 

Shareholders incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including sales charges (loads) on purchase payments, reinvestments of dividends or other distributions made by a Fund, redemption fees, and exchange fees, and (2), ongoing costs, including management fees, distribution and/or service (12b-1) fees, and other Fund expenses. This example is intended to help investors understand the ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in a series of Kinetics Mutual Funds, Inc. (except the Spin-off Fund, each a “Feeder Fund” and including the Spin-off Fund, collectively the “Funds”), and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds. The example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested on January 1, 2022 and held for the entire period from January 1, 2022 to June 30, 2022.

Actual Expenses

The Actual Expenses comparison provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. Unlike other mutual funds that directly acquire and manage their own portfolio securities, each Feeder Fund invests all or generally all of its investable assets in a corresponding series of The Kinetics Portfolios Trust (each, a “Master Portfolio”, and together the “Master Portfolios”), a separately registered investment company. The Master Portfolio, in turn, invests in securities. With this type of organization, expenses can accrue specifically to the Master Portfolio or the Feeder Fund or both. Each Feeder Fund records its proportionate share of the Master Portfolio’s expenses, including directed brokerage credits, on a daily basis. Any expense reductions include Fund-specific expenses as well as the expenses allocated from the Master Portfolio. Note, the Spin-off Fund is not a Feeder Fund.

The Funds will charge shareholder fees for outgoing wire transfers, returned checks, and exchanges executed by telephone between a Fund and any other Fund. The Funds’ transfer agent charges a $5.00 transaction fee to shareholder accounts for telephone exchanges between any two Funds. The Funds’ transfer agent does not charge a transaction fee for written exchange requests. IRA accounts are assessed a $15.00 annual fee. Finally, as a disincentive to market-timing transactions, the Funds will assess a 2.00% fee on the redemption or exchange of Fund shares held for less than 30 days. These fees will be paid to the Funds to help offset transaction costs. The Funds reserve the right to waive the redemption fee, subject to their sole discretion, in instances deemed not to be disadvantageous to the Funds or shareholders as described in the Funds’ prospectus.

KINETICS MUTUAL FUNDS, INC. — THE FUNDS

Expense Example — (Continued)

June 30, 2022 (Unaudited)

 

A shareholder may use the information provided in the first line, together with the amounts invested, to estimate the expenses paid over the period. A shareholder may divide his/her account value by $1,000 (e.g., an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the first line under the heading entitled “Expenses Paid During Period” to estimate the expenses paid on his/her account during this period.

Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes

The Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Funds’ actual expense ratios and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which are not the Funds’ actual returns. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses paid for the period. A shareholder may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Funds and other funds. To do so, a shareholder would compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of other funds. The expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transactional costs, such as sales charges (loads), redemption fees, or exchange fees. Therefore, the Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transactional costs were included, shareholders costs would have been higher.

1. Organization

Kinetics Mutual Funds, Inc. (the “Company”) is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”), and is incorporated in the State of Maryland. The Company is an open-end management investment company issuing its shares in series. One billion shares are authorized for the Company with a par value of $0.001 per share. The series of the Company presently authorized are The Internet Fund (“Internet”), The Global Fund (“Global”), The Paradigm Fund (“Paradigm”), The Medical Fund (“Medical”), The Small Cap Opportunities Fund (“Small Cap”), The Market Opportunities Fund (“Market Opportunities”), The Alternative Income Fund (“Alternative Income”), The Multi-Disciplinary Income Fund (“Multi-Disciplinary Income”) and The Kinetics Spin-off and Corporate Restructuring Fund (“Spin-off Fund”). Investment operations of the Company began on October 21, 1996 (Internet), September 30, 1999 (Medical), December 31, 1999 (Global and Paradigm), March 20, 2000 (Small Cap), January 31, 2006 (Market Opportunities), June 29, 2007 (Alternative Income), February 11, 2008 (Multi-Disciplinary Income) and May 4, 2007 (Spin-off Fund). The Spin-off Fund completed a plan of reorganization at the close of business on December 8, 2017 to begin operations under the Company. Prior to December 8, 2017, the Spin-off Fund, was known as Horizon Spin-off and Corporate Restructuring Fund, a series of Investment Managers Series Trust. Each series, except the Spin-off Fund, unlike many other investment companies which directly acquire and manage their own portfolios of securities, seeks to achieve its investment objective by investing all of its investable assets in a corresponding portfolio series (each a “Master Portfolio” and collectively the “Master Portfolios”) of Kinetics Portfolios Trust (the “Trust”). The Spin-off Fund does not invest all of its investable assets in a Master Portfolio and will directly acquire and manage its own portfolio of securities.

On April 28, 2000 (January 31, 2006, with respect to Market Opportunities, June 29, 2007, with respect to Alternative Income, and February 11, 2008, with respect to Multi-Disciplinary Income), each series in the Company, except for the Spin-off Fund, entered into a master-feeder fund structure. By entering into this structure, each series, except for the Spin-off Fund, (each a “Feeder Fund” and collectively, the “Feeder Funds”) invested all of its assets in a corresponding Master Portfolio which had the same investment objective as the Feeder Fund. Each Master Portfolio may have multiple feeder funds. Each Feeder Fund

receives a proportionate amount of interest in the Master Portfolio equal to its relative contribution of capital. Thus, each Feeder Fund is allocated its portion of income, gains (losses) and expenses from the Master Portfolio.

Each Feeder Fund’s respective interest in the corresponding Master Portfolio as of June 30, 2022, is as follows:

  Interest in
  Master Portfolio

Prior to the conversion to a master-feeder fund structure on April 28, 2000, each then existing series conducted its own investment operations.

As of June 30, 2022, each of the Funds offers Advisor Class A shares. Advisor Class A shares are subject to an annual Rule 12b-1 fee of 0.25% of average daily net assets and a shareholder servicing fee of 0.25% of average daily net assets. The Advisor Class A shares are also subject to a front-end sales charge of 5.75%.

As of June 30, 2022, each of the Funds offers Advisor Class C shares. Advisor Class C shares are subject to an annual Rule 12b-1 fee of 0.75% of average daily net assets and a shareholder servicing fee of 0.25% of average daily net assets. If you sell your Advisor Class C shares within 12 months of purchase, you will have to pay a contingent deferred sales charge of 1.00%, which is applied to the NAV of the shares on the date of original purchase or on the date of redemption, whichever is less.

As of June 30, 2022, each of the Funds offers No Load Class shares. No Load Class shares are subject to a shareholder servicing fee of 0.25% of average daily net assets but do not have 12b-1 fees or a sales charge.

As of June 30, 2022, the Paradigm, Small Cap, Market Opportunities, Alternative Income, Multi-Disciplinary Income and Spin-off funds offer Institutional Class shares. Institutional Class shares are subject to a shareholder servicing fee of 0.20% of average daily net assets but do not have 12b-1 fees or a sales charge. The Adviser has contractually agreed to waive the portion of the Institutional Class shareholder servicing fee in excess of 0.05%.

Each class of shares for each Feeder Fund and the Spin-off Fund has identical rights and privileges except with respect to the Rule 12b-1 fees paid by the Advisor Class A and Advisor Class C shares, the front-end sales charge on the Advisor Class A shares, the contingent deferred sales charge on Class C, the shareholder servicing fees paid by the Advisor Class A, Advisor Class C, No Load Class and Institutional Class shares, voting rights on matters pertaining to a single class of shares and the exchange privileges of each class of shares. Shares of each Feeder Fund and the Spin-off Fund will assess a 2.00% redemption fee (with exceptions) on shares redeemed or exchanged within 30 days of purchase. Income, expenses (other than expenses attributable to a specific class), and realized and unrealized gains or losses on investments are allocated to each class based on its relative net assets.

Refer to the Master Portfolios’ financial statements to obtain information about the investment objective of the corresponding Feeder Fund. The financial statements of the Master Portfolios, including the portfolios of investments, are contained elsewhere in this report and should be read in conjunction with the Feeder Funds’ financial statements.

2. Significant Accounting Policies

Security Valuation

Master Portfolios and Spin-off Fund equity securities that are listed on a securities exchange for which market quotations are readily available are valued at the last quoted sale price on the day the valuation is made. Price information on listed securities is taken from the exchange where the security is primarily traded. All equity securities, including exchange-traded funds, that are traded using the National Association of Securities Dealers’ Automated Quotation System (“NASDAQ”) are valued using the NASDAQ Official Closing Price (“NOCP”). In the event market quotations are not readily available or if events occur that may materially affect the value of a particular security

46


 
 

 

 

KINETICS MUTUAL FUNDS, INC. — THE FEEDER FUNDS

Notes to Financial Statements — (Continued)

June 30, 2022 (Unaudited)

 

between the time trading ends on a particular security and the close of regular trading on the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”), “fair value” will be determined. Unlisted equity securities and listed equity securities not traded on the valuation date for which market quotations are readily available are valued at the last bid price. Futures, options on futures and swap contracts that are listed or traded on a national securities exchange, commodities exchange, contract market or over-the-counter markets and are freely transferable will be valued at the composite price, using the National Best Bid and Offer quotes (“NBBO”). NBBO consists of the highest bid price and lowest ask price across any of the exchanges on which an option is quoted, thus providing a view across the entire U.S. options marketplace. Composite option pricing calculates the mean of the highest bid price and lowest ask price across the exchanges where the option is traded. If a composite option price is not available, then a quote provided by one of the authorized pricing vendors will be used. If neither a composite price nor a quote from an authorized pricing provider is available, and it is the day of expiration or post-expiration, expiring options will be priced at intrinsic value. Non-exchange-traded options for which over-the-counter quotations are not readily available are valued at the mean between the last bid and asked quotations. Debt obligations (including convertible securities) that are either investment grade or below investment grade and irrespective of days to maturity are valued at evaluated mean by one of the authorized third party pricing agents which rely on various valuation methodologies such as matrix pricing and other analytical pricing models as well as market transactions and dealer quotations. Certain instruments, such as repurchase agreements and demand notes, do not have values from third parties and are valued at amortized cost. Investments in registered open-end investment companies (including money market funds), other than exchange-traded funds, are valued at their reported net asset value (“NAV”).

Other assets and securities for which no quotations are readily available (including restricted securities) will be valued in good faith at fair value using methods determined by the Board of Trustees of the Master Portfolios and the Board of Directors of the Spin-off Fund. In determining the fair value of a security, the Board of Trustees/Directors shall take into account the relevant factors and surrounding circumstances, which may include: (i) the nature and pricing history (if any) of the security; (ii) whether any dealer quotations for the security are available; (iii) possible valuation methodologies that could be used to determine the fair value of the security; (iv) the recommendation of the

portfolio manager of the Portfolios with respect to the valuation of the security; (v) whether the same or similar securities are held by other funds managed by the Adviser or other funds and the method used to price the security in those funds; (vi) the extent to which the fair value to be determined for the security will result from the use of data or formula produced by third parties independent of the Adviser; (vii) the liquidity or illiquidity of the market for the security; and (viii) the value of a foreign security traded on other foreign markets. At June 30, 2022, 1.37%, 1.31%, 0.06%, 0.35%, 3.11%, 0.68% and 0.06% of the net assets of The Internet Portfolio, The Global Portfolio, The Paradigm Portfolio, The Small Cap Opportunities Portfolio, The Market Opportunities Portfolio, The Multi-Disciplinary Income Portfolio and Spin-off Fund respectively, were fair valued securities. The other Master Portfolios did not hold any fair valued securities at June 30, 2022.

Bitcoin

The Master Portfolios and Spin-off Fund may invest in Grayscale Bitcoin Trust, a Delaware statutory trust (“Bitcoin Trust”) that invests in bitcoins. From time to time, the Bitcoin Trust issues creation units in exchange for bitcoins and distributes bitcoins in exchange for redemption units. The performance of the Bitcoin Trust is intended to reflect changes in the value of the Trust’s bitcoin investments. At June 30, 2022, 17.8%, 7.1%, 2.9%, 1.4%, and 6.2% of the net assets of The Internet Portfolio, The Global Portfolio, The Paradigm Portfolio, The Small Cap Opportunities Portfolio and The Market Opportunities Portfolio, respectively, were invested in the Bitcoin Trust. Investments in bitcoins produce non-qualifying income under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code.

Bitcoin is a decentralized digital currency that enables instant transfers to anyone, anywhere in the world. Managing transactions in bitcoins occurs via an open source, cryptographic protocol central authority. The Bitcoin Network is an online, end-user-to-end-user network that hosts the public transaction ledger, known as the Blockchain, and the source code that comprises the basis for the cryptographic and algorithmic protocols governing the Bitcoin Network. No single entity owns or operates the Bitcoin Network, the infrastructure of which is collectively maintained by a decentralized user base. Since the Bitcoin Network is decentralized, it does not rely on either governmental authorities or financial institutions to create, transmit or determine the value of bitcoins. Rather, the value of bitcoins is determined by the supply of and demand for bitcoins in the global bitcoin exchange market for the trading of bitcoins, which

48


 
 

 

 

KINETICS MUTUAL FUNDS, INC. — THE FEEDER FUNDS

Notes to Financial Statements — (Continued)

consists of transactions on electronic bitcoin exchanges (“Bitcoin Exchanges”). Pricing on Bitcoin Exchanges and other venues can be volatile and can adversely affect the value of the Bitcoin Trust. Currently, there is relatively small use of bitcoins in the retail and commercial marketplace in comparison to the relatively large use of bitcoins by speculators, thus contributing to price volatility that could adversely affect a Master Portfolio’s direct or indirect investment in the Bitcoin Trust. Bitcoin transactions are irrevocable, and stolen or incorrectly transferred bitcoins may be irretrievable. As a result, any incorrectly executed bitcoin transactions could adversely affect the value of a Master Portfolio’s direct or indirect investment in the Bitcoin Trust. Shares of the Bitcoin Trust may trade at a premium or discount to the net asset value of the Bitcoin Trust. The price of bitcoins is set in transfers by mutual agreement or barter as well as the number of merchants that accept bitcoins. Because bitcoins are digital files that can be transferred without the involvement of intermediaries or third parties, there are little or no transaction costs in direct end-user-to-end-user transactions. Bitcoins can be used to pay for goods and services or can be converted to fiat currencies, such as the U.S. dollar, at rates determined by the Bitcoin Exchanges. Additionally, third party service providers such as Bitcoin Exchanges are also used for transfers but they may charge significant fees for processing transactions.

As bitcoins have grown in popularity, the U.S. Congress and a number of federal and state agencies (including the Financial Crimes Enforcement Network (FinCEN), the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, the Commodity Futures Trading Commission, the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, the Department of Justice, the Department of Homeland Security, the Federal Bureau of Investigation, the IRS, and state financial institution regulators) have begun to examine the operations of the network that facilitates bitcoins, bitcoin users and the Bitcoin Exchanges, with particular focus on (1) the extent to which bitcoins can be used to launder the proceeds of illegal activities or fund criminal or terrorist enterprises, (2) the safety and soundness of the Bitcoin Exchange or other service-providers that hold bitcoins for users and (3) other risks to investors and consumers who hold and use bitcoins. Ongoing and future regulatory actions may alter, perhaps to a materially adverse extent, the value of a Master Portfolio’s and it’s Subsidiary’s investment in the Bitcoin Trust or the ability of the Bitcoin Trust to continue to operate.

Repurchase Agreements

Each Master Portfolio and the Spin-off Fund may enter into repurchase agreements with banks that are members of the Federal Reserve System or securities dealers who are members of a national securities exchange or are primary dealers in U.S. Government Securities. In connection with transactions in repurchase agreements, it is the Trust’s policy that the Master Portfolios and Spin-off Fund receive, as collateral, securities whose market value, including accrued interest, at all times will be at least equal to 102% of the amount invested by the Master Portfolio and Spin-off Fund in each repurchase agreement. If the seller defaults and the value of the collateral declines, realization of the collateral by the Master Portfolio and Spin-off Fund may be delayed or limited.

Written Options

The Master Portfolios and Spin-off Fund may write (sell) call or put options for trading or hedging purposes. When a Master Portfolio or Spin-off Fund writes an option, an amount equal to the premium received by the Master Portfolio or Spin-off Fund is included in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities as an asset and an equivalent liability. The amount of the liability is subsequently marked- to-market to reflect the current value of the option written. By writing the option, the Master Portfolio or Spin-off Fund may become obligated during the term of the option to deliver or purchase the securities underlying the option at the exercise price if the option is exercised. When an option expires on its stipulated expiration date or the Master Portfolio or Spin-off Fund enters into a closing purchase transaction, the Master Portfolio or Spin-off Fund realizes a gain or loss if the cost of the closing transaction differs from the premium received when the option was sold, without regard to any unrealized gain or loss on the underlying security, and the liability related to such option is eliminated. When an option is exercised, the premium originally received decreases the cost basis of the underlying security (or increases the proceeds on the security sold short) and the Master Portfolio or Spin-off Fund realizes a gain or loss from the sale of the security (or closing of the short sale). As collateral for uncovered written options, each of the Master Portfolios and Spin-off Fund are required under the 1940 Act to maintain assets consisting of cash, cash equivalents or unencumbered, liquid securities. This collateral is required to be adjusted daily to reflect the exercise price of the purchase obligation for put options or the market value of the instrument underlying the contract for call options.

Foreign Currency Translations

The books and records of the Master Portfolios and Spin-off Fund are maintained in U.S. dollars. For the Master Portfolios and Spin-off Fund, foreign currency transactions are translated into U.S. dollars on the following basis: (i) market values of investment securities and other assets and liabilities are translated at the exchange rate of such currencies against the U.S. dollar, as provided by an approved pricing service, and (ii) purchases and sales of investment securities, dividend and interest income and certain expenses at the rates of exchange prevailing on the respective dates of such transactions. The Master Portfolios and Spin-off Fund do not isolate and treat as ordinary income that portion of the results of operations arising as a result of changes in the exchange rate from the fluctuations arising from changes in the market prices of securities held during the year. Such fluctuations are included with the net realized and unrealized gain or loss from investments. However, for federal income tax purposes, the Master Portfolios and Spin-off Fund do isolate and treat as ordinary income the effect of changes in foreign exchange rates arising from actual foreign currency transactions and the effect of changes in foreign exchange rates arising between trade date and settlement date.

Restricted and Illiquid Securities

The Master Portfolios and Spin-off Fund may invest in restricted securities. These securities are valued by the Master Portfolios and Spin-off Fund after giving due consideration to pertinent factors including recent private sales, market conditions and the issuer’s financial performance. The Master Portfolios and Spin-off Fund have no right to require registration of unregistered securities. The 144A securities have been deemed to be liquid by the Master Portfolio and Spin-off Fund’s Adviser under the supervision of the Board of Trustees/Directors. At June 30, 2022, none of the Master Portfolios and Spin-off Fund held securities restricted to institutional investors (144A securities).

An illiquid asset is any asset which may not be sold or disposed of in current market conditions within seven days without the sale or disposition significantly changing the market value of the investment. At June 30, 2022, the following Master Portfolios and Spin-off Fund held illiquid securities.

    Percentage of
  Market Value Net Assets
The Internet Portfolio $1,994,502 1.37%
The Global Portfolio 341,084 1.31%
The Paradigm Portfolio 507,923 0.06%
The Small Cap Opportunities Portfolio 914,397 0.35%
The Market Opportunities Portfolio 3,644,234 3.11%
The Multi-Disciplinary Income Portfolio 122,061 0.68%
The Spin-off Fund 16,002 0.06%

 

When-Issued Securities

The Master Portfolios and Spin-off Fund may purchase securities on a when-issued or delayed delivery basis. Although the purchase amounts of these securities are established at the time the purchaser enters into the agreement, these securities may be delivered and paid for at a future date. The Master Portfolios and Spin-off Fund record purchases of when-issued securities and reflect the values of such securities in determining net asset value in the same manner as other portfolio securities. The Master Portfolios and Spin-off Fund maintain at all times cash or other liquid assets in an amount at least equal to the amount of outstanding commitments for when-issued securities.

Securities Lending

Each Master Portfolio and Spin-off Fund may lend its portfolio securities to broker-dealers by entering directly into lending arrangements with such broker- dealers or indirectly through repurchase agreements with respect to no more than 33 1 / ³ % of the total assets of each Master Portfolio and Spin-off Fund (including any collateral posted) or 50% of the total assets of each Master Portfolio and Spin-off Fund (excluding any collateral posted). Securities lending and repurchase transactions will be fully collateralized at all times with cash and/or short-term debt obligations. The Master Portfolios and Spinoff Fund receive interest on the collateral received as well as a fee for the securities loaned.

Expense Allocation

Common expenses incurred by the Funds are allocated among the Funds (i) based upon relative average net assets, (ii) as incurred on a specific identification basis, or (iii) equally among the Funds, depending on the nature of the expenditure.

Each Feeder Fund records its proportionate share of the corresponding Master Portfolio’s expenses on a daily basis. In addition, each Feeder Fund accrues its own separate expenses. Any cap on expenses includes Feeder Fund-specific expenses as well as the expenses allocated from the Master Portfolio.

Federal Income Taxes

Each Master Portfolio will be treated as a partnership for federal income tax purposes. As such, each investor in a Master Portfolio via its investment in a Feeder Fund will be subject to taxation on its share of the Master Portfolio’s ordinary income and capital gains. It is intended that the Master Portfolio’s assets will be managed so an investor in the Master Portfolio via its investment in a Feeder Fund can satisfy the requirements of subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code. It is intended that the Spin-off Fund will be managed to satisfy the requirements of subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code.

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Cayman, Ltd., Cayman wholly-owned Controlled Foreign Corporations (“CFCs”) and the accounts of Delaware Corporations (“Cayman” or “Delaware”, respectively, or “Subsidiaries” for both). The respective Master Portfolios hold a CFC: Internet Portfolio, Global Portfolio, Paradigm Portfolio, Small Cap Opportunities Portfolio and Market Opportunities Portfolio. The respective Master Portfolios hold a Delaware subsidiary: Internet Portfolio, Global Portfolio and Market Opportunities Portfolio. The investment of up to 25% of a Master Portfolio’s assets in the Subsidiaries is a structure that has been used by a number of Registered Investment Companies (“RICs”), avoiding bad income generation by indirectly making commodities-related investments. These investments would not generate qualifying income if they were made directly by the RIC. Under Treasury Regulations, income from a foreign subsidiary that is a CFC, such as the Subsidiaries, is qualifying income for a RIC for U.S. federal income tax purposes (1) to the extent the income is actually distributed by the CFC to the RIC each year and (2) even if not distributed currently, to the extent the income is derived with respect to the RIC’s business of investing in stock, securities or currencies. If the IRS were to determine that income derived from a Master

53


 
 

 

 

KINETICS MUTUAL FUNDS, INC. — THE FEEDER FUNDS

Notes to Financial Statements — (Continued)

June 30, 2022 (Unaudited)

 

Portfolio’s investment in its Subsidiaries do not constitute qualifying income and if such positions were upheld by a court, or if future legislation or Treasury regulations were to adversely affect the tax treatment of such investments, then the corresponding Feeder Fund might cease to qualify as a RIC and could be required to reduce its exposure to such investments. In that event, a Feeder Fund’s taxable income would be subject to tax at the Feeder Fund level at regular corporate tax rates (without reduction for distributions to shareholders) and to a further tax at the shareholder level when such income is distributed. In such an event, in order to re-qualify for taxation as a regulated investment company, the Feeder Fund may be required to recognize unrealized gains, pay substantial taxes and interest and make certain distributions.

It is the Funds’ policy to meet the requirements of the Internal Revenue Code applicable to regulated investment companies and the Funds intend to distribute investment company net taxable income and net capital gains to shareholders.

Dividends from net investment income and distributions of net realized capital gains, if any, will be declared and paid at least annually. The character of distributions made during the year from net investment income or net realized gains may differ from the characterization for federal income tax purposes due to differences in the recognition of income, expenses and realized gain items for financial statement and tax purposes. Additionally, the Funds may utilize earnings and profits distributed to shareholders on redemption of shares as part of the dividends paid deduction for income tax purposes. Where appropriate, reclassifications between capital accounts are made for such differences that are permanent in nature.

There is no tax liability resulting from unrecognized tax benefits relating to uncertain income tax positions taken or expected to be taken in future tax returns. As of June 30, 2022, open tax years include the tax years ended December 31, 2018 through December 31, 2021. The Funds are also not aware of any tax positions for which it is reasonably possible that the total amounts of unrecognized tax benefits will significantly change in the next twelve months.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (”GAAP”) requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts in the financial statements. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Other

Realized gains and losses on the sale of investments are calculated on the identified cost basis. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date. Interest income is accounted for on the accrual basis and includes amortization of premiums and accretion of discounts on the effective interest method. Other noncash dividends are recognized as investment income at the fair value of the property received. Withholding taxes on foreign dividends have been incorporated in accordance with the Company’s understanding of the applicable country’s tax rules and rates.

3. Investment Adviser

The Trust has entered into Investment Advisory Agreements (the “Agreements”) with Horizon Kinetics Asset Management LLC (the “Adviser”), with whom certain officers and trustees of the Trust are affiliated, to furnish investment advisory services to the Master Portfolios and Spin-off Fund. The Adviser is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Horizon Kinetics LLC. Under the terms of the Agreements, the Master Portfolios, except the Alternative Income Portfolio, compensate the Adviser for its management services at the annual rate of 1.25% of each Master Portfolio’s average daily net assets. The Alternative Income Portfolio compensates the Adviser for its management services at the annual rate of 0.90% of the Master Portfolio’s average daily net assets. The Spinoff Fund compensates the Adviser for its management services at the annual rate of 1.00% of the Fund’s average daily net assets.

The Adviser has agreed to waive a portion of its advisory fee and/or reimburse certain operating expenses as deemed appropriate through at least April 30, 2023. The Adviser may discontinue the waiver/reimbursement at any time after April 30, 2023; these waivers/reimbursements are not subject to recapture. Operating expenses exclude brokerage commissions, borrowing costs on securities sold short, short dividends, interest expense, taxes, acquired fund fees and expenses and extraordinary expenses. Below are operating expense limitations by each share class of each of the funds:

For the period ended June 30, 2022, the Funds were allocated approximately $13,000 for the services of the Chief Compliance Officer employed by the Adviser.

The Company, on behalf of the Funds, has adopted two Retail Distribution Plans pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act (each a “12b-1 Plan”). One 12b-1 Plan is for Advisor Class A shares, while the other 12b-1 Plan is for Advisor Class C shares. Under the 12b-1 Plan for Advisor Class A shares, Advisor Class A shares may pay up to an annual rate of 0.50% of the average daily net asset value of Advisor Class A shares to the Distributor or other qualified recipients under the 12b-1 Plan. During the period ended June 30, 2022, payments under the 12b-1 Plan for the Advisor Class A shares of the Internet, Global, Paradigm, Medical, Small Cap, Market Opportunities, Alternative Income, Multi-Disciplinary Income and Spin-off Funds were limited

As of December 31, 2021, the cost of investments and unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on investment securities for federal income tax purposes was as follows for the Spin-off Fund:

   
  The Spin-off
  Fund
Tax Cost of Investments $ 7,548,518
Unrealized Appreciation 17,628,364
Unrealized Depreciation (1,102,127)
Net Unrealized Appreciation $ 16,526,237

 

Significant Investments

The Spin-off Fund may invest a greater percentage of its assets in one or more individual securities at any time. The greater percentage of assets in individual securities (not including short-term investments or other funds) exposes the fund to the risk of unanticipated industry conditions, the risks particular to a single company or security, and the risk of potentially lower liquidity. At June 30, 2022, Spin-off Fund invested approximately 71% of its net assets in individual securities greater than 5% of net assets. See the Schedule of Investments for further details.

Holding a large concentration in a single security or issuer may expose the fund 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. At June 30, 2022, the Spin-off Fund holds 64% of its net assets in Texas Pacific Land Trust and because a large portion of its revenue is derived from oil and gas royalties, the performance of the Fund could be adversely affected if the underlying markets for oil or gas were to decline, thereby having a more significant impact on the fund given the concentration in this holding.

7. Summary of Fair Value Exposure – Spin-off Fund

Various inputs are used in determining the value of the Spin-off Fund’s investments. These inputs are summarized in the three broad levels listed below:

Level 1 — Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the Spin-off Fund has the ability to access.

64


 
 

 

 

KINETICS MUTUAL FUNDS, INC. — THE FEEDER FUNDS

Notes to Financial Statements — (Continued)

June 30, 2022 (Unaudited)

 

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

Level 3 — Unobservable inputs for the asset or liability, to the extent relevant observable inputs are not available, representing the Spin-off Fund’s own assumptions about the assumptions a market participant would use in valuing the asset or liability, and would be based on the best information available.

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 instruments categorized in Level 3.

The inputs used to measure fair value may fall into different levels of the fair value hierarchy. In such cases, for disclosure purposes, 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 following is a summary of the inputs used to value The Spin-off Fund’s net assets as of June 30, 2022:

The following is a summary of the inputs used to value The Kinetics Spin-off and Corporate Restructuring Fund's net assets as of June 30, 2022:

Total Investments in Securities $21,605,828 $1,694,525 $ — $23,300,353

 

As of June 30, 2022, there were no investments in Level 3 securities.

During the period ended June 30, 2022, there were no transfers into or out of Level 3.

11. Recent Accounting Pronouncements

Reference Rate Reform

In March 2020, FASB issued ASU 2020-04, Reference Rate Reform: Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting. The main objective of the new guidance is to provide relief to companies that will be impacted by the expected change in benchmark interest rates at the end of 2021, when participating banks will no longer be required to submit London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) quotes by the UK Financial Conduct Authority. The new guidance allows companies to, provided the only change to existing contracts are a change to an approved benchmark interest rate, account for modifications as a continuance of the existing contract without additional analysis. In addition, derivative contracts that qualified for hedge accounting prior to modification, will be allowed to continue to receive such treatment, even if critical terms change due to a change in the benchmark interest rate. For new and existing contracts, the Funds may elect to apply the amendments as of March 12, 2020 through December 31, 2022. Management is currently assessing the impact of the ASU’s adoption to the Funds’ financial statements and various filings.

Investment Company Derivatives Risk Management Program (Rule 18f-4)

In October 2020, the SEC adopted new regulations governing the use of derivatives by registered investment companies (“Rule 18f-4”). Rule 18f-4 will impose limits on the amount of derivatives a Portfolio can enter into, eliminate the asset segregation framework currently used by portfolios to comply with Section 18 of the 1940 Act, and require portfolios whose use of derivatives is greater than a limited specified amount to establish and maintain a comprehensive derivatives risk management program and appoint a derivatives risk manager. Portfolios will be required to comply with Rule 18f-4 by August 19, 2022. It is not currently clear what impact, if any, Rule 18f-4 will have on the availability, liquidity or performance of derivatives. Management is currently evaluating the potential impact of Rule 18f-4 on the Portfolio(s). When fully implemented, Rule 18f-4 may require changes in how a Portfolio uses derivatives, adversely affect the Portfolio’s performance and increase costs related to the Portfolio’s use of derivatives.

SEC Modernizes Framework for Fund Valuation Practices (Rule 2a-5)

In December 2020, the SEC adopted a new rule providing a framework for portfolio valuation practices (“Rule 2a-5”). Rule 2a-5 establishes requirements for determining fair value in good faith for purposes of the 1940 Act. Rule 2a-5 will permit portfolio boards to designate certain parties to perform fair value determinations, subject to board oversight and certain other conditions. Rule 2a-5 also defines when market quotations are “readily available” for purposes of the 1940 Act and the threshold for determining whether a portfolio must fair value a security. In connection with Rule 2a-5, the SEC also adopted related recordkeeping requirements and is rescinding previously issued guidance, including with respect to the role of a board in determining fair value and the accounting and auditing of portfolio investments. The Portfolios will be required to comply with the rules by September 8, 2022. Management is currently assessing the potential impact of the new rules on the Portfolios’ financial statements.

14. Approval of Investment Advisory Contract by Directors of Kinetics Mutual Funds, Inc. (Unaudited)

At a meeting of the Board of Directors of the Company held on March 10, 2022, the Board, including all of the Directors who are not interested persons under the 1940 Act (the “Independent Directors”), approved the Advisory Agreement between Horizon Kinetics Asset Management LLC (the “Adviser”) and Kinetics Spin-off and Corporate Restructuring Fund (“Spin-off Fund”). In reaching a decision to approve the Advisory Agreement (the “Agreement”), the Board of Directors, including all of the Independent Directors, considered, among other things; (1) the nature, extent and quality of the services provided by the Adviser including, but not limited to, a review of the complexity of the services provided and whether the services are provided in a satisfactory and efficient manner; (2) the performance of the Spin-off Fund over various time periods, and as compared to the relevant peer group, as well as the performance of the Spin-off Fund as compared to its benchmark index; (3) the management fee and net expense ratio of the Spin-off Fund, as compared to the management fees and expense ratios for the relevant peer group; (4) the experience and qualifications of the Adviser’s personnel and the Adviser’s portfolio management capabilities and investment methodologies; (5) the extent to which economies of scale are relevant given the current asset size and current asset growth potential of the Spin-off Fund; (6) the financial condition of the Adviser; (7) the cost of services provided by the Adviser and the Adviser’s profitability from the Spin-off Fund for the year ended December 31, 2021; (8) the “fall-out” benefits to the Adviser and its affiliates from the relationship with the Spin-off Fund; (9) the Adviser's operations, compliance program and policies with respect to the code of ethics of the Spin-off Fund; (10) that the Spin-off Fund is designed for long-term investors; and (11) the policies and procedures that are in place to address, among other things, informational and cyber-related security.

The Board of Directors, including all of the Independent Directors, concluded that: they were satisfied with the quality of services provided by the Adviser in advising the Spin-off Fund, the profits earned by the Adviser would be reasonable in light of the nature, extent and quality of the services provided to

the Spin-off Fund; and that the Spin-off Fund was not large enough to attain significant economies of scale. Based on the factors considered, the Board of Directors, including all of the Independent Directors, concluded that it was appropriate to approve the Agreement.

15. Liquidity Risk Management Program

Effective June 1, 2019, the Funds adopted a liquidity risk management program (the “Liquidity Risk Management Program” or “Program”) pursuant to the requirements of Rule 22e-4 under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended. Rule 22e-4 requires registered open-end funds, including mutual funds and exchange-traded funds but not money market funds, to establish liquidity risk management programs in order to effectively manage fund liquidity and shareholder redemptions. The rule is designed to mitigate the risk that a fund could not meet redemption requests without significantly diluting the interests of remaining investors.

The rule requires funds to assess, manage and review their liquidity risk at least annually considering applicable factors such as investment strategy and liquidity during normal and foreseeable stressed conditions, including whether the strategy is appropriate for an open-end fund and whether the fund has a relatively concentrated portfolio or large positions in particular issuers. A fund must also assess its use of borrowings and derivatives, short-term and long-term cash flow projections in normal and stressed conditions, holdings of cash and cash equivalents, and borrowing arrangements and other funding sources.

The rule also requires funds to classify their investments as highly liquid, moderately liquid, less liquid or illiquid based on the number of days a fund expects it would take to liquidate the investment, and to review these classifications at least monthly or more often under certain conditions. The periods range from three or fewer business days for a highly liquid investment to greater than seven calendar days for settlement of a less liquid investment. Illiquid investments are those a fund does not expect to be able to sell or dispose of within seven calendar days without significantly changing the market value. A fund is prohibited from acquiring an investment if, after the acquisition, its holdings of illiquid assets will exceed 15% of its net assets. In

addition, if a fund permits redemptions in-kind, the rule requires the fund to establish redemption in-kind policies and procedures governing how and when it will engage in such redemptions.

Pursuant to the rule’s requirements, the Liquidity Risk Management Program has been reviewed and approved by the Company’s Board of Directors (the “Board”). Furthermore, the Board receives a written report prepared by the Program’s Administrator that addresses the operation of the Program, assesses its adequacy and effectiveness and any material changes made to the Program.

Assessment of Program

In the opinion of the Program Administrator, the Program approved by the Board continues to be adequate for the Funds and the Program has been implemented effectively. The Program Administrator has monitored each Fund’s liquidity risk and the liquidity classification of the securities held by the Funds and determined that the Program is operating effectively.

During the period from April 1, 2021 to March 31, 2022, there were no material changes to the Program and no material liquidity events that impacted the Funds. During the period, the Funds held sufficient highly liquid assets to meet fund redemptions.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

1. Organization

The Kinetics Portfolios Trust (the “Trust”) was organized as a Delaware Statutory Trust on March 14, 2000 and is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”), as an open-end management investment company issuing its beneficial interests in series, each series representing a distinct portfolio with its own investment objective and policies. The series currently authorized are: The Internet Portfolio, The Global Portfolio, The Paradigm Portfolio, The Medical Portfolio, The Small Cap Opportunities Portfolio, The Market Opportunities Portfolio, The Alternative Income Portfolio and The Multi-Disciplinary Income Portfolio (collectively, the “Master Portfolios”). Pursuant to the 1940 Act, the Master Portfolios, are “non- diversified” series of the Trust, except The Global Portfolio, The Alternative Income Portfolio and The Multi-Disciplinary Income Portfolio. The Market Opportunities Portfolio commenced operations on January 31, 2006, The Alternative Income Portfolio commenced operations on June 29, 2007 and The Multi-Disciplinary Income Portfolio commenced operations on February 11, 2008. Each of the remaining Master Portfolios commenced operations on April 28, 2000.

Each Master Portfolio is a Master Investment Portfolio in a master-feeder fund structure. Each Master Portfolio has multiple feeder funds invested in the Master Portfolio. By contributing assets to the Master Portfolio, the feeder funds receive a beneficial interest in the Master Portfolio. The Master Portfolio then invests the contributed assets in portfolio securities and allocates income, gains (losses) and expenses to the feeder funds based on the feeder funds’ proportionate interests in the Master Portfolio.

Each of the Master Portfolios, except for The Alternative Income Portfolio and The Multi-Disciplinary Income Portfolio, seeks to provide investors with long-term capital growth. The Alternative Income Portfolio seeks to provide current income and gains. The Multi-Disciplinary Income Portfolio seeks to provide investors with total return. The Internet Portfolio invests primarily in the equity securities of U.S. and foreign companies engaged in the Internet and Internet-related activities. The Global Portfolio generally invests in the equity securities of foreign companies that have the ability to facilitate an increase in the growth of their traditional business lines and in U.S. companies benefiting from international economic growth. The Paradigm Portfolio invests primarily in the equity securities of U.S. and foreign companies that the investment adviser believes are undervalued and that have high returns on equity and are well

positioned to reduce their costs, extend the reach of their distribution channels and experience significant growth in their assets or revenues. The Medical Portfolio invests primarily in the equity securities of U.S. and foreign companies engaged in medical research, pharmaceutical treatments and related medical technology industries and related technology industries, generally, with a focus on companies engaged in cancer research and drug development. The Small Cap Opportunities Portfolio invests primarily in the equity securities of U.S. and foreign small capitalized companies that provide attractive valuation opportunities due to special situations such as lack of institutional ownership, lack of significant analyst coverage or companies with sound fundamentals that have experienced a short-term earnings shortfall. The Market Opportunities Portfolio invests primarily in the equity securities of U.S. and foreign companies engaged in capital markets or related to capital markets, as well as companies involved in the gaming industry. The Alternative Income and Multi-Disciplinary Income Portfolios utilize a two-part investment strategy, which includes fixed income and derivatives components. The Internet Portfolio, Global Portfolio, Paradigm Portfolio, Small Cap Opportunities Portfolio and Market Opportunities Portfolio utilize wholly-owned subsidiaries to achieve their investment objectives. Please see Note 2 for further details.

2. Significant Accounting Policies

Security Valuation

Master Portfolios equity securities that are listed on a securities exchange for which market quotations are readily available are valued at the last quoted sale price on the day the valuation is made. Price information on listed securities is taken from the exchange where the security is primarily traded. All equity securities, including exchange-traded funds, that are traded using the National Association of Securities Dealers’ Automated Quotation System (“NASDAQ”) are valued using the NASDAQ Official Closing Price (“NOCP”). In the event market quotations are not readily available or if events occur that may materially affect the value of a particular security between the time trading ends on a particular security and the close of regular trading on the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”), “fair value” will be determined. Unlisted equity securities and listed equity securities not traded on the valuation date for which market quotations are readily available are valued at the last bid price. Futures, options on futures and swap contracts that are listed or traded on a national securities exchange, commodities exchange, contract market or over-the-counter markets

KINETICS PORTFOLIOS TRUST — MASTER INVESTMENT PORTFOLIOS

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements —

and are freely transferable will be valued at the composite price, using the National Best Bid and Offer quotes (“NBBO”). NBBO consists of the highest bid price and lowest ask price across any of the exchanges on which an option is quoted, thus providing a view across the entire U.S. options marketplace.

Composite option pricing calculates the mean of the highest bid price and lowest asked price across the exchanges where the option is traded. If a composite option price is not available, then a quote provided by one of the authorized pricing vendors will be used. If neither a composite price nor a quote from an authorized pricing provider is available, and it is the day of expiration or post-expiration, expiring options will be priced at intrinsic value. Non-exchange-traded options for which over-the-counter quotations are not readily available are valued at the mean between the last bid and asked quotations. Debt obligations (including convertible securities) that are either investment grade or below investment grade and irrespective of days to maturity are valued at evaluated mean by one of the authorized third party pricing agents which rely on various valuation methodologies such as matrix pricing and other analytical pricing models as well as market transactions and dealer quotations. Certain instruments, such as repurchase agreements and demand notes, do not have values from third parties and are valued at amortized cost. Investments in registered open-end investment companies (including money market funds), other than exchange-traded funds, are valued at their reported net asset value (“NAV”).

Other assets and securities for which no quotations are readily available (including restricted securities) will be valued in good faith at fair value using methods determined by the Board of Trustees of the Master Portfolios. In determining the fair value of a security, the Board of Trustees shall take into account the relevant factors and surrounding circumstances, which may include: (i) the nature and pricing history (if any) of the security; (ii) whether any dealer quotations for the security are available; (iii) possible valuation methodologies that could be used to determine the fair value of the security; (iv) the recommendation of the portfolio manager of the Portfolios with respect to the valuation of the security; (v) whether the same or similar securities are held by other funds managed by the Adviser or other funds and the method used to price the security in those funds; (vi) the extent to which the fair value to be determined for the security will result from the use of data or formula produced by third parties independent of the Adviser; (vii) the liquidity or illiquidity of the market for the security; and (viii) the value of a foreign security traded on other foreign

markets. At June 30, 2022, 1.37%, 1.31%, 0.06%, 0.35%, 3.11% and 0.68% of the net assets of The Internet Portfolio, The Global Portfolio, The Paradigm Portfolio, The Small Cap Opportunities Portfolio, The Market Opportunities Portfolio and The Multi-Disciplinary Income Portfolio respectively, were fair valued securities. The other Master Portfolios did not hold any fair valued securities at June 30, 2022.

Bitcoin

The Master Portfolios may invest in Grayscale Bitcoin Trust, a Delaware statutory trust (“Bitcoin Trust”) that invests in bitcoins. From time to time, the Bitcoin Trust issues creation units in exchange for bitcoins and distributes bitcoins in exchange for redemption units. The performance of the Bitcoin Trust is intended to reflect changes in the value of the Trust’s bitcoin investments. At June 30, 2022, 17.8%, 7.1%, 2.9%, 1.4%, and 6.2% of the net assets of The Internet Portfolio, The Global Portfolio, The Paradigm Portfolio, The Small Cap Opportunities Portfolio and The Market Opportunities Portfolio, respectively, were invested in the Bitcoin Trust. Investments in bitcoins produce non-qualifying income under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code.

Bitcoin is a decentralized digital currency that enables instant transfers to anyone, anywhere in the world. Managing transactions in bitcoins occurs via an open source, cryptographic protocol central authority. The Bitcoin Network is an online, end-user-to-end-user network that hosts the public transaction ledger, known as the Blockchain, and the source code that comprises the basis for the cryptographic and algorithmic protocols governing the Bitcoin Network. No single entity owns or operates the Bitcoin Network, the infrastructure of which is collectively maintained by a decentralized user base. Since the Bitcoin Network is decentralized, it does not rely on either governmental authorities or financial institutions to create, transmit or determine the value of bitcoins. Rather, the value of bitcoins is determined by the supply of and demand for bitcoins in the global bitcoin exchange market for the trading of bitcoins, which consists of transactions on electronic bitcoin exchanges (“Bitcoin Exchanges”). Pricing on Bitcoin Exchanges and other venues can be volatile and can adversely affect the value of the Bitcoin Trust. Currently, there is relatively small use of bitcoins in the retail and commercial marketplace in comparison to the relatively large use of bitcoins by speculators, thus contributing to price volatility that could adversely affect a Master Portfolio’s direct or indirect investment in the Bitcoin Trust. Bitcoin transactions are irrevocable, and stolen or incorrectly transferred bitcoins may be irretrievable. As a result, any

153


 
 

 

 

KINETICS PORTFOLIOS TRUST — MASTER INVESTMENT PORTFOLIOS

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements —

incorrectly executed bitcoin transactions could adversely affect the value of a Master Portfolio’s direct or indirect investment in the Bitcoin Trust. Shares of the Bitcoin Trust may trade at a premium or discount to the net asset value of the Bitcoin Trust. The price of bitcoins is set in transfers by mutual agreement or barter as well as the number of merchants that accept bitcoins. Because bitcoins are digital files that can be transferred without the involvement of intermediaries or third parties, there are little or no transaction costs in direct end-user-to-end-user transactions. Bitcoins can be used to pay for goods and services or can be converted to fiat currencies, such as the U.S. dollar, at rates determined by the Bitcoin Exchanges. Additionally, third party service providers such as Bitcoin Exchanges are also used for transfers but they may charge significant fees for processing transactions.

As bitcoins have grown in popularity, the U.S. Congress and a number of federal and state agencies (including the Financial Crimes Enforcement Network (FinCEN), the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, the Commodity Futures Trading Commission, the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, the Department of Justice, the Department of Homeland Security, the Federal Bureau of Investigation, the IRS, and state financial institution regulators) have begun to examine the operations of the network that facilitates bitcoins, bitcoin users and the Bitcoin Exchanges, with particular focus on (1) the extent to which bitcoins can be used to launder the proceeds of illegal activities or fund criminal or terrorist enterprises, (2) the safety and soundness of the Bitcoin Exchange or other service-providers that hold bitcoins for users and (3) other risks to investors and consumers who hold and use bitcoins. Ongoing and future regulatory actions may alter, perhaps to a materially adverse extent, the value of a Master Portfolio’s and its Subsidiary’s investment in the Bitcoin Trust or the ability of the Bitcoin Trust to continue to operate.

Consolidation of Subsidiaries

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Cayman, Ltd., Cayman wholly-owned Controlled Foreign Corporations (“CFCs”) and the accounts of Delaware Corporations (the “Cayman” or “Delaware”, respectively, or “Subsidiaries” for both). The respective Master Portfolios hold a CFC: Internet Portfolio, Global Portfolio, Paradigm Portfolio, Small Cap Opportunities Portfolio and Market Opportunities Portfolio. The respective Master Portfolios hold a Delaware subsidiary: Internet Portfolio, Global Portfolio and Market

154


 
 

 

 

KINETICS PORTFOLIOS TRUST — MASTER INVESTMENT PORTFOLIOS

Opportunities Portfolio. Each Master Portfolio can invest up to 25% of its total assets in the Subsidiaries. The Subsidiaries act as an investment vehicle in order to invest in commodity-linked and bitcoin-linked instruments consistent with the Portfolio’s investment objectives and policies. By investing in its Subsidiaries, a Master Portfolio is indirectly exposed to the risks associated with the Subsidiary’s investments. The investments held by a Subsidiary are generally similar to those that are permitted to be held by the Master Portfolio and are subject to the same risks that apply to similar investments if held directly by the Master Portfolio. Each Subsidiary is not registered under the 1940 Act and is not subject to all the investor protections of the 1940 Act. However, each Master Portfolio wholly-owns and controls its Subsidiaries, making it unlikely that the Subsidiaries will take action contrary to the interests of the Master Portfolio. Each Subsidiary will be subject to the same investment restrictions and limitations and follow the same compliance policies and procedures as its Master Portfolio.

The Cayman Subsidiary is an exempted Cayman investment company and is not subject to Cayman Islands taxes at the present time. For U.S. income tax purposes, each Cayman Subsidiary is a CFC not subject to U.S. income taxes. As a wholly-owned CFC, however, each Cayman Subsidiary’s net income and capital gain will be included each year in the respective Portfolio’s investment company taxable income.

As of June 30, 2022, the respective Cayman Subsidiary’s net assets and percent of the respective Portfolio’s net assets were:

Internet Portfolio $11,031,558 7.58%
Global Portfolio 1,039,392 4.00%
Paradigm Portfolio 25,458,880 3.15%
Small Cap Opportunities Portfolio 4,055,257 1.56%
Market Opportunities Portfolio 3,900,806 3.33%

 

The Delaware Subsidiary is organized under Delaware law. Any net gains that the Delaware Subsidiary recognizes on future sales of the contributed Bitcoin Trust shares will be subject to federal and state corporate income tax, but the dividends that the Delaware Subsidiary pays to its respective Master Portfolio (i.e., those gains, net of the tax paid and any other expenses of the Delaware Subsidiary) will be eligible to be treated as “qualified dividend income” under the Internal Revenue Code.

KINETICS PORTFOLIOS TRUST — MASTER INVESTMENT PORTFOLIOS

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements —

(Continued) June 30, 2022 (Unaudited)

 

As of June 30, 2022, the respective Delaware Subsidiary’s net assets and percent of the respective Portfolio’s net assets were:

Internet Portfolio $2,774 0.00%
Global Portfolio 2,762 0.01%
Market Opportunities Portfolio 2,812 0.00%

 

Repurchase Agreements

Each Master Portfolio may enter into repurchase agreements with banks that are members of the Federal Reserve System or securities dealers who are members of a national securities exchange or are primary dealers in U.S. Government Securities. In connection with transactions in repurchase agreements, it is the Trust’s policy that the Master Portfolio receive, as collateral, securities whose market value, including accrued interest, at all times will be at least equal to 102% of the amount invested by the Master Portfolio in each repurchase agreement. If the seller defaults, and the value of the collateral declines, realization of the collateral by the Master Portfolio may be delayed or limited.

Written Options

The Master Portfolios may write (sell) call or put options for trading or hedging purposes. When a Master Portfolio writes an option, an amount equal to the premium received by the Master Portfolio is included in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities as an asset and an equivalent liability. The amount of the liability is subsequently marked-to-market to reflect the current value of the option written. By writing the option, the Master Portfolio may become obligated during the term of the option to deliver or purchase the securities underlying the option at the exercise price if the option is exercised. When an option expires on its stipulated expiration date or the Master Portfolio enters into a closing purchase transaction, the Master Portfolio realizes a gain or loss if the cost of the closing transaction differs from the premium received when the option was sold, without regard to any unrealized gain or loss on the underlying security, and the liability related to such option is eliminated. When an option is exercised, the premium originally received decreases the cost basis of the underlying security (or increases the proceeds on the security sold short) and the Master Portfolio realizes a gain or loss from the sale of the security (or closing of the short sale). As collateral for uncovered written options, the Master Portfolio is required under the 1940 Act to maintain assets consisting of cash, cash equivalents or unencumbered, liquid securities. This collateral is required

156


 
 

 

 

KINETICS PORTFOLIOS TRUST — MASTER INVESTMENT PORTFOLIOS

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements —

(Continued) June 30, 2022 (Unaudited)

 

to be adjusted daily to reflect the exercise price of the purchase obligation for put options or the market value of the instrument underlying the contract for call options.

Foreign Currency Translations

The books and records of the Master Portfolios are maintained in U.S. dollars. For the Master Portfolios, foreign currency transactions are translated into U.S. dollars on the following basis: (i) market values of investment securities and other assets and liabilities are translated at the exchange rate of such currencies against the U.S. dollar, as provided by an approved pricing service, and (ii) purchases and sales of investment securities, dividend and interest income and certain expenses at the rates of exchange prevailing on the respective dates of such transactions. The Master Portfolios do not isolate and treat as ordinary income that portion of the results of operations arising as a result of changes in the exchange rate from the fluctuations arising from changes in the market prices of securities held during the period. Such fluctuations are included with the net realized and unrealized gain or loss from investments. However, for federal income tax purposes, the Master Portfolios do isolate and treat as ordinary income the effect of changes in foreign exchange rates arising from actual foreign currency transactions and the effect of changes in foreign exchange rates arising between trade date and settlement date.

Restricted and Illiquid Securities

The Master Portfolios may invest in restricted securities. These securities are valued by the Master Portfolios after giving due consideration to pertinent factors including recent private sales, market conditions and the issuer’s financial performance. The Master Portfolios have no right to require registration of unregistered securities. The 144A securities have been deemed to be liquid by the Master Portfolios Adviser under the supervision of the Board of Trustees. At June 30, 2022, none of the Master Portfolios held securities restricted to institutional investors (144A Securities).

An illiquid asset is any asset which may not be sold or disposed of in current market conditions within seven days without the sale or disposition significantly changing the market value of the investment. At June 30, 2022, the following Master Portfolios held illiquid securities:

The Internet Portfolio $1,994,502 1.37%
The Global Portfolio 341,084 1.31%
The Paradigm Portfolio 507,923 0.06%
The Small Cap Opportunities Portfolio 914,397 0.35%
The Market Opportunities Portfolio 3,644,234 3.11%
The Multi-Disciplinary Income Portfolio 122,061 0.68%

 

When-Issued Securities

The Master Portfolios may purchase securities on a when-issued or delayed delivery basis. Although the purchase amounts of these securities are established at the time the purchaser enters into the agreement, these securities may be delivered and paid for at a future date. The Master Portfolios record purchases of when-issued securities and reflect the values of such securities in determining net asset value in the same manner as other portfolio securities. The Master Portfolios maintain at all times cash or other liquid assets in an amount at least equal to the amount of outstanding commitments for when-issued securities.

Securities Lending

Each Master Portfolio may lend its portfolio securities to broker-dealers by entering directly into lending arrangements with such broker dealers or indirectly through repurchase agreements with respect to no more than 33 1 / 3 % of the total assets of each Master Portfolio (including any collateral posted) or 50% of the total assets of each Master Portfolio (excluding any collateral posted). Securities lending and repurchase transactions will be fully collateralized at all times with cash and/or short-term debt obligations. The Master Portfolios receive interest on the collateral received as well as a fee for the securities loaned.

Significant Investments

The Portfolios may invest a greater percentage of their assets in one or more individual securities at any time. The greater percentage of assets in individual securities (not including short-term investments or other funds) expose the portfolios to the risk of unanticipated industry conditions, the risks particular to a single company or security, and the risk of potentially lower liquidity. At June 30, 2022, The Internet Portfolio, The Global Portfolio, The Paradigm Portfolio, The Medical Portfolio, The Small Cap Opportunities Portfolio, The Market Opportunities Portfolio and The Multi-Disciplinary Income Portfolio invested

158

approximately 47%, 29%, 61%, 68%, 70%, 52% and 30% of their respective net assets in individual securities greater than 5% of net assets. See the respective Schedule of Investments for further details.

Holding a large concentration in a single security or issuer may expose the portfolios 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 portfolios’ performance. At June 30, 2022, The Internet Portfolio, The Global Portfolio, The Paradigm Portfolio, The Small Cap Opportunities Portfolio and The Market Opportunities Portfolio held 21%, 17%, 61%, 57% and 46% of their respective net assets in Texas Pacific Land Trust and because a large portion of its revenue is derived from oil and gas royalties, the performance of the portfolios could be adversely affected if the underlying markets for oil and gas were to decline, thereby having a more significant impact on the portfolios given the concentration in this holding.

Short-Term Investments

The Portfolios may invest in money market funds and short-term high quality debt securities such as commercial paper, repurchase agreements and certificates of deposit. Money market funds typically invest in short-term instruments and attempt to maintain a stable net asset value. While the risk is low, these funds may lose value.

Expense Allocation

Common expenses incurred by the Master Portfolios are allocated among the Master Portfolios (i) based upon relative average net assets, (ii) as incurred on a specific identification basis, or (iii) equally among the Master Portfolios, depending on the nature of the expenditure. All expenses incurred by the Master Portfolios are allocated to the Feeder Funds daily based on their proportionate interests in the respective Master Portfolios.

Federal Income Taxes

Each Master Portfolio will be treated as a partnership for federal income tax purposes. As such, each investor in a Master Portfolio will be subject to taxation on its share of the Master Portfolio’s ordinary income and capital gains. It is intended that each Master Portfolio’s assets will be managed so an investor in the Master Portfolio can satisfy the requirements of subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code.

There is no tax liability resulting from unrecognized tax benefits relating to uncertain income tax positions taken or expected to be taken in future tax returns. As of June 30, 2022, open tax years include the tax years ended December 31, 2018 through December 31, 2021. The Master Portfolios are also not aware of any tax positions for which it is reasonably possible that the total amounts of unrecognized tax benefits will significantly change in the next twelve months.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts in the financial statements. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Other

Realized gains and losses on the sale of investments are calculated on the identified cost basis. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date. Interest income is accounted for on the accrual basis and includes amortization of premiums and accretion of discounts on the effective interest method. Other noncash dividends are recognized as investment income at the fair value of the property received. Withholding taxes on foreign dividends have been incorporated in accordance with the Trust’s understanding of the applicable country’s tax rules and rates.

3. Investment Adviser

The Trust has entered into Investment Advisory Agreements (the “Agreements”) with Horizon Kinetics Asset Management LLC (the “Adviser”), with whom certain officers and trustees of the Trust are affiliated, to furnish investment advisory services to the Master Portfolios. The Adviser is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Horizon Kinetics LLC. Under the terms of the Agreements, the Master Portfolios, except the Alternative Income Portfolio, compensate the Adviser for its management services at the annual rate of 1.25% of each Master Portfolio’s average daily net assets. The Alternative Income Portfolio compensates the Adviser for its management services at the annual rate of 0.90% of the Master Portfolio’s average daily net assets.

4. Approval of Investment Advisory Contract by Trustees of Kinetics Portfolios Trust (Unaudited)

At a meeting of the Board of Trustees of the Trust held on March 10, 2022, the Board, including a majority of the Trustees who are not interested persons under the 1940 Act (the “Independent Trustees”), approved the Advisory Agreements with respect to each Master Portfolio. In reaching a decision to approve the Advisory Agreements (the “Agreements”), the Board of Trustees, including a majority of the Independent Trustees, considered, among other things; (1) the nature, extent and quality of the services provided by the Adviser including, but not limited to, a review of the complexity of the services provided and whether the services are provided in a satisfactory and efficient manner; (2) the performance of the Master Portfolios over the one-, three-, five-and ten-year periods, as applicable, ended December 31, 2021, and as compared to the relevant peer group, as well as the performance of the Master Portfolios as compared to their respective benchmark indices; (3) the management fees and net expense ratios of each Master Portfolio, as compared to the management fees and expense ratios for relevant peer groups; (4) the experience and qualifications of the Adviser’s personnel and the Adviser’s portfolio management capabilities and investment methodologies; (5) the extent to which economies of scale are relevant given the current asset size and current asset growth potential of the Master Portfolios; (6) the financial condition of the Adviser; (7) the cost of services provided by the Adviser and the Adviser’s profitability from each Master Portfolio for the year ended

December 31, 2021; (8) the “fall-out” benefits to the Adviser and its affiliates from the relationship with the Trust; (9) the Adviser's operations, compliance program and policies with respect to the Code of Ethics; (10) that each Fund and each Master Portfolio is designed for long-term investors; and (11) the policies and procedures that are in place to address, among other things, informational and cyber-related security.

The Board of Trustees, including a majority of the Independent Trustees, concluded that: they were satisfied with the quality of services provided by the Adviser in advising the Master Portfolios, the profits earned by the Adviser were reasonable in light of the nature, extent and quality of the services provided to each Master Portfolio; and that each Master Portfolio was not large enough to attain significant economies of scale. Based on the factors considered, the Board of Trustees, including a majority of the Independent Trustees, concluded that it was appropriate to approve the Agreements.

5. Liquidity Risk Management Program

Effective June 1, 2019, the Funds adopted a liquidity risk management program (the “Liquidity Risk Management Program” or “Program”) pursuant to the requirements of Rule 22e-4 under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended. Rule 22e-4 requires registered open-end funds, including mutual funds and exchange-traded funds but not money market funds, to establish liquidity risk management programs in order to effectively manage fund liquidity and shareholder redemptions. The rule is designed to mitigate the risk that a fund could not meet redemption requests without significantly diluting the interests of remaining investors.

The rule requires funds to assess, manage and review their liquidity risk at least annually considering applicable factors such as investment strategy and liquidity during normal and foreseeable stressed conditions, including whether the strategy is appropriate for an open-end fund and whether the fund has a relatively concentrated portfolio or large positions in particular issuers. A fund must also assess its use of borrowings and derivatives, short-term and long-term cash flow projections in normal and stressed conditions, holdings of cash and cash equivalents, and borrowing arrangements and other funding sources.

162


 
 

 

 

KINETICS PORTFOLIOS TRUST — MASTER INVESTMENT PORTFOLIOS

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements —

(Continued) June 30, 2022 (Unaudited)

 

The rule also requires funds to classify their investments as highly liquid, moderately liquid, less liquid or illiquid based on the number of days a fund expects it would take to liquidate the investment, and to review these classifications at least monthly or more often under certain conditions. The periods range from three or fewer business days for a highly liquid investment to greater than seven calendar days for settlement of a less liquid investment. Illiquid investments are those a fund does not expect to be able to sell or dispose of within seven calendar days without significantly changing the market value. A fund is prohibited from acquiring an investment if, after the acquisition, its holdings of illiquid assets will exceed 15% of its net assets. In addition, if a fund permits redemptions in-kind, the rule requires the fund to establish redemption in-kind policies and procedures governing how and when it will engage in such redemptions.

Pursuant to the rule’s requirements, the Liquidity Risk Management Program has been reviewed and approved by the Trust’s Board of Trustees (the “Board”). Furthermore, the Board receives a written report prepared by the Program’s Administrator that addresses the operation of the Program, assesses its adequacy and effectiveness and any material changes made to the Program.

Assessment of Program

In the opinion of the Program Administrator, the Program approved by the Board continues to be adequate for the Master Portfolios and the Program has been implemented effectively. The Program Administrator has monitored each Master Portfolio’s liquidity risk and the liquidity classification of the securities held by the Master Portfolios and determined that the Program is operating effectively.

During the period from April 1, 2021 to March 31, 2022, there were no material changes to the Program and no material liquidity events that impacted the Master Portfolios. During the period, the Master Portfolios held sufficient highly liquid assets to meet fund redemptions.

7. Portfolio Securities Loaned

As of June 30, 2022, the Master Portfolios had loaned securities that were collateralized by cash. The majority of the cash collateral is invested by the custodian in a money market pooled account approved by the Adviser. Although risk is mitigated by the collateral, a Master Portfolio could experience a delay in recovering its securities and possible loss of income or value if the borrower fails to return them. The Master Portfolio receives interest on the collateral received as well as a fee for the securities loaned. The Master

KINETICS PORTFOLIOS TRUST — MASTER INVESTMENT PORTFOLIOS

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements —

(Continued) June 30, 2022 (Unaudited)

 

Portfolios will continue to receive dividends and interest on all securities loaned. Gain or loss in the fair value of the securities loaned that may occur during the term of the loan will be accounted for by the Master Portfolios. Loans of securities are terminable at any time and the borrower, after notice, is required to return borrowed securities within the standard time period for settlement of securities transactions. As the securities loans are subject to termination by the Funds or the borrower at any time, the remaining maturities of the outstanding securities lending transactions are considered to be overnight and continuous. The value of the securities on loan and the value of the related collateral at June 30, 2022, were as follows:

     
  Securities Collateral
The Internet Portfolio $695,125 $798,482
The Global Portfolio 2,084 2,146
The Paradigm Portfolio 259,667 267,397

9. Summary of Fair Value Exposure

Various inputs are used in determining the value of Master Portfolio’s and Spinoff Fund’s investments. These inputs are summarized in the three broad levels listed below:

Level 1 — Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that Master Portfolio’s and Spin-off Fund has the ability to access.

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

Level 3 — Unobservable inputs for the asset or liability, to the extent relevant observable inputs are not available, representing the Spin-off Fund’s own assumptions about the assumptions a market participant would use in valuing the asset or liability, and would be based on the best information available.

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 instruments categorized in Level 3.

The inputs used to measure fair value may fall into different levels of the fair value hierarchy. In such cases, for disclosure purposes, 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.

10. Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities

The Master Portfolios have adopted authoritative standards regarding disclosure of derivatives and hedging activity intended to improve financial reporting of derivative instruments by enabling investors to understand how and why a Master Portfolio uses derivatives, how derivatives are accounted for by the Master Portfolios, and how derivative instruments affect a Master Portfolio’s results of operations and financial position. The Master Portfolios utilized options to implement or to gain further exposure to their respective investment strategies. At June 30, 2022, none of the Portfolios held any derivative instruments and there were no transactions during the period ended June 30, 2022.

11. Offsetting Assets and Liabilities

The Master Portfolios are subject to various Master Netting Arrangements, which govern the terms of certain transactions with select counterparties. The Master Netting Arrangements allow a Portfolio to close out and net its total exposure to a counterparty in the event of a default with respect to all the transactions governed under a single agreement with a counterparty. The Master Netting Arrangements also specify collateral posting arrangements at pre- arranged exposure levels. Under the Master Netting Arrangements, collateral is routinely transferred if the total net exposure to certain transactions (net of existing collateral already in place) governed under the relevant Master Netting Arrangement with a counterparty in a given account exceeds a specific threshold depending on the counterparty and the type of Master Netting Arrangement.

The following is a summary of the Assets and Liabilities subject to offsetting in the Master Portfolios as of June 30, 2022:

12. Subsequent Events

At meetings held on March 10, 2022 and June 16, 2022, the Board of Directors of the Company approved the reorganization of the Medical Fund, the Alternative Income Fund and the Multi-Disciplinary Income Fund into The Medical ETF, The Alternative Income SPAC Active ETF and Horizon AAA Floating Rate Debt ETF, respectively, each a newly created series of Listed Funds Trust. Each reorganization is subject to the approval of the shareholders of the Medical Fund, the Alternative Income Fund and the Multi-Disciplinary Income Fund, respectively. If approved by shareholders, the Medical Portfolio, Alternative Income Portfolio and Multi-Disciplinary Income Portfolio will liquidate and distribute all of its assets to its shareholders, including its corresponding feeder fund, prior to the reorganizations.

In preparing these financial statements, management has evaluated Portfolio related events and transactions for potential recognition or disclosure through the date the financial statements were issued. There were no other events or translations that occurred during the year that materially impacted the amounts or disclosures in the Master Portfolios’ financial statements.

13. Recent Accounting Pronouncements

Reference Rate Reform

In March 2020, FASB issued ASU 2020-04, Reference Rate Reform: Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting. The main objective of the new guidance is to provide relief to companies that will be impacted by the expected change in benchmark interest rates at the end of 2021, when participating banks will no longer be required to submit London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) quotes by the UK Financial Conduct Authority. The new guidance allows companies to, provided the only change to existing contracts are a change to an approved benchmark interest rate, account for modifications as a continuance of the existing contract without additional analysis. In addition, derivative contracts that qualified for hedge accounting prior to modification, will be allowed to continue to receive such treatment, even if critical terms change due to a change in the benchmark interest rate. For new and existing contracts, the Funds may elect to apply the amendments as of March 12, 2020 through December 31, 2022. Management is currently assessing the impact of the ASU’s adoption to the Funds’ financial statements and various filings.

Investment Company Derivatives Risk Management Program (Rule 18f-4)

In October 2020, the SEC adopted new regulations governing the use of derivatives by registered investment companies (“Rule 18f-4”). Rule 18f-4 will impose limits on the amount of derivatives a Portfolio can enter into, eliminate the asset segregation framework currently used by portfolios to comply with Section 18 of the 1940 Act, and require portfolios whose use of derivatives is greater than a limited specified amount to establish and maintain a comprehensive derivatives risk management program and appoint a derivatives risk manager. Portfolios will be required to comply with Rule 18f-4 by August 19, 2022. It is not currently clear what impact, if any, Rule 18f-4 will have on the availability, liquidity or performance of derivatives. Management is currently evaluating the potential impact of Rule 18f-4 on the Portfolio(s). When fully implemented, Rule 18f-4 may require changes in how a Portfolio uses derivatives, adversely affect the Portfolio’s performance and increase costs related to the Portfolio’s use of derivatives.

SEC Modernizes Framework for Fund Valuation Practices (Rule 2a-5)

In December 2020, the SEC adopted a new rule providing a framework for portfolio valuation practices (“Rule 2a-5”). Rule 2a-5 establishes requirements for determining fair value in good faith for purposes of the 1940 Act. Rule 2a-5 will permit portfolio boards to designate certain parties to perform fair value determinations, subject to board oversight and certain other conditions. Rule 2a-5 also defines when market quotations are “readily available” for purposes of the 1940 Act and the threshold for determining whether a portfolio must fair value a security. In connection with Rule 2a-5, the SEC also adopted related recordkeeping requirements and is rescinding previously issued guidance, including with respect to the role of a board in determining fair value and the accounting and auditing of portfolio investments. The Portfolios will be required to comply with the rules by September 8, 2022. Management is currently assessing the potential impact of the new rules on the Portfolios’ financial statements.
