Dear Fellow Shareholders,

 

We are pleased to present the annual report dated March 31, 2024, for the Plumb Funds.

 

The Plumb Equity Fund (investor class) recorded a twelve-month return of 43.94%, comparing favorably to its blended benchmark return 28.04%. For the year, the Fund benefitted from the 225% advance in NVDIA and the 138% increase in ELF Beauty as well as the dynamic performance of other growth stock holdings.

 

The Plumb Balanced Fund (investor class) improved 29.11% for the fiscal year ending March 31, 2024, compared to its blended benchmark of 18.14%. The Fund also benefitted from its holdings in those two stocks.

 

The Balanced Fund invested in fixed income instruments of a number of financial institutions that recovered significantly from distressed pricing a year ago. This recovery offset the pricing pressure normally associated with these type of securities during a rising rate environment and allowed our fixed income to complement the stellar return of our equity investments.

 

According to the rating service Morningstar that is widely used by financial advisors in our industry, the Balanced Fund finished in the top three percentile out of 730 other balanced mutual funds for the trailing twelve months, thirty percentile out of 646 for 5-Year and seven percentile out of 484 for 10-Year as of March 31, 2024. As of March 31, 2014 the Plumb Balanced Fund has finished in the top quartile six of the last ten years.

 

The Balanced Fund owns fixed-to-float bonds that kept its effective duration under one year. This was beneficial during the period of rising interest rates and now we are getting closer to the fixed rate coupon being replaced as the bonds will be called or begin floating at attractive spreads over their benchmarks. Historically we have seen the euphoria of peaking rates, like last October, followed with a decline and then a bounce back as reality sets in. We believe we are approaching a bounce back in rates that will allow us to extend our duration modestly with rates approaching or exceeding 6% for medium-term bonds.

 

Our stock exposure continues to highlight those companies that have disruptive growth models like NVIDIA and the GLP drug companies (Eli Lilly and Novo-Nordisk). We eliminated holdings in Discover, Mitek and

Mobileye and re-purchased Corpay (the old Fleetcor) as we continue to look for companies equipped to navigate a challenging economic environment.

 

While this tumultuous political election year unfolds, we will continue to focus on companies that are qualitatively riding secular macroeconomic tailwinds coupled with quantitatively free cash flow and earnings growth well above their peers. Essentially, our goal is to balance a top-down approach with fundamental quantitative discipline.

Read it carefully before investing.

 

Past performance does not guarantee future results. Performance data quoted represents past performance and does not guarantee future results.

Opinions expressed are those of the author as of March 31, 2023, and are subject to change, are not intended to be a forecast of future events, a guarantee of future results, nor investment advice.

 

Fund holdings are subject to change at any time and should not be considered a recommendation to buy or sell any security.

Mutual fund investing involves risk. Principal loss is possible.

 

The fund may invest in small and mid-sized companies which involve additional risks such as limited liquidity and greater volatility. The funds invest in foreign securities which involve greater volatility and political, and economic and currency risks and differences in accounting methods. Because the funds may invest in ETF’s they are subject to additional risks that do not apply to conventional mutual funds, including the risks that the market price of an ETF’s shares may trade at a discount to its net asset value (“NAV”), an active secondary trading market may not develop or be maintained, or trading may be halted by the exchange in which they trade, which may impact a fund’s ability to sell its shares. The fund may also use options and future contracts, which have the risks of unlimited losses of the underlying holdings due to unanticipated market movements and failure to correctly predict the direction of security prices, interest rates and currency exchange rates. The

investment in these options is not suitable for all investors. The Plumb Balanced Fund will invest in debt securities, which typically decrease in value when interest rates rise. This risk is usually greater for longer term debt securities.

 

Diversification does not assure a profit nor protect against loss in a declining market.

 

Dividends are not guaranteed and may fluctuate.

 

Morningstar classifies funds into categories based on similar investment objective and strategy. Morningstar percentile rankings are based on a fund’s total return compared to its Morningstar Category of exchange-traded and open-end mutual funds. The highest percentile rank is 1 and the lowest percentile rank is 100.

Expense Example
March 31, 2024 (Unaudited)

 

As a shareholder of the Plumb Funds (the “Funds”), you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including sales charges (loads) on purchase payments and redemption fees (for Class A Shares); and (2) ongoing costs, including investment advisory fees; distribution (12b-1) fees; and other fund expenses. This example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in 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 at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period (October 1, 2023 – March 31, 2024).

 

Actual Expenses

 

The first line of the table on the following page provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. However, the table does not include shareholder-specific fees such as the $15.00 fee charged for wire redemptions. The table also does not include portfolio trading commissions and related trading costs. You may use the information in this line, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the first line under the heading entitled “Expenses Paid During the Period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.

 

Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes

 

The second line of the table on the following page provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Fund’s actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Fund’s actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balanced or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Funds and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds.

 

Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transactional costs, such as sales charges (loads), redemption fees, or exchange fees, which Therefore, the second line of the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transactional costs were included, your costs would have been higher.

1.    ORGANIZATION

 

Wisconsin Capital Funds, Inc. (the “Company”), also referred to as the “Plumb Funds”, is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the “1940 Act”) as an open-end, diversified management investment company. The Company was organized as a Maryland corporation on April 3, 2007. The Company is authorized to issue up to 2 billion shares, which are units of beneficial interest with a $0.001 par value. The Company currently offers shares of two series, each with its own investment strategy and risk/reward profile: the Plumb Balanced Fund and the Plumb Equity Fund (individually a “Fund”, collectively the “Funds”). Each Fund offers three share classes: the Investor Shares (Inception date of May 24, 2007), the Institutional Shares (Inception date of August 3, 2020), and the Class A Shares (Inception date of February 8, 2021). Each share class represents an interest in the same assets of the Fund, has the same rights and is identical in all material respects except that (i) Class A Shares have a maximum front end sales load of 5.75% and maximum deferred sales charge of 1.00%; (ii) Investor Shares and Class A Shares have a 12b-1 fee of up to 0.25%; and (iii) certain other class specific expenses will be borne solely by the class to which such expenses are attributable.

 

The investment objective of the Plumb Balanced Fund is high total return through capital appreciation while attempting to preserve principal, with current income as a secondary objective. The investment objective of the Plumb Equity Fund is long-term capital appreciation. Wisconsin Capital Management, LLC (the “Advisor”) serves as the Funds’ investment advisor. As of December 31, 2014, the Advisor is owned by TGP, Inc. The Advisor is controlled by Thomas G. Plumb indirectly through TGP, Inc. Certain directors or officers of the Funds are also officers of the Advisor.

 

2.    SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICES

 

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

 

Security Valuation:

 

The Funds have adopted authoritative fair valuation accounting standards which establish an authoritative definition of fair value and set out a hierarchy for measuring fair value. These standards require additional disclosures about the various inputs and valuation techniques used to develop the measurements

 

42

 

 

Plumb Funds

 

Notes to Financial Statements
March 31, 2024 (Continued)

 

of fair value and a discussion in changes in valuation techniques and related inputs during the year. These inputs are summarized in the three broad levels listed below.

 

 

Level 1 -

quoted prices in active markets for identical securities

 

 

Level 2 -

other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.)

 

 

Level 3 -

significant unobservable inputs (including the Funds’ own assumptions in determining far value of investments)

 

Equity securities, including domestic common stocks and foreign issued common stocks, are valued at the last sale price reported by the exchange on which the securities are primarily traded on the day of valuation. Nasdaq-listed securities are valued at their Nasdaq Official Closing Price. Equity securities not traded on a listed exchange or not traded using Nasdaq are valued as of the last sale price at the close of the U.S. market. If there are no sales on a given day for securities traded on an exchange, the latest bid quotation will be used. These securities will generally be classified as Level 1 securities.

 

Investments in mutual funds, including money market funds, are generally priced at the ending net asset value (NAV) provided by the service agent of the Funds and will be classified as Level 1 securities.

 

Debt securities such as corporate bonds and preferred securities are valued using a market approach based on information supplied by independent pricing services. The market inputs used by the independent pricing service include benchmark yields, reported trades, broker/dealer quotes, issuer spreads, two sided markets, benchmark securities, bids, offers, and reference data including market research publications. Debt securities with remaining maturities of 60 days or less may be valued on an amortized cost basis, which involves valuing an instrument at its cost and thereafter assuming a constant amortization to maturity of any discount or premium, regardless of the impact of fluctuating rates on the fair value of the instrument. To the extent the inputs are observable and timely, these debt securities will generally be classified as Level 2 securities.

 

Any securities or other assets for which market quotations are not readily available are valued at fair value as determined in good faith by the Advisor pursuant to procedures established under the general supervision and responsibility of the Funds’ Board of Directors and will be classified as Level 3 securities.

 

The inputs or methodology used for valuing securities may not be an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities. The inputs used to measure fair value may fall into different levels of the fair value hierarchy. In

 

43

 

 

Plumb Funds

 

Notes to Financial Statements
March 31, 2024 (Continued)

 

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, as of March 31, 2024, to value the Funds’ investments carried at fair value:

For detailed industry descriptions, refer to the Schedule of Investments.

Use of Estimates:

 

The presentation of the financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of increases and decreases in net assets from operations during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

 

Allocation of Income and Expenses:

 

Net investment income, other than class specific expenses, and realized and unrealized gains and losses are allocated daily to each class of shares based upon the relative NAV of outstanding shares of each class of shares at the beginning of the day (after adjusting for the current capital shares activity of the respective class). Generally, expenses directly attributable to a Fund are charged to the

 

44

 

 

Plumb Funds

 

Notes to Financial Statements
March 31, 2024 (Continued)

 

Fund, while expenses attributable to more than one series of the Company are allocated among the respective series based on relative net assets or another appropriate basis.

 

Federal Income Taxes:

 

The Funds intend to meet the requirements of the Internal Revenue Code (the “Code”) applicable to regulated investment companies and to distribute substantially all net investment taxable income and net capital gains to shareholders in a manner which results in no tax cost to the Funds. Therefore, no federal income or excise tax provision is recorded.

 

As of and during the year ended March 31, 2024, the Funds did not have a liability for any unrecognized tax benefits. The Funds recognize interest and penalties, if any, related to unrecognized tax benefits as income tax expense in the Statements of Operations. During the year ended March 31, 2024, the Funds did not incur any interest or penalties.

 

Distributions to Shareholders:

 

Dividends from net investment income are declared and paid at least annually. Distributions of net realized capital gains, if any, will be declared and paid at least annually. Distributions to shareholders are recorded on the ex-dividend date.

 

The Funds may periodically make reclassifications among certain of its capital accounts as a result of the recognition and characterization of certain income and capital gain distributions determined annually in accordance with federal tax regulations which may differ from GAAP. Any such reclassifications will have no effect on net assets, results of operations or net asset values per share of the Funds.

 

Other:

 

Investment and shareholder transactions are recorded on the trade date. Gains or losses from investment transactions are determined using the specific identification method. Dividend income is recognized on the ex-dividend date and interest income is recognized on an accrual basis. Discounts and premiums on securities purchased are amortized over the expected life of the respective securities using the effective interest method. Withholding taxes on foreign dividends have been provided for in accordance with the Funds’ understanding of the applicable country’s tax rules and rates.

 

Investment securities and other assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollar amounts at the date of valuation. Purchases and sales of investment securities and income and expense items denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollar amounts on the respective dates of such transactions. The Fund does not isolate the

 

45

 

 

Plumb Funds

 

Notes to Financial Statements
March 31, 2024 (Continued)

 

portion of the results of operations from changes in foreign exchange rates on investments from the fluctuations arising from changes in market prices of securities held. Realized foreign exchange gains or losses arising from sales of portfolio securities and sales and maturities of short-term securities are reported within realized gain (loss) on investments. Net unrealized foreign exchange gains and losses arising from changes in the values of investments in securities from fluctuations in exchange rates are reported within unrealized gain (loss) on investments.

 

Under the Company’s organizational documents, the Company will indemnify its officers and directors for certain liabilities that may arise from performance of their duties to the Funds. Additionally, in the normal course of business, the Funds enter into contracts that contain a variety of representations and warranties which provide general indemnifications. The Funds’ maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown, as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Funds that have not yet occurred.

 

3.    DISTRIBUTION PLAN

 

The Company has adopted a plan pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act (the “12b-1 Plan”), on behalf of the Funds, which authorizes it to pay a distribution fee up to 0.25% of the Funds’ average daily net assets attributable to both the Investor Shares and the Class A Shares of each Fund, for services to prospective Fund shareholders and distribution of Fund shares. During the fiscal year ended March 31, 2024, the Plumb Balanced Fund Investor Shares and Class A Shares incurred expenses of $109,018 and $192, respectively, and the Plumb Equity Fund Investor Shares and Class A Shares incurred expenses of $37,242 and $139, respectively, pursuant to the 12b-1 Plan. The Institutional Shares of each Fund are not subject to any 12b-1 fees under this Plan.

 

4.    INVESTMENT ADVISOR AND OTHER AFFILIATES

 

The Funds have an Investment Advisory Agreement (the “Advisory Agreement”) with Wisconsin Capital Management, LLC. The Advisory Agreement provides for advisory fees computed daily and paid monthly at an annual rate of 0.65% of the Funds’ average daily net assets.

 

Under the terms of the Advisory Agreement, the Advisor has contractually agreed to limit the Funds’ expenses. Effective July 28, 2023, Wisconsin Capital Management, LLC, the investment advisor to the Funds (the “Advisor”), has contractually agreed to waive its advisory fee and/or reimburse expenses in order to limit the Total Annual Fund Operating Expenses of each Fund to 1.44% of the Fund’s average daily net assets for the Investor Shares and the Class A Shares, and 1.19% of the Fund’s average daily net assets for the Institutional Shares. Prior to July 28, 2023 Wisconsin Capital Management contractually agreed to waive it’s advisory fee and/or reimburse expenses in order to limit

Plumb Funds

 

Notes to Financial Statements

the Total Annual Fund Operating Expenses of each Fund to 1.19% of the Fund’s average daily net assets for the Investor Shares and the Class A shares and .99% of the of the Fund’s average daily net assets for the Institutional Shares. This contractual limitation is in effect until July 31, 2024 and may not be terminated without the approval of the Board of Directors of Wisconsin Capital Funds, Inc. Any such waiver or reimbursement is subject to later adjustment to allow the Advisor to recoup amounts waived or reimbursed to the extent actual fees and expenses for a period are less than the expense limitation caps in place at the time the waiver was made, provided, however, that the Advisor shall only be entitled to recoup such amounts for a period of three years from the date such amount was waived or reimbursed. For the fiscal year ended March 31, 2024, the Advisor waived $97,420, $44,559, and $157 of expenses in the Plumb Balanced Fund’s Investor Shares, Institutional Shares, and Class A Shares, respectively. For the fiscal year ended March 31, 2024, the Advisor waived $164,078, $80,656 and $614 of expenses in the Plumb Equity Fund’s Investor Shares, Institutional Shares, and Class A Shares, respectively.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

 

To the Shareholders and Board of Directors of Wisconsin Capital Funds, Inc.

 

Opinion on the Financial Statements

We have audited the accompanying statements of assets and liabilities, including the schedules of investments, of Plumb Balanced Fund and Plumb Equity Fund (the “Funds”), each a series of Wisconsin Capital Funds, Inc., as of March 31, 2024, the related statements of operations for the year then ended, the statements of changes in net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended, the financial highlights for each of the five years in the period then ended, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the “financial statements”). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of each of the Funds as of March 31, 2024, the results of their operations for the year then ended, the changes in net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended, and the financial highlights for each of the five years in the period then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

 

Basis for Opinion

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

 

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement whether due to error or fraud.

 

Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of March 31, 2024, by correspondence with the custodian. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

 

We have served as the Funds’ auditor since 2007.

Additional Information (Unaudited)

 

1.    LIQUIDITY RISK PROGRAM

 

The Funds have adopted a Liquidity Risk Management Program (the “Program”) under Rule 22e-4 under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “Liquidity Rule”), that seeks to assess, manage, and review each Fund’s liquidity risk. The Liquidity Rule requires in part that the Board of Directors of the Funds receive a written report on a no-less-frequently-than-annual basis that addresses the operation of the Program and assesses its adequacy and effectiveness of implementation, including the operation of any highly liquid investment minimum established for a Fund and any material changes to the Program.

 

The Board of Directors of the Funds has appointed Wisconsin Capital Management, LLC’s Compliance Committee as the program administrator for the Program (the “Program Administrator”). At its meetings on May 12, 2023, August 11, 2023, November 17, 2023, and February 9, 2024, the Board of Directors of the Funds reviewed the Program Administrator’s written reports (collectively, the “Report”) relating to the operation of the Program for the period from January 1, 2023 through December 31, 2023 (the “Program Reporting Period”). The Report addressed the operation of the Program and assessed its adequacy and effectiveness of implementation, including that each Fund continues to primarily hold assets that are highly liquid investments. There were no material changes to the Program during the Program Reporting Period and no liquidity events occurring during the Program Reporting Period that affected the Funds or their ability to meet redemptions.

 

Based on this review, the Report concluded that the Program continues to be reasonably designed to effectively assess and manage each Fund’s liquidity risk and the Program has been adequately and effectively implemented with respect to each Fund during the Program Reporting Period.

The following table details the aggregate fees billed or expected to be billed for each of the last two fiscal years for audit fees, audit-related fees, tax fees and other fees by the principal accountant.
