Dear Investor:

Thank you for your continued affiliation with The Penn Mutual Life Insurance Company. The confidence and trust you place in us reaffirms our commitment to helping policyholders take advantage of all life’s possibilities. We also take pride in being a financially strong mutual insurance company that delivers on our promises, and I’m very pleased to bring you the following capital markets summary. Please remember that regardless of what the markets may bring, short-term performance changes should not distract you from your long-term financial plan, and it’s a good idea to meet with your investment professional regularly to make sure that your asset allocation remains on target.

Stocks recorded stellar gains in the fourth quarter, bringing most major indexes to record highs. Signs that the U.S. economy had regained some traction following its slowdown in late 2012 and early 2013 were key in driving the market’s strong performance. From a sector perspective, defensive sectors such as Utilities, Telecommunications and Consumer Staples experienced relatively weaker returns in the final quarter and for the full year in comparison to the Consumer Discretionary, Health Care, and Industrials sectors which all experienced significant gains (+40 percent) over the 12-month period ending December 31, 2013. The U.S. stock market, as measured by the Wilshire 5000 Equity Index, returned 10.11 percent in the fourth quarter and 33.06 percent for the full 12-month period.

On a relative basis, small capitalization stocks provided higher returns than did mid and large capitalization stocks for the year. Small capitalization stocks, as measured by the Russell 2000 Index, returned an impressive 38.82 percent, while mid capitalization stocks, as measured by the Russell Midcap Index, returned 34.76 percent and large capitalization stocks, as measured by the Russell 1000 Index, returned 33.11 percent for the full year. From a style perspective, growth stocks outperformed value stocks across all market capitalizations with the largest disparity being in small capitalization stocks. For instance, the Russell 2000 Growth Index returned 43.30 percent for the year versus the Russell 2000 Value Index which produced a 34.52 percent return. Some of the relative outperformance within growth stocks can be attributed to the relatively strong performance within the Technology sector.

International markets, both developed and emerging, ended 2013 behind U.S. equities. Developed international stocks, as measured by the MSCI EAFE Index, returned 23.29 percent while emerging market stocks, as measured by the MSCI Emerging Markets Index, returned a negative 2.27 percent. While the European economy is still struggling, the region is showing signs of improvement. Benefiting from reduced emphasis on austerity measures and signs that the region’s recession had ended, European stocks generated particularly strong gains in the fourth quarter. While most of Asia’s developed markets produced lackluster returns for the year, Japan was the exception with an annual return slightly in excess of 27 percent. Disappointing economic data as well as various political crises dampened emerging markets’ appeal in 2013.

Investment-grade fixed-income securities turned in their first negative calendar year return since 1999, underperforming high yield bonds by a sizeable margin. Investment-grade bonds, as measured by the Barclays Capital U.S. Aggregate Index, returned a negative 2.02 percent for the full year. The Credit Suisse First Boston High Yield Bond Index, which finished the year on a strong note, returned 7.53 percent in 2013 – about half of what it returned in 2012. With most low-risk assets offering negligible current income, investors continued to seek higher-risk, higher-yielding issues in 2013. In addition to the strong investor demand, high yield bonds were boosted by the general good financial health of many U.S. corporations. While the U.S. Federal Reserve remains committed to an accommodative policy by keeping its key interest rate low, they did signal late in the year the commencement of their long-awaited “taper” by announcing plans to modestly trim their monthly bond-buying program. Whereas the 10-year Treasury note started the year with a yield of just 1.76 percent, it ended 2013 with a yield of 3.03%

Once again, we thank you for the privilege of serving your financial needs. We hope you’ll work closely with your financial professional to continue to explore your options throughout all life’s stages.

Sincerely,

Management’s Discussion of Fund Performance

 

Limited Maturity Bond Fund

The Penn Series Limited Maturity Bond Fund returned –0.09% for the twelve-month period ending December 31, 2013, compared to the 0.64% return for its benchmark, the Barclays Capital U.S. Government/Credit 1-3 Year Bond Index, for the same time period.

The U.S. economy entered 2013 still wrapped in a cloud of uncertainty and with little momentum after a weak fourth quarter 2012 Gross Domestic Product (GDP) growth rate of 0.4%. We had just gone through the Fiscal Cliff debacle, the much-hyped and dreaded fiscal reductions known as the “sequester” were looming, and the outlook for U.S. and global economic growth looked uncertain. During the second half of the year, we witnessed more uncertainty as U.S. lawmakers could not reach agreement on a bill to keep the government funded beyond September 30, which in turn led to the first partial shutdown in 17 years. In mid December, some of the uncertainty that clouded the start of the fourth quarter was resolved when Congress passed a two-year budget agreement which moderately increases government spending, eases automatic spending cuts and reduces the risk of future government shutdowns. While considered a positive overall, the agreement did fail to address several key issues such as the debt ceiling, tax reform, and long-term entitlement reform. However, the debt ceiling issue will return in late February, when the U.S. approaches the expiration of its borrowing authority.

Mid December also brought some clarity to the Federal Reserve’s decision to begin making measured changes to its stimulus program. On December 18, the Fed signaled the commencement of its long-awaited “taper” by announcing plans to trim its bond-buying program starting in January 2014. The central bank sought to temper the move by suggesting its key interest rate would stay lower for longer than previously forecast. Immediate reaction to the news from financial markets was favorable and far different from the upset caused when the Federal Reserve first made mention of the possibility in May. The Fed had been waiting for clear signs of improvement in U.S. economic strength before beginning its monthly reductions, signs that were still lacking when the bank decided to delay acting back in September. It is important to note that “tapering” does not mean an end to the Fed’s accommodative policies any time soon; rather, it means continuing the asset purchase program, but at a lower monthly rate.

As anticipated, in the current environment, the traditionally more conservative nature of the management of the Fund has proved to be a headwind to relative performance. Over

the longer-term, the Fund continues to perform on par with its Index. During the second half of the year, we saw spreads in structured products tighten in a bit from the widening they experienced late in the second quarter, and then drift slightly wider. After a quiet beginning, the latter half of the third quarter saw issuance by some infrequent asset-backed securities (ABS) that we believe offered relatively good value. The Fund also participated in some other deals that we thought provided excellent collateral, stable structures and attractive yields. The structured market purchases during the fourth quarter included consumer ABS, agency and non-agency commercial mortgage-backed securities, and agency risk-transfer residential mortgage-backed securities. Over 75% of the structured purchases were in consumer ABS and included sectors such as Auto, Equipment, Rate-Reduction, Railcar, and Credit Cards. These purchases were driven by the three investment goals of staying low in duration, picking up yield, and ensuring high-quality collateral. In addition, we have been opportunistically adding to slightly lower credit quality corporate bonds in lower beta sectors that offer attractive carry. The portfolio continued to add 2-3 year investment grade corporate bonds as rates have been at more compelling levels. We were finding attractive opportunities in the Food & Beverage, Healthcare, and high quality Retail sectors, among others. We also invested in the tier 2 and 3 commercial paper market with 1-2 month commercial paper yielding as much as 3-year Treasuries in some cases. Throughout the year, we bought approximately $142 million resulting in a 1.17% yield to the Fund and sold approximately $61 million with 0.16% yield. The relative yield of the Limited Maturity Bond Fund compared to its Index increased 0.23% over 2013.

Quality Bond Fund

The Penn Series Quality Bond Fund returned –2.97% for the twelve-month period ending December 31, 2013, compared to the –2.02% return for its benchmark, the Barclays Capital U.S. Aggregate Bond Index, for the same time period.

The U.S. economy entered 2013 still wrapped in a cloud of uncertainty and with little momentum after a weak fourth quarter 2012 Gross Domestic Product (GDP) growth rate of 0.4%. We had just gone through the Fiscal Cliff debacle, the much-hyped and dreaded fiscal reductions known as the “sequester” were looming, and the outlook for U.S. and global economic growth looked uncertain. During the second half of the year, we witnessed more uncertainty as U.S. lawmakers could not reach agreement on a bill to keep the government funded beyond September 30, which in turn led to the first partial shutdown in 17 years. In mid December, some of the uncertainty that clouded the start of the fourth quarter was resolved when Congress passed a two-year budget agreement which moderately increases government spending, eases automatic spending cuts and reduces the risk of future government shutdowns. While considered a positive overall, the agreement did fail to address several key issues such as the debt ceiling, tax reform, and long-term entitlement reform. However, the debt ceiling issue will return in late February, when the U.S. approaches the expiration of its borrowing authority.

Mid December also brought some clarity to the Federal Reserve’s decision to begin making measured changes to its stimulus program. On December 18, the Fed signaled the commencement of its long-awaited “taper” by announcing plans to trim its bond-buying program starting in January 2014. The central bank sought to temper the move by suggesting its key interest rate would stay lower for longer than previously forecast. Immediate reaction to the news from financial markets was favorable and far different from the upset caused when the Federal Reserve first made mention of the possibility in May. The Fed had been waiting for clear signs of improvement in U.S. economic strength before beginning its monthly reductions, signs that were still lacking when the bank decided to delay acting back in September. It is important to note that “tapering” does not mean an end to the Fed’s accommodative policies any time soon; rather, it means continuing the asset purchase program, but at a lower monthly rate.

As anticipated, in the current environment, the traditionally more conservative nature of the management of the Fund

has proved to be a headwind to relative performance. Over the longer-term, the Fund continues to outperform both its Index and peers on a relative basis. During the second half of the year, we added subordinate and senior multi-family housing paper issued by Freddie Mac, which has an implicit U.S. government guaranty. We also purchased commercial mortgage-backed securities (CMBS), split evenly between agency and non-agency. The agency CMBS purchases have continued to provide attractive returns at low risk levels. The non-agency CMBS purchases included a short floater and a high-quality, moderate-duration fixed bond. All sales during the final quarter of the year in the structured products were of lower-coupon agency pass-through securities and were made to adjust our duration bets in the portfolio. We also saw risk premiums in investment grade move lower for the most part during the third quarter, though the lows were witnessed in August. We rotated into the Telecommunications and Pipeline sectors as we saw good relative value. The $40 billion Verizon new issue placed a significant amount of pressure on risk premiums in the telecommunications and media space, so in addition to participating in the Verizon deal, we also opportunistically bought other issuers in these sectors. Telecommunications had been the second largest underweight risk sector in terms of beta duration. We closed the gap that we had held due to the poor relative value after adding about 5% of the corporate portfolio in this sector with slightly lower quality. Risk premiums in this industry now better reflect the risk of leveraging activity. Pipelines are one of our favored long-term focuses based on fundamentals. Lastly, we started to trim exposure to emerging market credits that we had added in June to realize a decrease in risk premiums. At this point, we have sold the same amount of emerging markets exposure in the Fund as we purchased on the sell-off back in June and July. We also de-risked the corporate portfolio within the Fund a bit in October by selling some of the Fund’s outperformers in higher beta sectors such as Telecommunications and Energy.

Duration has been kept to a neutral basis relative to the benchmark and the credit quality of the portfolio remains relatively high to both the benchmark and our peers.

High Yield Bond Fund

The Penn Series High Yield Bond Fund returned 7.91% for the twelve-month period ending December 31, 2013, compared to the 7.53% return for its benchmark, the CSFB High Yield Bond Index, for the same time period.

High yield bonds produced strong returns in 2013 and outperformed most other fixed income assets. There were several external macro developments that weighed on high yield bond performance in 2013, such as U.S. political wrangling and looming changes in Fed policy, but each period of elevated volatility was short lived. Recognizing the health of below investment-grade companies, dedicated high yield investors quickly stepped in to buy during times of weakness.

High yield bonds and leveraged loans both set new annual records for primary market activity. According to J.P. Morgan, $398.5 billion of new high yield bonds came to the market in 2013, surpassing the previous record of $368 billion that was set in 2012.

Valuations were somewhat stretched at times this year, particularly for higher-rated bonds, leading us to focus some of our efforts on special situations. Many of our investments outside of traditional high yield bonds boosted relative returns in 2013. Our modest equity-related positions in the airlines sector were especially rewarding.

We benefited from a number of balance sheet repair stories, such as First Data, Rite Aid, and MEMC Electronic Materials. Each of these companies took advantage of favorable capital market conditions to refinance or extend debt maturities, significantly reducing near-term default risk.

Our small cash reserve position weighed on relative results during the year as the broad market rallied. An overweight allocation media/telecom also hurt as this sector lagged for the period, but this was more than offset by positive credit selection in this space.

While we are encouraged that high yield was one of the few fixed income markets to generate positive results in 2013, capital appreciation potential is limited for the coming year, with most bonds at a premium to par value. In our view, the most promising total return opportunities are outside the traditional U.S. BB rated bond space, but we maintain a positive outlook on the overall asset class. We believe high yield is still one of the best places to invest within the fixed income universe as demand for yield shows no sign of abating. Many of the setbacks that high

yield bonds faced over the last few years were related to challenges outside of the asset class that have since diminished.

Following a surge in refinancing activity over the past several years, many companies have pushed out near-term maturities and locked in low debt costs for an extended period. The limited amount of high yield bonds that are set to mature over the next two years is highly supportive of the low default environment.

Flexibly Managed Fund

The Penn Series Flexibly Managed Fund returned 22.25% for the twelve-month period ending December 31, 2013, compared to the 32.39% return for its benchmark, the S&P 500 Index, for the same time period.

The U.S. equity market continued this year’s impressive rally into the fourth quarter, with economically sensitive sectors outpacing more traditionally defensive ones. Economic data continued to strengthen, and unemployment fell to its lowest level since 2008 as the year came to an end. Corporate fundamentals moderated from a strong level, but investors remained optimistic about the economy despite uncertainty about fiscal and monetary policies. Markets took the federal government shutdown and debt ceiling brinkmanship of October in stride, and they reacted positively to the Federal Reserve’s announcement that it would begin to curtail its monetary stimulus in January. U.S. bond returns were mixed as longer-term interest rates increased, with long-term Treasury yields rising above 3%, their highest level in more than two years.

Our equity weight increased over the course of the year. We found attractive opportunities in the higher-yielding utilities, health care, and telecommunication services sectors, which were generally left behind in this year’s equity rally. Meanwhile, we trimmed selected holdings in the cyclical information technology and consumer discretionary sectors. We continued to maintain significant exposure to covered calls, which give us the benefits of owning a stock while providing downside protection.

Our fixed income allocation also grew, as we purchased U.S. Treasuries and high yield bonds and decreased our corporate bond weight. We believe that the high yield market offers relatively attractive valuations compared to other fixed income assets, along with solid underlying corporate fundamentals. Our weight in bank loans held steady as we favor their priority in a company’s capital structure; their yields, which are comparable to high yield funds; and their floating rate coupons. We reduced our exposure to mortgage-backed securities, which we were using as a proxy for cash, and deployed the proceeds into U.S. Treasuries.

The financials sector helped absolute returns, particularly our holdings in TD Ameritrade Holding, State Street, and Marsh & McLennan. Health care also boosted results, with Thermo Fisher Scientific and UnitedHealth Group among the leading performers.

After a year of nearly uninterrupted strength in the U.S. equity market, we are tempering our expectations for continued gains. The U.S. economy continued its pace of moderate growth over the past few years, but returns appear to have outpaced corporate fundamentals. We would therefore not be surprised to encounter a cyclical pullback in the near term.

Across asset classes, we are finding less compelling value in equities than we did a year ago. We continue to look for opportunities to add to equity positions on market pullbacks, and we are currently finding attractive options in defensive sectors that were left behind in the current rally. Within fixed income, we took the opportunity to add to U.S. Treasuries along with higher-yielding securities as interest rates rose. With the considerable market advance, we positioned the portfolio defensively as a reflection of our commitment to capital preservation.

Management’s Discussion of Fund Performance

 

Balanced Fund

The Penn Series Balanced Fund returned 16.75% for the twelve-month period ending December 31, 2013, compared to its benchmarks, the S&P 500 Index’s return of 32.39% and the Barclays Capital U.S. Aggregate Bond Index’s return of –2.02%, for the same time period.

The Balanced Fund is comprised of a target allocation of 60% to an equity fund and 40% to a fixed income fund. The equity allocation of the Fund is comprised of the Penn Series Index 500 Fund which seeks a total return that corresponds to that of the S&P 500 Index. The fixed income allocation of the Fund consists of an allocation to the Penn Series Quality Bond Fund.

At the broad asset class level, the Balanced Fund’s equity allocation performed in line with its broad equity benchmark the S&P 500 Index for the one-year period. The Fund’s fixed income allocation underperformed the Barclays Capital U.S. Aggregate Bond Index for the one-year time period. Weighing on the fixed income allocation of the Fund was the more conservative composition of the underlying individual fixed income fund versus the broad market Index.

Large Growth Stock Fund

The Penn Series Large Growth Stock Fund returned 39.11% for the twelve-month period ending December 31, 2013, compared to the 33.48% return for its benchmark, the Russell 1000 Growth Index, for the same time period.

Major U.S. stock markets generated excellent returns in 2013, as investors remained optimistic about the economy despite moderating corporate fundamentals and uncertainty about fiscal and monetary policies. Investors welcomed the Federal Reserve Bank’s December announcement that it would reduce its asset purchases by $10 billion in January and would keep short-term interest rates low if unemployment fell below 6.5%, provided inflation remained contained.

Consumer discretionary was the leading relative outperformer, primarily due to stock selection, but significant overweighting also helped results. Shares of online travel company priceline.com benefited from increased travel-related spending, particularly on rental cars through its subsidiary, rentalcars.com. The company continues to gain market share, aided by its Smartphone apps that provide useful information for frequent travelers. Shares of Amazon.com moved higher during the second half of the year, led by investor optimism for a strong holiday shopping season, particularly in online retail sales that continue to gain market share from in-store shopping. The company is also experiencing growth in the cloud-computing and storage market through its Amazon Web Services division.

Information technology was a robust outperformer, driven by stock selection. Internet giant Google contributed strongly, benefiting from the popularity of smart phones running on its Android operating system and a higher sales volume of advertising in both the traditional and mobile marketplace. Global payment networks MasterCard and Visa both saw gains from better cost controls and from an increase in consumer credit card use outside the United States, particularly in Europe, Asia, and Latin America.

Health care, the best-performing sector in the Index, contributed positively due to stock selection. The biotechnology industry holdings notably outperformed. Gilead Sciences benefited from broader approval of its HIV treatment, Stribild, notably in Europe.

Telecommunication services was the leading relative detractor, due to combined stock selection and detrimental overweighting against the index. A rise in interest rates over the year negatively affected

communication tower companies, including Crown Castle International, as investors turned to securities with a lower risk profile that offered comparable yields.

Stock selection was the primary cause of relative underperformance by the industrials and business services sector. Fastenal, an industrial supply company, faltered as construction and mining industries, which make up a large portion of its customers, struggled amid a slow construction recovery and a decline in mining activity due to weak commodity prices.

Equities were driven higher in 2013 as investors moved out of safer assets and into riskier areas of the market. We see a continuation of this trend in 2014, although on a more moderate scale. We are generally optimistic about the environment for equities. Improving global economic growth, attractive stock valuations despite 2013’s notable performance, and restrained inflation should permit large-cap growth stocks to perform strongly. While a moderate market correction is always a possibility, we do not anticipate a significant sell-off.

Large Cap Growth Fund

The Penn Series Large Cap Growth Fund returned 23.09% for the twelve-month period ending December 31, 2013, compared to the 33.48% return for its benchmark, the Russell 1000 Growth Index, for the same time period.

From the start of the year through to the end of April, underperformance versus the benchmark was rooted in relative weakness in the technology and consumer discretionary sectors. On the other hand, the health care and financial services sectors added the most value versus the benchmark on a relative basis for the period.

In the technology sector, our holdings in Apple and Juniper Networks were among the largest detractors to performance. Underperformance in the consumer-discretionary sector was due largely to the poor results posted by both Facebook and lululemon athletica.

On the positive side of things, in the health care sector outperformance versus the benchmark was largely due to the strong results provided by Biogen Idec and GNC Holdings. Excess return in the financial services sector was largely driven by the strong results in shares of CBRE Group, a global provider of commercial real estate services to the office, retail, industrial, and multi-family industries.

The commentary provided above was from the former sub-adviser of the Fund, Turner Investments who was the manager of the Fund until May 1, 2013.

During the period of May to the end of the year, stock selection in the consumer discretionary sector was a primary detractor from performance relative to the Index. The Fund’s underweight position in strong-performing internet retailer Amazon.com held back relative results.

In the health care sector, weak stock selection hampered relative performance. The Fund’s underweight position in biotech firm Gilead Sciences weighed on relative results as the stock outpaced the benchmark during the reporting period.

Stock selection in the informational technology sector also dampened relative returns. Within this sector, an underweight position in online social networking provider Facebook hurt relative results. An overweight position in management consulting firm Accenture (Ireland) and holdings of Taiwan Semiconductor (Taiwan) were also among the Fund’s top relative detractors.

Elsewhere, holdings of international food producer Danone (France) and wine and alcoholic beverage producer Pernod Ricard (France), an overweight position in household products maker Procter & Gamble held back relative

returns. Not owning shares of strong-performing aerospace company Boeing was another top relative detractor within this sector.

The Fund’s cash and/or cash equivalent position during the period also weakened relative performance. Under normal market conditions, the Fund strives to be fully invested and generally holds cash to buy new holdings and provide liquidity. In a period when equity markets rose, as measured by the Fund’s benchmark, holding cash hurt performance versus the benchmark, which has no cash position.

Stock selection and, to a lesser extent, an underweight position in the financials sector was a positive factor for relative performance. There were no individual securities within this sector that were among the portfolio’s top relative contributors for the period.

The Fund’s avoidance of the telecommunications services sector also aided relative results. Here, not owing shares of telecommunications services provider Verizon Communications supported relative performance as the stock posted weak results over the reporting period.

Elsewhere, holdings of life sciences supply company Thermo Fisher Scientific and automotive components supplier Johnson Controls, and the Fund’s avoidance of weak-performing tobacco company Phillip Morris International and beverage manufacturer The Coca-Cola Company, supported relative returns. An underweight position in shares of computer products and services provider International Business Machines (IBM), and overweight positions in global payments technology company VISA, industrial and consumer products manufacturer Danaher, industrial goods and metal fabrication company Precision Castparts and internet search giant Google, were also among the portfolio’s top relative contributors.

During the reporting period, the Fund’s relative currency exposure, resulting primarily from differences between the Fund’s and the benchmark’s exposures to holdings of securities denominated in foreign currencies, was another contributor to relative performance.

The commentary provided above was from the current sub-adviser of the Fund, MFS Investments, who became the manager of the Fund on May 1, 2013.

Large Core Growth Fund

The Penn Series Large Core Growth Fund returned 37.91% for the twelve-month period ending December 31, 2013, compared to the 33.48% return for its benchmark, the Russell 1000 Growth Index, for the same time period.

In technology, the online professional networking company Linkedin Corporation reported strong revenue and earnings growth, above even the most aggressive estimates. The company also saw a re-acceleration of growth in member and usage data. With over 200 million members, the company has quickly become the largest, most effective offering of its kind and yet has only enlisted about 30% of the total professional workforce. Specific strength was also visible among credit card related IT services firms. Alliance Data Systems gained as the company’s Canadian loyalty business enjoyed improved business trends. The issuer of private label credit cards is less sensitive to overall consumer sentiment given the higher credit scores of its cardholders.

In the financials sector, Intercontinental Exchange completed the acquisition of NYSE/Euronext during the year. We purchased the stock in late 2012 soon after the merger was announced. Despite the recent surge, we continue to feel that valuation is reasonable given the firm’s significant growth potential and high quality management team. Additionally within the sector, capital markets exposed firms garnered investor attention in light of the aforementioned strong equity market performance. Affiliated Managers Group, a leading asset manager with a collection of boutique offerings and Ameriprise Financial, were both strong contributors during the year.

Opportunities in the consumer staples sector have historically been limited as many of these firms do not possess the organic growth profile that is a prerequisite for portfolio inclusion. We have identified select companies that have a strong growth profile and the ability to improve margins and gain market share. Constellation Brands is just such a holding and proved to be the largest contributor to quarterly returns. We purchased the stock with the thesis that Constellation’s acquisition of the U.S. distribution rights and production facilities of certain beer brands owned by Groupo Modelo, (including Corona) materially improved the growth profile of the company.

The main detractor from Fund performance was from stock specific issues in the materials space. W.R. Grace & Co. shares declined during the third quarter after the company announced lower than expected sales and

earnings. The decline was partly due to pricing and competitive issues in their value-added products in the refinery market. As a result, the company reduced future guidance and we eliminated the position for better opportunities.

Many investors are questioning the durability of the rally in U.S. equities. We acknowledge that several constructive developments — the resurgence of U.S. manufacturing, strength in durable goods, and a stronger housing market — are currently “in” equity valuations. Indeed, based on historical valuations, U.S. stocks still look very reasonably priced. In addition, we believe there are several potentially positive factors that are “not in” current equity valuations. The U.S. economy is gaining strength just at the time where many global economies are facing stiff challenges.

Large Cap Value Fund

The Penn Series Large Cap Value Fund returned 33.21% for the twelve-month period ending December 31, 2013, compared to the 32.53% return for its benchmark, the Russell 1000 Value Index, for the same time period.

During the first quarter, among the top contributors to Fund performance were Walgreen, Honeywell International, and Verizon Communications. During the month of April, the top contributors were managed health care company Humana, Citigroup, American International Group, Verizon Communications and The Walt Disney Co.

The most significant detractors from performance in the first quarter was Apple. Having realized strong investment returns earlier in 2012, Apple gave back some of its relative outperformance during the period as investors sought to lock in gains. The most significant detractors from Fund performance from the start of the year through to the end of April included industrials stocks General Electric, Honeywell International, Quanta Services and Navistar International. Outside of Industrials, MGM Resorts International detracted from performance.

The commentary provided above was from the former sub-adviser of the Fund, OppenheimerFunds who was the manager of the Fund until May 1, 2013.

The Fund had a very good year, not only in absolute performance, but also relative to the Benchmark and other large cap value managers. Strong stock selection in the health care and financials sectors were the main contributors to outperformance. A position in Forest Laboratories, which develops, manufactures and sells branded forms of ethical drugs, or those requiring a doctor’s prescription, contributed to performance. After a review of business operations in December, the CEO announced a new strategy, which includes a $500 million cost savings program, the acquisition of Saphris, a schizophrenia/bipolar disorder drug from Merck, an accelerated share repurchase program and the addition of a $1.2 billion debt offering.

Ameriprise Financial, a financial planning and services firm, performed well in the fourth quarter due to solid market growth and lower outflows from Columbia Management, an asset management firm acquired by Ameriprise Financial in 2010. In addition, outperformer Northrop Grumman, a global security company, reported strong earnings and plans to redistribute cash to shareholders.

Individual detractors from performance included FirstEnergy Corp, Transocean, and Philip Morris International. First Energy, a public utility holding company, announced at a November conference an acceleration of spending in their regulated transmission operations to be funded through an equity raise. This increase in spending sparked fears of a near term dividend cut in order to reduce future equity issuance, which pressured the stock lower. Transocean, an offshore drilling contractor, underperformed due to concerns regarding the deepwater rig cycle in the midst of burgeoning U.S. onshore production. We sold Transocean for Valero, which we believe has better risk-reward. The turnaround at Philip Morris, which produces, sells, distributes, and markets a wide range of branded cigarettes and tobacco products, is taking longer to materialize. We are concerned that some of the country-specific challenges will continue into 2014. Near-term results have been challenged by unemployment and tax policies globally. However, we feel the company is well positioned longer term with 73% and 71% of sales and operating income, respectively, coming from developing markets.

As we enter 2014, the values are not as wide spread as they were a few years ago, but there are still values to be found. We do not believe the market is overvalued. Earnings and cash flow generation from corporations have been very good, and we believe this will continue to be the case. Interest rates are likely to rise in the coming months due to the Federal Reserve (the Fed) reducing its bond purchasing program as the economy strengthens. We do not think a rise in rates will derail the economy, as the Fed is likely to gradually step away from its recent policies. Having said this, we do not expect the equity market to return another 20% in 2014, but returns can still be respectable.

The Fund maintains broad diversification and an eye toward the risks incurred in each of our holdings as well as the overall Portfolio. We believe managing risk is always important, and is particularly important now after such strong movement in the stock markets.

Large Core Value Fund

The Penn Series Large Core Value Fund returned 29.78% for the twelve-month period ending December 31, 2013, compared to the 32.53% return for its benchmark, the Russell 1000 Value Index, for the same time period.

Following a strong performance in the equity markets in calendar year 2012, equities continued their ascent in calendar year 2013, posting robust gains during the period. Despite a backdrop of political gridlock resulting in mandatory government spending “sequester” cuts initiated during the first quarter and a 16-day government shutdown in October, positive economic trends supported further market appreciation as investors received generally encouraging economic data regarding housing, employment, and manufacturing.

Given the Fed’s unprecedented accommodative measures in place during 2013 and their broader impact on market performance, investors were keenly focused on monetary policy, attempting to ascertain the Fed’s intentions regarding the timing and magnitude of the eventual pullback in its easy-money policies. Equity markets retreated in both June and August with concerns of a possible Fed pullback, only to rebound sharply in July and September. When the Fed finally made its long anticipated move in mid-December, many equity investors shrugged off earlier fears and pushed the key U.S. indexes to record highs. Market participants were buoyed by the relatively modest bond purchase reduction, along with the Fed’s accompanying assurance that it would keep short-term interest rates near zero for an extended period.

During the year, the Fund underperformed its benchmark due to unfavorable stock selection, primarily in the information technology sector. The Fund’s larger-cap bias relative to the Index served as a headwind to performance as large-caps underperformed both mid and small-cap stocks during the period.

Within information technology, the Fund’s underweight exposure to Apple, which was added to the Index during the third quarter, detracted from relative performance. Overweight positions in IBM, EMC, and Oracle also weighed on relative results. In industrials, overweight exposure to global construction and mining equipment manufacturer Caterpillar detracted.

Elsewhere, positions in financials companies AvalonBay Communities, Public Storage, and Capital One Financial were a drag on relative performance. The Fund’s modest

cash position weighed on relative performance during a period in which the Index was up over 30%.

A modest underweight to the underperforming utilities sector aided relative performance along with effective stock selection results within the sector. The Fund’s top-contributing holding during the period was an overweight position in biopharmaceutical company Gilead Sciences. Other notable contributors included overweight positions in Boeing, American Express, Thermo Fisher Scientific, and an underweight to Exxon Mobil, which lagged the broader market.

Many investors viewed the Fed’s decision to begin scaling back its bond buying program as a vote of confidence in the U.S. economy. Perhaps even more important for the equity market outlook was the Fed’s pledge to keep short-term interest rates at historically low levels for the foreseeable future in an effort to ensure sustained economic growth.

In the coming months, investors will be monitoring both the pace and magnitude of additional Fed tapering steps. On the cautionary side, the Fed has expressed concern about the persistently low U.S. inflation rate. Continued low inflation or, worse, deflation could pose a threat to the U.S. economy. Investors will also be paying close attention to economic trends in Europe and Japan, as well as in China and other emerging markets that have been grappling with elevated inflation. Finally, developments in Washington could again impact equity markets in the period ahead.

Index 500 Fund

The Penn Series Index 500 Fund returned 31.87% for the twelve-month period ending December 31, 2013, compared to the 32.39% return for its benchmark, the S&P 500 Index, for the same time period.

Relieved by the orderly mitigation of a fearsome fiscal retrenchment in the U.S., global equities surged as trading opened in 2013. The turn of the calendar brought renewal of risk appetites and resumption of investment flows, fueled by fresh optimism that economic activity might steadily reaccelerate through the course of the year. Continued weakness in the yen signaled the approach of new dynamism at the Bank of Japan, while the euro rallied progressively to one-year highs on further decreases of sovereign financial strains. Growth prospects looked buoyant enough to inspire visions of a great rotation out of bonds and into equities.

Despite electoral indecision in Italy and banking turmoil in Cyprus during the opening months of 2013, global financial markets rode renascent optimism on U.S. and Japanese growth to broadly positive investment performance. With weak U.S. employment figures reassuring investors that any retracement of monetary accommodation remained a distant prospect, both bonds and stocks appreciated nicely. The watershed event of the second quarter arrived on May 22, when U.S. Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke suggested during congressional testimony that asset purchases might slow if economic conditions continued to improve.

During the third quarter, affection for the U.S. dollar began slipping well before the Fed failed to follow through with reduced accommodation, allowing energy and metal prices to lead commodities to their best quarter of 2013. While the approach of potentially bitter U.S. fiscal negotiations brought September to a cautious close, the month and the quarter wound up with plenty of positive returns. Perhaps the most notable result was outperformance of non-U.S. assets, which have recently regained considerable relative ground after lagging starkly during the first half of the year.

As the year came to a close, the developed equity markets chalked up one of their best years in recent memory. In the U.S., the Dow Jones Industrial Average scored its largest annual gain since 1995. Japan’s Nikkei Stock Average surged more than 50% in yen terms, a milestone last achieved in 1972. Stocks overcame early December jitters to finish the year as strong as it had begun, capping 2013

with four consecutive months of positive performance. On December 18, investors took kindly to the formal Fed decision to slow asset purchases, as the associated statement implied that actual rate hikes may be delayed even longer. The dovish tone served to corroborate the resiliently accommodative stance of all the major central banks, which had already drawn fresh attention in early November, when the European Central Bank cut rates quickly in response to a starkly lower inflation reading for October. Share prices had little choice but to flourish against the backdrop of bountiful financial conditions and restrained volatility.

Mid Cap Growth Fund

The Penn Series Mid Cap Growth Fund returned 36.72% for the twelve-month period ending December 31, 2013, compared to the 35.74% return for its benchmark, the Russell Midcap Growth Index, for the same time period.

Despite all of the noise in 2013, which included the U.S. government shutdown, tapering fears, the threat of military action in Syria, and the small European country of Cyprus looking for a bailout, markets showed tremendous resiliency. Despite all of the macroeconomic concerns, investors chose to focus on the prospects of a growing global economy led by the U.S. In fact, U.S. corporate earnings increased for a fourth consecutive year. For 2013, all global indices, with the exception of emerging markets, posted strong gains led by the S&P 500 Index, which had its best year since 1997.

As for the Fund, the financial sector led performance on both a relative and absolute basis for 2013 followed by the consumer discretionary and health care sectors. Relative outperformance in the financial sector was a result of strong stock selection such as overweight positions in Cardtronics, IntercontinentalExchange and Affiliated Managers Group; we continue to own all three companies. The consumer discretionary sector contributed to overall performance as well due to overweight positions in Internet services and airlines such as LinkedIn, HomeAway and Delta Air Lines as a result we continue to own all three companies. The bio-tech industry generated significant gains for most of 2013 aside from some underperformance due to profit taking in the fourth quarter. Top performers on a relative basis were NPS Pharmaceuticals, Onyx Pharmaceuticals and Regeneron Pharmaceuticals.

The producer durables sector was by far the largest detractor to relative performance. The main culprit was Ultratech whose stock came under severe pressure during the second quarter as the semiconductor space came to a halt due to a new node design used in smartphones and tablets. With lack of clarity as to which design industry leaders such as Apple and Qualcomm would choose, all companies in this space were punished. We view any weakness in price as a buying opportunity and continue to hold the stock. Toll Brothers was another holding that weighed on relative performance as the stock took investors for a rollercoaster ride over the past 12 months. The stock suffered after lowering 2013 guidance earlier in the year but was a top contributor in the fourth quarter as confidence in the overall economy has increased along

with clarity that interest rates should remain low for the time being. Another underperformer was Joy Global, a manufacturer of mining equipment for the extraction of coal, copper, iron ore, oil sands, gold, and other minerals. We sold the stock mid-year after a negative earnings revision and poor performance in the first half of 2013.

While we do not expect equity markets to replicate the 2013 success achieved by the S&P 500 Index, we do believe equity markets will continue to move higher in 2014 supported by an expanding global economy and an accommodative fiscal policy by global central banks. In the U.S., the consumer appears to be gaining confidence with improvements occurring in the labor market and an uptick in GDP growth. Europe continues to rebound from its sovereign debt issues and looks to stabilize its economic footprint in 2014. In China, we expect to see sustainable growth in 2014 as the country looks to build its economy on domestic consumer demand and less on its export business. We believe equities will be an appealing investment in 2014 as investors continue to shift exposures out of bonds and into stocks in light of a rising interest rate environment.

Mid Cap Value Fund

The Penn Series Mid Cap Value Fund returned 36.20% for the twelve-month period ending December 31, 2013, compared to the 33.46% return for its benchmark, the Russell Midcap Value Index, for the same time period.

Throughout the past year the backdrop for equity investing was very favorable, given low rates of inflation, accommodative monetary policy with interest rates at historically low levels, a slowly growing but expanding domestic economy and stabilization (for the most part) of international economies.

The recent announcement by the Fed to reduce its purchases of treasuries and mortgage securities by $5 billion each, validated, in our opinion, that the domestic economic recovery is self-sustaining. Recent economic indicators such as durable goods orders, consumer spending, payrolls, and housing data confirm this point of view. It is also important to point out that the Fed is only tapering and is expected to continue to grow its balance sheet during 2014. At the same time, the Fed also committed to keeping the Federal Funds rate near 0% for an extended period of time. As we look ahead to 2014, monetary policy will remain a tailwind and continues to be a positive factor for equity investing. While the equity markets are way overdue for a meaningful correction after almost two years without one, it is rare to have a bear market with prolonged accommodative monetary policy and economic activity accelerating.

For the year, the Fund’s outperformance was led by last year’s underperformers (primarily Safeway and Best Buy) bouncing back from very depressed levels, based on improving financial results and corporate actions. The Fund also benefited from takeovers in Virgin Media, NV Energy and BMC Software. Our overweight position in the consumer sectors and our underweight in the utilities sector also added to performance. Detracting from performance during the year was Nuance, which continued to report disappointing earnings. Agrium, Brinks, and Cablevision also hurt performance during the year. We sold our positions in these companies after the investment thesis had changed. Our underweight in the financial services sector also hurt our relative performance.

It appears that U.S. economic growth has finally reached the point where monetary stimulus can be reduced and eventually reversed. Stronger economic activity has led to higher interest rates, ending the multi-year run in the bond market. With less risk to the global economies, money has

moved back into the equity markets, which has had above trend performance over the last several years. As a result, equity valuations have recovered to more normal valuation levels and the value cushion has been substantially reduced. However, we believe that given the recent sluggishness in earnings growth the merger and acquisition market could accelerate during 2014 and some of our companies could become targets for activist investors or merger overtures which could benefit the Fund. Unlike the last few years, where we were concerned about the sustainability of economic activity and deflation, we are now more concerned about an over acceleration of economic growth to the point where inflation accelerates and the Fed has to reverse course in a much more meaningful way than has currently been announced. This could lead to a spike in interest rates and, in our opinion, an end to the current bull market.

Mid Core Value Fund

The Penn Series Mid Core Value Fund returned 29.15% for the twelve-month period ending December 31, 2013, compared to the 33.46% return for its benchmark, the Russell Midcap Value Index, for the same time period.

Stock selection within the information technology and consumer staples sectors detracted from relative performance during the first quarter. Within information technology, shares of Broadcom Corporation, a global semiconductor company, fell and within consumer staples, shares of Bunge, a global agribusiness and food company, underperformed after the company reported fourth quarter results below consensus expectations.

Contributing to the Fund’s relative performance in the first quarter was strong stock selection within the materials and consumer discretionary sectors. Within materials, shares of Axiall, a global manufacturer of chemicals and building products, rose. Within consumer staples, shares of Tupperware Brands, a direct seller of products of multiple brands through an independent sales force worldwide, rose as strong organic sales growth resulted in better than expected fourth quarter results.

In April, the Fund’s overweight in the materials and industrials sectors coupled with underweight allocations in the telecommunication services and utilities sectors detracted from relative performance. Contributing to relative performance in April was positive stock selection within the health care sector.

The commentary provided above was from the former sub-adviser of the Fund, Lord, Abbett & Co. who was the manager of the Fund until May 1, 2013.

During the period of May through year end, the Fund received positive results in absolute terms from eight of the 10 sectors in which it was invested. Relative to the benchmark, positions in the materials and telecommunication services sectors detracted. The Fund benefited from positions in the financials and utilities sectors.

In materials, an underweight position relative to the benchmark and security selection hampered results. More specifically, the Fund was hampered by its modest exposure to metals and mining stocks, which advanced during the period. An overweight position in Newmont Mining, a gold producer, detracted. A sharp drop in gold prices during 2013 seemed likely to negatively impact Newmont’s profitability and free-cash flow.

In telecommunication services, an overweight position relative to the benchmark in CenturyLink dampened

relative performance. This high-yielding security underperformed during the period, as lower-yielding assets outperformed. In addition, CenturyLink reported weaker-than-expected results, as its growth business is not ramping up as fast as expected and its legacy businesses have contracted more quickly than expected.

In industrials, an overweight position in Republic Services detracted from relative performance. Although the waste management company reported solid third-quarter results and a positive outlook for the rest of 2013, it faces a number of challenges in 2014, including flat pricing — many of its contracts with municipalities link pricing to inflation — and higher cash taxes if bonus depreciation benefits expire. The Fund was also hindered by an overweight position in ADT, a provider of home security systems. Competition appears to be increasing, particularly from telecommunications companies, which may lead to higher churn and subscriber acquisition costs. The investment team believes the impact on ADT will prove minimal given the company’s strength in these very fragmented markets.

In the financials sector, an underweight position in REITs contributed positively to relative returns. In general, valuation of REITs has appeared unattractive. REITs have benefited from the low interest-rate and credit-spread environment. As interest rates increased, the REITs industry underperformed. The Fund also benefited from its underweight position in the utilities sector, which posted the second-weakest performance of the benchmark during the period since inception.

The team continues to follow its disciplined, bottom-up process, selecting companies one at a time for the portfolio. As of December 31, 2013, the team sees opportunity in consumer staples, health care, industrials, and energy, reflected by the Fund’s overweight positions in these sectors relative to the benchmark. Fundamental analysis and valuation work have led to smaller relative weightings in financials, consumer discretionary, materials, and information technology stocks.

The commentary provided above was from the current sub-adviser of the Fund, American Century Investment Management who became the manager of the Fund on May 1, 2013.

SMID Cap Growth Fund

The Penn Series SMID Cap Growth Fund returned 42.84% for the twelve-month period ending December 31, 2013, compared to the 40.65% return for its benchmark, the Russell 2500 Growth Index, for the same time period.

Security selection in the information technology sector contributed significantly to annual returns. Specific strength was visible among internet software and services firms, especially those that were exposed to an improving real estate market. Our position in Zillow added to annual performance as the rebound in the housing market helped the company’s site traffic rise materially. Zillow, which operates the largest online residential real estate marketplace, has moved to an advertising model that charges realtors per number of page views and has recently started to gain traction in the rental housing market. Within the commercial real estate market, Co-Star Group, a provider of market analytics and comparable sales information, enjoyed a strong return as funding for transactions improved throughout the year. Additionally within the sector, Alliance Data Systems rose sharply after the company posted better than expected earnings growth. The issuer of private label credit cards continues to diversify its revenue stream. Finally, within the software industry Service Now, which operates a cloud-computing based solution for IT service management, reported a dramatic rise in revenue that was well ahead of consensus estimates. The company is quickly growing its customer base as it faces very little competition and has been successful in providing significant cost savings compared to the traditional IT “helpdesk” model.

Security selection within the industrial sector also contributed to annual performance. Railroad Kansas City Southern rose sharply in 2013 as the company continues to benefit from stronger North American manufacturing activity via its rail lines in and out of Mexico. Additionally, the company has benefitted from the increased transportation of oil via rail. The majority of the shale regions in the U.S. do not have pipeline connectivity so the oil found in these areas is transported via rail car. Within the airline industry, Copa Holdings continues to grow rapidly as it expands its fleet, adds new routes and enjoys very strong customer demand. Shares of the airline rose sharply during the year.

Positioning in consumer discretionary modestly detracted from relative returns in 2013. Specific weakness was visible in certain specialty retailers. We purchased shares of Ulta Salon during the third quarter. Our thesis centered on a

new management team that was focused on brand development and continued new store openings. After posting a strong second quarter, their third quarter results came in below expectations due to lighter store traffic. The company also guided future results lower and suspended long term guidance. Given the reduced earnings visibility and the lack of adequate explanation as to store traffic patterns, we exited the stock for better opportunities. Also within the space, our position in Chico’s FAS weighed on returns after the company tempered its guidance for future growth.

As we move into 2014, many investors are questioning the durability of the rally in U.S. equities. While our view remains optimistic for U.S. equities, we are keeping a steady balance in the portfolios. With much of the recent rally being driven by multiple expansions, the superior earnings growth profile of the Fund has yet to be fully valued. The overall backdrop remains constructive, yet the Fund stands to benefit as the market shifts into a more discerning phase. So we are not making significant shifts to active risk exposures in the Fund. We are executing our process with consistency and constructing portfolios one stock at a time based on a bottom-up conviction.

SMID Cap Value Fund

The Penn Series SMID Cap Value Fund returned 38.00% for the twelve-month period ending December 31, 2013, compared to the 33.32% return for its benchmark, the Russell 2500 Value Index, for the same time period.

The last three months of 2013 marked the fourth consecutive quarter of positive returns for smaller cap equities, capping the best year in a decade for the Russell 2500 Value Index. This continued a broader theme that began to emerge approximately 18 months ago — the U.S. economy is on the mend. As 2013 came to a close, investor confidence was boosted by the federal budget agreement and declining unemployment numbers.

As was the case in the latter half of 2012, investors began to revalue stocks in 2013 based on company-specific fundamentals, creating a more favorable environment for our value investing approach. Against this backdrop, the Fund significantly outperformed its benchmark, the Russell 2500 Value Index, for the year. The premium was driven primarily by strong stock selection, which was positive across most sectors. Our holdings in the financial and energy sectors were the greatest contributors. The common thread across many of these successful investments was the fact that these companies were proactive in their efforts to unlock shareholder value. For example, commercial lender CapitalSource agreed to be acquired by regional bank PacWest. Other contributors included Micron Technology, SunEdison, Cimarex Energy and Men’s Wearhouse.

Overall by sector, our industrial resources and consumer staples holdings detracted. On an individual stock basis some of our more defensive holdings, including real estate company LTC Properties, were among the largest detractors in 2013. Additional detractors included Cliffs Natural Resources, AU Optronics, General Cable and Jabil Circuit.

Even after outperforming bonds dramatically in 2013, equity valuations remain decidedly more attractive into the New Year. The Fund continues to have provocative overweights in cyclical industries. In each case, our positioning decisions focus on company-specific perspectives rather than a more bullish view of the broader economy.

Management’s Discussion of Fund Performance

 

Small Cap Growth Fund

The Penn Series Small Cap Growth Fund returned 37.60% for the twelve-month period ending December 31, 2013, compared to the 43.30% return for its benchmark, the Russell 2000 Growth Index, for the same time period.

Stock selection in the health care, materials and information technology sectors were the primary detractors from relative performance during the first quarter. The Fund benefited from stock selection in the energy and financials sectors.

Goodrich Petroleum posted strong performance during the quarter as did the holding in WisdomTree Investments.

Software company BroadSoft underperformed as it delivered disappointing first quarter earnings estimates that raised questions about the sustainability of its historic growth rates. Oil and gas company Quicksilver Resources underperformed during the first quarter as the market was disappointed that the company did not monetize certain assets and partnerships that could have provided liquidity to exploit higher-margin emerging oil projects that the company has targeted.

Shares of Polypore International underperformed during the quarter following a tepid near-term outlook for the company’s lithium-ion business. Walter Energy, provider of low cost metallurgical coal lagged during the quarter.

The commentary provided above was from the former sub-adviser of the Fund, Allianz Global Investors who was the manager of the Fund until May 1, 2013.

Strong stock selection in the financials and consumer discretionary sectors were the largest contributors to relative results from May through to year end. Our stock selection in the industrials sector detracted from relative performance, as did the Fund’s cash position.

Euronet Services was the largest contributor to the Fund’s performance during the period. Euronet owns the infrastructure that consumers in Europe use to make payments for their prepaid mobile phone service. We believe this business creates a steady revenue stream as customers continue to use the infrastructure to make payments to continue their phone service. Finally, Euronet Services also operates a money transfer business, which saw improved results for money transfers in the U.S.-Mexico corridor. The stock was up significantly in the second quarter as all three business units performed well.

Broadridge Financial Solutions was another top contributor to the performance. Broadridge provides investor communications and technology-driven solutions to banks, broker-dealers, mutual funds and corporations globally. Among a number of services, the company is responsible for distributing proxy information on behalf of corporations to a wide network of broker dealers, financial advisors and mutual funds. We believe the wide network Broadridge has set up among these investor bases is a competitive advantage for the company. The stock was up after the SEC approved fees for Broadridge’s proxy services at a rate higher than the market had expected.

RealD was our largest detractor. The company makes 3-D technology for the theater industry. The portion of total box office revenues going to 3-D movies has been falling, however, which has weighed on the stock. We are monitoring the position due to those concerns.

Sodastream was another large detractor. The company creates products that allow consumers to make their own carbonated beverages at home at a much lower cost than buying those drinks at a grocery or convenience store. U.S. growth has been slower than expected in recent months, which has negatively impacted the stock, but we continue to have conviction in the company’s long-term growth potential.

The commentary provided above was from the current sub-adviser of the Fund, Janus Capital Management who became the manager of the Fund on May 1, 2013.

Small Cap Value Fund

The Penn Series Small Cap Value Fund returned 38.93% for the twelve-month period ending December 31, 2013, compared to the 34.52% return for its benchmark, the Russell 2000 Value Index, for the same time period.

In the Fund for the year, investments in the financials and materials sectors contributed positively to results, whereas the consumer discretionary and health care sectors detracted from performance.

For the year, within the financials sector, American Equity Investment Life Holding was a top contributor to relative returns. During the year, American Equity, a leading underwriter of fixed index and fixed rate annuities, reported earnings supported by stronger annuity sales and a rise in assets under management. Shares continued to gradually trade higher throughout the fourth quarter as investors were positive on third quarter earnings which exceeded expectations. As American Equity is highly levered to an improving U.S. economy, the company appears to be well positioned to benefit in a rising interest rate environment and we’re positive on its opportunity to take advantage of a potentially steepening yield curve.

During the year, we initiated a position in Esterline Technologies, a specialized manufacturer of engineered technology serving the aerospace and defense markets. We are positive on the new management team’s opportunity to build shareholder value, specifically by improving internal operations and integrating recent acquisitions. As a result, we believe the company has significant opportunities for operating margin expansion, and additionally we believe that the shares are attractive by a number of different valuation metrics. We also started a position in Spectrum Brands, a consumer products company which manufacturers various items ranging from hearing aid batteries and portable lighting to pet supplies and bug repellants. Spectrum has been steadily improving its balance sheet through debt reduction and lower interest expense, and we believe this should drive higher free cash flow and capital returns to shareholders going forward.

During the year, we exited our position in Ocwen Financial, a financial services company specializing in the servicing of non-prime mortgage loans, and a stock that has performed well in the portfolio over the past several years. Overall our fundamental thesis, supported by the company’s unique low-cost business model, its commitment to efficiency, and above-average return profile, remained intact; however,

strict to our discipline, we exited the stock after its strong performance run and appreciation in market capitalization. We also sold out of our position in EPR Properties, a real estate investment trust (REIT) focused on entertainment related properties. Although EPR Properties has a premium yield and trades at a discount compared to the sector overall, we exited the position in order to reduce our exposure to yield-oriented names as we believe they may underperform in rising interest rate environments. We currently see more attractive opportunities in more economically sensitive REITs, and thus have transitioned capital into these types of stocks.

Despite strong 2013 performance, we believe U.S. equities have further upside as the U.S. economy accelerates and as real earnings growth serves as a fundamental driver of performance going forward. We believe that U.S. corporate fundamentals remain solid, evidenced by both healthy balance sheets and earnings resilience, and should provide companies with a number of options to increase shareholder value. While we acknowledge that the potential for headwinds remain, such as geopolitical risks associated with developments in the Middle East, or political gridlock in Washington D.C., we ultimately remain constructive on the direction of U.S. equity markets, and believe that there are ample tailwinds including the strengthening U.S. housing and employment markets, which should continue to provide a favorable backdrop for equities.

Small Cap Index Fund

The Penn Series Small Cap Index Fund returned 38.13% for the twelve-month period ending December 31, 2013, compared to the 38.82% return for its benchmark, the Russell 2000 Index, for the same time period.

Relieved by the orderly mitigation of a fearsome fiscal retrenchment in the U.S., global equities surged as trading opened in 2013. The turn of the calendar brought renewal of risk appetites and resumption of investment flows, fueled by fresh optimism that economic activity might steadily reaccelerate through the course of the year. Continued weakness in the yen signaled the approach of new dynamism at the Bank of Japan, while the euro rallied progressively to one-year highs on further decreases of sovereign financial strains. Growth prospects looked buoyant enough to inspire visions of a great rotation out of bonds and into equities.

Despite electoral indecision in Italy and banking turmoil in Cyprus during the opening months of 2013, global financial markets rode renascent optimism on U.S. and Japanese growth to broadly positive investment performance. With weak U.S. employment figures reassuring investors that any retracement of monetary accommodation remained a distant prospect, both bonds and stocks appreciated nicely. The watershed event of the second quarter arrived on May 22, when U.S. Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke suggested during congressional testimony that asset purchases might slow if economic conditions continued to improve.

During the third quarter, affection for the U.S. dollar began slipping well before the Fed failed to follow through with reduced accommodation, allowing energy and metal prices to lead commodities to their best quarter of 2013. While the approach of potentially bitter U.S. fiscal negotiations brought September to a cautious close, the month and the quarter wound up with plenty of positive returns. Perhaps the most notable result was outperformance of non-U.S. assets, which have recently regained considerable relative ground after lagging starkly during the first half of the year.

As the year came to a close, the developed equity markets chalked up one of their best years in recent memory. In the U.S., the Dow Jones Industrial Average scored its largest annual gain since 1995. Japan’s Nikkei Stock Average surged more than 50% in yen terms, a milestone last achieved in 1972. Stocks overcame early December jitters to finish the year as strong as it had begun, capping 2013

with four consecutive months of positive performance. On December 18, investors took kindly to the formal Fed decision to slow asset purchases, as the associated statement implied that actual rate hikes may be delayed even longer. The dovish tone served to corroborate the resiliently accommodative stance of all the major central banks, which had already drawn fresh attention in early November, when the European Central Bank cut rates quickly in response to a starkly lower inflation reading for October. Share prices had little choice but to flourish against the backdrop of bountiful financial conditions and restrained volatility.

Developed International Index Fund

The Penn Series Developed International Index Fund returned 21.08% for the twelve-month period ending December 31, 2013, compared to the 23.29% return for its benchmark, the MSCI EAFE Index, for the same time period.

The turn of the calendar brought renewal of risk appetites and resumption of investment flows, fueled by fresh optimism that economic activity might steadily reaccelerate through the course of the year. Continued weakness in the yen signaled the approach of new dynamism at the Bank of Japan, while the euro rallied progressively to one-year highs on further reductions of sovereign financial strains. Even in January, the troubles of the yen began to infect emerging market currencies, and by early February, equity traders could no longer neglect the burden of an appreciated euro. Graft allegations in Spain and unsettled elections in Italy made it even easier for European shares to surrender momentum, while an accommodative Bank of England and a credit downgrade of the UK weighed heavily on the British pound. A revived U.S. dollar and worries over tighter property rules in China took their toll on commodity prices, but sentiment stabilized in early March with the affirmation of an official 7.5% objective for Chinese growth in 2013.

Despite electoral indecision in Italy and banking turmoil in Cyprus during the opening months of 2013, global financial markets rode renewed optimism on U.S. and Japanese growth to broadly positive investment performance. That constructive momentum carried easily into April, as the formal announcement of aggressive policy measures in Japan delivered an additional boost to the economic outlook and falling bond yields on the eurozone periphery relieved concerns about regional financial contagion. With weak U.S. employment figures reassuring investors that any retracement of monetary accommodation remained a distant prospect, both bonds and stocks appreciated nicely. Commodities faltered, however, after Chinese growth data failed to meet expectations, and the arrival of much firmer U.S. payroll data in early May achieved little more than stabilization for metals prices. But the better jobs numbers jolted bond yields from their slumber, with Japanese government debt selling off abruptly when the yen sank to four-year lows against the U.S. dollar.

Undergirded by the ongoing support of major central banks, financial assets worldwide delivered healthy returns across a broad front during the third quarter of 2013. Muted inflation pressures and signs of stability in Europe

helped equity valuations ratchet higher, outweighing mixed earnings prospects and heightened tensions in the Middle East. The most notable result was outperformance of non-US assets, which have recently regained considerable relative ground after lagging starkly during the first half of the year.

Casually defying uninspired global activity trends and persistent retrenchment in profit estimates, developed equity markets during 2013 chalked up one of their best years in recent memory. In the US, the Dow Jones Industrial Average scored its largest annual gain since 1995. Japan’s Nikkei Stock Average surged more than 50% in yen terms, a milestone last achieved in 1972. Share prices around the world rallied hard as 2013 began, and the MSCI World Index never once revisited its 2012 close. Stocks overcame early December jitters to finish the year as strong as it had begun, capping 2013 with four consecutive months of positive performance.

International Equity Fund

The Penn Series International Equity Fund returned 5.97% for the twelve-month period ending December 31, 2013, compared to the 23.29% return for its benchmark, the MSCI EAFE Index, for the same time period.

Relative performance during the year was negatively affected by our out-of-index holdings in India and stock selection in the United Kingdom. Performance was supported by our lack of exposure to Singapore and our stock selection in Hong Kong.

On a sector level, the Fund’s stock selection in energy, combined with its underweight exposure to the sector, contributed positively to relative performance. Detracting from results for the year was our selection of Financials and Materials names.

We find it helpful to revisit constantly the foundations on which we invest. Our investment philosophy is built on the premise that long-term returns are driven by the underlying profit growth of the companies we invest in. We believe an important driver of growth into the future will be derived from the creation of wealth and national assets across the Emerging Markets (EM).

Of course, identifying individual franchises in which to invest involves a lot more than just thinking about broad trends. The bulk of our research team’s effort involves assessing individual firms’ micro-fundamentals and management quality; not every company selling to the EM consumer is going to do well. But, all else being equal, leverage to the growth of EM middle classes should be a positive, not a negative.

In our view, the market may be getting ahead of itself in assuming that a strong European recovery is around the corner. Since the summer of 2012 — when many commentators were predicting the break-up of the euro — the sentiment has swung to the other extreme. Discussions of the system’s structural flaws, such as high unemployment in the periphery, German reliance on exports to Asia and arguably inappropriate monetary policy elsewhere, seem to have stopped. While the “muddling through” scenario seems the most likely for the eurozone, it will probably come at the cost of slower growth for an extended period. Without a substantial improvement in credit availability, it would be irresponsible, in our view, to assume a sharp economic recovery in the eurozone.

In the fourth quarter, relative performance was negatively affected by our stock selection in Switzerland and France. Performance was supported by our underweight exposures to Japan and Brazil. Our stock selection in Brazil also contributed positively to relative results. The strategy’s stock selection in energy and consumer discretionary contributed positively to relative performance for the fourth quarter, while our selection of materials and financials names detracted.

A new position for the Fund during the quarter was Roche Holding in the health care sector. Roche is a leading pharmaceutical company with a dominant oncology franchise. The company traditionally has been quite productive in terms of new drug development, driven by a scientific culture and strong commitment to R&D. In addition, Roche’s stronghold in cancer gives it better understanding of the disease biology, while the in-house diagnostic business provides synergies with drug development. Over the past year, Roche has made significant progress in introducing next generation products to extend its core Herceptin and Rituxan franchises, providing greater visibility into the company’s ability to grow its base business longer term. Roche is also a leader in the emerging class of immu-notherapy drugs, which has the potential to become another major franchise for the company.

Names that contributed to relative performance include: Sands China, Core Laboratories, Rolls-Royce Holdings, HDFC Bank and Persimmon. Names that detracted from relative performance were: UBS, Fresnillo, Goldcorp, Bureau Veritas and Newcrest Mining.

Management’s Discussion of Fund Performance

 

Emerging Markets Equity Fund

The Penn Series Emerging Markets Equity Fund returned –1.13% for the twelve-month period ending December 31, 2013, compared to the –2.27% return for its benchmark, the MSCI Emerging Markets Index, for the same time period.

Since mid-2011, emerging markets equities have underperformed those of developed markets as emerging markets’ economic growth has been reset downward, which has disappointed investor expectations. We think two main fault lines will continue to negatively affect emerging market returns: China’s excessive credit expansion over the last four years and growing investor concerns about countries with current account deficits that are vulnerable to the tapering of quantitative easing (QE) in the U.S. In countries affected by a Chinese slowdown — particularly Brazil, Russia and South Africa — earnings have been weaker than consensus expected. Countries with large current account deficits, such as Indonesia and Turkey, will continue to remain a concern.

Our stock selection in China and South Africa were among the primary contributors to performance during the year. An underweight allocation to Brazil, along with stock selection in Eastern Europe, Russia and India, also benefited performance.

The main detractors from results were our stock selection in Indonesia, and an overweight allocation to and stock selection in Thailand. Our stock selection and underweight allocation to Taiwan also dampened performance, as did stock selection in Korea.

As mentioned above, we believe two major fault lines will continue to negatively affect emerging market equities. First, China’s credit growth has been excessive and could contribute to an eventual economic slowdown that is likely to surprise consensus expectations. Second, current account deficits in various countries are likely to remain a concern. However, we note there are nuanced differences in the drivers and direction of each country’s current account situation and we think investors will eventually consider such differentiation.

In the Fund, we remain confident in our underweight to China and China-related plays via commodities and commodities-oriented markets such as Brazil, Russia and South Africa. In regard to the challenges from rising U.S. bond yields, we remain focused on being overweight those countries that we believe are fundamentally sound but had suffered collateral damage in 2013 — including the

Philippines, Mexico, Thailand and Poland. These are countries that have not experienced excessive credit growth since the global financial crisis and whose balance of payments is improving. We consider Eastern Europe a well-placed region to benefit from a European growth recovery. German economic growth continues to create positive spillover effects for Poland and the rest of Eastern Europe, where industrial indicators continue to signal expansion. The Philippines remains an underpenetrated market for financial products and we expect gross domestic product (GDP) growth to continue to be buoyant, driven in part by healthy investment and infrastructure spending. In these cases, we have added to our positions and bought on weakness. We have a preference for countries that exhibit constructive reform agendas, sustainable levels of investment-to-GDP and compelling earnings prospects.

Management’s Discussion of Fund Performance

 

Real Estate Securities Fund

The Penn Series Real Estate Securities Fund returned 3.13% for the twelve-month period ending December 31, 2013, compared to the 2.47% return for its benchmark, the FTSE NAREIT Equity REIT Index, for the same time period.

In 2013, U.S. commercial real estate continued to see strengthening demand across all property sectors, driven by an improving labor market, a housing recovery, increased corporate spending and a stronger global economy. At the same time, new supply remained at a multi-decade low, giving many commercial landlords the leverage to raise rents as existing space was absorbed. As a result, REITs reported generally strong growth in cash flows and, as of the third quarter, had raised dividend payouts by an average of 9% from the prior year.

Against this positive fundamental backdrop, REIT shares were negatively affected by a sharp rise in Treasury yields and concerns of higher interest rates in the near term. On May 22nd, the Federal Reserve said it could begin to taper its quantitative easing (QE) program if data continued to show improvements in employment and broader economic growth. Investors responded by selling any asset they perceived as being sensitive to interest rates, including REITs. After rising 20% year to date through May 21st, REITs fell 15% through the remainder of the year.

Stock selection in the apartment sector was the largest contributor to relative performance, as we had underweight positions or did not invest in several securities that underperformed. We were also overweight BRE Properties, which received a takeover bid from Essex Property Trust in December. Stock selection was also a positive factor in the diversified sector, due largely to our overweight in Vornado. In the hotel sector, our stock selection and overweight contributed to relative performance, helped by out-of-index allocations to several non-REIT lodging corporations, which were relatively unaffected by interest-rate concerns. Among these were two notable IPOs from the fourth quarter — Hilton Worldwide and Extended Stay America — which performed well after their debut.

Factors that detracted from relative performance included our underweights in both free standing REITs and the relatively small manufactured home sector. Stock selection in the health care sector also detracted from returns, although this was more than offset by the benefit of our underweight. The positive effect from our overweight in shopping center REITs compensated for the negative impact of stock selection in the sector.

While there may be periods of volatility as QE tapering commences, we expect REITs’ performance profile to improve in 2014, as strengthening real estate fundamentals should outweigh further headwinds from rising Treasury yields. Furthermore, if the public market continues to price REIT properties below what they are worth to private investors, more REITs could look for strategic alternatives to realize the value of their assets, potentially providing a backstop to REIT valuations.

While we expect all property sectors to benefit from rising employment, our focus is on those we believe are the most attractively valued in the context of rising employment and consumer spending. In particular, we favor owners of high quality retail assets, many of which trade at compelling valuations and continue to see healthy demand from national and regional retailers. We also see attractive value in offices located in urban markets benefiting from job growth in technology, media and life sciences. In the apartment sector, we expect household formation to accelerate as new jobs are added to the economy, releasing pent up demand for all forms of housing. By contrast, we have become more cautious toward industrial REITs, as we believe the market has underestimated the potential for increased supply. We remain cautious toward companies that own health care facilities and suburban offices.

Aggressive Allocation Fund

The Penn Series Aggressive Allocation Fund returned 22.49% for the twelve-month period ending December 31, 2013, compared to its benchmarks, the Russell 3000 Index’s return of 33.55% and the Barclays Capital U.S. Aggregate Bond Index’s return of –2.02%, for the same time period.

The Aggressive Allocation Fund is comprised of a target allocation of 95% equity funds and 5% fixed income funds. The equity allocation of the Fund is comprised of domestic equity funds ranging from large capitalization funds to small capitalization funds as well as developed international and emerging markets equity funds and the fixed income portion is primarily allocated to intermediate-term bond funds.

At the broad asset class level, the Aggressive Allocation Fund’s equity allocation underperformed its broad equity benchmark, the Russell 3000 Index for the one-year period. Contributing to this underperformance versus its benchmark was the Fund’s underlying fund allocation within the developed international and emerging market equity funds.

The Fund’s fixed income allocation underperformed the Barclays Capital U.S. Aggregate Bond Index for the one-year time period.

As a result of the annual analysis of the asset class allocations of the Fund, performed each year following the end of the third quarter, the overall asset classes remained unchanged and will continue to be effective until the next annual review. However, the Fund is continually reviewed to help ensure that it remains consistent with its investment objective by making adjustments, when necessary, of specific sub-accounts within an asset class as well as automatic rebalancing of the Fund on a quarterly basis.

Moderately Aggressive Allocation Fund

The Penn Series Moderately Aggressive Allocation Fund returned 19.16% for the twelve-month period ending December 31, 2013, compared to its benchmarks, the Russell 3000 Index’s return of 33.55% and the Barclays Capital U.S. Aggregate Bond Index’s return of –2.02%, for the same time period.

The Moderately Aggressive Allocation Fund is comprised of a target allocation of 80% equity funds and 20% fixed income funds. The equity allocation of the Fund is comprised of domestic equity funds ranging from large capitalization funds to small capitalization funds as well as developed international and emerging markets equity funds and the fixed income portion is primarily allocated to intermediate-term and short-term bond funds.

At the broad asset class level, the Moderately Aggressive Allocation Fund’s equity allocation underperformed its broad equity benchmark, the Russell 3000 Index for the one-year period. Hindering the Fund’s equity performance versus its benchmark was the Fund’s underlying fund allocation within the developed international and emerging market equity funds.

The Fund’s fixed income allocation slightly outperformed the Barclays Capital U.S. Aggregate Bond Index for the one-year time period. Contributing to the fixed income allocation’s performance was its underlying exposure to high yield fixed income.

The Moderate Allocation Fund is comprised of a target allocation of 60% equity funds and 40% fixed income funds.

Conservative Allocation Fund

The Penn Series Conservative Allocation Fund returned 4.43% for the twelve-month period ending December 31, 2013, compared to its benchmarks, the Russell 3000 Index’s return of 33.55% and the Barclays Capital U.S. Aggregate Bond Index’s return of –2.02%, for the same time period.

The Conservative Allocation Fund is comprised of a target allocation of 80% fixed income funds and a target allocation of 20% in domestic and international equity funds. The fixed income funds predominately consist of short-term and intermediate-term bonds and the equity fund allocations consist of mostly large capitalization funds with a small exposure to developed international equity funds.

At the broad asset class level, the Conservative Allocation Fund’s asset class exposure to high yield, short term bonds and cash outperformed the Barclays Capital U.S. Aggregate Bond Index for the one-year period, thus, asset allocation had a positive contribution on performance during the period.

The Fund’s equity allocation underperformed its broad equity benchmark, the Russell 3000 Index. The Fund’s underlying fund allocations within the international equity space hindered its equity performance during the period.

As a result of the annual analysis of the asset class allocations of the Fund, performed each year following the end of the third quarter, the overall asset classes remained unchanged and will continue to be effective until the next annual review. However, the Fund is continually reviewed to help ensure that it remains consistent with its investment objective by making adjustments, when necessary, of specific sub-accounts within an asset class as well as automatic rebalancing of the Fund on a quarterly basis.

Important Information about Fund Expenses

Hypothetical Examples of a $1,000 Investment (Unaudited)

 

We believe that it is important for you to understand the effect of fees on your investment. All mutual funds have operating expenses. As a participant in any of the Penn Series Funds, you incur ongoing costs, which include costs for portfolio management, administrative services, and shareholder reports among others. Operating expenses, which are deducted from a fund’s gross income, directly reduce the investment return of the fund. A fund’s expenses are expressed as a percentage of its average net assets. This figure is known as the expense ratio.

The Penn Series Funds are the underlying investment vehicles for the variable life and variable annuity contracts issued by The Penn Mutual Life Insurance Company and its subsidiary, The Penn Insurance and Annuity Company. These contracts have transaction costs, additional administrative expense fees and mortality and expense risk charges. Because of these additional expenses, the costs to investors will be higher than the figures shown in the following expense examples. The expense examples below are intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in each fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other funds.

These examples are based on an investment of $1,000 invested for six months beginning July 1, 2013 and held through December 31, 2013. The examples illustrate your fund’s costs in two ways:

 

   

Actual Fund Performance in the table below provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. The “Ending Value” shown is derived from the fund’s actual return, and “Expenses Paid During Period” shows the dollar amount that would have been paid by an investor who started with $1,000 in the fund. You may use this information, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. To do so, simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number given for your fund under the heading entitled “Expenses Paid During Period.”

 

   

Hypothetical 5% Annual Return is intended to help you compare your fund’s costs with those of other mutual funds. It assumes that the fund had a return of 5% before expenses during the period shown, but that the expense ratio is unchanged. In this case — because the return used is not the fund’s actual return — the results do not apply to your investment. The example is useful in making comparisons because the Securities and Exchange Commission requires all mutual funds to calculate expenses based on a 5% return. You can assess your fund’s cost by comparing this hypothetical example with the hypothetical examples that appear in shareholders reports of other funds. Because the return used is not an actual return, it may not be used to estimate the actual ending account value or expenses you paid for the period.

Please note that the expenses shown in the table are only meant to highlight and help you compare your ongoing costs of investing in the funds and do not reflect any fees and charges deducted under your insurance contract. The “Annualized Expense Ratio” represents the actual expenses for the six-month period indicated and will be different from the expense ratio in the Financial Highlights which is for the year ended December 31, 2013.

Loan Agreements in which the Fund invests generally pay interest at rates which are periodically predetermined by reference to a base lending rate plus a premium. These base lending rates are generally (i) the Prime Rate offered by one or more major U.S. banks, (ii) the lending rate offered by one or more European banks such as the London Inter-Bank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) or (iii) the Certificate of Deposit rate. Rate shown represents the actual rate at December 31, 2013. Loan Agreements, while exempt from registration under the Security Act of 1933, as amended (the “1933 Act”), contain certain restrictions on resale and cannot be sold publicly. Floating rate Loan Agreements often require repayments from excess cash flow or permit the borrower to repay at its election. The degree to which borrowers repay, whether as a contractual requirement or at their election, cannot be predicted with accuracy. As a result, the actual remaining maturity may be substantially less than the stated maturity shown.
* Non-income producing security.
@ Security sold within the terms of a private placement memorandum, restricted and/or exempt from registration under Rule 144A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and may be sold only to dealers in the program or other “accredited investors”. Unless otherwise indicated, the security is considered liquid.
^ Illiquid security. The total market value of illiquid securities at December 31, 2013 is $403,015.
Variable Rate Security. Rates shown represents rates in effect as of 12/31/2013.
~ Fair valued security. The total market value of fair valued securities at December 31, 2013 is $24,557.

CAP — Capitalization Bond.

CONV — Convertible Security.

LLC — Limited Liability Company.

LP — Limited Partnership.

See Security Valuation Note.
* Non-income producing security.
@ Security sold within the terms of a private placement memorandum, restricted and/or exempt from registration under Rule 144A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and may be sold only to dealers in the program or other “accredited investors”. Unless otherwise indicated, the security is considered liquid.
Variable Rate Security. Rates shown represents rates in effect as of 12/31/2013.
^ Illiquid security. The total market value of illiquid securities at December 31, 2013 is $37,472,255.
Loan Agreements in which the Fund invests generally pay interest at rates which are periodically predetermined by reference to a base lending rate plus a premium. These base lending rates are generally (i) the Prime Rate offered by one or more major U.S. banks, (ii) the lending rate offered by one or more European banks such as the London Inter-Bank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) or (iii) the Certificate of Deposit rate. Rate shown represents the actual rate at December 31, 2013. Loan Agreements, while exempt from registration under the Security Act of 1933, as amended (the “1933 Act”), contain certain restrictions on resale and cannot be sold publicly. Floating rate Loan Agreements often require repayments from excess cash flow or permit the borrower to repay at its election. The degree to which borrowers repay, whether as a contractual requirement or at their election, cannot be predicted
  with accuracy. As a result, the actual remaining maturity may be substantially less than the stated maturity shown.

LLC — Limited Liability Company.

LP — Limited Partnership.

PLC — Public Limited Company.

Following is a reconciliation of Level 3 investments for which significant unobservable inputs were used to determine fair value:

 

      Investments in
Securities
(Market Value)
 

Balance as of 12/31/2012

   $ 429,019   

Transfers out of level 3

     (402,202

Change in Unrealized Appreciation/(Depreciation)

     (17,326
  

 

 

 

Balance as of 12/31/2013

   $ 9,491   
  

 

 

 

It is the Fund’s policy to recognize transfers in and transfers in and transfers out at the fair value as of the beginning of period.

Fair Value of Level 2 investments at 12/31/12 was $7,338,072 which was a result of valuing investments using third-party vendor modeling tools. An amount of $4,758,172 was transferred from Level 2 into Level 1 at 12/31/2013 as a result of using quoted prices in active market for such foreign securities.

Fair Value of Level 3 investments at 12/31/12 was $429,019. An amount of $402,202 was transferred from Level 3 into Level 2 at 12/31/13 as a result of changes in significant observable inputs.

Penn Series Funds, Inc.

Notes to Financial Statements — December 31, 2013

 

 

1 — ORGANIZATION

Penn Series Funds, Inc. (“Penn Series”) was incorporated in Maryland on April 22, 1982. Penn Series is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, as an open-end, diversified management investment company. Penn Series is open only to purchasers of The Penn Mutual Life Insurance Company (“Penn Mutual”) and The Penn Insurance and Annuity Company insurance contracts and certain of Penn Mutual’s employee benefit plans.

Penn Series is presently offering shares in its Money Market, Limited Maturity Bond, Quality Bond, High Yield Bond, Flexibly Managed, Balanced, Large Growth Stock, Large Cap Growth, Large Core Growth, Large Cap Value, Large Core Value, Index 500, Mid Cap Growth, Mid Cap Value, Mid Core Value, SMID Cap Growth, SMID Cap Value, Small Cap Growth, Small Cap Value, Small Cap Index, Developed International Index, International Equity, Emerging Markets Equity, Real Estate Securities, Aggressive Allocation, Moderately Aggressive Allocation, Moderate Allocation, Moderately Conservative Allocation and Conservative Allocation Funds (each a “Fund” and collectively, the “Funds”). Penn Series also has the authority to issue shares in three additional funds, each of which would have their own investment objective and policies.

Fund of Funds (“FOFs”) — Each Penn Series FOF seeks to achieve its investment objective by investing in other Penn Series Funds (“Underlying Funds”) and uses asset allocation strategies to determine how much to invest in the Underlying Funds. The Penn Series FOFs are the following Funds: Balanced, Aggressive Allocation, Moderately Aggressive Allocation, Moderate Allocation, Moderately Conservative Allocation and Conservative Allocation Funds.

2 — SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The following significant accounting policies are followed by Penn Series in the preparation of its financial statements. The preparation of financial statements in accordance with the accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“U.S. GAAP”) requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Actual results could differ from those estimates and those differences could be material.

SECURITY VALUATION:

Money Market Fund — Investments in securities are valued using the amortized cost method as permitted by Rule 2a-7 under the Investment Company Act of 1940, which involves initially valuing investments at cost and thereafter assuming a constant amortization to maturity of any premium or discount. This method approximates market value.

Limited Maturity Bond, Quality Bond, High Yield Bond, Flexibly Managed, Large Growth Stock, Large Cap Growth, Large Core Growth, Large Cap Value, Large Core Value, Index 500, Mid Cap Growth, Mid Cap Value, Mid Core Value, SMID Cap Growth, SMID Cap Value, Small Cap Growth, Small Cap Value, Small Cap Index, Developed International Index, International Equity, Emerging Markets Equity, Real Estate Securities Funds — Portfolio securities listed on a securities exchange or an automated quotation system for which quotations are readily available, including securities traded over the counter, are valued at the last quoted sale price on the principal exchange or market on which they are traded on the valuation date or, if there is no such reported sale on the valuation date, at the most recent quoted bid price. Debt and fixed income securities are valued by recognized independent third-party valuation services, employing evaluation methodologies that utilize actual market transactions, broker-dealer supplied valuations, and matrix pricing. Matrix pricing for corporate bonds, floating rate notes, municipal securities and U.S. government and government agency obligations considers yield or price of bonds of comparable quality, coupon, maturity and type and, for asset backed securities, commercial mortgage securities and U.S. government agency mortgage securities, also considers prepayment speed assumptions and attributes and performance of the underlying collateral. Securities valued according to these evaluation methods are generally categorized as Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy described below. To the extent that bid prices are provided by the pricing service, the Funds will use the bid price. Debt obligations with remaining maturities of sixty days or less may be valued at their amortized cost, which approximates market value. The prices for foreign securities are reported in local currency and converted to U.S. dollars using currency exchange rates.

Options are valued at the last traded price on the market where such options are principally traded or, if there was no trade on such day, at the last bid quote. Futures contracts are valued at the last settlement price on the market where such futures contracts are principally traded. Although derivatives may be subject to netting provisions, as discussed further in Note 7, derivatives held are carried at their gross amounts.

Notes to Financial Statements — December 31, 2013

 

 

To assess the continuing appropriateness of third party pricing service security valuations, the Adviser or sub-adviser, as applicable, or the fund accounting service provider, who is subject to oversight by the Administrator, regularly monitor the prices and compare prices to alternate sources where applicable. Pricing challenges are issued for valuation differences exceeding certain tolerances or when considered not reflective of market by the Adviser or sub-adviser, as applicable.

Securities for which market quotations are not readily available are valued at fair value prices determined using methods approved by the Board of Directors. The Penn Series Valuation Committee (the “Valuation Committee”), established by and subject to oversight by the Board of Directors, monitors pricing related policies and procedures and approves all fair value determinations. The Valuation Committee consists of representatives from Independence Capital Management, Inc. (“ICMI” or the “Adviser”), the investment adviser to each of the Funds, and Penn Mutual, the administrator to the Funds (the “Administrator”). The Valuation Committee regularly makes good faith judgments, using sources and information obtained, including recommendations and supporting rationales and inputs from the Adviser or the applicable sub-adviser, to establish and /or adjust fair valuations of securities as events occur and circumstances warrant. The information and inputs may include but are not limited to cost of the security, last sale price, private transaction trading prices, comparable publically traded security prices, discount rates, publically disclosed news stories and regulatory filings, estimated cash flows and yield curves. As part of its procedures, the Valuation Committee monitors the fair valued securities, considers additional news or significant developments relative to the specific security, reviews the valuations with the Adviser or respective sub-adviser on a regular basis and applies back testing procedures to valuations as applicable. Reasons for which securities may be valued in this manner include, but are not limited to, trading on an exchange for a security has been halted, suspended or has not begun, a security has been de-listed from a national exchange, trading on a security’s primary market is temporarily closed at a time when, under normal conditions, it would be open, or valuation by a third party pricing service is currently not available or is no longer available.

Certain events may occur between the time that foreign markets close, on which securities held by the Fund principally trade, and the time at which the Fund’s NAV is calculated. These securities are valued at a fair value utilizing an independent third-party valuation service in accordance with procedures adopted by the Fund’s Board of Directors. The methodology and procedures followed by the valuation service consider the correlation of the trading patterns of the foreign security to the intraday trading in the U.S. markets for investments such as ADRs, financial futures, ETFs, and certain indexes as well as prices for similar securities. Securities valued using such valuation service are classified as Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy as these adjustment factors are considered other observable inputs to the valuation. Values from the valuation service are applied in the event that there is a movement in the U.S. market that exceeds a specific threshold that has been established by the Valuation Committee. The Valuation Committee has also established a “confidence interval”, which is used to determine the level of historical correlation between the value of a specific foreign security and movements in the U.S. market before a particular security will be fair valued when the threshold is exceeded. In the event that the threshold established by the Valuation Committee is exceeded on a specific day, the Funds shall value the non-U.S. securities in their portfolios that exceed the applicable “confidence interval” based upon the adjusted prices provided by the fair valuation service.

The determination of a security’s fair value price often involves the consideration of a number of subjective factors, and is therefore subject to the unavoidable risk that the value assigned to a security may be higher or lower than the security’s value would be if a reliable market quotation for the security was readily available.

Balanced, Aggressive Allocation, Moderately Aggressive Allocation, Moderate Allocation, Moderately Conservative Allocation and Conservative Allocation Funds — The valuation of each Fund’s investment in its Underlying Funds is based on the net asset values of the Underlying Funds each business day.

Fair value measurements are determined within a framework that has established a fair value hierarchy based upon the various data inputs utilized in determining the value of the Fund’s investments. Inputs refer broadly to the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset. Inputs may be observable or unobservable. Observable inputs are inputs that reflect the assumptions market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability based on market data obtained from sources independent of the reporting entity. Unobservable inputs are inputs that reflect the reporting entity’s own

Notes to Financial Statements — December 31, 2013

 

 

assumptions about the assumptions market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability based on the best information available in the circumstances. These inputs are summarized into three broad levels as follows:

 

   

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 Fund’s own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments)

Transfers between levels 1 and 2 during the year ended December 31, 2013, if any, are shown as notes on the Schedule of Investments of the individual fund.

New Accounting Pronouncement — In December 2011, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2011-11, “Balance Sheet — Disclosures about Offsetting Assets and Liabilities”. This standard requires an entity to disclose information about offsetting and related arrangements to enable users of its financial statements to understand the effect of those arrangements on its financial position. The expanded disclosures required by this guidance are discussed further in Note 7. Adoption of this guidance did not have a material effect on the Funds’ financial position or results of operations.

Foreign Currency Translation — The books and records of the Funds are maintained in U.S. dollars. Foreign currency amounts are translated into U.S. dollars on the following basis: market value of investment securities, assets and liabilities at the current rate of exchange; purchases and sales of investment securities, income and expenses at the relevant rates of exchange prevailing on the respective dates of such transactions.

The Funds do not isolate the portion of realized and unrealized gains and losses on investments which is due to changes in the foreign exchange rate from that which is due to changes in market prices of equity securities. Such fluctuations are included with net realized and unrealized gain or loss from investments.

Foreign security and currency transactions may involve certain considerations and risks not typically associated with those of U.S. dollar denominated transactions as a result of, among other factors, the level of governmental supervision and regulation of foreign securities markets and the possibility of political or economic instability.

Loan Agreements — Certain Funds may invest in loan agreements, also known as bank loans, which represent an interest in amounts owed by a borrower to a syndication of lenders. Bank loans may involve multiple loans with the same borrower under a single credit agreement (each loan, a tranche), and each tranche may have different terms and associated risks. A bank or other financial institution typically acts as the agent and administers a bank loan in accordance with the associated credit agreement. Bank loans are generally noninvestment grade and often involve borrowers whose financial condition is troubled or uncertain and companies that are highly leveraged. The Funds may buy and sell bank loans in the form of either loan assignments or loan participations. A loan assignment transfers all legal, beneficial, and economic rights to the buyer. Although loan assignments continue to be administered by the agent, the buyer acquires direct rights against the borrower. In many cases, a loan assignment requires the consent of both the borrower and the agent. In contrast, a loan participation generally entitles the buyer to receive the cash flows from principal, interest, and any fee payments that the seller is entitled to receive from the borrower; however, the seller continues to hold legal title to the loan. As a result, with loan participations, the buyer generally has no right to enforce compliance with terms of the credit agreement against the borrower, and the buyer is subject to the credit risk of both the borrower and the seller. Bank loans often have extended settlement periods, during which the fund is subject to nonperformance by the counterparty.

SECURITY TRANSACTIONS, INVESTMENT INCOME AND EXPENSES: Security transactions are accounted for on the trade date. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date and interest income is accrued as earned. Discounts and premiums are accreted and amortized using the effective interest method. The cost of investment securities sold is determined by using the specific identification method for both financial reporting and income tax purposes. Expenses directly attributable to a Fund are directly charged. Common expenses of the Funds are allocated using methods approved by the Board of Directors, generally based on average net assets. Expenses included in the accompanying financial statements reflect the expenses of each Fund and do not include any expenses associated with the Underlying Funds of the FOFs.

DIVIDENDS TO SHAREHOLDERS: Except for the Money Market Fund, all or a portion of each Fund’s undistributed net investment income and accumulated net realized gain on investment and foreign exchange transactions, if any, at December 31, 2013 were deemed distributed as consent dividends to each respective Fund’s shareholders in place of regular distributions. As consent dividends, shareholders of each Fund agree to treat their share of undistributed net investment income and accumulated net realized gain on investment and foreign exchange transactions, if any, at December 31, 2013, respectively, as dividend income and net capital gains for tax purposes. In the case of the Money Market Fund, dividends paid from undistributed net investment income and accumulated net realized gain on investments are declared daily and paid monthly.

Dividends from net investment income and distributions from net realized gains are determined in accordance with federal income tax regulations which may differ from net investment income and net realized capital gains recorded in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. To the extent that these differences are permanent, such amounts are reclassified within the capital accounts based on their federal tax basis treatment; temporary differences do not require such reclassification. Distributions from net realized gains may involve short-term capital gains, which are included as ordinary income for tax purposes.

The character of distributions received from real estate investment trusts (“REITs”) held by a Fund is generally comprised of net investment income, capital gains, and return of capital. It is the policy of the Funds to estimate the character of distributions received from the underlying REITs based on historical data provided by the REITs. As of year-end, differences between the estimated and actual amounts are reflected in a Fund’s records.

* For FoFs, with the exception of the Balanced Fund, the operating expense limit applies only at the Fund level and does not limit the fees indirectly incurred by the FOFs through their investments in the Underlying Funds.

Effective September 10, 2009, Penn Series, on behalf of its Money Market Fund, ICMI, and Penn Mutual, entered into an agreement whereby ICMI and Penn Mutual may temporarily and voluntarily waive fees and/or reimburse expenses in excess of their current fee waiver and expense reimbursement commitments in an effort to maintain a minimum net distribution yield for the Money Market Fund. Under the agreement, ICMI and Penn Mutual may, subject to certain minimum yield criteria, as well as a prospective three-year reimbursement period, recapture from the Money Market Fund any fees or expenses waived and/or reimbursed under this arrangement. These reimbursement payments by the Fund to ICMI and/or Penn Mutual are considered “extraordinary expenses” and are not subject to any net operating expense limitations in effect at the time of such payment. This recapture could negatively affect the Fund’s future yield.

During the period covered by this report, Penn Mutual agreed to voluntarily waive its administrative and corporate services fees and reimburse expenses so that the Index 500 Fund’s total expenses did not exceed 0.35%. Penn Mutual may change or eliminate all or part of this voluntary waiver at any time. In addition, effective September 1, 2010, and throughout the period covered by this report, Penn Mutual and ICMI agreed to voluntarily waive a portion of their fees and/or reimburse expenses so that the Emerging Markets Equity Fund’s total expenses did not exceed 1.68%. During the year ended December 31, 2013, ICMI voluntarily waived $163,358 of advisor fees in the Emerging Markets Equity Fund. Penn Mutual or ICMI may change or eliminate all or part of this voluntary waiver at any time.

If, at the end of each month, there is no liability of ICMI and Penn Mutual to pay the Funds such excess amount, and if payments of the advisory fee or administrative and corporate services fee at the end of prior months during the preceding three fiscal years have been reduced in excess of that required to maintain expenses within the expense limitation, such excess reduction is eligible to be recaptured by ICMI and Penn Mutual and, if recaptured, would become payable by the Funds to ICMI and Penn Mutual along with the advisory fee or administrative and corporate services fee for that month, as applicable. Penn Mutual and/or ICMI’s election not to recapture the amount of any reduction and reimbursement to which it is entitled in no way impairs the rights of Penn Mutual and/or ICMI to subsequently recapture such amount, provided that such amount remains eligible for recapture and would not cause the Fund to exceed its expense limit for that fee payment period.

6 — FEDERAL INCOME TAXES

Each Fund has qualified and intends to continue to qualify as a regulated investment company (“RIC”) under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code for federal income tax purposes. As such, each Fund is required to distribute all investment company taxable income and net capital gains, if any, to its shareholders in order to avoid the imposition of entity-level federal, state, and local income taxes as well as an entity-level excise tax. Except for the Money Market Fund, to

the extent any Fund had undistributed investment company taxable income and net capital gains at December 31, 2013, such undistributed investment company taxable income and net capital gains were deemed distributed as consent dividends in place of regular distributions. Accordingly, no provision has been made for federal, state, or local income and excise taxes.

On December 22, 2010, The Regulated Investment Company Modernization Act of 2010 (the “Act”) was signed into law. The Act amended several tax rules impacting the Funds. Some highlights of the enacted provisions are as follows:

The Act allows for capital losses occurring in the taxable years beginning after December 22, 2010 (“post-enactment losses”) to be carried forward indefinitely. However, the Act requires any future gains to be first offset by post-enactment losses before using capital losses incurred in the taxable years beginning prior to the effective date of the Act (“pre-enactment losses”). As a result of this ordering rule, pre-enactment loss carryforwards have an increased likelihood to expire unused. Furthermore, post-enactment losses will retain their character as either long-term capital losses or short-term capital losses rather than being considered all short-term capital losses as under previous law.

The Act provides that a RIC may elect for any taxable year to treat any portion of any qualified late-year loss for such taxable year as arising on the first day of the following taxable year. The term “qualified late-year loss” means any post-October capital loss and any late-year ordinary loss.

The Act also contains simplification provisions, which are aimed at preventing disqualification of a RIC for “inadvertent” failures of the asset diversification and/or qualifying income tests.

Reclassification of Capital Accounts:

Dividends from net investment income and distributions from net realized capital gains are determined in accordance with U.S. federal income tax regulations, which may differ from those amounts determined under U.S. GAAP. These book/tax differences are either temporary or permanent in nature. To the extent these differences are permanent, they are charged or credited to paid-in capital or accumulated net realized gain or net investment income, as appropriate, in the period that the differences arise. Accordingly, the following permanent differences as of December 31, 2013, primarily attributable to consent dividends, reclass of capital gains tax income recognized from pass-through entities, the disallowance of net operating losses, the tax treatment of Passive Foreign Investment Companies, the reclassification of net foreign currency exchange gains or losses and the reclassification of paydown losses were reclassed between the following accounts:

The differences between book basis and tax basis appreciation are primarily due to wash sales, Passive Foreign Investment Companies, Partnership Investments, Trust Preferred Securities, real estate investment trust adjustments, and the treatment of certain corporate actions.

Management has analyzed the Funds’ tax positions taken on federal income tax returns for all open tax years and has concluded that as of December 31, 2013, no provision for income tax would be required in the Funds’ financial statements. The Funds’ federal and state income and federal excise tax returns for tax years for which the applicable statutes of limitations have not expired are subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service and state department of revenue.

7 — DERIVATIVE FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

The Funds may trade derivative financial instruments in the normal course of investing activities to assist in managing exposure to market risks such as interest rates and foreign currency exchange rates. These financial instruments include written options, forward foreign currency exchange contracts and futures contracts.

The notional or contractual amounts of these instruments represent the investment the Funds have in particular classes of financial instruments and do not necessarily represent the amounts potentially subject to risk. The measurement of the risks associated with these instruments is meaningful only when all related and offsetting transactions are considered.

Futures Contracts — A futures contract is a standardized contract between two parties to buy or sell a specified asset at a specified future date at a price agreed today (the future price). The party agreeing to buy the underlying asset in the future assumes a long position. The price is determined by the instantaneous equilibrium between the forces of supply and demand among competing buy and sell orders on the exchange at the time of the purchase or sale of the contract.

To the extent permitted by the investment objective, restrictions and policies set forth in the Funds’ Prospectus and Statement of Additional Information, the Funds may participate in various derivative-based transactions. The Index 500, Developed International Index and Small Cap Index Funds employ futures to maintain market exposure and otherwise assist in attempting to replicate the performance of their respective indices. These derivatives offer unique characteristics and risks that assist the Funds in meeting their investment objectives. The Funds typically use derivatives in two ways: cash equitization and return enhancement. Cash equitization is a technique that may be used by the Funds through the use of futures contracts to earn “market-like” returns with the Funds’ excess and liquidity reserve cash balances and receivables. Return enhancement can be accomplished through the use of derivatives in the Funds. By purchasing these instruments, the Funds may more effectively achieve the desired fund characteristics that assist in meeting the Funds’ investment objectives.

Futures contracts involve a number of risks, such as possible default by the counterparty to the transaction, credit risk with respect to initial and variation margins held in a brokerage account, market movement and the potential of greater loss than if these techniques had not been used by a Fund. These investments can also increase the Fund’s share price and expose the Fund to significant additional costs.

The Index 500, Developed International Index and Small Cap Index Funds have entered into futures contracts during the year ended December 31, 2013. Open futures contracts held by the Index 500, Developed International Index and Small Cap Index Funds at December 31, 2013 were as follows:

Options — An option establishes a contract between two parties concerning the buying or selling of an asset at a reference price. The buyer of the option gains the right, but not the obligation, to engage in some specific transaction on the asset, while the seller incurs the obligation to fulfill the transaction if so requested by the buyer. The price of an option derives from the difference between the reference price and the value of the underlying asset plus a premium based on the time remaining until the expiration of the option. The Funds may buy and sell options, or write options.

Options are valued daily based upon the last sale price on the principal exchange on which the option is traded. The difference between the premium received or paid, and market value of the option, is recorded as unrealized appreciation or depreciation. The net change in unrealized appreciation or depreciation is reported in the Statement of Operations. When an option is exercised, the cost of the security purchased or the proceeds of the security sale are adjusted by the amount of premium received or paid. Upon the expiration or closing of the option transaction, a gain or loss is reported in the Statement of Operation.

The Flexibly Managed and High Yield Bond Funds have purchased options to decrease exposure to equity risk. The risk associated with purchased options is limited to premium paid. The Funds also received premiums for options written. The risk in writing a call option is that the Funds give up the opportunity for profit if the market price of the security increases and the option is exercised. The risk in writing a put option is that the Funds may incur a loss if the market price of the security decreases and the option is exercised. The risk in buying an option is that the Funds pay a premium whether or not the option is exercised. The Funds also have the additional risk that there may be an illiquid market where the Funds are unable to close the contract.

Transactions in options written during the year ended December 31, 2013 for the Flexibly Managed Fund were as follows:

Forward Foreign Currency Contracts — A forward currency contract involves an obligation to purchase or sell a specific currency at a future date, which may be any number of days from the date of the contract agreed upon by the parties, at a price set at the time of the contract. These contracts are traded directly between currency traders and their customers. The

contract is marked-to-market daily and the change in market value is recorded by each Fund as an unrealized gain or loss. When the contract is closed or offset with the same counterparty, the Fund records a realized gain or loss equal to the change in the value of the contract when it was opened and the value at the time it was closed or offset.

The High Yield Bond, Mid Core Value and Emerging Markets Equity Funds entered into forward currency contracts in conjunction with the planned purchase or sale of foreign denominated securities in order to hedge the U.S. dollar cost or proceeds. The Funds hedge currencies in times of base currency weakness in order to reduce the volatility of returns for the local securities which the Fund owns.

Foreign forward currency contracts involve a number of risks, including the possibility of default by the counterparty to the transaction and, to the extent the portfolio manager’s judgment as to certain market movements is incorrect, the risk of losses that are greater than if the investment technique had not been used. For example, there may be an imperfect correlation between the Fund’s portfolio holdings of securities denominated in a particular currency and the forward contracts entered into by the Fund. An imperfect correlation of this type may prevent the Fund from achieving the intended

hedge or expose the Fund to the risk of currency exchange loss. These investment techniques also tend to limit any potential gain that might result from an increase in the value of the hedged position. These investments can also increase the volatility of the Fund’s share price and expose the Fund to significant additional costs.

The following is a summary of the gross amount of each Fund’s derivative instrument holdings categorized by primary risk exposure as of December 31, 2013:

High Yield Bond Fund            $6,085               $109,516

In order to better define their contractual rights and to secure rights that will help the Funds mitigate their counterparty risk, the Funds may participate in International Swaps and Derivatives Association, Inc. Master Agreements (“ISDA Master Agreement” or “ISDA”) with derivative contract counterparties or enter into similar agreements covering foreign exchange contracts (“Fx Letters”). An ISDA Master Agreement is a bilateral agreement between a Fund and a counterparty that governs Over The Counter (“OTC”) traded derivatives and foreign exchange contracts and typically contains, among other things, collateral posting terms and netting provisions in the event of a default and/or termination event. Under an ISDA Master Agreement, a fund may, under certain circumstances, offset with the counterparty certain derivative financial instrument’s payables and/or receivables with collateral held and/or posted and create one single net payment. The provisions of the ISDA Master Agreement typically permit a single net payment in the event of default (close-out netting) including the bankruptcy or insolvency of the counterparty. Also, bankruptcy or insolvency laws of a particular

jurisdiction may impose restrictions on or prohibitions against the right of offset in bankruptcy, insolvency or other events. An Fx Letter is also a bilateral agreement between a Fund and a counterparty and is limited to cover only foreign exchange contracts. Fx Letters typically contain netting provisions covering events of default and do not require collateral to be posted. ISDAs and Fx Letters containing netting provisions may be referred to as Master Netting Agreements (“MNA”).

Collateral and margin requirements differ by type of derivative. Margin requirements are established by the broker for OTC traded derivatives or by the clearing house for exchange traded derivatives. Brokers can ask for margining in excess of the minimum in certain circumstances. Collateral terms are contract specific for OTC derivatives (foreign currency exchange

contracts and options). For derivatives traded under an ISDA Master Agreement, the collateral requirements are typically calculated by netting the mark to market amount for each transaction under such agreement and comparing that amount to the value of any collateral currently pledged by a Fund and the counterparty. Generally, the amount of collateral due from or to a party has to exceed a minimum transfer amount threshold before a transfer has to be made. To the extent amounts due to a Fund from its counterparties are not fully collateralized, contractually or otherwise, the Fund bears the risk of loss from counterparty non-performance. The Fund attempts to mitigate counterparty risk by only entering into agreements with counterparties that it believes have the financial resources to honor their obligations and by monitoring the financial stability of those counterparties.

The following table presents derivative assets and liabilities net of amounts available for offset under a MNA and, as applicable, the related collateral and potential loss exposure to each Fund as of December 31, 2013:

8 — CREDIT AND MARKET RISK

The Funds may invest a portion of their assets in illiquid securities, which may include securities with contractual restrictions on resale, securities exempt from registration under Rule 144A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and other securities which may not be readily marketable. The relative illiquidity of these securities may impair the Funds’ ability to dispose of them in a timely manner and at a fair price when it is necessary or preferable to do so.

The high yield securities in which the High Yield Bond Fund may invest are predominantly speculative as to the issuer’s continuing ability to meet principal and interest payments. The value of the lower quality securities in which the High Yield Bond Fund may invest will be affected by the credit worthiness of individual issuers, general economic and specific industry conditions, and will fluctuate inversely with changes in interest rates. In addition, the secondary trading market for lower quality bonds may be less active and less liquid than the trading market for higher quality bonds.

The High Yield Bond, Flexibly Managed, Large Growth Stock, Large Cap Growth, Mid Core Value, Small Cap Growth, Developed International Index, International Equity and the Emerging Markets Equity Funds invest in securities of foreign issuers in various countries. These investments may involve certain considerations and risks not typically associated with investments in the United States, as a result of, among other factors, the possibility of future political and economic developments and the level of governmental supervision and regulation of securities markets in the respective countries.

9 — CONTRACTUAL OBLIGATIONS

In the general course of business, the Funds enter into contracts that contain a variety of representations and warranties and which provide general indemnification. The Funds’ maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Funds and/or its affiliates that have not yet occurred. However, based on experience, management of the Funds expects the risk of loss to be remote.

10 — PENDING LEGAL MATTERS

Penn Series has been named as a defendant and a putative member of the proposed defendant class of shareholders in the case entitled Official Committee of Unsecured Creditors of Tribune Co. v. FitzSimons (In re Tribune Co.), No. 12-cv-02652 (WHP) (S.D.N.Y.), as a result of the Penn Series Index 500 Fund’s ownership of shares in the Tribune Company (“Tribune”) in 2007. The plaintiff in this action is seeking recoveries on behalf of certain Tribune creditors based on its assertions that the leveraged buy-out rendered Tribune insolvent, that there was no consideration for the redemptions, and therefore the redemptions are voidable as an intentional fraudulent transfer. The lawsuit does not allege any wrongdoing on the part of Penn Series or the Index 500 Fund. The value of the proceeds received by the Index 500 Fund was just in excess of $50,000. At this stage in the proceedings, Penn Series is not able to assess with any reasonable certainty the probable outcomes of the pending lawsuit or the effect, if any, on the Index 500 Fund’s net asset value.

11 — SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

Management has evaluated the impact of all subsequent events on the Funds through the date the financial statements were issued and has determined that there were no subsequent events requiring recognition or disclosure in the financial statements.

Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of December 31, 2013, by correspondence with the custodian, transfer agent, and brokers, or other appropriate auditing procedures. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements and financial highlights referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Penn Series Funds, Inc., comprised of the Funds as of December 31, 2013, the results of their operations for the year then ended, the changes in their net assets for each of the years in the two-year period then ended, and the financial highlights for each of the years in the five-year period then ended, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

Board Approval of Amended Investment Advisory Agreement

The Penn Series Funds, Inc. (the “Company”) and Independence Capital Management, Inc. (“ICMI”) have entered into an investment advisory agreement (the “Current Agreement”). Pursuant to the Current Agreement, ICMI (i) provides day-to-day investment management services to certain portfolios of the Company and (ii) is responsible for selection and oversight of various investment sub-advisers who perform day-to-day investment management services for certain portfolios of the Company. At a meeting held on November 13, 2013 (the “Board Meeting”), the Board, including all of the Directors who are not “interested persons,” as defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”), of the Company (collectively, the “Independent Directors”), considered and unanimously approved, subject to shareholder approval, an amendment to the Current Agreement (the “Amended Agreement” or the “Proposal”) that provides for a modified advisory fee rate schedule for the Money Market Fund, Quality Bond Fund, and Large Growth Stock Fund that includes additional breakpoints, and the introduction of a new advisory fee rate schedule for each of the Limited Maturity Bond Fund, High Yield Bond Fund, Flexibly Managed Fund, Large Cap Value Fund, Large Core Value Fund, Index 500 Fund, International Equity Fund, Aggressive Allocation Fund, Moderately Aggressive Allocation Fund, Moderate Allocation Fund, Moderately Conservative Allocation Fund, and Conservative Allocation Fund (collectively, with the Money Market Fund, Quality Bond Fund, and Large Growth Stock Fund, the “Funds”).

In considering whether to approve the Amended Agreement, the Board considered and discussed a substantial amount of information and analysis provided by ICMI. ICMI explained the specific reasons for its recommendation. ICMI also explained that the Proposal would require the approval of each Fund’s shareholders, which would necessitate the preparation and delivery of a proxy statement, a proxy solicitation and a special shareholders’ meeting. ICMI informed the Board of its intent to bear its proportionate shares of the expenses associated with these activities. The Board also considered detailed information regarding fees and expenses of other comparable funds. The Board had the opportunity to request additional information in connection with its considerations and to discuss this information with ICMI personnel, including representatives from the legal, compliance and finance departments, and investment personnel. The Board posed questions to these representatives and engaged in substantive discussions with them concerning the Proposal. The Board also was advised of its legal responsibilities and obligations by Fund counsel.

During the Board Meeting, the Board, including the Independent Directors, relied, in part, on information presented by ICMI and its affiliates in support of the May 2013 annual renewal of the Current Agreement in its consideration of the approval of the Amended Agreement. In connection with its evaluation of the Current Agreement and Amended Agreement, the Board considered the following factors:

Nature, Extent and Quality of Services. The Board considered the nature, extent and quality of the services provided by ICMI to the Funds and the resources of ICMI and its affiliates dedicated to the support of the Funds. In this regard, the Directors evaluated, among other things, ICMI’s personnel, experience, track record and compliance program. The Directors found the level of ICMI’s professional staff and culture of compliance satisfactory. Following evaluation, the Board concluded that, within the context of its full deliberations, the nature, extent and quality of services provided by ICMI to the Funds and the resources of ICMI and its affiliates dedicated to the Funds supported the approval of the Amended Agreement.

Fund Performance. The Board considered each Fund’s performance in determining whether to approve the Amended Agreement. Specifically, the Directors considered the Funds’ performance relative to their peer groups and appropriate indices/benchmarks, in light of total return, yield and market trends. As part of this review, the Directors considered the composition of each peer group and selection criteria. In evaluating performance, the Directors considered both market risk and shareholder risk expectations for the Funds. The Directors found Fund performance satisfactory. Following evaluation, the Board concluded that, within the context of its full deliberations, the performance of the Funds supported the approval of the Amended Agreement.

Fund Expenses. With respect to the Funds’ expenses, the Directors considered that the effect of the proposed modifications to the Funds’ advisory fee rate schedules would be to increase the amount of the advisory fees payable by the Funds to ICMI for the advisory services it provides to the Funds. The Directors were provided with and carefully considered the Funds’ current net operating expense ratios and projected net operating expenses assuming the approval of the Amended Agreement, both in comparison to those of other Comparable Funds. The Directors also considered information about

 

231


Table of Contents

average expense ratios of Comparable Funds. The Directors further considered the fact that the comparative advisory fee analysis showed that the proposed advisory fee rate payable by each Fund based on the Fund’s current net assets would be less than or equal to the average fee rates paid to managers that provide similar services to Comparable Funds. Following evaluation, the Board concluded that, within the context of its full deliberations, the proposed advisory fee schedules of the Funds are reasonable and supported the approval of the Amended Agreement.

Profitability. With regard to profitability, the Directors were presented with information about the Proposal’s effect, if approved, on ICMI’s profitability in connection with its management of the Funds. The Directors considered all compensation flowing to ICMI and its affiliates, directly and indirectly. The Directors also considered whether these varied levels of compensation and profitability under the Amended Agreement and other service agreements were reasonable and justified in light of the quality of all services to be rendered to the Funds by ICMI and its affiliates. The Directors found that expected profitability under the Amended Agreement was reasonable. Based on this evaluation, the Board concluded that, within the context of its full deliberations, the expected profitability of ICMI is reasonable and supported approval of the Amended Agreement.

Economies of Scale. The Directors considered that the purpose, in part, of the Amended Agreement would be to implement advisory fee rate breakpoints for Funds that currently are subject to a single set advisory fee rate and to revise the advisory fee rate schedules for those Funds that are currently subject to breakpoints to add additional breakpoints. The Directors were provided with and considered information about the hypothetical future asset growth of each Fund in light of the proposed advisory fee rate breakpoints. The Directors concluded that the proposed modifications to the Funds’ advisory fee rate schedules would promote the sharing of any economies of scale realized by the Funds as Fund assets grow. Based on this evaluation, the Board concluded that, within the context of its full deliberations, the Funds currently obtain reasonable benefits from economies of scale and that the Amended Agreement would facilitate the Funds’ ability to benefit from further economies of scale realized in the future.

Based on the Directors’ deliberation and their evaluation of the information described above, the Board, including all of the Independent Directors, unanimously approved the Amended Agreement. The Board concluded, in the exercise of its reasonable judgment that the proposed advisory fee rate schedules are fair and reasonable in relation to the services provided to each Fund and that approval of the Amended Agreement would be in the best interests of each Fund and its shareholders. In its deliberations, the Board did not identify any particular factor (or conclusion with respect thereto) or single piece of information that was all-important, controlling or determinative of its decision and each Director may have attributed different weights to the various factors (and conclusions with respect thereto) and information.
