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 of 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, despite a sharp pullback in May, recorded strong gains during the first half of 2019 while reaching record highs and ending with their best start to a year in over two decades. Inflation measures in the U.S. remained below the Federal Reserve’s (Fed) 2% target despite the record-long economic expansion and near record-low unemployment. Consumer spending increased after a slow start to the year with balance sheets strengthening. First quarter Gross Domestic Product (GDP) showed a better than expected 3.1 percent rate of growth as consumer sentiment remained elevated, supported by a strong employment environment. Amid the growing uncertainties surrounding the escalation in trade and tariff tensions, second quarter GDP growth slowed along with consumer confidence levels. From a sector perspective, Technology and Consumer Discretionary had the strongest returns whereas Health Care, Energy and Utilities experienced relatively weaker returns during the first half of the year. In this environment, the U.S. stock market, as measured by the Wilshire 5000 Equity Index, returned 18.66 percent during the six-month period ending June 30.

On a relative basis, mid capitalization stocks provided higher returns than small and large capitalization stocks during the six-month period. Mid capitalization stocks, as measured by the Russell Midcap Index, returned 21.35 percent, while small capitalization stocks, as measured by the Russell 2000 Index, returned 16.98 percent and large capitalization stocks, as measured by the Russell 1000 Index, returned 18.84 percent. From a style perspective, growth stocks outperformed value stocks in all market capitalizations, with the widest disparity being in the mid capitalization space. For instance, mid capitalization growth stocks, as measured by the Russell Midcap Growth Index, returned 26.08 percent while mid capitalization value stocks, as measured by the Russell Midcap Value Index, returned 18.02 percent. Much of the outperformance within growth stocks can be attributed to the strong performance of the Technology, Consumer Discretionary and Industrials sectors.

International markets, while registering strong positive returns, underperformed domestic equity markets during the first six months of the year with emerging market stocks posting a 10.58 percent return, as measured by the MSCI Emerging Markets Index, and developed international stocks returning 14.03 percent, as measured by the MSCI EAFE Index. Despite the fact that the Fed and European Central Bank (ECB) have signaled they would take measures to combat slowing economic growth and address the risks associated with ongoing trade tensions, political and geopolitical risks have increased.

Investment-grade fixed income securities and high yield bonds posted strong results during the six-month period with the Fed’s dovish stance supporting prices. Treasury yields moved lower in response to persistent low inflation and disappointing global economic conditions. The 10-Year Treasury yield closed the second quarter at 2.00 percent, the lowest level since the fall of 2016. Investment-grade bonds, as measured by the Bloomberg Barclays U.S. Aggregate Index, returned 6.11 percent and the Credit Suisse High Yield Bond Index returned a solid 9.95 percent. The Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) met several times during the first half of the year and dropped the word “patient” from their statement describing its policy. The Fed also confirmed market expectations for an interest rate cut during the July FOMC meeting by noting in their June post-meeting statement that they “will act as appropriate to sustain the expansion.”

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

Sincerely,

Limited Maturity Bond Fund

The Penn Series Limited Maturity Bond Fund returned 3.34% for the six-month period ending June 30, 2019, compared to 2.71% for its benchmark, the Bloomberg Barclays Capital U.S. Government/Credit 1-3 Year Index, for the same period.

The Fund finished in the top 40% among actively managed short duration fixed income funds as measured by Morningstar during the first six months of 2019.

Financial markets responded favorably to the Federal Reserve’s shift towards easier monetary policy. Fixed income spread sectors registered strong results despite a temporary setback in May when escalating U.S./China trade tensions weighed on valuations.

Short-term Treasury yields moved in response to persistent low inflation and weakening global growth prospects. Fixed income markets are pricing in multiple rate cuts by year-end with the first cut expected at the July Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) meeting.

We are remaining opportunistic with duration and yield curve management in light of the Fed’s recent U-turn in monetary policy and signs of weaker economic conditions outside of the United States. Strategy holdings remain diversified across corporate and structured securities with overweight positioning to securitized airline debt, highly rated collateralized loan obligations (CLOs) and floating-rate bank hybrid securities.

Quality Bond Fund

The Penn Series Quality Bond Fund returned 6.75% for the six-month period ending June 30, 2019, compared to 6.11% for its benchmark, the Bloomberg Barclays Capital U.S. Aggregate Bond Index for the same time period.

The Fund finished in the top quartile among actively managed intermediate duration core bond funds as measured by Morningstar during the first half of 2019.

Despite short-lived weakness in May as trade talks with China broke down, spread sectors outperformed strongly since year-end. Treasury yields moved lower during the period in response to weakening global growth and persistent low inflation. Strong demand from foreign investors facing growing amounts of negative yielding sovereign debt also boosted valuations. The 10-year Treasury yield closed June at 2.0%, the lowest monthly close since President Trump’s election victory in 2016.

The June Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) meeting confirmed the Federal Reserve’s dovish U-turn and will help extend the record-long economic expansion. Active duration and yield curve management will provide opportunities for outperformance as interest rate volatility remains elevated during this period of global economic and political uncertainty.

Fund performance during the first six months of 2019 benefitted from spread sector outperformance and yield curve positioning, while Treasury Inflation Protected securities (TIPs) underperformed. We are remaining opportunistic with sector allocations with recent focus on structured securities, which have lagged the rebound in corporate credit this year. High quality securitized products, including collateralized loan obligations (CLO) and multi-family property commercial mortgage-backed securities (CMBS), offer attractive relative value versus corporate credit.

High Yield Bond Fund

The Penn Series High Yield Bond Fund returned 10.33% for the six-month period ending June 30, 2019, compared to the 9.95% return for its benchmark, the CSFB High Yield Bond Index for the same time period.

The first half of 2019 was a very strong period for high yield credit and risk markets in general. Rebounding off a weak fourth quarter in 2018, the reversal in psychology was largely driven by an abrupt change in Federal Reserve posture with respect to its interest rate trajectory and its balance sheet holdings of Treasuries and mortgages. 10-year Treasury rates declined about 70 basis points during the first six months of the year in response, and about 120 basis points from mid-November. The other overhang in the market, the China/U.S. trade dispute, also eased as President Trump signaled progress and tariff hikes were put on hold. These factors led to a very strong rally across equities, emerging markets, and fixed income. The high yield market registered an approximate 10% gain in the first half, among the strongest start to a calendar year on record. Leveraged loans lagged high yield bonds by over 400 basis points as lower interest rate expectations caused outflows from the asset class.

The CSFB High Bond Yield Index returned 9.95% during the six months ending June 30, 2019, led by a 4.46% return in January alone. Performance was relatively even across credit quality although BB’s outperformed lower rated credit on a risk adjusted basis. During the period, the Fund outperformed its benchmark by 38 basis points due primarily to sector and security selection. New issuance finally re-emerged and presented opportunities to add credit during the second quarter.

Flexibly Managed Fund

The Penn Series Flexibly Managed Fund returned 17.35% for the six-month period ending June 30, 2019, compared to the 18.54% return of its benchmark, the S&P 500 Index for the same time period.

The portfolio posted a positive return for the six-month period ended June 30, 2019; and while it lagged its all-equity S&P 500 Index benchmark, it outperformed peers, ranking in the top decile of its Morningstar and Lipper peer groups, respectively. The portfolio’s equity holdings turned in a strong positive return during the period, outperforming its S&P 500 Index benchmark. The portfolio’s fixed income securities posted a positive return, outperforming its benchmark, the Bloomberg Barclays U.S. Aggregate Bond Index.

Stocks surged during the six-month period ended June 30, 2019, as the market rebounded from its late-December 2018 lows. Equities were lifted early in the period by fourth-quarter corporate earnings reports that were generally better than expected. Another tailwind during the period was that the Federal Reserve (Fed) turned dovish and stopped raising short-term interest rates. Expectations grew throughout the year-to-date period that the Fed would actually reduce short-term rates in response to slowing economic growth. Despite a sharp pullback in May stemming from increased trade tensions between the U.S. and some of its key trading partners, equities were buoyed late in the period by hopes that U.S. and China would draw closer to reaching a trade deal at the G-20 summit at the end of June.

Overall, we remain cautious on U.S. equity markets as we are concerned about full valuations late in the economic cycle, which could leave stocks particularly vulnerable to fading economic and earnings growth, as well as geopolitical risks. Our overall equity weight largely remained the same during the quarter. We purchased shares in the health care and materials sectors. We also sold holdings in the energy and financials sectors.

Our overall fixed income weight modestly increased compared with the beginning of the year. Our allocation to high yield increased, as we identified select issues that offer attractive return/risk characteristics even though credit spreads are relatively tight.

Within equities, the health care sector drove relative outperformance due to stock selection. Shares of Danaher benefited from news in February that it will buy GE’s biopharma business, which sells supplies and equipment

for developing and producing biologic drugs, for $21 billion. The industrials and business services sector also aided relative returns due to stock selection. Shares of Roper Technologies gained as the company benefited from a combination of solid revenue growth and new management’s decision to re-segment its businesses, which provides greater transparency for investors. Security selection in the communication services sector weighed on performance; however, an underweight position helped to more than offset the detraction. Shares of Alphabet sold off due to a deceleration in revenue that management attributed to changes to its search-advertising platform, as well as from news that the U.S. Department of Justice established jurisdiction over any potential antitrust investigations involving Alphabet, suggesting the likelihood of such an investigation is increasing. There were no sectors that detracted from relative performance during the six-month period.

Given the extended valuations and our position late in the current economic cycle, stocks are particularly vulnerable to fading growth and geopolitical and monetary policy risks. In the face of these headwinds, we continue to position the portfolio conservatively. Considering our cautious view, we remain focused on identifying high-quality businesses with strong fundamentals that we believe can deliver solid earnings and the potential for growth across a variety of market environments.

Balanced Fund

The Penn Series Balanced Fund returned 13.52% for the six-month period ending June 30, 2019, compared to its benchmarks, the S&P 500 Index’s return of 18.54% and the Bloomberg Barclays Capital U.S. Aggregate Bond Index’s return of 6.11% 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 six-month period. The Fund’s fixed income allocation outperformed the Bloomberg Barclays Capital U.S. Aggregate Bond Index for the same period.

The Penn Series Quality Bond Fund’s yield curve positioning and exposure in structured products contributed positively to the performance. High yield bonds performed well during the period.

Large Growth Stock Fund

The Penn Series Large Growth Stock Fund returned 20.15% for the six-month period ending June 30, 2019, compared to the 21.49% return for its benchmark, the Russell 1000 Growth Index for the same time period.

The portfolio delivered positive returns for the six months ended June 30, 2019; however, it underperformed the benchmark Russell 1000 Growth Index. Sector allocation was the primary driver of relative underperformance. Financials, health care, and materials were the leading detractors; while industrials and business services and consumer discretionary contributed to relative returns.

Major U.S. stock indexes ended the first half of 2019 near record highs, due in part to the Federal Reserve’s (Fed) more cautious monetary policy stance. Developments in the long-simmering trade dispute between the U.S. and China sparked market volatility throughout the period. Most notably, stocks dipped in May due to heightened trade tensions between the two countries. However, at period-end, investors appeared hopeful for at least a short-term trade truce amid continued negotiations, boosting equities. As measured by various Russell indexes, growth stocks surpassed value across all market capitalizations.

The financials sector was by far the largest relative detractor, due primarily to stock choices. Indications by the Fed of its willingness to cut rates, industry pricing pressure, and declining client cash balances as investors chase rising equity markets weighed on TD Ameritrade shares.

The portfolio’s overweight position in health care also weighed on relative performance.

Security selection in materials hindered relative returns, driven by shares of DuPont de Nemours.

Conversely, stock selection in industrials and business services contributed to relative performance. Broad organic revenue growth across segments, along with better-than-expected margin expansion and free cash flow generation, drove shares of Roper higher over the past six months.

Consumer discretionary also aided relative results, due to stock choices such as Ferrari and Dollarama. Shares of Dollarama gained after reporting better-than-expected topline growth, driven by an increase in average basket size and number of transactions. We believe Dollarama has a unique and durable business model with attractive margins and a solid runway for growth.

Positive economic growth, low inflation, and accommodative monetary policies are likely to support financial asset prices in the second half of 2019, although much depends on a resolution of the U.S.-China trade dispute. While the consensus earnings forecast is for a reacceleration in corporate earnings growth later in the year, this will depend on improving economic conditions, particularly outside the U.S. However, the global economic outlook remains subdued as most developed economies are growing below their potential and trade tensions are corroding business confidence and capital spending.

Large Cap Growth Fund

The Penn Series Large Cap Growth Fund returned 24.19% for the six-month period ending June 30, 2019, compared to the 21.49% return for its benchmark, the Russell 1000 Growth Index for the same time period.

Changes in market sentiment, driven largely by uncertainty over the outcome of trade negotiations between the U.S. and China, contributed to periodic bouts of volatility during the reporting period. The global economy decelerated throughout the period, led by weakness in China and Europe.

The deteriorating global growth backdrop, along with declining inflationary pressures, prompted the U.S. Federal Reserve (Fed) to adopt a more dovish policy stance during the first half of 2019, which resulted in a sharp decline in long-term interest rates during the period, inverting portions of the Treasury yield curve. Consequently, markets anticipate several Fed rate cuts in the coming quarters.

Globally, central banks have tilted more dovish as well, with China lowering reserve requirements, the Bank of Canada and Bank of England holding rates steady and the European Central Bank extending a low-interest-rate refinancing facility for eurozone banks to encourage the continued flow of credit and to hold out the possibility of further lowering rates and resuming asset purchases.

Emerging markets experienced considerable volatility during the period as tighter global financial conditions exposed structural weakness in some countries. Those pressures were somewhat relieved toward the end of the period as the Fed became more dovish. Diminished hopes for a trade deal between the U.S. and China weighed on sentiment at the end of the period. Idiosyncratic factors negatively impacted some emerging economies, such as Argentina and Turkey.

From a geopolitical perspective, a change in leadership in the United Kingdom, caused by a lack of consensus on the best path toward Brexit, a fractious Eurosceptic Italian coalition government and a weakening of Angela Merkel’s grip on the German chancellorship were sources of uncertainty in Europe. In emerging markets, new Brazilian president Jair Bolsonaro took office, with markets generally encouraged by his market-friendly agenda. In contrast, markets appeared to have been nervous about the less-market-friendly approach of Mexico’s new president Andrés Manuel López Obrador.

Stock selection in both the health care and consumer discretionary sectors contributed to performance relative to the Russell 1000 Growth Index during the reporting period. Within the health care sector, not holding shares of pharmaceutical company Abbvie and health insurance and Medicare/Medicaid provider UnitedHealth Group, an overweight position in precision instruments manufacturer Mettler-Toledo International and holding shares of healthcare equipment manufacturer Danaher, benefited relative results. Within the consumer discretionary sector, holding shares of luxury goods company LVMH (France) and sportswear and sports equipment manufacturer Adidas (Germany) also lifted relative returns.

Stocks in other sectors that further benefited relative returns included holding shares of global alternative asset manager Blackstone Group and overweight positions in credit rating agency Moody’s, risk management and human capital consulting services provider Aon and IT servicing firm Accenture.

Security selection and, to a lesser extent, an underweight position in the information technology sector was a primary factor detracting from relative performance during the reporting period. Within this sector, the Fund’s overweight position in IT consulting and technology services provider Cognizant Technology Solutions, underweight positions in computer and personal electronics maker Apple and software giant Microsoft and holding shares of semiconductor manufacturer Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing (Taiwan) weakened relative results.

Stock selection in the communication services sector also weighed on relative performance. Not holding shares of social media company Facebook and internet TV show and movie subscription services provider Netflix, as well as overweighting shares of technology company Alphabet, dampened relative returns. Elsewhere, not holding a position in internet retailer Amazon.com, and holding shares of household products manufacturer Reckitt Benckiser (United Kingdom) and international betting and gaming company Flutter Entertainment (Ireland), held back relative results.

Large Core Growth Fund

The Penn Series Large Core Growth Fund returned 27.27% for the six-month period ending June 30, 2019, compared to the 21.49% return for its benchmark, the Russell 1000 Growth Index for the same time period.

U.S. stocks appreciated strongly in the six-month period. The first half of 2019 saw sustained, albeit slower, expansion in the U.S. economy, dovish central bank rhetoric, generally better-than-expected corporate earnings and ongoing geopolitical uncertainty. Fitful trade negotiations between the U.S. and China had yet to yield a deal. But, following a period of escalating tensions, the two sides agreed to withhold further tariff increases for the time being. Stock prices rallied sharply at the end of the period as markets grew more convinced that the U.S. Federal Reserve would enact monetary easing to offset the economy’s loss of momentum.

Within the Russell 1000 Growth Index, all but one sector posted double-digit returns in the period, led by the information technology sector. The health care sector had the smallest gain.

The long-term investment horizon and conviction-weighted investment approach embraced by the team since 1998 can result in periods of performance deviation from the benchmark and peers. The Fund outperformed the Index this reporting period due to favorable stock selection, while sector allocation had a small negative impact on relative performance.

Our stock selection in the consumer discretionary sector contributed the most to relative outperformance. Both stock selection and, to a lesser extent, an underweight allocation in the health care sector added value. Our selections in information technology and industrials stocks also outperformed, although an underweight to the former sector and an overweight to the latter sector tempered the relative gains. Stock selection in the communication services sector detracted, but the Fund’s overweight allocation in the sector was beneficial and partially offset the relative drag.

Our team continues to focus on bottom-up stock selection and the long-term outlook for companies owned in the portfolio; accordingly, we have had very little turnover in the portfolio to date, as our ongoing work reaffirms our assessment of quality and competitive advantage in the names we own. At the end of the period, the Fund’s largest sector weights were in information technology, communication services and consumer discretionary. The

Fund had no exposure to the energy and real estate sectors. Neither the Fund nor the Index have exposure to the utilities sector.

Large Cap Value Fund

The Penn Series Large Cap Value Fund returned 13.96% for the six-month period ending June 30, 2019, compared to the 16.24% return for its benchmark, the Russell 1000 Value Index for the same time period.

U.S. equities recorded impressive gains during the six-month period ended June 30, 2019. Although volatility continued to plague markets, as concerns over trade tensions and a slowing global economy persisted, investors and the markets were buoyed when the U.S. Federal Reserve (Fed) retreated from its plans for future rate increases. Investors continued to ride an emotional rollercoaster however, as U.S.-China trade talks continued and rhetoric regarding escalating tariffs increased. Investors were assuaged by comments from Fed Chair Jerome Powell, who held out the possibility of a rate cut should the economic outlook worsen. In the U.S. growth stocks slightly outperformed value stocks and large-cap companies outperformed small-cap names.

For the six-month period ending June 30, 2019, the portfolio rose in absolute terms but underperformed its benchmark, the Russell 1000 Value Index. Stock selection in healthcare detracted, while selection in consumer discretionary contributed. The portfolio’s cash balance detracted, while an overweight to industrials contributed.

Healthcare provider Cigna detracted on concerns around the future profitability of its recently acquired Express Scripts pharmacy benefit management (PBM) business. Biotechnology company Biogen detracted after announcing that Phase 3 trials for its Alzheimer’s treatment would be discontinued. Shares of retail pharmacy chain Walgreens Boots Alliance detracted amid concerns over the impact of prescription drug price transparency and price pressure associated with retail pharmacies.

Shares of homebuilder D.R. Horton contributed in the period amid improved sentiment on housing, as the 10-year rate rallied significantly. Altra Industrial Motion, which manufactures power transmission and motion control products used in a variety of industrial applications, contributed on stronger-than-expected financial results. Celgene, a pharmaceutical company which develops drugs and treatments for cancer and inflammatory diseases, contributed after Bristol-Myers Squibb announced its intention to acquire it.

The boost from last year’s tax cuts has largely dissipated, but incoming data continue to support a generally healthy

U.S. economy. However, the ongoing trade conflict between the U.S. and China, with threat of conflict between the U.S. and other trading partners, such as Mexico, has generated significant uncertainty, which may contribute to capital expenditure deferment, lower consumer confidence and, ultimately, a slowing economy. The drop in long-term interest rates and yield-curve inversion signal caution. After a decade of solid equity market performance, and amid signs of slowing global economic growth, the market has been eyeing the trade conflict warily, with an expectation that the Fed will cut the fed funds rate this year. Late cycle, the equity markets will remain sensitive to any new developments in the Fed’s economic outlook and management of the economic cycle, the ongoing global trade disputes and the U.S. political landscape approaching the 2020 U.S. elections. We do not forecast but evaluate. At the company level, we are always watching for signs of demand changing precipitately. In terms of late-cycle dynamics, we rigorously evaluate companies’ abilities to manage cost pressures such as labor. We seek to own attractively valued companies that are good businesses and exhibit signs of improving success. Our portfolio’s holdings have attractive fundamentals that are consistent with our philosophy — high free-cash-flow yields, low earnings variability and low leverage. These well-managed companies deploy capital wisely, allowing them to grow dividends and enhance the long-term value of their shares.

Large Core Value Fund

The Penn Series Large Core Value Fund returned 19.07% for the six-month period ending June 30, 2019, compared to the 16.24% return for its benchmark, the Russell 1000 Value Index for the same time period.

The Fund’s outperformance versus the Index was driven by strong stock selection results, while sector allocation results were modestly additive during the period. All 11 broad economic sectors posted double-digit gains during the period, with the strongest performance coming from the industrials, information technology, and real estate sectors.

Following a challenged end to calendar year 2018, where stocks broadly registered double-digit losses during the fourth quarter 2018, stocks rebounded in the first half of 2019, most notably during the first quarter 2019, producing double-digit gains over the six-month period.

The U.S. Federal Reserve Bank (Fed) played a key role in stocks’ advance during the period. Equities moved sharply higher after Fed Chairman Jerome Powell in January signaled a slower pace for interest rate hikes, a sharp departure from the Fed’s previous multi-year program of gradual rate increases. At its March meeting, the Fed left interest rates unchanged and predicted no rate increases for the rest of 2019, which was well-received by investors. The Fed held interest rates steady in the second quarter despite pressure from the Trump administration for a rate cut, but the Fed held out the possibility of lower rates if economic indicators weaken further.

Key economic indicators were mixed during the period. While the nation’s unemployment rate remained at multi-year lows, job creation decelerated sharply in May. Other indicators such as auto sales, construction spending and manufacturing also weakened in the period. Ongoing uncertainty related to Brexit and U.S. trade tensions with China were present throughout the period.

The broader S&P 500 Index rose 18.54% during the period. Overseas, the MSCI EAFE Index of mostly European stocks returned 14.03%, while the MSCI Emerging Markets Index advanced 10.58%. Large-cap stocks generally outperformed their small-cap counterparts in the period. In terms of investing style in the large-cap equity space, growth stocks topped value stocks.

Index 500 Fund

The Penn Series Index 500 Fund returned 18.39% for the six-month period ending June 30, 2019, compared to the 18.54% return for its benchmark, the S&P 500 Index for the same time period.

The investment objective of the Penn Series Index 500 Fund, is to seek a total return which correspond to that of the S&P 500 Index. The Fund’s benchmark index is the S&P 500 Index.

The Fund and Index returns reflect the reinvestment of dividends and other income. The Fund’s performance reflects the expenses of managing the Fund, including brokerage and advisory expenses. The Index is unmanaged and Index returns do not reflect fees and expenses of any kind, which would have a negative impact on returns.

For the first quarter of 2019, the prospect of easing monetary conditions helped the Index to finish the quarter with a gain of 13.5%. All S&P 500 equity sectors delivered firmly positive gains. Five sectors posted returns in excess of 15% and the only sectors that failed to capture double digit advances were financials (+8.4%) and health care (+6.5%). April marked another solid month for growth assets as investor’s embraced optimism about trade policy between the United States and China, and earnings results continued to outpace analyst estimates. The Index closed the month at a new all-time high. In the month of May, the Federal Reserve (Fed) pushed back on market expectations for interest rate cuts by suggesting that recent low levels of inflation were likely transitory. From there, trade conflict between the United States and the rest of the world took center stage; battering equity markets while flattering bonds. In June, liquidity-driven returned to market and Index reached its all-time high.

The Fund used Futures in order to gain market exposure for the cash position during the reporting period. The Fund’s use of futures detracted 0.3 basis points from Fund performance relative to the Index.

On an individual security level, the top positive contributors to the Fund’s performance during the reporting period were Microsoft Corporation, Apple Inc. and Amazon.com, Inc. The top negative contributors to the Fund’s performance during the reporting period were AbbVie, Inc., CVS Health Corporation and Cigna Corporation.

Mid Cap Growth Fund

The Penn Series Mid Cap Growth Fund returned 27.04% for the six-month period ending June 30, 2019, compared to the 26.08% return for its benchmark, the Russell Midcap Growth Index for the same time period.

Mid-cap growth stocks as measured by the Russell Midcap Growth Index enjoyed the strongest returns across the domestic equity spectrum. As the market rebounded from the selloff late last year, all sectors within the benchmark posted positive double-digit returns. Information technology, financials, real estate and industrials were the top performing sectors as consumer staples and energy were the biggest laggards.

For the reporting period, the Fund had a positive double-digit return, outperforming its benchmark. Stock selection was particularly strong during the period, providing relative outperformance in the consumer discretionary and industrials sectors.

Consumer discretionary was a significant overweight in the Fund and the sector benefitted from solid stock selection. Chipotle Mexican Grill posted strong sales performance as its management’s initiatives in the e-commerce area take hold. MercadoLibre, Inc. was another particularly strong performer, as the Latin American focused e-commerce company is demonstrating strong growth after emerging from a significant corporate investment period. Ulta Beauty Inc. also posted positive results with strong same store sales growth and margin expansion in the uber-competitive retail space.

The Fund’s industrials exposure was a slight overweight that benefitted from several names, including CoStar Group, Inc. CoStar Group is the leading provider of real estate data, analytics and marketplace listing platforms, including Apartments.com. It has a defensible franchise of mainly subscription-based revenue that continues to grow with solid management execution. During this time period, the company surprised to the upside as well as refreshed five-year guidance to a stronger level. Recent online traffic trends for Apartments.com and ForRent.com indicated robust growth over the past 12 months, far outpacing that of competitors.

Information technology was underweight the benchmark during this time period. While the allocation affect was a slight negative, stock selection more than offset the underweight drag of the sector on the portfolio.

One area of relative weakness came from the health care sector, where the stocks in the portfolio were not able to keep pace with those in the benchmark, especially within the biotechnology and health care equipment and supplies industries. One of the disappointing performers included Abiomed, Inc. Abiomed is a provider of medical devices that provide circulatory support to assist or replace the pumping function of a failing heart. The stock faltered during this period based on news that a FDA letter raised concerns about forward utilization. Also there were concerns over potential competition. We recognize these issues but still believe that the company has a long runway for growth.

Cash was minimal during the period but holding any cash in such a strong up market caused a drag on overall performance.

While the Fund’s portfolio represents an economically constructive point of view, our approach is essentially balanced based on stock selection as opposed to overt sector allocations. The portfolio continues to express a more economically constructive and optimistic view, with a more assertive pro-growth, less defensive stance. The Fund remains overweight in the consumer discretionary, health care and industrials sectors. We are underweight in the information technology sector but still have a healthy exposure. We are also underweight in the financials sector. We have no exposure to the real estate and energy sectors, which represent a combined 3.6% of the benchmark.

The top three securities contributing to the Fund’s relative performance for the reporting period were MercadoLibre, Inc., Chipotle Mexican Grill and CoStar Group, Inc. The top three securities detracting from the Fund’s relative performance for the reporting period were Sprouts Farmers Markets, Abiomed, Inc. and CME Group, Inc.

Mid Cap Value Fund

The Penn Series Mid Cap Value Fund returned 13.85% for the six-month period ending June 30, 2019, compared to the 18.02% return for its benchmark, the Russell Midcap Value Index for the same time period.

Despite a strong first quarter where the Penn Series Mid Cap Value Fund outperformed its benchmark, the Russell Midcap Value Index, due to a meaningful lag in the second quarter, the Fund now trails the Index for the first half of the year.

Value investing has trailed growth investing for over ten years. Our emphasis on out-of-favor contrarian investments selling at material discounts to our estimates of intrinsic value has been particularly hard hit. Valuation of the portfolio and individual stock positions remain attractive, in our view, on a discount to intrinsic value, price to earnings and a cash flow basis, albeit in an investment environment where cheap valuations are passed over. Rather, companies possessing growth and momentum factors are bid up indiscriminately, while traditional value characteristics such as cash flow generation are ignored. Additionally, companies that are already selling at deeply depressed valuation levels can be severally punished in the market when reporting disappointing news, such as, missing short term quarterly earnings forecasts.

After a strong start to the year in the first quarter where many of our holdings bounced back from overly depressed levels, the second quarter’s underperformance was due to some stock specific issues where the market punished any incremental negative news, regardless of valuation levels. The top performers during the period all reacted positively to better than expected earnings reports and in most cases continued their bounce back from overly depressed levels experienced at the end of 2018. Additionally, Johnson Controls completed the sale of its Power Solutions business and repurchased over $4 billion of its stock in a tender offer. On the negative side, Teradata missed earnings expectations; Chemours issued weak guidance for its TiO2 business and concerns about potential environmental liabilities resurfaced; Conduent also issued poor earnings guidance and the CEO unexpectedly resigned; Teva Pharmaceutical’s stock was decimated by renewed focus on price fixing lawsuits and opioid litigation; TreeHouse Foods lowered guidance due to underperformance in the snack business.

While performance was mostly impacted by individual stock selection during the period, on a sector basis, our

overweight to the Index in the Industrials sector helped relative performance, while our underweight in the interest sensitive sectors, Financials and Utilities, detracted from relative performance. Our overweight in the Energy sector also hurt relative performance as oil and gas prices came under pressure.

During the first half of the year, we initiated three new positions and added to seven positions that came under selling pressure, but where we believe the investment thesis is still intact. On the sell side, we eliminated our positions in five companies which either approached our intrinsic value estimate or where our investment thesis changed, and trimmed two positons after they appreciated significantly during the period.

The divergence between bond and equity markets continued during the second quarter. In the bond market, the 10-year Treasury yield has dropped to around 2% and the yield curve has inverted from time to time, which we believe are suggestive of slowing or possibly declining economic growth ahead. Equity markets tend to underperform after yield curve inversions. On the other hand, equity markets have approached new highs, and we believe this performance suggests a soft landing for the economy, fueled by interest rate declines and accommodative monetary policy from the Federal Reserve (Fed). If the Fed is successful in reinvigorating the economy, we believe equity markets should respond positively. Against this economic backdrop, value investing remains out of style and the valuation of our portfolio looks attractive, in our view. Finally, investors should keep an eye on the 2020 presidential election, which is around the corner and, in our opinion, has the potential to significantly impact equity markets.

Mid Core Value Fund

The Penn Series Mid Core Value Fund returned 17.21% for the six-month period ending June 30, 2019, compared to the 18.02% return for its benchmark, the Russell Midcap Value Index for the same time period.

Broad U.S. equity market indices rallied, rebounding from a decline in the fourth quarter. Optimism surrounding U.S.-China trade negotiations and prospects for a possible Fed rate cut before year-end helped fuel market gains. According to the FTSE Russell indices, growth stocks outperformed value stocks across the market-cap spectrum. Mid-cap stocks outperformed large- and small-cap stocks over the period. Security selection in the financials sector negatively impacted relative returns. State Street, a top detractor, was pressured by a decline in interest rates. Stock selection in industrials also detracted. Global equipment distributor MSC Industrial Direct was a notable detractor. Stock selection in the consumer staples sector was beneficial to relative returns. Holdings in food products and food and staples retailing aided relative performance.

MSC Industrial Direct stock declined in the second quarter after the company reported disappointing organic growth and guided next quarter below expectations as demand for its industrial products continued to decelerate. We believe the company’s strong balance sheet and healthy dividend limit the stock’s downside relative to the wider industrials universe. Lower interest rates pressured financial services company State Street. The company guided revenues lower for its second quarter and the rest of 2019 due to reduced net interest income and lower asset servicing fees. At a conference in June, State Street further reduced its revenue expectations. Lack of exposure to Worldpay, a payment services company, detracted from relative performance. Worldpay’s stock rose on news that it plans to merge with Fidelity National Information Services. The company also reported better-than-expected quarterly earnings and revenues. Worldpay does not meet our quality or valuation criteria.

Execution by Hubbell, a higher-quality industrials company, was solid with continued margin expansion in its electrical division. We believe further margin upside is supported by improving price/cost dynamics, stronger demand through Hubbell’s Aclara Technologies acquisition and cost savings from restructuring initiatives. The stock of Anadarko Petroleum, a global exploration and production company, rose after Chevron agreed to acquire Anadarko at a premium. The stock appreciated further after Occidental

Petroleum made two higher offers to acquire Anadarko. We eliminated our position in Anadarko due to the stock’s appreciation. Johnson Controls International, a building products company, reported strong quarterly organic revenue and earnings growth, along with continued order growth and profit margin improvement. Investor sentiment was also lifted as the company made progress toward the sale of its capital-intensive Power Solutions business.

The portfolio seeks to invest in companies where we believe the valuation does not reflect the quality and normal earnings power of the company. Our process is based on individual security selection, but broad themes have emerged. Our analysis has led us to attractive companies within the fragmented industrials sector. The portfolio is overweight industrials, but we have avoided names in the sector that we believe are lower quality. The portfolio remains overweight in financials. Using our bottom-up investment approach, we have identified stocks that we believe offer attractive risk/reward profiles, particularly in the capital markets and banking industries. As bottom-up investors, we generally find securities in the communication services sector to have relatively volatile business models and more leveraged balance sheets. Additionally, our metrics show that valuations throughout the sector are not attractive. Our analysis shows that most real estate stocks remain expensive relative to their historical valuation and to other areas of the equity market. We have only identified a few higher-quality real estate stocks with compelling valuations, including Weyerhaeuser, a timber REIT, and MGM Growth Properties, a REIT that invests in destination entertainment and leisure resorts.

SMID Cap Growth Fund

The Penn Series SMID Cap Growth Fund returned 28.32% for the six-month period ending June 30, 2019, compared to the 23.92% return for its benchmark, the Russell 2500 Growth Index for the same time period.

During the first half of 2019, the GSAM US SMID Cap Growth Fund outperformed the Russell 2500 Growth Index (gross). Stock selection in the Health Care and Information Technology sectors contributed to returns, while stock selection in the Financials sector detracted from performance. There were no other detracting sectors.

In the first quarter, commercial gene therapy firm Spark Therapeutics was a top contributor to returns. Its shares spiked late in February after news broke that Swiss drug maker Roche Holding AG had agreed to acquire Spark for roughly $115 per share, representing a total equity value of roughly $5 billion. Given that Spark Therapeutics had a market value of just under $2 billion at the prior session’s close, its stock price more than doubled upon the announcement. With this in mind, we felt that the valuation for the company became less attractive and were pleased to sell out of our position and allocate the gains to more appealing risk/reward opportunities. Amalgamated Bank, a regional commercial banking firm which serves union and socially responsible organizations, was a top detractor from returns during the first quarter. The company reported fourth quarter 2018 results in late January 2019, in which revenue beat expectations. However, the market was focused on the earnings per share figure that came in below consensus. Its shares continued to fall later in the quarter along with other rate-sensitive stocks in response to dialogue from the Federal Reserve Board (Fed) implying a lower rate environment, a negative for lenders. However, regarding the fourth quarter results, we recognize that minor one-time adjustments adversely impacted the company’s earnings, so we were not overly concerned about profitability going forward. More generally, we are optimistic about recent measures the bank has taken to bolster its financial future, such as de-risking its balance sheet and establishing a healthy deposit pipeline.

Total Systems Services, Inc. was a top contributor to returns in the second quarter. Shares of the company spiked late in May following a report that the company and Global Payments were in discussions around a potential acquisition. The reports were later confirmed when Global Payments announced it was seeking to acquire Total

Systems Services for roughly a 20% premium. We were encouraged by this news, as our initial investment thesis was centered on the company’s compelling valuation and favorable long-term fundamentals in a consolidating industry. We decided to realize gains and reallocate capital to other high-quality growth companies. Biopharmaceutical company, Alkermes PLC. was a top detractor from returns in the second quarter. The market responded negatively to start the quarter when former President and Chief Operating Officer, Jim Robinson, announced his resignation. Although first quarter revenue was promising, below-expectation earnings per share brought the stock down further. Returns have stabilized recently with releases of efficacy data for existing products and advancements in the development of new products. Thus, despite the short-term turbulence, we remain confident in Alkermes’ deep and diverse pipeline of drugs. We continue to believe that this pipeline, along with the company’s existing commercial business, provide a strong runway for growth at an attractive valuation.

After a very positive start to 2019, we continue to view equities as the most favorable asset class, offering reasonable valuations relative to solid macro and corporate fundamentals. After a significant repricing of assets and market expectations in the fourth quarter of 2018, the market rebounded with a strong first half, despite geopolitical tensions and trade relations oscillating between positive and negative developments. Equities were buoyed by declining 10-year Treasury yields as investors expected potential rate cuts, a shift from the Fed’s tightening at this point last year. While we are encouraged by the strong start to the year, we expect to see more signals of an aging cycle moving forward, which may be challenging to navigate and require more selectivity by investors. Yet without clearer indications of deteriorating fundamentals, we think it is too early to position for a downturn in global growth or corporate earnings. For the remainder of 2019, we expect choppier conditions. Within this more volatile backdrop, we believe a thorough understanding of both market and company specific variables will be crucial to navigating the evolving landscape. With that said, our investment philosophy will not change based on short term fluctuations in markets. We plan to maintain our focus on high-quality companies with strong market positions and experienced management teams. In our opinion, emphasizing these durable businesses can potentially set up portfolios to outperform amidst heightened volatility.

SMID Cap Value Fund

The Penn Series SMID Cap Value Fund returned 13.94% for the six-month period ending June 30, 2019, compared to the 15.26% return for its benchmark, the Russell 2500 Value Index for the same time period.

U.S. equities recorded impressive gains during the six-month period ended June 30, 2019. Although volatility continued to plague markets, as concerns over trade tensions and a slowing Chinese economy persisted, investors and the markets were buoyed when the U.S. Federal Reserve (Fed) retreated from its plans for future rate increases. Investors continued to ride an emotional rollercoaster however, as U.S.-China trade talks continued and rhetoric regarding trade tariffs increased. Investors were assuaged by comments from Fed Chair Jerome Powell, who held out the possibility of a rate cut should the economic outlook worsen. In the U.S. growth stocks slightly outperformed value stocks and large-cap companies outperformed small-cap names.

For the six-month period ending June 30, 2019, the portfolio rose in absolute terms but underperformed its benchmark, the Russell 2500 Value Index, which rose 15.3%. Stock selection in industrials detracted, while selection in utilities contributed. An overweight to consumer staples detracted, while an overweight to technology contributed.

Signet Jewelers detracted, despite reporting better-than-expected fiscal fourth-quarter revenues and earnings, as it provided a weak outlook for fiscal first quarter performance. Commvault Systems, a data protection and information management software company, detracted after reporting disappointing first quarter revenues. Cooper Standard, an automotive parts supplier, also detracted after reporting disappointing fourth quarter earnings and 2019 guidance.

Cypress Semiconductor contributed after reporting better-than-expected earnings guidance and positive commentary on order and revenue patterns. Cypress also announced that it agreed to be acquired by fellow semiconductor producer Infineon Technologies. Sotheby’s, a leading global art auction house, outperformed after the company agreed to be acquired at a significant premium in an all-cash deal. NCR, a global leader in bank ATMs and self-checkout solutions for retail and hospitality solutions, contributed. The company reported earnings that were better than analyst expectations. Additionally, the company was rumored to be exploring a sale, which further boosted the stock.

Moving into the second half of 2019, value stocks continue to face significant headwinds, with investor appetite for the value style at historic lows. The reasons for this are many but can be broadly summarized by two things: anxiety related to the outlook for corporate profits and the valuation implications of historically low interest rates. We share investor anxiety about the fragility of the economy. Volatility in Fed policy and the trade war with China have created concerning cracks in the U.S. economy. Investors have dramatically bid up the price of assets that they perceive to be insulated from these risks. Growth stocks and stocks with lower volatility have been significant beneficiaries. Further, because investors have used blunt tools such as ETFs to reposition their portfolios, they run the risk of missing out on a broad pool of companies that are attractive even under more dire scenarios. Simply put, not all cyclical companies, nor all value stocks, will deliver the same profit growth over the coming cycle. Indeed, many will thrive, as the benefits of their strong free cash flow, solid balance sheets and attractive competitive positions help them create value amidst this storm of uncertainty. To be clear, we are not suggesting that the market’s fears are misplaced entirely. Many more of these companies will succumb to the pressures of a slowdown in economic growth. For active investors like us, this disconnect creates a compelling opportunity set of companies. Choice will remain critical. Our portfolio already combines attractive valuations with considerable quality attributes such as high profitability and strong balance sheets. In an environment that is hostile to value stocks, we will continue to use our bottom-up fundamental research to opportunistically improve our portfolio.

Small Cap Growth Fund

The Penn Series Small Cap Growth Fund returned 24.89% for the six-month period ending June 30, 2019, compared to the 20.36% return for its benchmark, the Russell 2000 Growth Index for the same time period.

Stocks rebounded in the first quarter after the Federal Reserve indicated it would take a cautious approach to raising interest rates while inflation remained low. Increasing hopes that the U.S. and China were making progress toward a trade deal also supported stocks in the first quarter. In the second quarter stocks were volatile. Equities lost ground in May as setbacks in U.S.-China trade negotiations raised fears that trade tensions will further dent global economic growth. Economic data also pointed to a weakening global economy during the period. Stocks then rebounded in June, driven in part by expectations of more accommodative monetary policy from central banks.

The Portfolio outperformed its benchmark, the Russell 2000 Growth Index. Stock selection in the technology and financial sectors contributed to relative performance. A modest cash position and stock selection in the communication services sector detracted from relative results.

Catalent was our largest contributor on an absolute basis. Stock of the outsourced pharmaceutical manufacturer was down in the fourth quarter in part because the industry experienced a shortage of ibuprofen. The stock rebounded as Catalent sourced an alternative supplier of ibuprofen to resolve the shortage issue. In addition, Catalent reported another strong quarter in its biologics business, which is a key driver of current and future growth. We continue to like Catalent and believe it represents a less-risky way to invest in the innovation taking place in the biotechnology and pharmaceutical industries; Catalent benefits from overall industry innovation due to increasing volumes and more advanced dosage forms, but due to significant diversification, the company is not overly impacted if a clinical trial for a particular drug fails. We also like that its earnings streams are relatively insulated once a drug gains FDA approval: biotech and pharmaceutical companies don’t often change manufacturing partners because it requires bringing the drug back through the FDA approval process.

HEICO was another large contributor. The company beat earnings expectations this quarter, and also raised earnings guidance for 2019. The stock has been a top contributor to the portfolio’s performance over the last

three years, and has been discussed in many previous commentaries. Our view on the company remains the same. We continue to like HEICO’s aftermarket business, which provides a resilient, recurring revenue stream for the company. We also believe the technical expertise required to make its mission-critical parts, as well as the FAA approval process required for each part, present a high barrier to entry for would-be competitors.

Diplomat Pharmacy was a large detractor. Diplomat’s stock was down after the company announced it would need to record an impairment charge related to acquisitions it made for its pharmacy benefits management business. We were concerned about the impairment and other executional issues from the company, and sold the stock during the quarter.

Health Care Services Group was another detractor. The company manages and operates housekeeping, laundry, linen and food services for the nursing home and hospital industries. We like the recurring revenue associated with the business, and that the company operates with relatively little competition. We also see potential for the company to expand margins as its food services business grows.

Small Cap Value Fund

The Penn Series Small Cap Value Fund returned 15.96% for the six-month period ending June 30, 2019, compared to the 13.47% return for its benchmark, the Russell 2000 Value Index for the same time period.

During the first half of 2019, the GSAM U.S. Small Cap Value composite generated a positive absolute return and outperformed the Russell 2000 Value Index (gross). In the portfolio for the six-month period, stock selection in Industrials and Consumer Discretionary contributed to performance, whereas our investments in Real Estate and Energy detracted from results.

During the first quarter, Apergy Corp., a company that produces specialized polycrystalline diamond cutters and offers services to optimize oil well flows, was a top contributor to returns. In mid-February, the company reported better-than-expected fourth quarter earnings with earnings-per-share that modestly exceeded expectations, coupled with solid free cash flow. The company was very resilient despite weaker commodity prices and management has provided a positive outlook for 2019, accomplished through topline growth and lower leverage. In efforts to lower leverage and increase the quality of its balance sheet, the company continues to pay down debt, as it had in the second half of 2018. In our view, Apergy Corp. is well positioned for long-term growth and sustainably high free cash flow, given increased U.S. oil production and the company’s competitive offerings. In contrast to a very stable 2018 calendar year, Burlington Stores, Inc., a major off-price clothing retailer in the U.S., was a top detractor in the quarter. The company reported weaker-than-expected fourth quarter earnings in early March, with weaker sales from a combination of a fashion shortfall within their Ladies Heritage business and timing issues of inventory. Subsequently, management provided softer guidance for the first quarter due to less clarity of consumer spending per tax refunds and a later Easter season. Despite slower sales and an inventory build-up, we believe that the off-price model is resilient to fashion misses and macro lulls with a quicker-than-average inventory turnover. We favor the off-price model and believe that Burlington Stores could continue to grow the topline through high store productivity.

During the second quarter, Kinsale Capital Group, Inc., a specialty insurance group focused on excess and surplus (E&S) lines, was a top contributor to returns during the quarter. In early May, the company reported first quarter earnings results well above expectations, bolstered by

top-line growth in nearly every line of business, along with favorable reserve development. Overall, we believe the company’s low-cost, technology-enhanced underwriting model, combined with an improving pricing environment for E&S lines, should continue to support profitable growth for the company. CommVault Systems, Inc., a data software company that provides the government with data protection services, was a top detractor from returns. In late April the stock dropped following the release of first quarter earnings that indicated a mixed quarter, with deal issues and challenged channel execution. Subsequently, management revised down full year guidance, expecting improvement in the back half of next year. We have confidence that the new Chief Executive Officer and Chief Revenue Officer, both appointed this calendar year, could correct mid-market execution issues and simplify the sales organization to better monetize their products. In our view, the stock is under-earning its potential, with a sizeable market opportunity given the growing demand for cloud data.

After a positive start to 2019 for U.S. equity markets, we continue to believe that the expansion will continue, given a stable underlying economy and steady corporate earnings. Although some data has softened in the last couple of months, we do not believe there are substantial enough signals to indicate a deteriorating cycle. As fundamentals remain intact and margins have yet to peak, we believe that U.S. equities still provide a favorable risk-reward profile. As we progress in the cycle, we acknowledge that there could be a more volatile environment with variables including ongoing trade negotiations and policy decisions of the Federal Reserve. With that in mind, fundamentals and earnings growth may play more of a role in determining equity returns, reinforcing the importance of applying our rigorous analytical framework to understanding company specific variables, which, we believe, is favorable to an active approach.

Regardless of the market direction, our fundamental, bottom-up stock selection continues to drive our process, rather than headlines or sentiment. We maintain high conviction in the companies that we own and believe they have the potential to outperform relative to the broader market regardless of the growth environment. We continue to focus on undervalued companies that we believe are in control of their own future, such as innovators with differentiated products, companies with low-cost structures, or ones that have been investing in their own businesses and are poised to gain market share.

Small Cap Index Fund

The Penn Series Small Cap Index Fund returned 16.53% for the six-month period ending June 30, 2019, compared to the 16.98% return for its benchmark, the Russell 2000 Index for the same time period.

The investment objective of the Penn Series Small Cap Index Fund is to seek to replicate the returns and characteristics of a small cap index. The Fund’s benchmark index is the Russell 2000 Index.

The Fund and Index returns reflect the reinvestment of dividends and other income. The Fund’s performance reflects the expenses of managing the Fund, including brokerage and advisory expenses. The Index is unmanaged and Index returns do not reflect fees and expenses of any kind, which would have a negative impact on returns. Small security misweights, cash drag, futures exposure, transaction cost, and compounding contributed to the difference between the Fund’s performance and that of the Index.

Early in first quarter of 2019, U.S. stocks were held back by some weaker economic data, including the widest trade deficit since the global financial crisis, a disappointing February payrolls report (only 20,000 jobs added) and weak export data out of China. That setback would prove temporary, as economic data rebounded to some extent and the Federal Reserve surprised markets again at their March 19-20 FOMC meeting. Later on in Q1, the prospect of more accommodative monetary conditions allowed small-cap companies rebounded vigorously during the first quarter, with the Index (comprising small-cap companies) increasing by 14.6%. Forward progress across U.S. equities was relatively uninterrupted early on in the second quarter. U.S. stocks shook off a relatively weak February retail sales report as investors were encouraged by upward revisions to earlier spending data and stronger-than-expected spending for construction projects. Other factors that helped to bolster sentiment included apparent progress and favorable communications related to trade negotiations between the United States and China, as well as developments that further reinforced the idea that the Federal Reserve will be on hold for some time to come. However, the onslaught of heightened trade uncertainty and the imposition of additional tariffs between the United States and China quickly caused U.S. equity markets to turn with small cap shares shifting more violently to the downside. For the quarter, the Index lagged behind the S&P 500 Index by 2.2%.

The Fund used Futures in order to gain market exposure for the cash position. The use of futures didn’t impact tracking over the reporting period. On an individual security level, the top positive contributors to the Fund’s performance during the reporting period were Array BioPharma Inc., Trade Desk, Inc. Class A and Cousins Properties Incorporated. The top negative contributors to the Fund’s performance during the reporting period were Churchill Downs Incorporated, First Financial Bankshares Inc and Stamps.com Inc.

Developed International Index Fund

The Penn Series Developed International Index Fund returned 13.67% for the six-month period ending June 30, 2019, compared to the 14.03% return for its benchmark, the MSCI EAFE Index for the same time period.

The investment objective of the Developed International Index Fund, is to seek to replicate the returns and characteristics of an international index composed of securities from developed countries. The Fund’s benchmark index is the MSCI EAFE Index.

The Fund and Index returns reflect the reinvestment of dividends and other income. The Fund’s performance does not reflect the expenses of managing the Fund, including brokerage and advisory expenses. The Index is unmanaged and Index returns do not reflect fees and expenses of any kind, which would have a negative impact on returns.

The fund outperformed by +17bps (gross) is mainly attributable to the impact of withholding tax (+10.6bps), cash drag (+4bp), compounding (+1.3bp). Whereas futures and security misweights contributed +1.2bps to relative performance.

The Fund used Futures in order to gain market exposure for the cash position during the reporting period. The Fund’s use of future contributed +0.4 basis points to Fund performance relative to the Index.

On an individual security level, the top positive contributors to the Fund’s performance during the reporting period were Nestle S.A., Novartis AG and SAP SE The top negative contributors to the Fund’s performance during the reporting period were Vodafone Group Plc, Seven & I Holdings Co., Ltd. and Teva Pharmaceutical Industries Limited Sponsored ADR.

International Equity Fund

The Penn Series International Equity Fund returned 18.75% for the six-month period ending June 30, 2019, compared to the 13.60% return for its benchmark, the MSCI ACWI ex U.S. Index for the same time period.

Constellation Software, a leading Canadian-listed conglomerate of mission-critical niche software businesses in the private and public sectors, continues to benefit from vibrant acquisition opportunities and stable organic growth. The company announced a special dividend for investors during the first quarter of 2019. The company specializes in vertical market solutions — back office/operational software in a wide range of verticals such as health care, law and public transit. The company grows through bolt-on acquisitions and the industry is still quite fragmented. We believe the business is predictable because customers usually do not switch to a competitor’s product and they pay annual maintenance fees.

Mastercard reported first quarter 2019 EPS that exceeded consensus expectations, thanks to an increase in revenues, lower client incentives, higher operating margins and lower tax rates. Mastercard is a dominant card payment network second only to Visa. Mastercard continues to benefit from strong secular tailwinds (cash-to-card conversion), and enjoys durable competitive moats as an indispensable component of the payment ecosystem. We believe the company can meet its goal of becoming a one-stop shop for all types of payments.

Bunzl PLC, a UK based distribution group providing solutions to B2B customers in the food service, grocery and cleaning markets, had negative performance as organic growth slowed in the U.S. in its grocery and retail segments. The company also has been a little quieter on the acquisition front as well. We think these are temporary issues and continue to believe in the company’s opportunities for outsourcing by customers as well as the consolidation of fragmented markets. Bunzl is perceived as a reliable partner with a large assortment of products, competitive prices and superior service. The business model relies on continuous bolt-on acquisition on top of low single digit organic growth. On average, we expect Bunzl to grow eps by 8%-10% and return half of its earnings back to shareholders. O’Reilly Automotive’s stock declined after reporting comp sales of 3.2% during the second quarter of 2019, at the lower end of the forecasted range, probably impacted by delayed tax refunds and weather. However, the company kept full-year guidance unchanged. From a fundamental standpoint, there is

nothing company-specific to report. O’Reilly is one of the largest sellers of aftermarket auto parts in the U.S., with nearly 5,000 stores across 47 states, serving professional and do-it-yourself customers. For the past three years, O’Reilly’s net income has grown at a 15% rate while earning a return on invested capital greater than 20%. Despite recent fears about Amazon becoming more aggressive in the auto aftermarket, we believe that O’Reilly’s wide inventory of parts, quick delivery to the time-constrained professional customer, and service provide sufficient barriers to prevent Amazon from meaningfully impacting O’Reilly’s business.

Throughout 2018 and the first half of this year, we have been indicating that markets are getting more difficult to navigate. Despite markets posting a double digit advance year-to-date, risks remain. While major elections are behind us in a few large emerging market countries, some developed countries are potentially more politically uncertain now. And, a ceasefire in the U.S.-China trade war won’t solve all of the deep-rooted issues, such as IP protection, forced technology transfers and national security.

The global economy appears to be slowing. China growth is being impacted by the ongoing trade war with the U.S. and GDP growth now projected to be in the low 6% range, the lowest since the early 1990s. The Eurozone has also seen downward revisions in its GDP growth for 2019 to 1.3% from 1.9% at the end of 2018. Slower growth from its two largest trading partners impacted the export-oriented economies’ growth, most notably Germany. In addition, internal pressures resulting from the delay in a “Brexit” decision from the UK and new populist governments taking control in Italy are threatening the boundaries of EU fiscal spending limits, causing greater uncertainty in the region. The International Monetary Fund, for the third time in six months now, lowered 2019 economic forecasts to the lowest level since the financial crisis. Even in the U.S., where GDP growth is still holding up, earnings estimates for S&P 500 companies are down significantly since late 2018.

From our perspective, the unpredictable nature of the current market could persist. We keep a watchful eye for signals indicating a turn. But as a bottom-up manager, we believe our success is built company by company, by seeking to invest in powerful businesses that are managed by leaders with proven track records, in both good times and bad. In our view, this is the strategy that best shields our investors from economic and political environments that are often in flux.

One could argue that there is no better time to be an active manager than when experience and judgment are put to the test. When the next economic downturn occurs, we want to ensure that our companies’ earnings will be resilient. And depending on the degree of market dislocation that may ensue, we would take advantage of the market volatility.

Emerging Markets Equity Fund

The Penn Series Emerging Markets Equity Fund returned 9.66% for the six-month period ending June 30, 2019, compared to the 10.58% return for its benchmark, the MSCI Emerging Markets Index for the same time period.

Korea was the strongest performing country in our portfolio year-to-date, with both stock selection and country allocation contributing positively during the period. Our stock selection in and overweight allocations to Brazil, Russia and Egypt have also been top contributors for the year-to-date period.

The largest detractor from performance has been our stock selection in India and South Africa. Also detracting from returns were our overweight allocation to Turkey and our stock selection in Malaysia.

On a sector basis, our stock selection in consumer staples, stock selection in and underweight allocations to materials and health care, and stock selection in and an overweight allocation to financials were the strongest contributors to returns during the period. Detracting from performance has been our stock selection in consumer discretionary, stock selection in and underweight allocation to energy, and stock selection in industrials.

The recovery from the global financial crisis of 2008 is nearly 10 years old, making it the longest, but also the weakest, expansion on record. The long duration of this recovery is likely the outcome of endless stimulus. Central banks have been steadily lowering interest rates since the early 1980s and inflation expectations have stayed low, allowing central banks to provide instant stimulus at the first sign of a downturn.

We attribute the weakness of the recovery to four global trends that have crystallized since the crisis of 2008 and which we call the four “Ds”: depopulation (a steep drop in working age population growth, which is depleting national labor forces), declining productivity, debt growth (which has stalled in every large country outside China despite the massive monetary stimulus) and deglobalization (a broad slowdown in cross border flows of goods, money and people).

To invest in a world economy slowed by these factors, we think investors need to adjust downward their expectations of what is considered “fast” growth and focus on the most resilient and promising economies. For countries with average incomes under $5,000, 5% is the new 7%; for those with income up to $15,000, 3% to 4%

should be considered successful growth. With expectations recalibrated, we are focusing our portfolio on economies largely insulated against the four “Ds.” This includes countries that still have growing populations (such as India, the Philippines and Mexico) or strong domestic markets relatively immune to trade wars (Brazil, India, Indonesia and Egypt) or low debt burdens and solid banks (Mexico, Hungary, India, Indonesia and Egypt).

Within these broad themes, there will be pockets of opportunities even in countries hit hard by the four “Ds.” China is a front-line state in the trade wars with a shrinking labor force and rising debts. Yet the worst of these effects are hitting old state-run industries. China’s new private industries, led by technology but including education and health care, still have relatively few debt issues and many companies with bright prospects.

In our portfolio, we remain invested in good quality, growth-oriented companies capable of sustaining or expanding their earnings as a result of healthy or improving domestic demand and resistance to declines in global trade. Our aggregate sector overweight allocations are in the financials and consumer staples sectors, which should benefit from the economic recovery and expansion phase that most EM countries only began to enter in the past couple years.

Real Estate Securities Fund

The Penn Series Real Estate Securities Fund returned 21.10% for the six-month period ending June 30, 2019, compared to the 19.27% return for its benchmark, the FTSE NAREIT All Equity REIT Index for the same time period.

U.S. real estate stocks had a solid gain in the first half of 2019, with most sectors posting double-digit returns, following the downturn late in 2018. Stocks broadly benefited as the U.S. Federal Reserve and other central banks indicated they would pursue accommodative monetary policies amid slowing global economic growth and generally low inflation. Late in the period, signs of progress in U.S.-China trade negotiations contributed to investors’ willingness to take risk, driving equity markets higher. Meanwhile, real estate fundamentals remained healthy in most property types, with firm, lease-based demand and relatively limited new supply.

The portfolio had a positive total return in the period and outperformed its linked benchmark. Factors that aided relative performance included our underweight in the regional mall sector, which had a decline in the period amid ongoing store closings related to competition from e-commerce. Our underweight and stock selection in the health care sector also helped performance. Our non-investment in Senior Housing Properties Trust was particularly beneficial; its shares fell sharply as the company cut its dividend by 60% due to the restructuring of the rental agreement with its largest senior housing operator. Stock selection in the infrastructure sector further aided performance, led by our overweight in cell tower owner SBA Communications, which had a sizable gain in the period.

Our underweight in industrial REITs detracted from relative performance. The sector had a strong gain, lifted in part by merger & activity that highlighted potential opportunities in these stocks. Stock selection in the apartment sector also hindered performance, due mostly to our overweight in UDR, a regionally diversified apartment landlord that saw little in the way of positive catalysts in the period.

In the wake of strong year-to-date performance, we believe REITs have become more fairly valued on an absolute basis, but remain compelling versus private-market valuations. REITs also continue to offer solid overall fundamentals, in our view, and have defensive characteristics, such as relatively stable cash flows, that may offer value in a slowing-growth environment.

In terms of sector positioning, we have a favorable view on all forms of rental housing due to favorable demographic growth trends as well as job and wage growth. We also favor technology-related REITs such as data centers, which should continue to benefit from the proliferation of data growth in the U.S. and elsewhere. We continue to be underweight malls. The secular headwinds of e-commerce penetration remain, while we believe the operating fundamentals of retail landlords are likely to fluctuate as they respond to the changing market.

Aggressive Allocation Fund

The Penn Series Aggressive Allocation Fund returned 15.32% for the six-month period ending June 30, 2019, compared to its benchmarks, the Russell 3000 Index’s return of 18.71% and the Bloomberg Barclays Capital U.S. Aggregate Bond Index’s return of 6.11% for the same time period.

The Aggressive Allocation Fund is comprised of a target allocation of 90% equity funds and 10% 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.

The asset allocation of the Aggressive Allocation Fund contributed negatively to its performance. During the period, the Fund’s allocation in value stocks, emerging market and international equities underperformed the Russell 3000 Index; allocation to short-term bond funds contributed negatively to the performance due to declining interest rates.

Fund selection of the Aggressive Allocation Fund contributed positively to its performance. During the period, our managers for the Penn Series Large Cap Growth Fund, Penn Series Large Core Value Fund, Penn Series SMID Cap Growth Fund, Penn Series Small Cap Growth Fund, Penn Series Small Cap Value Fund, Penn Series International Equity Fund and Penn Series Flexibly Managed Fund outperformed their respective benchmarks by more than 2%, while the Penn Series Large Growth Stock Fund, Penn Series Large Cap Value Fund, Penn Series Mid Cap Value Fund and Penn Series SMID Cap Value Fund underperformed their benchmarks by more than 1%. On the fixed income side, all funds outperformed their respective benchmarks.

During the first half of 2019, global economic growth deaccelerated and uncertainty increased due to the U.S.-China trade conflict. However, the expectation that the Federal Reserve will end its hiking cycle and start to cut rates boosted all financial assets. During the period, we reduced our small cap exposure after their outperformance; and allocated some emerging market exposure to international developed markets to reduce portfolio’s risk exposure to U.S.-China trade conflict. Going forward, we will continually review the Fund to help ensure that it remains consistent with its investment objective by making adjustments, when necessary.

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 January 1, 2019 and held through June 30, 2019. 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.

Variable rate security. The rate disclosed is the rate in effect on the report date. The information in parenthesis represents the benchmark and reference rate for each relevant security and the

  rate floats based upon the reference rate and spread. The security may be further subject to interest rate floors and caps. For loan agreements, the rate shown may represent a weighted average interest rate. Certain variable rate securities are not based on a published reference rate and spread, but are determined by the issuer or agent and are based on current market conditions, or, for mortgage-backed securities, are impacted by the individual mortgages which are paying off over time. These securities do not indicate a reference rate and spread in their descriptions.

ICE — Intercontinental Exchange.

LIBOR — London Interbank Offered Rate.

The security may be further subject to interest rate floors and caps. For loan agreements, the rate shown may represent a weighted average interest rate. Certain variable rate securities are not based on a published reference rate and spread, but are determined by the issuer or agent and are based on current market conditions, or, for mortgage-backed securities, are impacted by the individual mortgages which are paying off over time. These securities do not indicate a reference rate and spread in their descriptions.

Variable rate security. The rate disclosed is the rate in effect on the report date. The information in parenthesis represents the benchmark and reference rate for each relevant security and the rate floats based upon the reference rate and spread. The security may be further subject to interest rate floors and caps. For loan agreements, the rate shown may represent a weighted average interest rate. Certain variable rate securities are not based on a published reference rate and spread, but are determined by the issuer or agent and are based on current market conditions, or, for mortgage-backed securities, are impacted by the individual mortgages which are paying off over time. These securities do not indicate a reference rate and spread in their descriptions.

Schedule of Investments — June 30, 2019 (Unaudited)

High Yield Bond Fund

 

 

 

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 Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) or (iii) the Certificate of Deposit rate. Rate shown represents the actual rate at June 30, 2019. Loan Agreements, while exempt from registration under the Securities 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.

144A @

Security exempt from registration under Rule 144A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. At June 30, 2019, the aggregate value of Rule 144A securities was $101,859,676, which represents 63.7% of the Fund’s net assets.

Variable rate security. The rate disclosed is the rate in effect on the report date. The information in parenthesis represents the benchmark and reference rate for each relevant security and the rate floats based upon the reference rate and spread. The security may be further subject to interest rate floors and caps. For loan agreements, the rate shown may represent a weighted average interest rate. Certain variable rate securities are not based on a published reference rate and spread, but are determined by the issuer or agent and are based on current market conditions, or, for mortgage-backed securities, are impacted by the individual mortgages which are paying off over time. These securities do not indicate a reference rate and spread in their descriptions.

CONV — Convertible Security.

Non-income producing security.

144A @

Security exempt from registration under Rule 144A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. At June 30, 2019, the aggregate value of Rule 144A securities was $321,860,092, which represents 7.5% of the Fund’s net assets.

Variable rate security. The rate disclosed is the rate in effect on the report date. The information in parenthesis represents the benchmark and reference rate for each relevant security and the rate floats based upon the reference rate and spread. The security may be further subject to interest rate floors and caps. For loan agreements, the rate shown may represent a weighted average interest rate. Certain variable rate securities are not based on a published reference rate and spread, but are determined by the issuer or agent and are based on current market conditions, or, for mortgage-backed securities, are impacted by the individual mortgages which are paying off over time. These securities do not indicate a reference rate and spread in their descriptions.

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 Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) or (iii) the Certificate of Deposit rate. Rate shown represents the actual rate at June 30, 2019. Loan Agreements, while exempt from registration under the Securities 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.

The Fund has various registration rights (exercisable under a variety of circumstances) with respect to these securities.

   $ 4,926,096  

Change in Appreciation/(Depreciation)

     17,395  
  

 

 

 

Balance as of 6/30/2019

   $ 5,594,880  
  

 

 

 

It is the Funds practice to recognize transfers in and transfers out of the fair value hierarchy as of the beginning of period. The Fund did not have any transfers in and transfers out of Level 2 fair value hierarchy during the reporting period.

The accompanying notes are an integral part of these financial statements.

(1) 

Other financial instruments are derivative instruments not reflected in the value of total investments in securities in the Schedule of Investments such as futures contracts which are valued at the unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on the instrument.

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 12/31/2018

   $ 755  

Change in Appreciation/(Depreciation)

     (748

Realized Gain (Loss)

     (7
  

 

 

 

Balance as of 6/30/19

   $  
  

 

 

 

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

An amount of $147,625 was transferred from Level 1 into Level 2 during the reporting period as the Fund utilized third-party vendor modeling tools to reflect any significant market movements between the time at which the Fund valued its securities and the earlier closing of foreign markets.

An amount of $618,955 was transferred from Level 2 into Level 1 during the reporting period as a result of using quoted prices in active market for such foreign securities.

The Fund did not have any transfers in and transfers out of Level 3 fair value hierarchy during the reporting period.

An amount of $6,092,282 was transferred from Level 2 into Level 1 during the reporting period as a result of using quoted prices in active market for such foreign securities.

#  Non-annualized.

*  Annualized.

1   The net investment income (loss) per share was calculated using the average shares outstanding method.

2   Total investment return is based on the change in net asset value of a share during the period and assumes reinvestment of dividends and distributions at net asset value. Total returns do not reflect expenses associated with variable contracts such as administrative fees, account charges and surrender charges, which if reflected would reduce the total returns for all periods presented. Total returns may reflect adjustments to conform with generally accepted accounting principles.

3   The ratio includes expenses waived/reimbursed net of amount recaptured and fees paid indirectly, where applicable; if expenses waived/reimbursed net of amount recaptured and fees paid indirectly were excluded, the ratio would have been higher (lower), respectively, than the ratio shown.

4   The ratio excludes expenses waived/reimbursed net of amount recaptured and fees paid indirectly, where applicable; if expenses waived/reimbursed net of amount recaptured and fees paid indirectly were included, the ratio would have been lower than the ratio shown.

Notes to Financial Statements — June 30, 2019 (Unaudited)

 

 

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. Each of the following is a Penn Series FOFs: 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. The Funds are investment companies and follow the accounting and reporting guidance in Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic No. 946.

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. Securities valued according to these evaluation methods are categorized as Level 1 in the fair value hierarchy described below. Debt and fixed income securities are valued by recognized independent third-party valuation services, employing valuation 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 valuation 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 as of the valuation date.

Notes to Financial Statements — June 30, 2019 (Unaudited)

 

 

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 valued at their gross amounts.

To assess the continuing appropriateness of third party pricing service security valuations, Penn Mutual Asset Management, LLC (“PMAM” or the “Adviser”), the investment adviser to each of the Funds, or the Fund’s 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 the 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 Penn Series Board of Directors (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 PMAM 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 publicly traded security prices, discount rates, publicly 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 Funds’ investments. Inputs refer broadly to the assumptions that

Notes to Financial Statements — June 30, 2019 (Unaudited)

 

 

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 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 six months ended June 30, 2019, if any, are shown as notes on the Schedule of Investments of the individual Fund.

Significant Level 3 items at June 30, 2019 consist of $5,594,880 of equities in the Large Growth Stock Fund which were not publicly trading. The unobservable inputs used in valuing these securities include new rounds of financing, negotiated transactions of significant size between other investors in the company, relevant market valuations of peer companies and strategic events affecting the company. Significant increases (decreases) in the valuation indicated by the new rounds of financing, valuations observed through negotiated transactions between other investors in the company or changes in the market valuation of relevant peer companies would result in directionally similar changes to the fair value. Fair value determinations are reviewed and updated on a regular basis and as information becomes available, including actual purchase and sale transactions of the issue.

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 all 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, 2018 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, 2018, 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.

Notes to Financial Statements — June 30, 2019 (Unaudited)

 

 

Effective September 10, 2009, Penn Series, on behalf of its Money Market Fund, PMAM, and Penn Mutual, entered into an agreement whereby PMAM 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, PMAM 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 PMAM 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.

If, at the end of each month, there is no liability of PMAM 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 PMAM and Penn Mutual and, if recaptured, would become payable by the Funds to PMAM and Penn Mutual along with the advisory fee or administrative and corporate services fee for that month, as applicable. Penn Mutual and/or PMAM’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 PMAM 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.

Total fees of $260,000 were paid to Directors of Penn Series, who are not interested persons of Penn Series, for the six months ended June 30, 2019. Directors who are also employees of PMAM or its affiliates and officers of the Company receive no compensation from the Company for their services.

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, 2018, 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, 2018, primarily attributable to consent dividends, 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.

It is each Fund’s policy to continue to comply with the requirements of the Internal Revenue Code under Subchapter M, applicable to regulated investment companies, and to distribute all of its taxable income, including any net realized gains on investments, to its shareholders. Therefore, no provision is made for federal income taxes.

Management of the Funds has reviewed tax positions taken in tax years that remain subject to examination by all major tax jurisdictions, including federal (i.e., the last four tax year ends and the interim tax period since then, as applicable). Management believes that there is no tax liability resulting from unrecognized tax benefits related to uncertain tax positions taken.

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 purchase options, 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 Limited Maturity Bond, Quality Bond, Index 500, Small Cap Index and Developed International Index Funds have entered into futures contracts during the six months ended June 30, 2019. Open futures contracts held by the Limited Maturity Bond, Quality Bond, Index 500, Small Cap Index and Developed International Index Funds at June 30, 2019 are listed after the Fund’s Schedule of Investments.

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 Statements 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 Statements of Operations.

The Flexibly Managed and Mid Cap Growth Funds 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.

The total market value of written options held in the Flexibly Managed Fund as of June 30, 2019 can be found on the Schedule of Investments.

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 Mid Core Value Fund and Emerging Markets Equity Fund 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 Fund hedged 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 forward foreign currency contracts outstanding are listed after the Fund’s Schedule of Investments.

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.

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 Flexibly Managed, Large Growth Stock, Large Cap Growth, Mid 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 — RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS and REPORTING UPDATES

In August 2018, the FASB issued an ASU 2018-13, which changes certain fair value measurement disclosure requirements. The ASU 2018-13, in addition to other modifications and additions, removes the requirement to disclose the amount and reasons for transfers between Level 1 and Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy, the policy for the timing of transfers between levels and the valuation process for Level 3 fair value measurements. The ASU 2018-13 is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after Dec. 15, 2019. At this time, management is evaluating the implications of these changes on the financial statements.

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 no additional subsequent events require recognition or disclosure in the financial statements.

Board Approval of Investment Advisory and Sub-Advisory Agreements

The Penn Series Funds, Inc. (the “Company”) and Penn Mutual Asset Management, LLC (“PMAM”) have entered into an investment advisory agreement (the “Advisory Agreement”) pursuant to which PMAM (i) provides day-to-day investment management services to certain of the Company’s Funds (collectively, the “Directly Managed Funds”) and (ii) is responsible for the selection and oversight of various investment sub-advisers who perform day-to-day investment management services for other of the Company’s Funds (collectively, the “Sub-Advised Funds” and, together with the Directly Managed Funds, the “Funds”). The Directly Managed Funds are: the Money Market, Limited Maturity Bond, Quality Bond, High Yield Bond, Balanced, Aggressive Allocation, Moderately Aggressive Allocation, Moderate Allocation, Moderately Conservative Allocation, and Conservative Allocation Funds. The Sub-Advised Funds are: the 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 Value, Small Cap Growth, Small Cap Index, Developed International Index, International Equity, Emerging Markets Equity, and Real Estate Securities Funds.

PMAM acts as a “manager of managers” for the Sub-Advised Funds. In this capacity, PMAM has entered into, and the Company’s Board of Directors (the “Board”) has approved, separate sub-advisory agreements (each, a “Sub-Advisory Agreement” and, collectively with the Advisory Agreement, the “Agreements”) with each of the sub-advisers identified below (each, a “Sub-Adviser” and, collectively, the “Sub-Advisers”). The Sub-Advisers provide their services to the Sub-Advised Funds subject to the oversight of PMAM and the Board. Each Sub-Adviser is selected based primarily upon the research and recommendations of PMAM, which quantitatively and qualitatively evaluates, among other factors, each Sub-Adviser’s (i) investment expertise and resources, (ii) investment results in managing assets for relevant asset classes, investment styles and strategies, and (iii) regulatory compliance infrastructure and culture. PMAM oversees each Sub-Adviser’s activities with respect to the Fund it manages to ensure compliance with the Fund’s investment policies and guidelines, and monitors each Sub-Adviser’s adherence to its investment style and investment performance.

The Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”), requires that the initial approval of, as well as the continuation of, each Fund’s Agreement(s) be specifically approved by: (i) the vote of the Board or by a vote of the shareholders of the Fund; and (ii) the vote of a majority of the Company’s Directors who are not “interested persons,” as defined in the 1940 Act (collectively, the “Independent Directors”), cast in person at a meeting called for the purpose of voting on such approval. In connection with its consideration of such approvals, the Board must request and evaluate, and

PMAM and each Sub-Adviser (collectively, the “Advisers”) are required to furnish, such information as may be reasonably necessary for the Board to evaluate the terms of the Agreements.

Board Approval of the Continuance of Investment Advisory and Sub-Advisory Agreements

The Board held a special telephonic meeting on May 9, 2019 and an in-person meeting on May 16, 2019 (together, the “Meeting”) to consider the approval of each Agreement with respect to each Fund. In preparation for the Meeting, the Board provided PMAM with a written request for information relating to both PMAM and each Sub-Adviser and received and reviewed, in advance of the Meeting, extensive written materials in response to that request. Those materials included information pertaining to (i) PMAM’s and each Sub-Adviser’s leadership, organizational structure, corporate changes, and financial condition, (ii) the performance of each Fund versus its benchmark and peer universe, (iii) the level of the investment advisory and sub-advisory fees charged to each Fund, as applicable, as well as comparisons of such fees with the aggregate investment advisory fees incurred by comparable funds, (iv) the costs to each Adviser of providing such services, including a detailed profitability analysis applicable to PMAM and its affiliates and profitability information applicable to each Sub-Adviser, (v) each Adviser’s compliance program, and (vi) various other matters relevant to the operations of and services provided by each Adviser.

Board Considerations. The information provided by each Adviser in connection with the Meeting was in addition to the detailed information about the Funds that the Board receives and reviews during the course of the year, including information about each Fund’s performance and fees and expenses. In connection with the Meeting, the Board also received a memorandum from legal counsel discussing the responsibilities of the Independent Directors in connection with their consideration of the Agreements. In addition, the Independent Directors met in executive session outside the presence of management to discuss the information submitted to the Board in connection with the renewal of the Agreements. The Independent Directors also had an opportunity to speak with senior representatives of PMAM during the special telephonic meeting and after receipt of the information pertaining to the Advisers to discuss the written materials and request additional materials, if desired.

With respect to each Adviser, the Board evaluated and discussed a number of factors, including among others: (a) the nature, extent and quality of each Adviser’s investment management and other services and, with respect to PMAM, its services as a “manager of managers” of the Sub-Advised Funds; (b) the quantity and quality of each Adviser’s investment management personnel; (c) each Adviser’s operations and financial condition; (d) each Adviser’s brokerage practices (including best execution policies, evaluating execution quality, average commission rates on fund trades, soft dollar arrangements, if any, and affiliated and directed brokerage arrangements) and investment strategies; (e) a comparison of the Funds’ advisory and sub-advisory fees to the fees charged to comparable funds or accounts, including breakpoints; (f) the level of each Adviser’s cost of services provided and estimated profitability from its fund-related operations; (g) other benefits that may accrue to each Adviser and its affiliates as a result of their relationship with the Funds; (h) the extent to which the Funds’ advisory and sub-advisory fees reflect economies of scale and the extent to which any such economies of scale are shared with fund investors; (i) each Adviser’s risk management and compliance programs and, if applicable, a description of the material changes made to, and material compliance violations of, the compliance program; (j) each Adviser’s investment reputation, expertise and resources; and (k) an independently-prepared report of each Fund’s performance compared with that of similar mutual funds and benchmark indices. In its deliberations, the Directors did not identify any single piece of information that was all-important or controlling, noting that each Director could attribute different weights to the various factors considered.

At the Meeting, representatives from PMAM commented on the information delivered to the Board and answered questions from Board members to help the Board evaluate each Adviser’s fees and other aspects of the services provided, including the services provided by PMAM’s affiliates and the fees related to such services. The Board then deliberated on the renewal of the Agreements in light of all of the information provided.

Based on the Board’s deliberations at the Meeting, the Board, including all of the Independent Trustees, unanimously: (a) concluded that the terms of each Agreement are fair and reasonable; (b) concluded that each Adviser’s fees are reasonable in light of the services that it provides to the Funds, as well as the costs incurred and benefits realized by the

Adviser and its affiliates in providing such services; (c) concluded that PMAM’s fees are reasonable in comparison to the fees charged by investment advisers to comparable funds; and (d) agreed to approve each Agreement based upon the following considerations, among others:

Nature, Extent and Quality of Services. The Board considered the nature, extent and quality of the services provided by each Adviser to the Funds. In this regard, the Board evaluated, among other things, each Adviser’s business, personnel, experience, investment decision process, past performance, brokerage practices, compliance program, and resources to be dedicated to each Fund, as applicable. The Board reviewed the scope of services to be provided by each Adviser under the Agreements and noted that there would be no significant differences between the scope of services required to be provided by the Advisers for the past year and the scope of services required to be provided during the upcoming year. The Board also considered each Adviser’s representations to the Board that the Adviser would continue to provide investment and related services that were of materially the same quality and quantity as services provided to the Funds in the past, and that these services are appropriate in scope and extent in light of the Funds’ operations, the competitive landscape of the investment company business, and investor needs. Based on this evaluation, the Board concluded, within the context of its full deliberations, that the nature, extent and quality of services provided by each Adviser to the Funds supported renewal of the Agreements.

Fund Performance. The Board considered fund performance in determining whether to renew the Agreements. PMAM engaged an independent third party to prepare a report (the “Comparative Report”) to help the Board evaluate, among other information, the Funds’ performance and the performance of a peer group of comparable funds selected by the independent third party (“peer group”). Specifically, the Board considered each Fund’s recent and long-term performance relative to its peer group and appropriate indices/benchmarks, in light of total return, yield and economic and market trends. In evaluating performance, the Board considered both market risk and shareholder risk expectations for a given Fund. Based on this evaluation, the Board concluded, within the context of its full deliberations, that the performance of the Funds (both actual performance and comparable performance) supported renewal of the Agreements.

Costs of Advisory and Sub-Advisory Services. The Board considered the cost of the advisory and sub-advisory services provided to the Funds by each Adviser. The Board considered, in particular, the peer expense information included in the Comparative Report. The Board evaluated (a) the advisory and sub-advisory services provided; (b) the advisory and sub-advisory fees paid, including breakpoint schedules; (c) the advisory and sub-advisory fees paid in comparison to the advisory and sub-advisory fees charged to the peer group funds; and (d) the fact that each Sub-Adviser is compensated by PMAM and not directly by the relevant Sub-Advised Fund, and that such compensation reflects an arms-length negotiation between each Sub-Adviser and PMAM. The Board also considered PMAM and its affiliates’ agreement to waive certain of the Funds’ management and other fees to prevent total fund expenses from exceeding a specified cap. Based on this evaluation, the Board concluded, within the context of its full deliberations, that the advisory and sub-advisory fees charged to the Funds are fair and reasonable and supported renewal of the Agreements.

Profitability and Other Benefits. With regard to profitability, the Board considered all compensation paid, directly or indirectly, to each Adviser and its affiliates, and any benefits derived or to be derived by each Adviser and its affiliates, as well as the cost of Fund services provided by each Adviser. In its consideration of the profitability of PMAM and its affiliates, the Board was provided with information about, and considered the profitability of, the various administrative and servicing arrangements between the Funds and PMAM and its affiliates. The Board also considered the methodology used to determine the profitability of PMAM and its affiliates, and the peer expense information included in the Comparative Report, which included servicing-related expenses. The Board noted that while such information may not constitute a perfect comparison due differences in services provided, the information nonetheless provided a useful data point. When considering the profitability of each Sub-Adviser, the Board took into account the fact that each Sub-Adviser is compensated by PMAM, and not by the Funds directly, and such compensation reflects an arms-length negotiation between the Sub-Adviser and PMAM. In evaluating the other or fall-out benefits that may accrue to the Advisers and their affiliates because of their relationship with the Funds, the Board noted that they may receive indirect benefits in the form of soft dollar arrangements for portfolio securities trades placed with the Funds’ assets. In addition, the Board considered that the Sub-Advisers may benefit from the development of additional investment advisory business with PMAM or the Company as a result of their relationships with the Funds. Based on this evaluation, the Board concluded, within the context of its full

deliberations, that the profitability of and any fall-out benefits realized by the Advisers are reasonable in relation to the quality of their respective services and supported renewal of the Agreements.

Economies of Scale. The Board considered the existence of any economies of scale and whether such economies of scale are shared with a Fund’s shareholders through a graduated investment advisory fee schedule (i.e., breakpoints) or other means, including any fee waivers by PMAM and its affiliates or the Sub-Adviser. The Board, in particular, considered instances in which PMAM’s and a Sub-Adviser’s breakpoints were not the same. The Board closely considered new breakpoints, noting that it was too early to determine whether benefits would be realized but that any such economies would be considered in the future as assets grew. The Board also considered the recent instances in which PMAM had successfully negotiated reductions in the sub-advisory fees charged to certain of the Funds and its decision to lower its advisory fee by at least the same amount for those Funds. Based on this evaluation, the Board concluded, within the context of its full deliberations, that the Funds and their shareholders obtain a reasonable benefit from the realization of any economies of scale by the Advisers.

*    *     *

On the basis of the information provided to it in advance of the Meeting and its evaluation of that information, as well as additional information provided by PMAM in response to the Board’s questions during the Meeting, the Board, including the Independent Directors, concluded that the terms of each Agreement were fair and reasonable, and that approval of each Agreement was in the best interests of each Fund and its shareholders.
