INTEGRITY DIVIDEND HARVEST FUND

 

DEAR SHAREHOLDERS:

 

Enclosed is the report of the operations for the Integrity Dividend Harvest Fund (the “Dividend Harvest Fund” or “Fund”) for the six months ended January 31, 2020. The Fund’s portfolio and related financial statements are presented within for your review.

 

The semi-annual period saw the S&P 500 TR Index (“S&P”) return 9.31%. Wage growth, lower unemployment, robust consumer spending, and declining interest rates boosted investor confidence over the period. Trade war fears permeated the markets and scared investors, although fears of a near-term recession began to fade. The period ended in the midst of a virus outbreak from China, concerning investors that it may have a negative effect on the global economy.

 

During the period, most of the companies comprising the S&P reported earnings covering the second and third calendar quarters. For second quarter, those companies reported earnings that grew approximately 3.2% on revenue growth of 4.7%, year-over-year, with 74% beating analyst expectations. Although positive, the rate of earnings growth dropped significantly from 24.9% in the same period of the prior year. For third quarter, those S&P companies reported earnings that fell approximately -0.3% on revenue growth of 3.9%, year-over-year, with 75% beating analyst expectations. While earnings growth was negative for the third quarter, it is expected to be positive in 2020, accelerating upward throughout the year.

 

The U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics reported that the unemployment rate declined over the period. Starting at 3.7%, it dropped down to 3.5% before ending the period in January at 3.6%. This marks the lowest unemployment rate since 1969, a 50-year low.

 

After reducing the fed funds target range by 0.25% in July, the Federal Open Market Committee (“FOMC”) dropped the target range by another 0.25% at both its September and October 2019 meetings. The target range currently sits at 1.50-1.75% after reaching a high of 2.25-2.50% at the end of 2018. The FOMC noted that the labor market remained strong, economic activity was rising at a moderate rate, job gains were solid, and the unemployment rate remained low.

 

During the period, information technology was the best performing sector, led higher by mega-cap giants like Apple and Microsoft. Utilities was a close second, rising as investors sought yield and safety amid declining interest rates and trade war fears. The worst performing sector was energy as investors feared too much supply and too little demand growth.

 

The Fund’s total returns for Class A, C, and I shares were 6.72%*, 6.33%*, and 6.85%*, respectively, for the six-months ended January 31, 2020 while the S&P returned 9.31% over the same period. The Fund is in the Morningstar Large Value category which returned 4.89% over the same period. The Fund outperformed its Morningstar Category and underperformed the S&P. The underperformance relative to the S&P was primarily driven by an underweight allocation to information technology and an overweight allocation to energy. Aiding relative performance was an overweight allocation to utilities.

 

The Fund seeks to maximize total return by emphasizing high current income with long term appreciation as a secondary objective, consistent with preservation of capital. The Portfolio Management Team (the “Team”) considers dividend yield, dividend growth rate, earnings growth, price-to-earnings multiples, and balance sheet strength. The Team emphasizes dividend yield in selecting stocks for the Fund because we believe that, over time, dividend income can contribute significantly to total return and is a more consistent source of investment return than appreciation.

Sincerely,

*Performance does not include applicable front-end or contingent deferred sales charges, which would have reduced the performance. The total annual fund operating expense ratio (before expense waivers and reimbursements and including acquired fund fees and expenses) as of the most recent fiscal year-end was 1.51%, 2.26%, and 1.26% for Class A, C, and I, respectively. The net annual fund operating expense ratio (after expense waivers and reimbursements and excluding acquired fund fees and expenses) as of the most recent fiscal year-end was 0.95%, 1.70%, and 0.70% for Class A, C, and I, respectively. The Fund’s investment adviser has contractually agreed to waive fees and reimburse expenses through November 29, 2020 so that total annual fund operating expenses after fee waivers and expense reimbursements (excluding taxes, brokerage fees, commissions, extraordinary and non-recurring expenses, and acquired fund fees and expenses) do not exceed 0.95%, 1.70%, and 0.70% for Class A, C, and I, respectively. This expense limitation agreement may only be terminated or modified prior to November 29, 2020 with the approval of the Fund’s Board of Trustees.

The table and graph above do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on Fund distributions and redemptions of Fund shares. The graph comparing the Fund’s performance to a benchmark index provides you with a general sense of how the Fund performed. To put this information in context, it may be helpful to understand the special differences between the two. The Fund’s total return for the period shown appears with and without sales charges and includes Fund expenses and management fees. A securities index measures the performance of a theoretical portfolio. Unlike a fund, the index is unmanaged; there are no expenses that affect the results. In addition, few investors could purchase all of the securities to match the index. If they could, transaction costs and other expenses would be incurred. All Fund and benchmark returns include reinvested dividends.

 

 


 

 

INTEGRITY ENERGIZED DIVIDEND FUND

 

DEAR SHAREHOLDERS:

 

Enclosed is the report of the operations for the Integrity Energized Dividend Fund (the “Energized Dividend Fund” or “Fund”) for the six months ended January 31, 2020. The Fund’s portfolio and related financial statements are presented within for your review.

 

The semi-annual period saw the S&P 500 TR Index (“S&P”) return 9.31%. Wage growth, lower unemployment, robust consumer spending, and declining interest rates boosted investor confidence over the period. Trade war fears permeated the markets and scared investors, although fears of a near-term recession began to fade. The period ended in the midst of a virus outbreak from China, concerning investors that it may have a negative effect on the global economy.

 

During the period, most of the companies comprising the S&P reported earnings covering the second and third calendar quarters. For second quarter, those companies reported earnings that grew approximately 3.2% on revenue growth of 4.7%, year-over-year, with 74% beating analyst expectations. Although positive, the rate of earnings growth dropped significantly from 24.9% in the same period of the prior year. For third quarter, those S&P companies reported earnings that fell approximately -0.3% on revenue growth of 3.9%, year-over-year, with 75% beating analyst expectations. While earnings growth was negative for the third quarter, it is expected to be positive in 2020, accelerating upward throughout the year.

 

The U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics reported that the unemployment rate declined over the period. Starting at 3.7%, it dropped down to 3.5% before ending the period in January at 3.6%. This marks the lowest unemployment rate since 1969, a 50-year low.

 

After reducing the fed funds target range by 0.25% in July, the Federal Open Market Committee (“FOMC”) dropped the target range by another 0.25% at both its September and October 2019 meetings. The target range currently sits at 1.50-1.75% after reaching a high of 2.25-2.50% at the end of 2018. The FOMC noted that the labor market remained strong, economic activity was rising at a moderate rate, job gains were solid, and the unemployment rate remained low.

 

During the period, information technology was the best performing sector, led higher by mega-cap giants like Apple and Microsoft. The utility sector was a close second, rising as investors sought yield and safety amid declining interest rates and trade war fears. The worst performing sector was energy as investors feared too much supply and too little demand growth.

 

The 3Q2019 truly proved how anemic sentiment towards crude oil and energy equities has become. During the quarter, there was a strike on Saudi Arabia’s oilfield and infrastructure that shut in 5.7 million barrels of oil per day. The initial move in crude oil was a sharply higher, however, within two weeks, crude oil was trading below where it was before the attack. This attack left the markets heavily undersupplied over the third quarter, with estimates as high as a 2.5 million barrel per day deficit, and crude oil fell 7.78% over the quarter. This emphasizes that investors seem to be solely focused on 2020 demand concerns and until sentiment changes, crude oil and energy equities may struggle to break higher.

 

For the 3Q2019, the Fund (Class A shares) returned -5.81% compared to a loss of -7.34% for the S&P 1500 Energy Composite and a loss of -10.05% for the Morningstar Equity Energy category. WTI crude oil decreased 7.13% to end the quarter at $54.07 and Brent crude oil decreased 7.13% to end the quarter at $59.25. At the end of the third quarter, the Brent-WTI differential was $5.18.

 

The energy sector got off to a negative start in the 4Q2019, trading lower over the first two months, even as crude oil traded higher. However, December saw a significant snapback for the sector, trading up 7% over the month. OPEC production cuts and progression on the U.S./China trade deal all contributed to the strong December returns for the energy sector. At the beginning of December, OPEC agreed to additional production cuts of 400,000 barrels of oil per day (bopd). Saudi Arabia will be committing to 170-175,000 bopd, with the rest being split between the remaining OPEC countries. This set a solid floor for crude prices and created a much needed tailwind for the commodity. Additionally, U.S. and China made great progression on “Phase 1” of the trade deal. This is important because its removes uncertainty on the impact tariffs would have on consumption and industrial activity.

 

For the 4Q2019, the Fund (Class A shares) returned 3.31% compared to a gain of 5.76% for the S&P 1500 Energy Composite and a gain of 8.06% for the Morningstar Equity Energy category. WTI crude oil increased 14.52% to end the quarter at $61.06 and Brent crude oil increased 14.66% to end the quarter at $66.00. At the end of the fourth quarter, the Brent-WTI differential was $4.94.

 

In the month of January, crude prices fell 14.45% to close the month at 51.68. The Fund returned -6.39% in January, 5.85% ahead of the Morningstar Equity Energy category.

 

Since the collapse in oil prices back in late 2014, sentiment towards energy has waned. Energy as a percentage of the S&P 500 hit a record low 4.3% in the 4Q2019 and earnings revisions for the energy sectors were falling hard. Looking ahead to 2020, things look much better. Energy is expected to lead all sector in earnings growth and cash flows are poised to be strong if crude prices remain above $50 a barrel. It will be important for energy companies to maintain capital discipline and refrain from increasing capital expenditures if we see higher crude oil prices. We feel this is the prudent move and would provide companies with strong free cash flow, all while gaining back the trust of investors that they won’t chase oil prices and over produce again. Sentiment towards the energy sector would change dramatically if capital discipline is maintained across the energy sector, drawing investors back to the sector for the first time since 2014. In a sense, capital discipline is making the energy sector an investment, not just a trade.


 

 

The Fund’s total returns for Class A, C, and I shares were -6.20%*, -6.43%*, and -5.99%*, respectively, for the six-months ended January 31, 2020, compared to returns of -12.37%, -11.55%, and 8.72% for the Morningstar Equity Energy Category, the S&P Composite 1500 Energy Index, and the S&P Composite 1500 Index, respectively. Aiding relative performance was an overweight allocation to pipelines, as well as selection within pipelines.

INTEGRITY GROWTH & INCOME FUND

 

DEAR SHAREHOLDERS:

 

Enclosed is the report of the operations for the Integrity Growth & Income Fund (the “Growth & Income Fund” or “Fund”) for the six months ended January 31, 2020. The Fund’s portfolio and related financial statements are presented within for your review.

 

The semi-annual period saw the S&P 500 TR Index (“S&P”) return 9.31%. Wage growth, lower unemployment, robust consumer spending, and declining interest rates boosted investor confidence over the period. Trade war fears permeated the markets and scared investors, although fears of a near-term recession began to fade. The period ended in the midst of a virus outbreak from China, concerning investors that it may have a negative effect on the global economy.

 

During the period, most of the companies comprising the S&P reported earnings covering the second and third calendar quarters. For second quarter, those companies reported earnings that grew approximately 3.2% on revenue growth of 4.7%, year-over-year, with 74% beating analyst expectations. Although positive, the rate of earnings growth dropped significantly from 24.9% in the same period of the prior year. For third quarter, those S&P companies reported earnings that fell approximately -0.3% on revenue growth of 3.9%, year-over-year, with 75% beating analyst expectations. While earnings growth was negative for the third quarter, it is expected to be positive in 2020, accelerating upward throughout the year.

 

The U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics reported that the unemployment rate declined over the period. Starting at 3.7%, it dropped down to 3.5% before ending the period in January at 3.6%. This marks the lowest unemployment rate since 1969, a 50-year low.

The Fund’s total returns for Class A, C, and I shares were 9.31%*, 9.10%*, and 9.44%*, respectively, for the six-months ended January 31, 2020 while the S&P returned 9.31%. The Fund is in the Morningstar Large Blend category which returned 7.54% over the same time period. The Fund’s Class I shares outperformed its Morningstar Category and the S&P. The outperformance relative to the S&P was primarily driven by an underweight allocation to energy and stock selection in financials. Detracting from relative performance was stock selection in industrials.

 

The Fund is managed using a blended growth and income investment strategy with an ESG overlay. The Portfolio Management Team (the “Team”) seeks to invest primarily in domestic common stocks, balancing investments between growth & dividend paying stocks, depending on where we see the best value. The Team also tries to emphasize companies we believe offer both attractive investment opportunities and demonstrate a positive awareness of their impact on the society in which they operate.

INTEGRITY HIGH INCOME FUND

 

DEAR SHAREHOLDERS:

 

Enclosed is the report of the operations for the Integrity High Income Fund (the “High Income Fund” or “Fund”) for the six months ended January 31, 2020. The Fund’s portfolio and related financial statements are presented within for your review.

 

Market Environment

The high-yield bond market posted six consecutive positive return months from July through January as the risk-on market sentiment continued to rally. The third quarter proved volatile as the 2/10s yield curve inverted in August for the first time since 2007, in part due to a Fed rate cut that caused the 10 year Treasury’s yield to decrease by 52 bps, and a September air strike on facilities in Saudi Arabia drove large swings in oil prices. October and November were more subdued as another Fed rate cut, better than expected earnings and sales growth, positive economic data and progress towards a US-China trade deal pushed the high-yield market modestly higher. The high-yield market, and all risk assets, finished 2019 on a strong note as the US-China phase one deal materialized in December. In January, the high-yield market began the year continuing its 2019 rally until fears of the coronavirus increased, heightening concerns on its impact on global growth. For the trailing six-month period, the high-yield market increased +3.34% (as measured by the ICE BofAML US High Yield Constrained Index, HUC0) while spreads widened 13 bps to 420 bps and yields decreased 40 bps to 5.62%. Higher quality outperformed lower quality, with BB’s returning +4.24%, single B’s +3.32%, and CCC’s +1.08%. The automotive, banking and insurance sectors led the contributors to performance while the energy sector was the only detractor.

 

Technicals remain strong as low net issuance continues and low/negative yields outside the US are driving the demand for US high-yield bond funds. High-yield bond flows were positive in the six-month period, with +$3.8 billion of inflows. New issuance for the period was strong with 250 new bonds pricing for $159.2 billion. Full year 2019 issuance of $286.6 billion compares to $187.4 billion in 2018 (+535) and $328.1 billion in 2017. Excluding refinancings (67% of total volume year-to-date), net volume of $93.7 billion in 2019 is up +28% over 2018. In January, refinancings accounted for 83% of total new issuance. Default activity picked up over the six-month period, with the trailing 12-month par-weighted default rate increasing 53 bps from the end of July to 2.65%, though well below the long-term average of approximately 3.5%.

 

With a +3.34% (HUC0) return for the six-months ending January 31, high yield trailed the U.S. Aggregate (D0A0), +4.33%, emerging markets (EMCB), +4.48%, and high grade credit (C0A0), +6.03%, but led 5-year treasuries (GA05), +3.24%.

 

Portfolio Performance and Positioning

For the trailing six-month period ending January 31, the Integrity High Income Fund returned 2.93%* (A Class shares, net of fees), 2.54%* (C Class shares, net of fees) and 3.06%* (I Class shares, net of fees) compared to its benchmark, the Bloomberg Barclays U.S. High Yield Index, which returned 3.43%, and the Morningstar High Yield category’s median period return of 3.17%. The Fund’s A Class shares underperformed the benchmark for the six-month period due to security selection in the wirelines and wireless sectors in addition to an underweight to banking. The largest detractors resulted from relative weightings in Windstream Holdings, Softbank Group (Sprint), EP Energy, Neiman Marcus Group and Community Health Systems. Alternatively, contributions from an underweight to oil field services in addition to security selection in the REITs-other and automotive sectors enhanced performance for the six-month period. Specifically, weightings in VICI Properties, DISH Network, Adient PLC, Delphi Technologies PLC and McDermott International enhanced performance results in the period.

 

Compared to the benchmark at January 31, the Fund was overweight in cable satellite, automotive and consumer products due to our view of the relative value opportunities within those sectors. The Fund remained underweight in home construction, finance companies and electric utilities because we have not found these sectors attractive due to challenging fundamental outlooks or rich valuations. Relative to the benchmark at January 31, the Fund’s yield, spread and duration were all lower than those of the benchmark.

 

Market Outlook

While global growth has decelerated we expect it to remain near trend. Corporate earnings and cash flows remain positive despite moderating from peak levels. Geopolitical uncertainty continues to remain an impediment to spending plans and corporate psychology, weighing on growth expectations and remaining a risk to global growth. Corporate balance sheets are sound as modest spending plans keep leverage stable. Defaults are likely to remain within 2-3% until economic activity weakens. Technicals are supportive with positive fund inflows and below average net issuance. Although volatility has increased due to concerns surrounding escalating trade tensions and the longevity of the current profit cycle, we believe the credit cycle continues to have significant runway and the asset class represents reasonable value relative to current and expected defaults, as well as other financial assets. Our fundamental research, bottom-up security selection style should allow us to continue to capitalize on market opportunities.

INTEGRITY MID-NORTH AMERICAN RESOURCES FUND

 

DEAR SHAREHOLDERS:

 

Enclosed is the report of the operations for the Integrity Mid-North American Resources Fund (the “MNA Resources Fund” or “Fund”) for the six months ended January 31, 2020. The Fund’s portfolio and related financial statements are presented within for your review.

 

The semi-annual period saw the S&P 500 TR Index (“S&P”) return 9.31%. Wage growth, lower unemployment, robust consumer spending, and declining interest rates boosted investor confidence over the period. Trade war fears permeated the markets and scared investors, although fears of a near-term recession began to fade. The period ended in the midst of a virus outbreak from China, concerning investors that it may have a negative effect on the global economy.

 

During the period, most of the companies comprising the S&P reported earnings covering the second and third calendar quarters. For second quarter, those companies reported earnings that grew approximately 3.2% on revenue growth of 4.7%, year-over-year, with 74% beating analyst expectations. Although positive, the rate of earnings growth dropped significantly from 24.9% in the same period of the prior year. For third quarter, those S&P companies reported earnings that fell approximately -0.3% on revenue growth of 3.9%, year-over-year, with 75% beating analyst expectations. While earnings growth was negative for the third quarter, it is expected to be positive in 2020, accelerating upward throughout the year.

 

The U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics reported that the unemployment rate declined over the period. Starting at 3.7%, it dropped down to 3.5% before ending the period in January at 3.6%. This marks the lowest unemployment rate since 1969, a 50-year low.

 

After reducing the fed funds target range by 0.25% in July, the Federal Open Market Committee (“FOMC”) dropped the target range by another 0.25% at both its September and October 2019 meetings. The target range currently sits at 1.50-1.75% after reaching a high of 2.25-2.50% at the end of 2018. The FOMC noted that the labor market remained strong, economic activity was rising at a moderate rate, job gains were solid, and the unemployment rate remained low.

 

During the period, information technology was the best performing sector, led higher by mega-cap giants like Apple and Microsoft. The utility sector was a close second, rising as investors sought yield and safety amid declining interest rates and trade war fears. The worst performing sector was energy as investors feared too much supply and too little demand growth.

 

The 3Q2019 truly proved how anemic sentiment towards crude oil and energy equities has become. During the quarter, there was a strike on Saudi Arabia’s oilfield and infrastructure that shut in 5.7 million barrels of oil per day. The initial move in crude oil was a sharply higher, however, within two weeks, crude oil was trading below where it was before the attack. This attack left the markets heavily undersupplied over the third quarter, with estimates as high as a 2.5 million barrel per day deficit, and crude oil fell 7.78% over the quarter. This emphasizes that investors seem to be solely focused on 2020 demand concerns and until sentiment changes, crude oil and energy equities may struggle to break higher.

 

For the 3Q2019, the Fund (Class A shares) returned -7.76% compared to a loss of -7.34% for the S&P 1500 Energy Composite and a loss of -10.05% for the Morningstar Equity Energy category. WTI crude oil decreased 7.13% to end the quarter at $54.07 and Brent crude oil decreased 7.13% to end the quarter at $59.25. At the end of the third quarter, the Brent-WTI differential was $5.18.

 

The energy sector got off to a negative start in the 4Q2019, trading lower over the first two months, even as crude oil traded higher. However, December saw a significant snapback for the sector, trading up 7% over the month. OPEC production cuts and progression on the U.S./China trade deal all contributed to the strong December returns for the energy sector. At the beginning of December, OPEC agreed to additional production cuts of 400,000 barrels of oil per day (bopd). Saudi Arabia will be committing to 170-175,000 bopd, with the rest being split between the remaining OPEC countries. This set a solid floor for crude prices and created a much needed tailwind for the commodity. Additionally, U.S. and China made great progression on “Phase 1” of the trade deal. This is important because its removes uncertainty on the impact tariffs would have on consumption and industrial activity.

 

For the 4Q2019, the Fund (Class A shares) returned 6.35% compared to a gain of 5.76% for the S&P 1500 Energy Composite and a gain of 8.06% for the Morningstar Equity Energy category. WTI crude oil increased 14.52% to end the quarter at $61.06 and Brent crude oil increased 14.66% to end the quarter at $66.00. At the end of the fourth quarter, the Brent-WTI differential was $4.94.

 

In the month of January, crude prices fell 14.45% to close the month at 51.68. The Fund returned -9.76% in January, 2.48% ahead of the Morningstar Equity Energy category.

 

Since the collapse in oil prices back in late 2014, sentiment towards energy has waned. Energy as a percentage of the S&P 500 hit a record low 4.3% in the 4Q2019 and earnings revisions for the energy sector were falling hard. Looking ahead to 2020, things look much better. Energy is expected to lead all sectors in earnings growth and cash flows are poised to be strong if crude prices remain above $50 a barrel. It will be important for energy companies to maintain capital discipline and refrain from increasing capital expenditures if we see higher crude oil prices. We feel this is the prudent move and would provide companies with strong free cash flow, all while gaining back the trust of investors that they won’t chase oil prices and over produce again. Sentiment towards the energy sector would change dramatically if capital discipline is maintained across the energy sector, drawing investors back to the sector for the first time since 2014. In a sense, capital discipline is making the energy sector an investment, not just a trade.


 

 

The Fund’s total returns for Class A, C, and I shares were -9.58%*, -9.79%*, and -9.08%*, respectively, for the six-months ended January 31, 2020, compared to returns of -12.37%, -11.55%, and 8.72% for the Morningstar Equity Energy Category, the S&P Composite 1500 Energy Index, and the S&P Composite 1500 Index, respectively. Aiding relative performance was an overweight allocation to pipelines, as well as selection within pipelines. Detracting from the Fund’s performance relative to its Morningstar category was oilfield service selection.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (unaudited)

 

NOTE 1: Organization

The Integrity Funds (the “Trust”) was organized as a Delaware statutory trust on October 31, 1997 and commenced operations on October 31, 1997. The Trust is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940 as an open-end management investment company, consisting of six series (the “Funds”).

 

Integrity Dividend Harvest Fund (the “Dividend Harvest Fund”), a non-diversified fund, seeks high current income with long term appreciation as a secondary objective. Integrity Energized Dividend Fund (the “Energized Dividend Fund”), a non-diversified fund, seeks long-term appreciation while providing high current income. Integrity Growth & Income Fund (the “Growth & Income Fund”), a diversified fund, seeks to provide long-term growth of capital with dividend income as a secondary objective. Integrity High Income Fund (the “High Income Fund”), a non-diversified fund, seeks a high level of current income with capital appreciation as a secondary objective. Integrity Mid-North American Resources Fund (the “MNA Resources Fund”), a diversified fund, seeks to provide long-term growth through capital appreciation.

 

Each Fund in the Trust currently offers Class A, C, and I shares. The Class A shares of Dividend Harvest Fund, Energized Dividend Fund, Growth & Income Fund, High Income Fund, and MNA Resources Fund are sold with an initial sales charge of 5.00%, 5.00%, 5.00%, 4.25%, and 5.00%, respectively, and a distribution fee of up to 0.25% on an annual basis. Class C shares are sold without a sales charge and are subject to a distribution fee of up to 1.00% on an annual basis. Class I shares are sold without a sales charge or distribution fee. The three classes of shares represent interest in each Fund’s same portfolio of investments, have the same rights, and are generally identical in all respects except that each class bears its separate distribution and certain other class expenses and has exclusive voting rights with respect to any matter on which a separate vote of any class is required.

 

Each Fund is an investment company and, accordingly, follows the investment company accounting and reporting guidance of the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Accounting Standard Codification Topic 946 Financial Services – Investment Companies.

 

NOTE 2: Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Investment security valuation—Securities for which market quotations are available are valued as follows: (a) Listed securities are valued at the closing price obtained from the respective primary exchange on which the security is listed or, if there were no sales on that day, at its last reported current bid price; (b) Unlisted securities are valued at the last current bid price obtained from the National Association of Securities Dealers’ Automated Quotation System. The Funds’ administrative services agent, Integrity Fund Services, LLC (“Integrity Fund Services” or “IFS”) obtains all of these prices from services that collect and disseminate such market prices. Prices provided by an independent pricing service may be determined without exclusive reliance on quoted prices and may take into account appropriate factors such as: institutional-size trading in similar groups of securities, yield, quality, coupon rate, maturity, type of issue, trading characteristics, and other market data. In the absence of an ascertainable market value, assets are valued at their fair value as determined by IFS using methods and procedures reviewed and approved by the Board of Trustees. Refer to Note 4 for further disclosures related to the inputs used to value the Funds’ investments. Shares of a registered investment company, including money market funds, that are not traded on an exchange are valued at the investment company’s net asset value per share.

 

When-issued securities—The Funds may purchase securities on a when-issued basis. Payment and delivery may take place after the customary settlement period for that security. The price of the underlying securities and the date when the securities will be delivered and paid for are fixed at the time the transaction is negotiated. The values of the securities purchased on a when-issued basis are identified as such in each Fund’s Schedule of Investments. With respect to purchase commitments, the Fund identifies securities as segregated in its custodial records with a value at least equal to the amount of the commitment. Losses may arise due to changes in the value of the underlying securities, if the counterparty does not perform under the contract’s terms, or if the issuer does not issue the securities due to political, economic, or other factors.

 

Contingent deferred sales charge—Class A shares of $1 million or more may be subject to a 1.00% contingent deferred sales charge (“CDSC”) if redeemed within 24 months of purchase (excluding shares purchased with reinvested dividends and/or distributions). Investments in Class C shares (in any amount) may be subject to a 1.00% CDSC if redeemed within 12 months of purchase.

 

Federal and state income taxes—Each Fund is a separate taxpayer for federal income tax purposes. Each Fund’s policy is to comply with the requirements of the Internal Revenue Code that are applicable to regulated investment companies and to distribute substantially all of its net investment income and any net realized gain on investments to its shareholders; therefore, no provision for income taxes is required.

 

As of and during the year ended July 31, 2019, the Funds did not have a liability for any unrecognized tax benefits. The Funds recognize interest and penalties, if any, related to unrecognized tax benefits as income tax expense in the statement of operations. During the year ended July 31, 2019, the Funds did not incur any interest or penalties.

 


 

For all open tax years and all major taxing jurisdictions, management of the Funds has concluded that there are no significant uncertain tax positions that would require recognition in the financial statements. Open tax years, which include the current and prior three tax years, are open for examination by taxing authorities. Furthermore, management of the Funds is also not aware of any tax positions for which it is reasonably possible that the total amounts of unrecognized tax benefits will significantly change in the next twelve months.

 

Premiums and discounts—Premiums and discounts on debt securities are accreted and amortized using the effective yield method over the lives of the respective securities.

 

Cash and cash equivalents—The Funds consider investments in an FDIC insured interest bearing savings account to be cash. The Fund maintains balances, which, at times, may exceed federally insured limits. The Fund maintains these balances with a high quality financial institution.

 

Security transactions, investment income, expenses and distributions—Income and expenses are recorded on the accrual basis. Investment transactions are accounted for on the trade date. Realized gains and losses are reported on the specific identification basis. Interest income and estimated expenses are accrued daily. Dividend income is recognized on the ex-dividend date. Withholding taxes on foreign dividends have been provided for in accordance with the Funds’ understanding of the applicable countries’ tax rules and regulations. Dividend Harvest Fund and Energized Dividend Fund will declare and pay dividends from net investment income monthly. MNA Resources Fund will declare and pay dividends from net investment income quarterly. Growth & Income Fund will declare and pay dividends from net investment income at least annually. The High Income Fund declares dividends from net investment income daily and pays such dividends monthly. Dividends are reinvested in additional shares of the Funds at net asset value or paid in cash. Capital gains, when available, are distributed at least annually. Distributions to shareholders are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Income and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance with federal income tax regulations and may differ from net investment income and realized gains determined in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”). These differences are primarily due to differing treatments for capital loss carryforwards and losses due to wash sales. In addition, other amounts have been reclassified within the composition of net assets to more appropriately conform financial accounting to tax basis treatment.

 

Permanent book and tax basis differences relating to shareholder distributions will result in reclassifications to paid-in capital. Temporary book and tax basis differences will reverse in a subsequent period.

 

Use of estimates—The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with GAAP, which requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

 

Common expenses—Common expenses of the Trust are allocated among the Funds within the Trust based on relative net assets of each Fund or the nature of the services performed and the relative applicability to each Fund.

 

Multiple class allocations—The High Income Fund simultaneously uses the settled shares method to allocate income and fund-wide expenses and uses the relative net assets method to allocate gains and losses. Dividend Harvest Fund, Energized Dividend Fund, Growth & Income Fund, and MNA Resources Fund use the relative net assets method to allocate income, fund-wide expenses, gains and losses. Class-specific expenses, distribution fees, and any other items that are specifically attributable to a particular class are charged directly to such class.

 

Illiquid securities—A security may be considered to be illiquid if it has a limited trading market. Securities are generally considered to be liquid if they can be sold or disposed of in the ordinary course of business within seven days at approximately the price at which the security is valued by the Funds. These securities are valued at fair value as described above. Each Fund intends to hold no more than 15% of its net assets in illiquid securities. Of the illiquid securities listed on the Schedule of Investments, the following securities are considered to be restricted as of January 31, 2020:

NOTE 3: Acquisition of Funds

On January 17, 2020, Integrity Dividend Harvest Fund acquired all the net assets of M.D. Sass Equity Income Plus Fund pursuant to the Plan of Reorganization approved by M.D. Sass Equity Income Plus Fund on July 22, 2019.

 


 

The acquisition of M.D. Sass Equity Income Plus Fund was accomplished by a tax-free exchange of 9,056 shares of Integrity Dividend Harvest Fund Class A (valued at $132,667) for 11,552 shares of M.D. Sass Equity Income Plus Fund Investor Class and 1,590,201 shares of Integrity Dividend Harvest Fund Class I (valued at $23,328,248) for 2,028,807 shares of M.D. Sass Equity Income Plus Fund Institutional Class outstanding on January 17, 2020. M.D. Sass Equity Income Plus Fund’s net assets on that date of $23,460,925 ($132,667 Investor Class and $23,328,248 Institutional Class), including $1,680,047 of unrealized appreciation, were combined with those of Integrity Dividend Harvest Fund. The aggregate net assets of the Integrity Dividend Harvest Fund Class A and Class I and M.D. Sass Equity Income Plus Fund Investor Class and Institutional Class before the acquisition were $97,993,541, $39,407,271, $132,667, and $23,328,248, respectively.

 

The Integrity Dividend Harvest Fund elected to maintain the tax cost basis of the investments acquired in the acquisition to align reporting of realized and unrealized gains and losses with amounts distributable to shareholders for tax purposes.

 

NOTE 4: Fair Value Measurements

Various inputs are used in determining the value of the Funds’ investments. These inputs are summarized in three broad levels: Level 1 inputs are based on quoted prices in active markets for identical securities. Level 2 inputs are based on significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.). Level 3 inputs are based on significant unobservable inputs (including the Funds’ own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments). The following is a summary of the inputs used to value the Funds’ investments as of January 31, 2020:

NOTE 8: Investment Advisory Fees and Other Transactions with Affiliates

Viking Fund Management (“VFM”), the Funds’ investment adviser; Integrity Funds Distributor, LLC (“Integrity Funds Distributor” or “IFD”), the Funds’ underwriter and distributor; and Integrity Fund Services, the Funds’ transfer, accounting, and administrative services agent; are subsidiaries of Corridor Investors, LLC (“Corridor Investors” or “Corridor”), the Funds’ sponsor. For Integrity High Income Fund, JPMIM is the sub-adviser. A Trustee of the Funds is also a Governor of Corridor.

 

VFM provides investment advisory and management services to the Funds. The Investment Advisory Agreement (the “Advisory Agreement”) provides for fees to be computed at an annual rate of each Fund’s average daily net assets. VFM has also contractually agreed to waive its management fee and to reimburse expenses, other than extraordinary or non-recurring expenses, taxes, brokerage fees, commissions and acquired fund fees and expenses, so that the net annual operating expenses do not exceed a certain rate. After November 29, 2020, the expense limitations may be terminated or revised.

VFM and affiliated service providers may also voluntarily waive fees or reimburse expenses not required under the advisory or other contracts from time to time. Accordingly, after voluntary and contractual fee waivers and reimbursements, the Energized Dividend Fund’s actual total expenses for Class A, C, and I were 0.95%, 1.69%, and 0.72%, respectively, of average daily net assets for the six months ended January 31, 2020. VFM and the affiliated service providers have agreed to voluntarily waive the affiliated service provider’s fees before voluntarily or contractually waiving VFM’s management fee. There are no recoupment provisions in place for waived/reimbursed fees. An expense limitation lowers expense ratios and increases returns to investors. Certain Officers of the Funds are also Officers and Governors of VFM.

IFD serves as the principal underwriter and distributor for the Funds and receives sales charges deducted from Fund share sales proceeds and CDSC from applicable Fund share redemptions. Also, the Funds have adopted a distribution plan for each class of shares as allowed by Rule 12b-1 of the 1940 Act. Distribution plans permit the Funds to reimburse its principal underwriter for costs related to selling shares of the Funds and for various other services. These costs, which consist primarily of commissions and service fees to broker-dealers who sell shares of the Funds, are paid by shareholders through expenses called “Distribution Plan expenses.” The Funds currently pay an annual distribution fee and/or service fee of up to 0.25% (0.50% for MNA Resources Fund) for Class A and 1.00% for Class C of the average daily net assets. Class I shares do not have a 12b-1 plan in place. Certain Officers of the Funds are also Officers and Governors of IFD.

NOTE 9: Principal Risks

The High Income Fund may be invested in lower-rated debt securities that have a higher risk of default or loss of value since these securities may be sensitive to economic changes, political changes or adverse developments specific to the issuer.

 

The MNA Resources Fund invests significantly in relatively few sectors, primarily the energy sector, and has more exposure to the price movement of this sector than funds that diversify their investments among many sectors.

 

NOTE 10: Subsequent Events

The Funds are required to recognize in the financial statements the effects of all subsequent events that provide additional evidence about conditions that existed at the date of the Statements of Assets and Liabilities. For non-recognized subsequent events that must be disclosed to keep the financial statements from being misleading, the Funds are required to disclose the nature of the event as well as an estimate of its financial effect, or a statement that such an estimate cannot be made. Management has evaluated the impact of all subsequent events on the Funds through the issuance date of these financial statements and has noted no such events requiring disclosure.

 

NOTE 11. Recent Accounting Pronouncements:

In March 2017, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards (“ASU”) Update No. 2017-08 “Premium Amortization on Purchased Callable Debt Securities” (“ASU 2017-08”), which shortens the premium amortization period for purchased non-contingently callable debt securities. ASU 2017-08 specifies that the premium amortization period ends at the earliest call date, for purchased non-contingently callable debt securities. ASU 2017-08 is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2018. Management does not believe that adoption of ASU 2017-08 will materially impact the Funds’ financial statements.

 

In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-13, “Fair Value Measurements” (“ASU 2018-13”). This update makes certain removals from, changes to and additions to existing disclosure requirements for fair value measurements. ASU 2018-13 does not change fair value measurements already required or permitted by existing standards. ASU 2018-13 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, and interim periods within those fiscal years. As permitted, the Funds have early adopted ASU 2018-13 with the financial statements prepared as of July 31, 2019.

 

In August 2018, the SEC adopted amendments to certain financial statement disclosure requirements to conform them to GAAP for investment companies. These amendments made certain disclosure requirements effective under Regulation S-X. The Funds’ adoption of these amendments, effective with the financial statements prepared as of July 31, 2019 had no effect on the Funds’ net assets or results of operations.

EXPENSE EXAMPLE (unaudited)

 

As a shareholder of the Funds, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including sales charges (loads), redemption fees and exchange fees; and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees, distribution (12b-1) fees and other Funds expenses. This example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds. The example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the one-half year period shown below and held for the entire one-half year period.

 

The section in the table under the heading “Actual” provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in these columns together with the amount you invested to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an account value of $8,600 divided by $1,000 equals 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the appropriate column for your share class in the column entitled “Expenses Paid During Period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.

 

The section in the table under the heading “Hypothetical (5% return before expenses)” provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Funds’ actual expense ratios and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Funds’ actual returns. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Funds and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds.

 

Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transactional costs, such as sales charges (loads), redemption fees, or exchange fees. Therefore, the section in the table under the heading “Hypothetical (5% return before expenses)” is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transactional costs were included, your costs would have been higher.

BOARD APPROVAL OF INVESTMENT ADVISORY AGREEMENT (unaudited)

 

At a meeting held on November 2, 2018, the Board of Trustees (the “Board” or the “Trustees”) of the Integrity Funds (the “Trust”), including a majority of the trustees who are not parties to such investment advisory or sub-advisory agreement or “interested persons” of any such party (the “Independent Trustees”), renewed the Investment Advisory Agreement (the “Advisory Agreement”), between the Trust, on behalf of its series (each, a Fund, and together, the “Funds”), and Viking Fund Management, LLC (“Viking” or the “Adviser”) and the Investment Sub-Advisory Agreement (the “Sub-Advisory Agreement”), between the Adviser and J.P. Morgan Investment Management Inc. (“JPMIM” or the “Sub-Adviser”) with respect to Integrity High Income Fund. The Board considered information received and discussions held at the November 2, 2018 Board meeting and, with respect to the Independent Trustees, discussions held at the October 12, 2018 meeting of the Governance Committee.

 

In determining whether it was appropriate to renew the Advisory Agreement and the Sub-Advisory Agreement with respect to Integrity High Income Fund, the Trustees requested and reviewed information, provided by the Adviser and Sub-Adviser, that they believed to be reasonably necessary to reach their conclusion. The Independent Trustees also received advice from their independent counsel on the issues to focus on during contract renewals. In connection with the renewal of the Advisory and Sub-Advisory Agreements for each Fund, the Board reviewed factors set out in judicial decisions and Securities and Exchange Commission disclosure rules relating to the renewal of advisory contracts, which include, but are not limited to, the following:

 

 

 

 

(a)

the nature, extent and quality of services provided by the Adviser to the Fund;

 

 

 

 

(b)

the various personnel furnishing such services and their duties and qualifications;

 

 

 

 

(c)

the Fund’s investment performance as compared to standardized industry performance data;

 

 

 

 

(d)

the Adviser’s costs and profitability of furnishing the investment management services to the Fund;

 

 

 

 

(e)

the extent to which the Adviser realizes economies of scale as the Fund grows larger and whether fee levels reflect these economies of scale for the benefit of fund shareholders;

 

 

 

 

(f)

information with respect to all benefits to the Adviser associated with its relationship with the Fund, including an analysis of so-called “fallout” benefits or indirect profits to the Adviser from its relationship to the Fund.

 

In evaluating the Adviser’s services and fees, among other information, the Trustees reviewed information concerning the performance of each Fund, the recent financial statements of the Adviser, and the advisory fees and other Fund expenses compared to advisory fees and expenses paid by other similar funds. In reviewing the Advisory Agreement with the Funds, the Trustees considered, among other things, the advisory fees, the Funds’ past performance, the nature, extent and quality of the services provided, the profitability of the Adviser and its affiliates that provide services to the Funds (costs and profits from furnishing services to each Fund), and the contractual expense limitations agreed to by the Adviser with respect to Fund expenses. The Trustees also considered any ancillary benefits to the Adviser and its affiliates for services provided to each Fund. The Trustees did not identify any single factor discussed above as all-important or controlling. The Trustees also considered the Adviser’s commitment to contractually or voluntarily limit Fund expenses, skills and capabilities of the Adviser and the representations from the Adviser that the Funds’ portfolio managers will continue to manage each Fund in substantially the same way as it had been managed.

 

The following paragraphs summarize the material information and factors considered by the Trustees, including the Independent Trustees, as well as their conclusions relative to such factors in considering the renewal of the Advisory Agreement:

 

Nature, extent and quality of services. The Board considered that the Adviser currently provides services to 11 funds with investment strategies ranging from non-diversified sector funds to broad-based equity funds to municipal funds. The Board also considered that the Adviser has a strong culture of compliance and provides quality services. The Board noted that the experience and expertise of the Adviser are attributable to the long-term focus on managing investment companies and have the potential to enhance the Funds’ future performance. Based on the information provided, the Board determined that the overall nature, extent and quality of the services provided by the Adviser have historically been, and continue to be, adequate and appropriate.

 

Investment performance. Upon a review of the total return history and category rankings of each Fund, according to Morningstar data, the Board determined that the performance of each Fund was satisfactory and that each Fund has been meeting its investment objective(s). In this regard, the Board made the following observations:

 

As of July 31, 2018, the Morningstar risk rating for Class A shares of: (1) Integrity Growth & Income Fund was average for the 3- and 5-year periods and below average for the 10-year period; (2) Williston Basin/Mid-North America Stock Fund was average for the 3-year period and below average for the 5- and 10-year periods; (3) Integrity High Income Fund was above average for the 3-year period, average for the 5-year period, and high for the 10-year period; (4) Integrity Dividend Harvest Fund was low for the 3- and 5-year periods; and (5) Integrity Energized Dividend Fund was not available because the Fund launched on May 2, 2016.


 

 

As of July 31, 2018, the Morningstar return rating for Class A shares of: (1) Integrity Growth & Income Fund was below average for the 3-, 5- and 10-year periods; (2) Williston Basin/Mid-North America Stock Fund was average for the 3-year period, above average for the 5-year period, and high for the 10-year period; (3) Integrity High Income Fund was above average for the 3-year period and average for the 5- and 10-year periods; (4) Integrity Dividend Harvest Fund was average for the 3- and 5-year periods; and (5) Integrity Energized Dividend Fund was not available because the Fund launched on May 2, 2016.

 

As of July 31, 2018, the Fund performance for Class A shares of: (1) Integrity Growth & Income Fund was below its index for the 1-, 3-, 5- and 10-year periods, above its category median for the 1-year period, and below its category median for the 3-, 5- and 10-year periods; (2) Williston Basin/Mid-North America Stock Fund was below its index for the 1- 3- and 5-year periods, and above its index for the 10-year period, below its category median for the 1-and 3-year periods, and above its category median for the 5- and 10-year periods; (3) Integrity High Income Fund was above its index and category median for the 1-, 3-, 5- and 10-year periods; (4) Integrity Dividend Harvest Fund was below its index for the 1-, 3- and 5-year periods, below its category median for the 1-year period, and above its category median for the 3- and 5-year periods; and (5) Integrity Energized Dividend Fund was above its index and category median for the 1-year period.

 

Profitability. In connection with its review of advisory fees, the Board also considered the profitability to the Adviser and its affiliates of their relationship to the Funds. In this regard, the Board received information regarding the financial condition of the Adviser and the distributor for the calendar year ended December 31, 2017 and the six months ended June 30, 2018. The Board also received Fund-by-Fund profitability information, which included fees and expenses of the Adviser as well as the affiliated distributor and transfer agent. Based on the information provided, the Board concluded that the level of profitability under the Advisory Agreements was not unreasonable in light of the services provided and taking into account fees and expenses of affiliated service providers to the Funds.

 

Economies of scale. The Board considered whether there were economies of scale with respect to management of the Funds and whether the Funds would benefit from any economies of scale. In this regard, the Board considered information regarding each Fund’s size and that the size of the Fund had not reached an asset level to benefit from economies of scale. The Board also noted that each Fund’s expenses are managed pursuant to a contractual expense limitation. The Board noted a general decline in assets since the last contract renewal, as a result of adverse market developments in connection with the Department of Labor’s fiduciary rule. The Board determined that the advisory fees are structured appropriately based on the size of the Funds.

 

Analysis of the rates charged by other investment advisers to similar funds. The Board considered that a comparison of the advisory fees charged by the Adviser with respect to the Funds to advisory fees charged by other investment advisers to other funds with a similar investment strategy and size, as compiled by the Adviser, reflected that the fees charged by the Adviser are comparable to those charged by other investment advisers to other similar funds.

 

Expense ratios of the Fund as compared to data for comparable funds. The Board considered that a comparison of the net annual operating expense for Class A and Class C shares of each Fund to other funds with a similar investment strategy and size, as compiled by the Adviser, reflected that (1) the net operating expense ratio of 0.89% for Class A shares and 1.64% for Class C shares of Integrity High Income Fund is comparable to that of other similar funds; (2) the net operating expense ratio of 1.25% for Class A shares and 2.00% for Class C shares of Integrity Growth & Income Fund is comparable to that of other similar funds; (3) the net operating expense ratio of 0.95% for Class A shares and 1.70% for Class C shares of Integrity Dividend Harvest Fund is comparable to that of other similar funds; (4) the net operating expense ratio of 1.47% for Class A shares and 1.97% for Class C shares of Williston Basin/Mid-North America Stock Fund is comparable to that of other similar funds; and (5) the net operating expense ratio of 1.05% for Class A shares and 1.80% for Class C shares of Integrity Energized Dividend Fund is comparable to that of other similar funds.

 

Information with respect to all benefits to the Adviser associated with the Fund, including an analysis of so-called “fallout” benefits or indirect profits to the Adviser from its relationship to the Fund. The Board noted that the Adviser and its affiliates do not realize material direct benefits from their relationship to the Funds except for fees earned for services provided. The Board considered that the Adviser uses an internal model to provide services to the Funds and that the Adviser or its affiliates provide most services to the Funds including distribution and transfer agency services. In addition, the Board considered the Adviser’s soft dollar arrangements with respect to securities trading in the Funds (other than Integrity High Income Fund), noting that the Adviser obtains research, security data, analytics and portfolio screening through such arrangements. With respect to Integrity High Income Fund, the Board noted that the Adviser currently engages the Sub-Adviser, and therefore will not benefit from the use of soft dollars. The Board considered the forgoing in reaching its conclusion that the advisory fees are reasonable.

 

In voting unanimously to renew the Advisory Agreement, the Board did not identify any single factor as being of paramount importance. The Board noted that its discussion in this regard was premised on numerous factors including the nature, extent and quality of the services provided by Viking, Viking’s resources, the strategic plan involving the Funds, and the potential for increased distribution and growth of the Funds. The Board unanimously determined that, after considering all relevant factors, the renewal of the Advisory Agreement is in the best interests of each of the Funds and that the advisory fees are reasonable in light of the nature, extent and quality of services provided by the Adviser.


 

 

Sub-Advisory Agreement with JPMIM

 

In determining whether it was appropriate to renew the Sub-Advisory Agreement between the Adviser and JPMIM with respect to Integrity High Income Fund, the Trustees requested and reviewed information, provided by JPMIM, that they believed to be reasonably necessary to reach their conclusion. The following paragraphs summarize the material information and factors considered by the Trustees, including the Independent Trustees, as well as their conclusions relative to such factors in considering the renewal of the Sub-Advisory Agreement:

 

Nature, extent and quality of services. In reviewing the Sub-Advisory Agreement, the Board considered the nature, extent and quality of services provided by JPMIM. In this regard, the Board considered that, under the Sub-Advisory Agreement, JPMIM is responsible for investment decision-making, brokerage and execution, risk management and compliance, while the Adviser is responsible for regulatory filings, proxy voting, marketing and distribution, and risk management and compliance oversight. The Board noted the history and investment experience of JPMIM and reviewed the qualifications, background and responsibilities of its portfolio managers and certain other relevant personnel. The Board considered JPMIM’s significant expertise in managing high yield corporate bond portfolios and investment style. The Board also considered the reputation and resources of JPMIM. In light of the information presented and the considerations made, the Board concluded that the nature, extent and quality of services provided to the Fund by JPMIM are satisfactory.

 

Analysis of the rates charged by Sub-Adviser to similar funds. The Board considered that a comparison of the sub-advisory fees paid to JPMIM as compared to fees paid by other similar funds and accounts sub-advised by JPMIM reflected that the fees charged by the Sub-Adviser to the Fund are comparable to those charged by the Sub-Adviser to other similar funds and accounts. Based on the information provided, the Board concluded that the sub-advisory fees are reasonable in light of the nature, extent and quality of services provided by the Sub-Adviser.

 

Profitability. The Board received and considered financial statements of JPMIM. The Board considered that JPMIM was part of a large global organization and that the revenues from its relationship with the Fund constituted a relatively small portion of its overall revenues. Accordingly, the Board determined that the profitability to JPMIM was not a material factor in its consideration and it evaluated profitability at the overall Fund level.

 

Information with respect to all benefits to the Sub-Adviser associated with the Fund, including an analysis of so-called “fallout” benefits or indirect profits to the Sub-Adviser from its relationship to the Fund. The Board noted that the Sub-Adviser does not realize material direct benefits from its relationship to the Fund except for fees earned for services provided as sub-adviser. The Board also considered that the Sub-Adviser does not participate in soft dollar arrangements from securities trading in the Fund or receive other indirect benefits from its relationship with the Fund. The Board considered the foregoing in reaching its conclusion that the sub-advisory fees are reasonable.

 

In voting unanimously to renew the Sub-Advisory Agreement, the Trustees did not identify any single factor as being of paramount importance. The Trustees noted that their discussion in this regard was premised on numerous factors including the nature, extent and quality of the services provided by JPMIM, JPMIM’s resources, the strategic plan involving the Fund, and the potential for increased distribution and growth of the Fund. The Trustees unanimously determined that, after considering all relevant factors, the renewal of the Sub-Advisory Agreement is in the best interests of the Fund and that the sub-advisory fees are reasonable in light of the nature, extent and quality of services provided by the Sub-Adviser.
