Manager
Commentary
The
story
of
the
past
12
months
begins
and
ends
with
the
Federal
Reserve,
with
inflation
as
the
antagonist.
With
headline
CPI
over
8%,
the
Fed
finally
raised
its
target
overnight
rate
by
25
basis
points
(bps)
in
March
2022,
to
a
range
of
0.25%-0.50%.
Over
the
subsequent
year,
the
Fed
raised
rates
at
every
single
meeting
and
made
it
abundantly
clear
that
bringing
down
inflation
was
the
objective.
By
the
end
of
the
fiscal
year
in
March
2023,
the
Fed
had
raised
its
target
rate
by
450
bps,
the
most
rapid
increase
in
the
fed
funds
rate
since
Paul
Volcker
ran
the
Fed
in
the
early
1980s.
The
reason
for
the
hurried
approach
was
of
course
inflation,
which
remained
well
above
the
Fed’s
2%
target,
even
though
it
began
to
trend
lower
in
the
back
half
of
the
year.
Somewhat
surprisingly,
in
the
face
of
historically
swift
monetary
tightening
the
economy
performed
relatively
well.
Consumer
spending
decelerated
but
remained
healthy
and
confidence
surveys
showed
resilience.
The
labor
market
was
without
question
the
bright
spot
as
monthly
job
gains
from
the
Establishment
survey
averaged
350,000
over
the
past
year
and
the
unemployment
rate
ended
the
period
at
3.6%.
Business
spending
and
housing-related
activity
were
the
weak
links
in
the
economy,
as
industrial
production
figures
slowed
meaningfully,
and
home
builder
sentiment
dropped
to
the
lowest
level
since
the
depths
of
the
pandemic
in
early
2020.
While
the
real
economy
held
its
own,
the
financial
economy
was
under
stress.
As
the
old
Wall
Street
adage
goes,
the
Fed
raises
rates
until
something
breaks—and
it
may
have
happened
at
the
end
of
the
fiscal
year.
Indeed,
Silicon
Valley
Bank
(SVB)
and
Signature
Bank
both
failed
in
March,
with
SVB
being
one
of
the
largest
bank
failures
in
history
(surpassed
only
by
Washington
Mutual
during
the
global
financial
crisis
in
2008).
As
the
Federal
Reserve
drove
short-term
yields
higher,
the
US
Treasury
curve
flattened
further
and
inverted
to
historically
negative
levels.
The
2-year
yield
rose
169
bps
to
close
at
4.03%
while
the
10-year
yield
rose
113
bps
to
end
at
3.47%.
As
in
the
previous
year,
the
largest
driver
of
return
in
the
fixed
income
market
over
the
last
12
months
was
the
significant
move
higher
in
bond
yields.
As
yields
rose,
the
U.S.
Treasury
Index
fell
4.5%
for
the
year.
The
best
performing
area
in
fixed
income
was
the
corporate
bond
market,
which
eked
out
a
positive
excess
return
over
similar-maturity
treasuries
of
+0.27%.
This
masks
some
divergence
within
the
sector
however,
as
financial
bonds
underperformed
on
the
heels
of
the
SVB-induced
banking
crisis,
while
industrial
corporates
performed
quite
well.
All
other
sectors
underperformed
US
Treasuries,
with
ABS
posting
a
-0.5%
excess
return
(loss),
agency
CMBS
with
a
-0.46%
excess
return,
agency
MBS
at
-2.15%
and
non-agency
CMBS
coming
in
last
with
a
-2.46%
excess
return.
Contrary
to
the
previous
year,
Treasury
Inflation
Protected
Securities
(TIPS)
underperformed
their
nominal
counterparts
over
the
prior
12-months
as
inflation
expectations
fell
and
real
yields
rose.
The
Tributary
Short-Intermediate
Bond
Fund
returned
+.05%
(net,
Institutional
Plus)
for
the
year
ended
March
31,
2023,
compared
to
+.26%
for
the
Bloomberg
U.S.
Government/Credit
1-3
Year
Index.
The
Fund
underperformed
the
benchmark
this
year
due
primarily
to
our
sector
allocation
decision
and
overweight
exposure
to
the
non-agency
CMBS
and
ABS
sectors.
The
non-agency
sectors
underperformed
as
liquidity
in
the
market
was
strained
and
concerns
grew
about
the
fundamental
outlook
for
the
commercial
real-
estate
sector.
On
the
positive
side,
our
yield
advantage
over
the
benchmark
contributed
positively
to
return,
as
did
our
curve
positioning
due
to
our
underweight
exposure
to
the
2-year
portion
of
the
curve.
During
the
year
we
increased
the
Fund’s
allocation
to
the
U.S.
Treasury
sector,
given
our
view
that
caution
and
prudence
were
appropriate.
We
reduced
our
exposure
to
the
structured
product
market,
primarily
due
to
paydowns
in
the
RMBS
and
CMBS
sectors
that
were
reinvested
in
other
areas.
We
also
allowed
our
exposure
to
the
corporate
credit
market
to
decline
with
bond
calls
and
maturities,
as
spreads
didn’t
offer
a
compelling
value
proposition
for
significant
new
additions.
With
respect
to
specific
activity
worth
mentioning,
we
purchased
several
new-issue
equipment
loan
ABS
securities.
The
shorter-
average
life
profile,
strong
credit
characteristics,
and
attractive
spreads
on
offer
made
for
compelling
investments.
In
terms
of
credit
quality
there
was
no
significant
change
during
the
year,
as
the
Fund
maintained
a
Aa2
weighted
average
credit
rating.
As
the
fiscal
year
closed,
the
divergence
between
the
market’s
and
the
Fed’s
assessment
of
the
economic
and
policy
outlook
could
hardly
have
been
larger.
The
market
is
pricing
nearly
75bps
of
rate
cuts
by
December,
even
as
the
Federal
Reserve’s
dot
plot
(released
after
the
SVB
failure)
indicates
their
intention
to
hold
rates
steady
thru
the
end
of
the
year.
There
is
similar
divergence
of
opinion
within
the
market
concerning
the
trajectory
of
inflation
and
the
real
economy,
with
good
arguments
and
data
points
on
both
sides.
Given
recent
events
in
the
banking
sector
and
the
inevitable
tightening
in
lending
conditions,
we
would
be
more
sympathetic
to
the
weaker
growth/
lower
inflation
camp;
but
that
is
not
a
terribly
high-conviction
belief.
As
such
we
are
still
relatively
cautious
and
aligned
more
risk-neutral
with
respect
to
our
benchmarks.
In
terms
of
portfolio
positioning,
we
are
neutral
to
the
benchmark
with
respect
to
duration
as
the
likelihood
of
higher
or
lower
yields
is
still
balanced
in
our
estimation.
Following
the
widening
in
March,
spread
sector
valuations
remain
on
the
cheaper
side
from
a
historical
perspective,
but
the
potential
for
significant
underperformance
in
a
recessionary
environment
leaves
us
guarded.
We
believe
that
patience
now
could
pay
solid
dividends
over
the
coming
months.
With
regards
to
sector
allocation,
we
remain
underweight
the
traditional
U.S.
government
sectors
and
continue
to
allow
our
agency
MBS
exposure
to
roll
off.
The
non-agency
securitized
sectors
remain
our
biggest
overweight
relative
to
the
benchmark.
While
we
continue
to
be
comfortable
with
our
holdings
in
this
space
given
strong
collateral
and
credit
enhancements,
the
macro
and
sector-specific
headwinds
are
real
and
growing.
As
such
our
performance
expectations
have
dimmed
somewhat,
and
we
may
look
to
reduce
exposure
opportunistically
over
the
coming
months.
In
the
corporate
credit
sector,
we
continue
to
hold
a
slight
overweight,
primarily
in
the
industrial
subsector,
with
a
neutral
exposure
to
financials
and
an
underweight
in
the
utility
subsector.

confidence
surveys
showed
resilience.
The
labor
market
was
without
question
the
bright
spot
as
monthly
job
gains
from
the
Establishment
survey
averaged
350,000
over
the
past
year
and
the
unemployment
rate
ended
the
period
at
3.6%.
Business
spending
and
housing-related
activity
were
the
weak
links
in
the
economy,
as
industrial
production
figures
slowed
meaningfully,
and
home
builder
sentiment
dropped
to
the
lowest
level
since
the
depths
of
the
pandemic
in
early
2020.
While
the
real
economy
held
its
own,
the
financial
economy
was
under
stress.
As
the
old
Wall
Street
adage
goes,
the
Fed
raises
rates
until
something
breaks—and
it
may
have
happened
at
the
end
of
the
fiscal
year.
Indeed,
Silicon
Valley
Bank
(SVB)
and
Signature
Bank
both
failed
in
March,
with
SVB
being
one
of
the
largest
bank
failures
in
history
(surpassed
only
by
Washington
Mutual
during
the
global
financial
crisis
in
2008).
As
the
Federal
Reserve
drove
short-term
yields
higher,
the
US
Treasury
curve
flattened
further
and
inverted
to
historically
negative
levels.
The
2-year
yield
rose
169
bps
to
close
at
4.03%
while
the
30-year
yield
rose
120
bps
to
end
at
3.65%.
As
in
the
previous
year,
the
largest
driver
of
return
in
the
fixed
income
market
over
the
last
12
months
was
the
significant
move
higher
in
bond
yields.
As
yields
rose,
the
U.S.
Treasury
Index
fell
4.5%
for
the
year.
The
best
performing
area
in
fixed
income
was
the
corporate
bond
market,
which
eked
out
a
positive
excess
return
over
similar-maturity
treasuries
of
+0.27%.
This
masks
some
divergence
within
the
sector
however,
as
financial
bonds
underperformed
on
the
heels
of
the
SVB-induced
banking
crisis,
while
industrial
corporates
performed
quite
well.
All
other
sectors
underperformed
U.S.
Treasuries,
with
ABS
posting
a
-0.5%
excess
return
(loss),
agency
CMBS
with
a
-0.46%
excess
return,
agency
MBS
at
-2.15%,
and
non-agency
CMBS
coming
in
last
with
a
-2.46%
excess
return.
Contrary
to
the
previous
year,
Treasury
Inflation
Protected
Securities
(TIPS)
underperformed
their
nominal
counterparts
over
the
prior
12-months
as
inflation
expectations
fell
and
real
yields
rose.
The
Tributary
Income
Fund
returned
-4.68%
(net,
Institutional
Plus)
for
the
year
ended
March
31,
2023,
compared
to
-4.78%
for
the
Bloomberg
US
Aggregate
Bond
Index.
The
Fund
outperformed
the
benchmark
this
year
due
primarily
to
our
lower
duration
exposure
which
benefitted
as
yields
rose.
The
Fund’s
yield
curve
positioning
was
also
a
positive
contributor
given
our
lower
exposure
to
the
2-5
year
portion
of
the
curve,
while
our
yield
advantage
over
the
benchmark
continued
to
generate
positive
excess
return.
Lastly,
security
selection
was
a
modest
positive
as
bonds
in
the
industrial
corporate
and
CMBS
sectors
outperformed
their
respective
peer
groups.
On
the
negative
side,
our
sector
allocation
decision
was
the
largest
detractor
from
performance,
mostly
due
to
our
overweight
exposure
to
the
non-agency
CMBS
and
RMBS
sectors
(although
our
underweight
to
the
agency
MBS
sector
was
a
benefit).
The
non-
agency
sectors
underperformed
as
liquidity
in
the
market
was
strained
and
concerns
grew
about
the
fundamental
outlook
for
the
commercial
real-estate
sector.
During
the
year
we
increased
the
Fund’s
allocation
to
the
U.S.
Treasury
and
Agency
MBS
sectors,
given
our
view
that
caution
and
prudence
were
appropriate.
We
reduced
our
exposure
to
the
structured
product
market,
primarily
due
to
paydowns
in
the
RMBS
and
CMBS
sectors
that
were
reinvested
in
other
areas.
We
also
allowed
our
exposure
to
the
corporate
credit
market
to
decline
with
bond
calls
and
maturities,
as
spreads
didn’t
offer
a
compelling
value
proposition
for
significant
new
additions.
There
were
no
specific
transactions
worth
highlighting,
other
than
our
purchases
of
several
specified
agency
MBS
passthroughs.
In
terms
of
credit
quality
there
was
no
significant
change
during
the
year,
as
the
Fund
maintained
a
Aa2
weighted
average
credit
rating.
As
the
fiscal
year
closed,
the
divergence
between
the
market’s
and
the
Fed’s
assessment
of
the
economic
and
policy
outlook
could
hardly
have
been
larger.
The
market
is
pricing
nearly
75bps
of
rate
cuts
by
December,
even
as
the
Federal
Reserve’s
dot
plot
(released
after
the
SVB
failure)
indicates
their
intention
to
hold
rates
steady
thru
the
end
of
the
year.
There
is
similar
divergence
of
opinion
within
the
market
concerning
the
trajectory
of
inflation
and
the
real
economy,
with
good
arguments
and
data
points
on
both
sides.
Given
recent
events
in
the
banking
sector
and
the
inevitable
tightening
in
lending
conditions,
we
would
be
more
sympathetic
to
the
weaker
growth/
lower
inflation
camp;
but
that
is
not
a
terribly
high-conviction
belief.
As
such
we
are
still
relatively
cautious
and
aligned
more
risk-neutral
with
respect
to
our
benchmarks.
In
terms
of
portfolio
positioning,
we
remain
neutral
to
the
benchmark
with
respect
to
duration
as
the
likelihood
of
higher
or
lower
yields
is
still
balanced
in
our
estimation.
Following
the
widening
in
March,
spread
sector
valuations
remain
on
the
cheaper
side
from
a
historical
perspective,
but
the
potential
for
significant
underperformance
in
a
recessionary
environment
leaves
us
guarded.
We
believe
that
patience
now
could
pay
solid
dividends
over
the
coming
months.
With
regards
to
sector
allocation,
we
remain
underweight
the
traditional
U.S.
government
sectors
and
the
agency
MBS
space,
although
we
have
reduced
our
underweight
to
the
latter
and
would
expect
to
continue
adding
as
spreads
remain
relatively
wide.
The
non-agency
securitized
sectors
remain
our
biggest
overweight
relative
to
the
benchmark.
While
we
continue
to
be
comfortable
with
our
holdings
in
this
space
given
strong
collateral
and
credit
enhancements,
the
macro
and
sector-specific
headwinds
are
real
and
growing.
As
such
our
performance
expectations
have
dimmed
somewhat,
and
we
may
look
to
reduce
exposure
opportunistically
over
the
coming
months.
In
the
corporate
credit
sector,
we
continue
to
hold
a
slight
overweight,
primarily

FUND

Report

in
the
industrial
subsector,
with
a
neutral
exposure
to
financials
and
an
underweight
in
the
utility
subsector.
As
always,
we
remain
committed
to
seeking
prudent,
value-enhancing
investment
opportunities
consistent
with
our
disciplined
approach
of
managing
for
the
long-term.

Manager
Commentary
The
story
of
the
past
12
months
begins
and
ends
with
the
Federal
Reserve,
with
inflation
as
the
antagonist.
With
headline
CPI
over
8%,
the
Fed
finally
raised
its
target
overnight
rate
by
25
basis
points
(bps)
in
March
2022,
to
a
range
of
0.25%-0.50%.
Over
the
subsequent
year,
the
Fed
raised
rates
at
every
single
meeting
and
made
it
abundantly
clear
that
bringing
down
inflation
was
the
objective.
By
the
end
of
the
fiscal
year
in
March
2023,
the
Fed
had
raised
its
target
rate
by
450
bps,
the
most
rapid
increase
in
the
fed
funds
rate
since
Paul
Volcker
ran
the
Fed
in
the
early
1980s.
The
reason
for
the
hurried
approach
was
of
course
inflation,
which
remained
well
above
the
Fed’s
2%
target,
even
though
it
began
to
trend
lower
in
the
back
half
of
the
year.
Somewhat
surprisingly,
in
the
face
of
historically
swift
monetary
tightening
the
economy
performed
relatively
well.
Consumer
spending
decelerated
but
remained
healthy
and
confidence
surveys
showed
resilience.
The
labor
market
was
without
question
the
bright
spot
as
monthly
job
gains
from
the
Establishment
survey
averaged
350,000
over
the
past
year
and
the
unemployment
rate
ended
the
period
at
3.6%.
Business
spending
and
housing-related
activity
were
the
weak
links
in
the
economy,
as
industrial
production
figures
slowed
meaningfully,
and
home
builder
sentiment
dropped
to
the
lowest
level
since
the
depths
of
the
pandemic
in
early
2020.
While
the
real
economy
held
its
own,
the
financial
economy
was
under
stress.
As
the
old
Wall
Street
adage
goes,
the
Fed
raises
rates
until
something
breaks—and
it
may
have
happened
at
the
end
of
the
fiscal
year.
Indeed,
Silicon
Valley
Bank
(SVB)
and
Signature
Bank
both
failed
in
March,
with
SVB
being
one
of
the
largest
bank
failures
in
history
(surpassed
only
by
Washington
Mutual
during
the
global
financial
crisis
in
2008).
As
the
Federal
Reserve
drove
short-term
yields
higher,
the
BVAL
AAA
municipal
curve
flattened
significantly
and
inverted
on
the
front
end.
The
1-year
yield
rose
93
bps
to
close
at
2.45%,
while
the
10-year
yield
rose
only
4
bps
to
end
at
2.26%.
Due
to
the
technical
supply/demand
nature
of
the
tax-exempt
market,
the
longer-end
of
the
municipal
curve
steepened,
as
the
30-year
yield
rose
by
77
bps
close
at
3.31%.
The
primary
return
drivers
in
the
municipal
market
for
the
past
year
were
maturity
and
credit
quality.
Longer
maturities
suffered
losses
as
longer-term
yields
rose,
while
lower-rated
issuers
also
saw
their
yields
rise
as
quality
was
in
demand.
The
BBB
index
lost
-1.32%
last
year,
while
the
AA
index
rose
by
0.58%.
In
terms
of
sector
performance,
general
obligation
(GO)
bonds
outperformed
revenue
debt,
and
within
the
revenue
space,
higher
beta
issuers
such
as
hospitals
and
housing
authorities
performed
the
worst,
while
electric
utilities
were
among
the
best.
The
Tributary
Nebraska
Tax-Free
Fund
returned
0.91%
(net,
Institutional
Plus)
for
the
year
ended
March
31,
2023
compared
to
1.61%
for
the
Bloomberg
1-15
Year
Municipal
Blend
Index.
The
majority
of
the
Fund’s
underperformance
over
the
past
twelve-month
period
was
due
to
our
yield
curve
positioning
and
security
selection.
The
Fund
was
overweight
the
5-7
year
segment
of
the
curve,
and
underweight
the
10-year,
which
detracted
from
return.
Regarding
security
selection,
the
Fund
holds
an
overweight
position
in
low
(i.e.,
under
5%)
coupon
bonds
that
also
tend
to
have
shorter
call
structures,
with
both
features
being
more
prevalent
in
the
Nebraska
municipal
bond
market
than
in
other
states’
markets.
Given
the
rate
movements
over
the
year,
the
optionality
in
these
bonds
led
to
underperformance.
Partially
offsetting
the
contribution
of
these
factors
to
the
Fund’s
underperformance
was
the
Fund’s
higher
quality
bias,
as
AAA-
and
AA-rated
bonds
outperformed
lower
quality
bonds
over
the
twelve-month
period.
During
the
year
the
Fund’s
overall
sector
allocation
shifted
as
general
obligation
holdings
increased
from
42%
to
49%,
revenue
holdings
remained
stable
at
41%,
and
pre-refunded
holdings
declined
from
12%
to
2%.
The
decline
in
pre-refunded
holdings
was
primarily
to
fund
the
heavy
outflow
cycle
during
the
three-month
period
ending
December
31,
2022,
as
these
holdings
are
generally
much
more
liquid
than
the
Fund’s
other
assets.
The
increase
in
the
Fund’s
allocation
to
general
obligation
bonds
is
primarily
the
result
of
recent
additions
of
non-rated
holdings.
Due
to
the
lack
of
liquidity
being
provided
by
local
banks,
these
bonds
presented
relative
value
opportunities
as
the
deals
required
significantly
higher
yield
spreads
than
was
historically
required
to
appeal
to
investors.
Lastly,
the
Fund’s
allocation
to
non-Nebraska
municipal
bonds
increased
during
the
year
due
to
the
material
decline
in
issuance
of
Nebraska
municipal
bonds
during
the
period.
Over
time
and
as
issuance
increases,
our
intent
is
to
transition
these
holdings
back
to
Nebraska
issuers.
As
the
fiscal
year
closed,
the
divergence
between
the
market’s
and
the
Fed’s
assessment
of
the
economic
and
policy
outlook
could
hardly
have
been
larger.
The
market
is
pricing
nearly
75bps
of
rate
cuts
by
December,
even
as
the
Federal
Reserve’s
dot
plot
(released
after
the
SVB
failure)
indicates
their
intention
to
hold
rates
steady
thru
the
end
of
the
year.
There
is
similar
divergence
of
opinion
within
the
market
concerning
the
trajectory
of
inflation
and
the
real
economy,
with
good
arguments
and
data
points
on
both
sides.
Given
recent
events
in
the
banking
sector
and
the
inevitable
tightening
in
lending
conditions,
we
would
be
more
sympathetic
to
the

but
that
is
not
a
terribly
high-conviction
belief.
As
such
we
are
still
relatively
cautious
and
aligned
more
risk-neutral
with
respect
to
our
benchmarks.
Specific
to
the
Nebraska
market,
the
state’s
labor
market
remained
strong
with
an
unemployment
rate
of
2.3%
through
February,
compared
to
the
national
unemployment
rate
of
3.6%.
The
leisure
and
hospitality
sector
within
the
Nebraska
economy
continues
to
flourish.
In
Omaha,
hotel
revenue
reached
$251
million
during
2022,
a
record
for
the
city,
and
lodging
tax
collections
assessed
at
the
state
level
are
up
by
more
than
25%
since
2019,
per
the
Nebraska
Tourism
Commission.
In
general,
agricultural
commodity
prices
have
receded
from
their
peaks
reached
during
the
first
quarter
of
2022
but
remain
materially
higher
than
their
5-
and
10-year
averages,
which
continues
to
provide
strength
and
stability
to
the
heavily
agrarian
Nebraska
economy.
Overall,
the
state
continues
to
be
in
relatively
good
shape
by
nearly
every
financial
metric.
With
a
newly
elected
governor
taking
office
in
January,
a
key
factor
to
monitor
in
the
coming
months
will
be
the
restructuring
of
tax
laws
within
the
state,
as
bills
relating
to
primary
education
and
community
college
funding
have

already
been
introduced
as
a
means
of
reducing
property
tax
burdens
and
creating
a
more
efficient
government
funding
system.
We
will
be
closely
monitoring
any
negative
impacts
on
local
municipal
issuers
arising
from
these
changes.
We
remain
focused
on
uncovering
value
and
avoiding
issuers
that
face
deteriorating
credit
profiles,
ensuring
we
preserve
capital
over
the
cycle.
Consistent
with
that,
our
preference
for
higher
quality
general
obligation
and
essential-service
revenue
bonds
remains
unchanged.
As
always,
we
remain
committed
to
seeking
prudent,
value-enhancing
investment
opportunities
consistent
with
our
disciplined
approach
of
managing
for
the
long-term.

Manager
Commentary
For
the
fiscal
year
ended
March
31,
2023,
the
Tributary
Balanced
Fund
(net,
Institutional
Plus)
return
was
-4.46%.
Compared
to
the
Composite
Index
(60%
Russell
3000;
40%
Barclays
Capital
U.S.
Intermediate
Government/
Credit),
the
Fund
outperformed
the
benchmark
return
of
-5.47%.
Both
equity
and
fixed
income
absolute
returns
were
negatively
impacted
by
high
inflation
and
the
Federal
Reserve’s
aggressive
tightening
of
monetary
policy.
This
led
to
a
significant
move
higher
in
bond
yields
and
lower
valuations
in
the
stock
market.
There
were
three
primary
drivers
of
relative
performance.
First,
the
asset
allocation
exposure
to
stocks,
bonds
and
cash.
For
the
latest
fiscal
year,
the
portfolio
management
team
underweighted
equities
with
an
average
allocation
of
59.5%,
and
overweighted
bonds
with
average
exposure
of
35.9%.
As
bonds
outperformed
equities,
this
tactical
decision
had
a
positive
impact
on
relative
performance.
Second,
fixed
income
returns
negatively
impacted
relative
performance.
Individual
bond
holdings
lost
-1.75%,
slightly
behind
the
Barclays
Capital
U.S.
Intermediate
Index
return
of
-1.68%.
The
major
driver
for
the
relative
outperformance
of
the
Fund
was
strong
stock
selection.
Individual
stock
holdings
lost
-6.22%,
well
above
the
Russell
3000
Index
return
of
-8.58%.
In
equities,
9
of
11
sectors
had
positive
relative
performance,
led
by
healthcare,
consumer
discretionary,
financials,
industrials,
basic
materials
and
consumer
staples.
The
top
five
contributors
were
Lamb
Weston
(consumer
staples),
Eli
Lilly
(healthcare),
O’Reilly
Automotive
(consumer
discretionary),
Horizon
Therapeutics
(healthcare)
and
Exxon
Mobil
(energy).
Not
owning
Tesla
contributed
to
relative
returns.
Stock
selection
was
negative
in
communication
services
and
utilities.
The
bottom
five
detractors
from
performance
include
Alphabet
(information
technology),
Meta
Platforms
(communication
services),
Amazon
(consumer
discretionary),
Edwards
Lifesciences
(healthcare)
and
Sun
Communities
(real
estate).
Not
owning
Merck
negatively
impacted
relative
returns.
For
the
last
year,
our
sector
allocation
negatively
impacted
returns,
primarily
from
the
overweight
allocation
to
communication
services,
and
low
exposure
to
energy.
In
fixed
income,
the
primary
driver
of
relative
returns
over
the
past
year
was
sector
allocation
and
the
overweight
exposure
to
the
non-agency
CMBS
and
ABS
sectors.
The
non-agency
sectors
underperformed
as
liquidity
in
the
market
was
strained
and
concerns
grew
about
the
fundamental
outlook
for
the
commercial
real
estate
sector.
On
the
positive
side,
our
yield
advantage
over
the
benchmark
contributed
positively
to
returns,
as
did
our
curve
positioning
on
the
Treasury
yield
curve.
During
the
year,
we
increased
the
Fund’s
allocation
to
the
U.S.
Treasuries,
given
our
concerns
on
the
economy.
In
terms
of
credit
quality,
there
was
no
significant
change
during
the
year
as
the
Fund
maintained
a
high-quality
approach
with
an
Aa3
weighted
average
credit
rating.
The
macro-environment
remains
uncertain
with
U.S.
economic
activity
dependent
on
the
trends
in
inflation,
unemployment,
income
and
interest
rates.
Inflation
has
decelerated
somewhat
with
the
latest
consumer
price
index
(CPI)
at
5.0%,
down
from
8.5%
a
year
ago.
A
major
positive
in
the
economy
has
been
the
labor
market,
and
continued
growth
in
private
employment.
The
unemployment
rate
of
3.5%
remains
close
to
its
lowest
level
since
1969.
An
economic
downturn
seems
probable
as
most
leading
indicators
currently
point
to
a
deceleration
at
the
minimum
and/or
probable
contraction.
The
Federal
Reserve
has
been
aggressively
tightening
monetary
policy
with
the
current
Fed
Funds
rate
target
at
4.75%
-
5.0%.
This
has
resulted
in
an
inverted
yield
curve,
which
is
historically
an
accurate
predictor
of
recessions.
Due
to
a
slowing
economy
and
the
recent
failures
of
two
of
the
largest
banks
in
U.S.
history,
the
bond
market
expects
the
Fed
to
“pivot”
to
easier
monetary
policy
in
the
second
half
of
2023.
This
may
be
optimistic
as
inflation
will
likely
persist
above
the
Federal
Reserve’s
2%
target.
We
expect
continued
volatility
in
both
asset
classes
as
the
bond
and
stock
market
react
to
economic
risks.
In
terms
of
portfolio
positioning,
we
are
neutral
to
the
fixed
income
benchmark
with
respect
to
duration
as
the
likelihood
of
higher
or
lower
yields
is
balanced
in
our
estimation.
Spread
sector
valuations
remain
on
the
cheaper
side
from
a
historical
perspective,
but
the
potential
for
significant
underperformance
in
a
recessionary
environment
leaves
us
cautious.
We
plan
to
maintain
a
high-quality
portfolio
and
believe
that
patience
could
pay
solid
dividends
over
the
coming
months.
In
equities,
our
primary
concern
is
the
decline
in
the
outlook
for
earnings.
Slowing
revenue
growth,
elevated
input
costs
and
higher
interest
expenses
have
created
a
challenging
environment
for
corporate
profits.
With
an
earnings
decline
underway,
we
are
near-term
cautious
and
have
maintained
a
defensive
position
in
our
equity
portfolio.
For
long-term
investors,
both
equity
and
fixed
income
valuations
are
more
attractive.
As
of
March
31st,
the
rise
in
interest
rates
has
led
to
a
yield-to-
maturity
in
the
bond
portfolio
of
4.8%.
With
cash
earning
a
similar
yield,
the
defensive
part
of
the
Fund
holdings
will
likely
generate
solid
returns
in
the
upcoming
year.
Equity
valuations
have
improved
with
the
U.S.
broad
market
trading
on
a
price-to-earnings
(P/E)
ratio
of
17.5x
as
of
the
end
of
March.
Although
the
valuation
remains
a
modest
premium
to
historical
averages,
the
level
has
compressed
from
the
19x
multiple
from
a
year
ago
and
22x
valuation
from
two
years
ago.
Although
the
Fund
allocation
remains
somewhat
defensive
with
high
exposure
to
cash
and
fixed
income,
we
believe
the
Tributary
Balanced
Fund
is
well
positioned
to
earn
higher
than
average
return
due
to
the
attractive
valuations.
We
continue
to
closely
monitor
the
changing
economic
and
market
environment
and
will
further
adjust
Fund
allocations
as
warranted.

31,
2022,
through
June
16,
the
Russell
2500
Index
dropped
-19%,
followed
by
a
+21%
climb
that
lasted
until
August
16.
From
there
the
market
swung
lower,
experiencing
a
-17%
drop
through
September
26.
A
+22%
gain
then
ensued,
persisting
until
February
2,
2023.
A
final
-9%
slide
concluded
the
period,
bringing
the
Russell
2500’s
cumulative
twelve-month
tally
to
a
-10.4%
decline.
Multiple
factors
were
the
culprits
for
the
market’s
see-saw,
but
many
of
them
were
correlated
with
a
significant
common
element
the
unwind
of
the
unprecedented
stimulus
thrown
at
the
economy
and
markets
during
the
COVID
pandemic.
Excesses
and
imbalances
were
created,
and
it’s
taking
time
and
a
certain
amount
of
pain
to
wring
them
out.
Entering
the
Fund’s
2023
fiscal
year,
inflation
was
a
major
concern,
rising
at
an
alarming
rate.
The
Consumer
Price
Index
peaked
at
9.1%
in
June
of
2022
and
has
been
slowly
declining
ever
since.
While
trending
in
the
right
direction,
the
Federal
Reserve
has
made
it
clear
that
their
mission
to
tame
inflation
is
not
finished.
Over
the
last
year,
the
Federal
Reserve
has
repeatedly
ratcheted
interest
rates
upward,
but
it
appears
issues
such
as
wage-related
inflation
remain
a
concern.
Many
expect
the
Fed’s
efforts
to
culminate
in
a
recession,
possibly
in
the
later
months
of
2023.
Evidence
of
an
economic
slowdown
is
building,
including
deteriorating
corporate
earnings
expectations.
In
early
March
2023,
a
new
concern
emerged,
as
worries
regarding
the
health
of
regional
banks
gripped
the
market.
Silicon
Valley
Bank
and
Signature
Bank
faced
balance
sheet
difficulties
and
experienced
bank
runs,
ultimately
landing
them
in
receivership.
The
Federal
Reserve,
Treasury,
FDIC
and
larger
U.S.
banks
all
stepped
up
in
various
ways
to
help
soothe
concerns
about
the
regional
banking
system.
However,
investors
remain
watchful
for
further
banking
problems.
Stability
of
deposits
and
net
interest
margins
are
the
current
focus,
but
economic
deterioration
could
lead
to
credit
issues
in
the
coming
months.
The
Fed
will
continue
monitoring
banking
conditions,
as
any
reduction
in
the
ability
and
willingness
of
banks
to
lend
could
exacerbate
weakening
economic
conditions.
Global
concerns
have
weighed
on
investors
as
well.
The
war
in
Ukraine,
now
over
one
year
old,
is
still
impacting
supply
chains
and
oil
prices.
Geopolitical
tensions
are
rising
with
China,
including
China’s
territorial
claim
of
Taiwan.
If
China
were
to
ever
initiate
an
invasion
of
Taiwan,
it
would
have
political,
economic
and
financial
reverberations
worldwide.
In
particular,
the
world
relies
heavily
on
Taiwan
for
a
considerable
percentage
of
semiconductors,
especially
the
most
sophisticated,
high-end
chips.
From
an
investment
standpoint,
several
factors
favored
the
Tributary
Small/
Mid
Cap
Fund’s
value-oriented,
quality-focused
discipline
over
the
past
twelve
months.
Notably,
profitable
companies
in
the
Russell
2500
Index
outperformed
unprofitable
companies
by
a
margin
of
-7.8%
versus
-26.5%
as
investors
developed
a
heightened
aversion
to
risk.
Among
profitable
companies,
high
valuation
underperformed
over
the
last
year,
with
the
highest
Price/Earnings
(forward
twelve
months)
quintile
posting
the
lowest
return
(down
-14.3%).
On
a
market
cap
basis,
the
highest
market
cap
quintiles
in
the
index
posted
the
best
performance,
while
the
smallest
market
cap
quintiles
performed
the
worst.
The
lowest
market
cap
quintile
(companies
with
market
caps
under
$450
million),
was
most
noteworthy
with
a
decline
of
-26.8%,
while
the
second-lowest
market
cap
quintile
($450
million
to
$1
billion)
also
struggled
with
a
-18.3%
drop.
The
Tributary
Small/Mid
Cap
Fund
outperformed
the
Russell
2500
Index
in
nine
out
of
eleven
market
sectors
over
the
past
twelve
months.
The
Fund’s
strongest
relative
performance
occurred
in
the
industrials,
consumer
discretionary,
real
estate
and
information
technology
sectors.
In
the
industrials
sector,
the
Fund’s
return
of
+3.5%
surpassed
the
-1.2%
decline
in
the
Russell
2500
industrials
sector,
led
by
strong
years
from
Quanta
Services,
Franklin
Electric,
Enersys
and
ICF
International.
The
Fund’s
consumer
discretionary
holdings
posted
a
+4.5%
return,
compared
to
the
benchmark
sector’s
-5.7%
loss.
Favorable
returns
from
Ollie’s
Bargain
Outlet
and
Burlington
Stores
contributed
to
the
Fund’s
outperformance.
In
real
estate,
positive
returns
from
American
Campus
Communities
and
Agree
Realty
helped
limit
the
Fund’s
sector
return
to
a
-12.6%
loss,
considerably
better
than
the
Russell
2500
real
estate
sector’s
-21.1%
slide.
The
Fund’s
information
technology
sector,
aided
by
returns
from
Diodes,
Blackbaud
and
PTC,
declined
-7.6%,
less
severe
than
the
-10.5%
return
experienced
by
the
Russell
2500’s
information
technology
sector.
The
Fund
underperformed
in
only
two
sectors,
healthcare
and
energy.
With
a
decline
of
-24.9%,
the
Fund’s
healthcare
holdings
fell
short
of
the
-15.8%
return
experienced
by
the
Russell
2500
healthcare
sector.
Omnicell,
Pacira
Biosciences
and
PerkinElmer
were
among
the
Fund’s
most
significant
healthcare
detractors.
In
the
energy
sector,
the
Fund’s
-18.3%
return
trailed
the
benchmark
sector’s
-2.8%
return.
Natural
gas
producer
CNX
Resources
was
the
leading
detractor.
The
Fund
initiated
five
new
positions
over
the
past
twelve
months,
Agree
Realty,
Black
Knight,
Marathon
Oil,
SM
Energy
and
Diodes.
Six
positions
were
eliminated
over
the
past
year,
American
Campus
Communities,
LHC
Group,
Pioneer
Natural
Resources,
Duke
Realty,
G-III
Apparel
Group
and
Cambium
Networks.
In
addition,
MasterBrand
shares
were
sold
when
they
were
received
as
a
Fortune
Brands
spinoff.
Portfolio
holdings
remained
diversified
across
market
sectors,
in
line
with
our
investment
philosophy.
The
coming
months
hold
considerable
uncertainty.
Monitoring
economic
conditions
and
evaluating
business
results
from
the
Fund’s
holdings
remain
a
clear
focus
for
our
team.
At
the
same
time,
we
recognize
the
value
and
importance
of
maintaining
a
long-term
perspective.
By
positioning
the
portfolio
in
sound
businesses
with
attractive
valuations
and
employing
a
longer
investment
horizon
than
most,
we
believe
we
can
successfully
navigate
rougher
economic
periods
and
capitalize
on
opportunities
that
often
emerge
from
short-term
turbulence.

Manager
Commentary
The
twelve
months
ending
March
31,
2023,
was
a
wild
ride
as
returns
for
the
Russell
2000
Index
bounced
back
and
forth
throughout
the
last
year.
From
April
1,
2022,
through
the
middle
of
June
2022,
the
Russell
2000
was
down
approximately
20%.
By
mid-August
2022,
it
had
recovered
to
be
down
only
2%.
Near
the
end
of
September
2022,
the
Russell
2000
was
down
nearly
20%.
By
February
2,
2023,
it
recovered
once
again
to
be
down
by
approximately
2%.
Then,
by
the
end
of
March
2023,
the
twelve-month
return
was
down
close
to
12%.
What
were
some
of
the
factors
driving
this
volatility
over
the
last
year?
Entering
the
Fund’s
2023
fiscal
year,
inflation
was
a
major
concern,
rising
at
an
alarming
rate.
The
Consumer
Price
Index
would
peak
at
nearly
9%
in
June
of
2022
and
has
been
slowly
declining
ever
since.
While
trending
in
the
right
direction,
the
Federal
Reserve
has
made
it
very
clear
that
their
mission
to
tame
inflation
is
not
finished.
Over
the
last
year,
the
Federal
Reserve
has
raised
interest
rates
eight
times,
but
it
appears
wage-related
inflation
continues
to
concern
Fed
officials.
The
war
in
Ukraine
is
now
over
one
year
old
but
is
still
having
an
impact
on
supply
chains
and
oil
prices.
Another
geopolitical
issue
that
has
been
worsening
recently
is
China’s
territorial
claim
of
Taiwan.
A
full-
scale
military
invasion
and
takeover
of
Taiwan
would
likely
have
a
material
impact
on
international
business
and
stock
markets.
In
particular,
the
world
relies
heavily
on
Taiwan
for
a
considerable
percentage
of
semiconductors
manufactured
annually,
especially
the
most
sophisticated,
high-end
chips.
In
early
March,
concerns
regarding
the
health
of
regional
banks
suddenly
gripped
the
market
as
Silicon
Valley
Bank
and
Signature
Bank
faced
balance
sheet
difficulties
and
witnessed
runs
on
their
deposits,
ultimately
landing
them
into
receivership.
The
Federal
Reserve,
the
Treasury
Department,
the
Federal
Deposit
Insurance
Corporation,
and
larger
U.S.
banks
would
all
step
up
in
different
ways
to
help
soothe
investors’
concerns
about
the
health
of
the
regional
banking
system.
However,
legitimate
contagion
concerns
remain
and
the
potential
for
unforeseen
banking
problems,
such
as
underwriting/credit
risk,
may
need
to
be
dealt
with
in
future
quarters.
How
this
banking
crisis
evolves
and
how
it
is
handled
by
regulators
and
elected
officials
will
most
certainly
impact
the
economy
and
markets
moving
forward.
For
the
year
ended
March
31,
2023,
Tributary
Small
Company
Fund
returned
-3.25%
(Institutional
Class
at
NAV)
and
-3.02%
(Institutional
Plus
Class
at
NAV)
compared
to
-11.61%
for
the
Russell
2000
Index
and
-12.96%
for
the
Russell
2000
Value
Index.
Stock
market
return
trends
over
the
last
twelve
months
favored
companies
with
positive
earnings,
higher
returns
on
investment
and
lower
price
volatility
tended
to
do
well.
Our
Fund
tends
to
own
higher
quality
businesses
and
the
trends
witnessed
over
the
last
twelve
months
would
typically
benefit
our
portfolio.
Out
of
the
eleven
broad
economic
sectors
we
monitor,
the
Fund
outperformed
the
corresponding
Russell
2000
return
in
seven
of
them.
The
Fund’s
two
strongest
economic
sectors
compared
to
the
Russell
2000
were
industrials
and
information
technology.
Comfort
Systems,
ICF
International
and
EnPro
Industries
were
the
top
contributors
to
the
Fund’s
industrial
sector
performance.
The
top
contributors
to
the
Fund’s
information
technology
return
were
CTS
Corporation,
Blackbaud
and
Power
Integrations.
The
Fund
underperformed
the
corresponding
Russell
2000
sector
return
in
four
of
the
eleven
broad
economic
sectors
we
monitor
The
Fund’s
two
weakest
economic
sectors
compared
to
the
Russell
2000
were
materials
and
energy.
In
the
materials
sector,
Kaiser
Aluminum
and
Balchem
fell
short
of
the
return
generated
by
the
Russell
2000
materials
sector.
In
the
energy
sector,
CNX
Resources,
a
natural
gas-focused
exploration
and
production
company,
underperformed
the
Russell
2000
energy
sector
return.
However,
the
Fund’s
oil-focused
exploration
and
production
companies,
Permian
Resources
and
Northern
Oil
and
Gas,
performed
better
than
the
Russell
2000
energy
sector
return.
Looking
to
the
next
year,
market
volatility
would
not
be
a
surprise
as
many
of
the
issues
that
impacted
the
stock
market
over
the
last
twelve
months
continue
to
this
day.
Rather
than
attempting
to
forecast
the
direction
or
magnitude
of
inflation
or
interest
rates,
the
probability
or
outcome
of
armed
conflict
or
whether
the
U.S.
is
or
will
be
in
a
recession,
we
will
focus
on
the
long
term,
owning
a
diversified
portfolio
of
high-quality
businesses
at
attractive
prices.
This
investment
philosophy
has
been
diligently
implemented
in
this
portfolio
for
over
two
decades,
producing
solid
risk-adjusted
returns.
To
our
shareholders,
we
would
like
to
say
thank
you.
We
are
honored
that
you
have
entrusted
us
with
your
investment
in
the
Tributary
Small
Company
Fund
and
we
look
forward
to
discussing

Annual
Report
2023

Return
of
a
$10,000
Investment
as
of
March
31,
2023
Past
performance
does
not
guarantee
future
results.
The
performance
data
quoted
represents
past
performance
and
current
returns
may
be
lower
to
higher.
Total
returns
include
change
in
share
price,
reinvestment
of
dividends
and
capital
gains.
The
investment
return
and
principal
value
will
fluctuate
so
that
an
investor’s
shares,
when
redeemed
may
be
worth
more
or
less
than
the
original
cost.

obtain
performance
information

to

The
expense
ratios
are
from
the
Fund’s
prospectus
dated
August
1,
2022.
Net
expense
ratios
are
net
of
contractual
waivers
which
are
in
effect
through
August
1,
2023.
(*)
Returns
shown
do
not
reflect
the
deduction
of
taxes
that
a
shareholder
would
pay
on
Fund
distributions
or
the
redemption
of
Fund
shares.
Investment
performance
reflects
contractual
fee
waivers
in
effect
for
certain
periods.
Without
these
fee
waivers,
the
performance
would
have
been
lower.
The
line
chart
assumes
an
initial
investment
of
$10,000
made
on
March
31,
2013.
Total
return
is
based
on
net
change
in
net
asset
value
(“NAV”)
assuming
reinvestment
of
all
dividends
and
other
distributions.
The
performance
of
Institutional
Plus
Class
will
be
different
than
Institutional
Class
based
on
differences
in
fees
borne
by
each
class.

Organization
Tributary
Funds,
Inc.
(the
“Company”)
was
organized
in
October
1994
as
a
Nebraska
corporation
and
is
registered
under
the
Investment
Company
Act
of
1940,
as
amended
(the
“1940
Act”),
as
an
open-end
management
investment
company
issuing
its
shares
in
series.
The
Company
consists
of
six
series,
Short-Intermediate
Bond
Fund,
Income
Fund,
Nebraska
Tax-Free
Fund,
Balanced
Fund,
Small/Mid
Cap
Fund
and
Small
Company
Fund
(collectively,
the
“Funds”
and
individually,
a
“Fund”).
Short-Intermediate
Bond
Fund,
Income
Fund,
Balanced
Fund,
Small/Mid
Cap
Fund
and
Small
Company
Fund
are
all
diversified
series.
Nebraska
Tax-Free
Fund
is
a
non-diversified
series.
Each
series
represents
a
distinct
portfolio
with
its
own
investment
objectives
and
policies.
Refer
to
the
prospectus
for
each
Fund’s
investment
objective.
All
Funds
offer
Institutional
Plus
Class
shares
without
a
sales
charge
and
the
Short-Intermediate
Bond
Fund,
Income
Fund,
Balanced
Fund,
Small/Mid
Cap
Fund
and
Small
Company
Fund
also
offer
Institutional
Class
shares.
The
two
classes
differ
principally
in
applicable
minimum
investment
and
shareholder
servicing
fees.
Shareholders
bear
the
common
expenses
of
each
Fund
and
earn
income
and
realized
gains/losses
from
each
Fund
pro
rata
based
on
the
average
daily
net
assets
of

Significant
Accounting
Policies
The
Funds
are
investment
companies
and
follow
accounting
and
reporting
guidance
under
Financial
Accounting
Standards
Board
(“FASB”)
Accounting
Standards
Codification
(“ASC”)
Topic
946,
Financial
Services-Investment
Companies
.
The
following
is
a
summary
of
significant
accounting
policies
consistently
followed
by
the
Company
in
the
preparation
of
its
financial
statements.
The
policies
are
in
conformity
with
accounting
principles
generally
accepted
in
the
United
States
of
America
(“GAAP”).
The
preparation
of
financial
statements
requires
management
to
make
estimates
and
assumptions
that
affect
the
reported
amounts
of
assets
and
liabilities,
the
disclosure
of
contingent
assets
and
liabilities
at
the
date
of
financial
statements
and
the
reported
amounts
of
increases
and
decreases
in
net
assets
from
operations
during
the
period.
Actual
results
could
differ
from
those
estimates.
Security
Valuation
The
net
asset
value
(“NAV”)
per
share
of
each
Fund
is
determined
each
business
day
as
of
the
close
of
the
New
York
Stock
Exchange
(“NYSE”),
which
is
normally
4
p.m.
Eastern
Time.
In
valuing
a
Fund’s
assets
for
calculating
the
NAV,
securities
listed
on
a
securities
exchange,
market
or
automated
quotation
system
for
which
quotations
are
readily
available,
including
traded
over
the
counter
securities,
are
valued
at
the
official
closing
price
on
the
primary
exchange
or
market
on
which
they
traded
or,
if
there
is
no
such
reported
price
on
the
valuation
date,
at
the
most
recent
quoted
sale
price
or
bid
price.
Investments
in
investment
companies
are
valued
at
the
NAV
per
share
determined
as
of
the
close
of
the
NYSE.
Short-term
debt
investments
(maturing
within
60
days)
may
be
valued
on
an
amortized
cost
basis,
unless
such
value
does
not
approximate
fair
value.
Debt
securities
(other
than
short-term
investments)
are
valued
at
prices
furnished
by
pricing
services
and
generally
reflect
last
reported
sales
price
if
the
security
is
actively
traded
or
an
evaluated
bid
price
obtained
by
employing
methodologies
that
utilize
actual
market
transactions;
broker
supplied
valuations;
or
factors
such
as
yield,
maturity,
call
features,
credit
ratings,
or
developments
relating
to
specific
securities
in
arriving
at
the
valuation.
Prices
provided
by
pricing
services
are
subject
to
review
and
determination
of
the
appropriate
price
whenever
a
furnished
price
is
significantly
different
from
the
previous
day’s
furnished
price.
Pursuant
to
Rule
2a-5
under
the
Investment
Company
Act,
the
Board
of
Directors
(the
“Board”)
has
designated
the
Adviser,
as
defined
in
Note
3,
as
the
Funds’
valuation
designee
to
perform
any
fair
value
determinations
for
securities
and
other
assets
held
by
the
Funds.
The
Adviser
is
subject
to
the
oversight
of
the
Board
and
certain
reporting
and
other
requirements
intended
to
provide
the
Board
the
information
needed
to
oversee
the
Adviser’s
fair
value
determinations.
The
Adviser
is
responsible
for
determining
the
fair
value
of
investments
for
which
market
quotations
are
not
readily
available
in
accordance
with
policies
and
procedures
that
have
been
approved
by
the
Board.
Under
these
procedures,
the
Adviser
convenes
on
a
regular
and
ad
hoc
basis
to
review
such
investments
and
considers
a
number
of
factors,
including
valuation
methodologies
and
significant
unobservable
inputs,
when
arriving
at
fair
value.
The
Board
has
approved
the
Adviser’s
fair
valuation
procedures
as
a
part
of
the
Funds’
compliance
program
and
will
review
any
changes
made
to
the
procedures.
Situations
that
may
require
an
investment
to
be
fair
valued
include
instances
where
a
security
is
thinly
traded,
halted,
or
restricted
as
to
resale.
In
addition,
investments
may
be
fair
valued
based
on
the
occurrence
of
a
significant
event.
Significant
events
may
be
specific
to
a
particular
issuer,
such
as
mergers,
restructurings,
or
defaults.
Alternatively,
significant
events
may
affect
an
entire
market,
such
as
natural
disasters,
government
actions,
and
significant
changes
in
the
value
of
U.S.
securities
markets.
Securities
are
fair
valued
based
on
observable
and
unobservable
inputs,
including
the
Adviser’s
own
assumptions
in
determining
fair
value.
Factors
used
in
determining
fair
value
include,
but
are
not
limited
to:

of
security
or
asset,
trading
activity
of
similar
markets
or
securities,
fundamental
analytical
data
relating
to
the
investment,
evaluation
of
the
forces
that
influence
the
market
in
which
the
security
is
purchased
and
sold,
and
information
as
to
any
transactions
or
offers
with
respect
to
the
security.
For
those
securities
fair
valued
under
procedures
adopted
by
the
Board,
the
Adviser
reviews
and
affirms
the
reasonableness
of
the
fair
valuation
determinations
after
considering
all
relevant
information
that
is
reasonably
available.
The
Adviser’s
determinations
are
subject
to
review
by
the
Funds’
Board
at
its
next
regularly
scheduled
meeting
covering
the
calendar
quarter
in
which
the
fair
valuation
was
determined.
The
Funds
use
a
framework
for
measuring
fair
value.
Fair
value
is
defined
as
the
price
that
would
be
received
to
sell
an
asset
or
paid
to
transfer
a
liability
in
an
orderly
transaction
between
market
participants
(exit
price).
One
component
of
fair
value
is
a
three-tier
fair
value
hierarchy.
The
basis
of
the
tiers
is
dependent
upon
various
“inputs”
used
to
determine
the
value
of
the
Funds’
investments.
These
inputs
are
summarized
in
the
three
broad
levels
listed
below:
Level
1
includes
valuations
based
on
quoted
prices
of
identical
securities
in
active
markets
including
valuations
for
securities
listed
on
a
securities
exchange
or
investments
in
mutual
funds.
Level
2
includes
valuations
for
which
all
significant
inputs
are
observable,
either
directly
or
indirectly.
Direct
observable
inputs
include
broker
quotes
in
active
markets,
closing
prices
of
similar
securities
in
active
markets,
closing
prices
for
identical
or
similar
securities
in
non-active
markets,
or
corporate
action
or
reorganization
entitlement
values.
Indirect
significant
observable
inputs
include
factors
such
as
interest
rates,
yield
curves,
prepayment
speeds
or
credit
ratings.
Level
2
includes
valuations
for
fixed
income
securities
priced
by
pricing
services,
broker
quotes
in
active
markets,
or
American
depositary
receipts
(“ADR”)
and
Global
depositary
receipts
(“GDR”)
for
which
quoted
prices
in
active
markets
are
not
available.
Level
3
includes
valuations
based
on
inputs
that
are
unobservable
and
significant
to
the
fair
value
measurement,
including
the
Fair
Value
Committee's
own
assumptions
in
determining
the
fair
value
of
the
investment.
Inputs
used
to
determine
the
fair
value
of
Level
3
securities
include
security
specific
inputs
such
as:
credit
quality,
issuer
news,
trading
characteristics,
or
industry
specific
inputs
such
as:
trading
activity
of
similar
markets
or
securities,
changes
in
the
security’s
underlying
index,
or
comparable
securities’
models.
Level
3
valuations
include
securities
that
are
priced
based
on
single
source
broker
quotes,
where
prices
may
be
unavailable
due
to
halted
trading,
restricted
to
resale
due
to
market
events,
newly
issued
or
investments
for
which
reliable
quotes
are
not
available.
To
assess
the
continuing
appropriateness
of
security
valuations,
the
co-administrator
regularly
compares
current
day
prices
with
prior
day
prices,
transaction
prices,
and
alternative
vendor
prices.
When
the
comparison
results
exceed
pre-defined
thresholds,
the
co-administrator
challenges
the
prices
exceeding
tolerance
levels
with
the
pricing
service
or
broker.
To
substantiate
Level
3
unobservable
inputs,
the
adviser
and
co-administrator
use
a
variety
of
techniques
as
appropriate,
including,
transaction
backtesting
or
disposition
analysis
and
review
of
related
market
activity.
The
inputs
or
methodology
used
for
valuing
investments
are
not
necessarily
an
indication
of
the
risk
associated
with
investing
in
those
investments.

Guarantees
and
Indemnifications
In
the
normal
course
of
business,
the
Company
may
enter
into
contracts
that
contain
a
variety
of
representations
which
provide
general
indemnifications
for
certain
liabilities.
Each
Fund’s
maximum
exposure
under
these
arrangements
is
unknown.
However,
since
their
commencement
of
operations,
the
Funds
have
not
had
claims
or
losses
pursuant
to
these
contracts
and
expect
the
risk
of
loss
to
be
remote.
Under
the
Company's
organizational
documents,
its
Officers
and
Directors
are
indemnified
against
certain
liabilities
arising
out
of
the
performance
of
their
duties
to
the
Funds.
In
addition,
certain
of
the
Company's
contracts
with
service
providers
contain
general
indemnification
clauses.
The
Funds’
maximum
exposure
under
these
arrangements
is
unknown
since
the
amount
of
any
future
claims
that
may
be
made
against
the
Funds
cannot
be
determined
and
the
Funds
have
no
historical
basis
for
predicting
the
likelihood
of
any
such
claims.
Security
Transactions,
Investment
Income
and
Foreign
Taxes
Securities
transactions
are
accounted
for
no
later
than
one
business
day
following
trade
date.
For
financial
reporting
purposes,
however,
on
the
last
business
day
of
the
reporting
period,
security
transactions
are
accounted
for
on
trade
date.
Interest
income
is
recognized
on
the
accrual
basis
and
includes,
where
applicable,
the
amortization
of
premium
or
accretion
of
discount,
using
the
effective
interest
method.
Dividend
income
is
recorded
on
the
ex-dividend
date.
Dividends
and
interest
from
non-U.S.
sources
received
by
a
Fund
are
generally
subject
to
non-U.S.
net
withholding
taxes.
Such
withholding
taxes
may
be
reduced
or
eliminated
under
the
terms
of
applicable
U.S.
income
tax
treaties,
and
each
Fund
intends
to
undertake
any
procedural
steps
required
to
claim
the
benefits
of
such
treaties.
Gains
or
losses
realized
on
the
sales
of
securities
are
determined
by
comparing
the
identified
cost
of
the
security
lot
sold
with
the
net
sales
proceeds.
Withholding
taxes
on
foreign
dividends
have
been
paid
or
provided
for
in
accordance
with
each
applicable
country’s
tax
rules
and
rates.

only
interest
payments
from
a
pool
of
mortgage
loans.
Little
to
no
principal
will
be
received
by
the
Funds
upon
maturity
from
an
IO

Periodic
adjustments
are
recorded
to
reduce
the
cost
of
the
security
until
maturity,
which
are
included
in
interest
income.
Allocation
of
Expenses
Expenses
directly
attributable
to
a
Fund
are
charged
directly
to
that
Fund,
while
expenses
which
are
attributable
to
more
than
one
Fund
are
allocated
among
the
respective
Funds
based
upon
relative
net
assets
or
another
appropriate
basis.
Expenses
directly
attributable
to
a
class
are
charged
directly
to
that
class,
while
expenses
attributable
to
both
classes
are
allocated
to
each
class
based
upon
the
ratio
of
net
assets
for
each
class
as
a
percentage
of
total
net
assets.
Distributions

Pursuant
to
Rule
17a-7
under
the
1940
Act,
the
Funds
may
engage
in
securities
transactions
with
affiliated
investment
companies
and
advisory
accounts
managed
by
the
Adviser
and
any
applicable
sub-adviser.
Any
such
purchase
or
sale
transaction
must
be
effected
without
brokerage
commission
or
other
remuneration,
except
for
customary
transfer
fees.
Prior
to
September
8,
2022,
the
transaction
must
be
effected
at
the
current
market
price,
which
is
either
the
security's
last
sale
price
on
an

or,
if
there
are
no

that

at

Effective
September
8,

must
be
effected
at
a
“readily

which
is
defined
as
a

(unadjusted)
in

access
at

a
total

6.
Federal
Income
Taxes
The
following
information
is
presented
on
an
income
tax
basis.
It
is
each
Fund’s
policy
to
continue
to
comply
with
the
requirements
of
Subchapter
M
of
the
Internal
Revenue
Code
of
1986,
as
amended,
applicable
to
regulated
investment
companies,
and
to
distribute
all
of
its
net
taxable
income,
including
any
net
realized
gains
on
investments,
to
its
shareholders
sufficient
to
relieve
it
from
all,
or
substantially
all,
federal
income
and
excise
taxes.
Therefore,
no
provision
is
made
for
federal
income
or
excise
taxes.
Differences
between
amounts
reported
for
financial
statements
and
federal
income
tax
purposes
are
primarily
due
to
timing
and
character
difference
in
recognizing
gains
and
losses
on
investment
transactions.
To
the
extent
the
differences
between
the
amounts
recognized
for
financial
statements
and
federal
income
tax
purposes
are
permanent
in
nature,
such
amounts
are
reclassified
within
the
capital
accounts
based
on
their
federal
income
tax
treatment;
temporary
differences
do
not
require
reclassification.
The
permanent
differences
in
the
current
year
are
due
to
the
utilization
of
equalization.
These
reclassifications
have
no
impact
on
net
assets.

treated
as
occurring
on
the
first
business
day
of
the
following
fiscal
year.
For
the
year
ended
March
31,
2023,
the
Funds
deferred
losses
to
April
1,
2023
as
follows:
The
Funds
comply
with
FASB
ASC
Topic
740,
“Income
Taxes”.
FASB
ASC
Topic
740
provides
guidance
for
how
uncertain
tax
positions
should
be
recognized,
measured,
presented
and
disclosed
in
the
financial
statements.
FASB
ASC
Topic
740
requires
the
affirmative
evaluation
of
tax
positions
taken
or
expected
to
be
taken
in
the
course
of
preparing
each
Fund’s
tax
return
to
determine
whether
it
is
more-likely-than-not
(i.e.,
greater
than
50
percent)
that
each
tax
position
will
be
sustained
upon
examination
by
a
taxing
authority
based
on
the
technical
merits
of
the
position.
Funds
with
tax
positions
not
deemed
to
meet
the
"more-likely-than-not"
threshold
would
be
required
to
record
a
tax
expense
in
the
current
year.
Management
completed
an
evaluation
of
the
Funds’
tax
positions
and
based
on
that
evaluation,
determined
that
no
tax
liability
resulted
from
unrecognized
tax
benefits
related
to
uncertain
tax
positions
and
therefore
no
provision
for
federal
income
tax
was
required
in
the
Funds’
financial
statements
for
the
year
ended
March
31,
2023.
The
Funds
recognize
interest
and
penalties,
if
any,
related
to
unrecognized
tax
benefits
as
income
tax
expense
in
the
Statements
of
Operations,
as
incurred.
During
the
period,
the
Funds
did
not
incur
any
interest
or
penalties.
7.
Subsequent
Events
Management
has
evaluated
subsequent
events
for
the
Funds
through
the
date
the
financial
statements
are
issued,
and
has
concluded
that
there
were
no
other
events
that
require
adjustments
to
the
financial
statements
or
disclosure
in
the
notes.

To
the
Shareholders
and
Board
of
Directors
of
Tributary
Funds,
Inc.
Opinion
on
the
Financial
Statements
We
have
audited
the
accompanying
statements
of
assets
and
liabilities,
including
the
schedules
of
portfolio
investments,
of
Tributary
Funds,
Inc.
comprising
the
funds
listed
below
(the
“Funds”)
as
of
March
31,
2023,
the
related
statements
of
operations,
the
statements
of
changes
in
net
assets,
the
related
notes,
and
the
financial
highlights
for
each
of
the
periods
indicated
below
(collectively
referred
to
as
the
“financial
statements”).
In
our
opinion,
the
financial
statements
present
fairly,
in
all
material
respects,
the
financial
position
of
each
of
the
Funds
as
of
March
31,
2023,
the
results
of
their
operations,
the
changes
in
net
assets,
and
the
financial
highlights
for
each
of
the
periods
indicated
below
in
conformity
with
accounting
principles
generally
accepted
in
the
United
States
of
America.
Basis
for
Opinion
These
financial
statements
are
the
responsibility
of
the
Funds’
management.
Our
responsibility
is
to
express
an
opinion
on
the
Funds’
financial
statements
based
on
our
audits.
We
are
a
public
accounting
firm
registered
with
the
Public
Company
Accounting
Oversight
Board
(United
States)
(“PCAOB”)
and
are
required
to
be
independent
with
respect
to
the
Funds
in
accordance
with
the
U.S.
federal
securities
laws
and
the
applicable
rules
and
regulations
of
the
Securities
and
Exchange
Commission
and
the
PCAOB.
We
conducted
our
audits
in
accordance
with
the
standards
of
the
PCAOB.
Those
standards
require
that
we
plan
and
perform
the
audit
to
obtain
reasonable
assurance
about
whether
the
financial
statements
are
free
of
material
misstatement
whether
due
to
error
or
fraud.
Our
audits
included
performing
procedures
to
assess
the
risks
of
material
misstatement
of
the
financial
statements,
whether
due
to
error
or
fraud,
and
performing
procedures
that
respond
to
those
risks.
Such
procedures
included
examining,
on
a
test
basis,
evidence
regarding
the
amounts
and
disclosures
in
the
financial
statements.
Our
procedures
included
confirmation
of
securities
owned
as
of
March
31,
2023,
by
correspondence
with
the
custodian
and
brokers;
when
replies
were
not
received
from
brokers,
we
performed
other
auditing
procedures.
Our
audits
also
included
evaluating
the
accounting
principles
used
and
significant
estimates
made
by
management,
as
well
as
evaluating
the
overall
presentation
of
the
financial
statements.
We
believe
that
our
audits
provide
a
reasonable
basis
for
our
opinion.
We
have
served
as
the
Funds’
auditor
since
2015.

Table
of
Shareholder
Expenses
As
a
shareholder
of
the
Funds
,
you
incur
ongoing
costs,
including
management
fees,
shareholder
servicing
fees
and
other
Fund
expenses.
This
example
is
intended
to
help
you
understand
your
ongoing
costs
(in
dollars)
of
investing
in
the
Funds
and
to
compare
these
costs
with
the
ongoing
costs
of
investing
in
other
mutual
funds.
The
example
is
based
on
an
investment
of
$1,000
invested
at
the
beginning
of
the
period
and
held
for
the

Actual
Expenses
The
first
set
of
columns
next
to
each
Fund
of
the
table
below
provides
information
about
actual
account
values
and
actual
expenses.
You
may
use
the
information
in
this
line,
together
with
the
amount
you
invested,
to
estimate
the
expenses
that
you
paid
over
the
period.
Simply
divide
your
account
value
by
$1,000
(for
example,
an
$8,600
account
value
divided
by
$1,000
=
8.6),
then
multiply
the
result
by
the
number
in
the
first
set
of
columns
under
the
heading
entitled
“Expenses
Paid
During
Period”
to
estimate
the
expenses
you
paid
on
your
account
during
the
period.
Hypothetical
Example
for
Comparison
Purposes
The
second
line
set
of
columns
next
to
each
Fund
of
the
table
below
provides
information
about
hypothetical
account
values
and
hypothetical
expenses
based
on
each
Fund’s
actual
expense
ratio
and
an
assumed
rate
of
return
of
5%
per
year
before
expenses,
which
is
not
each
Fund’s
actual
return.
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
each
Fund
and
other
funds.
To
do
so,
compare
this
5%
hypothetical
example
with
the
5%
hypothetical
examples
that
appear
in
the
shareholder
reports
of
other
funds.
Please
note
that
the
expenses
shown
in
the
table
are
meant
to
highlight
your
ongoing
costs
only.
Therefore,
the
second
set
of
columns
of
the
table
is
useful
in
comparing
ongoing
costs
only,
and
will
not
help
you
determine
the
relative
total
costs
of
owning
different
funds.

ITEM 2. CODE OF ETHICS.
The registrant has adopted a code of ethics that applies to the registrant’s principal executive officer, principal financial officer, principal accounting officer or controller, or persons performing similar functions. This code of ethics is included as Exhibit 13(a)(1) on this Form N-CSR. There were no substantive amendments or waivers to this code of ethics during the period covered by this report.
 
ITEM 3. AUDIT COMMITTEE FINANCIAL EXPERT.
The registrant’s Board of Directors has determined that the registrant has at least one audit committee financial expert serving on its audit committee. An “audit committee financial expert” is not an “expert” for any purpose, including for purposes of Section 11 of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, as a result of being designated as an “audit committee financial expert.” Further, the designation of a person as an “audit committee financial expert” does not mean that the person has any greater duties, obligations, or liability than those imposed on the person without the “audit committee financial expert” designation. Similarly, the designation of a person as an “audit committee financial expert” does not affect the duties, obligations, or liability of any other member of the Audit Committee or Board of Directors. The audit committee financial expert is Donna Walsh who is “independent” for purposes of this Item 3 of Form N-CSR.
 
ITEM 4. PRINCIPAL ACCOUNTANT FEES AND SERVICES.
(a) Audit Fees - The aggregate fees billed for each of the last two fiscal years (the “Reporting Periods”) for professional services rendered by the Registrant’s principal accountant for the audit of the Registrant’s annual financial statements, or services that are normally provided by the principal accountant in connection with the statutory and regulatory filings or engagements for the Reporting Periods, were $101,500 in 2022 and $93,000 in 2023.
 
(b) Audit-Related Fees – The aggregate fees billed in the Reporting Periods for assurance and related services rendered by the principal accountant that were reasonably related to the performance of the audit of the Registrant’s financial statements and are not reported under paragraph (a) of this Item 4 were $0 in 2022 and $1,500 in 2023.
 
(c) Tax Fees - The aggregate fees billed in the Reporting Periods for professional services rendered by the principal accountant to the Registrant for tax compliance, tax advice and tax planning were $21,000 in 2022 and $19,200 in 2023. These services consisted of review or preparation of U.S. federal, state, local and excise tax returns.
 
(d) All Other Fees - The aggregate fees billed in the Reporting Periods for products and services provided by the principal accountant to the Registrant, other than the services reported in paragraphs (a) through (c) of this Item, were $0 in 2022 and $0 in 2023.
 
(e) (1) Audit Committee Pre-Approval Policies and Procedures: The registrant’s Audit Committee has not adopted pre-approval policies and procedures. Instead, the Audit Committee approves each audit and non-audit service before the accountant is engaged to provide such service.
 
(e) (2) No services included in (b) - (d) above were approved pursuant to paragraph (c)(7)(i)(C) of Rule 2-01 of Regulation S-X.
                     
(f) Not applicable
 
(g) The aggregate non-audit fees billed by the principal accountant for services rendered to the Registrant for the Reporting Periods were $0 in 2022 and $0 in 2023. There were no fees billed in either of the Reporting Periods for non-audit services rendered by the principal accountant to the Registrant’s investment adviser or any Affiliate.
 
(h) Not applicable.

ITEM 11. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
(a) The Registrant’s Principal Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer have concluded that the Registrant’s disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 30a-3(c) under the Act are effective, based on their evaluation of the controls and procedures required by Rule 30a-3(b) under the Act and Rules 13a-15(b) or 15d-15(b) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as of a date within 90 days of the filing date of this report.

EX-99.CODE ETH 2 coe.htm
TRIBUTARY funds, INC.
 
CODE OF ETHICS FOR PRINCIPAL EXECUTIVE AND
Principal FINANCIAL OFFICERS
 

I.
                  
Covered Officers/Purpose of the Code

Tributary Funds, Inc.’s (the “Company” or the “Funds”) code of ethics (the “Code”) applies to the Company’s Principal Executive Officer (“President”) and Principal Financial Officer (“Treasurer”) (the “Covered Officers” each of whom is identified in Exhibit A) for the purpose of promoting:
·
        
honest and ethical conduct, including the ethical handling of actual or apparent conflicts of interest between personal and professional relationships;
·
        
full, fair, accurate, timely and understandable disclosure in reports and documents that a registrant files with, or submits to, the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) and in other public communications made by the Company;
·
        
compliance with applicable laws and governmental rules and regulations;
·
        
the prompt internal reporting of violations of the Code to an appropriate person or persons identified in the Code; and
·
        
accountability for adherence to the Code.
Each Covered Officer should adhere to a high standard of business ethics and should be sensitive to situations that may give rise to apparent as well as actual conflicts of interest.

II.
               
Covered Officers Should Handle Ethically Actual and Apparent Conflicts of Interest

Overview.  A “conflict of interest” occurs when a Covered Officer’s private interest interferes with the interests of, or his service to, the Company.  For example, a conflict of interest would arise if a Covered Officer, or a member of his family, receives improper personal benefits as a result of his position in the Company. 
Certain conflicts of interest arise out of the relationships between Covered Officers and the Company and already are subject to conflict of interest provisions in the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (“Investment Company Act”).  For example, Covered Officers may not individually engage in certain transactions (such as the purchase or sale of securities or other property) with the Company because of their status as “affiliated persons” of the Company.  The Principal Executive Officer is an employee of an affiliate of the Adviser.  The Principal Financial Officer is an employee of the Company’s Co-administrator.  The Company’s and these Service Provider’s compliance programs and procedures are designed to prevent, or identify and correct, violations of these provisions. This Code does not, and is not intended to, repeat or replace these programs and procedures, and such conflicts fall outside of the parameters of this Code.
Although typically not presenting an opportunity for improper personal benefit, conflicts arise from, or as a result of, the contractual relationship between the Company and the Service Provider of which the Principal Financial Officer is also an employee.  As a result, this Code recognizes that the Principal Financial Officer will, in the normal course of his or her duties (whether formally for the Company or for the Service Provider, or for both), be involved in establishing policies and implementing decisions which will have different effects on the Service Provider and the Company.  The participation of the Principal Financial Officer in such activities is inherent in the contractual relationship between the Company and the Service Provider and is consistent with the performance by the Principal Financial Officer of his or her duties as an officer of the Company.  Thus, if performed in conformity with the provisions of the Investment Company Act, will be deemed to have been handled ethically.  In addition, it is recognized by the Board of Directors (the “Board”) that the Covered Officers may also be officers or employees of one or more other investment companies covered by this or other Codes.
Other conflicts of interest are covered by the Code, even if such conflicts of interest are not subject to provisions in the Investment Company Act.  The following list provides examples of conflicts of interest under the Code, but Covered Officers should keep in mind that these examples are not exhaustive.  The overarching principle is that the personal interest of a Covered Officer should not be placed improperly before the interest of the Company. 
Each Covered Officer must:
·
        
not use his personal influence or personal relationships improperly to influence investment decisions or financial reporting by the Company whereby the Covered Officer would benefit personally to the detriment of the Company;
·
        
not cause the Company to take action, or fail to take action, for the individual personal benefit of the Covered Officer rather than for the benefit of the Company;
·
        
not use material non-public knowledge of portfolio transactions made or contemplated for the Company to trade personally or cause others to trade personally in contemplation of the market effect of such transactions;

III.
            
Disclosure & Compliance

·
        
Each Covered Officer should familiarize himself with the disclosure requirements generally applicable to the Company;
·
        
each Covered Officer should not knowingly misrepresent, or cause others to misrepresent, facts about the Company to others, whether within or outside the Company, including to the Company’s Directors and auditors, and to governmental regulators and self-regulatory organizations;
·
        
each Covered Officer should, to the extent appropriate within his area of responsibility, consult with other officers and employees of the Company and the Company’s adviser or subadviser and co-administrators with the goal of promoting full, fair, accurate, timely and understandable disclosure in the reports and documents the Company files with, or submit to, the SEC and in other public communications made by the Company; and
·
        
it is the responsibility of each Covered Officer to promote compliance with the standards and restrictions imposed by applicable laws, rules and regulations.

IV.
            
Reporting and Accountability

Each Covered Officer must:
·
        
upon adoption of the Code (or thereafter as applicable, upon becoming a Covered Officer), affirm in writing to the Board that he/she has received, read, and understands the Code;
·
        
annually thereafter affirm to the Board that he/she has complied with the requirements of the Code;
·
        
not retaliate against any employee or Covered Officer or their affiliated persons for reports of potential violations that are made in good faith;
·
        
notify the Chief Legal Officer (or equivalent) or the Qualified Legal Compliance Committee (“QLCC”) promptly if he/she knows of any violation of this Code.  Failure to do so is itself a violation of this Code; and
·
        
report at least annually any change in his affiliations from the prior year.
The CLO (or equivalent) is responsible for applying this Code to specific situations in which questions are presented under it and has the authority to interpret this Code in any particular situation. 
The Company will follow these procedures in investigating and enforcing this Code:
·
        
the CLO or equivalent will take all appropriate action to investigate any potential violations reported to it;
·
        
if, after such investigation, the CLO believes that no violation has occurred, the CLO is not required to take any further action;
·
        
if the CLO concurs that a violation has occurred, it will inform and make a recommendation to the Board, which will consider appropriate action, which may include review of, and appropriate modifications to, applicable policies and procedures; notification to appropriate personnel of the Service Provider or its board; or a recommendation to dismiss the Covered Officer;
and
·
        
any changes to this Code will, to the extent required, be disclosed as provided by SEC rules.
V.  Other Policies and Procedures
            This Code shall be the sole code of ethics adopted by the Funds for purposes of Section 406 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 and the rules and forms applicable to registered investment companies thereunder.  Insofar as other policies or procedures of the Funds, the Funds’ advisers, principal underwriter, or other service providers govern or purport to govern the behavior or activities of the Covered Officers who are subject to this Code, they are superceded by this Code to the extent that they overlap or conflict with the provisions of this Code.  The Funds’ and their investment adviser’s, principal underwriter’s and service providers’ codes of ethics under Rule 17j-1 under the Investment Company Act and the adviser’s more detailed policies and procedures are separate requirements applying to the Covered Officers and others, and are not part of this Code.
VI. Amendments
            Any amendments to this Code, other than amendments to Exhibit A, must be approved or ratified by a majority vote of the Company’s board, including a majority of independent directors.
VII. Confidentiality
            All reports and records prepared or maintained pursuant to this Code will be considered confidential and shall be maintained and protected accordingly.  Except as otherwise required by law or this Code, such matters shall not be disclosed to anyone other than the appropriate Board and its counsel, the investment advisers and the respective Service Providers.
VIII. Internal Use
            The Code is intended solely for the internal use by the Funds and does not constitute an admission, by or on behalf of the Company, as to any fact, circumstance, or legal conclusion.
