1. ORGANIZATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Leuthold Funds, Inc. (the “Company”) was incorporated on August 30, 1995, as a Maryland Corporation and is registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission as an open-end management investment company under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”). In addition, the Funds are considered investment companies under, and follow the accounting and reporting guidance in, Accounting Standards Codification Topic 946 – Investment Companies. The Leuthold Group, LLC, doing business as Leuthold Weeden Capital Management, is the investment adviser to the Funds (the “Adviser”). The Company consists of five series (each series a “Fund” and collectively the “Funds”):


Fund	Investment Objective	Inception – Retail Share Class	Inception – Institutional Share Class
Leuthold Core Investment Fund	Seeks total return consistent with prudent investment risk over the long-term	11/20/1995	1/31/2006
Leuthold Global Fund	Seeks total return consistent with prudent investment risk over the long-term	7/1/2008	4/30/2008
Leuthold Select Industries Fund	Capital appreciation	6/19/2000	n/a
Leuthold Grizzly Short Fund	Capital appreciation	6/19/2000	n/a
Leuthold Core ETF	Capital appreciation and income	1/6/2020	n/a

All classes of shares in a Fund have identical voting, dividend, liquidation, and other rights, and the same terms and conditions, except that certain fees and expenses, including distribution and shareholder servicing fees, may differ among classes. Each class has exclusive voting rights on any matters relating to that class’s servicing or distribution arrangements.

The following is a summary of significant accounting policies consistently followed by the Funds.

a)Investment Valuation – The Funds value their investments at fair value. Securities listed on a national securities exchange (other than The NASDAQ OMX Group, Inc., referred to as “NASDAQ”) are valued at the last sale price on the day the valuation is made. Securities that are traded on NASDAQ under one of its three listing tiers, NASDAQ Global Market, NASDAQ Global Select Market, and NASDAQ Capital Market, are valued at the NASDAQ Official Closing Price. Price information on listed stocks is taken from the exchange where the security is primarily traded. Securities, including securities sold short, which are listed on an exchange, but which are not traded on the valuation date are generally valued at the mean between the bid and the asked prices. Unlisted securities for which market quotations are readily available are valued at the latest quoted bid price or, if unavailable, at prices provided by an independent pricing service. Securities sold short which are not listed on an exchange but for which market quotations are readily available are generally valued at the average of the current bid and asked prices. Debt securities are valued at bid prices provided by an independent pricing service that may use a matrix pricing method or other analytical pricing model. Shares of open-end investment companies (other than shares of an exchange-traded fund traded on domestic securities exchanges or on NASDAQ) are valued at one of the following prices as determined by the Adviser: (a) the net asset value announced by such open-end investment company following the close of business on

Leuthold Funds


46	Leuthold Funds - 2024 Semi-Annual Report

the business day a Fund’s net asset value is to be calculated; (b) the net asset value announced by such open-end investment company following the close of business on the business day immediately preceding the day a Fund’s net asset value is to be calculated; or (c) a value determined by the Adviser by adding to, or subtracting from, the net asset value announced by such open-end investment company following the close of business on the business day immediately preceding the day a Fund’s net asset value is to be calculated, an amount equal to the Adviser’s estimate of the effect of changes in the market prices for the types of securities held by such investment company. Other assets, including securities for which no quotations are readily available, are valued at fair value as determined by the valuation designee pursuant to the fair value methodologies established and applied by the Adviser.

Under Rule 2a-5 of the 1940 Act, a fair value will be determined for securities for which quotations are not readily available by the Valuation Designee (as defined in Rule 2a-5) in accordance with the fair value methodologies established and applied by the Adviser. When a security is “fair valued,” consideration is given to the facts and circumstances relevant to the particular situation, including a review of various factors set forth in the Adviser’s fair value methodologies. Fair value pricing is an inherently subjective process, and no single standard exists for determining fair value. Different funds could reasonably arrive at different values for the same security. The use of fair value pricing by a fund may cause the NAV of its shares to differ significantly from the NAV that would be calculated without regard to such considerations

The Funds may invest in foreign securities. Foreign securities may be priced at the closing price reported on the foreign exchange on which they are principally traded. Trading in foreign securities may be completed at times that vary from the closing of the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”). The Adviser, as the Valuation Designee, uses its independent pricing provider’s proprietary fair value pricing model to assist in determining current valuation for foreign securities traded in markets that close prior to the NYSE. Foreign securities quoted in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollars at current exchange rates. Occasionally, events that affect these values and exchange rates may occur between the times at which they are determined and the closing of the NYSE. If these events materially affect the value of portfolio securities, then these securities may be valued as determined by the Valuation Designee. Some of the factors which may be considered by the Valuation Designee and the Funds’ Fair Value Pricing Committee in determining fair value are fundamental analytical data relating to the investment, the nature and duration of any restrictions on disposition, trading in similar securities of the same issuer or comparable companies, information from broker-dealers, and an evaluation of the forces that influence the market in which the securities are purchased and sold. The use of fair value pricing by a Fund may cause the net asset value of its shares to differ significantly from the net asset value that would be calculated without regard to such considerations.

b)Fair Valuation Measurements – The Funds have adopted fair valuation accounting standards, which establish a definition of fair value and set out a hierarchy for measuring fair value. These standards require additional disclosures about the various inputs and valuation techniques used to develop the measurements of fair value and a discussion of changes in valuation techniques and related inputs during the period. These inputs are summarized in the following three levels:

Level 1 - Quoted prices in active markets for identical securities.

Leuthold Funds


Leuthold Funds - 2024 Semi-Annual Report	47

Level 2 - Other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.).

Level 3 - Significant unobservable inputs (including the Funds’ own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments).

The inputs or methodology used for valuing securities are not an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities.

The following is a summary of the inputs used to value the Funds’ investments and securities sold short as of March 31, 2024:

c)Federal Income Taxes – Provision for federal income taxes or excise taxes has not been made since the Funds have elected to be taxed as “regulated investment companies” and intend to distribute substantially all taxable income to shareholders and otherwise comply with the provisions of the Internal Revenue Code applicable to regulated investment companies. Distributions from net realized gains for book purposes may include short-term capital gains, which are included as ordinary income to shareholders for tax purposes. The Funds also designate as distributions of long-term gains, to the extent necessary to fully distribute such capital gains, earnings and profits distributed to shareholders on the redemption of shares.

The tax character of distributions paid during the fiscal years ended September 30, 2023 and 2022 was as follows:


Year Ended September 30, 2023

*The funds designate these distributions as long-term capital gain dividends per IRC Sec. 852(b)(3)(C) in the 20-percent group (which may be taxed at a 20-percent rate, a 15-percent rate or 0-percent rate, depending on the shareholder’s taxable income).

Net investment income and realized gains and losses for federal income tax purposes may differ from that reported on the financial statements because of permanent book-to-tax differences. U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“U.S. GAAP”) requires that permanent differences between financial reporting and tax reporting be reclassified between various components of net assets. These differences are primarily due to partnership adjustments, securities sold short, earnings and profits distributed to shareholders on the redemption of shares, net operating losses, realized gain on redemptions in kind, and expiration of capital losses.

Additionally, U.S. GAAP requires that certain components of net assets relating to permanent differences be reclassified between financial and tax reporting. These reclassifications have no effect on net assets or net asset value per share. For the year ended September 30, 2023, the following table shows the reclassifications made:


	Distributable Earnings	Paid In Capital
Leuthold Core Investment Fund	$(5,253,136)	$5,253,136

Leuthold Select Industries Fund	(166,885)	166,885
Grizzly Short Fund	—	—
Leuthold Core ETF	(331,190)	331,190

Under current law, the Funds may carry forward net capital losses indefinitely to use to offset capital gains realized in future years. Capital losses realized will carry forward retaining their classification as long-term or short-term losses.

Leuthold Funds - 2024 Semi-Annual Report	51

The Funds did not have any late-year losses incurred during the fiscal year ended September 30, 2023 as arising on the first day of the fiscal year ending September 30, 2024. The Funds also did not have any post-October losses.

As of March 31, 2024, the Funds had no tax positions that did not meet the “more likely-than-not” threshold of being sustained by the applicable tax authority. Generally, tax authorities can examine all the tax returns filed for the last three years. The Funds recognize interest and penalties, if any, related to unrecognized tax benefits as income tax expense in the Statements of Operations. During the year ended September 30, 2024, the Funds did not incur any interest or penalties.

d)Distributions to Shareholders – Dividends from net investment income, if any, are declared and paid quarterly for the Leuthold Core Investment Fund, Leuthold Global Fund, Leuthold Select Industries Fund, and Leuthold Grizzly Short Fund, and are declared and paid annually for the Leuthold Core ETF. Distributions of net realized capital gains, if any, are declared and paid at least annually.

e)Use of Estimates – The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

f)Securities Sold Short – For financial statement purposes, an amount equal to the required amount of collateral to be segregated for securities sold short is included in the Statements of Assets and Liabilities as an asset. The amount of the securities sold short, shown as a liability, is subsequently marked-to-market to reflect the current value of the securities sold short. Subsequent fluctuations in the market prices of securities sold short may require purchasing the securities at prices which could differ from the amount reflected in the Statements of Assets and Liabilities. The Funds are liable for any dividends or interest payable on securities sold short. The Funds will suffer a loss if they sell a security short and the value of the security rises rather than falls; additionally, the Funds may be subject to expenses such as costs of borrowing and margin account maintenance. Since there is no maximum attainable price for a stock, short selling could result in unlimited loss. As collateral for their securities sold short, the Funds are required under the 1940 Act to maintain segregated assets consisting of cash, cash equivalents, or liquid securities. These segregated assets are valued consistent with Note 1a. The amount of segregated assets is required to be adjusted daily to reflect changes in the fair value of the securities sold short. The Leuthold Core Investment Fund, Leuthold Global Fund, and Leuthold Grizzly Short Fund’s collateral at broker for securities sold short is with one major international security dealer.

With regard to the cash collateral that is posted with counterparties, the Funds have established a collateral account for each respective counterparty with its custodian (the “Account”) and have entered into a tri-party agreement with the custodian and the respective counterparty regarding the transfer of assets to and from the Account.

The Adviser reviews each Account on a daily basis to ensure that the Account does not maintain a material amount of cash collateral in excess of what is required by the applicable counterparty (the amount of collateral required by such counterparty is subject to change and generally not known until the next business day, which necessitates the maintenance of a minimum amount of excess cash collateral). In the event that the excess cash

Leuthold Funds


52	Leuthold Funds - 2024 Semi-Annual Report

collateral in an Account is equal to or in excess of the greater of the following: $250,000 or 3% of the total assets of the applicable Fund calculated at each month end; then the applicable Fund, pursuant to the tri-party agreement, will instruct the custodian to sweep such excess cash collateral into the Fund’s interest bearing account with the custodian. The amount of collateral held related to this tri-party agreement is included in the Statements of Assets and Liabilities as an asset.

g)Other – Investment and shareholder transactions are recorded on the trade date. The Funds determine the gain or loss realized from the investment transactions by comparing the cost of the security lot sold with the net sales proceeds. The Funds utilize an identified lot approach to transactions. Dividend income is recognized on the ex-dividend date or as soon as information is available to the Funds, and interest income is recognized on an accrual basis. Discounts and premiums on bonds are amortized using the yield to maturity method over the life of the respective bond. For financial reporting purposes, the Funds isolate changes in the exchange rate of investment securities from the fluctuations arising from changes in the market prices of securities for realized gains and losses.

h)Foreign Taxes – To the extent certain Funds invest in foreign securities, they may be subject to foreign withholding taxes with respect to dividends or interest the Funds received from sources in foreign countries. Since certain Funds may invest in the securities of a foreign issuer, it can elect to “pass-through” foreign taxes paid by the Funds to its shareholders who, subject to certain limitations, can elect to credit such taxes against their own U.S. federal income tax liability or claim them as a credit. No assurance can be provided that the Funds can or will make such an election.

i)Expenses – Expenses that directly relate to one of the Funds are charged directly to that Fund. Other operating expenses of the Funds, such as Directors fees and expenses, insurance expense, and legal fees are allocated between the Funds based on the relative net asset value of the individual Funds.

j)Counterparty Risk – Counterparty risk may arise as the result of the failure of a counterparty to a securities contract to comply with the terms of the contract. Potential counterparty risk is measured by the creditworthiness of the counterparty and additional risk may arise from unanticipated events affecting the value of the underlying security.

k)Managed Futures Strategy/Commodities Risk (Leuthold Core ETF only) - The Fund may invest in underlying investments that principally invest in the commodities markets through investment in managed futures programs. Such investments may subject an underlying investment to greater volatility than investments in traditional securities. Commodities are real assets such as oil, agriculture, livestock, industrial metals, and precious metals such as gold or silver. Prices of commodities and related contracts may fluctuate significantly over short periods for a variety of reasons, including weather and natural disasters; pandemics and other global health emergencies; governmental, agricultural, trade, fiscal, monetary and exchange control programs and policies; acts of terrorism, tariffs and U.S. and international economic, political, military and regulatory developments. The demand and supply of these commodities may also fluctuate widely based on such factors as interest rates, investors’ expectations with respect to the rate of inflation, currency exchange rates, the production and cost levels of the

Leuthold Funds


Leuthold Funds - 2024 Semi-Annual Report	53

producers and/or forward selling by such producers, global or regional political, economic, or financial events, purchases and sales by central banks, and trading activities by hedge funds and other commodity funds. Commodity underlying investments may use derivatives, such as futures, options, and swaps, which expose them to further risks, including counterparty risk (i.e., the risk that the institution on the other side of the trade will default).

l)Shares May Trade at Prices Other Than NAV (Leuthold Core ETF only) - As with all exchange traded funds (“ETFs”), shares may be bought and sold in the secondary market at market prices. Although it is expected that the market price of shares will approximate the Fund’s net asset value (“NAV”), there may be times when the market price of shares is more than the NAV intra-day (premium) or less than the NAV intra-day (discount) due to supply and demand of shares or during periods of market volatility. This risk is heightened in times of market volatility, periods of steep market declines, and periods when there is limited trading activity for shares in the secondary market, in which case such premiums or discounts may be significant.

m)Authorized Participants, Market Makers and Liquidity Providers Concentration Risk (Leuthold Core ETF only) - The Fund has a limited number of financial institutions that may act as authorized participants (“APs”). In addition, there may be a limited number of market makers and/or liquidity providers in the marketplace. To the extent either of the following events occur, shares may trade at a material discount to NAV and possibly face delisting: (i) APs exit the business or otherwise become unable to process creation and/or redemption orders and no other APs step forward to perform these services, or (ii) market makers and/or liquidity providers exit the business or significantly reduce their business activities and no other entities step forward to perform their functions.

n) Rule 18f-4 under the 1940 Act - On October 28, 2020, the SEC adopted new regulations governing the use of derivatives by registered investment companies as Rule 18f-4 under the 1940 Act (“Rule 18f-4”). Rule 18f-4 imposes limits on the amount of derivatives a fund can enter into, eliminates the asset segregation and cover framework arising from prior SEC guidance for covering derivatives and certain financial instruments currently used by funds to comply with Section 18 of the 1940 Act and treats derivatives as senior securities. Under Rule 18f-4 a fund’s derivatives exposure is limited through a value-at-risk test. Funds whose use of derivatives is more than a limited specified exposure amount are required to establish and maintain a comprehensive derivatives risk management program, subject to oversight by a fund’s board of trustees, and appoint a derivatives risk manager. The Leuthold Core Investment Fund, Leuthold Global Fund, and Leuthold Grizzly Short Fund have implemented a derivatives risk management program and comply with Rule 18f-4.

o) Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements - In October 2022, the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) adopted a final rule relating to Tailored Shareholder Reports for Mutual Funds and Exchange-Traded Funds; Fee Information in Investment Company Advertisements. The rule and form amendments will, among other things, require the Funds to transmit concise and visually engaging shareholder reports that highlight key information. The amendments will require the funds tag information in a structured data format and that certain more in-depth information be made available online and available for delivery free of charge to investors on request. The amendments became effective January 24, 2023. There is an 18-month transition period after the effective date of the amendment.

p)Subsequent Events – In preparing these financial statements, the Funds have evaluated events and transactions for potential recognition or disclosure through the date the financial statements were issued. This evaluation did not result in any subsequent events that necessitated recognition or disclosure.

2.INVESTMENT TRANSACTIONS

Purchases and sales of investment securities, other than short-term investments, U.S. Government securities, and securities sold short, for the six-months ended March 31, 2024 are summarized below.


	Leuthold Core Investment Fund	Leuthold Global Fund	Leuthold Select Industries Fund	Leuthold Core ETF^(a)
Purchases	$75,812,303	$3,475,130	$4,191,395	$11,445,569
Sales	60,352,661	5,109,810	2,402,722	10,269,153

Purchases and sales of U.S. Government securities for the six-months ended March 31, 2024 are summarized below.


	Leuthold Core Investment Fund	Leuthold Global Fund	Leuthold Select Industries Fund	Leuthold Core ETF^(a)
Purchases	$—	$—	$—	$—
Sales	5,831,006	341,281	$—	$—

(a)The Leuthold Core ETF’s purchases and sales exclude in-kind transactions. In-kind purchases and sales as of March 31, 2024 were $14,280,159 and $4,788,862, respectively. During the six-months ended March 31, 2024, the Fund realized $1,040,488 in net capital gains resulting from in-kind redemptions, in which shareholders exchanged Fund shares for securities held by the Fund rather than for cash. Because such gains are not taxable to the Fund, and are not distributed to shareholders, they have been reclassified from accumulated earnings to paid-in capital.

There were no purchases or sales of investment securities in the Leuthold Grizzly Short Fund because this Fund invests only in securities sold short.

At September 30, 2023, gross unrealized appreciation and depreciation of investments and securities sold short and cost of investments and cost of securities sold short for tax purposes were as follows:


	Leuthold Core Investment Fund		Leuthold Global Fund		Leuthold Select Industries Fund		Leuthold Grizzly Short Fund		Leuthold Core ETF
Tax cost of investments	$287,761,646		$17,880,512		$9,931,049		$(14,520,545	)	$63,474,331
Unrealized appreciation	117,764,941		3,858,458		3,992,851		10,362,513		5,017,702
Unrealized depreciation	(6,920,793	)	(1,959,645	)	(267,869	)	(3,312,809	)	(1,842,475	)
Net unrealized appreciation	$110,844,148		$1,898,813		$3,724,982		$7,049,704		$3,175,227

The differences between book and tax basis of unrealized appreciation (depreciation) are primarily attributable to the tax deferral of losses on wash sales and passive foreign investment company transactions.

3.INVESTMENT ADVISORY AND OTHER AGREEMENTS

Each of the Funds has entered into an Investment Advisory Agreement (“advisory agreement”) with the Adviser. Pursuant to its advisory agreement with the Funds, the Adviser is entitled to receive a fee, calculated daily as applied to each Fund’s average daily net assets and payable monthly, at annual rates of:


Leuthold Core Investment Fund	Leuthold Global Fund	Leuthold Select Industries Fund	Leuthold Grizzly Short Fund	Leuthold Core ETF
0.90%	0.90%	1.00%	1.25%	0.50%

The Adviser has agreed to waive its advisory fee and/or reimburse the Funds’ other expenses, to the extent necessary to ensure that the Funds’ total operating expenses (exclusive of interest, taxes, brokerage commissions, dividends, interest on securities sold short, acquired fund fees and expenses, and extraordinary items) do not exceed the following rates, based on each Fund’s average daily net assets:


Leuthold Core Investment Fund	Leuthold Global Fund	Leuthold Select Industries Fund	Leuthold Grizzly Short Fund	Leuthold Core ETF
1.25%	1.85%	1.50%	2.50%	0.65%

Any waiver or reimbursement is subject to later adjustments to allow the Adviser to recoup amounts previously waived or reimbursed to the extent actual fees and expenses for a fiscal period are less than each Fund’s expense limitation, provided, however, that the recoupment period for the Adviser is limited to three years from the time the expenses were waived or incurred and is limited to the lesser of (1) the expense cap in effect at the time of the waiver, and (2) the expense cap in effect at the time of recapture.

Amounts subject to future recoupment as of March 31, 2024 are as follows:


Leuthold Select Industries Fund

U.S. Bancorp Fund Services, LLC (“Fund Services”), doing business as U.S. Bank Global Fund Services, serves as transfer agent, administrator, and accounting services agent for the Funds. U.S. Bank, N.A. serves as custodian for the Funds. A director and officers of the Company are also officers of the Adviser.

4.DISTRIBUTION PLAN

The Leuthold Global Fund – Retail Class has adopted a distribution plan pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act, whereby Compass Distributors, LLC, served as distributor through September 14, 2023, and Quasar Distributors, LLC, which serves as distributor effective September 15, 2023. This plan allows the Fund to use up to 0.25% of its average daily net assets to pay sales, distribution, and other fees for the sale of its shares and for services provided to investors. The Fund may pay all or a portion of this fee to any securities dealer, financial institution, or any other person who renders personal service to the Fund’s shareholders, assists in the maintenance of the Fund’s shareholder accounts, or who renders assistance in distributing or promoting the sale of shares of the Fund pursuant to a written agreement approved by the Directors. To the extent such fee is not paid to such persons, the Fund may use the fee for its expenses of distribution of its shares, including, but not limited to, payment by the Fund of the cost of preparing, printing, and distributing Prospectuses and Statements of Additional Information to prospective investors and of implementing and operating the plan.

5.SUB-TRANSFER AGENT AND SHAREHOLDER SERVICING FEE PLANS

The Funds are permitted to pay sub-transfer agent fees for various platform agreement not to exceed 0.15% of the Funds’ average daily net assets. In addition, the Retail Class shares of the Leuthold Core Investment Fund, Leuthold Select Industries Fund, and Leuthold Grizzly Short Fund have adopted a Shareholder Servicing Fee Plan not to exceed 0.15% of these Funds’ Retail Class shares average daily net assets. These fees are used to finance certain activities related to servicing and maintaining shareholder accounts. Sub-transfer agent and shareholder servicing fees incurred by the Funds are disclosed in the Statements of Operations.

6.INDEMNIFICATIONS

The Funds enter into contracts that contain a variety of indemnifications. The Funds’ maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown. However, the Funds have not had prior claims or losses pursuant to these contracts and expect the risk of loss to be remote.

7.ILLIQUID SECURITIES

Each Fund may invest up to 15% of net assets in illiquid investments. An “illiquid investment” is any investment that a fund reasonably expects cannot be sold or disposed of in current market conditions in seven calendar days or less without the sale or disposition significantly changing the market value of the investment. A fund will take into account relevant market, trading, and investment specific consideration when determining whether an investment is an illiquid investment. The illiquidity status of an investment is generally evaluated monthly. The 15% limitation may include securities whose disposition would be subject to legal restrictions (“restricted securities”). Restricted securities often have a market value lower than the market price of unrestricted securities of the same issuer and are not readily marketable without some time delay. This could result in a fund being unable to realize a favorable price upon disposition of restricted securities and in some cases might make disposition of such securities at the time desired by the fund impossible.

Leuthold Funds


Leuthold Funds - 2024 Semi-Annual Report	57

8.LENDING PORTFOLIO SECURITIES

The Funds may lend portfolio securities constituting up to 30% of total assets to unaffiliated broker dealers, banks, or other recognized institutional borrowers of securities, provided that the borrower at all times maintains cash, U.S. government securities or equivalent collateral or provides an irrevocable letter of credit in favor of the Funds equal in value to at least 100% of the value of the securities loaned. During the time portfolio securities are on loan, the borrower pays the lending Fund an amount equivalent to any dividends or interest paid on such securities, and the Fund may receive an agreed-upon amount of interest income from the borrower who delivered equivalent collateral or provided a letter of credit. Loans are subject to termination at the option of the lending Fund or the borrower. The lending Fund may pay reasonable administrative and custodial fees in connection with a loan of portfolio securities and may pay a negotiated portion of the interest earned on the cash or equivalent collateral to the borrower or placing broker. The lending Fund does not have the right to vote securities on loan but could terminate the loan and regain the right to vote if that were considered important with respect to the investment.

The primary risk in securities lending is a default by the borrower during a sharp rise in price of the borrowed security resulting in a deficiency in the collateral posted by the borrower. The Funds will seek to minimize this risk by requiring that the value of the securities loaned will be computed each day and additional collateral be furnished each day if required.

As of and during the six-months ended March 31, 2024, the Funds did not engage in securities lending.

Leuthold Funds - 2024 Semi-Annual Report	65

Expense Examples – March 31, 2024 (Unaudited)

As a shareholder of the Funds, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including redemption fees and exchange fees, and brokerage charges for the Leuthold Core ETF; and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees; distribution and/or service 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 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 the entire period (October 1, 2023 - March 31, 2024).

Actual Expenses

The first line of the following tables provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. Although the Funds charge no sales load (the Leuthold Core Investment Fund and Leuthold Global Fund charge a 2% redemption fee for redemptions made within five business days after a purchase), you will be assessed fees for outgoing wire transfers, returned checks, or stop payment orders at prevailing rates charged by U.S. Bancorp Fund Services, LLC, the Funds’ transfer agent. If you request a redemption be made by wire transfer, currently a $15.00 fee is charged by the Funds’ transfer agent. To the extent that the Funds invest in shares of other investment companies as part of its investment strategy, you will indirectly bear your proportionate share of any fees and expenses charged by the underlying funds in which a Fund invests in addition to the expenses of the Fund. Actual expenses of the underlying funds are expected to vary by fund. These expenses are not included in the following examples. The examples include, but are not limited to, management fees, shareholder servicing fees, fund accounting, custody, and transfer agent fees. However, the following examples do not include portfolio trading commissions and related expenses, and extraordinary expenses as determined under generally accepted accounting principles. You may use the information in this line, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the first line under the heading entitled “Expenses Paid During Period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.

Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes

The second line of the following tables 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 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 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 tables are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transactional costs, such as redemption fees or exchange fees. Therefore, the second line of the tables is useful in comparing ongoing costs only and will not help you determine the relative costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transactional costs were included, your costs would have been higher.

(the “Directors”) approved the continuation of the investment advisory agreements for the Leuthold Core Investment Fund, the Leuthold Grizzly Short Fund, the Leuthold Select Industries Fund, the Leuthold Global Fund, and the Leuthold Core ETF (collectively, the “Funds”, or each, a “Fund”) with the investment adviser to the Funds, The Leuthold Group, LLC, doing business as Leuthold Weeden Capital Management (the “Adviser”). As part of the process of approving the continuation of the advisory agreements, the Directors reviewed the fiduciary duties of the Directors with respect to approving the continuation of the advisory agreements and the relevant factors for the Directors to consider. In considering the relevant factors, the members of the Board of Directors who are not “interested persons” (as that term is defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940) of the Funds (the “Independent Directors”) met in executive session to discuss approving the continuation of the advisory agreements.

In advance of the meeting, the Adviser sent detailed information to the Directors to assist them in their evaluation of the investment advisory agreements. This information included, but was not limited to, a memorandum from counsel to the Funds that summarized the legal standards applicable to the Directors’ consideration of the advisory agreements; detailed comparative information relating to the Funds’ management fees and other expenses of the Funds; information regarding fees paid by the Funds and other Fund payments; information on the Adviser’s profitability; information about brokerage commissions; detailed comparative information relating to the Funds’ performance; information about sales and redemptions of the Funds; information about the Funds’ compliance program; and other information the Directors believed was useful in evaluating approval of the continuation of the advisory agreements.

All of the factors discussed by the Directors were considered as a whole, and were considered separately by the Independent Directors while meeting in executive session. The factors were viewed in their totality by the Directors, with no single factor being the principal or determinative factor in the Directors’ determination of whether to approve the continuation of the investment advisory agreements. The Directors recognized that the management and fee arrangements for the Funds are the result of years of review and discussion between the Independent Directors and the Adviser, that certain aspects of such arrangements may receive greater scrutiny in some years than in others, and that the Directors’ conclusions may be based, in part, on their consideration of these same arrangements and information received during the course of the year and in prior years.

Prior to approving the continuation of the investment advisory agreements, the Directors and the Independent Directors in executive session considered, among other items:

•The nature and quality of the investment advisory services provided by the Adviser, including the Adviser’s organization and operations, financial condition and stability and ownership structure; and the terms of the investment advisory agreements and how the services performed by the Adviser under the investment advisory agreements differ from those performed for other accounts managed by the Adviser.

•A comparison of the fees and expenses of the Funds to other similar funds, including a comparison of the Funds’ total expenses and the total expense ratios.

•A comparison of the fees and expenses of the Funds to other similar funds, including a comparison of the Funds’ total expenses and the total expense ratios.

•A comparison of the fee structures of other accounts managed by the Adviser.

•Whether economies of scale are recognized by the Funds.

•The costs and profitability of the Funds to the Adviser.

•The independence, expertise, care, and conscientiousness of the Board of Directors.

•Short-term and long-term investment performance of the Funds.

•The other benefits to the Adviser from serving as investment adviser to the Funds (in addition to the advisory fee under the investment advisory agreements).

The material considerations and determinations of the Board of Directors, including all of the Independent Directors, are as follows:

Nature and Quality of Investment Advisory Services

The Directors noted that the Adviser supervises the investment portfolios of the Funds, directing the day-to-day management of the Funds’ portfolios, including the purchase and sale of investment securities. The Directors then discussed with management the nature of the investment process employed by the portfolio managers of the Funds, which is highly research intensive.

Management noted that in employing its strategy, the Adviser conducts extensive quantitative research on target companies and industry groups. The Directors then discussed staffing at the Adviser and concluded that the Adviser is well staffed to conduct the research needed to meet the investment objectives of the Funds.

The Directors also considered the background and experience of the Adviser’s senior management and expertise of, and the amount of attention given to the Funds by investment personnel of the Adviser. In addition, the Directors considered the quality of the material service providers to the Funds, who provide administrative and distribution services on behalf of the Funds and are overseen by the Adviser, and the overall reputation and capabilities of the Adviser. Based on this review and discussions with management, the Directors concluded that they were satisfied with the nature, extent and quality of the investment advisory services provided to the Funds by the Adviser, and that the nature and extent of the services provided by the Adviser are appropriate to assure that each Fund’s operations are conducted in compliance with applicable laws, rules and regulations.

Comparative Fees and Expenses

The Directors then discussed with management the variables, in addition to the management fees, such as administrative and transaction fees that impact costs to the shareholders of the Funds. Management reviewed with the Directors the comparison of the Funds’ expense ratios to other similar funds. As part of the discussion with management, the

Directors ensured that they understood and were comfortable with the criteria used by the Adviser to determine the mutual funds that make up the peer universes for purposes of the materials.

Management discussed with the Board the Funds’ investment advisory fees and why the Funds’ fees appear higher than their peers. Management indicated that unlike some of the peers in the analyses that may employ some form of passive management in their strategies, the Adviser manages the Funds solely with an active approach. Mr. Mueller explained that at the Adviser’s size, the Adviser does not have the benefit of economies of scale that some of the larger investment adviser peers may experience. He also discussed the Funds expense ratios with the Directors and indicated that keeping the expense ratios as low as possible is a constant focus of the Adviser.

The Directors compared the Funds’ expense ratios to those of other comparable mutual funds and exchange traded funds, indicating that the peer groups used were in line with what the Adviser uses for their internal reporting and that management believes the categories used to compare the Funds to their peer groups are appropriate. After review and discussion, the Directors concluded that the expense ratios of the Funds are within a reasonable range of comparable mutual funds and exchange traded funds, and that the advisory fees are reasonable.

Comparison of Fee Structures of Other Accounts

The Directors inquired of management regarding the distinction between the services performed by the Adviser for separately managed accounts (“SMAs”) or private investment companies and those performed by the Adviser for the Funds. The Adviser noted that the management of the Funds involves more comprehensive and substantive duties than the management of SMAs or private investment companies. Specifically, the Adviser noted the following:

•The Adviser provides tailored investment advisory services to the Funds in order to accommodate the cash flow volatility presented by the purchases and redemptions of shareholders.

•With regard to the Funds, the Adviser attempts to serve the needs of thousands of accounts, ranging from direct accounts holding a few thousand dollars to the large omnibus accounts of intermediaries who in turn service thousands of large and small accounts.

•The Adviser maintains a robust shareholder communication effort for the Funds to reach shareholders through direct contact, through intermediaries, or via the financial press.

•The Adviser coordinates with the Funds’ Chief Compliance Officer and other service providers to ensure compliance with regulatory regimens imposed by Federal law and the Internal Revenue Code.

•The Adviser faces substantially greater litigation risk and reputational risk with regard to the Funds than with regard to other accounts the Adviser manages, due in part to the large number of retail shareholders.

•SMAs or private investment companies do not require the same level of services and oversight, nor do they present the same compliance risk.

The Directors concluded that the services performed by the Adviser for the Funds require a higher level of service and oversight than the services performed by the Adviser for SMAs or private investment companies, and that the services

performed by the Adviser for the Funds present a higher level of compliance and litigation risk to the Adviser. Based on this determination, the Directors believe that the differential in advisory fees between the Funds and the SMAs and private investment companies are reasonable and concluded that the fee rates charged to the Funds in comparison to those charged to the Adviser’s other clients are reasonable.

In addition to the above, the Directors discussed with management the fact that increasingly investors in the Funds invest through brokerage platforms (intermediaries), with fewer investors going directly to the Funds’ transfer agent. The Directors noted that in connection with the intermediaries, the Adviser absorbs all costs in excess of the fees paid by the Funds. As result, the cost of obtaining, retaining and servicing shareholders for the Funds is significantly higher than the costs for SMAs.

Performance

The Directors noted that at each quarterly meeting, the Directors review reports comparing the investment performance of the Funds to various indices. Based on the information provided at this meeting and the information and quarterly discussions regarding the Funds’ investment performance, the Directors believe that the Adviser manages the Funds in a manner that is materially consistent with their stated investment objectives and investment strategies.

The Directors also considered the presentation from the Adviser on the investment strategies for the Funds and reviewed the investment performance of the Funds compared with those of the Funds’ peer groups and relevant benchmarks. They noted and discussed the Funds’ periods of underperformance to confirm that the Adviser is taking steps to address underperformance and concluded that they believe the Adviser is actively taking steps to address underperformance. It is the Directors’ expectation that the Adviser’s discipline will lead to favorable results in the long-term, and the Directors will continue to monitor the performance of the Funds.

Based on their discussions with the Adviser at the meeting and the prior quarterly meetings, the Directors concluded that the performance of the Funds is satisfactory, and within a reasonable range of the performance of similar funds.

Costs and Profitability

The Directors reviewed the cost of services provided and the profits realized by the Adviser, by reviewing reports provided by the Funds’ administrator that compared the Funds’ investment advisory fees to those of other comparable mutual funds. In addition, each Independent Director received and reviewed a copy of the Adviser’s audited financial statements. They also considered the Funds’ overall expense ratios compared to peer group funds.

The Directors discussed the profitability of the Adviser as it relates to the Funds, in meetings with management of the Adviser. They also discussed the impact of the intermediary service fees on the profitability of the Adviser. The Directors also considered the resources and revenues that the Adviser has put into managing and distributing the Funds and concluded that the level of profitability realized by the Adviser from its provision of services to the Funds is reasonable, and that the overall expense ratios and investment advisory fees are fair and within a reasonable range of industry averages.

Economies of Scale

The Directors then discussed with management whether economies of scale are recognized by the Funds. They noted that as Fund assets grow, certain fixed costs are spread over the larger asset base, which may lead to some economies of scale. However, the Directors noted that many of the Funds’ expenses are subject to diseconomies of scale. For example, the intermediary service fees generally increase as the Funds’ assets grow. Given the size of the Funds, the Directors do not believe the Funds are recognizing economies of scale at this time. The Directors noted that they are pleased with the Adviser’s efforts to keep overall expenses low, and they determined that the proposed fee schedules are reasonable. The Directors determined to continue to assess the advisability of breakpoints as the Funds grow in size.

Fall-Out Benefits

The Directors then considered other benefits to the Adviser from serving as adviser to the Funds (in addition to the advisory fee). The Directors noted that the Adviser derives ancillary benefits from its association with the Funds in the form of proprietary and third-party research products and services received from broker dealers that execute portfolio trades for the Funds. Specifically, they discussed the manner in which portfolio transactions for the Funds would be conducted, including the use of soft dollars. Based on these discussions, the Directors concluded that the research and services obtained by the Adviser are beneficial to the Funds by aiding in things such as the investment decision-making process. The Directors concluded that the other benefits realized by the Adviser from its relationship with the Funds are reasonable.

Conclusion

After reviewing the materials and management’s presentation, as well as other information regularly provided at the Board’s quarterly meetings throughout the year regarding the quality of services provided by the Adviser, the performance of the Funds, expense information, regulatory compliance issues, trading information and related matters and other factors deemed relevant by the Board, including all of the Independent Directors, approved the continuation of the investment advisory agreements.

The Directors noted that all of the factors above were considered by the Board as a whole, and separately by the Independent Directors meeting in executive session. The factors were viewed in their totality by the Directors, with no single factor being the principal or determinative factor in the Board’s determination of whether to approve the continuation of the investment advisory.
