DEAR FELLOW SHAREHOLDERS:
We are pleased to report on the progress of the Frontier Funds over the past six months ending December 31, 2021. The S&P 500 Index was up 11.67%. International stocks, as measured by the MSCI EAFE Index, returned 2.24% over the six-month period.

The Frontier MFG Global Plus Fund, Institutional Class, also managed by MFG, returned 3.80% (net) versus the MSCI World Index (Net) return of 7.76% for the six-month period ending December 31, 2021. The Service Class shares returned 3.77% (net) over the same time period.
The Frontier MFG Global Sustainable Fund, Institutional Class, also managed by MFG, returned 5.99% (net) versus the MSCI World Index (Net) return of 7.76% for the six-month period ending December 31, 2021. The Service Class shares returned 5.94% (net) over the same time period.

Market Review
In the second half of 2021, stock markets ended up but experienced increased volatility. The threat of inflation continues to loom on the horizon, and investors are split on whether the increases seen in recent months will ultimately be transitory or structural. Additionally, fallout from the "great resignation" continues, casting doubt on future employment figures. Finally, the rise of the Omicron variant in the fourth quarter of 2021 spoiled the burgeoning bounce-back in those sectors most adversely impacted by COVID-19 during the prior two years, leaving many to wonder when the world will return to the pre-pandemic normalcy.
We will continue to oversee the management of the Frontier Funds with the thoughtfulness and skill our shareholders have come to expect. As always, we appreciate your investment and continued confidence in us.
Best regards,
William D. Forsyth, CFA
President

REPORT FROM MFG ASSET MANAGEMENT
Dear Fellow Shareholders:
The investment objective of the Frontier MFG Global Equity Fund and the Frontier MFG Global Plus Fund is capital appreciation. The objective is measured against the MSCI World Index (Net).
Performance Review
The Frontier MFG Global Equity Fund (Institutional Class) returned 3.84%, net of fees, for the six-month period ending December 31, 2021, while the Frontier MFG Global Plus Fund (Institutional Class) returned 3.80%, net of fees, for the same time period. Both Funds underperformed the 7.76% return of their benchmark, the MSCI World Index (Net). For the year, the Global Equity Fund returned 13.26%, net of fees, and the Global Plus Fund returned 13.15%, net of fees, compared to the benchmark return of 21.82%.
Global stocks rose over the six months ending December 31st after government and central bank stimulus helped economies recover from the pandemic, vaccines proved effective in reducing the virulence of a new COVID-19 strain, and tech stocks reported bumper earnings.
The Funds both recorded a positive return for the six months. The biggest contributors in local currency terms were the investments in Microsoft, Alphabet, the owner of Google, and Yum! Brands. Microsoft and Alphabet gained after they reported profit and revenue increases that showed how much they had benefited from the shift to online during the pandemic, while Congress, the courts and regulators failed to make any watershed regulatory laws, decisions or moves against technology companies. Yum! Brands jumped after the owner of KFC, Pizza Hut and Taco Bell, reported higher-than-expected same-store growth of 23% and unit growth of 2% for the June quarter and raised unit guidance.
The biggest detractors were the investments in Alibaba Group, Tencent Holdings and Meta Platforms. Alibaba and Tencent fell after Chinese authorities stepped up regulatory scrutiny of the country's largest companies, Tencent in particular, when they cracked down on gaming. Meta fell after the renamed Facebook warned revenues in the fourth quarter will be knocked further by Apple's privacy changes that restrict its ad-targeting, its third-quarter revenues fell short of expectations on Apple's restrictions, and a former employee exposed issues at the social-media company including that it was losing younger audiences.
Fund Outlook and Strategy
In the next 18 months or so, we see two broad scenarios that could occur. Both appear equally likely.
The first is a grind higher in equity returns, driven by a smooth transition to slower economic growth on the back of a modest withdrawal of record levels of fiscal and monetary accommodation. In this scenario, equity returns will be attractive but below those achieved in recent years. The second scenario is a market slump. As well as the well-known risk of higher inflation and policy interest rates, this could also be driven by COVID variants, slower-than-expected Chinese growth or tensions in the Middle East that disrupt global energy supplies. Importantly, these risks could occur around the same time.
In the medium term, we believe that investors should be prepared for returns that are below those recorded in the past 20 or so years that have been helped along by a sustained reduction in interest rates. COVID-19 has not changed the longer-term economic outlook and thus the global economy remains structurally low growth and low inflation, resulting in structurally low interest rates. What has changed is a steep rise in government debt and potentially a greater acceptance of central-bank-financed government deficits.

REPORT FROM MFG ASSET MANAGEMENT
Dear Fellow Shareholders:
The investment objective of the Frontier MFG Global Sustainable Fund is to seek attractive risk-adjusted returns over the medium to long-term while reducing the risk of permanent capital loss.
Performance Review
The Frontier MFG Global Sustainable Fund, Institutional Class, returned 5.99%, net of fees, for the six-month period ending December 31, 2021. The Fund underperformed the 7.76% return of the benchmark, the MSCI World Index (Net). For the year, the Fund returned 15.84%, net of fees, compared to the benchmark return of 21.82%.
Global stocks rose over the six months ending December 31st after government and central bank stimulus helped economies recover from the pandemic, vaccines proved effective in reducing the virulence of a new COVID-19 strain, and tech stocks reported bumper earnings.
The Fund recorded a positive return for the six months. The biggest contributors in local currency terms were the investments in Microsoft, Alphabet, the owner of Google, and Sydney Airport. Microsoft and Alphabet gained after they reported profit and revenue increases that showed how much they had benefited from the shift to online during the pandemic, and Congress, the courts and regulators failed to make any watershed regulatory laws, decisions or moves against technology companies. Sydney Airport surged following a A$24 billion takeover offer from a consortium led by the infrastructure manager IFM.
The biggest detractors were the investments in Alibaba Group, Tencent Holdings and Meta Platforms. Alibaba and Tencent fell after Chinese authorities stepped up regulatory scrutiny of the country's largest companies, Tencent in particular, when they cracked down on gaming. Meta fell after the renamed Facebook warned revenues in the fourth quarter will be knocked further by Apple's privacy changes that restrict its ad-targeting, its third-quarter revenues fell short of expectations on Apple's restrictions, and a former employee exposed issues at the social-media company including that it was losing younger audiences.

REPORT FROM MFG ASSET MANAGEMENT
Dear Fellow Shareholders:
The investment objective of the Frontier MFG Core Infrastructure Fund is long-term capital appreciation. The investment objective of the Frontier MFG Select Infrastructure Fund is to seek attractive risk-adjusted returns over the medium- to long-term, while reducing the risk of permanent capital loss. The objectives for both Funds are measured against the S&P Global Infrastructure Index.
Performance Review
The Frontier MFG Core Infrastructure Fund, Institutional Class, returned 7.50%, net of fees, for the six-month period ending December 31, 2021. The Fund's return outperformed the 6.14% return of its benchmark, the S&P Global Infrastructure Index. For the year, the Fund returned 13.83%, net of fees, compared to the benchmark's return of 11.87%.
The Frontier MFG Select Infrastructure Fund, Institutional Class, returned 7.75%, net of fees, for the six-month period ending December 31, 2021. The Fund's return outperformed the 6.14% return of its benchmark, the S&P Global Infrastructure Index. For the year, the Fund returned 12.75%, net of fees, compared to the benchmark's return of 11.87%.
Both Funds recorded a positive return for the six-month period. One of the largest contributors to both Funds in local currency terms over the six months ending December 31, 2021, was Sydney Airport of Australia. Sydney Airport surged following a A$24 billion takeover offer from a consortium led by the infrastructure manager IFM.
Other contributors to the Core Infrastructure Fund included National Grid of the UK and SBA Communications of the U.S. National Grid surged after the electricity utility announced underlying operating profit in the first half soared by a higher-than-expected 47% to 1.41 billion pounds and the company said it expects to deliver full-year underlying earnings "significantly above the top end of the 5% to 7% range" thanks to the earlier-than-expected commissioning of a new interconnector and higher auction prices across the interconnector portfolio. SBA rose after the real estate investment trust that owns and operates wireless infrastructure reported second- and third-quarter earnings that beat analyst expectations for revenue and adjusted funds from operations per share.
Other contributors to the Select Infrastructure Fund included investments in Red Eléctrica of Spain and Spark Infrastructure of Australia. Red Eléctrica, which operates Spain's electricity grid, performed strongly as the market applauded its first-quarter result that showed profit rose 4.9% from a year earlier and warmed to its locked-in regulatory outlook and resilience to rising energy prices in Europe. Spark rose after the electricity transmission company received a A$5.2 billion takeover offer from the Ontario Teachers' Pension Plan Board and Kohlberg Kravis Roberts.
One of the largest detractors in both Funds over the six months ending December 31, 2021, was Royal Vopak of the Netherlands. Vopak slid after the storage operator's earnings report for the second quarter disappointed, occupancy rates in its terminals were lower and the backwardation in oil markets continued.
Cellnex Telecom of Spain and Pinnacle West Capital of the U.S. also detracted from the Core Infrastructure Fund. Cellnex slid on concerns that eurozone inflation will stay elevated and hurt the company's real earnings power while boosting the risk of higher long-term policy rates. Pinnacle West declined after the Arizona Corporation Commission cut the electricity utility's authorised return on equity more sharply than expected and disallowed recovery of pollution control costs related to one of the company's coal-fired power stations.
Transurban of Australia was the only other detractor from the Select Infrastructure Fund. Transurban fell as rising COVID-19 infections led to lockdowns and investors priced in interest rate rises sooner than had been flagged previously by the Reserve Bank of Australia after a report showed inflation reached 3% in the 12 months ending September 30th, the ceiling of the central bank's target. The company
page 9
![](https://capedge.com/proxy/N-CSRS/0001104659-22-030485/j2213102_ca014.jpg)
also reached a larger-than-expected settlement with the Victorian government and its contractors regarding the allocation of cost overruns on its West Gate Tunnel project.
Fund Outlook and Strategy
Notwithstanding our expectations for greater volatility in the short to medium term driven by the COVID-19 crisis and potential interest rate volatility, we are confident that the underlying businesses that we have included in our defined universe and in our investment strategy will prove resilient over the longer term. We regard the businesses that we invest in to be of high quality and, while short-term movements in share prices reflect issues of the day, we expect that share prices in the longer term will reflect the underlying cash flows leading to investment returns consistent with our expectations.
The strategy seeks to provide investors with attractive risk-adjusted returns from infrastructure securities. It does this by investing in a portfolio of listed infrastructure companies that meet our strict definition of infrastructure. We believe that infrastructure assets, with requisite earnings reliability and a linkage of earnings to inflation, offer attractive, long-term investment propositions. Furthermore, given the resilient nature of earnings and the structural linkage of those earnings to inflation, investment returns generated by infrastructure stocks are different from standard asset classes and offer investors diversification when included in an investment portfolio. In the current uncertain economic and investment climate, the reliable financial performance of infrastructure investments makes them attractive, and an investment in listed infrastructure can be expected to reward patient investors with a long-term time frame.
Sincerely,

The MSCI World Index (Net) represents large and mid cap equities across 23 Developed Markets countries and covers approximately 85% of the free float-adjusted market capitalization in each country. The S&P Global Infrastructure Index is a global developed markets infrastructure and utilities benchmark. Neither index reflects investment management fees, brokerage commissions or other expenses associated with investing in equity securities. A direct investment in an index is not possible.
Frontegra Asset Management, Inc. has contractually agreed through October 31, 2023, to waive its management fee and/or reimburse the Fund's operating expenses to the extent necessary to ensure that the Fund's total operating expenses (excluding taxes, interest, brokerage commissions, acquired fund fees and expenses and extraordinary expenses) do not exceed 0.80% of the Fund's average daily net assets for the Institutional Class. The expense ratios presented are based on the annualized expense ratios as reported in the Fund's current prospectus, which may differ from the expense ratios presented in the Fund's financial highlights.
** The returns shown do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on Fund distributions or the redemption of Fund shares.
The above graph relates to Institutional Class shares of the Fund. Performance for Service Class shares will vary from the performance of the Institutional Class shares shown above due to differences in expenses.

EXPENSE EXAMPLE
December 31, 2021 (Unaudited)
As a shareholder of a mutual fund, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including redemption fees, and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees, distribution and/or service (12b-1) fees and other fund expenses. Although the Funds charge no sales loads, you will be assessed fees for returned checks and stop payment orders at prevailing rates charged by U.S. Bancorp Fund Services, LLC, the Funds' transfer agent. A redemption fee of 2.00% of the then current value of the shares redeemed may be imposed on certain redemptions of shares made within 30 days of purchase for the Funds.
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 entire period (7/1/21 – 12/31/21).
Actual Expenses
The first line of the table on the following page for each Fund provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. The Example includes management fees, registration fees, fee waivers/reimbursements and other expenses. However, the Example does not include portfolio trading commissions and related expenses and other 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 the Period" to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.
Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes
The second line of the table for each Fund provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on each of the Fund's actual expense ratios and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the 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 of the Funds and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds.
Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transactional costs, such as redemption fees. Therefore, the second line of the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transactional costs were included, your costs would have been higher.

(2) SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The financial statements are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("GAAP"). Each Fund is an investment company and accordingly follows the investment company accounting and reporting guidance of the Financial Accounting Standards Board Accounting Standards Codification Topic 946 Financial Services — Investment Companies.
The following is a summary of significant accounting policies consistently followed by the Funds in the preparation of their financial statements.
(a) Investment Valuation
Securities are valued at their fair value. Equity securities that are traded on a national securities exchange, except for those traded on NASDAQ Global Market, NASDAQ Global Select Market and NASDAQ Capital Market exchanges (together, "NASDAQ"), for which market quotations are readily available are valued at the last reported sale price on the national securities exchange on which such securities are principally traded. Equity securities that are traded on NASDAQ are valued using the NASDAQ Official Closing Price ("NOCP"). Equity securities for which there were no transactions on a given day or securities not listed on a national securities exchange are valued at the most recent quoted bid price. Debt securities are valued at the bid price provided by an independent pricing service, which uses valuation methods such as matrix pricing and other analytical pricing models, as well as market transactions and other market inputs. Shares of underlying mutual funds are valued at their respective Net Asset Value ("NAV"). Deposit accounts are valued at acquisition cost, which approximates fair value. Exchange-traded funds and closed-end funds are valued at the last reported sale price on the exchange on which the security is principally traded. Securities that are primarily traded on foreign exchanges generally are valued at the last sale price of such securities on their respective exchange. In the case of foreign securities, the occurrence of events after the close of the foreign markets, but prior to the time a Fund's NAV is calculated, will result in a systematic fair value adjustment to the trading prices of foreign securities provided that there is a movement in the markets that exceeds a threshold established by the Board of Directors (the "Board") and provided the fair value prices exceed a pre-established confidence level. The Funds will also value foreign securities at fair value using fair valuation procedures approved by the Board in the case of other significant events relating to a particular foreign issuer or market. In such cases, use of fair valuation can reduce an investor's ability to seek to profit by estimating the Fund's NAV in advance of the time the NAV is calculated. The Board has retained an independent fair value pricing service to assist in valuing foreign securities held by the Funds. In valuing assets, prices denominated in foreign currencies are converted to U.S. dollar equivalents at the current exchange rate, which approximates fair value. Any securities or other assets for which market quotations are not readily available are valued at their fair value as determined in good faith by the Adviser or a subadviser pursuant to guidelines established by the Board. The Board has appointed a Valuation Committee to assist the Board in its oversight of the Funds' valuation procedures.
The Funds follow a fair value hierarchy that distinguishes between market data obtained from independent sources (observable inputs) and the Funds' own market assumptions (unobservable inputs). These inputs are used in determining the value of each Fund's investments and are summarized in the following fair value hierarchy:
Level 1 — Quoted prices in active markets for identical securities that the Funds have the ability to access
Level 2 — Evaluated prices based on other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar securities, foreign security indices, foreign exchange rates, fair value estimates for foreign securities and changes in benchmark securities indices)
Level 3 — Significant unobservable inputs (including the Fund's own assumptions in determining fair value of investments)

(a) See each Fund's Schedule of Investments for sector or country classifications.
(b) Federal Income Taxes
Each Fund intends to comply with the requirements of Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, necessary to qualify as a regulated investment company and to make the requisite distributions of income and capital gains to its shareholders sufficient to relieve it from all or substantially all federal income taxes. Therefore, no federal income tax provision has been provided.
The Funds have adopted financial reporting rules regarding recognition and measurement of tax positions taken or expected to be taken on a tax return. The Funds recognize interest and penalties, if any, related to unrecognized tax benefits as income tax expense on the Statements of Operations as incurred. During the period, the Funds did not incur any interest or penalties. The Funds have reviewed all open tax years and concluded that there is no effect to any of the Fund's financial positions or results of operations and no tax liability resulting from unrecognized tax benefits relating to uncertain income tax positions taken or expected to be taken on a tax return. The Funds have no examinations in progress.
(c) ��Distributions to Shareholders
With the exception of the Core and Select Funds, dividends from net investment income are usually declared and paid annually. The Core and Select Funds usually declare and pay dividends quarterly. Distributions from net realized gains, if any, are declared and paid at least annually for all Funds. All short-term capital gains are included in ordinary income for tax purposes. Distributions to shareholders are recorded on the ex-dividend date. The Funds may utilize earnings and profits distributed to shareholders on redemption of shares as part of the dividends paid deduction.
The tax character of distributions paid during the six months ended December 31, 2021, and the fiscal year ended June 30, 2021 were as follows:
| | Six Months Ended December 31, 2021 | | Year Ended June 30, 2021 | |
| | Ordinary Income | | Long-Term Capital Gains | | Total Distributions | | Ordinary Income | | Long-Term Capital Gains | | Total Distributions | |

At June 30, 2021, the Funds' most recent fiscal year end, the components of distributable earnings (accumulated losses) on a tax basis were as follows:
| | Global Equity Fund | | Global Plus Fund | | Global Sustainable Fund | | Core Fund | | Select Fund | |
Cost of investments | | $ | 789,569,106 | | | $ | 477,163,569 | | | $ | 26,919,679 | | | $ | 645,400,148 | | | $ | 110,635,080 | | |
Gross unrealized appreciation | | $ | 494,620,907 | | | $ | 207,226,541 | | | $ | 4,171,241 | | | $ | 158,189,128 | | | $ | 15,117,177 | | |
Gross unrealized depreciation | | | (2,063,032 | ) | | | (4,680,448 | ) | | | (344,048 | ) | | | (23,801,553 | ) | | | (2,130,785 | ) | |
Net unrealized appreciation/depreciation | | | 492,557,875 | | | | 202,546,093 | | | | 3,827,193 | | | | 134,387,575 | | | | 12,986,392 | | |
Undistributed ordinary income | | | 15,252,994 | | | | 12,557,344 | | | | 148,356 | | | | 2,232,515 | | | | 396,966 | | |
Undistributed long-term capital gain | | | 44,854,214 | | | | 5,706,251 | | | | 67,966 | | | | — | | | | — | | |
Other accumulated gains (losses) | | | 84,055 | | | | 21,305 | | | | (635 | ) | | | (4,569,723 | ) | | | (4,203,385 | ) | |
Total distributable earnings | | $ | 552,749,138 | | | $ | 220,830,993 | | | $ | 4,042,880 | | | $ | 132,050,367 | | | $ | 9,179,973 | | |
The difference between book-basis and tax-basis unrealized appreciation is attributable primarily to the tax deferral of losses on wash sales and mark-to-market on passive foreign investment companies. Other accumulated gains (losses) include unrealized appreciation/depreciation on foreign currency transactions.
During the fiscal year ended June 30, 2021, the Core Fund utilized short-term and long-term capital loss carryforwards of $781,867 and $1,073,345, respectively, and the Global Sustainable Fund utilized short-term capital loss carryforwards of $573,772.
At June 30, 2021, the Core Fund had long-term capital loss carryforwards that will not expire of $4,517,373 and the Select Fund had short-term and long-term capital loss carryforwards that will not expire of $251,279 and $3,946,110, respectively.
(d) Foreign Currency Translation
Values of investments denominated in foreign currencies are converted into U.S. dollars using a spot market rate of exchange each day. Purchases and sales of investments and dividend and interest income are translated to U.S. dollars using a spot market rate of exchange prevailing on the dates of such transactions. The Funds do not isolate that portion of the results of operations resulting from changes in foreign exchange rates and currency gains or losses realized between the trade and settlement dates on securities transactions from the fluctuations arising from changes in fair value of securities held. Such fluctuations are included with the net realized and unrealized gain or loss on investments. Each Fund separately reports net realized foreign exchange gains and losses that arise from sales of foreign currencies, currency gains or losses realized between the trade and settlement dates on foreign currency transactions, and the difference between the amounts of dividends, interest, and foreign withholding taxes recorded on the Fund's books and the U.S. dollar equivalent of the amounts actually received or paid. Net unrealized foreign exchange gains and losses arise from changes in the fair values of assets and liabilities, other than investments in securities at fiscal period end, which result from changes in exchange rates.
Each Fund, respectively, bears the risk of changes in the foreign currency exchange rates and their impact on the value of assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currency. Each Fund also bears the risk of a counterparty failing to fulfill its obligation under a foreign currency contract.
Investing in foreign companies involves risks not generally associated with investment in the securities of U.S. companies, including risks relating to political, social and economic developments abroad and differences between U.S. and foreign regulatory

requirements and market practices, including fluctuations in foreign currencies. The risks of foreign investments are typically greater in emerging and less developed markets.
(e) Indemnifications
Under the Funds' organizational documents, their officers and directors are indemnified against certain liabilities arising out of the performance of their duties to the Funds. In addition, in the normal course of business, the Funds enter into contracts that provide general indemnifications to other parties. The Funds' maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Funds that have not yet occurred. However, the Funds have not had prior claims or losses pursuant to these contracts and expect the risk of loss to be remote.
(f) Other
Investment transactions are accounted for on the trade date. The Funds determine the gain or loss realized from investment transactions by comparing the original cost of the specifically identified security lot sold with the net sale proceeds. Dividend income, less foreign taxes withheld, is recognized on the ex-dividend date, except that certain dividends from foreign securities are recorded as soon as the information becomes available to the Funds. Interest income is recognized on an accrual basis. All discounts/premiums are accreted/amortized using the effective interest method and are included in interest income. Withholding taxes on foreign dividends have been provided for in accordance with the Funds' understanding of the applicable country's tax codes and regulations.
Income, expenses (other than expenses attributable to a specific class) and realized and unrealized gains or losses on investments attributable to the Funds are generally allocated to each respective class in proportion to the relative net assets of each class. Expenses incurred that do not specifically relate to an individual Fund are allocated among all Funds in the Company in proportion to each Fund's relative net assets or by other equitable means.
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with 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 increases and decreases in net assets from operations during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
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. GAAP requires that permanent differences in distributable earnings due to differences between financial reporting and tax reporting be reclassified to or from paid in capital. These reclassifications have no effect on net assets or net asset value per share. For the fiscal year ended June 30, 2021, the following table shows the reclassifications made among tax components:
| | Global Equity Fund | | Global Plus Fund | | Global Sustainable Fund | | Core Fund | | Select Fund | |
Paid in capital | | $ | 5,283,330 | | | $ | 1,036,484 | | | $ | — | | | $ | (9,769 | ) | | $ | (2,957 | ) | |
Total distributable earnings (accumulated losses) | | | (5,283,330 | ) | | | (1,036,484 | ) | | | — | | | | 9,769 | | | | 2,957 | | |
The permanent differences primarily relate to equalization and non-deductible excise tax.

(3) INVESTMENT ADVISER AND RELATED PARTIES
Each of the Funds has entered into an agreement with Frontegra, with whom certain officers and a director of the Company are affiliated, to furnish investment advisory services to such Funds. Frontegra is a majority-owned subsidiary of Magellan Financial Group Limited and is an affiliate of MFG. William D. Forsyth III, the President and a director of the Company, is a control person of Frontegra.
Advisory fees are calculated daily and payable monthly, at annual rates set forth in the following table (expressed as a percentage of each Fund's average daily net assets). Pursuant to an expense cap/reimbursement agreement, Frontegra has agreed to waive its management fees and/or reimburse each Fund's operating expenses (exclusive of taxes, interest, brokerage commissions, acquired fund fees and expenses and extraordinary expenses) to ensure that each Fund's operating expenses do not exceed the expense limitation listed below. Expenses waived are netted with advisory fees payable on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities. On a monthly basis, these accounts are settled by each Fund making payment to the Adviser or the Adviser reimbursing the Fund if the reimbursement amount exceeds the advisory fee. If the amount of fees waived exceeds the advisory fee earned, this is shown on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities as a receivable from the Adviser. The expense cap/reimbursement agreement will continue in effect until October 31, 2023, with successive renewal terms of one year unless terminated by the Adviser or a Fund prior to any such renewal.

The Adviser is entitled to recoup the fees waived and/or expenses reimbursed within a three-year period from the date of the waiver or expense payment if such reimbursement will not cause a Fund's expense ratio to exceed the lesser of (a) the expense limitation in place at the time of the waiver and/or expense payment, or (b) the expense limitation in place at the time of recoupment. Expenses attributable to a specific class may only be recouped with respect to that class.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)
December 31, 2021 (Unaudited)
Frontegra has entered into a subadvisory agreement under which MFG serves as the subadviser to the Global Equity, Global Plus, Global Sustainable, Core Infrastructure and Select Infrastructure Funds, and subject to Frontegra's supervision, manages each Fund's portfolio assets. Under the agreement, for each Fund subadvised by MFG, MFG is paid the net advisory fee received by Frontegra after giving effect to any fee waiver or reimbursement by Frontegra pursuant to the expense cap/reimbursement agreement discussed above, less an annual flat fee retained by Frontegra; provided however, if the net advisory fee is less than such flat fee, Frontegra shall retain the entire net advisory fee and no subadvisory fee will be payable to MFG.
Frontegra has also entered into a subadvisory agreement under which H.A.M.L. serves as the subadviser to the HyperiUS Fund and, subject to Frontegra's supervision, manages the Fund's portfolio assets. Under the agreement, H.A.M.L. is compensated by Frontegra for its investment advisory services at the annual rate of 75% of the net advisory fee received by Frontegra from the Fund after giving effect to any fee waiver or reimbursement by Frontegra pursuant to the expense cap agreement. The HyperiUS Fund's organizational costs were paid for by Frontegra and H.A.M.L. and are not recoupable.
The beneficial ownership, either directly or indirectly, of more than 25% of a Fund's voting securities creates a presumption of control. As of December 31, 2021, each Fund had individual shareholder accounts and/or omnibus shareholder accounts (comprised of a group of individual shareholders), which amounted to more than 25% of the total shares outstanding of the respective Fund. Affiliates of the Adviser own 100% of the total shares outstanding of the HyperiUS Fund and a controlling interest in the Global Sustainable Fund. Shareholders with a controlling interest could affect the outcome of proxy voting or direction of management of a Fund.

Each Fund is permitted to purchase or sell securities from or to another Fund or from or to another account that is an affiliate of a Fund solely by virtue of having a common investment adviser or another permitted affiliation, pursuant to procedures adopted by the Board of Directors in accordance with Rule 17a-7 under the 1940 Act and related SEC guidance. The procedures require each trade to be conducted at the current market price and include other conditions designed to prevent any potential for overreaching. For the six months ended December 31, 2021, the HyperiUS Fund engaged in two securities transactions in accordance with the Company's Rule 17a-7 procedures consisting of one purchase in the amount of $841,531 and one sale in the amount of $37,713 resulting in $2,054 of realized gains.
(5) DISTRIBUTION PLAN AND SHAREHOLDER SERVICING FEE
The Company, on behalf of the Global Plus Fund, has adopted a distribution plan pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act for the Fund's Class Y shares (the "12b-1 Plan").

Those services include establishing and maintaining shareholder accounts, mailing prospectuses, account statements and other Fund documents to shareholders, processing shareholder transactions, and providing other recordkeeping and administrative services.

(6) IMPACTS OF COVID-19

The operational and financial performance of the Funds' investments depends on future developments, including the duration and spread of the outbreak, and such uncertainty may in turn impact the value of each of the Funds' investments.

BOARD OF DIRECTORS' APPROVAL OF ADVISORY AND
SUBADVISORY AGREEMENTS
(Unaudited)
The Board of Directors (the "Board") of Frontier Funds, Inc. (the "Company"), including the directors who are not "interested persons" as defined in Section 2(a)(9) of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the "1940 Act"), of the Company (the "Independent Directors"), met on November 15, 2021, to consider the approval of an investment advisory agreement with Frontegra Asset Management, Inc. ("Frontegra") and a subadvisory agreement between Frontegra and Hyperion Asset Management Limited (doing business as H.A.M.L. ("Hyperion")) with respect to a new series of the Company, the Frontier HyperiUS Global Equity Fund (the "Fund").
In connection with its consideration of the agreements, the Board reviewed and discussed various information that had been provided prior to the meeting, such as the proposed advisory and subadvisory agreements, information regarding each firm's compliance program, personnel and financial condition, Hyperion's Form ADV, Hyperion's Code of Ethics and Rule 17j-1 certification, audited financial statements of Hyperion and Hyperion's parent company, historical performance information for other global growth equity accounts managed by Hyperion using a similar strategy as the Fund, and a memorandum prepared by the Company's legal counsel regarding the Board's duties in approving advisory and subadvisory agreements. The Board also reviewed the advisory fee to be paid by the Fund under the advisory agreement, the expense cap/reimbursement agreement between the Company and Frontegra, on behalf of the Fund, and comparative fee and expense information provided by an independent service. The Board considered the subadvisory fees to be paid by Frontegra to Hyperion and the proposed fee schedule, noting that the subadvisory fee structure was negotiated at arm's length between Frontegra and Hyperion, an unaffiliated third party, and that Frontegra would compensate Hyperion from its own fees. The Board also considered Frontegra's and Hyperion's responses to the Section 15(c) request submitted by the Company's legal counsel on behalf of the directors. The directors also discussed with representatives of Frontegra and Hyperion the nature, extent and quality of the advisory, compliance and other services to be provided by Frontegra and Hyperion, respectively.
In evaluating the advisory agreement, the Board took into account their cumulative experience in working with Frontegra for many years and their ongoing review of information and discussions with representatives of Frontegra throughout the year at Board meetings. With respect to the subadvisory agreement, the Board also considered information provided by Frontegra and Hyperion in February 2019 in connection with the Board's initial approval of the agreements. The Independent Directors also met in separate executive sessions with the Company's Chief Compliance Officer and legal counsel to discuss aspects relevant to their review of the advisory and subadvisory agreements. During the regular meeting, the directors discussed their responsibilities and the 15(c) responses with legal counsel of the Company.
Based on its evaluation of this information, the Board, including all of the Independent Directors, approved the advisory agreement and subadvisory agreement, each for initial two-year terms. In considering the advisory and subadvisory agreements, the Board reviewed and analyzed various factors with respect to the Fund that it determined were relevant, including the factors below, and made the following conclusions. In its deliberations, the Board did not identify any single factor as determinative.
Advisory Agreement
Nature, Extent and Quality of the Services to be Provided. The Board reviewed and considered the services Frontegra would provide to the Fund and its shareholders under the advisory agreement, as well as the qualifications and background of Frontegra and its personnel. The Board noted that Frontegra serves as a manager of managers and had selected Hyperion to make the day-to-day investment decisions for the Fund. The Board considered that Frontegra has 25 years of experience in hiring and supervising subadvisers to portfolios in the Frontier family of funds. The Board discussed Frontegra's responsibilities for overseeing Hyperion and for supervising the management of the Fund's investments. The Board considered the services to be provided by Frontegra compared to those to be provided by Hyperion, as well as the level of the risks assumed by Frontegra as investment adviser/sponsor of the Fund. The Board considered the quality of other services to be provided by Frontegra, including: subadviser due diligence; performance oversight; risk management oversight; Board
page 55
![](https://capedge.com/proxy/N-CSRS/0001104659-22-030485/j2213102_ha062.jpg)
support; oversight and coordination of service providers; oversight of financial reporting; administration of the Fund's compliance program; oversight of the Fund's valuation and liquidity policies; tax and global custody services; regulatory administration services; shareholder servicing and administration services; and the provision of Fund officers and office space. The Board concluded that it was satisfied with the nature, extent and quality of services to be provided by Frontegra under the advisory agreement.
Proposed Advisory Fee. The Board compared the Fund's advisory fee and total net expense ratio to industry data with respect to other mutual funds in Morningstar's World Large-Stock Growth category. The Board noted that the proposed advisory fee was higher than the Morningstar category average, within the range of advisory fees paid by other global equity funds and the same as the advisory fee for the other global equity funds for which Frontegra serves as investment adviser. The Board also considered the fact that Frontegra has agreed to enter into an expense cap/reimbursement agreement on behalf of the Fund pursuant to which it would waive its management fee and/or reimburse the Fund's expenses to a level equal to that of the advisory fee for Institutional Class shares through at least October 31, 2023. The Board considered that the Fund's total net expense ratio for Institutional Class shares, after giving effect to the expense cap agreement, was lower than the Morningstar category average. The Board concluded that the proposed advisory fee to be paid by the Fund to Frontegra was reasonable in light of the nature and quality of services to be provided and fees paid by comparable funds.
Costs and Profitability. The Board considered information about the Fund's potential financial breakeven point, but did not consider the costs of services to be provided or the profits Frontegra might realize to be a material factor because the Fund has not commenced operations.
Economies of Scale. Because the Fund has not commenced operations, the Board did not consider whether any alternative fee structures, such as breakpoint fees, would be appropriate to reflect any economies of scale that may result from increases in the Fund's assets.
Benefits to Frontegra. The Board considered information presented regarding any benefits to Frontegra or its affiliates from serving as investment adviser to the Fund (in addition to the advisory fee). The Board noted that Frontier Partners, Inc. ("Frontier"), an affiliate of Frontegra, provides consulting and marketing services to and is compensated by Hyperion. The Board also considered the potential benefits to Mr. Forsyth due to his ownership of a small position in a public company shareholder of Hyperion's parent company. The Board determined that Frontegra's services to the Fund would not be compromised by these potential conflicts of interest.
On the basis of its review of the foregoing information, the Board found that the terms of the advisory agreement were fair and reasonable and in the best interests of the Fund's shareholders.
Subadvisory Agreement
Nature, Extent and Quality of the Services to be Provided. The Board reviewed and considered Hyperion's background and 25 years of experience as an equity manager and experience as a global equity manager since 2014. The Board also considered the experience and credentials of key personnel involved in providing investment management and other services to the Fund. The Board also considered services to be provided by Hyperion under the subadvisory agreement, including the management of the Fund's investments, the selection of broker-dealers for execution of portfolio transactions, monitoring adherence to the Fund's investment restrictions, reporting, regulatory and administrative services and assisting with the Fund's compliance program. The Board considered its discussions of Hyperion's investment strategies, compliance program and personnel, performance information of similarly managed accounts, financial condition of Hyperion and its parent company and other matters with representatives of Hyperion at the November 15, 2021, meeting. The Board concluded that the nature, extent and quality of services to be provided by Hyperion were appropriate and that the Fund was likely to benefit from such services under the subadvisory agreement.
page 56
![](https://capedge.com/proxy/N-CSRS/0001104659-22-030485/j2213102_ha063.jpg)
Investment Performance of Hyperion. The Board reviewed historical performance information for a composite of accounts managed by Hyperion in a comparable strategy as the Fund. Although past performance is not a guarantee or indication of future results, the Board determined that the Fund and its shareholders were likely to benefit from Hyperion's portfolio management services.
Proposed Subadvisory Fee. The Board considered the subadvisory fee payable by Frontegra to Hyperion with respect to the Fund, noting that the subadvisory fee structure was negotiated at arm's length. The Board considered the fact that Hyperion agreed to share in the fees and expenses related to the organization of the Fund and any expense reimbursements made by Frontegra pursuant to the expense cap/reimbursement agreement, as well as a portion of the payments made by Frontegra to financial intermediaries for sub-transfer agent and other administrative services. The Board determined that the subadvisory fee payable with respect to the Fund was appropriate. In evaluating the subadvisory fee, the Board noted that such amounts are paid by Frontegra and that, therefore, the overall advisory fee to be paid by the Fund is not directly affected by the subadvisory fee.
Costs and Profitability. The Board reviewed the financial condition of Hyperion and its parent company and determined that Hyperion had sufficient resources to provide the contracted services to the Fund. The Board did not consider the cost of services to be provided by Hyperion or projected profitability information because the subadvisory fee is paid by Frontegra.
Economies of Scale. Because the subadvisory fee is not paid by the Fund, the Board did not consider whether the fee should reflect any potential economies of scale that might be realized as the Fund's assets increase.
Benefits to Hyperion. The Board considered information presented regarding any benefits to Hyperion from serving as subadviser to the Fund (in addition to the subadvisory fee). The Board considered Hyperion's proposed brokerage and soft dollar policy and soft dollar research benefits Hyperion may realize from its association with the Fund. The Board also noted that Frontier provides consulting and marketing services to Hyperion under a solicitation agreement pursuant to which Hyperion pays solicitation fees to personnel of Frontier. The Board concluded that the benefits to be realized by Hyperion from its relationship to the Fund were reasonable.
On the basis of its review of the foregoing information, the Board found that the terms of the subadvisory agreement were fair and reasonable and in the best interests of the Fund.
