Dear Fellow Shareholders,
We are pleased to bring to you the semi-annual report to shareholders for the CAMCO Investors Fund. As of June 30, 2006 the fund has gained +4.28% for the year. This compares favorably to year to date returns of +1.76% for the S+P 500 and +4.04% for the Dow Jones Industrials. Since the fund was opened to shareholders on August 2, 2004 the CAMCO Investors Fund has increased +21.92%, outpacing the gains for the S+P 500, up +14.78% and the Dow Jones Industrials, up +9.54%.
For the first six months of this year, the Fund's positive performance has been aided by key stocks such as CarMax, Highwood Properties, Input-Output and Select Comfort. All of those stocks saw their share prices rise by more than 25% since the beginning of the year. CarMax and Select Comfort continued to post better than expected results and shareholders were rewarded for those results. Highwood received an unsolicited buyout offer from a private investment group which propelled its shares higher. Input-Output saw its stock price rise on improving company fundamentals and higher energy prices. The Fund was negatively impacted by the slowdown in housing, which significantly hurt the share price of KB Homes and Meritage Homes, the two homebuilder stocks in the Fund's portfolio. Each of those stocks saw share prices fall by a third this year. The slowing housing market also hurt the returns of Lowes, the home improvement retailer, one of the Fund's largest positions.
As we look forward to the rest of this year, we are cautiously optimistic in regards to our current market assessment. We come to this conclusion for several reasons. First, the economy continues to perform well. For the first six months, GDP grew at a healthy 5.6% rate in the first quarter, but expected to slow to a more sustainable 2.5% rate in the second quarter. This slowdown in GDP growth should hopefully lessen the need of the Federal Reserve Open Market Committee to continue raising short term interest rates. Second, corporate profit growth continues to be quite robust. The first quarter of 2006 saw S+P 500 earnings growth of nearly 14% year over year. This was a record sixteen consecutive quarters of earnings growth in double digits. However, the recent strong performance in profits has not been matched with commensurate stock price performance, therefore the Price Earnings ratios of the average stock has fallen. In fact, at the end of June, the PE of the S+P 500 was approaching 15, the lowest level for that ratio since 1995. When coupled with the negative market sentiment over high energy prices, Mideast turmoil and the so-called housing "bubble", we believe that the next likely move for stock prices will be higher. Having a long-term value oriented approach to the markets is one way to take advantage of the current opportunities. Of course, that is exactly what your Fund management team will be doing.
As always, we appreciate the confidence that you have placed in us. We promise to continue to focus on both the value and the "values" of your current and future investments. Please feel free to let us know how we are doing. We welcome calls from our shareholders and look forward to speaking with you.
With Kindest Regards,
/s/ Rick Weitz /s/ Dennis Connor

Camco Investors Fund
Notes to Financial Statements
June 30, 2006 (Unaudited)
Note 1. Organization
The CAMCO Investors Fund (the "Fund"), is a non-diversified, open-end management investment company registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended.
The Fund is incorporated under the laws of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania.
On December 4, 2002 the sole shareholder of the Fund, Bernard Klawans approved the name change of the Fund from The O'Higgins Fund, Inc. to CAMCO Investors Funds; a new investment advisor was approved, Cornerstone Asset Management, Inc. ("CAMCO"); and a change in the investment objectives of the Fund was approved. The Fund's new investment objective is to seek capital appreciation.
Note 2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
The following is a summary of significant accounting policies employed by the Fund in preparing its financial statements:
Security Valuation- Equity securities generally are valued by using market quotations, but may be valued on the basis of prices furnished by a pricing service when the Adviser believes such prices accurately reflect the fair market value of such securities. Securities that are traded on any stock exchange or on the NASDAQ over-the-counter market are generally valued by the pricing service at the last quoted sale price. Lacking a last sale price, an equity security is generally valued by the pricing service at its last bid price. When market quotations are not readily available, when the Adviser determines that the market quotation or the price provided by the pricing service does not accurately reflect the current market value, or when restricted or illiquid securities are being valued, such securities are valued as determined in good faith by the Board of Trustees.
Securities Transactions and Investment Income- Security transactions are recorded on the dates the transactions are entered into (the trade dates). Realized gains and losses on security transactions are determined on the identified cost basis. Dividend income is
recorded on the ex-dividend date. Interest income is determined on the accrual basis. Discount on fixed income securities is amortized.
Repurchase agreements - In connection with transactions in repurchase agreements, it is the Company's policy that its custodian take possession of the underlying collateral securities, the fair value of which exceeds the principal amount of the repurchase transaction, including accrued interest, at all times. If the seller defaults, and the fair value of the collateral declines, realization of the collateral by the Company may be delayed or limited.
Dividends and Distributions to Shareholders- The Fund records all dividends and distributions payable to shareholders on the ex-dividend date.
Permanent book and tax differences relating to shareholder distributions may result in reclassifications to paid in capital and may affect the per-share allocation between net investment income and realized and unrealized gain/loss. Undistributed net investment income and accumulated undistributed net realized gain/loss on investment transactions may include temporary book and tax differences which reverse in subsequent periods. Any taxable income or gain remaining at fiscal year end is distributed in the following year.
Federal Income Taxes- It is the Fund's intention to qualify as a regulated investment company and distribute all of its taxable income. The Fund has complied to date with the provisions of the Internal Revenue Code applicable to investment companies and accordingly, no provision for Federal income taxes is required in the financial statements.
Use of Estimates - The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles 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 may differ from those estimates.
Note 3. Transactions with Affiliates
Under the terms of the investment management agreement, CAMCO has agreed to provide the Fund with investment management services, and pay all operating expenses of the Fund except taxes, brokerage commissions, and one-time extraordinary expenses for an annual fee of 1.98% of the average daily net assets of the Fund. Other services that CAMCO may provide will be at no additional expense to the Fund. For the six months ending June 30, 2006, CAMCO earned a fee of $80,989 from the Fund. At June 30, 2006 the Fund owed CAMCO $13,705.
The Fund places its portfolio transactions through Syndicated Capital, a broker dealer in which certain officers and directors of the Fund and officers, the control person, and directors of the Adviser are registered representatives. The officers and directors of the Fund and of the Adviser receive no compensation for such transactions. For the six months ending June 30, 2006 the Fund paid Syndicated Capital brokerage commissions of $368 which constituted 100% of commissions paid by the Fund
.

EXPENSE EXAMPLE
June 30, 2006 (Unaudited)
Expense Example
As a shareholder of the Camco Investors Fund, you incur one type of cost: management fees. 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, January 1, 2006 through June 30, 2006.
Actual Expenses
The first line of the table below provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this line, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the first 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 table below provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Fund's actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Fund's actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in this Fund 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.
